Of made-up flowers for Memorial day siiles, probably the wreath takes the lead — it is the design invariably chosen where a piece is ordered for the tomb of some noted man. Flat sprays prob- ably have the preference for private uses, l)ut if a club, or lodge, or church wants a design, the wreath is the one that will be called for. The accompanying illus- tration shows an excellent form for such a memorial purpose. This wreath is made of laurel and lilies, but it might as well be made of any one of the flowers now in season. Instead of lilies, roses, I carnations or peonies could be used with equally good effect. Instead of laurel, the wreath might be made of galax, box- wood or leucothce. The ribbon adds more to the appearance than to the cost. MEMORIAL DAY. The Cut Flower Growers' Own. Memorial day is one of the special tiower holidays at which the grower of blooming plants "cuts no ice." No matter how loudly the retailer may pro- claim at Easter or at Christmas, " I 'll push the plants; no more high priced pickled- cut stock in mine," as May 30 approaches he has not a word to say, for plants or against cut flowers — the Memorial day requirements are prac- tically exclusively for cut blooms; no- body wants plants that holiday. There is, of course, a large demand for plants for bedding out at Memorial day, or rather a demand that the bedding-out sliall be completed by that date, but as for special plant sales for May 30, there are none, nor is there any reason why the retail florist should care to change the existing condition. Memorial day comes at a time when cut flower supplies ordinarily are large. This year the general prospect is for rather heavier supplies than usual of greenhouse grown cut flowers, if for rather light supplies of outdoor stock, stock. Good Stock Abundant This Year. Memorial day is not a time that qual- ity counts so much as at other seasons. Most of the flowers sold find their way to the cemeteries, and if in presentable • ondition at the time they are left there, no one is the wiser if the lasting quality does not prove to be exceptional.

Tliere is, no line of niprchandise which can be advertised in s > many different ways with such uni- formly good result. While many florists wlio advertise ignore funeral flowers on the principle that if you can induce peo- ple to buy flowers at other times, they' art- certain to order for funerals, still it is possible to advertise funeral flowers in a way not offensive to good taste. Every other phase of the flower business lends itself readily to all forms of pub- licity. The daily newspaper is the best of all inhertising media for the retail florist. You can do in newspaper space anything yuu can do by circular or letter; the only difference is that when you talk through the newspaper you address all tlio people who see your advertisement, at a cost much less than you could ad- dross them individually, by circular, let- t• without liinil.

What the peony is for decorative elfect at Memorial day, the cape jasmine is for desii,nis. ])uriiig its season it relieves the monotony i>i (,'leveu months' use of green- liouse tl()\vers and gives the design-maker an opportunity to make his, pieces with flowers that some of the customers at least will know cost 75 cents apiece for mid-winter bontonnieres. With the more general observance of Memorial day has come an enlarged de- mand for designs, many of which are taken to the cemeteries, or to be placed upon the monuments erected in honor of the great men of history. For such a ]»urj)o.se 'as a Memorial wreath there could be no more suitable flower than the cape jasmine. IIow well it works into such a design is shown by the accompanying illustration, which is rej>roduced from a ]diotograj)h of a wreath made to be ]daced on the tomb of a famous soldier. The flower 's own green largely suflices in such work, but care should be taken that stems be not cut too short; when ;set too closely in the wreath the flower jotcs iinirji of its natural grace. MOTHERS' DAY. General Satisfaction Expressed. The letters reaching the Review con- tinue to speak of a splendid business done for Mothers' day, and it becomes more and more apparent that a new flower holi- day of the first magnitude has become fairly well established. Next year the. observance will be still more general, if one may judge by the reports, and it will be smoother sailing. Growers will see to it that there are more white carnations anil retailers will push colored stock "for Mothers living," thereby equalizing prices and making it possible to do more busi- IK'SS. Kenosha, Wis. I went to our mayor and he issued a ])roclam;ition for Mothers' day. in which he reconunended the wearing of A white Hi>'., Toronto daily published on Friday and Saturday that flowers should be worn on Sunday, Mothers' day, u A whiti' llowcr for Mother's iiietiiory.

We think that this should be published and known throughout the country by the time that another Mothers' day comes around. There cannot be enough white carnations to supply everyone with white, and by using the colored for the living it will give the colored an even chance with the white. That will keep the prices down so that the poor and those in moderate cir- cumstances can have an equal chance with the rich in remembering "the best mother that ever lived." AtEN & MORELAND. New Castle, O. Business was surprisingly good for Mothers' day. Carnations being exhaust- ed, geraniums and other flowers were used. Committees from Sabbath schools came for miles for flowers. They took anything they could get — white or col- ored. One school took geraniums in pots to present to each member. Others made it a homecoming day, the family gath- ering around the mother, bringing her flowers, and then gathering around the table. I suggest that another year an- nouncements be made earlier, and believe that more flowers can be sold Mothers' day than any other one day in the year. So let every florist become interested and thank the Eeview for pushing the day upon our attention. A. O. Nysewandee. Massillon, O. In the issues of May 5 and 12, in re- gard to Mothers' day, the Review seems to place all the blame for high prices on the retailers; in fact, it looks as if the Review was subsidized by the wholesal- ers. I should like to know who created the demand for flowers on Mothers' day, or, in fact, for any special day? Under existing conditions, who is reaping the benefit of the created demand? As for myself, I saw great possibilities for the florist in Mothers' day and did what I could to push the sale of flowers. The result was I did an enormous busi- ness; but, on account of the unreasonable stand taken by the wholesalers, did the business at a flnancial loss. There is absolutely no inducement for the retailer to push for any special day in the flower business, and if they do not, where will the wholesaler get his excuse to boost prices? It is not the retailer, but the wholesaler, who will kill the goose that lays the golden egg. AuGUSTiN Weaver. [The question of holiday prices has been thrashed over so often that nothing new can be said of it, but this corre- spondent evidently did not catch the 'Re- view's idea. The Review never put the "blame" for high prices on the retail- ers. If Mr. Weaver were a grower for a wholesale market ho would not use the word "blame" iu connection with high prices, but with low. The point of view makes all the difference. What the Re- view did say was that the law of supply and demand is "to blame" for prices, both high and low, and that the retailers could reduce the price of white carnations by working to turn a part of the Mothers' day special demand to colored stock, thereby equalizing values and making prices fair to all.] FATHERS* DAY. A woman florist supplies the follow- ing: "Many fathers question among them- selves, 'Why don't they have a Fathers' day?' They argue thus: 'Now, while we are having Mothers' day and praising her as she deserves, let's not forget father. Who was it at 3 a. m. "walked the floor ' ' with mother when she was a baby? Who heated the milk over a smoky lamp for that same squalling child?— Father.' Even if the state doesn't set aside a day for father, have one yourself. Too many people have the idea that father is just a human being with no feeling, just to go and come, hand mother the money and work — that 's all. Let 's have our Mothers ' day, but away down in your heart have a big space for father. " SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. Benching. It is usual, in the spring rush which comes along in every florist's establish- ment, that the mums are forgotten, but the early varieties at least should be benched during the present month. Too often, at this season of the year, do we see the cuttings left in the sand weeks after they should have been taken out and either boxed or potted up. The re- sult is apparent in the thousands of wretched looking plants that are annual- ly benched, which, had they been taken and potted in good season, would have been nice, sturdy, healthy stock. There is no place better than the cold- frame for young mums after about the middle of April, for then the weather is mild enough so that the plants do not need much attention in the line of cover- ing. I said a moment ago that early varieties should be benched this month, but the same thing really applies to a good many of the midseason kinds, if one wishes to grow them to their highest perfection. The exhibition grower has long since found out that to get a deep, well finished flower, he must plant early and get the age in his plants to ripen up the wood properly. A large percentage of exhibitors today are growing their plants in pots or boxes, claiming, and apparently with good rea- son, that with the roots confined plants can be more heavily fed when the blooms are finishing, and with better results. In our case, as in almost every commercial establishment, pot culture is too expen- sive and we continue to stick to bench culture. Early varieties, such as Golden Glow, October Frost, with its yellow sport, and Monrovia, if benched now, have time to make a nice growth before the bud is taken in July. If they are not planted until late, the growth is either too short or the bud is produced too late to get the largest returns from the flowers. This is particularly true in the case of Monrovia, as buds secured from July 12 to 25 pro- duce flowers greatly superior to buds se- cured during August. Many growers who claim that Mon- rovia does not come full enough with them, ought to realize that the fault is most likely their own, in not getting the bud at the proper season. Soil. The question of soil in benching chrys- anthemums is perhaps not of so much importance as it is for roses, or some other crops, since the mum seems equally at home in the black prairie soil of the west or the light sandy soil of the Jer- sey coast. We always aim, at planting time, to set out the plants in three parts fresh, sweet loam with one part of rotten manure mixed through it. The more fiber thejie i» in the loam the more we like it, as it is almost impossible to make such soil sour by watering, and the first thing to do above all others is to get a good rooting medium even though the soil may incline to be poor, because I think with a good strong root action on a plant, feeding can easily be applied in liquid at any stage of the growing period. The question is often asked me at thi* season of the year, ' ' Would you rather grow your plants on a raised bench or a solid bed?" and trom my. experience I invariably reply. "In a raised bench." There the plants only have from four and one-half to five inches of soil to grow in and the root action is absolutely under control at all times. Planted out in a solid bed, the roots are apt to get away and one cannot tell whether the lertilizer that is being applied is doing the good it should. In filling the bench we just simply fill it level full, and then after the plants- have been set out and the bed rendered solid, more or less, the soil settles down about half an inch from the top and gives ample room for watering at all seasons. Spacing. The distance apart to set out the plants must be governed considerably by the grade of flowers and the varieties one proposes to grow. We set out our plants X May 19, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review^ 19 about eight inches by ten. In the case of Mile. Desjouis, Yellow Ivory or small loafed varieties of that description, one <'an set the plants quite a little closer with safety. I am well aware that some .rrowers plant a great deal closer than niis with fairly satisfactory results, but our aim is to have the finest flowers ob- tainable, as we have discovered that the market in New York will pay the price for the flowers that are away above the Miarket grade. If a man is in a small town, where tne retail price is from $2 to $5 per dozen, lie will naturally plant closer and en- deavor to make his income by a larger quantity of flowers to cut. Anyone who purposes to grow flowers for exhibition will find that it is absolutely imperative to give the plants sufficient room so that every flower develops perfectly in its own space. While it would not do for every florist to grow only just the best flowers, still I have often thought that, if the grade were twice as good and the number re- duced one-half, there would probably be a much better price prevailing in the fall for mums than there has been for the last two years. Early Sorts Most Profitable. It is a question with many sometimes whether to concentrate on the early flow- ering varieties or to have more of the later varieties. It will be found, five sea- sons out of six, that the early varieties are more profitable to grow. When we get the early fall frosts, nip- ping everything outside, during the -last of September, the demand for early flow- ers is immediate and profitable. If the weather continues warm, however, early varieties do not sell so well, but under average conditions the man who has a first-class lot of flowers to sell around the first of October can almost always make a profit on them. It is, of course, possible to get some varieties in from the middle of August to the first of Sep- tember, but I have always argued that there is a time and place for everything and the time for the mums does not seem right until the frosty nights and clear, cold, crispy days remind us that the summer has really ended. Late varieties, in some localities, pay pretty well, but in most of the eastern markets people do not want to see mums after Thanksgiving. • Midseason varieties pay least of any, because they are in during the glut and unless of superior quality often get sac- rificed. The far-seeing grower is he who studies out this question before planting time. It is of little use regretting next October, when a little foresight before planting time will make considerable dif- ference in the returns per square foot of bench surface. Chas. H. Totty.

While there are many varieties to select from, the foregoing will give you a good .selection, in early, nudseason and late. They are all easy doers and seem to give good satisfaction through the country generally. As to which is the right size to buy for planting for the best results, there is, to my mind, nothing like a good plant in a 2^ -inch pot. If finances play an im- portant part in the operation, rooted cut- tings may be procured, but I do not call it the best policy to buy rooted cuttings if they have to be shipped any distance. C. H. T. MUMS AT ALMOST ALL SEASONS. Perhaps the majority of florists are not fully aware of the possibilities that exist in the Golden Glow chrysanthemum as a flower for nearly all seasons of the year, available for about all of the great holi- days and church festivals when flowers are especially in demand. A correspond- ent of the Review stated, in the issue of May 12, that he had just seen some ship- ments of well flowered pots of Golden Glow mums. The flowers, he said, were fully equal to those usually produced in October. He added that he "had seen this variety in bloom for Labor day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and, with the addition of Memorial day, only Easter is lacking to complete the cycle of floral festivals. ' ' E. Leroy Johnson, of Palmer, Mass., writing at almost the same date as the correspondent quoted from, unconsciously verifies the foregoing statements, and even supplements them, for he says it is possible, also, to have Golden Glow mums for Easter. A sample of Mr. Johnson's blooms is shown in the illustration here reproduced. The mums, he says, were planted last winter and the first blooms were cut April 23. With reference to the methods used in growing them, he says: ' ' I took the cuttings October 22, 1909, and put them in 214-inch pots November 9. They wore placed in the bench about January 1 and run in a cool house, with mum stock plants and the like. In fact, the temperature one night went down to 28 degrees. They did not make much growth, except at the roots, until the latter part of February. Then they grew like weeds. They were grown one bloom to a plant and were fed with liquid cow manure from the time the buds showed until tftey showed color. They were grown as an experiment, so only 100 were planted. "By growing them a little warmer, say at a carnation temperature, they could be had for Easter in most years. Also, they could be grown on into 3-incb pots before benching, thus saving room." YELLOW PETUNIA FOLIAGE. I should like to know what makes the leaves on my double petunias turn yellow and die at the bottom, near the pot. Some are all yellow and some not at all. I cannot see any insects on them. C. P. M. Too dry root conditions, or lack of food, may be the cause of the leaves turning yellow. Give an abundance of water and if the pots are well filled with roots, give liquid manure once in four or five days. A teaspoonful of nitrate of soda in three gallons of water, given on two occasions a week apart, mil tone them up. Petunias want plenty of water and quickly take on a yellow hue if starved at the roots. C. W. Richmond, Ind. — Fred H. Lemon & Co. have shown that they are wide-awake and hot after business, by running a two-col- umn advertisement of bedding plants in a local daUy paper. 18 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Mav 19, 1010. motliiM' is liviiiy nv ilr,-c;iM'(l. \Vi' iliiiik tliiit tills sli<]iil(| 111' |jnlilislii'(l aiiil known tlinmolimil tlic couiiiiy liy llic Time tluit aiiotlicr .Nfittiii'is ' (lay conies aroiiiiil.

FILLING CEMETERY VASES. An Important Item With Many. Memorial day will soon be here and it brings a busy time. Not only do our customers want their vases filled in the cemeteries, but there is often the desire expressed: "I want our flower beds and veranda boxes filled by Decoration day. ' ' Those who do what we call a cemetery business, and fill 300 or 400 vases, know jvhat a laborious business it is. Some years ago there were several kinds of vases and baskets used for this purpose. There were cast-iron vases, wire gaskets or stands and rustic baskets. Now there are few of any kind but the iron vases and they certainly have the best ap- pearance, as well as being practically everlasting. A coat of paint annually and they are always new. There is rather too much sameness in the painting. Ninety-five per cent or more are painted white. While any gaudy color would be quite out of place, if more were painted a deep green and others a stone color it would relieve the monotony. Do It at the Greenhouses. Time was when we used to send wag- ons loaded with plants to the cemetery iron vases and, of course, some large stone vases that have to be filled at the cemeteries, but nearly all iron vases are of the reservoir type and the top, or bowl, can be lifted off and brought to the greenhouses and much more satis- factorily filled. The work can be done much better, with no waste of plants, and you have the contents of the whole greenhouses at your back. There may be a little more teaming this way, but, all things considered, it is by far the better plan. The Profit. We never considered that there was much margin of profit in this vase filling business, yet a change in style of late years has been somewhat in our favor. Ten years ago, with few exceptions, the vases were filled with a mixture of plants, with vines around the edge. Often have we counted the plants and found that at wholesale prices they would cost as much as we got for the filling, soil, moss and labor thrown in. But remember that in those cases we largely used what we had and so cleaned up on everything, and that makes a wonderful difference. Did you ever think of the difference in the profits of a place where all the stock is in salable shape and the benches emptied and one where one-third or one- Bedding Plants at a Rochester Residence. . (Garden walk edged with Mmo. Sallerol Keranliim; back of these Gen. Grant greranluni, delphiniums, phloxes, etc., and shrubs.) and other wagons with soil, and a gang of men, and attempt to fill fifty vases in a day. We have got over that, for there was too much waste of material. Plants were broken and wilted and the battered plants that came back made too big an item. There are a few old-fashioned half the plants, for some reason or other, are left unsold! It is the difference be- tween success and failure. Every foot of your bench room must yield you some profit. If it does not, it has dragged down the profit of the space that did pay. Red Geraniums Mostly Wanted. But to return to the vases. The great majority are now filled with one kind of plant, mostly geraniums. There are sev- eral reasons for this. They are always in bloom, are neat and compact and do not suffer from a little neglect of water. They make a bright, gay spot. S. A. Nutt is such an admirable variety for this purpose that it is overdone. The individual owner of a cemetery lot may be charmed with his brilliant mass of scarlet blooms, but when there are forty similar ones within 100 yards, the effect is not "pleasant. There should be more pink, white and salmon. Beaute Poite- vine, Mrs. Frances Perkins and John Doyle are all fine for the purpose. The green vinca is good for edging the scar- lets and the variegated vinca for the pink and salmon shades. A dwarf white geranium is fine for Mrs, Perkins and Mme, Salleroi is often wanted as an edg- ing for Nutt. A combination that many want is a pink geranium for the center with an edging of the pink ivy-leaved geranium. Other Good Material Large vases are sometimes filled with dwarf, free-flowering cannas of one va- riety, such as Tarrytown, the Express, or Souvenir de Antoine Crozy, Large stone vases are sometimes filled with Caladium esculentum, but these vigorous rooting plants should never be used in combination with other plants, for they quickly starve theip out. Begonias of the Vernon type make pretty vases and where there is some shade during the hottest hours we have filled vases with tuberous-rooted begonias, and rich and choice they look. This doesn't pretend to have exhausted the list of available plants for this pur- pose, but always recommend the filling to be of one kind of plant. There is iqpre profit for you and it isi sure to be more satisfactory to your patron. If your customer wants scarlet geraniums, it will have to be so, but encourage variety. It is not the beauty of one lot that should please the visitor to the city of the dead, but the generally pleasing ap- pearance of the whole grounds. Mixed Plants. If the mixed vase is still preferred, there is considerable choice of material. For a center plant there is nothing equal to that cast-iron plant, Dracaena indivisa. It not only exists, but it grows and en- dures the fierce sun and drying winds. Then there are the geraniums, coleus, achyranthes, variegated geraniums. Be- gonia Vernon, acalypha, Boston fern, centaurea, fuchsias (in the shade), pe- tunias, etc. , About the only palm that would be good for a center plant in place of the dracsena would be the phce- nix. They will stand the sun and the wind. It is neither fair nor wise to put in plants that will make a fine show for a week or two and then be out of bloom for the whole summer. Such plants as the white feverfew or show pelargonium will not do, or any plant the flowering season of which is short. Nearly every cemetery has situations where any plants will thrive and other bleak, windy posi- tions where only the hardiest plants will preserve a decent appearance. This must be studied. Drooping Plants. All these mixed vases will want an assortment of drooping plants and there May 19, 1910.

To the right white and red geraniumn, Kn^rllHli ivy and atnpelopsis.) are few really good ones. Some that may thrive and flower in a sheltered, partly shaded place will look like rats' tails in a few weeks if exposed to the winds and starved for root room. The English ivy will remain just where you put it, but in a vase is not graceful. The vincas are truly the best of all. Then there is the ivy geranium, Abutilon vex- illarium, double sweet alyssum, money vine, senecio (often called German ivy), lobelias, maurandia, nasturtium, etc. There are two splendid climbing plants, both excellent for this purpose, but sel- dom seen because they are neglected in the winter, in fact, often lost, viz., Ipo- moea Mortonii and Pilogyne suavis. Don't Crowd the Plants. Now, if you are a beginner at the la- borious vase business, remember that you crowd into a space of two feet in diam- eter or less, as many plants as would about properly fill a 6-foot bed. There- fore the soil should be of the best. In addition to manure, use a 6-inch pot of bone flour to every wheelbarrow of soil and be sure to get the soil firmly and compactly down between the balls of the plants. Let each plant be well firmed in its place. You can cover the surface of the soil with green moss. It keeps the soil from washing oflf, prevents some drying out of the soil and when the roots reach it they thrive in it. One thing more. When you start a young man filling these vases, your stock is a,bu!ndant and he wants to make a nice looking job and crowds in your fine geriniums. Now, with these early filled vases there is no need to crowd, for they will soon fill up and be all the better for a little room to spread. JDon't put in more stock than you are paid for, just because it is abundant. Save your plants, for there are lots of belated orders coming along until July 4. Then you would be glad of the plants you so lav- ishly used when they were plentiful, and it is the late filled vases that need crowding, if any. It is a good plan to arrange to water the vases you fill and if you water several hundred at $2 or $2.50 each for the season it does not seem a large charge for the individual, but it will be found a better paying operation than the charge for filling, and you have the opportunity to care for your own work. BEDDING OUT. The time for bedding out has arrived — at least, over the greater part of the country, floriculturally speaking, the time for planting out most of the soft-wooded stock is from May 15 to the early part of June. Earlier than this date there is danger of frost. -Indeed, .so warm was March and the early part of April that a good many people were impatient to get their lawns and window-boxes in shape, and some florists who yielded to their customers' insistence have now to explain why they did so — the cold of late April and early May has ruined whatever tender stock was exposed to it. It is the duty of the florist to sug- gest the most appropriate style of bed- ding to his customers where advice is asked for, and poor policy to crowd in more than is discreet when it is left to his judgment. In residence streets a flower bed on the lawn between the house and the sidewalk is not good taste. At the side or slightl^^ to the rear of the house is much better. Houses of a modr erate size, with verandas at side and front, have often a row or two of eannas in the border surrounding the veranda, and extremely handsome they look, Florists are divided into several classes. The strictly store man has no interest in bedding plants, nor has the wholesale grower more than to dispose of them, but the great majority of the florists of the country raise bedding plants for their sprihg crops and depend upon their sale for a good part of their income. If well and carefully done and a fair and jufit charge made, customers will be un- likely to leave and one can depend on the order from year to year. The profit will largely depend upon the florists' ability to keep a good stock of plants in a comparatively small space till after Easter. From fall till after Easter benches are wanted for successive crops, but Easter sales largely clear them except those planted with roses and car- nations. Geraniums can be then given their last shift, and so can ageratum. feverfew, heliotrope and salvia. Coleus can be grown from a cutting to a fine bedding plant in eight weeks. Cannas and caladiums can be kept in flats till the middle of April and then make fine plants by June 1. Petunias can be pricked out in pans and then in six weeks will make the best of bedding plants.

We never considered that there was much margin of profit in this vase filling business, yet a change in style of late years has been somewhat iu our favor. Ten years ago, with few exceptions, the vases were filled with a mixture of plants, with vines arounil the edge. Often have we counted the plants and found that at wholesale prices they would cost as much as we got for tlie filling, soil, moss and labor thrown in. But remember that in those cases we largely used what we had and so cleaned up on everything, and that makes a wonderful difif'erence. Did you ever think of the difference in the profits of a place where all the stock is in salable shape and the benches emptied and one where one-third or one- Bedding Plants at a Rochester Residence. ^cii wnik i-iIl'ciI « ilh Mine.

They are always in bloom, are neat and compact and do not suft'er from a little neglect of water. They make a bright, gay spot. S. A. Xutt is such an admirable variety for this purpose that it is overdone. The individual owner of a cemetery lot may be (diarmed with his brilliant mass of scarlet blooms, but when there are forty sinular ones within 100 yards, the effect is not pleasant. There should be more pink, white and salmon. Bcjrtte Poite- vine, Mrs. Frances Perkins and John Doyle are all fine for the purpose.

POINSETTIAS, Please advise the proper treatment for poinsettias from this time until market- ing. I have my plants out in flats and they are showing growth. How should these- cuttings be handled? J. W. S. As soon as the cuttings are two and one-half to three inches long, rub them off with a heel; dip them^t^nce in some powdered charcoal to stop the bleeding. Place them in a propagating bench where the sand is rather gritty. Some success- ful growers prefer mixing some fine char- coal in the sand. Keep them well watered and carefully protected from sunshine. In a warm house they will be rooted in three to four weeks. Pot them off singly while the roots are small. If allowed to remain until the roots are several inches long, they are liable to become broken, and the cuttings get hard and fail to start well after potting. Use leaf-mold and loam with some sand at first potting and keep in a close, warm house. Later they can be grown in a cooler house, or even in coldframes, successfully. If you want to grow the plants in benches for cutting, plant out before they get too much potbound. A compost such as suits chrysanthemums answers well. A house which can be kept at 60 to 65 de- grees at night after the bracts show is necessary if you want fine heads. If wanted for pans, later propagation, say from June 10 to July 15, is suffi- ciently early. Any rooted now would be- come much too tall before flowering time. Fine single heads can be grown in 6-inch pots, averaging fifteen to eighteen inches across. For the last shift use a compost of fibrous loam, dry cow manure and sand, adding a little fine bone. Pot firmly and do not feed until the bracts show. Avoid dryness at the root, and sogginess, each of which will cause a loss of foliage. The plants, once established, want full sun all the time. C. W.

I should like to grow a couple of houses of the Butterfly (Spencer) sweet peas next year and should like to get the names and colors that sell best, also the time to plant so they will come in the latter part of April. I intend to plant these two houses so they will come in the middle of October, and two more to come in in January. By replanting the two again, I should be able to ship continu- ously from October to June. J. F. N. The Spencer varieties of sweet peas require a rather longer season under glass to flower than the older type. Sow the seeds early in January and they will not be any too early. Some sown last Christmas started flowering here April 10, being grown in an average night tem- perature of 48 degrees. Sow the seeds in flats and transplant, allowing foUr to flve inches between each plant. This will give much stronger haulm and stems than those allowed to grow more thickly. Some of the most popular colors of Spencer sweet peas are: White Spencer; Countess of Spencer, clear pink; Mrs. Eoutzahn Spencer, delicate pink on apri- cot ground, very charming, a large flow- er; Asta Ohn Spencer, lavender, suffused mauve, a beautiful shade; Primrose Spen- cer, pale primrose. These Spencer sweet peas do well under glass until July 1, if they have a large, airy house. C. W. WINTER FLOWERING PEAS. Let me know as to what kind of soil I must use for the growing of winter- flowering sweet peas. The land I am going to put the houses on has well rotted manure in it, also some nitrate of soda. What is the best food for the peas and what are the best varieties? Also tell me where I can purchase a book on sweet pea cultivation. F. B. If you have good, deep soil which is liberally manured, sweet peas should do well in it. The drainage, of course, should be good. If inclined to hold water on any part, it will require drain- ing, either by tiles, to carry the water outside, or by a good bed of stones or coarse cinders. There is no need for bed or benches. Sweet peas do best grown right in the ground. The rows should be five to six feet apart for best results. They are sometimes seen much closer, but that is a mistake. I would never plant even the shortest growers closer than four or four and one-half feet apart. The houses cannot be too light. Ample height must be provided. The rows are best lengthways of the houses. Well rotted cow or horse manure should be used freely in preparing the soil. Spread it three to four inches thick and get it down to the bottom of. the trenches when spading the ground over. Sheep manure and fine bone are useful as sur- face dressings during the flowering sea- son. Fork the ground after applying. Nitrate of soda I do not approve of,v except for hurrying or toning up a crop. Good winter varieties are now quite numerous. A few popular ones are : Mont Blanc, Watchung, Florence Denzer and Snowbird, white; Mrs. Alexander Wal- lace, lavender; Mrs. William Sim, sal- mon; Christmas Pink or Earliest of All, pink and white.

Will you kindly tell me which will he the best pink, white and lavender, I could use? Should the soil be heavily manured? H. M. Soil for sweet peas must be heavily manured and deeply plowed or spaded, to secure best results. The following va- rieties can be highly recommended for outdoor culture: White, Dorothy Eck- ford; orange-pink, Helen Lewis; blush pink, Mrs. Eoutzahn Spencer; clear pink, Countess of Spencer; lavender, Lady Grisel Hamilton or Frank Dolby. Sweet peas should be sown as soon as possible after frost has left the ground. If sown while the ground is cool and moist, they will make strong roots before the tops appear. If sown when the ground has become warm and dry, they germinate quickly, but the stems are always weak, the plants having few roots to support them. Mulching is of great benefit, as it keeps the roots cooler and more motst. C. W. SWEET PEA PRIZES. The following additional prizes have been offered for the annual exhibition of the National Sweet Pea Society of Amer- ica, to be held in July : F. K. Pierson Co., prize for the best twelve vases of sweet peas; first prize $10, second prize $5; Aphine Mfg. Co., prize for the best col- lection of sweet peas, open to the florists only; first prize $15, second prize $10; Anton Zvolanek, prize for the best ten vases of Spencer and Unwin types, $10; John Young, prize for the best vase of sweet peas never before exhibited, $5. We are expecting additional prizes and the regular schedule is now in course of preparation. The preliminary schedule will be mailed upon application to any- one requiring it. If any concern or individual wishes to offer a prize for the coming exhibition, kindly notify the secretary. The pros- pects are that we shall have not less than 3,000 vases exhibited this summer. Details and particulars will be furnished later. Harry A. Bunyard, Sec'y. CARRIED-OVER CARNATIONS. I have some small White Enchantress carnation plants which I housed late last fall and they bloomed during the winter. Could these be cut back, planted out and housed again this fall? If so, how should they be treated? G. C. H. As a general proposition we do not favor running carnation plants over for a second season, but, as there are excep- tions to all rules, we would not hesitate to do so under certain conditions. When the plants are handled properly, it can be done with success. We have this season a bed of Beacon which was worked for cuttings. After the propa- gating season ended we cut them back quite hard, so that when the new breaks came the plants would be low and bushy. At the present time the prospects for a fine bed of Beacon are good. I would advise you to lose no time in cutting back your plants, so that they will be making new growth before the weather gets too hot. Do not be afraid to cut them back hard. I would say, leave the main branches about four indies long. Clean off all the dead leaves and do not be alarmed if you have only bare stems left when you are through cleaning. Eun the roots a little on the dry side, but not extremely so, until the breaks appear. A light spraying once or twice on bright days will help the eyes to break. When growth is resumed, water more liberally and give a good, heavy mulch of rotted stable manure. Guard against red spider by syringing hard every few days during the summer months. More mulching and feeding will be required than with young stock, plant- ed in new soil, to keep the plants growing and producing good blooms. There is less danger in this method of treatment than there is in transplanting the plants either to the field or to another bench. The critical point is from the time of cutting back to the resumption of new growth. Be careful with the water- ing; if this is overdone the breaks wiU come weak, and if the water is withheld the breaks will be few and the plants straggly. j As I said in the beginning, we do not approve or practice this idea except under stress of circumstances. If we happen to be short of a desirable variety, it is permissible. Plants so treated are apt Mai 19, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review. 25 to be fine in the fall and early winter months, but I hardly think they will hold up as well through the season as young plants will. Another objection is, that it cuts a most profitable six weeks off your Season, which means much to those who have a good demand for their blooms all through June. A. F. J. B. *«^ •■ J. m mmmm WHITE FLY ON GERANIUMS. I send you a sample of some of my flowers that are affected with some dis- ease. My geraniums are nearly all like the leaves I send to you. Scarlet sage and even fuchsias are getting the same way. The little white flies get under the leaves, making them all curl up. Now, what shall I do to get rid of them? I smoke with tobacco stems and use snuff, but it does not take any effect on them. What shall I do to get rid of the flies f G. G. Y. The leaves sent were all badly attacked by white fly, one of the worst pests at- tacking greenhouse plants. Fumigation with tobacco stems, or, in fact, any of the nicotine preparations, is of little avail against this fly. You can keep under control somewhat by syringing with soap, but the only thoroughly effectual remedy is fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas. Use the gas on a cool evening; likelihood of injury to foliage is much less in a low than a high temperature. You will find frequent articles in recent back num- bers of the Review about the use of this gas, and you can thoroughly clean out the pest in no other way. Once you have used this gas and mas- tered any little details regarding it, you will find it not so difficult to use as many think. It is deadly, and must be used with care, but many hundreds of growers now rely on it for controlling insect pests under glass. C. W. BEDDING GERANIUMS. lu the cities of even quite northern states geranium planting is now under way. If -well hardened, a light frost will not harm geraniums. A temporary bronzing of the leaves will soon give way to greener, luxuriant looking foliage. In spite of the advance in the popularity of cannas, there is no bedding plant yet in sight which is a serious rival to the geranium in popularity, and, in spite of a steadily increasing supply each year, there is rarely much of a surplus left. Nearer Memorial day, orders for bed- ding come so thick that it is hard to keep abreast of them. It is, therefore, an advantage to have some early orders filled, if this can be safely and satisfac- torily done before the strenuous bedding season starts. The taste for mixtures of geraniums continues to decline. Blocks or beds of one color are far the most eflrective. Some there are who like to see a bordering of some variegated geranium, bke Mme. Salleroi, around a bed of j^tt, Bicard or Grant, "just to show it off.^ Leave the bordering out and you wiL have a far more effective and pleas- ing bed, but if your customers demand the bordering, of course let them have it. A common error is to manure gera- nium beds too heavily. This induces a soft, rank growth at the expense of flowers. Another mistake is in having the bed raised considerably above the walk or lawn. This may look well, but it is bad for the plants. A level surface pepmits the water to reach the roots bet- ter. In planting, never set out any which have the balls at all dry. We pre- fer to have them well soaked. Press the ground firmly around them. There is then no need to water for some days, even if the weather is dry. Too often this watering is overdone and is a posi- tive detriment to the plants. Night after night the hose is played on beds until the surface bakes like a macadam- ized road. One thorough watering a week, with a good loosening of the soil the following day, will do a lot more good than the persistent pouring of water over the beds. grower and has large clusters of bright red flowers. W. E. G. As near as can be told from specimen received, the variety is Jacquerie, or one nearly akin to it. C. W. NAME OF GERANIUM. Can you tell me tlie name of the en- closed geranium? The plant is a stocky ORNITHOGALUM ARABICUM. Can you give me some information as to the culture of Ornithogalum Arabi- cum? I bought fifty bulbs last fall for blooming in the greenhouse. I treated them as I did the allium — kept them in a dark place, away from frost, for two months and then brought them into the greenhouse, set the pots (deep azalea pots) on the bench and watched them grow. From the fifty bulbs I had just two blossoms. All grew green leaves, but only two bulbs bloomed. I have decided that I need some instructions and shall be grateful if you will inform me on this subject. A. W. W. Ornithogalum Arabicum is a notori- ously uncertain plant, being about as capricious in its liature as any other bulbous plant I know. There are gen- erally supposed to be two varieties in commerce, one free flowering, the other the reverse. Possibly you have got stock of the latter. The proper way to treat bulbs is: Pot as soon as received in the fall. Do not water them or place them in a dark place, as you would alliums and other bulbs, but stand on a shelf in full sun and give the bulbs a good baking. Just as soon as they show signs of growing, begin to apply^water. With this treatment many of the bulbs will flower. Like the nerines, or Guernsey lilies, they must have a thorough baking, or they will not bloom. Some part of the trouble may also arise from premature digging, the bulbs not being properly ripened. C. THE PLANTING SEASON. Disposing of the Old Plants. The plans for planting should be com- plete by this time and everything in readiness for work, as general planting can be started after Memorial, day. In order to make as much out of the old plants as possible, it is well to adver- tise them in your home town at a reason- able price, for planting out. These old plants, especially Beauty, Chatenay, Reid, Killarney and Richmond, make excellent bloomers during the summer; As these plants have to be thrown out anyhow, if they can be disposed of at a price that will pay for the work and leave a small SES margin, it is like finding money. Besides, it advertises your place of business, for a rose sale undoubtedly draws a good many people to the establishment that probably would never have come other- wise. Our experience has taught us that June planting is the most profitable, and the planting should be pushed along so that by July 10 every rose shall be planted. After the old soil has been removed from the benches and all repairs have been made, the house should get a thor- ough cleaning, including the washing of the benches, walls and glass, as there is always an accumulation of scum and dirt from the preceding year, which, if not attended to when the house is empty, is difficult to remove after the planting is done, and then a great many times it is put off, and in such cases you can generally see it there the next year. All wooden benches should be washed 26 The Weekly Florists^ Review. May 19, 1010. and should then receive a good coating of hot lime. This, while acting as a preservative to the wood, is a great help in destroying insects. Planting and Future Gire. When filling the benches, the soil should be spread evenly and each lump of any size should be broken up, so that it may settle evenly with the future watering. Particular care is necessary to pre- vent taking wet soil into the house, as soil that is handled in that condition is bound to pack, which greatly impairs its usefulness. At tne time of planting in the benches, it is well to give the soil a sprinkling of bone meal. This is done by simply spreading the meal on the surface, with- out stirring it in, as all the bone the young plants need at that time will fall around them at the time of planting. ■ When planting young stock they should be handled with the same care and inter- est that they have received smce propa- gating time. This should 6e watched closely, for the success of a house de- pends a great deal on this one point. The plants should .^e disturbed as lit- tle as possible when turning them out of the pots, and should be planted firmly, just deep enough to cover the balls and leaving a small depression around the plants to receive water. The plants should be disturbed as lit- as to prevent the formation of mud. Each plant should be watered separately for a week or so, until the roots begin to spread. It is well to syringe Irequently during favorable weather, to encourage leaf development. W. J. Vesey, Jr. $ _^<^^'■^--^?.^<»-r;.^<^V>.^<^^-^'♦^■.'♦^^.^.•'y.-♦)<♦^.<♦^.•'yf^ K^ii-^'li^^'t'^^.^i-'.^m.-i .-»)-^^»)-^^r»)-^Jr»)-v=^.-»>--yr#^-fef»)|tf: SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS \'<0^.'^. : .'^ •, ...^ •, . .^•, ;\'^'r^.:i>^ Gardenias. We like to plant our new stock of gar- denias in the benches early in June. They. are now nicely rooted in 3-inch pots and it may be necessary to give them a shift into 4-inch pots, rather than allow them to become potbound. Some growers think it pays to carry over old plants. Some- times these can be pruned back and break nicely. The trouble, however, is that collar rot is liable to attack them. No matter how carefully they are looked after, once this appears the plants are useless. Eather than run any risk of this kind, it is better to plant afresh each summer. Much of the success of gar- denia culture lies in having the compost sufficiently porous so that water passes readily through it. In fine soil which holds moisture long, the plants will inevi- tably fall a prey to the yellows. Good fibrous loam two-thirds, and the other third dried, rather lumpy cow ma- nure, broken charcoal and coarse sand makes an excellent compost. A few shovels of soot, mixed through the pile before housing it, will assist materially in keeping the foliage a dark, lustrous green color. Do not use over five inches of soil; four inches is better than six. Allow the plants eighteen to twenty inches be- tween the rows and set them fifteen to eighteen inches apart. Do not soak the whole bed when watering them; merely water around each plant and never satur- rate the beds, even in the hottest, most drying weather. Benches with some heat- ing pipes below them are best when flow- ers in winter arc wanted, and the house they are grown in should be piped to maintain a minimum of 68 to 70 degrees in the most severe weather. Bedding Out. The weather has been so unseasonably cool during May that it has militated against the sale of tender bedding plants. It is always a great advantage to the average country florist if orders come along in good season and climatic condi- tions permit of at least a fair propor- tion of the bedding-out being done before Memorial day. The cut flower business in itself taxes one's energies at that season. A great many customers want their flower beds filled at home and vases or small grave lots filled in the cemetery and every effort should be made to get this work done. It will probably mean long hours for all hands, but then Me- morial day comes but once a year and we can stand it. ** Geraniums remain tlie most popular of all bedding plants, and if well hardened will not suffer any harm from even a light frost. One variety to a bed is the most effective way to use them. A band of Mme. Salleroi around Jean Viaud or Jacquerie does not add to its beauty and it is the same in vases. One filled, say, with S. A. Nutt wants no variegated vinca to ' ' set i^ off, ' ' to .use a hackneyed phrase. If a drooping plant is used, let it be one with green foliage. Except in the warmer states, it is too early to risk alternantheras, acalyphas, crotons, coleus and similar tender foliage plants outdoors, but geraniums, verbenas, begonias, lobelias, ageratums and other varieties can go out with safety. Cannas are rather more delicate. Dahlias, or at least green ones from cuttings, should be kept under cover a little longer. Helio- tropes and scarlet salvias are both tender. On the other hand, such annuals as stocks, asters, Drummond's phlox and dianthus can go out any time now. Excepting geraniums, which flower best when the soil is not too rich, other bedding plants like plenty of well rotted manure incor- porated in the beds. Vases and Window Boxes. Rich soil should always be used in vases and window boxes. As the plants have but a moderate root run. they soon ramify through it and, unless it has been well enriched, they will show speedy signs of starvation. The use of window boxes shows a surprising increase and many of the retailers in the cities find thi.s no unimportant part of their busi- ness. As an advertisement keep one or two filled outside the store to show would- be customers how boxes look if properly planted. As a general rule, 'it is best to fill these boxes at home, unless they are large and heavy. There are some custom- ers who want their boxes refilled from time to time. When this is the case a number of plants which are not perpetual bloomers are permissible and at this time an arrangement of marguerites, fuchsias^ hydrangeas, show pelargoniums and Cal- ceolaria Golden Gem, with suitable droop- ing plants,, like Lobelia gracilis, vinca, ivy geranium or tradescantia, can be used. ■ Ivy geraniums make a beautiful box in themselves and are not nearly enough ap- preciated. For piazza boxes greater depth and height is possible than is tlie case with window boxes; six to eight inches deep for the latter is about the limit, but on piazzas this may well be increased to ten or twelve inches deep and proportionate width to allow of the use of some of the hardier palms, crotons, dractenas, ficus, etc., of tolerable size. In shady spot» nephrolepis and other ferns do well. Fan- cy caladiums are excellent later in the season, if they are not too wind-swept. All boxes, if at all possible, should be filled now and kept in a greenhouse until wanted. In using palms. Phoenix rupicola or Carariensis stands sun and wind well. Kentias are not adapted for a sunny lo- cation, neither are latanias. Dracjena Aus- tralis and D. congesta are good green plants for centerpieces and will stand suik or shade equally well. Memorial Day Crops. More flowers are sold at Memorial day than any other holiday in the year and the uncertain weather conditions have feept growers guessing as to what flowers will be in season. It looks at thLs time asi though indoor flowers would be par- ticularly valuable and every effort should be made to have as large a cut as possible ready. About every florist has a host of orders for bouquets to fill and a large variety of flowers can be used for thift purpose. Crops of ten weeks ' stocks, double feverfews, snapdragons, gladioli, larkspurs, candytuft, Spira-a Japonica and lilies want careful watching. If rather late, give them more heat ; if early, retard as much as possible. Gladioli, lilies, callas and a few other flowers will keep some time in the cut flower room. Every- thing with bright flowers is in great re- quest, so that any late tulips which can be cut and kept fresh will net good prices. While we disapprove of the wholesale pickling of supplies, there are a number of flowers which it will pay every florist to cut and hold on hand for ^Icniorial day. Cyclamens. In the rush of other duties do not over- look cyclamens. A little scratching over of the surface soil, removal of weeds and occasional spreading out will be all that is necessary until the plants are ready for larger .sized pots, which should be five inches in diameter. A night reading of 52 to 55 degrees, shade during the warm- est part of the day, a spraying with some nicotine extract once in ten days and careful watering will help to build up nice, stocky plants. Avoid using any heavy shade, as it only causes a spin- dling growth. When time permits, pre- pare some compost to use when the plants are ready for larger pots. Sterilization of the soil will help to ward off attacks of mite, and also accounts for all insects and larva; contained therein. r.Ax 19, 1010. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 27 Electrics Decorated by C. A . Samuelson, for the Chicago A utomobile Parade. Brief Reminders. Chrysantliemuins should be potted on if benches are not ready. They speedily spoil if left to mat in the pots and once they become hard are of little value. Water spring planted evergreens if weather continues cool and dry. Keep a good mulch around the roots. Put in poinsettia cuttings before they get too long. They are preferable if taken off -with a heel. Provide shade for gloxinias and tuber- ous begonias, to prevent scorching of the foliage. Do any pruning to lilacs while they are in flower. A good plan is to head back the long, strong center shoots. Spray hardy roses with hellebore water, or use the poison blown through a powder bellows while the foliage is damp. Get the spraying pumps in readiness to fight the elm tree beetle and other in- jurious pests. Arsenate of lead can be recommended as a sovereign remedy. Jot down the names of some desirable late tulips and plan to grow a few at least another season. Palms should be hosed well at least once a day. Use the spray nozzle. It helps to keep the foliage clean. Keep a sharp look-out for cutworms and use poisoned mash directly after any signs of their attacks are visible. Do not forget to pot along the little seedlings of Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri. Give them a moderately. warm house and some shade for a time. In selling geraniums and other bedding stock, be sure not to forget to save suffi- ci«nt stock for yourself and do not keep all the weakest plants, although the temp- tation to do so is often strong. DECORATING AUTOMOBILES. The decoration of automobiles for pa- rades promises to become an important part of the business. But one fact should be recognized at the outset: If the own- er of the automobile is not prepared to spend a fair sum, it is just as well to let the job go to the fellow down tlie street ; those who have tried decorating automobiles with greenhouse flowers have found that considerable outlay is required to make a showing that anybody con- cerned will consider creditable.

OStontoglossums are the most difficult of all orchids to grow in the United States. Coming, as they do, from loca- tions where a maximum of 65 degrees is rarely exceeded, it is telling on^thein when we get hot waves, with tempera- tures of 90 to 95 degrees in the shade for several successive days. Yet, while these most beautiful of all orchids are hard to succeed with, more growers are handling them successfully than ten years ago. An old error was to give them a low winter temperature of 45 degrees in a north house, whereas 10 degrees higher in a sunny house, which will give the leaves a ruddy hue, hardens them, makes them flower better and earlier and puts them in a vastly better condition for standing our torrid summers than the dark-green-leaved plants grown in shady houses. Some day, when an inexpensive system of artificial refrigeration for greenhouses is possible, we may grow good odontoglossums, such as abound in Europe. Until then we must be satis- fied with rather mediocre ones. Before the arrival of hot nights, move the odontoglossums into a north house. If sunken below the ground level, it will be much cooler. As the flo\^ring season is now nearly over, many can be re- potted. Use pots about half filled with crocks, mix a little sphagnum in chopped fern fiber for compost, and put a little of the moss .on the surface if you are sure it will not bring a crop of shell snails, which will later devastate the flower spikes as they appear. After re- potting, the plants will need little water other than sprayings overliead until roots and growths are being freely produced. Allow the plants to have some early morning sun, and during the latter part of the afternoon, and air freely at night. Such varieties as O. citrosmum and O. pulchellum majus succeed well at the warm end of the cattleya house. The former is now flowering and succeeds best in pans suspended from the roof. For summer, shading lath or cloth blinds suspended a foot above the glass are better than putting whitening on the glass, as they keep the house much colder. Summer Cattleyas. Summer cattleyas are now making a gorgeous show and they are of such easy culture that no commercial grower with even a small place need be afraid to try his hand at one or the other of them. C. Mossia; is now in its glory and is of easy culture. Keep the plants drier at the root and cooler while in flower. In the case of buying new stock, never buy established plants unless obliged to. The specialists, of course, cull out all the choice forms as they bloom and ask fancy prices for them. In getting a case, it is not at all unlikely that a white-sepaled and petaled one will much more than pay for the original outlay. Cattleya Skinneri is a useful summer variety of a color much like the autumn flowering C. Bowringeana. It succeeds well at the coldest end of the house, where a winter minimum of 55 degrees is maintained. C. Mendellii is a beautiful summer orchid. The sepals and petals are usually nearly pure white. It is more expensive than Mossiae, hence is less grown for the markets. It likes the warmest end of the house, with C. TriansB, when growing. A few C. gigas are al- ready open. This is the largest and most showy of all cattleyas. The flowers lack the substance of other sorts named and must be well shaded to prevent burning. C. gigas likes more heat than some cat- tleyas and enjoys being up close to the glass. Many importations of cattleyas have lately come to hand and will soon arrive. On arrival, sponge the plants carefully. Cut out any decayed bulbs. Stand them on a bench, or, better still, hang them below a center bench until they start to break. Pots or pans are better than baskets. The roots are in more perfect control in them. The old idea about these plants having aeriel roots and feed- ing on the air is utter nonsense. Keep them inside the pots if you want healthy plants. Pure osmunda fiber is the only potting medium needed. Water not at all for a starter, but give fine sprayings each afternoon. As roots appear and pseudo-bulbs advance, water a little, but better give too little rather than an over- supply. If we could all use movable shades on our cattleya houses, as in Europe, we would get better results, but it is too laborious where large collections are grown. The next best thing is kero- sene or naphtha and white lead. We sometimes wish, when we get day after day of dark weather, that it was not there, but this is better than trying any colored shadings, which may be all right on palm or fern houses, but are out of place over orchids. It should be possible to leave some air on cattleya houses all the time now, and the night temperature may vary from 62 to 65 degrees, although on hot nights it will exceed that. Wa- tering after June 1 we like to do in the afternoon, and a spraying on bright aft- ernoons is refreshing. ONCINNATL The Market New Bedford, Mass. — John H. Cleary, employed by Wm. P. Peirce, the Market street florist, was recently an important witness in the trial of one of the county officials for malfeasance in office. The general condition of the market is about the same as at the last writing. The large supply of stock of all kinds meets with a fair demand and moves at fair prices. The quality of the blooms is noticeably better. The supply of roses is still large and of the finest quality. They move readily, but only at fair prices. The white varieties are especially in request. The supply of carnations was large, and the call for them took them up slow- ly. In spite of this, the prices were scarcely shaded at all. There was just enough white to meet the demand. Sweet peas are taken up by the buyers as rapidly as they are offered. Valley is a little scarce, but apparently enough is on hand to meet the demand. Gladioli and new stock in cornflowers and delphin- iums sell well. Good lilies are offered. There is enough of green goods, such as ferns, leucothoe, smilax, plumosus and Sprengeri, to meet all demands. Various Notes. Weiland & dinger are installing a new battery of self-feeding boilers at their greenhouses at New Castle. They have already received many inquiries and some large orders for flowers for Decoration day. J. A. Peterson's field of Iris pallida Dalmatica is in full bloom. The flowers are a beautiful shade of lavender. Mr. Greensmith, the horticulturist for the local parks, pronounces it one of the finest sights he ever saw., C. E. Critchell, while out of town for a few days last week, arranged for large shipments of stock for Decoration day. Large quantities of jasmines are arriving at Ms place. He has added labels to his stock of supplies. The Heckman Floral Co. and B. D. Buttle, of Madison avenue, Covington, supplied many flowers when the new assistant postmaster of their city took his office. William Murphy reports a large ship- ping trade. His sweet peas and white carnations are good and are selling well. Tom Windram is sending good carna- tions, and Honaker, of Lexington, Ky., excellent roses and carnations to J. M. McCullough's Sons. A large shipment of magnolia leaves arrived at E. G. Gillett's this week. Clar- ence Ohmer's plumosus from West Palm Beach, Fla., is fine. Mr. Gillett has his force of wire workers hustling to keep ahead of orders for wire baskets. L. H. Kyrk offers cornflowers that fill the bill nicely for a small blue flower. These and the delphiniums are from George Klatter, of Price Hill. Mr. Kyrk also has some gool longiflorum. Wm. Speck is sending fine Harrisii to Critchell 's. Wm. Gardner took a hurried run down from New Castle last Saturday evening. He returned the following evening. Alex. Ostendarp has the sincere sympa- thy of the trade. His baby son died last week. Eddie Bossmeyer, at Critchell 's, ia again on the sick list. W. Giles, representing Hummel & Down- ing, of Milwaukee, Wis., showed his sam- ples to the trade the early part of last week. Messrs. Goldman, of Middleton, and Lodder, of Hamilton, were in town re- cently. C. H. H. Mat 19. 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review* 29 BOSTON CLUB MEETIiNfG. Orchid night, May 17, attracted an ex- cellent attendance for a busy season of the year, about 125 members being pres- ent. E. O, Orpet, South Lancaster, Mass., was the speaker of the evening and gave an interesting and exhaustive talk on "Orchid Culture." He said pans or pots are preferable to baskets as recep- tacles and osmunda fern fiber is the best compost. Moss is better left out, on ac- count of its bringing in so many snails, although some species like a surfacing of it. A too common practice is to give plants an excessive night temperature when growth is being made. This is harmful. Mr. Orpet considered a carna- tion temperature, 52 to 55 degrees at night, all right for many cattleyas and Iselias. Plenty of sunshine should be given, as the plants get an abundance of it in their native habitats. EoUer or other movable shades are the best; shading on the glass does not give needed light in dark, cloudy weather. He said there is such a thing as too much drying off. The cattleya family, the most popular in America, have no long resting period; seedlings want even less rest than the woodland species, as they usually make two growths per year and are continuously growing. Potting of all orchids should be done in the resting period, which is usually during the winter or earlier spring months. In raising seedlings some are fine and dozens of little value. Hybrids, however, possess sturdy constitutions. In the hot months watering should be done in the evening; in the winter months, in the morning to allow of proper drying out before nightfall. There has of late years been a wonderful development in orchid culture in America, which Bos- ton's big coming show will undoubtedly greatly stimulate. A good discussion followed the reading of the paper, participated in by Messrs. Butterworth, Cameron, Craig, Palmer, Finlayson and George Stewart. The cat- tleya fly came in for considerable notice. Cutting out of the young growths was ad- milted to be the only remedy, although it is a radical one. Some discussion arose over the annual picnic. An exchange of views showed that some favored a change from previous years' programs, an ocean sail being fa- vored, to some prominent shore resort. The date and place were, however, not de- cided upon. The question of the S. A. F. national show came up, and a special committee was appointed to consider plans for entertainment and report later. The committee consists of Thomas Pegler, J. P. A. Guerineau, Peter Fisher, Wm. Downs and Robert Cameron. One new member was elected. Exhibits included superb snapdragons from Wm. Sim, fine Golden Glow mums from W. W. Edgar Co., a collection of troUiuses from J. 'Heurlin, and pink calceolarias from Wm. Downs, which lat- ter received a report of merit. A field day at Wm. Sim's June 4 was decided upon. It was announced that for the June meeting ladies will be invited and a musical and literary entertainment fur- nished. Refreshments were served as usual. Clakksburq, W. Va. — C. C. Jarvis, N. J. Hayman and C. H. Griffin have incor- porated, with $25,000 capital, to do a greenhouse business. .•-■sV^Vi'-C ■;»■*■• , ... ** By the Sad Sea Waves." (Mi-8. Leonard Kill and daughter, formerly of Chicaefo, on the shore of the Pacific.) DETROIT. The Market. The last week was a busy one for every- one concerned. In the greenhouses things were not quite as lively as they would have been had we been favored with weather more favorable for outdoor planting. We experienced several severe frosts lately, which did some damage. From now until after May 30 those flo- rists doing outside gardening will be worked to the limit. In the stores business has been good. The daily arrival at the commission houses of good stock of every descrip- tion has been large; still the demand, with but few exceptions, was equal to the supply. Large openings of new stores, ^heaters and several large boat launchings have created a demand for flowers for some time, which means just that much extra business to the florists favored with the orders. The store openings, especially, call for many baskets, horseshoes and big bunches of Beauties. Only in recent years has the practice of sending flow- ers to the openings become so popular, thanks to those florists who encourage the practice. Club Meeting. Besides a large attendance of regular members, there were in attendance, also, a number of engineers of this city, to hear Dr. J. R. Price and W. J. Hubel, of Chicago, and others, talk on the com- bustion system of heating. This sys- tem is the invention of Francis J. Doyle, of Chicago. Dr. Price went into a lengthy talk on principles of combustion. He had heated an 8-room flat with $18 worth of coal all winter, and with no smoke. W. J. Hubel spoke of the business end of the Doylair device, stating many in- stances where the cost of heating was cut nearly in half. All soot and clinkers were done away with, as there is perfect com- bustion in the Doylair system. Mayor Breitmeyer said that if this de- vice would do what is claimed for it, he would see that an ordinance was passed making it necessary to use it. Various Notes. J. Breitmeyer 's Sons are to have a branch store on Woodward avenue and Grand river. This will be in connection with the McDermiad Candy Co. Taepke's spent a busy Sunday, May 15, decorating Brushaler's new store for the opening. Thomas Gowanlock was seriously in- jured by his wagon being hit by a car while he was delivering plants to Gus. Knoch. The horse had to be shot. An auto belonging to Mr. Knoch was dam- aged by skidding on wet asphalt and hit- ting a fire alarm pole. The occupants were not hurt. H. S. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. The American Rose Society has com- missioned the Rev. Dr. Spencer S. Sulli- ger, of Vancouver, Wash., an amateur rosarian of repute and one of the Pacmc coast members of several years' standing, as representative to the annual rose show in England. Dr. Sulliger leaves New York this month for Great Britain. Richard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md., takes a letter to the international liorticultural meeting at Belgium, which he is going to attend. These gentlemen will report back to the society, and the report will form a part of its annual pro- ceedings. John F. Huss, of Hartford, Conn., one of our prominent members, goes to France and Switzerland, and this trip also is in the interest of roses. The society has closed up its premium list as awarded at the spring show, with one exception. The membership of paid dues exceeeds the number received as reg- ular members at any previous time. An inquiry has been received from one of the government departments, as to the value and volume of roses used com- mercially in the United States, and in- quiries forwarded to the various distrib- uting centers have brought responses which indicate that probably one- fourth the value of all flowers grown under glass is in roses. The observa- tions made in travel indicate that the rambler roses are becoming more and more popular, all of which shows that with the growth of the country, the nice things are also coming in for large de- velopment. The oflicers of the society wish to thank the many donors of special prizes lor the prompt response and payment of their respective premiums. Benj. Hammond, Sec'y, Milton, Mass.— C. F.

When the mum and the aster were in season together it was considered a mar- vel, but now the mum and the peony stand side by side in flower stores! Good Golden Glow are seen. The comet has got past at last. If it is in any way responsible for the weather conditions of the last few months, nearly everyone will be glad it appears only once in seventy-five years. ' ' Ten months of the year it is not a question of supply, but of one's ability to find an outlet for the stock." The speaker was one of the leading commis- sion-men of the country and his words support the Review 's statement that mer- chandizing ability is now one of the essentials for success in this trade. At Ida Grove, la., a minister, im- pressed by the general observance of Mothers' day, designated May 15 as Fathers' day, and asked each member of his congregation to wear the flower that person thought best suited to the day. Communication with Ida Grove being somewhat slow, a waiting world has not yet heard how Father stands in that com- munity. EXPRESS RATES. The uprising against the rates charged by the express companies has, all at once, become general. From all parts of the country, and from many business or- ganizations, is coming the demand for a thorough investigation of the subject by the government, either through the In- terstate Commerce Commission or a com- mittee of Congress. At both New York and Chicago meetings have been held at which numbers of commercial bodies have joined in resolutions voicing the consensus of opinion that conditions de- mand an investigation of the present sys- tem of charges. The New York meeting last week not only went on record in strong language, but provided a com- mittee with funds to push along the work with the Interstate Commerce Com- mission. A day or two later a Chicago congressman introduced a resolution in Congress calling for an investigation of express companies, their capitalization and their charges, lay a committee of the House of Representatives. The S. A. F. has pointed with pride to the work accomplished when the gen- eral special rate was obtained for plant shipments. If general revision of rates becomes a fact as the result of the agi- tation now in progress, the S. A. F. will have an opportunity not only to defend what it once obtained, but to look after the interests of cut flower shippers, for it is almost certain that without adequate representation for cut flower interests, the companies will seek to maintain pres- ent rates on the plea that special service is given on all such shipments. WARNING! Don't Pay Money to Strangers. A\ithin the last few days the Review lias received several complaints from east- ern Pennsylvania that "a smooth-talking young fellow" has been falsely repre- senting himself as working for the Re- view and soliciting new subscriptions or renewals in its name. If a receipt is given it never is on printed blanks, some-, times bears no name or address, but in one case was signed ' ' H. Hunter. ' ' Don't be duped by this petty swindler. If ' ' II. Hunter ' ' shows up, call the po- lice and wire the Review. Never pay money to strangers, for the Kkvieav or on any other account. Re- vjKW representatives all are well known members of the trade in their respective localities. A POWDER PASTE. Do you know the name of a firm in New Jersey that makes a paste put up in a powder form called "Paste Substi- tute"? We have used it and it is the finest thing for putting the label on cut flower boxes we have ever seen, but un- fortunately we have lost the address. I think it was made by some milling con- cern as a by-product, either in Newark or Paterson. If you can help us find the name of this concern we shall greatly appreciate it. C. F. C. Who knows the name and address? The Review will be glad to have some- one supply the desired information. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. The market has enjoyed another week of excellent business. The special de- mand for Mothers' day cleaned up every- thing so closely that it gave tone to the market for several days after. In addi- tion, also, the spring months often show considerably greater activity on Tues- days and Wednesdays than is the case at other seasons of the year. This is accounted for by the special call for flowers for weddings and commencements, Avhich ordinarily are held not later than Thurs(Jay8. Friday, Saturday and Mon- day ordinarily are the best days of the week in this market, so that everyone has been happy for a fortnight or more. Now interest is centering on Decoration day. One of the reasons that business has been so satisfactory is that there has been neither shortage nor oversupply of stock; the daily receipts have been just about equal to requirements, prices ad- vancing slightly, but at no time exceed- ing the rates at which stock will move freely. Fair supplies and fair prices re- sult in more money than can be gath- ered in from the high prices that go only with short supplies, or the large cuts which sometimes glut the market. The quality of all the stock in the market continues extremely good for so late in the season. Beauties have much larger heads and better color than one expects to see the latter part of May. Killarney is in good form and yielding well with most growers. Richmond is fine, both in color and stem. White Kil- larney is compelled to compete with first- class * Kaiserin, now available in consid- erable quantity. Maid and Bride are good, but these roses now are second choices.

It also shows reproductions of letters from successful florists who have used McCray Refrigerators for many years. The distinctive thing about these refriger- ators is that the ice capacity is scientifically determined, so that just the right temperature is maintained. The McCray System saves money, because it saves ice and saves flowers and besides this brings in new trade on account of its attractive appearance.

Eeid and Cardinal are seen, occasionally a few fin© Perle. All roses are selling well and all except Beauties at slightly better prices than earlier in the month. Short and medium Beauties hold stiff, but prices are shaded on long Beauties if the buyer takes a quantity and does not require too close selection. Carnations have enjoyed an excellent demand ever since Mothers' day, and prices at the beginning of this week were higher than at the close of last week. Average returns to growers for last week will not be so good as the Mothers f day week, because whites have been bringing only a little more than pink. Fancy white and red are the best sellers. As the week has progressed, prices have receded somewhat. Sweet peas are more abundant; the cut of the Butterfly varieties is on the increase, while there still are fair pick- ings of the winter bloomers, though these are mostly short in stem. The Butterfly sorts sell briskly at good prices and are extremely nice, clean stock. Peonies have come in heavily and are selling better than heretofore, though most of the stock has gone into storage. As usual, there are good, bad and indif- ferent peonies, but not much evidence of frost injury* Easter lilies have become abundant, several local growers now being in with crops. Callas are slightly less plentiful. Cape jasmines have come on to take the place of the waning bulb stock. Quite a little double narcissus is seen. Minia- ture gladioli are abundant. Iris is less plentiful. At the end of the week there frequently is an accumulation of valley, which sells well the days wedding flowers are wanted, Cattleyas continue plentiful. The once popular stephanotis now is one of the dead issues — ^it won't sell. There is little change in the green goods market. Leueothoe is pretty near- ly out; the stock in cold storage houses has damped off. Mexican ivy also is gone.

HUNT, 76-78 Wabash Ave., Chicago Decoration Day Prospects. The way inquiries and advance orders are coming in leads the wholesale market to look for the largest Decoration day business on record; indeed, Decoration day business has grown so rapidly the. last few years that some oj. the whole- salers expect to exceed Easter in quantity of stock handled and to equal it in money value of sales. That will be "go- ing some." It is interesting to note that the orders already booked are largely for carnations. No doubt 250,000 already are booked at prices that will average $40 per thousand for good stock. The tendency now is to push the price up a notch. The consensus of opinion iS that the supply will not be so large as last year, though the quality will be better. The general report is that rose crops are on the increase and that supplies will be large and fine. There will be a large quantity of peo- nies, southern crops held in cold storage. There is some difference of opinion among the large operators as to what the market will be. One house has seen fit to book a large number of orders at a low price, while another oper- Max 19, 1910.

Most of the wholesalers report few advance orders for peonies, but at the outside prices peonies still make more show for the money than most other flowers and a big business is regarded as certain, es- pecially as other outdoor stock is practi- cally out of the running this year. A large supply of Easter lilies is a factor to be reckoned with. Growers are being urged not to hold back their stock. Decoration day will not stand high prices.

Amling is an exception to the rule in that where most wholesalers look for light supplies of carnations for Dec- oration day, he thinks they will prove to be large. A. L. Randall agrees with him. Kyle & Foerster stated, May 14, that they had then booked more orders for Decoration day than they filled at either Christmas or Easter. Robert Northam says that recent ex- perience at George Reinberg's has shown that if retailers have use for orchids, they will pay a fair price for them; that nothing is gained by cutting prices when the supply is large. He considers 50 cents each a popular price for choice cat- tleyas. C. L. "Washburn says he looks for the comparative shortage of carnations to make a good market for short roses for Decoration day. John Muno, who now grows vege- tables, says this has been a fine season for lettuce; up to quite recently he has re6eived 35 to 45 cents a case. His son, George, grows carnations and reports the sale for cuttings as surprisingly brisk. There are plenty of good vacant stores inside the loop for any retailer who wants to carry the load imposed by the land- lords. Last week Wietor Bros, planted four of their new houses. Seven more are being glazed. They have made short work of the rebuilding of this range of eleven houses. Vaughan & Sperry say they expect car- nations to be of better quality than last year, but with lighter cuts for Decora- tion day. They look for big business on peonies. A. L. Randall Co. reports the arrival of its first suipment of cape jasmine May 13; $3 per hundred was realized. Kennicott Bros. Oo. reports the quanti- ty of peonies in storage greater than ever at this date. E. E. Pieser says they have been buying buckets for a week and that the arrivals now are heavier than ever. APHINE Is proviDg a most effec- tive, while at the same time absolutely harm- less, insecticide for use on young stock. It destroys the in- sects, and invigorates the plants. Have you tried if? APHINE MANUFACTURING CO. Madison, New Jersej He considers the peony the special flower of Decoration day, just as the lily is of Easter, and is counting on a record-break- ing demani tne last week of this month.

Joe Straus, who has been in the office of the A. L. Eandall Co. for several years, recently went on the road for a few days for the first time. He says he got an entirely new idea of the import- ance of the industry. E. Mayer, formerly at the Reissig place at Riverside, has taken a partner and is building a new place of five houses at Lyons, El. \ John Enders, of Poehlmann's store force, is a member of a Masonic glee club. One night last week he and Mrs. Enders were invited to a five-doUars-a- plate banquet, because of the way Mr. Enders uses his voice. The next auto parade prooably will occur in June, when the weather will be a little less likely to upset plans. Henry Van Gelder reports Myer Hel- ler, of New Castle, Ind., as a visitor May x2. ' At E. H. Hunt's, C. M. Dickinson is a firm believer in the policy of pushing ex- clusive articles; he doesn't enjoy work- ing up business to find that someone else has taken the order away from him by shading the price. In line with this policy, he has built up a list of special- ties on which prices always are main- tained, no matter how many are selling. The latest addition to the list is an elas- tic glazing putty. The daily papers this week have chron- icled the recording of the transfer of the James A. Hart property on Beacon street to Poehlmann Bros. Co. It is stated that it is to be occupied by John Poehlmann, president of the company. The residence is a handsome one and the ground is 100x191. The deed was dated April 21 and gives the consideration as $18,000. Mr. Hart, the former owner, was once widely known as president of the Chicago National League baseball club. J. A, Budlong has only 3,000 plants of the Mrs. Jardine rose, but is cutting 400 flowers a day. They sell at just a little better prices than any other rose in their list. Zech & Mann say that shipping busi- ness is excellent — something doing all day long. Mr. Zech thinks the quality of stock is better now than he ever before has seen at the middle of May. Although many growers have discarded it, Peter Reinberg finds Rose-pink En- chantress one of his most profitable sorts. It always is a big producer in spring and, this year at least, is coming in just when wanted. Frank Benthey says the house at New Castle, crushed by snow, has been re- built and is now filled with stock for the local retail trade there, which Otto Benthey is making quite profitable.

Dearborn street, where an old building is to be torn down, and is handling a large quantity of stock there. Hoerber Bros, have not yet reached water with the well they are putting down at their plant at Des Plaines. The hole is now more than 600 feet deep, it costs $2.50 a foot. Such a well pre- sents an interesting problem. Over $1,- 500 already are invested; to stop is to lose the money, while to go on may re- sult in water being reached any day, or it may be simply putting good money with bad. Hoerber Bros, say they have set the mark at 1,000 feet before they turn to other sources of water supply. L. H. Winterson reports bedding plants now going well at Winterson 's Seed Store. Weiland & Riseh say the part of their plant not already in training for next season is in much heavier crop than it was in May last year. C. W.

Amling, eldest son of Albert F. Amling, is building on his father's farm two houses, each 27x250 feet, to be planted exclusively to American Beauties, the special favorites of the young man. The place will be heated by steam, with a Hippard trap to re- turn the condensation. Everything will be modern and up-to-date. Walter Burhop, a nephew of Henry Wehrman, of this city, bought an acre of ground from Albert F. Amling, and is building one house, 27x200 feet, to be heated by steam. It will be planted to chrysanthemimis and sweet peas. He is also erecting a fine residence. Another young grower, by the name of Ernst Weiss, who was with the Albert F. Amling Co. for a number of years, is negotiating for the purchase of a number of acres from A. F. Amling, on which he will locate a greenhouse es- tablishment by next fall. William H. Amling, in addition to building a house 29x350 feet, to be plant- ed to sweet peas and mums, is remodel- ing his boiler house and changing from hot water to steam heat. A new boiler, sixty-six inches by eighteen feet, is now being installed in the new boiler room, which is 18x85 feet. A new chimney, now under construction, will be sixty feet in height and four feet in inside diameter. Two acres of ground were recently purchased, adjoining the pres- ent place, at $500 per acre. On the bor- der of this new property a nephew of the Amlings, Paul E. Weiss, of Milwau- kee, has bought two acres, with the in- tention of building a number of green- houses in the near future. Mr. Weiss is a board of trade man in Milwaukee, with the firm of L. Bartlett & Son Co., grain dealers. At the establishment of the A. F. Amling Co., the six new houses are near- ing completion, and it is expected that they will all be planted during May, with Beauties and White Killameys. A large reservoir, 25x130 and eight feet deep, is nearly completed, and into it will drain all the water from the roofs of the Mat 19, 1910.

CoNCOED Junction, Mass. — The work on the new greenhouse of Leonard Cous- ins, Jr., is going forward rapidly. It is of the truss frame type, designed by the King Construction Co. With the new addition, this establishment will be rated with the big fellows in carnation grow- ing. Pansies are one of the main crops here, and a successful season is reported. A fine lot of bedding stock in the way of geraniums, salvia, dracsenas, etc., will be just right for Memorial day trade. NEW YORK. The Market. We have had another week of chilly and unseasonable weather. Boses were abundant Monday. The sun was shin- ing; it was warmer, but there was noth- ing special to lift the market. Prices will, therefore, remain on the even keel of the last week. There will not be much stirring of the waters before Deco- ration day. That promises to be unusu- ally lively and great preparations are being made for the demand in bedding plants and blooming stock of every sea- sonable kind. No roses are selling now at their true value. It is a shame to have to sacrifice such splendid stock as is now arriving. There is no outlet equal to that of last week, when the big official dinners, the fat weddings and the actors ' fair stirred up things quite encouraging- ly. Beauties are away down. Killarneys show no signs of decrease. It is a mystery where they all come from. Eich- monds are in good demand and keep at the top of the procession. Carnations do not get above 2 cents and they have to be wide-awake to com- mand it. Day-old stock goes for a song. There are some gladioli in the market, and a few mums. Peonies are now abund- ant and prices are falling. The red ones are fine and popular. There is a large supply of orchids and most of them go at 50 cents. Valley will not improve until the June weddings begin.

Stumpp & Walter Co. handles the en- tire output of bulbs of Freesia Purity grown by W. Matthews, of Great Neck, L. L, in addition to quantities grown by the originator, Eudolph Fischer, at his place in California, and from other sources. They expect the season's total this year to exceed 200,000 of this va- riety. One of their orders recently placed with a single firm in Holland amounted to over a million bulbs, and everyone will agree that it is "going some." Mr. Stumpp resides at Dumont, N. J., where the company has trial grounds and nur- sery and where he recently was elected mayor of the town. Mr. Walter resides at Newark. He has just returned from his annual European trip. The secretary of the corporation is Mr. Sperling, for years one of the firm's successful sales- men. S. Jacobs & Sons, Brooklyn, report this their most active season to date. The sons constitute a quartette of practical workers who achieve results. David McKenzie, manager for the John Scott enterprise at Flatbush, says every- thing salable is already engaged for Decoration day. He deplores the scarcity of Scottii, which he still finds the most popular of all the nephrolepis family. Anton Schultheis is well prepared for Memonal day and its requirements. All his famous ramblers have been timed carefully and he has a large stock of evergreens, boxwood, hydrangeas, ferns and palms. J. Austin Shaw. WASHINGTON. The Washington Florists' Club held a regular meeting May 10 and discussed plans for an outing in July. The flower show to be given in November also was under discussion. The following com- mittee was appointed on arrangements: W. F. Gude, George Cooke, Elmer C. Mayberry, P. H. Kramer and W. W. Kimmell. The following were proposed for mem- bership in the club and referred to com- mittee: J. G. Schattmaier, Joseph J. Goudy, W. A. Ward and G. Edward Schultz.

The April-like chill of mid-May proved invigorating to the cut flower market. There was a large amount of business on the closing days of last week, princi- pally for the May processions in the churches and for the various forms of adornment, the desire for which comes to everyone in the spring. The present week opened actively, with prospects for a moderate demand. The south has made some calls on the Philadelphia supply for the different Memorial days of the va- rious states that precede the national holiday. The supply of flowers con- tinues heavy. There is no shortage of anything, only the cooler weather has improved the quality so that there are many more fine flowers obtainable now than is usual at this season. I do not wish to be understood to say that the cool weather has had no effect on the quantity of flowers; it certainly has, but it would take a sweeping of the earth by the comet to check production in mid- May to the extent of increasing prices of the general list. Peonies have increased in number. The local supply of officinalis, red, is com- ing in from sheltered positions, while other varieties will be here by the end of this week. Sweet peas are in the transition stage from indoor to outdoor stock. The ma- jority of the indoor flowers now show a sad shortening of stem and lack of luster. In contrast to these the new crop from under glass is superb, while from the south come the forerunners of the outdoor peas. The carnation supply is shortening a little. Really fine stock is in demand, for much of the stock cannot be so classed today. Roses are plentiful, good grades sell- ing rather better than medium or poorer stock, partly perhaps because the best goods sJways come in smaller quantities. Valley is about equal to the demand. It grades well for the season. Easter lilies are selling better. Callas are quite scarce. Cattleyas depend on Mossise. Gardenias are dull. Yellow daisies are in active demand, but white suffer from the competition of their cousins of the field. Pansies are still sought. Adian- tum are selling better. The reports on asparagus differ, but greens generally seem dull. An Incident. When the bright business mind of M. Rice was called upon to solve the ques- tion, "Where shall we find a reliable traveler to add to our corps?" he natur- ally turned to the group of young men who were pressing forward. From this group Robert Shoch was chosen. He had pushed a wheelbarrow well, he had pushed flowers well, he would push supplies well ; that was the reason. But this is not what I began to tell you; it is merely intro- ductory. Robert Shoch is now known all along the eastern seaboard from New England on the north (or should I say "down easf't) to the farthest point south, where the pretty girls care for pretty things, and to the banks of the Ohio, or it may be farther. One day, when calling on a lovely lady that shall be nameless, Mr. Shoch was greeted with this question: "Wasn't Mat 19, 1910.

Happily, Mr. Shoch knew the story; he, too, reads the Review, and though a little startled, he was able to acquit himself creditably and reply it was a very fuimy joke indeed. Now, the curious thing about this in- cident was that the lovely lady should have happened to mention this particular joke to Robert Shoch. It was his pet. Mr. Heacock's Kentias. A brisk walk through the palm range; bench after bench of small and medium sizes; long beds of large sizes, with the growingly popular tubs strongly in evi- dence; the plants in perfect condition, with the deep, lustrous green so clean that merely looking over an occasional leaf that has been missed by the hose is all that is necessary before sending them out — this is what you see at Wyncote. To describe the kentias of the Joseph Heacock Co. would require a gifted pen. It is quite beyond mine. A description, to be adequate, should cearly convey to the reader what the writer sees and wishes to portray. A far abler writer, from the middle west, once wrote a singularly graphic paragraph that I think will an- swer my purpose. The paragraph made a great impression on me on account of its clear, terse language, right to the point, and because it appeared with the name of a man whom I had believed to be in heaven. Probably an able successor to his business, of modest mien, had coined or adopted the phrase. It ran as follows: "Not the largest, nor the old- est; just the best." This phrase aptly describes Mr. Hea- cock 'a kentias. I 've seen larger kentias ; I've seen older kentias; I've never seen better kentias. I doubt whether better kentias are grown to-day.

Everyone seems to want flowers for Sun- day at this season. Berger Bros, are receiving nicely col- ored sweet peas from their father's East Washington Lane greenhouses. A. F. O'Connell has commenced work planting the city squares with showy flowering and foliage plants. There is i\ foolish tradition about the ill luck that comes with Friday falling on the thirteenth, which has been effect- ually disproved in the home of George S. Faulkner, where on that eventful day a son and heir arrived. Eanstead street is a hustling center of business. Last Monday a k.d lost a silver dollar down an area three feet deep. In desperation he was about to wreck the grating which separated him from his property when John Mclntyre came along and said, "See the janitor." Edward Eeid said, "Put dextrine on the end of a stick." This restored the miss- ing coin to its happy owner. George Burton will discard his house of Golden Gate this season, replacing it with American Beauty. (Jate was for- merly grown to advantage during the scarcity of Bride and Maid, but since the arrival of the improved hybrid teas they have become less popular. Arthur Zirkman has been bringing cheer to 1220 Race street, where he re- turned last week from an excellent busi- ness trip. Godfrey Aschmann plans a two months ' trip to Europe in July. He will look after his business interests in Germany and Belgium and take a brief rest at his old home in Switzerland. John F. Erwin Co., Delanco, N.

We continue to get cool weather, ab- normally so for the middle of May, and business is holding up nicely. Carna- tions are in much reduced supply. It is suspected that the annual holding back for Memorial day is already under way. Prices rule stronger than a week ago, and all good flowers are quickly snapped up. Flowers of the pink varieties are holding good, thanks to the cool weather. Boses are not selling as well as carna- tions. Bride and Maid are hard to move at any price. Few of these wiU be seen here another season. Killarney sells well, also White Killarney. Carnot, while not seen in large numbers, is popular. Beau- ties are in good supply. Mrs. Aaron Ward continues to make a name for itself, and the better class stores handle quite a few Bon Silene and Safrano. Red roses will be in big demand next week; of late they have not sold specially well. Sweet peas sell well, those of the Spencer type making the highest prices. Darwin and other late tulips are plen- tiful. They are much better for cutting than the early ones, having such long stems. Narcissi, except poeticus, is prac- tically done.

Some good outdoor valley is now in and is vastly superior to the bulk of the forced article. Cut lilac is abundant and meets with a fair sale. Cattleyas are in good supply, but move better than in any previous year. Gardenias are good and sell quite well. Yellow marguerites are in rather short supply; white are more plentiful. Asparagus Sprengeri is more abundant. A. plumosus remains about the same. Adiantum is much better in quality. Con- tinued cool weather has not been encour- aging for trade in tender bedding plants, and while growers are satisfied with sales, a warmer spell would give it a decided fillip. Hydrangeas, rambler roses and geraniums are in demand for Memorial day and everyone is anticipating the heaviest sales on record. The Great Orchid Exhibition. There is a good entry in every class for the big orchid show, which opens May 26 at Horticultural hall. There will be a battle royal in the blue ribbon class, where the first prize is !^1,000 and a gold medal, and some artistic groups will be put up. From all parts of the country visitors are coming, and these are by no means confined to orchid fanciers. The show will undoubtedly prove the leading horticultural feature in 1910 in America. The flooring of the main e.xhibition hall has been removed and the winding walks will be of gravel and crushed stone. Some beds will contain large specimen plants other than orchids. These will be plunged and the surface sodded over. It has been decided to allow the judges a free hand the opening day, so that all awards can be made and prize cards at- tached before the opening, which will not be until 8 p. m. On the first evening a great outpouring of society is ex- pected; admission, $3. On the second and third days $1 admission will be charged, and 50 cents on the last days. Complimentary tickets will not be goo(l until the third day. A superb orchestra will furnish music each afternoon from 3 o 'clock to 5 o 'clock and in thb evenings from 7:30 to 9:30.

Briscoe, William McAlpine, Sam Beck and Fred Solari. A challenge has been sent to W. H. Elliott 's team at Madbury, N. H., and a match is expected in a few days. George E. Buxton, of Nashua, N. H., is one of the growers who never seems to send anything poor to the market, prob- ably because he has forgotten how to grow inferior stock. Certainly his carnations are still equal to midwinter quality, as handled at Thomas Pegler's stand. He is also sending in a fine lot of double feverfews, a flower always salable around Memorial day. William Sim, in addition to sweet peas, has at present a lot of beautiful pink antirrhinum, which meets with a ready sale. Mr. Sim will have a grand lot of Spencer sweet peas in his big, new 500- foot house for Memorial day. His nu- merous houses of tomatoes are also mak- ing fine headway. Edward Winkler, of Wakefield, was one of the first to bring in a variety of the hooded or Spencer sweet peas to the market, and will have a fine lot for Memorial day. B. Caplin, the popular Massachusetts avenue florist, was married May 9 in Dorchester to Miss Rose Pearlstein. A large bell of white lilac and Killarney roses and a shower bouquet carried by the bride, of valley and Cattleya Mossise, showed the skilled work of A. Roberts. Mr. and Mrs. Caplin received numerous gifts and have the best wishes of a host of friends for a long and happy mar- ried life. Mann Bros, are handling a fine line of late-flowering tulips. They are hav- ing an exceptionally heavy trade in bed- ding-out and other plants, preparatory to Memorial day. At 226 Devonshire street all is life and hustle, for Welch Bros, expect a big- ger Memorial day business than ever be- fore. Large supplies are predicted. Henry Hurrell, of Lager & Hurrell, Summit, N. J., was a visitor last week. His firm will make a big exhibit at the coming orchid show. He reports the or- chid business as better than eyer. N. P. Comley, of Lexington, is the largest sweet pea specialist at 2 Park street, growing several big houses of them. He sends in thousands daily, in- cluding all the leading varieties. A tour of the Boston park system at present is delightful, there being a wealth Western Florist Supply House Say* freight and expreisaga by buying near home.

Spraying operations against the gypsy and brown-tail moths and elm beetles commenced this week. Over thirty tons of arsenate of lead will be used in this work. E. J. Rogean is handling large quanti- ties of fine valley and lilac these days, in addition to many other flowers. Hospital tag day in Lynn took some 25,000 carnations out of the market last week.

MentioD The Review when you write. Sunday, May 15, the Arnold Arboretum was the Mecca for thousands of visitors, to see the grand lilac display. The col- lection of nearly 200 varieties was never better flowered. The continued cold weather continues to keep many growers on the anxious seat as regards Memorial day crops. The season is now two or three days later than a year ago, and a continuation of similar weather the balance of the month will find considerable lilac, Spirsea Van Houttei, viburnums, Iris Germanica, val- ley and other hardy material to add to greenhouse supplies. No peonies outside of officinalis forms flower here on time. Moutans are already open, but they will cut no figure. It looks now as though carnations would not be nearly plenti^l enough for demands. Maurice Fuld has issued a call to all gladiolus fanciers to meet at Horticul- tural hall, Boston, May 27, at 3 p. m., to assist in the formation of a gladiolus society. Offers of support are arriving from all sections and there will be a strong charter list. William C. Stickel, of Lexington, has been on the sick list, but is able to be around again. Edward Bingham, one of our weU known local growers, whose violets are always specially fine, has purchased one and one-half acres of additional land ad- joining his old plant, and will build ad- ditional glass shortly.

Business was good last week, many large funeral orders helping out the gen- eral run. The weather has been so changeable that people are afraid to be- gin planting out, but we look for the season to start with a rush about Maj 20. Mothers' day was well observed here. In accordance with a rule fixed by popu- lar accord and pushed by the florists, the white carnation was worn in memory of a sainted mother called to her reward, while the red or pink carnation was worn as a badge of honor for the loving mother who is stiU numbered with the living. Many a man with a white carnation brushed a tear from his eye as he wan- dered along the streets and saw in the coat lapel of another the red or pink car- nation. Before the day was half over, every florist in the city was sold out of flowers. Something over 10,000 carna- tions were disposed of and more could have been sold. This city seems to have taken kindly to Mothers' day; many of the ministers in the large churches preached sermons on "Mother," and some requested their congregations to wear a flower to church Sunday morning. May 8. The price asked by most of the florists was 10 cents each, or $1 per dozen. Various Notes. Wm. Trillow reports a fine business in Ms new downtown store, and is more than pleased with results.

In consequence, stock got a big start and then a setback. We have had a lot of hard frosts and some snow, which weighted down early flowers, such as tulips, etc. A bed of about 500 tulips was buried out of sight with snow April 19, but they were not seriously damaged.

The Market Business is reported as far from satis- factory, although early commencements brought in a little extra Avork, The up- town florists have had a few small wed- dings and receptions, but all say the bulk of the business is in funeral orders. Of course, the greenhouse men are busy now that the warm weather has set in, but they have their troubles, as everybody wants his work done first. However, it will be well into June before they will be through with the rush. The whole- salers have been busy packing away stock left over at the end of each day, and say that stock of all kinds is in abun- dance. Peonies and cape jasmines have now reached the market and are at pres- ent commanding top prices, but will soon come down to a level with carnations and roses, which are most plentiful. The stock in all these is of excellent quality. Fancy carnations are as low as 2 cents and roses 5 to 6 cents. Extra fancy long Beauties were quoted as low as $2 per dozen Saturday. There are plenty of lilies in both callas and Harrisii, and when graded they bring $6, $8 and $10 per hundred. Peonies in white, pink and red are selling well at $3 and $4 per hundred and long, fancy cape jasmine goes at $1.50 per hundred. There is some extra fine lily of the val- ley in the market daily. The report is that all outdoor flowers will be scarce for Decoration day. Club Meeting. The Florists' Club held its regular monthly meeting Thursday, May 12, in Odu Fellows' building.

The trustees were instructed to arrange for the annual picnic of the club, to taie place during the month of July, and re- port the date and arrangements at the next meeting, which will be the twenty- third anniversary of the club and will take place Thursday afternoon, June 9, at 2 o'clock. Various Notes. Henry Ostertag reports that his firm has the decorations for the electrical show next week in the big Coliseum, in which they will use 150 large bay trees. These and wild smilax will comprise the decorations. Fred J. Foster reports that he has leased a store, to be known as the Paris Floral Co., in the La Salle building, Broadway and Olive street, and will open it this month. He says he will also re- tain his old quarters in the Century building. Frank A. Weber will have charge of the local delegation of nurserymen for their trip to Denver, Colo., next month to attend the annual meeting of the Amer- ican Association of Nurserymen. He is chairman of the entertainment committee. The Florists' Club, at its last meeting, extended an invitation to the association to hold its 1911 meeting in this city. William Smith, who has been keeping bachelor quarters at his home for the last six weeks, says things are more home- like again. His mother has returned after a six weeks' trip to California. Henry Emunds, of Belleville; Edwin Denker, of St. Charles; William Winter, of Kirkwood, and John Connon, of Web- ster Groves, were the out-of-town mem- bers who spent Thursday, May 12, in this city and attended the club meeting in the afternoon. The planting season has at last opened for good and from now on the green- house men will have their hands full. A great deal of the early planting will have to be done over. Most of the grow- ers around here report that their peonies were all frozen during the recent cold spell. Miss Matilda Meinhardt, secretary of the Ladies* Home Circle, says the next meeting of the circle will take place at Chautauqua.

Charles Beyer has received a fresh im- portation of aspidistras, which have be- come rather scarce of late, also a big lot of orchids, for which they are going in quite heavily, as tne demand is growing steadily. The next meeting of the St. Louis Flo- rists' Club, June 9, will be the twenty- third anniversary and special invitations will be sent to the members to attend it. There is a lot of building going on in Kirkwood and will be all summer. Gus Gross, brother to Hugo Gross, is con- templating building several new houses. W. J. Pilcher is building one large house and F. Vennemann has three new houses in course of construction. Others who are building were reported in the Eeview earlier in the season, and at present it is understood that about thirty-five new greenhouses are being erected. Martin Eeukauf , traveling salesman for H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, called on the trade last week. J. J. B. Otto G.

Pres.. J. C. Robinson, Waterloo, Neb.; First Vice-pres., M. H. Duryea, New York; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O. Twenty-eighth annual meeting, Atlantic City, N. J.. June 21 to 23 1910. The word is that the English crops of turnip seed this year will be light. Radish is about the only item that really is displeasing the California seed growers. There is still some call from the can- ners who are under the necessity of re- planting peas. The riglit stocks are hard to locate. L. H. Archias, the seedsman of Seda- lia, Mo., was recently slated for the fourth degree of the Knights of Colum- bus at St. Louis. It appears that the loss on peas in Wisconsin may not be as great as was feared while the seed lay dormant in the wet, cold ground. The germination ha.s been better than one might expect with such weather as prevailed. Conrad Appel, Darmstadt, Germany, is un indefatigable exhibitor at expositions, having participated in about all through- out the world as far back as the Chicago world's fair. This year he is showing (German grass and tree seeds at the ex- positions at Brussels and at Allenstein. The seedsmen of Rochester are getting their breath after an unusually busy sea- son. Extra help has been needed in all departments, to care for the numerous orders by mail, and now the retail stores are equally busy. Many kinds of seeds are sold out entirely, and the prospects are that there will be only a small amount of stock to carry over to another season. The growing of seeds on the govern- ment irrigation projects in Montana is becoming a considerable industry. North- rup. King & Co., and others, are offering contracts to the farmers and it is said that on the Huntley project several hun- dred acres of peas will be grown this season. Locally it is said pea growing for seed appeals to the farmers, among other reasons, because ' ' the company fur- nishes the seed for planting and pays the farmers from 2 to 2% cents per pound. The crop, produces well, is harvested early, and the settler gets his money as soon as tBe seed is delivered at the rail- 7-Top Turnip Seed Advance Orders now taken for Choice Grades of Seven-Top Dixie Frost King Prize Talcer Now in full pod on Bloom sdale Farm.

ADVICES to hand from France do not give any rosy accounts of seed grow- ing prospects for the season. The sea- son has been cold and wet and has re- sulted in injury to some crops and delay in planting others. Burglars gained access to the store of the W. W. Barnard Co., in Chicago, a few nights ago and made a determined but unsuccessful effort to open the safe in the office. Although they drilled holes into the doors, broke off the handles and smashed the combination lock, the doors held fast. It required the services of an expert locksmith for two and a half hours to get inside the safe, during which time business was almost suspended, pending getting out the books and papers. There is no clue to the burglars. IMPORTS. The imports of seeds through the port of New York for the week ending May 7 were as follows: Kind. Pkgs. Val. KiuU. I'kgs. Val.

COMMERCE IN SEEDS. The foreign commerce of the United States, in seeds, for the month of March was as follows : Imports.. 1909 $ 580.253 1908 1,860,049 Exports. 1909 I 480,983 1908 261,075 AS SLUIS SEES CONDITIONS. ' * The seed trade everywhere in Amer- ica seems to have had an extremely busy season and to be in a condition of pros- perity not excelled elsewhere in the world." The speaker was Yoost Sluis, of Sluis Bros., seedgrowers at Enkhuizen, Hol- land, who is back at New York, prepara- tory to sailing May 24 after his first visit to America. Mr. Sluis has crossed the continent, having visited the cab- bage seed growers on Puget Sound, passed down through the Santa Clara valley and returned east by way of Los Angeles, Denver, Kansas City, Chicago, Cincinnati, Washington and Philadel- phia, spending the last days of his stay in visiting the cabbage and cauliflower seed growers on Long Island. ' ' The seed crops in California, so far as I saAv them," said Mr. Sluis, "are looking good, with the exception of rad- ish, and this, I was told, is the general condition at those places I did not have time to visit. Lettuce looks particularly well, but the growers are not complaining at the condition of onion, sweet peas or, in fact, any crops other than radish. ' ' Our own main crops are cabbage and cauliflower and I was, of course, specially interested in the growing of cabbage for seed at the Puget Sound. They do not have the prospect of a large crop there this year. "At home we have had a time of ex- tremely high prices; high as prices for seeds have been in practically all the countries of the world, I think Holland has had a sharper rise than any other.

The high prices have done their part in increasing the acreage devoted to seed growing, but of equal importance has been the mild winter that has per- mitted all biennials to winter well. ' * High prices for any crop will nat- urally correct themselves, by increased production, though the situation in seeds may be a little slower in working out than it is witli less specialized crops, partly because of a succession of poor crop years, partly because of a scarcity of stock seeds in some important lines and partly because the demand for seeds has increased .at an unforeseen rate, in Germany, France, England and Holland, «s well as in America.

Chairman of the Committee on Postal .\frairs, reported strongly in favor of the seed trade generally comp;ylng with the rulings of the Posi-offlce Department as to using trans- parent paper. The Third Assistant Postmaster General and -Mr. Bacon both emphasized tbe fact that It would be a great mistake to further agitate the question .lust now, when Congress Is so opposed to special privileges (and seeds enjoy one-balf the postage rate of other fourth-class matter) and when there is so much discussion as to second-class matter.

Can you advise us as to the latest ruling of the Post-office Department in reference to the rate and classification for seeds in sealed packages, such as packets, ounce packets, etc.? We understand that there is to be in effect July 1 a requirement that seeds shall be in transparent pack- ets if mailed at the rate of 1 cent for each two ounces. B. S. C. The Post-office Department, through local postmasters where there are seed houses, has notified the trade that after July 1 sealed packets of seeds will pay first claps rates of postage, except where the packet is sufficiently transparent to show the contents clearly. The depart- ment's circular advises seedsmen that they should submit samples of the en- velopes they propose using for the ap- proval of the local postmaster before ordering in quantity. You should have received this notifica- tion from your local postmaster, and if you have not received it you doubtless will be supplied with a copy of the no- tice upon application at your post-office. KENTIA PALM SEEDS. Word comes from Sydney that kt a recent meeting of the Australian Nursery Association a warm discussion took place on the recent rise in prices of Kentia seeds. Mr. Cheeseman, a member of the association, moved: "That this confer- ence expresses dissatisfactiom with the arrangement made by the New South Wales state officials for the distribution 64 The Weekly Florists^ Review* May 19, 1910. of palm seeds from Lord Howe island, whereby authority has been given to leaseholders and contractors to combine together to raise the price of seeds and control the output generally, which com- bine has raised the prices of seeds 650 per cent over the prices ruling before the combine was initiated." He stated that at one time the price was 8 shillings to 10 shillings a bushel, but now it had gone up to nearly £3, a rise of 650 per cent, and that most of the extra profit went to the company which controlled the output, and not to the islanders generally. On the other hand, it was argued that liefore the trade was organized and con- trolled, the islanders were at the mercy of buyers who paid starvation prices, so that though Lord Howe's island had a monopoly of the supply, the inhabi- tants were reaping miserable returns for their labors. The motion was finally passed, and a deputation appointed to wait upon the minister responsible for the government of the island. CATALOGUES RECEIVED. W.

Selby, Botanist, Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, Wooster, O., read at the Ashtabula convention of tbe Green- house Vegetable Growers' Association. Con- tinued from the Review of May 12.] Ctscumber Diseases. Diseases of muskmelons and more par- ticularly, perhaps, diseases of cucumbers, are at times very rapid in their develop- ment under glass and very destructive to these crops. Without methods of soil sterilization, successful forcing bouse culture of muskmelons and cucumbers is practically impossible. With soil ster- ilization this culture is quite profitable. This shows what factor we have in the soil-infesting diseases which may be killed out by the soil treatment. The diseases of cucumbers and melons include about three or four leaf troubles, two wilts, a fruit spot, and two serious root troubles. Powdery mildew. — Powdery mildew often attacks the leaves of cucumbers, es- pecially when the temperature and sun- shine are deficient for their growth. It is rarely destructive and is controlled by a spray of dilute copper solution. Downy mildew. — Downy mildew is caused by the fungus, Plasmopara Cuben- sis. It is a relative of the destructive late blight of potatoes. It spreads rapidly in the forcing house, but, if taken promptly upon its first appearance, may be controlled by Bordeaux mixture. I have seen forcing houses of both musk- melons and cucumbers promptly killed off with this fungus. Anthracnose. — This disease attacks both cucumbers and muskmelons, as well as the bean. The fungus, CoUetotrichum Lagenarium, causes rather rounded, dead spots in the leaves and somewhat elon- gated lesions on the stems. By attack- ing both leaves and stems, the anthrac- nose soon cuts down the yield of fruits. It is successfully controlled by Bordeaux mixture in the field, or in the greenhouse by a solution of copper sulphate, one pound to fifty gallons. Leaf-spot and fruit-spot. — Outdoors we have had outbreaks in Ohio, caused by various leaf-spot fungi. And in other SAVES BACK ACHE The Harriman Plant Setter does away with tedious back-break- ing work in setting out or trans- planting vegetable and flowet plants. It is espec- ially desirable for transplanting young strawberry, tomato, cabbage, sweet po- tato and tobacco plants, as well as potatoes, onions and other tubers. It sets plants at any de- sired depth, weighs less than 5 pounds, is substantially con- structed and easy to operate.

As far as I know, these troubles have not been conspicuous in greenhouses, though I am not fully ad- vised as to conditions beyond the borders of Ohio. Melon leaf-blight. — Tlie nmskmelon leaf-blight, which is quite a serious mat- ter in fields, is also troublesome in the forcing house. I believe firmly in the efficiency of spraying to keep down this leaf fungus, alternaria. Muskmelons will not stand quite so strong a spray as cucumbers, and the strength of Bordeaux mixture may wisely be reduced. Cucumber and melon wilts. — With each of these crops, we have two distinct wilt diseases; namely, a bacterial disease, which is transmitted by biting insects and probably through the soil; and a fusarium wilt, which is certainly trans- mitted both by biting insects and through the soil. Beyond soil treatment, for which steaming is best, it is wise to gather and burn all wilted plants of either kind, should this trouble break out in the greenhouse.

May 19, 1910. we had a good deal of complaint in this district, and later from Cleveland, by reason of the unsatisfactory growth of cucumbers. These vines had small, some- what curled leaves, and there was evi- dent lack of vigor. It was finally found that, in this case of leaf-curl, a portion of the rootlets were destroyed by the fungus of lettuce rosette, rhizoctonia. It also developed that, where the strong formaldehyde drench had been used, the fungus had been well killed out, while with the weaker drench it was unsatis- factory, a disease developing on the cucumber roots. The same facts apply to muskmelons. The remedy lies in the thoroughness of soil treatment. Nematodes. — Cucumbers are especially susceptible to attacks of eelworms, and the root-knots caused by them are easily discovered by washing out the roots. Soil steaming is effective against these micro- scopic worms. [To be Continued.] PACIFIC COAST. Corning, Cal. — Mrs. Wilson Morse, who had fifteen years' experience as a florist in Clinton, Mass., is now in the business here, at the corner of Houghton avenue and Yolo street. SAN FHANCISCO. The Market, Business continues quiet, with a pain- ful excess of all kinds of stock. Carna- tions are still a drug in the market and never before at this time of year have they been so plentiful or so cheap. The great addition of glass devoted to the culture of this flower during the present season has destroyed all previous prices. Roses, except for some of the best grades, meet with little or no demand. Beauties hold their own, and there has been some demand for white sorts during the last week. Spanish iris is at its height at present and can be bought for about $1 per hundred wholesale. Outside stock of all kinds, such as bachelor's buttons, coreopsis and gaillardias, seem' to sell better than inside-grown flowers. Bride gladioli have made their appear- ance in the stores and are proving to be good sellers; there is considerable in- quiry for them from the country dealers and, if they are as scarce this year as they were last Memorial day, the growers who have a supply on hand will do weU. All eyes are turned toward Decoration day, and from present indications we may expect quite a fair trade. Many out-of- town dealers are here this week and prep- arations are being made to handle all possible orders. There has been little doing in San Francisco of late, except for funeral or- ders, which have been quite brisk for several days, and there were a few fair sized wedding decorations thrown in for good measure.

The growing of annuals in the neigh- borhood of San Francisco has been brought to greater perfection this sea- son than ever before. The demand has been large, owing partially to the severe frosts early in the year, which destroyed many bedding and border plants that usually survive our winters. On the other hand, the public has found that there is some difficulty in producing from seed many of our showy annuals so as to have them early enough for spring flowering. A few dealers have wisely taken ad- vantage of the fact that the ordinary flower lover is poorly equipped to handle this part of gardening, and quantities of soft stock have been in the market since early in February for their benefit. There has also been a notable advance- ment in the quality and in the methods of handling adopted this season. Well made, clean flats have taken the places of the old, harum-scarum boxes, and uni- form sizes are now usually found where we were used to seeing all shapes and sizes. These are apparently insignificant items, but a neat flat and uniform sized plants have a good effect on the buying public and help to make sales. Flower lovers are quick to take notice of any- thing in this line in which they are in- Araucarlas Arsuoarla Kzcelsa, young, healthy plants seedlings with 3 to 4 tiers, at $16.00 per 100.

As an indication of the amount of stock of this kind sold, one firm in the vicinity of San Francisco sold over 3,000 boxes since the first of the year. These were distributed among probably fifty retail flower and seed stores and the season is yet far from be- ing over. The complaint has been made for many years that there has been but little of this stock shown by the retailers and that the people have had but little opportunity to see what they are most interested in at this time of the year. Now that the growers have shown what they can produce and how quickly the plant buyers will purchase when the chance is offered, there should be many more thousands of boxes of annuals placed on the market next year.

Harrison Nursery Co. has been incorporated in York, Neb. The members of the company are C. S. Har- risoB, H. S. King and Fred G. Yule. Mr. Harrison is familiarly known as Father Harrison. He has also been called the Burbank of Nebraska and is well known as a writer on horticultural subjects. The Sherman Nursery Co , of Charles City, la., has had an unusually prosperous season. The demand for stock, it is said, has been far in excess of the supply on hand, and many orders have necessarily been rejected. "Within the last few months 320 acres of land have been added by purchase to the company's holdings, and large tracts of the new ground are being prepared for use. COMMERCE IN NURSERY STOCK. According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture the value of the nursery stock imported in the last five years reaches the quite respectable sum of $8,935,014.

During the late winter months rain fell sufficient to germinate seeds and cuttings, and there was a good season for plantings. Our prospects for 1910 are satisfactory, while, as before stated, we go into the year with depleted stock. The cost of imported stock being high the past season, we fig- ure a reduction of fifty per cent on all imported stocks for 1910, which, coupled with the drought of 1909, means high A BLUE ROSE The Greatest Rose Novelty of the Century It flowered with us this sea- son and was greatly admired.

THESPIRAEAa In the whole realm of deciduous flow- ering shrubs no single genus gives so long a succession of bloom as the spiraeas. By planting a number of varieties, flow- ers may be had from April until Octo- ber; in fact, this year S. Thunbergii was well open the last of March in a shel- tered location, even in cold New Eng- land, and it is quite common with tMs same variety to find flowers on it in No- vember, if we get a few days of average Indian summer warmth. S. Thunbergii is a slender, graceful grower. During severe winters it kills back a good deal in exposed locations. This year the plants all flowered beauti- fully and were well open by the middle of April. Branches of this spiraea, cut and placed in water in a warm green- house, will open out finely in February and March in the same way as the for- sythias and prunus. This spiraea should be planted with tall, coarse growing shrubs. It looks best in a bed or colony by itself.' S. Beevesiana fl. pi. is a taU and grace- ful grower. It has the advantage over some other kinds of holding its foliage well along into the fall. The leaves are bright and btuiSh green in color, and the double white flowers are produced in May and June. S. opulifolia is a vigorous growing spiraea and suitable for screening pur- poses. It does not make a good single Xow is the time to figure with us on PEONIES for fall delivery.

J Mention The Review when you write specimen and is better massed. The flat heads of pure white flowers open in southern New England early in June. There is also a golden-leaved form of S. opulifolia which is admired by some growers. S. Van Houttei is undoubtedly the best of all the spiraeas and is known to almost everyone. It is a popular shrub for sup- plying cut sprays for Memorial day in many sections and the pruning back it receives each year only seems to make the plants take on new vigor. As a sin gle specimen this is undoubtedly the best of all spiraeas, the pendulous, graceful branches being a veritable mass of sno^y whiteness. We have heard objections to the effect that the plants carry too much flower in proportion to the small foliage, and there is some truth in this, but for an easily grown, ironclad spiraea people are likely to plant S. Van Houttei more than any other sort. S. arguta, of which there are several forms, is in our estimation the most beautiful of the dwarf early blooming spiraeas. It was this season in full flower in the Arnold Arboretum, Boston, as early as April 20. The flowers are pure white; the branches lack the grace- ful charticter of S. Thunbergii, but the flowers individually are larger and purer and the plant appears to be much hardier and in nearly every way more desirable than S. Thunbergii. S.

T. quite a sensation when first introduced. While it rarely exceeds eighteen inches in height, it blooms almost persistently from June until October. The crimson heads of flowers make this spiraea valu- able, it being the deepest colored of the whole family. As a low, deciduous hedge plant, it is effective. It is also excel- lent for mass effects, or as a border for shrubbery. Cut away the early flower heads as they fade, to insure a constant crop of bloom the rest of the summer. The variety Bumalda is itself worthy of a place, its rose-colored flowers being pro- Q-in.

ROCHESTER. The Market. The bottom fell out of the carnation market the latter part of last week. The prices tumbled from $1 a dozen to 25 cents, and Saturday evening the street fakers were selling good stock at "bar- gain prices." Sweet peas are retailing &t about 15 cents a bunch. Hoses are coming in quantities sufficient to meet all demands, and prices range from $3 to $6, wholesale. Quantities of bedding plants are com- ing in, and almost every little grocery store has a few baskets of pansies or a dozen pots of geraniums set beside a bunch of celery or a basket of potatoes. One problem the florists have yet to solve is how to hold prices on a profitable basis. The pupils of one of our public schools were furnished with geraniums from 3%- inch and 4-inch pots at 4 cents each, and plants from 3-inch pots can be bought at 50 cents a dozen any day. Aster plants are advertised as low as 5 cents a dozen. Various Notes. Charles H. Vick made a "hurry trip" to New York on Thursday, May 12, on business connected with the S. A. F. trade exhibit. New Yorkers will use a large amount of space, for plants, cut flowers and florists' supplies. Philadel- phia will be a close second — maybe the Quaker City will be first, too, unless the New Yorkers hurry up. S. A. Anderson, of Buffalo, is plan- ning for an extensive exhibit of begonias. About thirty of the members of the Florists' Association availed themselves of the opportunity to inspect the collec- tion of lilacs at Highland park on Friday afternoon, May 13. The party was per- sonally conducted by W. C. Barry, vice- president of the city park commission, and John Dunbar, assistant superintend- ent of parks, and two busy hours were spent in examining some of the speci- mens in a collection of 213 varieties. The lilacs are now in their prime, and on Sunday thousands of Eochesteriana and visitors from nearby towns thronged the park, the lilac collection being the great attraction. E. F. R.

ORANGE, N. J. Dr. J. M. W. Kitchen, of East Orange, read a paper on ' ' The Question of Heat- ing for Orchid Culture" before the New Jersey Floricultural Society, in Ldndsley hall, 240 Main street, May 13. He rec- ommended hot water as the best medium for heating and advised having plenty of radiating surface, so as to have the pipes only moderately hot, which makes it more congenial for the orchids. An interesting discussion followed in regard to the time of shading. Dr. Kitchen said he shaded in the latter part of January and used white lead and kerosene for that purpose. J. A. Manda considered that time too early, and said the latter part of March was time enough. He recommended crude oil and whiting as being the best material for shading, as well as the cheapest. John J. Dervan asked Dr. Kitchen what was the best thing to do to get rid of the cattleya fly. He replied that he had tried all the different kinds of in- secticides, but found he got the best re- sults from strong fumigation with to- bacco stems when the plants were not in flower. The monthly exhibit for points was exceptionally fine and the competition was keen. Those who lead in the various classes at present are: Roses, A. B. Jen- kins, Albert F. Larson gardener; carna- tions, Chas. A. Hathaway, Max Schneider gardener; vegetables, A. C. Von Gaas- beck, John J. Dervan gardener; foliage and flowering plants, S. M. & A. Colgate, William Eeid gardener. The following are the awards of the judges: Boses — Albert F. Larson, 90 points ; John J. Dervan, 90 ; Frank Drew, 85; William Eeid, 70. Carnations — Max Schneider, 80 points; John J. Dervan, 75; William Eeid, 70. Flowering plants — John J. Dervan, 85 points; William Eeid, 75. Foliage plants — William Eeid, 90 points. Collection of vegetables, John J. Dervan, 90 points. Lager & Hurrell, cattleya Mossiae, 80 points. Certificates were awarded for the fol- lowing exhibits, not in competition for points: Max Schneider, cineraria. Vic- tory carnation, rhubarb and lettuce, cul- tural certificate; John J. Dervan, calceo- larias, cultural certificate; Albert F. Lar- son, roses,* cultural certificate. Fritz Berglund, gardener for the Es- sex County Country Club, showed a nice vase of Canterbury bells. Albert F. Lar- son received a first-class certificate for a scarlet seedling carnation. John J. Dervan will read an essay on "Growing Eoses Under Glass," at the next meeting. William Eeid, Sec'y.

Although stock receipts were on the increase last week, there was enough do- ing, especially in funeral work, to keep the market in a fine condition. There was ho surplus of anything. Carnations, for once, were about equal to the de- mand and brought a good price. The quality of roses, especially Beauties, is still good and they found ready sale. Smilaz continues scarce, but a good sup- ply of Asparagus Sprengeri helped out nicely. Various Notes. As was anticipated, the annual May ball given by the Milwaukee Florists' Club, May 14, was in every respect a grand success. Florists and their friends turned out in good numbers and made merry till the small hours of the night. The hall was prettily decorated with palms, ferns and wild smilax. The palms were donated by the following firms: Aug. F. Kellner Co., Chas. Menger, Ed- lefsen-Leidiger Co. and Emil Welke. The smilax was donated by the H9lton & Hunkel Co. All in all, it again' proved to be an ideal time for promoting that feeling of good fellowship which is so essential in order to obtain the best re- sults in all societies or clubs. It has been some time since any fu- neral called for so many large flower pieces as that of the late "William C. Brumder. There were no less than two dozen good-sized designs, and these, with the numerous bouquets, both large and small, presented a grand effect at the cemetery. The Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. says that it was compelled to work all of Tuesday night to get out orders for the Brumder funeral I^ week. The 0. C. PoUworth Co. is now receiv- ing daily shipments of carnations from its greenhouse plant, and they are of a fine quality. The Holton & Hunkel Co. reports ship- ping trade as brisk as ever. This firm's Beauties are holding out well, both in quality and quantity. John C. Arnold, who is nicely settled in the new store at 603 East Water street, now has one of the neatest places in town. E.

There is a good market for flowers, Avith fairly good prices. Carnations are in good demand; 50 cents and 60 cents per dozen, retail, is the general price. Koses are of good quality. These retail at $1.50 per dozen; sweet peas at $1 per hundred blooms; lilies at $2 per dozen; snapdragons at 75 cents and $1 per dozen. A few tulips are seen; these sell at 60 cents per dozen, retail. Daffodils are about all gone. Funeral work is plentiful, using immense lots of stock. Pansies sell well. Geraniums are being called for now; they retail for 12 cents and 15 cents «ach, in Sy^-inch and 4-inch pots. There are large quantities, also, of other bed- ding stock. Lilac will be about all gone by Memorial day, as well as nearly all outdoor tulips. Some of the florists have •commenced to fill their cemetery vases and urns. The weather during the last week has been cloudy, and, judging from reports, <'arnation3 will be scarce for Memorial day. Greens are scarce just now. Snow- balls will probably be in bloom for Deco- ration day. Various Notes. Wm. P. Peirce had some good funeral orders last week. Julius Rosetzsky, his ■manager, was in Boston last week, as a -witness in a case heard by the governor's council, as also was J. H. Cleary, who -was one of the most important witnesses in the case. Mr. Cleary is showing some new kind of a flower, which will keep two or three months after being prepared. Peter Murray has a big batch of for- get-me-nots in three different colors, which find a ready sale. S. S. Peckham and Peckliam Bros., of Little Compton, R. I., have an enormous number of geraniums and bedding plants ready for Memorial day. They report a big call for them. H. Y. Sowle will have plenty of gera- niums and lilies for Memorial day. R. H.

Mention The Review when you write. PITTSBURG. The Market. Trade has been somewhat irregular the last week. The cold and rain shortened op stock, however, and the supply just about equaled the demand, so things were easy with the wholesalers and they were not complaining. The retailers, however, seemed to find cause for complaint, not only from the fact that trade was unusually quiet, but the fact that the first warm days they looked for a grand rush among their plant customers, each one wanting their orders for bedding plants and window and porch boxes filled at once. Plantsmen are getting impatient about the continued cold, which is holding everything back. The first of April vegetation was at least one month ahead, and now the mid- dle of May finds it about a week later than usual, with no better weather in sight, and the weather man predicting frost every night. Various Notes, H. L. Blind & Bros, have their new car on the street and, as they have good streets and roads between their east end store and the greenhouses, they expect to make good use of it for the next couple of months. A couple of inebriates on the evening of Friday, May 13, took a header through the big plate glass window of Breit- enstein 's store. One was reported in jail, the other in the hospital. E. C. Reineman writes from Antwerp that they had a delightful voyage, the ocean being as smooth as a mill pond and none of the party being seasick. The Pittsburg Credit Men's Associa- tion has established a credit exchange bureau, which will be invaluable to our local people if they will all get in. Those who have already joined are: W. C. Beckert. A. W. Smith Co. and the Pitts- burg Ciit Flower Co. It is hoped all others in the trade will come in, as "in unity there is strength." E. C. Ludwig, Julius Ludwig and Charles Erhardt took part Thursday night. May 2, in initiating the sheriff into the B. P. O. E. at Ambridge, Pa. They had a delightful time and got home the following morning. Fred Burki, who went to Mt. Clemens a week ago, is reported improving and it is expected he will have entirely recovered in a short time. Mr. Schoenhut, of Buffalo, N. Y,, was a visitor this week. Hoo-Hoo.

Philadelphia Mention The Review when you write INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. Trade was only fair last week, but stock continues good ana there is enough to go around. The season for planting flower beds and veranda boxes opened up early last week with a rush. A cold wave struck us the middle of the week, followed by three nights of frost, which did not help this end of the business. Bedding stock, as a whole, is good, and this is surprising, as we have had one of the worst springs in years for growing good stock. The outlook for outdoor nowers for Decoration day is not promising, but in- door stock should be plentiful. Various Notes. Harry Pahud is back on the old stand after a nine months' stay in Chicago. Baur & Smith have been sending in some exceptionally good carnations for this time of the year. This firm has been booking a number of large orders for geraniums, and their stock is fine this year. A. Wiegand & Sons have the exclusive privilege for selling flowers at the Indian- apolis motor speedway this year. This firm has been quite busy putting out veranda boxes and flower beds. Fred Hukreide is looking for a big spring trade this year. He says his bed- ding plants are the best ever. L. a. Benson got in a large shipment of bay trees and boxwoods last week. Irwin Bertermann has charge of the planting for the Bertermann Bros. Co. this year. F. W. Brandt is contemplating build- ing a conservatory at his residence and stocking it with palms for decorative pur- poses. Chas. Volrath, with the Roepke-Bie- man Co., is still on the sick list. He has been having a severe time of it as he has been on the shelf for about two months. H. L. W. ^ BEDDING PLANTS CsnnS^ from 4-inch pots, in the fol- ^^***"***^ lowing varieties: A. Bouvier, Mme.

It will be advisable to use three lines in each house as risers, and the thirteen returns in as many coils as there are risers for each house; that is, two coils of four pipes each and one with five. Such a plant will require a boiler with about 400 square feet of heating surface. You can place the ex- pansion tank in any convenient location, provided it is fifteen or twenty feet above the heating pipes and connected with the main return near the boiler. F. E. RESIDENCE AND GREENHOUSES. For the sake of convenience and econ- omy, we should like to heat our residence and greenhouses with the same plant. The residence is 30x45 and two stories high. The first story measures ten feet to the ceiling, and the second story nine feet. Twenty feet to the north of the residence i^ a greenhouse, 20x35 and five feet to the caves. At the southwest corner of the residence is a conservatory, 16x16, which we will replace with a greenhouse ] 8x35. extending to the walk. The smoke- stack is forty-five feet in height and the line is about 10x14 inches. We shall use water heat. We are located in northern Kansas and want ordinary greenhouse temperature. A. J. K. To heat the two floors of the dwelling will require about 675 square feet of radiation. For a temperature of 60 de- grees in the greenhouses, it will be de- sirable to use 280 square feet of radiation in the house 20x35 feet, and 250 feet in the house 18x35 feet. In order to obtain economical coal consumption, a boiler with a rating of 1,500 square feet should be used. For heating the house 20x35 feet, use one 2i/.-inch flow pipe and twelve 2-inch returns; or, if it is preferred to have flow pipes on the side walls, use three 2i,l>-inch flows and nine 2-inch returns. In the other house, three flows and eight returns will be needed. The flue is of ample size and height for the amount of radiation required.

Would You Save One-Quarter of Your Coal Bill? = INSTALL == A Kitts Improved Hydraulic Damper Regulator. Florist Peter Crowe, Rose Place, Utica, N. Y., voluntarily writes:— " I am very much pleased to let you know that the Damper Regulator I bought from you last fall is by tar the best apparatus lor greenhouse purposes. I had my book-keeper compare my coal bill of last with that of this year and I find a saving of one quarter the amount of this year's coal over last year's ; also the past winter was a great deal colder and longer than the winter before. ^ " There is another very good feature about the Damper Regulator, as It keeps a uniform heat in all the houses at all times by putting on and shutting off plpesr And I find that my Roses and Ferns did far better this winter than any winter so far, as the temperature was so imlform at all times. ■■ My reason for writing you Is to let you know, and also to thank you for bringing my attention to the Regulator, and I assure you I cannot speak too highly of this machine."

Business last week was a little slow, but seems to be much better at present. Boses and carnations have been affected considerably by thrips for some time, but are somewhat improved. Peonies and gladioli are quite plentiful. Motheri' day was a great day for the florists here. White carnations were not the only flower worn, but flowers of every color were seen and were in great de- mand. There were not enough carnations to go around and the next best seller was the white rose. Mothers' day seems to have taken a great hold and should be pushed by everyone in the trade. Various Notes. Julius Niednagel & Sons had a large cut of carnations for Mothers' day; they sold all and could have sold a great many more. The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. had a big demand for carnations for Mothers' day. Roses sold well, also. This firm has a large variety of spring plants. They are cutting lots of peonies. Karl Zeidler has several large jobs of planting out in parks and his stock of geraniums is fine. He is quite busy and uses lots of cut flowers. Xellie Goodge is extremely busy doing cemetery work. She is not in the best of health, but manages to oversee all work done. Her stock of bedding plants is large and extra good. J. C. Elspennan has been busy right along. He has a large plant trade, and this, along with the funeral work, keeps him hustUng. Otto Kuebler, rf Newburg, is sending in a good many roses. E. L. F. Kekdallville, Ind. — Henry Johnson, formerly a florist at Angola,' Ind., finds that he is cramped for room, and will erect a new iron frame greenhouse, 28x30, during the coming summer.

In these busy clays of May everyone seems to be in a hurry. The' pot plant trade is an addition to the regular run of business, and at the present time it is really a business of itself, as the de- mand steadily increases day by day and plants of all descriptions are commenc- ing to move rapidly. Orders for Decoration day bouquets are coming in by the wholesale, and the awful rush makes one almost wish that it was all over. The demand for funeral work was brisk last week, and, as is usual, light colored flowers were scarce, making it impossible to fill all orders. This was especially true with Enchantress and white carnations, which were cut so closely for Mothers' day that one was hardly able to catch up on them. The general demand was also good ; so, taking all into consideration, last week's business was most satisfactory in every respect. Various Notes. The Dayton florists were apprised of the importance of Mothers' day two years ago, but at that time few knew of the idea, although a fair demand for white flowers resulted. The second year, how- ever, it was quite generally known, and a heavier demand ensued, but this season it was known by nearly everyone. The newspapers took the matter up and an- nounced the idea, the mayor issued a proc- lamation, and churches, societies and schools took to the obsers'ance of the day in honor of Mother. The supply was quite inadequate, the only complaint be- ine that the people demanded all white, while, to our way of thinking, all colors are just as appropriate. A senator's wife recently visited the floral establishment of Mrs. B. Haschke; her attention was attracted by an unusu- ally elaborate bed of S. A. Nutt gera- niums, and while gazing at them with in- tense admiration she remarked : ' ' How I do love to see a nice, large pot filled with red geraniums and spaghetti ! ' ' John Kuhlen, of Jackson, Tenn., has recently accepted a position with the Miami Floral Co. The Heiss Co. is tearing down two of the old greenhouses, and in their place will build one large house, with all mod- ern equipments. This firm reports busi- ness to be most encouraging. W. W. Horlacker reports that business with him has been exceptionally good. Visitors last week were: George Bird, of Sidney, O. ; D. Rusconi, Cincinnati. O. ; A.

Preparations are under way for a heavy Memorial day trade. As our weatli- er conditions are such that planting out- side is not safe until a week before Memorial day, the last few days arc I'.rowded to the limit. Orders are com Ing in steadily and the local florists are well pleased with the prospects. Light pink gladioli are attracting •auch attention in the art of this to most growers is The comparison of the number of ven- tilator machines, liftings, etc.. that go into tliis job and in the average size of urrc.nhouire. There are 1,490 sashes that ventilate in this new automobile plant. :ind it requires 2,980 arms and rods, and \3o machines to operate them. It is necessary to use 1-inch and 114-infl' shafting throughout, and to support this .^liafting 1,940 hangers are required. A special gear box and driving device were designed for this job, but with a view toward greenhouse needs, however, and the King Construction Co., who are doing the work, will probably use this )iew ventilating machinery in some of the larger greenhouses that are to be erected liy them. ^__ RULE FOR PLANTING CANNAS. From a foot to a foot and a half each way is the proper distance apart for .anna plants, according to the vigor of the plant. If you have a round bed, «tart with one plant in the center, put six in the first circle surrounding this center plant, and for each subsequent row increase the number of plants by six. If the rows and the plants in the rows are equal distances apart, this rule is a never failing one for circular beds, whether the planting distance be six inches or two feet. After the plants begin to make rapid growth they should never be allowed to become drv. They are great lovers of moisture, "but the National Council of Horticulture says the supply of water should be in accordance with the heat. De not be lavish in watering when the temperature is below 60 degrees, or be- fore the plants have reached a stage of active growth.

I'.tli). 1\INout half the length of the house were blown out away from the sill and only held by the eaves. In place* even the eeuient walls were cracked and liroken. All the I'oof vent sash wei'e blown up ami in the flret three sei'tions the force was so irreut that the sash were raised straight up. The vent shaftinK was twisted completely out of the clamp coup- lings. The force of the explosion was down through the greenhouse: parts of the boiler were forced through the coal bunker an'! retaining wall. The damage to the greenhouse aside from that mentioned above, and of course the glass breakage, was small. The lower struts are slightly bent and the rafters a trifle bowed in the tirst three sections, but this does not affect the strength or utility of the house in the least. When I replaced the I'oof glass I did not have to line up or readjust a single bar. When I think what might have been the result of the explosion had the houses been of wood construction or any other type not de- signed as youre are. I feel that youi Iron Frame House is by far the safest Investment. . You may rest assured that my future build- ing will l)ethe King Houses and will '»»oonimend tliem most strongly.

'I raonnO &; rDrnnni.r^-l These Greenhouses are Equipped with The Kewanee System of Water Supply This illustration shows the Riverside Greenhouses at Wichita, Kas. Though not connected with any city mains, they are provided with service equal to that of the best city water works system. Mr. F. Kuechenmeister, proprietor of the Riverside Greenhouses, says: "The Kewanee Water Supply System I bought of you, gives en- tire satisfaction. The outfit works fine — no cost for repairs." Good water service is appreciated everywhere. But nowhere is this service so essential, as it is for greenhouses, nurseries, truck gardens, etc. The water supply problem for these places has been successfully solved by The Kewanee System of Water Supply In the Kewanee System, there is no ele- vated tank to leak, freeze, overflow or col- lapse. Instead, the water is stored in a Kewanee Pneumatic Tank, and it is deliv- ered by air pressure. The Kewanee Tank may be located in the cellar or buried in (he ground. It is completely protected from all ex- tremes in weather. You will be sure of water of the ri^ht temperature dur- ing all seasons. This water will have strong pressure behind it— 40 to 60 pounds is easily possible. 40 pounds is equal to the pressure .from an elevated tank 93 feet hi|ih. And you can have all the water you want, because Kewanee Tanks are made in sizes to suit any requirements. There are nearly ten thousand Kewanee Systems in successful operation. They are being used for country and suburban homes, farms, green houses, truck gar- dens, public institutions, schools, etc. Wherever city water service is not available or is unsatisfactory, the Ke- wanee System is the logical choice. Let our engineering department solve your water supply problem. No charge for preliminary specifications and esti- mates. Satisfactory results guaranteed.

FLOWER STORE FOR CHARITY. Philip Breitmeyer did a thing unique in the annals of the trade when he offered a Detroit charity the use of his flower store for an afternoon's sal?. Tag days have become common, it is quite the ordinary thing for the women to run the street cars for a day, and oc- casionally a newspaper surrenders its office for an issue for a local charity. At Detroit the interest at present is in the suppression of tuberculosis, and when the mayor of the city offered to give the use of his store for an after- noon the Society for the Study and Pre- vention of Tuberculosis gladly accepted. The date for the sale was set as Thurs- day, May 19, and from 1 o 'clock to 5 o'clock the society ladies of Detroit acted as shop girls. The event had been widely advertised, with the assurance that only ordinary prices would be charged for stock, but many customers did not accept their change. An ex- tremely large stock had been provided, many of the florists of Detroit joining with Mr. Breitmeyer in donating flowers for the sale, but at the close of the afternoon scarcely anything remained and the charity had gained an excellent profit. The store was handsomely deco- rated for the event and an orchestra was ensconced in one of the corners. The regular flower store employees, while they did no selling, were on hand to keep the stock in order and to wrap for the salespeople. It is not to be presumed that Mayor Breitmeyer was actuated by any other than a charitable motive, but he found that he had obtained probably the best advertisement his flower store ever had, except the one coincident with his elec- tion as mayor of D;etr6it. The sale brought in hundreds of people who were not regular customers, and the news- paper talk brought Breitmeyer 's flower store to the attention of everyone in Detroit. IN A NEW YORK CHURCH. One of the most elaborate wedding decorations of the season in New York ^as that put up last week at the Church of the Incarnation for the Borland-Pell nuptials. M. A. Bowe, who did the ^ork, supplies the following descrip- tion: The church background was banked with palms to the height of thirty feet, covering the entire blank wall, extend- in? to both sides of the church, thus giving a setting for the floral decora- tion, which consisted entirely of spring blossoms of pink and white. 'The railing was banked with pink snapdragon, with graceful vines. On the altar was placed a standing cross of white roses, banked with snapdragon and Farleyense ferns. 'The foreground of the palms was entirely of spring flowers, weigelia, ap- P'e and cherry blossoms, with gink peonies and hydrangeas interspersed. The pulpit was of plants and white deutzia, with garlands of pink roses under the drum, making a pretty flow- ering effect. "On the choir stalls large bunches of peonies and spring flowers were looped with asparagus strings. "On every other pew bunches of and roses over the front of the organ stall, with vines falling from them, gave a graceful effect." WEDDING BOUQUETS. Some people think the bride must c:iny a bouquet of valley, or, possibly, there wouldn 't be any wedding. But it isn 't so. The accompanying illustration is re- produced from a photograph of a wed- ding bouquet of daisies — and everything passed off smoothly. Such a bunch is a relief from the mo- notony of valley bouquets and no less reflects the skill of the florist. Those who make their valley bouquets to resem- ble a head of cauliflower can achieve an equally "bunchy" effect with dai- sies. Also, with daisies it is just as difficult to get a light and airy effect without permitting the bouquet to be- 0, •?.. f- ■.■*'■,•• ■■;? i^'^.^.i'-t-"*-*' *v* ^ ^aiMk -■■"'.^- W^ L ^ - BBCTw I'^^^^b.^L ^ ■ ' . , ■>.

One of the surest ways to cause peo- ple to want a thing is to make them be- lieve that everybody else who is any- body at all has that thing. In this wide world there is no other way of creating an impression so sure in its results as newspaper advertising. A strong advertisement in your lead- ing local paper will go into the ma- jority of the best homes in your city, and the right suggestion will bring you business in spite of any ukase by school managements, prohibiting the sending of flowers to commencements. If the school prohibits the use of flowers on graduation day, w^hat stronger argument could there be for sending flowers to the graduates at their homes? The graduate of such a school is doubly to be congratulated. Eeproduced herewith is an advertise- ment employed last June by F. H. Kramer at Washington, D. C, that will serve as a model for other advertising along this line. Get something of the kind into your best local daily just before your local school commencements. Don't feel disappointment if you find your competitors also advertising for the same occasion. Remember that the greater publicity given the use of flow- ers, the more flowers there will be used. FLOWEBS AT A BRIDGE PARTY. One of the largest affairs of the sea- son at San Francisco was the luncheon and bridge party given by Mrs. Eosen- felt to 122 guests May 16, in the white and gold room of the Hotel St. Francis. The decorations, for originality and ef- fectiveness, would be well worth de- scribing. The guests were seated at one table, 114 feet long by twelve feet wide, which had been skillfully transformed into a miniature garden by Julius Epp- stein, the florist of the hotel. In the center of the garden, surmount- ing a mossy slope, an electric fountain played myriad-colored jets of water into a large pool, in which goldfish disported themselves, while around the fountain, and scattered through the trees and foliage, cranes, doves, pheasants and birds of many hues and varieties were to be seen. Cunningly-hidden cages, with warbling canaries, added to the scene. Paths wound through the gar- den, over bridges, through beds of elec- trically lighted pink tulips and past rustic houses, where automatic dolls, seated at tables on the lawn and stroll- ing through shady dells, were most real- istic. The general scheme was delicate pink KRAMERS Flowers are ALL year round favorites— but particularly popu- lar during the month of June. Dreary indeed must be the heart of that fair girl graduate who is not remembered on Graduation Day with copious quantities of flowers. You will be sure to delight her if the flowers you send are from KRAMER'S The artistic arrangement of Bridal Bouquets is made a specialty by KRAMER. The prices are as pleasing to the purchaser as the flowers will prove pleasing to the recipient. KRAMER T3he FLORIST Who Grows His Own Flowers 916 F Street N. W. 72 2 9th St. N. W.

Begonia Lorraine, beds of daisies, sweet peas, shaded nooks of maidenhair, pteris and other ferns, Japanese cedars in rocky slopes, rolling lawns and statu- ary. Each guest was the recipient of a corsage of Cattleya Mendellii. After luncheon, the guests assembled in the colonial ballroom, which had been converted into a delightful woodland scene, where tall kentia palms grace- fully towered over baskets of Wood- wardia ferns and odd-shaped vases of hawthorn. Twenty-seven bridge tables were arranged throughout and the win- ners received parasols as prizes. F. MOTHEES' DAY AT CALGABY. Your suggestion through the columns of The Review in regard to getting local papers to give a write-up about Mothers' day certainly had the proper effect. I sent a letter to each of our local papers, which I found were only too glad to devote a part of their paper to. The results the florists of our city had were great — every cut bloom to be had was sold. First the white, then the colored sold; light pink, dark pink, then red. I think it would be a good idea to try to convince the public that a light colored flower would do as well as pure white. Trade in this part of world very good. T. W. Campbell. A DUPLICATED MOTHERS' DAY. That the idea embodied in the ob- servance of Mothers' day makes a strong appeal to the general public and wins a quick response, is well illus- trated by the experience of Annie E. Newell, a florist at 78 Main street, Houlton, Me. The idea, when proclaimed by her in the community, obtained such swift popularity as to be highly profit- able to her. In fact, she celebrated this year's Mothers' day twice, at two dif- ferent dates, and each time success- fully— "thanks to The Eeview," she says. She advertised colored flowers for mothers still living, white flowers in memory of departed mothers, and as a consequence she disposed of every flower on hand, even selling geranium blooms for boutonnieres. Then the people of two neighboring towns heard of the "new day," and instantly resolved that they, not to be outdone in well-doing, would observe Mothers' day on the following Sunday. The thought of Mothers' day had cap- tivated them and they were not to be baffled by the mere fact that the ap- pointed day had passed; nor would they wait twelve months for the return of the occasion. So May 15 was Mothers' day in those two towns, and a secoiv^ opportunity was thus supplied for extra sales. Besides the cut blooms, many nice potted plants were also bought as gifts for mothers. FATHERS' DAY. One of the interesting, though per- haps to be expected, results of the way Mothers ' day has grasped the sentiment of the people is the proposal that we now have Fathers' day. The sugges- tion comes from the mothers or daugh- ters. Here is one from Miss Anna L. Sherwood, daughter of John M. Sher- wood, of the Neosho Florist Co., Neo- sho, Mo.: "Attention being drawn to mothers' day, this thought came to mind: We Mav 26, 1910.

Hut it looks a little sad— -blithe bonnuets made for mother. Not a bloom for pore ole dad. True, our mother watched above us, 'J 111 her dear old eyes would ache, But old dad he humped to feed us Till his back would nearly break; Mother cro<)ned above the cradle. Gave devotion, all she had, Still that wasn't any circus At this time for pore ole dad! Do not take one line from mother When ye write the soul-sweet song, But if there's a word for father Now and then It won't be wrong. Pore old soul! He's bent and wrinkled, -*^n' I know 'twould make him glad. It while you are praisln' mother Sometbln's said for pore ole dad. The Review is pleased with the won- <1erful success of Mothers' day and proud of the fact, that many florists who profited by it give credit — perhaps even more than is due — to this paper for having awakened the trade to its possibilities; but as to Fathers' day — well, the compiler of the Mothers' day column is a father, not a mother; that may account for an inability to enthuse over this latest suggestion while enter- ing whole-heartedly into the one "in honor of the best mother who ever lived — our own." FALMEB'S COMET. The Main street store of W. J. Palmer & Sons, Buffalo, has been the scene of many an attractive and novel window decoration, but none ever has achieved the success of the display which has been on the last few days. The accompanying illustration is repro- duced from a remarkably good photo- graph, considering that the picture was made through the glass. It gives a quit© fair idea of how successful the attempt has been to take advantage of the wide popular interest in Halley's comet. The world is shown as a globe of moss, with the western hemisphere worked out in flowers, changed each day. On the day the picture was taken North and South Aftierica were in Kil- larney roses, but the next day they were in pansies and a different flower has been used each morning. The comet was represented by a ball of carna- tions, and those who say they have been unable to see the tail of the real comet have had no such complaint to make of Palmer's — for streiching be hind it is a big streamer of chiffon. It will be recalled that on Wednesday, May 18, the comet passed the earth. Prior to that time the globe was on the west side of the window and the comet in the east. As the real comet progressed, so did its representation in the window, moving gradually until in the evening it had passed the earth and was streaming away to the west, leaving the earth behind. The window was the work of W. H. Grever, who has charge of the window displays in the Palmer stores. NAME OF PLANT. Kindly tell me what the enclosed leaf is from. The plant sends up new shoots each year, but has had nothing but leaves for the last five years. W. B. Send a portion of wood with the leaf and we ca^^ probably name it for you. Is it a herbaceous perennial, tree or shrub f C. W. Bockville, Conn. — William Moran, formerly with Thomas F. Galvin, in Boston, has taken a position with the Rockville Floral Co. Helena, Mont.— The Helena Flower Show Association was recently organ- ized by women of this city. The asso- ciation is planning to hold a flower show here this summer, and will also encourage the beautification of homes \y offering prizes for the most attract- ive yard. 8 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ May 2C, I'JIO.

Water freely while the crop is in growth, but give less wa- ter for a few weeks after the crop is cut, until the new growth starts. If a permanent bed of asparagus is wanted, for the production of strings, it should have a good layer of drainage in the bottom, and then be filled to a depth of at least one foot with rich compost, giving the plants rather more room than has been suggested for smilax, say 12x 12 inches. After the plants get to growing they will take heavier mulch- ing than the smilax, for Asparagus plu- mosus is a gross feeder and will also take plenty of water, both overhead and at the root. In regard to temperature and shading, it may be treated the same as the smilax. If the asparagus plants are to be grown for sprays only, they may be planted out on a bench containing five to six inches of soil. If given a mulch- ing from time to time, as the manure is washed in and exhausted, they will stand thus for two seasons, but the deep bed, if well watered, will stand without replanting for six to eight years. Red spiders and thrips are the most troublesome insects on these plants. The spiders are kept down by vigorous syringing, and the thrips by spraying with nicotine solution. W. H. T. Derry, N.

The Weekly Florists' Review* u "Dee-lightedr [Theodore Roosevelt. ex-President of the United States, and E. H. KrelaKe, President of the Haarlem Bulb Growers' Association, making a tour of the Jubilee Bulb Show. Haarlem, Holland, May 1. 1910.] ROOSEVELT VISITS HAARLEM. Jubilee Exhibition. Mr. Roosevelt, on his European tour, visited the Haarlem Jubilee Exhibition May 1. President Krelage welcomed Mr. Roosevelt as the hundred thousandth vis- itor and presented him with a silver model of an ancient ship, which he re- marked might pass for the Half-Moon or the Mayflower, for nobody knew ex- actly how they looked and therefore the reproduction might be taken as a most accurate imitation of either. Neither the Half-Moon nor the Mayflower had tulips aboard and Mr. Krelage suggested the total abolition of the duty on bulbs, insisting that the abolition of the duty ^vould be to the profit of all American citizens, since they would be able to have cheap flowers in every garden. Flowers were the symbols of love and faith and peace, and the more the flowers of Hol- land were spread over the world, the more they would be mighty cooperators, elo- quent interpreters and active propagan- dists of Mr. Roosevelt's noble ideas, to benefit humanity. Mr. Roosevelt, in his reply, kept clear of the duty question and paid a tribute to Dutch ability to combine hard work \nth appreciation of the beautiful, and added that Americans, working so hard in the past, felt that in case of necessity enjoyment mudt be sacrificed to work. Speech-making over, Mr. Roosevelt en- joyed himself in the exhibition grounds, Mr. Krelage explaining the objects of the exhibition and directing attention to the main features. At the time of my last report, the prin- cipal attractions were in the buildings, but May 1 the outdoor exhibits were probably at their best, notably the nar- cissi from De Graaflf Bros., Leiden, which included a number of new varieties, such as Golden Jubilee, a splendid giant yel- low ; Uncle Robert, a remarkably large white, and Princess Juliana, a refined deep yellow. The Heemstede Association of Bulb Growers produced a lovely effect with beds of hyacinths, as did also the Lisse Association with hyacinths and tulips. N. Dames, of Lisse, was a most successful exhibitor with beds of hyacinths, includ- ing a bed of a new deep rose-colored variety, Le Victoire, edged with another novelty, Arentine H. Arendsen, a pretty, dwarf-growing white. Creditable displays of beds of bulbs in variety were also in full bloom from M. Van Waveren & Son, Hillegom; J. J. Grullemans & Sons, Lisse; Warnaar & Co., Sassenheim; S. A. Van Konijnenberg & Co., Noordwijk, and Ant. Roosen & Son, Haarlem. The most notable exhibits of shrubs and conifers were from C. B. Van Nes & Sons, Boskoop, especially their new rhododendron, Princess Juliana; Kers- bergen Bros., Boskoop, a choice collec- tion of seedling azaleas; We?elenburg & Co., Hazerswoude, forced flowering shrubs in variety, and J. Hardizer, Boskoop, rhododendrons and conifers. C. G. Van Tubergen, Jr., Haarlem, re- ceived the highest gold medal awarded at the second temporary show, for a pretty flower garden with beds of Darwin tulips, colored freesias, anemones, liliums, etc. Other notable features were the rhodo- dendrons from Koster & Son, Boskoop; amaryllis from Van Velsen Bros, and A. W. Ingenhoes Van Schaik; superb hy- drangeas from D. Baardze, Aalsmeer, and lilies from D. & J. Keesen, Aalsmeer. Kersbergen Bros, made a grand dis- play with the polyantha rose, Boskoop Baby, as did also A. Van Deyl with Azalea Indica. Oosthoek & Co.'s hollies from Boskoop, in various sizes, were re- markable for the profusion of berries which they carried. The foregoing are only a few of the exhibits to be seen at this remarkable exhibition, which for variety, extent and duration has probably never been equaled by any exhibition solely devoted to horti- culture.

MRS. E. M. GILL. A lilc of reniarkablo activity and still in active Liisiiu'ss as a llorist at the ago of so vcavs — still wide-awake and pro- gressive! Such is the record of Mrs. E. M. Gill, of IMedford, Mass. Some idea of Ihe extent of her activities may be gathered from the fact that she is an earnest member of these various socie- ties: Massachusetts Horticultural Soci- ety, New England Dahlia Society, Gar- deners' and Elorists' (Jlub of Boston, Floral Eml)lem Society, Women's Relief (-'oi ps of Medford, Sarah Bradlee Fulton clia[)ter of D. A. R., S. C. Lawrence Re- lief Corps No. 5, Medford Visiting Xurs(>s' Association, J^adies' Aid Asso- ciation of the Soldiers' Home in Chel- sea, and ^ledford Historical Society. She has been chosen several times as delegate for the W. E. C. to the national eii(am]iments of the G. A. R. The (ianleners' and Florists' Club of lii>stlanteil in May or June and carefully trained to the strings. A light shading is bene ficial during the hot weather and may be readily applied with a syringe, using either one of the mixtures of whiting and oil or even whitewash. After the plants are nicely established the growth will be helped bv giving them a mulch ing of short manure to a depth of about an inch, and this may be repeated for each crop that is cut from the bed, the usual course being to cut three crops per year from a bed. Syringe daily in bright weather and keep a night temperature of CO degreet through the winter. Water freely while the crop is in growth, but give less wa ter for a few weeks after the crop is cut, until the new growth starts. If a permanent bed of asparagus is wanted, for the production of strings, it should have a good layer of drainage in the bottom, and then be filled to a depth of at least one foot with rich compost, giving the plants rather more room than has been suggested for smilax, say 12x 12 inches. After the plants get to growing they will take heavier mulch ing than the smilax, for Asparagus plu mosus is a gross feeder and will also take plenty of water, both overhead and at the root. In regard to temperature and shading, it may be treated the same as the smilax. If the asparagus jdants are to be grown for sprays only, they may be planted out on a bench containing five to six inches of soil. If given a mulch ing from time to time, as the manure is washed in and exhausted, they will stand thus for two seasons, but the deep bed, if well watered, will stand without replanting for six to eight years. Red spiders and thrips are the most troublesome insects on these jdants. The spiders are kept down by vigorous syringing, and the thrips by spraying with nicotine solution. W. H, T. Derry, N.

The season of incubation is now over, and little trouble need be feared until an- other spring. Remedies innumerable have been tried against this pest, which lays its eggs in the base of the young growths, as indicated by their having a much swollen appearance. Persistent fumigations will kill some flies on the wing. Fly papers stood here and there arrest a few. Hypodermic injections have been tried, but avail little. The most radical but at the same time the best remedy la cutting out the infested growths as they appear. It seems a cruel, murderous procedure and may seri- ously cripple many plants, but if the pest is to be controlled, it must be done. It is a sorrowful task each day to cut away quarts of promising growths, but stern necessity demands it, unless an en- tire house or collection is to be ruined. Th<^ pest usually comes on C. labiata. This and C. Trianse suffer the most, but C. Mossise, Mendellii, gigas and some other varieties are also attacked. Lselias, such as elegans, purpurata and anceps, and such cattleyas as Skinneri, Bowrin- i^eana and Harrisonise are rarely attacked. it pays to have an eagle eye on young growths, and whenever one appears extra thick at the base, cut it off, and on cut- ting open you will probably find the larvae or occasionally flies themselves enclosed. FEEDING OBCHIDS. No two growers will be found whose opinions on feeding orchids agree. Some condemn it entirely; others go to the opposite extreme and overdo it, produc- ing nice plants which elicit temporary applause for the grower, but disappear in a comparatively short time. All terrestrial orchids, such as are found growing in mother earth, will be benefited by the judicious use of liquid stimulants. Included among these are: Calanthes, phaius — each of these likes doses of cow or sheep manure water when growing; thunias, coelogynes, espe- cially the varieties cristata, Massange- ana, baroata and Dayana; cypripedi- ums, practically all varieties; sobralias, cymbidiums, zygopetalums, lycastes and brassias. Dendrobiums, when growing, especially the more robust sorts, like an occasional weak dose of manure wa- ter. Odontoglossums are better without it, as are most of the oncidiums, but all the vandas, aerides, saccolabiums and other robust, so-called East Indian or- chids are benefited by feeding, provided they have plenty of good roots to take it up. Phalsenopsis are better supplied with clear water, although one or two growers have found manure water ben- eficial. Coming to cattleyas, opinions are as wide apart as the poles. Some splendid growers never feed at all; others believe that good growths are impossible with- out it. In England and on the Euro- pean continent the feeding of cattleyas, Iselias, odontoglossums, etc., is generally condemned, although the late Norman C. Cookson found that ammonium phos- phate and potassium nitrate in water, forming what is commonly known as the Cookson Formula, greatly improved his plants. Some American growers have had good success with the Cookson Formula on a variety of orchids; others are afraid to try it, or have tried and abandoned it. American and European conditions are quite different. Our sum- mers are much hotter, necessitating much more frequent waterings, and practically all plants will benefit by more feeding here than there, especially under glass. Our experience has been that all cat- tleyas, laelias, Iselio-cattleyas and other bigeneric hybrids of a similar nature are improved by occasional weak appli- cations of salts or cow manure at in- tervals of eight to ten days during the growing season, when such plants are well rooted and in a condition to utilize the food supplied; especially is this the case with the most robust growing vari- eties. Feeding must be done with due care or a lot of harm will result. Do not entrust the work to anybody, but either do it yourself or see that it is properly done. One heavy dose, care- lessly applied, may easily upset a whole year's painstaking labors. OYPEIPEDIUMS. Cypripedium insigne does best in a cool house. One with a north aspect is suitable, but where this is not at com- mand, coldframes are excellent. The growth made here is much stockier than when the plants are kept in a house a considerable distance from the glass. In addition to the insigne varieties, that useful variety, Leeanum, villosum, Spi- cerianum, Sallieri, and the one-time lost variety, Fairieanum, do well under frame culture. The advantage of getting all the plants close to the light, abundant ventilation and ease in syringing or wa- tering should commend this mode of sum- mer culture to many. CARNATIONS IN OLD SOIL. I have two benches which I filled last fall with two inches of cow manure and four inches of new soil. These benches were planted with sweet peas and were dried off after the first crop of flowers was picked. Can I grow carnations suc- cessfully in this soil this season f H. J. H. One can not tell a great deal about the condition of soil without seeing it. I would say that if the soil in question appears to be in a live, mellow condi- tion, it will likely do to grow carnations in. If you find that it lacks in fertility you can add later whatever it seems to need. I would not allow this soil to become powder-dry. Sprinkle a light coat of good ashes or slaked lime on it and spade it over every three or four weeks. Water enough to keep it just moist, but do not flood it at any time after it has been broken up. A good plan would be to break it up well and then cover it thinly with old stable litter, to prevent rapid evapora- tion. But do not put this on heavily enough to exclude all air. What you want to do is to thoroughly aerate it to get it into good mechanical condi- tion, and this is done best by frequent handling. A. F. J. B. HOG MANUEE IN COMPOST. Will there be any risk in using manure from a feed yard that was used for both cattle and hogsf The cattle manure seems pretty well rotted, but the hog manure is till rank enough to give the characteristic odor, and quite strongly; so I judge there is a considerable pro- portion of it. I had intended to use this in mixing our carnation soil. Our soil is naturally rather sandy, but is fine-grained and smooth soil. I ant not sure whether hog manure is a safe proposition and should like expert advice. W. H. C. There is no risk in using this manure, provided the compost is made in good season, chopped up after lying for two weeks and turned over every ten days un- til placed on the bench. -This will thor- oughly incorporate the constituents and give ample time and opportunity for the escape of any deleterious elements. BiBES. JOKE. To the newcomer or green workman the florist said, as he laid down a bunch of 36-inch Beauties: "Make these stemr twenty- four inches." He did, just as carefully as possible, measuring them with a yardstick — from the stem toward the flower! Bockville, Conn. — William Moran, formerly with Thomas F.

If not already done, you should spare help to plant out your own geranium stock for future propagation. There are many things of which a few small plants will suffice, even if not put out until the Fourth of July, but with the most im- portant of all summer bedding plants, the geranium, this will not do. If you expect a big lot of healthy cuttings in September or October you must plant out healthy, vigorous plants now and give them plenty of room. Geraniums are usually planted about one foot apart. At this distance they make a mass of leaf and bloom, but the growth is too much drawn up to be strong, and on your own place for stock they are better at least eighteen inches apart, and get them growing well. More than once we have seen some excellent variety sell entirely out. This is bad management. If they had been in the ground, with flowers and buds picked off, you would have been all right for the future. PLANTINO LAWN BEDS. Just a word about the operation of planting our flower beds. If it is a bed of geraniums or cannas with some edging and it amounts to enough to be worth while, we would rather one of our expe- rienced men should do it for our cus- tomers, as results will be better, both for immediate appearance and future welfare. We sometimea find that the planting is not the only thing to do, for the bed is still as it was left last fall. The dig- ging should never be done without charge. With small plants like echeverias, san- tolinas and alternantheras it is a simple thing to squeeze the plants into the soft ground. A good sprinkling with the hose will start them going and a slight stir- ring of the soil before it is quite dry 'vill prevent the soil from baking. This method, however, is not always satisfac- tory with larger plants, such as fine flow- ering geraniums. It is time and labor "■ell spent to make a hole of ample size, put in the plant and enough soil to sur- round the ball and give it a good firm- '?g, but do not fill up the little excava- tion. Water each plant thoroughly. You Know then that the ball of roots and the ground immediately around the ball are well saturated. In a few minutes the water has soaked away and then fill in with the dry earth you took out with the trowel. That will act as a mulch and be worth five waterings on the surface. Many flower beds are foolishly rounded up and in that case it is difllcult to water on the surface and get it to penetrate. A soaking would wash the loose soil onto the grass and not thoroughly wet all the roots. This plan may and does take a 'ittle longer, but it is work well done. The RiviEW can supply any horticul- tural books at publishers' prices. THE COMPOST HEAP. The last half of May is a strenuous one for all florists, and it is difficult to adequately keep abreast of all work demanding attention. It is a far too common practice to see compost heaps prepared in late fall or early spring hidden from view by masses of rank weeds, and many a time have we seen a scythe used to mow them down so that an opening could be made in the pile. Common sense must tell us that when we allow weeds to thus overgrow valuable bench compost much of its value must be exhausted. There are no doubt many other duties pressing, but a boy will clean off a big compost pile in a few hours, and it will be labor well expended. See that it is not neglected. We will soon be filling the benches for chrysanthemums, for roses and for carnations, where they are grown under glass in summer, and the compost, in addition to being freed from weeds, should be chopped down and turned over. Presuming that a goodly propor- tion of cow or horse manure was added to the sod in the late fall, it will need no addition now, unless it be some fine bone. This is excellent for chrysanthe- mums, but some growers of roses and carnations are not so sure of its bene- fits in the soil; in fact, some well- known carnationists are doubting if bone pays for itself. Our own opinion is that if added some time before using the compost it is helpful. We disap- prove, however, of mixing it in at planting time. BEPAIBING BENCHES. The passing of Memorial day and the steadily decreasing numbers of bedding plants now gives us considerable bench room. Unless we are fortunate enough to have cement benches, now being rec- ognized as the bench of the future, and costing no more than wood, especially when their imperishable character is con- sidered, there will always be some re- pairing to be done when the benches have been emptied. Use the old car- nation or rose soil for top-dressing the grass land, or spread it where it can be plowed under. After doing all need- ful repairing and thoroughly cleaning out the benches as well as all collected dirt below them, give them a good whitewashing, using hot, freshly slaked lime. On new benches a coating of crude oil will act as a preservative and is not injurious to plant growth in any way, but avoid using any of the -tar mixtures. None of them is fit to use on the inside of the benches. While cleaning the benches, do not forget the roofs of the houses. If you have no time to paint them, use the hose on them freely and let them have a good scrubbing. This will insure a lot more light. Speaking of benches and bench material, if you have not tried pecky cypress yet, do so. Its appearance may not enthuse you, but of its lasting quah- ties many a big grower will testify. ^♦^^^'♦^^'♦^.'<^?lv'»^.'»^.'^^.'^r»>'^^.'^»^.''yf»i'-yr»)'^ SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS I Hardy Boses. Remove all sucker growths of Man- etti or briars from hybrid perpetuals or hybrid teas, or they will speedily weaken and eventually kill out the roses themselves. As buds are now ap- pearing, the rose slug or leaf -roller will be getting in its work, and it is sur- prising how much damage it can do in a day or two. Hellebore dusted on the foliage while damp will clean out the leaf-roller. If rain washes it off, a sec- ond application may be needed. For aphis nothing is better than kerosene emulsion. Where the hose can be used with plenty of pressure, this in itself will keep the plants clean. To secure good flowers, commence disbudding as soon as the buds are of sufficient size to handle. Hardy roses can hardly be overwatered and in dry weather an occasional soaking will wonderfully im- prove them. Peonies. While peonies bloom at Memorial day in some sections, they are a June flower in many states, and without them we would lose one of our most valuable June decorative flowers. Like roses^ they enjoy lots of moisture and, now that the buds on the herbaceous sorta are showing, a scattering of some quick working chemical like nitrate of soda among them will be of benefit. Attend to disbudding before the flower buds get too large. If you are anxious for some late flowers on any particular va- rieties, pinch out the central and leave one of the side buds. The latter will bloom some days later. Oatdoor Flower Crops. While May has been a little more generous than the two preceding months with its rainfall, in important parts of the country it is not equal to normal, and it behooves us to assist in every possible way in conserving such moist- ure as falls from the heavens. After each rain, before the ground gets a chance to dry out too much, far less bake, get out the cultivator and stir the soil about all growing crops. You cannot overdo the tickling of the surface soil. If at any time out of a job, go to cal- 14 The Weekly Florists' Review* Max 26, 1910. tivating. Half the success in growing crops is to keep a mulch of fine soil on the surface all the time. The plants show almost immediate benefit, as any- one can readily see by comparing patches of cultivated and surface baked crops. Canterbury Bells. If Canterbury bells were not sown in late spring when advised, the present is a good time to get in a batch of seed. The double varieties have heavy, clumsy flowers, but the single and hose- in-hose, or calycanthema types are fine, either for pot or garden culture. By the way, what beautiful subjects these are for Memorial day in pots! They are so easily grown and bloom so pro- fusely that the wonder is they are seen 80 little. At Easter, if late, they can be flowered nicely, but to see them in all their glory hold them cool and flower for Memorial day. In 8-inch to 10-inch pots they make magnificent specimens, carrying a wealth of flowers. Sow the seeds in a coldframe. Cover with sashes and keep shaded until the seedlings appear. Eemove the sashes as soon as the second leaves appear. Transplant to open ground during cool, damp weather, allowing nine inches be- tween each seedling. Sowing Perennials. When the frames are cleared of bed- ding plants, we have a good opportun- ity to get in a batch of perennial seeds, if their sowing has not yet been done. More and more perennials are wanted every year, and every country florist should prepare to meet this demand. if you for any reason neglect trans- planting them for a week or two after they are ready, they will become almost useless. Some of these perennials will flower the first season. All will flower the following year. There are some specially good and easily raised varie- ties which should now be sown. Aquile- gias, digitalis, Pyrethrum roseum, Shasta daisies, delphiniums in variety, Alyssum saxatile, asters. Coreopsis grandiflora. Campanula persicifolia, hi- biscus, physostegia, sweet william, lychnis, gypsophila, Papaver orientale, GailJardia grandiflora and many other varieties are among them. It is rather too early yet to make any sowings of such subjects as hollyhocks, pansies, myosotis and double daisies. Bambler Boses in Pots. Field plants of the rambler roses, pot- tea some weeks ago, are now growing quite strongly. As the number of shoots after four exceeds what is nec- essary, it is better to disbud them, leaving three or four of the strongest to each pot. Keep the plants under glass for some time yet, and as the growths advance, give them supports. This pot culture may entail more labor, but such plants, being fit to force at any time after January, respond much more readily than such as are dug up and potted late in the fall. Left-Over Azaleas. Any left-over azaleas should now be planted outdoors. They do not need shade. They will make far more flower buds in the full sun. Plant firmly and endeavor to locate them so that they Euonymus Radicans. Of course, plants can be bought from big specialists at moderate rates, but it is possible to raise hundreds of thou- sands of seedlings at so low a cost that the wonder is that more are not sown. Any light soil is suitable for perennial seed, and after sowing they should be kept moist and shaded, until they are well started. Avoid sowing thickly, for can be hosed over every day, and in hot weather twice a day is better. While ground containing a good pro- portion of leaf-mold, sand and old de- cayed manure is fine for azaleas, they will grow all right in any good garden soil. Be sure all seeds are removed be- fore planting out. Ericas, such as melanthera, Caffra, densa, gracilis, hyemalis and others, are better planted out like the azaleas, and similar treatment answers well for camellias, Daphne Indica, Diosma eri- coides and other hard-wooded plants. All enjoy frequent syringings. EUONYMUS BADICANS. Among climbing plants, one not as largely used as its merits seem to justify is Euonymus radicans, a low, procumbent shrub, with often trailing and rooting or climbing branches, which sometimes grow twenty or more feet high. It is ever- green and fairly hardy, giving excellent satisfaction as a cover for walls, rocks or trunks of trees. Good soil is a great ad- vantage. It is rather slow growing, but once established is excellent for many purposes. The accompanying illustration is from a photograph of a New England residence on which Euonymus radicans is climbing. THE WORK AT CORNELL. [An abstract of an address before the New York Florists' Club, May 10, 1910, by John Craig, Professor of Horticulture at Cornell Uni- versity. ] In his opening remarks. Professor Craig drew a contrast between the flori- cultural conditions which prevail in Eu- rope and in this country. In Europe these interests are largely fostered by the amateur. In America the commercial florist dominates. In the nature of things, and as time goes on, it is inevitable that interest in floriculture will spread among the masses and that the number of ama- teurs, therefore, will largely increase. On the other hand, commercial interests are bound to extend also, for the reason that the ability of the American people to satisfy their desires for the luxuries of life is unsurpassed by any other nation. By taste and ability they are purchasers of high class products. The florist caters to the aesthetic side of human nature, and his market will increase as culture and purchasing ability become a part of the make-up of the American people. New York, said the speaker, stands pre- eminent in her horticultural position in the United States. In floriculture she occupies first place. In the production of nursery-grown plants, she leads all other states. In the production of fruit prod- ucts other than citrus fruits, she also holds first place. This is most gratify- ing and gives the horticulturists of the Empire State a feeling of responsibility and pride. Problems Arising. As any industry depending upon soil and climatic conditions becomes special- ized, it takes on, of necessity, artificial phases. As these become pronounced, dif- ficulties are likely to arise. Intensive culture is always likely to be followed by troubles which do not appear under nor- mal conditions; but the game always is worth the candle, for the returns are great in proportion to the effort put forth. The commercial florist is the most in- tensive farmer in the world. He often has more capital invested in an acre of land under glass than the farmer may have in his 160 acres of outdoors. The commercial florist is an exceedingly busy man, and has no time to spend in ex- perimenting or testing methods. If a method does not bring him success, or a variety is beset by parasitical enemies, he changes his method or drops this variety. What the florist of New York needs at the present time is an equipment con- May 26, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 15 ducted for the purpose of solving these diflSculties which meet him from time to time. Experiments in floriculture at Cornell have, by force of circumstances, been largely confined to field work. This is due to lack of greenhouse equipment. Important results have been obtained in connection with the study and growth of certain of the important florists' crops. Peony Studies. As an example, the speaker cited the cooperative peony study now going on between the American Peony Society and the Department of Horticulture. The peony plots comprise some 1,200 or more varieties of this plant. The study, which was commenced in 1904, is being steadily continued and its progress has been marked by the publication, first, of a peony check-list containing all names and citations of peony varieties; and, second, by a bulletin giving the history, botany and classification of varieties, to- gether with an authentic description of a number of kinds best known to the trade. At the present time a third pub- lication is going through the press. This will be available to peony growers in two or three weeks, and it will contain accurate and popular descriptions of over 200 varieties which have been studied on the Cornell Experiment Station grounds and on the grounds of two of the more prominent peony specialists of the coun- try. In dahlias and chrysanthemums, ex- haustive studies have been made and re- ports published, which the floricultural public have appreciated. Sweet Pea Studies. Some ten years ago, sweet pea studies were commenced at Cornell and as a re- sult of these two bulletins were pub- lished. Last year marked the organiza- tion of a National Sweet Pea Society, and the Cornell Department of Horticul- ture was glad to cooperate with this society to the extent of taking charge of its trial grounds. At the present time these grounds contain some 600 varieties of sweet peas gathered from the four corners of the horticultural world. A thorough monographic study will be made of this group of plants, and it is hoped tLat a publication of large value tvill be available at the close of the season. Forcing Plants. In the line of indoor work, or work under glass, experiments have been con- y the speaker is being continued by I'rofessor Judson, on narcissi, hyacinths, tulips^ Spanish iris, lilies, gladioli and •ily of the valley. In the case of nar- cissi the greatest maximum gain of six- teen days was secured. "With hyacinths, 'he greatest gain was four days. With fifteen varieties of tulips the greatest gain was five days, while with lily of the valley the greatest gain of etherized over unetherized pips was four days. In addi- tion to the hastening of the flowering pe- riod, ^ a considerable gain in height in etherized over unetherized was also se- cured. Former experiments with artificial light Begonia Incarnata, Sander's Improved Form. have shown that acetylene, which closely approximates in spectrum analysis the rays of the sun, has important values in the forcing of crops during the dark months. The investigations have been suspended, owing to insufficient glass house equipment, but will be resumed this year, and the Tungsten light will be com- pared with acetylene for the forcing of crops. The speaker cited many other experi- ments which should be conducted by way of emphasizing the necessity of investi- gation on behalf of the florists. Among these were fertilizers in the growing of greenhouse crops, special methods in the forcing of flowering shrubs, as, for in- stance, the use of carbonic dioxide gas. methods of sterilizing greenhouse soils, methods of fumigating greenhouses with poisonous gases, the breeding of florists' crops for special purposes, the use and application of flower dyes and the mono- graphic study of important, but little known, groups of plants.

BEGONIA INOABNATA. Begonia incarnata is an old and val- uable winter-flowering plant. The vari- ety grandiflora, known also as Sander's improved incarnata, has flowers double the size of the older form and is a better thing in every respect. When first shown before the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, the improved variety was award- ed a well deserved first-class certificate. It was raised by Charles Sander, for many years in charge of Prof. C. S. Sar- gent's beautiful estate at Holm Lea, Brookline, Mass., and one of the most skilful all-round gardeners we have in America. Mr. Sander is particularly suc- cessful in the raising, by various meth- ods, of plants generally regarded as diflS- eult subjects. B. incarnata comes in season a little later than B. Gloire de Lorraine and is not at its best until January and Feb- ruary. It is of much more vigorous habit than Gloire de Lorraine and of comparatively easy propagation. Plants done blooming, if headed back, will soon give an abundant supply of succulent shoots, which are easily rooted, and, if taken in April or May, will make nice plants in 5-inch or 6-inch pots the fol- lowing winter. Old plants, cut back, can also be planted outdoors in rich soil about the end of May and lifted about the middle of September. A cool house grows this begonia best, 48 to 50 degrees at night being sufficient. For compost, soil which will grow good mums or car- nations suits this begonia. As a house plant B. incarnata is far preferable to B. Gloire de Lorraine, hold- ing its flowers much longer. Personally, I consider it much the most useful bego- nia on a private estate, and have often wondered why one with such sterling merits has so far been practically ignored commercially. The illustration shows one plant of a large batch of this begonia grown by Daniel Whyte, head gardener to Win- throp Ames, of North Easton, Mass., who is a successful grower of fibrous- rooted begonias in general.

These lines of ' k have been in progress for some 's and are being prosecuted further tie present time. In the etherization !»ulbs this year the work commenced the speaker is being continued by fessor Judson, on narcissi, hyacinths, 'ips, Spanish iris, lilies, gladioli and y of the valley. In the case of nar- -si the greatest maximum gain of six- • n (lays was secured. With hyacinths, '- greatest gain was four days. With ■ftoen varieties of tulips the greatest -iiin was five days, while with lily of the '■'iloy the greatest gain of etherized over "etherized pips was four days. In addi- ^' 'n to the hastening of the flowering -pe- "'od. a considerable gain in height in therized over unetherized was also se- cured.

The speaker cited many other experi- ments which should be conducted liy way of emphasizing tlu^ necessity of investi- gation on behalf of the florists. Among these were fertilizers in the growing of greeiiliouse crops, sjiecial methods in the forcing of flowering shrubs, as, for in- stance, the use of carlioiiii' dioxide gas. methods of sterilizing greenhouse soils, methods of fumigating greenhouses with poisonous gases, the breeding of florists' crops for special purposes, the use and application of flower dyes and the mono- graphic study of important, but little known, groups of plants. These lines would be inaugurated as soon as war- ranted by the extension of present glass house equipment. Professor Craig pointed out that all bulletins of the Experiment Station at Cornell, whether bearing upon horticul- tural matters or other studies, were free and available to New York florists and usually to florists of any part of the country.

Lind- sey says trade is better this spring than ever, the popular appreciation of flow- ers having increased at a notable rate, until it seems that now every family in the community buys of the florist. A large amount of business has been booked for Memorial day. Kansas City, Kan. — J. F. Ephraimson has purchased the business of James Brough, at the old Holmes stand, 812 Minnesota avenue. Mr. Ephraimson himself is an experienced florist, and he also retains as his assistant Miss Maude Ferguson, whose skill in design and decoration work has been known in this store for years. Worcester, Mass. — At the last exhibi- tion of the Worcester County Horticul- tural Society, held in Horticultural hall, May 19, pansies and lilies of the valley were the principal features, and the showing of pansies was considered the best for several seasons. Secretary Adin A. Hixon acted as superintendent, as usual. The next exhibition will be held on Thursday, June 9. Mount Clemens, Mich. — August Von Boeselager is putting in more of the tile benches this year. Newville, Pa. — D. E.

Y. — The carnations in the greenhouses of Caldwell & Jesper- son are in fine shape, and the firm says good prices are being realized for them in the New York market. The young stock was all planted out before May 10, the weather having been favorable for the work. San Antonio, Tex.— George Holts has purchased two acres of ground in the outskirts of this city and will grow roses and carnations, principally for cut flowers. He also expects to grow some eggplant, tomato and pepper plants, for which there is a good market here, pro- vided they are extra early. Besides these, he will have a good stock of tube- roses, narcissi and hyacinths. Cape Girardeau, Mo.— Chas. H. Gel ven, formerly of the firm of Gelven & Son, at Sedalia, Mo., is now starting business here in his own name. The senior member of the firm, James Gel- ven, has retired from business, but Charles has bought a tract of ground near the center of this city and will immediately build four greenhouses, each 14x75, with cast-iron posts and Garland gutters. He will install two boilers, of sufficient capacity to carry five more houses, each 14x75, to be built in the fall of this year or next spring. He will also erect a fireproof office, packing room and boiler room and a modern 9-room residence. Batavia, N. Y. — Gustav Noaek kas opened his new flower store in the Ma- sonic Temple, this city.

Gasser Co., met with an unfortunate accident last week that will put him out of commission for some four weeks. In a friendly scuffle with his two sons his foot slipped on the pol- ished floor, turning under him, and he broke the smaller bone in his leg and tore the ligaments. Coming as it does during the busiest months of the year makes it doubly hard for Mr. Darnell. Sandusky, O.— The Central Green- houses, on Columbus avenue, formerly conducted by D. J. Mackey and later by D. R. White, have now been reop iMied by Leo E. Wagner. For the last three years Mr. Wagner has been acting as deputy city auditor, but he will re- sign that position. He will be assisted at the greenhouses by Jacob Mans, who has had a long experience both as a grower and designer. The greenhouses are being improved and thoroughly ren- ovated. Jefferson City, Mo. — Hugo Busch, proprietor of the Capital City Green- houses, has purchased the property of the Jefferson Floral Co., including the ground, five greenhouses, stock, etc. On account of this purchase, it will not be necessary to build rose and carnation houses on his new farm, as he had in- tended to do. The newly acquired green- houses will be run in connection with his former place and will give greatly needed aid in supplying the stock for i.is retail trade. Bandolph, Vt. — H. M. Totman's greenhouses, says a local newspaper, have blossomed out with a handsome new delivery wagon, made by the 0. Armleder Co., of Cincinnati, O. "The enclosed body of the vehicle," the pa- per continues, "has a glossy black fin- ish, with gilt lettering which gives the name of the proprietor and the green- house products of flowers, seeds, plants and shrubs. Besides double doors at the rear, there are doors back of the driver's seat, which enable him to reach the interior without alighting from the wagon, and the running gear, painted red, turns around like a top. The gray horse-power in front wears an elegant gold plated, monogram harness." May 26, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 17 GLADIOLUS BUIALETS. Please tell me the best way to grow gladiolus bulblets. I have planted them in flats in the greenhouse to get them started. I have several kinds and find that some kinds sprout and come up in a few days, but America bulblets have not sprouted and have been in about three weeks. They have a harder shell than some other kinds. Is there a way to make them sprout quickly? Should they be soaked in hot water, or should the shell be cut or cracked be- fore planting! I. N. K, In sowing seeds of gladioli a well- drained piece of land, well enriched and preferably of a sandy nature, should be chosen. Keep the seed bed well watered. The little bulblets at the end of the first season will be the size of ordinary garden peas. The next season sow them in drills like peas. While a few will flower the second year, the bulk will not do so until a year later. Increasing stock from the numerous small bulblets is more satisfactory than by the seed plan. We would prefer to sow these in drills in the open ground, rather than plant in flats in the green- house, as they will make much finer bulbs outdoors. Some bulblets are a little slower in starting than others, but it would be no advantage to soak them. When lifting in the fall, store the little bulblets in bags and hang them where they are not subjected to drying from fire heat. C. W. AWAY DOWN SOUTH. News with regard to the advancement of the trade in the extreme southeast corner of the United States, beyond the Everglades of Florida, ought to be wel- comed by all florists. Pioneer work is always admirable, and such information is a pleasant token of the progress and prosperity of the business throughout the length and breadth of the land. Miami, Fla., where the Miami Floral Co. is located, is 370 miles directly south of Jacksonville, on the Atlantic coast, near the southern point of the state and in one of the most beautiful and wonderful sections of the country. •J. W. Warner, formerly of Atlanta, Ga., is the organizer and manager of the company. He began the business in a Group Exhibited at a Local Fair by Miami Floral Co., Miami, Fla. small way about three years ago, and has steadily increased its capacity, mak- ing a specialty of choice roses and dec- orative plants for the winter season, when thousands of northern visitors tour the east coast of Florida. Special at- tention is paid to artistic design and bouquet work and floral decorating, this feature of the business being in charge of Mrs. S. E. Warner, an artist in that line. They propagate quantities of cro- tons and palms for the trade, and do a general greenhouse business locally, sup- plying flowers and plants to points all along the east coast. The two photographs here reproduced show the two sections of the exhibit staged by the Miami Floral Co. at the South Florida Midwinter Fair, held re- cently at Miami. The two sections were placed so as to face each other at the main entrance, with the aisle between. J. W. Warner and his two sons, James and William, appear in one of the pic- tures. This season 's business, Mr. Warner says, has been by far the best in the histor)' of the company, and Mr. Warner feels a pardonable degree of pride in the fine showing they are making in their far southern home. OBITUARY. Group Exhibited at a Local Fair by Miami Floral G)., Miami, Fla. Joseph F. Lang. Joseph F. Lang, who had been a florist in Chicago for over thirty years, died May 15 at his residence, 2010 Mel- rose street, of inflammation of the bowels. He was born in Germany in 1854 and came to Chicago when 14 years of age. The widow, three sons and a daughter survive him and will continue the business, largely the pro- duction of bedding plants. Thomas Oowanloch. The sad news of the death of Thomas Gowanloch, of Highland Park, Mich., has just been received. On Sunday afternoon, May 15, Mr. Gowanloch, ac- companied by his brother-in-law, deliv- ered a load of plants on Fort street, west. On the return trip his wagon was demolished by a street car. He was removed to Grace hospital, fatally in- jured, and died Monday afternoon. May 23. Mr. Peters, Mr. Gowanloch 's brother-in-law, was also seriously in- jured and is still at Red Cross hospital. Mr. Gowanloch was a most active mem- ber of the Detroit Florists' Club, and it is with deepest regret that we hear of his death. H. S.

What would you think of a business man who didn't have any business sta- tionery? Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Eeview $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar bill that insures fifty- two copies. Supposing a firm wanted to sell you goods and wrote on a plain piece of pa- per— what would you think of them? Well, then, why not get a letter-head that shows who YOU are, to use when you BUY. It often happens that good geraniums in 4-inch pots are scarce in the begin- ning of June and overabundant later, when stock comes into bloom. Good ge- raniums now are in first-class demand and realizing rather better prices than a year ago. Have you filled out the blanks for the census of floriculture? If neglected in this busy time, do it as soon as possible, and with care. If you have a greenhouse you should have received the blank. If you did not receive it, drop The Review a line on your printed letter-head and you will be supplied. The Massachusetts Horticultural So- ciety has issued a schedule of prizes for the peony exhibition, to be held jointly by itself and the American Peony Society, at Horticultural hall, Boston, June 9 and 10. Copies of the list may be obtained by addressing W. P. Rich, secretary, Boston. A POWDER PASTE. In looking over The Review of May 19, I noticed on page 30 an inquiry about a "powder paste" called Paste Substitute. Now, though I can not give any information about that par- ticular sort of paste, there is another brand of powder paste which I can recommend. It is used by my firm, by the Henry A. Dreer corporation and other florists, and also by the Adams Express Co. It is called Dextrine and is manufactured by the Steele & At- wood Co., of Chicago. I think it is the best paste that can be had for attach- ing labels. A. W. L. A LEGAL QUESTION. I have a question that I should like to ask, though I do not know whether it is in your line to answer such ques- tions in the columns of The Review. The question is this: Is it legal for a cemetery company to grow plants within the cemetery grounds and sell them to people for planting outside the cemetery? You will understand that the cemetery is exempt from taxation in this state, the state of Pennsylvania. G. H. P. The Review will be pleased to hear from any reader who has positive knowledge on this point, or who has had experience in any case of a similar character. WARNING! Don't Pay Money to Strangers. Within the last few days the Review has received several complaints from east- ern Pennsylvania that "a smooth-talking young fellow" has been falsely repre- senting himself as working for the Re- view and soliciting new subscriptions or renewals in its name. If a receipt is given it never is on printed blanks, some- times bears no name or address, but in one case was signed "H. Hunter." A victim of "H. Hunter" describes him as follows: About 24 years old, clean shaven, fluent talker, about five feet six inches tall, fair, dark suit, not new. Don't be duped by this petty swindler. If "H. Hunter" shows up, call the po- lice and wire the Review. Never pay money to strangers, for the Review or on any other account. Re- view representatives all are well known members of the trade in their respective localities. SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. Department of Registration. Public notice is hereby given that the American Rose & Plant Co., of Spring- field, O., offers for registration the fern described below. Any person objecting to the registration, or to the use of the proposed name, is requested to com- municate with the secretary at once. Failing to receive objection to the reg- istration, the same will be made three vveeks from this date. Raiser's descrip- tion: A sport from Nephrolepis Bos- toniensis that is a great improvement over that variety, being of the same habit, but of somewhat more vigorous growth, with fronds six to eight inches in width. The edges of each of the pinnae are decidedly rufiled in wavelike undulation that is very distinctive. As the fronds mature the undulations be- come more pronounced, giving the indi- vidual fronds and the plant as a whole a marked wavy effect. Does not run back, the type being fixed. Name: Ne- phrolepis Roosevelt. As no objections have been filed, pub- lic notice is hereby given that the regis- tration of the violet, Marie Elise, by Thomas De Voy 's Son, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., becomes complete. H. B. Dorner, Sec'y. May 19, 1910. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. The gyrations of Halley's comet have been no more erratic than the changes in the weather and in the Chicago market during the last week. The weather always is the most im- portant factor in regulating supply and demand in this market. Sometimes it is possible to count with some slight degree of certainty upon what the weather will do to the supply, but this year conditions are so abnormal that strange tricks are played. Unseasona- bly cool conditions had prevailed for some time up to the latter part of last week. Then came three days of mid- summer. Growers who had been letting the stock hang on the plants just a bit longer than was necessary, in order to accumulate a resetVe for Memorial May 26, 1910.

H.HUNT 76-78 Wabash Avenue CHICAGO day, found their blooms ripening so fast they were compelled to cut at once. The result was a deluge of carnations which sent prices tumbling. The effect upon the supply of roses was less marked, though there was a considera- ble increase in this department, as in practically all others. The effect upon the quality of roses was much more pro- nounced than upon the quality of car- nations, greatly as the latter suffered. It not only opened the roses quickly, but the way the thrips multiplied and the voraciousness with which they at- tacked the flowers was something en- tirely unprecedented. Eose growers are accustomed to an annual spring battle with thrips, but this year it has been more fiercely contested than usually. In addition, following the warm days came cold rain, and not a few growers who had seen their Killarney blooms devastated by the thrips found the foliage in a like stage because of mil- dew. Where the wholesalers a week ago had been congratulating themselves and their customers on the superior quality of the stock available for Memorial day, they now find themselves with quality little, if any, better than it usually is at this date. A few growers can congratulate themselves that their stock is holding up well, but the deteri- oration in the majority of the stock has been as rapid as anything this market ever experienced within the short period of one week. The principal exception to the rule is the Butterfly sweet peas. This mar- ket never saw so many fine sweet peas as are coming in this week. It is dem- onstrated that success does not depend so much upon the variety as upon the grower, for the same variety in the hands of different men hardly is rec- ognizable as the same article. But many are picking superb peas. They are easily the finest flowers of the sea- son. In retail stores they sell almost on sight, and whenever the weather is good an enormous business is done with them. Following the cold rain of Sunday and Monday came bright, cold weather iigaiu, liastening production in all lines and doing something to improve quality. An immense amount of busi- ness is on the books for Memorial day. The wholesalers are practically unani- mous in saying that they have more business booked than ever before. One or two are inclined to question the adequacy of the supply, but the major- ity anticipate that the latter part of the week will see tremendous receipts, and it is expected that all orders will be taken care of. The bulk of the ad- vance orders are for carnations, and it is possible that the supply of strictly first-class stock may be short in this line. Everyone expects enough Beauties and roses. There is some question as to the supply of peonies. The southern crops have been cut and present re- ceipts are from fields nearer home. The number of consignors is increased, but the quantity of flowers coming in is not heavy.

John Fuhrmann, of 3164-6 North Clark street, is the man. The bank is the new one known as the North Shore Exchange Bank, and occu- pies modern, well-equipped quarters im- mediately south of Mr. Fuhrmann 's store. The entire building, occupied by both concerns and containing some twenty flats in addition, was erected by Mr. Fuhrmann last year. Out at Maywood the greenhouse building contractors, Winandy Bros., of Eogers' Park, have ten men busy to finish up the establishments of the A. F. Amling Co., Wm. H. Amling and Wal- ter Burhop. O. P. Bassett and wife sail today from New York to spend six months on an automobile tour through Europe. One of the sights at Zech & Mann's early this week was a stalk of Formosa lily, carrying eleven enormous flowers. The grower plants the bulbs among the carnations and they come on slowly, with a texture far heavier than where heat is applied. Poehlmann Bros.

As an instance of how heavy crops were last week, Peter Reinberg sent in ] 3,000 carnations on one of his Sat- urday shipments. W. E. Lynch, at E. H. Hunt's, paid a visit to Frank Oechslin on Sunday.

Trade has ruled quiet for a week, but the near approach of Memorial day is now galvanizing new life into it. A feature has been the comparative scar- city of carnations. Prices on these are now soaring, as much as $6 to $8 being asked for fancy colored varieties for delivery at the end of the week. A general sentiment seems to be that there will be a scarcity of carnations, but plenty of all other flowers. A large home trade always causes a heavy hold- ing back of carnations each year. Boses, as yet, have not made much advance, and as there is a good supply, rates on them will be moderate. In American Beauties the call is more for the me- dium and short-stemmed flowers; long- stemmed ones remain about the same. In pinks, Killarney and My Maryland are both good, while the old Bridesmaid will hold up its head at least tempo- rarily. White Killarney, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Safrano, Bon Silene, Beacon Hill, Kaiserin, Eichmond and Carnot are all of good quality for the last of May, thanks to the comparatively cool weather we have had. Sweet peas are less abundant. The winter blooming varieties are about over and houses of the Spencer types are just coming in. These continue to sell well. Some good Darwin and other late tulips are seen. Some of these will last until the end of the week. Nar- cissus poeticus is still good, also plenti- ful. Outdoor lily of the valley is now at its best and its quality is much ahead of the forced article. Some of the pink colored sport is seen, but this is a slow seller. Lilies now include both auratum and speciosum, in addi- tion to longiflorum. There is a good supply of gladioli, many of the large- flowered varieties now coming in. Span- ish iris are less plentiful. Marguerites continue to sell well. Callas continue of good quality. Lilac bloom is abun- dant, but much of this will be gone for Memorial day. Ten weeks' stocks, double feverfew, candytuft, spiraeas and other miscellaneous flowers promise to be in good supply. There is a good demand for Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri, as well as adiantum, hardy dagger ferns and galas leaves. Bedding plant trade has taken on 24 The Weekly Florists^ Review* May 26, 1910.

There is also a splendid trade being done in cannas, verbenas, pansies, myo- sotis, vincas, petunias, heliotropes and other popular Memorial day plants. In the way of larger plants for vases, Dra- caena Australis, phcenix, hydrangeas, Boston ferns, geraniums, variegated vinca and acalyphas are selling well, but geraniums continue to be easily the leaders. Vases of one solid color are growing in popularity, while the mix- tures are less in demand. The Orchid Exhibition. Some of the largest exhibitors were already on the ground at the opening of the week, preparing to set up their groups for the show opening May 26, and everything now points to a superb show, as well as a big attendance of the public. In class 1, calling for a 400-foot group, there are five entries, viz.: Julius Eoehrs Co., J. T. Butterworth, Lager & Hurrell, Charles G. Eoebling and W. A. Manda. There is a sum aggregat- ing $1,750 in money, besides medals, in this class alone, and a battle royal is assured. Other large orchid exhibitors include Mrs. B. B. Tuttle, M. J. Pope, gardener; Walter Hunnewell, T. D. Hatfield, gardener; Joseph A. Manda; E. B. Dane, Donald McKenzie, gar- dener, and Lars Anderson, Duncan Fin- layson, gardener. R. & J. Farquhar's large group of new Chinese plants, in- troduced by E. H. Wilson, will be an attraction, also the collections of big specimen wistarias and azaleas from Prof. C. S. Sargent, Charles Sander, gardener, and huge rhododendrons from Walter Hunnewell. Cattleya gigas alba from Lager & Hurrell will be one of the many unique orchids shown. The orchid judges are: Oakes Ames. J. E. Rothwell, T. D. Hatfield, A. Her- rington and A. J. Loveless. The regu- lar plant and flower committee will pass on all plants, other than orchids. Next week's issue of The Review will con- tain a full illustrated report of the show. Various Notes. The annual exhibition and conven- tion of the American Peony Society will be held at Horticultural hall, Bos- ton, .Tune 9 and 10. Present indica- tions are that these dates will be right for herbaceous peonies in this section, of which there will be a great outpour- ing. There are thirteen classes in which prizes are offered by the Peony Society, and seventeen others offered by the Massachusetts Horticultural So- ciety. In tne latter are classes for thirty or more varieties double; twelve varieties double, three flowers of each; specimen bloom, double; twelve or more varieties Japanese single; vase of blooms in society's large china vases, with long stems; six each named varie- ties of white, rose-pink, salmon pink, red or crimson and any other color; twenty-five blooms white or blush, pink or rose, red or crimson and any other color; twelve varieties double new, com- mercial growers; display covering 100 feet, arranged for decorative effect, and best new variety. Much interest is being taken in the coming club field day to William Sim's establishment at Cliftondale, Saturday, June 4, and a large attendance is cer- tain. Mr. Sim has a big new 500-foot house largely planted with Spencer varieties of sweet peas just coming in. Some of these he will probably exhibit at the orchid show this week. He picked his first bushel of tomatoes May i:0. Of these latter he has numerous houses, following violets, which are in grand condition and will soon give fruit by the ton daily. Edgar Bros, received the material for their new Lord & Burnham house this week. It will run at right angles to the older houses. The dimensions will be 43x200, with sides eight feet in height to allow of ample headroom for sweet peas. A fine crop of Spencer sweet peas is now being picked from one house, and mums in thousands will be planted early in June. Thomas F. Galvin, during the early part of last week, had a delightful win- dow display at his Tremont street store, consisting of bouquets of all types as made since 1860 down to the present day shower bouquet. Thousands of visitors stopped to examine the bou- quets, some of them bringing back pleasant memories to many. All were artistically made. May 26, 1910.

Rhea Reid and Beacon Hill are holding up well, while Killarney and White Killarney are extra fine for the season. The Newtonville Greenhouses are cut ting an extra fine lot of Killarney, Bridesmaid and other roses, which aro handled at C Park street by Thomas Pegler. The baseball team at C Park street lias already secured several matches. May 21 one with a Brookline team was spoiled by damp weather. Henry M. Robinson & Co. are busy this week and are more than satisfied with the volume of business they are handling. The prominent retailers note a better sale than ever before for summer or- chids, largely due to the interest being created by the coming big exhibition. From Seth Borden, J. T. Butterworth, Wheeler & Co., Paul De Nave and other specialists good supplies are now being received. In the Boston park system the loni- ceras now are beautiful. Crataegus in many varieties are masses of white flowers. Viburnum plicatum and V. to- mentosum, Spiraea Van Houttei, many azaleas, rhododendrons and a host of other beautiful subjects are also in bloom. Visitors in town the first of the week include I.

There is much more life in the de- mand for geraniums in bloom than for the blooms to be found in the cut flower market.' The advent of warm weather, the genuine thing, has increased the supply of all kinds of flowers and dimin- ished the demand. The result is a de- cidedly dull market. Carnations are one of the stronger flowers on the list. The demand for really good stock has been excellent on most days, but the warm weather has a demoralizing effect on carnations, causing the buyers to be extremely critical. New crop sweet peas, magnificent stock, some from the frames outdoors, some from late planting in- doors, have completely pushed aside the worn-out denizens of the greenhouses that have done such yeoman service during the season. There is no compari- son between these bright, long-stemmed flowers and the dull, rather watery, short-stemmed stock that marks the last efforts of the tired vines. Eoses are extremely plentiful. The authorities generally agree that the medium grade, where the flowers are fine, fare best. Valley has been in ex- cellent demand at prices that average well for the season. Cattleyas are easier, the demand being anticipatory rather than present. Cornflowers are fine and plentiful. There is nothing doing in gardenias. Some excellent lilies are in the market. The quality stimulates the demand. Last, but by no means least, come peonies. They are in full crop now. The red of officinalis is most sought; pink and white drag. Although Sat- urday was an excellent day, peonies were seldom asked for. The wholesalers, realizing that the crop is at its height, are having peonies cut for Memorial day. The few days retarding are a sim- ple matter, rather of benefit than of injury to them. Indications point to a brisk demand during the next week or ten days. The Question of Profit. Five years ago one of our brightest business men said that he felt sure flowers would be lower in price in a few years. To prepare for this decrease in price he put all his energy to reduc- ing the cost of production, believing in that way a fair profit on his investment could be maintained. Today the wisdom of this course is apparent. The growers who are able to produce their stock at a reduced cost are doing as well as they were then, while the growers whose expenses are as large as they were five years ago find their receipts are smaller than for- merly, owing to the lower average prices. Really fine stock brings as much now as it ever did, occasionally more; but the ordinary grades do not bring as much. The market has become so critical that ordinary stock is rarely accepted at prices better than ordinary. The question of increasing profit by a reduction of expenses is one of the most important business problems of the day. Cheap houses, cheap plants, cheap labor are often enormously expensive. Judgment in the kind of houses to build, the kind of plants to grow, the kind of men to grow them, is vital. What mat- ter how hard you work yourself if the houses are unsuitable, the plants in- ferior, the workers' cost less? The re- sults from such an enterprise must be disappointing. Consider, on the other hand, the pos- sibilities or a well-run business, large or small, laying stress on the fact that quality must not be sacrificed for economy. Founder's Day. The birthday of Stephen Girard, May 20, was celebrated with fitting honor at Girard College. The horticultural chief, Charles W. Cox, centered his efforts in the chapel and on the tomb of Stephen Girard, in the Corinthian Library and in the grounds lying between that and the south entrance, also in the dining and reception rooms.

There has been considerable activity in connection with funeral work, receptions, school exhibitions, a few weddings and other social func- tions, while in plants there has been a considerable demand. Small bedding plants are especially called for, and potted stock for Memorial day is handled almost as fast as it is brought in. There has been an average supply of everything except carnations, these being off crop. Prices have ranged about normal, but for next week there will be a stiffening of from thirty-three to fifty per cent. Club Meeting.

FIOHTINa APHIS. With the arrival of warmer weather, green and black aphis will appear in vast numbers on many trees and shrubs, and lots of customers will be asking you how to get rid of them. Whale oil soap, one pound to six or eight gal- lons of water, is a good remedy. Nico- tine extracts are reliable, but more costly. The best, least expensive and most easily prepared insecticide is kero- sene emulsion. Shave down a pound of any hard soap fine; add two gallons of water; boil until soap is dissolved; add four gallons of kerosene; keep agi- tated for ten minutes, and then pour the emulsion into any tight cask. Be- fore using, first melt the emulsion and use at the rate of fifteen parts water to one of the emulsion. In addition to hardy trees and shrubs, this is excel- lent for chrysanthemums, roses out- doors, or any other plants which have smooth leaves. Do not, however, use it on show pelargoniums, cucumbers, melons or any plants with soft or woolly foliage. Kerosene emulsion is also use- ful when fighting oyster shell or scurfy scale and for the pupse of elm beetles as they descend the trees. For these use at the rate of five to one. SPANISH IBIS. Kindly advise me if Spanish iris can be grown in a coldframe. If so, when should they be planted, how thick and about what time would they bloom t If planted outside will they bloom about Memorial day! Are the mixtures satis- factory, or is it better to plant the named varieties T I live in Michigan. H. H. G. Spanish iris does well grown either in flats or planted directly in coldframes. The bulbs usually arrive in October and can be planted at once. As they are slender growing, they can go fairly close together, three inches apart each way, or plant in rows four inches apart and allow two inches between the bulbs. In coldf rames they will easily bloom for Memorial day. Plant bulbs outdoors on any well- drained ground about the end of Octo- ber. They are perfectly, hardy. In Massachusetts the usual flowering time is June 15 to 30. With you they would be rather earlier. The named varieties are ine:q>0nsive and decidedly prefera- ble to the mixtures. The following are excellent sorts: Louise, pale blue; chrysolora, golden yellow; Midley, pale blue; Thunderbolt, deep bronze; Ca- janus, yellow; British Queen, pure white, large. Immediately following the Span- ish iris come the English iris, which are also splendid for cutting and quite hardy. Allow the English iris six to eight inches apart each way, and the Spanish iris four to five inches each way. The former variety has heavier foliage. W. N. C. Johnstown, Pa. — The H. H.

The condition of the market has changed little since last week. The de- mand has been somewhat better for first-class stock, but the wholesalers have plenty of everything that is sea- sonable. The approach of Memorial day should clean up a great deal of the surplus stock of the wholesalers by the end of the week, when a great deal of shipping trade is looked for by the local retailers, though locally not a great deal of extra work is looked for. At the wholesale houses last week all were loaded down with stock of extra good quality, and also in the lower grades, at prices within the reach of all in small and large lots. This week there are prospects of an abundance of stock in roses and carnations, with plenty of lilies, peonies and cape jasmines. Extra fine valley is selling fairly well. Com- mon ferns have been scarce of late. A great deal of rain last week has kept the plantsmen back in their work. Various Notes. Pierre Schneider returned last week from Springfield, 111., and is now in full charge of the plant of the Oakland Floral Co., at Kirkwood, Mo. This com- pany is going heavily into growing stock for the local market, which will be handled by C. A. Kuehn. Fred Ostertag, who has been on the sick list during the last week, is again at his post with Ostertag Bros. Henry Ostertag, the head of the firm, reports the firm as being busy and they are working overtime in the decorating line. John Barnard, until recently with Miss Newman, at Spring and Olive streets, is in the wholesale district each morning. He is contemplating a trip west, if nothing turns up in his line. Julius Koenig, who is in the office of City Forester Meyer, has moved and is now living near his old home, next door to the Koenig Floral Co., on Floris- sant avenue. He says the forester's departments have all been busy of late, looking after the sidewalk trees.

All say they are having the best season in years. Miss Mattie Schnell, the east side florist, who is a daily caller in the wholesale district, says she has had a splendid business season. The flower business on the east side is growing rapidly. Miss Tillie Meinhardt has made a call for all the lady members of the Home Circle to meet at the Union sta- tion at 6:45 p. m., at the C. P. & St. L. gate, Wednesday, June 8, for their trip to Chautauqua, where they will spend the night and Thursday and leave that night at 5:18 for home. This will be one of the best meetings the circle has had, and all members are expected to be on hand. The Paris Floral Co. will be open for business next week at 507 Olive street. Fred Foster will be in charge and Fred Foster, Jr., will have charge of the old stand in the Century building, at Ninth avenue and Olive street. Mrs, M. M. Ayers' Grand avenue store showed some extra fine gladioli spikes last week and some fine specimen plants in hydrangeas. IHnners and wedding receptions kept them busy all last week. Miss Teresa Badaracco had a big run of funeral work last week. Her sister, Mrs. George Ostertag, is now with her and is a great help to her in making up artistic work of all kinds. GLETELmiD ..The.

Too much rain in the Chicago onion set section. It is quite apparent that the 1910 seed crop in England v?ill be short so far as it concerns plants that have had to pass through the winter. E. J. Deal, manager of W. W. Johnson & Son, Boston, England, is planning to visit the seed trade in the United States again this year, probably in August. The old crop of turnip is practically exhausted, both in England and Holland, and in the former country there are few offers of new crop seed, owing to the loss in all biennials. Hugh M. Taylor, of Lloyd, Fla., has perfected a method of cleaning the seed of Desmodium moUe, the beggar weed, or Florida clover, which gives the neces- sary germinating, quality to make the seed a commercial article. Mr. Taylor considers this the most valuable legume for the south, especially on plantations of oranges and on truck lands. Edwin Lonsdale writes The Review from Lompoc, Cal., as follows: "Sweet peas are a grand sight on Purpee 's Flora- dale seed farm at the present time (May 19) and will continue to for many weeks. The valley of Lompoc is well suited to the culture of sweet peac; cool nights and rich land are what the sweet peas enjoy, and they have both here.

The most serious phase of the situation on the other side of the Atlantic is the inability of many English houses to offer beet seed. All the news of the general crops con- tinues encouraging. Good crops are all that are needed to make another year of prosperity and a big seed season in 1911. It is reported that E. M. Stephenson & Son, farmers near Quinn, S. D., have ' contracted to grow 125 acres of peas for seed purposes this year. They have grown peas on a smaller scale for several seasons. The prospect, taking the world-wide view, is not for any great increase in seed production this year. Peas, beans, brassicas, beets, turnips, radishes are none of them likely to produce surplus quantities. S. M. ISBELL C CO. JACKSON. MICH. Contract Seed Growers BEAN. CUCUMBER. TOMATO Radish, Pea.

In spite of the need, it is the estim.ate that the world's acreage under seed crops this season is less than in 1909. The new store of the N. L. Willett Seed Co., 849 Broad street, Augusta, Ga., recently occupied, is said to be a model. CALirORNiA appears to be having as favorable a season as any other seed growing section anywhere in the world. W.

The project is one of $150,000, headed by John Seip and other capitalists of Chillicothe, O. The re- claimed land is to be developed into rich truck fields for the production of horse- tooth corn, celery, onions and Irish po- tatoes. Messrs.

Edgar Brown, chief of the division of seed testing of the Department of Agri- culture, Washington, D. Q,, has been in- specting the seed-testing laboratory at the College of Agriculture of the Uni- versity of Missouri, at Columbia. The United States government is supporting four cooperative laboratories, in Oregon, Nebraska, Missouri and Indiana. These are all branches of the laboratory at Washington. The laboratory in Columbia has already received 520 samples of seeds this year. Last year at this time only 196 had been received. At present fifty to 100 samples are received each week. This tripling of the work has made nec- essary the employment of another assist- ant. Miss Frances Burket, of Forest Glen, Md., an assistant in the Washing- ton laboratory, will work in the Colum- bia laboratory for the next two or three months. Miss Norma Waddle, a gradu- ate of the University of Nebraska in 1908, has charge of this laboratory. Miss COLD STORAGE VALLEY Very finest grades of Valley for shipment as desired from New Yoik.

SEED GBOWING AT HOLLISTES.

In the San Juan valley 600 acres are devoted suc- cessfully to the raising of seeds that are shipped to all parts of the world.

More than 1,000 acres are now devoted to seed farming in San Benito county, and there still is plenty of good land awaiting this profitable industry." EXPORTS OF GRASS SEEDS. Vice-consul George B. Stephenson, of Liverpool, in. reply to an American ex- porter of grass and clover seeds, writes concerning the British market as fol- lows : ' ' The imports into the United Kingdom of grass and clover seed from the United States during the last five years for which statistics are available are as follows, in hundredweights (of 112 pounds each): 1904, 111,869; 1905, 101,101; 1906, 90,505; 1907, 88,204; 1908, 101,339. The bulk of the clover seed finding an English market comes from Chile, the quotation at the close of 1909 for seed of that origin having been about $17 a hundredweight. Firms consulted state that the demand for American clover and grass seed on the Liverpool market is somewhat limited, owing to the large amount used in the United States and the high price given there, which, as a rule, makes it imprac- ticable for the seed to be shipped to England, where it must compete with sfieds grown where the home demand is not so great and prices therefore lower. ' ' Consul George Heimrod, of Berne, in answering an American inquiry, gives the following information in reference to imports of grass and-clover seed into the republic: "Switzerland imported grass and clover seed in 1908 to the ex- tent of 2,273,000 pounds, from the fol- lowing countries: Germany, 703,000; France, 500,000; Italy, 412,000; Eng- land, 395,000; Austria, 136,000; United States, 116,000; Belgium, 10,000, and Denmark, 1,000 pounds. The German and French seed was valued at $17.50, and that from the United States at $9.55 per hundred pounds. The statistics do not give details as to what amount was grass and what amount clover seed. There is no customs duty on these articles. Much of the seed imported from the United States is timothy, as little Amer- ican clover is used." POTATO BLACKING. The Maine Agricultural Experiment Station is now mailing Bulletin 174, which discusses a bacterial disease of the stem and tuber of the potato that has only recently been recognized in Amer- ica. A similar disease, called black- leg, has been known in Europe for some time, and it is thought to have been in- troduced into this country by means of infected seed tubers. As yet blackleg has not caused much damage in Maine potato fields, but it is thought to be on the increase. The chief danger from this disease lies in the fact that it causes much more serious losses in states farther south, where Maine potatoes are largely sold for seed purposes. If this trade is to be held, growers and shippers of seed potatoes should learn to recognize the AMNONIATED LAWN LINE Kills Weeds— Mokes Grass Grow Applied as a light top dressing to lawns, it kills all flat leaved weeds, such as Dandelion, Daisy, Plantain, Sorrel, Gfaickweed, Moss, etc., in 48 hours, and without other fertilizer produces a wondferful, luxuriant, rich green growth of lawn grasses, which is distinctly noticeable 50 feet away. The use of Ammoniated Lawn Lime supersedes hand weeding of lawns, putting greens, etc. It saves the grass from being pulled up and in many cases ruined. Grasses take a new, vigorous growth, avoiding probable trouble in future. #^ai2in4l'^iA& • ^^ ^^^^ weedy, 1 lb. to 40 sq. ft.; 25 lbs. to 1000 sq. ft. y UallllllCS e (20x50).

Too good a report cannot be given on the condition of last week's busi- ness. An increasing demand for all varieties of flowers was evident, and the florist was busy with cut flower and pot plant orders. Memorial day orders are coming in rapidly, and no one engaged in the florists' business expects to get much rest until Memo- rial day is a thing of the past. Plants of all varieties are moving rapidly, and it is a certified fact that there will not be nearly enough stock on the mar- ket to supply the demand. The weather, though disagreeable, was just the thing for the peonies, as they will just about hit Memorial day. Various Notes. Mrs. Elizabeth Young has been in Minneapolis, Minn., for the last ten days, where she was summoned on ac- count of the death of a grandson. A. Carey spent Saturday and Sunday in Cincinnati, Ohio. B.

What is the cause of eggplant damp- ing off when from one to two inches high? I can find no insects or anything else on the plants. Everything else did .finely in our hotbeds. H. J. E. The eggplants are attacked by a fungus which causes the stalks to decay just above the ground, with the result that the plants fall over and die. There is no help for the plants attacked, but the fungus can be kept from spreading by transplanting the plants far enough apart so they are not crowded; then the air and sunlight can get in between them and kill off the fungus by keeping the foliage and the surface ef the-soil dry. ' Where plants are overwatered or left wet at night the trouble is pretty sure to follow, especially if the plants are ^'rowded. Give them only enough water to keep them from wilting, and do not water too late in the day. H. G. APHIS ON LETTUCE. I am sending some lettuce leaves that have a small green insect on them. What is it, and wlmt is the remedy? It does not appear to trouble anything but cab- bage and lettuce. I can keep it down by spraying with the water in which to- bacco stems have been soaked, but this cannot be used on lettuce that is ready for market. E. P. M. The insects are the common green-fly or green lice, aphis. The writer does not state whether thev are in the greenhouse or outside.

Selby, Botanist, Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, Wooster, O., read at tho Ashtabula convention of the Green- house Vegetable Growers' Association. Con- tinued from the Review of May 19.] Cabbage, Cauliflower, Radishes and Tur- nips. The cabbage, cauliflower, radish and turnip all belong to the mustard family and all have the common fault of being attacked by about three destructive dis- eases; namely, club-root, black rot and fusarium wilt. The black rot is a bacterial disease infesting slime mold. It is easily de- stroyed by greenhouse methods of soil treatment. The black-rot is a bacterial disease which survives in the cabbage refuse, as well as in the Boil. The fusarium wilt has recently proved destructive in northern Ohio cabbage growing districts. Both it and the black rot are commonly present where cabbage and cauliflower are largely grown.

Where these plants are grown for for- cing, care must be taken to avoid plant bed infection, as well as the infection of the greenhouse soil. Most of you will appreciate, from the resume just gone over, how large a factor the proper treatment of your greenhouse soils has come to be in controlling the diseases of greenhouse vegetables. With- out effective methods for this soil disin- fection to destroy soil-infesting organ- isms, the present development of the for- cinghouse industry would scarcely seem possible. However, while these methods are ef- fective, success is only reached by con- tinued care and close observation, as vvell as by the application of right practice in greenhouse control. MiY 26, 1910.

PORTLAND, OSE. The Market. The market last week showed some- thing of a glut, as the bright, warm weather brought everything into crop at once. It is a question with the florist whether to throw away the surplus or dispose of it through the street fakers, and the former course is frequently chosen. Carnations are at their best, but their keeping qualities are badly impaired. Roses are plentiful and of fine quality; the better stock is disposed of without any effort. Peonies are in their prime and the indications are that there will be a shortage in these for Decoration day, as well as in other stock. Sweet peas are becoming more plentiful and are the best selling commodity. The out-of-town call for graduation flowers has increased the sales consid- erably. The city schools will close sev- eral weeks later. The unusual demand for bedding stock has about cleaned out the market. Various Notes. Plans for the rose fiesta are being rapidly consummated. Greater efforts than formerly will be made this year to insure success. The floral parade will be the feature of the week. Many of the principal towns of the state will be represented by appropriate floats. The indications are that by that date, June 7, the outside roses will be in their prime. The yards and private parks are a grand sight at present, and a few week's will effect a wonderful change. D. L. Thomas, formerly of Salem, Ore., is now at Dallas, Ore., which is a better location, with a larger territory to contribute to his trade. C. W. Skinner, representing the Skinner Irrigation Co., is interviewing the local trade. John Oleson, of Cleone, Ore., has been favored with several large orders from the interior and middle west for dag- ger ferns, which are scarce at this sea- son. E. B. C. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. The weather continues to be warm, with prospects of its remaining so for some time. Flowers are a positive drug in this market and it is impossible to give any quotations on them. There is, of course, a slight demand for extra stock. Koses, as well as all available flowers, show the results of the hot spell. Bride and Maid are weak in stem and poor in color and Beauties are only about half the size they should be. Spanish iris is almost out of season, and peonies will not last over a few days Cycas Circinalis Steins Grand importation just to hand in fine condition.

These have both been good sell- ers until the last few days, when they suffered the same as all other kinds of stock. Easter lilies have shown the greatest slump of anything in the flower line. They have sold as low as 75 cents per dozen stems. It is questionable if as many will be grown next season. Bride gladioli are now in full swing and are as popular as ever. They find great favor with the flower shipping public. They cost the stores from 75 cents to .fil per hundred, and at these figures a handsome profit can be made. Sweet peas are not of as good quality as we should like to see them, but this can be also charged to the excess of heat. Other kinds of outside stock are in large sup- ply, and there is no doubt but that there will be plenty of flowers for Memorial day. Various Notes. Miss K. O. Sessions, the well known San Diego florist, was in town on a short trip. The members of the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society and invited guests were entertained by the E. Gill Nursery Co. on their West Berkeley grounds May 16. A pleasant and profitable time was enjoyed by all present and great interest was shown by the visitors in the many hundreds of new sorts of roses, of which over fifty acres are cul- tivated at this place. Much damage was done on the even- ing of May 14 by a high wind which prevailed in this vicinity.

Lilienthal, the landscape gar- dener of Berkeley, has addressed a let- ter to the California horticulturists in which he advises them to pay attention to the propagation and growth of the cork oak. The claim is made that many thousands of acres of land could profita- bly be devoted to this industry, whicli is yet in its infancy in California. F. E.

ROBERT CRAIG COMPANY, 490O Market Street , Philadelphia Mention The Review when you write. DETROIT. The Market. Business remains good. There is plenty of good stock available. The weather has been quite warm the last few days, bringing out peas, gladioli, iris, etc., in large quantities. Sweet peas were never better than just at present. Elegant, long-stemmed stock, in any color or shade desired, can be had. Indications poiiit toward a big Memo- rial day business, although this day is not as big a flower day in Detroit as in some other cities. Many flowers are shipped to the smaller towns about here. The local commission houses also do a big shipping business. Boxwood trees have sold well so far this spring. Some florists go into the handling of these popular trees quite extensively, and reap a nice profit. Various Notes. Charles Warncke, Jr., is again ablip to be around, after a long illness. Several dozen unusually fine Golden Glow mums attracted much attention at the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange last week. They were from the houses of Robert Klagge. George E. Browne, of Greenfield, has been called upon to serve on the jury of the Wayne county circuit court. Saturday, May 21, J. F. Sullivan had a rose sale, disposing of over 5,000 roses. The roses were all nicely ar- ranged in boxes, with some green, and sold at 50 cents per box, each box con- taining ten short stemmed roses. This sale netted a nice little profit. Harry Breitmeyer has become the proud possessor of an Anhut Six touring car. The mayor's son is quite an auto enthusiast and knows a good car when he sees one. William Hielseher, of the Hielscher Wire Works, has invested in an auto. All the members of the Florists' Club are looking forward to a ride. H. S.

The King-Thurman Nursery Co., a cor- poration at Kalispell, Mont., has in- creased its capital stock from $10,000 to $50j000. The Peters Nursery Co., of Knoxville, Tenn., is endeavoring to encourage the spirit of home improvement by offering prizes for the planting of garden plots. In this endeavor the firm is working in unison with the Knoxville City Beautiful Club. The Sherman Nursery Co., of Charles City, la., has purchased two automobiles of Reed & Jacobs, for use about the nursery. The cars purchased are Flan- ders No. 3 and are admirably fitted for the purpose for which the nursery needs tliem. Last fall the Delaware & Hudson Railroad Co. started 260,000 acorns in its greenhouses at Oneonta, N. Y. The seedlings are now being planted outdoors, twelve inches apart, in nursery rows. The plan is to use the stock for reforesting in the Adirondacks. The annual meeting of the stockhold- ers of Stark Bros.' Nurseries and Or- chards Co., Louisiana, Mo., will be held June 28, at which time the stockholders will be asked to vote on a proposition to issue $300,000 of bonds to provide capital to meet the increased needs of the busi- ness. The Massachusetts Horticultural So- ciety has issued a schedule of prizes for the peony i&xhibition, to be held jointly by itself and the American Peony Society, at Horticultural hall, Boston, June 9 and 10. Copies of the list may be obtuned by addressing W. P. Rich, secretary, Boston. IJIJ^CS AT ABNOLD ABBOSETUM. The lilacs at Arnold Arboretum, Bos- ton, are famous all over the world.

This plant is useful for the front of shrub- beries or rock gardens. " L. Ledebouri is a handsome Cali- fornian variety, not reliably hardy in the northern states. It attains a height of fifteen feet. The salver-shaped flow- ers are scarlet red outside. South of New Jersey this is a splendid variety to grow. It likes a shady location. L. involucrata, while not one of the most desirable varieties to plant in quantity, is a native species which is to be found from Ontario to Alaska and south to Utah and California. It is peculiar owing to the black, shiny fruit it bears. The erect flowers have a long peduncle and are usually yellowisli or reddish in color. This plant is use- ful only in mass effects. As loniceras become old, a certain amount of dead wood will appear each year. This should be removed as soon as the plants start into growth. Largo plants, which have grown too tall and are bare below, will stand hard prun ing and will bteak away again vigor- ously. An, however, young plants are so inexpensive and grow so fast, it hardly pays to cut back old plants. Winter is a good time to do any prun- ing, which should consist in the removal of weak and sickly shoots aiid the head- ing back of any tall ones. Among E. H. Wilson's new Chinese introductions are many loniceras. Some of these have ideal habits.

Spring is here at last and everybody is busy on plant trade. The prospect is that this will be a record-breaking year in the line of bedding plants. The run on geraniums is heavier than ever be- fore. There have been a great many more geraniums grown this season, but no- doubt there will be a shortage long before the season is over. Salvias, coleus, cannas and all bedding plants find a ready sale. There also has been a good demand for pot roses for plant- ing out, and a good number have been moved. Cut flower trade has been quite lieavy, especially for funeral work. Stock has been more plentiful. Carna- tions are coming in heavily at present •and indications are we will be in much better shape here for Decoration day on carnations than we have ever been before. Koses are commencing to show the effects of the warm weather and quality is not what it should be. There will be few peonies here for Decora- tion day, as the growers complain about the frost nipping most of the buds; they are nearly all blighted. Outdoor flowers will be scarce, owing to the cold snap. Various Notes. The Florists' Club held a meeting May 10, with a fairly good attendance. The report of the amusement commit- tee on the series of dances was sub- mitted and was satisfactory from a financial standpoint as well as amuse- ment. Allen Gerling, of the -Fifth Ave- nue Floral Co. store force, was elected tt) membership. The picnic question was brought up, and no doubt the event will take place about the middle of July. Sherman Stephens reports a busy time at Greenlawn, with everybody working night and day. E. Metzmaier reports heavy business and says it is hard to get stock out, as everybody wants plants at the same time. The Franklin Park Floral Co. is busy with Hocking Valley bedding work. The Fifth' Avenue Floral Co. is cutting the heaviest crop of the season in carnations. The force also is ex- tremely busy on some park work. Mr. Courcey, of the Athens State Hospital, formerly of Columbus, was a visitor here May 21, looking up old friends. J. M. Enid, Okla. — G. G.

SMITH & CO., Adrian, Mich. 64 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Max 26, 1910. MILWAUKEE. The Market. Considering tliat the weather all last week was rather unseasonable, business continues quite good. From every end we hear the report that there is some- thing doing all the time, with an oc- casional rush. From a wholesaler's standpoint everything up to now was satisfactory. There was plenty of every kind of stock at all times, and the demand has been good. The retail- ers will experience a rather strenuous time, for the rather chilly weather has kept people from planting out their bedding stock up to this time, so it will mean to crowd a few weeks' work into the time allotted between now and Memorial day; it seems to be customary in this vicinity that on Memorial day everything should be in place. The wholesalers, too, find that the call for bedding plants is increasing more from day to day. it is a rather difficult task to make a report at this time as to what the prospects are regarding receipts for the Memorial day trade. A good deal de- pends upon the weather, is the univer- sal answer. Undoubtedly the long suit will be roses, peonies, lilies and carna- tions. The latter, Avhich up to a short time ago wore not equal to the de- mand, have been coming in heavier of late, and we are inclined to think that the supply will be satisfactory and, above alT things, the quality will be the best ever seen i'n this market so close to the end of thp season. In fact, the quality of all cut flowers at this , time is of really good grade, which in turn will, considering the advance in prices, tend to help keep the buyers more good-natured. There will not, ow- ing to the severe frost of April 23 and 24, be a {jreat deal of outdoor stock to iepend upon or to run competition against indoor grown cut flowers; con- sequently, the latter will have every- thing their own way. Sweet peas, lily of the valley, snap- dragons, daisies and a few gladioli will help out nicely. Orders are coming in thick and fast, with every mail, and everybody predicts that this year's MemQriai day will put all previous years in the shade. Various Notes. At the regular monthly club meeting next week, Thursday, June 2, the timely topic of "How to Regulate the Prices of Spring Stock," will come up for discussion. Arthur Leidiger consented at the last meeting to open the discus- sion. James Matthewson, of Sheboygan, Wis., called on the trade last week to select a supply of palms, ferns and other pot plants. Martin Eeukauf called on the trade for H. Bayersdorfer & Co.. of Philadel- phia. Other visitors were: P. A.

This is the time of the year to pre- pare for our most important crop of chrysanthemums, and the florists in this vicinity are planting what they call here the All Saints' day flower. The weather lately has been rather dry. After an abundance of longiflorum lilies and gladioli, few flowers are now to be had from the gardens. At the last meeting of the Horticul- tural Society, E. Eichling called the at- tention of the members to the Iris Ksempferi, a showy flower, having many good qualities and well ^orth cultivat- ing. Paul Abele said that sweet peas in succession have given him an abund- ance of blooms. Sweet peas have been quite in demand for a long time. We cultivate them outside only. A. Quinette and George Thomas have joined the Horticultural Society. Nothing has been decided yet about our annual outing, which will soon take place, or the time of the election of officers for the next year. Mrs. Joseph Muller is finishing a new greenhouse, to replace the old structure of ante-bellum time, heated with a brick flue and built by her late husband. It was entirely destroyed during the re- cent storm. The new one is up-to-date, with material received from the north. E. Eeinecke will make a trip to Europe next month. The gardeners ' picnic took place Sun- day, May 15. The committee on ar- rangements consisted of F. Dermann, chairman; Valentine Zimmer, ex-officio; W. Orth, Edward Fechter, M. Schwartz, Joseph Faust, Frank Bertucci, John Pahr, D. Beche, George Eoberts and John Bollinger. The wagons forming the parade were artistically decorated. A diminutive 4-wheeled wagon, drawn by the two smallest and finest mules ever seen and loaded with bags of seeds and gardeners' tools, attracted a good deal of attention. It was the advertise- ment of the J. Steckler Seed Co. James Newsham has gone to Boston, stopping off at a few important points. J.

JOHN IRVINE & SONS, Bay City, Mich. Mention The Review when you write. DENVER. The Market. Tlie outlook for Memorial day is good. The only probablo trouble will be a scarcity of flowers. Carnations ap- pear to have shortened up considerably, although the quality is generally good. The price is as high as it frequently is at Christmas. While we all like to see high prices, yet Christmas prices around Memorial day are unusual, to say the least, especially after carnations have been selling around 50 cents to 75 cents a dozen, retail. The retailers will not be apt to force the sales too much, as they want the customers to come back again. The wholesale price, we under- stand, will be from $50 to $80 per thousand. Eosfs are fairly plentiful and there is not likely to be a scarcity. Peonies are backward, on account of the weather. Locally the crop will be short, but the small flowers and plants, such as pansies, geraniums, heliotropes and marguerites, are all plentiful. On ac- count of the high prices of cut flowers it is expected that large quantities of plants will be used for cemetery pur- poses. E. S. K. BOCHESTEB. Rochester florists always plan for a good Memorial day business and seldom are disappointed. The demand for flowers this year bids fair to be larger than ever. Growers have been holding back their stock as far as possible, and indications point to a good supply of cut flowers and blooming plants. Prices run about as last year, with American Beauty roses in the lead at $25 for specials, wholesale. Bride and Maid. Killarney, Richmond and Maryland will bring from $3 to $5 a hundred. Carna- tions are quoted at from $2.50 to $5. Saturday, May 21, roses were retail- ing for 50 cents a dozen, carnations 25 cents and 35 cents, and sweet peas at 15 cents a bunch. E. F. R. Atlanta, Ga.— The Atlanta Floral Co. had a most effective window display re- cently in honor of the Music Festival and of Madame Fremstad in particular.

The first insertion brought so many orders that I was sold out in a short time. I had the advertisement omitted a week to catch up, then started again, and the first insertion once more cleaned me out, one mail bringing orders for over 3,300 and every day more orders. I was more than pleased; I was surprised; I did not expect anything like such prompt an- swers. I had orders from Georgia, North Carolina, Illinois, New York, Massachu- setts and other states besides my own I returned checks for at least $70 because I could not fill the orders brought by the advertisement.— E.

Tliatcher, of Arnold Arboretum, read before the Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club. Continued from the Revleji of May 12.] Arabis and Boccomas. Among the many low growing plants suitable for clothing the edge of the border there is nothing of greater merit than the double form of Arabis alpina, which is a very old plant, but was lost for many years to cultivation. It grows and blooms freely from spring until fall, and the pure white flowers are produced on spikes similar to a stock. Bocconias, or plume poppies, make extremely effective masses of glaucous coloring in the garden if ample space can be afforded them, but unless this is possible I do not advise planting them where they are likely to interfere with their weaker neighbors. B. microcarpa will grow eight feet high and produce ample foliage, which is uninjured by strong sunlight. A Hardy Calceolaria. We do not usually associate calceo- larias with hardy plants, but the intro- duction of a new variety has enabled us to have at least one representative which will thrive in the open ground. This is a hybrid named Golden Queen, with large golden-yellow flowers, and it is valuable, among other reasons, for its persistent flowering. Everyone admires the companulas, whether it be the miniature gems from the Alps, the beautiful harebell of Scot- land or the giant pyramidalis, but I think the most desirable for the border are the persicifolia section. These flower early in the summer, but if the stems are removed as soon as the blossoms have faded they continue to produce new growths for some time. Moerheimi and Newry Giant are two extremely fine dou- ble white varieties, and marginata, which has a band of pale blue on the edge of the petals, is attractive. Alba fl. pi. and grandiflora should also be included. Improved Chrysanthemum Maximum. Many new varieties of Chrysanthemum maximum have recently been produced, and though mere size is not always a desideratum I think in this case it has improved this useful plant. They are capable of making good masses of white and the long, stiff flowej-^tems render them serviceable for cut purposes. The Speaker and Mrs. LotM^n feell are the largest, and a variety named Eobinsoni, with fimbriated florets, is one of the most pleasing. For midsummer flowering, the herba- ceous clematis are a useful and beautiful family, worthy of inclusion in all gar- dens. C. erecta makes a fine bush, four feet high, covered with a multitude of white blossoms, but the variety mand- Bchurica, which is larger in all its parts, is even superior, and erecta flore pleno, with very double flowers, is of great merit. C. integrifolia Durandi has large blue flowers on robust stems, and C. coc- cinea, which is seen to the best advan- tage if grown on sticks in the same way as sweet peas, has scarlet and yellow flowers. Everyone is probably familiar with the American snakeroot, Cimicifuga race- mosa, and a beautiful plant it is, but those who need a more graceful species should plant C. simplex, which is, as yet, rare in gardens. It is smaller, generally, than its American congenor, but the There Is a Splendid Chapter on Greenhouse Heating In The Florists' Manual By WILLIAM SCOTT A complete reference book for commercial florists. 253 large pages, fully illustrated.

Belladonna is one of the few plants with sky-blue flowers, and though it will not withstand a severe winter, it should al- ways be grown, even if one has to pot it up. It has the desirable quality of send- ing up new flower stems for a long period, and the beautiful coloring is ap- preciated by all. Several varieties are now obtainable, the best of them being Belladonna grandiflora, which is larger generally than the type; B. semi-plena, sky-blue flushed lavender, and Moer- heimi, an excellent white form. For many years nurserymen have been en- deavoring to evolve a pure white, tall- growing delphinium, and they have at last succeeded in producing a variety ap- propriately named Nulli Secundus, which is certainly second to none, being very robust and of the finest white. Two excellent plants, especially for dry positions, are Euphorbia polychroma and E. corollata, the latter a North American species seldom seen in culti- vation. E. polychroma forms a sym- metrical bush, completely covered with conspicuous yellow bracts, and E. corol- lata bears white flowers in the greatest profusion.

ILLINOIS COAL SITUATION. With sixty days of idleness and with the prospect of a prolonged strike, the coal situation in Illinois has reached a serious point. The mountains of coal which were on hand before the strike May 26, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 81 WBIR TO ■^ 6E0.. B.

Seventy-five thousand miners have been out of work two months. The strike fund is said to be about $750,000, or $10 a man. This is not a strong equipment for a pro- longed strike, notwithstanding the ten per cent assessment of men who are employed. President Moorehead of the operators predicts that the strike will be of short duration, but President Walker of the miners says they will be out "until the snow flies." FIVE IOWA HOUSES. I have a range of five houses, each 24x63 feet, even-span, running north and south. There is a lean-to, 8x63, on the east side and an exposed concrete wall on the west, with one row of 20inch glass below the gutter. The south end is concrete, with a glass gable, while the north is protected to the gutters and part of the gables are protected by closed buildings. The east side has a bank of earth to the gutter. The houses measure six feet to the gut- ter plates and fourteen feet to the ridge. I wish to use 2-inch pipe, for hot water, placing both flow and returns under the benches, of which there are three in each house and two in the lean-to, with 1%-inch pipe. I wish to install another boiler, as the one on hand is not large enough since building recent additions. I prefer hot water lieating, and should be pleased to have ailvice as to the amount of piping and size of boiler to maintain a temperature of 60 degrees in zero weather. O. B. S. To heat the houses that are 24x63 feet, it will be well to use five 2-inch flows and ton 2-inch returns, except in the west house, in which an extra re- turn will be desirable. This will pro- vide two returns under each bench and upon each wall, with one flow for each of the coils. In the lean-to, use two 2-inch flows and five 1%-inch returns. To supply steam for this amount of '•adiation, a boiler rated for 4,000 square ft'et will be desirable. PIPING IN LOUISIANA. I wrote you some time ago that I in- tended building a greenhouse and grow- ing a general assortment of plants for l^cal trade. Since then I have been in 'orrespondence with one or two firms that furnish materials, and it seems to me that their prices might be a little "lore reasonable if they fully appreci- f>ted the fact that the outside temper- ature here seldom if ever goes below 20 degrees. I will start with one house, 20x40, Would You Save One-Quarter of Your Coal Bill? == INSTALL ===^== A Kitts Improved Hydraulic Damper Regulator. Florist Peter Crowe, Rose Place, Utlca, N. Y., voluntarily writes:— " I am very much pleased to let you know that the Damper Regulator I bought from you last fall is by far the best apparatus for greenhouse purposes. I had my book-keeper compare my coal bill of last with that of this year and I find a saving of one quarter the amount of this year's coal over last year's ; also the past winter was a great deal colder and longer than the winter before. " There is another very good feature about the Damper Regulator, as it keeps a uniform heat in all the houses at all times by putting on and shutting off pipes. And I find that my Roses and Ferns did far better this winter than any winter so far, as the temperature was so uniform at all times. " My reason for writing you is to let you know, and also to thank you for bringing my attention to the Regulator, and I assure you I cannot speak too highly of this machine."

By putting in two 2-inch flow pipes and six 2-inch returns, it will be possible to obtain a temperature of '60 degrees, and by adding one or two more returns higher temperatures can be obtained if desired. To heat the house 20x40 feet, a heater rated for 250 to 300 square feet of radiation will suffice, but if other houses will be added soon the boiler should be of sufficient capacity to take care of the increased area. While flues could be used, they would not be as satisfactory as hot water. Natural gas makes an excellent fuel for hot water heating, but could not be used with hot air flues. Even with hot water, the boiler room should be cut off tiom the greenhouse proper. CINCINNATI. The Market. There is a sufficiency of stock to meet all demands; in fact, the last few days the stock tended to accumulate. The receipts in general brought only fair prices; carnations and valley alone held a steady price. The volume of business was, nevertheless, large and the gross receipts satisfying. In roses, Beauties are meeting with a fair request. The two Killarneys and Kaiserin find ready purchasers. Bride and Maid, especially the latter, are a second choice. A large supply of carnations of good quality has been on hand. They sold, but were not eagerly picked up by the buyers. White carnations are an ex- ception. Compared to the numbers of the other colors offered they were rela- tively scarce and met a good request. Peonies from many local growers are offered in every wholesale house. Their quality is good. Plenty of lilies, double T^hite narcissi, jasmine and sweet peas s|re offered. Valley and eattleyas meet vith a ready sale. The quality of the ilew southern ferns is exceptional and ijiany are shipped. The supply of other greens is easily sufficient. , All indications point to a good busi- ness on Memorial day. Many large or- ders from local and out-of-town buyers have been booked. The wholesalers ex- pect plenty of stock of all kinds to meet the demand. Various Notes; C. . E. Critchell is receiving large duantities of double white narcissi. These flowers are splendid keepers. He is also offering valley from George & Allan 's, and eattleyas, which he expects throughout June. Mr, Critchell says he expects to have plenty of stock to fill his orders for Memorial day. William Murphy is receiving ship- ments of splendid giganteum lilies from A. S. Burns, of Spring Valley, N. Y. The good condition of the blooms upon arrival commends especially the con- signor's careful packing. Mr. Murphy also is handling exceptionally large lots of good carnations and sweet peas. Peter Weiland, quite well again, is back at the greenhouses after his so- journ at Hot Springs. Weiland & dinger are cutting excellent Kaiserin and White Killarney.

Boses of good variety retail at $1.50 per dozen; sweet peas at $1 per hundred blooms; callas and Easter lilies at $2 per dozen; snapdragons at 75 cents and $1 per dozen. Candytuft and other fine flowers help out greatly. Fu- neral work has been good lately. Bulb- ous stock is getting Scarce. Gladioli are now coming in. These are fine and $1 per dozen is the general price. Bed- ding plants, such as pansies, daisies, forget-me-nots, geraniums, verbenas, etc., are now in great demand for cemetery work. There is a good call for nice ferns in pots, which seem to be scarce. The weather of late has been cloudy, but it looks as if the ten weeks' stocks will be in on time for Memorial day.

PITTSBUEG. The Market. The weather conditions do not seem to favor the cut flower business to any great extent. There are quantities of all kinds of flowers coming in and the demand does not seem to keep up with the supply. The plantsmen, however, are in the midst of the rush. Stock of all kinds is good and the prices are fair; there are no more fancy prices for bedding stock in this market. For some reason there seems to be more experienced help to be had than is usually the case at this season, and this will help those who are, as a rule, overcrowded with Vork and will enable them to finish their planting before Memorial day.

BAIiTIMOSE. Tlie Market. The cut flower market has been quiet since last report. There was a change in the last two days of the week to real summer weather. On Saturday, May 21, the temperature rose to 89 degrees, which was more seasonable here than the kind of weather we have been hav- ing for the last few weeks. The effect on cut flowers is marked, the quantity being largely increased and the quality decidedly lowered. Killarney is holding up well, being easily the best pink rose on the market today. Its chief drawback is the short- ness of the stems on most of the flowers. Brides and Maids are still in heavy supply and are moving slowly, tarna- tions have suffered more than roses. The fancy stock is far from plentiful, but the cheaper grades can be had for a song. Quite a number of the growers have cleaned their houses out. Inside sweet peas are extremely poor. The arrival of some outdoor stock is welcomed with joy. Peonies of superb quality are increasing in number, a moderate supply of southern stock being quite overshadowed by the home-grown product. All the colors can now be had and finer stock would be hard to find. So far the supply has not been ahead of the demand, but any day may cause a change in the situation. Dagger ferns are plentiful, with the prices irregular. Decoration day prospects are quite promising for almost any kind of cut flowers, and as potted plants are being used extensively, it looks as though we will have a heavy demand. Various Notes. The Gardeners' and Florists' Club had an entertainment and smoker at the club rooms on Monday, May 23. Halliday Bros, are cutting one of the largest crops of peonies they have had in ten years. F. C. Bauer reports heavy demands for rose bushes, of which he grows large quantities. Q. Fergus Falls, Minn. — August Ander son, of Mehlin's Greenhouses, has in- vAitBd a machine which will wash pots while the plants are growing in them. West De Pere, Wis.— A. Van Gemert has found it necessary to seek other quarters, owing to increasing business and lack of space at his present loca- tion. He will therefore remove to Grant street, between Third and Fourth streets. The buildings which he will occupy will be thoroughly remodeled and renovated.

Extract from paper read by John H. Dunlop before a convention of the Canadian Horticultural Association: "Campbell's Sulphur Vaporizer is an Enf lish intent and a trifle expensive, but very effective, and elimi- nates almost allot the dan^erof ignition.

"The Lord & Burnham Company Semi-Iron Greenhouse Structure which I purchased in 1908 is one of the best, If not tbe best, in Texas.

"Splendid cypress material, good ventilating apparatus, simple and strong, in short, everything A No. 1.

The Permanent Indestructible Concrete Bench There is no longer a doubt that the Wilson-Hoyt Co. Cement Bench Ib the only one to nse, and the more you realize that you will have to do some- thing about the benches very eoon, and your own good judgment tells you that you should never build wood benches again, for the concrete ones can be built as cheaply, and when once installed that ends the ex- pense. We farniib you with our com- plete moulds, enough for one or two benches the entire length of your house, with the steel rein- forcements already cut, bent and ready to place, cheaper than you can buy material for a good wooden bench.

Another society devoted to the iii- terests of a special flower was ausji- ciously launched at Boston May l.'7, when some twenty gladiolus enthusiasts met pursuant to a call sent out In- Maurice Fuld, manager of W. W. Raw- son & Co. The meeting was held at Horticul- tural hall, advantage being taken (if the presence of a large number df trade visitors at Boston for the big orchid show then in progress. There being only one view as to the desiia- b'lity of organization, the work Mas. put through with vim. A constitution and by-laws was presented and adopted. The names of seventy-five charter mem- bers were enrolled. The following offi- cers were elected: President — I. S. Hendrickson, Floral Park, N. Y. Vice-president — E. H. ('ushman, Syl- vania, O. Treasurer — Maurice Fuld, Boston, Mass. Corresponding secretary — L. Merton Gage, Orange, Mass. Financial secretary — H. Youell, Syra- cuse, N. Y. Executive committee — Arthur T. Boddington, New York city; Arthur Kirby, New York city; J. K. Alex- ander, East Bridgewater, Mass. Committee on nomenclature — Arthur Cowee, Berlin, N. Y.; Prof. L.. B. Jud- son, Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.; Leonard Joerg, Floral Park, N. Y. Prof. George E. Stone, of Amherst, who was the temporary chairman, gave an interesting talk on floriculture and its relation to the farm and homo. Maurice Fuld, who had called the meet- ing to order, later read a paper, pr<- pared by H. Youell, of Syracuse, N. Y., giving the history of some of the early varieties of Gandavensis hybrids, which was given a vote of thanks. The So- ciety of American Florists tendered an invitation to the American Gladiolus Society to hold its first annual exhibi- tion at Rochester, N. Y., in August, ii connection with the annual convention of the S. A. F. The invitation was ai ■ cepted. The department of horticulture it* Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., through Prof. L. B. Judson, tenderel the use of its trial grounds and tl;c cooperation of its members in testing the varieties of gladioli along the lin*^ of the tests now in progress, coopera - ing with the American Peony Societ and the National Sweet Pea Society. The offer was accepted with hearty a] preciation. Among those who partic • pated in the spirited discussions inci- dent to the work of organization were: Arthur Cowee, Berlin, N. Y. ; I. ^• Hendrickson, Floral Park. N. Y.; Arthur T. Boddington. New York, N. Y.; Cail Cropji, Chicago, II!.; Maurice Fuld, Bea- ton, Mass.; ,T. K. Alexander, Ea?t Bridgewater. Mass.; Robert Cameron, Harvard Botanic Gardens; Eugene Fisher, Jamaica Plain, Mass.; L. Mei- ton Gage, Orange, Mass.; Montagii*^ Chamberlain, Boston, Mass.; Prof. L. ^■ Judson. Ithaca, N. Y., and others. jLNK 2, imo. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 9 MEMORIAL DAT. The demand for flowers never has been so strong on Memorial day as it was in the present year. In the cen- tral west a portion of the increased de- mand may be credited to the shortage of outdoor flowers as a result of the April frosts, but in the east the in- crease was almost equally great and there had been no frosts to destroy out- door flowers. The fact is tftat Memorial day has become the greatest flower day of the year. So far as quantity of stock goes, it eclipses Easter or Christ- mas, though naturally prices are lower than at other special flower dates. John K. M. L. Farquhar, Chairman Orchid Show G)mmittee. ROBERT CAMERON. Robert Cameron, as his name would in- dicate, is a Scotchman by birth, being a native of Invernesshire, that county where the most perfect English is sup- posed to be spoken. He early mani- fested a desire for gardening and after some training in Scotland went to Kew Gardens, London, where he remained several years, getting an excellent bo- tanical and practical insight into flori- culture, under the best teachers in that world-famous training school. He came to the United States twenty-four years ago, finding employment on the once famous Payson estate, in Watertown, later going to the Waban Rose Conserv- atories, Natick, and working under Alexander Montgomery for two years. In 1889, on the retirement of W. A. Manda to join the firm of Pitcher & Manda, he was called to take charge of the Harvard Botanic Gardens, and it is safe to say that these gardens were never more satisfactorily cared for than during the twenty-one years of Mr. Cam- [Coiitiniipd on page 46.] NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. The National Flower Show Commit- tee of the Society of American Florists li'ld a meeting at Horticultural hall, liiisston, May 25. at which F. R. Pierson, I'lisident of the society and chairman \v in Mechanics' building, Boston, -M nch 18 to 25, 1911. It was consid- 'I'i that this building offers much the '"^t opportunity which will then be 'I I liable in Boston. The rental for •I eight days is $4,900, and the space •>\ lilable will permit of a much larger ^! 'W than the first one, held at Chi- "■:!-;o. I'he committee authorized the em- 1'' vnient of C. I. Campbell as secre- '• y of the committee and manager of "' .exhibition. East Moriches, N. Y.— E. Stanley 'J I own, proprietor of the Dahlia Farm, si'ils large quantities of choice stock, ooth wholesale and retail, and yet he 'i!'idly knows, he says, whether he should classify himself as a commercial florist ^^' an amateur, since he is engaged in *''e work largely for the sake of testing "le different varieties and experimenting ^^'th them. During the present year, he ^■'.^'s, he expects to test a large number ^\ dahlia seedlings which have been '"'ither proved nor named.

The Department of Horticulture of the College of Agriculture, Cornell Uni- versity, has just issued its third report on the classification of the peony. This bulletin of seventy-six pages is written by Leon D. Batchelor, but embodies the work of B. H. Farr, president of the American Peony Society, and J. Dau- phin, of the Cottage Gardens Co., who were appointed by the Peony Society as a special nomenclature committee to work with Mr. Batchelor in the soci- ety's test plots at Cornell. During the flowering season of 1909 the test plots were gone over by Messrs. Farr, Dau- phin and Batchelor, and from compari- sons with the originators' descriptions precise descriptions were formulated for some 400 varieties, the descriptions constituting the principal part of this latest bulletin. A considerable number of synonyms have been discovered and classified and in future work it is ex- pected that the identity of many more varieties will be determined with such accuracy that much of the heretofore existing confusion will be eliminated. Before undertaking exact descriptions of the varieties it was necessary to formulate definitions for the various characters in order that the descriptions might be intelligent. The method of description followed in the bulletin is shown by the following two typical ex- amples: ' ' Edulis superba. — Species, P. albi- flora. Originated by Lemon, 1824. Do- nated by Dessert, Goos & Koeneniann, Cottage Gardens Co., and Peterson Nurs- eries. "Description in brief. — Large, loose, dark pink (Mauve 2 (181)), crown type bloom; rather flat when full open. Early. Extra good commercial bloom. "Description in detail. — Large, loose, flat crown with a few narrow lilac 1 (176) petals at collar. Large tuft of wide petals, same coldr as guards, sur- rounding a few narrow petals in ex- treme center of bloom; prominent col- lar. Odor pleasant. Same season and colpr as General Bertrand, but it differs in Having a collar and crown, while General Bertrand is a bomb; the latter is a more upright grower also. ' ' Synonyms. — Identical with the above are Delia, Edulis odorata, Rosa lilacina, Mamie Cutler, Sylvanus, Gloire de Douai, Pizano, Early Rose, Acanum, Sainfoin and Lilacina superba. The above so-called varieties are synonyms pure and simple. No record can be found of the origination of any bona fide varieties under the aforementioned names; they should be stricken from the trade and this variety placed under the proper name, Edulis superba. "In addition to the above synonyms this variety has masqueraded undir the following names, which in reality are standard varieties, and there should be no confusion between them and Edulis superba: L'Esperance, Alexandriane, Jeanne d'Arc, Rosa Plenissima, Duchess de Nemours (Guerin), Jules Elie, Gen- eral Bertrand, Solfatare, Compte de Paris, Triomphe du Nord, Triumphe de 1 'Exposition de Lille, and Fragrans. ' ' Remarks. — There seems to be more confusion over this variety than any other, and it has been sent to the Cor- nell plots under each of the above twen- ty-three names; and in some cases Edu- lis superba has come under three or four different names from a single nursery. ' ' "Marechal Vaillant. — Species, P. al- biflora. Originated by Calot, 1867. Do- nated by Croux Bros., Fewkes. Desstit, Peterson Nurseries and Charlton. "Description in brief. — Very lar/;e, compact, medium pink (pure mauve 8 (181)), rose type bloom. Very lao. good variety, good commercial blocn! "Description in detail. — Typical rose bloom, borne on a large, coarse, thi. k stem, poorly furnished. Odor unple;is- ant. Tall, strong growing plant, steins rather weak at the base, giving plant a spreading habit. Medium bloonn v^ laterals undeveloped., Coarse, heavy stem and foliage is a distinguishing characteristic of the variety. "Synonym. — Identical with the above is the so-called grandiflora rubra. "Remarks. — Souvenir d'Augusto, Miellez, is said to be identical with the above by prominent growers. From correspondence with A. Dessejrt. " FUNKIA UNDULATA VARIEOATA. Kindly instruct me how to handle Funkia undulata variegata to have it for Easter. Should it be potted in the spring or fall? J. P. M. This beautiful variegated funkia, which is also sometimes called F. un dulata media variegata, is better pot- ted in late fall when wanted for Easter sales. Keep the plants over winter in a coldframe and bring into a cool greenhouse six or eight weeks before being wanted. C. W. GOOD SOETS TO START WITH. I should like to grow a couple of houses of chrysanthemums and I want to plant them now. Would you please advise me what varieties to buy and also state the time when the buds should be taken? When may I expect the first'' (flowers? I intend to grow early and' late varieties mostly, but also some midseason sorts. I am locat- ed in Illinois. F. K. A selection of early varieties may in- clude the following: Pacific, Polly Rose, Monrovia, Golden Glow, October Frost, C. Touset and Early Snow. The buds on these can be taken at varying dates, from July 12 in the case of Mon- rovia and Golden Glow, to August 1 for October Frost and its yellow sports, and August 20 for Pacific, Polly Rose and Touset. Some midseason varieties that do well generally are: Duckham, Apple- ton, President Taft, Mrs. Partridge, M. Desjouis, Ivory and its sports, Bon- naffon and White and Yellow Eaton. The buds are safe on these varieties after August 20 to 25, in almost any location, so far as I know. The late kinds mostly grown are Nagoya, White and Yellow Chadwick, J. Nonin, Enguehard, J. Shrimpton, J. Rosette, Maud Dean and W. T. Brock. In growing for late flowers the plants should not be benched till July and then should be kept grawing along as long as possible before the bud is taken. The later the bud is taken, the better, as it will make the flowers cor respondingly late, and the kinds men tioned all do well on terminal buds. C. H. Totty.

Y., ri>n(l at. a meeting of ttie Nassau County Horti- . iiltural Society in Glen Cove, N. Y.] 1 venture to say that there is not one of you before me tonight but what has original or peculiar methods, from which you have elaborated a system which gov- erns the growth and beauty of the car- nation. It will not be necessary, there- fore, for me to enter into minute details of the subject, since there is scarcely a gentleman present who has not proved himself to be eflScient in this particular line. I shall just touch lightly on the various stages of the growth of the car- nation, after giving a few particulars about its early history. Origin and Early History. The carnation, Dianthus Caryophyllus, is a native of southern Europe and is sometimes found in Britain in a wild state, where it had been introduced by cultivation. The name carnation is from the Latin word caro, carnis, meaning "flesh," and having reference to the flesh color of the original. This plant is supposed to have been in cultivation for over 2,000 years. Theophrastus, in his "History of Plants," says, "The Greeks cultivate roses, gillyflowers, violets, narcissi and iris," the gillyflower being the old Eng- lish name for the carnation. However, it was not till the beginning of the six- teenth century that the carnation gained I prominent place in the mind and eye ' f the representatives of the flow8r-lov- 'flg nations of the world, namely, the gar- '■eners, who seemed to grasp with pro- phetic zeal the importance of such ac- uisition and herald the coming magnifi- •ince, beauty and fragrance of the car- ation of the future. Early Classifications. The French, who were enthusiastic over !ie numerous different varieties, at- empted a classification of them. In 1597 Gerard wrote that to describe each new ariety would be diflScuIt, seeing they ^ere as countless as sand. As I have ;aid, the French sought to introduce a 'ittle order in this line and arranged all he varieties in three classes: First, '^renadins, embracing those with strong perfume, flowers of medium size, either single or double, petals fringed and of '>ne color; second, Flamands, including ihose with large flowers, sound and dou- ble, rising in the center to form a con- vex surface, petals entire, either one color "r striped with two or more colors; third, Fancies, embracing those with colors ar- ranged in bands on light grounds, the petals fringed or otherwise. Tlie British classification of those varieties divided them into four sections: First, Flakes, or those having ja. pure ground of white or yellow, and flaked or striped with one color; second, Selfs, or those possessing only one color; third, Bizarres, or those having a pure ground, marked, as in the flakes, with two or more colors; fourth, Picotees, or those having a pure ground of white or yellow, and each petal hav- ing a band of color around its cxtriMnc edge. In the Nineteenth Century. In the early part of the nineteenth cen- tury the British gardeners recognized the importance of giving particular attention to the developing and perfecting of such flowers as give promise of future great- ness, and thus gradually, through the great interest shown by many prominent men in our profession, every age has added to the grace, beauty and fragrance of the carnation, until at the present day it has taken such a hold on the hearts of the American nation that we hear whisperings of a likelihood that in the future it will dethrone our niuch-loved rose and reign supreme as queen of the flower world. But I am inclined to think this is an undue stretch of the imagiu.a- tion, as I believe thiit the rose is well able to hold its exalted position against all comers, even carnations. I should just like tu .say a word about the Malmaison carnation. This is a va- riety that I have been much interested in since I was a boy, and last spring I had some plants imported, but I was not suc- cessful with them, owing to their condi tion on their arrival, as they were mucli infected with stem-rot. However, I may try again, as this is a family that would gladden the heart of all lovers of carna- tions. Modern Culture. Modern carnation culture calls fortii our best energies, not only for exhibition purposes, but for our own satisfaction, since we have the knowledge that we have done our utmost to produce the besi results. The varieties to be chosen for the com ing season depend largely on our fancy or on the favor of those who employ us. As examples, let me mention White Per fecfion, Rose-pink Enchantress, Enchant ress, Beacon, Imperial, Victory and Win sor. When any grower has only the use of one house, it is not advisable to grow a great many varieties, seeing we must keep in mind our table decoration and the prevailing tendency to have one color on the table, and if we adopt two or three varieties we will be better able to provide for the wants of those in authority.

GRAPTOPHYLLUM PICTUM. (ira])to|ihyllum pictum in ouo of a small genus of shrubs from the southern trop- ics and is the most valued Jind orna- mental of the species. It is a tender evergreen shrub, grown in our northern freenhouses entirelj' for the beauty of its oliage. Although the illustration does not very well show the variegation, the leaves are most irregularly marked and blotched with yellow, no two leaves being alike. It grows to a height of seven to ten feet, but smaller specimens are more ornamental in the conservatory. Ordi- nary good loam, with a warm tempera- ture, will grow it freely. The flower is scarlet, but not conspicuous. There is a variety of the above called lurido san guinea, with purplish leaves and red veins. '^l0^.'m'K.''m'.-..>mr.>mu,.'^>..'^r./i^.-m^<^.^^^:i^^^ I SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS ^.^*<^.^'f^.^*^S I Allamanda Williamsi. Allamanda Williamsi makes one of the best summer flowering pot plants. It is an especial favorite at Newport, R. I., and other fashionable summer resorts, nicely grown plants making beauti- ful centerpieces. Plants started early in April in a brisk heat, and kept in a warm house, will now be showing flower. It gives the flowers more substance if they are not grown in too shady a structure. They will stand full sun and even grow outdoors. In the lat- ter case the flowers take on a bronzy hue. A greenhouse kept about 55 degrees at night will now suit A. Williamsi well. Let the plants have an abundance of water and, as the pots rapidly fill with roots, use liquid cow^ manure water or a top-dressing of Clay's Tertilizer once a week. These allamandas flower for months, and as they are adaptable for cutting for market purposes and are of easy culture, they are worthy of more attention. Soft-wood cuttings will root in a month in a warm house. Achimenes. Whether achimenes are grown in pots, pans or baskets, they are excellent sum- mer blooming plants. In Europe they are greater favorites than here, but the large flowered varieties, such as alba maxima and Margaretta, are useful florists' plants where choice pot plants in bloom are wanted in July and Au- gust. They last remarkably well in the dwelling house and, when in active growth, do well in a house suitable for gloxinias. They can be moved to a cold, airy house as the flowers open. The compost should be light, porous, but fairly rich; one-half fibrous loam, one-fourth cow manure, one-fourth flaky leaf-mold and a good dash of sand suits them nicely. Do not let the direct sun strike them, as the foliage will readily scald, and in watering avoid wetting the foliage as much as pos- sible. Eight or nine growths are ample for a 6-inch pot .or pan, and these should each have light stakes before the flowers start to expand. Hydrangeas. The arrival of Memorial day means a heavj' diminution in the supplies of flowering plants, and hydrangeas are in as much demand as any other pot plant at that season. There is, with many, considerable sale for these plants through .Tune and July. Late blooming stock should have some shade, to re- duce watering and keep the flower heads of a good color. Plant out young stock rooted early in the year. Choose a well manured piece of land, inclined to be moist. If some water can be given during severe droughts, it will be a great benefit. It is not too late even now to root a good batch of cuttings. These, if kept growing along in pots, will be fit to flower in 6-inch pots next spring with one or two large heads each. Plant out any unsold stock, after heading them back well. These will make fine, big specimens another year. Large plants carried over winter in cold cellars will now be outdoors and must have an abundant water supply. As they start into active growth, apply liquid manure freely, as hydrangeas are gross feeders. Cannas. In planting out beds of cannas, it is always a mistake to have them mounded up toward the center. The plants will not make nearly as good growth in these as when the beds are level or even a little sunken, unless they are copiously watered. Cannas enjoy a warm, moist and rich soil, but in the early stages of growth, when the nights are liable to be rather chilly, it is be^r not to water too freely. Be sure i > plant out a sufficient quantity of stoc'c plants for yourselves before the bed ding season is too far advanced. It i< sometimes necessary to refuse lati' orders, strong as the temptation may b>' to fill them with plants needed by oui selves. . Nerines. Xeriaes will now^ have completed their growth and the foliage will show signs of decaying on some of them. Thev will d;i well now stood outdoors in full sun on a bed of- cinders. Do not drv them olf too suddenly, but withhold water by degrees. By the middle of June, when the foliage Avill all be assuni ing a golden hue, lay them on their sides on a hot, sunny bank, where they can get a thorough baking all sum mer long. They will need no further attention until the middle or end of September, when the flower spikes will commence to push and the pots can be moved into a frame or cool green liouse and watered. Variegated Vinca. Variegated vinca is one of the most generally useful of hanging plants for vases, piazza boxes and window boxes, and there never seems to be much of a surplus of it. Be sure to reserve and plant out a sufficient quanity of plants for propagating purpose^j. Cuttings rooted during the winter do not make • plants of sufficient size for the bulk of customers and are better grown a season in the field, when they make heavy clumps by fall. As the propagating benches will now be less in service, take off a good batch of cuttings with a heel. Keep them shaded and well soaked with water. Few will fail to root. Pot these, and, to get a nice growth on them, plunge them in an empty coldframe in old manure. Scatter a little fine manure on top of the ground. Water freely and they will make nice plants before fall. Astilbe Japonica. If you have been growing Astilbe Graptophyllum Pictum. JUNB 2, 1910.

By the end of the , ond season you will have big, heavy I ;)nps, which will need dividing into ;: lee or four in some cases, and these \ ill flower far better than any you en buy in Holland or Belgium. If you (11 spare the ground, grow some of your (IV n spiraea clumps. You will be sur- prised to see how well they grow and h'W finely they will force. Astilbe Queen Alexandra. Speaking of astilbes reminds us that while the glorious peach-pink variety, (^ueen Alexandra, is as yet seen only in moderate quantities commercially, it is getting cheaper each year and is liound to have a tremendous sale, ospecially at Memorial day. Probably tlie white forms will continue to be t'iivored at Easter. This astilbe does not take kindly to early and hard forc- ing, but if allowed to come on in a cool house it is superb at the end of May. It is of vigorous habit and 5- inch pots of it will carry more spikes tlian any other astilbe, either pink or white. The plants want a shaded liouse when opening, to prevent the fading out of the flowers. Every grower should plan to buy some of these and grow them for Memorial day, 1911. Lorraine Begonias. If you do not propagate your own Lorraine begonias — and it is far bet- ter for many small growers to se- cure stock from some reliable special- ist— the present is a suitable time to jmrehase a quantity of young plants. Keep them in a rather warm house which is not heavily shaded. When 1 lotting use plenty of flaky leaf -mold, i^orraine begonias like a light and moderately rich soil, through which water passes freely. It is not yet too lite to take cuttings from any old stock plants. Some good bottom cuttings are low being produced and these will root '■adily. The slow rate of growth on '.orraines during the early summer ' tenths is discouraging to beginners in ■ leir culture. They make rapid head- ay with the coming of cooler even- igs in August. Tender Nymphaeas. The weather is now sufficiently settled I allow the planting out of any of the ■nder water lilies. Of the day-bloom- ig varieties a few of the best are: ^. Capensis, Cape Blue water lily; N. icrulea, blue Egyptian lotus; N. Zan- ibariensis, deep blue; N. Zanzi- ariensis rosea, rose; N. pulcherrima, 'ght blue, a hybrid of N. cserulea; Mrs. '. "W. Ward, rosy pink, very fine. Of light bloomers a few good sorts are: '^. rubra, purplish red; N. Sturtevantii, I'ink, sometimes red; N. dentata, white; ^'. dentata magnifica, creamy white; •V. Deaniana, light pink; N. Devoniensis, red." Lilies do best planted in natural beds <^f mud, but, as this is not always at *'ommand, half barrels answer well for A, Alost. a season, also boxes three to five feet square and a foot deep; six to twelve inches should be allowed between top of boxes and water surface. Use half cow manure and half loam for compost. Cover with three inches of sand, to prevent washing away after the plants are placed in them. Never plant water lilies in a shady spot; they want the fullest sunlight. ALOST OF NEW ORLEANS. A. Alost, president of the New Or- leans Horticultural Society, started .lune 1 for a tour of Europe, to occupy the greater part of the summer. He will visit all the larger horticultural establishments in Europe in the inter- est of his private business and at the same time to exploit the horticultural department of the Panama Exposition, to be held at New Orleans in 1915. The New Orleans Horticultural Society intends that in so far as horticulture is concerned this exposition shall be the grandest ever held in America and it is earnestly desired that all leading hor- ticulturists, not only in this country but in Europe, participate in it. It has been the annual practice of Mr. Alost to entertain the society at dinner at Kose Villa Nursery, "the event coming just before his departure for Europe, the society expressed its love and esteem for its president by re- sponding to the invitation in large num- bers, there being more than 100 mem- bers and guests seated about the tables when the festivities began. While the steaming dishes were being served Sec- retary C. R. Panter presented Mr. Alost with a silver tea set and also a hand- some traveling bag. His remarks on behalf of the society were expressive of the good will that went with the gift. This little incident unnerved the host, but he responded happily, and resigned his office as toastmaster in favor of Secretary Panter, who acquit- ted himself with dignity. Among those who spoke were P. A. Chopin, U. J. Virgin, C. W. Eichling, Joseph Steckler, Ed. Baker, Harry Pap- worth and several guests not members of the trade, A toast was proposed to John Eblen, the treasurer of the so- ciety, who was detained at home. After the dinner the guests were taken about the establishment and upon returning to the house were again treated to light refreshments. The la- dies of the house entertained with songs and music and dancing in the big par- lors. The crowds left Rose Villa long after dark and were brought to their respective destinations in the big wagons of Joseph Steckler. The New Orleans Horticultural So- ciety is 26 years old and a local news- paper, in an account of the dinner, said the society has done more toward beau- tifying New Orleans than any other or- ganization. The officers are: A. Alost, president; Herman Doescher, vice-president; C. R. Panter, secretary; John Eblen, treas- urer.

After having been four years in tlie business at Secaucus, N. J., Carrillo & Baldwin this spring removed to a new location at Mamaroneck, N. Y., where their facilities are admirable and capa- ble of indefinite expansion. The accom- panying illustrations show the plant as it appeared a few weeks ago. There now are three greenhouses of modern type and another, 50x125 feet, is being erected. The property consists of fif- teen acres, lying on the hills that over- look the sound and a glorious stretch of suburban country. The land is devoted to summer crops of various kinds and one of the side lines is poultry farm- General Appraiser McClelland, in over- ruling the importers' claim, stated: "That willow is wood according to the common understanding of the word there is no question, and in the absence of the provision for manufactures of osier or willow, baskets made of wil- low would, beyond doubt, be subject to duty under the provision for bas- kets of wood. Neither may it be gain- said that a provision for 'baskets of osier or willow' would be narrower and more specific than one for 'mami- factures of osier or willow,' and it fol- lows that the provision for baskets of wood is more specific than that for manufactures of wood, but we think that as between the existing provisions New Establishment of Carrillo & Baldwin, Mamaroneck, N. Y. ing, tiierc being model chicken houses, with over a thousand chicks of various ages and double that number on their incubator way. There are horses, cows and everything a country gentleman needs to make life worth living. The importation of South American orchids is, of course, the main issue with the firm, and L. F. Carrillo is now in South America collecting cattleyas. He has already this season shipped home over 1,000 cases. In Brazil the firm also has a force of hunters send- ing home labiata. Mr. Carrillo is a native of Colombia. George E. Bald- win, who attends to the receiving and selling end, hails from Yorkshire, Eng- land. In addition to the business in freshly imported orchids, a large stock of established plants is carried and in the greenhouses there are many things of striking interest to an orchid enthu- siast. DUTY ON WILLOW BASKETS. Under a decision handed down May 25, by the Board of General Appraisers, dealers in florists' supplies who im- port willow baskets will be compelled to pay duty on their importations at the rate of forty-five per cent ad valorem, as manufacturers of willow under the provision of paragraph 212 of the Tariff Act of 1909. Several alternative claims were made for lower rates of duty, but in a brief filed by counsel for pro- testants, the only claim relied upon was that made for duty at the rate of thir- ty-five per cent ad valorem under para- graph 214 of said act as baskets of wood. for 'manufactures of osier or willow' and 'baskets of wood,' when consid- ered in the light of Congressional ac- tion in respect thereof, as we have be- fore stated it, the purpose is shown to eliminate from every general or blan- ket provision for wood or manufac- tures thereof, one particular kind of wood, to wit: osier or willow and all articles made thereof. In other words. Congress has said that for tariff pur- poses willow is not wood. The lan- guage of paragraph 212 applying to osier or willow and manufactures thereof is so specific that it could not be applied to any other kind of wood or articles made of any other kind of wood. To uphold the view of protes tants would, in large measure, destrov its meaning." POWDER PASTES. In The Eeview of May 19 I notice.I the inquiry of C. F. C, with referenc' to a powder which, he said, was use. I as a paste for attaching labels to boxes and was called Paste Substitute. Ho said he had formerly used it and had found it the best preparation for thi' purpose he had ever seen, but that he had lost the address of the manufac turers. I also noticed, in The Review of May 26, a reply to this inquiry. The reply was signed A. W. L. and was sub stantially as follows: "Though I can not give any information about that particular sort of paste, there is an other brand of powder paste which J can recommend. It is used by my firm, by the Henry A. Dreer Corporation and other florists, and also by the Adams I^xpress Co. It is called Dextrine and is manufactured by the Steele & At wood Co., of Chicago. I think it is the best paste that can be had for attach ing labels." Now, T have been considering the use of this kind of paste and am glad to learn from these correspondents that it is a good thing. Like A. W. L., I am unable to give to the inquirer the name of the firm that makes the powder called Paste Substitute, but I can tell him about another article of the same sort, a small sample of which was re cently sent to me by the makers. It is called the Instanter Cold Water Powder and is for sole by Binney & Smith Co., SI and 83 Fulton street. New York city. This is another of the "add water and serve" preparations and any florist who does a shipping trade will appre ciate how much more convenient it is to handle than are the old liquid pastes. Geo. P. Merrifield. Houghton, Mich.— Alfred W. York, of the Lakeside Floral Co., says that the business in cut flowers and plants in the northern peninsula of Michigan is increasing phenomenally, the sales of his own concern jumping twenty-five tc forty per cent every year.

When is a geranium not. a geranium? When it isn't in flower at bedding-out time. Here is a word of wisdom from John E. Lapes, of Cedar Eapids. "Competi- tors ni«y imitate, ' ' he says, ' ' but they do not, in"" any strict sense, follow." Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Eeview $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar bill that insures fifty- two copies. Some growers think that the way to pjet the most money out of their stock is to put it iu competition with itself by shipping to two commission houses in the same city. That question of express rates is as deep as the rates themselves are high; express charges affect railroad income, and the cost of transportation adds to the expense of growing stock, and of marketing it. The frosts that put outdoor flowers out of commission for Memorial day may have been an ill wind for those who look to this source for a little extra money, but it "blew good" to a lot of growers under glass who can make equally good use of the coin. The Ladies' Home Journal for June pictures a dozen styles of graduation bouquets by Charles Thorley, New York. Such publicity is a great thing for the trade; the more people see of the way other people use flowers, the better it is for all concerned in* the production and distribution of flowers. A LEGAL QUESTION. In regard to the legal question asked by G. H. P. on the contents page of The Eeview, in the issue of May 26, I do not think he has any direct remedy against the cemetery association for sell- ing stock outside of the grounds. His only course would be to notify the county auditor and treasurer of the facts and ask them to put the whole cemetery, if possible — i. e., if any of the stock sold is grown on the burial grounds, or if not, that part used as the conserva-. tories — on the tax duplicate. If the county officials then neglect to do this, G. H. P. should go to court and man- damus them to compel them to tax the cemetery association. A few years ago the county treas- urer in this part of Ohio placed some property owned by a local cemetery upon the tax duplicate, because corn was grown upon the cemetery land. As soon as this was done, the ceme- tery association stopped growing the grain, though it had been used to feed the stock that worked in the cemetery, and sowed the soil with grass seed and plante Harrisll Lilies Short Valley Sweet Peas Fancy Pansies Marguerites Daisies, Shasta and Yellow Peonies Jasmine Mignonette Plumosus Sprays, Sprengeri Plumosus Strings, extra long, per string, 60c Smilax per dozen, $2.00 to $2.50 Qalax per 1000, 1.25 Ferns " 3.00 Adiantum Adiantum Croweanum Per 100 $ 8.00 $3.00 to 3.00 to 6.00 4.00 8.00 6.00 4.00 4.00 3.00 2.00 10.00 8.00 3.00 to .50 to 4.00 to 1.50 to 6.00 to 3.00 to 4. 1. 1. 1 2 8 00 00 50 75 50 00 00 2.00 8.00 4.00 1.00 1.50 SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE POEHLM ANN'S FANCY VALLEY i*«"J"«f.vr*'|'t, EXTRA FINE HARRISII LILIES fonA^^iltr: tjiat every May may be as good for "lem.

Figuring on the difference in prices, he estimates that more than twice and possibly nearly three times as many flowers were handled. Through the death of W. E. Kelley, W. N. Rudd becomes president of the Horticultural Society of Chicago. The vice-presidents elected last January, in the order named, were W. N. Rudd, E. "Wienhoeber and August Poehlmann. C. I». Washburn says that Bassett & Washburn sold more roses May 27 and 28 than in any two days of the previous history of the concern. O. W. Frese has left Poehlmann Bros. Co., after a connection of several years' duration. Gus Alles says that Memorial day with Wietor Bros, was better than any- one about the place expected. They weie lucky in having a fine crop of red carnations. The automatic telephone people are working hard to get the wholesalers and the retailers in the downtown dis- trict to let new instruments be in- stalled, but are meeting with little suc- cess. When the automatic phone was first offered nearly everyone in the wholesale section put it in, but it was not long before it was recognized that two telephone systems simply are a nuisance. C. M. Dickinson says that E. H. Hunt's cut flower sales for May 27, 28 and 29 were twenty per cent ahead of the same three days last year, prin- cipally because of larger supplies of peonies. Mrs. Moore, who sells for N. C. Moore & Co. in the Flower Growers' Market, has had a bad time with her right hand for three weeks as the result of poison- ing caused, she thinks, by handling Sprengeri. E. F. Winterson Co. had 1,000 pond lilies for Memorial day, probably the first time these flowers ever were offered in quantity so early.

It seemed to take just the touch of hoi sun that came May 28 to set them going. The esteemed Tribune has been so hot-foot on the trail of Billy Lorimer that it did not hear of the marriage of O. P. Bassett, March 24, until May 31, when it published a scare head over an account that was good reading if not strictly accurate. Charles Zapfe, who had been in the hospital for three weeks, rejoined the J. A. Budlong store force in time for the Memorial day rush, minus his vermiform appendix and still rather weak. Vaughan & Sperry say that there can be no shortage of Beauties during June, though most of their crop now is long- stemmed. A. L. Bandall says this was not only much the biggest Memorial day on- record, but that he considers it the most satisfactory in his experience, con- sidering the interests of grower, whole- saler and retailer. Tim Matchen thinks the local retail- ers had as good a Memorial day as the wholesalers did. He says several who stocked up heavily Saturday bought again in quantity Sunday and were down early Monday for further sup- plies. Among last week's visitors were: Alfred W. York, of the Lakeside Floral Co., Houghton, Mich., buying Memorial day supplies; N. J. Hayman, of the Hayman Greenhouse Co., Clarksburg, W. Va., buying greenhouse material; James B, Wild, Sarcoxie, Mo., father of Gilbert H. Wild, and on his first visit here in seventeen years. The E. Wienhoeber Co. will soon be- gin work on an addition to the store building at 22 Elm street. One of the greenhouses is to be sacrificed for an addition which is to contain a new workroom, the present space being in- adequate whefl all hands are busy making up. Kennicott Bros. Co. states that its sales last week exceeded the record for the whole month of December. So much for the importance of the peony as a Memorial day flower. Mike Fink says he ate and slept in the store from Tuesday morning to Saturday night. Louis Wittbold says May was the biggest spring month the George Witt- bold Co. ever has had, but that June promises splendidly. Shipping trade has been especially good. A new retail catalogue mailed just before Memorial day is a fine example of the printing arts and is bringing prompt returns. The Edgebrook plant is sending stock to Buckingham place at the rate of five or six wagon-loads a day. J. Bombenger will expend about $5,000 this summer in modernizing his place at Woodlawn avenue and Sixty- fourth street, A range of new houses to cost $4,000 will be built on the Wood- lawn avenue side.

Mr. Bom- benger's business has grown rapidly of late and he thinks all he needs to bring in a lot more trade is to provide up-to- date facilities. C. W. Marks, patron of floriculture and friend of florists, who died some months ago, left an estate of $1,283,- 109, according to a schedule filed in the probate court May 28. Adam Heim, of Connersville, Ind., was at Morton Grove last week, with his machine, putting the self-tying twist on 54,000 rose stakes at Plant B of Poehlmann Bros. Co. Mr. Heim has work in this vicinity to keep him busy several weeks. Geraniums in bloom are scarce, but there are plenty not yet in flower. NEW YORK. The Market. Memorial day was cloudy and humid, the first real summer temperature of the year, and a day long to be remem- berexl in eastern floriculture, because of the enormous quantity of blooming plants and cut flowers disposed of. Prices were not abnormal and, in fact, most reasonable compared with many other cities. Boston wholesalers bought in advance over 100,000 carnations in this market and realized a handsome profit on their venture. One house had a buyer here for nearly a week and in addition large quantities of cut flowers were shipped direct to the other wholesale houses of the Hub, where Decoration day is the big day of all the year, far in advance of either Christmas or Easter. Thomas F. Galvin showed me 600 wreaths pre- pared in anticipation of the demand, and few of the Boston retail stores were closed at all on Friday night. Beauties sold as high as 30 cents May 28 and the best of the other VaVERY now and then a weU- U9 pleased reader speaks the word which is the means of bringing a new advertiser to t\lf^ Such friendly assistance is thoroughly appreciated.

FLORISTS* PUBLISHING CO. 530-60 Cazton Bldg. Chicago roses brought 6 cents, but all of these were selected. Carnations did not go above 4 cents and most of the best stock sold at 3 cents. The weather has begun to influence the quality of the roses, especially Killarney. Cape jasmine from the south can be had at low rates. The street men offer good flowers at 5 cents, badly inter- fering with the home-grown and long- stemmed stock, which now is offered at $1 per dozen. Orchids are abun- dant, in all the seasonable varieties, but the demand for weddings prob- ably will hold them at present quota- tions. Some of the finest gigas sell at 75 cents. Lilies have fallen to 4 cents again. Valley has to compete against enormous quantities of the out- door crop, and even the demand for wedding bouquets cannot raise it above $2.50 per hundred. The best of the sweet peas are in constant request, but there is no use sending any but the finest to the New York market. Pe- onies are now at their best and the fine varieties yield $8 per hundred easily. There is a tremendous amount of common stuff, however, that never should be grown at all. The south has flooded us with it. Gladioli are abundant and the best still command $1 per dozen. The market thi.-? week overflows with cut blooms from weige- lias, snowballs, spiraeas and the ram- bler roses. These will all be largely used in wedding decorations. The many weddings will keep the prices of Beau- ties, valley and orchids steady all through the month. One retail house has five big weddings booked for June 9 and 10. This may be taken as a sample of the splendid outlook for the retailers during the month. Various Notes. The greenhouses near all the ceme- teries are depleted.

Tuesday, .fune 28, the club's annual outing at Wetzel 's Grove, College Point, will take place. The method of the Denver clergy- man in New York, in giving a flower to everyone attending the church serv- ices, has had wide publicity, and sev- eral other New York churches announce a similar distribution. It beats Fa- thers' day, or any special day, for it can be made a continuous performance. Kessler Bros, had one lone geranium plant left unsold in their big store Saturday night, a straw which shows how the Memorial day wind was blow- ing. This firm has purchased five acres of land at Secaucus, N. J., near Emil Savoy's, on which they will erect greenhouses. For the month of June they have secured a store on Sixth avenue near Twenty-eighth street, prior to locating permanently in the new wholesale district on West Twenty- eighth street. It is A. Warendorff, of Broadway and Twenty-eighth street, who is re- cuperating this summer, and not Her- man, of the Ansonia, as I said last week. Decoration day weeK kept many wholesalers away from the Boston or- chid exhibition, who had counted ou going, J. K. Allen among them. F. II. Traendly and James McManus re- mained only for a day. Wadley & Sraythe are planting ave- nues of large shade trees in the grounds of the public library on Fifth avenue and Forty-second street. This firm has done an enormous nursery business this spring. Their nursery at Yonkers is filled with choice importations pur- chased by Mr. Smythe on his last visit to Europe. They have made large plantings at John D. Eockef eller 's es- tate this year. Last week they had the wedding decoration for E. H. Harri- man's daughter. The Madison Square Garden Eeal Estate Show last weeK gave oppor- tunity for enterprise to Hitchings & Co., who exhibited a portable green- house, valued at $250, and the Forster Mansfield Co., which displayed rustic work, bamboo conceptions, plant tubs, pergolas, window boxes and other flo- rists' requisites. Among the prominent members of the New York and New Jersey Plant Growers' Association, who sail for Eu- rope in June, are John Miesem, of Elmhurst, N. Y., and Herman Stein- hoflf, of West Hoboken, N.

Gunther Bros, are enthusiasts, not only in cut flowers^ but in legitimate sport, no day passing during the sum- mer that does not find one of the trio rooting for the New York Americans. Charles Millang says the demand for lilies for Memorial day was double any record he has made since he made this flower a specialty. Ten of the New York visitors to the orchid show at Boston journeyed by the Commonwealth steamer Thursday evening: Mr. and Mrs. Herman Schol- zel, of New Durham, N.

Compara- tively few outdoor plants are in bloom, with the result that most of the flow- ers used in decorating the resting places of the veterans came from the florists. The children of the Kochester public schools donated 7,500 potted plants and the pupils of the parochial schools furnished over 2,500; most of these came from local growers, and combined with the demand from the 6. A. R. and from individuals, the trade was fully as good as in past years. The supply of plants was just about equal to the demand — no shortages reported, nor was there any noticeable surplus. The sale of bedding plants — coleus, geraniums, asters, etc. — has been rush- ing and there seems a tendency toward advanced prices. The extremely low rates noted a week or two ago have about disappeared, and instead of 5 cents a d'ozen for good aster plants, one must now pay from 10 cents to 15 cents. Geraniums quoted at 50 cents a dozen have gone up to 85 cents, and extra choice stock from 4-inch pots brings close to $1.50. Various Notes. Supt.

Memorial day brought a most satis- factory business in cut flowers and plants. The weather conditions were favorable, the supph' enormous, much of it good quality, and the demand was large. The general opinion is that the volume of business exceeded that of any previous year. Prices were lower, but the satisfaction to the retailers and to the general public was much greater than usual. Roses, carnations and peonies formed the bulk of the supply. The buying was limited to these flow- ers, comparatively few of other kinds being used. Fowering shrubbery, often so important a factor for Memorial day, was neglected this year, possibly be- cause everybody had his own. The crop of peonies was timed to a day, good judges estimating that fully seventy-five per cent of the local crop was ready. The ruling price for good peonies was $40 per thousand, selected stock, and smaller quantities going from this price up to $10 per hundred for fancy whites. Something like two- thirds of the flowers were white, while nearly one-third was distributed through the various shades of pink; only five per cent were red. White sold well, probably better than colors, when the quantity is considered. Carnations, unlike peonies, were wanted in colors, a large proportion of poor white being left over. Owing probably to the immense crop of peonies, the price on carnations was lower than last season. The ruling price was $40 per thousand for the best. A few fancy lots brought $50 ; select stock from $25 to $30. Roses were also more popular in colors than in white, the buyers of white roses being able to get better value in consequence, and here, too, a lot of poor stock was left over. Beauties were firm in price and in good demand, but stock was limited. The other roses were most favored in the medium grades, buyers ordering in lots of from 200 to 500 in "your selection," getting thereby good value and indicating a desire for stock that could be used in mixed bsncTies. There were, however, many fine orders, especially from the south, for choice lots of roses in named varieties. Of the other flowers, it may be briefly said that the demand for valley and for sweet peas was traceable to weddings and commencements, while orchids were in slight favor. Cornflow- ers were popular, but Easter lilies suf- fered badly from the lavish supply of white peonies. Summing up, the excellence of the Memorial day business is due largely to the fact that the small producers — the retail growers, so to speak — had a good supply of good stock that en- couraged business. The shipping de- mand was excellent. The call from the suburban and cemetery florists was also good. The demand from the center of the city was only moderate. The last day of May and first day of June have brought great floral activ- ity. The Devon horse show, the school and college commencements and the first weddings caused the social wheel to revolve with extraordinary rapidity. Everything good in flowers is wanted. Beauties, Killarney, catileyas, sweet peas and valley are all prime favorites where there is quality. The Spring of Nineteen-Ten. The three spring months, from March 1 to May 31, have been eventful in the business history of flowers. It is ad- mitted that the love of plants and flow- ers is growing. While the spring has been one of the most eventful in the history of our business, it has been by no means an unmixed success. March opened badly. The trolleymen's strike and unsettled business conditions proved disastrous. Prices were low and irregular, with no life in the demand. Easter brought an improvement. The ideal weather for a whole week before that day stimulated business as it has rarely been encouraged. The supply was in every way worthy of this great JUNE 2, 1910.

The early -warm weather, followed by 'he long weeks of cooler days and "'ghts, brought out and then dis- <^ributed heavy buying in seeds and plants, both vegetable and flower, to an oxtent that has given the seedsmen a splendid season. The cool nights in May have made it possible to keep up the quality of cut flowers to a much higher standard than usual, better prices being obtained for choice stock. The early Easter, which made it hard to get plants in bloom by March 27, made it easy to flower the next crop by May 30. A full crop of peonies came in for Memorial day. Beports from Memorial day are not all in, but enough is known to lead to the belief that it was generally good. The spring business may be chron- icled briefly as a bad beginning and a good ending. The BaU CUp. There is a modest looking little fas- tener intended to supersede strings, pins and catches of various kinds in fastening the paper on a parcel of flow- ers, or a small plant, or a bundle of letters. It is a small device, simply constructed, with a grip that suggests a bull pup, for it cannot let go. The superiority of mind over matter is clearly shown in this instance, as in many others, for it will let go if you wish, but of its own accord, never. Paul Berkowitz says smilingly that there are millions in it, supporting the assertion with the statement that each one of their thousands of customers would use a thousand, etc. When it was sug- gested that the profit on an article so minute must be proportionately -small, Mr. Berkowitz gravely said that it is the little things that count, because when good their use is general; citing the old saw about the pence and pounds in support thereof.

Memorial day trade, about which much guessing had been done for some weeks, was on the whole satisfactory. Any fears that there would be a scar- city of flowers proved utterly ground- less. There was a good supply of prac- tically everything and, as usual, large quantities of pickled stock were either cleared out at low rates or left un- sold. Compared with 1907, for in- stance, there was not so good a clean- ing-up, but this year far more flowers, both indoor and outdoor, were avail- able. Eed roses sold extra well and were insufficient for demands. The same did not hold true of pink and white varie- ties. Of these an enormous number were, available and prices were quite low, many having to be cleared at $1 and $2 per hundred. Good stock, of course, made much better prices, but on roses there is usually little advance at Memorial day. Carnations were the most aggressive flowers on the market. Fancy red, crimson and deep pink brought $5 and $6 pfer hundred, a few as high as, $§, while the bulk of good powers, eveti whites, tnad'fe $3 and $4.

Of lily of the valley some good outdooi stock was available, in addition to the forced article. Of cut shrubs, such as Spiraea Van Houttei and viburnums, there was an abundance, with slow sales. Asparagus Sprengeri sold well as did plumosus. Of cattleyas an( other orchids there was a good supply, but these are beyond the reach of th<' bulk of Memorial day purchasers. Briefly summed up, it can be said that shippers of good stock received satis factory prices. Senders of held-over flowers, as usual, received poor returns.

The newly formed gladiolus society got a good send-off May 27 and the increasing interest in this flower should draw many adherents to its ranks. Like the peony society, it will have plenty of work ahead in straightening out the nomenclature. At the recent orchid show John Lewis Childs had a nice stand of gladioli.

The Memorial day business was quite gratifying to the wholesalers and re- tailers. Lots of stock of every de- scription was sold and, had it been forthcoming, more might have been disposed of, especially in the cheaper grade of flowers. In the first few days of last week business was slow. From some consignors who had been sending in good stock all along, little or noth- ing was received for Decoration day. Eoses continue in large supply and find a good request. There were enough carnations to meet the regular demands upon the market. The same is true of sweet peas. More peonies could have been sold, had they been on hand; the lighter varieties were generally of ex- cellent quality. Ten weeks' stocks and iris found ready sales. Longiflorums and lily of the valley were also of- fered. The whole line of decorative greens, even boxwood, sold well. The ferns, smilax and plumosus were of good quality. Last Thursday, Friday and Saturday the wholesalers were kept busy getting out shipping orders. The request in these orders was mostly for greens, pe- onies and carnations. The florists in the flower market en- joyed a profitable day on Saturday. All the cut flowers except longiflorum lilies, and most of the bedding stock, sold readily. Various Notes. William Murphy says the Memorial day business was the best he ever had. He received heavy cuts of carnations from Alfred and Ed Murphy, sweet peas fropi Charles Murphy and double ten weeks' stocks from C. C. Murphy, who had a 150-foot house of these last in full bloom. Mr. Murphy also has large orders on carnations booked for St. Louis. C. E. Critchell, for the first time in years, was out of ferns the other day. He had to wait a few hours, until his next shipment came from the woods, to fill r.iid ship his orders. He had a good WILLIAM J.

OuTERBRiDGE, lily grower in Bermu- da, is visiting the trade in eastern cities. There should be no trouble over let- tuce next season, unless, indeed, there is too much. A SUMMARY of the rules of procedure of the newly-established customs court will be found on page 55 of this issue. The Eeichardt & Schulte Co., Houston, Tex., says that taking inventory July 1 will be the simplest matter in years — never a closer clean-up than this season. Pansy seed sold splendidly last season, and those who bought it have had just as good a demand for the plants, so the prospects are that seed will again sell unusually well. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has issued Bulletin No. 392, "Irrigation of Sugar Beets," which will be of in- terest to the seedsmen who find sugar beet seed an important item. E. SuHR, Copenhagen, Denmark, is visiting the seed trade as far west as Chicago. For some fifteen years he has grown cabbage and cauliflower seeds for the Danish exporters, and is now begin- ning to export for his own account. This is his first trip to America. PEAS IN WISCONSIN. At Green Bay, Wis., May 28, E. L. Olmsted, superintendent for the Clark Co., said: "Regarding the present condition of the pea crop, will say that peas in this section are in good condition and are making satisfactory growth. The dam- age from the cold spell and storms in April was not as great as we feared it would be, only a small portion of the total acreage showing a thinner stand as the result, so far as we have seen or heard. We have had only a few really warm days since the storm; con- sequently the peas are no farther ad- vanced, on the average, than is usual at this time, in spite of the early spring. There is sufficient moisture and this, with the cool weather, makes favorable conditions for a very good vine growth." LEONARD SEED CO.

Pyle, of the Sheap-Johnson Seed Co., said: "The condition of peas throughout this section up to one week ago was favorable for a fair crop, the bad weather just after planting time not having done as much damage as had been estimated. For the last week, how- ever, we have been passing through a period of cold and rainy weather, while today the thermometer is hovering around 34 degrees and the danger now of a heavy freeze is giving much con- cern. It is impossible, therefore, at this date to determine just what these conditions will develop, and we prefer to wait before venturing any predic- tions." THANKFUL IT ISN'T WORSE. That it is a duty to wear a smiling countenance under present conditions, and be thankful they are no worse, is the opinion of Arthur B. Clark, presi- dent of the Everett B. Clark Seed Co. He finds the weather not altogether to the liking of the seed crops, but will be satisfied with immunity from anything less favorable. Writing from Milford, Conn., May 25, Mr. Clark said: "The superintendent of our Michigan branch has just reported that through his territory there was a period of weather unfavorable to the crop of peas, along about May 15, with freezing weather at night and cold winds during the day. Peas, however, are better able to withstand such conditions than drought and heat in the later stages of S. M. ISBELL S CO. JACKSON. MICH. Contract Seed Growers BEAN, CUCUMBER.

"However, although Mr. Olmsted had anticipated some injury to our crops in his territory outside of the Door cou'nty section, he has been able to report to us now that he believes the damage to have been small — much less, indeed, than one would have supposed. In fact, he has been able to learn of hardly more than two or three crops, one of the Ever- bearing and one of Ameers, that have been seriously injured by the April storm, and he gives us a most encour- aging report as to present conditions, the weather, since the storm, having been as favorable as one could ask, pro- viding frequent rains, with moderately cool weather. "As to conditions here in Connecti- cut, we consider that thus far they have been favorable. The acreage of our principal crops is about an average acreage, and the biennial seed crops have obtained a nice start and, for this time of the season, promise well. Sweet corn planting is completed. The seed planted is of fair average strength and, with the conditions that we are getting, we think it should germinate satisfac- torily. Warmer nights would be more favorable to this crop, but in view of the conditions that we have undergone for years past, we feel that it is our duty to bear a smiling countenance in view of present conditions and to hope for immunity from anything worse. A good crop is due us and, in our opinion, a good average crop will be the best thing for the seed trade in general, as we have had a succession of years of shortage quite suflScient for the good of the business." THE SEED SEASON. Weather the Principal Factor. Taking it by and large, the seed selling season for 1910 has been a satisfactory one. The volume of busi- ness has been large, both for mail order and counter trade, though it did not with everyone equal the best previous records. The summing up shows that weather conditions were a more impor- tant factor than stock shortages.

The warm weather in March caused an unusual influx of orders early in the season, with a cor- responding dearth of orders in April, when cold weather again set in. The demand for both farm and garden seeds during May has been unusually active, and there never was a time when stocks were so thoroughly cleaned up with UB. S. M. Isbell & Co., Jackson, Mich. With us the catalogue trade of 1910 will hardly equal 1909 in volume of business. January and February were very cold, and we had no weather to induce seed buying. March came with unprecedentedly warm weather, which was so general all over the country that we had an influx of orders from every quarter. In April we had our March weather, so that from a seeds- man's point of view conditions have been rather unusual, and therefore unfavorable to a large trade. Then, too, the prices of several standard items were unusually high. Had it not been for the unusual weather and high prices, we believe this would have been a banner year. A. 0. Eendel, Cleveland, O. It is early to say ' what our total spring business will amount to, as our season continues well past the middle of June. Our March showed double last year's trade, but April fell off one-third. The first half of May was much below normal, although we liave had unusual tra^e in perennials, but since May 15 we have had warm weather, plenty of rain and the accom- panying rush. The outlook for trade ii tender vegetable and bedding plants is highly promising. Livingston Seed Co., Colambus, O. We believe the present season's busi- ness with us has shown a slight gain on previous years. This is probably due, however, to our somewhat increased advertising appropriation, and we do not believe that, in the main, the season has been any more favorable in the seed trade than that of 1909.

Titus says Memorial day trade was excellent; •verything in cut flowers cleaned up and more might have been sold. Glouster, O. — D. A. Steadman re- ports Memorial day business the best ever recorded in this vicinity. It was a general clean-up. Lincoln, Neb. — C. H. Frey says that trade simply is immense, both in plants and cut flowers, with profitable prices. Stock is of good quality for this season of the year. Phoenix, R. I.— George Whitf ord says that about the best thing he had for Memorial day was galax wreaths with clusters of Killarney or White Killar- ney roses. The roses were fine and the wreaths sold splendidly. Calumet, Mich. — In the copper coun- try and along the south shore of Lake Superior, where the florists' business is increasing rapidly, the trade had to contend with a blizzard on Memorial day, so severe that train schedules were demoralized. De Kalb, HI.— J. L. .Johnson, of the De Kalb greenhouses, says Decoration day business was immense and every available flower was sold at 10 a. m. Plant trade also was excellent, though there has not been much bedding done here yet. He thinks there will be a shortage of geraniums in this vicinity. MULCHING OUTDOOR PEAS. A customer would like to know if it would assist the blooming period of •utdoor sweet peas to top-dress the soil after the plants are six or eight inches high. If so, what kind of a top-dressing do you recommend f A mulch of meadow hay, straw, grass or littery manure spread between the rows of sweet peas as a mulch is of great benefit. If you can secure it, some rather fresh manure of a strawy nature will answer capitally. Old, spent hotbed manure is equally good. A mulch of this kind serves a double pur- pose in keeping the ground both moist and cool, conditions necessary for the successful flowering of sweet peas. Loosen the soil well before applying the mulch. C. W. Chrysanthemums Fine young stock from 2>^=lnch pots, immediate shipment WHITE Per 100 Vlrslnla Poehlmann. . . .$3.00 C.l0U««t 3.00 Oct.

Business since last report has been good. We are in the midst of the planting season, which, owing to some unfavorable weather, was delayed con- siderably, and those that follow this line largely are kept on the jump con- tinuously and are taking advantage of every good day. With a few more good days, this work will be wound up nicely, although a good many strag- gling orders will be booked until the latter part of June. Geranium plants at $1.50 per dozen are getting to be the thing with us and a majority of the florists are get- ting that price for them. Although two grades are shown, customers pre- fer the big plants, which are the pick of the lot. The small plants are the $1 grade, and the most of these that are unsold grow into $1.50 stock in a week or two. Three or four years ago the Kentucky Society of Florists held a meeting for the purpose of raising the prices on 4-inch geraniums and other bedding stock, but could not come to any agreement, as a majority thought that would kill the sale of bedding stock. They were badly fooled, however, and those who are still sell- ing them at $1 are just 50 cents out, and are beginning to realize that it is not such a hard matter to get a little more for your stock if you grow it a little better. Window boxes are getting quite pop- ular and a few more have been filled this year than formerly. Cut flowers for all occasions have had a good, steady call, and all stock is in good shape. Carnations are hold- ing up well and some good stock is being cut, considering the season. Some fine roses are to be had and in good quantities. Peonies are on the move. A few outdoor peas are coming in, but the bulk are indoor grown and are satisfactory in both quality and quan- tity. Other cut flowers are in good shape. Green goods are again in fair supply. VariOQs Notes. The wholesale grocers' convention, which took place last week, was about the finest thing in the way of a con- vention that has hit this city for a long while, from the florists' stand- point. Jacob Schulz furnished 350 Eich- raond roses and 250 Beauties for the grocerymen. A. Easmussen continues to cut some good Killarneys, Brides and other roses. Geo. E. Schulz will build a handsome residence in Kenilworth place this sum- mier. Work will be started in a few days. Mrs. C. B. Thompson has had several pretty window displays. K. B.

The first half was rainy and cold, which prevented people from planting. Then the rush came, in the last three days, and an effort was made to supply all demands for plants, but this* was impossible. Anything in bloom was what was wanted and such stock was not plentiful, but there were thou- sands of plants sold with only a speck of bloom. Saturday night found all plantsmen about worn out, but as it looks as if there might be better weather, they will likely finish such work this week. Among the cut flower men business was satisfactory. Early in the week much of the stock was nat good, but m the latter part of the week there were immense quantities of everything. There were elegant roses and the ear- nations were abundant and good. Peonies were in better shape than usual and lilies were never finer. Everything was cleaned up, but at rea- sonable prices. People would buy if they could get good stock at a reason- able price, but passed up anything for which a fancy price was asked. Yet, taken all in all, it was a most satisfac- tory Decoration day from the whole- salers' standpoint. The retailers, of course, were more than busy, with plants and cut flowers together, and all admit that it was a good Decoration day. They found their customers wanted cheap flowers, but the volume of sales was satisfactory. The immense quantities of outside flowers, aside from keeping the prices down, did not interfere with green- house stock, as everything was sold. Various Notes. Charles Koenig was there with the lilies for Decoration day, and the Pitts- burg Cut Flower Co., which handles his stock, was able to take care of all de- mands along this line. P. S. Randolph has purchased a Buick touring car. Fred Burki has turned his horses out to pasture and bought a fine, big tour- ing car, from which he expects to de- rive much pleasure this summer.

[Continued from page 62.] Mr. and Mrs. Fred Burki and John Bader, who have been at Mount Clem- ens for several weeks, surprised their friends by stepping into their midst on Saturday night. Both Mr. Burki and Mr. Bader were improved in health, but neither had entirely recovered. B. L. Elliott, manager for John Ba- der, reports an exceptionally good sea- son in the plant line, but they still have some good stock to sell. William Falconer, superintendent of Allegheny cemetery, after several years has transformed that old, overgrown cemetery into one of the most beauti- ful in the country. He has spent a quarter of a million dollars in the work during the last three years and people generally only commenced to appreciate it this spring, but each year it will be- come more beautiful and Pittsburgers will not need to be told again about the beautiful eastern cemeteries. And all this has been accomplished under grow- ing conditions that would make the average man throw up his hands in dis- gust. Mrs. E. C. Ludwig, who has been at the Allegheny General Hospital for an operation, is recovering slowly. De Forest Ludwig, who has just re- turned from a trip east, is suffering with a badly poisoned hand and arm. Hoo-Hoo. Florence, Mass. — F. D. Keyes had an extremely heavy Memorial day trade, keeping open shop all day Sunday and until noon Monday, when practically everything was sold. Cleveland, O. — Frank M. Smith, pres- ident of Smith & Fetters Co., says that the Memorial day trade was the largest ever recorded, partly because of the scarcity of outdoor flowers. Most lines of stock were short, but carnations es- pecially so. Aurora, 111.— The Richards Mfg. Co. is about to place on the market a light, portable soil conveyor, designed for use in removing and replacing soil in green- house benches and which it is thought will prove valuable for such purposes as carrying plants in and out of the houses. Fort Wayne, Ind. — What is called the "florist train" of the Pennsylvania lines arrived here May 23, on its long, slow tr^p between Pittsburg an4 Chi- cago. The train carries "a load of plants and vines, with a force of about thirty men, and stops at the various stations on its route for the purpose of beautifying the grounds.

I have no water force and have to de pend only on fumigation with tobacco, which I use in liquid and powder forms, but I cannot keep them away and I cannot use hydrocyanic acid gas. as 1 have only a wall between my residencf and the greenhouse. If anybody can help me out in this case, I shall Im' thankful. P. J. K. It is unfortunate that you have in' force of water. This is absolutely necessary to keep spider in check un der glass. It revels in dry, arid con ditions and there is no better way tn prevent its appearance, or prevent its spread if it has appeared, than watii through the spraj' nozzle at the end of a hose. Fumigation with tobacco of any kind is a partial remedy; ev<'ii hydrocyanic acid gas cannot always he relied upon. I would advise you to se- cure a small force pump, seeing th it you have no pressure from the hose, and by using this you should ke«'P spider in check. Use a teaspoonful i'f salt to every three gallons of water it each application and direct the wat^^r below the leaves, which is where the red spiders are to be found. C. W.

LOUIS. The Market. The bright, warm weather last weelc greatly increased the production, but not the trade. Low prices prevailed until Saturday, when they took a jump that was disconcerting. Carnations had been selling as low as $1.50 per hun- dred for good stock; the price went up for three days to $3 for common atock and $5 and $6 for fancies. Some re- tailers did not anticipate such a raise and had to fill orders for what stock cost them on Decoration day. Roses, too, had been in oversupply, but advanced in price. All outdoor stock was extremely scarce. Peonies advanced and even cape jasmine went up to double what could be obtained flish-firade Boilers g:^<^.ForGREENHOllSES STEAM and HOT WATER GIBLIN&CO..

As Decoration day does not amount to a great deal locally, the re- tailers had trouble to understand the high prices resulting from a strong de- mand from out of town. A great many cut flower sales which would have been made but for the high prices, went to 78 The Weekly Florists' Review* .Junk 2, 1910. the plant trade and the cut flower re- tailer was left to hold the bag. The retailers . say that now that the special demand is over stock will be selling at such ridiculously low prices that the public will wonder and say they were robbed because it was Decoration day. Various Notes. The St. Louis Ketail Florists' Asso- ciation will hold an important meet- ing Monday, June 6, in the Knights of Columbus hall, Olive and Grand avenue. Kobert Ayers, formerly well known in florists' circles, will leave this month with his family for California and will take up his residence in Los Angeles. Ed Kalisch, of Kalisch Bros., says that just as soon as the busy season ends he and Mrs. • Kalisch will take their usual summer trip among the northern lakes. Mr. Kalisch is a great fisherman. The four wholesale houses will again take up the early closing this year dur- ing the months of July and August. The closing hours will be 5 p. m. each day and 12 o'clock on Saturdays. This will delight the employees. Trustees Bentzen, Ostertag and Schoenle, of the Florists' Club, say the florists' picnic will this year surpass any of the club's previous efforts. They will personally see that all the florists are invited and that they all have a good time. Charlie Wors says that he has the concession for the sale of flowers at Suburban park and will hereafter be at the park each evening, rain or shine. The evenings so far have been too cool and the attendance has been small. June 5 will be the first open Sunday of the year at the Missouri Botanical Garden. Superintendent H. C. Irish has a big force at work getting things in shape for the large crowd expected, should the weather be fine. The four wholesalers, C. A. Kuehn, the Smith Wholesale Floral Co., H. G. Berning and George H. Angermueller, had their hands full for Decoration day, supplying the local and shipping trade with cut stock. William Ossick, of the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co., with his brother- in-law, E. Windt, has opened a picture show at Wellston and Easton avenues, to which they give their time each evening, and the local trade has given them much patronage. This is the season for school com- mencements and June weddings. The trade expects to put in some busy days for the next two weeks, when the sea- son for social work ends and society begins to leave for summer vacations. Ostertag Bros, furnished the decora- tions for the Puletizer-Wickham wed- ding, the largest society event of the year. The reception took place on a ' lawn at the bride's residence and they left the arrangements to Ostertag Bros., at a cost of $1,500. The Kelley Floral Co. is furnishing the Big Four railroad with ten bou- quets each morning, for the dining car which leaves here at 8 a. m. The St. Louis Florists' Club will hold its twenty-third anniversary meeting Thursday afternoon, June 9. The sec- retary is sending out neat notices to the members, urging them to attend. The trustees Ijave arranged for a smoker and the prospects are good for a large attendance.

CAENATIONS. [t'outiiuK'd from page 11.] Now, keeping those varieties that have been mentioned in view, let us be careful in selecting our cuttings from those plants that are vigorous in health and have a good, sound heart and lungs. It is wise to see that there is no delay from the time you take your cuttings and in- sert them in the propagating bed, where you should keep a bottom heat of 65 de- grees and a top heat of 55 degrees, giv- ing them an abundance of water. It will be necessary to shade your bed from strong sun, giving the young stock a chance to profit by shade and moisture. The chances are, if you are careful at this stage, that you will be gladdened by a success of 100 per cent. Potting and Outdoor Planting. We cannot value too highly the advice to do everything at the proper time. In the care of the young rooted cuttings, just as soon as you see nice, bushy roots, remove them from the bed and put them in 2-inch pots, allowing the plants to be established before starting the harden- ing system. Then, from this time on, the hardier you keep your plants and the more fresh air they get, the healthier and stronger will they be. The more care and attention they get, the better a foundation will you be laying for future success. As soon as the weather is favorable and your garden soil in good order, a lib- eral application of lime would certainly be of great benefit. Set your young stock out, giving the plants plenty of space, say ten inches between the plants and eighteen inches between the rows. But remember that you want your soil to grow carnations and not weeds. During the months of May and June, give your plants your never-failing attention, in the way of stopping leading shoots and get- ting your stock in order for housing in July or August. Removing to the House. This period in the progress of carna- tions is a critical one and requires spe- cial attention.

To niv mind, it is just liko treating a baby, from its infancy on- ward. What %ye have to study is tho stomach and lungs. Whatever you feed with, study not to give more than they can receive. Begin with a weak applica- tion, say once in two weeks, and gradu- ally increase in strength and frequency. What to use, I will practically leave to yourselves, seeing we have on the market a great variety of good fertilizers. I am inclined to favor Bon Arbor, and I have had good success with this manure, with a change to liquid cow manure, and every five or six weeks an application of lime and $oot, siiy :i 6-incli (loi of each to fiity gallons of Avater. We must try to avoid a great rush of sap into the plant, as it causes a softness in growth that is unde- sirable and renders your plants liable to the attacks of various pests. Ventilation has to be regulatetl accord- ing to the weather, and I would advise that the raising and closing be done in a gradual way, so that you can have a night temperature of 4') to ">() degrees, witli a rise of 10 to l."( degrees (hiring the day. Diseases and Pests. The diseases we have to contend with are principally rust and stem-rot. If there is any appearance of rust, it is well to keep the foliage dry, remove all parts that seem to be infected and give a lib- •eral application of Grape Dust. Stem- rot .3 a disease we have t6 keep our eyes open for at all times, especially for two months after the plants have been taken from the field and planted in the benches, after which time there is no danger, if they have not been planted too deep. Re- move at once any plants that are infected, and apply a dusting of air-slaked lime. Among the worst pests are thrips and red spider. For thrips, spray about once a week with Nicoticide during the time of hot weather ; when the cool nights arrive, fumigate with Nico-fume or tobacco dust. Bed spider seems to love a dry atmos- phere and the general way to keep the pest under control is to apply the hose, and, if very bad, spray with salt and water — say one pound of salt to five gal- lons of water.

Indeed, the volume of business was only limited by the supply. These unusual conditions were dne to the cool, cloudy weather, with several heavy wind storms which played havoc with outside stock, especially pe- onies. Friday and Saturday found heavy demands for cheap grades of all kinds of cut stock. The weather was exceedingly warm, with the thermome- ter registering around 80 degrees. Carnations were in heavy supply and brought from 1 to 2 cents each. Their average quality was only fair. All col- ors were wanted; even those who usu- ally have their own carnations were buyers. Peonies were to be seen on every stand, but were in bad shape, being too ripe and badly bruised by the wind. Anything resembling roses or carnations, tied up in bunches, sold well. There were plenty of callas and longiflorums, which sold remarkably well. Sprengeri, plumosus, sniilax and ferns were in demand. Pot plants were eagerly sought after and the supply was small. In this class of stock, geraniums, hydrangeas and rose bushes in bloom took the lead. For several years there has been an increasing custom of purchasing potted plants in bloom for Memorial day pur- poses. The fact that Memorial day this year came on Monday greatly ac- celerated this demand and the supply of bedding plants of all kinds was al- most exhausted. In years past, small potted geraniums, heliotropes, verbenas, petunias and similar selections have suflSced to meet the popular cry; this year there has been a constant call and ready sale for potted plants, such as hydrangeas, roses and rhododendrons of the better class. The month of May M'as a highly sat- isfactory month for business. The sales of plants ran far ahead of last year, and the same held true with cut flow- ers. Crops were good and stock held out well. There was an oversupply of rain, plenty of high winds and enough sunshine. The heavj' rain May 24, with one of the worst wind storms^ did great damage to fruit and shade trees. The market gardeners who had crops plant- ed in low places were hard hit; other- wise mark<>t products look promising. Various Notes. Albert G. Fiedler and Ernst W.

''yr»>''yr»>'-yr»)''yf»)''yf»)'fec»N'fer»!)'fer»i'^f»!)'fef»), THE WEDDING BOUQUETS. They Mean More Than Money. June is the wedding month. While it brings the retail florist one of the busiest and most profitable periods of the year, it also makes its greatest tax upon his artistic abilities. There is no work of the retail florist subject to such sharp criticism as the bouquets he makes for his weddings, and the deco- rations for these occasions. Whatever else may be forgiven, the bride will not overlook shortcomings in her wedding flowers. The larger the wedding, the more critical the inspection the florist's work must undergo. Slovenly work at such a time will defeat all hope of developing a high-class trade; but, on the other hand, really good work for the weddings will prove one of the easiest of stepping stones to high-class patronage — there is no surer means for establishing a reputation for first-class work. Some Good Examples. In this issue of The Eeview there are a number of illustrations of wedding bouquets. These are all the work of R. Irving Gresham, of the C. A. Dahl Co., Atlanta, Ga. Two of the bouquets are made by combining orchids with lily of the valley. In one case highly- colored cattleyas are used with lily of the valley about them and knotted in the shower. The bouquet is edged with Farleyense. This bouquet sometimes is carried by the maid of honor, while the bride carries the combination of white orchids and valley shown in the other illustration. Another of the illustrations s^hows the conventional type of bouquet, Jiade entirely of lily of the valley, with a shower. As in the orchid bouquet, t'le edging is with Farleyense fern. One of the illustrations shows a bridesmaid's bouquet that Mr. Gresham c 'lis his rainbow bouquet and which is p ipular for the so-called rainbow wed- (ing. The one illustrated was made ^' ith a center of violets, bordered with ) 'y of the valley, but the bouquet also i" effectively made with the center f ther of yellow, pink or red rosebuds. li also may be made with sweet peas i: stead of valley. Still another of the illustrations '^ ows a bride's bouquet made of white ' ses, a little Sprengeri and Farleyense ' rn, tied with a heavy, wide, white rib- bon. This style of bouquet also is < equently used for bridesmaids, pink, .''ollow or occasionally red roses being 'Substituted for the white. Carnation bouquets are made up and used exactly •'9 in the case of the rose bouquet, the special considerations for each wedding determining the number of flowers to be wsed and the size of the bouquet. These are examples of the better class •^f wedding bouquets and are deserving •^f careful study at the hands of any- one who wishes to improve his wedding work. So good were these bouquets considered that some of them recently were illustrated in the Ladies' Home Journal, where they came conspicuously to the attention of a good many girls who will be brides this month. ART IN MASSIVE DESIGNING. Some Necessary Definitions. In order to be exact and understand each other, let us define the words in our title. Before taking some other authority for a definition (let that au- thority be the highest ever), one's own definition often crystallizes the thought and helps to grasp the authoritative definition, and so, before consulting Webster, we might formulate a simple definition of our own, something like this: Art is the creation or execution of a mental conception.

In music, what is the higher order of pro- duction— that which imitates some fa- ftiiliar sound, or that which renders an idea? Or, in other words, which ap- peals to your higher sensibility — arti- ficial thunder and wind, or the expres- sion of pity or love? In painting, who is the better artist — the one who can most truthfully present something that has fallen under his eye, or one who can paint an imaginary figure whose beauty anti grace have been seen by his own mind's eye? Imitation Plus Imagination. Now let us come to the dictionary definition of the word "art." It is as follows: "Art is the application of skill to the production of the beautiful by imitation or design." Comparing these two definitions, first it is taken for granted that there is some skill both as to dreaming and as to creation; so far there is no special difference. The terms "creation" and "production" sound alike. The dic- tionary says "the beautiful." Why is it not true art if unbeautiful subjects are presented? Passing this a^ nonessential, let us explore the meaning of the words "imi- tation" and "design." The term "de- sign" corresponds to the word "ideal" in our home-made definition. Imitation is the one branch of thought which is omitted from our original definition, and we must admit it is quite an im- portant one as applied to our depart- Bridesmaid's Bouquet of White Roses. ment of art. Taken as a whole, ther is no one production of the floral ar which is purely ideal, and' yet it is a much so as any production of an other art. It is a compound of imita tion and ideal. For example, in ;, bride's shower bouquet the round to] is like the tip of a plant in mature de velopment; the shower is like a trailing vine or collection of the same; the sep arate features are imitative; the as semblage is ideal. A pillow is an imi tative design; its decoration may b< either ideal or imitative. Degrees of Ability. It follows, then, that if you invent a new style of the shower bouquet you are an artist of more or less ability, according to the high or low standard of your production, if you can catch the combination of lines which makes the graceful course of a wild, trailing vine and can reproduce it in one spray on a solid design, you are an artist, but not of the highest type. If lyou can bring together the plans of a^-Btnnber of such natural creations into a crea- tion of your own which occasion de mands, you are an artist of the highest type. It is even so in a literary sense; the person who can describe people and scenes in accordance with fact and in an entertaining way is an artist, but the writer who can create and present a character all his own, from his imag- ination, assisted by his observation, is the really great writer. The so-called musician who can make the piano croak like a frog or make a fiddle whine has some musical ingenu ity, but the one who can speak with the violin a better message in a better way than with his lips is a great musician. But another definition is wanting to bring us to a perfect understanding of our subject. It is that of "massive designing." Well, it is solid work^ work where the flowers or plants em ployed lose their individuality for the sake of the effect Which the massing will produce. The production is sup posed to be a striking amount of size or color or both. Solid Work — Oood and Bad. Such solid work may be good or poor designing, according to the scale used in selecting and applying this particu- lar style of design. I have seen solid pillows, solid crescents, harps, gates ajar, triangles, and hearts which were good examples of massive design, but I never saw a solid wreath, or basket, or table plateau which was good de- signing. Why is it? Is it because our aesthetic beings are bounded by six senses, and that some things appeal to neither the five senses nor yet to the sixth sense, which has been so happily called "common sense" — though it is so rare, by the irony of fate — nor yet to our sense of nonsense? Is there anything in tlve fact that the first designs mentioned are all imitative and the latter are purely ideal? Where we get the solid style from may throw some light on this question. Evidently it is derived from massive effects in nature, as illustrated in composite flowers; from inflorescence, as seen in racemes, umbels and panicles; as seen in a grove from a distance, or a field or stretch of land which has grown up thick with one kind of flower, like a daisy patch.

It can be got at iny drug store and 5 or 10 cents' ^orth will make up enough to fill a Sood sized paste jar. To prepare, put the tragacanth in the jar, add enough water to cover, al- 'ow to stand over night and then add sufficient water to bring the paste to the proper consistency. If you wish, you may add a few drops of oil of cloves, which will give it what I term a clean odor. Howard Gardner. THE TRADE'S DISPLAY. C. H.

[An extract from a paper by Arthur E. Tliatcher, of Arnold Arboretum, read before tUe Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club. Continued from the KeTiew of June 2.] Favorite Bulbous Plants. No plants, and certainly none of a bulbous character, have more devoted ad- herents than the lilies, and though many new ones have been introduced during recent years, I do not suppose there are any so deserving of general cultivation as Mr. Wilson's Chinese introductions. As these have been fully described in the press, I need not deal at length with them, but they cannot be too strongly recommended to those who desire good, hardy, vigorous-growing varieties. Hen- ryi, leucanthiemum, Bakerianum and myriophyllum are additions to any flower border and succeed best in a good loamy soil, with ample' drainage. Another beautiful class of bulbs, sec- ond only to the lilies in importance, are montbretias, and these, by hybridizing, have been greatly improved of late. The newer sorts will probably not prove so hardy in New England as the older va- rieties, such as crocosmaeflora and Pottsii, but it is a simple matter to lift them and store in a cool cellar for the winter. Such varieties as Hereward, Prometheus, King Edmund, Norvic, Westwick, Lady Hamilton, St. Botolpli, George \ Davison and Lord Nelson all have flat, open flow'- ers, which measure from three to four inches in diameter and are produced freely on strong, branching stems. I do not know of any plants, unless it is the florists ' pentstemons, which produce such a beautiful display through the summer and autumn months. Monardas and Oriental Poppies. Monarda didyma is an old favorite in gardens, but it must give place now The Rainbow Bouquet. to a new variety with bright scarht flowers, named Cambridge Scarlet, whiclj is dwarfer in habit but much more floril- erous. Oriental poppies are among the mout gorgeous of May flowers, and who docs not admire the gigantic blooms of Papaver Parkmanni? A host of ne^v sorts are now offered to us, embracing a wide range of color, but I think the most desirable are Lady Eoscoe, Marie Studholme, Mephistopheles, Mrs. Perry, Jennie Mawson and Margaret. These should not be planted near the front of the border, as their flowers, though gorgeous, are rather fleeting. A remarkable plant from Central Asia, closely allied to the campanulas, which one seldom sees grown success- fully, is Ostrowskia magnifica, but it well repays any care bestowed upon it. This plant should be given a sheltered position under a warm wall, in a well drained, loamy soil, and on no account should the roots be disturbed after it has once become established. The flow- ers are of great size and vary in color from blue to rose and pure white, and under favorable conditions the stems will grow six feet high. Thalictrum dipterocarpum is the most desirable of the family and is one of Mr. Wilson's Chinese children. It has a profusion of rich rose flowers, on slender stems five feet 'high, and eleaant foliage. Not Hardy, btt Worth Protecting. Tritomas, or kniphofias, are not hardy enough to withstand our New England winters unless amply protected, and I believe the best results are obtained by lifting and potting, unless one has a shel- tered position in which to plant them. Id England they are largely used and make most effective beds in well drained loam. They are so distinct and gor- geous in coloring that any extra trouble is well bestowed on them. A consider- able variety of species and hybrids are now obtainable and I can strongly recom- menii Nelsoni and Macowani, two very dwarf, free flowering plants; Triumph, the largest variety yet raised; multiflora, Meteor, Chloris, Ideal and Corallina. The colors vary from the palest yellow to the richest scarlet, and they present an imposing and beautiful appearance in the fall garden. The Stately Eremuri. A wonderful class of plants, which should be represented in all gardens, are the eremuri, and if single specimens are planted at various intervals along the border, where their stately spikes can rise above the dwarfer subjects, they presenr an imposing appearance, unequaled by anv spring flowering plants. Unlike the other plants I have mentioned, they should be planted early in the fall and the youn^ growths will need slight protection fron. cold winds and frosts in early April. ■ E. Elwesianus, which has pink flowers, anu its pure white variety, albus, will, whet established, grow from eight to nine feet high, with fully, four feet of blossom. E robustus is equally tall, with rosy pink flowers, but E. Bungei does not exceed flve feet and is very attractive, having golden yellow flowers. Salem, Mass.— The Ward estate, at 90 and 92 North street, including the greenhouses recently conducted by Har- vey E. Ward, has been sold at auction for $6,700. Besides the greenhouses, the property comprises about 28,000 square feet of land and a two-famih- dwelling- June 9, 1910.

WENDLAND & KEIMEL PLANT. The accompanying illustration is re- produced from a photograph of the lauge of Wendland & Keimel, Elmhurst, 111. The view is looking southwest. In response to a request for some of the details as to construction, W. J. Keimel supplied the following description: "We have ten houses 27x200, Mon- inger material, fourteen feet south slope, sixteen feet north; twenty-eight ventilators on each side of ridge, oper- ated by three machines in each house, one in the center operating the north ventilators and one at each end for the south. The ventilators are so arranged that those nearest the machines will open two or three inches before the farthest vents will start to open. This allows us to have a little air at any part of the houses where it is needed, and we find it very convenient. Seven- teen of these machines, with arms, etc., were furnished by the Advance Co. and thirteen by Evans. The gutters are cast-iron Jennings, supported by 2-inch galvanized iron pipes. Purlins are angle-iron supported by 1-inch pipe. "iWe houses contain four benches, oach five feet wide, holding 750 plants each. Twenty-seven benches have Kil- larney and thirteen White Killarney, •■"•OjOOO plants in all. Of these 9,000 iiave been grown two years, 6,000 one year, and 15,000 were planted last April, all grafted stock supplied by A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn. The ' ut is sold in the Chicago market by ^'■- C. Amling. ' ' The place is heated by two 80 horse- ! ower horizontal tubular boilers from "- Freeman & Sons Mfg. Co., Eacine, ^Vis. There are thirteen 1%-inch steam I pes in each house, three under each ■nch and one runiung just beneath " leh gutter. The yfeturn water from ' 'ese pipes is- takea care of by three 0. 4 Squires steani traps and sucked '-•v-t of them by k 4x5x8 National ' acuum pump, which pumps it into a ' ceiver, from which it is pumped auto- "latically back into the boilers by a ^%x2%x4 Dean boiler-ffeed pump. The ' xhaust steam from this pump, as well ■|^ the one i;sed for pumping the water '".'^ the greenhouses, after passing ' 'trough a 3-inch oil separator, is led "ito the main steam pi|)e used for heat- '"g, so that the fuel consumed for ''Perating the pumps is almost nothing, '•le pressure carried on the boilers is ighty pounds, which is reduced to [hree to five pounds by a K. & T. regu- lating valve. "Water is supplied by a 5-inch drilled well 102 feet deep, in which the pressure is strong enough to keep the water within seven feet of the sur- face. There also is a reservoir to catch part of the rain water. A Dean 6x4x6 pump is so connected that it can pump out of either or both at once. "The boiler shed is fifty feet wide and forty feet long, at present so ar- ranged that the west wall can be re- moved and the shed lengthened as needed. The boilers and coal bin oc- cupy the west twenty feet of the shed, leaving the east half for pump room. packing shed and ice-box, the latter being 6x20 and ten feet high, and will easily hold 15,000 to 20,000 roses if necessary.

All building was done by William Mailander, of Morton Grove, 111. "I think that about covers every- thing, except that I may add that the stock at present is all in the pink of condition and promises well for the future. ' ' FERNS OBOWN IN FRAMES. Will you kindly let us hear from you as to the best method of growing nephrolepis ferns and other varieties outside, in the latitude of Philadelphia? Would it be best to construct frames and how much shade is required? Couid they be grown under laths or must they be placed under glass? Any in- formation regarding this will be great- ly appreciated by us. T. N. Y. Nephrolepis and other strong-grow- ing ferns may be grown satisfactorily outdoors during the summer, and, as a matter of fact, have been used in Phil- adelphia and some other localities for bedding purposes. But in order to grow good, salable stock, they would better be grown in frames and covered with either lath shades or thin muslin, the shading material being raised above the frame high enough to allow an abundance of air at all times. The pots should be plunged in ashes or spent hops, the latter being an excel- lent material to retain the moisture, and also containing some fertilizing value. *'«% Small ferns, such as are used for table ferneries, may also be grown in the same manner, but it is better to protect them from heavy, beating rains by covering them with sashes. The sashes should be raised above the frame about one foot, to provide ventilation, and also shaded with whitewash or whiting and oil. W. H. T. DISCOLORED AND DEAD FRONDS. Some time ago I made an inquiry about the leaves of Boston ferns, but did not give you enough information on which to base a reply. I now send you, under separate cover, a small kentia palm and some fern fronds. The ferns are in a bed which has been made new and planted three times, but they will not grow; the new fronds soon die back. I have some in pots that are doing the same way and have been in that condition about eighteen months. If you can do so, please give me a remedy. The palms were in good condition when I got them and are placed close to the ferns. A. D. H. The specimens in question proved to be a small plant of Kentia Belmoreana and several fronds, or parts of fronds, of the Boston fern. All of these showed injuries of somewhat similar character, the tips of the kentia leaves turning yel- low and dying back, and the tips of the fern leaflets likewise discoloring and dy- ing back toward the stem, without drop- ping off.

I would try a change of soil, or the use of rain water for watering, or both, for there does not seem to be any dis- ease in the plants, apart from such in- jury as would be likely to result from an excess of alkali. W. M. T. A COMMEBCIAL PROPOSITION. [A paper by Alphonse Perlcat, read before the Florists' Club of Philadelphia, June 7, 1010.] Your committee has me here tonight to talk orchids, much against my own inclinations. In the first place, it is a difficult subject and, in the second place, I hardly know what to say. Of course I have been in orchids all my life, both in the amateur and commercial lines; but the field is so large that it is diffi- cult to choose any phase of it that would be interesting to you. I think ,the best I can do under the circum- stances is to indicate a few of the species and varieties that have so far proved themselves commercially possi- ble. There is no doubt but what the orchid has come rapidly to the front commercially in the last ten years, and^ it may be confidently looked forward to as a constantly increasing factor in the flower markets of America. The Profitable Kinds. The first of the family important commercially is, of course, the cattleya. This species and its many varieties is so showy and of such varied colors, and can be had by successive plantings through so long a season, that it is small wonder that it takes premier posi- tion. The best of them all is, of course, Trianse, because it is not only a lovely flower, but also because it blooms at a season when cut flowers are most in de- mand. Next to that comes labiata, which flowers in the fall, when roses and carnations are scarce and variety is needed to supplement the chrysanthe- mum and other fall flowers. The other members of the same family that are of importance are Schroederae and Mos- sise, as these come in succession and flower at a time when the others can not be had. Gigas and Gaskelliana are, of course, the important ones for sum- mer flowering. Next to the cattleya, the important orchid commercially is the cypripedium. Insigne flowers more freely than any other and is most easily grown. Leea- num and Spicerianum rank next. The cypripedium can be grown and sold for less than other orchids; hence it is one of the most important, although not the showiest. On account of the demand for white orchids in the fall, Dendrobium Formo- sum occupies an important place. The plants go back after two or* three years and it is necessary to renew stock. D. Phalsenopsis is fine for sprays. Oncidiums are of great merit in many ways, the several varieties flowering in succession from September to February. They are much liked for decorations on account of their spray formation and beautiful colors. Some are easily man- aged, some not. Splendidum is one of the best growers. It is a fine flower and likely to be more grown in the future. Varicosum Rogersii is a favorite on ac- count of its fine spray, which is easily adapted to many decorative purposes. The plants run out quickly, however, much the same as D. Formosum. Varieties With Possibilities. These species and varieties mentioned are practically all that are much grown today, but there are a number of others that will be on the market soon, as the demand is constantly extending. Pha- lsenopsis amabilis is one. This can now 1 : be had from the Philippines at reason; - ble price and will be heard from short] . P. Schillerianum is also a good one ar ] its pink is a good contrast to the whii.; of amabilis, flowering about the san: ; time. Vanda ccerulea is a good species ' o grow for cut flowers and can be macj to pay. It is about the only one of iis color (blue) that is worth anything t ) grow. Support the Market. In conclusion, let me add a serious and emphatic caution to all orchid growers. Never sell your flowers too cheaply. . The orchid is au expensive flower to grow; but sometimes there are too many of them at one time. Rather lose a few of these than sell them cheaply. That breaks the market and you lose far more in the long run. The market is not easily mended, once it is broken. Therefore, it is good policy for the grower to be careful not to over crowd with more than the market will absorb. DENDBOBIUMS. As the growths on the nobile section advance a more copious water supply can be given. Do not shade too heavily. Some sun mornings and evenings will do them good. A moist, warm house, with syringing overhead about 3:30 p. m., is what they like, closing the ventilators at the same time. Leave a little chink of air on all night, however. Such den drobiums as thyrsifloruni, Farmerii, chrysotoxum, suavissimum, densiflorum, Dalhousianum and Calceolaria are now flowering. These, while rather showy, are not Itisting. They are of easy culture and do well at the warm end of the cat tleya house. After flowering, any pot ting or top-dressing can be done. I 'yf^'<^^7?.'♦=^.'^'<^.'<^.'fe.-»i' ' SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS W^.<»^.<»^.<»^.'»^.' I Asters. A last sowing of asters can now be made. Select for this sowing some va- rieties which bloom the earliest from seed. It is too late to sow such sorts as American Branching, Vick's Branch- ing, or even Semple's, but Mignon, Vic- toria, Queen of the Earlies and Chrys- anthemum will flower before we get frost. Cutworms are now troublesome on land which was in grass a year ago. Keep poisoned mash laid around. Fresh bran, moistened with molasses and water and colored with Paris green, an- swers well. A dusting of lime or soot, or both, discourages the pests from working and makes them seek fresh camping grounds. Constant cultivation is aiso-Nof the greatest aid in minimiz- ing thejlosses from their attacks. Cycas Revoluta. The dried stems of Cycas revoluta are now to hand. It is only a few florists who now have much call for these plants. On lawns in partial shade, when of considerable size, they are quite ef-. fective, and there are few better last ing foliage plants for big vases in larg' hallways or hotels, theaters and, ii fact, any building where a minimuu of 50 degrees is maintained.

I have a house full of them and they are badly mildewed. My house is eighteen feet wide and ten feet to the ridge, with eighteen inches of glass in the sides. There are ventilators every three feet at the sides and at the ridge. These ventilators are kept open in the daytime, but closed at night. The plants have plenty of air. There is no shading on the glass. The soil, which is five inches deep, is on raised benches, and it is soil made from rot- ted sod and sandy loam — two parts sod to one part well rotted stable manure. When I planted them, about two weeks ago, I gave the soil a good sprinkling of sheep manure, raking it in thoroughly before planting. I have the plants Set 8x10, leaving two stems to each plant. They are growing nicely, but as the hew growth comes out they become badly mildewed. What can I do to save them or check this? I have these varieties planted: Oc- tober Frost, Glory of Pacific, Polly Rose, Monrovia, Mrs. H. Robinson, Touset and Wm. Duckham. I am lo- cated in Pennsylvania. A. R. M. The house, benches and compost seem to be about as they should be and the only fault in the methods, as described, is the lack of ventilation at night. Throw open all available ventilators and keep them open day and night, reducing the ventilation only in case of violent storm. The ridge ventila- tors can be lowered halfway for safety through the night, but on no account should they ever be closed. To kill the present mildew, use one ounce of sulphide of potassium, which can be procured of a druggist, to two gallons of water, or use Ivory soap. dissolved till the water fee^s soapy. Either of these solutions, sprayed over and under the foliage, will quickly destroy the mildew. The mums named by A. R. M. are not subject to mildew if grown in the right conditions. Keep all shade off the glass and syringe in bright weather six or eight times a day. being careful not to sodden the soil. "V. H. Tottv. OUTDO cKm MUMS. The National Council of Horticulture is seeking to encourage the public's use of the chrysanthemum as an outdoor flower. Nearly all chrysanthemums are hardy south of the Ohio river, but' com- paratively few will stand the rigor of northern winters and perfect their flow- ers before severe frost. The early flow- ering and the hardy kinds are the only ones suitable for outdoors in the north- ern states, and the Council 's press serv- ice says that inquiry of a florist will show which are suitable for any lo- cality. Chrysanthemums are partial to a rich, well-drained soil, and they require a lib- eral supply of water. In fact, they soon suffer if allowed to become dry. They may be planted in masses, the plants being set about a foot apart, or single plants may be trained into specimens. Planting should be done soon after dan- ger of frost is over, selecting a sheltered position, if possible, with a southern aspect. If south of a building, a fence or shrubbery, protection is afforded against early frost. As the plants are gross feeders, the soil should be en- riched well, and after buds are formed a top-dressing of an inch of well-rotted manure will be beneficial. If the weather is dry, frequent watering will assist in perfecting the flowers. The Mum Manual, by Elmer D. Smith, for 40 cents sent to The Review. 12 The Weekly Florists^ Review* JuxE 9, 1910. TREATMENT FOR GLOXINIAS. Gloxinias, when in flower, enjoy a moderately warm house, 60 degrees at night being sufficient. It is a mistake to shade heavily. No sun should reach the plants, but they do not want to be in a dark, semi-diingeon-like structure, or the flowers will lack texture and the stems substance. Young stock raised from seed in January or February, if kept potted along, will make nice flow- not to bury the crown, and on the other hand do not leave it too ele- vated, or it will be constantly see- sawing and will finally snap off if not supported. Properly ' potted primulas need no support. Keep on the sashes during bright sunshine; remove them on dull days and during warm nights. Cloth or lath shades are better than whitening the glass, as they keep the plants cooler. >--j Golden Spur Narcissus at J. J. GruUemans & Sons', Lisse, Holland. ering plants in July and August. Give them a place well up to the glass and do not coddle them. Except on cold nights, leave some ventilation on all the time. Give them a light but at the same time fairly rich compost, and do not pot too firmly. To secure good sized tubers for another season, the bost plan with seedlings is to plant them out in a eoldframe in rows a foot apart, allowing six to eight inches be- tween the plants. Keep the sashes tilted top and bottom all the time. Fumigate once in eight or ten days for thrips. Water, when well established, once in four or five days. The plants will make grand growth treated thus and throw splendid flowers in late summer. They can Ye lifted and stored in flats to ripen in October. PRIMULAS IN SUMMER. The best place for such winter flow- ering primulas as Sinensis, obconica and Kewensis during the summer months is a eoldframe. One facing north or east is better than one having a south or western exposure. A coating of fine coal ashes three or four inches thick, in which the little pots easily can be partially plunged, will keep worms from finding their way into the drainage. Our earliest plants are now in 3-inch and 4-inch pots, and any still in flats or pans should be potted before they be- come crowded. A good compost con- sists of one-half well-rotted fibrous loam, one-third leaf-mold, not too much; decayed and inclined to be flaky, and the balance old decayed hotbed or cow manure, adding a little sharp sand and fine charcoal to give porosity and sweet- ness. Be sure in ])otting P. Sinensis One successful primula grower plants out his young stock in coldframes, well up to the glass, in light but fairly rich soil. He keeps the sashes over them all summer, but gives air all the time, and lifts and places the plants in their blooming pots early in October, taking a nice ball with each. Better grown plants rarely are seen, and placed in a shaded house they become established quickly and hardly lose a leaf. This plan has many features to recommend it, the chief saving being in labor, pot ting and watering. We should like any primula growers who want to get somo extra fine plants, to try this plan. IRIS FOR IDENTIFICATION. I am sending the bud of an iris and shall be glad to have you tell me the name of the variety. The flowers ex pand well in water after cutting and remain in good shape for several days. The flower is the same form as the Spanish iris, white with golden mark ings. The foliage is narrow. The plant grows about thirty inches high, is robust, hardy and forms large clumps like the German iris. It always is in flower with us in Kansas for Memorial day. The roots are rhizomate, but still are much like a mass of stiff wire. It thrives in any good soil. The variety was introduced here several years ago by an English lady and it is sometimes called Iris Angelica. I shall be glad to have any information you can give about it. a H. C. When the bud reached me it was too far gone for positive identification. Considering the flower with the descrip- tion, it probably is Iris Siberica alba. If so, it blooms after the German sec- tion. William A. Peterson. ANTIRRHINX7MS FOR MARKET. We have noticed in the wholesale markets during the last season that an- tirrhinums well grown and of pleasing shades of color have sold well. The best shades are pure white and pink; next to these come yellow and dark red. In the better class flower stores pink is the popular color. As a rule, pink snapdragons do not produce so robust spikes as the other varieties, but they flower just as early and as profusely. We hope you remembered to select cut- tings from one or two of your best varieties and have had them planted outdoors. From these you should soon be able to secure some cuttings, which. if kept potted along, will prove useful Miscellaneous Bulbs Shown by Grullemans & Sons, of Lisse, at the Haarlem Exhibition.

Among the exhibitors at the great Jubilee show at Haarlem, Holland, J. .f. Grullemans & Sons, Lisse, have been conspicuously successful, winning three gold medals and two silver gilt med- als. The gold medals were awarded for the best early tulips, the best tu- lips at the exhibition, and the best col- lection of narcissi. The silver gilt medals were won on named hyacinths and collection of miscellaneous bulbs. It is interesting to recall that at the floral exhibition in 1856 this firm also obtained highest awards for tu- lips, narcissi and hyacinths. The busi- ness was established in 1839, but not until 1854 did the firm really enter the field as bulb exporters, the founder of the business making .journeys through Germany, before the advent |>f railways, on horseback. The busi- ness is now international in charac- ter, the present senior partner and his four sons traveling regularly in Euro- pean countries and America. J. J. < Grullemans, Jr., was only 16 years old when he made his first business trip to America and easily took the palm •IS the youngest of the many Holland liulb men in America that season. He has since made regular journeys through the States and become well luiown to many bulb merchants. The firm's catalogue is one of the largest published in Holland. The 1910 ("dition contains 180 pages, finely printed, and in addition to the usual line of bulbs contains a list of many 'are and choice varieties of miscoUa- "'^ous bulbs cultivated by the firm, ^^arcissi are strongly specialized in. "lie 1854 catalogue contained eleven varieties; the 1910 catalogue, 1,500, in- 'liiding some of the most recently in- troduced seedlings. An export trade is done with America, England, Germany, Austria, Russia, Norway. Sweden, Aus- "alia, Africa, British "Columbia, Can- ada, etc., and the catalogue is published in the language of each country. ASTER BEETIiES. Is manure water better for asters than the rotted manure? Last year I used rotted manure, and a small black bug killed hundreds of asters for me. It seemed to be the manure that bred them. G. E. S. While manure water is good for asters, I would much prefer well rotted cow or horse manure in the ground.

WS SHALL BE GLAD 'NTO HKAR FROM TOO black beetles, which I presume are the pests referred to, do not come in the manure. They, however, seem to breed spontaneously where any asters are planted. Hand-picking is a partial re- lief from their attacks, which are usually the worst when the flowers are opening. , T have tried a variety of remedies and find Paris green, at the rate of one pound to 2.50 gallons of water, or a small spoonful to a 12 quart watering can, sprayed over the jilant.-. will clean therii oiit in short order. This poison will color even white flowers so little as to be hardly noticeable. It is readily removed by dipping the flowers in water. Use a fine spray nozzle when applying the poison, and be sure to wet all the flowers. Other poisons tried discolor the foliage too much, but you will find the Paris green in water will prevent your flowers from being chewed to pieces. Do not spray when rain is imminent. If the poison can stay on a few hours, it will do its work thoroughtly. C. W. AMARYLLIS AFTER FLOWERING. After flowering amaryllis, they often are sadly neglected and stood in almost any out-of-the-way place. This is all wrong. On the treatment they receive during the growing season the quality of the next crop of spikes chiefly de- pends. If bench space can be spared, an excellent plan is to plunge the pots to the brims in partially decayed leaves. This keeps the roots cooler and more moist and only a fraction of the water- ing is necessary. If greenhouse space is not at command, any coldframe with proper headroom will answer just as well. Keep sashes on all the time, but never close them. Syringe the plants every afternoon and feed every four or five days all such as are well pot- bound. You will be surprised at the way the bulbs will increase in size un- der this treatment. The sashes should have a coat of whitening, but of only moderate thickness. LATE GLADIOLI. Tho last planting of gladioli should now hfe made. Of course, bulbs may be kept as late even as July, but there is little- advantage in it, as the earlier ones are of better quality. Let the bulbs be covered not less than six inches and they will withstand the summer drought much better. It is a common error to plant too shallow. Keep the earlier plantings in the field well cultivated. These are this season looking' particulgitly promising, thanks to the cool, moi6t weather experienced. The increasing/ interest in this flower fully warrants/the formation of a spe- cial society tm guard and advance its interests, and we wish every success to the newlv-^ormed Gladiolus Societv. 12 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Jim: It.

Isaac Suydam Hendrickson, first president of the American Gladiolus Society, has charge of the wholesale de- partment of the business of John Lewis Childs, Floral Park, N. Y. Mr. Hen- drickson is a type of the young men who have done so much in recent years to establish floriculture on a business footing similar to that on which other industries are conducted. The gladiolus has been one of his special departments for yeais. There are few who deal in the gladiolus more extensively, and his selection as president seems a fortunate one for the new organization to be de- voted to this special flower. Mr. Hendrickson was born September 6, 1875, at Floral Park. He has been in the service of Mr. Childs over tw;enty-three years and for eight years hals occupied his present position. He IS treasurer of the Methodist church in his town, and a director of the Floral Park Bank. MARGUERITES. There is no use in trying to secure any propagating wood from marguerites at this season of the year. It is a good plan, however, to plant out a quantity of each variety, from which cuttings defy all the efforts of many growers to furnish cuttings. Plant out some of these, cutting them back pretty well. Keep others indoors. Our best cuttings came from some grown in a piece of bench, cut back well after flowering. As they started to grow, we top-dressed the bepch, kept them well watered and about August 15 some nice propagating shoots appeared. It pays to do a little experimenting with yellow marguerites to find out the best way to grow find flower them. They are now a popular spring and early summer flower and have evidently come to stay. LARV^ IN ROSEBUDS. I am sending you in a box some sam- ples of roses that look and act strangely. Can you tell me what is the cause? Is it a disease? The bush is large and full of blooms, but few of them are perfect flowers. J. S. This malformation is caused by an insect, Cynips rosa?, depositing its eggs in the bud. The grubs or larvae hatched from these eggs produce those galls or lumps, covered with greenish or reddish fibers that look like moss. Spraying with some of the tobacco solutions when the buds are forming Isaac S. Hendrickson. can be obtained in late summer. Where plants of the white varieties are in 3-inch or 4-inch pots, they 'will make nice, bushy specimens by the end of September, especially if kopt watered. Potted at that time, they make capital winter flowering plants, coming in much earlier than those propagated later in the year. Yellow marguerites will prevent the insects from approach- ing the buds. Bibes. Cedar Rapids, la. — In his newly im- proved and modern establishment, John E. Lapes is doing a much larger business than heretofore. He advertised his Memorial day facilities and had a specially good sale. BOSTON. The Market. Business has been quiet since Memo rial day. A good number of weddings are now taking place and this natu- rally uses up considerable material. Peonies have not yet made their ap- pearance to any great extent, but toward the close of the present week they will be abundant. Early arrivals hav^ realized excellent prices. There are complaints that late severe frosts have killed the buds on many varieties and the crop with some will be below the average. Eoses are in overabundant supply and many are only cleared at low rates. Owing to the absence of hot weather, the quality has held up surprisingly well. Carnot is a good seller and so- are Killarney and White Killarney. Qf My Maryland there are some fine flow- ers seen, indicating that it promises well as a summer variety. Bride and Maid continue slow sellers. Mrs. Aaron Ward is popular. Carnations are not yet overabundant and many flowers are spidery and of little value. Good flowers are selling well. Spencer sweet peas are more abundant and sell as well as anything on the market. There is still a good supply of marguerites, the yellow color being in especially good demand. Gladioli of the large-flowered types are more plentiful. So far they have sold satisfactorily. Of lilies and callas there is an adequate supply. Quite a few au- ratums are coming in. Stocks are over- abundant and the sale for candytuft, feverfew, etc., is light. Outdoor val ley is done and the indoor variety is selling only moderately well. There is a fair sale for orchids. There were never so many seen in the windows in any previous June, thanks to the recent orchid show. t There are quantities of single pyre thrums, German iris and other hardy flowers, which, however, sell rather poorly. Antirrhinums are getting poor and will soon be over. For asparagus and adiantum the demand is quite good. Trade in bedding plants shows signs of languishing, but the bulk of the deal- ers are pretty well sold out. Various Notes. Penn Bros., the enterprising and thoroughly up-to-date Bromfield street florists, had their large show-window en- tirely devoted to orchids last week, a large proportion of the Julius Boehra first-prize exhibit being included. The display attracted the attention of hosts of passers-by. The grounds of Holm Lea, Brookline, Prof. C. S. Sargent's charming estate, were opened to the public June 4 and 5, and many thousands of visitors em- braced the opportunity to inspect the beautiful show of hardy azaleas, rhodo- dendrons, huge standard wistarias and many other seasonable flowers.

Mr. Ilen- drickson is a typo of the young men who have done so much in recent years to establish floriculture on a business footing similar to that on which other industries are conducted.. The gladiolus lias been one of his special departments for years. There are few who deal in the gladiolus more extensively, and his selection as president seems a fortunate one for the new organization to be de- voted to this special flower.

There is no use in trying to secure any propagating wood from marguerites at this season of the year. It is a good plan, however, to plant out a quantity of each variety, from which cuttings defy all the efforts of many growers to furnish cuttings. Plant out some of these, cutting them back pretty well. Keep others indoors. Our best cuttings came from some grown in a piece of bench, cut back well after flowering. As they started to grow, we top-dressed the bench, kept them well watered and about August 15 some nice propagating shoots appeared. It pays to do a little experimenting with yellow marguerites to find out the best way to grow and llower them. They are now a popular spring and early summer flower and liave (>vidently come to stay. larvjE in rosebuds. 1 am sending you in a box some sam- ples of roses that look and act strangely. Can you tell me what is the cause.' Is it a disease? The bush is large and full of blooms, but few of thorn are perfect flowers. J. S. This malformation is caused by an insect, Cynips rosie. depositing its eggs in the bud. The grubs or larva? hatched from these eggs ]>roduce those galls or lumps, covered with greenish or reddish libers that look like moss. Spraying with some of the tobacco solutions when the buds are forming Isaac S. Hendrickson. can be obtained in late summer. Where plants of . the white varieties are in 3-inch or 4-inch pots, they will' make nice, bushy specimens by the end of September, especially if kept watered. Potted at that time, they make capital winter flowering plants, coming in much earlier than those propagated later in the year. Yellow marguerites will prevent the insects from approach- ing the buds. Eibes. Cedar Rapids, la. — In his newly im- proved and modern establishment, John E. Lapes is doing a much larger business than heretofore. He advertised his Memorial day facilities and had a sjiecially good sale. BOSTON. The Market. Husiiiess has been quiet since Alemi. rial day. A good number of wedding are now taking place and this natu rally uses up considerable material Peonies have not yet made their ap pearance to any great extent, bu' toward the close of the present weel they will be abundant. Early arrivah iiave realized excellent prices. Theri are complaints that late severe frost: have killed the buds on many varieties and the crop with some will be belo^^ the average. Koses are in overabundant supply ant.' many are only cleared at low rates Owing to the absence of hot weather the quality has held up surprisingly well. Carnot is a good seller and sc- are Killarney and White Killarney. Of My Maryland there are some fine flow ers seen, indicating that it promise.- well as a summer variety. Bride and Maid continue slow sellers. ]\^s. Aaroi: Ward is popular. Carnations are not yet overabundant and many flowers are spidery and of little value. Good flowers are selling well. Spencer sweet peas are more abundant and sell as well as anything on the market. There is still a good supply of marguerites, the yellow color being in especially good demand. Gladioli of the large-flowered types are more plentiful. So far they have sold satisfactorily. Of lilies and callas there is an adequate supply. Quite a few au- ratums are coming in. Stocks are over abundant and the sale for candytuft feverfew, etc., is light. Outdoor val ley is done and the indoor variety is selling only moderately well. There is a fair sale for orchids. There were never so many seen in the windows in any previous June, thanks to the receni orchid show. Tliero arc (piaiititics of single pyre tlirums, (iermaii iris and other hard^ flowers, which, however, sell rather poorly. Antirrhinums are getting poor and will soon be over. For asparagus and adiantum the demand is quite good. Trade in bedding plants shows signt of languishing, but the bulk of the deal ors are pretty well sold out. Various Notes. I'cnn Bros., the enterprising anc? thoroughly up-to-date Bromfield street florists, had their large show-window en tirely devoted to orchids last week, a large proportion of the Julius Roehrs first-prize exhibit being^ncluded. The display attracted the attention of hosts of passers-by. The grounds of Holm Lea, Brookline Prof. C. S. Sargent's charming estate were opened to the public June 4 and 5, and many thousands of visitors em braced the opportunity to inspect the beautiful show of hardy azaleas, rhodo dendrons, huge standard- Tvistarias and many other seasonable flowers.

In many central western localities Avhere bedding out usually is pretty well along by the middle of June, it hardly has been started this season. We have so much bad weather this spring that, if the seasons are to average up, as they usually do, it should mean a iine summer and autumn. The price of glass, of putty, of paint and of oil is what even sellers call ' ' way up," but the price of the products grown under them is normal. J. A. Valentine and Mrs. Valentine are busy this week extending the glad hand to the visitors at the nurserymen 's national convention, now in progress at Denver. IsoT a few ^bscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Review $2, .$3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar bill that insures fil'ty- two copies. Secretary A. H. Fewkes announces that, owing to continued cool weather, it has been found neftessary to postpone the annual meeting and exhibition of the American Peony Society, at Boston, from June 9 and 10 to Tuesday and Wednes- ilay, June 14 and 15. C. W. Johnson, secretary of the Chrys- anthemum Society of America, has issued New York ' 2:r-j— tl»e annual volume. It contains, in addi tion to the report of the convention, essays and prize awards of the meeting held at New York last November, and published at the time in The Review, a list of the new varieties disseminated in 1909, both American and foreign, and a list of the society's 118 members.^ AMERICAN EOSE SOCIETY. A. N. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn., has filed with the American Rose Society no- tice of registration of a new sport of Killarney, originating in 1908. It is identical with the Killarney, except in color, which is much brighter, showing a strong tendency to red, some blooms having been as dark in color as the Richmond, and the average of the crop for the entire year of 1909 only a shade lighter. The question has been addressed to the secretary, whether the American Rose Society will have a June show, but up to this writing there have been no steps taken toward such an exhibition. The Minnesota State Rose Society has applied for a bronze medal to be offered at its summer exhibition for the best exhibit by an amateur. The definitior which the society gives of an amateiii is, "One who grows the plants himseit or herself, but does not regularly emplov a gardener to grow them, and one wlic does not grow or sell plants as a busi ness.

If the month holds out to the end as well as it did through the first week, June will go on record as one of the best ever known in this market. Some wholesalers think the unusually active conditiqn of the market since Memorial day has been largely due to the scarcity of outdoor flowers; others think the cool weather is responsible, delaying the arrival of that time of the year when people seek their pleasures in the open air and without the aid of flow- ers; still others say the exceptionally high quality of the stock available as a result of the cool weather has stimu- lated the business, while others point to the general prosperity of the west and say the June increase is no more than the normal gain, apparent all through the first five months of the year. But everyone agrees on the fact that business last week was excellent. The out-of-town demand is better than the city business, and the call is prin- cipally for the finer grades of stock. Since Memorial day there has been a considerable improvement in the qual- ity of the stock, with the possible ex- ception of Beauties. Most of the whole- salers will say that really first-class long Beauties are scarce, though there are plenty of cripples. Of other roses there is an abundance of notably fine quality. The cool weather recently pre- vailing has restored the color and texture, leaving nothing to be desired in roses. It is possible to procure Kil- larney, Richmond, White Killarney, Marvland, Jardine, Cardinal and Rhea Reid with stems of exceptional length and buds in proportion, while those old favorites. Maid and Bride, have again come into the race. Kaiserin is abund- ant and fine. While Killarney continues to be the best seller, the call for red Vrs improved and Richmond, Cardinal June 9, 1910.

There is plenty of shorter stock, and buyers find values extra good all through the rose department. With such large supply, such fine stock and such moderate prices, it is no wonder a big business is being done. Carnations are in heavier supply and are of improved quality. Prices are moderate. Under the circumstances, there is little demand for the lower grades, and growers who cut a consid- erable proportion of these find returns unsatisfactory. For others, they are seasonable. One of the most popular flowers of the season is the Butterfly sweet pea. Nobody wants me winter bloomers any more. There are all kinds and condi- tions of Butterfly peas. Some have stems four or five inches long and others have stems eighteen inches long. Some are nice, clean stock, and some are not. Consequently the price is anywhere from 50 cents to $1.50 per hundred, with the best grade selling much more promptly than the others. Not many peonies have come in. The weather is too cool. A number of local growers, however, are cutting moderate quantities, and the deluge will follow a few warm days. Much of the stock shows frost injury, but peonies have been selling excellently, because of light supplies. Easter lilies are not so abun- dant as they were, and callas are pass- ing. The market is well supplied with fancy gladioli, Augusta being the prin- cipal variety seen, with lesser quanti- ties of Mrs. Francis King, which is the best seller. Valley is an important item, but plentiful. Daisies are not abundant. The miniature gladioli are not selling well. Cattleyas are less plentiful, but still are equal to any re- quirements. There are abundant supplies of green goods. Asparagus strings are not yet especially plentiful, but the demand ap- pears to have dropped oflf as a result 6f the scarcity which has continued for months. Smi^ax is fairly abundant, but not in large request. Adiantum is plentiful. Ferns from storage are pretty well cleaned up, but new crop is availa- ble. Make Wants Clear. Many peculiar things happen in a holiday rush. Here is one of them: An extra hand in a wholesale house picked out and shipped an order of roses, send- ing the best the firm had and charging their price. When it was discovered what grade of stock had been sent, a strong protest was expected by return mail. When the letter came this is what it said: "The roses were fine; why don't you send me that grade all the time? I wouldn't mind the price if I could get that quality." The cus- tomer had always been sent second- grade goods, under the impression that it was what he wanted. In a great many cases if buyers would make their wants more clearly known to the wholesaler, they would not lose anything by it. May Weather. May was a cold and peculiar month. The mean temperature was 3 degrees below normal; the rainfall was one- third greater than normal; the warmest day was 78 degrees, May 22, but this record was exceeded several times in March and also in April. There were frosts May 5, 26 and 27, and the dura- tion of sunshine was only fifty-five per cent of the possible number of hours. Club Meeting. At the club meeting June 2 the subur- ban vice-president, H. E. Philpott, of Winnipeg, occupied the chair in the absence of President Asmus. The at- tendance was light and, in the hope of stimulating interest, it was voted to set up a dollar dinner to each member pres- ent at the July meeting. A committee consisting of A. I. Simmons, W. F. Sco- field and Alex. Henderson was appointed to have charge. Capt. Simmons is in charge of the commissary department of the -Seventh Eegiment, I. N. G., so this assignment is right in his line and should draw a crowd. P. J. Saunders and George Grimm were elected to membership. A repre- sentative of the Michigan Central was present to tell the club what a fine road his is for the trip to Rochester to the S. A. F. convention.

The Jones Dry Goods Co., Kansas City, went into the hands of receivers June 4. At times this concern is one of the largest buyers of cut flowers in the Chicago market. Their specialty has been Saturday special sales of car- nations, though occasionally short roses would be used. They often bought from 10,000 to 25,000 flowers on a Friday, paying $7.50 to $12.50 for carnations and a little more for roses. The firm owes over a million dollars, mostly to banks, but the receivers say it is solvent and will come out all right. They will continue. Bad weather is said to have caused the trouble.

Nearly all of them had some sliipping orders to points outside of the city. Last week the trade was mostly for weddings and school commencements, which will keep up until June 15, when the season is practically ended. The plantsmen are slacking up in their line, as most of the planting has been completed and bedding stock is running low. They all say they cleaned up nicely this season. TJie wholesalers have been receiving good and large consignments of cut stock, with prices much lower, but stock all has sold well in the higher grades. Roses, carnations and sweet peas still are coming in heavily, with good grades in gladioli, Harrisii lilies and lily of the valley. Peonies have been some- what scarce. Ferns are scarce; fancy are up to $2.50 per thousand and dag- ger at $2. Other greens are plentiful. Various Notes. K. W. Guy, of Belleville, was made a Shriner here last week.

Wedding bells are ringing constantly. Every retailer seems to have his share of the good things, and some of the decorations run up into the thousands. It is going to be a good month — this leafy month of June — good for the orchid men, and the gardenia men, and the rose men, and the valley men. The florists surely deserve a fat June. The picking has been light of late and busi- ness far from inspiring. Prices do not rise, and if they hold steady where they are until July, we may be thank- ful. There is nothing to add to last week's record. Beauties and all other roses are about the same. Careful selecting sometimes adds a little to the average quotations, but not much. Carnations are down; 2 cents buys the best of them. Valley holds firm and at times 4 cents is obtainable, 3 cents and 4 cents for the stock for the swell wed- ding bouquets. Good sweet peas sell readily, as well as selected gardenias and orchids, for which the wedding call is persistent. Grand is the cut of peonies. Lilies are falling again, and of outdoor stock of roses and shrubs there is no limit. Changes Among Wholesalers. .John I. Raynor made a graceful re- tirement, June 4, from the wholesale cut flower business, after an experience of many years. He leaves the street with a competence and a reputation for square dealing unsurpassed, and with the good will and wishes of all his cus- tomers and competitors. His record in the business covers over thirty years. P. J. Smith, who succeeds him, has himself been over twenty-one years in the wholesale cut flower trade, two years with Burns & Raynor, two and one-half years with W. S. Allen and seventeen years with Mr. Raynor as foreman. He is popular and efficient, and the same business principles that characterized his predecessor will con- 24 The Weekly Florists' Review^ June 9, 1!)10. A. MOLTZ MAURICE L.

Gradually the veterans of the busi- ness are retiring on their laurels, or gravitating towards the simple life. William Ford is on his fine estate in Pennsylvania. John Young is growing young on his big farm and among his Beauties at Bedford Hills. The young men are slowly but surely taking up the responsibilities of those who have borne the burden and heat of the day. Some of the veterans have earned a well-deserved retirement, but it is a work, this daily contact with nature and the beautiful, in which men do not grow old. The first wholesaler of all is still active and every day finds him caring for a string of hotels, and in the same store he occupied when he be- gan his career, over thirty-five years ago — the venerable Jimmj' Hart, of Madison. The firm of A. Moltz & Co.. on the second tloor of the Coogan building, is another enterprise that will be estab- lished July 1. Mr. Moltz has been in the wholesale cut tiower business for twenty years, dealing exclusively in roses. Maurice Glass is a brother-in- law of Mr. Moltz and has been in his service for eight years. He is a young man of excellent character anJLalg^tu- ral salesman. The firm will enlarge its tloor space and will deal in all kinds of cut flowers hereafter. The business will be strictly wholesale. Various Notes. Monday, June 1.3, the final meeting of the season for the Florists' Club takes place at its rooms in the Grand Opera House building, Twenty-third street and Eighth avenue. Competition for the Hitchings cup begins, and some fine exhibits are assured. Also, there will be much business of importance and interest. The club's outing is less than three weeks away. The annual outing of the New York and New Jersey Plant Growers' Asso- ciation will take place early in July, if present plans are completed, with a boat trip as the principal feature. In the same month the Greek florists ' so- ciety will celebrate as usual. Everybody is going to Eochester in August. The New York special will have a larger crowd than the one that journeyed to Buffalo at the time of the world's fair. All our exhibitors, as usual, have secured space and will make larger displays than ever. C. C. Trepel is enlarging his con- veniences at Loeser's and Blooming- dale's, doubling the size of his space in both cut flower departments and adding to his greenhouse facilities. The annual exhibition of the New York Horticultural Society in the Museum building of the Botanical Gar- dens opened June 3, with George V. Nash in charge. Large crowds attended Saturday and Sunday. Bonnot Bros, report a case of repudi- ation of order that may interest others who have had similar experiences. A retail florist up state ordered $50 worth of carnations to be sent on a specified train on a Saturday and sent his check for the goods. The express company failed to get them to the customer be- fore Monday. The florist refused the goods and stopped jiayment on the check. The wholesaler had already do- posited it and protest charges were added. He shipped the goods at the exact time specified by the retail florist and at the extra expense of local cart- age. Who is responsible, and can the wholesaler collect by law? June 4 the final meeting of the New York Cut Flower Exchange for the year was held in Long Island City, John Donaldson presiding. Kessler Bros, imported 400 bay trees and phoenix in decorative sizes, which arrived last week and have sold rap- idly. They are much pleased with their temporary store at 450 Sixth avenue. A large importation of kentias has been secured for the fall. This firm will at that time add a wholesale cut flower department to its business. The bouquets illustrated this montl' so profusely in the Ladies' Home Jour nal also feature the ribbon creations of Wertheimer Bros.

Niessen's News Column To bring about satisfactory re- sults, in any pursuit in life, it re quires a steady, unremitting effort in the right direction. It is such an effort we apply in conducting our business. Every transaction, the filling of each order, clearly shows the individual care and at- tention— the kind of service that does not vary, which is good to- day, and which we aim to improve the next. We make mention of a few of the good things for this week: BEAUTIES The Best, $3.00 per dozen. Special price in quantity. ROSES Good stock, $5.00 & $6.00 per 100.

PHILADELPHIA. The Bising Eastern Market. Quality and variety play the leading roles on the floral stage this week, and when their parts are properly filled there is a good run. Large orders for sweet peas, valley. Beauties, fancy roses, and smaller ones for cattleyas, are everyday affairs, yet the market is quieter than it was and ordinary flowers feel the difference. Sweet peas have been the liveliest factor in the June market, the weather, so unusually cool and cloudy, having much to do with the odd antics of sweet peas. One day they are fine and plen- tiful; the next one cannot get them for love or money, to say nothing of a few hard words. The indoor crop is mostly disappearing through the exit, the outdoor crop coming through the entrance, but they cannot get in with such weather as we have been having. However, a single day of warm sun- shine will bring in enough outdoor sweet peas to fill the entire stage. The quality of these outdoor peas is re- markable. A number of growers are sending in stock fully equal to the new crop indoor, of which there are still some houses. Valley has been in splendid demand. It is noted by the wide-awake valley growers that the demand for this flower is best on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, indicating that the wed- dings and greatest floral activity are early in the week, while toward the end of the week the absence of these gayeties, the cessation of the May day festivities in the churches, and the Sat- urday half holidays make it dull, in direct contrast to May. There is enough business to keep prices firm where the flowers retain quality. The difference is felt chiefly in carnations, where there is a falling off since the high-water mark of last week, the poorer grades being particu- larly hard to sell. Peonies are still abundant. The local crop has nearly ceased coming into the market, but it will be followed by the peonies from a cooler clime. Easter lilies are regaining their hold on popu- lar favor with the increase in weddings. Cattleyas are excellent, in two varie- ties, and in demand. Gardenias are dull. There is some activity in the finer greens. The Cemetery Florists. Memorial day is the big day among the florists who depend on one or an- other of our large cemeteries for their business. By May 30 they expect to dispose of all their spring plants, foli- age or flowering, that can be got into condition, ^he demand is largely for rustic baskets and vases, and a sprink- Jing of elaborate beds, a generous planting of ivy, hardy rose bushes and shrubbery. Inquiry at some of the establish- ments in the neighborhood of Laurel Hill and West Laurel Hill, including Westcotts' Nurseries, Mrs. Mary Al- burger and Edward Alburger, confirms the impression that the season has been one of great activity. The demand is generally believed to have been better than in previous years, A new ruling at West Laurel Hill cemetery forbidding outside florists to do work inside the cemetery grounds is a serious drawback to the business interests there. It appears that the erection of the new greenhouse plant of the cemetery company is an indus- try requiring protection, for the pres- ent at least, and the florist industry is therefore restricted in this direction. Whether this policy of restriction can be continued remains to be seen. Mr. Berger's New Store.

The new prop- erty is thirty-four feet front and 492 5eet deep. This will give ample room lor a driveway beside the store, in or- ;ler to obtain access to the conserva- 'ories in the rear. It is interesting to look back at the steady progress made by Mr. Berger ■ind his son. The greenhouses on Queen street, doing a wholesale and retail inisiness, have been a factor for years. Then came the little shop on East Chel- fen avenue, so tiny that you waited on 'he sidewalk while the pretty girl ahead •^f you purchased her flowers inside. Bat Germantown was not slow in find- ing out that Fred Berger had taste. That fact once ascertained, progress 'Fas steady, for Germantown knew a good thing and meant to keep it. The little store on East Chelten avenue was succeeded by a much finer store on Germantown avenue nearby, where a flourishing business was built up. The present store, however, is not equal to the requirements of the business and Fred Berger has promised that the new shop will be a distinct improvement on anything that Germantown has seen in the past. Mr. Bice's Betum. As chronicled in this column, M. Rice returned from his European trip to New York June 2. When seen this week in his business home Mr. Eice spoke with pleasure of his trip, joshed his inter- viewer a little and then proceeded to tell of his success. "Mr. Zirkman says," Mr. Eice wound up enthusiastic- ally, "that the coming season will be the greatest in the history of this house, and of florists' supplies, for we have a wonderful collection of the best things." Of course, this was after Mr. Zirkman had had a preliminary view of what is to come. Various Notes.

Business has been most satisfactory the last week. We have been experienc- ing some unusually cold, wet weather , for this time of the year, causing much sickness. Funeral work has been making big demands on the market. The usual .Tune weddings are creating a' call for peas, valley, etc., which it is hard to meet. Dark, rainy days shortened up the supply of stock of every description. .Tust at present prices remain about the same as last week, but there is every in- dication that we will have warmer weather and clear skies; consequently, there will be a big increase in the supply, and naturally, the prices will come down.

Decoration day business was a rec- ord-breaker with all the florists here. The Aveather was ideal. Saturday and Sunday proved as good selling days as Monday and the florists enjoyed three big days, selling out clean by noon on Monday. Plant trade was exception- ally good, every plant being sold that showed a flower. Good carnations sold for $1 per dozen; peonies, $1.50; roses, $1.50 to $2.50; jasmine, 35 cents to 50 cents per dozen. Various Notes. William Trillow reports that his trade on Decoration day was almost double that of a year ago. The Iowa Seed Co. says Decoration day business broke all records. The .T. 8. "Wilson Floral Co. reports a fifty per cent increase over Decoration day of last year, both in cut flowers and plants. The Eush Floral Co. did a great busi- ness on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The Guthrie-Lorenz Co. had about all the business it was possible to handle, disposing of a great many blooming plants. This city is about cleaned out of good geraniums and vincas. ■p. E. Elder is the new manager of tlie flower department of the Iowa Seed Co. The Iowa Floral Co. is building eight more greenhouses. Frank Riley has left the employ of this firm. Booster. DAYTON, OHIO. The Market. While it is a little late to make a report on Decoration day business, still the report is too good to keep. The good report comes from all sides, com- bined with the general complaint of not having nearly enough stock. People who waited until the last minute to get their flowers wc^re greatly disappointed. The weather, being quite cool, was just right for keeping stock, but, on the other hand, it greatly checked the prog- ress of outdoor stock, especially peonies, the supply of which was so scant that it was an utter impossibility to fill or- ders on them. Carnations were quite abundant and the prices on them held up well, while many more could have been handled to good advantage. The rose crop was also heavy, but the trade did not seem HENRY M.

Brooklyn, N. Y. to call for roses as readily as other stock. Nevertheless, when the supply of other stock was exhausted, they were glad to take what they could get. Con- siderable quantities of double narcissi and jasmines were shipped into this market and all were disposed of. Un- fortunately, it was an impossibility to get ferns in quantity. Not one-half of the orders could be filled, which was a great inconvenience to those who had lots of bouquet orders. Besides, there was a great deal of funeral work com- ing in continually, and this, combined with Decoration day orders, kept the florists on the .jump from early morn- ing until late at night. Bedding plants were well cleaned out by May 30, and thus, luckily, there were not many plants to handle during the other rush. Last week's business, too, was quite heavy. An unusual demand for funeral work was largely the cause of this. Light carnations were so scarce that it was impossible to fill half the orders for them. Trade previous to Decoration day, and in fact throughout the month of May, was exceedingly good. The weather, however, was not at all in harmony with the month of May, but was more like a mixture of March and April, with practically more rain than sunshine. Such weather was hard on all outdoor crops, especially farm crops. Farmers were greatly delayed in put- ting in their crops, while some have been obliged to plant their corn as often as three times. A severe hail storm, accompanied by high winds, New Eastern Feros Write for price and yearly contracts. ROBERT GROVES, 127 CommBrcial St ADAMS, MASS. struck this section of the state May 29 and did a great deal of damage, breaking glass and shattering all sorts of vegetation. Fortunately for ,the florists, the brunt of the storm struck the country regions about two miles north of the city. Thus none of the flor- ists suffered any loss. Various Notes. Mrs. B. Hendrichs reports that Deco ration day trade this season was the best that she has ever experienced. She thinks this is partly due to the fact that a great deal of outdoor stock was killed or crippled by frost and held back by the continuous cold weather, Mrs. E. Young says that everything in sight, even peony buds, sold for May 30, and business suited her well. ' ' Decoration day was unquestionably a most successful one, but we needed more stock," is the report of the Heiss Co. This firm has been greatly incon- venienced by the exceedingly cool weather, which has sadly delayed spring planting. R. A. B. Please discontinue my advertisement in The Review; it did the work. — J.

Allen says he has no trouble to get $1.50 per dozen for geraniums, if they are branchy plants, grown near the glass, well looked over and shifted several times. It pays, he says, to do this. Mr. Allen laments the fact that the great orchid show at Boston was held during the busy week, when it was impossible for the general craftsman to leave home. He is one of , many who are growing orchids commer- cially, and consequently are much inter- ested in them. WANT ADVERTISEMENTS. Adyertlsements under this head one cent a word. CASH WITH ORDER.

All stock brought good prices, especially carnations, which were scarce. There were not enough red roses to go around. Practically everything was ordered up, even before it was on hand. The quality of the flowers was exceptionally good. The tremendous de- mand upon the market for cut ferns kept the amount on hand in a rather depleted condition. The supply of other decorative greens was sufficient. The early part of this week shows a tendency for blooms of every kind, ex- cept sweet peas, to accumulate, and prices have shaded. Heavy orders for the middle of the week are expected to relieve prices. The retail stores also enjoyed a prof- itable week. Every occasion, from the graduate recitals of the music schools to the University of Cincinnati com- mencement, used up flowers. At the high school exercises, .June 3, every sweet girl graduate carried one or more bouquets. Various Notes. A deal has about been consummated whereby the firm of Weiland & Olinger dissolves partnership, the former retir- ing from the firm because of ill health. P. J. Olinger, who has now acquired Mr. Weiland 's interest in the business and now has complete control of it, has been connected with the trade lo- cally for the last five years. He has a pleasing personality, is popular with the florists, and these qualities, combined with his determination to give everyone a square deal, as he has in the past, should make the business a success from the start. Mr. Weiland intends to go to the Springs to complete the cure of his rheumatism. Then he ex- WILLIAM J. SMYTH FLORIST "" "'fSI*^.*"- We ship to all points In Illinois and Iowa.

George Bartholomew, of the Miami Floral Co., Dayton, O., furnished a local retail store with many red roses of excellent quality for their orders for the high school commencement. Other stock from the Miami Floral Co. was also good. William Murphy has been filling many orders from outside the city for his carnations and other stock. E. G.

Caxnkrs in tiie central west are ro- jjorted as liavinfj to replant much of their sweet corn acreage. Later advices from the Puget Sound cabbage seed section hold no better prom- ises than did the earlier reports. Report-s from Denmark thus far are not unfavorable and at least a fair crop of cabbage and cauliflower is expected. The aster seed growers are beginning to be anxious for settled, seasonable weather. They need a good crop this year. The sweet peas in California are look- ing fine and another good crop is assured if weather conditions are ordinarily fa- vorable. The Nebraska corn an, '^/ ^o. i>lioation Mention The Review •when you write. iiiic, nearly all the houses reporting sliowing a greater gain in March than there w^as falling off in the other Mionths. Undoubtedly March of 1910 was the busiest month the American seed trade ever has experienced. Curi- ously enough, the complaint is of weath- ir conditions, rather than of seed short- •iges, although before the selling season 'ipened the cry of shortage was louder •ind more general than in any recent year. The letters which follow confirm, in 'Most respects, the opinions expressed in 'lie letters published last week. Otto Schwill & Co., Memphis, Tenn. The general demand for seeds during lie spring of 1910 shows considerable iiiprovenient over previous years. The > lanting of all stocks and varieties of '^getables has been heavy in this imme- "iiite section; this is also true of the 'lanting of farm crops. The season has 'een rather unfavorable for most items. I'lie cold weather during April hurt I'ops of all kinds very much, and even iiiring the month of May there has ■'(■en but little growth, as the weather 'las not been favorable. The prospects, 'lowever, are for a fair crop of every- thing. Prices on garden truck have 'leen somewhat above the average this spring. Texas Seed & Floral Co., Dallas. The seed business in Texas will show »P much better this year than last year. While we had an excellent trade early in the season last year, the dry spell set i» about April and we did not have enough rain to amount to anything from that time until late in the fall. On this account crops were burned up badly all through Texas, and trade during the summer and fall months was poor in- deed. This year, however, we have been favored with seasonable weather, trade has been a great deal better and the prospects are that it will hold up nicely during the remainder of the season, un- less something unexpected should hap- pen. Of course, during the next two or three months our trade depends largely on the weather conditions. When we have extremes of dry and wet weather there is more -replanting done than when the weather is more even and favorable to the farmer; so, from the way things appear just now, we do not expect any especial runs on seed, but look for a fairly good seed business all along. We deal largely in both field and gar- den seeds. We have had a very good trade this season on seed corn, sugar cane, millet, cow peas, etc. The mar- ket on cane, however, has been weak for .some time and the profit extremely small. Our garden seed business has been fine. At present we are having an enor- mous demand for our poultry foods, which we manufacture ourselves. We are now handling from 10,000 to 15,000 pounds each day. We have also had a good business this season on bee-keep- ers' supplies, the best we have had for several years; however, we usually have a good business in this line. Our bee and poultry supplies are handled in one department and we find they work to- gether nicely. L. L. Olds Seed Co., Madison, Wis.

The month of March was an ex('e|»tioiially good month, but, owing to the continued cold weather later, business fell off more rapidly than usual (luring the month of April. It has been a jioor year for potatoes but a banner year for corn, and our garden seed business has iilinost doubled that of any previous year. .lust at jjresent there is a great demand for vegetable plants. The late frosts destroyed thou- sands of i)lants and wiped out the early gardens in this section. Northrup, King & Co., Minneapolis. In addition to thft unseasonable sea- son, so to sjieak. the seed business in'' the northwest lias been complicated by long continued railroad strikes, making deliveries difficult; also i)y the seed laws of the different states, with their varying requirements. On the whole, the season just passed has been a most difficult one and, had not the situation been relieved by gen- erally firm values and a brisk demand, the profits would have been meager indeed. By the way. has the entire jobbing trade clearly in mind the fact that our duties on foreign seeds, under the new tariff, are a'nout thirty-three per cent more than in j)revious years, and that almost every item in the cost of doing business is increasing each season, and that bare lofts are the rule and the crop outlook, both in this country and Europe, are not at all encouraging? Inspection of some of the prices made by travelers would indicate that some of the jobbing houses are either forget- ting these tilings or have not noticed them. CATALOGUES RECEIVED. .1. Ilasslach.

Can you give any information in re- gard to Dutch hyacinths, Von Sion and Kmpress daffodil bulbs that were left outside and bloomed in flats, as we had too many for our needs? Would these bulbs be worth saving and lift- ing after they are thoroughly ripened, and planting outside, as we would any bulbs we might import? These bulbs just bloomed and died down as if they were planted in the ground, except that they did not get quite so much mois- ture. C. N. & G. Dutch hyacinths are not of much value a second season, but the Von Sion and Empress narcissi can be plant- ed out in the fall and should bloom quite well next year. Do not dry them off too suddenly, or it will affect the bulbs' development. Of course, after the foliage has gone you can remove the bulbs from the soil and store them in flats in a cool shed or dry cellar. C. W. BOSTON FLORISTS' CLUB. Field Day at Cliftondale.

Away ahead of any of the spring-sown crops, cucumbers were coming' alonjj to replace the peas when they passed, no space being ever idie on this up-to-date establishment. Outdoors also a block of nearly ten acres of sweet corn was advanced and will yield an early crop. Much of this had been started in pots under glass. I-ioth outdoors and under glass every- thing was in most excellent order, weeds and dirt being consjucuous only by their absence. Mr. Sim, not content with growing tlie handsomest of sweet p(>as, has chosen the most attractive spot in his grounds to plant his new dwelling, a charming, up- to-date. 13-rooin structure. The name given to the house is ' ' Ben-Y-Gloe. ' ' The house stands on a southern slope, at the foot of an immense brown stone rock. The surrounding grounds are laid out and planted with fine taste, junipers, spruces and retinosporas being freely used, a hawthorn hedge making a street boundary. Arriving at the house, the large party spread themselves out on the lawns, where, after being photographed, they were treated to an excellent luncheon by ^Ir. Sim, which was thoroughly appre- ciated. Peter ]\I. Miller, acting president of the club, voiced the thanks of the members for generous hospitalities ex- tended. Mr. Parsons, of the Sangers Hoard of Trade, being introduced, spoke of the good Mr. Sim was doing in the community and of his flourishing busi- ness. Other speakers were Michael H. Norton, E. Allan Peirce, M. A. Patten, William NichoLson and Thomas J. Grey. Mr. Sim made a few remarks, thanking all for coming, and said he hoped they would come often, as they would ever be made welcome. Housing cheers were given ^Ir. Sim before leaving, and on the way home many were the remarks heard that the sjjeakers wished they could grow plants in the same way as seen at Cliftondale. Tlie field day j)roved the most enjoyable and was the most largely attendecl the club has yet held. W. N. Craig. BUFFALO. The Market. Cold, rainy weather has prevailed most of the time since Memorial day. A chilly, drizzling rain fell all Sunday and Monday, but business was good, in spite of the weather conditions. Stock was none too plentiful, as the outdoor stock was not abundant. Peonies sold especially well, and the market was cleaned up of almost everything. Car- nations sold on sight, they being the most reasonable of the better flowers. Cheap flowers were much in demand, as is always the case at this time. One of the east side florists reported the sale of 500 2.5-cent bouquets. A class of trade comes at this time from people who never enter a flower store on any other occasion. It is not uncommon to ask for a 10-cent or 15-cent bouquet. The cold weather has been a decided advantage to the greenhouse men, for anj-one who has spring planting and other work can appreciate the position at this time. The weather is the only thing which will delay this work, for if the sun shines everyone wishes the work finished at once, which is impos- sible.

At Hannibal, O., Iluskins Bros, have four houses, each 20xl8U, devoted to (nn-umbers, from which they have had excellent results this season. The ac- companying illustration is reproduced from a snapshot made in one of their walks and shows the croj) they were jacking ten weeks from sowing the seed. While prices have not been espe- cially high this season, they have had so fine "a yield that it has been an excep- tionally good year with them. DISEASED CUCUMBERS. I have been trying in vain to find out what is the matter with my cucum- bers. 1 sowed them February 14 and they grew well until they were about seven or eight inches high; then hnn- dreds of them rotted just on top of the ground and died away. We transplant- ed the ones that remained alive and they all grew like weeds. Not one died until lately, after we had picked them over twice, and they bore a re- markably heavy crop, being as healthy looking plants as one is likely to find. In the evenings they still look well, with not a l>lemish to be seen on them, monced to die qff, it was from a dif- ferent cause than what is affecting them now. They were evidently at- tacked by the fungus that attacks all young plants in the seed beds, when they are not transplanted soon enough and get too thick and large, so that they are crowded in so tightly that the sunlight and air does not get in be- tween them to keep the foliage dry, especially at night. The necessary pre- cautions are: Avoid leaving them in the seed bed a day longer than is nec- essary; do not give them too much wa- ter, tlius keeping the leaves wet, and do not plant the seed too thickly, or they are liable to get the fungous dis- ease, which rots them off just level with the ground. Your plants that are now dying are attacked by the most serious disease which the cucumber grower has to fight. It is called bacterial wilt disease. It is extremely contagious and spreads from one striclcen j)lant to perfectly healthy ones in short order. The dis- ease is a peculiar growth which stops up the tiny water tubes in the stalk of the vine and shuts them up so tightly that no moisture can be carried from the roots up to the leaves, even if the ground is soaked. It can be carried and spread over a house by the growers on their knives, by trim- ming a diseased vine and then going to healthy ones. It is also carried by the insects which chew on the af- fected i)lants and then go to the healthy ones and chew on them a while. There is no way of saving the af- fected plants. They should be pulled out as soon as they show the disease, and carefully gathered up and burned. It usually attacks crops in fall and 7 • *4: 1^1^' V .c;^ 1 ' .' !,J< * 7< • <»-' '. i — ' ■ ■ ' ^ Cucumber House of Hoskins Bros., Hannibal, Ohio but in tiic morning, as soon as the sun is u]i, tin-y turn of the cucumbers have yellow spots, like a leopard. They tiled away as if a jiest had struck them. In two weeks from the time the trouble start- ed, the jtlants in two houses had all died. Our ground is healthy and is full of manure and air-slaked lime. We have treated the jilants with To-bak-ine. Please tell me if anything can be done for them. When we pull out the roots of the dead plants they look just as liealthv as thev possiblv could. M. G.

We are enjoying sunshine and pleas- ant weather, after a week of rain. It rained nearly all of Memorial day, mak- ing it hard for pleasure seekers to get out.

Applied as a light top dressing to lawns it kills flat-leaved weeds, such as Dande= lion, Daisy, Plantain, Sorrel, Chickweed, Moss, etc., in 48 hours, and without other fertilizer produces a wonderful, luxuriant, rich, green growth of lawn grasses, which is distinctly noticeable 50 feet away. The use of Ammoniated Lawn Lime supersedes hand weeding of lawns, putting greens, etc. It saves the grass from being pulled up and in many cases ruined.

Pacific Grove, Cal. — The recent flower festival of the Pacific Grove Museum Association, held in the museum build- ing and grounds, was a great success. Among the principal displays were cut flowers, potted plants and ferns from Thomas Lee, of Del Monte, and over 100 varieties of trees from the nursery of Harry A. Greene, of New Monterey. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. The market has enjoyed another week of excellent business. The de- mand for Decoration day was satisfac- tory, yet not up to former records. The continued warm weather brought the outside flowers out in profusion; there- fore the florists had to depend largely on the out-of town demand, which was satisfactory. There is an immense ter- ritory of sage brush, where flowers are scarcely ever seen and where the peo- ple are dependent on this market for their supply. Carnations are plentiful, especially white ones. Peonies, sweet peas, lilies and roses are in ample supply. The early crop of peonies was stored for Decoration day, with satisfactory re- sults. Koses are also in good supply and demand. With June 1 at hand, there is the usual run of June weddings, and for these lily of the valley bouquets pre- dominate. Various Notes. With the arrival of Eex Oregonius, June 6, the Portland rose show opened its six days of splendor and merry- making, which bid fair to be without a precedent. New features have been introduced. The florists have all the auto decorations that they can handle. Many vehicles are decorated privately. Max Smith's store is suggestive of Easter, as he has a lot of potted Easter lilies, which are a valuable asset and move well. John Jensen, of Byron & Jensen, at Gladstone, Ore., committed suicide last week while in a fit of despondency, by taking cyanide. He was 28 years old and a native of Denmark. The funeral of Postmaster J. C. Young was an occasion to turn out some first-class work, including several suggestive designs from the employees. An injunction restraining the city from interfering with the street fakers has been dissolved and hereafter the fakers will be required to pay a $600 license. This will weed out the unde- sirable competition. Sam Eoake, at Clackamas, Ore., finds growing strawberries is a profitable side line. He is credited with producing the finest berries in this locality. E. R. C. SPOKANE, WASH. Tlie Market. Since Mothers' day and Memorial day, trade has settled back to its nor- mal rate of movement.

It is the unanimous verdict here that we should not allow another Mothers' day to pass without a sys- tematic effort being started in time to have the public correctly informed as to the wearing of colors as well as white, and other flowers as well as the carnation. Naturally, the divine flower will come in for its due share of popu- larity on that day, but not to the ex- clusion of other flowers. Memorial day this year called for nearly all greenhouse products. A warm„ early spring brought out most of the outdoor flowers weeks before, and, of course, greenhouse stock was needed, and it was easily sold at a good figure. Some iris and snowballs ^ere about all the gardcL stock obtainable.

Huckleberry and ferns from the coast cities are used in all kinds of decorative work and fu- neral sprays. The bulk of the plant trade is over; yet there will be occasional calls for hanging baskets and porch boxes all through June. Local commencements in the high schools here do not create such a de- mand for flowers as they formerly did. Flowers are excluded from the stage as presents and only a certain number are allowed to be carried, on the theory that some would bq given quantities of June 9, 1910.

Trade along all lines was quiet until Thursday, when a big change took place and the out-of-town orders be- came much in evidence. From then until Saturday night everyone was busy. Sunday was the hustling day for the retailers and it is hard to say which articles sold the best. Everything moved with a rush. Carnations, sweet peas, roses, gladioli, coreopsis, gaillar- dias, stocks, cornflowers and, in fact, all suitable flowers were eagerly bought. During the two days preceding Me- morial day we were treated to the warmest weather chronicled in San Francisco and vicinity for twenty-five years. This made it doubly difficult to keep flowers after they were exposed for sale, and the quality, for the dame reason, left much to be desired. Sweet peas suffered the most and all of them were more or less withered on the edges. Since that time we have had much cooler weather, but all kinds of stock had been cut so closely that it is now r.ither scarce. The closing of the schools calls for quite a bit of stock of good quality and carnations are worth more at present than they have been in three months. Funeral work fills in nicely and it has been well dis- tributed among the retailers. ,. Much needed remodelings are contem- plated by several retailers and fresh paint and house cleaning will be in order for a few weeks. .Various Notes. '■■■< C.

Appreciating that there would be more ladies present than at previous meetings, arrangements were made for their entertainment during the association's business hours. Wednesday afternoon they were taken on a sightseeing trip through the city, in automobiles, as guests of the Den- ver Convention League and the west- ern nurserymen. Thursday afternoon the same hosts will take the ladies to the matinee at the Broadway theater. But the special entertainment by the western nurserymen is the trip over the celebrated scenic Moffat route to Corona by special train. This is to occupy the entire day of June 9, start- ing at 9 a. m. and reaching Denver again at about 7 p. m. Luncheon is to be served on the train. The general entertainment commit- tee consists of F. A. "Weber, F. H. Stannard, Peter Youngers, J. W. Hill, C. G. Ferguson, A. M. Ferguson and Geo. B. Fravert. The local entertainment committee is A. M. Ferguson, G. B. Fravert, C. R. Root, J. A. Valentine, C. G. Ferguson, Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. Fravert, Mrs. Root, Mrs. Valentine and Miss Fravert. The committee on entertainment of the ladies is C. G.

Kirkpatrick before the Nurserymen's Convention at Denver, June 8, 1910.] By the measure of discount we set upon ourselves, we are generally ac- cepted. The work of the plant breeder, the fruit and tree grower should be valued and esteemed in accord with its nobility of purpose, its essential and indispensable service. Our duty de- mands services burdened with grave responsibility. With all this the nurseryman remains his own worst enemy. The average nurseryman fails in his estimate of cost and of value of his wares. In this failure of estiiihate he loses not alone the price of his wares, but he loses the respect of his fellow man. He lo^es credit among business men, and oft- t\TO?s meets failure in his business and failure in Life. The discreet nurseryman, he who suc- ceeds, must exert himself to the utmost A BLUE ROSE The Greatest Rose Novelty of the Century It flowered with us this sea- son and was greatly admired. The New Rambler (Violet Blue), hailed by the German rose growers as the foreranner of a genuinely cornflower bine rose, is a seedling of Crimson Rambler, very vigorous and hardy, and free blooming.

The Market. Trado here for Decoration dav was heavy, with aV.out enough stock to go the rounds. Carnations wore the lead- ers, as usual, and an enormous quantity was used. ' Eoses were quite plentiful and were about all sold out. Sweet peas sold Mell and were scarcely suffi- cient in quantity to fill all orders. Cape jasmines moved rather slowly, but a good number were used. Some late shipments of these came in as late as June 6. and they all went to the bar- rels. Trade has held up well since Decora- tion day. Tiiough the stock of gera- niums was about cleaned up for Decora- tion day. a good innnber of them have come into liloom since tlien and art; finding a ready sale, as tlie bedding is not nearly finished, on account of the rainy weather. It seems probable that the planting season will run well to the end of June, and that everything in the line of bedding plants will be (deaned \\\). Funeral work has been heavy for the last Aveek or «o and has ke|>t stock used up closely at all times. Carnations are holding their own in good shape and promise to be in good condition for some little time yet. Roses are more ])lentiful, but the quality is not up to tlie top notcii. Quite a num- ber of weddings are booked for the month of June, and business is likely to be livelv in that line. Varioc-s Notes. Walter J. Mai ion. of Asliville. O., is getting things in shape to put up a range of three houses .at Circleville, O. Though he will not be able to get on the land till about September 1, he is getting the material painted and get- ting everything ready to run up the three houses, each 80x100, on short no- tice when he gets possession. He con- templates running them in lettuce the coming winter, and next season putting them in carnati(»ns. etc.. for the local trade. J. M. Peckville, Pa. — Thos. C.

One of the best Decoration day sea- sons on record left us cleaned out of stock, but happy and well satisfied with the business. Stock was scarce, but by foresight and outside buying a fair supply was on hand Sunday and Mon- day. Beauties, roses, carnations, sweet peas and peonies, supplemented .'by irises and gladioli, were the flowers on the market. Prices were good and the demand better. Plants sold at a rapid rate. Everywhere stock was at its best, and for the most part well in bloom. Various Notes. The Minneapolis Floral Co. found it- self out of stock at rioon on Decoration day, and the sales of cemetery plants continued into the next week. Boxwood and bay trees sold .well .at .this, place this year, as the vacancies in the long display along the front of the green- houses bear witness. O. C. Swanson had an excellent bijsi- ness, and is booking orders right and left for wedding decorations and gradu- ation bouquets for the coming week. The Kadisson Flower Shop cannot complain of the business. Transient trade and old customers flock in daily. E. A. Latham had some good stock for ' Decoration day. He is also dis- playing some fine Richmond and Killar- ney, which sell at a rapid rate. Miss Whitted has opened her new store on Tenth street and Nicollet ave- nue, and finds herself located in one of the "niftiest" stores in the northwest, all gotten up in the modern handicraft style, with artistic and attractive fix- tures. The old store, on Fifth street, is still running. M. E. M. Winona, Minn. — Edward Kirchner, proprietor of the West End Greenhouse, with Mrs. Kirchner, is on his way to his old home at Kiel, Germany, for a visit. New Hamburg, N. Y.— W. P. Clyde, for whom Henry Osterhoudt is gardener, has a notable collection of Japanese irises. A short distance from this large bed and close by a magnificent clump of hardy rhododendrons, one looks upon a herbaceous border 600 feet in length, backed by a stone wall about four feet high. In front is a velvety lawn, which is in turn bordered with a large collec- tion of rambler roses. The effect of color is impossible to describe, but is an entire exhibition in itself.

Memorial day business was immense and fully up to that of last year, if not better. Eoses, carnations and peonies, as cut flowers, sold best, while plants of all kinds were in demand. All stocks retailed at reasonable prices. Trade since then has been good. Quite a. number of social affairs, weddings and ■comnjencements give all the florists something to do. Outdoor flowers are scarce, owing to the lateness of the season. Sweet peas are just coming in and from now on will be plentiful. Firing has been necessary later this year than for several years past. The weather is still cool. Various Notes. Julius Niednagel & Sons had a big cut of roses and carnations for Memo- rial day and could have sold many more. They cut over 3,000 carnations of good quality. This firm will build another chrysanthemum house soon. The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. did its usual big business for Memorial day. They cut lots of roses and carna- tions, which sold well. Their stock of plants was complete and seasonable. Henry Seymour said he could have ■done a much larger trade if the flowers had been at hand. Louis Fritsch says business was fine and he could have sold many more plants, especially geraniums. Karl Zeidler had a large stock of plants and had no trouble in disposing of them. He also sold lots of cut flow- ers. Nellie Goodge had all she could do to jsupply the wants of the people for Memorial day. Ben Kramer's wagon was much in evidence. J. C. Elspermann disposed of lots of plants and cut flowers. Dr. Knapp, who has two acres of peonies, consigns most of them to the Chicago market. He expects to plant two more acres to peonies soon. Eoyston & Fenton will get one house planted to roses this week. . They will plant Bride and Maid, not being ready to give up these two roses yet. Their sweet peas are just coming in and give promise of producing heavily. E. L. F. GERANIUMS We are now prepared to offer an exceptionally fine stock of Fancy Leaved Geraniums from 3-inch pots of L'Eleganta, Silver Leaf, S. A.

JOHN IRVINE & SONS, Bay City, Michigan Mention The Review when ygu write. GRAND RAPIDS. The Market. Memorial day was not an ideal day for planting, as it was raw and threat- ened rain. The rain, however, did not come and people turned out in large numbers to decorate the graves. The florists consequently experienced diffi- culty in caring for the rush, which lasted until dark. The preceding week was the busiest in several years, both in retail and wholesale, as the out-of- town demand was strong and steady, and Memorial day itself was all that could be desired, the demand exceed- ing the supply. Contrary to expectations, the peculiar weather conditions — reasonably warm days and very cold nights — resulted in 80 retarding the carnation crop at the start and so hurrying it as the impor- tant day approached, that the cut ex- ceeded all previous forecasts. The sup- ply was most plentiful and the demand cleaned it up closely. At the last mo- ment orders were only partly filled, and some were refused for lack of flowers to fill them. Roses were in good sup- ply, but "were not in it" with carna- tions. Outdoor shrubs and flowers were over, being spoiled by several heavy rains that occurred at night, followed by a sunshiny day. The volume of business was far in excess of last year 's. As for plants, chiefly geraniums, the demand was greater than on any pre- vious occasion. Though more plants were grown, every plant in flower was cleaned out when the day itself ar- rived. In the rush of planting out, fill- ing urns, baskets and porch boxes, and finishing cemetery planting, the florists had to work night and day to get done for Memorial day. The time allowed by the weather conditions for the work is so short that it is almost impossible to get through on time. On account of the cold nights, however, city bed- ding was not as urgent as in former years, and even now a considerable por- tion of it still remains unplanted. If the present cold weather continues much longer, some may even omit their work for this season. Prices were reasonable this time. Car- nations sold for 75 cents per dozen, and some at 50 cents. Roses brought $1 to $1.25 per dozen; sweet peas, 25 cents per dozen; daisies, 25 cents per dozen; lilies, $2.50 per dozen. While the ped- dler wagons sold geraniums at $1 per LOOK!

Boxes were advanced to 60 cents per foot; last year they were 50 cents. A rumor is afloat that there are some boxes being filled at 37% cents per foot; it is to be hoped this is a mistake. The weather continues unfavorablPi being rainy, cloudy and cold. We have not had a half day's sunshine in ten days, and there are no indications of a change. G. F, C. East Palestine, O. — J.

Fletcher had a big wedding decoration June 6, using, among other ttowers, hundreds of double pink peonies. He has another wedding decoration of large proportions later in the week. A. R. Hutson, the genial salesman for W. H. Elliott, had a strenuous time last week, when he disposed of a quarter of a million roses. Even this number he expects will be far eclipsed another season. William E. Doyle's window on Boyls- ton street looked pretty last week with a tasteful arrangement of pink cat- tleyas and sweet peas of the Spencer type, on green velvet. John Barr, of South Natick, is still marketing an extra fine lot of hydran- geas at 2 Park street. Like all plants handled by Mr. Barr, they possess the earmarks of high-class culture. Henry R. Comley, on Park street^ had some handsome vases of scarlet gladioli last week in his always interesting win- dow display. Orchids, Spencer sweet peas, gardenias and about every other choice flower in season was also repre- sented. No better scarlet carnations are now seen than the flowers of Red Prince from Backer & Co., handled by W. F. Aylward. All the other carnations from the same firm are extra fine. Philip L. Carbone always manages to keep his windows attractive, with- out using the masses of material other florists think necessary. A big vase of Smilacina racemosa looked uncommonly pretty last week. Small tables deco- rated' with separate colors of sweet peas also showed excellent taste. The baseball team from the Park street market journeyed to Madbury, N. H., June 4 and enjoyed a first-class game with W. H. Elliott's employees. The visitors were well entertained and thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the Granite State. The beautiful estate of Nathaniel Thayer, of South Lancaster, of which A. P. Mereditii is superintendent, was opened to the public June 2 to 5 and attracted hosts of visitors. The great attraction was the display of 5,000 hybrid rliododendrons. . A happy combination of summer and winter was noted at i' Park street June 3, when the stalwart W. R. Nicholson arrived arrayed in a fur-lined coat and brand new straw hat. James Farquhar's opinion of the so- called disease so prevalent this season among hard%' lilies of all kinds is that it is due to the numerous late spring frosts we have had. These frosts still continue and potatoes and other crops were blackened as late as June 4 in some places. The funeral of Ex-mayor George Hib- bard, June 1, made considerable busi- ness for the leading retailers. There were 450 funeral designs in all, many being elaborate and costly. The executive committee of the Gar- deners' and Florists' Club, after care- ful consideration, has decided to hold the next club picnic at Pine Banke Park, Maiden, July 27. Pine Banks Park was selected as the picnic venue in 1908 and proved satisfactory in nearly every way. William F. Aylward is handling a fine grade of Carnots, Brides, Maids and other roses at C Park street, the product of Mr. Aylward, Sr. Julius H. Zinn, at 2 Park street, is still making a feature of Rose Mrs. Aaron Ward. He has also a fine line of orchids, splendid sweet peas and gladioli, and among other pot plants some nice gnaphalium (edelweiss). Thomas F. Galvin sold more designs, bouquets and loose flowers for Memorial day than ever before in his history, the quantity being enormous. Other retail- ers also report similarly good trade. John Booth succeeds E. O. Orpet in charge of the E. V. R. Thayer estuto. He has been greenhouse foreman ti.ere for some time. Another big orchid show in Bosto jn 1913 is already being discussed. "Viilua- ble lessons learned at the late show will enable the committee in charge to m iko needed changes. It is hoped some olher city will, however, step forward imd get up a similar exhibition between now and the next Boston show. A. E. Thatcher, of the Arnold Aiior- etum, delivered an interesting leilurc on "Trees and Shrubs" before the North Shore Horticultural Society, June 3. E. O. Orpet, for twenty years in charge of the E. V. R. Thayer estate, South Lancaster, Mass., leaves tiiere .luly 1, to assume the superintendency of the estate of Cyrus H. McCorniick, Lake Forest, HI. Mr. Orpet will .Inly 1 have rounded out twenty years of service to the day. He is one of the best known practical gardeners in New England, and has made a special name for himself in the successful hybridization of orchids, many new and unique varieties originating at South Lancaster. His many friends in and around Boston are sorry to lose him, but congratulate him on his new ap- pointment. Killing frosts occurred June 4 in many parts of Massachusetts. Whole fields of potatoes, beans and tomatoes were blackened and great damage done to other tender vegetable and flower crops. Weather continues abnormallv cool for June, but we are getting an abundance of moisture. W. N. Craig. Sold the echeverias ; great doings wiion you advertise in Tlie Review. — Ij. S. Baker, Syracuse.

Thkre is little prospect for the early sett I ment of the labor question in the bitirninou? coal mines of the central west- St HSCRiBERS are invited to write the editor of the Heating Department, de- scribing their troubles or asking any quest ions regarding the heating of green- houses, the piping or boiler-room. But please do not ask Hi^jto, make a choice of apparatus for you. Each boiler adver- tised in The Review is a good boiler, and the advertisers sell them on their merits. A NEW JERSEY RANGE. I have four houses, each 29x95, run- ning east and west. My boiler cellar is at the west end of the second house from the north. What size of main shall 1 use to receive three 4-inch flows from the boiler, or would it be better to run three independent mains? How many 2 inch flows and returns will be needed in each house, to maintain a tempera- ture of 55 degrees in zero weather? C. F. C. As the houses are arranged, it will prolifilily be better to run the mains independently rather than try to unite them into one large main. If there were four mains, so that there would be one for each house, it would be a sim- ple matter to adjust them to the houses, but if three 2%-inch flow pipes are used for each house, the flow of water can he equalized if four flows are taken oflF irom each main and three of them are carried to each house. In addition to the three 2%-inch flow pip<-. twelve 2-inch returns will be re- qui o(j for each house. One flow and twi or three of the returns can be on ^'af' wall and the other returns can be nder the benches. SIZE OF BOILER.

Florist Peter Crowe, Rose Place, Utica, N.

I had my book-keeper compare my coal bill of last with that of this year and I find a saying of one quarter the amount of this year's coal over last year's ; also the past winter was a great deal colder and longer than the winter before. " There is another very good feature about the Damper Regulator, as it keeps a uniform heat in all the houses at all times by putting on and shutting off pipes. And I find that qiy Roses and Ferns did far better this winter than any winter so far, as the temperature was so uniform at all times. " My reason for writing you is to let you know, and also to thank you for bringing my attention to the Regulator, and I assure you I cannot speak too highly of this machine."

"Had it been somewhat larger, it would have main- tained a higher temperature with the quantity of coal named. The tenant 's books would seem to be the best guide to the fairness of the rental. If the tenant can pay the rent and make a satisfactory profit, the rental may be considered equable, it he can not make a satisfactory profit, the rent certainly is too high for him. It is a habit of landlords to charge all the traffic will bear." LOCATION OF BOILER. We intend to move from our present location, so as to have more space. We will enlarge our range of glass and should like to know which is the best way to run our houses. The location is on a corner in a Michigan town, one street running north and south, the other northwest and southeast. Which end would be the best place for the boiler • WET. roomt **• ^- '■ While the direction in which the houses run will not make very much difference, by having them run north and south it will be possible to have the boiler house at the north end of the range. If the houses are to be 200 feet or more in length, they could, if pre- ferred, run east and west, and the boiler house could be north of the middle of the houses. A SHALLOW BOILER PIT. I am about to build two greenhouses, 22x50 each, here in northern Ohio. The ■ ground is level and I cannot get drain- age down more than two feet for the boiler. The houses will run north and south and will be connected to a one- story frame building, running east and west, which I intend to use for a boiler house and potting shed; the size of this building is 20x26. Will you kindly in- form me as to what size and type of boiler would be best suited for my pur- pese, and the best way to pipe the housest The houses will be connected, and I intend to grow carnations and bedding plants chiefly. I wish to use some of the space under the benches and should not like to use very small pipes. The houses will not be higher than ten feet to the ridge. I should prefer to use hot water. S. J. B. Unless a closed system is used, the boiler should be dropped as low as pos- sible, in order to secure a good circu- lation. Care should also be taken to carry the flow, and more particularly the return pipes, as high as possible for the same reason. It will be well to use a 2%-inch flow pipe in each of the houses, with nine 2-inch return pipes, distributed on the walls and under the benches. The boiler should be one that can be set as low as possible, and may be either of the sectional or tubular form. For the two houses a boiler with a rating for 800 square feet of radiation will be desirable. WAPPINOERS FALLS, N. Y. Changes are taking place here.

This firm has plans under consideration for building an entire square of glass, with one range for bedding plants alone. Ground is being broken for a nursery to supply the local demand for hardy stock; about five acres will serve as a starter. Geo. Chadbourn, of the Schaefer Co., invited the writer to look over the new miniature park, just completed, which puts a fine finish to their property fac- ing tlie boulevard. What was formerly a dumping ground has been completely transformed and cannot but add to the value of surrounding property. They have had some elaborate wedding deco- rations of late. The climax came last week, when the wedding of the daugh- ter of a millionaire called for a carte blanche palm decoration. The Yuess Gardens Co. furnished the flowers at the church. Mark Crawshaw disposed of a large stock of bedding plants. George Crawshaw believes in keeping up prices and sees no reason why gera- niums should open up at 75 cents per dozen and advance with the season to $1, while across the river the price is $1 and $1.50. Caldwell & Jesperson are well pleased with the season's business. They do considerable shipping. M. Cornwall, Conn. — John E. Calhoun is erecting an additional greenhouse.

Memorial day business, as a whole, was satisfactory. Any fears that flow- ers would be scaroe proved groundless, as every market gardener was in the flower business this year. Peonies came in just right, bringing $6 per hundred. Candytuft was plentiful, moved well and was a good asset. Sweet peas were cleaned up, bringing from 50 cents to 75 cents per hundred. Carnations were of good quality, owing to the cool spring, and were cleaned up at $6 per hundred. Longiflorums, valley, lilies, orchids. Beauties^ stocks and gladioli were plentiful. The funeral of Congressman Jesse Overstreet occurred the day before Decoration day. This funeral, combined with the Memorial day rush, gave the storemen a good run of work, as there were flowers galore at the funeral. This has not been the most satisfac- tory year for the flower bedding busi- ness. Owing to the cool weather, it will spread out through June. . There has been more cheap competition this year than for some time. Some florists seem to have the idea that they must get rid of their plants, regardless of the price that they get for them. Various Notes. The Pahud Floral Co. has two new M-agons and a new $300 horse. This enterprising young firm has the push and get-up which command success. The Bertermann Bros. Co. had a deco- ration at Peru, Ind., last week. They sent a carload of palms and bay trees by express, to be used in this decora- tion. Harry Balsley, of Detroit, spent a few days in this city last week, visit- ing the trade. Mr, Balsley reports the pot business good. He is also boost- ing the Elke' convention, to be held in Detroit in July. Albert Pittet hit it right with his sweet peas for Decoration day. He cut thousands of them and found ready sale for them. Hartje & Elder had as fine a lot of candytuft and feverfew as could be seen anywhere. They were right just to the minute and were sold out clean the day before Decoration day. Baur & Smith have had great suc- cess with their white carnation, Shasta, this year. Mr. Baur states that it yielded more blooms to the plant than any other carnation that they grew, and that it does not crop, but is a steady bloomer. The bench of Shasta certainly looked all that Mr, Baur claimed for it, as it was one mass of blooms last week, H. L. W. S. JACOBS & SONS 1361-1365 Fiushing Ave., Brooidyn, N. Y.

He gets their price, considers what "he is to get for that price ; pays the price and gets exactly what he pays for. Qets what he pays for, do you mind those words ? He planks down his money with a comfortable sort of satisfactory feeling that his house is the best possible to buy for the money. He knows he has a house backed by a firm who "makes good" — he knows they make good because they have made good for over half a century. There is only one firm who has been in the business half a century. You know that one firm knows its business. So let us repeat : put your greenhouse building up to the firm who knows.

J., February 15, 1910. Begonia "Glory of Cincinnati" ... a grand ac- quisition and distinct from existing varieties; excellent in color, free-flowering, and apparently of good consti- tution. Certificate of Merit awarded. A. Hereinqton, Wm. Duckham, Judges. Harrisburg, Pa., February 9, 1910. It is the most beautiful plant of its kind I have ever seen, surpassing other Begonias of like character com- pletely. I congratulate you on the possession of an extremely interesting and valuable plant, the spread of which over the country will do much to give more people a chance at beautiful flowers. J. Horace McFarlanu. Chicago, 111., February 10, 1910. The three shipments you made to us of your new Begonia * ' Glory of Cincinnati ' ' arrived in fine condition, and were about the finest we had ever seen. The trouble with Begonias formerly was that they did not last long after they reached our customers' hands; but we have received nothing but the very best reports from these three shipments, nearly every one telling us how long they lasted. Fleischman Floral Company. Chicago, 111., January 5, 1910. I think this Begonia is far superior to the various kinds of Begonias in size of the flower and keeping qualities. I think the "Glory of Cincinnati" will be a "glory" to you for years to come. Ernst Wienhoeber. Buffalo, N. Y., February 9, 1910. This plant was subjected to what I would consider very bad conditions. First of all, it was shipped during extremely cold weather, and second, it was cared for in the living-room with natural gas used for heat; but, with all this, I wish to inform you that this plant has kept far better than plants of the Begonia Lorraine which have been under the same conditions. W. J. Palmer. Detroit, Mich., January 4, 1910. It is certainly an improvement over Begonia Lorraine. The plant is still at my home, and its blooms aeem fresh as ever. I congratulate you on having discovered it. Philip Breitmeyer. Cincinnati, Ohio, February 3, 1910. The bloom and lasting qualities of this variety are far superior to those of any Begonia heretofore on the market. a. Sunderbruch Sons' Co. Now ready for distribution.

Next meeting place — Philadelphia. Date Is Too Early. Till- iiiinual exhibition and convention of the American Peony Society was lield in Horticultural hall, Boston, June 14 and 15, in conjunction with the peony show of the Massachusetts Horti- cultural Society. The season has been such an erratic one that setting the dates for the show was no easy task. One postponement was made, but the continued cold and wet weather made even the last dates decided upon much too early for Massachusetts growers. A full week later would have been decid- edlv better. Some of the large growers, like T. C. Thurlow's Sons, West New- bury, had few doubles open, and on all hands flowers showed the effects of the long spell of wet and sunless weather. Given a week of clear weather prior to the exhibition, there would undoubt- edly have been the gra'ndest show of peonies ever seen in America. Taking all things into consideration, the exhi- bition was good, but not what Boston liad hoped to give. Some growers re- ported considerable losses of buds from the late severe spring frosts, some vari- vities losing nearly every flower. The ■ nterest in peonies, judging from the attendance, shows no waning and they rontimie to hold their position secure as the most popular of hardy flowering plants. While less peonies were shown than iiad been anticipated, some of the gaps were worthily filled by splendid displays of other herbaceous plants. The cool, wet weather has suited the bulk of such plants, as the splendid quality of the aquilegias, digitalis, dictamnus, hemero- eallis and other varieties testified. But when Tuesday, the opening day, arrived it brought tropical heat — 90 de- grees in the shade. The Awards.

A. Dessert, Boule de Neige, Due de Well- ington, Cytheree, Formosa Alba and others. Business Session. The business session was lightly at- tended, but the handful of peony en- thusiasts who constitute the society's out the confusion existing in the nom- enclature of the peony and publishing accurate descriptions* by means of which all authentic varieties may be identified. It was known that the task would be a difficult one, but it is only on looking back over the ground cov- ered that one begins to realize how al- most hopeless was the task and how futile would have been the effort were- it not for the singularly fortunate com- bination of men and circumstances with which it has been the society's great good fortune to be favored, the result of which enables me to have the sat- isfaction of announcing to my fellow members of the American Peony Soci- ety here assembled that there is now the most encouraging prospect of a speedy and successful conclusion of the nomenclature work which the society set out eight years ago to accomplish. Most of the members of the society are more or less familiar with the steps which led to the organization of the society. We are indebted to C. W. Ward, who conceived the idea and is- sued the first call, and through whose efforts the cooperation of Cornell Uni- versity was secured and the test plot established. We must acknowledge, too, the ready response of our home growers, whose generous contribution of plants, running into thousands, made the test plot an established fact. To these were added through the efforts Peony Festiva Maxima, Generally Named as Best White. working force, under the leadership of President Farr, put through a consider- able amount of work with thoroughness and dispatch. President's Address. President B. H. Farr presented his annual address, in part as follows: Eight years have passed since the American Peony Society was organized, for the purjwse of trying to straighten of Mr. Ward and Prof. Craig, of Cor- nell, the splendid foreign collections of A. Dessert, Croux & Son, L. Paillet, of France, Goos & Koenemann, of Ger- many, De Graaff Bros., Von Leeuwen & Son, of Holland, and Peter Barr, of London, which have proven to be of the most vital importance. In fact, it is doubtful if without these we could have accomplished much with any de- gree of certainty. The task of preparing and planting the peony plot was done by Cornell University, which from that time on assumed the great burden of the work, and it is doubtful if many members of the society realize the full extent of indebtedness we owe to the university and to those who have had the work directly in charge, especially to Dean L. H. Bailey, who during the last two years has given Prof. Batchelor carte blanche to go ahead and do everything which in his judgment was needed to bring the experiment to a successful is- sue. Also to Prof. John Craig, of the Department of Horticulture, who has taken a deep personal interest in the work, which has been done under his personal supervision. We must not forget that while the work and interests of the Peony Soci- ety are national in their scope, the university is an institution of the state of New York, and, while the Peony Society has made donations toward the cost to some extent, the greater part of the expense of caring for the test plot, publishing the bulletins, photographing, etc., and the men detailed to carry on the studies, have been furnished and paid for by the university. Last, but not least, we realize how much has depended on those at Cornell who have had the actual work to do and whose indefatigable and scholarly efforts have cleared the way to ulti- mate success. To Prof. J. Eliot Coit we are indebted for the check list con- taining all the names of peonies known to exist in commerce, upward of 3,000 in all, together with a most compre- hensive bibliology of the peonj' extend- ing back to the sixth century; also for the first bulletin, containing the his- tory of the peony, classification, culti- vation, etc., and the preliminary de- scriptive list of about fifty varieties. To Prof. Leon D. Batchelor, who has so ably and conscientiously carried on the work from where Prof. Coit left it, we owe the second bulletin, covering the work of the nomenclature commit- tee last year, with a careful description in detail of 290 varieties. Following up the plan adopted last year, Mr. Batchelor has. in cooperation with the special committee appointed for this work, visited other collections where the season is earlier than at Cornell, and so far over 100 new descriptions have been made this season, and it is expected before the season closes at Ithaca a total list of approximately 500 varieties will have been identified and described. It is proposed to publish a fourth bulletin early this fall, covering the work to date. A new planting has been made con taining three plants each of all the varieties so far identified and to these will be added this fall specimens of the additional varieties described, so that when the society again meets at Ithaca the net results of the work accom plished will be condensed and may be seen by all. This meeting should, in my opinion, be held two years hence, which will allow the plants to become well established. It will allow time also for the discussion of descriptions as published and the correction of errors before the publication of the final, official catalogue of the society. This, too, will mark the conclusion for all practical purposes of the test, and the accomplishment so far as this goes of the original object for which the societv was formed. Jima 16. 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review* General View ot tbe Amencan i'eony Society's Last Exbibition m Horticultural Hall, Boston. So far this season the committee has visited and worked among the peonies at Wyomissing, Andorra Nurseries, Cot- tage Gardens Co. and Geo. H. Peterson, Fairlawn, N. J., and it is a significant fact that the descriptions already taken practically cover everything to be found in any of these large collections with but few exceptions, covering al- most completely tho extensive cata- logues of Lemoine and Dessert. "With the conclusion of the test at Cornell, what is to be the future of the society? Shall it consider its work •ompleted and disband, or will it find aew interests to keep it alive? The lahlia, the gladiolus and other flowers have newly-formed societies composed of their devotees, to say nothing of the lid societies in other lines, and it would "^eem that surely a flower as beautiful ■>nd popular as the peony, with a his- ory and pedigree not approached by 'hat of any other flower, should find ibundant support from its enthusiastic idmirers to maintain its organization. The interest in the nomenclature • ommittee was largely a commercial '>ne, arising from the difficulties which "lealers experience in purchasing from *'ach other with any degree of certainty IS to what they would receive. But as 'lealers acquire what stock they desire they will deal with each other less and future sales will depend more on the popularity of the peony with the gen- eral public. New membership to the society will come more and more from fhe amateurs who become interested in the peony and acquire large collections because of their admiration of the flow- er* rather .than from commercial mo- tives. "We should give the amateurs and private growers our warmest wel- come. The peony for Memorial day has be- come almost the national flower, and justly so, for certainly nothing else can so well serve that purpose. But it is unfortunate that in many places there is a tendency to consider that the peony has served its purpose as soon as Memo- rial day has passed. There should be no reason for this, as the varieties which follow later are superior both in beauty and keeping qualities to those which may be best for Memorial day, and it is gratifying to note that in many locali- ties the usefulness of the peony for general decorative purposes is being recognized. In many western cities, particularly, there is a steady demand for blooms which are kept in storage until well into July. The most valu- able varieties after the very early ones are the very late ones, which come in and are in demand after the earlier ones are gone. In narrowing the list of varieties down to the best hundred, much will depend on the point of view. For the florist, fifty varieties would doubtless be ample. For him a variety is of no value if it does not keep well, ship well and have the right shade of color, and it must be fragrant. The landscape gardener will consider chiefly the habit of the plant, its floriferousness and its general effect at a distance planted in masses. The full size and heaviness of many of the finest cut flower varieties render them unfit for this purpose, and both classes would debar entirely, for one reason or another, hundreds of the varieties which would appeal to the amateur. Many amateurs admire the semi-doubles, the loose crown types and other distinct types, so that in select- ing our list of the best hundred the tastes of all classes must be taken into consideration. I must confess that my own taste in the selection of the varieties is largely that of the amateur, since my pfime motive in growing peonies has never been for cut flowers as a specialty. The single peony as a cut flower is not a good seller, but where can there be found among all the doubles anything to compare with such singles as Stan- ley, Jupiter or La Fiancee for large massing of color effect? Their upright habit and lightness of flower enable them to withstand the rain and winds so destructive to the heavier double kinds. There are, it is true, a large number of inferior single varieties which should be promptly eliminated from our list, which is true also of a large number among the other classes. We have previously been cautioned against the tendency to name new seed- lings which are inferior to varieties al- ready in existence. There are so many almost perfect varieties that many be- lieve it almost impossible to make any additions that are genuine improve- ments. The American Peony Society sjiould, and it is to be hoped will, come to be recognized as the authority com- petent to pass on the merits of a new introduction and they should be so con- servative that their certificate of merit granted to a new variety should be- come a guarantee of the value of the new introduction. The splendid collection which will be in existence at Cornell University will furnish the society with unusual facili- ties for judging a new variety. When- ever possible a specimen plant of the new variety should be sent to Cornell in order that it may prove its merits among the older varieties already estab- lished. This cannot always be done while the originator is in possession of only a few plants, which he would not wish to disturb or part with; neither 8 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ .li m: lij, 1910.

The interest in the nomenclature lUimittee was largely a commercial lie, arising fnmi the difli.ulties which •alers experieiue in jinniiasing from a
  • assed. There should be no reason for this, as the varieties which follow later are superior both in beauty and keeping qualities to those which may be best for Memorial day, and it is gratifying to note that in many loeali- ties the usefulness of the peony for general decorative purposes is being recognized. In many western cities, particulariy, there is a steady demand for blooms which are kept in storage until well into .Tuly. The most valu- able varieties after the very early ones ail' the very late ones, which come in and are in demand after the earlier ones are gone. In narrowing the list of varieties down to the best hundred, much will dejiend on the point of view. For the florist, fifty varieties would doubtless be ample. For him a variety is of no \aliu! if it docs not keep well, ship well and liave the right shade of color, and it must be fragrant. The landscape gardener will consider chiefly the h;ibit of the ]>lant, its floriferonsness and its general effect at a distance ])lanted in masses. The full size and heaviness of many of the finest cut flower varieties render them unfit for this ])urpose, and both classes would debar entirely, for one reason or another, hundreds of the varieties which would appeal to the amateur. Many amateurs admire the semi-doubles, the loose crown types and other distinct types, so that in select- ing our list of the best hundred the tastes of all classes must be taken into consideration. I must confess that my own taste in the selection of the \arieties is largely that of the amateur, since my prime motive in growing jieonies has ne\er been for cut (lowers as a s|>ecialty. The single ]ieony as a cut flower is not a good seller, but where can there be found among .all the doubles anything to compare with such singles as Stan ley, .Inpiter or La Fiancee for large massing of color effect? Their upright habit and lightness of flower enable them to withstand the rain and winds so destructive to the heavier double kinds. There are, it is true, a large number of inferior single varieties which should be promptly eliminated from our list, which is true also of a large number among the other classes. We have previously been cautioned against the tendency to name new seed lings which are inferior to varieties al- ready in existence. There are so manv almost perfect varieties that many be lieve it almost impossible to make anv ailditions that are genuine improve- ments. The American Peony Socit>ty should, and it is to be hojted will, come to bo recognized as the authority com potent to pass on the merits of a new introduction and they should be so con- servative that their certificate of merit granted to a new variety should be- come a guarantee of the value of the new introduction. The splendid collect ion which will be in existence at Cornell I'niversity will furnish the society with unusual facili- ties for judging .a new variety. When- ever possible a specimen plant of the new variety should be sent to Cornell in order that it may prove its merits among the older varieties already estab- lished. This cannot always be done while the originator is in possession of only a few plants, which he would not wish to disturb or part with; neither 10 ,/ The Weekly Florists^ Review* JUNB 16, 1010.

Two of the Varieties Originated by the Celebrated French Raiser, Calot. is it possible for him iilways to send flowers to the exhibition, which may be held so far away or at a season when his plants are out of bloom. To overcome this, I offer the sugges- tion that a committee may be appoint- ed in several localities to whom a new variety might be submitted and, if it met with the approval of the sub-com- mittee, they might recommend the variety and have it passed upon by the society as a whole at a later date. This would necessitate some delay in final recognition, which would not bo un- wise, as the merits of a variety cannot always be finally judged until after several years have passed. Mr. Kosenfield has set us a good ex- ample of conservatism in this matter of naming new varieties, for while he has grown seedlings for many years he has introduced comparatively few varieties and I am sure all who have seen his Karl Eosenfield will agree that it is a worthy addition to our list, and that even among the vast number of reds there was room for this one. There is room also for an early red to compare with and bloom with Festiva Maxima, and while the standard estab- lished by the French growers is high, we should not fail to recognize and en- courage any good thing which origi- nates at home. Secretary's Remarks. Secretary A. H. Fewkes read the following paper: The present membership of the soci- ety includes fifty-two active members and five honorary members. During the year we have lost one member by death, Thomas C. Thurlow, of West Newbury, Mass., who passed away July 2, 1909. He was a charter member of the society, taking great interest in all that pertained to it, and was one of the first to make a specialty of the peony in this country. In his death the society has lost a valuable mem- ber, and those of us who were privi- leged to know him intimately have lost an esteemed friend. Since the organ- ization of the society, in 1903, we have lost bv death three members, and by withdrawals and those who have dropped out, twelve. Starting with a mere handful of signers in 1902, the membership had increased to thirty-six during the year of organization, and, notwithstanding losses, has steadily grown to its pres- ent number. It is encouraging to note that at least two of the members who dropped out have this year reinstated themselves, showing that the work ac- complished by the society has a sub- stantial value and that, although they have been a long time in maturing, the fruits of our labors are beginning to be available; and all honor is due to those who have stood by and made it possible to accomplish these results. The way has not been altogether a smooth one, and many obstacles have presented themselves, the most embarrassing of which has been the comparative small- ness of our membership, which has necessarily limited our available funds, both for carrying on the nomenclature work and the payment of prize money to successful exhibitors. The original membership was largely composed of commercial men, and in- cluded the greater part of the large dealers of the country. The number of these latter must necessarily be lim- ited, and it is to the amateur class that we must look for future members and to which the commercial man mu^t look for his most profitable business. The field is a large one, and every member should feel it incumbent upon himself to use what influence he may have with such of these as he may come in con- tact with, to interest them in our work and secure them as members. The cir- culars sent out a short time ago were a move in this direction, and were in- tended to help present the matter to the public. From the inception of our society the interest has centered almost en- tirely upon the herbaceous class of peonies, particularly the albiflora varie- ties. This in itself is not surprising, as this class is by far the most common and easiest of cultivation, but the time must come when more thought will be given to the Moutan class, or tree peonies. In them we find an entirely different range of color, many of them being exquisitely beautiful in shade and texture. Preceding in their time of flowering, as they do, the albiflora class, they widen the peony season ma- terially and add a peculiar charm to the garden. Undoubtedly the great reason for their scarcity is the impres- sion that has gone forth that they are difficult to cultivate. It is true they are slow in coming to perfection and that grafting must be resorted to to perpetuate the varieties, but where love and skill are bestowed upon them these difficulties fade away, and the reward is a ravishing display of beauty that will repay all the time and care given them. Without doubt many will take exception to these statements, but in reply to them I would say that to be convinced that what I have said is true they should visit t"he gardens of Prof. C. S. Sargent, at Brookline, Mass., and see what can be done with the Moutan when its culture is made a spe- cialty, as it has been done there under the management of Charles Sander. The exhibition in connection with the meeting at Queens last June was a fairly good one, and did much credit to the exhibitors, who, though few in numbers, staged a large number of flowers. B. H. Farr, George H. Peter- son, S. G. Harris, T. A. Havemeyer and John Lewis Childs were the exhibitors. Although the exhibition of cut blooms was a good one, the display in the fields proved the greater attraction, for it is seldom that such a magnificent display of flowers is to be seen. They were growing on perfectly level land in one immense block of about seven acres, with rows 500 feet in length, and offer- ing an unusual opportunity for study- ing the individual characteristics of the varieties, as well as the color effects in masses. The visiting members ami friends feel deeply indebted to the Cottage Gardens Co. for the many courtesies shown them during the two days of the meeting, which was marred only bv the unavoidable absence of C.

Ward, our ex-president and head of the Cottage Gardens Co. Nomenclature Committee. Prof. Craig, chairman of the nomen- clature committee, was not able to be present, so Mr. Farr, chairman of the special committee, reported on the work done, as follows: It was realized last year that the season of study was altogether too short for any one locality to carry on the work without extending it over a number of years, and Mr. Jos. Dauphin, of the Cottage Gardens Co., and myself were appointed a special committee to assist Prof. Batchelor, and the season was greatly prolonged by beginning the work at Wyomissing, following it ip at the Cottage Gardens Co., where the meeting was held, and finally at ithaca. The immediate results of this ' ourse are shown in the large number "f varieties added to our list in the lew bulletin. This year the same plan has been fol- 'i)wed. In addition to the work this oason at the nurseries mentioned in 'iiy address, the committee has since isited the collection of E. J. Shayler, 'ipre in Boston, and it is the intention, f possible, to visit other collections in 'he vicinity of Boston before leaving 'or Ithaca, where the work will be con- ' inued until the close of the season ' here. It is expected by the close of the sea- "■on that practically everything will be 'lone in the old plot that it will be pos- '^ible to do. There are still hundreds '>f names existing in the plot which it will never be possible to trace to any •listinct origin, but the vast number of names originally existing there have been reduced to a large degree by the great number of synonyms found, all of which have been noted. As exam- ples of this I might mention Edulis Superba, Dr. Bretonneau, Queen Vic- toria and others, which have been du- plicated under twenty-five or thirty dif- ferent names each, to say nothing of the host of red varieties, most of them of inferior quality, which are to be found. It would seem as if everyone who has a red of any kind calls it Delaehei, or Francois Ortegat, or Louis Van Houtte, so that, strange as it may seem, these, our most common varieties, have been the hardest to determine which is the true variety. And of the many Delacheis it is a question if any of us are positive just which one is the true variety. There is a common pink peony which, among its many other names, passes for Edouard Andre, but the true Edouard Andre is different in every way, being an immense very double flower, very late. These are merely examples of some of the difficulties that the committee has had to contend with. Of the varie- ties left in the original plot it is doubt- ful if there will be many remaining which will be worth giving any further consideration. Doubtless the larger part of these have been unnamed seed- lings sold in mixtures to which names have been given in order to distinguish them where they have been grown in nurseries. It is not expected that no mistakes have been made, but the committee has had unusual facilities in making a wide range of comparison in every case, and we have every reason to believe that in most instances we have reached con- clusions and that the errors existing will be detected and corrected before the final publication is complete. The decision of the committee may not in every way agree with individual opin- ion, but it will at least establish a basis upon which the work for the future may be done, and if it is adopted as a standard eventually it fulfills the ob- ject sought. I wish to again call attention to the splendid services of Mr. Batchelor, and I also wish to make mention of the fortunate selection of Jos. Dauphin, who by his remarkable memory and ability to retain his impression of dis- tinctions in color and form of flowers, and the lo»g years of study he has giveu to this subject, has been able to render us invaluable services. Nomenclature Committee Continued. After a general discussion, in which President Farr spoke for the continua- tion of the work at Ithaca, a motion was adopted continuing the special nomen- clature committee as previously consti- tuted: B. H. Farr, J. Dauphin and Prof. Batchelor. It also was ordered that the society pay the personal ex- penses of the committee while at Ithaca on society work. President Farr spoke of the new bulletin to be issued, to in- clude this season's work in describing varieties. It is to be pulilished jointly by the society and by Cornell Univer- sity, and it was voted to appropriate funds to take care of the society's share of the expense. Prof. Saunders urged the society to encourage the raising of new varieties by offering medals and other awards for seedlings, but this did not meet with approval, a member of the nomencla ture committee remarking that too many were now being raised without encour- agement. Mr. Farr said raisers of seed- lings should seek the society's approval of same before naming or disseminating. On motion of A. H. Fewkes a new committee was authorized, to reconsider the recommendations of new varieties made in 1907. The president named William A. Peterson, Chicago; R. T. Brown, Queens, N.Y., and A. H. Fewkes, Newton Highlands, Mass. On motion, President Farr was added to the com- mittee and made its chairman. Five new members were elected. PhUadelphia Next. After some discussion Philadelphia was selected for the meeting and exhi- bition of 1911, with a more or less definite idea of gathering again at Ithaca in 1912. A committee was ap- pointed to have charge of the Philadel- phia arrangements, consisting of repre- sentatives to be selected by the Andorra Xurseries and H. A. Dreer, with J.

Please give us a little instruction in regard to rooting poinsettia cuttings. Ours all shrivel up and rot just above the sand within two or three days af- ter they are put in. We have no propa- gating house, but have been using small boxes of coarse sand. W. S. G. After taking off the cuttings, dip them in powdered charcoal or fine, dry sand to stop the bleeding. Keep the glass shaded and air only moderately for the first ten or twelve days. The flats will take a watering each day and may need it twice or thrice if very hot. Let them be dry at night. Until the cuttings are rooted, you should maintain a tolerably close atmos- phere, free from drafts and sunshine either of which will soon spoil the cut tings. Treated properly, poinsettias wil root as easily as almost any other cut ting. They should be potted off befort the roots exceed an inch in length. Al most any ordinary greenhouse bench will root them if thev have the needed shade and are not subject to drafts. W. C. If you have not any regular propa- gating house, poinsettia:s will root nicely if you partition off a sash in one of your coldframes and use flats of sand for the cuttings. Put a layer of coarse cinders at the bottoms of the flats; lay over this some moss and then fill with sharp sand. Water well and press firmly before cutting the lines for your PEONY SYNONYlViS. The work of the special nomenclature committee of the American Peony So- ciety, working with L. D. Batchelor, in charge of the test plots at Cornell Uni- versity, has established a number of synonyms beyond peradventure. In the accompanying list some of these well-established synonyms are cited: Mme. Furtado seems very similar, if not identical, with General Bertrand. The opinion of the committee is con- firmed by observations of A. Dessert. Peony M. Jules Elie, to Pinks What Festiva Maxima is to Whites. cuttings. Take the latter before they exceed three inches in length. Those with a heel are to be preferred, as they root the earliest and are less liable to damp off than those cut below a leaf. La Fiancee is being sold by some as albiflora, Japan Single White and albi- flora The Btride. Very similar to La Fiancee, if not identical, is Snowflake. Marie Jacquin can be found masque- rading under the following names: Bridesmaid, Mme. Durufle and Water Lily. It should be known as Marie Jacquin only, as it was originated and published as such four to fourteen years before it appeared under the afore- mentioned synonyms. Sailet is identical with chrysanthemi- flora, which was originated by Guerin in 1842. Sailet seemed to have come suddenly into the trade within recent years. Charles Gosselin in reality is ane- moneflora rubra, and should be known as such. Bridesmaid in reality is a well-estab- lished French variety, Marie Jacquin, originated by Verdier, described and published as such in Bevue Horticole in 1885, and was renamed to Water Lily, Bridesmaid, etc. Water Lily is identical with and should be known only as Marie Jacquin, originated by Verdier, described and published as such in Revue Horticole in 1885. This variety has also been re- named Bridesmaid, as noted before. Jussier is in reality Atrosanguinea. Cyntherii in reality is Mme. Coste, originated by Calot in 1873, more than twenty years before it appeared under the later name. Philomele occasionally appears in the trade under the name of Gretchen. Grandiflora alba laciniata is in reality grandiflora carnea plena, and should be known as such. Mont Blanc is identical with Solfa- tare in many of the collections; there is, however, a true Mont Blanc origi- nated by Lemoine in 1899. Mons. Andre in reality is Comte de Paris. The variety sold as Maiden 's Blush is identical with bicolor, originated by Guerin in 1840. There is no record of any true variety under the name of Maiden's Blush. Mons. Rousselon and Mons. Andre are believed to be the same as Comte de Paris. From correspondence with A. Dessert. Gretchen is in reality the variety Philomele, originated by Calot in 1861. Identical with Edulis superba are Delia, Edulis odorata, Rosa lilacina, Mamie Cutler, Sylvanus, Gloire de JUNK IQ, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review, 13 Douai, Pizano, Early Bose, Acanum, Sainfoin and Lilacina superba. The above so-called varieties are synonyms puie and simple. No record can be found of the origination of any bona fiilo varieties under the aforementioned luiines; they should be stricken from the triule and this variety placed under the proper name, Edulis superba. In addi- tion to the above synonyms this variety has masqueraded under the following names, which in reality are standard varieties, and there should be no con- fusion between them and Edulis su- perba: L'Esperance, Alexandriane, Joanne d'Arc, Eosa plenissima, Duch- ess de Nemours (Guerin), Jules Elie, General Bertrand, Solfatare, Comte de Paris, Triomphe du Nord, Triomphe de 1 'Exposition de Lille, and Fragrans. Although Emma is supposed to have been originated by Mr. Terry in 1905, the plants in the Cornell plots cannot be distinguished from Dr. Bretonneau, originated by Verdier. If the two so- called varieties cannot be identified one from another, they should certainly be known as Dr. Bretonneau, as this va- riety was originated fifty-one years be- fore Emma came to public notice. Hector in reality is Octavie Demay. Superba is identical with rubra su- perba. Lady Leonora Bramwell is identical, without doubt, with Dr. Bretonneau, originated by Verdier, and should be sold under the latter name, as it was described and published in Eevue Horti- cole in 1863, twenty-three years before it began its masquerade as Lady Leo- nora Bramwell. Canista in reality is Dr. Bretonneau, and was described and published as such in Eevue Horticole forty-three years before it appeared as Canista. Augustin d'Hour is often sold as Marechal MacMahon. Marechal Mac- Mahon is identical with Augustin (I'Hour and should be known under the latter name only, Triomphe de 1 'Exposition de Lille has also occurred as Queen of the Pinks. It was named Triomphe de 1 'Exposition de Lille by Calot in 1865, about forty years before its reappearance as Queen of the Pinks. Sarah Bernhardt in reality is Um- bellata rosea. Floral Treasure was sent to the plots under the name of Thorbeckii. Mme. Lebon also occurs in the plots iiiuler the assumed names of General Lawton and Maria. Lemoine proves to be Achille and was <'!iginated as such in 1855 by Calot, iiljout fifty years before its appearance •■'^ Lemoine. Umbellata rosea was renamed b^- mis- '■'ke to Sarah Bernhardt.

    . Ratchelor, in ch;irge of the test jdots .at Cornell Uni- versity, has established a number of synonyms beyond j^eradventure. In the accompanying list some of these well established synonyms are cited: Mine. Furtado seems \ ery similar, if not identical, with General Bertrand. The opinion of the committee is con- firmed bv observations of A. Dessert. Peony M. Jules Elie, to Pinks What Festiva Maxima is to Whites. cuttings. Take the latter before they exceed three inches in length. Those with a heel are to be preferred, as they root the earliest and are less liable to damp off than those cut below a leaf. La Fiancee is being sold by some as albifiora, Japan Single White and albi- flora The Hride. A'ery similar to La P^iancee, if not identical, is Snowflake. Marie Jacquin can be found masque rading under the following names: liridesniaid, .Mme. Duiutle and W.ater Lily. It should be known as Marie Jacquin only, as it was originated and published as such four to fourteen years before it appeared under the afore- mentioned synonyms. Sailet is identical with chrysanthemi flora, which was originated by Guerin in 1842. Sailet seemed to have come suddenly into the trade within recent years. Charles Gosselin in reality is ane moncfiora rubra, and should be known as such. Bridesmaid in reality is a well-estab lished French variety, Marie Jacquin, originated by Verdier, described ami published as such in Kevuo Ilorticole in 188,j, and was renamed to W.ater Lily, Bridesmaid, etc. Water Lily is identical with and should be known only as Marie Jacquin, originated by Verdier, described and published as such in Revue Ilorticole in 1885. This variety has also been re named Bridesmaid, as noted before. Jussier is in reality Atrosanguinea. Cyntherii in reality is Mme. Coste, originated by Calot in 1S73, more than twenty years before it appeared under the later name. I'hilomele occasionally ajipears in the trade under the name of (iretchen. (Iramlifiora alba laciniata is in reality grand iflor.'i carnea plena, and should be known as such. Mont Blanc is identical with Solfa- tare in many of the collections; there is, however, a true Mont Blanc origi- nated by Lemoine in 1899. Mons. .\ndre in reality is Comte dc Paris. The variety sold as Maiden's Blush is identical with bicolor, originated by Guerin in IslD. There is no record of any true \arietv under the name of Maiden's Blush." Mons. Rousselon and Mons. Andre are believed to be the same as Comte de Paris. From correspondence with A. Dessert. Gretchen is in reality the variety Philomele, originated by Calot in 1861. Identical with Edulis superba are Delia, Edulis odorata, Rosa lilacina, Mamie Cutler, Sylvanus, Gloire de ,U;.Ni; 10, 1910.

No record can be iul of the origination of any bona varieties under the aforementioneil lies; they should be stricken from the ic and this variety jilaced under the |irr name, Edulis superba. In addi ■1 to the above synonyms this variety masqueraded under the following ■lies, which in reality are standard ieties, and there should be no con- uiu between them and Edulis su- ba: L'Esperance, Alexandriane, .line d'Arc, Rosa plenissima, Duch- de Nemours (Guerin), Jules Elie, Mcral Bertrand, Solfatare, Comte de 'is, Triomphe du Nord, Triomphe de xposition de Lille, and Fragrans. \lthough Emma is supposed to have n originated by Mr. Terry in 1905, . plants in the Cornell plots cannot distinguished from Dr. Bretonneau, lunnaled by Verdier. If the two so- iled varieties cannot be identified one 'Ml another, they should certainly be iiwn as Dr. Bretonneau, as this va- ty was originated fifty-one years be- rc Emma came to public notice.

Peony Mme. De Verneville, a Fine Early White. NO'±£S ON VARIETIES. In the study of the test plots of the American Peony Society at (Jornell University much interesting matter has come up, especially with regard to the similarity of varieties which it has not been possible to say are identical. Here are some of the notes of the commit- tee: Jeanne d'Arc is similar to Golden Harvest, but is a taller grower and produces a larger bloom than the lat ter variety. There has been great confusion with Avalanche and Albatre, but the latter has a larger, more compact bloom, and is about two days earlier; is a more up- right grower and is more of a rose type, while -Avalanche is a crown. Also the carmine flecks in .Vvalanche are notice- able, while in Albatre they are mere lines on the very edge of the central jietals, hardly noticeable to the casual observer. Very similar, if not identical, with Berlioz is the variety Bertha; however, we are hardly justified at the j)r('sent in saying they are synonyms. Future study will doubtless clear up this point. Some growers have sent Edulis su perlia under the name of General Her trand, but there should be no confusion, as Edulis superba has a large, flat crown with a small collar, while General Ber trand is a typical bdiub. The coj^r of the two is the same, as well as the blooming season. General Bertrand has been sent out as grandiflora rosea, also. This variety has a somewhat larger, more loosely matle bloom. Again, this variety has been confused with Modeste (nierin. The two sorts are similar, but GeiKM'al liertrand is slightly lighter in color and liloonis two or three days later. Felix Crousse blooms more freely than .Vugustin d 'Hour (Marechal Mac- .Mali(iii) .-ind about the same as Victor Hugo. The color is very similar; pos- sibly I'tdix Crousse is a little more bril- liant. Some i^rowers have sent Fulgida to the Coniell plots under the name of Delache. The habit and season of the two are alike, but Fulgida has finer, lighter colored foliage and a looser bltioiii. which shows the stamens much more plainly; and in genera! the bloom is much liglite/ in color, due to the de- cided silvery tips. The color of the iiiids or ])etals before fading is identi- cal. Other varieties which have been confused with Didache are Kd. Auiire and .\trosaiiguinea. The Delache is a much more upright grower, very free bloomer and a superior variety in every way to Ed. Andre or Atrosanguinea. Boule lie Neige is much like J[ons Du- ]iont, but it lacks somewhat the cream tint and blooms tliii'e or four davs 14 The Weekly Florists' Review* Jdnb 16, 1910. Sometimes it takes on more of a bomb shape, with crown nearly lacking. La Fiancee should not be confused with the single white La Fiancee origi. nated by Dessert in 1902. Duchess de Nemours should not be confused with Duchesse de Nemours originated by Guerin, which from the description in the catalogue of its origi- nator is a clear violet, lilac center, and has been greatly confused in this coun- try with Edulis superba. There seems to be some confusion concerning Papaveriflora, as less than half the donations sent for trial were correct. Solfatare has been confused by some with Due de Wellington. Although Mons. Eousselon and Comte de Paris were suppositively originated as two distinct varieties by Guerin, they seem identical as they appear in the trade today. From correspondence with A. Dessert. There seems to be more confusion over Edulis superba than any other, and it has been sent to the Cornell plots un- der twenty-three different names; and in some cases Edulis superba has come under three or four different names from a single nursery. Baron James Eothschild is very simi- lar to Formosa rosea. Some growers are selling a deep pink under the name of Mme. Breon, which is incorrect. A. Dessert described this in 1865, taken from Guerin 's catalogue, as flesh color, white centei;, slightly yel- lowish. Golden Harvest is similar to Jeanne d'Arc as regards bloom. The latter is somewhat larger and is produced on a taller plant. Augustin d'Hour has not quite so compact a bloom as Felix Crousse or Victor Hugo, and is possibly not so free a bloomer. The color of all three of these varieties is similar. Possibly Felix Crousse is a little more brilliant than the other two. ' This variety has a more prominent collar than Victor Hugo or Felix Crousse. Ville de Nancy has been confused by some with Marechal Vaillant, but tlie earlier. From correspondence with A. Dessert. There has been some confusion con- cerning La Fiancee and albiflora, and many growers are selling the former variety under the latter name, but the true primitive albiflora is much inferior to the variety La Fiancee. Albiflora is a lower grower, with smaller bloom, not nearly so free a bloomer as La Fiancee. clined to blight like Edouard Andre, with which it has sometimes been con- fused. Rubra triumphans is a much looser bloom, nearly single, and more of a crimson than Atrosanguinea. Jussieu does not exist as a distinct variety, but is a synonym of Atrosanguinea; the same is true of Atrosanguinea superba. Fulgida has been sent to the plots as Delachei by some growers, but Fulgida Tree Peony Queen Elizabeth. It is, however, really La Fiancee which usually occurs under the name of albi- flora in this country. The bloom of Mme. Geissler is very similar to Mme. Forel; however, it is slightly larger and borne on shorter There is a variety being sold under the name of Aurora, which is a bright pink rose type, the exact identity ot which is unknown at present. There is also a variety originated by Mr. Dessert in 1904 known as Aurore, which should not be confused with Aurora. It does not occur, however, in the Cornell plots Exquisite is similar to albiflora and Japan Single White, but has a more up- right habit. Some growers report Eubens as nearly semi-double on well-established plants, producing blooms somewhat similar in form to Marie Jacquin. Petite Eenee is believed to be similar, if not identical with Hinodesekai. Pallas might safely be expected to de- velop into a full double in years to come. There has been some confusion be- tween Edouard Andre and Delache. This is an inferior variety in every way compared with Delache. Atrosanguinea has been somewhat confused with similar varieties, as it has been sent to the Cornell plots un- der the name of Delachei, Jussier and rubra triumphans. It differs from De- lachei in habit. The latter is a very up- right grower, while Atrosanguinea is spreading. Delachei has a more com- pact bloom and does not show the sta- mens as plainly as Atrosanguinea. De- lachei is also a few days later. Atro- sanguinea is a taller grower and not in- has a very much more silvery reflex, is not nearly so compact in bloom, with visible stamens, and has smaller and lighter green foliage than Delachei, The season is the same and the habit sipilar. The buds of the two varieties before fading are nearly the same color, rosy magenta. Faust has a rather variable bloom. Single Peony The Bride, Pure White* June 16, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review. u two varieties are distinct. The colors are very similar, but Ville de Nancy is ;i somewhat darker shade. Some growers have sent out a single l^eony under the name of rosea, which is false. There has been some confusion in re- j:ard to Albatre and Avalanche, but Ihey are entirely distinct, Albatre being much higher class. Charlemagne is similar to Bernard I'alissy. It may be a few days later in lilooming than the latter variety, and possibly more likely to burst during un- favorable weather for this type of bud, Bernard Palissy fades out more nearly white in the sun than Charlemagne. A. Dessert informed the committee that the variety which was sold by him in 1895 as Sarah Bernhardt is in reality Umbellata rosea. The sort became mixed with a number of unnamed seed- lings and Mr. Dessert fully believed he bad introduced a new variety, until re- cently he discovered his mistake. The result of the investigations of the com- mittee agree perfectly with Mr. Des- sert's statements. Souvenir de Gaspard Calot is some- times confused with Eugene Verdier. Delicatissima is very similar to Floral Treasure; in fact, we must continue our studies further to be able to point defi- nitely to the distinguishing character- istics of each. Mme. Forel has been confused by some persons with Livingstone. The lat- ter is a much superior sort. It is also similar to Mme. Geissler, but is taller and has smaller blooms than the latter. Marie Houillon is very similar to Mme. Forel and Mme. Geissler. Pos- sibly Marie Houillon is a few days later and more upright in habit. The buds on Mme. Lebon are tight and frequently rot off in damp weather, Bernard de Palissy is similar to Charlemagne, possibly a few days earlier, and blanches out more nearly white. There are two varieties under the name of Bunch of Perfume, which are similar in color and form, but one is lacking in fragrance, has a taller plant, is not so compact and is somewhat dark- er than the true Bunch of Perfume. Souvenir d'Auguste and Miellez are said to be identical with Marechal Vail- lant by prominent growers. From cor- respondence with A. Dessert. Eugene Verdier is sometimes con- fused with Souvenir de Gaspard Calot. Rubra superba is known as Eichard- Kon's rubra, Richardson's rubra su- perba and superba (Richardson's). MOTOB DEUVEBY. Automobile delivery is becoming fiuite the proper thing; many first-class retail stores are investing in automo- biles, and find them profitable from two points of view — as advertisements 'md as performing a large amount of ■work at moderate cost. The accompanying illustration is from a photograph of the new delivery car of B. Schroeter, Detroit. The body ^vas built according to special orders by Schroeter. The chassis is one of the light delivery trucks now being built by Buick Motor Co., of Flint, Mich, The vehicle has a carrying capacity of 1,000 pounds. The motor has twenty- eight horse-power, a two-cylinder, dou- ble opposed engine being used. The car will run twenty-five to thirty miles per hour. The capacity of the body is New Delivery Motor Car of B. Schroeter, Detroit, sufficient for three dozen palms in 8- inch pots. The body is forty -two and one-half inches wide inside, six feet three inches long back of the seat, and five feet three inches high in the cen- ter. In the rear doors forty-nine inches clearance is obtained. Besides the rear doors there is a double door back of the chauffeur, providing for an opening 24x27 inches. A small door for ventilation is located in the panel over the rear door. The car is electric lighted throughout, even to a dome light inside. The color is deep wine, with moldings in black, lettering and striping in gold. BOSTON. The Market. The consensus of opinion is that busi- ness last week was poor. This is noth- ing unusual after Memorial day, but the unprecedentedly wet weather, day after day of steady rain or drizzle, had a demoralizing effect on the market, and about all flowers have suffered sharp declines. We are at last getting somewhat clearer weather, and we hope it may remain settled, as people will not come out and buy flowers when sunshine is lacking. Roses have had a hard time of it, and clearances are only made at absurdly low prices. Carnot, Killarney and White Killarney are selling the best, but even of these there are far too many for the market's needs. Carnations are also away down, and demand for them was poor all last week. Sweet peas are coming good in quality, particularly the Spencers, and are selling as well as anything. Lily of the valley also sells tolerably well. Peonies are not yet in heavy supply. The wet weather ruined many, spotting the flowers. It will be the end of the present week before they become abun- dant. Prices vary from $4 to $8 per hundred. Gladioli, such as America, are now abundant and i)opular for win- dow decorations. Asters, indoor grown, are already being received. Stocks in several colors are abundant, but these do not meet with a good sale. There are plenty of lilies, and callas are still of fine quality. Gardenias are over- abundant, and there is a full supply of orchids. Demand for asparagus and adiantum has been fairly good. Bedding plant trade has dragged along slowly, owing to the unfavorable weather, but the bulk of growers are well satisfied with sales up to date. Various Notes. Lewis E. Small, of Tewksbury, and Walter Holden, the well-known Park Street Markot salesman, are spending ten days in the northeastern part of Maine on a fishing trip. Mr. Stearns acts as salesman during Mr. Holden 's absence. Julius H. Zinn had some fine Queen of the Earlies asters in his window last week. They were grown by J. H. Leach & Son, of North Easton. Thomas A. Cox, of Dorchester, has had a fine lot of peonies at his stand, 2 Park street. He also has a splendid crop of outdoor Jacqueminot roses just coming in. S. J. Goddard sailed from New York June 15, on the White Star liner Baltic, for Southampton. W. C. Ward, of Quincy, is one of the first to bring in extra fine quality out- door grown sweet peas. Arthur Griffin, late head gardener to E. T. Gerry, Newport, R. I., and a first- class grower of plants and cut flowers, has purchased twelve acres of land at Wobum, Mass., and will grow cut flow- ers for the Boston market. If Mr. Griffin's productions in a commercial way equal in quality those grown while at Commodore Gerry's, he will speedily make a name for himself around the Hub. Mr. Nelson, of the firm of Nelson & Johnson, of South Framinghara and South Sudbury, Mass., sailed on the steamship Ivernia, from Boston, June 7, on a visit to Denmark. J. T. Butterworth, of South Fram- ingham, was a visitor in New York last week, visiting the orchid specialists there. 14 The Weekly Florists^ Review. June 1G, 1910. earlier. From correspondence witli A.

We are at last getting somewhat clearer weather, and we hojie it may remain settled, as people will not come out and buy flowers when sunshine is lacking. Roses have had a hard time of it. and clearances are only made at absurdly low prices. Carnot. Kiliarney and White Killarney are selling the best, but even of these there are far too many for the market's needs. Carnations are also away down, and deinand for them was poor nil last week. Sweet peas are coming good iii quality, particularly the Spencers, and are selling as well as anything. Ijily of the valley also sells tolerably well. Peonies are not yet in heavy supply. The wet weather ruined many, spotting the flowers. It will be the end of the present week before they become abun- dant. Prices vary from $4 to $S per hundred. Gladioli, such as America, are now abundant and popular for win- dow decorations. Asters, indoor gi'iiwn, are already being received. Stocks in several colors are abundant, but these do not meet with a good sjilc Tliere arc jilenty of lilies, aiill satisfied with sales up to date. Various Notes. Lewis E.

A 11/^ -inch pipe filled with running water passes through a 2-inch pipe; the space between the smaller and larger pipe contains the ammonia. From the condenser the ammonia passes into the coils, where the additional pump space allows it to expand. In so doing heat is absorbed. The ammonia passes from the coils by a return pipe back to the compressor. Samuel S.

The accompanying illustrations show the cold storage system and cooling- room of the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia. The first picture shows the compressor, the condenser and the coils of pipe used for conveying the am- monia to the cold storage room shown in the second illustration. There are also two other cold storage rooms, one a freezer for ferns, galax, etc., on the lower floor with the machinery, the other a duplicate of this cold storage room which is placed by its side on the first floor. The theory of this ammonia system is not understood by florists generally, who believe that the ammonia coils give out cold air, so cooling the temperature of the room. This is not the case. The ammonia pipes absorb heat, thus re- ducing the temperature of the room.

The cashier of a bank in North Da- kota is inquiring of Secretary Esler whether the Florists' Hail Association will write a line on thirty acres of po- tatoes. Louis Wittbold, secretary of the George Wittbold Co., Chicago, says he has proven to his complete satisfaction that the cheapest way to sell plants to the trade is on mail orders procured by advertising. The guarantors for the second Na- tional Flower Show will within a few days be called on to pay the first twenty per cent of the amounts subscribed. Thus far the committee has carried the work without funds. In line with the policy of many ad- vertisers to concentrate their advertising in the publication giving best results, double-page spreads are becoming quite the fashion. The Eeview has published five of these impressive ads in the last five issues.

The time fixed by the by-laws for the annual change of officers of the American Rose Society is July 1, but in practice it has been found advisable to make the formal change during the annual convention of the Society of American Florists. This year this will be held in Rochester, at which time a regular meeting of the American Rose Society will be held. We at that time desire to start a list of special prizes for the coming great National Show at Boston. Every special prize has been dis- tributed. The man who carried off the largest number of prizes at the New York show, held in the American Museum of Natural History, was H. C. Steinhoff, of West Hoboken, N. J. He took Mayor Breitmeyer's prize. The Dorrance prize has been won only three times in ten years; first by Robert Simpson, of Clifton, N. J.; second by Poehlmann Bros.

B. Dorner, Sec'y. June 9, 1910. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. Last week opened with everything in an extremely satisfactory condition, but by the middle of the week stock was being received so heavily that average prices went down all along the line. It is noticeable in June that the better class of buying is early in the week. This is accounted for by the fact that most of the weddings and school functions occur too early in the week to help the market on Wednes- days and Thursdays. By Friday there comes buying for the cheap sales of Saturday, which suffiCo;S to clean up stock, though at extremely low prices. Last week the market was almost stagnant on Wednesday and Thursday, but active on Friday, and a fair clear- ance was made Saturday at prices the lowest of the year to date. It was, in fact, impossible to make prices low enough to dispose of all the carnations. Too many were of poor quality; such poor quality, indeed, that even the cheapest of the cheap street salesmen would not handle them, insisting on having stock of fair quality at their cheap prices. The current week opened with a lighter run of business than Monday has brought in recent weeks. Tuesday found the market also weaker than on preceding Tuesdays, largely because tl;c better class of schools have now closed, and the middle of the week finds the market in a depressed state. The inter- mittent spring apparently has at la?t given place to settled summer. The heat has made a great increase in su} ■ plies, and the market is in a worse glutted condition than has been tli? case at any time in 1910. But ther^ are a great many mitigating circum- stances. From the wholesaler's point of view, things are not so bad. In tli** first place, there continues to be ^ quite fair call for the selected graded of stock; a call from people who will pay fair prices for good flowers. The less critical buyers are taking larj^e quantities at cheap prices, and the flower stand and special sales peoph'- being able to buy the balance at about whatever they choose to offer, are doin^ a big business. The result is a better total for the wholesaler than his booU^^ showed in the middle of June last year. Reference to last year's records also JUNE 16, 1910.

The middle of June finds this market with a supply of elegant flowers. Never have the decorators for June weddings had finer stock with which to work. Boses are as good as at any time during the whole year. There are exception- ally fine sweet peas, Spanish iris, val- ley, lilies and peonies, and everything seems to move out nicely except carna- tions, which have been a glut all the week. The retailers are not overcrowded with trade, except where they have wedding decorations, as the general business in cut flowers has been affect- ed somewhat by the weather, but, all taken together, one can report trade fair. Various Notes. The Florists' Club met Tuesday night, June 7, at the Fort Pitt hotel, but the attendance was away below the average. Peonies were under discus- sion. J. W. Elliott sent in an exhibit of peonies and an invitation to the members to visit his nursery at Ches- wick, to see his collection, which is one of the finest in the country. ■ A. W. Smith says his trade is holding out almost as well as before Decoration day. People seem to be planting much later than usual. Eandolph & McClements report the largest planting season in their experi- ence, but many planted too soon and have had to replant a lot of the tender stock. John Bader and B. L. Elliott left Friday night, June 10, for Detroit, to participate in the "Scott tournament." which takes place in that city. Mr. Bader will probably remain for a week or two at Mount Clemens. Fred Burki left Friday for Mount Clemens, to remain for some time, hoping to get rid of a case of rheuma- tism which has troubled him for some weeks. W. Q. Potter, of the McCallum Co., is the happy father of a bouncing 12- pound boy. Wm. Q. Potter, Jr., is the title of the youngest florist in the city. John Madden, for several years with H. L. Blind & Bros., left last Friday for Los Angeles, Cal., where he expects to take up another line of trade. The McRae-Jenkinson Co., of New Kensington, Pa., was the victim of a fire last week, which completely gutted the store. The firm opened Saturday in a new location. Married, June 9, John McClements and Lillian Pearl Dunkle. Mr. Mc- Clements is bookkeeper for Randolph & McClements. Ray Page, bookkeeper for the Pitts- burg Cut Flower Co., has been confined to his home for some time with a bad case of quinsy. The backward season has greatly hindered the planting in the parks. Foreman John Jones says they have not put out anything tender up to this time, and those who have are sorry for it, as coleus and crotons and such stock which have been planted have dropped their leaves. The finest thing of its kind seen at Schenley park this season is the Tau- sendschon rose, ' a pink cluster rose which has several shades in the same cluster; it has a climbing habit. This is a fine thing for forcing for Easter. Your Trade Calls for the Nicest, Cleanest Stock Obtainable. Choice Stock Nothing less will do for Weddings and Commencements- and right here are the finest roses we ever have seen in June. Following are some of our leaders : BEAUTIES Best on the market. We have a range of Beauties grown specially for. a cut in June and later. These have much better substance, color, stem and foliage than from plaiite that were cut from all winter. Try them; they're good. ROSES Grown on Grafted Stock. Our Killarney, Maryland, Kaiserin, Field, Jardine, White Killarney, Richmond, Maids and Brides are all grafted stock. Much better size and substance than own-root stock at this season. CARNATIONS Non.b.t<«r. We grow the fancy sorts, like AriHtocrat, Victory, Winsor, White Perfection, Enchantress, etc., and will not take a hack seat for anybody on quality. They can't be beat. SWEET PEAS Fancy Butterfly. Fancy stock in best selling colors. Enchantress-pink, lavender, white, pink and blue, or violet shade. Yoii will say these Peas are all right. The blue is an ideal pea that takes the place of violets and gives l)etter satisfaction. PEONIES, VALLEY, HARRISII, PANSIES and Ail Other Stock in Season. Sprengeri and Asparagus Bunciies, iiglit and dark green. Ferns and aii otiier greens. You can order of Us with every certainty that yon are calling on as good a source of supply as there is in Chicago. J.A.BUDLeNG 37-39 Randolph Street, CHICAGO. Bo8(i8 and Gi» mations A Specialty.

I. Neff east end store, died Sunday morning, June 12, of pneumonia, after two days' illness. Mr. Eisner was in his usual health Wednesday, and whis- tled a few selections from several of the operas for the entertainment of the writer. Death was the last thing he would have thought of at this time, and it was quite a shock to his friends to learn of his sudden death.

As was to have been expected, last week showed a decided falling off i" business, none but the growers ami landscape men being busy. The former are making necessary repairs and pre- paring for the rebenching season, and the latter are completing the large amount of spring work they have had on hand. Funeral work is about all that has kept the retailers from being idle, but the closing of schools during the next two weeks will somewhat ac- celerate business in bouquets and bas- kets. Prices are on a par with those that usually prevail at this season in this vicinity. JUNE 16, 1910.

Me'^tlon The Review when you write. PHILADELPHIA. The Bising Eastern Market. The quality of the flowers coming into town at present is unusually good for the middle of June. This has stimu- lated the demand and maintained prices better than usual. The long-continued cloudy weather and the cool nights have put fresh life into the hard-worked stock. There is no mistaking the wane of the season, for despite excellent ship- ping orders and some local demand, business is duller than a week ago. Carnations are particularly fine for the season. Winsor is the leading pink. White Perfection and Lady Bountiful are in fine form, while there are a few good Ethel Crocker, forerunner of the warmer weather. Roses are excellent. Red and white seem most in demaiid, probably because the stock of the pink is so large and the call for this color is not so much quickened by bridal festivities and com- mencements as is the sale for the others. Valley and sweet peas are the flowers most sought and the supply at times is insufficient. In sweet peas this is due solely to the dark days and the rain. The quality of the outdoor stock is finer than ever seen here before. Cattleyas have shortened; Mossia) has given place almost entirely to Gaskelliana. Garde- nias are doing a little better. The qual- ity in snapdragons is absent. Easter lilies are in moderate demand, while there are still a few callas. Peonies are coming in from north, and east, and from the mountains. The price is lower. Feverfew, candytuft and double petu- nias evidence that summer flowers are here. There is a moderate demand for fine green. The June novelty is Golden Glow chrysanthemum. This wonderfully adaptable variety is in form equal to autumn. The June Meeting. The June meeting of the German- town Horticultural Society demonstrat- ed the soundness of President Hyle's idea that the time for an exhibition is when people have flowers. The com- petition in the outdoor rose class was large and spirited, the quality of the blooms being unusually fine. The attendance was considered by the faithful as the best in the history of the society — that is, for a regular meet- ing. This was the more noteworthy because some of the most loyal wore absent from a curious cause. Dr. 15er- gen's valuable paper on "Water Lilies in a Small Yard" was sent to all the members at no small cost; instead, therefore, of the usual notices, a slip was inserted in the pamphlet, giving the changed date of the June meeting. This slip was overlooked by some of the society's stanchest friends. The essayist of the evening, Profe^-sor Stewardson Brown, gave a scholarly talk on the history of the rose, while the society's botanist answered ' ul- tural questions from the members. The medical profession won in ihe election that followed for two vice- presidents, Dr. Willetts and Dr. 1 Ber- gen emerging as the winners in a c'ose contest. Among the roses exhibited was a hybrid tea, rose-pink in color, that 'las been grown around Germantown fo" a quarter of a century, and which dC'cd the experts to identify it; they co ild only say that it "was on the or ier of — " but then disagreed. An immense magnolia was a feature of the exhibition table. The Andorra Nurseries. The picturesque Andorra Nurserit^?. situated at the end of the Wissahickon drive, are looking their best this mon'h.

The stock was in fine condition and looked as though winter had dealt ten- (ierly with trees and shrubs. There was an 'air of progress about the place. The system of roadways now covers iniles of ground, winding over the hill- side and -through all parts of the nurs- eries. A vista northward, in the direction of Erdenheim, is one of the show places. There are many places of interest to the initiated, such as the wonderful col- lection of some of the finest specimens to be found in any nursery today; the ■ystem of culture, aimed for quality, quality, quality; trees and shrubs that *ill do credit to the Andorra Nurseries when far away.

Dreer, is inspecting seed crops in California. John Westcott was elected chairman of the transportation committee charged with the duty of getting Philadelphia's delegates to Bochester as economically as may be consistent with the greatest comfort. Eobert A. Craig and Duncan Macaw spent three splendid days among the growers of Long Island and northern New Jersey. They visited seven or eight places, including W. R. Darling- ton, Pankok & Schumacher, Louis Dupuy, Bobbink & Atkins, and Julius Roehrs Co. They were much pleased with their cordial welcome and the fine stock seen, and there was much pleas- ant raillery between the bachelor and benedict as to which one had prevented the other from tripping on Broadway, a pretty sure sign that they steered a straight course and are good comrades. Edward C. Dungan, formerly with William Henry Maule, and now presi- dent of the Noll Seed Co., Newark, N. J., was married to Miss Perry June 15. Morris Hoffman, with Alfred M. Campbell, is much pleased with the stal- wart appearance of his first assistant. Theodore Edwards, of Bridgeton, N. J., and Mrs. Edwards were in town June 13. Jacob Becker has commenced on the boiler pit for his proposed range of four greenhouses at Fifty-second and Lud- low streets. This is on Mr. Becker's property at the rear of the store occu- pied by W. W. Crawford. The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving out- door sweet peas of extraordinary qual- ity? grown by Messrs. Rohrer, Girvin and Denlinger, the former of Strasburg, the other two of Lancaster, Pa. E. P. Hostetter, of Manheim, Pa., is sending Ethel Crocker carnations of old- time quality to Edward Reid. Myers & Samtman, Wyndmoor, Pa., have begun replanting their houses with fine stock of young Beauties. At least one house will be devoted to their new deep pink sport from My Maryland which the firm expects to send out next season. Alphonse Pericat's orchids exhibited at the Florists' Club's June meeting were much admired. 28 The Weekly Florists^ Review. June 16, 1910.

NEW YOEK. The Market. Last week's business in cut flowers was far from satisfactory to the whole- salers, and prices are, sooner than an- ticipated, down to the summer level. American Beauties are firm at top fig- ures for the few perfect ones arriving. There is an abundance of mediocre stock, not only of this variety, but of roses generally. No carnations sell above 2 cents, and the clean-ups the last of the week were made at $5 per thousand, with roses in large lots at similar concessions. In some of the de- partment stores roses, carnations and even orchids were sold at the quoted wholesale prices, purchases being made in quantity at the buyer's price. Phila- delphia is sending a lot of stock here every day, and the latest rumor is that one of the largest wholesale cut flower houses of that city is to have a branch in New York. Nothing slow about this, and the invasion is called a certainty by those who know. In fact, the new store of Bussin & Hanfling's, next to P. J. Smith's, on West Twenty-eighth street, it is said, will house the venture, though this is not definitely decided. The shipments of peonies are now decreasing. Prices were off badly last week, when the market was glutted with them.

The final meeting of the season, June 13, brought a full house and proved one of the best of the year. The exhib- its were excellent, if not numerous. The caterer did himself honor and the splen- didly illustrated lecture on Hayti by Prof. G. V. Nash held the delighted at- tention of the audience until after 11 o'clock, following which the old guard celebrated until cockcrow. The exhibits in competition for the Hitchings cup were a vase of Gardenia Veitchii from A. J. Manda, scoring twenty-five points; Compacta, Irene, Falconer, Fantastic, Little Blush and Dr. Hogg gladioli from John Lewis Childs, receiving a vote of thanks, and a magnificent showing of cut prchids from Harry Turner, of Castle Gould, scoring eighty-five points. W. H. Siebrecht, Jr., gave details ot his meeting in company with Anton Schultheis, H. C. Steinhoflf and Alex. H. Donaldson with the "powers that be'" in reference to the proposed market at Fifty-ninth street, and announced a pub lie hearing as set for Monday, June 20. at 2 p. m., in the aldermanic chamber of the City hall, which all growers and florists interested are strongly urged to attend. The room has seats for 100 and should be crowded, the passing of a resolution assuring the market being now almost a certainty and only de- pending on the enthusiasm manifested by its advocates at this final consultation. F. H. Traendly gave his committee's report on transportation to Rochester, recommending the Lehigh Valley route. June 16, 1910.

The statement of one of the whole- salers, that it might be worse or might be better, expresses to a nicety the condition of the market during the last week. Plenty of flowers were sold, but the prices were scarcely normal; in fact, some were very low. In general, there is more than enough stock to fill orders. Roses and carnations are overabun- dant. Outdoor sweet peas and coreop- sis are ncav arriving at the wholesale houses. I^arrisii, a few callas and lily of the valley are seen. This week will probably aee the last of the fresh cut peonies. Orchids can also be ' had. Sufficient eastern and southern ferns are coming to this market to meet all requests. The other stock of decorative greens is as a whole enough for all re- quirements. Various Notes. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Florists' Society was held at the club rooms of the society Monday even- ing, June 13. A motion was passed to appoint a committee of five to arrange for an outing. This committee consists of Max Rudolph, Gus Adrian, C. E. Critchell, William Murphy and Frank Deller. Frank Deller proposed the napies of Frank A. Volz and John Rutenschroer, and Albert Sunderbruch proposed the names of Charles H. Hoflf- meister and Otto H. Hoflfmeister for membershij).

Except of one or two varieties, the Long Island cabbage seed growers expect a fair yield, but they feel assured of a much better demand.

We can make this unparalleled guarantee because of the extreme care we have always used in growing our stock, and never have the trouble that some dealers complain of about their stock not proving true, because we never ship a peony plant that has not already bloomed on our place. Any peony is much surer to bloom, and will be twenty per cent stronger, if moved in September, so that .new rootlets may form before freezing down. This gives a great advantage to home-grown stock over imported plants, which invariably come too late.

Referring to the item which recently appeared in The Review, C. J. Speel- man & Sons, Sassenheim, Holland, state that they have been appointed sole agent for the dissemination of this va- riety by P. Vos Mz. As instancing the earliness of this variety, they say that Mr. Vos sold to C. de Jong, of Loos- diunen, near The Hague, a number of bulbs of Pink Beauty, which the latter planted last November, together with other long-stocked gladioli. In the early part of February they were brought into a forcing temperature. The first blooms were cut May 5. The other varieties under the same treat- ment did not bloom before June 5. Mr. Vos loaned to Vranen & Van Delft, of Rynsburg, 1,000 bulbs of Pink Beauty, which were planted November 12 and which flowered May 28. Speel- man & Sons say these two experiments, in conjunction with those conducted with other varieties, prove the new sort to be the earliest blooming of all long-stocked gladioli of which there is knowledge in Holland.

Vegetable Forcmg. CUCUMBEES DO NOT MATUEE. We have one house planted with cu- cumbers. The vines are full of blooms and little cukes, but the cukes turn yel- low and drop off. Can you tell me what is the cause of this? Do they need shading on the glass? Z. & G. It is highly probable that this grower has no bees in his cucumber house. Many growers depend upon bees com- ing in from outside, but this is poor policy. The bees will not come into a cucumber house if they can get plenty of blooms of other kinds to work on outside, and on rainy days they do not come in at all, so it is necessary to have a swarm in each house for best results. If the pollen is not transferred from the male to the female blooms, the young cukes will not mature, but turn yellow or brown and fall off. The male blooms are open only one day, then dry up and fall off, but the female blooms will stay open about three days, await- ing pollen; then, if none is transferred to them, the little cucumbers which are already formed must dry up and not mature. If these female or fruit-bear- ing blooms are pollinated the first day they are open, they close up soon afterward. The tiny pickle will sometimes turn brown and fall off from other causes, either from injury by being allowed to get extremely cold, or by injury from some kinds of fumigation being too strong, etc., but these cases are rare. If no bees are kept *in the house, the grower need look no farther for his trouble. H. G. ST. LOUIS. The Market. From the reports of most of the re- tailers, and from the way stock sold at all of the wholesale houses, trade must have been good all of last week. There were a great many weddings in all parts of the city and much work for school commencements. The weath- er seems to have steadied down at last, with good, warm, clear days. The sup- ply at the wholesale houses was fairly good all last week, with plenty of roses at reasonable prices, long Beauties bringing not over $3 per dozen. Car- nations also were plentiful, with extra fancy up to $3, but the bulk of the stock brought $2, and common $1 to $1.50 per hundred. Sweet peas sold better, and the market cleaned up daily. Valley and gladioli also had a good call. In greens the market had everything. Florists' Club Meeting. The twenty-third anniversary meet- ing of the Florists' Club, held Thurs- day afternoon, June 9, was a great suc- cess, there being fifty members present. This was the largest attendance the club has had this year. The trustees reported through Chair- man Bentzen that they had secured Romona park, in St. Louis county, for the club's annual picnic and that they had decided on Thursday, July 21. This was accepted by the members and $50 was donated by the club. C. De Wever reported for the bulletin committee, which was ordered to make a full re- port at the next meeting. The Big Four railroad sent in a communication regarding rates to Rochester for the S. A. F. convention. J. J. Beneke was named as a committee of one to look up the matter and report at the July meeting. H. A. Eirick, of Webster Groves, made application for member- ship. The treasurer's report showed a big balance to the club's credit. For the good of the club the trustees had several boxes of cigars and an extra one donated by Harry Balsley, who was present in company with S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia. President Windier asked the secretary to read an essay on "Brotherly Love Among the Florists," which was written by Fritz Blumenschnider, which caused a great deal of merriment. The question box was well stocked.

The Eetail Florists' Association held an important meeting Monday, June 6, in the K. of C. hall, with eighteen mem- bers present and C. C. Sanders in the chair. Further discussion will take place at the next meeting in the same hall, June 20, at 8 o'clock. The members of the Ladies ' Home Circle spent a pleasant day and night at Chautauqua, 111. They left the Union station Wednesday evening, June 8, and returned Thursday evening. Dur- ing the day a meeting was held in the Meinhardt cottage, where S. A. F. mat- ters were discussed and Mrs. F. H. Meinhardt read a paper on "Wild Flowers." The rest of the day was spent exploring the hills. The party consisted of Mesdames Weber, Steidle, Koenig, Miller, Meinhardt, Berning, Beneke, Schitzle and the Misses Mein- hardt and Weber. The next meeting of the circle will be held at the home of Mrs. John Steidle the first week in July. At the Florists' Club meeting W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, showed a fine lot of cut sweet peas, all new varieties grown by him. Mr. Pilcher has had a great success with sweet peas this sea- son. A. S. Halstead, head of the St. Clair Floral Co., Belleville, exhibited at the club meeting a lot of fine blooms from seedlings from Queen of the West gera- nium. L. P.

This week's obituary eohiinn contains a report of tlie death of John Maxwell, a nurseryman of Napa, Cal. Portland, Ore.— W. S. Sibson, of the Sibson Kose Nurseries, acted as one of the judges at the Portland Rose Soci- ety's annual show, which opened on Monday, June (i, and continued for six days. Mr. Sibson made the awards during the two-day exhibition at the Exposition building, on Tuesday and Wednesday. Portland, Ore. — June 6 to 11 was rose week and the annual exhibition, the parade of flower-decorated automobiles and other events calling the rose into prominence were great successes. At the exhibition at the Armory a class was provided for nurserymen. Clarke Bros, won the first premium of $100 for best general exhibit of roses and shrub- bery; Swiss rioral Co. second, and the Bay Tree Nursery third. Portland, Ore. — George Spencer, of the Martin & Forbes Co., recently re- turned from a trip to Australia, on which he found much of interest. At Melbourne he formed the acquaintance of T. W. Pockett, originator of several of the best chrysanthemums grown in America. Mr. Pockett is curator of the Malvern Botanic Gardens, a beautiful spot built by Mr. Pockett 's genius where there was only a sandy waste a few years ago. Mr. Spencer says the florists' business in Australia looked to him to be in about the stage it was in America twenty years ago. The largest greenhouse he saw was about 15x50, glazed with 8x10 glass. In the flower stores the stocks of metal wreaths were more conspicuous than the flowers, though, of course, it was summer in Australia at the time of Mr. Spencer's visit. CALLAS IN CALIFORNIA. The illustration on page 49 is re- produced from a photograph made in one of the calla fields of the MacRorie- McLaren Co., San Francisco, and will serve to give an idea of how this crop is produced. These plants are growing for bulbs to supply the eastern trade, and not for cut flowers. Dan MacRorie, who is widely known in the trade through his years of connection with eastern houses, stands on the right hand in the picture. A comparison of the flowers with the figure of Mr. Mac- Rorie, and he is not a small man, will give an idea of the luxuriance of the iirowth of the calla in California. SAN FEANCISCO. The Market. The hot weather whicli we passed through a week ago has commenced to show its effects. Many thousands of blooms under ordinary circumstances would have been ready for market now and in the near future, but the quick rise of temperature which commenced about a week before Memorial day prac- tically finished the crop and flowers have never before been so scarce in the early part of June.

In carna- tions the • conditions are almost the same, and although not so much can be said against the quality of them, everyone complains of their scarceness. Sweet peas are about the only popular flower that is plentiful, and they also are getting rather short of stem. The price on them continues to be low, while quite the reverse is true of roses and carnations. We have had an abundance of funeral onlers and plenty of .June weddings, while the out-of-town dealers have been purchasing largely from the wholesalers. A few cactus dahlias have been sent to town and Bride gladioli are all out of season. Other kinds of hardy stock are being used up well and more could be sold if it could be had. There is no immediate chance of any great quantity of inside stock being sent into town and such growers as have much to offer can consider themselves lucky.

Yates, Rochester, N. Y. Thirty-sixth an- nual meeting, St. Louis, June. IttU. The Teas Nursery Co., of Houston, Tex., has been incorporated, with a capi- tal of $20,000, by Edward Teas, C. S. Preston and A. J. Condit. C. Grootendorst, of F. J. Grooten- dorst & Sons, Boskoop, who has been visiting nurserymen and plantsmen in this country for two months or more, sailed for Holland June 14, from New York. Charged with using the mails to de- fraud, J. A. Delaney was arrested at Crystal Lake, 111., June 6, by a postoffice inspector. Delaney formerly was em- ployed by Saddler Bros., of Bloomington, and by Arthur Bryant & Sons, of Prince- ton, and is alleged to have defrauded his employers by means, of forged orders. At Chicago Commissioner Foote held him in $1,500 bail. PROGRESS IN THE TRADE. At the thirty-fifth annual convention of the American Association of Nur- serymen, held at Denver June 8 and 9, President F. H. Stannard sounded the keynote in the following words, quoted from his annual address: "Much has been done in recent years in establishing uniform grades, in furnishing the grades now required by the trade, and discarding the objec- tionable trees as required by the vari- ous state laws, making the producer furnish more real value for the money than at any other period in the history of the nursery business. For these rea- sons there ought to be a united effort on the part of the nurserymen to get better prices." Better stock and better prices; that was the theme, one way or another, of almost every speaker. PRESIDENT STARK. W. P. Stark, the new president of the American Association of Nurserymen, also is president of the Missouri State Board of Horticulture, and is one of the most enthusiastic of orchardists, as well as nurserymen. He is treasurer of Stark Bros.' Nurseries & Orchards Co., of Louisiana, Mo., and an untiring worker in the field of horticulture gen- erally. The Stark firm was established in 1825, and is now being managed by the third and fourth generations of the Stark family. The company has a cap- ital stock of a million dollars, all paid up, and is probably the largest nursery concern in the world. The company grows its stock in nine states. Experi- ence has shown them that no one local- ity will produce all kinds of stock to the best advantage, and this is given as the reason that the growing end of the business is scattered over such a large territory. The company employs thousands of agents, and also has a large mail order trade, which is in- creasing rapidly. The past season's business was the largest m the history of the concern. The company is the introducer of Delicious, King David, Senator, Champion, Black Ben, and other apples, the names of which they registered as trademarks, as well a"s some fine peaches, grapes, etc. During the year just closed Mr. Stark has served the association as vice-president and chairman of the transportation committee, and the way he handled the latter position showed how wise is the act of calling him to assume the general direction of the affairs of the association. THE DENVER CONVENTION. [The opening of the convention was fully re- ported in last week's Issue of The Review.] Trade Ethics. The American Association of Nur- serymen, on the closing day of its con- vention at Denver last week, went squarely on record in regard to a ques- tion of trade ethics. It was declared by resolution that trade lists should be withheld from those not nurserymen or dealers with established headquarters; that prices should not be cut as the sea- W. P. Stark. (President American Association of Nurserymen.) son progresses, and that those not buy- ing to sell again should be charged re- tail rates. President F. H. Stannard introduced the subject by saying, in his annual address: "At our meeting in Roches- ter last year, J. H. Dayton, of Paines- ville, O., read a paper on 'Nurserymen Pulling Together a Little More,' which I believe was much appreciated by every nurseryman present, not only be- cause of the entertaining way in which he handled the subject, but because of the facts presented, which we all recog- nize and ought to make a special effort to put in practice." The discussion crystallized in the adoption of the fol- lowing resolutions: Resolved — That our lowest prices or trade lists should he mailed only to r.urserymen or dealers with established headquarters, who are knowu to be actively engaged in the trade; That some effort should be made to have our price lists and quotations to orchardists and re- tail buyers nearer a uniform basis for the same grades and varieties of stock. Tiiat as the practice of cutting prices as the season advances is one of the great demoralizers of both the wholesale and retail trade, estab- lished rates should be adhered to throughout the season. That parks, cemeteries and other public Instl tutlons are not in the trade and are not entltleU to trade rates. That stock shipped on orders of landscape architects and Invoiced direct to their customers should be billed at same retail rates as if the order came direct from the planter. Opposed to Replace Policy. Having gone so far as to define who should and who should not get trade prices, J. R. Mayhew, of Waxahachie, Tex., found little opposition to his plan to have the association go on record as condemning the so-called replace policy, which is Mr. Mayhew 's pet abomination. He purposes to do what he can to stamp it out, and recently secured the adoption of a resolution by the Texas Nurserymen's Association condemnatory of the practice of replac- ing stock at less than full price. Being on the program for a paper on "The Resultant Evils of the Replace Pol- icy," he said in part: "When and where the practice originated I am un- able to say, but this I know, that few retail men the country over but have practiced the policy of replacing, or the promise to replace, at one-half price, free, or on some other nonsensical basis. Doubtless he who first conceived the idea believed it to be a business asset, but has it so proven? It has proven a millstone about our necks, branded us as shysters, grafters, and what not? My friends, this insane policy, if not checked, will keep us poor. A business policy detrimental to the common good should be suppressed, whether in our own business or that of our competitor, for our fields are so close by that if one sows tares we all get our share of the harvest." After a vehement denunciation of the practice of replacing by E. W. Kirkpatrick, and a mildly apologetic talk in its favor by J. S. Kerr, all Texans, the following resolution was adopted: Whereas, the policy of replacing nursery stork at less than full value, heretofore extensively practiced over the country generally, has re- sulted in serious Injury to the nurserymen, exer- cised a demoralizing influence over the salesmen. and has not really benefited the planter because it has encouraged negligence on his part lu planting and looking after trees and plants pnr- ihased by him and led him to underestimate the value of such nursery stock sold him; ana Whereas, this association was Instituted and is maintained to promote the best interests of botu nurseryman and planter, which said interests are being seriously crippled by the above polic.v; and Whereas, said practice necessarily tends to destroy the confidence of the planter in tlie nurseryman, and produces in his mind an errone- ous impression as to the real value of the goous sold by the nurseryman, now therefore, Be It Resolved, That this association un^ qualifledly condemns the said policy of replacmS nursery stock at less than its full market value as being unwise, unbusinesslike and wholly u"' necessary, and Be It Further Resolved, That the real m^ terests of the nurseryman and planter will "* best promoted by the exercise of sound business methods in this, as well as other dealings, witn them. Hard Root Gall Innocuous. E. A. Smith, of Lake City, Min'i-, presented a paper on the hard or hairy form of root gall or crown gall. The subject is an important one, because several states have passed laws prohib- iting the admission of trees showing June 1G, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review* 55 gig lis of any form of root gall. Mr. Smith cited what the authorities of the experiment stations have said regard- ing; it, and described experiments con- difcted for five years by the Jewell Nursery Co., by which he had proven tu his complete satisfaction that the liaid gall is not only not contagious bur not injurious and generally out- gr,)wn. Peter Youngers, of Geneva, js(b., took the same stand. Specimens of roots of perfectly healthy trees were slidwn which had been grown from nur- se i.v stock affected by these diseases. Alter a lengthy discussion, in which suiiie of the inspectors took issue with the essayists, the following resolutions, presented by Mr. Smith, were adopted: Whereas, The hard or hairy form of root or cri'wn gall by practical experiments has not bffii found Injurious or contagious to apple tn-fs; 'I'lierefore, Be It Resolved, That we, the Aiui'i'loan Association of Nurserymen, do hereby piott'st against and condemn the action of state le^'islatures in refusing to grant certificates of adniission and acceptance of apple trees in their respective states because of the presence of hard or lialry form of root or crown gall, and we hereby urge upon the legislatures, their agents or persons having this matter in charge, the ad- visability of admitting this class of stock, and reeommend that the laws be so changed as to permit the delivery of apple trees showing hard or hairy form of root or crown gall; also, that this resolution be placed In the bands of our legislative committee with power to act at their diseretlon. Officers Elected. The officers for 1910-11, elected as per nominations by the state vice-presi- dents, are: President — W. P. Stark, Louisiana, Mo. V^ice-president — E. S. Welch, Shenan- doah, la. Secretary — John Hall, Eochester. Treasurer — C. L. Yates, Eochester. Executive Committee — J. H. Dayton, Painesville, O.; E. M. Sherman, Charles City, la.; H. B. Chase, Huntsville, Ala. All s^ve the president and vice-presi- dent are reelections. St. Louis Next. yt. Louis is a perennial candidate for the nurserymen's convention. Vic- torious on the floor of the convention a year ago, but defeated on a mail vote to reconsider, that city's repre- sentatives renewed the invitation for 1!)11 and were successful. The Local Hospitalities. Probably never before in its history has the association been so lavishly aiid fittingly entertained as during the meeting held in Denver last week. E\ery available moment during the two days of the convention was occupied in automobile rides for the ladies, park entertainments and the- ater parties planned for by the l*"iiver Convention League and the ^vestern nurserymen. On Friday, the flii.y after the closing of the busi- iicss sessions, all the members and tlieir ladies, some 300 in number, were guests of the western nurserymen on a trip over the Moffat road, one of the •Ji'Jst attractive of the many scenic routes in Colorado. A bountiful lunch ^"tis provided to be eaten on the way, ^ud after the train arrived at the high- est altitude, 11,660 feet above sea level, '•'c party descended to indulge in nierry games of snow-balling, in pic- ture-taking and gathering rare speci- 'I'ens of flowers growing in abundance among the scanty grass. In contrast to this rugged and spec- tacular trip was that taken next day as guests of the Colorado State Board °f Immigration through the fertile E. S. Welch. (Vice-President American Association of Nurserymen.) plains skirting the mountains, where the visitors were given object lessons in the manner of conducting irrigation and the immense benefits received therefrom. Irrigated fields covered with waving grain or thriftily growing trees alternated with gray, barren wastes that had not yet been touched by the life-giving waters. Stops were made at Boulder, Longmont, Loveland, Fort Collins, Greeley and Lupton, and at each place conveyances stood ready, either automobiles or trolley cars, to take the visitors to points of interest in the surrounding country. At Fort Collins, where the State College of Ag- riculture is situated, an especially hearty greeting was accorded the vis- itors by the faculty of the college and the Chamber of Commerce. Welcome refreshments were served amid the cool, shady green of the campus, and the buildings and grounds were thrown open to inspection. An abundance of literature was distributed everywhere, bearing witness not only to the mar- velous results achieved within the short history of the settlements, but also to the implicit faith in the future cherished by the enthusiastic people of this region of Colorado. In fact, Colo- rado people confess themselves to be "boomers and boosters," and rather enjoy being thus considered. CHOOSINa A VOCATION. [An extract from the paper of A. Willis, read before the Nurserymen's Convention at Denver, June 8, 1910.] Before advising a young man to adopt the nursery business as a voca- tion, think what your advice may mean and what the consequence may be. Ee- member that few nurserymen are rich. So far as is known to the writer, there is no nurseryman worth a million dol- lars who has made his money in the nursery business in this country. There is, so far as known to the writer, no nursery firm which has ever handled a million dollars' worth of nursery stock in any one year in the regular way of trade. There have been few great men among nurserymen and few ever had high official position. This calling does not promise large success in a business or financial way, nor yet in official honors and preferments, but it does promise, if faithfully followed, a comfortable support and in some cases a degree of luxury for its members. It promises, if carefully cultivated, good character and in large degree the con- fidence and good will of those with whom you associate. You will have the satisfaction of knowing that no one does more to adorn the landscape, or make beautiful the home of the working man, or the man- sion of the rich, and no one has con- tributed more to promote the pleasure and good health of his fellow men than the people who have supplied the planter and the orchardist, and the landscape artist with the fruit and ornamental trees they have needed for their work. The nurseryman has sup- plied these, and he has supplied mfl- lions of trees for the forester and the new work of conservation will from every standpoint be more dependent on him than on the followers of any other calling. Before deciding how you would ad- vise this young man, let me ask that you call to mind your own experience 54 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Jlm; h;, 1010, NURSERY NEWS.

Opposed to Replace Policy. Having gone so far as lo deline \' ,,, should and who should not get tr: ii^ prices, J. R. Mtiyhcw, of Waxahacl- , Tex., found little opposition to his p!,,n to have the association go on reci i iis condemning the so-called rephn i' policy, which is Mr. Mayhew's jet tibomination. He jiurposes to do w! .ii he can to stamp it out, and recein y secured the adoption of ii resolution l.v the Texas Nurserymen's Associatmn condeiniKitory of the practice of rephn- ing stock at less than full price. Be in:; on the program for a paper on "Tie Resultant Evils of the Replace I'hI icy," he said in part: "When mi where the practice originated I am nn able to say, but this I know, that feu retail men the country over but have priicticcd the policy of replacing, or tie jiromisc to replace, at one-half jni' e, free, or on some other nonsensical basi-. Doubtless he who first conceived the idea believed it to be a business asset. but has it so proven? It has proven :i millstone about our necks, branded i- as shysters, grafters. ;ind what no' .' My friends, this insane policy, if le ; checked, will keep us poor. A busiin-- policy detrimental to the common go" I should be suppressed, whether in o ir own business or that of our competit'i. for our fields are so close by that t one sows tares we all get our share i the harvest." After a vehement denunciation t the practice of replacing by E. - Kirkpatrick, :ind :i mildly apologe ' talk in its favor by J. S. Kerr, . '1 Texans. the following resolution w - adopted: When as, the policy of reiilarinf: nursery r-' .•it less tlii'ii full value, heretofore extensr practiced over tlie country t^enerally. has -iilteil in serious iujiiry to the nurserymen, e eised a denioralizin;; influence over the sale'' :iud has not really benefited the planter lic' • il has encoura,i;ed ne,clit;ence on his part idantinir ;ind lookiiis after trees and plants : I liased by him ami led him to nnderestii' ihe value of such mnsery stock sold liim; ' Whereas, this association was iuslituted a'' maintained to promote tlie best interests of niirservman and iilanter, which said iiitc an- ti( 'ML' serionslv crippled by the above p"' MUd Wlieieas. said Iiractice necessarily teii'l de-iii,v the confidence of the planter in iiui'^eiyman. and produces in his mind an ei ous impression as to tiie real value of the - sold by the nurseryman, now therefore. r.e It Itesolved, That this association (lualificdly condemns the said policy of re|il-' nursery stock at less than its full market \ as lieini^r unwise, unbusinesslike and wliuU.^ iiei-cssai'v, and lie It Further Hesolved, That th(! real teresls of the nurseryman and planter wi" ' best promoted by the exercise of sound bus:' methods in this as W(dl as other dealinj:'^. them.

I'.Ue. | Before advising a young man 1o adopt the nursery business as ;i voca- tion, think what your advice may mean and what the eonseqiuMice may lie. Ke- inenil)or that few nurserymen are rich. Sii I'ar ;i.s is known to the writer, there is no nurseryman worth a tnillioii dol- l.ars who has made his money in the nursery business in this country. There is, so far as known to the writer, no nursery fiini which has ever handled ;i million dollars' worth of nursery stock in any one year in the regular way of trade. There have been few great men among nurserymen ;ind few ever had high oflicial jiosition. This i-alling does not promise large success in a iiusiness or financial way, nor yet in otlicial honois and preferments, but it does promise, if faithfully followed, a comfortable support and in some cases a degree of luxury for its tnenibers. It promises, if carefully cult iv.-ited, good (diaracter and in large degree the con- (idenc(> and good will of those with whom you associate. ^'ou will have the satisfaction of knowing that no one does more to adorn the biiiilscape, or make beautiful the home of the working man. or the man- sion of the rich, and no one has con- tributed more to promote the pleasure ;iiid good health of his fellow men than the jieople who have suiiplicd the planter and the ortdiardist. and the landscape .artist with the fruit and orntimental trees they h.ave needed for their work. 'i"he iiiirs(Myman has sup- plied these, and he ha.s supplied mil- lions of trees for the forester and the new work of conservation will from every standpoint be more dependent on him than on the followers of any other i:illing.

Mark Aitken has his new plant at Agawam fairly under way. Superin- tendent Morgan says it is an ideal spot and promises to produce stock that will make the best growers sit up and take notice. William Schlatter & Son need more store space and are considering an of- fer of a fine location nearby. They re- port a big business. The greenhouses, under the care of the senior member, never looked better. He says he is go- ing to Rochester to attend the conven- tion and inspect the aster fields. Louis Robinson handled the largest number of plants on record this season. He believes in quick sales and propor- tionate returns. Foreman Butts, of J. W. Adams & Co., still pins his faith to Prospector, which he considers the most profitable scarlet carnation to grow. Charles Ad- ams says the nursery end this season beat the record for both local and out- of-town orders. M. NORTH ABINQTON, MASS. Vandals visited the premises of the Bay State Nurseries on the evening of June 4 and destroyed choice imported evergreens, also apple and pear trees, to the value of $1,000. The plants were snipped off near the ground with shears and hatchets. W. H. Wyman, proprietor of the nurseries, who was formerly chief of the Abington police, believes that the work was maliciously done in an endeavor to get even with him by someone whom he had prosecuted when at the head of the police department. A year ago, when he was in office, a large number of trees were similarly damaged. The miscreants were not found on that occasion, nor have any arrests been made this time. C. Emporia, Kan. — James M. Tanner has gpne to Cedarville, Mich., to spend the summer. Pocantico Hills, N. Y. — Henry Schra- der, a florist on the estate of John D. Rockefeller, recently purchased a farm at Schooleys Mountain, N. J. John Hoff- man has been engaged by Mr. Schrader to take charge of the farm, and will spend the summer on it. MR.

The annual summer show of the Nas- sau County Horticultural Society was held at Pembroke hall, June 8. Con- sidering the season, tlie exhibition hall was well filled, and the visitors were unanimous in their i)raises of the fine display. Harry Turner, Walter Shaw and David McFarlane were judges for the day. H. S. Phips, Jr., Eoslyn, was elected an honorary member. Two new members were elected and two applica- tions received. The next meeting will be sweet pea night, and several prizes will be offered for the best exhibits. Among the numerous exhibits was a particularly good one from F. O. John- son, gardener to Mrs. H. Pratt, Glen Cove, who showed seven vases of roses which well deserved the cultural cer- tificate awarded. The Julius Eoelirs Co., Rutherford, N. J., made a splendid exhibit of or- chids, including about twenty varieties, and received a cultural certificate. Honorable mention was awarded to W. Eoss, gardener to C. H. Phips, Jr., Eoslyn, for two beautiful ferns; also a vote of thanks for a display of roses not entered for competition. A vote of thanks was also awarded to V. Clercs for campanulas, and to E. West- erbe for a vase of roses. Monthly prize winners were: G. Wil- son, for best pteris, also for best adian- tum, and I. McDonald, for best nephrol- epis. A cultural certificate was awarded to H. Fleischauer for a fine display of sweet peas, roses and strawberries, and honorable mention to Paul Eeul for a vase of Frau Karl Druschki roses. O. E. Addor, Cor. Sec'y. DES MOINES.

The weather during last week was a record-breaker for rain and cold nights. With a temperature of 45 degrees, every- thing in the planting line was at a standstill. The cut flower business, as is usual at this season of the year, has been greater in volume than in monetary value, al- though there has been some funeral work which made heavy calls for good stock. The June weddings, also, are fairly numerous and some have calls for elaborate floral displays. The quality of roses is not improving and many that come in are hard to move. From now on growers will be pulling them out and shipments will necessarily diminish. The dealers on the streets are selling them at 1 cent each. Carnations are still abundant and in fairly good shape, but this is due wholly to the cool weather. Various Notes. Thomas H. White will give an ad- dress at the meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, June 13, on "Fer- tilizers for the Greenhouse." Richard Vincent, Jr., has arrived home from his trip to Belgium and Hol- land, where he inspected some of the largest nurseries there. He will give the club an illustrated lecture on his trip and what he saw at the Haarlem show and the bulb fields. He is work- ing hard on the summer outing of the Maryland State Horticultural Society, which is to be held at Harrison's Nurseries, at Berlin, Ind., in the near future. Mr. Vincent has planted thirty acres in dahlias this season. James Hamilton, of Mount Washing- ton, has had one of the busiest seasons in pot plants that he has known for many months. He is shipping thousands of mums all over the country. Q. Wichita, Kan. — Carter Bros., of this city, have purchased sixteen lots at the corner of Pearce street and Central avenue, in the northwest part of the city, and will there erect a large resi- dence and a range of greenhouses. Four greenhouses, each 30x150, will be built at once, and will be among the finest in this part of the state. 20^"^ Discount on Bedding Plants for Stock For the next 10 days we will allow a discount of 20 per cent on any of the following plants except ferns and cyclamen. 2-in. 2-in. 3-in. 4-in. 3-in. 4rin. 2>«-in 2-in. 2-in Nutt Geraniums.

JOHN IRVINE & SONS, Bay City, Michigan Mention The Review when you write. BOCHESTEB. The Market. Trade conditions have not changed materially during the last week. The unfavorable weather continues, pre- venting to a great degree the outdoor work necessary to the production of good stock in large quantities. Carna- tions have been a little more plentiful than formerly, and the receipts of roses have been suflScient to meet all demands. Bedding plant trade was quiet in the early part of the week, but Friday and Saturday saw a marked increase in sales. Aster plants seem to be sell- ing exceptionally well this spring. As the aster was adopted only last year as the official flower of Kochester, the public had no special incentive to cul- tivate this flower until this season, but it seems now as if everyone who has a garden intends to have at least a dozen plants. James Tick's Sons re- port the sale of nearly 10,000 plants of the official Kochester aster, formerly known as Mikado Pink, in small lots to their retail store customers. In ad- dition to this variety, thousands of other sorts have been sold — the Branch- ings in colors, Daybreak, Violet King and Eose King being popular. Other retailers report large sales of aster plants. Probably a quarter of a mil- lion aster plants will be grown by amateurs in and about the city, and it is impossible even to estimate the num- ber set and ready for setting by the commercial growers. Various Notes. The Rochester Florists' Association announces that its second annual flower show will open in Convention hall No- vember 1, and continue five afternoons and evenings. The plans used in last year's show will be followed to some extent, but the exhibit will be much larger. H. B. Stringer, secretary of the association, has already suggested to the commercial growers the wisdom of starting their specimens at once and, if possible, indicating the amount of space desired. "The souvenir album for the S. A. F. convention is about ready for the printers," says Mr. Vick, who is chair- man of the committee. "It's going to be the finest thing of the kind ever is- sued, and every member who attends the convention will carry his copy home as a valuable souvenir of Rochester." E. F. R. LOOK!

Will you kindly give me advice about the piping of a greenhouse, 25x100, for hot water? There will be five benches in the house — a 3-foot one along each wall and three 4-foot ones in the cen- ter. Which will be the better plan — to run two 2-inch flows overhead and come back under the bench with 1^- inch returns, or use 4-inch pipes throughout? Also tell me the number of runs to use of each size for returns. The house is in a protected position and I expect to install a boiler with at least twenty-five per cent of surplus capacity. I am located in northeastern Ohio. F.B. I would not care to use either plan proposed, except with some modifica- tions. While small pipes are preferred to those four inches in diameter, it is a mistake to use returns as small as 1^- inch in a house of the size mentioned, unless the boiler is several feet below the level of the returns. Even then five 2-inch flows and fourteen 1%-inch re- turns would be needed, but better re- sults could be obtained with three 2^- inch flows and twelve 2-inch returns. One of the flows could be upon each wall and the other in the center of the house, overhead. Three of the re- turns can be under each side bench and the others can be placed in pairs under the other benches. FOB EITHEB STEAM OB WATEB. We intend to build three greenhouses, each 16x100, seven feet to the eaves and eleven and one-half feet to the ridge, with 3-foot wooden walls, sur- mounted by four feet of glass, and the ends also glazed. There will be a glass partition between the houses. The houses will be protected on the north by a salesroom, potting shed and boiler room. We have a 52-flue firebox boiler, rated at 2,200 feet of radiation. The north house we intend for roses, and it will need a temperature of 60 degrees; the middle house, for carna- tions, will be run at 50 degrees; the third house, for sweet peas and violets, Would You Save One-Quarter of Your Coal Bill? =^ INSTALL = A Kitts Improved Hydraulic Damper Regulator. Florist Peter Crowe, Rose Place, Utica, N. V., voluntarily writes:— " I am very much pleased to let you know that the Damper Retrulator I bought from you last fall is by far the best apparatus for greenhouse purposes. I had my book-keeper compare my coal bill of last with that of this year and I find a saving of one quarter the amount of this year's coal over last year's ; also the past winter was a great deal colder and longer than the winter before. ■' There is another very good feature about the Damper Regulator, as it keeps a uniform heat in all the houses at all times by putting on and shutting off pipes. And I find that my Roses and Ferns dirt far better this winter than any winter so far, as the temperature was so uniform at all times. " My reason for writing you is to let you know, and also to thank you for bringing my attention to the Regulator, and I assure you I cannot speak too highly of this machine."

Here, in central Wisconsin, the winters vary a great deal, but it is safe to figure on 20 degrees below zero as our coldest weather, and that only for short periods. Will you please let us know if our boiler will handle this work easily? How many 1-inch pipes will be needed in each house, to maintain the required heat? We have two 3-inch runs from our boiler, but only one 4-inch opening for the returns. Will this 4-inch return take care of the two 3-inch flows? We intend to put up an expansion tank and run hot water until such times as steam is needed, then run on steam. A. L. B.

The stock is still of fine quality, due, no doubt, to the fact that up to now the nights have always been cool. Local peonies of good quality are now arriving in quantity and sell read- ily. In lilies the Harrisii have been more plentiful than the callas; the lat- ter have always been cleaned up, while some of the former were unsold. With tlie exception of a few stray tulips, that line is done for this season. The de- mand for valley has been exceptionally iieavy during the last fortnight. Green goods are about equal to the demand. Various Notes. The M. A. McKenney Co. says that up to now busines has been firm and steady, away ahead of other seasons, with no prospect of a let-up in the near future. J. M. Fox & Son, who always get their share of the better class of trade, have been quite busy of late with work for weddings and other social func- tions. Roy Cnrrie, who conducts the store of Currie Bros. Co. on Wisconsin street, remarked that he "never saw the like; for the last two months it has been one continual rush from morning till night, trying to please everybody." William Zimmermann, at Fifth street and Grand avenue, reports that busi- ness has been fine for some time. Funeral work and graduating exercises have caused him to work overtime. The East Side Floral Co. has been extremely busy of late with outdoor bedding and window boxes. The firm was well prepared for the spring trade and the work is well cleaned up by this time. The Mueller & Schroeder Co. is sup- plying this market with Victory carna- tions which are really of better quality than in midwinter. All around, their stock is holding out finely. To judge by the way Nic Zweifel, of North Milwaukee, has been and is growing White Perfection and Winsor (tarnations this season, one could not wish for better varieties in those respective colors. Albert Groth, also of North Milwau- kee, is bringing in some exceptionally fine sweet peas these days. His carna- tions, which are clean in every respect, find ready sale. The C. C. Pollworth Co., though completely sold out of bedding stock some time ago, says that there is still plenty of call for that line of stock. Shipping trade with this firm continues satisfactory. The Holton & Hunkel Co. is receiv- ing daily shipments of fine Killarney roses from Adam Zender's plant at Rogers Park, 111. Shipping trade here has been fine right along. The three new greenhouses of Manke Bros., at their North Milwaukee place, which will be devoted to carnations exclusively, are nearing completion. This will give them a chance for early housing. William Toole, secretary of the Wis- consin State Horticultural Society, spent a few days in our midst, working on the preliminaries for this year's state fair, which takes place just west of our city.

An exceptionally high grade hose manufactured with a woven jacket insertion instead of cotton duck, and with specially selected rubber in the inner tube and cover. , The woven jacket constructton makes a stronger hose than can be obtained from cotton duck, and absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on cotton duck. ■ This construction also gives a more flexible hose and reduces the possibility of kinking.

Flowers are plentiful. Carnations are in big supply, with the demand fair. They retail at 50 cents per dozen. Good roses bring $1.50 per dozen; snapdrag- ons, 75 cents and $1 per dozen; lilies, $2 per dozen; gladioli, 75 cents and $1 per dozen. Indoor sweet peas are not of much account. Geraniums and other bedding plants sell well yet. The demand for pansies and daisies is practically all over. There has been a good demand for them this season, with fairly good prices. Funeral work has been good of late, using lots of short and inferior stock. The weather last week was cold and damp. There was plenty of rain and everything is looking nice and green. There is a good demand for young aster plants; these retail at 10 and 15 cents per dozen roots. The present wet sea- son has been good for the starting of young stock in the field. The street faker is still with us, selling roses and carnations at ridiculously low prices. Various Notes, M. B. Sylvia, of the Dartmouth street nurseries, reports a good demand for shrubs, etc., during the last week. Some of the children in the home garden con- test are making wonderful progress in their work and are already showing sur- prising results. William P. Peirce, on Union street, is showing large quantities of bedding plants and flowers at his store M, B.

By a recent ruling of the board of education floral presents to graduates may not be pre- sented on the stage, but are to be dis- tributed to the recipients later. W. S. Boardmau will have charge of this work in the case of the high school com- mencement in Harmanus Bleecker hall, and for the grammar schools the dis- tribution will be in charge of one or more men sent to the schools by the florists.

The Weekly Florists' Review* 87 These Greenhouses are Equipped with The Kewanee System of Water Supply This illustration shows the Riverside Greenhouses at Wichita, Kas. Though not connected with any city mains, they are provided with service equal to that of the best city water works system. Mr. F. Kuechenmeister, proprietor of the Riverside Greenhouses, says: "The Kewanee Water Supply System I bought of you, gives en- tire satisfaction. The outfit works fine — no cost for repairs." Good water service is appreciated everywhere. But nowhere is this service so essential, as it is for greenhouses, nurseries, truck gardens, etc. The water supply problem for these places has been successfully solved by The Kewanee System of Water Supply In the Kewanee System, there is no ele- vated tank to leak, freeze, overflow or col- lapse. Instead, the water is stored in a Kewanee Pneumatic Tank, and it is deliv- ered by air pressure. The Kewanee Tank may be located in the cellar or buried in the ground. It is completely protected from all ex- tremes in weather. You will be sure of water of the ri^ht temperature dur- ing all seasons. This water will have strong pressure behind it— 40 to 60 pounds is easily possible. 40 pounds is equal to the pressure from an elevated tank 93 feet hi^h. And you can have all the water you want, because Kewanee Tanks are made in sizes to suit any requirements. There are nearly ten thousand Kewanee Systems in successful operation. They are being used for country and suburban homes, farms, green houses, truck gar- dens, public institutions, schools, etc. Wherever city water service is not available or is unsatisfactory, the Ke- wanee System is the logical choice. Let our engineering department solve your water supply problem. No charge for preliminary specifications and esti- mates. Satisfactory results guaranteed. Write for our 64 -page illustrated catalog which tells all about the Kewanee System. This book is free.

ART IN MASSIVE DESIGNING. Many Flowers to Make One Form. Heviewing the two definitions given in tlie opening chapter of this discus- sion (on page 5 of The Review of June 9), that of the word "art," and that of tlie word "massive," we remember that art in massive design is really the expression of some idea by the use of many flowers or plants to make one form. Many forms of beauty are lost in one collection to produce a greater object, which shall be a reproduction of something seen or imagined. Beauty of individual flowers is deliberately sac- rificed for what they can contribute to the tree or orchard. The separate flow- ers of any of the composite order are set closely together and you have the yellow center of the daisy or the brown center of the sunflower. That is massive designing with a vengeance. A grove or orchard is a massive de- sign composed of massive designs, the individual trees. Our massive designing, then, must take definite form, must mean some- thing, must speak. Of what practical value, then, is all this talk about massive designing? Hav- ing gotten this idea well in mind, not to lose sight of the individual beauty of 1 he flower without finding for it a Pla-e in a mass which shall multiply 'ts isefulness in its new location, let "s inention a few instances where it ^ill Iienefit us in our work. Where Massing Is Effective. J' there are two or three hundred ^aii itions available for a window dis- P'f*/ collect them in one large vase or jar ikJ display them as a mass rather ""' separate them into several groups °^ Vises, aimlessly placed. In a church alt;: I decoration where the flowers can- "ot he appreciated individually, mass jnei . together at one point. How many 'nils in a church the preacher must hav.. his f .. . . - nerves upset and his atten- |iO'i distracted by an ambitious collec- 'oii of yellow, red and green vases, 'ti< pink, lavender and white bouquets, Pf"i a few square inches of pulpit de^k pace! Florists might help committees ^. simplify this matter and rule out ^S'ollaneous contributions of this kind y Suggesting coreopsis for one day's J ^^"r^tions, sweet peas for another, ^ahlias for another, pinks for another. Adhering to the Scheme. In a decoration for a home wedding there are three points which should be treated — a convenient place opposite the entrance, where an attractive deco- rative feature should welcome guests as they arrive, the ceremony place, and the dining room. Other features should be helpers to emphasize the decorations of these points. They should harmonize with, yet lead up to the others. Economize, not in the quantity of flowers employed, but in the variety of schemes employed. Some decorated rooms might be compared to a room decorated with many different styles of wall paper or different designs of frescoing, so little attention is paid to the style of arrangement of different decorative features. It should be one scheme, with every feature connected and related to every other. Further, do not occupy every niche and corner that offers itself. Treat each room as a fraction of the whole, yet as a unit of itself. Neglect the majority of vacancies; indulge a few of them. In that sense, always mass. Artistic Use of Short Stock. Often a quantity of short stock is available for display purposes and a to the mirror. If properly arranged, the several sections will reflect indefi- nitely gates and gates of roses, and the people will stop and look, and re- member, too. Besides suggesting that you have roses, it will also suggest that you have decorative sense. Method in Massing. A window filled with some kind of blooming plants in a commonplace man- ner will never prove so attractive as if a tall column of those same plants were seen rising alone and unrivaled in the window. 8uch groups of Easter lilies and spira?as have been seen this sea- son. If enough space is available, have several columns, wide apart, and fill the floor space between the columns with plants individually displayed. Mass with a purpose, and a very defi- nite purpose, as you would scatter with a method in your madness. Do not run massive designing or loose designing, or any other one style, to tiresome extremes. Alternate, combine, connect, hint at, flirt with the two. Oc- casionally cut loose from all restrictions and forget rules. Get away from every- thing and everybody and set your fancy free. See an image in your mind's eye and call in common sense to work it out. Gertrude Blair. BOOMING THE BUSINESS. ' ' Flower growers and sellers in Eng- land have not, on the whole, been hav- ing the best of times lately," says the Horticultural Advertiser, "and it would be well for the trade as a body to con- sider whether it is not iu its power to do something to improve the demand generally. ' ' There are in England only two spe- cial seasons when flowers are so much So f au ^ptuk ti]t Han^aa^t nf J^ionirra?

I have tried practically every insecticide, but with- out results. Besides, I mixed the strong- est poisons, like arsenic and Paris green, with bran, cornmeal and brown sugar, and all of no avail. I should be greatly obliged for knowing a mixture that would exterminate them. I also tried Aphine, Spramulsion, Slugshot and Nicoticide. E. N. None of the remedies you have tried are of much avail against snails. They seem proof against all .poisons and fumigations; even hydrocyanic acid gas seems to cause them little concern. In greenhouses they are specially de- structive among adiantums. They can be trapped in large numbers by laying leaves of cabbage and lettuce, or slices of carrot and turnip, and examining these, especially at night; the snails can be plunged in hot water and de- stroyed. If your benches are badly in- fested, remove, all the plants and either pour on boiling water, or give a dust- ing with air-slaked lime. A touch of the latter will kill the snails. Salt can be similarly used and it will pay to scatter either salt or lime, both on and below your benches. Snails cannot live long after coming in contact with either. Outdoors, scatter lime or soot from soft coal freely around the haunts, of the snails. They cannot travel over a line of either, and neither will harm any of your plants, the soot being spe- cially beneficial. Salt can be similarly used, but is more likely to damage the plants. Scattered on walks or about any of their haunts, it will kill large quantities. A line of sawdust while it remains dry will act as a barrier to snails. I have frequently seen bands of this used outdoors to guard plants from the attacks of snails, with perteet success. C. A\'. GEBMINATING KENTIA SEEDS. Please tell us how much heat kontia seeds can stand without being spoiled. Tell us, also, what degree of heat is most suitable for them. E. ^. Kentia seeds would stand a tempna- ture of 100 degrees for a few days without serious injury, provided tlipv were kept moist, but such a tempera- ture is not necessary for the gernilna tion of these seeds. A temperature of 75 to 80 degrees is sufficient for the -sat- isfactory germination of kentias, and this process may be accomplished in cither light soil or a bed of spha^jjiuim moss, as may be most convenient, llie seeds being kept continually moist, liut not sodden. W. H. T. CHRYSANTHEMUMS IN SPRING. The chroniclers of horticultural news in different parts of the country have been recording the fact of the chrysan- themum being on sale at different mar- kets during the spring, and referring to it as something new, whereas, as a matter of fact, it is really as old as chrysanthemum culture. Every year for a long time, Charles Thorley, of New York, has had on sale flowers of a white variety, which I believe is the old variety Niveus, during the months of April and May, and some twelve years ago I recall growing a large batch of the old variety, J. H. Troy, for spring work. Presen.t-day growers are running more to Golden Glow, by the reports in The Review. It is a perfectly simple mat- ter to get almost any variety in flower in the spring, if they are grown for that purpose, but the question is: Is it a good policy? I have always ar- gued that one reason for the great pop- ularity of the mum in the early fall was its reappearance after a good long spell of absence, and the average flower lover greets it like a long lost brother. If we are going to have the chrysan- themum on sale all through the sum- mer, we are going to kill the novelty and one of the mum's best assets for popularity will be crushed out. The writer, in conversation with a promi- nent grower a few days ago, was told that Golden Glow was going to kill the chrysanthemum business. Personally, I do not believe it is going to do any such thing, but that it will have some effect on the market until the craze for growing it has subsided, no one can for a moment doubt. Golden Glow, even though it will flower at almost any season, produces the best flowers about the end of Sep- tember or early in October. Much of the Golden Glow seen on the market at odd seasons is wretchedly poor, and about the only reason for the existence of a good deal of this stock is that the grower allowed the wood to get hard and could not prevent his plants from flowering. If young plants of this varietj' are set out now, and left growing along until the middle or end of July before a bud appears, they will produce al- most 100 per cent of beautiful flowers, and will be a standing refutation of the arguments of some growers that it can- not be made to produce a good, clean stem. Chas. H. Tottv. A GLIMPSE AHEAD. The accompanying portrait of Thomas W. Pockett, of Melbourne, Australia, will give to many growers for the first time some idea of the man who has done possibly more than any other to bring the chrysanthemum to its present high standard, and a report just to hand of the annual autumn show held April 23 at Malvern, a suburb of Mel- bourne, gives a glimpse, six months ahead, of the things we shall hear more about when our own autumn arrives. At the Malvern show, which was a notable one, "all the leading awards were won by W. T. Pockett, a son of T. W. Pockett, to whom the credit is due for establishing new seedlings. The well known curator of the Malvern pub- lic gardens has attained a stage which makes the cross-fertilization of chrys- anthemums a work that will give imme- diate and certain results, as against the process of a few years ago, when the parents of the seedlings were not known. 'I know the fathers, the grand- fathers and the great-grandfathers of the stocks on which I am working now, ^ Mr. Pockett said to the writer, wiien questioned regarding his advancement with hybridization. He has attained an even higher level than that of ])iist successes with a new seedling, which has been named White Australia. Sev- eral blooms, pure white, with long drooping petals, were shown, and there is every sign, of Mr. Pockett having produced a variety which will beat any- thing that has gone before it. There were large numbers of the newer chrysanthemums in the show, but while a specimen of the new pure white variety, Mrs. David Syme, was nearly equal to winning the award for tiie best bloom in the show, W. T. Pockett won with a Mme. Carnot, a result that was not begrudged l)y chrysanthemum enthusiasts, who reog- nize the remarkable manner in wl)ieb this old favorite has maintained its vigor. "That the work started at Malvern is established on a solid foundation is now an established fact. Speaking with Mr. Pockett on this subject, li» said: 'I have accomplished the objeet I had in view when I first started. It was some time before my friends gave me encouragement. How could I <-■*■ pect to compete with America, Fnn.ce. Japan, Italy, England? How couM } get plants to England in good condi- tion? Now, all these difficulties have been overcome, with the assistance "f those across the sea, and today "^^ best growers and distributors of t''® two greatest flower loving countries m the world, England and America, "'^^ give them the greatest possible atten- tion. It was thought when I raised <"f^ or three varieties some years ago tliiJt it was the luck that comes to nissional gardeners who did not hesi- tate to say that in White Australia jir. Pockett has produced a new va- rietv which promises to increase the intciest in his seedlings on the other gi(ie of the world. '•To anyone taking up the raising of aiiv new plant, Mr. Pockett 's advice jg'lo aim at something definite, and piTsrvere along sound lines. More suc- cess, he asserts, will be gained by fol- lowing this advice than by listening to every faddist, who knows what even-body ought to do, and advises accordingly. " 'All plants,' said Mr. Pockett, 'require certain weather at the various stages of growth, if the best results are to be obtained. After the season has gone, all observant growers of plants are able to give the reason why certain crops failed. This also applies to chrysanthemums. A certain kind of weather is necessary at the most crit- ical time of the plant's existence, or else the time of flowering is somewhat changed, or the quality and quantity of blooms are not up to results ob- tained in ordinary seasons. Supposing the best exhibition blooms are required in this district (Malvern) about, say, the third week in April. Most of the buds would be selected from February 5 to 15, according to the varieties. If we get a few rather cool nights about that time the buds form naturally, and there is little trouble in getting the growth that will give the best blooms. ' ''Mr. Pockett informed the writer that in raising new chrysanthemums it seldom happens that a good exhibition variety is also good as a decorative type. There are so many things to be considered, but the aim of a raiser is to combine as many good qualities as possible. One that has been somewhat neglected is the keeping quality of the bloom. Some are naturally good keep- ers, while others become good keepers owing to a comparatively early bud being selected, which causes a greater number of petals to form. In the lat- ter case the flower is much slower in •leveloping, which produces more sub- stance in the petals, and consequently better keeping qualities. Mr. Pock- ett s present endeavors are centered in t'le raising of varieties in which the "ghtor colors will predominate. Good whites and yellows are always wanted, ^nd the Malvern grower has every con- Jidenoe in raising the standard of the •ghtor colored types. The dark colors )^ere scarce a few years ago, but there IS row a greater number, and there snoiild be no lack in this class for some "nie to come. 'Of the many varieties at the show ^- F. Pelton must be noted as one of 'he most serviceable chrysanthemums raised by Mr. Pockett. In Mr. Pock- ett s winning collection of twelve Aus- tralian seedlings, the varieties were: -trs. David Syme, pure white; Rose f^^el^ott, light gold; Alice Lemon, pale neliotrope; Kara Dow, buflf and yellow; :''**• A. Henley, light heliotrope; Mrs. ^\- Knox, yellow; Pockett 's Crimson, ■rinison and gold; Frank Payne, pale pink; Mrs. W. H. Read, deep red; ^la.hs Blackburn, yellow buflf; Mr. F. • Thompson, pure white, and Mrs. T. W. Pockett. Lexford, brick red and yellow. Of this collection, and in others staged at the same show, Alice Lemon stood out as a particularly fine variety. A new white, exhibited for the first time among Mr. Pockett 's seedlings, has been named Lady Carmichael. " Mr. Pockett 's latest variety, which he has called White Australia, he de- scribes in a private letter as running easily from ten to twelve inches in depth and nine to ten inches in diam- eter. This will give an idea of the improvement that is still going on, and the results that this noted grower is producing, by eternally concentrating his mind on chrysanthemum breeding. It will be noted that the variety Mrs. David Syme has shown up won- derfully well in Australia, and C. H. Totty says he is looking to see just the same results with it here this fall. The White Australia will not conform to our florists' idea of foliage right up to the flower, as will Syme, but the enormous size will undoubtedly make it a leader in the short vase classes. HE FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS. I wish to say I followed the advice and instructions given me in The Re- view of June 9, for mildewed mums, and I am happy to say the mums to- day are entirely free from mildew and have that nice, healthy, dark green, growing color, as nice a lot of plants as one would wish to see. Thanks to the valuable Review and Mr. Totty. A. R. M. Qreenfield, Mass. — F. J. Tetter's store, in the Sheldon block on Main street, has been remodeled and enlarged. The vacating of a neighboring store, formerly occupied by a milliner, pro- vided the room for this expansion. SUMMER TREATMENT OF DALLAS. The selling season for callas is now practically over. Of course, a few growers manage to market flowers the year around, but after the end of May they are really not wanted until Octo- ber. The general method of culture is still in pots; probably nine-tenths of the growers under glass adopt this method, the balance using benches or solid beds. Each plan has its advantages. Where space can be spared, beds are excel- lent, but pot culture permits the grower to move his plants around as he deems fit, and for small growers is preferable to bench culture. The foliage will now show signs of ripening off, but it is unwise to dry off the plants too sud- denly. Stand them outdoors. Let them get any moisture coming from the skies for a couple of weeks; then lay them on their sides and keep them there until time for repotting arrives in August. Plants in beds should be dug up care- fully and packed close together in boxes of loam. Keep these under glass a few days, even if it be in a coldframe. A too sudden drying off will injure the tubers. After the tops disappear, pack in dry sand and store in a shed or cellar. Small offsets can be planted outdoors and will make good sized tubers before the end of September, when they can be lifted and potted. The low price of Californian tubers has induced many growers to purchase fresh stock yearly, but good home- grown ones are vastly superior to any that can be bought and will last for a number of years. Napervllle, 111.— Charles F. Rohr says that the Memorial day trade this year was the heaviest that he has ever seen in a town of this size. 8 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ ,lr\i: L'::.

In poinsettias, the old stock plants are now yielding an abundance of cut- tings. Be sure to look over these twice a week, so that they cannot become too long. Three inches is a nice length for cuttings. In making them, ^;ake the leaves off tolerably bare. Leaving on a lot of foliage simply means that a large part of it will decay and prob- ably cause the rotting of the cuttings themselves. Early propagated cuttings, which would grow too long to be of any use for pan culture, must be kept potted on. Or, better still, if bench space allows, plant them out in five or six inches of good loam; soil such as you would give to chrysanthemums will answer admirably. When quantities of late cuttings are wanted for pans, it is a good plan to plant the stock outdoors, where, with a little warmer and more summer-like weather, cuttings will be produced in quantity. Eucharis Amazonica. Both when grown in pots and in benches, Eucharis Amazonica usually gives a second crop of flowers in June. If in pots, as soon as the flowers are cut give the plants a top-dressing and, in order to get an excellent growth on them through the summer months, place the pots in a coldframe, plunged to their brims in a mixture of strawy manure and leaves, which will provide a gentle bottom heat. Place shaded sashes over the plants, spray and shut them up sufficiently early in the aft- ernoon to bottle up a brisk heat. Treat- ed thus, eucharis will make a grand growth, and, if placed in a dry, mod- erately cool house about the end of September and given a few weeks ' rest, they can be started in heat to furnish a crop of flowers for Christmas. Do any necessary potting before placing the plants in the frames, but always remember that they flower best when well potbound, in which condition they should have an abundance of liquid ma- nure. Late Bedding Plants. The unseasonably cold weather pre- vailing over a large part of the coun- try has considerably delayed bedding- out. Particularly is this true of sub- tropical varieties, which simply starve when the weather is cold and wet. There is always more or less of a de- mand for bedding stock right through the month of June. It is a good plan to see, first, that we have a sufficient quantity of each variety reserved and planted out for ourselves, and then get the remaining batches of plants gath- ered together in frames, where they can be readily watered. Far too often do we see a few plants here and there, scattered all about, and entailing con- siderable scurrying around when any or- der is received. If all the plants are kept together, it is easy to see whether an order can be filled or not. Do not leave empty pots lying above and below benches and outdoors, wherever plants sold may chance to be. Gather them up and stack them away neatly accord- ing to their sizes. Show Pelargoniums. As the show pelargoniums pass out of flower, stand them outdoors. Eeduce the water supply gradually and, as the foliage begins to take on a golden hue, lay the plants on their sides and keep them dry for a few weeks. If extra good sized plants are desired for next spring, cuttings can be obtained in abundance now. As a general rule, it is better to wait until August for these, when the wood is somewhat firmer and less liable to damp off in case of very hot weather. Propagating Flowering Shrubs. There are many deciduous shrubs which can now be propagated, while the wood is in a half -ripened condition. As a general rule, small growers pre- fer to buy these plants from some of the big specialists, rather than bother, with it themselves. The best propagat- ing place for shrubbery is in a cold-, frame. A little warm manure, to give a gentle bottom heat, is an advainage The soil should be fairly sandy foj cuttings and not too heavy. Movable shades should be used and air slioui,] be admitted carefully at all times. The following are some of the \ arie- ties of flowering shrubs which may now be propagated: Hydrangea panicilata and arborescens, weigelias, Philadel- phus Lemoinei and coronarius, deutxiag lilacs, ligustrums, loniceras, keirias' symphoricarpos and viburnums. Some of these varieties come readily from seed and are therefore of easy projiaga- tion. Others, like the lilacs, root slow- ly, and not at all if the wood is not in exactly the proper condition of firm ness. CALCEOLARIAS. When should I sow calceolarias for winter flowering? A. 0. C. It is rather early yet to sow seed of •herbaceous calceolarias. During the hot summer months the seedlings are liable to damp oflF. I always have the best success with seed sown about August 1, in a coldframe facing the north. Cover the sash with a board shutter to keep it cooler in the frame until germination takes place. A lean-to greenhouse fac- ing north is also a suitable place to put the seed pans. Calceolarias cannot be classed as winter-flowering plants. The.ir real blooming period is April and May. The rugosa section can be flow- ered a little ahead of the herbaceous varieties. It is impossible to force these calceolarias. Heat will speedily ruin them. They must be grown cool all the time if good plants are wanted. C. W. ADDING LIME TO BENCH SOIL. Can I safely mix lime with my carna- tion soil before wheeling it onto the benches? If so, how much lime should be used for each wheelbarrow load? Will it improve the soil? J. M. Whether the adding of lime will im- prove your soil cannot be determined without more knowledge of conditions than your letter gives. Under certain conditions, lime will improve almost any soil, but this cannot be said in any and all cases. If your soil is inclined to be soggy and sour, lime will certainly sweeten and improve it. But if it is of good texture and in good mechanical condition, I would not add any lime to it at this time. It will be better to wait until your plants have made some growth, and you can soon see whether the soil is deficient in potash. If the stems come weak under normal culture, then you can add lime or wood ashes with good results. To add potash to soil which is already well supplied with potash would cause the stems to come brittle, and the flowers to lack sub- stance. So do not add anything to your soil unless you feel sure it is netded. See that your soil is rich in nitruii^en, by adding to it a liberal quantit-^' of humus before you house your c.i na- tions. Potash and phosphoric acii' can be added at any time their need i^ •de- tected, in the shape of top-dressing, ptc. A. F. J. B.

If you fumigate your houses before you take the plants out, I would suggest that you repeat the treatment after the houses are all cleaned out. You will be far more certain to get them all after the plants have been removed. Burn the old plants as you take them out, to destroy any that may have escaped the first dose. A. F. J. B. CARNATION SHOW IN LONDON. The spring show of the English car- nation society was fixed for May 19, but owing to the funeral of King Ed- ward it was postponed and held June it. Perhaps the postponement detracted a little from the attendance, but all round it was the finest as regards ex- hibits ever held under the society's auspices, and the later date enabled E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., who had just landed in England, to put in an appearance. He received a cordial re- ception and expressed himself gratified with the general excellence of the blooms. He was particularly impressed with three British varieties, Engel- inann's Carola, Burnett's Marmion and >>mith's Empire Day, which secured the jirize for the best vase in the show. .Fohn Evans, representing a ventilating apparatus factory in Indiana, also was a visitor and in addition to fixing up ■lis system at Rochford's big glass es- tablishment he is bringing it to the notice of other greenhouse firms in England, The interest of American growers 'loubtless will center on the class for the America cup, donated by the Amer- ican Carnation Society. This was of- fered for the best exhibit of three American varieties and was won by W. E. Wallace, of Eaton Bray, with May Day, Afterglow and Pink Delight. Among the other varieties of Amer- ican origin, and these made up a large part of the show, were Beacon, Presi- (lent, Sarah Hill, Victory, Winsor. Fair Maid, Robert Craig, White Perfection, Pink Delight, Winona, Aiystocrat, Eh- chantress and one or two others. These were all shown in good form. For the recognition of American va- rieties a new rule has been introduced and came into force for the first time. It reads: "All American raised novel- ties exhibited in competitive, and non- competitive exhibits, at each show to be judged by a special committee of six judges appointed yearly to act in conjunction with the floral committee; first-class certificates and awards of merit to be awarded according to the society's scale of points; no entries necessary; the names of the varieties and the raisers' names to be published each year in the 'Year Book,' but not the names of the exhibitors." The fol- lowing awards were made: First-class certificate to May Day; award of merit to Pink Delight; award of merit to Superior. The principal exhibitors were: W. H. Lancashire, Guernsey; C. F. Waters, Belcombe; A. F. Dutton, Iver, Bucks; W. H. Page, Hampton; S. Mortimer, Farnham; W. E. Wallace, Eaton Bray; C. Engelmann, Saffron Walden; G. Lange, B. E. Bell and H. J. Dunday. Dinner table decorations with car- nations were effective and formed a pleasing feature of the show, but in decorative baskets, bouquets, etc., the competition was somewhat limited. Bee. AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. F. Dorner & Sons Co., of Lafayette, Ind., has registered the following new carnations: Glorjosa (No. 42-06), a cross between two numbered seedlings; a magnificent shade of pure light pink; in growth it is a true commercial type; early and continuous flowering; excellent stem and calyx; has a working habit that produces quantities of blooms without a break; size, three and one-fourth inches and over. White Wonder, White Perfection x seedling under number; pure white; size, tliree and one-half inches and over; has all the White Perfection qualities, improved; larger flower, stronger stem, stronger growth; makes nearly double the size of plant in the same length of time, thereby greatly increasing its productiveness.

Hohenzollern and Crego asters for flowering at the time named can be sown from the beginning to the middle of July. They will germinate either outdoors or in a coldframe, where water is more conveniently applied when nec- essary. C. W.' Miami, Fla. — Edward Simmons, who represents the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture here, as head of the subtropical station, states that the gov- ernment will build a greenhouse here during the summer and will make other improvements. This will begin in July, he says, when the station is again in charge of the government. May Day. Afterglow. Pink DellRlit.

The plant with Mr. Elliott has proved an excellent grower and continuous bloomer, carrying plenty of 18-iiirh stems. The best proof to be had of its selling qualities is to be found in t!ie fact that it will be much more largi Iv grown at Madbury the coming seasdil. The plants, from which flowers are si ill being cut in large quantities, started lo produce in late September, and the r(.>e looks as though it might prove a good summer variety. W. N. Craig. FOR A BEGINNING. I want to grow a few roses this year and I Should like to know the best va- riety of white and pink for a beginner. I shall plant them on a solid bench, and I should like to know how many inches of soil is required, how far apart each way and what size plants I should get. J. E. S. Killarney and White Killarney are both good varieties and not difficult to grow. On a solid bench the depth of soil can range from four to six inches. The plants should have at least one foot of space each way, and fourteen inches is not any too much. The plants should be from 3-inch or 3i/>-inch pots. Ribes. THE NEW ROSE PRINCETON. The illustration gives an excellent idea of the new rose, Princeton, grown by Stockton & Howe, Princeton, N. J. This rose, which has been described in The Review, is so highly prized, both by the growers and by their commission merchants, Berger Bros., Philadelphia, that a wide 300-foot house will be de- voted to it next season. Size, color, vigor, freedom of bloom are all strongly in favor of the new aspirant. Should Princeton- make good, it is proposed to send it out in the spring of 1911. Fliil. APHIS ON OUTDOOR ROSES. I am sending you some leaves from a rambler rose bush. The plant is at- tacked by aphis. Is the discoloration caused by the aphis, or is it some fungi? Will nicotine clean off the aphis? Please give me some advice, so that I can bring the plant back to normal condi- tions. G. H. H. The attacks of aphis cause the leaves to become discolored in this way. Nico- tine extract diluted in water is an ex- cellent remedy to apply. Usually cans containing these give the proportions of water and nicotine to use. Whale Oil soap, one pound to eight gallons of ■water, kerosene emulsion, one part to twenty parts of water, and Ivory soap, one pound to eight gallons of water, are all excellent for controlling aphis. In applying use a syringe or force pump, and be sure to wet every portion of the plants. The aphis cannot be poisoned, but may be killed by contact with any of the solutions named. C. W. ROSE MRS. AARON WARD. A great attraction in some of the best Boston retail stores during the present season has been the beautiful new hybrid tea rose, Mrs. Aaron Ward, grown by William H. Elliott, of Brighton, Mass., at his big Madburj-, N. H., rose growing establishment. This rose, often erroneously called Mrs. Humphry Ward, was sent out by the French firm, Pernet-Ducker, in 1907, and was first listed in America by the E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., from whom Mr. Elliott procured his original stock. He planted it on a small scale, and during the season of 1908-9 sold it in small quantities in Boston. The color took people's fan- cies at once, so that a much larger lot was planted last summer, and some thousands are now growing and bloom- ing profusely at Madbury, N. H. The color of the flower can best be described as a rich Indian yellow, occa- sionally suffused or washed with salmon rose. The flower is full and the petals are of excellent substance. Mr. Elliott has shipped consignments as far as Atlanta, Ga., where they were received in first-class shape. The foliage is note- worthy on account of its rich, shiny ap- IDENTITY OF ROSE. We send you the bloom of a rose wc^ wish to identify, thinking probably it is Vick's Caprice. This rose is pcM fectly hardy here in central Illinois, the bush from which this flower was cut having stood in the open for twenty years or more. A. & C. The rose sent by this correspondent is York and Lancaster, a very old Eng lish sort, which was scattered over this country some forty or fifty years ago. It has peculiar spreading habits; that is. it will branch off and come up from the roots and in this way become scattered. This rose is not grown or sold in this country any more at all, but you will find it described in most of the stand- ard works on roses. Good & Reese Co. ROSES CHANGING COLOR. A customer has had four pink rose bushes for the last seven years. This year I moved them to another place, and now they have changed their color to dark red. And a coppery yellow has changed to a cream color. Can you state why they change their color? J. D. P. Roses, no matter where planted, Rose Princeton. jiNF 23, 1010. The Weekly Florists' Review* 18 ghoiilti come the same color each year. Brilliant sunshine fades out colors and sliaily locations prevent fading out. (Vrtain soils intensify colors, but never to I lie extent of turning a pink into a ilaik red. In dull weather outdoor rosi>s have a higher color than under biiu'hter conditions. Is it not possible tliiit the infljience of sunlight may be .u(i)antable for the pinks having a (It'i j>er shade? Similarly, the coppery (oliiied one will probably become deep- er colored, as it becomes established. A|>.ut from sporting, there is no reason whs- roses should change their color, iirnl the sporting is not likely to affect wlidli" bushes. C. W. THE TEMPLE SHOW. The Temple show, the great horticul- tuial event of the year in London, scciiis this year to have surpassed even its former great record. The leading iiuiserymen and gardeners of England and a few from the continent of Europe brought together the finest l)lants and flowers that cultural skill can produce. They were arranged in spa- cious marquees and in open-air groups ill the Temple gardens, right in the cen- ter of London. Every available inch of spai-e was occupied with exhibits, many of them of such merit as has never pre viously been seen in Europe. The main features were magnificent colloftions of orchids, grand banks of multicolored and many-shaped blooms, baffling description; roses in grand pro- fusion, especially ramblers; choice car- nations, superb tuberous begonias and numerous rock-gardens and Japanese gardens. Notable orchid growers, such as San- der «S: Sons, Bruges; Charlesworth & Co., Hay ward Heath; Mansell & Hatch- er, Rawdon, and Ch. Vuylsteke, Ghent, surpassed all previous efforts. In the collection of the last named some of the specimens were valued at £1,200 each, and a special policeman stood guard "ver them day and night. The banks and bowers of roses in pots were undoubtedly a grand feature. Hie best collections were contributed •>.v W. Paul & Son, Waltham Cross; G. I'aiil, Cheshunt; Hobbies, Ltd., Derc- 'lani; G. Mount & Son, Canterbury, and Alex. Dickson & Sons, Ltd., Newtown- ards. The first three were noteworthy <"i account of the fine profusion of lairiblers in each, many of them tall **tiii(lards with huge heads, carrying "lasses of bloom, such as Hiawatha,^ Co- M'i"ia, Delight, American Pillar, Ex- '••'l^a. etc. The last named, in the col- J'''fi(in of Paul & Sons, received an •'^^"id of merit. A similar award was «'; " to Duchess of Westminster, in 'i' Kson's collection, a rich mauve pink '>l'ri(l tea, with large, smooth petals, '''"i.irkably fine culture and exquisite •'"angement were demonstrated in '\l"'int '8 pyramidal groups of Fran '^:iil Druschki, Mrs. John Laing, Ul- ,' , . ^"""nner and Lady Hillingdon, the I'w yellow at present in great demand.

This week opened with business a little better, school and college commence- ments and graduation exercises being mainly responsible for the improve- ment, but by Tuesday, June 21, the heat reached 93 degrees and the market weakened again. Last week was, on the whole, a poor one. The weather was damp and disagreeable nearly every day and many outdoor flowers had a speckled and spotted appearance. Roses had a poor week, but from now on their num- bers should rapidly dwindle, with grow- ers pulling out crops preparatory to re- planting. Carnots continue popular, as do Killarrieys. Beauties of good quality sell well, but they are not plentiful. Bride and Maid still hang fire. Out- door hybrid perpetuals, such as Jacque- minot and Luizet, are coming in and are a welcome addition; they sell well. Carnations are moving moderately well, but a great proportion of the flow- ers arriving are of poor quality and dear at almost any price. Outdoor sweet peas have been affected by the constant (kimpness prevailing, whites especially coming badly spotted. Good Spencers still bring $1 per hundred, but there are quite a few poor indoor flowers arriv- ing. Peonies are at their flood tide. Good white and pink flowers have sold read- ily, but for the red and purple shades there is little call. There are plenty of good gladioli, lilies and stocks. Lily of the valley is enjoying an unusually good sale, thanks to numerous weddings. Of these latter Boston has an extra heavy crop at present. Such hardy flow- ers as sweet-williams, digitalis, etc., are in light demand. There has been a good trade in asparagus and adian- tum. Club Meeting. Ladies' night June 21 attracted an attendance of 250 and all present had an enjoyable evening. Four new mem- bers were elected. The solos of Miss Margaret Alexander were specially well rendered and enthusiastically encored, but the other soloists, John Miller and George Collins, had a warm welcome. Dance? by Misses Ferguson and Boyd were a great hit. The committee on S. i^. F. national show entertainment reported favorable to a banquet. There seemed to be some doubt, however, as to the wisdom of this on account of the impossibility of securing a fully repre- sentative attendance on any one day. The Rochester convention was boomed; a good delegation is certain. Well wishes were enthusiastically voted Mrs. E. M. Gill on the occasion of her eightieth birthday. The coming club picnic at Pine Banks park, July 27, was boomed and contri- butions for special prizes are coming in well for it. Short addresses were made by several members, including one of farewell from E. 0. Orpet, who leaves for Lake Forest. 111., July 1. Other speakers were Messrs. Stewart, West- wood, Wheeler, Downs, Miller and others. 12 The Weekly Florists^ Review* I '.Mil FOR A BEGINNING.

Kefreshments, consisting of ice cream, strawberries, cake, etc., were served. The club will hold its next meeting September 20. Various Notes. The sympathy of a host of friends goes out to George Gordon, head gar- dener on the Dudley L. Pickman estate, Beverly Cove, Mass., in the loss of his daughter, Mabel, by drowning in Jamai- ca Pond, Boston, June 17. The deceased young lady was 29 years of age and graduated from Wellesley college a few years ago. She had gone to a Jamaica Plain hospital for treatment for nervous troubles a week before the drowning and destroyed herself, it is thought, while temporarily unbalanced. The body was recovered from forty feet of water and had been heavily weighted down with stones. Mr. Gordon is a member of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club and one of the most respected members of the profession in the neigh- borhood of Boston. He has the sym- pathy of everyone in his sad bereave- ment. A successful flower and fruit show was held in Milton, June 18, roses, peonies, irises, miscellaneous hardy per- ennials, shrubs and strawberries being features. J. K. M. L. Farquhar and W. N. Craig officiated as judges. Charles Evans is one of the latest to get the automobile fever and talks of disposing of horses and teams in favor of a horseless vehicle. W^ F. Chase, the popular salesman for Julius H. Zinn, is enjoying a needed vacation at Ogunquit, Me. A. G. Lake, of Wellesley Hills, has a new forcing tomato, which for crop- ping qualities and perfectly shaped fruit will take a lot of beating. Charles E. Robinson, of H. M. Robin- son & Co., has been busy handing out cigars during the last week. It is a fine boy this time. Miss Lillie Mary Neil, the eldest daughter of Samuel Neil, the well known Dorchester florist, was married at the home of her parents, .501 Park street, June 22, the fortunate bride- groom being William Thornton Decker, of New Jersey. The house was beauti- fully decorated for the wedding and the happy couple were the recipients of a host of valuable presents. The annual rose show of the North Shore Horticultural Society will be held on Vine street, Beverly Farms, June 29 and 30. Many Bostonians will attend. Rain has fallen here on fourteen out of the last nineteen days, the aggre- gate precipitation being six inches. Trees, shrubs and lawns never looked more luxuriant and, while the continual dampness has greatly hindered the ex- tensive spraying operations, it has been unfavorable for the hatching of insect pests, for which we are duly thankful. Charles E. Robinson and William Penn are among those who are planning European trips at an early date. R. & J. Farquhar & Co. have a grand display of peonies at their Dedham nurseries at present. The collection in- cludes a choice lot of Richardson seed- lings, in addition to some fine ones of their own raising. In the Arnold Arboretum at present the display of Kalmia latif olia at the base of Hemlock Hill is unusually fine. Syringas of the Lemoinei varieties are also beautifully flowered. E. J. Shaylor, of Wellesley Hills, in his extensive peony collection has a charming pure white named Le Cygne, one of Lemoine's newest introductions. His own seedling, Georgianna Shaylor, is also grand. Miss Mary Florence Pettigrew, daugh- ter of J. A. Pettigrew, was married at the home of her parents June 18 to George Wright Hinckley, of New "York. Quite a number of local prominent horti- culturists were iircluded among the Th« Kdltor Is pleased when « Reader presents his Ideas on any subject treated In As experience Is the best teacher, so do we learn fastest by an ezchance of experiences.

WK BHAIX BK GLAD TO HXAR TBOM TOU guests. The newly married couple were well remembered by a host of friends. Mrs. E. M. Gill, of Medford, will celebrate her eightieth birthday June 28. Mrs. Gill was a prize winner at the recent peony exhibition. Visitors last week included W. J. Bean, of Kew, England, a noted writer and authority on hardy plants, and George W. Strange, of Summit, N. J. W. N. Craig. LOUISVILLE, KY. The Market. Last week was commencement week with us. Everybody had his share of work and is well satisfied. There are a few complaints of how flowers are han- dled at the theaters by those who take care of them. It is truly a shame how bouquets and baskets are piled up and walked over by indifferent stage help. It is time for the florists to get to- gether and try to arrange some plan with the school board or those that have charge of each commencement to take proper care of flowers for these occasions. It certainly does not do the florist any good to have a basket or bouquet, which he has taken great pains to make, sent on the stage looking as if it had been through a threshing mill. It is too late for any remedy this year, but it is none too early foi the next year, while things are still iresh in the minds of all concerned. Besides the Kentucky Society of Florists may take a hand in this most impoitant subject, which affects both grower and retailer. June is certainly proving true to its name as the month of weddings. A few good ones have taken place every Moek and some nice ones are booked foi the latter part of the month. -Sweet peas figure prominently for these, altliough white roses and valley are the best bet for the bride. Peas were a little scarce the first part of the week, but after Wednesday they were plentiful. Almost everybody has bundles of them, and the prices have taken a tumble. Roses are in fairly good shape, but the warm weather is telling on them. Carnations are more than plentiful; the heat is also getting the best of them. Outdoor stock, such as phlox, iris, sweet will iams, etc., is arriving regularly. Out door ramblers were never prettier liere than this season, and some remarkable plants are to be seen.

Marysville, Cal. — The Marysville Flower & Seed Store, conducted for sev- eral months by J. W.

Calvert, a successful vegetable grower in the Hot Springs district, has let a contract for a $5,000 greenhouse. D. E.

You get them. We both have them. Collections in the trade are reported slow. Those who have their money com- ing from the public should get after it before vacation time. Why not start now to grow some stock for wholesaling? Why be content with a local trade when there is easy access to the florists of the entire country? The fertilizer markets are reflecting in prices a seasonable slackening in de- mand. Bone meal, which was in short supply, is beginning to seek a market. F. R. PiERSON says everything points toward the National Flower Show at Boston next March being the most suc- cessful exhibition ever held in this country. >i0T a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Beview $2, .$3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar bill that insures fifty- two copies. Wertheimer Bros., New York, wired the change of copy for their advertise- ment in last issue of The Beview and the telegraph operator made the word distributors read contributors, thereby obscuring their meaning. AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY. The oflicers of the American Gladi- olus Society are extremely busy these days. The large volume of inquiries and requests for membership applica- tion blanks demonstrates the great popularity of the gladiolus and the de- mand for such a society. The interest in this movement is not confined to America, for two of the great specialists of Europe are among our charter members, and our first meet- ing, at Boston, developed a strong senti- ment for an international society. There is much encouragement in the fact that the amateurs have taken hold of this movement enthusiastically. This was evidenced by the large enrollment of amateurs on the charter list at the Bos- ton meeting. Since I sent in the list of prizes of- fered last week for the Bochester exhi- bition, the following have been re- ceived: Stumpp & Walter Co., New York, $10 in gold for the best twelve shades in any variety. Weeber & Don, New York, $10 in gold for the best ten varieties, to in- clude Baron Hulot, Princeps and Con- trast, three spikes each. A. L. Miller, Brooklyn, $5 in gold for best display of pink and white varieties, three spikes each of at least six vari- eties. F. B. Pierson, Tarrytown, N. Y., $10 in gold, the class to be decided later. E. H. Cushman, Sylvania, O., $5 in gold for vase of best twenty-five spikes, white, any variety. A. T. Boddington, New York, $10 in gold, the class to be decided later. John Lewis Childs, Floral Park, N. Y., $10 in gold for best collection of gladioli, Childsii varieties, three spikes each, to include Attraction, Blanche, Cardinal and Wild Bose. Also $5 in gold for best vase of America, not ]( ss than twelve spikes. I. S. Hendrickson, Floral Park, N. Y., $5 in gold for best vase of Contrast, imt less than twelve spikes. J. M. Thorburn & Co., New Yoik. silver cup for best collection of gladioli' Primulinus type and hybrids, exhibitid by an amateur. L. Merton Gage, Cor. Sec'y. WHEN IN DOUBT— Ask The Beview. "We believe in 'When in doubt, ask The Beview,' so we are bothering you with a question." It is from a reader who hasn't access to certain trade rec- ords. But it isn't any "bother" to The Beview to answer legitimate ques- tions. A live trade paper must neces- sarily have in its files and indexes a fund of information not required in the conduct of an ordinary business, and the thing The Beview likes best to do is to help its readers. Q. — Kindly give us the name of the manufacturers of tiles for greenhouse benches. Ans. — Probably the bench you have in mind is the one made by the Camp Conduit Co., 718 Garfield building, Cleveland, O. This is the flat tile bench used quite largely around Cleveland. Q. — Wish you would give me the ad- dress of the American Agriculturist. Ans. — 439 Lafayette street, New York city. Q. — Who makes recording thermom eters? Ans. — The Standard Thermom- eter Co., 6.5 Shirley street, Boston; Draper Mfg. Co., 152 Front street. New York city. Mention The Review when you write. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. Business ran downhill rapidly last week. The weather became excessively hot, which served to still further auj;- ment the heavy supplies of stock ami to deprive much of it of the fine quality which has been characteristic of the flowers in this market during the cool spring. Shipping trade continued fairly active, but it was necessary to sort over great quantities of stock to get out tli;' comparatively small quantities requirnl for the out-of-town orders. City buj-i ness of the better class became ex- tremely light, and the only outlet tor the great accumulation of soft carna- tions and open roses was through t!n' cheap-sales people. It was their har- vest time. They could buy the lower grade flowers at their own prices, anl there seems never a time when it is i"i- possible for these salesmen to do busi ness. For many weeks business in the Chi cago market had been running well ahead of previous records for corre- sponding weeks. Last week was almost the first one of the year when the money income has fallen below the rec- ord of the year before. This was gd erally the case, in spite of greater quantities of stock than the market ever before has had in mid-June. The heat brought on the local peonies with a rush, and it undoubtedly cost the Ji \F 23, IStlO.

Coming on so rapidly, it was impossible to cut the buds in shape for storage, thereby increasing the quantities of open flow- ers usually found on the market in the height of the peony season. The qual- ity also was below normal, because of frost injury, and the salability of the flowers was still further impaired by the enormous quantities of roses and carnations on the market at the same time. All the peonies that were in a condition for storage were put away in the freezer, but reports are to the effect that the quantity stored is not as great as other years, and that the quality of much of the stock is doubtful. Certainly it was a tough week for peonies. The local cut is now practi- cally ended, but receipts are coming in from the north. Practically all flowers shared with the j>eony the depression of last week. There was a fair demand for the best roses, but much of the stock was open and almost unsalable, (.'arnations did not have an equally good demand, and fared even worse than roses. There still are some really good carnations, but most of them are poor. Outdoor sweet peas have arrived to compete with the last of the indoor product and I)rices are at the lowest of the season. Gladioli, lilies and valley all accumu- lated. This week finds the market in much the same condition as last week. Grow- ers already are beginning to throw out unprofitable stock, and it is thought the heat will soon drive off the heavy crops, so that wholesalers are looking for a change for the better before many days have passed. The anticipated im- provement relates rather to decreased receipts and a somewhat better average grade of flowers than to any improve- ment in demand. Yet the prospect is thought to be for a better summer business than in any previous year, and preparations have been made for it. By general consent, the wholesale stores will close at 5 p. m. during July and August. As bearing on the general condition, one of the leading retailers states that his June business this year will not go much more than half what it was in the exceptionally good June of last year. The difference he attributes to the fact that his wealthiest customers, the steady buyers, went to Europe or their summer homes earlier this season than before. Various Notes.

The call for flowers for gradua- tions and weddings has exceeded all past records with them. C. A. Samuelson has had some good wedding orders this month.

Such places as the Busy Bee, at the corner pf State and Monroe streets, are veritable hives of activity. They can buy for $25 a wagonload of such stock as they re- quire, and are doing a big business. It is stated that this Busy Bee store pays $1,000 a month rent, and that the pro- prietor admits to having cleaned up and invested elsewhere $6,000 since the opening, less than two years ago. Invitations are out for the marriage of George Heidenreich and Elfrieda Prillwitz at St. Anne, 111., June 26. The groom is one of the old store employees of Bassett & Washburn, and Joseph Einweck, who will be his best man, is also employed there. C. M. Dickinson says that the Bouse of E. H. Hunt is more than pleased with the way the trade has taken to its latest specialty, the new brand of glazing putty. C. W. McKellar says the demand for orchids for weddings is keeping pace with the supply. Poehlmann Bros. Co. says the ship- ping demand is holding up much better than the city trade.

Summer has come on us all at once, ""'I naturally has a tendency to depre- '■'••te the value of flowers and reduce * 10 size of carnations and roses and rob tliem of their natural radiance. How- •"^ Pr, trade held up remarkably well last |^''ek, and no serious complaints are 'H'ing offered. Last week's business ^'•*s partly due to the commencement t'xercises, which cleaned out all red car- "Htions at 75 cents per dozen. The rose crop is quite abundant at present, but the exceedingly hot weath- er has had a telling effect on them, and in spite of a good demand some will spoil on our hands. My Maryland is quite a favorite among the trade at the present time, as it seems to withstand the hot weather remarkably well, and, at the same time, holds its color nicely. There is an overabundant supply of Lilium giganteum in the market at present, and although there is a fair de- mand for them, only a comparatively small quantity is kept on the move; as to quality, they could not be better. Lilium Melpomene and L. speciosum are also in stock, but not so plentiful; con- sequently none of them suffer. The de- mand for valley is good, probably due to the June weddings. The calla lily season is ended, as they have been turned down for their annual rest; in fact, we are beginning to feel the usual summer decline in practically all lines. Various Notes. The Miami Floral Co. had the order to furnish 2,000 red carnations and badges to be used in the large demo- cratic convention which was held in this city June 21 and 22.

WHOLESALE FLORISTS 1619-21 Ranstead St., PHILADELPHIA, PA. Me-tion The Review when you write. PHILADELPHIA. The Rising Eastern Market. The graduating class of the Girls' General High School in this city select- ed the American Beauty rose as the (dass flower. This selection will explain to would-be Beauty buyers why it was so extraordinarily difficult, it may be said to have been well-nigh imjwssible, to fill their orders for the queen of roses on the day preceding the longest of the year. The change from ideal shipping weather to a temperature higher, per- haps, than usual for the third week in June has made the work of the whole- salers extremely difficult. To get just the right kind of flowers in just the right condition is no easy matter when it is so awfully hot. The wholesalers have spared no effort to retain the con- fidence of their customers in other cities and where they have succeeded it has been a genuine triumph of judgment. Beauties and sweet peas have been strong factors in a rather dull market. The price of Beauties advanced on all fine stock, the demand far exceeding the suj)ply, Richmond coming in for a share of benefit from the excess Beauty or- ders. The supply of sweet peas in- creased enormously during the last half of the week ending with Wednesday, June 22, but where there was quality the demand nearly equaled the supply. Prices have, of course, fallen, but they ar^ fully up to those of former years at this season. When writing of other flowers the question of their condition on arrival in the city is an important factor. Some growers have the knack of getting their stock to market in the best possible condition — this certainly is a knack, with the work piling up as high as the thermometer. The changes in the rose market are the increased importance of My Maryland and Kaiserin, now rival- ing Killarney and its white sister in popular favor. Carnations have been seriously affect- ed by the warm wave. Only select stock of certain varieties, or the product of particularly skilful growers, is equal to shipping requirements. Peonies are still obtainable from cold storage and have helped many an ini portant decoration. Cattleyas are a little scarcer, with prices higher. Gaskelliana is the priu cipal variety. Gardenias have been in better demand. For some reason Easter lilies have not sold well just when it was expected they would be wanted for the weddings. Valley has been in good demand, while on certain days, notice ably on Saturday, June 18, there was :in excellent call for white flowers, for which pyrethrum, candytuft, whito sweet peas and white roses, which \>y the way have been scarce, were freely used. To sum up, the market is good for tlic season, the week a trifle ahead of tlie week preceding. Mr. Heacock's Plans. Philadelphia, or that part of the floral community whose business into ests are in the center of the city, will be interested in the plans of the Joscih Heacock Co. that are about being cmi ried into effect.

Cyclamens. fhe growing of cyclamens is an art. Anybody can grow a few fair, even Ki>od, plants, but it takes a real grower ^" produce fine cyclamens in quantity. '^ was with this thought that a repre- ^'iitative of The Review glanced with KPnuine pleasure over a number of ""uses of beautifully grown cyclamens <'"p afternoon this week. It is difficult to put into words the impression created by a well grown batch of these plants. They have a deep, lustrous green look, are short and stocky and wonderfully even when com- pared one with another. The science of cyclamen growing, as explained by an expert, consists firstly in getting good seed of a really choice strain; secondly in never allowing the seedlings to suffer for one moment after they come up — a check in cyclamens, as in many other things, means the difference between poor plants and good. The third and final point of importance is to get the plants in a certain condition when the blooming season is at hand. These three points are what may be called the past- master's guide and must not be con- founded with the rudiments of cyclamen growing, which are too well known to require description, I am indebted to Robert A, Craig for these ideas and if they are not properly expressed it is not his fault, but mine. The cyclamens that he has grown this season are superb. Various Xotes. .\niong the visitors in this city re- cently were J. Van Lindley, of Pomona, X.('.,and .lohn Paul, of Cumberland, Md. M.

Phil. NEW YORK. The Market. Prices for a limited quantity of the best of anything held last week, but when the early morning demand ceased the clean-up was made at about any offer, full slips of roses seldom going above $10 per thousand, and immense quantities later in the week going at half that price. Killarney and Kaiserin are abundant. The best carnations sold Saturday at $1 per hundred. The street men are making their last stand before leaving for their usual seashore fruit selling, so this source of relief is ovtir. There is no scarcity of anything, even orchids sharing in the general recession. Lilies are lower. "Valley has fallen to 2 cents for the best, and only the indoor sweet peas are now available. Peonies have departed. Stocks, snapdragons, etc., do not sell at all, not even for enough to pay express charges. Following the great storm of June 18, the menace of a market flooded with blooms of shrubs and roses is for the moment removed. The weddings are about all in. Wad- ley & Smythe drew the prize in the Roosevelt venture, and Beauties and orchids were the flowers. All the lead- ing retailers have had a satisfactory June to date, but there is nothing now to relieve the summer dullness. Every- body, wholesale and retail, has settled down to the inevitable quiet and re- cuperation of the holiday season. Public Market Seems Assured.

There was a large attendance, includ- ing members of the board of aldermen, property owners in the neighborhood of the proposed market, and florists, many of the prominent growers in addi- tion to those speaking being present. It developed that thfe principal opposition comes from the florists of Staten Island. Their objections were presented by the president of the borough of Richmond and by Florist Hunt, who declared the distance from the ferry made the project impossible for Staten Island growers. He said that if the city would build a market on the Canal street site he would guarantee a revenue of ten per cent on the investment. A. L. Miller, president of the New York Florists' Club; John Birnie, An- ton Schultheis and Attorney Siebrecht all made strong addresses in favor i the proposed market and the pro.ici i also was endorsed by several memboi-^ of the board of aldermen, by properi . owners in the neighborhood, and 1"' those interested in the improvement n' conditions on the east side. "T!i' greatest good to the greatest number was the argument. After the hearing it was stated tii;t the aldermanic committee in executivt' session voted to report favorably to tlu' full board of aldermen at its next meet ing. Various Notes.

The Forster Mansfield Co. is making and installing the big ice-box in George Saltford's new store. This company has several large contracts for florists, and has been forced to add a lumber yard to its conveniences. W. J. Elliott closed this season's auc- tion business with a big sale of palms, etc., June 21. There was a full house, and the veteran says the year's volume of sales is far in excess of any in his experience, while the attendance has fully doubled. The Astoria bowlers celebrated the close of their season with a theater party and dinner Saturday, June 18, seventeen of its members attending. The club 's team for Rochester will con- tinue practice. It will probably include W. Siebrecht, Sr., Donaldson, Miesem, Kessler and Siebrecht, Jr., with two or three reserves, including Einsman. The same evening H. E. Froment enter- tained the press at dinner and bowling. Sidney Nash, son of Jonathan Nash, and Miss Ferry were married June 15. The young folks are enjoying their hon- eymoon in Canada. Mr. Geller and his family have moved to their country home near Jamaica Bay for the summer. P. J.

Traendly & Schenck and Walter Sher- idan have not yet put in moving side- walks in their big new stores, but the offices do not seem as far from the doors as at first. Charles Millang lias fully recovered from his recent illness, and finds his cozy store on the ground floor of the Coogan building smaller than it should be for the volume of his trade. M. C. Ford 's new store will be com- pleted about July 1, and there then will be none more modern and convenient. Kessler Bros, will devote their atten- tion to their new place at Secaucus after July 1 and maintain only an office in the wholesale section until fall, when they will open their new plant store and wholesale cut flower business. They have been sending seedling ferns as far as Seattle, Wash. J. K. Allen has added to his force Charles Logan, formerly with John Young, of Bedford Hills.

I was more than pleased; I was surprised; I did not expect anything like such prompt an- swers. I had orders from Georgia, North Carolina, Illinois, New York, Massachu- setts and other states besides my own. I returned checks for at least $70 because I could not fill the orders brought by the advertisement. — E, Bushyager, Jeannette, Pa. ^^oA^n tJ^C'Tt^ ^^/Jte^tyk' 644 Madison Ave., Juat above FIftynlnth St. JOHN BREITMEYER'S SONS Corner Broadway and Qratlot Ave. DETROIT, MICH.

Writing from Gilroy, Cal., June 14, Waldo Rohnert had this to say of the condition of seed crops: "In regard, to present crop prospects will say that several weeks ago we had some very hot weather. The thermom- eter went up to 105 degrees and this was almost too much for some of the crops, especially on the high land. "Sweet peas were probably injured the most. I should estimate the loss at about twenty-five per cent. The crop will not be so large as was at first estimated, but I think, though, there will be enough to fill all orders. "Radish went out of bloom with the warm weather, but the stalk is still green. Many o^ the plants are loaded with pod and «eem to be filling nicely. The crop will, I think, be a fair one. "Lettuce, being a deep rooter, was not affected by the hot spell. The crop will be a good average. "Onion is looking fine. So far no damage has come that will interfere with a good, heavy yield. This crop, though, is not out of danger and will not be until the seed is in the bag. The weather at present is rather cool and we all hope for a cool summer." THE SEASON AT ROCKY FORD. "The season just closed has been a satisfactory one with us," says the Eb- bert Seed Co., of Rocky Ford, Colo. "Our mail-order and retail trade shows an increase of over 100 per cent over former seasons, while our growing con- tracts for vine seeds are ten times as heavy as in any previous year, with many inquiries and belated orders yet coming in. "The weather has been cool and un- favorable for the starting of vine cropB, '--I u ■ . . >■' - r.' •■• ■ "is :• <• ■■< ■'^■■<" ■ '>;''»^'.-,•■:■ J. C Robinson. (President of the American Seed Trade Association.) SO our growers have experienced con- siderable trouble in getting a stand. More replanting has been required than for several seasons. While crops are backward as a whole, we never had finer prospects and, with a favorable season, this district will make full de- liveries this fall." ATLANTIC CITY CONVENTION. Seed Trade in Annual Session. Members of the American Seed Trade Association to a goodly number, a larger proportion than usual being ac- companied by their wives and families, gathered at Atlantic City, N. J., June 21 for the twenty-eighth annual con- vention. It was an especially important meeting in the view of most of the members, because of the flood of seed legislation which has come upon the trade within the last two years, and which was the principal theme of dis- cussion. Only within the last few months has real progress been made in stemming the tide, but it was the con- sensus of opinion that the greatest men- ace has been overcome and that seed laws henceforth can be shaped toward uniformity and reasonableness. Seven years ago the association held a meeting at Atlantic City, at which time Walter P. Stokes, of Philadelphia, was tjie president, and S. F. Willard, secretary. Mr. Willard was then elected to the position of president, and he was highly commended by Mr. Stokes in in- stalling him to that office. Both these gentlemen are now away in Europe, it being perhaps the first meeting that Mr. Willard has ever missed. The weather throughout the dates of the meeting was delightful, and all other conditions favorable. There was a representative attendance, and under the leadership of J. C. Robinson, and the influence of his genial personality, every feature of the proceedings moved along smoothly and harmoniously. He called the association to order in the Hotel Strand and, "fter the usual formalities, delivered the presidential address, reviewing the prin- cipal events of the association's excep- tionally active year. It was one of the most comprehensive documents of the kind the association ever has listened to, and was received with warm applause. The address, as far as it pertainrl to the paramount issues, is printed in f"*" on following pages of this issue. Secretary's Report. Secretary C.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 39 Growth of the Seed Bean Industry in Southern California A Story of Forty Years From a contract calling for the de- livery of 100 bushels, the seed bean business on the Pacific coast has grown io orders aggregating several millions of pounds of choice hand-picked seed beans. To Henry Fish belongs the credit of inaugurating the great indus- try of growing seed beans in southern California. Starting away back in the 70 's, Henry Fish, senior member of the Henry Fish Seed Co., recently incorpo- rated, planted the first crop of Lima Beans to be sold for seed purposes, and he has been in the business continu- ously ever since, witnessing an infant industry develop into a great business. The beginnings of the industry are interesting; doubly so because they go back to the days when the agricultural possibilities of California were in the experimental stage. Gold had been dis- covered some twenty years or more be- fore, but the dream of the golden har- vests that were likewise to attract worldwide interest in California was only just beginning to take definite form in the minds of a few earnest work- ers. In the agricultural and horticul- tural world of California it was a period of discovery and adaptation. New fields of soil endeavor were opened up, and to the faith and works of the pioneers we owe much of our present-day develop- ment. The Beginning The growing of the Lima Bean as a field crop had its humble beginning in the year 1872. In the fertile Carpin- teria Valley one Robert McAllister tried it as an experiment. It worked. The soil was of virgin richness, the months between seed time and harvest were without rain, so no "poling" was necessary and all danger of rotting done away with. Coming to Carpinteria about that time, Henry Fish became at once interested in the new crop. In an east- ern state he had tasted the succulent legume and as a storekeeper . had sold packages of Lima Bean seed to his cus- tomers, and his mind was quick to grasp the possibilities of bean growing under the seemingly perfect conditions met ^"ith in this new country. D. M. Ferry is Interested Writing to D. M. Ferry & Co., the great seed house of Detroit, whose seeds he had handled in the East, he secured a contract to furnish them in the fall with 100 bushels of seed beans. So interested was the firm in the opening up of the new venture that D. M. Ferry vis- ited in person the new field of operations, *nd the totally different conditions under which the new crop was to be raised aroused the keenest interest and curiosity of the seedsman. The faith ?f Mr. Fish in the future of the Lima Bean never wavered, and his early .ludgment has been more than vindi- cated by the test of years of growing the Lima Bean. In no other spot do tney grow under such ideal conditions. The result of the first year's venture was so satisfactory to both grower and buyer that a second contract followed, and since then, for thirty-five years, Henry Fish has had among his contracts a yearly one from D. M. Ferry & Co. for seed beans. This is a high tribute to the integrity of the seeds sent out by Mr. Fish from year to year. The Day's of Hard Labor The days of the first crops were in the time when machines and labor-sav- ing devices for the ranch and ranch work were but little known. When dry, the beans were placed in an enclosed corral. A vaquero drove a bunch of wild ponies around on them to tramp them out, doing the work of the mod- ern threshing machine, and a hand fan- ning machine was used for cleaning the beans. Methods of handling the beans changed, but the same painstaking care to produce dependable seeds that char- acterized the first crops raised by Henry Fish was exercised year after year and has become one of the cardinal prin- ciples of the Henry Fish Seed Co. Per- haps in no other business does the re- liability or dependability play so im- portant a part as it does in the seed business. Good and poor seeds may not look so dissimilar, and that is why the integrity of the man behind the seeds counts for so much. The natural ex- planation of the growth of the seed bean business of Henry Fish is found here. A look at the different varieties of beans is interesting. Of Lima Beans alone the Henry Fish Seed Co. handles some twenty or more varieties, and they handle a larger number of varieties of Kidney Beans. Each variety has its special points which differentiate it from all others. A number of new va- rieties are of recent introduction, and mark an epoch-making advance in bean values. The Henry Fish Seed Co. has been foremost in originating and intro- ducing new and superior varieties. Now the mere fact of introducing a new va- riety is not in itself a great achieve- ment. The new candidate, to win rec- ognition and favor and enjoy wide- spread popularity and sale, must be an improvement over all others in its class or type. Valuable New Sorts Nor does the originating of a new variety come through luck or accident. Few people realize that it often takes years of patient and intelligent work to produce a new variety of value. A number of years ago Henry B. Fish, general manager of the new firm, while removing strays and sports from the growing crop, round several plants that, from his expert knowledge of beans, seemed to embody latent possibilities. Experiments were made. A process of rigid rejection and selection took place, and as a monument to his genius, which is " capacity for taking pains," three new and splendid types of Lima Beans have been given to the world. Burpee's Improved and Ford hook Bush Limas and the Carpinteria Pole Lima all originated on the trial grounds of the Henry Fish Seed Co. A hint of the value of these new varieties is given when it is said that the first carload of Burpee's Improved and Fordhook Bush Limas sent to the eastern seed house that bought them constituted the most valuable carload of seed beans ever shipped from California — that is to say, they were the highest priced beans ever sent east from this coast. More Good Things in Prospect Some promisiijg varieties are now in the development stage and will be heard from later, if past achievements of the Henry Fish Seed Co. are any criterion. On account of their success in produc- ing valuable new varieties, eastern seedsmen, when they find what they think will be the start of an improved variety, frequently send it to the Henry Fish Seed Co. to be developed. Every precaution is taken to preserve types, even after they are established, and even in fields of old and established varieties grown on contract for the Henry Fish Seed Co., the fields are gone over during the growing season and in- ferior plants, sports, and beans of other varieties weeded out. A Model Warehouse Last year this firm found their busi- ness to be so much greater than their facilities for handling it that a new warehouse was imperative. Their years of familiarity with the needs and re- quirements of the seed business have enabled the firm to bring to bear in the new building a knowledge of warehouse construction that has resulted in a seed house that is a model of convenience and which admits of the quickest dis- patch in handling the seed beans. In- deed, there is not on the coast another seed bean warehouse that embodies so many features of merit. Personnel of the FishXirm An interesting feature of the new firm just incorporated lies in the fact that it is strictly a family firm. Henry Fish is founder and president of the new company. Two sons, Henry B. Fish, who is treasurer and general man- ager, and Thomas N. Fish, who is vice- president, have been brought up in the business and by heredity and environ- ment may be said to know beans. Henry B. Fish has charge of the warehouse business, and Thomas N. Fish manages the seed farm. Hester S. Fish, who is secretary, and Julia Fish, the assistant secretary, are members of the new firm and daughters of the founder. Juliette G. Fish, the wife of the veteran seeds- man, completes the list of stockholders. It has always been the habit of these seedsmen to welcome visitors, and east- em seedsmen on their rounds of crop inspection often stop off at Carpinteria and are hospitably received. A visit to the warehouse in the fall and winter, when the busy season is on, is an edtl- cating experience quite worth while. 38 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ June 23, 10 1 Seed Trade News AHEBICAN KKEI) TKADK ASSOCIATION.

The following new members were ele complete or accurate measure of the actual value of seeds to the user there- of. Many other qualities enter into the value of seeds, such as color, size, locality of production, trueness to type, excellence of strain, etc. These consid- erations make it manifestly unjust to iiUow the term "United States stand- ard'' to be applied indiscriminately to all classes of seeds of certain varieties Avhich might reach certain standards of purity and germination. It is believed that under conditions where the apparatus and methods for making testa are only now in process of evolution and not by any means per- fect, no legislation should restrict or prohibit exportation of any class of seeds having commercial value in any foreign country. For example, there jire climates and countries where dodder does not thrive and there is no sound reason, either commercial or moral, for absolutely prohibiting exportation on such seeds. On the contrary such pro- liibition would tend to cause such seed to be resown within our own country. If the original Mann bill had become a law it would have absolutely disor- .-ranized all existing methods of handling the seed business. If any large propor- tion of the many state laws proposed had passed it would have had the same result. But the prospects are that fu- ture state laws will be guided by a system and this is ardently to be hoped for. Charles N. Page, vice-chairman in charge of state seed legislation, in his report dealt with the state aspect. He declared that seed dealers have never seriously objected, as a class, to reason- able legislation which was intended to serve a good purpose, but most of the earlier bills introduced were unjust, ill- considered and unfair and therefore met merited condemnation, as the proposers of such bills showed ignorance of con- ditions under which the seed tr;.de is conducted and it would have been ab- solutely impossible for seed dealers to carry out the provisions in many cases. But the seed trade protests against any legislation which would make criminals of honest men who are engaged in a reputable and useful calling and who are willing at all times to assist in the preparation of reasonable legislation. Dues Increased. In order to carry out the work al- ready under way, it was proposed to raise the annual dues to $20, double the former dues. This was amended to $15 and adopted. Various Reports. For the committee on customs and tariffs, J. C. Vaughan, chairman, re- ported that he had received no com- plaints as to the workings of the pres- ent Payne law, though average advance in duties is probably thirty to thirty- five per cent over what was paid on the ad valorem basis. The customs opera- tions as to seed importations are being handled with less friction than ever before. No reports came from the committee^ on irrigation of old eastern farms oi the committee to confer with nursery men and florists. The auditing committee, Simeon F Leonard, John W. May and Harve} Mixson, reported books correct. Delegates to the National Council ol Horticulture presented a report through Secretary Kendel showing continued good work and progress, and the usual sum of $200 was voted for the use ot the press bureau of the National Councii of Horticulture in the interest of seed trade. National Board of Trade. Albert McCuUough, one of the dele gates to the National Board of Trade, the other being W. Atlee Burpee, of Philadelphia, presented their report in part as follows: "It is the aim of the National Board of Trade, of which the American Seed Trade Association is a constituent member, to keep all of the trade bodies supporting the Washington headquarters informed of what is going on. This will enable every commercial organization in the United States to come in direct con- tact with the various committees of Congress to arrange for hearings be- fore committees of the House of Repre- sentatives and Senate and cooperate with respective committees of National Board of Trade so that opinion and in- fluence of business men of the country may be exerted during entire session , of Congress. The transportation inter- ests, conservation of national resources, diplomatic and consular service, bank- ing and currency, renewal of trade treaties and political affairs are among the important questions and subjects taken up at the last meeting. Mr. Frank D. La Lanne, president National Board of Trade, has been appointed by Secretary of State Knox as delegate to represent the United States at the fourth international congress of Cham- bers of Commerce and commercial and industrial associations to be held in London, England, June 21 to 23, 1911. The questions to be taken up by the congress are many and all of national interest. W. Atlee Burpee has been appointed a member of the council and Albert McCullogh one of the managers on the National Board of Trade. The National Board of Trade under Presi- dent La Lanne is taking on new life and, through its commissioner, Mr. An- derson, its work will be felt this com- ing year more than ever before. The American Seed Trade Association is at libeity at all times to call upon th'' commissioner for information as to whal is going on in Congress and in this w?-v keep posted and properly advised when there is any bill introduced in whicli we are directly interested." Committees Appointed. Charles H. Breck, C. 3, Coy and W. F. Jones were appointed as an obituary committee. j Charles H. Breck, E.-L. Page and C F Wood were named as a committee on recommendations in president 's address. Papers Bead.

Woods, of Orono, Me. Seed laws, seed testing and seed breed- ing came in for an unusual share of at- tention. Tlie papers were: "Kecent Science in Plant and Animal Breeding," by the Hon. W. M. Hays, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. "Methods and Apparatus for Seed Testing by Seed Merchants, ' ' by George H. Clark, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Can.

' ' Past, Present and Prospective of the Seed Trade in America," by Francis Brill, Henipstead, N. Y. Development of Varieties. Commenting on the paper of W. Atlee Burpee, on the Spencer sweet pea, W. W. Tracy said : " Tt is especially inter 2sting because it brought out some prin- ciples of seed growing which are not generally recognized, namely, that there is a gradual development in a species as a result of which we have a sudden break in varietal character. Such breaks may occur in a number of dif- ferent locations, identical in each case, the same variation, and when occurring it is comparatively easy to establish an entire new race based on such varia- tion. The same principle is illustrated as developed in the case of beans, where there is an occurrence of the dwarf form of lima beans which was previous- ly unknown and in a single year devel- oped in a number of different places and from a number of different varieties the same dwarf habit. Grass Seed Dealers Meet. The Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers' Association, organized last year at Niag- ara Falls, held a meeting at Atlantic City after the adjournment of the Seed Trade Association on the evening of June 21, Albert McCullough in the chair, and a large representation of its mem- bership being present. Secretary C. F. Wood's report of the year's work showed the new organization to be get- ting under good headway. Directors elected June 22 for three years were: Chas. D. Boyles, Chicago; John A. Smith, Toledo; A. E. Reynolds, Crawfordsville, Ind. Hospitalities. The annual banquet was held as usual, on the evening of the second day of the LEONARD SEED CQ.

It has been the good fortune of the American Seed Trade Association to have had many presidents who put into its work much thought backed by abil- ity, but seldom has the occupant of its chair given the convention a stronger document than the address of President Robinson, presented at the Atlantic City convention June 21. It contained over 5,000 words. In its more important fea- tures it was as follows: President Bobinson prefaced his pa- per with a word as to the prosperous condition of the trade and with ref- erence to the year's necrology. Then he said: "The last year has been a somewhat strenuous one in matters of public pol- icy afifecting our business; while we nave been trying to attend strictly to our own affairs, and in a law-abiding and honorable manner, yet the public eye has been on us, and it is evident that the public intends sooner or later to have a word to say in the conduct of our affairs. Between legislation that has been offered and a new interpreta- tion or ruling of an old law, we have oepn kept busy in sustaining the prin- ciple of our association, 'The Advance- ment and Protection of the Interests of the Seed Trade.' The Official Seed Analysts. A year ago there was organized an association known as the Association of Official Seed Analysts. The object of this, in matters of interest to us, was to secure a more uniform analysis of ^eejl and to assist in securing uniform ^gislation. Our association appointed * committee to meet these gentlemen ^nd to confer with them on points of ''Mutual interest, the most important of ^hich was seed legislation. Chas.

As the date chosen was near the time when it was customary for the executive committee to meet and ar- range for the annual convention, and as several members of the executive committee were also members of the other committees, it was decided to call a meeting of this committee at the same place December 28. As the Whole- sale Seedsmen's League and the Whole- sale Grass Seed Dealers' Association were also represented, the meeting was a well attended and most important one. "Prof. Woods presided at the con- ference, and I cannot pass this point without mentioning the spirit of fair- ness and equity in which he met our members. The meeting was inspired by a desire on the part of each to learn of the other, and to search for that happy medium of proposed legislation that on the part of seed analysts would protect the public against unscrupulous and fraudulent dealers, and against all sale of pernicious and noxious seed to an innocent purchaser, and yet would allow the seedsman latitude enough to secure his unmilled stocks, and, after proper preparation, to place them on the market, on their merits, without be- coming a criminal in the eyes of the law.

On the other hand, its pro- visions were agreed to by the very men in whose hands the protection of the .J)eople lay. r,,.^ t '^AJ t^^^^^ TffiifQxm Laws., "Doubtless the uniform law might be more acceptable with some slight changes, but, considering that bills of- fered in some of the states would prac- tically put the seedsmen out of business, if enacted into laws, we can welcome this proposed uniform law as being one that we can comply with as honorable business men, without jeopardizing our business or disturbing our conscience!. I therefore wish to urge upon our mem- bership that every effort be made, where legislation can not be avoided, to see that we have such legislation as will eventually become uniform through- out the various states and that will be along the line of the Boston bill. If bills are introduced, offer this as a sub- stitute and see that the lawmakers are supplied with copies. "It looked at one time as though our busy national legislators would have their hands so full that such a minor thing as national seed legislation would be overlooked. If pure food laws have been good, then pure seed laws should be equally good, and just as easy to comply with, in the opinion of some, even if one does represent an entirely manufactured article and the other is one of nature's products. Congressman James R. Mann, whose bills have been before us at other times, prepared a draft of a bill that was printed by con- gress, and then, ac.cording to promise, submitted to Mr. QreeD, chairnum of Our legislative committee, for his criti- cism. Some of its provisions were such that it seemed best to call the legisla- tive committee together for consulta- tion. This was done, the committee and some others meeting in Chicago, at La Salle hotel, February 9, 1910. The work done there was only secondary in im- portance to that accomplished at the Boston meeting, and will be fully re- ported by Mr. Green. ' ' Those of you who have followed the work of these committees during the last year will readily see the amount of time and thought that has been ex- pended in the work for the trade in general, but more especially for the association, and your thanks are surely due these gentlemen." Speaking of the tariff, President Rob- inson expressed the trade's satisfaction with the principle of specific duties em- bodied in the present law. The Association's Attorney. "At our last annual convention, re- sponding to a strong demand of circum- stances amounting to a necessity, this association employed counsel from April J, 1909, to July 1, 1910. It is hardly necessary to repeat what those circum- stances were, because not only the offi- cers of our association but also indi- vidual members were more or less justly alarmed by the wave of so-called pure g|i^_ legislation which was sweeping niMilgh the4©|Milative halls of tha vari- ous states. So many of these"^eei bills appeared unreasonable, and showed 46 The Weekly Florists^ Review* June 23, 191C. such lack of understanding of the na- ture of seeds and the sale thereof, that something had to be done; first, to ob- tain early information about these bills, and, second, to secure competent legal advice. Then, again, it was conceived to be of advantage to individual seeds- men to have an attorney acquainted with and constantly increasing his knowledge of the technical features of our business, and to supply legal advice to these members without charge. By this service, which I am confident that no other association outside of the seed trade gives to its members, it was hoped to further the objects and benefits of this association. The duties of counsel were, therefore, twofold; namely, legis- lative information and advice, and con- fidential legal advice to members. "That suitable data might be ob- tained upon which our president might base his calculations, reports were asked and filed with the president and secretary. Of course, counsel's services to members, being confidential, were not, either as to persons or the nature of advice, reported. ' ' President Eobinson then went on to show how heavy had been the work put upon counsel, how promptly and effect- ively it had been done and how valu- able to every seedsman had been the results. Then he said: "On the showing of results obtained from employment of our counsel during the last year, not mentioning the evi- dent possibilities of future benefits to be secured from an attorney who is proving himself interested in our cause, I strongly recommend retaining the same attorney for another year. I fur- ther call attention to the fact that during this next year the legislatures of about thirty-six states convene, and it is not unreasonable to believe that many seed bills will be introduced. "In connection with this legislative service I desire to call the convention's attention to several matters which de- serve attention and possibly action. Supplementing the Attorney's Work. * ' During the last year counsel has re- ported the introduction of seed bills to all members of this and allied associa- tions in each state in which a bill was filed. While I recommend the continu- ance of this policy, I suggest the ad- visability of perfecting this scheme by the election, or preferably the appoint- ment by the president or executive com- mittee, of some association member in each state, on whom the responsibility of seeing that action is taken in regard to these bills will rest. During the last year our counsel has been uncertain to whom to address necessary reports and recommendations. Seedsmen have ex- pressed a hesitancy in taking any re- sponsibility in acting for other seeds- men. While of course important ques- tions could be submitted by this, let us say, state legislative chairman, much of the always necessary routine and initia- tive work could be promptly and effi- ciently performed by this chairman. This recommendation is simply one to perfect an organization, much of the routine work being performed by the counsel. "Another matter I call to your atten- tion is the advisability of some arrange- ment whereby, in necessary cases,; the local state chairman or aeedsmen in a state may have the benefit of the asso- ciation's counsel at their capitol.

During the past legisla- tive season he was asked to assist seeds- men by appearing before committees, but it was not convenient for local seedsmen to pay counsel's traveling ex- penses and per diem fee. I can under- stand how, in some extreme cases, it might be best to send counsel to a state or to be in attendance upon our legisla- tive committee. Perhaps some arrange- ment could be made whereby the local seedsmen and the association could di- vide or, in the case of our legislative committee, could pay these expenses. Naturally the discretion in such cases, in so far as the association is concerned, would rest in the proper officers or com- mittees of our association. "It has been customary to pay the traveling expenses of the executive committee, less $10, but no provision has yet been made to care for the ex- penses of other important committees." President Robinson then showed the reasons for which the executive commit- tee had recommended increasing the dues to $20 a year. The Opaque Packages.

The Disclaimer or Non-Warranty. "The value of our disclaimer has been brought forcibly to your attention during the last year by the ruling of Judge McHenry, of the Iowa District Court, in a case entitled A. A. Geil vs. loypa Seed Co., in which the court en- tirely upheld our disclaimer. "That you sell seed with an absolute non-warranty clause does not prevent your trying to rectify all mistakes that can reasonably be traced to you, but the average planter .■yvrill always try to throw his own blunders on your shoul- ders, and it is therefore necessary to surround yourself with safeguards against unjust claims, as well as against the mistakes of others. The disclaimer is like a good insurance policy that serves you in time of trouble. Protect your . business by having it displayed prominently in your stores, on your bill- heads, labels, etc. Its uniform wording cannot be urged too strongly. When the courts have once passed on the phrase- ology of a non-warranty clause, it be- comes a precedent and authority for future decisions." President Bobinson then addressed himself to the subject of irrigation, and expressed his hope that the project broached by Capt. Landreth last year will be pushed through. ,|.. Long Term Credits.

Mention The Review when you -write. custom that prevails among the seed trade, and which seems entirely unnec- essary. It is the long term credit on garden seeds. There really is no reason for this custom, more than there is for long time on grass or field seeds. All start out from the initial point, the farmer, on the same terms, i. e., cash. Where is the dividing point that throws one into the cash ledger and the other into the June 1 ledger? It may give the old, well-established house a little advantage that his newer competitor finds hard to meet, but the dealer to whom such time is extended, if worthy of the credit, will take advantage of the liberal discount offered for cash, and thus cut down a profit that is none too large at the best, while the firms taking advantage of the long time will show entirely too large a percentage of actual losses. This is a relic of the old days, out of line with present-day busi- ness methods, and is well worthy of your serious consideration." After a word of appreciation for the work of the association's committees, President Robinson concluded: "Our association represents a body of high-minded business men. The very character of our business calls for a high degree of intellect and discern- oient. Let our efforts ever be toward improvement. Let honesty and fair dealing be our high ambition. Let us work together for the common good. Our country is large and yet in its in- fancy. There is a mighty work before you. Material prosperity rests in the quality of the seeds you sell, and I am sure Vou are equal to the respon- sibility. ' ' SEEDS AND THE LAW. States Have Limited Powers. Curtis Nye Smith, of Boston, who is the attorney who has served the asso- ciation and its members so successfully for the last year, was on the program for a paper, "The Relation of State Seed Laws to Interstate Commerce." He first showed how far the U. S. Su- preme Court has sustained state legisla- tion affecting interstate commerce, con- tinuing: The obvious conclusion from this brief discussion is that states, in the absence of prohibitory enactments by Congress, may pass and enforce reason- able laws regulating commerce in seeds, even if incidentally such laws may af- fect interstate commerce. Mark the im- portance of the word "reasonable," for most of the present seed laws would not fall within the class denoted by that adjective. If I am not taxing the patience of my listeners too much, perhaps a few prac- tical, general suggestions to seedsmen regarding this interstate commerce in seeds may be of some interest.

It is profitable, briefly, to note what these state seed laws pretend to regu- late: Wliat State Laws Regulate. Most of these laws regulate "the sale " or " offer or exposing for sale ' ' to which some state laws add restrictions to the mere "distribution" or "giving away" of seeds, and some states go so far as to attempt to regulate the "de- livery" or importation of seeds in or into the state. One state even prevents having possession of specified seeds. Then some states specifically limit the operation of the law to those "sales" or "offers" "within the state," while some state laws narrow this limitation even more by adding the further re- striction, "for seeding purposes within this state." It almost seems too simple even to state that a seedsman of one state re- ceiving an order for seeds from a cus- tomer in another state and completing the sale by delivery f. o. b., is not sell- ing or offering for sale in the other state, and consequently has no interest ' inHhat state 's la\f. | Yet during the last year we were amazed to note that a high official of a state expected to reach such a transaction under the law of his Funkia Undulata"t.

Business last week showed an im- provement. Stock of all descriptions was plentiful, including sweet peas, which are of the finest quality. Eoses, both indoors and outdoors, are also abundant and the parks and yards are a mass of blooms, yet the florists secure a good price for choice stock. The school commencements put a little energy into the demand, with the call for red flowers predominating. Peonies are almost a thing of the past; only a few can be had. The fourth an- nual rose show came to a close Saturday evening, June 11, and completed a week of gaiety which also reaped a harvest for the florists. Various Notes. Many florists from Seattle attended the Portland rose festival. Among them were Thomas Pritchard, W. B. Gibson, F. Felix, L. Walz and wife, and Mrs. L. W. McCoy, who came in her automobile. E. Scuchiewicz and F. W. Winters, of Spokane, and D. M. Kersey, of Belling- ham, Wash., spent a few days in this city recently. W. R. C. SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. The Market. The weather continues remarkably cool and the indications are that it will remain so for some time. This is a great assistance to the florists in several ways. Seldom have flowers been known to keep so well and there is no difficulty in having a good window display; also the general public does not show as great a desire to leave town as is usual at this time. These are small consider- ations, no doubt, but they have quite a bearing on the retail trade nevertheless, and it must be admitted that business is better than it usually is at this time. Cut flowers of all kinds still show the results of the recent hot spell and, although somewhat more plentiful than they were a week ago, they are far from being abundant. Boses more than anything else exhibit this in the mildew on the foliage, so that it is safe to say that there is really no first quality stock to be bought. Carnations are much more numerous, but the prices remain practically the same. Sweet peas are not brought into town in large quanti- ties and the stems are not as long as the retailers would like to see, but they are quickly sold and there does not seem to be quite enough to fill all require- ments. In other classes of hardy stock there is little to spare and the growers cannot complain of difficulty in dispos- ing of it. In the surrounding towns much the same conditions prevail and business is much better than it gener- ally is in the month of June. Various Notes.

The great mass of roses on display were all outdoor grown and competition between amateurs was keen for the many handsome prizes oflfered by Portland's fashionable rose society. The new varieties of French and Eng- lish origin attracted much attention, not to overlook E. G. Hill's varieties, which are certainly equal to the best foreign lunds.

These were Clarke Bros., Bay Tree Nurseries and the Swi^s Floral Co. The first named staged a beauti- ful group of palms and ferns, with many vases of cut flowers. The first prize of $100 was awarded for this exhibit. The Swiss Floral Co. had a tastefully ar- ranged group of their new petunia, Irv- ington Beauty, which won the admira- tion of all visitors for its large size and beautiful color, resembling that of the La France and Testout roses. Many orders were received by the firm. The Bay Tree Nurseries exhibited specimen plants in tubs of bay trees and ever- greens, with samples of topiary work well done. The third prize of $40 was awarded this exhibitor. An entry for nurserymen for the best collection of correctly named roses had no competi- tor, a poor showing for the professional rose growers. The best rose in the show was a speci- mon flower of J. B. Clark, about eight iii'hes in diameter, with Florence Pem- l' rton as a close second. Mildred ^'ant distinguished itself for size, also i"i" form and beauty. Mme. Melanie ^ npert, Dean Hole, Joseph Hill, Frau '^ trl Druschki and Lady Ashtown were ii markable. Many other fine varieties ^ re exhibited, only too numerous to II; "ntion, while many of the finest va- i" fies were past their best condition. •"arloads of cut roses were used fOr «■ corative purposes, also for decoration '^' automobiles and carriages during the I'T^ades. All were supplied free of C! arge by the enthusiastic citizens. At tri"^' railroad depot all incoming travelers ^' re presented with roses, and plenty ^^ them. For the automobile parade 11 any fine decorations were executed by JfJ'^al talent in the trade. business men are highly enthused o^Pr the results of the festival, which "leans a greater display will be freely forthcoming for another year, and rose planting wiU continue unabated, with ^ne demand for rare and fine varieties considerably augmented.

There are interesting tales of the fine sums the southern growers of peonies for cut flowers received from some of the northern markets at Memorial day this year. Peony planting is going merrily forward in the borderland, just between the north and the south. The Tyler Bros.' Nursery, at Heyburn and Kimberly, near Twin Falls, Idaho, has been sold to a company composed of John Hardin, John Henning, William Durkee and C. E. Wright, who are re- organizing the business as a stock com- pany, with $50,000 capital and with John Hardin as president. While the members of the American Association of Nurserymen were at Love- land, Colo., on the trip "around the Horn ' ' after the Denver convention, one of the automobiles provided for the nur- serymen ran down a 12-year-old boy, who was seriously injured.

Some members have hoped that the news matter furnished the press by the National Council of Horticulture would accomplish this result, but it is evident that this plan is a failure. It has been contended by others that the publicity committee of the association should prepare articles to be furnished the agricultural papers, to help stimu- late demand for certain lines of stock; but this plan, too, will likely fail. If a really good article is furnished, one paper will print it, perhaps, but only one, for when once printed it is no longer news, and other papers will not want it. I believe that if this association should decide upon a general publicity campaign, the advertising must be in the form of good display advertising, good copy must be prepared, and space must be bought in papers which are really worth using. This is the plan which other organizations follow to cre- ate a demand for their respective prod- ucts, and it is one which can well be considered by nurserymen. Oranges and Canned Goods. A few years ago the production of oranges had increased to such an extent that the market would not consume the crop. Did the orange growers cut down their trees to decrease the supply of fruit? No, indeed. Instead, they out- lined an elaborate advertising cam- paign to increase consumption, and their plan succeeded.

These advertisements dwelt upon the wholesomeness of the fruit as an article of food, not merely as a luxury. Atten- tion was also called to the low price of the fruit, and the price of oranges was compared with the price of apples, to the disadvantage of the latter fruit. The raisin growers of California have also carried on a limited campaign of this kind. Perhaps the most recent campaign of this kind was that of the different com- panies engaged in the canning of fruits and vegetables.

Y. 800 Acres Meution The Review when you write. ■i ( some canners used preservatives of va- rious kinds in their food products, and the discussion of benzoate of soda, for- maldehyde and other preservatives be- came so general in magazines and news- papers that the person known as the "ultimate consumer" became suspicious of all canned goods, except the home- made brand, and the canners felt the effect of the agitation. A Campaign of Education. Accordingly, the association repre- senting this industry outlined a cam- paign of education to offset this condi- tion. The advertisements have ap- peared in publications of general circu- lation and have set forth the fact that the really reputable canners have no need of preservatives in their food products; that where proper methods are used, and where clean and sanitary conditions prevail, such preservatives are unnecessary. In the case of the orange growers, the advertising campaign was intended to create a greater demand for oranges. In the case of the canners, the cam- paign was intended to prevent the de- crease of a demand which already ex- isted. It is believed that both cam- paigns have been successful. The or- ange growers have spent more money in the campaign recently closed than in the first one, and this is evidence that they have found the expenditure profitable. Now, are there not times when cer- tain lines of nursery stock are slow sale, and w^hen a well directed advertising campaign can increase the demand? Take the case of cherry trees during the season just past. Nearly every nurseryman in the country seemed to be overstocked with cherry trees; if these trees could have been sold every firm could well afford to have contributed to an advertising campaign which would help close out the stock. Could the demand for cherry trees have been increased by an advertising campaign? I believe it could. A Surplus of Cherry Trees. What was the matter with the de- mand— or, rather, the lack of demand — for this kind of stock? In the first place, cherry trees have been rather high in price for a number of years, and some farmers have felt that they could not afford to buy. They really have not heard that prices have de- clined, and a general advertising cam- paign would have informed them as to true conditions. Again, many farmers have become discouraged in trying to grow cherries. They have planted the wrong varieties, and have failed; they have planted on poorly drained land, and have failed; a succession of wet seasons in parts of the country has caused an unusually severe outbreak of shot-hole fungus, and their trees have died. A well-directed advertising campaign would have enlightened the fardiers as to the better varieties of cherries; would have given proper directions for BERBERRY Snow Bali, Spiraea and other fine shrubs stock of unusual quality.

Cherries are really a great crop for the farm and city yard. Indeed, there is no other tree fruit which is of more general adaptability than the cherry, and the objections which farmers have made against planting them could have been removed by a well-directed adver- tising campaign. Every nurseryman in the country would have been benefited, whether his stock is sold through sales- men or through catalogue, for the effect of the campaign would have been to create a general demand for cherry trees. The sale of a small part of the cherry trees which remained unsold at the close of the season would have borne the expense of the campaign. A Distinction in Methods. From time to time the demand for other lines of nursery stock will need stimulating in this same way, and I be- lieve a general publicity campaign will do the work. This sort of advertising is intended to create a demand for a certain commodity, and this is the form of advertising which is recommended for nurserymen. The best kind of advertising which can be done by individual nursery firms, also, is that which creates business.

Have you ever read any atlvertise- nients which sounded like that? Years ago advertisements of merchants read much like the average nursery adver- tisement of today: "John Jones, Deal- er in Dry Goods, Hats and Caps, Boots and Shoes." The up-to-date merchant has greatly advanced in his advertising methods, and his advertisements now literally coax the money out of one's pocket by reason of their DOwers of per- suasion. They create a demand for the goods he has for sale. The time has come for nurserymen to adopt better methods of advertising. Creative advertising is profitable, but that form of advertising which coaxes an order from your competitor simply increases the cost of doing business. The advertisements which create busi- ness will have the effect of getting one's share of this business, anyway. Jt is not the purpose of this paper to lay down any sit rules for the prepara- tion of copy for nursery advertisements; the writer does not pretend to know how to prepare this sort of copy, but he does want to give it as his opinion that better copy should be used than is now generally employed. Preparing and Placing the Ads. Advertising space is expensive, and it costs as much to fill it with poor copy as with copy which will create a demand for nursery stock. Tf you can- not prepare good copy yourself, get the services of men who can. Such men are available; they have had experi- ence, and their services are well worth using. In your advertising campaign use fewer publications, perhaps, but use good copy in the papers used. Direct your advertising toward creating new business, rather than try to entice from your neighbor the orders which are headed his way. This paper does not plead for more advertising on the part of nurserymen; that will come later, perhaps. The need now is for better advertising — ad- vertising which will create business for nurserymen generally, in specific lines, when the demand needs stimulating — and for individual firms always to iiave in mind that the best advertising, and the most profitable, is that which cre- ates new business, and not that which changes an order from one firm to an- other. The latter kind of advertising is an expense; the former kind is a per- manent investment in building up a profitable business. FERNS Boston and Whitmani, 4-in., 15c; Mn., 25c.

The hot weather is upon us and, as usual, has caused a decline in business. From now on, till trade opens up in the fall, there will not be much doing, only an occasional call for flowers for socials, etc. Of course, there is always about the same demand for funeral flowers, no matter what the season. Roses and carnations are rather soft, owing to the extremely warm weather during the last week. Sweet peas are {)lentiful and can be bought for 5 cents per bunch of fifty. Various Notes. The Wni. Blackman Floral Co. reports some good weddings and receptions. They are cutting some good carnations and roses. Their sweet peas are extra good for outdoor stock. They have planted three houses of carnations and one house of Beauties. This firm does not plant carnations in the field, if in- tended for inside, but keeps them grow- ing in pots till the houses are ready. A large field of carnations is planted for summer bloom, however, from which they usually get good flowers. Royston & Fenton have torn out all the old roses and will get the young stock in this week. They rebuilt all the benches, every board in the old benches being rotted out. E. L. F. PORTLAND, ME. At the St. Lawrence church, June 4, we had an especially pretty wedding. The beautifully curved altar was banked with bloom. Hydrangeas, spiraeas and maidenhair ferns were the plants used. On the right side of the altar was an immense bank of palms; on the left side were hydrangeas and ferns. The front of the altar was draped with southern huckleberry, which hung to the floor. The huckleberry also out- lined the arches above the organ and the choir rail. Beginning with the choir rail, which was massed with spiraeas and ferns, row after row of blooming plants and ferns were massed, making the altar a solid bank of flowers. A new feature was the separate altar rail, made specially for the church weddings. With its white satin cushion and its rail of maidenhair and white sweet peas, it was a pretty innovation. Tl;e pews for the near relatives were marked with great bunches of roses, tied with pale green gauze ribbons. A new and pretty feature of the aisle decora- tion was the use of hats for baskets to hold pink and white sweet peas as seat decorations. The bride's bouquet was of valley and her attendants car- ried roses. The decorations were planned and executed by A. W. Dyer, who receives orders for many of our beat weddings and always has pretty decorative schemes. O. Shall do no more advertising this sea- son; we are buried with orders.

MentloD The Review when you write PITTSBURG, PA. The Market. Pitthbiirg has just had a bad week as far as the wholesalers are concerned. Such great quantities of flowers are rarely seen; all of the outdoor roses, peonies, delphiniums and iris came in at once and on top of them came an ava- lanche of roses, carnations aild lilies from the inside, all of which usually come much earlier; the result has been much more really good stock than it was possible to dispose of. The retail stores are doing about the usual amount of June business, but the commencement trade, which at one time was among the most important business of the year, has fallen off until now it is scarcely considered. Those handling bedding plants are still doing more than is usual at this late date. Various Notes. Saturday, June 18, a number of hail storms visited this section, some por- tions having as many as three separate storms that day. Although the hail was of good size, the only damage reported was the beating down and spoiling of the outdoor flowers in bloom; in fact, it finished the peonies. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. had a leak in the ammonia tank recently which put them all out of the building and, while there was no serious loss or damage, it caused them considerable in- convenience. Wanted, a watchdog, one not too big, but with plenty of bark to it, to protect the home of John Bader, which w; visited a short time ago by a burglar. The burglar was captured, however, anc all the jewelry recovered, the only loss being some gold coins which he had evidently spent before he was caught. T. P. Langhans has now moved to his bungalow at Allison Park for the sum- mer. One should hear about his flock of white chickens; they can do nearly everything except whistle. Greenhouse stock in this vicinity is in finer condition than ever was seen before at this time of year. The Pitts- burg Cut Flower Co. is cutting as fine Killarney and White Killarney as one ever sees in the winter and all the other roses are equally good. Hoo-Hoo. We are pleased to advise that we have had the best results from our adv. in The Review, and have sold an immense lot of stock during the past winter and spring. We will certainly need your services again in the near future. — Shep- ard's Garden Carnation Co., Lowell, Mass. 20 fo Discount on Bedding Plants for Stocii For the next 10 days we will allow a discount of 20 per cent on any of the following plants except ferns and cyclamen.

STANDARD FLOWER POTS No order too small to receive our careful attention Mention The Review when you write. DENVER. The Market. Traile last week was dull. With the exception of a couple of days, when there were some funerals, it was the rej^ulation summer business. With the graduation exercises over and few wed- dings taking place, comparatively few flowers are called for, and the quality of such as have been on the market is not first-class, although there are a few exceptions, of course. Carnations have held up well. Roses are not so good, as some are getting smaller and a few are coming in mil- dewed. Long-stemmed Beauties are good; in fact, they are the only ones that are good, medium and short ones being second-class. Sweet peas are fairly good, although no outside ones are yet being picked. Peonies are mostly a thing of the past, though an occasional dozen of late ones may be seen. Good lily of the valley is seen, but outside of that there is con siderable poor stock arriving. Various Notes. J. A. Valentine and N. A. Benson have returned from a fishing trip and are now off for another one, up the Gunnison river. John Berry, state vice-president for Colorado, is reminding the members of the S. A. F. that the convention at Rochester is near at hand, and he asks for as large a delegation as possible to go. Arthur Zirkman,- of M. Rice & Co., was calling on the trade here last week. The largest decoration of the season was at the University Club ball. Some say it was the finest yet done for that annual event. It was the work of B. E. Gillis, of the Park Floral Co. The Colorado Florists' Club adjourned for the months of July, August and September, to meet on the second Thursday of October, when the election ef officers will take place. E. S. K.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 77 NEW ORLEANS, With the month of June conies the ^uli season of the year, and outside <)f :i few weddings sind some funeral ord' rs there is little business. All the niaiivets are at a standstill and many florists have ceased going to them till earlv in the fall. A little recreation Yyill be a necessity and the local so- viet v is contemplating an outing or a dinner, to celebrate its organization and the election of the new officers for the next year. At)cle Bros, are the originators of a jew fei'n of the nephrolepis family, a sport of the well known Barrowsii. The ends of the fronds are finely di- vidfil into five or six and form quite a distinct variety, which remains true, sincf the firm has had it for over two years. It is without doubt a good acquisition. They report a fine lot of carnations and pot plants. This is surely something unusual down here at this time of the year. R. Eichling, with U. J. Virgin, says his aster crop is ahead of last year. The culture of this plant has so far been quite uncertain in New Orleans, and fair success has often been fol- lowed by failure. B. M. Wichers, of Gretna, the fern specialist, always has an eye open to new ])roductions. His last one is the rearintj of a kind of turtle which abounds in the lagoon around New Or- leans and is relished by epicures and in demand in different markets. He seems satisfied with his new enterprise. In fact, some florists give attention, as a side line, to dogs, chickens, gold- fish, etc., and we do not see why the terrajiin business should not be as good. We liave even heard that someone in the craft is contemplating the starting of a lizard-egg hatchery. J. L'. Quinette, long established across the river as a nurseryman, has moved his store in town from Carondelet street to 727 Common street. The loca- tion is more central and a better one for bis increasing trade. He intends to start a cut flower business in the near future. Frtil Dumoy and John O'Doberts made application to be received as mem- bers of the New Orleans Horticultural Society. M. M. L. PLANT FOR NAME.

W. iia Atlanta, Ga. — The postoffice returns Would You Save One-Quarter of Your Coal Bill? = INSTALL A Kitts Improved Hydraulic Damper Regulator. Florist Peter Crowe, Rose Place, Utica, N. V., voluntarily writes:— " I am very much pleased to let you know that the Damper Regulator I bought from you last fall Is by far the best apparatus for greenhouse purposes. I had my book-keeper compare my coal bill of last with that of this year and I find a saving of one quarter the amount of this year's coal over last year's ; also the past winter was a great deal colder and longer than the winter before. " There is another very good feature about the Damper Regulator, as it keeps a uniform heat in all the houses at all times by putting on and shutting off pipes. And I find that my Roses and Ferns did far better this winter than any winter so far, as the temperature was so uniform at all times. " My reason for writing you is to let you know, and also to thank you for bringing my attention to the Regulator, and I assure you I cannot speak too highly of this machine."

Kindly give me information as to the best way to pipe my new houses, and also the best way to hitch my two boil- ers, so that they may be used either as a battery or independently. The boilers are of the locomotive type, seventy horse-power each. The boiler pit is in the middle of the range, and is suffi- ciently low. The two new houses run east and west, and are 27x200 feet each. They have forty inches of glass on the sides and gables. We will use 20x20 double strength A glass. Please state how large a discharge pipe I need to heat with steam in the coldest weather, which in this part of Montana is 20 degrees below zero only for a day or two at a time; also how many li/i-inch returns are required. There will be eight 5-foot cement benches in the two houses. The boilers are in the center, on the south side of these two houses. There will be a di- vision walk in the center of the houses, running crosswise. The houses are for carnations. M. N. C. WBITK TO The question does not state clearly whether there are more than two houses, but from the size of the boilers it is inferred that there are several others. If the boilers are side by side, all that is necessary is to run up a 4-inch pipe from each and at some convenient point connect them to a o-inch main, from which the other feed pipes can be taken. The main return should be 2%-inch, with a 2-inch connection to each boiler. Between the boilers and the main pipes there should be gate valves on both GEO. B.

Mention The Review when you write. the piping, stating the number of flows and returns. The house is for carna- tions and bedding plants. You know just how cold it is here, in Massachu- setts. E. J. S. To heat a house 20x75 feet, with two feet of glass in each of the side walls, to a temperature of 55 degrees in cen- tral Massachusetts, will require about 650 square feet of radiating surface, but it will give the highest economy in heating if a heater rated for 950 to 1,000 square feet of radiation is used. Sectional heaters give good results. In the smaller sizes those with horizontal sections are generally selected, but in the present case a boiler with vertical sections could be used and might be made to answer in case another house is added later. For radiation put in three 2i/^-inch flow pipes, placing one on each wall and the other under the ridge. Then use for returns three coils of 2-inch pipes, placing three on each wall and four under the center bench. One 3-inch main flow pipe will answer. By having the highest point in the system directly over the boiler and connecting the ex- pansion tank there, it will be possible, by giving all of the pipes a slight fall, say one inch in ten feet, to dispense entirely with air-valves. There should, however, be a gate valve upon each of the 214-inch flow pipes. MAKING ONE HOUSE OF TWO. I have two parallel houses, each about fifteen feet wide and from ten to eleven feet high at the ridge. The houses are three-quarter span and the rafters meas- ure twelve feet and six feet. I propose to make one house out of these two, by roofing over the space between the two ridges. That is, I would remove the present gutter between the two houses, with the rafters that rest there, and would extend the other rafters upward and inward to a meeting point which would constitute the ridge of the new house. This ridge would be fourteen and a half feet high. T would thus have one three-quarter span house, thirty feet wide. Could the new house be heated just as easily as the two old ones? M. E. In severe weather it would be a little HAVE YOU EVER— talked with a brother florist who uses Morehead Return Steam Traps?

Trade is still lively here, and there is still a good deal of bedding being done. The call for geraniums is heavy even now, and the growers that had some good late stock are using it to good ad- vantage. We had no growing weather up to the last few days, and then we just jumped right into midsummer weather, with the mercury around 90 degrees in the shade. Stock, no doubt, will suffer in quality as a result. Koses are show- ing the effects of it more than anything else, but are still good for this time of the year. Carnations are holding up finely, with the quality almost equal to that of the winter months. They have been quite plentiful, but the demand has also been heavy, as there has been a great deal doing this month, including a number of weddings, which use lots of stock. Funeral work in the latter part of last week and the early part of this week was extremely heavy, and that, combined with commencement flowers, has given everybody a good deal of business. The O. S. U. prom- enade called for a big lot of Beauties, roses, valley and sweet peas. Sweet peas are coming in from out- doors now and are extra fine, both in stem and color, which cannot be said of the house-grown sorts, and they will have to take a back seat now. The Au- gusta gladioli have proven to be good sellers, and quite a few are in the mar- ket. Peonies are still to be had in quantity, but the demand for them is rather light at present. Various Notes. Sherman Stephens reports a heavy business in all lines of work, but the bulk of the bedding is over now. E. Metzmaier has had a busy season, and reports things pretty well cleaned up. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. had an unusual run on funeral work last week, which used up a pile of stock. The Livingston Seed Co. reports heavy business in wedding and com- mencement flowers. Walter Marion, of Ashville, O., was in town last week looking up some ma- terial for his new place. William Graflf got home from Chicago safe and sound and reports having a fine time. J. M.

IRON FRAME HOUSE Here is a safe house because it is made a safe way. A few years ago our first 40-foot Iron Frame House having only two small columns was much the talk. Some of the old gray beards shook their heads and "had their doubts if such a house, 700 feet long, would stand the wind and snow strain." Since then we have built many "40 footers." During the last year we did a lot of hard thinking alx)ut how an equally safe house, half as wide again, could be made with the same number of columns. We knew that it was not safe engineering practice to put the strain of that immense roof on the side posts and fittings at the ridge, which was bound to be the case if supported by trusses alone. We also realized that a series of trusses that were brought in place " by a nut and thread tension plan" were dangerous, as any sudden, unexpected strain might strip the threads, and should this occur on several of the trusses, the roof would be in great danger of collapse. It was evident that to keep watch of these innumerable tension truss rods was out of the question. Knowing these things, we have gone slow— slow but sure, and now here is a house 60 feet wide, that is stiffened between the two columns, spaced 29 feet apart, by an angle iron com- pression truss which is formed by bolting the angle irons directly to the fish plates, and the column and ridge fittings. No trussing Ijetween the iron rafters is necessary. You get nine 4 feet 6-inch l)enches; two24-incli side walks and eight •J2-inch walks. In our next .\dv. we will show you a section of a house 72 feet wide. If you want more particulars of this weeks house, or cant wait lot our next Adv.. write us.

The Weekly Florists' Review^ i THE RETAIL i FLORIST.., IS THIS THE BECOBD? How many weddings did you ever ^ 'furnish ' ' in one day? Did the number exceed seventeen? That's the record to date. H. H. Kuhlmann, of Houston, Tex., does not claim to hold the record — only that his record of one day's work exceeds the best so far published. Here is what he says: "I read in one of the recent issues of The Eeview about a retail florist who had made 'a record' for the number of wedding3 for which he had furnished decorations or bou- quets in any one day; the number was eight or nine. I think that I can beat that badly, as on Wednesday, June 8, T had seventeen weddings to furnish bride and bridesmaid bouquets for, some of them being shipped out of town, but most of them were used in town. For about ten of them we fur- nished palms and ferns, etc., as well as the bouquets. I think that was going some." So does The Review, and will be glad to tell about it if anyone went some more on any one day this June. PANDANUS UTILIS. The late Peter Henderson, whose wemory is revered by all good gardeners, ajad whose judgment was of the highest order, in passing a plant of Pandanus utilis in the hall of his residence once remarked to William Scott: "The best house plant I know of." All dealers in palms and decorative plants find it among the most popular of the foliage plants used in dwellings. "They are especially suited for fern pans and table decoration," accord- ing to Wilhelm Miller, who was Prof. Bailey's right-hand man in compiling the Cyclopedia of American Horticulture, and who took for that monumental publica- tion an account of pandanus written by W. H. Taplin for the Bevebw, in which Mr. Taplin said : * ' The specific name of his pandanus, utilis, which signifies use- tul, seems to be especially applicable to 'he plant. As a florist's plant it is most isef ul in small sizes, for example, in pots uf 4-inch to 8-inch sizes, there being but I limited demand for plants larger than •hese." The accompanying illustration gives he idea of a specimen of large size, but iuch was not the case. Receptacle, plant tnd all stood not more than twenty-four •nches high, the plant itself being in an ordinary flower pot, which was slipped vithin the miniature garden vase, the pot and soil being concealed by green ••phagnum moss. One of the principal merits of the plant is its ability to en- 'lure neglect in the matter of watering. Indeed, under average dwelling-house conditions it appears to do fully as well when kept fairly dry as when given fre- quent waterings. Under greenhouse glass it requires warm, moist treatment and makes rapid growth and gives little trou- ole, unless spot develops. This spot i» caused by the boring of a minute insect in the leaf, and its progress seems to be favored by overwatering. Propagation is generally by seeds, which are a regular commodity with all seed houses catering to the florists, and which germinate weU if planted in light soil and placed in a warm house. The seed should preferably set with the bottom end up, this being the end from which the germs emerge. The seeds are a little peculiar, being closely set in a more or less globular mass that hangs down on a stout stem, while the individual seeds, or rather fruits, are compound and often contain eight or ten germs, the latter being en- tions and asparagus. He was tying up the box wherewith to delight a hospital patient. It was an easy, "straight" order, but the cut flower man casually inquired: "You gave them plumosus?" The youngster gaped. "Plumosus," reiterated the packer. "Like this," he continued, pointing to a string of the popular fern. "I gave them asparagus," stoutly asserted the novice. "Let me see." The box was opened, and there, snugly resting upon some Enchantress, were two prim bunches of parsley! What the recipient, on his bed of sickness, would have said had the car- nations been served with "dressing," may be variously conjectured. W. J. H. HOW ABOUT IT? When your customers step into your nice, clean, well-appointed retail store do they find you or your clerks puflSng on a cigar — or worse? With what class of flower store do you associate the signs printed with Pandanus Utilis. closed in cells of a tough, horny sub- stance within the fruit. Some growers soak the seeds before planting them, but others have found no gain in the time of germination through this practice. P. utilis is a native of some of the South Sea islands, where it reaches a height sometimes as great as sixty feet. DISCOVEBED IN TIME. Even the state in which this hap- pened shall be nameless! He was a raw hand and in the busy cut flower season he was pressed into service.

As an example of a popular bouquet, the accompanying illustration is worth study. It is one that can be made at a lower price than those that combine orchids and valley, or even those made of valley alone. Made of Bride roses and valley, with a shower, it is, next to the valley bunch, probably carried by more brides than have any other style of bouquet; but by simply using pink or yellow roses and finishing without the shower, it is adapted for the brides- maids. This is one of the bouquets made by R. Irving Gresham, of the C. A. Dahl Co., Atlanta, Ga., whose work recently has attracted much attention. It should be noted that on this, as on practically all of Mr. Gresham 's bouquets, Farley- ense is used for green. There is noth- ing finer for the purpose, and i^ whole- sale centers the increasing call reflects its increased use for fine work instead of the more common adiantum. A WORD FOR THE COLUMBINE. It is pleasing at any time to discover something in our work that is unusual, and especially refreshing in the hot, dull season now here. The rose and carnation arc on the wane for a spell, but there are other bewitching beauties galore. Aquilegia or colum- bine is a delightful possibility, dainty of form and of varied shades of pink, lavender, mauve, yello\fr and combina- tion^ of these that. are truly inspiring. They last well in water, and for .funeral work can be stemmed to picks and worked into a handful or two of .damp moss, backed by a little foil and wired to some fairly strong foliage, as Spren- geri or 8hru,b branches, for supj^rt. A spray of ferns, especially '^if long, is finished most beautifully; with these flowers as a cluster. I^ ribbons are used, care must be taken in choosing the color and weave. Heavy silks or satins are out of place; narrow ribbon and chiffons would be best. For table decoration the foliage of the colum- bine itself is good and is plentiful, too.. Other fern may be substituted or the leaves of the centaur ea, dusty miller. I do not know how the columbine will ship, but for those who have a garden it is a splendid flower. The doubles are very well in the garden, but it is the single columbines that take my fancy as a cut flower. Violet Sylvester. FANSIES. Will you inform me when pansy seed should be sown and the plants trans- planted and how far apart, so as to have the flowers in the early spring! Is it necessary to cover them up for the winter, in Maryland, the same as single violets? What varieties sell best! E. A. P. In your state pansy seed should not be sown before the first week in Au- gust. You can either winter them in coldframes or outdoors. In your lati- tude they will be fully as well outdoors. Transplant them when of suitable size, four inches apart in the rows. You can either plant them in beds four feet wide, running the rows in the beds quite closely and cultivating them by hand, or, as some bi^ growers prefer, planting sufficiently wide apart to allow of using horse or hand cultivators. A light covering of straw, hay, leaves or pine needles is better applied, but not until the ground is frozen hard. Tri- mardeau is probably the best all-around pansy to grow. Several American spe- cialists have strains which are good. C. W. CYANIDE IN SUMMER. Should potassium cyanide be used for fumigation at this season of the year, when the temperature is highf We were under the impression that it should not be used in a temperature above 60 degrees. J. F. W. Fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas in summer is likely to cause injury to tender growths, unless a cold night Bride's Bouquet of Roses and Valley. is selected for the operation and only a short exposure given. If you have facilities for opening the ventilators from outdoors, we should not be afraid to use it, especially on a cool night. We would syringe the plants well in the fumigated houses early the follow- ing morning, to reduce the chances of injury. Many growers make a practice of using cyanide all the time, and will not use any other fumigant. It is a simple and inexpensive method and certainly no other plan will clear out such pests as mealy bug and white fly, to say nothing of aphis, thrips and scale, as this does. Some of the plants most easily in- jured are orchids, on which we would never use it, antirrhinums, tomatoes and cucumbers, but there are always cool nights, even in summer, when its use is safe, provided a weak dose is given and the houses are not left closed all night. C. W. LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY. In The Review of recent date an eastern wholesale commission florist re- ported a case of the repudiation of an order that he thought might interest others who have had similar ex- periences. A retail florist up state or- dered $50 worth of carnations to be sent on a specified train on a Satur- day and sent his check for the goods. The express company failed to get them to the customer before Monday. The florist refused the goods and stopped payment on the check. The wholesaler had already deposited it and protest charges were added. He shipped the goods at the exact time specified by the retail florist, making special effort and incurring extra ex- pense to do so. The question was asked: **Who is responsible, and can the wholesaler collect by law?" The general rule of law is that as soon as the wholesaler has delivered the shipment of stock as ordered to the express company, on the train and time designated, he delivered them to the purchaser and can collect by proc- ess of law from the consignee, no matter what the fate of the stock in the hands of the transportation company, which is the buyer's agent and not the agent of the shipper. If the other's breach of the contract directly causes any damages or expense I think he can collect those also. The other party would then have to look to the ex- press company, if it were negligent, for his remedy. But before the whole- saler jumps into any litigation I would advise him to consider carefully whethsr the amount he might recover in a lawsuit would justify the attor- ney fees and time spent in court in collecting his money. C. H. H. SNAPDRAGONS FOR WINTER. Will yon kindly give me some infor- mation on the growing of snapdragons for winter flowering? I now have plants in 2% -inch pots. Will they be right if kept cut back, or would later plants be better? When should they be benched? How far apart should they be planted? How long is the profitable blooming season? Do they require stakes? Any other information on this plant will be greatly appreciated. G. S. R. The plants you now have in 2^-incli pots will be all right. Do not allo\\ them to become too much potbound before shifting them into a size large; pots. Keep them pinched back. Allow the shoots to run up and show flowoi buds before doing this, as they wil' then break stronger. Keep the plant- outdoors; a coldframe bed with sashc removed will be a suitable place. Prol' ably it will be necessary to give tlu plants a second shift before you car. plant them out. If you do not care tc; go to the trouble of potting on tii'' plants, you can plant them outdoor- and, if they are lifted carefully ai benching time, little check will be suf- fered. For a winter crop you should bencD early in September. Allow the plants twelve inches each way. To secure strong spikes, limit the number o" shoots to four or five to a plant. B"'' the side growths from the flowering stems, as you would from chrysanthe- mums. When the first crop is cut, tbe plants will soon break again and gi^^ June 30, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 0 Schizanthus Wisetonensis, the Cut Flower Possibilities of which are Neglected. a second crop, but we would prefer to pull them out and plant another batch of later seedlings. The plants will re- quire staking; if once the stems beconje bent and twisted, they are of no value whatever. Such soil as you would use for chrys- anthemums -will answer for snap- dragons, and a winter night tempera- ture of 45 to 50 degrees should hot be exceeded. These plants are easily in- jured by fumigation, hydrocyanic acid ^'as being especially damaging to the onds of the growing shoots. We should say a blooming season of eight to ten weeks is as long as would be profit- ;tble. C. SCHIZANTHUS WISETONENSIS. One of the best annuals for cut flowers in winter, or for use as a pot jiant for house decoration, is Schizan- thus Wisetonensis. If wanted at < hristmas, the seed should be sown 'luring the first week in August, in pans or flats, in a mixture of loam, leaf- mold and sand. As soon as the seed- I'-ngs can be handled, put them in 2i/>- inch pots. Keep them potted on and flower them in 6-inch pots. When the pots are filled with roots, manure water should be given twice a week until the plants show color. If large plants are wanted, they can l>e shifted into 9-inch pots, and, if grown cool, they will make plants Pleasuring two feet or more through, ye find, however, that the 6-inch size 's the most convenient to handle. A. later batch can be sown in Sep- tember, to flower in February and March. These can be grown in pots or planted out on a light bench, ten inches apart, in a sandy loam. They should have the same culture as stocks, with a night temperature of 45 to 50 degrees. They need plenty of water when established. If allowed to dry out badly, red spider will attack the plants. After the flowers are cut, there is ample time to follow with stocks for Memorial day. Nicely flowered plants of this annual should sell on sight at Easter. If flo- rists would but give these a thorough trial, I am sure they would grow more of them. Wm. Swan. EUEOPEAN NOTES. Germany has lost a well-known and stalwart representative horticulturist by the death of Heinrich August Koene- mann, Rheingau, Niederwalluf, of the firm of Goos & Koenemann, who are in the front rank as raisers and introducers of new dahlias, irises and hardy flowers. Mr. Koenemann was in the prime of life and held in the highest respect. At one time he was in the habit of making busi- ness trips to the United States, but lat- terly relinquished American journeys on account of increasing pressure of work in the management of the nur- series. England imports tons of asparagus from France every year in the early part of the season, but the markets are now fully stocked with fine home-grown bundles of this table delicacy. Evesham is the center of asparagus culture in England and an asparagus show is held annually, prizes being given for the best bundles of 120 heads. At the close of the show the bundled are sold by auction. The best sample this year came from George Knight, who wa» awarded the championship cup. His bundle weighed nineteen pounds six ounces. The highest bid for it was $25,. the highest price ever given for the championship bundle. There was a heavier bundle, twenty pounds six ounces, from C. Falkner, but the quality was not equal to G. Knight's. John Waterer & Sons, Bagshot, are now holding their annual show of rhodo- dendrons in a huge tent at the Royal Botanic Gardens, London, England; 2,000 plants are on view, with approxi- mately 100,000 flower-trusses of every known shade, size and character. To demonstrate the utility of carna- tions as bedding plants, the English Per- petual Flowering Carnation Society is again conducting a trial of carnations at the Royal Botanic Gardens. The Na- tional Dahlia Society and the National Chrysanthemum Society are each con- tlucting trials of their respective flowers and, still greater than the three men- tioned, the National Sweet Pea Society's trials are in full swing. The great annual show at York, one of the largest in England, was opened June 15 and on that day there were 11,280 visitors. There were 145 ex- hibitors. Bee.

What roses are best to carry over for another year, own root or grafted? Can American Beauties be carried over a second year? Which rose is the better for greenhouse culture, Bride or Kai- serin? Will it be too late to plant roses in August and have good flowers in December? C. L. Eoses, either on their own roots or grafted stock, can be carried over suc- cessfully and profitably if given care- ful and skillful treatment. Beauties also can be carried over, but it is not a usual practice; the inference there- fore is that it is not a profitable meth- od. Kaiserin is simply a good summer rose. Brides are more suitable for win- ter blooming. August is rather late to secure full crops in December, but still, with good treatment, a fair cut can be obtained. Kibes. MILDEW ON HELEN GOULD. I enclose some leaves from a Helen Gould (Balduin) rose that are in a sorry plight, although the bushes have been blooming profusely and other varieties in the same bed are little af- fected. Please name the trouble and remedy. J. E. D. The leaves were in a bad condition when they reached me, too much dried up to see what the trouble is. They are, however, affected with mildew, and the remedy for this is sulphur. Choose a bright day and close the ventilators (if the plants are under glass) and give a liberal dusting. This should be done twice a week. If the plants are outside, choose the early morning, whiie the foliage is moist with dew, and apply the sulphur or Slugshot. Kibes. ROSE PRINCETON. Eeferring to Rose Princeton, illus- trated in The Review of June 23, Stock- ton & Howe, with whom it originated, say: "Princeton is a seedling, its parents being Ulrich Brunner and Safrano. The color is rose pink, as near as we can describe it, but it is a quite unusual color, being a true pink, and all blooms 'being of the same shade winter and summer. The bud is long and graceful and opens into a large flower, which does not fade or fall; it is a remarkably good keeper. Its growth is strong, vig- Burnink Cayenne pepper in the houses will, if persisted in, certainly lessen their number. This can be done when fumigating the houses, or at any other time during the afternoon or evening of a cloudy day. For each 1,000 cubic feet of space use one-quarter of a pound of fresh Cayenne and keep the house closed tightly till morning. Repeat twice a week. Keep the walks and un- derneath the benches clear of weeds and, if possible, burn all the herbage in proximity to the houses. Eibes. orous and fast, and free, every shoot producing a bud. The stems are long, straight and stiff. We are devoting one large house to this rose, and believe it to be different from any rose grown, and of great promise." THRIPS. I should esteem it a great favor if you would advise me how to get rid of thrips on roses and carnations. I have tried fumigating, but to no pur- pose. The pests get into the buds of both carnations and roses, and dis- figure the petals to such an extent that many of them are quite worthless. The foliage, to all appearance, is free from thrips. They seem to work only on the blooms. G. W. E. Thrips at this season are difficult to destroy or even to hold in check, es- pecially when they have such a foot- hold. GLADIOLI FOR CHRISTMAS. When should gladioli be planted to be in bloom at Christmas? 1 want May and Augusta and others of that class. B. B. C. Christmas is too early for blooming any gladioli. Such varieties as May and Augusta cannot be bloomed satis- factorily before March. The bulbs of these are not procurable until Novem- ber and, even if benched at once, it is impossible, of course, to flower them befor late winter. They can be planted in benches and do well in a carnation temperature. The small flowering gladioli, such as Colvillei The Bride, Peach Blossom, Blushing Bride, Mathilde and others of the nanus type, are procurable two months earlier than May, Augusta and other large flowered sorts and can be profitably grown in flats containing four inches of soil. They will not bloom for Christmas, however; none of the gladioli will tolerate much forcing. It only weakens the stems and spoils them. C. W. SEASONABLE ORCHID NOTES. Miltonia Vexillaria. Miltonia vexillaria is one of the most valuable of summer-flowering or- chids. Some orchid collections prac- tically ignore this beautiful orchid, from a mistaken idea that it is hard to grow. Miltonia vexillaria is much easier to grow than such odontoglos- sums as crispum and Pescatorei. It will stand more heat and shows no ill effects from even our hottest waves, when we can see odontoglossums sim- ply pining away. At this season mil- tonias are better in a north house, where blinds can be drawn down as shade, and these also help greatly to reduce the temperature in the house. Plenty of air should, however, be given. Closing up the house and constant soak- ings of the floor may make the house cooler, but it is a bad atmosphere for either man or plant. Now the real summer weather is here and thrips must be guarded against. Keep the plants only moderately damp at the root while in flower. Any repotting should not be done until the flowering season ends. There is no bet ter potting medium than pure osmunda fern fiber, and pots seem to grow tho plants better than pans and baskets. The cool end of the cattleya house, with a minimum temperature of 52 to 55 degrees, suits M. vexillaria in win- ter. There was a beautiful display of this grand orchid at the late Boston show, and it was noted that many oi the critical visitors admired them much more than the larger, showier, but stif- fer-looking cattleyas. Cattleya Harrisoniae. With the passing of C. Mossioe ami Mendellii, there is something of "^ scarcity of summer cattleyas. It is true there are C. gigas and C. Gaskelliana. but too many growers overlook C. Har risoniffi, sometimes classed as a form of C. Loddigesii, an old orchid but n. useful one. The flowers, it is true, lack the size of many of the other cattleyas. June 30, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review* Cattleya Mossiae Wagneri, Pure White, on Left; Other Plants C Mossiae Reineckiana. but, as from four to a m)zen are car- ried on a sheath and the plant is a vigorous grower and free bloomer, they pay well at half the price of those of the labiata section. The flowers are usually produced during June and July, sometimes as late as August, and are of a pale, pinkish lilac color, the lip be- ing tinged with yellow. Strong bulbs attain a height of twenty-four inches. The cool end of the cattleya house suits this variety well and it grows equally well in either pots or baskets. One large grower succeeds remarkably well with it by hanging his baskets near the ridge of a long house, where they are close to the light and air and not too heavily shaded, even in sum- mer. For many purposes this cattleya is much superior to the larger flowered ones, and it is worthy the attention of all who have a call for summer cat- tleyas. Masdevallias. Masdevallias are but little seen now- adays, the craze for the big and fancy varieties causing these and other in- teresting genera to be neglected. While they will never become popular as com- mercial orchids, they contain some charming subjects, which, when nicely flowered, interest and please all who love orchids. At the present time the various forms of M. Harryana, with their rich colorings, are particularly at- tractive in the cool orchid house and the flowers have excellent lasting prop- erties, either cut or on the plant. Treat- ment which suits Odontoglossum crispum answers well for masdevallias. We find they do best in pots and pans, and some sphagnum moss added to the fern fiber seems to their liking, with a few pieces, also, pricked into the surface of the compost. Masdevallias, growing as they do in the cold ravines of the Andes in Peru and Colombia, at elevations of 8,000 to 12,000 feet, do not take kindly to our summer hot waves. From June to September, therefore, they are better grown in a north house or sunk pit, where they can be kept cool and moist and be shaded from the sun's rays. Masdevallias, having no bulbs, are hard orchids to transport from their native habitats to either Europe or the United States, and a large part of them are usually dead on arrival. One of the prettiest table centerpieces we ever saw was a large, beautifully flowered pan of the pure white Colombian species, M. Tovarensis. This variety blooms in midwinter, which makes it useful. Masdevallias are free flower- ing, and where even a dozen plants are grown there is scarcely a day in the year when they are without flowers. Dendrobimn Phalsenopsis. Dendrobium Phalsenopsis, a most use- ful fall and winter blooming den- drobe, of which the form Schrcederi- anum is the one most in favor, suc- ceeds best in small pans or baskets. It is a big mistake to give it large receptacles to grow in. The finest pseudo-bulbs we ever saw were pro- .duced in 6-inch baskets. The plants are now suspended in a warm, moist house, close to the glass. In common with such sorts as formosum giganteum, nobile and many hybrids, they are freely syringed about the middle of the afternoon and the house closed to create a brisk, moist heat. These grow- ing conditions suit most of the den- drobes, and D. Phalsnopsis seems specially to revel in it. For cutting, this is by long odds the finest of all dendrobiums, its long racemose in- florescences carrying as many as fifteen to twenty-five flowers and buds. CATTLEYA MOSSI^ ALBA. There are quite a number of white forms of Cattleya Mossiee, which vary- from such pure white varieties as C. Mossia; Wagneri, without any color ex- cept the yellow of the lips, to the various Reineckianas, which have pure white sepals and petals, but have slate coloring on the lip in some cases and at other times and more frequently an orange disk and rays of violet lines and dots towards the margin. As a general rule, these white cattleyas, beautiful as they undoubtedly are, lack the vigor of the colored ones. The Reineckianas, however, possess considerable vigor and seem to thrive almost as well as the ordinary type. In new importations of Mossiae now arriving and purchasable at moderate rates, there is always a likelihood of one or more of these white forms ap- pearing. In the illustration the plant at the extreme left is Wagneri; the others are Reineckianas. A beautiful plant of the latter, carrying eleven handsome flowers, secured for its owner a silver medal for the best specimen cattleya at the recent big orchid show in Boston. W. N. C. DOUBLE CORNFLOWERS. Will you inform me as to the best way to grow the double cornflower for early spring? Can it be sown in the fall, as the single varieties are sown outdoors? H. K. The double cornflower can be treated precisely the same as the single varieties, either by sowing in fall or in early spring. C.

Its Popularity Increases. Peonies continue to grow in favor each year and there are many reasons why this is so. They are among the hardiest of all herbaceous perennials; once planted, they are good for a num- ber of years, improve in value yearly and rarely fail to give an abundance of flowers; they are comparatively free from the insects and blights that affect nearly every plant grown, whether hardy . or tender, and all these quali- ties make them easily cared for. Given generous ground and a liberal top-dress- ing each fall, they will yield an abun- dance of high-grade flowers. Over a large section of the country the peony crop was this year unusually good, thanks to generous rainfalls. Here and there some damage was done to flower buds by late, severe spring frosts. The loss, however, from this cause has not been serious. Every florist who grows for his own retail trade should grow some peonies; not only the flowers, but the roots can be disposed of. Even today stock of really first-class commercial varieties is none too abundant. No effort should be made to grow a lot of varieties; one or two of each color is far better. The cheapest are in many cases the poorest, and in buying peonies it is far better to pay 50 cents per root for really good sorts, in colors which will sell on sight, rather than roots at a fourth this price, of varieties which may grow luxuriantly, but which no one will want to buy. Some Good Whites. Pure white and pink are the two popular selling colors. Rose sells fairly well, and for dark red there is a moderate call only. The purplish shades no one wants at any price. No white variety as yet rivals Festiva maxima in popularity; it has a larger sale than any other peony. The variety Festiva, of dwarfer habit and with smaller flow- ers, should not be overlooked. Cou- ronne d'Or, with pure white globular flowers and yellow stamens, is a charm- ing variety. The inner petals are not infrequently tipped with crimson. The flowers have a fine odor. Calot's va- riety of Duchesse de Nemours is one of the finest sulphury whites for commer- cial use. The flowers are sweet scented. Marie Lemoine, once tried, will always be grown. Its big, pure white flowers are of perfect form. A fine variety is Mme. de Vemeville, with the inner petals sometimes flaked with carmine. Eugene Verdier is one of the grand- est of whites of globular form, which no one will make any mistake in buy- ing. Queen Victoria is an inexpensive and deservedly popular sort. The broad guard petals open blush, but change to pure white. This peony ships well and is an excellent commercial variety. Mme. Calot is another lovely pure white, with large guard petals. Mme. Crousse is a good white; the central petals are edged with bright carmine. Mme. de Vatry, pure white, with beau- tiful blush guard petals; Duke of Wel- lington, sulphur white, sweet scented, and La Tulipe, snow white, slightly laced with crimson and rose-scented, are all excellent in their color. Some Fine Pinks. In soft pinks, which in hot weather will turn almost white if left too long on the plant. Marguerite Gerard has a large, handsome flower, carried on ex- tra strong stems, of a beautiful soft pink shade; Jeanne d'Arc is not a clear pink, being shaded with sulphur yellow and prettily marked with carmine, an excellent and robust growing variety; Mme. Breon is of an exquisite peach blossom color and blooms freely; Mme. Ducel, a beautiful, full flesh flower, with silvery shading, is one of the finest globular pinks in commerce; Albert Crousse, soft, clear blush pink, is extra fine; the old Pottsii alba is really more of a pink than a white, the guard pet- als being pink and the center blush. Among the deeper pinks and roses, Bastien Lepage, bright pink, tipped sil- ver, is among the best; Due de Gazes, blooming in clusters, is of a deep pink shade, the center being salmon; Mme. Lebon has a full, double flower of a clear rose color; the old Humei is a useful late sort, of a brilliant rose color; Duchesse d e Nemours (Gue- rin's variety) is a large petaled deep rose variety, while in Mme. Fur- tado the deep rose guard petals make a pleasing contrast to the salmon-col- ored center. Red peonies do not meet with a heavy sale and should not be grown to any considerable extent. Francois Ortegat, purplish crimson; Marechal Vaillant, deep crimson, and Louis van Houtte, rich purple crimson, are good and in- expensive varieties. This list does not include some of the newer and higher priced sorts, but all are good, useful market varieties. It is a good plan, while peonies are in bloom, to mark undesirable ones and make a note of good kinds which ought to be bought. Planting is much better done in late summer or early fall than in spring; August 1 to October 1 is a suitable time. Where it is intended to leave the plants growing for a few years, the rows should not be nearer than four feet apart. HABDY BOADSIDE FEBNS. We have inquiries from time to time for ferns to plant outside that are hardy, such as are found in the roads in this part of Indiana. Can these be obtained from the growers of ferns or can the plants be obtained at allt If so, by what name are they known, as we should be pleased to have some- thing along this line? M. S. W. C. Some of the large dealers in ferns also carry various hardy species in stock, and it is highly probable that such stock may be located by writing to some of the growers who advertise in The Review. Among the many fine, hardy ferns, the following species are particularly attractive: Adiantum pedatum; As- pidium Felix Mas, A, acrostichoides and A. aculeatum; Osmunda regalis and O. Claytoniana; Dicksonia punctilobula, Onoclea sensibilis, some of the asple- niums, and Camptosorus rhizophyllus. The last mentioned is the plant the Indians named the Walking Leaf, from its habit of forming young plants at the tip of its fronds. W. H. T. ONE-YEAS-OLD TABLE FEBNS. What is the best use to make of one-year-old table ferns during sum- mer! If they are planted in a frame under lath shade and the fronds are cut for design work, could the plants be divided in fall and used to fill fern dishes during the winter? H. L. V. T. If the ferns are planted out in a frame for the summer and the fronds are cut for design work, as suggested in this query, the plants will be of no value for filling ferneries the fol- lowing winter, for divided stock of such species does not make the same compact and shapely growth that is found on seedling plants. It would probably pay better to pot on the ferns into 4-inch pots and keep them in the frame for the summer, cov- ered with a lath shade, as such stock is found useful by many florists during June 30, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 11 the winter, either for retailing or m various forms of decoration. W. H. T. NEPHBOUIPIS IN SUMMER. Where planted in benches, nephrol- epis are now making an abundance of nice runners. Give the beds a light surface dressing of well decayed cow manure. It improves the plants won- derfully. Let anyone who labors un- der the delusion that ferns do not re- quire or appreciate manure try this and be convinced. Nephrolepis should not be heavily shaded. Of course, they want some shade on the glass, but just enough to break the sun's rays, with- out making the house appear dark on Cloudy days. If you have no spare bench to plant out your nephrolepis in and would still like to do so, try them under coldframe sashes, either plunged or planted out. Many other ferns will also make far better growth there than in the green- houses. Where adiantums are grown in frames, snails are occasionally trouble- some and it is best to scatter some air- slaked lime over the ground and then .scratch it over with a fine rake before placing the ferns in it. NEPHROLEPIS NEUBERTI. At the spring flower show, which took place at Paris, France, from May 24 to 31, the firm of E. Neubert, Wands- bek, Germany, exhibited for the first time its new introduction of ferns, Nephrolepis Neuberti, a sport from the Nephrolepis Whitmani. This new va- riety is described as having the same good qualities as Nephrolepis Whit- mani, but as being much finer in foliage and as carrying its fronds quite up- right. This variety has been tested by E. Neubert for some years and was grown side by side with the most prominent of recent nephrolepis, such as N. magnifica, Amerpohlii, Lycopo- doides, Todeaoides, etc., and has proved itself in many respects superior to all these and possessing the best qualities as a commercial fern. It has found the unanimous approval of IVench gar- deners and amateurs and was decorated with a silver medal. TULIPS NOT FLOWERING. Under separate cover I am sending you a tulip. Can you tell me why it did not flower? I notice in taking them up that those that did not flower started from the center of the bulb and pro- duced only one large leaf, like the one enclosed. I notice that the flowering bulbs start from the root of the bulb. They were planted in the fall of 1908 and flowered finely last year. This year about twenty per cent flowered. J. E. You do not state the variety of tulip which flowered unsatisfactorily. As a general rule, the early flowering sec- tion, generally classed as bedding tulips, do poorly if left in the ground a second year. These should always be lifted shortly after flowering, heeled in the ground in a partially shaded spot and later lifted and stored in flats when the tops have matured. If treated thus, a much larger proportion will flower the following season than if left in the ground. Early tulips rarely are as good the second year as the first. On the other hand, a large proportion Julius Roehrs. of the late flowering Cottage, Darwin and other tulips succeed finely for sev- eral years undisturbed, if given a good mulch of rotted manure each fall. These, when lifted, also give much more satis- factory returns than the early sorts a second season. It is difficult to give the precise cause for your bulbs not flowering, but your case is not at all an unusual one. C. W. JULIUS ROEHRS, SR. Julius Eoehrs, St., founder of the firm of Julius Eoehrs Co., at Eutherford, N. J., was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1844. He served three years in the bo- tanical gardens at Kiel, Holstein, and went from that city to Erfurt and Dres- den. In 1865 he came to America, having been appointed head gardener for Mr. Liienan, of Jersey City, who at that time was beginning to form a collection of orchids. In 1868 Mr. Lienan returned to Germany, and his whole collection of or- chids and stove plants was sold. Mr, Eoehrs then took over Mr. lie- nan's greenhouses and started business as a general florist. He also built some greenhouses on Prospect street, Jersey City Heights, where he grew roses and carnations for his retail trade. He did not remain in the retail business, how- ever, for more than five years. When the Lienan greenhouses were torn down Mr. Eoehrs moved entirely to Jersey City Heights, where he made a specialty of growing hybrid perpetual roses under glass. With these he was remarkably successful. When again compelled to look for a new site, he bought a large tract of land in Eutherford, N. J., and removed his complete establishment to that place, where it is now located. He continued to give his chief attention to the grow- ing of hybrid perpetual roses until the profits in that line were curtailed by the appearance of the American Beauty, which forced the older varieties to take a back seat. At this juncture he began the handling of palms, stove and green- house plants, and to his many other va- rieties of stock he also gradually added orchids. At present he justly prides himself in having one of the finest and most com- plete commercial collections of orchids on this continent, occupying a range of fourteen houses. He married, in 1877, a German lady — Miss Schroeder. He has seven children, five boys and two girls. The two eldest sons, Julius and Edouard, are now asso- ciated with him in business. TO DESTROY MOLES. We should like to know what is the best poison to kill moles. We are not successful with traps. E. N. I have not been successful in destroy- ing moles by poison. I have great faith in the Eeddick mole trap. None of the little rodents can pass through this and live. No other mole trap I ever tried at all equals this one. Per- haps some other readers, who are in the habit of fighting these little ani- mals, have had better success in the use of poison and their experiences would be welcome. C.

Cyclamen should now get careful at- tention, for in the coming three months they "will either make good plants or be failures. Be certain that they are not allowed to become potbound, or chances of their doing well are much lessened. If, perchance, they do become a little matted, loosen the roots a trifle with a pointed stick before potting them on. There can be no better place for cyla- mens between now and the end of Sep- tember than coldframes, where the plants are close to the light, the glass clear and shade provided by lath cov- erings, which also keep the plants cooler. Keep the sashes open, both top and bottom, all the time. This is easily arranged by making a temporary wooden framework a few inches above the present level of the sashes and standing the latter on this. This al- lows a current of fresh air to strike the plants all the time. Keep thrips down by spraying with some nicotine extract once a week. This is better than fumi- gating. On cool, cloudy days remove the sashes altogether, also at night, when there is no likelihood of heavy rains. Eemember that the plants enjoy light sprayings overhead. This can be done thrice a day during hot weather with advantage. Palms. Possibly rains may have washed off considerable of the shading applied to the glass some time ago. Where this has happened, it will be necessary to use some more whitening on the roof, as some palms are quite easily scorched. The stronger the light, the paler colored will be the foliage, and it is the dark green plants which people want. As growth is now tolerably rapid, it as- sists plants, which have the pots or tubs well filled with roots, if they re- ceive some weak cow manure water once a week. Soot water is also good, both for palms and ferns, making the leaves and fronds a rich green color. Air freely, now that the days are so warm, and keep plenty of moisture in the atmosphere. A couple of hosings overhead on clear days should also be given. Let these be given with a care- fully directed pressure, which will not only help to keep the foliage clear of dirt, but also will assist materially in preventing the spread of scale. Where the latter is troublesome we find an ex- cellent insecticide to be Aphine at the rate of one part to fifteen parts of water. This loosens up the scale so that it will come off when a good pres- sure from the hose is applied the fol- lowing day. Probably you may have your palm house overcrowded, and, rather than let the plants spoil one another, select some of the larger and tougher leaved kinds and stand outdoors well under the shade of trees. Here they will grow well; better, in fact, than under glass. All they need is water, shade and free syringings overhead. They should not be placed where the sun can reach them. Latanias, phoenix and kentias will all do well outdoors treated in this way, and, in addition to palms, many other foliage plants, especially those of large size, are much benefited by being kept outdoors for three months. Rambler Boses for Forcing. Rambler roses should now be carry- ing some long, strong canes if kept in pots under glass, which is the best place for them yet a while. Keep the shoots securely tied up and, in the case of Dorothy Perkins, Hiawatha and other varieties, which send up numerous shoots from the ground, it will be necessary to disbud some of these and restrict the number left on each plant to four or five. Use the hose freely on the plants, so that no red spider can get any foothold, and at the same time do not stand them where drafts will cause mildew to attack them. A month hence these ramblers can be plunged outdoors and their canes securely tied to some light, temporary fence. Thej are far better adapted for forcing than the plants customarily potted up in the fall. Bouvardias. Look over the bouvardia plants in the field. They will now be growing quite rapidly. Keep the shoots well pinched back to give them a bushier habit. On the variety Humboldtii, quite a little flower appears even thus early, and it is a useful subject for bouquet work. It is easy timing this plant so as to have blooms on it out- doors from early in June until October by pinching some plants and allowing others to bloom. These latter soon break again and give a good late sum- mer crop. Digitalis. Never were digitalis finer than dur- ing the present month, it being no un- usual thing to see spikes standing six to seven feet high. If you have not yet sown your seed, lose no time in do- ing so. This is one of the best hardy plants for perennial borders and shrub- beries, also for naturalizing in shady woodlands, and there are many cus- tomers who, if they could see a good bed or clump in flower, would want to order plants for another season. The seed is small. Sow thinly and cover lightly. Shade until the seeds appear, which is usually in about a week 's time. Then afford full light. Do not allow the seedlings to be- come too large or crowded before trans- planting them. This latter operation should, of course, be done when the ground is moist and the day overcast. Allow the seedlings nine inches in the rows, as they make remarkable growth in late summer. Digitalis winters out all right if covered with some thin ma- terial, just suflSeient to exclude light, but not heavy enough when wet to weigh down and rot the plants. [Continued on page 32.] ^^1^ WINTER GEBANIUMS. With pressuie of other duties, win- ter geraniums are liable to be neglected. They should never be allowed to get into a potbound condition until they are in their blooming pots. It is then a benefit to have them well matted, as this checks too luxuriant growth, hard- ens up the wood and makes them bloom much more profusely than the over- potted ones. Keep all flower trusses picked off. Pinch the tops out of the strongest plants. Do not give them any shade. Spread them out from time to time and let them have all the air possible. Winter geraniums can be grown outdoors during the summer months, but are more under control and do much better in a cool, light, airy greenhouse. Try both plans and be convinced. NAMES OF GERANIUMS. I am enclosing a floret of geranium blossoms. The plant is a nice, stocky grower. The color of the bloom seems to be lighter red than S. A. Nutt, and the florets resemble half open roses and the trusses are large and full. Can you tell me the name of this geranium and where I can obtain stock of itt Is there a darker red geranium than this which has florets resembling miniature roses? Also is there a good darker red geranium than S. A. Nutt? L. S. The flowers forwarded were too much faded for correct identification, but most nearly resemble Alphonse Ricard, which is a bright vermilion scarlet, of ideal habit and a splendid sort either for bedding or pot culture. E. H. Trego is another fine bright scarlet. Colossus is somewhat darker than S. A. Nutt, which, however, remains the most popu- lar dark red today. Colossus is well worthy of a trial. It is of a rich, dark crimson color, trusses big and individual florets of exceptional size. The plants also possess great vigor. Any of the varieties can be procured from gera- nium specialists advertising in the col- umns of The Review. C. W. June 30, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review. 18 OUTDOOR SWEET PEAS. While the indoor crop of sweet peas is now getting poorer and full of spider, the outdoor plants are yielding an abundance of splendid flowers. As both roses and carnations are now rapidly deteriorating in quality, it behooves us to take good care of the sweet peas, as they are the most generally useful and popular of summer cut flowers. A gen- erous mulch between the rows is of im- mense benefit, now that we are getting hot, dry weather. Note the color of foliage, height of vines, length of flower stems and general vigor of mulched over unmulched rows. Keep the flowers closely picked and remove seed pods carefully. If these latter are allowed to develop, the vines will speedily decline in vigor. Sweet peas love moisture at the root. They also enjoy syringings overhead on the evenings of hot days. We prefer to pick the flowers as soon as the dew has gone in the morning. If picked damp on a hot day and placed in a cold room, the chances are that many will spot. If you cannot afford time to mulch your rows, do the next best thing and keep the soil con- stantly cultivated. Do not be afraid of stirring the soil too much; the more frequently it is done, the better they will grow. WINTER SWEET PEAS. Could sweet peas be grown for the winter at a profit in a house 20x100, for out-of-town shipment! If so, what varieties would be best for the market? A. B. The most successful greenhouse cultivators of sweet peas find that there is more money in sweet peas coming into bloom from March to July than in such as bloom from October to February. Some growers, however, make them pay as a winter crop. Suit- able varieties to grow are: Mont Blanc, Florence Denzer and Watchung, all pure white; Christmas Pink, extra early Blanche Ferry, pink and white; Mrs. Alex. Wallace, lavender. In order to have sweet peas early in November it will be necessary to sow seeds not later than the middle of July. C. W. ASPARAGUS WITH SWEET PEAS. Can asparagus be successfully grown in a temperature of 48 to 50 degrees, in the same house with sweet peast F. D. S. 1 presume you refer to the common garden vegetable and not to A. plumo- 8U8 or A. Sprengeri. A sweet pea house is hardly adapted to asparagus culture. Of course, in a temperature of 48 to 50 degrees it will grow, but slowly; 60 to 65 degrees at night would suit it much better. We assume you want to force this asparagus for winter use and would, therefore, advise you to give it a warmer house. Single violets do well with sweet peas. They can be planted between the pea rows and pulled out when the latter shade them too much. C. W. tions. They always show the dryness on the edges and other portions of the leaves to a greater or less extent. I fertilized heavily with a barnyard fer- tlizer, usually well decomposed cattle manure. Are the bulbs useless for fur- ther greenhouse use? Shall I secure fresh bulbs? C. D. D. WEAK GROWTH OF OALLAS. How long will calla lily bulbs be re- liable for winter blooming if thoroughly rested from the beginning of June un- til the beginning of August? What causes the dried, burnt-like parts of the foliage? My callas this year grew tall and the stems were weak. They are from the same bulbs as I have used for two years previously, but they did not formerly develop such weak stems, flowers and foliage. They bloomed freely, gave fine blooms and seemed thrifty, but during the last month or so they have developed this weakness. They were grown in the same solid bed every year and under the same condi- I have grown calla bulbs for eight to ten years with excellent success. I plan usually to select a number of the strong offsets and grow several of these in 6-inch and 8-inch pots. I plant them outdoors in rich ground in early June, instead of drying them off. They make splendid bulbs outdoors and, if care- fully lifted and potted, will flower capi- tally the following winter. We like to pot, rather than plant directly into the beds or benches. They do better when partially established in pots first. The reason for the diseased condition of your foliage is hard to tell without any cultural data to judge from. They succeed well in a compost of well de- cayed cow manure and turfy loam, such as would grow good violets, chrysan- themums or carnations. A common error is to dry them off too suddenly when the flowering season ends. Do this gradually and you will find the tubers are much better. If your stock is all unsatisfactory, it would be better to make a clean start with new roots. Callas, when well established, like an abundant water supply and liquid manure is beneficial. In using the latter, however, care is necessary. This is powerful and burn- ing in its nature, unless well diluted. The safest plan is to fill a bag with, the manure and sink it in a barrel of water. Then apply the liquid, but in a diluted form. C. W. PLANTS RUNNING TO BUD. I am writing to you to ask for a lit- tle information in regard to my chry- santhemums. I have had them benched a little over a week. They are about eight inches high. All of them, whether early, midseason or late, are throwing buds. I cut them back two eyes and still the buds come. I have never had this trouble before. I am growing the same kind of plants this year as I did last. I have also added five or six of the new mums to my collection, and they are doing the same. There are some kinds that always throw an early bud, but usually, when they are pinched back as I have done, thev start off all right. *A. D. H. The trouble spoken of by A. D. H. is a common one at this season of the year. It is caused frequently by the plants having been neglected in the early stages and becoming consider- ably potbound. This, when the plants are not getting an adequate supply of water, causes the wood to become hard and the consequence is that the plants run into bud, instead of pushing right along as they would have done had they been grown without any check of any kind. Any variety will do this, if abused in the' manner described, but some varieties are prone to do it, even under the best of conditions and care. A. D. H. would have done better if, in place of cutting them back to two eves, he had simply kept the buds close- ly pinched off, and in this case the ]ilants would, after a time, have begun to grow. Now that the plants are cut back, he will have to wait for a sucker to appear for his future plants. Kvery spring we get crops of com- plaints' of just this character, and a good deal of it is due to climatic con- ditions, because the weather in the spring is somewhat similar to that in the fall; that is, there is a low tem- perature at night, sometimes running to freezing, with clear, bright days. 1 have had the theory advanced to me that this trouble only comes on Aus- tralian varieties, showing that the plants have not yet become acclimated in .\merica, and want to flower in the spring, that being the natural flowering period, the months of April and May, in Australia. This is an untenable the- ory, becnuse our native American seed- 14 The Weekly Florists' Review. JnNB 30, 1010. lings will do just the same thing, in practically the same way. All A. D. H. can do is to keep the plants liberally sprayed, not getting the benches too wet, and take up the first shoot that shows any intention of push- ing ahead. C. H. Totty. OUTDOOR DOUBLE VIOLETS. Are Marie Louise violets hardy in central New York? If not, what double blue violet should I get to give me an outdoor bed that will live from year to year in that latitude? H. D. W. Marie Louise violets would not win- ter out in central New York, nor do we know of any other double variety which will do so. Some fifteen or twenty years ago we grew a dark blue, strongly scented violet under the name of double Eussian, which proved hardy and gave a heavy crop of flowers in spring. The stems were rather short, but the odor was delicious. We have lost sight of this violet for quite a number of years. Perhaps, however, some other readers may know what it is and where procurable. C. W. WHEN IN DOUBT- TBIMMING HEDGES. Hedges of California privet (Ligus- trum ovalifolium) or any of the other ligustrums, such as Amurense, Ibota or Regelianum, should now have their first trimming if a good, dense hedge is de- sired. The first named privet retains its popularity in many states, being handsome of foliage and rapid growing. In the Bolder states, however, it is not worth planting. It may live out one or two winters, then a cold wave will cut it to the ground. Where minimum temperatures of 10 degrees below zero or lower are recorded, it is a pure waste of time planting this privet, but where zero is the absolute minimum there is no better or more beautiful hedge plant. A pair of common hand shears is all right for trimming and the young growths should be headed in tolerably hard, especially where the hedges have reached the desired height. Berberis Thunbergii loses much of its beauty when sheared closely. It is bet- ter to use a pair of secateurs and merely shorten the longer shoots, unless a stiff, formal hedge is desired. Grown natur- ally, this is the most beautiful decidu- ous hedge plant we have. The Cra- taegus or hawthorns will also be better with a trimming now. It helps to thicken them up wonderfully. All these hedges should have a further trimming early in August. Evergreen hedges, such as hemlock spruce, Norway spruce, American ar- borvitsB and retinospora, should not be trimmed for some time yet; the end of July is a suitable period. Ask The Beview. The Review is glad to answer any questions that pertain to trade affairs. Q. — I can pick an average of 500 sweet peas a day; my local market does not take them all and I would be giad to know of a reliable firm I could ship them to from Tennessee. Ans. — All winter and in early spring there was a first-class sale for the best sweet peas in most of the wholesale centers, but peas are difficult to ship any dis- tance in shape to compete with local flowers, especially in warm weather. If your local trade will not take them we do not know of any other that will. Q. — Some time ago we saw an ad that offered goldfish and globes; whose was it? Ans. — Probably the Auburn- dale Goldfish Co., 920 Randolph street, Chicago, or Henry Bishop, 12 N. Front street, Baltimore. In writing, mention The Review. Q. — Would it be profitable to grow asters, sweet peas, Shasta daisies, etc., here in Texas for the Chicago market?

Schramm, junior member of the firm of Schramm Bros., Toledo, O., passed away Friday, June 24, at 3 p. m., after an illness of fifteen hours. Some years ago he resided in Chicago, where he was employed by Wieter Bros, and George Reinberg. For four years he was with Boehringer Bros., of Bay City, Mich., and for the last three years he was a member of the firm which bore his name. He was born in 1878. He was mar- ried two and one-half years ago to a young lady of Bay City. He leaves a wife and two small children. The funeral was held Monday morning, June 27, at St. Mary's church, in Toledo. J. W. Smith. J. W. Smith, proprietor of the Mari- etta Greenhouses, at Marietta, O., died June 12, of tuberculosis, at the age of 35 years. He was cheerful and hopeful till the last and was much esteemed by all who knew him. There was a large attendance at the funeral. The Modern Woodmen, the Odd Fel- lows and the Knights of Pythias at- tended in a body, and also presented handsome floral emblems. The services at the grave were conducted by the Odd Fellows. The business will be continued by F. E. Thompson, the pres- ent superintendent. W. J. Nutting. William James Nutting, senior mem- ber of the firm of Nutting & Sons, Ltd., the wholesale seedsmen of Southwark street, London, England, died at Brom- ley, Kent, June 12, in his eighty-third year. The firm was founded in 1882 by the father of the deceased, who formed it into a private company in 1909. Mr. Nutting was well known in the English colonies, having traveled for his firm for a considerable number of years. He was formely a member of the fruit and vegetable committee of the Royal Horticultural Society. Until eight years ago he was also a member of the com- mittee of the Gardeners' Royal Ben- evolent Institution. On retiring from this committee, his place was filled by the election of his nephew, H. W. W. Nutting. The prirci'^al members of the firm are now Whitpaine Nutting, at present a member of the executive committee of the Royal Gardeners' Orphan Fund, and two nephews of the deceased. Mr. Nutting was always a liberal supporter of benevolent institutions, especially of those connected with horticulture, and he possessed a kindly ition, that endeared him to all his acquaintances. \ Hem^ Cannell, Jr. Henry Cannetlj^uJr., eldest son of Henry Cand^, ^f ^he firm of H. Can- nell & Son8,\ai_^MinIe7 and Eynesford, Kent, EnglandyJ^d June 12, as the re- sult of blood poisoning caused by a kick from a pony. The young man had sole charge of the clerical work con- nected with the business, including gen- eral office work, the compiling of cata- logues and the descriptions of new plants. His wife died seven years ago, leaving one son and one daughter. Henry CanneU, Sr., has the sincere sympathy of the trade in this affliction. His youngest son, Ernest, died in 1907, and Robert Cannell, of Eynesford, is the only son now surviving. Greenfield, Mass.— E. A. Richards has no kick coming. He intends branching out to meet the increasing demand. Lake City, Minn.— The Jewell Nurs- ery Co. has purchased an auto for the use of its representative at the Twin Cities. June 30, 1910.

North Adams, Mass. — August Schmutz is a specialist on standard grown gera- niums, fuchsias, heliotropes and Ian- tanas. Many specimens find their way to the fine Lenox gardens, at from $3.50 to $5 each. Salt Lake City, Utah.— William Wil- son and D. E. Law, who for some months have been the owners and managers of the Salt Lake Floral Co., at 1950 State street, have dissolved partnership. The business will be continued by Mr. Wil- son. Indianapolis, Ind. — Much good work was done by Baur & Smith and by E. A. Nelson in preparing the grounds for this season's opening of the Summer Mission for Sick Children. Numerous flower boxes were placed and filled and the grounds were completely trans- formed. Both firms contributed their services and the plants used. Missoula, Mont. — Chas. F. Dallman, of the Missoula Nursery Co., is erect- ing greenhouses which will double his area of glass. The additions in- clude a rose house. New boilers have been installed and the work of con- struction is of a most substantial na- ture, including concrete benches. Mr. Dallman expresses the hope that these enlarged facilities will enable him to meet the increasing demand. Oreat Neck, N. Y. — Warren H. Man- ning, Boston landscape gardener, has been engaged by G. L. Stone, also of that city, to lay out Mr. Stone's newly acquired estate out here. Mr. Stone is a banker and broker, and a member of the firm of Hayden & Stone. His plans for the improvement of the Great Neck property are magnificent in their scope. H. C. Flint has been appointed super- intendent of the estate and charged with the responsibility of carrying out Mr. Manning's plans. South Braintree, Mass. — Edward T.

Torn- quist has had an excellent spring season and is figuring on adding to his glass during the summer. Bome, N. Y. — Mothers ' day was quite generally observed in this city, and there was a large increase in the sale of flowers, especially white carnations. Dubuque, la. — W. A. Harkett, at Ninth and Main streets, has one of the best arranged and furnished stores to be found in cities of equal size and has had a fine spring business. June has been especially good. WalUngford, Conn.— The Rowden & Mitchell Co. has invested in a horse- less machine and claims that, as an advertisement alone, it has already paid for itself. They are spreading out, but do not expect to put up more glass this season. Petersburg, Va. — The Arrowfield Nur- sery Co. has been incorporated, with a capital of $2,500 to $25,000, for the purpose of carrying on a florists' busi- ness. W. N. Roper is president; Editli M. Hutt, vice-president; W. N. Hutt, secretary and treasurer. Orange, N. J. — The New Jersey Flori- cultural Society has issued the premium list for its fifth annual dahlia show, to be held at Lindsley ban, on Main street, in this city, October 1. The officers of the society are: President, Albert F. Larson; vice-president, Dietrich Kinds- gral; secretary, Wm. Reid, 363 Center street, Orange, N. J.; treasurer, Walter Gray. Albion, Mich.— H. F. Dew has de- veloped and placed on the market a strawberry which he believes to be the largest, most luscious, and in every way the nearest to perfection in the whole strawberry list, and he has ap propriately named it the Dewdrop. In his efforts to evolve this ideal product his first encouraging result, he says, was a fruit which had the desirable size but lacked the requisite fragrance and flavor. In order to obtain these qualities, he found a wild berry which undoubtedly possessed them, and with this wild fruit he fertilized the old stock. Then, after a series of care- ful annual selections during a period of seven years, his experiments culmi- nated in the Dewdrop, concerning which, it is said, he has just reason to be enthusiastic. Seattle, Wash. — Sam Graff is visiting at his former home in Chicago. Fort Wayne, Ind.— W. J. & M. S. Vescy are planning to go rather ex- tensively into the growing of orchids for cutting. Chicopee Falls, Mass. — Frank Burfitt has put in a busy time planting by day tind making design work at night. His side partner is a clever artist. Tjrrone, Pa. — Wm. H. Brause is build- ing another greenhouse this summer. He had a heavy spring trade, which cleaned out all available stock. Kensington, P. E. I. — A. W. Gardiner, formerly in business as a grower and importer at Springfield, Mass., has re- moved to this place. Buffalo, N. Y.— The Buffalo Cement Co. will add one iron-frame house, 30x120 feet, to its present range at Main and Amherst streets. The King Construction Co. will furnish the ma- terial. Eochester, N. Y. — Ellwanger & Barry invited the public to inspect their grounds during the peony season and again while the roses were in bloom, with the result that they had large numbers of visitors and received a fine write-up in one of the local papers. Hartford, Conn. — John Coombs says the demand for bedding stock was phe- nomenal this season. S. A. Nutt is the most popular geranium; everyone want- ed red. His stock looks fine. That $10,- 000 carnation house has paid a big in- terest, although the first crop was ruined by gas. Aphine will be used ^h£ its place. V^ Melrose, Mass. — The annual rose show of the Melrose Horticultural and Improvement Society, which was held June 19 in Hawthorne hall, proved so great a success that it was decided to continue it on the following day and to throw the doors open to the public. This was done and the attendance sur- passed anything in the history of the organization. All of the exhibitors were amateurs. Salt Lake City, Utah.— The Salt Lake Floral Co. has been sending in unusually heavy cuts of roses, carna- tions and peonies and the quality has been fine. Judging from the number of houses now being built and pro- jected here, it seems quite likely that this city will soon be shipping roses to Denver and even to more distant mar- kets. The demand for flowers here and in neighboring towns, for school graduations and other purposes, has been heavy and the retailers are well satisfied with results. 16 The Weekly Florists' Review* June 30, 1010.

The president of the French republic has conferred upon M. Auguste Nonin the cross of the Legion of Honor in recognition of his services to French horticulture. M. Nonin is known through- out the world as the raiser of many good chrysanthemums. Greenhouse property is much easier to sell now than it will be later, when the price must include the value of the summer's work and the stock planted for next season's crops. The Want Ad de- partment of The Eeview brings buyers and sellers together. It is the custom of many firms in the trade to print their terms of sale on the top, bottom, or even on the back of let- ter-heads, but it has been well established in law that no part of that which may be on a letter-head is a part of a con- tract of sale except that part which ap- pears between the date line and the sig- nature, unless it be specially referred to in the body of the letter and thus brought practically within the letter it- self. PETER BABR MEMORIAL FUND. As chronicled in The Review some months ago, the members of the nar- cissus and floral committee of the Royal Horticultural Society, London, formed themselves into a general committee for the purpose of raising a fund to perpetuate the name of Peter Barr, and for the purpose of suitable recognition of his life work. Several men well known in the trade, not only in Eng- land but around the world, are members of the committee, but it transpires that, to quote from a letter from one of them, "the appeal has not been so well responded to as the promoters of this scheme could wish. ' ' Personal appeals for contributions from America have now been sent out and several who have received such have interested them- selves to the extent of sending out letters to the press, among these being David Fairchild and Peter Bisset, of the division of seed and plant intro- duction, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. The treasurer of the Peter Barr Me- morial Fund is H. B. May, Stanmore, Chingford, England. The committee as constituted has, of course, no American members, but those who wish to assist the fund, unless they wish to address the treasurer direct, doubtless will find either Mr. Fairchild or Mr. Bisset glad to receive and forward contributions.

The latest subscription swindler is reported from Toledo, O., where he took subscriptions for The Review at cut rates. Of course such subscriptions never are turned in to the publishers — and would not be accepted if they were — positively no one is authorized to offer The Eeview at less than the regu- lar subscription price. Don't be duped by these petty swindlers. Never pay money to strangers for The Review or on any other account. Review representatives all are well known members of the trade in their respective localities. THE GLASS MARKET. Glass factories are now pretty much shut down for the usual period of sum- mer inactivity, and stocks on hand, particularly of greenhouse sizes, are extremely low. There is, however, little fear of any considerable rise in prices between now and the resump- tion of production, partly because the larger requirements are by now pretty well filled, but also because prices are already about all that the traffic will bear. Within the last week 16x18 d. s. a. has sold at Chicago in 100-box lots at $4.15, and 16x24 at $4.55, or rather more than double the low prices of two years ago. And yet, with glass 7 to 9 cents per square foot, more of it has been sold for greenhouse use than in any previous season. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. The glut has passed. The principal difficulties wholesalers now experience arise from so great a proportion of the stock being below the grade required for shipping orders. (^uite in keeping with the experience of other years, no great length of time was required for the extreme heat and low prices to set the growers busily at work throwing out old stock and pre- paring for the new season. For this rea- son the receipts of roses are greatly re- duced, and the same may be said of carnations. There continue to be ade- quate supplies of roses, in spite of the reduction in quantity, but it is char- acteristic summer stock and it is by no means easy to fill orders. An im- mense amount of sorting is required, and even then the wholesalers find themselves under the necessity of doing a good deal of running around the market to fill their orders. The result is that anything which can be classed as good stock has a real value. All roses are bringing better prices than in the last few weeks. A large pro- portion of the stock is from young plants. Killarney and Kaiserin are the best varieties. Kaiserin never was finer. A good many growers have ceased cutting carnations, at least from a part of their places, and are beginning the work of clearing the houses for re- planting. It is said that plants in the field have generally made excellent growth, and early replanting is in order to get a good start for fall. The carna- tions now coming in are as good as could be expected at this date and in JUM£ 30. 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 17 1 ...FANCY SUMNER...

Sweet peas also are of the summer type. Indoor flowers still are seen, but the majority now come from out- side. Neither quality, demand nor price is what it was a week or so ago. Arrivals of peonies have ceased. It is said that the quantitj' in storage is less than it usually is at this date. There is great variation in the quality of stock. Some exceptionally line peo- nies are coming out of storage, selling readilj- at 75 cents to $1 per bunch, but there are others that are extremely slow sale at 3.j cents per bunch. The dejnand for the wedding flowers has subsided and vallej' once more is accumulating on wholesalers' hands. Gladioli are abundant, many of them of excellent cpiality, and meeting with fair sale. A few outdoor asters are com- ing in. Candidums from Michigan have glutted the market the last few days. Easter lilies are abundant, but slow sale. Coreopsis and gaillardia are plen- tiful. Water lilies figure in the retail- ers' windows. Last week was dull and grew duller as the week progressed, until Friday and Saturday, when receipts were sharply cut down and demand took a spurt. Many wholesalers say they were more closely cleaned up Saturday night than at any time in the last three weeks. They now are looking for a steady run of summer business. Ship- ping orders are fairly numerous, but not large. Out-of-town buyers should recall that beginning July 1 all the wholesale houses will aim to close promptly at 5 p. ni. It is a simple measure of safety to send orders early. Various Notes. The market has lost another of its oldest frequenters and well known char- acters— "Darby" is dead. As far back as the oldest remember, he was a fre- quenter of the wholesale houses, doing odd jobs for wholesalers or retailers as opportunity presented. Of late he had made his headquarters with Weiland & Eisch, assisting them as they needed his services. 'Taking his money Satur- day night, he started for the lodging house at which he lived. Crossing the street at Wabash avenue and Harrison street, he was struck by an electric car .ind died within a few moments. H. W. Rogers, of Weiland & Risch, was one of those who identified the remains. There was some difiiculty in ascertain- ing his real name, which appears to have been George R. Wheeldon. He is supposed to have a brother somewhere in Texas, whom the police are trying to notify. Once before Darby was hit by a street car; that time he spent sev- eral months in the County hospital. Wietor Bros, completed replanting their Beauty range early this week and are nearly through replanting the roses. C. W. McKellar, Mrs. McKellar and guests spent the week-end motoring to Lake Geneva, returning .Tune 28. E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., says he believes this will be one of the summers when good flowers will be scarce and in active demand. A. L. Randall was on his Michigan farm from Saturday to Wednesday. C. L. Washburn advocates closing all the wholesale houses on Sunday during July and August. He says replanting carnations will begin at Bassett & Washburn 's July 5. C. M. Dickinson is one of the com- mittee which is preparing an old-time Fourth of July celebration at Park Ridge. Kyle & Foerster say there is a fine sale for the best peonies, but that iiardly anyone wants the low grades. .7. H. McNeilly is doing a fine busi- ness at his new store on Sixty-third street. P. F. Scarry died at the home of his daughter, 1143 South Home avenue. Oak Park, 111., after a long illness with tuberculosis. He had been confined to his bed for two years. For more than twenty years Mr. Scarry had been a gardener in the employ of the west parks system in Chicago. The E. F. Winterson Co. received several hundreds of outdoor asters June 27, probably the first to reach this mar- ket. They came from southern Illinois.

Emil Buettner is putting in this sea- son two new return tube steam boilers, which are being manufactured for him by Kroeschell Bros. Co. He uses the Martin rocking grate. C. A. Samuelson has had an excep- tionally good June, an unusual number of wedding jobs having come to him. His largest for the season, and prob- ably the largest in Chicago this month, was the Harris wedding at Lake Ge- neva last week. Mr. Samuelson and three men went out in an automobile. Charles Klehm is spending his time in the market these days, giving per- sonal attention to the peonies which Klehm 's Nursery has in storage. The quantity is not as large as usual, be- cause of the frost injury in April. They did not cut and store anything but the best, and Mr. Klehm says he considers the prospect excellent for a good clean-up on really first-class peo- nies. June 30, 1910.

They say that the results greatly exceeded their expectations; that better drainage was obtained and that the cement benches were absolutely free from the bugs and insects that infest old wooden benches.

He reports an excel- lent season in bedding plants, both wholesale and retail. CINCINNATI. The Market. Business is dull. The wholesale houses have an oversupply of all kinds of stock. As a consequence, prices are still low. Nothing in the immediate future is apparent to help clean up the market. Boses, owing to drying down and re- housing, are not as plentiful as before and the quality is not what it was. My Maryland and Beauties are the excep- tion. They are holding up well. The demand last week inclined toward pink. The carnations are in large oversupply and some are somewhat off in color. The longiflorums, valley and Shasta daisies offered are exceptional in quality. Owing to the extremely hot, dry weather of the last fortnight, the stems on the sweet peas, though still long enough to work up easily, are not nearly what they were. Feverfews are also overabundant. Queen of the Market and Comet asters are of- fered. The supply of decorative greens is sufficient to meet all demands. Florists' Outing. The outing committee of the Florists' Society held a meeting at "William Mur- phy's June 27. The following tentative plan was agreed upon: The outing will be held at the Country Club, Carthage, O., July 21.

People in this vicinity, from the first part of June till this week, were cry- ing about the cold and rain. Now they arc crying for a shower and cooler weather, as the thermometer has been registering in the nineties for a week. Business, however, has stood the test pretty well and there is not much to complain of, unless the grower thinks he has a kick coming because all of the stock which is being forced in is not sold. But it cannot be sold, for the reason that the quantities of stock coming in are so great that without street fakers there could be no possible outlet for it, and our city will not stand street hawking. All of the men who have street stands must stay inside of the property line and pay a rent for the stands which is out of all reason in comparison with other stores.

However, from their own reports, there has been consid- erable cutting of prices. Notwithstanding the great heat, there are some fine roses, such as Kil- larney. White Killarney and Eichmond, still coming in, and Kaiserins are get- ting better every day. We did not have the usual number of large June weddings this year, and this would make one wonder why the cut flower business was greater than for several years. Possibly the fact that stock was so much better than usual had something to do with it. Quantities of sweet peas that came into this market last week were un- doubtedly fine when shipped, but were literally cooked when they came into the market. Various Notes. Mrs. E. C. Ludwig, who has been in the hospital for some weeks, was able to be taken home last Friday and, al- though she has not entirely recovered, her many friends among the trade will be pleased to know that her speedy recovery is anticipated. Monday, June 27, was ofiicial outing day for the Florists' Club and quite a number participated. They visited the Elliott Nurseries, at Cheswick, Pa. Gus A. Geng, of Youngstown, O., has the sympathy of his many friends in the trade on account of the loss of his wife, Mrs. Geng, who died Monday, June 20, and was buried Thursday. Mr. Kent, of Kent Bros., Newark, 0., was a visitor last week. Mr. Kent, while not a boy by any means, is quite a baseball fan and took in the Pitts- burg-Chicago game while here. Such things help some of the old fellows to keep young. The new electric line, which will come into Pittsburg over the Wabash tracks, will reach some of the florists, and will undoubtedly increase the value of the farms of Godwin & Sons, Bridgeville; M.

Last week's business was fairly good with some of the larger establishments, as there were several big funerals which used up a good deal of stock, and there was surely enough of it in the market for almost any size of order, with prices low, even on first grade stock. The lower grades are nearly all being dumped. The great glut of carnations and sweet peas all of last week kept the market in a deplorable condition. All roses are coming in bad, as the hot weather had a telling effect on them. Gladioli clean up well. There is hardly any sale for outdoor stock; only the few asters that come in sell well. There is plenty of all kinds of greens in the market. Various Notes. J. H. Dayton, of the Storrs & Harri- son Co., Painesville, O., and Thomas Meehan, of Thomas Meehan & Sons, Philadelphia, Pa., spent a day in the city while returning from Denver, where they attended the nurserymen's convention.

Beneke, of this committee, were unable to make the trip, owing to pre- vious business engagements. After the meeting Mr. Ammann entertained his guests with an automobile ride through the city. The issuing of the bulletin now will depend on the vote of the members at the July meeting of the club. W. P. Stark, president of the Ameri- can Association of Nurserymen, has ap- pointed Frank Weber chairman of the entertainment committee and J. W. Schuette chairman of the committee on exhibits for next year's convention. Both Mr. Weber and Mr. Schuette have returned from the convention, and say they had a great time and were finely entertained by the Denver florists, headed by Ex-President Valentine, of the S. A. F. Messrs. Weber and Schuette will have the assistance of the members of the local Florists' Club in enter- taining the nurserymen at next year's convention. It has been rumored about town that a new wholesale supply house on a co- operative plan, with profits divided pro rata, will be organized. If the plan goes through the new concern will open early in the fall. Ernest Hentschel, of Webster Groves, loft Saturday, June 25, for New York city. He will sail next week for a trip to Germany. He says he will re- turn early in September. Kalisch Bros, will this summer put their place in shape to grow only or- chids for the local trade. Their first attempt last year was successful. They say they will double their amount of plants for the coming season. The Diemer Floral Co., at South Broadway, made a large floral bridge, eight feet long, last week'' for the bridgeworkers ' union, who lost a fel- low member. The design was neatly executed by Mrs. Diemer. There were great quantities of sweet peas consigned to this market from Kirkwood last week. It was estimated that the growers combined sent in from 50,000 to 100,000 daily. The whole- salers say that a great many of them went to waste for want of demand; not that the price was high, as the best long-stemmed ones sold as low as $5 for 5,000 and short-stemmed ones lower than that. The trustees of the Florists' Club are hard at work preparing for the picnic at Ramon a park. An effort will be made to close all the retail stores for that day. The wholesalers always do. The trustees wish it understood that all florists, with their families, em- ployees and those connected with the trade, are invited to attend. The Flo- rists' Club manages the affair and pays ail expenses. The date is Thursday, July 21. The sympathy of the trade was ex- tended to August Eggert, of East St. Louis, his sister, who recently came from Germany, having died last week. Sympathy was also extended to Robert Grebe, of Clayton, whose wife died iast week. Both funerals took place Sunday, June 26. James Arata and Walter Young, of C. Young & Sons Co., are off for a week's fishing trip. .\s both are great fishermen, the employees expect a fish- frv on their return. A. W. Schisler, F. S. Plant and .\dolph Corneli, the local delegation of seedsmen who attended the meeting of the American Seed Trade Association held at Atlantic City last week, have returned home much pleased and say thev had a great time. The Florists' Club will hold an im- portant meeting Thursday afternoon, July 14, at 2 o'clock. The most im- portant matters are the nomination of oificers, the final vote on the bulletin and the report for the picnic. A fea- ture will be a paper bv Luther Arm- strong on "W'hat the Club Was Or- ganized For." Mr. Armstrong was the club's first secretary twenty-three years ago. A large attendance is looked for at this meeting. J. J. B. The Review sends Scott's Florists' Manual postpaid for $5. 24 The Weekly Florists' Review^ June 30, 1910.

The last days of June have brought a falling off in business, indicative of summer quiet. There are still some special festive affairs requiring flowers, but the regular flower buyers are away and transient demand is light. There is a moderate amount of shipping, both of the finer flowers and of those used in decorative work, but the volume of business is unmistakably smaller than a week ago. An expert judge of the market esti- mates that about three times as many roses are arriving as in the end of June a year ago, due, it may be, to the cool weather that preceded last week's torrid wave. They are falling oflf rapidly now, but not so rapidly as carnations. The divine flower stands heat poorly. Only the finest stock is now fit for shipping. Valley has been in better demand than almost anything else. Experience has taught the grow- ers to reduce their output at this sea- son. Sweet peas are at their height, the stock is getting better and the prices poorer. Easter lilies are a trifle less plentiful, demand only moderate. There are some nice gladioli, notably America, and Iris Ksempferi, prized for decorative effects. Centaurea imperialis has reinforced this group, with its showy flowers of canary yellow, white and lavender. There are quite a lot of outdoor flowers in the minor key, so to speak, usable chiefly in design work; the normal condition of this group, com- posed of candytuft, feverfew, achillea and double petunias is that of moderate popularity, part selling at low prices. Greens are in fair demand; when there is business quality tells now as always. The Waretown S. and G. C. Commodore John Westcott opened the season at Waretown, on Barnegat Bay, Fridav, June 24, and following days. The Commodore's guests were George Anderson, H. B. Beatty, Oil City, Pa.; John Burton, J. William Colflesh, George Craig, Eobert Craig, James Dean, Long Island, N. Y.; D. C. Dono- hue, C. F. Eimerman, John K. M. L. Farquhar, Boston; Eobert Kift, Dr. Lane, John N. May, Summit, N. J.; David Rust, W. J. Stewart, Boston, and G. C. Watson. Twelve of the visitors went down by train, three, Messrs. G. Craig, Donohue and Watson, with Mr, Burton in his car, arriving a few min- utes after the larger party. The Com- modore extended a hearty welcome, making the visit delightful for every- one. There was a great entertainment on Saturday evening, when Mr. Beat- ty's gift was discussed and with it the subject of irrigation. Robert Craig presented the host with a cellaret on behalf of those present; Mr. Stewart made one of his happy speeches. Mr. Farquhar extended a hearty invitation to come to Boston in 1911 for the na- tional show. Mr. Westcott said that was all right, but they must first go to Rochester in August, then to Boston. The party had a fine sail down the bay, but the fish had a wireless they were coming and skipped, but that didn't matter, as it was good fun anyway. Later there was another sail up the bay to Harvey Cedars. Mr. Burton brought the Bostonians back in his car. The others came up at different times, each man staying just as long as he could, and all voting the opening a great suc- cess. Tlie Florists' Club. J. Otto Thilow, secretary of the Henry A. Dreer corporation and ener- getic chairman of the club's committee on essays, had invited the celebrated horticultural expert, W. A. Manda, of South Orange, N.

Mr. Manda 's subject will be ' ' Should We Consider Our Calling a Trade or a Profession?" The essay committee hopes that you will come and help settle this once for all. It is a difficult question; the authorities are evenly divided. Charles E. Meehan positively states that it is a trade. W. E. Mc- Kissick concurs. It is rumored that H. H. Battles feels that this is but a limited view of the situation, while David Feurstenberg, Adolph Farenwald and Phil have all come out strongly on the other side. Be sure to come and give your views. Mr. Edmunds' Bemarks. Henry E. Edmunds, president of the board of education, made some re- marks from the stage of the Academy of Music during the commencement ex- ercises that stirred quite a little breeze. Mr. Edmunds is reported to have said that he was told the florists had form- ed a flower trust in order to charge the girls excessive prices for their flow- ers, some of them having even paid, Mr. Edmunds said, $2 apiece for the Beauty roses. He concluded by assuring his hearers that this would be investigated. A reporter for the evening paper that published this statement then called at the Sign of the Rose, where he in- terviewed a representative of Charles Henry Fox; also at the office of Pen- nock Bros., where he saw a member of the firm, and at Robert Kift's. At all three places the idea of a flower trust was ridiculed. The figures, too, were contradicted, Pennock Bros, asserting that $2 apiece was a Christmas price only for the finest Beauties, while all agreed that $5 to $7.50 a dozen was the price for the best Beauties, with many selling at $1.50 to $3 a dozen. The absurdity of the report is far more apparent to the initiated than to the general public, who are, alas, too apt to believe that flowers are ex- pensive when they want them. The selection of the regal American Beauty rose by the graduating class of the high school is really responsible for the commotion. Had they chosen 1 .0 modest daisy and gathered the flowers in the fields with their own fair hands, Mr. Edmunds would have had no occasion to criticise us. It was their ambition for the best, and the sine;leness of purpose with which they and their friends carried out this ambi- tion, that made a flutter in the Ameri- can Beauty market such as we rarely see except at Christmas and in the pre- Lenten rush. A Day at Fordhook. The members of the American Seed Trade Association and their friends, returning from the Atlantic City con- vention, weru royally entertained by W. Atlee Burpee, at Fordhook, June 24. A special train of seven cars left the Reading terminal at 10:50 a. m., carry- ing the party to the siding at the foot of Mr. Burpee's place, just beyond Farm School Station. They were re- ceived by Mr. Burpee and Mr. Earl, who left nothing undone that could add to their pleasure. The day was per- fect, one of those glorious, sunshiny, breezy summer days, contrasting de- lightfully with the tropical heat of the four days preceding. The farm at Fordhook consists of 200 acres, devoted to trial grounds and to the growing of flower and vegetable seed crops. The farm is beautifully laid out. A well-made road winds through the fields, affording many pic- turesque views over hill and valley. The grounds were in excellent condi- tion, clean, well cultivated; the crops were thrifty and planted in a system- atic way that made examination and comparison easy. Something over one- half of the farm is in flower seed; a large proportion of the balance is in .tomatoes. The central point of interest to many of the visitors naturally lay in the sweet pea patch, where were growing side by side the finest varieties of the (lay and, it may be, the finest varieties of the morrow. The average standard of excellence was higher than I have ever seen before. The colors were simply superb, the flowers large and borne on heavy stems. To see a flower that was not worth careful scanning was a rarity; to see a stem that had not four flowers was also rare. There were many things of interest, including a fine field of wheat and an even finer kennel of Scotch collies, that barked their cheery welcome. The day was one of great pleasure, the visit an inspiration, showing the result of genius, work and energy. Various Notes.

Phil. NEW YOEK. The Market. The market is hardly worthy of the name. The summer heat and the ad- vancing season together have left it without life or foundation. If there be any changes in values, the ten- dency is downward. Much of the rose stock arriving is mildewed, open and unsalable. At times last week the tem- perature hugged 100 degrees in the shade. The present week opens with exces- sive humidity and nothing of impor- tance is occurring to give it extra life, except the steamer and funeral work, which seems to be the only relief to the congested market. Some of the re- tailers say the orders for steamer flow- ers from out of town are numerous. All the outgoing steamers are crowded. So- ciety has departed to the summer re- sorts and Newport is already doing a large business through the New York branches of the city's leading stores. Apart from the best Beauties and other roses, no prices can be quoted. Beauties, when selected, bring good figures, but the quantity is so small the large stores contract for them before arrival. Killamey is still abundant and is demonstrating its worth as an all-the- year-around rose to the satisfaction of the growers.

Last week was a somewhat trying one; but for the intense heat, however, business would have been quite good, owing to the numerous school and col- lege graduations and commencements, in addition to a considerable number of weddings. The heat ruined many flowers and prices slumped all around, indoor roses being particular sufferers in this respect, it being almost impos- sible to cut and keep them in the bud state. Good Carnot, Kaiserin and Kil- larney made fair prices and nice out- door hybrids were eagerly bought. Good Beauties sold well, but these were not abundant. Other roses were rather neglected. Peonies were a hard propo- sition, dropping badly even when cut partially open. The present week will see the end of these. Carnations are rapidly nearing the end and such as are now arriving are of poor quality, with few exceptions. Fair prices are being made by good flowers. Other grades sell low. Sweet peas from outdoors are in abundant supply and now selling much lower. The present weather being cooler, these are now of good quality, the Spencer varieties still being the most popular. Lilies are ample for all demands. For valley de- mand has been good during the present month. Gypsophila sells fairly well. Stocks, candytuft, gladioli and a good variety of other flowers are seen. Some water lilies, asters and Cattleya Har- ' risonisB are among bther flowers noted. Demand for a/diantum and asparagus lias dropped off considerably, and the market will probably lapse into a state of midsummer dunness for some time. Various Notes. John F. Flood, of Dedham, who re- cently bought the Mrs. David Fisher estate in Woburn, moves there to take possession this week. Mr. Flood will grow Asparagus Sprengeri, adiantums, carnations and bedding stock as spe- cialties and will be a welcome addi- tion to the ranks of Boston's trade growers. Charles ,T. Harvey, of Needham Heights, who has had a seven weeks' siege of whooping cough, is once more to be seen in his customary place in the wholesale market. Samuel Hudson, of the Harvard Bo- tanic Gardens, leaves this week to en- ter the employ of W. J. & M. S. Vesey, of Fort Wayne, Tnd., who are planning to grow orchids in the near future, in addition to their present lines. Henry W. Vose. of Hyde Park, is sending in some of the finest outdoor candytuft we have seen this season. William W. Edgar Co., of Waverly, is busy finishing the benching of chrj'- santhemums.

The Massachusetts Nurserymen's As- sociation, formed June 21, as exclus- ively announced in last week's issue of The Review, has succeeded in modi- fying the legislation of certain states against the importation of nursery stock from this state on account of the fear of introducing brown tail and gypsy moth pests. Spanish and English iris have done wonderfully well outdoors everywhere here this season. Some shown at the late club meeting by Duncan Finlay- son carried 24-inch to 30-inch stems, with blooms nearly as large as Japanese iris. The bulbs of these irises are so "cheap, and do so well from year to year, that it is a wonder more are not grown. One well known gardener uses them in grass land, with excellent re- sults. "Welch Bros, have done a fine June business and consider the season now closing to have been a most satisfactory one, P. Welch hopes to find time to at- tend the Eochester convention and say a good word for the Boston 1911 show. Mr. and Mrs. William H. Elliott held a reception at their beautiful new home at 120 Crescent avenue, Brighton, June 29, which a number of the trade at- tended. The same thoroughness is to be noted in his home as in his rose and asparagus enterprises, everything be- ing thoroughly up-to-date in every re- spect and in most excellent taste. June 28 brought a large attendance of gardeners and florists, in addition to many other friends, to Mrs. E. M. Gill's home, Ashland street, Medford, the occasion being the celebration of this estimable lady's eightieth birth- day. Mrs. Gill preserves her years re- markaoly well and we hope she may still be spared for many years. She re- ceived many remembrances, including one of $80 in gold from a number of her friends in the Massachusetts Hor- ticultural Society. She is probably the oldest active lady florist in the United Jjjtates ahd is thoroughly up-to-date, as j|er successes at the jBoston ejfbl^ltion testify.

Canterbury bells can still be sown if the seed has been overlooked. It will be better, however, if they are large enough for transplanting now. They want much the same treatment as digitalis. If sown in early spring, they get too big, producing huge plants which often decay badly in the fall. Not only are these Canterbury bells magnificent border plants, but their value in pots is not half appreciated. Grown in pots, they are vastly superior to outdoor stock, and will last a month in good condition in an ordinary dwell- ing house. The double varieties are too heavy, but the single and hose-in- hose (calycanthema) sorts are beauti- ful, especially the pure white, light pink and lavender shades. Potted up in late October, they can easily be forced for Easter, or better still grown cold and held for Memorial day, when well grown pots will sell on sight. Brief Beminders. Pick off any flowers which may ap- pear on the azaleas planted outdoors; also pinch back any strong shoots. As the hybrid perpetual roses pass out of bloom, cut off all faded flowers and seed pods and remove any Manetti or briar stocks. The hybrid tea roses enjoy plenty of water during the summer months and a mulch of old decayed manure, now applied, will soon show beneficial ef- fects. Do not forget the young plants of stevia. Keep them potted along and grow outdoors. Pot grown stock is to be preferred to such as are planted in the ground. Give the genistas a good shearing every two or three weeks to keep them thick and bushy. Poinsettia cuttings will now root freely in a coldframe if shaded and kept moderately close. Flats of sharp sand should be used and when rooted they should be at once potted. Look over the flats of freesias car- ried over. Pick out the bulbs in two sizes, the largest for flowering. The small bulblets can be sown thickly and will make fine flowering bulbs another season. Use a good pressure of water through a spray nozzle on the gardenias to keep bugs in check. Avoid keeping the soil too damp, or the plants will soon show yellow foliage. Look over the pot chrysanthemums thrice a week and pinch them. The single stems will want close attention also, and disbudding will soon call for considerable time. Select a bench at a time and do the work thoroughly. Plant out any left-over geraniums or other bedding stock not now likely to sell. Do not forget to adorn the en- trance to your own establishment, as too many do.

A largely attended meeting of the florists of the city was held recently in the store of Chatterton Warburton, on North Main street. There were about twenty-five present and it was voted to organize a society for the pro- tection of local florists engaged in the business for the purpose of making a livelihood. They claim that there are others who have been selling and tak- ing business away from them, who are not regular florists, and mentioned the park commissioners in particular. The new organization will be known as the Fall Kiver Florists' Association. The following officers were elected: President, Chatterton Warburton; vice- president, Edmund Lawton; secretary, John R. Pee; treasurer, John Cross. Meetings of the association will be hell! weekly. PEOVIDENCE. The Market. "One thing is certain. Providence is rapidly growing as a flower city. It is remarkable the difference that has come about in the last few years," said one of the oldest florists of this city a day or two ago. "I never expected to live to see such a volume of business in a single season as has been ex- perienced here this spring; it has not been confined to any single dealer, but has been general. After an unusually busy winter season, we had what was undoubtedly the busiest Ea,ster ever. Then came an equally big Decoration day trade and this last week the gradua- tions. I think I am safe in saying the graduation business waa fully double that of any other similar season in our history. ' ' And this was the report made by WILLIAM J. SMYTH FLORIST Cop.

The graduations of all the public, parochial and private schools, not only in this city but in practically all the surrounding towns, were held during the week, with the result that more than 3,000 bouquets and baskets, ranging in price from $2 to $6, with a number of fancy baskets at $6 to $15, were required to meet the demand. Funeral work continues good, which, with receptions and private functions, made the week one to round out the season to big advantage. Various Notes. Robert Hunnick has accepted a posi- tion with one of the Maxwell brothers in Connecticut. He was head gardener for more than twenty years for Fred- erick W. Vanderbilt, at Rough Point, Newport. John Cross, of J. & C. Cross, of Fall River, was in the city June 20 and re- ports the formation there, June 17, of the Fall River Florists' Association, with Chatterton W. Warburton, presi- dent; Edward Lawton, vice-president; John R. Pee, secretary, and John C. Cross, treasurer. Charles Hunt estimates his damage by the hail storm of June 18 at up- wards of $1,000. More than 600 lights of his glass were broken and much damage was done to his crops, both in the bench and in the field. Swan Peterson has been quite busy with funeral and graduation work.

This is the critical time for the peas; they are getting the other extreme from the weather that prevailed at planting. Word from the Lima bean district of California is of considerable damage to plants now in bloom by ravages of worms. Chas. McTago^rt, who started in the seed business last" winter at 123 Warren street, New York, has joined the forces of W. E. Marshall & Co., New York. After the Atlantic City convention, President J. C. Eobinson, with Mrs. Robinson and their son, went to Gran- ville, N. Y., for a visit with relatives. This week's obituary column con- tains a report of the death of William James Nutting, senior member of the firm of Nutting & Sons, the wholesale seedsmen of London, England. A. Miller, formerly with Vaughan 's Seed Store, is traveling now for the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago. W. W.

As a young man he was in the employ of Briggs Bros.j and later Hiram Sibley & Co., seedsmen, in Rochester, N.

Fiske Seed Co. and Schlegel & Fottler Co. and that it will become effective July 1. The merger is the principal topic of discussion in the trade at Boston. It is stated that Frank Murray, with Schlegel & Fottler Co., will go with E. & J. Farquhar & Co. An important consolidation of in- terests is satd to be about to take place at Boston, where probably three seed h0us.es will be merged into one large ATLANTIC CITY CONVENTION. [The first two days of the convention were fully reported in Tlie Review for June 23.] One of the Best. The general opinion of the Atlantic City convention was that it was one of the best in the whole history of the American Seed Trade Association. While the discussions were meager, the sessions were full of interest. The real work always is done by oflScera and com- mittees, and not in convention, and this meeting served, perhaps more than any other, to show how heavy and effective has been the work performed by the association's representatives in the in- terest of the whole seed trade. There has been a steady growth in accom- plishment, especially in the last few years. As President-elect Page said on assuming the chair: "I am impressed, and I think you are, that for the last few years in particular this association has been growing, not so much in num- bers'US in its work, in its quality, and in its achievements^ -I believe that it stands for Jnofe today than it ever did before, and I see no reaBon why in the years to come it cannot stand for yet more and more."

At the closing session the subject of seed legislation again came up through the presentation of reports by Charles N. Page, of the committee on confer- ence with the National Association of Seed Analysts, and of the committee on state seed laws. In the discussion Sec- retary Kendel said that his experience has shown that legislators are desirous of being informed on seed matters be- fore enacting laws bearing on the sub- ject, and he had received the thanks of the legislative committee in the Ohio general assembly for showing them a copy of the proposed bill and giving other information that was wanted. He was inclined to think that if the seeds- men will marshal their forces and go before the legislative committees and enlighten them as to what is needed, they will give a respectful hearing to the seedsmen. He had found them willing to listen in the Ohio legislature, and to do whatever they reasonably could. All that is necessary is to show them that we are straight and honest in our deman^is or requests, and that it is our desire to have such legislation as is enacted such that it can be cheerfully and fully complied with by business men. Mr. Bolgiano stated that a bill had 40 The Weekly Florists' Review* June 30, 1910. b^^ introduced in the Maryland legis- lature which would have worked a hardship, inasmuch as it required a guar- arifee, and when the seedsmen appeared before the legislative committee they found that they were, as was naturally to be expected, quite unfamiliar with conditions in the seed trade and the practical handling of seeds, and the re- sult was that the bill passed was a most unsatisfactory one, but after ex- plaining the matter fully to the gov- ernor he remedied matters by vetoing the bill. But it took a great deal of hard work on the part of the seedsmen to make the matter plain. Mr. Hastings thought that while it was not wise to go around hunting for trouble in the way of legislation, yet as it is quite certain that the tendency of the times is to enact seed laws, it should be the part of the seedsmen who are the best informed on the conditions of supply and the practical methods of handling seed commercially to see that proper bills are drafted, and when sat- isfied that a proposed bill is a good one thev should give their hearty support to it. At the request of Mr. May, the bill introduced in the House of Eepresenta- tives by Mr. Mann, by request, Feb- ruarv 8, 1910, and numbered H. E. 20,373, entitled "A Bill to Prohibit the Importation into the United States of Adulterated Seed and Seed Unfit for Planting," was read by Secretary Ken- del, and on motion of Mr. May, the convention voted that the American Seed Trade Association endorse said bill. To Carry on the Work. C. H. Breck. for the committee on president's address, presented the fol- lowing report: "We commend most heartily the excel- lence of the president 's address and its completeness of detail, and we recom- mend especially for your consideration and action the following items, viz.: First: That the committee to confer with the National Seed Analysts be continued, and we suggest that this committee be instructed while repre- senting this association to act as har- moniously as may be possible with the seed analysts, in order that the best interests of seed growers, seed dealers and the public be conserved. We also suggest that this committee confer on important matters with similar commit- tees or the officers of the Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers' Association, in order that all seedsmen may be repre- sented and the committee have the benefit of the wisdom and experience of the whole trade. And we further recommend that the treasurer be au- thorized to reimburse the several mem- bers of this committee for necessary expenses incurred by them in connec- tion with their duties in meeting or otherwise treating with the seed an- alysts. Second: That the same attorney be retained as counsel of the association for another year, until July 1, 1911, as was employed by it last year. Third: That the president appoint ^ his diatretion a member of this as- sociation in each state and the District of Columbia or in feneighboningf ptate when we have no member in a state, who shall yk called state correspondent, with whom our counsel may correspond and whose duties shall be to confer with other seedsmen of the state or Direct purchkse from French grrower, without passlnsr throusrh the hands of a dealer.

He shall report to our counsel all legislative or legal mat- ters of interest to seedsmen occurring in his district.

Fourth: In regard to the recom- mendations of the president concerning the division of the expenses and per diem of counsel incurred in connection with a call of a state correspondent to his district, we have to say that virhile we approve of the principle involved we do not at this time recommend action by the association further than that the president be authorized to order payment by the treasurer of one-half of such expenses when in his judgment the matter involved was of sufficient in- terest to seedsmen in general to war- rant such expenditure. Fifth: That the president be au- thorized to order payment by the treas- urer of the necessary expenses of any committee incurred while on the bosi- ness of the associatiott, and not other- ! wise provided for, and for expenses and services of counsel' in attendance on any committee or at the request of the president.

Clark and others responded with the latest news of seed crops in their respective parts of the country. This feature of the proceedings was so well liked that it was decided to make more of it at future conventions. Leonard Vaughan presented the re- port of the committee on postal laws, referring especially to the matter of transparent packets for seeds that must be sealed. To the mail-order seedsmen this is exceedingly important and there was a lively discussion, participated in by Messi-s. Burpee. Allen, Maule, Ford, Robinson, Page, Bolgiano and others, but no way out was offered except to comply exactly with the regulations, even if at considerable expense. Presentation. At the close of the convention every- body gathered in the hotel parlors to witness the presentation of a silver table service, suitably inscribed, to President Robinson. F. C.

At a meeting of the directors of the Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers' Asso- ciation held at Atlantic City June 23 the following officers were elected: President — Albert McCullough, of J. M. McCullough 's Sons Co., Cincinnati. Vice-president — Charles Boyles, of Albert Dickinson Co., Chicago. Secretary-treasurer — J. G. Peppard, Kansas City. The Visit to Fordhook. Nearly 250 persons were in the party that visited Fordhook June 24 as the guests of W. Atlee Burpee & Co. Most oif those who had been at the Atlantic City convention went over, but there were in addition a number of seedsmen from New York and other places and a considerable sprinkling of other guests, including many representatives of the agricultural press. The party went to Fordhook by special train from Phila- delphia, provided by Burpee & Co. Any- one who knows the Burpee method of doing things knows the brand of hos- pitality that marked the day. On ar- rival at Fordhook the first thing was a reception on the lawn, where, among those who assisted Mr. and Mrs. Bur- pee, were Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Scott. In the trial grounds a large part of the Burpee staff were at hand to explain the details. The grounds occupy some fourteen acres and this year contain some 6,000 trials, of which over 400 are sweet peas. It was stated that if placed end to end the sweet peas would make a row over three miles in length. Harry A. Bunyard, secretary of the Sweet Pea Society, was one of those who found this part of the grounds specially in- teresting, but aside from the trials, probably the most extensive in Amer- ica, there was much else of interest to see, includipg the kennels, and thfi aft- ernoon -vfws far too short. Tbe Udiee were taken about the farm in wagons. With appeTites sharpened by the- tour, Inncheon, informal but bountiful, was served on the lawn, after which a return to the trial grounds was made to see Seed PANSY Seed xSSyS hbfijfiv ^^t '^^flUmttM ■Pljjll ^g^iitft^^^KL ' ^'^^^Hy i^^c^^^^^^^St^K ' ^Ki \ ^^Bk I^Hkw ^Pj HP^ ;,-^-. •---^' ^v Brown's improved Giant Prize Pansies, the finest strain of pansies in the market, surpassing all other strains ; as to variety of colors and size they are unsurpassable, many measuring 3>^ inches in diameter.

As the hour of departure for the spe- cial train drew near, the guests gathered at the farmhouse, where in a neat speech J. C. Eobinson expressed to Mr. and Mrs. Burpee the unanimous appre- ciation of the hospitalities of a most pleasant day. Mr. Burpee's reply was an invitation to come again. VALLEY PIPS. Writing from Wandsbek, Germany, in mid-June, E. Neubert had this to say of the prospects for the crop of lily of the valley pips in the Ham- burg district: "Last season's crop of valley pips was much below the average with re- gard to the quantity of pips. In some districts the crop was so very short that only one-third of the expected quantity of forcing pips could be har-, vested. This was a serious blow, not only to growers and dealers in this PANSY SEED -^^^ oz.

"The Rocky Ford district of the Arkansas valley of Colorado is fast becoming the most important vine seed producing center in the United States," says H. D. Garwood, who is now associated with the Ebbert Seed Co. as secretary and treasurer. "Rocky Ford long has been famous for the production of cantaloupes and cantaloupe seed, and is rapidly becom- ing famous for the production of all other vine seed crops, particularly for cucumber seed. The soil seems natur- ally adapted to the growth of these crops and, with irrigation to supply the water to the growing crops as needed, continuous sunshine and ideal harvest- ing weather, this district produces vine seeds of superior quality. "That the trade realizes and appre- ciates the superiority of the vine seeds produced in this district is shown by the new orders coming in this season, and by the greatly increased orders of those who have been obtaining their supply from this district in the past; also by firms that have been growing vine seeds where they have had to de- pend on rainfall having placed con- tracts for every acre they could have grown here this season. As a conse- quence there are several thousands of acres planted to vine seeds this season, and the business is yet in its infancy. I predict that within a very few years the Arkansas valley of Colorado will be the greatest vine seed producing section in the entire country," DISAPPOINTED. W. Bay, florist at Titusville, Pa., sends one of the well-known govern- ment seed packets, purporting to have contained White Flat Strap-leaved tur- nip, and makes the following comment: "It may interest you to learn the result I got from the congressional seeds. From the inclosed seed envel- ope I got in twenty-one days from planting a good crop of Rawson's Crim- son Giant radish. The radish was good, but when you plant turnips it is some- what a disappointment to get rad- ishes." SUCH IS FAME! It is with interest that we read in a Los Angeles paper for June 9 that: "M. Atler Burpee, one of the largest wholesale seed merchants in the United States, is a guest at the Van Nuys, registering from Philadelphia." CATALOGXTES RECEIVED.

Vegetable Forcing. POLLENIZING CUCUMBEES. I have been reading in The Review of June 16, page 46, the article under the head of "Cucumbers Do Not Ma- ture," in which Z. & G. tell about the failure of their cucumber crop and are advised by The Review to keep a swarm of bees in the cucumber house. Now, I have had the same trouble as Z. & G., and evidently for the same reason, the lack of bees to pollenize the cucumbers. I have about three-quarters of an acre in cukes, on land which I want to plant with carnations later, and I can not get a single cuke off the whole plat. So I have lately resorted to artificial pollenization, but what will that amount to, on so large a plat? Practically nothing. I am about five miles from the center of San Antonio, Tex., and have not seen half a dozen bees, and not one bumblebee yet. I think, however, that hereafter I will not have the ventilators in the house protected with netting, to keep the bees off the flowers in pots, for several reasons. One of my neighbors has just plowed about one and one-half acres of cukes under, for the reason that he Vegetable Plants CabbACe. All Head, Succession, Second Early, Early Summer. Flat Dutch.

Applied as a light top dressing to lawns it kills flat-leaved weeds, such as Dande» Hon, Daisy, Plantain, Sorrel, Chickweed, Moss, etc., in 48 hours, and without other fertilizer produces a wonderful, luxuriant, rich, green growth of lawn grasses, which is distinctly noticeable 50 feet away. The use of Ammoniated Lawn Lime supersedes hand weeding of lawns, putting greens, etc. It savBs the grass from being pulled up and in many cases ruined. Grasses take a new, vigorous growth, avoiding probable trouble in future. Quantities: « If very weedy, 1 lb. to 40 square feet; 25 lbs. to 1000 square feet (20x50).

Last week opened with plenty of good stock, but closed with a noticeable scarcity of roses, excepting red. The quality of carnations has been keeping up fairly well for June. Our cool nights and mornings are a help to the carnations. Good snapdragons, Bride gladioli, candidum lilies, fox- gloves and sweet peas are seen daily. Valley is scarce. ^ ■ Palms are traveling around these days, on wedding and commercial busi- ness. Store and hotel openings were the order last week. Various Notes. Hoyt 's gloxinias are still the attrac- tion in lower Riverside. One basket of violet gloxinias and Bride gladioli, and one of the gladioli and garden heliotrope with Boston ferns, were fea- tures of a hotel opening. This firm has a fine lot of pansies for summer cut flowers. W. S. Hoyt is a pansy fan- cier. In connection with Mr. Burt, the landscape gardener, Hoyt Bros, have been clearing out the remainder of their bedding stock. Asters were scarce before the demand stopped. High school graduates appeared this year in white shirt waists and were allowed to carry only one red rose. Beauties and Richmonds were the only ones used. The Spokane Florist Co. had a pretty church wedding. A post was erected at the end of every fifth pew. A clus- ter of carnations crowned each one and garlands of green were draped to pil- lars at the side aisles. The chancel rail was decorated by a series of plaques 01 white foxglove, candytuft and daisies, connected by draperies of As- paragus plumosus. The altar was banked with candidum lilies. The re- ception room was decorated in Lady Gay ramblers. The annual local rose fair was judged this year by S. Younkin, Miss Minnie Schaflfer and Dr. H. L. Moorehouse. The first prize was for the best single specimen rose and Frau Carl Druschki won; Jacqueminot won second prize. For the best collection of white roses, "Frau Carl Druschki won again; Cha- tenay for pink and Jacqueminot for red. The largest collection from one garden was shown from the Coeur d'Alene park beds. The first prize on the best arrangement was awarded to a table decoration which represented a span of the new Monroe street bridge. The span was of Jacqueminot roses, with a roadway and car tracks. The water was represented by a mirror un- der the span. An arch of roses over the table added to the appearance of the room. The rose fair has been rele- gated entirely to amateur growers. Fred Winters and Eugene Szuchie- wicz, of the Spokane Florist Co., were visitors at the Portland rose fair. They rare enthusiastic ov^ some of the deco- ^•ations, the rose sjjijck and , the auto decorations which were shown in the day parade — one in wistaria with wired chififon to match; another all in blue cornflowers, and a third in yellow, coreopsis, gaillardias and bronze maple CALLAS Free from disease, care- fully selected sand grown bulbs. : : : : We have the best lot of Callaa grown in California this year. -WRITE FOR PRICKS MacRorie- McLaren Company 721 Crocker Bide., SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.. and SAN MATEO, CAL.

Maloy, of Ellvvanger & Barry, was a visitor at Chicago June 27, on his way home to Kochester after a trip to the Pacific coast after the Denver con- vention. Jac Smits, who has been in trouble with the customs authorities at New York, has been freed from the charge of presenting false consular invoices for importations of nursery stock. C. F. Gee, eldest son of John R. Gee. a nurseryman of Bloomington, 111., was drowned June 10 in Lake Washington, at Seattle, Wash., while boating. He had been employed by a grocery firm in Seattle since the beginning of last March. B. E. Fields & Son, who were estab- lished at Fremont, Neb., in 1868, say the season of 1910 was one of the most pe- culiar in their experience. Everything in their section of the country is extremely late, but the spring season was fair, though not as good as usual. The pres- ent season is opening up well. The business of the Pioneer Nursery, Monrovia, Cal., has been sold by R. H. Wilson to a company styled the Pioneer Nursery Co., of which A. Foster is presi- dent and Geo. H. Jackson manager. Mr. Jackson has been connected with the es- tablishment for eight years, and during the last five years he has had charge of the ornamental and sales department. Mr. Wilson retires from active partici- pation in the business, to devote his en- tire attention to the growing of decidu- ous fruit trees, which will be handled ex- clusively by the Pioneer Nursery Co. The nursery was founded by him in 1876. RETAILERS' ASSOCIATION.

Y.. road at the thlrty-flfth annual conTention of the American Association of Nurserymen, at Denver, June 8 to 10, 1910.] The question of varieties is one that can b^ "Siscussed from several^ points of viewtjL ' The peiaf- that I tyiah — fctr bring to your attenJ;ion is the number of varieties that are listed by the dif- ferent firms who issue catalogues. It seems to me that we are all inclined to catalogue altogether too many varieties of almost every class of stock.

You can take a dozen different catalogues, count up the number of varieties catalogued and you will find all the way from sixty to 200. It seems to me that even sixty is altogether too many. How much better it would be for all of us if we could confine ourselves to, say, thirty or forty of the best sorts and eliminate all of the balance! It would make it a great deal easier for every- one connected with the business. It would reduce the chances for errors in both budding and grafting, as well as the errors that occur in filling the orders. The Needs of Different Localities. I appreciate the fact that it would be impossible to make a uniform list of apples of thirty or forty varieties that would fit every section of the country. I a^n .also aware of the fact that, our western br^l;hren grovy and sell in large quantities, a number of varieties that are seldom sold in th«.ea8t, while we in the east grow and sell a number that are never sold in the west.

Mention The Review when you write. to reduce the number of varieties which we publish in our catalogues, as we can confine ourselves to the leading varie- ties sold for commercial purposes in the sections of our country where we do business. I am of the opinion that this would be a step in the right direction and I hope you will consider the matter when com- piling your next catalogue. In com- piling our latest catalogue I kept this idea in mind and reduced the number of apples from seventy-eight to seventy varieties. I also realize that we could have cut it considerably more without injuring the value of the catalogue in any way and it is my intention, in our next issue, to cut it even further. The same thing holds good with pears, cherries, plums, and especially peaches. On referring to a stock catalogue, I find 124 varieties of apples. We all know that it is almost impossible to get together every season such a large number of different varieties of apples, especially where a whole season 's orders mean about twenty-five to fifty varie- ties that are sold only from one up to a dozen of these odd kinds. Choice Lists Versus Long Lists. I think the time has come when the people want quality, not only in the stock itself, but in the varieties that are offered for sale by the nurserymen, and there is no question in my mind but that there are large numbers of varieties that have little if any merit, that are sold every year simply oecause some firm catalogues them in order to have a catalogue that might lead the customer to believe that the nursery is an exceptionally large one, on account of the long list of varieties of different classes of stock. Take the grand total of trees that are sold for commercial purfMJses, and I think you will find that seventy-five per cent of the trees used will be confined to from fifteen to twenty varieties. I am speaking now of apples.

I am sure we would be doing an endless amount of good, not only for ourselves but for future generations, if we would strive to eliminate from our catalogues, and cease growing, all varieties which do not have a commerical or some dis- tinctive value. Lessons From the Sales Book. I find, on referring to our spring stock book, that we sold llGvarieties of apples, not because we catalogued that many, but because our customers, from one source or another, had heard of the varieties asked for and insisted on hav- ing them. We can educate our salesmen to confine their sales almost exclusively to the varieties catalogued by us and, if we will all make an effort to reduce the number of varieties that we publish in our catalogues, the growing and hand- ling of fruit trees in the future will be considerably easier than it is at th6 SPECIAL JULY PRICE White Helen Frick The best and only late White Mum, fine stock from 2 54 -in. pots, $0.00 iier 100; $50.00 per 1000; 250 at 1000 rate.

I have prepared a table showing just how the 116 varieties of apples sold by us were proportioned in the total sale of apples. I find that the seven leail- 3-incli, e>4-ineh, SX-ineh. 54 The Weekly Florists' Review* June 30, 1910. ing varieties, which, by the way, were Baldwin, King, Northern Spy, North- western Greening, Stayman's Winesap, Wealthy and Yellow Transparent, rep- resented forty-four per cent of the total number of apples sold by us. This represented six per cent of the varieties. The next eleven leading varieties rep- resented twenty-seven per cent of the total apples sold and nine and one- half per cent of the varieties. The next thirty-three varieties, represent- ing those that amounted to from 100 to 500 trees each, were twenty- four per cent of the stock and twenty-eight per cent of the number of varieties. The next lot, fifty to 100, represented four per cent of the stock and sixteen per cent of the varieties. The next figures taken were twenty- five to fifty of a kind and there were seventeen kinds, representing two per cent of the stock and fifteen per cent of the varieties. I find twenty-nine varieties of from one tree to twenty- five each, representing seven-tenths of one per cent of the number of trees sold and twenty-five per cent of the varieties. A Benefit to Buyer and Seller. I believe, from the above table, that we can easily get along with from forty to fifty varieties of apples, as you will observe that fifty varieties out of the total of 116 varieties sold represent ninety-five per cent of the stock sold, while the other sixty-six varieties repre- sent only five per cent. I think, if you will take the trouble to figure over your own stock book, that you will find the same condition exists with you as does with us and I am sure you will find that it will be greatly to your advan- tage to eliminate those varieties that are sold in such small quantities. It stands to reason, that if the fruit grower who is growing stock for a profit deter- mines upon certain leading varieties, those varieties are certainly the best and good enough for any person to plant for home consumption. I hope you will give this matter seri- ous consideration and see if you do not agree with me that we will be benefited if we all strive to reduce rather than increase the number of varieties cata- logued by us.

The Market. This has been a strenuous week for Indianapolis florists, as there were quite a number of prominent funerals that called for the best the market could give. Everything in the flower line was used. One of the prominent funer- als was that of Mr. Test, the president of the National Automobile Co. A. Wiegand & Sons had this company's work, which was the largest seen in this city for some weeks. .Shasta daisies and gladioli are be- ginning to come in now and meet with ready sale. Killarney roses, Beauties, valley and orchids have been in demand for .tune weddings and for gifts for a number of prominent people .who are going abroad this summer. Our dry spell was broken by a rain that lasted all day Monday. It came none too soon, as the grass and flowers were beginning to feel the effects of the hot weather that we have had for the last three weeks. Various Notes. The Pahud Floral Co. is going to build two new greenhouses this sum- mer. Charles Pahud reports that the newly purchased motorcycle is a suc- cess. The committee in charge of the flower show met last week and formulated a premium list amounting to about $2,000. The list can be secured from A. F. J. Baur. Eobert Elder, foreman for Berter- mann Bros., at Cumberland, is the proud father of twins. S. S. Skidelsky spent a few days in the city this week. Mr. Skidelsky has just returned from his first trip to Colo- rado, which has been quite successful. A. F. J. Baur is going to spend July 4 in Eichmond, with relatives. Fred Dorner and J. S. Stuart were in the city last week attending the flower show committee meeting. Alfred Brandt has purchased a Max- well runabout. Mr. Brandt is having a removable delivery body constructed and intends to use the machine both for pleasure and business. H. L. W.

In fact, several dealers were rushed on Wednesday and Thursday with that class of work. The extremely hot weather since June 14 has helped to reduce the quantity of good stock with most of the growers, so that by Friday it was not any too plentiful, while there was :i raft of so-called junk which was at the mercy of the buyers. From present indications, even this class of stock will disappear in the near fu- ture, for replanting of roses is well un- der way, with carnations to follow in a fortnight. This hot wave also brought the local peonies into bloom in a bunch, as it were, and, after the unfavorable April weather, the lasting qualities were nothing to brag about. The demand for valley was brisk and there was plenty to go around. Snapdragons did not sell as readily as they should have. Beauties, which are being grown for the summer trade, found ready sale. Green goods are be- coming more plentiful from day to day. Now that the schools are closed for the summer vacation, it will not be long before folks will go to their coun- try homes, which means that the florists will also get a chance to have a few spare moments for recuperation. Various Notes. Will Kuhl, shipping clerk for the Holton & Hunkel Co., left on Monday for a week's vacation. At that firm's greenhouses, on Humboldt avenue, they were extremely busy last week potting a carload of imported palms, araucarias, aspidistras and assorted ferns. Roy Currie, of Currie Bros., is the possessor of a new yacht, on which he intends to spend the Saturday after- noons and Sundays on Pine lake during the dull season. The Wisconsin Floral Co., on Grand avenue, reports a decided increase of sales for last week over that of last year. As they cater mainly to tran- sient trade, this is a good sign of pros- perity. The C. C. Pollworth Co. says it is surprising the way business has kept up. "Away ahead of expectations," is the way they put it. The Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. had an unusually active week, chiefly in funer- al work and work for commencement exercises. Visitors: Harry Balsley, Detroit, Mich., and Mrs. J. T. Hinchiiffe, Racine, Wis.

We intend growing some winter- flowering stocks to cut from about the first part of November and later. We intend planting them on a south bench three feet wide. The height from top of bench to plate being four feet of glass, the bench is slightly shaded by the next house. Would this be a suit- able position for stocks? We would like some information as to varieties and culture. Could stevias be grown on the same bench? The temperature in winter in this house is about 50 to 55 degrees. J, S. & S. The house should answer quite well for the stocks, but of course freedom from shade would have been better. The height to the plate allows ample headroom. Suitable indoor varieties to grow are: Beauty of Nice, delicate flesh pink, a lovely and popular sort; White Column, Crimson Column — these do not branch and can be planted close; they carry one strong spike of double flow- ers; Boston Florists' White, a fine va- riety; Empress Augusta Victoria, sil- very lilac; Eose of Nice, carmine rose. Sow the seed for the earliest batch about August 1. Pot them off singly, as they do not transplant so well from flats. Any good soil which will grow mums, violets or carnations will grow stocks. Allow the plants 12x10 inches apart, except the Column varieties, which can go 10x8. Pull out the singles as they appear. A temperature of 46 to 50 degrees is ample for stocks; 55 degrees at night is too warm. They will not stand coddling and must have plenty of sun and pure air. Stevia could be grown on the same bench with the stocks. A colder house, 40 to 45 degrees at night, would, how- ever, prolong its season. For a Christ- mas crop, however, the other tempera- ture would be all right. C. W, Delay an. Wis. — D. S. Nelson has completed a model greenhouse for D. E.

I am planning to build a greenhouse, 20x62 feet, and ten feet to the ridge, with 4-foot walls of concrete. I should like to know whether five 2-inch pipes would heat it in zero weather, for bed- ding plants. The house will run north and south. I am located in the southern part of New York state. H. F. B. The class of bedding plants to be grown is not stated, but it is probable that a temperature of 50 degrees or more is desired. To maintain that tem- perature in zero weather will require at least 400 square feet of radiating sur- face, or six and one-half feet for each foot in length of the house. This would require at least ten 2-inch pipes, of which three or four could be flows and the others returns. A better way would be to use two or three 2 1^ -inch flow pipes and eight or seven 2-inch returns. DAVIS INVENTS A VALVE. Aurora Grower Meets His Need. At the greenhouses of W. B. Davis & Co., Aurora, 111., there are in use over 100 valves of a style invented by Mr. Davis, made from his patterns and for which he has just been granted a patent by the United States govern- ment. It is both a globe and a check valve in one. A large majority of the improve- ments in greenhouse construction and equipment have come about through the efifort of some greenhouse owner to find or make an article to fill a need. Many a man in the business has be- come the master of several crafts through the part they play in the busi- ness of plant growing, and such is the case with Mr. Davis, whose firm has 100,000 feet of glass at Aurora. He is an expert steamfitter, and has worked out for himself a number of problems that could be solved only by one fa- miliar with both ends of the business. His valve is shown in the accompanying drawing. Mr. Davis describes it as follows: TUBULAR BOILERS STEAM AND WATKR The moat eoonomloal and etflolent Boiler for Greenhouse Heatins.

Treats on over 200 subjects concerning greenhouse build- ing, heating, management, and plant culture. It tells you just what you want to know, in just the way you want to be told. Second Edition, Price $6.00, Prepaid by Express or MaiL FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO. 334 Dearborn Street CHICAGO Description of the Valve. "The valve is intended for use in steam heating pipes, to take the place of two valves, a check and a globe or a gate valve, where two such valves are now generally used together; also, wherever a check valve is used alone, such as on pipes carrying condensation from steam pipes to the return pipe, and on return pipes, or city water pipes, or pipes from traps or pumps where they lead into the boilers. In these instances and many others both a check valve and a globe valve are commonly and properly used. "For those who are not fully posted, I will explain why both a check and a globe valve are now deemed necessary. The most important is the check valve, to keep the water from other radiators or pipes from backing up into a set which is not in use, and at the boilers on the feed pipes, to prevent water from the boilers backing up into the return pipes or into city water pipes. The globe valves are usually placed close to the check valve and between it and the return pipe or the boiler, so that in case the check valve gets out of order the globe valve can be closed and the check valve repaired, pressure being cut off from the inlet by the regular globe valve used to turn on and ofif that set of pipes. ' ' In repairing any broken pipes, or taking apart any of the pipes, a check valve is never to be depended upon, be- cause of the possibility of the check valve not being in perfect working order and not closed tight. In such cases the unfortunate steamfitter is liable to get a bad scalding from the steam and water forced backward through the inoperative check valve, also permitting the water to drain out of the boilers suddenly, with danger of injury to the boilers.' The risk is so ^Bumham I This type boiler is made for shallow cellars— the side hub outlets making the boiler and connections considerably lower than with the tapped connections on top. Lord & Burnham Co. IRVINGTON, N. Y. New York Boston Philadelphia Chicago Mention The Keview when you write. great that a practical steamfitter will always put a globe valve between the check valve and the boilers. "There is no kind of valve which gets out of order quicker than the regu- lar check valves. This first nuisance, together with the extra labor and ex- pense for putting in two valves where oftentimes there is barely room enough for one, set me to studying out some- thing better and the result is my in- vention of a combination check and globe valve, two in one. "This valve at first glance resembles the ordinary globe valve, but by refer- ring to the drawing it can be seen that the disk or plunger is entirely free from 68 The Weekly Florists^ Reyiew. JUNB 30, 1910. the stem, so that when the stem is screwed upward, or open, the disk still remains on the seat of the valve, but is free to work up and down, just as an ordinary horizontal check valve, permit- ting steam or water to flow one way, but preventing it from flowing back- wards. When the valve is left open, as it is ordinarily, it is simply a check valve, but when desired to close the valve, to prevent all passage through it either way, the stem is screwed down by turning the wheel handle, just as in closing an ordinary globe valve. When Valve Invented by W. B. Davis. so closed the valve is then a globe valve, preventing a flow either way. "When the stem is screwed down it strikes the disk and forces it to close down and holds it there, perfectly tight, at the same time causing it to turn with the stem, thus grinding out any dirt or scale which may have collected on the seat and making an absolutely tight shut-oflf. The turning of the disk is ac- complished by having a stub projecting horizontally out from the side of the stem near the lower end. This projec- tion strikes one of the guide points pro- jecting upward from the disk and plunger and causes it to revolve when- ever the stem is turned up or down. This same movement also prevents the disk from sticking shut, as the disk must turn and become loose when the stem is raised or opened up. "The advantages this valve has over the regular old styles and methods are many. It will be cheaper, saving one valve and a nipple, also labor in each connection where it is used. It takes up less space in connecting, and heating pipes can be run a little nearer to the return pipe. It can be installed in some places where both a check and a globe valve cannot, for lack of space.

The New Bedford Horticultural So- ciety held its rose show at Odd Fellows hall June 23 and scored a fine success. Occupying the center of the hall was an oval of ferns, palms and shrubs. Ranged around it were six green tubs, holding wonderful rambler roses, ex- hibited by M. H. Walsh, of Woods Hole. Besides running his own garden of roses, Mr. Walsh superintends the wonderful gardens of Miss Sarah B. Fay, whose collection is the largest private collection of roses in the coun- try, and who also was a large exhibitor, as was H. H. Rogers estate. There was a large showing of bottles of cut roses. The show was free to the public, and was largely attended, both afternoon and evening. In the evening the cut flowers were sold at auction.

Florist Peter Crowe, Rose Place, Utic«, N. Y., voluntarily writes:— " I am very much pleased to let you know that the Damper Regulator I bought from you last fall is by far the best apparatus for greenhouse purposes. I had my book-keeper compare my coal bill of last with that of this year and I find a saving of one quarter the amount of this year's coal over last year's; also the past winter was a great deal colder and longer than the winter before. ■■ There is another very good feature about the Damper Regulator, as it keeps a uniform heat in all the houses at all times by putting on and shutting off pipes. And I find that my Roses and Ferns did far better this winter than any winter so far, as the temperature was so uniform at all times. " My reason for writing you is to let you know, and also to thank you for bringing my attention to the Regulator, and I assure you I cannot speak too highly of this machine."

The career of the Dingee & Conard Co. is a good illustration of what has been done by many florists in pioneer work — the work of beginning business in sparsely settled districts, growing up with the community and repaying the patronage received from the com- munity by contributing liberally to the community's prosperity. The business world has been slow to give florists the credit which is due them for what they have accomplished in this line. It has been difficult to realize how such a frail, flimsy and perishable product as flowers could give such substantial aid to the world of industry. When Charles Dingee came to West Grove he found but one house. A frog pond covered a large part of what is now a thriving borough. Its facili- ties were weekly mails and railroad connections at Port Deposit. The first partners in the enterprise were Isaac Jackson, J. B. Gray and Charles Din- gee. The first location was nearly op- posite the residence of Mr. Dingee. Mr. Dingee soon afterward formed the firm of Dingee, Conard & Co., with Alfred Conard and Mark Hughes. The sending of growing plants by mail or express was not at that time thought of. After many experiments, many failures and endless study, the firm succeeded. Cigar boxes were used for packing the living plants. Agents were sent scouring the country for the empty boxes, which were used for this pur- pose until a few years ago, when the present neat packages were devised. There are now none of the above- mentioned men associated with Mr. Dingee. Alfred P. Reid, president of the First National Bank of West Ches- ter, is now the president. M. Henry Lynch is vice-president and is in ac- tive charge of the business. P. J. Lynch is treasurer and James D. Head- ley is cashier. Charles Dingee, at the age of 85, watches the growth of the business in the hands of others, and his interest is unabated, although he is no longer active in the work. He is still hale and hearty. The business was founded in 1850. The company now has a large plant also in New Castle, Ind., and one at Charlotte, N. C. Tewksbury, Mass. — Larkin T. T.

Last week was a record breaker for high temperature for June. At times the mercury stood as high as 96 degrees and it was not below 90 degrees during the entire week. The heavy rains we had a week ago started everything growing most vigorously and nothing more so than weeds. Carnations are flhort and generally poor, and roses are ■a glut and thousands are thrown on the •dump. There have been numerous June weddings, but few big ones. Com- mencements have held the stage and will continue to do so for several days, and the consequent call for bunches of all kinds of flowers has been large. Some extra fine gladioli are to be seen and find a ready sale, while sweet peas are flooding the market. The sub- urbs of the city are now most beautiful with their bedecked arbors and porches.

The ground, which is a low corner, will be graded up two .to two and a half feet. The walls of ithe new houses will be of concrete blocks on a solid concrete foundation, up to a height of four feet, the remain- ing three feet of wall being of glass. The houses will , be of the uniform width of twenty-seven feet, and will stand sixteen feet above the ground at the ridge. ' . When these houses are finished, the Gullett firm will have a plant of which more than two-thirds has been rebuilt within six years.

The first annual June show of the Yonkers Horticultural Society was held on Friday afternoon and evening, June 17, in the hall of Hollywood Inn. The exhibits consisted of potted plants, cut flowers, fruit and vegetables. All were attractively arranged and the many varieties of flowers formed a symphony of color. Eoses, orchids, sweet peas, peonies, flowering and foliage plants and herbaceous flowers were included in the display. Straw- berries— the big, red, delicious, short- (taky-looking kind — composed the fruit exhibit, while the vegetables were many and fine. That the show was a success there can be no doubt, judging from the way the many visitors praised the various exhibits, and the society has great hopes of making even a greater success of the fall show, which is to be held iu the first part of November. During the evening the excellent music of Butler's orchestra added much to the enjoyment of the visitors. The judging was done by Eobert Angus, of Tarrytown; James Stewart and Thomas Aitchison, of Mamaroneck. The principal exhibitors and prize winners were: H. Scott, gardener on the Lilienthal estate; J. Goff, irardener on the Oppenheimer estate; E. Cum- mings, gardener on the Cochrane estate; John Woodcock, gardener for E. A. Mc- Alpin, of Ossining; J. Canning, gar- dener for Adolph Lewisohn, of Ards- ley; H. Wells, gardener for Mrs, T. W. Wheeler; H. Nichols, gardener for Mrs. J. B. Trevor; E. Cochrane, gardener for Mrs. A. C, Ewing; J. Butler, E.

The little eleven-foot connecting houses give additional compartments that are very useful for growing small lots, or for experimental work. That center house is one big compartment for roses. The Superintendent has some choice or- chids in tiie right-liand house just back of tiie grapery. The construction is iron frame throughout; the kind that has stood over two scon; ytvirs of tt'st.

Mention The Review when you write How to Save Money =No. 2 BUY your Greenhouse Material from a responsible concern. You don't need to pay for the reputation when you do so, for most people nowadays are honest, and charge for only what they give. You will save money in the end. Here's a little story that illustrates our point: "Two men bought wind-mills from two diflFer- ent firms and both wind-mills when set up failed to work. Both men wrote the people they bought from. One firm sent out a man and fixed the mill and everything was lovely. The other firm wrote a letter and said the mill wasn't set up right and that it was up to the man himself to make it work. It cost the man $50.00 to fix it." We think nothing more need bt^ said. "If you don't know Moninger you ought to." Send for Our Catalogues. JOHN C.

Old-time gardeners remember well how popular the Safrano rose was in their day. With such good sorts as Bon Silene, Niphetos and Mme. Falcot, it was grown in large quantities. To American growers some of these are now mere memories, but all are still to be found, some as popular market sorts in Europe. Safrano was sent out by Beau- regard as long ago as 1839. That popu- lar outdoor bedder, Hermosa, came the following year; Louis Philippe and Cloth of Gold in 1843; the next year that grand old variety, Niphetos; For- tune's Yellow in 1845; Mme. Bravy in 1848, and five years later those two wonderfully popular varieties, Gloire de Dijon and General Jacqueminot. Mme. Falcot followed in 1858; Mare- chal Niel not until 1864. When we consider that the Bride was only introduced in 1885 and Bridesmaid in 1893, and that each is likely to be little grown in America under glass a couple of years hence, we are tempted to ask if half a cen- tury hence any grower will have the temerity to grow even a few plants of either sort. Yet Safrano is 71 years old, and, while small compared with present-day teas and hybrid teas, its bright apricot buds are pleasing and make charming boutonnieres. As grown by William H. Elliott at Madbury, with 18-inch to 24 inch stems, this grand old rose shows no signs of decrepitude or running out, and the better class Boston stores have quite a number of critical customers who regularly buy this rose. W. N. Craig. ROSE BEETLES. I am sending a sample of bugs that are playing havoc with my field roses, especially the white varieties. Can you tell me what they are and give me a remedy! F. G. H. The specimens were quite lively when received. They are the common rose beetles, better known as rose bugs. We know of no way of fighting these, ex- cept by hand picking. When they are present in large numbers, mosquito cov- erings are sometimes used to keep them out. They have a marked partiality for light-colored flowers; pure white ones, like Frau Karl Druschki, Margaret Dickson, Clothilde Soupert, Mme. Plan- tier and White Maman Cochet, are es- pecially attractive to them. As these are slow moving creatures, it is not much of a task to pick over a number of bushes at the flowering season. Tu addition to roses, some other plants, such as grape vines, Syringa Japoniea and hardy hydrangeas, are often attacked by these rose beetles. Poisonous sprays seem to have no effect whatever on them. C. W. FEEBLE ROSE PLANTS. I am sending you a specimen rose plant, showing a trouble which extends all over my Perle des Jardins and Yel- low Cochet, Can you tell me the cause and the remedy? F. T. It would be much easier for me and leave me less room for guesswork if querists would be more explicit and give trouble by the leaves, which are usually too much dried up and shriveled to bear close inspection. With a few particulars as to treatment and environment, some- times a fair diagnosis can be made and a remedy suggested, while the bare specimen, if in the condition I have described, conveys no meaning. The specimens in this instance are, to say the least, too weak for planting. They also, evidently, have not received suffi- cient ventilation, as the few leaves left intact show signs of scalding. The soil is not of a good quality for roses and will require cultivating every week to keep it in fair condition. Keep on a good crack of air on all favorable occasions. Stir the surface of the soil to the depth of an>inch. Syringe twice a day during bright weather and keep the night temperature at 56 to 58 degrees. The day temperature in cloudy weather should be 60 to 65 degrees, and in bright weather 74 degrees. This treat- ment should start them into health. Re- frain from feeding until the plants are well established and showing vigorous growth. Ribes. EELWORMS AND KNOTTED ROOTS, I am sending by mail a sample of Bride rose plants which I received some time ago, said to be fall propagated and winter rested.

The stating of a few facts, such as when the stock was planted and how it has been treat- ed since then, and especially the temper- ature it has been subjected to, would give me a chance to find the cause of the trouble and possibly enable me to point a remedy. Most of the speci- mens reach me in such a condition that even with a magnifier of high power I am unable to detect any trace of teristic of the whole batch, me the cause of it. Kindlv tell J. P.'K. The specimen sent was badly affected by eelworms. Your best course will be to clean out the bench, put in fresh, clean soil and replant with new stock. Ribes.

Most of tlio retail florists who liave adopted the automobile for delivery purposes have chosen gasoline motors, but A. Lange has just put an electric delivery car on the streets of Chicago. He figures that the required service may be had at a cost for operation and upkeep considerably less than the out- go on a gasoline car. Lange 's is a Studcbakor product. It has a speed of twelve miles an hour and a battery capacity of forty-five miles on one charge. The car has 2%-inch solid rubber tires, fine coach finish on the body and all lettering in gold. The carrying space is 44x60x82 inches and there are two removable racks that may be used as needed. There are front and rear doors, ventilators and electric heat- ing device, as well as electric lights in- side and out. DECORATING AUTOS. If, as many allege, the automobile has done an injury to the flower business, the way to get even is to encourage the parades of decorated autos. These seem to make a hit wherever they occur, and the fad for them already has reached the smaller cities. A few days ago there was an automobile parade at Xfenia, O., and it fell to a florist at Jamestown, a neighboring city, to carry away first prize of $100. The car was decorated by H. C. Fenker, to whom the owner gave the prize money. Mr. Fenker used hardy cut ferns as the basis of his decoration, literally cover- ing the car with them and creating an excellent effect, as will be shown by the accompanying illustration. Smilax was used where ferns did not meet the need. The flowers were 500 short, well opened Beauties. This was all the material used, except for some ribbon, a stufifed eagle and a dove, which was attached to the top of the canopy over the rear seat. Mr. Fenker says that the advertising value of his success has been worth to him fullv as much as the money gained by it. ■ OBERTIN AND HIS OUTFIT. At Kenosha, Wis., not long since there was a parade of decorated deliv- ery and other vehicles in which a large part of the city's business houses were represented. The accompanying illus- tration shows the wagon of Peter M. Obertin decked out as a florist's outfit always should be for such an event It took first prize. Mr. Obertin stands at the left in the picture. MOSCHOSMA BIPARIUM. I wish to know if Moschosma ripa- rium is a profitable plant commercially. T never see it advertised m The Keview and believe it is comparatively a new plant and that its blooming season is during the winter. C. M. W. This winter-blooming plant was intro duced to the American trade by C. H. Totty three or four years ago. It makes a neat pot plant, but is better adapted for culture on private than on commer- cial establishments. The flowers soon fade when cut and the plants keep poor- ly in living-rooms. In a cool greenhouse they last well. While this plant blooms at Christmas, I do not consider it of much commercial value. It is occasion- ally advertised in The Keview under classified advertisements. W. C. SALVIAS FROM SEED. Will Salvias Zuricli and Bonfire conic true from seed? J. M. We have found Salvias Zuricli and Bonfire come true from seed. It is, of course, necessary that your seed ho purchased from a thoroughly reliable source. Plants propagated from cut tings are somewhat dwarfer and start to bloom earlier than seedlings. We have not found that they possess the same vigor, however. It has often been a wonder to us that so many growers persist year after year in propagating their salvias from cut- tings. The old plants take up con siderable room and are ei;cellent breed- ing places for mealy bug. Seedlings are so easily and inexpensively raised that it does not pay to carry over these old stock plants. Be sure, however, that you get your seed from a gilt- edged house. Cheap seed never pays in the end, nor does it pay to trade with firms of whose reliability you know- nothing. C. BUILDING A PIT. I am in a quandary and appeal to you i„r advice. I have no greenhouse here; in fact, there is not even a conservatory in town. Our winters in this southern latitude, except in two extreme cases, when the oranges were all killed in Florida, have been extremely mild, i liave been carrying my plants in a pit, without anv artificial heat. My pit is MX feet six inches wide, five feet to top of ground and twenty-five feet long. It is curbed with 2-inch lumber and has a roof like a lean-to. covered with hot- lied sashes eight feet long. As a mat- ter of course, 1 ran the back or north side up much higher than the front, so as to get the proper slope. When I ordered ''Greenhouse Con- struction," by L. R. Taft, from you some time ago, I was thinking about building a small concrete greenhouse, myself, on top of the ground, and thought I could make it thoroughly warm by being particular with it, with- out any artificial heat, and could thus save my old pit for more hardy things which I am obliged to winter. But, on looking through the book, I find Mr. Taft says that concrete would be a great conductor of heat. Artificial heat being quite expensive here, it would not pay me to use any, so I have abandoned the idea. I have been wondering recently whether it would be feasible for me to widen my pit ten or twelve feet and build it up with concrete, instead of wood curbing, to the surface of the ground, putting on a three-quarter-span roof. I would protect the higher north wall with soil. Now, the question is, would that be too close and damp with only my top ventilators in the roof, or would I have to build eighteen or twenty inches above ground for side lights and ventilators, and would there be air enough,, even with that, for mums, etc., in the summer time? E. H. S. The difiiculty referred to, loss of heat by radiation from solid grout walls, applies in the northern states, where the temperature may remain below zero for days at a time during the winter but would be of little importance in the extreme south, where the thermom- eter seldom reaches the freezing point Auto Decorated by R C Fenker, Jamestown, Ohio. JuiA- 7, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review* Lange's New Electric Delivery Outfit. By building the walls of hollow cement blocks or building a grout wall with a core, so as to form a 2-inch air space, the loss of heat would be comparatively small. If the pit is constructed with an even-span roof, the walls need not ex- tend much above the general level of the surface, and if the soil is mounded against the grout there will be little loss of heat, even from a solid grout wall. If preferred, there would be no objection to the three-quarter-span house, and, especially if hollow cement blocks are used, the walls could be car- ried three or four feet above the sur- face without appreciable loss of heat. This would greatly lessen the labor of caring for the house. NATIONAL SWEET PEA SOCIETY.

There Are Two Points of View. While working in the potting shod I heard some one say, "I can pot 10,000 plants a day. ' ' The statement created an hour's discussion. It always seemed to me that sometimes it is quite imma- terial whether one plants fast or slow; the point is that it be well done. But the Boss doesn 't always agree. He thinks we have to hurry up if our work is to bring him any profit. We young fellows always believe we are getting the small end of the deal. We have all the rough work to do, cleaning up the houses each evening, washing old pots, mixing one or two of the standard ingredients together and naming it "liquid fertilizer," or some other such work. It's mighty healthy work, though, because most florists live to be 80 — more or less. And so it goes. We are seldom satis- fied. We can all aspire to be a Burbank, a Peter Henderson, or a Bailey, but of what good is it when we haven 't the money to show what we can do? It used to be that a man could start a business on $.500 and get rich in a few years, but now, so we think, the man who succeeds is the man who works, and works hard. There is a whole lot in that word work, fellows. Ever stop to think that your employ- er has just a little to look after, and that he has just a little responsibility resting on his shoulders? Ever stop to think, Mr. Employer, that your men might appreciate a little more considera- tion than you were giving them? I tell you, fellows, I haven't much use for the man, the employee, who doesn 't do his best; neither have I much use for the employer who thinks only of his men as a slave-driver would his slaves. I worked for a man one time. Tired the boilers for his twelve houses when the temperature would descend to 30 degrees below zero. He appre- ciated it — not, it seemed to me. ile gave me $I..jO a day, board myself and pay my own car fare. Did 1 jjet rich on the remainder? However, hitor he asked me to become a partner in tlic bnsiness. I have read most of the articles on "The Relation Between the Man and His Boss," or something to that effect. There's a whole lot in this question, or it wouldn't create so much discus sion. But I have reached the conclu- sion that if we practice the golden rule all will be well. The Employer's View. Looking at the question from the em- ployer's point of view, wo find tiiat his ideas are vastly different from those of the man below. He is the Head, and must have full control of all situ- ations. Like a general, he must com- mand. He may be occasionally wrong, but who is not? Most of us are only human. Of course, some few have ar- rived at the point wherein they fancy (it's only fancy) they are "It. with a big I." We should be thankful that they are few and far between. They are not the employer we shall discuss. .\s I said before, the golden rule must be given an opportunity to get in its work whenever possible. Give the employer his due, for he is the Boss of his own place. The man who sometimes is wrong is not always so. Give him what credit he deserves. Did you ever stop to think that maybe your employer had made plans to boost you as you made good? An ideal employer is one who knows not only his own position in the business, but his men's position as well. Once in a while we find that the Boss has planned to increase our salary. He doesn 't run to us with gladsome news, but bides his time and gives it when it is least expected. The employer occasionally has bills to meet. Seems strange, doesn't it? The "hired help" doesn't have to worrv. Not he! The Boss does that. without saying much about it. And did you ever stop to think, Mr. Employee, that the Good-natured Foreman is the man who holds your future m the hol- low of his hand? He talks for the Head. He reflects the Head's ideas to such an extent that you can understand them. There is quite a moral to this. It consists principally of a half dozen words, "Don't try to bulldoze the tore- man." It seldom pays. Don't Be a Knocker, Once in a long while the employee may reflect on the way the business is lici'ng run, and proceeds to convey his thoughts to his fellows. That is a delightful method to instill harmony into the rest of the "bunch." You have such a delightful time telling the fellows how you love the Boss, how you would run the business if you had it, and a lot of other interesting things. There is nothing like a good camp-meet- ing at noon time. The fellows perch on chairs, tables, or what not, and pro- ceed to open the discussion by taking a shot at the Bosss. He isn't there, but what's the odds? You'd tell him just the same. Don't do it, fellows; 'twill do no good. Why can't you cheer up the "Old Slan" occasionally? Make your department the best in the place. Don 't be envious if someone else gets the raise when you were expecting it. I've been there. I know. Give the Men a Chance. The knowing ones say that the em- ployer must not think his men are mere' machines. The florists' business is the one business that requires some little intelligence to succeed. An intelligent emploj-ee is a valuable asset in the busi- ness. Encourage, not discourage your men. Give them to understand that there is some incentive for them to do their best. Don't cuss every time something goes wrong. You may be at fault yourself. Don't send a man to repair a broken glass in the plant house with the temperature 30 below and then cuss because he is slow. It doesn't improve your standing with him. You need not be too intimate with your men. It doesn't pay. It pavs, how- ever, to give every man the courteous treatment to which he is entitled Another thing: If you have occasion to reprimand a fellow, call him to one side— to your office when no one is around— and have it out with him Of course you might, as some still do ball him out before his fellows, but it h'ardlv pays in the end. It gives the bunch \5i^^>^ri'' Establishment of the Herms Floral Co., Portsmouth, Ohio. Jui.v 7, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review* Inside Glazed Iron-Bar Greenhouse of the Herms Floral G)., Portsmouth, Ohio. something new to talk about, and is a good example of — your temper. Another thing, Mr. Employer; when a man wants to talk to you regarding the question of salary, don't laugh it off, or put him off with no definite under- standing. He is entitled to courteous treatment; if you can afford to increase his salary — and he is worthy — do so, and you Avill be repaid a hundred per cent. If you can't afford it, tell him why; don't fool him. Your own repu- tation is always at stake. I mean the reputation you bear with the men. It is a fine test of your manners, Mr. Employer, to fail to acknowledge a pleasant "Good morning" when you enter your place of business. The atmos- phere seems so inspiring during the rest of the day! One more thing, Mr. Em- ployer: Whenever a man happens to break something, proceed to give him a tongue-lashing. It improves the work- men's environment! Not! There 's a lot to this question, all right. The best I can say is: Think, Mr. Employer, of your men. Put yourself in their place, and things may seem different. And to you, Mr. Employee, work for the Boss' interest at all times. Let harmony prevail in your relation with the other fellows — and you '11 be happy. F. K. B. WINTER STOCKS. Will you please inform me whether double white stocks can be grown profitably in the winter? If so, in what temperature should they be grown and when should they be started to have flowers bv Thanksgiving and Christ- mas? ' C. M. W. If, however, you have a good local trade, calling for this class of flowers, they would probably pay you well. Sow seeds of any of the winter-blooming sorts early in August for Thanksgiving, and in the middle of the same month for Christmas. A night temperature in winter of 45 to 50 degrees is suitable. The latter figure should not be ex- ceeded. C. FORMULA FOR PUTTY. A subscriber wants to know "the formula for a greenhouse putty, for use in a putty bulb, that will not run in warm weather or heave in cold weather and that will be pliable at all seasons." Can anyone supply it? Stocks for winter flowering are only fairly profitable. The sale for them in the big markets is somewhat limited in winter, but improves toward spring and is especially good for Memorial day. AN INSIDE GLAZED HOUSE. Home-made greenhouses are the ex- ception, now that the manufacturers of structural material have reduced their business to an exact science. They fur- nish mill work that goes together with the utmost ease, while the quality of the material and the prices made pos- sible by a large output make it practi- cally out of the question for the local planing mills to compete. But now and then some grower builds a house for himself to work out some long cherished plan, now and then achieving a result of such practical character that the ideas employed come into general use. There are several points of special in- terest about the house built by the Herms Floral Co., Portsmouth, O., and shown in the accompanying illustration. The roof construction, on which a pat- ent recently has been granted, embodies inside glazing with a cheap form of iron roof construction, using glass 16x •48, with no putty. Wood is steadily dropping out of greenhouse construc- tion. Perhaps the day will come when cypress will be so scarce other roof ma- terials will become a necessity. At any rate, the Herms house, which contains no wood whatever, not in walls, benches or even in ventilating sashes, is inter- esting as a step in that direction. Mr. Herms describes the house as follows: "The picture does not show the ven- tilators, which are not quite completed, but will be of small galvanized iron frame and will add no noticeable shade to the house. We used ordinary tee-iron bars, l%x3/16, and the glass is butted and laid underneath, using double 'V galvanized iron drip conductors to sup- port the glass, and secured by brass thumb screws. There is no drip to this roof, and leakage is trifling, though no putty or filling of any kind is used. Lead washers are used to butt the bot- tom lights, and though last winter was a severe one, we had no cracked glass, showing perfect allowance for expan- sion. This method may not be prac- ticable on wide roofs, where purlins are necessary, but we see no advantages over the short span, as the heavier ridge and purlins make up for the small iron gutters. There is no climbing over the roof, and the glass can be laid in half the time of the tack-and-putty methods. We have two lights 16x48 on a side, which means only one butt, and this can be made a good one, and large glass is laid quicker. You can readily see the danger by blowing out of glass is elim- inated by this method, as the pressure is uniform along the bars and there is no putty to crack off, leaving the tack pressure against the glass. I also wish to emphasize that this roof was de- signed for cheapness as well as for durability, and so far is no disappoint- ment.

The old tiger lily, L. tigrinum, intro- duced oyer a century ago from China, is a familiar feature in almost every hardy herbaceous garden. The form splendens, here illustrated, is a decided improve- ment on the type. It grows taller, often attaining a height of six feet or more, and carries, when well grown, twenty- five to thirty flowers to a stem. There are fewer spots on the flowers than in the case of the ordinary form, but they are of larger size. Grown side by side, the splendens form is vastly superior in every way. , For large masses in the garden or iu rows for cutting, no lily can surpass this for beauty. It succeeds better in the open than in the shade and does not run out as do many other lilies. In New England it has escaped from cultivation and is often seen flowering superbly along the roadways in ground of a stony or gravelly nature. To grow it well the bulbs, whiteh are cheap, should be planted in November nine inches deep. In Au gust and September masses at the backs of borders are effective. For cutting where orange red flowers are wanted. nothing can be finer. W. N. Craig. s ^♦^.'♦^r-.>.»<^r..^.<^-f SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS Clivias. Olivias, or imantophyllums, are less grown by florists than th.eir beauty and lasting qualities warrant. They are of easy culture and do well in any ordinary greenhouse. The old C. miniatum is still mostly seen, but it is far outclassed by the newer hybrids, which have much larger trusses of flowers, and richer in coloring and of increased size as com- pared with the type. The best summer location for these is outdoors in the shade of some trees. The water supply must not be excessive. The plants have large, fleshy roots and the leaves have great substance, so it is safer to underwater rather than over- water them. If drainage is not good the plants will become waterlogged and, as a consequence, the plants are liable to rot off in hot, moist weather. A syring- ing once a day and a watering when they have dried out well, which may be only once a week, even in midsummer, will keep the plants in good condition. If a suitable outdoor location is not at command, the plants will do well in an airy greenhouse, well shaded. Hollyhocks. Reports from the east say the abun- dant moisture of the first half of June caused hollyhocks to make remarkably good growth, and there is, happily, less disease than usual among them. About the time the plants come into flower is a good time to make a liberal sowing of seed for next year's supply. There is no better strain than Chater's. Sowing may be made either outdoors or in a coldframe. The latter is best, 08 the seed can be watered and pro- tected by lath shadings until the seed- lings germinate. Sown thus early, strong plants will be had before fall. Plantsmen find that there is a growing demand for these old-time favorites for mixed flower borders. Dotted in lines or groups, nothing is more stately or effective. Empty Flower Pots. With the end of the bedding-out sea- son, a large quantity of empty pots may be lying around. These, on all sys- tematic places, are kept in assorted sizes and are not mixed up haphazard, as is too often seen, entailing needless break- age and au everlasting turning over and shifting when particular sizes an; wanted. Every size should be stacked separately. Take advantage of stormy weather or hot waves, when the heat is too overpowering for greenhouse work, to get sizes you are likely to need cleaned and in readiness. The inside of a pot should always be clean before any plant goes into it. A rubbing out will answer, but washing is better. Plants will not thrive in dirty pots any more than humans will in unwashed bodies. Perennial Lupines. Lupines, the beautiful and stately herbaceous perennials, are always in strong demand. Now is a good time to sow a batch of seeds in a coldframe. They will be fit to transplant within a month, or even less, and will make strong, salable plants before fall. The best known varieties of these are Lu- pinus polyphyllus, blue, and the white variety, alba, but there is now a beau- tiful pink form named roseus. just as vigorous as the older sorts and which attracts the immediate attention of ..veryone. Sow seeds of this now, and ,he plants will flower well next season Vou can easily save your own seed of •,11V of these perennials and sow them as snon as gathered, which will insure an ;iluindant crop of seedlings. Perennial Larkspurs. What a gorgeots show the delphin- iums are now making! They embrace ;ibout every shade of blue imaginable, and their long, stately spikes m clumps or masses in the hardy borders surpass ill beauty almost any other hardy peren- nial grown. It is a good plan to save seed from some of the finest spikes. Tie such spikes up and mark them. Many growers think that seedlings thus raised are stronger and of equal quality to the lu'st imported. It is not even now too late to sow a good batch of seed in a coldframe. It will germinate within a week and, if transplanted in cool, moist weather and kept well cultivated among, the seedlings will make strong plants before the time for fall planting ar- rives. In addition to the tall delphiniums, do not overlook the dwarfer growing Chi- nese larkspurs, D. Chinense, deep azure blue, and D. Chinense alba, pure white. These flower quickly from seed and are splendid for cutting. Among the tall delphiniums, the variety formosum, dark blue, white eye, and formosum cceles- tinum, pale blue, large flowers, are espe- cially fine. Late Outdoor Annuals. A last sowing of a number of annuals suitable for cutting may still be made, and, unless you get an early frost, all of them will flower. Among suitable varieties to sow now are any of the an- nual larkspurs and lupines, sweet alys- sums, mignonettes, candytufts, clarkias — the variety Salmon Queen is fine — coreopsis in variety, calendulas and Shirley poppies. If these can be sown where some water can be given to start ■^m^ ;r K V ^^N «,!.-■ Lilium Tigrinum Splendens. JUI-Y 7, 11)10.

Mignonette, to succeed best when sown now, wants a somewhat shaded location. Antirrhinums. From plants set out early, a nice batch of antirrhinum cuttings should now be procurable. These, if rooted and kept potted along, will make nice 4-inch pot plants by the middle of Sep- tember. If you have any plants in small pots you want to bench early, do not allow them to become potbound. Pinch out the flowering stems as the buds show. Keep the plants in a frame without any sashes over them. If they can be par- tially plunged in fine coal ashes, they will require less water and grow much better. From a good strain of seed plants will come very true to color, and if no cut- tings are procurable, sow some seed now. It is not possible to get as even a strain in color or character as from cuttings, but the seedlings possess great vigor and if kept potted along they will make strong slants before any of the early mum benches are cut over. In using seedlings it is a good plan to mark a few of the finest varieties and select cuttings from these to grow along for another season. Bulb Compost. It will be some time before the French or Dutch bulbs arrive, but it is better to prepare a pile of compost for them now, rather than when they are on the place. If you stacked up a pile of sod and cow manure last fall, chop this down and throw it in a heap. Bulbs like a light and rather rich soil. One- third of the whole should be decayed manure. If you have any spent hotbed manure, or such as has been used in the make-up of a mushroom bed, either of these is excellent for bulbs. A few shovels of soot and some sharp sand should also be added. It is much better to leave out bone and all chemical fer- tilizers. These are more likely to be harmful than helpful. Turn the pile over twice or thrice to thoroughly mix it, and it will be in a fine mechanical condition when you want it in Septem- ber and October. Summer Lilies. The Lilium speciosum bulbs potted last December and growing in a cool house will soon be coming into flower. In the summer months, while the de- mand for flowers is comparatively light, there is nevertheless a fairly constant call for choice blooms, especially for fu- neral work. L. speciosum album is one of the most useful of all pure white flowers for this purpose, and by retard- ing some of the plants a quite long suc- cession of flowers is possible. The stalks also are well adapted for cutting, as the buds will open up nicely in water. Be sure that green aphis is not allowed to gain a foothold at this time, or the re- sult will be seen in discolored and de- formed blooms. For L. speciosum ru- brum the call is less than for the pure white variety, but there is also a fairly good call for it. Keep the glass well shaded where these lilies are growing and be sure to afford them an abundant water supply. The present is a suitable time to se- cure and pot up a batch of retarded bulbs of L. longiflorum and speciosum. The former can go singly in ;> inch pots; the latter three to five in a 7-inch or 8-inch pot. Stand them on a cellar floor, or in a coldframe. Water well and keep dark. In a cellar the pots need not be covered, but in a frame, where the pots will dry out more, cover with some short, littery straw or ex- celsior. The Mum Manual, by Elmer D. Smith, for 40 cents sent to The Review. NEW YORK. The Market. For days it has been close to 100 de- grees in the shade. Monday, the holi- day, after the morning market, was 'gen- erally observed, nearly all the wholesale and retail stores being closed. The price of American Beauties for selected stock holds at last week's quotations, and this applies also to all other selected stock, but for anything inferior it is useless to quote any valuation. The question is how to get rid of it at any price. Qual- ity has depreciated with the abnormal spell of hot weather, which, coupled with humidity, is causing many pros- trations and adding to the mildew and deterioration of stock at an alarming rate. There is no advance in the price of carnations. In quantity, the best have sold as low as .$10 per thousand, while of the sleepy and inferior grades the sales are made in bulk; the street merchants hand carnations out at 5 cents a dozen, and sweet peas at 5 cents a bunch. For the latter they pay as low as $5 per thousand bunches. The se- lected sweet pea stock, however, main- tains its value and the limited supply of the best grade meets with a ready sale. There is no let-up in the shipment of orchids, and prices are seeking their summer level. Lilies and valley are abundant and prices are low. Gladioli are arriving in larger quantity daily, and prices are fast receding. It will not be long until the local growers begin their immense daily shipments at $5 per thousand. Various Notes.

We give them. You get them. We both have them. Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar bill that insures fifty- two copies. Advertisers never should permit an ofifer to stand after they have sold out of stock, and if orders come after stock is gone the golden rule requires that no- tice be sent immediately. The larger cemeteries now nearly all have greenhouse departments and cater actively for the business florists formerly secured from lot-owners, in the majority of cases prohibiting outside florists from doing work in the cemetery. Southern mill owners say that the demand for pecky cypress is strong. Under such a condition they do not seek orders from florists, or for stock for florists' benches, as other trades will take random widths and the bench build- er wants only 6-inch boards. N. H. BOLLER, of Darling & Co., Union Stock Yards, Chicago, says that all the fertilizers that are by-products of the abattoirs will, in his opinion, be short of the demand for an indefinite time, because of light supply of raw material. IN CASE OF DOUBT— Ask The Beview. The Review always is glad to reply to inquiries concerning any part of the flower business, but please don't ask us to decide bets — the sporting editor is on vacation — or to say which is right in a business dispute — everyone knows the fate of the peacemaker, and we wish to avoid it. Q. — I am building a greenhouse 18x 60; what make of boiler should I buy! Ans. — We are not in the habit of rec- ommending any boiler as best adapted to any given situation. All the boilers advertised in The Review are good boilers, and the advertisers sell them on their merits. Write to them, and they will give you all necessary information to enable you to make a choice for yourself. Q.— I find it difficult to get trade prices from some of the houses that are best worth dealing with; how shall I proceed? Ans, — Probably if you used a printed letter-head that showed your connection with the florists' business you would have no further trouble — a business man may reasonably be ex- pected to have business stationery. SOCIETY or AMERICAN FLORISTS. Separate Sections at Convention. At the mid-Lent meeting of the exec- utive board the following resolution was passed: "Resolved, That if five or more members write to the secretary express- ing an especial interest in any floricul- tural topic and request the organizing of a section devoted to that subject, the secretary shall assign a place on the program to that topic and shall desig- nate it by a suitable name as a separate section." A place on the program has been re- served for such sections and the secre- tary will be pleased to hear from any members who wish the organization of such a section. H. B. Dorner, Sec'y.

Miss Meinhardt, president of the Ladies' Society of American Florists, has appointed Mrs. Richard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md., on the board of directors to fill out the unexpired term of Mrs. W. J. Vesey, deceased. Mrs. Chas. H. Maynard, Sec'y. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. Orders have not decreased in the same proportion that the supply of good stock has fallen off. Business, though not rushing, is good for July. Receipts are nearly at the lowest ebb, and the qual- ity of stock is that typical of midsum- mer. Those houses which have made special provision for a summer cut are getting some first-class stock, but the small growers, whose facilities are not equal to running a part of the place for sum- mer, are just between seasons; a good many are cutting nothing and many others are cutting either the last from the old stock or the first from the early replanted houses, and in neither case is the stock equal to the needs of the ship- ping trade. Within the last week not a few orders for roses have been turned down because the wholesalers could not find flowers of the quality necessary to stand an overnight journey. At the same time there were plenty of short and open roses that were sold cheaply. White Killarney is beginning to come in heavily, and with a few growers would be capable of competition with Kaiserin except for the fact that White Killar- ney is not clear in color until cool weather comes. The Beauties are mostly from young stock, or from stock planted specially for a summer crop. The qual- ity is good for this time of year, but the demand is not extensive. The receipts of carnations have be- come light, and the demand even light- er. Buyers already are inquiring for asters, but the prospect for these is not especially bright. Locally the weather through June was too dry. Outdoor gladioli from southern Illinois are com- ing in heavily, together with a few asters from that section. The glads, though not of specially good quality, are selling quite well. Sweet peas, now all from the open ground, have been far in excess of the demand. Many are well sold at 5 cents a bunch, for not all can find a buyer at any price. The peonies in storage have been nar- rowed down to practically two lots. The holders of both these have shoved off their poor stock along with the quan- tities stored by other growers, so that the stock remaining is of pretty fair quality, especially by comparison with that taken out of storage in the last few days of June and the first few days of July. Many of the flowers showed frost marks when they went into stor- age, and many heads dropped promptly upon being brought again into summer Jl'LV 7, 1910.

Ezehanre all Ocpartments Mention Tbe Review when you write. heat. The holders believe that the flowers now in the cooler will not fall off and that they will be, in the next fortnight, the most satisfactory stock on the market. They are anticipating good sale because of the shortage of other first-class flowers, but wholesalers quite generally agree that the buyers this season are refusing to enthuse over peonies; they are not in request, selling only when brought to the attention of the buyer. Easter lilies are no longer in exces- sive supply. They sell steadily, and better prices are being realized than a fortnight ago. Shasta daisies became abundant in the last days of June, and the price suffered accordingly, though much of the stock is fine. The passing of the wedding season ended the special demand for valley and left the growers with some stock unmarketed. The supply of green goods is in every way equal to the demand. rourth's Fatality and Fire. The one fatal accident in Chicago's sane Fourth occurred in the greenhouses of Peter Eeinberg. Some of the men worked a while in the morning, one of them known to the rest as "Big John" Gawrys bringing an old revolver with him. While another employee named Richard Weber was examining the weapon he accidentally discharged it, the bullet piercing "Big John's" brain. Weber was arrested pending the in- quest. The largest loss in the city from fire started by fireworks, was sustained by Adam Zender, 6638 Ridge avenue, Rogers Park. He estimates his loss at $6,000. The fire started in the hay in the barn adjoining the greenhouses "and complete- ly destroyed one house, with consider- able damage to the house next to it. The replanting of these rose houses had just been completed. June Business. June was not an especially good month in this market, although the volume of business as measured by dol- lars and cents doubtless exceeded any other June. The first ten days were excellent. Then came unseasonable heat, greatly increasing production. For a few days cash receipts increased with the increase in suplies, even while aver- age prices fell, but soon conditions be- came such that values were forced so low that sales fell below last year's records. In the last days of the month business settled down to the usual sum- mer character. Weather in June. The first part of June was cool, while the latter two-thirds of the month were much warmer than usual. The rainfall was less than one inch, which is not one- fifth of last year's June record and less than one-third the normal. The percent- age of possible sunshine was eighty, which is far above normal. On eleven days of the month there were over fif teen hours of sunshine, while the least sun on any day of the month was two hours and eighteen minutes. Various Notes. The Florists' Club will hold its regu- lar monthly meeting at the Union to- night, July 7. Dinner will be served at 7:30 sharp. One of the special booklets issued by Rosehill cemetery is in the interest of its greenhouse department. Eight pages illustrate the plant houses, while others describe the florists' services rendered lot-owners. Peter Risch, speaking for Weiland & Risch and other greenhouse owners, re- cently appeared before the city council at Evanston opposing the new rates for city water, which he said would compel large users like the cut flower growers to sink artesian wells. Several other classes of users also complained. As- surances were given that an adjustment will be made. Mr. Risch recently has visited his daughter, Mrs. P. J. dinger at Cincinnati. ■ ' The Geo. Wittbold Co. reports that business has been unusually good this spring; shipping trade has been excel- lent and spring stock is practically cleaned out. This firm has just received a large importation of palms, dracsenas, etc., which it is growing on for the fall trade.

Andrew Benson, superintendent at Bassett & Washburn's, has invented a simple contrivance for vaporizing nico- tine extracts. In a large house it is difficult to apply these to the heated steam pipes with an oil can, as most growers do, and get the whole house treated before the fumes become too strong for the men on the job. Mr. Benson's contrivance is merely a piece of pipe with a little' trough on the top. This is to be inserted in one of the pipes at each of the usual joints. When it is desired to fumigate, the steam is turned off from this pipe, the insecticide is put into the troughs while the pipe is cold, and the steam is turned on again, va- porizing the material. A.

Upon occasion these have sold excellently, but when no advance arrangements for spe- cial wedding orders had been booked they were slow sale. Frank Johnson, of the A. L.

He did' not have time to call on all of the firm's supply customers in the section covered, but reports the biggest busi- ness he ever has had on the road.

The Market Hot weather continued throughout the last two weeks and business has been nothing to brag of, although there has been plenty of stock, the quality of which is good for this season of the year. Prices have been quite low and much of the stock spoils. This section of the country was vis- ited by a much needed rain the early part of last week. This is the first rain we have had for some time, and, of course, crops were suffering badly, so the rain was quite a blessing. Various Notes. Quite a number of our Dayton florists seem to have the building fever this summer. Among them is John Boehner, who has torn down a section of his plant and in its place is erecting three large and modern houses. Mr. Boehner reports that business this last season has been exceptionally good. The Heiss Co. is also tearing down part of its range and erecting one large new house. This company reports that, although business is a little quiet now, the past season was quite satisfactory. The new addition to Mrs. B. Hasch- ke's plant is now under course of con- struction, and promises to be a great im- provement to her present establishment. Jos. Furst has also added quite ex- tensively to his range. The material for his new houses was furnished by the Foley Mfg. Co. Mr. Furst started in business in a small way a few years ago, at his present location, and has been quite successful, his business growing so that it was necessary for him to enlarge his place. The five new houses, each 32x240, of the Miami Floral Co. are now completed, and make a fine appearance. The mill work for this range was furnished by the John C. Moninger Co., the iron gut- ters and truss construction by the Geo. M. Garland Co., of Des Plaines, 111., and the ventilating apparatus by the Quaker Citjr Machine Co., of Richmond, Ind., while the work of construction was done by Adam Weber, of Cincinnati, O. The entire addition will be given over to the growing of roses — two houses Of Beauties, one of Rhea Reid, and the other two of Brides and Maids, all of which will be in bench by July 15. Vis- itors are invited to come and inspect this new range. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Weber and daugh- ter, Gladys, of Cincinnati, O., were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Bartholo- mew last week.

The Rising Eastern Market. The week, June 30 to July 6, has been dull, probably marking the lowest ebb of the tide. The heat, fierce in its intensity, and the great national holi- day combined, have been too much for business. The human sea poured from the city to the country and to the ocean shore. Flowers lost their charm. It is time, for the stock has gone downhill fast under the fierce heat. There is some good new crop material arriving. Beauties from down east, Maryland and Kaiserin roses, a few nice carnations, chiefly Winsor and Boston Market, some nice lilies, giganteum, water (in colors) and of the vale — if you will permit warm weather levity. Late sweet peas are abundant and fine. Gladioli, quite decorative in fancy sorts, and, sure sign of midsummer, asters, are here — not the great, big, tony- blooded fellows, but the early birds, nice flowers that will do until people are educated to something better. The chief feature of the market is the in- crease in outdoor summer flowers. Everything of a week ago is more plen- tiful now. The farmers are even send- ing in those showy yellow field daisies, with brown stamens. To sum up the market, prices are low, receipts far exceed the demand, and business is fair considering conditions. The stock not scorched by the heat has revived under the delightfully cool weather of July 4 to 6. An Important Purchase. The Leo Niessen Co. has bought three buildings at the northwest corner of Twelfth and Race streets, one square north of the present location. The properties combined have a frontage of sixty feet on Race street and 100 feet on Twelfth street, also sixty feet front on Silver, a small 20-foot street running parallel to Race street. When asked about the plans of his company Leo Niessen said that the three build- ings now on the properties will be torn down. In their place a 6-story concrete building will be erected. The first floor will have a ceiling eighteen feet high- the basement ceiling will be twelve feet high. The first floor and basement are intended for the company's wholesale cut flower business. The other floors will be, oflfered for rent. When asked the object of the move, Mr. Niessen said It was to secure light and space. The unusually high ceilings, with front- ages on three streets, will afford abun- dant light, while the first floor will con- tain 6,000 square feet of floor space and the basement 7,000 square feet as it will stretch half way under Siw street. When asked wLn"fhe buSii: would be moved to the new place Mr Niessen said that would depLd! prob^ ably late next winter or early in the spring.

"Mr. Eisele finds his work among the new roses a relaxation from his other work. They are inspirations. A great future is opening before us for the rose in the American garden." A Weil-Known Hand. A newspaper "came in the mail a few days ago. The address was in a hand, clear and flowing, well known to many of us in Philadelphia. The paper proved to be a copy of the Santa Bar- bara Independent of June 8. The marked passage gave an account of the meeting of Luther Burbank, W. Atlee Burpee, Howard M. Earl and Edwin Lonsdale in Lompoc valley, California, Avhat they saw and what they said. The facts gleaned from this para- graph are that Lompoc valley contains some 10,000 fertile acres, the climate favorable to an extent that warrants the name "the home of the sweet pea," also that cherries flourish exceedingly. Mr. Burbank is reported to have ex- pressed regret that he had not located at Lompoc instead of Santa Rosa and that with the concurrence of Mr. Bur- pee he named his wonderful new poppy Fireflame. Reading between the lines, it appeared that Mr. Lonsdale is mak- ing progress, whereat all his Philadel- phia friends will rejoice. Various Notes. The glorious Fourth was generally observed in this city. Business practi- cally ceased; only necessary work was done. Some of the houses were closed all day; some were open for a little while only.

Extreme heat has been our lot of late, and the market has lapsed into midsum- mer dullness, with scarce a ripple to vary its monotony. Koses are in light demand. Some good Kaiserin and Car- not are arriving, while the Killarneys are holding up well, but Richmond is down and out. It is too single for a summer rose. Beauties are also getting poor. There are quantities of poor short-stemmed flowers coming in which are practically unsalable. The heat is having a marked effect on carnations, and the quality is rapidly deteriorating. Quite a number of growers are pulling out their stock and some have stopped sending in any flowers. Prices are al- most unquotable. No reasonable offer, however, is refused. Sweet peas are in abundant supply from outdoors. The Spencer varieties seem to sell the best, but lack somewhat in keeping qualities. Pink, white and lavender are the best selling shades. Gladioli are abundant and sale on them drags. They are already in bloom out- doors. There are some speciosum and auratum, in addition to longiflorum lilies and plenty of outdoor candidums, which, however, are not of good quality and sell poorly. There is now plenty of gypsophila, candytuft, stocks, cornflowers, salpiglos- sis and other summer material, with no BERGER BROTHERS WHOLESALE FLORISTS 1305 rilberf Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

The garden committee of the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society visited The Moorings, Col. H, E. Converse's es- tate, at Marion, Mass., where D. F. Eoy has charge, June 29, and were well en- tertained. This estate is entered for the Hunnewell triennial premium, and quite a number of important changes were noted since the previous visit in 1909. Charles Techa, Thomas Pegler's effi- cient assistant at C Park street, is away on his vacation this week. Among visitors noted last week were: W. P. Dreer, Benjamin Hammond, Fish- kill, N. Y.; F. Mouncy, with W. A. Manda, South Orange, N. J., and W, E. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn. There will be no tickets sold this year for the picnic of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club at Pine Banks park. Maiden, July 27. Admission will be free to all. Peter M. Miller, who has charge of the sports, announces many contributions for prizes and general ex- penses. Any others desiring to con- tribute should do so at once, as it is de- sired to issue the full list of sporting events without delay. The committee expects an attendance of 500 at the picnic. The Thomas J. Grey Co. is still being kept quite busy. They have of late done a heavy business in farming imple- ments, of which they carry a big line. A special car, with an attendance ap- proximating 100, is what is expected from Boston and vicinity for the Eoeh- ester convention. A large enrollment of new members is also a certainty. Kaiserin and Killarney are still of excellent quality at W. H. Elliott's. Ehea Eeid, Mrs. Aaron Ward and Eich- mond are now over for the season. Edgar Bros., of Waverley, are busy filling their houses with chrysanthe- mums. They have had a successful sea- son with sweet peas. Mr. and Mrs. W, H. Elliott and fam- ily closed up their Brighton home and moved to their Madbury, N. H., resi- dence July 2. M. H. Walsh, of Woods Hole, has a fine display of hardy roses at present. The ramblers will be at their best this week. Owing to no summer rose show being held at Boston this year, Mr. Walsh has had no opportunity to show his blooms here. The season just closing has been the most successful Sidney Hoffman has had at his three flower stores. His new store on State street has proved a great success and fills a long-felt want in the financial district. W. N. Craig. MINNEAPOLIS.

The annual rose exhibition of the North Shore Horticultural Society was held in a large marquee on the Loring and Campbell estate, Beverly, June 29 and 30, and was a pronounced success. The attendance of prominent north shore cottagers was large and the com- mittee in charge of the show, William Swan, chairman; John Jaffray, Alex. Shaw, John Chapman and John D. Mor- rison, are to be congratulated on the success which attended their labors. Much interest attached to the dinner- table decoration of eight covers by ladies. The first prize went to Mrs. G. E. Cabot, who used light delphiniums with white roses as favors; Mrs. B. Hammond Tracy was second and had a pretty table of blue cornflowers; Mrs. James McMillan was third, with sweet peas. Eric Wetterlow, gardener to Mrs. Lester Leland, with an excellent ar- rangement, was first for the best group of flowering plants. William Swan, gardener to Miss Helen Hooper, was a good second. The best collection of roses arranged for effect for ladies only came from Miss A. G. Thayer. The eagle head cup for the best collection of garden roses was well won by Will- iam Swan. The Walsh prizes for displays of hardy roses went to Mrs. James Mc- Millan, F. F. Brasch gardener, and Mrs. E. C. Swift, John Chapman, gardener, each of whom had a fine assortment. Eric Wetterlow had the best table of orchids in flower and William Swan led on gloxinias, as well as peonies. Mrs. James McMillan had the best col- lection of sweet peas; Joseph Lipton, second. Delphiniums were remarkably fine; George E, White had the best; William Swan, second. Hardy perennials as usual were finely shown.

Wo are building some new green- houses and would like to put concrete walls on one or two sides. We can get gravel to use, but it is quite expensive; however, we have a large pile of coal ashes that we could use in the place of the gravel. Do you think the ashes would do? If so. what proportion would you use? Would like to hear right away. <^'- T. & S. Coal ashes make the best kind of concrete for greenhouse walls. The usual proportions are six or seven parts ashes to one of cement. To make the iob complete, this should be faced with "a mixture of sand and cement in the proportion of three of sand to one ot cement, about one quarter of an inch thick. ^''^'^^• Bernardsville, N.

Joliet, 111. — Joseph Labo, though re- alizing that the quality of his green- house products is, in one sense, his best advertisement, is shrewd enough to per- ceive that newspaper advertising is a good means of attracting attention to those products. In a conspicuous ad- vertisement in a recent issue of a local paper he uses the following words, which well illustrate the proper com- bination of the two ideas, merit and publicity: "A beautiful sample of our flowers and decorating will be seen at St. John's church June 26. Flowers from our hothouses will be used in abundance on this occasion. Our flow- ers have a recognized perfection. ' ' NEW YORK. [Continued from page U.] principals, every employee is receiving trom two to four weeks of recreative freedom. Early closing, too, is almost universal, and for two months the wholesale and retail merchants will be short-handed. The principals themselves are planning European voyages or auto trips of long duration. Many are al- ready at their country estates or down by the sounding sea. Few of them will miss the convention, if in this country, and several are coming back from the Continent in time to enjoy the great reunion of the S. A. F. Those intend- ing to take the special train via the Lehigh Valley railroad should write at once to Chairman Traendly, of the transportation committee, so that ar- rangements may be completed early for their comfort and convenience. The Greek-American Florists' Asso- ciation will hold its fourth annual out- ing Thursday, July 7, at Wetzel's Grove, College Point, L. I. The com- mittee consists of Messrs. Christatos, Rovatzos, Karampus, Pappas, Carlafters and Polykranas, all prominent members of the society. The balls and outings of this organization have made it fa- mous— 2,000 attended the annual ball, and they expect half as many Thursday. On the same day, as previously an- nounced, the New York and New Jersey Plant Growers' Association celebrates at Lake Hopatcong. Bowling for position in the club to represent New York city at the con- vention began Wednesday evening at Thumm's alleys, Broadway and Thirty- first street. All members of the New York Florists' Club are invited to par- ticipate. No others are eligible. Miss Elsie Simpson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Simpson, of Clifton, N. J., and F. C. Wcllwer were married June 29. Mrs. Hofwood, mother of Mrs. .John A. Foley, is in Europe, settling an es- tate. Mr. Foley is manager for Lecakes & Co., and also proprietor of a rapid transit and paying express business that receives the patronage of the florists' trade. M. A. Bowe caught, on the glorious Fourth, one of the plums that fall from the politician's table: the elaborate decoration of City hall, a most artistic piece of work, that did him much credit. The building was festooned with ever- greens; tall arborvita; crowned the roof; large numbers of bay trees were util- ized. Privet hedges on every side added to the charming ensemble, and the grand stand, where the mayor and emi- nent speakers stood, was decorated with an abundant supply of lilies, irises and American Beauties. The records here show the largest number of June brides in the city 's his- tory; 3,671 licenses were issued, an aver- age of 141 per day. June 14 made the top figure of 236 for the day. In six months 16,850 licenses to marry were granted. No wonder the New Y'ork flo- rists are kept busy with decorations. After a phenomenal season, the seeds- men are taking it easy, maintaining, however, interesting window displays at all times. For bedding plants the de- mand is over. No such season, with its wonderful continuance of planting weather, is remembered by the oldest inhabitant. H. H. Groff, the Canadian gladiolus specialist, was a visitor last week. The Gladiolus Society, President Hendrickson says, already has reached the three figures, with more to foUoi^. 26 TheWcckly Florists' Review. JULY 7, 1910. FANCY FERN ''i^.

Waite, of Yonkers, left Satur- day for a trip to Europe, returning early in October. The alterations referred to many weeks ago in the store of Myer, at Madison avenue and Fifty-eighth street, are now under way, and when com- plete the store will have about double its previous capacity. Echoes of the Outing. Charles Plumb, of Detroit, greatly en- joyed his visit with the local florists at the outing. He is on his way to Europe. Prizes to the value of nearly $400 re- warded the winners in the thirty-five contests, exclusive of the special games and liberal rewards for consolation, open to all who had failed to win and provided by President Miller. If the morning had provided sunshine early, instead of rain, the attendance would have exceeded last year's record of 501. The day turned out an ideal one in every respect, and the early date enabled the club to escape the distress- ing heat of July 1. The general de- sire seems to be for a ten days ' later date next season. The breakfast and dinner provided by Wetzel seemed to be equal to his record of other years to give general satisfac- tion. It would seem wise to limit the ath- letic contests in the future to twenty- five, giving the committee a little time itself for rest and recreation. This year for them it was all work and no play. The ladies' races were the most ex- citing incidents of the day. Several serious falls resulted because of the necessity of running on the grass. The distinction between running and walk- ing was hard to determine. The 3- frame bowling test enabled every lady to have a try for the handsome prizes, but is a poor indication of skill. The same fault was found by the sterner sex, and winning became a matter of ex- ceptional skill or luck. With so large a competition, however, full games are impossible. F. H. Traendly, of the fat men, had to lower his colors the first time in years, and Louis Schmutz also was forced to take back water from Einsman on the large family question. All things considered, the outing will be a pleasant memory for years to come and the harmony of the occasion es- pecially commends it. Miss Grunig, with the Fleischraan HENRY M. ROBINSON & CO.

But ho was careful to add that a few davs of bad weather in au- tumn may change tlie whole aspect of things. J. n. Walter, president of Stunipp & Walter Co., New York, with his family, is rusticating at a Maine resort. Maurice Fuld, formerly manager fo^ W. W.

HuTCHixs, whose special hobby is tlie sweet pea and who has recently made his home in California, will return to New Haven, Conn., to reside. TEXAS FIRMS CONSOLIDATE. Through a combination of two Dallas houses, Texas now has a concern that expects to handle an annual business of $700,000 to $800,000 in seeds and plants. The amalgamation of interests in- volves the Texas Seed & Floral Co. and the Robinson Seed & Plant Co. and became operative July 1. The change was brought about through the reorganization of the Texas Seed & Floral Co., with a capital of $100,000, the officers being: President, K. Nich- olson; vice-president, E. 1'. Brown; sec- retary and treasurer, C. 'W. Robinson. Mr. Robinson formerly was president and Mr. Brown vice-president of the Robinson Seed & Plant Co.. which was established in 1873 and now loses its identity in the larger concern. The first thing the new corjwration •will do is to erect a four-story brick •warehouse at Hawkins street and Pacific avenue, Dallas, where headquar- ters will be made. 'Sir. Robinson is authority for the statement that the combined businesses represent a volume of from $700,000 to $800,000. BOSTON'S NEW FIRM. The big new Boston seed house, formed bv merging the businesses oi W. W. Rawson & Co., H. K. Fiske Seed Co. and Schlegel & Fottler Co., will have H. E. Fiske as general manager. John Fottler, late of the Schlegel & Fottler Co., will be president, and W. C. Briggs, formerly treasurer of the H. E. Fiske Seed Co., will act as secretary-treasurer. The building now occupied by the H. E. Fiske See4 Co. will be used by the new firm. It •n^asfor years, and prior to the fire a few years ago, occupied by W. W. Rawson & Co. 'Herbert W. Rawson will not be ac- tively interested in the new firm, and Maurice Fuld, late manager for Rawson & Co., will not be connected with it; neither will A. F. Barney and J. M. Gleason, the other much respected mem- bers of the Schlegel & Fottler Co., who. it is rumored, may start on their own account. The new amalgamated firm will have convenient and centrally located quarters right in the heart of the seed district, and will control a large volume of business. W. N. Craig. PEAS AND BEANS.

On the whole, there is no donht that there will be a great shortage of earlies. notwitljetanding that many of the grow ers feel that the Alaska erojis are safelv made. It is yet too early to give aiiv estimate of the late sorts, although the general opinion is that they have snt fered from lack of rains much more than the earlies. In some cases it is thought that rain may yet come in time to assist in making the late varie- ties pan out well. Beans thus faf are looking well. The stand is excellent, in general, but there is a long season yet and it may or mav not be favorable.

It may be that imme- diate rain will help these late plantings in some cases, but the outlook is not en- couraging. Here and there we get re- ports that are optimistic, but in gen- eral the opinion is that the onion set crop at Chicago will be decidedly light. There are more acres planted here than ever before, but even at that the har- vest will fall far short of last year. At Louisville and in other sections the outlook is better, as there have been more favorable conditions at critical periods. Keports from these other sec- tions, however, incline to the idea that the product of the fields will be below normal. CATALOGUE SEASON AGAIN. Once more the seedsman finds himself confronted by the necessity of making a start on that great and expensive task, the general catalogue. Time was that this work was left till autumn, but experience has shown the wisdom of an early start, and nowadays the large houses get at the general catalogue as soon as the bulb books are finished; at least the general character of the book is determined and photographs are made for such new illustrations as are needed. Probably there is no mail-order seeds- man who would not like to cut down on the cost of his catalogue, but instead the cost keeps going up.

It is possible that a seedsman may be misjudged by the appearance of his book, but that he is so judged most of them recognize. The idea was put into words by Bessie M. Ruppert, a well- known florist and dahlia Specialist, in a letter she wrote recently to the Mc- Farland people: "I rather judge most others by myself in catalogue matters," she said. "When I receive a poorly printed catalogue upon poor, trashy pa- per, I never give it a second thought — seldom more than glance through it. But, on the other hand, if it is well printed and on good paper, I always lay it aside for the time when I can give it my attention — I always go through it from cover to cover, reading what happens to be of interest to me. The man who sends it is the man who gets my order if I need anything in his line." THE FBEE SEEDS. J. C. Eobinson, who has just com- pleted a year's work as president of the American Seed Trade Association, despairs of ever stopping the free seed evil through the efforts of the seeds- men themselves, but hopes public senti- ment will accomplish what those who have an interest in the issue cannot. In his address at Atlantic City, President Robinson had this to say of free seeds: "The free seed evil shows no signs of abatement; in fact, it shows an ever increasing output. Just why the seed trade should be selected to meet gov- ernment competition of free seeds is hard to tell. The Agricultural Depart- ment was organized to benefit the peo- ple.

[The paragraph requiring sealed envelopes to be of transparent ])aper.] The only effective way of com- bating this evil is to lay the ax at the root, the congressman himself, and show him the error of his ways. The time will come when this free seed distribu- tion of common varieties will cease, but it will not be through a direct fight of the seedsman, as he will always be accused of self-interest in his efforts."

A BED OF PANSIES. As I intend to put in a pansy bed in a few weeks, I should like to ask you a few questions on the subject. I want to make coldframes six feet wide and thirty feet long. How far apart should my plants be set to make good, stocky plants? How many seeds ought I to purchase to make plants enough to fill this bed? Our soil here in Illinois is a rich, black, heavy loam, with scarcely any sand in it. What could I add to the soil to made it an ideal pansy soil? H. A. E. Allow the plants three inches apart each way in the frame, which would give you space for nearly 3,000 plants. One ounce of good quality seed should give you a sufficient number of plants, provided they are carefully sown and properly treated. An addition of rotted horse manure, sand and some leaf-mold, a year old and only partially decayed, would lighten your soil and much im- prove it for pansies. They like a light, but tolerably rich and porous soil. W. C. NAME OF PLANT. We are sending under separate cover a bloom and leaf of a plant that one of our customers brought to us to get the name. He says this plant has no bulb and that he got it in Kochester, N. Y., twenty years ago. He has shown it to florists all over the country and they do not know what it is. In his descrip- tion he said it had a stem that stood out of the pot about four inches and the leaves broke from the top. I showed him a crinum and he said it grew like that, but that the stem did not get larger at the bottom, being practically the same size all the way down. It usually blooms in February and never dies down or rests like amaryllis. They propagate from it in the following manner: It throws out shoots from the stem, like a Sansevieria Zeylanica, and when the shoot comes up at the side of the pot they cut it off a short distance ' CINERARIAS RAWSON'S BEAUTY CINERARIAS, both tall and dwarf, every plant a prize winner; trade package, $1.00. ^ W.

Will you please tell me the trouble with my cukes? When they are only half grown they turn yellow at the stem and commence to ripen. If any are green when picked, they get yellow after a couple of days. Is there any- thing that can be done to make cukes a dark green? j, l. P. It is hard to tell what the trouble is without seeing one of the cukes, but I am of the opinion that you have a poor variety. A cucumber that has black thorns on it instead of white will turn yellow every time before becoming large enough to make a good cuke. Many of the pickling varieties are of the black-spine type. The best of cukes will sometimes turn yellow if the plants are sickly, but they usually get all twisted up and worthless at the same time. Plenty of rich soil, fertilizer and wa- ter will keep the color of the cukes good if the plants are healthy and of good varieties. jj q. Vegetable Plants Cabbace.

It is reported from Paris that the extension of the French parcels post privileges to the shipment of cut flow- ers has so stimulated the trade, which has increased in value from $57,000,- 000 in 1892 to $77,000,000 in 1909, that a technical board of horticulture has been created and attached to the French department of agriculture. An earnest attempt will be made to co- ordinate the individual efforts of the numerous horticultural societies and syndicates, and of the transportation companies, technical experts, inventors / and other agencies interested in the matter, and thus establish greater unity and cooperation among all who are in any way connected with the production and traffic in plants and flowers.

Mr. Adams, of this company, who is one of the ])ioiieer rose growers of Colorado and Utah, is planting more and more roses and cutting good crops. Walter W. King has been rushed with some big funeral work lately, in addi- tion to wedding work and other decora- tions. The Huddart Floral Co., the Morris Floral Co. and all the stores seem to have had their full share of business, as all seem to be well satisfied with the season now closing, and nearly every- body is figuring out the camping and fishing trips for the dull, hot weeks now beginning.

UNITED STATES NURSI^Y LANDS. [A paper by W. H. Stark, of / Louisiana, Mo., reaU at the thlrty-flftli annu^ convention of the American Association of / Nurserymen, at Denver, June 8 to 10, 1910.] There are three fundamental factors which are the source of all wealth pro- duced: First, land; second, labor; third, capital. They can not be separ- ated, and what influences one affects the others. Some individuals go so far as to say there is but one basic factor, and that is land. Although this is not so, land is of great importance, espe- cially to the nurseryman, and it has become a more vital question of his suc- cess each year. The conditions are changing rapidly. The free govern- ment lands are practically exhausted, and real estate is rising in value by leaps and bounds. All of this reacts on the other two factors, labor and capital, as they are influenced decidedly by de- velopment and the increasing land values. The nurserymen of today should own or control most of their land. The suc- cessful nurseryman of tomorrow must own his land. There was a time in the past when the business could be carried on successfully by renting and thus get- ting new and fresh fields for each crop, but the fields have lost much of their original fertility, and circumstances are different. Commodore W. K. Vanderbilt stated that a corporation can not afford to owu land, but should lease everything anA keep its capital spread out as much as possible, constantly turning it over and over. The commodore founded the old school of railroaders whose slogan was, "The public be damned!" That time is past, and the railroads are finding that another policy is necessary, and, likewise, the commodore's views on leasing land do not hold for present-day conditions. Advantages of Owning the Land. "You must buy land" — I might have used that for my subject, instead of "United States Nursery Lands," but I did not want to be mistaken at the start for one of the western real estate agents, spme of whom will sell the un- suspecting tenderfoot anything from a granite mountain peak to a patch of saline sage brush. But, whether you buy your land from the old settler or the real estate agent, it is necessary that you own or control it. To beat competition in the open market, to meet fluctuating conditions, to establish a permanent trade, to specialize in the line of propagation best suited to your conditions and eliminate as many of the SPIRAEA Snow Ball, Berberry and other fine shrubs stock of unusual quality.

When land was cheap and abundant many of the disadvantages of renting could be overlooked, but now it is scarce and high. You can not lease land with roads and ditches laid out, and properly tiled to suit nursery work. The question of tiling alone is highly important. It is not only necessary for wet, sour land, but beneficial to well drained land, as it disposes of surplus soil water in less time, thereby length ening the growing season and also in- creasing the effectiveness of fertility in the soil, both of which are of special importance in the costly cultivation of trees. Whether a field is productive or not, the cost of the growing of a block of trees on it is the same. I have in mind two adjoining fields. One has been leased to various tenants for some years; the other has been carefully farmed and fertilized since the timber was cleared. The latter will produce fifty per cent more in the way of farm crops, and in nursery stock it will yield The United States Nursery CH Roseaeres, Coahoma Co.« MISS.

The Weekly Florists' Review. 47 a block which is worth some hundreds of dollars more per acre. A great deal of profit is lost by planting on unsuit- able land. But you can not afford to heavily fertilize a rented field and leave most of the lime, phosphate and other elements in the ground for the next renter. Neither is it highly practicable to lease land several years ahead and grow clover, cow peas or other green manures, although many heavy fertil- izer bills can be saved in this way. While not wishing to be too personal, I have in mind an illustration, a model plant of its kind for permanency, where there is concentration and where money is invested generously in tiling and fer- tilizing, namely, our modest friends, the Storrs & Harrison Co., of Painesville, O. You should own the land in order to keep it in a high state of fertility, which will grow the old-time virgin crops and make the heavy cost of prop- agation a profitable investment. The production of any crop which calls for intensive methods is not profitable ex- cept where all conditions are most fa- vorable. It might be quite profitable to raise sheep on $10-an-acre land, for they do most of the work themselves, but it would be a losing proposition if you tried to grow corn. Scattered Blocks of Trees. The rapidly changing conditions, the building up of cities, the subdividing of farms, the rise in value of farm crops, all make it more necessary each season for the nurseryman to own his land. It is expensive trying to work several blocks of trees scattered over half a dozi^n counties. For example: Say the cosjk of hauling men to a field three miles'^distant is 10 cents for each man per day. His time, allowing one hour for the six miles going and com- ing, is worth at least 15 cents. This mankes a cost of 25 cents per day for each man necessary to work a field three miles distant, which will amount to $15 or $20 in a season. For each man necessary to do the season's work it would be cheaper to pay $15 more for a piece of land close at hand, but no better in any other respect. This does not take into account other savings, such as hauling stock to the packing house, nor losses due to poor stands be- cause of inefficiency of working at long range. You will all agree that long ex- perience has proven it very expensive to work scattered blocks of trees. To centralize a plant, it is necessary either to buy a large tract outright or gradu- ally accumulate it, picking it up a field at a time.. Neither is it profitable to grow trees when prices are up and then drop out entirely when prices are low. Going from one place to another, with no per- manent headquarters, is not as profit- able as it was in the days of tree deal- ers. It costs more in time and money to establish a trade. The markets are stable, the demand surer. With the improved knowledge and better judg- ment of buyers, the nurseryman has a wider range in which to sell his stock. He can aflford to make more advertising investments for future business, and in building up an established trade. But to give a trade its full value the busi- ness must have something substantial to rest upon, and this want is supplied by investments in land and permanent improvements, sa that all of the finer details can be- perfected and methods improved each season.

Lily of the valley and wiiite roses were at a jireniiuin and in many cases carnations and sweet jjeas were resorted to. The j>assing of the fair graduates will put a quietus on business and summer prices will prevail. Vacation time is here and the "call of the wild" is heard by many of the florists after the strenuous season j^ist past. Stock is plentiful, carnations are in good supply and prices are lower; 7o cents per dozen is the retail price on all varieties. Sweet peas are numerous and of fine quality, and the best selling commodity on the market. Auratums, rubrums and lougiflorums are plentiful and move well. Green goods are un- usually scarce, especially the asparagus varieties. Roses are in normal supply, but are badly affected by mildew, which is the worst pest that the florists have to combat in this section. Various Notes. P.

The weather is warm again and busi- ness is about as quiet as one could well imagine. From appearances, all the good customers are rusticating out of town, and those who are left behind show but little desire to patronize the florists. However, I might add that funeral or- ders are in fair evidence and these are about all there are to mention. Flowers all show the return of the warm spell. Roses, especially, are flabby and of poor color. Carnations stand the heat bet- ter and, with the exception of a small showing of thrips on some of the red and deep pink sorts, are of good qual- ity. Good sweet peas are not plen- tiful, although there is an abundance of the short-stemmed flowers. Gladioli are the most popular flowers at this time.

GLADIOLI IN CALIFORNIA. The growing of gladioli in the neigh- borhood of San Francisco, for the mar- ket, has never been thoroughly tested and but few growers realize the money that is to bo made by properly handling this firticlc. Until a couple of years ago the public had not seen many of tlio newer varieties and, now that some of the kinds arc well known, the de- mand is greater than the visible supply. 'The old-fashioned garden sorts were well enough for decorative purposes and cheaji bouquets, but now even these have fallen into disrepute and are sel- dom seen. / The gladiolus, when welP-grown, is one of the most satisfactory flowers to handle, either for the grower or retail- er. It is a splendid keeper, has a good stem, mixes well with other flowers, can be used in almost any sort of spray or design, holds . its shape and substance well after being taken out of water and does not bruise easily in ship])ing. Such a lot of good points, coupled with its present popularity, make it one of our most valued hardy flowers. Separate colors are the best sellers, and at the best prices, although any of the stand- ard mixtures have up to this time given good satisfaction and proven to be money-makers. A few ideas regarding their growing in this latitude may not be amiss at this time. Gladioli will grow, multiply and blos- som in almost any soil, but to have the best results they should be planted in rather heavy ground, where the drain- age is good. Manure iised in close con- nection with the corms is not a good idea, as it has a tendency to cause rot- ting. They should be planted from four to five inches in depth and the ground should be kept well loosened on the surface. A few good soakings dur- ing their growing season and one or two more when they are flowering is about all the care they need. In this climate they multiply fast. When they have finished blooming, and before the rainy season commences, they should be dug. It is not a good plan to cut the plants down to the corm until they have completely dried, and if they are still green when dug they had better be given about six inches of stem and this should be allowed to dry and later broken off. Some sorts multiply much faster than others, and if the grower is careful he will take off all the bulblets and plant them by themselves, to grow on. Cutting off the flowers tends to weaken the corms to a great extent, and if the grower wishes to increase his stock of any particular variety he should allow the flower to die on the stem. When dug they should be put ROSE PLANTS Fine, Clean, Strong Stock, from 2>^ in.

Gladioli are easily grown from seed and will blossom the second year. The various varieties of Colvillei are of the easiest culture and increase rapidly. They will not stand quite as much water at the root as the larger flowered sorts and should never be kept in the ground over winter, unless they are in an extra well drained place. By mak- ing a succession of plantings and re- serving the late flowered sorts until the last, blossoms can be cut from May until November. Q. NEW BEDFORD, MASS. The Market. The usual summer dullness now pre- vails. Flowers are quite plentiful, but the demand is light. Carnations are still in fair condition, although the hot weather of the last few weeks has been rather hard on them. They bring about 50 cents per dozen, retail. Roses of fair quality are arriving, and bring from $1 to $1.50 per dozen. Sweet peas from outdoors are coming in now, and are quite good, especially the Spencer types, which retail at 50 cents per hundred. A few odds and ends of snapdragon, stocks, etc., are still seen, and they help considerably in funeral work. The de- mand for bedding plants is about over. It has been a good season, although vincas have been somewhat scarce. Stock in the fields is looking fine. Early closing is now the rule here. Various Notes. Wm. P. Peirce reports that funeral work was especially heavy Saturday, July 2. Mr. Peirce gave, free of charge, about 1,000 plants of geraniums, zinnias, marigolds, cosmos and Cobaea scandens to the home garden committee, for the benefit of children who were not able to buy plants. A. B. Hathaway is sending in some nice Countess Spencer sweet peas, which find a ready sale. S. S. Peckham will have an immense stock of mums for this season. He is still ■ bringing in some good geraniums and salvias. E. H. Chamberlain is showing some nice ferns for this time of the year. Julius Eositzsky, manager for Wm. P.

Home few weddings took place and boosted things ill that line. In adilition. one or two (oniiiieneeinents and funeral work helped to make .June as good as last year, and a little better with some. iSweet jieas are more than jjlentiful and are selling at any old price; they seem to be overdone this season, as a good many market gar.leners are growing thcin and are selling them for whatever thev can get, some even going as low as 7 cents per hundred. However, the hot weather is getting in its work and iu a few days they will be a thing of the past. Carnations are also overabundant and quality is poor. A No. 1 roses are scarce", but seconds are plentiful. Some few Golden Glow mums are coming in, but qualitv is nothing extra, although fairly good for this time of the year, and they sell fairly well. Green goods arc in good supply. Various Notes. The Kentucky Society of Florists will give its annual picnic and outing at Stower's Grove, on the Eighteenth street road, July 21. The committee in charge assures a good time to those who attend. C. M. Quirey has returned from a two weeks' vacation, visiting his home near Merganfield, Ky., and spending a few davs in Cincinnati, O. The rest did Mr Qiiirev a lot of good and he says he can now take care of the books for Jacob Schulz for another year. The establishment of Geo. Thompson, on the Taylorvillc road, was sold at auction last week, and bought by H. Kleinstarink, well known to the trade as a mum grower. Mr. Thompson wishes to settle in Seattle, Wash. Adam Heitz has finished putting con- crete borders throughout his place and will replant his rose house with Brides, Maids, Gates and a few My Marylands. Wm. Walker has gone to Blue Rock, Ky to spend a two weeks' vacation. Jacob Schulz is putting in a new icebox at his store. This will be one of the neatest boxes in town when com^ pleted The sides and front will be ot plate glass with mitered corners. It will be finished in white enamel with mirrors affront and sides; the inside will be lined with white tile with three mirrors in the back, and glass shelves will be used, supported by nickebplated brackets. ^- ^- 2.^^10 Discount on Bedding Plants for Stock For the next 10 days we will allow a diBcount of 20 per cent on any of the following plants except feme and cyclamen.

JOHNSTON HEATING CO. 131 East 26th Street, NEW YORK Mention The Review when you write. which would not be satisfactory in op- eration, we thought we would submit the idea for your criticism. The pipe used for the hot water coils in the heater will be li/4-inch standard black pipe, with branch tees attached. The top of the furnace is to consist of an iron plate surmounted by an iron cap, forming a hot air chamber six inches deep and the entire width of the fur- nace. From the outside a pipe will convey cold air to this and another pipe will carry it to the sleeping room of the fireman, while still another pipe will draw the cold air from the sleeping room and admit it to the furnace room. From there all heated air will be per- mitted to rise and pass into the green- house, as the furnace room will extend two feet inside the north end of the greenhouse and the top of the furnace room will be two feet higher thati the ■floor of the greenhouse, thus giving free circulation of air down into the furnace room and out into the greenhouse. The air coming in from the outside will tend to keep the air in the sleeping room dry and fresh, thus preventing the usual trouble in sleeping rooms connected with greenhouses, and the fresh air will then pass on into the greenhouse. Please give us your opinion of the practicability of this plan and state whether it will pay. Also tell us what percentage of the total heat units will be furnished by the hot air from the furnace and what percentage by the water heater. Will it be better to make the walls of brick or of solid cement? What part should be firebrick? What size should the cold air and hot air Sipes leading to the hot air chamber e? Any other information or recom- mendations will be thankfully received. 'C. & B. While a combination heater, as de- scribed, might be arranged to heat a living room with hot air, it would not be advisable to use the hot air for heat- ing the greenhouse.

If hot air is to be carried to the sleeping room, 8-inc'h flow and return pipes should be used. The hot air com- bination will lessen the efficiency of the hot water portion of the heater, and will not have more than ten per cent of its efficiency. It will be best to use brick to cover the boiler, and the sides of the firepot for a distance of a foot above the fuel should be of firebrick. THREE CONNECTED HOUSES. I should like to get some information with regard to the heating of a small range of greenhouses, here in north- western Oregon. There are three con- nected houses, running north and south, with the boiler at the south end of the middle house. House No. 1. the east house, is 16x50, five and a half feet to the eaves and eleven and a half feet to the ridge, with eighteen inches of glass in the east wall. House No. 2, the middle house, is 16x35 and the same height as house No. 1. House No. 3, the west house, is 8x50 and three and a half feet to the eaves, with twelve inches of glass in the west wall. The temperature required is from 55 to 65 degrees. The outside temperature here seldom goes as low as zero. Please give me some information, also, about the construction of a coil boiler. My present piping and co^l are inadequate. F. M. D. To give a temperature of 65 degrees when the thermometer stands at zero will require for house No. 1 (16x50 feet, with eighteen inches of glass in the east wall) three 2i/^-inch flow pipes and eight 2-inch returns. In house No. 2 the same number of flows and seven re- turns would suffice. House No. 3 should have one 2i/.-inch flow and five 2-inch returns. In the wider houses carry one flow pipe two feet under the ridge and another on each plate. The returns can be distributed under the benches. As a rule, coil boilers do not last as long as standard greenhouse boilers, and are less satisfactory. ClintonvlUe, O. — Milo Conklin is suc- cessor to Conklin Bros.

Another busy season has just closed and apparently nearly everybody is well cleaned out, which is a good indication of heavy sales. The season, although retarded by the weather, has stretched out and to a great extent made the heavy work easier. In the store line, business was reported slow at times during the month, but there were sev- eral weddings and the usual gradua- tions, which used a lot of flowers. Stock has been plentiful, especially outdoor peas, which flooded the market last week. The stores presented pretty pic- tures this month, being banked with flowers, which were abundant and low in price. Various Notes. Greenhouse men are busy just now preparing and planting mum stock. The greenhouses of Byrne Bros., situ- ated at Williamsville, have lately been purchased by L. H. Neubeck, of Buffalo. Mr. Neubeck has been badly handi- capped by the lack of room at Main and High streets, and this latest addi- tion will enable him to grow the bulk of his plant stock. E. A. S. ROCHESTER, N. Y. The retail trade during the last two weeks has been reasonably satisfactory, and an improvement over conditions that prevailed in the early part of June. The supply of flowers has been ample, but no surpluses are reported. Vick & Hill Co. reports recently fill- ing an order for 25,000 ferns in variety. James Vick's Sons are putting in nearly forty acres of aster plants for seeds only, as this firm does not handle cut flowers. Visitors at the S. A. F. convention should plan to spend a little time at the aster fields. Space for the trade exhibit of the S. A. F. has been practically sold, and Supt. C. H. Vick says convention hall ought to be made larger for this ex- hibit.

From Tuesday, June 2S. till Saturday at midnight, we ex|)erieiu-ed the hottest weather ever recorded at the local weather bureau, and with it came the falling off of business and the shorten- ing up of receipts. Stock, which up to a short time ago held up fairly well, soon degraded to such an extent that it does not now j)ay for the trouble of picking, packing, etc. During the last few days in June there were numerous weddings, but from now on funeral work will be tlie long suit. Where there is no moans of watering, outdoor vegetation is suffering badly for lack of rain; from every direction comes the complaint that outdoor stock will come to naught if the dry spell continues much longer. Various Notes. Fred W. Holton and family and their guests, Fred Holton and a son in law from Vermont, took to the nearby lakes Wednesday, June 29, and have not been heard from since. It is expected that they will return about July 13. C. ('. Pollworth and family will return about July 9 from their annual fishing trip which they are spending at the northern boundary of this state. Mr. and Mrs. Aug. F. Kellner spent the first five days of this month at their summer home at Okanchee lake enter- taining friends from Chicago. At the Fox Point Floral Co., out on the Port Washington road, they at^ busy erecting two new greenhouses to be utilized for pot plants and cut flow- ers. In bedding stock, they ran short on Jean Viaud geraniums, for which there was a greater demand than ever before. With the exception of a few petunias and coleus, they are completely sold out.

Trade has finally slackened down to the midsummer basis and there is little doing now outside of some funeral work and a wedding now and then. Stock lias suffered greatly from the extremely liot weather of the last few weeks and roses are exceedingly poor, although there is quite a large supply. Carnations are still quite plentiful, but quality has fallen down greatly in the last few days, while sweet peas are a glut on the market and there are thousands of them that cannot be moved at any price. Some Augusta gladioli are still to be had of house grown stock and they move fairly well. Valley is rather scarce, but demand is light on them since the bulk of the weddings are over. Various Notes. The Columbus exposition, which is being held at the state fair grounds, has created a good demand for deco- rative plants for booths, etc. The Florists' Club picnic takes place July 20, at Buckeye Lake, and the indi- cations are that there will be a record- breaking crowd.

Electric Hose ^=^====i CORRUGATED) In the last few years our sales to florists have increased faster than the sales of any other hose ever made. There can be only one reason. Florists don't create such records for any manufactured article unless it is to their advantage to do so. If you haven't tried Electric Hose, you'd better have some put in the greenhouse. Both economy and increased efficiency will result. Electric Hose & Rubber Co. Wilminsrton, Del., U. S. A. Mention The Review when you write. CINCINNATI. The Market. Business continues dull. The buyers are listless and seem more or less dis- couraged, although prices are so low that they ought to be tempted. As soon as strictly summer flowers, with better keeping qualities, arrive plentifully, things are expected to pick up, for re- tailers will then be more careful to have good displays. Nearly all the longer roses of good qualit}- sell fairly well, but the prices are low. Beauties are an exception. In these the medium ones sell more readily than the long. Wiiite, Enchantress and Rose-pink Enchantress carnations hold up their quality surprisingly well, but are in request only for work, and little at that. The longiflorums, lily of the valley and gladioli are good. Early as- ters can be had everywhere. Stokesia is now offered. Feverfew and candy- tuft have accumulated and find a slow market. The supply of green goods is suffi- cient to meet all demands. Ferns are longer and harder and consequently keep well. The length of time the southern plumosus is on the road tells on the quality, for when some consign- ments arrive they are heated and soft. On Saturday business was almost at a standstill in the Jabez Elliott Flower Market. Many belated geraniums, espe- cially, were offered, but few were sold. Some cuts were, however, disposed of. The usual throngs of visitors, who come to see but not to buy, were not in evi- dence. Various Notes. The annual meeting of the Florists' Society M-ill be held at Gus Adrian 's home on Monday, July 11. L. H. Kyrk is now offering cornflower asters, or stokesia. Mr. Kyrk's sweet peas are excellent. George & Allan are sending excellent longiflorums to C. E. Critchell's. Louis Murphy has purchased Ray Murphy's interest in their greenhouses and will run the plant in his own name. Bay will now assist his father, William Murphy, at the wholesale store. The Murphy family held their annual re- union and celebrated William Murphy's birthday anniversary at St. Joseph, on the Ohio river. William Gardner came down last Sat- urday evening to take his wife and baby with him to New Castle. They will maI-» their hoir:> tbere, in the resi- S.

An exceptionally high grade hose manufactured with a woven jacket insertion instead of cotton duck, and with specially selected rubber in the inner tube and cover. The woven jacket constructbn makes a stronger hose than can be obtained from cotton duck, and absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on cotton duck. ' This constmction also gives a more flexible hose and reduces the possibility of kinking.- ' "Magic" Hose is guaranteed to stand a pressure of 500 pounds per square inch, although its bursting pressure is far in excess ot this.

Arthur Becker, of the Avondale Flo- ral Co., and Arthur Landherr will leave for an extended trip through the far west July 8. They will visit Mr. Beck- er's brother in Los Angeles, call at the Pacific seaboard cities, and finally come through the northern part of the United States to Chicago, where they will spend a short time with a cousin. R. Witterstaetter has finished his agricultural pursuits and is now plant- ing his mum section. Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Gillett have planned to leave for Traverse City July 16, to spend a few weeks. Charles Brunner is the latest addition, among the local florists, to the ranks of auto enthusiasts. He has purchased a Buick. Miss Cora Pherson, at William Mur phy's, has returned from her trip to New Orleans. She says the weather there is cooler and more pleasant than it is here. While in the Gulf coast metropolis she called on the trade. A card from Miss Ada Kresken states that she is now in Strausberg. She is delighted with the picturesque German cities and villages. G. F. Moore, of Rushville, Ind., was a recent visitor. Remember the florists' outing and picnic at the Country Club, Carthage, July 23. C. H. H. Belle Plalne, la.— Mrs. S. Woodruff, proprietor of the Belle Plaine Green- houses, began her career as a florist two years ago by building a small green- house, which at first was intended for pleasure more than for profit. The business grew, however, to such an ex- tent that she is now building a green- house more than five times as large as the first one. 'The new house is modern in every way.

PHILADELPHIA, PA. 68 The Weekly Florists' Review. July 1910. INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. Business is beginning to show the summer attitude. The last Wednesday of June brought forth the usual number of weddings, but large decorations were missing. There was considerable funeral work in the first part of the week, but absolutely "nothing doing" since. Not- withstanding the dullness in the market, prices hold their own. At the present time there is no com- mission house in Indianapolis, all flow- ers being shipped from Chicago, New Castle or Cincinnati. I believe there is a chance for a good, live man to step in here and make good with a commission house. Indianapolis is a good railroad center, better even than Cincinnati, and no trouble should be experienced in shipping facilities. Various Notes. The north side florists are planning a picnic for next month. Clarence Thomas, with Bertermann Bros., has gone to the lakes for two weeks' vacation. John Heidenreich is the possessor of two pleasure autos. Most of us are tickled to death to have one. John A. Rieman has moved to his summer home, north of Broad Ripple. The flower show committee is rapidly shaping things for the coming show. The premium list was mailed last week. Anyone who has not received a copy can obtain one from Secretary Baur. The finance committee reports many sub- stantial subscriptions. The outlook is for a successful show. Mr. and Mrs. Homer Wiegand are going to motor to the Elks' convention at Detroit next week. Last week Bertermann Bros., John A. Rieman and Alfred Brandt were the victims of some would-be joker. They each had an order for a bride 's bouquet for the same person, who, as they found on delivery of the flowers, was not to be married and did not know anything about the flowers. E. A. Nelson has about fifty loads of leaf-mold, the result of a collection of leaves which he has had piled up in his back lot for about five years. The Roepke & Rieman Co. experi- enced considerable trouble with their water plant during the recent dry spell. Their pump was out of order, and they were without water for several days. Harry Jones, with the Jones-Russell Co., of Cleveland, O., spent several days with George Wiegand this week. Meyer Heller was in the city last week, coming over on the new Interur- ban line with a party of New Castle boosters. H. L. W.

A House 72 Feet Wide A couple of weeks ago we showed you a house 60 feet wide having but two columns, and now, true to our promise made then, here is a " 72 footer" with only four columns. Two of these are of angle iron, joined ba< k to back, making a support that is much lighter in appearance than a pipe column its equal in strength. The side columns are 2-inch pipe. The steel truss stiffens the long span of the frame between the angle iron columns. No network of trussing, however, is necessary between the iron raf^rs.

Please inform dip as to what will keep red spider off < urnations. T. H. J. Usually the only thing needed to keep down red spider is a good strong spray of clear water, applied with all the pressure at hand. In case they get the upper hand, more drastic measures must be resorted to. Of these, perhaps the best is a weak solution of brine, sprayed on the plants with a fine nozzle. Use about a 2-inch potful of common table salt to three gallons of water. This will not injure the most tender growth and will at the same time destroy the spider with a few applications. Put it on in the early morning, and later wash it off by syringing the plants with clear water, shooting it against the plants as hard as you can. Repeat this every other day, as often as may seem necessary to clean off the plants. In the field the pest is not so easy to handle. You can apply the brine early in the morning, but it is not so easy to wash it off, if you have a large patch to go over. In the absence of rain you must resort to the hose, re- gardless of the work it may entail. Some growers use a soap solution, but I prefer the brine. We have found it more effective, and less liable to injure the growth when tender. A. F. J. B. SOME ENGLISH MALMAISONS. Carnations with stems five feet long and blooms seven inches across, with the plants selling at $2.50 each, are re- ported by Montagu C. Allwood — but they are Malmaison carnations, which thrive exceedingly well in England, but will not do so here. Mr. Allwood is widely known as a carnation specialist. He is in the employ of Stuart Low & Co., a corner of whose block of Mal- maison houses is shown in the ac- companying illustration. "In sending the photograph," says Mr. Allwood, "I do not do so because this section of the large family of dianthus has any .particular interest to our American friends, seeing it has been proved beyond doubt that your climate in summer is far too hot for the plant and thus they have no commer- cial value in America, but because I think that we, who are so deeply in- terested in the perpetual or American carnation and its future developments, can at least obtain some food for reflec- tion from the Malmaison. For instance. in this section there are several shades of color with a commercial value, which we have not at present in the perpetual carnation. This, in itself, should be an inspiration to the raisers. "In the foreground of the photo- graph is one of our new seedling Mal- maisons, Irene. The flowers of this average six and one-half inches across, and quite fifty per cent have sound calyxes. Of course, Malmaisons only bloom in the spring and summer of the year and are looked upon by all as a dying plant; yet I venture to think that to obtain this size in one section of the family proves, to a certain de- gree, the possibilities which lie within the other. Not that I think it would enhance the beauty or value of the per- petual carnation to be so abnormally developed, yet perhaps it is a glimpse into the future, for good or for ill. "In the background of the photo- graph can be seen some Malmaisons with very long stems. These average five feet in length and are perfectly rigid. We have cut flowers measuring over seven inches across, with per- fectly sound calyxes. In fact, this variety never splits, and when we first sent it out we sold the young plants at 10 shillings ($2.50) each. This looks like knocking the Beauty growers for length of stem, and the orchid growers for price." PINCHING WARD CARNATIONS. I should be glad if the editor or any reader of The Review would give us a little advice regarding pinching plants of Alma Ward and Mrs. C. W. Ward carnations. We have a fine batch of some that never have been stopped at all as yet. What results may we ex- pect? Is this latter a good method of growing these varieties? S. J. Both Alma Ward and Mrs. C. W. Ward carnations will stand considera- ble pinching. We always plan, how- ever, to have our plants in shape so that they will not have to be topped after August 15. S. J. would have got better results had he topped his plants in the earlier stages of their growth. Cottage Gardens Co., Inc.

In these days, when the use of auto mobiles for delivery is becoming more and more common in tlie trade, it may be inferred that columns of figures, rep- resenting the prices of machines and the cost of running them, are more in- teresting to many florists than love sto- ries are to the sentimental youth or the baseball scores to the lover of manly sports. Opinions as to the cost of this sort of delivery vary considerably, of course, for the differences in the ma- chines, methods, circumstances and con- ditions all have their effect on the ex- pense account. H. F. Littlefield, of Worcester, Mass , recently became the owner of an auto- mobile, a photograph of which is here reproduced. This machine was made by the Autocar Co., of Ardmore, Pa. Mr. Littlefield makes the following state- ment with reference to the cost of run- ning it: "We have not yet had it long enough to give accurate information, but our estimate for a year is: Driver and boy, $1,200; gasoline, $250; tires, $500; de- preciation, $750; repairs, $100; interest on cost, $110; liability insurance, $50; fire insurance, $40; estimated total cost of running one year, $3,000. "The capacity of the machine is one ton; its speed, twenty-five miles an hour. It will do the work of three teams, as we have a large and scattered delivery. We find it very convenient." The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., of Philadelphia, is also using an autocar of the same make and the same capacity as Mr. Littlefield 's. A picture of the Pennock-Meehan car, with a brief de- scription of its equipments, appeared in The Review of February 24, page 14. AIB PLANT OR SEA MOSS. What is the nature of the so-called air plants that are so popular at the present timef Is there a real air plant that can be easily propagated? A. A. The air plant sold so largely by retail florists is frequently called sea moss, which is a better descriptive name, tliough the other is in line with the popular belief that the "plants" in the little baskets thrive on air. The moss comes originally from Japan, but it goes first to Germany, where it is pre- pared for market by dyeing and treat- ing with a glycerine preparation to per- petuate it — in reality to keep the air away. THE COOK STORE. • The accompanying illustration is re- produced from a photograph of the il- luminated store front of R. C. Cook, 120 Fourth street, Portland, Ore., and shows Mr. Cook sitting at his doorway. His is of the class of flower store which is multiplying most rapidly, and which is becoming a steadily increasing factor in the distribution of the cut flowers grown for city markets. EXPRESS CO. RESPONSIBLE. The writer does business as a whole sale commission dealer in a perishable commodity. A considerable shipping business is done and, in common with other houses in the same line, effort is made to avoid loss by attaching to all shipments a label stating the nature of the contents and the following "Notice to express companies: Should consignee refuse to accept shipment or fail to pay c. o. d., notify us at once by wire at our expense, stating reason why un- delivered, or if amount is less than $4 sell to best advantage." A certain c. o. d. shipment went out on the 11 a. ni. train on a Saturday to a city eighty miles distant in another state. On ar- rival the consignee was not prepared to pay c. 0. d. Apparently the express agent, either as a matter of accommo- dation to the consignee or otherwise, made subsequent unsuccessful attempts to deliver and collect. At any rate, telegraph notice of the failure of the consignee to take up the consignment was not sent until Sunday, reaching us at about noon. This, of course, was equivalent to Monday so far as con- cerns the ability to release the c. o. d. or turn the shipment over to some other customer in that city to be sold for our account. The stock spoiled; the loss was total. Now the question at issue is as to whether the express company is liable. We claim that the "at once" in our notice means just what it says, and that it does not mean sometime the next day, even were the next daV a full business day for the express com- pany and ourselves. Have the courts decided what ' ' at once ' ' means? Have ■X valid claim! K. B. C we The courts have had frequent occa- sion to decide as to the meaning of "at once." They hold that it is not to be construed with absolute literalness, be- cause it is impossible for a man to act literally at once or instantaneously upon the happening of any event in his business life. Accordingly, such terms as "forthwith," "immediately," "as soon as possible" and "at once" (all of which are held to be practically synonymous) are construed with refer- ence to the special occasion. The words mean, as the courts hold, that action is to be taken without unreasonable de- lay, all the circumstances of the case being considered. When perishable goods are sent out and the carrier un- dertakes, as in this case, to notify the shipper "at once" of the consignee's refusal to accept the goods, the car- rier's agent certainly has not time to make "subsequent unsuccessful at- tempts to deliver" before sending the notice. An act is not done at once if other unnecessary acts are allowed to intervene. The correspondent is en- titled to recover his loss of the express company. See 40 N. Y. Suppl., 8; 101 111., 621, and cases cited in the course of these decisions. — Journal of Com- merce. AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY.

The general average condition of crop growth in the United States July 1, 1910, was about 5.5 per cent lower than July 1, 1909, 3.8 per cent lower than July 1, 1908, and 3.4 per cent lower than the 10-year average condi- tion July 1. In the New England states conditions are 3.5 per cent better than a year ago and 4.1 per cent above the average. In the Southern states condi- tions are about 3.5 per cent better than July 1 a year ago and 2.4 above the 10-year average; in the North Central states, east of the Mississippi river, conditions are 8.7 per cent below a year ago and 4 per cent below the average; in the North Central states west of the Mississippi river, 15 per cent lower than a year ago and 12.2 per cent below the average; in the far western states, 3.6 per cent below a year ago and 4.3 per cent below the average.

In regard to the allegation, published in the United States some time since, that at Tientsin, China, tuberoses are grown of a red color, and perhaps of other shades, Consul-General Samuel S. Knabenshue makes the following re- port: "Some time since, this consulate re- ceived a letter from a florist in the United States, inclosing a sum of money with the request that he be furnished with its value in red tuberose bulbs. He stated that he had been informed by Store of R. C. Cook, Portland, Ore. a gentleman who had traveled in China that he had seen red tuberoses grown in Tientsin. "Inquiry was made of a German florist here, a resident for many years, who stated that there is no natural red tuberose, but that the flow- ers are artificially colored. As the tube- rose of the ordinary white variety is near flowering, the flower stalks are cut off close to the ground and are placed in water in which is dissolved a red earth, of whose composition he is ignorant. The coloring matter is drawn up into the flowers, tinting them red — the tirst that appear being very slightly tinged, but the color becoming more pronounced in those which open later. He also stated that the red color can be produced in this way by using ani- line colors, not only red, but any other aniline color which may be desired. Na- tive gardeners, however, insisted that natural red tuberoses were grown, but declined to sell bulbs of the alleged red variety with a guarantee that the bulbs would produce red flowers, the payment to be withheld until the bulbs were tested. "Finally a native gardener admitted that these are bulbs of the ordinary white tuberose, reared in ordinary flower pots, in this way: The opening in the bottom of the pot is closed with a cork; the pot is filled with earth mixed to a mud with water in which the coloring matter has been dissolved; the bulbs are planted in this after a number of small incisions have been made in the lower half of the bulb above the roots; a thin covering of un- colored earth is placed over the earth in the pot to conceal the colored por- tion below; and the plant is supplied with water in which the coloring mat- ter has been dissolved. The resulting flowers have the tint of the coloring matter used." St. Louis, Mo.— Geo. B.

Y., referring to a note on the York and Lancaster rose in The Review of June 23, ask that the statement of the correspondent to the effect that this rose "is not grown or sold any more in this country" be not taken too liter- ally. They say: "Dingee & Conard have repeatedly catalogued it, as have Conard & Jones. We got up a photo- engraving and also a colored plate of it several years ago and have continued to grow it since, and expect to continue to do so. It is very hardy and never is destroyed by winter weather. Our Mr. J. M. Charlton has a blooming hedge of it which absolutely takes care of itself, requiring but little attention, and it is a source of great delight when in flower. We know of no variety so well adapted for a permanent hedge as is York and Lancaster." Charlton & Sons send with their let- ter a copy of the colored plate re- ferred to, on which they describe York and Lancaster as "a most remarkable variety and the scarcest desirable rose in this country. It is, as we have proved it, entirely hardy and is a very free bloomer. It is of the Damask class, which is noted for fragrance and beauty.

A man here, who said he understood trimming, cut practically all of last year's growth off the roses on the lawn and there are only a few scattering roses on any of the larger bushes. Is this because of the way they were trimmed? The small bushes, which he did not cut back so much, have plenty [Continued on paere 21] JULY 14, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 9 FLOWERING TIME OF CATTLEYA. When is the blooming season for Cat- tleva Trianse? W. B. Cattleya Triante flowers from Janu- ary until the end of March, occasionally as early as Christmas and as late as the middle of April. On newly imported plants a crop is often to be had in June and July and a number of these are now in flower. C. W. THE CATTLEYA FLY. Can you supply me* with the exact life history of the cattleya fly and state the best means of destroying it? H. B. A. The cattleya fly, Isosoma orehidearum, lays its eggs in the eyes of the young growths of cattleyas, Iselias and some epidcndrums, as well as the bigeneric hybrids between these genera, when the plants are dormant, causing the growths to become stunted and much swollen. Such growths, when cut open, will be found to contain four to seven yellow- ish maggots. These, if left, soon eat out a considerable cavity, turn into pupae and later into perfect flies, which emerge and continue the work of de- struction. Some growers, not knowing the pest, flatter themselves on the fat, chunky growths their plants are mak- ing, discovering too late the terrible pest they have failed to destroy. Some- times, if there has been delay in cutting out the growths, the perfect flies them- selves will be discovered. The best, but at the same time most radical, remedy is to cut out the young growths directly after they appear swollen, and burn them. It seems cruel to go over a batch of plants and cut off quarts daily in this way, but if it is not done the plants might as well be destroyed. Early spring is the time when the pest is mostly in evidence and, in order to destroy any flies on the wing, fumigation with Nicoticide or some other strong nicotine extract twice a week should be resorted to. Sticky fly papers, stood here and there, will catch some. Hypodermic injections have been tried, but availed little. Roots, in addition to growths, are oc- casionally attacked, a warty growth re- sulting. C. labiata is the variety this fly usually comes on and a close inspection should be made of all new stock. All the labiata section, however, are liable to be attacked. Long bulbed varieties, f'uch as Harrisoniae, Bowringeana and intermedia, and such lajlias as elegans, purpurata, anceps and autumnalis I have had no fly on, although they are sometimes attacked. In fumigating I would not advise the use of hydrocyanic acid gas on cat- tleyas or any other orchids, as it will cause far more damage than the insects themselves. I have in mind one or two fine lots of cattleyas almost entirely ruined by it, though a moderate dose only was given, which would not have injured roses, carnations, violets or sweet peas. W. N. C. OEBMINATION OF COCOS SEED. Will you kindly inform me how to germinate successfully seeds of Cocos plumosa and other species having seeds of a like nature? I have had a quantity of them planted for nearly a year in flats three inches deep and covered with glasd. I have kept them in a warm, sunny greenhouse, but so far none of them have shown any symptoms of germinating. C. L. W. It is not unusual for Cocos plumosa seeds to occupy several months in germinating, but it would be impossible to say positively, without an examina- tion, whether the seeds in question are still good. In brief, the best method to use with these seeds is the same as is used for palm seeds in general; namely, to plant them in ordinary potting soil, in either flats, pans or the open bench, using a depth of three to four inches of soil and covering the seeds to a depth of from half an inch to one inch, according to the size of the seeds. Then place in a warm greenhouse, though not exposed to the full sun, and keep the soil moist but not sodden. A night temperature of 65 to 70 degrees should be maintained for the germination of these seeds. W. H. T. PHLOX TURNINQ YELLOW. Will you tell me why hardy phlox turn yellow and then seem to rot off at the roots? They were planted outdoors and have received the same treatment as other bedding plants, but I have lost half the row from this rot. A. F. C. Attacks of red spider often cause phlox to turn yellow. This is a hard pest to fight. Force of water, well di- rected through an upright spray noz- zle, which can be held below the foliage, is about the only remedy. It is possible this may not be the trouble, however, with your plants. Too deep planting will cause the stems to rot off, while planting in soil containing too much nitrogenous manure will also cause them to die. Sometimes borers get into the stems. They are hard to locate, and if present the best plan is to cut off and burn the stems. Larvae at the roots, especially those of the May beetle, are occasionally responsible for this yellow- ing of the shoots. C. W. FORMULA FOR PUTTY. A subscriber asks, on page 9 of the July 7 issue of The Review, how to make liquid putty. I make my own, of whiting, linseed oil and Japan drier, and find it equal to the "ready-for- use" kinds, and the cost is less. Sift best whiting (thoroughly dried) into the oil through a household flour sifter, or other sieve, and stir until stiff enough to stay on the bars without running. The amount of each depends on the temperature; better make it a little too stiff, for the Japan drier will thin it some. This makes a skin on the surface and should be added when the putty is to be used — quantity about one teaspoonful to each pint, or perhaps less, according to the quality of the drier and conditions of the weather; stir at once and use soon. W. E. P. GERANIUM FOLIAGE DYING. I am sending under separate cover two geranium leaves for your inspec- tion. The plants from which these were taken have been on a shelf near the top of a back wall of a lean to house and until a few days ago seemed per- fectly healthy. Now I notice a great many of the leaves turning like the samples sent. I have had carnations on a lower bench and have been troubled with red spider. I think this is probably one reason for the leaves dying, but should like to have your opinion and advice ill the matter. Kindly tell me the best thing to do for them. I have picked off all the badly affected leaves and removed the plants to a regular bench. The plants were rather close together on the shelf. Would that cause the trouble? F. W. D. The leaves forwarded showed unmis- takable signs of red spider. They have been growing in too hot and dry a po- sition. You did right in removing them to a bench. Pick off all badly affected foliage. Spread the plants out well. Use the hose freely among them and they will soon improve. Unless you are growing these plants for winter flower- ing, it would be your best plan to plant thorn outdoors, where they would make decidedly better growth and more cut- tings than if kept in pots.

That Begonia Corallina Lucerne is a plant of exceptional value to the trade is the opinion formed by William Bier- stadt & Son, Springfield, 111., as the re- sult of a rather extended experience with the variety. So well do they think of it that they have worked up what they believe to be the largest stock of this variety anywhere in the world, feeling sure that as soon as it becomes well known it will have a large and constant sale. The character of Begonia Corallina Lucerne is well shown in the accom- panying illustration, which is from a plant grown by Bierstadt & Son. The specimen is in a 12-inch pot and stands five feet high from the top of the pot, the diameter of the plant being some four feet. This specimen has ten clus- ters of fully developed flowers, with numerous other clusters in different stages of development. Each cluster is composed of from fifty to seventy in- dividual flowers, coral red in color. The leaves are olive green spotted with silver, and bright red beneath. It blooms continuously and freely from April to November, even small plants producing large clusters of bloom. _<<^'^^.'^r.\'<^.'^^;^'<^.'»V-^."^r»>'<^.^»^'fer»>'fef»>'fer»!)''yr^ I SEASONABLE I -^^^ SUGGESTIONS | I Seasonable Bepairs. Carnations and roses are now being thrown out and replanting is already well under way. Even at the hottest time of the year, the florist always finds plenty to do. There will be lots of bench building or repairing. With the increased use of cement, this latter will be less and less a factor each year. Indoor painting may be a necessity. It is hot work these torrid days, but cloths can be laid over the roof to make it more tolerable for the workmen. In winter, when some inside painting might be done, crops are in the way and the woodwork is moist from frost or con- densation half the time. Summer, there- fore, is the only time we can really do it satisfactorily. Repairing ventilators may be necessary. Do it now and, by the way, be sure that they are kept well oiled and greased, so that they will run easily. This is particularly neces- sary in houses where the ventilators are not self-oiling and up-to-date. It makes hard work for the employees when they are allowed to become dry. If you have not before found time to do it, clean up around the houses well. Do not leave any empty pots or flats lying around. Get rid of any scattering bedding plants, which no one will want now. Get rid of the weeds. Keep the lawns mowed and the grass edges trimmed. All this may not bring you in any money right away, but it will tell later. The majority of customers love neatness and prefer to patronize a well-kept establishment to one where they are perpetually dodging weeds, stones, loam heaps and sundry recep- tacles. Yes. it pays to be neat both in the greenhouses and outside, and the most prosperous florists, you will note, are always those who follow these principles. Outdoor Work. While houses are being emptied and refilled, it may be well during the hot- test hours of the day to call a brief halt on this work and give needed at- tention to outdoor operations. No mat- ter how hot and dry the weather, weeds will grow apace. Hand or horse culti- vation will take care of many of these, but not all. The hand hoe and weeder must be used among the plants not less than once in two weeks to keep them clean. The big weeds will need pulling by hand; smaller ones the hoe will ac- count for. It is not possible to culti- vate the ground too much these hot days. The more the soil is stirred, the better will the plants thrive, and espe- cially necessary is it to get over the soil after heavy rains, which bake the surface. Water the sweet peas if you would prolong their season in dry weather, and if you have them well mulched, as previously advised, they will stand a severe drought remarkably well. Be sure, however, to keep all seed pods removed. You may want to sow some seeds from your best delphiniums, foxgloves, lupines or other hardy plants. Sow the seeds at once and you will get nice plants before fall. Any seed pods not needed should be removed. In the case of delphiniums, this will insure a good second crop late in August. Unless your Japanese irises are in moist ground, water them well to im- prove the flowers and prolong the blooming season. Early asters are starting to flower. The black beetle attacks are generally worst in August. The best remedy is to spray with Paris green, an ounce to twelve gallons of water. This will not hurt the plants or discolor the flowers, but it will settle the beetles. Rose beetles are troublesome at this season. To protect roses, especially the white ones, a good plan is to use a few of the early flowering Hydrangea ar- borescens. The beetles will attack these and spare the roses. Hydrangea Arborescens. Every florist should plant some of the hardy early and perpetual blooming Hydrangea arborescens grandiflora. There have been several more Latin names tacked on by botanical experts, but the foregoing is sufficiently long for any ordinary grower. This hydran- gea does not winter-kill. It flowers from June until frost. The flowers are pure Begonia Corallina Lucerne. July 14, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review* 11 white, excellent on the plant, for use in vases on long stems or in floral designs. The plant propagates readily from soft- wood cuttings and we have five-year-old plants now carrying seventy-five to eighty-five heads of bloom in the open. Some of these are nine to ten inches in diameter. Where white flowers are wanted in summer, this is simply an in- valuable shrub to grow. It will trans- plant readily in either spring or fall, and in order to make it produce big heads, it should be pruned back each winter in the same way as H. panicu- lata. Brief Bemlnders. Cuttings of crassula, coccinea, show pelargonium, croton, dracsBna, panda- nus, allamanda, Ficus elastica and F. pandurata will root easily now. Be sure to keep the sand moist. The two first named require less moisture than the others. What about the coal supply? Did you remember to order it while prices were down? They are now advancing. Get your supply ordered and hauled, if not yet done. Cuttings of Lorraine begonias will soon root now and it is not too late to make nice 4-inch pot stock out of them. Have you remembered to order your bulb supply for the coming fall? If not, take advantage of one of these hot days, lay off an hour or two and make out your list. Spray chrysanthemums, gardenias, palms and other plants freely in hot weather. Use the hose twice a day also •on azaleas, camellias, genistas, ericas and other plants growing outdoors. Keep late propagated hydrangeas potted along. Give flowering plants an abundance of water. Shade from bright sunshine. Damp the floors and paths frequently in hot weather. It cools the houses, makes a better growing atmosphere and prevents attacks of thrips and spider. Order mignonette and winter bloom- ing sweet pea seed. It is rather too early to sow either of these yet. how- ever. ' CINCINNATI. The Market. Business as a whole has been de- cidedly dull for the last fortnight. The cuts from the plants grown for winter blooming, although in decreased supply, are still more or less of a glut on the market. All flowers, however, of real quality find a fair sale. Monday, July 11, the wholesale business was good, but we cannot tell at this writing whether the retailers were merely replenishing mu ^"PP^y o'* """ere buying for orders. The flowers grown or forced, for this season of the year, are good. Longiflorums and valley are excellent, and auratum '^ T "^ offered. Fine gladioli and asters find a ready sale, while water lilies are »sed extensively for window displays, ihe sweet peas do not hold up as they did a week or two ago. The supply of green goods is sufficient for all requests. On Saturday the business in the flower market was slow. No single variety of flowers was cleaned up, even at low prices. Club Meeting. The annual meeting of the Cincin- nati Florists' Society was held July 11 at the home of Gus Adrian in Clifton. The following officers were elected for Charles E. Critchell. • President Cincinnati Florist*' Society.) the ensuing year: President, C. E. Critchell; vice-president, William Mur- phy; secretary, Alex. Ostendarp; treas- urer, E. A. Forter; director, W. Green- smith. Routine business was then at- tended to. After adjournment the club sat down to dinner. Miss Jennie Adrian, Mr. and Mrs. Adrian's charming daughter, and Frank Voltz entertained with a number of instrumental and vocal selections. The members were unanimous in declaring Mr. and Mrs. Adrian most amiable and delightful host and hostess. Various Notes. ■"' J. A, Peterson and Clarence Peterson have returned from their trip, and both say they have received large orders for Begonia Glory of Cincinnati, P, O. Collentz, of New Madison, O., has begun to ship fine gladioli to C. E. Critchell. They will be arriving in quantity before long. A. Sunderbruch's Sons are cutting elegant valley and longiflorums. Sunday, July 10, William Murphy visited the various growers in the west- ern part of the city. He says their car- nations in the field and mums are in splendid condition. He is offering at his store good gladioli from local grow- ers. Graser & Humphreys, of Mt. Ster- ling, Ky., have a field of 12,000 early asters, the cut of which they will soon ship into the market. Weiland & Olinger are receiving their first auratum lilies of this season. P. J. Olinger took a run down to the green- houses at New Castle last week. Eay Murphy has joined the ranks of benedicts. July 5 he and Miss Florence Lauber, of Delhi, were married. R. A. Kelley has moved into his new storo, one door east of his old location. The building and store have been re- built and remodeled. His neat displays in the plate-glass and marble windows attract attention. J. William Eodgers has sold his greenhouse plant to W. H. Rutenschroer, who has occupied the place ever since Mr. Rodgers was first appointed super- intendent of parks in this city. The consideration is said to have been $7,500. William Meyers, on Central avenue, opposite the city hospital, has sold his store to Hauck Bros. Miss Bossmeyer, at C. E. Critchell 'a, and Miss Clara Kyrk, at J. M. McCul- lough's Sons, are on their vacations, while Miss Margaret Onstead, at E. G. Gillett's, is home sick with the mumps. Mrs. John Fries has gone to Martins- ville, Ind., to cure her rheumatism. We are pleased to hear that she is improv- ing rapidly. Mrs. Kirkpatrick, formerly of Rose- bank, is in the city looking for green- houses. J, T, Herdegen, of Aurora, Ind., was a visitor July 11.

W. Dudley & Sons, Parkers- burg, W. Va., died suddenly on Sunday evening, July 3, at his home in Dudley- ville. He had been in ill health for nearly three years, afflicted with a com- plication of diseases, but the greater part of the time he was able to attend to business, though in that time he rarely went downtown, as was his cus- tom before he became ill. Mr. Dudley was 69 years of age, and a native of Oswego county, New York. He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Lysander Dudley. The family removed to Parkersburg about 1852, and the father became prominent in the busi- ness affairs of the community, as a con- tractor, some of the larger and most important of the older buildings of the city having been constructed by him. J. W. Dudley, in his early manhood, devoted his energies to the establish- ment of a range of greenhouses. This business he made his life work, his father being associated with him. At the death of the latter his brother, Lysander, was connected with the enter- prise. Of late years the firm has been J. W. Dudley & Sons. The business has grown to large proportions, being prob- ably the most extensive of the kind in the state. Next to his love for flowers Mr. Dudley delighted in politics, always keeping in close touch with political affairs. He served two terms as sheriff, from 1891 to 1895 and from 1901 to 1905. He was married in 1862 to Miss Emma G* Leonard. Her death occurred April 15, 1903. The surviving children of this union are William Dudley, Charles P. Dudley, Mrs. Grace Shields, Miss Lou Dudley, Mrs. Lawrence O'Neil, Mrs. George D. Heaton, Mrs. Fred Woods, Mrs. F. C. Coffman, of Washington, Miss Elizabeth Dudley, Brainard and Albert Dudley. Mr. Dudley's second marriage oc- curred four years ago. His second wife, who was Mrs. Sallie Woods, daughter of Rev. Dr. Walker, a prominent clergy- man of Huntington, survives him. Mr. Dudley was a stanch and consist- ent member of the Baptist church, with which he had been afiiliated since early manhood, and of which he was a liberal supporter. He was devoted to his family, his home life being an ideal one. He was kind and generous to all, dispensing charity lavishly, but quietly and unostentatiously. The funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon, July 5, at the family residence, by Rev. W. E. Henry, of the First Baptist church. Thomas W. Dee. Thomas W. Dee, formerly a florist in Boston, died at his home, 223 Brattle street, Cambridge, Mass., July 2, at the age of 73 years. He had been in poor health for 'more than a year, but was not taken dangerously ill until Memo- rial day. The burial was in the old Mount Auburn Catholic cemetery, in the family lot where Mrs. Dee was buried in 1876. He was born May 27, 1837, in the Kittery navy yard, where his father was a commissioned officer. He at- tended Holy Cross College and later ^ attended Nicollette College, in Quebec. He was a fluent French scholar. He served an apprenticeship in the Charles- town navy yard, and at the outbreak of the Civil' war was appointed as as- sistant engineer in the navy, in the gunboat Coeur de Lion. He first went into the florists' business with John Galvin and later with William E. Doyle, under the firm name of Dee & Doyle, at the corner of Beacon and Tremont streets, Boston. Later he went into business with his brother, John Dee. He conducted as a separate business the great flower conservatories at Mount Auburn. He retired from active business on account of failing health eight years ago. He is survived by a STUMP AND ISMENE. Stump and Ismene. daughter. Mrs. J. H. Gearan, with whom he had lived for many years. J. W. H. Krumm. John W. H. Krumm, formerly a flo- rist, died July 1 at a hospital in St. Joseph. Mo., after an illness which had extended over a period of three years. He was -to years old. He is survived by four brothers. Casper W., of Kansas City, William F., of Goff, Kan., and Henry and Fred, of St. Joseph, and by two sisters, Mrs. Alfred Lenzelere and Mrs. Fi'ed Leucht, of St. Joseph. How a little ingenuity will transform an unsightly object into a thing of beauty and a joy forever is shown by the accompanying illustration, repro- duced from a photograph made in the vard of J. N. King, the well-known florist of Norristown, Pa. An old stump, something more than five feet high and hollow, was filled with soil and a series of holes were cut in different parts of the stump. Then about fifty bulbs of Ismene calathina were planted. The photograph was made after the bulbs had produced abundant bloom. 13. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., who sent the photograph to The Review, said it "presented an exceptionally handsome appearance and has been in bloom dur- ing the entire month of June, show- ing what can be done with what would ordinarily be an eyesore; it can be made into a thing of beauty." SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. Department of Registration. Public notice is hereby given that A. X. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, Conn., offers for registration the roses de- scribed below. Any person objecting to the registration, or to the use of the proposed names, is requested to com- municate with the secretary at once, railing to receive objection to the regis- tration, the same will be made three weeks from this date. Raiser's descriptions: Name, Lady Cromwell. A sport of My Maryland, originating with A. N. Pierson, Inc., in 1908. This rose in every way resembles My Maryland, except in color. It is a shell pink outside, shading deeper toward the center, which is a creamy yellow, and sometimes quite a deep yellow. During the hot weather, how- ever, the yellow center disappears, and the rose looks much the color of an Enchantress carnation. It is very fragrant. This rose will not be dis- seminated until the spring of 1912. Name, Dark Pink Killarney. A sport of Killarney, originating with the Mon- trose Greenhouses, Montrose, Mass., and acquired by A. N. Pierson, Inc., by purchase. It is identical with the parent in habit and size of bloom. The color, however, is much darker than Killarney at all times of the year. This rose will be disseminated in 1911. Public notice is hereby given that Hoopes Bro. & Thomas Co., of West Chester, Pa., offers for registration the rose described below. Any person ob- jecting to the registration, or to the use of the proposed name, is requested to communicate with the secretary at once. Failing to receive objection to the regis- tration, the same will be made three weeks from this date. Raiser's description: Name, Purity. A strong growing, climbing rose, making shoots of from ten to twelve inches in a season. Foliage, bright, glossy green, free from mildew or black spot. Flower four to five inches in diameter, pure ivory white. Petals of great substance and beautifully cupped. The plant is very floriferous, literally covering itself with its large flowers. Resembling the Clematis Henryi, they are borne on long stems twelve to eighteen inches long and are very fragrant. Buds are verv large and fine for cutting. Can be used either as a pillar or climbing rose. H. B. Dorner, Sec 'v. July 7, 1910. JULT 14, 1910. TheWcefcly Florists' Review. 13 READERS ARE INVITED TO CONTRIBUTE ITEMS FOR THIS DEPARTMENT.

Peirce, formerly of Dallas, has charge of the two green- houses, 14x75, being built by the Mc- Kinney Nursery Co. Fainnont, W. Va. — Large numbers of carnations were given out as souvenirs at the opening of George DaflSn's new confectionery and flower store, in the Comerford building, on Main street. Peoria, 111.— Frank E. Rue has been moving a surplus stock of verbenas, and expediting business generally, by advertising that he would give the verbena plants free to purchasers of other stock. Elmlra, N. Y.— It is reported that Peter Kominos has been preparing to open a flower store at 311 East Water street, but that his former partner, Peter Makres, intended to secure an in- junction restraining him from doing so, on account of an agreement, made be- fore the dissolution of partnership, that Mr, Kominos would not engage again in the business in that neighborhood. Houston, Tex.— H. H. Kuhlmann re- cently has taken over the entire busi- ness of Wm. Kutschbach and will here- after run it in connection with his own. The Kutschbach store and green- houses constituted the largest concern in the trade in Houston and the com- bined businesses make Mr. Kuhlmann an important factor in the flower trade of the southwest. Gardner, Mass.— A recent fire at the Riverside Greenhouses, owned by Carl J. Erickson, destroyed four of the group of houses, besides the barn and carriage shed. The fire started from the boiler and had made much headway before help could be obtained from the fire de- partment. The loss was estimated at $4,000, with only $1,500 of insurance. Since buying the property from C. S. Johnson four years ago, Mr. Erickson had doubled the size of the greenhouses and made other improvements which practically doubled the worth of the property. He says he intends to build again and start anew. Elmhurst, Cal. — E. James & Co., at Hillside, are building an additional greenhouse. Basil, O. — H. M. Paskins has had an excellent season and is on his way to the Pacific northwest for a vacation visit with a sister whom he has not seen in over forty years. Savanna, 111. — J. Y. Lambert & Son, of the Savanna Greenhouses, will ex- tend their business so as to include the growing of vegetables for the wholesale trade. Several houses will be added for this purpose. Buffalo, N. Y. — The city park com- missioners have awarded to the King Construction Co. a contract for furnish- ing, complete, a greenhouse 20x107, to be attached to the present range on Elmwood avenue, in Delaware park. Princeton, 111.— The 42-foot brick smokestack at Carl Erickson 's green- houses was recently struck by lightning and about half of it was torn away. Bricks were thrown, it is said, a dis- tance of fifty feet and many of them crashed through the glass of the houses. The chimney will be rebuilt at once. Youngstown, O. — Wm. A. Wittman, a florist with a thorough experience in the best class of work, has opened a store at 41 North Phelps street. The store is one of the most up-to-date es- tablishments in this part of the state. The room has been remodeled and greatly improved and, with its large and well-arranged stock, presents a most attractive appearance. Saddle River, N. J. — J. E. Esler says the storm of June 18 was widespread in the states of Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey, and considerable damage to greenhouse structures in all three states resulted. Quite a number were insured, but several got caught without insurance. The sequel is that the F. H. A. is having a boom. The figures now are considerably over 34, 000,000 square feet of glass insured. Marblehead, Mass. — The business formerly conducted by Larkin H. Hay- den has now been reorganized and will bear the name of the Devereux Cor- poration Greenhouses. The officers of the new company are Larkin H. Hay- den, president, and Roger Upton, treas- urer. No secretary has yet been chosen. Mr. Hayden, who has been in the trade for the last twelve years, will continue as manager. The company's green- houses, at the corner of Beach street and Atlantic avenue, will be enlarged to almost three times their present di- mensions and will contain, when com- pleted, about 25,000 square feet of glass. Cheboygan, Mich. — It is said that G. H. Harrison has the boating fever and has purchased a launch. Cromwell, Conn. — It is stated on good authority that A. N. Pierson is not en- tirely satisfied with White Killarney and will grow it less extensively the coming season. Taunton, Mass. — At the Taunton greenhouses the June business this year surpassed all previous records. Trade during the whole of the last season has been satisfactory. Salt Lake City, Utah. — It is reported that Sidney R. Lambourne, a florist at 334 Seventh East, was recently as- saulted by a street car conductor after mildly remonstrating with the con- ductor because the car had not been stopped as requested. Mr. Lambourne reported his treatment to the police, and an investigation was begun by the railway claim agent. Dallas, Tex. — At a meeting of the di- rectors of the Seaboard National Bank of New York City, held July 7, E. H. R. Green, president of the Green Floral & Nursery Co., of this city, was elected a director of the bank, which is one of the largest and strongest in the United States. Mr. Green also is president of the Texas Midland railroad, but the rumor in New York is that he will in future spend most of his time in that city. Indianapolis, Ind.— The State Flo- rists' Association h^s announced that it will hold its fall show November 8 to 12, in Tomlinson hall. The preliminary premium list carries about $2,000 in prizes, and it is expected that special features will be added, which will run the total far above that sum. The board of managers for the show is as follows: J. S. Stuart, Anderson, general man- ager; H. Junge, Cumberland, assistant manager; A. F. J. Baur, Indianapolis, secretary; H. L. Wiegand, Indianapolis, treasurer; F. E. Dorner, Lafayette, and E. H. Mann, Richmond, Kansas City, Mo. — After twenty-one years at 1017 Broadway, Sam Murray is removing to 913 Grand avenue. He expects to be settled in his new loca- tion this week. The change was made necessary by the growth of the city. Once located in the most fashionable section, Mr. Murray found himself at last surrounded by wholesale houses and completely out of the way of the fashionable trade. The new store is not only in the best downtown district, accessible to the wealthy buyers, but will afford far larger facilities. Mr. Murray is fitting it up as one of the best appointed flower stores in the country. 12 The Weekly Florists' Review. ,1L1Y 14, 1910. OBITUARY. J. W. Dudley. • I. W.

August 16 to 19. 1910, Results bring advertising. The Review brings results. You who are looking for opportunities to go into business wiU find many such in The Review's department of Want advertisements. The international flower show to be held at London, England, in 1912 is planned to open May 22. It is hoped to secure American cooperation. The rate of one and three-fifths fares for the round trip, on the certificate plan, has been authorized by the railroads for the S. A. F. convention at Rochester next month. Many people will tell you that the best index to a publication's closeness to its readers is the Want Ad department. And The Review's Want department is grow- ing even faster than other parts of the paper. It appears that the cut flower pos- sibilities of the peony are nowhere any better than in the section where they never fail to bloom by May 10 to 20. Fair prices always are realized in northern markets for good flowers well handled at Memorial day, and fre- quently fine prices are obtained, as was the case this year in middle west- ern cities. PROPOSE SPRING CONVENTION. It is stated that the necessary steps have been taken to bring before the S. A. F., in form for action at Rooliester, a proposal to change the date of the annual convention from midsummer to early Lent, a date corresponding with that of the society's National Flower Show at Boston in the spring of 1911. For some time there has been com- plaint that the multiplication of trade societies was working disadvantageous- ly in many ways: disadvantageously to individuals, who find they can ill afford the time and money required for at- tendance at all the meetings their in- clination and interest prompts, and dis- advantageously to the parent society and the special societies by dividing up the attendance and financial support. It has been apparent that the attend- ance at the conventions of the leading trade societies was not increasing at anything like the rate that the trade itself is growing; that the membership lists are not in any way representative of the trade at large as it exists todav in this country, and that the value of the societies is impaired by a constantly increasing diffusion of the energies of the limited number of men whose serv- ices are available for such work. To correct the tendency in the wrong direction has been a problem which has engaged the thought of some of the best men in the business, but little ac- tual result was apparent until individual interests began to be strong enough to overcome the several strong special ob- jections to concentration, the first real success being in combining the Carna- tion Society's show and the Rose So- ciety's affair with next year's National Flower Show at Boston. To effect a change of date of the S. A. F. convention and permanently com- bine these three meetings may not prove so easy a matter, but there undoubtedly now are many who would welcome a change to a spring date for the S. A. F. meeting irrespective of other than busi- ness and personal considerations. August is no longer the dull month it once was for the growers, and experience has shown that a considerable number of those who have leisure in that month prefer to spend it otherwise than in a hot convention hall. IN CASE OF DOUBT- Ask The Review. The Review is glad to answer ques- tions concerning any phase of the busi- ness. Q. — We are bulb growers in Holland and want to procure topographical and common maps of the states of Oregon and Washington. Ans. — Address Rand, McNally & Co., 166 Adams street, Chi- cago. Q. — There is a man in our town who calls on the family or friends of a de- ceased person and simply stays with them until he gets an order, often mis- representing other florists; we want to know how to deal with him. Ans. — The crepe chaser is beyond human reach. Q. — I want to know how to deal with San Jose scale that infests my fruit trees and the neighborhood. Ans. — Ap- ply for aid to your state experiment sta- tion or the state entomologist. CHXCAGO. The Great Central Market. Last week's market, especially the latter part, was undeniably dull; the most optimistic could find nothing in it more encouraging than the diminishing supply of stock. The weather was the hottest of the year to date, and demand lighter than in any week this year; in- deed, some of the wholesalers said they have not had so dull a week within two summers. The local retailers seem to have ceased pushing for business, mak- ing no further effort than to supply the few funeral designs that are called for. Many of them have no cut stock what- ever in their windows and little in their ice-boxes. Shipping trade has been bet- ter than local business, but called prin- cipally for roses. Conditions are slightly better this week, because of showers and cooler weather. The call for roses is in excess of the supply of really good stock. Rose re- ceipts are not heavy and a large part of the stock continues to be of ex- tremely poor quality, not usable on or- ders for anything but the cheapest of funeral work. The result is that after the wholesalers have done the large amount of sorting necessary to separate the few good flowers from the much greater number of poor ones, they ex- pect and are able to demand good prices for the best, while there is almost no sale whatever for the culls. Beauties are not so abundant as they have been and are now pretty fair sale. KiUarney IS again proving the best summer rose among the pinks. White KiUarney is fine in everything except color, but Kaiserin still has the call. Richmond IS in large supply in several houses and IS not in special request. The receipts of carnations have been July 14, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 15 Killarney PINK WHITE %0 WHITE Current Price List AMERICAN BEAUTY Per doz.

Dry weather has not been to the advantage of the asters, the ar- rival of which is now awaited with con- siderable eagerness. Where the stock has been watered, cutting will com- mence within a few days, but it will be August 1 before the deluge is in sight, even if the drought has not worked irreparable injury. There are large supplies of gladioli. America and Augusta are fair sale, but the common sorts of indescribable color can only be sold cheaply. Auratum lilies have come to take the place of the callas that are gone. There con- tinue to be plenty of Easter lilies. Val- ley is abundant. Quite a few Golden Glow mums are offered, but the supply is not constant and advance orders are advised if anybody really wants them. Shasta daisies are plentiful, but sell Suite well. Coreopsis, gaillardia, fever- ew and other outdoor flowers move slowly. The sweet peas are nearing the end of their season; few good ones now are seen and there is little call for them. The peonies will hold out at least until the end of next week. The peony situation this year has reminded ob- servers of the family that put a barrel of apples in the cellar in the fall; not wishing to lose the specked ones, they ate the spoiling apples first, and had not got down to the good ones when the bottom of the barrel was reached. This may not be true of everyone who stored peonies, but there are few ex- ceptions; most of them have been eat- ing rotten apples all season. There is an abundance of all green stock, for the demand is light. Club Meeting. At its dinner at the Union restaurant, July 7, the Chicago Florists' Club pre- pared to go to the Rochester convention of the S. A. F. in a special train oper- ated as a second section of the Lake Shore's famous Twentieth Century Limited, the eighteen-hour flyer to New York. The details are not complete, ex- cept that E. F. Winterson, chairman of the transportation committee, stated that the Lake Shore had been selected as the official route. The special train is contingent on having a party of 100 or more. To get this number will re- quire that St. Louis, Milwaukee and other cities west and north join in, De- troit, Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo and others being picked up en route. The president was instructed to appoint a special entertainment committee to aid the transportation committee. The fare will be $15.38 going, $8.10 returning, with $3 each way for sleeper. There were about forty present at the dinner, which everyone enjoyed. It was voted to hold a picnic Sunday, July 31, a committee, consisting of A. C. Kohl- brand, P. L. McKee and A. F. Longren being appointed to work with the stand- ing committee on good of the club, which consists of Frank Pasternick, John Degnan and H. Schiller. J, C. Vaughan and A. Lange were named as a committee to act for the club in an attempt to secure a payment of damages by the City Railway Co. for the death of Darby, who, it appears, left a deaf and dumb son in need of assistance. There was much general discussion of flower show, bowling, con- vention and other matters. Harry Philpott invited everybody to the C. H. A. convention at St. Catherines, August 10. Proposals for membership were three: H. C. Wendland, Elmhurst; Alex. Garland, Des Plaines; H. Yepson Evanston. No Picnic. The picnic committee appointed at the last meeting of the Florists' Club held a meeting at E. C. Amling's July 11, at which J. P. Degnan, H. D. Schil- ler, A. C. Kohlbrand and Frank Paster- nick were present. After going over the situation fully it was decided that none of the grounds available were sat- isfactory and that it would be wisest to omit the picnic for this year. Flower Show Matters. Following the adjourned quarterly meeting of the Horticultural Society July 19, early action on the matter of the usual fall show is expected. As re- ported some months ago in The Review the Coliseum will not be available at APHINE Destroys Qreen, Black and White Fly, Red Spider, Thrlps, Mealy Bug and Scale.

It is stated that the executive committee is considering the First Regiment armory, also the Seventh, and that they are about the only places of suitable size now in sight. It is not thought the show will be permitted to fall through. Various Notes. George Wienhoeber says business still IS good with the Fleischman Floral Co. June was excellent. July, while nat- urally not so good, nevertheless is fair. The Bassett & Washburn baseball team would like to arrange dates with other teams of florists. Address Joseph Kohout, Hinsdale, 111.

A general listlessness and extreme dullness pervade cut flower circles. Good flowers are becoming increasingly scarce and the demand is light. We have been sweltering with tempera- tures of 90 to 100 degrees in the shade, and this in itself suffices to put business down and out. The general verdict that there is absolutely nothing doing well portrays the situation. Qood roses are scarce. A few decent quality Beauties are still seen, also excellent Kaiserin and Carnot. Killarney and Maryland are getting poorer all the time. Values are away down. Carnations also are poor — in fact, good flowers are the ex- ception. A select few may make $2 per hundred, but the majority go at 25 to 50 cents. Sweet peas are abundant, but getting short-stemmed. Trade in valley, cattleyas, lilies and callas is quite light. Gladioli are good, but sell slowly with the rest. Nymphseas are being used freely for window deco- rations. Bouvardia Humboldtii comes in small quantities and makes 50 cents per bunch. Good sweet sultan, candy- tuft, cornflower, asters, the latter in limited numbers as yet, and gypsophila are to be had. There is not much de- mand for asparagus and adiantum. Trade in pot plants has sunk to a low ebb. Hydrangeas are as much seen as anything, while some tuberous begonias, gloxinias and fuchsias are used. Various Notes. William A. Hastings, of the Park street flower market, left July 8 for cool Nantucket, io be away until early in September. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Neil, of Dor- chester, are spending a few weeks at Ocean Grove, N. J. In the meantime the boys, Tom and Charlie, are hustling along necessary changes in the green- houses. William J. Thurston, the popular man- ager of the older Park Street flower mar- ket, accompanied by W. E, Turner, of Woburn, started July 11 for Jefferson, N. H., where their vacations will be spent. Advices from S. J. Groddard show that gentleman to be thoroughly enjoying him- self in the south of England. When last heard from he was at Bournemouth, one of the qiost beautiful of British watering places and health resorts. E. Jackson Bogean, sale.sman for A. N. Pierson and other prominent growers, left July 8 for a trip to Nova Scotia. A number of local horticulturists will visit Bar Harbor, Me., and officiate as judges at the third annual flower show there August 13 and 14. The two wholesale flower markets have decided to close Saturdays during July and August, when business is at its lowest ebb. This change is much appreciated by the salesmen. W. H. Elliott and the Waban Eose Conservatories have adopted a similar rule and it now only remains for the wholesale commission people to do likewise and make the thing unanimous. Joseph Margolis, of the firm of H. M. Robinson & Co., and Sidney Hoffman, the enterprising and popular Massachusetts avenue retailer, were among the passen- gers on the steamship Amerika, for Eu- rope July 9. Each will make an extended tour and combine business with pleasure. Wilham McAlpine, chief salesman for the J. A. Budlong & Sons Co., of Auburn, a. I., in Boston, is enjoying his annual vacation at Exeter, N. H. Edward Bingham, the well-known violet specialist of Dedham, sailed for England on the steamship Ivernia, July 5.

Our sincere sympathy goes out to the bereaved husband. Edgar Bros., of Waverley, are just fin- ishing construction work on their fine new greenhouse. Edward Wood, of Lexington, is rebuild- ing one or two houses, building a new chimney and making lots of other im- provements at present. An interesting^and charming hardy gar- den is that of Benjamin Worcester, Piety Comer, Waltham. Superb delphiniums, eight feet in height, grand candidum liHes and other hardy herbaceous plants are now a feature. Thomas Clark, father of Thomas J. Clark, the well-known Boylston street flo- rist, a familiar face for a number of years with Norton Bros., later with Houghton & Clark, and up to the time of his decease with his son, was taken ill July 3, died July 6 and was interred July 9.

Hybrid perpetual roses, which are the varieties we presume you refer to, in- cluding such sorts as General Jacque- minot, Mme. Gabriel Luizet, Paul Neyron, Magna Charta, Frau Karl Druschki, Mrs. John Laing, etc., do better if pruned back quite severely each spring. The growths of the pre- ceding year should be cut back so that from two to four eyes only are left, according to the strength of each. All dead and weak wood should be cut away entirely, and only strong, healthy shoots retained. By pruning more lightly a somewhat earlier lot of flowers can be had, but they will lack the quality pro- duced on plants cut back more severely. Hybrid tea and tea roses must be cut back much less severely than hybrid perpetuals. Ramblers should have none of the previous year's wood re- moved, except such as is dead and weak. C. W. PLANTS FOE MEMORIAL DAY. Please let me know when to plant the seeds of stocks, petunias, salvias and verbenas to have blooming plants by Memorial dayf A. D. Sow stocks and petunias at the end of February, Salvia splendens a month later, and verbenas the middle of March. The salvias are hardly likely to be much in flower at Memorial day. As a rule they do not bloom much before late summer or early fall. Plants from cut- tings will flower earlier than seedlings. You will find hints as to the sowing of these and other bedding plants in the cultural department of The Review throughout the season. C. W.

PHILADELPHIA. The Bising Eastern Market. Another hot wave arrived with the current week, July 7, and continued sev- eral days. It had a marked effect on the market. The growers whose flow- ers have withstood previous onslaughts succumbed to this one, and shipments are lighter. The tone of the market is rather better. There is no more de- mand, but supply and demand are more evenly balanced. Business is about normal for the middle of July. There is a certain amount of shipping that comes in little puffs and gales and then sub- sides; quality only will do for these orders. The quality is like the "four hundred" to the four hundred thousand — still you can get the quality when you make it clear that that only is wanted. Carnation shipments have fallen off, decidedly. Asters of modest mien are' increusing in numbers slowly. Easter lilies are good — their quality is more ap- preciated these hot days. Gladiolus in fancy varieties is fine and selling about as well as anything. Shasta daisies of superb quality are here, and with them sweet peas from a cooler clime that equal our best standard. Tlie rose assortment is made up of eastern Beauties of good quality, Kaiserin that unfortunately do not equal the demand on many days, and My Maryland, chiefly in medium and short lengths. There also are a few good Killarney and its white sister. Valley, cattleyas and gardenias are obtainable, but play a less important part than a month ago. Greens are plentiful. Club Meeting. There was an interested audience at the postponed meeting of the Florists' Club, July 12, to hear W. A. Manda. His subject was "Is Ours a Profession or a Trade?" and he delivered an ad- dress highly cultivated and of great beauty. It was followed by the general discussion. J. Otto Thilow and others took the view that ours is a profession. A. Farenwald thought specializing tended to narrowness. Mr. Niessen ad- vocated the advantages offered young men in horticulture. The address and debate were full of interest. Various Notes. "Walter N. Yates, whose clever busi- ness ideas have often brightened this column, will sail for Europe July 23 to visit the nurseries of England, Holland, Belgium and France and gather ma- terial for next season's campaign. S. Morris Jones has sold his entire block of stock in the Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa., retaining his office of treasurer of the company until the annual meeting this month. There will be no change in management of the com- pany's affairs. Casper and George L.

TBACHELIUM CSSBXTLEJIM.. The tracheliums or throatworts are a small genus of biennial or perennial herbs, found in shady places in south- ern Europe. The best variety is T. cseruleum, quite popular as a border plant in Great Britain, where it blooms in August. In America this plant is occasionally listed by seedsmen, but has been much neglected. The best way to treat it here is as a biennial, sowing seed in early summer for blooming the following year. Seed sown now will produce strong flowering plants for next June. The seed germinates read- ily, and if first pricked off in flats and later planted out in coldframes to be wintered, like Canterbury bells or fox- gloves, or potted on for flowering under glass, strong plants can be had before cold weather.

The flowers last finely in water and their light, airy appearance attracts in- stant attention. This plant is worthy the attention of private gardeners, both as a pot and border plant, while it should have some commercial possibilities also. In Great Britain it is popular, both as a green- house and border plant, and when bet- ter known it will be largely grown here. The plant belongs to the natural order campanulacese. C. NEW YOEK. The Market. The hot wave continues. ' ' There is no business," is the universal greeting to one's "How's " They do not give one time to ask the question. "Bad as every summer is, ' ' the oldest wholesaler says, "this season overtops them all." The hot weather does not seem to in- terfere with the quantity of shipments. The market simply cannot digest them. It would seem wise for the growers to hold and destroy everything that is not perfect. Such a course would be far better for them and for the business generally — in fact, several wholesalers have given these instructions to their shippers, for in many cases the cost of expressage is not realized. Day after day last week a big Brooklyn buyer carted away 5,000 carnations from the shipments of a grower of national reputation and paid only $10 for them. It would be money in the pockets of grower, wholesaler and retailer if every flower store would close during July and August. Apart from funeral work there is ab- solutely nothing doing. It is next to impossible to quote prices. Buyers find no reasonable or unreasonable offer ignored. Hundreds of dollars' worth are destroyed daily, because no possi- ble market can be made for the ar- rivals. Even the best stock deteriorates rapidly in the intense heat and only the select brings any price at all.

Valley seems to be the only scarcity. It brought early in the week as high as $3 per hundred for the best. This is sweet pea week, and we will see the finest of them at the convention. There is no price for inferior stock, and the street is the only outlet. The Week's Outings. Members of the New York and New Jersey Association of Plant Growers, their wives, daughters and sweethearts to the number of seventy-five, includ- ing the guests, journeyed on the early train Thursday, July 7, to Lake Hopat- cong, one of the prettiest sheets of water in the state. On arrival there at 10 a. m. the boat in waiting carried the company to the popular inn, where after a sumptuous breakfast the ladies enjoyed a two hours' sail around the charming lake, while swimming, boat- ing and bowling kept the sterner sex interested. Then the privileges were reversed and the ladies' bowling con- tests for handsome prizes began. Mr. Nash, of Bronx park, and wife, who are camping on the shores of the lake, were welcome visitors during the after- noon. The weather was perfect. The contests were keenly enjoyed and the prizes well worth the winning. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Scholzel celebrated with the company their fourteenth wed ^ng anniversary, and Mr. and Mrs Wittman their twenty-fifth anniversary which occurred only a few days before The Schultheis brothers gave an exhibi- tion of fancy swimming fuUy clothed, that was easily the popular hit of the July 14, 1010.

The attend- ance was close to 700. Nearly every wholesale house was represented, and many of the principals attended. Fra- ternity was splendidly demonstrated. All the events on the program were well contested and several Americans won prizes. No accident marred the pleasure of the day. George D. Nich- olas waxed eloquent, as usual. The committees were made up of the best Grecian blood of the community, while the Greek wives and daughters demon- strated the continuance of the classic beauty that made ancient Athens fa.- mous. The prizes were numerous and valuable. The whole affair was a credit to its promoters, and it was unfortunate the same day was chosen as that se- lected by the plant growers, as it made a difference of nearly 100 in the at- tendance. But the boat was well filled and everybody who attended has a good word to say for the management. Various Notes. The seventy-ninth fair of the Amer- ican Institute is announced for Septem- ber 20 to 22 at the Berkeley Lyceum, also the annual chrysanthemum show at the same place November 9 to 11. The schedule of prizes, as usual, is large and attractive. Cleary's Horticultural Co., on Vesey street, has closed for the season and the big auction mart has a "To Let" sign in the window. M. A. Bowe has a strenuous six months ahead of him. After his wed- ding and honeymoon he must hustle for a new store, his present gold mine being needed with the rest of the block for a 27-story modern hotel. He is looking for his new quarters as near his present location as possible. 26 The Weekly Florists^ Review. July 14, 1910. FANCY FERN Finest Stock FANCY FERN Per 1000, $1.86.

For the last thirty days we have had practically no rain, but some exceed- ingly hot weather. For days at a stretch it has been from 95 to 104 de- grees in the sun. Consequently stock is poor, Eoses are small and soft. Car- nations are small. Lilies are about the best flowers available. There has been a big demand for anything purple this week, as purple and white are the Elks' colors. Purple larkspur is selling read- ily at a good price, it being about the only gooa purple flower available. Pur- ple peas also are in demand. A steady run of funeral work and an occasional wedding have kept the florists quite busy. Various Notes. Robert Watson is heels over head in the work of rebuilding his houses. Wm. Hielscher disposed of his tour- ing car at a pretty good figure after becoming an adept at the wheel. Two stories have just been added to the already large building occupied by D. M. Ferry & Co. As the building covers nearly a block, this addition means a large increase in floor area. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Taepke have returned from an extended honeymoon, spent in the East. They were well en- tertained by different members of the craft. Mrs. Hugo Schroeter and her little son are visiting in Boston and Newport. At present they are staying with the Finlaysons on the beautiful estate of Larz Anderson, where Mr. Finlayson is in charge. Purple and white are the predominat- ing colors in Detroit this week, the Elks' annual convention being held here. Many of the florists downtown have elaborately decorated their store windows and store fronts to welcome the antlered herds. Friday, July 15, there is to be an automobile parade, when it is expected there will be over 1,000 autos in line. Many of these will be decorated, and some of the florists already have good orders. The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange supplied many thousand yards of gar- land made of arborvit© to the big stores for Elk decorations. The next meeting of the Florists' Club is to be held at the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange Monday evening, July 18. Lunch and refreshments will be provided by the entertainment commit- tee, and a large attendance is looked for, as some important matters are to be settled.

Bu&iness remains in the same condi- tion as last week, little doing, and, as usual, the market is glutted with stock of all kinds in season. The retail stores say that the only business done by them last week was for funerals, but there was quite a bit of it. At the wholesale houses we see each morning large piles of carnations, sweet peas, roses and gladioli. These, with a few asters and a lot of outdoor stock, make up the daily market. The stock is more or less of poor quality, roses soft and car- nations small and oflf color. Replanting time is now beginning at some of the large places, and this should soon make a scarcity in roses and carnations. Cor- rect quotations are hard to give, as prices are changing almost daily. Various Notes. The monthly meeting of the Ladies' Home Circle, as announced by Mrs. John Steidle, president, has been post- poned until Thursday, July 28. The meeting should have taken place July 13, but, as originally planned, will be held at Mrs. Steidle 's home in Central. The ladies should take the 1 o'clock Clayton car and all meet at the Auten- reids hotel in Clayton. From there they will be taken in wagonettes to Mrs. Steidle 's home. The husbands are also invited. Mr. and Mrs. William Ellison have moved their residence out to Kirkwood for the summer and have abandoned their usual northern trip for this season at least. President Matilda Meinhardt, of the Ladies' S. A. F., is spending ten days' vacation at Chautauqua, where they have a cottage. Ludwig Zimmer has again leased his WILLIAM J. SMYTH FLORIST Cor.

Mr. Zimmer says he had a splendid business season. He is contemplating quite a few altera- tions this summer. The Retail Florists' Association has taken up the fight on crape-pullers and has appointed a committee of three florists from the south side to see what can be done to stop the practice. W. C. Smith, Vincent Gorly and E. J. Windier left Monday, July 11, for De- troit, to attend the Elks' convention. All three promised to be back in time for the florists' picnic. Adolph Brix and wife sold 316 feet of ground on Oxford Lane to the A. Brix Floral Co. last week. On this tract of land stand the greenhouses of the Brix Floral Co. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Kuehn, with their little son, will spend a two weeks' va- cation the last of this month in Mil- waukee at the home of Mr. Kuehn 's parents. The craft has lost a valued friend in the death of Henry F. Kent, a patron of horticulture. Mr. Kent was a great lover of flowers and a close friend of the late Henry Shaw. Thfc hot weather of late has put a stop to bowling among the florists. It is hardly expected that a team will be made up to represent this city in the bowling tournament at Rochester next month. Edwin Denker, of St. Charles, Mo., was a caller last week, Mr. Denker says he will make the trip to Roches- ter next month to attend the S. A. F. convention. GLEYEDIID ..The J. M.

At the same time Henry Field was reolct'ted president and manager of the Inisiness, with Harry Eaton secretary and treasurer. The board of directors consists, in addition, of A. L. P. Thomp- son, G. C. Mitchell, D. S. Lake, E. S. Welch and Elbert Read. Messrs. Lake and Welch are widely known in the nurserj' trade, in which they are en- gaged, Mr. Welch having, in fact, been elected vice-president of the American Association of Nurserymen a^ the con- Aention at Denver in June. Shenandoah is proud of the Field Seed concern for the money it brings to the town and largely leaves there. For instance, the Field postage bill helped the local postmaster make a showing to the extent of $^13,000; the payroll last year was .$24,000, and ^45,000 was paid to local farmers on ■corn contracts.

S. Consnlar Agent F. M. Mansfield in a report made public July 5 by the Department of Commerce. The same, he says, is probably true of shipments to other countries. This has been caused by Ihe shortage in the larger sizes of narcissus and hyacinth bulbs, the prices of which, continually tending to increase, make up the greater sum total of the amount of the in- voices. From this it is to be inferred that the demand for the finest quali- ties is constantly increasing, and this of itself should tend to stimulate the American grower to reproduce the va- rieties which are sought so greatly. Growers Seek Direct Market; There is a growing disposition on the part of the small grower to find his market direct, without the intervention of the middleman, the wholesaler, or shipper. There are many diflSculties in his way, but, so far as relations with buj'ers in the United States are con- PANSY SEED ^^|?f oz.

While syndica- tion has been the means by which the bulb-growing and cut-flower industry has been developed in the Department of the Var, it has its disadvantages, and many small growers are beginning to see the advantages of dealing direct- ly with the foreign consumers. One such is known to have sold the first year of such direct business but 50,000 bulbs to a dealer in the United States, but for the second year the order was increased to 125,000, and the present year sees a standing order of 250,000 bulbs. The order is placed under cer- tain restrictions and conditions as to price and quality, and is intended to cover the grower's entire crop. The wholesaler naturally endeavors to hold his source of supply unto him- self. Sometimes he holds the grower in such a way as to make competition out of the question — by advances on the growing crop, by supplying seed bulbs to the small grower for planting, and taking in return all the crop exceeding a certain dimension, leaving the grower the small bulbs for replanting, propa- gating, and developing the following year for his own profit — but, generally speaking, the relations between the grower and the buyer are those of price and quality. Expenses and Profits. The crop does not always produce the same results, even under similar condi- tions, whether with respect to quan- tity or with regard to quality, but in Giant PANSY Seed The Kenilworth Strain must not be compared with the flimsy Trimar- doau; it is much larger and of good substance.

On a planta- tion where the bulbs have been planted only one season, and three or four bul- billes have been produced, it is rea- sonable to suppose that, upon replant- ing, all will produce blooms of a satis- fying and even gratifying luxuriance. In general all that is specifically noted with regard to the methods of market- ing the narcissus bulbs applies also to hyacinths, freesias, Lilium candidum, etc. Narcissus bulbs usually produce a first-class crop of three-fifths of those planted (3,000 to the are=119.6 square yards), which approach five inches, and are marketable at an average pric of 25 francs ($4.83) per thousand, while the other two-fifths are valued at only 12 francs ($2.32) per thousand.

Business has been dull during the last week; no more so than is generally expected at this season, but noticeable after the steady trade that has con- tinued up to the present. Several large funerals, however, have pieced out well. Sweet peas are now at their height and, while not an actual glut on the market, are in great plenty. Car- nations are off. Roses are equal to all demands. Prices range at the usual schedule for the summer season. Various Notes. Many of the florists have joined the half-holiday closing movement and close their stores at noon Fridays dur- ing July and August. The Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island is arranging to pay a visit to Rhode Island College, at King- ston, on Monday, July 18. Stewart Ritchie had the decorations for the Riggs-French wedding, at New- port, last week. William Appleton is under the weather, the excessive heat aggravat- ing his troubles. Albert Holscher, of Olneyville, bringing in some fine sweet peas light colors. Albert Bavier, who has been charge of the flower department of Dimond & Sons, Inc., this city, has sev- ered his connection therewith and is now at his home in Meriden, Conn. John M. Greene, of Harrison street, this city, has purchased a lot of land on Waldo street, with a small green- house thereon, formerly belonging to the late W. A. Munroe. He is prepar- ing to move his stock to the new place, which he intends to enlarge and im- prove. M. Walsh, for several years with William Hay, Arlington, is now with the new firm of Burke & Burns. At the last meeting of the board of aldermen of Newport, Arend Brandt and Patrick Reynolds were drawn as grand jurors, and James Matson, Jos- eph Gibson and John Baumgartner as petit jurors. Maxwell Villers, with Johnston Bros., on Dorrance street, is enjoying all his leisure time this summer in canoeing on the Pawtuxet river. W. S. Pino has gone with his family to his cottage at Quonochontaug for the summer. This is on the south coast of Rhode Island, overlooking the Atlantic ocean. Simon Peterson, of East Providence, has been quite busy with funeral work the last week or so. H. C. Neubrand, with W. S. Pino, has been spending his vacation at Roch- ester and Webster, N. Y. A range of greenhouses is being erected on the estate of Arthur Curtis Brown, at Newport, by Hitchings & Co., of New York. William E. Chappell had several pieces for the Walter Darby funeral. Eugene McCarron furnished a num- ber of fine designs for the fimertlM)f Robert N. Walker. Hitchings & Co., of New York, are erecting a range of greenhouses on the Grosvenor estate, at Newport.

Mention The Review when you write. NEW BEDFORD, MASS. The Market. Business is about the same as usual at this time of year, with little doing except funeral work, which has been good all through the season. Outdoor flowers are quite plentiful. Carnations are still in the market, but they are small and of poor quality. They retail at 50 cents per dozen. Roses bring from $1 to $1.50 per dozen, and sweet peas, which are in heavy supply, go for almost nothing; the best long-stem blooms can be had for 10 cents per bunch, and from 25 to 50 cents per hundred is the general price. There is plenty of candytuft, sweet alyssum and other flowers to help out these hot summer days. Rambler and Dorothy Perkins roses are grand sights. These two old favorites seem to grow more popular each year, and nearly every yard, regardless of size, has at least one of these climbers. The plant trade is practically ended, and everyone is well satisfied with the results. Asters will soon be in bloom and will help the cut flower business. Young carnations in the field look fairly good, although last week was exceptionally hot and some good rains are badly needed. Various Notes. Most of the uptown stores now close at noon Wednesdays for a half holi- day, and at 6 o'clock on other even- ings. E. Y. Peirce has finished planting his roses and mums. He has between 4,000 and 5,000 of the latter. Mr. Peirce re- ports business unusually good for the summer months. A. B. Hathaway has some of the finest sweet peas ever seen here. Peter Murray is building a new range of greenhouses at Fairhaven, and says that business is fine. His landscape gardening work is increasing every year. All the stores closed at noon on the Fourth. No extra business is reported for this holiday. W. L. Bloomington, IlL — F. A. Bailer says that business this spring has been good, as estimated by the demand for stock, but has not been profitable for him, on account of the late frosts, which de- stroyed his fruit and his outdoor crop of flowers. The prospects now are re- assuring, but the spring of 1910, he says, will be unpleasantly remembered by him.

Business was in keeping with the sea- Bon last week. With the exception of flowers for a large funeral at Fortville, there was little doing. However, this funeral helped out considerably, as Bev- termann Bros. Co. made several trips with their auto delivery truck and A. Wiegand & Sons sent enough work to fill two express cars on the interurban. Various Notes. E. Koepke, of the Koepke-Kieman Co., is back after a ten days' vacation at Sandusky and Put in Bay. Homer Wiegand is somewhere on the road to Detroit in his automobile, where he has gone to attend the Elks' con- vention this week. Frank Hasselman, of the Indianapolis Flower & Plant Co., is back from a two weeks' stay in New York. Nixon Gano, of Martinsville, came to the city to attend the meeting of the State Florists' Association last week. George Wiegand is back at work after a short vacation. Alfred Brandt reports his new auto- mobile a success. A number of the members of the State Florists' Association are going to Winona, Wednesday, July 20, to attend the meeting of the Northern Indiana Florists' Association. Herman Junge, of the Smith & Young Co., Cumberland, thinks he has the best device for hauling soil for filling benches that he has seen to date. It is a car, running on steel tracks, which can be dumped and put back in posi- tion in less than a minute. Mr. Junge intends to get a patent on this car and then put it on the market. Hans Kipke spent a few days in Chi- cago recently. John Rieman says fishing up the river has been poor so far this season. E. A. Nelson will pitch his camp on Eagle Creek next week. H. L. W. Northampton, Mass. — H. W. Field has bought an extensive tract of the Watson estate, fronting on Prospect street, has removed the fence and is preparing to merge the tract with his land just below it. The land extends from the street to the woods in the rear. Until it is needed for his own business, Mr. Field intends to permit the use of part of the tract as a play- ground for the children of the neighbor- hood. Already some swings have been put up.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 67 c Heacock's Large Palms in Cedar Tubs — Dur- able, Serviceable, and Good for Lots of Rough Handling. The "Ilea cock Way" of growing Palms means a lot more than devtloping ptrfect plants, thouph we're proud enough of that. It mtans Rrowing th»m— the large si^es especially— in substantially built tubs of Virginia cedar, well-hooped and neatly paitited. We have found, by careful trial that the larger sizes do better in tubs than In pots and here- after will supply our Kentias. in 7 Inches and above, in these cedar tubs. Tou will appreciate this fact because you can handle the outfit as you please, without danger of breaking it ; you can carry it around by the top with the assurance that the tub won't fall— and you know that a plant never fits rightly, once the pot has come off. Therefore the "tubbed" palm gjows. and ships, and handles, better than the potted one, and gives better satltfai tion in every way. Your customers, too. will find them just as ornamental as jardinieres, and easier to handle. Putting our palms in tubs because it makes them grow better, is only a single instance of the pains we take to grow Palms that will really ■ucce«4-ln., fine, Ic each. Order quick.

I have quite a number just beginning to bloom. There are long green worms boring holes in the stalks and destroy- ing the plants. I pulled the first plants affected and burned them, but there are more worms. What can I do to get rid of them? C. B. I do not know what particular cater- pillar is causing the damage to your gaillardias, but they undoubtedly can be destroyed by spraying. Arsenate of lead would be the best solution to use, at the rate of four pounds to fifty gal- lons of water, but this would whiten and somewhat disfigure the plants while blooming. Paris green at the rate of one ounce to fifteen gallons of water, or white hellebore, one ounce to three gallons of water, thoroughly sprayed over the plants, should clean out the pests, provided the poison is not washed off by rain for a few hours after being applied. C. W. FEBTHJZEB FOB SWEET PEAS. What amount of bone meal should be put in the soil for sweet peas in a house 23x200, which has 3,200 square feet of bench space? What amount of pul- verized sheep manure or shredded cat- tle manure should be put in the same house in lieu of rotted manure, the soil being rich from outside manuring? C. G. P. I would not advise the use of bone meal in the benches for sweet peas at sowing or planting time, unless the bone has been mixed in the soil for some time previously. A much better plan would be to apply it in the form of a top-dressing when the plants show the need of some food, preferably when they are flowering. For 3,200 square feet of bench space use 150 pounds as Caoe Stakes For Your Mums 6 to 8 ft., $7.00 per 1000 WM. ELLIOTT & SONS 4S V«s«y St., NEW YORK, H. T. Mention The Keview when you write.

If you use pulverized sheep manure and it is a good brand, a ton would not be too much to apply, as sweet peas like a generous soil. Of shredded cattle manure, it would be necessary to use half as much again of it to ac- complish the same results. If your soil has previously been well manured, the foregoing quantities well spaded in or mixed with the soil before being placed in the benches should suf- fice. One or two top-dressings of sheep manure or fine bone applied during the growing season are beneficial. I would use half a ton of the sheep manure at each top-dressing. C. W.

The Illinois mines, with the excep- tion of a few in the Belleville district, have been shut down on account of a miners' strike since March 31, and this has had a tendency to keep up the price on all bituminous coal because the sup- ply has been restricted chiefly to the West Virginia and Indiana fields. How- ever, it looks as though a settlement will be reached and work resumed some- time before August 1. This will be none too soon, as the shipping of coal is likely to be exceptionally heavy in the early fall, in an endeavor to fore- stall a shortage of cars that threatens to be even worse than last year. There are now only a third as many idle coal cars as there were a year ago at this time, and the indications point to a heavy increase in coal buying in the next few months. It seems, there- fore, as though nothing can prevent a more serious car famine this fall than has been experienced in many years. It therefore behooves the florists to have an ample stock on hand at the be- ginning of the season and run no risks of a freeze-up next winter. It is almost certain that the price will advance steadily from now on, so the wise ones will buy now, thereby saving much money, time and worry. USING 4-INCH PIPE. I intend to build two even-span houses, running east and west. Each house will be 20x86 feet, twelve feet to the ridge and six feet to the gutters. They will be connected. The north wall will be built of 8-inch concrete blocks to the gutter. The east gables will be glass down to within three feet of the ground, and the lower three feet will be concrete blocks. The south wall will have three feet of glass and three feet of double linch boards. The west gables will be joined to a shed. I intend to use 4-inch pipe, as I have some of it on hand. Will two overhead flows and four returns under the benches be sufficient in each house, to heat them to 55 degrees, with the out- side temperature at 10 degrees below zero? Should the flow pipes rise or fall to the farther end of the houses? Any information you can give me will be appreciated. I am located in southeast- ern Wisconsin. A. R. To heat the north house, seven 4-inch pipes will answer. Of these, two should be flows and the others returns. The 'aaut What W. J. Palmer & Son, Lancaster and Buffalo, New York, have to say of "DHROIT'' AUTOMATIC RETURN STEAM TRAPS "We have been using two of your 'Detroit' Traps tile past winter on a Gravity System and find tiiey lieep the pipe clear of conden- sation, therefore malcing the return do as much as the flow. We are able to heat with less number of pipe than formerly and keep the houses far more even in temperature." "Detroit" Traps will do the same for you. Catalogue No. 266 on Steam Traps.

The south house, which has three feet of glass in the side wall, should have eight 4-ineh pipes. Either two, three or four can be flows, according to the arrangement of the benches. The best circulation can be secured when the flow pipes have a slight fall, but, if the boiler is below the level, it is often more convenient to give a rise to the flows when 4-inch pipe is used. A SMALL HOUSE. Will you please tell me how to pipe a greenhouse, 18x38 feet; five feet six inches high on the south side, seven feet high on the north side and fourteen feet high in the center, with glass in both ends? There will be two benches, each six feet wide, with a walk eighteen inches wide at the sides and a 3-foot walk in the center. My boiler has a capacity of 450 feet. How many 1 14 -inch, l^^-inch or 2-inch pipes will be needed? What will be the best way to heat it to 70 de- grees at 20 degrees below zero? It is Wisconsin climate. The flows are 2-inch pipe. The boiler will be down about two and one-half feet below the return coil. W. I. S. BUT THE Taylor Automatic RETURN TRAP AND SAVE MONEY Write for our Guarantee and Best Prices TAYLOR STEAM TRAP CO.

It is inferred from the size of your plant that hot water is the style of heat- ing to be used. On this basis, using 1%- inch pipe with 2-inch flow pipes or ris- ers, it will be necessary to install twenty- one lines of lVi>-inch pipe to maintain a THREE VIOLET HOUSES.

Funeral work is about all the storemen have any call for, but there has been a good deal of that lately. Eoses and carnations are not extra good. Sweet peas are getting sliort of stem. Our dry, hot spell was broken with a lioavy shower July 3, and since then we liave had more rain than we needed. Various Notes. Julius Niednagel & Sons report that luisiness has been good with them. Ben Kramer reports a good business f'lr the last two weeks, Louis Fritsch will build one more liiiuse, 20x65 feet, for pot plants. He **''.vs business is quite good. Koyston & Fenton have their roses 1 anted and they are getting a good s':irt. They find it necessary to re- Ri ize their houses this summer, owing t' poor putty being used in the first !'• ice.

Sweet peas have been plentiful and of extremely good quality, consid- ering the dry weather. Rain has fallen only once since the middle of June; consequently plants of all kinds show the lack of moisture. The recently planted aster fields are especially in need of water. Preparations for the Convention. Fred W. Vick, vice president of the S. A. F. and chairman of the Rochester executive committee, says that the plans for entertaining the members of the S. A. F. during convention week are well under way. The sporting com- mittee has completed arrangements for the bowling and shooting contests, and plans have been perfected for an after- noon's outing at Manitou Beach, a beautiful lake resort, reached by a ten- mile trolley ride along the shore of Lake Ontario. Nor have the ladies been forgotten; Charles Ogsten is busy preparing a series of entertainments, including automobile rides, concerts, etc., that will especially please the ladies. Captains of bowling teams intending to compete in the bowling tournament at the convention are requested to com- municate at once with A. F. Vick, P. O. Box 613, Rochester, N. Y., the chairman of the S. A. F. sport committee. It is necessary that the list of participating teams be completed at once. The Grand Central Bowling Alleys have been en- gaged for the contests. The Grand Central is equipped with twelve Bruns- wick-Balke-Collender alleys and the 1910 pattern Backus pin-setters. Un- doubtedly these are the best alleys in the city. , Ample accommodations will be provided for both players and specta- tors. Various Notes. George B. Hart, wholesale florist, is installing a new cold storage plant in his warehouse.

P. Phowt BMrrowers, however, are so situated that Tt is difficult to procure cattle manure. Hence, other fertilizers must be made use of. By using several kinds you can produce resiilts nearly, if not quite, as irood as you could with the cattle manure. We use a great deal of stable manure now, as a base, adding sheep manure and shredded cattle manure to bring it up in the elements lacking in the stable manure. In your case I would not hesitate to use the sheep manure in the soil. How strong it should be used will depend on how it has been handled. If it has Itewn kept dry, so that it contains its full strength, you can mix it with the soil at the rate of about one part in fifteen. If it has lain outdoors and been leached by the rains you can use it in larger proportion. A few years ago we had a pile of the rough litter as it came from the sheep pens, lying outdoors. One of our men got onto this pile instead of the cattle manure when mulching a mum bed. He put it on a full inch thick, as he had been told, and, to our surprise and relief, no ill results followed. Had it not been leached considerably, wo feel sure the plants would have suf- fered. A. F. J. B. A SAMPLE OF SOIL. I am sending you, under separate cover, a sample of soil and should like to know whether it would be good for roses and carnations. It is from a low, swampy place. I had some potted roses snipped in and, as nearly as I can tell, the soil looked like this. If this is not suitable soil for the purpose, please advise me as to the best kind to use. S. & L. The sample of soil is not suitable for either roses or carnations; it is simply sour, swamp mud. Try to get a yellowish loam, with at least thirty-five per cent of clay. If you can find such a soil in old pasture land, take the top spit, six inches deep. and add to it decomposed cow manure in the proportion of four of soil to one of manure. Chop up and mix thor- oughly. In the course of four or five days it will be in good condition to bench. A sprinkling of bone meal over the bench previous to planting will be of great benefit. Ribes. ROSES WITH CARNATIONS. I wish to inquire if there is some free blooming white or pink rose that would do well in a carnation house. "Which is considered better, grafted or own-root stock? When sliould they be planted? A. 0. C. If the temperature of the carnation house does not fall below 'A degrees, several varieties of roses will do fairly well in it, although they would fare much better at 56 degrees. Bride or White Killarney would be suitable for white and Bridesmaid or Pink Killarney for pink. Grafted stock would be pref- erable under such conditions and they ought to be planted as soon as possible. Ribes. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. The Question of Feeding. The plants that were set out on the benches in May will now be benefited ill many cases by light applications of fertilizers in some form or other. The •juestion of feeding chrysanthemums is a large one. The average commercial grower does not, of course, feed nearly so heavily as the exhibition grower. In the first place, he does not have to get the last particle of size into the flower, as a small flower that has grown hardy stands shipping better and gives more satisfaction, and, in the second place, the cost of production's a large factor in determining whether the mum crop is a profitable one or not. I always figure, after a plant has been set out frem eight to ten weeks, that it has then arrived at that condi- tion of growth when a little feeding will be beneficial. This could be in the torm of a sprinkling of bone flour, cov- ered with a mulch of half an inch of well rotted manure, or in the form of waterings with liquid cow or sheep manure. Personally, I always like a light mulch on my beds. It keeps the roots cooler and the beds do not need soaking so often, but it also seems to roake the plant produce a great many more suckers, which is one phase that can well be dispensed with. Taking the Buds. Buds may be secured now on Golden Glow, Monrovia and October Frost, fight along as soon as they are pro- duced, as it is the early bud on these varieties that produces the heavy flower and swells the bank account. It is not wise to give the plants a heavy feeding just at the time they are setting buds, because, when the side shoots are pinched off, the growth is necessarily checked and all the strength of the plant is diverted into the tiny flower bud and the foliage. Midseason varieties that are produc- ing buds at this time should have the bud pinched out and the plant encour- aged to make further growth. It will be found that the second growth below the bud is almost invariably a much better growth to keep than the one next to the bud, as it frequently happens that the first growth will make three or four leaves and then produce another bud, instead of pushing right along and producing a healthy shoot. Attention must be given these hot days to watering and spraying. We make a practice of spraying our houses, side walls, roof, plants and beds sev- eral times during the day. This cools off the temperature nicely and is a great help to the plants in producing and holding large, luxuriant leaves, as evaporation is not nearly so rapid where the atmosphere is kept moist. Planting Late Varieties. Late varieties — that is, kinds in- tended for later flowering and flower- ing around Thanksgiving — can be planted any time now with profit. Chadwick does not get away nearly so rapidly as some other varieties, but it makes up for it when once it does get a start. These plants in the late house will, of course, be kept growing after the others have set buds, so if any buds appear at this time, or next month, they should be kept closely pinched off and the plants encouraged to make all the growth possible. If you have any plants that you are planning to flower in 6-inch pots, for single stems, they should be potted from the 2V^-inch to the 6-inch pots just as soon as they are ready to be shifted. It is the height of folly to let them get potbound at any stage of the game, and particu- larly just now, with the weather run- ning so warm and dry. Singles or any other varieties tlmt are intended to make specimen plants, should not be pinched any more, but should be tied into shape so that the finishing growth will not" be too stiff and formal. Thrlps and Other Pests. Caterpillars are beginning to show on the plants and should be closely looked out for. This is easy if one catches the colony just when the eggs are hatched, before they scatter over the plants. One squeeze of the thumb and finger and all is over, but if you let these caterpillars get big enough, it necessitates a great deal of labor and hand picking to clean them off again. The ladybug is now, in most cases, taking care of the green and black fly, but if these pests are at all numerous in the house, it is best to do a little 8 The Weekly Florists' Review* July 21, lOlf. fumigating. The house can be closed ilown about 9 o'clock in the evening and opened again by daylight, and under such conditions no harm will be done to the plants, but never let the sun rise on a closed house or when the house is sweating, as it tends to start loaf disease and other troubles. There are tiny j-ellowish white thrips in our section that do a great deal of damage if not closely followed uji. They are always on the under side of the leaf, and often, with a novice, it is not be- fore the plant shows unmistakable signs of not being happy that their pres- ence is detected. Look your plants over today and, if you see any signs of this trouble, get busy with a good sprayer and spray underneath the leaves, wash- ing off every leaf, commencing from the ground and going up. I have seen this little pest practically destroy a man 's labor of several months, simply because he did not know enough to wash the under side of the leaf as well as the top. C. H.

Lorraine begonias, while they may not appear to be making the progress we should like to see, will soon make up for it when the first cool night of autumn arrives. Growers not well ac- quainted with these begonias and their characteristics sometimes become dis- couraged at their slow rate of growth in the hottest summer months, but so long as they are healthy no concern need be felt. Do not allow them to get potbound before giving them a shift. Be sure not to use a stiff, heavy compost. What they revel in is a soil composed of equal parts of fibrous loam, flaky leaf -mold and well decayed cow manure or screen- ings from an old hotbed, adding a good dash of sharp sand. A light, rich and porous compost is what they specially like. Keep runaway shoots pinched back. Remove all flowers. Do not al- low scum to form on the surface of the soil. Give the plants a fresh stand be- fore they crowd each other, and grow them moderately warm. They like a place quite close to the glass and should not be heavily shaded. Though heavy shading might produce green looking fdants, they would be soft and spind- ing compared with those grown in stronger light. Cyclamens. ^Vhile torrid weather continues, cyc- lamens, provided they are being grown in coldframes, will be much better with- out any sashes over them at all, except when there are signs of torrential rain. If lath shadings are used and run over the beds during bright sunshine, the plants will be cooler and do much better without any glass covering. Play the hose over the shading twice or thrice a day, just sufficiently to damp over and at the same time cool and refresh the plants. Be sure the shad- ings are raised so that a good current of air can blow in at both the top and bottom; four to six inches of an eleva- tion will suffice. Cyclamens do not like hot weather and, like quite a few other plants, do not raj^He rapid headwaj' in July and August. The most forward plants should now be sufficiently strong to go into 6-inch pots. In potting, do not bury the corm; it should be just suffi- ciently deep in the soil to hold the plant firm. Too high an elevation, with a shaky top, means a worthless plant and is even worse than burying it. The soil should be well firmed and be sure to allow a liberal space for water. Two- thirds good fibrous loam and one-third decayed cow manure, passed through a half-inch screen, forms a good potting medium. Add to the foregoing some sharp sand, fine broken charcoal and a 3-inch potful of Clay's fertilizer to each bushel of soil. Foinsettias. Cuttings of poinsettias can be in- serted until the middle of August, and the late ones, while they will not make large bracts, are really preferable for making up into pans, owing to their dwarfness. In putting in cuttings dur- ing this hot weather, trim the leaves oflf quite closely and let the cuttings lie in a pail of water half an hour, to help plump them up. If the sand is sharp, so that water passes away 'freely, there should be little trouble from damping off. Be sure to examine the cutting's frequently and, just as soon as they have made roots an inch long, pot them. If left longer the roots will be broken; the cuttings will soon harden and never make as satisfactory plants as if potted more promptly. The earliest rooted cuttings are, or soon should be, planted out in benches. This is the way to get big bracts for Christmas, but be sure to grow them in a house where a minimum tempera- ture of 60 to 65 degrees can be main tained while the bracts are developing. Any compost suitable for carnations or chrysanthemums will grow first-class poinsettias. Plants in pots should not receive any shade when once they have becom.e established in their first pots. No plant requires more careful water- ing if good foliage is wanted. The drainage in the pots or pans should be fairly liberal. Avoid using too much manure in the soil, as it is better to supply this later, in the way of top- dressings or waterings with liquid manure. Achimenes. Achimenes are not a great deal grown commercially, but are useful in July and August, when flowering plants are none too plentiful. If in pots or pans, light stakes should be used for each flowering stem before the blooms start to open. Leave these a little longer than the shoots are, as they will be the better of another tie later, to keep them erect. These are . excellent basket plants, and to display their full beauty they should be grown in this way, where flowering basket plants can be used in summer. Treatment such as has been advised for gloxinias, in former issues, answers well for achimenes. A cool, airy house, well shaded, is what they want in summer. Too often they are seen in so-called stove houses, drawn and spindling, a mere ghost of what they should be. For window or piazza boxes, where they are not ex- posed to sun or wind, achimenes are satisfactory summer plants. The large flowered varieties are the only ones worth growing. Adiantums. The sale for maidenhair fronds is now at its lowest. Every effort should be made to build up strong plants, which will have an abundance of firm, dark green, well ripened fronds when the real selling season again opens. The houses should have sufficient shade to make the fronds dark in color. The pots should never suffer from want of water, or a lamentable loss of foliage is bound to result. Feeding should be given regularly. A good liquid is soot and cow manure. The former helps to Gncinnati Florists' Society at Gus Adrian's, July H. JULT 21, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review. keep the fronds a fine, rich green color and might, with advantage, be more generally used, not only on adiantums, but on all other ferns, as well as palms ;ind foliage plants generally. If there is no suitable greenhouse for ;irowing adiantums in summer, a well- ihaded frame should be used. In this the ;rrowth will be far better than in even The best built greenhouse, as the plants ire close to the glass, and their growth ,vill surprise those who have never yet ried this method of culture. Look out or snails. Scatter lime about their jiaunts and lay baits, in the way of cabbage or lettuce leaves and slices of oot crops, examining them at least once a day. Clerodendron Fallax. The climbing clerodendrons, such as ThomsonsB and Balfourianum, are old Javorites and much better known than the shrubby section. Of the latter class C. fallax, a native of Java, has been a popular pot plant in Europe for many years, and is to a limited extent i^rown in America. It flowers during the summer months, and its large, ter- minal, erect panicles of rich scarlet flowers are showy and last well in bloom. The large, dark green cordate- ovate leaves are in themselves quite handsome. While classed as a tropical plant, this clerodendron grows capitally in either a frame or ordinary greenhouse in sum- mer. Its propagation is easy; seeds germinate readily, and if the^ are sown in January, strong blooming plants may be had the first season. Soft-wood cuttings root in a brisk heat, while jiieces of stem cut up in short lengths will also soon produce growths in a warm propagating bed. Among summer flowering pot plants, Clerodendron fal- lax is well worthy of the attention of florists. Genistas. Genistas are making excellent growth in spite of the hot weather. Pots are much better plunged to the brim in ashes or loam during the summer months. This reduces the watering, keeps the roots cooler and moister and the plants grow much better. Young stock propagated in late winter should now be ready to go into 5-inch or <)inch pots. Keep them well pinched i'nd they will do much better outdoors on a bed of ashes than in the green- liouses. Keep older plants well sheared, To make them thick and bushy. This work should be done at least once in iliree weeks. Use the "hose freely over 'lie plants in hot, dry weather. A.NOTHEE FORMULA FOR PUTTY. In a recent issue of The Eeview a -ubscriber inquired how to compound ' a greenhouse putty, for use in a rutty bulb, that will not run in warm " oather or heave in cold weather, and hat will be pliable at all seasons. ' ' A oply to this inquiry appeared in The veview of July 14, page 9, giving com- ^ iete directions as to the making of a iquid putty with whiting, linseed oil tnd Japan drier, A. C. Canfield, of Springfield, III., now ubmits another formula, which is 'juite simple, and which, he says, he '':i8 used satisfactorily for the last nght years. It is as follows: One- 'hird lard oil, two-thirds linseed oil and f^nough whiting to produce the desired ^consistency. Herbert Greensmith, HERBERT GREENSMITH. The powers that be in Cincinnati ex- ercise a nice discrimination in their selection of park officials. It is not in every city that the counsels of the florists are heeded in park matters, but in Cincinnati for years and years a florist has been superintendent of the park system; not one florist, but one florist after another. The result of having trained florists in charge of park work is apparent in the fine con- dition of the Cincinnati parks, not only this year but in other years, and in increasing ratio each year. Herbert Greensmith was appointed superintendept of parks at Cincinnati at a comparatively recent date, but his training, particularly with hardy plants, has been the work of a life- time. Mr. Greensmith is a gentleman of erudition, and there are in this coun- try few better authorities on hardj' perennials. For years he was asso- ciated with the Dreer establishment at Riverton, N. J. The Dreer institution does not often let one of its men get away, but when one does leave that ex- ceedingly well-managed place to go into the service of the public, that por- tion of the public that gains his services almost invariably is to be congratu- lated. Mr. Greensmith 's commercial train- ing resulted in his quick affiliation with the trade interests at Cincinnati, and at the last meeting of the Cin- cinnati Florists' Club he was elected a director of that organization for a three years' term. The portrait repro- duced herewith is from a photograph made within the week. SNAPS AND CALLAS FOR MARKET. In The Review for June 30, the an- swer to the inquiry of J. G. S. B. re- garding snapdragons m.ade me think I should like to give my experience and also ask a few questions. Last fall I took up and benched a few snaps that had bloomed in the field. I cut fine spikes of blooms all winter and spring until the first part of June, some spikes measuring over five feet, and it seemed the longer they bloomed the better they got. I always cut them back to about three or four inches of the ground, when they would break again. Now, the question I would like to ask is this: Having had such good success with snaps, would it be profitable to grow them for wholesale markets, and also would callas pay as a wholesale cut flower, as our soil seems to be well adapted to their culture? We are lo- cated in Iowa. G. H. In wholesale markets there usually is a good demand for snapdragons that are of really first-class quality. Long, straight stems are a necessity. Nothing else is worth sending in. Pink sells best, after that yellow and white.

The houses should have sufhcient shade to make the fronds dark in color. The pots should never siifl'er from want of water, or a lamentable loss of foliage is bound to result.

SEASONABLE SEED SOWING. Pansies. From July 20 to August 15 pansy seed should be sown, the earlier date being for the more northerly states and the Tater period for the south. As a general rule, the first week in August is selected by a majority of the large growers as a suitable date. There are a number of American specialists who handle excellent, large-flowered strains of pansy seed. The bulk of this, how- ever, comes from Europe. Trimardeau Giant, either mixed or in separate shades, is an excellent pansy, possessing a robust constitution. Fine named va- rieties of this pansy are: Queen of the Blues, lavender blue; Snow Queen, pure white; Emperor William, fine dark blue; Golden Gem, clear yellow, and King of Blacks, coal black. Gassier 's Giant is a grand strain, the big flowers being beautifully blotched. Where rich red and wine shades are wanted, nothing can beat Mme. Ferret. The seedlings, however, do not grow so lustily as the Trimardeau varieties. Seed sowing is usually done in the open by the large specialists, the beds Be sure to keep the ground moist, but let in a good current of air, top and bottom, as a close, stuflfy atmosphere will cause the little seedlings to damp off. Bedding Violas. Bedding violas have smaller flowers than pansies and are minus the blotches peculiar to the latter. They are, how- ever, much freer blooming and for dot- ting among such bulbs as hyacinths and tulips, or making separate beds in par- tial shade, they are well worthy of more attention. Their treatment is pre- cisely the same as recommended for pansies. Sow the seed broadcast, and when of suflScient size transplant three inches apart each way in coldframes or outdoors in beds on well drained ground, where water cannot lie. Such sorts as Admiration, dark blue; Mauve Queen, light blue; White Perfection, pure white; Blue Perfection, mauve, and grandiflora lutea, golden yellow, are all strictly first-class. Myosotis. Myosotis always meets with a big sale in the spring months. Like the violas, it is splendid for filling in be- tween bulbs, and there is also a strong call for it for cemetery planting. The first week in August is sufficiently early to sow myosotis, as the seedlings grow rapidly. For spring bedding the variety sylvatica, of spreading and robust habit, is the best. For. pot culture or planting along the edges- of benches, M. 1 , -^ Freesia Ptmty. being covered by a light mulch until germination takes place. Where at most a few thousand plants only are needed, a better and surer plan is tcf sow in coldframes in a compost of leaf-mold and loam. Some old, well decayed hot- bed manure can also be added with benefit. After sowing, soak the soil well and cover with board shutters, mats or heavy cloth until the seedlings germinate. Then let light in gradually. dissitiflora is excellent, as is the va- riety Royal Blue, which latter carries extra strong stems. Where compact plants are wanted for setting in bas- kets, nothing can be better than the variety Alpestris Victoria, procurable in separate shades of blue, pink and pure white. ■ The greatest seller is, of course, blue, but there are some cus- tomers who are quite carried away with the pink variety. These myosotis are excellent for planting in the rock gar- den or for natural planting in any place where they can have a little shade. Double Daisies. Double daisies need not be sown be fore the beginning or middle of August as they grow quickly. They are satis- factory as a groundwork in bulb beds and, given some shade and water, will bloom all summer. They sell well put up in small baskets in spring and, while they will never be disposed of in any such quantities as pansies, it will pay any country florist to grow a few hun- dreds or thousands for spring trade. Seed is procurable in either mixtures or separate shades of pink and white. The flowers come quite double from seed. Treated the same as pansies, they will succeed nicely. FBEESIAS. The bulbs of freesias will be procur- able within a few days and, where a batch is wanted for Christmas or New Year's, the bulbs should be placed in flats or large pans at once. For com- post, two-thirds well decayed fibrous loam, one-third cow manure, well dried and passed through a %-inch screen, and to which is added some flaky leaf- mold and a good dash of sharp sand, will be found all right. Freesias do well in flats containing four inches of soil, or in pans ten to twelve inches in diam- eter, which can be set on shelves. The latter method of culture gives better spikes than the flats. The finest of all freesias is Fischer's Purity, but a good strain of refracta alba, when well grown, is not to be despised. In planting just cover the bulbs. Set the pans or flats on a cool cellar floor, or in coldframes. The former is best. Give a good watering and keep shaded until growth has started, when light must be given. Frame culture until the end of September is the best. FLOWEE SHOWS IN LONDON. Boyai Horticultural Society. Two great shows have just been heM in London — the summer show of th^ Royal Horticultural Society, at Holland Park, and the summer show of the Na tional Rose Society, at the Royal Bo- tanic Gardens. The dominant feature of the Horti cultural Society's show was hardy flow ers, set up in great profusion by thr principal growers. In all the colleo- tions delphiniums were the leading flow ers. Rock garden and Japanese garden exhibits were popular and there werr, in addition, grand banks of orchids and carnations and fine groups of roso^ and sweet peas. Amos Perry, Enfield, outdistanced a;i exhibitors with delphiniums, putting u < huge groups of stately spikes in grenf- variety and obtaining awards of merit for Lamartini and Belladonna senii plena. The new and popular delphin- ium, Rev. E. Lascelles, was put up ii^ excellent form by the raisers, A. A- Walters & Son, Bath. Frank Lilley. Guernsey, specialized in early flowerin;? gladioli, showing eight or ten splendid varieties and obtaining an award ot merit for King Edward VII. In roses the sensation of the day was Juliet, from William Paul & Sons, Wal- tham Cross; this received a first-clafs certificate. It is difficult to describe the colors — pink and rose, shot with July 21, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 11 gold. Alex. Dickson & Sons, Newtown- :irds, received awards of merit for Mrs. Foley Hobbs and Mary, Countess of Ilchester. The Lyon rose dominated the rose section. Fine blooms were in evidence from Stuart Low & Co. Bush Hill Park; I'aul & Son, Cheshunt; Ben Cant & Son, Colchester, and many others. It is in great demand. Hobbies, Ltd., Dereham, were strongly represented by Wichuraianas in variety, in standards and dwarfs. All the leading carnation men were in evidence with splendid vases of blooms, notably Stuart Low & Co.; W. II. Page, Hampton; A. F. Dutton, Iver; II. Burnett, Guernsey; C. Engelmann, Saflfron Walden, etc. Blackmore & Langdon, Bath, exbib- ited marvelous begonias and received an award of merit for Mrs. W. L. Ainslie. In orchids, Stuart Low & Co. were again to the front, receiving a first- class certificate for Cattleya Mendellii, variety Stuart Low. Sapder & Sons, Bruges and St. Albans, received a sim- ilar honor for Miltonia vexillaria Lam- beaniana, and awards of merit for Cat- tleya Mendellii King George, Cypripe- dium Curtisii, variety Sander, and Cat- tleya Dietrichiana. Novelties worthy of note were: So- denia, a bright, rosy crimson polyantha rose from C. Weigand, Germany; Pink Pearl, an early flowering gladiolus raised by P. Vos, Sassenheim, Holland; Queen of the Balcony, a scarlet ivy- leaved pelargonium from W. Leib, Cre- feld, Germany, and Lathyrus Pink Pearl, from Hobbies, Ltd., Dereham. National Bose Show. This was held July 8 and was an ex- tensive show, of great beauty. In new varieties the prize of honor is the so- ciety's gold medal, and though there were many novelties, some of great beauty and promise, only four secured the coveted award; namely, Edward Mawley, a dark crimson hybrid tea, the sensation of the show, from McGredy & Son, Portadown, Ireland; Mrs. Joseph H. Welch, pink, from the same firm; Lady Hillingdon, from Lowe & Shaw- yer, Ltd., Uxbridge, and Eayon d'Or, from A. E. Waddell. Silver gilt medals were awarded to Evelyn Dauntsey, pink, from S. Mc- Oredy & Son; Mrs. George Shawyer, from Lowe & Shawyer; St. Helena, from B. B. Cant & Co., Colchester, and -Mrs. Foley Hobbs, from Alex. Dickson •fc Sons, Newtownards. The champion trophy, for seventy- two blooms, was won by Alex. Dickson iV Sons. In the hybrid tea section, Hugh I'ickson, Belfast, was the winner, and in the tea and noisette class, George I'rince, Oxford. For decorative roses the leading prize vinners were J. Mattock and I^ank * ant & Co.; for groups of roses, George ■ aul & Sons, Hobbies, Ltd., and J. tattock; for twelve vases of new seed- 1 ng roses, Hugh Dickson, first; Alex- ; nder Dickson & Son, second. The class for table decorations brought out a strong competition and Many lovely decorative effects were pro- ' uced, the first prize going to a table < ecorated with the Lyon rose; Irish I'legance, second. American Visitors. Among the American visitors to the foregoing shows, E. G. Hill, Bichmond, ^nd., and S. J. Goddard, Framingham, Baseball and Cresceai. Mass., were keen scrutinizers of roses, carnations and other subjects, especially the novelties. They were the guests of the Perpetual Flowering Carnation So- ciety, July 5. Mr. Hill entertained the members in capital style with a chat on carnations and, by special request, he gave his views on the season's Amer- ican novelties. Taking them one by one, he reviewed their salient features, greatly to the interest and delight of his English audience, humorously re- marking at the outset that, if he went wrong, Mr. Goddard would pull him up. Mr. Goddard substantiated Mr. Hill's views and spoke mainly on the exhibits he had seen that day at Holland Park. A discussion followed, and both Americans were most enthusiastically thanked for their genial speeches. Bee. BASEBALL AND CBESCENT. Probably as unusual a design as any retail florist ever was called on to make was th^t demanded of Eocklin & Leh- maB, Sioux City, la., for which nothing would do but a crescent on base, with which was to be combined a representa- tion of a baseball, the design being for the players in the Sioux City League. How M. Eocklin met the unusual re- quirements of the case is shown in the accompanying illustration, which is from a photograph which the purchas- ers had made, which latter fact throws a side light on how satisfactorily the job was done. The design stood six feet high; the base was made with Sprengeri and cycas leaves for green and with water lilies, Easter lilies and a few roses. The crescent was made in the conventional form, with an edging of galax leaves and a background of asters, upon which were set roses and water lilies. The representation of the baseball was attached to the upper point of the crescent by a wire which was covered by the chiffon bow. In- stead of making the ball round, only a hemisphere was made, on a background of galax. "White carnations were used for the leather, with red carnations representing the stitches. The initials of the league were put on with the pat- ent immortelle letters. The average florist doubtless would consider this a better design had its special feature been omitted, but when customers want something of this char- acter it usually indicates their willing- ness to pay a special price to get it, and when the ideas are well carried out better satisfaction for the customer usually results than where the florist tries to change the course of events and sell something more conventional. Logansport, Ind. — C. Kielsing & Son will erect two connected iron-frame greenhouses, each 32x325. The George M. Garland Co. material will be used. 10 The Weekly Florists' Re vie w* July 21, 1010.

BEMOVINa CEMENT FBOM TILE. Is there anything that will loosen Portland cement after it becomes set and dried hard? We have a tile chim- ney which we intend to tear down, and we wish to remove the cement without injury to the tile. C L. W. Strong solutions of hydrochloride and sulphuric acid have slight effect upon concrete or cement sand mortar. Under the circumstances, it will be impossible for you, perhaps, to remove the mortar joint from the tile with chisels, as the 'joints are not easily accessible. If this is the case, I can see no way of apply- ing acid to the joints in such a manner that it will be effective. ' If the tile chimney can be taken down and the joints broken with a chisel or by some other method, the cement mortar can possibly be cleaned from the tile with a commercial solu- tion of either of the above named acids and a wire brush. If, however, the oemont mortar is first-class, I have no doubt but what the cost of breaking the joints and cleaning the tile will be muca more than that of new tile. ONE'S OWN MISTAKES. If an express company gives a receipt for a shipment to be forwarded to a specified destination and the package is in error marked to another place and so forwarded, are the shippers under obli- gations to pay the extra charge, or should they pay only the tariff to the point specified in the receipt? If the same thing occurs and the package con- tains articles of a perishable nature, is the express company under legal obliga- tions to pay shipper for loss sustained! TLe shipper is bound to pay express charges in this case to the place to which the direction on the package indi- cated that it was to be carried. If the articles were of a perishable nature, and were lost by reason of the mistake, the shipper must bear the loss. The mistake was made by the shipper, and it is proper that he should bear all resulting loss. He gave the direction that the company put upon the receipt, and he nlso marked the package, and any mis- take that was made was his mistake in the first place. It might have been pos- sible for the company to discover it more promptly, by extra vigilance, but a carrier is not bound to assume that the shipper will make mistakes of this Kind, and to be specially upon the look- out for them. — Journal of Commerce. TAX ON GROWING STOCK. I write you in regard to a little mat- ter I saw in The Review a few months ago. I have mislaid the copy and am unable to find the facts. I was notified a few days ago to appear before the city board of tax review to answer why I had not paid a tax on my greenhouse stock. I am under the impression that the article I saw in The Review stated it was tried in court and that we were not to pay a tax on our growing stock. Could you at once write me where I can find out the facts of the matter t Any information you can give me will be "thankfully received. R. B. The Review has published a consider- able number of articles regarding taxa- tion of florists' growing crops. Laws vary in the different states, so that con- ditions are not similar, but in general the trouble arises through the efforts of local taxing officials to raise revenue; in their eagerness they go beyond the limits of the state laws under which they work. There are only two things to be done: You should go to your taxing body and make a strong but good-natured state- ment of the facts; endeavor to show the taxing authorities that the florists' growing crops in the benches are in the same class with farmers' growing crops, which are not taxable. If you do not succeed in getting the assessment ad- justed to your satisfaction, the only other thing to do is to hire a lawyer, Tbe Editor Is pleased \ehen a Reader presents his Ideas on any subject treated In As experience Is tbe best teacber, so do ^re learn fastest by an exciianse of experiences. Many valuable points are brouebt out by discussion. Good penmanship, spellinsf and grammar, though desirable, are not necessary. Write as you would talk when doing your best. WX SHA.LL, BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM TOU but usually taxing bodies are reason- able and it is possible to show them that such stock as carnation and rose plants growing in the bench have no taxable value. CINCH BUGS ON ASTERS. A fly, one of which you will find in the enclosed envelope, stings or taps the stems from a half-inch to five inches under the bud of the asters. The buds then wither. This insect is of a species somewhere between a mosquito and a common house-fly in size and appear- ance. Can you tell us what to do to kill these pests? D. & W. The cinch bug, which annually does a great deal of damage to chrysanthe- mums when grown outdoors, also to Pyrethrum uliginosum, asters and other members of the compositae family, is a hard pest to fight. Growers of chrys- anthemums in pots outdoors sometimes use a framework of mosquito screen- ing, with which to enclose their plants. Poisons are of no avail. Soapy and nicotine solutions seem equally futile. Spraying with some bitter tasting liquid, such as is obtained by soaking quassia chips in water, is the best remedy I have tried, but even this is not a complete success. I am inclined to think that by using kerosene emul- sion, or Whale Oil soap in conjunction with the quassia chip extract that the pests may be tempted to give the plants a wide berth. Perhaps some other read ers can give us some helpful sugges tidns on this subject. C. W. MOTES IN GREENHOUSE. At the present time I am troubled by a kind of tiny moth. They invade my greenhouses by the hundreds and seem to damage chiefly chrysanthe mums, heliotropes and cinerarias. I have never been troubled by them be- fore, and I would be glad to know of some way to get rid of them. I have used nicotine fumigation and spraying, but of no avail. I am enclosing some of the moths and caterpillars so you can see what they are. T. B. This particular moth I have not seen before. It is much smaller than the common white butterfly, so destructive sometimes on chrysanthemums, mig- nonette, cinerarias, etc., and of a brown color. Fumigation; if persisted in, should account for many of the moths them- selves. Try fly papers also to catch them. Spraying with some poison is necessary to kill the larvae, which do the real damage. Paris green is liable to burn the leaves. Arsenate of lead will rather disfigure them. Try white hellebore at the rate of one pound to fifteen or twenty gallons of water, di- recting it below the leaves, or it can be applied in powder form through a pair of sulphur bellows, damping over the foliage first to make it adhere. If you keep up the fumigation, selecting the coolest nights for this operation, and use the hellebore, you should speedily get the upper hand of j'our foes . C. W. PHLOX AND HOLLYHOCKS. I wish to grow a number of perennial phlox and hollyhocks to bloom next summer. Can I sow seed now and ob- tain blooming plants by July 1, 1911, in this Arkansas climate? Is it better to sow the seed in greenhouses or in frames, and do the seedlings require any shade? G. T. D. Hollyhock seed should be sown now in order to get strong plants for blooming with you about July 1 next year. The seed can be sown either outdoors or in a coldframe. I prefer the latter, as the seed can be watered, insuring better germination. Shading until the seed lings are up is an advantage. You cannot now get good plants of perennial phlox from either seed or cut- tings. The best method of propagation is from cuttings taken when the plant? commence to grow in spring. Root these in sand, as you would chrysanthemums. Plant out in nursery rows and you will get fine plants for selling in fall or spring. You can also increase stock by dividing old clumps, but cuttings give better results. Your best plan now would be to buy some field-grown plants of the phlox this fall. They are better planted in October rather than in the spring. C. W.

The accompanying illustrations are typical of a great number of florists' establishments the country over, though this one chances to be located at Den- ver, Colo., which is one of the stepping stones of the trade, between the central west and the Pacific coast. This is the residence and range ,of Thurston H. U. Smith, who does a general retail busi- ness. The location, at 2961 Lawrence street, is well adapted to the purpose and Mr. Smith has gathered about him- self facilities for handling about any- thing that comes along, in plant rent- ing, funeral designs or garden work, ile believes in practicing what all flo- rists should preach and his vine-clad res- idence is surrounded by a well-kept flower garden that both brings orders and supplies the stock to fill them. Having only three greenhouses, Mr. Smith must buy a large part of the stock he uses. The longest house, 104 feet, shows in one of the pictures. The two other houses, on the other side of this, are each forty-four feet long. THE POSSIBILITIES OP TODAY. It is generally admitted that the business problem is to reach the buyer. When material is produced it is often liard, very hard, to find an outlet for it •it paying prices. An outlet can gener- illy be found for plants or flowers at .-'ome price, but competition and the tact that so many customers must be tompted make ruinously low prices lasy. Under these conditions it is espe- < ially interesting to see what the ^""ight minds in our business are doing ■ ''day. An instance that occurred in Philadel- ■tiia during May and June is the distri- ";ition by one of our hustling florists of ' "0. blue rose. He was able to purchase a . "od supply of this novelty and decided '> put it on the market. His idea was ' ''at, owing to remoteness of his estab- ishment from the heart of the city, it "ould be unwise to have his customers >r the blue rose come in person, as this »^ould only increase his selling expenses. '•e therefore gave a mailing address ""ly in his attractively worded offers published in the daily papers. The first i'oint to be decided after this was the i'rice of the rose. It had been pur- 'nased at $10 per hundred in small pots. Therefore 50 cents seemed to in- 'rure a satisfactory profit after deduct- ing all expenses for packing and mail- "ig- Upon second thought, however, it seemed easier for the customer to slip a dollar note in his envelope than coin, and then the dollar note has the addi- tional advantage of enhancing the value of the purchase. So it was decided that the selling price should be $1 each. Here is a sample of the offer: Wo are introducing this beautiful color, for which we have waited centuries. Healthy, liviug. perfectly hardy plants, grown and shipped in (lower pots. Sent prepaid on Receipt of $1. Will hear in abundance year after year. This brought results; later it was de- cided to improve on the offer by giving two roses for $1.50, your own rose for $1 and a discount of 50 cents on your friend's rose if you secured the order. With the plant sent to each buyer was a neat little slip saying that if you could get the names of three friends whom you considered likely to buy the blue roses or other horticultural prod- ucts you would receive another blue rose for 50 cents. A second slip, at- tractively worded, was also sent to each customer. Here it is: Roses without number there are — dozens and hundreds of every imaginable tint and shade, from cold, glittering snow white, through all the delicate modulation of color in pale tints of salmon, flesh and pink and deepest crimson, tn a color so darlc that it might almost be culled black — and yet, with all this lavish and bounti- ful distribution, blue has persistently evaded the efforts even of those who have devoted their lives to It. But it is here at last, and it has remained for this first decade of tlie twentieth century, which has seen the discovery of the North Pole, the practical application of the flying machine, and development of many other heretofore "impos sible" things, to witness this latest triumph iu the realm of growing things — The Blue Rose. The easiest way to describe It is to say it is a Blue Crimson Rambler — that Is, imagine a climbing Rose with all the strength and vigor of the Crimson Rambler, covering immense spaces with Its wondrous heavy canes and large, splen- did foliage, and bearing immense trusses of Roses, all the way from twenty to 100 In nnm her, but, instead of tiie gorgeous crimson flowers we all know so well, picture it in your mind with similar clusters of exquisitely beautiful Violet Blue Roses. The Rose World is wild about the Blue Roses, and we e-vpect even our enormous stock of the plants to be speedily exhausted. This wonderful production of the heretofore elusive color in the Rose World is a seedlius from the Crimson Rambler discovered by a pool Uennan florist. What a beautiful effect can be prolo. 12 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ .ll I.V L'l. 1!»10. REMOVING CEMENT FROM TILE.

STORING BEGONIAS. Will you please inform me as to th( best way to dry and store tuberous rooted begonias? I have never been able to carry them through the winter; they always suffered with dry rot. A. U. M. Do not dry off your begonias too sud denly. This is a common error and :i fertile cause of the tubers dry-fotting in winter. When the tops are entirely decayed and the soil about dry, so that it readily falls away, you can shake out the tubers and pack them in fine sawdust, sand or loam, storing them on a shelf in a dry room or cellar, where the temperature in winter runs from 45 to 50 degrees. A high temperature, such as suits fancy caladuims and glox inias, is unsuitable for tuberous be gonias. The tubers can be packed in boxes or bags, the former being prefer- able. C. W.

The long drought, lasting over a month, is broken and the hot wave has passed. Florists, especially the grow- ers of gladioli and asters, will feel the disastrous effects of the prolonged heat. It will take an abundance of rain and a much lower temperature to make amends for the injury. Shipments fell off rapidly, not only of roses, but of every variety of cut flow- ers, toward the last of the week and in the clean-up it was almost what the wholesalers call "a good Saturday." Prices did not advance, but there was nothing worth while left when the day was over. Quality has not improved. The growers are throwing out the old stock and everyone is now preparing for the coming season. With 3 cents as top for roses and 1 cent for carna- tions, quotations on the mediocre grades and the rest of the shipments can bet- ter be imagined than described. Thou- sands of carnations were cleaned up daily at 20 cents per hundred. Orchids are not advancing above the usual sum- mer rates, and the demand is not equal BERGER BROTHERS WHOLESALE FLORISTS 1305 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

Gladioli are abundant notwithstanding the dry weather, and doubtless before the end of the month 50 cents per hundred, as usual, will buy all but the new varieties of merit and the old standby, America, which has lost none of its popularity. The outdoor grown sweet peas are lacking in size and quality. Various Notes. The interest in the convention grows daily. The Florists' Club not only will have an abundance of good things on its special train, but the transportation committee, enthused by Chairman Traendly, has arranged to dispense the club's hospitality at the Summit house and give the excursionists an elaborate dinner free of all expense. The whole sixth floor of the Seneca hotel has been enga'ged for the New York Florists' Club. Better write Chairman Frank H. Traendly and book your room now. All of the new stores on West Twenty-eighth street, except two, are now complete and compare favorably with any in the wholesale section. It is now rumored that the Philadel- phia cut flower house, that plans to start a branch here, will locate at 109 West Twenty-eighth street. Many of the wholesalers have sent their families to their farms or the mountains, and the week-end visits are growing in number and popularity. The principals owning country houses in the hills or by the sounding sea, increase in number yearly. Those who do not go to the country are touring in autoa or traveling in Europe.

The firm is also building a curved-eave house of four compartments for Mrs. Bordon Halliday, of Wallkill, N. Y.

ALBANY, N. Y. The July meeting of the Albany Flo- rists' Club vpas held at the home of the president, Frederick Goldring, at Sling- erlan^B. Chairman F. A. Danker, of the com- mittee having in charge the flower show held last November, made his final report and was discharged from his duties. The report showed the bal- ance on hand to be $17.06, with the sum of $42.75 still due the club for tickets still out and not accounted for. The officers and members of the club expressed themselves as well satisfied with the showing made and hope that the second annual show will be even more successful.

WOBK OF SEEDSMEN'S ATTORNEY From the records of the American Seed Trade Association it appears that sixteen bills affecting seedsmen were introduced in congress and state legis- latures during the last legislative year. The counsel for the association, Curtis Nye Smith, of Boston, had arranged for early information of these and President J. C. Bobinson in his annual address, speaking of the work of coun- sel, said: "All of these were promptly reported — that is, within a day or two after their filing — to the officers of this association and to members residing in the state affected by the bill. In some cases of states distant from Boston telegrams announcing the filing of bills were sent. "A year ago last April the Michigan seedsmen received first information from counsel about a Michigan seed bill, which was promptly and satisfac- torily amended. First information from counsel was likewise received in July and August of highly objectionable seed bills in Georgia and Alabama. Both bills were killed through the efforts of local seedsmen. This promptness is pre- cisely one of the things desired, for it enables interested seedsmen to busy themselves in objecting to the bill at the outset, when their arguments have some effect. You will recollect that formerly some of these bills, notably the New Hampshire seed law, became laws before the seed trade even heard of the bills. Moreover, counsel gave ad- vice about the various objections to these bills, how to amend, the legal ef- fect of the bills, or parts thereof, etc., thus materially assisting our members. In one state the officer in charge of the bill had a correspondence with counsel in regard to objections to a seed bill, and these letters disclose an assent of the officer to our counsel's arguments. At any rate — whether due to this cause or to others, I am not prepared to say — the bill died in committee. "In preparing for the important con- ference at Boston in December, 1909, between the committees of this associa- tion and of the Official Seed Analysts In regard to the uniform state seed bill, your committee asked counsel to pre- pare a bill of this nature. This he did, after studying the laws of the various states and countries. This bill, with alterations, was finally adopted by both committees and by the convention of analysts and is known as the "Boston Bill." Counsel also prepared a federal bOl on similar lines, but adaptable to the requirements of federal legislation. Connsel also attended the meeting of yonr legislative committee at Chicago, in February. "It is perhaps not improper to insert in this report that counsel, at the ex- pense of a kindred association, visited Nashville, Tenn., and argued a matter of some importance to seedsmen before the attorney-general of Tennessee, and seenred a reversal of an objectionable order of the commissioner of agricul- ture of that state.

Cases regarding the non-warranty, disclaimer clauses, etc., can also be obtained. Opinions on the constitutionality of seed laws have been drawn up by counsel, and, in case seeds- men desire to contest certain seed laws, the brief can be supplied. "As to counsel's confidential work for members, I am not in a position to speak except from hearsay. I under- stand he is called upon more and more as his work becomes known to members. He has tried and won several cases for seedsmen and has given opinions, saving members the cost of employing attor- neys. Outside of circular letters con- cerning legislative bills, counsel wrote 830 letters on business of members be- tween April 1, 1909, and May 16, 1910. ' ' Probably no other association of busi- ness men in this country, and certainly none other with so low an annual mem- oership fee as $15, provides an attorney specially versed in its line who may be consulted without cost by any member and at any time.

Trade has been quiet here for the last two weeks. About the only thing doing is some funeral work now and then, but there has been enough of that to use up whatever stock has ap- peared on the market. There is little stock coming in now; roses are scarce and mostly of poor quality. However, the new stock is looking fine and there will be some cut from it shortly. There are practically no Kaiserins grown here. Carnations are about done for, as nearly all the growers have thrown out the old plants and are getting ready to plant their new stock, which is in bet- ter shape than it has been at this time for a number of years. Some good gladioli are coming in and find a ready sale; they help out a great deal dur- ing the scarcity of other stock. Sweet peas are abundant and move slowly %it prices that hardly pay for cutting them. Snapdragons are plentiful, but there is little call for them. There is some 'lemand for ferns and palms for porch 'Iccorations, etc., and occasionally we leceive an order for geraniums. Various Notes.

In view of the fact that crop is shorter than last year, we advise those who have not already ordered to lose no time doing so. Last year we were not able to meet tlu- demand for our selected Hanrisii on late orders. At present we have a good 8upi)ly, and will be able to take care of early onlers; but there should be no delay in ordering, as there is sure to be a scarcity of good stock, especially in the large sizes. We ofter selected stock of the original true Harrisii for early forcing, grown from the original true stock — splendid stock for early forcing, for which purpose Harrisii is so valuable. Our stock is not picked up indiscriminat«'ly from different sources, but is grown from one stock, and will be found very superior to the ordinary Harrisii usually ottered, both in regard to freedom from disease and purity, and not the late type now so often furnished. 6 to 7-inoli bulbs, 850 to the case, $17.50 p*r case: less quantities, $ 6.00 per 100. 7 to 9-liicb bulbs, 200 to tbe case. 18.00 per case; less quantities, 10.00 per 100. 0 to 11-incb bulbs, 100 to tbe case, XO.OO per case; less quantities, 25.00 per 100.

Vose was one of the first to ship asters in quantity to the mar- ket. His produce is handled by Wil- lianf F. Aylward. Maurice Fuld will only stay with the "Wonderland Co., at Revere Beach, until September 1, when he will take a re- sponsible position with one of the best known firms in the east. The coming picnic of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, July 27, at Pine Banks park. Maiden, is the principal topic of discussion at present. There .is an unusually fine list of prizes for the sporting events, which are twenty- two in number. It is desired to start the baseball games as soon after 10 o'clock as possible. Elevated cars should be taken to Sullivan square, where surface cars for Maiden can be taken, getting off at the sporting field gateway of the park. No efforts have been spared by the committee to make this the most successful picnic yet held, and all they ask for is for a continua- tion of the good weather with which they have been favored for a number of years. The rainfall with which we were fa- vored July 16 was welcome. Our last appreciable precipitation had been June 18, and with clear skies and 90 degrees in the shade or over day after day, crops were suffering severely. Every effort is being made to round up a substantial delegation for the Rochester convention, and at this time E. A. Peirce 's efforts to secure a special Pullman carload seem likely to be crowned with success. Boston is bound to make a good showing at the coming convention, and let everyone know what a magnificent show we are to have in the spring of 1911. All would-be con- ventionists should write to E. A. Peirce, Waltham, at once and have their names enrolled. The rates are low and within the reach of almost every grewer. P. J.

T jiiu growing the English cucumbers with success, but wish to grow some Whitfe i-^pine in connection with the others. Will it be advisable to grow one row of plants on each side, trained up to tiie wire, as I do with the English variety? Each house will be about six- teen feet wide. Is it necessary to have bees for the White Spine? Bees would tend to spoil rather than benefit the fruit on the English vines, and they bear as heavily without the bees. I spray the English sort quite often, overhead. I presume this should not be done with the White Spine, as it would prevent the trans- mitting of the pollen. I plant the Knglish cukes eighteen to twenty inches apart in the row. F. K. The White Spine cucumbers are not nearly as strong growers as the English variety, and will stand planting closer together in the rows. You will also want four rows of them to a house, aa they do not grow so tall. You can train them in several ways. For instance, four rows of White Spine in a 16-foot liouse might be trained in the form of two separate, sharp-pointed arches; or I lie two central rows might form an arch in the middle of the house, while tlie two outside rows would follow the ^liapo of the wall and roof, like your 'English vines; or each of the four rows I'light be trained separately straight up to the roof. The White Spine is much 'iiore prolific than the English type and - "lis much better. The houses in which you have the \Vhite Spine varieties must have bees to 'istribute the pollen. In England it is 'liought that the cucumbers are spoiled ' V being pollinated, but in this coun- 'y it is not considered any detriment ' them. In fact, the people here care 'it little for the English cukes, any- ' '^v, and in most markets they are hard sell. The Davis Perfect variety is a • If breed that might interest you. It •exactly like the English in growth, ' It the fruit is much like that of the •liite Spine, only longer. I'requent spraying of- the vines is just ; beneficial for White Spine as for ' 'ose you grow now. They stand any iiiount of spraying, but it is best to "lit until the bees have had an hour or '^^0 to go over the blooms early each "|'>rning, before the first spraying. ^ou plant your English sort closer "lan most growers; four to five feet ■'•I'art is usually the distance, and six- ^•'^n to twenty-four inches for White ^pine — single plants in both cases.

The Marketv Business is dull — not unusually so, but just the natural sequence of con- ditions that are expected at this season. Except for funeral work, the retailers are idle, while the growers, having fin- ished their outdoor work, are now busy preparing the benches in the houses. There is plenty of everything and many of the growers have stopped cutting except as orders come in, and the stores are ordering only to meet demands. Prices rule at the standard usual at this time. Various Notes. William B. Hazard has several houses of tomatoes, from which he is now pick- ing some fine fruit that commands good prices. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Houlihan, of Uxbridge, are receiving congratulations on the arrival of a girl, their first- born. Mr. Houlihan is head gardener at the W. A. I. Bazeley estate. J. P. & C.

The important announcement has been made that all the capital stock of the Dingee & Conard Co. has been transferred to two members of the com- pany, P. J. Lynch, the secretary-treas- urer, and M. Henry Lynch, the vice- president. This means that these young men become sole owners of the im- mense establishment, having purchased outright all the interests therein owned by Charles Dingee, only surviving foun- der of the business, the inception of which dates back nearly sixty years. P. J. Lynch returned recently from New Castle, Ind., where for some months he has been conducting the company's branch establishment at that place. He returned to attend the com- pany 's annual meeting, at which a pros- perous year's business was reported and all the old officers were reelected, as fol- lows: President, Alfred P. Reid; vice- president, M. Henry Lynch; secretary- treasurer, P. J. Lynch. At New Castle, where P. J. Lynch will continue to act as manager, much attention is being given to the exten- sion of the rose-growing acreage. By working the West Grove, New Castle and North Carolina plants together, the company is splendidly equipped to sup- ply its extensive trade. CINCINNATI.

Few asters are now arriving, but judging from advices they will be in in quantity soon. Nymphseas are good stock. There is a good demand for lily of the valley and longiflorum, but little or none of the former can be obtained. The supply of roses is now at its lowest ebb; American Beauties alone are of excellent quality, and are in request, and next week will probably see the last of the carnations. The supply of decorative greens is sufficient for all demands. New galax is in and the new cut of leucothoe is expected shortly. The home-grown Sprengeri is Al and sells readily. We have had some heavy rains within the last few days, and the florists who had expected to move their soil will probably be delayed for several days until the ground dries out. Various Notes. According to present indications it seems fairly certain that the local florists will send a bowling team to the meeting of the S. A. F. at Rochester to defend the cup, a leg of which was won last summer. C. E. Critchell is now offering nym- phsea and new galax and expects new leucothoe soon. The Ohio Cut Flower Co. is cutting many excellent auratum lilies. L. H. Kyrk has on sale Augusta gladioli. Weiland & dinger are receiving the first cuts of a new crop of Beauties. B. D.

PACIFIC COAST. An account of the meeting of the Pa- cific Coast Nurserymen's Association ap- pears on another page of this issue. Portland, Ore.— In the big fire of July 13 one of the florists who suffered was George Otten. His loss is reported as $10,000. San Francisco, Cal.— F. Ludemann, for forty years a well known figure in the trade on the Pacific coast, has, on account of ill health, laid down the cares of business. His place at Mill- brae has been turned over to his son, Adolph F. Ludemann, who has been aBSOciated with his father for the last ten years, while the other place, at 3041 Baker street in this city, has been purchased by H. Kempf. Portland, Ore.— The first sweet pea show under the auspices of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Woodstock Improve- ment Association, was held July 2 in Woodstock hall, and the interest which was aroused resulted in the preliminary organization of the Oregon Sweet Pea Association. Captain George Pope was manager and he was assisted by Mrs. Andrews, secretary of the auxiliary. There were eighty-five separate ex- hibits from amateur growers and one from a professional grower. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. Business has been at the regular sum- mer level for the last fortnight, but funeral work, which has been surpris- ing, has kept things moving, although the warm weather has nearly denuded the city of the flower-buying public. Stock in all varieties is plentiful, and a large portion is dumped daily. Car- nations are the old reliables and serve well for all occasions, but a scarcity is looked for soon, as the benches are being rapidly cleaned out. Winsor, Victory, Enchantress and White Per- fection lead in popularity. Gypsophila is plentiful, and is effective with all floral arrangements. Variotis Notes. In the recent fire that destroyed sev- eral blocks in this city, John Davis had the misfortune to lose his entire house- hold effects, and he and his family barely escaped with their lives. John G. Hol- den was also a victim, as his store and (Creenhouse were totally destroyed. This is Mr. Holden's second disaster within a short time, as he recently fell from a shade tree which he was trimming and dislocated his hip, besides receiving other injuries. H. Clemmens, of Newberg, shipped the first asters to this market; they were of long stem and fine quality. He has a seedling of great merit that is as yet unnamed.

At the regular meeting of the Cali- fornia State Floral Society, held July 7, Miss C. Williams, the well-known flo- rist and decorator, read an article on the general beautification of San Fran- cisco, with special reference to planting along sidewalks and in vacant spaces in the town. It was decided to hold the usual fall exhibition this seasgn in some suitable place. Adolph Ludemann is now proprietor of that branch of the Pacific Nurseries located at Milbrae, Cal., and will con- duct it under his own name in the future. The H. M. Sanborn Co. is cutting heavily of American Beauty and Kate Moulton at their Dwight-Way Nurser- ies, in Berkeley. R. D. Maplesden will again represent Sandkuhle & Carlson, the Piedmont 'Jurserymen, for the coming season. The showing of tuberous begonias in ^he conservatories at Golden Gate park J9 now at its best and attracts much attention from the general public. Frederick Schmitz is on a camping trip in the Mount Shasta region. He ■^ill return to town about August 1.

Y., have been looking for 5,000 eyes of Mme. Caroline Testout for outdoor bud- ding, but say they are not easily picked up. The Washington Nursery Co., Toppe- nish, Wash., has lost a suit against H. E. Albee, it having been established that Albee & Bonham was a corporation, not a partnership. The Aurora Nursery Co., Aurora, 111., reports that the April freeze did not do so great damage to stock in nursery rows as was at first thought; the recovery has been remarkable. J. G. Harrison & Sons, Berlin. Md., say they cleaned out all apple and peach frees this season, but that cherry and plum did not sell at all. and there wore only fair sales of strawberry plants. The State Nursery Co., of Helena, Mont., has offered cash prizes to the amount of $45 for the flower show which is to be held in that city in August, un- der the auspices of the Helena Flower Show Association. Nurserymen in the vicinity of West Chester, Pa., report that the spring trade this year was the largest in their ex- perience. They also believe they have reason to expect a heavy fall business, judging from the amount of orders al- ready placed for fall shipment. At Boskoop, Holland, a large exhibi- tion of forced shrubs Ls to be given in the first half of April, 1911, to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Pomo- logical Society of Boskoop, the mem- bers of which no longer grow fruit trees, but devote most of their atten- tion to nursery stock for export.

The following officers were elected: i 'resident — George C. Roeding, Fres- D',. Cal. -ecretary and treasurer — C. A. Ton- „.-.on, Tacoma, Wash. •ice-presidents — For Oregon, J.

It was the unanimous report that business has been excellent and that the good crop of apples in prospect this season will make it oven better than heretofore. NURSERIES TO COMBINE? A report from Nora Springs, la., a small town in i'loyd county, of which Charles City is the county seat, says: "Assumption of the management of The Sherman Nursery Co., east of here, liy Harry G. Patten, son of C. G. Patten, tiic veteran nurseryman of Iowa, vir- tuiilly means a inerging of the two firms, Patten & Son and the Sher- man Nursery Co. The total acreage in the 'merged nursery is 1,400, which is probably one of the largest in the country. At different times during the year from 700 to 800 men will be employed. The planting, digging the stock, shipping and other work of the nursery will be under the direction of Mr. Patten. July 8 he made his first official trip over the combined acreage and found the cyclometer on his auto- mobile had recorded a trip of thirty- twii miles." INFECTED NURSERY STOCK. 'onsul-General George N. West, of Vancouver, furnishes the following par- ticulars about a large quantity of im- ported nursery plants destroyed by fire in British Columbia, under the direc- tion of the provincial inspector of fruits an. I orchards: The trees destroyed came from Japan, Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, the Ignited Kingdom, and from the United '^t les, and consisted of some 30,000 t'' > and plants infected with San Jose ""• 'e. borers, root gall, apple-tree an- tli> icnose, pear blight, and all the other \a' ous fruit-tree diseases known. The ''• ^ included apple, pear, quince, 1" li, apricot, crab, nectarine, small ^' and ornamental shrubs. The in- ;'! ' tor stated that there was enough j"' ction destroyed in this lot to have 'fi' cted the whole of British Columbia. ' >t only is the imported nursery '^''•k inspected, but all the nurseries t'l 'iighout the province. No company or ndividual is permitted to distribute ^J^ '^ until they have passed inspection ■^y ' ompetent inspectors. The same rule 's 'ollowed regarding the sale of fruit, ?nd there is not, it is said, a package of int. cted fruit sold in British Columbia toiay. AH is caretully inspected, and ^' t^ound to be diseased is condemned ^"'1 cremated or sent back to- the coun- "^' from which it was shipped. This Field-Grown Carnation Plants Ready about August 15th.

The policy of the department is to maintain abso- lutely clean orchards and clean, whole- some fruit, with a maximum of profit to the grower. Importations this year have been unusually large. iMurserymen sending stock into Brit- ish Columbia that is at all infected stand to lose, says Mr. West, because they have to bear the loss when it is destroyed. Praise was given to the nursery stock and fruit imported from Utah. It is to the interest of growers of nursery stock in the United States, Mr. West continues, to take particular care to see that any stock sold to be used in the province of British Colum- bia is perfectly clean in every respect, and shippers of fruit should also be sure that the fruit and packages are entirely free from parasites; otherwise it will be condemned and not allowed to be used in the province. JAPANESE LIAPLES. I would like to know how I can get some root cuttings from a blood-leaved Japanese maple. I have one of these, and would like to grow some small trees if it is possible. I have tried all the ways I know of, but cannot make them root. There are no seeds or blossoms which I could use. E. O. P. ^he only successful plan of propaga- tion for the various forms of Acer Ne- g^ndo is to graft them on Acer palma- tum, the stock of which is usually im- ported, or on the common box elder. They cannot be propagated successfully by cuttings. C. A NATIVE JUNIPEE. I am sending a small branch from a native juniper. A friend found it in the woods and now has it in his yard. It is shapely and almost pyramidal. Can you tell me what variety it is, as I should like to add it to my collection of evergreens! W. J. B. This is a form of Juniperus Virginica. C.

Possibly it is a little better than at the last report, but the usual midsummer dullness is here. The mar- ket seems to be supplied with flowers. The only noticeable shortage is in car- nations, and this may be only tempo- rary, as considerable quantities have been shipped to other cities. Several needed showers have visited Rochester and vicinity and growers are more optimistic regarding field opera- tions. The dry weather had injured the •weet peas to a considerable extent. Carnations are retailing at 35 cents a dozen; roses, $1; sweet peas, 15 cents to 20 cents a bunch. Candytuft is plentiful and a large bunch sells for 50 cents. E, F. E. MANCHESTEE, MASS.

Stock has been so scarce on this mar- ket lately that the retailers had to be careful about taking orders for funeral work. Roses are little larger than the end of a lead pencil, and with a few excep- tions are weak at the neck, making them nearly useless. Carnations are about the size of a quarter, but are of good color, and the stems are fairly strong. Lilies, where available, are the best all-round flower, and some of the florists, who are fortunate in possessing a good supply, have a big advantage. Sweet peas are somewhat improved over last week, as we had some rain and the weather has not been quite so warm. Club Meeting. A well-attended meeting of the De- troit Florists' Club was held at the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange, Mon- day evening, July 18, and the question of moving into more desirable quarters than the present ones in the Cowie building, was taken up. A committee was appointed to try to obtain a meet- ing room that will be a little smaller and more congenial. State Vice-President Michael Bloy, of the S. A. F., requested each and every member to make an effort to at- tend the coming convention, referring to the arrangements being made by the Rochester florists and nurserymen to entertain the visitors. Lunch was served as usual. Various Notes. W. J. Vesey, Jr., and wife, of Fort Wayne, Ind., spent several days in De- troit as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Maynard, and attended the Elks' reunion. They left Saturday, July 16, for an extended fishing trip. Chas. Warncke had his large touring car nicely decorated for the Elks' auto- mobile parade and was given honorable mention. In all there were at least 2,500 autos in line, some being elab- orately decorated. H. S. Benton Harbor, Mich. — A. E. Crooks is at Detroit this week, attending the big meeting of Elks.

FLORISTS' rUEL DIRECTORY Save Labor and Expense By the Use of BERWIND SMOKELESS COAL ==^==^:==^^^^=== from ===^^=^=^^^== Pocahontas and New River Mines of BERWIND-WHITE COAL MIM^G Office: 1805 Peoples Gas Building, CHICAGO Telephone Randolph 3901 CO. Mention The KpvIpw \> den you write. fireenhoose Heating. Fuel dealers complain that the very florists who made the biggest ' ' holler ' ' when caught short of coal by last win- ter's car famine are the ones who are deaf to all pleas to buy now and take in at least a part of the season's supply. The fore-handed growers are filling their bunkers to the greatest capacity. BURNS TOO MUCH COAL. We have a greenhouse 17x120 feet and ten feet to the ridge, with cement walls four, feet high. It is heated by a Buffalo boiler, which feeds a 4-inch flow. The flow branches into two 3 inch pipes, and returns in ten 1-inch pipes on one side and in eight 1^/4 -inch pipes on the other side, under the benches. The flow pipe is at the ridge of the house and has about two inches &f a rise to the branches. The house itself has twenty inches of a fall toward the boiler, which is in the south end of the building. The return pipes have about thirty-six inches of a fall. We wish to keep a temperature of 60 degrees in zero weather. We can raise the desired heat,, but the expense for fuel is alto- gether too high — about double that of other florists. The boiler pit is two feet deep and cannot be put any lower on account of the drainage. Any informa- tion you can give concerning this trouble will be appreciated. I am lo- cated in southern Ontario. W. B. There is evidently something radically wrong with the heating plant, as the amount of radiation is twice as great as is necessary. There should be no difficulty in maintaining a temperature of 60 degrees with three 214-inch flow pipes and nine 2-inch returns. It is not advisable to use anything smaller than 2-inch pipe for the returns when a house is more than seventy-five feet in length, unless the returns are well above the top of the boiler.

The circulation could also be improved by giving the flow pipe a slight fall instead of a rise. The return pipes should be kept as high as possible an^ should not drop more than one inch in ten feet. A material benefit can be secured by merely chang- ing the level of the pipes, as indicated, and this alone may suffice to bring down the coal bill. Another change, in case there is an objection to putting in larger pipe, would be to use a closed system under pressure.

The boiler room and office adjoin one end of this house, and connected with the office is the fourth house, which is 25x90 and contains 3,500 square feet of glass. Will you kindly inform me as to the best way of piping these houses for steam? I have been heating the old houses with hot water, and therefore have a lot of 2-inch pipe which I wish to use. What size of leader will be required from the boiler to the new house 50x240f The boilers are seventy- two and ninety horse-power, respect- ively. The houses contain solid beds, sixteen inches high. L. C. ft will be advisable to use a 4-inch leader to the house 50x240 feet. To hiat this house, use six 2-inch flow pipes »r.i\ fifteen l^^-inch returns.

The house tl; it is 25x225 feet can bO' heated by m atis of three 2-inch flows and seven I'rJDch returns, and the house 25x90 f' t can be heated by means of two fl .V3 and eight returns. As the houses li e solid beds, most of the returns s' uld be on the walls in the case of tl 'narrower houses, but it will not be «• usable to attempt to have more than ♦1 ee returns connected with a 2-inch fl' V pipe in the longer houses.

The data furnished are not quite com- plete so far as the arrangement of the house is concerned, but, supposing that it is furnished with raised benches along the walls and one in the center, the following piping is suggested: Use three 2 1^ -inch flow pipes, placing one on each wall and the other one and one-half to two feet under the ridge, with three 2-inch returns on each wall, and the same number under the center bench. Give the flow pipes a slight fall through the house, and connect the ex- pansion tank to the highest part of the system, which will be over the boiler. No air valves will be required. ST. LOUIS. The Market. There is little change in the market from what was previously reported, either in quality or supply of stock. We have had plenty of rain and this has had a good effect on all outdoor stock, which is coming in much better, Roses, as usual at this time of the year, are not of the best quality, and are not selling well. Carnations have good call when of good quality. These are, how- ever, becoming small. Sweet peas are also way off in quality at present. Gladi- olus is the only flower now of which there is an abundance in the market, and the price goes down as low as $15 per thousand and $2 per hundred in small lots. The light colors sell best. Asters are coming in more freely, but tnere are none too many. There is plenty of good asparagus, smilax and other greens, for which there is a good call. Club Meeting. St. Louis wants the S. A, F. conven- tion in 1911, and at the monthly meet- ing of the Florists' Club, held Thurs- day afternoon, July 14, it was decided to join in with various other local asso- ciations in the endeavor to get a favor- able vote at the Rochester meeting. There were about thirty members present, including President George "Windier, who started the ball rolling and called for the reports of the various committees. C. E. De Wever said that the members of his committee were in favor of giving the bulletin a trial and it was voted to go ahead. The commit- tee was retained to manage it. The trustees reported that everything was in readiness for the club's picnic Thursday, July 21, and they expect a record-breaking crowd. The transpor- tation committee reported that the round trip fare to Rochester for the S. A. F. convention will be $20.40, good for thirty days. The route will be de- cided upon at the August meeting. H. A. Eirick, of Webster Groves, was elected to membership, and Edward Kelley, head of the Kelley Floral Co., made application. The following mem- bers were placed in nomination for the various offices: President, G. B. Wind- ier; vice-president, Frank A. Weber; secretary, J. J. Beneke; treasurer, W. C.

Y., voluntarily writes:— " I am very much pleased to let you know that the Damper Regulator I bought from yon last fall is by far the best apparatus for greenhouse purposes. I had my book-keeper compare my coal bill of last with that of this year and I find a saving of one quarter the amount of this year's coal over last year's ; also ttie past winter was a great deal colder and longer than the winter before. " There is another very good feature about the Damper Regulator, as it keeps a uniform heat in all the houses at all times by putting on and shutting oS pipes. And I find that my Roses and Ferns did far better this winter than any winter so far, as the temperature was so uniform at all times. " My reason for writing you is to let you know, and also to thank you for bringing my attention to the Regulator, and I assure you I cannot speak too highly of this machine."

But in- fringement of our basic patents would be necessary to suooessful imitation. The courts prevent in- fringement. All efforts of imitators, therefore, have been failures. No one can make a hose as efficient, as durable, as economical as Electric Rubber Hose. It is a manufacturing impossibility. Imitation has to stop at the very point when; efficiency begins. Our seamless jackets of seine twine, our pure rubber tubes, our process of amalgamating jackets and tubes into a unified fa|)ric, represents the high, est and greatest achievement in host- construction. It is a matter of sound busines.^t judgment for you to use such hose in your greenhouse. ELECTRIC HOSE & RUBBER CO., Wilmington, Del. Mention The Review when you write. PITTSBUEG, PA. The Market. There was sufficient business last week to take up all the good flowers that came in. Roses are becoming scarce; there are hardly enough to go around, and the few carnations which arrive get smaller and smaller each day. Lilies and gladioli are plentiful and good and help out nicely, as most of the business done is funeral work. Various Notes. As this is vacation time, many faces are missing, among them being Mrs. E. A. Williams, who is taking the lake trip to Duluth, and will stop at Mackinac island en route. Will Potter, wife and son have been spending a couple of weeks in Green county visiting Mr. Potter's mother. Geo. Marshall has gone with a party that will camp at Conneaut lake for a few weeks. Karl Klinke and wife will leave this week for the lakes of Canada, where they will while away the time in a canoe. Samuel MeClements, of Randolph & McClements, puts in his spare time tak- ing automobile excursions in his Buick. He made the run to Buflfalo during the first week of this month. P. S. Randolph, of the same fifm, is alsQ sporting a fine new car. He says he is satisfied to run slowly and does not care to test what his car can do — however, that is not the way he drives horses. Walter Breitenstein is following his usual custom by spending his evenings and Sundays in his canoe on the upper Allegheny river. W. A. Clarke, of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., celebrated his fiftieth birth- day Friday, July 15. After the morn- ing rush, he was given a "tin can and bucket ' ' serenade by the boys in the store, and when they had him cornered they presented him with a handsome toilet set for his traveling bag. For once Mr. Clarke had little to say, ex- cept to thank them — such a token from those with whom he works day after day meant more to him than he could find words to express. Geo. Schomer, Connellsville, is put- ting up two new houses for cut flowers. E. C. Ludwig says that Saturday and Sunday, July 16 and 17, were the busiest days he has had since Christ- mas, and it was all funeral work. Hoo-Hoo. S. JACOBS & SONS 1361-1365 Flushing Ave., Brooklyn, N.

For this time of the year, trade has lici'u prettj' lively during the last few weeks. Good flowers for cutting are none too plentful just now. Carnations are almost played out; what few are coming in are small and of poor qual- ity. They retail at 35 cents per dozen. Roses are fair, but they will not keep and most of the storemen just now buy only what they can use quickly. They retail at $1 per dozen; a few at $1.25 per dozen. Sweet peas are plentiful; they sell at almost any price, but sell best when put up in small bunches. A good rain last week has made them open out bet- ter. Asters are just beginning to open up. These will take the place of car- nations. There are plenty of other out- door flowers. I'he stores close at 12:30 on Wednes- '1a 's now, and at 6 o'clock every night Px^'pt Saturday. Various Notes. I'. H. Chamberlain is receiving some yellow double centaureas from in Bros., of Randolph, Mass. He •irts a good sale for these flowers, '^'m. E.

Trade in cut flowers continues about up to the average for the season, which marks the quietest portion of the year. There is not much but funeral work and hospital demands, both augmented by the various changes in temperature. We have had an exceedingly dry sum- mer so far, which is telling on outside stock, especially dahlias and asters. The outdoor roses are poor and not over- abundant, and carnations are not much better. Early asters are coming in, but there is not the excess of gladioli and hardy stock which was a feature in preceding years. Good progress has been made gener- ally in rose planting, and some of the growers have finished this work. Ee- pairs, alterations and additions are now in order. Various Notes. A large party of Baltimore florists will attend the S. A. P. convention at Eochester. They expect to join the Washington boys with a special car. They will travel over the Pennsylvania railroad. The summer outing of the Maryland State Horticultural Society will be held at Harrison 's Nurseries, at Berlin, Md., and also at Ocean City, Md.," August 28 and 29. This will be one of the largest meetings ever held by the so- ciety. A large delegation will go from Washington and also from College Park, Md. E. A. Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, is president of the society, and he has promised one of the best ex- hibitions in December that the society has had. Halliday Bros, have planted three large houses of carnations, which are looking exceedingly fine. J. Bolgiano & Son report one of the best seasons in seeds and plants the firm has ever had, and they have sold over 8,000 self -watering window boxes, which proves that the Baltimore people know a good thing when they see it. The firm has contracted for 25,000 pot- grown tomato plants for next season. Peoria, HI. — Eobert Lowenberg has taken charge of the store which bears the name of The Art Florist, at the Pey hotel, where F. Nicholas was for- merly manager. Cohasset, Mass. — Cyrus E. Keene, proprietor of the South Shore Nursery, is 82 years old and is still hale and hearty. He is ably assisted in the busi- ness by his daughters.

How to Save Money No. 3 WHEN Iniilding a greenhoixse use only first-class material. Money is more often saved by paying a higli price than when you pay a low price. There are different grades in greenhouse material the same as in shoes, clothes, meats and auto- mobiles. One dozen eggs at 15 cents may be ten years old and rotten ; another dozen at 30 cents may be gootl and fresli. On the 15 cent dozen you lose all you pay ; on the 30 cent dozen you get your money's worth, and what is more you don't feel like the fellow who bought a gold brick and his wife found it out — but we'll tell you that story another time.

We miss the masses of aquile- ~, lupines, peonies, oriental i>oppies, , man irises, pyrethrums, dictamuus ! i other June flowers, but there is al- y.s a good variety of subjects in .. cr where anything like a collection ,ii)wn. The delphiniums or larkspurs have II unusually fine, but are now on wane. It is good policy To save ( Is from extra good varieties and vv in a coldframe as soon as ripe. As ,. forms will be had as from the oiecst imported seed. As soon as the iwers have passed, the delphiniums • Mild be cut down and they will then \ (^ a nice second crop of flowers in H' August or early September. The iincse larkspurs, D. Chinense, with I'n spikes of deep blue flowers, and lifTs pure white in color, are now at (if best. They are valuable florists' • uers, blooming quickly from seed and -ting well for several years. There ^till ample time to sow a batch of Gypsophilas and Day Lilies. •iypsophila paniculata is one of the "^t useful of July flowering peren- ils. Its cloud-like heads of minute i ite flowers are valuable in floral ik of all kinds. The double form, ])aniculata fl. pi., is not so well "wn. It should be much more widely ■wn. Even in a dried state the pan- ' s look well for many weeks. Propa- ion of this variety is by root divi- 'I. Euphorbia corollata is a charm- native plant, with umbels of small, '• white flowers, desirable for cut- -', and forms a useful companion to trypsophilas. lie hemerocallis or day lilies are i^factory hardy perennials, all being I adapted for cutting. H. Thun- ;,'ii has been in flower for some time. 's lasting and will remain in good 'lition for several weeks longer. Its "n yellow flowers possess an agvce- ' odor. 11. aurantiaca major is less 'ly than some other varieties and 'lid be protected in winter, or lifted ' stored in a coldframe. However, vinters all right in sandy soil on a tie slope. Its scented, deep orange vers are four to six inches across i splendid for cutting. The old H. a has run wild in many sections. less easy of culture, it would be more •reciated. It spreads rapidly and is <*ially useful in the wild garden or in iibberies, where bold masses of it now quite efl"ective. Hollyhocks and Phloxes. ^0 hardy plants can surpass the l.vhocks when well grown. This sea- ■' the plants arc unusually free from rust, which for many years has done much to discourage the extended cul- ture of these showy and stately border plants. Scattered in clumps in the shrubberies or at the backs of herba- ceous beds, these are efl'ective. The Chater strain is still the best, but the fringed Alleghenies are pretty. The present is an excellent time to sow seed for flowering another season. The jjlanta like a Jittle winter protection in our colder states. The perennial phlox is the most prom- inent feature in the hardy garden now and will be until late October. It is really the most valuable of all hardy perennials, when its long flowering sea- son, hardiness, floriferousness, ease of culture and wide range of colors are considered. The cuttings rooted in siifrruticosa section, that finest of all ]itiloxes. Miss Lingard, blooms by the middle of June and continues all sum- mer. Among a large number of varie- ties of the paniculata section, these are extra good: R. P. Struthers, rosy carmine, crimson eye; Pantheon, car- mine rose; E. G. Von Lassburg, superb luue white; Coquelicot. pure scarlet; \iO Cygne, pure white; Eclaireiir, bright magenta; Le Mahdi, reddisii violet; iieranger, white, suffused rosy pink; Henry IMurger, white, carmine center; Ksperance, mauve, white center; Pyra- mide, splendid dwarf, pure white; G. A. Strolilein, fine scarlet, holds its color well. Platycodons, Tritomas and Lobelias. The platycodons, or Japanese bell flowers, closely allied to the campanulas, are excellent late July subjects. P. Mariesi, with its deep blue, bell-siiaped l)looms, is jierhaps the best, but P. gran- dirtorum, with violet blue flowers car- ried on strong spikes three feet in height, is well worth growing. There are pure white varieties of eacii of these platycodons. The tritomas, or knipiiofias, better known as torch lilies, are now in flower and will last for many weeks. Their stift" flowers are not pleasing to every- Phlox in a Stoneware Pitcher. spring give the finest spikes of all and come in season in late August and Sep- tember, when the older clum|is are on the wane. By cutting back the flower heads as thej' pass, a nice second crop will be had. Like the bulk of peren- nials, they require deep, rich soil for the best results, (o^nmenciny witli the (iiie. Imt tliey do so well under adverse climatic conditions that they deserve more attention. I^arge vases of them are quite effective for store window decnration during the summer months. T. Pfitzerii. with its rich orange scarlet flowers, was in bloom this season the rist week ill .liilv. It is probably the The Weekly Florists^ Review^ July 28 1910. best of the genus. T. Express is the earliest variety of flower. T. uvaria grandiflora is a well known, strong growing, reliable sort. A few other (extra good sorts are: T. uvaria nobilis, K. Wilson Kerr and Saundersii. With many the tritomas are not hardy. To winter outside, they must be on well drained land and covered with a thick bed of leaves. It will pay, however, to store a number thickly in a cold- frame. Lobelia cardinalis is generally looked npon as a plant only for the water garden or extra moist places. It does well, however, in any well enriched her- baceous border and its brilliant scarlet flowers are now opening. To propagate this lobelia, it pays to save one's own seed. Sow these in February and strong plants, many of which will flower the same season, will be had. L. syphilitica, with its blue flowers, is a useful border plant, succeeding well under quite dry conditions. Campanulas and Coreopsis. Of the campanulas, the charming lit- tle Carpatica or Carpathian bell flower is one of the finest of edging plants, blooming practically all summer. The Canterbury bells, C. Medium, are all gone. Seedlings are now transplanted ful perennial. The variety raeemosa is a handsome one, growing five to six feet high and carrying spikes of pure white flowers at present. This is good for the edge of woodlands, as well as for the back of the flower border. Coreopsis grandiflora has been bloom- ing for some weeks. It needs to have the seed pods removed every week to prolong its season. C.'verticillata, with its finely divided foliage and masses of small golden yellow flowers, is a neat plant for the front portion of the border. Anchusa Italica Dropmore, with its beautiful, intensely blue flow- ers, is the finest perennial of its color now in season. It is easily raised from seed. No florist can afford to be with- out a row or a few clumps of Achillea Ptarmica The Pearl. It flowers over a long season and few hardy flowers are so valuable for cutting. Incarvillea Delavayi is not reliably hardy. It is, however, a noble peren- nial, producing strong spikes of rose- colored, gloxinia-like flowers. An oc- casional pure white plant is found. An excellent one is to be seen in the gar- dens of N. T. Kidder, Milton, Mass. Asters, Llllums and Others. The real aster season does not come until August or September, but some \ < 1 J ), (/ WSmi k i/-i w^ / 'i^Z 1 TW^ < R^^Pi ^ J .<-"' W'hr ^ •( w\ 1 ' 1 T ^ Gladioli in a Stone Jar. in nursery rows for next year's display.

Hart, who was Rochester's first wholesale commission florist, and still its only one, has written an article for the Souvenir, by means of which the local club is meeting a part of the convention expenses, in which he sets forth some interesting facts, as follows: "The growing of flowers as a com- mercial venture dates back almost to the incorporation of the village of Rochester, but not until about 1840 did the business assume any degree of im- portance. The first noted florists and horticulturists were William Ellwanger and Patrick Barry, who began business in. 1840. ' ' In 1870 James Vick opened the first flower store in connection with his seed business, at that time located on State street, in the building now occupied by H. B. Graves. This department was continued until the seed business wa» removed to a new warehouse on East avenue, in 1880; then it was assuni '1 by R. G. Salter. Several years lat ^r the firm of Salter Bros, was formed, "Among the pioneers of the busin s none stood higher than J. B.

"Rochester supports nine retail flower stores located in the center of the city, and many of the greenhouses have salesrooms attached. "Rochester is becoming an important shipping point for cut flowers, stock being sent to Cincinnati on the west and Boston on the east, Chicago, Phila- •lelphia, Pittsburg, New York and other important points. More asters are shipped from the Flower City than from :my other center — 50,000 cut blooms >laily in the height of the season is not uncommon. Besides asters, a general line of cut flowers is supplied to the 'ocal trade and foreign markets." CABFET BEDDING. Could you give me a little advice on making an American flag design for my lawn, telling me the kind of red flowers to use, as well as white and blue? The flag is to be 4x8 feet. I live in Massachusetts. T. H. J. Suitable plants to use would be Al- lernanthera brilliantissima or A. paro- nychioides major for red. In the way of white-foliaged or flowering plants, you could try Centaurea candidissima for foliage, or one of the dwarf allys- Rums, such as Little Gem or Carpet of Snow, which will flower all summer. If golden foliage would answer in lieu of white, Alternanthera aurea nana would be thoroughly reliable. The echeverias are also sometimes used to good ad- vantage. Blue flowering plants are not plentiful. Ageratum Stella Gumey is persistent flowering, but a dwarf lo- belia, like Emperor William or Kath- leen Mallard, should do lilttl where you are located, near the sea. I am afraid It is now getting pretty late to do any of this carpeting during the present season. C. W. GODETIAS. I am sending some flowers which I should like to have you name for me. Can you also tell me how to grow these and whether they are hardy or hothouse subjects? W. G, B, The flowers enclosed are from one of the godetias, most nearly resembling Lady Albemarle. This is a beautiful outdoor annual. The seed should be sown in late April or early May for best results, and a partially shaded lo- cation is desirable. W. C. LETS SLOW TO BLOOM. I am growing single violets on solid benches, and have been benching my plants about October 1, opening the house and giving them a freezing later. I get few violets up to the first part of February, and then they flower finely. Should they not be flowering well by Christmas, and would they come earlier on raised benches? Do you think October 1 too early to bench them and would it be better to give them a good frost while they are in the field? Could the plants be covered in the house so they would not be frozen or injured until the first part of February, without any heat? If so, how would you cover them and how long would it be before they would start to flower? I live in Illinois. E. W. G. You have made a mistake, which many other florists are still making, in lifting your single violets too early. They should be left outdoors until they have had a good freeze, say 6 to 10 degrees below freezing point; a lower temperature is inadvisable. This will cheek the leaf-growth and when housed the plants will start to bloom at once. From the middle to the end of October is quite early enough for you to house your plants. After housing, keep the house freely ventilated and a winter minimum as near 40 degrees as possible is what they want. You could, if you so desired, plant the violets at the time named, and if protected by a coating of several inches of dry leaves or meadow hay, they would come through the winter all right. It would probably pay vou bet- ter, however, to let them flower from the start, as in winter the flowers are worth much more than toward spring. The plants, if mulched with some light, dry material, will not suffer any injury, even if the ground is frozen quite firm, if allowed to thaw out before uncover- ing them. These single violets are practically hardy and will, with a little covering, withstand any ordinary win- ter, if not standing in water. 0. W.

Express is the earliest variety of llowor. T. uvaria grandiflora is a avcII known, strong growing, reliable sort. A few other extra good sorts are: T. uvaria nobilis, E. Wilson Kerr and Sanndersii. With many the tritomas are not hardy. To winter outside, they must be on well drained land and covered with a thick bed of leaves. It will pay. however, to store a number thickly hi a cold- frame. Lobelia cardinalis is generally looked upon as a i)lant only for the water garden or extra moist places. It does well, however, in any well enriched her- baceous border and its brilliant scarlet flowers are now opening. To jiropagate this lobelia, it pays to save one's own seed. Sow these in February and strong plants, manj' of which will tlower the same season, will be had. L. syphilitica, with its blue flowers, is a useful border plant, succeeding well under quite dry conditions. Campanulas and Coreopsis. Of the campanulas, the charming lit- tle Carpatica or Carpathian bell flower is one of the finest of edging plants, blooming practically all summer. The Canterbury bells, C. Medium, are all gone. Seedlings are now transplanted ful perennial. The variety racemosa is a handsome one, growing five to six feet high and carrying spikes of pure white flowers at present. This is good for the edge of woodlands, as well as for the back of the flower border. Coreopsis grandiflora has been bloom- ing for some weeks. It needs to have the seed pods removed every week to prolong its season. C. verticillata, with its finely divided foliage and masses of small golden yellow flowers, is a neat jtlaut for the front portion of the border. Anchusa Italica Dropmorc, with its beautiful, intensely blue flow- ers, is the finest perennial of its color now in season. It is easily raised from( seed. No florist can afford to be with- out a row or a few clumps of Achillea Ptarmica The Pearl. It flowers over a long season and few hardy flowers are so valuable for cutting. Inearvillea Delavayi is not reliably hardy. It is, however, a noble peren- nial, ])roducing strong spikes of rose- colored, gloxinia-like flowers. An oc- casional pure white plant is found. An excellent one is to be seen in the gar- dons of N. T. Kidder, Milton, Mass. Asters, Llllums and Others.

J. C. Eennison was oue of the pioneers in the flower business in Iowa and at his death he left a foundation upon which younger men have builded rap- idly. The business was incorporated as rhe J. C. Eennison Co., with $50,000 .authorized capital stock, and the range of glass just outside of Sioux City, at Twenty-fifth and Jones streets, has been largely increased, until it includes 100,- 000 feet of glass, but it does not yet produce anything like the quantity of ■stock that is required at the store, at Sixth and Pierce streets, shown in the accompanying illustration, and where -Tohn H. Chisholm is in charge. Sioux Oity is not only an excellent flower rown, but It is the center for a consid- erable wholesale business, and the Een- uison Co, looks after both retail and wholesale ends. The location of the retail store is exceptionally favorable, ■it the intersection of two of the prin- •iipal streets of the city. Occupying the southwest corner, the Court House is lirectly opposite on the southeast cor- ner. Step out the rear door and you are just across the street from the post-office, and on the opposite corner from the post-office is the City hall. It is no exaggeration to say Sioux City's business life centers around^ the Een- nison store. A car line straight north twenty blocks reaches the greenhouses. TABLE DECORATIONS. This is a dull season for the retail tiorist, but it is the time of year when he makes his plans for autumn. There- tore it is a time when he should be specially interested in such an idea as is shown in the illustration on page 9. Everyone who has watched the 1 rowds at any of the big fall shows has noted that to the public nothing ( quals the interest that attaches to the table decorations, and especially where !( portion of them are of a character that the average hostess could afford to use. Taking advantage of the idea suggested, several progressive retailers have fitted up "demonstration rooms." They are nothing more or less than •salesrooms for plant and cut flower re- i eptacles, but they attract the buyers because, usually, there stands in the «;enter of the room a fully set table with flowers in place, as if ready for rhe arrival of the guests. If such a display is within sight of people pass- ing on the street it will draw a constant •stream of visitors; otherwise one has to bring them in by advertising. Some of these demonstration rooms :,re expensively fitted up. and are costly to maintain. But it isn't necessarj-, f^specially where a retailer has a fairly large store. In that case all he has to 10 is to set his table in the store, or in the window, maintain it for a while and after it grows stale take it oflF again; later it can be brought back and be as interesting as ever with flowers of another season. The accompanying illustration shows a displav table that drew many visitors to the store of A. W. Smith Co., Pitts- burg. THE EXPANSION AT DBEEB'S. The brief statement that appears in this week's Philadelphia column of the purchase of a new farm at Eivertou, X. .1., by the Henry A. Dreer Co., covers fruits of much planning. It has been Mr. Eisele's aim to have a thoroughly modern growing plant, where the com- pany''s specialties could be grown under the most advantageous condi- tions. Mr. Eisele further wished that the new farm should be so laid out that the original idea would be pre- served until the plant was complete; that if not finished during his life-time it might be finished by those who took up his work after him. With these ends in view, two farms, comprising in all 12o acres, have just been purchased. This tract of ground is situated on the southeast side of the Pennsj'lvania Eailroad tracks, but a short distance beyond the present plant at Eiverton. The new farm has 2,500 feet frontage on the railroad, which Mr. Eisele plans using as a display ground for cannas and for hardy phloxes. On the farm there are forty acres of practically level ground. Here the greenhouses, boiler-shed and pack- ing-shed will be placed. While Mr. Eisele 's ideas may be modified, their general outline will consist in a large central boiler-shed, from which glass houses on any part of this forty acres can be heated by hot water under forced circulation. Next to this hcut- ing plant will be a range of ten green- houses, each 21x200 feet, open between, with gutters four and one-half or five feet high. A second range, also cov- ering about one acre in the same dimen- sions, will be separated from the first range by a 10-foot corridor house. This will give no shade and enable the ranjjes to be readily emptied or filled with stock by trucks run through the cor- ridor house to the packing-shed beyond. Between this range and the railroad tracks, in front, 300 feet by the entire length of 2,500 feet, will be reserved for display ground, in full view of the people in the trains, the trains between New York and Atlantic City carrying thousands on this road. A siding from the railroad is planned direct to the boiler-shed, running alonjj the ends of the two ranges described and passing the packing-shed, which will be placed between these ranges and the tracks. This will give splendid facilities for handling the stock and the coal. Across the siding, opposite the two ranges described, other ranges are planned, exact counterparts in all re- spects. How much glass will be erected now, Mr. Eisele could not say. "It may be one, two or three acres, ' ' he said. "I am in the market for at least 2,000 boxes of glass for 1910." Speaking of the immediate use to which the new plant would be devoted, Mr. Eisele said: "It will be for our specialties; possibly a range will be given to Mr. Clark 's nephrolepis, the next range to something else. Our pres- ent place will be assembling ground for the finished products of the new place and of Locust farm. ' ' Some idea of the magnitude of the undertaking can be obtained when it is considered that there are seven acres of glass at Eiverton, besides twenty- seven acres in perennials and 6ther plants and in ponds, forty-five acres across the railroad and sevent}' acres more at Locust farm. This, with th'' Store of J. C Rennison Co^ Sioux City, la. JLLY 28, 1910.

Anything clear of frost v.]]\ answer. If you are growing in pots, Uwy should be flowered in 8-inch or 9 inch pots. Give them a shift before thov can become matted with roots. _^ C.W. LYCOEIS SQXJAMIGERA. Will you kindly inform me if Lycoris squamigera is perfectly hardy? If so, does it require a year or two to become aeclimated and what soil is best for it? Is it of any value as a cut flower? H. H. G. Lycoris squamigera, also known as Amaryllis Hallii, has proved quite hardy in New England, withstanding temperatures of 10 to 20 degrees below zero without injury. It blooms sparse- ly for a year or two after planting and until well established. A thoroughly well drained soil containing plenty of sand, in a warm location, suits it best. I have in mind some clumps which bloom grandly each year on the south side of buildings, while at one place in an open, sunny spot, well surrounded by evergreens on the north and east, one or two masses are superb each. August. In planting it, see that the soil is well drained and add some half decayed leaf-mold, sand and rotted cow manure to the natural soil. It prefers a light soil to a heavy one, and a mulch of partly decayed" leaves or old manure is of benefit. The leaves appear and van- ish before the flowers are produced. Dinner Table Display in a Leading Pittsburg Store. As a pot plant it requires treatment similar to that given to Amaryllis Belladopna and nerines. This is a splendid, hardy bulb when once estab- lished, its fragrant rosy lilac flowers being equal in quality to those of the Belladonna lily itself . -v W. N. C. SEASONABI£ NOTES It will be quite a number of weeks ' ^fore it will be safe to start the propa- > ition of geraniums. The plants, how- ' ^er, can be looked over in the field •lid any rogues marked. Many florists I 'ant beds of geraniums ab(Wt the ap- 1 roaches to their greenhouses. This ''l^rves two excellent purposes, in beau- tifying the establishments and giving liter necessary stock for propagating, •^•eraniums, when planted out, make a '"ank, soft growth, especially later in •^he summer. These soft cuttings are liable to damp off. I have found it to ^e a good plan, where the stock plants ^re growing in nursery rows, to chop down each side of the plants with a sharp spade a fortnight before taking cuttings. This checks the rank growth and firms up the wood on the plants, reducing also the number of damped- off cuttings. Geranium cuttings /rom outdoors never root so satisfactorily as those pot grown, for the simple reason that those under glass have always firmer wood, containing less sap. Speaking of indoor geraniums reminds me that in late summer the double ivy-leaved vari- eties make excellent pot plants, being also splendid in baskets. Plants for this purpose have recently been given a shift into 6-inch and 7-inch pots. Two or three stakes have been given to each and flowers will be allowed to come early in August and will continue al- most indefinitely. These ivy-leaved geraniums are not much seen commer- cially, but where any one wants nice flowering plants in August and Sep- tember, they are welcome additions. The regular winter-blooming gera- niums, being grown in pots, should have the strong leading shoots pinched as they show any tendency to tun away; also keep all flower spikes picked off. I do not aim at a vigorous growth on these plants. They do not make as much headway now as they will a few weeks later. Avoid the use of liquid manures. These only promote a soft growth at the expense of flowers. Give the plants a good light, plenty of .fresh air and on hot days they are refreshed by an occasional spraying overhead. When potting ram the soil firmly. Do not use any leaf-mold and let any ma- nure be quite old and thoroughly de- cayed. Spent mushroom manure may torm one-third and add a 4-inch pot of fine bone to each wheelbarrow load of soil. C. W. Bloomfield, N.

The brief statement that appears in this weciv 's Pliiladel|)liia column of the ))urfhase of a new farm at Rivertou, X. .).. by the llemy A. Dreer Co., covers fruits of nuK-h |>hiiiiiiiig. It has bi'eii iNlr. Eisele "s aim to liave a thoroughly muderu growing plant, where the com- ])aiiy's specialties could be grown under the most advautageous condi- tions. .Mr. Kisele further wished that tiie new farm sliould be so laid out tliat the original idea would be ]»re- served until tlu' ])laiit was complete; that if not flnished during his life-time it might be finislied by those who took up his work after him. With tlies*' ends in \ iew. two farms, comprising in all ll2") acres, have Jusl been purchased. Tliis tract of ground is situated on the southeast side of the I'ennsN'lvania Railroad tracks, l)ut a short distance beyond the jiresent plant at Rivertou. The new farm has 2,.')0'i feet frontag<' ou the railroad, which ]\[r. Eisele [ilans using as a display ground for cannas and for hardy l>hhixes. On the farm there are forty acres of ])r;ictically level ground. Here the greenhouses. Itoiler-shed and pack- ingshed will lie ](lace<|. Wliile Mr. Eisele 's idejts may be modified, their general outline will consist in a large central boiler-shed, from which !.'l.iss liousi's on any part of this forty a< os can be heated by hot water uii or forced circulation. Next to this h it- ing jdant will be a range of ten gre u- houses, eacli 21x200 feet, open betwern, with gutters four and one-half or > \(. feet high. A second range, also c iv- ering about one acre in the same dini.n sions. will l>e separated from the t, st range by a 10 foot corridor house. Tnis will give no shade and enable the ran .»s to be readily emptied or filled wiiii stock by trucks run through the ••■ p. ridor house to the packing-shed beyonij. Between this range and the railrriiid tracks, in front, 300 feet by the entire length of 2,500 feet, will be reserv.al for display ground, in full view of the jieople in the trains, the trains betwc n Xew York and Atlantic City carrying; thousands on this road. A siding from the railroad is jilanncil direct to the boiler-shed, running akin^ the ends of the two ranges described and passing the packing-shod, which will be placed between these ranges and the tracks. This will give splendiij facilities for handling the stock am! the coal. Across the siding, opposite the twn ranges described, other ranges arc ]>i;inned, exact counterparts in all re- sjiects. How much glass will be erecte.l now, Mr. Eisele could not say. '"li may be one, two or three acres,'' he said. "1 am in the market for ;tt least 2,000 boxes of glass for 1910. " Speaking of the immediate use In which the new ]ilant would be devoted, Mv. Eisele said: "It will be for onr specialties; possibly a range will lie given to ^Ir. (lark's nephrolepis. the next range to something else. Our \n-cs I'Ut jdace will be assembling ground for the finished products of the new jilacc anil of Locust farm." Some idea of the magnitude of tlw undertaking can be obtained when it is considered that there are seven acres of glass at Riverton, besides twenty seven acres in j)erennials and other plants and in jionds, forty-five acre^ across the railroad and seventy acrc-^ more :it Locust faini.

Lycoris squamigera, also known as Amaryllis Hallii, has proved quite hnrdy in New England, withstanding tfuipcratures of 10 to 20 degrees below /.t'lo without injurv. It blooms sparse- ly for a year or two after planting and until well established. A thoroughly well drained soil containing plenty of sand, in a warm location, suits it best. 1 have in mind some clumps which bloom grandly each year on the south side of buildings, while at one place in an open, sunny spot, well surrounded by evergreens on the north and east, one or two masses are superb each August. In planting it, see that the soil is Will drained and add some half decayed li'.if mold, sand and rotted cow manure I" the natural soil. It prefers a light soil to a heavy one, and a mulch of I'lrtly decayed leaves or old manure is "I benefit. The leaves appear and van- i^li before the flowers are produced. Dinner Table Display in a Leading Pittsburg Store. As a pot plant it requires treatment similar to that given to Amaryllis Belladonna and nerines. This is a splendid, hardy bulb when once estab- lished, its fragrant rosy lilac flowers being equal in quality to those of the Belladonna lily itself. W. N, C. i^4- kn**^^ ^^ SEASONABLE NOTES. Tt will be quite a number of weeks 'fore it will be safe to start the propa- ition of geraniums. The plants, how- or, can be looked over in the field lid any rogues marked. Slany florists 'ant beds of geraniums about the ap- roaches to their greenhouses. This rves two excellent purposes, in beau- fying the establishments mid giving Iter necessary stock for propagating. ' ''raniums, when planted out, make a •'ink, soft growth, especially later in jie summer. These soft cuttings are ;iable to damp off. I have found it to 'G a good plan, where the stock plants "e growing in nursery rows, to chop down each side of the plants with a sharp spade a fortnight before taking cuttings. This checks the rank growth and firms up the wood on the plants, reducing also the number of damped- off cuttings. Geranium cuttings from outdoors never root so satisfactorily as those pot grown, for tiie simple reason that those under glass have always firmer wood, containing less sap. Speaking of indoor geraniums reminds me that in late summer the double ivy-leaved vari- eties make excellent pot plants, being also splendid in baskets. Plants for this purpose have recently been given a shift into 6 inch and 7-inch pots. Two or three stakes have been given to each and flowers will be allowed to come early in August and will continue al- most indefinitely. These ivy-leaved geraniums are not much seen commer- cially, but where any one wants nice flowering plants in August and Sep- tember, they are welcome additions. The regular winter-blooming gera- niums, being grown in pots, should have the strong leading shoots pinched as they show any tendency to Tun away; also keep all flower spikes picked off. I do not aim at a vigorous growth on these plants. They do not make as much headway now as they will a few weeks later. Avoid the use of liquid manures. These only promote a soft growth at the expense of flowers. Give the plants a good light, plenty of .fresh air and on hot days they are refrcshe'l by an occasional spraying overhead. When potting ram the soil firmly. Do not use any leaf-mold and let any ma- nure be quite old and thoroughly de- cayed. Spent mushroom manure may torm one-third and add a 4-inch pot of fine bone to each wheelbarrow load of soil. C. W.

Sweet pea enthusiasts, and they are legion, are now at the zenith of their 1910 enthusiasm. A spell of cold, sun- less weather preceded the date of the tenth annual exhibition of the National Sweet Pea Society, but a decided change took place about July 10, and the warm, sunny weather continued during the week of the society's func- tions. The show was held July 12 and 13, the society's trials were visited July 14, and the sweet pea fields of Hunt & Son and Dobbie & Co. were visited July 15. The novelties which won the favor 01 the floral committee at the trials were the following: Stirling Stent, first- class certificate and silver medal, a re- markably bright and attractive orange salmon shade, from J. Agate, Havant. This is the novelty of the season. Four awards of merit were granted — Master- piece, lavender, Dobbie & Co., Edin- burgh; Arthur Green, maroon, Dobbie & Co.; Mrs. Hugh Dickson, cream pink, Dobbie & Co., and Cherry Ripe, Gilbert & Son, Bourne. The above awards were given after the committee had inspected the varieties growing in the trials. At the show considerable interest was manifested in the competition for the Burpee challenge cup. In 1908 and 1909 it was won by Robert Bolton, of Carn- forth, and on this occasion he again proved the winner and the cup now be- comes his property. By the way, there was great disappointment at the ab- sence of W. Atlee Burpee, as it had been announced that he intended being ])resent. The best varieties in Mr. Bolton's exhibit were Earl Spencer, Mrs. Ireland, Tom Bolton, George Stark and two new varieties of his raising, R. F. Felton and Charles Foster. The best trade exhibits were from Sutton & Sons, Reading; Dobbie & Co., Edinburgh; Robert Bolton, Carnforth; E. W. King & Co., Coggeshall, and C. W. Breadmore, Winchester, to whom gold medals were awarded. Five silver gilt medals and a dozen silver medals were awarded to other trade exhibitors. The quality all around was ahead of all previous shows. At the dinner held the same evening N. N. Sherwood, of Hurst & Son, president of the society, occu- pied the chair. The inspection of the society's 312 trials of sweet peas, carried out by Charles Foster at Times Experimental Station, Guildford, took place July 14, nearly 100 members taking part. It was generally conceded that the trials had been most satisfactorily conducted, and the stocks generally were consider- ably better than in previous years. July 15 Hurst & Sons' acres of sweet peas were visited at Kelvedon, Essex. Then Dobbie & Co. 'a seed farm at Marks Tey, Essex, came in for inspec- tion. The prospects at the present mo- ment for good crops of seed are de- cidedly favorable. Bee. ERICAS. We would like some information about ericas as winter-blooming pot plants. Are they profitable plants to growl What are the best varieties for commercial use, and where can stock be purchased? We would also like a few hints on their culture. We live in Toronto, Out. J. S. & S. Several varieties of ericas should do quite well with you. The reason thes:3 are less grown in America than in Europe is that our hot summers are hard on many sorts. There are, how- ever, one or two sorts which do ex- tremely well and are quite profitable as market plants in the larger cities. E. melanthera is more grown than all others combined. This variety seems to flower here even better than in Europe and can safely be taken in hand by any intelligent florist. Several grow- ers in and around New York and Bos- ton specialize in these plants, and offers of plants are made in The Review from time to time. Cuttings root comparatively easily any time during the winter if young shoots two inches long are used. An ordinary cutting bench as prepared for carnations will suit them. Bottom heat is not needed and would, in fact be more harmful than helpful. Pot off into small pots when rooted and grow out- doors, plunged in a bed of coal a-hes the first season. Some growers grow altogether in pots, but I find that if after flowering they are well pruned back and allowed to break and are planted outdoors in any good soil, where they can be hosed over once or twice a day in hot weather, they will ;,uc. ceed far better than if kept in pots. They should be lifted and potted SDme time before frost arrives. The old idea that peat was necessary for heaths does not hold good with melanthera, Caffra densa, Mediterranea, hyemalis, gracilis, persoluta alba and Vilmoreana, all of which succeed well planted out. The waxy ericas, with their beauti ful terminal inflorescences, are grown by such experts as A. Schultheis, Thomas Roland and Louis Dupuy, but are much more difficult to cultivate than tho varieties previously named. They like peat better than loam, but are not plants to recommend to anyone who is not a first-class plantsman. Erica melanthera can be had in flower for Christmas or can be retarded as late as Easter. It keeps in bloom a long time, and if you want to try ericas you can safely try a good batch 01 it. Its culture is simple. Like all ericas, it wants a cold, airy house and will not stand any forcing. C. W. New Orleans, La. — The stork recently visited the home of Henry Cook with twin daughters.

I wish you would let me know what to do for the following conditions: I grow carnations mainly. The ground in this part of the country is all more or less sour. I kept it sweet last year with difficulty by means of air-slaked lime, limestone being scarce. The lime has to be shipped in in barrels, which I paid for at the rate of $1.50 per 2^^ bushel barrel; this makes it quite ex- pensive. A friend told me to buy fine ground limestone and mix this with the soil, which I did this year. I used 400 pounds to 1,800 square feet, but I find the green scum appearing already. Do you think the ground stone has the same effect as the slaked lime, and did I use enough? I read some time ago about watering with lime water, but the instructions did not state what kind of lime to use. Do you use quicklime or air-slaked lime, and how many pounds to 100 gallons? How often would you use it on this kind of ground? E. B. I do not believe that you would find it more economical to use ground lime- stone than to use the burnt article. At any rate, the amount of lime you could safely use in your carnation soil should not be a large item in your expense ac- count. While lime is a useful and valu- able article, you must still bear in mind that it is possible to use too much of it. Much damage is done in this way. We have known instances where so much lime was mixed in the soil that no plant ^ould grow in it. If soil is so sour that the adding of «'> peck of air-slaked lime to a wagon- !i'ad of soil will not sweeten it suffi- •^iently to use, any additional lime ridded will not likely make it any bet- ■or. It would be better not to use the • 'il at all. Bear in mind, also, that soil lying in •' pile will sour more quickly than when |t is spread out on a bench. A little i>me sprinkled over the bench and wa- 'f^red in, in the winter, will sweeten it ^vonderfully. We prefer using it that 'vay to watering with lime water. After 'loing as I have suggested, it might still ^>e found necessary to apply a light "prinkKng over the soil once J|^teMe 'luring the winter. ^^^B» You will also find it an effective rem- ^'dy to stir the surface of the soil fre- quently in the fall and early winter. This allows the air to penetrate more treely, which will help keep the soil from souring. A. F. J. B. STOLBA'S CARNATION HOUSE. Most growers will admit that large greenhouses have their advantages and all growers will agree that the best and brightest houses are none too good. It is proper, also, that much should be said and written about the wonders that are performed in the growing of carnations in the mammoth modern structures. But the oft-told tale of huge houses and prize products may become monotonous or depressing to some readers, and it may be interesting or encouraging to get an occasional view of successful carnation growing under less favorable conditions, since many florists are not blessed with modern houses, large or small. If any growers are unduly impressed by the idea that they are handicapped unless their houses are of the latest iron-frame construction, as wide and as high as a coliseum and with length in proportion, let them look at the pic- ture here shown, of a carnation house of the William Stolba Floral Co., at Cedar Rapids, la. Mr. Stolba can grow a heavy crop of blooms that are satis- factory to his patrons, and he certainly makes no pretensions of having a strictly up-to-date house. The photo- graph was taken May 30, and on that day Mr. Stolba cut 1,000 blooms from the two 40-foot benches. FEEBLE, SLEEPY PLANTS. Will you please let us know what is the matter with our carnation plants, a sample of which we send you? What shall we do so they will get long, strong stems? They were planted late last fall, and during the winter they acted as if they were asleep. We did not plant them outdoors this summer, but left them in the benches. Please tell us if they are likely to bloom well this winter. How should we treat them? A. T. If the specimens you forwarded are a fair sample of your plants, I would not think of leaving them in the benches -for blooming next year. They show plainly that they were planted too late last fall to be of any use last win- ter, unless they received most excellent culture. They should have made more growth toward spring, however, which leads one to believe that the soil must have been poor. I would advise you to throw out these plants, get your houses refilled Gu-nation House of William Stolba. 10 The Weekly Florists' Review* JUI.V L'N. lit] SWEET PEAS IN ENGLAND.

"We know of no better white rose," is the way A. N. Pierson expresses his opinion of "White Killarney. This reply was called out by the statement published in The Eeview of Juiy 14, to the effect that the A. N. Pierson corporation "is not entirely satisfied with White Killarney, and will grow it less extensively the coming sea- son. ' ' The fact is, Mr. Pierson is cut- ting down the number of the white sport and giving additional space for the original variety, simply to make a better balance of cut flower production and noi because of any dissatisfaction with White .Killarney. What W. R. Pierson -says on the subject is of inter- est: "We, .have sold during the past year 185,000 plants of White Killarney, and we expect to sell White Killarney heav- ily another year. We know of no bet- ter white rose than White Killarney, and we are growing no other white with the exception of one bench of Bride and a few Kaiserin. It is true that we are cutting down slightly on White Killarney, but it is not because we are dissatisfied with the rose. "Expecting a heavy stock businr^s in White Killarney this last year, \' o planted more White Killarney than \ve would have planted under other con. i- tions, in order to give us plenty of wo tl to propagate.

Tlie llrst week in August is suHi- ricutly early to make a sowing of mig- nonette under glass. ^Mignonette wants a low 1em]ierature. if strong spikes are wanted. Solid beds are better than raised l)enches, as in them the roots are coob»r and more uniformly moist. If raised lienches are used, there should be no heating pipes below them. Some of the linest batches of mignonette ever seen were bench-grown in seven inches of soil. ^Mignonette wants more soil than carnations. It should not Ix^ less than six inches and eight inches would be better. The conqiost should l>o quite rich; such as has been prepared for the mum benches will answer well. Make the snrface fairly smooth. Sow the seed in little }>atches. eighteen inches between the rows and twelve inches apart in the rows, thinning the seedlings out to three of the strongest. One is in reality sufllcient, if strong spikes are desired. The seedlings will soon appear and in this hot weather it is not long before they run up to fiower. The first flower would be of little value, so it is best to pinch the plants back and get a strong break from the bottom. By the time these flower, we will be getting colder weather and they will come of steadily improving quality. First-class mignonette is only to be had, however, in the cold months, February and March being perhaps the best period. Mi- gnonette wants a light, cool and airy liouse. A night temperature as near 40 degrees as possible in winter is what it needs. Keep the soil around the little piants constantly stirred and do not allow weeds to get any foothold. Berried Solanums. The little plants of berried solanums in the field are now growing along nicely. Pinch the tops out of any which seem to be running up too much. The plants will require no special at- tention during the next six weeks, but keep the soil well stirred. Even in the driest weather they will need no water if a loose surface is maintained. So- lanums grown outdoors and lifted make much bigger, heavier and better fruited plants than can be had in pots. In ad- dition, the latter method of culture en- tails a lot of labor in watering in the hot months, with plants not worth half the money the lifted ones are. Try both plans and you can easily satisfy your- self as to which mode of culture is the best. Solanums need not be lifted and ])otted before the early part of Sep- tember. Kept shaded for a few days and freely syringed, they speedily be- come established. Ardisia Crenulata. It is a ]nty that that beautiful and popular berried plant, Ardisia crenulata, cannot be grown as quickly as the so- lanums. Probably if it were its value would quickly decline. The plants make satisfactory headway in cold- frames (luring the summer months, partly plunging the pots in fine oal ashes and spraying them freely \ spray nozzle used once a week will eh, to keep scale in check. Keep>seedl ig^ which have the pots well filled itlj roots, shifted as they require it. ' kv like a compost containing two par! of loam to one part fibrous peat, ad inir a little cow manure, leaf-mold and s ruL ZVo matter whether in coldframe or greenhouses, the ardisias shouhl Miit have a heavy shade. They should Is,, be grown fairly warm, especially pi. uts of fruiting size wanted for Christinas. It is necessary to have the berries .cll ripened for the holidays. No ma icr how excellent plants you may h, \e, they will sell poorly if the berries arc not well colored. Seed can be siwn at any time and if it is desired to r li-o a fresh batch, gather some berries hhI sow them at once. Asters. The latest batch of asters should i, ,\v be planted in the field, selecting if pos- sible a cool, moist day for the woik. In spite of the continued hot and dry weather, the early batches are looking remarkably well, and now that carna- tions are practically valueless, mc' aster flowers come in useful. It is imt possible to cultivate the plants ton freely. Once the soil is allowed to bake, the plants in hot weather ^\\\\ [coiilinnfd on patiu Si.l PIERSON ON WHITE KILLARNEY. "We know of no better white rose," is the way A. N. Pierson expresses his opinion of "White Killarney. This reply was called out by the statement published in The Review of July 14, to the effect that the A. N. Pierson corporation "is not entirely satisfied with White Killarney, and will grow it less extensively the coming sea- son." The fact is, Mr. Pierson is cut- ting down the number of the white sport and giving additional space for the original variety, simply to make a better balance of cut flower production and not because of any dissatisfaction with White Killarney. What W. R. Pierson says on the subject is of inter- est: "We have sold during the past year 18.5,000 plants of White Killarney, and we expect to sell White Killarney heav- ily another year. We know of no bet- ter white rose than White Killarney, and we are growing no other white with the exception of one bench of Bride and a few Kaiserin. It is true that we are cutting down slightly ■ White Killarney, but it is not becau we are dissatisfied with the rose. "Expecting a heavy stock busin- in White Killarney this last year, ^ planted more White Killarney than \ would have planted under other con> tions, in order to give us plenty of wo to propagate. Our planting last yi consisted of 32,000 White Killarney'n less than 30,000 Pink Killarney. C' ]danting this year varies from this that we are planting ;"),000 less Wh Killarney and about 8,000 more Pi Killarney, the change being made give us a better balance of color filling our orders for cut roses." Mr. Pierson 's special reason for wi ing to have the matter correctly und stood is this: "Two years ago, when White K larney came out, we withdrew our o\ White Killarney, giving preference the Waban strain, and we are growi' the Waban strain exclusively, whi' originated at Natick. A great ma' people might get an idea from the ito referred to, if not explained, that tl reason we were not entirely satisfi' with White Killarney was due to t! fact that we had perhaps some of ou own White Killarney that we consi' ered inferior to the Waban stock." jtr.Y 28, 1910.

The superintendent of the trade ex- hibit is specially anxious that all ex- hibits be ready on the first day of the convention, and therefore requests "all exhibitors who intend entering novel- ties and new devices to be submitted for awards at the S. A. F. convention, Rochester, X. Y., August 16 to 19, to send their entries at once. The list must be ready for the judges on the morning of the first day, Tuesday, August 16." These entries should be mailed to Chas. H. Vick, superintendent, 191 Main street, Rochester, N. Y. Bowling teams holding permanent trophies should advise the chairman of the S. A. F. bowling committee (A. F. Yick, P. O. Box 613, Rochester, N. Y.) whether the cup will be forwarded bj' express in advance of the convention, or brought by some member of the team. The local committee would pre- fer to have the trophies in Rochester several days before the convention. The trade exhibit promises to be the banner show in the history of the S. A. F. According to Superintendent Vick's diagram of Convention hall, most of the space on the ground floor of the main building is engaged; only a- small amount remains in the annex, and a number of representative firms have se- cured space in the basement. And, by the way, the basement is not an un- desirable place; it is light, well ven- tilated, cool, and affords ample space for any line ot goods. E. F. R. Hotels at Rochester. The hotels at Rochester are preparing to accommodate all who may attend the S. A. F. convention, but the wise visitor will engage his room at an early date.

Ansonia, Conn. — At the monthly meeting of the Intertown Dahlia Asso- ciation, held July 15 at the Arlington assembly rooms, the annual dahlia ex- hibition and other important matters were considered. It was thought that the dahlia show would probably be held the second Saturday in September. Elmira, N. Y.— The United States Cut Flower Co. is considering plans for an enlargement of its greenhouses. The new addition will probably comprise from 25,000 to 50,000 square feet of glass. In spite of the fact that 59,000 square feet of glass has been added since the original range was built, the company has lately been compelled to decline many new orders. Morrison, 111.— The E. E. Davis Co. has been incorporated, with a capital stock of $60,000, by E. E. Davis, J. W. Steiner and Frank L. Davis. It is said that the new company is a consolida- tion of the two firms of florists, E. E. Davis & Co. and Davis & Steiner. The objects of the company, as stated in the articles of incorporation, are "horticul- tural and live stock business, and deal- ers in gravel, cement and fertilizers," but the present intention is to limit operations to the florists' business, the other lines of trade being merely future possibilities.

Grimes & Son and the Mauff Floral Co. all made liberal donations for this pur- pose. Slingerlands, N. Y. — President Gol- dring of the Albany Florists' Club showed the crowd that attended the outing, July 7, what can be accom- plished with opportunity and abundance of grit to take advantage of it. The fall show will be a big success. All who partook of his generous hospitality promised their assistance. Fred A. Danker is a first-class aid.

Besults bring advertising. The Eeview brings results. This is the time to plan the lines on which you will push with the opening of another season — for of course you wUl push ! "Collections are not so good as they might be," remarks a contemporary. Verily, brother, they are not; but they always are just as good as the credit man's judgment, and never are any bet- ter. Usually at this season there is an abundance of experienced greenhouse help, but this year the places open out- number those seeking employment. Note that in the Want department there are more Help Wanted advertisements than Situations Wanted. Consider that when you lump your business your account becomes valuable to the house that has it — worth watching and working to retain — but when you buy a little here, a little there and a lit- tle everywhere it does not amount to enough to anyone to command special attention. The number of retail flower stores in the smaller cities is increasing with nota- ble rapidity. In most cases they are con- ducted in connection with greenhouses in the outskirts, but in many not large places a retail store drawing supplies from a city market has proved its ability to stand on its own feet. CONVENTION INVITATIONS. The S. A. F. is so greatly in demand that it is becoming the practice to speak years in advance for its conventions. At its last meeting the New Orleans Horticultural Society made a bid for 1915. It makes the list of invitations stand as follows: St. Louis 1911 Montreal 1912 New Orleans 1915 WON'T MISS ANY. Many subscribers send, instead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-two visits of The Review, $2, $3 or occa- sionally $5 — it saves the bother of yearly renewal. Enclosed yon will find |5 for five years. I would not miss The Review for anything; It's the best paper out- — P. L. Larson, Fort Dodge, la., July 20, 1910. ST. LOXnS FLOWER SHOW. The St. Louis Horticultural Society gives notice that, in addition to the regular listd of premiums offered for the fall show, which will be held in the Coliseum, November 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, the following special prizes are offered: For best display of roses, $500; best display of chrysanthemums, $500; best display of carnations, $500. The addition of the $1,500 in prizes is mtvde possible through the citizens' committee, who, under the leadership of Capt. Kobt. McCulloch, are cooperat- ing with the Horticultural Society and will give St. Louis one of the greatest flower showis ever held. All growers throughout the central states and ihe east are urged to stimulate the offer ng of prizes in such liberal quantity by prompt and liberal entry in the ab >ve classes. Prospective exhibitors v.-in please apply for spaces requirdd ; nd further particulars to Otto G. Koei ig secretary. AMERICAN GLADIO di» SOCIETY. In addition to the premiums alrei;dy announced, to be awarded at the Ech- ester show, August 16 to 19, a prize of $10 has been offered by H. H. Groff for the best exhibit in white and ligiit, dark, yellow and blue hybrids; not more than three spikes of any one variety (i. e., one to three spikes); one or more vases of each color section; quality aiul value only to govern. '^•i^,: L. Merton Gage, Cor. Sec'y. MOTHS IN GREENHOUSE. In The Eeview of July 21, page 12, T. B. tells of a certain kind of moths which invaded his greenhouses by the hundreds, and which he was unable to exterminate by means of nicotine fu- migation or spraying. I think the pests which troubled him were probably the same as those which I once had in my houses, and which are called leaf-tiers. It may seem odd, but the only effective remedy we found for them was to hit them with a piece of lath. This process took some time, but we Anally cleaned them all out, Adolph Frost. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. Some of the wholesale houses say that the market has now become a three- days-a-week affair, but they all agree that Friday, Saturday and Monday busi- ness is good; some of them find some- thing doing other days, and on the whole it may be said that business is excellent for the season. Several houses that found early July business about on a par with last year are now report- ing fine increases as compared with a year ago. There is so little good stock in tho market that the off-hand version is that a great deal more business might be done if supplies were larger, but tk ' fact is that the call for flowers is nc t suflBciently insistent to carry prices much above the ordinary summer levc; buyers simply walk out if prices ai ' not to their liking. The principal demand is for roses, bi t the principal shortage is of asters. K • tailers appear to be using roses becaus- they are better and more abundai than other flowers. Beauty crops no < are light and Killarney is the mo^' plentiful of roses. White roses are sel • ing well, because a large part of th work this season is for funerals. Whit " Killarney is more abundant than Kai'^- erin. It would be the ideal summf' rose if the color were purer. In pin'^ roses, My Maryland is coming in quit ' heavily, but it is not selling so well as • Killarney. The buyers like My Mary- 'lato^lffa rdle, but those out of town say it does not reach them in as goo<' shape as Killarney. Shipping quality is one of the most important factors that go to make a flower good for thi^ market. Eichmond is slow sale; peopl^^ do not want red in red hot weath%r.

The aster crop is late and it is the hiatus caused by the departure of the carnations and the non-arrival of the asters that is creating all the stir in the market. It appears that all through the central west the dry weather has held back the asters. True, considerable quantities of small white asters are now available, but the supply of really first-class stock is negligible. Sweet peas are like Jefif; they have tried to come back, after practically disappearing from the market, but they are not able to make good; the stems are so short only the lowest of prices can be obtained. There are large sup- plies of gladioli, of which^America con- tinues to be the beell that is retarding development of these special flowers. GLADIOLI Large supplies of light pink (America), $6.00 to $8.00 per 100; also Augusta (white), and other leading varieties, $4.00 to $6.00. This is fine stock.

This firm also made the casket cover of White Killarney and valley. It was stated that their work for this one funeral would amount to over $600 in value. Other leading retailers also had considerable work for this funeral. Eventually the Geo. Wittbold Co. ex- pects to replace all its horse-drawn wagons with motor trucks. An order already has been given for a 1,500- pound truck to be built by the Chicago Motor Wagon Co., and figuring is being done on a number of larger tntcks to be used in place of the present wagons. The company now has thirty horses of its own and is hiring about fourteen others. This firm is hauling a large quantity of soil for the new Lincoln park addition. It was stated that fu- neral work kept the retail department on the jump last week. : Ernst Rober, at Maywood, says he has 50,000 poinsettia cuttings that soon will be ready for shipment from pots. W. J. Smyth is summering, as usual, at bis cottage at Lake Marie, visiting the store usually once a week. Phil Schupp has been spending ^ few days at Geneva Lake, where the Bud- long families summer. A. H. Budlong goes up for the week-ends when Mr. Schupp stays in town. E. C. Amling and his family and H. N. Bruns and son motored to Lake Marie for a few days' fishing last week. • Will Hocrber spent July 25 at the greenhouses of Hoerber Bros.. Des Plaines. The new range is almost com- pleted and stock looking well. Gus Alios, at the store of Wietor Bros., says he does not remember a time when business has been so good at this season. George Pieser, of Zech & Mann's, is among the week's absentees. George Eeinberg has bought a tour- ing car. Henry Kruchten is putting in his time at the greenhouses as usual in sum- mer, helping his father, Nick Kruchten, get things going for the new season. In the winter he assists his brother, John Kruchten, in the wholesale store. Fred Sperry is on the sick list. A. L. Vaughan, Vho is just back from his va- cation, says Saturday's business, July 23, was like a winter day. O. Johnson, who sells in the Flower Growers' Market as the Batavia Green- house Co., said July 25 that he still had 500 dozen peonies in storage. Klehm's Nurseries, Kennicott & Son and Schiller each had small quantities remaining. W. E. Lynch has been out among the aster growers, sizing up the situation. He says it is the general statement that, although the plants given good atten- tion look well, the rate of development after showing bud is extremely slow. Along with the first asters, Kennicott Bros. Co. has received lancifolium lilies, tuberoses and tritomas. C. M. Dickinson took his family to Pelican lake last week, intending to re- main only a few days. Word that he had caught a 25-pound muskie indicates a postponement of his return. Mrs. E. H. Hunt is at Broadhead, N. Y. John Poehlmann says sales are now running quite a little heavier than a year ago. Poehlmann Bros. Co. has be- gun to cut Golden Glow mums. A few asters are being grown this year. George Poehlmann is on his vacation. John Mangel makes an extremely pretty window decoration of water lilies, in many varieties and colors, from George Schwing. An adjourned meeting of the Horti cultural Society will be held at the Art Institute August 2, at which it is ex pected to elect a president and get busy on fall show matters. Henry Van Gelder, manager of th< Percy Jones business, speaking of col lections, said July 25 that almost ninet; per cent of the June accounts had beer paid.

The carnation crop is nearly at an end and such as are coming to the mar- ket are small and sleepy looking, as a rule. However, the vanguard of the asters has appeared and these will adequately fill the void caused by the passing of the carnation. The first of these are being cut by Joseph Kopelman at his farm in Oaklawn and by the War- wick Greenhouses. Business is prac- tically at a standstill, only occasional funeral orders keeping things moving. Several of the downtown retailers are taking advantage of the respite to make needed alterations and improvements in their stores. Club Outing. In lieu of the regular monthly meet- ing, the members «f the Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island, July 18, made a pilgrimage to the Ehod'e Island College, at Kingston, where a most profitable afternoon was passed. Fifteen members of the club responded to the call issued by President Bobert Johnston and, in addition, Jackson Daw- son, M. H. Norton and William J. Stew- art, of Boston, joined the party. Among others who participated were F. C. Green, superintendent of parks, and John F. McCarthy, superintendent of Swan Point cemetery. Under the direc- tion of Secretary William E. Chappell, the party went to Kingston, where they were met by Dr. H. J. Wheeler, director of the experiment station, and Dr, How- ard Edwards, president of the college. A substantial dinner was served, after which the grounds and buildings were investigated and the work that is being done at the college was explained.

Roses have shortened up materially and move a little better at improved prices. Outside of Kaiserin and Carnot, few flowers are seen of even ordinary qual- ity. Carnations are fewer in numbers and poorer than at any time this sea- son. The bulk of growers have stopped sending in and are busy replanting their stock. Asters are rather more plentiful and sell as well as anything. The kind most in evidence is Queen of the Market. Sweet peas improved last week with the cooler weather, but the hot wave, which started July 23, is again spoiling them, the pink and scar- let shades coming badly faded out. 19 ON'T let the hot weather stop you from writing a postal to : : : The Pioe Tree Silk Mills Company PHILADELPHIA For Samples of Ribbons and Chiffons You will need them this season more than ever; our line is always ready, at the lowest prices, which are manufacturer's figures.

James Wheeler has the interior of his big new carnation house plowed up and ready for planting, which will be done at once. All the plants will be set in the ground, at least for the first season. The house will present a fine appearance when in crop. George M. Anderson, of Milton, has the sincere sympathy of a wide circle of friends in the loss of his estimable wife, whose death occurred July 16, after a lingering illness. Mrs. Ander- son was known and esteemed by many in the trade. The interment took place July 19, when there were many beauti- ful floral tributes. William Sim is a busy man these days. He has a large part of his big block of sweet corn marketed, which was started in pots. He also has a heavy daily pick of tomatoes, which are still bringing 12% cents to 18 cents per pound at wholesale. A party of fishing enthusiasts from ILLY 28, 1910. ThcWeddy Florists' Review.

Azaleas, palms and other plants, in which Mr. Leuthy specializes, will be bought in large numbers. After a cool and invigorating week, the hot wave returned July 23. The two following days, with maximum tem- peratures of 94 degrees, were about the most disagreeable of the present sum- mer. We continue to have a serious deficiency in rainfall. W. E. Turner is back from a vaca- tion spent at Jefferson, Me., and re- ports fishing as being extra good. The hot weather does not prevent active canvassing for the S. A.

Few growers can get such stems on their flowers as Mr. Parker. The Waban Conservatories are ship- ping extra fine Kaiserin roses at pres- ent. They are planting a house of W. H. Elliott 's specialty, Mrs. Aaron Ward, this season. W. N. Craig. SHADINa FOB HOUSES. Will you kindly tell me how to make a preparation for shading my house f I want something that will wash off easily. I do not want to use white- wash, as it is so hard to remove. L. M. S. Kerosene or naphtha and white lead make as neat and satisfactdry a prepa- ration as any you could use. It can be either sprayed on with a force pump, or on smaller houses put on with a long- handled, flat whitewash brush. Frost and snow will remove this. It can also be rubbed off when desired. Be sure not to use any linseed oil, or the shad- ing will be very hard to remove. If you want a shading to come off more easily still, use whiting and kerosene. This will be more liable to wash off, however, during heavy rains. C. 24 The Weekly Florists^ Review* July 28, lf)i i.

The feature of a quiet market is the increase in the supply of asters; there are three timealRB many asters coming into town todaJTas there were a week ago. They are^welcome, for with the absence of carnations and the extreme shortage of white roses the asters often do duty for both. Queen of the Mar- ket is the only variety arriving. A few of the best have brought more than listed quotations, but most of the asters are only fair in quality, not the kind of flowers that command advanced prices. It seems that the dark shades are in better form early than the pink and white; at any rate, there are a good many more lavender-purple than any other shade and they average bet- ter in quality. The other features of the market are the continued scarcity of white roses (it is promised Kaiserin will be more plentiful soon) ; the continued supply of gladioli, and the fine quality of the Easter lilies, a quality so goiid during this hot, dry weather as to command a market wherever it is possible to use large lilies. Sweet peas from down east are exceptionally fine, the stems slightly drought shortened. Water lilies have been strengthened by the arrival of lotuses. There is a good supply of nice valley, while Beauties, Maryland and Killarney of fair quality are usually obtainable. The shipping demand is fair, limited sometimes by the supply that is good enough to ship. Greens are dull. The Annual Meeting at Dreer's. The annual meeting of the Henry A. Dreer Co., Inc., was held at Riverton, N. J., on the afternoon of July 16. The present officers were reelected: Presi- dent, William F. Dreer; vice-president, Jacob D. Eisele; treasurer, Herbert G. Tull; secretary, J. Otto Thilow. Per- haps the most significant way of de- scribing the company's condition is to tell of the auto trip that followed the meeting, a trip taken to inspect the new 124-acre farm, lying along the tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad to the east of the present large plant, where it is proposed to build a modern range of greenhouses, with packing shed so conveniently arranged that the railroad may discharge and receive sup- plies directly, saving time and expense in hauling.

If the black aster beetles appear and band picking proves ineffective, it is better to spray the plants with weak Paris green water. Any slight discolor- ation of white flowers is easily re- moved by merely dipping the heads in water after picking. Schizanthus Wisetonensis. Schizanthus Wisetonensis makes one of the most beautiful of pot plants, and ita keeping qualities when cut are equal to those of carnations. A nice batch at Christmas should sell well, as the plants have such a bushy, neat and at the same time graceful appearance. Sow the seeds in flats. Pot off singly when large enough to handle and keep the plants potted along, using 6-inch or 7-inch pots at the final shift. A cold- frame will be even better than a green- house for the plants for the next eight or ten weeks. Keep the little plants pinched freely until the early part of October. This insures more compact plants. The other varieties of schizan- thus, such as grandiflorus, oculatus and retuBus albus, are pretty, but too tall growing for pot plants. There are im- proved types of S. Wisetonensis offered, with flowers of double the size of the original type. Schizanthus wants cool house culture at all times. Ohrysanthemuin Maximum Edward Vn.

The value of this coreopsis planted out in a cool house for spring flowering, or grown in pots, which can be allowed to root through into a bench, is not yet fully understood. The flowers are four inches across, golden yellow, petals overlap- ping, and the stems are long. As a Memorial day crop it is invaluable. The plants should be potted in late fall and kept in a coldframe until the end of January, when they should be brought into gentle heat. The seedlings come up quickly and should be allowed nine to twelve inches apact in the rows when transplanted, as they attain con- siderable size before fall. The Cali- fornian form, Eldorado, has extra large flowers. The old lanceolata is not nearly so good as grandiflora, the flowers being much smaller. A NOETH COLDFBAME. What can I grow in a coldframe on .the north side of my greenhouse? The wall is five feet high. Would it be good {for pansies and daisies? It does not eet anv sun in the winter months. * ^ H. C. G. Such plants as pansies, violas, myo- sotis and daisies will winter all right in such a frame as you describe. After the soil about them has frozen hard, ^ive them a covering of pine needles or perfectly dry leaves and place sashes iover them. Leave this covering on until 'the coil thaws out. During mild spells [in winter, tilt up the sashes to let some j.air in to the plants. So long as the leaves or pine needles keep quite dry, the plants will winter all right, but if broken glass allows snow or rain to get in, a number are likely to damp off. It would be a good plan to place board shutters over the glass during the cold months. C. W. Palo Alto, Cal. — President Lathrop, of the board of regents of Stanford University, will at once commence the erection of four iron-frame greenhouses on his estate near this place.

Not a great deal of stock is coming in, but it sells readily at fair prices. The quality of everything is much better than for some time. The listless spirit that has pervaded the market has disappeared. Buyers no longer just drop around and see what is going on, but place their orders and are on hand to see that they are filled. Beauties are the best of the roses and bring a good average price. A few of the first cuts from the young stock have arrived. Carnations are now practically done until the new cut begins. Easter lilies of good quality are offered. Gladi- oli, especially the finer varieties, find a ready sale. White asters are now more plentiful, while the dark shades are scarce. Little valley can be had. Other stock offered includes hardy hydrangeas, small callas, cornflowers, asters and Shasta daisies. The supply of decorative greens is sufficient for all demands. Club Outing. The members, both individually and collectively, of the outing committee of the Florists' Society, deserve congratu- lations for the careful and efficient way in which they planned and executed their plans for the annual outing and picnic of the club at the Country Club, Thursday, July 21. Everything showed the same system and evenness of run- ning as the well-oiled machine of the Chicago Cubs displays in its dash for the pennant. Everybody went away well satisfied and no knocks have been heard. The majority of the various events were hotly contested. In the boys' ball game the store boys triumphed by only one run.

In the race for men 40 years of age or over, J. T. Conger walked away from the field. The three tugs of war, for ladies, men and boys, were close; the sides captained re- spectively by Mrs. K. Zitscher, Wm. Murphy and Sidney George, were re- turned winners. Al. Heckman, though closely pressed, took first in the foot race open to all. The sack race for boys furnished plenty of amusement for the crowd; W. Dellar finally won this event. Miss Jennie Adrian and Mrs. Ernst Manthey were winners in the two egg races. The growers climbed all over the store men in the men's ball game, to the tune of 19 to 1. The se- lection of Arthur Manthey and Miss Stella Heckermeyer, Al. Heckman and Miss Jennie /idrian, and Mr. and Mrs. Ray Murphy for the prizes for the most graceful couples in the waltzing con- test meant keen work on the part of the judges. The whole affair was in every way a howling success. At a special meeting of the society, held during the picnic, it was definitely decided to send a bowling team to Rochester to represent the society. Cer- tain necessary funds were voted.

In this the even- ing was a success, and such meetings will undoubtedly have a tendency to get the various firms to work together to one common end, namely, to boost the florists ' business. The party sang * ' Auld Lang Syne" and broke up as the "wee sma' hours" of the morning were grow- ing large. Weiland & dinger's summer Beauties are finding a ready market. C. E.

Now it's the corn crop that is the basis for the scare. Weather too dry in the corn belt. The trade seems to be free from one worry: No one appears to be concerned about the crop of onion. Wholesale seedsmen who have booked a lot of business for delivery out of 1910 crops are beginning to wonder — prices are steadily going up. J. J. Utter, Bravo, Mich., wrote July 26 that beans were doing well, vine seeds fair, turnips good, but sweet corn will be a short crop, as it appears to him. Seedsmen will be interested in the Stokes and Willard note and in the Dreer note in the Philadelphia news- letter, beginning on page 24 of this issue. The prospect for a good crop of beans grows daily less. Some of the fields will turn out practical failures and not many, it is said, will yield what the growers bad hoped. And a good bean crop would have been useful. W. H. Grenell says the situation of beans in Michigan is becoming serious. To him it appears that the chances of a good crop have gone by and no better than a short crop is possible. Many fields, he says, look like a failure of crop. Mes. C. C. Moese, widow of the pioneer seed grower of California, died at her home in Santa Clara, July 14. Mrs. Morse crossed the plains in the early 50 's and had lived in the neighborhood of San Jose for many years. She is sur- vived by a grown-up family, of whom Lester Morse is at the head of the house of C. C. Morse & Co. An attorney whose specialty is com- mercial law states that no part of what may be printed on a letter-head is a part of a contract unless it be between the date line and the signature, except a reference appears between those parts to ptractically bring the outside words yfimn the body of the letter itself.

There are reports that many fields will do well to return the stock. Dry, hot weather is general all over the country. To say the least, it is doing no good to crops, and seed crops are to the seed trade as important as any others this year. We need the seeds. The Society of Seed and Vegetable Growers was formed July 2 at Winschoten, Holland, including a number of seed growers in the Groningen district. Hommo Ten Have is chairman of the first committee of managers. Adam Currie, of Currie Bros. Co., seedsmen, Milwaukee, expresses the opinion that scraping the bark off trees, in an attempt to exterminate the tussock moth, is more harmful than the moth and really does irreparable damage.

Not only vine seeds, espe- cially cantaloupe and cucumber, but many other articles now are produced there in quantity. Referring to the seasonableness of things at Rocky Ford, D. V. Burrell said July. 19: "Growing conditions here continue very favorable and, with a few excep- tions, our crops promise full delivery on contracts.

"Writing in Holland early in July, tho correspondent of one of the English trade journals said: "The lifting was started fully two weeks ahead of last year. No doubt that the warm weather will not miss its favorable effect on the flowering ca- pacities of this year's bulbs, but it also means considerable less quantity in the crop. At the present moment it is es- timated that the general crop of bulbs will be twepty-five per cent less than last year's, and although the early tulips, that had almost finished growth when the hot weather came on, have not suffered so much, it is quite certain that the late or May-flowering tulips will prove to be a poor crop. Crocus have also died off far too early, and will not be as good as last year; but narcissus and iris are likely to bring quite as good a crop, although the acre- age planted out is not as large. Spiraea are just now in full bloom and making a beautiful show, but not one-half the usual quantity is planted out, as last year's sales have kept the stocks too close. ' ' BACTEBIA CORPOBATION FAILS. Another of the nitrogen fixing bac- teria companies has succumbed to the difficulties of introducing its product, a petition in bankruptcy having been filed July 22 against the Standard Ni- trogen Co. at New York. The company is a South Dakota cor- poration, incorporated October 1, 1909, with capital stock of $10,000,000, di- vided into 2,000,000 shares at $5 each, to manufacture a patent fertilizer for agricultural purposes, by producing cul- tures of bacteria which absorb nitrogen from the air. The fertilizer was put up in small bottles, and a 50-cent bottle was said to inoculate a bushel of seed or 100 pounds of soil. The company, it i« said, bou^t 2,500 acres of land at Tuckerton, N. J., anct 1,000 acres at Norwich, Conn., for experimental pur- poses, and had a laboratory and plant at Eichmond, Va. Considerable money was spent in de- veloping the business, but it did not prove as profitable as anticipated, and some of the men interested in the com- pany withdrew. "William P. Kellogg, former United States senator and gov- ernor of Louisiana, whose name ap- peared on the list of directors, with- drew, it is said, several months ago. G. E. Heyl is president. Liabilities of the company are said to be $86,000 and assets $11,800, consisting of stock $3,000, accounts $5,800, laboratory $2,000, and land $1,000. THE SPECIFIC DUTIES.

Robinson, who in his address at Atlantic City as president of the Amer- ican Seed Trade Association, said: "The satisfaction of knowing just what your goods are to cost you much more than offsets this increase in rate. The whole situation is pertinently ex- pressed by a heavy importer, who says: 'I may say that we are greatly pleased with the operation of the new measure. The possibility of being charged with fraud if goods were entered at the prices paid had been a nightmare to the company's officers for more than thirty years, and under the old system there seemed to be no escape from the di- lemma of running the risk of fine or imprisonment on the one hand or sub- mitting to the humiliation of swearing to false values on the other. No sys- tem of imposts could be worse than one entailing these consequences, and both as seedsmen and citizens we re- joice in the enactment of a schedule which applied equally to the importer of one pound or a thousand tons and which can be administered and com- plied with without stultification.'

Crosinan, of Crosman Bros., has pre- pared an article, **The Seed Trade in Boohester," for publication in the Sou- venir that is to be published to defray part of the expenses. He writes as fol- lows: "The extent to which both whole- sale and retail production of seed is carried on in and about this city is very great and has been for many years. The cultivation of garden and flower seeds in large quantities began in this vicinity about 1838, and has been car- ried on ever since, gradually increasing from year to year. Tracts of land used for the cultivation of seeds in earlier days are now covered with fine resi- dences, and in many instances business blocks have driven seer'-producing in- terests to the suburbs of the city and farther into the country. The county of Monroe has in the past turned out many growers who have established themselves in the business, and have become popular throughout the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

Rochester upwards of 2,000 pounds of aster seed alone are annually produced, embracing not only the standard varie- ties but many of the choice and fancy strains of recent introduction, some of ^hich originated on the farms of Roch- ester growers. The aster seed produced in this locality £nds a market with the largest and most reliable seed houses in the United States, and also reaches the European market. The aster, hav- ing reached tNich a state of perfection and popularity, has been adopted as the emblematic flower of Eochester. "The distribution of seeds from this city annually is very large. The whole- sale seed trade, the commission seed business and the catalogue or mail trade run into carloads daily during the win* ter and spring months, while the retail or counter trade in the various seed houses and stores furnishes employment for fully 1,000 people. Modern inven- tions, by means of complicated ma- chinery for making and filUng the seed packets, are operated in different seed houses in this city.

In fact, it would require twice as many people as does the present manner of putting up and handling by machinery the vast quan- tities of seeds sent out from this city.

Tiie wliole situation is pertinently ex- pressed by a heavy importer, who says: 'I may say that we are greatly pleased with the operation of the new measure. The possibility of being charged with fraud if goods were entered at the prices paid had been a niglitnuire to the company's oflicers for more than thirty years, and under the old system there seemed to be no escape from the di- lemma of running the risk of fine or imprisonment on the one hand or sub- mitting to the humiliation of swearing to false values on the other. No sys- tem of imposts could be worse than one entailing these consequences, and both as seedsmen and citizens we re- joice in the enactment of a schedule which applied equally to the importer of one pound or a thousand tons and which can be administered and com- plied with without stultification.' Tariffs may change, but the seed trade will always stand for specific duties as against ad valorem duties." LILY BULBS.

The seed trade in Rochester is doing its full share of the work of preparing the welcome for the Society of Ameri- can Florists, which holds its annual convention there in August, and Charles W. Crosman, of Crosman Bros., has pre- pared an article, "The Seed Trade in Rochester," for publication in the Sou- venir that is to be published to defray part of the expenses. He writes as fol- lows: "The extent to which both whole- sale and retail ])roduction of seed is carried on in and aV)out this city is very great atid has beiMi for many years. The cultivation of garden and llower seeds in large quantities l)egiin in this vicinity about J,S3S. and has been car- ried on ever since, gradually increasing from year to year. Tracts of land used for the cultivation of seeds in earlier days are now covered with fine resi- dences, and in maiiv instances business Idocl^s have driven seei^-jiroducing in terests to the suburbs of the city and farther into the country. The county of IMonroe has in the jiast turned nut many growers who have established themselves in tlie business, and liave become popular throughout the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

The aster seed produced ' this locality finds a market with the ' ■I'gest and most reliable seed houses '■ the United States, and also reaches /■e European market. The aster, hav- ''g reached such a state of perfection '"d popularity, has been adopted as the ^•nblematic flower of Rochester. "The distribution of seeds from this city annually is very large. The whole- sale seed trade, the commission seed business and the catalogue or mail trade run into carloads daily during the win- ter and spring months, while the retail or counter trade in the various seed houses and stores furnishes employment for fully 1,000 people. Modern inven- tions, by means of complicated ma- chinery for making and filling the seed packets, are operated in different seed houses in this city. These machines very materially reduce the number of hands that would be employed, were we compelled to conduct business as we did ten years ago. In fact, it would require twice as many people as does the present manner of putting up and handling by machinery the vast quan- tities of seeds sent out from this city. "Rochester, which is located in Mon- roe county, is in the center of what is undoubtedly the largest district in the world in the production of dwarf beans, while the acreage in the surrounding counties of dwarf or bush beans of the garden varieties runs into thousands of acres.

The quantity of garden peas sent out from this city is also very large, but this stock is not produced in the immediate vicinity, as in order to produce a high-class sample of peas of superior quality and free from pea-weevil, or so-called pea-bug, seedsmen find it necessary to obtain their supply of peas from more north- em districts, where cool nights prevail during the blooming season. Much more"^ could be said in regard to the produc- tion and distribution of seeds from this city, but I hardly think it necessary, as the reputation sustained by seeds sent out from Eochester is quite sufficient to bear out the statement that Eochester is one of the largest and foremost of cities in the United States in that line." SEEDSMEN'S PERSONALTY. The Albert Dickinson Seed Co., Chi- cago, will this year pay taxes on $430,- 000 personal property, in addition to its big assessment on real estate. Under the Illinois law the assessors ars required to add fifty per cent pen- alty to the assessments made against those who do not file schedules of their personal property. This is the first year the law has been enforced and the Dickinson concern was one of a large number that filed no schedules of per- sonalty. The assessors put them down for $500,000 at West Taylor street and for $90,000 at the Clark street ware- house, which with penalty made a total of $885,000.

The annual meeting was held in a room adjoining the porch, and when Vice-piesident Herman Doescher, in the absence of President A. Alost, opened the meeting, the place was crowded. Charles R. Panter, the secretary, read a cablegram of congratulations from President Alost, who is now attending the exposition at Brussels, Belgium. Mr. Panter read another message of good wishes from Otto Abele, one of the old members, in the form of a telegram sent from Norfolk, Va. Mr. Abele is on his way to his old home in Germany. Harry Papworth, of the Metairie Eidge Nursery, the state vice-president, and a former president of the local as- sociation, was appointed a committee of one to invite the S. A.

In view of the fact that crop is shorter than last year, we advise those who have not already ordered to lose no time doing so. Last year we were not able to meet the demand for our selected Harrisii on late orders. At present we have a good supply, and will be able to take care of early orders; but there should be no delay in ordering, as there is sure to be a scarcity of good stock, especially in the large sizes. We offer selected stock of the original truc^ Harrisii for early forcing, grown from the original true stock — splendid stock for early forcing, for which purpose Harrisii iw so valuable. Our stock is not picked up indiscriminately from different sources, but is grown from one stock, and will be found very superior to the ordinary Harrisii usually offered, both in regard to freedom from disease and purity, and not the late type now so often furnished. 6 to 7-lnoh bulbs, 850 to tbe case, $17.50 per case; less Quantities, $ 6.00 per 100. 7 to O.incb bulbs, 20U to the case, 18.00 per case; less quantities, 10 00 per 100. 9 to ll.inob bulbs, 100 to tbe case, 80.00 per case; leas quantities, 25.00 per lUO.

PiERCEY, county inspector, says the nurseries of Okanogan county, Wnsh- ington, will be able to furnish 1,000,000 trees for planting next year. ' According to those well posted, the apple crop of Colorado and the Pacific coast states that ship' in bushel boxes will amount to 21,800 carloads, as com- pared with 14,600 cars last year. Harlan P. Kelsey, Salem, Mass., says the spring season of 1910 was "an un- usually good one, and the demand seems to be for hardy shrubs and plants grown as specimen stdck. There is a constantly increasing call for the better class of goods, grown in better shape than the ordinary nursery stock. ' ' The proprietors of the Valdesian Nur- series, at Bostie, N. ("., say they have been receiving reports from all directions, north, south, east and west, to the effect that Amoor River privet proved itself genuinely hardy last winter, withstand- ing temperatures that destroyed other varieties, both roots and branches. Frederick Cranefield, secretary of the Wisconsin State Horticultural Society, has issued circulars advising the people of the state to beware of a "nursery swindle ' ' which is likely to be perpe- trated upon them. The scheme, he says, is as follows: Trees will be offered for sale which are guaranteed to be "free from the dangerous disease known as blackheart," and a clipping will be shown, probably from the papers, in which appears a statement about the dis- ease written by one C Alberts, repre senting himself as assistant United States forester. The annual inspection of Texas nur- series, now being made under the direc- tion of the state department of agricul- ture, indicates that as a result of the thorough inspections made last year and the rigid enforcement of the law the con- dition of all nurseries with reference to insect pests and fungus diseases is far superior to what it was last year. The improvement in this respect would grade an advance of fully fifty to seventy-five per cent and in some cases 100 per cent over la.st year. The nurserymen as a body approve of the present nursery in- spection law and appreciate its equable yet strict enforcement and administra- tion. A BLUE ROSE The Greatest Rose Novelty of the Century It flowered with us this sea- son and was s^reatly admired. The New Bambler (Violet Bine), hailed by the German rose growera aa (he forerunner of a genuinely cornflower blue rose, is a seedling of Orimaon Rambler, yery vigorous and hardy, and free blooming.

The 300-acre farm which was added last \ear> by purchase, to the nursery of the it copes, Bro., & Thomas Co., at West Chester, i'a., is rapidly undergoing the transrormation from farm lands to nur- sery ^^rounds. A NEW ASSOCIATION. The Texas Gulf Coast Nurserymen's Association was organized at Corpus Christi, July 11. About fifty nursery- men were in attendance. The following officers were elected: President, R. H. Bushaway, of Algoa; vice-president, W. C. Griffing, of McAl- len; secretary, R. W. Hobart, of Ar- cadia; treasurer, W. A. Stockwell. The board of directors consists of F. G. Hutchins, Beeville; J. H. Arbenez, Carita; T. M. Johnson, Bay view; J. H. Leonard, Dickinson, and W. C. Griffing, McAllen. Alvin was selected as the place for the next meeting, to be held on th.^ first Monday in June, 1911. EVILS OF THE BEPLACE POLICY. [A paper read by J. R. Mayliew, of Waxa- haehle, Tex., before the American Association of Nurserymen .it the Denyer convention.] The motive that prompts us to con- sider questions of reform is twofold: First, the promotion of our personal in- terests, and, second, an unselfish desire to be of real service to our fellowmen. I believe that he who stands for reform Eolicies is sure of a cordial reception efore the business world, for, in every avenue of trade, the demand is for "a better way of doing things. ' ' We often get a "scrap" on hand if our activi- ties are social, political or religious, but the men who strive for preferment in the business world are broad of mind and heart, and welcome policies that mean increased influence, larger useful- ness and greater earning capacity. They are willing to be shown, and this is true of the business man whether he be from Missouri, New York or Texas. Show the business man that certain pol- icio'' are detrimental to the best inter- Mtt^ of the particular business he repre- sents, and my experience is that he is billing to quit those policies. I say this is more nearly true of the bu'-iness man than any other, and the **' ptions prove the rule. He is today the broadest and most desirable Ameri- can citizen, always willing to give re- loim measures a considerate hearing, ^Dil only asks that they be presented no; estly.

He only wants to know 'i ' he suggestion is wise or unwise from *hc practical business view point, and ■le deals with it accordingly.

We have in the past made some errors; we have allowed some policies to come into our businiess that are unworthy, but what line of business has not made this mis- take? It is concerning a business policy, or the results of a policy, that I am asked to speak to you today — the resultant evils of the replace policy. My subject prejudges the policy as an evil, but even though it were other- wise, I doubt if one of you would feel disposed to defend the practice. Some of my Texas friends accuse me of be- lieving this evil to be responsible for all our ills, and while I do not go that far, I do believe it should have at our hands the most careful consideration. If its practice is conducive to greater con- fldence between the nurseryman and the planter; if, from every view point, its influence is good; if it is right from principle and is making us money, it should be continued; otherwise we should have the courage to abolish it. When and where the practice origin- ated, I am unable to say, but this I know, that there are few retail nursery- men the country over but have prac- ticed replace, or the promise to replace, at one-half price, free, or on some other nonsensical basis. Doubtless he who first conceived the idea believed it to be a business asset, but has it so proven! It has proven a millstone about our necks, branded us as "shysters," "grafters" and — what not? We started out under the promise to "replace at one-half price all trees and plants that die the first year, ' ' but that was hardly liberal enough to suit some of our broad-gauged fellow nursery- men, who went the promoters of this policy one better, agreeing to replace "free." Oh, how liberal (?) we nursery- men have been! Some of us did not stop here. Why, down in Texas I have some competitors who are so liberal they are willing to replace my dead stock if, thereby, they can procure an order. Beaping Tares That Others Sowed. My friends, this insane policy, if not checked, will continue to keep us poor. It is the grossest misrepresentation, full of folly and license. Down in my state a few years ago a certain nursery firm, through its traveling salesman, guaran- teed its trees for five years after plant- ing. Did they live up to their contract? Did they intend to live up to such a contract? That is hardly the question. We are today reaping the harvest from this abominable sowing, for I say to you that you not only reap what you sow, but you reap where you sow not. A business policy detrimental to the common good should be suppressed, whether in our own business or that of our competitor, for our fields are so close by that if one sows tares we all get our share of the harvest. We have a perfect and legitimate right to de- mand clean methods of one another, and he who fails to guard the common good will only half succeed in an individual way. Questions of policy have been, and will always be, vital to the best interests of our business. If our poli- cies are right, we shall succeed; if wrong, we fail or only half succeed. Before the Texas association during January w© thrashed this question out, and by an almost unanimous vote re- solved to "sin no more," adopting a resolution declaring the policy ' ' unwise, unbusinesslike, and wholly unneces- ROSE PLANTS Fine, Clean, Strong Stock, from 2^ In.

Unfortunately, we have no organization; we are, however, kindly disposed towards each other. All the florists here in their modest way report excellent trade for the-p»«t season and June in particular, which went oflf in a whirlwind finish with all lines of cut stock plentiful. July finds us with an occasional wedding, dinner party or funeral. Stock is scarce save for a fine cut of lilies and asters grown by A. J. Koenig, which fill a large want. Hugh Seals wears a pleasant smile, with reports of good business. He finds himself up with all his planting and with good prospects fqfc'^&n early cut. Theo. Smith;-*fter a sucoeseful year, is treating himself to an extended trip to Philadelphia^ New York and other points. He has just completed a fine new plumosuB house, instjilliiuj; steam heat. V Our veteran florist, Geo.'Luffpanj.is planning a trip east in search^f high- class nursery stock. A. J. Koenig- looks happy after com- pleting all his planting and is prepar- ing for a camping trip.; Mr. Koenig 's store, in connection with that of the Amzi Godden Seed Co., has proved a success. The show windows have for the last three months been, noted for their originality and attractiveness. In fact, policemen are compelled to clear the sidewalk in front of thdae windows, one a seed and the other a flower dis- play. Each ^nds ten days, with a small change IflilJ^. Jno. A.

Mention The Review when you .vrite. whether there is a door in the end of the room. While it would be possible to use the same system for both rooms if one had the exact data, there is really little gained by so doing. The supply pipes for the carnation room could be taken off from the mains just before they reach the propagating house. If a space ten feet in length is taken for propagating purposes, it will be ad- visable to use about 200 lineal feet of 2-in'ih pipe for that portion of the house, all of which should be under the benches. MILWAUKEE. The Market. The report from the retailers' stand- point is that there is not much doing, only funeral work and, a few odds and ends — just enough to keep one out of mischief. But the local wholesale houses claim that business is good; there are quite a few shipping orders coming in and it is not an jBasy matter to satisfy all. Carnations of last sea- son's crop are practically out of the market, owing to the work of housing and benching the new plants. In roses the new crop does not cut much figure yet. Asters have not yet made their ap- ipearance, and the few gladioli that come in are readily disposed of. All in all, owing to rather unfavorable weather conditions, the supply of outdoor stock is not up to that of former seasons. There are plenty of lilies coming in and, as there is not much of anything else, they are readily disposed of. The supply of green goods is ahead of the demand. Various Notes. Robert Zepnick says that this year's June wedding work was fully ten per cent ahead of last season. Of late, how- ever, there has not been much doing outside of funeral work. "I had a good season, and I now have a chance to rest," is what he has to say about it. About the most satisfied retail florist these days is William Zimmermann. The lease of his present location ex- pired a short time ago, and now, after considerable dickering, he has secured a lease for a lengthy period. He in- tends to remodel the place and make it one of Milwaukee's foremost flower stores. James Fox, Jr., of J. M.

Manke Bros., of North Milwaukee, had their three new houses, erected this season, planted to Enchantress, Lawson and Beacon carnations by July 23. It was all field-grown stock, and the plants, though in a healthy condition, are not quite as large as they might be, owing to the unfavorable growing con- ditions. Arrangements for the annual picnic of the Milwaukee Florists' Club are now being worked out by the entertain- ment committee. It is intended to have a private basket picnic for florists and their friends. The time and place will be announced at next week 's club meet- ing, August 4, when all members ought to be on hand.

Our heating department has developed at a remarkable rate in the last few years, because it has been under the di- rection of heating engineers who thoroughly know their business ; men who appreciate the very vital difference between a beautiful theory and the practical dollar and cents side of it. The Types. Up to the present time we have installed three distinct types of hot water heating: Grav- ity, Part (Jravnty and the Forced Circulation System, where the water is returned to the boiler by a pump. Where steam power is not available for returning water to the boiler, we use a powerful little pump that can be run by either kerosene or gaf^oline. The Burnham Cast Iron Sec- tional Boiler is a greenhouse boiler made especially for greenhouse work. One of our recent jobs is tli,' forced circulation system put in f(ir Robert Craig & Sons, where a cen- trifugal steam pump is used to ro- tnm the water to the boilers, whicli are set on the level of the green- house. Another very interestiiiir feature is the forceil draft arrangement, that enables them to burn cheap fuel. As for steam, there is the Gravity System a^ain, and its opposite, when' the water has to ) )t> returned to the boiler by a pump or trap. For any one of these types we are prepared to furnish the equipment, or to install them complete, as you wish. If you have some ideas of your own that you want to talk over, let's get together and thresh them out. AVe may have just the system for your particular needs, and we will l)i' only too glad to give you every aslsistance to make it a success. Let us hear from you. Lord and Baroham Co. IRVINGTON, N.

Home-grown stock is scarce. Carna- tions are about through for this season. Brides and Maids are to be had, but are only a little better than nothing. Asters are slow in coming in. A few Easter lilies are to be had, but most of them are being shipped in, as are Beauties, Killarneys and gladioli. Various Notes. Otto Heinl and party, of Terre Haute, stopped in the city on their way to Dayton in an auto. H, W, Bieman is contemplating a trip to Yellowstone Park in the near future. Ed Bertermann is back to work after a two weeks' vacation. John Bieman is going to move back to the city from his summer home above Broad Bipple. He says the fish are not biting. E. A. Nelson is spending a few weeks at the lakes. The feature of the picnic, which is to be held about the first week in August, is a ball game between the North Sides and Fred Hukreide's South Side team. There is considerable feeling between these two teams, as the North Side team won by one run last year. Mr. Hukreide expects to make a better showing this year and is taking his team out for practice daily. C. E. Green, of A. Wiegand & Sons, is camping on Eagle creek for two weeks, H, L. W. FBANEUN, FA. The Bell Floral Co. is adding 280 feet of house, eighteen feet in width, to its establishment here. This addition will be used to increase the space already devoted to chrysanthemums, and for growing other plants that require a greenhouse temperature. Extensive cold- frames also will be added before the beginning of winter. Previous to the opening of the plant season of the current year, the firm constructed two buildings near the en- trance to the principal cemetery, which are mainly covered with glass and will be used as a supplementary salesroom for plants and cut flowers, and for storage purposes. There, also, most of the planting of vases and veranda and window boxes was done. Tewksbury, Mass. — George Foster, of Wamesit, is enlarging his greenhouses.

KING IRON FRAME GREENHOUSES ==^=^= "ABk the Man Who Has One '* ==^= A Word from Xncland Hampton-os-Thames, Exg., Aug. 31st. 1909. Gentlemen :— With reference to your Trussed Iron Frame House, I am pleased to let you know that it is just linished. I am well satisfied with the general appearance of the structure and find it really imposing and every detail of tho construction is well thought out. The trussed steel material makes the House wonderfully light and yet very rigid at the same time, especially when one considers a width of 42 feet without posts. The ventilating machinery ig strong, noat and works easily. 1 am sure this style of house will be the style of the structure for commer- cial horticulturists in this country as well as in America. Wishing you every success, I remain Yours sincerely. (Signed.) E. VICTORS. Send for Bniletin No. 35, wbicli describes The King Iron Frame Conatruction KING CONSTRUCTION CO., North Tonawanda, N. Y.

It is now time to make a first sow- ■ng of sweet peas for flowering from the end of October onwards. Sweet peas require a soil well enriched, cow manure being an excellent medium to add to the soil. If this is unprocurable, well rotted horse oi sheep manure will answer well. They can be grown in either benches or on the giound in solid beds. While they will flower well in midwinter on benches, they will do much better on the ground. Further- more, the latter system allows of much more head room, something necessary in sweet pea culture under glass. No sweet peas should have less than six feet of clear head room and eight feet is better. They will grow eight to twelve feet high, if given good soil, a suitable house and the right kind of treatment. The ideal sweet pea house should be thirty to forty feet wide, quite lofty and of any desired length. Those used by William Sim, of Clifton- dale, Mass., who is probably the largest and most successful grower of these under glass, are 300 to 500 feet long and thirty to forty feet wide, the rows being run the long way of the houses, five to six feet apart. A common error is to sow the seeds too thickly and not thin out the plants. The best plan is to sow in either small pots or flats, transplanting these to the rows when about three inches in height and allowing four to six inches between each plant. This is quite close enough, as the plants will branch out and throw stronger haulm and carry much finer flower stalks than is possible when they are sown thickly. Try both plans and be satisfied as to which is the best. If sweet peas are grown directly in the ground, there is no necessity for changing the soil, as in the case of raised benches, provided the soil is of a generous depth and has good drain- age. Each season it must be heavily manured and plowed or spaded. The latter plan is slower, but it insures the manure being placed sufficiently deep 80 that the roots can readily strike into it. Suitable varieties of sweet peas for winter flowering are: Christmas Pink and Earliest of All, pink and white; Christmas White, Florence Denzer and Watchung, pure white; Mrs. George Lewis, waved white; Mrs. E. Wild, car- mine; Mrs. William Sim, salmon pink. As a general rule, the pure white and pink and white varieties sell the best. Do not make the mistake of sowing the Spencer varieties now. These are not suitable for winter forcing, although they do splendidly for a late spring or early summer crop. The kinds which are popular outdoors should not be sown now. OUTDOOR SWEET PEAS. Now that the aster season has ar- rived, we can the better afford to dis- pense with sweet peas, but many cus- tomers will want them as long as pos- sible. Besides, they have an odor unequaled by any other annuals. The summer has been a hot and trying one on these plants, but if they have had some water and mulching and have .the roots in deep, rich soil, they should flower well for some time yet. The seed pods must be carefully removed, and it is well to pull out any dead or dying plants. Avoid, if possible, pick- ing the flowers while damp. They will spot quickly when placed in a cold room, especially if they were warm when placed in water. Do not allow the water to reach the flowers at any time. Also avoid making large bunches of flowers tightly placed together. These, also, will spot and de- cay quickly. CHINESE PRIMROSES. What is the cause of Chinese prim- rose stems tapering near the leaf and finally breaking off, when the plants in other respects look healthy f C. G. J. You are undoubtedly growing your plants too far from the light, or too crowded; perhaps both, to allow the leaves to become as weak as they ap- parently are. The best place for them for the next two months will be a coldframe. Stand the pots on a bed of coal ashes. Tilt the sashes top and bottom. Shade during sunshine with cloth or lath shadings. The latter are the best. Remove sashes altogether in the evening unless heavy rain seems im- minent. This treatment will result in the plants becoming stocky. They should be spaced \apart once a fort- night, and at that^iaie scratch over the surafec soil. Bemove weeds and dead leaves. Spray the plants over two or three times a day, when the weather it hot and sunny. C. W. DBT FOLIAOS AND BUST. My chrysanthemums seem to be firm- ing up; that is, the bottom leaves are turning brown and drying away, well up into some of the plants. These have had the best of attention. Can you kindly furnish me with a remedy for this disease f A remedy for the mst on chrysan- themums would also be highly appre- ciated. G. J. W. If the plants have made good growth and are now three feet or so high, it ^s nothing unusual for the bottom leaves to turn brown and dry up, particularly if the plants are getting hard and showing bark on the stem where the leaves dry up. Tou state that these plants have had the best of attention; therefore it would seem to me simply to be a natural ripening of the wood, rather than a disease. If they have only been recently planted and the leaves are turning brown, it might be due to one of the fungoid diseases which attack chrysan- themums, and for which the following is an excellent remedy, as well as the best thing I know of for rust: Sulphide of potassium, used in the proportion of one ounce to two gallons of water. This is also an excellent preventive of mil- dew where it is prevalent. If G. J. W. cares to write more def- initely regarding the plants, stating the time they were planted, the way they have been treated, etc., I shall be pleased to. answer more fully. Chas. H. Totty. WHEN TO TAKE BUDS. Please tell me when buds should be taken from the following mums: Ap- pleton, October Sunshine, Polly Rose, Dr. Enguehard, Glory of Pacific, Vir- ginia Poehlmann and Jeanne Nonin. J. T. L. In answer to this query, I will give the approximate time after which it ii safe to take buds on all these varieties. This does not mean that they will not come on buds taken earlier, but experi- ence has shown in our section that the buds taken as soon as possible after the time mentioned give the best re- sults. In the case of Enguehard and Nonin, it is assumed that they have been planted for very late work and the time has been given accordingly. The dates are as follows: October Frost, August 10; Golden Appleton, September 1; Polly Rose, August 20; Glory of Pacific, August 20; Virginia Poehlmann, August 20; Enguehard and Nonin, September 15, or later if the plants are not throwing buds at that time. Chas. H. Totty. TOO LATE TO PROPAGATE. Please let me know if it is too late to propagate Coombs and Diana mums for pots, as I have a lot of good cut- tings. G. H. B. It is too late to propagate and ex- pect profitable results; stock wanted for flowering in November should by now be sturdy young plants about ready for a shift. 8 The Weekly Florists^ Review* AuooST 4, 1910. i |-.<»H. •■yr»!>'^^.<»^.'^ SEASONABLE ■4^-4^-fe,».-v:\»>--y?»i>-^;^g SUGGESTIONS ►^<*^J I Marguerites. Look over the stock plants of mar- guerites in the field. Most of these, if cut back hard, will have broken away and be flowering, but if you look over the plants carefully, especially the white flowering ones, you will now be able to secure some nice, succulent cut- tings without flower buds on them. These are easily rooted in an ordinary propagating bench. Pinch out the flow- er buds, if any appear, and keep them potted along. These will make you nice plants in February and March. Cut- tings taken in spring, before the plants flowered, and still growing in pots will show a strong persistency in throwing flowers. Keep these pinched off as they appear. D'o not become discouraged at the appearance of the plants. As the nights become cooler they will make more growth and at Christmas they will be in good bloom and prove useful. , Paper Wliites and Bomans. The French grown bulbs are due to arrive within a few days, some being already en route. Get a number of flats of each in as soon as possible. Four inches of soil is sufficient. A cel- lar floor is the best place to stand them. The Bomans should be kept dark. If light, cover them with a layer of ashes. The narcissi will need no such covering. A suitable place, if a cellar floor is not at command, is a cold- frame, where some board shutters can be used to exclude the sun and prevent the soil drying out. Any bulbs which are not planted in the soil should be placed in a cool, dry shed or cellar until wanted. The narcissi can be had in flower early in November and Bo- mans for Thanksgiving, although they do not sell so well while the mum tide is at its height as a little later in the season. Trumpet Majors and Golden Spurs. French grown bulbs of Trumpet Ma- jor and Golden Spur, as well as some of Dutch growth, are to hand unusually early this season, some large growers receiving their Golden Spurs the last week in July. By starting these now it will be quite possible to have them in flower for Christmas, at which time they are a welcome novelty and will make good prices. Calceolarias. It hardly pays to sow the herbaceous calceolarias during intensely hot weath- er. The seeds germinate poorly and are liable to damp off. Sow in a light compost, consisting largely of leaf-mold and fine sand. Make the surface smooth. Soak with water before sow- ing the seed. After sowing, cover with a sheet of glass and lay paper over this. Place in a coldframe facing north, or in a lean-to house facing north. Examine them every day and water through a fine rose on any signs of dryness. Eemove the covering as soon as the seedlings appear and keep them close to the light. The glass where they are growing must, of course, be shaded. To secure strong plants of the rugosa section for flowering about the end of March, take cuttings now. selecting the A Loochoo Longiflorum. softest shoots. These root easily. Grow them cool and airy all the time. They will be as well outdoors until October. The variety Golden Gem is the most useful of this section. There is also a yellow hybrid between this and a yellow herbaceous form, named Stuarti, with flowers double the size of Golden Gem, which makes an excellent pot plant. Its culture is simple, being practically identical with that of Gold- en Gem. None of the calceolarias enjoy hot weather and their rate of growth be- comes much accelerated after the -jxi of Augfust. Asparagus Sprengeri. If there are any vacant bencaes which are intended for that ever i,se ful plant. Asparagus Sprengeri, they should be planted with as little de'ay as possible, in order that there may be a good crop of shoots sufiiciently well ripened before winter. A. Spreng ri is common, but it is a sure crop a ad quite a profitable one. It is indispen- sable for any country florist, for every- one who buys flowers wants some suit- able green, and nothing is more useful than A. Sprengeri. It is a good plan to grow a few larjfe baskets of this plant and allow them to produce and ripen seeds, which can be sown as soon as ripe. Ofttimes where bench space is at a premium a dozen or two wire baskets of Sprengeri suspended from the roof will give a valuable lot of green to cut, and shoots thus grown are really harder and better than such as are bench grown. Sprengeri likes a rich soil; one which will suit roses or mums will be found all right for it. A point worthy of re- membrance is never to cut a plant off too closely at any one time. If all the shoots are removed, the plant will be seriously crippled. Always, therefore, continue to leave one or two matured shoots to each plant. Look over old benches which are be ing carried over. A mulch of rotted manure will prove beneficial. Bemove any old shoots which show signs of yellowing foliage. Also, do not keep the house close and moist, or many of the shoots, while thick, are liable to be- come moldy and damp. Just now, and for some weeks to come, fine strings are to be had outdoors, where a batch of plants was set out at the end of May. If you are short of stock these plants can be carefully lifted and benched before frost arrives. Bouvardias. Look over the bouvardia plants in the field and pinch back the runaway shoots. Any which are showing a ten dency to lean over should have a stake. This is especially necessary with that fine, sweet-scented variety, Humboldtii corymbiflora, the shoots of which are more brittle than the smaller and later flowering sorts. The last named bou- vardia can be had in flower over a long period and its large, pure white, deliciously scented flowers are welcome both now and later in the season for bouquet and design work. THE LOOCHOO LONGIFLOBUM. From an uninhabited island in the Loochoo group, south of Japan, came the bulb from which was grown the longiflorum lily shown in the ac companying illustration. The pho- tograph was supplied by Balph M. Ward & Co., who say it represents a promising lily. Seitaro Arai, of Yoko- hama, writes of it as follows: "The appearance of these plants, leaves, etc., is quite similar to giganteum, although there are about half of green stemmed giganteum and a few much more black stemmed up to the top of the plant. The 6-inch bulbs planted there produce from fifteen to twenty or more good flowers. AUGUST 4, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 9 and the 5-inch bulbs from eight to ten. ' ' The few samples of this lily received in An.erica last year proved to be some- thing fine, the flower being superior to trigmteum in texture and more star- shiiped in appearance. The plant pic- tured is five feet high, has a flat stem anu many flowers. A BOCHESTEB SEED FIBM. The thoughts of many members of the trade are now drawn toward Eoches- tei to which, if they are fortunate em High, they will soon travel in reality as well as in thought. Their nimble im -ginations are making many visits to the convention city before the actual, physical pilgrimage begins. Rochester at present is the great center of atten- tion, and ought to be so, since they who learn most about the city and its sur- roundings before going to the conven- tion are likely to derive most profit and pleasure from the trip. The Eeview, therefore, has recently been giving con- siderable space to descriptions of trade conditions at Rochester. This time the subject is the farms of the Vick & Hill Co. The farms of the Vick & Hill Co. are located at Barnard, just north of Rochester, and are easily reached by trolley, or by the New York Central & Hudson River railroad. One of the two farms comprises thirteen acres, and on it are located the greenhouses, cellars and other buildings. On the other farm, which consists of twenty acres, are grown the asters, of which this com- jjany makes a specialty. No asters are grown for cutting purposes; the entire crop is for seed, which is grown for the florists ' trade and on contract for seeds- men. One interesting feature of the aster farm is the portion devoted to the trial of the firm's own seedlings and the standard varieties. Here may be seen a fair test of the many different varie- ties, growing side by side and under the same conditions. These trial beds are of great assistance to visiting florists and are freely used by them in making selections for future orders. This company has originated and in- troduced many new varieties of asters, among which may be mentioned Day- break and Purity, both of which are known to the florists the world orer. *, • '•- ■■.•«.. .. -ft ■ •'•KV- , - VI ' ■ ■ t ,,:jl^il' t'--'--; , • ;.'*'ii ^^ ■■:.,^\ •■>-V-v'^>>>':> ■, , < - «•,■..-.»,.,■.

Is there anything to be lost or gained in potting geraniums in 4-inch pots as soon as cuttings are rooted and keeping them there until their blooming period? Will the soil be of sufficient strength and what mixture of earth and fer- tilizers would you use in geranium cul- ture? to get the best plants for Memorial day skies f J. T. T. It would be bad policy to put gera- nium cuttings, when rooted, directly into 4-inch pots. This is much too large a size for them and the probability is that many would damp off, unless watered carefully. For the best results, put the rooted cuttings first in 2-inch pots. Later give these a shift to 3-inch and later to 4-inch, in which they are flowered and sold. The various shifts mean some extra labor, but it pays to treat them thus, as it insures nice, stocky plants, which will do you credit. If you placed your geraniums in 4-inch pots, say in November, and carried them some six months in the same pots, you would have pretty miserable starve- lings for Memorial day sales, no mat- ter how well you treated them with fertilizers. Fine bone is the best fertilizer to use in geranium compost. This keeps the wood hard and makes the plants flower freely. On the other hand, a lot of rotted cow manure will promote a rank growth of wood at the expense of flowers. A 4-inch pot of fine bone may be added to each wheelbarrow load of loam. A little old, well decayed ma- nure can be used, but never take any that is at all fresh. Sickly plants may need stimulating occasionally with weak doses of nitrate of soda (in water) or liquid cow manure. C. W. TROUBLE WITH OERANIUMS. Will you kindly inform me as to what you consider is the trouble with my geraniums? They are planted out- side and did finely until the last week or ten days, and then all at once the leaves became spotted and turned yel- low. They have been kept quite damp and have been frequently sprinkled during sunshine. Would that hurt them? Which do you consider the best varieties of dark and medium red geraniums, next to S. A. Nutt, for bed- ding? C. G. J. Your trouble has undoubtedly been caused by keeping them too damp at the root and on the foliage.

After sowing, cover with a sheet of glass and lay paper over this. Place in a coldframe facing north, or in a lean-to house facing | north. Examine them every day and water through a fine rose on any signs of dryness. Remove the covering as soon as the seedlings appear and keep them close to the light. The glass where they are growing must, of course, be shaded. To secure strong plants of the rugosa section for flowering about the end of March, take cuttings now, selecting the A Loochoo Longiflorum. softest shoots. These root easily. Grow them cool and airy all the time. They will be as well outdoors until October. The variety Golden Gem is the most useful of this section. There is also a yellow hybrid between this and a yellow herbaceous form, named Stuarti, with flowers double the size of Golden Gem, which makes an excellent pot plant. Its culture is simple, being practically identical with that of Gold- en Gem. None of the calceolarias enjoy iiot weather and their rate of growth be- comes much accelerated after the nd of August. Asparagus Sprengeri. If there are any vacant ben. les which are intended for that ever se. ful plant, Asparagus Sprengeri, lioy should be planted with as little d( :iv as possible, in order that there may he a good crop of shoots sufl[lciently \\>i\\ ripened before winter. A. Spreng ri is common, but it is a sure crop ji id quite a profitable one. It is indisp. ri- sable for any country florist, for eveiv- one who buys flowers wants some sur able green, and nothing is more useiul than A. Sprengeri, It is a good plan to grow a few lar^e baskets of this plant and allow th( m to produce and ripen seeds, which c;iii be sown as soon as ripe. Ofttimcs where bench space is at a premium a dozen or two wire baskets of Sprengeri suspended from the roof will give a valuable lot of green to cut, and shoots thus grown are really harder and better than such as are bench grown. Sprengeri likes a rich soil; one whii-h will suit roses or mums will be found all right for it. A point worthy of re membrance is never to cut a plant otr too closely at any one time If all the shoots are removed, the plant will be seriously crippled. Always, therefore, continue to leave one or two matured shoots to eacii plant. Look over old benches which are be ing carried over. A mulch of rotted manure will prove beneficial. Remove any old shoots which show signs ol yellowing foliage. Also, do not kee]i the house close and moist, or many of the shoots, while thick, are liable to be come moldy and damp. Just now, and for some weeks to come, fine strings are to be had outdoors, where a batch of plants was set out at the end of May. If you are short of stock these plants can be carefully lifted and benched before frost arrives. Bouvardias. Look over the bouvardia plants in the field and pinch back the runaway shoots. Any which are showing a ten dency to lean over should have a stake. This is especially necessary with that fine, sweet-scented variety, Humboldtii corymbiflora, the shoots of which arc more brittle than the smaller and later flowering sorts. The last named bou vardia can be had in flower over a long period and its large, pure white, deliciously scented flowers are welcome both now and later in the season for bouquet and design work. THE LOOCHOO LONGIFLORUM. From an uninhabited island in thi Loochoo group, south of Japan, came the bulb from which was grown the longiflorum lily shown in the ac companying illustration. The plio tograph was supplied by Ralph M. Ward & Co., who say it represents a promising lily. Seitaro Aral, of Yoko- hama, writes of it as follows: "The appearance of these plants, leaves, etc.. is quite similar to giganteum, although there are about half of green stemmed giganteum and a few much more black stemmed up to the top of the plant. The 6-inch bulbs planted there produce from fifteen to twenty or more good flowers, At CI ST 4. 1910.

'le thoughts of many members of ill. trade are now drawn toward Koches- i, to which, if they are fortunate iMi \'^h, they will soon travel in reality :i^ veil as in thought. Their nimble It! i;inations are making many visits Id he convention city before the actual, |,1 >ieal pilgrimage begins. Kochestcr ,it present is the great center of attcn- li II. and ought to be so, since they wlio !r 111 most about the city and its sur- 111, tidings before going to the conven- li.i are likely to derive most profit and |.i; u.sure from tiie trip. The Review, III icfore, has recently been giving con- simnable space to descriptions of trade rniiditions at Rochester. This time the -.iiiijoct is the farms of the Vick & iiiii Co. The farms of the Vick & Hill Co. are Im-ated at Barnard, just north of Ivochester, and are easil}' reached by tiolley, or by the New York Central & Hudson River railroad. One of the two r.irins comprises thirteen acres, and on ii are located the greenhouses, cellars I lid other buildings. On the other farm, wliich consists of twenty acres, are •410WU the asters, of which this com- |F.tny makes a specialty'. No asters are u:iown for cutting purposes; the entire . They were planted directly into the bench from small pots during the first week in June, and were topped about the time they were planted in the bench. They do not seem to be Btrong |ilauts. Do you think they will make anything for winter blooming or would you advise us t^ throw them out and buy field grown plants to be put in their place? If so, could we winter them in coldframes for blooming next summer, or save the plants in any other way \vliich wouhl give us some profit ! Tiie variety' is Kuchantress, and as we are rather limited in capacity, we shall need every Enchantress bloom we can grow. W. S. G. If the plant forwarded is an average one, you need have no fear that you will not have a good yield of blooms by next winter. The plant now car- ries five good shoots, two of which are ready to toj). When these break again. you will have nine shoots to come along to flower. You will find generally that plants grown indoors will not bo as large, or carry quite as many shoots by August 1, as plants grown in the field. They have, however, the advantage of being estab- lished, and by September 15 there will be little difference in the size of the plants The difference is usually in favor of the field-grown stock. A. F. J. B. CLEANING INFECTED HOUSES. Two years ago fairy ring, and last year stigmonose, played havoc with my carnations. Just now I am house-clean- ing, and will whitewash the walls and benches and fumigate with sulphur. The soil I intend to use is top soil, mixed about a month ago with one- third cow manure. It will bo turv,-,: over once or twice and lastly mi-^. with air slaked- lime, a bushel to :x loads of soil.

The Market. liusiness showed a decline last week ;:s compared with its jiredecessor, due 111 large measure to the hot weather uliich prevailed, and the iiist week in \ugiist finds trade quiet. Koses arc not iliundaut, but are amj)le for all require- ments. A few nice Beauties are still -I'cn, while Kaiserin is good. Quite a number of Killarnoy and White Kil- larney also are coming. Carnations arc -'rowing beautifully less. Few of them ne of even decent quality. Another ■veok or two will end the old crop. It .wll not be long before some of the new rop arrives. Asters are coming in more •reely and jirices on these have dropped "insiderably, some going as low as 50 'iits ])er hundred. Sweet l eas are not •t good (piality, luit a fai) number are irriviug, with juices not showing much liange. Lilium longiflorum is phuiliful. Many t the llowers are outdoor grown and t fine quality. Gladioli are abundant, \nierica still remaining the leader. Sup- lies of lily of the valley are small, ■ ut the trade for it is now light. Cos- nos is in good supply, while there is a ■ onsiderable variety of outdoor flowers •n be seen. The call f(U- green stock '•■mains quiet. Club Picnic. Glorious weather once more favored the Gardeners' and Florists' Club on the occasion of the picnic at Pine Banks park, Maiden, July 27, and the attendance, considerably in excess of ■'OU, was the largest seen on any simi- lar occasion. The sports, as usual, ex- Richard Eichling. cited great interest and there were strong entries in almost every class. I'ine Banks jiark made an ideal ]ilace for a ])icnic.

All the competitors set a killing pace, and with a few yards more to go, Dan Iliffe, who was in- creasing his speed all the time, would have won. Had T. Pegler competed, the result might have been different. E. A. Pierce was busy rounding up delegates for the Kochester convention and CE^ptured quite a few, as well as a number of new S. A. F. members. ' Hobert Cameron, W. J. Stewart, Elijah A. Wood and Eev. W. T. Hutchins were among the trade scrib- blers noted. We did not observe any ■of them competing in the track events. Ex-President Downs, just convales- cing' from sickness, was missed, also Ex-President Pettigrew. The ex-presi- dents seqn included T. J. Grey, George M. Anderson, W. J. Stewart, James Wheeler, M. H. Norton and T. H. West- wood. ! Peter M. Miller worked like a Trojan for the success of the picnic. The ex- ecutive committee also did nobly, Thomas Pegler being in evidence ev- erywhere. James Wheeler for the first time was below the limit for the fat men's race. James has shrunk considerably of late; commercialism is responsible for it. The Iliffe family, as usual, were to the front in nearly all events and cap- tured a lot of prizes. Daniel himself is still a sprinter of no mean caliber. The Commercials missed W. A. Man- da and other heavyweights on this occasion. They lacked weight, but gave their opponents a good pull for their money. J. Comerford did not compete in the broad jump. He cleared twenty feet and ten inches at an athletic meet July 23 and could evidently make a strong bid for six feet in the high jump had he been pushed. Various Notes. S. J. Goddard returned from Europe July 28 after an enjoyable visit. He had a rather rough passage home, how- ever. John J. Fee, of Jamaica Plain, is handling fine lots of outdoor grown Lilium longiflorum and Gladiolus Amer- ica at C Park street. Mr. Fee is one of our leading bulb specialists and is just unpacking his first importations. Charles Evans, of Watertown, is bringing in extra fine double gyp- sophila, which sells on sight. For flo- rists there is no more desirable variety to grow than the single one. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Ward, of Mont- vale, left for Provincctown, Mass., August 2, for a vacation. Mr. Ward has his new house, 32x110, nearly com- pleted. It will be used for carnations and sweet peas. C. E. Robinson, of H. M. Robinson & Co., is home from his vacation. His last week was spent in New York. He will now attend strictly to business. Thomas J. Grey has just returned from a successful business trip in the western part of the state. He expects to take in the Rochester convention, while Peter M. Miller, of the same firm, is planning a trip to Bar Harbor, Me. An autumn show of flowers, fruits and vegetables will be held at Horti- cultural hall, September 23 to 25. Eber Holmes, of the Montrose Green- houses, is busy painting, piping and doing work preparatory for winter. He is shipping in fine lots of Killarney, White Killarney and Kaiserin to C Park street, also small lots of Rich- mond. Thomas Pegler, in addition to his other accomplishments, has added that of musician, and played both sacred and ragtime selections on the harp July 30 at C Park street, in such a way as to win the enthusiastic plaudits of the salesmen and buyers there. July gave us barely one inch of pre- cipitation, against an a /erage of 3.60 f for the last thirty-nine years. We have had several moderate showers, but would much welcome a soaking rain. T. F. Galvin has one of his large show windows on Tremont street at- tractively arranged with aquatics. Another window looks invitingly green with Cocos Weddelliana, Asparagus plu- mosus, Phoenix Roebelenii and other foliage plants. An elaborate water garden is being constructed on the Larz Anderson es- tate, Brookline, where Duncan Finlay- son has charge. The Boston delegation for the Rochester convention is steadily grow- ing and present indications are that the special Pullman car will have a full complement of passengers. It has not yet been decided whether the party will leave in the morning or evening. Prob- ably it will be on the morning of Au- gust 15, arriving in Rochester about 10 o'clock in the evening. The round trip tickets are $13.40. Intending delegates should notify E. A. Pierce, Waltham, at once, and also secure rooms at the Seneca hotel in advance. Samuel Eintracht, of Wertheimer Bros., New York, reports business good. James Wheeler's new carnation house holds about 22,000 plants and the major portion of these are now in their places. W. N.

The quality of outdoor grown flowers is far below the standard of other years because of the long drought. A few special Beauties touch 20 cents. From that top they fall rapidly to 50 cents per hundred for the short stems. Nd other long-stemmed roses are arriving; 4 cents will buy the selected of any variety. Richmond is short, open and unsalable. The average will not go above $1.50 and some say even $1 i>or hundred v/ould be a fairer estimate. No carnations are worth over $1 per hundred. Most of the stock arriving is about as near worthless as you can imagine. Good asters grown indoors go rapidly and at excellent prices. Most of the outdoor stock is small and imperfect. It could not be otherwise, and already there is too much of it. Where will the price go when the Rochester shipments appear? The hydrangeas coming from the south are good. The local stock shows the need of a drink. Of gladioli, even from the no-rain sections, there is no limit. Nearly everyone has a surplus of the red varieties and thousands of these were sold as low as 25 cents per hundred. The market is glutted with them. They cannot be digested and they go into the discard. There is no place here for anything that is not first-class, and the sooner this is realized by the grower the better for all concerned. The market here for perfect quality has no limit. Of cattleyas a few gigas and Gaskelliana arrive daily, and sprays of several other orchids, and the price holds steady, though the demand contin- ues light. The lily shipments continue large, but the market seems to absorb them to the tune of a quarter million weekly. Prices are falling. One veteran whole- saler says it will be October before the uplift is felt and predicts a dull Sep- tember.

J. Austin Shaw. OBITUARY. Anna L. Westman. Miss Anna L. Westman, widely known Cleveland retail florist and member of the firm of Westman & Getz, died August 1, after only a few hours' illness. Strong to the last in her Christian Science belief that there was no such thing as disease of the body. Miss Westman refused to have a physician summoned and the case was reported to the coroner, who made an investigation and said that heart failure was undoubtedly the cause of death. Miss Westman was 45 years of age. For the past seven years she had been in the florists 'business with Miss Hester A. Getz, at 5923 Euclid avenue. The firm was Westman & Getz and was well known in the east end of Cleveland. She had lived in Cleveland for a number of years, although her birthplace was Sweden. The firm was probably the best known in the trade of any in the country in which both partners were women. They did a large volume of sales. Henry J. Bowden. Henry James Bowden, of Rochester N. Y., died July 23. He leaves a widow. Mr. Bowden was born in Bed- ford, England, in 1848, his father, James Bowden, being an instructor in Modern School, where his brother now teaches and came to this country to visit friends in 1871. After a short stay here he decided to remain, and entered into the nursery business with Chase Bros. Co., with whom he remained ten years before deciding to start a business of his own. He secured as a partner D. H. Patty, of Geneva, and the two men con. ducted a nursery business up to the present time. His business associates knew him as a man whose fair dealing was not to be questioned and a person whose judgment was always to be relied upon. His success in business can be traced to his unswerving honesty and industry. Mr. Bowden was an expert accountant, but his chief interest lay in his nursery business, with which he kept in touch up to the time of his death. Mrs. Otto Kuehnel. Mrs. Kuehnel, wife of Otto Kuehnel, a nurseryman and florist at 122 Mc- Cracken avenue, Muskegon, Mich., died July 26. She had been ill only a few hours. ^ short funeral service was held at the residence July 29 and the body was taken to Chicago for burial. She was 51 years old, and had lived in Mus- kegon about a year and a half. The members of the trade extend their deep- est sympathy to Mr. Kuehnel. Oeorge H. Sheppard. George H. Sheppard, a nurseryman of Lamonte, Mo., died of Bright 's disease July 20, at the age of 78 years. He was a native of Indiana. He removed to Lamonte in 1868 and engaged in the nursery business. For many years he made fruit exhibits at St. Louis fairs, winning large numbers of premiums, and in later years he made exhibits at the Missouri State Fair, at Sedalia. He was unmarried. H. Beynolds. H. Reynolds, one of the pioneer resi- dents of Monroe, Mich., and probably the oldest nurseryman in the state, died recently at the age of 91 years. He was a native of New York and removed to Michigan in 1840. Alexander Youngston. Alexander Youngston, for the last few years a florist on Pearl street, in Barre, Vt., died July 25 at his home on Upland avenue. His death was due to pul- monary edema, f oUowingf a light attack of pneumonia. He was born in Elgin, Scotland, May 5, 1855, and was mar- ried in 1885 to Susie Kirton, of his na- tive town. He came to this country a short time afterward, living in different New England cities, and finally re- moved to Barre about eight years ago, where he had made his home ever since, with the exception of a visit to his old home abroad. He is survived by his widow and four children, Susie, Mary, Alexander and Orville. Joseph Zellers. Joseph Zellers, Newark, N. J., died July 26. He was for twelve years a berry grower and lately had grown pansy plants and other florists' stock. A««osT 4, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 15 SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. CONVENTION NOTES. The chairmen of all the local commit- toes at Eochester met in the club rooms on Tuesday evening, July 26. The work of the committees was reported in detail and the officers of the Eochester associ- ation freely commended the work done by the committees. C. B. Ogsten, chairman of the ladies' entertainment committee, reported that arrangements had been made for a touring car trip on Wednes- day afternoon, August 17, start- ing at 2 o'clock. The trip will include rides through Eochester 's most beautiful residence sections, Seneca park, Maplewood park, the university campus, Genesee valley and Highland parks, ending with a run to Cobb 's Hill reservoir, where a panoramic view of the entire city can be had. The committee on the shooting con- tests reported through the chairman, E. (j. Salter. These contests will be held on Thursday afternoon, August 18, at 3 o'clock, on the grounds of the Eiverside Gun Club, near Genesee Valley park. A prize of $20 in gold is offered for the greatest number of birds in any event. Other prizes include cash, diamond stickpins, gun case, fishing rods, etc. Chairman A. H. Vick, of the bowlers' committee, reported that, after much effort, he had succeeded in obtaining the Brunswick-Balke-Collender gold medal. This will be one of the most valued prizes offered, as the winning of the gold medal indicates special skill on the part of the winner. Mr. Vick announced that the Grand Central Al- leys, where the contests will be held, had offered a silver cup, and that George Eastman had offered a No 3 Brownie camera. Silver cups have also been offered by Vaughan's Seed Store, of New York and Chicago, and Henry A. Dreer, of Philadelphia. Other prizes are: Gem safety razor, from Weaver Hardware Co.; gentleman's silk um- brella, from Sibley, Lindsay & Curr Co.; scarfpin and buttons, from J. E. White Co.; Btickpin and buttons, from Wm. Kennedy; art pottery vase, from H. B. Graves; ladies' gold pin, from S. D. Bur- ritt; picture, from Scranton, Wetmore & Co.; a case of O. F. C, f rom New York and Kentucky Co.; a case of Sherwood from Fee Bros. The bowling contests will be held on Thursday, August 18. Friday, August 19, is to be the great 'lay of the week. The outing committee has made arrangements to entertain the visitors at Manitou Beach, one of the most beautiful lake resorts near Eoches- ter. A part of the forenoon is to be devoted to inspecting the exhibits at Convention hall, and about 11 o'clock special cars will convey the society to Ontario Beach, thence over one of the most picturesque trolley routes to Mani- tou. This line runs along the bluffs overlooking Lake Ontario, past summer homes, pleasure resorts and campers' tents — altogether a trip of delight from first to last. Lunch will bf served at the Manitou Beach hotel, and at 4 o'clock J. M. Keller will announce that his baseball team is prepared to meet all comers. Among the social events of conven- tion week, the president's reception on Tuesday evening and the ladies' recep- tion on Wednesday evening are the most important. Both will be held at the Hotel Seneca. Charles H. Vick says that the trade exhibit will surpass his fondest dreams. Almost every inch of space is taken. But Convention hall is a big place, and even at the last minute Mr. Vick will make a place for the late comers who have something to show. Mr. Vick also reports that the Souvenir Album is well on toward completion, and that it is a triumph of the printer's art. It will be a prized souvenir of the Eochester S. A. F. convention. E. F, E. HOTELS AT ROCHESTER. The hotels at Eochester are preparing to accommodate all who may attend the S. A. F. convention, but the wise visitor will engage his room at an early date. Although Eochester is well supplied with first-class hotels, it is not at all improbable that they will be crowded during convention week. Even now various clubs have booked advance orders for their members. The follow- ing are the leading hotels and their rates; all of them are near Convention hall: Hotel Rochester, Main street west. Earopean plan. Rates, (1.50 to (2.50 without bath. $2.80 to $3.50 with bath. Powers Hotel, Main street west. European plan. Rates, $1.50 to $4. Hotel Seneca, Clinton avenue south.

The Convention. The twenty-sixth annual convention promises to be the best meeting ever held by the Society of American Florists. Preparations for the meeting and exhibition are rapidly nearing com- pletion. C. H. Vick, superintendent of the exhibition, reports that most of the exhibition space has been taken and that the large hall, with over an acre of floor space, will be filled. The modifica- tion of the rules applying to the signs will do much to make the exhibition beautiful, as well as instructive and profitable. The public will be admitted each evening, and on Thursday after- noon. An admission fee will be charged. The sports committee reports that ar- rangements for the bowling and shoot- ing tournaments on Thursday afternoon are also nearing completion. In this connection attention should be called to the rule that only members in good standing will be allowed to participate. Friday is in the hands of the Eoches- ter Florists' Club, and a general good time is promised. To those who have been at Eochester before, nothing need be said about the royal welcome await- ing them. All others should come and see for themselves. Bring your certifi- cates and pins and they will be the Mr. Rudd Offers Explanation. Notice has been sent to the members of the 8. A. F. of a number of amend- ments to be brought up for considera- tion at the coming convention. The most important of these are the series intended to make the members of the board of directors elective and to make the ofiSces of the secretary and treas- urer appointive by the board of direc- tors. The present conditions are that the board of directors consists of eleven members, namely, the president, first vice-president, secretary and treasurer, who are of course elected each year, and the junior ex-president, who was elected the year before. These five members can be said to be elected by the direct vote of the members of the society. The other six, which is a ma- jority of the board, are appointed. They are the personal appointees of the presi- dent, each president having the privi- lege of appointing two, so that the so- ciety is in the somewhat anomalous po- sition of having a majority of its board of directors not elected by itself, but the personal appointments of various presidents. The amendments, if car- ried, will reduce the board of directors from eleven to nine and make them all strictly elective. Theoretieally, at least, this seems more in accord with the general cus- toms of this country and is the practice in nearly all corporations existing in this country. Practically all ordinary corporations are compelled to elect their board of directors by the law under which they exist. It will be noted that the amendments also take away the voting power in the board of directors from the secretary and the treasurer. If these officers are to be appointed by the board of direc- tors, it would certainly be an exceed- ingly bad proposition to give them a vote in the deliberations of the body which appoints them and which can re- move them. It seems to the writer that so long as the oresent close scrutiny of the handling of the funds is carried out, and the heavy bonds are required from the treasurer, it really makes lit- tle difference whether he is elected or is appointed. The office of secretary, however, it would seem, could be most wisely taken out of politics. The secretary is the chief clerk of the society; he is the only (Continued o» paire 4'i^ 16 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Adgcst 4, 1910. THE FLORISTS* REVIEW G. L. GRANT, Editor and Manaqek.

Don't let surpluses of field-grown car- nation plants go to waste. Even if you have only a few hundreds it will pay to offer them in The Review's Classi- fied Department. Someone wants just what you have to spare. Retail florists who have tried automo- biles for delivery purposes find it is neces- sary to keep them busy if expense is to be kept Avithin reasonable limits. If they stand idle they "eat their heads off" much faster than does a horse. Otto G. Koenig, secretary of the St. Louis Horticultural Society, advises that at a recent meeting of the executive committee a resolution was adopted "against the advisability of inviting the S. A. F. to St. Louis for 1911." New Orleans wants the S. A. F. con- vention in 1915, when the city expects to have the Panama exposition. Harry Pap- worth says: "You all may think you will find a hot south in August [he isn't considering the possibility of a change of date. — Ed], but instead you will find one of the coolest and healthiest of cities in the states, fanned by the breezes of Lake Ponchartrain and the Mississippi river. ' ' WANT US TO KNOW. One of the pleasant features of pub- lishing The Review is that so many sub- scribers and so many advertisers write to tell of their satisfaction with the paper and its work — they are not con- tent simply to accept the service and pay the bill, but are impelled to put in words their appreciation: We would like to let you know that the ad in your paper has been doing fine work for us. — Marinus De Wltte, Kalamazoo, Mich., July 29, 1910. Results from advertising to date are very satisfactory. — Wm. Toole & Sons, Baraboo, Wis., July 30, 1910. Your ad got us busy on Klllarney; bad to send back over $100. — Frey & Frey, Lincoln, Neb., July 30, 1910. The Review's Convention Number comes out August 18, with a full report of the S. A. F. meeting at Rochester. It will be a specially good issue for ad- vertisers. CENSUS OF FLORICULTURE. The census of floriculture will be taken by the special enumerators who have handled the other industries — it can't be taken by mail. In taking the census of floriculture, and of the nursery trade, the census offi- cials prepared blanks, approved by a committee of the S. A. F., which were mailed to all the names purchasable — but the list was by no means complete, many failed to respond, and others did not supply information sufficiently com- plete. The census bureau has had a large organization in the field collecting spe- cial information on the industries of the country and on this force, not yet through with its work, dependence is placed in the matter of floriculture. In each district the special enumerator vvi|| check up the lists of florists and nuf. serymen, visit those who have not re. turned the blanks properly or comp],'te- ly filled and make the census of tl ese trades on the same basis as others. The work already has been begun. It \vi\\ be a long time before it will be ci-m- pleted. AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY. As an addition to the prizes alre.-nly announced, to be awarded at the Rochester show, Kelway & Son, Lang- port, Somerset, England, have offered the Kelway medal, for the best collec- tion of named varieties of Kelway 's Large-flowering Gladioli, their current Manual of Horticulture to be taken as a guide to the names eligible, and these to include only the Large-flowering Gla dioli, Kelway 's strain. Entries for this prize should be made under No. IG, Open Class. L. Merton Gage, Cor. Sec 'v. CHIOAGO. The Great Central Market. The demand is extremely erratic. Now and then there comes a day when the telegraph messengers flock to the whole district and everybody is on the jump to supply the out-of-town de- mand; and it usually happens that on such days there also is a fair run of local trade. But following an ex tremely active day there will come two or three days of deadly dullness. Last week, with its extreme heat, there was nothing whatever doing in the middle of the week. Saturday brought a fine run of business, cleaning up everything that was in any way usable, and Mon day of the present week also was marked by great activity; the call for stock exceeded the supply of good quality. There really are few good flowers now in the market, and many buyers have to content themselves with ma terial which they would not otherwise consider usable. The supply of Beau ties has fallen off materially; there are few good ones to be had and for the best of the long grade $4 per dozen is asked, with a corresponding advance in prices of other lengths. Of roses there is a fair supply. One commission house reports having handled 75,000 last week, largely Killarney and White Killarney, with lesser quantities of Kai- serin, My Maryland and Richmond. Local buyers like Maryland, but there is extremely light call for Richmond. Maid and Bride are not often seen. There are more of the Killarneys than of all other roses put together. When one has in mind the superb stock of late spring, the present supply appears extremely poor in quality, but such as it is there is enough to go around, and the quality probably is as good as it ever was at the opening of August. Carnations are practically out of the market. There continue to be light re- ceipts, but most of the flowers are so small that they have little value. Any- thing that can be classed as good is worth real money. The asters are ag- gravating wholesalers and retailers; they seem to be more backward in com- ing forward than ever before. There are plenty of the open-centered small white asters that sell for a cent this AUGUST 4, 1010.

The de- mand much exceeds the supply of good asters and it is in this department the wholesalers have their greatest trouble. Some superb indoor flowers are selling for 60 cents to 75 cents a dozen. Gladioli in the three self colors are selling well. Mrs. Francis King runs America a close race as to popularity. Augusta, white, sells well, if cheaper, for funeral work. Other varieties meet with indifferent demand, but somehow seem to fetch fair prices on the active days. Auratum and speciosum lilies are much more abundant. They do not sell briskly. The call for Easter lilies is erratic. Valley has become one of the scarce items. Sweet peas have dis- appeared. Cattleyas are in light supply and an occasional order is hard to fill. The last peonies were sold at the close of July. The green goods market is quiet. The July Business. Summing up the July trade, most of the wholesale houses find it made a new record. At the opening of the month there was a period which fell behind the same days of last year; the first half of July always is the dullest of the year in this market. Subse- quently there came several days of first- class business. Later the demand be- came spasmodic, some days extremely heavy and other days rather light. Taking it all together, even with the lighter receipts of asters, the month's sales foot up better than a year ago. Summer business has been increasing steadily for several years. July Weather. July was the warmest the weather office has recorded since 1901. The average daily temperature was 3.6 de- grees higher than the normal tempera ture for the month, with a pronounced period of great heat from July 20 to 29. Less than one-half the normal amount of rain fell; it was only 1.79, but, curiously enough, even this light precipitation was greater than in July of either of the last two vears. In ad- Notice Our business is increasing so stead- ily, and so rapidly, that we are constantly in position to handle to advantage additional consignments of first-class stock. Growers who are not now in every way satisfied with their connections are invited to see us now— before the opening of the new season. A. Le Randall Coe Wholesale Commission florists 19 21 Randolph St., CHICAGO Mention The Rpview when you wnte. dition to the extreme heat, the month was unusually bright, there being an average of 11.6 hours of sunshine each day in the month. This is seventy- eight per cent of the sunshine possible in the month. The Convention Train. The Florists' Club's transportation committee announces that it has ar- ranged for a special train to Eochester, leaving Chicago, via the Lake Shore, Monday, August 15, at 5:30 p. m. The fare, on the certificate plan, will be $21.48 for the round trip, with $3 extra each way for sleeper. Each member of the club has been sent a postal card on which to make reservation. The Oldest Box. A landmark is passing. The oldest ice-box in the market is giving way to one of the largest. It was sixteen years ago, while located at 88 Wabash avenue, that Kennicott Bros. Co. built this box, one section of which is now being discarded. There has been won- derful change during the lifetime of the old box. In its day it was a marvel for size, but now its doors are too low; the long-stemmed flowers of to- day require more head-room than was dreamed of sixteen years ago. The APHINE'S Increasing Popularity As a general insecticide for destroy- ing greenhouse and outdoor pests Is due to the hearty endorse- ments of the many expert floriculturists who have fully tested Aphine and have not found it wanting. Its success is the talk of the trade. It does all that is claimed for it, and more. Ask your supply house for Aphine, or write us for name of our nearest selling agency. APHINE MANUFACTURING CO.

Among the retailers the after- noons are generally taken up by reno- vating and getting things in shape for the opening of the fall season next month, which is being looked for by all of us. The wholesalers are about in the same fix after the morning sales are over. The stock that comes in is hard to handle, as the bulk of it is inferior. Really good flowers were scarce all last week. Now that asters and tuberoses are beginning to come in, a better as- sortment is to be had. Roses and carnations are of poor quality, and scarce at that. Gladioli have slacked up and good quality has become scarce, with the price up to $3 and $4 per hundred for the choice spikes. Smilax, asparagus and other greens sell well. . . Various Notes.

Pres., E. L. Page, Greene, N. Y.; First Vice-pres., L. H. Vaughan, Chicago; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O. French seed growers have had too much moisture. There were good rains through Nebraska and the corn belt on the night of August 1. Dealings in beans and peas in the city of New York now are required by ordi- nance to be on the basis of net weights. It hardly over turns out that seed crops are as short as predicted and it is quite possible that the alarmists may have over- stated the disaster in the pea district. Better weather conditions during the last week have served to allay in a meas- ure the fears for corn, vine and other seed crops. Reports from the California Lima bean district are to the effect that weather conditions have been good during the lat- ter part of July, giving the growing crops an excellent appearance at the end of the month. Seed growing conditions in the Erfurt and Quedlinburg districts of Germany ap- pear to be rather more favorable than they are in other large seed growing sec- tions anywhere in the world this season, although California has had little to com- plain of. Seitaro Arai, of Yokohama, Japan, ad- vises Ralph M. Ward & Co., New York, that the crop of longiflorum lily bulbs in the island of Oshima, which he visited in June, will be about a million less than expected, in salable bulbs, ' ' the shortage, strange to say, being in the smaller sizes of 6 to 8 and 7 to 9." In response to a demand for greater knowledge of the cultural methods which are best adapted to seed growing, the United States Department of Agricul- ture has just issued a new publication, Bulletin 184 of the Bureau of Plant In- dustry, under the title, "The Production of Vegetable Seeds: Sweet Corn, Garden Peas and Beans." This discusses the whole subject thoroughly and gives in- structions for securing crops of seeds for these different species. It is written for the farmer rather than the seedsman, but will interest anyone in any way con- nected with the business. LEONARD SEED CO.

Writing from Chillicothe, 0., July 30, Schilder Bros, had this to say of the weather and the prospects for crops of onion sets and onion seed: "In southern Ohio we have had too much rain for seed crops. We also un- derstand that from July 1 to 17 it rained every day in the Louisville onion set district and there have been at least five rains since that time. Also in a certain onion seed growing section 100 miles west of us they have had a tre- mendous amount of rain, and it has hurt the crop. We know of one grower who plowed^ up eight acres this week.

The present is the critical time in the Nebraska seed-growing sections. The crops did not enter the critical period in any too favorable condition, but within the last few days there have been reports of good showers that have helped considerably. Writing at Water- loo, July 27, J. C. Eobinson said: "It is very dry in the seed-growing districts of Nebraska. We have not had a really good, soaking rain all spring. Crops are standing it. remark- ably well, but corn is just ready to tassel and set ears, and if we do not have rain soon the crop will be very short. Fairly good rains have recently occurred in the northern part of the state, but the central and southern parts are dry. Vine crops are standing up well, but would do better with some moisture. The next two weeks are the critical ones, and much*clepends on the weather during this time." CBITICISM OF FRENCH BULBS. Consular Agent Francis M. Mansfield, of Toulon, France, furnishes the follow- ing information in reply to complaints which have appeared in American horti- cultural jourti^s that some inferior nar- cissus and hyacinth bulbs have been exported from the Toulon district: No criticism is justified of the prod- ucts of this part of France, obtained through responsible firms, or of those growers who bring scientific methods to bear in their culture.. Whatever un- sound stock may go out must be through the small and irresponsible farmers, and the reputable growers and shippers with whom I have talked on this matter say they positively refuse to sell damaged or unsound stock to these small factors, believing that if such should be put on the market and proved faulty, as it obviously would be, it would injure the great industry of 01- lioules and Hyeres, which have a repu- tation for bulbs of the highest quality. Such damaged or unsound stock is burned or otherwise destroyed by the growers and shippers .lyho have their best interests and that of the region at heart, the irresponsible middleman not •ven being thought of as a possible cus- somer.

These maladies are well known and recog- nized by experts, but to the non-expert it is conceivable that their presence might well be overlooked aud possibly ignored by a careless shipper.

LILIUN HARRISII ^r^t Our first consignments have just reached us, and our advance orders are all filled. In view of the fact that crop is shorter than last year, we advise those who have not already ordered to lose no time doing so. Last year we were not able to meet the demand for our selected Hanrisii on late orders. At present we have a gocd supply, and will be able to take care of early orders; but there should be no delay in ordering, as there is sure to be a scarcity of good stock, especially in the large sizes. We ofiier selected stock of the original true Harrisii for early forcing, grown from the original true stock — splendid stock for early forcing, for which purpose Harrisii is so valuable. Our stock is not picked up mdiscriminately from different sources, but is grown from one stock, and will be found very superior to the ordinary Harrisii usually offered, both in regard to freedom from disease and purity, and not the late type now so often furnished.

The market price (between grower and exporter) of the competitive Eoman White hyacinth bulb has just been fixed for the present season by the Growers' Syndicate at 68 francs ($13,12) per thousand of 1,050, the assortment to include the usual marketable sizes, from 4.7 to 5.9 inches. For extra sizes the members of the syndicate are at liberty to make their own prices. THE SEASON AT ROCKY TOED. The season at Rocky Ford, Colo., is early this year and melons now are ready for market in fair quantity. It will be remembered that the U. S. food and drugs bureau has ruled that Rocky Ford melons, to be sold under that name in interstate commerce, must actually be grown at Rocky Ford. H. D. Gar- wood, secretary of the Ebbert Seed Co., wrote July 28: ' ' We shipped to Colorado Springs yes- terday the first Rocky Ford cantaloupes of the season; will make our second shipment today to Denver. These ship- ments break all former records for early shipments. The earliest shipment in the last five years was August 1, 1906. In- dications are that the output for the season will be considerably lighter than usual, but quality never was better. General express shipments will begin August 6 to 8, car lot shipments about August 12." BERMUDA ONION SEED. Under date of July 11, Federico C. Varela sent from Teneriffe, in the Canary Islands, the following report of the year's crop of Bermuda onion seed: "We have been considerably handi- capped this year by most exception- ally rainless autumn and winter seasons. The persisting drought has checked from the outset the normal development of the plants, even where spring water is available, the flow being reduced to half of the usual. In numerous districts where water is collected in reservoirs during the rainy season the onion seed crop is a total failure through want of this precious liquid,' With the absence OURS IS A STRAIN OF PANSY SEED that will be sure to please you.

The supply of flowers is not large and nearly all are quickly taken up by the buyers. The prices, although some have been shaded, run as a whole about the same as at the last writing. The request for roses equals the sup- ply. American Beauties, owing no doubt to their comparatively good quality, are insufficient to fill orders. Gladioli and asters are more plentiful; in fact, the poorer grades of the for- mer show a tendency to accumulate. Hardy hydrangeas have been good stock all week. Excellent Easter lilies and some speciosums are offered. The supply of nympha!as equals the demand. Enough decorative greens are on hand to meet all requests. Various Notes.

This is not exactly what we ex- pect at this time, but it is a welcome relief to the public and it is favorable both to the grower and to the retailer in the handling of stock. There has been quite a perceptible improvement in the quality of flowers for some time, and the cooler weather admits of better color and stiffer stems. Business in a general way shows some improvement, and the opening of the schools and the returning of the town folks from various outings is a great help to the florist.

Still, it is hard to see what will justify much ad- vance in the face of the fact that asters are commencing to be brought into town in good quantities and mums are only a few weeks distant. Eoses are good, considering the season, and the retailers have had no difficulty in filling orders with fair stock. Sweet peas are a thing of the past and the public is tiring of them. Dah- lias and gladioli are in good quantity and quality and move nicely. Amaryllis have come into market and form an agreeable change. Orchids are not in excessive supply and are quickly bought up. From present indications, we may expect a fair autumn season, which will soon be upon us. Various Notes. C. P. Braslan has returned from his European trip.

G. THOSE S. A. F. AMENDMENTS. I Continued from page 15.1 person expected to devote any great amount of time to its work and should be placed in position so that he would be dependent for reappointment on the •lirectors, who are closely associated with him and have a thorough knowl- edge as to the quality of his work. It seems to the writer that it should be the policy of the society to get the serv- ices of the best man obtainable and to keep him in office continuously. A new man in the secretary's office cannot pos- sibly pick up all the details and be in )io8ition to give the society the best work of which he is capable, until he l.as had one or more years' experience. There are also many times when, if he carries out his duties with sole refer- ence to the best interests of the society, r.e must offend some of the members, ^f he is subject to reelection by popular vote, the temptation to the average man 'vill be to let the interests of the so- ciety "go hang" when it is a case of securing the support of a possibly in- ■luential man for his reelection, as 'gainst making that same man an ac- tive worker against him. It would f'eem a reasonable proposition that the best service from a secretary will be secured by removing any temptation for iiim to mix up in politics or identify himself with political factions, which will certainly be the case if the office continues to be an elective one and the incumbent wishes to hold it for any 'ength of time.

Mention The Review when yon write. executive board and is entirely unfa- miliar with the working machinery of the society, and he is compelled to rely largely on the knowledge and experi- ence of the secretary, and both are handicapped when the secretary is a new man and lacking in experience. A good secretary is like certain spirituous liquors; if not compelled to constantly play politics, he is sure to steadily grow better with age. I speak at the pres- ent time from personal experience, knowing how much (although I have seen four years' service on the execu- tive board) I was compelled to rely on the thorough knowledge of the so- ciety's conditions possessed by Mr. Stewart, not only by reason of his great ability, but also through his long serv- ice. The contrast was impressed upon me most forcibly when recently I came to fill the position of secretary under President Traendly and to realize how my lack of experience in the details of the office made me less helpful to Presi- dent Traendly and less useful to the society. The amendment to Article 5 is with the intent of giving the society the privilege of saying when it shall meet, as well as where. Under the present conditions, no matter how necessary it might be for the interests of the society to change the date of the meeting for even one week, it could not be done unless a formal notice to change the by-laws had been gotten up some months in advance and all the rest of the red tape had been gone through with. The argument has been advanced that we ought not to make this change because it has always been the other way. This seems to me about as poor an argument, either for or against any proposition, as one could possibly bring up. I cannot see why we may not as safely trust ourselves, when we are as- sembled in annual convention, to de- cide what time we shall meet as to de- cide where we shall meet.

The last amendment contemplates the changing of the fee for life member- ship from $25 -to $50. This has been repeatedly thrashed out and voted down, but it still seems to me that $25 is an absurdly small fee for life mem- bership and I feel quite confident, in looking over the present list of life members, that there are bat few of them who would not have taken the life membership just as willingly at a $50 fee as at a $25 one.

Welch, Shenandoah, la.; Sec'y, John Hall, Rochester, N Y.: Treas., C. L. Yates, Rochester, N. Y. Thirty-sixth an- nual meeting. St. Louis, June 1911. The death of Henry J. Bowden, Rochester, N. Y., is recorded in this week's obituary column. This week's obituary column contains a report of the death of George H. Shep- pard, a nurseryman of Lamonte, Mo. E. Y. Teas & Son, Centerville, Ind., say that "the season has been awfully, terribly dry," and that growth of nursery stock is deficient. James A. Lake, manager for the Hunt- ington Beach Nursery Co., at Huntington Beach, Cal., is making a three months' trip, in company with his wife, to Guern- sey, England, Mr. Lake's former home. They will also call at Paris, France, and visit the different countries in the British isles. The offices of the Elliott -Nursery Co., in Pittsburg, Pa., were entered on the night of July 22 by burglars, who ex- ploded the safe and secured $200 in cash, two gold watches and $8 in stamps. The burglary was not discovered till the fol- lowing morning, when J. W. Elliott, presi- dent of the company, found the safe in ruins. Stumpp & Walter Co., New York, were sustained July 15 by the board of general appraisers in their protest that Abies Nordmanniana is dutiable at $1 per thousand, plus fifteen per cent ad valorem, as evergreen seedlings, instead of twen- ty-five per cent ad valorem as nursery stock, as classified. This was a hold-over protest made under the tariff law of 1897, which was superseded a year ago by the present law. TBEE BLEEDING. Enclosed are three leaves from one of my shade trees. Can you tell me what to do for it? The sap is running out in all the different large joint places. I covered it with a heavy coat of whitewash, but it does not help. I do not like to lose the tree and would be glad to hear of some remedy. G. A. B. Examine the various joints and see if they show any signs of being cracked. If they do, it will be neces- sary to bolt the limbs together, after- wards brushing coal tar over the cracks to keep out water. If there are no A BLUE ROSE The Greatest Rose Novelty of the Century It flowered with us this sea- son and was greatly admired. The New Rambler (Violet Bine), hailed by the German rose growers as the forerunner of a genuinely cornflower bine rose, ia a seedling of Crimson Rambler, very vigorous and hardy, and free blooming.

May hew, of Waxa- haclde, Tex., before the American Association of Nurserymen at the Denver convention, con- tinued from the Review of July 28.] After reviewing the reason for taking 'lip the question of policy in replacing st'.ck at less than full price, Mr. May- licw continued: The Best Business Asset. But why should there be so much ef- f^t on the part of a few for reform al ng this line? Let us look into some of its baneful results. The greatest a^^et you can possess in business is the •^^""fidence of your patrons, and any P^'iicy that tends to destroy that con- fi'ence rather than stimulate it, is an e\ il. The policy of replace at less than fill value has left in the minds of Patrons an impression that nursery stock is of questionable value, that the C'St of production is so low that nurs- erymen can afford to guarantee cus- tomers against loss occasioned by neg- ^^ct, ignorance, droughts, freezes, etc.; tJiat the nurserymen could make money, in other words, if the half price should apply rather than the price catalogued, for most retailers have tied on to the policy of replace at half price. Why does this create in the miad of Field-Grown Carnation Plants ;i ji ^i!H{eady about August 15th.

August 4, lOlo. a patr6E[ a question concerning the true worth of our product? Simply because he is of sane piind and recognizes that in no other fine of business does this insane practice hold good. He knows he could not afford to ' sell a horse or cow for its true worth and guarantee said animal to live, or, in case of death, replace with one just as good at one- half the original price. The customer thinks, and being stimulated to judge us by this policy, arrives at the conclu- sion that we charged him too much in the first place, or that there is a "nig- ger in the wood-pile." Either sugges- tion tends to destroy confidence, the basis of satisfactory trade relations between the buyer and seller. We, and not the customer, are re- sponsible for the way he feels toward our business, for we have furnished fuel to feed his fire of prejudice, fur- nished this fuel without money and without price, and some of us wonder why there is this want of confidence. If we had spent a few moments consider- ing the result of this practice, surely our conclusions would not have been different from the customer's. [ To be continued.] PROVIDENCE. The Market. And now it's asters! They are com- ing in plentifully and the demand is satisfactory. Sweet peas are still popu- lar, but the fancy ones are passing for the season. Carnations are off crop, but roses are in good form. There was an acceleration of business on Saturday, July 30, from the conducting of Carna- tion day for the benefit of Emily S. Chase Memorial Home at Oakland Beach, where children from this city are given fresh-air vacations during the summer. Various Notes. John Hays, of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., of Philadelphia, is with his family at Newport for the summer season. Nathan D. Pierce, of the Norwood Greenhouses, has installed a new gaso- line pump at his range, upon which he will depend for his water supply. The new apparatus is a powerful one and draws the water out of an artesian well ninety feet deep, carries it along the service for a distance of 300 feet and then lifts it up into a tank a distance of thirty-three feet. The capacity of the pump is fourteen gallons per min- ute. The installing of the new pump does away with the old windmill, which has been a familiar sight in that sec- tion for the last quarter of a century. H. Howard Pepper, proprietor of the Melrose Rose Gardens, of this city, has- been promoted from assistant secretary to assistant treasurer of the Industrial Trust Co. J. A. Budlong & Son Co. is throwing out the carnations and replacing them with violets at the range at Auburn. Charles Hunt is busy putting in new glass to replace that broken in his Burnside street houses in the heavy hail storm of several weeks ago. W. H. Warburton, of Fall Eiver, was in the city a few days ago purchasing supplies, in the absence of his father, C. Warburton, who has gone abroad. John C. Caswell, with the W. E.

Gulp & Co. report that trade conditions in this locality shared with the rest of the country in the effects of the peculiar spring and early sum- mer season. However, a general sum- ming up shows that a good business was totaled for the season, with records broken for Easter, Mother's day and Memorial day. Business carried up well through June, but the midsummer dullness is surely here now. There is nothing be- ing done except occasional funeral work, and stock is none too plentiful or good for that. The protracted dry spell, which re- mains unbroken, has nearly ruined the outdoor flower crops, such as asters, etc., as it seems impossible, even with continuous watering, to hold stock in a growing and flowering condition with temperatures running from 102 to 105 degrees every day for a week, with a strong wind blowing as if from a fur- nace and with the humidity as low as 22 at times. However, there is some prospect of a rain before long. The general damage to crop conditions has been great. Corn and fruit have suffered to an almost incalculable de- gree. NEW ORLEANS. The Market. For several weeks the weather has been quite rainy, cutting down the sup- ply of flowers, though these, however, do not usually look extra bright here at this time of the year. Single tuberoses are now the most acceptable flowers for general work. Eoses are badly burned by frequent showers and hot sunshine, and the aster crop has only a brief existence in this locality. Chrys- anthemum plants alone seem to like the weather, and so far nothing has been reported against this important crop. Various Notes. At XJ. J. Virgin's it is noticed that the Ficus nitida is coming again into favor as a decorative plant. It was formerly used extensively, before the more graceful palms took the lead. In fact, it is a remarkably bright ever- green, standing any kind of abuse, and is well adapted for a background deco- ration, if nothing else. A lot of Areca lutescens, planted on benches in the greenhouse, look fine — far better, in- deed, than the outdoor stock, as gener- ally seen in this vicinity. K. E. Simon, the new vice-president of the New Orleans Horticultural Soci- ety, has long been a member of the florists' trade and is now connected with the Metairie Eidge Nursery. He has had a wide experience and will be a valuable assistant to the new board. M. M. L. West Qrove, Pa. — D. F. Green has sold out to Allen E. Brown and re- moved to his old home at Boonsboro, Md. Enosburg Falls, Vt.— While engaged recently in painting the greenhouses of J. H. Mears, Clarence Billado fell through one of the roofs, receiving some bad cuts in one of his arms.

CHARLES H. TOTTY, Madison, N. J. Mention The Review when you write. EVANSVILLE, IND. The Market. Summer dullness prevails here. Work for a few funerals is about all there is to do. Eoses and carnations are poor. Sweet peas are about gone, while other outdoor flowers are being ruined by ex- cessive rains. The rainfall for July was 10.32 inches, with rain on twenty- three days during the month. A Visit to Blackmail's. A visit to the greenhouses of the Wm. Blackman Floral Co. found the summer work moving along in good style. The old roses are being dried off and will soon be in shape to start growing again. The new house, planted to roses in April, shows good growth. The roses are Bride, Bridesmaid and White Kil- larney. The house of young Beauties is coming finely. Between two houses a sash house has been built, with one side open to the weather, and has been planted to My Maryland roses, which are now full of buds and looking well. Plenty of flowers will be got from these this month. Three houses have been planted to carnations and two more houses are about ready to plant. The chrysanthe- mums are in a healthy condition. E. L. R MINNEAPOLIS. The Market. Summer dullness still pervades the city. There is little demand for stock, and little stock to get. Kaiserin, My Maryland and Pink Killarncy are bloom- ing profusely. Carnations are scarce. Sweet peas are more or less plentiful. It is feared that asters will be a failure, though some are growing them with suc- cess, but not in the quantities hereto- fore experienced. Amateur gardeners in such stock have failed utterly. Various Notes. The Minnesota State Florists' Asso- ciation held its picnic July 26, at Wild- wood, and had a most successful, enjoy- able outing. A large crowd repaired early in the morning by street car to the place appointed, and spent the day in games and lake trips, ending with dancing in the evening. O. J. Olson, Louis Boeglein and J. P. Jorgenson were the committee on arrangements. Visitors: B. Eschner, of M. Eiee & Co., Philadelphia. M. E. M.

The batches first housed are liable to come short-stemmed, unless after housing they are kept for a few days in a warm, dark case, to draw them up somewhat. Before starting them they should be well rooted and have top growths two to two and one-half inches long. Soak all bulbs thoroughly after planting and it will be necessary to give them addi- tional waterings before forcing. Even if the surface soil may seem damp, that below will be comparatively dry.

Van- derlip, James Speyer, V. Everit Macy and several other New York million- aires are angry with the village of Ossining. A short time ago Frank R. Pierson, the largest grower of American Beauty roses in this country, gave the village authorities permission to dump its garbage in a cove which he owns at Scarborough, where the said million- aires live. "One day, when the wind was blow- ing from the cove, there came a smell which caused the financial noses to turn up and moved some of them to remark that Pierson had neglected his roses and they were spoiling on his hands. But Pierson hadn't. It was the garbage they smelled. A protest has been made and the denizens of Scarborough are seriously considering suing the village of Ossining." — New York World.

(ireenlioose Beating. The best form of insurance a green- house owner can take on at this particular time is a big stock of coal. Under pres- ent conditions, and in the light of last season's experience, it is almost fool- hardy to let cold weather find no stock of coal on the place. OPEN AIR COAL STOBAGE. Last season 'a fuel famine was so vi- tal with many florists that they are protecting themselves this season by getting on the place, before cold weath- er, as large a stock of coal as their storage sheds will permit. In some cases, where storage space is lacking, the coal will be dumped on the ground. There is one objection to the open air storage of bituminous coal: It deterio- rates in quality through slaking. To avoid this, build up the outdoor coal pile as compactly as possible and cover the lump coal with fine screenings. The screenings keep out the air, and with this protection the deterioration is Blight. UNDEBOBOUND SUPPLY PIPE. Kindly let me know whether it is possible to change the supply line from my boiler to the greeiibouse. The boiler house is some distance from the greenhouse, and on lower ground. At present the supply pipe rises gradually from the boiler to the lower part of the greenhouse or office. Hence the pipe is outside, and, though boxed up, it still loses a great deal of heat. Be- sides, it does not add any to the looks of the place. I should like to lay the pipe two feet below the ground, in tile. Is this practicable, or would there be trouble on account of water collecting at the lowest point! I am located in southwestern Pennsylvania. M. B. S.

If a drip pipe can be run from the THE COAL SITUATION Coal men say that the average green- house owner has not waked up to the dangers of the present situation in the coal market. The forehanded growers, who have not forgotten the anxious days of last winter, are buying coal and getting it on the place; they will have large supplies and maintain them against a time of need. But the happy- go-lucky man is doing nothing. Coal men say delays are dangerous. Usually at this season the salesmen for the fuel firms are circulating among the florists, urging them to buy coal; the anxiety is all on the part of the coal man, who has cars on track and no place to put them. Such is not the case this year, nor has it been the case at any time during the summer. In the Illinois fields mining has been almost at a standstill for many weeks. It is estimated that the full capacity out- put in Illinois is 300,000 tons per week. With this enormous quantity removed from the market, there has been a place ready and waiting for every car that SMITH, LINEAWEAVER & CO, COAL Amtkraeite. Bitumlnooi, Coke and Gm Co>1 xruTt-SySS... Philadelphia Mentiou The Review when you write has come into the market from fields where operations have been steadily conducted. The result has been that there was no pressure to get people to take coal they did not immediately need. It was expected that the Illii'ois mines would start up this week, but the miners have rejected the arrange- ment made by the president of their union with the mine operators and the resumption of production is not yet iD sight. When the mines start it wil' he some days before a full output can be attained. This hardly can occur before the active fall demand will arise. A further factor is the prospect of car shortage. Even with many mines idle, there are fewer idle cars than there were at this date last year. When all the mines are again going full capa*' ity, there is certain to be a car short- age.

The west side will be connected to a house with a 614-foot wall. I wish to heat this house to 50 degrees in zero weather, in this Ohio climate. I should like to use 4-inch cast iron pipe for flows and returns. My boiler is an upright. Will it be neces- sary to tap it for 4-inch flows and 4- inch returns, as it is tapped now for only 21/^-inch flows and 2-inch returns? The top of the boiler is eighteen inches below the return pipes. C. A. B. While it is better to use smaller pipe than 4-inch for hot water heating, it will be possible to secure the temper- ature mentioned in a house 15x60 feet by using two 4-inch flow pipes and four 4-inch returns, provided the boiler is sufficiently large. For a house of the size mentioned, it will answer if each flow is connected with the boiler by means of a 2%-inch pipe, and each re- turn by means of a 2-inch pipe. A SMALL VIOLET HOUSE. I have a small greenhouse in which I intend to try growing violets. The house is 8x15 feet, and five feet six inches to the ridge. Can you tell me of some way to heat it inexpensively? The outside temperature in this part of Colorado sometimes goes as low as 15 degrees below zero. C. A. The house can be readily heated by using fifty square feet of radiating sur- face, but just how the pipes should be run cannot be definitely told without knowing something of the arrangement of the house. A simple method of pip- ing for hot water, which would probably give the best results for so small a house, would be to use one liA-inch flow pipe on each side of the house, with two 1^-inch returns connected to each flow. For the house menticned, a heat- er rated for seventy-five square feet of radiating surface will be desirable. UNSATISFACTORY PIPING. I have a greenhouse forty-eight feet long, from east to west, by thirty feet wide. It is ten feet high at tlie high- est part, sloping eight feet to the north and twenty-two feet to the south. The west and north walls are wood. On the north side of the house is a lean-to eight feet wide, which is used as a boiler room and workroom.

I had my book-keeper compare my coal bill of last with that of this year and I find v^a.viiig of one quarter the amount of this year's coal over last year's; also the past winter was a great deal colder and longer than the winter before. " There is another very good feature about the Damper Regulator, as it keeps a uniform heat in all the houses at all times by putting on and shutting off pipes. And I find that my Roses and Ferns did far better this winter than any winter so far, as the temperature was so uniform at all times. " My reason for writing you is to let you know, and also to thank you for bringing my attention to the Regulator, and I assure you I cannot speak too highly of this machine."

'•If they run around the four sides of the house, the ten 1^4 -inch pipes will supply an abundance of radiating sur- faice, but the pipes should have been of a larger size 4or so long a run. The great trouble, however, is in the use of too small a connection between the i boiler and the coils. There should have ' lieen three connections at least, and four would have been better. Even ; by using the full number of connections, it, is doubtful whether a satisfactory •irculation can be secured, unless a •Ibsed system is used, with the present arrangement of the coils. i The best way of arranging the heat- iijig system would be to use three 2i/^- iilch flow pipes, running one on each wall and one near the center of the liouse to the west end, and connecting •ach flow with five 2-inch return pipes. BUFFAI.O. The Market. An unusual amount of funeral work lor this season helped nearly every- body last week. Social functions are few and there is little call for flowers aside from this. Sweet peas are sold in large quantities, owing to the low price. Asters are on the market, but as yet are quite short-stemmed. Gladioli are not so plentiful and the market keeps cleaned up. Florists' Picnic. On Wednesday, July 27, the banner picnic of the Buffalo Florists' Club was held at Fort Erie Beach. The attend- ance was the largest on record, 108 people sitting at the tables, and, in ad- dition, some left after the games were run. The weather became threatening toward the end, but the boys kept right •n and not a person left until the ball game was stopped by a shower. The games were run off quickly and the un- necessary delay, which usually occurs, was avoided. Hot competition followed in nearly all the events, which ended as follows: Ladle*' race — First, Miss Jensen; second, Mrs. Smitb; third. Miss Berner.

In each event the store men were pit- ted against the growers and everybody expected an easy victory for the grow- ers in the latter event, but, unfor- tunately, Joe Streit had his dancing pumps on and the growers were much handicapped.

As far as business is concerned, there is absolutely nothing new to report. The store men have become sufficiently used to it by this time to content themselves with a funeral design or a wedding bunch for a day's business. Most of them are keeping busy by cleaning up their places, with new pa- per and paint, so as to be in shape for the early fall trade, to which we are all looking forward hopefully. The stock that is coming in is of poor quality and shows the effect of the ex- ceedingly dry, hot sumnier. Asters are arriving and are mostly indoor stock of Queen of the Market, which seems to be blighted badly this season. Various Notes. The summer meeting of the Maryland State Horticultural Society was • heW at Berlin, July 28, and at Ocean City July 29. It was the fargest meeting ever .held by the society. When the train bearing the Baltimore and Wash- ington delegates, nearly 600 members and friends, arrived, it was greeted by a committee composed of Orlando Har- rison, H. G. Harrison and G. A. Har- rison. There were addresses by Richard Vincent, Jr., George Morrison, presi- dent of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Baltimore, and Congressman J. Harry Covington. The Harrison Nurseries contain over 2,000 acres of fine land. They grow 200,000 apple, 200,000 pear, 300,000 peach, 150,000 cherry, 100,000 plum trees, 150,000 grape vines, over 100 acres in straw- berry plants and twenty acres of as- paragus roots. Preparations for attending the an- nual convention of the S. A. F. formed one of the chief topics of discussion at the last meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, July 24. The bowling team will be on hand to try for more prizes, and this will be the strongest team ever sent to a convention. About thirty-five members will attend from Baltimore. Final arrangements will be made at the next meeting, August 8, for a special car. Q. Syracuse Red Pots We have a large Btook of well made and well burned pots on hand for the trade of 1910.

Trade is rather quiet here at pres- ent. A spurt of funeral work now and then is about all that is doing, es- pecially since the street car strike be- gan, and what few deliveries we have are hard to get out. The cost of deliv- eries, too, is quite an item, for orders intended for the outlying districts are now taken on wagons, while a boy might jump on a car and deliver them for half the money. As it is, hardly anyone rides and it is unsafe to do so, on account of the numerous riots of the sympathizers. There are now al- most 3,200 soldiers in Columbus and business is almost at a standstill. Tkere is but little stock coming in at present. Some fair ca^-nations are still shipped in. Roses are of a little better grade, but are limited in supply. Asters are making their appearance, but are small; there is nothing but Queen of the Market, etc., at present, bat the outlook is good for some fine stock shortly. Gladioli find a ready sale and are quite plentiful. Sweet peas are about done and the quality of them is such that they can hardly be moved at any price. Various Notes. Quite a number of the trade are away on their vacations and the forces at nearly all the stores and greenhouses are short several clerks. Those that have returned from their vacations all report a good time. Judging from the outlook now, few people from this city will attend the conrention. J. M.

"Summer trade," answers all ques- tions regarding business. There was a shortage of flowers for a few days, but even that is now a thing of the past. Carnations have almost disappeared, but who cares? They were not of much account, anyhow, and now there are plenty of asters and roses, which will take care of any orders that may appear. The flower stores have a deserted look, most of the help keeping out of sight, just so they will not seem to be loafing. Various Notes. A. M. Murdoch, who has been the only florist on Fifth avenue for some years, doing business in what was probably the most valuable store per square foot in the city ,\ has retired from business and rented his store to an eastern firm for a sum said to be $125,000 for a term of years. Among those who are away on vaca- tions are: Gilbert "Weaklen and fam- ily, at Chautauqua Lake; J. B. Mur- doch and family, at Atlantic City; T. P. Langhans and family, at Les Gheneaux Island, Mich. A, W. Smith, Jr., has a cottage at Chautauqua and spends the week-ends there with his family. Mr. Hall, with the A. W. Smith Co., is spending his vacation in the country. Paul Randolph met with an accident which might have proved serious. He was under his car making some repair, when some one started the engine. He lost a little bark off his chin and got a scare; that was all. Some of our city florists who have decorations out of town and haul the plants in automobiles, are saying what they think of the oiling system for macadamized roads, and it is not com- plimentary. The prospects are for a large delega- tion to the S. A. F. convention at Eochester. The business heretofore conducted under the name of E. C. Ludwig will be known as the E. C, Ludwig Floral Co. W. A. Clarke and wife, of the Pitts- burg Cut Flower Co., left July 30 for Chicago with the Knights Templars, where they will attend the triennial conclave, after which they will visit Milwaukee and Mackinac, returning by the way of Detroit. -^ Miss McKinley, of Randolph & Mc- Clements, is spending her vacation in Ohio.

Take this hooded entrance way for example; how much it adds to the interest and actual beauty of the house, yet what thor- oughly consistent greenhouse building it is in every way ! It is easy enough to make a house very ornamental, but how will ihis affect the nunilwr of rose bloora.s in December? That's the vital point ! Back of the reputation you know we have for successful, enduring houses is our half century or more of work, back- ing up that reputation. It is such facts that give you entira'cofifidence in a con- cern, and tninsucting bu:iiiiess with them is free from the customary anxieties and "come backs."

The makers of greenhouse ma- terial are designing houses evprjr~^y for all kinds of stook and purposes and they know what the growers in various part* of the country are doing.

It recently was reported in The Ee- viow that A. M. Murdoch, the Pittsburg retailer, had retired from business, leasing his store at a price which would make him independent, and the com- ment was subjoined that Mr. Murdoch's Btore probably brought the highest rental per square foot of any flower store in the country. The accompanying illustration shows the building in which Mr. Murdoch has done business, at 252 Fifth avenue, Pittsburg, fot the last fifteen years. The building is only 15x35 feet. The rental is over $10,000 per year, $125,000 for the term, and is at the rate of over #20 per square foot per year. Is there any other florist in the country who has done business in a store which would command so great a price? "Who won- ders that he should retire and live on bis rentf ESSENTIALS OF DESIGN. The Stock and Its Arrangement. We have been taught to believe that one-half and one-half make a unit, but as we grow older we are inclined to ob- serve that even a mathematical truth may be altered in that a large half and a small half may make a more harmoni- ous unit than if the accepted propor- tions were equai. The query often arises: What is a good design, or what are its essentials, simply stated? Bearing in mind that a design means any combination of flowers, from a boutonniere to a wedding decoration, and that the derivation of the word itself hints that there is to be a mark- ing out, a sign, an expression, there must be some idea or thought to be expressed. Taking for granted that there must be some quality to the flowers or plants, there is but one other essential to any display, and that is arrangement. Thus simplified, our design must contain flow- ers somewhat notable for beauty or size, and must also show good arrange- ment. Let us discover which of these two essentials weighs the more in the discnssion of the subject. That the quality of the stock is an important consideration, say in a win- dow decoration or a bride's bouquet, does not require lengthy argument. Ex- cellence anywhere is its own recommen- dation. Extra good stock sells itself, other things being equal. But other things are not always equal. The mar- ket may be overcrowded, the season dnll, and something must be added to the excellence of the stock to induce sales. This topic properly belongs to the latter part of our subject and will b« considered later. Neither is it al- ways possible to have stock of tiptop quality; average stock is what can be sold in everyday trade, and while excel- lence of quality is the ambition of every up-to-date grower, ideal stock is not met with every day, and we must make the best of what we have. On the other hand, we must avoid degrading fine stock by poor arrangement. A Difficult Combination. But somebody will suggest that while arrangement for display is important, some consideration must be given to good storage at the same time, and good storage and good arrangement are on the oil and water order, — they don't mix worth a cent. Flowers, to look well, must be loosely and individually arranged, and if pulled too far out of deep water they will suffer. This is all undoubtedly true, but we must ex- pect a certain per cent of stock to be sacrificed for the sake of display and to sell the rest. Frequently, also, those flowers used for display, and which show deterioration, can be removed, placed deep in water over night and brought out again as good as new, or they may come in for immediate use in formal designs. A few extra steps and thoughts will make up the larger part of loss which comes in this way. Passing on to the second essential of a good design, let us observe that good arrangement will sell stock of excellent quality more quickly and will emphasize the best points of common quality stock. Let us see what are the principal points in any good, correct arrangement. In the lifetime of a decorator, flowers or plants, to be well placed, must not be left to one style, often repeated, but should have the advantage of varied schemes. To add to the value of excellent stock to develop medium quality, to create value for poor stock, the following prin- ciples of design will be found neces- sary: First, lines or stems must come from a common source or series of sources; second, the coloring must be harmonious; third, there must be a limit to variety of form and color; fourth, there must be present some signs of individuality in the tone and expres- sion of the completed piece. Harmony of Outlines. Eeturning to the first essential, the starting of all lines, or stems, from a common source or series of sources — in other words, form harmony — let us illus- trate. In filling a handle basket, group the stems in, say, two places next and around the bases of the handle. Set the stems, short and long, close together, as though all were springing from one root, and flare them far apart at the flower ends, so that each group shall resemble a tree top. By the time two such groups are in, the basket will be about filled, with the exception of a little background of moss or ferns. Just for comparison, fill the basket as is ordi- narily done, with every stem where there is room for it, and compare the results. There is no kind of floral design where this principle will not hold true. Show me a well-arranged bride's bou- quet, shower or armful efl'ect, and I will show you where the charm of all its lines lies, and that is in their con- formity to this cardinal principle of arrangement. They have the effect of all running back to one source if thev were carried out. It is the same way with the easy grace of an armful ar- rangement; the stems all are directed to one point, and the tie, if one is used, should find its source here also. Harmony of Color. So much — ^but not too much — has been said about color harmony as a wide subject of itself, that it is not within the limits of this discussion to do it justice. One sees so many violations of the simplest rules of color, which, it seems, ought to be apparent to even the most casual student, that one is almost compelled to harp on the subject contin- ually. Anybody can learn the rudiments of color and develop their practice to a reasonable extent. But he cannot do it by ignoring all he has learned and slapping into his window every old color' that happens to be nearest. African marigolds and Beacon carna- tions are the cats and dogs of color: yet three-fourths of self-styled "floral artists" have no conscience about dis- playing them close together. American Beauty, colored phloxes and Chatenay roses jar each other like a dischargee of dynamite; yet every other window you see blinks like a pair of cross eyes with jusit such attempted combinations. ADODST 11, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review. 11 If without color tact, hire somebody who has a little of it. If it is really necessary to display flowers of inharmo- nius colors, separate them in some way, with one in front and the other as far away as possible — one prominent and the other retiring. Foliage of one kind and another is a good neutralizer for this kind of work. Size and Form of Flowers. The third topic of this list is, the limit of number of kinds and varieties to be used together. As with the color question, it is almost impossible to lay down definite rules governing the flow- ers which make harmonious combina- tions, so far as size and form are con- cerned. Usually flowers of about one size are best together. An exception to this is the employment of very large and very tiny flowers together, such as lilies and violets. Thus equal sizes and extremes of size are permissible, while those that are nearer alike in size may not be such desirable combinations, un- less for other reasons. For other than color reasons, Ameri- can Beauties and daisies make a poor combination, having no similarity of form or style of foliage or flower. Eoses and carnations are sometimes called for in sprays. While there is no special discord in their union, there is nothing whatever to commend it. Lilies with tulips or hyacinths are ideal. Phloxes and hydrangeas are equally good, pro- vided the coloring is harmonious; so, also, are gladioli and hydrangeas, snap- dragons and hydrangeas, asters and peas, snapdragons and peas, carnations and peas, daisies and carnations, and, for a delightful combination of extremes in size, auratums and peas. Where the extra large flowers and the extra small ones are used, do not mix without a fixed plan for their place in the design. Use them for a shower, over the stems, or along the edges, for embroidered ef- fects on the wide chiflEon loops or ends, or for bands or in place of ties. The Element of Individuality. The fourth requisite for a good design is the element of individuality, that which distinguishes one person 's work from that of another. This consists not of some trifling mannerism repeated in every piece of work produced; it is not a pet style, but an unnamable speaking out of the personality, a giving of one's own thought, which, like one's personal habits of speech and demeanor, means yourJelf and nobody else. Two things combine to produce in- dividual work: First, an ability to an- f-yze and understand the individuality in each flower and plant to be dealt ■"^Hh; second, the ability to make them speak your thoughts in the assemblage which is called the design. "All coons look alike to me. " " Yes, and all roses of one variety look alike to me," says somebody. But all coons did not look *Uke to Uncle Eemus; neither need all Killarneys look alike to the interested •tudent. The distribution of color, the set of the flower, the turn of the stem, its length, the angles of the leaves, the un- folding of the petals — these are a few tilings which determine the individu- ality of the flower. They have expres- •lons, contenances and profiles. Which half of this subject has the Peater weight in a good design, is left t*' the discrimination of the reader. Gertrude Blair. Home of the A. T.

A reader of The Review who for obvious reasons shall remain nameless, but who is located in a town of 20,000 inhabitants and who does a business of from $10,000 to $12,000 per year, sends the following statement and inquiry: "Owing to the growth of business and lack of room, we find that we shall soon be obliged to give up either our cut flower and design work or the grow- ing and sale of bedding plants. "The present business is divided as follows: Eighty per cent cut flowers and designs, twenty per cent plants, etc. We have eighty per cent of the local cut flower and design business and seventy per cent of the plant trade; have about 12,000 feet of glass and are centrally located; have four competi- tors, new and old. "Lonal trade would not use all the plants we could grow and it would therefore necessitate some wholesaling. On the other hand, we would still be obliged to buy some of our cut flowers. "The question with us is as to which branch is best to drop. While the cut flower end is the most confining, it if probably the best paying. We would like to get the opinion of some of the trade who have been obliged to take this same step, as to what the outcome has been. Which line is the most desir- able and is our 12,000 feet of glaii enough to make the wholesale growing of plants combined with local retau trade as paying a proposition as the cut flower end would bet "Would you think that the dropping of the plant trade would matenallr affect our cut flower and design bun- nesst" The Review is of the opinion that the proper course for this subscriber is to build more glass, even at the expense of a change in location. If readers who have met a similar problem will send in their views they will be pub- lished and, no doubt, read with interest by many besides those whose words are quoted above.

The Stock and Its Arrangement. We have been taught to believe thai one-half and one half nu.ke a unit, but as we grow older we are inclined to ob serve that even a mathematical truth may be altered in that a large half and a small half may make a more harmoni- ous unit than if the accepted propor- tions were ecpial. The (piery often arises: Wliat is a good design, or wliat are its essentials, simply stated? Bearing in mind that a design means any combination of llowers, from a boutonniere to a wedding decoration, and that the derivation of the word itself hints th.at there is to be a mark- ing out, a sign, an .>xf)ression, there must be some idcLi or thought to be expressed. Taking for ;;r.niicd ttiat there must be some (pi.ality to the liowt rs or plants, there is but oik- other essential to any display, and th.at is iirrangement. Thus simplified, our design must cont.ain flow- ers somewliat notalile for beauty or size, and must also show good arrange- ment. Let lis disco\fi wliicli of these two essentials weighs the more in the discussion of the siihieit. That the qualitv of tho stock is an important consiut somebody will suggest that while arrangement for display is important, some <-oiisiderat ion must be gi\eii to good storage at the same time, and good storage and good ariangeincnt are on the oil and water oi'der. — they don't mix worth a <'eiit. Floweis, to look Storc'of A. M. Murdoch. well, must be looselx' and indi\ if|iiall\ arranged, and if i)nlled too far out of deep water they will suffer. 'i'his is all undoubtedly true, but we must ex- pect a certain jier cent of stock to be sacrificed for the sake of dis|ilay and to sell the rest. Fre(|uentlv. also, those flowers used for display, .and whicli show deterioration, can be removeil, placed deep in water over night and brought (Mit agjiin as good as new. or they may come in I'oi- immediate use in formal design--. A few extra steps and thoughts \\\\\ make up the larger ly. ot' loss whiidi conies in this way. Passing on to the second essentia of .1 good design, let us observe that j; qj arrangeiiu'nt will sell stock of excel nt ipiality more quickly and will empha zi the best points of comni.on quality st k Let us see what are the jirincipal po ts in any good, correct arrangement. ]^ the lifetime of a decorator, flower- or plants, to be well placed, must nor le left to one style, often repeated, jf should have the ad\antage of va. ^ schemes. To add to the value of excellent sti k to develo]) medium (piality, to ore te \;ilue for jiooi' sto(d\. the following pr n- cipU's of design will be found ne j- sary: First, lines or stems must co:.:e from a common source or series of sources; second, the coloring must -e harmonious; third, there must be a limit to variety of form and col r; fourth, there tnust be j)reseiit some si^ng oi' individuality in th(> tone and expr.^- si(ui of the completed piece. Harmony of Outlines. h'eturning to the first essential, ti.e starting of all lines, or stems, from a common source or series of sources — in other words, form harmony — let ug illus- trate. In filling a handle basket, gro',;p the stems in, say, two ))laces next anu around the bases of the handle. Set the stems, short and long, close together, as though all were springing from one root, and flare them far apart at the llower ends, so that each group shall resemble a tree top. By the time two such groups are in, the basket will be about filled, with the excef>tioa of s. littl(> ba(d\ground of moss or ferns. Jv.3: for comjiarison, fill the basket as is oriii- narily done, with every stem where tliert> is room for it. and compare tbe results.

It is the same wsy with the easy grace of an armful 6' raiigemeiit; the stems all are directc '. to one jioint. and the tie, if one is use should find its source here also. Harmony of Color. Ho mu(di--but not too much — h. been said aliout color harmony as a wi^ subject of itself, that it is not with the limits of this discussion to do justice. One sees so many violations i the sim7)lest rules of cfdor. which. seems, ought to be apparent to even tr most c,"is\i;il student, that one is almo- "•ointielled to harp on the subject conti'. ii.ally. .\nybo.ly can learn the rudimen of ccdor and develop their practice to re.isonable extent.

The principal subject which I wish to present to you, and which will be brought up for discussion, is regarding *he duty on plants, flowers, in- secticides and supplies. Shall we petition to abolish the duty on plants and flowers coming into Can- ada, or will it be advisable to Imve it abolished on plants or supplies or insecticides only? I trust that dur- ing the sessions of our meetings our deliberations may be earnest, honest and decisive, and that i-ach one will express his own individual opinions, either by speaking or voting, on any subject that may be presented.

The Chicago Florists' Club has ar- ranged with the Lake Shore & Michi- gan Southern railroad for transporta- tion to the Rochester convention as follows: A special train will be provided, same to be counterpart of the Twentieth Centurji Limited and to consist of com- bination baggage and buffet car, one of the famous Lake Shore diners, as many 12-section and drawing-room sleep- ing cars (compartment cars if de- sired) as may be required to properly take care of the party and give every- one plenty of room, the train to be fin- ished off with either an open section or compartment observation end sleeping <'ar. The train will leave Chicago at .'):30 p. m. Monday, August 15, arriving in Rochester at 9 a. m. Tuesdav, August 16. The rate authorized for this occasion is one and three-fifths fare on the cer- tificate plan, $13.38 going (passengers to be sure and ask for certificates in I)urchasing their tickets, for on same will depend their being able to secure the reduced rate returning) and three- fifths of that or $8.10 returning, mak- ing a total of $21.48 for the round trip. The Pullman rates are as follows: Double lower berth or upper berth, $3; section, $6; compartment, $8.50: draw- ing room, $11. Delegates from St. Louis, Indianap- olis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Columbus, etc., can join together and arrange for special sleepers to be attached to this spocial train at Cleveland, thus bring- ing all together at that point for the remainder of the journev, Cleveland to Rochester. As to the Detroit people, it would be a very easy matter for them to join the special train at Toledo. The St. Louis people could come via Chicago and join this special train if they so desired, as the same rate would apply through Chicago as via the direct line. All florists are invited by the Chi- cago Florists' Club to travel with the Chicago party. G. K. Thompson, general agent pas- senger department, will accompany the party for the purpose of seeing that everything goes smoothly. For further information and reservation, address U. K.

I'hilpott, president of the Canadian llorticultiiial As.soeiation. at Its thirteenth annual eonveiitiijn. in St. Catherines, Ont., August 10 and 11, 1910.] As jjresident of tiie Canadian Horti- cultural Association, I widcome you to our convention and thirteenth annual session, hero in St. Catherines. We sin- cerely trust that tn ery session may prove interesting enough to have you all present at each. In the first place, let us get acquaint- ed with each other. The fault of these meetings to a great extent is, that we do not extend to the strangers assem- bled with us the cordial greeting or friendly hand-clasp that would warrant them in feeling at home, lijvo the rest of us, who are b(;tter known to each other. Do not let any of us go home from these meetings without having be- come accjuainted with each other — not only witli the members of our associ- ation, but with our brothers who have become interested enougii to join us during this time. Let us feel that they have not left us total strangers. It would be a good ide.a to appoint a com- mittee to take charge of this most es- sential feature — to intrrxluce to each other the members and friends who are gathered with us. It may bo that among us are one or more total stran- gers, who have become interested in our aims and ambitions to progress in hor- ticulture, and have taken this oppor- tunity to meet us as a body in di.scuss- ing and bettering the interests along this line. They may be induced, simply by the friendly clasp extended to them, to become one of us. The Society's Aims. The object of this society is to lift and cairy forward everything that tends to a(hance and perfect our work along all lines and in all branches of our pro- fession, and to impart to all its mem bers such information as may be known to eacli one, so that all may share in the benefit. So lee us present any subject and enter into all discussions in the analyzation of any economic ipiestioiis of the day. While we are as yet [iiacticaily a young orgaiiizalion, miedi is e.xnected to result from the elforts of tliis society, and we want to do our best to instruct our members and educate tiie masses in all liiK^'s jiertaining to lurticulture. We want to widen and deepen the interest in our jirofession by increasing our inembershi|) to su(di an extent that it will include all the leading men of Cau- ;nla Avho are interested in any lines in the calling of liorticulture. We Avant to encourage the formation of kindred societies, encouraging exiiibitions of jilants and (lowers. b_s' bringing the re- tail dealer into closer rcdationsliip with the grower and wholesaler, as, unless the retailers make a success of their business, it is hojieless to expect that the growers or wholesalers can do so. Making the Meetings Attractive. What we want to do is to make our meetings so interesting .-ind of such value to the members that they will look forward to each time of meeting. To do this, we must all work together, and those of us who are experienced in the work must be willing to impart their knowledge to the others by dis- cussing the best methods of growing and of treating the various plants and iioweis that eacii is individually in' ■-. ested in; to explain to eac!i other w. ,t we have found to be the moc-t profits le methods of erecting and fitting ,;, greenhouses, the best way to heat :■ !; ventilate, and all points that will h .<\ us to attain the best results.; and rea! e the greatest profits. We should be g ,,i to explain the kind of treatment, ,,i toods and nourishment, tlmt we i: ,; most beneficial from our experime' s along this line; also to describe c. means that we have found best in g -. ting rid of the diseases and insects tl it attack the different plants, and so • v to help each other to our ultermost -. making the work less arduous and ai e |U'olitable. Increasing the Membership. l>y t li(> practical exjterience of i. r brothers we may be enabled to prev^iit a waste of time, waste of t nergy av>\ waste of money that would be niori? beneiicial to tis if spent in recreation and amusement, it is only by untiriiu' elforts and by working ti gctlier aloii' these lines that we can hope to add ro our list of members, and show them we are organized to help along the inter- ests of tiie florists in :il- lines an.l branches. And wliil(> wo know that our exhibi- tions and meetings will admit of mauv improvements from the standpoint oi the public, we c;in but do our best to make them educative and instructive on the lines we are working in. and ;i.s nearly right as we know how, I feel that I can safely state tkar there is a grand future foi us in this country, as the extensive building an': improvement of greenhouses, and the nurseries starting up during the past year, convince me that times are pro^- Harry E.

INDIANAPOLIS. Florists' Picnic. The florists of the city enjoyed an outing at Berterniann 's farm, seven miles east of the city, on Thursday, August 4. Two hundred florists, em- ployees and their families went in the afternoon in two special interurban cars for a picnic — the happiest event, the florists say, among all the picnics they have ever held. The committee on arrangements, consisting of Charles Pahud, Will Boepke, Homer Wiegand, Irwin Bertermann, Harry Rieman, A. F. J. Baur and Fred Hukreide, is to be thanked for the good time. A string band furnished music until late in the evening and the picnickers did the rest. The grove was beautifully deco- rated with American flags and Jap- anese lanterns. Ernest Rieman was master of ceremonies and the mayor of Cumberland, Herman Junge, presented the prizes, t The married women's race was won by Mrs. De^an; Mrs. A. Reinken, sec- ond. Helen Rieman was first in the girls' race; Frieda Rieman, second, and Clara Rhodenbeck, third. In the young ladies' race Louise Rieman was first, and Esther Strickland, second. In the free for all race for men, John Boylan was first, and Robert Fohl, second. Norman Hukreide won first, and Carl Eisner, second, in the boys' race. There were also bowling contests and a game of baseball, in which the South Sides beat the North Sides 11 to 1. John Hartje was umpire. A picnic dinner, at 5 p. m., was served on tables profusely decorated with flowers, and at 7 p. m. all returned to their homes. Various Notes. Will Roepke and wife are spending a few days at Lake Manitou. C. R. Greene, of A. Wiegand & Sons, is back to work, after a two weeks' stay in a camp on Eagle creek. Mr. Greene says he spent most of the time trying to catch bait to fish with. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Rieman have left for an extended trip through Yel- lowstone Park and the northwest. They expect to be gone about three weeks. George Wiegand leaves this week on an auto trip, to occupy about ten days. He expects to go from here to Colum- bus, O., then to Cleveland, then across the lake to Canada, up to Toronto and back through Detroit. A number of the florists leave here next Monday night for the convention, among them being Adolph Baur, Fred Dorner, Irwin Bertermann and John Grande. H. L. W. UP-TO DATE CULTURE. [A p.iper by 11. L. Janzen, Berlin, Ont.. read this weeli before the Canadian Horticultural Association.] At this season of the year carnation growers are making preparations to house the field-grown plants. We will take for granted that the new soil to fill the benches is already on the premises and in good condition, ready to wheel in. After the old soil has been removed from the benches, see that the houses have a thor- ough cleaning, especially under raised benches, for if these are used rubbish will accumulate despite all efforts to the con- trary. Use the hose to wash out all the loose soil from between the cracks of the wood benches and from between the tiles, where brick and tile benches are used. Give the wood benches a good coat of hot whitewash on the sides and bottom, well rubbed in. On the brick and tile benches, and also on the solid brick beds, give the face brick a good coat of whitewash on the inner side and sprinkle a light coat of air-slaked lime over the bottom of the beds before refilling. Fill the benches level full and firm down well along the edges. Before beginning to plant, m^rk the beds both ways. For shading we use a light mud wash sprayed on the outside of the glass. This stays on long enough and is easily removed, if necessary, be- fore rain comes to wash it off. Benching Toung Stock. When ready to lift the plants from the field, choose a dull, quiet day, if at all possible, as the plants then suffer least from exposure. Select only the best and most shapely plants for benching, as a poor plant takes too long to round into shape for the winter season. In digging we use a four-tined fork and find this tool to be the best for that porpose, as the plants lift with a nice ball of earth at- tached if the ground is not too dry. Have plenty of flats handy to place the plants in as fast as dug and when a load of plants is ready send it along to the planters. Do not rub off too much of the soil that clings to the roots, as the plant with all, or nearly all. of the soil removed takes a great deal longer to become established in its new quarters than one lifted with a nice baU of earth attached. When planting, do not plant too deeply^ and leave a small depression around each plant. Give each plant a good watering as soon as planted and keep plenty of moisture in the house by spraying until the plants have taken hold, when the spraying can be reduced. After the plants have started to grow nicely the surface of the beds should be leveled down and all diseased and dry foliage removed. Keep up the stirring of the soil as often as needed, as it kills the small weeds and helps to keep the soil sweet. Give all the ventilation possible day and night, but avoid draughts, and watch the watering of the soil. Rather give a good, heavy watering when neces- sary than constant light sprayings. Supports and Ventilation. Whatever style of support you use, get it in place as soon as the plants are well established, as the new growth must be kept upright if you want straight stems later on. From this on it is a matter of daily attention to watering, ventilating and the innumerable little details that make for success in carnation culture. When the nights become cool enough to require fire heat, do not shut down the ventilators tight and try to make the heat in the house carry through until morning, but rather put on a line of pipe or two and leave a good, generous crack of air on, as you cannot get too much fresh air in the carnation house. Propagating. About the first part of December we take our first batch of cuttings. Give the propagating bench a good coat of hot whitewash and fill it level full of clean, sharp sand, which should be well watered and pounded down before putting in the cuttings. In pulling the cuttings select only the strongest from flowering stems. When putting the cuttings in the sand do not put them down more than three-quar- ters of an inch, with rows about an inch and a half apart, and the cuttings not too close in the rows. Water them in well and keep well shaded and sprayed for about two weeks, after which time they will not require so much water. As soon as the cuttings are rooted we plant them out on benches, the same a» the parent stock, but a great deal clcser, ! Ay^yt-' A Portion of the Indianapolis Florists on Their Outing, August 4, 1910. ^e"'! '. • '• ! i August 11, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review* 15 about four inches apart each way for the eailier propagation, and shade them slightly if the weather is sunny, avoiding (liiuights and giving them a good water- in ' as soon as planted. The young stock, 01! 16 established, should not have a high temperature, but rather one several de- oicM'S lower than the blooming plants re- ceive. fii topping the young stock we pull the tipjis out clean when the plants have oi.iwn enough to show the joints between t) I foliage. Go over the stock as often as is necessary, at least once a week. Keep ti p young plants free from weeds and the sc.l stirred occasionally. Field Culture, When the weather becomes settled in tlii spring, and all danger of frost is over, plant the young stock out into the field. Tliis should be plowed and manured dur- ing the fall and again plowed early in the spring. When ready to plant out plow up and harrow well ^ much ground as you re- quire for one day's planting, as this pre- vents the entire field from drying out be- fore planting begins. There are different methods of planting in the field, but the method which enables you to get your stock planted out in the least time is the one to use. After the stock is all planted out, keep the wneel hoe going to keep the weeds from getting ahead of you and also to supply moisture to the plants. In dry weather such as we have had this summer it is of decided advantage to the plants. When pinching back the plants in the field, go over them quite often and pinch back the longest growths, but not more than one or two at a time. If the top- ping is carefully done you will not be troubled by your plants cropping before warm weather comes in the spring. Under Glass All Summer. To those of you who have not tried in- door cultivation of carnations, try a bench or two next spring and see the ad- vantage of this method, especially as re- gards Enchantress and its sports. Of course, this method of cultivation entails a great deal more labor and closer atten- tion during the rush of spring and early summer work, but the results we think more than repay the extra labor. Ab6ut the first part of May we bench our earli- est propagated stock, taking only the best and strongest plants. These lift with a g"od ball of soil attached if the bench has hi 'en well soaked before digging. We do H'lt use any shading on these except that \\liich has been sprayed on the glass to h'ld the color of the bloom on the old pliints. These plants are handled exactly like those lifted from the field and when tl ey are well established we stir the soil On the beds at least once a week. This is absolutely necessary, as otherwise a green scum would soon form from the constant spraying and watering that is required to keep down the temperature during June and July. Before putting up the supports we rub in a good, generous sprinkling of bone meal, as it is much easier applied at this time. Cultural methods from now on are the same as for the field-grown stock. A careful record of the blooms cut from both field and indoor cultivation will show a decided gain for the indoor stock. BEST SINGLE VIOLET. What is the most profitable singlevio- let to grow? What are the characteris- tics of the Gov. Herrick violet? I know nothing of it. W. D. H. Princess of Wales stands head and shoulders above all other single violets. Governor Herrick has a fine color, but lacks odor, is short-stemmed and is not a satisfactory winter bloomer. Most of those who have tried it have discard- ed it. W. C. VIOLETS IN MUM HOUSE. Kindly inform us if we can grow vio- lets in a chrysanthemum house, and if it is too late to plant them. W. W. F. C. Violets will do well in a chrysan- themum house, provided the tempera- ture is kept to suit them. A night reading as near 40 degrees as possible should be maintained in winter. The doubles will stand 2 or 3 degrees more heat than the singles, but all do better kept as near 40 degrees as possible. D'puble violets should be housed in August; certainly not later than the middle of September, or they are lia- ble to spot badly. On the other hand, single violets must not be housed until October, or in some states the early part of November. They require some freezing before planting them indoors, to check the leaf growth. Early plant- ing means a heavy crop of foliage and few flowers. Some successful growers follow early mums with violets. It is easy to scatter a little hay over the plants if the thermometer seems likely to go too low. A temperature of 24 to 26 degrees will suffice to check the leaf growth. C. W. POT CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Some growers still plant out their bush chrysanthemums, lifting them in September. It is possible to secure fairly good plants in this way, but the foliage is poor compared with that of pot-grown plants and many shoots come blind, owing to the attacks of the chinch bugs. It means more work to grow in pots all the time, but it will pay in the end. All plants should now be in their flowering pots, and the best place for them is the side benches of a light, sunny house, where they can have abundant ventilation. Pinching should be discontinued now on all the weak and moderate growing varieties. The robust sorts can be stopped until August 20, after which no more wftrk of this kind must be done. If pinching has been carefully done, the plants will be so bushy that no staking will yet be necessary, and in many plants none will be needed at any time, especially with singles, such as Mizpah and Zeroff, which have a neat, bushy habit that we would like to see in many others of the singles. Black fly is about the only pest to be feared just now, but spraying with nicotine or any other good insecticide will soon clean it out. In hot weather the plants enjoy being sprayed over several times a day. It helps to cool the house and refreshes the plants greatly. Where the pots are well filled with roots, feeding may com- mence, but I do not favor using stimu- lants much until the buds show. Weak doses of cow-manure water, to which is added some soot, will make a good food, which will keep the foliage a rich, dark green color. Waverly, 111.— J. H. Wright has pur- chased the greenhouses of Case & Mathews, who have retired from busi- ness. Terre Haute, Ind. — N. E. Stover, for- merly connected with the Grand Rapids Greenhouse Co., of Grand Rapids, Mich., is now conducting a store here, under the firm name of N. B. & C. E. Stover. He resigned his position as manager of the flower department of the Grand Rapids concern June 2, sold his interest in the business there, and purchased the retail business of Otto Heinl, at 113 South Sixth street, in this city. He will probably erect greenhouses here later, if he finds the location entirely satisfactory.

The last batch of poinsettia cuttings should now be taken. Of course they can be rooted even a month later, but the resultant plants will be too puny to be of much value. The earliest and strongest plants are now in benches con- taining five inches of loam and have just been staked up. From these, bracts eighteen to twenty inches across will b© cut, unless something unforeseen occurs. Poinsettias will grow outdoors in a frame or in any ordinary greenhouse in summer, but they should not be planted out in any house where it is not possible to maintain a minimum temperature of 60 to 62 degrees while the bracts are developing. A lower temperature means a loss of foliage and a reduced size in the bracts. It is a little early yet to make up pans of poipsettias, as they will become too tall before they bloom. The earlier plants would better be either benched or flowered singly in 6 inch pots. Nice stock in 6-inch pots, well foliaged, is always salable, even if it is a foot taller than what is in pans. Be sure to keep cuttings potted off v/hile the roots are small. They are easily broken and seriously injured if left even a few days too long in the propagating bench. Keep close until established in the pots, then more cool and airy, in order to keep them stocky. Show Pelargoniums. The wood on show pelargoniums, after a few weeks' rest lying on their sides, should now be i>retty well ripened and of a nutty brown color. Take a sharp knife and prune back the shoots quite severely, leaving not even a couple of eyes on each. If you need more stock of any special variety and have omitted putting in cuttings, you can still do so. The shoots, even if quite firm, will root readily in a cool house. After heading back the plants, give them a little water and spray twice or thrice a day. As soon as they show signs of breaking nicely is the time to shake the soil en- tirely away from them. Cut back the long roots and place the plants in as small pots as they can conveniently be squeezed into. A plant in a 6-inch pot should go in a 4-inch, and those in 7-inch and 8-ineh in 5-inch pots. Water sparingly, not only before potting, but afterward. It is easy to cause the plants to rot off in warm weather with a little too much moisture. Spray freely, but water little until roots and shoots are growing actively. Orotons. During the dog days all tropical plants reach their maximum rate of growth. Crotons are lovers of heat and moisture and now are making rapid headway. The foliage will soon get dirty and insect pests will multiply, unless a force of water, well directed from a careful hand, is used. There is really no need of blackened, slimy leaves, such as we too often see, if the water pressure through a fine-spray nozzle is properly directed. Neither should it be possible for such pests as mealy bug or red spider to take up quarters on any of the plants. Crotons, when well rooted, enjoy weak doses of liquid manure, and we have found Clay's fertilizer scat- tered on the surface an excellent food, applied at intervals of ten days. Young plants, to keep them growing along in good shape, must have a brisk, moist heat. A first-class place for them is in a coldframe of sufficient depth, where the pots can be plunged in ashes, leaves or tan bark. Shade given should be just enough to prevent the leaves from scalding. A heavy coat will spoil the coloring of the leaves. Syringe them over and close up about the middle of the afternoon. If a brisk heat is bottled up each day the rate of growth is sur- prising, not only with crotons, but mauv other fine foliaged plants. Liliuiu Harrisil. The earliest batch of Harrisii lilies have just been potted in 5-inch pots. We are told that the percentage of diseased bulbs will this season be less than usual. It is a consummation de- voutly to be wished, for of late yciiis there has been little profit in growing them, owing to the large number of diseased bulbs. Either a coldframe— where the pots, after watering, can be covered with a light coating of dry moss or excelsior, afterwards placing board shutters over them — or the floor of a cellar, is a suitable place lo stand the pots. They should not be exposed to the sun and, if given a suitable place, ought not to require any water until growth is nicely started Too much water in the early stages of growth is productive of much of the so-called disease. North Judson, Ind. — C. C. Arnold has a fine field of gladioli, mostly America, with a few Princeps, but a great deal of watering has been necessary on ac- count of the prolonged drought. Early asters, he says, are poor. SCENTED GERANIUMS. Retail florists are finding considerable call for scented geraniums each year, not only for selling as plants, but the shoots are popular, and rightly so, for arranging in bowls. The individual leaves also find considerable favor for using in finger-bowls for dinners. One well-known grower, who makes some- thing of a specialty of scented-leaved geraniums, saves a number of plants over from his spring sales and plants several of them in boxes six inches deep, growing them outside until cold weather necessitates their removal under glass. Treated thus, fine shoots are procurable for winter use. Of course from plants outdoors whole armfuls of shoots can be had at this season, but the demand for these is light now as compared with winter. If no stock has been carried over, it is a good plan to take a good batch of cuttings now. Either place them in a north house in the sand bench, or in flats of sand in a coldframe. They will root in about three weeks, when they can be potted off; by potting along, fine, bushy stock can be had before Christmas. Cuttings taken with a heel and inclined to be hard are less liable to damp off at this season than the thick, sappy ones. GERANIUM FOLIAGE EATEN. My geranium leaves are dying, first at the base of the plant, then on up the stalk. There seem to be little transparent places eaten on the leaves, while the tissue of the leaf is left. I am unable to find any insects on the plants. The trouble is not confined to any one variety. The plants on the east side of the house are not af- fected. Those that are troubled in this way are on the north side of tiie greenhouses and the others are in the full sun. I send you a leaf that has just been blighted. The leaves st.iy green at first, but soon turn brown. Can you tell me where the trouble lie^? K. F.

The Panunia Hat. Two of the Season's Novelties in Supplies for the Retailer. NOVEL SUPPLIES. There is a resemblance, more or less striking, according to the point of view, lietween the successful collector oi flo- rists' supplies and the successful news- jiaper man. Each must study and edu- i-ate the public taste. Each must know what to take and what to leave. Each must explore and have confidence in his friends and in himself. The success- ful collector of florists' supplies collects with a definite object in view, search- ing, adapting, designing until that which is required is produced. It may come from a jeweler's, from a shoe- maker 's, or it may be made to order in the factory. Plainly stated, the problem is iiow to add to beauty of flower and plant so as to make them necessary, to overcome all barriers to their use. Of course, there are some supplies that liave nothing to do with flowers or plants, but these are unimportant. The solution of the problem is expressed in one word — taste. That which is chosen in defiance of taste may grow like a weed for a time, but it will soon be cast aside and forgotten. Taste, com- bined with originality, is essential to success in florists' supplies. M. Rice talked delightfully of his aims in novelties, of his trip abroad and of his work with our floral artists, sug- gesting many of the thoughts expressed while describing the novelties he has gathered for the coming season. The butterflies were intended to give a natural touch to a hand bouquet, for instance — the large glass butterfly on a prominent flower or leaf, its springs giving a motion quite lifelike. The smaller butterflies of satin, scattered about dainty paper bouquet holders in flower colors, are skilfully designed to adorn pretty clusters of every kind of flower. Violet shields, in purple for the singles and lavender for the doubles, add grace while protecting delicate fabrics. A novel touch that Mr. Rice has pre- pared for fashion's fancy is the lace- like paper handkerchief. The idea is that one of these dainty white or laven- der or Nile green creations be laid in each box of choice blossoms, so that the fair recipient of the gift may brush the moisture from her dainty fingers when they are arranged in bowls or vases. The corsage pins brought a look of pride to Mr. Rice's face — large glass pins of purple, handsomely mounted, seen in the Parisian jewelers' shops; modified to meet the florists' needs, yet still the most astounding pins ever of- fered for corsage bouquets. Silver will be the fashionable color next season, so silver wire ribbon has now appeared in divers widths. There are bridal scarfs, exquisite in design, of fair chiffon. Soft chenille ribbon, with tassels many colored, is a pretty nov- elty. The ribbon shelves are now graced by a real Killarney ribbon, white^ cerise-shot, giving that lovely contrast in pinks betwixt inner and outer side of petal for which Killarney is so dearly loved. This perfect match represents long striving before the result was at- tained. A practical ribbon, designed to meet the needs of a pretty and serv- iceable bow, that will fill its place with- out shrinking from moisture, has al- ready won friends. A frost-proof, water-proof parchment paper in flower colors, for wrapping, gives tone where used. Already it is being largely used, though brand-new. There are two novelties in pot covers, though in different classes. One is moss- A Useful Basket.

The other is two-colored, adjustable, a charming combination of green and soft pink. In baskets, birch twig rules the day. There are Soman bowls, high backs, gypsy kettles, and improved gathering baskets of most pleasing design, with high, irregular handles. In front of these, their dainty forms in striking contrast to the rugged, dark birchesj are the Italian novelty baskets of deli- cate straw, for favors, looking as though the very sight of them would suggest daisies and peas to come. Nearby are green raflBa baskets, beautifully woven, and on a shelf across the aisle are wooden Swiss toys, water buckets and the like, for favors. Last, but by no means least, are improved wall pockets designed ut Edward Habermehl's sug- gestion, after much planning — a good thing, surely. P. S. — Many letters have postscripts.

I have a house of roses which were planted last year, and which have done well. Now I wish to dry them up and give them a rest for winter blooming. Please tell me how to treat them and how and when to prune them. Will raw bone and cow manure be sufficient as fertilizers? How many years will they be profitable? The varieties are Bride, Maid, Golden Gate, Killarney and a few Richmond. I am located in Ken- tucky. G. O. K. The querist does not say whether his roses are on table or on solid benches. I presume they are on table benches, with the usual depth, five inches, of soil. In order to ripen them, begin at once to gradually diminish the supply of water and continue this for at least three weeks. If the weather is bright, however, great care must be taken never to let them become so dry that even the softest of the wood will wilt. During this process, syringing must be resorted to frequently to keep spider in check, and plenty of ventilation must be given both night and day. Prune out all the small, strawy wood. Cut back the strong shoots to three eyes, bend them down to almost right angles and tie them there. This will encourage the dormant eyes near the base to break. It is also well to re- move as much of the top soil as can be taken without disturbing the roots. Then give the surface a sprinkling of air-slaked lime and fill up the bench with a compost consisting of two parts decomposed cow manure and one part turfy loam. Give the bench a thorough soaking and keep the house cool and moist for a week, using the syringe freely during bright weather. Raw bone flour is an excellent fertil- izer. This can be sprinkled over the surface of the soil and stirred in from time to time, but it must never be used in combination with lime. Cow ma- nure can be used as a mulch, of which a thickness of one inch is sufficient at any time. Or the manure can be used in the liquid form; in this form it is easily assimilated and therefore quicker in action. By carefully treating these varieties in this way, they can be grown profit- ably for years. I recently visited a place in Pennsylvania where some of the plants were 9 years old, and they were bearing profusely. They were on solid benches. Ribes. BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS. A dry summer is not the best for transplanting young seedlings to the open ground. If biennials, such as digitalis, Canterbury bells, etc., are still in the seed beds, advantage should be taken of the first spell of cool, moist weather to get them out. Allow the plants nine inches in the rows. If the rows are twenty-four inches apart they can be conveniently stirred with a hand cultivator. Perennials, such as aquilegias, Chinese larkspurs and others of more moderate growth, can go much closer in the rows. August and September are the months par excellence for these plants to make their growth, and if given a piece of land well loosened up by the harrow they will grow fast. BOTTOM HEAT FOE PALM SEED. Would it be injurious to kentia seeds to give them a bottom heat of between 90 and 100 degrees? E. N. Kentia seeds will endure a bottom heat of 90 degrees without special in- jury, though so high a temperature is not really needed to ensure their ger- mination and such a temperature is likely to make the seedlings rather long and spindly. In addition to this the seedlings are liable to feel the check more at the time they are potted off than would be the case when grown at a somewhat lower temperature. A bottom heat of 80 degrees is sulii- ciently high, and they are frequently germinated at a lower average temper- ature than that. W. H. T. HTDBANGEAS. Where hydrangeas are growing in the field they may be suffering from dryness at the root, in which case, if they are beyond the reach of the hose, they should be watered. Draw a ring around each plant, or a channel along each row, and fill it with water. With a barrel and -watering pot the work will not oc- cupy long. Push back the dry soil and keep the ground well stirred. This is vastly more beneficial to the plants than playing the surface soil and baking it hard, little moisture reaching the roots. Plants being grown on in pots will take up a lot of water in hot, dry weather, and several sprayings overhead daily should be given to keep them from wilt- ing. Late rooted stock in 3-inch pots will take a shift to 5-inch pots, and fill these with roots before fall. Use a mod- erately heavy and rich loam, as hy- drangeas are strong feeders. OBITUARY. L. B. Fuller. Luther R. Fuller, of Shelburne Falls, Mass., died August 1 at his home on Green street, where he had been en- gaged in the florists' trade for twelve years. He was 66 years of age and had been in poor health for two years or more. He was a past grand of the Alethian lodge of Odd Fellows. Forty- one years ago he married Miss Mary Chapin, of Ashfield. He is survived by his wife, a daughter, Mrs. Ethel John- son, who lives at home, and two sons, Edward W. Fuller, of San Francisco, Cal., and Julian Fuller, of Ashland, N. H. CINCINNATI. Tlie Market. There is surely a sufficiency of stock in the market. That which really is good sells readily, while the buyers hcs itate as they view the other grades. The prices, as is usual when there an gluts, are in inverse ratio to the sup ply. Roses sell quickly. The Beauties, M.- Maryland, Taft and Kaiserin- are oi excellent quality. There still are soni'' light receipts of carnations, but tin blooms are small. Gladioli and h.^ drangeas are accumulating, the formt: because of the many large consigi^ ments and the latter because the d< mand has shifted to white asters. Ea- ter lilies, auratums, speciosums an i nymphseas are offered. A few cattleyn are arriving. Asters are everywhere, with fev sales to take them up. The really good stock is cleaned up at fair prices, whih the ordinary grades do not move at all. Tne green goods market is quiet. On to Bochester.

Vestrich was ■elected to membership. The club unani- mously accepted Frank Voltz's invita- tionl to hold the next meeting at his homo on Dina avenue, Cheviot. A visit to Max Rudolph's green- liouse plant at College Hill showed everything there to be spick and span. The roses, mostly Brides, Maids and Killarney, show a good, healthy growth and fairly good blooms are being cut. Onlv one more house in the carnation F. R Michell. (Assistant Manairer Trial Grounds.) section remained to be planted and that is undoubtedly finished by this time. Mr. Rudolph has planted the following carnations: White Perfection, Bounti- ful, Shasta, White Enchantress, En- chantress, Pose-pink Enchantress, Aris- tocrat, O. P. Bassett, Victory and Bea- con. He is cutting a fine crop of Golden Glow mums. Wm. Murphy has some excellent longi- florums and dahlias. Heller Bros., New Castle, are send- ing excellent Beauties to E. G. Gillett. C. E. Critchell is handling large quan- tities of asters and gladioli. He also has orchids, new leucothoe and a few Golden Glow mums. J. A. Peterson is one of the few local growers who have been successful enough with their asters to have them in any quantity. P.

All the planting at Mr. dinger's green- houses has been finished. Advices from Arthur Becker, at Los Angeles, state that he has visited sev- eral of the flower stores and nurseries. He writes that the flowers offered there are about the same as we have. Wm. Gardner, of New Castle, and his father, of London, Ont., were in town last week. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bruggemann spent last week at John Jennings' camp at Sweetwine, on the Ohio. He says that they had six hand lines and two trot lines in the water, and with this tackle managed to catch nearly fish enough every day for dinner. Mrs. Henry Schwarz is spending sev- eral weeks on a visit at Marietta, O. Miss Laura Steigler, at Geo. Magrie's, will take a trip that will last a few weeks, through southern Kentucky. C. P.

Michell, Jr. (Assistant Manac^er of Michell Co.) heavy consignor of asters to this mar- ket and expects to consign mums to C. E. Critchell later in the year. C. H. H. THE HOUSE OF MICHELL. The group of portraits on this page is the first ever published showing the members of the seed house of Michell. The pictures include the founder, to whose untiring energy and ability the house owes its present strength; his brother, whose fortunes have been linked with the house almost from the first and who has contributed so much to the success; the hope of the house, whose business career has commenced so auspiciously. There are only five faces in the picture, but as each one of us gazes at it many more rise before the mental view — some dark, some fair, some young, some older — all have helped to make the house of Michell what it is today.

Cut back the strong shoots to three eyes, bend them down to almost right angles and tie them there. This will encourage the dormant eyes near the base to break. It is also well to re- move as much of the top soil as can be taken without disturbing the roots. Then give the surface a sprinkling of air slaked lime and fill up the bench with a com])Ost consisting of two parts decomposed cow manure and one part turfy loam. Give tlie bench a thorcuigh soaking and keep tiie house cool and moist for a week, using the syringe I'rccdy during ])right weather. Raw bone flour is an excellent fertil- izer. This can be sprinkled over the surface of the soil and stirred in from time to time. })ut it must ne\er be used in combination with lime. Cow ma- nure can be used as a mulcdi. of which a thickness of one inch is sufhcient at an_\- time. Or the manure c;in be used in the li(piid form; in this form it is easily assimilated and therefoie quicker in action. By carefully tre;iting these \arieties in this way, they can be grown |)rofit- ably for years. I recently visited a ]dace in Pennsylvania where some of the i)lants were 9 years old, and they were bearing iirofusely. They were on solid benches. Ribes. BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS. A dry summer is not the best for transplanting yf)ung seedlings to the open ground. If biennials, such as digitalis, Canterbury bells, etc., are still in the seed beds, advantage should be taken of the first spell of cool, moist weather to get them out. Allow the plants nine inches in the rows. If the rows are twenty-four inches apart they <'an be conveniently stirred with a hand culfixator. Perennials, sucti as aquilegias, Chinese larkspurs and others of more moderate growth, can go much closer in the rows. .\ugust and September are the months i)ar e.xcellence for these jilants to make their growth, and if given a piece of land well loosened up by the harrow they will grow fast. BOTTOM HEAT FOR PALM SEED. Would it bo injurifuis to kentia seeds to give them a bottom h(>at of between !t() and PX) degrees? E. N. Kentia seeds will enduK a bottom lieat of On degrees without special in- ,iiii\. though so high ;i temperature is not I'e.'illy need(>d to ensure their ger- tninatifui and such a temperature is likt'ly to make the seeillings rati r long and spindlv. In addition to ti , the seedlings are liable to fe(d the clu 1^ more at the time they are potted f than would be tlie case when grown t a somewhat lower temi>erature. A bottom heat of Sti degrees is sii ■- ciently high, and they are frequiMM \- germinated at a lower a\erage ten ature than that. W. H. 'J'. HYDRANGEAS. Where hydrangeas are growing in lir field they may be suffering from clryne-s at the root, in which ease, if they aie beyond the reach of the hose, th. y should lie watered. Draw a ring around each plant, or a channel along each row, and fill it with water. With a barrel and watering pot the work will not oi - cupy long, i'lish back the dry soil and keej) the ground well stirred. This is vastly more beneficial to the [dants thiiu ]>laying the surface soil and baking it hard, little moisture reacliiug the root-. Plants being grown on in jiots will taki! up a lot of water in hot. dry weather, and several sprayings overhead dailv should be given to keep them from wilt- ing, liate rooted sto(dv in .".-inch pot^^ will take a shift to niiich peas. ;iud till these with roots before fall.

Y., August 16 to 19. 1910. Results bring advertising. The Eeview brings results. Some people say that Latania Borbon- iea is "coming back," but others think it will, like other old favorites, get no farther than Keno. F. Dorner & Sons Co., La Fayette, Ind., will send out two new carnations in 1911, Gloriosa, bright pink, and "White Wonder, a seedling of White Perfection. This is not The Eeview 's special num- ber; this one is all in the day's work. The convention special comes out next week, with a full report of the Eochester meeting. The Chicago Florists' Club has voted to invite the S. A. F. to hold its next convention in that city. The single dis- advantage under which Chicago labors is that a hall for the trades' display will cost as much as the entire expense of the convention in smaller cities. CONVENTION NOTES. The secretary has received notice from the St. Louis Florists' Club that an invitation will be extended the so- ciety to hold its 1911 meeting in St. Louis. Badges have been mailed to all mem- bers who have paid their dues. Do not forget to bring them to the convention, as two badges will not be issued on one receipt. From the reports and letters received, the attendance at the coming conven- tion promises to be the largest in the history of the society. A. L. Miller, vice-president from eastern New York, says that about 200 from New York city will attend the meeting. The executive board recommends that the society hold a special meeting at the time of the National Flower Show in Boston. H. B. Dorner, Sec'y. SWEET PEA SOCIETY. There will be a meeting of the Na- tional Sweet Pea Society of America at Rochester at 9 a. m. (place an- nounced later), August 18. This is in response to a request from the secretary of the S. A. F. to such societies as wish to hold a meeting at the annual convention in Eochester, and is in accordance with the resolution passed by the executive committee of the S. A. F. at its spring meeting.

Many factors have influenced adver tisers, but it is coming to be more and more general that their advertisements are placed in accordance with the re- sults obtained: We are glad to acknowledge that we have had far more satisfactory results from The Review than from any other method of advertising. — C. G. James & Sou, Homell, N. Y., August 1, 1910. Sold entirely out; Review ads do the work. — D. G. Grillbortzer, Alexandria, Va., August 1, 1910.

The big Special Convention Number of The Review comes out next week. Advertisers must send copy promptly or be left. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. The ups and downs have been less pronounced in the last seven days than they were in the fortnight preceding; the demand has been fairly constant and has amounted to a volume sufficient to make an excellent midsummer week. Shipping trade is heavier this summer than it ever has been before, and locally there is always funeral work, with this week some special demand because of the visit of the Knights Templar. There has been a marked increase in the supply of asters, but not much change otherwise in market conditions. While the cut of asters is several times as great as a week ago, by far the greater part of the stock still is of such poor quality that it has little value. Even those growers who have irrigated their aster patches find their stock not up to the quality they expected. With those who have had no water the blooms are so poor that many are un- salable. With only a fraction of the receipts coming up to the requirements of the better class stores, it is natural that really good asters should be bring- ing excellent prices, for there are not enough of these to go around. There is an abundance of the medium grade AUGUST 11, 1910.

Beauties are possibly a little more plentiful than a week ago. The qual- ity in many cases is excellent, consid- ering that these are August Beauties. The call for roses is not (juite so in- sistent as it Avas when asters were less plentiful. There now are plenty of roses for all requirements, but in many houses the receipts are all short- stemmed. The stock coming in is cut from young plants; the old plants are in process of being dried oflf. Those growers who are running houses spe- cially for the production of summer roses are cutting good stock, find it sells well and at fair prices. Killarney and My Maryland continue to lead the pinks, with White Killarney more abundant than Kaiserin, but not so well liked. Bride and Maid are little seen. Gladioli, as well as asters, show the effect of drought. The common sorts are poor and extremely hard to sell. America and Mrs. Francis King, with a few others of decided color, sell well. Probably more Augusta are seen than any other one variety. It is an ex- tremely useful gladiolus, but the price has fallen because of its overabun- dance. The demand for Easter lilies is erratic; some days they sell well and otner days there is no call whatever. There are so many Easter lilies in the market that auratum ig not faring well. A few extremely short-stemmed sweet peas still come in. Cattlej^as are scarce. Valley is in better supply than a week ago. Summer flowers sell slowly. The green goods market is quiet.

Mr. Keimol states that the third Notice Our business is iucroasing so stead- ily, and so rapidly, that we are constantly in position to handle to advantage additional consignments of first-class stock.

The week following they cut more roses, but received a trifle less money, the two weeks combining to make the largest fortnight's sales in their his- tory, only excepting last Christmas. During the last half of .July they had three houses more glass than at Christ- mas time, but some of the old plants were in process of drying off and the principal cut was from the young stock. In confirmation of the report, Mr. Keimel shows the statements of E. C. Amling, who is the firm's selling agent. Club Meeting. At its meeting August 4 the Chicago Florists' Club adopted resolutions in- viting the S. A. F. to hold its next con- vention in Chicago. The meeting was exceptionally well attended, a number of members being present whose faces seldom are seen at the club, attracted by the oppor- tunity of voting to extend an invita- tion to the S. A. F. E. F. Winterson, chairman of the transportation commit- tee, reported that the special train to Rochester will depend on having at least sixty people, and of those present thirteen declared their intention of APHINE'S Increasing Popularity As a general insecticide for destroy- ing greenhouse and outdoor pests Is due to the hearty endorse- ments of the many expert floriculturists who have fully tested Aphine and have not found it wanting.

So far August business has been fully as good as could be expected — a little better, on the whole, than a year ago, although some growers are prone to say each summer is a little worse than its immediate predecessor. Roses are somewhat improved in quality since we had a cessation of extreme heat. Some nice Beauties still are seen. Kai- serin is exceptionally good, while White Killarney and My Maryland are of fair quality for August. Carnations are poor and rapidly nearing the end. A few decent flowers are seen, but the majority are of little value. Asters are more abundant. They are still mostly Queen of the Earlies. Small lots only of the Comet or Ostrich Plume section are seen. These take the place of carnations in design work. Sweet peas are, except in rare cases, of poor quality. Double gypsophila still is seen. Demand for valley is light, while cosmos sells slowly. Gladioli from outdoors are more numerous and move more slowly. Lilium longiflorum, L. auratum and L. speciosum . all are plentiful, but none of them is in much demand. A few gardenias still come in, but there is no great demand for them, any more than for cattleyas, 26 The Weekly Florists' Review* August 11, 1910.

A small supply of good stock suffices for a small de- mand. A large supply of poor flowers brings little money. The good flowers include some Beauties, cattleyas, Eas- ter lilies, valley, Kaiserins, Marylands and a few asters and gladioli— few in proportion to the number coming into the market. There are also some ex- cellent sweet peas. The large quantity of poor flowers are either unsalable or bring low prices and make conditions unsatisfactory. The welcome rain of Monday, the first real rain for a long time, will do lots of good to outdoor flowers. A Eeal Estate Boom. The West Philadelphia real estate market has been extraordinarily active, even for West Philadelphia, for a month past. Eumors of purchases for the Wabash, for department stores, for apartment houses, were everywhere in the neighborhood of Fifty-second and Market streets. Reliable information seems to show that 252 properties changed hands, involving an immense sum of money. The deals included the Market street front of the Robert Craig Co., reaching from Forty-ninth to Fiftieth streets, 500 feet front by 214 feet deep, one-half their original prop- erty. Of the other half, half, or a quar- ter of the whole, was sold some time ago, leaving the balance free. The terms of the sale require that the Robert Craig Co. be given five months' notice to move the greenhouses. Such notice must be given between February 15 and July 15. When the notice is given the company will probably fill the re- maining quarter of their property with greenhouses and office, removing the balance of the plant to the new place at Norwood. Jacob Becker's stores at Fifty-second and Market streets were also affected. but although extraordinary prices have been offered, it is believed they have been declined. Ehret's Ploral Arcadia. One of our thoughtful wholesalers had just been arguing that the market would be greatly improved if the retailer would take a chance and carry enough stock to show their customers. "How, he urged, can a man sell a motor or a horse if he has no motor or horse to show anybody who calls at his place of business? It is just the same with flowers; people want to see what they are buying. You won't find any flowers in many of the retail shops today." This is certainly true; many of the retailers feel that it is simply wasting flowers to display them in midsummer, especially in these day of telephones. Knowing that Fred Ehret is progress- ive and that his business is profitable even during summer, Phil dropped in at Mr. Ehret's Floral Arcadia to see what was doing. The windows in both shops were filled with restful green; those Bible-story pieces of pottery were there, fern filled. In the ice-box there was an excellent assortment of hi^h- grade stock. Ivory, considered by ^tr- Ehret as better than Kaiserin in sum- mer, and Golden Gate, another desir- able summer variety, Killamey aud many other roses, besides a general iS" sortment of good stock, gave the pi; ce an air of business. On one side of the store Mrs. Ehret was making up & large design, with two assistants st»'m- ming flowers, while nearby two ot! er designs, prettily arranged, showed how some of the flowers were used. Wl en asked whether it paid to carry so lag* a stock, Mr. Ehret replied, " Certain. y; if you don't have flowers you canr.ot do business."

The I 1ms are in tiptop condition — not sur- I ising; you expect it, because they are "'an. Cleanliness is the key to health '" plant life. Charles D. Ball has grown 1 Ims for many years — grown them so ^ 'U that his reputation i» national — '' 'd he has grown them so constantly ^ at many critical buyers depend upon ' m for some fine stock. His kentias in •• ith varieties fill many large houses, >'^''.d both single specimens and made-up !^ I ants in large and medium sizes are • vcellent. He especially prides himself 7" his making up, experience showing .i"st what styles and sizes of kentias ^'ombine most advantageously. In the snialler sizes he is strong, while the seed beds sown in June are already encour- agingly green with healthv young leaf spears. While speaking of seed, Mr. Ball com- mented on the superiority of Brazilian Latania Borbonica seed. It took years to find out that the Cuban seed of this palm could not produce vigorous stock, with broad, sturdy leaves, but now he is satisfied on this point and all his latania seed this year is and henceforth will be from Brazil. He is an enthusiastic areca grower — his plants proved it. Cocos Weddelliana looked thrifty. Nice Phoenix Eoebelenii were there, but Mr. Ball is not quite sure that there may not be some eleemosynary business here. There were many ferns in thumb pots, and in flats ready for potting, and several other good things. Ardisia creuulata was particularly pleasing, with a surprising number of berries on each 6-inch plant. Mr. Ball keeps his place in good re- pair. A house thirty-one years old is producing as fine stock today as one could wish to see. A Hitchings boiler used for the same length of time has just been retired. The hot water Ex- pansion tanks, similar to stand pipes, have just been lowered to reduce the pressure. • The Plants at Craig's. Eobert A. Craig favored me with a pre-convention peep into the houses, add- ing many facts of interest about his pets. The cyclamens are fine; a new size, 8-inch, will be reached at Christ- mas. The stock is large, showing cul- ture in every stage of advancement. The begonias are grown in almost fabu- lous numbers, in all the types, in from 2 14 -inch to 6-inch pots. The quality equals last year's high standard. Poin- settias have taken a leap. The propa- gation mastered, stock is being manu- factured in extraordinary quantity, that bids fair to wipe out the annual shortage in this market. Both singles and doubles are grown, also some for cutting. Crotons are on the increase, Norwood taking the stock when propa- gated and returning it when finished. The stock is beautifully colored. The thousand and one seedlings are all aimed at improvement on the broader- leaved French lines. Ficus pandurata is exceedingly well grown. Single stems predominate, but there is an increasing number of branched specimens. The object in ferns is to have every size of every variety every day in the year. Of course, I mean nephrolepis. The big demand swept the last part of the standard away in May and June, Now there is an immense stock of ten of the best kinds. Areca lutescens has been taken up on account of the seed shortage and be- cause it thrives in their heavy soil. A big lot of 6-inch and 8-inch were in flourishing condition. Dracaena amabilis, Drac£ena Massangeana, Phoenix Eoe- belenii and Pandanus utilis were each well represented by good sized blocks of pretty stock. Various Notes. Eobert Greenlaw, late with N. F.

On Friday, August 5, there was a great scarcity of florists and their families in D-etroit, because the most of them were at Bois Blanc island for the club's annual outing or picnic. The majority of the florists took the morning boat, making a whole day's pleasure of it. Those less for- tunate in being able to get away went down on the afternoon boat. The many games were participated in by all the members in their turn. Liberal prizes were awarded and won, as follows: Girls' race, 12 or nnder, Mildred Mills, first; Margarette Cary, second.

The Market, At this season of the year it seems to be more of a task than a pleasure to receive orders, as the supply of choice stock is unusually limited. It is often remarked, "If it were not for lilies, what would we do with our summer funeral orders?" Many lilies, such as auratum, Melpomene and giganteum, are extensively grown by many of our florists, and they appear to be quite the thing, as lilies take well, no matter what the occasion for which they are used. There are but few carnations on the market, and the quality of these few is not worthy of comment, but better days are coming for the carna- | HENRY N. ROBINSON it CO.

Some pretty good buds are coming in from the young plants, but with short stems; nevertheless, they work in to good ad- vantage in designing. Not many of the florists are growing more than a small quantity of asters this year, as past experience has taught them to be cautious, as so many of the gardeners throughout the country bring them in and sell them at lower prices than are profitable for the florists. This also holds true with gladioli, which can be picked up on the market at $2 per hundred. Funeral work is practically the only thing that keeps business up and stock on the move, but there has ' been quite a satisfactory demand alon^; this line. Weather conditions last week were favorable. Various Notes. George Bartholomew entertained hi? growers, their wives and families al a picnic, August 7, at the National Military Home.

The Schmaus brothers, florists at Pa- ducah, Ky., visited St. Louis in their automobile. After spending a few days here, they returned home. In looking through the downtown seed houses, we find them taking ad- vantage of the dull season by reno- vating their establishments. Henry Schisler, of the Schisler Grain Co., is in Chicago this week, attending the Knights Templar conclave. Cornell Bros, are now proprietors of the Schisler-Corneli Seed Co. The St. Louis Seed Co., the Plant Seed Co., the Tinsley Seed Co. and D. I. Bushnell & Co, are all making prepa- rations for a busy fall season. The staff of the city forester's of- fice say they are having a great deal of trouble with the evergreen bag- worm, which is denuding the city's trees, and have found as many as 1,000 cocoons on one tree. They have a machine which scatters an arsenical solution, which can spray 100 trees a day, but up to date have been unsuc- cessful in destroying any of the bag- worms with this solution. The depart- ment is now looking for something more powerful to destroy them. The seventh annual meeting of the American Apple Growers' Association will be held this week at the Planters hotel. The directors of the Missouri Botanical Garden have invited all the members, including the florists, nurs- erymen and gardeners of the city, to the Henry Shaw banquet, which takes place Thursday night at the Southern hotel.

Pres.. E. L. Page, Greene. N. Y. ; First Vice-pres., L. H. Vaughan, Chicago; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O. Later reports do not make the onion seed crop prospects quite as good as earlier accounts. F. B. King, president of Mandeville & King Co., Rochester, is on a fishing trip through Georgian bay. Robert Fulton, of Henry & I^ee, New York, is in Japan superintending the shipment of the longiflorums. Henry A. Salzer and family, La Crosse, Wis., are spending the summer in a cottage at Lake Oconomowoc. The Connecticut growers of sweet corn for seed say the present condition of the crop is rather above the average. The pea crop in England is described as ' ' even worse than in 1909. ' ' That fits here, only with us it is very much worse. Some of the longiflorum bulbs are on the way. As with Harrisii and Dutch bulbs, they will be in earlier than usual this season. W. R. French, who for a quarter of a century has handled seeds in connection with hides at Waterloo, la., will retire from active business. He has sold his stock and good will to N. J. Berkley, who has dealt in the same lines. The sweet pea novelty of the year in England surely was not named with a view to catchiness; they call it Stirling Stent! The color is described as an orange vermilion shade. It will be sent out by E. W. King & Co., Coggeshall, Essex. The beau crops are spotty. Some fields look well, while others will turn out almost a total failure. As a result, the trade must needs have a report on each individual planting; there can be no such thing as figuring on average de- liveries. The pea growers are up in the air; they are reluctant even to make a guess as to the percentage of deliveries.

In spite of a shrinkage of 224,000,000 bushels in the indicated yield of corn, the government crop report as of August 1, made public August 8, was regarded as distinctly favorable. The report showed a condition figure only- six points below the condition July 1, when crop killers had been busy almost the whole month. A surprise was the reduction in the condition of the Ne braska corn crop, as it was not believed the crop in that state had been much injured. The government made the loss of condition in Nebraska greater than in Kansas, and with the excep- tion of Oklahoma the loss in the former state was the greatest of any one of the corn states.

At Chicago the spring was extremely cold, followed by severe and prolonged drought; harvesting began last week and the estimate is that the district will give little more than half a crop. In the Ohio district almost the opposite condition prevailed; the season was too wet, but the crop is light. At Louis- ville, where operations are a number of days earlier than in other onion set districts, the harvest has shown a fall- ing off from earlier estimates, which were not for large yield. The western crops average better than the others, but are too small in acreage to cut much figure. FRENCH BULBS ABBIVE.

GROWINQ SEED BEANS. The present crop of seed beans is in more or less jeopardy, which makes timely the following extract from a manuscript by W. W. Tracy, of which B. T. Galloway, chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, in transmitting it to the Department of Agriculture for pub- lication said: "Dr. Tracy is recog- nized by the American seed trade as an authority on all matters relating to the nomenclature, growing, harvesting and handling of vegetable seeds. This paper is based on the author's personal experience in this field of activity. ' ' The bean plant, says Dr. Tracy, particularly if it be one of our gar- den varieties, is exceedingly sensitive to unfavorable conditions of heat and moisture. If the soil is damp, but not quite moist enough to secure good ger- mination, the seed will malt or sprout and die; if it is only a little too wet the seed will germinate, but die with- out expanding its true leaves. Young bean plants would be killed or permanently dwarfed by a drench- ing rain which would have no perma- nent effect upon a young plant of corn. m: n ■ n H n m u m n m n ■ n m u m n ■ n m n m n m n m n m D m n n ■ n ■ n m 0 m n m n m u m n m n m n m u m^'i .V«, vv a q M a n n M a n n M n m n M n m n V n H n ■ n H n X n m n m n M n fl a n a n a < i M a fl a « n d a K D V >v MlfiNONETTE Boddington's Majesty The finest of all the fancy varieties of Mitmonette for Winter forcing; seed saved from select spikes under glass.

In view of the fact that crop is shorter than last year, we advise those who have not already ordered to lose no time doing so. Last year we were not able to meet the deii>and for our selected Harrisii on late orders. At present we have a good supply, and will be able to take care of early orders ; but there should be no delay in ordering, as there is sure to be a scarcity of good stock especially in the large sizes. We offer selected stock of the original true Harrisii for early forcing, grown from the original true stock — splendid stock for early forcing, for which purpose Harrisii is so valuable. Our stock is not picked np indiscriminately from different sources, but is grown from one stock, and will be found very superior to the ordinary Harrisii usually ottered, both in regard to freedom from disease and purity, and not the late type now so often furnished. 6 to 7-liioIi bulba, 850 to tbe case, $17.50 per oaae; leaa quantltias, $ 6.00 par 100. 7 to 9-lnoh bulbs, 20U to tbe case. 18.00 per case; less quantlttes, 10.00 per 100. 9 to 11-inob bulbs, 100 to tbe case, SO.OO per case; less quantities, 25.00 per 100.

If, when the plants are in flower, the supply of moisture is shortened, either by drought or by injury to the roots through too close or too deep cultiva- tion, so that the plants wilt, be it ever so little, the pods will fail to fill, and it is very seldom that the later-matur- ing pods on the plant will be any bet- ter, even if more favorable conditions bring out an abundant bloom. From the starting of the seed into growth to the storage of the ripened grain, beans are exceedingly sensitive to unfavorable conditions of moisture. In spite of this, seed beans will often prove a profitable farm crop on good land anywhere in the United States north of latitude 40 or 41 degrees and east of the Dakotas. South of latitude 41 degrees beans are so liable to in- jury by the bean weevil, and in much of the country west of central Wiscon- sin the crop is so likely to be cut off by dry, hot winds at the time the plants are in flower, that seed beans are rarely profitable for many suc- cessive seasons, though some fine crops of seed beans have been grown in Minnesota and the Dakotas. Seed of Lima beans, as well as of pole varieties of garden beans, can be very profitably grown along the west- ern coast of California, where the night ■winds from the ocean furnish the nec- essary moisture and the crop seldom suffers from drenching rains. Of late years seed of garden bush beans has also been grown to some extent in northern California, where there is less liability to disease than in the bean- growing sections of the east, but, in general, California crops are grown on farms wholly devoted to growing seed, rather than as a part of the regular rotation of mixed farming. Soil and Climate. Garden beans have developed into many quite distinct varieties adapted to different soils, and it is quite essen- tial to their profitable culture as a seed crop that one plant the sorts best suit- ed to his particular soil conditions. This can only be learned through test plantings of the different sorts.

Mention The hevlew when you write. It will generally be found that varie- ties with thick, fleshy pods, like the Valentine, do best on rich clay soils and are apt to fail on light sandy ones, where such sorts as the Long Yellow, which rarely succeeds on clay soil, would give their best crops. Gen- erally the large, wax-podded sorts, like Kidney Wax, give their best returns on rich black lands, where the flat, green-podded sorts would be apt to run to vine, with small return of seed. Most of the wax-podded sorts, particularly those with fleshy pods, require rich, strong, moist soils, while the smaller, flat, green-podded sorts will often give good returns on light, warm, sandy soils on which other kinds would do poorly. Conditions of soil and climate often greatly modify the character of bean plants, particularly as to the size and smoothness of the leaves and the size, fleshiness and color of the green pods and beans. The relative size and color of the dry seed are very largely af- fected by the climatic conditions at the time of ripening, but differiences in these respects, even when they are con- tinued for several seasons, are not transmitted in any appreciable degree through the seed. Location of Bean Crops for Seed. Lima and other pole beans grown without poles in southern California for many generations take to poles as well and mature as early as the same sorts grown on poles in Connecticut. Certain diseases, such as anthracnose and rust, are often carried in the seed, and there is great practical advantage .in the use of seed which is the product of healthy plants. STOKES' SEED STORE.

At present they range from $1.30 to $2.30 a bushel for the sorts which are most easily grown and thrashed, and from $1.50 to $2.50 for those which require greater care and labor. Prices for growing Lima and pole beans range from $2.75 to $4 a bushel. The unit of measurement in farmers' contracts for growing beans is usually a nominal bushel of sufficient weight to li'ive sixty pounds after all cleaning ■iiid hand picking necessary to make the 'loans fit for seedsmen's use. There is, li-'wever, a diflference, sometimes a nounting to from five to ten per cent, ii the actual weight of the same bulk "' equally clean and well cured lots of J iTerent varieties. Minimum Acceptable Viability. The minimum percentage of viability a cepted by seedsmen on growing con- '^■icts varies somewhat in different sea- '^ ns and with different varieties of 'I ans, and runs from eighty to ninety- ^^e per cent. There is less excuse for ^'iriation in the percentage of accept- able viability with beans than with ':-rn, for beans usually grow as well the sf'cond season as the first, and a large proportion of the beans which are not y^able will be removed in hand clean- Their appearance is an important factor in determining the acceptability "f beans, and any distinct stain or dis- coloration on as many as eight or ten Pf r cent of the beans justifies their re- .l^ction, even if they be of high via- bility.

What treatment do they require in the state of Michigan? H. H. G. These charming bulbous flowers would not prove reliably hardy in your state. It is true that you could plant them quite late in a well drained and shel- tered piece of ground, mulch them well and probably many might live. They would, however, flower disappointingly. At the time they would open we usu- ally get some hot and dry weather, and these conditions they do not like. I have seen some fair anemones grown Wm. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co.

LOUIS, MO* Mention The Rpvipw whpn vmi write near the northern Atlantic seaboard, but poor as compared with what we find in Europe. The Pacific coast states should, however, be able to grow these much better. The best way for you to grow these anemones would be either planted out in a coldframe, or in flats containing five inches of soil. They also do well in a bench in a cold greenhouse, where a temperature suitable for violets, 40 to 42 degrees at night, is kept in winter. They like good drainage and a light, rather rich soil, to which plenty of sand has been added. The cut flowers of these anemones are popular in all the big flower centers and are eagerly bought up by the up-to-date stores. They last remarkably well in a cut state. The variety of A. coronaria named The Bride is of a beautiful pure white color. These anemones will not stand forcing at all. C.

The Manetti stocks are not a good crop in England this season. John T. Withers, Jersey City, N. J., has returned from his trip around the world. The Sou,thwestem Nursery Co., of Troy, O., has increased its capital stock from $10,000 to $25,000. William A. Peterson, proprietor of Peterson Nursery, Chicago, is on an auto- mobile tour of New England. He is ac- companied by Mrs. Pete.rsqp, their oldest boy, and some friends. ' , , i NOT A CONSOLIDATION. A daily newspaper recently contained the announcement that Harry G. Patten, son of C. G. Patten, the veteran nursery- man of Charles City, la., had taken charge of the field work of the Sherman Nursery Co., at the same city. Added to this announcement was the assertion that ' * this virtually means a merging of the two firms. Patten & Son and the Sherman Nursery Co., the total area of whose combined nurseries is 1,400 acres. ' * When this report was submitted to E. M. Sherman, president of the Sherman Nursery Co., he made the following statement to The Review: "The report referred to is only true in part. The facts are that H. G, Patten has with- drawn from the business management of the firm of C. G. Patten & Son, but still retains his interest in the orchards be- longing to that firm, and has accepted a position as superintendent of the grounds of our nursery. E. C. Patten, a younger son of C. G. Patten, has as- sumed charge of the ofSce business of C. G. Patten & Son." TEST ON EOSE PLANT DUTY. Under the new tariff law the duty on rose plants is 4 cents each, but the duty on Manetti multiflora or briar roses is only $1 per thousand. An im- portation by L. Gillier & Co., New York, consisted of roses classified by the collector under the provision in paragraph 264, tariff act of 1909, for "rose plants budded, grafted, or grown on their own roots," tut by the importer claimed to be dutiable under the provision in the same paragraph for "Manetti multiflora and briar A BLUE ROSE The Greatest Rose Novelty of the Century It ;f lowered ^tiilus t|^^, rea- son and was greatly admired.

In his decision Waite, general ap- praiser, said: "Considerable testimony of men who appear to be well posted in the growth of rose plants was taken in this case, and we think it clearly appears from this testimony that the budding or grafting of the plants in question had failed from some cause or other, and the goods as imported were simply the plants of the multiflora and should have been so assessed." EVILS OF THE REPLACE POLICY. [A paper read by J. R. Maybew, of Waza- hacbie, Tex., before the American Association of Nurserymen at the Denver convention, con- tinued from the Review of August 4.] After reviewing the reason for taking up the question of policy in replacing stock at less than full price, and its effect on the customer, Mr. Mayhew continued: What is the Effect on Salesmen?

Mention The Review when you writer ence prior to our general service, and realize fully that salesmanship is largely belief in the worth of the commodity offered for sale. If the salesman has confidence in himself, his employers and the commodity offered, and goes to patrons who have confidence in the in- tegrity and methods of the concern rep- resented, his success is assured. With- out this confidence his success is, to say the least, hampered. In figuring a salesman's worth we necessarily consider many things, not least of which is the volume of business at a stipulated price. If his services are satisfactory, it becomes necessary that he sell stock for a profit, and our profit is represented by prices named in the catalogue; hence it becomes nec- essary that the salesman maintain the printed schedule of prices. To main- tain prices, he must believe they are just, that they have been wisely fig- ured and that it is a crime against his company to cut prices. Such a sales- man is a valuable asset and will make you money each season. He must, of necessity, have other strong character- istics, but the one mentioned serves my argument. How can confidence in the worth of the commodity he is sent out to sell be stimulated! Does the fact that a premium is placed on the cus- tomer's carelessness tend to make the salfHman believe more firmly in the worth of trees and plants! Does he figure that our stock is of such peculiar har liness that it should stand droughts, 're, zes, cattle, etc., and come out con- qut 'or in the end or be replaced free or •:t one-half price, or does he figure our prices are too high to begin with? . The salesman, my friends, is no fool; *' *ie is, you do not want him. He thi'ks about this question as does any oth r sane man, and reaches the same cor -lusions. Let us remove these ques- tio: marks and show the salesman, the cuMomer, and the public generally, that th' product of our brain and brawn has ^r al rather than an imaginary value. ^''^T I have heard nurserymen, in* de- le n ling the practice, declare they could ^0 a profitable business by replacing ^'■'^' s at one-half the catalogued price. ^f Irue, which I doubt seriously, their Prifes'are too high to begin with, or One Large Specimen Hydrangea in Flower.

The Market. While trade seems to be extremely quiet, the reports from the retail stores would indicate that business last month was slightly better than in July of last year. There are quantities of flowers in the market at present, including Beauties, roses, lilies, asters and gladioli. Asters are here in quantity, but not quality, and probably there will be no good ones until the late ones arrive. This section is sadly in need of rain and, if it does not arrive soon, there will be big losses on all late crops. Corn and potatoes are suffering now and' market gardeners who are not equippe^ , for watering are in bad shape. Various Notes. F. H. Westhoff, at Allison park, is putting up a new carnation house. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. has finished planting its last house of car- nations and the stock looks fine. Boses are also in good shape for this season of the year. If all in this city who are making in- quiries, and are expecting to attend the S. A. F. convention, really go, Pittsburg will have a big delegation. There prob- ably never was as much enthusiasm. Someone says the boys have more money than usual. James Higgins, of Mrs. E. A. Will- iams' force, will leave, accompanied by his wife, for a vacation in the east, where he will visit his old home and meet his many friends. John Walker, of Youngstown, O., spent several days in the city. William Diamond, head salesman for Mr. Walker, is also spending his vacation in this vicinity. E. C. Ludwig and his son, De Forrest, will be among the convention attend- ants; also Ben Elliott, Howard Carney, John Jones and William Loew. These are boosters and are only a few of the crowd who expect to go. T. P. Langhans is back at his post, looking much improved on account of his vacation, and you need not believe his fish stories if not so disposed. George Marshall changed color while camping at the lakes and is being passed up by strangers, who take him for the porter. W. H. Jaqueth, Rock Creek, O., has been a visitor for several days. Ernest Zieger, who has been in Ger- many since Easter,. i$ back with us, Select Ferns for Fine Store Trade WE ofTer a grand lot of exceptionally well-grown plants of Nephrolepls, which will bo found one of the best selling and most profitable plants for florists to handle.

Mention The Review wben you wnte BOCHESTEB. The Market. Business during the last two weeks has been quite satisfactory. No sur- plus stock has accumulated, the trade using everything as fast as it came in. Asters are coming into the market in reasonable quantity and the quality is excellent, Queen of the Market show- ing exceptionally well. Asters are sell- ing at from 15 cents, tg 20 cents a dozen retail. Sweet peas are running a little below grade and the supply just about equals the demand; they can be bought at from 10 cents to 15 cents a bunch. A few carnations are seen in the stores, but their day is about past. Growers of asters for the market re- port that the fields are looking fine, and everything points to one of the best seasons local growers have experienced. Last year Monroe county asters were shipped to the wholesale markets of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and other large centers, but the demand in 1910 bids fair to tax the crop to the limit.

We supply them in, practically all tlu^ standard sizes and our prices "are no higher than yon would pay elsewhere, as the following list will show.

The annual meeting of the Nassau County Horticultural Society took the form of an outing and was held at the Inside Inn, Oyster Bay, Wednesday, August 4. It was a regular family affair, as nearly all the boys had their wives and children with them. All had a good time and many went home carrying trophies won at the different sports. The dinner was excellent, with plenty of everything. The principal winners were as fol- lows: Ladles' race, over 40, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Matz; under 40. Miss Hlghton and Mrs. Edward. Girls over 10, Henrietta and Marie Addor; under 10, Emily Everett. Boys over 10, G. and W. Wright; under 10, R. Wright and R. Johnson. Men over 40, J. GiUear and Alex MacKenzie; under 40. E.

Market conditions have not changed much here since last report. The supply in general is not heavy, and there is sufficient demand, especially in funeral work, to keep the market pretty well cleaned up most of the time. The early outdoor cut flower crops are being handi- capped by lack of rain; in fact, thus far it has been a typically dry summer, preceded by an unfavorable spring. Various Notes. We can again announce the opening of a new flower stand; namely, the Flora Bon, located on Third street, just north of Grand avenue. It is a flower and candy store combined, owned by Pasterino & Schiappacaesse, commission merchants, and managed by Dan Van Engel, who, judging from his first win- dow display — a small pond with six lit- tle, yellow, live ducks, surrounded by moss and appropriate cut flowers — seems to know how to attract the attention of the passer-by. The Milwaukee Gardeners' Associa- tion could not have wished for better weather July 31, when it held its fifth annual picnic and ball at Jones Grove, just north of the city limits, on the Green Bay road. The announcement has been received of the engagement of Gust. Mueller to Miss Ruby Eisner. Mr. Mueller is the manager and grower for the Mueller & Schroeder Co., carnation specialists, a position which he has filled most satis- factorily. With the return of Ed. Weber and the leaving of Tom Cassidy, the store force of the C. C. PoUworth Co. will soon be ready to settle down for the coming season's work. Both the Holton & Huukel Co. and the C. C. Pollworth Co. report having been lold out completely Sunday morn- ing, July 31. At the Holton & Hunkel plant at Brown Deer the new concrete benches have been about completed in all the houses. Among many other designs sent by James M. Fox & Son, July 24, to Menominee, Mich., was a casket cover, full length, made up of orchids and lily of the valley, and pronounced one of the finest ever turned out. The national encampment of the Knights of Pythias was held in our city from August 1 to 10, and this induced some out-of-town florists to pay us a visit. Chas. Merger 's young son is nursing a broken arm, the result oi an accident while summer-resorting with his parents. E. O. KfLMDEJ!^ ThebestofaUL/l thelobaccoA^^* jfastsfoij#ii>».

Coal prices advanced 10 cents a ton August 1. There will be other advances. Why wait? Wendland «& Keimel, Elmhurst, 111., gave an order August 4, to the Poca- hontas Coal Sales Co., 277 Dearborn street, Chicago, for 400 tons of Poca- hontas coal for immediate delivery. The strike of the Illinois coal miners, not only is not settled, but looks to be even in a worse position than before. The miners' union president made a set- tlement with the operators, which the miners themseKes^romptly repudiated. It a^ears/"tnat the men will have to set- tle their'differences among themselves be- fore there is any chance of a settlement with the employers. In the meantime the production of coal is light, the season of active demand rapidly approaching and greenhouse owners should be getting busy stocking up. CHANGING TO STEAM HEAT. At present I have three connected houses, each 16x40 feet, running north and south. The whole of the present building, therefore, is 40x48 feet, with three feet of glass in the sides and five feet of glass in the gables. The rafters are nine feet long. The temperature needed in these houses is 50 to 55 de- grees. I propose to build two more houses, running east from the present range. One of the new houses, the south one, will be 16x60 and will require a temperature of 65 degrees. The other new house, which is to be heated to 50 degrees, will be 16x30, with the boiler house at the outer end of it. The new houses will have 5-foot solid walls, boarded and lined on both sides. The present houses are heated, with hot water, but I wish hereafter to heat the whole range with steam, carrying a pressure of ten pounds or more. Four- inch pipe is now used as wall radiators, and the three houses contain, besides, a total of seven coils, each coil composed of seven l^/^-inch pipes, thirty-seven feet long. Please state what changes I must make in the three houses and what piping is needed in the new ones.' In this part of Iowa the temperature some- times goes down to 30 degrees below zero. H. N. A. To heat the present houses, 16x40 feet, to 55 degrees with steam, will re- quire eight 1^-inch pipes in the mid- dle house and nine in those having glass in the side walls. Save Money by Using OAVIS' COMBINATION CHECK AND ^^ GLOBE VALVES ^^? On Steam Heating Systems. Better than any other check valve fi .r any purposes, but especially adapted for use on pipes leading to steam boilers and from heating pipes to re- turn pipe. The combination valve takes the place of two valves, a cheek value and a globe valve, and gives much better satisfaction, making simple and short connections, saving valves, nipples, labor and money.

Florist Peter Crowe, Rose Place, Utica, N. Y., voluntarily writes:— " I am very much pleased to let you know that the Damper Retrulator I bought from you last fall is by far the best apparatus for greenhouse purposes. I had my book-keeper compare my coal bill of last with that of this year and I find a savinur of one quarter the amount of this year's coal over last year's ; also the past winter was a great deal colder and longer than the winter before. " There is another very good feature about the Damper Regulator, as it keeps a uniform heat in all the houses at all times by putting on and shutting ofif pipes. And I find that my Roses and Ferns did far better this winter than any winter so far, as the temperature was so uniform at all times. " My reason for writing you is to let you know, and also to thank you for bringing my attention to the Regulator, and I assure you I cannot speak too highly of this machine."

For the proposed house, lGx60 feet, to be heated to 65 degrees, ten li^-inch pipes will be required. In the new house, 16x30 feet, to be heated to 50 degrees, eight l^^-inch pipes would be sufficient. As the 4-inch pipes are on hand, there will be no serious objection to using i them for the flows, although smaller pipe would answer in most cases. STEAM FOB ENLABGED HOUSE. I have tvvo houses, each 20x52, which are heated with a Furman hot water boiler, No. 3,008. One of my houses is old, and I intend to tear it down, build it twice as wide and get the steam at- tachments. I have three 3-inch flow pipes in each house, and fifteen 2-inch returns in one and eighteen in the other. The returns are close under the benches, which are low. By placing the returns on the side wall and near the edge of the benches, would I not have enough radiation for the additional space?

In fact, the amount of radia- tion is more than is necessary, as a house of the size mentioned should be heated to 60 degrees with steam, using one 3-inch main and twelve 2-inch re- turns. It would be a mistake to use more than one main, and the returns •hould be reduced to the number men- tioned. In case 1%-inch pipe is used for the returns, twenty returns will be required. Either the even-span or two-thirds- span roof can be used. If a building has a slope of 30 degrees, it answers fairly Well. Hollow building blocks can be used to advantage for greenhouse walls. There is no reason why the longer slope oi the roof should not be on the lower side. We Make a Specialty of Supplying: the Floriata* Trade.

There always is a winter shortage, and this year, with every one hollering for coal, the short- age is to be worse than usual. "The best interests of the coal trade are not in high prices; we do not like to see wide fluctuations. Too high prices invariably mean a reaction and are followed by low prices — but we can see nothing in it except abnormally high prices for coal this winter. "It is an old saying that delays are dangerous. You can tell all the florists that delays are more dangerous this sea- son than they ever were before. They ought to buy their coal and get it on the place as speedily as possible." TWO MICHIGAN HOUSES. Will you please inform me how to pipe my two connected houses for hot water? The houses run east and west. House No. 1 is 201^x92 feet, and eleven feet to the ridge. It is to be used for general stock, such as bedding plants, mums and miscellaneous plants. House No. 2, for carnations, is 14x84 feet and has three feet of glass in the south wall, which is seven feet to the gutter. I have a Kroeschell No. 1 boiler, lo- cated in the northwest corner of house No. 1. The top of the boiler is three feet down. I have an old house, niaety-two feet long, which is piped as follows: One 3-inch flow along the purlin to the east end, where it is divided into 2-inch re- turns. Two of these returns are under the north bench, three alongside the second bench and three alongside the third bench, with four 3-inch returns under the south bench of a lean-to. This has given good results. The three 2- inch returns along the second bench were not used all last winter. All re- turns are controlled by valves, with one air cock on the west end of the 3-inch flow, which is also the highest point of the system. I also have one 2-inch flow and one 2-inch return running under the north bench to the dwelling house, but I will have to make it larger. The boiler, as I said, is located in the northwest corner of house No. 1, where there is also a potting shed.

Trade has been good recently, for this time of the year, with a good de- mand for all kinds of flowers for funeral work. There was a shortage for a few days, when carnations went to the bad and asters were not being cut in any quantity. Roses were also in short sup- ply, but this condition did not last long. Asters have lately been coming in by the carload, and it has been a question what to do with them.

Business for the last two weeks has been unusually dull, owing partly to the scarcity of stock; there are no roses to speak of and the few that come in are small and open almost too quickly to sell. Carnations are in the same boat; most of the growers have thrown out the old plants and what few new ones arrive are small and short stemmed; in fact, almost unsala- ble. "Work for a few funerals is about all there is to do — and at that it takes some hustling to find enough stock to make a design. Sweet peas are even poorer and asters, although just coming in, are away below par, owing, no doubt, to the hot and dry weather. Take it all in all, dealers say flowers never were so scarce during the months of July and August as this year. Various Notes, Miss Helen Eudd, of Chicago, has been spending a month or so with Mr. and Mrs. Valentine. B. E. Gillis has returned from his vacation at Pitkin and Colorado Springs. The office of the Park Floral Co., at 1706 Broadway, was broken into Wednesday morning, August 3, by burglars, and between $50 and $100 was secured. They also took a gold watch belonging to Miss G. E. Page, the secretary of the company. Nitro- glycerine was used, the explosion being heard by employees of the Shirley and Savoy hotels. The robbers blew off the doors of the safe and, removing the strong box deposited inside, carried it to the basement, where they blew it open. The company will lose nothing, however, as it was fully protected by burglary insurance. Only a few expect to attend the con- vention at Rochester. J. A. Valentine, of course, will go, and Mr. Root, of the Barteldes Seed Co., as well as E. S. Kennedy, of the Alpha Floral Co., ex- pect to attend, and there may be others. E. S. K. Danvers, Mass. — Ettore Tassinari, gardener at the Danvers State Hospital, has increased the area covered by the flower beds this season, and the ar- rangement of the beds is even more beautiful and elaborate than usual. Among the designs on the grounds are a large horse, a girl in a swing, an American eagle and a Maltese cross. The plants used are all grown in the hospital' greenhouses, which have been in "Charge -of Mr. Tassinari for thirty years. Money Talks Onr mftchine can not talk bat it Mvea money. That is layint a food bit. Remember the name AD- ▼AWCS, for it m^ans the hiffbett quality of material and workmanship that latest type nuMdilnery and modem aimtbodi of manufacturing can produce.

Convention — got out of the way somehow, and every summer when August came around we have been so head over heels with work that we couldn't seem to squeeze in anything extra. But things are pacing up faster with us now, and we have reached the place where the more we have to do, the more we seem able to do. You know how it is — the busier you are, the more time you have to be busy. E have not engaged the biggest space in the hall, nor are we going to make a big splurge, burn red fire or serve cold tea and pretzels, but in our Exhibit you will find some pointed pointers about heating. The kind of pointers that save you money — and profanity. HE manager of the Material Department promises to make a good showing — and he keeps his promises. The wide house and the EXTRA WIDE HOUSE, are coming in for their share. We have something to say and show on the subject, that will make you straighten right up and take notice. A New Kink in Ventilation will surely interest you. UR "trouble man" will be there (brogue and all), to talk on heating with you, and the Material and Construction Departments will be represented BY MEN WHO KNOW. Come around and shake hands with us, and keep acquainted or get acquainted as the case may be. Hitchings and Company Elizabeth, N. J. New York, N.

And he's doing things, you can depend on that. Doing things that you can't afford not to be wise to. Incidentally, he wants to know what you have been up to in the past year.] So be prepared to give an][account of yourself. After you have shaken hands all around with the boys, look up our Elxhibit; it will be the next best thing to do. You will find several of our representatives there, with Exhibits from the Heating Department, the Material Department and the Iron Frame Department. They know their business, every one of them, and are ready for business any two minutes you are. But one thing you can depend on, you won't be urged to buy a dollar's worth. If you should, however, so far forget yourself as to blow in some of your good money, it will be a pleasant thing for the boys [to write about to the Home Office. We would like to have written every mother's son of you a special invitation, and put it in Uncle Sam's hands for delivery, but you have grown to be such a big family now, that it is out of the question. So consider this an urgent invitation and a right down hesu^y welcome to our Elxhibit. Come around and make yourself at home. You will find things comfortable there, place to sit down— interesting catalogs and papers to read. ord & Burnham Co. Irvington, New York New York St. James Bids.

This Illustration is from a photo taken in June this year, showing part of a lily field located on the hills above the town of Vase, the chief seaport of tbe Island. Horseshoe Brand Products The word "Formosa" applied to lily bulbs is misleading, because the bulbs <^om- monly sold as such do not come from Formosa at all, but from the islari 1 of Oshima, located south of Japan. The bulbs planted there have done fairly well, « -^P^' cially in the sizes 6 to 8 and 7 to 9, and it is likely the quality will improve somevhat when the various varieties are separated and cultivated with the same care exer< ised by good growers in Japan. Lilies are also grown in the experimental stage in other islands still farther soutb, toward the equator, and some of them are superior to the best of Giganteum, bulbs size 7 to 9 producing in the fields from 12 to 20 flowers.

Mr. Seitaro Aral stands in the foreground, holding a "Formosa" Giganteum, which has a black stem clear to the top, and which he brought from another field for comparison. From a photo taken in June this year. Mr. Seitaro Aral, who supplies the Horseshoe Brand, with five assistants, visited the southern islands in May and June, some of which are uninhabited, with a view of selecting and securing such bulbs as will be of good value to growers who demand the best the market will afford, and a credit to the name under which these bulbs are marketed. AVe have a few cases of bulbs ready for delivery, which have just arrived from ^ariois southern islands, and which are reported of extra fine quality. You can also have the common so-called "Formosas" from Oshima— they are ready for shipment now. Write us if you want good lily bulbs. Ralph M.

LORISTS' SUPPLIES \ MANUFACTURERS' PRICES ^e manufacttire many lines of florists' supplies, either in our own bie building or elsewhere, and all others we handle in such p quantity tfiat we can make our modest profit selling at the prices manufacturers charge smaller buyers. In no case do we permit lives to be undersold. The greater part of our business being mail orders for a general line of supplies, we are in a position to r price competition on the same grade of goods. Outside of price, buyers will appreciate their many advantages in placing their t all in one place — saving in time, bother and express. "Wc carry so large a stock we can at all times till aU orders promptly. RIBBONS AND CHIEPONS Buying our Ribbons in loom orders means that we must carry an immense stock, but it also means tlut we get special florists' ies (not department store stock) at a cost that makes it possible for us to sell at the same prices smaller jobbers pay the muls.

Visitors to Chicago should not fail to inspect our permanent display in dust-proof, glass-walled sample rooms. Cut Flowers Supplies We are the Pioneer Cut Flower House of the Chicago market — at it continuously since 1878. "Wo have seen the business at Chicago grow from its very small beginning to its present wonderful proportions. This House pointed out the way, and all through the years we have kept in step with the march of progress. Our facilities have been devel- oped as the needs of the business increased. We probably have today on our list of buyers — we cater specially to the shipping trade — more names than any other house in this country, but our facilities will be found equal to the call of another increase in business this fall. ASTERS Our Aster", are in a class by themselves. This extra fancy stock comes from an Aster specialist who has for years been working up his private strains until we know of noth- ing to compare with them — year after year the buyers find these the fanciest, largest, longest-stemmed Asters in the market. Can also supply the standard grade of Asters ^n any quan- tity at market rates. GLADIOLI Buyers will find here large supplies of Gladioli of the right colors — America, pink; Augusta, white; Mrs. Francis King, red. SUMMER ROSES You can order Koses of us and be sure you will get the best stock the market affords. Specially strong on Killarney, the best summer rose. There simply isn't a thing in the line of Retail Storel Requisites we haven't got. Order and we will make prompt[ shipment. WIRE WORK We have made Wire Work for more than a quarter of century. In all the years we never have been undersold! though we sell our Wire Work on the basis of quality, dc| price. Place order now for fall needs. RIBBONS and CHIFFON We do not deal in job-lot Ribbons. Our stock is carefulljj selected. It includes all the Ribbons florists use, but it doei not include any off shades or off qualities, such as ars invariably taken on by houses that handle the job lots soil cheaply by mills at the end of a season. Buyers orderiia of us will get the same Ribbon, same width, same qualitvJ same color, on every order. Hundreds of buyers have foun^ it 's the most satisfactory way. BASKETS If we were to undertake to show our line of Baskets, ouj travelers would have to carry a carload of sampl 'S. ThJ only way is for buyers to visit our sample room or to ordej an assortment.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* GREENHOUSE Specialties-For The Grower We do an immense business in Greenhouse Specialties, because our list has been selected through many years of experience on the basis of best quality and )est service, price being a secondary consideration — but it is a fact that on these specialties of superior merit we often are able to make prices actually lower than are charged by others for articles used for similar purposes, but manufactured without consideration for the special needs of the greenhouse trade. FERTILIZERS There is as much difference in Fertilizers as there is be- tween night and day. Growers who buy without consid- ering the guaranteed analysis are buying in the dark; per- haps they get the plant food they pay for, but the chances are they don't. Send for our special Fertilizer Catalogue, containing guaranteed analyses on a full line of florists' Fertilizers. Bone Meal, per ton, $30. Bone Flour, per ton, $32. Blood and Bone, per ton, $31. Sheep Manure, per ton, $18. l^'ried Blood, Nitrate of Soda, Pulverized Cattle Manure, Shredded Cattle Manure and all other florists' Fertilizers. "ELASTIC-LYKE" Greenhouse Glazing Putty.

Rochester is known as the Flower City; its nurs- ery interests are greater than those of any other city in the United States, and probably in no other town in America, no matter what its size, does a greater proportion of the people come into close personal acquaintance with the interests which go to make up the Society of American Florists and Orna- mental Horticulturists.

The attendance was not large, although the hall was cool and comfortable. Mr. Vick introduced Mayor H. H. Edger- ton, who made a two minute talk of welcome. There was no rhetorical flub- dub about it, but its sincerity and good taste were evident. Following His Honor, Mr. Vick introduced George Deitrich, president of the Chamber of Commerce. He has a thorough ac- quaintance with the trade interests in his city, and spoke entertainingly of trade history. In his response to the double wel- come, Robert Craig made recognition of the work of Messrs. Barry and Ell- wanger and said that, though the so- ciety has this week brought to Roches- ter some fine examples of the plant growers' art, there is much in Roches- ter to interest every man in the trade, especially in spring, and he hoped to see the S. A. F. return to the city for a spring meeting. Patrick O'Mara gained the floor to present to President Pierson an ivory gavel as a token of the high regard in which he is held by his fellow members in the New York Florists' Club. Mr. Pierson evidently was taken entirely by surprise, but expressed his appreciation in a few well-chosen words, and then proceeded to read his annual address. Though President Pierson has been an exceedingly busy man this summer, he evidently had given the future of the society much serious, close consid- eration. While his suggestions as to the affiliation of the special flower societies presented some wholly new ideas, and his thought with regard to the semi- annual meetings was equally original, the more the members mulled them over the better they liked them. The paper is printed in full on another page. Close attention was given to every word, and at the close of its reading there was an outburst of applause that showed that the effort put into the preparation of the document was fully appreciated. Secretary H. B. Dorner presented a report of the year's work of his office. It showed steady progress, and is printed in full in this issue. Minutes of the meetings of the executive board were read and approved. Treasurer W. F. Kasting presented the year's financial record, also printed on a following page. C. L. Washburn, A, L. Miller and Joseph Heacock were appointed as an auditing committee. W. B. Ihi Rie, F. H. Traendly and B. Hammond were appointed to con- sider the reports of the state vice- presidents, which were volupiinous and not read to the convention. J. J. Davis presented a lengthy re- port on behalf of Dr. S. A. Forbes, the official entomologist of the society. He did not read it all, as it will appear in full in the society's annual voluthe. ; P. O'Mara presented, and rea^ sketchily, the correspondence betweeq himself and other members of the CQm- mittee on tariff and legislation, spe?' cially with reference to a resolution of the board of directors instructing tie investigation of the causes of the high price of glass. The correspondence waa voluminous, but led to the conclusion that no facilities within the command of the committee could be effective in grappling with so large a problem as the glass situation presents. Because of increasing heat and diminishing attendance, there was an early adjournment. President's Eeception. The annual reception to the presi- dent, which always has been the chief social event of the convention, was this year a notable success. Held in the big ballroom of the fine new Seneca hotel, there was abundant room, al- though the attendance was large. The ladies were excused from duty in the receiving line, but in the extension of the fraternal glad hand President Pier- son had the assistance of President Vick, of the Rochester Florists' Club; venerable "William R. Smith, of Wash- ington; Adam Graham, of Cleveland; Robert Craig, whose smile is perennial; J. Otto Thilow, who seems to know all about every man in the trade, even if he never saw him before, and James Dean, whose hair now is white as snow, but who has lost none of his youthful enjoyment of such occasions. Following the reception, refreshments were served by the skilled employees of the hotel, and a fine orchestra made music by which the young folks, and some of the older ones, danced till midnight. Those who thought the at- tendance of ladies lighter this year than some other years were surprised at the attendance at the reception, al- though, of course, the visiting ladies were there reinforced by the ladies of the Rochester members of the horti- cultural trades. Wednesday's Session. Wednesday opened cool and cloudy, delightful convention weather, but a multiplicity of interests prevented a large attendance at the opening of the business session. Those present were the wheel-horses, the workers, and t; e work of the society was put through expeditiously. The attendance i .. creased as the morning passed, the e dropping in finding their attentii n closely held. At the opening Secretary Dorn r made a report of the accessions to meni- bership since the date of his repoit, August 10, when there were 825 meiu- bers in good standing. Since thin sixty-two had paid up and 180 new members had been admitted, making a total of 1,067 members, against a best previous record of 995 — for the first time the society has over 1,000 paid-up members. Edward D. Boyer, of Northampton, Pa., read a paper, "Use of Cement with Special Reference to Greenhouse Con- struction." Mr. Boyer is a cement ex- pert, but his paper was not technical; he treated the subject from the point of view of the outsider and did not profess expert knowledge of greenhouse problems, inviting questions from the growers. J. A. Peterson said he used coal ash screenings; coke ash screenings were used for benches and gave good drain- age, using one to seven. Mr. Boyer said such a bench would not be per- manent; he wanted a more dense mix- ture. Mr. Peterson said a one to four mixture did not give enough porosity, no matter how many drainage holes were left. Mr. Boyer said concrete does not become completely set. like stone, till seven years have passed. E. H. Cushman asked for instructions on mixing. Mr. Boyer said the use of too much water is as bad as too little. He said a consistency like mortar is best. In reply to a question by W. A. Christy, he recommended chicken wire ■ ;;, : , •• 'V ■'; ■ . •• ■ . ■• .

Farenwald said that with ashes the reinforcing material Joes not last. Mr. Boyer said this is 1. 1 cause of the sulphur in the coal ash; t!ie ashes should be washed. In reply to John H. Dunlop, he said the sulphur iu anthracite is not so great as in anthracite ashes, but still is there. Re- plying to J. A. Freeman, J. A. Peter- ^•jn said he used fine ashes for outside vails and coarse ashes for benches. Mr. ] reeman said he thought condensation oil the inside of concrete greenhouse V alls is a disadvantage. John Birnie said he knew growers \v ho found concrete benches much tiiower than wood. E. H. Cushman and ]'rank Holton said they had found the <'oncrete benches quicker than wood. \[r. Farenwald said porosity is the great advantage of concrete benches for roses. Replying to S. N. Peck, I. L. Powell said experience showed fungus does not breed in concrete. H. H. Whetzel said it would be impossible. Ohas. Weber said he grew his best stock in concrete benches. Mr. Barry knew of concrete benches 33 years old that had no fungus. Replying to Mr. Pierson, Mr. Boyer said where long walls are built in one piece provision for expansion might be made with pitch or asphalt; the expan- sion of concrete and iron is equal, he said, but he does not consider the expansion of concrete an important point. August Poehlmann described the con- <:rete benches in use at Morton Grove. He found no difference in growth on concrete or wood and little difference in water required. There were many further comments and notes on experience, indicating that practically every grower present is using concrete and that the interest in the subject is universal. Baltimore Xext. The selection of the next meeting jilace provoked spirited rivalry between ('hicago and Baltimore. In the first place Secretary Dorner read invitations from the St. Louis Florists' Club, Chi- cago Florists' Club and Horticultural Society of Chicago. N. L. Flitton, secretary of the Gar- deners' and Florists' Club, also repre- >enting other bodies in Baltimore, made a witty speech in behalf of his city, promising entertainment in true south- ' n, hospitable style. August Poehlmann made a neat talk ' ;cking up the invitation of the Chi- ' go Florists' Club, and J. C. Vaughan • A pressed the belief that Chicago not ' ily owes a debt of hospitality to the ; itional trade body, but that the best ;■ terests of the society require a meet- • a; at such a central western point. In response to a question by J. A. ^^ alentine, the convention facilities of ' 'Ch city were explained. "Whei^W. R. "wraith, of ■'Washington, spoke for Balti- fi'Ore he received an ovation, John H. Dunlop presented an invita- ' on from Montreal, if not for 191^, fnen for 1912.' Polls were open one hour. The vote i^tood: Baltimore, 180. Chicago, 135. R. A. Vinceat and J. F. Ammann ^vere tellers. J. C. Vaughan moved to make it "nanimous for Baltimore, which was •lone with a cheer. F. R. Pierson. (President Society of American FloriBta.) Nomination of Officers. Nomination of officers having been reached, the following names were pro- posed: For president: George Asmus, Chi- cago, nominated by P. O'Mara, with many seconds. For vice-president: H.

The selection of the next meeting I'lace provoked spirited rivalry between ' liicago and Baltimore.

Lion & Co. received high commendation for Colonial bridal scarfs and invisible velvet corsage shield. Schloss Bros, received high commenda- tion for shower effects for corsage ties, ombcr green ribbon, French fancy ribbon, combination chenille and silk violet ties, striped gauze and lace bouquet holders. Andrew Wilson, Chatham, N. J., was given high commendation for his galax stemmer. The Gladiolus Society. The cooperation of the new American Gladiolus Society undoubtedly did some- thing to increase the trade display of cut blooms of gladioli, which were more nu- merous and larger than ever before, in addition to which there was the competi- tive exhibition of blooms for a fine list of special prizes. These classes were staged on the balcony of the new hall and were considered to be a fine start at a gladiolus exhibition. The judging was done by H. Youell, L. M. Gage and E. H. Cushman. The awards were as follows: Vaughan silver medal for twenty-'five spikes Mrs. FranciS King — B. Hammond Tracy, Wenham, Mass. Henderson prize for best twelve varie- ties now on the market — H. W. Koerner, Milwaukee, first; John Lewis Childs, Flo- ral Park, N. Y., second, Eawson silver medal for best collection of twenty-five varieties — Arthur Cowee, Berlin, N. Y. Eawson silver medal for most artistic basket — B. Hammond Tracy. Eawson silver medal for best American seedling never before exhibited — Vaugh- an's Seed Store on a Princeps seedling, red. Eawson bronze medal for ten spikes scarlet — Arthur Cowee. Eawson silver medal for ten spikes purest white — Vaughan 's Seed Store. A. L. Miller prize for best showing pink and white varieties — Arthur Cowee. Cushman prizes for best twenty-five white — Arthur Cowee first, B. Hammond Tracy second. Arthur T. Boddington prize for best yellow — E. E. Stewart, Eives Junction, Mich. Hart silver cup for exhibit containing largest number of standard named sorts — John Lewis Childs. H. H. Groflf special prize — Arthur Cowee. There was only one entry in the sev- eral classes provided for amateurs, from B. F. Ferry, Whiteville, Conn. Meeting of Ladies' S. A. F. The annual meeting of the Ladies' S, A. F. was held in the parlors of the Seneca hotel at 11 a. m. on Wednesday, and was attended by nearly seventy members, demonstrating for all time the wisdom of creating this splendid or- ganization, which has grown steadily from its inception until now, when its membership totals 211. The meeting continued till nearly 1 p. m., and was most harmonious and interesting. The address of welcome, delivered by Mrs. Montgomery, was an eloquent tribute to women's influence and progress, full of good advice and inspiration. In re- sponse Mrs. J. C. Vaughan gratefully expressed the society's appreciation, and presented to the lady an immense bouquet of American Beauties. All the suggested amendments were passed, after careful discussion, in which many of the ladies, especially Secretary Maynard, evinced rare ora- torical and forensic ability. Miss Mein- hardt made a charming and efficient presiding officer. A rising vote of thanks for her able work during the last year was given, with the hand- kerchief cheer, which the society uti- lizes in place of the "Hip, hip, hur- rah!" of the sterner sex. Mrs. Vaughan, Miss Fulmer and Mrs. Grant Wilson all spoke eloquently in behalf of a $50 vase, appropriately en- graved, to he awarded for the best table decoration at the National Flower Show in Boston, which vote was unani- mously carried. The election of officers for 1911 re suited as follows: President, Mrs. J. V. Phillips, Brooklyn, N. Y.; first vice- president, Mrs. Julius Roehrs, Jr., Ru- therford, N. J.; second vice-president. Miss Margaret Vesey, Fort Wayne, Ind.; secretary, Mrs. C. H. Maynard, Detroit, Mich.; treasurer, Mrs. A. M. Herr, Lancaster, Pa. Wednesday Evening. The illustrated lecture on "Trees, Shrubs and Flowering Plants," by John Dunbar, assistant superintendent of parks at Rochester, set for Wednes- day evening, was postponed because of Mr. Dunbar's illness, and in its place J. L. Cowles, secretary of the Postal Progress League, talked on the parcels post, a subject which should interest all florists, but which doesn't seem to. In the absence of W. N. Eudd, who hasn 't missed a convention before in years, his paper on "Value of Experi- ment Stations to Ornamental Horticiv ture" was read by the secretary. A lengthy report by Benjamin Ham- mond, chairman of the committee oii school gardens, recording the progress of the movement and showing much hard work by the chairman, was ro ceived and ordered printed in full in the report. Mr, Cowles presented a set of three resolutions endorsing the parcels post proposition. The society has hereto- fore fought shy of a decided stand in the matter, but, after a reply by P. 0 'Mara and others, the resolutions v/ere adopted. Ladies' Reception. The Ladies' S. A. F., whose mem- bers had been taken during the after- noon for an automobile ride through Rochester's beautiful streets and parks, tendered its annual reception to the gentlemen at the Hotel Seneca Wednes- day evening. The attendance was large and the officers, present, past and elect, who stood in the receiving line, heard many compliments for themselves, their society and their social function. Elab- orate refreshments were served in the big hotel's best style, and then there was dancing until midnight to the music of an excellent orchestra. As to its social features, this year's convention must certainly be put down as the best ever, Thursday's Session. J, A.

He stated that for the trades' display, which is to be held in a separate hall in the same building during the na- tional exhibition at Boston next March, over 5,000 feet of space already is sold. He recommended that a special conven- tion of the S. A. F. be held in Boston, oiieniug March 26, 1911, and it was so v.ited, unanimously. Officers were elected by acclamation, tiere being but one nominee for each otiice. President-elect Asmus made a speech pledging his efforts and asking tlie cooperation of the older heads. The proposed amendments to the con- stitution, to make the directors elective and the secretary and treasurer appoin- tive, were defeated. The proposition to change the date of meeting regularly from August to spring had been voted oil by postal and showed 238 for and 369 against. The amendment providing for the change was therefore laid on the table for one year. The proposition to raise the life mem- bership fee to $50 was defeated. Resolutions were adopted favoring the request made by New York florists for a state appropriation for green- houses for experimental work at Cornell. nell. President Pierson was presented with an elegant chest of silver as the usual memento of the occasion. Thursday Afternoon. W. B. Du Eie presented a report for the committee on state vice-presidents' thirty-one reports. They found them full of interest and recommended that they be ordered printed. The reports of A. M. Terrill, of Calgary, Alberta, and H. Papworth, New Orleans, were specially mentioned as showing prog- ress in the extremes of latitude. Prof. H. H. Whetzel, of Cornell, the society's pathologist, presented a brief verbal report and asked permission to submit a written report for the soci- ety's annual volume. He asked all niembers to bring to his attention such fungous diseases as cause loss, and pro- posed cooperative work in which Cor- nell and the florists divide the expense. The committee on president's ad- dress— J. A. Valentine, Robert Craig, E. G. Hill, W. R. Smith and J. C. Vaughan — commended the document as able and well considered. It endorsed tlie recommendations regarding the af- filiation of kindred societies, and be- lieved a mid-Lent meeting would pro- ■note cooperation. The committee en- 'I'rscd the recommendation to make the 'lirectors elective and the secretary ap- 1" intive, but did not approve the ree- f'limendation to increase the life mem- bership fee to $50.

A Mr. Eldredge was present, representing a concern in which he is financiially interested, which seeks to perfect a system for the transfer of retail orders, and" proposing cooperation with tjie retailers' organization, but it was decided too late to consider such a proposition. At the second session Mr. Valentine described the system of bookkeeping in use in his store, and there was a discussion of the question whether it pays retail florists also to be growers. Hail Association. The ■ Florists ' Hail Association held its annual meeting at Eochester, August 18, during the interval provided for the meetings of the several sectional and special societies. E.

After paying out over $82,000 in the last three years, an extra assessment is necessary, for the first time since the organization of the asso- ciation, to restore funds b6rrowed of the reserve fund, and put the F. H. A. upon a strong cash basis. The time of levy will be fixed by the directors, and the officials have not a shadow of a doubt but that it will be promptly paid.

Temple; treasurer, Josoph Heacock; secretary, J. G. Esler. An extra assessment was ordered. THE TRADES' DISPLAY. BOWLING. Thursday was bowling day and it is apparent that interest in the sport is reviving. Forty-five ladies participated in the morning games and there were eleven cities represented by five-men teams for the big inter-city contest of the afternoon, which was so long drawn out that it was not finished until late in the evening. On "Wednesday evening C. L. Seybold and A. F. Vick bowled for a champion- ship cup, the former winning six out of eleven games. A Veritable Exposition. The trades' display is the feature of predominating interest and importance at the S. A. F. conventions, and it grows apace. If the society only could make equal progress in its other de- partments all would be "Aierry as a marriage bell." The exhibition not only increases in size, but it improves in quality. Better stock is shown and it is staged more attractively, for ex- hibitors find they must bring nothing second class and that the more thought they put on display and arrangement the more attention they get. The sup- ply people especially appreciate this. The showing at Eochester this year again eclipsed all records. The plants- men came up as strongly as usual, the supply houses represented were more numerous than ever, and the displays better in every way. The material men occupied increased space, and the cooperation of the Gladiolus Society re- sulted in a larger showing of cut blooms. Two large halls and a balcony were crowded to the limit, and two of the largest exhibits, those of Lord & Burnharii Co. and Hitchings & Co., were forced into the basement, where, if somewhat out of the way, they had at least plenty of room and a degree of privacy that caused many growers to give a more careful inspection than otherwise would have been the case. Chas. H. Vick made an ideal superin- tendent. All the arrangements were well thought out in advance, and the many carloads of material were installed proriiptly and with little confusion; but new exhibits were added every day. Notes of the exhibits: Blbbons and Supplies. M. Eice & Co., Philadelphia, elimi nated the staples from their display and concentrated on the novelties anJ specialties, making a feature of nat ural effects. Perhaps the most attrac tive of the new things were the butter flies, humming-birds, canaries and 8mal> doves, the spun silk butterflies beinp especially good. A line of twig bas kets covered with natural moss fungut^ was pointed out as particularly popular, A German umber parchment paper was featured, for lining high-class boxes. Eeal Panama hats were shown in 4-incli and 8-inch sizes. There was a large line of lace holders for the old-fashioned brides' bouquets, and an equally large assortment of scarfs for the modern bouquets. Corsage shields for violets also were shown in variety. A pre- pared cycas leaf was like fresh cut. Waterproof crepe paper was featured and an artificial poinsettia with foliage was put to the front. These are, of course, only a few of the lines shown. B. Eschner was in charge, as usual, with several salesmen. H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, occupied more square feet of space than any other exhibitor, and Sidney Bayers- dorfer said it took twenty-six big bas- ket cases to contain the line. Among the novelties he pointed out were: Im ported gold and silver baskets for table favors and gifts; prepared ferns in variety in a wide range of new colors; artificial orchids, the cattleyas espe- cially like those of nature; waltz krantz, or wood wreaths, natural mate rials perpetuated; a wire clip for dis- play cards or price tickets; two-tone Herman B.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 31 Lookins^ into New Convention Hall from the Entrance from the Old HalL immortelles in several combinations, the center being a different but harmonious color from the outer part; rattan bas- kets trimmed with Roman gold; a large line of baskets decorated with gold braid; some novel shapes and colors of willow baskets, fitted with pans; gold or bronzed baskets, just landed from France; French favor baskets in many bright colors; and, it must not be for- gotten, the Chanticleer basket, shaped as its name implies. There also was a l^rge line of Imperial china and an infinite variety of other articles. Mar- ti ii Reukauf was in charge, with four a-sistants. The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Phil- a lelphia, had a table of ribbons that J"' presented an invoice value of almost ^ .000. Made-up ties for violets, valley, Oichids, etc., were featured, also a spe- p ;il line of combination flower and foliage colors in ribbons. A special r jbon for valley was shown. Several !■ w shades in orchid ribbons were put f rward. The Killarney ribbon was s' own in all widths, from shower up to S inch. Many new patterns in chiffons ^«^re included. All the staples in flo- r^sts* ribbons were on view. E. J. ^^^ncourt had as his assistants Robert f^reenlaw and Alfred Swan. . Lion &' Co., New York, featured silks '" their ribbon booth. A wire-edged {('luze five inches wide was shown in !"any collars. An all-silk chiffon made "1 Amerifea was 'presented for eompari- S"n with' the best 'grades of imported '''iiffon. A eilk ribbon matting for pot •covers was a new line. An 8-inch silk netting is in several colors^ A moisture- proof Malinette comes in many colors. A silk scarf for brides' bouquets is ninety-four inches long. All-silk cor- sage shields are in many styles, and a novelty is a moisture-proof shield to be used with violets, the color and shape being so near those of the violet foliage that the shield is called Invis- ible. J. Berg and M. Alexander were in charge. Their souvenirs were large, fat, black cigars. Wertheimer Bros., New York, showed an improved sprinkle-proof chiffon and featured several weaves of chiffon dis- tinct from former styles. A ribbon with wire edges was shown in many widths and colors. A silk butterfly on a quivering wire, for corsage bouquets, the house says is all the rage in Europe. The display included the firm's large line of staples in florists' ribbons and chiffons. S. B. Wertheimer was in charge, with two salesmen. They gave visitors a paper butterfly that balances on the finger, to call attention to the silk one. Schloss Bros., New York, had their usual large line of staple ribbons, chif- fons and violet ties, and, in addition, showed many novelties. A silk, lace or chiffon bouquet holder is named "New Fad"; a silk and chenille combination violet cord was pointed out; a striped silk gauze 1%-inch and 2^-inch for corsage work was shown in several col- ors; an imported fancy ribbon in flow- ered patterns is a foot wide; moisture- proof chiffons were numerously shown; corsage novelties were many, a striped gauze shower effect being especially good; bouquet scarfs were a feature. Emil Schloss was in charge. Scissors were given as souvenirs. Julius Neidinger, of Philadelphia, showed his usual large line of wax- flower designs, a larger line of baskets, mostly with pans, than heretofore han- dled, and a variety of Christmas novel- ties, including log effects trimmed with prepared ferns and artificial poinsettias. George Hampton was in charge. H, D. Mann Co., Syracuse, N. Y., showed Karnak brassware for ferneries and a gold-lined silver orchid vase. There also was a variety of baskets, chiffons, violet ties, vases, fern dishes, mats, crepe paper and staple supplies. F. W. Bannister was in charge. Andrew Wilson, Chatham, N. J., ex- hibited a unique device for stemming galax and other material. It consists of a zinc aifrow with a perforated clasp at the top, easily bent around the stems. Mr. Wilson was personally showing how it works. George B. Hart, Rochester, had two exhibits in charge of C. H. Vick, Jr., son of the superintendent of the trades' display. One was a novel arrangement of willow basket pot covers and cut blooms of asters. The other included baskets in variety, wire ware, ribbons, prepared magnolia and oak foliage, and Dutch and French bulbs. This is the first season that Mr. Hart has handled bulbs. Philip L. Cafbone, Boston, who is a retail florist as well as a wholesaler of imported novelties, had a table of small 30 The Weekly Florists' Review.

Parsons had charge of a table of French, Dutch, freesia, Harrisii, Formosa, iris, candidum and other bulbs, with a dozen named varie- ties of novelties and mixtures of gladi- oli, cut blooms, from the Biverton nurseries. Of the amaryllis-flowcred type Charlamagne and Roselle were es- pecially good. Deuil de Carnot, velvety maroon; Heliotrope, purple; Henri Le- iiioine, yellow with crimson blotch; Eu- • haris and Triomphe de Caen were among the foreign novelties. A vase "f Sulphur King and Baron Hulot made a striking color combination. Plant tubs, hose and glazing points also were shown. F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N, Y., staged the Boston fern and its numer- ous progeny, as follows: Piersoni, i^'-legantissima, Elegantissima Com- pacta, Harrisii, Scholzeli, Veridissima, ^uperbissima, and the youngest mem- lier, Mossii, to be disseminated next year. It is what its name is intended to imply, moss-like, dwarf, thick, dark green. In addition there was a large line of Dutch and French bulbs, Har- risii and Formosa lily bulbs, candidum :ind freesia. J. E. Fotheringham was in charge, as usual. Robert Craig Co., Philadelphia, made ii splendid showing of crotons; there were eighty-five distinct named varie- 'ies, and they seem to do them a little ^>it better each year. The long table •igainst a wall made a striking show of '•^lor. A special feature was the six I'ig plants of the drooping variety Cron- stadi; W. P. Craig, who had charge of ^he exhibit, said they had a whole liouseful of it at home, also a full house of Lonsdale, and over 1,000 different seedlings in sizes up to 6-inch. Fred Sander was a striking variety, and one of the new ones was Mrs. Macaw, named after the mother of the firm's grower. A number of the new French varieties were shown for the first time. The nephrolepis family was well repre- sented, including Harrisii, which they think will aid in keeping green the memory of the originator. Other ex- hibits were Phoenix Roebelenii, Ficus pandurata, dracsenas in variety, Pan- danus Pacifica and P. utilis, kentias, cyclamens, Begonia Lorraine and the Lonsdale variety, Bougainvillea San- deriana, adiantum, etc. J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati, showed begonias in variety: Glory of Cincin- nati, Agatha, Pres. Taft and Lorraine; also the striking Dracaena Victoria, a pair of handsome Phoenix Eoebelenii and some specimen plants of Nephrol- epis Harrisii. J. A. Peterson and his son were both on duty. S. A.

Henry Eiehholz, Waynesboro, Pa., had two large round tables of his new carnation for pot culture, Christmas Cheer. The plants showed their free- blooming qualities. The flowers are almost poinsettia scarlet and Mr. Eieh- holz says 6-inch pots retail readily at $1.50 each. The Julius Eoehrs Co., Eutherford, N. J., staged Celosia Pride of Castle Gould, which it is distributing; also Croton Fred Sander. Palms in com- mercial sizes were shown, with Lor- raine begonias, dracaenas in variety, camellias, bay trees, and Cibotium Schiedei. The Boston gold medal dis- play of orchids was represented by a few commercial varieties. J. A. Muller was in charge. B'obbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J., put up a general display of stove and greenhouse plants, a special feature of which was the specimen kentias, some of them ten feet tall. There were palms, dracffinas, araucarias, ferns, camellias, etc. PhcEoix Roebelenii was conspicuous. Of the firm's collection of 150 varieties of evergreens, forty varieties were shown in tubs, some of them so rare that the names were not divulged. Victor Morgan was in charge. W. A. Manda, South Orange, N. J., had Polypodium Mandianum as the leading feature of his large exhibit. Manda 's golden privet also was con- spicuous. Asparagus elongatus, Dra- caena Rothiam and Nephrolepis Gia* trasii were put to the front. There were some finely fruited oranges. Of evergreens in tubs some twenty-five va- rieties were shown, including boxwoods in all forms. Aucubas and palms had a place. Twelve varieties of anthuriums in bloom were shown. A general col- lection of commercial orchids in bloom had a separate table. S. R. Lundy and Robert Carlstrom were in charge.

R. Welch was in charge. T. M. Miller, Jamesville, N. Y., had a specially attractive exhibit in his new geranium, called simply Miller's Seed- ling. It is salmon pink, veined deeper salmon and with a small white eye. The color is extremely pleasing, the in- dividual flowers large, single, in fair- sized trusses on long, strong stems; 32 The Weekly Florists^ Review* August 18, 1910. iind 1111101110 ioco]ita('lt^s lor cut llowcis ;ind plants.

Of tiie amarvllis llowered ype Oharlamagne and J^oselle were es- pecially good. Deuil de Carnot, vtdvety maroon; Heliotrope, ])urple; Henri Le- moine, yellow with crimson blotch; Eu- ' liaris and Trioniphe de (^aon were 'inong the foreign novelties. A vase ! Sulphur King and liaron Ilulot made striking color combination. Plant lbs, hose and glazing points also were -liown. F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., -aged the Boston fern and its numer- 'iis progeny, as follows: Piersoni, legantissima, Fdegantissim;i Com- iicta, llarrisii, Scholzeli, Veridissima, "•ii[>erbissima, and the youngest mem- '■r, Mossii, to be disseminated next ear. It is what its name is intended 0 imply, moss like, dwarf, thick, dark reen. In addition there was a large ne of Dutch and French bulbs, Har- sii and Formosa lily bulbs, candidum nd freesia. J. R. Fotheringham was 'I ut to the front. There were some fintdy fruited oranges. Of evergreens in tubs some twenty-five va- rieties weri' shown, iiududing boxwoods in all forms. Aucubas and palms had a place. Twelve varieties of anthuriums in bloom were shown. A general col- let'tion of commercial orchids in bloom had a separate table. S. R. Lundy and Robert Carlstrom were in charge. Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville, O., showed Tansendschon, Hiawatha, Paby Rambler, Fran Karl Druschki and other field-grown roses for forcing; also ferns for dishes, small palms, prim- roses, Adiantum Croweanum, etc. S. R. Welch was in charge. T. M. Miller, .Tamesville, N. Y., had a specially attr.active exhibit in his new geraiiium, called simply Miller's Seed- ling. It is salmon ])ink, veined deeper salmon and with a small white eve. The color is extremely pleasing, the m- dividual How(>rs large, single, in fair- sized trusses (jn long, strong stems; 34 The Weekly Florists' Review. August 18. 1910. said to be a free bloomer. Mr, Miller and T. Y. Smith were in charge. Chas. Ebele, New Orleans, had a large low table of Phoenix Roebelenii, at least seventy-five plants. He was personally in charge and says this plant can be grown faster and cheaper in the south than under glass at the north. Chas. D. Ball, Holmesburg, Pa., showed kentias in both varieties, single and ma^e up plants; Latania Borbon- ica, Areca lutescens, Cocos Weddelli- ana, Dracaena Sanderiana and Phcenix Roebelenii, all perfect plants. Mr. Ball and his son were both on the spot. Lager & Hurrell, Summit, N. J., had a large table of established and freshly imported orchids. There were upwards of seventy-five varieties, the whole having an invoice value of close to $700. There were twenty varieties of cypripediums, fifteen of cattleyas and examples of practically all the commer- cial species. J. E. Lager was person- ally in charge. Conard & Jones Co., "West Grove, Pa., showed Lady Gay, Gardenia, Alba rubi- folia and Philadelphia Rambler field- grown roses, also viburnums, Althea Jean de Arc, Spira;a prunifolia and S. Anthony Waterer. A Boston fern was planted in the Illinois self-water- ing window box, for which the firm has the agency for several states. Robert Pyle was in charge. Lemuel Ball, Wyomissing, Pa., showed kentias, cocos, arecas, latanias, phoenix, Aralia Veitchii, Dracaena Sanderiana, D. terminalis, and crotons in several varieties. These plants have been his specialties for thirty-five years. Mr. Ball was personally in charge. George Giatras, West Hoboken, N. J., had a table of his new fern, Nephrol- epis Giatrasii, in several sizes, in charge of his brother, P. Giatras. Joseph Traudt, Canajoharie, N. Y., had a table of pot plants of new varie- gated sweet alyssum, Little Gem. Geo. A. Kuhl, Pekin, 111., had a table of ferns, including a large part of the nephrolepis family; palms and other plants grown for the wholesale trade. Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark, N. Y., showed thirty-six varieties of Dutch and French bulbs, some twenty varie- ties of field-grown roses, tree hydran- geas, tree lilacs. Hydrangea arbores- cens sterilis. Clematis Jackmanni, peo- nies, hollyhocks, etc. A. J. Fremow was in charge. Kessler Bros. & Dreyer, New York, had a table of the new nephrolepis, Dreyerii, in charge of Wm. Kessler and Geo. Dreyer. It is a compact Boston on the order of Scottii and is to be jointly disseminated next year. J. G. Harrison & Sons, Berlin, Md., showed California privet in large sizes, Coloi'ado blue spruce. Roster's spruce, berberis, shade and fruit trees. Orlando Harrison was in charge. His souvenirs consisted of fruit of a new peach shortly to be introduced. EUwanger & Barry, Rochester, had two sides of one of the halls and yet were crowded with their exhibit of some sev- enty-five evergreens in tubs, many of them large; Japanese maples and other ornamental nursery stock. Brown Bros. Co., Rochester, had a long table of evergreens in large pots, shrubs in pots, and ornamentals with balls in burlap. A large quantity of cut hydran- gea bloom was used in the exhibit. Cut Flowers. James Vick's Sons, Rochester, had an orormous display. A table of cut blooms of asters carried a vase of practically every variety which may be had in flower at this date and above it was probably the largest floral design ever made. It was a double faced sign, four feet high and thirty-six feet long, made of white asters with the words ' * Vick — Rochester ' ' in purple asters. It was estimated that over 12,500 were used in it. The balance of this table was given over to a full line of Dutch and French bulbs. A second table, the full width of the hall, car- ried an extremely large collection of cut blooms of herbaceous plants and annuals, all correctly named. The gladioli and phloxes were particularly fine. W. 1!. Dildine put in as much time as possible at the exhibit. Vick & Hill Co., Rochester, complainc! that the season prevented showing move than the early types of asters, but the display nevertheless was a large one. A. large number of plants were shown iu pots, full of bloom, and the same vari- eties were shown in vases. Queen of the Market was there in eight colors. Tlie Daybreak family was represented b\ seven colors; the latest is a light blue. Mikado, pink, which has been selected as the oflBcial flower of the city and renamed Rochester, was in evidence. A new one that looked good was White Fleece, shown both as pot plants and cut. The firms well-known strain of ruffled giant petii nias also were shown. F. W. Vick and A. F. Vick were at the exhibit whenever their official duties permitted. Arthur Cowee, Berlin, N. Y., had 332 vases of gladiolus blooms, not countinjj those shown in competitive classes. There were over 500 varieties, the display on account of the peculiar season consisting almost entirely of the Meadowvale flo rists' light mixture, with a number of novelties. Of Groff's hybrids Mr. Cowee pointed out Afterglow, Peace, Dawn, La Luna and Blue Jay as notable. A trio of fine scarlets not yet disseminated was War, Dominion and Empire. Some of the varieties never before exhibited were Aeroplane, London, Intensity, Silver Star and Lavendula. Mr. Cowee brought lii> usual staff of young lady assistants. John Lewis Childs, Floral Park, N. Y., staged 125 varieties of gladioli, cut blooms, a dozen spikes to a vase. One side of the long table was entirely Childsii varieties, most of the other side Gandavensis varieties, with one end and part of the side exclusively Lemoinei sorts, with the prominent end reserved to America, introduced by Childs, which still stands without a peer as a commercial variety. Some of the newer and good Childsii sorts shown were: Aline, white; Wild Rose, rose; Silver Sheen, white flushed pink; Scribe, mottled; Rosy A Corner of the Newer Section of Convention HalL AUGUST 18, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review* 35 A yiew of the Older Part of G>nvention Hallt Rochester. Spray, rose; Cardinal, red. Two notable sorts on the Lemoinei side were Klon- dike, primrose yellow with red throat, and Baron Hulot, a purple that will pass for violet blue. Of the Gandavensis sorts Shakespeare, Sunshine, Gloria Bright- wood, Sulphur King, Octoroon and Ca- nary Bird were among the best. I. S. Hendrickson was in charge of the exhibit. E. E. Stewart, Rives Junction, Mich., staged some seventy-five varieties of gla- dioli, cut blooms, about half seedlings of his own raising or selected from untested varieties raised by others; the rest were standard sorts. He featured Pres. Taft and Golden Queen, which were given iwards at last year's convention. Three new ones pointed out were named for his three daughters: Lucille is pink with orange throat, Ruth is dark variegated pitik with yellow throat, and Shirley is I'lnk with a maroon blotch. It has been ■' dry summer in Michigan, according to Mr. Stewart, who personally was in 'liarge. B. Hammond Tracy, Wenham, Mass., 'ad a display planned to demonstrate the I'dssibilities of the gladiolus as a deco- ' alive flower. The principal exhibit was "■ dinner-table complete, decorated with gladioli. There also was a mirror decora- ' on and a number of attractively ar- ranged vases were shown. Mrs. Tracy's •^kill contributed not a little to the effect. Prank Banning, Kinsman, O., exhibited a large quantity of Niagara, a seedling ^dadiolus of his own raising, a little lighter than America. A second seedling '['hown is cot named, but is from Amer- "a and a little darker than that vari- ''y. Mr. Banning was on hand. H. W. Koerner, Milwaukee, Wis., showed new giant flowered hybrid gladi- "li. only one of which was named, Vanus. '- D. Smith & Co., Adrian, Mich., ^*'nt for exhibition a vase of their new <'arly white chrysanthemum, a com- ■ '•'"lion to Golden Glow. Building Material. Lord & Burnham Co., New York, had a model pipe frame house of such size that every part could be closely in- spected. It embodied the giant arch with V-shaped truss, wide space in cen- ter between the two posts used in a 28-foot house; concrete walls, with real wrought iron flat posts partly embed- ded, carrying the shaft for a side venti- lator that occupies so little space that no part projects beyond the heating coils hung on the wall, the sash hinged directly to the eave plate. A No. 30 sectional boiler exhibited was sold to Asher M. Coe; with it was an extra section to show the hub connection where head room is lacking. A sec- tion of cast iron bench was put up. A section of curved eave construction showed how the curved bar is rein- forced from purlin to base; a leak- proof splice was shown in the bars. An iron gutter carries a flange along the center, underneath, so that a side wall or partition may be easily and securely attached. A line of pipe hooks included all sizes from one single to eight double for all sizes of pipe. Two patterns of swinging pipe hangers were shown, one with ice-tong claws. M. C. Wright was in charge of the display, with several assistants. A handsome card case with memorandum pad was given as a souvenir. Hitching3 & Co., New York, who have not exhibited for a number of years, had a most interesting display, in charge of J. McArthur and J. B. Jack- son. The newest feature was the Sef- ton double miter-geared sliding shaft ventilating apparatus as applied to the side of a greenhouse; the shaft does not turn, it slides; the arms are double action and do not protrude into the walk. A full-sized section of a house twenty-eight feet wide on one side showed the curved eave construction, with 24-inch glass, and on the other the angle-iron eave plate with 16-inch glass. The curved bar is reinforced with an inset of metal from the purlin to the cast-iron sill, set on concrete. A No. 18 and big No. 36 sectional boiler were shown, and a No. 16 corrugated fire-box boiler of a type the firm has sold for sixty years. A large frame showed at a glance various details of construction, including twelve types of gutter. Another similar frame showed all the details of the standard sashbar house. A third frame carried a display of photographs of notable greenhouses the company has built. On one day a leather cigar case was given as a souve- nir, with cigars in them. The John C. Moninger Co., Chicago, put up a model of a greenhouse roof to show the application of its patent hinge for ventilators. A small gilded section of piping embodied a full line of fit- tings. Handleable pieces showed tho firm's bar and gutter splice. Rolls of plans were an interesting feature to the growers. N. J. Rupp was in charge. The George M. Garland Co.. Des Plaines, 111., put up a section of full- sized greenhouse, combining the well known iron gutter with the trussed iron frame and embodying two different kinds of ice-clearing header. Thero also was a handy four wheeled truck for use in greenhouses and the iron mold for concrete bench legs. H. S. Garland was in charge, with two assist- ants. The King Construction Co., North Tonawanda, N. Y., put up a full-sized greenhouse and a model of a boiler-shed within. The section of house was the full iron-frame trussed construction put up by this firm in widths up to fifty- four feet without supports, using 1-inch sashbars.

Co., Detroit, showed two Morehead steam traps, one its usual type of tilting trap and the other a new condenser type, only one of which has yet been sold to a grower, A. W. Crane & Co., Toledo, who are said to get a good circulation with it, using one and one-half to two pounds' pressure, where formerly thirty pounds of steam were required. The trap creates a vacuum, which draws the con- densation out of the pipes. After hav- ing had a long test, it will now be put on the market. A. Fitzgerald was in charge of the exhibit. Kroeschell Bros. Co., Chicago, had a steel boiler capable of heating 48,000 feet of glass, said to be the largest ever exhibited at a convention. It was sold to Anton J.

The National Clock and Electric Mfg. Co., St. Louis, had a striking display of thermostats and registering thermome- ters, "the florists' watchmen." The booth had rugs and cozy chairs sur- rounding a diamond-shaped horizontal frame on the four sides of which the line was shown. Probably few appre- ciated that there are so many kinds of these articles, each one designed to meet some special need. The registering thermometers showed the days were pretty warm, but the nights fairly cool throughout the week. W. H. Arthur was demonstrator in charge. The Kitts Mfg. Co., Oswego, N. Y.. staged its hydraulic damper regulator, largely used by growers in the east, but not yet known to any great extent in the west. T. M. Nalton was on hand to explain the principle on which it operates to efl'ect a saving in fuel.

[The following la the report of Secretary H. B. Dorner, read before the Society of American Florists, in convention at Rochester, August 16 to m, 1910.] The books and other properties per- taining to the secretary's office were turned over by the outgoing secretary early in January. Much commendation is due Mr. Rudd for the excellent and simple system that he has devised for the keeping of accounts and records. It is only by a careful examination of these that one can fully appreciate the thought and labor put into the work. Condition of Finances. The finances of the society are stead- ily improving. The permanent or life membership fund, August 1, had reached the sum of $8,313.50, and to this amount will be added ,$125 for five new life memberships which have been received since that date. A full finan- cial statement will be given separately. Membership. It is also gratifying to note that the membership is gradually increasing.

August 18, 1910. 1908 the membership of the society was 889 at the end of the year. In 1909 this had increased to 995. Up to August 10, 1910, the paid-up memberships number 825, which, with those who pay their dues during the convention week and the new members joining at this time, promise to surpass all records. New Members. Tlic number of new members added to the roll to date is 77. Four of these tame in as life members. The secretary sent out, with most of the receipts, a re- quest that each member make an effort to secure at least one new member. In reply to this, four or five names were sent in. Few realize that if each mem- ber made an effort and secured at least one addition to the roll the membership would be almost 2,000 at the present time, instead of 995. Many plans have been devised for increasing our num- bers, yet how many members have made a determined effort to convince their neiglibors that they should belong to the S. A. F.? Payment of Dues. Many members overlook the fact that dues are payable on the first day of .Tanuary, and a failure to pay them at this time calls for a second notice. This is not only additional work for the sec- retary, but is an extra expense to the society. This money could be well used in efforts to secure new members. Trade Exhibition. The trade exhibition of 1909 was a success in every way, being a great im- j)rovement over former exhibits. After all bills and the superintendent's com- mission were paid, a profit of $629.15 remained in the society's treasury. Dur- ing the present year several changes were made in the rules governing the exhibition, principal among which were the increasing of the rates and the lim- iting of all signs to black lettering upon a white ground.

The thanks of the society are also due them for the complimen- tary copies of their publications sent tor use in the office of the secretary. Aid of the Society. It should be borne in mind that the S. A. F. is for the good of its members ami that the secretary is its chief clerk. Information regarding express troubles, questions regarding rates, legislation, etc., if sent to the secretary, will be placed in the hands of the proper com- mittees for action. Such data as this will give a firmer working basis in their investigations. The society can best lielp you when your wants are made known. The secretary will always be ready to give all the aid possible or else refer your troubles to others who may be of help to you. In closing, I wish to tender my heart- felt thanks to those friends who have given me so freely of their time and assistance and who by their advice have helped make my work both easier and better.

This convnition marks tlic beginning of the second (juar- liT century in our iiistory. ]t is very litlinii; that Kochoster, the riowcr City, -liould liave been chosen for tliis coii- \ ention, for no city in the United States lias done more to inculcate the love of horticulture among our people tlian has Kochoster. This city was the cradle of the seed and nursery business of the I'nited h'tates, and has a world-wide rep- utation f(jr its love of flowers and the iK'autit'iil. To my mind, one of tlie most im- pcirtaiit objrets to be accomplished at this time is tho incorporation or con sdlidation of the various societies de \(it('d to special lines of ornamental hurt icultiire into one lioinogeiieous, liar iiioniotis wiiole. By this 1 do not mean tliat tlu; different societies, su(di as tin' • '.•iriiation Society, the Eose Society and tiie other kindred organizations, shotild hise their individuality or identity, but that, instead of being separate organi- zations, they should become sections of tlic national society, each devoted to its; (iwn individual interests, but incor- jiorated into one jMiweiful organization. This is the day of concentration, ami now, it seems to me, is the j)sychologic- al moment for the unification of tin; dillcrent horticultural interests. Theoretical and Practical Union. ^'ou may ask how this is to be done, and it is a pertinent (piestion. As my friend, I'atrick O'Mara, has expressed it. "We need a ]Moses to lead us out of the wilderness into the promised land.'' If I remember correctly, this promised land flowed with milk and lioney; so it would seem as if tiie object to b(> attained was worth striving for. I do init want you to mistake me as expect- ing to be the ]\Ioses to lead you out of the wilderness of the numerous and varied interests represented liy the dif- ferent horticultural societies. This suliject has lieen uppermost in all our miiKls for years, and the ques- tion of afliliation has been threshed out, and it seems to me as if we might ac- complish, iu a concrete and practical foiiii, what we have been theorizing about for years, in the midwinter con- vention, which it is now propositi to hold in connection with the National Flower Show, to be ludd in J^oston next spring, the executive boanl having rec- ommended that a special meeting of the society lie held during the time of tiie National {"lower Show; and I sin- <-erely hope that this recomineudation will meet with your approval and be adopted, especially in view of the fact that the American Carnation Society has already fixed that date for holding its annual convention, .and the American Rose Society has also agreed upon that date for holding its annual convention, and I trust we may ha\e the coopera- tion of all the other societies as well. A General Midwinter Convention. This is directly in line with what I have in mind at this time as a desir- ability. In other words, I believe that, instead of having a convention of the Carnation Society in .Tanuary, a conven- tion of the liose Society in March, and a meeting of the Sweet Pea Society in the summer, it would be better if these different meetings were held at one time, nnder the auspices of the Society of American Florists. This would afford us an oj)portunity to test the desirability and advisability of such a midwinter convention before committing ourselves definitely to any change of plan. There are a great many arguments that can be advanced in favor of the summer convention, such as we have always held, and there arc other arguments in favor of the mid- winter convention. There are some who advocate doing away entirely with the summer con- vention of the society and substituting a midwinter convention, but at this time I should not want to advocate so radical a change. The secretary was directed to send to each member of the society an inquiry as to whether he would find it more desirable or con- venient to attend a summer meeting or a meeting during some month in the spring; so we shall soon have this ii: formation available. I do not know why it would not Vjc advantageous foi the national society to hold a soini annual convention instead of an annua; convention, as in the past. The sum mer convention has its advantages f o ■ plant exhibits, but gives practically no opportunity for an exhibition of oir flowers of any kind. To Interest the General Public. Last year, at Cincinnati, there Avri- considerable discussion as to the dt sirability of making our exhibitions c such a character as to interest the gen eral public, but on account of lack oi room at Uoehcster, there being so groai a demand for space by exhibitors, i' was found impossible to carry out that suggestion at this time. There is uu doubt but the general public is mucli interested in our conventions, and ii is very desirable that our exhibit- should be of such a character as to in terest the public and help floriculturi' generally in tiie different cities where we gather from time to time. A mill winter convention would offer a mag nificent opportunity for this purpose, and I believe that the coming National Flower Show will demonstrate the de- sirability of a midwinter meeting — pos sibly not on so elaborat<' or extensive a scale as will be attempted in Boston next year, but along those general line.- Edward S.

Suggestions About the Secretary. If an afliliation can be accomplished. ! would suggest the desirability of III 41 'i ^HF ^'i 1 « /-^ 1 ^ mm] y^^ '■'■ / r / s J, lia\iiig the secretary of llic national sdcii'ty also act as the secretary uf all the afiiliated societies. I think this would tend to greater eliiciency and ecunomy. 1 would also suggest tiiat the presidents of all the affiliated societit's 1)0 made members of th(> lioard (if di rectors of the S. A. F., thus giving eatdi society a Aoice in the inaiiagenient of the affairs of the national orgaiii/atioii. Along these lines, it might he apro- pos for me to mention what I have had in mind for a long time, and that is that our interests are large enough and imi)ortant enough to justify the em- ployment of a secretary who shall his entire time to the advaiiceiiieiit, of the interests of our society. Uur jiresidents are a|(|Kiintetl tOr only one year, so that it would lie desiialile to have one executive officer whose term of (itlice should be more or less contin- uous.

T ludieve that the offices of the ]>resident, vice-president and dirf^ctors should all be elective, and that the of- iice of the secretary, and ])ossibly of the treasurer, should be .apfiointive. So far as the treasurer is concerned, I am not so insistent that his slunild be an appointive ottice; hut 1 believe that the secretary should be ap]n)iuted by the board of directors, and that his tenure of office should not be subject to any uncertainty as long as he does his work well, and satisfactorily to tlu> board of directors, ronstituted as we are as a society, it is d(>sirable that some one should occujiy this office who is fa- miliar with the situation and who can jiive it his entire time and attention.

George Schmidt has been engaged by them as a rose grower. The Schmaus brothers, of Paducah, Ky., who spent several days here last week, made the rounds visiting in their big automobile and left for home much pleased with their trip. Mrs. J. Austin Shaw left last week to meet her husband in Eochester. Their daughter, Mrs. Noel, has fully recovered from her sickness and is spending the rest of the summer up north. A. G. Greiner, the local cactus spe- cialist, on Natural Bridge road, is at- tracting a great deal of attention with his fine display of cacti in the front of his place. He reports that he will soon build a large cactus house, owing to his great increase of business. Dan Cupid stole into the hearts of two prominent young folks in the trade last week. Great surprise was ex- pressed by their many friends in the trade when the marriage of Fred C. Weber, Jr., to Miss Minette L. Beyer was announced. The happy young cou- ple are spending their honeymoon at Atlantic City, N. J. Adolph Brix, of the Brix Floral Co., says that he has had a splendid summer business with funeral work and will not be able to take any vacation this sum- mer. A. J. Bentzen has removed from his residence on Marcus avenue and will hejeafter live over the retail store, at 3117 North Grand avenue. John Bentzen, the buyer in the wholesale dis- trict, says trade continues good. Charles Schoenle and George Anger- mueller were to have gone on a week's fishing trip, but, owing to the illness of Mr. Schoenle, the trip was postponed until sometime next week. Any of the local trade wishing any of the photographs of the recent picnic can bo supplied at the wholesale house of the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. Henry Berning has leased the store one door west of his present quarters. Arches will be broken through, which will give him much needed room all on one floor. George Angermueller is contemplat- ing taking in the upper floor of his present quarters, which will be fitted up for offices and supply room. The ground floor is to be used only for cut flowers. C. A. Kuehn's three large floors are being lookeil over and restocked for the coming season. The wire depart- ment on the third floor is working full time. The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. is still in the midst of reconstruction. The wire shop will be in the rear of the second floor and the main office in front. Belleville was well represented at the club meeting, Thursdiiy, August 11. There were present E. W. Guy, A. S. llalstead, Henry Emunds and Gus W. CJrossart. The Shaw banquet at the Southern liotel last week was well attended by tlie local trade. The decorations of the tables consisted of white and pink asters. Prof. William Trelease was the toastmaster of the evening. All the delegates to the apple growers' meeting were in attendance. The Florists' Club was represented by President George B. Windier, President-elect John Con- non, J. F. Ammann, E. W. Guy, W. C. Smith, Charles Schoenle, Frank Weber, J. M. Walther, C. Bergstermann, Emil Schray, F. J. Fillmore, H. C. Irish and J. J, B'eneke. The Horticultural So- ciety was represented by Otto G. Koenig, F. H, Meinhardt and Andrew Meyer. Max Herzog, Charles Fulgraf and G. H. Pring were also in attend- ance. It was an enjoyable evening for all. The St. Louis visitors to the S. A. F. convention left here Monday, August 15, over the Big Four railroad at 1 p. m. The following were seated in the spe- cial when the train pulled out: Mr. and Mrs. Henry Berning, E. W. Guy and daughter, Alex. Waldbart, E. J. Wald- bart, William Osseck, Otto Koenig, Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Meinhardt, J. F. Am- mann, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Bruenig, F. H. Weber, J. Winkler and Miss Tillie Meinhardt. They arrived at Eochester Tuesday, August 16, at 9 a. m. J. J. B. BOSTON. The Market. There is no great change in the cut flower market. If anything, business was a little improved last week, the shipping trade to seaside resorts being better. In the way of roses, Kaiserin are extra good and meeting with a fair sale, also Carnot. The majority of the Killarney are rather small. Not many Beauties are seen, but some My Mary- land are coming in. Quite a few small sized flowers are hard to move. Carna- tions are nearly down and out. The old crop is practically finished, and what blooms arrive are small. A few outdoor-grown flowers are seen, and some of the new crop is about due. Asters are growing in quantity and improving in quality. While the ma- jority are Queen of the Market, some of the Comet and Ostrich Plume sec- tion are also coming in. Values on these have declined. Lily of the valley shows rather more life and has met with quite a good sale of late. Of lilies there is an abundant supply, not only in longiflorums, but auratums and speciosums, both white and rose. The two latter do not sell well. Gla- dioli are abundant and of good quality, but do not meet with a ready sale; neither do cosmos and the variety of other outdoor annuals now arriving. Supplies of green stock are ample, but the demand at present is not heavy. Various Notes. The Boston visitors to the S. A. F convention at Eochester left in two special cars via the Boston and Albany railroad, August 15 at 10 a. m. It was both a substantial and jolly crowd, the largest Boston has sent to a convention for many years. Evidences were abun- dant that there would be unlimited jollity on the journey, and anyone com- ing in contact with them would have no doubt of where the party hailed from, any more than any conventionists at Eochester would do. Great praise is due E. Allan Peirce, state vice-presi- dent, for his strenuous work to secure a substantial delegation. He threw both time and money into it, and the results must be particularly pleasing to him. The Boston train stopped at Worcester, Palmer, Springfield and Pittsfield, where other conventionists were picked up. Eobert Cameron returned from Bar Harbor, Me., August 15. His stay was briefer than intended, as extensive changes in the greenhouses at Harvard Botanic Gardens are being made or are in immediate prospect. A. G. Lake, of Wellesley Hills, has his usual grand field of asters, which are among the finest to be seen in Massachusetts. F. W. Eobinson, who was with E. Fred Rowe.

Visitors during the week were John Benstead, Racine, Wis., and C. B. Tre- main, Hartford, Wis. The large new refrigerator at the Holton & Hunkel store was completed last week and they now have better fa- cilities than ever before for meeting the always increasing cut flower trade. Mr. and Mrs. August F. Kellner and children moved to their summer home on Gkanchee lake August 6. The Milwaukee representation at the S. A. F. convention at Rochester this week is unusually light. The following left with the Chicfigo boys on Monday: Nic Zweifel, Gust Mueller and H. W. Koerner. Owing to sickness in the fam- ily, Fred W. Holton, who worked hard trying to induce everybody he met to go to Rochester, was at the last moment prevented from attending. C. C. Pollworth, who seldom fails to attend any convention, found that there was so much work which commanded his personal attention that, although he hoped up to the last moment that he might get away, he was forced to stay at home. The C. C. Pollworth Co. says that the call for Formosa lilies is away ahead of that for Harrisii. This com- pany received its first carload last week. Boy Currie, of Currie Bros., returned Monday, August 15, from a two weeks' vacation at Army lake. He spent most of his time canoeing, fishing, etc. He says they were so busy with funeral work upon his return that it was the same old song, "Dig in." The Holton & Hunkel Co. is receiv- ing a fine lot of Beauties from their Brown Deer range. E. O. LILIES FOB SUMMER. What kind of a white lily is consid- ered best for planting out iu the field for summer bloom here in Tennessee? M. E. H. Lilium speciosum album would be the most useful variety for you. Plant the bulbs in November or December nine inches deep. Lilium longiflorum, Japan- ese grown, if planted early in the spring will be a good variety to precede the speciosums. C. W. GLADIOLUS BEENCHLEYENSIS. Regarding the introduction to com- merce of Gladiolus Brenchleyensis, George Bunyard, of the Royal Nurs- eries, Maidstone, England, writes to the Gardeners' Chronicle to say that he no- ticed a statement recently to the effect that inquiries have been made respect- ing the origin of the variety at the vil- lage of Brenchley in Kent, but no par- ticulars could be gleaned: "In refer- ence to your note as to origin of this gladiolus, allow me to say that over fifty years back, my father purchased bulbs from the raiser, a Mr. Hooker, of Brenchley, Kent, who raised it from Gandavensis. I can well recollect sell- ing them at 2s 6d each. We raised a big stock the same year. Mr. Youell, of Yarmouth, called on his round, and we sold him a quantity, which, in his sandy soil, soon enabled him to flood the coun- try with it." 46 The Weekly Florists' Review* AuciLbT 18, 1010. lint;' a nice lot of Ivillarncy roses, also a line lot of yiyaiitcum lilies.

Dorner, Sec'y. August 15, 1910. RESULTS THAT COUNT. Many factors have influenced adver- tisers, but they steadily are coming to buy advertising on the same basis that they buy other commodities — on the basis of worth. We were more than pleased with our ad. In The Review. We had more orders from It than we had stock. The Review is certainly a hum- dinger to get business. — W. J. Miller & Son, Pontlac, HI., August 8, 1910. I am completely sold out of stock, thanks to your efficient advertising medium. — R. H. Mc- Kerr, Canandaigua, N. Y., August 8, 1910. Practically everyone whose trade is worth going after reads The Keview. PROFITS IN EXPRESS. That the four great express companies get net returns of from forty-three to 115 per cent or more on the capital em- ployed in actual express operation is stated in a report issued by the Mer- chants' Association of New York. The report, prepared by Frederick B. De Berard, deals in detail with the resources and operations of the Adams, American, United States, and Wells-Fargo compa- nies. The conclusion is reached that the greater part of the assets of express com- panies are devoted to investment and that the capital actually employed in the ex- press business is little more than the Talue of the equipment plus a moderate work- ing fund.

The week having start- ed off excellently, it was hoped that the business iiad taken a permanent up- turn, but the latter part of the period covered by the Knights Templar con- clave saw a considerable reduction in the local demand, some falling off iu shipping orders, and a considerable in- crease in the supply of stock, particu- larly asters and gladioli. Probably the decrease in demand from out of town was due to the local crops of the same flowers, which began to pile up in Chi- cago. The opening of the present week has brought no special activity. Con- vention week never is better than quiet. Too many people are away from home; the hustlers for business among the re- tailers are the ones who attend con- ventions, in a great majority of cases. The market is now well supplied with all seasonable flowers. Asters are com- ing in heavily in all the colors. The increase in supplies has made it possi- ble to fill all orders with a fair grade of stock, though the greater part of the asters still run poor. The demand con- tinues to be for the best grades. The extra fancies are bringing good prices, with fair values for the medium grades, but scarcely any value for the open- centered, short-stemmed, small and gen- erally unsalable flowers. The receipts of gladioli have in- creased almost as rapidly as the re- ceipts of asters. It is not possible to do much with the common run of glads, but America is selling well, with such bright reds as Mrs. King also moving satisfactorily. Augusta continues in too large supply to bring the price it otherwise would command. It does not pay to ship anything but the three self colors to this market. Some reduction in the demand for Beauties is apparent, but the best stock still cleans up promptly at average sum- mer prices. Supplies of My Maryland are larger than heretofore and some of the stock has stems of good length. The variety is now competing successfully with Killarney, and White Killarney does not sell so long as Kaiserin is ob- tainable. There is little call for Eich- mond. The varieties mentioned are the principal stock in trade today, though smaller quantities of some half dozen other roses can be supplied on orders. There are now enough roses for all de- mands. Short stock from new plant.s is overabundant; the good stems come from houses run especially for summer. Both Easter lilies and auratums are abundant. There is sufficient valley. Cattleyas are scarce. A few Shasta daisies still come in and sell fairly well. The summer flowers meet with the usual sale. There are considerable receipts of Golden Glow chrysanthemums and the quality in several instances is extreme- ly good, but the same cannot be said for the demand. It really looks a^ though there is little use for mums in hot weather and the prediction is free- ly made in the market that not so many will be grown for summer an- other season. August 18, 1910.

The green goods market is quiet. There is an abundance of everything. Various Notes. Joseph Straus, with the A. L. Ean- dall Co., reports that the retailers are much hampered by the rules of the elevated railroad companies, prohibiting passengers with large bundles passing through the gates. The florists seldom use the transportation lines to carry home stock during the rush hours; trade demands are otherwise. The repairing of the Flower Growers' Market building is progressing so slow- ly that some of the stand-holders are be- coming impatient. John Michelsen, of Amling's, with his family, is vacationing at the lakes in the vicinity of McHenry, 111. Harry Lubliner, of Lubliner & Trinz, says the summer has seemed short be- cause there has been so good a supply of stock, making business possible. Miss Gunterberg is handling the stock of Sinner Bros., reciprocating during John Sinner's absence for his care of her own supplies during her vacation. Gus Lange and family have returned from their visit at Omaha. A. H. Budlong has been at Lake Geneva for several days. Miss Nelda Wolf, who keeps the J. A. Budlong books, has spent a part of her vacation at the Budlong cottage at the lake. Phil Schupp says buyers now prefer My Maryland to other pink roses. L. E. Bohannon is fishing at Sister Lakes and Crooked Lake. Fred Sperry, of Vaughan & Sperry, with his family, is looked for this week, returning from an outing at Minneap- olis. Henry Wehrman, at Maywood, has five houses planted to mums, which he will follow.with sweet peas. Mr. Wehr- man was the pioneer grower of winter- flowering sweet peas for this market and much of the present popularity of these flowers is due to his persistency when the demand was small. B. Abrahamson is now exploiting his auto delivery service for florists. Peter Reinberg is progressing rapid- ly with the planting of his carnation houses. The rose cut is light, but con- siderable quantities of Beauties are re- ceived. George Pieser is no longer with Zech & Mann. F. F.

Winterson says that never since he has been in business has the cut flower trade been so good in summer as has been the case this year. In the seed store French bulbs are in and Dutch stock is expected soon. Ernst Amling, son of Albert F. Am- ling, has put up a range of about 18,- 000 feet of glass at Maywood, planted to Beauties, and is about ready to cut. His uncle, E. C.

The Superior Machine and Boiler Works report that business is again good, after a dull period of about three weeks. Visitors. John H. Dunlop, of Toronto_, was a prominent figure at last week's Knights Templar conclave. He is high up in Masonry. You might address him as Right Eminent Sir John H. Dunlop, Past Grand Registrar, Sovereign Great Priory of Canada. He also is Past Pre- ceptor Cyrene Preceptory No. 29, K. T. G. R. C., and a lot of other things. Wm. F. Gude, of Washington, D. C, who also is up at the top, was another conclave visitor. Herbert Gtaham Walker, of F. Walk- er & Co., Louisville, was in attendance at the conclave. Other visitors included R. A. Scott, of Wm. Scott Co., Buffalo, with a party of friends on their way to a summer camp; Robert Bebb, of Muskogee, Okla., looking around; two daughters of J. R. Hellenthal, Columbus, O.; Lewis Hen- derson, of Omaha, Neb., attending the Knights Templar conclave, and W. R. Adams, superintendent of parks, Omaha, also attending the conclave. SPEINOFIELD, O. Various Notes. The annual picnic of the Springfield P'lorists' Club has in former years been a "stag" affair, with refreshments and program of sports to correspond, but the number able to attend on any given date has never been such as to make anything like a crowd. Hence it was thought advisable to change the plan this season and make it conform to the custom which seems to prevail through- out the country, as shown by the fre- quent illustrations appearing in the trade papers, and it was decided to in- vite the ladies and thus enhance the quality and at the same time add to the number of participants. Accord- ingly, on Thursday, August 11, the florists, with their wives, daughters and sweethearts to the number of thirty odd, boarded an electric car for Indian lake, minus the customary picnic basket, as it was thought better to take dinner at one of the numerous summer hotels rather than be hampered with lugg.age and the usual muss of serving a cold lunch. Upon arrival, motor boats were secured and a splendid three-hour trip was enjoyed, Clark's island and other points of interest about the lake being visited. After this ride, the party sepa- rated into groups for bathing, rowing, fishing, etc., according to individual in- clinations. A thoroughly enjoyable day was spent and a similar plan will doubt- less be followed in succeeding yeajs, with a gradually increased attendance of both members and ladies. The committee appointed to prepare a premium list and take charge of the proposed November flower show has concluded to abandon the project for this year. The reason assigned is that the local retailers do not appear to get together with a sufficient degree of in- terest and unanimity to make such a show a success. This will prove a dis- appointment to the Y. W. C. A., whose directors had agreed to furnish a suit- able room and work up a big attend- ance. Charles Schmidt, of the Schmidt & Botley Co., recently completed a bunga- low on the company's nursery lands south of town, and, with his family, has been spending a brief summer vacation at this point, which has the advantage of a small running stream. Owing to the constantly increasing demand for its roses, which has com- pelled the growing of an additional 100,000 plants each year since the start in 1904, the Lcedle Floral Co. has found it necessary again to add to its capa- city and is now completing the erection of three new houses, which cover a space 67x180 feet. These are of Dietsch construction and connect with the present range of houses 21x162 feet. The outer slopes on the north, west and south sides are carried down to a low cement wall by the use of 16foot roof bars. A portion of the benches are of the usual wood construction, the re- mainder being ground benches with an 18-inch cement wall, the latter being adapted for the wintering of two-year- old roses in 4-inch pots.

WHOLESALE FLORISTS 1619-21 Ranstead St., PHILADELPHIA, PA. Me'^tion The Review when you write. PHILADELPHIA. The Rising Eastern Market. The tone of the cut flower market improves with the improvement in the principal flower, the aster. The number of really fine asters is increas- ing and the flood of poor asters is dis- appearing. Ostrich Plume, Vick's Branching, Vipk's Upright and Sem- ple's are all good, the first two espe- cially so. The price on the best has advanced. They are well worth the added figure, selling more readily than the ordinary grade. There is a differ- ence in the demand for the different colors as compared with two weeks ago, for the rose-pink was at a premium and now it is not in demand. Pink and pale pink are preferred. White and good purple sell best in proportion to the receipts, which are much greater, of course, in white than in purple. Ostrich Plume shows a new shade — a most delicate lavender, which appears white in poor light. Eoses come next in importance to asters. Kaiserin, Maryland, Bride and Killarney are all in fair supply, the preponderance strongly in favor of the lower grades. Beauties are good and sell fairly, but of course their number is small. Gladioli are on the back track now. Easter lilies continue ex- cellent; the supply suffices, but is smaller. Valley conditions fluctuate frequently; at times there is not enough. Cattleyas are so scarce that small orders are halved most reluctantly after every effort has been made to get enough. Sweet peas are shorter in sup- ply. Cosmos is improving. Hydrangeas are fine. Fhiladelphians in Bochester. Philadelphia was well represented in Rochester this week. The main body left the Reading terminal in a special car attached to the 10 a. m. train (not 10:30, as incorrectly given out), Mon- day, August 15. Some went earlier and a few later. Second and Bristol Streets. The property and greenhouses at Second and Bristol streets, now owned and operated by W. & H. F. Evans, whose main place is at Rowlandville, have been purchased by Edward and Howard Aschmann, who will take pos- session as soon as some flower crops have been harvested. They will devote the place to the growing of plants and cut flowers. The place has had a check- ered existence, passing through several hands. The feeling on the street was expressed by one of our leading busi- ness men, who thought these young men would make it a success, as they are accustomed to battling with ad- verse conditions and overcoming them. A Convention Souvenir. A pretty souvenir that was given out in Rochester was a china piece consist- ing of a chanticleer standing by a bas- ket ornamented with forget-me-nots underneath the giver's name and ad- dress. Mr. Bayersdorfer timed these souvenirs so well that they were re- ceived and dispatched to their destina- tion in the convention hall almost at the minute needed. Various Notes. Godfrey Aschmann sailed for Europe, August 13, to look over the Belgian .azaleas and other stock. John Asch- mann is in charge during his father's absence. J. N. King, of Norristown, considers Bridesmaid the best pink rose today. He uses this variety in quantity. Mr. Ring's retail business was established by his father in Norristown about the middle of the last century. William Rehder, of Wilmington, N. C, spent a short time in this city on his way through New England. He will travel by motor.

Annual Flower Show. The third annual exhibition of the Bar Harbor Horticultural Society, which was formed two years ago and now numbers over 250 members, was held in the Building of Arts August 13 and 14. No more beautiful site for a flower show could possibly be designed, the mountain scenery here being enchant- ing. The annuals shown here, such as lupines, larkspurs, Shirley poppies, an- tirrhinums, sweet peas and Phlox Drum- mondi, were of a quality probably un- equaled by any other show in the east. The cooler nights and more frequent fogs and rains, added to the proximity of the sea and good soil, bring out extra high colors. Sweet peas, espe- cially, have flowers of a remarkable size. Some of the leading exhibitors in the various classes were: Mrs. J. S. Ken- nedy, W. T. B'urton gardener; Joseph Pulitzer, A. W. Eckstrom gardener; Joseph T. Bowen, A. E. Chilman gar- dener; Louis B.

Eckstrom had some huge, well flowered allamandas. He took first for three stove and greenhouse plants, with Gardenia florida, AUamanda Williams! and Brugmansia suaveolens of large size. A. K Chilman captured first and sec- ond for Begonia Rex. For the best arranged group of plants William T. Burton was this time in the lead. He used white gesneras, Franeoa ramosa and gloxinias, effectively ar- ranged with his foliage plants. Ken- neth McLean was second. Charles L. Shand had the best pair of hydrangeas in tubs, showing finely flow- ered specimens. Baskets of cut flowers are always well arranged here. For ladies only, Mrs. Louis B. McCagg won with a charming basket of white and pale blue lupines; Mrs. J. T. Bowen, second, used white and yellow antirrhinums and gypsophilas. In the open class A. W. Eckstrom took first, with a charming arrangement of pink Shirley poppies and gypsophilas. William T. Burton secured a silver EVERY DAY New, Fresh Ribbons come from our looms; tiiese are the qualities we offer. DIRECT TO THE FLORIST Lowest prices, best qualities. Samples will prove assertions, postal brings samples. THE PINE TREE SILK MILLS CO. PHILADELPHIA cup offered for the best novelty in the show, with a beautiful new creamy white gesnera. Bernard Morris took a cup offered for the best display in the outdoor flower classes, with his dahlia collection, which was well put up. T. Harrison Stiles captured a similar cup for the best vegetable display. Grapes were splendidly shown by William T. Burton, Eugene Mitchell and John Stalford, bunches five to eight pounds in weight winning in the Mus- cat and Hambro classes. Such flowers as lilies, montbretias, gladioli, hybrid tea roses and carnations were all of splendid quality. Mount Desert nurseries had a fine dis- play of their new nephrolepis, Milleri, and of montbretias, the latter including such varieties as Martagon, George Dav- idson, Prometheus, California, Vesuve, Sunbeam and King Edmund. Siebrecht & Son showed a vase of Chrysanthemum Golden Glow. Perfect weather prevailed during the show, which attracted a big attendance from the many wealthy cottagers resi- dent here. The show here differs from many others, as no money prizes are awarded. It is hoped that some finan- cial incentive may be added another year to still further stimulate competi- tion. Robert Cameron, of Cambridge, had charge of the general arrangement of the show. The judges were: Fruits and vegetables, Harry Turner, Port Washington, L. L, and E. Jenkins, Len- ox, Mass.; plants, Richard Gardner, Newport, and Howard Nicholls, Yonk- ers, N. Y.; cut flowers, William Ander- son, South Lancaster, Mass., and W. N. Craig, North Easton, Mass. On the evening of August 13, a din- ner was tendered by the Mount Desert Nurseries to the judges, exhibiting gar- deners and others at the Kebro Valley Club house. William Miller, of the Mount Desert Nurseries, acted as toast- master and addresses were made by Robert Cameron, Richard Gardner, Har- ry Turner, Edwin Jenkins, Howard Nicholls, W. N. Craig, William Ander- son, T. Harrison Stiles, C. L. Shand, W. T. Burton, Edward Kirk, Eugene Mitch- ell and a number of others. W. N. Craig. August 18, 1910.

The vines are thrifty, and the blooms come invariably in threes, and four to a stem in a well-grown piece are not hard to find. The individual flowers are of the largest size and most exquisite form. In color the flowers are of a combination diflScult to de- scribe. The ground color is an in- describable shade of cream white; the flakings and mottlings of rich delicate pink are such as to try the patience of the most experi- enced artist, if an attempt be made to copy in either oil or water colors. In this New Spencer Sweet Pea we have really the ideal for form, and know that all who are interested in Sweet Peas must realize that beauty is not to be found only in the solid or self colors. There is among Sweet Pea enthusiasts a rather natural prej- udice against striped, flaked or mottled varieties, but the color combination of Ethel Bopsevelt is bound to attract attention wher- ever grown. Three Other Superb Spencer Sweet Peas Senator Spencer Although this variety belongs in the darker colored class, the lighter background gives a mass of the blooms a sort of heliotrope effect which is most attractive. The color is a varying combina- tion of deep claret and chocolate, striped and flaked on a ground of light heliotrope. It presents a beautiful combination of tints and shows up wonderfully well under close inspection, as the dainty detailed markings are most' attractive. Is of the true Spencer form — wavy edges on both standard and wings, — large, round, fluffy stand- ard, long drooping wings. Both standard and wings are marked with the same colors and in the same way, with a trifle more of the wine shading in the wings. The stems are long, and there are four good, large, finely formed flowers on each stem. Senator is the best dark striped variety. \U T Hiitp'hinS '^'^'^ '^ ^ ^^^' ^ol^. ^^^^ Spencer of most *' • ■ • ■■•■■v»iiiii» pprfppt form and coloring. The buds show a decided bull color. The fully expanded flower has the appearance of light apricot (distinctly lemon at the throat) overlaid with a beautiful blu!«h pink. As the season advances the blush pink shading becomes rather more pronounced. The vigorous vines flower most freely, the stpms are long and carry well three or four fine flowers. Both standard and wings are wavy, ruffled and crinkled of the most advanced Spen- cer type. The flowers are of the largest size, the standard measures two inches across by one and five eightlis inches deep. The large flowers are brilliant rose-carmine or red and uniformly of true Spencer form. Tlie wings are a pure rich rose-crimson, while the standard shows a tint of cherry-red. The whole effect is that of a brilliant crimson. — clear, distinct and most t>eautiful. The standard is large, round and wavy; tbp wings are full and inclined to remain boldly outright instead of drooping. The long strong stems usually bear four flowers each. The plant Is of strong growth and very free flowering. Marie Corelli is a variety that belongs in all first dozen sets and will become one of our standard shades in Spencers. All the above three have proven satisfactory wherever grown.

Convention week opens with a hot wave, as usual. Last week was cool and showers have been frequent, so that the long strain and anxiety of the grow- ers and the gardeners is lessened and the damage will be smaller than ex- pected. Wherever we go, the mercury rises for the S. A. F. convention. "The worst week of the summer," was the declaration of wholesalers and retailers for the week just passed away — absolute lassitude, with few ship- ments and as few purchasers. It was one of the weak weeks which it is well to cover with the pall of forget- fulness. Apart from asters and gladioli, noth- ing worth mentioning is arriving, unless we except also tritomas and orchids, and the latter we now have always with us. The coming season promises to be the greatest orchid demonstration the country has ever seen. The number of large growers of this flower has in- creased rapidly during the last two years. Among the establishments at Eutherford, Summit, Secaucus, Bound Brook, Mamaroneck, Madison and New Eochelle, there is one place which now sends to the New York market more flowers than were sent by all the grow- ers less than five years ago. Fortun- ately, the shipping demand grows yearly and public taste has been educated to their appreciation. Eoses have not advanced in value during the last week. A few of the new crop are seen, but they are small and short-stemmed. Nothing but Beau- ties have sold above 3 cents and a gen- eral average would, some claim, go far below $1 per hundred. The carnations arriving remind one of the varieties of twenty years ago; none bring $10 per thousand; 50 cents per hundred is the usual offering. Lilies are down to 3 cents and under. Many were sold at $25 per thousand. Valley is improving in quality. Few asters are of high grade. The great bulk of the shipments are mediocre and hard to dispose of. The Arrival at Sochester. At 10 a. m. Monday, August 15, the New Yorkers' special convention train on the Lehigh VaUey began its delightful journey. The rainstorm of Sunday night made the temperature agreeable and laid the dust so effectually that not a moment of discomfort was experienced during the entire trip, which ended at 9 p. m., with a cordial welcome by the Eochester com- mittees and the New Yorkers who had already arrived by auto and the exhib- itors who had come by earlier trains. The number of 112 was counted on the special; a dozen came by auto and the host of exhibitors and their assistants from the big city and its suburbs made up the 200 which New York promised as its share of the appreciation due the Eochester boys for their wonderful pro- vision of entertainment. Treasurer W. C. Eickards, ably assisted by F. H. Traendly, H. A. Bunyard, E. G. Wilson, Eobert Young, Eobert Berry and Joseph Manda, dispensed sandwiches, fruit and liquid refreshments in great abundance and the dinner at the Summit house on the top of the mountains was a treat long to be remembered. After an hour and a half of banqueting and view- ing the scenery, President Miller sug- gested that the thanks of the club and its guests be tendered the transportation committee, F. H. Traendly, John Youn^- and H. A. Bunyard, for the treat so gen- erously provided, which was carried with much enthusiasm. There was much hilarity on tap, and harmless exuberancy, but the young folk? were steadied by the presence of a host of ladies and the guiding hand of the ol^x5x80 8.25 per 100 Tbis list will cancel all former lists.

About 200 of the best retailers, whole- salers, growers and seedsmen will be away from New York this week, and 500 could profitably devote this week to the convention. John A. Evans, of Richmond, Ind., sailed into New York Saturday, August 13, after a tour of Europe since June 1. He accompanied the New York mem- bers to the convention. John Lewis Childs, of Floral Park, issued an invitation to the trade to visit the gladiolus fields of the firm at his new place, Flowerfield, L. I., some fifty miles east of New York. I. S. Hendrickson, president of the Gladiolus Society, did the honors and a goodly number enjoyed the magnificent view of acres upon acres of the many new varieties, an epitome of which all are enjoying at the firm's Rochester ex- hibit. Jonathan Nash and family left Satur- 'lay for a month's sojourn at Stanford, ^^ Y., in the Catskills. Jacob & Allison, the importers, an- nounce a larger demand than usual this season for their specialties, particular- ly their grades of cape flowers, which are of finest quality and an especial bargain.

The auto trips to the convention were started Saturday evening. Provided the tires behaved, the travelers counted on being dressed and dusted in time for President Pierson's reception Tuesday evening. Robert Schultz was the life of the machine that also carried Mr. Scott, Joseph Fenrich and A. M. Hen- shaw. William Siebrecht and his Long Island Florists' Club, with his son Henry as chauffeur, went speeding toward Rochester. Outside of the auto travelers, Frank H. Traendly said Sat- urday, August 13, that the acceptances would surely total over 200 for the special train. William Ford writes from his country home at Chadds Ford, Pa., that he will be ready for business at 45 West Twen- ty-eighth street early in September. The seedsmen all seem optimistic. Travelers report good sales and in- creased demand. The outlook is most encouraging. Harry Bunyard is at the convention, following his brief and well earned rest in the mountains with his family. Ralph M. Ward Sc Co. seem thorough- ly satisfied with the outlook, and the business of this house during the last year has reached enormous proportions. Mr. Ward is completing the improve- ments this month on his handsome resi- dence at Bound Brook, N. J. The Yuess Gardens Co., of Newburgh, is making rapid progress. Large addi- tions to its glass area are under way this fall and its wholesale bulb and re- tail cut flower business has doubled in 1910. Walter Mott is now an oflBcer of the company and makes occasional trips among his friends and customers, to whom he is adding rapidly. The store, oflSces and warerooms of the firm , now take up the entire 4-story building and are all up-to-date. Mr. Mott will •attend the convention.

Anton Schultheis and family have summered at Far Rockaway and in their auto boat on the Sound.

' K" << A " Metallic Thermometer A SIZE— 8 inches taieb, 4 inches wide, 2 inches deep. Case made of cast aluminum, hishly finished. This little instrument is an accurate, fully tested thermometer showing the cor- rect temperature at all times, and combines a device which Avill ring a bell at your bedside when the greenhouse gets either too hot or too cold. The florist needs protection against the overheating of his greenliouse as well as a protection against cold. This device serves both purposes, and at the same time indicates, as previously stated, the actual temperature in his greenhouse. We guarantee that actual results will at all times be obtained. This device has been subjected to the severest tests in our laboratory for over two years, and at the same time has given entire satisfaction, under all conditions, to many users in the trade. All you have to do is to set the pointers at the highest and lowest temperatures you want, and the thermometer will do the rest. It will ring a good, loud bell when either point is reached. This device saves all worry over trouble from sudden temperature changes. Let ua send you our catalogue of styles and prices. A postal will bring it. National Clock & Eloctric Mfs.

Funeral work has been the chief factor and stock for that purpose has been in steady demand. The supply of cut flowers is limited to a few varieties. Asters, hardy hydrangeas and roses about fill the list. Carnations are hard to find, as most of the growers have replanted and the rest are getting them in as rapidly as possible. The young stock in general is looking fine, a little better than last season, and gives promise of some big crops this winter. Good roses are not plentiful. Young stock is coming on nicely. A good many of the hold-overs are being laid down. Asters are the one best bet and some good stock is to be had in quantities. Hardy hydrangeas look fine when it comes to funeral work. Gladioli are in fair supply, but in a few days will be a thing of the past. Vacations are in line. A good many of the local florists are enjoying them- selves here, there and everywhere. K. R.

CINCINNATI. The Market. None of the wholesalers report the market as extraordinarily good. Some say it is fair, others slow, depending entirely upon the varieties of stock of- fered. All stock of good quality sold readily last week and was sufficient to meet all demands, while that of me- dium and poor quality sold slowly. Asters continue to be in large supply. Almost every train into town brings one or more boxes. The first-class blooms sell and the supply equals the demand, but there is an overabundance of medium and*Bhort stock. What was said of the asters is also true of gladi- oli; the fine stock sells at fair prices, while the short-stemmed and small flowers move slowly in job lots at ridic- ulous figures. Roses clean up from day to day, but the prices have shaded slightly, owing to the large quantities of other flowers. Beauties, Maryland, Taft, Kaiserin, Jardine and Khea Eeid are of good quality, while "White Killarney is some- what off color. Few Maids are seen. There is enough of all other stock for all requirements. Easter lilies and speciosums are good property. Some valley and nymphaas are offered. The green goods market is quiet. New green galax is here. Various Notes. B. P.

J. Dan Blacklstone unsightly canal into a pretentious bow- er of beauty. He has used over 60,000 plants, 500 hanging baskets and many loads of sod. The baskets are made up mostly of Boston ferns, vincas and Sprengeri. In the beds along the stream, from Fourteenth street south to the bend and east to Elm street, various sorts of beddinp' plants were used. The general plan followed was to place can- nas immediately along the bank, then a border of geraniums and coleus and finally designs in carpet bedding in grass plots. English ivy and moonvi"es are used to cover the walla. Pvramidal arbor-vitae fill the corners. Tall bav trees line the promenade on the lower side of the canal from Plum to Flm streets. The Swiss chalet is decorated with autumn leaves and hanging bas- kets. Mr. Critchell has also built some pretty ferneries at the piers at either end of the Twelfth street bridge and at other points of vantage. Wild, hardv ferns droop over artificial springs, which are so cleverly arranged that they seem natural. A sight-seer would scarcely think that four or five inches below all these flower beds are the boulders of city thoroughfares that flank the sides of the canal. There is keen rivalry this week be- tween J. T. Conger and George & Allan for leading honors in the floricultural exhibition at the Carthage Fair.

Peas are the worst item on the short crop list. The supply of seed of the winter flow- ering sweet peas gives indications of fall- ing sh.ort of the demand. It is reported from authoritative sources in Bermuda that the shipments of Harrisii bulbs have this season been the smallest in years. The crop of Roman hyacinths has turned out short this year, and the same may be said of the French crop of Lilium candidum. T. H. Hill, for thirty years with D. Landreth Seed Co., Bristol, Pa., has taken charge of a department for the Gurney Seed Co., Yankton, S. D. The latest word from England is of good sweet pea yields, but the more im- portant crops of vegetable seeds have had a bad year to date. Paxsy seed has sold well and is still going out steadily. Florists did good business last spring with pansy plants and will start larger quantities for next season. Walter P. Stokes, Philadelphia, and S. F. Willard, Wethersfield, Conn., have returned from a two months' trip to Europe, on which they combined busi- ness and pleasure. The catalogue makers are getting busy. While it is too early to fix prices in many lines, the evident intention is to have the books ready in time. * * The early bird catches the worm." The canners are planning to use their own get-away crops of peas for next year's seed. The get-away crops were more numerous than usual this season because successional lots all came in to- gether and the packers could not handle them. Now that Freesia Purity is one of the scarce items, on account of crop failure in California, a good many growers are finding out how badly they need this variety and, incidentalh', seedsmen who took orders they cannot now fill are hav- ing their own troubles.

Tracy, in his mono- graph on seed growing just published by the Department of Agriculture. Peas require for their most profitable de- velopment a cool, moist climate, and they cannot be profitably grown in a hot, dry one, or where there is a lia- bility of such conditions occurring for even a few consecutive days. Clear, bright weather, free from drerMTBlng rains, is essential to the ripening; and curing of the seed. It not infrequently happens that because of wet and catchy weather at harvest time the seedsman fails to get any usable seed from fields of peas which had given promise of a large yield. Trhe sections where seed peas can be profitably grown are still further lim- ited by liability to injury from the pea weevil. Injury from this insect is less common north of latitude 42 to 43 de- grees than farther south, and crops grown on clay soils, particularly if they be near large bodies of water, suffer less than those grown on sandy soils. For these reasons the growing of seed peas in America is generally confined to the sections bordering on the Great I*akes and to a few locations in Wash- ington, Oregon and northern California, where the climatic conditions are fa- vorable. There is no garden vegetable in which uniformity in habit of growth and in maturing of the fruit in all the plants of a culture (a single planting of the same sort) is of greater importance than with green peas. The character of the plant and the cultural methods com- monly employed in growing it are such that the gathering of the first one or two pickings of green pods is likely to so check the growth of the plants that the later maturing pods aye decidedly 74 The Weekly Florists^ Review* AUGDST 18, 1910. . . .

Again, the good appear- ance of the pods in the basket is very dependent upon evenness of form and maturity, a comparatively slight dif- ference in the form or the age of a few pods ruining the effect of the whole. Lastly, any overripe or off-colored pea is made more conspicuous and objec- tionable by cooking. For these reasons, evenness in size of plant and in date of maturing is a more important element of value in gar- den peas than in most other vegetables. Cultural Bequirements. The pea plant, like that of the bean, is very materially influenced as to habit of growth and maturity by soil condi- tions, and in the pea changes due to this cause are transmitted through the seed seemingly with cumulative force. It is consequently very important that all of the plants of a culture for seed should be as nearly uniform in size and maturity as possible. Often a field which has been recently cleaned of forest or one which has been heavily manured will yield a large crop of seed, which, however, will not be of the best quality because of lack of uni- formity in the size and in the earliness of the producing plants. The best crops of seed peas, as re- gards both quality and quantity, can usually be grown by turning under old timothy sod on a uniform, well-drained, clay or clay-loam soil. Uniformity in character of the soil on which the crop is to be grown is not of greater im- portance than that its preparation should be such as to put it into good tilth and to make it as even and uni- form in composition and physical con- dition as possible, and the seed should be 80 planted as to secure evenness iri germination and in the growth of the young plants.

POULSEN, Seed Grower 70 Roskildevej, Copenhagen, Denmark Mention The Review when you write. No plant responds more readily to good preparation and culture of the soil than the pea, but its habit of growth and the cultural methods used are such that thorough preparation should be given before the seed is put in the ground. Not only the growth of the plant but the harvesting of the crop in good condition is very dependent upon favorable weather, and in most sections of this eountrv where seed peas are largely grown there is much more like- lihood of the early-planted crops escap- ing unfavorable conditions than those which are planted later. It is therefore very desirable that the seed should be sown as early as the ground can be put into good condition, and it will gen- erally be desirable that the field, par- ticularly if it be in sod, be plowed in late fall or early winter, which would have the further advantage of destroy- ing many cutworms and other injurious insects. The ground should be worked and the seed sown as early in the spring as possible, but one should not permit the desirability of early planting to tempt him to sow before the ground has had the best possible preparation.

We are proud to be the raisers of this striking novelty, which will supply a charming addition to the cyclamen family! The color is a lovely shade of Rose du Barri, a tone of color which so appeals to those of artistic taste, but the great attrac- tion lies in the distinct blush white margin and blush white crest on each petal, which gives an attractiveness found in no other Cyclamen, both lovely and unique. "A Masterpiece of the Hybridists' Art" is not too eulogistic a term for this latest production, which is quite fixed in character, we having been at work on the variety for many years. The plants are good growers and free flowering. Seed of this charming and unique variety now ready. In packets of ten seeds 25 cents per packet; packets of twenty seeds 40 cents per packet.

The beautiful clear salmon-pink color of the flower is even more delightful by artificial light, when it glows as does the well-known Begonia Gloire de Lorraine. The habit of the plant is compact and very free, and Low's Salmon King is undoubtedly the most beautiful of all Cyclamen. Seed in packets at 25 cents and 40 cents. (The larger size containing two of the smaller packets.) CYCLAMEN GIGANTEUM.

(The original strain as sent out by us.) A.M., R.H.S., F.C.C. Manchester; Silver Medal, Paris; Highest Award, Ghent. This beautiful plant lasts for three months in flower, forms a mass of blossom; but we would point out that there are several strains of this variety about, and that the true dwarf variety is an exceedingly shy plant to seed. The true variety when grown cool is of bushy and of dwarf habit. In packets, 16 cents and 25 cents. The packets at 25 cents contain two at 16 cents. PERPETUAL-FLOWERING CARNATION SEED. We have a limited quantity of seed over from our own sowing. The several excellent new varieties mentioned in our catalogue, raised and sent out by ourselves, are sorts obtained from seed of our own saving. In packets, 25 cents and 40 cents each. GERBERA JAMESONI (AND HYBRIDS). The "Barberton Daisy." This striking herbaceous plant produces flowers of Daisy type borne on long stout stems. The colors of the flowers vary between a bright red to the lighter shades of orange-scarlet. In addition to being a very showy herbaceous plant, Gerbera Jamesoni forms a useful subject for the hybridizer. The Hybrids are of great variety of color, varying from yellow to palest pink. It thrives best in a sandy loam, which must be well drained and open and should be covered in winter by Isaves or litter, as the plant is not hardy in exposed or wet positions. Seed in packets at 40 cents each. Young plants at 25 cents each, $1.95 per doz. Plants of floVering strength, 35 cents each, $2.90 per doz. The new fruit, the LOWBERRY. A result of the Loganberry crossed with the Black- berry. This most interesting fruit has already proved itself most valuable. A large Loganberry in appearance, of which it is the same size and shape, but unlike the Loganberry, it has no hard core or large pips, and is very delicious, very juicy, possessing the subtle flavor of the Blackberry. A great bearer and quite hardy, this new hybrid fruit will in the near future be greatly in demand for desserts, preserves and bottling purposes. Strong plants, ready now, price 50 cents each.

The quantity of seed to use to the acre will depend upon the variety and, in some cases, upon the soil and loca- tion. There is a great difference of opinion as to the quantity of seed which will give the most profitable returns, and that recommended varies from eigh- ty to 160 pounds for such small-seeded, large-vined sorts as the Admiral, and from 120 to 180 pounds for the larger- seeded, short-vined kinds like the York- shire Hero, The writer believes that the best seed can be grown by compar- atively thin seeding. In some sections of the country, from Dakota westward, pea vines show a much greater tendency to branch from the bottom than the same stocks would if planted in the east, so that in Wash- ington and California as good results can often be secured from the use of only twenty to forty pounds of seed as from the larger quantities that east- ern growers think it necessary to use. Great care should be taken to secure even distribution and covering of the seed. This can generally be accom- plished best by the use of some form of grain drill, but care should be taken to select one that will not crack the seed. It will often be desirable after sowing to run over the field with a light slanting-tooth harrow, but if this is done it should be so timed as to avoid either uncovering the seed or injuring the germinating plants. The Value of Boguing. While experience has demonstrated that it is practically impossible to ma- terially improve a stock of peas by roguing, this method is often resorted to by many growers in order to secure so-called pure stock. Eoguing is of less value with peas than with beans, because the greater number of plants to the acre and the irregularity of ar- rangement and growth make it a prac- tical impossibility to critically examine every plant, or even a large proportion CLEARANCE OFFER OF Holland Bulbs This offer being quoted as low as possible; strictly first size and true to name; no charge for cases and delivering; f. o. b. at Rotterdam.

In practice, the most that one can hope to accomplish by roguing seed peas is to prevent the stock from de- teriorating still further, the only hope of securing a pure or improved stock being in selecting and breeding from the best rather than in eliminating the poorest. While roguing should not be depend- ed upon, especially for the grow^ing of stock seed, it should not be neglected. The fields should be carefully gone over at the time when the earliest plants are passing out of bloom. Each man should take a strip of a certain width and, moving with his back to the sun, confine his attention to that strip, re- moving all of the rogues seen there and resisting the temptation to go for- aging to the right or the left; and he should return over the same strip, scan- ning it as carefully as at first, for very often a rogue which was not noticeable when looking with the sun is very evi- dent when looking in the opposite di- rection. Gathering and Curing. The commercial value of seed of gar- den peas is largely influenced by the appearance of the seed, and this is very dependent upon the conditions and the care used at the time of harvest. With many sorts it is desirable that the seed should retain a green shade, and that it may do so, as well as to prevent loss from shelling, the vines should be gath- ered as soon as the bulk of the crop is hard and before any of the ripest pods begin to shell or have been bleached by the sun. The best plan of harvesting will de- pend upon the variety grown, the weather conditions, and the kind of la- bor, and of farm machinery available. Where the low-priced labor of women and boys can be obtained, the very dwarf sorts, like American Wonder, can often be most economically gath- ered by h?;ind into bunches of two to four cubic feet. The next larger-sized sorts can be gathered with a sharp hoe, a short scythe, or a pea rake into bunches of about the same size. The larger-vined sorts can be rolled into bunches' of four to eight cubic feet with a short scythe or cut with a mower carrying pea guards on the cutting bar, so as to raise the vines and prevent cutting the pods, and then be gathered into windrows or bunches. While in the field, the bunches should be turned every two or three days and after every rain, in order to hasten the curing and to prevent the rotting or the bleaching of the seed. In order to avoid loss of color or injury from rain, it is desirable that the vines be well stacked or put into barns as soon as they are so dry that they will not mold or spoil in the mow. The vines should remain in the mow until they are well cured and can be easily and convenient- ly thrashed. The smaller-vined sorts can usually be thrashed most economically by flails. The larger-vined varieties are best thrashed by an ordinary bean thrasher with part of the concave teeth removed, but it should be so managed and run as to prevent splitting the peas. Skil- ful handling of the thrasher is quite as important with peas as with beans. Yield to the Acre.

It often happens that through a little de- lay in harvesting from ten to forty per cent of the seed is lost through shelling in the field. Again, a few days of rainy weather may cause the loss of even the entire crop through sprouting and rotting in the field. Last- ly, there may be a very heavy loss through the splitting of the seed in thrashing. The yield also varies great- ly with the variety. Under favorable conditions one may hope to harvest from ten to thirty bush- els to the acre, and the most productive sorts may yield up to sixty bushels un- der favorable conditions. Seedsmen generally contract on a basis of a re- turn of from five to eight times the quantity of seed planted, this basis al- lowing for the total' failure of some of the plantings. The prices paid for growing seed peas vary greatly with the variety and run from #70 to 95 cents a bushel for some of the easiest grown sorts, after a few years of full crops to $1.75 to $2.50 for the dwarfer vined and less productive sorts after a few seasons of light yields. The comon unit for measurement for peas is the- same as for beans, i. e., a bushel of sufficient wdighisto leave sixty, pounds after the necessary\ cleaning and hand picking. There is a greater dif- ference in the weight of the same bulk of different varieties of peas than of beans. Some of the wrinkled sorts weigh only fifty pounds to -the bushel, while the smaller, smooth sorts weigh from fifty-eight to sixty-four pounds. Clean, bright seed is desirable, but it is not so essential as with beans. Any conspicuous injury from the pea weevil or other insects or any discoloration or splitting of the skins in the field or of the grains in thrashing is regarded ar, justifying the rejection of the crop as not suitable for seedsmen's use. Seedsmen seldom are obliged to reject because of poor germination, otherwise acceptable lots of peas grown on con- tract. A liroperly-cleaned sample will rarely show less than eighty-five or ninetv per cent of viability shortly after" harvest, though where the plants have been seriously injured by lice or in some other way the seed sometimes loses in viability quite rapidly. With peas variations due to soil and cultural conditions are transmitted through the seeds, so that care should be taken to grow stock to be used for seed on soils which are uniformly favor- able for the best development of the particular variety. Feas are also more liable than beans to crossing through the action of wind or of insects, and for this reason it is not wise to grow stocks of different sorts side by side. Thev should be either isolated or locat- ed an a field of the purest available stock of the variety. COBN FOS MISSOUSI. A five years' series of tests of field /^ corn, conducted by the Missouri Agri- cultural Experiment Station, indicates that "for the entire state, Boone Coun- ty "White easily leads as the highest yielding and most popular variety, espe- cially on lands above the average in fertility.

Mr. Eiley selected a smaller, earlier maturing ear than was prevalent in the White Mastodon and as a result of persistent work he secured earlier maturity, deepened the grain and in- creased the proportion of corn to cob. The new variety was named after the originator's home county, Boone County White. About three years after Mr. Eiley put this variety out among the farmers, O. G. Block, of Champaign county, Illinois, began breeding it. He is perhaps the best known breeder of this corn after its originator. By this work Mr. Block deepened the kernel materially, in- creased the roughness and also the cir- cumference in proportion to the length. The Missouri standard for this variety calls for ears ten and one-half to eleven inches long and seven an;1 one-half to oight inches in circumference. They are cylindrical, or nearly so, in shape, hav- ing straight rows which number from sixteen to twenty on the average. The spacing between the rows is of medium width. The butts are fairly large at the shank and only moderately rounded. The tips are blunt, with a tendency toward good kernels extending well out to the end. The cob is rather large. The kernels are medium to wide, rather thick and of medium depth. They have slightly curved sides, a square shoulder at the tip and are pearly white in color. The germ is generally large and bright, extending well up into the kernel. The indentation varies accord- ing to the breeder from a smooth elon- gated dimple to a short beak.

FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO., S^'^SL^^l: CHICAGO The Boone County White is a medium late-maturing variety, requiring from 120 to 125 days for complete ripening. The stalks are strong and thick and grow to an average height of about eight and one-half feet for the state. The stalks are medium leafy and make good silage and fodder. The corn ma- tures well in the field, with an excep- tionally high per cent of marketable corn. THE CHOPS. Crop conditions are better in New England than elsewhere.

I am about to rebuild a greenhouse and wish to use concrete for the side and end walls. Can you tell me the quantities of cement, sand and stone to use? Please state the thickness of the wall and whether it should be re- inforced. Also state how to make ce- ment slabs for tables, to be used in- stead of 2-inch plank, F. E. The usual thickness for solid walls is from six to nine inches. There is no necessity for reinforcement, either on walls or corners, at this thickness. The proportions are: -Stone, seven parts; Atlas cement, one; or, stone, six parts; cement, one. To make a nice finish, the walls should get a coating of finer ma- terial, such as the following: Cement, one part; fine, clean sand, four parts. Cement slabs for benches should be made in molds, and at the thickness mentioned they should be reinforced with strong wire netting or strands of wire. Make the molds just the size the slabs are wanted and knock out when the cement is sufficiently set to bear handling. Proportions: Sand, six parts; cement one. Eibes.

It would not be fair to say that busi- ness is booming. Still, when it is con- sidered that we are in the midst of the mouth when the florists' business in the cities is usually at a standstill, it is fair to say that business is good. Many visitors en route to the conven- tion were in the city and of course we always like to be busy and make a good showing when strangers are in town. The supply of stock is also good, making it still more of a pleasure to do work. Koses are of good quality and, while they are not plentiful, the supply is equal to the demand. Asters are im- proving in quality and becoming more plentiful. Lancifolium lilies are being used by the thousands in funeral work. Greens of all kinds are plentiful. Vaxious Notes.

Fetters intend visiting some of the large eastern cities, including Bos- ton, New York and Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Matthews, of Dayton, are also planning an extended eastern trip. If the trees in this city are still in- fested with the tussock moth and tent caterpillar next season it will not be the fault of our local park board. No effort is being spared to rid the city of these tree exterminators. Gangs of men may be seen anywhere, burning the cocoons with torches. Ferdinand Beyer, for several years gardener at the asylum at Eloise, Mich., gave up his position last July. At pres- ent he is in the employ of the park board. President-elect George E.

Yates, Rochester. N. Y. Thirty-sixth an- nual meeting, St. Louis, June 1911, Lew Smoots is conducting a prosper- ous nursery business near Springfield, Mo., where his brother, John Smoots, also has a farm. The majority of the customs reap- praisements of imports of nursery stock this season have been simply advances by the addition of packing charges. The government insists that duty be paid on the packing. At the Oak Hill Nurseries, in Frank- lin, Mass., owned by M. T. Twomey, a building and its contents, including a horse, carriages, hay, nursery stock, etc., were completely destroyed by fire August 7. The loss was estimated at $5,000, with only partial insurance. Manager Timothy Buckley, George Boucher and three others were sleeping in chambers on the upper floor, but all escaped by" jumping from windows. EVILS OF THE EEPLACE POLICY. [A paper read by J. R. Mayhew, of Waxa- Uachie, Tex., before the American Association of Nurserymen at the Denver convention, con- tinued from the Review of August 11.] After reviewing the reason for taking up the question of policy in replacing stock at less than full price, and its effect on the customer, also on the sales- man, Mr. Mayhew continued: The Effect on Deferred Payments. We may preach settlement in cash all we deem advisable, but, neverthe- less, a certain per cent of each year's business will continue to be settled by note, sometimes A/ell secured, but more frequently by plain note of hand and always of questionable value. Espe- cially is this true of all southern terri- tory, where the farmer depends largely on one crop that is available as a source of money in the fall or winter. Is it true that the policy of replace influences the worth of your bills re- ceivable? Unquestionably it does. In the first place, orders settled by note one year after date represent the hard collections. You do not take a note because you want the paper; neither does the customer give the note because he wants your goods. It is a matter of compromise on the part of both. Your collector is pressed for time, can A BLUE ROSE The Greatest Rose Novelty of the Century It flowered with us this sea« son and was greatly admired.

Neither party is satisfied with the settlement. In the course of events this note comes due. You send it to the bank for collection, and the customer is ad- vised of this procedure. In a large ma- jority of instances the note is returned to you endorsed "No attention to no- tice." Now the tug of war begins. After you have written your debtor re- peatedly and every manner of settle- ment is proposed, you suggest court pro- cedure, etc. It does not move Mr. Cus- tomer, for he is hiding behind a promise to replace free of cost or at one-half price the goods for which you hold his note. I wonder how many of you ever received a letter like this: "Them trees you fellers sent me air all ded. Yore agent promised to replace 'em and I've got 3 livin' witnesses. You sen' me my note fur I don't want no more of yore trees. It has been to dry fur trees to live out here any way," etc. Maybe, if he is above the average man, he will come at you with a propo- sition to settle on the one-half basis, figuring that you can as well afford to settle on this basis as to replace his goods at one-half the purchase price. Or he^ may promise to pay the note when you replace free every dead tree, always after the stock has been shipped by prepaid freight or express. When a liberal proposition like this comes, we accept it without hesitancy, compli- menting ourselves on having made a good trade, and we have. If this ob- jectionable feature of contracts were eliminated and the customer were made to feel the goods represented by his note were worth 100 cents on the dol- lar, I verily believe our bills receivable account would enhance in value twenty- five per cent.

The Market. There has been little change in the market conditions since last week. We are hungry for really good asters, for strictly first-class stock is scarce. Quan- tities of medium and small asters are crowding the market and can be had at one's own figure. The growers say, however, that in just a few days the first of the late-crop asters will be ready. Gladioli are sufl^ering from the dry weather and those arriving are small; just a few fancy ones are seen. Good America are scarce. Eoses are good and finding a fair demand. Beauties are moving out satisfactorily. Various Notes. The following left for the convention Monday morning, August 15, via the New York Central, traveling in a pri- vate parlor car: Fred Burki, Albert Burki, P, S. Randolph, Paul Eandolph, Stewart Randolph, E. C. Keineman, William Loew, Aug. Frishkorn, John Jones, E. C. Ludwig, Mrs. E. C. Lud- wig, De Forest Ludwig, J. W. Ludwig and Mrs. J. W. Ludwig. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. will change the location of its store Octo- ber I, moving to a new building at 121 Seventh street. This location is cen- tral, handy to all downtown retailers and only a short distance from the Allegheny retail florists. Bay Page is at Chautauqua Lake, N. Y. Allen Langhans is on a canoe trip on the St. Lawrence river. Edward Ludwig has returned from Silver Lake, O. W. A. Clarke sends greetings from Mackinac Island, Mich. Frank Faulk is automobiling in Penn- sylvania. H. E. Klunder, of Eandolph & Mc- Clements, leaves for the east and New England states. Miss Kelley, of the same company, will spend two weeks at Atlantic City. James Higgins, of Mrs. E. A. Will- iams' staff, will take up farm life for two weeks. L. SEASONABLE STOCK 2'3-ln .

There will be a good program of games and other sports, and prizes will be awarded. Arrangements have been made for boating and fishing and a general good time. Good bowling al- leys will be at the disposal of the florists. The committee of arrange- ments consists of President George Swoboda, Lewis Henderson, P. B. Floth and George Soransen, whose names are a guarantee of good manage- ment. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Henderson went to Chicago on Monday, August 8, to attend the conclave of the Knights Templar, and spent the whole week in that city, returning home on Sunday evening. While in Chicago, Mr. Hen- derson gave an order to the Foley Mfg. Co. for material for a new violet house, 26x100, and a propagating house, 12x 100. Mr. Henderson remodeled his heat- ing system last year, and installed a new boiler which has plenty of extra capacity to take care of the added glass. Mr. Hess, of Hess & Swoboda, has been away, in company with his family, for a few weeks' vacation, spending part of the time with relatives in Mich- igan. Among recent visitors in this city were A. Lange and family, of Chicago, who came here July 18 and spent about three weeks at Mrs. Lange 's former home, returning to Chicago on Monday, August 8.

Place your order with us right now and start at once doing your grading and digging of holes for the concrete post footings. While you are doing this, our big factory, with it» modern methods and up-to-date equipment, will be turning out your mater- ials, and when you are ready for them they will be ready for you.

For heating the greenhouse and dwell- ing a hot water heater with a rating of about 600 square feet of radiation will be needed. In the greenhouse use two 2-inch flows and eight 2-inch re- turns. The question does not give the height of the rooms in the dwelling or the num- ber and size of the windows, but about fifty square feet of radiating surface will probably be required for each room.

There should be plenty of room for the expansion tank in the gable of the potting room, although a little more ele- vation would be desirable. For a house 21x78 feet, with two feet of glass in each side, it will be ad- visable to use three 2i^-inch flow pipes and twelve 2-inch returns for 60 de- grees, or three flows and eight returns for 50 degrees.

Application for a charter of incorpo- ration was recently filed by the Cum- mings Co., of this place. The incorpora- tors are W. W. Cummings, P. B. Cum- mings, A. H. George, E. L. Carter, J. M. McBeath, H. F. Broach, Jr., and A. S. Bozeman. The amount of capita) stock is $30,000; "provided, however, that said company may organize and begin business when $5,000 capital stock shall be subscribed and paid in. ' ' This is the outcome of a small busi- ness started a little over seven years ago by Frank Cummings, Sr., then 76 years old, who had considerable ex- perience as a florist. It was afterwards enlarged under the title of the Frank Cummings Bulb and Plant Co. Soon after the death of Frank Cummings, Sr., which occurred a little over two years ago, the business was taken in charge by F. B. Cummings under the supervision of his father, W. W. Cum- mings. It has grown rapidly under tneir administration and has now reached the point where, with increased capital, they feel assured that a large business will be the result of their efforts. They have built up a splendid mar- ket for their products among the larger wholesale firms of the north, as well as a retail catalogue business of no mean proportions. At their nurseries, about one-half mile north of this city, there are acres upon acres of flowers in full bloom. Bochelle, 111. — Augustus Gaspers, who began business here in 1878 as a gar- dener, nurseryman and florist, has greenhouses and grounds on North Sixth street, which are in excellent con- dition and constitute one of the at- tractions for visitors to the town. Savannah, 111. — J. Y. Lambert & Son recently decorated the first prize auto- mobile for a parade of these vehicles. They used Sprengeri for green, with roses of various colors, 2,000 in all, with bows and streamers of 6-inch chif- fon, and some pampas plumes. Mr. Lambert, Jr., says that if automobile decorators will make more use of the pampas plumes they will find them to be about the showiest article in the florists' stock.

Now, In regards to your "Grape Dust," I must say that when I first heard of it I had but little faith in it, because I had tried all the remedies for Mildew I had ever heard of, but they were of little value. It seems that my location favors Mildew especially. When other Florists are but little troubled, my houses are generally well covered with the Mil- dew, so when I sent for the first keg of "Grape Dust" my Roses were almost worthless, but since using the "Grape Dust" my Roses are the "Picture of Health." There is not a vestige of Mildew to be seen on my place, and my Roses fetch double the price; besides, I have saved a month of firing, which I used to be compelled to do to kill Mildew.

NEW BEDFOBD, MASS. The Market. Trade remains about the same as usual. There is not much doing out- side of funeral work, but that is plen- tiful. Asters are the flowers that are principally depended on just now; there is a good supply of them and the qual- ity also is satisfactory. Queen of the Market is the sort that is most gen- erally grown in this vicinity. Carna- tions are about played out, and those that are left are poor and small. Asters retail at 35 cents per dozen. Roses are still coming in; they retail at $1 to $1.50 per dozen. Gladioli are also good now; they sell at $1 per dozen for the best. There are also plenty of outdoor flowers, such as zin- nias, marigolds, phloxes, etc., for use in making up bouquets. Sweet peas are not up to the usual quality, as it has been rather dry for them, but the re- cent rains will revive them consider- ably. These sell at 50 cents per hun- dred blooms. Various Notes.

The insecticide Tliat Kills Plant Lice of Every Species. Endorsement of this wonderful Insecticide is now universal. It has no equal. It has demonstrated its merits by numberless tests. "We are shipping it daily to every State in the Union. Its field has extended to Canada, South America and Europe. The leading gardeners endorse it everywhere. The agricultural colleges are loud in its praises. Here are just a few testimonials from hundreds of those who have tested and tried it, and have not found it wanting: I can honestly recommend Aphine to kill green fly, black fly, white fly, brown scale, white scale, Belgium scale, red spider, thrips and mealy bug, if the directions are followed carefully and the spraying or dipping done thoroughly, and as far as 1 can tell does not injure the tenderest foliage. (Signed) Yours truly, James Whiting, Foreman Department of Floriculture, Massachusetts Agricul- tural College, Amherst, Mass. Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, Cal., May 13, 1910. "We have thoroughly tested out Aphine on plants grown In the open and And it most effective for such work, as it eradicates all scale and aphis, for which I can strongly recom- mend it. Our outside roses in Golden Gate Park were badly infested with aphis. With the first application of Aphine the pest was entirely destroyed." (Signed) John McLaren, Supt. Fern-Croft Farm, Concord, N. H., May 8, 1910. "Received the Aphine and gave it a good test. As I wrote you before, my 'mums' were literally covered with lice, but that is a thing of the past. I regard Aphine practically as an insurance against insects and I shall not be without it In the future." (Signed) H. D. Whitney, Prop. "The Aphine received from you has been thoroughly tested and proved to be a most effective exterminator of all such in- sects to which ferns are subjected. If your preparations are of uniform strength, a solution of 1 to 15 will be safe on the most delicate ferns." J. F. Anderson, Fern Specialist. Short Hills, N. J. "After using your product for the past three months, find that it has effectively killed all the green and black fly on double and single violets in our bouses without injuring in the least the flowers or even tender center leaves. We sprayed our young sweet pea vines, which were badly Infested with green fly, and that one application has cleaned out every aphis visible to date. Wc have placed order for ten gallons Aphine with your local agents to keep on hand, as we cannot afford to be short should another crop of fly appear." J. H. Slocombb. New Haven, Conn. "I have made a careful test of your insecticide upon several different plants that were Infested with green fly, red spider and scale, and In every case It completely destroyed the pests In question, with no apparent harm to the plants treated, al- though some of them were in a soft growing condition, most susceptible to Injury from such preparations." A. Herhinoton, Supt. Florham Farms Park Dept., Florbam Park, N. J. L Aphine meets all the requirem-ints of the largest commercial growers to those of the smallest gardener. It suits the greenhouse demands, and also those of the small house plants. Aphine is an insecticide that can be safely applied to vegetables of all kinds. It has been proven effective against the cabbage worm, the melon louse, and many other insects and blights injurious to truck products. Aphine is sold in four sizes.

There is a grasshopper plague in Mon- tana, and the nursery and greenhouse men are having difficulty in keeping the pest away from their stock. The severe drought in the state is also play- ing havoc with all agricultural business. Dry farming has been annihilated. The numerous forest fires are adding to the general distress, and rain would be most welcome on every hand. A Visit to Butte. Eecently the writer, accompanied by Mr. Hocking, foreman of the fine new range of the State Nursery Co., visited Butte and called on the various florists there. We were cordially received by all. Bayard T. Manlove 's place is in good shape and he is making headway all the time. His cold storage is perhaps the best in the city. The fine store of the Butte Floral Co. contained some splendid specimens of grower Henrichsen 's carnations. At the greenhouse of this firm, where potted plants are largely grown, the staff of men were found on the roof, but the foreman found time to talk to us and tell us all that was worth knowing. At the store of Hansen & Co. some structural alterations were being made, to meet increasing trade. At the Columbia Gardens, which are among the finest examples of the land- scape man's work in the state, V. Siegel and his staff gave us a good time and we found his tuberous be- gonias and calceolarias in great shape. The Columbia Gardens are the prop- erty of W. A. Clark, and he certainly spares no expense on it. In the great western mining town it seemed part of another world. Time was when Butte's one tree con- sisted of a dead stump. Today, due largely to the proximity of the State Nursery, it has quite a number of gar- dens beautified by Carolina poplars and other trees, and the popular allusion to Butte as an absolute wilderness is now quite as untrue as it is unkind. The State Nursery Co. will be well repre- sented at the first show of the Helena Horticultural Association, which will be held August 26 and 27. In connection with this show there is no lack of en- thusiasm, and the prizes and entrants are numerous. W. J. H. Money in Violets, by Saltford, sent by The Review for 25 cents.

At present I am head gardener at a large northern institution, but I have been wondering lately what my chances of success would be if I were to go to New Orleans, Mobile or some other city near the Gulf coast and start business as a grower of carnations and other stock for cut flowers. I understand, of course, that the cultural methods must be entirely different there from what they are here, and I am aware that car- nation growing in the far south is still in what might be called an experimental stage. Can you tell me just what has already been accomplished in that line, and what is the outlook for the future? H. D. C. As to growing carnations and other cut flowers around New Orleans and Mobile, we southerners must admit that we have never given the carnations a fair trial, but we expect they will do just as well as the roses if given the proper houses and careful attention. Before we had made a success of growing roses under glass, everybody said they could not be grown as well as up north, and so it is with carnations and all other plants. We now believe that anything and everything can be grown here, with the proper houses, good water and the right , attention. Carnations will require open houses, with plenty of side ventilation and proper attention. Outside they will not do, unless planted on high land, well prepared with cow peas, well drained and kept free from weeds. Outdoor roses do well and generally bloom ten months out of the twelve. Chrysanthemums, gardenias, asters, cos- mos, dahlias, tuberoses, gladioli, lilies, narcissi, hyacinths and other bulbs, flowering shrubs, most annuals and perennials and most other flowers can be grown here in their proper season.

The Weekly Florists' Review. 123 "Electric" vs. Ordinary Rubber Hose for Florists THIS is what happens when you try to kink "Electric" Greenhouse Hose. You simply can't do it. The processes of manufacture of this hose are protected by basic patents and are so perfect and thorough that it positively will not crack, split, burst or kink. This is the way we do it: A jacket of heavy cotton seine twine is braided — braided, mind you, not wrapped — over a tube of pure rubber. Next, a second tube of rubber — same quality — is put on over the cotton jacket. Another mantle of seine tw^ine is braided around the second tube. A third tube — corru- gated lengthwise — is put on over the second cotton jacket. Each of the five alternating sections of rubber and of cotton is a complete hose in itself. The hose is then encased in metal tubes, or moulds, 500 feet long. Liquid under high pressure is put inside the hose and locked in. The whole is then placed in a sealed oven and live steam turned on. This steam heats the liquid, causing it to expand and force the hose against the metal tube. A pressure of 500 pounds to the square inch is applied. The rubber tubes and the braided cotton jackets are amalgamated or vulcanized by the pressure; converted into a single or unified fabric of mingled rubber and cotton. This shows the construction of " Electric " Greenhouse F . ~.:-^;^-'m^^i^[ ^iT^ Hose an< 1 demonstrates the process describe >d above. Before it leaves our factory, every foot of " Electric " Hose is tested by a water pressure of 400 pounds to the inch. Ordinary pressure used by Florists for syringing is 40 to 60 pounds— and frequently bursts ordinary hose, which requires numerous patches like this: 'Electric," made as described above, will outwear, three to one, a hose of ordinary, "lapwelded" construction. This is why you should ALWAYS USE "ELECTRIC" HOSE Not the cheapest, but THE LEAST EXPENSIVE for Florists For Sale by all Florists' Supply and Seed Houses Electric Hose & Rubber Co.

During the last few years many peo- ple in this part of northern Texas have been ordering winter cabbage plants from the east and planting them in, the field in December. We have seen these plants stand zero weather without dam- age. We should like to grow a lot of these, but do not know where to procure seed that will produce hardy plants. Can you give us the desired information? Please state, also, when seed should be planted to be ready for the December market. H. & H. There is no difference in the seed sown to produce these so-called hardy cabbage plants. H. & H. may order from any reliable seedsman any variety that his locality requires, and save the expense of buying the plants. The plants are in reality no hardier than others, grown anywhere else and hard- ened off. The seed should be sown about September 1 to 15, to have plants ready for December setting. The home-grown plants will be just as good and quite as hardy as eastern plants. VEGETABLE GROWERS TO MEET. George E. Eowe, editor of the Fruit Grower, published at Grand Bapids, is chairman of the committee that has charge of the arrangements for the third annual convention of the Green- house Vegetable Growers' and Market Gardeners' Association of America, which will be held in Grand Bapids the last week in September. He says: "We are planning the biggest con- vention ever held. While there were approximately 300 present at the meet- ing last year in Ashtabula, we expect to have over 500 present at the meeting in Grand Bapids. A splendid program is being prepared. The ablest men in America will discuss the subjects of greatest interest to market gardeners and greenhouse vegetable growers. "Besides having an opportunity of visiting cne of the most beautiful cities in the United States and the home of the famous Grand Bapids lettuce, Davis bean. Grand Bapids Forcing tomato, etc., visitors will come into contact with and exchange thought with the most progressive growers of the day. "We wish to know at your earliest convenience if we can count on you being present. If you wish to make an exhibit, let us know the amount of space you will require, so that we may be able at an early date to make the necessary arrangements.

A BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF OUR ESTABLISHMENT PRACTICALLY ALL GROWERS NOW REALIZE THAT BY FAR THE BEST MATERIAL FOR GREENHOUSE BENCHES IS PECKY CYPRESS It is like any other cyprefls 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 thou- sand feet. Consequently 10,000 feet will make a min- imum 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 lum- ber 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 Weekly Florists^ Review, 9 I THE RETAIL FLORIST.. A CABBONE WBEATH. You know how it was with Topsy: she "just growod. " That's the way a certain style of flower arrangement comes to be the favorite and character- istic style at a flower store: it just grows upon the workers. At the well- known Carbone store in Boston wreaths of the character illustrated on this page are turned out bo frequently as to have become characteristic. Of course the variety is infinite, so that monotony or even similarity is avoided; simply a wreath of green is embellished with a bunch of foliage and flowers of har- monious kinds. An the picture there are pandanus and croton leaves with cypripediums, which is a classy combi- nation and not at all on the cheap or- der, either in appearance or in cost to the retaDer, except that the foliage from unsalable plants can be used, thereby getting a salvage on what oth- erwise might be lost. Croton foliage, brignt in color, is useful to the retail florist in a great variety of ways, in baskets of plants, in table centerpieces and in designs; it might well be em- ployed more often than it is. FASTENING FLOWEBS TO PEWS. Can you give me any information as to the method used in fastening flowers to church pews for weddings? I know that, as in all work of this character, it is not permissible to use anything that would injure the wood in any way, and I should like to know if the wire arrangements advertised in some of our supply books are used. Any information you can give me will be appreciated. A. D. C. You are right. In floral decorating it is not advisable to injure in any way either woodwork, wall paper, tap- estry, moldings or, in fact, any part of the home or church. Of course there are times when it is next to impossible to fasten garlands, arches, etc., without in some way getting a hold by driving nails or screws, and if the holes left after removal of the nails are going to show badly, then I would suggest that the people for whom the work is being done be informed before going ahead. Church pews are in most instances made of wood, and are often so finely finished that every little scratch will show. The ends, to which the flowers are fastened, are usually of such a shape that it is hard to draw a piece of string tight enough to hold anything, as the string persists in slipping off. But, on the other hand, the pews are usually fashioned after some old style of architecture and have some carving. A finely pointed tack or push pin, driven into some of the crevices of the carving or where the end of the pew is joined to the seat itself, will leave no mark after being removed and will aid in keeping a wire or string in place. I have never known that any special articles were advertised or placed on the market for fastening decorations to church pews, but if you will go to a hardware store and get some iron clamps, such as are used by carpenters and joiners for holding boards together while being glued, you will find them just suited to your purpose. By using these clamps you can clamp a board to hid with either some smilax or othei green used in the decoration, or with ribbon. H. S. MEETING THE LOCAI. DEMAND. We noted in The Eeview of August 11, page 11, the inquiry of a reader who thinks he will be compelled to give up part of his business, on account of lack of available space, and who is in doubt as to which branch of the trade he ought to abandon — the cut flower and design work or the growing and selling of bedding plants. The inquirer states that he is located in a town of 20,000 inhabitants, has about 12,000 feet of glass, and does a business of $10,000 to $12,000 per year. He says that his local trade would not use all the plants he could grow in his entire range and that some wholesaling would be necessary, while, on the other hand.

Be sure you place some soft materia! between the clamps and the finely fin- ished woodwork, or you will be no bet- ter off than before. These clamps can be obtained in various sizes, and should not be too large — just large enough to fit over the end of the pew. After being put in place, the clamp can be he would still be obliged to buy some cut flowers, even if he dropped the plant business. Our opinion would be that he ought, by some means, to increase his glass area so as to be able to supply the demand of his market in all branches. If he fails to do that, someone else will do it and will csewd him out. Several seasons ago we tried to drop 8 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Ai(irsT -jr.. 101(». U KNOW US!

To do a business of $12,000 a year in a town of 20,000, with 12,000 feet of glass, is better than we ever before heard of, and the inquirer would better stick to his present course. The Windmiller Co. f •fer^j-fe^-fer^^H^, CONVENTION AFTERMATH i^^s^^ ^•aMa^:a^a=s#^ i^:^ THE CLOSING SESSION. As delegates to the Second National Conservation Congress, which meets at St. Paul, September 5, the president appointed J. C. Vaughan, Theodore Wirth, H. E. Philpott, O. Holm and H. C. Irish. The committee on school gardens, as a committee, had done nothing, but its chairman, Benjamin Hammond, and W. B. Du Rie, one of its members, who has been a school teacher forty years, take a great deal of interest in the work, and each presented a report on the present status of the movement. Eobert Kift, Philadelphia, sent a let- ter calling atention to Mothers' day as of great value to florists, and, on motion of W. R. Smith, resolutions were adopted rendering to Miss Anna Jarvis "this our public recognition" of the debt the craft and the nation owe to Jier for the idea. The committee on final resolutions — Walter Sheridan, J. K. L. M. Farquhar and P. Welch — presented resolutions ex- pressive of the society's appreciation of the splendid welcome and thanking those who provided the excellent facili- ties. Those mentioned in the resolu- tions were the Rochester Florists' Club, the mayor, the Chamber of Com- merce, F, W. Vick, C. H. Vick and the ladies' committee. The report closed with these words: "The society recog- nizes the present convention as one of the best in its history," and was unani- mously adopted. Various Notes. The insurgents were in the saddle. The proposed amendments to the con- stitution had short shrift. H. M. Altick, Dayton, O., is the champion gunner. He carried off all three of the individual first prizes in the convention contest at the traps, winning $60 in gold. The Ladies ' S. A. F. is in affluent circumstances. The treasurer's report showed $337.22 in the bank. An appro- priation of $50 was made for a special prize to be offered at tlie National Flower Show. H. A. Bunyard made the speech pre- senting to Supt. C. H. Vick the exhib- itors' testimonial of appreciation for his efficiency and consideration. The gift was a gold watch — a little beauty — suitably inscribed. H. B. Beatty sent the following tele- gram from Atlantic City to John West- cott: "Mrs. Beatty joins me in best wishes to our friends and yourself. May you all have the bestest of best times. ' ' The Ladies' S. A. F. had an infor- mal affair at the Hotel Seneca, Thurs- day night, at which the songs of Miss Perle B. Fulmer were a feature. The ladies' organization has added im- mensely to the social side of the con- ventions. The Hail Association has lost so much money on single thick glass that it is proposed to raise the rate on it to 10 cents. A year will be required to make the necessary change in its by-laws. A large proportion of the visitors found time to visit the nursery of EUwanger & Barry, where everything looks as if it were a well-kept public park. The roses were a center of in- terest, but there were innumerable specimen trees and shrubs to admire and many things not ordinarily seen in a commercial place. One of the exhibitors suggests that entry blanks be handed to each one purchasing space, to give all a chance at the society's awards on novelties. Several were so busy staging their ex- hibits that they overlooked the for- mality of entering their new things until after the judges had made their rounds, after which it was too late. When the American Association of Nurserymen visited Denver in June J. A. Valentine entertained a party of them ait dinner, so at Rochester they squared accounts by giving a spread in his honor at the Hotel Rochester. C. L. Yates and Jas. McHutchison were the leaders. Friday morning about 300 of the vis- itors were taken in special cars for a hurried trip to the trial grounds and seed farm of James Vick's Sons, a few miles outside the city. There was not sufficient time to do more than note the air of perfect order and neatness everywhere about the place. There had been a heavy rain the night before, which had knocked down some of the crops, but which was welcomed by the plants, for it has been an exceptionally dry season at Rochester, as elsewhere. The farm is beautiful rolling land and there is almost everything growing on it but weeds — not one of these could be found unless one counted the abun dant supply of "weeds" from Havana. President Pierson was immensely pleased with his gavel, the presenta- tion of which took him entirely by surprise. It was a beauty, of solid ivory, with a silver band inscribed, "Presented to F. R. Pierson, president of the Society of American Florists, by friends of the New York Florists' Club." Not many have seen Mr. Pier- son at a loss for words to express his thoughts, but when E. G. Hill presented the silver service at the closing session, as the recipient later said, "He laid it .^ ^^.

Among all the ■ faithful members of the local committees who labored both in season and out to contribute to the success of the various contests, none is deserving of more praise than Albert F. Vick, chairman of the bowling commit- tee. By personal solicitation Mr. Vick secured the donation of thirteen of the prizes offered in the bowling contests, as well as substantial concessions from the management of the alleys. E. H. Vick, who won a diamond pin in the shooting contest, is the proudest man in Eochester. He says he "hadn't pulled a trigger in twenty years. ' ' THE OUTINQ AT MANITOU. Nearly a thousand visitors, local flo- rists and persons interested in allied lines, boarded the first cars for Manitou Beach at 11 o'clock on Friday morning. -Some 300 returned from the Vick seed farm excursion just in time to catch the last of the special cars, and nearly every car during the afternoon brought some who were detained in the city by business. The florists' stores and Cros- man's and Vick's seed stores closed during the afternoon, thus permitting all employees to enjoy the outing with the visitors. Immediately after lunch, J. M. Keller rounded up his ball team, and the after- noon 's sports opened with a game be- tween picked men from the S. A. F. and the Eochester association. Here, as on all other occasions, the Eochester boys showed a generous spirit and al- lowed the visitors to win by a score of 23 to 4. Edward S. Osborne, of Eoches- ter, called the strikes and balls. The members of the winning team were C. J. Graham, Cleveland; Jos. Manda, New Yjork; H. D. Scott, Buffalo; W. H. Carney, Pittsburg; G. C. Shaffer, Wash- ington; D. W. Ludwig, Pittsburg; A. Swan, Philadelphia; C. W. Curtis, Oliver Boucher, Eochester. The various sports were run off under the direction of J. M. Keller, with George C. Crosman and diehard (i. Salter as judges. The winners and prizes follow: Snail race — W. H. Carney, Pittsburg, um- brella; A. R. Luetehford, Rochester, cigars. Backward race— W. H. Carney, Pittsburg, umbrella. Pipe race — George Robinson. Montreal, cigars; Edward Reld, Philadelphia, pipe. Elephant race — George Prevost, Edward Swartzenburg. Rochester, cigars; George Cra- mer, John VoUamer, Rochester, cigars.

Ladles' 50-yard dash — Mrs. Edna Clinch, Buf- falo, hand-painted vase; Mrs. A. Zirkman, Philadelphia, hand-painted dish. Girls' 50-yard dash — Ruth Tickner, Rochester, picture; Catherine Salter, Rochester, nail file. Boys' 50-yard dash — Waiter Lavlgne, Roches- ter, military brushes; Roland Poehlmanu, Chi- cago, watch. Shoe race — Fred Thomann, Rochester, um- brella; George Smith, Rochester. Blind men's race — Edward Swartzenburg, Rochester, traveler's watch. Ball-tossing contest — Mrs. Frank H.

The enter- tainment committee included all the officers and members of the Eochester association, with a special ladies' com- mittee consisting of C. B. Ogsten, E. E. Fry, J. 0. Pridmore, W. T. Logan, George T. Boucher and John House. All worked well. BOWI-ING. The bowling was as full of interest as at any previous S. A.

[A paper by W. N. Rudd, Morgan Park, 111., read before the Society of American Florists, In convention at Rochester, August 16 to 19, 1910.] We would nearly all of us receive with scornful disbelief a statement that the farmers were our superiors in enter- prise and in "business horse sense," and yet such is the fact in certain direc- tions. The farmer early realized the enor- mous possibilities for good to him in the experiment stations, and he also real- ized that here was a chance to get back in direct benefits some of the money he was paying out in taxes. He realized this, acted on it, and developed a gold mine.. The experiment stations have revolutionized all agricultural and horti- cultural operations in the last few years, save and except the ornamental branches, whose workers have shown almost no interest, and have largely re- fused to receive help where offered. It is human to work along the line of least resistance. The farmer received gladly what was offered and clamored for more. When funds were scanty he be- sieged the legislatures and compelled them to continually increase the appro- priations for his work. What Has Been Done for the Farmers. You cannot sell the farmer gold bricks any more. If you try to sell him oat hulls flavored with molasses to feed his cows, he will talk understand- ingly about fats and proteids (which you and I know nothing about) ; he will ask for a guaranteed analysis, and will know what it means when he gets it. You cannot fool him any more. He has been educated by the experi- ment stations and, whenever in doubt, consults them — his best friends and counselors. He knows about nitrogen and potash and phosphorus; which of them he needs, and how much he should get for his dollar. By his support, the stations have ac- complished the impossible, and com- pelled the meat trust to be fairly honest in selling its fertilizers. The stations, through the printed matter they are sending free to all who will receive it, through the farmers' institutes which meet in all the sections of the state, and by experimental farms favorably locat- ed, are telling the farmer what crops to grow and how to grow them; what fertilizers and feeding stuffs to use and how to use them; how to take care of his pigs, his chickens, and his family; how to build his barns and his fences; how to breed his live stock; in fact, everything relating to his business. He sends his sons to the agricultural col- lege and even goes himself, for the short courses everyyvhere given now. Do the Florists Get Their Share? What do we get out of this proposi- tion? Nothing. We help pay the bills and the farmers gST the benefits. Just as long as we do not squeal and get our feet in the trough, they will continue to do so. Not that they are to be blamed or that anything should be taken from them; just have the trough lengthened, more feed put in, and one end parti- tioned oflf for us. We are just as much in need of help as the farmer ever was — very likely more so. Take the coal pile. We buy more gold bricks along with our coal every year than the farmer ever did. What member of this society can truly say that he knows anything accurately about coal? Who of us knows what a "British thermal unit" is? The farm- er knows all about proteids and fats in his feeding stuff and we do not know even the name of a unit of measure of heating value. We know only in a vague way that one coal is supposed to be better than another. We do not "buy on actual heating value basis, we do not burn our coal economically and we do not know whether we get what we buy or not. Verily the smoke from our chimneys represents a World of wasted dollars. Buying Coal Intelligently. Practically every state makes the seller guarantee to the farmer just what he is getting and how much of each, in his fertilizer and feeding stuffs. No state makes the seller guarantee to the florist what he is getting or how much, when he buys coal. No seller is com- pelled to tell you that his coal is high in sulphur and, though of good heating value, not suited to your conditions for that reason. Why should not the coal man guarantee his coal in the same way the feed man does his feed or the fer- tilizer man his phosphate? One coal is good under certain conditions and very poor under others. Coal is our heaviest expense, after labor. In every market there are cheap coals which are very dear to us, and high-priced coals which may be the cheapest in the end, but we do not know about it; we only guess. It takes money, and time, and scientific knowledge to work these mat- ters out and put the knowledge ob- tained in shape to be usable by the busy commercial man. When the farmer buys a car of phos- phate rock, he buys it under a guaran- tee as to the amount of phosphorus it contains. He pays, as his share, $1.50 for an analysis of that car by a public official. If the percentage of phos- phorus varies from the guarantee, the bill is changed so as to cover the exact amount of the phosphorus in that par- ticular car. He buys what he wants,. AUQUST 25, 1010. The Weekly Florists' Review* 13 and knows to a certainty that he gets what he buys. Is there any reason why we could not be put in position to buy a car of coal with a guarantee as to its heating value and an analysis showing the per- centage of sulphur and other deleterious substances? Scientific Study of Fertilizers. The whole science of fertilizing has been studied and well worked out for the farmer. This does not help us great- ly. Our conditions are different. Our culture is intensive. The farmer's needs are reasonably good results, cheap. The difference between "nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia, between sulphate of potash and muriate, are settled for him. All those subtle distinctions be- tween stem and leaf growth, color, size of flower, substance, and date of ma- turity of the flowers, are nothing to the farmer, and everything to us. A dif- ference of $10 per ton in fertilizers of the same elements would be vital to the farmer, while a difference of three times that amount would be nothing to us, if balanced by some small differ- ence in effect on leaf or stem or flowers. We are so ignorant that we say, * ' Let chemicals alone, even if you have to start a dairy to obtain the natural manure." This is right and proper so long as we remain in our present state of ignorance regarding the use of chem- ical manures, but it is so, merely be- cause we lack the "know how" ana because it is too expensive for the ordi- nary man to teach himself. There is every reason to believe that equally good results could be obtained by the exclusive use of chemicals, in connec- tion with the proper amount of humus, as by the use of animal manures. It is even quite probable that were this sub- ject worked out to its ultimate end, means would be at hand to attain re- sults which our present wildest dreams would not measure. The Illinois station is working upon this line, but the sub- ject is so extensive that half the sta- tions in the country could investigate it to good advantage for years to come. Breeding and Testing of Varieties. The cross breeding of varieties is a most fascinating work. Breeding for the purpose of obtaining new commer- cial varieties is to be left to the com- mercial grower, however, but there is a vast field for the experiment station worker in studying the many unknown things about the subject which make failure the rule and success the excep- tion. Insects and fungous diseases, like the poor, we have always with us, and new forms are constantly appearing. The demand for work here is never-ending. The testing of the commercial values of varieties has no place in the station work, except so far as making notes of such facts as incidentally become evi- dent in growing and studying plants for more legitimate purposes. This is not to be understood as applying to the im- portation and testing of new or un- known species, which is valuable and legitimate work. The commercial grow- er can do his own testing better and quicker than the man who has no com- mercial knowledge and can not work under commercial conditions. What to Do About It. The foregoing are only a few of the many ways in which the stations can help us. Almost without exception the station managements are not only will- ing, but would be glad to take up this work for us. The funds are rarely available, however. Our part of the work is to get in touch with them, tell them what our needs are, find out what facilities they must have and then go to the legislature and get the money. In closing, the writer wishes to urge each member to look at the last year's report of this society, page 171, and see what his state is doing for floriculture, which in most cases he will find to be nothing at all. 'Illinois has a good start, Maryland is doing well, while Pennsyl- vania, the second (certainly not worse than the third) state in the Union in floriculture, is doing nothing. Indiana, with its old and well organized State Florists' Association, has allowed the floricultural department, which was do- ing such brilliant work a few years ago, to die of starvation, and so it goes on from bad to worse. It is a shame to us, and might so easily be different. Truly, the farmer appears to have more enterprise and more business sense than we have, and he certainly has more exact knowledge and better technical training for his work. CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION. [An address before the Society ot American Florists at Rocbester, N. Y., August 17, by Edward D. Beyer.] The uses of Portland cement concrete have become so general as to have be- come almost universal and the knowl- edge of its value has been so thorough- ly disseminated that a paper on the subject today is apt to be filled with repetitions and contain little new, or of interest to the listener. I had hoped today to present to you lantern slides of our collection of photographs of greenhouse construction, as I believe I could more successfully entertain you in this manner than any other, but in this I was disappointed, and I, there- fore, beg your indulgence while for a few minutes I endeavor to give you the reasons why concrete in greenhouse con- struction is so eminently superior to any other material. Concrete has won its position as the building material of the future en- tirely on its merit. Whether in mono- lith, in reinforced, in stucco or any of its varied forms, it is entirely fire- proof, absolutely vermin and frostproof, never requires repairs and saves fuel, as it retains heat and keeps out cold. To my mind its value as a material for the construction of little and use- ful things is mostly from the fact that it is plastic and easily worked, lend- ing itself to practically any design. What Concrete Is. Concrete is a mixture of cement, sand and gravel or crushed stone in varied proportions, depending only upon the strength desired, and when mixed with water and placed to remain un- disturbed, hardens into permanent stone. Good concrete does not alone depend on the cement; it is also nec- essary to have good sand and gravel, and by good sand and gravel I mean material free from clay, loam or vege- table matter — in other words, should be perfectly clean, and as a safeguard I consider it always well to wash these aggregates. Sand alone with cement makes good concrete providing the sand is a graded one, that is, from fine to coarse, and where the work is not thick, as in bench or table construc- tion, I should consider the cement and sand mixture the best, as with the fine aggregate you are less liable to have voids in the finished work. For this class of work and for floors of green- houses, where the latter need not be over three inches in thickness, a one to three mixture will prove generally satisfactory. In foundation work or in the molding of hotbed frames a regular concrete can be used, composed of one part of Portland cement, two and one-half parts of sand, and five parts of screened gravel or crushed stone. Cinders from hard coal ash can be also used in the place of gravel or stone, but the cinders should be thor- oughly washed and as free as possible from particles of unburned coal. All concrete for form work should be placed wet and spaded or puddled into place. It is very difficult in a paper of this character to specialize, as every one of you have different problems, par- ticularly of design, confronting you or in contemplation, and I, therefore, feel that I can only cover the subject in a general way and outline the general rules for the use of concrete in con- struction such as you are engaged in. In Oreenhouse Construction. In greenhouse construction concrete is particularly adaptable, especially in the interior, where the constant use of water tends to the rapid decay of wood, and in consequence where wood is used, as, for instance, in the tables or benches that contain moist earth, it is short lived and in constant need of repair. Concrete when once placed never needs repair. Water, instead of damaging, improves it, and the unsightliness of rotten sideboards is entirely eliminated and the uniformness of it all lends to the general appearance and proper up- keep. The usual foundation for a green- house building need not be over ten inches broad and only deep enough to be below the frost line, which, of course, varies in different sections of the country, and this concrete, as stated before, to be a one part cement, two and one-half sand and five gravel or stone mixture. We will take as an ex- ample the house described in the book issued by the Atlas Portland Cement Co., "Concrete Construction About the Home and on the Farm," which is assumed to be a total width of six- teen feet. The ridgepole should be six inches wide by eight inches deep, of the same proportions of concrete as above, reinforced with two V^-inch steel bars. The beams should be 2^^x5 inches, extending from ridgepole to side wall and reinforced with a %-inch steel bar, which will be sufficiently strong to support the sashes. [Evidently the au- thor of the book was not describing a commercial house. — Ed.] The side walls can be seven inches thick to the height required. Eight-inch square posts reinforced with four i^-inch bars in each comer, placed at 10-foot intervals, will support the ridgepole. The concrete greenhouses pictured in the book are at Westwood, N. J., and are of this construction, and, as you will note, have no wood to decay or burn in their entire construction. The concrete in this instance is not particu- larly pleasing from the fact that care was not exercised in spading the wet concrete against the outside of the forms and by not remedying this with 14 The Weekly Florists^ Review* August 25, 1910. a mortar plaster after the forms had been removed. Greenhouse Benches. The tables can be made in one mem- ber by casting in one continuous piece of concrete, or they can be constructed in parts. There is no particular ad- vantage of one over the other, although the former is probably the cheaper. When cast in one piece two and one- half inches is the proper thickness and various concrete can be used for the purpose, and taking cost into considera- tion, the mixture would depend on the available aggregates. As previously stated, my preference for this work would be a one cement, three graded sand mixture, but a one ce- ment, two sand and four cinders, if prop- erly reinforced with wire fabric or %- inch rods about six inches apart, would serve the purpose, although more diflS- cult for the unskilled to place and not as dense as the cement and sand mix- ture. The tables should have holes or slots at the bottom to facilitate the drainage of the water. In the cases where separately molded slabs are used the cracks between the slabs will sup- ply suflScient drainage. Greenhouse trays for supplying the necessary amount of moisture are most satisfactory if constructed of concrete, as they also will not rot or shrink when they become dry, and need no attention but to keep filled. They can also be easily made an attractive and decorative feature of the greenhouse. These trays can be made like the slabs for the tables, only that they should be brushed on the inner surface with a layer of pure cemejjt mixed to the con- sistency of cream, immediately after the forms are removed. Concrete coldframes or hotbed frames are also the most desirable, again be- cause they will not rot like wood, and are absolutely permanent. These walls need not be over four inches thick, with 3-inch division walls for the window rests, and can be composed of the same concrete mixture as for outside walls. All these foundations should be carried below the frost line. Concrete lends itself to decorative purposes very admirably, and concrete veranda boxes for flowers and vases are frequentlj' seen now, not only on stone or cement houses, but also on frame. They, too, need not be renewed every year or two, but will last for- ever. In conclusion, I wish to reiterate that concrete for the particular work in which the majority of you are inter- ested is the ideal material and when you once familiarize yourself with its use you will adopt it in all your con- struction work. I also beg to invite any questions your members may choose to ask re- garding the use of this material, as I feel that in that way you can bet- ter reach your individual problem than through a paper such as the inadequate one herewith presented.

F. in Boston at the National Flower Show to be held in the spring was unani- mously carried. F. R. Pierson prom- ised to secure an appropriation for sweet pea premiums and the society voted that it would endeavor to secure the same amount, so it is quite pos- sible that the national show will have a prize list of about $350 for sweet peas.

These come from the island of Formosa and ari'ive much earlier than the Japanese longiflorums. I have grown them for two seasons and am much pleased with them. These lilies are evidently seedlings, as they show a wide variation in foliage, habit and flowers. Some will flower when eighteen inches high and others may reach five feet before doing so. Occasionally stalks will carry only one or two flowers, but others will produce six, eight, ten or even more. Occasionally the outside of the trumpets is purplish or chocolate colored, reminding one of L. Brownii, but the majority are pure white. The greatest point in favor of this lily is its almost entire immunity from disease. Harrisii are so badly diseased that many have dropped them, and even many of the longiflorums have to be thrown away. So far, these Formosas have proved practically disease-proof. They arrive early and the first lot is already potted — the smaller bulbs in 5-inch and the larger in 6-inch pots. Lfast year some were seen in flower early in January. They do not all flower at one time, as do the other lilies. They are rather tall to use as Easter plants, but for the grower who wants cut stalks from day to day they are the most valuable introduction of late years. Any grower who has not yet grown Formosas should try a case this season. Order at once, as the supply will soon be exhausted. Callas. The pots of callas, which have been lying on their sides since early in June, should now be overhauled. Some bulbs will be of fine quality; others not so good. Discard the dubious ones. The California bulbs are now so cheap it hardly pays to use any but the best. Some growers use beds or benches, others pots; probably a large majority use the latter. The benches may not yet be ready for the bulbs, in which case it would be better to pot the bulbs singly and later plant them out. Callas love a generous soil. Fibrous loam, decayed cow manure, sand and a dash of bone meal and soot make a suitable mixture. Single bulbs may go in 6-inch and 7-inch pots. A 10-inch pot will hold three bulbs and a 12-inch five, but single bulbs to a pot are to be preferred. Stand all pots outdoors until frost threatens. Water sparingly until roots are being freely produced. It is easy to rot the tubers in hot weather if the soil gets too moist. Small bulbs planted outdoors early in the summer should not yet be disturbed. Let them remain where they are a month or so longer before potting. Antirrhinums. The earliest batch of antirrhinums are now in 4-inch pots and will be benched about the last part of August in a cool house. In the meantime they are kept outdoors on a bed of coal ashes. A later batch of cuttings, re- cently potted off, will come in useful for benching when the early mums, such as Golden Glow, Pacific and Polly Rose, are cut. It is a good time now to look over the stock plants in the field. If these were headed back, they will now give a nice crop of soft cuttings, which will be easily rooted. Select popular colors, white, yellow, pink and bright red being the best. Other shades are hardly worth growing. If you want a batch of plants to follow late chrys- anthemums and have no cuttings, get some seed and sow at once. As a gener- al rule, seed comes pretty true to color. The tall variety is the one you want. August 25, 1910. The Weekly Fbrists' Review. 15 Pot these off when big enough to han- dle. Grow along on a light bench, and by the middle of November you will have fine, stocky little plants to plant out. Annual Lupines. Lupines are still a good deal of a novelty in winter and early spring, in the markets. They are a welcome addi- tion to the everyday florists' flowers and are eagerly sought for by the up- to-date store florists. Lupines require a cool house, 45 to 50 degrees at night. They can be flowered in deep boxes or benches. The latter give more root run and better spikes. The seed should be sown in rows eighteen inches apart, rather thinly. They soon germinate and should be grown as cool and airy as possible in the early stages of growth. A pink variety that is adver- tised a good deal, and sometimes sold as hybridus roseus, makes an excellent forcing variety and will easily bloom for Christmas if sown by the first week in September. L. mutabilis is a charm- ing variety, with larger spikes than the pink variety. The colors are blue and white, and cream and pink. L. Hart- wegii is another beautiful variety, which produces fine spikes under glass. There are pure white and azure blue varieties of this. If a bench is not yet at disposal, start a number of seeds separately in 3-inch pots outdoors and transplant later. THE IiOBD & BUBNHAM MODEL. At the Rochester convention the Lord & Burnham Co., New York, ex- hibited a model greenhouse, 5x9 feet, so accurately built that every part of the construction was clearly shown. It A Complete Greenhouse in Miniature. was based on the plan used by the company in the erection of a house for the Kobert Craig Co. at the new plant in Norwood, Pa. As stated in The Re- view's report of the convention, the model embodied every essential item of the construction, including the giant arch with V-shaped truss; also the con- crete walls, with real wrought iron flat posts, carrying the shaft for a side ventilator, the sash being hinged di- rectly to the eave plate. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. Taking the Buds. The time of taking the buds is really the most critical time in chrysanthe- mum growing, because if the bud is taken too early it will not give the best results, and if it is taken too late the flowers lack depth, are small, and unsat- isfactory generally. Much has been written on this subject and still the average grower is somewhat befogged when he reads about crown and second crown and terminal buds. Older readers of these notes will re- call that I wrote for years trying to elucidate this knotty subject of bud selection, by giving the reader dates after which it was safe to take the bud without worrying whether it was a first or tenth crown. The terms "first and second crown" are misleading, be- cause a. grower who planted his stock in April might have some of his varie- ties showing three crown buds by the first week in August and it might still be too early to take the bud witn safety, while another grower who might be handling stock rooted in May or early June, and not getting a first CTown to show before August 20, could tike it wit^h perfect safety. For most exhibition varieties, and a great many of the commercial kinds also, we have for years set our date around August 20, as the earliest time to take the buds. Some varieties, such as Mrs. D. V. West, F. S. Vallis and the old Mme. Carnot, can be safely taken any time after August 1, while Col. Appleton and some of the pink varieties are better on a bud early in September. I do not refer in these notes to the specially early varieties, such as Golden Glow, which is perhaps even now in flower, or Monrovia, which has buds just commencing to show color; nor do i refer to the very late varieties, such as Jeanne Nonin, W. H. Chadwick, W. R. Brock or others, which should be taken on late buds and as late as pos- sible, but I am referring to the greater bulk of exhibition varieties, which is what the average grower is handling. It is, of course, impossible for a grower with a large batch of plants to get all the varieties ready to take the bud just when one wants, and in^ such a case they should be taken as soon as possible after the date given. Crown or Terminal Buds. Those who have not been accustomed to handling the crown bud will look at it and then rub it off because they do not see any small buds around it. A true crown bud only has growth shoots around it, and if any or all of these shoots are carried on instead of being pinched off, they will eventually pro- duce other buds at the terminus of their growth. These later buds have nothing but small buds around them, and that is the meaning of the term, *' crown or terminal buds." As a general rule, the commercial florist feels safer with a terminal bud, but he loses many dollars and consider able credit for his growing skill by not studying the crown bud and knowing "where he is at." If crown buds are showing a little too early they can be held somewhat stationary for a week or more, by permitting the surrounding growth shoots to make one leaf and then pinching them. This will act as a safety valve for the flow of sap, and the bud, when the shoots are finally re- moved, seems to . come away without any trouble. In some sections of the country the growers can handle an earlier bud than in others. This is particularly true in the mountainous sections and the most northerly part of the country, the cooler nights evidently being what the bud re- quires for its final development. Growers in the extreme south may not have any success with a crown bud as early as August 20, although recent letters from Missouri and Mississippi indicate that it is the best time for the growth as far south as that section. The systematic grower will always have a notebook and, when he is han- dling new varieties or experimenting, he will mark the plants and enter the record in the notebook, leaving room for the final result to be marked alongside. This record will be of the greatest value from year to year, as few of us are blessed with memories sufficiently long to keep track of such small details, and it is just these details that make success or possible failure.

CARNATIONS FOE CHRISTMAS. Will you tell me how I should now treat my carnations? I bought nice, strong plants, that were pinched near the ground, and have now three nieei shoots to the plant. They are planted in the greenhouse in solid beds and have made nice growth. Shall I pinch them back again, or let them go on and grow as high as they will and bloom when- ever they will? I want to cut them for Christmas if possible. They were benched about a month ago. L. M. S. If you have no special use for the carnations until winter, they should be pinched back. Let the shoots run up until the buds just form before doing this. They will then break away stronger than if the soft growth is pinched. The plants should be gone over once a week and necessary pinch- ing continued until the end of August, if early flowers are not wanted, W.C. ON SUB-IEBIGATED l.ANJ>. Can carnations be grown on sub- irrigated soil successfully preparatory to benching, or is dry, high ground preferable, and for what reasons? W. W. F. C. It is a generally accepted fact that carnations grown on well-drained land will lift best, and that if they go through a moderate dry spell just prior to being lifted they will be in the best of condition to lift. The reason is that under those conditions the plants are hard, and will wilt but little as compared with those which have had an abundance of water. It matters but little whether the water came as rain or otherwise, as long as the plants made a soft growth. Size of plant cuts little figure with the expert grower, unless it be coupled with condition. Any undersized, well-matured plant, as long as it is not a runt, is preferable to a large, soft one, and will outstrip it inside of a short time. A. F. J. B. TO PBEVENT BUST. What causes rust on carnations, and is there any treatment that will effec- tually check and remove it? W. W. F. C. Just where rust comes from, perhaps no one knows, except that, like all dis- eases of that nature, it is the result of certain conditions. A lack of fresh air, too much humidity, or any severe check will start it. That accounts for the fact that you so often see it start in the cutting bench, or right after pot- ting, or after the plants are housed. In each instance a more or less humid atmosphere is maintained for a few days. To check it, conditions just as nearly opposite as possible must be produced, according to how much of that sort of thing the plants may be able to stand. "Ventilate freely and dust around with dry-slaked lime. If the plants are well established, you need not be afraid to dust plants and all, but if they have not yet taken hold, you would better not dust over them, else severe wilting and possible loss of plants may result.

When you have steam heat you can paint one of the pipes with sulphur, which will help purify the atmosphere. A. F. J. B. FAIBT RING. Kindly give me some information as to the disease of the enclosed carna- tion leaves, and its remedy. I am located in eastern Texas. M. L. The specimens forwarded are laf- fected with fairy ring, and you will have to get busy at once in vigorous style. In your hot southern climate you will find it an uphill job, as heat and moisture are what these fungoid diseases revel in. The fact is, too much moisture is really what starts it, and at this time of the year, when one will do almost anything that will afford relief from the intense heat, it makes it doubly hard to fight a dis- ease of this nature. You will have to cut out spraying as a means of reducing the heat in your houses, for a time at least. Pick off all you can of the affected leaves; then spray with Bordeaux mix- ture about twice each week. Water carefully, but not too sparingly, and only at the roots unless you see signs of red spider. Do everything you can to promote a strong, sturdy growth, but avoid any manure that is at all rank METHOD OF BUBNINO CAYENNE. Kindly let me know what method is used for burning Cayenne pepper to de- stroy thrips on American Beauty roses. R. T. The usual method of burning Cayenne is to place one-quarter of a pound on the top of tobacco stems when fumigat- ing. Another plan is to heat as many bricks as will suffice and place as much pepper on each brick as will cover it to the depth of half an inch. For instance, if the house is twenty-five f oet wide, one brick would be needed for about every twenty feet of the length of the house. The bricks should be nearly red-hot. Repeat this twice a week. Keep the ventilators shut for one and one-half hours after operating. Eibes. INSECTS ON DAHLIAS. The ants, black potato beetles and other bugs are spoiling my dahlias as fast as they open. Please give me some remedy. E. F. Spray your plants with a weak solu- tion of Paris green for the beetles. One ounce will make ten gallons of liquid. This will not be strong enough to burn the foliage. This may not clean out the ants. A little cyanide of potassium, mixed in molasses and laid on pieces of paper here and there, will prove a po- tent attraction to them and will poison thousands. Use care in breaking up the cyanide crystals and be sure you have no cuts in your hands. It is a deadly poison and should never be placed where children, by any possibility, can reach it. C. W.

"Will you please inform me as to the care of mahernias, and also if they can be propagated and how? W. G. B. Mahernia odorata is probably the variety you have. This is a popular cool greenhouse plant. Propagation from soft cuttings in winter or early spring is an easy matter. Use an ordi- nary cutting bench, such as will root carnations or chrysanthemums. The plants in summer are much better grown outdoors. Owing to its twiggy, branching habit, it is easy to train this plant into any desired shape. It also makes an excellent basket subject. The mahernias are natives of South Africa and want cool treatment in winter. C. MAKING LEAF-MOLD. Will you kindly give me directions as to a quick way of making leaf -mold? When fall comes I usually have plenty of beech, oak, chestnut and maple leaves, but I have not much space in which to store them. C. T. M. There is no quick way to reduce leaves to leaf-mold without partly de- stroying their quality as fertilizers. Gather the leaves into a heap arid turn them over frequently, thus creating a gentle fermentation. By the next sum- mer there will be a partial reduction to mold, which can be separated from the rest by passing it through a screen with a I-inch mesh. It takes from one to two years to reduce mold to the finer form. Bibes. JOHN CONNON. John Connon is the new president of the St. Louis Florists' Club.

Carnation week was no exception to the general rule; the market simply marked time. It has been so all the twenty-six years the S, A. F. has ex- isted; usually it is the dullest Week of the year. Many of the leading whole- salers were at Eochester. Those who remained closed early. Some are still in the mountains and it will be another month before the tide comes in. In the meantime what stock arrives, if good, sells quickly. Prices have not advanced except for a few of the se- lected Beauties. General shipments are light, except of asters and gladioli. Carnations are hardly worthy of the name. Some of the asters now arriv- ing are almost as good as the chrysan- themums. Of the latter it is interest- ing to note how many reach the mar- ket already. The new roses are begin- ning to arrive, but it will be another ten days before their influence is great- ly manifest. Orchids are not abundant and little called for. Lilies have fallen. Of hydrangeas there is a great abun- dance. There is no limit to the gladi- oli. Few sell above 50 cents per hun- dred. Most of the retail windows depend on asters and tritomas for their attract- iveness. In some windows the water lily displays remain. Many are devot- \ John G>nnon. ing the dull days to repainting and re- decorating. Everyone seems optimistic as to the, new season, and all are get- ting ready for the beginning of the contest. Various Notes. The lafet of the conventionists re- turned Aiigust 21.- Many made side trips to the Falls, Toronto, or the Thou- sand Islands. The general verdict here is that the Rochester convention stands at the he^d of the procession, in extent, in management and in generous wel- come and entertainment, with perfect weather, grand exhibits and complete harmony. Eochester has set a high mark, but Baltimore and southern hos- pitality together declare they will "raise the ante!

One funeral, that of three young boys, all in one family, who were killed by the cars at Cow- esett, had more than fifty pieces, includ- ing an immense gates ajar. Prices on cut flowers ranged about as last quoted. Stock is abundant. Various Notes. S. M.

Win you toll me how I should now treat my carnations? I bought nice, strong plniits, that were pinched near the ground, and have now three nice shoots to the plant. They are planted in the greenhouse in solid beds and have made nice growth. Shall I pinch them back again, or let them go on and grow as high as they will and bloom when- ever they will? I want to cut them for Christmas if possible. They were benched about a month ago. L. M. S. If you have no special use for the carnations until winter, they should be pinched back. Let the shoots run up until the buds .just form before doing this. They will then break awav stronger tlian if the soft growth i's pinched. The jdants should be gone over once a Aveck and necessary pinch- ing continued until the end of 'August, if early flowers are not wanted. W. C. ON SUB-IRRIGATED LAND. <;an carnations be grown on sub- irrigated soil successfully preparatory to beiK-hing, or is dry,' high ground preferable, and for wli;it reasons? w. w. r. c. It is a generally accepted fact that carnations grown on well-drained land will lift best, and that if they go through a moderate dry spell just prior to being lifted they will be iii the best of condition to lift. The reason is that under those conditions the plants are hard, and will wilt but little as compared with those which have had an abundance of water. It matters but little whether the water came as rain or otherwise, as long as the plants made a soft growth. Size of plant cuts little figure with the expert grower, unless It be coupled with condition. Any under.sized, well-matured plant, as long as it is not a runt, is preferable to a large, soft one, and will outstrip it inside of a short time. A. F. J. B. TO PREVENT RUST. What causes rust on carnations, and is there any treatment that will efl'ec- tuallv check and remove it? W. W. V. C. Just where rust comes froni, perhaj)s no one knows, except that, like all dis- eases of that nature, it is the result of certain conditions. A lack of fresh air. too much humidity, or any severe check will start it. That accounts for the fact that you so often see it start in the ciitting bench, or right after pot- ting, or after the plants are housed. In each instance a more or less humid atmosphere is maintained for a few days. To check it, conditions just as nearlv opposite as possible must be produced, according to how much of that sort of thing the plants may be able to stand. Ventilate freely and dust around with dry slaked lime. If the plants are well established, you need not be afraid to dust plants and all, but if they have not yet taken hold, you would better not dust over them, else severe wilting and ]iossible loss of plants mav result. A. F. J. B. FAIRY RING. Kindly give me some information as to the disease of the enclosed carna- tion leaves, and its remedy. I am located in eastern Texas. M. L. The specimens forwarded are af- fected with fairy ring, and you will have to get busy at once in vigorous style. In your hot southern climate you will find it an uphill job, as heat and moisture are what these fungoid diseases revel in. The fact is, too much moisture is really what starts it, and at this time of the year, when one will do almost anything that will afford relief from the intense heat, it makes it doubly hard to fight a dis- ease of this nature. You will have to cut out spraying as a means of reducing the heat in your houses, for a time at least. Pick off all you can of the affected leaves; then spray with Bordeaux mix- ture about twice each week. Water carefully, but not too sparingly, and only at the roots unless you see signs of red spider. Do everything you can to promote a strong, sturdy growth, but avoid any manure that is at all rank and liable to produce a foul atmos phere. When cool weather sets in, you will have less trouble in combating the dis ease. When you have steam heat you can paint one of the pipes with sulphur, which will help purify the atmosphere. A. F. J. B. METHOD OF BURNING CAYENNE. Kindly let mo know what method is used for burning Cayenne pepper to de- strov thrips oa American IBcautv roses. R. T. The usual method of burning Cayenne is to place one quarter of a pound on the top of tobacco stems when fumigat- ing. Another plan is to heat as many bricks as will suffice and place as much jtepper on each brick as will cover it to the depth of half an inch. For instance, if the house is twenty-five feet wide, one brick would be needed for about every twenty feet of the lengtli of the house. The bricks should be nearly red-hot. Eepeat this twice a week. Keep the ventilators shut for on-? and one-half hours after operating. Eibes. INSECTS ON DAHLIAS. The ants, black potato beetles and other bugs are spoiling my dahlias as fast as they open. Please give me some remedy. R. F. Spray your plants with a weak solu- tion of Paris green for the beetles. One ounce will make ten gallons of liquid. This will not be strong enough to burn the foliage. This may not clean out the SHJts. A little cyanide of potassium, mixed in molasses and laid on pieces of paper here and there, will prove a po- tent attraction to them and will poison thousands. Use care in breaking up the cyanide crystals and be sure you have no cuts in your hands. It is a deadly poison and should never be placed where children, by any possibility, can reach it. C. W.

ThcWcckly Florists^ Review. 17 MAHERNIA ODOEATA. ^Vill yon please inform me as to the earo of maliernias. and also if they cau be propagated and how? W, G. B. Maheriiia odorata is probably the '^'ariety you have. Tliis is a popular cool greenhouse ])lant. Propagation from soft cuttings in winter or early spring is an easy matter. Use an ordi- nary cutting bencli, such as will root carnations or chrysanthemums. The plants in summer arc much better grown outdoors. Owing to its twiggy, branching habit, it is easy to train this plant into any desired shape. It also makes an excellent basket subject. The maliernias are natives of South Africa and Avaiit cool treatment in winter. C. MAKING LEAF-MOLD. Will you kindly give me directions as to a quick Avay of making leaf-mold? When fall comes I usually have plenty of beech, oak, chestnut and maple leaves, but I have not much space in which to store them. C. T. M. There is no quick way to rcd-uce leaves to leaf-mold without partly de- stroying their quality as fertilizers. Gather tlie^leaves into a heap and turn them over frequently, thus creating a gentle fermentation. By the next sum- mer there will be a partial reduction to mold, wliich can be separated from the rest by passing it through a screen with a 1-inch mesh. , It takes from one to two years to reduce nmld to the finer form.

The Market. < aiuatiou week was no exception to tlie general rule; the market simply marked time. It has been so all the twenty-six years the S. A. F. has ex- isted: usually it is the dullest w'eek of the year. ]\Iany of the leading whole- salers were at Eochester. Those who remained closed early. Some are still in the mountains and it will be another month before the tide comes in. In the meantime what stock arrives, if good. selK (juickly. Prices have not advani-cd ex their influence is great- ly manifest. C)rchids are not abundant and little called for. l^ilies have fallen. Of hydrangeas there is a great abun- dance.

HARTFORD, CONN. The condition of crops in Connecticut this year is eight per cent better than the yearly average for the last ten years. A great many people from the middle west are investigating the many opportunities that Connecticut offers. The Hartford Market Gardeners' Association, at a recent meeting in the rooms of the board of trade, talked over plans for an exhibit which the association will make at the Connecti- cut fair in Charter Oak park. A com- mittee was elected, the chairman of which is Horace B. Williams, of East Hartford, to arrange for the exhibit. In response to an invitation from the Connecticut Agricultural College, at Storrs, to inspect the crop of vegeta- bles at that institution, the members of the Market Gardeners' Association went there on a tour of inspection, August 25. Extensive experiments in growing vegetables are conducted at Storrs. J. W. Crowel, secretary of the association, made the arrangements for the trip. T. L, B. Allentown, Pa, — Ernest Ashley, the florist at Fourth and Tilghman streets, is building another greenhouse on the Bethlehem pike. CINCINNATI. The Market. The usual glut of poor summer flow- ers is still on. All the good stock finds eager buyers, while the other finds its way to the ash barrel. The prices are normal for the season. The demand is fickle. It always calls for more of a certain kind of flower than is available. For instance, at present Rhea Reid and pink roses are comparatively scarce and the call for them is good. On the other hand, there are plenty of American Beauties and a small call. The same is true of longiflorum lilies; there are plenty of them and not a large request. The good asters and gladioli are taken in a hurry at fair prices, while the poorer ones help congest the refrigerators. Valley is now in the market every day. The green goods market is quiet. Smilax is in small supply. Some good plumosus can be had. Various Notes. The Ohio Valley Exposition, which opens August 29, will undoubtedly help business. The speed boat races on the river and the exposition itself, with the opera, will attract thousands of outsiders. There has been some talk of having an exhibition for florists, but nothing has been definitely decided. J, Chas. McCuUough says that he will be able to give definite information within four or five days. R. Witterstaetter has just received two carloads of pots. He has almost finished planting his carnations in the houses. In spite of the dry weather, they lift easily and suffer little after planting in the benches. Mr. Witier- staetter has found a heavy demand for carnation plants from the field, a de- mand which he was unable to fill, as he scarcely had enough for himself. Weiland & dinger have been receiv- ing large cuts of White Killarney, which, considering the flower and the season of the year, hold up wonderfully well and make a welcome addition to the stock of white flowers in the retail stores. E. G. Gillett is receiving a large cut of Beauties from Heller. Large shipments of excellent longi- florums are still arriving at Wm. Mur- phy's. C. E. Critchell has a large supply of asters of all varieties and colors. After leaving Rochester, he went di- rectly to Mackinac Island to join his wife and little son, C. E., Jr. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Peterson went to the Thousand Islands from the con- vention. Wm. Murphy reports fishing better than for years at Snow Islands. Miss Shanahan has returned from her vacation, spent in the north, Mrs. Hider and party from Hills- boro, 0., spent August 21 in Cinciniiati and at Coney Island. Charlie Windram, who is in North D-akota, has found game so plentiful that he has written home for his gun. C. H. H. FOR WIDE-AWAKB RETAILERS. The illustration gives a clear idea of the new wedding gates and arch which Mr. Bayersdorfer has made for the spe- cial purpose of meeting a variety of needs. The arch or the gates may be used separately; or the whole piece may be used together, as in the photo- graph; or they may be used, foliage- covered, as a music screen or to hide a stairway, or as a background for flowers. The material is rattan and enamel. The holders surmounting the arch and on the gate posts are in- tended for pots, but can also be used for vases of cut flowers. Phil. Medicine Lodge, Kan, — John L.

Charlevoix, Mich. — B. B. Blair now has his hands full in taking care of the summer trade in this favorite holiday resort. His spring plant trade was a record-breaker. Field carnations, he says, suffered from the drought in July, but made rapid growth later. Sweet peas were not up to the usual northern Michigan standard, but asters are fine. Lake Linden, Mich. — The three green- houses which are being erected here for the Pearce Hardware & Furniture Co. are nearly completed.

Owing to the large flower trade which the Pearce company has already established here, there will be a ready sale for the output of the new houses. New Castle, Ind. — William Dittmann recently returned from three weeks' fishing at Lake Manitou and has brought with him a big bucket of bass. He says he had the best time of his life. His Beauties are in extra fine condition, with prospects for the best year since he has been in business.

Farmington, Utah — The Miller Floral Co. has completed its first rose house, 45x300 feet, and expects soon to build a house of similar dimensions for carnations. The firm has already planted 6,000 roses, which promise to be in shape for producing a good fall crop. South Bend, Ind. — Three tracts of land, formerly the property of the South Bend Floral Co., were recently sold at public auction for a total consideration of $3,780. This transaction practically ended the affairs of the receivership of the concern. Charles E. Campbell was the receiver. Belvidere, 111.— B. Eldridge is making extensive improvements at his green- houses in Fairview. The changes in- clude the erection of a concrete chim- ney, fifty feet in height and thirty inches in inside diameter. Mr. Eldridge is planning, it is said, to grow large quantities of roses and carnations for the wholesale trade. Hartford, Conn. — At the funeral of F. B. Edwards, a well-known druggist, one of the most notable of the many floral pieces was a large panel, made by Page F. Potter, who has greenhouses at 232 Main street and a store at 653 Main street. The panel was ordered by the Druggists' Association of Hartford. It was eight feet high and three and one- half feet wide, and was mounted on an easel. It was made of roses, sweet peas •and carnations. At the top was a clock dial, with the hands pointing to 9:40, the hour at which Mr. Edwards died. Un- derneath this was a druggist's pestle and mortar.

Voorneveld, proprietor of the Floralia Flower Store, on Liberty street, is attracting atten- tion here as a remarkably successful grower of outdoor sweet peas, Canter- bury bells and other flowers. His gar- den contains a strikingly beautiful ar- ray of sweet peas — whole hedges of them, many of them over six feet high. This town, Mr. Voorneveld says, is steadily gaining in popularity as a sum- mer resort and is becoming more at- tractive each year, as the people give increasing attention to horticulture. Faxton, HI. — In order to dispose of a large stock of surplus carnations, which otherwise would have been dumped .on the rubbish heap, Addems, Morgan & Co. recently advertised in a local paper that on a certain day they would give one-half dozen of those flowers to each child that applied be- tween 8 and 10 o'clock a. m,, limited, however, one child to each family. In this manner they brought smiles to the faces of 203 children who came, giving each one ten carnations, instead of the six promised. This firm also reports that business, both wholesale and re- tail, has been better this year than ever before, and they are unable to keep pace with the orders for young stock. They are putting a new plate glass win- dow and vestibule entrance in the front of their store, and at their establish- ment at Loda they are building a new propagating house, 100 feet long. 18 The Weekly Florists^ Review* August 25, 1910. ]iort Ilorticiiltiiral Sociely will be hold ycptoinbcr 20. \\'illiain 11 Hazard has <^ouo on a two weeks' vafatioii.

The illustration gives a clear idea of the jiew Avedding gates and arch which Mr. Jiayersdorfer has made for the spe- cial purpose of meeting a \ariety of needs. The arch or the gates may be used sejiarately; or the wlnde jiiece may be used together, as in the plioto- grapli; or they may be used, foliage- covered, as ri music screen or to hide a st.'iirway, or as a background for flowers. The material is rattan and enamel. The holders surmounting the arch and on the gate jiosts are in- tendeil for pots, but can also be used for \ast's of cut flowers. Phil.

Charlevoix, Mich. — B. B. Blair now has his hands full in taking care of the suminer* trade in this favorite holiday resort. His si)ring plant trade was u record-breaker.

The Eeview brings results. The National Council of Horticulture has begun its midsummer press service with articles on "Starting Plants for Next Year," "Strawberry Plants Set Out in Summer," and "The White or Madonna Lily." J. S. Beunton, editor of one of the English trade papers, each spring con- ducts a party on a tour of some country of trade interest and next season will bring a score or more of British nursery- men and florists to the National Flower Show at Boston. If you have a surplus of field-grown carnation plants you can find a quick buyer for them through the classified de- partment of The Review. Field-grown plants are scarce in almost all parts of the country and such . as there are are only medium size. This is too big a country to please everybody in the matter of locating the S. A. F. convention. The thing to do may be to adopt President Pierson's sug- gestion of two meetings a year, holding one in the east and the other in the west. Consolidate with the winter meet- ing the meetings of the Carnation So- ciety and Rose Society, and then everyone ought to be happy. OUTDOOR WORK. It is a welcome relief when the tem- perature is up in the high nineties to let all hands get outdoors. There is always plenty to do at this season. No matter how frequently we stir the soil, weeds will come, and they grow with such rapidity at this season that in a week or ten days, if given a free hand, they will practically smother other crops. Hand weeding is a necessity now, but it must be done with care, or many plants will be pulled up which it is desired to leave. Many of the more robust weeds can be cut off nef^e the ground, which is better than r ^nning the risk of pulling up flowering plants. Place all weeds in heaps and «vhee' or cart them away. Do not U plants altogether on cool, -Joudjr dayi, as well as at night. The dews r' tresis the plants and re- moving the sash' s helps to keep them sturdy. The obconicas will already be throw- ing up some flower spikes. Pinch these out as fast as they appear. To keep the plants compact and well leaved, thev must never be allowed to crowd one another, and it will be necessary to give them a spacing apart once in ten days. Scratch over the surface soil. Remove any weeds and pick off any decaying leaves when doing this. Pots five and six inches in diameter are suitable sizes for flowering the Chinese section in, but Kewensis and obconica, if good sized plants are wanted, should have 7-inch pots. Of course, nice plants can be grown in the smaller sizes. A suitable compost for the last potting would be equal parts of fibrous loam, rotted cow manure and partially rotted leaves, adding a dash of soot and some sharp sand to it — the latter for porosity, the former to assist in keeping the foliage a dark green color. OBITUARY. Frederick A. Katoll. F. A. Katoll, a well-known florist of 976 Ellicott street, Buffalo, N. Y., died August 16, as the result of a fractured skull. While Mr, Katoll was seated in a buggy in the yard in the rear of his home, Saturday afternoon, August 13, the horse started up suddenly and Mr. Katoll was thrown to the ground. He landed on the back of his head, Mr. Katoll was 74 years old. Louis Dragon. The death of Louis Dragon, at his home on Warwick avenue, Lakewood, R. I., on Tuesday, August 8, removes a well-known man in the florists' and gardeners' circles of that vicinity. For a* score of j'cars, up to about two years ago, he did a considerable business in growing bedding stock, small vegetables and shrubs, which he sold from wagons wliich visited the different sections thereabouts. He was 65 years of age, and removed to Lakewood from Woon- socket, R. I., about 1890. He purchase 1 an abandoned farm, built a number of small greenhouses, and did a thriving business. W. H. M. CHICAGO. The Oreat Central Market. Demand steadily gathered volume last week, the record for the seven days proving to be an excellent one. Of course it is midsummer business, but for all that there is considerable real life to the demand. No high prices can be exacted, but there is a fair sale for any good stock offered at moderate prices. The present week opened with intense heat and little local demand, but there was a good number of ship- ping orders for Monday, and the cooler weather following Monday night's storm has helped all along the line. The aster is the predominant flower. Supplies are now at their height. Quality is much better than earlier in the season; much splendid stock now is available. The receipts are not un- wieldy in any grade. Although some houses say the buyers back off if the price named is not strictly of the popu- lar variety, still all the good asters, clean up without much delay, and there is enough funeral work to take up all the short-stemmed asters at low figures. Gladioli occupy second place in point of present importance. It is the same old story: there is good sale for Amer- ica, such reds as Mrs. King and such August 25. 1910. 1 TheWcckly Florists',Rcvicw.

Augusta^ the best white, is not quite so plentiful as it has been, but there are increased supplies of King and other reds, which, though they sell well, *how declining values. The average price of America also has fallen, more because of deteri- oration in quality than because of other factors. Fancy America still sells bet- ter than anything else in gladioli. Beauties are not in large supply, but there are enough to go around; all orders can be filled with good stock from young plants. Of roses the sup- ply is equal to all requirements, for the call has slackened quite a little since strictly first-class asters became avail- able. Eose crops are not heavy with the average grower, but those who made plans for a summer cut are sending in nice stock in considerable quantity and finding fully as good a market as they anticipated. The summer roses are pay- ing well. Splendid My Maryland is seen, and it runs Killarney a close race for popularity. Kaiserin is not abun- dant. Brides and Maids are practically out of the race. Easter lilies are abundant; short- stemmed stock may be had at low prices. Auratums are slow sale. A few carnations arrive. Valley once more is abundant, and some of it is of fine quality. The summer flowers are not in large supply and meet with little demand. The green goods market also is quiet. Bassett & Washburn Picnic. The annual picnic of the employees of Bassett & • Washburn, with their families, was held at a grove neai* Hins- dale, August 19.

' ' Visitors. A. L. Glaser, of Dubuque, la., is in town for a visit with Mrs. Glaser, who has been in a sanitarium at Hinsdale for two weeks. He also is buying ma- terial for the rebuilding of two green- houses. Among the week's visitors was J. W.* Brower, of Prairie du Chien, Wis., who combines some unusual lines, handling drugs, flowers, motor boats and autos. ^At Peter Eeinberg's they report as a visitor William H. Englehart, treas- urer and manager of the Idlewild Greenhouses, Memphis, Tenn., who is preparing for a big season. W. Logan Kring, of Kring Bros., Fairbury, 111., was the guest of E. C. Amling over Sunday. J C. Quinette, New Orleans, who has had a plant ^tore at 727 Common street, near the St. Charles hotel, is here plan- ning to add cut flowers to his line this season. Karl H. Schuck, employed by H. Eei- man, and John Niggl, Jr., employed by John Heidenreich, both of Indianapolis, have been looking over the growers here on a short vacation trip.

Demand for stock has been quite good, no serious complaints are being offered, and everything seems to move fairly well. At present the market is a little long on lilies, which have to be sacrificed in some cases, but at the same time we hardly know how we should get along without them. There is a good supply of roses, which sell well. There is more complaint offered these days against the weather than anything else, as it has been hot and dry for many weeks. The absence of rain is doing considerable damage to all outdoor stock. Various Notes. Things look rather upside down around the plant of the Miami Floral Co., as excavation has commenced for their new boiler room, which will be 37x55 feet, with a pit eleven feet deep. The building is to be strictly fireproof, being built of concrete to the ground August 25, 1910.

Will you kindly let me know whether boxwood trees are hardy and tell me something in regard to the nature of them? Do they require much water? I have some small trees, about sixteen inches high, but do not understand the care of them. D. E. M. The common boxwood, Buxus semper- virens, is hardy, even in many of the colder states, especially if given a little winter covering to prevent scorching of the foliage. Many old gardens in the east contain quite large hedges and bushes of this dense but slow-growing evergreen, and 10 to 1.5 degrees below zero has injured them but little when they have had a covering of snow. If your plants are in pots or tubs, they should be placed in a shed, pit or light cellar, where the temperature keeps at the freezing, point or a little above or below it through the winter, moving them outdoors about the last of April. They require an abundant water sup- ply in summer; in winter one or two waterings will suffice. If youif box trees are planted out, you can protect them with spruce or other evergreen boughs after December, but it will be safer to dig them uj) and store in a cold pit for the winter. C.

An advance meeting was called for August 11, to give the local florists who expected to attend the Rochester convention a chance to be present at the installation of officers of the New Orleans Horticultural Society. The business meeting was on this occasion restricted to the most important routine matters. The newly installed officers are: President, Eichard Eichling; vice- president, E. E. Simon; secretary, C. B. Panter; treasurer, John Eblen. Otto Haake and Max Scheneinuck sent in their applications for member- ship. After the meeting was adjourned, the members retired to a cool and cozy little private dining room in Kolb's German Tavern. Following a time- honored custom, the newly installed officers invited all present to a cold supper, spread most temptingly on flower-bedecked boards. The president called on A. Alost, who recently re- turned from an extended trip through western Europe, and he expressed him- self enthusiastically in regard to the advancement he had observed in every- thing pertaining to horticulture in the countries he had visited. Further speech-making was dispensed with and merrymaking was then in order. During the general rejoicing the ever hard-working secretary, C. B. Panter, announced that so far $2,000 had been subscribed by members of the New Or- leans Horticultural Society as a contri- bution to the Panama Exposition fund, and by his eloquent appeal to the WILLIAM J.

The following florists went to Roches- ter to attend the convention: Harry Papworth, Mr. and Mrs. U. J. Virgin and son, Charles Eble, B. M. Wichers and H. E. Dressel. Charles Eble took with him several cases of Phoenix Roe- belenii, all fine, home-grown specimens, which attracted a great deal of atten- tion and found ready buyers. From information received, all are unanimous in their praise of the success of the convention, the hospitality of the dif- ferent florists, and, iast but not least, their endeavor to bring the Panama Exposition and the S. A. F. convention to the beautiful Crescent City. R. K. PITTSBURG. The Market. There is not much to say about busi- ness, except that it is good one day, poor the next day. There is just- about enough good stock to take care of what trade there is, and no means of using the poor stock, such as short roses, as- ters and the poorer colored gladioli. The help around the stores have about all had their vacations and are getting back to work, and it is hard for them to put in their time. Various Notes. Uncle John Wyland was again called upon to do the good Samaritan act. An Italian was waylaid near his home one night last week.

There is likely to be enough sweet corn to go around. Texas seedsmen say fall business has begun, with every prospect for a record season. Mignonette is selling well; many cut flower growers who had dropped it are taking it up again. The weather of the last week has been exceptional!}' favorable in tlie western corn section. Fred S. Peterson, buyer for .Tames Tick's Sons, Rochester, is spending a short vacation at Elizabeth, N. ,T., and in and about New York city. The new building of the Reichardt & Schulte Co., Houston, Tex., is nearing completion and will be occupied early in September. New fixtures are being installed throughout. The Holmes Seed Co., Harrisburg, Pa., is attracting large numbers of visitors this week with a gladiolus exhibition, using cut spikes from Arthur Cowee, Berlin, N. Y. The "Wing & Bros.

Lewis Atwood, the seedsman of Win- terport, Me., has bought a large build- ing on Washington street formerly owned by his brother, the late Fred Atwood, and •will use it in connection with his busi- ness. Fred B. King, president of Mandeville & King Co., Rochester, N. Y., returned August 19 from a fishing trip in the Georgian bay district.

On a i)rotest by Comstock, Ferre & Co., Wethersfield, Conn., the board of general appraisers has ruled that Swiss elijird pays 4 cents per pound under the present tariff law. An importation through the port of Hartford was as- sessed 10 cents per pound as seeds not specially provided for, but was claimed to be dutiable under the provision in the same paragraph for beet seed. The protest was sustained. HYACINTH CASE DECIDED. The United States general appraisers have decided that "Hyacinth bulbs are dutiable under the provision in para- graph 263, tariff act of 1909, for 'hya- cinth, astilbe, dielytra, and lily of the valley clumps, at $2.50 per thousand,' and not under the last provision in the paragraph for 'all other bulbs, bulbous roots or corms which are cultivated for their flowers or foliage,' at 50 cents per thousand." This, is in the matter of the protest of Joseph Breck & Sons, Boston, which has attracted much attention in the trade. The protest was filed last sea- son, when the 1909 shipments canre in under the new tariflf law, and was first reported in The Review for Feb- ruary 24, as follows: "At Boston re- cently Mr. Keur and customers there raised the point at the custom house that hyacinth bulbs should be admitted at 50 cents per thousand under the provision for bulbs not specified. The contention was that the clause, 'Hya- cinth, astilbe, dielytra, lily of the val- S. M. ISBELL « CO. JACKSON, MICH. Contract Seed Growers BEAN. CUCUMBER.

HENRY A. DREER, Inc., ^^V^JS^^UfH^fi. In starting a foundation stock one should most carefully select a few plants which in habit of growth, in leaf, flower, pod, and in every way are of the exact varietal character wanted. The seed of these selections may, with reasonable safety, be planted side by side, but each plant should be carefully examined, and the whole of any lot in which a single plant shows variation that seems to have come through the seed rather than as a result of more or less perfect development should be re- jected, and it is often wise to reject all of the stock that traces to the same original selected plant. In making such rejections it is very important that one should distinguish between variations which were transmitted through the seed and those which result from con- ditions of growth and which would not be carried in the seed. This will call for the exercise of wise judgment founded on a full and accurate knowl- edge of the varietal characteristics of the sort. It will be seen that in spite of the lesser liability to cross-fertilir.a- tion, the building up of a true stock is a much slower process with beans than with corn, but when one which is true has been secured it is much easier to keep it so.

Sweet peas for about two weeks fell off in blooming, but they have been doing well lately; 50 cents per hundred blooms was the general retail price. Gladioli were in good supply and retailed at $1 per dozen. Outdoor flowers were plentiful and there was a wide variety to choose from. Funeral work was good and called for immense quantities of stock. The weather has been cool and pleas- ant for the last few weeks, and every- thing outside has been growing nicely. Various Notes. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Chamberlain left Monday, August 1.5, for a two weeks' tr]) to Bethlehem, N. H. Julius Rositzsky, manager for Wm. P.

His is one of the up-to-date stores of the town. James H. Cleary, who had a store on Pleasant street, lias filed a petition in bankruptcy. His liabilities are $2,783; assets, $1,802. F. S. Treadup is bringing in some nice Queen of the Market asters. Geo. N. Borden, foreman for R. H. Woodhouse, will leave soon for a two weeks' vacation at Lake Winnipesau- kee, N. H. Nearly every Sunday the local news- papers give illustrated accounts of the garden work being done in the school garden contests. Great credit is due some of the youngsters. S. S. Peckham is growing large blocks of mums. He will be in fine shape for the coming season's work. One of the main features of his place is an up-to- date machine and power plant, run by a ten horse-power Columbus gasoline engine. Stores still close early, and on Wednesdays at noon. W. L.

COLUMBUS, OHIO Meiit.ioa The Review when you write. BOSTON. The Market. .\n improved tone is now noticeable all aVound and the near termination of the vacation season is galvanizing more activity into the market. The most prominent flowers now are asters. In spite of our almost continuously dry summer, these are of fine quality and are bringing good prices. The leading varieties seen are Daybreak, Vick's Branching, Debutante, Comet and Os- trich Plume. Values now are as high as $3 for extra select flowers, down to 50 cents and 75 cents per hundred. Gladioli are the next most prominent flowers at present. America continues the leader. There also is a fair call for white and scarlet shades, the latter including that good old variety, Brench- leyensls. Sweet peas are not plentiful and there is a decided shortage of good pink colors. If the Boston market could secure such sweet peas as are grown at Bar Harbor, they would be eagerly snapped up. Boses are coming in more freely and bring rather better prices, especially Killarney, Carnot, Maryland and Kai- serin. The old crop of carnations is practically over, but some of the new crop, both from outdoors and under glass, are arriving. As yet these are .short-stemmed, but are selling well.

We look to see a record attend- ance in Boston on the occasion of the coming national show and convention and Massachusetts should show a sub- stantial increase in S. A. F. member- ship before that time. Those who want to see Scotch heather, Calluna vulgaris, at home and blooming finely should visit Forest Hills •cemetery. The genial superintendent gardener, T. H. Westwood, ex-president of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Boston, has a hillside resembling a miniature scene in the Scotch highlands. The subtropical effects here are unusually good. Mr. Westwood is a past ma.^tev with this class of bedding. One clump of 2,000 Begonia gracilis is a beauti- ful sight and there are many other effects equally good, geraniums bloom- ing with unusual profusion. Edward MacMulkin. has had excellent summer business at his Boylston street store. August 18 he had a decoration of orchids for President Taft, which he found some difficulty in procuring, there being a decided scarcity of these flowers at present. The two wholesale flower markets arc busy cleaning up their stalls prepara tory to the auction sales. That of the Boston Flower Exchange, at C Park street, occurs August 27, while the Bos- ton Co-operative Flower Market has its sale September 3. Elijah Cartwright is president and John McFarland sec- retary of the latter market and there is every likelihood that the sales will considerably exceed those of any pre- vious year. Business has been extra good since moving to 2 Park street. Henry A.

James Tulis, of South Sudbury, was one of the first in the market with extra good outdoor grown carnations. He also has asters of first-class qual- ity. The Sudbury soil seems particu- larly well adapted to the culture of these. Sam Beck makes an eflScient salesman for Mr. Tulis' flowers. The sum of $4,000,000 has been ex pended by the national government^ states, cities and private individualw in fighting the gypsy and brown tail moths in New England since 1905. The greater part of this money, probably nine-tenths, has been spent in Massa chusetts, yet in spite of increased ef- forts at suppression the infested area continues to grow and now exceeds 7,900 square miles. The fight prom- ises to be a long, hard and costly one and the greatest hope lies in the in- crease 6f pai'?isite,fb?8 tp a point where they can control the pests, as in Europe. W. If.' Craig. Wm.C.

Farley will erect a large, fernery on the residence prop- erty which he recently purchased on Rock Eidge boulevard. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. _ The weather has turned even colder than when last reported, and we have hardly seen the sun for tWo weeks. Whether this is against the best inter- ests of the trade or not, is hard to say, but it is favorable to the handling of tiowers of all kinds. Never at this season of the year have the blossoms of all kinds been in such profusion and of such good quality. The new crop of Garnot roses shows better color and substance and less thrips than is often seen in August. For all of this we can thank the excess of cool, cloudy weather with which we have been blessed for the last month. The prices of all kinds of stock show an upward tendency, and, with the ex- ception of asters and a few kinds of outside stock, everything is quickly bought up. Amaryllis has come into town in large bunches, but does not find ready sale. Lilium rubium and album are in full crop at present and move well. They cost the stores from $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen. Valley is fairly plentiful again and sells for the usual price. Mums are on the way, but not yet in full supply. The stock of this flower looks well and the chances are good for an abundant crop. Although business is not brisk, it is much better than it has been at any time this summer, and the indications point to its continued improvement. Various Notes. T. J. Thompson, son of the well- known florist of Santa Cruz, Cal., is in town, with the intention of permanently locating iere. C. A. Parker, of Fruitvale, will con- struct a fern house, 16x50 feet, within the next few weeks. W. O.

The Elmhurst Floral Co. has removed to its new store recently erected on the site of the former building, on Twelfth ••street, Oakland. E. W. McLellan & Co., of Bur- . lingame, are busy at this time pre- paring their houses for the coming season. Cr.

Considering that we are in the midst cf the dull season, business is fair. It is a noticeable fact that right along there has been quite a bit of funeral work. Every week there have been funerals in prominent families. The supply of asters is increasing from day to day, and some improve- ment in quality is seen. Thus, with the increased supply, the poorer grades hung fire last week, while all good stock was cleaned up. Lilies are not 60 plentiful as of late, and find ready sale. Eoses are about equal to the de- mand. The green goods market is well supplied. There are plenty of gladioli to fill all orders. Various Notes. The staff of the Baumgarten Floral Co. say that, considering there is never much doing during July and August, they are well satisfied with the run of things thus far. Funeral work with them has been one of the main items. At the store of the Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. the old front has been removed to make way for a more modern one. Miss Eose Semler, vice-president of the firm, reported for duty on Monday, August 22, after a four weeks' vaca- tion. Our representatives at the Eochester convention returned Saturday evening, and they have only words of praise in regard to the exhibitions, entertain- ments and general run of affairs. J. E. Matthewson, of Sheboygan, who went with our boys, also came back with them. Wm. Zimmermann left Tuesday, August 23, for St. Louis, Mo., to at- tend the Eagles' convention. As there are several former Milwaukee boys down there, he undoubtedly will see all there is to be seen and forget all about getting homesick. Oscar Kuehn, of St. Louis, Mo., with his wife and family, spent last week in our city, visiting Mr. Kuehn 's parents. It was quite a pleasant surprise, as the scribe had not seen him for nearly ten years. Other visitors during the week were: Mr. Sinner, of Sinner Bros., of Eogers Park, 111.; Adam Zender, also of Eogers Park, and Mrs. J. T. Hinchliffe, of Eacine, Wis. E. O. IRIS, PHLOX, Etc.

The weather was ex- tremely warm last week and the roses and carnationa ft«e soft. Asters are nothing extra and not many of these are seen. Various Notes. Ben Kramer reports that business is quite good. Mrs. Kramer is spending her vacation at Devils Lake, Wis., and is delighted with the scenery. Eoyston & Fenton are just beginning to cut from the young stock. The roses are short-stemmed, but of fairly good quality. At the greenhouses of Julius Niedna- gel & Sons the carnations are getting a good start. The roses being carried over are breaking well; the young shoots have that nice, red appearance so much desired on new growth. John Murphy, rose grower for this firm, has resigned his position. The firm loses a good grower, for Mr. Murphy has been liighly successful. E. L. F. Vincennes, Ind. — W. A. Reiman is building a large packing and cooling room in which to handle his next year's peony crop. He will increase his field to fourteen acres this autumn. Peonies always bloom here for Decoration day. Kingston, R. I. — About a mile out on the Perryville road, L. F. Kenney has a notable collection of rhododen- drons. He has about 200 acres on which he raises stock for sale, but he also buys the native stock growing on neigh- boring tracts, usually stipulating that he shall have from three to five years to remove the plants, taking all that there are on the tract.

BEX BEGONIAS. We have a batch of Kex begonias, on which the leaves become blighted. The plants seem to be in good shape, but before the leaf is fully matured it is blighted and dies. At first we thought it was on account of water getting on the leaves and the sun burning them, so a number were set aside for special treatment, but with no better results. Can you advise us? H. E. D. G. It is an old but utterly erroneous idea that water on the loaves of Eex begonias is injurious, exactly the re- verse being the case. The plants, how- ever, should not be grown in the full sun. If in such an exposure, with water on the foliage, some scalding would probably result. These begonias want a shaded house or frame. If you have not a suitable greenhouse, shade one or two sashes on a coldframe and place your plants under them. They will make rapid growth here. A light, mod- erately rich soil suits them, and when the pots are full of roots feed with liquid manure once a week. C. W. WHEBE TO OBOW FBEESIAS. Would it be better to plant freesias in five inches of soil in benches, in four inches of soil in flats, or in 6-inch pots? P. C. M. Six-inch pots will give the finest spikes, but, of course, this method en- tails more watering. While freesias will do well in benches, I have never seen as fine spikes grown in this way as in flats; in addition, the disadvantage of the bench system is that the freesias occupy the space to the entire exclusion of all other plants for so long a period. Pots and flats can be moved around at will. They do specially well on shelves in any houge where a night temperature of 50 degrees is maintained in winter, and where the head room is suflScient. The finest freesias I ever grew were in 10-inch and 12-inch pans stood on a carnation house shelf, saucers being provided after the pans were well filled with roots. C. W. NAME OF PLANT. I am sending you under separate cov- er a specimen of a species of fern which we have found growing in our green- house with the adiantums. Will you kindly give me the name of itt J. M. A. The plant in question is Selaginella Kraussiana, also known as S. denticu- lata, a species that has long been in cul- tivation and is frequently used for car- peting beneath other plants. W. H. T.

The miners have voted overwhelmingly to go on with the strike and there is no immediate pros- pect of the resumption of operations in the Illinois fields. The only sure thing in the coal business is that scarcity and high prices will rule the markets this winter. Growers should not lose a mo- ment in filling their sheds to their great- est capacity. STEAM FOB TWO HOUSES. I enclose a sketch of a proposed steam system. You -would greatly oblige me by your criticism of this system." I -wish to maintain a tempera- ture of 60 degrees in coldest Chicago ■weather. There are two houses, one 27x100 and the other 29x100. The walls are seven feet high to the gut- ters, and three of the gables are exposed. I intend to use a 2i^.-inch pressure reducing valve and a No. 1 Morehead trap. The boiler is forty-five horse-power. P. R, The sketch shows fifteen 1%-inch pipes in each of the houses, and, count- ing six feet of radiation for each foot of glass for 60 degrees, this seems ample for the purpose. The method of arranging the pipe under the benches distributes it quite evenly and should give good results. OBEGON CABNATION HOUSES. I have two small greenhouses, each 20x60, for the growing of carnations, and am installing in them a hot water plant, with four 2-inch returns in each house, carried along the benches.

Reduces the amount of radiating pipes required. Enables smaller piping to be used.. Piping may be placed below boiler level as well as above. Effects a large economy in cost of fuel.

While one 3- inch flow would answer, I should prefer to use two 2^-inch flow pipes. PIPING IN MISSOUBI. I have one greenhouse, 28x44. The boiler is in the southwest corner of the building and five feet below the walks. It is heated as follows: One 3-inch flow from the south to the north, re- turning in fourteen 2-inch pipes. This is not quite satisfactory. The pipes are made up into radiators, which are located under the beds. The house has concrete walls, with three feet of glass in the east wall and five and one-half feet of glass in the west wall. There is also glass in the south end. The total height of the walls is five feet on the east side and eight feet on the west. The height to the ridge is twelve feet. I use this house to grow a general stock of plants. I wish to know what improvements could be made in the piping and whether I have enough piping for the radiation. I have left plugged tees, so that I can put radiators on both walls if necessary. I expect to build a small house to the west, in the form of a lean-to, as that side is twelve feet high on the out- side. This house will be 8x30. I shall also build a potting shed to the north, 14x24. How much piping will be re- quired to heat these two to the proper We Make a Specialty of Sapplyiiig> the Floriata* Trade.

To heat the house 28x44 feet, with eight and one-half feet of glass in the walls, it would be best to use three 2V2-inch mains and fifteen 2-inch re- turns, but as the 3-inch flow is now in use, it will answer if two additional 2^-inch mains are put in and the re- turns are divided between the flows. For the proposed lean-to, 8x30 feet, use one 2-inch flow and four 2-inch re- turns. In the potting shed, 14x24 feet, use one 2i^-inch flow and four 2-inch returns, CHANGING BOILEBS. I intend to make a change in my boilers and should like to know if I can use one boiler in place of the three I have at present. We have three houses, each 24x85 feet, all connected under the gutters, 'which are seven and one-half feet high. The ridges are fifteen tpet high. We also have one house at the end of these, 20x150 feet and fifteen feet to the ridge, with a 5-foot wooden wall on the outside; also two houses, each 18x75 feet and eleven feet to the ridge, with 4% -foot wooden walls. The boilers are in the workshed at the ends of these houses. At present we have the following piping in use in these houses: 2,600 lineal feet of 4-inch pipe, 300 feet of 21^-inch, 1,900 feet of 2-inch and 2,100 feet of 1^-inch. This heats our green- houses satisfactorily. We are using one cast-iron sectional boiler with a grate 30x30 inches, one with a grate 30x42 inches and one with a grate 24x30 inches.

We can get a return, tubular, firebox marine boiler of eighty horse-power, 5x12 feet, with forty-two 2-inch flues. The grate of this boiler is 4x5 feet. Will this boiler do the work of the three we havet We heat with hot water. J. N. C. If three boilers, with a combined grate area of twenty square feet, will heat the houses, there should be no difficulty in heating them with one boiler having the same grate area as the three small boilers. Judging, also, from the radiation in the houses, the boiler will be of ample size. A GEBANIUM HOUSE. I am building a greenhouse for the growing of geraniums and bedding plants. It is 20x50 feet and four %et to the eaves, with 18 inches of glass in the sides. It is ten feet six inches to the ridge. The walls are concrete. If I run two 2-inch flows overhead in the center, two feet below the ridge, with a rise to the farther end of the house, and then have them drop straight down, each flow going into a manifold and returning on the side walls with three 2-inch pipes to the boiler, would I get a good circulation and would that be sufficient piping to heat the house in this Pennsylvania climate! C. W. B. If 60 degrees is desired in a house 20x50 feet, with eighteen inches of glass in each wall, about 450 square feet of radiation will be needed, and it will be best to use three 2i^-inch flows and nine 2-inch returns. For 55 degrees, two flows and ten returns could be used. It will be best to have the highest point in the system near the boiler, and if the expansion tank is attached at that point, no air cocks will be neces- sary. By giving the flow pipes a slight fall, a better circulation can be se- cured than when they run upward.

There seems to be reason for indulg- ing in the hope that the lowest ebb of midsummer dullness has passed. Business in cut flowers has again com- menced. There is a steady demand for fancy asters and roses, but this de- mand has had a perceptible effect on several other varieties of flowers. The market conditions differ from last week in that there are more really fine asters coming in, the quality of many of Semple's and Vick's leaving little to be desired. The flowers are large, firm and well colored, with long stems and good foliage. The outside stock of asters is a failure here, on ac- count of the dry season. Various Notes. Everybody is home from the conven- tion and all speak in glowing terms of the hospitality shown the party from Baltimore, which numbered forty-six. It was considered one of the best at- tended conventions ever held. The ex- hibits were excellent in every respect. The exhibit of gladioli far exceeded anything ever shown before. The Baltimore florists were more than pleased with the election of JJichard Vincent as vice-president of the S. A, F. ■ Q- St. Joseph, Mo. — A party which in- cluded Frank Stuppy, of the Stuppy Floral Co., of this city, John Furrow, of Furrow & Co., Guthrie, Okla., Ernst Mueller and Carl Chesmore, seedsmen, of this city, and Kemper, Carter and Kaymond Mueller, left this city Fri- day, August 19, in two automobiles, bound for Denver, Colo. Mr. Stuppy 's car carried, besides himself and Mr. Furrow, 1,600 pounds of provisions and equipment, as it is the intention to camp out along the way and to hunt and fish through the Rocky mountains. The trip will cover a period of about three weeks, bringing the party back here early in September.

Vegetable Forcing. SOME BIG CUCUMBER HOUSES. The iSunny Brook Distillery Co., of Louisville, Ky., which for some time has made the growing of cucumbers a part of its business, is now erecting three huge greenhouses at Jacksonville, Fla. One of the houses, indeed, will be a mammoth affair, 114x400 feet, one of the largest structures of the kind in the world. Besides this house, there will be two smaller ones, each 60x400 feet. It is the intention of the owners to grow cucumbers exclusively, which are to be shipped directly to the New York market, for use in the most fashionable cafes and restaurants of the metropo- lis. The Sunny Brook distillery has for some time been operating plants of this character in all parts of the United States, and it is said to be the inten- tion of the company to consoHdate all of its plants at Jacksonville. The construction, as well as the man- agement of the plant when completed, will be under the able direction of R. L. Chamberlain, who formerly had charge of the company 's greenhouses in Grand Rapids, Mich. He has had wide experience in this line of work. The smaller greenhouses are nearly completed, and work on the large one will begin at once. It is expected that the entire plant will be completed by the middle of November. A large two-story building has been constructed, to be used for a packing house and for offices, and the plant will be modern and up-to-date in every detail. The plant is to be known as the Sunnv Brook Gardens. MANUEE FOR LETTUCE. I should like to know what fertilizer can be used in place of cow manure for bench-grown lettuce, here in southeast- ern Michigan. A. A. F. & S. If you cannot procure cow manure conveniently, sheep manure, which should be procurable at a moderate j)rice in your section, will answer well. Failing either of the foregoing manures, well decayed horse manure will be found satisfactory. I am acquainted with a number of first-class lettuce growers who use nothing but horse man- ure. C. W. Greensburg, Ind. — Dille & Konzelman report that their new range of 20,000 square feet of glass is now completed. About one-half the space is planted to Killarney, White Killarney, Bride and Maid, the other half being de- voted to carnations. They say the stock is in fine shape and will be ready for market soon.

Palmer A Son, two years after adopting the new constrnctlon— We have now had your Iron Frame Construction In use In our new car. nation range for two years, and have found It entirely satisfactory, amply strong, and at the same time casting the minimum amount of shade. We have in the past largely used the flat rafter type of Iron frame house, but adopted the King Type on its merits and not on the question of price, though (luotatlons we received for the flat Iron rafter houses were 40 per cent higher than yours. We consider the Iron Frame House the best, and believe that you have promoted the best Interests of growers by Introducing a superior type of Iron Frame Construction, which Is so reasonable In price that there is no longer any excuse for the building of either cheap wooden bouses or expensive types of Iron frame houses. Wishing you every success, we remain. Yours respectfully, W. J. PALMER & SON. Send for Balletin No. 36, which describes The King Iron Frame Construction KING CONSTRUCTION CO., North Tonawanda, N.
