Will someone who is familiar with storing plants please give me a fair idea of what it is worth to care for bay trees, standard ptants about eight feet high, with heads two feet in diameter? I had several such to store last winter and have no idea whether I charged enough or too much for storing them; hence I want to know what others ask for this service. I also have some hydrangeas in 24-inch tubs, and 1 should like to know what others charge tor storing them. E. L. In the first place, do not attempt to store or winter bay trees, hydrangeas or the like unless you have a suitable place for doing so. Storing plants is actually an accommodation; at least, this is the view that most florists take of it. Perhaps you sold the plants that are to be stored, or perhaps the owner of them is a good customer of yours. If you have a small house which can be kept just above the freezing point, then take the plants; otherwise you Lave a good excuse for refusing to care for them. Plants of this nature would probably live if kept in the shed, but would become covered with dust and dirt and in the spring would be in no condition to return to the owner. Bay trees and boxwood require but little attention during the winter and plants with 24-inch to 30-inch crowns can be stored for $5 a pair. This, of course would not be equivalent to the usual 'way of figuring the value of greenhouse space, as being worth $1 per square foot. Still, bay trees are only stored about eight months at a time, and they require little heat and will stand crowding. Hydrangeas should bring more money per square foot than bay trees. During the winter they can be kept with the bay trees, but towanl spring they must have more room, nifrte water and more fMAttention in ^&Beial. ^Plants in 34- inch tubs are easily worth $3 each for winter storage. The foregoing charges would include calling for and delivering the plants if they are within a reasonable distance. When a special trip has to be made to some country place, then a small extra fee should bo charged — perhaps what an expressman would charge, or a little less. Whoever is sent to call for the plants should be able to tell whether they are in such a condition as to be worth keep- ing over winter. If they are half dead, ^^^^^K-' '-'^Si 1 ^^^Br ^C^^^B ' ^^^^HMv « HM^^^; g ^^m 1 td H 2 1 ^9 BJl H R Kk^H ■^ 1 ll tb^I Sh ■ 1 i^^^i Human Existence. then it would be wise to suggest to your customer that it would probably be a waste of money to have the plants stored. H. S. Anderson, Ind.— Stuart & Haugh have been making extensive alterations and improvements in their greenhouses. AN UNKIND SUGGESTION. Mr, Editor: I want to tell you that it is not always advisable to follow your suggestions. I read in your paper a florist should be original and give his customers something new. So the other day, when a gentleman wanted something nice for the funeral of his aunt and left it all to me what to make up, I thought, "Here is my chance to make something tasty and original." I took the finest lily of the valley and Blanche Ferry sweet peas and made a fan for the old lady. Jt was a beautiful piece, and original, I too. The next day the young fellow came, I and, while I was awaiting a few com- i pliments on my work, after first im- pressing it on my mind what a kind ; old lady she was, he told me it was a j mean suggestion to a kind and good- hearted 6ld soul and he would not pay for it. He struck me almost speeoh- less, so I thought I would put it in writing and send it to you. Fritz Schneeglockchen. ANOTHER NEW IDEA. The paradip of decorated automobiles have become so common that these events now are considered as one of the florists' regular sources of busi- ness, as much to be depended on as any other aflfairs calling for flowers. But motor parades are not the latest; the new novelty, as the supply men sometimes put it, is the motor boat parade — the Venetian night at the sum- mer resort. At a recent water carnival on Okau- chee lake, Wisconsin, numerous prizes were awarded for the best decorated launches, sail and row boats. The ac- companying pictures show the first and second prize boats, which were deco- rated by August F. Kellner, their owner, who is considered one of Mil- waukee 's most artistic decorators. The boat which captured first honors was decorated with trees at the front, while at the rear were cat-tails, goldenrod, wild daisies and other wild odds and ends. The boat which won second prize was draped with bunting and fin- ished 6ff with garlands formed of oak leaves. As there were over seventy-five boats in line, the result of the competition 13 an honor for Mr. Kellner, of which he has a right to feel proud. B. O. GARDENIAS. Will you kindly inform us as to what treatment should be given cape ias- mines, what soil should be used and when they should be lifted? They are now in the ground. I am located in southwestern Michigan. j. "w. R. Gardenias or cape jasmines should be lifted and potted at once. I do not approve of the outdoor -culture of this p ant in our northern states. If in pots they will do well, but when planted out they lose a good deal at lifting time. Endeavor to procure all roots intact and a htle ball m a.ldition. For compost use two-thirds fibrous loam, with the finer particles shaken out, and one-third m,?PU "?'.' '"''T '"^""'•^J the latter Add ?o the %"'' *''?'-«'^ghly decayed.

Pot firmly and stand the plants in a close, moist house where they can be well shaded and free- ly syringed. As the roots work around the sides of the pots, give the plants more light and air, but avoid any hot sunshine until they are well established. If you want to grow in benches, plant twenty inches apart each way. Use no more than four inches of soil and let that be of a porous nature. For suc- cessful bench culture the best plan is to plant out from pots during June, and from plants lifted now you cannot ex- pect any blooms during midwinter. A night temperature of not less than 60 degrees^ is necessary for the successful culture of gardenias and 65 degrees is better. Allow the pots or benches to dry out well between waterings, to pre- vent yellow foliage appearing. Syringe to keep mealy bug in check. Gold water, carefully directed, will take care of this pest. « C. W, THE ASTES DISEASE. Aster growers have had an unfavor- able season this year. From the be- ginning dry weather set in and con- tinued without a break for nearly two months. The root aphis has been in evidence and the beetles have arrived in hordes. But that is not all. The most dreaded so-called "aster disease" is more pronounced than ever. What is it, anyway, and what is the cause? In my field it is interesting to note how this disease has distributed itself. Eight or ten or more consecutive plants will show the blight; then there is a skip, then more disease and so on. The present field never had an aster planted on it before, so the germs were not in the soil. The plants were large and thrifty when set out, with not a trace of disease on them. Actual experiments have shown that seed taken from the worst affected plants have produced healthy plants, without a trace of disease. Does this not upset the theory of plant breed- ing? From my own observations, I claim it is not a disease, but I have yet to prove it. In my field will probably be found an unusual percentage of affected plants. I think I know the reason. Is the soil poor?. No — black and rich as fertilizers and manure can make it, but it is acid. This soil, if taken into the greenhouse and planted to roses or used as pot soil for geraniums or al- most any other bedding plants, would kill them outright. This experience cost me a great deal of money, till I found out how to prepare my soil. Simple enough — just add lime. But now to get back to asters. I believe that soil conditions are respon- sible for the so-called disease. In my opinion asters are particularly suscep- tible to the action of acid, which the application of lime would counteract. The acidity of the soil may not be uniform, which would account for the diseased patches in my own field. This argument is but a theory, but next year I shall thoroughly lime my aster field and wait for results. J. L. Johnson. COBEOPSIS AND SHASTA SEED. In The Keview of July 2S, 1910, we noticed some notes on Chrysanthemum maximum Edward VII and Coreopsis grandiflora, in the Seasonable Sugges- tions. We have looked through several catalogues for the purpose of finding advertisements of the seed of these two perennials, but none of the firms seem to carry the seed. Would you please tell us where we could get seed of these two varieties, as we should like to sow some this fall? J. S. Coreopsis . grandiflora is an improved form of C. lanceolata, listed by nearly all reputable seedsmen and grown con- siderably for border effects as well as cutting. Chrysanthemum maximum King Edward VII is listed by Henry A. Dreer, of Philadelphia, and others. About all seedsmen carry one or more named forms of the Shafita daisy. In the catalogue of W. W. Eawson & Co., of Boston, Alaska, California and Wcs- tralia, all excellent varieties, are listed. C. W. DAHLIA STEMS TOO SHORT. Is there any way to make dahlia flower stalks grow long and useful? J. J. H. There is no way that we know of to make the flower stems of dahlias stronger. The cactus and decorative sections are notoriously short and weak. The pompons are longer and stronger; so are some of the show varieties. Cac- tus varieties with better stems are now being introduced, but there is still a vast field for improvement. For com- mercial use, select varieties which have strong stems; the short-stemmed ones, which hide their flowers, are of little value. 0. W. GBEEN CATEBPTT.T.ABS. What is the best way to get rid of the green caterpillar, the one which troubles the mignonette so much in the greenhouses and cabbage outdoors? G. T. S. C. There is only one way to get rid of the green caterpillars, and that is hand picking. Any spraying solution of a poisonous nature would burn or other- wise disfigure the plants. Hand pick- ing is slow, but it is sure. On cabbages outdoors, air- slaked lime blown through a powder bellows will kill many of the caterpillars. If the cabbages are not yet heading, it will be safe to spray with Paris green, one ounce to ten gallons of water. Salt scat- tered where the worms are at work will kill many of them, as will salt and water. C. W.

I read in your paper .1 Horist should be original and give ids customers something new. So the other day, when a gentleman wanted something nice for the funeral of his aunt and left it all to me what to make up, I thought, "Hero is my chance to make something tasty and original." I took the finest lily of the valley and Blanche Perry sweet jioas and made a fan for the old lady, it was a beautiful piece, and original, too. The next day the young fellow came, and, while I was awaiting a few com- pliments on my work, after first im- ]iressing it on my mind what a kind old lady she was, he told me it was a mean suggestion to a kind and good- hearted old soul and he would not pay for it. He struck me almost speech- less, so I thought I would put it in writing and send it to you. Fritz Schneeglockcben.

ANOTHER NEW IDEA. / The parades of decorated automobiles have become so common that these events now are considered as one of the llorists' regular sources of busi- ness, as much to be depended on as any other affairs calling for flowers. But motor parades are not the latest; the new novelty, as the supply men sometimes put it, is the motor boat paradi — the Venetian night at the sum- mer resort. .\t a recent water carnival on Okau- cheo lake. Wisconsin, numerous prizes were awarded for the best decorated launches, sail and row boats. The ac- companying pictures show the first and second prize boats, which were deco- rated by August F. Kellner, their owner, who is considered one of Mil- waukee's most artistic decorators. The boat which captured first honors was decorated with trees at the front, while at the rear were cat-tails, goldenrod, wJM daisies and other wild odds and I nds. The boat which won second pii/.e w:is drajied with bunting and fin- ished oil' with garlaiKJs formed of oak leaves. As there were over sevonty-five boats in line, the result of the competition H an honor for Mr. Kellner, of which le has a right to feel proud. E. O. GARDENIAS.

In The Keview of July 2S, 1910, we noticed some notes on Chrysantliemum maximum Ivlward VII and Coreopsis gianditlora, in the Seasonable Sugges- tions. We have looked through several catalogues for the purpose of fituling advertisements of the seed of these two perennials, but none of the firtns seem to carry the seed. Would you please tell us where we could get seed of these two varieties, as we should like to sow some this fall? J. S. Coreopsis grandi flora is an improved form of C. lanceolata, listed by nearly ail reputable seedsmen and grown con- siderably for border effects as well as cutting. ChrysantluMnum maximum King Kdward \'II is listeil by Henry A. Dreer, of Philadelphia, and olliers. .\bout all seedsmen carry one or more named I'orms of the Shasta daisy. In the catalogue of \V. W. Pawson ii; Co., (if Poslon, Alaska, California and Wts- trj'Jia, all excellent \arieties, are listed. C. \V. DAHLIA STEMS TOO SHORT. Is there any w.ay to make dahlia flower stalks grow long and useful .' J. J. II. There is no w.ay that we know of to make the flower stems of dahlias stronger. The cactus and decoriiti\e sections are notoriously short and weak, 'i'lie pompons are longer and stronger; so are some of the show varieties. Cac- tus varieties with better stems are now being introduced, but there is still a \ ast field for improvement. For com- mercial use, select varieties which have strong stems; the short-stemmed ones, which hide their flowers, are of little value. C. W. GREEN CATERPILLARS. What is the best way to get rid of the green cat(M-pillar, the one whicdi troubles the mignonette so much in tiie greenhouses anil cabbage outdoors? G. T. S. C. There is only one way to get rid of the green caterpillars, and that is hanicking. Any spraying solution of a poisonous nature would burn or other- wise disfigure the plants. Hand pick- ing is slow, but it is sure. On cabbages outdoors, air slaked lime lilown through a jiowiler bellows will kill many of the caterpillars. If the cabbages are not yet heading, it will be safe to spray with I'aris green, one ounce to ten gallons of water. Salt scat- ti>red where the worms are at work will kill many of them, as will salt and water. ' C. W. Canoe Decorated for a "Venetian Night" Parade. 10 The Weekly Florists' Review. Septembeb 1, 1910.

The bulbs of Lilium candidum usually arrive about the last part of August and should be potted as soon as possible after being received, as both leaf growth and root growth have already begun in many cases while the bulbs are in transit. There are two types of candidums on the market. The best are from the north of France. The bulbs of these are round, the scales thick, the foliage broad, and the flowers broad- petaled and carried eight to fourteen on a stem. The other type, which is most- ly in evidence, has broad bulbs, rather hollowed at the center; the scales are much thinner, the foliage narrow, the flower stalks thin, and the blooms are half the size of those of the good type. As a rule, three to eight flowers are pro- duced to the stalk. This type is not worth growing and has discouraged many from growing candidums. Candidums can be potted singly in 6-inch pots, but do much better if three to five bulbs are used in 8-inch and 10- inch pots. They also succeed well in boxes six inches deep. The bulbs should be covered two inches. Give a good watering, then keep tolerably dry until foliage has appeared. Too much water at first will rot the bulbs. Stand the pots or boxes outdoors on a bed of ashes, and leave them there until frosts come of sufficient severity to firm the soil in the pots, then stand in a cold- frame. For Easter flowering, house early in January and give a tempera- ture of 54 degrees at night. Candidums are ruined by forcing; the flowers are only one half the size of those grown ( oo^er. Berried Solanums. Early in September is a good time to lift and pot berried solanums from the field. These are now bushy and finely berried. The larger plants will require 6-inch pots, the smaller ones 5-inch. Pot firmly, soak well with water, shade for a few days, then give full sun and lots of water. Frequent sprayings over- head after potting will prevent wilting. It is astonishing how quickly the pots are filled with roots when they are kept freely syringed. These outdoor plants are bigger and better in every way than any which have grown during the summer in pots. Vallota Purparea. At present the brilliant Scarborough lily is in full bloom. It is often seen beautifully flowered outside humble cottages, far better than with gardeners and florists. This vallota dislikes fre- quent pottings and, like nerines and Amaryllis Belladonna, flowers best when well matted with roots. Any com- mercial grower who can get up a stock of this lily will have no trouble in dis- posing of it. Five-inch pots carrying three spikes and 6-inch pots carrying five to six spikes are pretty, but it is when in large pots that it is the most telling. A compost of loam, broken sandstone and dry cow manure suits vallotas. In winter, any temperature just clear of freezing will carry them over nicely. Euphorbia JaccLuiniseflora. Not so much grown as its value mer- its, Euphorbia Jacquiniaeflora, the bril- liant Christmas plant, makes new friends each year. Whether for selling in pots or pans, or selling in sprays, this is one of the best colored flowers we have for the holidays. To get extra fine sprays, which will bring good money, plant out one or two in boxes and let them run up the roof; or, if you have a bed where they can be al- lowed to go undisturbed for a couple of years, they will give some grand sprays. In pots or pans six inches in diameter, several plants together, they look well and it is now time to give them their final shift. If desired, put a few small pteris in with them to cover the soil from view. Like the poinsettias, they like a warm house to develop in, but for the next few weeks they will do well outdoors or with the protection of a coldframe. With the arrival of cold nights, place them in warmer quarters, or you may lose a lot of foliage. Annual Larkspurs. In winter ana early spring there is always too little variety in our cut flowers and anything out of the beaten track is welcome. It is true that it is hard to get some dealers even to try new things, but the progressive men are glad to get anything in the way of a novelty. Annual larkspurs are easy to grow and succeed even better under glass than outdoors. They are grace- ful, make charming centerpieces, and a large vase arranged with them at- tracts attention at once. There are some beautiful colors, including pale. blue, light pink, deep pink, pure white and dark blue. As a general rule, the white, light pink and lavender shades sell the best. This makes a good crop to follow mums with. Sow the seed now, in a coldframe or in flats. Pot off singly and grow in a frame or cool greenhouse until the .benches for them are ready. Place the plants a foot apart in the rows each way. They should not go any closer, as they branch considerably. Pinch out the central spike; then all the side shoots will come strong and uniform. f^aiiii GERANIUM CTJTTINQS. Early propagation of zonal geraniums often entails a heavy loss in damped- off cuttings. Should extremely hot weather come after the cuttings are placed in the sand, many will probably rot, particularly if they were soft cut- tings from outdoor plants. It is well to delay propagation as long as possible, as experience shows that with cuttings put in the saod early in October the loss is not one-tenth that of those inserted four to six weeks earlier. If the stock plants have been grown under glass, the wood will be harder and the liabil- ity of damping oflf greatly decreased. With outdoor cuttings, I like to leave them on a bench twelve to twenty-four hours after making, to dry somewhat, but not in the sun. Such cuttings show a smaller percentage of loss than those inserted as soon as made. There are various methods of propa- gation in general use — placing in sand benches, in flats of sand, and singly in small pots. Of these I prefer the flat system. Those started in flats, if well drained and stood on a shelf where they can get the full sun, should show fewer damped-oflf cuttings than under any other plan. There should be one thor- ough soaking, then comparative dry- ness until rooted, and after that merely sufficient moisture to prevent shrivel- ing. These cuttings, shaken out early in the new year, will have a veritable mat of fine roots and will grow fast when potted in light, rich soil. If placed on regular cutting benches, extreme care in wiring is necessary The sand should be fresh and the drain- age abundant. This plan will answer well if the sand is not needed for other cuttings until the mum season closes. In small pots the cuttings usually root well, fepace, however, is usually valuable at the time they are put in and pots need a Jot more space than flats. Much moro time IS also consumed in putting them in pots. * Some growers, both in the north and south, but particularly in the south, hnd that cuttings root much better out- doors than under glass. The trouble with this plan is that drenching rains some- times saturate the flats and cause a wholesale damping oflF. Each grower must adopt the plan best adapted for his particular section. All cuttings should be trimmed off closely; no leaves except extremely small ones should be left on. They will root whether cut be- low a joint or not, but I find the propor- tion of rotted cuttings is considerably lessened T^hen they are cut directly be- low a joint. GERANIUM CUTTINGS IN IeNCH.

No matter whether kept in sand or loam, the plan you suggest is a poor one and will give unsatisfactory re- sultB. It is far too long a period to leave cuttings without potting, and the chances are that many plants would damp off and others grow so robustly that they would lose much of their foli- age when lifted.

Pot culture, moving successively to 2-inch, 3-inch and 4-inch pots, may mean some more labor, but it is the plan which will give you far the best plants in the end, and we would advise you to adopt it. C, W. HALF-MILE FEONTS. Reproduced on this page are two of the most interesting photographs of greenhouse establishments ever made. The pictures show the two plants of Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton Grove, 111. The photographing of a modern range of greenhouses presents many diflSculties which may not have occurred to one who has not tried it. In the first place, with hundreds of thousands of feet of glass to be photographed, it is difficult to find a position from which all the glass may be within range of the camera at one time. Then, when such a position is found, either the dis- tance is so great that the details are lost, or else it is found that no lens has a sufficiently wide angle to get the entire establishment withip its scope. The photographing of the Poehlmann establishments has presented a pecu- liarly difficult task because of the great distance to be covered; plant B is near- ly half a mile long. Little could be done towards showing all of either of the plants until the revolving camera was used. A great many florists have seen these cameras employed in photograph- ing convention groups. The machine is set pointing at one end of the group, and, when it is started, revolves until it points to the other end of the group, in the meantime automatically exposing different parts of the film as it revolves. This gets a fine picture, but if the line to be photographed is a straight one the camera produces the effect of a re- versed curve, those standing nearest appearing the largest in the picture. To escape this distortion the photogra- pher arranges his group of people in a semicircle. Then the picture shows them as standing in a straight line and all the people of size in correct propor- tion. The revolving camera worked finely on the two Poehlmann plants, but as the greenhouses stand in a straight line, the picture presents the effect of a reversed curve. This result is more apparent in plant B than in plant A. Even with the revolving camera it was not possible to get the entire number of houses in plant B on the film, though the original photographs were in this instance thirty-two inches long. There are some dozen or more houses at the right that do not show. Build- ing is a fairly continuous performance with the Poehlmann Bros. Co.; usually there are houses just being started, others approaching completion, with further additions contracted for. At the time the pictures were taken the establishment was as complete as at any date in recent years. Practically everything which had been started was finished up, but there are .thirteen addi- tional houses arranged for, to be ready for early planting for next summer's cut flower production. CROOKED GLADIOLUS STEMS. What is the reason for gladiolus flow- er stalks growing crooked, and is there any way to prevent it except staking them? J. J. H. Some varieties of gladioli have an inherent weakness and invariably pro- duce crooked flower stems. Few of the really good named kinds have this fail- ing. Grow the bulbs in an open, sunny spot; in shade they are more liable to come weak-stemmed. It is best to dis- card sorts that persist in coming with crooked stems; it hardly pays to stake gladioli in commercial culture. C. W. VARIEGATED VINCAS. Will you kindly tell me how to grow variegated vincas? I have a nice lot of seedlings in the field, but being a begin- ner in the business I do not know what to do with them now. They are about three inches in height. L. M. S. Leave the vincas where they are. Keep them well cultivated. Lift and pot them about the end of September. The plants should require 4-inch or 5-inch pots. Stand them along the edges of the benches in any cool green- house for the winter. These will make splendid stock for spring and Memorial day sales. To increase stock for an- other year, root cuttings any time dur- ing the winter. Pot off, plant outdoors and treat in the same way as suggested. The cuttings, if soft, root easily, espe- cially the short ones rubbed off with a heel." W. C. Plant A of the Poehlmann Bros. G>., Morton Grove, III. 10 The Weekly Florists' Review.

September 1, 1910. AN AVERAGE CROP. How many blooms per season would be considered an average crop from the following carnations: Enchantress. Lawson, Lady Bountiful, Harlowarden.- M. A. Patten, Queen Louine and Vic- tory? L. M. B. If you get your carnations all into crop tolerably early, there will not be a great deal of difference in the number of blooms you will get per plant from each variety. They will likely run about as follows, in point of produc- tion: Queen, Mrs. Lawson, Harlowar- den, Lady Bountiful, Enchantress, Mrs. M. A. Patten, Victory. An average cut from Queen would be in the neighbor- hood of twenty blooms per plant, while that from Victory would run some- where around fourteen, with the other sorts strung along between those two figures. Your cut may vary some from these figures, according to the quality of your treatment and the adaptability of the variety to your climate, etc, I want to caution you here against being led astray by some of those Baron Munchausen stories which have been printed from time to time about phe- nomenal cuts of blooms, besides alleged robbing of cuttings beyond the average production of the plants. How any in- telligent being can give out such figures as facts, is more than I can understand. Certainly no experienced grower would believe them. I speak of that here, be- cause such tales are sure to cause more or less trouble for growers who are employed by owners of greenhouses who know little of such matters. It leads them to think that they are not getting fair returns from their glass, when per- haps they are getting the best returns. A. F. J. B. THE NORMAL TEMPERATURE. Kindly state the lowest temperature in which carnations can be successfully grown in the middle western states; also the highest practicable tempera- ture, Gr. B, The average run of carnations seem to do their best in a temperature around 52 degrees. When you go much above that figure, you do it at a sacri- fice of quality. The blooms lack sub- stance and size, the stems come weak and the plants lose in vitality generally. When it comes to lowering the tem- perature the effect is just the opposite, as long as yoa keep within reasonable limits. The blooms come larger, with more substance, and the stems are stronger. This, however, will be at the expense of quantity, and the lower you go the more you will cut down the quan- tity, while the improvement in quality will become slighter the farther you get away from the normal. In fact, after you get below 48 degrees there will be no improvement in quality. It has been established that the slight improvement in quality will not offset the decrease in quantity resulting from a temperature much below nor- mal, which is 50 to 52 degrees. A. F. J. B. LILIES FOR EASTER. Please tell me the best kind, size and planting time of lilies, to be grown in a temperature of 50 degrees, for Easter. I should like to have from two to five blooms to the plant. A. C. The most satisfactory lily for you to grow for Easter next year will be L. longiflorum giganteum. Bulbs of these are now said to be on their way from Japan, and, if potted any time before the middle of Octo- ber, will be in season for Easter, 1911, The size 7 to 9 will give you nice stems and you can plant one each in 6-inch pots. Keep them dark and cool until well rooted and starting to grow, being careful not to give much water until the pots are well filled with roots. If you put your plants in a tem- perature of 50 degrees at Christmas they will come on in good season. It takes fifty days to bloom them, from the time the buds can be counted, in an average night temperature of 50 de- grees. C. W. POT PLANTS FOR CHRISTMAS. I wish you would tell me what are the best plants to grow for pot plants, to be in bloom at Christmas, I have jirimulas, cyclamens and Jerusalem cher- ries, and also will have hyacinths. When should I pot them and when should I bring them to the light to have them ready for Christmas? Are there any other plants that I could have ready to sell at Christmas? L. H. T. Eoman hyacinths and Paper White narcissi, potted or placed in pans any time between now and the middle of September, will easily flower for Christ- mas. The Dutch bulbs, such as narcissi, tulips and hyacinths, are occasionally forced into bloom for Christmas, but are not of really good quality. The Paper Whites can be kept in the light all the time. Stand them under a green- house bench or in any shed or cellar. The hyacinths must be kept dark. House them five weeks before you want them and give an average night tem- perature of 50 degrees, or allow four weeks if kept at 60 degrees. Begonia Gloire de Lorraine is a good Christmas plant. Purchase some young plants now and pot them on. Poinset- tias are popular at Christmas, owing to the brilliant coloring of their bracts. They need a temperature of not less than 60 degrees to properly develop their bracts, but can be kept in good condition for weeks in a cool house while in flower. Some of the varieties of Azalea In- dica, such as Firefly, Mme. Petrick and Deutsche Perle, force well for Christ- mas. These arrive usually during Oc- tober, and after potting they need a warm, moist house and frequent syring- ings. Zonal geraniums, both single and double, are fine for Christmas. Keep the flower trusses picked off until the middle of November; then let the plants have a bench where they can get full sun. Erica melanthera is an easily grown heath, which flowers for Christmas. It needs a cool house. There are some other Christmas plants, but perhaps you may be able to fill your requirements from the foregoing. C. W. WORMS IN SOIL. I am annoyed with a black gnat, which makes a tiny white worm in the soil. I have tried 'kerosene emulsion, also tobacco, but neither has done any good. Can you tell me what to do? C L. S. Lime water should clean out the worms in question. Failing this, get a can of carbon bisulphide. A few drops will kill all worms or larvse in a pot six to eight inches in diameter. Simply make a hole with a pointed stick, pour in the carbon and imme- diately cover it up. The fumes are penetrating. In the benches or open ground, make holes eighteen inches apart each way and six inches deep. Put a teaspoonful in each hole. When the soil is damp, the fumes are most penetrating. Keep naked lights away when using the carbon, as it is liable to explode. The use of it will not in- jure any plants in the least degree, but it will surely kill anything living in the soil through which the fumes pen- etrate, C, W. MISS MARGARET ARMSTRONG. Miss Margaret Armstrong, of Spo- kane, Wash., is not only acknowledged to be one of the most successful busi- ness women of the city, but she has the further distinction of being the pioneer business woman of Riverside avenue. Seventeen years ago, when she began selling flowers, her entire stock in trade was displayed on a stand with about as much surface as an ordinary desk. The stand occupied a corner in a store in the Jamieson block, then just com- pleted. Now she rents an entire store at 807 Riverside avenue, where she con- ducts a business that requires a force of from twelve to fourteen assistants, including two expert decorators. And it is said that she possesses in a rate degree that executive faculty or in- stinct, quiet but forceful, which enables the head of an establishment to control every detail of a business without being personally conspicuous in the management of it. At the date when Miss Armstrong entered the florists' field, Spokane was absorbed in recovering from the great fire and had no leisure, apparently, for the proper appreciation of the fragrance and beauty of flowers. But Miss Arm- strong, with true courage and fore- sight, placed her little stand on the brink of the mercantile current. The display of flowers was slim and the choice limited in those days. Nobody thought of growing flowers in or about Spokane then. They had to be shipped !2*" Portland and Chicago. There were other drawbacks, but Miss Armstrong stood by her little stand in the corner. Sei'tember 1, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 13 It wasn't long until the appeal of the flowers prevailed and presently Miss Armstrong was deeply concerned with the problem of how to supply the de- mand. And this is still her problem, though competition now is keen. She has never made any attempt to grow her own stock. Her energy has created a branch business at Post Falls, where most of the roses she sells come from. Roses are the most popu- lar flowers in the city, and she has no difficulty in disposing of all she can procure. Carnations are close rivals of the roses, and these come largely from flower farms nearer Spokane. She does not find any great demand, she says, for the rarer varieties for tropical bloom. One reason for this is that the Spokane people who can afiford and prefer them usually spend a part of the year in southern climates. When they return they want the hardier flow- ers they have always been used to. NEW YORK. The Market. Seasonable rains and ideal summer weather prevail. The outdoor stock is now reaching the market in superb condition, and in enormous quantities. Asters dominate, with some grand s^.ock among them, vying with the mums in size and beauty. Prices are low in- deed for the common varieties and smaller sizes and even the best com- mands only $2 per hundred. Carnation shipments are light and of poor quality — hardly worthy a quota- tion. The few that come up to me- dium merit are bought before they ar- rive. The new roses are few and far between. The best of them find a ready demand and prices begin to make the grower hopeful, although there is no general expectation of improvement till after Labor day. Maryland, Killarney and Kaiserin are improving daily. Lilies advanced suddenly at the be- ginning of last week to double the quotations of the week end, the best of them bringing 8 cents. They remain firm this week, with the poorest down to 4 cents. The best valley brings $3 per hundred. The orchid supply and demand run about even. Gladioli are abundant and most of the arrivals sell at 50 cents and under. Only the new and selected stock, including the old standby, Amer- ica, go above the dollar mark. Hy- drangeas are showing color. Tritomas are abundant. With those and the new varieties of ferns, not forgetting an occasional vase of chrysanthemums and carefully selected crotons, the re- tailers manage to present respectable windows to the passing throng. A few cosmos and dahlias give premonition of a wealth of varied bloom, in time for the school opening and the return- ing '400. Various Notes. C. W. Jacob & Allison have been eighteen years in the importing busi- ness in New York. It is said they have for a long time been the largest importers of cape flowers in this coun- try. They are large receivers also of raffia and bark cloth from the produc- ing markets of these commodities. They say sales are large this season and the outlook is satisfactory for a fall re- vival in business. E. J. Bush, of the Ellenwood Green- houses, Hatboro, Pa., was in the city Miss Margaret Armstroog. last week on his way home from the convention, as the guest of George Saltford, to whom his shipments of cut flowers are made. W. N. Reed, of Reed & Keller, has returned from Europe in the best of health, after visiting nearly every Eu- ropean country. Mrs. Reed accompa- nied him. The three months' trip was largely for sightseeing, but he select- ed many novelties for his American trade and has several inventions he will ofl^er this season. Some of the new firms contemplating the opening of wholesale cut flower establishments on Twenty-eighth street will postpone the commencement of business until October 1. The general verdict is that September this year will be no exception to the rule of com- parative dullness. The New York retail houses with branches at Newport report a satisfac- tory season. Among southern visitors last week were Alexander Miller, of Dallas, Tex., and Harry Papworth, of New Orleans. Frank Duggan, with Rickards Bros., is home from his New England trip, after a two weeks' enjoyable vacation. Alex. McKenzie, the popular gardener of Glen Cove, is taking his vacation in Scotland. The Forster Mansfield Co. has just completed a thousand dollar contract for bay tree tubs, lattice work and settees for a large private estate near New York city. This firm will shortly occupy the entire building at 145 West Twenty-eighth street. The Kervan Co. has begun extensive improvements on its new store at 119 West Twenty-eighth street, where it will occupy the entire four-story build- ing, using its present quarters for stor- age. This firm is preparing for a big fall and winter business. Mr. Kervan has been enjoying his vacation with the reunion of the old soldiers in the east. James Slimon, who has been with J. M. Thorburn for over twenty years, has accepted the position as manager of Vaughan's Seed Store, lately occu- pied by C. W. Scott, who is now man- ager of the Yokohama Nursery Co. The veteran auctioneer, D. J. Elliott, announces the opening of the fall sea- son on Friday, September 16. Mrs. White, bookkeeper for the Growers' Cut Flower Co., is enjoying her holidays in the Catskills. Carroll Elliott, of W. Elliott & Sons, is away for two weeks on a fishing excursion at Barnegat and Atlantic City. Mr. Peth, of the same firm, has returned with his family from a two weeks' vacation at the seashore. John P. Cleary, who has been in charge of the plant auction department of the Fruit Auction Co. for some years, severed his connection with this house September 1. The MacNiff Horticultural Co. has rented the premises formerly occupied by the Cleary Horticultural Co. on Vesey street. David Adams, for many years with J. M. Thorburn, has returned from a two weeks' vacation in the Catskills with his family. The Stumpp & Walter Co. is much pleased with the result of its enter- prise at the Rochester convention, and has already declared its intention of making a larger exhibit at Baltimore.

F. for New York, was an item showing a tendency i»f the times that is worthy of special mention. It is to the effect that land in the vicinity of New York city (and other large cities) is so high in price that it makes it impossible for flofists to extend any farther without getting beyond wagon reach. This will mean the growing of fewer potted plants, hut more cut flowers. W. A. Sperling, of the Stumpp & Walter Co., has just returned to the i-ity, having visited friends in Cleve- land and Pittsburg after the S. A. F. convention. David Adam, for ten years with J. M.

Cut flowers have been rather more plentiful the last week. Business shows a slow but steady improvement and the markets were fairly well cleaned up each day. Asters are the |)redominant flower of the day and are much more abundant. _As a consequence, I trices have dropped sharply and flowers worth $3 per hundred ii week ago are now to be had at one third of this figure. The quality of asters con tinues uniformly good. Gladioli are less plentiful than they were. Good Americas readily bring $;") to $6 per hundred, other varieties $3 to $4. The quality is not so good as a few weeks ago. Sweet peas are not plentiful; really good ones are ex- tremely scarce. Roses are improving a little in qual- ity. Last week's hot wave made them overabundant and hard to dispose of. Carnations of the new crop are as yet only seen in limited numbers. A few of the old crop are still coming in, but cut little figure now. There has been a fair call for longiflorunis, but specio- sums have not moved so well. Valley is not abundant, but sells quite well. The advance guard of the mum army, in the form of Golden Glow, is already in evidence. The best make $1.50 per dozen. For candytuft and cosmos the demand is rather poor, nor are dahlias in much request. Tuberoses are seen, but there is no great call for them. Asparagus and adiantum are of fine (piality, but the sales are not yet heavy. Flower Market Auction. The annual auction sale of stalls at C Park street, where the new Boston Flower Exchange, Inc., sells its goods, took place August 27, and the results were of a most gratifying nature, higher prices being recorded than ever before in the history of Boston 's whole- sale flower market, extending over eighteen years, the aggregate premiums totaling $7,000. This is in addition to an annual rental of $2o per stall. Among some of the higher prices paid for choice of stalls were: Thomas Roland, $130; J. A. Budlong Co., $115, $115, $80; F. Sutermeister Estate, $120. $120; Montrose Greenhouses, $115, $115; Andrew Christensen, $120, $120; Peirce Bros., $130, $100, $100, $100; William Sim, $120, $120; Paine Bros., $100, $100; John J.

Golden (Jlow chrysanthemums are .already seen in fine quality in the market. I'aine Bros., of Randolph, have a fine lot at C Park street, also S. J. Goddard, of Framinghani. B. P. Winch, of tS-amingham. is among the first of the carnation spe- cialists to bring in good flowers of the new season's crop. H. F. Calder, of Norwood, who sells at C Park street, and G. L. Le Carpen- tier, of Lexington, whose stall is at 2 Park street, have the finest sweet peas arriving at present. Sidney Hoffman, the well-known Massachusetts avenue and Cambridge florist, arrived home August 29, after an enjoyable and profitable trip. Mr. Hoffman visited growers and markets in Germany, France, Belgium, Holland and England. He was chiefly inter- ested in plants, and of these he saw many beautifully grown batches show- ing great cultural skill. In the way of flowers and floral designs, he does not think Europe can teach us anything. During his entire visit he only expe- rienced one day with rain. George W. Butterworth, of South PVamingham, returned last week from his annual European trip, which took in both Great Britain and the conti- nent, orchids and bulbs being special objects of his visit. Harry Wildan, a Bostonian, now of Greenwich, Conn., has been spending a few days visiting places of horticul- tural interest in and around Boston, with his wife and family. He has been enjoying a vacation at Monument Beach. Thomas Mulligan, one of the oldest and best known of Boston's market oardeners, died at his home in Revere, Mass., August 28, aged 89 years. Peter M. Miller, of the T. J. Grey Co., is enjoying his vacation mostly at Cotuit, Mass., where fishing is good. .1. P. A. Guerineau, of the same firm, lias just returned from a fortnight's vacation. Alexander P. Dewar, head of the flower seed department of R. & J. Farquhar & Co., is at Showhegan, Me., for a few weeks. W. P. Collins has purchased the Rr-E. Lassman greenhouses and good will at \V;itertown, Mass. He will make many improvements and grow a general line of plants and cut flowers, selling the same at 2 Park street. Weather conditions continue unfavor .ible for crops, the drought being only relieved by occasional scattered show- ers. Boston from July 1 to August 30 lias a deficiency of 4.88 inches in rain fail. During August less than an inch fell. Thomas Pegler is back at his stand at C Park street, well tanned, after a vacation spent in Maine following the S. .v. F. convention. We regret to hear of (he serious sick iiess of F. R. Mathieson, of Clematis Brook. Mr. Mathieson is one of our oldest and most respected florists, and we hope his recovery may be speedy. W. N. Craig. ROCHESTER. The effect of a great convention on the public at large is usually most no- ticeable in the days immediately fol lowing the event, but the local news paper notices, the entertainments and the excursions during the S. A. F. • onvention week served to bring the florists' business before the public in a much larger measure than ever be fore. The amount of space given by the press to the S. A. F. was of almost inestimable advertising value, and the local trade should reap a large share of the benefits derived from such pub- licity. Since the close of the session much has been published and on Sun day, August 28, one of the local papers gave nearly a page to convention views as a part of its illustrated sun pleincnt. With the impetus given bv -the convention, Rochester florists and growers ought to push Rochester grown flowers and plants into a far wider territory than now covered The aster season is here; blooms have ShinT"^i 't ''"'? •'"'^' '*' hut until with n the last week or two the sup- '' 'ooi'l 'r° ''"''''''■ ^^'"-thing ll^fe H.r? lo f ^ ''' r^'^'"^'"*''^^'! by George Hart last week, and some growers shin to out-of-town dealers direct The stoel Eiis'^of ViolerSg a'T^herrT- thet'ancM ^; a"S,?"uf " T ^^'^'^ will see thousands ;f A ^''''*'*"^««'< present indicatS tl win b?'f k"7 quality.

The Weekly Florists' Review* 15 MINNEAPOLIS. The Market. Cool weather prevailed last week, with a lack of sunshine, which retarded the blooming and made stock scarcer than ever. Roses arc? straggling in in pretty fair quantities. Carnations have not made their appearance as yet. As- ters are extremely small, and only those grown under glass are of any account. Gladioli are more or less plentiful and there are quite a few rubrum lilies on the market. Various Notes. The Minneapolis Floral Co. has a fine house of smilax ready to cut, and also some good Harrisii coming into bloom. T. H. Hall has been cutting good ru- brums. Mr. and Mrs. Hall and daugh- ter, Edith, took an extensive trip throughout the east, stopping at Niagara Falls, Chicago and Detroit, Mich. Mrs. Hall is still east, but she expected to return in the first part of September. H. B. Whitted finds business excellent at both stores, but says that stock is scarce. 0. C. Swanson has an assortment of •Japanese baskets and vases which are in a class by themselves. R. A. Latham has had a great deal of funeral work lately, and business is good. Miss M. A. Scanlan is returning to the Minneapolis Floral Co. as bookkeeper September 1, succeeding Mrs. E. B. Weiss, who left August 31. M. E. M. CINCINNATI. The Market. Last week business started slowly and increased in volume each day as the week progressed. In the latter part of the week the wholesalers were kept busy. Practically everything really worth while was cleaned up. The prices were fair. Late asters are now arriving in quan- tity, and in stem and bloom are of ex- ceptional quality. They find a ready sale. Eoses are in good supply. Beau- ties easily lead in general excellence and quantity. Fine Taft roses are also coming in good numbers. My Mary- land and Rhea Reid, while not so plen- tiful, are good. Many "White Killar- neys and Maids from the new stock a're offered. The good glads sell read- ily, while the smaller and poorer ones accumulate in the wholesale houses. Lilies are getting scarce. Dahlias, cos- mos and tuberoses are coming in regu- larly. The green goods market is good. Various Notes. Visitors to the Ohio Valley Exposi- tion on Monday, August 29, the formal opening day, were agreeably surprised at what had been accomplished in the way of decorations with natural plants and bedding. There are flowers wher- ever one turns and still the effect is pleasing, for they are not overdone; there are just enough. There is a small shifting of plants from time to time as th& center of attraction shifts. J. Charles McCullough had charge of the features of trade interest, assisted by B. P. Critchell. Over fifteen carloads of trees and plants were secured and planted under their direction. The J. M. McCullough 's Sons Co. is receiving Taft roses, which are in full crop at the greenhouses of the Hyde Park Rose Co. P. J. dinger has a good supply of Beauties. L. H. Kyrk, who always has novel- ties in flowers for the various seasons, now has Clematis paniculata. He is also getting his first dahlias and cosmos. C. E. Critchell is receiving large shipments of late asters from New York state. E. G. Gillett continues to have a large supply of Beauties. William Murphy offers tuberoses, dahlias and asters. William Pfeiffer, of Fort Thomas, besides attending to his flower business, is interested in raising ponies in a com- mercial way. He entered about twenty of his fine stock in the parade under the auspices of the Ohio Valley Ex- position, August 29. Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Kyrk, Mr. and Mrs. J, A. Peterson and Albert Sun- derbruch have returned from their trips. Mrs. P. J. Olinger and family have returned from Chicago, after having spent several weeks there on a visit. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Taylor, of Rome, Ga., stopped in the city on their way home from Chicago. Harry Papworth, of New Orleans, stopped here August 27 on his way home. Mr. Sutterfield, of Winchester, O., and Frank Farney, representing M. Rice & Co., were also recent visitors. The latter reports a brisk business. Mr. and Mrs. George Gardiner, of Daytona Beach, Fla., are visitors in this city and will attend the exposi- tion. Mr. Gardiner was prominent in the florists' business in this city more than thirty years ago. C. H. H. EBIE. The Market. We have a dry spell at present and rain would be greatly appreciated in this section. Trade conditions are not changing much. Good stock is moving well. Roses are coming in better than heretofore, while carnations are ex- tremely scarce. Adiantums, asparagus and smilax are plentiful. Various Notes. Mr. Wise, of the Erie Floral Co., has commenced to stock up the Niemeyer place, which has been vacated by the Baur Floral Co. Mr. Wise will manage the Niemeyer place in connection wth the adjacent houses of the Erie Floral Co. Wm. F. Kasting and family, of Buf- falo, N. Y., are spending the summer months in Erie. Mr. Kasting spends part of his time in Buffalo, looking after his business interests there. The Baur Floral Co. has a fine new automobile delivery wagon. L. A. Spoden has had fine pansies to cut from all summer. Theodore Krichels, a florist of Hano- ver, Ont., stopped in Erie August 24 on his way to Cleveland. From there he will go to New York and will sail for Europe in September, to claim an inher- itance of 32,000 marks (about $8,000), left him by the will of his uncle, Lud- wig Krichels. The home of the Krich- els is in Cologne, on the Rhine. John Kallenbach has been removed from St. Vincent's hospital to his home on West Twenty-sixth street. He is getting along as well as can be expect- ed, but will be confined to his home for some time. James F. Smith, representing Wm. J. Boas & Co., of Philadelphia, was in Erie August 25 on business. B. F. DETBOIT. The Market. The wedding bells are ringing and the brides are happy; so are the flo- rists. Weddings seem to be the rage this summer in Detroit, creating a big demand for valley and white roses, as well as other stock. For some days there has been a lack of the usual run of funeral work. Stock is plentiful. Roses are of good quality and prices right. Red roses are especially good. Some of the finest asters seen for some time are avail- able and naturally find a ready sale. Green is in good demand. Smilax is being used in large quantities. Various Notes. Another retail store is soon to be added to the list of flower stores in this city. Considering the sixty-three per cent or more of an increase in the population of Detroit in the last ten years, there is still room for a few more stores. John Kline, who has been in the employ of Breitmeyer's for many years, working in every capacity in the store, will open a store on the corner of Forest avenue and Chene street sometime in September. He is an ener- getic young man and well liked. After touring in the east for nearly two weeks in the touring car of Mr. Smith, of Cleveland, Mr. and Mrs. Fet- ters are again at home. Although Mr. Fetters says he feels as though he should take another week off to get rested up, he has nevertheless put on about seven pounds of weight. If ever there was a florist heels over head in work, then Robert Watson is that florist. Winter is rapidly coming on and his whole plant is still level with the ground, being remodeled. The new houses will run north and south and will be strictly modern. A Kroe- schell boiler is en route from Chicago to take the place of the old steam boiler. A. B. Lewis, of Pontiac, is doing himself great credit with the asters he is shipping to this market. Another shipper of good quality asters is A. C. Eoegner, of Troy, Mich. R. O. Koehler, of 623 Gratiot ave- nue, has given up his greenhouse on St. Aubin avenue and will hereafter conduct only the store. Mrs. Robert Rahaley is still visiting friends at Mackinac Island, and poor "Bob" has to get his own breakfast. Charles Plumb returned from Europe August 28, having visited many of the principal cities in the old country. Just before leaving Southampton, England, homeward bound, our ex-presi- dent procured a copy of the Weekly Florists' Review, which was devoured with much interest while crossing ihe Atlantic. The Detroit visitors to the Rocnes- ter convention, singly and collectively, have only words of the highest praise for the hospitality shown them. All 16 The Weekly Florists' Review. Septkiibkb 1, 1910. unite in pronouncing it "the best con- vention ever." Among the recent visitors here were: William Craig, of Philadelphia; J. J. Karins, with H. A. Dreer, and M. Reu- kauf, with Bayersdorfer & Co. H. S. PEOVIDENCE. The Market. The ordinary midsummer quiet was generally dispelled last week by the unusual demand for funeral pieces. Ee- ports from all of the downtown dis- tricts, as well as the outlying stores, showed that all were busy, the work being well distributed. Asters have the center of the stage and are uncom- monly good and plentiful. Prices aver- age normal, with considerable range. There are a few carnations, ordinary in character, while roses are a trifle off. Club Meeting. The first meeting of the Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island, after the summer vacation, was held at the rooms of the association in this city, on Monday evening, August 15, and was well attended. President Robert Johnston was in the chair. The following candidates were elected to membership: John Burke, of Johnston; Albert Holscher, of Olney- ville; Charles Jackson and H. C. Neu- brandt, of this city, and Matthew J. Leach, of Pawtucket. There was a gen- eral discussion as to the programs for the meetings during the coming fall and winter. Various Notes. Theo. R. Peterson, proprietor of the Hogg Greenhouses, on Benefit street, is making extensive repairs and improve- ments at his range. M. Macnair reports an unusual run of business during the last couple of weeks, especially in funeral work. Louis Clarner has given up market gardening and is to devote one house, 30x100 feet, at once to carnations. Walter S. Sword, of Valley Falls, has all the work he can attend to spraying shrubs and trees. J. Kopelman furnished several hun- dred purple asters for the outing of the Providence Lodge, Order of Elks, August 17. Max Villier, with Johnston Bros., is on his vacation, which he is spending in canoeing. Eugene Appleton has been appointed a member of one of the principal com- mittees for the observance of Colum- bus day by the Knights of Columbus, in October. Frederick Covill, manager of the flower department of the JShepard Co., is on his vacation. William Appleton, who has been on the sick list, is able to be out again. Mr. Miller, who formerly conducted the Rhode Island Greenhouses in this city, but is now in business in the south, was in the city last week, call- ing on old acquaintances. John Burke, of the Burke Rose Co., promises an extra heavy cut of roses the coming season. Alex. Macrae was a recent visitor in Boston. William Hay has completed another of his houses at Oaklawn. J, Frank Schellinger has an unusually fine lot of fancy melons in one of his largest houses at Riverside this sum- mer. Visitors: Mr. Franklin, of Franklin & Crosby, of Danielson, Conn.; Mr.' Green, of Bayersdorfer & Co., of Phila- delphia, and a representative of H. M. Robinson & Co., of Boston. W. H. M. COLUMBUS, O. The Market. Trade is rather quiet here at present, with stock quite scarce. Carnations are just beginning to make their ap- pearance from new stock, and in the next week or so there will be a fair cutting; stems are rather short on the first ones, but are getting better every day. Roses are not plentiful, but quality is good, considering the extremely warm weather we have had lately. There will be some good Killarney in a few days, as the stock looks fine. There is a little white Killarney planted that looks unusually promising. Asters are almost a total failure here in the late varieties, but there are some few good ones which bring a good price. Some growers have made nothing out of their asters this season. There are a few rubrum lilies and some Har- risii, but demand is light on them. The outlook now indicates a good supply of greens the coming season, as there is considerably more planted than usual.- There is not much call for pot plants; ferns have the preference, but demand even for them is light. Various Notes. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is breaking ground for a dwelling house, also for a greenhouse 25x135 feet and another 15x135 feet, all to be erected at the country plant. E. Metzmaier reports plenty of work on hand getMng things in shape for the coming season. I. D. Seibert returned from Michigan and reported a fine time, with good fishing. James McKellar and wife returned August 29 from Greenfield and Chilli- cothe. R. A. Currie has returned from his fishing trip along the lake. He reports plenty of bites, but not from the fish. The street car strike is still on here, with no signs of a settlement in sight, but the state fair will be held, regard- less. J. M. OBITUABY. Peter Casey. Peter Casey, for over half a century a resident of Pawtucket, R. I., died August 26, aged 75 years. Mr. Casey was a native of Ireland, and came to this country, settling at Pawtucket, fifty-one years ago. He held various gardening positions, but had been in the employ of the city of Pawtucket for the last twelve years. He was a mem- ber of the common council of Paw- tucket in 1896-97. He leaves a widow and seven children. John W. Young. John W. Young, one of the oldest and best known citizens of Fall River, Mass., died rather unexpectedly, August 26, after being ill only a couple of days. He was 69 years old. The deceased was an expert landscape gar- dener and for many years had employed a gang of men caring for grounds and gardens in the residential section of the city. He leaves three daughters. Edward T. O'Hara. Edward F. O'Hara died at his home in Newport, R. I., August 19, after an illness of several weeks. For more than twenty years he had been the head gardener in charge of the estate of George H. Norman, in Newport. He was born in Lancashire, England, and came to this country about twenty- seven years ago, and soon afterwards settled in Newport. He made a spe- cialty of landscape work and was suc- cessful in the transplanting of large trees. The handsome beeches at Belair are monuments to his skill. His widow, two •laughters and one son survive him, another son having died about two years ago. William B. Whittier. William Benjamin Whittier, the well- known and popular proprietor of the Framingham Nurseries, Framingham, Mass., died August 28, after a short illness. Mr. Whittier was a native of Nova Scotia. He had built up one of the finest nursery businesses in the east, his nurseries being the most ex- tensive in Massachusetts, stock being shipped to all parts of the United States,, as well as abroad. The Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Boston a year ago spent a most enjoyable field day at his- nurseries and was well entertained.. ^^^neral services were held at his late residence, Lawrence avenue, Framing- ham, August 30, when many in the- trade attended, and the wealth of floral tributes attested the great esteem in which he was held. £. C. Lufkln. Everett C. Lufkin, for twenty years a florist on Lexington street, Lynn, Mass., died suddenly at his home,. 10 Lexington street, August 22, of acute heart disease. The deceased was born in Lynn sixty-four years ago, and had always resided there. He was a member of the Maple Street M. E. church, and had a large circle of friends. He is survived by a widow, Abbie M. Lufkin, one son, Will- iam E., and one stepdaughter, Miss Netta M. Barker. One sister, Mrs Robert Leslie, of Swampscott, and two brothers, William and Sylvester, both ot Lynn, also survive. W. O. Gano. W.

Lockport, N. Y. — A feature of the recent Old Home week was a parade of decorated vehicles. While the float of Charles L. Dole was not the largest or most elaborate, he received many compliments on it as the most artistic in the line. A floral harp stood in the center of the platform. It was five feet high, made of Lilium rubrum with a base of pink gladioli. Doves on the corner posts of the float held garlands of Asparagus plumosus and silver tinsel, which was brilliant in the sunshine. The garlands of smilax were caught up with a bunch of Harrisii and a large bow and streamers of pink tarlatan, chiffon being too delicate for outdoor effect. The driver wore a blue uniform with white cap and gloves. Mr. Dole says the expense and work involved were well repaid by the favorable impression made on the public, and its advertising power has been far-reaching and bene- I ficial. 18 The Weekly Florists' Review.

Early in the week it hurt, but later it helped. Excessive heat and humidity caused the demand to run down hill until Thursday, August 25, which many houses report to have been not only the dullest day of the week, but of the month, while some say it was the dullest day of the summer. However dull it was, there was a prompt recovery as soon as the cool wave struck, and by Sunday noon the rather alarming accumulations of stock had been cleaned up. It was warmer again at the opening of the current week, but Monday showed a really first- class demand, calling principally for asters and roses, and the following days have seen a fair measure of ac- tivity. Everyone feels that the cor- ner has been turned and that busine* will increase steadily during the next three months. The supply of Beauties has increased slightly since last report. Most of the crop is of medium length, coming from young stock, but there is enough of the longer stemmed flowers so that buy- ers of hundred lots who are not too particular as to quality have been able to negotiate some concessions in price Of other roses there has been some de- crease in supply, the first crop from the early planted houses having passed off and the cut from the rested plants and the later planted houses being still m prospect with many growers.

Phone Cestrsl 1496 PrlTSte ExehsBce all Depsrtmentt is some splendid stock about. So large a part of the retail business is funeral work that there have been afternoons when cheap white was not to be had, although fancy, long-stemmed white were available in fair quantity and there were uncounted — and unsalable — thousands of asters of undesirable col- ors and undesirable quality. The sale for pink asters is limited, and espe- cially so in the poor grade, while for the dark colors the call is only a frac- tion of the call for white. Last week's storm did considerable damage to gladioli and for two or three days sales were diflScult because of the condition of the stock. It is bet- ter now. The supply is on the down grade, several large growers having sent advice of cutting the last of this season's crop, but there still are plenty, with some to spare. Next year Amer- ica, King and Augusta will be grown more extensively and the mixtures hardly at ail for this market. There are a few dahlias, as an indication of the approacii of the close of summer. As a sumTuer flower Chrysanthemum Golden Glow has proven a distinct fail- ure; it is not wanted. There have been more or loss of it in the market for almost Ihe whole of the summer and now thti quantity is considerable. Where the first early yellow mums lirought $3 to $4 per dozen, these sold from $2.50 down to .$1.50, and some houses say there has been no demand that would take uj) all the receipts until the cheap-sales stores were brought into the deal by offering them the mums at whatever price they w»mld give for the day old or older stock. These mums may have paid some grow- ers, but if so they certainly are the exception. There are plenty of lilies and valley, but carnations are about at the low ebb. Cattleyas also are in light sup- ply, but also in slight request. Asparagus is selling well. There is a good supply of all other greens. The wholesale houses will now keep open until 6 p. m. Don't forget that Monday, Septem- ber 5, is a holiday, that there will be only one delivery of mail and that the wholesale houses will close at noon. Orders should be wired early. EVERY DAY New, Fresh Ribbons come from our looms; these are the qualities we ofEer. DIRECT TO THE FLORIST Lowest prices, best qualities. Samples will prove assertions, postal brin^ samples. THE PINE TREE SILK MILLS CO. PHILADELPHIA Mention The Review when you write. August Business. Summer business is increasing each year. Not so long ago the wholesale stores only were kept open in August as a matter of form, just so there would i)e someone to extend the glad hand to a customer who might drop in for a social call. But now August turns a ])rofit for a good many people in the flower business and it pays to keep up the regular business gait. The month just closed was certainly the best August in the history of the market. It afforded a quite respectable volume of business, with a promise of much l)etter things to come. Various Notes. Louis Wittbold, of the George Witt- bold Co., is suffering from his annual attack of hay fever. He reports that business has been better all summer than it was a year ago. This company is building a number of cement hot- beds at the Edgebrook plant. The possibility of a reduction of ex- press rates affords much joy. The rates have gone uj) so steadily, and are now so high that growers, wholesalers and buyers will welcome a turn in the other direction. John Zech and Allie Zcch were struck b}' an automobile as they were cross- ing Dearborn street on Randolph on their way home Saturday afternoon, August 27. Mr. Zech was knocked down and a wheel passed over both feet, inflicting a painful but not nec- essarily dangerous injury. In addition he suffered bruises on the hip and hand. Allie got off with a couple of cuts and the ruin of a pair of trousers. APHINE Does destroy (Treen, Black and White Fly, Red Spider, Thrips, Mealy Bug and Scale.

The Weekly Florists' Review. 27 Our Display Scored the Greatest Triumph Over All We are receiving congratulations from every section of the country on our exhibit at the Rochester Convention. People are talking about it everywhere; they say that the greatest convention of the S. A. F. O. H. was held at Rochester last month; they say that the feature of that convention was our exhibit; nothing like it has ever been seen in this country or anywhere else before. Our friends are enthusiastic over it. Our supporters are in= creasing in numbers. The reason is plain: Our exhibit was the largest; every article in our comprehensive exhibit was patiently selected by us. The experience of years enables us to know a good thing when we see it; when we don't see it we make it. The American florists appreciate this and are coming to us more and more for what they need.

Don't forget the Florists' Club meet- ing, which takes place at Weber's Nursery, Thursday afternoon, Septem- ])er 8. ,r. .T. B. ALIEGANY, N. Y. The first summer flower show, held in the town hall August 21 and 22, was a splendid success. Great credit for this is due to Mrs. Alfred Keyes, of Gowan- da, who has had considerable experience in superintending similar exhibitions, which are becoming very popular throughout the Empire State. George P. Graham and John Leipold, both craftsmen from Bradford, Pa., were judges in the plant sections. Dana E. Herron, of Olean, and Walter Mott, of Newburgh, were the judges of cut flowers, and agreed that the exhibit of sweet peas was the best seen this sea- son. Mr. Herron offered several prizes to be competed for. Two entries of native wild flowers, gathered and ar- ranged by two schoolgirls, .Misses Rose Wheeler and Ethel Horton, showed great skill. M.

"Not only is the time of high prices here, but the day of low prices for seeds is gone, I think, forever. Seed prices this season, and undoubtedly next season, will be higher than ever before in the memory of this generation. The shortage this year, following on last year's shortage, is so acute that it will take at least two and probably three consecutive years of good yields to get back a comfortable warehouse supply. I do not believe that the next five years will see any surplus of seeds; that is to say, conditions of growing and increase in demand are such that a return to a normal business basis cannot be had much under five years. I do not expect that we ever shall get back to the low prices of a few years ago; the day has forever gone for buying turnip seed in England at 6 cents per pound. "There are a number of reasons why seeds never again will be cheap. In the first place, so rapid is the increase in the world 's population, and so still more rapid is the increase of wealth and the rise in the standard of living, that before long there either will be twice as many seedsmen as now, or the present number will be selling twice as many seeds as now. Where are they to come fromt "It is a fact known to all seedsmen who deal in a large way that, the world over, there are not now as many acres under seed crops as there ^ were five years ago; the decrease has been par- ticularly sharp in the last two years, and the only thing that can prevent a still greater reduction in acreage next year is an increase in the price paid to growers sufScient to make seed crops at Bridgeman's Seed Warehouse XstabUsHed 18S4.

It must not be forgotten that the farm values of all crops have risen sharply the world over the last few years, and no one will expect the farmer to perform the extra work required on seed crops unless he can make more money than he can from corn or wheat or potatoes. There are not now so many farmers growing seeds as there were ten years ago. You can't prevail on some of them to plant the crops at any prices within reason. It becomes more difScult each year and the results this year will add still fur- ther to the difficulty. For our 1911 mangel we give the farmers 2 shillings per hundredweight advance over the 1910 contract price; on turnip, 1 to 2 shillings advance; on beet, 3 to 4 shil- lings advance; and it's hard to get the contracts^-placed, at that. "This leads up to another tendency in the seed growing business fostered by the present conditions. In France generally speaking, the small farmers are no longer willing to take contracts to grow seeds at fixed prices; they want the market value at date of delivery.

Mention The Review when vou write. crops worth on the open market at date of delivery a considerable advance over the contract price; in fact, frequently several times as much as they had agreed to grow the crop for. Now, the French farmer is a frugal person; he believes in the old adage, "Watch the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves"; he is able to finance himself, and he won't grow seeds for one except on his own terms, except one be blessed with extraordinary powers of persuasion. V'Some of the continental houses countenance the practice of growing crops at open prices, and make a con- tract with the farmer whereby they agree to take his crop and pay for it a fixed percentage, varying from seventy- five to eighty per cent, of the price printed in the buyers' wholesale cata- logue. "Such a custom does not meet with universal approval. Whatever may be said in its favor, it opens the way for unscrupulous dealing, several instances of which already might be cited, and it certainly discourages foresight, the seedsmen 's faculty heretofore of great- est value; it reduces the seedsman to the position of a mere broker, the sales- man of the grower paid a commission for hiis service. "Then, to go back to the outlook for the immediate fpturc, there is the mat- ter of stock seeds. Warehouses are bare; supplies are, one would say, down to the irreducible minimum; but the fact is, they can and will go still lower. Take peas, for instance; with the world 's crop this year turning out only twofold, and with peas on hand worth .$7, $8 or probably $10 a bushel in hard cash, who is going to risk them in the ground for seed growing? Of course, stock seed is going to be scarcer than ever it was. "In the matter of peas and as show- ing the shortage, before I left home I notified each of our American custom- ers that I was coming to visit them, and asked any who wished to communicate with me to do so at Hotel Imperial, New York. When I reached there I found fourteen letters from American seedsmen, and of the fourteen, eleven asked quotations on peas." The point will be apparent, as peas are imported only when extremely jr RELIABLE SEEDS Per 6 Tr. Tr.

' ' To summarize, ' ' concluded Mr. Deal, "this is the shortest crop within the memory of the present generation of seedsmen; famine prices will prevail before the end of the season, and the next year or two will present very great (liflSculties in supplying the demand." Mr. Deal left England in July, landed at New York, August 5, and is now on a tour of all the principal cities of the States, working northward towards Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and back cast via the southern route. He starts for home from New York, October 19. * ' American seedsmen are a most businesslike set of men; they give one a hospitable welcome, but are far too busy to fritter away time on triviali- ties; they want to do business and do it quickly. They appreciate that many seeds will be unobtainable before many weeks, and the trade visitor is not looked upon as a salesman, but as a possible source of supply on some scarce article — the buyers proceed to go through him without a moment's delay. As to contracts for 1911 crops, there is an eagerness to place contracts that amounts almost to a scramble. "One thing this season will prove," concluded Mr. Deal, "and that is to the advantage of the really dependable seedsman and the damnation of the one who cannot resist the temptation of a quick profit, forgetting that his mis- deeds are sure to come home to roost within the twelvemonth.

Some mem- bers of the party added much to the general amusement by acting the parts of characters that are well known to readers of the comic sections of the newspapers, such as Buster Brown, Happy Hooligan, Foxy Grandpa, etc. One of the attendants at the barbe- cue was Dan Eyre, who used the occa- sion as a means of celebrating his sev- enty-eighth birthday. Mr. Eyre is em- ployed by H. W, Luther, at Ensley, Ala., and is probably the oldest prac- tical florist in this vicinity. He was born in Germany and began his career in the trade under his father's instruc- tions, at the early age of 9 years. He conducted a business of his own, as a florist and nurseryman, for tljirty- four years in Jeffersonville, Ind. He is still in good health and attends to his work regularly. The picnic party returned to Bir- mingham at 8 p. m., feeling sure that the day's recreation had been the best they had enjoyed in years. J. A. L.

COKVALLIS, ORE. Prof. A. L. Peck, who Las been as- sistant professor of landscape garden- ing and floriculture at the Oregon Agri- cultural College, has resigned to go into commercial work at Portland, and Prof. C. 1. Lewis, who has charge of the department, has an opening for a young man qualified to carry on this work and take charge of the range of greenhouses recently erected. Prof. Peck will con- tinue to give a part of his time to in- struction work at the college, but the assistant to be engaged will be called ou to do some of the instruction in flori- culture. Extensive changes in the campus are in contemplation. The area now is about fifty acres, although it is being steadily enlarged. It is planned to spend $20,000 in landscape work within the next two years, along lines mapped out by Olmsted, of Boston, who recently looked over the ground. SEATTLE. The Market. With the much-needed rains and cooler weather of last week, the out- look for select stock is much better. Sweet peas are again to be had with 12-ineh to 15-inch stems. The second crop of Brunner roses is on now. This crop is always better than the first, as till' flowers are larger and it is not unusual to get quantities of them with stems from three to five feet long. Asters are making their appearance now and are of good quality. Some of the new varieties are to be had, but not in great quantities. There has been some talk of starting u commission house here. Such a ven- ture would be profitable if in the right hands, as there are several cities around Seattle that depend on getting a good part of their stock from here. There is always plenty of stock the year around, and the growers would be only too glad to be relieved of the "peddling" part of their business. This proposition should appeal to some thrifty, experienced commission man in the east. With a slight increase in business, all of the florists are beginning to get ready for the fall trade, and this sea- son will see Seattle florists on even terms with their eastern brothers in tho way of fine stores, equipment and up-to- •late supplies and novelties. Various Notes. The Hollywood Gardens have an- nounced the opening date of their new store as September 1, in the new Haight building, at the corner of Second ave- nue and Pine street, which is in the midst of the shopping district. Mr, and Mrs. G, W. Watson, for- merly of this city, opened a flower stand in the Public Market at Tacoma about two months ago, and on a recent visit here they stated that they ex- pected to open a store in the near- future, Mr, Watson has leased a range of glass and twenty acres of cleared ground about five miles south of Ta- coma, which will be stocked imme- diately to supply the demands of the store.

The weather continues pleasant and everything favors an early resumption of good business. Although there is no particular stir in any branch of the trade, there is demand enough to use all the good stock that is brought into town. There is a scarcity of roses and first-class carnations. Everyone is •changing the houses at present, and all that remains to be cut from is such stock as is not to be shifted until another season.

The weathor has been favorable for this flower and we have never had better stock to choose from than that produced this year. Lilium album, L. longiflorum and L. rubrum are in good supply, but do not sell so well as they formerly did. There is considerable second-elass stock of these flowers brought to town, and it is hard to dispose of at any price. In the bulbous stock, amaryllis makes the largest showing, but the public does not take kindly to it. In gladioli, such sorts as America and some of the lighter colors are all that are in de- mand. Extra fancy dahlias move well, but purchasers are particular, and any- thing that does not suit the popular fancy usually goes begging. Maidenhair fern and asparagus are plentiful and cheap. Other green goods are about as usual. Various Notes. P. J. Thorsted, of the Thorsted Flo- ral Co., is on a business trip through the interior of the state. .John H.

The Southern Nurserymen's Associa- tion held its twelfth annual convention at Knoxville, Tenn., August 24 to 26, with an attendance of some half hun- dred members. The sessions were held at Morrill hall on the campus of the University of Tennessee, where there were excellent facilities for the meet- ing. It is characteristic of this asso- ciation to have a long program of short talks. By assigning a topic to prac- tically everyone present a general in- terchange of ideas is obtained. During the convention a visit of in- spection was paid to the Peter nur- sery, where the photograph was made for reproduction for the accompanying illustration. EVILS OF THE REPLACE POLICY. [A paper read by J. U. Mayliew, of Waxa- Uacble, Tex., before the American Association of Nurserymen at tlie Denver convention, con- tinued from Tbe Review of August 18.] After reviewing the reason for taking The United States Nursery Co. Roseacres, Ck>ahoina Co., MISS. up the question of policy in replacing stock at less than full price, and its effect on the customer, the salesman, and also on deferred payments, Mr. Mayhew continued: Mental Effect on the Nurseryman. Finally, brethren, what influence has the policy on our own minds? Do we not know, of a truth, that the cost per tree is as much on replace orders, for which we get one-half price or nothing, as on that class of orders for which we get full price? Do we not realize that requisition for replace trees and plants, in a large majority of instances, comes from a patronage we could wisely re- fuse to deal with? Have you ever fig- Soothem Nurservmen's AssociaUoo at Peter's Nursery, Knoxville, Tenn«, August 25, 1910 Sbftbmbbr 1, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review. 53 nred who received at leMt seventy-five per cent of the replace iward or graft f It is the fellow who refuses to respond to your notice of delivery date, who forces your collector to deliver the bill of stock in a special way and at tremen- dous expense, and who pays you in a worthless "B. P." one j^ear after date, without interest. This is the character of patronage that the replace policy develops. It is an undisputed fact that it costs as much per tree to grow, sell, pack and deliver replace ordeis as it does those we receive full value on. Are we mak- ing more profit in our business than we justly deserve? All these questions are of vital concern to each of us and have a direct bearing on the subject under discussion. If we are honest with our- selves, will we not agree that the policy is a shyster one and is unworthy of usf We are striving for lofty ideals in our chosen vocation, and I am proud to say the tendency is upward. Can we afford, aside from our financial interests, which are directly affected, to set such a standard of values before our salesmen and customers f Can we, as captains of the guard, allow the policy to make us skeptical concerning the worth of our own product? If the mind of the cap- tain is clouded, if he who is most in- teresiied is continually laboring under the impression that the goods he pro- duces and offers for sale are of ques- tionable value, how can the best be ac- complished t Is it not time for us to cut loose from entangling policies that hinder us and take our place beside other business enterprises that are mov- ing forward? If in the past we considered this policy of business a shrewd way to out- wit our competitor, let us in this en- lightened age recognize that our com- petitor is our friend and brother, and together adopt policies that will re- dound to our common good. The salva- tion of the nursery interests today is through cooperation, and no reform will accomplish the end striven for otherwise. A policy that is good for you people of New York is equally good for us of Texas, for, though a thousand miles separate us, our success or failure is closely allied. Bound to One Another. In conversation with a friend some time since, I was pleading for coopera- tion on this very question, but he re- marked that it was a question of indi- vidual adjustment, and suggested that the interests of all could be as well served by each individual following his own trend. But is it true? Somehow or other we are bound to one another, whether we will or not. It is my par- ticular business to interest myself in your success, to endeavor, with every faculty God has given me, not only to make my own business a success, but to assist every other one in life to suc- ceed. If there be influences that retard our usefulness to ourselves or to each other, it should be the business of each of us to see that such influences are destroyed. It has been a pride with me to point to the splendid and loyal spirit of the men making up our associations. I be- lieve with all my heart a more splendid citizenship could not be found among the walks of men, but in one way I would have the nurseryman different. I would like to see him receive in dol- lars and cents the profit earned on. his PEONY SALE Eight acres of choice Peonies. Six-year-old clumps, undivided, at the following low prices .

Trade continues about the same as at last reports, funeral work being the only thing of any importance. Stock of all kinds is plentiful, especially gla- dioli and asters, with good lilies and abont enough roses to go around. The retailers are buying but little, and their fall improvements are not yet nnder way. Various Notes. W. H. Bosenbauer, of Sewickley, Pa., has sold his store to Mr. Burns, who was. formerly with the Valley Green- house Co. Mr. Bosenbauer will con- tiBue running his greenhouses. Mr. and Mrs. inward McCallum, of the McCallum Co., have gone to Maple ^rings, on Chautauqua lake, to spend a couple of weeks canoeing. Visitors last week were Arthur Langhans, Wheeling, W. Va.; Mrs. M. Criswell; Vandergrift, Pa.; Miss Mar- garet Schneider, Johnstown, Pa., and Harry Papworth, New Orleans, La. Hoo-Hoo. NEW BEDFOBD, MASS. The Market. Trade remains about the same as usual. ' Flowers are quite plentiful. As- ters are the main thing to be depended on just now. Prices are about the same as usual. Asters retail at 35 cents per dozen, roses at $1 and $1.50 per dozen, gladioli at $1 per dozen, sweet peas at 50 cents per hundred blooms. The sweet peas are getting poor in qaality. There are lots of outdoor flowers for making bouquets, etc. Nearly all of the growers are plant- ing their young carnation stock in the houses. They are fairly good plants. Asters of the late crop are now coming in, mostly Vick's Branching. Various Notes. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Chamberlain are back again after a pleasant two weeks in the White mountains. Geo. N. Borden has returned from a two weeks' vacation spent at Lake Winnipesaukee, in New Hampshire William Livesey has built a pump house of concrete blocks and installed a two horse-power Economy gasoline engine.

The annual exhibition of fruits, flow- ers and vegetables of the North Shore Horticultural Society was held August 24 and 25, in a large tent on the Es- sex County Club grounds at Manches- ter, and proved, in spite of droughty weather conditions, to be one of the finest yet held. The attendance of prominent cottagers was, as usual, large. Much interest centered in the dinner table decorations, which were quite nu- merous. The silver cup finally went to Magnuson & Hylen, Mrs. James Mc- Millan being second and Mrs. B. Ham- mond Tracy third. Mrs, Lester Lcland won the gold medal offered for the best table of flowers arranged by ladies only. The Cedar Acres cup, offered by B. Hammond Tracy, and to be won twice, for the best collection of named gladioli, also went to Mrs. Lester Le- land, Erie Wetterlow, gardener. The best collection of annuals brought out a fine competition, the G, B. White silver cup going to Mrs. James McMillan, who also took second for the best dahlia display, Mrs. G. M. Lane being in the lead in the latter ill gag Mrs. E. C. Swift had the best col- lection of perennial phloxes. Miss A. G. Thayer, J.

William Swan, gardener to Miss Helen Hooper, had the best collection of fruit. It included fine grapes in three varieties, seven varieties of mel- ons, nectarines, peaches, etc. The Far- quhar silver cup for twenty varieties of vegetables was taken by Mrs. Les- ter Leland, who also won the Schlegel & Fottler Co.'s prize for the best col- lection of peppers. B. Hammond Tracy had a fine col- lection of gladioli, winning the silveF gilt medal of the society. R. & J- Farquhar & Co., in their display, had a fine vase of Gilia coronopifolia.

Why do some glads only open two or three flowers at a time, and can they be improved in some way? J. J. H. Some of the larger flowered varieties of gladioli, especially the princeps sec- tion, only carry two or three flowers •before those first open fade. The prin- ceps varieties are big and handsome, but thej"* never carry so many open blooms as the older and smaller flow- (*red sorts, like Brenchleyensis, May, -Vugusta, or even that beautiful sort, America, C. W. SIDING AND SHEATHING. Which, in your juclgmcnt, would he the better method of constructing greenhouse walls — nailing the siding tight to the sheathing, with paper be-, tween, or putting a lath between the siding and sheathing, making an air space? '^ -'-C. B. The usual method of affixing the siding to the sheathing is to put the paper on the sheathing and then nail on the siding. The more modern method, however, is to use laths to fasten the paper and then nail on the siding over the laths, thus leaving an air space of one-half or one-quarter of an inch. This I consider the better system. Ribes. PINCHING COSMOS. I should like to have some informa- tion in regard to topping cosmds for commercial use. E, W. F.

Grate^^akers and asers agree that the moat important point is to keep the air epaces open as long as possible under all conditions. We guarantee to keep the air spaces of the Martin Anti-rricflon Rociiing Grate open longer under any condi- tions than can Jbe done by any other grate in existence. The hottest fire yon can build will not warp a "Martin," and it can be inBtalled without disturbing the brick work.

While 3,000 square feet of radiation will carry 12,000 feet of glass at 50 de- grees in zero weather, it will require careful firing to do it at 20 to 23 de- grees below zero. To heat a house such as (described, it will be best to use three 2%-ineh flow pipes and twelve 2-inch returns. A 6-inch main will be large enough for the heater. The boiler de- scribed should give good results with hot water and there will be no objec- tion to connecting the returns at the ends, as proposed. I do not care to carry more than 200-foot radiation with 2-inch pipe in greenhouses. SAULT STE. MARIE, MICH. This locality was recently visited by a hail storm of unusual severity, and the amount of broken glass might have reached rather startling figures if it were not for the fact that the total area of greenhouse glass in this city is com- paratively small. The fall of hail was unequaled in the records of the city weather bureau, which extend back twenty-two years. A new record was established in two respects, in the size of the hailstones and in the duration of the storm, which appeared to be con- fined chiefly to the Soo. At the greenhouses of Philip Eawlin- son about 400 square feet of glass were broken. William E. F. Weber, of the Soo Greenhouses, lost about seventy-five square feet. Mr. Weber 's place was not in the thickest of the storm, and he was also so fortunate as to have his glass insured, which was not the case with any of his neighbors. Otto H. Weber, in the Canadian Soo — Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. — lost about 100 square feet of glass at his new place, where only one of his three houses had as yet been glazed. The old houses had been torn down some time before, thus preventing what might have been a much heavier loss. The damage to stock was not as serious as might have been expected. Fort Wajrne, Ind. — Christian Young, who has had an experience of forty jears as a market gardener, says he has never before passed through so dry a season as the present one, and the drought has been especially disastrous for people in his line of business.

Amling Co. has just com- pleted its new water reservoir, which will catch all condensation and rain from the greenhouse roofs. It is built entirely of concrete and is 130 feet long, thirty feet wide and fourteen feet deep. Two triplex pumps, with a pump- ing capacity of 250 gallons per minute, are now being installed. They will be operated by electricity under automatic control, 80 as to maintain a constant pressure of eighty pounds. These are connected to a steel tank, 8x28 feet. The entire machinery is furnished by the Kewanee Water Supply Co. On September 14 will occur the wed- ding of Ernst C. Amling, son of A. F. Araling, and Miss Lydia Hinz, of She- boygan, Wis. The Amling family will make the trip per automobile. A fine crop of Crego asters, green- house grown, is coming along at the Amling place. Some have stems three feet long, with flowers as large as mums. About half of the place is this year given to Beauties, the first cut of which is just coming in. Half of the Beauty plants are 2-year-oId trans- planted stock, the balance young stock, but all look the picture of health. ELLSWOSTH, ME. liias Ji. A. Clark is the only retail florist in this pretty Maine town, located some twenty-five miles from Bar Harbor on the mainland and almost adjoining the tracks of the Maine Cen- tral railroad, running between Bangor and Mount Desert Ferry. Miss Clark has built up an excellent and lucrative business here and gladly gives credit to The Review for much of the knowl- edge she possesses. Carnations in the field were looking well. There were splendid batches of all the best asters, dahlias, geraniums, sweet peas, ten weeks' stocks and a variety of other flowers for cutting. Vegetables are also grown to some ex- tent. There are several greenhouses, which are devoted to carnations, chrys- anthemums, tomatoes, smilax, aspara- gus, etc. Something of surprise w.ns afforded us when we came across.^ batch of some 300 pieces of newly imported Mexican orchids, including La^lia autumnalis, oneidiums, odontoglossums, etc., all starting nicely. We were pleased to see a lady conducting this business so •ueeessfully. Miss Clark has grit as well as excellent business sense and ri good knowledge of floriculture.

Yoii can readily see that some kind of metal reinforcement shou^'of necessity be used at the curve of the eave, else the joining of tlie curved and^straight por- tions of the glazing bars could never be accomplished so as to be either enduring or free from glass breakage. Our construction department has worked out a combination clamp-joint- binder-reinforcement of cast iron, that makes an eave of absolute rigidity and with joints sealed from the weather. It is light in effect and at once appeals to one as a common sense sort of construction. So much for the eave ; then comes the sill and gutter; we cast them togetlier in one piece, making a decidedly neater job and structurally better in every way. Aside from these structural points, our Curved Eave Houses are built with the same framing used in our Standard Sec- tional Iron Frame Houses. One thing is certain ; when you buy our Curved Eave House there need not be the least doubt in your mind as to its practicalness or durability. Send for the Advancfc Sheets from our new catalogue ; they contain a color illus- tration of a Curved Eave subject and some mighty interesting reading.

What causes cucumber vines outdoors to turn yellow, and how can it be pre- yented f J. J. H. MelonB and cucumbers growing out- doors have of late years been killed in immense numbers by a blight which causes the leaves to turn ligiit colored and finally brown, the discoloration running from the center of the hills toward the growing tips. This disease usually appears with the first cold nights in August. The cause we do not know; remedies also are of no great avail. Spraying with Bordeaux mix- ture at intervals during the growing season has only partially checked the spread of this scourge and many grow- ers have become discouraged and dropped outdoor cucumber (ulture. If seed is sown quite early, a crop may be secured, but later sowings are invari- ably attacked and a real remedy is still lacking. C. W. BHUBABB UKDEB BENCHES. Can rhubarb be grown successfully under the benches of a carnation house, a chrysanthemum house or a lettuce house without detriment to the crops on the benches? Could the rhubarb roots be placed uudfer the benches for forcing immediately after the crop of mums had been cut, and would it in any way interfere with a crop of Grand Rapids lettuce grown upon the benches, follow- ing the chrysanthemums? W. w. r. C. While rhubarb could be grown under any of the benches named, and without interfering particularly with any of the crops you refer to, it will not do satis- factorily in 80 low a temperature as obtains where lettuce, mums and carna- tions are grown. To grow rhubarb suc- cessfully, a warm and dark location is desirable. When grown in the dark, the stalks come a rich red color and draw up to good length. In the light and a cooler temperature, rhubarb is ■low in starting and the stalks are green as compared with those grown in the dark. A cellar which will grow good mush- rooms is an ideal place for rhubarb. The temperature for its successful wiuter culture should not be less than 60 de- grees, and bottom heat is a decided benefit. Some growers utilize coldframes of considerable depth, putting in a b^d of cattle manure for bottom heat. The glass is kept darkened with mats. Any shed, pit, cellar or frame which can be given a minimum of 60 degrees will grow excellent rhubarb. C. Vegetable Plants Cabbase* All Head, Succession. Second Early. Karly SummiT. Flat Diiich.

The Last Artistic Toucb. The attainment of both elegance and eJmple daintiness, which is far removed from fussiness, is the ideal to be kept in mind in floral designing. The choice of flowers, the manner of their coming together, the added foliage, and the material and style of the tie all con- tribute to the character of the piece. It is possible, but scarcely probable, that a well designed piece may be spoiled by poor taste in the tie. The art of floral designing and the art of fabric drapery seem to be very closely connected. Floral arrangement often springs into a new dignity with just the right drapery addition, or it may become a sodden mass smothered by a heavy color and excessive quantity of even so light a material as chiffon. The tie, properly selected and happily placed, belongs as truly to the floral design as the foliage on the stem; or, if awkwardly added, it may be a color blot or deformity. When Not to Use Ties. With a little serious study, it will hot be difficult to formulate a few prin- ciples which will be found useful in everyday work. In the first place, it is important to know at a glance whether to use any tie or drapery. There are many times when a collec- tion of flowers appears to better ad- vantage without a tie. To illustrate: Where considerable variety of color is used in one spray, the tie may be dis- pensed with; where a great number of sprays and pieces are sent to the same funeral, a good proportion of them should be planned and finished without ribbon or chiffon; where the style of arrangement does not require a tie, do not add one just for the sake of habit; a tie must have the appear ance of a binding together, else iti is superfluous; it is seldom needed on a solid piece, unless a spray is added; it should not be used where a color is not at hand which will harmonize with the flowers to be used; it would be well for the patrons of some flower shops to pay the artists (?) to keep ribbon and chiffon off their work; it is a false no- tion that white can be used with any color — as a rule it can be, but there are exceptions; where the setting or recep- tacle is decidedly rustic, use no rib- bon or chiffon. In the form of bows or streamers, ribbon and chiffon do not properly belong with a vase of flowers. Should Seem to Be Useful. How conspicuously may a tie be placed? Let it stop on the modest side of the conspicuous. It is the punctuation of the sentence, the bind- ing cord to the sheaf. It must occupy the position of a serviceable addition in^the design, which does not bar it from' being artistic and graceful in color and form. The setting which holds the gem must be in proportion to its rarity and value. The tie must be of a worth which measures the beauty of the flowers it holds. In colored work let the tie be of a harmonious but lighter tint than that of the flowers. With white a delicate Nile green or violet is preferred, or either of these colors with white itself. With a handsome, large piece of all white, if a tie is required, all three of these colors in one tie "would lend a touch of life so often lacking in white. Qood Color Combinations.

With a lavender spray of mums or asters, try a rainbow tie of dotted chif- fons, using lavender, yellow, pink and red. They should be laid one over the other and be tied without separating the colors. It is the effect through the different layers that will give the desired touch. It is like the mixing of paints; what would not be har- monious as the colors would lie sidfe by side, would make a wonderful color mixed. In this case make a tie of all bows, so as to keep the coloring under cover, for if they were allowed to fly in streamers the coloring would be too apparent. Chiffon and Veiling. Chiffon as a veil can be worked in with beautiful effect now and then. Over a large spray or casket cover of a rich, dark color throw two or three flower or among the foliage, and let the ends fly out freely. A veil over a solid piece is a good color help if correctly used. In the case of a pillow this might be ex- tended over the completed design and allowed to remain from four to six inches longer and wider than the pil- low. Under this as a border, set in a fringe of adiantums. Over the center of the piece lay a loose spray without a tie, or scatter a few roses promis- cuously over the surface of the pil- low, over the veil. Something new? For a child's funeral spray a large, loose rosette of baby ribbon in the center of a chiffon tie gives just the simple touch wanted. According to the flowers used, this may be either pink or blue. "With all white flowers the blue seems preferable. For the Sake of Variety. Have you tied sprays with square bows, or short bows with long ties, until you fear the public will tire of the same old style? Then tie one more with generous loops and extra long ends for a double spray. Catch the ends of the long ties with baby ribbon and attach each end toward an end of A Well Placed and Appropriate Tie. long ends of wide chiffon or veiling of a lig^t, contrasting tint; as, with Eich- mond rosea use Nile green; with pur- ple asters use light yellow or white chiffon. Catch these long ends in place with a tie of baby ribbon under a the spray, one end falling loosely over the flowers, and the opposite one pass- ing under the flowers and reappearing at the end of the spray. Let the loops where they are secured on the center of the spray stand up quite noticeably. Embroidered chiffon over ribbon is a good addition to an otherwise plain, rich piece. It must be remembered, however, that this kind of a combina- tion changes the color of the ribbon, and while the ribbon might be a good blend with the flowers by itself, it might not be so good when dulled some- what by the veil of chiffon placed over it. The veil lightens and dulls a bril- liant color and sometimes entirely changes its tone. Here is a place where the critical eye must not grow sleepy. But this rule works both ways, and while the veiling with chiffon may dull a brilliant color too much, it may sub- due an overbrilliant color to just the proper softness of tone, and thus re- lieve us of some ribbon stock which has been otherwise difficult to find a legitimate use for. Dotted and embroidered chiffons are especially good with garden heliotrope, gypsophila, stevia and other fine, show- ery flowers. Drapery for Window Decorations. Window decorations of the conven- tional type often lack a finish and com- pleteness which only a soft drapery can give. Several lengths of wide chif- fon, caught in light festoons over the top of a mirror, or a few strokes of silk drapery, or a velvet background, give a character of distinction which nothing else can supply. A light clus- ter of long bows from the high handle of a basket gives a delicate cast over the flowers and is the nearest approach to an atmosphere which can be cre- ated in fabrics. It has become quite a practice to use chiffon among green garlands in wed- ding decorations. In such a case quan- tities of wide chiffon should be used, to avoid a stringy appearance, par- ticularly if the room is large. The softer greens, like greenhouse smilax and asparagus, are to be preferred to the woodier kinds, like wild smilax, huckleberry, etc. The use of chiffon and veiling in decorative work of this kind is really very helpful, both as to its artistic value and its cheap- ness. Wedding Bells. Bell frames are hard to sell and ex- pensive to fill with flowers, but they will always be wanted in wedding decorations, on account of their beau- tiful sentiment; then why not experiment upon other material than flowers for filling and decorating them? Leaving out of consideration a reasonably, but only reasonably satisfactory covering of green, why not cover them first with cheesecloth inside and out, of the proper color, and then add another covering of chiffon of the same color? So far, neither so bad nor so good. But cut enough long streamers of wide chiffon of the same color as the cover- ing to make a generous shower, like a lot of bridal veils hanging suspended from one point on the top of the bell. Toward the lower ends of the stream- ers put on a few bows, loops and chif- fon butterflies. One large bell or a group of different sizes may be treated the same way. When suspended over the bridal altar, catch up some of the streamers with strings of smilax which have proceeded from the same point as the chiffon streamers on the top of the bell, and after a while you can look up into a soft, cloudy canopy of bells Sbptbmbkb 8, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review* and all that. There are but few schemes to equal this in fine effect, and all for a moderate outlay of time and money. Electric lights and flowers may be added to any extent desired. A whole room could be canopied in the same manner. Chiffon and veiling should never be self-tied. Catch in loops and ends to- gether in the fingers, tie with baby rib- bon and attach with the same ribbon ends. Gertrude Blair. NEW AZAIiEAS. Some of the American florists who visited Belgium this summer admired d new pink azalea grown by the Haerens Co., of Somergem, which was exhibited in bloom. This variety is similar to Mme. Vander Cruyssen in color, but can be forced much earlier. There are other new varieties of azaleas grown by this firm, including a double early white and semidouble red, all of which attracted much attention last February when exhibited in bloom be- fore the Boston Gardeners' and Flo- rists' Club, CBOTONS FOB POT CULTURE. Kindly give a list of the best crotons for pot culture, particularly in the red varieties. S. F. C. The list of varieties is being con- stantly added to by such well-known specialists as the Robert Craig Co., of Philadelphia, who exhibited over eighty varieties at the late S. A. F. convention in Bochester, N. Y. The following are excellent, reliable sorts: Queen Victoria, yellow, blotched, ribs magenta; Sunbeam, rich Ijlood-red when matured; Triumphans, green and crim- son, changing to bronze green and crimson; Majesticum, long, narrow leaves, green and yellow, shaded with crimson; Baron Rothschild, green and yellow, crimson when old; Hawkeri, broad leaves, light yellow, green edge; Andreanum, broad foliage, dark green, with crimson and yellow veins; Chal- lenger, long leaves, midribs deep car- mine when mature; Disraeli, dark green, yellow veins, turning to crimson later; Musaicum, creamy when young, crimson when matured; Beauty, green, variegated golden yellow, changing to bronze and rosy crimson; Nestor, green, variegated yellow and white, midrib crimson. C. W. THE ASTEB DISEASE. I read J. L. Johnson's article on aster disease, on page 9 of The Review of September 1, with a great deal of in- terest. I have worked on this trouble for years and have long felt convinced that it was not a disease. If a disease, it must have either got better or worse as the years passed. It was ftlways worse in wet seasons, and sour soil is always more acid in wet seasons. I have used lime and recommended it to my seed customers for the last three years, and while it doesn't effect a rad- ical cure, it certainly helps. One block near my home, containing about 5,000 plants, is on soil that has carried asters for the last five years, and I have less yellows this season than ever before, possibly three per cent in all. I applied lime at the rat^ of three tons per acre five years ago and one ton each year since. This coming spring I shall leave The Ribbon "Was the Needed Touch on This Basket. it off, as the soil shows signs of getting pasty. The ideal treatment would be a good dose of tile along with the lime. Experimenting in 1908 in connection with George D'. Williams, the Nitrate Agencies' expert for this section, I found that yellows seldom appeared in soil that was not sour. Mr. Williams is a great believer in lime, not only for asters but for most grain and root crops. From the results he obtains, going so far as to apply ten tons per acre for potatoes, I think we'll have to agree with him. The Technical World Magazine for December, 1909, contained an article on toxic poisons from roots of plants, deal- ing with acids left in the soil by certain crops. It is well worth reading by those who are interested along these lines. R. E. Huntington. PLANTS FOE OFFICE WINDOWS. I have a customer who wishes me to supply him with varieties of plants that will do well in the window of a factory office during the winter months. The plants will have plenty of light, but not much sunshine. What would you recommend? L. F. M. Foliage plants generally do much more satisfactorily in windows than flowering subjects, especially where the plants get considerable shade. All the nephrolepis are suitable. Nothing does much better than the old Boston, but Whitmani, elegantissima and others are also good. Cyrtoniium falcatum and Pteris Cretica cristata are other relia- ble ferns. In the way of palms you could use Kentia Belmoreana, Phoenix rupicola or Canariensis and Latania Borbonica. Aspidistra lurida is prob- ably the best and most, enduring of all foliage plants for house or factory. There is also a variegated form that is equally hardy. Ficus elastica, the com mon rubber plant, succeeds with almost everyone. Rex begonias and quite a number of the fibrous-rooted flowering varieties of robust habit will do well. If the minimum temperature does not fall below 50 degrees, Pandanus Veit- chii and utilis will thrive well. Some other easily grown and reliable plants are: Asparagus Sprengeri and plumo- sus nanus, variegated vinca, Curculigo recurvata and DTacsena indivisa. In addition to fibrous rooted begonias, you could use such varieties as rubra, nitida alba, Haageana, ScharflSana and Er- fordii. The zonal geraniums will flower well where the night temperature does not exceed 50 degrees; also petunias and impatiens. As a general rule, how- ever, foliage plants prove the most sat- isfactory. C. W. WHITE INSECTS ON COLEUS. What will keep white spider from coleus and other plants? What will exterminate them without iniuring the foliage? 'S. F. C. I do not recognize an insect called "white spider," but possibly it may be mealy bug on the coleus, and in "that case you might try one of the nicotine liquids advertised ill The Review, used according to directions.

Plants growing in benches since May should by this time have quadrupled in size, and be quite shapely if the necessary pinching has been attended to. It is easy to have a crop of flowers through the summer. Gardenias are almost perpetual bloom- ing, but, unless you are located where wealthy residents want the flowers and are willing to pay a fair price for them, it is better to keep the buds picked oft" until the arrival of colder weather. If syringing has been prop- erly done, there should be no mealy bug on the plants. There is absolutely no excuse for this where there is an ade- quate water supply. Use a spray noz- zle and direct the force from below the foliage. A minimum night temperature of 65 to 70 degrees should be main- tained. As the benches will now -be filling up with roots, water can be sup- plied more freely. If your drainage is good and the soil sufficiently porous, there will be little danger of stagna- tion and consequent yellowing of the foliage. Scratch the surface over oc- casionally and avoid watering any wet ])laces in the benches until they dry out well. Anything approaching sourness will cause yellow leaves and falling buds. Plants in pots, if well rooted, will be benefited by an occasional dose of weak liquid manure. Clay's fertilizer has been found excellent to apply as a toji- dressing. It helps to keep the foliage that dark green, glossy hue which one delights to see. It hardly pays to carry plants after a second year, as they in- variably go off with canker near the surface soil. Late rooted stock should be given its final shift. If they can be plunged in a close frame, or on a bench in a small span house, they will quickly fill the pots with roots. Gardenias like bottom heat, and if more of it were used we should have fewer complaints of yellow foliage and dropping buds. Hollyhocks. In order to get strong hollyhock plants, the seedlings, instead of being allowed to crowd one another in the nursery rows, should be transplanted, always, of course, selecting showery weather for the work. Hollyhocks are among the most popular of hardy plants. While usually treated as biennials, they are really perennials and in good soil will live several years. It is not too late now to make a sowing for next season. Possibly you may have seeds on some of your own plants, which, if collected and sown, will germinate quickly, giving just as fine plants and as good a strain as any you could buy. Do not be afraid to grow a good stock of liollyhocks and all other biennials and perennials. The call for them is continually on the increase. They need no greenhouse to winter them and thou- sands of people prefer them to tender bedding plants. Transplanting Evergreens. The last half of August and first half of September is perhaps the best in the whole year for the successful trans- planting of evergreens of all kinds. The ideal planting weather is, of course, when the ground is moist and the sky overcast. These conditions, unfortunately, do not prevail to any great extent iintil later. Still, where this work requires to be done, the present month, when other duties are less numerous and strenuous, is the best in the year. Nurseries can now dig, burlap and ship plants more expeditious- ly and carefully than in spring, when they are swamped with orders, and the growers of nursery stock should en- courage late summer planting more. All holes should be carefully pre- pared, and when the tree or shrub is in position and has had some soil filled in about its roots, let it have a thor- ough soaking of water. Allow an hour or two to elapse before filling up the hole. Be sure that the soil is worked in among all the roots and remember that you cannot firm the soil too much. Mulch after the planting is done and. if you have a hose within reach, give the plants a wetting over each evening for a few days. Use no manure about the roots, as it will do more harm than good. Rhododendrons, kalmias, andromedas, coniferous evergreens of all kinds, Euonymus radicans and, in fact, ev- erything of an evergreen nature will move well now, if care is taken that they have a nice ball, that the roots are not exposed to sun and drying winds and that they are well watered when planted. INSECTS ON ALTEBNANTHEBAS. An insect ate all the leaves of our Alternanthera brilliantissima. I no- ticed on the plants a small fly, not like any fly I have ever seen before; also a small worm, and a small, long, dark bug. We send a sample of the eaten leaves. S. F. C. Try dusting the alternantheras with Slug Shot, and if this does not prove effective, then I would try spraying with a solution of Paris green; but the latter must not be used too strong, else it may burn the foliage. W. H. T. HOME-SAVED SWEET PEA SEED. Please let me know whether I am likely to get good results from my own home-grown sweet pea seed. I have heard that they do not do well here, in southern Oklahoma. S. F. C. You will have much better results with seed raised in a cooler climate, where large quantities of the various kinds are grown and where roguing is carefully done. If you grow a number of varieties in a limited space, it is about impossible to save seed from them and have them come true to name. In addition, plants in your climate are entirely lacking in vitality as compared with those grown in the states where the weather conditions are better for sweot pea culture and seed saving. I would most certainly advise against home-saved seed. C. W. WINTER CAKE OF SWEET PEAS. There have been several articles in The Review lately about the culture of winter flowering sweet peas, giving directions about planting, etc., but none of the articles dwelt much on the care of the peas after they are nearing the flowering stage. 1 am at a loss to know just how closely the peas should be kept suckered — that is, how many shoots should be left to come on each individual plant. My aim is to have peas for Christmas and then on, as long as they can be kept in flower. What is the best temperature for night and day, and should they be well aired? S. F. C. Sweet peas do not require any sucker- ing at all. All shoots which appear should be left; the removal of any would only mean a reduction in your cut of flowers. If your plants are set out four to six inches apart in rows, they will be sufficiently thick. There are good growers who allow them double that space. It is a common error to sow or plant too thickly, but it never pays in the long run. A mini- mum temperature of 46 to 50 degrees in winter will suit sweet peas; hold it as near 48 degrees as possible and try not to go beyond 50 degrees. The plants like all the fresh air you can give them. Of course, avoid cold drafts, which might cause mildew to break out. If the latter should appear, dust with flowers of sulphur at once. Septembek 8, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review* Bed spider may appear near the heating mains, but not if the spray nozzle is used judiciously. Aphis must be kept in check by weekly fumigations with tobacco dust, tobacco stems or nicotine extract. A mild dose once a week will keep the house clean. I like nicotine extract, as it does not leave any dis- agreeable odor on the flowers, as the stems do. On dull days in winter keep the tern- t perature 55 to 58 degrees.| On bright days it can run from 60 to 65 degrees, with ventilation. Do not grow the rows too close together; the farther apart they are, the better will the plants sucker out from near the base. C. W. MUM COMMITTEES GET BUSY. Although President Elmer D. Smith, of the Chrysanthemum Society of America, has not yet appointed the city committees to judge the season's novelties in mums, he has set some work for them to do and is putting it up to the last year's committees. Be- fore the Cincinnati committee August 27 his firm, E. D. Smith & Co., Adrian, Mich., exhibited Smith's Advance, an extremely early white, Japanese re- flex, which was scored as follows: Color 18 Foliage 10 Form 12 Substance 13 Fullness 10 Size 8 Stem 15 — Total 86 SMITH'S NEW WHITE MUM. At the S. A. F. convention at Eoches- ter, August 16 to 19, one of the smaller exhibits, but one which nevertheless attracted much attention, was a vase of the white chrysanthemum shown in the accompanying illustration. It is Smith's Advance. The color is white and the variety is in this class what Golden Glow is among yellows. For those who have use for early chrysan- themums, it brings the opening of the season for whites several weeks ahead of the previous date. Since the convention the variety has Chrysanthemum Smith's Advance. been exhibited before a number of flo- rists' clubs, at Detroit August 29 the local florists' organization there hav- ing an excellent vase of it and giying it special commendation. mM SCALE ON FERNS. We are sending you a fern leaf which has some small, white object on the under side of it. Please tell us what it is and a remedy for it. S. F. C. The insect on the fern leaf is one of the scale insects, which do much injury to ferns and are not easy to dispose of. The white dots are the young insects, and as they mature they turn to flat scales of a light brown color. It would be best to cut oflP all leaves that are as badly infested as the speci- men forwarded, and then to dip the plants in a solution of Kose Leaf Ex- tract of tobacco, using the solution in the proportion of one part of the ex- tract to fifty parts of water, and repeat- ing the dipping after a week has passed. This dip may injure the tips of the young leaves slightly, but a weaker solution would not do much good. W. H. T. CAEE OF HOUSE FERNS. We should like to know about the care of ferns, ordinary varieties, in a store or house. What food would you recom- mend for ferns, palms, etc.? F. S. The chief point in the care of ferns in a store or house is to see that they are kept moist, taking into considera tion the fact that the atmosphere of a dwelling is much drier than that of a greenhouse, and consequently the plants are likely to require water more fre- quently. There is also more or less dust in the atmosphere, and as this settles on the plants it closes the pores of the leaves, making it necessary to give the plants either a sponging or a good dip- ping in a tub of water about once a week, or sometimes oftener. Potbound palmn and Boston ferns may be fed once in two weeks with manure water or solution of dried blood, the latter being used in the proportion of one ounce to two gallons of water, but either of these fertilizers has an ob- jectionable odor, so that it is not well to use them in the house. A weak solu- tion of sulphate of ammonia may also be used for this purpose, at the rate of an ounce of the sulphate to three gallons of water, and this preparation has lit- tle or no odor. W. H. T. TO PREVENT REVERSION. What can be done to prevent Nephrol- epis Whitmani and like varieties of ferns from returning to the Boston? F. S. From the fact that Nephrolepis Whitmani and several other varieties are simply sports or variations from the Boston fern, there is always some ri?k of reversion, and little can be doic to prevent this, except to select crrefuUy when propagating and then to keep the stock growing freely.

W. II, T. 10 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Septembeb 8, 1010. LA FRANCE NOT BLOOMING. Please tell me what to do to make a La France rose bloom. I have a good many rose bushes and all the others seem to grow and bloom nicely, but the La France beats me. It is a strong grower; it has eight or ten canes, four to five feet high, at the present time. It dies back about halfway during the winter months. Any information you may give me will be much appreciated. E. G. La France is one of the hybrid tea roses. These require less severe prun- ing than the hybrid perpetual class, such as General Jacqueminot, Frau Karl Druschki, Mme. Gabriel Luizet, Mrs. Sharman Crawford and Clio. Cut out, at pruning time, all dead and weak wood, and, instead of heading back to three or four eyes, as in the case of hybrid perpetuals, leave about half of the wood of the preceding year's growth. If yours kill back halfway, cut a few inches beyond that, so that the wood is fresh and green. Are you perfectly sure that you are not nursing Manetti stock in lieu of La France itself? Many growers fail to cut out this stock, and as a conse- quence it soon kills out the rose and usurps its place. Manettis are easily detected. The thorns are more thickly placed than on the average rose. They come reddish in color and the leaves carry seven petioles, while the majoritj' of hybrid perpetual and hybrid tea roses carry but five. ' C. W. STORING ROSE PLANTS. Can you tell us how to store roses, such as Brides, Richmonds, Chatenay and Maids, for spring sales? They usu- ally winter-kill. If you know of any way to protect them in the field, here in western Colorado, we would rather leave them there. How much frost should they have before digging? What temperature is suitable in the cellar, and how much moisture. J. T. To store roses in a cellar, they should not be lifted from the soil before the wood is thoroughly ripe, a condition which is indicated by the leaves be- coming detached — that is, when the older leaves commence to fall. The temperature in the cellar should be from 32 to 38 degrees. To preserve them in the field, they should be laid down after the ground freezes hard for the first time, and cov- ered with some dry litter, such as leaves, with some branches laid on top to keep the covering from blowing away. If the plants can be kept in a frozen state all winter and are never exposed to the sun, they have a good chance to survive the winter. Ribes. ROSE PLANTS DYING. You will find under separate cover a rose plant that has not done well. It has been dying gradually for the last two weeks. It turned yellow and then dried up. The soil is new pasture sod, which was piled up last fall and chopped this spring, when about one- fourth of cow manure was also mixed with it. I have been spraying the plants from three to five times daily. Please explain the trouble. C. E. The specimen received was entirely dead at the root and must have been so when planted in the bench. It also was planted too deep. The soil is excellent and the compost perfect. Spraying twice a day is suflScient, even during the hottest weather. "Where you find any plants behaving as de- scribed in your letter, pull them out and replace with strong, healthy stock. Ribes. A WELL KEPT PLACE. You can tell from the looks of a place what sort of a man keeps it, what kind of a grower he is, and what measure of success he is making in his business. Did you ever see unkempt grounds about a really progressive es- tablishment? Some people may tell you that they "can't aflford to keep the place up the way Tom Smith does," but they have the cart before the horse. It isn't because Smith has made money that he keeps his place in apple-pie order, but because he has kept all things right up to the handle that he has made money. The accompanying illustration is re- produced from a snapshot of the green- house?, residence and grounds of T. M. Fitzgerald at Beaver, Pa., where there is a place for everything and every- thing is in its place. SPOT ON CYCLAJVrEN LEAVES. I am sending under separate cover a few cyclamen leaves that are affected with a leaf-spot of some kind. It seems to spread to plants nearby. The plants are now in a well ventilated house and the glass is shaded with white- wash. They are vigorous and strong, and are making as good growth as any cyclamens I ever had. I should like to know a remedy for this leaf disease. C. A. M. The foliage shows that your plants are vigorous, the leaves being as fine as anyone could wish to see. This spot is not uncommon. It attacks other plants in much the same way. In the case of cyclamens it may be due to keeping the plants too much shaded and feeding them too heavily. One or both of these causes would niake the foliage rather soft and an easier prey to bacterial diseases than if they were exposed to stronger light and had been fed but little. I would advise destroying the badly affected plants, isolating the others and spraying them with Bordeaux mixture. Let the plants have more light, espe- cially now that the sun's rays are de- creasing in intensity. Give an abun- dance of air night and day; never close the house, except before fumigat- ing. The cooler they are grown the sturdier they will be. Never mind if the temperature falls as low as 40 de- grees at night. Let the foliage be as dry as possible at nightfall and let the atmosphere also be dry. C. W. PROTECTION FOR PANSIES. Please tell me what winter protection pansies need here, in eastern Nebraska. Our minimum temperature is 20 degrees below zero. Would an enclosure of 10-inch boards, set on edge along the edge of the beds and filled with straw, be suflBcient? I also wish to grow Establishment of T. M. Fitzgerald, Beaver, Pa. Septbmber 8, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review. 11 Establishment of C. D. Martindalet Caney, Kan. some plants for winter blooming. Would plants raised now bloom in any quantity by the new year? I wish to grow them with sweet peas in a tem- perature of 48 degrees. Should they have a freeze before benching? F. W. Pausies do not require a heavy win- ter mulch. Boards such as you suggest, set on edge along the beds, would an- swer well, and the plants should not be mulched until the ground is firmly frozen. Straw, hay, leaves and pine needles are. all suitable for covering. Use just sufficient mulch to cover the plants. A heavy coating would keep the plants too warm and, in the case of open spells of weather, would probably cause damping off. The covering is given not so much as a winter protec- tion as to prevent the heaving of the ground during late winter and early spring. Pansies sown early in August will bloom moderately by January. A tem- perature of 48 degrees is rather too high for them. A violet house kept at 40 to 45 degrees would suit them much better. It will be a benefit to have them Jrozen before housing, as in the case of single violets. C. W. AN UNHEATED HOUSE. I should like to know about how cold it would have to be outside to produce a freezing temperature in a glass apart- ment which will be built along the south side of a dwelling and will have no fire heat. There will be two thick- nesses of glass in the walls, with a 2-inch air space between. The glass will consist of large panes, well puttied in. Is not this the best plan for build- ing a place in which to keep flowers during the winter? I have been using a pit with glass over the top. I am located in southern Delaware. C. E. B. Fully as much will depend upon the duration of the cold snap as upon the intensity of the cold. If the adjoining room is warmed, the temperature might drop to zero outside for a short time without getting below freezing in the apartment a foot or so back from the glass. This is supposing that there is a tight floor and that the glass is con- fined to the side walls. On the other hand, if the cold spell lasts several days and the thermometer outside does not get above the freezing point during the day, there would be danger of frost in the glass apartment if there is fif- teen or even ten degrees of frost out- side, unless it will be possible to permit some heat to enter the apartment from the adjoining room. If the apartment is not too large, it should be possible in the climate of Delaware to keep out frost if there is a connecting door, or even a window through which warm air could be al- lowed to pass into the apartment. DBEEB'S NEW PLANT. The contract has now been awarded for the new plant of Henry A. Dreer, Riverton, N. J., described at some length in The Review of July 28. The plant will be built in blocks, the first block to be erected this season. This first block will be built with a service building in the center, the service building being 34x203 feet. On each side of the service building will be one lean-to 203 feet long and from each lean-to will be built a range of ten greenhouses, each 21x203 feet, making a total of twenty greenhouses and two lean-tos. A cross passageway will be run through the whole block of green- houses from side to side, this passage- way being three feet wide and there being 100 feet of greenhouse on each side of the passageway. The service building will be of iron frame construc- tion and practically fireproof, and the roof will be built with a clear span, so that the interior will be free of posts. Ten of the greenhouses will be open under the gutters and will contain no benches. These ten greenhouses are to be run at a low temperature. The other ten houses will be divided by glass partitions under the gutters and will have three benches in each house. These houses are to be run at a tempera- ture of 60 to 65 degrees. For the heating plant a fireproof iron frame and concrete boiler house will be erected. There will be four 75 horse- power return tube boilers for heating. There is also to be one boiler for steam power. The boilers will burn a low grade of coal and to enable this to be done a system of forced draft is to be installed. The heating will be by hot water, using 2-inch pipes for the radi- ating surface. The boilers will be set on the level and the water will be circulated through the houses with centrifugal pumps. The pumping plant will be in duplicate, so that in case of damage to one plant the other will be ready for operation. The cost of the buildings and equip- ment will be about $70,000. The con- tract for the work has gone to the King Construction Co. AS IT IS IN KANSAS. The accompanying illustrations show the character of establishment that is springing up all over the great west far faster than anyone can keep track of them — except that the first thing they all do on starting is to send a dollar for The Review; they find us rather than we them. The place illustrated is that of C. D. Martindale, at Caney, Kan. — there's nothing "the matter with Kansas" any more. Caney is away down alinost to the Indian Territory, just where the Osages and the Cherokees join up, and trade conditions and problems there are not exactly like those on Fifth avenue — of course, there's only one! — but there is enough business in Caney to support more than one florist — they both get The Review — and they both keep nice, neat, well-ordered places. Their business will be better and better as years go on, and after a while people who don't go there will come to ap- preciate how fast the great west is growing and how wonderfully prosper- ous its people are as compared with a few years ago. Baraboo, Wis. — William Toole & Sons are building an addition which will en- able them to double their output. ^W^* •-•.■jj^-^ ■1 -t ^T^"^^. ^J V- Stock Grounds of C D.

September 8, 191*. QEOBGE T. BOUCHER. Among the younger retail florists of Rochester none is more aggressive or more of a hut-tier for business than George T. Boucher. Beginning about seven years ago with only counter space in a retail seed store, "^Mr. Boucher's practical knowledge of growing flowers, as well as the art of selling, increased his business so rapidly that more room was necessary, and a small store at 343 Main street was secured. Here the business was carried on under difficul- ties until this year brought an oppor- tunity to secure additional room by removing a dividing wall, and a splen- did store, with entrances on East Main street and East avenue, was opened. Mr. Boucher has been connected with the florists' trade in Rochester for over twenty years, and has many friends among the dealers and growers as well as among citizens generally. BAB HABBOB, ME. The Mount Desert Nurseries, where William Miller is the efficient manager, have just completed an extensive in- stallation of the Skinner watering sys- tem, both at the main nursery and at the branch nursery at Northeast Har- bor, and it gives great satisfaction. A pressure of forty-five pounds to the square foot gives the best results. The water is turned on in the evening and shut off early the following morning, in order that nothing may he lost by condensation. Other growers on the and many other annuals, were very attractive' at the time of our visit. Ju the greenhouses were noted large batches of gloxinias, tuberous begonias, achimenes, fuchsias, hydrangeas, gera- niums, streptocarpus, gardenias and other summer blooming plants. One house was devoted to the charming new Nephrolepis Milleri. Propagation of geraniums was under way; over 10,000 of these are sold annually to the wealthy summer residents. The nurs- eries devoted to trees and shrubs are constantly being increased in area, specimen conifers being a feature. The store in Bar Harbor, for the sale of plants and cut flowers, is large and attractive. Probably nowhere else in America are such beautiful displays of perennials and annuals to be 'seen. Other choice flowers, such as Beauty roses, valley, orchids, gardenias, etc., are also included. F. H. Moses has a fine store on Main street, near the store of the Mount Desert Nurseries. Mr. Moses had just recovered from two weeks ' sickness when we called. He keeps an up-to- date and attractive store and reports business as good. All visitors to Bar Harbor may be sure of a genial wel- come from Mr. Moses. .Joseph Pulitzer, the proprietor of the New York World, has a stately resi- dence at Bar Harbor. A. W. Eckstrom presides over the horticultural depart- ment and grows things well. We were particularly struck by the many fine specimen hydrangeas on the lawns, nat- urally grown, which hung down and George T, Boucher. island are so enthusiastic over the suc- cess of the system that they are j)lan- ning to adopt it. The large stretches of perennial phloxes, aconitums, lili- ums, montbretias, physostegias and other perennials, as well as quantities of finely grown sweet peas, salpiglossis, lupines, Shirley poppies, pentstemons hid the tubs from view. Window boxes are extensively used here. Geraniums, petunias, white marguerites, begonias and Lobelia gracilis were noteworthy among the flowering plants used. Be- gonia Duke Zeppelin was largely used in the flower beds, while zonal gera- niums, Begonia Erfordii, Lobelia IZm- peror William and swainsonas bloomed remarkably well. In the greenhouses were noted some fine specimen garde- nias, allamandas and fuchsias. At Blair Eyrie, the romantically sit- uated mansion of D. C. Blair, there is a charming little Italian garden, in which pentstemons, antirrhinums, Gal- tonia candicans, salpiglossis, cannas, swainsonas and beds of the best named gladioli were finely flowered. Another formal garden is devoted to hybrid tea and hybrid perpetual roses, which here do unusually well. Dahlias were bloom- ing with great freedom, and sweet peas were extra good. Lilium auratum, eight to nine feet high, comes up vig- orously year after year, as do the vari- eties specicsum and Henryi. Aconi- tums in the garden, used for cutting, were of great vigor. In the grape house Muscats and Black Hambros were carrying excellent crops. One house was devoted to melons. Eugene Mitchell has charge of this beautiful estate. MILWAUKEE. The Market. To judge by the way stock at the wholesale houses is being cleaned up, one would naturally conclude that busi- ness is good; that is, all first-class re- ceipts are entirely disposed of by clos- ing time. The main item of late has been gladioli, and these, in the lighter shades, sell readily. A few growers have commenced to send in carnations; they are as yet short stemmed and small, and there are not enough to cut any figure. There are plenty of roses to go around; some nice hardy phlox is also offered by the wholesalers. The asters in this vicinity are not up to the standard; the cause given by most growers is the unfavorable weather conditions. Club Meeting. At the regular monthly meeting of the Milwaukee Florists' Club, held Sep- tember 1, not much of importance was accomplished, owing to the light attend- ance. Hans Schultz and Otto Grade, both members of the Fox Point Floral Co., were elected to membership. The executive committee of the com- ing fall flower show reported that pre- liminary prize lists will be mailed in a week or ten days; also that this year's show will surpass the one held in 1909 in b\\ classes, owing to the ex- perience gained last year. While the picnic of the Milwaukee Florists' Club, September 4, was a suc- cess, it would have been more so had weather conditions been more favor- able. Prizes were donated by the fol- lowing: Chas. Menger, Emil Weike, Alex. Klokner, C. Dallwig, C. C. Poll- worth Co., Wm. Zimmermann, Edlefsen- Leidiger Co., Holton & Hunkel Co., Nic. Zweifel, Robt. Zepnick, Aug. F. Kell- ner Co., Mueller & Schroeder Co., Hum- mel & Downing Co., Heitman & Baer- man, and Rudolph Preuss. The prize winners were: Sack race for men. C. Gorg, first; A. II. Thurston, second.

With the openiDg of the schools, Sej)- tember 6, a large number of the sum iiier resorters returned, and we now look for the opening of the 1910-1911 season. While business for the month of July was about the same as last year, the Wisconsin Floral Co. reports an increase for the month of August over last sea- son; all in all, trade duiing the sum- mer was quite satisfactory. In having a balcony put in at his store, Wm. Zimmermann not only gains considerably more room, but gives the establishment a neater appearance. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Leidiger, of the Edlefsen-Leidiger Co., who have been spending the last ten days visiting rela- tives at Athens, N. Y., and taking in other points of interest in the east, are expected home the latter part of this week. This firm reports an unusual amount of wedding work for this week. The young son of Chas. Menger, who some time ago broke his arm and was convalescing nicely, had the misfortune to fall and break the same arm again. The C. C. Pollworth Co. expects the arrival of three carloads of Holland bulbs the latter part of this week. Jim Spence, who for years was em- ployed by Currie Bros., but of late was with the Nebraska Seed Co., is renew- ing acquaintances in our city. G. H. Hunkel, of G. H. Hunkel Co., reports E. J. Deal, representative of W. W. Johnson & Son, Boston, England, as a visitor. Gust Pohl, who had his asters where he could water them during the dry spell, is being well rewarded for his labors, for his stock is fine, and the Holton & Hunkel Co. find no trouble in disposing of them at good prices. Miss A. Zender, of Eogers Park, 111., who has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Holton since August 30, returned to her home the middle part of this week; she attended the florists' picnic and reported having a fine time. Other visitors were: Geo. Thomp- son, of Northrup, King & Co., Minne- apolis, Minn.; Eric Johnson and a friend, of the A. L. Bandall Co., Chi- cago; Adolph Poehlmann, Morton Grove, 111.; Martin Reukauf, of H. Bay- ersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia; Art. Craig, of Robt. Craig Co., Philadelphia; E. Haentze, of Fond du Lac, Wis.; P. Sylvester, Oconomowoc, Wis., and Robt. Mueller, Racine, Wis. Alex. Klokner, of Wauwatosa, left a fortnight ago on a business and pleas- ure trip to the old country. He ex- pects to return by the middle of No- vember. E. 0. HAIL AT CEDAR BAFIDS. On Saturday, August 20, we had the most severe hail storm ever known in this section of Iowa, most of the hail coming down in the form of irregular chunks of ice one and one-half inches to two and one-half inches in diame- ter. We had about 165 boxes of glass broken. We are mailing you under sep- arate cover a photograph of part of our houses. This shows the north side of our houses, where most of the damage was done, though considerable glass was broken on the south side, as can be seen on the small house in the pho- Hail Wrecked Greenhouses of L N. Kramer & Son, Cedar Rapids, Ia« tograph. The glass still left on the houses, as shown in the photograph, is nearly all cracked and broken, and that which was knocked out was ham- mered in small pieces, looking as though it had gone through a mill. Palms, rubbers, roses, carnations and stock of every description were badly damaged. Outdoor stock was cut to pieces. Dahlia stalks an inch or more in diameter were cut oflf, and vegetables pounded to a jelly. Great damage was done to churches, schoolhouses and also to farm crops. I. N. Kramer & Son.

Universal sorrow will follow the an- nouncement of the death, September 1, of Lyman B. Craw at his home at Irvington, N. Y. His demise was not unexpected by those in position to keep in touch with him, for he had been ill for more than two years. He realized probably more fully than anyone else that his time was short and put his affairs in order, but never spoke of the future except in the most hopeful way. No man ever "wrapped the mantle of his couch about him and lay down to pleasant dreams" with greater thought- fulness for those about him. Lyman Burnham Craw was born forty years ago and his entire business career was with the Lord & Burnham Co. Beginning in the bookkeeping de- partment at the age of 17, by the time he had become 30 he had risen to be secretary of the company and its gen- eral sales manager. He continued in charge of the New York office for nearly ten years, during which time he gained a wide acquaintance and made many warm friendships in the trade. He understood every detail of green- house architecture and construction, and his foresightedness was noteworthy both as relates to the affairs of his company and those of the trade at large. Mr. Craw was a great lover of flowers and horticulture. His artistic and at- tractive house and grounds at Irvington show his knowledge of, and affection for, decorative landscape work. The home in which he was forced to leave his wife and little girl is indeed lovely. There gathered on Saturday, Septem- ber 3, a large number of business asso- ciates, friends and neighbors, to pay the last respect to one who had held the respect of all in life. There were many beautiful floral tributes. Edward Morrison. Edward Morrison, a nurseryman of Dansville, N. Y., died August 28 at his home on Health street, at the age of 60 years. He was a former street com- missioner and a member of the C. M. P. A. He is survived by his wife, two sons and one daughter, besides a brother and sister, who live in New York. Charles Schramm. Charles Schramm, of Toledo, O., a son of one of the pioneer florists of that city, died August 30 at his home, 1315 Cherry street, as a result of paralysis of the left side. He was 40 years old. With his brother, Benjamin Schramm, he took over his father's business some years ago. The other brother died less than three months ago. Mrs. Charles E. Wingate. Mrs. Addie R. Wingate, wife of Charles E. Wingate, of Lawrence, Mass., died at her home, 8 Fulton street, September 1, at the age of 59 years. She had been ill for about ten months. She was born in Lower Bart- lett, N. H., March 7, 1851, and was a daughter of Judge G. W. N. Pitman. After graduating from Fryeburg Acad- emy, in Fryeburg, Me., and spending a few years in teaching near her native place, she removed to Lawrence thirty- four years ago. She is survived by her husband, by three daughters, Mrs. Frank V. Thompson, of Boston; Mrs. Lyman B. Craw. Frank G. Murch, and Miss Willa Win- gate, of Lawrence; and by four sons, Edward, of Louisville, Ky.; Thomas Moses and Ray Wingate and Joseph Leon Wingate, all of Lawrence. IMPATIENS SULTANI. Last season I grew some sultan 's im- patiens, but the plants did not branch as freely as they should. D'o they re- quire to be kept pinched back? Some time ago I noticed an ad from Schmidt & Botley, in which they call attention to some new colors in impatiens. I can- not find their address. Can you supply itf H. E. D. G. I presume you refer to Impatiens Sultani, commonly called sultan's or Zanzibar balsam. Of I. Sultani sepa- rate shades of rosy scarlet and pink are offered in a number of seed cata- logues. I. Holstii can be procured either in its original color, a rich vermilion scarlet, or in mixed shades of color. All these impatiens make excellent pot plants. They also succeed well in the outside borders in summer, especially where they can get a slight shade. At some seaside resorts they are popular bedding plants, being notably well done at Bar Harbor, Me. They are improved by judicious pinching. The tops are easily rooted and soon make nice plants. Some growers offer as many as four separate shades of I. Sultani. The address of Schmidt & Botley is Springfield, O. C. W. Bowmanvllle, Ont. — S. J. Jackman is building several new greenhouses to take care of his increasing business. ALBANY, N.Y. The monthly meeting of the Albany Florists' Club was held in the evening of September 2, with President Fred Goldring in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting were read by Sec- retary F. A. Danker, and passed. Dis- cussions followed. William Sanders, grower for H. G. Ayres, brought a specimen of asters to be named, and it was decided by Sam Goldring to be the old Victoria, now so difficult to obtain. There was a conun- drum for the boys in the shape of two specimens of poinsettias, grown under exactly similar conditions; one was sick, the other healthy. Each member passed on it, agreeing it was an inter- esting subject and one for an expert. It was finally decided to send to Cornell for an opinion. President Goldring encouraged the idea of a question box, stating that it stimulated interest in the meetings. He has rounded out a long term of service, with a record of never missing a meet- ing, though he lives out in the country. It was decided to hold a fall show on even a larger scale than the one of last year, which was the first and a most successful one from every point of view. Committees were appointed and will at once get to work. Walter Mott, of the Yuess Gardens Co., was a visitor and gave a talk on convention matters and visits to the aster fields. M. Greenwich, Conn. — Robert Cummings, who had been employed by Mr. and Mrs. Cochran, of Yonkers, N. Y., for thirty-five years, has taken a position as gardener for Mrs. Bowen here. 14 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Sei'tembku 8, 1910. RliADERS AHi: INVITED TO CONTRIBUTE ITEMS FOR THIS DEPARTMENT.

Y., Post lists the Lake View Rose Gardens as among that f'ity 's most important manufacturing [)lants. Much needless correspondence will be avoided, if want advertisers will state in what section of the country they de- sire employment or help. The Illinois coal operators and their men have not yet settled their differ- ences, but are likely to get together any day now. In the meantime rose growers already are consuming fuel. M. Crawford, Cuyahoga Falls, O., sends The Review a sample spike of the new gladiolus, Miss Sill, a quite dis- tinct shade of deep pink that appears to have a place with America, Mrs. King and Augusta for retail cut flower work. A LONG SEASON. Here is the floral calendar for the season now opening: Thanksgiving day, Thursdav, Novem- ber 24, 1910. Christmas, Sunday, December 25, 1910. New Year 's, Sunday, January 1, 1911.

There is no civilized country on the face of the globe where The Review is not a weekly visitor to leading firms. .\s a result of our advertising in The Review we have sold our flower boxes to florists in nearly every state in the Union, and have been very gratified at the results therefrom. We were somewhat surprised, however, upon receiving In- quiries from foreign countries. We did not think your circulation reached farther than the .\merican boundaries. We have Just received an inquiry from Liverpool, England, for our Self- Watering Flower Boxes In answer to a Review ad.— Illinois Heater & Mfg. Co., Chicago. September 3, 1910. LADIES' S. A.

I have tried to soften it with lye, but did not have much success and shall be thankful if you can tell me of some way of removing it. It is about as hard as cement. G. H. Try corrosive sublimate. This chem- ical, however, is very poisonous and caustic, and great care is necessary so as not to get it on the skin. If this does not remove the putty, there is no recourse left but the chisel and ham- mer. Ribes. PROPAGATING HOUSES. We are thinking of building one or two small houses for propagating. Which would be the proper direction for them to run, east and west or north and south? What is the best width for a propagating house? Our location is southeastern Iowa. D. H. S. & S. It is often convenient to put in a north-side lean-to house, in which case it need not be more than six feet wide inside; but if an even-span house is used it can run in any direction, as will be most convenient, and a width of nine feet, inside measurement, will an- swer well. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. A Saturday half holiday, a Sunday and Labor day having fallen in suc- cession during the week just ended, the record of business naturally is not ex- tra good. Many of the class that buy flowers were out of the city for the triple holiday, and local demand was smaller than it otherwise would have been. There was a fair business Sep- tember 1 and 2, and the shipping houses were busy on the morning of Labor day, one or two of them having enough orders to keep them going all day long, though most of the houses, if they did not close at noon, were able to do so before the whole of the afternoon had passed. Recently business has appeared to dwindle during the three days fol- lowing Monday and the present week appears to hold out no better pros- pect. Supplies of stock are in every way adequate to the needs of the moment. There are perhaps two flowers on which it is not possible to fill all orders. These are carnations and orchids. The supply of cattleyas is extremely light, but there is no steady demand; the spasmodic calls sometimes cannot be met; advance orders are safest. A few indoor carnations are now being re- ceived, characteristically short of stem: the outdoor carnation crop has not amounted to much this year. There are quite a few orders for carnations and the small quantity with fair stems is realizing excellent prices. Receipts of roses are on the increase and prices are slightly lower. There are enough Beauties for all require- ments and with many houses the qual- ity is excellent for this date. The cut of Killarney also is on the up grade and other roses are proportionately more abundant. The growers who planted early are now getting into the September 8, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 17 1 THERE ARE NO BETTER BEAUTIES Than|Those We Ship in Quantity Eacli Day. The cut is not only large but steadily increasing — mostly medium stems, the length most in demand at this season. We invite all buyers in search of a dependable supply of thoroughly satisfactory Beauties to send their orders to us. KILLARNEY ...PINK AND WHITE... The Killameys, Pink and White, will be the big sellers this season and it is to your interest to put us to the test and prove for yourself our claim that our Killameys are in a class by themselves. You need these roses — we know you do — and we know you will recognize the fact if you try a few shipments. We are just getting into another heavy crop of both Pink and White Killarney timed just right for the opening of the fall business. ASTERS We can take good care of all orders, no matter what grade of stock is wanted — the finest, large, long-stemmed, " special " flowers in all colors can be had here in quantity, or we can supply the " select " grade if a good grade is wanted at a moderate price, with plenty of short-stemmed stock for work at $5.00 to $7.50 per 1000. Carnations Nice clean stock, the first indoor crop and therefore not yet long in stem. Lilies We can furnish fancy, long- stemmed Easter Lilies every day in the year. Gladioli Mrs. Francis King is the variety everybody wants; it's the best red and no other sort will take its place with buyers who know " glads." We can supply it in quantity, fine stock, at $5.00 to $6.00 per 100. Also a large crop of America* the one best light pink, and Augusta, white. Summer Stock We can supply any flower in sea- son.

The season for Richmond to be in demand has not yet arrived. The heavy rains within the week did temporary damage to all outdoor stock, but already the benefits are beginning to be apparent.

Wild smilax is now available on a few days' notice. All other greens are plentiful, fine adian- tum being abundant. Club Meeting. George Asmus, president of the Chi- cago Florists' Club and president-elect of the S. A. F., was given an enthusi- astic reception at the club meeting on the night of September 1. President Asmus and Mrs. Asmus had returned specially from their vacation, and the glad hand was the feature of the eve- ning. One or two ventured the expres- sion of regret that Chicago could not have obtained the next convention as well as the presidency. Secretary L. H. Winterson was ab- sent on his vacation and T. E. Waters acted in his stead. There was a gen- eral discussion of convention matters and a report on the fall flower show, which is to be held in the First Regi- ment Armory the first full week in November. Refreshments were served. Various Notes. Hoerber Bros, have developed 150 gallons per minute in the well at their Des Plaines greenhouses.

He says that veteran growers tell him there never has been so great a differ- ence in the quality of the plants with the various growers as there is this year.

The dry wood caught quickly, and before the fire was extinguished the place was gutted.

Roses are called for to an extent which makes good slock sought for, and low grades have moved up a hit, as far as demand is concerned.

Decorations are a feature with him. George Heelas has made himself highly popular with the Chautauqua visitors by his artistic and original de signing at Lake View during the assem- bly. F. A.

TheLeoNiessenCo. Wholesale Florists 1209 Arch Street PHILADELPHIA Open from 7 a. m. to 6 p PHILADELPHIA. The Bising Eastern Market. The first seven days of September have been dull in the cut flower mar- ket. Business was smaller the first three days of September than it had been during the corresponding days of the previous week; then came the holi- day following Sunday, accompanied by fierce heat. Flower buyers left the city. Those who remained took little interest in flowers. The wet weather followed by the heat made the quality poorer; brown-tipped asters were the rule while it was damp. Dahlias ar- rived in poor shape; even the finest stock suffered. Chester county has been sending some fine asters, but the percentage of good flowers is smaller than a week ago. There are numbers of small-flowered, short-stemmed asters coming into town that are unsalable, bringing only dis- appointment to all. Dahlias have not really started yet. The heavy ship- ments will not come for a few days, but by the time these lines appear dahlias will be an important factor. Gladioli are unchanged from a week ago. Easter lilies have shortened and the price is firmer. Valley is in good supply. Cattleyas continue scarce; there are now two grades. Beauties have become more plentiful. They are not selling so well as a week ago, though the quality is improving. Kai- serin is coming on crop again. There are plenty of nice Maryland and a few Killarney with substance. Hardly any of the carnation growers who produce largely in winter are shipping yet. Wild smilax has made its appearance, a sure sign of the approach of the deco- rative season. Club Meeting. Tuesday, September 6, was the hot- test September day in iflany years, and the attendance at the meeting of the Florists' Club that evening was thereby reduced. J. Otto Thilow, John Westcott and others spoke entertainingly of the pleasure and profit derived by all from the Rochester convention. The secretary was directed to express the sympathy of the members to the family on the death of George Eedford, superintendent of Mt. Vernon cemetery. This year's officers all were nomi- nated for reelection: President, Joseph Heacock; vice-president, Alfred Bur- ton; treasurer, George Craig; secretary, David Rust. The Largest Contract. Dreer has ordered two acres of green- houses from King. That is the brief of the news given out from 714 Chest- nut street. Elaborated, it means that the Henry A. Dreer corporation has placed the largest single building order ever placed in this vicinity; it is for two ranges of even-span, ridge and furrow, semi-iron construction, each range consisting of ten greenhouses 21x200, with a cor- ridor house between.

Two or Three Novelties. Paul Berkowitz pointed out a few novelties that had just come in from Europe. The impression they created was of an improved taste on the part of the foreign producers, undoubtedly fostered by the suggestions of H. Bayersdorfer. They included silver filigree baskets of pleasing design and excellent workmanship, and Dutch fig- ures of metal with baskets. These come two and two, as Mr. Berkowitz pointed out, a man and a woman or a lad and a lass in each pair, following in their metallic way the human law. Then there was a departure in im- perial chinaware. The low waterway idea that will not obstruct the view has been abandoned in this departure; tall vases in many shapes and combina- tions are the result. The material, coloring and workmanship are pre- served. Various Notes. .Tohn Curwen, of Berwyn, lost his boiler shed by fire September 1. His water supply was cut off by the blaze. Carl Corts, representing Joseph Hea- cock Co., September 6, brought in the first roses from the new place at Koe- lofs station. Godfrey Aschmann this week com- menced the erection of one new house 12x75, Lord & Burnham material, under the direction of John Aschmann. William C. Herbert, of David Her- bert & Son, Atco, N.

The feature is a handsome display refrigerator in full view of all passersby. This branch will be run in connection with Mr. Pappas 's main stand in the waiting room. Walter Davis has returned from his vacation. W. J. Gait has been in charge of the Sign of the Eose during the summer. M. Rice & Co. report the following visitors: Harvey Sheaf, manager for Mrs. F. A.

David Feurstenberg is enjoying a rest from work at tlie city Vjy the sea. Arthur Zirkman was in a hold-up near Ogden, Utah, some time ago. The desperados looted the express car and went through the passengers in the day coach, but, luckily, did not attempt the Pullman, where Mr. Zirkman was asleep. None of the passengers was injured, but a brakeman was badly hurt. One poor woman had all her money taken; this the passengers generously replaced. Phil. HAMMONTON, N. J. The Association of Hammonton Dahlia Growers was organized Monday evening, August 29, and elected William F. Bassett president, C. A. Wood vice- president and Edw. II. White secretary. The commercial growers of Hammon- ton, realizing that some of the best dahlia blooms in the Philadelphia mar- ket were grown in Hammonton and vicinity, decided to organize for the purpose of further advertising Ham- monton grown dahlias, securing better transportation facilities, improved methods of cultivation, etc. They have adopted a uniform copyrighted label, which will be attached to all shipments. NEWBUEOH, N. Y. Dr. Wesley W'ait returned from Rochester well pleased with the interest his exhibit created at the convention. Plans are under way for forming a stock company to handle the business, which is already pushing the doctor hard. Caldwell & .Tesperson have completed the j^etty store fronting their plant and will make it very attractive. Their stock is in elegant shape. R.

George Chadburn, of the Schaefer Co., is an artist in song as well as flow- ers. One of his favorites is "A Garden of Roses," which always makes a hit with his audience and is quite an ad it the same time. M. NEW YORK. The Market. There is little to add to last week's report of the market. It is simply marking time and the wholesalers say it will do little else until October. For- tunately, shipments of roses and carna- tions are light, but it takes much in- genuity to dispose of the flood of asters and the great sufficiency of gladioli, tritomas, dahlias and hydrangeas. The' late rains have been of great service and there is no danger of a scant sup- ply of anything. A few chrysanthemums are seen, har- bingers of a tremendous flood in the near future, for everybody is growing them around New York. Beauties sel- dom touch 20 cents, except for the best, and only ten per cent of the arrivals reach that value. Killarney is fast ap- proaching perfection again, but the stems arc short and few go above 4 cents, the average being under $10 per thousand. The retail windows show some fine sprays of orchids. Gardenias are here again and their price is rising. The best valley does not go above 3 cents and lilies have fallen again to 6 cents and under. There is no limit to the aster shipments. They come from Rochester in great quantities. The mar- ket cannot digest them all. Vast quan- tities of small and inferior stock go into the discard, but the best asters command a good price and meet with a ready sale. Few have gone above $2 per hundred, however. From now on dahlias will increase daily. The fern, evergreen, wild smilax and moss men do not complain. All of them, including the supply houses, are busy preparing for the coming season and seemingly expectant of success. P'very day brings us nearer to the upward swing of the market. New York is ready for the increase in demand, the inevitable result of a growth in population that totals close to five millions. Septdmbbb 8, 1010.

Monday, September 12, the first fall meeting of the New York Florists' Club takes place, at its rooms in the Grand Opera House building on Twenty- third street. There will be convention echoes. A good exhibit is promised and samples of the prizes won at Roch- ester will be on exhibition, with gen- eral opportunity to test their value. A ladies' night is contemplated in Octo- ber. The club was never in a more prosperous condition. It was repre- sented at the funeral of Lyman B. Craw, one of its most popular mem- bers, Saturday, September 3, at Irving- ton, by President A. L. Miller, W. F. Sheridan, J. H. Pepper, James Meikel- john and J. Austin Shaw. The club sent a floral wreath. President Pierson, of Tarrytown, a beautiful tribute and a wealth of flowers from many friends and business associates banked the room and covered the coffin. Mr. Craw bore his long and severe illness with wonderful patience and bravery, con- scious for some time of the inevitable. He was a man of rare business tact and energy and had been connected with the firm of Lord & Burnham for over twenty years. He leaves a wife and daughter, to whom the sympathy of all in the trade is extended in their great bereavement. The Long Island Bowling Club began practice for Baltimore Tuesday after- noon and evening, August 30. Every Thursday Flatbush bowls harmoniously.

I., last week and this week, liberal prizes were given for car- pet bedding, geraniums, asters, bego- nias, celosias, salvias, coleus and can- nas, also foliage plants, palms, ficus and golden privet. John Dreier, of Middle Village, displayed his skill, as usual, in a miniature cottage garden, and l^ed Marquardt, of the same town, con- structed the great column of fruit and flowers, the most attractive novelty of the exhibition. The prizes were all in gold, and the artistic work of the flo- rists was greatly admired by many thousands of visitors, especially on Sunday. August F. Schrader, of Elm- hurst, has been the superintendent of this great festival for fifteen years. Among the prize winners whose names are familiar to all are: John Baumann, John Dreier and Fred Marquardt, of Middle Village; C. Woerner and Charles Koch, of Flatbush; A. Miller, of Jamaica, and Herman Maenner, of Maspeth. Julius Roehrs left September 5 with his son for a trip to Mexico. The MacNiff Horticultural Co., 62 Vesey street, has opened its auction rooms, with Robert MacNiff at the helm. He is a young man of splendid energy and has many years of expe- rience in this line of work. Charles Millang was autoing last week among his growers, calling on John M. Hunter & Son and T. W. Ly- decker & Co., of Englewood, David D-ean, son of the veteran, James Dean, and he also visited Bretenzel. Ly- decker & Co. have twelve houses plant- ed to roses and carnations.

COLUMBUS, OHIO Mention The Review when you write. SABATOOA SPRINQS, N. Y. T, J. Totten is glad the racing season is over, though it brings considerable business. The grounds planted by him were at their best at the critical time, regardless of the dry season. Henry Schrade has completed a house for Carnation Canary Bird, which is a good grower and increases in popularity each season. A large order from Mon- treal for Gladiolus Canary Bird and Carnation Canary Bird was turned down with regret, as the two Canaries would have delighted the foreign visitors for whose reception they were needed. John Ealph, of this city, is an active member of the Albany Florists' Club, one of many out-of-town members. Christian Dehn is putting in concrete benches. The Wilson-Hoyt Co. has the contract. M. BAIiDWINSVILLE, N. T. A visit to the aster fields of H. B. Williams was most interesting. A ter- rific hail storm had preceded us about three days and had played havoc with some crops. Tobacco leaves were stripped as with a knife. The early varieties of asters had suffered some- what, and, owing to the dry season, many had been replanted, but an aver- age harvest of seed is expected. Great care is taken in roguing and all stocks H. &D.

LOUIS. The Market. Business continued about the same as in the previous week, though the change from the cool to the warm weather, of course, had some effect on the trade. There will soon be a change for the better, as a great many of our society people have returned from their summer trips in time for the opening of the schools, and this is generally looked upon as the first sign of active fall business. The wholesalers had about the u^ual amount of stock on hand daily. A great many more asters are in the mar- ket, however, being shipped in from northern points. The warm days last week had a marked effect on roses, which came in open and soft, though some good shipments were also seen. Carnations, too, are coming in more freely, but they are still small and short-stemmed. Single tuberose stalks continue to be a glut, and glads are still with us. The recent heavy rains damaged outdoor stock somewhat. Greens of all kinds continue in good demand. Various Notes. Will Craig, of the Robert Craig Co., Philadelphia, was in the city last week, calling on the trade. He reports good business in his line. He went directly home from here. Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Weber, Jr., have returned from their honeymoon trip to Atlantic City, N. J., and arc receiving daily congratulations from their many friends in the trade.

H. G. Evans, lately with the Idle Hour Greenhouses, has taken a position as manager for .1. F. Ammann 's store at Alton, 111. Mrs. Dietchie, who had charge there last year, has retired from the business. It was reported by one of the leading Kirkwood growers, in his recent visits to his manv neighbors in St. Louis county, that'from 80,000 to 100,000 feet of glass had been added at Kirkwood this summer, with a good many begin ners in the business. The St. Louis Seed Co. has issued its new fall catalogue, which is a hand- some one. The firm is looking for a large fall trade in bulbs. A learned Japanese professor, lec- turer on botany in the Imperial Uni- versity, Tokio, Japan, in company with several botanists of Japan, visited the Missouri Botanical Garden last week and they were guests of William Tre- lease, director, and H. C. Irish, super- intendent of tlie garden. The oriental botanists were astonished at the com- pleteness of the garden. The wholesale house of W. C. Smith and that of H. G. Berning have made groat clianges during the summer, both having doubled their room. Those com- ing home from their summer vacations hardly knew the places, which are now completed. E. W. Guy, of Belleville, J. F. Am- mann, of Edwardsville, C. E. De Wever, of Clayton, and John Connon, of Web- ster Groves, spent Friday afternoon, September 2, in this city, attending the meeting of the Bulletin committee at Smith 's. The meeting of the Ladies' Home Circle this week, September 8, at Ro- mona park, is partly in the form of an outing, occupying the whole day. Our nurserymen, Messrs. Sanders, Weber, Schuette and Eothenhoeber, say they have plenty of orders for fall de- livery of fruit and shade trees and shrubs. They are putting on extra forces for the work. Henry Ostertag, head of the Ostertag Bros., supervised several large decora- tions last week. He says he disposed of over 100 large bay trees this sum- ber, as well as a number of other large decorative plants. L. P.

Custom-house brokers now are li- censed bv the government. Formosa lily bulbs are selling well, much better than Harrisii. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has issued a bulletin by E. A. Oakley, "Canada Bluegrass; Its Culture and Uses. ' ' The .seed business is no longer a short season affair. The average seedsman manages to keep something doing all the year around. Carl R. Gloeckner, president of the Jiuds corporation, New York, states that new warehouse facilities have been se- cured at 81 Barclay street. Orders for the south are coming to hand in pleasing volume; market gar- dening is increasing at a tremendous rate, both in the southeast and in Texas. Little in the way of detailed news is coming to hand from German seed grow- ers, but advices are to the general effect that conditions there are not materially better than in France and in England. Biennials are a light crop all over Europe. It is reported that A. J. Pieters, while retaining an interest in the Pieters- Wheeler Seed Co., Hollister, Cal., of v.hich L. W. Wheeler is now the active head, has removed to Ann Arbor, Mich., where li*" will occupy the chair of botany in the University of Michigan. The market for practically all canned vegetables is dull but strong. Prices are not so high as the reports of short packs might lead one to expect, but quotations are largely nominal, there being little actual business stirring, due to the fact that most of the packers are oversold. "Fortuxately the weather does not affect to any extent the crop of cyclamen seed." say Stuart Low & Co., Bush Hill Park, England, "or else we should have a very poor report to give indeed. Ours seems to be an average crop, but we have already sold out of Cyclamen Eileen Low, the novelty that we offered this season for the first time, and the seed of Schizanthua Wisetonensis and the new gerbera hybrids are also selling freely."

The damage to bulbs is still unknown, but will undoubtedly be heavy. The storms were severe, causing landslides every- vvhere, with much damage to crops of all kinds. DUTCH BULBS. The season's crop of Holland bulbs has been arriving in small lots ever since the latter part of July, a record for earliness having been made this year with the first shipment, consisting of eighty cases of narcissi from C.

The outlook for the cauliflower seed crop in Denmark is encouraging, as well for quality as for quantity, ac- cording to Hjalmar Hartmann & Co., but cabbage will be a short crop, on ac- count of early frosts last fall before planting time, through which many heads were injured, and through the attack of insects during the summer. However, the favorable weather dur- ing the spring and summer, contrary to the reports from other seed sections, they say, has somewhat straightened out the bad condition, but, nevertheless, a shortage of twenty-five per cent is expected in Danish Ballhead, tall- stemmed, and even more in the Danish Roundhead, short-stemmed, and Danish Summer Ballhead.

The harvest of California seed crops is nearly completed and actual condi- tions are now ascertainable. "On the whole, we have had a favorable year," said L. W. Wheeler, secretary of the Pieters-Wheeler Seed Co., of Hollister, Cal., August 31. "Lettuce is, with few exceptions, a good crop, and there will be a surplus of lea^ng kinds after orders are filled. Eadish is good with some growers, fair to medium with others; but with the extreme shortage in Europe, there will not be enough California surplus to go around, now that the trade is learning that Cali- fornia radish, if properly grown, is equal to imported for ordinary garden Septbmbeb 8, 1910.

Inquiries are com- ing in daily from this country and Europe. Onion, which promised in June to be a heavy crop, has fallen down materially in yield at harvest time and will not, when all is cleaned and sacked, average a normal crop, the hot weather during July having injured this important crop at least twenty-five per cent." HOLItAND'S SEED CROPS. Generally speaking, the weather has been as unfavorable for seed crops in Holland during almost the whole of the last year as it has been in other seed- growing sections of Europe. In the au- tumn of 1909, heavy rains made difiS- cult the tilling of the soil and, though the winter was extremely mild, many plants could not endure the long spell of moisture, and rotted; moreover, the absence of frosts made the soil ill adapted for the planting of the more delicate articles in spring. Spring weather was favorable, but May and June brought great heat, to the injury of many articles. July again brought rough weather and many crops suffered from heavy winds and rains. Sluis & Groot, of Enkhuizen, say that an early promise of fair crops of cab- bage has been dissipated and that only a middling crop is now in prospect. Cauliflower promises a sufficient crop. Turnips passed the winter well, but a considerable part were destroyed by floods. The remainder developed well at the outset, but the sudden change of temperature, coupled with the ravages of insects, greatly reduced the number of seed pods, so that the crops will not be more than middling. A good crop of swedes is expected and the small acreage of kohlrabi promises a fair crop. There will be an average crop of mangel and sugar beet. Garden beets look poor and the crop will be small. A limited area of carrot looks well. Parsnip will produce less than an aver- age crop. There is a large acreage of cornsalad. Badish promises well. Onion will be a small crop, and of parsley there will be less than an average crop. Spinaches promise a good crop. Peas will be poor, but beans are recov- ering and can yield a good crop if favorable weather continues. Nasturtium and pansies are among the flower seeds that are yielding well. Of petunia, verbena and phlox there will be a good yield. Mignonette prom- ises less than an average yield. Of most of the other flower seeds, either the areas planted were small or there are open spaces in the fields. The har- vest will doubtless be below the aver- age in quality, but no serious short- ages are in prospect. AMZI GODDEN'S CAPITAL RISE. The Amzi Godden Co., Birmingham, Ala., has just increased its authorized capital stock from $40,000 to $100,000 for the purpose of extending its busi- ness. The Amzi Godden seed business was started in 1857 and, though beset by difficulties at first, pursued its way through troublous times until it became firmly established as one of Alabama's permanent business institutions. In 1896 it became incorporated, then with a capital of $15,000. The business grew as the efforts of the officers became more and more to be felt, and in 1901 If your business demands a good ar« tide in lily bulbs, you cannot do better than to buy Horse- shoe Brand bulbs.

There seems to be no great surplus of flowers, but the demand as yet lacks snap. Summer dullness has not yet given place to fall activity. It is hoped that the return of vacationists will this week improve matters some- what. Asters are still the predominant factor in the market and the quality is unusually good, but they are so abun- dant that their values have sunk to a rather unprofitable level. Few pass over $1 per hundred and others are cleared as low as 300 for the same price. Gla- dioli are still in heavy supply and in- clined to drag. Roses, while not of good quality, are steadily improving and are meeting with a fair sale, as are the few carna- tions coming in of the new season's crop. Lilies are ample for all demands, longiflorum being the best seller. Such sweet peas as are seen are of poor qual- ity. Quite a little Texas heath, Physos- tegia Virginica, is seen. It is an ex- cellent perennial for cutting, lasting re- markably well. There is an abundance of cosmos, candytuft, cornflowers and other outdoor flowers. Asparagus Sprengeri and plumosus and adiantum are of fine quality, but selling slowly at present. Pot plant trade shows signs of starting up a little. Various Notes.

Whittier, of the Framingham Nurseries, whose obituary notice ap- peared in last week's issue of The Re- view, had been in business in Framing- ham for seventeen years. He left a widow and three children, all girls. His only son died some years ago. His death will, it is said, necessitate some changes in the business of the firm, which became incorporated as W. B. Whittier & Co, several years ago. H. W. Vose, of Hyde Park, is send- ing in many of the finest gladioli and asters seen at C Park street at present.

At the Harvard Botanic Gardens the T. W. Weathered Co., of New York, will build a fine range of new green- houses to take the place of the existing palm range, which will be dismantled. The new range will be of larger area than the old one. The New England Dahlia Society's annual exhibition will open in Horti- cultural hall September 16. A fine dis- play is expected, although dahlias are not, as a rule, blooming so well as usual. This exhibition will be followed a week later by the autumn show of the Massachusetts Horticultural So- ciety. We have been favored with quite generous rains of late, commencing September 3. Labor day gave consid- erable precipitation, which, while splen- did for crops, somewhat marred the pleasure of holiday seekers. The mini- mum approached the freezing point in several places on the morning of Sep- tember .3, but we have not heard of any frost damage. Local nurseries are experiencing a good fall demand for evergreens, Sep- tember being considered the best month for planting this class of stock, many preferring early fall to spring planting. The Hanover Greenhouses are send- ing in a fine lot of Physostegia Vir- ginica, locally known as Texas heath, to C Park street.

Business was fair last week. Funeral work was quite heavy and there were a few calls for flowers for socials. Roses and carnations are improving slowly, in both the flower and length of stem. Some good asters are seen. Various Notes. The roses and carnations at Julius Niednagel & Sons' place are in good shape. The mums are coming along nicely. A large number of plants grown in pots outdoors appear to extra good advantage. Business is good with this firm. Geo.- Blackman says business is good for the season. They are cutting some fine Beauties in all lengths. The other roses are good and the cut is large. The carnations are showing fine im- provement, especially White Perfection. The stems are long and the flowers are good. J. C. Elsperman reports a good busi- ness. He has planted one bench of roses, Ivory, this year. It is his first trial at growing roses for cut flowers. His carnations are growing nicely. Henry Seymour is having a good trade. Karl Zeidler is cutting some good outdoor roses. E. L. F. CINCINNATI. The Market. The business transacted last week was considerable, but as a whole the supply of stock exceeded the demand and quite a bit was left over. One thing particularly noticeable in the mar- ket is the lack of a large quantity of really good flowers on Monday morning.

If those ship- pers at a distance would take the trouble to spend a few hours packing on Sunday and ship so as to get their goods here early the next day, the ready sale they would find would make their extra exertion worth while. The roses are in an increased supply and all the winter varieties are now otfered. Beauties and white roses are in especially large numbers. New car- nations are now on the market: the stems are short, but the blooms are good. There is some good aster stock about. The supply of choice gladioli is waning and points toward the end of the season for these flowers. A large number of poorer ones fill the wholesalers' refrig- erators. Steady consignments of Easter lilies arrive daily. The daily quantity of cosmos offered is increasing. The green goods market is quiet. Various Notes. J. A. Peterson's new greenhouses arc nearing completion. Kecently he sent several shipments of Begonia Glory of Cincinnati to England. Mr. Peterson has six large houses full of these be- gonias, which are growing nicely. R. Witterstaetter has finished potting up his Boston ferns. They range in size from 6-inch to 10-inch and are, as a whole, the finest he has ever had. They did not suffer the least bit when they were potted.

HELENA, MONT. Flower Show. The first flower show of the Helena Horticultural Society was held in the Auditorium, August 25 and 26, and was pronounced a great success. The Horti- cultural Society is a ladies' organiza- tion, but the ladies were ably assisted by practiQal florists, such as Victor Siegel, of the Columbia Gardens, at Butte, and representatives of the State Nursery Co., of this city. On both days of the show the hall was crowded. Entries were numerous, indeed, and if future shows improve as they are naturally expected to do, some fine exhibits are certain. Besides the grand exhibit of the State Nursery Co., there were some fine speci- mens of decorative plants and hanging baskets from C. O. Horn, of the Gran- don Greenhouses, in this city. Victor Siegel, of the Columbia Gar- dens, assisted in judging. The younger florists were greatly pleased to see Mrs. Wells, the pioneer florist of Montana, present. J. W. Mallinson and J. W. Jackson represented the State Nursery Co., although T. E. Mills, the firm's manager, dropped in on both days. Various Notes. A severe frost hit this city on the night of August 24 and most of the outside flowers perished. The frost was not so unwelcome, however, as it would have been if it had arrived a day or two sooner, before the last of the flowers had been picked for the flower show. Peter Miller, of the Helena Floral Co., is making many improvements at his establishment. The State Nursery Co. is remodeling several of its older houses and is find- ing it necessary to hurry the work along with all possible speed, now that the first frost has been felt. The Missoula Nursery Co., of Mis- soula, Mont., is adding f* its glass, and C. F. Dallman is busy h^^erintending the work. Findlay O. — Miss Lauretta Miller re- cently opened a flower store here.

ALWAYS MENTION THE FLORISTS' REVIEW WHEN WRITING ADVERTISERS 60 The Weekly Florists' Review* September 8, 1010. FBANKUN, PA. This town recently held its second Old Home week and about 2,000 old residents registered. The words of the Old Home week song, ' ' Home Again in Franklin," were written by W. T. Bell, the father of the present members of the Bell Floral Co. and connected with the firm until two years ago. Among the attractions during the week was a Stroebel airship, driven by Jack Dallas, which made two or three flights each day. The float of the Bell Floral Co. won second prize in the Industrial day pa- rade. It was decorated in the official colors, red and white, with red and white gladioli, palms, etc.; also doves and red bells. In the float were two of the firm, Edward and John Bell, with the latter 's son, C. Ward Bell, all wearing white shirts and trousers and red sashes. On the horse was a net of smilax, with tiny red bells all over it. The official flower for the week was the red geranium, and nearly all the beds and porch boxes were planted with that flower. CHILLICOTHE, MO. Professor R. E. Moss, of this place, has removed to Vinita, Okla., where he is erecting a greenhouse, 27x100. From now on he will be a commercial florist and will leave the "Prof." off. R. L. Isherwood has just built an- other house, 27x100. Its walls consist of four feet of concrete and three feet of glass. It will contain electric lights and concrete benches and walks, and will be one of the best built houses of its size in this part of the state. Mr. Isherwood has bought an interest in the Bank of Chillicothe and will be actively connected with it; so Thomas Edds, the man who gives his whole attention to flowers, will run the green- houses.

But the Indiana operators, resuming work after a very short delay, have seemed to fill this gap without trouble, and Ohio has been largely left out, owing to its larger haul and higher rate, until the deficit of at least 2,000,000 tons, which should have come from Illinois mines, has been supplied by other districts and appar- ently can get on without any ^Illinois coal — if need be. To us it seems that the prospect is good for a good year 's trade, as we know positively that about so many millions of tons of coal will be demanded and will be used, and what is not ordered on Monday will be certainly called for on Saturday." If there is any grower who did not make his coal contract "Monday" he ought to get busy, for "Saturday" is only a half day. VIOLET HOUSE AND LEAN-TO. Will you please tell me how to pipe a lean-to for hot water? It is 14x20, slopes toward the south and is five feet high at the eaves and ten feet at the highest point. Three feet of the exposed wall is siding, the rest glass. I want to grow carnations another year, though this year I shall use it for growing vio- lets, on benches. I want it piped for carnation temperature and I have some 1%-inch pipes which I should like to use if practicable. The house is against an ofiice, having a cellar under it, in which is the boiler, a Wilks 20x36, used now to heat a violet house, which is 16x40, three feet at the eaves and eight feet at the ridge; it is even-span, with glass in the south side. Do you think this boiler will carry both houses at a violet tem- perature this winter, in this New York climate? 1 had trouble to keep the larger house from freezing at times last winter, but thought it was due to in- sufficient piping. It has four 1%-iach flows on each side, above the beds, with two 2-inch returns leading back to the boiler. Is this enough? E. H. If the side and both ends of the lean-to are exposed, it would be well to heat it by running five lines of l'^- incli j)ipe around these three sides of the house, or a part of the piping could be used under the benches. The boiler should be large enough to heat both houses without difficulty, and if every- thing is properly arranged the eight lines of 1%-inch pipe should be suffi- cient to keep up a suitable temperature for violets, although one or two extra pipes might be desirable in extremely cold weather.

Market gardeners throughout Khode Island have suffered losses amounting to many thousands of dollars this season through damage to their cucumber crop by a new disease. The crop has been reduced fully seventy-five per cent and unless something can be found to check the. disease the cucumber is threatened with extinction in Ehode Island. Melons have been affected as well. One large garden farm in Crans- ton is said to have lost particularly heavily. Tho ravages of the pest have become so extensive that plant special- ists from the Department of Agricul- ture at Washington have gone to Provi- dence to study the disease at the re- quest of Dr. H. J. Wheeler, director of the experimental station at the Rhode Island State College at Kings- ton. ASPARAGUS AND RHUBARB. I should like to ask if I could grow asparagus and rhubarb under the benches in a carnation house, and if the hot water pipes would be in the way, running under the benches. W. E. M. Asparagus and rhubarb can be grown under carnation benches, but not so satisfactorily as where more heat is at command. The benches with hot water pipes below them would not be suitable for such crops. You could grow both asparagus and rhubarb much better in a dark cellar or shed where a minimum temperature of 60 degrees can be kept up. Rhubarb is better grown in the dark, as the stalks are then of a rich red color. Asparagus is also paler in color and more delicate in flavor when similarly grown. Excellent crops of both vegetables can be had early in the year by making sunken hotbeds, containing twenty-four to thirty inches of warm manure, placing sashes and mats over them to exclude the light. Be sure to allow both vegetables to have one or two good freezings before lifting them, and preserve all the roots possible. Mushrooms can be quite successfully grown under carnation benches if there are no heating pipes in the way, if an arrangement is made to throw off the drip and if light and air are excluded as far as possible. C. W. Biddeford, Me. — Ground has been broken for the new greenhouse which is to be built by the Strout Co. at its plant on Alfred street. It will be de- voted to bedding plants this winter and tilled with carnations and other choice flowers next summer, and is 30x 142 feet. Vegetable Plants C^bbSK** All Head.

The urn of flowers is one of the de- signs of recognized appropriateness for such an event as the inauguration of a jmblic official, a greeting upon the occasion of the opening of a new busi- ness venture, or for presentation to the champion baseball club or a debutante vaudeville team, but it is not often called for as a funeral design. The accompanying illustration shows a tioral urn ibade for funeral purposes by the Krug Floral Co., Alton, 111. It is noteworthy that in this case the urn itself was not made solid of white car- nations or asters, as is commonly the case, but was made of green, with Kaiserin roses and valley loosely ar- ranged. The handles were of smilax, but plumosus sprays were the green used among the flowers. Of course the urn was represented as filled with Beau- ties, for hardly any other rose will pro- duce the desired effect in so large a piece. Ground of solid white at the bottom of the urn afforded a space for the word "Father" in chenille letters. CBOOEED GLADIOLUS STEMS. The query of J. J. H., under the head of ' ' Crooked Gladiolus Stems, ' ' on page 11 of The Review for September 1, prompts me to offer the opinion that in certain kinds of work the crookedness of the stems may be an advantage rather than an obstacle. For instance, gladioli with crooked stems can be used in vases in such a way that the bunch of flowers appears graceful, which can never be done with the stiff, straight spikes of the standard florists' sorts. I make this suggestion in the hope of bringing out some discussion on the subject. E. S. Miller. GLADIOLI AS A WINTER CROP. Are gladioli profitable for forcing as a separate winter crop? When can they be gotten into bloom? When should they be planted and what are the best varieties? C. A. S. Gladioli are a fairly profitable crop for flowering in late winter and spring. The bulbs of the small flowering varie- ties of the Colvillei and nanus types are procurable in September and should be planted in flats containing four inches of soil. One flat, 4x12x24, will hold fifty to sixty bulbs. The earliest date when any of the small flowered varieties can be satisfactorily and profitably flowered is February. From that date a succes- sion may be had until the end of June. A few suitable small flowering sorts are: Colvillei The Bride and Blushing Bride; in the nanus type, such sorts as Peach Blossom, Numa, Acker- manii, Mathilde, Bose Queen and Pink Perfection. Bulbs of the large-flowered gladioli do not usually come to hand before De- cember. They can be had in bloom from March until July, or until such time as the outdoor crop comes in season. They succeed well in benches containing five to six inches of soil, and where the night temperature does not exceed 52 degrees. Useful varieties for indoor culture are: America, light lavender pink, the most popular of all; Shake- up when the tops have died off, stored through the winter and planted out the following spring, and if so, how can they be kept in best condition through the rest period? H. H. Lilium auratum is one of the most showy, but at the same time one of the most fickle of lilies. Your experi- ence parallels that of a vast majority of those who grow it outdoors. The reason for its failing after the first year I cannot tell. Given special locations, I have known it to grow and flower well for a number of years. One of these locations is in a rhododendron bed, kept heavily mulched with leaves all the time, the soil below these never becom- ing dry. These conditions are what most lilies like. Our hot, dry climate does not suit them, and as a conse- The Floral Urn for FuneraL speare, white, suffused carmine rose; Augusta, pure white, anthers blue; Brenchleyensis, bright vermilion scar- let; May, white, marked rosy crimson; Mrs. F.

The bulbs purchased and planted in the autumn flower satisfactorily the following Au- gust, but after that the flowers are imperfect. Should the bulbs be taken quence but few varieties thrive and most of these finally dwindle and vanish. Lilium late. auratum bulbs arrive quite ., usually about the end of Novem- ber. They must be planted as soon as possible after they arrive. Always avoid the use of fresh manure of any kind in the soil for lilies. If you use any, let it be old and well decayed. Place some sand below and over the bulbs and cover them at least nine inches; a foot is better if you have a soil of fair The Weekly Florists^ Review* Septembhr 15, 1910.

Give them a mulch of littery- manure or leaves over winter. I like the latter the best. After the {jrowths have appeared in spring, give the soil about them a liberal mulch of old ma- nure, leaves or any other material which will prevent the soil from drying out. If you have facilities for watering, they will appreciate a lot of it. The first season many auratums be- come diseased. I think this is mainly due to the bulbs being lifted and shipped before being properly matured. Lifting and storing the bulbs will not give you any better results than leaving them in tlie ground. Plant deeply, mulch liberally, water freely and you will give the bulbs the conditions as near to their liking as possible. C. W. ..SEEDLINGS DAMP OFF. I'lease let nie know what makes my Canterbury bells damp off. I sowed seed and, when large enough, I re- planted in flats, but found tUey would damp off in spite of all my care. I give them morning sun and a cool piac^ in the afternoon. Please tell me if the trouble is in the soil or if this warm weather causes it. I wish to force these Canterbury bells and should like to know if I have to pot them along as I would geraniums, or let them go from 3-inch pots to their blooming-size pots. i also find seedling pansies damping off; that is, their stems seem to rot off. A. D. Your Canterbury bells would have done more satisfactorily if they had been transplanted outdoors instead of into flats. They do not require any afternoon shade; the full sun is what they need. Too frequent waterings and sprinklings overhead are probably re- sponsible for the plants damping off. Canterbury bells make their chief growtii during September and the first iialf of October, and it would be better for you even now to set out your re- maining young plants in an open, sunny spot, in rich soil. Keep the ground well loosened and they will grow quite fast, particularly if showers happen along about the time you set them out. Canterbury bells need not be potted along; the better way is to lift from the open ground i^ate in October ajid pot into 'whatever'' pots they are to flower in; as a rule, 8-inah is a suitable size. Keep outdoors as late as possible, then give coldframe jirotection and allow some frost to reach them. Place in gentle heat after Christmas. Probably you are also causing the damping of your pansies by the too free use of water. Do not try to keep the seedling beds damp, end do not shade them at all after the seed has germi- nated. • Hemove the damped-off plants; loosen the surface soil and let it dry out well after each watering. C. W. OLIVIA MINIATA. I am enclosing a plant which I should like to know the name of. I also wish to know how it should be grown and whether it is hardy or a hothouse plant. W.G.B. This is a greenhouse plant called Clivia miniata, and also known as Imantophyllum miniatum. It does well in a minimum winter temperature of 50 degrees. The heads of orange yel- low, lily-like flowers are usually pro- duced in February and March. ftt*ropa- gation is by seed or division of the plants. The latter method is simple. Be carefjul to keep as many whole roots f o^^ the dividecLportions as possible and kelp oil the dry side until well estab- lished. It is necessary to rather under- water these plants. Any excess of moisture will cause rotting of the stems. In summer they do particularly well stood outdoors under the shade of trees. C. W. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. Feeding. The question of feeding is a most important one, if one wishes to grow his plants to the best possible advan- tage. Liquid fertilizers made from cow or sheep manure are excellent for ])utting color or finish in the flower. The plants can be assisted greatly by applications of nitrate of soda, nitrate of potash or sulphate of ammonia. My experience with heavy feeding has ren- , dered me very cautious in the use of nitrate of soda, whereas sulphate of ammonin has given the best results'. Why this is, I am unable to state. The chemist. I believe, claims that sulphates must l)e changed into ni- trates before the plants can assimilate them, and it may be that the sulphate of ammoni.a does not work in so di- rect a manner as does nitrate of soda. ])ut T .ilways think it is the much safer fertilizer of the two. Many of our best growers, after studying this question of chemical fer- tilizers, mix their own combinations of chemicals, which experience has taught them may be applied with the greatest benefit to the soil and their local conditions. The Needed Caution and Persistence. The great secret in feeding chry- santhemums ])roperly, is to always give thetn .1 little and never give them any- thing very strong, at any one time. A heavy top-dressing of fresh manure is dangerous on this account, as it is liable to get the bed too wet and de- stroy the tiny root hairs, which are the feeders and convey the nourishment directly to the plant. A light top- dressing of half an inch or so of rot- ten manure is highly beneficial. It brings the roots up to the surface, where they get the benefit of future feeding. It keeps the bed cool and at the same time affords a certain amount of nourishment to the plants. It is to the intelligent and persistent use of chemical fertilizers that our best growers owe all their prize winning flowers. It is practically impossible for any man to tell another grower how, when and where to feed his plants. Local conditiojis vary in al- most every case andthis is the one test where personal experience is bet- ter than all of the literature the grower can lay his hands on, pertaining to this subject. When the Buds Are Forming. The month of September is the month when feeding tells, because the bud is taken and the sap is flowering di- rectly into the bud, producing the future flower. Previous feeding has been used up in growing the plant to its present condition and developing its different parts. From now on there is no more growth made and the stems will begin to thicken from the bud back to the soil. Less moisture, also, will be needed with the advent of cooler weather and a practically com- pleted growth. The plants should not by any means be allowed to suffer, but they do not need nearly the moisture they were getting during the hot months of July and August. This is particularly true of overhead spraying. Once a day now, in most cases, is about all the spraying the plants need, and where the crown bud has burst through its husky covering, forming, as it does. a sort of cup, overhead spraying should be discontinued altogether. It is par- ticularly desirable that the leaves be, at this time, free from spider and thrips on the under side, because when syringing is no longer possible it is simply astounding how rapidly these pests develop and do their mischief, in some cases rendering the flower un- salable. The one thing above all others that the grower should be watchful of, is to see that his plants are clean. The black and green fiy must also be eradicated before the buds show color, as one cannot smoke when the flowers are partially developed. For fumigation there is nothing else so good as tobacco dust, in my estima- tion. It is perfectly safe and does not injure the young, delicate tips of the plants, which is more than can be said of most of the nicotine solutions that are recommended from time to time. Chas. II.

The timi' was, not so many seasons •igo, when the filling of window boxes ;irtor<1ed business only for a few brief weeks in spring. Many florists doubt- less still look upon this feature of the inide as confined to a short season, but tlic fact is that in the larger cities window boxes now are filled all the ye;ir around. It seems that it never is too late in summer to fill the boxes with tender or half hardy plants, and after freezing weather comes the boxes are tilled with boxwoods or other ever- ;;reens, which produce^ an effect iii win- ter as pleasing as is the display in sum- mer. The illustrations show two Chicago liuildings M'hich were fitted out witli window boxes of tender plants late in summer. One of these is the building of the American Kadiator Co., the other lieing the new Blackstone hotel. The average date of first killing frost at • 'hicago is about October 15, but it is likely the stock will survive until a much later date. Tn the meantime, the I'oxes are now at their best, where those 1'Ianted at the beginning of the summer have ceased in many cases to be ob- ieets to delight the eye. The boxes in the windows of the hotel dining rooms were filled with geraniums and ivy by •Tohn Alangel, who has the "flower store" in the hotel. The Radiator '•ompanv's building was supplied by the (ieorge Wittbold Co.

Ileyue, of Dubuque, la.. i<'ii(l Ml the eiglitb aiiiiuiil meotlug of tho Sod • 'ty of Iowa FlorlstK. in l)es Moines, August 31, lliKi. I What can the florists of this state do in civic improvement? First, they can grow attractive greenhouse stock for spring planting and sale. This is gen erally supposed to cover all that the florist need do in the line of civic im- provement. Some will add that they are prepared to plant this stock at the request of the interested buyers, and there stops that proceeding. Others will give a season 's care in addition, and this brings us to the point: How much more can we do in regard to aid- ing in civic improvement? Are we making these plantings pleasing and attractive? Do they stimulate in the neighborhood a desire to do likewise? Would it not increase the florist 's sales, would it not help the florist, if he made the flower bed or window box of his customer so attractive that the custom er's next-door neighbor could not re- sist the temptation of having some boxes — " filled like them"? This would be aiding in civic improvement. Dreary Yards and Vacant City Lots. The florists could also aid those in the desolate districts of the city. Im- agine what a change it would make in a certain street of your city if you gave to several of the residents a few plants, which you knew would endure some neglect and give cheer for most of the summer I By giving them to your cus- tomers to distribute, you could make up for anv strained feeling regarding the recipients' poverty, and your cus tomers would treat ^on with more re- spect and regard. Try giving some sur- plus stock to those willing to help in the distribution. Now let me suggest to ^ ou another way of civic improvement. Mr. Florist. There may be a vacant lot or piece of ground, owned by tlie city or town. This piece of ground has the distinction of being the dumping ground for the neighborhood. Study your customers from this district and take a few into your confidence regarding the fixing up of this plot of ground. Be sure to con- sult with the ladies interested; they will give you valuable aid. The men will also give you a lot of advice, rang ing from assurances of rosy results to prophecies of dismal failure. Give them all a fair chance. Remember, ' * If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Best Materials for the Purpose.

His two-year-old miniatures measured up to the standard, five and a half inches around, last season, and this season they will prove to be fine, thrifty, solid bulbs. The Division of Plant Industry at Washington, D. C, sent an expert across the continent four years ago to inspect Mr. Gibbs' work, take photo- graphs of the beds and report his achievements. The citizens of Bell- ingham. Wash., after seeing the suc- cess of his work, made the offer to the Department of Agriculture to furnish ten acres of land and all buildings re- quired for ten years if the Department would take up the matter of public demonstration bulb gardens, to show just how well the bulbs could be grown in that section of west Washington. This season the second display was on view at these gardens and the work was pronounced a splendid success by the thousands of people who beheld it. Mr. Gibbs estimates that he can grow on an acre of land 9,600,000 one and two-year-old hyacinth bulbs. He plants narcissi at the rate of 325,000 per acre, and tulips at the rate of 250,000 per acre. All narcissi increase fast. He states that all forced bulbs recover in three years and bloom as well as ever in the climate of Washington. He thinks that he can claim, with modesty, that he has "made good" and has introduced a class of plants that Jn years to come will be worth many thousands of dollars to west Washington. But his advanced age and his increasing physical infirmity have now almost disabled him and he is looking for some one to succeed him in the enterprise. STOCKS DO NOT FLOWER. I have a bed of Beauty of Nice stocks, which are nice plants, but they will not bud in the open ground. I had the same trouble last year. The plants are perfect in every other respect. Can vou tell me what the trouble is? C. P. M. Beauty of Nice stocks, if not flower- ing now, will probably not amount to anything. You cannot dig them out, but you might protect the bed with strips of burlap or cheesecloth on cold nights and get some flowers from them a month hence. Ten weeks' stocks are the best for growing outdoors. You iirc absolutely certain of their flower- ing. C. W. PROPAGATION OF STOCKS. Please inform me if ten weeks ' stocks can be propagated by cuttings. I have been told that it could be done, but have never seen it. A. A. F. & S. It would be possible, no doubt, to root cuttings of stocks and quite a number of other annuals. There is, however, no advantage in this method of propa- gation, as cuttings will not by any means equal seedlings in vigor and flo- riferousness. As seed is purchasable of every shade of color and as it can be depended upon to come eighty per cent double and true to color, from any re- liable seed merchant, any other method of propagation is of no practical value. C. W. STOCKS NOT BLOOMING. We planted some stocks about June in the open ground, hero in southeast- 12 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Ski'tk.mbkk ir», 1010. • 'Ill Micliifjan.

Stocks are ditticult plants to move, as it is imjtossible to secure any ball with them. Their roots are not fibrous, like those of asters, which arc easily and safely nntved. It would certainly not pay to transplant them. However, as stocks withstand (|uite a little frost, there may still be a chance of your se- t'uriiiii some flowers from them. If tliey are <;rowiiig fairly close toj<;ether, it woulfl not lie difficult to run some cheesecloth ovi-r them, or t>ven to pro- tect them by standing up any sashes that arc not in use. C. W. PRIMULA FOLIAGE DIES. 1 enclose a leaf of my jtrimulas. I do not know what is the matter with it, whether it is caused by some insect or from sprinklinff the foliage. It seems to me every time the foliage gets wet it has streaks and then dies off. My Hex begonias and some other plants do the same. If 1 cannot syringe the foliage, how am J to dean them of dust, which we iiave so jnuch of here? 1 live in Te.vas. C. L. S. The foliage showed no signs of being attacked by any insects. The leaves of the Chinese primulas are singularly free from insects' attacks. The trouble looks like scalding. Primulas, in com men with Kex begonias, gloxinias, tu- berous-rooted begonias, gesneras, aehim enes and tyda-as, will scald badly if wetted over under glass and then ex- ]tosed to the sun's rays. All the plants named must have shade during hot. bright Aveather; more particularly will this be necessary in your warm state. At this season they will do specially well in coldframes if you keep the sashes tilted up both top and bottom, to allow of a free circulation of air, and, instead of shading the glass, use blinds made of thin laths, rolling these over the glass during bright sunshine. These keep the plants cooler than if white- wash is placed on the glass. Sashes and shades can be removed altogether at night and on didl days.

I'\irity is proving scai<-e this sea- son and many growers are obliged to fall back on refracta alba. There is one form of this with flowers as pure as tho.se of f'urity .and, when well grown, etinally large, but the general run of those sold have considerable yel- low in the centers. In )>lanting freesias we (ind that the long, thin bullts give far better results than the large, thick, heavy ones usu- ally sold. These long bulbs are easily raised b\ sowing tlie small bulblets moderately thickly in flats, not cutting any flowers they carry at all and letting them ripen ofl" gradually on a sunny shelf. Far too many growers, just as .soon as the flowers are cut, stand the pots, pans or flats under the benches, where they will get plenty of drip from the benches and be constantly in a soggy condition. If anyone wants to raise his own bull»s. he must give the plants a chance to properly mature their growth. Lilium Harrisii. Jjilium Harrisii arc now well started and the pots nicely filled with roots. A house where they can have 60 to 65 degrees at night is what fhey need to get .them in flower for (/hristmas. Be careral not to give much water at the root; it is easy to spoil the plants at this early stage of their growth by too much moisture in the soil. Remember that, to be sure of the lilies being on time, the buds should be so that they can be counted by November 10. While the weather is still warm, the solar heat is on the steady decline — quite the opposite from conditions prior to Easter and Memorial day. Fansies. Take advantage of cool, moist weather to transplant the seedling jtansies. Where a few hundreds only are grown, they can be pricked directly into coldframes, but where many thou- sands are to be set out, beds three to four feet wide are better used, placing the jilants four inches apart each way. Where land is plentiful, they can be transplanted in nursery rows suflici- enth' far apart to allow of cultivation. Ground that is on a dead level should never be chosen, as water is liable to cover the plants in winter. Given a gentle slope to throw off water, they will usually winter well. Poinsettias. Continue to fill pans with i»oinsettias before the plants become too much rooted in the pots. The 6-inch, 8-inch and 10-iuch pans are all used, though the S inch is the most generally useful size. In making up the pans it im- proves their appearance to use some small ferns, asparagus or cyperus among the jwinsettias. Grow the plants cool. There is as yet no necessity to run them warm. They need no shade, as this only draws them up and makes them lanky. Careful watering, both now and later in the season, is what these plants require if they are to carry healthy foliage. Keep late rooted cuttings potted off. It is now getting too late to do any further proj) agating. IMants growing in benches are making considerable growth and some stalf^ing will be needed to prevent the grojj^ths becoming bent or twisted. -t'*:^' Stevias. Sfievias ■ JgCraSSld be lifted and potted at once if the stock is in the field. Sum mer culture in pots is preferred, as there is then none of the breakage of shoots that occurs in lifting from the ground. Keep the plants outdoors as late as possible. The least breath of frost will finish them, but anything above freezing is all right. When the Jilants are housed, they should be in the coolest house on the place. Stevia blooms are not wanted while the mum season is on. It is well to figure on getting a good liatch for Christmas. Plants kept cool will flower naturally at that season. Peonies. Scjitcmber is the month jiar excel- lence for j)lanting jteonies. Many parts of the country have suffered from se vere droughts, now luqipily mitigated by fall rains, which put the soil in a much better condition for planting perennial stock t>f all kinds. Peonies, above all other perennials, love a deeply dug and generous soil. Place them three feet apart in the rows, if they are to remain there three or four years; if longer, allow four feet. In dividing the clumps do not cut away all the foliage. It is still green and is better left on until it decays, it is a common error to cut away peony foliage too soon. It is a harmful prac tice. Another injurious habit is to cut the flower stalks down close to the ground in order to get long stems at the blooming period. Have you ever noticed the crippled appearance such plants present the following year? if you have not, mark a few plants, cut some low down and allow the balance to carry about two pairs of leaves each. The contrast between the two lots at blooming time the following year will be so marked that you will never want to sacrifice any more plants for the sake of cutting a few extra long flower stems. Irises. The Germanica, Siberica and Kwmp feri irises are much better when planted in the fall. It is a mistake to leave this work until spring, as when plant ing is ilelayed until then the flower.s are of poor quality the first season. German irises should be replanted once in two or three years, to keep them healthy and blooming vigorously. Uf course they will grow and flower if un divided for a generation, but in new soil they succeed vastly better. The Japanese iris, I. Ka»mpferi, are customarily looked upon as semi- aquatics. It is true they will thrive better if kept flooded while growing and until the blooming season has passed, but after that date, and espe- cially in winter, they must have dry feet or they will rot. The various forms of Iris Siberica do well in either wet or dry ground. I. Siberica Snow Queen naturalizes beautifully on the margins of streams and ponds and is one of the finest of hardy flowers for cutting. All the irises like ground which has been well enriched, and the earlier they are planted the better they will flower next summer. SEPTKMBEn 15, 1910.

(President Hamiuonton Dahlia (irowerx' Association.) HAMMOXTON DAHLIA GROWERS. A dahlia true to name. A dahlia of viKorous growth. .V dahlia with |)erftH.'t flowers. These are the watchwords of the Dahlia Growers' Assoeiatioii of Ham- monton, N. J. The association aims to place the Hammonton dahlia in a class by itself. The idea is that when dahlia flowers or dahlia roots bear the Ham- monton label the purchaser will know that he is getting the finest in the market. Saturday, September 10, was a gala day among the Hammonton growers. .Fust a fortnight after the organization of their association the si.x firms and individual growers met to compare notes and visit each other's farms. They were "William F. "Bassett, J. Mur- ray Hassett, Hugo Kind. Watkis & Xicholson, Kdward H. Wliite and Wood & Healy. Hammonton is a progressive town, with the dahlia farms chiefly on the outskirts, so it was arranged that most of the party meet at William F. Bas- sett's and drive to the farms. Those not in the party were met at their own places. The seat of honor in the car- riage was given to the president, Wil- liam F. Bassett, now in his eighty- sixth year. With him were his sons, George W. Bassett and J. Murray Bas- sett; Hugo Kind, Arthur A. Niessen and Edward H. White. William F. Bassett. who has just re- tired from the management of his Bellevue Nurseries in favor of his son, George W. Bassett. has a splendid se- lection of dahlias, including many hun- dreds of varieties. Great confidence is felt in the beautiful, long-stemmed vari ety known as Dreer's White, a splen- didly built white flower, of great sub- stance, pure white in color. The pink variety, Dei ice, is highly prized as a cut flower. Jeanne Charmet has* all the requisites of a cut flower, save one; the keeping qualities have not yet been proven. It is a beautiful shade of lav- ender pink, an exquisitely formed flow- er, borne on long, stiff stems. G. W. Bassett is hopeful that this variety will jirove its keeping qualities. Susan is the name given a lovely soft pink (perhaps blush pink will describe it better), said to improve under artificial light. J. Murray Bassett has three dahlia farms. The principal one is this sea- son's purchase of ten acres, where most of his dahlias now are grown. Mr. Bassett 's specialty is single dahlias, of whi(di he grows a larger number than any other flammonton grower. Tie has an acre in all of the single vjirieties. among them standard sorts and some attractive novelties. Mr. Bassett has an immense peony-fl(>wered crimson dahlia that is fragrant, which he in- tends using for seed purposes. The new lO-acre farm contains seven acres of tured what Mr. Watkis asserted was a 3-pound bass. Happy growers, witli business and recreation so delightful! Edward H.

John McFarland, of North Easton, has 2,000 poinsettias in 6-inch pots which promise to be ideal plants for Christmas. He is growing some of the double variety, plenissima, which he likes very much, but which is less easy of propagation than the common pul- eherrima. Robert Montgomery has been spend- ing his vacation at his summer cottage in Maine, and is much improved there- by. A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., was a visitor last week. Edward J. Rogean is salesman for Mr. Pierson at the Boston Flower Exchange. Recent soaking rains did considerable damage to the aster crop, white flowers suffering the most. Vegetation has. however, been wonderfully revived. Light frosts were reported from several places on the mornings of September 11 and 12. J. H. Leach & Son, of North Easton, have an extra fine lot of carnations this season, including the most up-to-date varieties. They are growing less asters this season than a year ago. The black beetle proved destructive, but they have an excellent lot of gladioli. At W. W. Edgar & Co.'s, stock is looking first class at present. They have grand lots of poinsettias. Lor- raines, azaleas, metrosideros, small ferns, hydrangeas, genistas and other serviceable stock. New England's greatest fair opens at Brockton October 4. More money is this year given for cut flowers. For vase of fifty roses, $15, $10 and $5 is offered. There are also new classes for vases of twenty-five blooms of each type of dahlia shown with long stems, which should prove a pleasing change from the flat stereotyped style of exhibiting usually in evidence. Henry M. Robinson & Co. are rapidly filling their large new store rooms with seasonable goods. They are receiving quantities of splendid new crop hardy ferns and the cut flower demand is bracing up. N. F. McCarthy's auction sales started up again September 13 and will continue for some weeks. W. N. Craig. TO BIPEN SPBENOEBI SEED. Would you kindly tell us how to ripen Asparagus Sprengeri seed? We have had a piece of a bench in Spren- geri for the last year, and during the summer months it produced strong sprays, which we have allowed to go to seed. The sprays bear heavy clusters of the seed and ramble all over the bed. but the seeds do not ripen, or if they do. they fall off unnoticed. Should the sprays be cut with the green berries on them and dried, or should they be hung up, letting the sun do the rest? How should the watering be conducted at this period of their growth? H. J. P. The seeds of Asparagus Sprengeri would ripen more readily and more evenly if the sprays were supported so that the sun and air could reach them. It would be an eaav matter to run a SEFrEMBEB 16, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review. 15 few wires and strings to which the sprays could be tied, and time would be saved in the period of ripening. Water the plants somewhat less, in order to encourage the ripening of the seeds, but do not keep the ground dust- dry. The seeds may be picked as soon as they turn color. W. H. T. CINCINNATI. The Market. B'usiness now seems steadier and be- fore long it will undoubtedly take on the regular aspect of the busy season. Owing to the recent cool nights, the condition of the blooms seems better. There is still more than enough stock in the market. Eoses are now coming in more heavily and have longer stems than during midsummer. The Beauties still lead in quality, but the others are not far behind. Large numbers of Brides, Maids and Killarneys, in ad- dition to the other roses, arrive daily. Large consignments of asters still come in, especially some choice ones from New York state. Gladioli are becoming inferior in both bloom and stem and soon will be a thing of the past. Easter lilies can be had. Cosmos and dahlias for fall flowers are now strong in numbers. Carnations are offered daily. Judg- ing from reports from the growers, there will be many large cuts of good quality in the market in a short time. Club Meeting. A meeting of the Florists' Society was held at PYank Volz's home, in Cheviot. Bay Murphy, Albert Sunder- bruch and Charles H. Hoffmeister were appointed to serve on a committee to arrange for a place for the bowling club to meet and bowl throughout the winter. New Orleans was endorsed for the world's fair and Panama exposition in 1915. The secretary was instructed to send letters to the congressmen from this vicinity notifying them of the club's choice and asking them to use their votes and influence to favor the Gulf City. It was decided that a paper on some subject of general interest, followed by discussion, should be read at each meet- ing. A question box will also be had. After the business was over, the members sat down to a repast, served in the open air. Then all adjourned to the parlor, where they were entertained with vocal and instrumental selections by Frank and Miss Clara Volz. Mr. Volz proved a royal host. Frank Volz's greenhouses are stocked with chrysanthemums and carnations. In one was a lot of elegant Boston ferns. He also grows callas and bed- ding stock. In addition to these, he and his father have eight large ponds and about thirty small ones stocked with goldfish. Various Notes. On Wednesday, September 14, a Tower of Fruits and Flowers. floral auto parade was held under the auspices of the Sons of Osiris. A visit to J. A. Peterson 's showed his plant to be in tiptop shape. Begonias are his long suit. Among the varieties he has are Glory of Cincinnati, Taft, Agatha, Lorraine and Ensign. He has also large lots of Dracsena Victoria, ter- minalis and Mandiana, Pandanue Veitchii, Nephrolepis Harrisii, Phoenix Eoebelenii and cyclamens. C. E. Critchell is now receiving car- nations regularly; also fine asters from New York. E. G. Gillett's wire department is kept busy keeping up with orders from those who are stocking up for fall and winter. P. J. Olinger is having George Zunkle, with the Maxwell-Briscoe Mo- tor Car Co., superintend the construc- tion of an iron stack 100 feet high, at the greenhouses. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Critchell, C. E. Critchell, Jr., Gus Adrian and Max Ru- dolph have returned from up north. Mr. and Mrs. William H. Gardner and son came down from New Castle last Sunday. Mr. Gardner returned in the evening, while Mrs. Gardner and William H., Jr., will spend a fortnight in this city with her relatives. William Gear and Frank Huntsman are now with William Murphy at The Snows. John Lodder has been in town dur- ing the last fornight, doing the exposi- tion. Mr. Winters, of Charleston, W. Va., was a recent visitor. C. H. H. VOLKSFEST DISPLAYS. One of the big events on Long Island in the autumn is the Schwaben Sanger- bund Volksfest, where floriculture plays a considerable part and where the seed trade gets in touch with thousands of market growers in the Long Island ter- ritory. Middle Village, where there are so many florists, always takes a con- spicuous part and August F. Sehraeder, florist, of Elmhurst, has been superin- tendent of the festival every year for the last fifteen years. This year the event took place at the new Coliseum park, at Eidgewood, L. I. There was the usual column of fruit and flowers. This has been built for many years by Fred Marquardt, of Middle Village, and it is said the cost runs close to $500. In the accompany- ing illustration Mr. Marquardt and his son are shown standing at the left of their tower. Another feature of the exhibition which attracted much attention during the entire week, September 3 to 10, was the miniature garden constructed by John Draier, of Middle Village. It covered 1,000 square feet of space, and for his handiwork Mr. Draier was awarded a special premium of $75. Ee- tail florists will see in the picture a sug- gestion for a window display of large possibilities. In a window decoration it would easily be possible to introduce enough movement to hold a crowd all day long. The water, the train and the windmill could be made to run, and other features could be added.

The l-'lorists' <^'lnl) held its monthly meeting Thursday afternoon, Septem- ber 8, on the grounds of the ]I. J. Weber iV: Sons Nursery Co., at Nursery, Mo. It was a most enthusiastic nuieting and was well attended. The majority of the members, with tlu'ir ladies, met at the south end of the Cherokee car line, whi're large wagons were in wait- ing to take them to the grounds. On arriving they were met by their fellow members, I'rank \. Weber and H. .T. Weber, and other members of the firm. The ladies were taken care of by Mrs. II. .1. Weber and were entertained on I he lawn in front of their home. Tiefore the meeting opened the mem- bers were taken in hand and shown through the well kejit nursery plant. The big greenhouses, in charge of Wal- ter Weber, are in splendid shape. The carnations and roses are in fine condi tion and a great crop is expected from, them. After the insjiection tour, the meet- ing was opened in the big packing house, which was turned into a most convenient meeting room. President Windier opened the meet- ing, with all his stafi' of officers pres- ent. V. J. Fillmore and K. .1. Windier were appointed to take charge of the instjillatioH of officers, and the follow- ing were duly installed: John M. Con- Mon, i)residcnt; Krank .\. Weber, vice- president; .1. .7. rSeneke. secretary; Wm. I'. Smith, treasurir; K. W. (iny, a three- year term trustee. The trustees made their final report of the ))icnic aiiroke. Duchess of Cambridge. .Acquisi- tion, Klla Kramer, Bertha Von Sutton. Mrs. Wirth, Aug. Xonin, John Walker and Empress of Austria. A diploma of commendation was awarded Mr. Win- gett. The same gentleman also exhii) ited a giant melon, Viaux's Perfec- tion, twenty-four pounds in weight, for which he was awarded a first-class cer tificate. This is the first year Mr. Wingett has attempted to grow Per- fection, rightly named for its all-around qualities. One of them from the same bed weighed over thirty-one pounds. George H. Instone, his foreman, deserves a fair share of praise in growing them so successfully. Mr. Jenkins, one of the Bar Harbor judges, reported on his visit there. He spoke higlilv of the show, and of how well the Bar Harbor gardeners had treated him. George Foulsiiam had on view the silver cup presento'l ly W. B. O. Field for the hest collection of twelve vari- eties of vegetables at the fail show. It is to be known as the President's cuii. to be won twice before it can be lifted.

The best indication of a publication 's value to advertisers, aside from the re- turns from the use of space, is the interest the publication holds for its readers: Enclosed is $1 for a year's subscription to The Review.

We wish to know something about the use of creosote, or Carbolinium, in greenhouse material. Will wood for benches, gutters and bars, soaked in creosote, last longer than without it and will the creosote cause injury to the plants inside? B. M. G. C. I would not advise the use of creo- sote in greenhouse material under any circumstances. Although it will un- doubtedly lengthen the life of the tim- ber used in the construction, the gases arising from the volatile oils in the creosote are deadly to plants. Concerns which have tried the experiment have been put to the expense of removing from the house every board which had been so treated, before they could satis- factorily grow carnations or roses. I should expect that lettuce would be as much affected as are carnations and roses. L. C. C. STOPPING LEAKS IN GUTTEES. What is a good way to stop a leak in a three-piece wooden gutter? It leaks at the splice and also at some places where the side pieces are nailed to the bottom piece. The gutter is not old. C. B. There are various ways of stopping leaks in wooden gutters. If there are large openings, it will be well to calk them with oakum which has been dipped in white lead. Small cracks can often be closed by filling them with putty in which about twenty per cent of white lead has beeu worked. In all cases the gutter should be painted while dry. It is often possible, when gutters are decayed at the joints, to repair them by covering the decayed portions with galvanized sheet iron, after stopping the openings as far as possible with putty and paint. THE PEONY-FLOWEE MAEKET. I should like to know the present condition of the wholesale market for the peony flower. Is it fully stocked, or is there chance for a new grower to sell his flowers, next spring, by the thousand lots to flower dealers, or get them sold in such quantities by com- mission merchants? Also, is it likely that the profit per acre accruing to the grower of the flowers would much ex- ceed that from a similar sized crop of tomatoes or potatoes, and if so, what might the excess be? P. 0. This inquiry comes from the south- east, where the crop might reasonably be said to be sure to make the market before Memorial day. That there will be a profitable sale for all stock that reaches the market in prime condition goes without saying, though if the grower does not know his business he may fail to turn a profit. As to how the profit would compare with the profit from the same area devoted to truck crops, perhaps some reader can speak from experience. The space is available for publication of any in- formation on the subject. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. There was a lull in the market the latter part of last week, with prac- tically all the staple lines somewhat in oversupply. Roses were particularly abundant. This week opened with the first taste of fall weather and its effect was early apparent in the market. Sup- plies of stock were considerably re- duced and there was a corresponding increase in the demand, resulting in a busy Monday. Tuesday and Wednes- day almost always show a reduction as compared with Monday's sales, but it is now thought the market has made the turn into the real flower selling season. It is noticeable that the call for stock is no longer so largely for funeral purposes, but that flowers for social activities are called for. The special feature is the waning aster season. It has not been a good .vear for the growers of this flower. Weather conditions delayed the crop, and now the weather is charged with its early passing. The heavy storms are no doubt largely responsible for the condition of much of the stock now coming in. There are extremely few asters which really can be called good, and these few are quickly taken out of the market; usually they are set aside on arrival, for shipment on orders al- ready booked. There is considerable waste of the low grade asters in spite of the scarcity of good stock. The shortening in supply of asters has naturally turned the demand toward carnations and of these there are no heavy receipts. Some excellent long- stemmed flowers are arriving, but the number is so small that they do not suf- fice for the demand. Of short-stemmed stock from indoors, and medium- Sbptembku 15, 1910.

Why is it that the leading retailers in Chicago and other cities look to us for their Beauties ? j We have the regular trade of some of the stores that use Beauties in largest quantity and whose business is most sought. Surely it would not be possible to hold this trade if there were better Beauties to be had, or if there was a more dependable source of supply. Don't conclude that you can't use Beauties, or are satisfied with those you now use, until you have tried our stock. KILLARNEY PINK AND WHITE Killarney and White Killarney will be the big sellers this season and it is to your interest to put us to the test and prove for yourself our claim that our Killarjieys are in a class by themselves. You need these roses — we know you do — and we know you will recognize the fact if you try a few shipments. We are just getting into another heavy crop of both Killarney and White Killarney timed just right for the opening of the fall business. CHRYSANTHEMUMS Mums are ready and we can supply any needs.

A building on Randolph street with 6,000 feet of space on each of five floors is available and looks good, but the landlord insists on the lessee taking the entire building. There is a possibility of some wholesaler tak- ing the lease and sub letting either to other wholesalers or to outsiders the floors he does not need.

Vaughan & Sperry have installed a second telephone. The new instrument is on the selling floor and is reached by the old number, Central 2571. The old instrument, in a booth, has the number 2572 and there now is an extension into the office. The telephone company now arranges such double-phone equipments quite handily by putting a ring around the two numbers on the switchboard at Central; all incoming calls are giyen the smaller number, unless it is btJsy, in which case the other line is given without the party calling having to ask for it. The remodeling of the Flower Grow- ers' Market building has progressed to the point where the old entrance is abandoned and admission is now had by new elevators and stairway on the Kandolph street side. Tim Matchen says growing conditions seem to have just suited Richmond, Peter Reinberg's cut having increased several fold in the last few days. "White Killarney also has made rapid prog- ress.

He is now cutting stock with stems two or three times as long as the recently benched plants are giving. Henry Van Gelder says the Percy Jones business is running double what it did in the first half of September last year. Ben O'Connor is the latest addition to the force of Kyle & Foerster. John Kruchten recently was given a lot by his father, Nick Kruchten, well known as a carnation grower in Bow- manville, and has had plans drawn for a handsome residence, but has concluded to postpone building until spring. 0.

PHILADELPHIA. The Rising Eastern Market. Autnmn has come. The intense heat has given way to typical antumn weather — cool, rather damp nights and warm days; dahlia weather. The showy dahlia, with its rich, many-hned variations, has come in with a rush, sliipments having increased ten- fold. The quality is now fine, the cool nights giving the firmness so necessary to make the flowers satisfactory. The buyers have not yet taken hold of the dahlia in earnest, although several large orders have been reported: one of 10,000 flowers for atlvertising purposes, another of .5,000 for a fall opening decoration. But there is no question that the buyers will take hold as soon as the quality of the stock now coming into the market is know^n. It is safe to say that the average grade of the dahlia flowers has never been higher than today. The growers are awaken- ing to the fact that they must have quantity of a variety to make a mar- ket, and this year they have the quantity. The aster is on tiie wane. There are still lots of good asters, but not so many as a week ago, and a quantity of poor flowers clearly indicates the tail of the crop with many growers. Gladioli are on the back track. Most of the stock now coming into town is from the large gladiolus farms, where, unfortunately, the flowers are cut too tight to attain perfection in eyes that are critical. Carnations are coming up a little more strongly, although, with the ex- ception of a few fancies, there are no carnations that find favor with the leading shops. There is marked improvement in roses this week; that is, in the roses of tliose growers who have success- fully withstood mildew. Maryland and Kaiserin are, of course, least aff'ected, lint Killarnev and her white sister have had a hard time even where the laws of ventilation are thoroughly un- derstood and faithfully observed. Rich- mond has made its appearance with some good flowers for so early in the season. Beauties are excellent. The supply of roses is much larger than a week ago. The demand, too. has in- creased, caring for much of the good stock. Cattleyas have fallen in price, though it is difficult to find out ex- actly why; the supply still seems small; the demand is certainly as good, prob- ably a little better, and it will be further strengthened by price induce ment. Gardenias are selling a trifle better. Easter lilies are in fair de- mand, with the supply a little stronger than a week ago. There is lots of fine valley; it is selling well, but not so well as it is blooming. Sweet peas are over. Greens of the tender varieties are dull. Wild smilax is feeling the effect of the first fall openings. Out- door flowers of the miscellaneous kinds count for less each week, except cos- mos, which is increasing in popular favor.

Sealed orders from over the sea sent The Review correspondent to the north- ern section of the city, where Godfrey Aschmann's place is located. His son, John Aschmann, is in charge, evidently bent on having everything in the best possible condition when his father returns with his big boxes of azaleas from Belgium. The place looked well, the stock in excellent condition and growing nicely. The fern class was represented by four varieties of nephrolepis — the old Bos- Ion, which J. A. believes will be scarce, and so he is prepared to step into the breach with some good, large stock; the dwarfer Scottii and two of the best of the crested varieties, those from Whitman and Scholzol. There are also 5,000 table ferns in eight of the best varieties of pteris. Araucarias are in fine shape; there is also a house of kentias of good size. The balance of the place is filled with the Christmas stock of flowering plants, now rapidly improving. Outside, in the frames, are cyclamens, hydrangeas, solanums, etc., with every inch of space utilized. It seems a safe prophecy to say that when Mr. Aschmann returns in a few weeks, he will find his place in ex- cellent condition. Various Notes. John and William H.

A general sketch and plan was drawn by George McClure, which will be followed ex- actly. The show will be held at Con- vention hall, just before election and will continue about four days. The en- tire hall will be used and the commit- tees will endeavor to make Convention hall one beautiful display. The details will not be made public at present, but the trade in general will be invited at a later date. The usual hearty coopera- tion of the brother florists is hoped for.

A brisk demand for funeral work makes possible a fair report on the business of last week. Outside of this, there was but little doing. A few of the "400" are returning from the summer resorts, but as j-et no large so- cial functions are being planned. The same old complaint is heard from all corners — the truck gardeners are bring- ing in an abundance of home-grown asters, gladioli, etc., which they sell for a mere nothing, and as long as flower lovers can get their bouquets at such prices, just that long will trade remain dull. Carnations are now putting in their appearance again, as some of the grow- ers are cutting from their young stock, but as yet the supply is limited.

NEW ORLEANS. The Market. The dull summer season is gradually coming to an end, and though the majority of the frequenters of the different health and recreation resorts are still absent, many notable func- tions for the winter season are being planned. The French Opera House will open its doors at the end of November, which event is looked forward to with great anticipations, as it means the beginning of the winter's festivities and receptions. During the last four months the florists have been busy getting their big stock of foliage and flowering plants in shape, and all look forward to f\ brisk winter and spring business. A recent visit to several of the larger growers showed that they are all pre- pared to meet any demand with finer plants than ever before at this time of the year. Palms, ferns, dracaenas, crotons and a few varieties of other foliage plants are grown here to per- fection. One florist grows enough cut roses to supply his large store and a good shipping trade besides, while an- other can cut varieties of orchids by the hundreds during the height of the flowering season. Chrysanthemums, indoors and out- doors, which are used by the thousands on All Saints' day, November 1, at the different cemeteries, are in a fine con- dition and, unless the weather becomes unexpectedly unfavorable, the output of flowers for that day will be im- mense. The weather during tlie last llireo weeks has been oxtrcmelv warm. WILLIAM J. SMYTH p LOR I ST ^^'' Michie^an Ave. ^^■^^^MMM and3lstSt.,Ghicaso We ship to all points in Illinois and Iowa.

The bean crop has made rather good progress recently, but there is no chance for other than a bad shortage. Deuveries of peas still are in doubt; every lot gives a different result, but practically all are bad or worse. Harrisii bulbs are cleaning up well, except, perhaps, iii the smaller sizes, the season's crops having turned out Ught. J. C. Vaughax is a candidate for the democratic nomination for congress at today's primary in the second Illinois district. There is danger of frost injury to the sweet corn in the west. The crop is late, little progress has been made in the last week, and every day now counts heavily for or against the crop. The Treasury Department of the United States has declined to accept the recent decision of the Board of General Appraisers involving the question of al- lowance for dirt and other impurities in importations of castor seeds, and has directed that an appeal be taken to the United States Court of Customs Appeals. EiNAR Knutsson, who is in this coun- try representing Hartmann & Co., Copen- hagen seed growers, was a passenger September 8 on the first through passen- ger train on the Long Island railroad to be started out of the great new Penn- sylvania station in New York city. He was on his way to visit the Long Island cauliflower growers, and the circumstance of being one of the first of the public to ride through the new tunnels caused him to be interviewed by the reporters for the New York dailies. GERMAN OBASS SEED BEFOBT. Annually at the end of August Con- rad Appel, whose seed business at Darmstadt, Germany, was established in 1789, issues a report on the grass seed crops.

But these expecta- tions have been diminished by the very unfavorable weather conditions, with continuous rains in June and July. Harvesting of some sorts has been de- layed and the quantity and quality of this season's crops are lessened. Many lots are discolored and dark, containing a good deal of weeds, and are of light weight. Under the cir- cumstances one has to pay special at- tention to the buying and selecting of best qualities." Save for Festuca elatior, F. duriuscula, F. ovina and F. heterophylla and Poa trivialis, the crops thus far secured are reported at least as good as last year, but in many cases first quality seeds will command a pre- mium. Crimson clover is a short crop and the expectations of a large yield of yellow trefoil have been upset by wet weather. Otherwise the clovers promise an average yield in European countries, save that France has little red clover. In that country there is prospect of a good crop of alfalfa. IMPOBTS.

The government September report on crop conditions, issued September 8, shows the largest crop of oats ever raised in this country, next to the larg- est yield of com, and a big yield of spring and winter wheat combined. The oats yield indicated is 1,045,000,- 000 bushels, exceeding the record yield of last year by 38,000,000 bushels. The oats this year are of excellent weight and quality. The corn condition of 78.2, based on reports up to September 1, suggests a .yield of 2,896,000,000 bushels, compared to a crop of 2,772,000,000 bushels as finally estimated a year ago. The larg- est crop of corn ever raised was in 1906 —2,927,000,000 bushels. The government raises its August es- timate of the condition of spring wheat from 61 to 63.1, which indicates a yield of 217,000,000 bushels. This compares with an August, estimate of 211,000,000 bushels, and a final yield a year ago of 290,000,000 bushels. The total yield of hay is estimated at 60,116,000 tons, compared to 64,938,000 tons a year ago. The report, as a whole, gives a pronlise for much larger yields of all the cereals than appeared possible early in the season.

Growth of the Industry. Among the many changes in the art and practice of American agriculture wiiich have developeil within compara- tively iec(!nt years, says \V. AV. Tracy, formerly with 1). ^I. Ferry & Co., in a bulletin of the Department of Agricul- ture, none lias been of greater practi- cal importance than those connected with the growing and handling of seed of garden vegetables. Tiiere has been a nmrvelous increase in the quantity of seed used in tigs country. One of the largest of the nearly l.oOO seed firms now doing business in the United States uses buildings with an aggre- gate floor surface of more than sixteen acres, and more than half of this is ill two adjacent buildings. This space is more than that occupied by the en- tire seed trade of the country only fifty years ago. Not only has there been iui enormous increase in the quantity of seed used, but a great improvement in the quality.

A seed is essentially a plant packed for transportation, and carries within itself the potentialities and lim- itations of development of the plant into which it may grow. With the aid of climate and soil and through the control of cultural conditions man may secure more or less perfect ex- pression of these potentialities, but he can not add to or change them; they were predetermined by the varietal characteristics of the ))roducing plant and its ancestors. In a few exceptional cases such inherent varietal character is more or less clearly indicated by vis- ible peculiarities of the seed, but gen- erally such indications are neither read- ily di.scernible nor reliable, and one can only know . the^arietal character of the plant any given see<>ns this week, and with a little cool LILIUM HARRISII Now Ready to Ship 5 to 7-in., $40. 00 per 1000; 7 to 9-in., $85. 00 per 1000; 9 toll-in,, $190.00 per 10«X) LILIUM rORMOSUM 7 to 9-in., $65.00 per 1000; 9 to 10-in., $90.00 per 1000 Roman Hyacinths.

Hot water or steam ]>ipes and boilers, which wall &ause a drying heat, are bad for mpphrooms. Start any time by saving fresh horse manure daily. If you do not keep horses, probably you can secure it from some livery stable every other day. Throw it up in a heap outside, discard- ing the I'ougher pieces of straw. Turn the heap daily to prevent burning. Add to it one-third as much screened pasture loam as you have manure; this tempers the heat and prevents burning. When the rank heat has sirbsided. make your beds. Spread out a layer of fermenting material and pound or tramp it hard. Then add more, pound- ing again, and so on until the material is nine to ten inches thick. When the heat of the be 1 has subsided to 85 or 90 degrees, put in the spawn, cither Pure Culture or English Milltrack; the former starts earlier, but I like the mushrooms of the latter better. Chop in pieces the size of a walnut, make holes twelve inches apart each way and put in one of the pieces of spawn. Cover lightly with manure, but do not fill in and pound until eight or ten days later, when the mycelium will be running. Cover the bed ten to fourteen days after spawning with two inches of loam; I like that from an old pasture, passed through a 'Ji-inch screen, best. Found this firmly, then cover the bed or bench with hay, straw or excelsior and leave this covering on until mush- rooms appear, which is sometimes as early as three weeks and at other times as long as three months. If at any time the beds appear very dry on the sur- face, water at a temperature of 100 degrees can be a|)plied. Watering can only be looked ujion, however, as a necessary evil. '' In making up mushroom beds the manure must be moist without being mushy. If dry and burnt it is worthless for mushroom production. W^hile it is being prepared, moisten any dry ])or- tions each day when turning. The growing of mushrooms is something of a lottery unless you have just the right growing place for them. They are hard to grow in the hot months unless a cold cellar or underground dug-out of some kind can be had; insect attacks ruin many of the mushrooms in hot weather. Start a bed so that you can spawn late in September and it should give you mushrooms early in November.

Business is unusually active, being far in advance of this date in former years, with funeral work in the lead, thus using up nearly all the short stock. Carnations are almost out of the ques- tion, but a few short flowers are com- ing from the new stock and the plants are j)rogre8sing nicely. Eoses are in good supply and are unusually fine. Asters are abundant, of good quality and often measure seven inches in diameter. There are enough rubrums for decorative purposes. Ferns and green goods are in great demand. Chry- santhemums are now more plentiful, but are hard to move, as they are a little ahead of their usefulness. The first consignments of bulbs have arrived, with others expected soon. In- dications point to an early fall. Various Notes. Herbert & Fleishauer, of MacMinn- ville, Ore., are shipping choice asters to this market, including the Crego va- rieties. Henry Melde, of Eureka, Cal., re- cently spent a few days in this city. Miss M. Armstrong, of Spokane, Wash., was in the city looking over the market and arranging for shipments for the coming season. E. E. C. SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, The Market. We are being treated to a spell of cooler weather and business seems to be on the increase in consequence. Carnations are not yet in abundant supply, but the retailers usually get enough to fill orders. Boses are decid- edly to the bad as far as quality is concerned and buyers have to content themselves with outside stock, such as asters and mums, which, by the way, are as good as we have ever seen. A few early varieties from under glass are shown, but the greater bulk of the stock comes from out of doors. The asters will not last much longer, but they have done remarkably well this season and are deserving of a rest. A visit to the mum growers shows that th? stock is thrifty and promises an abundant crop until the end of the season. Valley is off crop with several of the large growers and is in good de- mand in consequence. The Japanese lilies, owing to the large quantities produced this season, have not sold as well as formerly. The several weeks of hot weather had the effect of bring- ing them into blossom on short notice and the market was soon overstocked. Gladioli and dahlias are not in great demand, although the best flowers sell fairly well. Green goods of all kinds are about as usual. Various Notes. H.

He says that when in Genoa, Italy, he noticed that bamboo was largely used in that way, so he tried it for one of the entrances to the Palace hotel. He reports great success with it, and thinks it one of the best plants for the purpose, as it is suffi- ciently hardy for California's climate JUid becomes .strongly established in tubs or boxes. Speaking of dahlias, Mr. Tymcio claims that tlie Thomson- sold best, with Mrs. Kettlowoll and Kaiser Wilhelm following. He says Jack Rose did not succeed as in east- ern markets, and states that cactus dahlias meet with little approval ex- cept among the street peddlers. NEW BEDFORD, MASS. The Market.

F. & O. H. Convention recently, received the following description: " Nephrolepis Dreyerii has many s:ood points which will render it popular. It makes a quick growth, is compact, of s:ood color, and stands considerable rousfh treatment, adapting itself to almost any condition. It is of the Scottii type, but not as stiff, the fronds drooping g:racefully, giving the plant a very attractive appearance." Ready for delivery after October 1. Price: 2X-inch pots, per 100, $25.00; per 1000^ $200.00. KESSLER BROS., 136-138 W. 28lh St., New York City Grown by G. Dreyer, Bmhurst, Long Island Mention The Review when vou write MAGGOTS ON ASTERS. Can you advise me what to do with my aster beds? They were looking fine until last week, but now they are dying off. On cleaning them I find lots of small white maggots on the stems. E. P. We cannot tell exactly, from your description, what the maggots are. Owing to the hot, dry weather, pests of various kinds are having every oppor- tunity to propagate and do a lot of dam- age. Sometimes in dry weather aphis on the roots causes great injury. For this there is no real remedy, although applications of tobacco water may min- imize it. A better plan is to pull up and burn the plants. The trouble is un- doubtedly at the roots of your asters. Drought may cause some dying off. Out- side of watering, persistent stirring of the soil is the best you can do for your plants. The more you stir the soil, the less will the root maggots or aphis like it and the better will the plants grow. It is surprising how much drought as- ters will stand if they are in good, deep soil, and it is frequently stirred. This may not answer your question, but use the cultivator more freely and see if your plants do not pick up. C. W.

The coal strike is ended, but that doesn't mean that a fuel famine has been averted. Stock up before the car shortage becomes a factor in the situa- tion. Get your sheds full — and keep them full if you can. The coal cars now are nearly all in use. The American Railway Association figures that in the latter half of August 8,662 coal ears previously idle went back into service. Practically all the sur- plus cars then were in the west, where mines still were idle, there being already actually a shortage in the east. COAL STRIKE ENDED. The Illinois coal strike ia ended. It is estimated that over TO,000 miners were idle from April 1 to Sep- tember 9, that 900 mines, great and small, were affected and that close to 20,000,000 tons of coal was cut out of this season 's supply. Although some of the men went back to work the day after the peace pact was signed, it will require several weeks to get all the mines into shape to produce to full capacity — and by then the car shortage will affect de- liveries. Under the terms of the settlement the miners get everything they asked for. Under the new wage scale they get an average increase of pay of 8 cents per ton. Included in this is the payment of shot firers' wages by the operators and raises in days' wages for all classes of mine help. Also, the operators are required to provide cer- tain safety appliances and to observe precautions which it is expected will raise the cost of mining another 2 or 3 cents per ton. The agreement runs to April 1, 1912. As a result of the settlement it is expected that the market prices of coal will rule about 10 cents per ton higher HARRISBUR6=FRANKL1N COAL CO. 1216 Fisher Building, CHICAGO The Better Grades ONLY of INDIANA AND ILLINOIS COALS Preparation and quality as they should be.

GAS OR COAL FOR FUEL. Please tell us whether gas at 27 cents per thousand feet, for use in a hot water boiler, would be much more expensive than soft coal at $3 per ton. Would the gas be injurious to green- house plants? We use about eight tons of coal per month. Our place is in the western part of New York state. G. B. The relative economy of gas at 27 cents per thousand feet and soft coal at $3 per ton would depend quite largely upon the quality of the two classes of fuel. Ordinarily, however, although the actual expense for the coal might be somewhat less than when HIGH GRADE STEAN COAL The best products of West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Write for prices. Covey-Durham Coal Co. Bedford Building, CHICAQO gas is used, if even a small allowancf is made for the labor of caring for the fire and removing the ashes the gas will be found the cheaper. Gas is quite injurious to plants and should never be allowed to enter the greenhouse proper. Care should be taken to have the boiler room carefully shut off from the greenhouse.

I'lie effect of increasiii^; the lieight of the expansion tank is to raise the tem- perature at wliic'h the water in the heater will boil. This makes it possible to increase the amount of heat which can be obtained for a given amount of radiation, but if there is no trouble from the boiling over of the tank, in its present location, and if the amount of radiation is suilicient to maintain the temperature desired in the severest weather, nothing would be gained by giving the tank a greater elevation. PIPING IN PENNSYLVANIA. lMeas<' give nie some instructions aliont the piping of my greenhouse. It is :2].\72 and eleven feet high. It is built alongside my old house, with .in .11 -inch gutter lietween them. On the other side there will be thi'ee feet of gl.Mss. J intend to use a .S-inch flow Mud twelve 2-inch returns. Would that he enough or slunild the flow )»e larger? The old house has a M-incli flow and fifteen IVj-inch returns. 1 want n night temperature of 't'2 to .">.■) degrees ill zci'o weather. Wliat radiation xhcnild the boiler have for the two houses, each 21x72x11 f<. 8. There should be no ditticulty in main- taining a temperature suitable for car- nations with a .'i-inch flow and twelve 2 inch returns, but it will be found more satisfactory if three 2Vo-inch flows and nine 2-inch returns are used. To heat two houses 21x72x11 feet, the lioiler should be rated for heating 1.60(1 sipiare feet of radiating surface. IN THE CANADIAN NORTHWEST. IMeasc state the best method of heat- ing the following houses with hot water, in the Canadian northwest. The liouses will be used for carnations. The temperature outside is occasionally 4") degrees below zero. There are two liouses, on the ridge and furrow plan, running east and west. Each house is 21\5!ixlUl), of King construction, with five feet of glass in the sides and two feet of boards. The height to the gutter is seven feet; to the ridge, thir- teen feet. The situation is rather ex liosed. The floor of the boiler room is six feet below the level of the gi*een- liouse floor. 1 should like to use 4-inch or .'Much flows, as we have :i quantity of The^e; 2-incli rrtiiins would be 7>n'ferred. A. M. While the heating of the house un- der the conditions outlined will require .1 large amount of radiation, it is quite certain that by using three '3-inch flow pipes and eighteen 2-inch returns it will be ;m easy matter to maintain the temperature desired. If the end of the house is exposed, the coils shoald ex- tend around the end as well as along the side walls. THE DIVIDED SEQION BOILOS gapskers;' Easy to Set Up. Easr to Operate.

Last week was the first week of the fall season, but, contrary to the usual run of work at this time, which is gen- erally for wedding decorations and a revival of other social events, we ex- perienced an unusual lot of funeral work, which has kept the retailers busy for some time past. This kept valley well cleaned up and at times the supply was inadequate. Beauties sold best on the first and last days of the week, and the supply of roses was fully up to the demand. Asters and gladioli did not fare so well, especially the for- mer, due, no doubt, to the inferior quality; while any amount of them are coming in daily, it is a rather diflBcult task to fill many orders calling for really good stock. Smilax is none too plentiful, but there is enough other green goods to help out. Various Notes. George Loeffler, a Milwaukee lad who received his training in this city and then spent several years as journey- man, opened a flower store at 1337 Wal- nut street Wednesday, September 7. He is an active young man and ought to make good. Charles Menger, who has built up a large retail trade at 526 Twenty-seventh street, found that in order to keep pace he had to add more glass. He is busy these days putting the finishing touches to a house, 20x40 feet, which is to be utilized for decorative stock exclus- ively. In talking about the prospects for exhibition and commercial Beauties and other roses for the coming season, H. V. Hunkel, of the Holton & Hunkel Co., says it looks as though we will strike it just right. W. A. Kennedy, of the C. C.

The hot weatlier is evidently over for the season, and with it has departed the usual summer dullness in the flo- rists' trade. The summer business this year, however, has been comparatively good and the prospects for fall and winter are unusually bright. Carnation planting is about com- pleted and some flowers of the new crop are bfing cut. Stock generally is looking healthy and vigorous. Various Notes. Houses and heating plants are being overhauled and put in shape for the coming winter. Considerable improve- ments are in urogress and others are contemplated. W. \V. King will soon occupy a fine new store on the site of his old one. One of the most -notable features of the year in Utah is the extensive in- crease in the planting of roses. The Salt Lake Floral Co., which has been growing fine roses here for a number of years, has nearly doubled its plant- ing this season. Each of the following firms has also added one house of roses: C. E. Cramer, the Rieben Floral Co. and Thomas Hobday, all of this city; Robert Miller, of Farmington; Altman Bros., of Ogden. This shows some faith in the future, considering that many in this vicinity have previously tried to produce tho queen of flowers and have failed. To justify this faith, there are now some nice young roses on the market and more coming. Wasatch. r ^ Greenhouse Glass Best Qnality, lowest prices.

There Is much in tlie kno^7- ingr ho^7! Every pound of our putty is put through a machiue that not only mixes it and keeps on mixing it till it is thoroughly mixed, but all lumps are ground to powder by a heavy steel roller. The result is, this putty has a smoothness and a sticking power impossi- ble with otlinr putties. The old tub and paddle mixers used to talk of the number of hundred pounds thoy made in a year, but our machiae men's lan- guage is In tons.

The casket cover may be considered iis the king of floral designs. It is among funeral flowers what the bride's shower bouquet is among flowers for j)ersonal adornment. Not only does it represent an outlay of money greater than can with the best of taste be put into any other form of design, but it makes a call upon the skill of the de- signer beyond that made by any ordi- nary funeral piece. Customarily the (basket cover is just what its name im- plies; it is just a blanket of flowers, ;ind nothing more. But in the accom- panying illustration a casket cover of unusual character is shown; it com- bines with the blanket feature all the characteristics of a made-up design, and a society emblem at that. This casket cover was made by Charles P. Mueller, of Wichita, Kan., for the fu- neral of Thomas Wentworth Harrison, a thirty-third degree Mason, who at the time of his death was sovereign grand inspector general for the state of Kansas. While the design serves in overy way the purposes of a casket cover, it also embodies the Masonic in- signia in most pleasing fashion. AUTOMOBILE DELIVERY. John V. Laver, who operates the Lakeside Greenhouses, on East Sixth street at Erie, Pa., with a retail store downtown, finds the cost of delivery by automobile to be about equal to the cost of horse delivery, but the auto has the advantage of greater speed and also an advertising value. The illustration on page 8 shows the three vehicles, two horse-drawn and one auto, Mr. Laver employs in his bus- iness, and also his pleasure car. Both the automobiles are Buicks. The deliv- ery car is the regular commercial ve- hicle turned out by the Buick concern. The regular machine has a paneled box, as shown in the picture, and no top; the top was built on the box specially for Mr. Laver 's order. It is a twenty- two horse-power machine, capable of carrying 1,200 to 1,500 pounds. The engine is under the seat and out of the way, giving a good, roomy box. The distance from the back of the seat to the tail gate is seventy-four inches and the box is forty-five inches wide, with a height of fifty-six inches. The cost of the car was $1,400 and Mr. Laver, who has used it since last spring, considers it a good investment. COST OF AUTO DELIVERY. One of the principal items of cost in the operation of automobiles is the charge for depreciation; you buy a motor for, say, $2,000 and in three years it is not worth over $500 if you try to turn it into real money. Florists who are thinking of buying motor cars for delivery purposes should take into con- sideration that the depreciation in value is likely to be exceedingly rapid in the next few years because the trend of the motor business is such that falling prices are looked for. Automobile man- ufacturers and sellers are predicting de- creases in production for 1911. The reasons stated include the fact that indicated production would compare as follows with production during the last fifteen years: Cars built. Value. 1011 177.000 1232,000,000 1910 185,000 242,000,000 i009 82,000 98,400,000 1908 55,400 83,100,000 1904 20,1()0 40,200,000 1899 600 1,200,000 1805 70 157,500 Of these totals the majority are pleas- ure cars, but the number used for com- mercial purposes is constantly growing, and it is here that the future of the automobile industry seems to lie. Most manufacturers apparently realize this and are endeavoring to turn out a serv- iceable and economical truck at a rea- sonable price, and say that as far as operating expenses are concerned the auto truck is far cheaper than the horse- drawn dray. A Casket Cover Out of the Ordinaryr. many of the manufacturing companies overstocked for 1910. It is stated that one of the less expensive cars which has been popular is now being sold at $200 below the list price as a "used car" after being run around a block or two, to all effect as new as if just made. From present indications the com- ing season will show a curtailment of around 8,000 cars, at an aggregate value of $10,000,000. Taking the aver- age estimate of production for 1910. A year or two ago if a florist wanted to get a motor for delivery purposes, he had to pay a premium to get some one to build a top on a stock chassis; the manufacturers all were too bUsy building pleasure vehicles to pay any attention to anything but keeping up with the demand. It isn't so now, and prices are pretty sure to come down all along the line, adding to the deprecia- tion charge against every auto in use.

V,-diii'. .■ Mrs. Alfred F. Conard, the beauti- ful pink canna introduced this year, is a distinct improvement on anything Mr. Wintzer has done so far. His aim for years has been to produce a pink canna of the shade of the La France rose, and in Mrs. Conard this has been ac- complished. There are a number of pinks in the field of seedlings that bid fair to equal and possibly surpass the standard bearer. Another year will show. Another pink variety, a seed- ling of two years ago, was of such un- usual merit that only a touch of lav- ender in the pink prevented its selec- tion in place of Mrs. Conard. The dwarf canna is receiving especiai attention. There are a half dozen seed- lings or more that are not over twelve or fifteen inches high; perfectly healthy, vigorous, foliage well devel- oped, flowers large and showy. This type Mr. Wintzer is trying to develop, believing that it has a great future for flowering in pots and for borders, or even for solid beds. The seedlings Delivery Outfits of John V. Laver, Erie» Pa. lings on trial this season. Of these fully 300 have been marked for further trial. His efforts in securing promising varieties are more than usually success- ful; the experience of seventeen years, aided by a favorable season, has pro- duced splendid results. A flower that would have been considered an improve- ment ten years ago was scarcely no- ticed now; size, substance, color, form, foliage, each and all must be better than in some existing variety or the claimant is discarded. With such won- derful skill has Mr. Wintzer 's hybi:idiz- | of the dwarf type were some bronze, some green in foliage; one, a pink flower, had an immense truss suggest- ing great possibilities. Another interesting feature in the canna trials is the importation of seed from the wild canna from Costa Eica in Central America. These eannas are mostly green-leaved (a few are bronze), with tiny red or yellow flowers. Their foliage was lancelike, in marked con- trast to the broad, drooping foliage of our highly cultivated varieties. Mr. Wintzer 's idea in experimenting with the wild eannas is that the introduc- tion of new blood may produce greater improvements, certainly greater varia- tions. ■ The improvement of late has been almost entirely conflned to the gladio- lus-flowered type. The sterility of the orchid-flowering class is a bar to their development. Of the 3,000 seedlings this year, only one is orchid-flowered. Had the results been proportionate to the endeavor, there would have been at least 500 of these orchid-flowering sorts. It is a question whether the world of flowers is a loser thereby, the gladiolus-flowered varieties being so much more desirable in every way than the orchid-flowering class, though per- haps this may be a question ofi(,taste. When it ia, fjonsidered that the stand- ard of the gladiolus-flowered type to- day is a canna that will bear three or four flowers erect on long, stiff stems, each truss to be compact, with flower two inches in diameter, color clear and bright (anything that fades or is washy will not pass), foliage broad, luxuriant, it is pretty hard to get an orchid-flowering variety, with its tall, rather lanky growth, that will compare favorably for nine out of ten positions for which eannas are re- quired. A list of Mr. Wintaer's productions includes many of the best varieties in all the large collections. Besides the whites and pinks, he has produced some peerless reds. His efforts this season will be to produce a yellow that will distance his standard bearer, Buttercup. The thought that time is the greatest bar to complete success is met by the plan of indoor cultivation in order to secure seed of certain choice breeds each six months rather than each year, with the belief that vigor would not thereby be impaired. A farewell glance over the long rows of standard varieties, showing their vigor of growth and brilliancy of color unimpaired, showing, too, clearly, the improvement of each five years, some- times of each year, was a sight that will not fade in memory. Phil. FBEESIAS FOB THE MABEET. Please give us some information on the growing of freesias for the market, stating how long to grow them from the bulb, how to handle them, the need- ed temperature and the best variety to force. R. A. W. The earliest lot of freesias may be had in bloom for Christmas if placed in pans or flats as soon as the bulbs arrive, usually the first week in August. By securing and planting bulbs now, you can have them in flower by the end of January or you can easily hold them back a month later in a cold house. Flats should contain four inches of soil, and one 24x12x4 will hold sixty to sev- enty-five bulbs, according to their size. They grow finely in pots and pans. An 8-inch pan will hold twelve to fifteen bulbs and a 10-inch one twenty bulbs. A suitable compost is one-half fibrous loam, one-fourth well rotted and pulver- ized cow manure and one-fourth leaf- mold, not too much decayed, adding a good dash of sharp sand and a little soot. After putting in the soil, water well, place in a coldframe and cover with board shutters until growths ap- pear; then gradually give full light. The bulbs will start in about two weeks. Seftembsb 22, 1010. The Weekly Florists^ Review* Iris Germanica Mqie. Chereau, One of the Best Varieties in its Class. Keep in a frame until the end of Sep- tember; then place on a sunny bench or, in the case of flats, on a shelf. A car- nation house temperature is suitable, 50 to 54 degrees being as warm as it is advisable to keep them. A higher tem- perature will give flowers lacking in substance. Later batches can be grown 10 degrees cooler, and a succession from Christmas until the end of March may be had. The finest of all freesias is Fischer's Purity. Bulbs of this splendid sort are this season scarce, and almost unpur- chasable. The next best variety is re- fracta alba, which, when well grown, almost equals Purity in size, but is not so pure a white, C. W. IBIS MME. CHEBEAU. There is an extremely large list of the so-called German irises, which are not Iris Germanica at aJl, but hybrids of various species. Naturally they vary much in height, time of flowering, size of blooms, color, etc. They may be had in almost endless variety, but most of the dealers have cut down their lists to a dozen or two, selecting more or less ac- cording to personal tastes. There is, however, one variety which appears in practically every list. This is Mme. Che- reau, a hybrid of I. aphylla. This is the tallest grower of all the worth-while sorts and the blooms are among the largest. Standards and falls both are white, ele- gantly penciled with violet, the edges being quite dark blue, giving the bloom a most striking appearance. The fra- grance is no more than slight, and it is the only thing in which this flower Wcks. The use of the so-called German irises is steadily increasing, for they are abso- lutely hardy, as beautiful in form, tex- ture and coloring as an orchid and many are delightfully fragrant. They are not particular as to soil. It is an old fal- lacy that irises require a marshy or moist situation; exactly the opposite is true. They will grow anywhere that any plant will thrive, but they do best in well drained situations. The earliest sorts bloom in May, the later ones in June, the flowering, and planting, time being coin- cident with that of the peony. GBEEN FLY ON VIOLETS. I am forwarding under separate cover some leaves and a small plant of a double English violet. I never have had any trouble with them until this year, but I think I shall lose one-half of my crop by this disease. I shoul I like to have a remedy, if you can tell me about one. I have plants that would take a 6-inch pot, but the one I send you is among the poorest. Some of them die. C. P. M. The violet leaves received were cov- ered with green aphis. This, in itself, is suflicient to account for their poor condition. As they are so badly af- fected, it will pay you to dip the foliage in a pail or tub of tobacco ex- tract before housing them. The nico- tine will not damage the leaves if you mix it according to the directions on the cans in which you purchase it. You must also fumigate once a week after planting them inside, in order to keep them clean. You will find some of the nicotine, papers safe and inexpensive. Where the foliage dies off entirely and the plants are sickly, it will not pay you to move them. C. W. GOV. HEBBICK VIOLET, I saw a note in The Review for August 11 on Gov. Herrick violet that does not do the variety justice. The Herrick violet should be planted early and given a night temperature of 50 degrees instead of 40 degrees, with plenty water, as it is a swamp violet by nature. If it is set late and run cold the flowers will be short-stemmed, without fragrance and few in number. I have 2,000 plants in the house and am picking good flowers with 4-inch stems. I expect them to bloom till May, which no other violet will do. I picked last season 150,000 flowers from 1,500 plants. Does that look as though it does not bloom in the winter? V. Rice.

I took my cuttings in October last year, but they got almost too tall by Decoration day. What is the best mixture for pot- ting geraniums? C. tJ. October is a good month in which to take cuttings. The loss from damp- ing off will be much less than if they were inserted in August or September, the colder nights helping to harden the wood. All leaves should be cut off, except the small ones at the top of each cutting. If you leave them on, it will simply mean endless trouble picking them off in a decaying condi- tion. Cuttings put in during October will make excellent plants for Memo- rial day. The reason your plants got 80 tall was probably because you neg- lected topping them. About all the cuttings put in at this season should give a good cutting in January or early February, which can be rooted in gen- tle heat in a 2-inch pot of sandy loam and later shifted to a 3-inch pot, in which it will bloom for Memorial day. The fall cuttings should be flowered in 4-inch pots. Avoid using much animal manure in the compost for geraniums. Any added to the loam should be thoroughly de- cayed, so that it will crumble through the hands. A mixture of three-fourths loam, one-fourth old manure and a 4- inch pot of fine bone to each wheel- barrow load of soil makes a suitable potting medium for the final shift. A little sand should also be added. The cuttings will root well either in flats or benches of clean, sharp sand, or in 2-inch pots of sandy loam. Keep mod- erately moist until rooted, then much drier until potted on. The dryness causes the cuttings to make a mass of fibrous roots. C. W. plant now stands, three years ago, and has since yielded an income of fully $150. The plant is seven feet high and four feet in width, although it has been cut back three times on account of close quarters. There have been 275 cuttings propagated and sold from this plant this season and at the time the picture was made there were 125 cuttings in sand. At one time this year the plant carried fifty blooms and many plants have been sold from it at from 5 to 50 cents each. The Review will be glad to hear from any florist who can beat this record with any one geranium plant grown under glass. DRAINING A GARDEN. I should like to get your advice with regard to the land where I intend to plant my perennials. This is a new place and the recent rains show me that the beds are not well drained. I understand there are tiles running through the land every flfty feet, but the beds are cut out of the solid clay and so hold the water. The piece of land is 75x150 feet, with a 4-foot walk all around, one walk through the center lengthwise and three the short way, thus cutting the whole tract into eight squares, with four beds in each square. The walks are well made, containing about one foot of cinders, with two inches of dressing on top. This does not seem to be a choice place for perennials in its present state. I thought I might run two tiles lengthwise, with a branch arm into each bed, or that I might cut through the sod, which is only eighteen inches wide from the walks to the beds; that is, I might cut a trench about one foot wide through the sod into each bed, put a lit'tle cinders there and replace the sod, and so let the walks drain the beds. Dx) you think either of those plans all right, or can you 8ugG;est something better? B. P. The roots of about all our common field crops, and also many perennial flowering plants, penetrate much deoper than we have any idea of, if the soil conditions are to their liking. Drain- age deepens the available soil. The roots of plants will not live in that part below the water line. If drains are placed two feet deep, the soil to that depth is warmed and has more perfect aeration. If the drains are placed three to four feet deep, it will be even better, as, even when the lower soil is less rich in plant food than the upper portion, roots will penetrate it if it is well drained. In droughty seasons crops thrive better on drained land, as the water level is lowered and the roots can thus reach greater depths and re- tain moisture more effectually. In clayey soil such as you have, the drainage afforded by 12-inch paths is JEAN VIAUD GERANIUM.

If you want the best results and are willing to go to the necessary expense, you should lay lines of tiles every twenty feet lengthwise or crosswise of the garden, according to how the slope is. These tiles should not be less than three feet below the surface and should have the necessary slope. A depth of four feet would be even better, for the deeper your drains, the greater the depth of warmed, well- aired and sweetened soil you will have for the roots of your plants. If you reduce the depth, it will be impossible for your plants to do so well, especially in dry weather. Two-inch tiles will answer, and it is better to connect these all in one main. If 4-inch tiles are used for the main, one of this size will carry five times as much water as the 2-inch; a 5-ineh main will carry seven and one-half times as much. Avoid all sharp curves. While a fall of three to six inches in 100 feet will answer if the tiles are carefully laid, twelve inches will be better. One main outlet is better than a large number, as it is easily marked and kept free of obstructions. A good plan would be to lay seven lines of 6-edged or 8-edged 2-inch tiles lengthwise and let them enter a 4-inch main. This would drain your garden thoroughly; but do not lay the tiles nearer the surface than three feet, and a foot deeper will be still better. This may seem like a big job at the outset, but it will pay you in the long run. A popular misconception is that water runs down from above into drains. The exact opposite is the case, as it is forced up from below. The joints should be laid as closely as possible, in order to keep out dirt. If the tiles are below the reach of frost, damage is unlikely. Use tiles which have been hard-burned. Bound ones will answer just as well as 6-sided or S-sided ones, if carefully laid. C. W.

The larger the block of houses is, the larger the proportion of time consumed going in and out. The concrete walks and the tracks and the cars have paid for them- selves many times over.

The Dutch bulbs arc now arriving and if the soil for these has not been prepared, got a good pile ready now. Two-thirds well decayed, turfy loam, one-third well decayed cow manure and sufficient sharp sand for porosity will answer well. If no cow manure can be had, old, well rotted hotbed manura may be used to good advantage. It is better not to use any bone or chemical fertilizers in the potting compost. Some growers mix in some leaf-mold and this is a good plan where soils are natu- rally stiif and heavy. In light soils, however, it is better left out. Chop the loam down thoroughly and after mixing throw it up in a compost heap, where it is much easier to throw off heavy rains than when spread thinly over a larger surface. Show Felargoniums. Pelargoniums, which were rested on their sides for some weeks, pruned back and kept well syringed but rather dry at the root, will now have broken away freely and should be shaken out and repotted, using pots as small as the roots can be conveniently gotten into. The longest roots can be pruned back. Water carefully until the roots find their way around the sides of the pots. It is an easy matter to rot the plants after repotting. They are better kept under glass, at least for a time. If necessary, they can be kept in a cold- frame until November, when the ma- jority of the mums are out of the way. Cyclamens. The earliest cyclamen plants now have quantities of flower buds show- ing; here and there a flower is already open. These should be picked off. The earliest date when cyclamens are sal- able is Thanksgiving, but sales at Christmas are generally the best. Grow the plants cool and airy, and as the sun's rays are now steadily on the decline, reduce the shading. Where blinds are used, they can now be dis- pensed with, except for three or four hours in the middle of bright days. Look over the plants every few days. Throw away any sickly ones. Scratch over the surface soil. Eemove any bad foliage and weeds. Spray the plants once a day, but do it sufficiently early 60 that they will be dry before night- fall. Toward the end of the present month place the earliest plants on a bench in a house kept at 48 to 50 de- grees at night. A shelf in a carnation house will also do nicely. These plants will be in fine shape for Christmas. The present is the correct time to make a liberal sowing of seed. Do not purchase anything cheap; the best strains are always the cheapest in the long run. As a general rule, red is the greatest seller at Christmas; pink also moves well. Pure white is indis- pensable and sells almost any time. The dark maroon and purplish shades no one wants at any price. A compost of one-half well decayed loam and one- half leaf-mold, with plenty of sand added, makes a suitable soil in which to sow cyclamen seed. Pans or flats can be used. These should be well drained. Make the surface soil smooth. Scatter the seeds as evenly over it as possible. Then, with a smooth piece of board, press the soil to make it quite level. Dust a little covering of fine soil over this from a screen and, after watering, place in a warm, moist house, keeping the soil covered with paper until the little seedlings appear. Brief Reminders. As tuberous begonias, gloxinias and achimenes pass out of flower, place them in a frame with glass protection and do not discontinue watering at once, nor throw them on their sides under the benches to rest and be eaten by vermin, as is too often done. Fumigation of all houses once a week will keep aphides in check. Do not wait until you see your plants alive with them. To thoroughly ripen the wood on the early pot grown rambler roses, reduce the water supply, keeping the plants in the fullest sunshine. Look over the smilax beds regularly and do not neglect the strings. A few days' delay will cause endless labor disentangling the shoots. While dahlias are still in good bloom, look over them and see that all are correctly named. Look over collections at your local fairs and make a note of desirable kinds to purchase for an- other season. Cinerarias and calceolarias want no fire heat for some time yet. Keep them in a coldframe, shaded from strong sunlight, and do not allow them to become potbound. Reduce the shading in the houses. Outside of palms, some tropical plants and ferns, the bulk of plants now need full sunshine. This is a good season to attend to any outside painting and glazing. The work can be more comfortably done now than during the hot summer months. Keep seedling biennials and peren- nials weeded and constantly cultivated, to keep them growing well. The nights are getting a little cool for poinsettias in frames or unheated houses. A little warmth in the pipes at night only is needed. Avoid much heat until the bracts show. Keep primulas spaced apart frequent- ly, especially the Chinese section. Pick off anj' flowers showing thus early. Stake pot chrysanthemums, which have grown in bush form, now that the buds are set. The less conspicuous these supports are, the better. Lift and pot a batch of Coreopsis grandiflora. These will prove useful in late winter and early spring. BOSTON. Census Count Is 670,585. While there is as yet no great activ- ity in cut flower circles, the demand is slowly improving, and the dullness, which has prevailed for some time, is gradually passing, for which growers and salesmen are devoutly grateful. Roses are quite scarce and have ad- vanced in price. Quite a few show con- siderable mildew on the foliage, but others are of good quality. The sum- mer varieties, Carnot and Kaiserin, are less in evidence. More Killarneys are coming in. Richmond as yet is poor. Bride and Maid are fewer. Such Beau- ties as arrive meet with a fairly steady sale. Carnations, while more plentiful, do not as yet cut much figure, the flowers being small and the stems short. The chrysanthemums seen are chiefly Golden Glow, which make $1J30 to $2 per dozen. A few single violets have already appeared. Dahlias are selling well, although the quality leaves much to be desired. Asters are less abundant and no fur- ther glut of these is now likely. Gla- dioli are getting smaller, but make fairly good prices, the best selling at $4 to $6 per hundred. Lily of the valley is scarce and higher in price. There is an adequate supply of lilies. There are plenty of cornflowers at 50 cents per hundred; also cosmos and other outdoor subjects. Gardenias are not plentiful, but the demand is light. Cattleyas are much more plentiful, especially Cattleya labiata. Vanda caerulea, Dendrobium Phalaenopsis and other sorts are also seen. A slight improvement is notice- able in sales of asparagus and adian. tum. The demand for ferns, palms and other foliage plants is picking up. All the stores are stocking them heavily at present. * New England Dahlia Society. The third annual exhibition of the New England Dahlia Society was held in Horticultural hall, September 16 to 18, and proved a fine one, the exhibits entirely filling the main hall and loggia. The show was surprisingly good, in view of the fact that no money prizes what- ever were awarded, blue, red and white ribbons taking their place. The quality of flowers shown has never been sur- passed here, and their arrangement was excellent. It was pleasing to see so many entries in the class for vases of eighteen blooms in distinct shades of colors on long stems, of all the various types, the cactus, decorative and pom- pon showing up particularly well. The cactus varieties, as usual, brought out fine entries. The awards were as follows: Forty-eight blooms In distinct varieties, J. P. Bodge, first; W. D. Hathaway, second; Llnd- vall & Delury, third. Twenty-four varieties, W. D. Hathaway, first; J. P. Bodge, second; N. A. Lindsay, third. Twelve varieties, W. D. Hathaway, first; E. W. Ela, second; N. A. Lindsay, third. One hundred cactus, for which the Newport Horticultural Society offered a silver medal. George H. Walker won with a beautiful lot of blooms. Particularly noticeable In his collection were: Snow Queen, California Beauty, Mercury, VarlBbllls, Furst Puckler, Clara, Dlavolo, Heine Amelia, Master Carl, Golden Glory, Mr. Keith, Marguerite Bouchon, Rev. A. Bridge and Elsie. Twenty-four varieties decorative, A. E. John- son, first; W. D. Hathaway, second. Twelve decorative, J. P. Bodge, first; W. F. Hall, second; E. W.. Ela, third.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 18 Alexander, E. W. Ela, N. A. Lindsay, Mrs. L. M. Towle and others. There were also excellent entries in the classes for singles and peony-flowered varieties. J. K. Alexander showed strongly in the classes for eighteen cactus in separate colors, taking first for yellow, white and pink, and second for red.. He had an extensive table finely arranged with all types, many being on long stems. Lind- vall & Delury, of Dorchester, were also successful contestants in these classes, capturing, among other prizes, first for eighteen show, eighteen white show, eighteen white decorative, eighteen pink decorative, six peony-flowered, and second for eighteen pink cactus. George B. Gill, of Medford, showed some of the finest blooms in the hall, his vase of mammoth Souvenir de Gus- tavo Doazon being the best ever staged in Boston. Mr. Gill, who is a son of the veteran, Mrs. E. M. Gill, captured first for eighteen red cactus with a fine seedling named in honor of his mother, a variety which will be heard from; also first for eighteen red decorative, eighteen all types mixed, and second for the largest bloom of a show dahlia, A. E, Johnson taking first in the latter class. Mr. Johnson's new pink seed- ling, Mrs. Alice Longworth, took every- one's eye. Edgar W. Ela, in the loggia, had a large exhibit in 150 varieties to show the decorative value of dahlias, a num- ber of designs being well worked out. A mound of the soft rose Jeanne Charmet and another of Souvenir de Gustave Doazon were taking. The Fottler, Fiske, Eawson Co. had an extensive exhibit from its Marblehead farm. The single flowers were displayed on white collars. While this shows up the individual flower well, its formality is too severe to warrant its extended use at shows. One large table was devoted to deco- rative. Among these we noted as being particularly fine Snowdon, Wolfgang von Goethe, Marblehead, Dorothy, of a pleasing lavender pink color, Snow- storm, Beloit, Cortez, Directeur Quinnce and Marguerite Perroneau. On another table the varieties Yellow Colosse, Papa Charmet, Governor Guild, Souvenir de Gustave Doazon, W. W. Rawson, Dreer's White, Mont Blanc and Bertha von Suttner were noteworthy. Mrs. E. M. Gill filled a table with an excellent assortment tastefully ar- ranged, tall vases being freely used down the center. Other prominent ex- hibitors, besides those already named, in- cluded S. V. Walters, Alvin A. Bassett, W. D. Moon and H. W. Kendal. There were in all seventy-one classes, inclu- sive of specials, of which twenty-seven were allotted to amateurs. Some fine new seedlings were shown and practi- cally every class had competition. There was a large attendance on each day of the exhibition.

The waterproof chiffon is not only a money-maker for the supply houses but is a boon to the retailer. The Florists ' Club at Springfield, Ohio, the home of several great mail order plant houses, has contributed $25 to the funds of the Postal Progress League. The "Want Ad pages of The Eeview are worth watching every week. Many fine opportunities are shown there — not merely a few, but a hundred or more each week. Inquiries must be signed with full name, and address must be given, to re- ceive reply. Signatures are not used for publication in The Eeview, but anony- mous inquiries are not answered. J. W. Eoss, Centralia, 111., sends The Eeview specimen blooms of the new dahlia, "Wm. Eoss, deep scarlet, large flower, of the show type; also foliage of a new seedling coleus of striking colors. When you send photographs to an editor, write the title on the back. The Eeview frequently receives pictures with no clue by which the sender can be iden- tified, not even a postmark. Among the unmarked pictures recently received was the portrait of a lady and two \iews in a flower store. The United States government always has classed as nursery stock all imports of bulbs and all imports of certain plants handled only by florists, such as palms, azaleas and orchids; but the Department of Commerce and Labor in 1909 sepa- rated "orchids, palms, dracsenas, crotons, azaleas, tulip and other bulbs, bulbous roots or corms cultivated for their flow- ers" from "other plants, trees, shrubs or vines, ' ' and found that the imports of the former aggregated an invoice value of $954,399, or almost half the total of ' ' all nursery stock, ' ' in which these seed trade and florists ' items still are included. The completed figures by countries from which the imports came will be found on page 52 of this copy of The Eeview. "MONEY GOOD ENOUGH"— GUDE. As readers of the daily papers know, a Chicago gentleman who occupies for the moment the office of Secretary of the Treasury has conceived the bright idea of leaving his mark upon the finances of the United States by reduc- ing the size of the paper money. The average person is too deeply concerned with the decreasing purchasing power of the dollar to regard a decrease in the size of the bill itself either as im- portant or inappropriate, but commer- cial bodies are opposing the change. William F. Gude, who, besides conduct- ing a flower store, is president of the Washington Chamber of Commerce and director in a bank, is quoted in a New York paper as saying: "If the United States government is reduced to the necessity of instituting an economy by cutting down the size of our bank notes it is in pretty bad shape, it seems to me. It looks to me like a case of saving at the spigot and wast- ing at the bunghole. The economy re- sulting would be so inflnitesimal com- pared with the annoyance and addi- tional labor' and expense that would be imposed upon the banks and the busi- ness people that it would not be worth while talking about. "I believe in economy in govern- ment, but it appears to me that this proposition would not be an economy. The present size of our notes is all right. The people are used to it, and I can see no good reason for making a change. It surely would take ten years to retire the present circulation, and in that time the expense to the people would be far greater than the saving to the government. I do not like it. I am satisfied with the cur- rency as it is." SELL YOUB SURPLUS. No matter what your surplus is, some- where there are pretty sure to be buy- ers who need just that stock. And The Eeview reaches the whole trade: The little ad In The Review brongbt ns too many results with the first insertion, but they came a little too late to head off the second in- sertion.—L. C. Stroh & Sons, Batavla, N. Y., September 12, 1910. The success with which they moved surpluses by advertising in The Eeview has caused many a florist to work up stock and get into the wholesale line. No need to be content with a limited local trade. CHICAGO. Census Count Is 2,185,283. If the Chicago market had been com- pelled to rely for its business in the last week on the 2,185,283 people that Uncle Sam found within the city lim- its, business would have been a great deal worse than it really was; the week has been a quiet one, the bulk of the stock going to the many ad-ii- tional millions of people who contrib- ute the shipping orders that are the dependence of this market. The local retailers are doing a little more each week, but the city business is not yet large enough to cut much figure as compared to the shipping demand. There was a decrease following Sep- tember 12, but weather conditions at the end of the week served to cut down the supply. The same was apparently the case throughout a wide stretch of country, for September 19 there was a nice increase in shipping demand, but since then nothing exceptional has been stirring. Business is not bad, but it is not good; the market might easily become oversupplied. After having been in the background for some little time, roses again occupy a conspicuous place. The supply or quality of other stock is such that whatever business there is stirring ifl reflected in the demand for roses. Beau- ties once more are in abundant supply; many growers are on the upgrade with their crops and quality is excellent. A considerable proportion of the cut is on long stems, whereas a good part of the demand is for medium-stemmed stock. The fall openings also are mak- ing a special call for short Beauties, and the short to medium grades are Smn'BMBEB 22, 1010.

Mastin & Co., manufacturers of the Mastin spraying machine and various other devices, arc now prepar- ing to market an improved hose cou- pling. It requires only a simple twist of the wrist — in fact, amounting to a one-quarter turn of the ends — to lock or unlock the coupling, thus doing away with the old screw coupling, with its consequent kinking of the hose. A call on Schiller The Florist found George Asmus, the manager, busily at work on a funeral design. He said that although there had been nothing special, nevertheless business was much better all summer than it was last year. The Ernst Wienhoeber Co. recently added a two-story brick building, about 25x30 feet, extending from the rear of the former workroom to the alley. The first floor is used as a receiving room for cut flowers. Here they are sorted, then sent forward to the old workroom for arrangement in vases, then into the display room. The new building is ar- ranged so that wagons can come in un- der cover while unloading. The second floor is used as a storage room for cut flower boxes, supplies, vases, baskets, etc. It was necessary to tear down part of one of the greenhouses to make room for the new building. The Geo. Wittbold Co. had the deco- rations for the opening of the new National City Bank, at the southeast corner of Dearborn and Monroe streets, September 19.

Mr. "Weissgerber makes a spe- cialty of ferns and has several houses of these that are making fine growth. He has also experimented with a few orchid plants and says he has obtained some good blooms. John Lang, whose specialty is ferns and bedding plants for the wholesale market, is busy taking geranium cut- tings. He also has about 20,000 pansy plants started for spring sales. Two houses of White Enchantress and En- chantress are beginning to show some nice blooms. Mr. Lang's greenhouses cover about an acre of ground at the northeast corner of Melrose avenue and North Eobey street and every foot of space is utilized to the best advantage. There are three or four houses of Bos- ton ferns that show expert care and attention. C. Frauenfelder & Co., 3343 West Madison street, say that business is quite satisfactory and they would like to spread out, but they say they cannot spread sideways or endways, which leaves only up and down, and they fear that one greenhouse on top of another, although novel, would scarcely produce results. The flower show at Lake Forest was featured in the daily papers, but, of course, the millionaires' wives got all the credit for the quality of the blooms. A number of them employ gardeners of exceptional skill. E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros, Co., is at home from his outing in Canada.

Sinner Bros, completed replanting their place September 20. They have cut down on other roses to give space to Maryland, Jardine, Killarney and White Killarney and are already cutting these varieties in considerable quantity. The A. L.

The New Orleans Horticultural So- ciety held a well attended and inter- esting meeting at its hall, Kolb's Ger- man Tavern, 127 St. Charles street, Sep- tember 15. The president, Richard Eichliug, was in the chair and the sec- retary, C. R. Panter, at his desk. The society intends to take out a charter, and a committee, previously appointed, reported that the charter will be ready in the near future. The feature of the evening was a most interesting lecture by E. Baker, superintendent of the local parking commission. He is starting a nursery to supply the city with the necessary trees and shrubs for the different streets and parks, excepting Audubon and City park, all to be planted in a systematic, harmonious way. About three squares of cypress swamp land will be in cultivation in a short while and the several thousand seedlings first planted are doing finely. Mr. Baker commented upon the richness and suita- bility of the soil found for the pro- posed nursery and predicted great re- sults for the future. J. A, Newsham exhibited several fine types of Cattleya Bowringeana, in about six different shades. He stated that at present he cuts several hundred stems daily for shipping purposes, and invited the members to visit his es- tablishment. Hermann Doescher reported that his WILLIAM J.

Panter, secretary, urged the members to try to induce every florist in the city to join the society, so as to give the S. A. F. a rousing reception in case it should make the logical point the convention city in 1915. He will leave for the west next month for a several weeks ' trip, visiting many places of interest, and at the same time booming the interests of the Cres- cent City for 1915. The winter meetings of the society will be exceedingly interesting. Many lectures on different departments of horticulture will be given, and every- thing will be done to make each meet- ing interesting to the attendants. Various Notes. A visit to the Metairie Eidge Nursery by the writer proved to be a great pleasure. The president, Harry Pap- worth, had just returned from his visit to the convention city and other places of interest, and expressed himself high- ly pleased, both from a business and pleasure standpoint. In company with Mr. Papworth, Secretary Simon and Harry Dressel, the efficient rose grower, the writer looked over the large plant and found everything in fine shape. About 50,000 mums, in 150 varieties, are planted, most of them under glass. They are all healthy and strong and wilf soon show buds.

The canning industry is beginning to wake up to a realization of the shortage of peas, sweet corn and tomatoes. Secretaky Kendel has mailed to mem- bers the printed report of the twenty- eighth annual convention of the Amer- ican Seed Trade Association, held at At- lantic City in June. It is a vohime of 142 pages, full of matter the knowledge of which means money to any man en- gaged in the soed trade. Word comes from Holland that the export houses had their shipments prac- tically all out two weeks earlier than last year, due to early lifting and favorable conditions for curing. The tulips not required for advance orders are said to be going slowly, though many fill-in or re- peat orders are expected later, but the late-flowering and Darwin varieties are in request and selling at better prices than last year. Narcissi were a good crop. Double Von Sion are in demand and worth high prices for good sized bulbs. i IMPORTS OF SEEDS.

A heavy rain has fallen at a most inopportune time for the growers in the California lima bean district. It had been hoped that the crop, the har- vesting of which was just begun, would turn out a little better than earlier estimates, but the big storm September 14 has upset all calculations. Writing from Carpinteria September 16, Henry Fish said: "Carpinteria was thorough- ly soaked by a rain the night of Sep- tember 14. We are favored with wind and sunshine now and expect to resume harvesting the bean crop soon. There will be extra expense and shrinkage in handling. It is too early to say how much this will be."

The Market. Business is picking up gradually, after the usual summer dullness. The princi- pal call is for funeral work, of which there has been a great deal during the last ten days. Stock is coming in more l^lentifuUy and is of belter quality, es- pecially roses and carnations. Asters and gladioli are about cut out for the season. Outdoor bedding has been somewhat of a failure this season, due to constant rains early in the summer, which had an effect on stock from which it never recovered. Various Notes. Honaker is sending in fine cuts of loses and lilies every day. His Kai- serin, My Maryland and Killarney com- mand fancy prices. He reports several large orders for funeral work of late, for out-of-town customers. Miss Emma Bell, daughter of W. S. Bell, the florist, has opened a flower counter in the O. L. Steele Ladies' Out- fitters' Emporium. A beautiful white ice-box shows stock to advantage. Miss Bell should do well, as she is well known, being connected in business with her father for some years. Richard Tacke, superintendent of city parks here, is rapidly recovering from an attack of malarial fever. Stock of all kinds looks well at the establishment of John A. Keller, espe- cially roses, carnations and mums. This firm has just placed an order with the John C. Moninger Co., Chicago, for a house 26x200 feet, to be used for young carnation and rose stock. A Detroit steam trap, No. 13, has just been in- stalled to take care of their plant. A To the Trade: I am still doing business at the old stand, 1601 Ranstead Street, which i.s concided to \>e the flower center of thi.s city. My l>restige is increasing from year to year. It is not necessary for me to open branch stores in other cities to look for new victims. My policy always has been a square deal to everyone. This is the secret of iny success.

They have recently purehastvl several acres of land, to take care of their ever increasing stock. The grounds of the Eastern Kentucky Lunatic Asylum are especially attract ive .iust now. Some design bedding here is certainly well done. W. S. Bell, who has been in business here for over twenty-five years, has dis- posed of his downtown store. He has been a sufferer from rheumatism during the last three years and, being unable to give his business the proper atten- tion, decided to sell out the stock and fixtures, and they were sold at auction.

IMPORTS OF NURSERY STOCK. A new feature of the government's statistical work is the compilation of separate figures covering imports of orchids, palms, draccenas, crotons, aza- leas, tulips and other bulbs, bulbous roots or corms cultivated for their flow- ers. Previous to 1909 these items had been included with the general heading of nursery stock, although in a trade sense they are none of them to be so classed. The figures on imports for 1909 have just become available, as follows: 1907 1908 1009 Fruit plants, trop- ical, for propa- gation ? 11,328? 1,912.? 4,00'.

A BLUE ROSE The Greatest Rose Novelty off 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 (he foremnner of a genuinely cornflower bine rose, ie a seedling of Orimson Rambler, very vigorous and hardy, and free blooming.

Mentiou The Keviow when you write. Such good prices have been realized this season for all kinds of fruits that the nurserymen are sure to feel the in- creased call from planters. On the whole this has not been so bad a growing season. Some sections, and these include important nursery centers, have had too dry a summer, but in other localities it has been too wet, so the aver- age, perhaps, is normal. Not one department of the nursery business is lagging behind. The call for ornamentals is scarcely less than for fruit trees; there are plenty of orders for the men who grow the small fruits, and for the ones who specialize on hardy peren- nials, while the landscape departments are steadily expanding. Peony business is reported as break- ing no records this year. The big orders of other seasons are missed by those who have handled them and who now have to face the competition of their former cus- tomers. The peony has, however, lost none of its merits or popularity with the public and retail orders are more numer- ous than ever. Election of officers was the main thing on the program at the meeting of the Texas Nurserymen's Association at Waco, Tex., September 13 and 14, and the result was: President, J. R. May- hew, Waxahachie ; vice-president, .T. L. Downing, Wichita Falls ; secretary and treasurer, J. S. Kerr, Sherman. A reso- lution was passed, asking congress to pro- vide a duty on foreign citrus products. HARDY PERENNIALS All the plants named below will be supplied in lieavy field clumps.

Rossi & Co. each had several elaborate designs at the funeral of the daughter of ex-Governor Pardee, which was held in Oakland last week. The California Evergreen Co. has re- ceived a carload of tree moss from Sonoma county. The U.

The Wisconsin State Fair, which took place last week, September 12 to 16, was a great success, surpassing any held in jjrevious years. The attendance was larger, there were more exhibits and the quality throughout was better. This show also held true to the flower line. All the exhibiting florists and seeds- men, having taken larger space than in former years, made a showing which was a credit to the fair. Even the flower beds, which had a rather try- ing time of it during the dry, hot sipell, looked better than ever before. Prizes were awarded to the follow- ing: Klower beils — Bud of caunas, K.

THE NEW FERN ''Z?^^' (SPORT OF BOSTON) TTHIS New Fern, when exhibited at the S. A. F. & 0. H. Convention recently, received the following description: " Nephrolepis Dreyerii has many s:ood points which will render it popular. It makes a quick s^rowth, is compact, of good color, and stands considerable rougrh treatment, adapting itself to almost any condition. It is of the Scottii type, but not as stiff, the fronds drooping gracefully, giving the plant a very attractive appearance." Ready for delivery after October 1.

Census Count Is 213,381. There was a perceptible improve- ment iu the market last week, but nothing to boast of. There has been plenty of some kinds of stock, particu- larly roses, and some good stock is now seen, but the weather has been warm and they open quickly. Beauties are also plentiful and of good color and quality, both long and short. A few fair carnations for this season are seen, but they are not much of a factor in the market and will not be until cooler weather comes in. A few chrysanthemums are already seen, but they have not cut much of a figure as yet — not seasonable, perhaps, or natural. The outdoor flowers are about at an end. Asters have been far from good all season. Dahlias arf yet to be had, but not in large quan- tities, and the quality is not such as to attract much attention. Various Notes. Among the recent visitors was Miss Breuninger, bookkeeper for Gude Bros., of "Washington. She and her sister were spending their vacations in Colo- rado. J. A. Valentine and N. A. Benson have been spending a few weeks on the western slope. Mr. and Mrs. George H. Cooper have returned from their honeymoon trip and are keeping house on Lincoln avenue. The Columbine Floral Co. is about to open its new store at the corner of Stout street and Fifteenth street. The Colorado Florists' Club will re- sume its regular monthly meetings the third Thursday in October, when the election of officers will take place. W. C. Johnson, representative of E. H. Hunt, is in town, calling on the trade. E. S. K. Charleroi, Pa. — Joseph Haube & Bro. are rebuilding greenhouses at Speers, Pa., on a farm of twenty acres. This firm also conducts a branch store at Monessen, Fa., in addition to the green- houses and headquarters on Fallow- field avenue, in this city.

There is not much change in trade conditions since last week. Asters and gladioli are dropping out of sight and the few that do come in have not been good for the last week. However, there has been no scarcity of stock up to this time, as roses, lilies, carnations and dahlias are quite plentiful. Various Notes. The McEae-.Tenkinson Co. has pur- chased the old Chas. Eisner store, on Penn avenue, and will put in a good line of plants and cut flowers, with Frank Stafford as manager. Wm. F. Lauch, of New Galilee, Pa., is adding one small house for propagating purposes. The Allegheny Floral Co. is the name of the new flower store opened at 1 Federal street, N. S. The first frost was Wednesday, Sep- tember 15, but did no harm, as there was not much to injure. E. C. Ludwig rounded out his half century Tuesday, September 20, and after the day's business, the employees surprised him by reminding him of the occasion and presenting him with a smoking outfit. The presentation speech was made by T. P. Langhans. The visitors last week were Wm. F. Lauch, New Galilee, Pa., and Israel Eos- nosky and Wm. Craig, of Philadelphia, Pa. Hoo-Hoo. SPRINGFIELD, O. Election of officers was the chief item of business before the meeting of the Springfield Florists' Club, Monday eve- ning, September 12, resulting in the choice of the following for the ensuing year: President, Charles W. Schmidt; vice-president. Christian Binning; sec- retary, C. Pearl Bethard; treasurer, Harry C. Eeeser. In line with the recent action of the S. A. F., John M. Good and George H. Mellen were appointed a committee to formulate and circulate among local florists a petition favoring the adoption of a parcels post system by congress.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 69 EVANSVILLE, IND. census Count Is 69,647. Business was excellent last week, with jiiclu-ations of its continuing so for a ^l)ile, at least. Eoses and carnations are improving, as the weather is cooler, firii g being necessary for a few nights reciiitly. Golden Glow chrysanthemums are now in the market. Various Notes. .\t Julius Xiednagel & Sons' estab- lisl.inent business is good. They are out ling several hundred carnations a ,Ia> and have ready sale for them. The ros" section is in line shape. Richmond, Killarney, My Maryland and American Be; uties are looking extra good and givo promise of heavy cuts in a short time. John Murphy and Frank Woelz leaving about the same time on short notice left them in a bad way for help. They liave obtained a new rose man who was with Poehlmann Bros, for some time, but since has visited his home in Europe. A carnation grower ;incl plant man will arrive this week. Mr. Niednagel came out of his contro- versy with the city over the opening up of Bell street, with flying colors. Last year the city informed him that they expected to open up this street this year and Mr. Xiednagel asked to, be advised of the fact early in the spring, so he would have plenty of time to move his greenhouses which were in the line of the proposed street. The city did not notify him till July and Mr. Niednagel said that it was then too late to move, as the houses had been planted, and he would fight the case. Mr. Niednagel won, as it was proven that he owned the land and not the city, as was supposed. The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. had two large wedding decorations last week which called for some artistic work, especially the one at Eockport, Ind. George Blackman stated that these were the kind of decorations they like to handle, as they are always pre pared for them. They are cutting large quantities of roses, carnations and greens. The Beauties are extra good. They had a new window display last week which attracted a good deal of attention. The new feature was several cages of parrots and they seemed well satisfied with the attention received. At Ben Kramer's store business is on the increase. Mrs. Kramer is back from her vacation trip, much improved in health. Henry Seymour is cutting lots of car- nations and has sale for all of them. Karl Ziedler reports a good business. Vustin "Wallace is cutting some Golden Gr'ow mums, and disposes of most of th^m to Mr. Kramer. Royston & Fenton's roses are improv- i'U right along. They began firing last ^■ek. E. L. F.

If you do not have sheds for a large supply of fuel, dump the coal in the open and cover the pile with slack; the deterioration will be slight. Those interested in greenhouse heat- ing should note the view down the center walk of Plant B of Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton Grove, 111., printed on an- other page of this issue. OVERHAUL THE SYSTEM. This is the time to overhaul the heat- ing system. Even in the great estab- lishments where men are employed for the special purpose of operating the heating apparatus, summer idleness and other causes make necessary that the heating system be thoroughly gone over at this time of year. Further delay will bring the changes at a date when fires are likely to be called for any night. In these days of wonderfully ingen- ious devices for the management of the heating medium there is no need for ineffective or inefficient systems. Hardly ever is there a system so seri- ously "sick" that it is not possible to make it work efficiently by the aid of one or more of the devices which control or force circulation. No one will dispute that the best system is the simplest system — the one which is so installed that it works nat- urally, without any other aid than the forces generated with the boiler. But it unfortunately is the fact that hy far the larger number of greenhouse establishments have grown from small beginnings. They are, in fact, a patch- work. When the first house or houses were erected, foresight was not keen enough to discern the annual need for additional glass. Year by year houses have been added to the first ones built, until some of the establishments are almost like little cities built on the HARRISBURG-FRAMINCOALCO. 1216 Fisher Building, CHICAGO The Better Grades ONLY of INDIANA AND ILLINOIS COALS Preparation and quality as they should be.

With new branches grafted upon the heating system, and the sys- tem itself not originally planned for additions, it is little wonder that the makers of devices to aid or compel or control circulation find this field a flourishing one for them. It often pays to overhaul a heating plant from the beginning and thus re- duce operating expenses, but usually slight changes made in summer will serve to make old systems fairly effi- cient.

Mention The Review when you write it will be safe to rely upon the gas can be settled better by a person on the spot. It is true that in cold weather the pressure is considerably reduced and often drops so low that the fire goes out, which, of course, is a danger- ous thing for the plants in a green- house, especially as it is most likely to occur on the coldest nights. As a rule, however, this does not occur with gas from new wells, but only in those where the pressure has been gradually lessening. TWO MICHIGAN HOUSES. We have built two additional houses, running east and west. House No. 1 is 21%xl25 and about fifteen feet four inches to the ridge. This house is for roses and has three 5-foot benches. House No. 2 is 27%xl25 and about sixteen feet to the ridge. It is for carnations and contains four benches — three of them five feet wide and the other four feet wide. Will you kindly tell us how many flows and returns will be needed in each house? We will heat with steam and are planning to use 2- inch pipe for the flows and li/4inch for the returns. Which is the better way to run the flows, overhead or un- der the benches? The boiler house will be at the west end. The outside tem- perature occasionally goes as low as 30 degrees below zero. R. L. For house Xo. 1, which is 21%xl25, a temperature suitable for roses can be secured by the use of two 2-inch flows and ten li/4-incli returns. The flows and four of the returns could be di- vided between the two side walls and the other returns could be under the benches. The same piping would suffice for carnations in house No. 2, which is 27%xl25, when the outside tem- perature is 30 degrees below zero. If the ends of the houses are much ex- posed it would be well to run the flows either under the ridge or along the purlins, and start the return coils so that they will run at least partly across the ends of tho houses. What is the Most Vital Point in Grate Construction? Grate makers and users agree that the most important point is to keep the air spaces open as long as possible under all conditions. We guarantee to keep the air spaces of the Martin Anti-rriction Rocking Grpte open longer under any condl- tions than can be done by any other grate in existence. The hottest fire you can build will not warp a " Martin," and it can be installed without disturbing the brick work. We refer to Peter Reinberg, Emil Buettner, Bassett & Washburn, Wietor Bros., Adam Zender, Sinner Bros., Albert Dickinson Co., and many others.

That you would increase the efficiency of your steam lines by draining them of all condensation. That this pure hot condensation could be returned to the boilers as feed water by means of this trap without the assistance of pump or injector.

Last week was State Fair week and a good many strangers were in town. The local florists showed a little more interest. C. L. Branson, of Paducah, the superintendent of the department of plants and flowers, worked hard and brought one of the best displays ever seen at the state fair. The facilities for a display of this kind are poor, and for that reason a good many wonld- be exhibitors keep out. But another year may find things different, as the flower hall will be the next permanent building to be put up. The class for the best floral design, for a large silver cup offered by the Louisville florists, brought out five of the best designs seen here at any show. It took the judges about two hours to select the winner. Nanz & Neuner's design, a beautiful broken column of ivy leaves with a garland of White Killarney roses and white bouvardias on a large base of maidenhair ferns and Asparagus plumosus, with a big bunch of "White Killarney roses on one corner and a bunch of white bouvardias on the opposite side, was finally select- ed as the winner.

They are not Just hooks, but each one of them has been carefully and understandingly designed by men who have been up against the silffest kind of heating problems. These are the men in the business who first see a need and then design a special thing to fit that special noed. That's what we mean when we say our hooks are not "just books." Here is a series for columns that will carry one or any number of pipes up to eight, or by putting them on both sides of the column, carry sixteen. It's no trick to put them up and they are easily adjast- able at any time. We have ju>t printed a supplement to our Handy Hand Hook that is devoted almost entirely to Pipe Hooks.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^ THE FORCING OF BULBS. [A paper by Alex. R. Wllkle, of Outremont, .Montreal, Can., read at a meeting of the Mon- ireal Gardeners' and Florists' Club, March 7, 1910.] To force bulbs successfully, we want the right compost or soil. Three parts f^food loam to one part dried cow manure, imd a dash of sharp sand to keep the whole open, is a good mixture. Of course, old carnation soil or mum soil, with a little fresh loam mixed, will answer the purpose if difficulty is experienced in >retting the first mentioned compost. Next we must have good bulbs. Good bulbs are half the battle. Do not get ^hn\\ huds to ^ct tiiem to full Idodiii. Iris bulbs can be forced alonj^ in a temperature of 60 dejrrees after they are well rooted. This refers principally to Spanish iris. The gladiolus season can also be lengthened by early forcing. Such varie- ties as Hlushiiig Hride. Cohillei allia, etc., can be had in April and May by grow- ing in a temperature of 45 to GO degrees. Other bulbs which can be forced to ad- vantage arc: iMidiaris Amaxonica, Agapauthus iimlielhitus, amnrvllis, Free- sia refracta alba, Freesia Purity, ixias, lachenalias, Scilla Siberica, nerines, etc. VAKIOUS BULBS.

Woubl boxes be better? How early could each be planted and when would they ••(unmcncc to bloom? Can Peach Blossom bulbs be lield and ].lanted in early spring? They are not reliably hardy here in Virginia. C. W. B. The small bulbed gladioli, including such popular varieties as Peach Blos- som, Cohillei The Bride, Blushing Bride. Crimson Queen, Ackermanni, Matlnlde. Muna and others, are pro- curable early in September. While they can be grown in benches, we have always found they do much better in flats containing four inches of soil. These can be placed on a cellar floor or in a coldframe. They need no cov- ering over the soil, but 'the sun's rays should be excluded until the growths start. A flat 4x12x24 inches will hold fifty to sixty bulbs of any of the va- rieties named. A suitable "compost con- sists of two-thirds well decayed sod and one third old, well rotted barn- yard manure; cow manure is the best- next to this, horse and sheep. If you cannot secure any good stable ma- nure, perhaps you can secure bags of pulverized sheep or shredded cattle manure, using it in the proportion of one to ten or twelve. Chemical fer- tilizers should not be used. I have seen many ill results from experimenting with them. ^ The large bulbed gladioli, such as America, Shakespeare. Mnv, Augusta and others, are not to be had, as a rule before the end of November. If grown in boxes, these require to be six to eight inches deep. Thev do well in benches or solid beds. "From a crop planted in December, you could in your state start to cut about the middle of March. Successive plantings can be made, to prolong the season. A tem- perature of 50 degrees at night is as high as these gladioli care for. Cer- tainly it should not go bevond 54 de- grees in midwinter. A carnation tem- perature is about riglit, and soil used for mums, roses, violets or carnations will answer well for gladioli. The small bulbed gladioli should be growR in a coldframe until the end of October and kept in a pit or cold greenhouse until the first week in Jan- uary, by which time they will have the Hats well filled with roots and growth several inches long. A night tempera- ture of 50 degrees will suit them; GO degrees is too high and will make them weak and spindling, and the flowers will lack substance. Weak liquid ma- nure can be applied once a week after the flats are placed in heat. Spanish iris requires much the same treatment as the smaller bulbed gla- dioli and the same number of bulbs should go in a flat. Four to five inches of soil is needed. Grow cool and as light as possible at all stages of growth. Anything in the nature of forcing will spoil the i)lants. Avoid using strong liquid manure, as it will cause the ends of the leaves to turn brown. Heavy fumigation with tobacco stems will also similarly affect them. These irises Avant a copious water sup- ply. They can be grown in beds or benches in a cool house, but it is an advantage to have them in flats, as then they can be moved around at will. They are sometimes dotted among car- nations and violets as a supplementary Charles W. Schmidt. crop. The violet temperature is the most to their liking. I'each Blossom and other gladioli can be kept cool and dry, and planted outdoors as soon as frost has left the ground. The charming little bulbs of ixias are not so much grown as their merits de- serve. They are commonly classed as fussy subjects, many growers failing with them entirely. I have grown them well planted among violets. In flats they have not been a success, the least excess of moisture causing the flowering shoots to damp off just above the bulbs. In pots or pans, well drained, six to seven inches in diameter, they succeed well. A suitable compost consists of two-thirds loam and the other third equal i)arts of leaf mold and old hot- bed manure, to which is added sufficient sharp sand to keej) it porous. If the soil is moderately damp, no water need be given until growtli starts; then avoid giving too much. Keep the plants in a coldframe as late as possible. Al- ways underwater rather than over- water them. Place in a cool, light house in December, where the ten perature will bo 45 to 50 degrees ■.'. night. In such a place they will gro wadl. Afford a little liquid manure whe the spikes show. The best comme: cial ixias are craterioides major an rosea plena Wonder. Ixias would wii; ter outdoors with you on well draine. soil. Plant out just before the grouu' freezes and mulch so as to exclud' frost. Kemove the covering early ii April and protect from late sprim frosts. C. W. PAPER WHITES FOR CHRISTMAS When is the proper time to plan Paper Whites in a house kept at 50 di grees at night and GO degrees in thi daytime, to have them for Christmas? J. C. E. Your best ])lan will be to plant tin bulbs now, in flats containing foui inches of soil, and stand them in a coldframe or on a c(dlar floor. The bulbs lose much of their strength it kept out of the soil too long. In a temperature averaging 50 degrees al night and GO degrees in the daytime, allow five weeks after housing for the jilants to flower. Growing in flats will give you better results than planting; directly in the house. If you jirefei the latter jilan, you need not i)ut in tin bulbs until the beginning of October. C. W. CHARLES W. SCHMIDT. Charles W. Schmidt, presidentelect of the Springfield Florists' Club, was born December IG, 18G8, the son of Adam Schmidt, tht; well known ])ioneer druggist at Springfield, O. He attended the public schools, graduating from the high school in 1884, following which he spent a year in Nelson's Business Col- lege. Engaging as bookkeeper for the district superintendent for the Union Central Life Insurance Co., sixteen years were spent, when Mr. Schmidt be- gan to cast about for a business in which to invest his savings. Nothing api)eare(l more inviting than the mail order plant trade. A partnership was formed with Kobert Botley, a practical florist of thorough English training, and a strong team of German and British blood was thus yoked together to pull what seems to be their life business. The start was made in a small way at the nearby village of Husted in the fall of 185)1, under the firm name of Schmidt & Botley. In 1893 six acres of land were se- cured on what was then the edge of Sj>ringfield, and three houses erected. Additions were made rapidly until the jiresent total of twenty-eight was reached, aggregating ai)out G5,00" sfjuare feet of glass. The first five of these houses are being rebuilt this fall. To better facilitate tlie business of the growing concern, the Schmidt & Botley (;o. was incorporated in 1908, with Adam Schmidt jtresident, Robert Bot ley vice-{>resident and superintendent, and Charles W. Schmidt secretary and treasurer. A recent purchase of thirty-two acres of land about two miles out of the city was made, which will eventually be planted with hardy shrubs; an acljoin ing tract of nine acres was acquired later. On the larger tract a bungalow has been built, at which Mr. Schmidt and family spend their summers. In 1894, Mr. Schmidt married Alice Barnes. SZOPTEMBEK 'JO, 1910.

Christ \Vinteric,h, Defiance, ()., originated the process, but it is not covered either by patent or .-opyright, nor would he patent it if he .ould. Everybody is welcome. .\n annual event at Defiance is tlie fall festival; pretty nearly every tosvn has something similar, a county fair or >ome other t>vent at about this date. Knowing that the fall festival would take place in Sc^ptember, last sjiring Mr. Winterich advertised in his local paper that on a certain afternoon he would give to each school chilil five "J- inch geraniums, these to be grown on for exhibition at the festival in Sc[itom- her, when prizes would be awarded to those showing the best plants. The accompanying illustration shows a part of those who came for the jdants in the spring. The picture is so much reduced it may not be apparent, but each child in the group has a package of geraniums in his hand. You can imagine the talk in that town when so many youngsters lined up at the wire to get their start in the race. When the fall festival came around the school children's exhibitions were one of the star features. Quite natiir- rilly it was the center of interest for the children, and consequently for their parents. Those whose geraniums liad •^n.ioyed only a fleeting existence were on hand to see what the more successful ones had accomplished, and it is just witliin the possibilities that some of the plants Mr. Winterich sold in 3 inch and 4 inch pots during summer were bought to take the place of one or more of those given away that had not with- stood amateur cultural methods. Anyway, it was a big ad for Mr. Winterich; a big ad in the spring, a good ad all summer long, and an- other big ad in the fall. The local newspaper gave the display half a column write-up. from which it is gleaned that "Lois Stonebreaker won the first prize, a large palm. She had five plants which were uniform in size. Paul Fahy won the second prize, a large fern. Clarence Eost won third prize, a beautiful cyclamen. Tsabelle Lavis won fourth prize, a bed of geraniums. Lucile Schlembaugh won fifth prize, a bed of cannas. Irene and Edmund Nickle won a special prize of a large fern. They had grown their ten plants in one large tub. Paul Duerk has the best single plant. Many of the children had less than five plants, and for these honorable mention was given to sev- eral." Their names followed. Next season the show will grow. PACKING VIOLET PLANTS. Wliatisthe best way of jiaeking field- grown violet jilants for shipment ? Some of them measure ten to fourteen inches diameter. Should 1 leave much soil in on the roots .' E. A. P A good way in which to pack violet l)lants for shipment is to put a thin layer of excelsior in the bottom of the box, and then pack the plants upright in straight rows across the box, press- ing the roots firmly together in the row. If the plants" are to be shipped far. there should be a narrow wooden cleat nailed across the box between everv other row, in order to keep the j)lants in place. Then nail a slat cover on the top of the box. so that the plants will have plenty of ventilation. Do not remove all the soil from the roots. In case the soil is light and falls away from the roots too much, it is best to i>ack a thin layer of damp ex- celsior between each row of plants m the box. Pack tightly, but give the foliage all the air you can. to avoid heating in the box. W. H. T.

During the last days of September the commercial grower is always hop- ing for a good frost. Sometimes he gets it and sometimes he does not, but when he does, it creates immediately a healthy demand for good mums and then the grower who has been specu- lating mostly on early varieties reaps his harvest. It cannot be denied that, from this year's experience, Golden Glow has done the market more harm than good, as it has been in flower and on sale in the market for the last month. Some of the later flowers were ex- cellent in quality. Now, just when the large flowered types are ready to come in and the mar- ket should be in a healthy condition to receive them, we are confronted with the low prices at which Golden Glow has been sold, and the professed in- ability of the buyer to see why he has to pay more for other kinds. The new- ness has worn off and the man who has been anticipating a good call at a fair price for his early stock, like Monrovia or Crocus, seems doomed to disappoint- ment unless he is helped by the weather. Monrovia, I always think, is a much better flower than Golden Glow. It is also of a deeper color, and, under nor- mal conditions, will keep better, but one cannot afford to grow Monrovia in competition with Golden Glow, as it needs more care and the quantity of first-class flowers from a given space in a bench is not so large. "We have, at the present time, some excellent flowers of Yellow October Frost, on 6-foot stems, and these are better than either Golden Glow or Mon- rovia. This only goes to prove that we must try to get something a little better than the other fellows, all the time, if we arc to keep in the front rank. Comoleta is looking well, as is also Gloria, and before we know it the rush will be on in full swing. There is plenty of room for a really good early pink, to be ready October 1. A new French variety that we are trying this year, called Chateau des Rodrets, seems to possess some good qualifications, but it is rather early yet to pass judgment on it. Certainly it will be poor if the color does not beat that of Montmort, as the color of the latter on early buds is always wretched. Midseason Varieties. Midseason varieties, particularly where they are growing in the same house with the early kinds, must be looked after so that, before the flower shows col6r, the insects may be all dis- posed of. One is too often prone, when cutting begins, to neglect the later va- rieties, and while one cannot well fumi- gate heavily with a section of the house in flower, still a light smoking will do no harm if the ventilators are opened early in the morning. Cut off all feeding on all varieties as soon as the buds show color. Any plant that is properly grown should finish its flowers without any difficulty when it is brought to that stage, where- as feeding, if carried on too long, makes the flowers extremely soft and unsatisfactory. The question of ventilation should also be considered from now on. Dur- ing all the summer and early fall months the ventilators have been left open night and day, but now, with a temperature which may often range down to several degrees of frost at night, more care is necessary. The temperature of the house should not be allowed to go below 45 degrees. At the same time, it is not advisable to close the ventilators tight, with the idea of retaining the sun heat in that manner. Leave two inches or so of air on at the top of the house and, if nec- essary, run a coil of steam around. This will create a dry atmosphere and keep the moisture from settling on the petals. Chrysanthemum flowers object, above everything else, to being sweated in any way. They will endure the cold far better. Chas. H. Totty. AEE YOU SOLD OUT?

In leading flower stores, especially those that cater to transient trade, such as is done at a hotel store, corsage bou- quets are an important item. Their variety is infinite. They may consist of a simple spray of cattleyas and a tie to match, or they may be built to any size and include many flowers. In the win- ter season the most popular corsage bouquet for ordinary uses is made of violets, with a gardenia standing up just a little way in the center of the bunch, or a few spikes of valley. Since violets have gone out and the Spencer varieties of sweet peas have come into season, corsage bouquets of the long- stemmed peas have been the vogue. Made up by a man who has the knack, their popularity is well deserved. But it isn't every cut flower worker who knows how to make up corsage bouquets of peas. "Bunch" is the trade word for any arrangement of flowers in the form of a bouquet, and it is accurately descriptive of the work of some who style themselves "floral artists" — did you ever get a first-class haircut at the hands of a "tonsorial artist "f There is only one use for a corsage bouquet, but the occasions for its use are as various as the flowers of which it is made. Most corsage bouquets are for street or dinner wear, but sometimes an order for wedding flowers includes a corsage bouquet of roses and valley. This usually is worn by the mother of the bride, but sometimes at a morning wedding the bridesmaids wear instead of carrying flowers. The accompanying illustration is from a photograph of such a corsage bouquet made by K. Irving Gresham, manager of the C. A. Dahl Co., Atlanta, Ga. He makes it of white, pink, yellow or, sometimes, even of red roses and valley, with a little Adiantum Farleyense mixed in. A cor- 3BPTEMBEB 20, 1010.

The October 1 issue of the Ladies' Home Journal is designated as "The Marriage Number," and one of its fea- tures is a page of brides' bouquets and wedding flowers from designs by Charles Thorley, New York. As the Journal has something over a million circulation, such publicity is sure to add to the Remand for flower accessories for weddings, but an even more im- portant result will be the education of the public taste to demand better things. The florist who wishes to keep in step with the times must keep him- self informed on the progressive excel- lence of arrangements of wedding flow- ers and must be prepared to give his customers advice and service in keep- ing with the most advanced ideas. THE QUESTION OF CREDIT. [The substance of an Interview with one of the trade's leading managers of credit.] The florist is an expert in growing plants and flowers. He thoroughly un- derstands their needs, gives them what they require, and produces results that are ofttimes marvelous. The floral artist understands the arrangement of colors and foliage, the selection of bloom, the making up of designs, and their relative value. But it sometimes happens that what may be called the business knowledge of his profession is not clearly understood by the florist. Unfortunately, a business-college educa- tion was not considered part of the nec- essary training some years ago and all that many of our florists know of busi- ness methods has been picked up here and there. Prior to about 1896 half-yearly settle- ments were in vogue among florists. It was understood that all bills for tl 3 half year were due on the first day of January and on the first day of July, cash discounts being given to those who paid more promptly. As the volume of busi- ness grew and business methods became better understood, this system, or perhaps want of system, of payment was out- grown. No one doing a business of any extent could pay his salary list and other obligations promptly while giving six months' credit. Outside interests demanded prompt payment; they laughed at the idea of waiting six months; they must have their money promptly or they did not want our business. So about fourteen years ago this was changed; accounts for plants, seeds and bulbs were sold on a credit of ninety days; cut flowers on a credit of thirty days. As the observance of this rule becomes more and more general, florists rank higher and higher in the opinion of the business world, and they profit thereby. There are several points in the credit system that are misunderstood by many florists. The most important of these is that of meeting obligations when due. A florist would not dream of sending an order the day after it was required, yet he thinks nothing of failure to meet his obligations when due. It seems to him a satisfactory excuse to say that he has not the money, but how will that excuse help pay the other fellow's sal- ary listt Many florists regard the bank with awe; they feel that to say to the bank that they want money is a dis- grace, yet that is exactly the purpose Corsage Bouquet of Roses and Valley. for which the banks are conducted, or rather one of the most important pur- poses. When you want a suit of clothes, you go to the tailor; when you want sugar, you go to the grocer; when you want money, you should go to the bank. What disgrace is there in borrowing money from the bank to pay just bills? The method is simple. Goods are pur- chased in September on ninety days' credit. There is no ready money to meet the obligations when they fall due in December. A statement of condi- tions is made to the bank and, if satis- factory, a four months' loan is effected that will fall due at Easter. This loan costs a comparatively small sum; it keeps credit high, which means that the buyer is welcome everywhere. Is not this worth while? Sight drafts are not clearly under- stood by all florists. The credit of a man who meets a sight draft when pre- sented is equal to that of a man who sends his check when payment is due. The credit of a man who declines a sight draft is weakened with the bank presenting it, even though he sends his check when refusing the draft. The credit of a man who promises to pay at a stated time and fails to keep that promise is weakened, even though additional credit be extended him, be- cause the house giving credit has its own obligations to meet and cannot af- ford to extend this courtesy to those who do not understand its value. Take, for instance, the case of a house with a salary list of $2,500 each week. To meet this salary list it has obligations 10 The Weekly Florists' Review* September 29, 1919. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

Dur- ing all the summer and early fall months the ventilators have been left oj)en night and day, but now, with a temperature which may often range down to several degrees of frost at night, more care is necessary. The temperature of the house should not be allowed to go below 45 degrees. At the same time, it is not advisable to close the ventilators tight, with the idea of retaining the sun heat in that manner. Leave two inches or so of air on at the top of the house and, if nec- essary, run .'I coil of steam around. This will create a dry atmosphere and keep the moisture from settling on the petals.

But it isn't every cut flower worker who knows how to make up corsage bouquets of peas. "Bunch" is the trade word for any arrangement of flowers in the form of a bouquet, and it is accurately descriptive of the work of some who style themselves "floral artists" — diil you ever get a first-class haircut at thi hands of a "tonsorial artist"? There is only one use for a corsage bouquet, but the occasions for its uS' are as various as the flowers of whicl it is made. ]\Iost corsage bouquets ari for street or dinner wear, but sometime- an order for wedding flowers includes : corsage bouquet of roses and valle\ This usually is worn by the mother oi the bride, but sometimes at a morninL wedding the liridesmaids wear instea' of carrying flowers.

The October 1 issue of the Lrxtlics' Home Journal is (iesignuted as "The Marriage Number," and one of its fea- tures is a page of brides' bouquets and wedding llovvers from designs by (Jharles Thorley, New York. As the .lournal has something over a million circulation, such publicity is sure to add to the demand for llower accessories for weddings, but an even more im- [)ortant result will be the education of the public taste to demand better things. The florist wlio wishes to keep in step with the times must keep him- self informed on the progressive excel- lence of arrangements of wedding flow- ers and must be prepared to give his customers advice and service in keep- ing with the most advanced ideas. THE QUESTION OF CREDIT. rriie .sulistiinci' (if an iiitiTvicw \\ itli one of tlio lr:idi's Icadinj; nianajjors of credit. ] The florist is an expert in growing plants and flowers. He thoroughly un- derstands their needs, gives them what they re(piire, and jiroduces results that are oftlimes marvelous. The iloral artist understands the arrangement of colors and foliage, the selection of bloom, the making uj) of designs, and their relative vahie. Hut it sometimes haj)pens that what may be called the business knowledge of his profession is not clearly understood by the florist. Unfortunately, a business-college educa- tion was not considered part of the nec- essary training some years ago and all that many of our florists know of busi ness metliods lias been picked up here and there. I'rior to about 1S9G half-yearly settle- ments were in vogue among florists. It was understood that all bills for tl 3 half year were due on the flrst day of .lanuary and on the first day of duly, cash discounts being given to those who paid more promptly. As the volume of busi- ness grew and business methods became better understood, this system, or perhaps want of system, of payment was out- grown. No one doing a business of any extent could pay his salary list and other obligations promptly while giving six montlis' credit. Outside interests demanded j)rompt i);>yment; they laughed at the idea of waiting six tnontlis; they must have their money |>romptly o/ they did not want our business. So about fourt(>en years ago this was changed; accounts for ])lants, s<'cds an most important of tliex- is that of meeting oblig;ilions when due. A florist wotild not dream of sending an order the day after it was recpiired, yet he tliinks nothing of failnn^ to nicer his obligations wlien ilue. it Ncems to him a satisfactory excusi' to say th.'it he has not the money, but how will that excuse help pay the other fellow's sal ary list? M:iny florists regard the bank with awe; they feel that to say to the bank that tlie'v want money is a dis- grace, vet that is exactly the purpose Corsage Bouquet of Roses and Valley. for which the banks are cuiidiict ri|. or rather one of the mo-t inijiorlant pur poses.

A stntcnicnl of condi- tions is made to the bank and. it' satis factory, a four months' loan is elVected that will f.-ill due at Ivister.

Take, for instance, the case of a house with a s.alary list (d' +L'.."')(iil each week. To meet this salary list it has obligations 12 The Weekly Florists' Review* September 29, 1910. coining due this week. Of these obli- gations several fail and ask for more time. Thus the money that must be raised for the salary list is not forth- coming. Can it reasonably be expected that these buyers will be given credit in future? Consider how the restriction of cred- its helps the honest florist. It prevents the beginner from buying large quanti- ties of stock and, it may be, under- selling the man with an established business before he has proven himself worthy. It prevents the unscrupulous from obtaining for nothing that for which the conscientious buyer must pay. Thus restriction of credits proves a di- rect benefit to all legitimate business. The business success of the florists today must depend largely on foresight; the ability to see far enough ahead to know whether the money will be ready when the bills come due is of paramount importance. The faithful promisor, who promises and pays not, cannot hope to compete in the race with the man who meets his obligations when they are due.

Azaleas which were planted out in the field in early summer must now be lifted and potted. A light freeze will not injure the flower buds, but it is much better not to run any risks. Re- duce the balls with a sharp-pointed hardwood stick so that they will go in as small pots as possible. A com- post of three parts loam, one part leaf- mold and a good dash of sharp sand will suit the plants. Any manure used must be old and thoroughly decayed. The old idea about peat being a neces- sity for successful azalea culture has been long ago exploded. Be sure to work the soil well around the sides of the pots and ram it firmly, so as to leave no open spaces. Soak well with water and stand outdoors in the full sun until threatened frost compels their removal indoors. The best place to store them is a pit, where they can get sufficient light and where frost can be excluded without any resort to fire heat, unless it be in zero weather. Spray the plants freely for a week or two. Ericas. Ericas make more roots than azaleas when planted outdoors and the balls will need more reducing in order to get them in pots of moderate size. A compost in which they are found to grow remarkably well consists of equal parts of fibrous loam and leaf-mold, to which is added some sand and well decayed cow manure passed through a fine mesh screen. It is not possible to press the soil around the pots too firmly. All hard-wooded plants should have the soil rammed hard. While ericas planted out make much stronger growth than when pot grown, the lat- ter make buds earlier and prove bet- ter for Christmas flowering. E. melan- thera is the best all-around sort. Lift- ed plants may wilt a little on hot days, to counteract which they should be kept well sprayed. They are better kept outdoors as late as possible. Callas. A good many grow callas in beds or benches, but quite a number of small growers giMrtJlfJMtem ii£!.'pot8, which are., stood outdoors in a sunny spot. It is better not to risk these outdoors much longer. They will make better headway under glass and will not be subjected to soddening rains, which we usually get at this season. Keep the surface soil well stirred and the plants will grow all the faster for it. Do not use any liquid manure for some time yet. Lorraine Begonias. Lorraine begonias will now require stakes. These should be light and not rise above the growths. If they are green, they will never be noticed at all. It is absurd growing a lot of nice plants and, as blooming time ap- proaches, neglecting giving them sup- port. Of course, as hanging specimens, supports are not needed, but the vast majority are not grown in this way. Where the earliest batch has the pots well filled with roots, weak liquid ma- nure applied every fourth watering will prove helpful. Do not give it to any which are not well rooted. It will only help to sour the soil and make the plants sickly. A temperature of 58 to 60 degrees at night will grow Lorraines well. When in bloom, they are better 10 degrees cooler. The cooler house makes the blooms have more substance. As growth now is rapid, the plants will need more frequent spacing, and it is a good plan to elevate the larger specimens well. Eucharis Amazonica. Where a Christmas crop of Eucharis Amazonica is wanted, the plants, whether in beds or pots, should be rest- ed until the middle of November. Do not withhold water entirely at once, and do not let the plants at any time become so baking dry as to lose much of their foliage. A lower temperature, say 50 degrees at night, is better for the plants while they are being rested. When the time comes to start them up, a soaking of warm water, some bottom heat and 70 degrees at night will bring the spikes along in season for the holi- days. Nerines and Amaryllis. Nerines, which have been baking in the sun on their sides since last May. should now be examined. The spikes will be found pushing. up .freely from the earlier and stronger varieties, like Pothergilli major and corusca. Any top-dressing should now be given and the plants placed in a cool, airy house. It is unwise to repot nerines until they becom.e much matted and the bulbs overcrowded. They never bloom satis- factorily until the pots are a veritablt network of roots. Amaryllis Belladonna is also now pushing its flower stems. It is hardly ever seen commercially, although its beautiful pink flowers, which have a delicious perfume, should sell on sight. This amaryllis wants the same baking as the nerines. It also needs much larger pots. Southern growers can do this well outdoors, but those in the north 'either have to grow it planted out in protected brick frames or in pots. Mignonette. Many growers have already had re- course to fire heat. This is especially necessary where roses and colored- leaved plants of a tropical nature are grown. On such crops as mignonette there will, of course, be no need to use it for some time yet. The house, if up to 40 or 42 degrees in the morning, is sufficiently high and air should be left on about all the time, both night and day. The green worms have been unusu- ally troublesome on the foliage. Close hand-picking has, however, prevented much damage being done to the foliage. As there is little demand for mignon- ette before colder weather, it is better to let the plants run up, so as to show flowdr, and then head them back well. This will allow three or four shoots to start from near the base. These will give fine spikes, if the soil, tem- perature and other conditions are right. Just as soon as time will permit run the wires and cross strings along the beds to keep the stems straight. Mi- gnonette with crooked stems no one wants. Brief Beminders. House and start a batch of Paper White narcissi, now that the flats are full of roots. Formosa lilies above ground, if placed in a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees at night, will start flowering in Jan- uary and follow Harrisii nicely. Stake any cosmos being grown in boxes or pots securely. Rain and wind storms will raise havoc with them oth- erwise. One of the finest hardy flowers now in season is Anemone Japonica alba. If you are not growing It, make up your mind to do so another year. For floral work it is invaluable. Continue transplanting any late per- ennials or biennials. These grow rip- idly at this season and there are still several weeks in which they can make growth. OIGANTEUM FOB EASTEB. Will you kindly tell me the proper time to start gig nteum lilies for Easter 1911? P. N. D. Pot the bulbs of giganteum any time during the month of October, or up un- til the middle of November. Easter comes next year quite late, April 16. In growing them you want to get them along so as to see buds by the first week i - in March. C. W. ■' SamuBBB 29, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review, 18 FAIEy EING. Will you pleaso let me know what is the trouble with my carnations? I have never before seen them act in this way. The buds seem to dry up when they are small. Some get a little larger, but get a ring arQund them or turn yellow in the top. The varieties are Enchant- ress and White Enchantress. The plants seem to be in good health, for they are growing fast. They were planted dur- ing the first two weeks in August. TheTe is a good lot of horse manure in the soil. Can that be a reason for the trouble? The soil is medium heavy. H. E. Y. The nature of the disease which is causing your trouble is easily detected. You have a case of fairy ring on your hands. It was most likely caused by the too liberal use of stable manure, per- haps coupled with too much syringing. This would produce a humid atmosphcfrc which is just to the liking of all these fungous diseases, such as fairy ring, leaf-spot, etc. If the manure was only partly decayed, it would be worse than if. thoroughly .rotted before being added to the soil. I do not wish to give the impression that the liberal use of manure is wrong. On the contrary,' it is necessary that you enrich your soil well if you want high grade stoiek. It is essential, how- ever, that the manure be in a proper state of decomposition when you appiy it. It should first pass through that state of termentatioa during which il loses its heat and rankness, after which we term it spent manure. Then it is safe to use. If you will get busy at once, you can likely get your plants clean before the winter sets in, and in time to realize good returns for the season. First pick off every leaf or stem that shows a sign of the spot. To leave any of them on the plants would mean the perpetua- tion of your trouble. Burn them as soon as you take them off. Then spray liberally with Bordeaux mixture twice «ach week until you are rid of the er doz.. $2.00 16.00 Oladioii 2.00to 4.00 Valley S.OOto 4.00 DECORATIVE Asparagus Plomosas, per string .60 to .76 per bnnch .86 to .60 Sprengeri...

White Killarney shows the same betterment as the pink variety, with the additional improve- ment that color is whitening out, as a result of cooler weather.

Mr. Keimel admits that figures have been obtained, but states that the addition may not go up until a year hence; it depends among other things on how the market runs in the next few weeks. C. L. Washburn says the radius with- in which Chicago flowers are sold cer- tainly shows no contraction. Thirteen pages of Bassett & Washburn's order book were filled September 26, and Winnipeg and Fort Worth, Detroit and Omaha were entered there, with many towns between. John P. Risch, of Weiland & Risch, reports that lightning struck the 75- foot brick stack of Charles Schwind at Evanston on the morning of September 24, splitting it exactly in half. One- half the stack was scattered over the glass, which is devoted to vegetables, while the other half was left standing, to be pulled down by the fire depart- ment. E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., tells some interesting tales of the great crowds at Montreal during the Euchar- istic congress. Robert Northam says George Rein- berg's range is coming into heavy crop again. George Perdikas now operates three flower stores, and is handling large quantities of stock.

PETER REINBERG, 35 Randolph street. Chicago Mention The Review when you write. He says Sinner Bros, already are pleased that they dropped Bride and Maid this year. A, E. Hunt & Co., Evanston, who have a stand in the Flower Growers' Market, state they were without indoor sweet peas only eight days during the summer, cutting the last of the Spencer varieties August 20 and cutting the first Christmas Fink August 28. With them the sweet pea is an all-the-year- around flower. Wietor Bros, began cutting their chrysanthemum crop last week. They are growing their usual quantity. Tim Matchen took a half hour Satur- day evening to walk through Peter Reinberg's Robey street plant, now de- voted exclusively to roses, and was well pleased with the prospects. At Kyle & Foerster's F. F. Benthey says that things are looking well at the Benthey plant at New Castle, with prospects the best they have been in years. John Kruchten takes a decidedly cheerful view of the situation, saying that business is better now than ever before at this date, and that the pros- pect for the next few months looks good to him. At J. A. Budlong's Phil Schupp says Jardine and Maryland are steadily gaining in favor. J. F. Czarnik & Co., 1514 West Chi- cago avenue, say that weddings are giv- ing them more to do than any other line of work. They report having decora- tions for seven weddings Sunday, Sep- tember 25, with three more on the following day. Burglars entered the premises of the Florentine Alabaster Co., 5 East Kinzie street, between Saturday afternoon, September 17, and the following Mon- day morning. This company manufac- tures plaster and cement fern dishes, window boxes, hanging baskets, etc., so there was little to reward the efforts of the intruders. About all that they ob- tained was several dollars' worth of stamps, a small sum of money and a few bronze novelties, but they succeeded in completely disarranging the desks in their search for valuables. Vaughan & Sperry probably have the only ice-box in the market that gets too cool in the season when no ice is required. They have an electric heater that they use to keep the box up to proper temperature in winter. At Winterson 's horticultural empo- rium it is said all departments are busy, the counter trade on bulbs having be- gun to show some signs of awakening as the result of a few cool days. Henry Van Gelder, manager of the Percy Jones business, says trade for September has been much ahead of last year, in spite of the handicap of re- modeling the building. The Chicago Rose Co. reports many inquiries from those who would pur- chase its range at Libertyville, but says no one has yet come forward with the ability to put the deal through. Among recent visitors have been Hugo Schroeter, representing B. Schroe- ter, Detroit; Mr. and Mrs. M. Kranz, Great Falls, Mont., who do a wholesale and retail business, having removed to Great Falls from Minneapolis some twenty years ago, and now making their first trip east in that time. Bowling.

The lovers of flowers and poetry who gave to Rochester the title of "The Flower City" surely had a prophetic vision. Could they return today they would see the vision grown to a great industry, covering hundreds of acres of land, and the products thereof known in almost every flower market of the country. A recent advertisement pic- tured Rochester as one of the great wholesale centers, and a day spent in the wholesale establishments leads ohe to believe the picture does not do the subject justice. ^SHIPMENTS rHERE ^ GROWERS AK» SHIPPERS T CUT FLOWERS ^^ 69 WABASH AYE. ^^^ |it»^^ CHICAGO ^OMECENTRH- IHHEDMTE^ DELIVERIES CURRENT PRICE LIST Beauties « special per doz., $4 00 Long " tJ.50to :{.00 Medium , ■' 1.50 to 2.00 short " .T.iU) 1.2."i Per 100 KJllamey, ) .Special.. $10 00 WHite Killarney, I Fancy ..$6 00 to 8.00 My Maryland, f Medium. 4 on to 5.00 Richmond, i Short... 2 00 to 3.00 Carnations select 2.00 to 3.00 " common 1.50 Mums, fancy 2.50 to 3.(i0 medium 1.50to '2.00 \'i olpts Lilies < Valley $3.00 to AspHraKus Plumosus, per string, .60 to per bunch, .35 to Sprengeri, " .26 to Adiantum per 100,^. .75 to Smiiax per doz., $1.50 Mexican Ivy perl' 00. 6 50 Ferns per 10 0, 1.50 Galax perlOoO. 1.25 Leucothoe Sprays Per 100 $ 1.00 15.00 4.00 .75 .50 .50 1.00 12.00 .75 .20 .15 .75 Subject to Market Changes Mention The Review when -'ou write. Asters are the principal flowers com- ing in just at present, and the great quantities received lead one to ask, "Where do they come from and where do they go?" Well, they come from all over western and central New York, and they go to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and other prom- inent wholei^ale centers. The asters grown in the immediate vicinity of Rochester bring somewhat higher prices than those from other points, possibly because this locality is particularly adapted to growing asters, but more likely the local growers give more care to their plants, thus securing better flowers. Prices for asters ranged last week from 75 cents to $1 per hundred for good stock, and exitra fine brought a little more. The retail price rlins from Septbmbbb 20, 1910.

Keller's Sons recently displayed in their windows on Clinton avenue, north, a great bouquet of Boltonia as- teroides. The white flowers against a background of green made a most artistic display — one that caused many favorable comments. The annual blessing of the graves at Holy Sepulcher cemetery occurred Sun- day, September 25. For days previous thousands of flowers were carried to this great cemetery, almost every grave having a small bouquet, while some were literally covered. This ceremony always brings a strong demand for cut flowers, and florists in the immediate neighborhood of the cemetery have had no difficulty in disposing of their stock at good prices. H. B.

The Rising Eastern Market. The tropical weather that has pre- vailed during part of the current week, September 22 to 28 inclusive, has dis- couraged the equinox and the florists alike. People do not become enthusi- astic over flowers when the mercury is doing lofty climbing. Despite the trying conditions, the market bears up well. There are too many flowers railroaded by the torrid weather and the quality suffers, yet there is no question that the volume of business is increasing week by week. The dahlia continues the most impor- tant flower on the list. The absence of rain and the increase of heat has short- ened the stems and opened the flowers too rapidly. The power of the market to absorb dahlias is noteworthy. Sep- tember 24 more dahlias, and many more, could have been used in certain whole- sale houses had they been obtainable in time. The demand is discriminating. Choice varieties, well grown and dis- budded, sell in quantity at advanced prices. There is more waste in the poorer varieties and among short- stemmed flowers. The aster is pretty nearly over and the gladiolus is not much in evidence, though both are obtainable. Roses are increasing in numbers, though the hot weather retards' improvement in qual- ity. Violets do not stand the heat at all. Valley is fine, but in oversupplj'. Easter lilies are in demand. Cattleyas are strengthened by the arrival of labiata, but there is little demand for them. The first new crop sweet peas have come, rather short in stem as yet. Indications point to a heavy supply of sweet peas this fall and winter. Decid- ed improvement is noted in the divine flower; the Wards have been joined in the fancy class by select Enchantress, Beacon, Winsor and O. P. Bassett, while the ordinary class are more numerous and a little longer stemmed. The price holds up well. An overfed market is counterbalanced by the sad havoc wrought by stem-rot. Chrysanthemums have arrived in all colors. Fine Golden Glow are more numerous; white is rep- resented by October Frost, extraordi- narily early this season in contrast to the weather, and pink by Marquis Montmort. Their arrival is timely, as but a few days now intervene before the first October weddings. Oak sprays are fine and popular. The Annual Meeting. Preparations have been made that will make the annual meeting of the Florists' Club, to be held in Horticul- tural hall Tuesday evening, October 4, of more than usual interest. There will be the election of officers to serve for the ensuing year (all the present officers have been renominated without opposition); there will be re- freshments to add to the sociability, and, crowning feature of all, the in- defatigable J. Otto Thilow, chairman of the essay committee, announces that Richard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md., will deliver an illustrated lecture on "Holland and Its Bulbs." This will be delivered in the lecture room, on the floor above the club room. It will be Mr. Vincent's first appearance before the club and the first time that he has delivered this illustrated lecture. Bet- ter come. The Oak Lane Shop. Howard W. Garrett has opened his flower shop in Oak Lane, the first of its kind in that pretty suburb of Philadel- phia. During opening week Mr. Gar- rett had his store beautifully decorated with palms, ferns, greens and artificial air plants; the visitors declared it was one of the most attractive shops in the city. Mrs. Garrett entertained all visitors at their home, which was pleas- ing with the many palms and cut flowers. All the visitors received china swans as a remembrance of the occa- sion.

These, with a few small ferns scattered between, made a most attractive show. J. J. Habermehl's Sons had a win- dow which was simplicity itself. A large, low basket of Dreer's White dahlia was on the right, Orange King showed up splendidly in the center, with Jack Rose on the left. With some autumn foliage, this dahlia window showed up to advantage. Frank L. Polites used goldenrod and double and single dahlias to attract passers-by. H. H. Battles had made one of his large windows into a picture. He had a beautiful wide gold frame to fit the glass, with velvet for the sides, bottom and back. One beautiful white vase was in the center, with .just enough Easter lilies to make each one seen. A cattleya was carelessly laid on the vase's pedestal, which added greatly to this charming picture. The Century Flower Shop window was of filled twig baskets of dahlias, which makes them as attractive as growing plants. Charles Henry Fox had a unique show, as usual. He had a picnic basket filled with large white grapes and a bottle, with Lyndhurst dahlias in all the nooks. It was most pleasing. A jar of single dahlias set on black velvet behind a mission frame was worthy of notice. One window was entirely de- voted to "our way of sending flowers." One placard giving Mr. Fox's advice about sending flowers said: "Don't send yellow flowers to a blond; they are better suited for a brunette." The Chestnut street shops favored dahlias and asters for their openings. Some Dahlia Ideas. Apropos of the dahlia show of Henry F. Michell Co. this week Maurice Fuld, whose record in Boston has earned him an enviable reputation, was inter- viewed on the subject. Mr. Fuld's idea is that the Philadelphia dahlia lover is restricted in his varieties by the needs of the flower market. He thinks there are many beautiful but not free flower- ing or self colored varieties that would be a revelation to dahlia growers here. He hopes to prove that these choice varieties can be grown under climatic and soil conditions existing here and, should they succeed, to introduce them. When asked as to the types of these dahlias Mr. Fuld smilingly replied that those who walk want show dahlias, those who drive want cactus dahlias, while the motorists demand decorative and peony-flowered varieties. The second annual dahlia show given by the Henry F. Michell Co., 1018 Mar- ket street, opened September 27. Two hundred fine flowers of the best varie- ties were staged, shaped boxwood giv- ing a pretty background. Garden and greenhouse requisites were shown to their best advantage. The company gave prizes to gardeners who wished to ex- hibit. Robert J. Morrow, gardener to Geo. I. Bodine, of Chestnut Hill, won first for twelve varieties. Wm. Robert- son, gardener to J. W.

Mention The Review when you write. DAYTON, O. The Market. Last week was a big week in this city, it being the week of the fall fes- tival and industrial exposition, which brought thousands of people into town from all over the state, and while some lines of business reaped a great harvest aJB a result, the florists, in comparison, (lid not fare so well. There was not much doing outside of funeral work, while a limited amount of short- stemmed stock was used by some of the exhibitors, and given away as sou- venirs. Stock is coming along finely, however, ;^d crops are good; while not overabun- (ftint, still sutficient to keep the cus- tomers' wants supplied. Roses of all varieties, American Beauties included, are coming in fine — good size, stem and foliage, but My Maryland, Kaiserin and Rhea Reid appear to be the most pre- ferred varieties. Carnations, while as yet quite scarce, are of good quality, Enchantress and dark pink sorts being more plentiful than white. The supply of giganteums is also good at present, and the demand keeps up splendidly. The demand for valley is fair. Various Notes. The Dayton florists who arranged floats for the opening parade of the festival were the Heiss Co. and the Ad- vance Floral Co., the first Tiamed being successful in capturing the third prize, with a float that was artistically deco- rated with palms and decorative plants, while as a centerpiece they used a large urn filled with various kinds of plants. The float of the Advance Floral Co. was also skillfully arranged, carry- ing out the idea of a wedding party be- fore the altar. On the afternoon of September 21 an automobile parade was given, in which some ninety cars took part, all gayly decorated in many difl'erent styles and in all kinds of flowers, this being the first parade of its kind in this city. It was quite a success. The Dayton Floral Co. had some part in this, as it was their privilege to decorate a couple of the autos. Warren G. Matthews had a booth in the Exposition building that attracted much attention. The entire center was formed by an immense bank of palms and bay trees. There were all sorts of flowers, and Mr. Matthews was award- ed first premium for his roses, gladioli, cannas and many other flowers.

There were exhibits of green- house material, heating apparatus and irrigating systems. However, the real, live issue of the convention was a dis- cussion in reference to the discrimina- tion of railroad and express companies. It is expected that as a result an appeal will be made to the Interstate Com- merce Commission to investigate exist- ing conditions, and if possible remedy them. G« ^' C. Buffalo, N.

W. Waid, of New Carlisle, Ohio, presi- dent of the national organization, at the third yearly convention, which opened at Grand Rapids, Mich., September 27. To an audience of nearly 200, includ- ing a number of women. President Waid said in part: "The man who makes a practice of placing the best vegetables on top of the basket, box or barrel and the inferior stock on the bottom is in- juring himself more than others. The association should expel from its mem- bership anyone who follows this harm- ful and deceitful practice. "We should demand a fair share of the consumer's dollar. Overproduction and underconsumption arc sometimes causes for low prices. But when the consumer pays $1 for something which the grower sells for 30 cents we know there is something wrong. Too many middlemen, dishonest dealers and high transportation rates are some of the reasons for the great difference between the price which the grower gets and that which the consumer pays. ' ' Better methods in grading and pack- ing are necessary. Cleanliness, uniform- ity both of package and contents, neat- ness and attractiveness are often neg- lected. We have much to learn in this respect. Vegetables displayed in many grocery stores and markets are not only unattractive but unsightly." The speaker urged the use of better seeds and advocated the association 's help in that regard. He also advised legitimate advertising and the better- ment of distribution methods. Referring to legislation affecting vegetable grow- ers. President Waid advocated the ap- pointment of a permanent legislative committee. "Fruit growers have been asking help from the agricultural ex- periment stations," said lie, "for years and received it. Vegetable growers have not been as free to ask such help, and they have received according to their requests. This association should en- courage vegetable growers to ask for more aid from these stations. ' ' In his annual report Secretary S.

One of the most important questions will relate to transportation. The north- ern growers claim that they are discrim- inated against by the railroads and ex- l)ress companies; that the rates from the south to the north are lower than from the north to the south, and that this discrimination places them at a dis- advantJigc.

Pres.. E. L. Page, Greene, N. Y.; First Vice-pres., L. H. Vaughan, Chicago; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendal, Cleveland, O. The Elliott Nursery Co., Pittsburg, Pa., is preparing to establish a seed de- partment. A Ventura grower writes that the Henderson Bush limas are scattering out, entailing an appreciable loss. The seed trade at Kansas City is re- ported increasing at an extremely r.apid rate ; possibly more rapidly than at points east of the Mississippi, The bean growers have not been pleased with the recent weather — too cloudy and cool to assist materially in the maturing of the crop. Vine seed crops will not be up to the average, for there is a great deal of difference in what different fields, even in the same neighborhood, will turn out. It is reported ninety per cent of the corn crop in Iowa has been made, with the probability tliat in other sections an equal proportion of the crop is beyond frost injury. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has issued a bulletin. No. 415, entitled "Seed Corn," by C. P. Hartley, physiol- ogist in charge of corn investigations in the Bureau of Plant Industry. H. Frank Darkow states that Alfred Emerich, representing Vilmorin, Andri- eux & Co., Paris, France, is expected to arrive in New York about October 1, on his annual visit to the American seed trade. Later reports from the lima bean dis- trict of California state that the big rain of September 14 and 15 was fol- lowed by good drying weather and the damage to the crop has not been as large as it was feared it might be. Bulb merchants note that an excep- tionally large number of small importa- tions are coming in this year, lots of just a few cases consigned through custom house brokers to bulb forcers who never before have made direct importations. It appears that through travelers and by mail orders the Holland exporters added considerably to their list of customers this season. LEONARD SEED CO.

The Board of General Appraisers, September 22, in a decision by Judge Waite, handed down decisions placing constructions on the provisions in the tariff act of 1909, relating to bulbs of various kinds. The Leonard Seed Co., Vaughau's Seed Store and G. W. Shel- don & Co. appeared as protestants in cases affecting the classification of hya- cinth bulbs. The customs authorities had assessed the bulbs under paragraph 263 of the Payne tariff, which provides for ' ' hj-acinth, astilbe, dielytra, and lily of the valley clumps." This classifica- tion called for a duty of $2.50 per thou- sand bulbs, whereas the importers con- tended that the merchandise should be admitted at only 50 cents a thousand under the last clause of the same para- graph as, ' ' all other bulbs cultivated for their flowers or foliage." Judge Waite followed the decision in the Breck case, published in The Review of August 25, and overruled the protests. Judge Waite also overruled a protest S. M. ISBELL & CO. JACKSON, MICH.

Most Harrisii bulbs are sold on the strength of what qualities Har- risii possessed long ago. The risic now is entirely too great to bother with them. They may come good but most probably not; that is, they are not apt to average well as compared with other bulbs for less money. It is a certain specula- tion to buy them. You will find that Lilium Formosum and Qigan = teum will give much better results for early and late flowering. Why should you buy an uncertain bulb when you can buy for the same money or less a bulb known to be superior in every way to Harrisii? Write for prices on Horseshoe Brand For- mosum and Giganteum.

The volume of stock is not as large as it was, owing to the passing of the summer flowers. Fall openings and weddings are taking up many of the blooms. The roses are becoming finer every day. The cool nights have helped the shipping, and they all arrive in first- class shape. Practically all sizes and varieties find a call. Beauties were especially in request for decorative work. Some choice carnations are available in the market. This flower seems to be rounding into form sooner than in other years. l)ahlias are in oversupply. Eas- ter lilies are offered. Cosmos arrives daily in large quantities. A few single violets were on sale last week. The supply of green goods is ample, the ((uality excellent. Various Notes. L. H. Kyrk is getting in some fine Maid and Richmond roses and Harrisii lilies. Chris. Herb, of Mount Healthy, has some excellent young pansy plants. He selects his seed from the largest and best blooms. Max Rudolph had a large decoration last week, in which he used an espe- cially large number of Beauties, fur- nished by E. G. Gillett, besides other decorative flowers and material. Albert Sunderbruch served on the committee at the exposition the day President Taft was here. Mrs. William Sunderbruch is visiting friends in Minnesota. Gustav Meier, of the Hyde Park Rose Co., is visiting a brother in Knoxville, Tenn. He is also doing the Appalachian exposition there. Tom Windram has gone to Grand Rapids, Mich. Later he will join Will- iam Murphy at Snow Islands. William Gear and Frank Hunstman have re- turned from the latter place. S. D. Green, representing H.

Ji^' Boston and all TVew £nElaiid PointH. BAB HABBOB, ME. At A. C. Gurnee's, where Charles L. Shand is superintendent, the flower garden has been largely increased in size since our previous visit, and the way many of the plants were blooming was a complete revelation to us. One long perennial border had a back row of Aconitum Napellus eight to nine feet high, and Eudbeckia Golden Glow. In front of these came delphiniums and Aconitum bicolor; then came pink and white phloxes and a bordering of giant white candytuft. Sweet peas were clothed with dark green foliage to the ground, and caused President Harry Turner, of the American Sweet Pea Society, to remark that it was at Bar Harbor where the society should meet to see sweet peas. Certainly they are never seen of such quality on the main- land. Dahlias here were a mass of bloom, one double scarlet show variety, a seed- ling of Mr. Shand 's raising, being a blaze of color. Pentstemons were grand; so were many other annuals. Pretty beds noted were: Swainsona galegifolia alba, edged with Lobelia WILLIAM J. SMYTH FLORIST Cor.

An influential deputation representa- tive of the florists of the Province has waited on Premier McBride and Deputy Minister W. E. Scott, of the depart- ment of agriculture, for the purpose of urging that in the appointment of a new- member to fill the existing vacancy on the board of horticulture, a florist should be selected. Several other mat- ters were also informally discussed, and the deputation received an assurance by the premier that the subject matter of their representations would be given oarly consideration by the minister. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. Business conditions are improving with a rapid stride. Autumn is evidenced on all sides and the return of the people tiom the resorts has enlivened thintrs generally. Asters remain the chief flower for general work, yet the recent rains shortened the better grades Carnations are becoming more plentiful but are far from the standard. Roses are normal in quantity and quality in spite of mildew, which has been pre- valent on all sides and is one of the worst enemies of the rose in this sec- tion. Mums are more abundant, Monrovia and October Frost being added to the iist The market is about cleaned out of large fancy ferns; the unusual de- mand caused the shortage. Violets have made their appearance, but thov are scarce. we^r*'" ^^"'''^"^ ^"« i" town last The Routledge Seed & lloral Co. was represented at the state fair at Salem last week with a display of field-grown dahlias. ^. B. Healv had charge Clarke Bros, have just issued their bulb catalogue, containing manv new features in plant life. E. B. C. SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. The Market. The weather now shows the approach of the cooler season and stock is generally of better color and sub- stance than it has been. Asters are about out of season and the outside mums are daily becoming more plentiful and cheaper. Speak- ing of asters, it is with regret that we see their finish for the year, as they have filled in nicely and tided over the time when carnations and roses were scarce and of j)oor quality. They were better than ever this season and the prices were low enough so that the retailers could handle them to ad- vantage. The chrysanthemum crop, from the present indications, is all right and will help out wonderfully until in- side flowers get more plentiful. If we had more rain and cool nights violets would be abundant, but until these conditions arrive we shall not have these to oflfer in quantity. The Japanese lilies are almost over and, from what the growers say, they have not been a source of much revenue this season. A few Lilium longiflorum are sent into town and move fairly well.

We are looking for a name for it. The dahlia has proved so satisfactory to us in our cut flower trade that we have discarded everything else in its class for it. Next year we will offer it in a general way for the first time and feature both in our spring catalog. Wm. C.Smith Wholesale Floral Co. Wholesale Florists 1816 Pine St.Riih L. D. PhMtsST.

Those southern nurserymen have a faculty for fixing up entertaining pro- grams for their meetings; no long, dry essays for them, just five-minute talks that serve to stir the imagination of 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 ae the foremnner of a genuinely cornflower bine roie, is a seedling of Grimaon Rambler, very vigoro,ui and hardy, and free blooming.

Business in general is improving from day to day, but no doubt the real opening for the coming season will be little felt till after the first frost. There is plenty of stock to fill all orders, but the supply of asters is gradually dimin- ishing and this vacancy is being filled by carnations. The latter are more plentiful at this time than a year ago. In mums, Golden Glow is the only one on this market thus far. There are enough Beauties and other roses to sat- isfy all, and the same can be said of gladioli. All the larger department stores had their fall openings last week, and this caused quite a demand for green goods, especially Asparagus plumosus strings. Various Notes. James Fox, Jr., who spent last week in the northern woods fishing and hunt- ing, returned Saturday, September 24, and, from reports, had "some" time. The C. C. Pollworth Co. is busy these days, sending bulbs in all directions. This company finds a ready sale for its daily cut of Golden Glow mums, of which there is quite a large, uniform batch. Currie Bros, had their show window neatly filled with a large^assortment of bulbs last week. A reminder of that kind ought to help increase sales. After nearly two months of remodel- ing, and with everything in its place, the salesroom of the Holton & Hunkel Co. now presents a more roomy and neat appearance. Both the August F. Kellner Co. and the Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. had their hands full with work for the fall open- ings last week. Eecent visitors were: E. Amerpohl, Janesville, "Wis.; J. E. Matthewson, She- boygan, Wis.; A. Helfrich, of the Bur- lington Floral Co., Burlington, Wis. Don't forget the Florists' Club meet- ing, Thursday, October 6. E. O. Unionville, O. — At the floral fair, held September 1 in the Congregational church, it was decided by the awarding committee that the exhibit from the Sunshine Flower Gardens outclassed all others.

The annual dahlia show, held Septem- ber 23 and 24 in Park hall, under the auspices of the Falls Dahlia Society, was a great success from every point of view. Secretary N, Harold Gotham was elated with its success, especially in consideration of the dry season. The interest taken by local exhibitors is unabated. They staged a fine assort- ment and excellent blooms. H. J. Allen, gardener to J. W. Van- derbilt, was judge of cut flowers and had no easy task. Henry Osterhoudt, gardener to W. P. Clyde, is one of the most active workers and the largest exhibitor. W. W. Eawson, Mrs. Eoosevelt, Mme. A. Lumiere, Marguerite Bouchon, Earl of Pembroke and Miss A. Beck were considered the finest in the several classes. John C. Galvin had a magnificent flaming scarlet cactus seedling, exhib- ited the second year and a blue ribbon winner. The stock has been sold to the r, R. Pierson Co. The class calling for dinner table decorations brought out three entries, a lady in each case securing a prize. The tables were quite artistic without any attempt at elaboration. James Keeley, gardener to Austin L. Sands, had a fine display of mushrooms. The prizes for asters, oflPered by the Yuess Gardens Co., of Newburgh, brought out strong competition, Mrs. John Parkman and Robt. E. Coons being winners of first prizes in each entry. Alex. A. Laub was first in the entry for brides' bouquets. There were several entries of herba- ceous plants. Henry Osterhoudt had nearly 100 varieties, all correctly la- beled. It was agreed by several visitors, who had seen both dahlia shows re- cently held in New York and Boston, that for general arrangement in staging and variety and general quality of blooms, this show reflected great credit on all concerned. M. Terre Haute, Ind. — Mr. and Mrs. John G. Heinl and their son, Fred G. Heinl, with the latter 's wife and daughter, have been making a two weeks' automobile trip through Ohio.

C, of Illinois, asks for advice on using natural gas for greenhouse heating. Here, in Indiana, twenty-five wells do not supply a town of 2,000, though a pumping station is used to force it into the town. If the wells he speaks of have no" water in them, and if there are not too many people to be supplied, probably he would not be troubled with the gas giving out in winter. A well with eighty pounds of pres- sure is considered good here, but there are few found that have a pressure of over forty pounds. Several times last winter I had to get up at midnight, go to the regulator, shovel away a snow- drift and ponr- hot water for an hour, and then I sometimes went back to bed with the gas still out of our stoves. Gas is furnished to me free of charge, and yet I will not uso it hereafter in the greenhouse. Unless the wells are strong and dry, E. C. would bettor use coal if he is looking for satisfaction. Russell Fort. CAB SHOBTAOE HAS COME. A serious shortage in soft coal con- fronts the west — Chicago in particular — according to wholesale coal dealers, as a result of the coal strike that ended recently. There is only a five days' supply in Chicago at the present • time, according to Frank S. Peabody, of the Peabody Coal Co. "This margin of supply is not liable to be increased be- yond that point for some time," he said. William O'Rourke, president of the General Collieries Co., thinks the car situation will be bad on account of the fact that much of the coal being shipped from Illinois has gone to the northwest and it will take some time to get the cars back.

If we have an early winter the sitnatron wi4I be that much worse." What the actual shortage will be is merely guesswork and none of the deal- ers interviewed would express an opin- ion as to the amoaat. . " It will largely depend on what the railroads do in the way of furnishing cars to the mines,'' said T. J. Hudson, Jr., manager of the Southern Illinois Coal Co., when asked as to the probability of a coal famine. "The strike has delayed us six months and it will be hard to overcome this handicap. Most of the mines will be operated all winter, according to pres- ent plans, but if the railroads do not supply cars this will not relieve the sitiiation. " COAL. We are indebted to Smith, Linea- weaver & Co., Philadelphia, for the following report on the coal situation in the east: "On steam sizes of anthracite coal the market is quite active, the demand having increased materially during Sep- tember.

The return of householders has largely increased the demand for domestic sizes. "In bituminous coal prices and de- mand have been unquestionably better this month. The high grade bituminous coals have been going forward in fair volume throughout the summer, but a heavier tonnage is now moving. Those who are under contract are calling on their people for practically full ship- ments, and the demand other than that, which is to say for current orders, has increased largely. The price for the lower grades of bituminous coal ia also slightly in advance of what it has been Sbptbmbeb 29, 1910.

Phil. THBEE CALIFOEtNIA HOUSES. We should be pleased to get infor- mation regarding our new heating sys- tem, on which we expect to pommence work soon. We have three houses, each 23x85 feet and twelve feet high to the ridge, with sixteen inches of glass in the sides. The houses run from north to south and are detached, with a shed running their full width at the north end. We are located in central Cali- fornia, where the temperature never falls lower than 16 degrees above zero and there is plenty of sunshine during the winter months. We have a Kroe- schell hot water boiler, nine feet long, thirty-six inches across and containing ten 4-inch flues. It is said to be large enough for good service. We propose to run a 4-inch main, raising this from the top of the boiler to the highest point and then dropping the flows gradually to the farther end of the house, where they would be connected to returns on each side. Would two 2-inch flows over- head, with three 1 14 -inch returns on each side, be suflScient to heat the houses, maintaining a temperature of 55 degrees? We wish to connect the feed pipe to return at the boiler, this pipe coming from a supply tank thirty feet high, UentioD The Review when you write. 78 The Weekly Florists' Review. Septembeb 29, 1910. with a capacity of 6,000 gallons. Would it be necessary to place a check valve on this pipe? "Will a smokestack twelve inches in diameter and thirty feet high be sufficient? The grate area of the boiler is twelve square feet. We shall use wood for fuel, with possibilities of using coal later. H. K. For the houses described, it will be satisfactory if two 2y2-inch flow pipes and nine 1 14 -inch returns are used, though seven or eight 2-inch returns would be better. The plan of connect- ing one of the returns with a stand pipe is a good one, but there should be no check valve in the pipe, unless a closed system is desired, in which case a safety valve will also be required. The size of the smoke flue will de- pend upon the quality of coal, but for a poor grade of soft coal a 15-inch chimney would be desirable. SLOW CIRCULATION. We have two houses, running north and south. Each house is 17x60 feet, ten and one-half feet to the ridge and four feet to the gutter. These houses are boarded at the sides and between the two houses. The west side of the west house contains two feet of glass. The south ends of both houses are glass. The north ends are protected by the pot- ting shed and boiler house. The heat- ing apparatus consists of a No. 4 Humber sectional boiler. The pit is only two and one-half feet deep, on account of water. A 4-inch pipe rises five feet above the boiler and then ex- tends the width of both houses. A 3-inch flow for each house is then taken from this pipe, dropping to within two feet of the floor under each of the out- side benches, with a drop of about eleven inches in the sixty feet, return- ing to the boiler in a 3-inch pipe. When we fire harder than usual, the water boils out of the expansion tank, making it necessary to fill the boiler every day. The expansion tank is six inches above the highest part of the system. We wish to maintain a tem- perature of about 50 degrees. Last win- ter the outside temperature in this part of Utah went down to zero on two occasions. I am desirous of making such changes as will remedy this un- satisfactory condition. Any informa- tion you can give will be greatly appre- ciated. W. H. When large pipe is used, and espe- cially when the returns are below the top of the heater, the circulation is slow and the trouble reported may be expected. The radiation is slightly de- ficient for zero weather, but would an- swer at 10 degrees above zero. The circulation would be improved by run- ning the 3-inch flow pipes on the plates and carrying the returns as high as pos- sible, giving each a slight fall. BOILER AND PIPING. Would you please give me some in- formation in regard to the piping of my greenhouse? It runs east and west and is 21x100 feet. The walls are four feet high and are made of cement.

Progress in Greenhouse Building. In the record of what has been ac- complished in the building trades in this city during the year, the improve- ments and extensions of greenhouses occupy an important place. It has been roughly estimated that $35,000 to $40,- 000 will have been expended by local florists in that way before the end of the season. P^ed L. Lainson, 1309 Canning street, is spending about $12,000 on his plant. He has added to his area under glass from 35,000 to 4O,00O square feet, giv- ing him a total of about 100,000 square feet. He has also remodeled his heat- ing plant and added a new boiler. \ Henry Meyer, 321 Benton street, has torn down his greenhouses, rebuilt them, enlarged them, and modernized the entire plant. The improvements will cost^ several thousand dollars. L. H. JSeams, 500 North Twenty-sixth street, has enlarged and improved his "plant at a cost of several thousand dol- lars.

Co. has been ex- tending its greenhouses near the Union Pacific transfer for several years, and this year is doing but little in this line, having brought its facilities up to a point where they are ample lor the present demands of the trade. The firm «xpe'cts, however, to make further ex- tensions next year. J. F. Wilcox has this year spent about $10,000 in further extending the area of his already large range. The busi- ness was established by Mr. Wilcox twenty-five years ago, and has grown from a small beginning until it now has €50,000 square feet of space under glass cover, a total of 150,000 square feet having been added during the present season. Until recently J. F. Wilcox has had sole supervision of the business. Now he is just completing an organization whereby his five sons will be associated with him and given a direct interest in the business, and the firm will be known hereafter as J. F. Wilcox & Sons. Eoy Wilcox, the eldest son, is the only son having active interest heretofore, and for the last two years he has relieved his father of the entire management of the wholesale, retail, sales and office departments. In speaking of the recent enlarge- ments, Mr. Wilcox said: "The im- provements and additions made this year, while extensive, are only the be- ginning of what the firm expects to do in the next few years. Last year a large tract of land was bought near Lake Manawa, and plans are under con- templation for another large plant in that part of the city. Under the new organization we expect to double our capacity within the next few years." MADISON, N. J. The Whippany River Club having been burned, our flower show progress was halted for awhile. As soon as the ■club house was burned, Dr. D. H. Mc- Alpin, who has been the moving spirit of our big show, was on hand and large- ly through his efforts and those of our ■dear old friend, Robt. D.

This is on the main fltreet from Morristown to Madison, with plenty of room for all exhibits, within 100 yards of Convent Station, with a switch almost up to the build- ing for unloading exhibits from a dis- tance.

Many boilers are built a good deal on the tea kettle plan, and use only such heat as comes in direct contact with the surfaces immediately over the fire- the rest of the heat shoots out the chimney in dollar bunches. The Burnham has the tea kettle and other forms of Cast Iron Greenhouse Boilers " beaten to a stand still." In the first place, the Burnham surfaces directly over the hottest part of the fire are not flat like the kettle, but made in a series of deep water- ways with fire channels on each side, making more than three times as much surface for the heat to strike. Then after leaving the channels, the hot gases pass up the side flue openings and travtl back and forth three times between still more waterways that grab practically all the available heat that is left. Such a boiler squeezes every available bit of he»t out of every pound of coal burned. Where Is there another such greenhouse boiler? Send for prices. Lord and Burnham Company IRYINGTON, N.

The department stores have been ad- vertising Boston ferns for sale at 10 cents and 12% cents each, and have been flooding the market with them.

This is chantecler year and, where Alice blue was the popular color last season, everything now must be in red to be strictly up-to-date. With chantecler luncheons the fad of the day, the accompanying illustration will be of special interest, showing what a resourceful retailer, and one not locat- ed in a big city at that, did when called upon with such an order. The flowers were red carnations, with ribbons to match. As it was a long table, instead of round, with seats for fourteen per- sons, it was necessary to do more than devise a centerpiece. The place of honor was occupied by a real live rooster, a bantam quite tame, in a wire cage, the top of which was decorated with car- nations, red ribbon and a toy-store rooster. As the florist said, "You can imagine the excitement when the live rooster actually crowed." At each end of the table there was a chip market basket, barnyard style, filled with red carnations, with huge bows of ribbon on the handle. The favors were the chan- tecler fans, which are to be had in any of the novelty stores, and the place cards also carried a red representation of a rooster. In this instance strawber- ries, nice ripe red ones, were the first course, and they were served in tiny market baskets, each one with a bow of red ribbon on the handle. This decoration was devised by Ed- ward Bell, of the Bell Floral Co., Frank- lin, Pa., who finds that it pays for the florist who wishes to make a name for himself in his community to study out such schemes as this and have them ready at the tip of his tongue when his customer gives him the chance to offer suggestions. CHABOE ACCOUNTS. Following the lead of a Chicago retail florist who gives rather more thought to the merchandizing end of the busi- ness than does the average proprietor of a high class store, a considerable number of retailers now are inviting their patrons to open charge accounts. It used to be the retailers' complaint that too large a proportion of the busi- ness was charged, that payments were too infrequent and that the effort should be toward cash sales. The thinking sales manager has ^discovered the fal- lacy of this idea. He has found that the effort should be to gain a large number of patrons who will carry what are known as accommodation accounts, these calling for monthly settlement, and the courtesy being granted only to those who recognize its value. Such charge accounts go a long way toward increasing sales. A large part of the flowers sent out by any first- class store are delivered to someone other than the purchaser, hence C. O. D. sales are largely eliminated and the telephone trade is cut down to the minimum unless the sales are charged. If the flower buyer can telephone his '.order, his calling cards being kept in ■^ock by the retailer, so that the cus- tomer, has nothing further to do except settle the monthly bill, his purchases will be much more frequent than if he were obliged to come in person to give his order. Anybody can see that. The department stores of the better class have accustomed large numbers of people to the use of these accommo- dation accounts. They have done two things which can be turned to the profit of the florist. In the flrst place, they do not open these accounts without first investigating the standing of the pros- pective customer.

This is chantecler year and, where Alice blue was the popular color last season, everything now must be in red to be strictly up-to-date. With chantecler luncheons the fad of the day, the accompanying illustration will be of special interest, showing what a resourceful retailer, and one not local ed in a big city at that, did when called upon with such an order. The flowers were red carnations, with ribbons to match. As it was a long table, instead of round, with seats for fourteen per- sons, it was necessary to do more than devise a centerpiece. The place of honor was occupied by a real live rooster, a bantam quite tame, in a wire cage, the top of which was decorated with car- nations, red ribbon and a toy store rooster. As the florist said, "You can imagine the excitement when the live rooster actually crowed." At each e.nd of the table there was a chip market basket, barnyard style, filled with red carnations, with huge bows of ribbon on the handle. The favors were the chan- tecler fans, which are to be had in any of the novelty stores, and the place cards also carried a red representation of a rooster. In this instance strawber- ries, nice ripe red ones, were the first course, and they were served in tiny market baskets, each one with a how of red ribbon on the handle. This decoration was devised by Ed- ward Bell, of the Bell Floral Co., Frank- lin, Pa., who finds that it pays for the florist who wishes to make a name for himself in his community to study out such schemes as this and have them ready at the tip of his tongue when his customer gives him the chance to offer suggestions. CHARGE ACCOUNTS. Following the lead of a Chicago retail Uorist who gives rather more thought to the mercliandizing end of the busi- ness than does the average proprietor of a high class store, a considerable number of retailers now are inviting their patrons to open charge accounts. Jt used to be the retailers' complaint that too large a proportion of the busi- ness was charged, that payments were too infrequent and that the effort should be toward cash sales. The thinking sales manager has discovered the fal- lacy of this idea. He has found that the effort should be to gain a large number of patrons who will carry what are known as accommodation accounts, these calling for monthly settlement, and the courtesy being granted only to those who recognize its value. Such charge accounts go a long way toward increasing sales. A large part of the flowers sent out by any first- class store are delivered to someone other tlian the ])urchaser. hence C. O. D. Miles are largely eliminated and the telephone trade is cut down to the iiiiiiinuini unless the sales are charged. If the flower buyer can telephone his order, his calling cards being kept in stock by the retailer, so that the cus- tomer has nothing further to do <'.\cept settle the monthly bill, his purchases will be much more frequent than if he were obliged to come in person to give liis order. Anybody can see that. The department stores of the better class have accustomed large numbers of people to the use of these accommo- dation accounts. They have done two tilings which can be turned to the profit of the florist. In the first place, they do not open these accounts without first investigating the standing of the pros- l)ective customer. They do not grant credit merely because it is asked. The identity of the customer is fully gone into. Where the facts are not kno-wn, he usually is asked to state his business connections and to give references, which the department store invariably looks up before delivering any goods to be charged. Having acted favorably on the application for an accommo- dation account, the department store sees to it that tlie customer understands that monthly settlement is required. A statement is mailed regularly on the (irst day of each month and if the check is not received by a certain date a polite jogger is sent. As practically everyone who would have use for a charge account with a florist already has one at the leading department store, the florist has the advantage of the educational work the larger establish- ment has done.

In this heat they will flower nicely for E;istrid perpetual. You could lift and j,ot these roses about the last part of October, but it would be inadvisable to start them before the end of the year, which would mean March before they bloomed. With stock grown in pots through the summer, you could advance this date somewhat, but it is no easy matter to flower any of these roses be- fore February. If you want pot roses early in January, it would be better to grow some teas. C. W. OUTDOOR ROSES FOR CUTTING. Can roses be grown outdoors in sum- mer for cut flowers and be salable, in central Michigan? If so, what would be the best varieties to grow? What size of plants should be used and how far apart should they be? H. H. G. In addition to the hybrid perpetual roses, whose flowering season is mostly iu tlune, the hybrid tea roses are well adapted for cutting and are persistent bloomers. Flowers of fine, salable qual ity are produced on them, if they are given a rather light but rich soil and are mulched' or w;iterod during dry woatiior. A few desirable varieties for rutting, among hybrid teas, are: Caro- line Testout, satiny rose; Killarney, bright pink; White Killarney, white, del- icately suffused with pink; Mme. Ab«l Chatenay, carmine rose, shaded salmon; Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, pearly white; Mnie. Ravary, nankeen yellow; Vis- countess Folkestone, creamy pink; Sou- venir du President Carnot, soft rose; Mildred Grant, blush white, shaded pink; Bessie Brown, creamy white; Richmond, crimson scarlet. Other perpetual blooming roses which it would pay you to grow for cutting, are: Maman Cochet, pink; Maman Cochet, white; Gruss an Teplitz, rich scarlet; Clothilde Soupert, French white, pinkish in center; Hermosa, pink; Francisca Kruger, coppery yel- low, and Souvenir de Catherine Guillot, coppery carmine, shaded orange. The last two are pure-blood teas and more tender than the hybrid teas. All the foregoing roses, in your climate, would be better lifted and stored in a cold frame just before the ground freezes, planting them out as early in the spring as the soil will allow. They could be buried outdoors and some protection laid over them, if no frames are at dis- posal. A few hybrid perpetuals which are free blooming and would be hardy in your latitude, are: Mrs. John Laing, Mrs. R. G. Sharman Crawford, Gen. Jacqueminot, Ulrich Bruuner, Frau Karl Druscliki, Mme. Gabriel Luizet, Prince Camille de Rohan, Suzanna de Rodoca nachi and Captain Hayward. Plants that are field-grown and budded or grafted on the brier or Manetti stock are much better than those on their own roots in your climate. Allow hybrid teas and tea roses eight- een inches of space each way and hy- brid perpetuals twenty-four to thirty inches. C. W. SENSATIONAL NEW SWEET PEA. Mr. liland, soiiotaiy of the Horti- cnltur;il Society at Viincouvor. ]',. C, has raised a new sweet poa that ol) sorvors fhoro regard as little short of ^oiisatioiial. It has boon nanii-d Jirninic r.laiid. The flower shown in the accoiii |i.inying illustr;ition was one of a vase of t..weho spikes exhibited at tiio rocont tlower show of the Victoria ifortii-nl tiiral Socioty. The color is pure white, l!t1,i Dyke being the seed ])aront, ( rossoil with an unknown variotv. The sjiiko shown is little more than an aver ago. several others of the vase bein<' ocpially good. The following nieasnrenionts are cali j)er, no stretching being done to in anv w;iy increase the size, the nieasuromonts being taken as the flower sloo to interest the average florist, outside "1 the sweet peas, but these were simply '-':ign,f,oent. Some .^lO varieties were OOVOBBS 6, 1010. The Weekly Florists' Review* 13 shown, all of them the latest and best. All stems under twelve inches clear of the flowers were barred, fourteen inches being near the average. Few, if any, were shown with less than four flowers. I saw several with five flowers and was told of one with six perfect blooms to one stem, but I did not see it. There was quite a collection of vases and bowls, many of the bunches being two to three feet in diameter, some of them of the most delicate colors, but they would have to be seen to be appre- ciated. For fear this may be taken as an exaggeration, I would say that Victoria has by far the most perfect climatic conditions for sweet pea growing I ever saw. It is never extremely hot and the nights are invariably quite cool. There is no rain for three or four months during the summer, but the proximity of the Pacific ocean keeps the air moist at all times. For sweet peas and Eng- lish holly this city cannot be approached. I add a list of the most serviceable colors and varieties from the collection shown. Many of the most delicate col- ors, such as Mrs. Chas. Breadmore, even here have to be protected from the sun by cheesecloth to keep from scalding: White— Etta Dyke. Pale pink — Mrs, Hardcastle Sykes, Elsie Herbert. Pink — Audrey Crier. Rose-pink — Helen Lewis. Orange — Earl Spencer; this variety meeds protection from the sun. Pale lavender — Asta Ohn. Lavender — Mrs. Chas. Foster. Red — Improved Geo. Stark, Maroon— Othello. F. B. STEM-EOT OF SWEET PEAS. Will you tell me what is the matter with the enclosed sweet pea vine? They started well and grew finely for a while. Is it damping off or something else? C. P. The sample shoot forwarded appears to have succumbed to stem-rot. The cause is difficult to determine without knowing more about the growing condi- tions. Earthing up the plants when growing is one fertile cause of stem- rot. Allowing the plants to remain too thick in the rows will frequently cause it. Let your plants be four to six inches apart and not any closer. Keep the surface soil well stirred. Keep the house well aired and the average night temperature as near 48 degrees as pos- sible. Sourness or acidity of the soil will cause wholesale dying off of the plants. Liming would correct this in some measure, but not as well now as if applied some months ago. C. W. SWEET PEAS NOT BEANCHING. I want to ask why my greenhouse sweet peas send up a stalk two or three feet high, and do not stool out. The stalks are spindly. The soil is all right. I have never had them act this way before. B. B. C. Provided your plants are not set too thickly in the row — a reasonable dis- tance would be four to six inches be- tween each plant — there is no good rea- son why they should not branch a little later on. Frequently our plants are much higher than two or three feet be- fore they commence branching. If your house is light, the rows not too close New Sweet Pea Jimmie Bland. together, and other conditions right, your peas will probably stool out all right before long. Do not let the night temperature run over 46 to 48 degrees, in order to keep the plants stocky, and give plenty of fresh air. C. W. FIELD-GROWN HYDRANGEAS. I expect to receive some of the field- grown Thomas Hogg hydrangeas a little later and wish to know whctlier I should keep them on the dry side, to allow the leaves to drop off before starting them for winter. L. A. G. You should secure and pot the hy- drangeas as soon as possible. Soak them well with water to settle the soil about the roots. Stand them outdoors as late as possible. Hydrangeas will stand considerable frost when the wood is well ripened and nutty brown in col- or, but when green and soft, with leaves (pf a (lark green color, a few degrees of frost will kill the buds and consider- able of the shoots. It is a good plan to run them a little dry, in order to ripen the wood, and they should be al- lowed to become moderately dry when stored previous to being forced. I have found that a temperature of 20 degrees above zero will completely blacken all the foliage and destroy much of the growth while in a soft state, but 25 degrees above zero will not hurt them. C. W. NAME OF PI.ANT. I am sending you under separate cover a cutting of a plant of which I should like to know the name. No one here seems to know what it is. J. H. T. The name of the plant sent is Galium Sylvostre. C. W. 14 The Weekly Florists' Review* October Q, ,1910. CLIMBINO HYDBANOEAS. , Are Hydrangea scandens and Schizo- phragma hydrangeoides of any value, and are they hardy? H. H. G. Hydrangea scandens and Schizophrag- ma hydrangeoides are similar plants. It takes a year or two to get them es- tablished, after which they make rapid .growth. It is best to let them climb up a tree on which the trunk is clear for a considerable height, and allow the plant to grow as it chooses. These are beautiful climbers and when once seen in good flower they are not easily forgotten. They have withstood a minimum temperature of 20 degrees be- low zero near Boston, Mass., and some fine specimens are to be seen in New England, although some writers have claimed they would not stand a lower temperature than zero. W. C. 'SAI.AAM. '-it' W. Blenjthgen, Jr., is well known in the New Yjcffk market, where he makes his headquarters with Moore, Hentz & Nash, and anyone passing his p^a,ce at Hudson Heights, N. J., would knoiir that he is a Masonic enthusiast as well as a skillful florist. The accompanying illus- tration shows Mr. Blenthgen, the ends offtrtwme; of .his greenhouses and thp Mafloaic design in carpet bedding which attracts much attention and illustrates how any grower with a small piece of ground can assert his individuality and make his place known to all who see it. SCOVELL'S HYDRANGEA. The accompanying illustrations show a plant of Hydrangea paniculata grand- iflora growing on the grounds of W. C. Scovell, a well-known florist at Malta,. 0. One of the pictures shows the plant in bloom, with Mr. Scovell standing; near. The other picture illustrates Mr. Scovell 's method of pruning. The plant is ten years old, but he cuts back to but one bud each year. That this gives him good results is shown by the appearance of the plant in bloom. Don't Delay Unpacking. The bulk of Holland grown bulbs are now to hand, or will be within a few days. Probably quite a number of the earlier kinds are already in boxes or pans and making roots, but the average grower, who does not spe^iajize in the purely forcing varieties, ia usually con- tent to get his bulbs in the soil some- time during the month of October. It is not a good plfln to delay planting. The sooner the bulbs are in the soil the better they will do. They speedily lose their strength if left for weeks tied up in paper bags in a dry shed or store- room. If they cannot be planted as soon as received, they can at least be unpacked, laid out in boxes and stood in a cool, dry room until .wanted. Tulips. La Eeine (Queen Victoria) remains the single tulip par excellence for forc- ing purposes, more of it being grown for market, prooably, than of all other forc- ing tulips combined. Those who man- aged to secure their bulbs extra early may secure some flowers for Christmas, but, as a rule, stems are pretty short on them. The color of this tulip, when forced, is particularly pleasing, the light rose shading over the white being just the color the public likes. This tulip makes a smaller bulb than the majority, and a flat 4x12x24 will hold 100 comfortably. Yellow Prince is the best of the inex- pensive yellows, and is sweetly scented; King of the Yellows costs a trifle more, but is a fine, deep, pure yellow. In orange shades Thomas Moore is excel- lent. It also possesses a delightful odor. Cottage Maid retains its popularity as a moderate-priced pink. Those fine varieties, Pink Beauty and Queen of the Netherlands, are coming down in price, and by another season should be within everyone's reach. They are by all odds the finest of their color. Proserpine, carmine rose, will not stand bard forcing; it makes a big flower and lasts well. Beds are in less demand than other colors. Cramoiae Brilliant, deep carmine, and Couleur Cardinal^ rich crimson, atp. both good and moderate in price. The well known Keizerkroon, scarlet and yellow, is one of the showiest and most charming of early tulips. The number of useful double commer- cial tulips is limited. Of these Crown of Gold (Couronne d'Or) and Murillo, bliish, shading to rose, are in most de- mand. Yellow Tournesol, yellow, shad- ed orange, is another kind worthy of a trial. If high colors are in demand, Imperator rubrorum, scarlet, and Eex rubrorum, crimson scarlet, are the best to grow. The double varieties cannot be forced as early as the singles. When it comes to really long and strong-stemmed tulips, the later flower- ing sorts are far the best. A few of these are worth growing in flats for the last cutting. They can, with proper retarding quarters, be held back until the end, of April or even later. The following varieties are all first-class sellers and reasonable in price: Bouton d'Or, yellow; Gesneriana major, brilliant scarlet; Gesneriana lutea, superb yellow; Picotee, white, penciled cerise; Golden Crown, yellow,, edged red; White Swan, pure white. Among the Darwins one or two superb sorts are: Glow, crimson scarlet; Gretchen, soft blush; Clara Butt, beau- tiful salmon pink'; Farncombe Sanders, orange scarlet; May Queen, rosy pink. Hyacinths. The demand for hyacinths is not what it used to be. Neither for forcing nor bedding do they compare with tulips or narcissi in popularity. The Hollanders are keenly alive to the decline in sales of hyacinth bulbs, and have been trying Blenthgen's Maionic Bedding. OCTOBIjB 6, lOlQ. The Weekly Florists" Review* 16 W. C. Scovell and His Hydrangea. to repopularize them by planting beds of them quite thickly for mass effects at various exhibitions. Where flowers for cutting only are wanted, second size bulbs answer perfectly well, while the miniature size seems to be growing in favor year by year. As a general rule, named kinds are not used, but where some fine spikes are wanted the follow- ing are strictly first-class sorts to grow: Gertrude, pink; Garibaldi, carmine; King of the Blues, dark blue; Queen of the Blues, light blue; Czar Peter, por- celain blue; La Grandesse, pure white; Baroness Van Thuyll, white, primrose eye; City of Haarlem, deep yellow. The foregoing are all single varieties. The doubles are of little value for either forcing or bedding. For culture in glasses, select the finest bulbs. Use soft water and place a piece of charcoal in it to keep it fresh. Do not let the water quite touch the bulb at any time. If at any time the water shows signs of stagnation, change it at once. After the bulbs are placed in the glasses, the latter should be stood in a cool, dark and dry place until the roots have pushed to the bottom of the glasses and the tops are grown a couple of inches. Then they can gradually be inured to light. Narcissi. Both narcissi and tulips are adapt- able to culture both in pans and flats. Many country florists have a consider- able sale for pans of each, and practi- cally all the narcissi do well treated in this way. The big bulbed sorts, like Emperor, Victoria and Empress, need larger pans than the other sorts. They will do in 8-inch size, but 10-inch will serve them much better. There are a few narcissi which no florist can well get along without. Of these Golden Spur ranks high, it being the finest of the large golden yellow trumpet sorts for forcing. Trumpet Major or single Von Sion comes in somewhat earlier. Emperor, with its heavy foliage and im- mense flowers, forces well and makes a good successional variety. Victoria, with its clear yellow trumpet and white perianth, is the finest of the bicolor sec- tion. This variety does splendidly in pans, and the stems, being extra stiff, do not fall over, as some kinds are lia- ble to do. Empress is a much better sort than Horsfieldii, but not equal to Victoria. In double varieties Von Sion is al- ways in great demand. It is difficult to understand why it is so popular, as the flower is coarse as compared with the singles, but it ships well and withstands rough usage. A much finer double nar- cissus and one rarely seen in the market is the Sulphur or Silver Phoenix, with pale, creamy white, fragrant flowers. This cannot be forced as early, howevei;, as the old Von Sion. The medium and short trumpet nar- cissi, although mych more graceful than the large trumpet section, have not hitherto attained popularity commer- cially. Sir Watkin, Barri conspicuus, Leedsii Mrs. Langtry, Leedsii Duchess of Brabant, poeticus and poeticus orna- tus are a reliable half dozen to grow. The last named can be had in flower in January. The old poeticus, if kept back, sells finely at Easter. All the narcissi succeed well in flats containing four inches of soil. Spanish Irises. There are no finer flowers in late wiff- ter and spring than the Spanish irises, and they find a ready sale in all the large flower markets. In addition to their value for forcing, they should be far more planted outdoors, as their har- diness is unquestioned and their low. price places them within everyone's reach. These irises must not be covered with soil or ashes, as with tulips or hyacinths. They want light all the time, and to grow them successfully a maxi- mum night temperature of 50 degrees should not be exceeded. One or two splendid sorts are: Chrysolora and Ca- janus, yellow; Louise, pale blue, charm- ing; Thunderbolt, dark bronze; British Queen, pure white; Leonidas, violet blue. Gladioli. In addition to the large flowered gladi- oli, such as America, May and Augusta, the smaller flowered nanus and Colvillei sections contain many beautiful varie- ties, which, having small bulbs, can be readily grown and forced in flats, like the Spanish irises. The oldest and best known sort well adaptable for early forcing is Colvillei The Bride. Blush- ing Bride, with crimson blotches, has much greater vigor than The Bride. Probably the finest of all the nanus or cardinalis section is Peach Blossom, of a delicate pink shade. Other desirable varieties are: Mathilde, white, shaded with lavender; General Scott, light rose, red blotches; Ackermanii, salmon, flaked How Mr. Scovell Prunes Hydrangea Paniculata. 14 The Weekly Florists^ Review* October G, 1910.

Y. — Interest in the seoond annual flower show of the Albany Flo- rists' Club, to be held in the state ar- mory, November 10 to 12, is steadily in- creasing. At a recent meeting of the society, Wm, C. Gloeckner reported that he had interviewed some of the officers of the Chamber of Commerce, and that steps would be taken by that organi- zation to provide a cup which would be known as the Albany Chamber of Com- merce trophy, to be awarded as would be decided later. John A. Howe, Jr., was added to the music committee. 16 The Weekly Florists^ Review* OCTOBBB 6, 1010. carmine, very showy and a strong grow- er; Salmon Queen, salmon pink. Bulba of these gladioli are now procurable and should be started at once to secure an early crop. Miscellaueous. A few other bulbous subjects, which wide-awake florists find some money in growing, are: Anemone coronaria The Bride, A. fulgeus, Turban and French ranunculi; each of these families wants cool treatment, such as a violet house affords, and can be grown in flats or planted in the beds, particularly if there are gaps wliich need filling. Ixias suc- ceed best in rather small pans in a cool greenhouse, as do babianas, sparaxis and tritoiiias. All tliese bulbs like a light, moderately rich and sandy soil. Some partially decayed leaf-mold has been found useful for mixing, especially in the heavier loams. A point to remember iu bulb culture is that one soaking watering must be given after planting. Do not imme- diately after this is done bury the pans and flats in coal ashes and imagine that this one watering will carry them along until started suflSciently for forcing. No greater mistake can be made than this, and here many failures in bulb culture occur. Several additional waterings are needed before the time will come to house the bulbs. This refers especially to tulips, narcissi and hyacinths. The soil, especially in pans, dries quickly and provided drainage is good there is more danger from too little than too much water. PROPAGATING. While many growers have now put in the bulk of their geranium cuttings, tli(i present month is sufliciently early for many to start propagating, especially in the warmer states. Even in the nortli there would be a much lower percentage of dampcd-off cuttings if propagation were delayed until the last possible mo- ment. The wood is firmer now and less sappy than a month ago, which means a better strike of cuttings. Do not make the mistake of shading the cut- tings. They want the full sun from the start, plenty of water at first and then a reduced supj)ly, just suflicient to pre- vent shriveling, and at the same time .•ause plenty of fibrous roots to strike iiut into the sand. WINTER BLOOMERS. Winter flowering geraniums want all possible sun and jtlenty of fresh air. It is a good plan to place one or two stakes iu each pot to keep them rigid. When heavily flowered, they are easily overbalanced and these stakes will save them from possible collapse. Keep all flower trusses picked oil'. Give the plants a fresh stand once a week, for they are now growing fast. Avoid too much liquid manure. It causes a dark irreen. soft growth, which is not florifer- ous. Clay's fertilizer is an excellent food, aj)pli(Ml as a top dressing; so is lion Arbor tised as a liquid. Geraniums bloom the best when not overpotted, and to be quite salable should be in from 4-inch to Ginch pots. The last size should not be exceeded, • xcept in special cases. PRIVATE CONSERVATORIES. There ncyer was a time in the history of floriculture in this country when the number of private conservatories was increasing faster than at present. This is fine business, not only for the con- cerns which supply the greenhouse ma- terial, but for anyone else in the trade, as each addition to the list of private rreenhouses means the employment of at least one more gardener, the pur- chase of much stock to keep the estab- lislinicnt going, and the use of more flowers. It is a mistaken idea that these jirivate greenhouses detract from the l)>isinoss of the retail florists. Once the habit of using flowers liberally has l)een acquired, the average private place does not produce enough cut stock to meet more than the daily needs of the owner, if it does even so well as that, and whenever any special occasion arises recourse must be had to the re- tail florist as before. Ifow rapidly these private places are multiplying is shown by some of the recent orders booked by the King Con- struction Co., North Tonawanda, N. Y., whicii will just now be of special in- terest to those who cater to the other needs of such buyers. W. B. O. Fields, Lenox, Mass., will build a curved glass house. 14x41;. The Countess Santa Fulalia, Ashbourne, Fa., will build a grapery 22x58, a mum house 20x75, a palm and orchid bouse 22x75, and a lean-to 7x50, with connecting passage- way. John H. Hammond, Mount Kisco, N. Y., will put up a house 18x50 with service building. William P. Hamilton, Sterlington, N. Y., will build an even- span house 25x125, divided into three compartments, A. C. Harrison, Oreland, Pa., will build a house seventy-five feet long, with curved eaves, and ornamental service building. William F. Taubel, Riverside, N, J., will build a house 22x 95. All these are more or less orna- mental and elaborate and they speak for an increase in business for a great many people. CYCLAMENS FOR CHRISTMAS. Will 3-inch cyclamens in bud make fair Christmas plants! C. P. N. If the cyclamens referred to are well rooted in 3-inch pots, give them a shift into 4-inch. In this size they will make nice little Christmas stock. Grow them in a temperature at night of 48 to 50 degrees after this date. If you prefer to keep them in the small sized pots, top-dress once in ten days with a first- class fertilizer, such as Clay's, alter- nating with cow or sheep liquid manure, to keep them toned up. C. W. ELBERFIELD AN INVENTOR. Alpha Elberfield, proprietor of the Alpha Floral Co., Kansas City, who here- tofore has devoted his energies to the merchandizing end of the business, has recently turned inventor and has been granted a patent on what he styles as a self-watering plant pot. The need for such an article was suggested by com- plaints of the short life of plants sold, when investigation showed that the failure was due merely to the custom- er's neglect of watering. Therefore, Mr. Elberfield has devised an article to take the place of jardiniere or basket, in which the florist will place, prior to delivery, enough water to keep the plants nicely supplied for about a week. The accompanying illustration is repro- duced from the patent oflice diagrams. The position of the ordinary flower pot inside the patented one is shown by the dotted lines. Tlie number 7 indicates the Elberficld's Self-watering Plant Pot. J^X^Q OCTOBBB 6, 1010. ThcWcckly Florists' Review. 17 opening through which the stem of the plant protnules. The number 15 on each side indicates the openings f^r the injection of water, which ^ccupi^s the spaces marked 10, whence it ii fed slow- ly to the soil in the pot. The water seeps through the soil of the pot, any- surplus finding exit through the drain- age hole and falling into a catchbasin, which occupies the lower part of the container. The device is made orna- mental and attractive in character through various embellishments. It is not authoritatively known what Mr. Elberfield intends doing with his in- vention, but it is reported that he in- tends to form a corporation to manufac- ture these pots as soon as the necessary arrangements can be completed. following are the awards ILLINOIS STATE FAIR. The authorities of the Illinois State Fair offered generous premiums for cut flowers, designs and pot jilants this year, bringing out the best display ever seen in central Illinois. There were four prominms in most classes and on the opening day, October 4, nearly all the money was taken down. Tiie cut roses, carnations and chrysanthemums made a most creditable showing. The retail florists' design section was a specially attractive feature and the table decorations were better than ever before. The on cut flowers: Fifty I^oaiUy— PfK'hlniann Bros.

Boxwoods will be worth real money this season; Belgium cannot produce the stock so fast ^s America can use up the small plants at last year's prices. There are automobile parades by the doken; almost every city has one. They bring considerable business to florists, but it is a mistake to try to decorate an auto except where a fair sum of money is to be laid out; you can't go far on a few dollars. Growers who lean toward the use of grafted roses usually prefer the English Manetti stocks. Months ago it was an- nounced in The Review that these would be scarce this winter and later reports tend to show the supply will be consid- erably less than the normal demand. Keep your eye on the series of double page spreads in the center of The Re- view. You hardly could miss these im- pressive ads, but the present series, the first of which appeared last week, are specially worth watching. There is an open date for the position October 27. First come first served. Many in this trade will subscribe to the assertion that it is easier to sell goods than to collect the money for them. The difficulty in collection lies in the failure to withhold credit from those who do not appreciate its value. Why not make collections easier by refusing credit to those who do not meet obliga- tions promptly and thus gain time to seek out the buyers who know the worth of a good namef The man who exacts payment when due never loses by it. THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING. ' ' The proof of the pudding is the eat- ing thereof," and not chewing the string. If you want to know just how quickly Review classified ads will move your surplus stock, do as this man did, and try them: We are all sold out of primulas and had to refund the money on orders that came late; one Insertion of the little ad did the work. — J. J. Hellenthal, Columbus, O., September 26, 1910. Advertising in The Review will clear any salable stock. OBITUAKY. Mrs. Bichard Witterstaetter. Mrs. Louise Witterstaetter, wife of Richard "Witterstaetter, of Cincinnati, O., died at her home on Pine Hill on Friday, September 30, at the age of 45. Her demise was quite unexpected, even to those intimate with her. It was only in the last two weeks that she was seriously ill. She was a great lover of flowers, and took a keen interest in the affairs of the trade. There gathered at her home, October 3, a large number of Mr. "Witterstaetter 's friends among the florists and her friends and neighbors, to pay their last respects to one who had held their respect all through life. The floral tributes were many and beau- tiful. . omoAOOi. The Oreat Central Market. A return of summer weather hit the market a body blow last week, just at a time when it apparently was gathering strength for the autumn campaign. The heat increased the production in almost all departments and as visibly cut down the demand. City trade has not been strong at any time this season — it never is in September — and shipping trade fell off to a considerable degree. It is thought, however, that all that is neces- sary to restore the market to a fairly good basis is the return of seasonable weather. Cooler conditions are pre- dicted following the rain which set in Monday night, October 3. "Warm sun for several days at the end of last week affected the roses more than any other flowers. In all varieties the cut was hastened, without any ad- vantage to the quality. Those who clung with tenacity to the prices which had been in force in preceding days found their stock moving slowly. There was considerable increase in the supply of Beauties and the price was further weakened by the increased supply of mums, which are the principal competi- tors of Beauties in their season. Not all Beauties are first-class, of course, but on the whole the quality of the stock is excellent. For some days short roses have com- manded relatively better sale than the longer stock. A large proportion of the growers are now cutting stock that will grade as select and special, with com- paratively few shorts, such as are in demand for work. Killamey, Maryland, Jardine, Richmond, Rhea Reid, Field, White Killamey and even Kaiserin are in excellent supply, fine long-stemmed stock such as affords no room for com- plaint. Killarney and Maryland have the call. Houses cutting heavily of Richmond have found themselves over- stocked. "White Killarney, also being cut in quantity by some of the largest growers, is not easily moved at its true value. It seems to be lost sight of that a principal part of the call for white roses is for funeral work. Size of flower may count, but length of stem is little advantage. The sale for white roses in the 6, 8 and 10-cent grades is less than for the same qualities of other colors. A large part of the "White Killamey now being cut are on stems of good length. Carnations are coming in more freely every day and stems steadily lengthen. Much of the stock needs only stem to be first-class. There is much difference in the re- ports as to chrysanthemums. The sup- ply is large; a part of the receipts is of splendid quality, but another part is poor. Some houses say mums are selling slowly, where others report the oppo- site; the majority say prices are below those of previous years, but some say they are getting as much as ever they did. "White and yellow are the only colors thus far available, but pink is expected next week. The New York double violets have been reinforced by the arrival of the home-grown singles, but neither variety is in much request. There is a marked increase in the supply of orchids. Val- ley is abundant. Lilies are said to be scarce, but are nevertheless to be had by those who will pay the price; the advance to $2 per dozen made by some OcToamiO, 1010. The We^y Florists' I^eview. u LONG-STENNED BEAUTIES Finest Stock The Trade Has Seen This Season. While we are able to supply all lengths of Beauties of equally good quality, we are specially strong this week on long-stemmed stock. These Beauties are without question the finest that have been seen in this market this season. Fine large heads, splendid color and substance, strong stem and heavy foliage; quality that attracts the buyers who hunt out the best stock to be had. Order here and we shall have no doubt you will come again. KILLARNEY PINK AND WHITE We also are especially strong on White Killamey — a big crop is on. This is fine stock, in every way as good as our famous Killamey (pink), and the color is clear. These are the finest white roses of the season to date. In addition to Killamey and White Killamey, we can supply fine Kaiserin, Maryland and Richmond* CHRYSANTHEMUMS Many buyers know the quality of our IVf onrovias of former years — well, we've got 'em again, as fine as ever. Also good Golden Glow, October Frost and other early varieties. We are headquarters for fine mums. CARNATIONS The quality of the carnations is improving steadily and every day brings an addition to the supply. You can order here with the certainty that you are calling on the largest lot of high grade carnations in this market. Lilies Violets We can supply Easter Lilies in quantity every day in the year. Plenty of them NOW. I^et your orders come. The violet season has oi^ned. As usual, we have the cream of the Hudson river doubles and the finest of home-grown singles.

The money value of sales in this mar- ket in September unquestionably made a gain over the same month last year, but it is open to question if the gain was as great as the increase in the pro- duction of cut flowers; the general re- port is that more stock was handled than last year but that the prices were not so good. A number of houses that reported increases in sales added the comment that the increase was nowhere near so great as the increase August showed over the corresponding month of last year. September, 1910, brought to the mar- ket many more chrysanthemums than in any previous September, also a con- siderable increase in supplies of roses, and of carnations. Kennicott's New Box. Kennicott Bros. Co. is immensely pleased with its newest ice-box. It is 8iAxl6Vl> and eight feet high, built on what is known as a double insulation principle; that is, it is virtually two boxes, one within the other, with an air space between. With 300 pounds of ice at this season, 54 degrees is maintained in the daytime, when the door is being opened every few minutes, and at night the temperature goes down to 50 de- grees. Double shelving all around gives the box large capacity. As it is in- tended for carnations in winter, it has a connection with the outdoors, which will do away with the use of ice in freezing weather. A novel feature is a boxwood cooler at the rear of the box, outside. This is a zinc-lined tank forty inches square and six feet long, which is kept full of water from the drip pipe. This will be used for freshening up box- wood after it comes from cold storage and is expected to be the means of maintaining a boxwood' supply all the year around. The box was built by Paul J. Daem- icke Co., 261 South Water street. September Weather. The weather during the month of September, 1910, presented few unusual features. The temperature was only two-fifths of a degree higher than the normal and both the warmest and the coldest days of the month were well within the range shown in former years. Most of the rainfall was in the first half of the month, but the total was some- what in excess of the average. No frosts occurred in this immediate vicin- ity, it being the first September, except that of 1905, since in 1884 that has been marked by total absence of frost. Various Notes. The Florists' Club will hold its monthly meeting at the Union restau- rant tonignt. October 6. The executive committee of the Horticultural Society has been invited to be present and there will be a general discussion of flower show matters. Twelve applicants for membership are to be voted on.

Other Chicago commission ilealers who have looked over the violet situation this summer were Frank Johnson, of the A. L. Randall Co.; Mike Fink, of Kennicott Bros. Co.; John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling Co., and C. W. McKellar. Phil Scnupp says that Maryland is a much better seller than Killarney; the latter requires pushing, though good, while the former does not. H. N. Bruus has run so short on val- ley this year that he expects to make a considerable increase in his importation of pips this fall. The city of Chicago has over $400,000 for a tuberculosis hospital. The most available site appears to be an 80-acre tract that is a part of the L. A. Budlong Co. onion-set patch, that adjoins Peter- son Nursery and is in the vicinity of half a dozen greenhouse establishments. Tne proximity of any hospital depresses real estate values and the neighbors are objecting to this one with special vigor. Peter Reinberg is a member of the al- dermanic committee that has to decide. It is reported that Joseph Klimmer, who has been ill for some time, is stead- ily weakening, and little hope is now entertained for his recovery. Clifford Pruner, of E. II. Hunt's sup- ply department, was at Grand Rapids last week with an exhibition at the veg- etable growers' convention. He says he never has attended a meeting where there was such keen interest in the busi- ness sessions. ('. W. Johnson, of tliis house, has returned from a trip to the Pacific coast. Carl N. Thomas has returned from West Springfield, Pa., where he spent the summer on his farm, and is again on the selling floor of the A. L. Randall Co. W. W. Randall also returned Octo ber 3 from a three weeks' vacation. A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry, says that he does not recall a season when there has been a better sale for chrysanthemums. The work of remodeling the Flower Growers' Market has progressed suffi- ciently to permit the rearrangement of tlie Percy Jones space, giving additional facilities. Robert Northam, of George Rein- berg's, says he sold at least 15.000 Rich- mond October .3 and had plenty left at the close of business. The George Wittbold Co. has a large decoration October 3 for the fall open- ing of C. A. Stevens & Bro. E. C. Amling says it is a wholly mis- taken idea that carnations are high in price. He thinks it not an overstate- ment to say tliat there are twice as many carnations coming into the market as at this date last year, and that prices are not now so good as they were a year ago. Poehlmann Bros. Co. sent a large ex- hibit of roses to the state fair flower show this week. A nundier of wholesale houses shipped considerable quantities of stock to Springfield October 3 for the same purpose. Albert T. Hey Floral Co., Maywood, is making a large dis- play, Mrs. Hey being in charge. Bassett & Washburn say September of 1909 was much better than any pre- vious September in their history, but tliat this year the month 's sales beat last year by over $1,000, with no increase in glass. Miss Hertha V. Tonner, who is treas- urer of the Flower Growers' Co. and who has a prosperous commission busi- ness in the market, reports the arrival of single violets in the last week of September.

August Poehlmann, member of the executive committee of the Horticul- tural Society, called a meeting of re- tailers October 3 to discuss their par- ticipation in the fall show. It is in- tended to make a special feature of the retail exhibits. Among those present were Louis Wittbold, of the George WittboldCo.; Herman Schiller, of Schil- ler The Florist, Victor Bergman, of the E. Wienhoeber Co., and Ed Enders, of C. A. Samuelson's. The Bohannon Floral Co., 11 East Monroe street, has installed a new win- dow display case for orchids, valley and violets. Additional shelving for the display of fancy baskets, novelties and other supplies has been added. The D. D. Johnson Co., which manu- factures Evergreen Brand fertilizer, after doubling its factory space a few weeks ago, has now found additional office space necessary, and has rented an outside room in the same building, at 66 Wabash avenue, almost directly across the hall from its present office, but nearly twice as large.

Dahlias are plentiful and find a good request. Cosmos was between crops, but now the late flowers are of- fered and a steady supply is assured until frost. Within another week the supply of asters will probably be over for the season. In other stock, Lilium longiflorum sells well and there is just about enough on hand to meet the de- mand. The supply of lily of the valley is short. Chrysanthemums and violets are coming in. The supply of green goods is ample and of good quality. The many orders for Dutch bulbs at the seed houses are rapidly depleting the supply of that commodity and, judg- ing from appearances, it will be cleaned out before long. Various Notes. C. E. Critchell received his first east- ern double violets last week. He ex- pects early mums in a day or so, from H. Schmidt & Co., of Oxford, O. The bowling committee of the Cincin- nati Florists' Society has been working hard and carefully, and has complete plans to offer to the members at the next regular meeting of the society, Oc- tober 10. William Murphy finds a brisk demand for Lilium longiflorum. E. 6. Gillett is getting in some fine October Frost and Monrovia from H. Schmidt & Co., of Oxford, O. During the last few days Mr. Gillett 's many Beauties have been snapped up quickly by the buyers for the Jewish New Year. L. H. Kyrk is now receiving late cosmos and single violets. His first pansies from the new cut are also arriv- ing. The J. M. McCullough's Sons Co. ex- pects a large shipment of mushroom spawn within a few days. Last Satur- day J. C. Connont, representing James Carter & Co., of London, England, called at this house while on his twenty-eighth annual trip to this country to visit the seedsmen. Mr. Connont is one of the pioneers among the English commercial travelers in the seed line. He has been with the Carters for over fifty-one years. Miss Mae Carroll, representing D. Busconi, has returned from a successful trip through northern Ohio. The engagement of Frank Westerich and Miss Kessler has been announced. Visitors: Julius Dillhof, representing Schloss Bros., New York; Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Gause, Richmond, Ind.; H. Schmidt, Oxford, O., and William Lod- der, Hamilton, O. C. H. H. BOCHESTES, N. H. At the annual fair held here Septem- ber 27 to 30, E. A. Corson was the lead- ing winner in the classes for pot plants, cut flowers and designs. J. K. Alexan- der, of East Bridgewater, Mass., showed dahlias largely, as did the East Man- chester (N. H.) Dahlia Gardens. Sweet peas from Mrs. A. Roberts, Alton Bay, N. H., were of fine quality. It would pay other prominent trade growers of dahlias and other flowers to make ex- hibits at this important fair another year. The floral court for the plant and flower exhibits is quite unique. Frank Shorey is superintendent of this de- partment. W. N. Crcig, of North Easton, Mass., acted as judge. Alexandria, Va. — C. A. Shaffer, of C. A.

The Kising Eastern Market, Life has succeeded apathy in the cut flower market; there is activity every- where. The October weddings have come, also the opening entertainments of the social season, chiefly small affairs, but, most important of all, the Jewish fes- tival of the new year coincides this time with the fourth day of October, this holiday being a movable feast. All these causes combined have produced improvement in business. Beauties ad- vanced sharply, $4 being asked for the specials; Beauties are a holiday flower par excellence. The general rose list has been active; the heavy crops, seemingly off with many growers, further stimulate the de- mand. Carnations have improved great- ly in quality. Those growers whose plants have weathered the trials of August and September are reaping a harvest. The supply of carnations is smaller than usual at this season. Sin- gle violets, positively unsalable during the closing days of September, have jumped into a position of prominence, receiving notice from all classes of buyers. Doubles have not arrived. Really fine valley is in demand; in fact, there is a shortage, but this does not apply to the ordinary grade. The quality of the best valley shows an improvement over last month. Cat- tleyas are abundant. Labiata is with us in strong array. The price has fallen, with further shading on large orders. Dendrobium formosum and on- cidiums are to be had. Gardenias are improving, likewise the price. Dahlias have been affected by the long drought, impairing the quality and shortening the stems. There are, how- ever, some really fine dahlias in the market that sell well. The average re- turns are much affected by the poor stock sent in. Were this thrown away, everyone would be benefited, some of the wholesalers say. White dahlias are more in demand than colors. Chrysanthemums are gradually com- ing to the fore. October Frost, Opah and Polly Rose are the whites; Golden Glow, now nearly over, and Monrovia are the yellows, while Montmort, the early pink, is now displaced by the great Glory of Pacific. Greens are moderately affected by the improvement in the market. Adiantum is beginning to receive attention. As- ters are over; there are a few corn- flowers. The Florists' Club, The annual meeting of the Florists' Club, held in Horticultural hall Tues- day evening, October 4, was well at- tended. The principal business of the evening was the election of officers for the coming year. All the present offi- cers, who were nominated at the Sep- tember meeting, were re-elected with- out opposition. They were: President, Joseph Heacock; vice-president, Alfred Burton; treasurer, George Craig- sec- retary, David Rust, Richard Vincent, Jr., White Marsh, Md., favored the members with an illus- trated lecture on "Holland and Its Bulbs," that was much enjoyed. Re- freshments encouraged sociability Robert Scott & Sons exhibited a vase of their new double pink Killarney rose that created a sensation. An Opportunity, There are lots and lots of young men who say they never have had a chance, and feel privileged to grumble at fate accordingly. Some of them are such good fellows that they don't say so, but they think it all the same, not real- izing that there are opportunities all about us provided we choose to seize them. Somebody once said— alas! I forget just who— that we can make our- selves whatever we please, provided we are willing to pay the price, adding that few of us are willing.

Simply this: One of our brightest plantsmen remarked one day this week that azaleas could be grown in certain sections of New Jersey, where peat and water abound, just as well as in Belgium. He further added that he was sure such a venture could be made profitable, despite the cheaper labor of Europe. The stock would be grown outdoors, where it could get plenty of water. Sufficient glass would be required to house the plants in winter. In support of this statement, the wonderful improvement shown in carried-over azaleas, when properly handled, was instanced. An- other of our leading plantsmen, one of the master minds in the profession, heartily supported this idea, adding that it would take knowledge as well as capilal and, with a humorous twin- kle in his eye, a hide quite impervious to the mosquito. Progress at Biverton. Henry A. Dreer awarded a contract to the King Construction Co., Septem- ber 8, as readers of this column may remember, for two acres of glass at the new farm near Riverton, N. J. This contract calls for completion of the whole undertaking, greenhouses, sheds, boilers and all piping, by December 15. Such rapid progress has already been made that J. D. Eisele, vice-president of the Dreer corporation, spoke hope- fully of the probability that the con- tract would be completed on time and a new record established. The service house, of the latest King type of con- struction, has been completed and work is being pushed on the adjoining ranges. The heat will be furnished by five seventy-five horse-power horizontal tu- bular boilers set on the surface of the ground and working under forced cir- culation by means of a centrifugal pump. E. H. Michel is in charge of this department of Dreer 's. The new establishment will be a model of effi- ciency and economy. Various Notes. The Stokes Seed Store will hold a fall show at 219 Market street, October 10 and the five following days. Mr. Stokes expects to have fine vegetables, fruits and dahlias from his growers of Mount Holly and Moorestown. The Henry F. Michell Co. announces that it will vacate 1018 Market street October 31, removing the entire business to the new store at 518 Market street. W. E.

James has been granted a permit to erect a greenhouse to cost $1,000 at 8029 Ridge avenue, and John Frasch one for a greenhouse to cost $800 at Salmon street and Erie avenue. ST, Loxns.

Aside from a con- siderable amount of funeral work, there is nothing steady yet. The weather has not been favorable, as the temperature was steadily going up instead of down, and for a few days it was as hot as in August. This made stock suffer, and some consignments came in badly heat- ed up. It is expected that retail busi- ness will pick up this month as soon as the social season starts. AH of the wholesalers have had good consignments of roses and carnations of improved quality; roses were more plen- tiful than the demand, while white car- nations about Equaled the call. Asters, tuberoses and gladioli are about over, and only a few come in. Some violets come in, but not enough to satisfy any demand. Cooler weather will bring them out better. Fine valley, cosmos, lilies and dahlias are to be had, and all kinds of greens are selling well. Various Notes. The valuation of the Shaw prizes, as given in the item about the Fall Flower Show on page 15 of The Review for September 29, should be $500, instead of $50, as printed. The Engelmann Botanical Club will resume its regular monthly meetings this month at the botanical laboratory of the Central high school. The Retail Florists' Association of St. Louis held its meeting Monday, October 3, in the Knights of Columbus hall and discussed some important matters. The secretary read a paper by a local re- tailer on "The Last Resort to Stop the Practice of Crepe Pulling." The at- tendance was good. The St. Louis Seed Co. and the Schis- ler-Corneli Seed Co. have put in a busy week with fall bulbs. They say busi- ness has improved much in this line this season. Robert Tesson, well known in local trade circles, has returned from a few weeks' trip in the west. He says the hail storm of Monday, September 26, did quite a lot of damage at his farm in Clayton. The consignments of roses at C. A. Kuehn's were quite heavy last week, and of excellent quality. Carnations and white and yellow mums are also of good quality. The demand for supplies has been good all the week. Along South Broadway, Florists He^e, Diemer and Kohr had a busy week, as the South Broadway merchants' festivi- ties were in full blast. A number of excellent decorations were seen in the big stores in that section. Several of tht Belleville florists were here last week and said that business had picked up nicely, and they are in good shape for a busy season. August Mirring and Martin Eggert, the East St. Louis florists, are busy shaping things for the fall and winter season. Each has a splendid stock of plants. C. Young & Sons Co. was busy with decorations for the Veiled Prophet's ball in the Coliseum. This was one of the biggest plant decorating jobs of the year, and it was said that 1,000 Amer- ican Beauties would also be used this year. Henry Jennemann is cutting some October 6, 1910.

The wheels of improvement in the market move slowly, but on Saturday, October 1, the atmosphere in the whole- sale section had changed; one could, if at all sensitive, feel the vibrations of new life. Everything that had merit sold rapidly, and, while prices did not advance so as to merit special mention, the general tone was firm and the se- lected stock of every kind found imme- diate demand. Violets are cdming fast. There were some seventy-five boxes Oc- tober 1. From now on the supply will increase daily. Of the quality, it is best not to speak. A few extra bunches touched 50 cents per hundred, but that was high water mark and the tide turned quickly. It is remarkable how many orchids are arriving and how many wholesalers are handling them. Fortunately, the demand is increasing steadily. Much of the rose stock is small and short- stemmed. Some of it is mildewed. Only the best brings satisfactory prices. Tremendous arrivals of the short- stemmed stock go at the buyer's offer. Carnations are improving rapidly in size of flower and length of stem, but seldom can over 2 cents be obtained for them. Chrysanthemums are beginning to arrive from the specialists, and for the finest specimens $4 per dozen and upward was the figure. These find their way to the centers of the retail display windows and sell rapidly to the return- ing Four Hundred, who are trooping eitvward in droves as the leaves begin to fall. Gardenias improve in size and stem daily. The sources of supply seem un- abated. Lilies have fallen again from their high estate, as low as $6 per hun- dred at the end of the week being ac- cepted willingly. Dahlias are abundant. Many of the new varieties are superb. They have been largely utilized in bas- ket work and window decoration. Qimbel's Decoration.

As the result of complaints in recent years regarding spiraeas flowering badly, many of the Dutch exporters liave in- formed their customers that they intend in future to give the roots a longer time to ripen, and that the date of shipment will be later than usual. BEAN CROP XOT SO BAD. Arthur B. Clark, president of the Everett B. Clark Seed Co., Milford, Conn., which also operates extensively in the pea and bean districts of Wis- consin and Michigan, while deploring the season's results with onions, and especially with peas, takes a favorable view of the bean situation. On the last day of September he sized up the crops as follows: , "Harvest of our sm^ll seeds that we grow here in Connecticut is now com- pleted, and onion has proved the most disappointing, the majority of crops be- ing outrigSt failures, no attempfoeing made to harvest a head of seed, and we, LEONARD SEED €&, PRODUCERS AND WHOLESALE _ MERCHANTS FOR PRICES WRITE US Largest Growers of Peat, Beaos and Garrin Seed.

Such of the crop, however, as has withstood these untoward conditions has filled out quite well and is having fine weather for maturing. "Permit us to glide over the subject of peas with just as few words as pos- sible, because it is one of the most un- pleasant subjects to dwell upon that it has ever fallen to our lot to be so deeply interested in. We had a large acreage of peas this year, and we cer- tainly longed for a good crop; but with us, at least, the crop outturn is proving little short of disastrous. "We are still looking for a distinctly more favorable result from our crop of beans; in fact, we hope to average up nicely on our contract deliveries for this item. The worst element in the situa- tion here is that a wet harvest may have reduced our crop outturn in some sections. More than this, it is too early to say with regard to beans." IMPORTS.

Peas are turning out even worse than expected, deliveries in many instances falling below field estimates. With beans, on the other hand, no deliveries have as yet been made, and fear is ex- pressed that some of the crops will not mature, weather conditions having not recently been favorable. As recently as October 4, at Green Bay, Wis., E. L. Olmsted made the following statement of the situation: "Deliveries from farmers have not advanced far enough as yet to enable us to estimate the exact returns on the different varieties of peas.

Mention The Review when vou write vary so widely from our field estimates tiiat we can only guess the final out- come until we have received the re- maining crops. In a general way we can say that the returns are much poorer than we had anticipated from our earlier receipts. The later varie- ties, and especially the large-podded sorts, were damaged the most, some of these varieties being practically fail- ures. Within three or four weeks we hope to know definitely the exact yield on all varieties of peas. "Beans in this state germinated slowly and unevenly, on account of the dryness of the soil at planting time, and many of the fields were planted later than ordinarily. This has made the crop late in maturing and it is a (|uestion if all of the fields mature, es- jjecialiy of the later varieties, as there have been frequent and heavy showers during the last three weeks. Fortu- nately, no killing frosts have ocenrred in any of the Wisconsin bean growing sections to date. The present prospect is for about fifty per cent of a normal yield of beans in this state. \one of our growers have delivered beans as vet, so we cannot judge how near our field estimates will be to the actual returns.

Perha})s you do not know that six weeks ago many bulb fields in Japan were flooded with water and that several millionGiganteuni bulbs were practically destroyed; and that hundreds of Japanese were killed or drowned and thousands of homes were wrecked. Yet such is the- case, and under existing con- ditions there will be a larger shortage of good bulbs than is generally anticipated. Of course, the market prices of good Giganteum are much higher than before the flood. We refer to good bulbs — we don't mean the kind dug out of the mud or affected by plant louse. Our Yokohama office advise us they have secured at ad- vanced prices a fair quantity of good Giganteum bulbs, which we otter at catalogue ])rices while they last.

You Know B9HAT the steady growth of any company is the surest indication ■ H of the vllue of that company's stock and service. It takes the ■Ji Right Stock, the Right Price and the Right Service to make, the Right Grow^th. With these facts in miod, a short history of the stea^ly and healthy growth of the Geo. Wittbold Co. should be of the utmost interest to every buyer of plants and nursery stock. Durine the year 1857, George "WittholdtMun only 25 years of age, came to Qiicago from Hanover, Germany, where he was bom, and entered into partnership with a Mr. Williams, the firm name being Williams & Wittbold. Mr. Wittbold had obtained a thorough knowledge of plant growing at the Royal Botanic Garden in Germany and was well qualified for the responsi- bilities which he assumed here. Williams & Wittbold had two places, Mr. Williams conducting one on what is now Fullerton avenue, while Mr. Wittbold's first glass was about where North avenue intersects Clark street, which was then some distance outside the city. At the close of the Civil war the partnership of Williams & Wittbold was dissolved and in 1869 Mr. Wittbold ac- quired the land on \(^hich he lived and conducted his business for forty- one years, till death finally intervened. At the time of his purchase this ^(ras marsh ground, far outside the settled city districts. His con- temporaries told him it v/u not w^orth the $2,000 he agreed to pay for four acres, but by the time Mr. Wittbold had his marsh filled in he had many opportunities to turn his investment profitably. All ihe time that Chicago was growing the Wittbold business grew ■wiih it Where in the beginning otdy a little local trade was handled, in the course of time a big range of glass backed up two retail stores and a large wholesale business was done, both in the city and throu out the west Mr. Wittbold brought up a family of five sons, each whom possessed the father's aptitude for the business and all of who at length became associated with it, assisting in its extension and ev« ually takii^ over the entire responsibility. Twelve years ago the Gew Wittbold (5). was incorporated, the founder occupying the presides (whose place is now filled by former Vice-President Fred Wittbold account of the recent death of Mr. Gee. Wittbold), but each of theoti sons holding an interest, with Louis Wittbold as secretary and treasur Since that date the progress has been more rapid than at any time the history of the business. A large nursery and greenhouse plant h been established at Edgebrook, DL, where there is 70,000 square feet glass, and 50 acres devoted to growing all kinds of nursery stock* Fl is in addition to 70,000 square feet of glass in the main establishment Buckingham place. Such is the hittory of this corporation. Now, just a few wot about the policy that has made this history of growth possible. Yi know, and we know, that there can be a great variation in the quali of plants and yet have them strictly up to specifications. Knowi this, we felt that each customer should oe given extra good value, addition to having every shipment exactly fulfill the specificatioi That being the case, our constant aim and policy in the fif ty-tw^o years our business has been "good value given on every purchase.

Robert Groves, who began in the fern business here a few years ago on a rather modest scale, estimates that his requirements this season will be over 25,000,000. He now has a large number of pickers out on the hills for a dozen miles surrounding the town. The pick- ers are paid at the rate of 40 cents per thousand, or a penny a bunch, for the ferns delivered. Last year Mr. Groves shipped about 15,000,000 ferns from this section. In addition to the pickers he employs young men desig- nated as scouts, whose business it is to travel over the country and locate promising places. Time was when all that was necessary to do was to go into the woods and pick ferns, but now it is a quite general custom for the prop- erty owner to require payment for the privilege of picking ferns on his land.

One of the shrewdest judges of the cut flower values of peonies is buying largely of Delicatissima. Hippolite Fermaud, who has been at Shenandoah, la., for a year, studying the details of the American nursery busi- ness under D. S. Lake, is preparing to return to his home at Angers, France. Alleging misrepresentation in the number of budded trees in two nurseries he purchased, R. M. Teague has filed a suit in the Superior Court at Los Angeles, Cal., to recover $12,000 from W. G. Hall. Mr. Teague says he bought the Keim and the Yost nurseries, near Glen- dora, Cal., from Mr. Hall, for $37,000, and had paid $34,000 before he discov- ered the alleged fraud. A MASSACHUSETTS NUBSEBT. The corporation known as the New England Nurseries, of Bedford, Mass., owns the property formerly operated by the Shady Hill Nursery Co., a concern whose business was once conducted at Shady Hill, more recently the home of the late Prof. Charles Eliot Norton and the future home of Andover Theological Seminary. The property in Bedford em- braces nearly 200 acres of land, and the company controls more than 600 acres in Geneva, N. Y. Ihiring recent years the company has made rapid strides toward perfecting the plant in Bedford, but this work is not yet done, for the near future will see a new and larger oflSce and shipping building, with a spur track capable of holding t^plve can "at one time — facilities which are fully needed during the busier months of the year. The nursery is located on the southern division of the Boston & Maine railroad. The main output is flowering shrubs, hardy perennials, vines and evergreens, and during the busy seasons from fifty to seventy-five men are employed. An independent water supply and electric light plant located on the grounds add to the facilities, as well as a building for the construction of shipping cases, where upward of 5,000 cases were made last season. A landscape department has been maintained for some time and is increasing steadily in its relative im- portance to the rest of the business. SHBUBS FOB SHADED LOCATION.

The soil, which is a loam, seems entirely dead, probably due to the large trees draw- ing their nourishment from it. Can any- thing in the way of low shrubbery be encouraged to grow there with proper soil preparation! If so, please suggest the kind of shrubbery and the soil prep- aration which would be most likely to produce the best results. L. R. K. Conditions such as you describe are not good for any variety of shrub. Elm roots are particularly bad for impover- ishing the ground. Even if you dig out and prepare a bed, the chances are that the elm roots will soon fill it. Still, if your customer wants something planted I would advise digging out the bed or border to the depth of twenty-four inches. Remove all stones or gravelly subsoil, replace with good loam and mix in a good coat of rotted manure. Assum- ing that you do not want any tall shrubs, the best one you can plant will be Berberis Thunbergii, which succeeds well under quite adverse conditions and is beautiful winter and summer, while no insects trouble it.

This new Hydrangea is without question the grandest shrub or plant of any kind for forcing that is in existence today. This statement fdH admit of no con- troversy. To show how easily it can be brought into flower, a neighbor florist, just starting in the business, without any previous knowledge on forcing plants, having never forced a single plant of any kind, potted 500 field plants the 20th of October, plunging them in a cold frame. Nine weeks before Easter part of them were brought in and kept at a night temperature of 40 to 45 degrees; during the day the temperature would run from 50 to 60 degrees. They were in full flower for Easter. The balance of the plants were brought in the 20th of March and kept about the same temperature. The first bloom perfected the 12th of May, and the lot was m full bloom for Decoration day and — What a sight! Enough to warm the cockles in the heart of any florist. Everyone who saw them could but wonder. The plants on which the canes wore allowed to remain, when brought in, threw out branches a foot to 15 inches in length with a bloom on every tip. Those that were cut back to within four inches of the pot, the eyes broke near the base of the plant, throw- ing up from five to eight canes three feet high, with blooms of the purest snow white that were a foot in diameter. The lasting qualities of its flowers are one of its great money making points, as the blooms last in perfect condition from two to three weeks. ,. rpjjg ^.ggj flowers were produced from cut back plants, potted in heavy soil without a fertilizer. Where stimulants were used, the tendency was towards a weak neck that would not hold the mammoth bloom upright. It is imperative, to get the best results, that the plants should be subjected to hard freezing before bringing into the heat. IlIUBtratlon of a two-year-old fleld-Krown, cut back plant, forced, of Hydrangea Arborescens Grandiflora Alba. The true forcing variety. IMPORTANT As is well known, there are two distinct varieties of this new Hydrangea, one of which cannot be coddled or coaxed into producing a single flower under glass. The stock we offer is the true forcing variety. We have a fine stock of 50,000 one, two and three-year-old field-grown plants, ready to pot up for forcing. These will move quickly. Order to-day.

PACIFIC COAST. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Business ia showing a decided tend- ency to improve. Stocks of flowers are being used up much more closely and are in much better demand than for many weeks. There is a gradual up- ward tendency that is becoming more noticeable daily in the realm of prices, and all good stock is moving nicely. Asters are practically over for the year and the mums are with us in good shape. The inside early sorts are now at their best and the field-grown article will be at its height in a few days. The prices are about on a par with those of last season and the flowers are equally good. Violets are a shade more plentiful and are of a little better substance than they have been. Boses are scarce, -except the short-stemmed stock, of which there is an abundance. Carna- tions are getting a little more plentiful, but it will be several weeks before they arrive in heavy numbers. Valley is not overplentiful and it moves well. Japa- nese lilies are at the end of their crop. Late-flowered amaryllis are in, as well as tuberoses. Other kinds of outside stock move about as usual. Various Notes. Samuel Lundy, representing W. A. Manda, is in town again, renewing old acquaintances and looking up new busi- ness for his house. Martin Reukauf , representing H. Bay- ersdorfer & Co., of Philadelphia, is vis- iting the local dealers. He reports busi- ness ahead of that at the corresponding time last year. The Stockdale Nurseries, of Burlin- game, of which Henry Maier has been the manager, have been purchased by the MacRorie-McLaren Co. J. E. Bonsall, of Salem, O., is in town on a short visit. Serveau Bros., the well known Fill- more street florists, will open a down- town store at 128 Post street in a few days. The E. Hackel Floral Co., of Powell street, will move next door to its pres- ent location about October 1. The firm is fitting up the premises in splendid shape and will have one of the largest stores on the street. The California State Floral Society and the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society will hold their autumn exhibi- tion at the Fairmount hotel, October 21 to 23, The Florists' Board of Trade will have its new by-laws ready for distri- bution in a few days.

Fu- neral work was specially good. Asters and carnations were in evidence, though the asters were getting poor and small. The latter retailed at 35 cents per dozen. Carnations are of fair quality; they re- tailed at 50 cents per dozen. Good' roses sold at $1.50 per dozen, retail. A few gladioli were to be seen and there were oceans of dahlias to cut from. Some nice ferns are now coming in. Various Notes. E. H. Chamberlain was on the sick list last week. Harry Kranzler and Julius Eositzsky are back again at their posts, after an enjoyable week in New York. W. S. Brown has a large gang of men at work grading around the new public library. S. S Peckham was appointed one of the trustees at a meeting of the cred- itors of J. H. Cleary. Another report will be made in a few weeks. B. H. Woodhouse has his carnations in fine shape. E.

What we urgently need now is a soaking rain ; everything is distressingly dry. W. E. Turner, of Woburn, is first in the market with a fine grade of pansies, as well as single violets in quantity.

Goodenow, of Stoughton, is once more in the field with quantities of Campbell violets, which he grows of ex- cellent quality. He has lately devoted his houses to cucumbers and tomatoes. There is great disappointment over the cutting .out of the chrysanthemum show of the Massachusetts Horticultural So- ciety this fall. Boston can, however, afford this omission better than most of the other cities, which only hold one show a year, while Boston has many. Exhibitions next year will more than compensate for any omissions in 1910. At Thomas Roland 's big plant factory at Nahant the houses are filled to over- flowing with beautifully grown plants. Lorraines and cyclamens are seen in large pumbers and of finer quality than ever before, and there is a large variety of 'other choice stock. \ J. T. Butterworth has an unusually fine lot of Cattleya labiata this season, sheaths with five to seven flowers being common. He also has some good oncid- iums, Dendrobium Phalaenopsis and other orchids.

He called at the Breitmeyer store in Detroit and also at the Jones-Russell Co. and the J. M. Gasser Co. stores in Cleveland. The Bell Floral Co. recently had the decoration for the opening of the new clothing store of Printz Bros. The store and fixtures are the blue-green mission finish.

There are those who afl&rm that, after all is said and done, the second-hand boiler flue still is the ideal for greenhouse heating. You know there will be a fuel famine ia the^ winter. Well, don't be one of those who are caught. Now is the time to protect yourself. WATES BOILS OVEB. We are heating two houses, contain- ing 5,000 square feet of glass, with 2,SK) feet of 2-inch pipe for radiation. There are two 3-inch flows and two 3- inch returns to the boiler. It is an upright boiler, with plenty of capacity. As an expansion tank we use a large storage tank, which is fifteen feet above the bottom of the boiler. A 1- inch pipe, running from the bottom of the boiler to the tank, is used for fill- ing the boiler and as an expansion pipe. In starting a quick fire and raising the water to 100 degrees, the boiler is nearly emptied and nearly all the water is forced into the tank above. Is there any danger of explosion and is there any way of overcoming this trouble! W, S. For 5,000 square feet of glass it will be well to use 1,700 feet of radiating surface for 60 degrees, or 1,250 feet for 50 degrees. The question does not state what temperature is desired, or whether the flow pipes are carried through the house so as to afford radiation. When the water in the boiler behaves as de- scribed, there is certainly something wrong with the arrangement of the piping. It is probable that much of the trouble would be avoided if the piping could be arranged so that the flows would run downhill, after rising from the boiler as nearly vertically as possible to what would be the highest HARRISBDRG-FRANKLINCOALCO. 1216 Fisher Building, CHICAGO The Better Grades ONLY o!

This would do away with the necessity for air valves and there would be no trouble from the water boiling over as described. BOILEB SCALE. Is there anything we can put in our boiler to destroy the coating of lime on the interior, caused by the hot water? It is a tubular steam boiler. M. & J. There is a considerable number of concerns through the United States manufacturing what the trade knows as boiler compounds.

The house runs north and south, with the boiler pit at the south end and two feet lower than the floor of the greenhouse. I have planned to run a 2%-inch flow up to within twenty inches of the gable and then divide into two 2-inch flows, passing along under the ridge to the north end, where one flow will branch down to either side, into three 2-inch returns under the bench on the east side and three returns on the west side wall, as the west half of the house has a solid bed, one foot high. The other 2 -inch ridge flow will drop to the gp'ound level and pass under the floor of the dwelling, to heat three rooms there. The rooms are all on the first floor and are 8x8, 8x12 and 14x20. They will be heat- ed with two radiators. The expansion tank is to be placed at the highest point, at the south end, where the 2%- OeroBiB 6, 1010.

A trio of aged workers in horticul- tural, agricultural and pomological cir- cles gathered at the dahlia show one evening last week. They were Charles W. Smith, the secretary, who celebrated his eightieth birthday on the opening night; Jacob Swarts, 85 years, and Frank L. Gay, 79. A well twelve feet in diameter and twenty-five feet deep is being dug on the farm of Joseph Kopelman, in Oak- lawn, who intends to have a sufficient supply of water at all times to care for his greenhouses. Frederick E. Newell, the wealthy manufacturing jeweler who died in this city last week, was a brother of D. E. Newell, the florist of Attleboro, Mass. Mrs. P. F. Conley, of 48 Updike street, had six weddings to furnish cut flowers, bouquets and decorations for last week. A daughter of Joshua Vose, of dahlia fame, was married October 5. James Crawshaw, who recently sold his place on Plainfield street, Olney- ville, is now rebuilding the houses which he removed therefrom at his new place in Barrington. T. J.

Speaking from the wholesaler's view- point, last week's business was a de- cided improvement over that of the week previous. The week started in a little slow, as if the same monotonous run of trade might continue, but while the week was yet young, orders picked up surprisingly and stock began to dis- appear rapidly. Eoses, which were rather overplentiful in previous weeks, did not come fast enough last week; this was especially true with the long- stemmed ones. There was also a big demand for lilies, none of which went begging. As yet, the supply of carna- tions is limited and it is an utter im- possibility to keep up with orders for them. The retail trade last week was some- what spasmodic; one day there would be a good rush of business in one sec- tion of town, and the next day it would switch to another section, so the retail- ers were not able to give quite such glowing reports on business as the wholesalers. Shipping trade to neigh- boring towns was most excellent, aid almost invariably the cause for the sud- den demand was brought on by funeral work. We are at present having most agree- able weather, with plenty of sunshine, which is bringing stock along in a fine, healthy condition. Some nice carnations are being cut from the fields. Asters are about done for, there being only a few stragglers brought into the street market by the gardeners; the same holds true with gladioli. Everything considered, trade during the month of September was quite sat- isfactory and the supply of stock was abundant. More business, however, could have been taken care of. The weather throughout the month was ideal. Various Notes. The Dayton Florists' Club, which had been adjourned for the summer months, held its regular monthly busi- ness meeting at the J. F. Young estab- lishment on East Fifth street, October 3. Quite a large rejjrcsentation was present and much interest was manifest among the members. Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Schaefer, of the Advance Floral Co., are the proud par- ents of a baby daughter born last week. Needless to say, Mr. Schaefer wears that smile that never comes off, for the new arrival is their first child. Visitors last week were: Fred Lemke, representing W. W. Barnard Co., Chi- cago; E. G. Hill, Richmond, Ind.; Mr. Ludwig, of Livingston Seed Co., Colum- bus, O.; Louis Elsass, of McKellar ^Greenhouses, Chillicothe, O.; Henry Ehr- hardt, Sidney, O.; J. Q. Mulford, Leb- anon, O. R. A. B.

Knipe has recently completed another carnation house, 25x150 feet, giving him over 12,000 feet of modern glass. Mr. Enipe installed a new heat- ing plant last season. He recently was married and has just moved into a fine little bungalow. His greenhouses are well stocked with carnations, roses, mums, violets, lilies and palms, and he is doing a prosperous retail trade. Fred Kelley has enjoyed an excellent business, largely cemetery trade, and has had to add two large greenhouses to his range, with a new heating apparatus. His establishment* is known as the Crown Point Greenhouses. Some people think that in a short time Kokomo will take the laurels away from New Castle as the rose growing center of Indiana. L. A. Coles now has over 15,000 feet of glass devoted exclusively to Beauties, shipping his cut to the J. B. Deamud Co., Chicago. Mr. Coles won a prize on his Beauties at the last Chi- cago show against keen competition. Boses are in fine form at the estab- lishment of Walter W. Coles. They have been cutting Monrovia chrysanthe- mums for some time. Mr. Coles devotes a large part of his glass to mums, ship- ping a considerable part to the whole- sale market. His carnations made an excellent start this year and he has been cutting stock with fair stems for some time. He is devoting considerable space to his crimson seedling, named Mrs. Walter W. Coles, which it is said he will shortly disseminate. W. A. & J. S. Bitler have just com- pleted a 35-foot brick stack and feel that their heating troubles are about '^^'p'- W. A. B.

A Substitute for Crepe Chasing. "Advertising is a peculiar proposi- tion— the more you do of it the less you think you know about it — but in busi- ness today one simply must advertise or drop behind; either that or chase crepe. ' ' The epigram was coined by H. P. Knoble, but epigrams never are to be taken literally. Mr. Knoble did not mean the remark to be applied to any particular case, or individual — it wasn 't personal; it was just his attention-grip- ping way of saying that if one doesn't advertise he has got to work all the harder, by some other method, to keep up with the procession. Knoble Bros, started their retail flower store in Cleveland four years ago, adopted advertising as the readiest means of reaching the public, and who have been consistent advertisers ever since, A Task for Strong Minds. This is the time of year that retail florists are preparing to put into effect their plans for booming business this fall, and with an increasing number these preparations include at least a little advertising in the leading local paper. Florists have been slow to take up adve»-tising, but it never is too late to commence — it's like turning over a new leaf: you don't need to wait till New Year's, except that it gives you an excuse for not yet awhile doing yourself a benefit that calls for the ex- ercise of a little of your own mental power. For advertising, no matter how easy it is to say "yes" to the solicitor, or how much easier to say, ' ' No, I won't consider it," really requires some little actual thought if it is going to be worth the money it will cost. Because so many retailers are inter- ested in advertising, Mr. Knoble 's plan will be of value as affording a basis for a beginning by those similarly situated in other cities. An All-Season Plan. "In the autumn we start out with sales on Boston ferns and other plants for the home. Then come some Hal- lowe'en suggestions, followed by a gen- eral talk on good mums, with a cut of some. This leads up to the Thanksgiv- ing ads that aim to show the incom- pleteness of the flowerless dinner table. After Thanksgiving we start the Christ- mas advertising, running cuts and text on immortelle and boxwood wreaths; later we cover other lines of the holi- day stock. In January we got up a series of flower talks — fifteen in all — each devoted to some one suggestion for the use of flowers and pointing out the ease and satisfaction of ordering flowers from Knoble 's. In February we broke into the series of flower talks with some successful ads on corsage bouquets, showing them up as without equal aq valentines, and, say, how they did sell! March we devote to adver- tising Easter goods, usually running plain type, no cuts. After Easter we talk boxwood trees for lawns, etc. Then a digression for Memorial day, and after that wedding bouquets for the June brides. "Up to this year that ended the sea- son, but during July and August of this year we ran the spray ad, to see if the flower business had become an all-the- year-round occupation. We conclude it has." So much for the plan. You see, Mr, Knoble has it all figured out in ad- vance; he doesn't go at it spasmodic- ally, advertising only when some so- licitor asks him to, and neglecting it otherwise; not he; he knows what time he has to cover and how far his money will go. This is what he says about the "to be a good fellow" kind of advertising: The One Best Paper Is Enough. ' ' We started in business four years ago, and have always advertised a little, that's like going after big game with a shotgun. ' ' Mr. Knoble didn 't form his conclu- sion hastily; it represents four years of costly experience that ought to be of real money value to others. After try- ing everything that came along, "just to oblige the solicitors," he says, "we went to the other extreme and did noth- ing at all except in the city directory and the telephone directory. We paid the extra price of preferred space, but soon found that we could do better if we changed our copy more frequently. Next we tried the largest daily paper, only going into it every Friday, with a space that ran all the way from four inches single column to six, or even eight, inches double .column. From this we got good results; it was the real beginiiing of our advertising. What Experience Taught. "As our business grew, of course, our appropriation for advertising grew, so we went in twice a week, on Tuesday and Friday evenings. Next we took up the best Sunday paper and have since been in it every Sunday. Since last June we have been running in another daily evening paper, but somewhat, against our better judgment, and since October 1 we have gone in on the sec- ond largest Sunday paper, but only on trial. Our firm belief is that the one best evening paper and the one best Sunday paper reach all the buyers we need, without going into anything else.

A Substitute for Crepe Chasing. "Advertising is a peculiar proposi- tion— the more you do of it the less you think you know about it — but in busi- ness today one simply must advertise or drop behind; either that or chase crepe. ' ' The epigram was coined by H. P. Knoble, but epigrams never are to be taken literally. Mr. Knoble did not mean the remark to be applied to any particular case, or individual — it wasn 't personal; it was just his attention-grip- ping way of saying that if one doesn't advertise he has got to work all the harder, by some other method, to keep up with the procession. Knoble Bros, started their retail flower store in Cleveland four years ago, adopted advertising as the readiest means of reaching the public, and who have been consistent advertisers ever since. A Task for Strong Minds. This is the time of year that retail florists are preparing to put into effect their plans for booming business this fall, and with an increasing number these preparations include at least a little advertising in the leading local paper. Florists have been slow to take up advertising, but it never is too late to commence — it 's like turning over a new leaf: you don't need to wait till New Year's, except that it gives you an excuse for not yet awhile doing yourself a benefit that calls for the ex- ercise of a little of your own mental power. ^For advertising, no matter how easy it is to say "yes" to the solicitor, or how much easier to say, "No, I won't consider it," really requires some little actual thought if it is going to be worth the money it will cost. Because so many retailers are inter- ested in advertising, Mr. Knoble 's plan will be of value as affording a basis for a beginning by those similarly situated in other cities. An All-Season Plan. "In the autumn we start out with sales on Boston ferns and other plants for the home. Then come some Hal- lowe'en suggestions, followed by a gen- eral talk on good mums, with a cut of some. This leads up to the Thanksgiv- ing ads that aim to show the incom- pleteness of the flowerless dinner table. After Thanksgiving we start the Christ- mas advertising, running cuts and text on immortelle and boxwood wreaths; later we cover other lines of the holi- day stock. In January we got up a series of flower talks — fifteen in all — each devoted to some one suggestion for the use of flowers and pointing out the ease and satisfaction of ordering flowers from Knoble 's. In February we broke into the series of flower talks with some successful ads on corsage bouquets, showing them up as without equal aq valentines, and, say, how they did sell! March we devote to adver- tising Easter goods, usually running plain type, no cuts. After Easter we talk boxwood trees for lawns, etc. Then a digression for Memorial day, and after that wedding bouquets for the June brides. "Up to this year that ended the sea- son, but during July and August of this year we ran the spray ad, to see if the flower business had become an all-the- vear-round occupation. We conclude it has."

That's putting a 4-inch ad in the hands of more than 270 people for a penny. The Sunday issue of the Plain Dealer does almost as well; it gives 114,000 circulation for $1.53 per inch. Of course, the others cost more in proportion, the smaller papers always do," Few florists tackle the subject of ad- vertising in such a business-like way that they set aside any definite sum for advertising — they go at it catch- as-catch-can. For a while they spend quite a little, taking in everything that comes along, perhaps on the theory that all advertising is better than none, when they wake up to the fact that it has run into quite a sum. Then they go to the other extreme, and you couldn't separate them from a dollar with anything lesp than a free write- up — almost anyTnah will fall for that, never stopping to consider that the papers that are freest with the salve are the ones that it is least worth while to be in. But this is the way Knoble Bros, fix the amount of their expend- iture: "At present we allow about seven and one-half per cent of our gross busi- ness for advertising; we spend it regu- larly, and it is paying us well." How It Pays. Just how well it pays is an interest- ing point. In spite of some belief to the contrary, it is' easy to trace returns from advertising. You can see the work of the ads in the sales tickets, or in the cash book. Of the spray ad here reproduced, Mr. Knoble, who writes all the copy himself, says: "This has brought big returns. The summer months always are considered dull by the faithful, so we concluded we would spend some money this sum- mer to see if we couldn't liven things up a little. The spray ad was what we did it with. During July our busi- ness increased about fifteen per cent over last year, but in August it just ran wild, increasing over sixty-two per cent as compared with 1909, and Sep- tember did equally well. "You see, it took about a month for the ad to get its roots down into the soil, but when it took hold its fruits were fine. We are undecided about dropping the spray ad for our other I stuff, but probably will run it in con- ' nection with the rest of the season's series. "On the whole, we are well satisfied with our investment in advertising, and give it at least a part of the creiSt for our being — nowadays you can't just sit down and wait for business to come to you; you've got to go out after it; not only go after it, but go after it hard, and keep going. or, where this is not understood, they can at least awaken a love for the beautiful. The window that I have in mind was planned to suggest the appropriateness of a floral offering upon the arrival of a baby girl or boy. In the center of the window was placed a vase contain- ing a number of pockets for single flowers. These pockets were filled with bright yellow dahlias of the single type, YeUow Century, I think it was, their canary-like color contrasting prettily with the dark vase and darker bifek- ground. Around the vase and at the back of the window were various sug- gestions of baby days. I will not out- rage the inventive ingenuity of my readers by describing these dainty touches, leaving it to his or her taste to add whatever is necessary to awaken the idea in the happy father's mind as • he trudges home from business that a floral offering would not only be accept- able, but appropriate. Nor do I mean to say that dahlias should be used — far from it; doubtless you will think of something quite as good or better, only teach the lesson; teach it in your own way. 1 am in- debted to Charles Henry Fox for this idea but poorly described. Phil. THE USSSOM* IN A WINDOW. The shop window as a means of carry- ing a message is being studied more and more by our floral artists. They aim to express a sentiment, bringing it out more or less strongly as their tastes dictate. Through its aid they are able to cultivate the love for flowers, to at- tach a meaning quite unknown to many. ANOTHEE WESTERN WEDDING. In The Review of October 6 there appeared an illustration of a wedding decoration by the Stegall Floral Co.^ Texarkana, Ark, To avoid any con- ception that the picture showed the ex- ceptional rather than the ordinary class of decorations used in Texarkana, here is another one, in another church, cov- ering more space and more elaborate in all particulars.

This decoration, composed principally of palms, ferns, smilax and green fes- tooning, with chrysanthemums, roses and carnations for cut flowers, is an excellent example of a tasteful decora- tion and worthy of study by other re- tailers, but the inscription over the wedding bell would better be omitted. Every now and then this is called for, and florists, of course, have to provide that which their patrons wish, but it may be taken that those who receive invitations to the wedding are likely to know what is going on, without hav- ing the names of the contracting par- ties lettered in chenille, as lettering still is done on a certain class of funeral designs. A WATERPEOOF KIBBON. In the flower business, as in Wall street, water appears to be a necessary evil, and every florist knows the trou- ble occasioned through the wetting of the ribbons, which have come to be an indispensable part of up-to-date flower arrangements. Often the condition of the textiles reflects little credit on the florist, after exposure to the moisture necessary to preserve the freshness of the flowers. Wertheimer Bros., of New York, now come forward with the statement that they have perfected a waterproof ribbon without injuring the luster of fabric in any way. It will be recalled that this firm was the intro- ducer of the now quite generally used Sprinkleproof chiffon, and they say that their waterproof ribbon will prove a worthy companion, marking an epoch in the florists' ribbon business. Bryantville, Mass. — The Halifax Gar- dens Co., which formerly devoted its glass to vegetables, is this season giving half its space to carnations, chrysan- themums and sweet peas. STORING GLADIOLUS BULBS. Will you kindly inform me how I best can store gladiolus bulbs through the winter? What is the best tempera- ture to keep them in? Is it a good way to pack them in dry sand in the cellar after they are well cured? W. E. After lifting, cut the stems back to within four to six inches of the bulb. Let them dry well before housing. Shelves in any cellar or shed, where an average winter temperature a little above freezing can be maintained, will keep gladioli well. Any place which "wilMieep potatoes or dahlia tubers will be suitable for gladioli. I^ frosts can be excnided withotfr^Tentmrse to fire heat, alAthe better. The bulbs will keep welr-p5$k^ in dry sand, and if your store place goes a few degrees be- low freezing, the bulbs will then take no harm. A dry atmosphere is of course necessary. C. W. any violet? Besides Herrick, we grow Princess of Wales and California. Could we plant our Herricks from the field now in a bench in an Enchantress carnation house which we run at 48 to 52 degrees, and obtain good results financially? The climate in this part of Washington state is moist and the tem- perature scarcely falls to zero during winter. c. "K. GOV. HEBBICK VIOLETS. In The Eeview of September 22 wc find E. V. Rice's little talk on the Gov. Herrick violet. Now, we have good success with Herricks. We have them in frames containing hot water pipes and keep the temperature at 45 to 50 degrees in winter. But ours are always late, because some writers ad- vocate freezing before putting on the glass. Do you find this necessary for In reply to C. K.'s inquiry about the lateness of his Gov. Herrick violets, I would say that they should not be frosted, as that stops the growth. In case he has apy uncovered now, it will be well to put on the glass as soon as possible. They must have plenty of water. I water my violets every night after the sun is down, as that makes the stems longer and keeps red spider down. As for growing them with carnations, they will do well if on ground beds, but if on benches, I cannot say, at least un- less they are kept wet. Field-grown plants will not bloom as well or as early as pot-grown ones, as the field- grown plants make lots of roots and yon cut them off when digging them, and your plant is then too large for the roots it has left. Princess of Wales and California should have a little frost to check the growth, but if they are planted where they are to remain they will go on blooming with but few days of delay, which means quick returns. As an example of good returns from Gov. Herrick violets, it might be well to state what we are now doing. About the middle of August we set 2,000 2^^- inch Gov. Herrick in the house. We are now — in the first week of October — picking about 500 violets per day, and in a week we expect to pick 1,000 per day from the same lot of plants. I have tried all other kinds of single violets, but none can equal the Gov. Herrick. E. V. Eice. The Weekly Florists^ Review* October 13, 1910. Think a Whitmani Fern for 50c.

Kv-ery now and then this is called for, and florists, of course, have to provide that which their patrons wish, but it uiay be taken that those who receive invitations to the wedding are likely to know what is going on, without hav- ing the names of the contracting par- ties lettered in chenille, as lettering still is done on a certain class of funeral designs. A WATERPROOF RIBBON. In the flower business, as in Wall street, water appears to be a necessary evil, and every florist knows the trou- h\e occasioned through the wetting of the ribbons, which have come to be an indispensable part of up-to-date flower arrangements. Often the condition of the textiles reflects little credit on the florist, after exposure to the moisture necessary to preserve tlu> freshness of the flowers. Wertheimer Uros., of New York, now come forward with the statement that they have perfected a waterproof ribbon without injuring the luster of fabric in any way. It will be recalled that this firm was the intro- ducer of the now quite generally used Sprinkleproof chitTon. and they say that their waterproof ribbon will prove a worthy companion, marking an epoch in the florists' ribbon business.

Is it a good way to pack them in dry sand in tiu^ cellar after they are well cured? W. K.

There are two new roses at Sharou Hill, Pa., in the greenhouses of Robert Scott & Son, that will interest florists all over the country. Both these roses are of famous Irish blood and both will be sent out next spring. The following descriptions are the result of a stroll through the rose houses with Alexander B. Scott a few days ago. Mr. Scott is a true lover of roses and an excellent judge of their merits. Melody. Melody is a yellow rose of the famous Dickson strain, from Newtownards, Ire- land, that has been on trial for three years. It is a hybrid tea of rapid growth, extraordinarilj' free flowering and apparently possessing all the re- quirements of a good forcing variety. The flowers are yellow, shaded to a deeper color, that may be described as apricot, in the center. The buds are long and pointed, of moderate size in mild weather and increasing as it grows colder. In fact, Melody is de- scribed as a cold weather rose, requir- ing Bridesmaid temperature, one that can be depended upon to bloom under good treatment and bloom freely from October to April. The stems are of good length and willowy, perfectly able to support the bud, but not of poker- like stiflfness. This quality will appeal to floral artists who know the value of a willowy stem that lends itself readily to any arrangement. Melody is iret considered a good warm weather rosfexbut its wonderful freedom in cold weather more than makes up for this limitation. Edward Swartz, who has had charge of Melody since its arrival at Sharon Hill, says it is the freest bloomer he has ever grown. Figures are given of the wonderful cut from each plant in De- cember and again in February that speak more strongly than words of this most important virtue. Like many other yellow roses, Melody does better on its own roots than when grafted on Manetti and Mr. Scott will not graft any more of this variety for his own use, preferring to depend entirely on own-root stock. Apart from any busi- ness interest in the matter, Mr. Scott is enthusiastic over Melody, believing, as Mr. Dickson's agent, he will be instru- mental in brinijing out the best yellow rose that has ever been grown in America. Double Killamey. Double Killamey is a pink sport from the pink Killarney and originated at Sharon Hill three years ago. The name, Double Killarney, exactly describes this rose. The standard set by Mr. Scott is that it must have at least five more petals than Killarney. The parent rose has, let us say, fifteen petals; Doiible Killarney has from twenty to thirty, giving the flower size and sub- stance that are most desirable. There is one other difference between Double Killarney and Killarney; the new va riety is a shade lighter in color than its parent. This shade is considered an advantage by tliosc who have seen it; it is certainly not a disadvantage. The Killarney range at Sharon Hill contains about 22,000 plants; of these ten per cent, or 2,200, are Double Kil- larney. No difference in habit or growth could be noticed between the parent and the newer variety. Edward Swartz, who has grown Double Killar- ney since first noticed at Sharon Hill, believes that if there is any difference it is of stronger growth. It will be sent out in March, 1911. So carefully is the reputation of the new variety guarded that each plant is marked for propagation as it blooms; should the flowers of any plant fail to reach the 20-petal standard set by Mr. Scott, it will not be marked and no cuttings will be sent out from it. Phil. PEOTECTING OUTDOOR BOSES. Will you tell me the best method of protecting hybrid tea rose plants through the winter? The plants are small, having been planted late in the spring. Occasionally the thermometer falls as low as 10 degrees below zero here. These plants were not planted where wanted. Can they be lifted and put in a permanent bed next spring* If so, please let me know how best to go about replanting them. C. E. H. If you have a coldframe, the best plan will be to lift the roses just before the ground freezes up. Plant them quite closely in the frame, being sure to wet the roots well, and pack the soil about the roots. Leave the plants fully ex- posed until quite severe weather sets in, when the sashes can be placed over them. A scattering of dry hay, straw or leaves over them to exclude direct sunlight can also be given. Air the plants freely during mild weather and plant out in the spring as soon as the ground is in a working condition. If you have no coldframe, bury the plants in a trench on ground with a gentle slope, laying them on their sides and placing a coating of strawy manure on the surface to help exclude frost. W. N. C. BOSE MANETTI. What is the color of the Manetti rose? Is it single or double? When is the best time to sow this rose? R. G. This is a form of R. Chinensis, the well-known China or Bengal rose. The flowers are pink in color, usually single, but occasionallv semi-double. C. W. FALL SEEDING OF SWEET PEAS. We are growers of sweet peas and have been quite successful in early spring planting, but have had little success in fall planting for the next sea- son 's outdoor crop. Will you kindly advise us when to plant in the fall and how? Also how to protect through the winter? Would you have them come up several inches and then cover with mulch or dry straw to protect the green vines, or simply plant the seeds in a way to have them lie dormant for early spring? If the latter, will they not rot? S. F. G. While some growers have good suc- cess with sweet peas sown in the fall, the method has not met with the ap- proval of many growers. Seed should be sown only a short time before the ground freezes. Cover the seeds about three inches. The ground should, of course, be well prepared in advance. The growths should not come up before freezing-up weather. When the ground has been hard frozen, mulch with straw or meadow hay. If you do so while the ground is still soft, mice are liable to destroy the seeds. Remove the mulch as soon as possible after frost has left it, and stir up the ground well. It is nec- essary to plant on ground where no water can stand. Run the rows north and south. I think you would find, however, that by starting the seeds in small pots in a coldframe early in March and planting OCTOBKB 13, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 9 these out about the middle of April a foot apart, you will get fully as early flowers, and at a great deal less worry .•ind expense. C, W. BEST BUTTERFLY SWEET PEAS. Will you tell me the correct name of the strain of sweet peas known as the Jkitterfly type? Also give the name of the best variety of white, pink and white, lavender and light pink. When is the best time to sow seed, in order to be in full crop for Easter, 1911, and later? G. W. H. A few of the more desirable varieties of the Butterfly or Spencer type of sweet peas are: White Spencer, pure white; Countess Spencer, delicate pink; Florence Spencer, rosy pink; Asta Ohn, delicate lavender; Apple Blossom, bright rose; King Edward, crimson scar- let, and Mrs. Routzahn, delicate pink on apricot ground. There is also a Blanche Ferry Spencer, pink and white, if your trade calls for this color. Sow your seed the first week in Jan- uary. It takes the Spencers longer to flower than the old type. C. W. FOE SUMMER BLOOMING. t What strain of summer blooming car- nations can you recommend for flower- ing outside, for cutting until inside stock is ready in the fall? When should seed be sown? Can any other way be suggested to supply carnations through- out the summer? B. H. I.. I know of no strain of dianthus grown from seed that can compare in quality with the varieties of carnations we grow for winter flowering. Some of the hardy border carnations produce blooms of good quality, but they only bloom for a short time in the early summer and can not be counted on to fill the gap between the inside seasons. The most practical way is to propa- gate some cuttings early and to shift them on into 3-inch or 4-inch pots be- fore planting time. These, if watered well, will give a good cut of blooms during August and September. Nearly all the varieties grown inside will do for this purpose, except the Lawson va- rieties. They are too short-stemmed to b6 of ally use so early in the season. A. F. J. B. LEAF-SPOT ON LAWSON. I bought 100 Lawson carnation plants and they seem to be diseased. Will you please tell me what the trouble is? E. G. B. Your experience is not a new one with this variety. It has always been a .poor shipper. Being rather sensitive about lifting, even at best, it is apt to gi,ve even more trouble when shipped, in which case the plants would be out of the soil a couple of days. You will also find that the later you lift Mrs. Lawson the more trouble you will have in getting the plants reestablished. The successful growers of this variety house it uniformly early, while the plants are medium sized and fairly hard. Perhaps the best way of all to handle this va- riety is to grow it in the house all sum- mer. Should you wish to try to save these plants, I would advise you to follow the same directions as given for fairy ring on page 13 of The Review for Septem- ber 29. Your plants are covered with the common spot, which belongs to the same class of diseases as the fairy ring. A. F. J. B. WEAK STEMS, SMALL BLOOMS. Under separate cover I send you some buds and blooms of Perfection carna- tions. These were planted in the bench about the last part of August. We pinched off only a few shoots or buds and these blooms come from practically the first shoots. The plants look healthy, but are rather spindling. The blooms are about the same way, thin and weak. Do you think this comes from the fact that they are the first ones, or is there some disease on them? If so, what shall we do? Last spring our carnations were at- tacked by fairy ring. The blooms look now about as they did then, though not nearly so bad, but the plants have no brown tips on the leaves. Soon after planting them in the house, remember- ing that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, we took to spraying the plants once or twice a week with Bordeaux mixture, but have now stopped, as we wanted to use the cut blooms. We have kept doors and ventilators wide open and have sprayed but little. R. E. G. There does not seem to be any dis- ease on the specimens forwarded, but I did find plenty of thrips. Those brown edges on the petals are caused by these pests. Get after them with tobacco in whatever form it may be most available, just as quickly and as strongly as you can. We find that White Perfection usu- ally produces rather slender stems in the first crop in the fall. A little wood ashes will help to stiffen them. The next crop will come stronger and with larger blooms. Did you notice, when you dug them from the field, those eyes which started all along the stems? If you were careful not to rub these off. they will come along and make the highest grade blooms during the winter, A. F. J. B. MOLES IN GREENHOUSE SOIL. I have some solid beds that are planted with carnations and chrysan- themums. There are moles working un- der them and loosening up the plants. What can I do to drive them out or kill them? I have tried to catch them, but always miss them. A. V. B. The best weapon we have ever found to use against moles is patience and a spade. We have found that the moles are usually active early in the morning and again about noon. By flattening down the ridge where they have gone, you can see their movements as they ])ass through again, lifting the soil as they move along. A quick dig and ^'* sharp whack will do the rest. We have tried traps, but never had any success witli them — ^just why, I can not say. The traps seem to be built correctly, as far as I can see. A. F. J. B. HYDRANGEA ARBORESCENS. Is Hj'drangea arborescens grandiflora alba good for forcing? What should be the treatment of plants now growing in the field with two to five stalks, so as to have them in bloom in May? J. A. F. Hydrangea arborescens grandiflora makes a good pot plant. It will not stand as much forcing as the better known H. hortensis. Dig up your plants carefully now, preserving all roots pos- sible. After potting, stand them out- doors until they have had considerable frost. So long as the pots are pro- tected, the wood is benefited rather than harmed by the frost. To have them in flower for Memorial day, start the jilants from the middle to the end of January, in a night temperature of ")() degrees. They are better if not sub- jected to strong heat at any stage of their growth. If wanted early in May, house the plants about January 1. e.w. % r 1 10 The Weekly Florists' Review. OCTOBEB 13, 1910. DISEASE IN THE GIOANTEUMS. One of the advantages of giganteura lily bulbs for forcing has been their freedom from disease, but that the im- munity is not to be perpetual is shown by the accompanying illustration, which is from a photograph made in Japan July 30 of the present year. This shows a field of giganteums attacked by the plant- louse. Those who are engaged in the import bulb business seek to ex- clude such bulbs from their stock, but because they cannot be planted over successfully, the bulbs eventually find their way to the market and later into American greenhouses, where they of course fail to give the results expected. Growers who have thought that all that it was necessary to do was to specify that they were to receive giganteums may find that it will be necessary to take precautions to see that they get the right article. Not only will gigan- teums be short this year, but there will be all sorts of qualities. g rS-.'^^<»^.'»H. •U^^^^<^^id^-U^-^^-^i^'^f9i'^^'U^'U^'^i^, SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS t Iiilium Harrisii. To have Lilium Harrisii in flower for the holidaj's, the plants must be pushed right along now. A night temperature of 68 to 70 degrees, with a free use of the hose overhead and a weekly fumiga- tion to keep aphis in check, is what they need. Apply liquid manure twice a week. While we are still enjoying warm and summer-like weather, we must not forget that in November and December the light and solar heat are greatly lessened, and the flower buds to be on time should be so that they can lie counted a month hence. Formosa Lilies. Formosa lilies do not all start at once, as the Harrisii invariably do. Some may be a foot or more high while others have not pushed through the soil. The earlier ones can be given a house with more heat, say 60 degrees at night. Their flowers will be useful in January, when flowers are generally not over- abundant. These Formosas grow all the way from a foot to six feet high and are quite a variable type. They are, or have been, free from disease. Their flowers are fine and possess excellent texture, rendering them ideal for mar- ket purposes. The number grown will be immensely increased this year, espe- cially in view of the report of serious damage to crops of multiflorums and giganteums in Japan. Primulas. In order to have plants of Primula obconica and Sinensis in nice flower for ('hristmas, they should now have a tem- jierature of 48 to 50 degrees at night. Anything higher will make them drawn and spindly. If not wanted until later in the winter, the night temperature should not exceed 42 to 4.5 degrees. Quite a few flower spikes will now be pushing on many of the plants, and as there is some sale for pot stock at Thanksgiving, the earliest can be used for that occasion.- Do not crowd the plants. It is a good plan to elevate some on inverted pots, especially the larger ones. Be careful about feeding. Any strong dose will do a lot of harm, which no after care can remedy. Weak cow manure water with some soot in it once a week will keep the foliage that healthy dark green one loves to see. Unless wanted early, the primulas can be kept in a well built frame for some weeks longer. It is better to afford them a little shade during the hottest part of the day, the Chinese section needing it more than the obconicas and Kewensis. Hydrangeas. Any hydrangea plants still in the field should be potted at once. The advan- tage of earlier potting is that the plants have a chance to pretty well fill the pots with roots before winter sets in, and they are thus the better fitted for forc- ing. Established plants in pots and tubs may now have their water supply gradually reduced, in order to harden up the wood and make it of that nutty brown color which is so desirable. Means must be taken to protect the plants from severe frost. If still green and soft, a temperature of 20 to 22 de- grees will blacken the foliage and prob- ably kill many of the flower buds. Sambler Boses. Crimson Eamblers, and possibly some of the pink varieties, which usually con- tinue to grow later than the older vari- ety, should now be completing their growths, if pot grown, and the water supply should be decreased to assist in hardening up the wood; not to the ex- tent of dust dryness, by any means, as this would mean shriveled rather than well hardened wood. The plants should have all possible sun, and to somewhat counteract reduced moisture at the root the plants can have a spraying with the hose once or twice a day. After the middle of the month those with the best ripened wood can be laid on their sides. Soaking rains will have a tendency to keep them soft and growing. It is yet somewhat early to dig up and pot field- grown ramblers. Canterbury Bells. The present Ts a suitable time to dig up and pot a. number of strong plants of Canterbury bells, giving a preference to the single or calycanthema (hose-in- hose) varieties. Stand the pots outdoors and leave them there until sharp frost necessitates their removal under glass. They should have some frost before forcing, which should not begin before Christmas. If lifted with a good bunch of roots, the plants will show little signs of a check after potting. Freesias. It is time to place the earliest batch of freesias in a house kept at 50 to 52 degrees at night, provided they are wanted for Christmas flowering or the early part of January. Be sure they are well supplied with water, and when the pans are well filled with roots, use weak liquid manure once in four or five days. Avoid strong doses, which will cause the ends of the foliage to become brown, just as fumigation will do. Any bulbs not yet placed in pans or flats should be got in now. They will only dissipate their strength if allowed to remain out of the soil any longer. POTTINO GIGANTEUMS. When the bulbs of black-stemmed gi ganteums are received in October, should they be potted and left outside for a couple of months, or brought inside at once and placed under carnation benches for a while? B. M. G. C. Giganteums and any other lilies, with the exception of candidum, should after potting be placed under sash protection Field of Giganteunu in Japan Afiected by Plant Loose. OCTOB£B 13, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review. 11 in a coldframe, or in a pit, shed or cellar, where the sun will not dry up the potB, and should be brought into light as soon as the shoots appear above the ground. The pots would do under a carnation bench; the drip, however, from the benches is not good for the lilies and any place free from drip is much to be preferred. Lay some moss . over the pots if you place them under the benches. This is to prevent the drying of the surface soil. The water supply aflforded lilies should be carefully given until the pots are full of roots. C.W. EDWAED A. FOBTEK. E. A. Forter, the recently elected treasurer of the Cincinnati Florists' So- ciety, has been connected with the trade for thirty-two years. He is a son-in-law of the founder of the firm of A. Sunder- bruck's Sons, of which he is now a ^ member. By his genial disposition and his square methods in business dealings, both with his patrons and with his as- sociates in the trade, he has made many friends. The present office is the first elective office he has held in the local society. In the summer of 1909 he was treasurer of the Cincinnati convention committee, and his election shows the club's appreciation of his work in that capacity. ILLINOIS STATE FAIR. From the florists' point of view, the Illinois State Fair this year was a much greater success than in any previous season. Held at Springfield October 3 to 8, the authorities adopted the excel- lent plan of providing for cut flower exhibits to be staged each day. The larger part of the florists' section, in- cluding a full list of roses and carna- tions as well as the pot plants, were staged October 4, and the fuU list of awards was published in The Eeview for October 6. The quality of the stock staged each day was exceptionally fine for so early in the season. The one criticism of the show, the premiums be- ing liberal, was the fact that no atten- tion was paid to attractive staging. Nearly all the exhibits were placed on a cement floor, with a pipe railing to keep the visitors from walking among the flowers. Money spent for artistic arrangement would be a splendid in- vestment, and is to be desired, even if at the expense of appropriation for some other purpose. The awards Wednesday, October 5, were as follows: Twenty-'flvc American Beauties — Poeblmann Bros. Co., Chicago, first; Janssen Seed & Floral Co., Springflpld, 111., second; A. C. Brown, Springfield.

Any hydraiigi'a plants still in the field should be potted at once. The advan- tage of earlier jjotting is that the plants have a (diance to pretty well fill the pots with roots before winter sets in, and they are thus the better fitted for forc- ing. Established plants in pots and tubs may now have their water supply gradually reduced, in order to harden nj) the wood and make it of that nutty brown color which is so desirable.

One of the articles which has made its appearance in many retail stores this season is the combined jardiniere plant tub and stand shown in the accompany- ing illustration. This is made from quartered white oak, with the popular weathered finish, filled and polished. The tub is bound with brass hoops and has brass handles, which adds much to the appearance of the stand. It is one of the specialties for florists manufac- tured by the American Woodenware Mfg. Co., of Toledo, and is handled by most of the supply houses through the country. PERENNIALS TOE CUT FLOWEBS. I intend to plant four large sized beds with hardy perennials and should be thankful if you would let me know of a few good varieties for cut flowert, giving the color, height and time of flowering. The beds are each eight feet wide and twenty feet long. E. P. The beds in question should be heav- ily manured and deeply spaded. This advice may seem somewhat hackneyed, but if you want good perennials which will grow vigorously, withstand droughty conditions and give an abundance of flowers, you can hardly prepare the ground too liberally. Near- ly all perennials are strong feeders, and you will be well repaid for any e3(tra Sains you take in preparing the ground, early all perennials succeed better planted in the fall than in the spring, October being an excellent month for this purpose. Some of the best perennials for cut- ting are the following: Doronicum Harpur Crewe, two and one-half feet, yellow. May; Aquilegias chrysantha and cwrulea, two feet, various shades, all beautiful, May and June; Achillea Ptar- mica the Pearl, white, June to Septem- ber, a useful flower; Campanula Me- dium, single, and C. calycanthema, bien- nials, but indispensable for cutting in the hardy borders, colors white, mauve, dark blue, pink, two to two and one- half feet, June; Veronica longifolia sub- sessilis, rich blue, July and August, two feet; Tritoma Pfitzeri and Express, July to September, three to four feet, crimson and yellow; Rudbeckia lanceo- lata Golden Glow, common, but fine for cutting, six feet or more, golden yellow, July and August; Rudbeckia purpurea, rosy purple, two and one-half feet, July and August; Phlox paniculata, a few first-class sorts of which are F. G. Von Lassburg and Le Cygne, white; Le Mahdi, reddish violet; Pantheon, car- mine rose; ("oquelicot, pure scarlet; Bridesmaid, white, crimson eye; Henry Murger, white, rose eye; Mme. Paul Dutrie, delicate rose; another phlox of the earlier flowering or suff'ruticosa sec- tion is Miss Lingard, white, delicate pink eye, blooms from June to October. This is the finest phlox grown. The other phloxes bloom from July to October. In delphiniums formosum coelestinum, light blue, and Belladonna, turquoise blue, are grand. * The Chinese section in deep blue and pure white, D. Chi- nense, are also splendid for cutting. The latter grow two and one-half feet; the former, five to six feet. Digi- talis gloxiniffflora, foxglove, three to five feet, June, is a valuable early perennial. Gypsophila paniculata, two to two and one-half feet, is one of the florists' great stand-bys. The double form is even better, pure white in color, July and August. Funkia subeordata grandiflora is pure white, fragrant, August, two feet. Helianthus multi- flqrus plenus, H. rigidus Miss Mellish and H. Wolley Dod are three hardy sunflowers, which will give a succession from July to September, four to six feet. Hemerocallis flava, yellow, May and June; H. Thunbergii, yellow, July, and H. aurantiaca major, double yellow, July, are all fine for cutting. Other good stand-bys are: Heuchera sanguinea, two feet, August, coral red; Coreopsis grandiflora, yellow, two and one-half feet, June to September; Lo- belia cardinalis, scarlet, three feet, July and August; Lychnis vespertina, double white, one and one-h^f feet, all summer; Papaver orientale, scarlet, three feet, May; Pyrethrum uliginosum, five feet, pure white, August and Sep- tember, grand for cutting; P. hybridum, two feet, many colors, May and June; Astilbe Chinensis, pink, June and July, two feet; Stokesia cyanea, tw6, feet, lavender blue, July to September, beau- ^-~fti New Plant Tub and Stand. tiful; Valeriana officinalis, rose-pink, July, sweet-scented, two to three feet. Peonies, of course, should be included, if not grown elsewhere. They would be better, however, in nursery rows. Half a dozen fine sorts in doubles are: Fes- tiva maxima, white; Queen Victoria, white, early; Francois' Ortegat, crim- son; Duchesse de Nemours (Guerin), rosy pink; Mme. de Verneville, white; Humei, rose-pink. Irises are among the most valuable of perennials. The Germanica varieties come first, in May and early June, fol- lowed by the Hispanica and Anglica sections. The two latter are bulbous, but live well from year to year. They are grand for cutting in June. In July the gorgeous Ka?mpferi or Japanese sec- tion, in all colors, are in their glory. I. Sibirica Snow Queen is a beautiful, easily grown sort, grand for cutting. Some other good perennials to cut are: Aconitum Napellus, August and September, dark blue, three to five feet; Aster Novaj-Anglift', four feet, Septem- ber, blue, white and pink; Aster Novi- Belgii, Perry's pink, September, four feet; Platycodon Mariesi, eighteen inches, blue, July and August; Physos- tegia Virginica, rosy lilac and white, a splendid subject for cutting, four to five feet, August; Lupinus polyphyllus, blue, white and rose, June, three feet; Lychnis Viscaria splendens, deejJ red, eighteen inches, May and June; He- lenium autumnale superbum,- yellow, August and September, five feet; He- lenium grandiflorum striatum, yellow, red stripes, three feet, August; Euphor- bia eoroUata, eighteen inches, June to August, white; Hyacinthus (Galtonia) candicans, bulbous, perfectly hardy, pure white, July to September; Cam- panula persicifolia, single and double, blue and white, June and July, three feet; the variety Moerheimi, double white, is of special value; Boltonia latis- quama, five feet, August and Septem- ber. Of course, lilies, such as ^^^ieu^osum, tigrinum, Henryi, auratum, jtc, can bo grown in your beds; jvisojjnontbretias, fine to cut from July to October. Sweet- williams, lily of the valley. Clematis recta, pure white, three to four feet, July; Lathyrus latifolius, everlasting pe^; Liatris pycnostachya, (Tosy purple, ft)ur feet, August; Dianthus plumarius, border pink, and the beautiful Japanese anemone, A. Japonica, of which Queen Charlotte and Whirlwind are fine varie- ties, are all grand for cutting. The anemones should be planted in the spring. Practically all other plants named can be set out this fall. This list may be too extended. If so, here is a boiled-down list of varieties you can depend upon: Aquilegia caeru- iea. Anemone Japonica alba, Aster Novae-Angliffi, Lupinus polyphyllus, peonies in variety. Phlox Miss Lingard, Phlox Le Cygne, Iris (Jermanica, Iris Sibirica Snow Queen, Iris Hispanica, Iris Ksempferi, Hemerocallis Thun- bergii, Hemerocallis flava, Convallaria majalis, Pyrethrum uliginosum, Pyre- thrum hybridum, Gypsophila paniculata fl. pi., Campanula persicifolia Moer- heimi, Campanula Medium, Clematis recta, Boltonia latisquama. Digitalis gloxiniaeflora, Coreopsis grandiflora, Helenium autumnale superbum, Helian- thus Miss Mellish, Achillea Ptarmica the Pearl, Physostegia Virginica, Tritoma Pfitzeri and Astilbe Chinensis. C. W. PANSIES IN FBAMES. How can I best protect my pansy plants, which were transplanted about a month ago into a coldframe? I wish to have them good and strong for early trade next spring. M. F. F. Do not place the sashes over the I)lants until the weather becomes quite severe. Then cover the plants with a light coating of perfectly dry leaves or pine needles, whichever you can get most easily. Let the soil b^ hard frozen before putting this mulch on. Put on the sashes, and the only further attention needed during the winter will be to give some air during warm spells. If you have some board shutters to lay over the glass, it will prevent break- ages and consequent wetting of the leaves. If the leaves keep dry and the ground frozen below them, every plant should be fresh when uncovered in early si)rjng. C. W. October 13, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 13 Establishment of W.

They should be potted on into 4-inch and later into Cinch pots, in which size, if kept well watered and fed, they should flower well. If you want larger plants, you can grow some in 8-inch pots. You do not state which variety you are growing. Queen Alex- andra flowers later than the older varie- ties. A temperature of 46 to 50 degrees at night is suitable for the plants, and they will require some pinching until the middle of January. You can take cuttings any time be tween now and Christmas and grow them on into nice plants in 4-inch or 5- iuch pots for Easter, which comes next vear later than usual, April 16. C. W.

PITTSBUEG, PA. The Market. There has been quite an improvement in trade this month, but it is not regu- lar. One day every one is buying and the next day there is nothing doing. However, the general volume of busi- ness will foot up all right. There are jilenty of flowers of all kinds — Beau- ties, roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, dahlias, gladioli, lilies and \iolets. No scarcdty of anything. Various Notes. Hreitenstein & Co. have retired from the retail cut flower business. This is the second retailer to quit this fall, leaving only three large stores in the ilowntown section of the city. .\ street car struck the auto in which Sjimnel McClements and his son were riding Sunday, October !), on their way to church. The sou was thrown from the machine and his hand was badly cut with glass from the broken wind shield. Both were badly shaken up, but consid- ered themselves fortunate to escape so luckily. De Forest Ludwig is taking a scic*!!- tific course at Cornell. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is cut- ting sonu^ extra fine roses at its Bakers- town greenhouses.

Browne, was born in 1870, in Greenfield, Mich., on the same ground where his greenhouses jire now located. For some time his ambition was not along the path which lie is now following, for he taught at the Michigan State Normal College for several years, finally starting in the jlorists' business in 1890. Mr. Browne says that the only important event in his life was when he married, in 1902, and he is now the proud father of two handsome children. The members of tlie Detroit club are congratulating tliemsclvos on having Mr. Browne as the leader this year, for he is bubbling over with enthusiasm for the welfare of the dub. H. S. CINCINNATI. The Market. For the last few days, owing to the four days of dark, cool, inclement weather last week, the supply of flowers has been scarcely able to meet the de- mand. This demand is largeif than usual for this time of the year, because of the request for choice stock for decorations for the many affairs given in honor of the visiting delegates to the triennial convention of the Episcopal church, now in progress. The heavy shipping has also taken up large quantities of stock. The general indications, how- ever, are that by the time this letter is in print chrysanthemums will be in strong. Bright weatlier will bring in other blooms heavier and relieve the tension of the market. The cold, dark days of last week told i>n roses more than any other crop. This, combined with the fact that many varieties were naturally off crop, made the numlHT offered seem small in com- parison to the normal cut. In spite of tiiis, the prices did not stiffen, except in the case of Beauties, which brought a slightly higher average figure. The Ueauties, Brides, My Maryland, Killar- ney and Taft were of the best quality. The last named also held its own in numbers. Carnations are improving and coming in stronger every day. iSome offeretl ;ire almost equal to the best of later in the season. Most of the mums on sale so far are choice ones, and bring top prices. Longiflorum find a ready sale. Dahlias, too, have cleaned up nicely. Lily of the valley and orchids are snapped up every day, and often are <)rdered up in advance. Cosmos, which was off crop for a few days and also |(iit out by the rain, is more plentiful. .*^ome gladioli still arrive. Consign- nicuts of jiansies are regular. Tlic sui)ply of decorative greens is ani]ile and of good quality. Club Meeting. Tiie regular meeting of the ('incin iiati Florists' Society was held at the clnb rooms in the Jabe^ Elliott Flower Market October 10. Ed. Schumann. C. .1. Jones, Charles McCrea and Harry Moorman were elected to membership. J. A. Peterson gave a talk on cement benches, during which he gave an in- teresting account of their development. Mr. Peterson now has a bench that he George E. Browne, believes is perfect. lie uses a mixture of one part of either Old Dominion or Atlas cement and six parts of coke screenings, and reinforces this with wire netting and galvanized steel wire rose stakes placed about twehc inches apart. The whole is scarcely more than an inch thick, and is perfectly i>orous. The bench thus made is cheaper and more durable than wood. Max Riidoliih read a cle\(>r ]>apcr on the essentials of steam and hot water heating ani-wise. of early I'xjieri ences with steam heating. Thomas Peterson, an old friend of J. A. Peterson, was a guest of the lat- ter at the meeting. The fornu'r, who recently spent some years in Denmark, intends locating in tliis city. Various Notes. The bowling clnb will hold its first meeting at I'inke iV ( raig's alleys, liio East Sixth street, next Monday, Octo- ber 17, at S p. III. A short business ses- sion will be held before the games.

H. H. NEW ORLEANS. The Market. The month of October made its entry in a somewhat unpleasant manner, as we had almost continuous cold rain for about ten days, with a frequent drop in the temperature of 20 degrees at night. The growers of store plants are beginning to bring the most tender foliage and flowering plants inside, al- though the weather is now considerably warmer and fairer. The majority of the early mums, botli ou£ and indoors, are showing good color. To procure clean, silky flowers the growers provide them with sash or white canvas coverings. Although we are still three weeks from All Saints' day, November 1, some of the large growers of chrysanthemums are rather disappointed concerning the gen- eral advancement of the early flowers, but hope to have suflicient on hand to fill the immense demand for that par- ticular day, inasmuch as afterwards the prices, even for the better grade of flowers, are considerably less. All we need now is moderate and sunny weather to well repay the mum growers for their months of toil and worry. The increased demand for poinsettias, especially those grown in ])ans for Christmas, caused many local florists to j)ay particular attention to this beau- tiful winter bloomer and the general output this year will be greater and better than ever before. The return of the summer travelers already shows a decided change in our jirevious dull conditions by a noticeable demand for various pot plants to re- decorate their homes for the .'oming season; likewise the sale of the bettor class of cut flowers has increased. Various Notes. The city park, maintained almost entirely by residents of the lower sec- tion of New Orleans, is at present at the height of its glory and the superin- tendent, H. Bernard, and the head gar- dener, F. Brocker, surely deserve all the i)rai8e and congratulation bestowed upon them for their great endeavors to make this park, in the course of time, one of the most beautiful and pic- turesque in the country. Walking in the shade of the old, majestic live oaks, liung with trailers of light gray moss, the huge foliage groups, the plants of which are perfect in growth and color, surely make a bewildering effect, lieightened by flowering beds of cannas, roses, etc. The plants used for the most noteworthy groups were those of assorted crotons, aralias, marantas, ca- ladiums, dracwnas, dieffenbachias. san- chezias, ficus, pandanus, etc. Hugo specimens of Nephrolepis Bostoniensis, N. Piersoni and N. davallioides fur- cans, measuring from five to eight feet across, and several smaller beds of low growing bedding plants are interspersed to their best advantage. The mums, in groups and pots, looked well and the planting of different varieties of con- ifers years ago, which has been con- stantly kept up, proved a success and added greatly to the natural beauty of the park. An enormous stock for the coming winter and spring planting is growing on, promising many a surprise for the thousands of visitors to this delightful city of the south. K. E. ALTON, ILL. The Market. The retail prices here are: Chrys- anthemums, good stock, $3 to $5; carnations, GO cents to 75 cents per dozen; valley, $1 per dozen; roses, $1.50 to $3; American Beauties, $2 to $6. It has been a busy ihonth so far here, and the florists are well pleased with the amount of trade. Various Notes. Newman Bros., of Upper Alton, are showing a huge fern in their store, the fronds measuring sixty to seventy inches. The Alton Floral Co. has had a busy week with funeral work. Joseph Krug is still doing business at the same stand. J. F. Ammann 's store has been re- painted inside and a new ice-box has been installed. Under the new manage- ment of H. (i. Evans, lately of the Idle Hour Nurseries, Macon, Ga., business is flourishing. During the merchants' opening week here he had a fine booth and displayed floral art in all its branches. On the last night of the show he made up six wedding reception and debutante bouquets, and at the end of the affair he gave them away to the ladies in town. This certainly brought him trade, as he has had several wed- ding orders on the strength of it. The firm lias also made some fine window displays in the downtown stores, which have brought hosts of compliments. WASHINGTON, D. C. At a reception given the Florists' Club by its president, F. H.

We believe this is pretty near a record for one order for all good stem Beauties." Boswell, N. M. — F. O. Santheson, man- ager of the Eoswell Floral Co., recently opened to the public the firm 's new greenhouses and grounds, east of this city. The new place includes eight acres of land, well adapted for outdoor stock, with two greenhouses, each 50x100 feet and heated by steam.

EESULTS. We give them. You get them. We both have them. Be a good collector, but in the first place don't grant credit where it isn't due. The price of glass has gone up through the chipping of another five points oft' the discount. The gladiolus and the dahlia certainly have made long strides in popular favor these last few years. You get out of a business just what you put in it; if you don't put anything in you can't expect to get much out. Large numbers of florists who grow for their own retail trade are this season planting patches of peonies of the better cut flower varieties. It is a peculiar fact that a lot of men in this trade who would not think of cutting prices will grant wholesale rates just because they are asked, if there is no better reason. When you send photographs to an editor, write the title on the back. The Review frequently receives pictures with no clue by which the sender can be iden- tified, not even a postmark. The fertilizer manufacturers say bone meal never again will be sold at the old prices, for the same reason that meats are permanently higher. The demand has increased much faster than the supply.

Schultheis, of Scran- ton, Pa., Qied suddenly, September 21, after a few days' illness. Miss Schul- theis had conducted a florists' estab- lishment in Scranton for the last seven years. She had been extremely well for the last few months, after an ex- tended trip over the Great Lakes. She also attended the S. A. F. convention at Rochester, and from there took a trip to the Thousand Islands, Montreal and Quebec. The funeral was held Septem- ber 24 and was largely attended. Dor- othy C. Schultheis states that the busi- ness will be carried on by the remain- ing family. CHICAaO. The Great Central Market. The general report now is that busi- ness is running well ahead of the same date last year, but that prices on the whole are hardly up to those realized for stock at the same time last season. The production has been so increased that even at lower prices most whole- salers are taking in more money than before. The chrysanthemum now dominates the market. Supplies are large, larger than ever before at this date, and there is a great deal of difference in the quality of the flowers. Yellow is most abundant, with only moderate supplies ^ of white and not many pink yet to be had. Some of the stock is excellent and some of it is extremely poor. The best grade sells quickly and the poorest grade much slower than the growers of it would like. It is possible to fill any order at prices which should be satis- factory to buyers, except that some buyers never will learn their advantage in making their requirements known early in the day. There usually is a fairly close clean-up of stock late in the afternoon. The Beauty market reminds one of the children's titter-totter. For a few days the supply is on the up grade and then it turns and goes down again, with prices going in the opposite direc- tion, just as the youngsters do on the seesaw. Where last week Beauties were abundant and prices weak, this week they are less plentiful and prices OCTOBBB 13,1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 19 Headquarters for Quality and Quantity. There is no exaggeration in the ■ statement that we have the best stock of Mums to be found any- where in the west — every good commercial variety that's in season; all colors, all sizes, all prices. For years our house has been recognized as Headquarters, and we are confident we are doing something this season to add to our reputation for ability to give every buyer just the stock he can use to best advan- tage. Let us hear from you about your Mum needs, it's to our mutual advantage. KILLARNEY PINK AND WHITE We also are strong on White Killarney — a big crop is on. This is fine stock, in every way as good as our famous Killarney (pink), and the color is clear. These are the finest white roses of the season to date. In addition to Killarney and White Killarney, we can suppl^fine Kaiserin, Maryland and Richmond* BEAUTIES While we are able to supply all lengths of Beauties of equally good quality, we are specially strong this week on long-stemmed stock. These Beauties are without question the finest that have been seen in this market this season. Fine large heads, splendid color and substance, strong stem and heavy foliage; quality that attracts the buyers who hunt out the best stock to be had. CARNATIONS The quality of our carnations was never better at this date and every day brings an addition to the supply. You can order here with the certainty that you are calling on the largest lot of high grade carnations in this market. Lilies Violets We can supply Easter Lilies in quantity every day in the year. Plenty of them NOW. I^t your orders come. The violet season has opened. As usual, we have the cream of the Hudson river doubles and the finest of home-grown singles.

The principal shortage is in the medium and shorter lengths; there are enough long-stemmed Beauties. With more seasonable weather the rose crop has returned to its normal size, and the condition of the market is more healthy. There is no shortage of .•iny variety, and the quality is excel- lent. An increasing proportion is of the select and special grades. The carnation market had a period of weakness during the first week of October, but is in a little better condi- tion this week. The supply increased more rapidly than the demand, and prices went down, but as soon as buyers found out the state of affairs they be- gan to take hold more freely. In gen- eral, ibhe stock is of excellent quality for this date. Stems are of fair length and otherwise the flowers are excellent. The wholesalers have been disap- pointed at the way violets have acted. The supply has increased materially, and with the increase buyers have be- come critical of quality and arbitrary in their demands for price concessions. Some of the returns for last week will give little joy in Rhinebeck. Increasing quantities of dahlias are received, and they sell fairly well at <'heap prices. Easter lilies are more plentiful. One of the notable changes of the week has been the increase in the supply of orchids. These are now abundant and of excellent quality. Prices are much below those which have ruled for the last few months, and as a result a good business is being done. Valley is plentiful. Much fine Cosmos Lady Lenox is offered, and sells well at a moderate price. The green goods market presents no special features. Club Meeting. Not in many months has there been as large an attendance as at the meet- ing of the Florists' Club October 6. Flower show arrangements were up for discQSsion. It was voted to contribute $100 to the premium fund and to hold the club's annual banquet at 6:30 p. m., Thursday, November 10, which is during flower show week. President Asmus was directed to appoint a committee of five to complete the banquet arrange- ments. He also was instructed to ap- point a committee of seven retailers to manage the club's booth for the sale of flowers at the show, and a committee to have charge of the club's other priv- ileges. President Asmus, H. N, Bruns and Anton Then were appointed a commit- tee to call on J. F. Klimmer, one of the club's oldest members, who is ill. Three applications for membership were received, and the following twelve new members were elected: W. P. Kyle, 5435 Lake avenue, Joseph Foer- ster, 2242 North Halsted street, who comprise the firm of Kyle & Foerster; A. C. Rott, William Kellsner, Emil Mid- dendorf, A, Christiansen, H. Nicholson and II.

Friedman opened his branch store in the Congress hotel Mondaj-, October 9. The new store will be con- ducted under the name of the Congress Floral Co., and is in charge of William A. Graff, who has been with Mr. Fried- man at the main store for the last four years. Originally Mr. Friedman ex- pected to open the store about October 1, but considerable delay was experi- enced in getting the refrigeration sys- tem properly installed. Pipes are run from the main cooling system used in the hotel, so no ice will be necessary.

A large crop of cattleyas is now on, but August Poehlmann says it has not thus far been possible to keep up with the call from the store for these flowers, and that the stock will be materially in- creased; it is the intention to send a collector into Central America after cattleya plants, importing for their own use. Manager George Asmus has opened a temporary office for the flower show in the cut flower department of the E. F. Winterson Co. He says the prospects for exhibits never were better, and has plans on foot through which he hopes to realize the most attractive arrange- ment a Chicago show has yet had. The executive committee of the Horticul- tural Society is holding frequent meet ings, working on the show. E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co.. sizes up the situation accurately when he says that it is no longer a question of supply but of salesmanship in this market. A. T. Pyfer now does a 12-hour day. but says he likes city life. He has the new city store of the Chicago Carnation ^o. nicely fitted up. All the office work has been transferred from Joliet to Chicago, including the young lady book keeper, who has been with the concern several years. The Northwestern Mutual Life In- surance Co. has made a loan of $200,000, five years, at four and three-fourths per cent, to Luther "W.

The building still is in course of remodeling. Two or three years ago Chrysanthe- mum Touset sported at the J. A.

Chicago Evanston, when seen at Kyle & Foer- ster's one day this week, said their ])lace is in better shape than they ever before have had it, and that they look forward to an exceptionally successful season. Carnations, mums and bulbous stock are the crops grown. Gus Alles, at the store of Wietor Bros., says he thinks that where grow- ers are failing to realize as much money for mums as last year it is because of deterioration in quality; the Wietor records show they are averaging as good prices as ever, he says.

Business has improved considerably and things are moving along nicely. This is horse show week and local flo- rists are looking for a good week. Or- chids and valley will have the call for corsage bouquets. Beauty roses will also have a prominent place on this oc- casion. Stock at present is about equal to the demand.

Some good ones are to be had in red, as well as a few Roosevelt. Carna- tions are in good shape and some fine stock is to be seen, considering the earliness of the season. Roses are about equal to the demand and are im- proving in quality. Fall weddings and openings have given decorators something to do. Wild smilax, goldenrod and other outdoor flowers and foliage have been used quite frequently. Various Notes. The Kentucky Society of Florists held its regular monthly meeting at Fred L.

The new store will be completed about October 15 and will be known as The Rosery. It will be quite an improvement over their present place, having two nice show windows. New features will be put in.

It caused a glut of roses, which slumped violently and have hardly yet recovered their former prices. We are now getting cooler conditions, and values have some- what hardened, but the increasing out- put of carnations and chrysanthemums will unsettle the rose market. Killar- ney and White Killarney are the varie- ties which have been most in evidence. Mrs. Aaron Ward is more seen and is jiopular. Bride and Maid are not want- ed. Kaiserin is still good and IBeauties improving. Carnations are more abundant.

Double violets are coming from several growers, and singles are quite abundant, but not yet of good quality. The bulk of the plants are still outdoors, growers preferring a little frost before housing them. Chrys- anthemums are now coming in quantity, but as yet there is no glut. Few large^ fancy blooms are seen nowadays, the demand for them being light. The flowers which are most in demand wholesale at $4 to $10 per hundred. A few fancies make $2.50 to $3 per dozen, but these are top prices. Golden Glow, Halliday, Polly Eose, Pacific Supreme, Glory of Pacific, Montmort and Mon- rovia are the varieties mostly seen. A few Ivory also appeared this week. There are still quite a few asters, but they are of poor quality, and the prices obtained for them will hardly pay for picking and express charges. Dahlias are getting fewer. They are featured just now by quite a few of the stores, and if cut with longer stems should in future seasons be more in demand. A few indoor grown sweet peas are seen, and a few outdoor stragglers also. Cornflowers, pansies, tuberoses, cosmos and some other outdoor flowers are seen. Pansies average 50 cents per hundred; cosmos, 25 cents to 50 cents per hun- dred. Lily of the valley is coming of better quality, and has been in fairly good demand. Lilies are not overabundant, and the bulk make 10 cents to 12*^ cents each. Smilax is not much seen nowadays, but one or two growers are bringing it in. Asparagus and adian- tum are both good, the fronds of the latter being hard and well ripened. The demand for hardy ferns is improving. Trade in pot plants is steadily grow- ing, the demand being as yet chiefly for foliage plants, but chrysanthemums are now quite plentiful and of good quality. Lorraines, Christmas peppers and sola- nums are all seen in quantity. The call for small ferns for dishes is good. Various Notes. William C. Ward, of Quincy, is bring- ing in some good yellow pompon chrys- anthemums, also a fine lot of pansies, in which latter flower he is a leading greenhouse specialist. F. J. Dolansky is cutting extra good Eosiere and Polly Eose chrysanthe- mums. He has a fine lot of pot plants in variety. New England's great outdoor car nival, the Brockton fair, held October 4 to 7, attracted this year more people than ever before. Paid admissions on October 5 were 52,650 and October 6, 90,995, gate receipts for these two days being over $60,000. The total attend- ance was close to 200,000. Is there anv other fair in America that can beat these figures for a four days' show? The frost the week previous materially reduced the show of outdoor flowers, dahlias suffering the most. The leading exhibitors of these were G. H. Walker, F. L. Tinkham, A. E. .Johnson, A. W. Tripp, W. D. Hathaway and W. F. Tur- ner & Co. Some large growers, like J. K. Alexander, did not have a flower to show, all being frozen. The Montrose Greenhouses secured first prize for fifty roses. The rose men did not show up as they should. Baskets and bouquets of native flowers were this year a new feature. Among the judges were Dun- can Finlayson, on vegetables, Wilfrid Wheeler, on fruits, and W. N. Craig and W. D. Hathaway, on flowers. Among those in the trade noticed at the Brockton fair were: George Cart- wright, W. A. Hastings, W. .1.

The}' are handling at present, among other flowers, some extra fine Beauty roses, valley, cattlcyas, chrys- anthemums and gardenias. Local nurseries are getting heav}- fall orders. All are eagerly looking forward to rain, which must come before plant- ing can be done. The ground is now so dust-dry that planting is simply out of the question. The new rose, Mrs. Cutbush, of the Baby Rambler type, is highly thought of by J. A. Pettigrew. superintendent of the Boston park system. It has bloomed all summer in the nursery. The color is a beautiful pink. The park system, in spite of prevalent dry condi- tions, is beautiful at present, the au- tumn tints being splendid and some of the berried subjects attractive. Henry S. Dawson has added a 100- foot propagating house this season at the Easton Nurseries, Holliston. Mr. Dawson 's father, thd redoubtable Jack- son Dawson, celebrated his sixty-ninth birthday anniversary a few days ago. Peter Fisher, who is one of the strongest advocates of indoor culture of carnations, is cutting the finest flow- ers seen in Boston at present, with stems equal to midwinter quality. He finds a great improvement in plants grown in sterilized soil and will use more of it another season. A new variegated seedling he has is extremely free and a big advance over Mrs. Pat- ten. He also has a fine cerise. Beacon, White Perfection, Winona, Pink De- light and May Day are all fine. Mr. Fisher has more than doubled his plant- ing of the last named, so well does he like it. At a meeting of the trustees of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, October 10, an invitation was extended to fhe Vegetable Growers' Association to hold the next convention in Horti- cultural hall.

J., after a strenuous trip abroad which his asso- ciates in the Henry a. Dreer corpora- tion describe as a time of unceasing activity, interrupted only by the en- forced quietude on shipboard. Mr. Htrohlein was looking well and talked entertainingly of his visit to England and to the continent. His chief P]ng- lish memento was the capture of Mrs. F. Sander, a new pure white mar- guerite of the Queen Alexandra type that is considered better than any mar- guerite yet produced. The merits of Mrs. Sander are size and freedom of bloom, finish of flower, which is pure glistening white, and length of stem. Dreer 's will send it out next spring. Mr. Strohlein brought with him an im- mense stock of azaleas that grade high; the Belgium growers report a scarcity in the smaller sizes, due to an unfavor- able season. The stock of kentias was in fine condition, as evidenced by a superb lot just imported, well grown plants without a blemish, fit to stand anywhere now. Mr. Strohlein spent some time among the rose growers of France, a new field for him, visiting Messrs. Pernet-Ducher, Guillot and others of note. He found them heart and soul in their work, with many new seedlings of rare promise. Mr. Strohlein was impressed by the ave- nue of evergreens, fully a mile long, at the Bagatelle. An Irrelevant Story. Eobcrt Frank, a retired merchant of this city, was desciibing his western trip. "One of the most interesting things I saw," he said, "was the busi- ness enterprise now being carried on by two men of my faith. They have secured control of a portion of the Cali- fornia gold fields that were first dis- covered and worked in 1849 and 1850. Here they have set up improved crush- ing machinery and are crushing the quartz that was rejected by the early gold diggers as unprofitable. They can handle about 100 tons of rock daily. The average yield of gold per ton is $2; the average cost of crushing is 65 cents per ton; the stone not worth crushing is sold to the railroad for ballast at $1 per ton. This leaves a nice profit, almost certain to be main- tained for a long time." "Why," you ask, "does this story appear in a florists' paper?" Because it may bring home to each one of us its own truth, that brains are needed in business. Phil. J. G. Neidinger received 150 cases of immortelles on the boat from Marseilles that arrived at New York October 4. 11. F. Michell Co. has the contract for supplying the bulbs for the county commissioners at Wilkesbarre, amount- ing to $211.50. Ernst J. F. Zieger has taken over the Mergenthaler Greenhouses, on East Washington lane, Germantown. PROVIDENCE. The Market. The market remains steady, with prices normal. Crops are showing marked improvement, and growers speak more encouragingly concerning their carnations. Mums are coming on rapidly. In fact, the supply is rather outstripping the present demand, but a couple of weeks will equalize this, and the queen of autumn will reign supreme. A number of small weddings served to swell the week's business. Various Notes. Earl S. Bavier, formerly in charge of the flower department of Dimond & Sons, has gone to Meriden, Conn.

Cooler weather, refreshing rains, and now Indian summer, with its chilly nights and glorious days, combine to put new life into the cut flower and plant business, though the tide turns slowly. The Jewish holidays last week and the rapid return of the society ele- ment were factors in the change for the better, while the October weddings are having a wide influence. Prices have advanced only slightly, but quotations are firm, with the tendency upward, and everything choice of every kind of flower is snapped up on arrival. The best Beauties touched 30 cents each October 8, and the selected Kil- larneys. Brides, Maids and Marylands brought 5 cents, but quantities of short- stemmed roses are still arriving for which, in thousands, the buyer arbi- trarily fixes values. Some fine Rich- monds are now coming to the market. Kaiserin also retains its price and popu- larity. Few carnations have sold over 2 cents, but this week promises a higher average, the quality and length of stem improving rapidly. The shipments of dahlias have been large and much of the stock mediocre and neglected. The finer kinds sell well, and retailers use many in basket work. Another week will practically end these, and the asters, as entitled to further notice. There are plenty of orchids and every retail window of account utilizes the sprays in artistic arrangements. Prices remain at last week's quotation. There are plenty of fine gardenias, and these sell rapidly at $3 to $4 a dozen. The short-stemmed stock is already on the street. For violets 50 cents seems to be the extreme top; 30 cents to 20 cents even is all the bulk of the shipments bring. These go to the pavement mer- chants. For lilies 8 cents is the top, and most of them go at $6 per hundred. Valley must be fine to bring 3 cents; $2 per hundred is the average. There are still many tritomas. Chrys- anthemums already dominate the mar- ket. From now until December the mum is king. The variety grows daily, and the quality improves. Some superb stock sells at 50 cents each, and is all spoken for before it arrives. Polly Rose and Glory of Pacific came October 8. Before many days it will be high tide, and then the flood, as usual.

Vegetable Forcing. CUCUMBEBS AND TOMATOES. Can cucumbers and tomatoes be grown as a spring crop following lettuce on benches, or must they have more soil than the six inches used for lettuce? What varieties of tomatoes and cukes are best for this? J. T. Yes, you can follow your winter let- tuce with either cukes or tomatoes, but six inches of soil is hardly enough. I have grown a fine crop of cukes in beds four to four and one-half feet wide and eight inches of soil after it had been in lettuce all winter. The beds were only six inches deep, but I put a 1x2 strip on edge and nailed it on the side boards, so as to make the sides eight inches instead of six. Then I put a heavy coat of manure on the lettuce soil and worked it all over. This still left room for an inch of soil later; so in the latter part of April I put on another 1-inch top-dressing of rich soil, nearly half manure. Tomatoes I treat the same way, but do not use quite so much manure, and I am careful to have half rotted manure for the tomatoes. For cukes I generally use fresh manure and lots of it. While it is possible to grow tomatoes and cucumbers in the same house, it is never advisable, because they like dif- ferent temperatures and atmospheric conditions. For instance, tomatoes like a fairly good supply of water on the soil, but not on the foliage, which is better off if never wet. They also like a rather dry atmosphere and a tempera- ture several degrees below that of cu- cumbers. Cucumbers like plenty of water and a damp atmosphere, and they need occasional syringing under the fo- liage to keep down such insect enemies as red spider and thrips. It also ben- efits the cucumber plants to have fre- quent spraying of the foliage in bright, warm weather. Cucumbers seem to do best in a temperature of 68 degrees at night, 75 degrees on cloudy days and 85 to 90 degrees on the brightest, warm days, when there is plenty of ventila- tion on the houses. Tomatoes should have a night temperature between 60 and 65 degrees, on cloudy days 65 to 70 degrees and on bright days 75 to 80 degrees. So the conditions are decidedly differ- ent for the two crops. If you have separate houses you can treat each as suits them best, but if your houses are connected or all in one it would not be entirely satisfactory, as one crop or the other, possibly both, would be living under unfavorable conditions and would probably be so weakened as to be likely to fall a prey to any diseases to which they might be exposed. A high tem- perature with the ventilators closed is poor treatment; several degrees more heat can be added if there is good ven- tilation than would be advisable with the vents closed or nearly so. It is hard to say what are the best varieties of any kind of vegetable, be- cause the different markets ffivor differ- ent varieties. For instance, pink to- matoes are more in demand than red in some markets; in others the pink ones are not wanted, the bright red being preferred. For winter forcing the pink ones are seldom grown, al- though Livingston's Beauty, an old Stick Your Labels Shipping Tags, Etc.* on your packages with. . . • Cold Water Paste.

It is prolific, but hardly as good for size or shape as some of our other varieties. Livingston's Stone forces well and is large and productive, with fruit that is smooth and of good shape. If a little earlier it would dis- place Comet quickly. Langdon's Improved Earliana tomato is good and may soon take first place. It is decidedly better than the old Ear- liana, which is the most productive and the earliest of all large tomatoes, but entirely too much of the fruit comes rough and misshapen. This improved strain of Earliana is perfectly smooth. It originated with P. & H. Langdon, of Constable, N. Y., and was dissemi- nated last winter. Of cucumbers there are no end of dif- ferent forcing strains of the White Spine type. Almost any that are adver- tised for forcing are all right, but do not use common garden stock. The Boston Forcing strain is most commonly used, but others are just as good. The long English type is to be avoided, on account of not selling well, although it is extra long, easy to grow and prolific. The Davis Perfect, a half-breed or cross, is giving excellent satisfaction with some growers, but others do not like it. This is due not so much to the differ- ence in localities as to the difference in growers. The best way for each grower is to grow mostly one variety, which has proved satisfactory generally, and experiment with only a few plants of those varieties of uncertain value. H. G. CELERY FOR CHRISTMAS. I want to grow some late celery and wish to know whether it can be grown in a greenhouse that is covered with oiled paper. Which is better for grow- ing celery, benches or solid beds? I am located in southern Tennessee and should like to have the crop ready about Christmas. I have good sized plants. C. M. W. I have never had any experience with houses where oiled paper is used instead of glass, although I used to have a good many hotbed sashes, or frames the size of sashes, covered with muslin and then oiled. I have much doubt about your being able to got a satisfactory crop of celery for Christmas if grown entirely under oiled paper.

The market last week showed great improvement as to quality of stock in roses and carnations, but the retail trade was not as brisk as it might have been, as the weather was somewhat un- favorable. However, there seems to be plenty of funeral work to make up, but aside from this they state there is lit- tle doing.

These seem to have a big call daily. Smilax sells well; in fact, all greens are enjoying a good demand. The new crop of bronze galax is expected soon, and orders have been placed ahead for these.

For some reason or other there has not been much doing among the retail- ers for the last fortnight — just about enough to keep them busy, and that is all. Though the wholesalers until lately have declared themselves well pleased with the way business has kept up, they also changed their tone and said that the last few days of last week were rather quiet. Asters are now a thing of the past, to the satisfaction of all, for it was no pleasure for grower or dealer to handle them as they were this season, owing to the inferior quality. Gladioli — what there are — show the effects of the cool, moist nights; they also have seen their best days. Carnations, which are of a fair quality, are coming in quite plenti- fully. There are plenty of roses and enough green goods to fill all orders and then some. Some really good dahlias come in, and are readily disposed of. The Milwaukee Flower Show. Quite a bit of doubt has been enter- tained by many as to whether Milwau- kee is to have a flower show this year. While there has been little said or heard about it up to now, the executive committee appointed by President Zwei- fel, of the Milwaukee Florists' Club, this spring has been working quietly, and it can now be safely said that Mil- waukee will have one of the best shows, if not the largest show, in the country. It will again be held in the main Audi- torium hall, from November 9 at noon to November 13, inclusive. If present plans, as submitted by Aug. F. Kellner, the decorator in charge, are accepted, it will be neces- sary to take over the stage in order to house all exhibits, which promise to be more numerous than last year. This precaution was taken on account of the way the premium list has been changed, namely, by cutting down the quantity of stock required to compete for the same awards as last year in classes for cut mums and roses, and by increasing the premiums on specimen mum plants, thus making the inducements greater for outside growers. Prizes to the amount of $3,000 will be awarded. Quite a few of the St. Paul and Minneapolis florists and others in that vicinity are looking forward to our show, and, with the Chicago flower show in progress the same week, we expect a good many more visitors than in the past. The standing entertainment commit- tee of the club, with Gust Rusch as chairman, was instructed at last week's club meeting to work out the social end for the coming show. Preliminary lists are being mailed this week, and anyone interested who fails to get it can secure one by addressing H. V. Hunkel, 462 Milwaukee street, Milwau- kee, Wis. Various Notes. The McKenney Co. thinks that the cut carnation, judging from present sales, has lost none of its popularity. James M. Fox & Son report several advance decoration orders. The C. C. Pollworth Co. reports the arrival of a carload of azaleas and also some giganteum lilies. The Holton & Hunkel Co. is still ex- panding, this time at the Humboldt avenue place, where it was necessary to enlarge the potting and packing shed, to gain working room as well as storage space. Charles Zepnlck, at 1180 Chicago avenue, finished housing his double vio- lets the first part of this week. He has had success with late planting and pre- fers to follow the old method, instead of taking to the culture as practiced in the violet centers. Taking advantage of the fine weath- er, Nic Zweifel, Fred Holton and two friends left for a two days' automobile trip last week, in Mr. Zweifel 's car. They called at Oconomowoc, Dousman, Sullivan, Palmyra, Whitewater, Dar- lington and Janesville. Besides having a fine time, they report having run across some really good stock, which was a surprise to them. Bowling. In order to promote good fellowship, the entertainment committee of the Milwaukee Florists' Club, in last week's meeting, made known that they would organize a bowling club and that the first game would be played October 7, at Eagles' hall. There were a good many present, and the following officers were elected: President, Gust Rusch; secretary, Roy Currie; treasurer, Wm. Zimmermann. The club, which is still nameless, will bowl every Tuesday night at Steinke's place, at Eleventh and Prairie streets, from now on. A hearty welcome is ex- tended to any and all florists to join this club. If you have no intentions of bowling, come around anyhow and help make merry. E. O. Corvallis, Ore. — The new range of the Oregon Agricultural College, costing $7,000, gives the horticulture depart- ment an area of 6,700 square feet under glass.

The Market. Business conditions are slightly im- proved over last week; yet there is a scarcity of flowers, owing to the recent rains. Asters are on their last legs and soon will he entirely out of tiie market. Mums of the standard varieties are filling in nicely and bring tip-top prices. Eoses are scarce, but of fine quality, and indications are of a full crop soon. Carnations are coming along nicely, improving in both qualit}' and forni. On account of the increasing demajid for carnations, more space is devoted to them this season than ever before. Lily of the valley is scarce and the demand exceeds the supply. California grown violets have made their appearance on the streets, l)ut are devoid of fragrance and the better class stores refuse to handle them; local grown stock is still scarce. Ferns and green goods are in great demand — a source of considerable worry to the florists, as the supply of Spren- geri and plumosus is short. Various Notes. The funerals of several well known residents last week practically used every flower available in the city. P. Johnson has opened a small shop at Fifth and Washington streets and reports business satisfactory. Thomas Hawks, recently a landscape architect at Chicago, has opened offices here and reports a good business. Sam Roake, Clackamas, Ore., met with a severe accident last week while loading a car of moss. A box fell, striking him across the face, inflicting painful in.iuries. E. R. C. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Business continues to show an upward tendency and, .judging from general ap- pearances, we are to have a prosperous fall trade. With the possible exception of outside chrysanthemums, there is no excess of flowers of any kind and good roses and fancy carnations are really scarce. Of short-stemmed stock there is an abundance at low prices, and much of it has to be used where better qual- ity stock is called for. There is good sale for inside mums and the quality throughout is fully up to that of former years. Japanese lilies are now out of season and there is nothing in that line excej)t some Lilium longiflorum, which are in fair demand. Dahlias are commencing to show the lateness of the season and gladioli are past their prime. Other kinds of outside stock, such as cosmos, gaillardias. coreopsis and stocks, have given way to the outside mums. Violets are not as plentiful as we should like to see them and will not be so until we have some cool weather. They cost the stores 75 cents per dozen bunches. Green stuff" is a little more plentiful. Adiantum shows the lateness of the season. Various Wotes.

"Cucumber, with a few exceptions of the shj seeding varieties, indicate good yields and full deliveries. "Muskmelon generally is short, with the exception of the Rocky Ford, Netted Gem, Burrell's Gem, Perry's Defender, Osage Gem, Netted Rock, and a few of the larger varieties, the other varieties ranging from very small deliveries to total failures. "Watermelon indicates fair crops and yields ranging from fifty to 100 per cent, with a few exceptions which will be total failures.

Thn ground color is a soft, pleasing primrose, or htraw color, overlaid with dainty Hakes and splashes of blusli I rini-on. The crimson is not at all pronounced and simply gives some warmth and golden tinting to the yellowish groundwork. It bunches splendidly and will easily lead in this type of coloring for a long time. We were unable to plant a large acreage owing to the fact that we had only a little seed to sow for I'.tio crop. »nd, like all good Spencers, it flowered freely but refused to seed.— Description oi the originators,— Mkssiis.

"Gourds, with the exception of the Nest Egg, are very short, or nearly total failures. "The above will apply more particu- larly to our crops, but I understand other growers are receiving poor re- ports from a number of their crops. I find the crops we have grown under irrigation this season will give us the best results, and fortunately we had a fair acreage of nearly all varieties of cucumber and the varieties of musk- melon we expect to fill in full under irrigation, otherwise would have been unable to make good deliveries on these varieties."

EVERYTHING SHORT. Jerome B. Eice, Cambridge, N. Y., says that, as far as his observations go, seed crops of all kinds are in short sup- ply. "Pea seed is the shortest crop on record," he says, "not only in this country, but in Europe as well. Beans will make a fair average crop; sweet corn the same; vine seeds of all kinds are on the short side, and almost all other kinds of garden seeds are also short. ' ' MICHIOAN VINE SEED CROPS. "We have been unusually favored by freedom from frost so far this season," say S. M. Isbell & Co., of Jackson, Mich. "This is allowing a good many of the vine crops to mature a great deal more fruit than we could have hoped for if frost had come as early as usual. Under these conditions we are expecting to have fairly good crops of everything excepting tomato. This crop has been under hard luck all the season. In the spring, at time for set- ting out plants, we had cold, unfavor- able weather, and, in addition to this handicap, such condition was favorable for damage by cutworms. This sort of weather was followed by extreme drought during the summer, and taking all things together, we think we have never seen a more unfavorable season for tomatoes." ASTER A GOOD CROP. It is a novelty to meet a grower who hasn 't a kick coming, but Charles H. Vick, president of James Vick's Sons, Rochester, is pleased with the prospect for the aster seed crop. "It is very promising at present," he says, "and we will undoubtedly have a full crop of very choice seed. The past season has been very favorable. There is in the neighborhood of 100 acres of asters planted in western New York, in the vicinity of Eochester, annually for seed. ' ' TOO WET FOR BEANS. Referring to his comment on the then not unfavorable outlook for beans, pub- lished in last week's issue of The Ee- view, Arthur B. Clark, of Everett B. Clark Seed Co., Milford, Conn., wrote October 7: "I presume I ought to supplement the crop report recently sent you, as it now appears that recent frequent rains have rendered it impossible to properly cure the beans. This wet period came on right in the middle of the bean har- vest and is causing quite a loss and will result in injuring the quality of the Palms for Growing On Exceptional Opportunity 20,000 Kentia Belmoreana strong, vigorous, cool grown plants, per- fectly free from bug or scale, 6 to 9 in. high, $20.00 per 1000; $175.00 per 10,000, free on board Glasgow for bank draft or postal order only and offered so far as unsold.

' ' WITH HOLLAND BULB GBOWEBS. With the Holland bulb growers, busi- ness has increased quite largely in the last year or two and a considerably greater number of acres are being planted for 1911 crops. The bulk of the tulips are planted in October, so the bulb farms still have enough for all hands to do. During the packing and shipping season work began at 6 a. m. and continued till 9 p. m., but the two evening hours, for which extra had to be paid, have now been dropped from the day. To American readers a day of thirteen hours from start to finish may seem plenty at any time, for that is about as much as any force of seeds- men's assistants is called on to do even in the rush of March. Many hyacinths were planted in September and these bulbs are, by the time these notes ap- pear, all in the ground. Hyacinths have sold unexpectedly well this season and the trade vaTieties, as well as some of the finer named sorts, were well cleaned up by the middle of Septeml.er. IMPORT DIHECT , ,.

Tomato seed crops at Columbus, O., are three weeks late, but Robert Liv- ingston, of the Livingston Seed Co., says the fine weather throughout Sep- tember and thus far in October is giv- ing them a lot of fine seed. "We have secured quite a good percentage of the late planted crops, but there are yet a good many green tomatoes on the vines, and at this season of the year they are slow to ripen. No frost has injured even the tops of the vines up to this time (October 10). Muskmelons and cucumbers, especially on our Kirkers- ville muck farms, have done well; sweet corn and beans fairly well."

Neither does a successful lily bulb grower. If you have a good reputation as a grower you may stand one crop failure, but you can't stand two in succession and about half the failures are due to poor bulbs — the other half in the handling. You will find in every case of Horseshoe Brand Bulbs a certificate giving a record of the contents; the district the bulbs come from and the packer, indicating the fields. Those who get them should keep them vintil after their bulbs bloom. These bulbs are from the best fields in Japan; they are well cured, properly packed, and raised from our own seed bulbs. They may cost more than other brands but not more than they are worth. If you don't believe what we say try a case of our Su})erior Assortment, size 7/9 -inch bulbs of Giganteum and keep a record of the blooms. You buy bulbs to produce blooms — therefore, the only way you can tell their merit is to grow them. All varieties and sizes on hand ready for immediate delivery. RALPH H.

The Market. Business is good and stock is remark- ably scarce; so scarce, in fact, that Oc- tober 10 the local wholesale houses could not take care of all their orders. The crop of roses is rapidly shorten- ing. Mums are coming in, but only in limited quantities. Carnation plants are hardly moving in the houses, and the flowers are so scarce that few are seen in the stores, thereby causing peo- ple to seem to want them specially. Various Notes. Albert Stahelin, of Eedford, will soon move into the handsome residence erect- ed for him and his bride-to-be. Albert Iveson, gardener at Grosse Pointe Farms, found a pure white flower in a large bed of salvias. The plant bearing these white blooms is in a perfectly healthy condition, and Mr. Iveson prizes his find. Kenneth Anderson, of the company bearing his name, is seriously ill. November 1 Mrs. Patterson, who has been managing the store at 275 Wood- ward avenue for her son, Murray G. Patterson', will be relieved from duty. Heretofore Murray Patterson has not been actively engaged in business, but he will now devote his entire time to the store. Many vases of Beauties were in evi- dence at the opening of D. J. Healy's new store. One immense vase contained over 100 Beauties; these were supplied by Taepke. The balance were mostly from Sullivan. Charles V. Charvat, father of Louis Charvat, died October 9, aged 69 years. Mr. Charvat conducted a small store and greenhouse at 240 Eowena street for many years. Thos. Browne, of Greenfield, has com- pleted another fine addition to his range of glass, in the form of a house 40x200. It will he devoted to carnations, which are now being planted. Mr. Browne's mums are promising. Besides making a good club president, George Browne can also grow good car- nations. His stock this year is excellent. Business cares will be cast aside Mon- day evening, October 17, and the club night devoted to a card party and smoker. H. S. The Review can supply any horticul- tural books at publishers ' prices.

Business has been quite good for the last few days, but in the first part of last -week it was dull, owing to heavy- rains during the first three days. The rainfall for sixty hours, ending Wed- nesday noon, was 10.88 inches, almost as much as we ever had in any one month since the weather bureau was estab- lished. Since then the nights have been eool,_ with fine days, and trade is im- proving. Boses and carnations have more substance and the stems are longer. Mums are coming in slowly and are fairly good. Various Notes. The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. has secured a 2-year lease on the store building at 522 Main street and will move into the new quarters January 1. The store now occupied by the firm will be torn down and a new building erected. This firm is cutting large quan- tities of roses and carnations. The Beauties and the White Perfection car- nations are extra good. Geo. Blackman says business is excellent. Julius Niednagel & Sons are cutting quite heavily of roses, carnations and mums. The mums were grown outdoors in pots and beds and are good, though the heavy rains were rather hard on them. This firm has secured the serv- ices of a lady bookkeeper. Their grow- ing business has made more help neces- sary. Ben Kramer reports business as fair. Nellie Goodge says trade is not extra good at present. J. C. Elspermann has about finished another house. Henry Seymour is cutting a large number of excellent camauons. E. L.F. Lynn, Mass. — The largest exhibit staged at the recent exhibition of the Houghton Horticultural Society by any professional grower was that of Wilbur D. Moon, who showed 200 varieties of dahlias. Edward P. Dwyer & Son made a large exhibit of hardy perennials. The big night of the show was the one on which Winfrid Wheeler, of Concord, de- livered an illustrated lecture. De Pere, Wis.— A.

The flower show held last week in the K. of P. temple, in conjunction with the fall festival, was a decided suc- cess, in spite of the bad weather. There were some fine exhibits and the award- ing of prizes was quite satisfactory, though the contests were close, espe- cially in the table decorations. The judges were Walter W. Coles, of Kokorao, Ind., and Irwin Bertermann, of Indianapolis. The prize winners were as follows: George R. Gause — First for cross, first for magnolia wreath, first for wreath, second for table decorations, second for twenty-five light pink car- nations. The cross received special comment. Charles Knopf Floral Co. — First for fifty white carnations and first for fifty dark pink carnations, second for fifty scarlet carnations, second for fifty light pink carnations, second for twenty-five white carnations, second for twenty-five scarlet carnations, second for twenty- five dark pink carnations, first for twenty-five white roses, first for twenty- five pink roses. Fred Lemon — First for fifty scarlet carnations, first for fifty light pink, first for twenty-five white, first for twenty-five light scarlet, first for twenty-five light pink, first for twenty- five dark pink, first for twenty-five red roses, first for twenty-five pink, second for twenty-five white carnations, second for fifty white, first for table decora- tions, second for cross, second for wreath and second for magnolia wreath. The amateur exhibition was good, but not up to expectations, as all the en- tries did not show, owing to the bad weather. BliBBfield, Mich.— B. E. Niles is add- ing another greenhouse, 10x40.

"Find enclosed $5 for the Florists' Manual, by William Scott. It is the best book of the age on commercial floriculture and should be in the home of every gardener." — Conrad Forbach, Buffalo, N. Y.

The cut flower trade has shown con- siderable improvement of late. With the exception of dahlias and tritomas, outside flowers are about done for. Carnations are coming in quite freely, but not enough to supply the demand. Eoses are plentiful. Beauties are com- ing in daily, and the call for them is steady. Violets have put in an appear- ance and are quite good for a starter. A few mums are to be had, and the quality is good for early varieties. Various Notes. The J. M. Gasser Co. has just com- pleted its new range at Kocky River. It consists of nine houses 27x200, and two houses 27x150, taking the place of fifteen old houses, of which only the glass could be used. The material used was of Moninger construction on 9-foot walls, with iron posts set in concrete. The Evans Challenge ventilator is used throughout. Carnations, mums, orchids, etc., are grown in the new houses. Frank A. Friedley, the foreman, under whose supervision the building was done, deserves credit for the superb construction of the entire plant. Mrs. Lincoln Brown, of Lake avenue, had the decorations for the Steinbren- ner wedding, October 7, at the home of the bride's father, on Bellflower ave- nue. The entire house was a bower of plants, flowers and wild smilax. About 400 friends of the fahiily attended the ceremony. G. P. Braund & Co., of Mars Hill, are sending in a good cut of October Frost mums. A party of local florists made a trip to the establishment of the Lamborn Floral Co., at Alliance, last week. All report a most enjoyable day's outing. W. F. Kasting, of Buffalo, was re- cently visiting friends about town. B.

It would be a difficult matter to estimate how many aster blooms have been used by Kochester florists, and the number shipped to other points would be still a greater problem to solve. The season began July 4, with a few blooms of Ex- press. In the height of the season prob- ably 50,000 blooms a day were handled on this wholesale market. Inquiries among various dealers lead one to be- lieve that a million blooms or more have passed through the Flower City's markets during the last three months. Chrysanthemums are beginning to come, reminding one that the cool days of autumn are here. Whites predomi- nate at present, but a little later the yellows will have the place of honor, particularly among the students of the University of Eochester, orange being the color of that institution. Various Notes. Preparations are well under way for the second annual flower show, to be held by the Eochester- Florists' Asso- ciation, November 1 to 5. The general committee has appointed all necessary sub-committees and these are now busy perfecting the detailed plans. The list includes the prominent men in the trade, as well as influential citizens who are especially interested in floriculture. The man who carried the burden last year is again in charge, and Eochester flo- rists are to be congratulated that so competent a man as Charles H. Vick is willing to give his time to making these exhibitions a success. E. C. Armbrust, for some time past connected with J. B. Keller's Sons, was recently married to Miss Florence A. Moore, of New Britain, Conn. Mr. and Mrs. Armbrust will make their home at 21 Savannah street. E. F. E. Greenhouse Glass Best Quality, lowest prices.

Pay for themselves in a single season Sunlight Double Glass Sash will more than pay ; for themselves In the better, earlier crops that will bring the big prices on the early market— and in time and labor saved in caring for the beds* You never have to cover Sunlight Sash You can throw away expensive, cumbersome boards and mats. You can save all the time you now take to cover and uncover the beds — because Sunlight Double Glass Sash have One user says: '*Mine will pay for them- selves the first year " ' ' The Imndred sash I bought from you have given the greatest possible satiefaction. ' ' We got to 4 degrees above zero and I found my flowers untouched. Moreover, I am daily making 25;f more than others who have greenhouses. I have just cut 1000 flowers, although the weather is very wintry. My opinion is that your sash will advertise themselves and you will never be able to make them fasti enough. Mine will pay for themselves the first year, and I would not have a single sash for a gift." O. W. D' Alcorn, Congress Heights, Dist. of Columbia. Two layers of glass instead of one Between the two layers of'glass is a 5^ inch layer of dry, still air. This transparent blanket is a perfect non-conductor, keeping in the heat — keeping out the cold — permitting the plants to get all tbe light all the time. Every grower will appreciate the value of this at once. Plants that mature under glass will be ready under Sunlight Sash for the market weeks ahead of those grown undfer single glass sash — and plants that are forwarded will be bigger and sturdier when the time for transplanting arrives, because the plants get the light from sun-up to sun-tiown — which means faster and stockier growth. Think of the dollars and cents value of having a perfect crop on the market early — when prices are still high. " The glass in Sunlight Double Glass Sash is held in place without putty. Cannot work loose — easily replaced. SUNUGHT DOUBLE GLASS SASH CO. Agents 'wanted: A splendid opportunity for responsible per- sons in territory where we are not now represented. Write for details.

Oil, yes, lie has some pleasures, but ,so few and far between, that, the dark tlouds hanging over him, the sunshine <;an 't be seen. Lots of stock a-getting rotten, flowers filling every space; not an order, not a funeral — what ails the human race? Hang the growers! How we loatlie them when they bring the fldwers in! Oh, drat it! — and we dump them in the scavenger's old bin. All at once the flowers vanish! Or- ^lers come to boat the band, and we rush to meet the grower, grasp him tightly by the hand. "Bring us flowers! We're up against it — must have flowers, or up we go!" Rut tlie smiling grower an- swers, "You must wait a week or so." Then he gives us the dimensions of new houses he has built, while we are sadly thinking of the surplus flowers we spilt. While our faces look expectant, our hearts are filled with woe, for we know that he is lying, as he did one year ago. Somehow we worry through it, using up their damaged stock. Although the chilly winter finds our overcoats "in hock," in the end we will forgive them and take them to our breast, for a man that deals in flowers never knows an hour of rest. Frank Shibelev. A JAPANESE LUNCHEON. This is chrysanthemum season and the chrysanthemum is the flower of Japan, xo that the retailer who wishes to be ready with suggestions for his customers will be interested in studying the ac- companying illustration and preparing similar schemes which he can suggest to his customers when they are in need of such a service. Edward Bell, of the Bell Floral Co.. Franklin, Pa., thus describes this table decoration: "For this Japanese lunch eon the colors were yellow and red. A framework of bamboo (fishpoles) trimmed with smilax was hung with Japanese lanterns, and these and the candles on the table, which had yellow shades, furnished the only light. Japan- ese shades on the candles would have been much better, but it was impossible to obtain them on the short notice given. A large green art jardiniere on the cen- ter of the table held yellow chrysan- themums, while small jars of the same ware placed around the centerpiece held yellow nasturtiums. The effect was ex- tremely good under the soft light of the cindles. ' ' AN AVIATION LUNCHEON.

The side door is used in the handling of express and all sorts of deliveries. There is a cash register, of course, and it is of the latest model, operated b\- electricity.

Hollywood Gardens, Seattle, Wash. The business conducted under the name of the Hollywood Gardens, at Seattle, Wash., was founded only a short time ago. but already it occupies a prominent place among the florists' establishments of that city, and is evi- dently prosperous and progressive, like the city itself. The proprietors are Mr. and Mrs. F. 8. Stimson. During the summer they added four greenhouses to their range in the suburbs, and in the first i)art of September they opened a handsome new store in tlie Ilaight ])uilding, at the corner of Second ave- nue and Pine street, in the midst of the shopping, district. Parts of the interior of this store are shown in the two photographs here reproduced. The man- ager. William R. Gibson, thinks it is one of the finest stores on the Pacific coast — or did he say the finest on the coast, without exception? And the pictures themselves bear evidence, more con- vincing than any description, that Mr. Gibson's taste in such matters is good. DEAD LEAVES ON QABDENIAS. I planted a bench of Gardenia Veitchii in July. The plants seem to be making good growth. The depth of the soil is three and one-half inches. I am having trouble with a disease which causes the plants to drop their leaves. I am enclosing a few leaves for your inspection. Can you tell me where the trouble lies? M. L. The leaves you speak of sending have not been received. I imagine, however, that the disease, so called, is not really any disease at all, but consists of yel- low foliage due to improper soil or drainage conditions, or an oversupply of water, most probably the latter. Gardenias do not need much soil and your depth is right. The soil should be quite porous, so that water will pass quickly through it. If it is fine and in- clined to be pasty, you will never be able to grow healthy gardenias in it. .\ common error is to overwater after planting. Always allow the soil to dry out well between waterings and scratch over the surface soil frequently. A night temperature of G.l degrees is about right. Syringe so that the foli- age will become dry before nightfall. Sweet soil, careful watering and a brisk, moist heat are conditions making for successful gardenia culture. There are many other little details which experi- ence alone can teach you. C. W. REFRIGERATION FOR FLORISTS. [An extract from a paper by 1.. C. Corbett, of the Bureau of Plant Industry, I'. S. Depart- ment of AsrIcMilture. prepared at the request of the Coniinittee on Refriseratlon for the Inter- national Congress now being held at Vienna.] Low temperatures have long been an important factor in various depart- ments of floriculture. In fact, a num her of the most important commercial industries connecteil with floriculture are based upon the use of cold storage its a factor in their development. Cold as an Aid to Plant Forcers. The forcing of many plants, both woody and herbaceous, is made more certiiin and more remunerative through the use of cold storage. The forcing of polyantha roses, of hydrangeas, lilacs, spiraeas and the like for the Christmas trade are all more certain if the plants have been placed in cold storage for a short period. True it is that the gas treatment now promises to provide an- other means of accomplishing like re- sults, but the field is yet a new one and full of uncertainty. The forcing of several of the herbaceous plants, such as the lily of the A'alley, Liliiim longi- florum and Lilium Harrisii. is exple- dited by cold storage, although it is not an absolute necessity to success. The modern handling of lily of the vallej' is almost entirely based on the successful treatment of the pips in cold storage. In fact, many plants and seeds which require low temperatures in order that they may make satisfactory growths can be handled in cold storage to ad- vantage. Cold and Cut Flowers. The success of the modern cut flower trade is due largely to the fact that the standard flowers of the trade, such New Store of Hollywood Gardens, Seattle, Wash. OcTOBKu 'JO, mio. The Weekly Florists^ Review. New Store of John G. Heinl & Son, Terre Haute, Ind. as roses and carnations, lend them- selves to storage. While we have no accurate information, based on careful tests, except that provided by J. Ver- <*ier, professor of horticulture in the Cote-d'Or, on "The Utilization of Ar- tificial Cold in Floriculture," which is published in L 'Industrie Frigorifique, florists all well know that the value of both carnations and roses is greatly en- hanced by subjecting them as soon as out to a chill which is just sufficient to cheek the normal vegetative func- tions, without destroying them. The check shx)uld be severe enough to cause the flowers to rest for a period, but the rest should not be a permanent one, from which they cannot be roused. Ex- l)erience has demonstrated that the con- dition obtaining in the ice-box or re- frigerator where the atmosphere is highly charged with moisture is better suited to the purpose of the florist than the same temperature maintained arti- ficially when the air is dry. Usually the chilling is not long continued, but it is generally believed that a few hours' exposure to a low temperature greatly lengthens the period of beauty and usefulness of roses and carnations. While those practices are of great eco- nomic value, even at the present time, there ia no reason to doubt that through careful investigation their value might be greatly enhanced. The wholesale cut flower trade of the great cities of the United States is now greatly facilitated by the use of modern cold storage appliances. While low temperatures are not desirable, a con- stant temperature of 40 degrees for carnations and roses is absolutely es- sential. Fluctuations in temperature and humidity produce great injury, while a constant temperature at a mod- erate degree is the only means of hold- ing delicate flowers over a long period. Such delicate blossoms as orchids can- not be held in storage at all. They are very sensitive to low temperature and cannot be successfully stored. What Is Needed. What we at present need are care- fully conducted cold storage tests with each of the important commercial cut flowers, coupled with painstaking phy- siological researches to determine the exact temperature and its duration, in order that the stability of the flowers may be preserved to the greatest extent and that their duration in an ordinary living room after their withdrawal from cold storage shall be greatest. Without these painstaking researches we can never arrive at satisfactory commercial practices. The empirical rules which are followed today serve a very useful and valuable purpose. The value of the cut flower trade in any European country or in America is sufficient to justify most painstaking and careful research along this line. It is to be regretted that more positive information cannot be given upon these important phases of the cold storage business at this time, but my studies have thoroughly convinced me of the necessity for careful and extended re- search into these most important com- mercial fields for cold storage. LANTANAS AND HELIOTBOPES. Kindly tell me when is the best time to propagate lantanas and heliotropes? If I have no bad luck with my cut- tings, I will have quite an assortment to dispose of. C. A. M. Cuttings of these should go iu at once, as frost is liable to cut them off at any time. Further cuttings can be taken from these during the winter, to produce plants for spring sales. What you put in now will be in the nature of stock plants. The heliotropes require more heat to root them than the lan- tanas, but both are of easy propagation. PEOPAGATING BOUVARDIAS. I have a nice lot of bouvardias, from which I would like to grow some youug stock. Can you instruct me how? O. L. H. All the bouvardias are easily propa- gated by root cuttings. Shake the soil away clean from a few plants and cut the thicker portions of the roots into half-inch lengths. Cover them with sand in a warm propagating bench and keep moist, potting off singly when they have started to grow and make young roots. This propagation is best done in midwinter, when firing is constant and a steady, brisk bottom heat at command. B. Humboldtii is easily propagated from the young, soft growths, which root easily and can be grown into quite large plants in a season. All the other bouvardias are best from root cuttings. C.

Do not keep tlie poinsettias in a warm house yet; 50 degrees at night is better for them than (30 degrees. The time they want an advance iu tempera- ture Is when tlie bracts are forming. Jf kej.t close and warm now, the shoots will 1)0 long, lanky and soft. In a cooler house they will be nice and stocky. Avoid Avide fluctuations in night temperatures, and as you value good foliage use the; hose; or watering- pot with care. Many pooh-pooh the watering can as being slow and obso- lete. Those who decry its use as being "old-fashioued cannot, as a rule, pro- duce plants comparable in quality with such as are watered by hand at the critical stages of their growth. Of course, hand watering is laborious and ofttimes impossible, but the average country florist can well afford to use it in preference to the hose on poinsettias in pots and jians at this season, and he will be well repaid for his extra labor. No plants are more easily and speedily ruined by an excess of moisture at the roots than poinsettias. Feeding in strong doses is just as bad. Each will cause a loss of foliage, and poinsettia bracts on naked stems are wanted by nobod}'. Do not feed at all until the bracts are forming. Then give it twice a week in moderately weak doses. Some soot with the manure helps to keep the leaves a dark green color. Lilium Multiflorum. The bulbs of L. longiflorum multi florum have recently arrived and been potted. These will come in useful at Easter. The late date will prevent For- mosas, which are naturally earlier, cut- ting much of a figure, and multiflorums and gigantenms will be the lilies par excellence. While it is quite possible to pot up these lilies considerably later and still have them for Easter, the earlier they are potted the bet- ter they will be. Do not stand the lily pots under the benches. This is a convenient but often a reprehen- sible practice. Newly potted plants never want to stand where tliey will get drip. It soddens and sours tlie soil. Worms speedily find their way in and fatten under such conditions, and drainage becomes clogged and plants unhappy in appearance. A frame shed, cellar or any frost proof ]>lace will be all right for these lilies for some weeks yet. Do not let the sun shine on them. A soaking after potting should carry them until the bulbs are well rooted. Lilies do better kept on the dry side until the pots are full of roots and top growth nicely started. If kept wet, the roots will rot and the plants speedily sliow traces of the ever present "dis- ease," which is often caused by wrong culture. Cannas. Look over the cannas and see that thev are correctly labele.j before lift- ing. Let them have a moderate freez- ing first, and dig them on a dry, sunny day. Do not shake the soil from the roots. They keep much better with a good quantity left on. They should be stored where they will not get any drip, and shelves in a dry shed with a minimum temperature of 45 to 48 de grees will answer well. They are often stood under greenhouse benches. Sucli places are all right, except for the drip. This starts too early growth, and will often rot the roots. Marguerites. "^ Now that the weather is cooler, the marguerites are growing fast. There is still ample time to insert a batch of cuttings. These will make excellent stock for blooming during May and June, and those late propagated plants can be planted outdoors after blooming, headed back a little, lifted and potted in the fall, kept shaded a few days until established, and will flower much earlier than the younger stock. Some have been in fine bloom for Christmas, and all of them will flower during the winter season. Keep young jilants potted on before the roots have a chance to become matted, and unless you want an early crop of flowers, keep the shoots pinched until Christmas. Marguerite plants sell well at Piaster, but the cut fiowers arc iu better de- mand during the spring and early sum- mer months than earlier in the season. Spray the foliage Avith nicotine extract if you see the least signs of the leaf miner, which will soon disfigure the foliage. In growing marguerites, it is well to remember that the variety Queen Alexandra is not an early Avinter bloomer, not being in good sha])e until the last of Aj)ril or May. Antirrhinums. Many of the earlier chrysanthemums are now cut and other crops can l)e planted in their stead. Among these are antirrhinums, Avhich make a profit- able spring crop. If it is decided not to renew the soil, give it a good coat- ing, at least, of a\ cU decayed manure,, and spade it over to thoroughly incor- porate it before ])lanting. The first spikes pushed are usually of little ac- count. Pinch these back, and if you want really strong sj)ikes three to four feet long or more, allow "I'-ly four or five to each plant. Never alloAV these to become bent, or they are of little value. Keep them tied up from the start, and rub off any side shoots or useless growths which may appear. If you want a late crop of these snap- dragons, sow some seed now. Select the tall varieties, which haA'e the best spikes. Do not sow mixtures. Put in pure white, yelloA^^ pink and scarlet^ whi'h ai'e the popular shades. PRINCETON. Kosarians all over the country knoAV that the home of the great New Jersey uniA'crsity is also the home of the com- ing rose, Princeton. Gladly accepting an invitation of John Berger to A'isit the greenhouses of Stockton & Howe, in the beautiful old uniA'ersity toAvn, an afternoon of pleasure and profit Avas devoted to calling on the new rose in its home. Princeton is the name given a seed- ling raised from a cross between the hybrid perpetual rose, Ulricli Brunner, and the tea rose, Safrano. The seed- ling has been grown by Stockton & Howe for three years. At first it de- lighted them by its beautiful color and by its freedom of bloom, but there were cultural diflSculties. These have been successfullv overcome. Todav I'rince- ton stands out prominently as one ot' our most productive roses, awaiting only the judgment of the flower-loving public to make its future brilliant. Taking, then, the cut flower qualities of Princeton first, the dazzlingly beau- tiful color is the rose's most striking feature, a color that resembles the pink in Killarney at its best, only it is sev- eral shades deeper and has no white or lighter shading. The effect of the open flowers, stand- ing strongly on their stiff stems clothed with broad, light green foliage, is strik- ing. The color of Princeton is halfway between Killarney and Beauty; it is the- color of well grown Salvator Rosa in the tulip. The position that Princeton will occupy in the minds of our floral artists is the position occupied by the Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson carnation, that of a color by itself, something be- tween red and a pink — a deep pink. Here the simile ends, for the color of the Princeton rose is not the color of Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson. It has a color, a vivacity, too, that is quite- October 20, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review. 11 charniiug. The flower is rather flat, of Brunner type, of good size and said to be of excellent keeping qualities. While a prediction on fickle fashion 's fancies is a risk, Princeton has so many trraces that a social success in Decem- ber seems assured. The growing qualities of Princeton are full of interest. The young plants do not thrive under the usual culture given Toses in pots. "When planted out, Princeton grows like a weed; grows, too, with a vigor that is amazing after a crop has been produced; grows with a freedom from blind wood that warms the grower's heart. Old plants, cut back to produce stock for this season 's planting, were the pic- ture of health despite the tremendous slaughter they had endured. Young plants planted out of the cutting bed were growing freely, while the bulk of the stock produced under usual condi- tions was excellent. Princeton, like Kil- Jarney, requires disbudding to produce stems, and, to judge from a single visit, requires plenty of water during the growing season. Stockton & Howe have some 3,G00 plants of Princeton, set out in tables in one house 20x316. They plan commenc- ing to send cut flowers to their whole- sale commission merchants in December. Whether they will reserve this rose for their own growing or will distribute it next season, will be decided later. Phil. INSECTS ON KILLARNEYS. Enclosed you will find a young Kil- larney bloom. It looks as if it were eaten, but I can find nothing upon the plants, which are healthy and beautiful. They are second-year stock, on a solid bed. Please tell me what the trouble is, and the remedy. C. E. Y. This bud has been bitten by some insect, probably a grasshopper, though there are some small caterpillars that cause the same kind of destru-ction. Spray the bushes witli the following mixture, using a fine spraying nozzle: Soft brown sugar, one pound; Paris green, one teaspoonful. Mix these to gether and use a tablcspoonful to every two gallons of water. Spray twice a week. " Ribes. ROSE APHIS. Our roses are troubled with the little green lice or bugs. We have used a kerosene emulsion and also tobacco smoke, but without effect. What would you advise using? They are on tin' tender young leaves and seem to hf sucking them. S. & L. The green bug or rose aphis can be easily destroyed by using any of the tobacco preparations, either in the form of a spray or as a fumigant. Burning tobacco stems or tobacco will also \w effective. Ribes. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. Exhibition Plowers. In about two or three weeks more the exhibitions will be claiming our atten- tion and the interest in chrysanthemums will be at fever heat. The weather has been wretchedly bad for the proper de- velopment of the flowers, in all sections along the eastern seaboard. A day tem- perature running up to the top of the bulb and a night temperature of 70 de- grees will never give the grower a chance to show his best results. Many reports contain bitter complaints that all the best flowers have damped off and that many of the flowers remaining do not show the length or breadth of petals usual to the variety when condi- tions are favorable. Shading is essential on the roof of the house where exhibition flowers are be- ing grown. It will assist materially in keeping down the temperature and will protect the flowers from the blistering sun. The grower this year who was a little late in getting his buds will probably be in a position to laugh at the man who got his buds before the middle of August, and is now reari)ing a whirlwind of blasted hopes. One peculiar result of the intensely hot spell is that the flowers are from ten days to two weeks late in develop- ing. This I have noticed in my own stock, as well as in other stock I have seen. This is, however, not a new expe- rience, but has been noted in these en — they can be set away in a cool cellar from which the most of the light has been excluded and kept in perfect condition from two to three weeks. I have often had flow- ers kept in this way that traveled to a show and remained in perfect condition during a four or five days' exhibition, while stock not so treated wilted down the second day.

Your night temperature should be kept as near 40 ilegrees as possible in winter, but if you have sweet peas in the same house and are intending to flower them early, the temperature must be raised 6 or 8 de- grees when the peas start to show buds. -This will make it pretty warm for violets, which, however, are usually run out under glass from the middle to the end of March. Pick off all diseased leaves. Give the house abundant ventilation night and day. Scratch over the surface soil and keep rubbiflh cleaned up on the paths or under the benches, if you use benches. Never mind if the tempera- ture gets down near freezing; it will not atfect the violets. The sweet pea foliage was all brown when received. The haulm apparently is weak. Your rows should not be closer than four feet apart, and are bet- ter even wider, provided the head room is ample. Perhaps your seed was sown thickly and the seedlings not thinned. The individual plants should be four to six inches apart to become stocky. As you are growing the two crops, it will be best to run the house cool, to suit the violets, until the middle or end of Feb- ruary; then gradually raise the temper- ature for t'he sweet peas, pulling out the violets as they run out. C, W. JOHN BERTEEMANN. There are few retail florists who are more widely or more favorably known in the trade than John Bertermann, of the firm of Bertermann Bros. Co., Indian- apolis, Ind. He possesses two qualities which naturally lead to such extensive acquaintance — he is up-to-date in his business methods and is also public-spir- ited, taking an active interest in the gen- eral welfare of the craft and attending an unusually large proportion of florists' gatherings, both local and national. His store in Indianapolis is one of the hand- somest and best equipped in the country and of course handles a high class of trade. At the last convention of the A. C. S., in Pittsburg, he assisted in the organization of the Retail Florists' De- livery Association and was elected a member of the board of directors of the new society, John Bertermann was born April 25, 1850, at Wilhelmshohe, Hessen-Cassel, Germany. He started to learn the flo- rists' business May 19, 1864, in the gar- dens of the emperor (of Germany. Dur- ing the FranaO'German war, 1870-1871, he was detailed to special decoration duty in the Hessen-Cassel, during the time that Napoleon, emperor of France, was prisoner there. His brother, William Bertermann, sailed for America in 1872 and John fol- lowed him in 1876, with the intention of starting a flower business in the new world. They were unable at the time to carry out their intentions, and John took a position at Newport, Ky., where he worked six months with a private con- cern. For some time after that he was employed by B. P. Critehell, at Car- thage, O. December 3, 1878, the two brothers moved to Indianapolis and found employ- ment with C. Lange, whose business was located in East Washington street. They worked for Mr. Lange until February, 1879, at which time they purchased his business. The next year they built a greenhouse at ^the corner of Liberty and New York streets, and in 1882 moved the store from East Washington street to the present location at 241 Massachusetts avenue. In 1891 death called William Berter. mann away, which left the business in charge of John Bertermann, under the present firm name of Bertermann Bros. Co. In 1905 John Bertermann purchased a farm containing 103 acres, located at Cumberland, east of the city, and in the following year he erected on this farm a range of greenhouses which are used exclusively for growing carnations. Akron, O. — M. Gemind, employee of M. ,T. Gilbo & Sons, reports that this firm is erecting two houses, each 18x110. which, with last year's additions, will give 30,000 square feet under glass. These houses are truss construction, with iron gutters. October 20, 1010. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 13 John Bertermatm. TOLEDO, OHIO. The Market. Since violets and chrysanthemums have made their debut, there has been a marked improvement in business throughout the city. Although society has not as yet seen fit to open its doors for the season, nevertheless florists have been quite busy with autumn weddings and flowers for various occa- sions, as well as the usual tributes to those who have "traveled to that un= discovered country from whose bourne no traveler doth return." As an editor in a recent periodical says: "Flowers greet us as we enter this world, aid us on our way, and bid us God-speed when we leave," Ideal Indian summer weather pre- vails, for whicl^ all are grateful after last month's cold and rainy spell. Car- nations, although quite small and short- stemmed as yet, are coming in better every day, as are also the roses. Dah- lias have been so large and varicolored as almost to vie with chrysanthemums. Cosmos, gaillardias and tritomas are still quite plentiful, and are seen in al4 the florists' windows. Various Notes. Harry Heinl has some specially fine carnations this season. He had large, long-stemmed flowers when the others were small, due to the fact that the plants in two of his houses have always been under glass, never having been started in the field. Mrs. E. Sufler has been doubly rushed in the last few weeks, both with an ex- ceptional run of funeral work and the work on her new house. She has made some particularly fine funeral pieces lately, among them a large broken pipe of American Beauties, as a tribute to the president of one of the local sewer pipe lines. Mrs. J. B. Freeman, who has succeed- ed George Heinl, has been doing a large business. B. B. S. CLEVELAND, O. The Market. Last week found more flowers of all kinds in the market. Mums are coming in freely; some good October Frost, Halliday and Pacific Supreme are to be had. Carnations are improving daily, the quality of flowers from early planting from pots being nearly up to winter form. Violets are being received daily, val- ley is fine and sells well, and some good giganteum lilies are in the market. There has been no severe frost in this locality, and quantities of dahlias and cosmos can be had. Various Notes. C. M. Wagner decorated his automo- bile for the Centennial parade, and the car made a most magnificent appear- ance. The Smith & Fetters Co. had some most beautiful fall windows during Centennial week, which attracted a great deal of attention. Frank Schoen, lately with the Taylor Flower Shop, has returned to the J. M. Gasser Co. Michael Bloy, formerly a grower for the J. M. Gasser Co. and other places about Cleveland, and now the owner of a retail iplace in Detroit, was in town last week visiting old friends. He re- ports the business done as quite satis- factory. The Jones-Eussell Co. has been show- ing some fine fall novelties in wreaths, etc., in its window, B. The Cleveland Florists' Exchange was recently incorporated here, with a capital stock of $15,000, From Another Correspondeut. There was a remarkable slump in nearly all lines of the flower business last week, owing to the Centennial cele- bration, but this week is much better and there is a big demand for cut flow- ers, house plants and some wedding decorations. Dahlias still are plentiful and of splendid quality. With the ex- ception of some fine cosmos, they are the only outdoor stock on the market. The chrysanthemum season is on and there are plenty of them to supply the present demand. Fred Griffin is receiving some fine Killarney and White Killarney, also good carnations. The J. M, Gasser Co. decorated seven of the automobiles in the Centennial auto parade, three of them winning first prizes in different classes, F. J, Schoen is again with the J. M. Gasser Co., after an absence of several months. The Jones-Bussell Co. had the entire exterior of its store decorated in south- ern smilax during Centennial week, which created quite a sensation, since all the parades passed that way, C, M. Wagner had a decorated auto in the parade which deserved honorable mention, Bramley & Son had their automobile delivery wagon decorated in dahlias and American Beauties, taking first prize in Class 5 of the parade. Smiling Ben Feldner, of the Koseville Pottery Co., paid Cleveland a visit this week. M. Bloy, of Detroit, has been calling on old acquaintances during the last few days. The Ohio Floral Co. will soon move to its new quarters in the Sargent building, on West Twenty-fifth street, C, D, F, DENVER. The Market. The warm weather during October has had its effect on the demand for flowers. There is nothing going on in the way of social functions and if it were not for the funeral work that has been used it would be quiet indeed. Stock of all kinds is plentiful enough, no great amount being required. Roses are abundant and the quality never was better at this time of the year. Beauties also are fine. Some excellent loBg- stemmed stock is finding good sale at current prices. In the other roses Kil- larney has the call, both in pink and white. Carnations are now of good stem and color and the blooms are of nice size, selling pretty well. Chrysan- themums are beginning to come more plentifully and the quality of most of them is good. There is not much call for violets as yet. 12 The Weekly Florists^ Review* OiroiiKit I'O. 1910. ciiminciii;! I pmimsi'-- ;i> lUllows: (Olm'. IS; I'uiiM. )•_'; fulliif-v.

C. W. JOHN BERTERMANN. Tiiere are few retail florists who are more widely or more favorably known in the trade than John Bertermann. of the (inn of Hertermann Bros. Co., Indiun- a|iolis, Jnd. lie possesses two qualities which naturally lead to such extensive ac()uaiutance — he is up-to-date in his business methods and is also public-spir ited, taking an active interest in the gen- eral welfare of the craft and attending an unusually large ])roportion of florists ' gatherings, both local and national. His store in Indianapolis is one of the hand somest and best equipped in the country ;iiid oY course hamllea :i high class of trade.

They were unable at the time to carry out their intentions, and John took a position at Newport, Ky., where he worked six months with a private con- cern. For some time after that he was empioyed by H. P. Critchell. at Car- thage. O. December 3, 1>57S, the two brothers moved to Indianapolis and found employ- ment with C.

Various Notes. Harry Ileinl has some specially fine tarnations this season.

OCTOBEB 20, 1910. Various Notes. The Florists' Club meeting October 11 was at T, M. A. hall, where the club will hereafter meet the second Tuesday of every month, instead of Thursday. The nomination of officers was the prin- cipal business. The election takes place at the next regular meeting, Novem- ber 8. The Columbine Floral Co. is now located in its new store at Fifteenth and Stout streets. Mr. Poss, having bought the fixtures at the old stand, will continue it at that number, 1553 Curtis street. The Florists' Bowling League was reorganized last week and will roll at the Brunswick alleys. E. S. K. swdck EW YORK. The Market. The prolonged drought and continued Indian summer are an obstacle to im- provement in the cut flower market. There has been no change of importance in the quotations of a week ago, in roses or carnations. If any, the ten- dency is toward recession, and after the elite demand is satisfied, what flow- ers are left go in large quantities at the buyer's offer. There have been con- stantly increasing shipments, but the supply of select stock has not kept step with the enlarged offerings and most of the rose stock especially drags heavily and will while the chrysanthemum dominates the market. Few carnations are worth 3 cents. Quality advances like the length of stem, slowly. In an- other week they will do better, as to quality, though it looks as though 3 cents might be the top until the mum flood ceases. Orchids, valley and lilies remain sta- tionary in values and quite abundant. Asters and dahlias have passed on. Violets sell slowly and 40 cents seems to buy the best of them. The street pays 20 cents for the leftovers. Eetail windows are most beautiful with varicolored mums and autumn foliage, while groupings of the many varieties of nephrolepis add novelty to the arrangement. There are a dozen varieties now to choose from. Already the price of the general shipments of mums is falling rapidly. The end of the week will see the inflow from a thousand sources. Everybody who grows anything around New York has the chrysanthemum on his list. The result can be better imagined than described. Cosmos is fine, but not in demand. Tube- roses are as unpopular as ever. Various Notes. The John Wier's Sons place, Brook- lyn, was sold at auction October 19 by W. J. Elliott & Sons. Next week, October 26 and 27, a fine exhibition will be seen at Bed Bank, N. J., given by the Monmouth County Horticultural Society, and October 28 and 29 the Nassau County Horticultural Society's show will take place at Glen Cove, L. I. The following weeks are filled' with exhibitions in this vicinity, of which due notice will be given. One of the most important will be the $3,000 prize exhibition of the Morris County Gardeners' and Florists' Society and that of the Chrvsanthemum Society of America. November 2 to 4 are the dates for this big show. Arthur Her- rington is manager, and visitors should buv their tickets for Convent Station, N. J., which is nearest to the club grounds and house secured for the occa- sion. Messrs. Duckham, Totty, Schultz and Reagan are all busy in its behalf. The Badgley, Reidel & Meyer Co. has added a new safe to its conveniences and redecorated the store and office. Shipments of valley and lilies from Sie- brecht, and nine varieties of roses were a part of their exhibit October 17. John F. Sharkey has a neat store on Sixth avenue and Forty-sixth street, and W. H. Londo is an able lieutenant, with years of experience with Van Praag and other Broadway florists. The move is into the hotbed of the retail section of Sixth avenue, with Burns, Lee, Louis aird others a block or two away. A. J. Rickards, Jr., arrived last week, via the stork route, and the successors of Bridgeman are now in line for an- other century of the name that has been associated with the seed business since its inception. October 10 was the date of the arrival of the new partner! The seedsmen begin to feel the strain of the long drought. There has been no frost nor any cool weather to date. The balance of the fall business will have to be crowded into a brief season and day and night work will be everywhere in evidence. Jos. Cannon, of Philadelphia, is man- aging the cut flower department in the store of Gimbel Bros.^ for J. Wolff, Jr., and Mr. Wolff is quite encouraged by his success to date. John King Duer has retired from the retail florists' business. His store has been closed for several weeks. Grunewald, the retail florist on Colum- bus avenue, is back from Germany. The auction sales of plants continue every Tuesday and Friday. The crowds are increasing and prices are better. Retailers have awakened to the oppor- tunity for bargains. One of the largest buyers this season has been J. B. Nugent, Jr. The fern supply now being distributed by our expert growers at the retail stores has never been excelled so^feTtTrly in the season. There are a half dozen popular varieties, and Boston itself has lost none of its prestige and sells as readily as when it occupied the center of the stage. The greenhouse constructors are find- ing no fault with the warm fall,/and all seem to have an abundance of contracts, with much building booked that '^will- keep the wheels revolving untiP'a^iiow^ flies. Hession, of Flatbush, has 100,000 car- nation plants of the best varieties under glass, the output being handled by M. C. Ford. The Kervan Co. expects to have its new four-story building finished and to be in it by November 1. It will be the most unique store of its kind in America. Bowling. Friday, October 14, the scores made by the bowlers make the outcome of a match with the Astorias, as now con- templated, rather one-sided. The spe- cial prize was won by P. J. Smith.

Wertheimer Bros, report numerous or- ders for their Sprinkleproof ribbons, which they have just introduced. Con- siderable comment has been created by the introduction of these waterproof ribbons, and it is predicted by several metropolitan florists that these goods will soon be in general use in first-class establishments, as there is no question as to t^e practical merits of a moisture- proof ribbon. The many friends of John V. Phillips, of Brooklyn, will be pleased to hear that his health is so much improved that he now is able to return to business after an absence of two months. CINCINNATI. The Market. Last week business was good, and the demand for most lines took up the sup- ply. This week, however, indications on Monday pointed to a glut. This is due to the fact that chrysanthemums are in full blast. A large amount of stock is still sold, but the prices have already shaded considerably. Almost every local grower has large cuts of Estelle mums. They form the bulk of those in the wholesale houses, but Mon- rovia, October Frost and some fine Touset and Virginia Poehlmann are also offered. The weather in this vicinity has been the mildest that we have had for sev- eral years at this season. As a result, local dahlias and cosmos are better, and are lasting longer than for many years. Both are offered in large quantities and help to increase the amount of stock on hand, and so far there are no signs of a frost that would shut them off. The market is long on roses of all kinds, especially American Beauties. They cleaned up fairly well until the last few days, when a large part of the request shifted to chrysanthemums. Carnations are steadily improving in quality, and are also plentiful. Longi- florum, lily of the valley and orchids have been finding a ready sale. Snap- dragons are now offered. The supply of decorative greens of all kinds is ample. Various Notes. C. E. Critchell is receiving some ex- cellent orchids from L. A. Fennell, of Cynthiana, Ky. Wm. Murphy reports that he is find- ing an active demand for longiflorum and chrysanthemums. Albert McCullough 's lawn at his home at Pleasant Ridge is attractive with a bed of celosia bloom. His patch of named new varieties in dahlias also attracts attention. P. .1. Olinger went to his greenhouses at New Castle, Ind., Thursday, October 13. In his salesroom in this city he has had constructed a large zinc pan for his October 20, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review* 15 lerns that is as deep as the ^f ems are long. Mr. dinger finds this arrange- ment quite satisfactory for keeping these greens without trouble. Joe Maunders, of Newport, Ky., has ihe decoration for the fall opening of The Fair, a large local department store. Among other things, his plans iiclude the use of 5,000 carnations on Monday, the same number of dahlias on Tuesday and a like amount of roses on Wednesday. L. F. Benson, of Indianapplis, is con- signing some fine smilax to C. E. '.'ritchell. L. H. Kyrk's friends are glad to hear rhat he has about recovered from his illness and will be among us in a few ilays. Mr. and Mrs. Bay Murphy, Alfred Murphy and Miss Cora Pherson visited greenhouses at Eichmond, Ind., last Sunday, and say that all the stock there looks fine. They were royally entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hill and Charles Knopf. Wm. Gerke, of Girard, O., brother-in- law of George Corbett, of College Hill, was in town last week to attend the funeral of his father. The carnations of the Bloomhurst Floral Co. are so good that last week they brought a record price for the market for this time of the year, $4 per hundred. Callers last week were E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind.; E. J. Fancourt, repre- senting S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co.; H. Schmidt, of Oxford, O., and H. S. Burns, of the Henle Wax Paper Mfg. <'o., of New York. Bowlilig. The first meeting of the Bowling Club was held at Finke & Craig's al- leys, 120 East Sixth street. Chas. H. Hoffmeister was appointed secretary- treasurer.

It was said that he had been despondent for some time, as he was a tuberculosis victim. E. G. Gillett, in a lecture before a local business club, recently stated that sprinkling oil on the streets had a dele- terious effect on trees and shrubbery along such thoroughfares. Chas. H. Hoffmeister has had much to do with the organization of the Harding First Voters' Club, and was recently elected commander of that body. ERIE, PA. The Market. Trade has been good and the local florists have nothing to complain of. There is no dull season here, as Erie has many summer visitors and there is more or less entertaining all the time. Chrysanthemums have made their ap- pearance, first the yellow, then the white, and soon we shall have pink and all the other shades. This will be the leading flower for the October weddings and many orders have been placed for the finest varieties. Good stock in roses and carnations is getting more plenti- ful and is selling well. Gaillardias, cosmos and dahlias are still in demand, while violets and valley are always heralded with joy. Various Notes. Victor Morgan, representing Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J., and Mr. Stern, representing William Scharrath, New York, were recent visitors here. Frank Gorny and Henry Hewitt have accepted positions with the Baur Floral Co. John Gleichsner, for many years a trusted employee of this firm, has re- tired from the florists' trade and is now conducting a flourishing grocery busi- ness near the greenhouses. Eric Thompson and Ed. Lichtinger have gone on a hunting trip. William McCarthy has returned from a business trip to Cleveland. The millinery openings which kept the florists busy for a while are over with. B. P. AMHERST, MASS. The short course in floriculture at the Massachusetts Agricultural College this year promises to be one of the most suc- cessful ever given. The registrations for the course are coming in rapidly and a good attendance is anticipated. The department is endeavoring to make its work valuable, not alone to the students taking the regulaV four years' course, but to the practical florists as well. The short course of twelve weeks during January, February and March is intended to reach just these people. Tuition is free and the only expenses are for board, textbooks and the travel- ing expenses incidental to observation visits to practical florists' establish- ments in the state. Among the ranges to be visited are H. W. Field's, North- ampton; Montgomery Bros., Hadley; the college conservatories at Smith Col- lege and Mt. Holyoke College; A. N.

YONEERS, N. Y. The Yonkers Horticultural Society met in Wiggins hall Friday evening, October 7. In the absence of the presi- dent and vice-president. Secretary H. Scott called the meeting to order and appointed H. Nichols as chairman. The committee on the June show made its final report and was discharged with thanks. Mr. Milliot, also, was tendered a hearty vote of thanks for the capable manner in which he had performed his duties as manager of the June show. One new member was elected and sev- eral applications were received. Mr. Sheppard exhibited two fine apples of the Bismarck variety, grown on dwarf trees planted in the spring of 1909. The question box was brought into use for the first time and a question was asked as to the best way to distin- guish the different varieties of tea roses. W. H. Waite undertook to have an answer ready for the next meeting. Mr. Waite was gladly welcomed back and seemed to have been much bene- fited by his vacation. In a discussion of the subject of San Jose scale, a question arose as to whether there was any law pertaining to the cleaning up of old orchards in vacant lots. It was decided to submit the question, by letter, to the authori- ties at Albany and Mr, Milliot said he would do so at once, Mr. Hendry read an interesting essay on "Mums as Grown in England." The discussion which followed the read- ing of this paper was participated in by Messrs. Mooney, Waite, Scott and others. A hearty vote of thanks was given Mr. Hendry. The committee on the fall show re- ported having received a large number of donations. The next meeting will be held No- vember 4. TROUBLE WITH LORRAINES. Will you tell us the trouble with our Lorraine begonias f We grew them with great success last year, but this year they have been spotted and later the stems turn black and gradually the whole plant dies. We have given them the same treatment as last year. A. F. C. Too much moisture at the root and a too cool and damp atmosphere are likely to cause the troubles you have men- tioned. Lorraines succeed best in a moderately warm house, not much shaded. Are you quite sure no strong chemical fertilizer or too fresh manure was used in the compost, or that they have not had any overdoses of stimu- lants! It is difficult to give reasons without knowing exact cultural methods and other cenditions. The soil should be light and for the last potting should contain some well decayed manure, sand, loam and flaky leaf-mold. The latter can form from one-third to one- half of the whole compost. C. W, 13 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ OOTOBBB 29, 191«. MILWAUKEE. The Market. Business last week was more satis- factory than the week previous; the receipts all around were greater, but with the increased demand there wasn't much left to speak of. It was the so- called opening of the mum season, and all that came in were readily disposed of. The funeral last Saturday of one of our oldest and most esteemed citi- zens did its share to reduce stock to the minimum on that dlty. A Visit to H. W. Koerner's. It was on October 9 that Mr. and Mrs, J. G, Heitman and Mr. and Mrs. Nic Zweifel, in the latter 's automobile, together with the writer, paid a visit to H. W. Koerner's place on the Burleigh road, in Wauwatosa. We were just in time to find a large crew busy cutting and bunching some late gladioli and dahlias. Mr. Koerner is a dahlia spe- cialist, with over 45,000 plants, and it ther proven at the S. A. F. convention at Eochester this summer, where he was awarded first prize for the best twelve varieties not yet in the market. Mr. Koerner said that he had to pack his blooms on a Sunday night, and they remained in the boxes till Tuesday morning, thus speaking well of the keeping qualities of his stock. His new seedling, American Giant, which is of a wine color, certainly is a giant and is well named. Another by the name of Vanus will be disseminated in 1912. Owing to the continued dry spell dur- ing the growing season, his dahlias be- gan to bloom quite late this season, but as we have had no killing frost he is still cutting many fine blooms at this time. Various Notes. Mrs. C. B. Whitnall returned from California last week after an absence of three months, visiting her mother and her son and his family, who reside there. Wm. Edlefsen, of the Edlefsen-Leid- Peter Lambert. was indeed a treat to see all the differ- ent shades in the giant, peony flower- ing and cactus varieties, plus a goodly lot of seedlings, among which he has a number of promising ones which he intends to disseminate as soon as he has sufficient stock. Being well along in the season, there were not many gladioli left, but those that were seen were adequate evidence to prove that he had some of the best gladioli in the country. This was fur- iger Co., who spent ten days in Pitts- burg, Pa., visiting his children, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Scott and family, returned Wednesday, October 12, and reports having had a fine time. The Holton & Hunkel force at the Humboldt avenue place were busy the fore part of last week potting up a carload of azaleas. This company is now cutting some fine blooms of Gloria, Pacific Supreme, Halliday and Virginia Poehlmann mums. Plocienniczak Bros., at Eighth and Oklahoma avenues, who have their place in apple-pie order, are adding an- other modern house, 27x120 feet, to be used for bedding stock and other odds and ends till next season, at which time they will plant it to carnations. Stock never looked better at the Heitman & Baerman place, where they make a specialty of carnations. They are not cutting heavily now, but the prospects for the coming season are encouraging. The C. C. Pollworth Co. is receiving large daily cuts of roses from the green- houses these days. Mums, too, are com- ing in more freely and no trouble is experienced in disposing of the stock, as it is of good quality. Adam Currie & Co. is the name of the new firm which intends to open a store at 130 Wisconsin street in the near future. The executive committee of the Mil- waukee flower show, in a meeting held October 15 at the Auditorium, accepted the plans of the decoration committee and no doubt we now have a surprise in store, which will help make Milwau- kee famous. The entertainment, as planned by the committee in charge, will be a special feature of the show and no one ought to miss it. E. O. OBITUABY. Peter Lambert. Peter Lambert, a pioneer florist of Des Moines, la., died at his home in that city Thursday, October 13, 1910, after an illness of several months' duration. Peter Lambert was born in Trier, Germany, August 22, 1835, and came from a family of horticulturists. His brother is Nicholas Lambert, of Lam- bert & Reiter, of Trier, who are con- ducting the same establishment at which Peter Lambert got his first schooling in the occupation that he has followed through life. Leaving Trier for Metz, France, he took twQ and a half years of schooling in his chosen work, as florist and land- scape gardener, and in 1853 he emi- grated to America. After joining an expedition against the Indians, Mr. Lambert located in Keokuk, la., and on December 18, 1859, he was united in marriage, at Summerville, la., with Miss Lucy Compton, of Hancock county, 111. \ Mr. Lambert seKyed in the army during the Civil wal', and finally set- tled in Des Moines, in 1868, where he took up the horticultural work in which he yras engaged up to the time of his death. He was superintendent of Woodland cemetery from 1882 to 1892, establishing the greenhouses at 1912 Woodland avenue, and in 1901 he was appointed custodian of Greenwood park, which position he held until his death. He was a member of the G. A. R., I. O. O. F., and the A. F. & A. M., also one of the originators of the Asso- ciation of American Superintendents of Cemeteries, organized in 1886. ^ widow, six sons and a daughter survive him. \ Akron, N. Y. — ^James J. Bates has severed his connection with the New- man greenhouse, and has erected a greenhouse 21x50 in connection with his store on John street. He is doing a good business. October 20, 1910.

This work of teaching and interest- ing the young people in keeping their dooryards attractive, and utilizing the little plots of ground surrounding their homes for the cultivation of vegetables, plaiits or flowers, was first started last year through the instrumentality of Benjamin Hammond, who offered two prizes, a winter coat, for the boy and girl producing the best garden. There were about sixty children in the contest last year and $28 was spent for the prizes.' As there were only two prizes, many of the children were disappointed, and this year Mr. Hammond divided the prize money into fourteen different prizes. ' ^ 13 The Weekly Florists^ Review.

Send your bill and I will gladly remit, as I was well paid. — N. P. Colberg. Princeton. III., October 17. 1910. IMPROVEMENT IN VENTILATION. • With regard to the suggestions given by H. G., under the head of "Operat* Vents by Power," on page 11 of The Review of October 6, I wish to say that I believe he has^struck the keynote of improvement in ventilation. I also wish to say that in a short time, after se- vere tests, there will be placed on the market an improved ventilator, which will not be too expensive and which can be placed in one house or iu a thousand houses at will. It can be set for any temperature in any house, and can be changed at will at any time to any tem- perature wanted in any house, without affecting the other houses in any way. It is so constructed that it will almost, if not entirely, eradicate mildew. Whether the night man is asleep or awake, it will do its work. There will not be any more worry about ventilat- ors being blown open and glass broken by sudden storms of wind. AH that will be necessary will be to set it by a thermometer at the temperature de- sired; it will do the rest, as far as is within reason. Thomas Chapman. CHIOAOO. The Great Central Market. For more than a week the market has been suffering from an attack of too fine weather. Daily temperatures have been running to 84 degrees in the shade and midsummer conditions have pre- vailed, both on the street, in the green- houses and in the wholesale establish- ments. A big volume of business must necessarily be being done; otherwise the enormous receipts could find no outlet except by way of the garbage wagon. It is the general report that the supply of cut flowers never before was so large during the second and third weeks of October. Naturally, prices have been and are weak. This is a point which may be disputed by the out-of-town buyers. Whenever there comes a spell of unseasonably hot weather, it affects the quality of stock; the roses are open and all flow- ers are soft, so that a great deal of se- lection is required to get out shipping orders. As a result, the selected ship- ping' stock is commanding a premium, while the discard, which could under no possibility be shipped and arrive in usable condition, has to be sold so cheaply that averages are extremely low. The chrysanthemum dominates the market. The flowers have been hast- ened to such an extent that receipts are many times what they were a week ago. Some sort of a sale is found for every- thing, but prices are decidedly below those which growers have been accus- tomed to receive. It is noted that the call is for the medium sizes; where a dozen large flowers are called for, a hundred are salable at from 6 cents to 10 cents, or possibly a little more. All roses have been in large supply and there has been difficulty in finding a buyer for the open flowers. Beauties have suffered because of the oversup- ply of mums; when the mum is cheap the Beauty must be offered at a moder- ate price if buyers are to be interested. The southern trade is calling for Maid and Bride, the least abundant of roses. Carnations have felt the effect of the heat and it is complained that they go to sleep quickly. For size of flower OCTOBBB 20, 1810. The Weekly Florists' Review. 19 All The Best Shipping Varieties Are Here. The fine mid-season sorts are now to Willowbrook, Geo. S. Kalb, Polly Rose, Roi There is no exaggeration in the statem where in the west — every good commercial us hear from you about your Mum needs, it's to our mutual advantage. here, such varieties as Virginia Poehlmann, Halliday, \0U8et, Monrovia, October Frost, Golden Glow, etc. we have the best stock of Mums to be found any- ^ariety that's in season; all colors, all sizes, all prices. Let BEAUTIES While we are able to supply all lengths of Beauties of equally good quality, we are specially strong on long-stemmed stock. These Beauties are without question the finest that have been seen in this market this season. Fine large heads, splendid color and substance, strong stem and heavy foliage; quality that attracts the buyers who hunt out the best stock to be had. CARNATIONS We want to hear from the buyers who use Carnations in quantity. For years we have been known as handling the largest lot of uniformly high quality Carnations in this market, but we do not recall a season when our Carnations were so good or in such heavy supply at this date. Prices ar§ lower than usual for this date and grade of etock, so buyers should take hold strong. KILLARNEY PINK AND WHITE We are strong on White Killamey — a big crop is on. This is fine stock, in every way as good as our famous Killamey (pink), and the color is clear. These are the finest white roses of the season. Our Killamey and White Killamey are noted for their specially large flowers. Also we can supply fine Kaiserin, Maryland and Richmond. Lilies We can supply Easier Lilies in quantity every day in the year. Plenty of them NOW. Also Aura- tums and Rubrums. Violefs As usual, we have the cream of the Hudson river doubles and the best of the home-grown singles.

Only a few days of cold weather is needed to tone them up. Violets have been in heavy supply, along with everything else. Neither the eastern stock nor the locally grown singles are anything to brag about as to quality. As usual, the best stock is commanding a premium. There are fair supplies of Easter lilies, auratums and rubrums. Cattleyas are abundant and other orchids rather overplentiful. Gladioli are practically finished, but there are more dahlias than there is use for. Cosmos is a veritable glut. The green goods market remains quiet. Employees Will Dance. The Wholesale Florists' Employees' Club will give its fifth annual ball at Columbia hall, 1527 North Clark street, Tuesday evening, October 25. Time is brief, but it was impossible to secure the hall for a later date. Fitzgerald's orchestra has been engaged, as in pre- vious years. The club consists of fif- teen members. George Foehlmann is president and John C. Enders secretary and treasurer. In other years the at- tendance has always exceeded 150 couples, and the boys say they have every reason to believe it will be at least as large this year. Smytli Doubles Store. W. J. Smyth considers the business outlook sufficiently good to warrant him in doubling the size of his store at the corner of Michigan avenue and Thirty-first street and thereby more than doubling his facilities for handling his trade. The store next door to the corner one having become vacant, Mr. Smyth has secured it, is taking down the partition to throw the two stores into one, and is decorating and fitting up the enlarged space in first-class style. A great deal of work is made neces- sary by the change, but when completed Mr. Smyth will have one of the largest and best equipped stores in tBe city. He has been at the location for many years, and it has been his invariable experience that when he added to his facilities there was a prompt increase in his business. Beinberg Man Killed. Peter Knapp, barn boss for Peter Reinberg, was killed almost instantly October 14 beneath a car of crushed stone on Mr. Reinberg 's private sid- ing at the greenhouses. It was one of the dumping cars, on which the dump- ing apparatus refused to work. Mr. Knapp went beneath the car to fix it, when it suddenly let down on him, crushing his head. He was 45 years of age and leaves a widow and five children. For years he drove Mr. Rein- berg's wagon twice daily to the mar- ket and was well known among the wholesalers. Various Notes. There will be a special meeting of the Florists' Club Thursday evening, October 20, at the Union restaurant, to further flower show arrangements. From all appearances the show this year will be fully as good as ever has been held in the Coliseum and it only remains to secure the attendance. The following applications for membership In writing on the care of "mums" In his " Week's Worlt," Mr. Fritz Bahr says:— " While on this subject I might mention our experience with the new Insecticide. 'Aphine.' We used this preparation on a hundred-foot Chrysan- /themum house from the time the stock was planted out In May up to the present. A spraying was given once every week, and while two successive applica- tions were required to get rid of a dose of aphis the plants had when planted out, the stock after that was kept entirely free from It, by applying a weekly spraying of a strength according to directions. I don't know what Aphine Is made of, and It really matters little; the Important part, besides Its effect- iveness, to the grower. Is Its cheapness, for to keep this house tree fiom these Insects didn't cost quite $1.60 all summer." Thus the effectiveness and cheapness of Aphine Is once more demonstrated by an expert authority. $2.60 per Gallon, $1.00 per Quart For Sale by all Seedsmen Manufactured by APHINE MANUrAOURING CO. MADISON, N. J. Pacific Coast Dlstribntins A cents MacRORIE-McLAREN COMPANY W constitutes the main call at his store, although he expects a good plant trade for the holidays. Mr. Farrell is one of the many florists who use goldfish in their display windows, and he states that they are worth far more than the slight care involved. Bassett & Washburn have two houses 28x200 devoted exclusively to sweet peas, planted in successional batches. The first batch is just beginning to flower, so they expect to pick steadily till after Easter. The Norwood Park Floral Co., con- ducted by F, Knoeppel and Carl Nie- mann, has been sold to Wm. Kavina. J. W. Ensweiler, who has four houses at 5325 South Morgan street, expects to begin cutting his mums next week. These are mostly in mid-season varie- ties, such as Chadwick, Eaton, Golden Glow, Ivory and October Frost. There are also some benches of carnations and the usual run of palms, ferns and other plants. Mr. Ensweiler says funeral work is good. John Michelsen, of the E.' Q. Amling Co., says that in spite of the unfavor- able condition of the market, last week's sales for his house showed a gain of one-third when compared with the same week in 1909. J. W. Breakey, who has a well equipped store at 3907 Cottage Grove avenue, says that business has been much better with him this summer and fall than it was a year ago. Mr. Breakey had the table decorations for the Jewish banquet at the Standard Club October 13. R. C. Lange h^s a neat store and greenhouses at 3339 North Whipple street, and does quite a retail business. Mr. Lange has about 10,000 mums of the Enguehard, White Bonnaffon, Oc- tober Frost and Glory of the Pacific varieties that are coming on in fine shape. John Schoepfle, who has recently re- turned from a three months' trip in Europe, says he is more than pleased with the business done at his store at 933 Belmont avenue during his ab- sence. Trade is much better than a year ago, and Mr. Schoepfle has hired extra help to look after it. The new conservatory of Stollery Bros, is completed and certainly is a credit to the firm. It is a modern, light, airy room, about 36x48 feet, and extends from the rear of the store at 1046 Wilson avenue through to Win- throp avenue, where there is another artistic entrance. By day the light streams in through an immense sky- light, which takes up almost the entire ceiling space, and by night a brilliant illumination of electric lights attr.icts visitors and makes a beautiful display. The conservatory is not yet fully stocked, but with the mums that are now arriving from their greenhouses, they expect soon to have everything in tip-top shape. Henry Van (Jelder says he expects to sell 150,000 mums in the next two months, which, as the sporting editor would say, is some mums, believe us. At E. H. Hunt's Clifford Pruner says the supply department is working to its full capacity. Among the week's visitors have been Paul Beyer, of South Bend, who says business holds up to the best of pre- vious years; Laurette E.

The warm weather last week had a bad effect on the retail trade and the local market. The wholesalers have been loaded down all the week with everything in season, and with retail demand slow, there naturally has been a slump in values all the way around. Cut chrysanthemums are coming in quite heavily and every house is well supplied with fairly good blooms in all the early varieties in white and yellow. Prices did not go over $2 per dozen for the best blooms. Violets, which were coming in fine shape, have been consid- erably hurt by the warm weather last week. In roses all varieties suffered last week. There were too many of them in the market and American Beauties especially met with a slow demand, as everybody is seeking mums. The small- er roses also piled up daily. Carnations, both white and Enchantress, sold well, but colored stock was left over. Cos- mos became a glut early in the week. Tuberoses, asters and gladioli are about over; fine valley, dahlias and lilies can be had and all greens are in stock and have a good demand. Club Meeting. Only fifteen members aj;tended the regular monthly meeting of the Flo- rists' Club at Odd Fellows' hall Thurs- day afternoon, October 13. Probably the fine weather kept many growers away, as there is still much outdoor work to do. A much larger attendance is looked for at the next meeting, which will bo held Thursday, November 10, during the week of the flower show. Visiting florists are invited to attend and arrangements are being made for a lunch to be enjoyed after the meet- ing- Applications for membership were filed by Hugo Gross, of Kirkwood; M. P. Widmer, of Highland, 111.; ,Alex P. Geranios, St. Louis, and G. M. Thost, of De Soto. Delinquents who have not paid their dues by the next meeting, will be dropped from the membership list at that time. Fred H. Weber was recommended as state vice-president of the S. A. F. for eastern Missouri, and a vote of thanks was given to H. Jen- nemann for his exhibition of dahlias. Now, everybody come to the next meeting, November 10, in Odd Fellows' hall. Various Notes. H.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Berning have been added to the list of florists who are out riding in automobiles these fine evenings. Mr. Berning 's purchase is of the touring type. The Retail Florists' Association is taking active steps toward the elimina- tion of credit being given to customers who are habitually slow pay. Flower show matters are progressing nicely.

A blower for burning rice coal, a pump for bringing the condensation back to the boiler and a concrete coal bin that is eventually to be covered complete the heating arrangements. The water arrangements are particu- larly interesting. An artesian well drilled 20-4 feet in depth supplies 125 gallons of pure water a minute. The water in well rises within twelve feet of the surface, and after four hours' hard pumping it was lowered only three feet. A powerful duplex Worthington steam pump is used for bringing the water to the surface. Steam to a pres- sure of thirty pounds is kept steadily on the boiler, so that when a spigot is turned on anywhere in the house the pump will at once start, giving a water pressure of eighty pounds. There ia no elevated tank, no surface compression tank; the water is pumped direct from the well into the pipes. The buildings, not yet completed, are of the most substantial character, stone and brick; boiler shed, cooling room, etc., are all built to stay, with ample proportions, bearing silent testimony to the excellent judgment used in plan- ning this fine place. Houses have been erected for the manager, Robert Jamison, and his as- sistant, and there are other buildings. There are also the farm house and the barn, stabling horses, cows and pigs. Excellent crops of corn, rye and clover show that the soil of Reulof is respond- ing to skillful culture. The impressions made are that the improvements of t Reulof will endure. The best material has been used everywhere, used with an intelligence born of knowledge and experience. Various Notes. Edward Reid returned from the south October 8.

A picture postal card from Berne, the Swiss capital, is an indication of the continued activity of Godfrey Asch- mann, whose safe and speedy return is promised. The fall show at Stokes' Seed Store was a great success. There was a stalk of corn sixteen feet high, for which special arrangements had to be made out in front. There were pumpkins, reminding one of the description of Jane — not pretty, but massive; in fact, they were tremendous. There was a Porto Rican squash, five feet in length, suggestive of innumerable fries, as George H. Atkinson cleverly put it. There was corn of superior quality and dahlias from our own roots th»t are to be. In fact, it was a most interesting and instructive exhibition. Louis Berger will represent G.

He had beautiful weather while away, and thoroughly enjoyed his visit. While the bulk of his time was spent at his old home in Denmark, he found time for a trip up the Rhine in Germany, also Sweden, France and England. He was particularly im- pressed with the Parisian parks and boulevards, the municipal markets there and elsewhere in Europe for the sale of cut flowers and plants among other produce exciting his admiration, and he feels that it would be a wonder- ful benefit to the growers and greatly increase cut flower sales here if pro- ducer and consumer could be brought together in the same way. In England carnations seen, such as Enchantress, Fair Maid, Winsor and other American varieties, were of grand quality, equal to our best winter blooms. Boses were also fine and cheap. S. J. Goddard is stDl having great success with Carnation Helen Goddard. Granite State, one of George E. Bux- ton's white seedlings, is proving free. Winsor, Pink Delight, White Enchant- ress and Beacon are good. During his recent European trip Mr. Goddard met most of the leading English growers of carnations, and several are planning to visit America at the time of the na- tional show in Boston next spring. At C. Engelmann's big establishment at Saffron Walden, carnations planted out were doing remarkably well. The bulk of growers, however, prefer pot culture. The quality of flowers seen was fine, equal to the best produced here. Brit- annia and Mrs. Burnett, which are not successes here, were superb there, on long, strong stems. We have much to learn from Great Britain in staging carnations, sweet peas and other flow- ers tastefully. Paul Crampe' geranium, as seen bedded out, was wonderful, as were the tuberous begonias, some dou- bles carrying' flowers six and one-half to seven inches across.

The Maxket. ^ Business has not been up to the standard for this season of the year, and it is generally thought that the warm weather has a great deal to do with it. Stock is getting more plenti- ful. Dahlias have not been extra good to date and they keep poorly, owing to the heat. Mums are much in evidence and are increasing daily. Polly Eose, Pacific and Comoleta are the principal varieties. The price holds up well and they find ready sale. Carnations are still scarce. Flower Show. On Wednesday, October 12, the Buf f alo Florists ' Club held one of the most successful and best attended meetings in the history of the club. The purpose of the meeting was to make final prepa- ration for the coming show. The meet- ing was called by President Streit and, after a few introductory remarks, the chair was turned over to Wm. F. Kast- ing, chairman of the general show com- mittee. Reports were then heard from all chairmen. The rest of the evening was devoted entirely to the selection of spaces and a discussion of the best and most artistic way of decorating the hall. The show will be held November 2 to 5, at Convention hall, the most spacious and well known public build- ing in Buffalo. A complete and artistic plan has been drawn by George W. McClure, embodying the general idea of the show, and this in itself, when carried out, will make a beautiful garden out of the bare walls, etc., of Convention hall. Spaces were soon spoken for by the many representatives, and every indi- cation points to a decided success. It will require the hearty cooperation of every florist in Buffalo to carry out the extensive plans and thus a general in- terest will be aroused. No expense is to be spared in advertising, and we shall expect every member to recom- mend the idea to every customer. One of Buffalo's best bands has been en- gaged and music is provided for every performance. The chairman of the general commit- tee has asked the correspondent of this paper to send a special note to the effect that the committee would be greatly pleased to receive any exhibi- tion flowers for the flower show.

Henry Hansen has returned from the trip he recently made to the Father- land, after a sojourn of forty years in this busy and picturesque old town. He brought back with him a good sup- ply of wooden shoes, to help make a lasting impression. He enjoyed the flavor of the Edam cheese so much that he brought a couple of big fellows along. His thoughts can be imagined when the case-, on arriving home, was opened and found to contain shavings in place of the cheese, upon which duty had been paid! And for this im- position there is no redress. Hamburg, the busy port where our genial fellow craftsman first saw the light of day, is growing as much lily of the valley as formerly. Mr. Hansen pedaled sixty miles one day on a bicy- cle through the old, familiar scenes of boyhood days. Now he has settled down again to business, and is busy building a storage house for the blocks of stock he purchased while abroad. M. MADISON, N. J. The Morris County (iardp The Keview when you wnte.

The horse show was held here last week and was, perhaps, the last to be keld here for some time, as the auto seems to be the one best bet for society just now. There is no doubt that in the course of time the horse will come bade and put the auto on the shelf, but what's the use? Airships are coming right along, and society always picks the newest amusements. Although not as good as last year, the local florists are well satisfied with th© business for the show this year. The usual quantity of orchids, valley, and gardenias was disposed of. Beau- ties and other roses had a fair call. Orders for table decorations were rather light and proved rather disappointing. On the whole, things have panned out pretty well, as funeral work had a good, steady call last week and stock was used up nicely. Besides roses and carnations, some good mums are coming, both white and yellow. This has been a good season for dahlia* and we are cutting them galore; never before have there been so many in the market, both in singles and doubles. Cosmos is also plentiful. The greenhouse men have been busy getting in palms and other stock from •utdoors. Various Notes. There is a rumor afloat that a stock company will take over the Anchorage Rose Co. and that Chas, W. Eeimers will be manager. This is not definite. At the last meeting of the bowling club the Gaillardias put one over on the Rudbeckias by taking two out of three games. The boys haven't got their wings in shape as yet; woe be unto those wooden soldiers when they do! A large light of plate glass was broken in Henry Fuchs' show window last week, in a peculiar way. A gentle- man was in to see Mr. Fuchs, and in going out he walked into the show window and knocked a large iron plant vase through the glass. The door, when •pen, is flush with the back of the plat- form in the window, hence the man evidently thought the door was closed and stumbled over the platform into the vase. K. R.

ONIONS FOB EABLY SPSINa. Please let me know when the best time is to plant onion sets to get them very early in the spring, in the climate of Kansas. What would be the best kind, and should they be covered? L. V. The earliest of green onions in the spring are the winter onions, which live outside without any protection all win- ter. They should be planted in August, so as to get started into growth before cold .weather. It is too late now to put out a bed of them. Many people have a bed of this variety in their home gardens, from which they pull all they want to use in the spring and leave a portion to multiply from the roots and fill up the bed again. The better way is to plant a new bed every August and leave only enough unsold to grow the sets on for the August planting, or pull and sell them all and use the ground for another summer crop, buy- ing new top sets to plant when the time comes in August. A great many people think these win- ter onions of poor quality, but this is not the case, except late in the spring, when they get too large, strong and tough. Early in the spring, almost as soon as the frost is out of the ground, they are ready to sell, and no nicer green onions can be grown, but, as already stated, they get poor in quality a few weeks later, if not all sold. Then the green onions from common bottom sets — sim- ply small onions, set out very early in the spring — begin to come into the mar- ket and are so much nicer then that there is an end to the winter onion pulling season. A good way for gar- deners to manage is to grow both kinds, and thus have green onions of good quality all the time. Any kind of bot- tom sets or small onions make good green onions for early spring planting, but the white or yellow are preferred. The larger they are the sooner they make a salable onion, but the smaller they are the more you get in a bushel. Last winter I had a lot of them that lived over in the ground outside, as there were some small ones that were not harvested last fall and there was plenty of snow all winter for protection, and I harvested a good lot of them un- expectedly. I have also grown this kind in coldframes, by planting them late in the fall and placing glass sashes over them, covering the sashes with manure and taking the manure off early in the spring. I beUeve they would winter satisfac- torily outside in your latitude, with only a straw or manure covering. You might try some this way, and some again as soon as the frost is sufficiently out of the ground in the spring to get them in. Small onions culled out of the crop are cheap in the fall, and since it is too late to put out winter onions, you Vegetable Plants CABBAGK-Wakefield and Succession. fl.OO per 1000; 20c per 100.

THE FINEST IRRIGATED LMD TO BE FOUND IN ANY COUNTRY UNDER THE SUN $85.00 per Acre This astonishingly low price for land that yields such large returns is pos- sible only for the reason that we own 4000 acres in the great San Joaquin Valley. This land is suitable to grow Coffon, Corn, Alfalfa, Canta- loupes, Potatoes, Beets, Watermelons, Tomatoes, any kind of fruit, Oranges, Lemons, Walnuts, Almonds, Figs, Peaches, etc. California offers an opportunity to-day that cannot be equaled in any other section of the country. The demands for California's products are increasing so rapidly that the crops are eagerly seized at highest prices. Thousands of recent settlers in California are making big money from their small farms with nO more effort than they formerly put into less lucrative work that paid them only a bare living. Price, $85.00 per acre, one-fourth cash, balance one, two and three years. Annual net returns, $100.00 to $1000.00 per acre, depend- ing on individual effort and the crops raised. You should get in touch at once with your opportunity, for you can do as well or better than thousands who had no previous experience, and who to-day are rapidly making fortunes at farming. Send a postal or letter for full particulars. Good California land is going rapidly. At least, investigate. Do it at once. Curiosity makes money.

S. Jones & Co., Sioux Falls, S. D., have bought what is known as the Kiehl tract for use as a trial ground. It is reported the purchase price was $250 per acre, which is a record for farm lands near Sioux City. When the directors of the Wholesale Seedsmen's League met at New York October 13 the consensus of opinion was that the seed supply for 1911 warrants higher prices than any seedsman cares to charge his regular customers. Somewhat contrary to the expectations of the Holland bulb merchants at the beginning of the season, hyacinths have moved off to a good clean-up, the demand having been considerably better than in recent years. Prices of many of the leading varieties have gone up sharply. The crop of commercial limas in south- ern California is turning out better than expected. The damage from such a storm as recently visited the Coast lima bean section always looks at first greater than it turns out to be, authorities say. The weather that followed the rain has been exceptionally favorable for that part of the crop which still was unharvested. It is reported from Holland that a dealer in agricultural implements, named Dallinga, at Winschoten, has devised a special radish thrasher, a machine which performs the difficult task of separating the seeds and pods of freshly harvested radish. The machine is being used by some of the Dutch seed growers and is said to be giving excellent results, di- rectly cleaning the pods and saving all seeds from the straw. The same report has it that the radish crop in Holland is harvested and will yield a medium crop. LEONARD SEED CO.

THE FESCUES. While the festucas are essentially permanent pasture grasses, some of them are useful for lawns, and most of the lawn seed mixtures contain the fescues in greater or less proportion. The item, therefore, is one of importance to the seed trade. Prices have been advancing steadily, and the present season's crop is reported smaller than last year, so that there has been another advance in price. In this connection the reports made by the big German g^ass seed honses will be of interest. Conrad Appel, of Darmstadt, says of Festuca elatior that the Ehenish seed is of excellent quality this season, owing to the wet weather, but that the crop is somewhat smaller than last year, and higher prices had to be paid for the rough seed. Of Festuca duriuscula and Festuca ovina the yield did not come up to expectations, on account of un- favorable weather; already last year the prices for the rou^h seed were high, but this year still higher prices have been asked from the dealers, and had to be paid; the few lots of bright and FOTTLER, FiSKE, RA^y^N CO.

PIERSON CO., Tarrytown-on-Hudson, N. Y. Mention The Review when you write heavy quality were in demand and soon disposed of. Festuca ovina angustifolia was a better crop than last season, and could be obtained from the growers at lower prices. The weather has influ- enced the quality, and many lots are of dark color and light weight. Festuca heterophylla and Festuca rubra of true German origin were again a small crop, and prices equal those of last season. The yield of the New Zealand red fes- cue has been small, and the few lots are in firm hands. A. Le Coq & Co., Darmstadt, say that at the beginning reports of small crops of Festuca duriuseula and Festuca ovina were discredited by those who hoped for a reduction of prices, which, how- ever, has not come. There are no strong offerings of seed, and it looks as if the stocks were, indeed, not abundant. There seems to be no hope for a reduc- tion of prices and, on the contrary, higher prices than last year are likely to rule. Most of the seed is of good color, but badly mixed with weeds, the separating of which causes high prices for fancy quality. The quantity of true Rhenish Festuca elatior harvested was larger than last year but the quality is not so heavy; speculation has made it necessary to pay a higher price for the rough seed than last year, and, conse- quently, prices for recleaned seed will also be higher. Festuca ovina tenuifolia yielded a better crop than last year; the rain spoiled much seed, but there are some bright lots. The crop of Fes- tuca pratensis is estimated to be only two-thirds that of last year, and as this was only a small one, we cannot be sur- prised to see exceedingly high prices; old stocks are entirely sold out and the new crop will soon be exhausted. The yield of Festuca rubra is much smaller than last year, but the quality of the bulk is satisfactory, and this year's imports show a surprisingly good ger- mination. First-class rough seed com- manded a high price. Festuca hetero- phylla yielded a good crop. Gustav Schott, of Aschaffenburg, Ba- varia, says of Festuca ovina and durius- eula fine qualities are scarce and prices will be somewhat higher than last year. Festuca tenuifolia is available in fine qualities at moderate price. Crops of Festuca heterophylla and rubra again look thin. Of Festuca pratensis the yield is everywhere smaller than last year, and it is doubtful whether it will be possible to cover the requirements. Prices therefore set in high. Those high prices alBO influenced the market for Festuca elatior, which, even though the crop turned out about an average, is dearer than last year. CATALOGUES BECEIVED. L. W.

If you have a good name as a grower you can stand a lily failure once without los- ing much trade; but no mat- ter how good your reputation or what excuse you offer, you can't stand it twice in succes- sion. Now about one-half of the Easter lily failures are due to inferior bulbs and the other half in the handling. You can greatly increase your blooming average by buying only the very best bulbs — good clean stock from vigorous fields — and giving them attention. No grower can be successful in the long run with cheap bulbs, for good bulbs are not generally cheap. You can't buy a better grade than the Superior As- sortment Horseshoe Brand Giganteum 7/9 and they are $22.50 per case of 300 or $9.00 per case of 100 bulbs. If you want we will reserve bulbs in Cold Storage for you and ship them any time dur- ing 1911, charging you only a very nominal fee for storage.

Can I bloom them success- fully without shifting to larger sized pots? The pots are well filled with roots and the bracts seem to be forming. C. P. N.

Use for compost two-thirds loam and one-third well decayed man- ure, preferably cow manure, also adding some sharp sand. After potting, let the plants have a house with a night tem- perature of 50 degrees. Increase this 10 degrees as the bracts start to form. You could, if you wished, plant out your stock in a bench in four or five inches of soil, and if you have a spare bench, the requisite heat, and want the bracts for cutting, this plan would be the easiest to adopt.

There are none too many peonies in this country — only too many of certain kinds that may be described as obsolete. W. L. E. Green, proprietor of the Kearney Nurseries, Kearney, Neb., has put up a storage building capable of housing the greater part of his stock for spring delivery. J. Geo. Bowyer, formerly proprietor of the Harlingen Sub-tropical Nursery, at Harlingen, Tex., has now purchased an interest in Griffing's Semi- tropic Nurs- eries, at McAllen, Tex. The nurseries of the late W. B. Whit- tier, Framingham, Mass., have been pur- chased by W. H. Wyman, of the Bay State Nurseries, North Abington, Mass. They will be operated under the old title, W. B. Whittier & Co., and inde- pendently of the North Abington nurser- ies. Mrs. "Whittier has sold sdl her inter- est in the nurseries. This purchase will make Mr. Wyman 's nurseries the largest in New England and among the most extensive in the east. NUBSEBIES OF MISSOUBI. "With the largest plant nursery in the world within its borders and an out- put of nursery products for 1909 val- ued at nearly $2,000,000, the indica- tions are that Missouri ranks second or third among the states for this class of commodities," says Labor Commis- sioner J. C. A. Miller, in the 1910 Red Book of the Missouri State Bureau of Labor Statistics. "The 114 counties of Missouri last year placed on the market nursery products to the value of $1,570,547. When the output of the greenhouses of St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph are added, valued, in round numbers, at about $400,000, it will be found that the total worth for the whole state was $1,970,547, a neat sum considering that the nurseries are now common to every farming community." Properly divided according to classes, the 1909 products of nurseries outside of St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Jo- seph, as figured out by Supervising Sta- tistician Arch T. Edmonston, of the labor bureau, were: Cut flowers, valued at $526,147; strawberry plants, 2,100,- 000, valued at $42,000; miscellaneous nursery stock, valued at $1,002,400. Pike county, which contains the larg- est nursery in the world, led the other counties with an output which was worth $746,951. St. Louis county nurs- eries placed on the market plants and cut flowers to the value of $76,300, ex- clusive, of cotttse, of the output oz the greenhouses and gardens of the city.

Bahr. of HiKhland Park. 111., recognized as an authority on matters horticultural, says as follows: "What a wonderful variety Peony Festiva maxima Is for the florist! To my mind we haven't anything to beat It, no matter what the color or size, and If you are going to make up a list for planting out this fall, which, by the way. Is really the best time of the year to plant Peonies, don't overlook Festiva maxima. As far as I can find out. this wonderful Peony was offered by Mlellez In 1851, and has been 'queen supreme' ever since. I had the pleasure of seeing a field of it in bloom at a nursery In Ohlcago, What a sight— blooms almost eight inches across, with over four- foot stems! Of all the many other varieties in bloom at the same time surrounding it none of them impressed me as much. You cannot invest in anything that will bring better returns. There are the flowers, which, when well done, bring good prices, and the plants will increase In value from year to year. I don't know of anything one could plant which would pay better. Therefore, if you intend planting out one thousand plants this fall, order seven hundred Festiva maxima." Ne'ws Note [From The Review, Issue of Oct. 13, 1910.] "Large numbers of florists wlio grow for their own retail trade are this season planting patches of Peonies of the better cut flower varieties." (Enougfh Said) The "up-to-date" florist who has a piece of spare ground is planting Peonies* They are not only ex- tremely useful as cut flowers, but there is also a good profit in selling the roots to your customers, and which invariably insure a standing advertisement for you in other lines. We have just received a large consignment of the grand variety Festiva Maxima White, with Pig^eon-blood Center Strong, three to four-eye roots, and ofifer them at the low price of $1.75 per dozen, $12.00 per 100.

Jasper county also holds high rank for its annual surplus of nursery products, the worth of the 1909 crop being $82,000. This county is the center of strawberry plant culture, leading all other counties in this respect. Every Missouri nursery annually places many flowers on the market, but Cass county holds, and for many years has held, the lead in this respect. Railroad figures from there covering 1909 show that the shipments of cut and other kinds of flowers for that year weighed 798,663 pounds, and that their worth was $399,337. St. Louis, Jack- son, Jasper, Greene, Buchanan, Pettis, Cole and Cape Girardeau counties also marketed many thousand pounds of flowers. TREATMENT FOR HOLLOW TREE. Will you tell me what to do with a tree that has rotted at the heart until there is but a rim about five inches thick left? There is an opening on one side about eight inches wide that ex- tends up the tree about ten feet, start- ing at the ground, and the edges of the opening are healed and barked over, and the tree looks healthy. The rotten part extends inside the tree about four feet above the opening. Should it be scraped and filled with cement? G. G. Scrape away all decayed matter in the opening and chisel out all the rotted portion above the opening and clean it out well. Trees in an even worse con- dition than yours have been saved, and there is no reason whatever why yours cannot be made to grow for many years. Instead of using cement en- tirely, you can fill the opening with stones, cementing them as you go along and leaving the front facing to be done last. When all is finished, give the surface a dressing of coal tar. Any wounds can also be dressed with coal tar, previously cutting a smooth surface for it. Tar is a splendid preservative and cleanser, and keeps water from soaking through the cracks into the hearts of trees. For the inside of the tree among the stones, one part Port- land cement to three parts sand will do, but for facing the work we would make it equal parts of cement and sand. C. W.

Florists on the Pacific coast will be specially interested in the illustrations from photographs showing the new store at Seattle of the Hollywood Gardens. These appear on page 8, as there is not space under this heading. The Pacific Coast Nurserymen's As- sociation may hold its next annual meet- ing in Los Angeles, Cal., the convention league having started a campaign to this end. George C. Eoeding, of the Faneher Creek Nurseries, Fresno, Cal., is presi- dent of the association. SEATTLE. The Market. For the last week we have had rain almost every day, which indicates that the rainy season is at hand. The florists look forward to this season with pleas- ure, for the rain does away with all the outside stock which grows in such abundance here. There has been a scarcity of carna- tions and roses for a week or so and mums are not plentiful yet. A few shipments of California violets have been received, but the stock is too soft to ship well. Some of the florists are showing some home-grown violets, but the supply is decidedly limited. Autumn foliage is taking the place of flowers for decorating in a great many of the shop windows. The foli- age here is exceptionally fine. Various Notes. The Hollywood Gardens put their new auto delivery car on the streets October 6. It attracts attention every- where it goes. The H. Harrington Co. is showing some fine orchids and home-grown vio- lets. The firm is cutting about twenty- five cattleyas a day and expects to in- crease the cut toward Christmas. Miss Burns, of the Woodland Seed & Floral Co., reports that they are cutting some fine mums. Mrs. L. W. McCoy has been visiting in Portland, Ore., for several weeks. She reports that business is good down there. J. A. Balmer, of Cle Elum, Wash., spent a few days here in the last part of September. He ordered materials for some new houses which ne expects to build soon. Frank Sault, of Indianapolis, Ind., has been in the city several days. He expects to locate at Tacoma. T. B. P. SAN FRANCISCO, CAI.. The Market. Business continues fair, with sudden spurts in the line of funeral work every few days. We have had a shower or two each day recently, which is quite unusual for this climate at this time of the year. There has been no damage reported, however, and it has the ad- vantage of laying the dust, freshening outside stock in general and making violets more plentiful and of better color and substance than they have been at any time this season.

With the ad- vance of autumn and colder weather, trade has opened up in full force. Stock is more abundant. Carnations are bet- ter. There are plenty of roses and chrys- anthemums in the market. We have had our fall festivities, including the social ball at the Coliseum, October 7, which always is the grandest of the season and this year seemed to excel all others. The decorations were fine, consisting of a large number of large palms, wild smilax, asparagus and festooning, as well as American Beauties and chrys- anthemums. There was an attendance of about 2,000. There was a marked increase in corsage and hand bouquets of orchids, valley and violets, as well as all kinds of roses. Various Notes. The Douglas county fair was held here in connection with the carnival, with fine displays of cut flowers and plants. L. Henderson, Paul Floth and A. Hooge made exhibits and carried away most of the prizes. The Omaha Florists ' Club held its an- nual meeting October 13 and elected of- ficers as follows for the ensuing year: President, George Swoboda; vice-presi- dent, Oscar Herman; secretary, Lewis Henderson; treasurer, George Soransen; trustees, P. Floth, A. Hooge and Charley Green. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Floth gave their annual elaborate supper and entertain- ment October 6 to the Douglas county floral directors. A. Hooge is busy completing a new greenhouse. S. K. Faulkner is bringing in some fine violets and so is George Soransen. L. H. ALBANY, N. Y. Three new members were added to the list at the last meeting of the Albany Florists' Club. Tickets for the second annual flower show, to be held in the state armory in November, were dis- tributed and a report of progress was made by the special committee in charge. The evening was enlivened by discus- sions on trade subjects, in which many of the members took part. Chairman Frederick Goldring was able to throw considerable light upon carnation rot by reporting his personal observations. It is proposed to make the question box an important feature of every meeting. SMILAX 3-inch, $40.00 per 1000 Sprengeri, 2-inch, $25.00 per 1000. POEHLMANN BROS. CO. Morton Grove, 111.

Julius Roehrs Company, Rutherford, N. J. Mention The Review when you write. NEW BEDFOBD, MASS. The Market. Business was rather quiet here last week, though funeral work was fair. Asters are gone, except a few small side blooms. Carnations are now of good quality. Wholesale prices stiflf- ened during the last week or so. Car- nations retail at 50 cents per dozen, good roses at $1.25 and $1.50 per dozen. Some fine Killarneys are now com- ing in. Violets sell fairly well; 75 cents per hundred blooms is the gen- eral retail price. Snapdragons retail at 75 cents per dozen. Mums are now ar- riving in limited quantities; these sell at $2.50 per dozen, retail. A few gla- dioli are still to be seen. Candytuft, alyssum and other fine white flowers help considerably. Greens are quite plentiful. There has been no frost up to date and everything is blooming out- doors. Dahlias are in full splendor. Various Notes. Peter Murray, of Fairhaven, Mass., has his new house, 42x162, all planted to carnations. He is commencing to cut early mums. He will have some nice plants for the holidays. A new No. 8 Kroeschell boiler helps to run the new range. E. H. Chamberlain is back again, after being on the sick list. Wm. P. Peirce is making some nice window displays these days. This es- tablishment, since Julius Eositzsky took hold, is one of the most up-to-date and enterprising stores in this section. Wm. H. Davenport has had some nice mums in his window lately.

Woerner, 620 N. leth StTo^ahaTN^ WINTERING TENDEB AQUATICS. Will you tell me the best method of wintering tender nymphseas, nelum- • biums water hyacinths and tulips in this Arkansas climate? I have been thinking of building cement basins un- der my greenhouse benches for this pur- pose. The plants are now in cement basins two feet deep, with one foot of soil m the bottom and about one foot of water. This is my first year's ex- perience with water gardening and I should appreciate any information on the subject. q ip, D Cement basins under the benches wilj answer well. There is no need to make them deep; twelve to fifteen inches is ample, placing six inches of aquatic soil in the bottom. You could build similar basins in a heated frame if you have such. If these can be kept at a mini- mum of 60 degrees, they will carry any of the nymphffias through nicely. We have seen them successfully wintered in an even lower temperature, but in the latter case a pipe in the water kept it moderately warm all the time. The nelumbiums should not need any win- ter protection in your climate. The Limnocharis Humboldtii, or water pop- py, and Eichhornia crassipes major, or water hyacinth, will winter in any metal or cement tank containing four to six inches of water. c. w. GENISTAS TURNING YELLOW. I have a lot of Genista fragrans which grew nicely until about two months ago. I took cow manure and soaked in water and gave them a dose every two weeks. But since that time they have stopped growing and turned yellow, and some of them died. Can you give me some advice in this mat- ter? o. L. H. You have undoubtedly given the genistas an overdose of manure water. All you can do now is to stop using it and stick to clear water. Genistas do not require any feeding at this season, and will not stand any such doses as soft-wooded plants. Manure water, when applied to genistas, acacias, ericas, camellias, etc., should be quite weak, and ought not to be applied at this season at all. C. W. PROPAGATION OF SPRENGEBI. Please tell me the best way of start- ing Asparagus Sprengeri. Can it be started from cuttings? ,T. G. Asparagus Sprengeri is usually propa- gated from seeds, which may be had from almost any of the larger seeds- men, w. H. T.

There is a small leak in our boiler, immediately over the fire. Do you think cast-iron borings and sal am- moniac would do the leak any good, or what would you suggest! D. & J. If the leak is not too large it may be possible to stop it by using either iron filings and sal ammoniac, or litharge. The latter should be stirred up in glycerine, and after it has been applied to the leak it should be burned oflf with a torch. By making a number of appli- cations a leak of considerable size may be stopped. DEFECT IN HEATING SYSTEM. I am sending you a diagram of our heating plant and should like to know whether you can see any defect in our system of piping. We are not getting satisfactory service from our boiler, which is supposed to heat 6,000 square feet of glass in zero weather. We have only 5,000 square feet of glass, as you will see by referring to the sketch, but we have difficulty in pushing the boiler so as to heat the houses, though we are located in southern New Orleans and have no zero temperature to con- tend with. We use soft coal and coke for fuel. D. & J- The amount of glass is really some- thing over 6,000 square feet, instead of 5,000 square feet as stated, as in esti- mating radiation the total amount of glass exposed is considered. The sketch shows two houses 15x100 feet, and one house 20x100 feet. In each of the 15-foot houses there are two HARRISBIIRG-FRANKLINCOALa 1216 Fisher Building, CHICAGO The Better Grades ONLY of INDIANA AND ILLINOIS COALS Preparation and quality as they should be.

In the 20-foot house there are three flows and the same number of returns. It is evident that both flows and returns are below the top of the heater and the best re- sults cannot be secured with the piping so arranged, unless a closed system is used. Even better results can be ob- tained by carrying the flow pipes at the level of the plates and raising the returns to within a foot of the bottom of the benches, or, if on the walls, plac- ing them just under the flows. A PARTITIONED GREENHOUSE. Will you kindly give me some advice about the heating of my new green- house f It runs north and south and is sixteen feet wide. It has a total length of fifty-eight feet, but is divided into two rooms. The north room, eighteen feet long, is for violets; the south room, forty feet long, is for bedding plants, geraniums, etc. The larger room is three and a half feet high at the sides and six and a half feet high at the ridge. The smaller room is two feet high at the sides and five feet at the ridge, and the walk is sunk eighteen inches below the ground level, so as to SMITH, UNEAWEAYER & CO. COAL iBtkrMito, BltaaUBoai.

I thought of building a small boiler shed at the south end, and would prefer having the boiler on a level with the greenhouse, if expedient, on account of the ground being rather low, but I shall dig a pit if it is really necessary. Kindly give me definite plans for the piping, so as to have a temperature of 42 to 45 degrees in the violet house and 45 to 50 degrees in the other room. I am located in the western part of New York state. C. G. J. & S. If the returns are not above the top of the boiler it is desirable to use a closed system, by putting on a riveted boiler-iron tank, with a water gauge on the side and a safety valve at the top. This will make it possible to heat the water considerably above the boiling eCTOBER 20, 1910.

I am building two greenhouses, to be heated by steam, and will be thankful tor any suggestions about the piping. One house is 21x100, twelve feet to the idge and six feet to the gutters.

There is a pace of fourteen feet between the 'Ouses. I shall use two flow pipes in ach house, so I can hang them on the 'urlin supports. Kindly tell me what ■ize the flow pipes should be for the wo houses, and how many IVi-inch 'etuTBs will be needed for a tempera- ure of 60 degrees, with zero weather.

Should I use a sepa- rate main flow and main return for the houses ] am building now, or can I have them big enough for the four houses? There is a good fall from the houses to the boiler. G. A. W. To maintain a temperature of 60 de- grees in a house that is 21x100 feet, with thirty-two inches of glass in one wall, it will be advisable to use a 2-inch flow and ten 114-inch returns; while the house that is 25x125 feet, with glass in both side walls, will re- quire a 2 V.' -inch flow and twelve 1^/4 - inch returns. For these two houses it will answer if a twenty horse-power boiler is used, but if two additional houses of the same size are to be heated the boiler should be of thirty-five or forty horse- power. For a gravity system the top of the boiler should, if possible, be three or four feet below the lowest part of the returns and if it cannot be at least two feet below the returns it will be advisable to use a steam trap or pump. The best plan will be to put in mains sufficiently large for the additional houses which it is proposed to erect. For the four houses it will answer if a 3-inch flow and a 2-ineh return are used.

Market eomlitions have beeu fair for the last week, and stock generally has cleaned up nicely, but at low prices. There are quantities of flowers of all kinds. Beauties and roses continue plentiful, with carnations coming in more abundantly every day. Chrysan- themums are coming in fast, and dah- lias have been almost a glut; in fact, there is no shortage of anything. The weatlier has been so fine that if it con- tinues it is liable to affect some of the early spring-blooming shrubbery. Apple trees are reported in bloom, and in some sections violets are in bloom in the field. One gardener near Kittan- uing picked thirty-two quarts of straw- berries October 15, and says that if the weather continues good he will have a couple more pickings. Various Notes. E. C.

Did you ever notice how, at a flower show, the visitors, and especially the ladies, cluster around the decorated din- ner tables and how closely they note each detail of flowers and their arrange- ment? There is nothing at a show that attracts so much attention from actual flower buyers as do the table decora- tions; it's a part of the show that means real business for the trade, be- cause the women who are doing things get ideas they sooner or later carry out in their own homes. Not a few retailers in good locations find dinner work an important part of their business. Once let a hostess use flowers from a skillful florist when she has guests at table, and that hostess is pretty sure to be- come a regular customer — her board to her looks bare and inhospitable without the flowers. An Example. A good centerpiece is not expensive, nor is it difficult to make. The accom- panying illustration, from a photograph of a table decoration arranged by Harve E. Lozier, Des Moines, la., is an excel- lent example; it may be varied to suit the size of the table and the depth of the purse of the customer. This center- piece was made of Killarney roses and valley, with Adiantum Farleyense as the green needed in addition to the rose and valley foliage. The boutonnieres were small, consisting of a few sprays of valley backed by a frond of Farley- ense. But the special feature of the center- piece is the fact that while it fills the center of the table, giving an effect as of abundance, it is not high enough to interfere with intercourse between the guests across the table. Plates were laid for twelve, so that in this case a large table and a large centerpiece were required, but for the largest or the smaller tables all that is required is to add to or take from the centerpiece, in no case adding greatly to its height. Where ladies are to dine they ordinarily are given corsage bunches of greater size than the boutonnieres for the men. To Make a Centerpiece. For the making of these centerpieces the article used by the best stores is the willow plateaju sold by all the sup- ply houses. The retailer usually carries these plateaux in stock in sizes from 10-inch to 36-inch, both round and oval. While an inventive maker-up can de- vise a number of substitutes that cost nothing, the plateaux are the only thing to use for good trade, and the expense is small, say from $1 a dozen to $1 apiece for the various sizes. Line the willow base well, using tin- foil and paper. The lining is impor- tant, because if moisture comes through and soils the tablecloth your work will make anything but a favorable impres- sion. With the lining well looked to, fill in with damp moss, damp enough to handle, but not so wet that you can wring moisture out of it, else you will be in danger. As you pack in the moss to the required shape and density, wind it firmly in place. For this some florists use an^"^ strong cord, but the better workmen use the stout green thread that now is sold so cheaply in satisfac- tory quality that hardly any store is without a supply; when used in design work it is almost invisible, even if not wholly covered. A layer of ferns goes over the moss on the plateaux. If good, stiff -stemmed roses are used for the centerpiece no wiring is needed; all that one has to do is to cut the stems to the right length with a slant- ing cut that gives a sharp point that will readily penetrate the moss. If weak-stemmed roses are used, as for the less expensive class of centerpieces, it may be necessary to reinforce the stems with wire; or if short roses are used it may be desirable to lengthen some of them by wiring on a match- stick, in which case the green sticks always should be used. Such flowers as valley always must be stemmed and, unless the centerpiece is decidedly small, they must be stemmed on match- sticks instead of toothpicks, or they will not stand out among larger flowers, if any are used. The green also must be stemmed, in the majority of caSel There is nothing finer for this purpose than Farleyense, though more often one of the other adiantums is used. Given a little opportunity, any skill- ful flower worker can make centerpieces all in the same general style but suffi- ciently different so that monotony will be avoided. There is one point to be considered: A centerpiece so made is an exceedihgly ephemeral affair; it can last only so long as the softest of the flowers used will endure in a warm room. Therefore such work is only to be made up as shortly as possible before the hour of actual use. One of the effective ways for increas- ing interest in dinner work, and of get- ting orders for it. is to occasionally set Dinner Fable Work Has Become an Important Department of the Retail Business. 8 The Weekly Florists^ Review* October 27, 1910. a table in your -window, using not only j^ood flowers but the best napery you can procure; usually the dishes and sil- ver can be borrowed from a merchant by putting his card on your display. THE RETAILERS' TROUBLES. [An extrnot from a paper by Edward Mac- Mulkln, of lioston. Muss., read at a meeting of the Gardeners' and Klorlsts' Club of Boston, October 18, 1910.] As a body the retail florists mean to be fair, but I am sorry to say that some of them have contracted bad habits. In every large city you will find men who, the moment they find a neighbor in the way of obtaining a good order, will deliberately ofl"er to do the work for so much less, regardless of what profit they can make, simply to get the business away from the neighbor. This is a serious drawback to the man who is doing a legitimate business. Unfor- tunately, it is a common practice all over the country. If these men would only stop to think, they would know that this practice is doing them no good and is hurting the customer, who nat- urally feels that he was imposed on at first, and who knows that he has been imposed on when he sees the order com- pleted. 1 have seen many such orders, but never saw one that was satisfac- Another trouble in the trade is that the average customer cannot understand the great difference in the quality and price of flowers. If the dealer is at all unscrupulous, it is easy for him to de- ceive the customer by giving him the impression that he is really selling the same article for less money. Of course this does not happen often, and is always disastrous to the cheap man. He makes that one trade, but can never do business with the same customer again. In Business to Stay. Every man in business is entitled to a legitimate profit. He must satisfy himself what that profit should be, and then see that he gets it. If his un- scrupulous neighbor should take away ii trade it should not bother him; his customer is sure to come back, and come back to stay. The man who starts in the retail florists' business today is in it to stay, if he can. To do a paying business today, he must invest considerable capi- tal in fixtures, and in what is known as dead stock; that is, a certain amount of stock that must always be in his possession to do business properly and at a profit. To be successful as a florist in these times, a man must have Edward MacMuIkin. tory to the customer. You can readily understand that one man cannot give the same thing for much leas than an- other while at the same time satisfying his customer; he oithor ruts down on the quantity or the quality of stock supplied, either one of whicii is sure to be noticed. As a consequence, he does himself no good and prevents his neigh- bor from making a fair profit on the order. a presentable place in which to do busi- ness; he must keep it well stocked; he must have a goodly number of compe- tent employees. He must also have greenhouses in which to store the stock necessary for the business, or must hire them, thus reducing his profits; he must have or hire land for his garden work; in fact, he should be in a position to tell liis customer he can fix up his grounds or his garden as well as his table. Nowadays the customer not only wants such service of his florist, but ex- pects it of him. If you cannot do it for him he goes to the other fellow, who does the work for him. He also sells flowers to your former customer, who is now yours no more. Every man in the trade should have the ambition to run a place where everything relating to flowers can be obtained for the asking. Busy the Year Around. The outdoor work of the florist is gradually assuming large proportions and is deserving of his best efforts. It is a well-known fact that what is called the store business is only good from about October 1 to May 1. The rest of the year the florist who does nothing but a store business has hard work to make both ends meet, generally using up the winter's profits to pay the summer's expenses. Many years ago I saw the necessity of making the dull months, if not profitable, at least self- supporting, and, to my surprise, found conditions were such that I would find no difficulty in providing work for men who otherwise would have to remain idle during the summer. I want to say here that experienced labor is difficult to obtain, and when you get good men it is better to keep them than let them go for a couple of months when you really have nothing for them to do. To make the florists' business profit- able today requires a certain class of men, and the more they know about their business the more successful they will be. Any ordinary, well-dressed man can sell a customer what he wants, but the real man must have many qualifica- tions to make him a §uccess. All these should be natural, but if the individual is so unfortunate as not to possess them, they can be acquired. Taste, Tact and Integrity. The successful florist must have good taste, good ideas, good manners, and the integrity to carry out in good faith any agreement he may make with a cus- tomer. Naturally, his taste and ideas must be good, as customers do not care for the same thing often, and some- times do not want what they have seen elsewhere. This makes it imperative for the florist to be able to originate new schemes for the arrangement of flowers and new methods of placing them before the customer. The temptation to save money and material at the expense of the cus- tomer is often great, but it is always a mistake. The principal mistake made by the retail florist is the selling of old flowers. Don't sell old flowers (I hope all the growers here are listening). You make money by throwing them away. Nothing discourages a customer so much as to buy a few flowers and find them all curled up the next day. He may stand it once or twice, but in a short time he fdels he is throwing money away to buy flowers, and instead of buying once or twice a week, he only buys when it is absolutely neces- sary, and then with the feeling that he is not getting what he pays for. It is also poor policy to sell your customer what he asks for simply be- cause he is willing to pay for it, when j'ou know he will not be satisfied with the result. Do the right thing by tell- ing him what you know. It will give him confidence in vnur abilitv and in- October 27, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review* 9 tegrity, and will also help to increase your business. If you are in doubt about anything, don't pretend to know; find the man that knows and ask him. You can always find him, provided you have the courage to admit there is something you do not know. Make your people feel that nowhere else could they obtain as ^'ood results as with you. It is a well- settled fact that every satisfied cus- tomer will make another for you. The Up-to-Date Salesman. Years ago all that was required of the florist was the making of a bou- quet, putting a few flowers into a second-hand shoe box, making a few so-called designs for funeral purposes, and occasionally something more pre- tentious than a bouquet for a large banquet. Today the florist must be prepared to present ideas to the customer for the decoration of the dinner table, house decorations for weddings, receptions, teas, etc.; church decorations for all occasions; the arrangement of flowers in appropriate forms for birthdays, an- niversaries, funerals, etc. He must know what is appropriate for the occa- sion and properly execute the commis- sion. To the average buyer the selec- tion of flowers for a special occasion is a new experience, and it is the duty of the florist to suggest to his customer what he knows is the best thing for him to have. Not only must the florist do this, but he should make the expense so reasonable that the customer will not be afraid to look at a florist's window afterward. There is more money in selling a man $0 worth of goods a hundred times than in selling him $100 worth once. The florist often finds it difficult to draw the line between what he would like to give the customer and what he wants and should have, and often the addition of a few dollars to the expense would act as the straw that broke the camel's back. While the customer would pay it, and really get his money 's worth, he would still feel that he was compelled to undergo an expense that under the circumstances was entirely uncalled for. One Point in Educating the Public. The more the general public is edu- cated to the fact that it is the thing to pifovide flowers for any and all occa- sions, the better it will be for your business. The only way to do this is to make them feel that they are getting their money's worth. While flowers vary in price at dif- ferent seasons of the year, they always have a price, and it should be the same to everybody. It is too often the habit with some florists to ask a certain price for flowers that his customer will con- sider more than he wants to pay, and then, instead of offering something more in keeping with what is wanted as regards price, he will reduce the price of his offerings. This is not the practice in other lines of business, and nothing you can do or say will convince your customer that you were not at- tempting to take advantage of him. 1 do not mean by this that a large buyer should not receive concessions. It is legitimate in any business to sell a buyer at a less price per hundred than could be made for a single article. Never allow one customer to say to another that he can buy the same tiling The Bride. for less money than the other can. This is also true when you give a purchaser a price and he tells you he can get the same thing elsewhere for less money. Take no notice of it. The other fel- low must make a profit the same as you, or he could not do business. Certainly he should not be able to grow or buy at a less price than you can, but if he does, it is your fault, and you should take the necessary steps to be on an equal footing with him. At best the retailer has a .hard road to travel. Of course he has his com- pensations, but he also has a few troubles, one of which is the lack of appreciation on the part of the grower. When all is said and done, the disposal of ninety per cent of the flower supply depends on the retailer. THE BRIDE AT THE ALTAE. [GleanlDg of an Interview with Charles Henry Fox.] The serious expression of the young girl about to make the most solemn of vows is in keeping with the moment just before the marriage ceremony. Her bride's bouquet of lilies of the valley and white orchids, which gives the faint- est touch of pale pink, is of the style known as the arm shower bunch. It is carried in the left hand and is so ar- ranged that the right is free. The idea of combining grace and beauty is fur- ther carried out by moderation in the length of the shower, a feature that has sometimes been carried to excess. While white is the best color to use in brides' bunches, the faint pink of the orchid is in good taste. The green used is maidenhair fern. Phil. VINCA MINOR. I am sending under separate cover some specimens of a plant which I think is Vinca minor. Will you please tell me if it is? I have a fine lot of it and want to advertise it, if there is any sale for it. C. M. W. The plant forwarded is Vinca minor, for which you should find a good sale. For use on graves, for covering bare banks and for naturalizing in wood- lands, this is one of the most valuable evergreen plants we have. C. W.

The Up-to-Date Salesman. ^'(■ars ago all that was required of liii- llorist was the making of a bou- |ii('t, ])utting a few ilowers into a -('(HJiid-hand shoe box, making a few -o called designs for funeral purposes, iiid occasionally sonu'thing more pre- tentious than a boiiqiiet for a large lianquet.

Xot only must the llorist • lo this, but he should make the expense so reasonable that the customer will not be afraid to looic at a florist's window afterw.-ird. There is more money in selling a man i") worth of goods a hundred times llian in selling him .*10(1 wortii once. Ihe florist often linds it ditticult to Iraw the line Ictween what he would like to gi\'e the customer and what he wants and should have, and often the aildition of a few dollars to the expense would act as tin: straw that broke the ■ amel's bael^. AVhilo the customer would pay it. and really get his money's worth, he would still feel that ho was compelled to umlergo an expense that under the circumstances was entindy uncalled for.

This is also true when you give a purchaser a ]>rice and he tells you he can get the same thing elsewhere for less money. Take no notice of it. The other ftd- low must make a profit the same as yon, or he could not do business. Certainly ho should not be able to grow or buy at a less price than you can, but if he does, it is your fault, and you should take the necessary steps to be on an equal footing with him. At best the retailer has a hard road to travel. Of course he has his com- pensatimis, but he also has a few troubles, one ot' which is the lack of appreciation en the part of the growr. When all is said and done, the disposal of ninety per cent of the flower sujiply diq>etids on the retailer. known as the arm shower bunch. It is carried in the left hand and is so ar- ranged that the right is free. The idea of combining grace and beauty is fur- ther carried out by moderation in the length of the shower, a feature that has sometimes l;een carried to excess. While white is the liest color to use in britles' bunches, the faint pink of the orchid is in good taste. The green iis(m1 is maidenhair fern. IMiil.

'<»^.'^^/'yf»^'k>)'-y^'fef#^'4^ I SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS Erica Melanthera. This is the best of all the ericas for the average florist. As Christmas plants, these heaths sell well. In order to have them in good flower at that time, a batch should be moved into a slightly warmer house; 45 to 50 degrees at night should not be exceeded, or the plants will be spoiled. None of the ericas will tolerate anything in the na- ture of forcing. Ericas hyemalis and gracilis will naturally flower for Christ- nias in a cool house. Pretty as they are, they do not, however, grow and bloom with the freedom of E. melan- thera. Azaleas and Camellias. Azaleas and camellias, when received, should be unpacked without delay. Often the balls become badly dried in transit, and it is a safe plan to soak all in tubs of water thoroughly. As time will not often permit of their being potted up right away, stand them close together on the floor of a cellar, a shed or in coldframes — anywhere just clear of freezing. A spraying occa- sionally will help to refresh them, and give them plenty of fresh air. Camellias for Christmas trade can be started in a temperature of 48 to 50 degrees; any- thing warmer will cause a loss of buds. Azaleas will stand harder forcing, and some of the early varieties, such as Hexe (Firefly) and Deutsche Perle, may even be had in fairly good flower for Thanksgiving. Keep all frequently sprayed. Any carried-over azaleas, which were planted in the field and re- cently potted, will flower earliest, and usually more freely than the Belgian stock. Dimorphotheca Aurantiaca. Dimorphotheca aurantiaca, the beau tiful South African annual, appeared to a limited extent in the markets last winter and spring. It has a neat branching habit. The rich, orange-gold colored flowers capture the public fancy at once, their bright coloring being rendered the more striking by the dark disk surrounded by a black zone. The seed germinates quickly, and the plant will flower earlier than almost any other annual. If sown now, flowers can be picked from the third week in January onwards. A temperature of 48 to 50 degrees suits it, and the seed can be sown thinly in shallow benches, or started in small pots and transplanted. The former plan answers well. Cus- tomers looking for something out of the beaten track wiW be glad to buy this flower, which lasts remarkably well after being cut. Pentstemons. Cuttings of pentstemons produce plants which bloom earlier and more persistently than seedlings. Cuttings will winter in any frame or pit where frost and dampness are excluded. The latter is more destructive than a little freezing. Select plants which have the best colors, and mark any specially good ones. These plants are unimpor- tant here, as compared with Europe. They do wonderfully well near the sea- board, and there may be possibilities in them if grown under glass for spring flowering. Some wide-awake florist might do worse than experiment with them. A few years ago no one thought of antirrhinums, larkspurs, lupines and other annuals as suitable for bench cul- ture. Now they are grown more every year, and there are other annuals now little thought of which will in the fu- ture become popular indoor subjects. Schizanthus Wisetonensis. The earliest batch of Schizanthus Wisetonensis is now in 6-inch pots and is being grown in a cool house. The plants have had several pinchings, but will now be allowed to run up and flower for Christmas. This makes a splendid Easter plant. It has been popularly dubbed the "poor man's orchid," and its culture is so simple that anyone of ordinary intelligence can manage it. Cool, airy treatment at all stages of its growth is what schizan- thus requires. Seed sown now will prove serviceable in early spring, either for growing on in pots or selling in a cut state. Schizanthus keeps a week after being cut, and makes a beautiful vase or table centerpiece. Sow the seed in pans or flats and transplant when large enough to handle, potting them off singly later. Use light leaf moldy soil in the early stages, later making it heavier and richer. A LEAVENWOETH STORE. The Sunnyside Floral Co., of Leaven worth, Kan., was organized in 1908 and erected a range of greenhouses at Twelfth and Vilas streets. At first only a wholesale business was done, but in September, 1909, the firm opened a re- tail store, the interior of which is shown in the illustration. A few weeks later — October 31 — the opening of the store was celebrated in formal fashion, by issuing announcements, entertaining the visitors with the music of an orchestra and presenting flowers as souvenirs. The store is located at the corner of Fifth and Shawnee streets. It is a com- modious room, affording good opportuni- ties for the display of the large and varied stock which is there handled. The company expresses great satisfaction with the rapid development of the busi- ness in both wholesale and retail de- partments. CINDEB COVEBINQ FOB BUIjBS.

Its Increasing Importance. There are a great many florists who ileal directly with the public who have uot yet taken advantage of the pos- ijiibilities of doing profitable business with the fall planting of bulb beds — they haven't awakened to the really wonderful growth of this branch of bed- ding in recent years. The better class of customers now plant their beds of bulbs just as regularly as they have them filled with geraniums, etc., for summer, and the average householder, even tenant, plants a few bulbs at least jilong the border in front of the porch. Where the sale for bulbs for forcing has shown no great increase the last few years, the sale of the popular bed- ding varieties for fall planting has in- creased at a truly wonderful rate. Many Horists share in the business, but more could do so if they would seek the or- ilers; it can be worked up with rather less effort than any other part of the business of the man whose specialty is spring bedding. Time and Place to Plant. From the latter part of October until the end of November is the best period in which to plant tulips, hyacinths, nar- cissi, crocuses and other hardy Dutch bulbs. The early date answers well in the colder states, but a later date is better farther south. Even in northern iVew England bulb planting can be done iu December, but it is not advisable to wait so late, as the roots lose consider- able vitality by being kept so long out Lif the soil. Practically all bulbs like well drained soil, a possible exception being Nar- cissus poeticus, which thrives better in moist ground, such as on the edge of ponds and streams, or even on low, marshy land. Any beds with twelve to eighteen inches depth of good soil will glow fine bulbs. It is not necessary to tlig out three feet deep, as is sometimes advised. Avoid fresh manure at all times, but use plenty if well decayed. If the soil is naturally heavy, add some "liarp sand or fine ashes. There is a tendency to cover bulbs insufficiently. For hyacinths four inches is better than two. For such large-bulbed narcissi as Emperor, Vic- toria and Sir Watkin, five inches is none too much. Smaller ones can be covered three to four inches. Tulips are better covered four to five inches. They are then less affected by dry weather, which frequently arrives soon after the ground has thawed out. Cro- t^uses, scillas, chionodoxa and other Somali bulbs, if covered two and one-half to three inches, will be all right. The more shallow bulbs are planted, the greater the likelihood of their being lifted out or loosened by late freezings and thawings, especially if the winter mulch has been permanently removed. Some Good Tulips. Tulips remain far the most popular of hardy spring flowering bulbs for bed- ding. There is such an immense color range in them that almost any desirable shade is obtainable. It is pleasing to see that the call for soft and delicate combinations and harmonious blendings is fast displacing the haphazard plant- ing of loud masses of color, which are neither pleasing nor satisfying. A se- lection of the best early tulips, which comprises the sorts which have been proved and tested, is as follows: Pure white — Joost von Vondol, Pot- tebakker, "White Swan, Queen Victoria (La Keine). Yellow — Chrysolora, Mon Tresor, Ophir d'Or. Pink — Cottage Maid, Pink Beauty, Queen of the Netherlands. Orange — Prince of Austria, Thomas Moore. Eose — Proserpine, Eose Luisante. Eed and scarlet — Eembrandt, Vermil- ion Brilliant, Sir Thomas Lipton, Maes. Crimson — Couleur Cardinal, Dussart. Eed and yellow — Keizerskroon. Eed and white — Joost von Vondel. While a mixed bed of tulips makes a beautiful show, especially if purple shades are omitted, it is in beds of one solid color that they are far the most effective. The following are fine for this purpose: Joost Von Vondel, white; White Pottebakker, Pink Beauty, Cou- leur Cardinal, Keizerskroon, Proserpine, Chrysolora, Cottage Maid, Thomas Moore and Vermilion Brilliant. Joost von Vondel is the finest white tulip, but costs somewhat more than others of the same color. It is somewhat dwarfer than White Pottebakker, which immediately follows. White Swan is the latest of the early tulips, but a fine variety. Pink Beauty and Queen of the Netherlands are much cheaper than they were, but still somewhat high priced; both are superb sorts. The first named is used in thousands in the Bos- ton Public Gardens, where it is always greatly admired. Combination of Varieties. Some people prefer beds or borders planted in lines, circles or blocks of dif- ferent colors. High colors, like the reds, crimsons and red and yellows, should always be kept for distant ef- fects. Their shades are too intense at close range. Purple and maroon shades, if used at all, should be with golden yellows. Circular beds look well, if quartered, and two varieties only used. Sir Thomas Lipton associated with white Joost von Vondel is fine; so are the white and scarlet Pottebakkers. If distinct colors are wanted in the four quarters, try Chrysolora, Cottage Maid, white Joost von Vondel and Belle Alli- ance. A good effect may also be had by planting a circle in the center with, say, Chrysolora or White Pottebakker and having a broad band of Sir Thomas Lipton or Maes around it. If the same bed is divided for three colors, try Chrysolora in the center, then a band Bulb Bedding is Having: a Great Increase in Favor. 12 The Weekly Florists^ Review* OCTOBEB 27, 1910. Bed of the Late-flowering White Tulip White Swan. of Vermilion Brilliant and an edging of L'ImmacuIee or Queen Victoria. The width of the bands would depend en- tirely on the diameter of the bed. The following tulips, if bedded together, will make pleasing combinations: Yel- low Pottebakker and Thomas Moore; White Pottebakker and Chrysolora; Cottage Maid and Queen Victoria; Chrysolora and Dussart; Keizerskroon bordered with Queen Victoria; Couleur Cardinal and white Joost von Vondel; White Pottebakker, Ophir d 'Or and Vermilion Brilliant. Late Tulips. Coming to the late tulips, we have the finest section of all. The prices on the majority of these are lower than ever, and this should tempt more to plant them. These late varieties have much longer and stronger stems than the earlier, and are not yet appreciated at their true worth. Not only are they valuable for bedding, but for clumps or herbaceous borders, or in rows or beds for cutting they will be found valuable. In some seasons they prove useful as late as Memorial day in the colder states. A few varieties of much value are: Bouton d'Or, yellow; Ges- neriana major, scarlet; Gesneriana lu- tea, yellow; Isabella (Shandon Bells), rosy pink; Parisian Yellow, late yellow; Inglescombe Pink, salmon pink; Picotee, white, penciled cerise; Golden Crown, yellow, edged red; La Candeur, pure white; La Merveille, salmon rose, shad- ed orange; retroflexa, deep yellow; In- glescombe, scarlet; Mrs. Moon, canary yellow. The beautiful and stately Darwins should not be omitted. They are the strongest and most generally satisfac- tory of all tulips, and in beds of one color make glorious effects. A few fine varieties, which have proved to be reli- able, are: Margaret (Gretchen), blush rose; Mme. Krelage, rosy pink; Pride of Haarlem, salmon rose, shaded scar- let; King Harold, ruby crimson; White Queen, nearly pure white; Farncombe Sanders, rich crimson; Clara Butt, sal- mon pink; Loveliness, rosy carmine; Glow, rich vermilion; Kate Greenaway, white, tinged lavender; Gustave Dore, bright rose. One great point about the Dafwin and most of the other late tulips is that they do not run out in one sea- son. If planted in clumps or masses in borders and left undisturbed, they will be better the second and third than the first year, if given an annual top-dress- ing of rotted manure. Carpeting the Beds. Tulip beds look much better if car- peted in spring with some early flower- ing, low-growing plants, such as pan- sies, violas, daisies and forget-me-nots. Mixed colors should never be used and care must be taken not to have the colors of the bulbs and carpeting plants clash. Blue myosotis makes an excel- lent ground cover below white or yel- low, but it is otherwise with pink, scar- let or rose. In the case of the latter, white daisies, violas or pansies, or yellow violas will be in good taste. Nothing could look much worse than dark blue pansies below Couleur Car- dinal tulips, or red daisies under Keizers- kroon or Proserpine. Not only tulip beds, but those filled with hyacinths and narcissi are much improved by hav- ing the soil covered by some neat low- growing, flowering plants. Hyacinth Beds. Hyacinths are not as popular for bedding purposes as they once were, but great efforts are being made by the Hol- land grower to re-popularize them and beds closely planted have been made leading features at bulb expositions there in the last two seasons. * As a general rule, second sized bulbs are used for bedding and give satisfactory re- sults. A circular bed six feet in diam- eter will hold 110 to 120 bulbs and the singles are much to be preferred to the doubles. While mixtures of one shade of color make good beds, for the most ])Ieasing results named sorts must be used. A few reliable sorts are: White or slightly tinted, La Grandesse, Mme. Van der Hoop, Grandeur a Merveille, alba superbissima; red, Koi des Beiges. General Pelissier; rose and pink, Ger trude, Charles Dickens, gigantea; blue and lavender. Grand Maitre, Queen of the Blues, King of the Blues, Czar Peter. In planting hyacinth beds, blue and white, and pink and white make for harmony; blue and pink for discord. As with tulips, beds of a single named variety are the most telling and pleas ing. Mixed beds are far from satis factory, the colors clashing badly. Beds of Narcissi. Narcissi are not as much seen in beds as their beauty and merits warrant, but it is pleasing to see the big advance they are making in popular favor. Naturalized, they are at their best, but a number of varieties are so inexpen- sive and excellent for bedding and withal so graceful that the wonder is they are not more used in this way. No matter how narcissi are mixed, their colors do not clash, all being white or of varying shades of yellow, some hav ing cups margined with scarlet. Unlike Narcissus J. B. M. Camm. October 27, 1010. The Weekly Florists' Review* 13 Tulip Chrysolora, Golden Yellow. hyacinths and tlic majority of the tulips, the narcissi improve from year to year, possible exceptions being the large golden trumpet varieties, which do not wear so well as the bicolor and short trumpet sections. Of the large golden trumpets, PJmperor, Golden Spur and Henry Irving are the best. Glory of Leiden is the queen of all, but is still rather high priced. Single Von Sion and Trumpet Major should not be used; they are not very hardy. Of the bi- color trumpets, Victoria is a leader. Empress is better than Horsfieldii. Grandee maximum blooms a trifle later than Empress, but is a fine sort. Prin- ccps is cheap, but too flimsy a flower. Of the medium trumpet varieties, Barri Conspicuus is one of the cheapest, but best. Narcissus incomparabilis Sir Watkin, the giant Welsh daffodil, with its big, bold flowers five inches across, is indispensable. Leedsii Mrs. Langtry, Leedsii Minnie Hume and incompara- bilis Cynosure are all inexpensive and good. Apart from formal beds, narcissi can be used to great advantage in shrubbery borders, in herbaceous borders, and for naturalizing in woodlands or grass lands. For naturalizing purposes, poeticus, poeticuB ornatus, Leedsii Mrs. Langtry, Burbidgei Vanessa, Johnstoni, Queen of Spain and incomparabilis Stella are a splendid seven. The poeticus varieties succeed in almost any location, but de- light in moist soil of good depth, in which they increase amazingly. In natu- ral planting, the bulbs should be thrown broadcast from the hand and planted where they fall. If in grass land, the grass should not be cut until the foliage has matured. If limited to two varie- ties for natural planting, a good selec- tion would be poeticus and Mrs. Lang- try. For clumps in borders, the varieties of Narcissus poetaz are fine. These are hybrids between N. polyanthus and N. poeticus ornatus, have proved perfectly hardy and increase rapidly. Elvira, Klondyke, Irene, Ideal and Aspasia are good and now quite cheap. In some cases crocuses, Scilla Sibirica and chionodoxa are planted among the stronger bulbs as a gr.oundwork. When these are used, hbwever, it is necessary to remove the mulch earlier than is desirable for the other bulbs. A much better plan is to use these and snow- drops in patches or bands in the borders, or for naturalizing purposes, and utilize daisies, myosotis, violas, aubrietias and similar plants for hiding mother earth from view. Bulbs are moderate in price this sea son and while sales for forcing purposes may not show any great increase, every year shows a big gain for outdoor plant ing. Some florists use bulbs quite free ly in front of their own homes or green- houses, and it is never money thrown away, but one of the best of advertise ments. Plant a nice bed in front of your own place and it will in all proba- bility bring a number of orders for similar beds for customers the following year. Try it and be convinced, as others already have been. TUBEROSES IN WINTER. Please tell us whether single Mexican tuberoses can be grown profitably under glass during the winter in solid beds, where they have bloomed all summer. If they will not do well, we will throw them out and put in some other crop. We live in the state of Texas. S. F. C. It will certainly not pay you to carry over the single tuberoses for another season. They require a considerable period of rest and cannot be success- fully and profitably forced early in the season. My advice would be to dig up the bulbs, heel them in closely to ripen — under a coldfranie sash would be a suitable place in your climate— and I)lant some other crop which will bo of some real benefit to you in winter, when flowers are scarce and high priced. V. \\\ INK FOR ZINC LABELS. Many florists and nurserymen may have difficulty in obtaining a satisfac- tory acid or ink for use in writing the inscriptions on the zinc labels attached to their stock. The following is the recipe for the indelible ink which I use for that purpose: Bichloride of plati num. fifteen grains; distilled or soft water, one ounce; iiydrochloric acid, five drops. Use a quill pen. This mixture must be used on labels of zinc only. The zinc should be clean and free from grease. The ink is yellow, but turns black in a few seconds after touching the zinc. Bichloride of platinum can be bought of any of the large dealers in chem icals. If the writing on the zinc appears in. time to grow dim, wet the labels and it will become clear again. Labels which have stood outdoors for five years in my garden are still plainly legible. Francis J. WooUey. Fotosa (Darwin) in Foreground, Picotee in Backeround. 14 The Weekly Florists^ Review. OCTOBEU 27, 1910. SPLIT CALYXES. I have some Winsor, Victory and White Perfection carnations which split when they are about half open. Please tell me the cause and what to do. They are fine, healthy plants. H. L. S. Splitting of the calyx is usually caused by uneven temperature, some varieties being more easily affected than others. During this unseasonable weather, with bright, warm days and cool nights, unless a little artificial heat is employed the extremes are apt to be a little more than the calyxes can stand. Look after your temperatures a little more closely and you will probably find the trouble disappearing in time. A. F. J. B. GRUBWOEMS IN BENCH SOIL. How can I destroy the grubworms in the soil in my carnation benches? When cutting off my carnations I watched and picked out as /fiany of the worms as I " " " ' ~ were in the soil when the house some time E. T. O. could find. T I brought it i ago. The most commonly used means for the destruction of grubworms in the soil is air-slaked lime. Sprinkle it on the soil and water it in. Use enough to cover the soil, but not too heavily, and scratch it in before you water. I would advise you to write to the Department of Agriculture at Washing- ton, D. C, and get the following bulle- tins: Farmers' Bulletin No. 145 and Bulletin No. 27, new series, revised edi- tion, by F. H. Crittenden. In these two bulletins you will find a lot of valuable information about grubs of many kinds and about other pests. A. F. J. B. THRIPS ON ENCHANTRESS. We are enclosing a partly opened bud of an Enchantress carnation, which is affected with some kind of disease that we are unable to identify. The plants were benched in the latter part of June, from 21^ -inch pots, in fresh compost on the south bench of an east-and-west liouse, with continuous ventilation on the south side of the ridge. We have had exceptionally warm weather for the last three or four weeks, the temper- ature ranging from 70 to 90 degrees. We were troubled considerably by this disease last season throughout the house. Ft seemed to spread more rapidly as warm weather came on. We carry a night temperature of 55 to 58 degrees. This is the first appearance of the dis- ease this season, and we should like to know what we can do to prevent its spreading. W.F. C. The trouble of which you complain is not a disease, but a pest. Your plants are infested with thrips. These columns have frequently contained directions for destroying these insects, and you can find aJl the information you need by looking through your back numbers. For instance, see the issue of April 21, page 12. Tobacco, or rather nicotine, applied in the most available form, is all you need to clean them out. A. F. J. B. A CHECK IN GROWTH. I never had a finer lot of carnation plants at benching timie than I had the first week of August. To all appear- ances they were all right. About the time the buds began to come, however, they seemed to be badly affected by rust. The buds came on short stems. Often the main bud turned brown and dried up, but the laterals came all right, except in size. The blooms had a sleepy look. The Enchantress were the worst, the others being only slightly affected. My soil was mixed as usual, and the conditions, as far as I could see, were the same as in former years, with the exception that the weather was un- usually hot. The house was well ven- tilated and the plants were sprayed from three to four times per week in bright weather. The soil was moderately wet, but by no means all the time. There is no red spider or thrips that I can see. There is a water pressure of 100 pounds. The flowers have been of good size and are now coming on long stems. As this is my first experience of the kind, I am puzzled. What seems to be the matter, and what is the remedy? W. C. S. Judging from your description of the behavior of your plants, I am inclined to think that about the only thing the matter with them was a severe check at planting time. The extreme heat might be to blame for that. Cooler weather will likely improve that sleepy appear- ance you complain of. A. F. J. B. MUSHROOMS OR TOADSTOOLS? Last season I continually had trouble with toadstools, or something resem- bling toadstools, which grew in the soil on some of my benches, among my car- nations. They were white, or sometimes brownish white, and some were very large. They seemed to appear suddenly during the night. I kept pulling them out, but they continued to come. Now they have again started. Please tell me what causes these, how they may be checked and what harm they can do. They have a peculiar and rather offen- sive odor. I am anxious to get rid of them before firing begins in earnest. E. H. The toadstools you complain of are one of the varieties of fungi to which belong the many edible sorts of mush- rooms. Perhaps it is the common Agari- cus campestris and, if it is, you are for- tunate rather than otherwise. Many growers plant the spawn of this mush- room between their carnations in a lim- ited way, and thereby get what is con- sidered a dainty dish for the home table. Before you use any of them, however, I would advise you to consult someone who is versed in mushrooms, to make sure that it is not one of the poisonous varieties. One way of identifying the edible kind, it is said, is by peeling them. Ac- cording to this theory, a toadstool never peels, but breaks. Take hold of the upper skin at the edge and draw upward and toward the center. If the skin will strip off readily, it is supposed to be the edible kind. The spawn of these fungi are usually introduced into the soil in the manure which is added to the compost. You will find it difficult to destroy the spawn in the soil, and that would be the only means of getting rid of them. A heavy coat of lime might help. They do the plants no harm that I have ever dis- covered, unless they lift them out of the soil. A. F. J. B. LEAF-MINER ON MUMS. We are sending you some chrysanthe- mum leaves which are eaten by some sort of worm, apparently inside the leaves. Please tell us where they come from and what is the best way of get- ting rid of them. Our chrysanthemums were in fine condition and the foliage was perfect until ten days ago; now about one-quarter of the foliage is de- stroyed. E. H. & S. The trouble is caused by Tephritis onopordinis, commonly known as the celery fly or leaf -miner. The fly lays an egg in the chrysanthemum leaf, be- tween the outer and inner skin of the leaf, and when the larya begins to eat it simply eats out the chlorophyl, leav- ing merely the two skins on the leaf to protect itself. No tobacco solution is strong enough to kill this pest. Poisons are equally useless, since it sucks only the inside of the leaf. The only remedy I know of is to pick off all leaves that would not be particularly missed and then squeeze the worms, which can be seen working in the leaf, and destroy them that way. Chas. H. Totty. KATYDIDS ON MUMS. Enclosed you will find a bug that we found crawling among the leaves of our chrysanthemums. It is one of several that we have found this summer, and, as it is a new bug to us, we have killed all we have found. It has just occurred OCTOBEB 27, 1010. The Weekly Florists' Review* 15 to us that we may be killing friends instead of enemies, so we send it to you for information. We cut the head oflf so that it would not suffer in transit, but you will find the head wrapped in paper with the body L. M. S. The insect in question is nothing else but our old friend the katydid. Whether the katydid does any harm to chry- santhemums, is a question that I cannot answer definitely, but I will say that in my experience I have never found that it has, 60 I do not think that L. M. S. need worry over this forerunner of the fall season. Chas. H. Totty. A SPOET OF TOUSET. Please let me know whether a pure yellow sport of the Mme. C. Touset chrysanthemum has ever been intro- duced to the trade. H. E. So far as I am aware, no yellow sport of Mme. C. Touset has yet been intro- duced to the trade. If H. E. believes he has a sport' of that kind in his pos- session, he should be careful to see that it is a true sport and not something else mixed in with his stock. The fo- liage should be identical with that of the parent in order to guarantee its being right. Chas. H. Totty. LEAF-SPOT ON MUMS. Enclosed you will find some diseased leaves of mums. Please tell us the name of the disease, the cause and the rem- edy. They are grown in pots, in good, rich clay loam, with a little sand and bonemeal. The benches are covered with coal ashes, mixed with a small proportion of wood ashes. The house has been rather damp until lately, when we have had steam at night. The weath- er has been varied, but rather warm for this time of year. The dis- ease showed first on Golden Glow, and the other early kinds are now nearly all affected more or less. J. F. W. The leaves, on arrival, were badly wilted, but, so far as I could see, they were affected by leaf-spot. The leaf- spot is nearly always present in the chrysanthemum, and when, as frequent- ly happens in the fall, the foliage gets crowded by the excessive growth, the spot will almost invariably start on the ■plants. It is a fungoid disease and spreads from leaf to leaf where condi- tions are favorable for its development. The best remedy I know of is sulphide of potassium, used in the proportion of one ounce to two gallons of water and sprayed directly on the under side of the leaves. This, as a general rule, provided the houses are run dry, great- ly reduces the seriousness of the trou- ble. Chas. H. Totty. INSECTS ON MUMS. We are having trouble with our mums. On the under side of the leaves there are lots of small green worms which are invisible to the naked eye, but are eating the under surface and the edges. There is, or was, a large worm on the inside which forms like a sack, and the spot has a watery brown appearance and is about the size of a nickel. The leaf is much drawn up and has all the appearance of red spider. The under side has a reddish appearance, as Chrysanthemum Unaka. if scalded. The outside is curved down and is marked with a few grayish specks, such as are made by the spider. I find also that a number of plants have a fine network of web, but can see only a few of what I think are small red spiders, and some black ones. Will this spider, if it is red spider, do much harm? Will it be especially harmful when the mums come into bloom? How can I best get rid of these two pests? K F. C. K. F. C. seems to have a variety of insects that are causing trouble on his chrysanthemums. The large worm de- scribed as on the inside of the leaf is apparently the same as that which at- tacks celery, Tephritis onopordinis. This worm eats out all the center of the leaf, leaving merely the outside skin. It is almost impossible to get rid of it, ex- cept by hand picking, because any solu- tion that is strong enough to pierce the skin and reach the worm is strong enough to cause serious injury to the foliage. The leaves having a fine network of web are undoubtedly covered with spider. I do not know how close the relationship is between the spider and thrips, but there is a tiny black insect and also a dirty white one, which are sometimes called spider and sometimes thrips, and both of them work in the same way as the red spider. If these are bad on the plants. K. F. C. will get but few flowers this fall that will be perfectly finished. When syringing is discontinued, these insects multiply rapidly, and the web extends up from the leaves to the outside petals. The various forms of tobacco do not seem to be of much avail against these insects. If K. F. C. is still able to do it, there is nothing better than vigorous spraying from the hose, with a fine nozzle at- tached to the end like a Stott nozzle, and washing every leaf thoroughly on the under side. Chas. H. Totty. SMITH'S NEW MUMS. The firm of Elmer D. Smith & Co., at Adrian, Mich., can be counted on for a set of new chrysanthemums as regu- larly as the autumn comes around, and the growers who have profited through their introduction of Golden Glow will be interested that this year Smith & Co. have both an early white and an early pink. Smith's Advance, the white, was illustrated in The Review of September 8, and an illustration herewith shows Unaka, the October pink. Buds taken between August 1 and 15 not only give fully developed blooms in sixty days, but are said by the originator to be superior to earlier or later buds when color and fullness are considered. It is a broad petaled Japanese incurved variety, of large size and much depth for so early a sort. Mr. Smith describes the color as inter- mediate between Rosiere and William Duckham. It is a seedling from Octo- ber Frost, which is an easy doer under all sorts of growing conditions. From early May benching the plants attain a height of four feet. When exhibited before the Chrysanthemum Society's committee on seedlings at Cincinnati, October 8, it was scored ninety points. The Smith concern appears to be working toward earliness on its new mums, for Chrysolora, another of its present season's offerings, is described as an early Col. Appleton — fifteen days early. The color is between Appleton and Bonnaffon, and Mr. Smith considers this variety one of his greatest achieve- ments. When exhibited at New York October 15 it scored ninety three points, and on the same date made ninety-four points at Cincinnati. ■? 13 The Weekly Florists^ Review. October 27, 1910. JACKSONVILLE, FLA. The great range of greenhouses in course of construction for the Sunny- brook Distillery Co., for cucumber grow- ing, collapsed under the pressure of the big wind October 18, entailing a loss running into many thousands of dollars. The plans of the distillery concern contemplated covering nearly two acres with glass. E. L. Chamberlain, a north- ern vegetable grower of experience, was placed in charge of the enterprise, and about two-thirds of the range was ap- proaching completion. Some estimates of the loss are as high as $35,000. INDIANA FLOBISTS MEET. The Northern Indiana Florists' Asso- ciation held a quarterly meeting at South Bend October 19, assembling for dinner as the guests of the South Bend florists. After the repast the visitors were taken on a tour of inspection of the stores and greenhouses. The busi- ness session was at the store of Willis Kinyon and routine was quickly dis- patched. A discussion on the poinsettia was led by S. Humfeld, of Muncie, and one on the cyclamen by Harry White, of North Manchester. The important feature of the meeting was the proposal to establish a buying agency to handle on a cooperative basis all purchases of supplies, such as boxes, pots and fertilizers, for the association 's thirty-three members in eighteen cities in the northern part of the §tate. The idea is that by buying in quantity, bet- ter prices can be secured in individual purchases. There were quite a number of ex- hibits. The Wagoner Floral Co., Co- lumbia City, showed Dorothy Gordon, Enchantress and Columbia carnations; the Muncie Floral Co., Muncie, Kaiserin roses with 3-foot stems, grown from plants 10 years old in solid beds, Golden Gate roses and Touset chrysanthemums; the Johnson Floral Co., Kendallville, White Perfection, a purple seedling car- nation, and dahlias; Harry White, North Manchester, Victory, White En- chantress, White Perfection, Harlowar- den, Lawson and Eose-pink Enchantress carnations; Willis Kinyon, South Bend, Eichmond roses; W. W. Dederick, War- saw, tuberous begonias; Mr. Trayer, Elkhart, Enchantress and White En- chantress carnations and Polly Eose chrysanthemums; C. C. Arnold, North Judson, bulbs of Gladiolus America, measuring up to two and three-quarters inches in diameter; Ten Eyck & Son, Auburn, photograph of a seedling gladi- olus unnamed; South Bend Floral Co., Touset chrysanthemums. The next meeting will be held at North Manchester on the third Wednes- day in January, at which time it is ex- pected the committee on cooperative buying will be prepared with a report. A Visitor's Coimneut. The meeting of the Northern Indiana Florists' Society at South Bend October 19 was an enjoyable as well as profit- able occasion. Willis Kinyon, as host, proved himself master of the situation. After dinner we visited the stores and greenhouses. The Beyer Floral Co. cer- tainly has an up-to-date store; it would be a credit to a much larger city. Judg- ing from the floor space and the stock carried a splendid business is being done. The second floor is devoted to birds, goldfish, jardinieres, fern dishes, etc. A carload of fish globes with other supplies displayed make it possible to please the most exacting customers. The greenhouses of Willis Kinyon and the South Bend Floral Co. were visited and all stock found in fine condition. The meeting was full of interest. Harry White gave us a talk on cycla- mens and Simon Humfeld one on poin- settias. Many suggestions for the good of the society were made. The estab- lishing of a purchasing agency for pool- ing all orders for pots, cut flower boxes, supplies, etc., met with great favor and probably will be perfected at our next meeting. S. H. PITTSBUEO. The Market. The last week was a bad one for the trade in general, both wholesalers and retailers finding much cause for com- plaint. The continued warm weather kept the market glutted with stock of all kinds; the late chrysanthemums were coming in on top of the early ones, dahlias and cosmos were at their best and roses and carnations were in such quantity that only the best of them found sale. And still there is no frost in sight. Various Notes. Eandolph & McClements report enough decorations to keep their force busy, although there is nothing large on hand at present. H. C. Frick and H. J. Heinz had their chrysanthemum shows ready for Sunday, October 23, and threw their conservatories open to the public. That this was appreciated was evidenced by a continual stream of visitors. The Schenley park show will open Sunday, October 30. The prospects are good for a fine show. Superintendent George Burke allowed a couple of bouses to be open on Sunday, but kept the balance closed to the public until he would have his show arranged. The Phipps Conservatory, in the North Side park, was open to visitors Sunday, and the show was well at- tended. The chrysanthemums there are looking fine. Joseph M. Jones, who opened a sales- room on Liberty street for the sale of trees, shrubbery and hardy herbaceous plants, has met with success so far. W. J. Smith is still cutting large quantities of gladioli and tritomas from his Canfield, O., place. He says it looks like gladioli for Thanksgiving, and per- sonally he is "between the devil and the deep sea"; when he is in Canfield he prays for continued good weather; when he is at the store he prays for frost. Frank Faulk, of Faulk Bros., is get- ting so much pleasure out of his auto- mobile that he is going to pass up his annual hunting trip this fall. C. Goodwin & Sons are sending in their usual mum cut and the stock is up to the usual Goodwin standard. Hoo-Hoo. MILWAUKEE. The Market. In a way the florists have had quite a time of it since the first of the year. Tliis spiing they longed for warm weather; during summer they prayed for rain, and now they are doing both for frost. While we all enjoy seeing vegetation in full bloom, still it would be better for all concerned if all out door flowers were a thing of the past. The extremely warm weather the first half of last week brought in an ava lanche of stock of all kinds; much morr than could be disposed of at profitable prices. There are more than enough ol fine dahlias coming in daily, but they, too, suffer with all the rest. Various Notes. Fred Schmeling is cutting Lawson carnations from stock left in the field which is ahead of any grown under glass. Nic Zweifel, of North Milwaukee, is cutting White Perfection carnations with exceptionally long stems. They were grown under glass all summer. Fred Holton and Nic Zweifel com bined pleasure with business and took a run up to Sheboygan, Wis., last week. There, at James Matthews' place, they found large quantities of cosmos, snap- dragon and the like in its prime. Benke Bros., of Watertown, Wis., who up to this season grew vegetables, have gone into the flower business by plant- ing two houses to violets. George Benke was a caller last week. The executive committee of the com- ing mammoth flower show reports every- thing progressing most satisfactorily. Premium lists can be had for the asking by addressing H. V. Hunkel, 462 Mil- waukee street, Milwaukee. E. O. EVANSVILLE, IND. The Market. The weather was warm till a few days ago, so business was not brisk, but, now that cooler weather is here, we can look for better conditions. On the morning of October 23 our first frost came. It will not be long, therefore, till the outdoor flowers will be gone; then business will increase. Eoses and carnations are plentiful. Mums are coming in faster and some are quite good. Various Notes. Ben Kramer is receiving some good mums from Otto Kuebler, of Newburg,. Ind. Business has been fine with him. Julius Niednagel & Sons had the deco- rations for the wedding of a prominent couple last week. It was a swell affair,^ requiring some artistic work, and con- siderable stock was used. Business with this firm has been good. The William Blackman Floral Co. is cutting considerable stock of all kinds, for which a ready sale is found. Karl Zeidler says business is extra good some weeks and then there is a sudden falling off. He has been cutting some good outdoor roses. He left last Monday for a week's fishing on the Wabash river, with a party of friends. A little later he will make his annual trip down into the wilds of Mississippi. Eoyston & Fenton say that business is rather slow at present, and will be till mums are gone. Their roses are in crop now, so they expect a good cut for Christmas. J. C. Elspermann has been cutting a good many roses and carnations. Frank M. Johnson, of the A. L. Ean- dall Co., Chicago, was a caller last week. He reports a good business. E. L. F. Urbana, 111.— E. S. Dodson has com- pleted a large addition to his green- houses, on East Main street. OCTOBBB 27, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 17 TT55TT ■ .-WHdl ^St. •. ^',' .

Southwick, Mass.— Edward Qillett, who in 1878 established his gardens here for the growing of hardy outdoor plants, has increased his stock and im- proved its quality until now. it is said, there are few of the great botanical gardens that have not procured speci- mens from his fields. One of his special- ties is ferns, of which he has fifty-three different kinds, which he cultivates un- der the most approved conditions of soil and shade, but he also grows peo- nies, some of the hardiest roses and a large assortment of perennials, besides shrubs and trees. He has a greenhouse for the starting of his more delicate stock. One of the interesting features of his place is the bog garden, where he grows plants for the beaut iflcation of swampy ground. He is now assisted in his work by his son, Kenneth Gillett, a graduate of the Massachusetts Agri- cultural College. 18 The Weekly Florists^ Review. October 27, 1910. THE FLORISTS' REVffiW G. L.

About all the big cut flower markets of the country have been overloaded with stock during the warm Indian summer weather. The bad check still is cashable, it seems, in many flower stores. The only sound rule is to decline to cash checks for strangers. The exhibit of the Washington Flo- rists' Club is one of the features of the Householders' show now in progress at the national capital. "Price competition," says a close ob- server, " is a squabble for the one ripe apple that has dropped to the ground. Quality competition, however, climbs into the tree. ' ' Those 500 dollar premiums at St. Louis will be worth watching. About how many carnations should one stage in a class where the one prize is $500 cash? It is for the exhibitor to determine; ac- cessories are not permissible. There will be more really big flower shows this season than in any previous year and it is interesting to note that in most cases they are managed by commer- cial men, with dependence for success placed on commercial growers. The complete list of premiums has been issued for the flower show to be held in Minneapolis November 9 to 13 by the Minnesota State Florists' A-ssociation. Copies may be had by addressing J. P. Jorgensen, secretary, 3501 Portland ave- nue, Minneapolis. OBITUAEY. William Unser. William Unser, a florist of Green- spring, O., died suddenly Monday even- ing, October 17. The funeral was held on the following Wednesday, and among those who attended were several rela- tives from Tiffin, O. Joseph M. Ahearn. Joseph M. Ahearn, who had been gar- dener for Henry Clews on his estate. The Eocks, at Newport, E. I., for sev- eral years, died suddenly at his home in that city, in the thirty-first year of his age. He was a member of the New- port Horticultural Society. He was fol- lowing l^is usual duties up to within a few hours preceding his death, which followed an acute attack of indigestion. He leaves a widow and three small children. Henry F. Scott. Henry F. Scott, one of the oldest resi- dents of the city of Pawtucket, E. I., died October 12, at the home of his daughter in that city, at the age of 82 years. He was retired, but for many years was engaged in market gardening and later operated a range of green- houses for carnations and violets. He is survived by a son and daughter. AN ADVERTISER'S VIEW.

Not one word is to be said in favor of last week. The spirit of those upon whom responsibilities sit lightly was crushed by the fact that our pitchers blew at the critical moment, while those whose motto is "Business first' were depressed by the impossibility of doing anything at all satisfactory with the enormous receipts of flowers. It is quite certain that chrysanthemums never before have sold so cheaply in this market. Practically all stock was in oversupply, but all the blame was laid to the door of the autumn flower, receipts of other stock not having in creased in proportion. But with gladi oli, dahlias, cosmos and other outdoor stock still doing a part to overload the market, there were more flowers re- ceived than there was any possible use for at any prices. Some of the class of stores that handle quantity at a price bought by the wagon-load, but in many instances found they would have been as well off had they not gorged themselves, for they lost a considerable part of their purchases. Wholesalers admit having sold accumulated odd lots of mums for as little as $25 and even $20 per thousand, but of course good stock was not sold at any such prices, except when a few good flowers were put in to sweeten a job. The best blooms brought $3 a dozen in limited number, but it was such stock as would have commanded $4 to $5 in previous years. All other flowers felt the oppression of the mum glut. The best selection could command a fair price, but the culls sold at great sacrifice, if at all. Eoses fared rather better than carna- tions, but cosmos was worse than any- thing else. There is an unprecedented quantity of the latter, and a large part of it spoils. Violets were almost lost sight of in the crowd, though some are now fine. Valley held up, in demand and price better than almost any other item. Local demand, from the first-class stores, was light, possibly because the other kind were so busy, and shipping trade fell away to half its usual volume, showing that the condition is quite gen- eral, but at the opening of this week there was some improvement in the out- of-town business, and an upturn is looked for as soon as the weather gets down to normal. It is almost Noveni ber 1, and no frost yet. Wholesale Employees' Dance.

KILLARNEY PINK AND WHITE Here's another place where "seeing is believing."

Haugh, of Anderson, and E. T. Barnes, of Spencer, were callers last week. Mr. Barnes reports a most suc- i-essful year with his dahlias. The late tall has enabled him to make shipments up to date which run into several thou- i^and blooms daily. The Bertermann Bros.

Benson has resumed operations on the conservatory in the rear of his resi- dence, work on which has been tied up a number of times on account of un- avoidable delays. He expects to get it done in time for use this winter, Ed. Bankin has been cutting ° some good mums. He says he has entirely overhauled his heating plant and ex- pects no trouble in that line this winter. Ernest Rieman still has two more months on the jury. He says this jury work is not what it is cracked up to be. Sidney Smith, chairman of the enter- tainment committee, says he has a few surprises for the guests at the banquet. A. Wiegand & Sons report business good. This firm has had a large num- ber of decorations so far this year. The florists on the flower market are booming their business with an ad in the Indianapolis News. Ed. Larsen, with Baur & Smith, re- ceived an injury from a sprayer which he was pumping, and as a result was away from his work for a few days. Young & Smith have been shipping quantities of cattleyas. Their Brides, Maids and Killarneys are also arriving in good shape. Carl Sonnenschmidt has been selected as one of the judges for the flower show.

The market was strong last week as to quality and quantity, but there it ended. The retail trade throughout the city was apparently quite dull, as little stock was purchased, and the whole- salers were simply loaded down all the week with all kinds of seasonable stock of extra good quality, in spite of excep- tionally low prices. Of course, much of the stock had to be dumped to make room for the new consignments. Chrysanthemum blooms are now com- ing in increasing quantities each day^ and this has caused a bad slump %(' roses and carnations; the price realized for most of the stock was especially low the latter part of the week. Long, fancy Beauties suffered greatly for want of demand, and violets showed the effects of the warm weather; the quality is not as good as it should be at this time of the year. It is hoped that this week will bring better results, as a number of the re- tailers have advance orders for wed- dings and other social events. Various Notes. The Retail Florists' Association will hold its regular monthly meeting Mon- day evening, November 7. Secretary Fred C.

The Missouri Botanical Garden will again hold a fall chrysanthemum show at the garden this season. The show will open after the big flower show in the Coliseum is ended. J. F. Ammann and Henry Johann have now taken charge of the store in East St. Louis, 111., which they recently bought from Miss M. Schnell. C. Young & Sons Co. says that the fall bulb trade has been fully up to expectations. The plant business also has been good, with plenty of funeral work in the cut flower department. The St. Louis Horticultural Society is sending out the official programs for its show, which starts Tuesday, Novem- ber 8. The executive board held a meeting October 18, at which final ar- rangements were made. It is reported that there are now quite a few entries for the three $500 prizes, one each for roses, carnations and mums, and a big showing in these classes is expected. C. A. Kuehn has been receiving large consignments of fancy carnations, roses and early mums, but George Schriefer, of the cut flower department, says that even the best stock moved slowly. A. Jablonsky, of Olivette, and Wm. Winter, of Kirkwood, have been con- signing some extra good stock in roses and carnations to H. G. Berning, and expect to have a big crop all season. The Riessen Floral Co., on South Broadway, is just putting on the finish- ing touches in its interior decorations. Mrs. Buechel says trade was slow last week, but with cooler weather a good business season is looked for. Miss May Burns has taken a position with Miss M. S. Newman at Olive and Spring streets. Miss Newman 's win- dow displays are always attractive. The W. C. Smith Wholesale^ Floral Co. has now completed its improve- ments. J. F. Windt's show house on Bayard avenue is looking fine these days with blooming plants and fancy cut stock. The pretty window displays of Otto Sanders, Foster Floral Co., Eiessen Flo- ral Co. and A.

Sometimes it seems that there are twice as many cut flowers as need be, while on bright days one-third of the cut only should go to Kamchatka to make things as they should be. Things are not as they should be — little won- der, with such enormous supplies of everything. The mild weather has low- ered the quality of much stock and only fine flowers bring satisfactory prices. Chrysanthemums are in heavy supply. Yellow, when fine, sells best. Robert Halliday and Col. Appleton lead. In white, Beatrice May, Virginia Poehl- mann and Ivory are seen. In pink, Pacific Supreme is excellent when well colored. There are other sorts, but these will suffice as examples. Tint of Gold sells poorly. Dahlias are nice, despite the nipping Jack Frost is giving them. Beauties and really choice valley are shy. Orchids are plentiful, but gar- denias are not. The violet season has not opened in earnest yet. Choice white lilac has come a month earlier than usual. Ordinary grades of roses and carnations are abundant. Pompons are in, yellow and bronze, and a little mig- nonette. The suburban debutante teas broaden the chasm between value of select and ordinary stock. The one realizes good prices even in these times of overpro- duction; the other is cruelly hard to sell at any price. A Oood Investment. When the carnation growers learned that Henry M. Weiss had bought heav- ily of two novelties last spring, they shook their heads. Some said that was not the way to do; try a few and then you know. Others said that it was all right to buy heavily to dis- tribute stock, but not for cut flowers. A few, a very few, believed it an able stroke. Then came the unfortunate break in the steam pipe, which badly scalded some of the novelties planted on a bench nearby. They recovered splendidly; Mr. Weiss said they looked none the worse for the burn. They grew well and were benched — and nowf MUNS FOR ALL Good stock at popular prices.

Readers of The Eeview who watch the market price list may have noticed the following: "Carnations, the Wards, $4; select, $2 to $3; ordinary, $1 to $1.50. ' ' In plain English, that means that Henry M. Weiss & Sons are get- ting $4 a hundred for the carnations, Mrs. C. W. Ward, pink, and Alma Ward, white, today, when no other varieties are bringing that price. The market is badly overstocked with many flowers of ordinary varieties or of ordinary cul- ture, sold below market price, and some not sold at all. Despite this condition, blooms of both Alma Ward and Mrs. Ward are eagerly sought at fancy price ; the supply, though excellent, is unequal to the demand. This clearly shows the possibilities of the cut flower market. It is not pos- sible to get a price for only a few blooms, but it is possible to get a good price for a fine flower when there are enough blooms to make a market — that is, to enable the buyers to feel they can get this stock when they need it. Three Specialties. To give an extended account of a pleasant afternoon spent with Messrs. Eisele, Strohlein and E. H. Michel in the greenhouses and grounds of the Hfenry A, Dreer corporation at Eiverton would be an easy matter. Perhaps it would be more interesting to confine the impres- sions of that afternoon to three special- ties— cocos, kentias and variegated pine- apples. Eiverton is famous for the first and for the second, and it will be famous for the third. It is not many years since CocoB Wed- delliana was the standard center for the table fernery.

The first of these difficulties was the injury to the tap root that so often occurred when transplanting from the seed box to the pots. This was met by sowing seed in a cocos pot three fjtebes deep. Then there was the yellows that so often attacked stock that was poorly grown and even occasionally stock that appeared to be well grown. So prevalent was the yellows that a large plant of this variety of cocos was rarely seen in perfect condi- tion. A certain firmness of the right composition of soil, and skill in water- ing, to say nothing of temperature, went a long way toward overcoming this trouble, and then Mr. Eisele branched out and grew cocos in all sizes. I am told on excellent authority that nowhere else in the world can such a stock of Cocos Weddelliana be seen, in every size, of finest quality, in im- mense quantity. That briefly describes a view of the cocos range. I am glad to say that made-up cocos do not seem in favor. Glad, because it always seemed to me this graceful palm suffered, from an artistic standpoint, by crowding. The specimens are now as perfect in finish as those of any other variety of palm, possessing a grace that outrivals all other varieties. Kentias in both the leading varieties, both imported and domestic, have al- ways been a feature at Eiverton. The stock today is immense and, best of all, in magnificent condition. It is a pleas- ure to see the imported specimen ken- tias in decorative sizes go into their tubs without a blemish, as perfect as any grown from seedhood on the place; plants that can be depended on for im- mediate use, rivaling in durability under trying house and decorative con- ditions anything grown here. When a scarcity of kentias exists it is nearly always in the medium sizes, those most popular as house plants.

The general impression left by the kentias is that they are equal, if not superior, to anything seen in the market in former years. The appearance of the golden pine- apple as a commercial plant is surpris- ing. There have been specimen Ananas- sa sativa variegata in some florists' col- lections for many years past, though they were but few in number. These specimens sold at a high price with fruit on them, their rarity greater than rare diamonds. A change had been pre- dicted at Eiverton two years ago; today it has come, a stock of 1,500 or more beautifully colored variegated pineap- ples in perfect condition, in, I think, 6-inch pots, officered, as it were, by larger plants, some of them showing fruit. The color was theirs, the dura- bility was theirs, if the texture of foliage goes for anything. The only question remaining is the purchasing power of the dollar. I am assured on the best of authority that power has been greatly increased. The future, then, of this new aspirant for popular favor seems to depend on the supply. A grower who called one day asked where in the world all that stock was grown. "Why," Mr. Eisele smilingly replied, "the woods in our new place are full of them." "Is the adjoining property for sale?" the vis- itor asked. "I fear there -sare none there," was the sorrowful reply. Various Notes. B.

NEW YORK. The Market. Qrand Island, Neb. — John Ellsworth, president of the Ellsworth Qreenhouses, who added four houses in the autumn of last year, has lately been continuing the work of expansion by building some lettuce hou&es and iciitailing a new boiler. I cannot remember the wholesale mar- ket in New York experiencing a week of greater discouragement than it en- dured from October 17 to 23 this year. The long-continued drought, the summer temperature and lastly the pouring rain of Saturday, all combined to produce widespread demoralization. The ship- ments ^L chrysanthemums were enor- mous, a^n their domination of the mar- ket leaves little encouragement for the shippers of roses and carnations. Special Beauties were down to 10 cents on Sat- urday, and all the other roses were of- fered as low as $10 per thousand, in boxes. Carnations fell to the same fig- ure, and even in small quantities could be purchased at $1 per hundred. There seemed to be no demand at the close of the week. Retail stores that had stocked up for a prospective Saturday trade found business paralyzed by the storm. The wholesalers' ice-boxes were bulging at the week end and the cellars were filled with chrysanthemums, beau- tiful stock that was a bargain at $4 per dozen in other years selling for less than half that figure. So rapidly have the mums developed that some predict a shortage before Thanksgiving. It seems impossible that tho^ tremendous inflow can ba main- tained much longer. 32 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ OCTOBBB 27, 1910.

Mention'The Kpvipw when you write. The demand for orchids and garde- nias does not increase the value; if anything, the quotations are showing a lower range than that of a week ago. Lilies cannot advance while the mum supply continues, and good stock last week moved slowly at $3 to $4 per hundred. The quality of the violets is improv- ing, but still is far below the standard, while the increasing shipments have lowered the price to 30 cents per hun- dred for the best of them, the street securing ninety per cent of the stock at its own figures, the pavement mer- chants offering them at 10 cents per bunch. Growers may well pray for a freezing temperature. Various Notes. The flower shows this week include the Bed Bank exhibition on Wednesday and Thursday, the Glen Cove show on Thursday and Friday and the New Jer- sey Floricultural Society's exhibition at Orange, on Saturday. Lenox and Poughkeepsie have their exhibitions i^Iso this week, from Wednesday to Friday, so that visitors to all of them will have to keep moving night and day. Next week will be quite as inter- esting in the exhibition line, the Tarry- town show coming Tuesday to Thurs- day, with New Haven the same days, Dobb's Ferry on Friday and Saturday, with Mt. Kisco the same date with Sunday added. The big show, includ- ing the exhibit of the Chrysanthemum Society of America, at Morristown, is November 2 to 4. The following week the exhibitions will close the season at Long Branch, Yonkers and in New York city, at the American Institute, and the Museum of Natural History.

Chrysanthemums are now at their flood tide and are likely to remain so for at least a fortnight longer. With the warm weather experienced during the last week, arrivals steadily in- creased and proved more than the mar- ket could dispose of. As a consequence, prices slumped considerably. Chrysan- themums dominate everything and seem piore abundant than in any previous year. Few of even the best flowers bring over $1.50 to $2 per dozen, the lower grades selling as low as $2 per hundred. Carnations are plentiful and have taken a decided slump in price. Many were sold October 22 at $5 per thousand, and not a few lower. As yet stems are not long. Such growers as have good stems make better prices. Roses are suffering with the rest and the only free selling sort is Mrs. Aaron Ward, which seems to have caught the popular favor. Richmond is something of a glut and hard to move. For White Killarney there has been a fair sale. They are as yet less plentiful than the pink variety. Violets want colder weather to improve their quality, which leaves much to be desired. They are only selling moderately well. Lilies are not overabundant, but lily of the valley is more plentiful. Outdoor flowers are over for the season. Some candytuft and cosmos are seen, but not of good quality. Some indoor grown cosmos car- ries fine flowers. " Orchids are coming into their own and are seen in almost every window. Gardenias are still of good quality. Quite a few white and yellow margue- rites are now arriving and the first jnignonette of the season. One or two growers expect to have Paper White parcissi this week. With somewhat cooler weather at the start of the present week, business has picked up a little, but arrivals are beavy. Pot plant trade is steadily improv- ing. For fern dishes the demand is quite good. Flowering plants are scarce as yet, but an abundance of foliage plants are seen. Flower Market BaJiquet.

He traced the history of the wholesale flower market movement from its in- ception to the present time, and spoke of the great benefit it had proved to be for so many growers. He stated that the directors had voted to declare a dividend of ten per cent to stockholders November 1. The secretary's records were duly ac- cepted. The treasurer's report for the year ending September 30 showed total receipts of $20,859.30. Of this sum. $10,000 was from capital stock ^old and $8,107.33 from rentals.

The Maxket. Business remains about the same aa usual, though in the latter part of last week it was pretty lively. Carnations are in good supply now, with the de- mand also good. They retail at 50 cents per dozen. Good roses retail at $1.50 per dozen. Mums will soon have full sway, *and then carnations will take a back seat for a while. Mums retail at $2,50 per dozen. Some nice snapdragons sell at 75 cents per dozen. Violets sell fairly well at 75 cents per hundred blooms, though with the advent of cool- er weather these will sell much better. Funeral work was good last week. The florists are all making nice win- dow displays these days. On Wednes- day night, October 12, there was con- siderable frost, but it did not kill all the outdoor flowers. Dahlias remained in fun bloom, besides lots of othfer'out^ side flowers. HENRY M.

Several of the Holland bulb exporters now have permanent representatives resi- dent in this country. Pea deliveries at the Wisconsin and Michigan growing stations, now about all in, do not afford any hope of relief. Albert McCullough, Cincinnati, and a party of friends leave November 1 to spend the month hunting and fishing in Florida. Beans are not in any better situation than before. The weather has been good and bad by turns and the finish of the crops has been uneven. The southern seedsmen are hustling the catalogue makers, for they want to have the 1911 books in the hands of the planters by December 1. The Reichardt & Schulte Co., Houston, Tex., has moved into its recently com- pleted new building, with seven times the floor space of the old building. W. D. Garlington, formerly of Fort Worth, Tex., has opened a brokerage house at Dallas and will book accounts for seed potatoes, field seeds, fruits and vegetables. If a wholesale seedsman asked his reg- ular customers the prices he feels in his heart that seeds are worth there would be more excitemeiit than the seed trade has seen in years. The southwest has had a fine autumn, with good rains. Conditions are excel- lent for all who till the soil and the eeedsmen are busy continuously. Their only worry is as to what deliveries will be. O. S. Jones, president of the O. S. Jones Seed Co., Sioux Falls, says it is much to his regret that they grew few peas in South Dakota this year, for what few were put in did quite well this year, much better than in 1909. Because a seedsman will let a regular customer have, at a price, a small lot of peas, beans or apy one of a dozen other articles, it does bot follow that the buyer max increase ^^^ quantity at will or that some, otihec buyer can get ti)e:Sam«/atock at any price.

The big range of cucumber houses being erected at Jacksonville, Fla., by the Sunny Brook Distillery Co., were ' wrecked by the storm of October 18. The loss is variously estimated up to $35,000. TOMATOES FOB FORdNO. I should like to know what is the best variety of tomato for forcing. F. A. D. Comet Forcing tomato seems to be the leading variety yet with most of the growers. Lorillard is also popular, but some of the early outdoor varieties are also good. Bonny Best, Wealthy and Earliana are among these early varie- ties. Stone and Beauty are larger and later, but give good satisfaction with some growers. H. G. FORMALDEHYDE DRENCH. Can you give me some information about the use of formaldehyde as a fungicide or insecticide? Please give me a formula for its use on the sand of cutting benches, on soil that contains the grubs of red ants or for nematodes on the roots of tomatoes. B. B. One to 200 is the proportion recom- mended for good results, or one quart to a 50-gallon barrel of water. Apply with a sprinkling can and soak the sand or soil thoroughly. Just sprinkling lightly on the surface will not give the best results. Perhaps some subscriber can give more thorough directions from recent experiments. H. G. FORCING STRAWBERRIES. I should be thankful to you for some information about the forcing of straw- berries. I have some nice runners and should like to know how to treat them, and also how to winter them so as to have the fruit to pick about the middle of April. What I should like to know principally is, whether they would have to freeze any length of time before forcing. P. A. D. It is too late this season to do any- thing with your strawberries with the view of forcing them this winter. These mnners should be potted up about the first part of August and well cared for. Later they should be shifted into 5-inch or 6-inch pots and plunged in cold- frames, and then encouraged to grow and become well established before freezing weather. They should be frozen and given a rest before bringing them inside to force. H. G. ONECO, FLA. it '.A Memorable Wind Storm.

Vincent Jr., iSomCe.,'""."""* Mention The Review when you write for it was an "ill wind" that blew across the state October 17 and 18, and one that will remain fixed in the horti- cultural annals of the state for some time. At Tampa the greatest velocity attained was sixty miles an hour, but in this vicinit]^ and southward it prob- ably attaineo^^more nearly seventy miles. The heaviest gales prevailed on the night of October 17, when the direc- tion changed from the east and swung around to the west, via the north. The damage was not nearly as great as was at first supposed, the worst being the loss of a considerable number of ornamental trees, some of them sev- enty-five feet in height and with a trunk diameter of two feet, including oaks, pines, hickories, etc. At the Koyal Palm Nurseries, in this place, quite a large number of lights were blown out of the greenhouses, and the main packing house was twisted a little out of "gee." In the nursery rows some young "buds" were torn away from the stakes. The loss to the citrus crop cannot yet be determined, though throughout this county generally the loss in fruit blown from the trees probably does not ex- ceed ten per cent. The estimated loss of grape-fruit in the magnificent At- wood grove, some four miles north of this town, was about 5,000 boxes out of a possible 50,000. Of course, a large per cent of that remaining may be badly damaged from thorning and bruis- ing. Fortunately, the fruit was green and mostly small. Had it been later in the season, with the fruit ripened, the entire crop would have been ruined. Wm. A. Cook.

Five Pages of Retailers' Cards This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the facili- ties for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid develop- ment of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and so help- ful a branch of the business that its volume will keep on increasing for many years. The Review originated the idea of the gathering and grouping of these cards — as a means of turning a penny for itself while performing a valuable service for its readers. There have been imitators, yes, but the legitimate efforts of others to make use of the idea has had the usual result of emphasizing the superiority of the original, and The Review now finds itself required to devote five pages to the Directory of Retail Florists. While there is a large daily exchange of orders by mail and wire between retailers in dis- tant cities, it is such an event as the death of a prominent citizen that brings out the special use- fulness of this Directory. The death of David B. Hill last week brought a flood of orders to Albany; the death of Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, would have done the same for any florist of Fort Dodge had one been represented in these pages. The following letter from a Boston retailer tells the story: "We had a large number of orders for the funeral of Julia Ward Howe, among which were telegraph orders from florists all over the United States and quite a few from abroad." — Penn the Florist, Boston, October 20, 1910. Are you sending and receiving your share of these orders? You can send your share (and make 20 per cent profit without effort) if you let your customers know you can perform this service for them. To receive your share — well. The Review's department for Retailers' cards remains the one way of getting prompt action on the order in hand. If you are the only florist in your city represented here, you get the orders coming into your territory from other florists. If you are not represented and "the other fellow" is — we can leave it to you what becomes of these desirable orders. They are growing more numerous every year. To be represented costs only 70 cents per week on a yearly order. This is for one-inch space. Other spaces in proportion. Why not send your order today — now — before you forget it?

LflRD'^ FLOWiRJOP 112 W. 8th Ave., TOPEKA, KAN. The Market. Chrysanthemums are the queens of trade and have unceremoniously pushed everything else aside in public estima- tion. They will hold the sway from now until Thanksgiving. But this city is not what can be called a mum mar ket; 15 cents is about the limit for the popular price for a single bloom, no matter how large it may be or how long the stem. Some pretty fine blooms are now coming to market, white, yellow and pink being the only salable ones. Rose growers are holding back their crops and will reap the harvest after the mums are gone. Carnations are coming in more plentifully and in bet- ter quality than previously, and the out- look is better than it was a fortnight ago. Prices are normal. The supply is sufficient for all demands and few special calls are made. Funeral work is about average, while a few wedding functions and sociables help out. Club Meeting. The regular monthly meeting of the Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island, which was held at the rooms of the association in Swarts' hall, 98 Westminster street, October 17, was one of the best meetings that have been held in two years. The officers were much encouraged and the coming meet- ings this season are certain to reflect the awakening manifested at this meet- ing. President -Robert Johnston was ic ,the/(ibair and reported that exryxesident William Appleton, who has been serious- ly ill, was slightly improved.

Over 2,500 chrysanthemums now afford evidence of some of the work done. The old Jurgens greenhouses, on Mill street, Newport, where the now large business of growing lily of the valley in season and out of season, for the trade of the country, was begun a quar- ter of a century ago, are now being tprn down.

During the last few months a con- certed and successful effort has been made to organize the florist, nursery and seed trades of British Columbia. The direct cause was an oflicial notice to amend the Provincial Horticultural Act so as to include all greenhouse stock in compulsory inspection and fumigation. Realizing the advantage of coiicerted efforts, an organization called the British Columbia Florists ', Nursery- men's and Seedsmen's Association was formed, A. J. Woodward, of Victoria, was elected president, and H. Tidy, of New Westminster, secretary. A thor- oughly representative deputation was appointed and waited on the govern- . ment, which readily agreed to kill the amendment, and did so. October 5 this parent society held its first annual meeting, at New Westmin- ster. The officers then elected were: President, S. S. Gordon, New Westmin- ster; vice-president, Mr. Wallace, of the Flewins Gardens, Victoria; secretary- treasurer, H. Tidy, New Westminster. Messrs. Hillman, Davis and Brown, of Vancouver, and Talbot, of Victoria, were appointed as the executive com- mittee. Three local societies have been suc- cessfully organized since the parent society was formed, and they are all do- ing good work. They are the Westmin- ster branch, of which H. Tidy is presi- dent; the Vancouver* branch, of which J. Brown is president, and the Victoria branch, with A. J. Woodward as presi- dent. The constitution says that "the object of these societies is to bring to- gether the florists, nurserymen and seedsmen of the province * * * for the interchange of ideas," etc. The fees of all except the Victoria branch are: First year (1910-1911), $2; each succeeding year, $5. There is, in connection with the pro- vincial department of agriculture, a board of horticulture composed of five members, one of whom at present is also the official in charge of the work- ing of the department which has charge of all matters relating to nursery stock, fruits and vegetables imported into, or at present in, the province, as the other four members are all fruit grow- ers or ranchers. The fact that there were no practical florists or nursery- men on the board was considered an injustice by the trade, and individual efforts have been made durinc the last two or three years to have the matter remedied. The government, however, always made the excuse that there were no vacancies. The lamentable kill- ing of the late Captain Elliston created a vacancy, which was promised by the acting minister of agriculture to the florists, and A. J. Woodward was unani- mouslv appointed, at the meeting of the parent body in New Westminster, as the trade representative. However, in spite of promises, the appointment wfent to^natber frait grower.

The executive committee met and a resolution was passed which will be sent to the government, clearly set- ting forth the trade's grievance, its probable cause and its remedy. At the organization meeting of the Victoria branch, certain changes were made in the constitution, as applied to that branch, so as to admit professional gardeners to membership, make the first year's fee $1 instead 6f $2, an^ leave the future dues open for th'S present, instead of making them $5, as in the other societies. In the description of the new sweet pea, Jimmie Bland, in a previous re- port, Mr. Bland was wrongly stated to be secretary of the Vancouver society. Mr. Bland is secretary-treasurer of the Vancouver Island (Victoria) Horticul- tural Society, F. B. SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. The Majket. A wave of unprecedented warm weather for this season has had the effect of bringing into town an abun- dance of all kinds of flowers, especially such as mums and carnations. Boses, too, seem to feel the heat greatly and we have had an overabundance of them for the last week. The asters are hold- ing on much better than they usually do and there are still quantities of really good flowers in the market. Al- though their season is about over, one hates to see their finish, as they have proven an extra good seller this year, the public never seeming to tire of them. Mums are now in their glory and the prices have dropped quite a little since last week. Carnations hold their own, but some of the lighter colors are rather hard to dispose of. In roses only the best sell well, but these bring espe- cially good returns. Valley is plentiful and moves slowly. Japanese lilies, ex- cept longiflorum, are over for the year, and the same can be said of gladioli, although a few late beds will be in evi- dence for a few weeks yet. Business is not as brisk as we should like to see it, and everyone seems to think that a good shower of rain would do some good. The Flower Show. The regular fall exhibition of the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society and the California State Floral Society was held in the Fairmount hotel, October 20, 21 and 22. Although not as large as those of some former years, the stock shown and the interest taken, both by the trade and by the public, was fully as great as at any other flower show. The showing of carnations and outside- grown roses, owing to the excessive heat during the last few weeks, was not as extensive as it might have been, while the displays of orchids, dahlias, ferns, stove plants, mums, tuberous begonias and miscellaneous stock were the best ever shown here. Too much praisfe can- not be given to the gentlemen y^UiC at- tended to the- details, and Messrs. Mat- raia, Plath and Atkinson deserve much credit for their skill in making the affair such a huge success. Among the exhibitors of chrysantliemums, the Eed- wood Nursery Co. had the largest and ro«»t- comprehensive Bhowi»g.— They captured about a dozen firtt -prizes 'f«tA specimens in pots, in single vases, and for collections from a dozen to fifty blooms. Enemoto Bros, and Domoto Bros, also received first awards for the same kinds of flowers. In roses, F. Eosa took first prize for a magnificent display of Kaiserin A. Vic- toria and Beauties, as did E. W. Mc- Lellan & Co. for My Maryland, Bride and Richmond. The H. M. Sanborn Co. received a second award on vases of Beauty, Bride and Kate Moulton. On carnations, Enemoto Bros, received first prizes for best fifty flowers, also for their collection and seedlings. J. A. Carbone showed some extra good out- side-grown Mrs. John Laing and Ulrich Brunner. William Kettlewell drew about a dozen first prizes for his col- lections of dahlias, herbaceous peren- nials, hardy annuals, vegetables and hanging baskets. J. W. Bagge, for single dahlias, received first award, and Paul Uhlmann received second. P. H. Eckelman got first for a large vase of Minnie Burgle dahlias and the Golden Gate Park also showed a large assort- ment of these and other kinds of hardy blooming shrubbery. The best award for tuberous begonias went to F. W. Breen, with James Niven a close second. The display of orchids by the MacRorie- McLaren Co., compris- ing thirty-eight varieties, was the most elaborate showing in the hall. The ar- rangement was decidedly artistic and attracted much attention. They received several first prizes for these and also for foliage plants and specimen ferns. J. A. Carbone, of West Berkeley, also had a splendid showing of orchids, ferns, carnations and roses. He exhibited a beautiful specimen of C. Gaskelliana and received an additional first prize for a specimen of phalsenopsis. The exhibit of ferns was large and H. Plath was awarded many first prizes for the various varieties of nephrolepis, as well as for dracsenas. W. Hill got first on crotons and two firsts for specimen cattleyas. C. F. Crocker was first on Primula obconica, dahlias and mums. E. James Co. received firsts on nephro- lepis and cyclamen in pots. The department devoted to table decorations was the center of much ad- miration and the prizes were awarded to J. Seulberger for the most artistic deco- ration and the H. M. Sanborn Co. for the second best. The MacRorie-Mc- Laren Co. also exhibited a large lot of bay trees of various sizes and shapes. Various Notes. Samuel Lundy, representing the W. A. Manda Co., has been in town for a few weeks. [Concluded on page 65.] DAHLIAS We are growers of the very beat; have » lam collection to select from. Send for prloet. David Herbert & Son ATCO, N. J.

Department of Agriculture, at the request of the Committee on Refrigeration for the International Congress now being held at Vienna.] The modern commercial nursery han- dles such an immense volume of stock, . of such a varied nature, and possesses a patronage scattered through so wide a territory that in order to successfully handle and pack the product and de- liver it for spring planting, the old prac- tice of heeling in the stock has been abandoned, to give place to the modern system of storing in retarding houses. The season for handling the stock is so short, because the plants start so quick- ly in the spring, even when dug in the fall and heeled in according to the old practice, that it is practically impossi- ble to operate extensive nurseries on such a basis. Small nurseries and plant gardens, designed to meet the require- ments of local purchasers only, can be successfully operated without retarding buildings or the intervention of cold storage. In extensive enterprises, how- ever, where the sales lists reach thou- sands of people, and where the distribu- tion is made through a number of states possessing a variety of soil and climatic conditions, the distribution must extend over a considerable period of time, a period of time much greater than is al- lowed by the normal behavior of the plant; therefore artificial means must be resorted to in order to hold the nur- sery stock in suitable condition for shipment, to provide for this wide dis- tribution. Types of Structure for Retarding. The type of structure best suited for the work of storing nursery stock is de- termined by the quantity of stock to be handled and the location of the nursery. In those sections where long, uniformly cold winters prevail, the cellar or half- underground structure is satisfactory. Farther south, where conditions are less severe, and where there is greater va- riation in temperature within short pe- riods of time, the above-ground type of structure, insulated by providing multi- • *i. pie partitions of boards and paper in the P^'- oa.ts^»^yralls, gives better satisfaction than any other type oi . al^iictwe; In these southern territories cellars become A BLUE ROSE The Greatest Rose Novelty off the Century It flowered with us this sea- son and was greatly admired.

The above-ground structure with walls packed with sawdust is not satisfactory, because the humid condi- tions which must be maintained within . the structure, in order to successfully preserve the nursery stock, greatly les- sens the life of the structure. At the same time, a moist wall packing is a less efficient insulator than a dry one. jAir spaces are, therefore, most satis- Ifactory, particularly if the spaces are made horizontally, rather than perpen- dicularly, so as to prevent rapid circu- lation of air. It is necessary that these buildings be frost-proof, as well as capable of holding or retaining cold temperatures for a long period. , Built on the Unit or Boom Plan. Large structures, designed for this purpose, are built on a unit scheme. There are different storage rooms pro- vided, each room being stored with ma- terial for a given geographical area. Those containing stock to be planted first are emptied quickest, and those which contain stock to go to most north- ern localities are not opened after the temperature has been once reduced, 'more than is absolutely necessary, until time for packing out arrives. Besides being built on the unit or room plan, these buildings are provided with ventilating apparatus which can be controlled to regulate the circulation of air in the rooms as much as possible. While circulation of air is desirable, great caution is necessary in ventilating ^ the rooms to so manipulate it as to- al- ^w the entrance of air only at times when the temperature of the room will not be raised above the desired point, or lowered beyond the safe limit for. the stock in storage. Dete- rioration in stored stock is largely due to changes in ■tumidity within the storage house, brought about by fluctuations in temperature. Unifor- mity of temperature is of greater im- portance than low temperature. Besides the value of the retarding house as a means of facilitating the work of the nursery during the digging and packing season, the retarding house is a great safeguard to the nurseryman. Little stock is injured from storage in build- ings with a uniform temperature, as compared with the loss of stock which is dug and heeled in. Much stock was lost under the old system from severe winter conditions, but because the tem- perature is never allowed to reach the danger point in the retarding houses this is not possible. Storage houses are, therefore, a great safeguard to the busi- ness. CARNATIONS ThlB l8 all fine stock; satiefactlon Is guaranteed.

The weather seems to be the first thing to comment on these days, be- cause it has had a great deal to do with trade in general. Better weather than we have had in the last two weeks could not have been asked for, it being most of the time more like summer than anything else. We have in the last two days had our first frosts of the season, but they were slight and did little damage. Consequently outdoor stock has to a great extent killed busi- ness for the stock grown under glass, and at the same time these bright, warm days have brought stock of all kinds into good crop. Chrysanthemums are now in their glory, and are arriving in immense quantities. This, however, is not re- gretted by the Dayton florists, for the date of All Saints' day has been changed to a week earlier in this city. Many bouquet orders are being booked for this date. White chrysanthemums are especially plentiful, and these, of course, are the variety in demand at this time. It might be said that trade during the last two weeks has been seemingly controlled by funeral work, for which the demand is exceedingly variable. Eoses of all kinds are quite plentiful, with the exception of pink, on which crops are a little short. Car- nations are fine and the cuts are in- creasing daily, while the demand also keeps up well. Giganteums are scarce just now, and callas are just commenc- ing to come in. Various Notes. A. Carey spent October 22 and 23 in Cincinnati. Mrs. Chas. M.

Owing to the cold and wet weather this •summer in Belgium and the large demand for azaleas all over the world this year. Azalea Indica is very scarce and high in price, but in spite of all these facts I want every florist to know that I have just arrived from Europe with a large cargo of Azalea Indica, the finest stock in Ghent. My grower on the other side has done justice to me this year, again reserv- ing for me the cream of his 200-acre azalea field, giving me my own pick. itfWhen a cigar maker smokes a cigar, what will he smoke? The worst he has? I should say not. He'll smoke the best he has, the one with the finest aroma, giving his customers evidence of the quality of his goods. So do I. What I force for my own use is certainly good enough for my customers. Now is the time to force Azalea Indica for Christmas. What varieties will you force? Surely the ones, the early varie- ties, that I know I can get in in time for Xmas. There is Deutsche Perle, one of the best early double whites. We have plants full of buds, at 60c, 75c, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00 each. Simon Mardner, you know this variety well. It is an early deep double pink variety, 60c, 75c, $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00 each. Vervaeneana, one of the old standard, well-favored, large, double, variegated varieties, 75c, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00. How about Apollo? This is a deep, single red variety, always full of buds, 60c, 75c, $1.00, $1.25 to $1.50. Didn't you ever hear of that earliest of all varieties, Mme. Petrick? This Is a variety hard to beat, pink, double flowers, full of buds and never fails to bloom. A child can bring this variety into bloom for Christmas. It is very scarce and high in priee this fall in Belgium. You must have a few of them anyhow, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00 each. EHSTER VARIETIES For Easter forcing we have only the well known standard American varieties, such as Mme. Van der Cruyssen, pink (very scarce this fall in Belgium), 75c, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00 each. Niobe, double white.

The liMtket. %'here have been many funerals here recently, and the florists have been pleasing their patrons with Harrisii lilies, mums and roses in all varieties fot these occasions. Weddings and par- ties have been plentiful, too, and with the approach of Hallowe'en festivities the prospects for business during the next few weeks are good. We are hav- ing a few fine days, which have brought om an abundance of flowers. The flo- rists' stores never looked prettier than at present. Various Notes. Miss Jennie Adams, who has been ill since her return from Cleveland, is con- valescent. if'red Wagner has accepted a position with the Baur Floral Co. William McCarthy has returned from a business trip to Buffalo. S. Zelnick, of Cleveland, O., and Mr. Dickhoflf, representing Schloss Bros., New York, were in Erie October 17 and October 19, respectively. The new Masonic building was dedi- cated October 21. The interior was decorated in good taste by J. V. Laver. 'Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Niemeyer celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary October 21, with a recep- tion and supper at their home on Elm- wood avenue. The floral decorations were elaborate and were carried out in yellow and white. Mums and roses were the leading flowers. A pretty October wedding took place at Girard, a suburb of Erie, last week, when Miss Anabel Culbertson, of Erie, and Wm. S. Taft, of Eochester, were united in marriage at the fashionable country home of the bride's parents. The elaborate floral decorations, which consisted mainly of white mums, Killar- ney roses, garlands of asparagus and southern smilax, were furnished by the Baur Floral Co., of this city. B. P. Superior, Wis. — Mrs. L. D. White, formerly proprietor of the Floral Park Greenhouses, has sold the business to Andrew Murphy and has removed to St. Elmo, Tenn., where she will build greenhouses and conduct a general flo- riats' trade.

Trade is on the mend at present, with a good lot of stock coming in. Koses are good and quite plentiful, with a good demand. Killarney and White Killarney are coming with heavy crops, and Maid, Bride, Eichmond, etc., are about equal to the demand. Carnations of good quality are arriving in quan- tity. The stems are of good length, and the size of blooms is all that could be desired. Mums are here in heavy supply, the principal varieties being Touset, Pacific Supreme, Halliday and Early Snow. Some of the early varieties are all cut and gone now. The weather up to Octo- ber 22 was entirely too warm for mums, and it made them soft; the demand also was rather light up to that time, but we are having seasonable weather now and they are moving much better. Violets are coming in now, but are not extra good at present, and demand is light on them. The call for valley is rather light, but there will be a number of weddings shortly that will call for quite a supply. There is little moving in the way of plants — a few ferns and palms now and then — but the bulk of the buLiiness is done on cut stock. Various Notes. The Florists' Club held a call meet- ing Tuesday evening, October 18, at the Fifth Avenue Floral Co. 's store, to ar- range for the first dance of the season, which will take place November 2 at Vandalia hall. The club has secured quarters in the same building for meet- ings during the winter months. The Columbus Floral Co. reports things moving nicely. They have two neat delivery wagons, which make a good advertisement for them. They are cutting quite a few mums and car- nations now. Mr. Davey has severed his connection with the Leo Miller greenhouses and will conduct a fruit stand at Central market for the time being. E. Metzmaier reports business good. J. M. Whittenton, Miss. — A large green- house, with walls of cement blocks, is being erected at the residence of Clin- ton Macomber. Upper Alton, HI. — Newman Bros., on East Second street, have been display- ing in their store a monster fern, grown by themselves and said to be the largest in the state. It attracted wide atten- tion. ORCHIDS Established and imported in great varied ; also material in which to grow them. UGER &.HURRELL. Summit. N. J. Orchid Growcra and Importers.

"We have passed through another spell of eummer weather, it being quite warm the whole of last week. Previous to this stock was scarce, but now there is plenty. Mums are arriving in large quantities, many being weak, owing to the warm weather. Roses and carna- tions also are plentiful. Business opened up nicely with a change in the weather. A big run of funeral work kept all hands busy. Various Notes. Breitmeyer's branch store on Wood- ward avenue, in connection with the store of the McDermiad Candy Co., will soon be doing business. Miss Krauss- man will be in charge. Eobert Rahaley and Albert Pochelon spent several days in Chicago last week. All the important wholesale houses were visited, also the principal retail stores. Wm. Dilger, for a long time superin- tendent of Belle Isle park, has sent his resignation to Park Commissioner Hurl- burt, to take effect November 1. Just what Mr. Dilger 's plans for the future are he will not divulge, but it is under- stood he has several good things in sight. J. F. Sullivan left Detroit Sunday, October 23, for New York. He will visit the Hudson river violet district to arrange for the year's supply. A number of the stores have pretty Hallowe'en effects in the windows. A large corner in Breitmeyer's reminded one of a pretty nook in the woods, with its beautifully colored foliage. E. A. Fetters' window, always one of the prettiest, shows various effects in yel- low mums, with just enough corn to serve as a reminder that pumpkins are in season. Schroeter's large window contains a real Hallowe'en table dec- oration. In the smaller window an old gate, torn from its hinges, gives the boys and girls a gentle hint. A fine home is in course of construc- tion on Mack avenue, to be occupied by Fred Miesel and his family. The annual outing to Mt. Clemens by the Florists' Club will take place Thurs- day, . November 3. A special car will leave the corner of Griswold and Con- gress streets at 9 a. m. The Toledo Florists' Club, as well as any other flo- rist who can find it convenient to do so, will be welcomed by the Detroit club as its guests on this annual pil- grimage. H. S.

Houses in the residential 'district are opening up daily and the demand from this source, as well as that of numerous October weddings, has given an impetus to the trade that promises well. All kinds of stock show improvement, roses and carnations particularly being much bet- ter than those of a week ago. Violets can now be offered without an apolog}'. A few doubles are on the market, but are not as good relatively as the singles. Dahlias are in their prime, and are the best sellers, as they easily make more show for the money than any other flower on the market. Growers of inside stock look with ho\H\ and gentle- men of the dahlia farms with fear, at the weather report, which predicts a heavy frost. At present the dahlia men have the best of it and are pushing their product in great shape. Cosmos is also plentiful and appears to sell well. Chrysanthemums are increasing in volume daily. Some good flowers are seen of Glory of Pacific, Polly Kose, Montmort, Monrovia, Kalb, and some extra fine Pacific Supreme and Gloria. Various Notes. J. Bolgiano & Sons have begun their special sales of all kinds of house plants. Over 3,000 ferns were sold Fri- day and Saturday, October 21 and 22. Harrj' Ekas, of Frederick road, had some extra fine Gloria mums in the mar- ket Saturday. The ladies' bowling team is making things hum at the garage alleys every Wednesday night. Mrs. James Boone is captain of the team. Conrad Hess, of Waverly, has an ex- ceptionally fine lot of Scottii ferns. Q- Greenhouse Glass Best Quality, lowest prices.

The result is that plants un- der Sunlight Sash will be ready for the mar- ket weeks ahead of those grown under sin- gle glass sash because the plants get the light from sun-up to sun-down — which means faster and stockier growth.

Pompon chrysanthemums are again beginning to make their appearance in considerable quantity and during the next few weeks will be more extensive- ly used than ever before. Larger quan- tities are being grown than in any pre- ceding year. The popularity of the pompon is of comparatively recent date. A few years ago it was scarcely ever seen, but the success with which some retail florists used it in decorative work was so great that the small flowers sprang into im- mediate favor and were in large re- quest. For table decorations few flowers are finer than pompons. They are adapted to practically every kind of arrange- ment which is possible on a dinner table. The accompanying illustration is reproduced from a photograph of a dinner decoration arranged by George H. Cooke, the well known Washington retailer, and is an excellent example of graceful arrangement after the high style. It will be noted in this particu- lar, that Mr. Cooke used an extremely tall, thin-stemmed, glass vase, thereby elevating the heaviest part of his ar- rangement above the eyes of the seated dinner guests and thus avoiding the ob- scuring of the view across the table. THANKSGIVING WINDOWS. Importance of Good Displays. Among the preparations for Thanks- giving none is more important than the decoration of the window — or, better still, the windows — ^for the week or ten days preceding the festive occasion. Two or three, windows, or changes of window decoration, are not too much for this period. All the time one can spare is not too much to devote to this work, and if trade is not what it ought to be, then something new and better should be devised for the window dis- plays. Of course, mums are the principal at- traction, with violets as a close second, while the old favorites, the carnations, keep their steady patrons. All these, then, with the roses, must be displayed to good advantage — not all at once, however, nor yet any one flower too exclusively. No Thanksgiving window is complete without the addition of fruit or grain. Cornstalks, oats, or wheat sheaves, autumn leaves, pumpkins, cat- tails, all have wonderful capacities for developing the flowers just mentioned. A Fence Corner, With Frequent Changes. A window which represents a corner of a field, with a rail fence against which you may set a large group of cosmos, with tall ferns to hide the vase and with a liberal display of violets in rustic hampers, makes a good decoration for fall or Thanksgiving. Numerous combinations, with this as a theme, may be introduced, perhaps one each day; for instance, by adding yel- low, white or bronze chrysanthemums, or the heliotrope or pink mums. Or, use the pink cosmos with a good blend- ing color of pink mums, with or with- out the violets. For another change, scatter wood- bine leaves all over the floor and use the same vine to trail along the fence on one side. Against the other side of the fence, and in the corner, set a quantity of white or cream chrysanthe- mums. In the open space toward the front of the window, use hampers of smaller mums and white grapes. Another: Use oak leaves for the floor, and cornstalks, with yellow and bronze mums, for the large central group. These should be grouped in striking masses, with a few scattering out from the central point. Another: Bronze and yellow mums, with cat-tails for the tall of ti iniltiviitod variety or the native varieties. Anytliing in that line will do which has the style and length; for example, foxtail, ribbon grass, or natural-colored pampas plumes. If seeded, so much the better. Be shy of much ribbon or chiffon. One immense corn shock, with a great vase of mums in the center, is a good Thanksgiving window design and may be adapted to church platforms or to banquet or dance hall decorations. If space permits, several shocks may be used at convenient dis- tances. Do not crowd them. This plan would make a good cozy corner decora- tion in a large room, for any social af- fair. Pumpkins, with smaller flowers of the same color as the mums, may be strewn among the shocks to complete the picture. A violet and green window may be adapted from the same plan. Use deep heliotrope mums in the shocks, and dishes of violets placed inside of. cabbage heads from which the centers have been removed. The General Color and the Background. In the foregoing color jjlaus the pinks will be found the more brilliant for evening, and the yellow the richer for daylight decorations, t'urple or violet develops a red tinge in artificial light. Any of the designs described will be improved by a background which par- takes of the character of the design Table Decoration of Pompon Chrysanthemums. portion against the fence and a pump- kin jardiniere out in front, filled with smaller mums. A Complete Change of Scene. Then, to change the entire scheme, have one basket set on a floor of loose wheat, native or bleached. Let the color scheme for the basket be pink mums or mums and cosmos, with a liberal addition of long grass, either itself. To illustrate: Place at the back of the window a large screen of burlap, preferably dark green, with a spray or border of cat-tails or cornstalks, or a side wall which can be paneled with wheat straws or small sheaves, or with grass, whichever is used in the principal display piece. Long-leaved Boston ferns are excep- tionally good with grain stalks. A stump filled with an immense cluster of 8 The Weekly Florists^ Review* NuvioMUKu 3, 1910.

I have found that to be the case, and for this reason: The average transient customers buy flowers for two widely different reasons, either for joy- ous or for sad occasions; that is, for a wedding, a banquet, a dinner party, or for some young lady's gift; or, on the other hand, for a funeral, a sick- room, or to place on a grave. Hence we might call this a business which ap- Store of Wolfskin Bros., Los Angeles, Cal. setting for flowers. The whole was a picture of a wheat field, but done in natural wheat, having the effect of growing in the field, with grouse flying close over the heads of grain. The wheat stalks had been cut, cleaned and dried with the grain remaining. A screen of fine wire was stretched horizontally across the display space, about two feet above the floor. The wheat stalks were pulled through the meshes as far as the head, where they remained suspended, and when the meshes were all filled the spectator was looking down upon a wheat field with stuffed grouse suspended in a flying position close aliove tlie surface of the grain. Any wild game birds could be sub stituted for the grouse. Long-stemmed mums could be interspersed freely among the wheat heads, with their stems in vases below. At some pronii nent place in the rear a great sheaf of wheat or a shock couhl be filled witli a mass of chrysanthemums, as a break to the evenness of tlie field. With a reasonably large amount of reflecting mirror surface the wlieat field might I.e made to look immense and most at- tractive.

Marion, Ind. — Mr. and Mrs. Leo C. Smith, proprietors of the Marion Floral Co., have opened a store on Adams street, between Fourth and Fifth streets. They have greenhouses at Meridian and Thirtv-first streets. NEW LOS ANGEIiES STOBE. The sons of J. W. Wolfskill have succeeded to his business and, under the name of Wolfskill Bros., conduct in Los Angeles the store shown in the accom- panying illustration, reproduced from a recent photograph. Lighting always is an important point in flower store equipment and how well the Tungsten lamps are adapted to the purpose is demonstrated in this picture. The photograph was taken at night by the aid of artificial light, the camera stand- ing in a position to get the view of the passer-by. PALMER'S SPECIAL DELIVERY. Possibly the most unique automobile operating on the streets of Buffalo is the gasoline tricycle used by W. J. Palmer for special delivery. Its odd ap- pearance attracts an immense amount of attention and Mr. Palmer says that in addition to providing exceptionally rapid delivery facilities the machine has proved one of the best advertisements he ever invested in. The car is capable of making thirty-five miles per hour and when making ordinary speeds on the city streets it consumes little fuel and has thus far caused no expense for upkeep. Mr. Palmer's delivery facilities now include two Pierce cars of the usual type and this three-wheeled special de- livery motor. He thinks the automo- bile to be far better than the old-style vehicle for a florist who has a large number of deliveries to make. THE DEBUTANTE. [Gleaning of an interview witli Cliarles Henry Fox. J The debutante 's bouquet should be an arm bunch, preferably of one kind of flowers, the choicest blossoms of their kind. Killarney roses were used in the bunch shown in the photograph. Chrys- anthemums are seasonable. Mr. Fox sometimes uses a combination of wild flowers. The reward of taste and skill in the arrangement of the debutante bunch is the honor of having that bunch carried. The recipient of the flowers may receive as many as a hundred bou- quets; she can only carry one, her THE RETAIL CLERK. The article in The Review of Octo- ber 21, entitled ''Retailers' Troubles," suggests this question for the retail florist: Have you noticed, in hiring sales people for your store, that people who can make good sales in the average lines of business do not always seem to adapt themselves readily to the patrons of the florists' trade, and that rules applying to department store A Florist** Motor Tricycle.

Baltbis, of Des Moines, 1,1., read at the eighth annual meeting of tile Society of Iowa Florists, In Des Moines.] This subject is one which appears to have been overlooked by a large number of florists, as much of their work has proven to me of late. Their work tends to show, however, how much thought and study have been given to the characteristics in the growth of the plants, though not in the blending of colors. In summer bedding there are several things which must be considered, with- out regard to the colors, to insure suc- cess. We must know about the height each variety of plants will attain, in order to insure symmetry in the ap- pearance of the bed. Attention should also be paid to the nature of the leaves, especially in carpet bedding. It is an easy matter so to mix alternantheras and coleus as to spoil an excellent de- sign. It is almost impossible to ar- range alternantheras on the inside of a coleus bed and make it look well. In the so-called carpet bed it is seldom that flowering plants can be used with any degree of satisfaction. Not long ago I noticed a good design spoiled because sweet alyssum was used, and the gardener, in his endeavor to keep it as low as the alternantheras, had necessarily pinched ofE the tops which would have flowered, and the space was green where it was intended to be white. Harmony and Contrast. As the color of a plant often changes to a certain extent after it is moved from the greenhouse to the garden, we should have a complete knowledge not only of what the color is, but what it will be. If there are several beds to be planted in a certain space, we not only ought to «hoose colors which harmonize with- in a single bed, but also between the beds as a whole. For instance, a bed of red geraniums bordered with Madame Salleroi geraniums looks much better near a bed of yellow cannas than near red ones. If the red cannas were used the individual beds would be satisfactory, but there would not be enough contrast between the beds. One of the best flower beds I ever saw was planted as follows, naming from the center out: First, Robusta cannas; second, Florence Vaughan cannas; third, Mrs. Page salvias; fourth, Gold- en Bedder coleus; fifth, Alternanthera brilliantissima. In every instance the contrast was good and the colors were bright and harmonized perfectly. An example of a smaller bed might be as follows: A center of King Humbert cannas, then two or three rows of Buttercup cannas, bordered with any good red alternantheras. Some Poor Combinations. Having mentioned a few instances of good color combinations, I will now describe some which I have seen and consider quite undesirable. In one of The Debutante. the parks of this city I noticed a good bed planted with King Humbert can- nas in the center, with salvias next and the coleus, John Pfister, as a border. How much better would it have looked, however, had there been some bright color, such as yellow or white, to sep- arate the different shades of red! I have also seen beds similar to the foregoing, except that they were in- tended to be all yellow, but, owing to the different shades of yellow, it would have looked much better had there been some darker color to separate them. One of the most unsatisfactory pieces of planting in regard to the blending of colors is to be seen in a prominent place in this city. There we can find red and pink geraniums with some blue ageratums. A worse combination would certainly be impos- sible to find. How much better would a simple bed of red geraniums bor- dered with sweet alyssum, or a bed of white geraniums bordered with blue ageratum, have looked! Planting the Backgroimd. In planting a flower garden or even in planting a few beds on a large lawn, there are several points to be considered in planting either the back- ground or foreground. If, when plant- ing the background, you wish to give the grounds a larger appearance, plant such colors as blue, orange, deep rod and the like; while, if the background is to appear closer, any bright color, such as scarlet, white and yellow, will have the desired effect. I first noticed this in my experience in planting at Union park. The predominating colors in the back half of the garden included such as pink, salmon, orange and the like. But after planting a couple of beds of Golden Bedder coleus it seemed to bring the entire background closer. Some of you will perhaps disagree with me in my plea for a sharp con- trast in adjoining colors. But if you will notice in particular a bed planted all red or all yellow and the like, or two adjoining beds of the same color, and then look at one where the colors are contrasted or at the beds as a whole, I have no doubt but that you will quite agree. PEOPAGATINO DOUBLE ALYSSUM. Where can I obtain seeds of double giant alyssum? I have seen the plants catalogued, but not the seeds. The single varieties are not desirable. M. E. H. The double varieties of alyssum do not produce seeds and must be pjopa- gated by cuttings. 0.

A PICTURE TABLE. Yellow "was the color scheme of the table decoration shown in the accom- panying illustration; there was just enough white and green to emphasize the principal color. This was called a picture table and was arranged by Mrs. K. Hall Ryno for the Appalachian Exposition, held re- cently at Knoxville, Tenn. The table was covered by a drawn- work cloth over yellow satin. Yellow flower the whole winter. Bulbous plants, such as hyacinths, tulips and narcissi, can be used; also such fibrous rooted begonias as Gloire de Lorraine, incar- nata and semperflorens rubra; Primulas obconica, Sinensis and Kewensis; cycla- mens, heliotropes, genistas, Astilbe Ja- ponica and its varieties, zonal gerani- ums, callas and amaryllis. Carnations and roses could be grown, but not quite satisfactorily. Quite a variety of foli- age plants could be grown if desired. far apart should they be set in the beds? Are they aS hardy and will thev bloom as early as pansies? Will thev sell as well as pansies in the spring, when put up in baskets? H. D. H. The Picture Table. chrysanthemums were used above a centerpiece of white roses and maiden- hair ferns, with cut glass vases of white roses at each end of the table. The cut glass candlesticks had yellow candles and yellow shades. There was one large yellow mum and maidenhair ferns at each corner, tied with white ribbon. THE FLOBAL PICTTJBE FBAME. The Gem, a new vaudeville theater, recently was opened at Cairo, 111. Friends of the management wishing to send something to show their apprecia- tion of the pretty little playhouse wisely decided that the florist was the man to help them out. They put the matter up to H. H. Cade, with the result shown in the illustration. The piece was 4x6 feet and stood on an easel six feet high. The lettering was of capes, with a background of galax. The border or frame was of Maryland roses and Rose- pink Enchantress carnations. Lilium longiflorum could be brought along nicely for Easter, while Harrisii could be brought along earlier. There are many other winter-flowering plants, but a selection from the foregoing list will be found satisfactory and of quite easy culture. C. W. WINTEBING DOUBLE DAISIES. Please let me know how to care for daisies (bellis), so as to winter them over in the open ground. Should they be treated in the same way as pansies? What kind of soil suits them best? How Bellis or daisies require much tho same treatment as pansies. They are a little more tender than pansies and will die out quite badly during winters when the snow covering is scant, if tln' mulching is insufficient to protect them from the sun's rays. Set the plants in the beds four inches apart each wav and, when the ground freezes, cover with a light mulch of leaves, hay, straw or pine needles. The plants bloom just as early as pansies and are quite salable if put up in small baskets, though hard ly as popular as pansies and forget-me uots. In wintering them outdoors, select ground with a gentle slope, where no water can stand. If they are placed in coldframes you will get earlier flowers and may be sure that all are in good shape in early spring. Mulch witli forest leaves after the beds are frozen; then put on the sashes. They will un- cover as fresh as when the mulch was given them. C. W. WILTING OF POINSETTIAS. What is the projjer way of handling cut poinsettias to prevent wilting? W. M. E. S. The temperature of the house in which the plants are growing should be dropped 10 degrees a couple of days before they are cut. When cut, either sear the ends of the stems with a hot iron or hot coal, or dip them in water at or near the boiling point for a few sec- onds. Only the bottom part of the stem, of course, should be immersed. Searing the ends with a hot iron has proved, on the whole, more satisfactory than the hot water. Bleeding will also be stopped if the stems are stood in water of a temperature of 120 to 140 degrees for five minutes. After they have been seared or dipped in hot water, plunge the stems in deep jars of cold water in a tem- perature of 45 degrees. Too low a de- gree of cold has a tendency to cause the foliage to turn yellow quickly. It PLANTS FOB ENCLOSED POBCH. One of our customers has enclosed a porch with glass. In this porch he will be able to carry a temperature of from 50 to 70 degrees, and he asks us to fur- nish a list of plants that could be grown and bloomed there this winter. As this is entirely out of our line, can you help us by suggesting a small list of plants that you think could be suc- cessfully grown ? C. L. & G. C. The following plants will grow and bloom satisfactorily in such a glass- covered porch as you describe: Azaleas, both the Indian and mollis varieties; Abutilons Boule de Neige, Golden Fleece and Mrs. Laing.

IS a good plau to tie the stems in bun- dles of twelve and wrap each bundle in paper before plunging them in the cold water. .C. W. THE OMAHA SALESIiADIi;S. In an Omaha flower store he asked her: "Where do you get your soft- voiced, pleasing ways of selling?" And she replied: "I don't know — unless we get it from our customers." Also, take a look at the picture that shows the Omaha salesladies and you will have another clue to why the flower business is so good in the Ne- braska metropolis. AZALEAS FOB CHBISTMAS. What treatment should Firefly aza- leas have, so as to bloom for Christ- mas? W. M. R. S. Give the plants a temperature of 60 degrees at night. Keep them freely syringed. Eub off any young growths which may appear. As they come into bloom, discontinue syringing and give them a little less heat. C. W. DOUBLE POINSETTIAS. Where can we obtain double poin- settias? Are they as desirable as the single ones? W. M. R. S. Poinsettia pulcherrima plenissima is the so-called double poinsettia. It is a pretty thing and those who have it find that it sells well. I do not think, however, that it will displace the ordi- nary pulcherrima. I do not know what firms can supply stock of it. Any firms who can offer it might profitably use the advertising columns of The Review, as there are quite a number of growers who would like to give it a trial. C. W. CUELING OF THE LEAF TIPS. Can you tell me what is the matter with the enclosed Lady Bountiful car- nations? They are all affected in this manner and are withering at the tips. I have been using Bordeaux mixture, which has acted as a check on the lat- ter trouble, but seems of no avail in this case. M. J. W. The curling of the tips, such as your specimens show, is nothing uncommon among certain varieties of carnations. Neither does it portend serious trouble. Usually you will find it shortly after the plants have been housed an(J when they have resumed their growth. You will also find it more prevalent when the plants were housed unusually late. It seems to be caused by the severe check resultant from the transplanting, which causes a temporary unbalancing of the root and top development.

Hand picking at night will alleviate the trouble somewhat. Syringing is of no avail and lime water will not trouble these pests in the least. A poisoned mash of shorts, molasses and Paris green will prove attractive to some of the cut worms and sow bugs. When they are buried in the soil, you can suffocate them by using carbon bi- sulphide, boring holes three to four inches deep and eighteen inches apart each way, pouring a scant teaspoonful into each hole and immediately after- ward covering the holes to keep the fumes in. This carbon comes in cans and retails at 25 cents to 30 cents per pound. It will suffocate all pests in the soil and is not in the least harmful to plant life. Q. W. AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.

They did the same thing last year in another bench. We give them lots of water. Can you state the cause and a remedy? D. G. Are you sure that the drainage of the benches is good? Callas want plenty of water and are really semi-aquatics, but under glass thev sometimes rot off almost unaccountably. The water sup- ply, when the tubers are planted, should be moderate, and not until the benches are well filled with roots should the soil be kept more than moderately moist. Perhaps you may havel made the mistake of covering the tubers too deep- 12 The Weekly Florists' Review* .\()Vi:Miti:i: I'.Ud A PICTURE TABLE.

How Bellis or daisies require much ti. same treatment as pansies. They are little more tender than pansies and wi die out quite badly during winters win the snow covering is scant, if tl' mulching is insutlicient to ]>rotoct thei from the sun's rays. Set the jtlants ' the beds four inches apart each w:i and, when the ground freezes, cov- witli a light mulch of leaves, hay, stra or ])in(> needles. The plants bloom jii^ as early as ]iansies and are quite salahi' if j)ut up in small baskets, though har^ ly as poj)ular as ]pansies and forget-m. nots. In wintering them outdoors, selo' ground with a gentle slope, where n water can stand. If they are placed it coldframes you will get earlier flowei- and may be sure that all are iu goo' shape in early spring. Mulch wit 1 forest leaves after the beds are frozen then put on the sashes.

The sixteenth annual fall exhibition of the Dutchess County Horticultural Society, held in the state armory, Octo- ber 27 and 28, closed quite successfully, although not considered up to the standard of last year, which eclipsed all previous records. The unpleasant weather was held responsible for the smaller attendance, and the earlier date was blamed for the smaller num- ber of exhibits. The queen of autumn was preeminent, although roses and carnations were strongly in evidence. The commercial element was well rep- resented by the Saltford Flower Shop, B. Willig and Valentine Burgevin's Sons, who were strong competitors with the several private gardeners, who made an excellent showing. The exhibit of vegetables was con- sidered the finest ever set up, both in quality and variety. The ornamental groups were splendidly arranged. The dinner tables brought out four competitors, each distinct. W. Allen, gardener for Fred W. Vanderbilt, deco- rated with Cattleya labiata and laven- der sweet peas. N. Harold Cottam used Ivory chrysanthemums. Walter Paritt, gardener for Miss Atwood, used outdoor flowers entirely, the centerpiece being white cosmos. This was much admired, owing to its simplicity and perfect arrangement. Mr. Paritt also secured first prize for the best collec- tion of vegetables, the prize being of- fered by A. T. Boddington. Burgevin's Sons swept the deck on roses, with Killarncy, White Killarney and Richmond. Saltford made a fine display with Canary Bird carnations and considers this variety the best yellow the firm has yet grown; it is a capital grower and ifree bloomer. They also had a grand lot of bay trees, arranged through the hall, which, with the overhead decora- tion of cedar- in place of bunting, as formerly used, made an excellent set- ting for the blooms staged beneath. The Julius Roehrs Co. had a grand exhibit of Celosia Pride of Castle Gould, which was greatly admired. The Saltford Flower Shop secured the entire collection. Fred Saenger, gardpncr for F. Ruenbold, was first on carnations, with the old favorites. Win- ger and Enchantress. A. Rogers, Hyde I'ark, gardener for T. P. Con- nors, was first on groups. H. .T. Osterhoudt, gardener for W^. P. Clyde, New Hamburg, N. Y., was first on specimen plants, well grown. N Hamld Cottom exhibited a small collection of orchids In bloom, complete and perfectly grown . James Blair, gardener for Ogden Mills, won first on cut flowers in largest variety. Mrs. G. L. Hoyt spciirod first on a finely ar- ranged basket of mums. Mrs. W. Paritt, first for baski't of mixed flowers. During the show Corjrad C. Gindra made an attractive display in his store window downtown, which, being close ay, caught the eye of the crowd. M. GLEN COVE, N. Y. The annual fall show of the Nassau County Horticultural Society was held in Pembroke hall, October 27 and 28. Chrysanthemums, of course, were the main attraction, but great interest was taken by the visitors in the fine display of outdoor flowers and single mums. The last named are certainly growing in favor everj' year. A surprise to many was the fine ex- hibit of pot-grown dahlias made by H. Matz, of this place; splendid plants, with perfect and large blooms, showing plainly the great future of dahlias grown in pots. Chrysanthemums were extra fine and competition was keen; in fact, it is doubtful whether better blooms will be seen at any other show this season. The judges were W. Turner, I. F. Huss and W. Scott.

The second annual flower sliow con ducted by the Kochestor Florists' Asso elation was opened Tuesday afternoon. November 1, with an address by Mayor H. H. Edgerton, who in a few pleasing remarks announced the exhibit open to the public. His Honor was followed by Geo. Deitrich, president of the Chamber of Commerce, who stated that he be- lieved no other city could conduct so successful a show with the commercial and advertising elements entirely re moved, and that it shows a remarkable feeling of "get together" and friend ship in the Rochester Florists' Associ ation. Among the guests at the opening were many gentlemen i)rominent in the business and public life of the city: President Lamberton, of the Park Com mission; Prof. Geo. M. Forbes, presi dent of the Board of Education; C. F. Carroll, superintendent of schools; Commissioner of Public Safety Charles Owen; President Dwyer, of "the Com mon Council; John Hall, secretary of the American Association of Nurserymen; F. B. King, Francis Mitchell, A. E. Crockett, George Eastman, George W. Crosman, H. E. Wilson and others. Immediately at the close of the open ing exercises the Fifty-fourth Regiment Band, conducted by Prof. Fred A. Zeit ler, played the first number on the con cert program, "The March of the Flow ers. " Band concerts were given eacli afternoon and evening, the musicians being stationed in a beautifully deco- rated booth on the main floor. During the intervals between the selections by the band, an orchestra of ten pieces furnished music in the Japanese gar den, which had been constructed in the annex to Convention hall. The musical program fOr each even- ing not only gave the visitors an oppor tunity of hearing first-class band and orchestral music, but furnished an added attraction by presenting a number of Rochester's favorite vocalists. Tuesday evening Mrs. Edgar Mcintosh, con tralto, delighted the visitors with four solos. Wednesday evening Bruce Wain man, barytone, gave a splendid render ing of ' ' lago 's Curse, ' ' from ' ' Othello. ' ' Thursday evening Mrs. Herbert Koehnle, recently of New York city, sang two pleasing soprano solos. One thing that made the show par- ticularly pleasing to the visitors was the fact that most of the members of the reception committee were men con nected directly with the growing of fiowers and plants, and under the direction of E. S. Osborn, chairman, the committee rendered valuable ser vice in naming plants, describing their November 3, 1010. The Weekly Florists' Review. J6 characteristics and answering many questions. No advertising of any kind was per- mitted in the hall, and the only cards shown were about 6x9 inches, bearing the name of the exhibitor, and the ad- dress if out of the city. As at the first show, the famous or- chid collection from the conservatories of Mrs. William H. Kimball attracted the lion's share of attention. The chrysanthemums from the private greenhouses of George Eastman and Hiram W. Sibley were excellent and the carload of plants, potted shrubs, ilwarf trees and cut flowers sent by Mrs. F. F. Thompson, of Canandaigua, made an exhibition in itself. Much of the material used in the Japanese gar- den came from Mrs. Thompson's con- servatories. The management was in the hands of Charles H. Vick as general chairman. E. S. Osborn had a staff of sixty-three on the reception committee. Other com- mittee chairmen were: Music, F. W. Vick; finance, W. L. Keller; advertis- ing, A. H. Salter; decoration, F. J. Keller; ushers, E. P. Wilson; conces- sions, George B. Hart. E. F. K. CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY. The Chrysanthemum Society of America is holding its annual exhibi- tion at Morristown, N. J., this week, in conjunction with the annual exhibition of the Morris County Gardeners' and Florists' Society. The joint exhibi- tions are staged at the Morris County Golf Club at Convent Station. It is quite the most extensive exhibition ever undertaken at the New Jersey gardening center. Arthur Herrington is chairman of the executive commit- tee and manager of the show. William Duckham, C. H. Totty and Robert Schultz constitute the exhibition com- mittee and many other well known flo- rists and gardeners are assisting. The prize list includes $3,000, besides the special prizes of the Chrysanthemum Society, and the exhibits include as highly finished chrysanthemums, roses, carnations and pot plants as are likely to be seen anywhere in America this season. As touching on the work of the Chrys- anthemum Society of America, at the annual meeting of that organization, President Elmer D. Smith said in part: "The membership is far too small when we consider the vast number in- terested in the queen of autumn. The desire to gain knowledge is apparent from the many inquiries showered in upon those conversant with such topics, and yet we seem unable to bring these inquirers within our fold. We should have 500 more enrolled as members of good standing. Will some one please suggest a plan to brinj about this end? No florist who grows any quantity of chrysanthemums can afford to remain aloof. He owes this obligation to him- .self for the practical knowledge that may be gained. At New York last year I suggested we consider the affilia- tion of this society with the Society of American Florists. I still believe it is our best course to take. We cer- tainly have nothing to lose, with the possibility of much to gain. I hope at this meeting^ the subject will be thoroughly discussed. "One change in the scale for judg- ing exhibition blooms has been pro- posed, reducing the number of points Elmer D. Smith. (President Chrysantliemum Society of America.) allotted to size and adding same to color. If such a course meets your approval, it should be remembered that size is quite an important factor in considering varieties which are suited for this purpose, and especially so if color or long necks prevent them from being considered from a commercial standpoint. If I were permitted to ex- press my views I would say color is of equal importance to fullness, form and depth, even from an exhibition point of view. Should you decide to make them equal, the new scale would then be: Color, 1.5; foliage, o; full- ness, 15; form, 15; depth, 15; stem, 5; size, 30. "The fine specimens displayed in the exhibition hall are positive proof there has been no retrogression, and it af- fords me great pleasure to know our course is upward and onward. Some ten years ago a worthy gentleman at one of the western shows, in responding to his toast, stated that the limit in size had been reached and it was folly to try to produce larger ones. I will leave it to you to decide the trutii of this statement by bringing to mind those shown at that time in comparison witii those before you today. As in the past, there are still many possibilities, soil that is still unturned, and so it be- hooves us to keep our eyes to the front and strive for greater achieve- ment. "This has been a very trying season in the development of chrysanthemums. In the middle west we had ten days in early March with the thermometer around the 80-degrce mark, and a cold April and May. Through June, July and August the weather was warm and the air very dry, with practically no pre- cipitation during these months. Octo- ber, the month for finishing, has been extremely warm for the buds to ex- pand freely, and many cases of burning have resulted therefrom. As near as 1 can learn, these conditions have pre- vailed to a certain degree throughout tlie country, so that many have suf- fered losing fine blooms. Hope is the anchor of the soul, and so we must wish for better conditions another year. "Since our last meeting one of the world's most prominent originators has passed to the great beyond, M. Ernst Calvat, of Grenoble, France. His prod- ucts have been popular both in England and A-merica. While most novelties are soon cast aside and later products take their places, yet there are several originated by this worthy raiser which have gladdened the hearts of all exhibitors and are today among the best for this purpose. I refer to such varieties as M. Loiscau Kousseau, Pres. Viger, Mme. Carnot. S. A. Naceur Bey, Chrysanthemiste Montigny and Pres. Loubet. ' ' Before adjournment wo should de- cide on the next meeting place, and I would suggest that our vice-president be selected from the same city or im- mediate vicinity. I wish to thank the members of the committees, who have given their time, regardless of other duties, to be on hand to examine seed- lings; I am assured these gentlemen are benefactors, not only to this so- ciety but to the growers at large, in pointing out such of the new creations as are best adapted to the various purposes. ' ' LENOX, MASS. There was a magnificent display of chrysanthemums and other flowers at the annual chrysanthemum show, held in the town hall by the Lenox Horti- cultural Society, October 26 and 27, and the attendance was so large as to be quite gratifying to the officers of the society. The competition in some sec- 14 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ NOVEMBElt lOlO. ]y. All they want is a light covering. Outdoors two or three inches extra covering makes no difference, but under glass, with artificial conditions, it is iliflferent. I would advise reducing tho water supply. Let tlio benches dry out well between waterings and keep the surface soil stirred. This will tend to sweeten, as well as warm it. Persevere in this treatment and I think your damping off will disappear. Do not keep tlu' house too liot and close. Give ventilation on e\erv favorable oppor- tunitv. ' C. W.

In the exhibit of miscellaneous plants arranged for effect, much interest was shown in the contest for the Henry A. Dreer silver cup, to be won twice be- fore becoming the property of an ex- hibitor. Last year a similar cup, offered by the same company, was won by Fred Heeremans, grower for William D. Sloane, and this year Mr. Heeremans won again, it being the third year in succession in which he has won this event. The Lenox chrysanthemum show is one of the few of which the national Chrysanthemum Society takes cogni- zance. This society offers a silver cup for the best ten chrysanthemum blooms of one variety. It was won by A. J. Loveless, grower for Mrs. John Sloane, who showed ten Eose Pockett. In the groups of orchids, not to exceed fifty square feet, A. J. Loveless won the award for the best group, and also the special prize offered by the Julius Roehrs Co., of Rutherford, N. J. Among the novelties were fine speci- mens of Nephrolepis exaltata superba, shown by Henry A. Dreer, and an excel- lent display of cypripediums and cat- tleyas from the Julius Eoehrs Co. Seedsmen who visited the show praised the vegetable class unstintedly. They say it was the finest they have seen anywhere this year. The cup of- fered by Eustace Jaques for a display of eighteen varieties of vegetables was taken by Edwin Jenkins, grower for Giraud Foster, of Belief ontaine. The president's cup, offered by George Foulsham, was won by S. Carlquist, grower for Mrs. Robert Winthrop. f ''^♦^.'♦^.'♦^.''•^a^v^^ SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS 1 Azaleas. The imported azaleas have recently been received and potted. Before pot- ting, the bulbs were well soaked in tubs of water, as some of them get quite dry in transit, which means a con- siderable loss of foliage. Plants for Easter must be kept as cool as possible. Anything just clear of absolute freez- ing is all right. Such as are wanted in flower for Christmas are now started in a house where an average minimum temperature of 60 to 65 degrees is main- tained. The hose is freely used among them and the atmosphere is kept quite humid. These moist conditions some- times cause the plants to start into growth. It is best to rub out any of these young growths. Two popular Christmas varieties, which have proved great sellers during the last two or three years, are Firefly, also called Hexe, crimson in color, and Charles Encke, pink. These are dwarf er in habit and carry smaller flowers than the general line of Indian azaleas. They also naturally flower rather earlier. Of the large-flowering class, Deutsche Perle will need but little forcing; Mme. Petrick, bright rose, is fine; Ver- vajneana can be liad in good shape for Christmas, as can Simon Mardner, silvery rose in color. Of tiie scarlets, Apollo can be had in flower if forced moderately. The color is just what is wanted at the holiday's. Storing Biennials or Perennials. There are quite a number of biennials and perennials which, while they may prove quite hardy in the southern states, cannot always be depended upon to come through a northern win- ter unscathed. Were we sure of getting a substantial snow blanket after Thanksgiving, which would lie until St. Patrick's day or thereabouts, there would be less need to store many of these plants in frames, but the uncer- tainty of our climate forbids our taking many risks of this kind. Even in states quite well north, such things as Canter- bury bells, foxgloves. Coreopsis grandi- flora, sweet williams and similar plants can be planted out in late fall and will wihter all right, but it is a good and safe plan to lift a good proportion of these plants now and plant quite closely in coldframes. Do not place any sashes over them for a while yet; it is sufficiently early to do this when we have had one or two quite sharp frosts, which have tightened the ground. Then scatter a light coating of perfectly dry leaves over the plants and place sashes over them. Air during warm weather and do not allow the leaves to get damp, Pansies, daisies, forget-me-nots, vio- las and other spring flowering subjects, whore they do not winter well in the open, sliould now be placed in cold- frames. There is one advantage in having them under glass, as it is then easy to advance their flowering period over tlie outdoor grown stock, and baskets of the aforementioned little plants are fine sellers in early spring; the growers who are able to get them on the market in good season are al- ways the best paid. Calendulas. Calendulas are of comparatively easy culture under glass. They may be com- mon, but their colors are pleasing, and in late winter or early spring the stores are glad to get a bunch or two of them. Calendulas do not need a warm house; 45 degrees at night will grow them well; 55 degrees is altogether too warm. They make a useful crop to follow chrysanthemums with, being best on a side bench. Sow the seeds rather thin- ly, as the plants spread quite a little, and thin out the seedlings if they come up too thickly anywhere. Orange King, deep orange, and Lemon Queen, lemon yellow, are two desirable sorts to grow. The plants will furnish flowers for sev- eral months. Berried Plants for Christmas, Christmas is the only holiday on which berried plants in pots meet with a ready sale. The principal varieties sold are ardisias, solanums, or Jerusa- lem cherries, and Christmas peppers. In order to have the stock really salable, it should be well grown and must have the fruit ripe. No matter how fine the plants may be, if the fruits are unripe, no one will buy them. A fine bench of ardisias was seen last year at a well known commercial place, which could not be moved — fine plants, capitally grown, but with fruit not half colored. This, of course, means a considerable loss to the grower. Ardisias are slow growing and must be retailed at a fair- ly high price, to allow any margin of profit. If the berries are still only partly colored, give them a warm, sunny house; 65 degrees at night is not too much and will help to ripen the fruit. In the case of solanums, there is rarely any trouble in ripening them. The same holds true of Christmas pep- pers. If the latter are a little late, give them a sunny bench and a night tem- perature of 55 to 58 degrees. The ber- ried solanums can, of course, be grown quite cold. Seedlings of the latter ripen later than plants raised from cut- tings. They are, however, more bushy, robust and in every way more desirable. Such as are planted outdoors and lifted are also far superior to pot-grown stock. Paper Whites and Roman Hyacinths. The earliest Paper Whites are now in flower. The call for bulbous stock is as yet light and a small pick will suffice for the demand. There are too many mums still in season. With the crop of them decreasing, the call for miscel- laneous flowers will improve. It is a good plan to place a batch of Paper Whites on the benches each week. Do not force them hard; 50 degrees at night will give you more satisfactory flowers than 60 degrees. When the flowers are expanded and until they are cut, keep them quite cool; 40 degrees at night will suffice. Roman hyacinths for Thanksgiving should be given a warm, moist house, 60 to 65 degrees at night; as they open, give 10 degrees less heat. Bambler Boses. The present is a suitable time to dig up and pot field-grown plants of any of the rambler roses wanted for forcing. No ball of earth is, of course, needed, but sa-ve as many roots intact as pos- sible. Pot firmly and use good, fibrous loam, to which has been added some well-decayed manure and fine bone. Keep the plants outdoors yet for a week or two, until frost of sufficient severity to break the pots comes along. Then it is a good plan to protect the pots with straw for a time and not move them under cover until really severe, snowy weather compels it. Of course, the flowers from these dug-up plants are not equal to those on pot- grown stock, but they will flower well if not forced too early and, of course, Easter is the time when this class of rose is mostly in demand. If purchasing rambler roses, do not limit your varieties to'Crimson Rambler and the so-called Baby Rambler. The former is less popular than it was; pink varieties sell far better. Dorothy November 3, lulO. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 17 Rose Hilda, the Deeper Pink Sport of My Maryland. Perkins, Farquhar and Lady Gay are all fine; Hiawatha, single, scarlet, and Wedding Bells are beauties. Be sure to get a few of the beautiful Tausend- schon, which will sell on sight. Leuch- stern, with its apple-blossom colored flowers, is also a. charming thing. General Outdoor Work. In many sections rain is still sorely needed and the extreme dryness of the soil is seriously delaying fall planting. As to hardy perennials, it is now rather late to move peonies, but nearly all other varieties can still be planted and they will give a far better account of themselves if moved now than in April. About all perennials succeed better if replanted every third year, and all ap- preciate ground which has been well manured and deeply plowed or spaded. Far too many put off this work until spring, when a host of other duties crowd. Planting in early November will give vastly better results than planting in April. Try both plans and be convinced. With a few exceptions, deciduous shrubs can now be moved with perfect safety. Perhaps in the coldest states, fall planting of these, owing to the early freezing of the ground, may be undesirable, but there can be no ques- tion that over a wide stretch of country much of the work usually postponed until spring would be more profitably done now. With dry soil, of course, watering is necessary. Soak the roots thoroughly and firm the soil well and few plants will fail to grow. The one great danger from fall planting is in an insufficient supply of moisture at the roots before tlie ground freezes up tight. Shrubs with roots dry when tlie soil freezes will probably die if no winter thaws allow water to reach the roots. In the case of evergreens, dry- ness at the root causes far more deaths than winter's cold. Even with valu- able plants, which are not to be moved, it is an excellent plan to soak the roots well before winter sets in, unless copious rains reach them. HILDA, SPORT OF MARYLAND. It will be recalled that Myers & Samtman, of Chestnut Hill, Pa., were among the first large growers to take up My Maryland rose and plant it ex- tensively. From the first time they saw Maryland growing at the Balti- more establishment of John Cook, they never have lost faith in the variety; after their first season with it they de- clared it to be the most profitable rose they ever had grown, and when a deeper, darker pink sport appeared at their place it was welcomed with much joy. After working up considerable stock they gave it the name Hilda, and now are cutting some splendid blooms. The accompanying illustration is repro- duced from a photograph made of some flowers shipped from Chestnut Hill to the A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, who are the western representatives of My- ers & Samtman. The flowers were shipped on Monday, reached Chicago Wednesday and were photographed on Thursday afternoon; some of them were good enough on Saturday evening so that they were worn to the theater. Tliese blooms were on stems from thirty to forty inches in length and had the Maryland characteristics coupled with much deeper color. As the vase stood on the counters of the Randall Co. the flowers were examined by many retail- ers and growers, who invariably passed favorable comment on the variety. It is said that Myers & Samtman grow it on solid beds. STOCKS NOT FLOWERING. My stocks. Princess Alice, do not bloom. They are nice, bushy plants, about one foot high, but no signs of flowers are to be seen. What can I do with them? Can they be trans- planted inside, or potted up? What is the best thing to do with them! W. F. It would not pay you to lift the stocks. They cannot be taken up with a ball, as they make few fibrous roots. Of course you could pot them and prob- ably get them to live after losing a lot of foliage, but the returns will not pay for the trouble. My advice would be to sow seed of some of the better forcing varieties, such as Beauty of Nice, White Column or early ten weeks'. These will flower in early spring, at the time when the flowers will be quite salable, much more so than in midwinter.

A fine bench of ardisias was seen last year at a well known commercial place, which could not be moved — fine plants, caiiitally grown, but with fruit not half colored. This, of course, means a considerable loss to the grower. Ardisias are slow growing and must be retailed at a fair ly high jirice, to allow any margin of [irofit. Jf the berries are still only partly coloreti, give them a warm, sunny house; U.j degrees at night is not too much and will help to ri[ien the fruit. In the case of solanums, there is rarely any trouble in ripening them. The same holds true of Christmas pep- jiers. If the latter are a little late, giv<' them a sunny bench and a night tem ]>erature of 55 to 58 degrees. The ber ried solanums can, of course, be grown quite cold. ISeedliugs of the latter ripen later than plants raised from cut- tings. They are, however, more bushy, robust and in every way more desirable. Such as are planted outdoors and lifted are also far superior to pot-grown stock. Paper Whites and Roman Hyacinths. The earliest I'aper Whites are now in flower. The call for bulbous sto(dv is as yet light and a small ])ick will suffice for the demand. Theri^ are too many mums still in season. With the crop of them decreasing, the call for miscel- laneous flowers will improve. It is a good plan to jilace a batch of Paper Whites on the benches each week. Do not force them hard; 50 degrees at night will give you more satisfactory fiowers than (iO degrees. When the flowers are expanded and until they are cut, keep them (juite cool; 4U degrees at night will suffice. Konian hyacinths for Thanksgiving should be given a Avarni. moist house, (5(1 to (i5 degrees at night; ;is they ofien, give 10 degrees less heat. Rambler Roses. 'J'he present is a suitable time to dig up and pot fi(dd grown plants of any of the rambler roses wanted for forcing. Xo ball of earth is, of course, needed, but sa'xc as many roots intact as pos sible. I'ot firmly and use good, fibrous loam, to which has been added some well (lecaNH'il manure and fine l)one. Keep the plants outdoors yet for a w(>ek or two. until frost of sufficient seveiitv to lir(>ak the jiots comes along. Then it is a good plan to jirotect the pots with straw for a time and not move them under cover until really scnere, snowy weather compels it. Of course, the fiowers from these dug up plants are not equal to those on jtot- grown stock, but they will flower well if not forced too early and, of course. Easter is the time wlien this (dass of rose is mostly in demand. If purrdiasing rambler roses, do not limit your varidies to Crimson Kainbler and the socalled P.aby Kambler. Tlie former is less ]iopular than it w.as; pink varieties s(dl f;ir better. Horothv NuVKMHKK o, litlU. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 17 Rose Hilda, the Deeper Pink Sport of My Maryland.

Y., has just sent out a rather unique advertise- ment in the shape of a Japanese ban- ner. It was printed on yellow paper, shaped like a banner, the upper end pasted on a 3-inch piece of match stick and the lower corners clipped a bit. On one side were the so-called Japanese characters and on the other the "trans- lation." They are here reproduced in one column for economy of space: ^THE characters on ^ the other side of this paper are Japa- nese and we have taken a great deal of pains to have the char- acters printed and translated into Eng- lish. The first two constitute the word * ' Chrysan - themum , ' ' the next two "Exhi- bition," the next one "at," the last four VBinley'a." It there- fore reads thus : " Chrysan th e m u m Exhibition at B i n - ley's." As we have enlarged our plant the past sea- son we would respect- fully invite all lovers of this Japanese Flower to come and see our display. We have Giant Chrysanthe- mums, Baby Chrysanthe- mums, Single Chrysanthe- mums, Double Chrysanthe- mums, Incurv-ed, Crimped, Fluted and all other kinds, together with a nice stock of those beautiful Lace Ferns, Palms, Araucarias, Rubber Plants, etc. , and we shall be pleased to see you during the week commencing No- vember 1st. BINLEY THE FLORIST 2S Grant Afenne V V I YELLOW TOUSET. I noticed in The Eeview for October 27 that a subscriber wants to know if there has ever been a true yellow sport of Mme. C. Touset introduced into the trade. A true yellow sport of this va- riety originated at our North Side Greenhouses, at Columbus City, Ind., in 1909. We now have thirty plants and by next year hope to have a good stock of this variety worked up. It is one of the finest yellows we ever have had and is a good seller and has the other good qualities of its parent stock. D. C. Noble. J. A. Budlong, Chicago, has a yellow sport of Touset, which has been this season one of the best selling cut blooms for this firm. The flower at certain stages of development has the same pinkish tinge in the center that is characteristic of Touset, but in other stages is clear yellow. STOCK BECOMES MIXED. I have had a peculiar experience this fall and should like to get your opinion on the matter. I have been growing Golden Glow chrysanthemums for two years previous to this and they have come all right in color. I have also had, perhaps, twenty-five plants of Pink Pacific. I was careful to keep all the clumps separate and labeled in the tak- ing of cuttings. I also labeled them all in the cutting bench and in trans- planting them to the flats of soil. I only wanted a few pinks and all the rest yellow, but now, as they begin to show color, they are all coming pink and white. I planted them on a solid bench June 15, and took the first bud August 23. Now, what is the reason for thisT Are they a sport which reverts back, and will I have to get new clumps to start anew ngain next spring! C. E. Y. There seems to be no question what- ever but that C. E. Y.'s stock has be- come mixed. My reason for thinking that he must have made a mistake, is because yellows do not sport to pink and white. Yellow is supposed to be the original color of the chrysanthemum, and when a chrysanthemum sports, as it often does, it will run from pink to white and from white to yellow in an endeavor to get back to the primary color, but I do not at this moment re- call any instance where a yellow has sported any other color. The foliage of Golden Glow and Pink Pacific is entirely distinct and C. E. Y. should be easily able to.see which varie- ties the plants resemble. It would be an easy matter for the Pink Pacific to be sporting white this year, as it has done so on many occa- sions, Polly Eose and several others having come from Pacific as the par- NOVBMBEB 3, 1910. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 19 ent. The only supposition that seems to me to explain the situation is that the Golden Glow stock has died out completely and some of the Pacific have sported to white. As before stated, it is against botanical history, unless I greatly mistake, for a yellow to sport to pink or white. Chas. H. Totty. FLOWERS FADING. Can you tell me what is the matter with my Glory of Pacifies? We are growing them outdoors, under canvas. They were the most vigorous grower among the fifteen varieties planted; when about one-third open they were a beautiful shade of pink, but when in full bloom a pure white. In fact, the most popular white among my custom- ers. When in bud I gave them a 2-inch mulch of horse manure. Could that have affected the color? T. O. It is by no means unusual for Glory of Pacific to fade, although it does not often bleach out, as this correspondent says, to a pure white. I do not con- sider that the mulch of horse manure affected the color, but the sun most cer- tainly does, and in an autumn as bright as this has been it would appear that this is the solution of the problem. Anyone who watches his flowers closely in a greenhouse can see them fade from' day to day, and especially with pink varieties the color of which seems to be of an evanescent nature. C. H. T. SCALE ON PLX7MOSUS. I am sending a leaf of Asparagus plumosus and wish you would tell me whether there is mealy bug on it. It does not look like mealy bug, as the specks seem to be finer. The foliage all turns brown and dies after a time. Can you tell me what the trouble is, and the remedy? L. H, T. The asparagus in question is suffering from white scale, a pest that is not easy to eradicate on such a plant. Try dipping in a solution of Ivory soap, the solution to consist of one ounce of the soap to one gallon of water. Two or three applications of this remedy, at in- tervals of about three days, should kill the scale. After dipping, lay the plant on its side to drain, as it would not be good for the roots if much of the soap solution should run down into the soil. W. H. T. FORMS FOR CONCRETE. Since freshly mixed concrete is a plastic material, forms of some kind are necessary to hold it in place and in shape until the cement sets up and the concrete becomes hard. Lumber is the material most commonly used. The first requisite of good forms is that they should be tight, so that the liquid cement may not run out between the cracks, cause pockets or hollows, and thus ruin the looks of the work as well as decrease its strength. Conse- quently straight boards are most de- sirable. Dressed lumber is usually straightest and yields a neater finish to the concrete. But for ordinary pur- poses rough lumber is sufficiently good. Naturally the siding must be stiff enough not to bulge out of shape when the forms are first filled with concrete. This does not mean that heavy siding These Are the Little Liners That Do the Business is necessary. In fact, 1-inch boards are usually sufficiently strong. The bulging may be prevented by setting 2x4 stud- ding from twenty to thirty inches apart, according to the thickness of siding boards or sheathing used. Most concrete work is built in what is known as the box form, which, with variations, consists of one box within another, between which the concrete walls are molded. See that the forms are lined up properly before beginning to fill them, as they must not be dis- turbed aiter the concrete is in place. If new forms are wet, before the concrete is placed, and allowed to re- main in position until it has thorongUj set, bits of concrete will seldom stick to them. For particular work, or where forms are to be used more than once, it is advisable to coat them, previous to erection, with soft soap or oil. Lin- seed, black or cylinder oil is suitable, but kerosene is not good. Upon taking down the forms, immediately clean off all bits of concrete clinging to them. For this purpose a short-handled hoe is convenient, but it must be used with care, so as not to gouge the wood. All other things being equal, the strength of concrete is dependent upon its density or compactness. Where pos- sible, the easiest way to render con- crete dense is by mixing and placing it wet. For very wet concrete the forms must be tight, so that the liquid cement cannot escape. To give a neat finish to the surfaces which will later be exposed, force the larger stones back from the outside by running a straight spade or a wooden paddle down in the concrete next to the wall forms and working it back and forth. It frequently happens that very wet concrete cannot be used. To make it drier, mix dense and strong; tamp or ram it into place with a heavy wooden or iron tamper. Exposed surfaces of freshly placed concrete should be shaded to protect them from rain, dust and the hot rays of the sun. Freezing injures freshly placed concrete. Hot water and salt are sometimes used to counteract the frost action; but, on the whole, it is better to attempt no outside work in winter. During the early months of spring and fall see that no frozen sand, gravel or rock is used in the work. In summer ordinary forms, for walls sup- porting no loads, may be removed after the concrete is three days old, but in cooler weather they should not be touched short of five days. 20 The Weekly Florists' Review^ NOVDMBEK 3, 1910. CATTLEYA BUDS ROTTING. Can you advise me in reference to Cattleya labiata? My plants make fine, healthy sheaths; the buds grow up in the sheaths from one to two inches and then stand still and rot, the sheath remaining in an apparently healthy condition. It seems as if too much water had been given at some stage of development. Will repotting into new fiber help them? G. B. The sheath forwarded was a fine one and contained five buds which were quite rotten. You evidently have strong plants, as this is more than the average number of flowers C. labiata produces per sheath, though occasion- ally six are produced and in exceptional cases seven. All cattleyas want a good water supply until the bulbs are made up. This is before the flower buds be- gin to push up in the sheaths. Cat- tleyas may have no real resting period, but it is imperative that the supply of moisture at the roots should be gradually decreased before any buds show through the sheaths, and they need little water while the buds are developing or while the flowers are open. It is a common error to give an abundant water supply while they are in bloom, growers thinking that this will keep the flowers fresh longer and improve their quality. The reverse is the case. From the time the bulbs are made up until new growths are nicely started, cattleyas want a light water supply and it is safer to err on the dry side. The fleshy bulbs in themselves, if cut oflf, will keep the flowers fresh as long as though they were placed in water. The same is true of coelogynes, dendro- biums and other orchids. Repotting of cattleyas should be done after the flowering season is over and just before new growth commences. Your plants may or may not require repotting. As a general thing, they are better if they get an overhaul each season. This Avill not prevent rotting in the sheaths, but will be good for the plants. Too much water at the roots is undoubtedly the cause of your trouble. Reduce the supply considerably another year when the bulbs are well plumped up and you should have no further loss of this kind. Quite a few growers have the same trouble, from too much heat, too much root moisture and insufficient ventilation. The ventilators on the cat- tleya house should be open both night and day as late in the season as pos- sible, and even in midwinter it is pos- sible to leave bottom air on, except on the coldest nights. Plenty of fresh air is what cattleyas like, and a position as near the glass as possible. Add to this careful watering, firm potting and a winter minimum temperature of 55 de- grees and the bulk of the regular com- mercial varieties will do well. C. WATER VS. OIL. There is only one place where water is at a premium and that place is on the desert. There water is worth as much if not more than oil, and there only. Water is the cheapest ingredient that can be put into paint, and the most de- ceiving as well; for very few people imagine that water and oil will mix. Contrary to the old adage, water and oil do mix by chemical action, through the assistance of a powerful alkali, making an emulsion of oil. Paint made in this manner must necessarily be much cheaper than that made with pure linseed oil and turpen- tine, and its use is always at the ex- pense of the house owner. It cannot last any longer than com- mon whitewash, and the labor of apply- ing is just as great as for first-class paint. When this inferior paint begins to deteriorate, it leaves the wood bare in spots, and it costs money to remove it; so that "the last state of that house was worse than the first." Seventy per cent of the cost of paint- ing a house is the labor. Can anyone afford to use a paint that does not state in plain language, on every can, its true contents? — Patton's Monthly. PRINCETON, N. J. Stockton & Howe have nearly 40,00U feet of glass, devoted to roses, with calla lilies and Adianturii hybridum as side crops. Their latest house, 55x316, is planted with Richmond and Killarney in solid beds. Three older houses, 21x 310 each, are filled with roses in raised benches — two with Brides, the third with their new rose, Princeton. The front bench of their north side propa gating house is planted with Adiantum hybridum and a corridor house with calla lilies, just coming into bloom. The plants are all looking well, promising to uphold the firm's reputation for high grade stock during the coming season. The heating is by hot water from a Pierson sectional boiler and by steam; the two systems are working together, the former being used in severe weath er, while the steam is used in mild weather and for emergencies. Mr. Stockton prefers steam. Water is pumped from two artesian wells, each having a capacity of twelve gallons per minute, into an elevated tank. A com- pression tank is also used to give power for syringing. The product of this place is handled by Berger Bros., of Philadelphia. The flowers are packed in wooden trays, made of spruce three-eighths of an inch thick. The spruce is sawed in a mill into strips five feet long and six inches wide; each box is twelve inches wide and six inches high. After being unpacked, the spruce strips are taken apart, fastened in bundles and shipped back by freight, an economical and most satisfactory method. Phil. Oneonta, N. Y. — B. Ackley has added a conservatory to his dwelling, making an excellent show house. He is replac- ing wood with concrete, and intends adding a house for carnations. VALLEY IN COLDFRAMES. Can you give me cultural directions for lily of the valley in coldframes, so as to have a succession of flowers, be- ginning in the early spring? E. A. P. Any well built w^ood or brick frame will answer your purpose. It is essen- tial that it should be of sufficient depth to allow a foot of warm manure for the earliest batches. After April no bottom heat is necessary. A bed of clean sand, six inches thick, is the best and clean- est material to plant the pips in. It is an advantage to have this sand moder- ately coarse, rather than fine. Let the pips, when planted, be twelve to eigh- teen inches from the glass. For the first ten to fourteen days, or even longer for the first batches, keep the glass dark- ened with boards or cloth. Gradually irure the plants to light, in order to get some foliage. Do not use any water after the flowers start to expand, as they are liable to damp. A fresh batch should be started every week, and one sash with a close division should be set apart for each. A frame of half a dozen sashes would suffice if you wanted only a moderate quantity. The pips can be planted quite thickly in the sand and the same sand can be used as often as desired. The pips do not make any roots while being forced. A strong bottom heat should be accom- panied by a much lower atmospheric heat. For instance, in forcing valley at a bottom heat of 80 to 85 degrees, the heat above should not exceed 55 de grees. If it were 80 to 85 degrees, the stems would be thin, spindling and of poor quality. It takes longer to get the flowers in the lower temperature, but you get the quality as a compensa- tion. C. W.

Thomas, proprietor of the Central Willamette Floral Co., sees a bright outlook for the trade in this section and is preparing to put up a range of glass large enough to do more than supply the needs of his own retail store, so that he can cater to the whole- sale demand in both cut flowers, bloom- ing and ornamental plants. In addition, he has outdoor space for field-grown rose plants and similar stock. At present a store and a small amount of glass are operated along the lines on which ex- pansion is proposed. Watertown, Wis. — George Benke has been succeeded by the firm of Benke Bros. Missoula, Mont. — Chas. F. Dallman has removed from the Higgins building to a store in the Montana block. Naugatuck, Conn. — H. G. Dennison, of Union City, has sold his greenhouses to H.'L. Hamilton, of Rockville. Amesbury, Mass. — Herbert G. Leslie has built an addition to his greenhouses, on Main street. The addition includes a boiler room. Wobum, Mass. — The greenhouses of .T. Howard, at the Lexington and Wo- bum line, were damaged by fire on the night of October 20. The shed where the gasoline engine was housed was destroyed, and a part of a greenhouse. Albany, N. Y. — Greenhouses are to be erected in the rear of the residence of George C. Hawley, 994 Madison avenue. The palm house is to be twenty feet high and the other houses sixteen feet high, with walls of vitrified brick. Attica, N. Y. — Anton J. Pauly, for- merly head florist at Frederick C. Stev- ens' Maplewood Stock Farm, has re- signed that position. He has some greenhouses of his own, which hereafter will demand most of his attention. Helena, Mont. — The Florists' and Nurserymen's Association of Montana continues to make steady progress and the latest additions to its membership are as follows: James King, of the Butte Floral Co.; Victor Larson, with the State Nursery Co., and M. L. Tip- pin and E. W. Horton, with the Mon- tana Nursery Co. St. Joseph, Mo. — Fred Krumm, of the Krumm Bros. Floral Co., was recently the victim of an assault which proved almost fatal. While seated in a bed- room connected with the greenhouses, on Hansen avenue, at a late hour in the evening, he was struck in the back of the head by someone who had entered unnoticed. Mr. Krumm fell to the floor and was unconscious for half an hour. His brother, Henry Krumm, was sleep- ing in the same room, but was not awakened. Minneapolis, Minn. — The Central Flo- ral Co., at the corner of Twenty-sixth and Central avenues, has invested $5,- 000 in the construction of greenhouses, so that the firm is now able to supply its customers with blooms and plants of its own growing. The greenhouses con- tain three 175-foot benches of carna- tions and three 150-foot benches of roses, besides some good sized beds of violets, chrysanthemums and other stock. Connected with the greenhouses is a boiler house, 18x32, with a cement basement, in which a fifty horse-power boiler has been installed. 22 The Weekly Florists^ Review* NOVBMBBB 3, 1910.

The flower markets all have showed a little better tone in the last week. The weather is the greatest single factor in this business. Four of the largest flower shows to be held this season will be in progress in the west next week. It makes it hard for exhibitors. There has been a sharp drop in the price of window glass. Some big orders have been placed this week much below recent quotations. There is prospect of a comparative shortage of chrysanthemums for Thanks- giving. Early midseason and late sorts have all been on the market at the same time and many growers had cut the larger part of their crop before October's end. C. S. Baenett, who in addition to being a florist and chrysanthemum spe- cialist is superintendent and county ex- aminer of the public schools at Eureka Springs, Ark., advises that the Civic Im- provement Association there will hold its eighth annual flower show this week, November 4 and 5. OBITUABY. Mattliew N. Enox. Matthew N. Knox, 71 years old, a re- tired nurseryman of San Antonio, Tex., died recently at his home, 1702 North Comal street, after an illness of six months. He was born in Mississippi, September 6, 1839, and removed to Brenham, Tex., in 1860. He was mar- ried February 22, 1862, and enlisted that summer in the Twentieth Texas Confederate Infantry, serving to the close of the war. He made his home in San Antonio in 1868, engaged in the nursery business in 1876 and continued his active connection with the trade until four years ago. He was a member of the Southern Methodist Church and Albert Sidney Johnston Camp, United Confederate Veterans. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Anna W. Knox, and four children, Ed- ward W. and William J. Knox, of San Antonio; Mrs. C. W. Palma, of Chicka- sha, Okla.; Mrs. C. F. Goodenough, Jr., of Sutherland Springs, and a sister, Mrs. Allan Harris, of Batesville. John Grant. John Grant, a florist and farmer of Portsmouth, N. H., died at the Cottage hospital, in that city, October 22, after a long illness. He was 67 years old. For forty years or more he had con- ducted greenhouses on his farm and had built up a good business. He is survived by two brothers, D. W. Grant, of Portsmouth, and C. M. Grant, of Haverhill, and by three sisters, Mrs. M. E. Joaquin, Mrs. Lydia McClusky and Mrs. Clara Gillett, all of Minne- apolis, Minn. FAILURES IN ENGLAND. What the trade press in England has said about dwindling profits of florists, nurserymen and gardeners in that coun- try seems hardly borne out by the gov- ernment reports on business failures in these trades. Close records are kept, from which it appears that in the last five years there were only 204 failures, involving total liabilities of $1,007,250, the English pound being figured as $5 in the following record: Year. Failures. LlablUtles. 1905 31 $135,326 1906 32 811,715 1907 45 177,835 1908 48 219,056 1909 48 168,820 This makes an average liability for each of the 204 failures of only £987, or, in round figures, $4,900. Similar figures are not available for the United States, but if they were it is to be doubted if they would make an equally good showing, certainly not in number of failures, and probably not in percentage of failures as compared with the numbers engaged in the flo- rists, nursery and gardening business, or in the smallness of the average liabil- ities. And this in spite of the fact that the period covered includes the most prosperous years the rapidly expanding horticultural trades of this country ever have experienced.

Following a week of abnormally high temperature came three days much colder than usual; at the greenhouses readings as low as 18 degrees were reported on the morning of October 28, and outdoor flowers are now out of the running for this season. Since the cold snap the temperature has moderated and then taken another sharp drop. The flower business has not yet recov- ered its equilibrium. There was good business October 29 and 31, but de- mand was light the first two days of November. The chrysanthemum continues to dominate the market. Receipts are heavy, but there is a change since a week ago; Bonnaffon and the later, larger and better varieties, such as Eaton, are coming in, so that better prices are being received without there having been any special change in the NOVBMiBBB 3, 1910.

The growers of Beauties and roses have learned that the chrysanthemum season is not the best time for other flowers and they are working their crops as far as possible to get the heaviest cut before chrysanthemum time, and later. The result is that the market is not overloaded with Beauties and roses to the extent that it usually is during the chrysanthemum season. Better prices are being ob- tained than frequently has been the case in other years. Beauties actually are on the short side; not that orders are cut, but that Beauties are not press- ing for a market. Some wonderfully fine Killarney, White Killarney and Maryland are now received, stock that readily commands a special figure, though it is not every buyer who can use such goods. Richmond is not as abundant as the other varieties. There is much difference in the qual- ity of the carnations cut by the dif- ferent growers. Some are strictly first- class, while others are as yet cutting only short stems. The market for carnations is not strong, though it is better than during the hot weather. The supply of carnations so far this season has certainly been ahead of all previous records and the prices real- ized have been below normal. At the close of last week violet ship- ments were much reduced, but they are now heavier again. The best grade of goods has commanded an advance in price and the wholesalers are hopeful that the violet market has once more come into its normal winter course. A few sweet peas are arriving, much ear- lier than in other years. Orchids have gone off crop and the price of cattleyas has been advanced. At the opening of this week there was a flurry in valley. Easter lilies are once more abundant. A few good daisies are seen. The green goods market remains quiet.

October did not fulfill the hopes of the wholesalers. The first part of the month was fair, or better, but the lat- ter part of the month brought a dis- couraging two weeks, during which the sales of the majority of the houses fell off to a marked extent in spite of a considerable increase in the quantity of stock handled. There was some im- provement at the end of the month and a fairly good run of business for All Saints' day, most of these orders com- ing in October 29, but All Saints' day is no longer what it was in years gone by; the wholesalers fear it never again will have its old-time importance, ex- cept in a year when the southern growers meet misfortune with their outdoor crop.

The temperature during the first twenty-six days was almost continuously above the normal. The only cold days were October 28 and 29, on the latter of which the first killing frost of the autumn occurred, two weeks later than is usual. The precipitation Tvas below the normal, and about sixty- two per cent of the total amount fell during the daytime. The wind move- ment was slightly deficient, and the amount of sunshine somewhat greater than usual for October. Various Notes. E. C. Amling calls attention to the fact that chrysanthemum growers early this week caught up with their crops. and that the stock since sent in shows that the mums are no longer pressing for a market. E. B. Washburn and one of his friends in the real estate business are at work upon a project for a florists' building at the corner of Randolph and Market streets. It is thought that a saving in money with increased facili ties can be shown to wholesalers, and space in the building can be provided for the entire market interests. H. A. Philpott arrived from Winni peg October 31 to remain until after the close of the flower show. Mr. Phil- pott is vice-president of the Florists' Club and chairman of the flower booth committee. Some of his friends sug- gest that, although he is a suburban member, his record of attendance, hav- ing missed only two meetings within the year, entitles him to a promotion at the next election. .\s a matter of fact, not many members can say that they have attended ten of the last twelve regular meetings. C. W. McKellar says there will now be a shortage of cattleyas until the next crop comes. The E. Wienhoeber Co. has distributed its annual booklet, "Engagements," which is without doubt the highest class of any advertising matter issued by American retail florists. The illustra- tions are splendid examples of the art of printing in colors. At Kyle & Foerster's, F. F. Benthey says the crop at their New^ Castle place will be just right for Thanksgiving. Phil Schupp says he does not see how the vegetable growers can have made any money this year on their catch \ 26 The Weekly Florists^ Review* NOVBMBBR 3, 1910.

The Batavia Greenhouse Co., with greenhouses and retail store at Batavia and wholesale store in the Flower Growers' Market, has just increased its capital stock from $8,000 to $12,000. Although W. J. Smyth's store, being enlarged, is all torn up, he had one of the biggest days of the season October 31, with a large wedding and two funerals. Peter Eeinberg is contemplating the purchase of a motor truck to bring the stock in from the greenhouses, replac- ing the two teams now used. John Kruchten reports that one of his growers has recently taken up the forcing of valley, intending to make it a specialty. Valley growing has been in the hands of an exceedingly small number in the last year or two. Miss Josephine Then had a leading part in the farce, "What Became of Pauline?" recently presented by the Young Men's Sodality of St. Clement's church. October 29 Hoerber Bros, began cut- ting Bonnaffon, their first crop from a part of the new greenhouses. N. C. Moore & Co., of Morton Grove, have been hauling water in a tank wagon for nearly a week, the wells hav- ing failed. H. C. WiflBn, of Des Plaines, is suf- fering with rheumatism. He has given up the winter-flowering sweet peas, which he grew extensively last year, and says they dropped the buds too easily to be a dependable crop. Paul Blome has been on the sick list for a week or more. Kennicott Bros. Co. reports that the first shipment of Bonnaffon from George Bayer, of Toledo, arrived Octo- ber 31, several days earlier than usual. Wietor Bros, say they did quite their usual business with New Orleans for All Saint's day. Vaughan & Sperry say that boxwood has become a peculiarly difficult propo- sition, but that recent shipments have been of much better quality than much of the stock seen in the market last year. The George Wittbold Co. will fur- nish and put up 150 cases of wild smilax at the flower show. The biggest flower show sign is on the east side of the Atlas block. It spreads over space of Winterson's seed store, Zech & Mann, Hoerber Bros, and George Eeinberg. W. N. Eudd is away on a trip of inspection of some of the western ex- periment stations.

It consists of two electric pumps, discharging at the rate of 115 gallons per minute for each pump. The water goes into a big pneumatic tank, which maintains a pressure sufficient for syringing, and the pumps start automatically when- ever the pressure goes below the re- quired point. It is understood the Am- ling Co. will supply water for some of the neighboring greenhouses. The Riverbank Co., Chicago, has been incorporated, with $2,500 capital stock, to do a general horticultural business. The incorporators are Charles .1. O'Con- nor, J. Weilby and K. Kelly. At Marquette park a range of ten houses, each 18x100, is being erected for the propagation of stock for use in the south side parks. Two Kroeschell hot water boilers will be installed of such large capacity that it appears an addition must be looked forward to.

Two carloads of azaleas have just been re- ceived and are rapidly being potted up. James Hancock, who is Mr. Oechslin 's right-hand man, said that celosia has been a remarkably good seller this year and that dracaenas are becoming more popular everj- day. The mum pot plants are now in full bloom and Pan- danus Veitchii looks good. The same may be said of the several houses of small ferns. The John C. Moninger Co. is pre- paring to use additional space in the old American Malting Co. building, two floors of which they have occupied since last winter. The additional space will be devoted principally to the rap- idly growing heating department. The improvements include a large freight elevator and a traveling crane for load- ing and unloading cars on the siding. It is said that by the new method it will be possible to unload a car of piping in an hour and a half, includ- ing the placing of the pipe in whatever space is allotted to it.

The Market. After one of the greatest gluts the flower trade has known at the end of October in late years, due in chief measure to the unprecedented spell of Indian summer weather, the tide took a turn for the better October 29 and the market cleaned up better than for some weeks. The cooler weather proved welcome, for both producers and retailers were getting somewhat disgusted and discouraged. Never be- fore was there such an outpouring of chrysanthemums in October. Early, midseason and late sorts all seemed to be in at once. It is hoped the worst is now over and that better business may be expected. The probability is that mums will be worth good money for Thanksgiving, as some growers have now cut three-fourths of their en- tire crop. Prices on mums have not materially improved, but they are moving much better. Bonnaffon is now abundant; so are the Ivorys. These old-timers still retain all their popularity. Beatrice May, Halliday, Golden Eagle, Touset and President Taft are seen in quan tity. The latter is not liked, its stem being too weak and petals too soft. Quite a number of the single and pom pon varieties are seen in bunches and sell quite well. Carnations have recovered from the slough of despond, in which they were a week ago, and are selling better. Roses, with the cooler weather, are coming of better quality. Their sales were discouraging while the warm weather persisted. Killarney and White Killarney are still easily the leaders. Beauties are better than they were. Some nice Mrs. Aaron Ward, Safrano and Bon Silene are also seen. Violets, which have been of poor quality, are improving a little, singles being better than doubles. Several growers are shipping sweet peas of good quality and they are selling well. Bouvardia Humboldtii continues to come in and is one of the most popu- lar flowers on the market. Cosmos Lady Lenox is seen on some of the stands of good quality. Lily of the valley varies much in quality and is only selling moderately well. Some of it shows evidence of overforcing and is soft. Lilies are now all longiflo- rums and move quite well. Gardenias are not plentiful and sell as well as anything coming in. Orchids are get- 30 The Weekly Florists^ Review* November 3, 1910.

The frost has killed the competition of out- door flowers, but many more green- house blooms have taken their place, so there is no decrease in the amount of stock on hand. Stock other than white seems to be in request, but does not bring unusual prices. The general level of prices is low for the time of the year. Everyone is expecting an improvement in a short time. Chrysanthemums have the largest share of whatever demand there is for flowers. In spite of the many sold, they bring only fair prices. Many move in job lots at buyer's offer. The choice blooms do not sell as readily as a week ago, while smaller ones sell a little more quickly than they did at that time.

White and American ■ Beauties seem to have little charm for the buyers. The supply of carnations slackened just about two-thirds immediately after the frost and colder weather set in, but even at that they were not scarce, and the balance of supply and demand held prices at a normal point. Beports from some of the growers state that by the time this paper reaches the readers they will again have quan- tities to offer. Other stock is plentiful, but finds slow sale. Longiflorum lilies seem to have been hit hardest by the influx of chrysanthemums, which has coaxed away a large part of the demand for lilies. Lily of the valley is plentiful, but sells slowly. Both single and double violets are now good in quality, and, although they sold slowly the early part of last week, later they seemed to move nicely. A sufficiency of nearly all kinds of green goods is on hand. The florist stands in the Jabez Elliott Flower Market looked as though they had been prepared for chrysanthemum show purposes during the early part of the afternoon of October 29. Closing time found all pretty well sold out.

October 27 and 28 were just as unsatisfactory as any days in the preceding week; Octo- ber 29, Saturday, came the change. The demand for cut flowers was increased to what some of the wholesalers called "an old-fashioned rush," until by night the supply of many varieties of flowers was exhausted. Hallowe'en and All Saints' day, October 31 and November 1, made a fair demand; the killing frost that preceded them dis- posed of the dahlias and cosmos so that the market is in better condition than for a long time. The queen of autumn is the leading flower. Fine chrysanthemums sell well, ordinary and poor stock moderately. Pompons go better than they did. The chrysanthemum situation is curious. November 2 finds the late or Thanks- giving varieties already well repre- sented. The leading sorts of the day include Ivory, Alice Byron, Mrs. Robin- son, Harry Balsley, and Virgfinia Poehl- mann, in whites, Mrs. Coombs, Mrs. Frick, Mrs. Shaw, Harry Balsley, Maud Deane, a few William Duckham and the rear guard of Clementine Touset in pinks, with Col. Appleton, Major Bonnaffon, Florence Harris and Golden Age among yellows. Tint of Gold also is still here. The orange, yellow and bronze pompons have been reinforced by white. Violets are in evidence. The demand for the Penn-Indian football game seems to restart the season locally. Singles are good, doubles not yet so. Carnations have improved in quality and are in demand at limes, but at other times they seem hard to sell.

There was a large attendance at the meeting of the Florists' Club Tuesday evening, November 1. Mr. Meehan gave an excellent talk on pruning, with practical demonstrations on how to prune and how not to prune. Robert Craig presented the club with a photo- graph of the late William K. Harris, from Mrs. Harris. The American Plant & Rose Co., Springfield, O., sent a representative with its new type of Boston fern, to be named Roosevelt. It seems promising. The Leo Niessen Co. exhibited some handsome vases of Carnation Mrs. C. W. Ward, deep pink, and Alma Ward, white, grown by Henry M. Weiss, of Hatboro. Both varieties were much admired. The Dahlia Season. The dahlia season has been of unusual length. The number of flowers sold has been larger than ever before. There have been no extreme prices, the aver- age price rather low, due to poor qual- ity of some of the stock. Single dahlias have not sold so well as in former years. Except where well grown there is no de- mand for them. When good single varieties are well grown and disbudded, a limited number can be sold advan- tt^geously.

A close observer of the cut-flower market believes that fewer varieties and better culture will be needed to produce dahlias at a profit. The best dahlias for cut flowers today are Jack Bose, Kreimhilde, Lyndhurst, Flora and a good yellow. This is merely a selection, a number of other varieties are just as good. The point is to pro- duce good flowers of good varieties, with good stems, in quantity sufficient to warrant taking orders for them. Mr. Farenwald's Soses. Abilitv and enterprise have placed Adolph Farenwald in the front rank of our eastern rose powers. Rose growing is a science on his place. IJis plans are carefully laid at the beginning of each season and they are as skillfully carried out, without deviation. This season Mr. Farenwald aims to produce long- stemmed Killarneys during midwinter. This aim will, barring some unforeseen accident, be successfully carried out. He has the foundation for a large crop of long-stemmed flowers that will be well scattered over the social season. Two roses, Killarney and Bichmond, are the varieties grown by Mr. Faren- wald, in the proportion of about two to one in favor of Killarney. A casual glance over the houses shows a differ- ence in method employed in handling the two roses, for while Killarney is carefully staked and tied, Bichmond runs wild. A further difference ap- pears in the style of growth; most of the heavy shoots in Killarney are top growth, while in Bichmond ground breaks are depended upon. The ques- tion of grafting is unsettled, although the balance now swings in favor of the graft, for the last two houses devoted to Killarney contain grafted plants. Mr. Farenwald 's fall method of rose growing aims to secure the greatest amount of vigor — vigor that will be utilized during the forcing months of winter. He airs freely during late August and September until firing be- gins, which this season was in early October. This system courts mildew 38 The Weekly Florists^ Review. NOVBMBBB S, 1910.

Well done, it appears in Mr. Farenwald's hands to give a reserve force of vitality that yields splendid results when flowers are wanted. Mr. Farenwald is a firm be- liever in wide planting as an incentive to robust growth in the rose. The Bose Garden at Dreer's. October is not exactly the month for outdoor roses, yet the improvement in the hybrid tea varieties made it possi- ble to derive pleasure and profit from a walk through the trial rose garden. There are a number of long frames planted with the best varieties of recent introduction and with many novelties on trial. Quite a number of these varieties have been producing creditable blooms through October, giving an opportunity for noting those that keep right on doing well until the end of the season. There are several new and old vari- eties that seem particularly beautiful here at this time. Laurent Carle was magnificent in size, color and form; a most attractive red sort. Hugo Roller, a pure tea variety of good size, was exquisite in its shading of white and pink. My Maryland, too well known to need description, is excellent outdoors. The old variety, Mme. Hoste, looked well. Good opportunity was afforded for comparison between Harry Kirk, so fine as an outdoor sort, and Mrs. Aaron Ward, the apricot novelty grown by W. H. Elhott, of Madbury, for the Boston cut fiower market under number last season. White Killarney was there, too, and many more — too many for de- scription here. When Antoine Wintzer saw those beds he stayed over night with J. D. Esele, to enjoy another sight of them early in the morning. Shjtron Hill. Robert Scott & Son have made exten- sive improvements in their large plant at Sharon Hill this season.

It will not do to dismiss the old range without a word for that wonder- ful house, planted in Kaiserin ten years ago, that has yielded such . remarkable stock ever since. The plants remained unchanged throughout a decade. They were cut back each season, started in time for Easter and fiowered throughout the summer. Each season the plants gained in strength, until it is a question whether such a house of Kaiserin could be found anywrhere else. The other improvements include an immense manure tank for pumping liquid through the houses. It is built, of course, of concrete, to be roofed later. Last, but by no means least, a little house is being erected for testing the seedling roses of Alexander Dick- son & Sons, Newtownards, Ireland. Alexander B. Scott spent a couple of weeks there in the summer of the pres- ent year, devoting five or six hours each day to an examination of their seed- lings. Mr. Scott picked out forty-three varieties, which will be here in a few days for trial. The most important of these will, he believes, revolutionize rose growing in America, should it equal his expectations under our different cli- matic conditions. This variety he de- scribes as a cluster rose with a long, pointed, single bud, bright red, with a coppery hue inside at the base of the petals. When Mrs." Scott wore a clus- ter of this rose it attracted instant admiration. The rose houses at Sharon Hill are planted with Melody, Double Killarney, Killarney, My Maryland, Richmond and Mrs. Jardine. This last named rose Mr. Scott thinks the greatest winter rose today; it outsells anything else, but the market seems unwilling to pay the advance necessary to make it prof- itable. It is easy to get as much for Mrs. Jardine as lor Killarney of equal grades, but difficult to average the ten per cent more required. The roses all looked well. Gardenias are as important at Sharon Hill as in the past. You know that Alexander B. Scott was the first man who flowered gardenias successfully in midwinter. The houses this season looked better even than ever before. The plants are of straight thickness; NOVEMBBU 3, 1910. The Weekly Florists' Review. 39 Fieid=Growfl Roses Save 40^ and buy now.

Five Pages of Retailers' Cards This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the facili- ties for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid develop- ment of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and so help- ful a branch of the business that its volume will keep on increasing for many years. Are you sending and receiving your share of these orders? You can send your share (and make 20 per cent profit without effort) if you let your customers know you can perform this service for them. To receive your share — well, The Review's department for Retailers' cards remains the one way of getting prompt action on the order in hand. If you are the only florist in your city represented here, you get the orders coming into j'our territory from other florists. If you are not represented and "the other fellow" is — we can leave it to you what becomes of these desirable orders. To be represented costs only 70 cents per week on a yearly order. This is for one-inch space. Other spaces in proportion. Why not send your order today — now — before you forget it?

GREENHOUSES : 35th Street and Portland Avenue. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The market last week was in about the same condition as reported for the week previous. Some of our leading, re- tail florists said that October business was not up to last year, but they are looking forward to better and more settled business after next week's election. Chrysanthemum blooms are now in their height and all of our wholesale markets are fairly loaded down with good flowers at reasonable prices. Ap- pleton, Ivory, Bonnaflfon and Eobinson are among the best sellers. Eoses are in abundance in all varieties and grades, but the demand is slow and a lot of them are being dumped or sold cheap in big lots. Carnations, too, are coming in large lots, but sell better than roses at pres- ent. White and light pink have the best call. Violets are coming better now that the cooler weather has set in, and a large cut is promised for this sea- son from the Kirkwood growers. The frost last week put an end to outdoor stock. Everything In greens is now to be had, including bronze galax. Various Notes. O. K.

Stock of all kinds was abun- dant and prices were correspondingly low on everything. However, the frost, so long looked for, came October 28, and there will be no more outdoor stock for this year. General condi- tions, therefore, should shape up bet- ter and prices should stiffen. The weather this week is ideal for green- house stock, for, while it is quite cool, the sun is shining brightly and stock is already showing some improvement. The retail stores are all doing well, with no unusual developments, but a nice, quiet business going on all the time and everybody in good humor. Various Notes. The A. W. Smith Co. had a Hal- lowe'en decoration in one of the win- dows which was specially attractive. Among the decorations was a pumpkin with a face carved on it and colored so perfectly as to be unusually striking and characteristic. H. L. Blind & Bros, were busy with medium sized decorations all last week. Their east end shop contains an at- tractive showing of chrysanthemums. G. P. Weaklen & Co. report trade as all they could expect for their first month in business. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is sending out an attractive catalogue of florists' supplies.

Hoo-Hoo. DETBOIT. The Market. The first month of the retail man's busy season came to an end with a busy week. There has been a steady run of work all month, brought about by many funerals, openings, the good sale for plants and a good, live social season. Hallowe'en caused a big de- •mand for flowers, particularly mums. The local commission houses are han- dling big shipments of mums and other stock from the growers in Mt. Clem- ens, Greenfield and locally. Various Notes. Norman Sullivan took advantage of Hallowe'en with a most attractive win- dow decoration. Between masses of corn were brass vases of yellow mums and receptacles made of pumpkins filled with flowers. Robert Colquitt has moved the greenhouses formerly used by Colquitt & Son from Gratiot and Crane to Crane and Moffat avenues. John Klang, who, since leaving school, has been in the employ of J.

"Although there has been a great deal of agitation along the line of pure seed legislation recently, the fact still remains that the purity of grass and clover seed will not, and moreover, can- not be improved, no matter what strin- gent laws may be enacted, and while the reports of seed tests are often very damaging to the seed trade in general, they do not result in any good to any- body. For all that, we do not for a moment hesitate to go on record and state that there is no country in . the world that handles, on an average, such high qualities of grass and clover seeds as the UnitecT'Sitates. "We really do not know of a case where grass seed has been misbranded. Of course, this may happen to the best and most reliable seed house, and in that case it would be the duty of. the receiver to inspect the seed immediately on arrival, so that in the event of there being a mistake, it can be adjusted at once." IMPORTS. "■The imports of seed through the port of New York for the week ending Octo- ber 22 were as follows: Kind. Pkgs. Val. Kind. Pkgs. Val.

SEED CHOPS AT BAin)OLPH. "Peas are about forty per cent of a crop with us," says J, W. Jung, of Randolph, Wis. "Beans are not yet threshed, but we think they will be a good average. Cucumbers were excel- lent; in fact, the best crop of these we ever have raised." The Jung Seed Co. has made some- thing of a specialty of salvia and aster and in speaking of these Mr. Jung said : "Salvia will be a fair crop, but asters will be light, due to a severe attack of the aster disease, or blight. We are about positive that this is caused by souring of the soil, as before we had much rain it was hardly noticeable, but immediately after heavy rains it spread rapidly. The person who discovers something to check the ravages of this disease will indeed be a benefactor to all growers of asters." THE PRODUCTION OF SEEDS. Relative Supply and Demand. The commercial value of all kinds of seed is dependent, even to a greater degree than is the case with most mer- chandise, upon relatively temporary sup- ply and demand, says W. W. Tracy, formerly of D. M. Ferry & Co., in a recent bulletin of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. A shortage of seed can not usually be met with a fresh sup- ply until the next season, and the forc- ing upon the market of even a small surplus has a more depressing effect than with most merchandise. As most seeds retain their vitality for several years, seedsmen usually guard against a short crop by carrying over a por- IMPORT DIRECT ._,„ Japanese Maples, I9 beantlfully colored Tarletlea, 1 to I'a ft $ 2.80 $ 95.00 Arlatolocliia 8lpho (Dutchman's pipe). 6 ft. long 2JM> 33.00 Aristolochla Slphu (Dutchman's pipe), 4 to 6 ft 1.80 16.00 Bnxus. standards, heads 80 Inches through 36.00 320.00 Boxns anff ruticos^ (box for edging), 6 to 6 Inches 2JiD CleiiMU;is,-pot.grown. 2 years, 6 ft ^.....' 1.20 10.00 Clematis, field-grown. 2 years. 6 ft 1.40 12.00 Dielytra spectabllis (Bleeding Heart), 3 eyes and up .36 8.00 Funkia undulata medio vanegata, 8 eyes and up 60 6.00 Kalmia latlfolia (Mountain Laurel), 1 ft., well budded ^^^.^^ 3.80 26.00 MaBnoliaSoulangeana, with many buds, 3 to 4 ft. pyramids '^ 6JW 46.00 PaeoniaChlnensis, red, white and pink, 3 eyes and up r^.. 60 4.00 PaeoniaChinensis, In best named varieties. 3 eyes and up. ......,«..,^._... 70 6.00 Paeonia Chinensis Duchesse de Nemours, sulphur yellow- .., 1.20 10.00 Paeonia Chinensin f estiva maxima, the grandest white, very large 1.20 lO.OO Paeonia officinalis mntabilis,Tery light pink .80 6.00 Paeonia off icinalis rosea plena ,80 6.00 Paeonia of ficinalis mbraplena 60 4.00 Phlox, In beautiful varieties, field-grown clumps 40 8.00 Rhododendron hybrids, hardy and for forcing: HelghtlStolSlnches, 6 to SJHids, 12 to 16 Inches diameter 2.60 32.0*-^ Height 18 to 24 inches, 8 to 12 buds, 16 to 18 inches diameter SJiO SO.OO Height 21 to 27 Inches. 12 to 18 buds, 18 to 24 inches diameter 4.60 40.00 Height 24 to 80 Inches, 18 to 24 buds, 24 to 30 inches diameter 6JM> 00.00 ShododendronCatawblen8egr.fi., 7 to 10 buds, 1 to l^a ft 2.00 18.00 Rhododendron Catawbiense gr. f I., 10 to 16 buds, l>Qto2 ft 2.80 26.00 Rhododendron, standards, named, heads 1 Hi to 2 ft. diameter 6.60 60.00 ROSK8, 3 to 6 branches^ In very many varieties, as: Per Per Baroness Rothschild, Captain Hayward, Crimson Rambler, Dorothy POTkiiu^ 1000 100 Frau Karl Druachki, Oeneral Jacqueminot, Oruss an.

A wise seedsman will therefore not only hesitate to risk his reputation for handling pure and true stocks through purchase by sample, no matter how good the sample may seem to be, but will endeavor to limit his supply to seed which he knows was. grown from pure and true stock seed, and as far as possible to tljat which was subject while growing to his own inspection and approval. He will also discourage the growing of speculative crops with the intention of selling by sample be- cause of the liability of such crops to disturb the most profitable balance of supply and demand. Low Prices for Growing Seed Crops. Seedsmen are often able to place con- tracts for growing seed, particularly of sweet corn, peas, and beans, at very low prices — even lower than grain of the same species can be sold for on the market. That they are able to do so is the result of the following condi- tions: (1) Though it is true that certain conditions of soil and climate are es- sential to profitable seed growing, lands fulfilling these conditions are so widely distributed and their total area is so much greater than is necessary for the production of all the seed needed that their possession and use for seed grow- ing by no means insure a profitable crop. (2) The growing of a seed crop for a widely advertised seed firm seems to many people more attractive than the growing of grain for sale in the open market, and farmers of thie slass are MOVBBCBBB 3, 1910.

Often the only avail- able use of such get-away crops is as seed, and they are sold as such, and being in the nature of salvage the can- ners are glad to dispose of them at any price they can get. Occasionally truck- ers' crops are disposed of in a similar way. Seedsmen do not advertise their use of get-away crops, many of them claim- ing that they never use such crops, but many carloads of this kind of seed are sold every year, and a part of it gets into the hands of some of our most reputable seedsmen. This practice can not fail to have a bearish effect upon the price paid for growing special seed crops. DUTCH BX7LB INDUSTBY. The bulb business in Holland dates back to about 1750, though the most rapid development has been in the last thirty years. The bulb-growing industry was first confined to Haarlem and its vicin- ity, but has gradually extended where- ever a suitable piece of land was avail- able. In order to grow bulbs, meadows have been transformed and sand dunes leveled. The preparation of land for this purpose is often costly, and the value of the best plots varies from £320 to £500 ($1,557 to $2,433) an acre. The export statistics of the industry, which have been carefully kept since 1897, show that the total export has largely increased in the last ten years. The value of this export cannot now be less than £800,000 ($3,893,200). England is still Holland's best cus- tomer for bulbs, taking nearly forty For Florista for forcing, at low prices ; in casea only.

The Dutch bulb growers are organized into a general federation, which now numbers nearly 3,000 members and is divided into thirty-seven local groups. A paper is published twice a week, weekly exchanges are held during the trade season, novelties are examined and reported upon by a committee of judges, and a trade council inquires into and decides all trade differences. Many exhibitions have been organized by the federation, and of late exhibits have also been sent to foreign countries. In addition to the general federation there are two special societies, one to protect the interests of bulb exporters and the other to protect those of grow- ers who do not export.

FLORISTS' REVIEW When Writine Advertiser 66 The Weekly Florists' Review* NOVSMBBB 3, 1910. PACIFIC COAST. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. Business has shown a great increase. Activity is displayed everywhere and in every branch of the trade. Weddings are numerous. Aside from these, how- ever, there is little going on socially — only small affairs. General stock is im- proving. Mums are plentiful. Queen, Buckee, Alice Byron and Bonnaffon lead in qual- ity. Carnations are more plentiful, with a daily clean-up. Eoses are improving in quality and quantity. Maryland is the leader in pink and Kaiserin in white. Dahlias are plentiful in various shades, but are poor sellers. Cyclamens and miniature mums are about the only flowering plants on the market. Various Note^. At the greenhouses the forces are busy potting up the lilies for the com- ing season. The grand opening of the Olds, Wort- man & King department store created an unusual demand for plants and bas- ket arrangements, unprecedented in the history of the city. G. W. Pennebaker, of Albany, was in the city in the interests of the nursery business. E. R. C. SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. The Market. The weather has turned slightly cool- er, much to the relief of the general public and the florists. We had been treated to several weeks of unexpected and unusually hot, dry days, and the results were that a great amount of stock was dumped on the market and prices and quality went a-glimmering. But with the return of our natural November conditions, we expect a quick resumption of trade and a much better quality of stock. Chrysanthemums are all the rage at present and, now that normal conditions prevail, they are fully up to the high standard of last year. The best outside stock can be bought at $1.50 to $3 per hundred and for inside flowers the cost to the retailers is about the same as last season. Carnations are cheaper than they were a year ago at this time, but the weather can be blamed for this also, and they may be expected to rise in price at any time. With roses there is a good demand for good stock, but for several reasons there is a scarcity of it in the market. A major- ity of the growers have not yet been able to cut any really first-class flowers from the recently planted houses, and until they do so we cannot expect much fancy stock. With other lines the conditions are about as usual, with nothing particular to mention. Business is fully as good as at this time one year ago and every- one feels that we are going to have a good early-winter trade. Various Notes. F. H.

During the last few seasons Cali- fornia nurserymen have imported large quantities of tree roses from Europe, owing to the cheapness and also for the reason that the home-grown article has not been produced in sufficient numbers to fill requirements. It has been noted, however, that there has been a greater loss with this stock than the occasion seemed to warrant. This has been par- ticularly noticeable for the last two seasons, and the question naturally arises why we are not able to land these roses with as little loss as is sustained in the handling of other imported stock. The length of time spent in transit does not figure to any extent, for it is in- variably found that much less hardy stock, packed in the same boxes, stands the long journey without any losses. To begin with, there is no question but that this European stock is per- fectly hardy and satisfactory in its own locality, but even under the best condi- tions and when it arrives in perfect order, it is not suited to the heat and dry atmosphere of central and southern California. The canes on which the tops are grown are not long-lived here, and stock which apparently is in a vigorous condition and should give great results usually lasts only a season or two. None of the briars are suited for planting in this part of California when used as a stock for tree roses. This has been proven in this locality for many years. La Grifferie, Bal- timore Belle', Manetti and several others can be depended on to fill requirements and will live many years, increasing in size all the time. Rosa canina was dis- carded as a stock many years ago. These remarks do not, however, ex- plain the first statement made, that such poor results are had with the stock in transit. The trouble on this score comes from the fact that the European growers do not have their stock in a sufficiently dormant condition when it is packed. It will always be found that the big, pithy tops and masses of foliage have completely damped off, while such varieties as have plenty of well-ripened wood stand the journey fairly well. A great percentage of the sorts are hardy hybrids, and these have always plenty of roots and heavy stems, so that, if the proper jud^ent were used in selecting well-hardened crowns, no one could object to the stock itself. , . , X This disposes of the packmg, and i will return again to the tree roses themselves. When they arrive even under the best conditions, and are planted out and given such care as they need, they are a poor counterfeit of our native-grown stock. As I stated before, a large percentage of «»e ^.™- ported standards are worked to hybrids and to very heavy growing sorts, while the California climate is peculiarly NOW READY. Stock is well rooted and first-class in every respect. Per 100 1000 Knchantress fi.OO $1H.00 R. P.

The wild stocks used in Europe have proven to be abso- lutely unreliable in this region, and when the added risk is considered of their arriving in poor order, it is clear that the local growers should aim to supply the demand with suitable, ac- climated stock, if they wish the public to continue to plant standard roses.

Send for description and price ELLWANGER & BARRY Mount Hope Nurseries ROCHESTER, N. Y. Mention The Review when you write The wood forwarded was completely crusted with San Jose scale, one of the most destructive pests to be fought in America today. This scale will soon kill a tree or shrub, unless remedial measures are adopted. As soon as the leaves fall, give the plants a spraying of either the lime-sulphur solution or one of the soluble oils. Probably one of the oils would be the simplest for you to apply, at the rate of one part of oil to twenty parts of water. I have found Scalecide an excellent, safe and comparatively inexpensive remedy. It dissolves readily in water. An application after the leaves fall and another in spring, before the buds have started, should practically clean out the pests. Use a fine spray nozzle and be sure to wet every vestige of bark. Any remedy applied while the plants are in leaf, of sufficient strength to kill the scale, will also destroy the foliage. Under glass or in sheds filled with hardy nursery stock, hydrocyanic acid gas is used to destroy the scale. ^ C. W. STORAGE OF NURSERY STOCK. [An extract from a paper by L. C.

The plan of pro- cedure is to harvest the stock during the months of November and Decem- ber, immediately pack the trees and shrubbery in paper-lined packing cases, providing proper ^packing material in the shape of sphagnum, rather than straw, and immediately place the cases so packed in cold storage, allowing them to remain until required for imme- diate planting. This practice is chiefly confined to nurseries operating in the extreme southern portions of the United States, which have a large patronage at the north. The early germination of the stock at the south would prohibit the delivery of the trees in satisfactory condition at the north at the proper planting season. To overcome this diffi- culty, the above practice has been inau- gurated with excellent results. Under this system the packed stock is held in cold storage for a period of three or four months, but practices at the north require that the stock remain in the retarding house from six to seven months. Holding Stock One Season to Another. Attempts have been made to hold nursery stock over a season in cold storage. The experiment was only moderately successful; in fact, not con- sidered sufficiently successful to war- rant the plan as a commercial practice. The practicability of such a procedure, when necessary in moving plants from one quarter of the world to another, is demonstrated, but the commercial value of such a procedure on an extensive scale is quite out of reason, from the fact that cold storage space is expen- sive; nursery stock is bulky and the value of the stock will seldom justify the outlay necessary for holding it through a long period in cold storage. Short storage periods, however, can be justified for the reasons already stated. Stock Which Will Permit of Storage. All classes of nursery stock are han- dled in retarding houses, but the whole practice is based on empirical rules. No carefully planned tests have been carried out to determine the conditions best suited to any particular class of stock, or for the general purpose house. Modern practices have developed to meet the requirements of the trade and have been quite as much influenced by economic conditions as by the actual re- quirements of the stock. The whole field of storage, as applied to the nur- sery business, is a virgin one for the investigator. The necessity for retard- ing houses requires no argument. Their economic value is demonstrated, but the details of handling various kinds of stock, the benefit or injury to the stock, as well as the eflfect of fluctuating tem- peratures and humidities on the vitality of the plants held in storage, are ques- tions which our present knowledge fails to answer.

The calamity howl «rs who have been predicting panics, hard times, etc., for this western coun- try, have not been able to collect a large enough following to seriously affect trade conditions so far. The de- mand for flowers seems to be picking up in a satisfactory manner, showing a nice increase over last year. Tran- sient trade is improving, while an oc- casional wedding helps out. There is a steady demand for funeral work, both local and out-of-town, and the season for parties and luncheons is beginning to open. Local roses are hardly up to expecta- tions, but chrj'santhemums are of splen- did quality and quantity. Carnations are increasing in number, and in spite of their hard time in the latter part of the summer, flowers are better than for several years at this season. There is a slight shortage in good lily of the vallej'. A few short-stemmed violets are showing up, and serve to trim an occasional design, and to create a de- mand which cannot be supplied. The early mum plants are coming into flower rapidly, and are finding a ready sale. Various Notes. The city has combed the confetti out of its hair, and is recovering from the Peerless Prophet's jubilee. This event brought many visitors into the city, who did some little shopping between cele- brations. Chas. P. Mueller was the only florist to enter the civic parade. His first float carried a miniature green- house, containing blooming plants. Fol- lowing tliis came another, decorated for a wedding, with altar and kneeling cushion. The third wagon was a top delivery wagon, decorated with carnival colors and yellow mums. He received first prize for novel features. The Bixby Greenhouses have added two connected houses, each 34x72, which will be devoted to lettuce. Mr. Bixby will also experiment with a crop of mushrooms under one of the benches in his plant house. Mr. Bidleman is starting the con- struction of a house, 28x105. The build- ing will have 7-foot gutters, and will ex- tend east from his present boiler shed, across the ends of the remainder of the range. C. A. Kose has added a stock of gold- fish and accessories. He reports a satis- factory demand for them. The killing frost landed on its aver- age date this year, October 19. It was in the middle of jubilee week, and some of the visitors without wraps experi- enced a cool reception. The weather warmed up for a few days, and was then followed by a more determined freeze, wliich sent the temperature down to 22 degrees. W. H. Culp ic Co. have finished two benches of early mums and are bench- ing pot-grown carnations in their place. Christmas sweet peas are showing up well at several places. Chas. P. Mueller is growing his on in pots until one of his houses, now devoted to chrysan- themums, can be cleared for them. E. C. Hampton, la. — The Curtis Floral Co. has added to the greenhouse equipment a large storage room, with a basement. Seasonable Stock NephrolepiB SuperbiBsima, Scholzeli.

WATER UNDER PRESSURE. I have a hot water plant with an open expansion tank. Having added a new house this summer, the tank does not seem to supply pressure enough. As it would be rather difficult to raise it higher, I thought to connect with the city water mains. The question is, can I run the city water direct to the boiler unci do away with the tank, or must I get a covered tank and run the water in that? Also, would such an arrange- ment have any effect on the water meter, which is about 100 feet from the boiler? L. G. B. The question does not indicate just why the plan of elevating the expansion tank or of connecting with the city mains, and thus securing circulation un- der pressure, has been considered. The adoption of either method, however, will make it possible to increase the temperature of the water in the pipes, and this will both hasten the circula- tion and increase the efficiency of the plant. This, however, will only be pos- sible, provided there is reserve capacity in the heater, and by the expenditure of considerably more fuel. Pressure can be secured either by use of a closed tank or by connecting with the water mains. The latter is the sim- plest, but it has the objections of dan- ger from drawing off the water in case of a break in the water system, and of a possible explosion if the connection is closed. At any rate, a safety valve should be used. CAPACITY OF BOII^R. We have an eighty horse-power, high- pressure boiler, containing fifty-two flues and returns, and desire to heat the following houses: House No. 1, for vegetables, is 86x109 feet, seven, feet to the girtters, twelve feet to the ridge, aJi#coHWlins 15,000 square feet of glass.

House No. 2, for carnations, is 60x80, seven feet to the gutters and fourteen feet to the ridge. The west end is all glass. The north wall is solid, and is seven feet high; the south wall is solid and is three feet high. The east end is protected by house No. 6 House No. 3, for mums, is 60x80, seven feet to the gutters and fourteen feet to the ridge. The west end is glass. House No. 4 is 10x86, three feet to the gutter and ten feet to the ridge, with glass gables. House No. 5 is 14x86, three feet to the gutter and twelve feet to the ridge. Houses No. 2 to No. 5 are all connected. House No. 6, which is 20x128, runs along the east ends of houses No. 2 to No. 5. The east side has three feet of solid wall and three feet of glass. The office is at the south end of this house, while the north end is a solid wall. All told, the houses contain 75,000 square feet of glass. What we wish to know is whether our boiler is large enough to heat the houses if they are properly piped. We expect to run a 5-inch main from the boiler through house No. 1 to house No. 6. House No. 1 will be piped with 2-inch flows and returns. The other houses are piped as follows: House No. 2, eight 2-ihch flows and eight 2- inch returns; No. 3, six 2-inch flows and six 2-inch returns; No. 4, one 2- inch flow and five I'/i-inch returns; No. 5, one 2-inch flow and six 114-inch re- Mention The Review when you write. turns; No. 6, four 2-inch flows and twelve 114-inch returns. In this part of Nebraska our coldest weather is 10 degrees below zero. The highest tem- perature we want in the houses is about 60 degrees. G. E. B. The question merely asks whether it will be possible to maintain a temper- ature of 60 degrees with an eighty horse-power boiler with 75,000 square feet of glass, when the tem|teratur6 outside is 10 degrees below zero. This can be answered in the negative, as for the purpose mentioned the boiler should have a rating of at least 125 horse- power, and it would be better if it were 150 horse-power. However, a careful examination of NOVBMBER 3, 1910.

TOLEDO, O. The Market. Florists, no doubt, are often remind- ed of the old saying, "It is an ill wind that blows nobody good," and, although we hesitate in saying so, yet we must admit that the number of deaths in the last week or two have made business pretty lively. Visiting the Growers. On Sunday, October 23, the follow- ing members of the Toledo Florists' Club went out calling: Mr. Schiller, Otto and Will Krueger, John Barrow, John Gratopp, A. Suder, Frank Wertz, the secretary of the club, and Mr. Kel- ler; also Mr. and Mrs. Peck and their daughter. First they called on George Bayer, and found his houses in splendid shape. He has 75,000 chrysanthemums planted. 40,000 of which are Bonnaffons, in all stages of growth, to be cut from now until Thanksgiving day. From there they went to visit Harry Heinl, and found him to be not only a good grower, but also a good builder. Next, to Mrs. E. Suder 's, and all ad- mired her fine new houses. They also called on John Gratopp, Mention The Review when you write. 86 The Weekly Florists' Review^ November 3, 1914. who has a fine lot of lettuce and sweet peas. Thence to John Kaminski, who was extremely busy at the time with fu- neral Avork, but managed to find time to show them his fine line of general stock. Various Notes. Krueger Bros, are now cutting a fine lot of lilies and also some extra fine White Killarney. Spanner's had a novel Hallowe'en display. In one window there was a table decoration of a cabbage, deco- rated with autumn leaves and gaillar- dias, and in the other window a large pumpkin, used as a jardiniere and filled with big yellow mums. Mr. Hall, of Eeed & Keller, New York, called here last week with his line of florists' supplies. S. Seligman, of Wertheimer Bros., New York, was also in the city last week. B. P. S. NEWBURGH, N. Y. Caldwell & Jesperson said October 30: ' * We are now cutting some fine Paper White narcissi; a sash house 10x150 feet is planted with them. When they are done flowering the house will be filled with the single daffodil. Golden Spur, which flower we have the reputa- tion to grow to perfection; they real- ized some fancy prices last season. The carnations, all of the Enchantress type and Beacon for red, are in tip-top shape. The other stock is also in fine condi- tion. Our cut i» shipped to P. J. Smith, New York. The new store recently com- pleted is a great success. It is of stucco construction, 25x50 feet, with a conservatorv of the same dimensions." PROVIDENCE. The Market. The cooler weather last week caused a slight increase in the demand for chrys- anthemums and it was also reflected in the better condition of the blooms that were brought in during the latter part of the week. Whites are plentiful, but good yellows and pinks are not so plen- tiful. A few days, however, will adjust matters, as several of the larger grow- ers are now bringing in their first cut- tings. Prices range normal and there is a growing demand for small pots of mums. Various Notes. John Johnston, of Johnston Bros., was on the sick list part of last week. Willis S. Pino has just registered a Cadillac thirty-two horse-power run- about automobile Avith the State Board of Public Boads. William Chappcll had extensive deco rations at the Narragansett hotel on Thursday evening, in which Eichmond roses and smilax predominated. C. Ford was a visitor in this city last week, for A. Herrmann, of New York. He was taking orders for the new pink carnation, Princess Charming. Lawrence Hay is cutting all the single chrysanthemums that he can handle. They find ready sale here.

The Skinner Irrigation Co., Troy, O., requests the publication of the follow- ing under the too lengthy heading, "Write Your Congressman About Irri- gation": "The problems of irrigation are be- ginning to be appreciated by the aver- age grower. The greater his knowledge of them the more he realizes the necessity for specific and tangible in- formation relative to the correct amounts, the proper methods, and the right periods for the application of water. "Within the limits of the appropri- ation allowed, the Bureau of Irrigation Investigations of the Department of Agriculture has done faithful and effi- cient work along these lines. The time for annual appropriations is now at hand, and it is our belief that no money spent by the government will yield bet- ter returns to the growers than money appropriated for work along irrigation lines. During recent years a consider- able share of the money appropriated has been applied in ways of benefit to the truck and fruit grower. "Our suggestion would be that each grower who is interested in these prob- lems, communicate with his senator and representative, urging on him the im- portance of a liberal appropriation in order that the Bureau of Irrigation In- . vestigations may have opportunity to work out these questions along lines which are commensurate with the pos- sible opportunities and benefits. A concerted effort on the part of the growers will lead to a liberal appropri- ation from which they cannot fail to secure large benefits."

The general complaint among the florists at the present time is that the weather is too warm to bring in much business, outside of the demand for funeral orders. It seems to be human nature to complain about something, and it hardly seems fair to complain about the weather, for it has been ideal in many respects. In one way, it is too warm to bring much business; in an- other way, it means a great saving in the coal bill, while it aM) brings on a large supply of stock when the demand is comparatively small. Last week the weather was the cold- est it has been this fall; consequently we have had several killing frosts, which have put an end to outdoor stock. The frosts, however, did not come soon enough to do away with outdoor flowers before the demand for All Saints' day began, for on Saturday, October 29, there were tubs of outdoor chrysan- themums flooding the market and being sold for a mere nothing, and this helped to knock the trade for the florists. How- ever, taking all things into considera- tion, business was much better than expected. The demand seemed to run on chrysanthemums, generally; the small white varieties sold remarkably well. The bright weather is bringing chrys- anthemums into crop all at once, so it is thought that the mum season will not last as long this year as in previous years. The rose and carnation supply is quite heavy, but they have to take a back seat on account of chrysanthe- mums, but then, their day is coming. Various Notes. Mrs. B. Hendrichs reports that busi- ness in her section of the city was every bit as good as last year, and she is well satisfied with results. In H. H. Hitter's section of this city, trade for All Saints' day did not come up to that of last year; however, he re- ports that he sold out on small white chrysanthemums and expected the de- mand for Hallowe'en would take all of his supply of yellow mums. Misa Euby Bartholomew visited friends at Fairfield, O., October 30. Mrs. Young reports that while she could have accommodated more busi- ness last week, still she is satisfied with what came her way. We had snow flurries here last week. R. A. B. Houlton, Me.— H. L. Chadwick, the High street florist, is improving and enlarging his greenhouses. The new buildings will include a fern house and a store. He will also install a fine, modern refrigerator.
