MEMORIAL DAY

AND THE FLORISTS

DON'T NEGLECT ADVERTISING.

oenmnmn

It Pays to Push.

Have you noted that the retail florists
who appear to be making the most prog-
ress are the ones who use the most
printers' ink?

Fact, isn't it?

Well, here's just one little hint,
gathered from the experience of the ad-
vertising florists, that 's convertible into
real money next week: As surely as it
pays to advertise all the time, it pays
best to boost your business at the sea-
sons of special demand.

It reminds one of the old saw about
making hay while the sun shines, the
modern version of which is ' ' Push along
while the going's good."

Now comes Memorial day.

The demand is there.

So is the stock.

To get them together in the store, use
the newspaper. Tell the people there
is something better than a bunch of
snowballs when May oO comes around.

Awakening Desire.

Thus far in the history of the flower
business there is little record of any
attempt, on the part of the better class
of stores, to do more than satisfy the
existing demand. This is changing.
Effort now is being made by a number
of shrewd flower merchants to quicken
the demand.

Once upon a time a couple of adver-
tising "experts" had a long debate
as to whether or not advertising really
creates demand. One argued that it
does, while the other stoutly maintained
that the demand already exists and
that advertising only wakes it up.
Profitable theme, wasn't it? A distinc-
tion without a difference.

We don't care whether advertising
creates a demand for flowers or only
awakens the natural desire for them,
the demand that already is there. The
point is, and it is the only interesting
point, that the better advertiser a'
retailer is the better business be does —
the more flowers he sells to his old cus-
tomeriB and the more custodiers he
makes.

What Advertising Does.

Penn, the Bromfleld street florist in
Boston, has given the subject of adver-
tising a lot of hard study. He knows
advertising pays. This is what he says
of his advertising at this time last
year:

' ' About a week before Memorial day
we started a series of ads calling atten-
tion to wreaths for cemetery use. The
advertisements were distinct and the
results were equally clear-cut and read-
ily traceable. It is worth while record-
ing that out of 840 wreaths made up in
anticipation of the demand, only five
remained unsold at closing time on
Memorial day."

Reproduced on this page is one of the
Penn advertisements that sold the 835

wreaths that one day. There is no
necessity for saying that the Penn plans
for next week are all laid and that
they include, not only the manufac-
ture of many hundreds of wreaths, but
the repetition of the advertising.

Going At It.

It is a curious fact that a good many
men buy advertising with their eyes
shut — they don't apply to it the com-
mon sense they use so well in making
other purchases. Though the practice
is not nearly so general as it was, a
lot of men still buy advertising because
they like the solicitor, or for some other
equally valid reason, while others take
space in everything that 's offered, with-
out a thought as to what they are
getting for their money. The adver-
tiser sees only one copy of his adver-

advertising carried. The paper that
prints the most advertising calculated
to interest the same people you are
after will always be the best adver-
tising medium for you. That large
volume of advertising is a summing up
of experience paid for by men who
want to get the most their money will
buy.

"It seemed to us, and events have
proved that we were right, that the
one best paper was all that we needed
to use. Of course there are some pos-
sible customers we do not reach, but
are they worth while doubling the ex-
pense? We think not, and doubling
the expense wouldn't reach every pos-
sible buyer; it would be necessary to
use all the papers to do that — so we
let it go at the one with the biggest
circulation. Then we can afford to

The flowers we grow show the high-
est state of cultivation. As Boston is
famous for its flowers, so Penn's speci-

their particular genius at effectively

original effects.

Consult them — make suggestions and
have them carried out 9r rely on them

tisement. It may look as good to him
in his one copy of a paper practically
without circulation as it looks in his one
copy of the paper that everybody reads.
The cost is about the same, and the
appearance is similar, but there's a
difference in results! But let Penn
tell it:

"We didn't go into it blindly; we
considered all the available papers,
basing our choice on circulation among
the kind of people we wanted to reach.
You always can pick the best adver-
tising medium by noting the amount of

take enough space to tell our story
the way we want to tell it."

Try Penn's Plan.

Why not try Penn's plan for Memo-
rial day? Size up the newspapers avail-
able to you, pick out the one that
reaches the most of your kind of people,
call in its representative and get his
help in preparing some advertising that
will give to you the results Penn gets
with his.

If you do it at all, do it now. Adver-
tising never should be hastily prepared.

MEMOEIAL DAY WINDOWS.

To Move the Stock on Hand.

What any one dealer shall exhibit to
attract trade for Memorial day can be
decided by no one but himself, for his
window display should consist largely
of the stock he expects to sell in quan-
tity. This, together with the purpose of
keeping his establishment in a favor-
able light before the public, is the
object of window displays.

What do I want to construct with this
certain stock so as to attract the most
notice? That is the question, not "Can
I do it?" Never admit that weak-
kneed proposition. Whether there is a
way to do it, or whether anybody else
has done it, are not pertinent questions.
Seize the inspiration and find or invent
a way to carry it out.

Avoid the funereal aspect to any dec-
oration for Memorial day. We are now
far enough away from that sad time to
rejoice in the benefits while we sigh at
the bloody price. Let our emblems be
those of triumph, realizing that the
dead yet speak and. live in their deeds.

Some Appropriate Arrangements.

Here are some suggestions that may
be utilized with whatever setting of
plants you use to push sales for Memo-
rial day:

Remove the head from a large drum.
Fill with flowers and mount in a field
of blooming plants with a background
of flag drapery.

Inscribe on a large floral scroll some
quotation from the emancipation proc-
lamation. Throw a broken chain over
the lower end of the scroll. Lean
a musket against it and set in a patch
of blooming plants and ferns.

Erect as a monument a large broken
column frame. In place of the orthodox
garland, drape a silk flag, caught in

place with a knot of jasmines. Across
the base, at the front, place a large
pillow with an appropriate inscription
or the dates, 1861-1911. Bank at the
rear with a wealth of bright blooming
plants.

If a stuffed eagle can be borrowed for
the occasion, mount it over a gorgeous
field of blooming plants, and from its
beak to each side throw a pennant of
red, white and blue, after the design
on our coins.

Something in Motion.

Something in motion is always at-
tractive. Mount a good sized flag on a
staff among plants and flowers, near the
center of the window. From a point
near a front corner of the window,
concealed by a bushy group of plants,
set the flag in motion and keep it
waving by an electric fan.

While it is somewhat expensive, a
flag of flowers makes an attractive
display piece. Make a ripple from
the top to the lower edge; if well exe-
cuted it is quite graceful. A setting
of white blooming plants or an all-green
background will make the best devel-
oper for such a piece.

An immense shield will be found an
attractive piece. It should be made
solid, distinct as to the color stripes
and clear as to outline. Mount it over
an archway, the columns of which are
banked high with light colored flowers,
such as lilies, gladioli or irises.

Gertrude Blair.

A EEFEIGERATED WINDOW.

Artificial refrigeration preserves the
stock used in the window display of the
Alpha Floral Co., at Kansas City. In
the illustration of the Memorial day
window on this page of The Ecview the
frost-encrusted coils are to be seen at
the left. Of course, the display space is

enclosed at the back and both ends, so
that the window is really a big ice-box
— except for the light, flowers keep as
well in it as in any cool room. This
is a great advantage and a money-
saver, for a special display will stand
much longer than it will in the ordinary
window and, when there is no special
decoration on, the public can be given
the impression that a large stock is on
hand without incurring an excessive
loss of flowers.

TWO TIMELY WINDOWS.

Eeprodueed on these pages are two
last season's Memorial day window
displays, one by W. J. Palmer & Son,
Buffalo, and one by the Alpha Floral
Co., Kansas City. Those who have tried
special window arrangements for spe-
cial events say that they have an ad-
vertising value fully equal to the cost.
The money outlay on special windows
need not greatly exceed the sum ex-
pended on the upkeep of the ordinary
run of florists' window displays — but
the thought and work are vastly great-
er; that is why so few make use of this
means of attracting extra attention.
In Buffalo Mr. Palmer has made quite
a feature of his timely window displays,
a good share of the year picturing be-
hind his plate glass some event at the
moment occupying a large place in the
minds of the people. Santa Clans, the
dog show, the automobile show, Labor
day, Valentine's, the comet — they all
afford an idea the Palmer decorator
works out in flowers. So frequent and
so good are these special windows that
people passing by almost always turn
to look for the latest.

Paucity of ideas and pressure of time
are the two great difficulties to be
surmounted by one who undertakes to
keep up a series of special windows,
but Memorial day is one of the easiest

of special floral days to picture in the
window. All one has to do is to buy or
borrow a few old muskets, a sword or
two, a few flags, and your stage prop-
erties are at hand; the setting may be
after almost any fashion.

The ideal Memorial day window
would be the one that combined a touch
of the sentiment of the day with the
serious business of selling flowers. The
accouterments of war afford the sug-
gestion of the day. Put these in a
setting of flowers, but don't forget the
commercial idea that should lie at the
base of all such windows. Show the
flowers and flower arrangements appro-
priate to the day. For Memorial day
use cemetery wreaths and sprays. It
is not a violation of good taste to attach
neat cards, telling purpose and cost of
such arrangements.

FOR MEMORIAL DAY.

Timely Arrangements.

With the whiff of jasmine on the
breath of summer arrives this last
holiday of our season, claiming the out-
put of garden, greenhouse and woods.
A price and a place for almost any
flower can be found somewhere in the
innumerable possibilities of rare blues
and greens, the salmons and creams, the
varying shades from geranium reds to
obconica pinks, that are still with us.
After the drain of the shipping trade
has done its best, by the time the local
trade calls for its supply about every-

thing in sight will be snapped up if
shown to advantage, and they all have
their possibilities for good display.

It does not require much work to
sell carnations for Memorial day, or to
sell some other well known flowers
shown in the store, but you must show
some skill in arrangement if you expect
to sell cut heliotropes, geraniums,
primulas, ^weet alyssums, pansies, lobe-
lias, etc., not because they are not
beautiful, but because they are called
common. On account of their softness
of stem and texture, it is well to use
them largely in background work.

Suggestions for Wreaths.

In order to dispose of this kind of
stock to some advantage, here are a
few suggestions as to combinations:

Blue pansy wreath, with forget-me-
nots and jasmines.

Ivy, boxwood, wild smilax or huckle-
berry wreath, with a spray of carna-
tions, jasmines or lilies. The frames for
these can be made in advance, and the
decorations added quickly. They ship
well and last finely. Other designs may
be made on the same plan, but the
wreath will sell most readily.

Wreath of purple pansies, with a
decoration of pink ramblers.

Wreath of yellow ramblers and
Shasta daisies.

Wreath of purple pansies, with a
decoration of yellow ramblers.

Wreath of double pink daisies, with a
decoration of spiraea and mignonette.

Wreath of grass pinks, with a dec-

oration of fancy grass, mignonette and
abutilon.

Wreath of feverfew, with forget-me-
nots and Azalea mollis.

Wreath of yellow-green coleus foli-
age, with a decoration of spiraeas and
heliotropes.

Wreath of double heliotropes and
white petunias, with a decoration of
white peas and mignonettes.

Wreath of purple verbenas, with
spiraeas and ferns.

Wreath of heliotropes, with a decora-
tion of white and lavender peas.

Wreath of blue cornflowers, with a
decoration of double white centaureas
and fancy grasses.

Wreath of purple pansies, with a dec-
oration of white lilies.

Wreath of scarlet geraniums, with
mignonettes and spiraeas.

Bouquets and Monument Wreaths.

Here are some agreeable combinations
for cemetery bouquets:

Blue and white columbines, with can-
didum lilies.

Candidum lilies and lavender iris.

Day lilies and snowballs.

Peonies with fancy grasses.

Lilacs and spiraeas.

Weigela rosea with mignonettes and
white peonies.

Yellow iris and white columbines.

Purple iris and spirEeas.

Cape jasmines and lilacs.

sortment in harmonious sizes and colors

tie Memorial day offerings. "They out-
last cut flowers many times over and
are inexpensive, ' ' may be your argu-
ment to the customer.

Some nice orders are usually landed
for decorative pieces for monuments.
The wreath, as usual, holds the place
of favor, and second in preference
comes the heavy garland. How does a
monument wreath differ from any other
wreath? It should show from both
sides. How shall I make one which
shall be easily handled and placed?
After ascertaining the size of the shaft,
make two wreaths of the same size and
fasten them together, back to back.
Secure to the shaft near the center, and
if there is nothing about the shape of
• the shaft which holds the double wreath
in place, fasten it with a wire loop
around the monument and fasten each
end to the inside wire of the wreath
frame. If the height of the monument
is too much for you, make a loose
wreath and secure the ends after en-
circling the shaft.

Garland for a Monument.

A heavy garland, made on a substan-
tial rope of green and decorated with
flowers, makes a handsome and dignified
decoration for a monument. Make a
loop at the top, of the proper size to
catch on a top corner of the shaft. It
may be necessary to strengthen its hold
by wiring also. Then proceed to drape
it around the body of the monument till
a convenient place is found on the
pedestal for a stop. Attach to a formal
emblem, which may be placed on the
ground or against the vase. To elab-
orate this, bank all around the base of
the monument with blooming plants,
ferns or tall spikes of cut flowers, sink-
ing the vases or pots in the ground or
covering them with moss or cut green.
Let the whole decoration be in keeping
with color restrictions.

If it is desired to decorate the grave
or the lot further, cover it with panels,
in sections of convenient size, of low-
growing plants or cut flowers, after the
manner of a casket panel. The garland
for draping should be about one-half
as long again as the height of the
monument.

As incidental to this subject, the mat-
ter of inscriptions comes in for consid
eration. The artistic value of an in-
scription on a piece is small. It is one
of the things whicji a designer of re-
fined taste seldom suggests, and most
pieces are the better for its absence. A
pillow, a scroll, the arms of a cross —
these are examples of a few places
where an inscription may be happily
placed. In addition to these, we find
ourselves compelled to admit it on lodge
and society emblems, but only such
lettering as belongs to the badge and
never for the purpose of suggesting the
donors. Call attention to the fact that
the significance of the emblem and the
message of the flowers themselves
should be sufficient, without the literal
inscription. Gertrude Blair.

Cambridge, Mass. — The ground cov-
ered by Fred C. Becker's eleven green-
houses, on Cambridge street, is regarded
as some of the most valuable land in
the city. The business was founded in
1860 by the late Frank Becker, who was
succeeded in 1895 by his son, the pres-
ent proprietor. Karl F. Becker, son of
the present owner, has also been assist-
ing for some years in the management
of the business.

CEMETEBY WREATHS.

Loose Flowers Often Unsatisfactory.

A good many florists, probably a
great majority of them, still are selling
50-cent bunches as the big item for
Memorial day.

But a good many retailers have found
that the flower buying public always is
ready to take up with any suggestion
of better things — and this applies at
Memorial day just as thoroughly as it
does at Christmas or any other time.

Of all the unsatisfactory things flo-
rists can sell at Miemorial day, loose
cut flowers are the worst. The person
who goes to the cemetery with loose cut
flowers and no provision for using them
there, invariably meets with disap-
pointment. If there is no vase on the
plot, all that can be done with loose
flowers is to "strew" them on the
grave — that amounts to throwing tliem
on the ground, and it utterly destroys
the sentiment on which the observance

of the day is based. A person who pays
a dollar for a dozen good carnations
to take to a cemetery May 30, lays
them reverently on a grave and con-
templates the effect, is pretty sure to
conclude it wasn 't worth doing. Such
a customer doesn't come back. If peo-
ple ask for loose cut flowers, inquire if
there is a vase at the cemetery. If
not, offer to supply one at such small
cost that the sale will be certain. That
way saves the customers for other
years.

Low Priced Wreaths Best.

The 50-cent bouquet is an improve-
ment over the loose cut flowers — if
there is no vase it will at least stay
together when it is laid down — but
there is a still better way at Memorial
day.

The retailers who are looking up, not

down, are selling wreaths and sprays to
go to the cemeteries. Memorial day is
not a time for high prices. The wreaths
and sprays must be inexpensive, but
they can be sold in enormous quantity.
The experience of dozens of enterprising
retailers proves it.

Blackistone, at Washington, does an
enormous business in 2-dollar wreaths
for May 30. The accompanying illus-
tration shows Blackistone 's newspaper
advertisement. It is reduced to one-
fourth the size it occupies in the Wash-
ington papers. At the same time, Black-
istone backs up the newspaper adver-
tising by filling his window with these
Memorial wreaths. The sale is so great
that the wreaths must be manufactured
by hundreds in advance.

The prepared magnolia leaves that
are now sold by all the supply houses,
and which practically every retail flo-
rist carries in stock, make it possible
to have stock wreaths on hand at all
times; all they need is trimming with
flowers. Also, wreaths for Memorial
day can be made of galax leaves, box-
wood, ivy or other materials. These
can be made up in advance and stored
where they will keep in perfect condi-
tion until the morning of May 30. Then
they can be trimmed with whatever
flowers have been ordered and made
ready in quick time for delivery. When
you come to think of it, a pretty nice
wreath, not too large, can be made for
$2. It takes only a few flowers to make
quite a showing.

Sprays seem just a trifle less popular
than wreaths for Memorial day. But
you can make a mighty fine spray with
a dozen peonies and double your money
when you sell it at from $2 to $2.50.
For a little more money sprays of roses,
carnations or other flowers can be sup-
plied.

The people who buy these wreaths or
sprays at one Memorial da\' are almost
certain to be customers as regularly as
May 30 rolls around for years to come.
When they take such flowers to the
cemetery, they get an effect that looks
to be worth the money. Work away
from loose flowers or cheap bunches.
Sell wreaths.

TAGOINO WITH FLOWEBS.

A new use for flowers has been dis-
covered by A. L. Randall, the Chicago
wholesaler. He says that the latest
wrinkle in tag days is to do the tag-
ging with a flower instead of a piece
of pasteboard on a string. It recently
has been tried in cities in the south
and worked to perfection. People
"loosened up" much more freely for
a flower than they ever did for a tag.
The charity profited, the local florist
who supplied the flowers made a com-
fortable sum, and a big lot of stock
was called out of a heavily loaded
market.

The idea is capable of wide use;
there is no copyright on it. Any florist
can organize a tag day in his town;
there always are charities that are will-
ing to push along any new idea that
promises a profit. Every florist who is
in touch with the situation knows that
there are times when he can buy large
lots of cut flowers at a price that will
give him a chance to get a good return
for the effort necessary to work up the
order; it don't take much talk to im-
press people with the fact that a tag
day with flowers will make a hit.

EUEOPEAN HOTES.

Bemarkably fine collections of nar-
cissi have been shown recently at the
leading English shows in London and
Birmingham. The leading hybridizers
exhibited their latest novelties and sev-
eral awards were made.

At a conference in Birmingham, the
consensus of opinion showed disapproval
of the lines on which the hybridizers
are working, as they are neglecting gar-
den decorative varieties and varieties
of commercial value for cut flower pur-
poses, and introducing such as are only
of value to fanciers who grow for ex-
hibition. Some of the hybridizers pres-
ent admitted that among their seedlings
they discarded many on account of
their not being "show" flowers, and
promised to consider the question of
running a second department in their
trial grounds, to meet popular demands.
This view will commend itself to com-
mercial growers, as there have been few
narcissus introductions of commercial
value in recent years. The word "com-
mercial" is intended to be read in its
full sense. True, the seedlings intro-
duced have commercial value, but their
sale is limited, at £3, £5 and £10 per
bulb, to narcissus fanciers, and they do
not pass through the hands of seed mer-
chants.

W. Lewis, who formerly represented
Clibrans, nurserymen, Manchester, will
now represent John Waterer & Sons,
Ltd., Bagshot, Surrey, of rhododendron
fame. Thomas Lewis, his brother, has
been a successful representative of the
Messrs. Waterer for several years.

TEOUBLE WITH CATERPILIjyBS.

Enclosed find a moth which is caus-
ing us considerable annoyance while
still in the caterpillar form by eating
the under side of leaves. We have tried
heavy fumigating and spraying with-
out results. Do you know of any
remedy? H. F. C.

The caterpillar of the enclosed moth
is quite annoying, being specially bad
on chrysanthemums, cinerarias and
marguerites, also attacking geraniums
and some other plants. Some sticky

fly papers hung around will attract and
catch many of the moths and fumiga-
tion should also destroy them, but is
usually ineffectual against the cater-
pillars themselves. Kill all the moths
you possibly can by hand, destroy the
larvse in the same way and you will
soon exterminate them. C. W.

MILDEW AND LEAF BOLLEBS.

Can you tell me what to do with my
rose bushes? I think they are troubled
with mildew. The leaves curl up, with
a white, dry dust underneath and some-
times on the buds. I have used dry
sulphur, but it does not seem to have
any .effect. Also, what should I do for
slugfe on roses? I enclose a leaf in-
fested with rust. F. J. H.

Sulphur dusted on the foliage when
it is a little damp with dew will be
found the best remedy for mildew.
Thefe are a number of special remedies,
amopg which Hammond's Grape Dust
is one of the best. Blow the sulphur
on with a pair of powder bellows. To
destroy the leaf roller, or slug, dust
hellebore on the foliage as soon as the

second leaves appear. More than one
application may be necessary, as rains
will sometimes wash away the poison.
If white thrips appear, force of water
is the best remedy, while any of the
soap solutions or kerosene emulsion will
care for black or green aphis if it ap-
pears. If you have a good water pres-
sure convenient to your bushes, use it
freely and you will have little trouble
with insect pests. They always breed
faster when the plants are suffering
from a lack of moisture. W. N. C.

ROSES IN ALABAMA.

Will Killarney, Bride, Maid, Eich-
mond and Beauties do better on
benches than on beds composed of six
inches of soil over about the same
depth of cinders? What is the best

night temperature for Richmond f
Could it be grown successfully in the
same house with Killarney? Is it
treated like Killarney? If not, in what
respects does the treatment differ?
My location is Alabama. F. G.

Killarney, Bride, Bridesmaid and
Richmond will all do quite well in the
same house. An average night tem-
perature of 56 degrees during winter
will be found about right. Unless you
have customers who continue to call
for Bride and Maid, you would be well
advised in dropping these two in favor
of Killarney and White Killarney.
Both sell much better than the older
sorts in all the markets; in fact. Bride
and Maid are hard to sell when Kil-
larney is procurable, and their numbers
are being rapidly reduced.

All the roses named will do much
better in solid beds than on raised
benches. The latter would give you
possibly a few more flowers in mid-
winter, but they would not average so
well either in quantity or quality as
those in beds. Richmond's treatment
differs little from that of Killarney.
The objection to Richmond is that it
is not sufficiently double, and is of lit-
tle value when hot weather has set in.
There are promising red sports of Kil-
larney which should be heard from
later. Rhea Reid is also an excellent
red rose, a good forcer, and with
greater substance than Richmond it
would certainly be worthy of a trial
from you. C. W.

value in recent years. The word "com-

full sense. True, the seedlings intro-
duced have commercial value, but their
sale is limited, at £3, £5 and £10 per
bulb, to narcissus fanciers, and they do
not pass through the hands of seed mer-
chants.

DISCOLORED GESANIUM FOUAOE.

Please tell nio what is the matter with
my geranium plants. I am enclosing
some leaves, so that you can see how
they look. F. G.

The leaves forwarded were of a uni-
form brown color when received, and it
is difficult to tell what has been the
trouble with them. Leaving cuttings
too long in the propagating bench,
keeping them too moist and close and
damping the foliage too much are prob-
able causes of the disease. Spread the
plants out. Throw away any that are
badly affected and pick bad foliage
from the others. Give them all possible
sunlight and abundant ventilation and
let them dry out well between water-
ings; let the night temperature run
from 45 to 50 degrees and no higher;
keep the atmosphere on the dry side
and your plants should show improve-
ment. C. W.

GEEANIUMS NOT FLOWEEING.

Here is a sample of my geraniums
this season. I have been growing them
over thirty years and never had them
like this before. The treatment has
been the same as in other seasons, but
you will notice that I have a great
deal of leaf growth but scarcely any
buds; also, the buds that come drop off
as soon as they begin to show color.
WJiat is the trouble and how should I
set about correcting it? R. C. L.

The sample plant received had an

abundance of soft, rather weak-looking
growths and the flower trusses were
yellow. I think it probable that you
have given the plants too much nitrog-
enous food. To grow them stocky and
have them flower freely, little rotted
manure should be used in the soil, and
that should be thoroughly decomposed.
Some fine bone should be added to the
soil, at the rate of a 3-inch potful to a
bushel of soil. Potting should be firmly
done. The plants should never be kept
wet, as this causes a rank, soft and al-
most flowerless growth. On the other
hand, if let dry out fairly well between
waterings, the wood becomes hard and
stocky, and this tends to floriferous-
ness. A cool, sunny and airy house
suits geraniums. The temperature
should not be higher than 50 degrees
at night and 45 degrees will answer
well; 55 degrees is too high. Avoid
using stimulating foods, such as nitrate
of soda, cow manure, etc., unless the
plants look starved and appear in need
of a tonic.

It is late now to correct any short-
comings in the geraniums, but if you
take cuttings from strong, field-grown
stock just before freezing weather,
carry them cool over winter and pot
along as suggested from time to time
in The Review, you should have no fur-
ther trouble of this kind. C. W.

in 4-inch pots in bloom for Thanks-
giving? ^- ^- ^*

In order to have good 4 inch pots of
geraniums blooming for Thanksgiving,
put the cuttings in 2-inch pots of sandy
loam toward the end of May. They
will root either in a greenhouse or cold-
frame, and should not be shaded.
Among double varieties you will find
the following good: Alphonse Ricard,
vermilion; Jean Viaud, mauve rose;
E. H. Trego, bright scarlet; Beaute
Poitevine, shrimp pink, shading to
white; S. A. Nutt, dark red; Mme.
Landry, salmon pink; La Favorite, pure
white; Jean Oberle, peach pink, and
Marquise de Castellane, soft crimson.

In the single section, the following
make excellent pot plants: Paul Cram-
pel, brilliant scarlet; Snowdrop, pure
white; Jacquerie, rich glowing crimson;
The Sirdar, rich scarlet, small white
eye; Maxime Kovalevski, vermilion
orange; Ian Maclaren, salmon orange;
Scaramouche, reddish salmon, and Rich-
mond Beauty, scarlet, white center.

For home retail trade the singles will
be found much better than the doubles,
as they flower more profusely, but for
shipping to a distance doubles should
have the call. Keep the flowers pinched
off the plants until early in October,
and then let them develop. Geraniums
for pot culture are better if kept under
glass all the time. C. W.

FILLING CEMETERY VASES.

After the arrival of the outdoor plant-
ing season, a considerable proportion of
the business of florists who are situated
in the neighborhood of cemeteries —
especially if they are "good, live ceme-
teries"— consists in the filling of ceme-
tery vases. Most florists find that this
department of their work recompenses
them well for all the time, effort and
attention it requires.

Whether the profits are great or small
depends much, of course, "on two factors
which largely determine results in every
line of trade; namely, the degree of

competition which the florist must en-
counter and the way in which he man-
ages, systematizes and pushes the work.
In both of these respects the cemetery
work throughout the country is on a
somewhat uncertain basis. The prices
are not well established, and in some
localities, therefore, one florist has a
virtual monopoly of the business and
there is nothing to prevent its being
reasonably lucrative. In other commu-
nities the competition is ruthlessly keen
and the prices are reduced till the mar-
gin of profit is so narrow as to be in-
visible to the naked eye. When one or
two florists slash the prices recklessly,
the others may be compelled to follow
the bad example or retire from the
struggle.

It seems to be becoming a more and
more common practice, when the vases
are to be filled, to remove them, or at
least the detachable tops or bowls, to
the greenhouses for that purpose. The
late William Scott said: "We used
to load up wagons and drive to the
cemetery with plants and soil, but find
a much better plan is to bring home the
top or bowl of the vase, fill it and
return it."

Many floiists, having a large, well
systematized trade of this sort, reserve
a conspicuous part of their greenhouse
grounds, near the store or the front en-
trance, as a place in which to collect,
fill and arrange the vases. There the
vases, when filled, receive the florist's
expert attention until the date arrives
for their delivery. The majority of
them, perhaps, are delivered a few days
before Memorial day.

The illustration shows a corner of
the greenhouse grounds of Wm. Oakes
& Son, Westfield, Mass., with some rows

of cemetery vases, well filled and neatly
arranged, awaiting the time for de-
livery. No data accompanied the photo-
graph, but it speaks well for itself and
serves well to illustrate the subject.

FOR PORCH AND PIAZZA.

Among the encouraging signs of the
times, from the florist 's point of view, is
the increasing use, from year to year,
of window and porch boxes, especially
in the residence districts of the cities
and larger, towns. There is no good
reason why the filling of these boxes
should not be a profitable branch uf
the business, :f well managed, and if the
right preparations are made before the
opening of the season. It is well, also,
to begin the season early, by encourag-
ing the customers to have the planting
done as soon i>s the weather is favorable,
rather than postpone the work unneces-
sarily. As a means of furnishing this
encouragement, and at the same time in-
creasing the demand as well as hasten-
ing it, perhaps the florist can employ
no better method than to display one or
two tastefully planted boxes in front
of his own store. He can thus supply
a strong incentive and a valuable object
lesson.

Of course any fairly enterprising flo-
rist attends to the matter of providing
beforehand a good supply of suitable
soil, and it is hardly necessary to re-
mind him of the fact that, since the
plants are crowded into narrow space
and their root run is restricted, the
soil must be proportionately rich. The
compost generally recommended for the
purpose is about as follows: Two-thirds
fibrous loam, one-third dry cow manure
passed through a coarse screen, and a

3-inch potful of fine bone to each bushel
of soil.

There seems to be general agreement
in the opinion that the box planting
should be done at the greenhouses,
rather than at the customers' homes..
One of The Eevilw's correspondents
says emphatically: "All boxes are best
filled at the greenhouses. One experi-
ence in carting soil and plants to a
distance, and being short of this or that,
will convince anyone of this."

The photograph here reproduced
shows a pleasing sample of this sort of
porch and piazza decoration — a sample
of the work done by W. A. & J. S. Bit-
lerjjpf the Highland Park Greenhouses,
Kokomo, Ind. The residence that is thus
beautified belongs to A. V. Conradt, su-
perintendent of the Great Western Pot-
tery Works, of Kokomo. The boxes
were filled with plain green vinca, varie-
gated vinca, Sprengeri, Latania Bor-
bonica, geraniums, marguerites, coleus,
and" Ageratum Little Blue Star. They
were filled May 26, 1910, and were
photographed August 26, 1910.

HANQING BASKETS.

While hanging baskets are not used
to anything like the extent of either
window or piazza boxes, there seems to
be an increasing number of these called
for each year. Wire baskets, of course,
are the best. Wooden ones are clumsy
and usually square, which is not a suit-
able shape. It may be that orders for
these baskets of plants are not re-
ceived until the time they are wanted
post-haste, but if it is known in advance
what will have to be filled it is a great
advantage to do the work now and give
the plants a chance to get established

before delivering them. Baskets filled
even a couple of weeks before being
sent out do, not have the freshly filled
appearance incidental to those just
made up, and there are occasional
stormy days, even in the busy month of
May, when this work can be done. Line
the baskets well with moss; either
sphagnum or sheet moss will answer,
and use soil well enriched with old
rotted manure. Remember the plants
have only a limited space in which to
root and if the soil is not good at the
start they will soon show signs of
starvation.

Almost any of the pendent plants
used ordinarih' in window boxes are
adaptable for baskets, such as green
and variegated vincas, maurandias, gle-

chomas, English ivy, Lobelia gracilis,
some of the begonias. Asparagus Spren-
geri, nasturtiums, ivy-leaved geraniums
and others which might be named. As-
paragus Sprengeri answers nicely by
itself where the location is somewhat
shaded and green effects are wanted.
Ivy geraniums also prefer a little shade,
as do fuchsias, which are excellent bas-
ket subjects. Among the finest flower-
ing basket plants where something out
of the ordinary and rather choice is
needed, are the achimines. These can bo
planted all over the basket. They must
have a shaded house to bring them
along and a fair amount of warmth, and
if giyefi^ a sheltered place under the
piazza they make a beautiful show, no
basket whatever being visible.

PEONY CULTURE.

[A paper by E. J. Shaylor, of WelleBley Farms,
Mass., read before the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club of Boston, May 16, 1911.]

The peony is a native of cold coun-
tries mostly, and is hardy. The ancients
used both the roots and seeds in a me-
dicinal way. It is related that in the
Trojan war one Paeon used the roots to
heal the sick and the wounded, and
from him the name was derived. I re-
member vaguely that in my childhood,
.about sixty years ago, some of my
neighbors obtained some roots to be
steeped for medicine; so its use for such
purposes came nearly down to the pres-
ent. The roots, dried, were worn also
about the neck to ward off disease. The
seeds were taken inwardly to shoo
away the nightmare.

We are all acquainted with a head
gardener of Wellesley, who, hearing a
workman complain of malaria, took
from his pocket some peony seeds, and
handing them to him in a joking way,
said, "Here, Tim, are some pills; try
them and maybe they will help you."
Sure enough, Tim took them regularly
for a few days, until the head gardener
thought the joke had gone far enough,
and then he asked him how he was. Tim
said he was better, and gave the pills
credit. Then the head gardener told
him what they were. To the ancients
it was dead earnest and no .joke. They

'I he plautii.^ of jieoiiios should be
rl'-ne with care. It is not enough sim-
] iy to dig a hole and put them in.
Trench the ground deeply and work
in old manure. It does good to mix
in some bone mca' or hardwood ashes,
or a potato fertilizer strong in potash.
The most successful field planting I
ever made was done in this way. The
patch was new ground which had been

grubbed over in summer. In Septem-
ber furrows were dug to the depth of
twelve or fourteen inches and the loam
was piled along the rows in ridges.
In the bottom of the trenches old ma-
nure was put and chopped into the soil
with the spade. On the ridges of loam
that lay along the trenches we scat-
tered some air-slaked lime and some
potato fertilizer. As the roots were
set, this loam was filled in, thus mixing
the lime and the fertilizer well with
the soil. The next spring, when the
plants were just coming up, some bone
meal was scattered along ^ one side of
the rows, and some of the same kind
of potato fertilizer along the other
side, and these were cultivated in with
a hand cultivator. This planting gave
the best results, both in blooms and
roots, that I ever obtained.

Never use any fresh manure. One
year I made a mistake and set some
rows of peonies so that the rows ran
through a place where a pile of manure
had lain for six months. They were
set in the fall. The next spring I no-
ticed at once that the peonies where
the manure pile had lain were in
trouble. I took them up and scrubbed)
them off in a tub of water. The strong
soil was eating them up. They were
set out in another place and I saved
most of them. I have no doubt that if
they had been left where they were,
they would all have been lost.

Be sure that your place has good
drainage. If the soil becomes sour or
soggy, good-by to your roots; I don't
know why, only I know that it will
either kill them outright or make them
worthless. After they are set out in
good shape, do not forget that you
must agitate the hoe about them quite
often. Clean culture is the best trick
to play in your garden.

Diseases and Pests.

Insects trouble them some. The cut-
worm likes them for breakfast, dinner

and supper, and for lunch between
meals. I have received letters asking,
"What shall I do to keep the ants
off the peony buds!" My answer is,
"Nothing." The sap that is in the
stalk is like^. a sweet syrup, and it
exudes at the; top. The ants only
drink that. I presume the sweetness of
the stalk is the reason for the cut-
worms' partiality to them. The rose
bug comes about the time peonies are
ending, and they eat the petals off the
blooms. Generally, however, peonies
are over before these come in numbers
sufBcient to do much harm.

Peonies have been considered iron-
clad, but my experience is that they
have their chills, the same as I have.
The black rot gets in and eats away
the roots. Air-slaked lime is the best
remedy I have found. Dig away the
loam, put in some lime and put back
fresh loam. If you can move thein to a
new place, then cut the rot away, dust
the roots with lime and reset them.v I
think this is caused sometimesyby
their being set entirely in the Made,
where dampnes8-does"1t^ iff-y<}ur)place
is shady, then set the roots four feet
apart, so the air can circulate freely
about them. I do not recommend set-
ting peonies in complete shade; they
should have half sun, anyway.

Club-foot or Knotty Hoot.

There is also the club-foot or knotty
root, which affects peony roots. I have
not been able to master this. Roots
have been sent to Professor Bessie at
Miami, Fla., one of the best govern-
ment experts; also to Amherst, in our
own state, and to Professor Whetzel, at
Cornell, and I have not had any help
from any of them. Professor Bessie ad-
vised soaking the roots in a solution
of formalin. This I did, but it did not
help me any. I wrote to A. Dessert,
and he said he had some of these af-
fected roots, from the same source from
which mine came, "for ten years and
they have never bloomed, and I con-
sider them lost. ' ' I got out of patience
with mine, and, after keeping them
five years, threw most of them on the
dump. In some extreme cases, some
of these roots have grown out of it.
As for me, I have some now which I
have had for eight years and which
are failures.

I am not sure but there is a blight
that affects the leaf and stem and
causes the root to rot — something in
the nature of the potato blight. Some
few roots seem to be affected in this
way. I have never been troubled with
it except in a small way, and have
paid no attention to it. It could, no
doubt, be controlled by spraying with
Bordeaux mixture.

Where the buds are blighted, it is
well to cut them off and burn them
up. The stem-wilt is a fungous blight,
but it does not live over winter. Plants
affected one year may be unaffected
the next.

Japanese or Imperial Peonies.

The varieties which are called Jap-
anese peonies, or imperial peonies by
the Englishmen, have their ups and
downs. They seem to go all to pieces
some years and do nothing at all. They
do not seem to be of good constitu-
tion. Peonies of this kind that are
grown from seed here in America may
be more vigorous. There are some
others, among the regular peony roots,
which go to pieces when they are
divided. They are weak. Most of

Eichardson 's seedlings do not recover
after division for three or four years.
A few of these can be counted on,
such as Harry Woodward — or grandi-
flora, as I think it was originally
named — Kubra superba and Milton Hill,
The others seem to be weak.

All my English imperial peonies
went to pieces after division, and many
of the English varieties of the regular
peonies.

There are many positions in which
peonies can be planted to be efifective.
Their blooms are large and their colors
carry well long distances. In hedges,
I would use solid colors. For borders
and beds, use mixed colors. Borders
and beds are best used where one wants
to cut flowers for the indoor rooms.
The sun fades the flowers out quickly.
The most chaste and delicate colors
will change in a forenoon in the sun.
To get these fresh and delicate colors
for your vases indoors, I advise cutting
when the buds are only half open and
putting them down-cellar; then, when
they are brought up, they will quickly
open, retaining all their beautiful col-
ors and fragrance.

Growing Them From Seed.

To grow peonies from seed is inter-
esting. Gather the seed as the pods
open in August and September, and
sow at once. I sow in drills about as
you would peas. Some come up the
first year, some in two years, and
some not until three years after
planting.

After they have grown a year in
these rows, I transplant them, giving
them room enough so I can leave them
in one place until they bloom, so as to
see which ones to try out. These are
taken out and put into the trial
grounds, where they will not have to
be moved for three or four years. No
one can tell what a peony will amount
to until it has been set about three
years and -has become established.

Seedlings will not give characteristic
flowers in less than two or three years.
They are like divisions of old roots.
I have had divisions produce single
blooms the first year, and after two or
three years the full doubles came. Some
think they "wabble," but it is not
80. I never knew the color to change.
The form alters; that is all. Do not
name a seedling until you have flow-
ered it three or four years in a perma-
nent place. You can not grow peonies
from seed with any satisfactory success
unless you possess lots of patience.
Some Kellable Varieties.

Now a word to the florists. There
are about a half-dozen white or nearly
white vari«ties on which you can
count for money-making blooms. They
will not disappoint you when any one
has blooms. They will always be
choice and bring the top figures. These
are Festiva maxima, Mme. de Verne-
ville, Baroness Schroeder, Marie Le-
moine, Eugenie Verdier often sold as
Pottsi alba, and Harry Woodward. Two
of these are early, one is midseason,
two are medium late, and one is the
latest bloomer of all.

There are lots of pinks and flesh
colors. The first pinks for me came
from Umbellata rosea— or Sarah Bern-
hardt, as it was first called— Edith
Lyttleton and Polyphemus. These were
all two days or more ahead of Edulis
superba. In fact, they were the first
blooms for weddings or receptions that
I had. The list of pinks is a long one.

with all shades from those that start
with a blush to the deeper ones.

In reds or crimsons there are only a
few.

Disbudding and Cutting.

To grow large blooms, you must dis-
bud. The blooms wanted to sell by
the dozen can all be disbudded. The
blooms wanted for decorative purposes,
where the varieties bloom in clusters,
should be left with all the buds on.
There are a number of varieties that

open both the terminal bud and the
laterals at the same time; these make
a large show, giving a stalk with three
or four blooms.

In cutting peonies it is best not to
cut more than one-half of the foliage
away. If a clump has twenty stalks,
I would not cut more than ten stalks.
Leave at least one leaf-stem on each
stalk; it is really better to leave two
when you can. Some have ruined their

roots by cutting all the stalks and also
cutting closely. That is the way to
kill anything — cutting it down when
in full leaf. It is more profitable to
keep your roots vigorous and growing
than to sell everything out one year
and ruin your roots. If your customers
insist on long stems or nothing, then
sell them the clumps, charging what
they are worth added to the cost of
the flowers.

I have not told you anything of the
new and superb varieties that are to
be had in peonies. Each year brings
out new ones. Some of them are, with-
out doubt, acquisitions to the existing
varieties. Their story is one by itself,
which I "will leave for another day.

Treatment of Old Clumps.

After your clumps become old and
the blooms are smaller, it is best to
feed them liberally each spring by
digging in bone meal about the roots.
A good potato fertilizer, which runs
4 — 6 — 10, is also good. If they then do
not grow good blooms, divide them
and set in new ground. This is advis-
able, anyway, once in eight or ten
years.

You will all find that in growing
anything well, it will take your best
care and thought. It is not easy, and
you must not think of it except in this
light, that to do anything that is a
credit to you takes great pains.

About all I have said to you has
been gained from practice, not from
observation. I tell it to you to help
you, to spur you on to do your best
with these noble flowers. To grow fine'
flowers is grand work, but to tell others
how to do it is grander and not nearly
so hard.

Diseases and Pests.

Insects tiouble them soiiu'. The cut-
worm lik<'s them fill' bicakfast, (linner

and supper, and for lunch between
meals. I have received letters asking,
"What shall I do to keep the anta
off the peony buds?" My answer is,
"Xothiug. " The sap that is in the

exudes at the top. The ants only

worms' partiality to them. The rose

think this is caused Mimetinu^s by
their being set entirely in the shade,
where dam|)iiess does it. If .vour place
is shad.v, then set the roots four feet
apart, so the air can circulate freely
about them. T do not recommend set-
ting ]ieonies in complete shade; they
sliouhi have half sun, an,vAvay.

Club-foot or Knotty Root.

There is also the club-foot or knotty
root, which affects jteony roots. I ha\e
not been able to nnistcM- this. Roots
have been sent to Professor Bessie at
Miami. Fla., one of the best govern-
nuMit experts; also to Andierst, in our
own state, and to Professor Whetzel, at
f'oriudl. and I ha\e not had an,v help
from any of them. Professor Bessie ad-
\ised soaking the roots in a solution
of fornuilin. This I did, but it did not
hel|) nu' any. I wrote to A. Dessert,
.ami he said he had some of these af-
fected roots, from the sanu' smirce from
which mine came, "for ten years and
they have never bloonuMl, a.nd I con-
sider them lost." T got out of patience
after keeping them
most of them on the
extreme cases, some
of these roots have grown out of it.
As for nu^, I have some now which I
have had for eight years and which
are failures.

I am not sure but there is a lilight
that afTects the leaf and stem and
causes the root to rot — something in
the nature of the potato blight. Some
few roots seem to be affected in this
way. T have never been troubled with
it except in a small way, and have
paid no attention to it. It could, no
doubt, be controlled l)y s[traying with

Growing Them From Seed.

To grow jjconies from seed is inter-
esting. Gather llie seed as the pods
ojieu in August and September, and
sow at onee. I sow in drills about as
you would ]ieas. Some come up the
first year, some in two years, and
souH' not until three vi-ars after
lilaiiting.

After tlu'v liax'e grown a vear in
these rows, I trnnsplant them, giving
them room eiumgli so 1 ciui leave them
in one jdace until they bloom, so as to
see which ones to try out. These are
taken out and jiui into the trial
grounds, where they will not have to
be moved for three or four years. No
one can tell what a jieony will amount
to until it has been set about three
^•ears and has become established.

Seedlings will not gi\e characteristic
tlowiM's in less than two or three years.
They are like divisions of old roots.
I have had di\isions produce single
blooms the first year, ami after two or
three years the full doubles cauu". Souu'
think they "wabble."" imt it is not
so. I never knew the color to change.
The form .alters; tiiat is all. Do not
name a seedling until you have flow-
«'red it three or four ye;irs in a perma-
nent place. Vou can not grow jieonies
from seed with any satisf.-udory success
unless you possess lots of patience.

ThcWcekly Florists' Review.

A BAD CASE OF THBIPS.

I am sending you some samples of
carnations. Plase tell me what is the
matter with them. Last year the
trouble developed about the middle of
May and ruined the crop. It first ap-
peared when the buds began to show
color. The stock now is in fine shape.
There is a heavy crop of buds, with
nice, stiff, long stems, but those spots
are beginning to show on the petals.
The carnations are planted in a house
30x90, with side and ridge ventila-
tion, and the air is fully turned on in
fair weather. They are planted in
about five inches of soil. When I
benched them I used well rotted sheep
manure and bone meal; I have used
no fertilizer since then. I water when
the soil becomes dry — about every third
day. Now, what causes the petals to
decay or turn brown and how can I
prevent it? J. E. J.

The cause of your trouble is one
of the most common ones that con-
front the carnation grower; indeed, it
probably gives us more concern than
any other. There is perhaps no pest or
disease which we have to combat so
continually and persistently as we do
these thrips. They are undoubtedly at
the bottom of your trouble; the brown
edges of the petals show that most con-
clusively.

This late in the season, with warm
weather right upon you, you will find
it an uphill job to get the pest under
control. With a good foothold in a
carnation house, they multiply by the
millions after warm weather sets in,
and it takes heroic measures to get rid
of them. By spraying or fumigating
throughout the winter we keep them
down, and afterward, with a little in-
crease in the doses applied, we are able
usually to keep the plants fairly free
from them. Persistence is certainly
the key to success in combating thrips.
Get a supply of one of the standard
nicotine solutions and use it both as
a spray and as a fumigant; alternate
between the two and skip one day
between applications. Keep this up
until you can see that you are getting
the upper hand; then gradually dimin-
ish until you are making two applica-
tions each week.

Bear in mind that the spots will
not disappear as soon as you have de-
stroyed the insects. They puncture
the petals when these are young and
tender, and perhaps two weeks or more
pass before the damage is really ap-
parent. You should, however, begin to
see an improvement in about three

weeks if your efforts are successful.
Tear open a bud occasionally and look
for a tiny insect, about one-sixteenth of
an inch long and of a yellowish-brown
color. I found plenty of them in the
specimens you forwarded. These punc-
ture the petals, destroying the tissue,
which turns brown or a dead color
when exposed to the sun. When you
can find no more of these insects, your
trouble will disappear. A. F. J. B.

THE BRITISH CABNATION SHOW.

The annual spring show of the Per-
petual Flowering Carnation Society was
held in the Eoyal Botanic Gardens, Lon-
don, May 2 and 3. The display of
blooms was fully up to the average and
in several classes the quality has never
been surpassed. Richness in color and
size of blooms were especially com-
mented upon. Gold medals were award-
ed to artistic arrangements of choice
collections from Young & Co., Chelten-
ham; C. Engelmann, Saffron Walden,
and H. Burnett, Guernsey. There was
only one new variety before the floral
committee, Edith Waters, bright cerise,
from C. F. Waters, Balcombe, and it
received an award of merit.

The American challenge cup for three
vases of American varieties distributed
since January 1, 1909, was won by B.
Bell, Guernsey, with J. Whitcomb Eiley,
Bay State and Gov. Deneen. It was
acknowledged that all three were
shown better than ever previously seen
in England. W. E. Wallace, Eaton
Bray, was second with Scarlet Glow,
May Day and Delight. The Brunton
challenge cup for three vases of Brit-
ish raised varieties was won by C.
Engelmann, with Eex, Eegina and
Carola. The Covent Garden challenge
bowl for two varieties, sixty blooms of
each, went to W. E. Wallace with
White Enchantress and Eose-pink En-
chantress. A silver gilt medal for the
best vase in the show was carried off
by B. Bell with magnificent blooms of
Mrs. C. W. Ward.

In the color classes the competition
between professional growers was keen,
most of the varieties winning being of
American origin. In the classes for
amateur growers there was spirited
competition, and eight dinner table
decorations were a splendid feature of
the show.

At the dinner, the chairman, J. S.
Brunton, in proposing the toast of the
king and queen, alluded to the great
satisfaction that existed in the minds
of all carnation growers at the choice
of her majesty in selecting the carna-

tion for the coronation banquet. No
doubt it would prove a boon to grow-
ers, as it would go a long way towards
still further raising the popularity of
the flower. Messrs Brunton, Engel-
mann and Wallace reported on their
visit to the National Show at Boston,
Mass., and to the annual meeting of the
American Carnation Society. The re-
ports were listened to With much inter-
est. The society's winter show will be
held December 5 and 6. Bee.

CULTURAL NOTES.

[A paper by Ferdinand Kolbe, of North Detroit.
reaJ before the Detroit Florists' Club, continued
from The llevlew of May 11.]

All-the-year Indoor Culture.

For the method of growing carna-
tions in pots all summer, or for the all-
season indoor culture, I have no use, as
I think both methods are too expensive.
In the first method the plants do not
get branched enough to make it pay at
the prices we are realizing for them.
The watering with the hose all summer
and shifting from one size of pot to
another are also big items against this
plan. The indoor culture tends to
weaken the constitution of our stock.
I think that if this method were kept
up every year with the same stock, our
favorites would run out in a few years
and there would be a good deal more
opportunity for the seedling raiser. Is
it any wonder that poor Lawson went
to the bad, considering the treatment
to which it was subjected? It seems
to me my Lawson family is today in as
good health and vigor as ever. An-
other variety that would not stand
much abuse is Beacon. The propagator
can not be too cautious in the selection
of stock, as it is. Many of you prob-
ably have noticed how some plants
have more split flowers than others. It
can be detected by examining the
plants closely, when you will easily no-
tice the weak constitution of some of
them. As far as I can judge, the na-
ture of the carnation, unlike that of
the rose, has not yet been sufficiently
transformed to adapt it to all-year in-
door culture.

Preparations for Housing.

Now as to housing the stock. In the
first place, I should not have neglected,
of course, to prepare my soil. I think
the easiest way is to plow a piece of
sod land in fall, with a liberal coat of
manure on it. The frost does the chop-
ping during the winter. In the spring
repeat the operation several times. In
this way we can save a man's wages
for several weeks. If it can not be-

done this way, make the pile as low as
possible, so the frost and air can get
at it. You can not put in too much
fertilizer. One-fourth stable manure is
not too much, if well rotted — horse ma-
nure for heavy soil and cow manure
for light soil. As to the texture of the
soil, the carnation is not particular, al-
though I am inclined to think that mod-
erately heavy soil is preferable. I
have heard growers say that in solid
beds the soil does not need to be re-
newed every year. I wish this were
so, but I think it pays more than dou-
ble to do it; we gain that much in
quality.

In preparing the benches before
planting, I must say that it is impor-
tant to see that the whole house, as
well as the benches, is thoroughly
cleaned and whitewashed, in order to
kill as many insects as possible, es-
pecially thrips, which seem to be quite
a nuisance in plant growing. Six inches
of soil I consider about the right depth
for carnations.

In the House.

I do not think it necessary to give
details as to the operation of planting,
but can not refrain from cautioning the
planter as to depth. Planting too deep
is certainly one of the main causes of
stem-rot. I try to place the plants as
nearly as possible in the same position
as they were when standing outside,
roots and all. I plant them 10x11
inches apart. By doubling up I ar-
range it so that I have plants with
ten to fifteen well developed shoots.
This insures a fairly good crop for the,
season. After planting I give a good
soaking singly. After that I keep them
only moderately moist at the roots, but
keep up frequent syringing on sunny
days until they are started. If the
weather happens to be sunny during
planting time, a little shade for a week
or so is beneficial, but it should not be
left on too long, or it will cause a
weak and spindly growth. We can not
be too particular at this time of the
game, for on the starting of the plants
depends a great deal of our season 'a
success.

The next consideration is the culti-
vating and staking. All I have to say
here is, do not wait too long; we all

know the consequences. It pays to dis-
bud before the side buds get as big as
the main bud; yet it is not advisable
to take them too small.

(To be continued)

OUTDOOR INSECT PESTS.

For the next few weeks insect pests
outdoors will abound and, in order to
save trees from defoliation, insure per-
fect fruit and protect a large variety
of plants from complete or partial de-
struction, a vigorous warfare must be
waged. No florist's outfit is complete
without some of the paraphernalia for
spraying trees and shrubs. Barrel
sprayers mounted on wheels, or ordi-
narj:_ barrels placed in an express
wagon, with a pump attachment, are
serviceable. All sprayers should have
agitators to keep the spraying liquid
thoroughly stirred. It would seem as

though many florists might do con-
siderable of this work and make a
good profit on it. The necessary outfit
is not costly and once customers find
that they can have their trees and
shrubs protected at a moderate cost,
the up-to-date florist who enters this
field is assured of a good return on the
little money invested.

The slug or leaf roller will already
in some cases have attacked hardy
roses. Two or three dustings of helle-
bore early in the morning, while the
leaves are slightly damp, usually set-
tles them. If they have beeii allowed
to get a start, it will pay to go over
them and squeeze the slugs in the
rolled up leaves. Spraying with Ivory
soap, Whale Oil soap, kerosene emul-
sion or any of the nicotine extracts
will take care of aphis. Where a hose
can be called into use and there is a
good water pressure, the surest way
to keep spider, white thrips and aphis
in check is to syringe the plants vig-
orously every evening. Arsenate of
lead should not be used on roses. It
will kill any slugs on the foliage, but
whitens the leaves so that they are
unsightly. If used at all on them, a
little yellow ocher and Prussian blue
should be added to make the color like
the foliage.

Arsenate of lead is the best of all
poisons for leaf-eating worms of every
description, and while most commodi-
ties have been rising in price of late
years, this has been steadily declining,
the present prices being the lowest on
record. For the currant worms, potato
beetles, tussock moths, gypsy moths,
brown-tail moths, elm beetles, tent cat-
erpillars and other pests, if the foliage
is sprayed as soon as developed at the
rate of four pounds to fifty gallons of
water and well dried in before rain
comes, there is little fear of defolia-
tion. It is sometimes necessary to make
the mixture stronger if the caterpillars
have been allowed to get in their work
and have reached a considerable size;
in such cases five to six pounds or even
more can be used with perfect safety.

Memorial Day Crops.

MemoTial day is near. It is the
time when flowers of every description
sell well. As a cut flower holiday it is
away ahead of Easter, as gluts are
practically unknown. Everyone wants
flowers on this occasion and every
eflEort should be made to time all possi-
ble crops about as exactly as weather
conditions will permit. It is easy to
force along late lilies and the early
ones can be cut and stood in water in
a cold cellar. Such crops as ten weeks'
stocks, antirrhinumsj candytuft and
feverfew, if well advanced, must have
the glass shaded and be kept as cool
as possible. Hold as many of these
flowers as possible for Memorial day,
as the demand for them is not now
good. Gladioli of both the large and
small-flowered types are invaluable at
this season. They should be cut as
soon as the first flowers open and kept
in a good bulk of cold water. Spanish
iris, if in flats, can be moved and re-
tarded, but if in benches it will be
difficult to hold it back. Spiraea Jap-
onica is a useful cheap flower for
bunching. Pots can be easily retarded,
but when planted out it may be neces-
sary to cut part of the crop and hold
in water. Much can be done in the
case of all these Memorial day crops
by shading the glass rather heavily
and giving an abundance of ventila-
tion.

Asters.

The ground for the main batch of
asters should have been plowed in the
autumn and, if kept well stirred by the
horse or hand cultivator, should now
be in nice condition for planting. If
cutworms are troublesome, spread some
lime or soot over the ground and
scratch it in. If grass land borders
your aster patch, scatter a little gas
lime along the 'fedges of the grass;
cutworms have no use for this. If
the seeds were sown outdoors, the
plants probably will not be ready to
plant out before the middle of June,
but if started under glass they will
require planting earlier. Take advan-
tage of cool, moist and cloudy weather
to do the planting, and be sure to allow
the strong, vigorous varieties, such as
Vick's Branching and Semple's, more
room than you would smaller sorts,
such as Victoria, Peony, Perfection and
Queen of the Market. To have good
asters, the land must have been well
manured, and in dry seasons, such as
we have had of late years, bottom
lands have given plants with really
remarkable stems. Asters will stand
a surprisingly long drought if they
have a deep soil and the same is kept
persistently cultivated.

The earliest batch of plants set out
in greenhouse benches of the varieties
Queen of the Market and Dawn are
now running up to flower and will fur-
nish some cutting during June and
July, at a season when carnations are

of poor quality. They are now filling
the benches with roots and require a
good water supply. The surface soil
has just had a light mulch of old ma-
nure, which prevents excessive drying
out. Plenty of ventilation night and
day is given, as asters resent anything
like coddling.

Marguerites.

The yellow marguerites are more
popular than the white ones in the
markets as cut flowers, but they do not
as a rule make as shapely plants. They
do not carry over the summer as well
as the white varieties. Usually if set
outdoors they make some blind wood
or die altogether. It has been found
that it pays to carry a quantity of the
old plants over in frames, where they
can be plunged, with a cheesecloth or
lath shading run at a good height
above them to . break the direct rays
of the sun. The lath shade is prefer-
able, as wind storms will sometimes
wreck the cheesecloth covering. Keep
the plants where they can get some
shade and necessary water and you
will get a good crop of cuttings in the
fall. The white sorts can be planted
in the field and if well headed back

will break and give an abundant crop
of cuttings in September and October;
and, by the way, if you want a few
marguerites for early flowering, of
specimen size, dig up and pot some
of these old plants. The fine speci-
mens seen at the flower show in Boston
were old plants carried over and any
commercial grower having such plants
could readily get a fancy price for
them. :

Primulas.

The earliest sowing of primulas
should now be in 2%,-inch or 3-inch
pots. The compost should be light;
equal parts of leaf-mold, not too much
decayed, and loam with a little sand
is suitable for the initial potting.
After this date the plants should be
grown in a coldframe and if they are
partially plunged in fine coal ashes
all the, better. This keeps the roots
cool and moist. A spraying overhead
each afternoon will be beneficial.
After the end of May it is better to
raise the sashes eight or ten inches
top and bottom, to allow of a free cir-
culation of air all the time, and instead
of whitewashing the glass, use lath
shades, which give necessary light but
keep the plants much cooler. These
of course are only to be used during
strong sunshine. A little sun morning
and late afternoon will help to stiffen
up the little plants.

Late sowings of any of the primulas
will all be better in frames, as green-
houses after this time become too hot
for their proper welfare. Primulas,
be it remembered, come from a cool
latitude and our hot summers are not
to their liking; however, they can be
well grown in frames facing the north.

By W. A. Cull, Edmonton, England.

Our American friends' wholesale es-
tablishments are beautifully fitted up,
and each contains a cool chamber for
the storage of unsold flowers. We vis-
ited two or three dozen of these estab-
lishments. Little plant trade done by
this class of florists. In Philadelphia
we visited the seed warehouses of W.
Atlee Burpee & Co., beautifully fitted
up. The quantities of sweet peas on
hand from the firm's seed farms in
California seemed large enough to sup-
ply the world. I was greatly impressed
by_the way in which Mr. Burpee looks
after the comforts of his work people.
Between 200 and 300 are employed,
many of the girls earning from 25 to
30 shillings a week packeting seeds
and making up orders. A large restau-
rant forms part of the establishment,
and meals can be obtained at cost price
— lower than the prices prevailing in
the public restaurants. This provision
is much esteemed by the employees.

We called at White Marsh, Md.,
where B. Vincent, Jr., and his sons run
a splendid up-to-date nursery, growing
large quantities of geraniums, fuchsias.

coleus, cannas, etc. Messrs. Vincent
own much of the woodland around the
nurseries, and run their own saw mill
for making packing cases for plants
and flowers.

I think Washington the most beauti-
ful of all the American cities we saw,
though Chicago is a wonderful city. The
glasshouses of the Poehlmann brothers
cover forty-five acres, by far the larg-
est cut fiower nurseries we visited.

Arriving in Boston, we spent four
days there, the principal attraction be-
ing the National Show, which did not
come up to our Temple shows. We vis-
ited the nurseries of Mr. Sim where
sweet peas and violets were well done —
one house of sweet peas, 400 feet long,
forty-three feet wide and twenty-three
feet high!

Compost Mixer and Pulverizer Used by Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton Grove, III.

Now, as I sit here and dream it all
over again, the one question that rises
uppermost is: "Was it worth while?"
My answer now is, and will ever re-
main, "Yes, most decidedly it was."
It was worth while not only as a
grower, it was worth while as a man
and as a citizen.

As growers we have seen many
things. If we make the best of them
and make use of them, they will repay
us the cost of the trip several times
over. Sometimes we thought — and
rightly, too — we can do this better at
home; but in many ways we must con-
fess that things are right ahead of us,
especially in labor-saving devices, the
perfect heating systems, the convenient
packing houses and cool storage cham-
bers. Yet with it all the trade appears
to be in its infancy. Some of the larg-
est establishments are not twenty years
old; I wonder what the next ten years
will bring forth; it will be worth while
to watch and even go over again, in
spite of the cost, the distance and the
intervening Atlantic.

I certainly did not see so much of
the petty jealousy among the members
of our craft as is to be found on this
little island of ours, and in all our
wanderings we did not find any closed
doors. On the contrary, everybody
seemed eager to show his brother
craftsman whatever he had. I am in-
clined to think this is the kind of
policy that makes for progress. Prog-
ress is written in very large letters
wherever one looks "on the \other
side," and before many years are over
I hope to go again, for I like to see
progress when she moves fast.

Houghton, Mich.— Harper & Thomas
have opened a flower store in connec-
tion with their undertaking establish-
ment. The members of the firm are
Josiah Harper and James Thomas.

MIXINa THE COMPOST.

The visitors at the establishment of
Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton Grove, 111.,
invariably are impressed by the me-
chanical features of the establishment;
hand labor still is the rule in a great
many greenhouse plants, and the
amount of labor performed by machin-
ery at the Poehlmann establishment
seems to impress the average visitor as
strongly as any other feature of the
place.

Just now one of the busiest Poehl-
mann machines is that shown in the
accompanying illustration. It is the
pulverizer and mixer for compost. In
every large establishment the changing
of the soil is a tremendous task; the
mixing of the compost, the importance
of which justifies infinite care, consumes
the time of many men. But at Poehl-
manns' the work is done by electric
power and all that is required is a
gang of shovelers to load the conveyor.
The compost is stacked aloug the ends
of the houses in the autumn as it
would be in any smaller place — a layer
of soil and a layer of manure. When
the time arrives for putting in the new
soil the machine is drawn up to the
end of the long pile and set in opera-
tion. The compost merely is shoveled
on to the conveyor, which carries it up
and drops it into the cylinders, which
are fitted with teeth for the destruction
of all lumps. Passing through the cyl-
inders, the compost comes out thorough-
ly mixed and as fine as wanted.
Falling upon the second conveyor, it is
run to the very doors of the green-
houses and stacked up ready for use.
The machine runs with a forty horse-
power motor, now electric, but orig-
inally a gasoline engine. The machine
was built on the place. With it it is
possible to work up each day as much
soil as is required for the benches of
two 250-foot houses.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The St. Louis cut flower market took
another turn last week, becoming just
the opposite of what it was the week
before. All cut stock was again plen-
tiful and prices dropped down a few
cents. Trade among the retailers was
not so brisk. The weather has been
warm and good window displays could
not be made. Those who handle plants
are having all they can do in the line
of planting out. All the wholesale
houses were loaded down with cnt
stock. Sweet peas were especially
plentiful, and in big lots they sold as
low as $2 per thousand for the best-
The demand for roses has not been
good of late and plenty of them were
dumped last week. Carnations, after
selling cheaply all the week, went up
on Saturday and Sunday to as much as
4 cents for whites. Peonies, cape jas-
mines, outdoor valley and candidum
lilies are in great abundance. Flowers
for Mothers' day sold well.

Club Meeting.

The Florists' Club held its monthly
meeting Thursday afternoon, May 11.
The attendance was slim, as most of
the members had too much outdoor
work to attend to. President Connon
could not attend, so Vice-president
Frank Weber took the rhair for the
first time and made an excellent im-
pression as a presiding officer. There
was a lot of business to transact, but
this required a larger attendance, so
most of it was laid over for the June
meeting, when the final announcement
will be made about the banquet of
the club members, June 28, at one of
the large hotels.

Joe Matter was elected to member-
ship on a clear ballot. The picnic given

Memorial Day Crops.

Memorial day is near. It is the
time when flowers of every description
sell well. As a cut floy
away ahead of V.
jiractically unkn^
flowers
effort Ehou

Lie crcTfWi about as exactly as weather
conditions will permit, it is easy to
force along late lilies and the early
ones can be out and stood in water in
a cold cellar. Such crops as ten weeks'
stocks, antirrhinums, eaiidytuft and
feverfew, if well advanced, must have
the glass shaded and bo kept :is cool
as possible. Hold as many of these
flowers as possible for Memorial day,
as the demand for them is not now
good. Gladioli of both the large and
small-flowered types are invaluable at
this season. They should be cut as
soon as the first flowers open and kept
in a good bulk of cold water. Spanish
iris, if in flats, can be moved and re-
tarded, but if in benches it will be
difficult to hold it back. Spiraea Jap-
onica is a useful cheap flower for
bunching. Pots can be easily retarded,
but when planted out it may be neces-
sary to cut part of the crop and hold
in "water. Much can be done in the
case of all these Memorial day crops
by shading the glass rather heavily
and giving an abundance of ventila-
tion.

Asters.

The ground for the main batch of
asters should have been plowed in the
autumn and, if kept well stirred by the
horse or hand cultivator, should now
be in nice condition for jilanting. If
cutworms are troublesome, s]ir(>ad some
lime or soot over the ground and
scratch it in. If grass land borders
your aster j)atch, scatter a littli; gas
iinie along the edges of the grass;
cutworms have no use for this. If
the seeds were sown outdoors, the
plants jirobably will not !>(• ready to
]>lant out before the mid'lie of .lune.
but if started under glass they will
recpiire planting earlier. Take advan-
tage of cool, moist and cloufly weather
to do the Jilanting, and be sure to allow
the strong, vigorous varieties, such as
Vick's liranching and Semjile 's, more
room than you would smiiller sorts,
such as N'ictdria. Peony, Perfection and
Queen of tlie Market! To have good
asters, the land must have been well
manured, and in dry seasons, such .as
we have had of late ycnr'^, bottom
lands have given ]ilants with really
remarkable stems. Asters will stand
a surprisingly long drought if they
have :i deep soil and the same is kept
persistently cultivated.

The earliest batch of jdants set out
in greenhouse benches of the varieties
Queen of the Market and Dawn are
now running up to flower and will fur-
nish some cutting during .Tune and
,Iulv. at a season when carnations are

of poor quality. They are now filling
the benches with roots and recpiire a
good Avater supply. The surface soil
has just had a light mulch of old ma-
nure, which jirevents excessive drying
out. Plenty of ventilation night and
day is given, as asters res'Mit anything
like coddling.

Marguerites.

The yellow marguerites are more
popular than the white ones in the
markets as cut flowers, but they do not
as a rule make as shajiely plants. They
do not carry o\ er the summer as well
as the white varieties. Usually if set
outdoors they make some blind wood
or die altogether. It has been found
that it ])ays to carry a (piantity of the
old plants over in frames, -where they
can l)e plunged, with a i'heesecloth or
lath shading run at a good height
above them to break the direct rays
of the sun. The lath shade is prefer-
able, as wind storms will sometimes
wreck the cheesecloth covering. Keep
the ])lants where they can get some
shade and necessary water and you
will get a good crop of cuttings in the
fall. The white sorts can be planted
in the field and if well headed back

will break and give an abundant crop
of cuttings in September and October;
and, bv the way, if you want a few
marguerites for early flowering, of
specimen size, dig up and pot some
of these old plants. The fine siicci-
mens seen at the flower show in Boston
were old plants carried over and any
commercial grower having such plants
could readily get a fancy price for

by the club annually for the local
florists and their families will again
take place in July and will be in
charge of the board of trustees, of
which E. W. Guy is chairman and

A. J. Bentzen and H. C. Ostertag are.
the other members.

Frank "Weber gave the chair to Ex-
president Fillmore, who made quite a
lengthy talk on the nurserymen's con-
vention, which takes place here June
14 to 16. He told us how he has
planned to entertain the visitors.

The next club meeting will be held
June 8.

Various Notes,

The Ladies' Home Circle met on
Wednesday, May 10, at Trimp's hall.
After a short meeting, the rest of the
afternoon was taken up with bowling
and lunch.

Otto Sander is still making splendid
window displays during the hot weath-
er and he says he will keep it up, as it
pays well.

Guy Beyburn, of A. Henderson & Co.,
Chicago, spent a few days here last
week, with good business results.

The trustees of the club have de-
cided to have a banquet for the mem-
bers of the Club, June 28, to celebrate
their twenty-fifth anniversary. It will
take place at one of the leading hotels.
The only invited guests will be ex-
ptesidents who are not now members
of the club.

On Tuesday, May 9, the house of
delegates called for a public hearing
on the bill presented by the Eetail
Florists' Association to prohibit crepe
pulling. The hearing was for 4 p. m.
and there was quite an attendance of
retail florists, all of whom favored the
bill. C. C. Sanders, J. J. Beneke and

B. J. Windier spoke, making quite
lengthy arguments before the com-
mittee in favor of the bill. On calling
for a talk from those opposed to the
bill, there was no response. The chance
of passing the bill is excellent.

A. S. Cerny, lately with the Wood-
bine Floral Co., is building two houses,
552 X 100, in Kirkwood, and will grow
carnations, violets and sweet peas for
the market. W. A. Eowe, a member
of the Woodbine Floral Co. for the last
two years, has now purchased the en-
tire property of that firm.

Julius Koenig, the new city forester,
took the office last week. He has as
yet made no changes in the make-up
of his working force.

Planting out was begun in earnest
last week and all the plantsmen have
all they can do to get through with*
their work. Everybody wants the work
done at once, as the good old summer-
time is close at hand.

Vincent Gorly, of Grimm & Gorly,
says that they will dispose of their
Cass avenue store and do all their
business at one store, 702 Washington
avenue. Their large forces of sales-
ladies have been kept busy.

There is talk of organizing a base
ball team composed of athletic em-
ployees of the wholesale district. Mr.
Patten, of Smith's, has the affair in
charge and he says they are after the
scalps of the Bentzen and Mullanphy
teams.

George H. Angermueller says there
is a good demand for red, white and
blue ribbons for Memorial day,

Mrs. W. C. Smith has been quite
ill for the last ten days, but is now
on the road to recovery.

Arthur Meyer, who broke his arm

recently, has returned to his post at
C. A. Kuehn's, but has only one hand
to work with and it will be another
week before the plaster cast will be
off.

R. H. Moore and J. M. Hargitt, em-
ployees of the Phoenix Nursery Co.,
Bloomington, 111., spent Sunday, May
14, in St. Louis, visiting the local
trade. They say they will attend the
nurserymen's convention here next
month.

WMliam C. Young, of the C. Young
& Sons Co., says they have never be-
fore been so busy as this spring, both
at the store and greenhouses. The
planting-out time is now at its height
and extra forces of men are sent out
each morning to finish up the work.

Frank A. Weber will have charge of
the nurserymen's convention, June 14
to 16. The meeting will take place in
the parlors of the Southern hotel. J.
W. Schuette will be superintendent of
displays. C. C. Sanders, Emil Rothen-
heber and William Weber have been
placed on the entertainment committee.
The wives and daughters of the local
nurserymen will compose the ladies'
committee. The features of the meet-
ing will be a boat trip to Jefferson bar-
racks, the Henry Shaw banquet to the
visitors and the trip to the Stark Bros.
Nurseries, at Louisiana, Mo. An auto-
mobile trip for the ladies will also be
a pleasing feature. J. J. B.

Albert Senger, the Lexington avenue
florist, is adding two houses, each 20x

Club Meeting,

The Market,

Trade has been heavy here for the
last two weeks; since the warm weath-
er set in everyone is on the move with
planting out and the outlook now is
there will be a heavy call for all such
stock. Stock has been very good, con-
sidering the warm days we have nad.
Boses are holding up nicely and the
demand has been strong. Carnations
are fine and available in great "qtianti-
ties. Sweet peas are still good and
the demand quite heavy for them.
Outdoor valley has been in the market
for a week or so and has about taken
the place of the indoor article, as the
quality is good.

Trade for Mothers' day was cer-
tainly heavy. Everything in white
carnations was cleaned up early and
after they were gone buyers com-
menced on the light shades, and toward
the last they bought anything that
looked like a flower. From all reports-^
everybody had a regular clean-up. /It
was impossible to get anywhere nearly
enough white carnations to go around.
One grower said his sales last week
equaled Christmas week financially.

Various Notes.

Sherman Stephens reports heavy
business, both in plants and cut flowers.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has had
a heavy cut of roses and carnations
and is busy with bedding stock at
present.

The Columbus Floral Co, has been
cutting heavily on carnations and
clean'ed up everything for Mothers'
day.

The meeting of the Springfield Flo-
rists' Club held May 8 took the form
of a spring banquet and was well at-
tended, in spite of the counter attrac-
tion of the first circus of the season,
notices having been mailed to the mem-
bers in the following style:

On Monday ev'nin', 8th ot May,
We'll feast Just at the close of day,
On tables full of good things spread
In Reese's roomy, well-kept shed.

Don't say "too busy," — start In time
For Reese's place, — it's on South Lime;
And eat no supper 'fore you start
'Cause Mellen, he will do his part.
When all git full of florists' hash
The speakers then will cut a dash;
And you'll be shot — at, if not there,
By Mister Toastmaster, — beware!

There's lots of bizness to discuss
And likely something like a fuss
Might happen, should you stay
From this great spring event away.

Cl^ton L. Beese, the veteran local
retail florist, was host, and his model
establishment on South Limestone
street, with its unusually large and
well appointed shed and packing rooms,
together with office and residence ad-
joining, furnished an admirable place
for banqueting purposes. George H.
Mellen and Harry Eeeser, of the en-
tertainment committee, had prepared a
bountiful spread, the main course con-
sisting of roast beef with gravy, salad,
etc., and the finish strawberry short-
cake, coffee and cigars.

After doing ample justice to the
menu. President Charles W. Schmidt
presided over a short business session,
and then introduced George D. Leedle
as toastmaster, who, instead of calling
on the speakers by name, requested the
members to select the one best desig-
nated by a series of original rhymes,
which he read, and in every instance
the proper victim was called to his
feet with a chorus of good-natured
"kidding," and responded as best he
could after the unexpected and unusual
demand for a speech.

Besponses were given in rapid-fire
succession by some twenty-five mem-
bers, each called upon by a rhyme.

Incidental to the numerous interest-
ing and witty talks, many valuable
suggestions were advanced for the good
of the prj^fession, and in the finish an
animated*- discussion arose as to the
proper varieties and kinds of roses to
be planted in the proposed rose garden
in Snyder park, with some differ-
ences of opinion as to the comparative
merits of own root and grafted roses
for certain purposes. Christian Bin-
ning and Arthur C. Leedle held that
grafted stock had certain advantages
in particular cases, while Eoger Mur-
phey and John M. Good led the battle
for the own root forces, the latter
agreeing to start even with own root
roses and in a fair contest outdo any
grafted rose on earth. This subject
appeared to have so large a scope that
it was deemed best to give it an entire
evening for discussion on some future
occasion. ^-^

The matter of the annual picnic was
mentioned and will be decided at the

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The expectation of lighter shipments
of roses and carnations has not mate-
nahzed. There has been no decrease,
and the market is literally crowded, so
there is little to be added to the re-
port of a week ago. For Mothers' day
there was a thorough clean-up of every-
thing in white carnations and white
roses, while valley and white sweet
peas also were well taken. Interest in
this token of affectionate memory is
certainly increasing, and each year
finds its observance more general. The
close of the week, therefore, was fairly
encouraging to the wholesalers, and re-
tailers all over the city featured the
mother sentiment and advertised it per-
sistently.

Business at the opening of this week
is stagnant and prices are low. Late
inquiry would indicate a top of 4 cents
for roses and 2 cents for carnations,
while the best Beauties were selling
at $10 per hundred. The opening of
the big ocean resorts at Coney and
Eockaway has lessened the street
brigade already and decreased that out-
let for the surplus. Orchids hold well,
the best cattleyas bringing 60 to 75
cents, while 30 to 50 cents buys the
commoner and smaller varieties.

Memorial day promises to be the
largest floral holiday of the year.
Lilies will doubtless advance consider-
ably before that day, but at present
there has been little improvement from
the low figures of April, 2 cents to
4 cents now being the limit. Valley
is down to $1.50 per hundred for the
selected and gardenias go at 50 cents
a dozen. Sweet peas must be long
stemmed and perfect to induce an offer.
Callas are neglected, with 50 cents a
dozen the best offer. Iris and gladi-
oli are arriving profusely, with little
call for either. Eetailers complain of
vanishing customers, many of the Four
Hundred having already departed for
the continent and the coronation.

Various Notes.

The new market is a busy place from
midnight on. The florists complain of
the early and complete clean-up of all
the best bedding and other plants by
the peddlers. Most of the stock ar-
riving is sold in advance. By daylight
there is not a vestige of the busy mar-
ket left. Years of this method have
established it so that it has become a
habit, and the majority rules — only ofii-
cial city interference can change it.
The veteran John Birnie drops in on
his bowling confreres at about mid-
night occasionally, Friday nights, on
his way to his favorite enterprise, for
he may safely be styled the father of
New York's coming Covent Garden.

S. S. Butterfield is seriously ill at
the Seney hospital, Brooklyn. His fam-
ily is in Oklahoma.

"William Kessler, of Kessler Bros.,
and Miss Minnie Krieger, of Brooklyn,
were married April 7 at St. John's
church, of that city. Miss Krieger has
managed her own very successful re-
tail store in Brooklyn for some time,
and in assuming the duties of domes-
ticity has sold her place on Fulton
street, next door to the immortal

Johnnie Weir, to David Benjamin.
The congratulations of the trade are
given these popular young people as
they set sail on life's sea.

For Mothers' day the Penfaock-Mee-
han Co. had a neat card printed and
distributed many hundreds oF them for
window reminders.

Patrick O'Mara is back from his
southern trip well rested, but nursing
one of Job's comforters.

An enormous amount of window box
decoration and hotel roof garden work
is in process of completion in New
York. Many of the larger contracts
have been filled direct by growers.

Wadley & Smythe, A. T. Bunyard
and Joseph Leikens will be New York 's
offering to swell Newport this year,
and already the principals have been
down preparing for the busy season
there.

George and Walter Siebrecht are both
fully recovered from their illnesses.

The sympathy of every one goes out
to Charles Schenck and Mrs. Schenck
in the loss of their only child through
an accident. Many beautiful floral
tokens were sent as silent evidence of
the sorrow felt by all their friends.

Bowling.

New York sent some crack bowlers.
May 10, to rescalp the Tuxedos in the
return match, and the result makes it
necessary for a deciding match — Tux-
edo vs. New York, Saturday evening.
May 27, on the New York alleys. In
other words. Tuxedo entertained the
New Yorkers so hospitably that their
hands forgot their cunning and they
lost their reputations. The scores tell
the story:

LOUISVILU!, KY.

The Market.

Business for the last two weeks has
been good. Funeral work has been the
leading factor. There were several big
funerals, which kept the cut flower
stock cleaned up well. Carnations are
scarce, and are sadly missed; it is im-
possible to get as many as fifty of any
one color, Boses are in good supply.

The winter crop of sweet peas is about
off and there will be nothing in this
line until the outdoor stock comes in.
Ten weeks' stocks have been a fizzle
here, as only a small percentage of
them were double, and the single ones
do not amount to much.

Lilies have been abundant and a
good many have been used. The grow-
ers who missed the crop for Easter
found no trouble in disposing of them
as fast as they came in. In fact, with-
out them the market would have been
extremely short.

The outlook for an increase in stock
is good, as some gladioli, iris and other
early summer flowers are coming on
rapidly. Peonies will be in crop in
about ten days and a good many will
be cut, as the plants are all well
budded.

Everybody will be busy planting out
for the next few weeks. May 10 is
usually the starting day here, but the
recent warm weather tempted the Ipcal
florists and some were hustling out bed-
ding stock three or four days before the
usual date. There are good prospects
of a heavy business in this line this
season, ^- -"•

ROCHESTER,

The Market.

Cut flower trade is picking up con-
siderably and consequently there is not
now the overstock of carnations, roses
and tulips that there has been the last
few weeks. All cut flowers are bring-
ing better prices.

A few warm days have made a big
demand for bedding plants of all kinds
and although it is still a little early,
local florists are selling these fast.

There is a great scarcity of greens,
such as cut ferns, asparagus, smilax,
etc., in Eochester and vicinity; so much
so that some local florists have cut
fronds from their stock of Boston ferns
and cut up spiraeas to use in sprays for
funerals. The cold storage ferns which
were kept over from last year are use-
less, and the southern ferns have not
begun to arrive as yet. Cut asparagus
and smilax are bringing a good price.

Various Notes,

W. D. Oviatt is growing some fine
Spencer sweet peas under glass; large
flowers, pale pink, white and lavender,
with stems ranging from six to ten
inches in length. J. B. Keller Sons
have contracted to buy all he can pro-
duce, and that firm could handle twice
the supply shipped them.

E. C. Campbell, who opened his new
store at 9 North street, near Main, at
Easter time, reports that business is
growing and that there has been a big
sale of bedding plants in the last week.
Felix Alberts, who is manager of Mr.
Campbell's store, executed an artistic
plant decoration in the store of the
Guilford Drug Co., which opened a new
store May 12. The druggist gave away
some 3,000 carnations to the visitors.
An opening in a new store with floral
decorations and music was an innova-
tion in Eochester. Mr. Alberts is show-
ing some good Golden Glow mum plants
in his window this week, which is unu-
sual so early in the season,

Geo. Boucher, 345 Main street east,
says trade is brisk and that outdoor
plants are selling best just now.

Salter Bros, report business as good.

The Eochester Floral Co., 245 Main
street east, is doing a good business in

pansies, myosotis and geraniums. Miss
Nettie Maher has entered the employ
of this concern.

Horace Head^ of H. E. Wilson 's store,
has gone to Hilton, N. Y., for a few
weeks for his health. It is reported
that he is improving rapidly.

J. B. Keller Sons decorated seventeen
tables for a Men's Club dinner May 12.
The table of the principal speakers was
decorated with a steamer five feet in
length, made of pink and wBite car-
nations, to reproduce in miniature the
hospital steamer of Dr. Grenfel, the
guest of honor.

The cold snap and frosts of last
week did little damage to flowering
bulb stock, shrubs and fruit trees. For-
sythias suffered most and turned brown
in a few hours. Contrary to the gen-
eral belief that this season is behind the
average, the records for blooming dates
for this locality preserved from pre-
vious years show that the blossoms are
just about on time, according to the
average. E. C. A.

DAYTON, O.

The Market.

Cut flower business in the last two
weeks has, on the whole, been quiet,
and it looks more so when the supply
is compared with the demand. The ex-
ceedingly warm weather, together with
the fact that there is so much outdoor
stock in bloom, may be accountable for
these conditions. Lilac, bridal wreath,
iris, valley, snowballs and roses are all
in full array. One consolation to the
florist is that Decoration day will see
these all a thing of the past. Outdoor
stock is quite "previous" this year,
owing to the warm weather.

Indoor cut flowers are scarce in some
varieties and overabundant in others.
Carnations, while slightly improved, are'
still scarce, while roses are at just the
other extreme, with the market com-
paratively slow. Lilies are the scarcest
they have been in some time, while
callas are plentiful enough to meet all
requirements. The outdoor valley is
knocking the demand for cold storage
valley in the head. Gladioli are plenti-
ful and the demand could not be better.
While cut flower trade is slow and de-
pendent only on a few parties, com-
mencements and funerals, the pot plant
business is making up for it. Bedding
plants, boxwood, palms and plants of
all descriptions are moving rapidly and
trade along this line is most gratifying.

Mothers' Day.

The increasing popularity of Moth-
ers' day is quite evident in Dayton.
People seem to be more attracted by it
each year; consequently the demand for
flowers increases rapidly. Churches,
more than any other institution, seemed
to call for the flowers, but many busi-
ness houses presented a flower to each
of their employees, and boxes of flow-
ers were sent to mothers, etc., while
about every other person one met was
wearing a flower on Mother 's day. How-
ever, though the deqiand was good and
prices were high, there was one draw-
back, namely, that many people have
conceived the idea that nothing but
white carnations are appropriate for
the occasion. As it is an utter impos-
sibility to meet the demand for these,
much talking becomes necessary in or-
der to convince the buyer that a white
flower of any kind may be worn for the
mother deceased, and a bright one for

the mother living. This diflBculty, if
properly taken up by the florists
throughout the country, could easily be
remedied, and we believe that, should
the matter be taken up at the next
S. A. F. convention, much good would
result, for, with Mothers' day increas-
ing in popularity from year to year, it
would be an impossibility to supply
enough white carnations to meet the
demand. * #*

Various Notes.

Fruit trees promise a good crop this
year, as they have been favored with
the right kind of weather.

The Miami Floral Co. has succeeded
in getting all the carnation plants out
in the field and is now in hopes the
weather man will send the much needed
shower. Arthur Carey, of this firm,
spent May 14 at Yellow Springs, O.

Perhaps one of the busiest men along
the line of funeral work in this city is
Warren G. Matthews, proprietor of the
Dayton Floral Co. He reports that as
a general rule nearly all his orders for
this sort of work come in on Sunday,
making it his busiest day in the week.

Mrs. E. Young reports a splendid
trade for Mothers' day.

Mrs. B. Haschke has had splendid
success with sweet peas this season. She
is cutting some fine ones at present.

Fred Johnson, of Kansas City, Mo.,
was the guest of Mrs. L. D. Johnson
last week.

J. J. Lampert, of Xenia, O., was in
town last week. He reports a good
business and says he is building an-
other greenhouse, 40x200.

Among the visitors last week were:
Mr. Kidder, of the Ionia Pottery Co.,
Ionia, Mich.; Chas. H. Hudson, repre-
senting Hammond's Paint & Slug Shot
Works, Fishkill-on-Hudson, N. Y., and
Frederick U. Creighton, of Arthur T.
Boddington, New York city. E. A. B.

GLEN COVE, L. I.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Nassau County Horticultural Society
was held in Pembroke hall Wednesday
evening, May 10. President Trepess occu-
pied the chair and there was a good at-
tendance. Messrs. HoUoway, Gray and
Bobinson were appointed judges and
their decisions were as follows: For the
society's prize, outdoor fiowering shrub,
first to A. McKenzie, with Persica san-
guinea; lettuce, first to J. W. Everett;
for exhibition vase of sweet peas, cer-
tificate of culture to J. McDonald;
brace of cucumbers, certificate of cul-
ture to J. W. Everett; asparagus, cer-
tificate of culture to J. W. Everett;
Stumpp & Walter prize for six varieties
of tulips, six of each, first to A. Mc-
Kenzie, second to E. Westlake.

The schedule for the show on the
night of the June meeting was read and
approved and Messrs. Duthie, John-
stone and- Marshall were appointed
judges for that night.

The question box was found to con-
tain quite a few questions, which were
answered satisfactorily. S. Trepess ex-
hibited some pieces of peach grafted
on plum for the members to examine
and decide as to whether the two were
united or not. Various comments were
made, but the question could not be
answered definitely.

H. Cliffe, superintendent of Meudon,
gave an interesting talk on the cultiva-
tion of grapes under glass and was ac-
corded a very hearty vote of thanks.

UTIOA, N. Y.

At the annual nweting of the Utica
Florists' Club, held in Genesee hall,
the election of ofiicers for the ensuing
year was held and Frank J. Baker was
chosen president for the sixth time. The
other officers elected were: Vice-presi-
dent, Harry Brant; treasurer, Charles
Seitzer; secretary, J. C. Spencer.

In a discussion of Mothers' day, the
speakers expressed their regret that
white flowers are so generally worn on
that occasion, since colored flowers
would frequently be more appropriate.
Customers, it was stated, need more
education in this line and should be
more strongly impressed with the idea
first advocated by The Eeview, that
a white carnation indicates respect for
a deceased mother, while the wearer of
a colored carnation thereby shows re-
spect for a mother who is living.

After the meeting refreshments were
served.

OBITUAKY.

Gustave Peters.

Gustave Peters, one of the oldest of
Chicago florists, died May 13 at his
home, 1515 Larrabee street, of cerebral
hemorrhage. Mr. Peters was born in
Germany May 31, 1840, so that had he
lived another fortnight he would have
been 71 years of age. He came to
America twenty-eight years ago and at
once located at Chicago, engaging in \
the business learned in the fatherland.
When Charles Arnold married Mr.
Peters ' only daughter, the firm of
Peters & Arnold was formed, the green-
house establishment being located at
Des Plaines. Cut flowers were grown
for the Chicago market, and for years
Mr. Peters was well known to the fre-
quenters of the Chicago wholesale sec-
tion. When E. C. Amling moved into
the basement of the Trude building, he
rented a portion of his space to Mr..
Peters, who sold there the output of
his greenhouses for some years, the
growing end being in the hands of his
son-in-law, who has continued the busi-
ness, consigning his stock to the E. C.
Amling Co. since the retirement of Mr.
Peters, a few years ago, from active
participation in the business. A widow
and daughter, Mrs. Arnold, survive.
The funeral was held May 15 and was
largely attended.

Bansom B. Jones.

Bansom B. Jones, for many years a
florist at Stamford, Conn., died May 7.
Mary E. Jones, his daughter, says that
the business will be discontinued.

George Hollis.

George Hollis, a well-known peony
grower and florist of South Weymouth,
Mass., died April 27 at his home on Hol-
lis street, after a lingering illness. He
was 71 years of age and was a native
of South Weymouth. He is survived
by a sister, Mrs. A. M. Richardson, and
by three brothers, Newton, Henry and
Fred Hollis.

C. O. Hunt.
C. O. Hunt, of St. Elmo, Chattanooga,
Tenn., died May 6. It is understood
that the business will be continued by
his wife, Mrs. Marietta Hunt.

Geo. F. Chadbom.

George F. Chadbom, the inventor of
the American lawn mower, died May 12
in Newburgh, N. Y., aged 78 years. He
was one of the Chadbom family, well
known in the trade.

BeUefontaine, O.— This town has a
population of 8,238. J. E. Stelzig sold
1,275 carnations May 13 and 14— one
flower for every sixth person in the
place. How's that for a Mothers' day
record?

Herington, Kan.— J. A. Gordon had
a Mothers' day advertisement in two
weekly papers and sold almost every-
thing out that looked like a flower.
Customers almost all wanted white, but
he sold out on all colored stock.

Babylon, N. Y.— Contract has been
awarded to Wm. H. Lutton, Jersey City,
N, J., for the construction of an addi-
tional range of iron-frame houses for
Duncan C. Arnold, of this city. A.
Kroeschell boiler will be used for heat-
ing.

Grand Forks, N. D.— E. O. Lovell says
Mothers' day trade was simply^ im-
mense, many times larger than ever
before. The supply of carnations being
exhausted early, roses and other flowers
sold well. Still greater results are ex-
pected next year.

Marysville, Kan.— H. E. Fisher says
the people of Marysville took hold of
Mothers' day in fine shape; he could
not begin to supply the demand. Busi-
ness here is brisk. He has about fin-
ished all outside planting; everything
looks promising, but rain is needed
badly.

Portland, Ind. — W. Frank & Sons are
building three greenhouses, each 300
feet long. Advance ventilating ma-
chines are being used, equipped with
the new Advance "twist-less" arms,
one of the first jobs on which these
have been used. The Advance Co. also
is supplying the pipe fittings for the
new houses.

Alvln, Tex. — The Misses Cook, who
did business as Cook & Cook, have
married and retired. One now is Mrs.
G. N. Yard and the other Mrs. E. J.
Sheffield, the business being continued
under the name and management of
Mr. Sheffield. The firm's old field of
jasmine was sold, but a small quantity
of stock is now being shipped from a
field of young plants.

Dows, la. — Shaffer & Larson report
that this vicinity was visited, on the
afternoon of May 14, by one of the
worst hail storms ever experienced
here. Huge hailstones were borne on-
ward by a terrific gale from the south-
west, shattering hundreds of windows
in the city. In Shaffer & Larson's
greenhouse, which was built last year,
the loss was only fourteen lights. In
their hotbeds, however, nearly all the
glass was broken. Though this mis-
fortune has befallen them so early in
their business career, they are thankful
that they escaped so easily.

Newton, Mass. — The greenhouses on
the estate of Frank A. Day, the Boston
banker, were damaged by fire May 8.

Great Falls, Mont. — The West Side
Greenhouses are rebuilding two of their
houses, using the Garland truss con-
struction.

Westwood, Mass. — The greenhouses
and residence of Charles S. Damrell
were destroyed by fire May 8. The loss
was about $6,000.

South Bend, Ind. — May day was hap-
pily celebrated at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Willis W. Kinyon by the arrival
of a new 8^4 -pound son.

Utica, N. Y.— Wm. P. Pfeifer, the
Whitesboro street florist, presented a
large quantity of flowers to the relief
committee of the Utica- Teachers' As-
sociation, to be distributed among the
teachers who had been injured in the
recent train wreck at Martin's Creek,
N. J.

Leominster, Mass. — On the afternoon
of May 6 a miniature tornado demol-
ished a section of the roof of George
M. Kendall's largest greenhouse, a cu-
cumber house which covers 28,000
square feet of ground. The damage
was estimated at upward of $500. The
cucumber vines were not injured.

Louisville, Ky. — The Bardstown Eoad
Fldral Co. has been incorporated, with
a capital stock of $8,000, divided into
shares of $100 each. The incorporators
and their holdings are as follows: Mar-
garet H. Struck, Beuchel, forty shares;
Pratt A. Reynolds, Beuchel, thirty-seven
shares; H. J. Marshall, of this city,
three shares.

Des Moines, la. — The Iowa Seed Co.,
of which Charles N. Page is president,
is erecting a show house and four addi-
tional greenhouses on the firm 's grounds
at Crocker and Thirty-fi^:)^ streets. The
show house will be 40x125 and twenty-
five feet high in the center. Two of the
new greenhouses will be 21x125 and the
other two will be 26x185.

Leavenworth, Kan. — E. C. Hinz at
418 Shawnee street, conducts bot^ a
retail and wholesale trade and ships
considerable stock to surrounding
towns. At Fourteenth and Vilas
streets, where his greenhouses are lo-
cated, he also has several acres of
ground which he uses for the growing
of shrubbery and other hardy stock.

Westerly, B. L — John Cirwein, who
has been with Conrad Schultz, of this
city, for the last three years, is now
making arrangements to go into busi-
ness for himself at Wakefield. He will
build a range of greenhouses there and
expects to have them ready for use by
the first part of October. He will do
both a wholesale and retail business.

Carbondale, 111. — The peony crop in
southern Illinois is especially promising
this year. A big supply is expected to
be ready for Memorial day.

Hutchinson, Kan. — The Underwood-
Viles greenhouses, the largest vegetable
growing plant in the state, were dam-
aged by fire May 10, the loss being
estimated at $20,000.

Stockbridge, Mass. — The greenhouse
at Ingleside, the country residence of
J. Woodward Haven, was burned April
13 and the stock of about 7,000 plants
was destroyed. The loss was estimated
at $2,500.

Agawam, Mass. — Mark Aitken is
building another greenhouse, 40x160, on
the river road. The Lord & Burnham
Co. has the contract. The new house
will be used for violets, while the pres-
ent violet house will be used for roses.

Bridgeport, Conn. — A fine new deliv-
ery auto, belonging to James E. Beach,
appeared on the streets just before
Easter and caused much favorable com-
ment. It is a twenty horse-power
Sampson car, with the body hand-
somely paneled and tastefully painted
and lettered. It rendered good service
during the Easter trade.

Bangor, Me. — J. Martin, Jr., who has
greenhouses on Center street, opened a
handsome store April 11 at the old
Martin homestead, where he was born.
He left home when quite young and
worked at his trade for seventeen years
in Boston and New York. Beturning
to this city, he built his greenhouses six
years ago and his business has steadily
prospered.

Bochdale, Mass. — Walter E. Draper,
who has conducted the Maple Eidge
greenhouses" for the last two years,
will go into business in Westboro, June
1, in partnership with H. F. Midgley,
who has a flower store in Worcester.
In Westboro the chief attention will
be given to the growing of carnations.
The Maple Eidge greenhouses will be
run until June by Mr. Draper; then his
brother may take charge of them, at
least until fall.

I

Kalispell, Mont.— The Kalispell Gar-
dens report a heavy spring trade, fol-
lowing a record-breaking Easter. The
firm has discontinued handling trees and
is putting its energies into the growing
of cut flowers and greenhouse veg-
etables. A large part of the grounds
has been sown with grain. "The latest
addition to the population of/ the gar-
dens is a baby mule, which has been
promptly christened Maud. The soil in
Kalispell is of remarkable richness,
and, with all the water that is needed
and a magnificent location, the Kalispell
Gardens are going ahead in no uncer-
tain fashion.

Besults bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

Curious, but all the suggestions for
Fathers' day come from lady florists.

Mothers' day ftis year was quite a
little better than the Memorial days of
not so very many years ago.

In printing this issue of The Review
8,800 pounds of white paper were con-
sumed— almost four and one-half tons.

The florists' business appears to be at
present quite -a little better than in the
lines of what are known as the necessi-
ties.

There are four double-page spreads in
this issue of The Review. When an ad-
vertiser's story takes two pages in the
telling, you may rest assured there's
something in it worth knowing, and
knowing thoroughly.

At the recent carnation show inLj
don, Bertie Bell, of Guernsey, won
American challenge cup, 'offered for three
American novelties, with J. W. Riley,
described as very fine; Gov. Deneen and
Bay state. Now what do you know
about that!

Checks for the refund of the sums
paid by guarantors of the National Flow-
er Show were mailed May 9 by E. Allan
Peirce, treasurer. Complete financial
statement is not yet ready, but financial
success called only for the reimburse-
metft of guarantors.

Last week's issue of The Review broke
all previous records for the amount of
classified plant advertising carried. Thero
were thirty-five columns of it. Review
classified advertisements are such great
little business-bringers that- ' ' once tried,
always used" is the rule.

The popularity of Mothers' day leads
to a demand for Fathers' day, after
which no doubt someone will propose a
day for sister, brother, aunt. One trou-
ble with success is that a lot of people
want to overdo it. But thus far no one
has proposed a day for mother-in-law.

The so-called Simmons bill recently
introduced in Congress, to give the Secre-
tary of Agriculture authority to prohibit'
the importation of nursery stock accord-'
ing to his judgment, provides that flo-
rists' field grown stock shall be included.
The full text of the bill will be found
on page 76 of this issue.

Harry A. Barnard, who made many
friends in America on the occasion of
his recent trip to this country in the in-
terest of Stuart Low & Co., Bush Hill
Park, London, celebrated, April 29, the
fiftieth anniversary of his connection
with the firm of Low. His fellow em-
ployees presented him with a testi-
monial, suitably inscribed.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central l^arket.

ci

May, 12 was Fathers' day in the Chi-
cago market — father was just as busy
as busy could be, getting out orders
for white carnations for the florists
who were pushing Mothers' day. The
shipping demand was heavy, far exceed-
ing any previous year, but locally

Mothers' day did not amount to much,
the city retailers having done little, if
anything, to work up interest in the
occasion. Consequently, after the ship-
ping orders were out the market was
rather flat. There were large supplies
of stock in all lines, but the call was
almost exclusively for white carnations;
the advance orders included colored
stock, but the late calls were only for
white, possibly for the reason that
roses and colored carnations are abun-
dant in all the lesser markets through
the country as well as in Chicago. But
it was much the biggest day this n^r-
ket has had since Easter, a nice little
holiday now well established and sure
to grow. It was not possible to fill
all the late orders for white carnations,
and all colors cleaned up nicely. Prices
were good, but not beyond reason. Lit-
tle overripe stock was seen. At no
time last week was it possible for the
wholesale houses to clean up on other
lines. The heat wave, running up to
87 degrees May 11, brought all flowers
along much too fast for the demand.

The current week opened with the
market as heavily overstocked as it
has been at any time this season. After
~a day o(?i;wo of seasonable temperature
the weather again turned hot, forcing
all crops and causing deterioration in
quality. Practically everything is in
oversupply, including the best grade of
Beauties, as fine orchids as have been
seen this season, fancy long-stemmed
sweet peas, all varieties of roses, carna-
tions, with the possible exception of
white, fancy snapdragons, first-class
Spanish iris, and gla^ipli of both the
large and small flowered varieties. The
regular demand, while fair, is not near-
ly strong enough to consume the enor-
mous receipts; the bulk of the stock
is moved by the people who run the
cheap sales, and even at the buyer's
own price it is not possible to sell
everything that comes in; the waste is
large.

Of the few flowers not suffering, the
peony is first. While there is no spe-
cial demand at the mopient, the stock
coming in is of better average quality
than in previous seasons and is going
into storage in fine shape in anticipa-
tion of the special demand for Memo-
rial day. Outdoor flowers in gen-
eral have had a bad time of it.
Enormous quantities of lilac have been
in. Much of the stock has arrived
in such poor condition that noth-
ing whatever couid be done with
it, for the best has sold slowly at low
prices. Such outdoor flowers as violets
have been a total loss. Cape jasmine
is not so abundant as in other seasons.

Memorial Day Prospects.

The consensus of opinion is that the
outdoor flowers will be pretty well out
of the way by Decoration day; a week
of such hot weather will about finish
them. Then will come an enormous de-
mand for Memorial day. The whole-
salers are looking forward to extremely
large supplies of all indoor flowers,
vFith the possible exception of carna-
tions; it is figured that there will be
enough of other things so that the
passing of the heaviest cut with the
carnation growers will occasion no
diflaculty. Reports have it that the
supply of peonies will be far ahead
of other years. Everyone ' -ffe looking
for the heaviest business ever handled
for May 30, which has become one of
the most important flower days on the
calendar.

Now, and For Decoration Day, Offer Your Customers

BEAUTIES

WE HAVE A WONDERFUL SUPPLY

We are cutting a tremendous crop of fancy Beauties, shipments from the greenhouses coming in three times a day.
Many thousands of each length. We can supply extra long fancy Beauties in thousand lots, if wanted. Not only is
the supply large, but the quality is extra good for this time of year. Dse them for your Decoration Day trade. You
know there is no flower that will please your trade half so well. Special prices quoted on 100 lots.

CATTLfeUAS

The varieties are Labiata and Mossise and they are
great big luxuriant blooms— and don't forget the color;
there's plenty of color in them, and it is what your trade
wants. ,

PEONIES

You know that there is a lot of difference in Peonies. If you want to
be sure of getting the best Peonies, order of us. Our Peonies are grown by
specialists, who not only grow for cut flowers only, and the best varieties,
but also know how to cut, pack and prepare them for shipping so they
reach you i*i the best possible condition. Plenty for Decoration Day. You
sell and we will supply them.

KILLARNEYS

Not only are these the finest Killarney and White Killarney now coming
into the Chicago market, but the supply continues very large. We can
take care of any order, no matter how big or how short the notice. We
want buyers who like good stock to try these. Order some of these Kil-
larneys now— it will make it sore that you will call on us to supply you
for Decoration Day.

CARNATIONS

All the buyers who know this market recognize that we have the
largest lot of strictly first-class Carnations to be found in Chicago— the
largest first-class lot, or the best large lot. Either way, a word to the wise
is sufficient. Place your orders here. A big cut for Decoration Day.

SWEET PEAS

The Butterfly ( Spencer ) varieties are coming in
heavy. These are by all odds the choicest flowers on this
market, and they sell about the best of anything in the
list. We have aU the fancy colors.

LILIES

We can supply fine Easter Lilies
in large quantity every day in the
year.

SNAPS

Fancy long Snapdragon in all
colors, but specially fine is the fancy
pink, just the Killarney shade.

OUR FERNS ARE GOOD

There are plenty of ferns in the country, but those in storage are
spoiling fast, and no one wants the soft new stock while g^ood stored
stock is to be had. Our ferns are good— never kept better. The supply
is large. How many will you have?

Various Notes.

Ted. Vogel, formerly buyer for W. J.
Smyth, is getting an experience of the
other end of the business, having taken
hold with Kennicott Bros. Co. for the
Mothers' day and peony rush. This
firm has more than doubled its force for
May and June and is having the biggest
season in its long experience.

The Percy Jones establishment has
expanded during the week, to occupy
more than double the space heretofore
occupied. A complete rearrangement,
with an office at the street front, ice-
boxes at the rear, new tabling, wide
aisles and fresh decoration, adds greatly
to appearance as well as facilities. Big,
bright gold lettering on the windows
calls attention from street and elevated
roads.

Vaughan & Sperry say Mothers' day
was ahead of the Memorial days of
their earlier experience. They expect
the business for May 30 to eclipse
Easter.

There are no insurrectos among the
A. L. Bandall customers along the
Mexican border, but Frank Johnson
spent last week in southwestern Texas,
close to the seat of war.

John Kruchten says Memorial day
always has brought one of his big
weeks and he expects, with increased
supplies, to break all records this year.
N. P. Miller fell from a ladder while
carpentering at his place at Wilmette
last week, dislocating his right shoul-
der and otherwise bruising him up. It

will be several days before he can take
charge of the new Kennicott branch
at 56 East Bandolph street.

C. M. Dickinson says that E. H.
Hunt's Memorial day will break all
records; already more than a third of
their supply of peonies is ordered up.
This is the fiftieth Memorial day and
the thirty-third for the house of Hunt.

Wietor Bros, are dropping Bride,
Bridesmaid and Kaiserin from their
list. Next season's planting consists
of Beauty, Killarney, White Killarney,
Richmond, Uncle John and, last but
not least, Mrs. Jardine.

Zech & Mann report the refusal of a
C. O. D. last week by John Brown,
supposed by them to be the assumed
name of a Greek, at 41 North High
street, Columbus, O.

Next season George Reinberg will
grow only Beauties, the Killarneys and
Richmond. Bride is dropped.

F. Struvy is making another effort to
find purchasers for his two flower
stores, so he can remove to California.

The Growers' Exchange opened May
15 in the remodeled and redecorated
quarters formerly occupied by the
Flower Growers' Market. The idea
is to supply growers with everything
needful for the wholesale business, the
grower selling his own flowers and pay-
ing a commission instead of rent. The
idea is E. E. Pieser's. H. Van Gelder
is manager.

Charlie Erne, who has been with
E. H. Hunt for fifteen years, says he

Suppose, Mr. Retail Florist,
it is May 29 and a customer
stands at your counter.

On the counter is a bunch
of twelve good Peonies. In
another vase there are twelve
roses, and in still anotheii
vase twelve carnations.

The Peonies cost you 5 cents
each flower, the Roses 8
cents and the Carnations 4
cents. Put your own selling
prices on them.

Which does the customer
select ?

The Peonies, practically
every time.

The modern Peony is as fine
as any rose. It's as big as
several carnations, and it
makes a showing for the
money unequaled by any
other flower.

That's why the JPeony is the
big special item of the Deco-
ration Day deritand.

Up to and including May
20, we are booking orders for
first-class Peonies, pink and
white, mixed, for Decoration
Day shipment at the guaran-
teed price of $6.00 per 100.

Last year and the year be-
fore, when Decoration Day
came, such goods were selling
at from 8 cents to 10 cents.

We don't know what the
price will be after May 20
this year, but the chances are
the only chance you tak:e^is
in not ordering enough while
the guaranteed 5 cent price
is open to you.

That's till May 20.

James F. Bernard, who has been

In the first hot days of spriog— with a good south wind
blowing — you open the ventilators, and then the fight with
Thrips begins, the hardest battle of the year. You'll lose the
fight if you are not prepared. Don't wait until the pests come—
get ready to give them a warm reception. Every spring we
receive mail rush orders, telegraph and telephone messages
from growers who must fight Thrips and have neglected to
keep TO-BAK-INE PRODUCTS on hand.

To-Bak-Ine Liquid is the most powerful spraying insecticide known. Spraying is one of the most economical
methods, as you can adjust 'the amount of To-Bak-Ine Liquid to just the strength wanted, and if the pests infest only
a portion of the stock they can be eradicated there without going over the entire house.

For Carnations use three teaspoonfuls to a gallon of water, and five gallons is enough to spray thoroughly
a house 100x25 feet.

For Roses use four teaspoonfuls of To-Bak-Ine Liquid to a gallon of water, and five gallons of this mixture
is enough for each house 100x25.

These' directions depend on how badly the stock is infested and on the season, but if used regularly you can
depend on clean stock at all times. /^

PRICES:— ;^ -pint, 60c; >^-pint, $1.10; 1-pint, $2.00; >^-gal., $7.75; 1-gal., $15.00; 5-gal8., $67.50.

Write for prices on 10-20-40-gallon casks with locked faucet and for complete spraying directions and
other information.

NOTHING ELSE WILL DO THE WORK

Here is a sample of<tiie letters we receive:

"Send me a 20-gallon keg of To-Bak-Ine Liquid. I have been trying out '■ (a "com-
peting" preparation) again, as they claim so strongly that they are making a strictly A-No. 1 article now,
and the price is less than you ask for To-Bak-Ine; but after trying 3 gallons, part said to be 40% and
part 50% nicotine, we find it spots and burns the pink roses and carnations — so no more of it for

me at any price.'*

SAVE YOUR CROPS

Don't wait — have your To-Bak-Ijie ready. "An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure." Keep the Thrips in
control and save money, time, labor and worry. Paint the
heating pipes with To-Bak-Ine Fumigating Compound. After
fires are out, vaporize it over alcohol lamps. Spray To-Bak-
Ine Liquid. Any of these methods will control Thrips and

other greenhouse pests— but it's easier to keep them out than to get them out.

Fumigate regularly, before you see the pests — especially just before you
open the ventilators, and just after closing them, these wkrm spring days.
Don't fail to have a can of TO"Bak-lne on hand — and use it.

To-Bak-Ine Fumigating Compound is a concentrated solution of pure nicotine and capslcunif adjusted
by cliemicai assay, making it the Strongest Fumigating Insecticide known. Directions based on weekly
application during growing season.

Vaporizing by means of alcoliol lamps.— Use three to four lamps to each 100 running feet of green-
house and use five to seven teaspoonfuls to each lamp. Let the houses be tightly closed and do not use lamp with
too strong a flame, as the compound must be vaporized, not burned*

When the heating system is steam* To-Bak-Ine Fumigating Compound can be applied on the steam
pipes with an engineer's ordinary oil can, with the opening of the tip a little larger than a needle; use 20 to 25 tea-
spoonfuls to each 100 running feet by simply running the spout of the can along the top of the pipe, always walking
away from the fumes.

PRICES:— 1-pint can, $2.00; >^-gal. can, $7.75; 1-gal. can, $15.00; 5-gal. can, $67.50.

Here is a sample of the letters we receive:

"We have used your To-Bak-Ine Fumigating Compound and find it to be the best Insecticide on

your To-Bak-Ine Liquid as a spray, diluted with water, and find it does all the work you claim for itr*r

PHILADELFHIA.

The Bising Eastern Market.

There are two points that stand
out clearly in the cut flower situation
for the week ending May 17: Mothers'
day and the rose crop. Mothers' day
was more generally observed, both in
and out of town, than last year. Its
observance was shown in the heavy
demand for white carnations that
forced the price up to 4 cents, 5 cents,
6 cents and, in a few instances, for un-
usually fine stock, 8 cents, carrying off
everything obtainable. Some of the re-
tail stores kept open Sunday, May 14,
to meet the demand. Other flowers
were affected. Gardenias were taken
in place of white carnations at $6 per
hundred, making a good substitute.
White roses were also used. When
white carnations ran short, colored car-
nations sold well, but not at an ad-
vance. The prices realized on colored
stock were about half those on white,
while the average price was not one-
half, indicating slower sales.

The rose crop is now at its height
with many of the {powers. The supply
is so large that, in "spite of a good de-
mand for the season, and in spite of
extraordinary efforts to dispose of the
flowers, they accumulate. Beauties are
abundant. They are sold in large num-
bers at prices that are fair for the
season. The better grades of the other
varieties are sold; carefully selected
roses are sold in small, and occasionally
in large, quantities at excellent prices.
When open, old, unselected, they are
sold at prices that seem low even to
those accustomed to low prices-
Taken all in all the market for the
current week is fully up to the average
of mid-May; probably it is a little
ahead of the average. White peonies
have maSe their appearance fresh from
the sunny south. Blue cornflowers,
bluets they are called, are here, too.
Sweet peas of the summer sorts from
outdoors, where drought is unknown,
lead their jaded winter-blooming rivalsj
Cattleyas and valley have slipped back
to the rear of the stage for the time-
being. White lilac has withdrawn alto-
gether, promising to reappear next week

the other toward law. A visit was im-
mediately planned and promptly car-
ried out.

Mrs. Sarah I. Smith has about 15,000
square feet of glass at Secane, devoted
to violets, carnations, sweet peas and,
as a summer crop, to asters. She em-
barked in business as a florist eight
years ago. Her first effort, in Atlantic
City, N. J., was in a small way. A
few frames devoted to violets, cared for
by a true lover of the modest little
flower, produced an abundance of
blooms of such fine quality that Mrs.
Smith decided to test their value in
the wholesale market, sending them to
this city.

The encouragement brought by the
sale of those violets from the frames
resulted in the purchase of a half dozen
acres of ground at Secane. Here Mrs.
Smith built a modern residence, for
which she drew her own plans, and
erected two greenhouses, 10x75; the
others have been built since. Violets,
her first love, were planted and grown
with the knowledge acquired from her
experience with the coldframes. Mrs.
Smith's single violets, fancy varieties
in large bunches, have been a feature in
the wholesale market. Carnations have
since been added and, to judge by
the wealth of bud now on the plants,
they have done well. Enchantress,
White Enchantress, White Perfection,
Winsor, Mrs. C. W. Ward, Alma Ward
and Beacon are the principal varieties.
Sweet peas are grown as a side crop,
many of them in boxes about 6x12
inches, placed next the supports of the
house, on which the vines twine. Asters
will follow as soon as the crops now
in the houses are over.

Mrs. Smith has recently added more
ground, strong evidence of prosperity.
She attributes the success of her flowers
to the excellent soil, but the combina-
tion of Mrs. Smith's care and the soil
is unquestionably the potent factor.
Experience, Mrs. Smith thinks, is the
best teacher. She attends to all the
practical details, overseeing the green-
houses and working in them all day.
She is an enthusiastic lover of flowers,
deriving health and pleasure, as well as
profit, from her chosen work.

carnations are nearing the end and
the really good flowers arriving are
not numerous. The quality has held
up surprisingly well, but the late heat
wave has caused many to become
spidery and the general quality is on
the decline. Koses are suffering froni

only at low rates. Eichmond is get-

when there was an attendance of 130
members. The exhibits included Lilium
myriophyllum and L. leucanthemum
from R. & J. Farquhar & Co., awarded
a report of merit, and Brasso-cattleya
Veitchii, for which W. A. Manda re
ceived honorable mention, and a general
collection of orchids for which the same
exhibitor received a vote of thanks.
The membership list was again in-
creased four names. It was voted to
place a list of subscribers to the late
S. A. F. entertainment fund on record.
It was announced that a special enter-
tainment for ladies will be provided for
the June meeting. It was voted to
hold a picnic as usual, and an invita-
tion was received to join with the
North Shore Horticultural Society for
it. The question box was especially
well filled.

Various Notes.

The Halifax Garden Co., of Halifax,
Mass., threw its extensive greenhouses
open to the public May 13 and Moth-
ers' day, May 14, and many hundreds
availed themselves of the opportunity
to see the splendidly grown carnations,
sweet peas and various hothouse vege-
tables. W. E. Lenk, the superintend
ent, is more than pleased with this
year's opening, the sales for Mothers'
day far surpassing all expectations.

J. T. Butterworth, of South Fram
ingham, has a superb lot of Cattleya
Mossiae, also some grand Miltonia vex-
illaria, odontoglossums and other sum
mer orchids, all of which he grows well.
Several Review readers have lately
been inquiring about the Godfrey
calla. The writer saw a fine batch
of this variety growing at William
Nicholson 's, Framingham, Mass., last
winter. It was producing treble the
flowers of the old variety, flowers fully
as large and color purer. Mr. Nichol-
son is an enthusiastic admirer of this
fine calla and anyone seeing it as he
grows it would want to try some.

Edgar Bros., of Waverley, are get-
ting a heavy pick of sweet peas from
their houses, including some extra fine
Spencers. They follow the peas with
chrysanthemums.

According to Prof. C. S. Sargent, the
damage done to evergreens last winter
was greater than in any single year
during the last three decades.

May 14 was more generally observed

talk up carnations as the only Moth-
ers' day flowers, as a number do. No
special flower should be boomed at the
expense of others.

Henry M. Bobinson & Co., when the
writer called upon them, were as usual
up to their ears in business and are
making great preparations for an im-
mense Memorial day trade. Their
dagger ferns are fine. They are fea-
turing lyrata as a substitute for south-
ern smilax.

There are general complaints of the
inferior quality of tulips and narcissi
outdoors this season. The Hollanders
arc blamed for selling inferior bulbs,
but the fact that varieties which were
of splendid quality indoors are infe-
rior outdoors goes to show that it is the
long dragging winter, the acute defi-
ciency in rainfall and the arrival of
a hot wave which forced flowers out
prematurely, and being quite dry at
the root they lasted a brief period.
Tulips average only half their cus-
tomary height and narcissi are little
over half their usual size.

Thomas Roland has this week com-
menced work on his big new range of
greenhouses at Eevere.

The display of mains at the Arnold
Arboretum is this week at its height.
Many of the lilacs are already in bloom
and about May 20 the display should
be at its best. All varieties are heavily
flowered.

Local nurseries are still shipping
some deciduous stock and will continue
to send out evergreens the rest of the
month. While the volume of business
has been heavy, the short and dry
season has made it a not altogether
satisfactory one.

The W. W. Edgar Co. has a grand
lot of Memorial day hydrangeas and a
big stock of bedding plants of all sorts,
which they are moving rapidly.

E. D. Kaulback & Son, of Maiden,
are bedding plant specialists who are
doing a large and increasing business
each year. Of geraniums alone they
have over 50,000 in all the leading
sorts. They report business as satis-
factory. W. N. Craig.

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.

The Market.

There is either "a feast or a fam-
ine ' ' of carnations in this market. A
few weeks ago they were being sold at
any price, but even that did not induce
the retailers to buy what they could
not sell, and a great many were dumped.
Then the growers started to throw out
their old plants to plant anew, and,
consequently, during the last week the
carnation market has cleaned up every
day.

Mothers ' day called for more white
than could be supplied. Large ship-
ments were sent out to the surrounding
cities and states as early as Wednes-
day, and by Saturday there was hardly
a white carnation to be had for the city
trade. It is rather a diflficult matter to
tell two or three weeks ahead of time
just how many carnations there will be
on a certain day, and sometimes mis-
takes are made in accepting orders for
so many It is somewhat like a game
of chance, and the man whose order is
filled completely at a time like this
should congratulate himself on his good

ful. The quality is still quite good and
the demand steady. Cape jasmine has
arrived and is on sale at several of the
large grocery stores.

Memorial day is always a trying time
for the florists. It is almost impossible
to tell what there will be in the way of
outdoor stuff, as the weather is so un
certain at this season of the year. It is
possible that there may be snow before
that time. It has been known to come
as late as this. Lilacs are in full bloom
now and will be gone in a few days, so
they are out of the qucst'on. Snowballs
look as though they will be in good con
dition and there will probalily be some
peonies. Carnations will be scarce, as
orders are already booked for about as
many as can be supplied.

Various Notes.

William Speth, of the Speth Floral

the effects of the fall.

feldt, Odense, Denmark. Mr. Jensen
was on his way to New York after a
trip to the Pacific coast.

F. H. Henry, of Henry & Lee, New-
York, passed through Chicago May 15 on
his way to the Pacific coast, where he
will join Eobert Fulton, of his firm, who
has been ill since January, of a nervous
disorder. Mr. Henry may continue his
trip to Japan in case Mr. Fulton is not
able to make his annual voyage.

The W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, has
leased the premises at 231 to 235 West
Madison street, a five-story building, 45x
183 feet, occupied at present by the Chi-
cago American newspaper, and after
thoroughly remodeling same, expects to
occupy the new quarters about January
1, 1912. The location is on the main
line of travel to the Union Station and
the new Northwestern Station, soon to
be opened. It is ideal for the counter
trade.

On account of a somewhat backward
spring and the absence of rain up to
about May 1, little was done before that
date in the Michigan pea section. Re-
cently there have been nice showers,
which put the soil in fine condition, and
caused great activity among the farm-
ers. By May 15 the peas were practi-
cally all in the ground. C. B. Pyle, at
Jackson, N. Y., said he thought the seed
was going in under fair conditions and
that, in his opinion, the next forty days
would tell the tale regarding the sea-
son's crop.

HYACINTH DUTY AND ORAMMAB.

Text of Customs Court Decision.

Through The Eeview for May 4 the
trade received the news of the court de-
cision that the duty on hyacinth bulbs
is 50 cents per thousand under the ex-
isting tariflf act, instead of $2.50 per
thousand, as assessed during the two
seasons since the act went into effect.
The full text of the court's decision is
now available and will be of interest,
especially as most of those in the trade
believed that the intent of congress
was to provide for the higher rate.
Considering that the evidence in the
case shows that hyacinth clumps are
hardly an article of international com-
merce, one knowing the bulb trade and
who is not completely enamored of our

as follows:

BRECK & SON V. UNITED STATES.

1. "Hyacinth" in Paragraph 261, Tariff Act

of 1909.
The only assignable reason for the change of
"hyacinths" in paragraph 251, tariff act of 1897,
to "hyacinth" In paragraph 263, tariff act of
1909, Is the word in the last case was employed
as an adjective and not a noun, and "liyaciiith"
in the connection there used must accordingiy
take Its grammatical construction as an ad-
jective; and this more especially as there is
nothing to indicate a contrary intent In framing
that paragraph.

2. Hyacinth Clumps.

Hvaclnth clumps are clusters of roots or bulbs
Joined together and are within the ordinary mean-
ing of the word "clumps."

3. Hyacinth Bulbs.

A comparison between the former law and the
later form of it seems to make it clear the im-
portation was dutiable not as hyacinth, and so
taking a higher duty, but as bulbs from which
clumps are propagated, at a lesser rate of duty,
under paragraph 261, tariff act of 1909.

SEVEN TOP TURNIP

C Originally introduced by us from South Carolina in 1850 and annually grown for over
sixty years under the zero winter temperature of Bloomsdale Farms, the Landreths'
strain of Seven Top has obtained, by this northern culture, a hardiness not approached
by southern-grown seed. All Inferences would point that way, while thousands of exper-
iments have ponclusively proven it beyond a shadow of doubt; consequently, one pound
of Landreths' Seven Top will in the dead of winter produce more greens than can be cut
from three times the more delicate southern-grown Seven Top.

Care of Messrs. Maltus ft Ware, 14 Stone Street, New York

Mention The Review when you write.

The importer, appellant here, main-
tains that they are dutiable at 50 cents
per thousand under the last provision
of the same paragraph, ' ' all other
bulbs." The Board of General Ap-
praisers overruled the protest.

The determination of this issue,
which is one essentially of construction
of law, will be aided by an examina-
tion of paragraph 251 of the tariff act
of 1897, of which the foregoing para-
graph was the successor.

Paragraph 251 of the tariff act of

1897 reads as follows:

2.11. Orcliliis, paImB, dracaenas, crotons and
azaleas, tulips, hyacinths, narcissi. Jonquils,
lilies, lilies of the valley, and all other bulbs,
bulbous roots, or corms, which are cultivated for
their flowers, and natural flowers of ail kinds,
preserved or fresh, suitable for decorative pur-
poses, twenty-flve per centum ad valorem.

The conclusion herein reached is de-
pendent upon whether or not the word
"hyacinth," as used in paragraph 263,
supra, is used as an adjective modify
ing the word "clumps," in the same
paragraph, or as a noun, embracing
therewith all merchandise covered by
its import.

The scheme of enactment adopted in
the act of 1897 obviously differs from
that adopted in the act of 1909. In
the act of 1897 plural nouns were used
covering the various classes of mer-
chandise intended to be made dutiable,
followed by a modifying phrase defin-
ing the precise application in which the
preceding nouns were employed by con-
gress. The plan of the act of 1909
differs. The subjects of legislation were
divided in accordance with the rate to
be applied, those assessed at the same
rate being included in the same brack-
ets, the brackets being divided by a
semicolon. The first bracket followed
the scheme of the act of 1897 by using
nouns with a general modifying phrase
and applying the same ad valorem
rate. The remaining brackets adopted
the adjectival plan. In the whole
scheme, with reference to these brack-
ets, excepting the first, a change from

ology of the statute was changed In order to
change Its meaning. The very fact that the prior

be that It was Intended to change the statute In
all particulars touching which we find a material

V. Bashaw (50 Fed. Uep., 749) and Rothschild v.
United States (179 U. S., 463).

The only conceivable reason for the
changing of the word "hyacinths"
from the plural in the act of 1897 to
the singular in the act of 1909 is to
make it an adjective instead of a noun.
Strength is added to this conclusion by
the fact that if the word is used in the
act of 1909 as a noun, it is used dif-
ferently from the manner in which sim-
ilar words are customarily used in
tariff acts, for when used as a noun
descriptive of merchandise eo nomine
such words are customarily used in the
plural. If the nounal rather than the
adjectival sense is to be given the
word "hyacinth," as used in paragraph
263, it will differ from the obvious
sense in which all such words are used
in the framework of that paragraph
and will stand alone as the one noun
used in the paragraph in the singular
rather than in the plural, and the one
word used as a noun in several pre-
cisely similar texts.

paragraph used in an adjectival sense
modifying the -words "clumps" and
"bulbs" at the end of each of the
brackets is shown by the insertion of
the word "pips" after the words "lily
of the valley" in the second bracket.
It would have been unnecessary if the
words "lily of the valley" were used
in the nounal sense and the word
"bulbs" were modified by the word
"gloxinia" only. The same inference
is gathered from the second enumera-
tion of "lily of the valley clumps" in
the third bracket. If these words were
used by congress in the nounal sense,
as contended by the government the
single use of the words "lily of the
valley" in the second bracket, with-
out being followed by the word "pips,"
would have been sufficient to embrace
lily of the valley clumps, pips, or
bulbs, if the contention of the govern-
ment is true.

The grammatical construction of the
phrase concedes to the word ' ' hya-
cinth" an adjectival sense modifying
the word "clumps."

It is a well-settled rule of construc-
tion that the grammatical sense must
be adopted unless there are within the
statute cogent reasons indicating a con-
trary intent upon the part of the law
makers.

In Endlich on the Interpretation of
the Statutes, section 2, it is stated:

The first and most elementary rule of construc-
tion Is, • • « and that the phrases and sen-
tences are to be construed according to the rules
of grammar; and from this presumption It Is not
allowable to depart, unless adequate grounds are
found, either in the context or In the conse-
quences which would result from the literal Inter-
pretation, for concluding that the interpretation
does not give the real Intention of the legislature.

More definitely applied, the same au-
thority in section 414, after citing and
reviewing many adjudged cases in
point, states:

Indeed. In most cases, it will be found, on some
ground of this sort, that, where several words are
followed by a general qualifying expression which
Is as much applicable to the first as to the last,
that expression Is not limited to the last, but
applies to all.

In Lewis' Sutherland Statutory Con-
struction, section 408, the rule is af-
firmed in this language:

Statutes as well as other writings are to be
read and understood primarily according to their
grammatical sense, unlesB It Is apparent that the
author intended something different. In other
words. It Is presumed that the writer Intended
to be understood according to the grammatical
purport of the language he has employed to ex-
press his meaning. This presumption gives way
when It appears from a perusal of the context or
the whole statute that the legislature did not
grammatically express Its Intention.

There is nothing in the context of
this paragraph or act which to our
minds indicates that the word "hj'a-
cinth" was to be used other than in
its grammatical sense, and as such sen-
tences are construed by the courts, to-
wit, as an adjective modifying the word
"clumps." On the contrary, for the
reasons stated before, we think the con-
text and history of the paragraph indi-
cates the intention upon the part of
congress to use the word in an ad-
jectival sense.

We are of the opinion, therefore, that
by the proper provision of paragraph
263 congress intended to and did levy
a duty of $2.50 per thousand upon
"hyacinth clumps," and that the only

If Lily Bulbs could be
manufactured we would make
them so well that they would
practically be perfect. Since
this is impossible, however,
we do the next best thing by
importing only the very best
produced. Bulbs are a pro-
duct of the earth, and the
most mortal man can do is to
cultivate them properly and
increase their flowering ca-
pacity. There is no firm in
existence today paying more
attention to quality than we
are, and the grand majority
pay no attention to any
particulars except the price.
Horseshoe Brand Bulbs are
today giving the best average
of any brand known. They
cost no more per flower than
any other brand and you can
depend on them. Cold Stor-
age Giganteum, Formosum,
Magnificum and Auratum
ready for immediate or future
delivery.

I Kills Weeds in 48 Hours I

<LAmmoniated Lawn Lime, a light top dressing for lawns, does it. Kills flat-leaved weeds, such as
Dandelion, Daisy, Plantain, Sorrel, Chickweed, Moss, etc., in 48 hours.

<LSaves time and labor weeding lawns.

CIs far superior to hand weeding, because it kills the weeds, making the pulling up or injuring the
grass unnecessary. This wonderful compound will kill the weeds without injury to the grass, when
used as directed. If very weedy, 1 lb. to 40 square feet; 25 lbs. to 1000 square feet (20x50). Half
to one-quarter amount if moderately weedy.

AMMONIATED LAWN LIME

Makes Grass Grow. Insures a New, Vigorous Growth.

C,Produce8 a lawn grass that is wonderfully luxuriant, and a rich green distinctly noticeable.

< 4I.Ammoniated Lawn Lime is now in general use throughout the country, with results so satisfactory

as to insure repeated orders from a single trial. It is guaranteed as represented.

provision in that paragraph or the act
for hyacinth bulbs is the provision for
' ' all other bulbs. ' '

The government further answers this
appeal by the statement that that con-
struction should not be adopted for the
reason that there is no such thing
known as "hyacinth clumps."

It is conceded by all parties to the
record that the particular importation
is a "hyacinth bulb." It was shown
clearly by the record, which is replete
with all obtainable information upon
the subject, that a "clump" from a
horticultural standpoint is a "cluster
of thickly grown plants and the roots
intermingled together. It always takes
two or more plants to make a cluster
or clump"; and, further, quoting the
testimony of another witness, it is "a
mass of crowns or underground buds
shooting from no common center, hav-
ing several different germinating folli-
cles in this mass. "

"Bulb," as the word signifies, is de-
fined as a germinating follicle, "emit-
ting from its center within its flower
shoots and foliage, and all from one
common center."

These descriptive definitions, of
which there are many in the record,
are in accord with and in nowise diflfer
from the common understanding and
acceptation of those terms as applied
to the subject matter.

It is shown by the record that the
propagation of the hyacinth is one
covering an extended period of time,
and of peculiar development. Briefly
stated, and there is no controversy in
the record upon this point, to effect that
jjurpose hyacinth bulbs peculiarly fitted

Cambridge, Mass. — Edmund Eeardon,
the Cambridgeport florist, was one of
the founders of the John Eeardon &
Sons Co., soap manufacturers, and still
retains an interest in the business. He
was formerly president of the Citizens'
Trade Association and still takes an
active part in that society's work for
the promotion of the city's business in-
terests. His greenhouses were origi-
nally conducted as a private enterprise
connected with his home estate, but he
gradually drifted into commercial lines
and is now doing a prosperous general

PACIFIC COAST.

The fifth annual rose festival at Port-
land, Ore., will be held June 5 to 10.

Pasadena, Cal. — H. F. Prentice, of
Long Beach, has secured a 3-acre tract
of ground in the southeast part of town,
and will erect greenhouses there. He
expects to grow flowers for the Los
Angeles market. He has but recently
come from the east, where he conducted
a nursery and greenhouses near New
York city.

THE SAN JOSE MEETING.

Fifty members of the Pacific Coast
Nurserymen's Association will leave
Seattle in June to attend the annual
meeting at San Jose, Cal., which will
be opened June 21 and continue for
two or three days. The representatives
from the northwest will leave by the
same boat as a large party of eastern
delegates to the Sunday school conven-
tion in San Francisco.

The nurserymen will represent the
states of Washington, Montana, Idaho
and Oregon, which hold the leading po-
sition in the association, organized
about five years ago. The organization
was largely due to the efforts of C.
A. Tonneson, of Tacoma, who was
elected secretary, which position he
since has filled. The meetings up to
the present have been held in the
northwest, this being the first session
to be held in California.

A full account of the arrangements
for this convention was published in
The Eeview of April 20, page 58.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The weather has turned warm again,
after quite a spell of cool days and
nights. Flowers of all seasonable kinds
are plentiful and of excellent quality.
Business, however, is chiefly noticeable
by its absence. The closing of the
schools and an occasional wedding dec-
oration are all that loom on the hori-
zon at present, but Memorial day is
not far off, and that will help to glad-
den the heart of the retailer.

Outside stock is beginning to be quite
a factor in the trade. Sweet peas,
which were rather scarce for a couple
of months, have suddenly made quite a
showing and are among the most popu-
lar flowers at this time. Peonies are
in full sway. The Bride and other early
gladioli are rather plentiful. Spanish
iris, anemones and half a dozen varie-
ties of wild flowers are in full swing
and everything looks like springtime.
Violets are over. Lilium longiflorum,
, valley and late tulips are much scarcer
and in a few days the last named will
be gone for the season.

The Market.

Business is about the same as pre-
viously reported; the counter trade is
steady, but the sales are mostly small,
with funeral work to break the monot-
ony. The variety of flowers is limited,
carnations having the principal demand,
while roses are in firm form, with a
daily clean-up.

The lateness of the season has de-
layed all outside stock, but that is a
good thing for the florists with Decora-
tion day approaching. ,

Advance orders at the time of writ-
ing indicated that business for Moth-
ers' day would be of greater proportion
than in former years. The governor
issued a proclamation and flowers were
to be given away by all the churches.

Now Is the time to order your supply of Fischer's grand Freesia Purity. Be sure to ask
your dealer for Fischer's guaranteed stock, grown by him and supplied to you in his origi-
nal package ; for this stock is never sold in bulk, but is always packed by him in 100, &0
and 500 bulb muslin bags, stamped and indorsed by his signature. Insist upon getting his
guaranteed stock, for then you are sure you are getting the pure stock that is grown In the
open field in the pure air and sunshine ; is thoroughly ripened and absolutely free from
culls, and not stock that has been raised from its own seed, which never comes true, or
lathbouse grown, which is likely to rot in your benches, instead of growing, owing to the
very green, unripe state in which it is dug to get it ready for market in time, or stock
that Is grown on contract and therefore with the least trouble to the grower, which will
very soon evolve Itself into a mixture little removed from refracta alba. Eternal vigi-
lance is absolutely necessary to keep it pure. Do not run any risk when you order your
Freesia Purity, for it is up to you whether you get the pure stock or a mixture.

To protect both you and himself, his stock this year is sold under guarantee in any
sized package to suit dealers, not exceeding 500 in any one package. A certificate of guar-
antee is enclosed in each package, and Rudolph Fischer's signature is on the outside of
package. If you want to get the true stock, insist upon getting it packed as abovie.

Your dealer will get it for you ; if not, write to me and I will tell you who will.

NURSERY NEWS.

AHIBICAN ASSOCIATION OF NUBSERTMEN.

Officers for 1910-11 : Pres., W. P. Stark, Louisi-
ana, Mo.; VIce-pres.. E, 8. Welch, Shenandoah,
la.; Sec'y, John Hall Rochester, N. Y.; Treas.,
C. L. Yates, Rochester, N. Y. Thirty-sixth an-
nual meeting, tit. Louis, June 14 to 16. 1911.

J. Dykhuis, of the firm of Felix &
Dykbuis, Boskoop, Holland, has arrived
at New York for his annual business trip
through the United States and Canada.

The question, ' ' What is an evergreen
seedling?" has not yet been settled in
the minds of the customs authorities; no
two collectors make the same classifica-
tions.

Wm. Pitkin, chairman of the A. A.
N. committee on legislation, is advised
that no action will be taken on the Sim-
mons bill at the extra session of Con-
gress.

An order was issued May 11 by the
State Eailroad & Warehouse Commis-
sion of Minnesota, canceling the half
rates on nursery stock heretofore made
by the railroads of that state and au-
thorizing the railroads to increase the
rates, effective June 1.

J. H. Hale has just returned home
to Glastonbury, Conn., after a trip to
his orchards, and others, in Georgia. He
estimates the Georgia crop this season
as between 1,000 and 1,200 carloads. It
will begin to move the last of this
month. The season is ten days earlier
than usual, but all the peach prospects
north of Macon and Atlanta were frozen
out at blooming time. Compared with
the customary Georgia crop of 3,000 car-
loads, or last year's bumper crop of
6,200, this year's is small, but the fruit
promises to be of extra quality and size.

THE QUARANTINE BILL.

The so-called Simmons bill, giving
the Secretary of Agriculture authority
to establish quarantine against nursery
stock from insect infested districts,
was referred to the committee on agri-
culture, which will give the trade a
hearing before the bill is reported out.
The text of the bill is:
H. R. 8611.
IN THE HOUSE OF KEPKESENTATIVES.
MAY 4, 1911.
A BILL
To regulate the Imporfatlon and Interstate trans-
portation of nursery stock, to enable the Secre-
tary of Agriculture to establish and maintain
auaraullne districts for plant diseases and in-
sect pests, to permit and regulate the move-
ment of fruits, plants, and vegetables there-
from, and for other purposes.
Be It enacted bv the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of America,
In Congress assembled. That from and after

therefor are chosen; the bulb is then
scooped out or T crosses made on the
exterior and bottom with a knife; it
is then stored in a dry, warm place
until little bulblets, so-called, are
started; these little bulblets germinate
upon the wounds of the bulb made by
the scooping or cutting; it is main-
tained in a particular temperature for
about three months, whereupon these
little bulblets are formed; the result is
then planted like an ordinary bulb, and
the little bulblets grown in the mother
bulb and form little sprouts, and while
in the ground gradually consume the
mother bulb, whereupon they are taken
up to be dried and planted again, which
process is repeated until they become a
matured hyacinth.

Pictures were introduced showing the
cluster of little bulblets on a mother
bulb, and it is claimed by the importer,
appellant, and was testified by the wit-
nesses that this is what could be prop-
erly characterized as a "hyacinth
clump." It is undoubtedly a cluster of
roots or bulbs joined together, and
within the ordinary understanding of
the word "clumps." That such clumps
exist in Holland in great numbers, are
interchanged among the growers there,
and occasionally, though in r.<ire in-
stances, are imported into this country,
is made clear by the record. As shown
by the record, successful importation
must be attended with very great care.
For experimental propagation of these,
the record shows, importations have
been made by the government, a plant
has been established in the state of
Washington, and their cultivation made
a matter of governmental attention and
effort.

In the light of these facts this court
does not feel warranted in disturbing
the grammatical construction and ap-
parent intent of the congress in the en-
actment of paragraph 263 as affecting
hyacinth clumps. Indeed, the act being
a protective one for the purpose of not
alone maintaining existing industries,
but particularly for the purpose of de-
veloping new industries, these facts ap-
pear to be in perfect harmony with the
purposes of the act and argue an inten-
tion of the congress to levy a duty upon
hyacinth clumps, and in furtherance of
the propagation thereof a lesser duty
upon the hyacinth bulb from which
the clump is propagated.

Eeversed.

Montgomery, presiding judge, and
Smith and Barber, judges, concur.

MEBIDEN, CONN.

The IVIarket.

Mothers' day business was good. In
the early part of the week, however,
trade was not so brisk. At the end of
the week much funeral work took up
all roses, carnations, lilies and a lot of
bulbous stock and lily of the valley.
The general quality of the roses has
never been better for this season of
the year. Beauties, Killarneys and
Bichmonds deserve special mention.
Pink roses have been in special de-
mand. Carnations were never better
than last week.

Mothers' day business started on Sat-
urday morning and continued briskly
until midnight. Everyone reports busi-
ness much bigger and better than last
year. Cut flowers of all kinds sold
well in the larger downtown stores, but
in the outskirts the demand was not so
great. This was offset, however, by the
number of flowering plants sold. The
demand for these was much larger than
in the past, and azaleas seemed to be
the favorites. Ferns were sold in big
numbers. Carnations were in great de-
mand; naturally pink and white were
the most sought after colors. Boses
were also sold in large numbers.

This is really the first time Mothers'
day has been observed here to any great
extent. The florists seem to have been
■well repaid for all efforts put forth to
make the day successful.

Various Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Greenbacker
are rejoicing over the arrival of a
baby girl, born May 9. We extend our
hearty congratulations.

The Blatchley Co. reports a fine sale
of carnations on Saturday, May 13,
white and pink being the favorite
colors.

Joseph Greenbacker had a special
sale last week, and the stock oflfered
constituted one of the best displays of
spring plants and flowers that he has
ever shown, including pansies in every
available color and a large variety
of potted plants, all in bloom. Many
people took advantage of this sale and
purchased flowers and plants for their
gardens.

John Bonell reports a fine trade for
last week, the business being double
that for the same week last vear. B.

Oklahoma City, Okla. — This city has
a new retail store, making four, and
they all seem to be doing a fair
business.

BALTIMOBE.

The Market.

Mothers' day was the feature of the
cut flower market during the week
ending May 13. The success of this
anniversary was remarkable. Last
year it made a pronounced hit, but
this year the popular observance so
far exceeded last year that there was
no comparison. The demand was so
great that the supply was entirely in-
adequate, despite the special prepara-
tion by our wholesale florists.

The demand for white carnations
was greater than at Christmas or at
Easter, and of course this greatly
helped the cut flower market in other
lines, by bringing flower buyers to the
stores at a time when they were badly
needed.

The rose crops are extremely heavy
just now, and it requires a good deal
of Exertion on the part of the growers
to keep the stock moving. Sweet peas
are less abundant, but some extra fine
ones are to be had in limited quanti-
ties. Good Darwin and other late tu-
lips are still seen and outdoor valley
is now at its best and, as its quality is
much ahead of the forced article, it is
in good demand. Good gladioli can
now be obtained.

The bedding plant trade has taken
on new life and growers are kept on
the jump. Geraniums are still the
leaders and promise to be none too
plentiful, because of the scarcity of
stock last fall in this locality.

Various Notes.

Chas. Seybold is busy planting sev-
eral large private estates and finds
good stock exceedingly scarce. Mr.
Seybold is interested in the vacant lot
gardens. School children will be in-
structed as to the care and treatment
of all kinds of flowering plants and
each one will be given a chance to
win one of the numerous prizes offered
for the best appearing vacant lot
gardens. Q.

Belfast, Me. — Willis E. Hamilton be-
gan business here twenty-six years ago
and has built up a substantial, prosper-
ous trade in cut flowers, plants and
vegetables. In the management of the
business he is ably assisted by Mrs.
Hamilton and their son, Everett. He
has two greenhouses at Cedar and
Franklin streets, and five greenhouses,
with two and one-half acres of land,
on Congress street.

The grandest Fern of (he age

NEPHROLEPIS
ROOSEVELT

INPORTANT SPECIAL NOTICE-PRICE ADVANCE

HHE heavy demand from those who have seen Ne-
phrolepls Roosevelt growing on our place and
scarcity of stock compels us to advance the price on
all orders dated after June 1st to the following:

2X-in. pots, 50c each; $4.50 per doz.;
$35.00 per 100 ; $300.00 per 1000.

It is our belief the price of Nephrolepis Roosevelt for 1911 will be maintained during the season of 1912.

Nephrolepis lioosevelt is a sport from Nephrolepis Bostoniensis, but a wonderful improvement over the parent vari-
ety. The fronds of Roosevelt are from a third to one-half wider than Boston and beautifully tapered from base to tip.
Each of the pinnae is distinctly undulated, giving the whole plant a decidedly wavy effect which attracts the eye instantly.
Nephrolepis Roosevelt will make more young plants, produce a third more fronds, has more graceful, drooping habit
and will finish to a larger and finer plant in small pots than any other fern on the market. Our stock is positively free
from that vicious little white scale which is causing fern growers so much trouble.

Orders received to June Ist will be booked at the following prices: 2X-inch pots, 40c each; |3.50 per doz. ; $25.00
per 100; $200.00 per 1000, 25 plants at 100 rate; 250 plants at 1000 rate.

The Market.

Mothers' day should be recorded as
a red letter day in the florists' business.
All the local florists report a fine trade.
It seems that an effort should be made
to have the public understand the
meaning of the colors, and that white
flowers of any sort will do as well as
carnations. Naturally, the divine flower
should come in for its due share of
popularity on that day, but not to the
exclusion of other flowers.

The market certainly had a week of
excellent business. The warm weather
brought out the flowers in profusion.
Carnations were plentiful, especially
white, but more of them could have
been handled easily if it had been pos-
sible to get them. Sweet peas, lilies
and roses are in ample supply.

Wedding bells are ringing constantly.
Every retailer seems to have his share
of the good things, and some of the
decorations run up into large sums. It
has been a good month.

Various Notes.

Alex. Dallas is busy getting ready to
go to his new place, at Mill End. At
his stores a fine trade is reported for
last week.

Mr. Young, of East Main street, has
purchased a new automobile for deliv-
ery purposes.

Saxe & Floto, who run a first-class
store at 60 South Main street, report a
prosperous winter. They had a fine
business for Mothers' day.

The Flower Shop, 144 Bank street,
had an unusually artistic window dis-
play last wedk. They report a brisk
business. B.

TORONTO.

The Market.

Things are moving along nicely.
There is no special rush, but design
■work continues plentiful. Stock is
coming on the market in good condi-
tion and everything is abundant, with
the exception of carnations. It is not
likely, however, that this will last long.
Lilies are still coming on the market
heavily and the price is low. A large
number are being used in funeral work.
Hydrangeas are coming in quite plen-
tifully and are good. Roses are in
good supply and show excellent condi-
tion. The hot weather, however, is begin-
ning to show on Bride and Maid. Beau-
ties are of exceptionally good quality.
Gladioli are coming on the market in
fairly large supply and are eagerly
bought. Peach Blossom is especially
plentiful. Blushing Bride is in big
demand, but there are few of this
variety on the market. It does not
seem to be grown here. Good orchids
are coming in. Some fine Cattleya
Mossiee are seen. Iris is plentiful, par-
ticularly the Spanish variety.

The trade in bedding plants has
started with a rush. A visit to the
market, to Mrs. Endean, the Steele-
Briggs Seed Co., or J. A. Simmers,
shows people buying freely. Several of
the up-town florists handle plants and
report a big business. On Saturdays
an enormous business is done in this
line at St. Lawrence market.

Various Notes.

The spring meeting of the Ontario
Jockey Club opens May 20. This means
a lot of extra work, as this is the
society event of the year. J. H. Dun-
lop has the order for all the official
work.

From present indications, June will
be a busy month in weddings. Many
large orders are booked.

S. A. Frost has just received a large
importation of bay trees from Belgium.
He is pushing the sale of these and
reports a large number of orders. This
last shipment is fine. Boxwood also
is having a big sale.

J. J. Higgins, C. A. Lewis and the
F. Simpson Co. all report a good trade,
particularly in bedding plants.

Sunday was Mothers' day and the
demand for white flowers was brisk.
This day is always commented on in
the press beforehand and, as a result,
many button-holes of roses and carna-
tions are sold. S. A. Frost had several
display cards in his window calling the
attention of the public to the day and
did a fine trade. E. A. F.

Greenhouse Heating.

IN EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS.

Will you please tell me how many-
lines of 2-inch pipe, for hot water, are
needed to heat a house 11x40 feet and
seven feet to the eaves, with forty-two
inches of glass, the rest of the walls
being wood? I want a temperature
of 60 degrees when the outside tem-
perature is 10 degrees below zero. The
house runs east and west and is between
two larger houses. There will be one
6-foot bench. E. G. W.

For a house 11x40 feet, with forty-
two inches of glass in each side wall,
two 21/^-inch flow pipes and eight 2-
inch returns will be ample to secure a
temperature of 60 degrees, when the
mercury does not drop more than 10
degrees below zero.

A RANGE IN SWEDEN.

Kindly give me some information
in regard to the arrangement of my
heating system. I have about 30,000
square feet of glass, which I intend
to heat with hot water. The houses
are separate, each 220 feet long, and
run east and west. They vary in width
from twenty to thirty feet and the
required temperatures vary from 50 to
60 degrees. Through the middle of the
range, crosswise of the houses, extends
a passage, where I intend to put the
main and return pipes, with pipes run
ning east and west from these to a
distance of about 100 feet. The boiler-
room, with a pit six feet deep, is at the
north side of the houses and contains
space enough for three large boilers, in
battery, to heat all the houses.

I should like to know which would
be the better way — to install one large
main, running all through the middle
passage and branching off into 2^4-
inch flows in each house, and also a
large return to take all the return
water from all the houses, or to use
a 3-inch flow and 3-inch return as
main pipes in each house. If the lat-
ter plan is followed, the greatest dis-
tance that the water will travel will
be about 250 feet. How large should
the foundation be for a square brick
chimney sixty feet high, in heavy clay-
ground? B. & C.

It will probably be best to run one
flow pipe on each side of the passage-
way, making these pipes sufficiently
large to supply all of the houses, ex-
cept perhaps the first house on each

"THAT IS THE BOILER I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR"

The points of merit that appealed to the judges and the critical visitors were that the fire-
box is entirely surrounded by water, there being no brick work to require constant repair ;
every part of the boiler is easily accessible for cleaning and oiling, which is the most impor-
tant feature to ba considered in purchasing a boiler that is idle during the summer months ;

It's Fool Proof

Easier to Fire tlian a Plain Grate

^ No long fingers to grate-bar to be left sticking up to be burned off, or which can
warp and strike when being brought back to place.

C Nothing to catch the cleaning tools — surface as smooth as on a plain grate.

C!. A ton of slack or screenings burned on a Martin Grate will give as good steam
results as you can get from high-grade coal on plain grates.

side, for which a separate main could
be used. A S^^-inch flow will answer
for each of these houses. For each
of the larger mains use a 5-inch pipe.
In the houses take three 2%-inch flows
and from eight to fifteen 2-inch returns,
according to the widths of the houses
and the temperatures desired. The
baJse of the chimney should be eight
feet square and deep enough to extend
below the frost line.

ONE DETACHED HOUSE.

"Will you kindly inform me what is
the best method of piping, for hot
water, one detached house, 17x42 feet,
running north and south? It measures
ten feet to the ridge and the side walls
are four feet two inches high, with
three feet of glass. The south gable
is glass; the north gable is joined to a
shed. The house is slightly protected
by buildings. The boiler will be two
feet below the level of the greenhouse.
What rating of boiler will be required?
The climate here, in southeastern Kan-
sas, is generally mild. I should pre-
fer to place all pipes on the side walls,
if practicable. W. C. L.

To heat the house described to 60
degrees, when the mercury outside is
10 degrees below zero, two 2 14 -inch
flow pipes and twelve 2-inch returns
should be used. The flows and returns
can be upon the side walls, if preferred.
A boiler rated for 600 square feet of
radiating surface will give a good
margin.

BEBUILDINQ GREENHOUSES.

I should like to get some information
in regard to moving greenhouses. "We
have about 10,000 square feet of glass.
Most of the houses are 15x100, cypress
throughout and from four to eight
years old. Some of the gutter* are
somewhat warped. Would it pay to
use these^ If not, would it be bet-
ter to substitute iron or wooden gut-
ters? We intend to saw an inch or
two otf the ends of the sashbars and
wish to rebuild as economically as pos-
sible.

We have two boilers, yoked, which
are just about right for th». present
glass area. How many feet of glass
can we add if we install a motor-driven
circulator? About what saving in the
cost of the heating pipe would result
from the use of a circulator, as com-
pared with an open gravity system?

Would posts of 4x4 pecky cypress
outlast locust posts? How about a
better grade of cypress for posts? What
is the best wood preservative to use
on the lower ends? Would it be bet-
tet, and would it add to the life of
the posts, to set them -in -concrete?

use them again. If you cut off the enda
of the sashbars they should last nearly
as long as new bars.

While the use of a circulator does
not add to the efficiency of a boiler,
it may by improving the circulation
bring about that result, and at the
same time make it possible to use
smaller pipes in the mains and coils,
or to use a smaller number of pipes
in the coils. Just how much difference
it would make depends entirely upon
the efficiency of the present system, but
it would probably add from ten to
twenty-five per cent.

Either locust or a good grade of
cypress or red cedar should be used
for posts, unless gas pipe posts are
preferred. If the concrete is brought
up well above the surface, so that the
posts will be kept dry, it will add to
their durability, but otherwise it may
hasten their decay. Some of the creo-
sote compounds make good wood pre-
servatives, but care should be taken
about using them too freely in green-
houses.

If the joints can not be started by
means of heat, the pipes can be cut and
united by means of pipe clamps.

The Market.

Many carnations were sold for Moth-
ers' day. Colored flowers moved al-
most as rapidly as white ones. The
Memorial day rush is on and local
florists are looking for a heavy trade,
as usual. Stock is in fine shape for
outdoor planting. Cut flowers are plen-
tiful and of good quality. Harrisii
lilies are in great evidence and form
a large part of the florists' store deco-
rations.

Various Notes.

Eobert L. Birnie and Louise L.
Osterberg were quietly married March
30. Mr. Birnie is a valued employee
of the Baur Floral Co.

Miss Jennie Adams, formerly sales-
lady for the Robb Floral Co., and Fred
Steiner were married recently and have
gone on an extended eastern trip.

Henry Baur, of the Baur Floral Co.,
is making a record for himself in Phila-
delphia. He has been chosen as a
candidate for congress from the second
district on the Democratic ticket. He
graduated from the University of
Pennsylvania two years ago and was
afterward a teacher of oratory at
Swarthmore College. He is a rising
young attorney of Philadelphia, but
still retains his interest in the Baur
Floral Co., of this city.

Chas. G. Offerle has improved the
front of his store with new signs and
a new coat of paint.

J. V. Laver furnished the elaborate

Artsfone Flower Vases

These Artstone Flower Vases do not, like Iron vases,
become 6o hot in midsummer as to burn the plants. Artstone
is indestructible from exposure to the elements, while iron,
angular and grim, soon rusts, and marble gradually discolors
and dtcays. To display flowers in unsightly wooden pails, tin
tuba, or the like, is an incongruous spectacle, which, except in
case of inability to procure suitable receptacles for them, be-
trays the utter absence of artistic taste. Flowers, like gems,
require appropriate settings. The superb artistic beauty of
these creations attracts universal admiration and lends a touch
of quiet elegance, of distinction, of refinement and culture to
the surroundings They serve to enhance the beauty of the
lawn, the porch, the hall or the garden wonderfully. Popular
also for cemetery decoration.

The special nozzles, set in the overhead pipes, spray the water in
a fine mist uniformly all over the plants and ground, just like
a steady, gentle rain.

The most delicate foliage cannot be injured ; the ground
does not cake and crack, but keeps soft and porous,
letting in the air, so essential to rapid plant grovrth.

The Market.

The sale of cut flowers for the week
has been remarkable. Carnations have
been just about equal to the demand,
although more white could have been
used. American Beauties and other
roses are in good supply and the de-
mand is good.

Mothers' day created an extraordi-
nary demand for all kinds of flowers,
surpassing McKinley day. I think that
in the future Mothers' day will be
looked forward to as one of our banner
market days.

Green goods are plentiful.

The Sixth street flower market is
booming. Bedding stock is selling about
as fast as the florists can bring it in.

The supply houses report extra good
sales on wire hanging baskets. ,

Various Notes.

The Florists ' Society is working tooth
and toenail, as the saying is, for the
flower show this fall. Geo. S. Bartlett,
131 East Third street, is distributing
the preliminary schedule. The bowling
club is making preparations for an out-
ing in the near future.

J. Chas. Murphy, one of our pro-
gressive young florists, is building an
additional 250-foot house. About July
1 he will take his brother, Frederick,
into partnership, when we will see a
hustling firm.

Wm. Murphy is handling large quan-
tities of bedding plants for J. A. Pe-
terson.

Visitors of the week: J. Keur, repre-
senting C. Keur & Sons, of Hillegom,
Holland, called on the florists May 13;
also M. Alexander, representing Lion
& Co., New York. G. E. M.

MIIiWAUEEE.

This year's sales of white carnations
for Mothers' day were away ahead of
expectations. While the wholesalers
cleaned up on them as far back as the
previous Wednesday, for shipping or-
ders, it was on Saturday and Sunday
that the local demand for them became
apparent. The observance of the day
has taken hold far more than was ex-
pected, and we trust that the future
will see it as popular here as in any
other city, for it is and will remain a
day well worth our special attention.

I take pleasure In telling you that after haying
tried Aphine according to your directions I have
personally found Aphine better for black aphis
on yiolets and mums than the hydro-cyanide gas,
being less dangerous for the plants as well as for
the operator, and doing the same work with
equal efficiency. I have not tried Fungine
myself, but followed its use day after day at one
of my customers' carnation and rose houses.
The gardener agrees with me, and all the green-
house men, that Fungine is a grand preventive as
well as the best destroyer of mildew and carna-
tion rust, if applied properly. It does all it is
recommended to do. We cannot be without it in
rose houses. T. H. Polbos.

Business was highly satisfactory last
week. The good report comes from all
sides.'- People who waited until the
last minute to get flowers for Mothers'
day were much disappointed. Though
carnations were abundant, the prices on
them held up and many more could
have been "handled to good advantage.
The rose crop was also heavy, but the
trade did not seem to call for roses as
readily as for other stock. Neverthe-
less, when the supply of other stock
was exhausted, they were glad to take
what they could get. Considerable
quantities of double narcissi and jas-
mines were shipped into the city mar-
kets and all were disposed of. Besides,
there was a great deal of funeral work,
which kept the local florists on the'
jump from early morning until late at
night.

Mothers' day here proved to be more
successful than it did a year ago and
the florists are in hopes that next year's
business will more than double this
year 's.

Various Notes.

Olson & Lunden report a fine week.
The many funerals last week helped to
make business brisk. This firm has
given up rose growing and devoted
their houses to carnations and bulbous
stock. They intend buying their roses
of the wholesale growers in the future.

E. C. Blatchley, of Meriden, was a
visitor at Milldale last week, making
the trip in his new automobile.

Curtis the Florist reports a fine
sjuring trade, with a good increase in
business during the last few weeks.

Cambridge, Mass. — Howard's Flower
Shop, conducted by Frank Howard at
18 Boylston street, is regarded as one
of the handsomest places of its kind
in Harvard Square. The fixtures and
the stock are first-class in both quality
and arrangement. The business was es-
tablished in 1903. Five clerks are now
employed.

FURNISHED in continuous lengths of 560 feet.
An exceptionally high grade hose manufactured
with a woven jacket insertion instead of cotton
duck, and with specially selected rubbei^in the inner
tube and cover.'^

The woven jacket construction makes a stronger
hose than can be obtained from cotton duck, and [
absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening
at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on
cotton duck. "This constmction also gives a more
flexible hose and reduces the possibility of kinking. '
"Magic" Hose is guaranteed to stand a pressure
of 500 pounds per square inch, although its bursting ^
pressure is far in excess of this.

The Market.

Flowers are not scarce in this city;
everything both inside and out is in
bloom.

Mothers' day was all that could be
expected of it, as it took all the white
carnations and almost everything else.
If this day is kept up it will be one of
the big days in the year, as, in fact, it
was this year.

The continued warm weather is caus-
ing many to take a chance and bed-
ding plants are going out in many
places, which will help the plantsmen
a little.

The wholesalers say that until a lot
of these outside flowers are gone it
will be an act of charity not to ask
too many questions about business.

T. P. Langhans has moved to his
summer home at Allison Park.

Hoo-Hoo.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

Trade was rather dull last week, al-
though funeral work has been fairly
plentiful. The carnation supply has
shortened up somewhat and they are
bringing from 50 to 60 cents per dozen,
while roses go for $1.50, with a few at
$1 per dozen. Snapdragons in pink and
white are good at 75 cents per dozen,
and sweet peas sell at $1 per hundred.
Indoor bulb stock is nearly all gone;
what is left retails at 50 cents per
dozen.

Pansies, daisies and forget-me-nots
are in full bloom and the prices vary
from 25 to 50 cents per dozen. We
are having quite warm weather and all
the growers expect to have their ten
weeks' stocks ready for Memorial day.

There will be a good supply of
geraniums and other bedding plants,
and orders are now coming in large
numbers. Sweet alyssum helps out, as
garden work is in full swing.

Great interest is being shown in tree
planting and the home garden contest,
and results should show a big improve-
ment over last year.

All the uptown stores have nice win-
dow displays. W. L.

The Weekly Florists* Review:

Uat 18, 1911.

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

The particular feature of last week
was the heat. It was certainly a case
of "good old summer time." Every-
thing outdoors took a start that was
marvelous and stock shot ahead so
rapidly that you could almost see it
grow. Business was normal, with some
funeral work. Arbor day. May 12,
gave a slight impetus for flowers, but
not sufficient to cause any special
flurry. Everything and everybody is
ready for Memorial day and it is evi-
dent from early orders that the de-
mand for small and medium pots of
plants will be in excess of any previous
year.

Mothers ' day received more atten-
tion than it has ever done before and
the wearing of carnations was quite
general. Many of the retail florists,
who as a rule are slow to take advan-
tage of special days and accelerate
(trade by advertising, had cards -in
their windows and special decorations
calling attention to the event, with
the result that much stock was moved.

One of the largest department stores

Surchased 10,000 carnations for free
istribution on Saturday and this
added to the attention drawn to the
day.

Various Notes.

John F. Wood had a narrow escape
from fire a few days ago. A blaze in
the basement smoked his place con-
siderably, but fortunately did little
damage.

Joseph Kopelman was a visitor to
Boston several times last week.

S. J. Eeuter & Son, Inc., of Westerly,
have purchased a Thomas touring car.

The Burke Eose Co. recently shipped
several large pieces to Springfield,
Mass., on special orders.

Charles Carr, of the Cedar Park
farm, Somerset, is shipping a large
number of strawberry plants by mail
and express.

The Eiverside Greenhouses, of Har-
risville, furnished the decorations for
the recent Odd Fellow anniversary
services at the Universalist church in
that village.

John Cirwein, who has been with
Conrad Schultz, of Elm street. West-
erly, for the last three years, has sev-
ered his connection with that firm and
is about to enter into business for
himself at Wakefield, where he will
build a range of modern greenhouses
that will cover 10,000 square feet of
land and will be in running order by
October 1. He will grow for both the
retail and wholesale trade.

The several firms of this city who
are engaged in the seed business report
an unusually active demand last week,
largely from small buyers. One con-
cern states that more than 1,000 pur-
chasers were waited on Saturday after-
noon. W. H. M.

His Neighbor Had a U-Bar House,
so He Built This One

0ND that's the way it goes! Of course, it would be laying it
on pretty thick to say a U-Bar house sells itself, but it is a
fact that a goodly lot of our business each year comes
through U-Bar owners tooting our horns for us. As one man
put it: " Why, just look at the house and you can see how 'way
ahead of other curved-eave houses it is ! " And the beauty of
it is, you can see it. It's self-explanatory.

Send for a U-Bar catalogue, which shows things more than
it tells things.

August U. 1909.

The Standard Pump & Engine Co.. Cleveland. Ohio.

Gentlemen : Last fall I put in a pump and engine and your man was here and told me that I wouldn't be satisfied with it. I wish I had
taken his advice, as it is all worn out now and I have always had trouble with it. Now I wish to put in one of yours.

THEN WE GOT HIS ORDER FOR A STANDARD

Part of a second letter, six months later : ' .

I think that you have the best machine on the market. It has never given us a minute's trouble since we have had it, and never refused
to run. J. J. Beck, New Castle, Pa.

If he had bought a Standard in the first place, he would have saved the cost of the cheap machine, saved the money
and the time he tpent in having that machine tinkered, and would have had better stock that year, because of better

watering. You who read this should profit by his experience and buy a Standard now.
Ask the " Standard" to recommend a suitable pumping e

pumping engine for your use.

CO-OPERATIVE PUBLICITY.

Does advertising pay? Ask any flo-
rist in Cleveland and the answer will
be in the affirmative. The plan of co-
operative advertising had its first try-
out recently in preparation for Moth-
ers' day and it is the consensus of opin-
ion that it was a howling success.

Signs and placards were printed ad-
vertising Mothers' day and these were
spread broadcast throughout the city.
Delivery wagons of every description
bore one of the cloth signs reading:
''Remember Mothers' day, May 14.
Wear a flower in her honor." In many
of the store windows, other than those
of florists, were cards inscribed with
the words: "Mothers' day, Sunday,
May 14. As a token of love for her,
wear some flower on this national
day." Other cards read: "Flowers for
mother. Don't fail to send some floral
remembrance to mother for Mothers'
day, Sunday, May 14."

Needless to say, there were not half
enough white carnations and other
stock was also short of the demand.
Every store in town was completely
cleared of stock by Sunday noon and
everybody was satisfied. In the third
year of its existence, Mothers' day is
already one of the big days of the year.

Does it pay to advertise?

Much praise is due the members of
the advertising committee, Tim Smith,
John Kirchner, Chas. Russell, C. B.
Wilhelmy and Wm. A. Bramley, for
their excellent work and their judicious
expenditure of the "ad fund."

C. D. Fell.

CARDS IN THE CARS.

Street car cards are a means of gen-
eral publicity; it is not reasonable to
expect from them the direct response
that one gets from an .advertisement
in the leading daily paper, but cards
in the cars nevertheless have place in
any plan for the exploitation of a re-
tail store. They are as useful to the
local florists as to the national adver-
tisers, though the latter are the ones
who use most of this kind of space.

At Kansas City the Alpha Floral Co.
uses the street cars to bring out the
phone number, emphasizing the fact
that although Kansas City is one of the
towns that is so unfortunate as to have
two telephone systems, Alpha's num-
ber in both systems is the same, 1806.
The accompanying illustration shows
how it is done: Of course, in a town
of such size each telephone system is
operated through a number of ex-
changes. Therefore, while the subscriber
can get the same number in each sys-
tem, he has two different exchange pre-
fixes. By having one number in two
different exchanges the confusion is
reduced only one-half, so the Alpha
Floral Co., instead of trying to teach
the public to call for Grand 1-8-0-6
when using the Bell phone, and Main
1-8-0-6 when using the Home system,
simply has dropped the exchange names

in these street car cards, trusting to
the operator at central to get the right
exchange for the party calling.

Mr. Elberfield thinks the card re-
produced is one of the best he has used.

The sketch was made up for three
Colors, but only two colors were used.
The cost of a space 11x22 inches is 50
cents per month for each car. "We
have been advertising in street cars for
five years," says he, "and it is like
all other advertising; it does not pay
to get in for a few months, but every
year adds greater value to it. It has
in time its accumulative effect. In
street cars I would advise change of
copy at least four times a year. ' '

Referring to the preparation of the
copy. "The come-back orders are what
count, and duplicate orders. Note that
the first paragraph speaks about du-
plicating the order, and that the re-
cipient was pleased and delighted. We
carry out our name by a regular stand-
ard of type that is used in every adv.;
also a few words regarding floral de-
signs, which are always a florist's main-

conclude that it is the most delightful
and fascinating branch of the floral
art.

Somebody will remark about this
time, "But I don't know how to go
about it, how to figure on it, how to
plan, etc." Well, in the first place you
must look over the home thoroughly.
Suppose it is an informal home wed-
ding. "Size up" the rooms, their re-
lation to the ceremony room, their gen-
eral dimensions; height of ceiling; color
of walls and woodwork; the number of
doorways and their size; whether it is
a light or dark house, generally speak-
ing; figured or plain walls; amount of
window space; kind of window drap-
eries; the hall and stairway, whether
opposite the entrance; whether the
stairway presents a broadside or up-
stair view; style of balustrade; width
of stairs; special features of each room
and their location, as mantels, mirrors,
seats, etc.; the view from one room to
another, whether extended or ob-
structed; size and shape of dining table
to be used; distance between table and
chandelier; whether chandelier fs in the
center of the room, etc.

Then there are questions which you
must ask, as to where the ceremony is
to be performed, the number of guests,
the path of the bridal party, style and
time of ceremony, the kind of dining
service, whether a color scheme has
been chosen, and whether there is to be
a musicians' corner.

The Decoration as a Whole.

stay, or should be. A line or two is

which is essential to success."

PLANNING THE DECORATION.

Making the Right Start.

While perfectly at home with any
kind of store work and proficient in
funeral designing, many persons hesi-
tate to .undertake decorative work,
dreading that they may find themselves
in an unknown country without a guide.
The necessity of completing the work
on time, the self-consciousness that
comes from having an audience, as one
usually has, the fear that results may
not be altogether satisfactory, the want
of adaptation to new surroundings —
all these considerations combine to
keep many shy of these jobs. Yet, if
they will plunge in they will eventually

and questions may not appear at first
thought, so we may as well take them
in order, with some remarks. First,
then, the relation of the rooms. Could
one decorative design, such as a wall
festoon, be extended from one room to
another? This depends upon their rela-
tive size and arrangement, similarity of
color, whether partitions are half or
entire, etc. If the rooms are rather
small, do not recommend palms, for
they would occupy too much space.
Where the rooms are to be quite well
filled with guests, doorway draperies
are usually removed. If the ceilings
are low, plan for straight lines up and
down, such as posts or columns, whose
decoration does not touch the ceiling.
If the walls and woodwork are light,
you may use plenty of green with dark
flowers. If they are dark, you may
know that the green used will be large-

ly lost and that light flowers should
prevail.

The number of doorways has much
to do with any wall festooning which
you may have in mind. If the room is
much cut into in this way, do not at-
tempt this plan, but use up and down
panel effects. Double doorways or
arches of about the same width take
from one-half dozen to one dozen
strings of smilax for both sides.

If the general look of the whole in-
terior is dark, it might be well to in-
troduce new backgrounds, such as light
screens or silk draperies in places.
Walls which are decorated with bold
figures are ns good as prohibitory for
your plans for decorations. Keep away
from them or cover them with new
backgrounds.

Often you find a living-room in which
one whole side or end consists of win-
dows and is consequently a wide ex-
panse of lace or silk drapery. Here
is a place for smilax strings separated
into their finest vines, hanging in
straight festoons apparently from the
ceiling down, but in reality from a light
framework erected over the top of the
windows like a false ceiling. Let this
be several feet deep, according to the
size of the room.

The Hall and Stairway.

Is the stairway opposite or in sight
from the front entrance? If so, seize

as a center and festooning the balus-
trade more or less elaborately. If the
stairway and hall are dark, garlands
of light flowers may carry out the same
design. Many times these may be a
light latticework of green made from
the space above the balustrade to the
landing above. A broadside view of
the staircase will afford a better foun-
dation for a decorative plan than an
upstair view. A massive newel post is
also a good starting point for a group
of decorative lines.

The style of balustrade determines
whether or not it will serve as a fas-
tening place for decorative material.
If open, well and good; if solid, of
carved wood or other material, do not
deface it by tacks or nails. Always
leave the hand rail untouched. The
width of the stairs determines whether
you shall venture with any potted
plants to mark its ascent. As a rule,
they are better off than on.

The Mantel.

The special features of each room
and their position with reference to
each other should be accurately noted.
Observe the mantel; its style, size,
number of shelves; what is above it on
the wall, whether mirror, picture or
carved panels; length and width of
shelf inside of columns or carvings. In
case a large picture is over the mantel,
you cannot plan for any elaborate

^Treath Made by the Jones-Russell G>., Cleveland, Ohio.

upon that as one of the most important
points. Plan for a hanging feature
which has connecting lines with the
balustrade above and below. You could
suggest a number of plans, such as a
hanging basket with draperies of smilax
or asparagus starting from the basket

decorative piece that would hide the
picture. See whether a doorway ia
close enough to the mantel to connect
the two in one set of lines.

The dining room is one of the im-
portant places. Here you must depend
upon your questions as to time and

manner of serving, the style of service,
the size of the table or tables; the
bride's table, its distinction from the
others; favors or no favors, etc. If it
is to be a reception taljle, then a high
centerpiece of long, spreading lines will
be needed, with your decorative ac-
cents centered above the table. If it is
to be a wedding breakfast or dinner,
your centerpiece must be confined to
delicate, creeping lines and your group-
ing must be such as will be pleasant to
look down upon rather than through
and under, as in the case of the recep-
tion table. G. B.

A PLEA FOR FATHERS' DAY.

We have just celebrated Mothers'
day — the second Sunday in May — and
a grand success it was in every respect
— except, of course, where some grow-
ers sent in pickled stock and caused
disappointments. Mothers' day has
come to remain with us forever and
grow in public favor all the time. That
is right, but how about Fathers' day?
It was casually mentioned last year
in the columns of The Review, but
there it ended.

Now, as no one else has designated a
date and a flower for Fathers' day, let
me suggest both and give my reasons
for so doing. Then, if any one else has
a better idea, let it be ado^jted. Many
of us hold the memory of father even
dearer than that of mother, and most
of us remember him with equal love
and reverence, so why have a Mothers'
day and not a Fathers' day?

The flower I would suggest is the
chrysanthemum, because it is a strong,
lasting flower. It is beautiful and most
people love its fragrance. It reminds
one of the strong, hardy, enduring qual-
ities of a father; frosty, perhaps, but
sturdy and true. And, last but by no
means least, it can be grown anywhere,
by anyone; every child can be inde-
pendent and grow his own flowers for
Fathers' day. Those who want the
fine greenhouse kinds can buy them, but
if they will satisfy themselves with a
smaller specimen, they can buy a few
plants and grow them for themselves,
either in the garden or in pots.

The day I would suggest is the second
Sunday in November. The early vari-
eties of chrysanthemums would be in
flower by that time and that is the
proper kind for people to grow who
have no greenhouses. The celebration
would occur just six months from
Mothers ' day, giving the grown-up chil-
dren another nice excuse to come tumb-
ling home, and to eat the good things
bought by that dear father and pre-
pared by that dear mother. They
would bring great bunches of father's
flowers with them, with which to deck
the rooms and table. After supper the
men would sit by the fire and smoke
till train time, when they would assist
the wife and children into their wraps.
Then, each one wearing a chrysanthe-
mum, they would leave for home, con-
scious of having given and received
great enjoyment.

Yes, let us have Fathers' day, by all
means. Will some other reader or
readers second my nominations or make
other suggestions?

Mrs. L. M. Smith.

Elmhurst, 111. — A new carnation
range is being built here for Geo, H.
Rabe and a Kroeschell boiler and
threaded tube piping system will be
used for heating.

BEDDING OUT.

It Monopolizes Attention.

At present the sale of bedding plants
and bedding out will occupy a good
deal of the time of the average coun-
try florist. There are many who want
tbeir beds planted before Memorial day,
also cemetery lots, vases and window
boxes filled. All this means a lot
oi labor and it is often necessary to
hire some extra help to tide over the
rush season. Experienced help cannot
usually be had for a few days and
weeks, and we must perforce make
the best of what is obtainable. With
unusually warm weather, the green-
bouses need much attention, and neces-
sary work, such as syringing and wat-
ering, cannot be neglected, so be sure
t) leave one responsible person in
ciiarge.

Much bedding out is already done,
but in the more northerly states, where
killing frosts often occur in late May
and early June, it is unwise to rush it.
Some subjects, such as geraniums, if
well hardened do not mind a light
freezing, but it is quite otherwise with
coleus, alternantheras, acalyphas, cro-
tons and other plants, from which the
leaves will be taken by a light freeze,
and even if actual freezing -is not
reached, the plants get a chilling, from
which they are slow in recovering. Set
out the hardier subjects first and leave
sub-tropical plants until the last.

Watering the Beds.

The rainfall over a large area of the
country has been deficient for many
months and soil will, in too many cases,
be found dry. There is the greater
need, then, to be sure that the balls
of all plants are really moist when
set out, and if the beds are to be
watered, do it thoroughly, stirring the
surface soil well on the following day.
Do not advise your customers to play
the hose on the beds every evening.
It usually moistens and bakes the sur-
face soil. One good watering a week,
followed by a tickling of the surface
soil, will do vastly more good than a
week's dribblings, such as are generally
meted out to bedding plants. Gerani-
ums especially do not need a lot of
water when in beds, any more than
they require a lot of manure in the soil.
Each tends to create a rank, soft
growth at the expense of flowers.
Probably you have noticed how ge-
raniums flower late in the summer, when
rainfall is light and the plants have
used up most of the manurial agency
in the soil. Young plants do not want
to be grown dust-dry, but they should
not be treated like semi-aquatics. If
water must be given, let it be to such
subjects as cannas, which will quite
appreciate it.

Betain Good Stock Plants.

It is easy when a rush of bedding-
out orders comes in to forget one's
self, and it is a good plan to reserve a
sufficient number of plants of each ge-
ranium for stock. Plant these but in
beds or nursery rows and then they
will not be sold. Be sure to label all
correctly. It always pays to make the
entrance to any commercial place at-
tractive. Nice flowering shrubs, a few
choice evergreens and a bed or border
or two of cannas, geraniums, verbenas,
petunias or any other bedding plants
give a charm to a place, and their
cost is always repaid many times over

by the purchases of customers, who,
but for your nice approach, would, in
all probability, go elsewhere. The flo-
rist's place is too often anything but
a thing of beauty, and photos of es-
tablishments in The Review, showing
work accomplished along this line,
should prove stimulating and act as a
lever to many who are still content to
travel along in the same old way.

As inroads on the plants increase,
spend a little time in getting those
remaining stood together in batches.
It economizes on the watering, and the
place looks the better for it. Then,
again, do not throw the empty pots
here, there and everywhere, but when
you have a few spare moments have
them carried to your pot racks and
stored away in correct sizes.

CABBYING OVEB PIiANTS.

We have left on hand a number of

you kindly tell us how to treat them

Or is it worth while to do so? C.

In fact, so large have I had these
clumps that I have found it necessary
to cut them in two or three pieces with
a sharp spade, in order to make them
fit 7-inch pots. If you have good soil,

A PLEA FOR FATHERS' DAY.

We have just celebrated INIothcrs'
day — the second Sunday in May — and
a grand success it was in every respect
— except, of course, where some grow-
ers sent in pickled stock and caused
disappointments. Mothers' day has
come to remain with us forever and
grow in public favor all the time. That
is right, but how about Fathers' day?
It was casually mentioned last year
in the columns of The Eeview, but
there it ended.

Now, as no one else ha'S designated a
date and a ilower for Fathers' day, let
nie suggest both and give my reasons
for so doing. Then, if any one else has
a better idea, let it be ado^ ted. Many
of us hold the memory of father even
dearer than that of mother, and most
of us remember him with equal love
and reverence, so wdiy have a Mothers'
day and not a Fathers' day?

The Ilower I Avonld ■suggest is the
chrysanthemum, liecause it is a strong,
lasting tlovvo''. It is beautiful and most
jieople love its fragrance. It reminds
one of the strong, hardy, enduring qual-
ities of a father; frosty, perhaps, but
sturily and true. And, last but by no
means least, it can be grown anywhere,
by anyone; (ivery child can be inde-
pendent and grow his own llowers for
fathers' day. Those who want the
tine greenhouse kinds can buy them, bnt
if they will satisfy themselves with a
smaller specimen, they can buy a few
plants and grow them for themselves,
either in the garden or in pot's.

The day I would suggest is the second
Sunday in November. The early vari-
eties of chrysanthemums would be in
Ilower by tliat time and that is the
projier kind for people to grow who
have no greenhouses. The celebration
would occur just six months from
Mothers' day, giving the grown-up chil-
dren another nice excuse to come tumb-
ling hom(>, and to eat the good things
honght by that dear father and ]ire-
l^ared by that dear mother. They
would bring great bunches of father's
tlowers with them, with which to deck
the rooms and table. After supper the
men would sit by the fire and smoke
till train tini". when they would assist
the wife and children into their wraps.
Then, each (;ne wearing a chrysanthe-
mum, they would leave for home, con-
scious of having given and received
gi'eat enjoyment.

Yes, let n-i have Fathers' day, by all
means. Will 'some other reader or
readers second my nominations or make
other suggestions?

BEDDING OUT.

It Monopolizes Attention.

Vt present the sale of bedding plants
11, I beddiiiy out will oecu2)y a f,rood
,1, .1 of the time of the averayo couii-
ir llorist. There are many who want
tl ir beds planted before Memorial dav
, 0 cemetery lots, vases and window
i XL'S tilled. All this means a lot
labor and it is often necessary to
re some extra help to tide over the
■ h season. Experienced help cannot
jally be had for a few days and
, eks, and we must perforce make
. !• best of what is obtainable. With
usually warm weather, the green-
uses need much attention, and neres-
ly work, such as syringing and wat-
iug, cannot be neglected, so be sure
leave one responsible person in
large.

Much bedding out is already done,
lit in the more northerly states, where
illing frosts often occur in late May
)id early June, it is unwise to rush it.
■>onie subjects, such as geraniums, if
\ell hardened do not mind a light
leezing, but it is quite otherwise with
oleus, alternantheras, acalyjdias, cro-
ons and other plants, from whiidi tiic
oaves will be taken by a light freeze,
md even if actual freezing -is not
cached, the plants get a chilling, from
vliich they are slow in recovering. Set
lut the hardier sul)jccts tirst and leave
ubtroi)ical plants until the last.

Watering the Beds.

The rainfall over a largo area of the
ountry has been deficient for many
iionths and soil will, in too many cases,
>e found dry. There is the greater
leed, then, to be sure that the balls
f all plants arc really moist when
et out, and if the beds are to be
watered, do it thoroughly, stirring the
urface soil well on the following day.
'o not advise your customers to phiy
lie hose on the beds every evening.
t usually moistens and bakes the sur-
ace soil. One good watering a week,
ollowed by a tickling of the surface
oil, will do vastly mure good than a
week's (iribl)lings, such as are generally
leted out to be(lding plants. Gerani-
ms especially do not need a lot of
>ater when in beds, any more than
hey require a lot of manure in the soil,
^ach tends to create a rank, soft
rowth at the expense of llowers.
'robably you have noticed how ge-
miums llower late in the summer, when
ainfall is light and the plants have
sed up most of the manurial agency
Q the soil. Young plants do not want
0 be grown dust-dry, but th(>y sliouM
ot be treated like semi-aquatics. If
.•ater must be given, let it be to such
ubjects as canuas, wliich Avill quite
ppreciate it.

Retain Good Stock Plants.

It is easy wIumi a rush of Itediling-
ut orders comes in to forget one's
elf, and it is a good plan to reserve a
ufiicient number of plants of each ge-
anium for stock. I'lant these out in

boice evergreens and a bed or border

EIIiliABNEY SPORTS.

I have Killarney rose plants three
years old on their own roots. They al-
ways haye had the usual type of bloom
until this winter, when on one plant
a long shoot came out from the main
stalk about two inches from the ground
and had three heavy buds. These
opened into full, double and large pink
roses and now it is in bloom again.
The roses on that shoot are large, point-
ed buds and the roses on the rest
of the plant are the common straight
buds, half-single Killarney. Is that
what you call a sport? Is it the double
Killarney now on the market! How
can I get a large stock of the double
rose? The shoot is about three feet
high. I do my own rooting from cut-
tings, also graft. E. E. P.

This is undoubtedly a sport. There
are several double pink Killarneys of
varying shades of color. The double
pink being offered is identical in color
with the old Killarney, the type which
yours probably is. Propagation of
sports is not always a complete success,
as these have a tendency to revert.
You can root cuttings, but grafting
would be an excellent way to increase
your stock. The present, however, is
iaot the best season for this work.

GBOWEB AND COMMISSION MAN.
Pretty nearly everyone who attends
the conventions of the trade societies
knows William J. Badgley, shown in
the accompanying illustration as stand-
ing in one of his houses of Killarney
at Madison, N. J. Mr. Badgley is one
of the men who makes acquaintances
easily, for he is the soul of good fel-
lowship. In addition to being a rose
grower at Madison, Mr. Badgley is in-
terested in the wholesale business in

PANSIES FOR CHRISTMAS.

At what time should pansy seed be
planted to have flowers as early as pos-
sible, say by Christmas, in greenhouses?
I live in Pennsylvania. H. K. H.

Sow the seed the first week in July.
If outdoors, it will require watering,
and a lath shade raised over it a foot
or so will give necessary shade. A cold-
frame is also a suitable place in which
to sow the seed. As the weather is in-
tensely hot, as a rule, early in July, <io
not neglect the shade and watering. A

month later in your latitude would
answer for plants needed for spring
sales. C. W.

CUT WORMS AND SOW BUGS.

The average cut flower grower knows
the good things of this world — none of
the simple life for him; he sets his ta-
ble with all of the season's delicacies.
Why, then, should he expect cut worms
to accept a diet of bran in preference
to succulent young growths? As a mat-
ter of fact, bran is a failure as a lure
for any pest one seeks to poison.

Corn meal is what should be used to
entice the cut worms, according to the
experience of Frank Felke, whose place
at Wilmette, 111., now is free from this
pest. It was not always so; while Mr.
Felke used bran in his poison mash his
stock was devastated. Carnations,
mums, pansies — indeed, about everj'thing
he grew — seemed to appeal to the palate
of the destroyer more potently than
did the prepared food. Watching his
colony of unwelcome boarders steadily
increase, Mr. Felke concluded to set a
better table for them, so he tried poi-
soning corn meal. The destruction was
wonderful. Never since then has he
had a visitation of cut worms but that
he promptly got the upper hand.

"Use corn meal, mix with it Paris
green, just enough to color; at night-
fall scatter among the infested plants;
don't water for six or eight hours be-
fore or after and vou will have no

further trouble from cut worms," ho
says.

Rye flour is a delicacy much relished
by sow bugs, sometimes called wood
lice; according to Mr. Felke, the little
pigs will gorge themselves with it, if it
has been sweetened to their taste, and
roll up and die of the poison also in-
eluded. He uses two parts rye flour,
two parts sugar and one part Paris
green, mixing only so much as is to be
used at one time, as it deteriorates if
it stands any length of time. The mix-
ture is scattered along the top of the
edge-board of the bench in the evening,
being careful to see that the board is
dry, else the mixture will become
lumpy and unpalatable to even the most
voracious of piggy bugs. "Try it,"
says Mr. Felke, "and you will be sur-
prised to find how many it will kill;
you wouldn't have believed there were
that many on your place."

THE WATER GARDEN.

Interest Is Increasing.

The hardier nymphaeas are now grow-
ing quite a little, and as the water in
tanks, ponds and lakes has become quite
warm, any of the more tender aquatics
can now be set out.

Water lilies are a .. eautiful feature
on any place and it is pleasing to
note the increased interest being taken
in them. There is something fascinat-
ing, refreshing and satisfying about
even small pools of water in the warm
months and these are full of interest
when planted with suitable aquatics.
All aquatics want full sunshine and
meadow muck two-thirds and cow ma-
nure one-third, or good pasture loam
and cow manure makes an excellent
compost. Deep water is not advisable
for successful nymphsea culture. Even
the vigorous nelumbiums do better
when they have not over a foot of
water above their crowns while in
active growth.

Providing the Place.

For those who have no ponds, a com-
mon plan is to use half barrels sunk in
the ground. These answer well for

the smaller nyniphajas, such as lucida,
Marliacea, chroniatella, pygmsa, Aurora
and some of the Zanzibariensis varie-
ties, also for such aquatics as Eich-
hornia erassipes major, Limnanthemum
Indicum, sagittarias, scirpus and Acorus
.(aponicus variegatus.

If ponds are at command containing
a good natural bed of muck, no further
compost is necessary. In places, how-
ever, without it, boxes three to four
feet square and eighteen inches deep
«an be used. Dormant bulbs must not
be planted deep. At first it is best
to place them in pots, merely covering
with water until they have made a leaf
or two. Then gradually increase the
<lepth, but never to exceed twelve
inches. All locations for aquatics, es-
pecially nymphaeas, should be still.
Even playing fountains, pretty as they
are, agitate the water too much for
them. Nelumbiums like a greater depth
of mud than nympha;as and a shallower
covering of water. They do not look
well planted together, as the nelum-
biums will soon overrun everything,
being so much more vigorous in growth.

Some Oood Varieties.

The following list includes some of
the best hardy nympha;as: Marliaccas
carnea, chromatella, rosea and albida,
Laydekeri purpurata, odorata, odorata
rosea, known as the Cape Cod pink
pond lily; odorata sulphurea, tuberosa
and tuberosa rosea. A select list of
tender varieties should include the fol-
lowing day bloomers: Zanzibariensis
azurea and rosea, Capensis, Capensis

ca'rulea, pulcherrima, Pennsylvania and
William Stone. Among night bloomers
in the tender section are: Dentata and
its varieties, magnifica and superba;
rubra, Sturtevantii, Frank Trelease,
Deaniana, rubra rosea and O'Marana.
Among the nelumbiums the following
lialf-dozen will be found distinct and
fine: Luteuni, Pekinensis rubrum, spe-
ciosum, Kermesinum, album striatum
and the superb Shiroman.

In the way of miscellaneous a(juatii's
there are a large number at command,
of which these are a few of the best:
Limnanthemum Indicum, the water
snowflake; Cyperus Papyrus, Aponoge-
ton distachyum, Acorus Japonicus varie-
gatus, Sagittaria Montevidensis, the
giant arrowhead; Scirpus Taberna}mon-
tani Zebrina, Zizania aquatica, the wild
rice; Typha latifolia, the cat tail; Pis-
tia Stratiotes, the water lettuce, and
Limnocharis Humboldtii, the water
poppy.

FREESIA PURITY.

Purity is unquestionably the finest of
all freesias and is eagerly bought in
the flower markets in all parts of the
country. The plants illustrated were
grown by William Nicholson, Framing-
ham, Mass., well known as a leading
carnationist, and are in 10-inch pans.
A 24-inch rule is seen standing along-
side one pan, the plants in which are
twenty-eight inches in height from the
top of the pan. Freesias auch as these
have commanded a fancy price in the
Boston market, the first being cut the
week before Christmas. Unlike some

growers, Mr. Nicliolson believes in
planting the bulbs quite thickly and
finds he gets excellent results from
growing fifty bulbs in a 10-inch pan,
the spikes being just as good as when
half that number are grown.

The bulbs, after planting, are stood
in coldframes and left there until early
mums or other crops are out of the
way. They are then given shelves well
up to the light. In a cool house, kept
around 45 degrees, the flowers are finer
and possess greater substance than
when grown warmer. A great mistake
is still made by many in freesia cul-
ture in placing the bulbs in heat at
once after planting. They should be
grown as cool as possible in the earlier
stages. Freesias with stems such as
Mr. Nicholson 's can be arranged mag-
nificently in vases, being preferred by
many critical buyers to both roses and
carnations. The bulbs from which these
fine freesias were grown came from
William M. Matthews, Great Neck, L.
I., a grower for Stumpp & Walter Co.

STEM-ROT OF CENTAUREAS.

Will you kindly state what is the
cause of stem-rot of centaureas and
what is the best treatment for it?

C. E. Y.

The greatest remedy for all these
stem-rots and other fungous diseases is
lime and the various lime preparations.
Apply dry-slaked lime to the soil by'
dusting it around the plants and scratch
the surface of the soil slightly. Spray-
ing the plants with Bordeaux mixture
will also help to destroy the fungus.

them where you cannot reach them
with the hose.

Allajnanda Williamsii.

AUamanda Williamsii is one of the
most valuable of summer-flowering pot
plants. With the rush of the bedding-
out season and Memorial day they are
liable to be neglected. If they have
been somewhat crowded, now that space
is more abundant, spread them out and,
where necessary, give them one or two
short stakes.

If you are short of allamandas, they
are easily propagated from soft-wood
cuttings at this season. Given a close,
moist house and necessary shade and
water, they will root within a month.
The climbing varieties usually grown,
such as grandiflora and Hendersoni,
are valuable in summer also. The
flowers are fine for table decoration.
Old plants which were rested, pruned
back and are now growing vigorously
may need a little tying in. They are
gross feeders and a mulch of good cow
manure and liquid stimulants twice a
week will materially improve them.

Foinsettias.

The old stock plants of poinsettias
started two or three weeks ago are now
giving an abundance of cuttings. These
root most easily when rubbed off with
a heel. Do not allow them to lie around
and wilt before placing them in sand.
It has been found an excellent plan
to throw them into a tank of cold water
for a few hours before putting them
in the sand. Keep them well watered
and never let the sun shine on them
until they are rooted; also, trim off
the leaves quite closely before they go
into the cutting bench.
Gardenias.

How about the young stock of gar-
denias? Have you propagated a suffi-
cient number? It is not too late to
root a good batch. Eequirements are
a warm, stuffy house and lots of mois-
ture. A small frame placed in one of
the houses, which can be kept shaded
and quite close for a few days, except
for a little tilt to prevent excessive
condensation, will answer well for root-
ing gardenias in. You can hardly run
them too hot if they have shade and
lots of moisture. The leaves should be
kept constantly damp and given a high
temperature. About every cutting
should be rooted within a month and
these can be grown along and will
make nice stock in 5-inch pots for win-
ter flowering.

Early in June is a good time to
plant out gardenias. They do not need
a great depth of soil; four and one-
half to five inches will suffice. Do not
on any consideration use fine compost.
Shake out all the finer particles and
let it be somewhat rough, so that water
will pass through it rather quickly.
Any compost inclined to be pasty, on
which water will stand or pass through
sluggishly, is not suitable for gardenia
culture, it will speedily produce the

yellows. Fibrous loam three parts, old
well decayed cow manure one part,
with the addition of a little soot and
some lump charcoal, has been found
excellent for gardenia culture. A suit-
able distance for early planted stock
is 18x24 inches. If set out in July,
12 X 18 will answer well. Make a little
saucer around each plant for water and
do not soak the whole bed in the early
stages of growth. Syringe once or
twice a day, using a spray nozzle, and
mealy bug, scale and aphis will not
trouble at all.

Left-over Azaleas.

It pays to carry over any unsold
plants of azaleas, as they usually flower
earlier and more heavily the following
season if given rational treatment.
They can be kept in pots and well
plunged or planted directly out in the
open ground. Shade is not necessary;
in fact, the plants grow better and set
more flower buds when given the full
sun. Be sure the balls are moist when
planting out and tramp the soil firmly
about the roots. Soil to which some
old manure and a good quantity of
leaf -mold have been added, is ideal for
azaleas, but they will grow well in
any ordinary loam, provided they can
be kept well syringed all summer, and
to prevent excessive drying out a
mulch of old hotbed manure, mushroom
manure, or any other well decayed ma-
nure can be given. In addition to
azaleas, such plants as camellias, ericas.
Daphne Indica and epacris can be sim-
ilarly treated. Do not, however, plant

THE MUEPHY BUILDINO.

The business of William Murphy, of
Cincinnati, has grown so satisfactorily
that a few weeks ago he was able to
move into a building of four floors and
basement, which he occupies exclu-
sively. There are a great many fea-
tures of the flower business that make
it a decided advantage to have one's
own building. There are no instances
of complaint because of the fragrance
of the flowers, but many a florist's fel-
low tenants have failed to approve of
the proximity of the fertilizers. Also,
strange as it may seem, the tenants on
the floor below do not seem to like to
have the wholesaler upset his buckets
of water. These are among the little
vexations that are escaped when the
florist has the property to himself. Mr.
Murphy has installed a cut flower de-
partment on the street floor. The
offices and florists' supply department
are on the second floor. The third floor
is used for sphagnum and green moss,
with other articles of similar nature.
The fourth floor is occupied by the wire
work department. In the basement are
the fertilizers, bulbs, and other heavy
articles.

Minneapolis, Minn. — Fred Folden has
purchased the business of H. Barsch,
at 1501 Sixth avenue north.

Alvin, Tex. — T. C. Edwards, manager
of the Edwards Fruit Co., shipper of
jasmine buds, says the crop this sea-
son was the shortest in several years
and there have been more orders than

Toronto, Ont. — Geo. M. Geraghty, of
John H. Dunlop's, has purchased an
island of seventeen acres in Georgian
Bay. Mr. Geraghty was formerly con-
nected with the trade in Denver and
later in New York city. Let none of
his wide circle of friends envy him,
though his new property is said to be
an ideal place for restful outings.

THE USE OF OLD SOIL.

According to N. Greivelding's method
of handling his carnation soil, as de-
scribed in The Eeview of May 4, page
15, he uses the same soil for as long
a period as five years. "Would you ad-
vise similar treatment of soil in
benches six inches in depth? We have
heretofore changed our soil every year,
but should like to know whether others
have successfully followed Mr. Grei-
velding's plan. C. I). D.

It would perhaps be better to ask
the opinion of persons who have used
soil two years successfully, as they
could probably give advice as to the
best way of handling the soil. We
have tried out the idea of using soil
two years on beds where only four
inches of depth was used to plant in,
and I am sure that it did not produce
as good stock as new soil would have
given us. Perhaps we did not handle it
right, and I would hesitate to say that
it could not be done. You will perhaps
remember that a few years ago, when
I first advocated the use of semi-solid
beds for growing carnations, in my
cultural notes in The Eeview, several
prominent growers argued against it,
claiming to have tried it and found that
kind of beds inferior for growing car-
nations during midwinter. But we were
using them right along with splendid
success, and many growers, after seeing
our stock, declared that they would at
least give them a trial.

This theorizing on a subject reminds
one of the story of the man who was
thrown into jail on a trivial charge.
His attorney, after hearing his story,
declared, "Why, man, they can't put
you in jail for a little thing like that! "
But his argument gave little comfort
to the prisoner, who said, "Confound it
all! They've got me in jail, haven't
theyt" So it is with these proposi-
tions. Our theories, as to what will
work and what will not, are all knocked
into a cocked hat when someone comes
along and tells you that he has done
just what your theory is supposed to
prove impossible.

One thing I have noticed, however,
and that is: In every case where soil
was used continuously for several years
with success, the beds were solid, so
that, when the soil was worked over, it
was possible to spade it a foot or more
in depth. There is no doubt that when
the roots of the plants are able to go
down into the soil as far as they please,
the soil will not be exhausted as much
as where the roots are confined to a
depth of four inches. We are inclined

to think that therein lies the secret
of using soil continuously for more than
one season.

Those who visited William Sim's
place during the big show last March
marveled at the fact that soil which
had never been changed could produce
such growth as was seen there. But
when the method of working over the

soil was explained, one ceased to mar-
vel. It is needless to say that there
were no raised benches there.

So, from what experience we have
had personally with reference to this
subject, and what we have seen ^else-
where, I woiild advise against using
soil on raised benches more than one
season — at least until someone demon-
strates by actual test that it can be
done successfully. A. F. J. B.

CULTUEAL NOTES.

Building of a Cincinnati Florist.

f A paper by Ferdinand Kolbe. of North Detroit,
read before the Detroit Florists' Club, continued
from The Review of May 18.1

General Treatment.

Under the head of general treatment
are to be classed the most important
details in growing carnations. There
is, first, the temperature, which should
be kept as even as possible, near the
50-degree mark at night, letting it run
up to about 56 or 58 degrees on cloudy
days and 65 degrees on . sunny days.
Those varieties with naturally stiffer
stems will stand 2 degrees more — the
Lawson family and Beacon, for ex-
ample.

The most important of all operations
is the watering, which must be at-
tended to with the utmost care. Keep-
ing the soil constantly wet will surely
make it sour in the course of time,
when it will be useless to plant growth
and will even rot the roots, or at least
retard their action. I generally judge
whether watering is necessary by look-
ing at the soil, noting if there are any
active roots to be seen on top. Or I
determine whether there is any moist-
ure in the soil by taking a little be-
tween two fingers and squeezing it; if
it flattens, then there is no hurry
about watering, but if it crumbles up
it is time to give them a fairly good
soaking.

The air is another important factor
in producing a good quality of stock.
Do not be too stingy about your coal
pile. We all know that plant life, as
well as human life, needs oxygen for
its existence. Without it there would
be no life. This shows that the more
air we can give the plants, the better
will their constitution develop. I open
the vents on all possible occasions, es-
pecially on close, cloudy days. These
are the days that are most liable to
produce rust and other fungous dis-
eases.

Diseases and Pests.

Da])hne Indica and epacris can be sim-
ilarly treated. Do not, however, plant

that a few weeks ago he was able ti
move into a building of four floors am,

sively. There are a .grcfrt-jiftThy fea
tares of the Jlower business that make
it a decided advantage to have one V
own building. There are no instances
of complaint because of the fragrance
of the llowers, but many a florist's fel-
low tenants have failed to approve of
the proximity of the fertilizers. Also,
strange as it may seem, the tenants on
the lloor below do not seem to like to
have the wholesaler upset his buckets
of water. These are among the little
vexations that are escaped when the
tlorist has the property to himself. Mr.
Murphy has installed a cut flower de-
partment on the street floor. The
ollices and florists' sujijily department
are on the second floor. The third floor
is used for sphagnum and green moss,
with other articles of similar nature.
The fourth floor is occupied by the wire

the fertilizers, bulbs, and other heavy
articles.

THE USE OF OLD SOIL.

Aceordintj to X. Greivcldiug's method
of handling his carnation soil, as de-
scribed in The Review of May 4, page
15, ho uses the same soil for as long
a period as five years. ^Vould you ad-
vise similar treatment of soil in
benches six inches in depth? We have
heretofore changed our soil every year,
but should like to know whether others
have successfully followed Mr. Grei-
velding's plan. C. D. D.

It would perhaps be bettor to ask
the opinion of persons who have used
soil two years successfully, as they
could probably give advice as to the
best way of handling the soil. Wo
have tried out the idi'a of using soil
two years on beds where only four
inches of depth was used to plant in,
and I am sure that it did not produce
as good stock as new soil would have
given us. I'erhaps we did not handle it
right, and I would hesitate to say that
it could not be done. You will perhaps
remember that a few years ago, when
I first advocated the use of semisolid
beds for growing carnations, in my
cultural notes in The Review, several
prominent growers argued against it,
claiming to have tried it and found that
kind of beds inferior for growing car-
nations during midwinter. 13ut we were
using them right along with splendid
success, and many growers, after seeing
our stock, declared that thoy would at
least give them a trial.

This theorizing on a subject reminds
one of the story of the man who was
thrown into jail on a trivial charge.
His attorney, after hearing his story,
declared, ' ' Why, man, they can 't put
you in jail for a little thing like that! "
Jiut his argument gave little comfort
to the i)risoner, who said, "Confound it
all! They've got me in jail, haven't
they?" So it is with these proposi-
tions. Our theories, ns to what will
work and what will not, are all knocked
into a cocked hat when sumeone comes
along and tells you that he has done
just what your theory is supjiosed to
jirove impossible.

One thing I have noticed, however,
and that is: In every case where soil
Avas used continuously for several years
with success, the beds were soliil, so
that, when the soil was worked over, it
was possible to spade it a foot or more
in depth. There is no doubt that when
the roots of the plants are able to go
down into the soil as far as they please,
the soil will not be exhausted as mucli
as where the roots are confined to a
depth of four inches. We are inclined

to think that therein lies the secret
of using soil continuously for more than
one season.

Those wlio visited William Sim's
place during the big show last March
marveled at the fact that soil which
had never been changed could produce
such growth as was seen there, liut
when the method of working over the

soil was explained, one ceased to mar-
\el. it is needless to say that there
Averc no raised benches there.

So, from what experience we have
had personally with reference to this
subject, and what we have seen else-
where, I would advise against using
soil on raised benches more than one
season — at least until someone demon-
strates by actual test that it can be
done successfully. A. P. .T. B.

General Treatment.

Under the head of general treatment
are to be classed the most important
details in growing carnations. There
is, first, the temperature, which should
be kept as even as possible, near the
50 degree mark at night, letting it run
up to about 56 or 58 degrees on cloudy
days and Go degrees on sunny days.
Those varieties with naturally stiffer
stems will stand 2 degrees more — the
Lawson family and Beacon, for ex-
ample.

The most important of all operations
is the watering, which must be at-
tended to with the utmost care. Keep-
ing the soil constantly wet will surely
make it sour in the course of time,
when it will be tiseless to plant growth
and will even rot the roots, or at least
retard their action. I generally judge
whether watering is necessary by look-
ing at the soil, noting if there are any
active roots to be seen on top. Or I
determine whether there is any moist-
ure in the soil by taking a little be-
tween two fingers and scjueezing it; if
it fiattens, then there is no hurry
about watering, but if it crumbles up
it is time to give them a fairly good
soaking.

The air is another important factor
in producing a good quality of stock.
Do not be too stingy about your coal
pile. We all know 'that ]ilan't life, as
well as human life, needs oxygen for
its existence. Without it there would
be no life. This shows tiiat the more
air We can give the plants, the better
will their constitution develop. I open
the vents on all possible occasions, es-
pecially on close, cloudy days. These
are the days that are most liable to
produce rust and other fungous dis-
eases.

Diseases and Pests.

In running up against diseases, I can
not help using the old, common expres-
sion, "An ounce of prevention is better

1 »T '•

18

than a pound of cure." The natural
preventive for all these difiEerent spots,
fairy ring, etc., is nothing but fresh,
dry air and careful watering. This
should convince us that syringing is to
be discontinued as soon as the weather
prevents us, in early winter, from giv-
ing sufficient fresh air to keep the at-
mosphere pure.

But now, while we are trying to pre-
vent fungous diseases, we cultivate red
spider. This is quite a problem, as the
only real preventive for this obnoxious
little animal is cold water, with thirty
pounds of pressure behind it. I fight
it in fall, when the days are still
bright and sunny, and give it a rest un-
til the days get longer and warmer, so
I can open the ventilators to dry the
plants after a good soaking. In fact,
I would rather have a little rust than
a dose of spider. I must not forget our
other living friend, the green fly. I
call it friend. It is a friend as com-
pared with the other fellows we have
to put up with. There is no excuse for
its being in the greenhouses, as only a
little smudge every week will keep it
out entirely. Of course, if it gets its
own way it will spoil the foliage and
may even take enough substance out
of the buds to cause them to split. Here
I must say, however, that this is not
the only cause of splitting. I think un-
even temperature is what chiefly does
the work. Of course, some varieties
are more subject to it than others, so it
can not bo prevented entirely. As to
chemical remedies for all these differ-
ent troubles, I have little to say. I
have tried a few of them, but with
rather poor results. So I prefer to
stick to prevention; let others take to
cure, if they choose.

Benches or Solid Beds?

Which are best for carnations, solid
beds or raised benches? To this ques-
tion I must give the same answer as 1
have given many times before. In
solid beds I can grow good stock if I
am half asleep, but when I grew them
in raised benches I found it necessary
to be wide awake all the time. This
difference lies in the watering. If you
can keep away from the hose long
enough to give them a chance to dry
out once in a while, solid beds are all
right.

As to the varieties to grow, I leave
that to each grower himself. He
knows best which are the most profit-
able for him to grow and which bring
him the most money, or which his trade
demands.

As to new kinds, I will say it is nice
to have something new every year, for
the pleasure you get out of it, but I do
not think it profitable for the smaller
grower to invest much in things that
he does not know, because every dollar
spent has to be made again. It is up to
the larger' grower to try everything
that is promising, and he, if he strikes
something good, has the room to make
all he can out of it.

Timing the Crops.
In order to regulate our crops to ad-
vantage, we should try to have the
heaviest cut in midwinter, be oflf crop
in Lent and come in again heavier for
Decoration time, when flowers as a rule
are not too plentiful. To accomplish
this, a little pruning is essential. Dur-
ing winter, while taking cuttings, I
trim out all weak growth which is
likely to come in bloom at a wrong
time. This helps to strengthen the re-
maining shoots for a good spring crop.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

May 25, 1911.

At this time of the year it is far bet-
ter to have a slightly smaller number
of flowers and to have them good. This
will also help to keep the faker from
the streets; 25-cent sales will not be
necessary, and yet we will realize more
money for our goods in the end. If all

the growers work toward this end, a
great deal can be accomplished. I
know the retailer will appreciate it. It
is pretty hard to ask 75 cents or even
50 cents a dozen for carnations if on
the other side of the street they are
sold for 25 cents.

By a. Prickett, Tottenham, England.

On reaching New York, American
friends piloted us around the wholesale
florists' stores in the city. All doors
were thrown open to us and we were
interested in the methods explained to
us. Our eyes were opened to the large
quantities of roses and carnations han-
dled. Cold chambers at all the estab-
lishments are useful for holding over
unsold stock until the following day.
In all the cities we visited the florists
were most cordial in their welcomes.
Their nurseries and seed stores exceed-
ed my expectations, not only in the
quantities of flowers grown but in the
methods that prevailed. The green-
houses and heating arrangements are
far ahead of anything I have seen in
the old country. At Chicago, an unin-
terrupted view of five acres of carna-
tions under glass, planted out on raised
beds, was a sight never to be forgotten.
I think their methods of greenhou.e
building are in advance of ours; with
them money seems to be no object.

The Boston show was a grand affair,
but in my opinion the old country can
go one better, excepting, perhaps, on
roses and carnations. In the nurseries
the plants for market are not so good
as grown around London for Covent
Garden market. Cut roses, carnations
and sweet peas were grand for the time
of the year.

By John S. Gunu, Birmingham.

In giving my impressions of America,
the one which stands out the most
prominent and which gave me the most
pleasure, was the hearty welcome ex-
tended to us by all the florists and
growers we met there, and the genial
and good fellowship that they h.-id for
each other.

I should think that the cut flower
trade has grown very rapidly during
the last ten years, on account of the
immense glass structures that have
been erected during that time, espe-
cially for roses and carnations, which
are grown to the highest perfection,
although some of the varieties of roses
would be unsuitable for our British
cut flower trade. All plants seem to be
looked upon from a cut flower stand-
point only. Any varieties that do not
give a good and continuous crop are
discarded by the grower, which loaves
the florist with little variety.

Our visit to Boston show was of
great interest, as it gave ns a more
general idea of what is grown in this
country. As we expected, the roses and
carnations were very fine, as also were
the sweet peas. Plenty of the latter,
shown on the first prize table of Mr.

Sim, had stems eighteen inches and
over, carrying large flowers, all winter
flowering varieties. They were very
good indeed. Two other very fine ex-
hibits were those of Mr. Eoland's; one
a group of acacias, well flowered, in-
cluding some choice varieties; the other
rambler roses, well grown and of a
good color.

The plant trade of America, gen-
erally, seems to be in the har^ds of the
various seedsmen, who impbrt large
quantities of roses and flowering shrubs
from Holland. Plants used for bedding
seem to be coleus, fuchsias, heliotropes,
geraniuins, etc. These ajp grown in
large quantities by one or two grow-
ers, who supply the seedsmen direct as
required. There is also a large quantity
of dahlias in the best varieties grown
for this trade. Cannas and gladioli are
planted very largely, these are grown
for the retail trade in California. No
attempt seems to be made at villa gar-
dening beyond leveling the turf and
planting one or two rambler roses and
clematis to grow over the verandas.
This gives the suburbs of the large
cities a very bare and impoverished
appearance. There is much food for
thought at the way things are done in
the United States and the quickness
with which they seem to clinch on to an
idea and carry it through.

By J. Brown, Stamford, England.

At Philadelphia we were the guests
of W. Atlee Burpee, who took us for a
motor drive around the city and parks.
An inspection of his seed establishment
followed. We were surprised to find
such a large, well-ordered establish-
ment, from which enormous quantities
of seeds are distributed to all parts.
We also visited the nurseries of Henry
Dreer, a well-managed place, with many
acres of glass, where palms, ferns, roses
and stove and greenhouse plants gen-
erally are represented in tens of thou-
sands. Our visit to Vincents' nurseries
at White Marsh we looked forward to
with pleasure, and we were not disap-
pointed. Enormous quantities of ge-
raniums are sent out, also dahlias, can-
nas, etc., and celery and other vege-
table plants. Messrs. Vincent must dis-
tribute millions of plants in a year.
The sons are all good business 'men.
Yes, altogether a smart business place.
While at Washington, a fine city, with
magnificent buildings, we visited the
nurseries of the Gude brothers. Amer-
ican Beauty roses are a great feature,
also carnations, liliums, hydrangeas,
etc. I have very pleasant memories of
all I saw in Washington.

Eichmond, Ind., was our next call, to
see the nurseries of E. G, Hill Co., a
very good establishment, Boses and
carnations are done well. A new carna-
tion, Bonfire, bright scarlet, is a fine
thing, also several new roses. Mr. Hill
has found the lost scent of- the rose
and we shall soon have his new varie-
ties.

From there we went to Chicago. This
is a pushing place, all hustle. It seems
to me this will yet be the greatest city
in America. We visited the wholesale
florists, also the great cut flower grow-
ing establishment of the Poehlmanu
brothers: 62,000 plants of American
Beauty rose, also Richmond, My Mary-
land, Killarney, White Killarney, Mel-
ody, etc., altogether 275,000 roses under
glass, most of them struck from cut-
tings; 250,000 carnations all planted
out on raised beds.

The Boston show was well laid out.
Groups of acacias and ericas, and a

farden of roses from T, Boland, were
eatures, also the Dutch garden of
Messrs. Farquhar. Mr. Walsh put up a
splendid group of rambler roses in
which Mrs. M. H. Walsh, a new double
white was very fine, also Lucille. A. N.
Pierson, of Cromwell, staged a new-
sport from Killarney, named Scarlet
Killarney; I should say it has a good
future. Mr. Scott exhibited Double
Pink Killarney, with twelve or more
petals than in the old Killarney; it
looked a good rose. Carnations were a
great feature — we expected this. It
seems to me our American friends have
much to learn as regards the staging
of flowers. We took tram to see Mr.
Sim's sweet peas, a marvelous sight,
•one house 400 feet long and forty-three
feet wide, with nine rows of sweet
peas, six feet high in the pink of
health covered with blooms. Thousands
of Princess of Wales violets are grown
under glass; then comes tomatoes. Mr.
Sim is a clever grower.

New York was the beginning of our
trip, and in New York we finished.
We were obliged to decline several invi-
tations to visit nurseries, but on our
last day there we were the guests of
Arthur T. Boddington at lunch. Yes,
a most wonderful time we had in Amer-
ica from first to last, and a thousand
thanks to the American florists who
welcomed, us, not as strangers but as
brothers. A great wave is coming over
America to beautify the cities and
towns with trees and shrubs. With the
exception of Washington and a few
towns this has been neglected. America
does big things when she starts and
American nurserymen are on the look-
out for stock. I am surprised that
English nurserymen do not push for
American trade; any quantity of stock
<;an- be sold and American nurserymen
are eager to buy. But it is all left to
the Dutchmen, who do a roaring trade,
as the field is left to them.

WHITE FLY.

There are many white flies in my
greenhouse. Will you please tell me of
something I can use that will destroy
them? K. L. F.

Such safe fumigants as To-bak-ine
will clear out white fly, but the most
effective means is hydrocyanic acid
gas, directions for the use of which
have often been 'given in the pages of
The Review. A cool evening is neces-
sary for the operation. Do not trust
the work to any assistant; do it your-

Bluedorn's Azalea.

self. This is a deadly gaS and it is
unwise to leave the fumigation to care-
less persons. Some plants are much
more easily injured than others. To-
matoes, cucumbers and antirrhinums,
for instance, are easily scorched. If
the fumigation can be given with the
temperature in 'the hous6 below 60 de-
grees, the chances of injury are great-
ly reduced. To get the cubic contents
of your house, multiply the length by
the breadth and this by the average
height. Give two fumigations, at in-
tervals of three nights, and you will
give' the white fly its quietus. This
is now a common form of fumigation,
not only for white fly, but for other
pests, but must be used with great
care.

I have found the following a safe
dose for use, giving an all-night ex-
posure: One pint water and one pint
sulphuric acid in a stone jar. Add to
this two and one-half ounces cyanide
of potassium. Place the jars fifty feet
apart in the house. I prefer to use
jars with sufficient mixture for at least
2,000 cubic feet of space. Having
placed the jars in position, see that
the ventilators are closed tightly. Drop
the cyanide, wrapped in oil paper, in
each jar. Walk along briskly. Make
a speedy exit. Lock the door and al-
low no one to enter until morning. To
breathe the gas is fatal. C. W.

Latrobe, Pa. — Edward Leitzman says
that the business of the florists in the
Latrobe and Irwin district is at the
lowest ebb in years, because of the
miners' strike, which has now been in
force thirteen months.

produced from a photograph received
from Herman Bluedorn, Eau Clatre,
Wis., who writes: "The plant stands

ures four feet six inches across the
head. I have no name for the variety.
Twelve years ago I received a number
of azaleas atid about two years later
noted that a branch of one of the
plants still on hand made an exception-
ally rapid growth. I took enough in-
terest in it to grow it on into a tree
[standard(t)] fo'rm and when it bloomed
it was a different color from the rest
of the plant, being a bright, dark
pink, with a still darker blotch in the
throat of the flower, I have raised cut-
tings of many different kinds of aza-
leas, but never have seen one like this.
All the cuttings from this plant go
naturally to the tree form and when
blooming they are all covered with
flowers, like the one in the photograph,
with hardly a leaf to be seen."

will also help to keej) the faker from
the streets: li.'i cent sales will not be
necessary, and yet we will realize more
uionev for our "oods in the end. If till

the growers work toward this end, a
great deal can be accomplished. I
know the retailer will appreciate it. It
is pretty hard to ask 75 cents or even
.')() cents a dozen for carnations if on
the other side of the street they are
sold for 25 cents.

By G. Prickett, Tottenham, England.

On re.achiiig New York. Americin
fi'ieiuls piloted us around the wholesah'
florists' stores in the city. .Ml doois
were thrown open to us and wi' were
interested in the methods explaiiu'd to
us. ()ur eyes were opened to the larm'
(piantities of roses and carnations han
dleii. Cold clunnbers .at all the estab
lishments are useful for holding o\'er
unsold stock until the following day.
In all the cities we visited the ibirist-
were most coidial in their welcomes.
Their nurseries and seed stores exceed
ed my exjiectations, not only in the
(piantities of flowers grown but in the
methods that ]prevailed. The green
houses and heating arrangements are
far ahead <d' anything 1 ha\e seen in
the old country. .\t Chicago, an unin
terru]iteil view of live acres of carna-
tions under glass, planted out on raised
beds, was a sight nevei' to ho forgotten.
T think their methods of greenhou c
building are in advance of ours; wit I,
them money seems to be no object.

The Boston show was ;i grand alfair.
but in my opinion the old country can
go one better, (>xcei>ting. i^'rhajis, on
i'os(^s and carnations. In the nurseries
the plants for market are not so gool
as giown arouiul Loudon for Covent
Garden market. Cut roses, carnations
ajid sweet ]>eas were grand for the tiiie^
of the year.

By John S. Gunn, Birmingham.

In giving my impressions of .\uie;ica,
the one which stands out the nib-t
|iiomineiit and which ga\e me th.^ most
jileasure. was tlie hearty welcome ex-
tende(l to us bv all the lloi'i'ts ami
growers we met ther(\ and tie ..;en::!|
and gooil 1ellowslii|i that the\ li.'ol 'ui
each other.

1 should think that the cut 'IipWc i
ti.ade has grown \ery rajiidh diiiin;^
the last ten y(>ars, on account oi the
immense glass structures that ha\e
been erected during that time, es|pe
cially for roses ami carnations, whi(di
are grown to the liighest perfection,
although some of the \arieties of rose^
would be unsuitalile for our British
cut flower trade. .Ml idanfs seem to be
looked npon from a cut (lower stand-
])oint only. .Any varieties tint do not
gi\e a good and continuous ( ro|i aie
discarded by the grower, which leaves
the florist with little variety.

Our visit to Boston sliow was of
great interest, as it gave us a more
general idea of what is grown in this
country. As we expected, the roses and
carnations were very fine, as also were
the sweet peas, plenty of the latter,
shown on the first prize table of Mr.

Sim, had stems eighteen imdies .and
over, carrying large flowers, all winter
doweling varieties. They were very
good indeed. Two oth(>r \ ery fine ex-
liibits were those of Mr. Poland's; one
a yroiip of acacias, wadl flowered, in-
clmling some idioice varieties; the other
rambler roses, well grown and of a
yood color.

The plant trade of America, gen-
erally, seems to be in the hands of the
\arious seedsmen, who imjiort ]ar;;e
((uantities of roses and llowering shrubs
from Ibdiand. Plants used foi' bedding
seiiii to be coleus, fuchsias, ludiotroiies.
L:eraninms. etc. These are grown in
large (]uantities by one or two grow-
ers, who sujiply the seedsmen direct as
rcijiiired. There is also a large quantity
of dahlias in the best varieties grown
for this trade. Cannas and gladioli are
jilanted very largely, these are grown
for the retail trade in California. \o
attemjit seems to be made at villa gar-
dening beyond leveling th(! turf and
lilanting one or two rainldiM- roses and
( lematis to grow over the verandas.
This gives the suburbs of the large
cities a very hare and impoverished
a]>pearancc. There is much food for
thought at the way things are done in
the I'uited States and the quickness
with which they seem to clinch on to an
ide.a and carry it through.

By J. Brown, Stamford, England.

\t Philadelphia we were the guests
of W. Atlee Burpee, who took us for a
motor drive around the city and ^larks.
An inspection of his seed establishment
followed. "We wer(> surprised to find
such a large, well ordered establish-
ment, from which enormous quantifit's
of ^eeds are distributed to all parts.
\\C also visited the nurseries of Henry
I'lecr. a well-managed jilace, with nmny
.acres of glass, Avhere palms, ferns, roses
ami stovi' and gre(>nhonse jilants gen
er.illy are rei>resent('d in tens of thou-
s.inds. Our visit to X'incents' nurseries
;ii White Marsli we looked forward to
with pleasure, and Ave were not disap-
|ioint('(l. lOnormous (juantities of ge-
raniums are sent out, also dahlias, can
nas. etc., .aiul c(dery and other \'ege-
table plants. Messrs. Vincent must (lis-
tribiite millions of plants in a year.
The sons are all good business men.
Yes. .altogether a smart business place.
While at Washington, a fine city, with
magnificent buildings, we visited the
nurseries of the Gnde brothers. Amer-
ican Beauty roses are a great feature,
also carnations, liliums, hydrangeas,

all 1 saw in Washington.

thing, also several new roses. Mr. Kill

and we shall soon have his new \ari('
ties.

From there we went to Chii-a>;n. This
is a pusliing place, all hustle. It seems
to mt" this will yet be the greatest city
ill America. We visited the wholesale
llorists, also the great cut tlower grow
ing establishment of the Poehlmanii
brothers: (i2.000 plants of American
Beauty rose, also Richmond, My Mary-
laml. Killarney, White Killarney, Mel-
ody, etf., altogether 27o,n00 roses under
glass, most of them strucic from cut-
tings; 2;"0.0ii0 carnations all jilanted
out <ui raised beds.

The Boston show was well laid out.
Groui>s of acacias and ericas, and a
garden of roses from T. Eoland, were
features, also the Dutch garden of
Messrs. Farquhar. ^Mr. Walsii put up a
splendid group of rambler roses in
which Mrs. yi. II. Walsh, a new double
white Avas very fine, also Lucille. A. N.
Pierson. of Cromwell, staged a new
sport from Killarney, named .Si'arlet
Killainey: I should say it has a good
future. Mr. ticott exhibited Double
Pink Killarney, with twelve or more
petals than in the old KiP.arne.v; it
looked ;i good rose. < 'ariiat i(uis were a
great feature — we exjieeted this. Jt
seems to me our American friends have
murli TO learn as regards llie -taging
of llowers. We took tram to see Mr.
Sim's sweet peas, a mar\eloiis sight,
one house inO feet long and forty-three
feet wide, with nine rows of sweet
peas, six feet high in tln^ pink of
health coveroil with blooms. Thousands

ica from first to last, and a thousand
tlianks to the American florists who
welcomed, us, not as strangers but as
brothers. A great wave is coming over
America to iuantify the cities and
towns with trees and' shrubs. With the
exception of Wiishington and a few
towns this has been neglected, .\merica
does big things when she starts and
.\nierican nurserymen are on the look
out for stock. I am surprises! that
English nurserymen do not push for
-American trade; any quantity of stock
can be sold and American nurserymen
are eager to buy. But it is all left to
the Dutidimen, who do a roaring trade,

NEW TOBE.

Tbe Market.

., ,7

There is little change to note in the
condition of the wholesale cut flower
market, and one may honestly duplicate
last week's observations. The week
end, as usual, was utilized to clear out
the surplus and clean up the bulging
ice boxes. P^ce was the last con-
sideration. Miasummer conditions pre-
vail. The expected decrease in ship-
ments still is unrealized and the busi-
ness in general is at its lowest May
ebb in a generation.

An enormous plant Memorial day
trade is assured, but the increase in the
demand for cut flowers, apart from
white roses, carnations and lilies, will
not be noticeable. Boses show the
effect of the warm spell, the tempera-
ture now hugging 80 degrees, with great
humidity. Killarney is still demonstrat-
ing its value as an all-the-year rose,
and its immense productiveness shows
no decrease. Eichmond is about over
for the season. The supply of Bride
and Maid is limited. Carnations also
show the effect of the hot weather.
Many are already thrown out, but the
lessened supply has not boosted the
price, and 2 cents is the top for, the
best of them. Orchids are abundant
and lower, but they have not reached
the humiliation of the street, where
gardenias and roses seem to find their
safest outlet. Lilies still sell for $4
per hundred and only the best of tne
sweet peas are salable. Gladioli, irises
and peonies are here in large supply
and ^ilac is so abundant that every
groceryman sells it, and most of them
have added pansies and geraniums to
their vegetable counters.

The green goods men ship lilac from
the country in vanloads. This week
ought to see the end of it. Iris and
peony stock is perfect, and the ship-
ments of each unexpectedly large.
Decoration day is near and its success
is always assured.

The first part of June will see the
summer market established and its
three months of recuperation begun.

Various Notes.

S. S, Butterfield has left the hos-
pital and is convalescing at his Brook-
lyn residence. Mrs. Butterfield came
from Oklahoma to assist in his recovery.

Doubleday, Page & Co., of Garden
City, have sent out invitations for a re-
ception at their new establishment.
May 23.

B. Eosens leaves next month for 'i
European trip and will purchase novel-
ties for the supply market while away.

J. Lichtenberger, another of the sup-
ply men, reports a successful season,
and a growing demand for his gold let-
ters specialty.

The Johnston Heating Co. reports a
splendid season. The exhibit at the
Boston show brought many orders, and
the company has decided to make a
fine display at Baltimore.

The veteran wholesaler, J. K. Allen,
has been fighting the grip for some
days.

F. H. Mitchell, of Waterville, Me.,
was a recent visitor.

Frederick V. Colville will lecture
May 27 at the Museum building, Bronx
park, on ' ' The Influence of Soil Acidity
on Plant Distribution."

The Pennock-Meehan Co. has leased
the four-story building at 117 West

Twenty-eighth street for a term of
years, commencing May 1, 1912. The
firm will remain in its present location
in the meantime. The new store is next
door to the Kervan Co.

Several of the wholesalers are doing
duty as jurors, the engagement cover-
ing several weeks. Jos. A. Fenrich
is on the grand jury, but finds time, as
chairman of the outing committee of the
Florists' Club, to boom the annual
festival.

W. P. Ford is enjoying his leisure
days at his farm in Pennsylvania.

Jonathan Nash, of Moore, Hentz &
Nash, was one of the grip victims. He
was back at his desk May 20. The
contemplated trip to Europe with Mrs.
Nash will fit him for the strenuous
autumn season.

Loechner & Haase have chosen 11
Warren street for their office, an excel-
lent location. They will do an import-
ing business in trees, bulbs and horti-
cultural specialHies. Mr. Loechner
was long connected with the Yoko-
hama Nursery Co.

Several local nurserymen will attend
the nurserymen's convention, at St.
Louis, June 14 to 16. The nurserymen
in this vicinity have had one of the
most profitable and long-extended sea-
sons in their experience.

Andrew Wilson has been away, in the
interests of the Wilson Plant Oil &
Fertilizer Co., in Pittsburg and the
west.

Wm. H. Kuebler was at Bingh^ton
with sixty of his fellow Shrine^ last
week. X

Charles Millang has been addini
his force of salesmen, and has
some large plant sales lately froi
branch on the second floor of
Coogan building.

Maurice L. Glass, of A. Moltz & Co.,
is away on his honeymoon in the Adir-
ondacks. The church and dining-room
at the wedding were beautifully deco
rated by a Brooklyn artist.

Bowling.

The match between Madison and the
New York seedsmen, which was an-
nounced for May 20, was postponed
because of the illness of the club's
anchor, William Duckham. Madison
will therefore take its medicine a lit-
tle later. The match between Tuxedo
' and New York will take place at
Thumm's alleys, Thirty-first street and
Broadway, Saturday evening, May 27.
Greater interest is shown in the New
York club since the contest for mem-
bership in the team at Baltimore be-
gan. Chadwick made 227 and 230 May
19 and several of the club went well
over 180. The members present also
included Messrs. Fenrich, Nugent, Holt,
W. Eickards, Kakuda, Scott, Shaw and
Manda. There will be bowling every
Friday evening until August.

J. Austin Shaw.

MONTGOMERY, ALA.

After a long dry spell, which was a
cause of great anxiety to the farmers
in this vicinity, we have had two re-
freshing rains, and vegetation is once
more on the bright side. This is the
one serious drawback to this section of
the south; the extremes are too great,
and it keeps one guessing and on the
anxious seat all the time. When it is
dry it is very, very dry, and when it
rains it just pours, pounding the soil
so that more water runs off than is

absorbed. Planting, which was halted
by reason of the drought, will now be
resumed. Eoses in the open ground
are growing finely, and bulbous stock
as well. Sweet peas are in their prime
and imn\ense quantities are used at
good prices.

Carnations are now grown .entirely
in pots, the uncertain conditions of the
weather preventing their planting in
the fieldr Planting in the houses has
commenced. Eoses, which are rotated
in the houses, are all planted except
those carried over, which are in good
crop.

Some varieties of herbaceous plants
succeed admirably, but many of the
finer sorts are a total failure, either
being drowned out or burned up. They
succeed better in some soils than others.

Business still is fine. Mothers' day
was over double last year, with prices
good, the out-of-town trade being es-
pecially heavy. Orders came in early
in the week and continued until the
morning of Saturday, when the home
rush commenced. Carnations seemed
to have the call, although toward the
last everything in the flower line was
bought up. Paterson says he couid have
sold more home-grown stock if he had
it, having to turn down orders from the
trade in surrounding territory.

W. C. C.

DAYTON, O.

The Market.

With the aid of a few showers and
warm sunshine, blooming shrubs will
all be over by Decoration day, so that
will be one thing less that the florists
will have to contend with. With the
same favorable weather conditions,
peonies will come in just right. Some
of the early reds are having their day
now. Orders for cut flowers of all
kinds for Memorial day are coming in
fast, and while stock along some lines
will be scarce, there will be other stock
to substitute. The exceedingly warm
weather has greatly diminished the size
of roses, but is producing big cuts, and
though the demand at present is dull,
they will not come amiss for the coming
big day. Carnations, while more abun-
dant, are also smaller, besides being a
little sunburnt and faded — quite in
keeping with the season of the. .year.
There will be a good supply of gladioli,
which readily find purchasers. Lilies,
too, will add to tne variety, while
peonies will not be far behind.

The warm weather has also helped
the bedding plant business along, as it
has been favorable to planting out.
Thus the florist is expecting that he
will have all his plant orders out before
the cut flower demand comes on.

Various Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Young have just
received word of the approaching mar-
riage of their youngest son, Frank
Young, to Miss Pexton, Vicksburg,
Miss., which will take place June 7, at
the Trinity church in Vicksburg.

The home of George Bartholomew was
the scene of a gay time on the evening
of May 19, when a large crowd of
friends came in to help him celebrate
his birthday. Mr. Bartholomew, who
intends to sail for England in July, was
the recipient of many handsome gifts,
which will be of great use to him on his
trip. Fred Lembke, of W. W. Barnard
Co., Chicago, who had been traveling

through Kentucky, arrived in time to
be among the guests.

The Dayton Floral Co. is exception-
ally busy, filling vases, porch boxes and
flower beds. They find the demand for
geraniums unusually brisk '^his year,
and these seem to be scarcest. An
unusual order feame to them by telegram
from Minneapolis, Minn., in which they
were instructed to fill a vase, regard-
less of expense, twenty-five miles out
of the city. Mr. Matthews, the propri-
etor, secured a taxi and sent his man-
ager and a choice line of bedding plants
to fill the order.

"Outside planting is enough for us
just now," is H. H. Bitter's report.
He says that while only an occasional
wedding order comes in, with now and
then some funeral work, the outdoor
work keeps them on the jump.

Mrs. Bertha Hendrichs, who has been
in ill health for several weeks, is stay-
ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Bartholomew, where she is enjoying
the fresh country air.

It has been necessary for John Boeh-
ner to increase his working force, in
order to take care of his vase and
bedding orders.

Mrs. Jos. Schaeffer was taken to the
Miami Valley hospital. May 20, where
she has undergone a serious operation.
It is reported that she has rallied from
the operation and that there are hopes
for her recovery. K. A. B.

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

There has been a generally good de-
mand for cut flowers and plants during
the last week; nothing specially brisk,
but simply good, healthy business. In
design work there has been an unusual
demand, the number of funeral pieces
made up during the last week or ten
days being far in excess of the average
season. The sale of carnations on
Mothers' day told more eloquently than
words how the sentiment is growing
hereabouts.

The Memorial day rush will begin in
a day or so and the local dealers and
florists are ready for whatever demand
is made. There is a plentiful stock of
everything and prices are seasonably
low.

Various Notes.

There was a good attendance at the
regular monthly meeting of the Flo-
rists' and Gardeners' Club of Rhode
Island, held in the rooms of the associa-
tion, 98 Westminster street, Monday
evening. May 15. In the absence of
the president, Eobert Johnston, first
Vice-President Eugene Appleton pre-
sided. Eeports of committees were ren-
dered and the subject of establishment
of a market was discussed at consider-
able length. The question of holding a
summer outing was also discussed, but
action was deferred until the meeting
in June. Mr. Appleton distributed
cigars in honor of the advent of a
daughter into his family circle.
- Timothy O'Connor, one of the oldest
florists in this city, and his wife cele-
brated their golden wedding at their
home on Barnes street Monday evening.
May 15, in the presence of a large num-
ber of relatives and a few intimate
friends. They received many hand-
some presents, and the evening was
made thoroughly enjoyable by an im-
promptu program of entertainment,

which was followed by the serving of
refreshments. •

James Barclay concluded his services
as manager of the greenhouses of Jo-
seph Kopelman, at Oaklawn, May 15,
and has taken a range near New Lon-
don, Conn. He is succeeded by Michael
Walsh, who was with William Hay and^
the Burke Rose Co. for several years.

Noonan Bros, are sending in some
handsome baskets of pansies and ver-
benas, and pots of geraniums.

Lawrence Hay, of East Providence,
again has the grounds of the Agawam
Club and Hunt 's mills to look after this
year. He is just bedding out nearly
1,000 geranium plants at the latter
place.

W. S. Pino is furnishing all the seed
for the educational department of the
school gardens at Roger Williams park, <
the Thayer street grammar school,
State normal school and other institu-
tions of the city.

Marsden J. Perry expects soon to
build a greenhouse on Atlantic avenue,
Newport, to cost $30,000.

The Park Greenhouses are supplying
the local market with some fine baskets
of myosotis.

Charles H. Hunt is looking for a
piece of land to lease on which to
erect a carnation house. He has been
busy on funeral work, having six large
pieces on one day, including two gates
ajar. He has an order to furnish one
of the Grand Army posts with 250 6-
inch pots of geraniums for Memorial
day.

Joshua Vose, of the Mayfield Dahlia
Gardens, Pontiac, was in the city last
week making deliveries of dahlia or-
ders. His catalogue this season con-
tains about 250 varieties.

Walter Eglinston, for several years
orchid grower with C. Oscar Schultz, of
Newport, left recently, having secured
a position as foreman of a large com-
mercial establishment at San Francisco.

Samuel Kinder, forester of Bristol,
has begun the spraying of trees in that
town.

The committee which has in charge
the matter of establishing a market in
this city held a meeting May 15, at
which some progress was made. It is
expected that tangible developments
will result in a short time.

Carl Jurgens, of Newport, is sending
in good consignments of summer Ameri-
can Beauties.

Herbert West, formerly at William
Hay's greenhouses at Oaklawn, has
taken the management of Mr. Hay's
downtown store on Clements street.

John Johnston, of Johnston Bros.,
had a narrow escape from serious in-
jury Saturday not far from the store.
He was driving a young horse that the

BOSTON.

The Market.

While we were spared the hot wave
last week which struck Chicago, Wash-
ington and other cities, the present
week opens with the warmest weather
of the season and business remains
at a rather low ebb. Everyone is now
anticipating Memorial day trade hope-
fully and, unless all signs fail, the sup-
ply of flowers will be no more than suf-
ficient for the demand. Roses have
been selling cheaply. Fakers now get
a bountiful supply of them, and for
several weeks a prominent Bromfield
street store has been offering assorted
boxes of twenty-five nice roses for 50
cents. Carnations are off crop with
many growers and are nearing the end.
It looks now as though Memorial day
prices on these would average about
double those secured at Easter.

Good sweet peas are not overplenti-
ful. Spencers are selling much the
best. A great many short-stemmed
flowers are seen, the windup of the
indoor crops, but those having late
houses will find them profitable, as
outdoor crops are poor, owing to the
long drought. Callas and lilies are
abundant and have sold poorly of late.
Tulips and narcissi are nearing the end.
Some good Darwin tulips are now ar-
riving, but the present week will fin-
ish them. Some fine gladioli, such as
Mrs. Francis King and Shakespeare, are
arriving, with quantities of Peach Blos-
som and Blushing Bride among the
small-flowered class. Spanish iris is
abundant and popular for window ar-
rangements. Cut lilac is having quite
a sale this week.

Valley is overabundant. Cattleya
MossijB is in heavy supply, but the
demand is not brisk. There is a con-
tinued good sale for asparagus and
adiantum.

Bedding plant trade is brisk. Gera-
niums are selling particularly well and
show a tendency to advance in price.

i

contained some interesting exhibits.
The severe drought greatly reduced the
displays of bulbous and other hardy
flowers, which are this season of poorer
quality than^ij^il. K. & J. Farquhar &
Co. had aflTeXtensive named collection
of Darwin and other late tulips, also
V fine cut spikes of Lilium Brownii leu-
Xcanthemuni, the new Buddleia magnif-
jca. the hardy border carnation, Com-
tesse Knuth, with apricot-colored flow-
ers, and narcissi. The Blue Hill l^urs-
eries had a fine collection of named
lilacs, thirty - three varieties. Mrs.
Frederick Ayer, George Page gardener,
also had a fine lot of lilacs and Iris
Germanica Florentina. Mrs. A. W.
Preston, J. L. Smith gardener, received
a silver medal for a fine specimen of
Hydrangea hortensis. Mrs. E. M. Gill
had a fine assortment of seasonable
hardy and greenhpuse flowers.

In the class for six show pelargo-
niums there were four entries, Will-
iam Whitman, M. Sullivan gardener,
being first and third, and Mrs. J. L.
Gardner, William Thatcher gardener,
second.

For six zonal pelargoniums Daniel
Whyte, gardener to Winthrop Ames,
won with some fine specimens. Prince
Olaf being specially good. E. A. Clark,
Alex. McKay gardener, had the best
six herbaceous calceolarias. The same
exhibitor had a fine vase of American
Beauty roses. Dr. C. G. Weld, W, C.
Rust gardener, had a fine hybrid Lailio-
cattleya, L. C. Hyeana x L. C. Can-
hamiana, a decided advance on each of
the parents, also Calceolaria Stewarti,
golden yellow in color. Mrs. Cornelia
Warren, Henry Stewart gardener, had
a fine Cattleya citrina and George Page
a good specimen of Oncidium spha-
celatum.

Mrs. J. L. Gardner had a nice group
of cattleyas and other orchids. Dr.
C. G. Weld's new Lajlio-cattleya re
ceived a first-class certificate. Miss
Cornelia Warren received cultural cer-
tificate for Cattleya citrina.

From the Arnold Arboretum came
a large and interesting collection of
cut floTtering shrubs, including lilacs
in great variety, cornus, forsythias,
genistas. Azalea Ka3mpferi, loniceras,
exochordas, cercis, spirajas, cerasus,
mains, etc. We hope to see further
exhibits of this character during the
season.

Various Notes.

The Boston Flower Exchange has
formed a baseball team composed of the
following: A. E. Walsh, M. F. Ruane,
I>ed Solari, James Murray, William
McAlpine, Frank Edgar, James Fileson,
Frank Sim and John Cure. Their first
game will be played June 3 with W. H.
Elliott's, Madbury, N. H., team.

Hospital tag day at Lynn, May 19,
used up large quantities of carnations.
The Halifax Garden Co. sold 15,000
alone, to go there. These tag and
hospital days are good things for the
flower market, coming, as they usually
do, at a season when flowers are abun-
dant and demand not at all good.

William Sim is picking some 15,000
sweet peas daily. The Spencer vari-
eties with him promise to have a shorter
blooming season than usual. He has set
out 8,000 pots of early sweet corn and
has also a large acreage planted di-
rectly outdoors. He has most of his
houses now filled with tomatoes and
will commence picking in a day or two.
The tomatoes follow the single violets.

N. Ireland, at one time in charge of
the bedding plant department of Dob-
bie & Co., Rothesay, Scotland, and
lately with Forest Hills cemetery, left
this week to be foreman for A. Cowee,
Meadowvale Farm, Berlin, N. Y.

-Gustave Olson, of Woburn, has one of
the finest sweet peas now arriving in
the market, something in this way of
Christmas Pink, but much larger flow-
ers. It is a seedling of Mr. Olson's
own raising.

Sidney Hoffman was unfortunate
enough to have his right arm broken
wnile cranking up his machine near
the Park Street Flower Market May 16.

Penn's, on Bromfield street, is push-
ing ahead the alterations on the store
one door nearer Washington street,
which will be occupied in addition to
the present store. Constantly increas-
ing business demands more space.

Perry Green, of Quincy, grows the
small-flowered gladioli, such as Peach
Blossom and Blushing Bride, well, the
stems being splendid. They sell readily
at the Boston Co-operative Market.

Charles Evans, of Watertown, has a
fine new Peerless delivery car in which
he is bringing in loads of well-grown
hydrangeas and Baby Rambler roses
just now.

Spraying operations against the elm
beetle, gypsy moth and brown-tail
moth started in earnest this week here-
abouts and several hundreds of tons of
arsenate of lead will be used in the
efl'ort to keep them under control.

The Boston Sunday Herald, May 21,
had an appreciative two-column illus-
trated article on E. H. Wilson and his
several trips to China during the last
eleven years.

A. A. Pembroke is bringing in some
splendid Mrs. Francis King and Shake-
speare gladioli to the Boston Flower
Exchange. His carnations are still of
excellent quality.

The announcement made in this col-
umn in the issue of May 11 relative ^o
Messrs. Griffin and Head is stated by
Mr. Griffin to be incorrect. Mr. Griffin
intends to run his business alone, as he
is well qualified to do.

The devastation caused to growing
crops by cutworms is serious in this
section at present. Several growers find
Paris green and sweetened shorts the
best bait for the pests. Market grow-
ers have suffered severely from their

bring their flowers, thus insuring a
successful meeting despite adverse con-
ditions. Phil.

HYDRANGEAS DID NOT FLOWER.

Early in the winter I bought 100
Hydrangea Otaksa plants and treated
them as usual, but every one of them
came without buds, while plants from
another firm came fine. Will these
plants be of any use next year, or is
there danger of their again coming
blind? Wiiat caused this in the first
place? How should they be handled
until next winter? I believe it is too
hot to plant them out in the field here,
in northern Kansas. J. M. K.

The plants will carry over all right
if they can be planted out where they
can receive the necessary moisture. In
your climate field culture would not do
for them, but if you can plant them out
where they can get an occasional soak-
ing with the hose, they will make large-
sized plants to dig in the fall. Of
course, they can be carried over in pots
plunged in earth or cinders, but this
entails a lot of labor in watering. If
they can have a light shade, such as is
provided by laths, all the better. If
you can plant them in a slightly sunken
frame, where they can be watered,
syringed and shaded dur-ijig the hottest
hours of the day, theylwill do well.
Expose to full sun after August. Pot
up about the end of October, and keep
cool and a little on the dry side until-
needed for forcing. It is difficult to tell
the cause of the plants failing to flower

without knowing something of their
condition when received and their later
treatment. G. W.

OBITUARY.

Fred R. Mathison.

Fred E. Mathison, one of the pioneer
florists of New England and widely
known in the trade, died Sunday, May
21, at his home at Waltham, Mass.,
after a short illness. Mr. Mathison
was of British birth, but he came to
this country many years ago and be-
came one of the leading rose growers
around Boston. For a long term of
years his establishment was one of
the best known places in Massachu-
setts. A few years ago he retired from
business and rented his establishment
for some time, but later started in on
his own account once more and quickly
took his place again as one of the most
successful men of the craft in his vicin-
ity. He was a first-class grower, liked
by everyone. Mr. Mathison was a
member of long standing in the Boston
Gardeners' and Florists' Club and in
the Massachusetts Horticultural Soci-
ety. He was an active worker for each
of these organizations, though he never
had cared to hold office in either; he
was at one time a member of the execu-
tive committee of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club, and always one of the
willing workers. He was a member
of the American Rose Society and
quite active at the recent National
Flower Show. He Joined the S. A. F.
in 1887 and was a life member.

The funeral was held at Waltham,
May 23, and was attended by a large
delegation of members of the trade.
The wealth of floral tributes included
one from the Boston Gardeners ' and
Florists' Club and another from the
Flower Market. Mr. Mathison had
been twice married. The second wife
survives.

Lloyd G. Blick.

Lloyd G. Blick died May 18 at his
home at Norfolk, Va., after a lingering
illness. Mr. Blick was one of the lead-
ing florists of his section of the country
and was widely known in the trade. He
had been a member of the Society of
American Florists for the last eleven
years and was a regular attendant at its
conventions when held in eastern terri-
tory. The funeral took place May 21
and was largely attended, there being
floral tokens of esteem.

Eggert Nagel.

Eggert Nagel, proprietor of the Nagel
greenhouses, in Minneapolis, Minn., and
well known in the trade, was at'ruck
by a street car at the corner of/Emer-
son avenue and Lake street<-ln that
city, on the evening of May 16, and
almost instantly killed. Witnesses of
the accident say that at the same mo-
ment an automobile came down Lake
street at a terrific speed and turned to
the left side to pass the car, giving Mr.
Nagel no chance for escape except the
possibility of getting across the street
ahead of the street car. This he was
unable to do and was struck by the car
and hurled almost fifty feet.

He was 69 years of age, a native of
Hamburg, Germany, and came directly
to Minneapolis from that country forty-
six years ago. For sixteen years he
was manager of the Mendenhall green-
houses, the first of the kind in Minne-
apolis. Later he entered into business

E. Nagel.

for himself and some time afterward
took his son into partnership. He is
survived by the son, Theodore W. Na-
gel, a daughter, Mrs. D. G. Miner, and a
brother living in Davenport, la.

Mr. Nagel was a member of Masonic
lodge 224 and prominent in the work
of the order. He was also a member
of the West Side Commercial Club and
was on his way to attend a meeting
of that organization when the fatal
accident occurred. The club passed the
following resolution as soon as word
of the accident was received:

"Whereas, The board of directors of
the West Side Commercial Club have
just learned of the sudden death by a
regrettable accident of our worthy
member, E. Nagel, who was on his way
to attend a meeting of the Civic Cele-
bration decoration committee of the
West Side Commercial Club; be it

"Resolved, That we express our deep
sympathy and condolence to the family
in their bereavement. The West Side
Commercial Club has lost a valuable
and energetic member, who will long
be remembered for his sterling quali-
ties. A. E. Woollan, George H. Filbert,
John Towell, committee."

Arthur W. Lemke.

Arthur W. Lemke, of Milwaukee,
Wis., committed suicide May 15 at
the home of his parents, 1000 Twenty-
fifth avenue, by drinking carbolic acid.
He was 23 years old. Business troubles
are said to have caused the act.

t John Wolf.

John Wolf, an expert gardener in the
employ of the Elm City Nursery Co.,
at New Haven, Conn., committed sui-
cide in W^ashington park, Bridgeport,
May 11, by drinking carbolic acid. He
was 48 years old and had been in the
service of the nursery firm for eleven
years. He is survived by his wife, one
son, Harry, and two daughters, Genett
and Frederiea Wolf, all of whom reside
at the family home, 24 Auburn street,
New Haven.

Utica, N. Y;.— It is said that Wm. A.
Treen, at 8 Leeds street, has in one of
his greenhouses a lemon tree on which
hangs a lemon that weighs twenty-eight
ounces. The tree is less than three feet
tall.

RESULTS.

We give them. You get them.
We both have them.

Again last week the classified plant
advertisements in The Review broke all
previous records — almost thirty-six col-
umns of them. This business comes to
The Review practically without solicita-
tion, simply because many hundreds of
florists who have tried it have found it
pays, usually out of all proportion to the
small cost.

The hot weather, which was genera?
last week over the northern part of the
United States, from the Rockies to the
Atlantic, did the cut flower industry a
vast amount of damage. But in the
wholesale cut flower business there fre-
quently are compensations — the destruc-
tion of stock gives additional value to
that which is left.

A GOOD many shrewd observers are ac-
customed to judge newspapers by the

AMERICAN PEONY SOCIETY.

The next meeting of the American
Peony Society will be held at Horti-
cultural hall, Broad street, Philadelphia,
Wednesday and Thursday, June 14 and
1.5, 1911. A. H. Fewkes, Sec'y.

UnoflScial advices from Philadelphia
are to the effect that the hot weather
has necessitated a change of date to
Thursday and Friday, June 8 and 9.

NAME OF SHBUB.

A tree and shrub agent has been sell-
ing what he calls "gustifolia" in my
neighborhood. I do not find it cata-
logued by any of the firms with which
I deal. What is it and where can it
be purchased! W. C.

Most of the trfl^«»nd shrub salesmen
who canvass from nodse to house know
little about the names of plants. They
usually carry a goodly number of cheap
colored chromos to advertise their goods

by, but my experience has been that
not one in twenty makes any pretense
to horticultural training, and when they
try to sell " gustif olias " we must be
charitableland assume that they mean
angustifolia, which is a secon^flMy name
to quite a number of plants. * do not
know of any gustifolia and doubt
whether it exists outside the iijiagina-
tion of your salesman. I do not like
to be hard on these salesmen, as we
know they sell large qiiantities of goods
which would otherwise be destroyed,
and induce many a householder to buy
goods which in not a few cases improve
their home surroundings. I do wish,
however, that the average salesman
were more of a horticulturist, both for
the purchaser's sake and for the credit
of the profession. C. W.

CHICAGO.

The Oreat Central Maxket.

- When things are not going well, it is
quite the custom to characterize condi-
tions as ' ' the worst ever. ' ' There is,
however, general agreement that the
week of May 14 to 20 was at least as
bad as this market ever has expe-
rienced. The temperature for several
days ran from 90 to 92 degrees, some-
thing entirely unprecedented for the
middle of May. The result was .to
bring in an enormous quantity of
flowers, to deprive the greater part of
the receipts of the quality necessary to
salability, while at the same time the
legitimate demand was reduced. The
result was that it became impossible to
sell the receipts at any price; the waste
was enormous, and it included almost
every variety of flower. The situation
was particularly unpleasant because a
great deal of sorting was necessary to
get out the stock that would stand
shipping, and prices on the selected
flowers were out of proportion to what
could be obtained for the remainder.
The farther apart the prices are, for
the best grade and the lowest grade,
the more difliculties there are for both
wholesaler and retailer.

While all flowers suffered in quality,
nothing felt the extreme heat as did
the sweet peas. These had been fine
and readily salable, but the heat cooked
them to the point where the greater
part of the receipts in some houses
went into the waste, simply too poor to
be ysable at any price. The worst fea-
ture is that the growers say the vines
have been irreparably injured. Beauties
also had been of extra good quality, but
quickly took on the midsummer hue
and size. Other roses stood the heat
better, but thrips reveled in it and
many of the flowers show the marks.
Of course, the greater part of the re-
ceipts were soft and open. Carnations
became soft and sleepy, and there were
more complaints from customers than
have been received in months. The
heat wave about finished off the iris
and it also brought the last of the out-
door bulb stock and lilac, except per-
haps for some small lots yet to come
from the north. Cattleyas, valley, lilies
and, indeed, everything else shared in
the general condition.

This week, with several days of rain
and cooler temperature, finds the mar-
ket on the upgrade. Beauties have be-
come good property once more, the sup-
ply having been reduced to the point
where buyers are not critical of qual-
ity. Killarney and Richmond, if good.

are again selling fairly well, though
the greater part of the flowers still are
poor. Strictly fancy carnations are
Oagain looking up, though Boston Mar-
-^et and its class are tabooed. Antir-
rhinum of fine quality fails to sell.
Lilies are doing a little better. There
is no special demand for peonies, and
all which are of the necessary quality
are going into storage for a few days'
stay.

Memorial Day.
Advance orders assure an enormous
volume of business for Memorial day.
The bulk of the business booked is on
peonies and carnations. If there is any
shortage it will be on the. latter flower,
and of low grade carnations there
promises to be a plenty. May 28 will
be the big shipping day. This is Sun-
day. Most of the wholesale houses will
be open all day and arrangements have
been made with the express companies
for wagon service to 6 p. m. Out-of-
town customers must remember that
there is no mail delivery in Chicago on
Sunday, unless special delivery stamps
are used. Orders to arrive in Chicago
Sunday for shipment the same day
must come by special delivery mail,
by long distance phpne, or by telegraph.

The Peony Situation.
The peony accounts for many thou-
sands of dollars in this market the
week of May 30. For that reason the
situation is one of special interest. The
early peonies were of exceptionally
good quality, but later receipts showed
the effect of dry, warm weather, and
the many thousands of dozens that
came in during the heat wave last week
made a big loss. A large part of the
stock was in such condition that the
heads fell off almost immediately. The
stock, if sold immediately, brought
many complaints from retailers, and if
kept a few hours by the wholesalers
became unsalable. Wagon loads were
thrown away. This has materially re-
duced the expected supply. The gen-
eral view is that strictly first-class
peonies will command good prices for
Memorial day, while at the same time
the stock not strictly first-class will
have little value. No wholesaler will
ship a peony unless he has complete
confidence in it; it brings nothing but

:>ftw5ft©©^wft^ft^5J5ft^5^^^ V ^^J^J^^^J^^^^WiJi^

trouble. The loss of a good part of the
crop from the central part of the state
will be made up for in a measure by
the arrival of the early varieties close
at home. As early as May 20 peonies
were being cut within twenty miles of
Chicago, an earlier date than anyone
can recall.

Various Notes.

Mrs. John Zech has been in the hos-
pital since May 19, when an operation
was performed on one of her feet. At
Zech & Mann's it is said she is pro-
gressing favorably.

Bruce McGregor, who came from just
where his name would lead one to sup-
pose, has been engaged to lay out a
Hampton Court garden at the Armour
place at Lake Forest. He came to
America from the Duke of Argyle and
is a brother of William McGregor, who
laid out the English garden at the St.
Louis world's fair.

Frank Johnson, of the A. L. Randall
Co., has returned from a trip of nearly
four weeks south and west. He was in
a territory where the season is much
farther advanced than it is here, but
says he found everyone satisfied with
trade conditions.

The Chicago Florists' Club will go to
Milwaukee on the afternoon of June 1
by electric car, leaving Evanston at
about 2:30. If forty respond to the
notices now being prepared by Secre-
tary A. T. Pyfer, of the Chicago Carna-
tion Co., a special car will be engaged.

.Tohn Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling
Co., says he feels sure last week's heat
brought in as much stock as would be
cut in three weeks of ordinary weather.

Martin Peterson says he grew $600
worth of bedding stock in frames back
of his retail store at 2550 West Division
street.

Kennicott Bros. Co. is steadily add-
ing to the facilities at its new branch
at 56 East Randolph street. A new
phone, Randolph 1988, gives close touch
with the main store.

Oscar Metz, at 5525 Jefferson avenue,
is having a busy season in spring plant-
ing.

L. Baumann is making his annual Eu-
ropean trip in search of supplies for flo-
rists. He is not expected to return
before August 1. ^

long after Decoration day.

August Koeble will sell his place on
North Fortieth avenue, to give his time

tions than for roses.

George Fisher, who is local buyer for
H. A. Fisher Co., Kalamazoo and Battle
Creek, will be married at Kalamazoo
June 6. The bride is Miss Dora

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The wholesale markets were again
crowded every day during the last week
with stock of poor quality, especially
roses, which are coming in soft and
wide open. Prices are greatly reduced
on all grades. Judging by the amount
of stock that is left over each morning
and by .reports from the leading re-
tailers, trade passed through a mighty
dull week. The month of June — that
is, up to the closing of the schools —
should be a busy one for the local flo-
rists. A number of large June wed-
dings have been booked by the uptown
florists.

The hot weather of last week had its
effect on cut stock and the business in
general. A glance over the markets on
Monday, May 22, showed them to be
loaded down with carnations, sweet
peas, peonies, gladioli and roses, and
the trade buying sparingly. Carnations
of best quality bring only $10 per thou-
sand and sweet peas are as low as $1.50
per thousand for choice stock. Eoses
are not over $4 for the best. Peonies
are overplentiful, and some were
dumped for want of demand. There is

Norman J. Coleman celebrated his
eighty-fourth birthday May 16, at his
home, 5499 Delmar boulevard. Mr.
Coleman is well known throughout the
country as editor of Coleman 's Rural
World. He was at one time lieutenant-
governor of Missouri and was secretary
of agriculture under President Cleve
land. He was once president of the
American Association of Nurserymen,
who meet here next month, when he
expects to meet many of his old friends.
He was at one time in business here
with the late Carew Sanders, the firm
being known as Coleman & Banders.
He is still hale and hearty and attends
to his duties daily as editor of his
paper.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Rising Eastern Market.

Tiie real market today is found in the
hundreds of greenhouses around the city,
where plants are grown for beautifying
the homes of the people. These green-
houses see a tremendous business daily,
in all kinds of flowering and foliage
plants that thrive outdoors in sun or
shade. To correctly report the plant
business is particularly diflBcult, owing to
the numerous marts. Reports from a
number of these plant growers indicate
an extremely activeN demand that is a:
least equal and in many cases far ahead
of previous seasons. Prices vary less than
one would suppose from the widely scat-
tered and numerous centers of activity.
In a general way these prices are well
maintained, though the margin is small,
requiring quick sales and small loss to
secure profit.

The feature of the cut flower market
is the arrival of Pseonia festiva maxima.
This means that the finest white peony
has come; better still, that there will bo
peonies for Memorial day. While the
weather has been unseasonably hot, it is
improbable that the bulk of the peonies
will be in by May 30. A number of
large growers in and about Philadelphia
say that their peonies will not be in time.
Outside of the arrival of peonies and of
the first and welcome outdoor sweet peas,
the market is featureless. The intensely
hot weather has brought entirely too
many flowers into the city and, what is
far worse, the heat has spoiled many of
them. Carnations and sweet peas wilJ
not keep, excepting those of fine quality.
Roses are small and fly open easily, and
so on all through the list. This means
that the flowers of quality that reach
the market in the proper condition of de-
velopment have an immense advantage;
with them the business is done. They
bring excellent prices for the season of
the year, and are in demand. The rest
of the flowers are jobbed off for any-
thing they will bring.

Carnations of quality are about the
best flowers on the list; there was an
excellent demand for them several days
during the week ending May 24, and
they have realized better prices than
could be expected, season and weather
conditions considered.

Outdoor sweet peas, and a late crop of
summer varieties grown indoors, have
such an advantage over the winter-bloom-
ing varieties that the latter are almost
unnoticed. The return of hot weather
has brought the Beauty into popular
favor again as the best rose;. Beauties are
selling well at fair prices, though ot
course they must have quality to sell.
The other roses sell cheaply, and there
are entirely too many good pink for
the demand, while Richmond is not es-
pecially wanted. The shorter grades of
white roses and of Kaiserin average bet-
ter prices than short colored roses. Cat-

ments, originated and photographed by
Charles Henry Fox. These beautiful
floral combinations have attracted so
much attention when reproduced in The
Review that today Mr. Fox has a larger
following of friends and admirers than
any other florist on the eastern seaboard.
When the corner property was sold to the
Ritz-Carlton hotel, Mr. Fox sold the old
Sign of the Rpse and just before Easter,
if you will please remember, removed
seven doors south on Broad street. It
was not generally known that this new
location, so like the first Sign of the Rose
in many of its chief attractions, was
only temporary. This week, however,
Mr. Fox has made public his plans.

The home of the new Sign of the Rose
will be in an old Philadelphia mansion
at 211 South Broad street. Its advan-
tages are many. First, it joins the new
RUz-Carlton hotel. The front will be
finished in the same style as the Ritz-
Carlton and there will be a communicat-
ing door. Next, the position at Broad
and "Walnut streets is ideal, from the
standpoint of the F. F. P. Then the
space, light and convenience of approach
for supplies are unusually good.

The new Sign of the Rose will have a
floor space of 25x130 feet. The present
flight of steps leading up to 211 South
Broad street will be removed and the floor
lowered to the street level. A show-
window fourteen feet in width will afforti
a splendid opportunity for display. Be-
hind the flower shop proper^ will be a
designing room, with light from a glass
roof above. Back of this will be an-
other designing room, separated from
the first, where heavier work can be done.
In the rear of these designing rooms
will be the buying room, with splendid

be brought in from Walnut street. A
brick vault at one side suggests po&-
sibilities for floral' work made up but
not ready to deliver. Mr. Fox proposes
to rent the upper floors.

The style of the new Sign of the Eose
is to resemble closely the old English
style first introduced by Mr. Fox, with
its handsome mantels, rich carving, an-
tiques of great interest, and with its
lack of commercialism. This last feature
Mr. Fox has found it necessary to modify
somewhat. Work on the new Sign of_
the Rose will commence about July l'
and, it is expected, will be finished early
in the fall.

This departi^eht for the cirds of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the
facilities for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid
development of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and
so helpful 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.

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?

Cut flowers of all kinds are plentiful,
but carnations are showing the effect
of the hot weather. Peonies are arriv-
ing in quantity, but are soft and will
not hold. Roses are in excess of the
demand. The trade in the flower mar-
ket has not been up to the mark for the
last few days.

Various Notes.

Alfred Forder has just returned from
a trip in the east, in connection with
his landscape gardening.

44 TO 52 ARCADE, -

Sunday in May as Mothers' day, and,
in order to show interest in the day
and its purpose, the wearing of a white
carnation or the national colors was
recommended. If any florist laid in a
large stock of white carnations with
the expectation of disposing of them,
he was surely disappointed, because
hardly any oi^ these or other white
flowers or the national colors could
be seen worn by either sex, young
or old. It seems that the gearing
of flowers for such a day did not take
the fancy of the population and it is
hard to teW* jiv^^et^e^ ^t ever will.

As in other"'yea'rSj_ tlie local post of
the Grand A^iray sii the Republic will
decorate the graves oif their fallen com-
rades on Memorial day, but the de-
mand for wreaths and cut flowers is by
no TO0ans as large as iutW/WtJwii;^ cities.

ing for a few weeks ago, and most
of the greenhouse plants, especially fo-
liage plants, are placed under cooling
lattice frames.. It seems that the grow-
ing of small sized pot roses for whole-
sale and retail is taking a strong hold
among several of our local florists, and
there is no doubt that by fall the north-
ern shippers of these plants will find
here a strong competition, with prob-
ably a lowering of prices. Several
local growers are catering to the ship-
j).ng trade. There is apparently a great
field here for growing plants for that
purpose, especially the different vari-
eties of nephrolepis, adiantums, Cocos
plumosa and Weddelliana, phoenix, are-
cas, crotons, pandanus, poinsettias, etc.
All these are plants which grow fast
here and require no special attention

ninth annual meeting, Marblehead, Mass., June
20 to 22, 1011.

The fifth annual nieeting of the Iowa
Seed Dealers' Association will be held at
the Chamberlain hotel, at Des Moines,
Tuesday, June 6.

Arthur B. Clark, president of the
Everett B. Clark Seed Co., of Milford,
Conn., was elected president of the Mil-
ford Trust Co., May 5.

Stockholders of the Pieters-Wheeler
Seed Co., Hollister, Cal., held their an-
nual meeting May 13. L, "W. Wheeler
was elected president.

Eecent favorable weatlier has im-
proved the late crops in the vicinity of
Hollister, Cal. Eadish, however, is back-
ward. Onion and lettuce are looking
well.

Weather conditions in Holland since
the April freeze have been favorable to
the recovery of bulb and seed crops that
suffered injury in that unprecedented oc-
currence.

S. F, Leonard, of Leonard Seed Co.,
Chicago, and E. L. Page, of the Page
Seed Co., Greene, N. Y., are in Cali-
fornia. When last heard from they were
at Hollister.

Henry Nungesser & Co., New York,
have been sustained in a protest at the
assessment of duty on lupine seeds. The
Board of General Appraisers held that
yellow lupine seeds classified as seeds not
specially provided for should be admitted
free of duty as grass seeds, under para-
graph 668.

The eccentricities of the season are
upsetting the summer crop inspection
plans of W. Atlee Burpee. Because of
the lateness of the sweet peas in Cali-
fornia he abandoned his .Tune trip to the
coast and planned to sail June 28 for a
look at the European crops, leaving as
soon as possible after the sweet pea sKow
in Philadelphia and reaching London
before the show there. Although passage
has been engaged for himself and his
son, David, his plans may be again dis-
arranged should it be necessary to post-
pone the sweet pea show.

at the height of the season the rush
was the heaviest ever known and the
demand has continued later than usual.
Some individual experiences follow,

Amzi Godden Co., Birmingham, Ala.

We are pleased to say that our mail
order business this season has been very
satisfactory, that it has been at least
thirty-five i er cent to forty per cent
more than for the past season. Our mail
orders are still coming in nicely and the
inquiries are heavy for this season of
the year. One of the special features
is the fact that farmers are showing
that they intend to diversify their
planting and are ordering more grass
and forage crop seeds. Our trucking
business has increased very much. At
present our retaM store trade is very
fine, as we have a large plant business.

D. P. Durban.

H. G-. Hastings & Co., Atlanta, Ga.

Our season just closing has been very
satisfactory indeed. It seemed to open
a little slowly at first, but at the height
of the season the volume of business
was the largest that we have ever han- ,
died, and during the latter half of the
season trade has been far ahead of

SEVEN TOP TURNIP

C Originally introduced by us from South Carolina In 1850 and annually trrown for over
sixty years under the zero winter temperature of Bioomsdale Farms, the Landreths'
strain of Seven Top has obtained, by this northern culture, a hardiness not approached
by southern-grown seed. All inferences would point that way, while thousands of exper-
iments have conclusively proven It beyond a shadow of doubt; consequently, one pound
of Landreths' Seven Top will in the dead of winter produce more greens than can be cut
from three times the more delicate southern-grown Seven Top.

season we have ever had. Our season
commenced very late, due to the con-
tinued drought in this section of the
country for the last two years. During
the latter part of the summer and win-
ter of 1910 it seemed there was no
prospect of any more rain. People
had absolutely quit making any prepa-
rations for planting, and, in fact, had
abandoned the idea of using any more
seed until rains became more general.
Our rains commenced in the early part
of February, and from that time trade
has been all that could be expected. In
fact, we have never had such a rush
from all sections of the country, and it
still continues. Crops are good. The
stands of cotton and corn are complete,
and we are having ideal weather at the
present time. R. D.

Texas Seed &; Floral Co., Dallas.

We have found our mail order busi-
ness, which started with the first of
January, to be the best we have had
since we have been in business. During
February and March we were simply
snowed under with orders and found
it very diflBcult to keep up. We have
also had an exceptionally good season
in wholesale lines, especially with our
field seed department. We have sold
pnore cotton seed this season than ever
before.

We also have a large wholesale packet
trade and this line has also been unusu-
ally good, as we have had a great many
refill orders. We put out what is con-
sidered one of the handsomest lines of
lithographed packets on the market and
in addition to this we loan our custom-
ers display cases for them, which of
course helps a great deal. This display
cabinet is the nicest and most conve-
nient thing of the kind that we know of
being sent out in this country.

Just at this time we are having a
new warehouse constructed for our
wholesale and mail order business. This
house will be 100 x 150 feet, consisting
of three stories and basement; on one
side will have trackage for four or five
cars and on the other a wagon loading
dock 150 feet long. In this building we
will have elevators and recleaning ma-
chinery for all kinds of seeds, also a
special elevator -aad cleaning outfit for
our poultry food business, as we have

The Weekly Florists' Review.

Max 25, 1011.

A FAIR YEAR.

The Best Ever for Some.

With most of the mail order seeds-
men the early months of the season of
1911 proved more or less of a disap-
pointment, but the latter part of April
and the first part of May gave a much
better volume of orders than usually
come so late; the season did not run
off nearly so fast as it frequently does
after the big day has passed. It was
a season largely affected by weather
conditions; the weather remained cool
later than usual, midsummer following
the first few spring days. Here are
reports from some of the catalogue
houses:

H. W. Buckbee, Rockford, 111.

Business so far this season has been
fair, but not up to that of 1910.

Gregory & Son, Marblehead, Mass.

This has not been a bang-up year for
the seed trade. The trade during Feb-
ruary, March and April was about 20
per cent less than last year; the first
part of May was somewhat better than
last year, although it did not make up
for the loss the early part of the
season.

Johnson Seed Co., Philadelphia.

The mail order business has not been
up to last year, although it is hold-
ing on better than it did then, and as
our season here is five or six weeks
late, we may be able to bring it up
to the previous year. We, of course,
are very much rushed with counter and
nearbj' wholesale trade at present.

Northrup, King & Co., Minneapolis.

The first half of our mail order sea-
son was not quite as heavy as usual,
but toward the end trade is very much
better, and, on the whole, compares fa-
vorably with other seasons.

Walter P. Stokes, Philadelphia.

The seed trade with me was unusu-
ally good during January, February
and up to the middle of March. The
unseasonably cold weather at that time
gave it a setback, which lasted until
the middle of April, and business dur-
ing that period was very much retard-
ed from what it should have been.
Since then we are catching up, but
I do not believe the season will show
any adrance in volume over last year.

W. Atlee Burpee, Philadelphia.

January and February were both a
little ahead of a year ago, but March,
of course, was behind March of last
year, when we had such abnormally
warm weather. April showed consid-
erable gain and now in May the in-
crease in mail orders over a year ago
is something phenomenal. Altogether
I should say that the volume of busi-
ness will be practically the same as a
year ago- This certainly leaves noth-
ing for any reasonable man to com-
plain of, as last year's business was
probably the largest in the seed trade

'lol^r^ S«d4i*is/«Des ^i^SJSki^

During January, February and April
we received about ten per cent more
orders each month than during the cor-
responding months last year, but they
did not amount to quite so much money,
as the orders averaged smaller. Dur-
ing March there was a decrease of

about ten per cent, both in number
of orders and in amount received. This
difference in the trade is largely owing
to the fact that last season there was
an unusually heavy demand for seed
corn, there being a great shortage
throughout this seH;ion. This year the
demand is only normal. The local trade,
however, has this year far exceeded
last season, every month showing a
good, healthy growth. The thing par-
ticularly noticeable this year in the
mail orders is the large increase in the
demand for flowering and bedding
plants, both in the greenhouse plant
line and in herbaceous stock and small
roses. The demand for two-year-old
dormant roses and shrubbery is some-
what less th?.n last season.

BULB BUSINESS BOOMING.

J. Keur, of C. Keur & Sons, Hillegom,
Holland, is preparing to sail from New
York on the Lusitania, May 31. This
has been his seventeenth annual voyage
to America and, he says, the most suc-
cessful he has yet had in the number
and size of orders. Mr. Keur avers that
the market for Holland bulbs and
plants is increasing faster in America
than in any other country of the world.
He has found that the specific duty
of $1 per thousand on tulips is a con-
siderable help to the bulb salesmen; it
nets the government about as much
revenue as the old twenty-five per cent
ad valorem rate would do at current
prices for mixtures and leading bedding
and florists' sorts, but it relieves the
transaction with the custom house of
much of its difficulty. As Mr. Keur
puts it, "Anyone can count, though
not everyone can figure. ' '

It is not generally known, but Mr.
Keur is largely responsible for the re-
cent court decision fixing the rate of
duty on hyacinths at 50 cents per thou-
sand. Possibly others discovered the
loophole afforded by the grammatical
construction of the present tariff act,
but Mr. Keur was the first to take
action. It was because of his initiative
that one of his customers in Boston

You must have the best of

Lily Bulbs to produce good

flowers. You can not afford

to economize in the price of
Lily Bulbs as you could in
the price of garden hose,
because cheaper garden hose
would merely be less valu-

able; whereas an ugly plaht

or flower has no value at all.

Don't try to economize too
much on the first cost of Lily
Bulbs, because it does not
pay in the end. Most im-
porters, both famous and
infamous, buy where they
can buy cheapest, with little
regard for quality. There
are no bulbs produced with
more care than Horseshoe

ADULTERATED SEED REPORT.

Following the instructions of congress
in the agricultural appropriation bill,
the Secretary of Agriculture this year
continued the purchase of seed in the
open market to determine whether and
how much adulteration was practiced
by seed dealers. These samples were
analyzed and the names of offending
seedsmen have been published as Circu-
lar No. 35.

There were 1,214 samples of seed pur-
chased, some of them in bulk and some
by mail order. Of these 204 were found
to be adulterated. There was some im-
provement in the line of orchard grass
seed examined. There were 317 sam-
ples analyzed, and of these twelve were
found adulterated, compared with fifty-
five adulterated samples the previous
year.

Of the 371 samples of Kentucky blue-
grass seed examined, sixteen were adul-
terated, and of these thirteen samples
contained- only a fraction of one per
cent of genuine Kentucky bluegrass,
while the remainder was made up of
Canadian bluegrass, other seed and dirt.

This was the first year that analysis
had been made of redtOp seed. It was
found that this was badly adulterated
with timothy seed. Of 526 samples, 176
were advijterated. The percentage of
timottyticeed ran as high as ninety*'-
eight par ced>t, though this sample was
- wors^ than the average. ^ . • TJiitii

now popular and famous Freesia is the largest in this country. We have bulbs that have been grown
under glass (the illustration shows one of our houses), also bulbs grown by the originator, R. Fischer.
^^Both of these stocks are the true Purity stock, from which we receive our bulbs. The very highest
quality is guaranteed. The demand for this variety in all the wholesale markets is persistent and
univeFsal. Its popularity is undiminished; practically it has no competitor.

The best and most salable Freesia in the American and European markets. Our stock of this

The Weekly Florists' Review* *

May 25, 1911.

PACIFIC COAST.

Spokane, Wash.— Fred \V. Winters,
at First avenue and Lincoln street, has
filed a voluntary petition in bank-
ruptcy. His assets are said to amount
to $9,255.18, and his liabilities to $12,-
928.50.

Lawndale, Cal.— Speakman Bros., the
rose growers, are now well equipped for
their start in business here. They have
finished the erection of their new green-
house, 27x335 feet, and have completed
the planting of 5,500 Killarncy roses.

VICTOBIA, B. C.

The Trade in Bedding Stock.

The bedding trade locally is now in
full swing and is fulfilling expecta-
tions. Geraniums are the favorites,
single crimson Universe taking the
place occupied by S. A. Nutt in the
east. The latter variety does not show
a good color here. This is thought
by many to be due to its dislike of the
proximity to the sea, but I am inclined
to the belief that much of the stock
is not S. A. Nutt at all, but Marvel.
Coleus is extensively used, but does not
seem to be so great a success as in the
east. This is due, no doubt, to the
uniformly cool nights. The same may
be said of cannas, caladiums, castor
oil plants and, in fact, all the semi-
tropical plants so largely used for bed-
ding in the east.

As this is an ideal climate for peren-
nials, of course they are largely used
as garden plants and are highly satis-
factory. Bulbs, also, are so satisfac-
tory that they are largely used. With
snowdrops, crocuses and other like
bulbs in January and February, and
so on to the late varieties of narcissi
and tulips in June, the garden can
be kept gay at nothing more than the
original cost. Asters, which are per-
fectly free from disease and rarely
show the yellow center, are great favor-
ites. Ten weeks' and perennial stocks,
salvias, marguerites, herbaceous calceo-
larias, fuchsias, lobelias and, above all,
sweet peas, about cover the lines in
demand.

Spring is coming along slowly, and
the many visitors who are arriving,
expecting to find the broom, gorse, etc.,
in full glory, are being disappointed.

Club Notes.

The results of the organization of
the trade here are evident. Members
of the trade have been trying individu-
ally for years to right alleged griev-
ances in connection with the Provincial
Infectious Diseases Act, but without re-
sult. Now, after representation has been
made by the trade through the associa-
tion, A. J. Woodward has been ap-
pointed a member of the Provincial
Board of Horticulture, especially to
represent the florists' interests, and it
is confidently expected that many of
the objectionable features will be elimi-
nated.

There is "in» old and influential bo-
cieiy here, called the Victoria Horticul-
tural Society, which has for years re-
sisted all so-called reforms by indi-
vidual members of the trade. The
matter was discussed informally and
the increased cordiality of intercourse
made it possible for a united effort to

The Market.

There has been little change since
last week along business lines. Flowers
are slightly more plentiful and it seems
that prices are on the downward grade
again. Outside stock of all the sea-
sonable varieties is becoming a greater
factor than ever and the continued cool
spell is just right to show everything
at its best. Sweet peas are at the
height of their season and, though
among our most popular flowers, they
are brought into town in such profusion
that only a portion of them are used.

Inside stock, such as carnations and
roses, continue at almost the same
prices as for the last month, though, as
stated before, the tendency is down-

ward. Quite a lot of Easter lilies have
been sent to the stores during the last
week and they are inclined to move
rather slowly. Valley merely holds its
own. Spanish iris has not sold as well
as in former years. A few late-flower-
ing tulips help to enliven the shop win-
dows, but the public is apparently tired
of them.

Business, owing to the closing of the
schools and a fair amount of wedding
work, is not altogether bad, but in the
funeral line, which was one of the chief
assets in March and April, there is lit-
tle doing. From present indications,
Memorial day advance orders will be
quite up to the mark and, with such an
abundance of stock as we are sure to
have, there should be no trouble in
filling all requirements.

Fischer's Grand Freesia Purity

Now is the time to order your supniy of Flsclier's grand Freesia I'urity. 15e sure to ask
your dealer for Hscher s guaranteed stock grown by Iiim and supplied to you in his orlgi
""J. ^J25H^^?' '*"",. '•^L^ ^^°^^ 's never sold In bulk, but Is always packed by him In 100, 250
and 500 bulb muslin bags, stamped and indorsed by his signature. Insist upon getting his
guaranteed stock, for then you are sure you are getting the pure stock that Is grown in the
open field in the pure air and sunshine : is thoroughly ripened and absolutely free from
culls, and not stock that has been raised from its own seed, which never comes true, or
lathhouse grown, which is likely to rot in your benches, instead of growing, owing to the
very green, unripe state in which it is dug to get it ready for market in time, or stock
that is grown on contract and therefore with the least trouble to the grower, which will
very soon evolve itself Into a mixture little removed from refracta alba. Eternal vigi-
lance is absolutely necessary to keep it pure. Do not run any risk when you order your
Freesia Purity, for It is up to you whether you get the pure stock or a mixture.

To protect both you and himself, his stork this year is sold under guarantee in any
sized package to suit dealers, not exceeding 500 in any one package. A certificate of guar-
antee is enclosed in each package, and Rudolph Fischer's signature is on the outside of
package. If you want to get the true stock, insist upon getting it packed as above.

Your dealer will get It for you ; if not, write to me and I will tell you who will.

Mothers' day is quite an innovation

Mothers' day was an agreeable sur-

was a hard matter to sell pink and
it will take time to educate the gen-
eral public. Roses moved well after
the carnation market was depleted.

Flowers of all descriptions are scarce,
several weeks of dark, rainy weather
having practically shut off the supply.
Carnations are developing slowly and
do not nearly fill the demand. Roses
are in good quality, but quantity lis
lacking, and all other flowers are propor-
tionately scarce, especially the garden
product. With Decoration day only
a few days away, it looks like a dearth
in every variety, and, although peonies
are coming slowly, it will take several
days of sunshine to give the proper
development.

There is practically nothing in small
potted stock, the unusual demand hav-
ing used the entire available supply.

CUCUMBEBS AND MELONS.

Can cucumbers and melons be suc-
cessfully and profitably grown on
raised benches in greenhouses, if
planted to succeed the last crop of let-
tuce in the spring? What varieties
should be usedf When should they be
planted so as to realize the best prices?
Please outline their culture. J. M.

The demand for hothouse melons is
light and. the profits are not usually al-
together satisfactory. They are also a
difficult crop to handle so as to produce

them in perfection and should be grown
only by those who have had some, ex-
perience. Do not try many at first.
There are many varieties which force
well. The Rocky Ford types are good.
Paul Rose did well last year for me.
Milwaukee Market is also good.

Cucumbers are easier to grow and
more profitable. If you plant your
seed a month previously, you will have
nice, strong 4-inch plants to put in the
beds, when the last of the lettuce is
gone and the soil has been well man-
ured and spaded under. Raised benches
are better than solid beds, but more
expensive. The selected and forcing
strains of White Spine cukes for in-
door growing are the kinds to order.
All dealers now list forcing strains,
and it is hard to say which is the best.
They require a temperature of 66 to 68
degrees at night and 85 degrees in th^
daytime, for the best results. If yon
can not keep the temperature above
65 degrees at night, do not plant until
later. Single plants are placed eighteen
to twenty-four inches apart in the rows.

Select Potted Roses

FOR OUTDOOR PLANTING

The Rosea here offered are field grown plants which have been potted into 5 or 6-inch pots (according to the growth
of the variety) during the winter months. They have been stored in cold houses and cold frames and are in the best pos-
sible condition to turn over to your retail customers fo^ outdoor planting, giving an entirely different result from stock
carried over winter in storage. For best results the plants should be shipped in pots ; in this shape they will carry safely
to reasonable distances by freight.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

If the present hot, dry weather con-
tinues much longer, the flower market
will hardly be worth visiting. How-
ever, there is some nice stock coming
in yet, especially in the way of outside
stock. The outside valley was excep-
tionally fine this year, though short-
lived, of course, and soon used up.
Wedding orders are already beginning
to fill up the order hooks and there has
been a great deal of funeral work in
the last few weeks. Bedding and the
filling of porch boxes and baskets have
kept a good many of the florists on the
jump.

Memorial day is looming up as an-
other big day for the retailer and plans
for a general, cooperative advertisement
of the day are under way. Every florist
who invested in the Mothers' day ad-
vertising of this sort is well satisfied
with results, and it did a great deal
toward increasing the interest in the
flower show next November.

* Various Notes.

The Florists' Club held a meeting in
the club rooms Monday evening, May
22. There was a good attendance, con-
sidering the hot weather. It seems that
the present quarters are entirely inade-
quate for the membership and not at all
up to the standard of the club.

C.D.F.

Frovldence, B. I.— Thomas Tullie has
just completed the erection of an 11-
room residence at his place in Edge-
wood. He has had an excellent spring
trade in potted plants. He now has
about 12,000 geraniums and 25,000 as-
sorted plants in first-class condition.

SOUTHINGTON, CONN.

The Market.

Business has kept up steadily since
llaster. The good weather has brought
along the outdoor stock in fine shape.
Bulbous stock and violets are nearing
an end. Carnations took a back seat
lant week. Sweet peas are abundant
and as popular as ever. The trade in
bedding plants seems now to take the
lead. Lilacs are in full bloom. It
is almost impossible to get valley.

Funeral work keeps up well. Many
weddings last week also brought work
to the florist. Many have been kept
busy filling window boxes for private
homes.

Various Notes.

William Fischer is back at his green-
houses again, at Milldale. He recently
underwent an operation at the Meriden
hospital. His friends are glad to see
him out again.

Olson & Lunden report business fine.
Mothers' day was a big success.

B.

Guilford, Conn. — Branford A. Latham
is erecting a greenhouse at his resi-
dence, on Graves avenue. He is con-
ducting a considerable business in
plants and cut flowers.

Ishpeming, Mich. — Trebilcock Bros.,
who for some time have been looking
for a site for a new greenhouse estab-
lishment, have now purchased a lot,
50x150 feet, on North Third street, be-
tween North and Vine streets. The
location is said to be a fine one.

The Market.

The extremely hot weather last week
had a depressing effect on the sale of
flowers. Eoses and carnations are not
first-class. Sweet peas are on the mar-
ket by the thousand, and plenty of
other outdoor flowers can be bought
cheaply. Peonies are opening up fast
and it is doubtful whether many will
be left for Memorial day. With the
possible exception of peonies, however,
thqre will be plenty of flowers of all
kinds for Memorial day.

Various Notes.

The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. says
that business has been good. This
firih is cutting lots of stock and will
not have to buy anything for Memorial
day.

Ben Kramer has had a good run of
trade and looks for a good Memorial
da;j' business.

Louis Fritsch has been busy right
alobg. He has some of the best carna-
tions on the market.

Nellie Goodge is busy planting out
in the cemetery. E. L. P.

New London, Conn. — Edward W.^
Clark furnished the palms for the deco-
ration of the dancing academy in Lyric
hall, for the Billikin Club's dance.

Eockford, 111.— H. W. Buckbee had
a wonderfully fine lot of Harrisii for
Easter, carrying six, eight and ten
flowers to the plant, with some having
even twelve and fourteen flowers.

Various Notes.

Mrs. J. F. Sullivan, who was seriously
injured in an automobile accident, is
now past the danger point. For some
time Mrs. Sullivan's life was despaired
of, and it was only her strong constitu-
tion and grit that pulled her through.

On Monday, May 29, B. Schroeter
will open for business in temporary
quarters at 90 Broadway, pending the
completion of the new store and con-
servatory, just opposite the old store at
56 Broadway.

Miss Hattie Holzhauer has acquired
the interest of E. Bleil in the Flower
Shop and is now the sole proprietor of
the flourishing new establishment.

Work was commenced on Breit-
raeyer's new store, adjoining their pres-
ent location, last Monday. When com-
pleted, this will be one of the finest
flower stores in the country. H. S.

PITTSBURO, PA.

With the thermometer ranging around
85 to 95 degrees, the less said about
the cut flower business the better, ex-
cept to mention incidentally that stock
is showing the effects of the heat, and
the wholesalers are receiving such quan-
tities that the end going to the garbage
man is not the small end. The con-
tinued hot weather, however, had the
opposite effect on the planl^smen, who
were never pushed so hard in the mid-
dle of May. One prominent florist^re-
marked Saturday night that he wished
it would freeze, to teach some people
that they might have given him a lit-
tle more time to make deliveries.

Much of the stock being shipped to
the wholesalers at present is worthless
when it arrives; some boxes on being
opened are so hot that one can scarcely
put his hand into them.

Samuel McClements, of Randolph &
McClements, has been confined to his
home for several days with a severe
cold. He has been trying to keep up
with the plant rush the last two weeks,
but it got the best of him.

Hoo-Hoo.

Belfast, Me. — Last season Willis E.
Hamilton, who had built up quite a
seed department, turned that branch
over to anothe* seed store, to give all
his attention to the florists' end, which
he found best worth pushing and which
this year is going forward faster than
ever.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

Mat 25, 1911.

BALTIMORE.

The Market. ' * • ' Iv,
Last week the somewhat overdue an-
nual spring glut put in its appearance,
and practically all lines of stock be-
cariie overabundant. Carnations held
their own fairly well until toward the
end of the week, when prices melted
away. The overstock was most serious
in roses, and carnations led the proces-
sion downward. It is noteworthy that
the crops have been fairly heavy and
that the quality has deteriorated until
only a small part is really first-class.

This week started with carnations at
a rather lower level than at any time
last week, and with no improvement
in the rose situation. Sweet peas also
congest the market, but the better
grades are selling remarkably well,
when the general situation is taken
into account. There are large receipts
of excellent peas and satisfactory prices
are received for them.

Peonies are not in heavy supply at
present, but the outlook is promising
for Decoration day, which will soon
be upon us. The prospects for a rat-
tling good business have never been
better, and with anything like good
weather there ought to be a good sup-
ply of first-class stock of just the kind
that the buyers want for that day.

The last few years have taught us
that Decoration day business is good
business, and that it is wise to be pre-
pared for it just as well as for Easter
and Christmas. Each year this business
has grown till now it usually cleans out
everything that comes into the market.
Owing to the extremely dry weather,
the peony crop will not be quite as
heavy as in previous years, but we
hope to have enough to take care of
the business. Q.

Greenhouse Heating.

If "Old Subscriber," who uses a Ma-
honey boiler, will send his full name and
addi'ess an effort will be made to answer
his inquiry. Anonymous questions never
can be answered.

INSTALLING NEW PIPING.

I have a greenhouse 22x5U, full-span,
running north and south, four feet high
to the eaves and ten feet to the apex.
The sides are of stone, pierced to pro-
vide for ventilators, 1x3 feet, three on
each side. The south end is all glass;
the north end is joined to the potting
shed. The greenhouse is an old-fash-
ioned one and is heated with the old
system of 4-inch pipes under the
benches at the sides. The benches ex-
tend the whole length at the sides and
half the distance in the center.

I wish to install new piping, to main-
tain a temperature of 50 degrees when
the outside temperature is 5 degrees
below zero. I am located in southern
Rhode Island. »I have a hot water
boiler, nearly new. I can not state its
capacity, but am sure it is adequate. I
am planning to use two 3-inch flows,
hanging from the purlins over the
paths, and each connected to twelve 2-
inch returns, six down the front of
the side bench and six down the back,
three above and three below the sur-
face of the bench. Or should both sets
be an equal height from the floor I
"Would that piping be sufficient to main-
tain the temperature desired? I ex-
pect to clear out the 4-inch pipes alto-
gether and to use the house for carna-
tions. S. W. S.

The radiation suggested in the query
more than will be required, as the
acoired temperature can be obtained
by the use of two 2 1^ -inch flow pipes
and ten 2-inch returns. It is always ad-
visable to have the coils as nearly
at the same level as possible. The
flow pipes may be either on the purlins
or on the side walls, as preferred.

The unseasonably hot weather brought
on an avalanche of stock of all descrip-

supply of roses, owing to replanting op-
erations, would be reduced considerably,
but that seems to cut no figure at this
time. The supply of carnations, which

May 25, 1911.

are still of good quality, is away ahead
of the demand. Then there is all the
outdoor stock, such as lilac and valley,
which is in its prime at this time, which
undoubtedly replaces greenhouse-grown
flowers in many cases, and helps to
make matters worse, from a florist's
standpoint. Even the peonies which
come up from Illinois hang fire most
of the time. Every day one can see
quite a few good callas make their
exit to the dump. Eeally fine snap-
dragons are also moving slowly.

Various Notes.

From what we can learn at this
time, the joint meeting of the Chicago
and Milwaukee Florists' Clubs will be
held at the Blatz hotel. In view of
the fact that Mr. Keimel, of Wendland
& Keimel, will read a paper on rose
growing, the local boys should all be
on hand to learn a lesson.

At the C. C. Pollworth plant in Wau-
WHitosa they finished planting carna-
tions into the field May 20.

Outside of tending to the numerous
shipping orders in the bedding stock
line, the help at the Holton & Hunkel
place, at Humboldt avenue, is busy pot-
ting up a carload of palms, ficus, box-
wood and the like.

Arthur Lemke, aged 23, who for some
time conducted a flower store at 581
Downer avenue, took his own life May
15, by taking carbolic acid. Business
difficulties, no doubt, were the direct
cause. Not being married, he made his
home with his parents.

Martin Reukauf, representative for
Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, called
on the local trade last week.

a good-sized wedding decoration for
Appleton, Wis., for the latter part of
next week. E. O.

Boone, la. — J. Loehrer, of the Boone
Greenhouses, reports that this vicinity
was visited on the afternoon of May
19 by the worst hail storm he ever
experienced. Of his 7,000 square feet
of glass, he is doubtful whether 2,000
feet are left unbroken. He carries no
insurance. Much damage was also done
to the plants in the houses.

"THAT IS THE BOILER 1 HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR"

The points of merit that appealed to the judges and the critical visitors were that the fire-
box is entirely surrounded by water, there being no brick work to require constant repair;
every part of the boiler is easily accessible for cleaning and oiling, which is the most impor-
tant feature to be considered in purchasing a boiler that is idle during the summer months ;

The special nozzles, eet in the overhead pipes, spray the water in

The most delicate foliage cannot be injured; the ground
does not cake and crack, but keeps soft and porous,

MEBIDEN, GONN.

The Market.

Business was rather quiet last week.
Funeral orders, which were plentiful
during the winter and early spring,
have droppea off.

The outdoor stock is coming on finely
and, owing to the scarcity of other
stock, it sells well. The weather has
been fine, and planters have been tak-
ing advantage of it and hurrying the
work along. Lilacs are in full bloom
and, if the weather continues warm,
we are afraid they will be gone by
Memorial day. Carnations seem to be
the best selling flower in the market.
Geraniums, as usual, are in heavy de-
mand. There is still a great sale of
pansies.

Various Notes.

The Blatchley Co. had an unusually
fine window display of fancy ferns
and cut flowers last week.

John Bonell has been doing great
work during the last week with his
bedding plants and cut flowers.

Abiram Chamberlain, a former gov-
ernor of Connecticut, died May 15. The
family requested that flowers be omitted
at the funeral.

Mothers' day was observed in a num-
ber of the churches in this city, some
of the clergymen delivering remarks
in reference to the event. Many of
the gentlemen appeared at church with
white carnations in their button holes.
The day was also observed at the Y. M.
C. A., and writing material was there
at the service of those who wished to
address a postal to their mothers.

The paries of Meriden are being laid
out in their summer robes. Other cities
may have larger parks than Meriden,
but few of them show a livelier display
of flowers in the shape of beds and
borders.

B. W. Barrow has a large window
full of metallic wreaths. B.

KALISPELL, MONT.

The Review had not a little to do
in bringing Mothers' day to the fore in
Montana. Governor Norris issued a
proclamation couched in beautiful lan-
guage and the day was reverently ob-
served by the use of white and colored
blossoms, carnations predominating, al-
though rosebuds were in free demand.
In this city, the Kalispell Gardens had
their bushes cleaned and the florists
generally feel indebted to The Review
for its enterprising boost.

Rain is badly needed in the Flathead
regions and a repetition of last sum-
mer's drought would mean great loss
to agriculturists.

A. Salmon has erected an up-to-date
range of houses and the plant is being
doubled at the Kalispell Gardens.

BOUNDBBOOK, N. J.

This town is fast becoming "a house-
hold horticultural word." Ralph M.
Ward, the lily man, lives in one of the
swell mansions of this junction city,
the city where all the trains stop — 100
to 200 of them every day. Away over
near the mountains are the sweet pea
domains of A. C. Zvolanek. The sons
of Smith, of Woodside, L. I., make this
city their growing headquarters. The
immense orchid, gardenia and rose plant
of Thomas Young, Jr., is only half a
mile from the depot.

Last, but not least, the Wadley Nur-
series are doing their share in making
the town famous. The firm consists of
A. W. Wadley, president; E. W. Wad-
ley, vice-president; A. S. Goodenough,
treasurer, and E. P. Bryan, Jr., secre-
tary. They do an immense landscape
business, and make a specialty of the
moving of large trees. Over 100 acres
are under cultivation. The company
also has a large retail cut flower store
in Plainfield, N. .T., under the special
care of A. W. Wadley, known familiarly
as "Bert" among his New York and
New Rochelle friends. Albert Wadley,
Sr., of the old firm of Siebrecht & Wad-
ley, New York, has made Plainfield his
home for several years.

J. Austin Shaw.

NEW CASTLE, IND.

On Wednesday, May 17, Patrick J.
Lynch, head of the Heller Bros. Co.,
purchased nine acres of the Elliott
farm addition, on which he will erect
a large range, to care for the greatly
increasing business of his company.
With the announcement of this deal
comes the further statement that work
on the plant will begin at once and
will be rushed to a hurried completion.

In the beginning Mr. Lynch will
build two long greenhouses, each 35x500
feet. He has already ordered 100,000
feet of glass and the other materials
for these two houses. He states that it
is his plan to make the establishment
one of the largest in the middle west.
In addition to the greenhouses, he will
erect on the south side of the newly
acquired tract a number of dwellings
for the convenience of employees and
for business purposes.

The Heller Bros. Co. is a separate
and distinct concern from the South
Park Floral Co. The latter is con-
trolled by Myer Heller and is a cut
flower company. The two businesses
have been under the same roof, which
is owned by the South Park company.

FURNISHED in continuous lengths of^ooTeet.
An exceptionally high grade hose manufactured
, with a woven jacket insertion instead of cotton
duck, and with specially selected rubbenn the inner
tube and cover.'"

The woven jacket constructwn makes a stronger
hose than can be obtained from cotton duck, and I
absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening
at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on
cotton duck. This construction also gives a more
flexible hose and reduces the possibility of kinking. '

"Magic" Hose is guaranteed to stand a pressure
of 500 pounds per square inch, although its bursting j
pressure is far in excess ot this.

The Market.

A week of warm weather has had
a depressing effect upon the cut flower
trade, and made carnations pale and
small. Outdoor lilacs are pouring into
the market, but there is little demand
for them. Most flowers are used for
funerals and commencements at pres-
ent, as there were few weddings of any
note this month.

The demand for white carnations for
Mothers' day was small this year, com-
pared with other years. Indoor valley
is scarce and is selling for $4 per hun-
dred, while outdoor valley has begun
to arrive in small quantities. Roses are
plentiful and low in price.

Various Notes.

The Wm. Scott Co., of Corfu, N. Y.,
is shipping some fine large centaureas
into this market and they bring a good
price.

Few cities can boast of as fine an
avenue of magnolias as we have in
Oxford street. The trees are so beau-
tiful at this time of year with their gay
blossoms that people travel miles to see
them.

A unique display was shown in the
window of Geo. Boucher's store last
week. It was a bit of landscape work
laid out by J. H. Werdein and elicited
much favorable comment.

Thomann Bros, have gone out of the
retail flower business to engage in land-
scape gardening.

E. J. Fancourt, of the S. S. Pennock-
Meehan Co., of Philadelphia, was in
town last week.

Miss Lillian Wheeler, of the Roch-
ester Florsd Co., is assisting at the
branch store for a few weeks.

Ted Ogston, formerly of J. B. Kel-
ler's Sons, has entered the employ of
Geo. Haring.

F. J. Keller, Walter Salmon, Geo.

on the jury for the last two weeks.

CLEVELAND.

Florists' Annual May Party.

To say that the florists' fondest ex-
pectations were realized is putting it
mildly. On Thursday evening, May 11,
they held their annual May party at
the Chamber of Industry, 2514 Frank-
lin avenue, and while the weather was
not the- best, the attendance was large.
The committee arranged for seventy-
five people, and about 150 came to en-
joy themselves. The Chamber rooms
are most admirably adapted for an oc-
casion of this kind. The auditorium is
spacious enough to accommodate a large
gathering, and the floor was as slippery
as science could make it. This room
was beautifully decorated with palms
and huckleberry vines, and also with
tall vases of roses, snapdragons and
Spanish iris. In the ladies' rest room
was a large vase of American Beauty
roses, and likewise in the men's room.

In the basement, the billiard tables
and the bowling alleys were kept busy
by those not wishing to dance. On the
second floor a card room was arranged
for those seeking that form of pleasure.
The orchestra was so arranged that the
music could be enjoyed by all in the
various parts of the building.

Exactly at 10:30 the floor manager
announced that the banquet tables were
ready and asked that about one-half be
seated at a time, while the balance re-
mained where they pleased, so as to
keep everything going constantly.

One of the principal features of the
evening was the grand march, which
consumed half an hour. The circle two-
steps helped materially to put every
one at ease and remove any formality.
Everyone seemed to feel as if he had
been requested to put the lights out, as
no one left until the grand finale.

As a climax to the occasion, someone
suggested three cheers for the mem-
bers of the committee, and they humbly
accepted a most rousing ovation.

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. — Adolph Do-
nart has purchased the lot directly
across the street from his greenhouses
on Second street and will remove his
residence to the new property. He in-
tends, also, to double the capacity of
his greenhouses this summer and to
make a number of improvements. Busi-
ness is good, both wholesale and retail.

Pecky Csrpresa is the greatest money
■aver discovered in years. Will last at
least three times aa long as any other
wood for bench material. We can make
immediate shipmenta at all times from
our large stock.

About This House and Another we are Building
For John Stephenson's Son, Philadelphia.

SOILING its description rijjht down to a few words,
it reads lilie this: 36 feet wide, 210 feet long,
with Guaran.eed Wrought Iron P sts imbedd^

in concrete footings and partly so in the sides-
Plate is the L. & B. Patented, Ice-clearing one, bolted to
the post by a strong iron fitting— Bars fastened to the
plate by Sash Bar clasps, making a sin ng, dry joint.

Roof supported by Giant Arcli, formed by clamping
together the pipe coluoins, purlins and
cross ties.

Purlins firmly bolted to gable rafter

by a special iron fitting and secured to

the roof bars by metal binding straps.

Bars are held at ridge by Wrought

Iron Ridge Brackets.

In other words, it is practically an

I Iron Frame House. Next to our Sec-

all

JuBt a rough line section to give you an Idea
of the location of the columns and compression
trass In the 72-foot Iron framei'.

tional Iron Frame Construction it is the best one to build.
From one of our Pipe Frame Houses to an Iron Framer
is but the natural thing; the logical thing to do. So now
we aie building an Iron Frame one for Mr. Stephenson,
that is 72 feet wide and 400 feet long. The house will
have but four columns. The two center ones carry a
compression truss (not a tension one, mind you). This
truss is not pulled and stretched into position to draw
the house together. It carries a strain
only when some extra strain is
brought to bear on it. The more the
strain then, the tighter and stronger
a bracing it becomes.

Let us send you a more detailed
description of this particvilar house,
along with a blue print of it.

Strong — All Steel — No Cast Parts to Snap and Break — ^The
House That You Wifl Surely Want When You Know About It

For a long time we have experimented with improved types of Green-
house construction and after making many tests and spending much time
and money we are placing this house on the market. It is the strongest
and lightest house to be had. It is the easiest to put up. It is the most
durable. Each side of frame set up complete and coated with a special
paint before shipping. The only iron frame house that can be put up
right by inexperienced help. All parts of frame independent of gutters
or roof woodwork. No wooden parts to the trusses as in other forms. No
need to adjust trusses after set up. No Cast Iron parts to snap and
break under snow and wind pressure. Any style of gutter or sash bar
can be used. And, what is more important—

This House Costs Little More than the Ordinary Type with Pipe Supports for the Roof

It does not pay to spend good money for g^lass, paint, heating^, labor, etc., on a poor frame-
work. The framework is important and should be the best. WRITE FOR ESTIMATE.

When You Wake Up

to the fact that you need a better watering system, the first question that will present itself to you is,

i4

How Much Will It Cost?"

You have to pay a fair price for anything worth having. If you begin by buying a cheaply made
Pumping Engine at $60.00 or $70.00, you are going to pay the difference between it and a reliable
machine many times over for repairs. You're going to lose money because your stock has not been
thoroughly watered. You're going to lose money by a crop failure, when your machine breaks down in
the midst of a busy season. You're going to lose money through having to pay for numerous repairs.

= BUT ==

if you get a Standard Pumping Engine you will pay a little more in the first place but you will have
a machine which you can depend upon, which will enable you to do the best watering at the least time
and running cost, and which will cost you practically nothing for repairs.

The Standard line has a gas or gasoline engine pump or an electric motor pump that just
meets your requirements. cataioeue on request.

AS OTHEBS SEE IT.

Criticisms on tbe Cross.

One of The Eeview's subscribera
recently suggested that it would be
a good idea to devote a little
space in the paper now and then to the
reproduction of photographs of designs,
for criticism by other readers. To aid
in putting his idea into practice, the
subscriber submitted a picture of a
standing cross, as the first object of.
friendly attack. The picture appeared
in The Keview of May 11 and is repub-
lished here, with some criticisms which
have been offered.

As a rule I do not like to criticise
other people's work, as my own ideas
and my own work are so susceptible to
criticism, but since you invite your
readers to express their opinion about
the design reproduced in the issue of
May 11, I shall make an attempt at it.

In the first place, I think the design,
for its size, is too clumsy in appearance
to be called artistic. The designer would
have obtained a better result by leav-
ing out the cycas leaves on the upper
part of it; just two cycas leaves, one a
little shorter than the other, put in the
base of the design, would have been
sufficient. Undoubtedly too many flow-
ers and also too many different kinds
of them were used. For instance, had
the designer omitted the lilies — though
he might have put some of them in the
base, on longer stems — and made the
cross up loosely of roses in one color,
and hyacinths, it would have been a
prettier piece. Another effective way
of finishing a cross, in order to get dis-
tinctness of shape in the design, is to
fill it out solidly with carnations, bor-
dering it with smilax or any other kind
of green and arranging a bouquet of
roses or any other cluster of flowers
loosely in the center of it.

I think it is a good idea to criticise
each other's handiwork in this way, if
it can be done without causing any
one to feel offended, for by doing so we
may all be more or less benefited.

M. Z.

"J. E. Jay," the designer of the
piece that is under discussion, ought
to have a medal voted to him for offer-
ing himself as a sacrifice on the altar
of improvement. I understand that the
manager of the American Screw Works
employs a woman at a good salary just
to walk around the factories to find
fault; the result is perfect work.

"Mr. Jay" has turned out a beauti-
ful cross, but the base is too light; it
ought to spread out more. The callas
should be stemmed long and placed in
the base, to give it a heavier effect.
The two long cycas leaves are entirely
out of place, as they throw the heavy
part of the base up to the arms. The
right arm is too short by one-third.

APPLIED PEINCIPLES.

In Decorative Art.

"What is the difference in principle
between the art of decorating the in-
terior of buildings and the art of floral
funeral work, if any? The simplest
way to get at this question will be to
compare some of the requisites of a
good funeral piece with those of some
detail of a correct house or church
decoration. First, there are color quali-
fications; there must be harmony in the
proposed association of colors. This
can certainly be just as positively ap-
plied to a mantel decoration as to a
casket pillow, with the added provision
that the mantel decoration, besides being
harmonious within its own color range,

must also blend with the colors about
it, in wall and woodwork.

Flowers to be used together in a
funeral spray need to be approximately
the same in size and general appear-
ance, except where a decided contrast
is intended; so, also, in a centerpiece;
ditto with foliage in both cases.

A star, to be a star, must be well
outlined and pointed, distinct and
exact; so must a wedding bell. A
funeral spray ought to be loose, natur-
ally arranged, yet securely fastened
and easily handled; likewise the bride's
bouquet.

Essentially Alike.

Perhaps we may fail to find a parallel
to a wall festoon, but think a moment
— what about a casket garland? One
hangs from a picture hook and the
other from a casket handle, but the

proportions of the drop to the horizon-
tal are the same in either case if they
are correctly hung.

A table centerpiece is constructed on ,
the same plan as a casket panel, except
for a few minor mechanical differenced,
and a mantel pan is the same, only
more so. A tall handled basket will
serve equally well for a funeral offer-
ing and a reception table. If you can
tell me the difference of principle in
the filling of a funeral urn and a tall
vase for a music room, I will tell you
the differenie between a rainbow and
its reflection.

Thus we might go on indefinitely
and merely discover that the principles
and laws are the same, but that the
applications are more extended in the
case of house decorative work, in about'
the proportion of a house to a casket.
The field is widened and you are more
responsible, but you will find satisfac-
tion in the fact that things stay put,
while among a collection of funeral
pieces you may find your best effort
poked into a corner by some incompe-
tent amateur friend of the family.

Decorating a Boom.

Some suggestions growing from the
subject of design in general, and ap-
plied to room decorations, may here be
noted. Choose one place in a room in
which to center your decorations. Touch
other points in the room with less em-
phasis and connectedly with the cen-
tral point. Some axioms growing from
this are: Do not touch many points in
the room; carry a strain of the same
color through all the stopping points
in the room; avoid points much above
the eye line, unless leading lines from
the center of the decoration lead to ■
them. A decoration, to be ideal, should
be "catchy" as well as correct, and
this quality of catchiness is best de-
veloped by the witchery of your color-
ing; most notably is this true of land-
scape scenery. Avoid points which are
located much below the eye line; re-
member that the room, when filled with
people, will have an entirely different
appearance from what it has when you
alone are gazing at your decoration
from a well chosen point of view. All
this presupposes that in undertaking the
decoration you have a definite picture
in mind for each room and have the de-
tails well arranged. Then it will not
take long to estimate the required
amount of material.

With apologies to the title of this
article, we will devote a little space to
the policy of the subject and a little to
a financial phase of the decorative busi-
ness.

A Question of Policy.

One of the first things to be deter-
mined is whether the hostess has any
plan or color scheme of her own^which
she prefers. If so, and if it is prac-
tical, it is your business to proceed
with it. Whether she asks your opinion
or not, if you find it unsuitable or im-
practicable, do not hesitate to inform
her, as tactfully yet decidedly as you
can, being prepared with some better
scheme. In most cases she will defer
to your judgment.

Often the bride has some sentiment
which she wishes to convey in the deco-
ration. For instance, at one time I
was requested to embody a cross as the
center of a wedding altar decoration.
Seeing- that the failure of her cherished
plan might seriously interfere with her
satisfaction, I complied. Her thought

seemed afterward to be strangely pro-
phetic, as a few weeks after their wed-
ding bride and groom both died of
diphtheria!

At another time a bride desired that
a large harp, which her father had long
used, should be set prominently among
the wedding decorations. It was accord-
ingly mounted as the background for
the wedding party. A large bowl of

roses was placed on the top of the
standard. A shower of fine green traces
took its source from the rose bowl,
falling over and among the strings.
With these were thin garlands of rose-
buds reaching from the same point on
the harp to the windows at either side
and ending lightly among the lace
draperies. A few ferns grouped about
the base of the harp completed the
decorations of the ceremony room.

The bride's favorite color or flower
is often asked for as a special feature
of the decoration and her preferences
should be respected if possible.

A Question of Finance.

One of the most intangible and yet
necessary elements of decorative work
is your estimate of the time which you
will need to complete the work. Esti-
mate as accurately as you can by the
amount of experience you have had,
make some allowance for unexpected
delays, and watch the clock as you
progress. Any number of incidents
and stray guests about the house will
break in if you allow them, but you
can be courteous and busy, too. De-
cline volunteer help and whip yourself
up if you find that time is getting away
too fast.

It may be the estimating that is
bothering somebody. Is not your eye-
sight as accurate in one place as an-
other? You can tell roughly how many
carnations will be required for a pillow
of a certain size. Why not know how
many of the same flowers will grace a
buflfet properly? A lump price for each
room, or, if need be, each feature of
the room, with mention of the principal

material to be employed, will be found
the most satisfactory way in pricing a
decoration. This is supposed to include
the flowers, the greens, the accessories,
the skill and the time.

Competition in the real sense of the
word is scarcely possible jn decorative
work, or funeral work, either. No two
would do the work exactly alike. The
customer can not be sure in advance
which of two competitors will do the
better job for the money. Decorating
is as indefinite a term as gowning.
Other things being equal, the one who
seems to be the better informed will
land the job. Moral: Be well posted
and brimful of ideas. Have plenty of
schemes and talk them rather than the
quantity of flowers, but do not go too
much into detail. Tell enough to in-
spire interest, but keep the most in re-
serve till your job is landed. It is
often a good plan to submit several
different schemes which cover a wide
range of prices. G. B.

BETAIL MAIL OBDEBS.

Day by day the flower business is
broadening; it is no longer the local
affair of a few years ago. Nowadays a
retail florist reaches to the ends of the
earth for his business — not for the bulk
of his business, but for some of the
extra orders that are so welcome.

In these June days, when the brides'
bouquets occupy so large a part of the
attention, it is interesting to note the
line in the advertisement of a Chicago
retailer: "Specially packed for ex-
press at no extra charge." Chicago is
the home of the mail-order industry,
you know. No reason why the Chicago
retailers should not share in the mail
business. This one is after his share.
The advertisement appeared in a Sun-
day newspaper that circulates for hun-
dreds of miles around Chicago.

THE BBIBE'S BOUQUET.

This is the time of year when the
bride's bouquet is in greatest demand,
and the work of leading retailers in
this line always is of interest. Here is
an illustration showing an excellent
shower bouquet which reached The Ee-
view some time since, with no marks
of identification. The materials used
were white orchids and valley, with
some tips of asparagus strings. The
work is especially commendable be-
cause it avoids the flat, bunchy effect
which gives an undesirable appearance
of weight.

MOBE ABOUT FATHEBS' DAY.

In The Eeview of May 25 I read with
interest the article by Mrs. L. M. Smith
regarding a day to be set apart as
Fathers' day, and gladly will I second
such a nomination. I have spoken often
of it and wished we could have a
Fathers' day. Why not? Father is
worthy of it. I agree also with Mrs.
Smith in thinking that the stately,
sturdy chrysanthemum would be the
flower and that the second Sunday in
November would be a good time."

So let us try to have a day set apart
to do honor to dear old father. He
may faithfully tread the pathway of
life, bearing its burdens ungrudgingly
and cheerfully, and yet go down to his
grave "unhonored and unsung," but
he will be missed and mourned, never-
theless, in the cold, gray days when he
can no longer answer the call for his
services, and he will receive his reward

on the other shore. Mother is worthy
of her day; she already has it; but
father, though he also is an indispens-
able factor in the blessedness of home,
is too often forgotten, or at least is
sometimes not appreciated. In my case,
as in that of thousands of others,
though father has been dead many,
many long years, yet scarcely a day
goes by without thoughts of him, and in
all sincerity I hope to have a Fathers'
day appointed, with the chrysanthemum
as the flower.

Mrs. H. L. Phelps.

I was just reading in The Eeview the
item and suggestion of a Fathers' day.
I think it is just as fair to have a
Fathers' day as a Mothers' day, for
the one memory is as dear as the other.
And I think the chrysanthemum would
be just the flower and November, the
second Sunday, just the day. So there-
fore I second the motion of Mrs. L. M.
Smith. Mrs. E. K. Stokesberry.

A male reader sends the following
(no claim to originality) in answer to
suggestion for response in last issue:

agree with her date and flower.

CALOT'S DUCHESSE.

J. H. Humphreys, in charge of the
arrangements for the exhibition of the
American Peony Society at Philadel-
phia, June 8 and 9, writes:

"Will you please mention that in
Class 14, the Duchesse de Nemours
should be Calot 's or the white type, and
not Guerin's pink Duchesse de ' Ne-
mours. ' '

KENTIA BELMOREANA.

A General Favorite.

If one were asked to name the most
popular palm at the present day, the
subject of this brief sketch would doubt-
less be the first species mentioned, it
being grown and sold more freely than
any other by florists in general through-
out our country.

It was within the last fifteen to twenty
years that the palm business of the
United States attained its special prom-
inence, and during that period kentia
seeds have been imported by million*
from their native country, Lord Howe's
Island, an island that appears as a small
dot on the map and is located some 600
miles from the northeast coast of Aus-
tralia.

The seeds of Kentia Belmoreana and
also those of the closely allied K. For-
steriana are usually shipped in two main
shipments each year, or rather at two
seasons in the year, the first arriving
in this country in the spring and the
second in the autumn. Those of the
latter season are preferred by many
growers, on the ground that they usu-
ally give a higher percentage of germi-
nation.

These seeds are quite large, frequently
over one inch long, extremely hard, and
contain a single germ at one end of the
seed. "When packed in good condition
they are sometimes found to have germi-
nated in the cases, though this condition
is by no means general.

Sowing the Seeds.

Large growers of these plants usually
sow the seeds broadcast in a bench in a
warm greenhouse. The planting is made
very thick and the seeds are covered to
a depth of nearly one inch with peat or
other light soil. The soil is kept moist
and the house moderately shaded, and
with a bottom heat of 75 to 80 degrees
some of the seeds wiU germinate in the
course of two months, while others may
lie dormant for nearly a year before
they will show signs of growth.

The early plants are taxen out and
potted and the ungerminated seeds re-
sown, from which it will be readily
understood that this crop occupies space
for a considerable time before any
money return may be expected.

The seedlings are potted off into
2-incb pots, the extra deep rose pots
being convenient for this purpose, ovring
to the stiff roots of the seedling kentias.
In these pots they are likely to remain
for four to six months.

From this size they are shifted to
3 -inch pots, and in due season to the

Kentia Belmoreana.

4-inch size. From the 4-inch they are
moved to 5-inch and 6-inch pots, ac-
cording to the vigor of the plants, but
each shift signifies at least four months,
and frequently longer.

Not a Quick Money-maker.

The 6-inch plants vary in price from
$1 to $2 each, according to the size and
quality of the stock, these being whole-
sale rates. It is not a quick-money
crop, and therefore many florists are
content to allow the palm specialists to
raise the seedlings and grow them on to
a fair size before purchasing their stock
for growing on for a season, or for
retailing at once.

The plant of Kentia Belmoreana here
pictured is from a photograph of a fair
sized specimen in an 8-inch pot, such as
usually sells for about $3 at wholesale.
When we take into consideration that
such a plant is at least three years old,
it does not seem like a great return for
the space, time and labor involved in
the transaction. There is much labor
about palm culture in order to produce
first-class stock, for the potting, water-
ing, cleaning and general care for a
period of years represent a considerable
total of expense, even without the final
expense of packing for shipment. The
latter, of itself, forms no small item,
especially when the packing is done for
winter shipment.

The Final Eetums.

These heavy expenses make the palm
business less profitable in proportion to
the investment than some other branches
of our trade, though it must be admitted
that much of the work is of an interest-
ing character.

It should also be taken into consider-
ation that not only is there a considerable
percentage of loss from non-germination
of seeds in each crop, but that there are
always some weak seedlings in every
batch, and that the latter will not make
fine, salable plants in the same time as
the strong seedlings.

These various drawbacks give strength
to the contention, on the part of grow*
ers, that a good kentia in a 6-inch pot
should not be sold for less than $2 at
wholesale. A few years' experience in
this line of trade would probably briny
many to this opinion, an opinion that il
not that of a pessimist as to the plant
trade.

IJUUM CANDIDUM.

Will you give me some information as
to the general culture of Lrlium candi-
dum? E. E. P.

Bulbs of L. candidum usually arrive
about the end of August. There are
two types. The true, broad-petaled
north of France variety is the only one
worth growing. As the bulbs start to
make growth and roots even in transit,
unpack and pot at once. While they
can be grown singly in 6-inch pots, they
do far better if planted three in an 8-
inch pot or five in a 10-inch pot. Stand
outdoors after potting. Shield from
heavy rains, but otherwise give full ex-
posure to the weather until quite sharp
frosts occur. This freezing is essential
to successful culture of them. If treateJ
like L. longiflorums they will be a fail-
ure.

Stand in a coldframe and house the
early batch about the middle of De-
cember. This would be a suitable date
to start them to have flowers for Easter,
1912, the date being April 7. Candidum
lilies resent hard forcings; 55 degrees
at night should be the absolute maximum
for them.

For outdoor culture plant four inches
deep in any good soil. Give a light coat-
ing of leaves in winter. Spray with
Bordeaux mixture once a week after
spikes start to push, to ward off or
mitigate the disease. Indoor plants are
always free from this disease and the
quality of flowers on them is vastly su-
perior to outdoor ones. A succession of
candidum flowers can be had from April
1 to July 1 by holding plants in cold
pits. C. W.

i

Cyclamens.

The weather is now unusually warm
for the season and cyclamens should
be placed, as soon as possible, in cold-
frames, in which they will grow much
better than in the greenhouses. Sashes
will not, after this time, be required,
except it may be to throw off torren-
tial rains, or on exceptionally cool
nights. Build a light wooden frame-
work which will lift the sashes eight or
ten inches above the sashbars, to allow
of a free circulation of air from all
sides. Do not shade the glass with
whitewash, but instead use lath shades,
which, while admitting the necessary
light, also allow a little sunshine to
strike the plants and at the same time
keeps them much cooler. Stand the
plants on a bed of clean coal ashes
and if they are partially plunged, so
much the better. On hot days play
the hose on the shades two or three
days to slightly moisten the leaves and
assist in lowering the temperature.

Cinerarias.

It is time to sow a batch of cineraria
seeds, especially if the plants are want-
ed in flower early in the winter. The
large-flowered type has a dwarfer habit
than the stellata or small-bloomed sec-
tion, although they are not so decora-
tive. Still, they are the best to grow
where neat pot plants are wanted. Sow
the seeds in pans of light sandy soil,
chiefly leaf-mold. Cover them lightly.
After watering, cover the pans with a
sheet of glass and lay paper over this.
If you have not a cool north house, use
a coldframe for the seed pans. Watch
them carefully, so that the soil is not
allowed to dry out; also avoid anything
like a close atmosphere, as the little
seedlings will easily damp off during
hot weather.

AntirrMnums.

Have you remembered to take cut-
tings from specially good plants of an-
tirrhinums? A careful selection will
vastly improve the quality of the spikes,
and when extra good strains appear it
is well to perpetuate them. Cuttings
put in now will root better than they
will a month or six weeks hence, when
steadily hot weather usually prevails,
and when such cool-loving subjects as
antirrhinums usually have rather hard
cuttings, which never produce so satis-
factory plants as do the side shoots
rubbed off now.

Some growers prefer to increase their
stock from seed and this, if purchased
from a reliable source, comes almost
absolutely true to color. Mixtures of
seed should never be planted, for no
one wants ipixed bunches of antirrhi-
nums, and about the only time they can
be profitably used would be in bouquet
work for Memorial day. The best col-
ors are pure white, yellow and bright
pink. At the holidays a good scarlet
will sell well, but the dark and miscel-
laneous shades are little wanted. Sow

the seed in rows six inches apart in
coldframes. Prick off in flats and later
pot up if for early planting for flower-
ing in late fall. If not wanted for an
early crop, plant outdoors in nursery
rows, and take cuttings from the best
varieties for later planting. Seed can
be sown as late as the early part of Au-
gust for producing plants to bench after
the mums are gone.

Callas.

After Memorial day there is little
call for callas, and the pots should be
gradually dried off and placed outdoors
on their sides. We say gradually dry-
ing off advisedly, as we do not believe
any bulbous rooted plants in full growth
should be thrown on their sides and laid
down to bake, as is too often done.
Plants in benches should be gradually
dried off and, when the foliage has
ripened off, the tubers can be lifted and
stored in dry sand until planting time
again arrives.

If an increase in stock is wanted,
plant out young offsets in well manured
land and lift in the fall. The new God-
frey calla does particularly well treated
in this way and it is the finest variety
in commerce today.

Nerines.

The nerines, or Guernsey lilies, as they
are popularly called, will now have com-
pleted their growth and as soon as the
foliage turns yellow they can be laid on
their sides on a hot, sunny bank out-
doors, or, as some specialists prefer, use

cold sashes filted top and bottom to
cover them. These beautiful and showy
fall flowering bulbs will not flower well
unless they receive a thorough baking
through the summer months. They should
have absolutely no moistiire whatever
until the flower spikes begin to push,
which is usually during September.

Show Felargoniums.

As the plants pass out of flower the
show pelargoniums can be stood out of
doors in full sunshine. Do not at once
start to keep them dry. A gradual ripen-
ing is what they need. In two or three
weeks, as the growth hardens, lay them
on their sides for a rest. Do not, how-
ever, keep them too dusty-dry, but play
the hose on them occasionally during hot
days.

This is not the best time to take cut-
tings. An abundance will be obtainable
at the time the plants are restarted and
pruned back. A short selection of de-
sirable varieties is: Countess of Crewe,
Crimson King, Mme. Thibaut, Lady Car-
rington, Alice M. Love, Dr. Masters,
Gloriosa and Beauty of Oxton. These
pelargoniums are usually in fine flower
for Memorial day.

Summer Lilies.

The demand for lilies in summer is
light as compared with the colder months.
People tire of the omnipresent longi-
florums, and speciosum album and ru-
brum provide a welcome change. The
earliest bulbs potted in late November
are now coming into flower and should
have a cool house, well shaded. Pick the
pollen masses away each day to keep
the flowers clean. See that later plants
are securely staked, as the plants grow
much taller under glass than outdoors.
Do not omit fumigation. Once green
fly gets a good foothold it will deform
or ruin a great part of the flowers.
Lilium auratum, owing to its pronounced
odor, is a less popular market variety
than speciosum. When pot grown it is,
however, useful for standing on piazzas,
the scent being too powerful in rooms.

GERANIUM SEEDLINGS.

The enclosed geranium blooms are
from three of our seedlings; number-
ing from dark to light, they are Nos.
3, 4 and 5. We have grown them for
three years and find them well estab-
lished in color and foliage and profuse
bloomers. They are of a dwarf, stocky
habit; the flowerets extend well above
the foliage; the color is lasting and
good. Are there any plants of this
kind or color on the market? If so,
please let us know the names of them.
We feel that these are worthy plants
and, should there not be any stock like
them on the market, we shall offer
them for sale. H. B. B.

The flowers were quite withered when
received, nothing damp being tied at
the bottoms of the stalks. However,
one or two buds have since opened

in water, which gives an idea of their
color and character. These are each
good singles, but I would not like to
say that they are distinct from vari-
eties now in commerce, although they
are slightly different from any I am
acquainted with. There are, however,
hundreds of sorts unknown to even
geranium specialists. The dark-colored
variety, No. 3, closely resembles Hall
Caine. It is not so good a shade for
bedding as Jacquerie or Paul Crampel.
The medium shade. No. 4, is like Scar-
amouche, a comparatively new French
sort, and I admire its color greatly.
The light variety comes close to Ian
Maclaren and is an attractive shade.
Try these out for bedding and, if they
stand the test, the two lighter ones,
Nos. 4 and 5, should prove valuable.
I should like to see a truss of each
again, but not until cooler weather
comes. 0. W.

IS

Kn.T.ABNEY BOSES.

Will you give me some information
as to the general treatment of Killar-
ney roses in detail, so as to have them
in crop from October to June!

R. E. P.

To describe in detail the treatment
of Killarneys would require more space
than The Review can spare at this sea-
son, and information must be well
boiled down. Presuming that you have
plants in 3%.-inch or 4-inch pots, either
own root or grafted, they should be
planted as soon as possible. Use five
inches of soil if on raised benches,
being sure to leave ample drainage be-
tween the boards or cement slabs. The
compost should be heavy rather than
light. Three parts of fibrous loam well
chopped and one part well decayed cow
manure, to which some bone meal has
been added, and which has been well
mixed before being placed in the house,
makes a good compost. If in solid
beds, do not use over six inches of soil,
and be sure the drainage is ample. Fif-
teen inches apart each way will answer
for the plants. Do not soak the whole
bed when watering, but leave a little
hollow around each plant to hold water.
Keep the surface soil frequently stirred
and ply the hose freely to keep down
red spider, aphis and other pests.

Ventilate according to the weather.
From now onwards it will be necessary
to leave air on at night, except it may
be exceptionally cool. It pays not to
cut fire heat off too early. The larger
establishments keep up some steam,
even in midsummer, and it pays in
keeping the houses sweet, and in fight-
ing mildew fire heat is a necessity.
Fumigation must not be neglected, of
course, at any time. Aphis will be par-
ticularly troublesome in late summer
and early fall. Pinch off all flower buds
until the end of August if you want a
crop early in October. Prices then are
not high and it may pay to allow part
of the plants to get stronger and bloom
later. Always plan to get in a consid-
erable crop for special occasions, like
Thanksgiving and Christmas. The time
from cutting one crop to getting an-
other depends on the season. It may
be five or eight weeks.

An average winter minimum of 56
degrees will be found about right.
Avoid feeding during the dark days in
winter. Do not attempt it until the
days lengthen. Nothing beats liquid
cow manure. This is safer and better
than any chemicals. A light top-dress-
ing of cow manure can be applied about
January 1 and this can be renewed at

intervals of six weeks, making the
mulch rather heavier as the weather
grows warmer. In applying fresh cow
manure, however, be sure to leave a
crack of air on for a night or two, as
there have been many cases of foliage
being scorched by the ammonia in a
tight atmosphere.

Plants can be carried over a second
year, in which ease they must be rested
about six weeks, starting about the
end of June. Then prune back to good
eyes and cut away all weak, useless
growths. Do not dry so as to cause
foliage to fall. Start up again about
the middle of August for an October
crop. Remove surface soil and give a
good top-dressing, or if you prefer, dig
up carefully after pruning and replant
in new soil. Killarney is a splendid
winter and spring rose, but not a good
summer variety, being too single. How-
ever, the new double variety may prove
a better summer sort.

ESICAS.

Will you give me some information as
to the general culture of ericas?

B. E, P.

The varieties commonly cultivated in
the cooler states of America are Caffra

densa, melanthera, persoluta alba, fra-
grans and Mediterranea. These are prop-
agated somewhat easily in the early
winter months by small tips an inch or
so in length placed in an ordinary prop-
agating bench, such as is used for car-
nations. Bell glasses and special cases
are not necessary for their propagation.
They root rather slowly, but cuttings in-
serted in sand about Christmas will be
rooted in eight to twelve weeks. Use
pots of thimble size for the first shift.
Grow outdoors after the end of May,
plunging the pots to the brim and keep-
ing them well watered and freely
syringed. Pot on as required, using a
compost of fibrous loam, leaf-mold and
sand. Avoid manures and fertilizers in
the compost. Plants once they are in
3-inch pots or over will grow faster if
planted outdoors in any good soil, but
one containing leaf soil in quantity is
specially good. They must be kept well
watered and hosed over thrciugh the sum-
mer.

Lift and pot early in October. Shake
away all loose soil and chop around the
balls of large plants with a sharp spade
to make them fit their pots. Spray
freely and leave outdoors after potting
until frost threatens. Then place in an
airy, frost-proof plant pit or a cold
greenhouse; 40 degrees at night is suf-
ficiently warm; in fact, a few degrees
of frost will qot hurt them. Pot-grown
plants plunged in soil or ashes will bloom
rather earlier than those planted out,
and melanthera can be had for Christmas
in good shape.

Ericas must never be subjected to
anything like forcing, or they will be
ruined and, like all hardwooded plants,
want careful waterings. The large-
flowered, waxy forms of ericas are grown
to a limited extent by a few specialists
in New York and Massachusetts, but
would not succeed where they could not
have cool and moist climatic conditions.

IMPRESSIONS ^^.^^^r^^

OF AMERICA 1

By L. M. Graves, Harlington, England.

The first item to attract my notice in
New York was the roads. How Amer-
icans, who boast of their great country,
can tolerate such vile roads as are to
be seen everywhere is more than I can
fathom. We Londoners are apt to com-
plain about a few ruts, but never again
shall I criticise them. But we had a
really good time at the banquet of the
New York Florists' Club, and some of
our party, I am sure, relish the nice
things said about us. The New York
boys, too, aren't above accepting a bit
of blarney. My word, it's a wonder we
survived it! Throughout our tour we
were feted; every fiorists' club on the
route seemed mad to outdo the previous
one, but I will give them credit for not
being too pressing. If anything makes
me bored it is being pressed to take a
cocktail when I don't want it.

The trip to Philadelphia was inter-
esting and I honestly believe that the

great building" run by 'W^ Atlee Burpee
& Co. is the smartest place of its kind
to be found either in or out of America.
The average seedsman on this side can
have no conception of this remarkable
place. Machinery and labor-saving de-
vices are everywhere. In the oflices I
noticed that typists take their dicta-
tion from talking machines.

The Americanized English, Scotch,
Greek, Germans and so on seem to be
a really happy family, and they knock
off things wonderfully well. They have
the vastness of the country to thank
for this, I fancy, coupled with the fact
that the number of florists and growers
are infinite as compared with over
here. They have things in their own
hands, and by keeping well together
they can control the output and the
market generally. Importations of
stock from other quarters do not trou-
ble them, so they have reason to be
happy and brotherly. We can all be
overflowing with kindness when the

world is treating us in the same way,
but it takes the gloss off to know that
the party in the next street is practic-
ing systematic undercutting. As I have
said before, the American florists and
growers, as I saw them, are a decent
lot, and even after allowing that they
were on their best behavior, I think
the same expression is applicable. Not
a few are prepared to do their bit in
the way of tall-talk, but I nevertheless
believe that the bulk of the Ameri-
canized Britishers are ready, if tackled
on the square, to admit that the "old
country" isn't such a tarnation one-
horse show as some would have us be-
lieve.

As a grower of both plants and
blooms, I was disappointed at the
meager show of goods obtainable in
the markets. "Whether climate has any-
thing to do with it, I cannot say, but I
give it to our U. S. A. friends that we
can whack 'em all over. Mr. Vincent,
who, by the way, proved a good pilot,
does a big trade in pot lines, but mostly
of the bedding type. At E. G. Hill Co. 's
Bichmond quarters, things were done
well, but I candidly confess that roses
and carnations were beginning to pall
upon me before I reached there. It
seems as if America lives on roses and
carnations and I was mortally sick of
them after I viewed the great concern
of P«ehlmann Bros. Co., at Chicago.
The stock was indeed wonderfully well
done. I give the Yankees credit that
they can do these two lines on a vast
scale in a very even manner. I don't
pretend to know anything about these
lines, but all the same I can express
an opinion as an outsider, and it is
this: "The best American grade car-
nation or rose is no better than the
best home-grown as I've seen them."
But the Americans certainly have a
long pull when it comes to production
in quantity, for the simple reason that
in America the firms put down acres
to these two crops. Poehlmanns' have
forty-five acres given almost entirely
to them, and I own that when I fin-
ished my survey, I didn't care a red
cent whether I saw another rose or
carnation during the next two years.
Poehlmanns' attracted me more on ac-
count of its phenomenal size and the
labor-saving methods than the produce
did.

The Boston show to American eyes
may have been the biggest on earth —
the building certainly eclipsed any-
thing of the kind that I know — but I

nevertheless think that to best our
Temple or Holland House shows the
U. S. A. men have a long way to go.
Some of the Boston exhibits were good,
really good, and I almost went down
on my knees when I came across Far-
quhar's cyclamens. This firm can do
these plants in style. The whole Far-
quhar exhibit was very creditable. The
rose exhibits were good, naturally, as
were some of the carnations. As a
sweet pea grower, I confess that Wm.
Sim can lick us into a cocked hat when
it comes to early bloom. Sim is a
credit to Old England, or rather to
Scotland, and his sweet peas made
me feel small. The plant exhibits gen-
erally were only moderate, but Mr. Eo-
land's were an exception. Taking the
plant lines as I saw them in America,
it seems to me that the growers there
depend largely upon hard-wooded im-
ported stuff.

Just how many times I heard, "Very
pleased to meet you," I cannot say,
but I used to pity the poor Yankees
every time they were introduced to our
crowd. By the time each had greeted
us, he was out of breath and hugging
a sore hand. Most of them said:
"Come right along." Our trip was
one series of banquets and functions.
The florists' clubs 'of each town vied
with each other to give us a good time.
It really seemed as if one crowd hung
on our heels until the next lot came
to meet us. At one place, Washington,
if I remember rightly, we had two
banquets. Washington, by the way, is
a fine place, but Boston more closely
resembles London than any place we
visited. Taken on the whole, I gained
some amusement and a good deal of
knowledge from my tripj but leisure I
never had. Dog-tired every day, Sun-
days and all. The club boys never
let us rest. They are born pilots, for
they took us to all points where things
were to be seen; buildings or parks,
they knew every crook and cranny, and
I venture to say with their help we saw
more of America in three weeks than
the average tourist would see in three
months.

THE BOSEOOF EXHIBITION.

Julius Eoehrs, Eutherford, N. J., was
a member of the international board
of judges for the great flower show at
Boskoop, Holland, in April. This was
the first attempt of the Boskoop nurs-
erymen to give an exhibition of this
magnitude and they are more than

pleased with the results. Altogether,
60,000 persons visited the show in the
fourteen days of its duration, and
among these were leading men in the
trade from all the countries of Europe.
Of the plants shown, rhododendrons
and azaleas naturally occupied first
place, but there were large and fine
displays of lilacs, roses, hydrangeas,
Japanese maples, viburnums, magnolias,
prunus, cytisus, malus, Crataegus, clem-
atis, deutzias, kalmia, robinia, staphy-
lea, spiraea, weigelia, peonies, lilies and
all the • decorative plants for which
Boskoop is known the h,orticultural
world over.

AT THE ABNOLD ABBOBETUM.

The lilac display at the Arnold Ar-
boretum, in Boston, was at its height
May 20, when these notes were written.
A quantity of large sized specimens
were moved last fall, many of them
being cut down near the ground, and
are now breaking nicely. The undis-
turbed plants are in fine flower.

A few of the best varieties noted
were: Aline Mocquery, single dark
purplish red, dwarf habit; Mme. Le-
moine, still the finest double white;
Philemon, single, dark purple, immense
panicles, one of the finest lilacs grown;
Frau Bertha Dammann, large pure
white panicles; Guizot, fine single light
lavender; Ville de Troyes, rosy lilac, a
splendid grower; Volcan, a grand single
dark purple variety, similar to Phile-
mon; Dr. Masters, double blue, erect
panicles, good; Louis Henry, much
branched panicles, rose with lavender,
a good double; Le Printemps, double
pink suffused with lavender, large flow-
ers; Prince Imperial, single, airy-look-
ing branched panicles, light blue;
Michael Buchner, double, pale lilac,
erect; Negro, single, dark purple, a
grand variety; Macrostachya, the most
beautiful of all the single light pinks,
immense erect panicles; Senateur Vol-
land, an excellent double, light pink;
Ambrose Verschaffelt, light single pink,
large panicles; Souvenir de Ludwig
Spaeth, single, deep purple red, still one
of the best; Doyen Keteleer, double,
pale lavender; Lemoinei, fine double
blue; Nigricans, a cheery single light
pink — Nigricans is something of a mis-
nomer for this variety; Marie Legraye,
still the finest single white; caerulea
superba, excellent single deep blue;
Belle de Nancy, bright satiny rose;
Geant des Batailles, fine single, light

trusses, densely flowered; Jean Bart,
double, deep pink; Mme. Abel Chate-
nay, medium panicles, pure white, dou-
ble; Princess Alexandra, fine single
white; Charles X, still in the front
ranks, reddish purple, trusses a little
loose. All lilacs grown here are on
their own roots.

Among other interesting plants seen
here were masses of the brilliant Aza-
lea Kaempferi and Fothergilla major in
fine flower. Twenty thousand seedling
Chinese rhododendrons were trans-
planted and being grown in frames
under lath shades. Pans containing
tens of thousands of seedling coniferse
were noted, as well as a host of decidu-
ous subjects. A long frame contained
a large quantity of the new red Cypri-
pedium Thibeticum and a yellow spot-
ted cypripedium which was collected by
E. H. Wilson in China and which suc-
cessfully withstood the four months'
journey. A number are already in
flower. Superintendent Dawson has
many other interesting things to show
the visitor.

In the collection of malus or flower-
ing crab apples the following were note-
worthy: M. Halliana, M. lonensis flore
pleno, M. Toringo, M. atrosanguinea,
very dark; M. Niedwedzkiana, a fine
dark variety; M. floribunda, M. Schei-
deckeri, M. spectabilis, M. baccata, M.
Arnoldiana, a beautiful pure white sort;
M. Sargento, low growing, handsome,
and M. Eingo. W. N. Craig.

A goo*^ many people believe that the
good sports are the good workers, and
certain it is that whenever one of the
bowling contingent has been designated
as superintendent of the S. A. F. con-
vention trades' display, good work al-
ways has been had. Perhaps that is
why it has come to be the fashion to
pick a sport to do the heavy work of
the August exhibition. Mack Rich-
mond, who is to be superintendent of
the trades' display at Baltimore in
August, is one of that town's tireless
bowlers, and his scores always are a
credit. He is with Halliday Bros., and
it is said he works as hard as he plays.
Already Mr. Richmond, whose address
for convention work is 1813 Pulaski

floor space in the great Armory build-
ing, where the trade will gather in
August.

world is troatiiig us in the same way,
hut it takes tlie gloss olf tu kuow that
the liarty in the next street is praetic-
iug systeniatif uudercuttiug. As 1 have
said before, the American florists and
growers, as I saw them, are a decent
lot, and even after allowing that they
were on their best behavior, 1 think
the same expression iss applicahle. \ot
a few are prepared to do their l)it in
the way of tall-talk, but 1 nevertheless
believe that the bulk of the Ameri-
canized Britishers are ready, if tackled
on the square, to admit that the "old
country" isn't such a tarnation one-
horse show as some would have us be-
lieve.

As a grower of both plants and
blooms, 1 was disappointed at the
meager show of goods obtainable in
the markets. ^Vhether climate has any-
thing to do with it, I cannot say, but I
give it to our V. 8. A. friends that we
can whack 'em all over. Mr. Vincent,
who, liy the way, i)rovcd a good pilot,
does a big trade in pot lines, but mostly
of the bedding type. At E. G. Hill Co. 's
Kichmond quarters, things were done
well, but I candidly confess that roses
and carnations were beginning to pall
ui)on me before 1 reached there. It
seems as if America lives on roses and
carnations and 1 was mortally sick of
them after I viewed the great concern
of reehlmann Bros. Co., at Chicago.
The stock was indeed wonderfully well
done. T give the Yankees credit that
they can do these two lines on a vast
scale in a very even manner. I don 't
pretend to know anything about these
lines, but all the same I can express
an opinion as an outsider, and it is
this: "The best American grade car-
nation or rose is no better than the
best home-grown as I 've seen them. ' '
But the Americans certainly have a
long i)ull when it comes to production
in quantity, for the simple reason that
in America the firms put down acres
to these two crops. Poehlmanns' have
forty-five acres given almost entirely
to them, and I own that when I fin-
ished my survey, 1 didn 't care a red
cent whether I saw another rose or
carnation during the next two years.
I'oehlmanns' attracted me more on ac-
count of its phenomenal size and the
labor-saving methods than the produce
did.

The Boston show to American eyes
may have been the biggest on earth —
the building certainly eclipsed any-
thing of the kind that I know — but I

nevertheless think that to best our
Temple or Holland House shows the
U. y. A. men ha\e a long way to go.
Some of the Boston exhibits were good,
really good, and I almost went down
on my knees when I came across Far-
quhar's cyclamens. This firm can do
these plants in style. The whole Far-
quhar exhibit was'very creditable. The
rose exhibits were good, naturally, as
were some of the carnations. As a
sweet pea grower, I confess that Wni.
Sim can lick us into a cocked hat when
it comes to early bloom. Sim is a
credit to Old England, or rather to
Scotland, and his sweet peas made
me feel small. The plant exhibits gen-
erally were only moderate, but Mr. Ko-
land's were an exception. Taking the
plant lines as I saw them in America,
it seems to me that the growers there
depend largely upon hard-wooded im-
ported stuff.

Just how many times I heard, ' ' Very
pleased to meet you," I cannot say,
but I used to pity the poor Yankees
every time they were introduced to our
crowd. By the time each had greeted
us, he was out of breath and hugging
a sore hand. Most of them said:
' ' Come right along. ' ' Our trip was
one series of banquets and functions.
The florists' clubs of each town vied
with each other to give us a good time.
It really seemed as if one crowd hung
on our heels until the next lot came
to meet us. At one place, Washington,
if I remember rightly, we had two
banquets. Washington, by the way, is
a fine place, but Boston more closely
resembles London than any place we
visited. Taken on the whole, I gained
some amusement and a good deal of
knowledge from my trip, but leisure I
never had. Dog-tired every day, Sun-
days and all. The club boys never
let us rest. They are born pilots, for
they took us to all points where things
were to be seen; buildings or parks,
they knew every crook and cranny, and
I venture to say with their help we saw
more of America in three weeks than
the average tourist would sec in three
months.

THE BOSKOOP EXHIBITION.

Julius liochrs, Rutherford, N. .T., was
a member of the international board
of judges for the great llower show at
Boskoop, Holland, in April. This was
the first attempt of the Boskooj) nurs-
erymen to give an exhibition of this
magnitude and they are more than

pleased with the results. Altogether,
1)0,000 persons visited the show in the
fourteen days of its duration, and
among these were leading men in the
trade from all the countries of Europe.
Of the plants shown, rhododendrons
and azaleas naturally occupied first
place, but there were large and fine
displays of lilacs, roses, hydrangeas,
Japanese maples, viburnums, magnolias,
prunus, cytisus, mains, cratuigus, clem-
atis, deutzias, kalmia, robiuia, staphy-
lea, spiraea, weigelia, peonies, lilies and
all the decorative plants for which
Boskoop is known the horticultural
world over.

AT THE ARNOLD ARBORETUM.

The lilac display at the Arnold Ar-
boretum, in Boston, was at its height
May 20, when these notes were written.
A quantity of large sized specimens
were moved last fall, many of them
being cut down near the ground, and
are now breaking nicely. The undis-
turbed plants are in fine flower.

A few of the best varieties noted
were: Aline Mocquery, single dark
purplish red, dwarf habit; Mme. Le-
moine, still the finest double white;
Philemon, single, dark purple, immense
panicles, one of the finest lilacs grown;
Fran Bertha Dammann, large pure
white panicles; Guizot, fine single light
lavender; Ville de Troyes, rosy lilac, a
splendid grower; Volcan, a grand single
dark purple variety, similar to Phile-
mon; Dr. Masters, double blue, erect
panicles, good; Louis Henry, much
branched panicles, rose with lavender,
a good double; Le Printemps, double
pink suffused with lavender, large flow-
ers; Prince Imperial, single, airy-look-
ing branched panicles, light blue;
Michael Buchner, double, pale lilac,
erect; Negro, single, dark purple, a
grand variety; Macrostachya, the most
beautiful of all the single light pinks,
immense erect panicles; Senateur Vol-
land, an excellent double, light pink;
Ambrose Verschaffelt, light single pink,
large panicles; Souvenir de Ludwig
Spa'th, single, deep purple red, still one
of the best; Doyen Keteleer, double,
pale lavender; Lemoinei, fine double
blue; Nigricans, a cheery single light
pink — Nigricans is something of a mis-
nomer for this variety; Marie Legraye,
still the finest single white; ca;rulea
superba, excellent single deep blue;
Belle de Nancy, bright satiny rose;
Gcant des Batailles, fine single, light

pink; Croix de Brahy, single pink, small
trusses, densely flowered; Jean Bart,
double, deep pink; Mme. Abel Chate-
nay, medium panicles, pure white, dou-
ble; Princess Alexandra, line single
white; Charles X, still in the front
ranks, reddish purple, trusses a little
loose. All lilacs grown here are on
their own roots.

Among other interesting plants seen
here were masses of the brilliant Aza-
lea Kasmpferi and Pothergilla major in
fine flower. Twenty thousand seedling
Chinese rhododendrons were trans-
planted and being grown in frames
under lath shades. Pans containing
tens of thousands of seedling conifera.'
were noted, as well as a host of decidu-
ous subjects. A long frame contained
a large quantity of the new red Cypri-
pedium Thibeticum and a yellow spot-
ted cypripedium which was collected by
E. H. Wilson in China and which suc-
cessfully withstood the four months'
journey. A number are already in
flower. Superintendent Dawson has
many other interesting things to show
the visitor.

In the collection of malus or flower-
ing crab apples the following were note-
worthy: M. Halliana, M. lonensis flore
pleno, M. Toringo, M. atrosanguinea,
very dark; M. Niedwedzkiana, a fine
dark variety; M. floribunda, M. Schei-
deckeri, M. spectabilis, M. baccata, M.
Arnoldiana, a beautiful pure white sort;
M. Sargento, low growing, handsome,
and M. Eingo. W. N. Craig.

Hotel Belvidere, located on Charles
and Chase streets, has been selected
as the hotel headquarters for the so-
ciety. The president's reception will
also be held at this hotel. Applications
for rooms should be sent in early, so
as to secure good accommodations. The
hotel is located within a few minutes'
walk of the Armory, where the meet-
ings and exhibitions are to be held.

Registration of Roses.

Public notice is hereby given that
the Conard & Jones Co., of West Grove,
Pa., offers for registration the roses de-
scrilied below. Any person objecting
to the registration or to the use of
the proposed names is requested to

MACK RICHMOND.

A goo'i many people believe that the
good sports are the good workers, and
certain it is that whenever one of the
bowling contingent has been designated
as superintendent of the S. A. F. con-
vention trades' display, good work al-
ways has been had. Perhaps that is
why it has come to be the fashion to
pick a sjiort to do the heavy work of
the .\ugust exhibition. Mack Rich-
mond, who is t(i be superintendent of
the trades' display at Baltimore in
.\u<j;ust, is one of that town's tireless
bowlers, and his scores always are a
(•redit. He is with Halliday Bros., and
it is said Ik^ worl<s as hard as he jilays.

HABDT PERENNIALS.

In the Gorgeous June Borders.

The month of June is perhaps the
most interesting of the year in th6
hardy herbaceous borders, for in no
other month do we get such a wealth
of beautiful flowers. The present sea-
son has been a rather trying one for
these plants, as the marked deficiency
in precipitation has dwarfed many of
them and few show their true charac-
teristics. It is, however, astonishing
what a transformation a few genial
showers make; the plants seem almost
to double in size in a night. Frequent
cultivBtion, to keep the surface soil
loose and cut oflf weeds, was never more
necessary than during the present
season.

Some of the earliest border plants are
already gone, but in any well planted
borders, properly dove-tailed, other sub-
jects growing in close proximity seem
to be waiting for a little extra space to
show off their beauties, and the early
bloomers' places are easily filled. It is
later in the season that big gaps appear

in sun or partial shade. Even the long-
spurred sorts will naturalize nicely, and
all are excellent in rockeries.

Phloxes for Six Months.

The phlox family is perhaps the most
valuable one among hardy perennials.
From the time the dwarf suVulatas
come into flower in May until sharp
frost ends the paniculata section, there
is no break in them, and any single
family which furnishes flowers for six
months in the year is one which every-
one should grow. P. divaricata is a
beautiful variety, with pale blue flow-
ers; a charming subject, also, for cul-
ture in pans for spring flowering. The
variety .Laphami has flowers of a more
intense blue. Propagation of P. divari-
cata is easy from cuttings, as well as
from division of the roots.

The suffruticosa section flowers ahead
of the paniculatas, which are mostly
grown. The best of the suffruticosas is
Miss Lingard, flowering in New Eng-
land about June 20; flowers pure white
with a delicate lilac eye. If restricted
to one phlox, this would be my selec-

Old Friends at Vick's Send Best Wishes to E. F. Rowe.

and then some annuals are a necessity
to cover the bare spots.

Beautiful now are the aquilegias,
and how well they last in water! It
is surprising that they are not more
grown commercially, for what up-to-
date florist or critical purchaser can
resist a vase of these beautiful colum-
bines, with their gracefully spurred
flowers f The Rocky Mountain colum-
bine, A. cserulea, with its blue and
white long-spurred flowers, is perhaps
the best of all. A. chrysantha, with
golden flowers, has greater vigor and
longevity, and is beautiful. Skinneri,
yellow, with red spurs; Haylodgensis,
in varying shades of blue (these are
cserulea hybrids); casrulea alba, white,
and Nivea grandiflora, pure white,
are all lovely varieties. All these
aquilegias seed freely. If you have an
excellent long-spurred strain, save
some of your own seed and sow when
ripe, or buy seeds now and they will
make nice plants for flowering next
year at this season. Aquilegias are not
fussy as to soil and they do well either I

tion. No variety propagates more
readily from cuttings, especially in the
fall, and for cutting or massing effects
it stands ahead of all other sorts. This
is also a beautiful subject for forcing.
Cuttings for this purpose can be se-
cured in plenty about the end of Sep-
tember, and the plants should be placed
in an average temperature at night of
50 degrees in January. The paniculata
section is easily propagated from cut-
tings in spring, and these cuttings, if
well rooted now, should be planted out
in beds or nursery rows six inches
apart. They will carry a large head of
flowers each, somewhat later than the
old clumps, which helps to prolong the
phlox season.

Gas Plants and Foxgloves.

Dictamnus Fraxinella and its variety
alba, commonly known as gas plants, a
title given on account of the plants
giving off in hot weather a volatile oil
which readily ignites, are among the
best of perennials. They are at their
best in June, and as the dark green

leaves persist until late fall, there are
no unsightly gaps where they are grow-
ing. They ?ire rather slowly propa-
gated from seed and do not become es-
tablished as quickly as most of the
other hardy plants. They should be
transplanted as little as possible. If
left undisturbed for a few years, they
will make big, peony-like clumps, which
are a telling feature in any garden.
When planting the dictamnus, give it
a generous soil, and for massing effects
the two colors look particularly well
together.

The digitalis or foxgloves are now
coming into flower and surely no gar-
den, however humble, is complete with-
out a clump or two of them. They are
old-fashioned, it is true, but how stately
they are! In good soil it is no unusual
thing to see them five to six feet high,
or even more. The gloxinia-flowered
type is the best, and those wanting
strong plants to flower in June, 1912,
should sow them soon. Old plants car-
ried over flower beautifully. Indi-
vidual specimens with ten to twelve
spikes are objects worth looking at.
"With many these are not classed as
hardy. They need a light winter pro-
tection, but a heavy one will rot them,
particularly if the winter proves a
mild one. W. N. Craig.

BEST WISHES POLLOW EOWE.

As reported in The Review a few
weeks ago, E. Fred Rowe, for many
years connected with James Vick's
Sons, of Rochester, has left his connec-
tion with that house to take a place
with the McFarland Publicity Service
as chief of its copy department. When
Mr. Rowe arrived in Harrisburg to as-
sume his new duties he found a pleas-
ant remembrance from his former em-
ployers and associates in the form of
a vase of beautiful American Beauty
roses bearing the inscription, * ' Best
wishes of old friends and former asso-
ciates of Vick's."

Mr. Rowe was for some years the
Rochester correspondent of The Review.

SPOTTED FERN FRONDS.

Enclosed you will find some fern
leaves. I should like to know what
causes them to be spotted and what I
can do for the trouble. I water with a
sprinkling can; would that cause the
brown spots? E. M.

The nephrolepis fronds referred to
in this query appear to be sun-scalded.
The most likely cause of this is water-
ing overhead during bright, hot
weather. Possibly the house in which
the plants are growing was not sufii-
ciently ventilated at the time the water-
ing was done. Try giving free ventila-
tion, and water in the early morning,
looking over the plants again in the
afternoon, in order to water any that
may dry out during the day.

Tionesta, Pa. — C. A. Anderson says
the business throughout this section in-

the other.

WHAT FLOWEE DENOTES
JUSTICE?

Would you please tell me what flower
or flowers represent justice?

J. J. L. B.

The flower that is supposed to sym-
Isolize justice is the rudbeckia or cone-
ilower. In this connection, however,
the word "justice" appears to be
nearly synonymous with ' ' impartial-
ity," aud some writers on the subject
prefer the latter word. As the genus
rudbeckia includes the Golden Glow and
also E. hirta, or the Black-eyed Susan,
the flowers themselves are surely well
known, thougn their significance may
be almost unkpown; the flowers them-
selves are common enough, though the
quality that they typify may not be as
•common as might be wished.

Just why rudbeckias are emblematic
of justice may be something of a
•conundrum, which can probably be
solved as well by J. J. L. B. as by
0 anyone else. In the so-called "lan-
guage of flowers" there are many such
conundrums. The rudbeckia grows in
almost any kind of soil or situation,
in almost any temperate climate and
Tvith almost any sort of culture; in
that sense it is certainly impartial, but
the same is true of some other flowers.
Perhaps it is suflicient for J. J. L. B.
to be assured as to the fact that the
rudbeckia in some way typifies jus-
tice. If he wants more authority on
the point, he might refer to the back
part of the Standard dictionary, where
a list of flowers and their significa-
tions will be found, under the title of
"Symbolic Flowers and Gems."

The coltsfoot, or Tussilago Farfara,
is said to represent the sentiment,
■"Justice shall be done," or "You shall
have justice. ' ' Injustice, the opposite
•of the quality under consideration, is
symbolized by Humulus Lupulus, the
common hop. But here we are en-
countering more conundrums.

Peony Golden Harvest at Wild's.

SABCOXIE PEONIES.

Where the Industry Originated.

The present-day cut flower peony in-
dustry had its practical inception in
the town of Sarcoxie, Mo. The joke-
makers have rung the changes on the
' ' show nie ' ' proposition for so long
that it is becoming just a little tire-
some to the Missourians. But in the
case of the Saycoxie nurserymen show-
ing them once was («nough to establish
the peony as« flist-class source of ready
money. James B. Wild was the one
who was first shown, and as he recalls
the circumstance the profit in peonies
was demonstrated to him by Kennicott
Bros. Co., Chicago, to whom a few
cases of early blooms had been turned
over by a South Water street commis-
sion house, which had received the
flowers in a car o£ strawberries. Mr.
Wild was the organizer of the Sarcoxie
strawberry industry. He arranged for
the first refrigerator car which ever
ran out of that town^ and in one season,
a few years later, as secretary of the
growers' association he shipped in one
year 263 carloads of strawberries.
Occasionally a case would be packed
with peonies, instead of berries. When
these reached the Chicago wholesale
florists, they sold so well that more
were wanted. As with the straw-
berries, a small beginning soon led to
great development. Now Sarcoxie ships
peonies by the thousands of dozens and
they go all over the country.

While there are hundreds of straw-
berry growers shipping from Sarcoxie,
the peonj^ business is practically all
in the Wild family. There are others,
but they do not count by comparison
with the Wilds. Gilbert H. Wild has
probably the largest acreage of peonies
in the United States. His fields cover
almost twenty-five acres. With him is
associated his father, James B. Wild.
Their stock is shipped all over the
United States. This year consignments
for immediate sale were made to whole-
sale florists in New York, Brooklyn,
Philadelphia, Buffalo, Pittsburg, Cin-
cinnati, St. Louis and Chicago, though
the bulk of the cut still goes to Kenni-
cott Bros. Co., in Chicago, who store
it in anticipation of the Memorial day
demand. This year Gilbert H. Wild 's
stock in storage at Chicago, May 27.
amounted to 4,720 dozens. The accom-
panying illustrations are prepared from
photographs of Mr. Wild's fields made
in the early part of May of this year.

Gilbert H. Wild cut this year not
more than one-third of the blooms on
that part of his stock from which
blooms are taken; part of his fields are
grown for the production of roots, a
large business having been worked up
in one and two-eyed roots for the mail-
ing trade.

The next largest peony grower at
Sarcoxie is Wild Bros. Nursery Co.,
which is conducted by Henry Wild and
his sons. This concern has something
over five acres in peonies, growing
both for cut flowers and for stock for
the nursery business. The cut flowers
are consigned to E. H. Hunt, of Chi-
cago, and a good part of them go into
storage to be held for Decoration day.

The Frank Wild Floral Co. also has
about five acres of peonies, the cut
blooms of which are consigned to the
J. B. Deamud Co., Chicago. Another
acre of Sarcoxie peonies is grown by
Mr. Schull, who also is a member of the
Wild family, related through Mrs. J.
B. Wild.

To northern peony growers, whose
season this year was anywhere from
one week to three weeks earlier than
usual, it will be interesting to note
that the Sarcoxie growers were nearly
ten days behind. In 1910 Gilbert H.
Wild cut his first peonies April 17 and
the last one April 26. This year the
first stock was cut April 25 and the
last shipment was made May 19. The
early stock realized fully as good prices
as ever before, but the season at Sar-
coxie was extremely dry and even be-
fore the extreme hot wave arrived the
stock showed the effects of lack of
moisture. When the heat came, ship-
ping difficulties were added' to the
difficulty of cutting the stock in prime
condition. The result was that the
crop of salable blooms was reduced
through a considerable loss in hand-
ling. The Sarcoxie growers did not
have this year nearly so profitable a cut
flower season as they had expected, but
tliey are men of wide experience and
not at all inclined to cry over spilled
milk; they placed the blame entirely
upon the shoulders of the weather man.

these plants, as llie niariu'd delicieiicy
in ])recipitation has dwarfed inaiiy of
them and few show their true charac-
teristics. It is, however, astonishing
what a transformation a few genial
showers make; the plants seeni almost
to double in size in a night. Frecjuent
cultivation, to keep the surface soil
loose and cut off weeds, was nevi-r more
■necessary than during the present
season.

ISome of the earliest border plants are
already gone, but in any well i)lanted
borders, properly dove-tailed, other sub-
jects growing in close proximity seem
to be waiting for a little extra space to
show off their beauties, and the early
l)looniers' i)laces are easily filled. It is
later in the season that big gaps appear

in sun or partial shade. Even the long-
s]iurred sorts will naturalize nicely, and
all are excellent in rockeries.

Phloxes for Six Months.

The phlox family is perhaps the most
\aluable one among hartly perennials.
From the time the dwarf su]>ulatas
come into flower iu May until sharp
frost ends the paniculata section, there
is no break in them, and any single
family which furnishes flowers for six
months in the year is one which every-
one should grow. P. divaricata is a
beautiful variety, with pale blue flow-
ers; a charming subject, also, for cul-
ture in ])ans for spring flowering. The
variety Laphami has flowers of a more
intense blue. Propagation of P. divari-
cata is easy from cuttings, as well as
from division of the roots.

The suflfruticosa section flowers ahead
of the paniculatas, which are mostly
grown. The best of the suffruticosas is
Miss Lingard, flowering in New Eng-
land about June 20; flowers pure white
with a delicate lilac eye. If restricted
to one phlo.x, this would be my selec-

Old Friends at Vick's Send Best Wishes to E. F. Rowe.

and then some annuals are a neressity
to cover the Ijare sfiots.

Beautiful now are the aquilegias,
and how wcdl they last in water I It
is surprising that they are not more
grown commercially, for what up to-
date florist or critical pur<liaser can
resist a Aase of these beautiful colum-
bines, with their gracefully spurred
flowers? The Rocky Mountain colum
bine, A. ca'rulea, with its blue and
white long-spurred flowers, is |ierliai>s
the best of all. A. <lir\ sanf ha. with
golden flowers, has greater vigor and
longevity, and is beautiful. Skinneri,
yellow, with red spurs; llaylodgensis,
in \arying shades of blue (these are
caM'ulea hybrids); cjiTulea alba, white,
and Xivea grandillora. jmre white,
are all lovcdy \arieties. All these
acpiilegias seed Ireely. If \()U lia\(' an
excellent long sjiurred strain, save
some of your own s(>ed unci sow when
ripe, or Iiuy see(ls now .'ind they will
make nice ]ilants for flowering next
year at this season. Aquilegias are not
fussv as to soil an<l fhev do well either

tion. So \ariety projiagates more
readily from cuttings, especially in the
fall, and for cutting or massing effects
it stands ahead of all other sorts. This
is also a beautiful subject for forcing.
Cuttings for this purpose can be se-
cured in plenty about the end of Se]>-
tember, and the plants should be j)laced
in an average temperature at night of
.")0 degrees in January. The paniculata
section is easily propagated from cut-
tings in spring, and these cuttings, if
well rooted now, should be planted out
in beds or nursery rows six inches
apart. They will carry a large head of
flowers each, somewhat later than the
(dd clumps. vvhi(di heljis to jirolong the
jddox si'ason.

Gas Plants and Foxgloves.

Dictamiins i-'raxinella and its varietv
alba, commonly known as gas jdants, a
title given on account of tin' plants
giving off in hot weather a volatile oil
which readily ignites, are among the
best of perennials. They are at their
best iu .lune, ami as the dark green

leaves persist until late fall, there are
no unsightly gaps where they are grow-
ing. They are rather slowly propa-
gated from seed and do not become es-
tablished as quickly as most of the
other hardy plants. They should be
transplanted as little as possible. If
left undisturbed for a few years, they
will make big, peony-like clumps, which
are a telling feature in any garden.
When planting the dictamnus, give it
a generous soil, and for massing effects
the two colors look particularly well
together.

The digitalis or foxgloves are now
coming into flower and surely no gar-
den, however humble, is complete with-
out a clump or two of them. They are
old-fashioned, it is true, but how stately
they are! In good soil it is no unusual
thing to see them five to six feet high,
or even more. The gloxinia-flowered
type is the best, and those wanting
strong plants to flower in June, 1912,
should sow them soon. Old plants car-
ried over flower beautifully. Indi-
vidual specimens with ten to twelve
spikes are objects worth looking at.
With many these are not classed as
hardy. They need a light winter pro-
tection, but a heavy one will rot them,
particularly if the winter proves a
mild one. W. N. Craig.

BEST WISHES FOLLOW ROWE.

As reported in The Keview a few
weeks ago, E. Fred Kowe, for many
years connected with .lames Vick's
Sons, of Rochester, has left his connec-
tion with that house to take a place
with the McFarland Publicity Service
as chief of its copy department. When
Mr. Rowe arrived in Harrisburg to as-
sume his new iluties he found a pleas-
■int remembrance from his former em-
ployers and associates in the form of
a vase of beautiful American Beauty
roses bearing the inscription, "Best
wishes of old friends and former asso-
ciates of Vick's."

Mr. Rowe was for some years the

WHAT FLOWER DENOTES
JUSTICE?

Would you iilciisc toll mo what liowcr
■or liowers ri'prosciit justice .'

J. J. L. B.

Tlie ilow(>r tliat is supposoil to sym-
bolize justice is the rudbeciiia or coiie-
iiower. In this coiiiiectioii, however,
the word "justice'' appears to be
nearly synonymous with "impartial-
ity," fi-id some writers on the subject
prefer the latter word. As the ^enus
rudbeckia imdudes the (iolden (ilow and
also K. hirta, or the Jihudi-eyed Susan,
the flowers themselves are surely well
known, thoujjii their significance may
be almost unknown; tiie flowers them-
selves are common enouyii, though the
quality that they typify may not be as
common as might be wished.

.lust why rudl)eckias are emblematic
of justice may be something of a
conundrum, which can proViably be
solved as well by .1. ,1. L. Ji. iis by
anyone else. In the so-called ' ' lan-
guage of flowers" there are many such
conundrums. The rudbeckia grows in
almost any kind of soil or situation,
in almost any temj)erate climate and
with almost any sort of culture; in
that sense it is certainly impartial, but
the same is true of some other flowers.
Perhaps it is sufHcient for .1. .1. L. li.
to be assured as to the fact that the
rudbeckia in some way typifies jus-
tice. If he wants more authority on
the point, he might refer to the back
part of the Standard dictionary, where
a list of flowers and their significa-
tions will be found, under the title of
"Syndxdic J-'lowers and (Jems."

The coltsfoot, or Tussilago l-'arfara,
is said to represent the sentiment,
".lustice shall be done," or " Vou shall
have justice." In justice, the opposite
of the (piality under consideration, is
symbolized by Ilumulus Lupulus, the
<'Oinmon hoji. Hut here we are en-
countering inori* conundrums.

Peony Golden Harvest at Wild's.

SARCOXIE PEONIES.

Where the Industry Originated.

The i)resent-day cut flower jpeony in-
dustry had its practical inception in
the town of Sarcoxie, Mo. The joke-
maUers ha\e rung the (dianges on the
"show me" |)roposition for s() long
that it is becoming just a little tire-
some to the Missourians. Hut in the
case of the Sarcoxie nurserymen show-
ing them once was enough to establish
the jieony as a first class source of ready
money. James H. Wild was the one
who was first shown, ami as he recalls
the circumstance the profit in })eonies
was demonstrated to him by Kennicott
Bros. Co., Chicjigo, to whom a few
cases of early blooms had been turned
over by a South Water street commis-
sion house, which had received the
flowers in a car o£ strawberries. Mr.
Wild was the organizer of the Sarcoxie
strawberry industry. He arranged for
the first refrigerator car which ever
ran out of that town, and in one season,
a few years later, as secretary of the
growers' association he shipped in one
year 2(3;] carloads of strawberries.
Occasionally a case would be pacdted
with peonies, instead of berries. When
these rea(died the Chicago wholesale
florists, they sold so well that more
were wanted. As with the straw-
berrieSj a small beginning soon led to
great develoj>ment. Aow Sarcoxie ships
jieonies by the thousands of dozens and
they go all over the country.

While there are hundreds of straw-
berry growers shipi)ing from Sarcoxie,
the peony business is iiracticall\- all
in the Wild family. There are others,
but thev ilo not count bv comparison
with the Wilds, (iilbert'll. Wild has
probably the largest acreage of peonies
in tlH^ I'nited States. His fiidds co\fr
almost twenty five acres. With him is
associated his father, .lames 1>. Wild.
Their stock is ship]>ed all over the
I'nited States. This year consignments
for iinm(M]iate sale were madt' to whole-
sale florists in New ^'ork, Hrooklyn,
I'hiladelphia, liutValo. Pittsburg, ('in-
cinnati, St. Louis and < liicago, though
the bulk of the cut still goes to Keiiiii
cott Bros. < 'o.. in (hicago, who store
it in antii'ipat ion of the Memnrial da\'
demand. This year (iilbert H. Wild's
sto.'k in storage at Chicago, ^lay l'7.
amounte<l to 4,720 dozens. The ac<(iiM
]'anying illustrations are iirejiared from
|diotogra]ihs of Mr. ^^'ild's liidds nuule
in the early i)art of May of this year.

Ciilbert H. Wild cut this year not
more than one third of the blooms on
that ))art of his stock from wliiidi
blooms are taken; jiart of his lieMs are
grown for the i)roiluction of roots, a
largo business having been worked up
in one and two-eyed roots for the mail
ing trade.

The next largest jteony grower at
Sarcoxie is Wild Bros. Nursery <'o.,
wlii(di is conducted by Henry Wild and
his sons. This concern has something
over five acres in jieonies, growing
both for cut flowers and for stoidc for
the nursery business. The cut flowers
are consigned to Iv H. Hunt, of Chi-
cago, and a goo<l jiart of them go into
storage to be held for Decoration dav.

The Frank Wild Floral Co. also has
about five acres of jieonies, the cut
blooms of which are consigned to the
.1. H. Deamud Co., ("hicago. Another
acre of Sarcoxie peonies is grown by
Mr. Schull, who also is a member of the
Wild familv, related through Mrs. J.
B. Wild.

To northern peony growers, whoso
season this year was anywhere from
one week to three weeks earlier than
usual, it will be interesting to note
that the Sarcoxie growers were nearly
ten days behind. In 1910 Cilbert H.
Wild cut his first peonies April 17 and
the last one April LMJ. This year the
first stock was cut Ajiril 2.1 and the
last shipment was made May 1!>. The
early stock realized fully as good prices
as ever before, but the season at Sar-
coxie was extremely dry and oven l)e-
fore the extreme hot wave arrive<l the
sto(dv showed the efl'ects of lack of
moisture. When the heat came, ship-
l»ing difKculties were added to the
dilliculty of cutting the sto(dc in prime
condition. The result was that the
crop of salable blooms was reduced
through a considerable loss in hand-
ling. The Sarcoxie growers did not
lia\t' this year nearly so profitable a cut
llower season as they had expected, but
they are men of wide experience and
not at all inclined to cry oxer sjiilleil
milk; tlu'v jdaced the blame entirely
u(>on the shoulders of the weather man.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

June 1, 1911.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Everyone seems well satisfied with
Memorial day business. There were really
two brisk markets: The one Saturday,
May 27, oaring for the out-of-town cus-
tomers, especially those a long distaiK'c
away, while Monday was more largely
given up to the demands of Boston and
suburbs. There \¥as a striking and
})lea8ing difference between trade at
Easter and Memorial day. The latest
holiday found all growers in excellent
spirits, as the market had an old-time
snap to it which was cheering. Memorial
day easily ranks as the greatest holi-
day for volume and value of cut flower
sales.

Eoses were in good crop, but we have
seen larger quantities. The weather for
nearly a week before May 27 was ab-
normally cool and sunless, which re-
duced suppJies. 8till there was plenty
to go around. Prices stiffened some-
what, especially on the pink and red
varieties. The demand was, as usutii,
best on grades selling at $3 to $8 per
hundred. Short-stemmed and medium
Beauties, Richmonds, Rhea Reids and
Killarneys were in big demand. Mrs.
Aaron Ward also was popular. Kaiserin
with long stems made up to $12 per
hundred'. Carnations, due to heavy lo-
cal calls on growers, were not over-
abundant and sold at $3 to $5 per hun-
dred, some lower and higher, the scar-
lets and crimsons, as usual, bringing the
best money. Sweet peas made 50 cents
to $1, all good flowers selling with ease.
Tail ends of crops went more slowly.
Lilies and callas were sold at $8 to $12
per hundred.

Some grand large-flowered gladioli,
such as Mrs. F. King and Dawn, made
$1.50 per dozen ; others $(5 to .$8 ])er
hundred. Small flowered sorts, like
Ppach Blossom and Blushing Bride,
avei-age*! $3 per hundred. Good ten
weeks' stocks sold in big qiiantities at
$3 per hundred ; inferior grades soM
lower and singles were iiot wanted at
all. Double feverfew was not over-plen-
tiful and sold at 50 cents per bunch.
Ordinary white candytuft made .$5 per
thousand, but some of superior quality
brought double these prices. Margue-
rites were quite popular at ^l and $1.50
jier iumdreil and sold in large quantities.
Antirrhinums sold quite well, especially
scarlet and pink. Bpira>a .laponica met
with a big sale at $3, Queen Alexandra
making double this price. There was
!in abundant supply of fine outdoor val-
ley, which crippled the sale of the in-
door article. What few tulips appeared
made $4 per hundred. Bunches of
deutzia, lilac, Spira'a Van Houttei and
other shrubs met with a large sale.
Choice flowers, such as cattleyas, long-
stemmed Beauty roses and gardenias, only
madcr a moderate sale. Asparagus Spren-
geri had a heavy sale, also plumosus and
adiahtum.

Geraniums seem to be more popular
than ever. Most of the large growers
are almost cleaned out an<l report a
satisfactory season. Salvias, petunias,
jtansies and other varieties were all in
great demands Hydrangeas, rambler
roses and rhotlod^drons met with a
g0od -sale among other, flowering plants.
Draca?na Australis and variegated vincas
were two plants much in demand.

Various Notes.

Arnold & Petros, the new and enter-
prising Boylston street florists, did a

remarkably heavy Memorial day busi-
ness. They received one order for 343
galax and laurel wreaths for the army
and navy from the government, whicii
helped to keep them busy.

Peirce Bros, did a splendid Memorial
day trade. Among other flowers they
had a grand lot of gladioli and heavy
cuts of double feverfew, stocks, carna-
tions, Spiraea Japonica and marguerites.

Frank T. White, the well known' Hol-
brook florist, is mourning the death of
his mother, who passed away May 24.

P. & W. O. Jahn, of East Bridge-
water, had the finest Fenn carnations 1
noted for Memorial day, also some grand
Georgia, White Enchantress and Fair
Maid.

J. Newman & Sons, on Tremont street,
had an immense Memorial day business,
not only in natural flowers, but in ar-
tificial designs, which they featured.

A. A. Reed, of Whitman, is sending
in a fine lot of Cattleya Gaskelliana.
His crop of C. Mossia) is finished. He
had a heavy local trade for Memorial
day.

J. M. Cohen, the popular salesman at
the Boston Cooperative' Flower Mar-
ket, is back on duty again after a se-
vere attack of tonsUitis, which reduced
his weight twelve pounds.

William H. Tomlinson, of Dorchester,
is marketing the first of his tomato crop.
He had a heavy cut of candytuft for
Memorial day and cleaned out geraniums,
salvias and hydrangeas entirely. W. H.
Carr acts as Mr. Tomlinson 's salesman
at the Boston Flower Exchange.

J. F. Flood, of Woburn, for Memorial
day had excellent l)atches of pink fibrous
begonias, rhododendrons and hydrangeas,
which met with a ready sale May 27
and 29.

The Halifax Garden Co., through N. F.
Capers, sold an immense quantity of high
grade carnations for Memorial day, also
stocks in large numbers and 500 bunches
of mignonette. Their sweet peas arc
finished for the season.

Ladies' night at the Gardeners and
Florists' Club meeting June 20 will, as
usual, attract a large attendance. There
will be an entertainment in lieu of the
regular lecture and an attendance of
300 is expected.

The excessive heat May 23 and a tor-
rential rain storm May 25 ruitied many
late tulips, which several specialists had
been building hopes on for Memorial
day. J. J. Fee and the Sutermeister es-
tate, however, had small batches.

W. C. Bowditch, of Grove Hall, Dor-
chester, has had a great sale lately for
his neat rambler roses, Tausendschon,
Dorothy Perkins and Hiawatha, also
Spirroa Queen Alexandra, of which he
sold a large quantity. K. B. Cobb, of
Canton, also had a fine lot of Queen
Alexandra, also Willow Hill Green-
houses, West Roxbury.

H. M. Robinson & Co. far exceeded
all previous Memorial day records not
only in cut flowers but in galax leaves,
hardy ferns, laurel and sundries. Many
shipments went long distances.

Lewis E. Small, of Tewks»)ury. hnd fiOO
bunches of annual chrysanthemums May
27, which were eagerly bought for bou-
quet work, also a fine lot of Spiriea
Queen Alexandra.

Among shippers of yellow marguerites
in quantity at 2 Park street are E. H.
Ahern, of ' Wellesley ; W. T. Walke, of
Salem, and D. J. Horrigan. of Foxboro.

W. H. Elliott had a fine holiday lot of
Beauties and Kaiserin, also asparagu.j
(Continuod on |)HKe6H.)

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The coming of Memorial day on Tues-
day of this week demonstrated its value
Saturday, when shipments out of town
find the natural week-end demand
caused a pretty thorough clean-up of the
overstocked market, although any f'eai
uplift to' general prices was impossible.

The hot wave which had been (levastat-
ing the west had not yet reached ^'ew
York Sunday, thougji it was proniiBed'for
the early days of this week and its con-
tinuance on arrival is assured by the
weather prophet. The weather has been
hot enough for comfort already, and
the dry spell is ])rolonged until vegeta-
tion is now suffering badly an<l great
damage must ensue if the drought is
not soon broken. Many cut flowers
show the influence of continuous sun-
shine and reach the city in an open con-
dition that renders them unsalable. Some
improvement is anticipated because of
the booking of June weddings and the
school commencements, and it is certain
that even midsummer cannot sliow a
greater lack of business than the month
of May has shown. No such May han
been recordetl by the oldest veteran of
the wholesale cut flower trade. Society
seems to have almost deserted the city.
Retailers complain of the early vanisli-
ing of their customers, many of the
four hundred having gone abroad to at-
tend the coronation.

American Beauty roses are deteriorat-
ing rapidly. Few are worthy of the
name of specials. All the short-stemmed
stock seeks an outlet on the street. Ten
cents a bunch is the street merchant 's
asking price for all roses. There are
few carnations of merit arriving and
few get above a 2-cent top, even with
the expected extra demand for Decora-
tion day. Orchids arc abundant and
down to rock bottom. So are gar-
denias, valley and sweet peas. There
is a great increase in the shipments of
peonies, gladioli and irises and the stock
is exceptionally fine. The south is doing
its share in adding to the volume of the
peony supply, which is increasing also
daily from the local growers, of whom
there is no limit. Everybody seems to
have a lot of them this season. A dull
interlude after Memorial day until the
June weddings move is anticipated.

The Decoration day business proved
excellent in spite of the hot wave that
arrived May 29. The cemetery and out-
of-town florists did a big trade. There
were enormous shipments of roses and
peonies. Top prices, realized only on
fine stock, were about as follows: Roses^
5 cents; Beauties, 15 cents; carnations,
4 cents; peonies, 8 cents. Of course the
greater part of the receipts were sold
far below these rates. Orchids were ia
large supply and were neglected.

Various Notes.

Tuesday, May 3, over 1,000 visitors,
enjoyed the reception tendered the hor-'
ticulturists and others by Doubleday,
Page & Co., of Garden City, L. I. A
special train from the big Pennsylvania
Terminal building in New York was
provided for the guests and an elaborate
lunch followed the inspection of the'
firm's wonderful plant by the host of
visitors. Nothing more complete in all
its requirements seems possible in modern
))ublication work. Over forty acres of
ground have been purchased by the com- ',
pany, at a cost of $250,000. Sixteen'
acres nre devoted to the experimental

The next meeting of the Florists'
Club will take place Monday evening,
June 12, the last meeting of the season,
followed June 28 by the club's annual
outing. Chairman Fenrich is sending
out some seductive literature and a
grand day's sport is thoroughly pro-
vided for. It is necessary to let the
committee know early as to attendance.
The boat leaves at 9:30, giving a 2-hour
sail before the noon dinner. There will
be music, dancing, prizes for the ladies
and children, and an attendance of over

club has a membership of over 300.

The sympathy of the trade is extended
Emil Le Moult in the loss of his wife.
Many beautiful floral tributes attested
the general regret felt in his great be-

trade, died May 24 at his home at
Wissinoming, aged 65 years.

Mr. Ball was, for many years, a
successful grower of choice jtalms,
draca^nasj etc. The product of his
greenhouses was always considered of
the most excellent quality, and his
methods of conducting business most
honorable. Previous to the year 188-4
he was associated in business* with his
brother, Chas. D. Ball, doing business
at the latter 's present location. Holmes-
burg, Philadelphia. At that date the
firm was dissolved. Mr. Ball was, how-
ever, too much attached to the florists'
business to long continue out of it,
and soon purchased })roperty at Wissi-
noming, Philadelphia, erecting the pres-
ent establishment. For several years
thereafter he devoted his energies to
the cultivation of roses and other
plants for cut flowers, but later substi-
tuted ijalms and foliage plants. For
many years he concentrated his efforts
on such plants, i)roducing only the
choicest stock. His presence and his
fine exhibits at the S. A. F. conven-
tions will be missed by his many
friends and by those who have long
done business with him.

Mr. Ball's illness was of short dura-
tion, the physicians not considering him
seriously ill until about one week pre-
vious to his death. The deceased was
a member of the S. A. F., the Florists '
Club of Philadelphia, and the Pennsyl-
vania Horticultural Society. He is sur-
vived by one married daughter.

Charles Annitage.

On Monday, May 22, Hitchings &
Co., the greenhouse builders, were de-
prived, by death, of their president,
Charles Armitage. He died of heart
disease, at his home, 11 Irving street,
Montclair, N. J. He was 65 years of
age. His health had been failing for
about two years, and during the last
half year he had been unable to be at
his place in the office. A few weeks
ago an automobile in which he was
riding was struck by another car and
he suffered a severe shock, from the
effects of which he never entirely ral-
lied. The funeral services were held at
his late residence, on W^ednesday, May
24, and the interment was private.

He had been an official of the com-
pany since the death of its founder,
Mr. Hitchings. He lived in New York
city many years before making his
home in Montclair, fourteen years ago.
He was a member of the Montclair
Club, the Montclair Dramatic Society
and the Montclair A. C.

His son, F. A. Armitage, is connected
with Hitchings & Co. as sales manager.
The other surviving members of his
family are his wife and four daughters.

Uoyd G. Blick.

The demise of Lloyd G. Blick, at Nor-
folk, Va., May 18, was recorded in The
Review for May 25. Edward Reid, one
of Mr. Blick 's Philadelphia friends,
sends the following supplementary no-
tice, with a request for its publication:

"Lloyd G. Blick, the well-known Nor-
folk florist, and a most highly esteemed
citizen, passed away yesterday evening
at 9:20 o'clock at his home, Linden-
hurst, after an illness of eight months.

in the forty-sixth year of his age. Few
men were blessed with a happier dispo-
sition than Mr. Blick, which made him
very popular. 80 companionable was
he, indeed, that it was a privilege to
know him, and no one in the city had
a wider acquaintance or larger circle of
friends, each of whom will feel his de-
mise as a personal loss.

"His kindness of nature and affabil-
ity were most remarkable, and he was a
man of sterling integrity, all of which
built up for him a large floral trade.
He took great interest in his business,
made it a study in all its branches, and
became an authority on floriculture.

"He was an enthusiastic fraternity
man and traveled long distances in
attending the national lodges. He was
a member of the Elks, Eagles, Royal
Arcanum, Maccabees, Society of Amer-
ican Florists, the Norfolk Board of
Trade and the Hampton Roads Yacht
Club, and was a director of the Bank
of Norfolk.

"He is survived by a brother, J. W.
Blick, and two sisters. Miss Lovey A.
Blick, who was his companion in busi-
ness, and Mrs. Rosa E. Stewart.

"The funeral occurs Sunday after-
noon at 4 o'clock at his late residence?
on Avenue C, Ninth ward, Rev. R. F.
Gayle, of the Cumberland Street Meth-
odist Church, and Rev. Vernon 1 'Anson,
D. D., of Grace Baptist Church, offi-
ciating. Interment in Elmwood. The
casket will be handled by six colored
men, at the request of the deoeaseil.
There will be honorary pallbearers."

John G. Forbes, Sr.

John G. Forbes, Sr., formerly in busi-
ness as a grower at Auburndale, Mass.,
died at his home on Lexington street,
Newton, Mass., May 19. The funeral
services were held at his home on Sun-
day, May 21. The interment was at
the Newton cemetery.

LILIES FOB CHBISTMAS.

Can I get Harrisii, Formosa, longi-
florum or other lilies into bloom for
Christmas? If so, howl Do callas
flower under the same conditions?

W. D. H.

Longiflorum, Formosa and Harrisii
lilies, also speciosum album and rubrum,
can all be had in flower for Christmas.
Usually Harrisii arrive sufficiently early
to flower them on time if plenty of
heat, say 65 degrees at night when
well rooted and started, can be given.
Formosas last season arrived quite early
and some growers managed to bloom
them at Christmas. This is .a more va-
riable type than Harrisii. It includes
quite a variety of seedlings, but we can
hardly recommend it as a desirable
Christmas sort, although in January,
February and March it is good.

Longiflorums arrive much too late to
be flowered for Christmas; therefore,
cold storage bulbs should be secured
and potted about the middle of July.
Keep these cool until well rooted and
started, after which a steady night
temperature of 60 to 65 degrees should
be given. Speciosums should be potted
early in July. They succeed best in a
little lower temperature than the longi-
florums. Callas potted early in August
will flower freely by Christmas in a
temperature of 55 to 60 degrees at
night. Try the new Godfrey calla,
which is a marked improve«ent on tho
old C. ^thiopica. C. "W.

The party of British horticultural
traders who visited America at the time
of the Boston flower show held a reunion
in London May 24, during the Temple
show, with a considerable attendance of
others in the trade to listen to the dis-
cussion of things American.

J. A. Valentine, Denver, has just is-
sued p booklet entitled "The New Home
of the Park Floral Co." It is well
printed and tells its story so well and in
so few words that every copy sent out
is pretty sure to be read through. There
are, in addition to the printer's decora-
tions, nine handsome illustrations, seven
reproductions of photographs and two
of water colors, the latter in colors. Such
advertising efforts cannot but build up
the business in the interest of which they
are distributed.

HEAT HURTS BUSINESS.

The heat wave which traversed the
country from west to east last week
caused a loss of many thousands of dol-
lars to the trade. The east was for-
tunate that the heat wave did not ar-
rive until after the bulk of the Memo-
rial day business had been done, but
in the Mississippi valley the crest of
the hot weather came just before the
shipping had to be done, doing much
damage to the quality of all stock and
reducing its selling value. Many flo-
rists were compelled to call on whole-
sale markets, for the reason that their
own stock was so poor that they did not
wish to offer it to their customers, but
the wholesale markets were in the same
predicament; there was an abundance
of stock, but it was so poor that it was
offered only because there was nothing
better. As always in such cases, car-
nations, usually the most popular flower
made the most trouble. Carnations sim-
ply will not ship under such conditions
as prevailed. The peony came to the
rescue. Not only were large quantities
in cold storage at various points, but
stock was brought into the market for
Memorial day which ordinarily is not
ready to cut until well along in June.

In many cases peonies were the finest
flowers available, and, if such were pos-
sible, this Memorial day has added to
the^pi^tUlarity of the,peony.

BULLETIN ON SWEET PEAS. .,

The first report of the cooperative
work between the National Street Pea
SoCltty a»d the Horticyltural Depart-
Went of ojIfne^UniverBity is being pub-
Hshed a^R mWetjyuof ^he Cornell Ex-

sweet pea culture, and by non-residents
who are members of the National Sweet
Pea Society. The secretary of this so-
ciety is Harry A. Bunyard, care of Ar-
thur T. Boddington, 342 West Four-

This first bulletin contains mainly the
results of fall and spring planting tests,
in addition to a thorough study of the
forcing or winter-flowering type of
sweet peas. The department of horti-
culture has been studying these types
under glass for the last two seasons, and
this bulletin contains the results of this
study. The bulletin has been prepared
by Prof. John Craig and A. C. Beal, of
the department of horticulture.

These were the ofiicial temperatures
in the shade in the weather man's aery;
on the street level and in the green-
houses last week's temperature was far
higher. It not only broke all records
for heat in May, but it tells the story
of the Decoration day business. The
success of what otherwise would un-
doubtedly have been the biggest flower
holiday the middle west ever has known
was spoiled simply by the fact that the
unprecedented heat made the stock too
poor to ship with satisfaction. Orders
were endless— the demand was enormous
— and there was an abundance of stock,
such as it was. All the factor&'in the
least under control had been so handled
as to provide tlie basis for a wonderful
business. Only the weather was at
fault.

The usual number of advance orders
had been booked and the shipping be-
gan heavily as early as May 27, when
the wholesalers found themselves con-
fronted with the most diflicult problem
in years. Three days of midsummer
heat, when temperatures ran far above
100 degrees in the greenhouses, had de-
prived all stock of the quality usually
to be expected at the season. Carna-
tions were more seriously affected than
other flowers, but everything was soft.
The wholesalers knew perfectly well
that the stock could not be expected to
carry long distances and arrive in first-
class shape. On the other hand, to fail
to ship was to impose certain disap-
pointment upon their customers. The
shipper was literally between the devil
and the deep sea; whatever he did was
sure to be wrong. Quite a number of
the wholesalers put the proposition up
to their customers by letter or by wire.
The same condition disturbed the busi-
ness of May 28, which had been ex-

CHICAGO

pected to prove the big shipping day.
There were immense quantities of stock
in all the wholesale houses, but little of
it was orood enough to be shipped with
confidence. The result was a demorali-
zation never before witnessed in this
market. Buyers were canceling, whole-
salers were wiring that they could not
ship, and wholesalers' buyers were run-
ning around from house to house trying
to pick up material better than the
stock standing on their own counters.

The weather turned cool May 28, the
temperature falling steadily all day, and
by afternoon it had reached normal,
when there was an immediate improve-
ment in conditions, but most of all an
improvement in sentiment. By Monday
buyers in the country had been freshly
inspired and the wholesale market in
CHicago was again doing big business.
Of course it was too soon for the change
in weather to have any appreciable ef-
fect on the quality of stock, but it gave
better shipping conditions and it gave
everyone fresh courage. The shipping
on the eve of Memorial day was the
heaviest ever known in this market for
so late an hour.

There was just one trouble with the
Memorial day business — the weather.
It was inevitable that stock should ship
poorly. How could it be otherwise?
Perfectly fresh flowers, as good as there
were, set on a wholesaler's counter
would deteriorate so rapidly that one
could almost see them going back. The
t0rridity seemed to be general all over
the Mississippi valley and stock could
not be expected to ship as it usually
<loes. Complaints were natural, but
every buyer who was disappointed
should bear in mind that the wholesaler
had only two choices: he could send the
best there was, or he could throw the
order down. There was nothing else to
do.

I'^nder the conditions it is useless to
disclli^s supj)ly of the various items.
There were great quantities of all kinds
of flowers, but really good stock was so
scarce that it hardly was to be obtained.
While the average prices were far lielow
what they have been for any recent Me-
morial day. the little good s(ock com-
nianded a premium. The waste was
enormous, but the stock that was good
enough to be usable finally cleaned up
in fair shaj^c.

The peony was the best flower of the
season. The supply was much heavier
than ever before, largely because the
local crop was in, something which has
not happened since the peony became
an important factor. Thousands of doz-

other hand the best stoii realized $8

keeping quality is still expected to real-
ize something lor the producers.

There are now large supplies in all
lines and the quality has been toned up.
Demand is fair and a good June is
looked for. There is an abundance of
the June specialties: Cattleyas, valley,
lilies, Beautier, Killarneys and sweet
peas, though the latter show the effects
of the heat rather more than any other
flower.

May Business.

May affords an unwelcome contrast to
the general course of events in this mar-
ket. Business has increased almost un-
interruptedly for years, each month show-
ing a larger vohime than the same month
in any j)receding year. But in May
there was a setback. Tho supply of
stock was abnormally large, quality was
unusually poor and demand was ex-
tremely slack, all because the weather
throughout the month was much warmer
than it ever has been before since cut
flowers have been largely dealt in. There
were higli hopes that Memorial day,
which has been, rapidly increasing in
importance in recent years, would give
?> volume of business that would offset
the poor record of the rest of the month,
but, on the contrary, the heat wave May
-5 to 27 made the last week of the
month, by comparison with last year,

FHILADELFHIA.

The Rising Eastern Market.

The cut flower market steadily im-
proved until Memorial day, under the
influence of increased social activity.

The conditions surrounding Memorial
day business were decidedly mixed.
First and foremost, the weather was
extraordinarily hot, bringing in an enor-
mous crop of flowers. Then, it was
dry; so dry that the outdoor flowers
were affected. lastly, and this is a fa-
vorable condition, it was beautifully
clear, just the kind of weather when
flowers seem desirable. The result of
these conditions was a too large quan-
tity of inferior flowers that brought lit-
tle, a moderate quantity of superior
flowers that brought fair prices, and an
exceedingly small quantity of fine flow-
ers that brought really excellent prices.
The demand is even more difficult to de-
scribe than the supply. The fashionable
florists in and out of town do not want
flowers on Memorial day to any extent;
the suburban florists do want quantity,
particularly those near the large ceme-
teries, while the florists in and about
the battle towns occupy the foremost
position at this time. For them the
finest Festiva maxima are selected, and
the finest of many other varieties of
peonies, and other showy flowers. The
prices realized Memorial day are rather
lower on peonies than in preceding
years. The popular price is from $40
to .$60 per thousand for select stock,
with $8 to $10 per hundred for extra
fine stock. Select roses brought $4,
T)?ith $6 per hundred asked for fancies,
occasionally $8. Carnations are in
shofter supply than either roses or peo-
nies, colored carnations being at times
(juite scarce; $30 to $40 per thousand
was the price, with $5 per hundred
reached on a very, very few. These
prices all refer to good flowers, no poor
or open stock included.

With these flowers the bulk of the
Memorial day business was done, the
others taking an unimportant part.
White it is too soon to sum up yet, it is
probable that an increase over preced-
ing years will be shown in the total
business for the holiday, while prices,

generally speaking, are lower. An ex-

brought from $3 to $4 per dozen, but
this is under the influence of buying

not dependent on Memorial day.

C. Eisele is one of the oldest and
beat known Philadelphia florists. He
represents the old school in a way in
which I wish it were always repre-
sented, for it takes no common ability
to do business with the old stock in
these modern days.

I mean by this that Mr. Eisele "s
stock comprises many of those rare
and highly prized old-fashioned flowers
that made up the gardens of some years
ago and that are so often sought in
vain today. It does not seem half so
difficult for a grower to devote his

or roses, or to chrysanthemums, Christ-

devote it to a miscellaneous collection
and make it pay. Mr. Eisele does this

range. They would find something
more than this, for the place is pre-
sided over by a genial former collector
of rare plants, whose whole interest
and personality are thrown into his
work and with whom an hour seems but
a few minutes wlien he is talking of
bis pets.

The place occuiHed by Mr. Eisele in
the commercial world of plants is strik-
ingly similar to the position occupied

by ex-Governor Stuart in the commer-
cial world of books. When you want
a new book, just jmblished, or a stand-
ard work that is in everyday demand,
you go to one or other of the large
book stores, but when yoli want a rare
gem, once prized but now seldom seen,
you go to Leary 's Book Store, owneil
and operated by Edwin H. Stuart, late-
ly governor of Pennsylvania, and there
you are pretty sure to find it. So it
is with Mr. Eisele; he has the rare

old i>lant gems and he depends on them
and on the florists all over the country
to carry on his business successfully.
Mr. Eisele is exceedingly busy shijiping
his plants to many distant points.

Less attention used to be paid to the BASKET thau to its contents ; almost anything would do, because the flow-

Now a handsome BASKET is indispensable. We do not mean an expensive basket, but oifi^ that has style, beau-

Our BASKETS are recognized as the standard all over the country. If you have not already used them, we

They went first to Wyndmoor, where
they were hospitably received by John
Burton. Mrs. Burton entertained the
party at luncheon and they visited
the three Burton places — the father's
and those of the two sons, Alfred and
George. Temperature, not so easily
controlled on that fierce day, soil, vari-
eties, culture — in fact, everything per-
taining to the profession of rose grow-
ing, with a little horticultural con-
struction, chemistry and so forth added,
was discussed by the professor and the
rose growers for the benefit of the
students.

Then came a visit to the establish-
ment of Myers & Samtman, where the
large houses of Beauties, Hilda and My
Maryland were inspected. Frank P.
Myers explained that his place should
have been visited first, as they were
only amateur rose growers, and he sup-
ported this statement by pointing out
that the roses were all, in benches,
which is the way in which everyone
learns to grow them, whereas those of
all the other rose growers around Phila-
delphia are in solid beds.

Eoslyn cama next, and under the
guidance of Mr. Myers the places of
Adolph Farenwald, Victor Groshens and
Edward Towill were visited. The new
president of the American Rose Society
here joined the party and they went
to North Wales to see the vast glass
acreage of the Florex Gardens, with
the immense quantities of roses, car-
nations and tomatoes. The day was
full of interest for all and will, let us
hope, prove an inspiration to these
horticulturists to do even . greater
things.

The Main-Line Flower Show.

A flower show was held in the casino
of the Merion Cricket Club at Haver-
ford Saturday, May 27, under the aus-
pices of the Gardeners' and the Weeders'
Clubs, two social organizations of the
smart set. The show brought out an
excellent list of exhibits from the gar-
deners and amateurs interested.

The most effective exhibits were
handle baskets of peonies beautifully
arranged; one of pure white peonies in
a white enameled basket, finished with
a white and green striped satin ribbon;

another of pink peonies in basket to
match, and another of shrubs in a greeu
basket. Oriental poppies lent effective-
ness, with, their handsome scarlet color-
ing. A bowl of water lilies was inuch
admired.

The most effective plants were a
geranium, fuchsia and heliotrope trained
in umbrella form and well flowered.

The Henry A. Dreer Co. exhibited 100
varieties of roses, many of them novel-
ties, from their collection at Eiverton.
The exhibit was in charge of John S.
Hay. The Henry F. Miehell Co. also
made a handsome show of its specialties
to aid the gardeners and amateurs in
what would be, for them, an unequal
struggle with insect pests and unpro-
ductive soil. The Morris Nursery Co.
made a handsome exhibit of evergreens.
The decorative groups were fine. Among
the celebrities present were J. Otto Thi-
low and I^vid Bust.

It has been generally stated that the
children of the Sunday and public
schools, who have been industriously
working under the auspices of these

clubs, would make their exhibits at this
show. For their benefit the Henry F.
Miehell Co. contributed 2,500 packages
of seed. The Henry A. Dreer Co. had
also made a generous contribution to en-
courage the children's love for garden-
ing, but the show was too early for the
youthful exhibitors, who will have to
hoe and weed and, as it looks now, water
industriously for some time to come.
One dish of radishes there was, as an
appetizer, so to speak.

Various Notes.

Lemuel Ball, well known palm grower
of Wissinoming, died on the evening of
May 24. His funeral took place May 27.
Mr. Ball was a brother of Charles D.
Ball, of Holmesburg.

Charles E. Lehman, of Stokes Bros.
Co., has been largely instrumental in in-
creasing the popularity of cypress among
the florists and mushroom growers of
this vicinity.

Robert Shoch, of M. Rice & Co., has
returned from a good southern trip.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. will close at 1

p. m. Saturdays in June, July and
August.

Robert A. Craig expects to be able
to offer some of the fancy dracsenas in
quantity this season.

Paul J. Klingsborn, of Berger Bros.,
says that Princeton is without doubt the
best pink rose in the market today.

Charles E. Meehan returned May 29,
much benefited by his trip to Ocean
City.

The weather has been unusually favor-
able for the cemetery florists. Clear
weather for a week and Memorial day
superb, they did a big business.

John C. Gracey says that Memorial
day was quiet uptown. Mr. Gracey is a
leader there, with his two fine stores.

The business of the late Lemuel Ball
will be continued. James Wade will
grow the stock, as before, while Mr.
Ball's brother-in-law will attend to tho
business.

Pennock Bros, had their usual hanci-
some immortelle design for the tomb cJ'

NABCISSI NOT FLOWERING.

Enclosed you will find a narcissus
bulb. Quite a large patch of these
recently came to my notice. Every year
the bulbs make a good growth and
form buds, but the buds never open.
They dry up, as you will see by the
enclosed bulb. Can you explain the
cause and give a remedy?

G. H. II.

The bulb resembles the old poeticus,
but is probably one of the old double
gardenia-scented variety, N. alba plena
odorata, the latest of the narcissi to
bloom and valuable where it can be
successfully flowered. There are two
probable causes of the blighting of the
buds: First, overcrowding of the bulbs;
second, a deficiency of moisture. All
the stronger growing narcissi of the
Burbidgei, poeticus and Leedsii types,
if in good ground, should be lifted and
replanted every third or fourth year.
Lift them after the foliage has matured
and replant them about the end ol
October. N. alba plena odorata is an
erratic variety and few growers succeed
in flowering it satisfactorily. I find it
does best in low, rather moist ground.
In dry ground nine-tenths of the buds
fail to open.- C. W.

•Decorati6niaa3i*TOfcine8S, so far, is qdl<
that is evqf f o^tpected of it and 1thl&
some. If there are some complaints
from out-of-town people about b^d
flowers, it is not surprising, for if a
box remains in the sun for any length
of time, the stpck in it is likely to be
cooked. At this date, May 27, the tem-
perature continues to ride in' the 90 's,
getting as high as 99 degrees, with no
rain. This is hard on carnations in the
field. Most of the growers were de-
layed about two weeks in getting their
■plants out, on account of rain, and there
has been no rain since planting.

Plantsmen were never rushed harder
and it is safe to say there never was a
season when the general planting was
so nearly completed before June 1. It
would not be wise to say that there had
been any increase in the plant trade,
but at least it seemed as good as last
year.

Peonies, syringas and some outside
roses were in bloom for Decoration day.

GARY WANTS A GREENHOUSE

Here is a substantial city of 25,000, founded by the big United States Steel Corporation and

BUILT TO STAY

There is no greenhouse within several miles, yet we know there is a big demand here for
flowers and plants now brought from Chicago.

We stand ready to help a first-class florist who has a little capital and is looking for a
safe, sure and profitable inveDtment. To such a man we will sell on especially easy terms
a suitable tract of land and will use our influence to help him work up a good business. The
profits will easily pay for the land and houses in a few years, as the factories and mills now
under cuDStructlon and planned will require a city of 150 000 or more people in the next ten
years.

A knowledge of landscape gardening is desirable, as much of this work is done here and
at present we have to send to Chicago for the men.

If you are interested and can give good references WRITK US TODAY.

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.

To be represented costs only 70 cents per week on a yearly order. This is for one-inch space.

ideal May weather, with the exception
of a little wind. The sun has been ex-

there is always a cool breeze from the

acts the heat of the sun and makes the
weather delightful.

All stock is in fine shape, and every-

Pres., B. L. Page, Greene, N. Y.; First Vlce-
Prea., L.. B. Vanghan, Chicago; Sec'r and
Treas., C. B. Kendel, Cleveland, O. Twenty-
ninth annual meeting, Marblebead, Mass., Jane
20 to 22. 1011.

Quite a few bulb importers, who under
protest paid duty at $2.50 per thousand
on hyacinths the last two seasons, have
handsome rebates coming from the gov-
ernment.

James Good & Co., Ashland, Wis., have
planted sixty-five acres of peas, for a seed
crop, just outside that town. Senator
Sanborn was up from Madison to su-
pervise the planting.

James Cubbie, as forecast in this col-
umn some weeks ago, has been appointed
a member of the park board at Milwau-
kee. So thoroughly Socialistic is the city
administration that the newspapers there,
in discussing the appointment, thought it
necessary to comment on the fact that
Mr. Currie is not a Socialist.

Steess of competition has carried the
prices of tulip mixtures to the point
where the duty of $1 per thousand gives
the government more money than would
have been paid under the old ad valorem
rate of twenty-five per cent. And on some
of the most largely sold named bedding
and florists' varieties the dollar duty
amounts to as much as would have been
paid were the old rate still in force.

Heney Mette, Quedlinburg, has found
the 2-cent letter rate to Germany not the
most satisfactory arrangement and ad-
vises that "To secure a prompt arrival
of their orders, I would recommend my
esteemed friends and customers to use
a 5-cent stamp for their letters; as let-
ters franked with a 2-cent stamp are for-
warded only by a limited number of
steamers and, therefore, travel about
twice the time as those franked with a
5-cent stamp."

F. A. FOEBES, of Forbes' Seed Store,
says that a larger acreage than usual has
been planted to onions in the locality of
Plymouth, Ind., this spring. Many grow-
ers have had considerable acreage eaten
up by insects of some kind. Some are
replanting, some planting cabbage, some
carrot, some let the weeds take it. Some
growers had "blow outs" just before the
splendid rain of May 22. One lost nine
teen acres in that way. He replants a
portion. Rain was much needed and will
prove a great help.

Mention The Review when you write.

In 1910 the Holland bulb growers ex-
ported slightly over 16,966 tons of bulbs.

P. G. Johnson & Co., Harrisville,
Mich., are the successors of the Sheap-
Johnson Seed Co., contract pea growers.
F. G. Johnson is president, and C. B.
Pyle vice-president and treasurer.

C. H. Kennerly, of Kennerly's Seed
Store, Palatka, Fla., has written and
published a 140-page book, "Facts and
Figures, or the A. B. C. of Florida
Trucking." He doesn't think it will
hurt the sale of Kennerly's seeds and
he won't lose any money on it at $1 a
copy.

This has been a season during which
the older mail order seed houses have, as
a rule, broken no records, though they
liave, in general, rolled up an excellent
season's total of sales. On the other
hand, the newer seed houses, especially
those in the south, southwest and west,
have gone ahead rather faster than ever
before. Planters would rather buy seeds
near home, and do so as soon as they
gain confidence in the local seed dealers
equal to that the old houses have estab-
lished by years of conscientious dealing.

The winter in Denmark was mild and
not moist, so that the overwintering of
cabbages was extraordinarily good, with
only a small percentage of death heads:
five to ten per cent of the late cabbage
and thirty-five per cent of the early cab-
bage, report Hjalmar Hartmann & Co.,
of Copenhagen. The heads started
growth early, but severe frost with
storms April 5, 6 and 7 somewhat in-
jured the new shoots and it is not
easy to say to what extent this late

winter will affect the further growing,
but as for the present outlook (May 6)
the crop is prosperous.

May has given the mail-order seed
houses a splendid run of business, gen-
erally much above the records of other
years.

Quite .a few bulb importers, who under
protest paid duty at $2.50 per thousantl
ou hyacinths the last two seasons, have
handsome rebates coming from tlie gov-
ernment.

James Good & Co., Ashland, Wis., have
planted sixty-five acres of peas, for a seed
crop, just outside that town. Senator
Sanborn was up from Madison to su-
pervise the planting.

.James Currie, as forecast in this col-
umn some weeks ago, has been appointed
a member of the park board at Milwau-
kee. So thoroughly Socialistic is the city
administration that the newspapers there,
in discussing the appointment, thought it
necessary to comment on the fact that,
Mr. Currie is not a Socialist.

Stress of competition has cai-i-iiM) tlie
prices of tulip mixtures to tiic point
where tiie duty of $1 ])cr tliousand ^ives
the government more money tlian wculd
have been paid under the old ad vahireui
rate of twenty-five per cent. And on some
of tlie most largely sold named liedding
and florists' varieties tlie dollar duty
amounts to as much as would liave been
paid were tlie old rate still in force.

Henry Mette, Qm-dlinbuig, has found
the 2-cent letter rate to Germany not ihe
most satisfactory arrangement and ad-
vises that "To secure a prompt arrival
of their orders, I would recommend my
esteemed friends and eiistoiii'M's to usf
a 5-cent stamp for their letters; as let-
ters franked with a 2-ceiit stamp are for-
warded only liy a limited mimlier of
steamers and, tliercfore, ti'avel about
twice tlu' time as tlmsc !'i-;uii\i'il witli ;i
il-ccnt stamp."

F. A. l-'uKHES. uf FoiKi-:' See'! Sti.rc.
says that a larger acrr'aue than usual ha-.
been planti'd to onions in the locality of
Plymouth, ind., this >pring. Many gmw-
eis have had considerable aireage eaten
up by insects of some kind. S(jnic aro
rei)laiiting, some planting cabbage, some
earrot, some let the weeds take it. Some

IMFOBTS OF SEEDS.

The official government figures of the
value of the imports of seeds of all
classes in the last five years are as
follows:

Year. Value.

1910 $14,693,776

1909 5,958,019

1908 6,371,470

1907 6,404,776

1906 5,388,043

The almost tripling of the total for

1910 as compared with 1909 is due to
the increase in the importation of flax-
seed, from $831,871 in 1909 to $8,548,-
837 in the following year. Five years
ago the government put all seeds under
two heads, flaxseed and * ' all other, ' '
but in 1910 the following subdivisions
were made: -

Kind. Value.

Castor beans $ 831,056

THE SEASON IN QEBMANY.

The German seed growers are having
no respite from the unfavorable weath-
er conditions which have hampered
their operations for so long a time.
In the Erfurt district the spring of
the present year has been one of the
driest on record, though several recent
seasons have been marked by a lack
of moisture. Planting has been prose-
cuted with difficulty because of the dry-
ness of the soil. On the whole, the
crops are generally backward, and the
prospect more mixed than usual at this

date. One of the results of the dryness
and heat has been an unparalleled at-
tack by vermin, the most vigorous
measures being necessary this year to
save the plants. The root crops were
aeriously attacked, and those carrots of
the finer garden kinds suffered severely.
The field kinds suffered less, but tur-
nips, parsnips and kohlrabi were badly
affected. Beet came off somewhat bet-
ter and the brassicas, while not un-
scathed, promise well. Cauliflowers are
quite up to the average.

At Quedlinburg the winter also was
mild and April 2 there came a heat
wave, followed a few days later by
extreme cold, frost doing a great deal
of harm to growing seed crops, bien-
nials and perennials, as well as early
sown annuals. Some fields of the lat-
ter were entirely destroyed by the frost
and had to be resown. The weather
in this district also has been extremely
dry, making planting unusually difficult
and many of the seeds slow to germi-
nate. On the whole, the Quedlinburg
growers consider their start this year
one of the poorest in many seasons.
Business in both vegetable and flower
seeds this season was unusually good.

EASTERN PEAS ABE LATE.

An authority in the canning trade
said the other day: "Interest now cen-
ters in the pea situation, which is some-
what unusual. The dry weather pre-
vailing in most of the producing sec-
tions has retarded the development of
crops and put the packing season back
a week or more. The reports from Del-
aware and the eastern shore are espe-
cially doleful. According to these the
vines are not over a few inches high
and are already in bloom, so that if
irain does not come soon the canners
are afraid they will not get much more
than half of last season's pack. Few
of the prominent southern packers have
yet made quotations, and they are not
anxious to secure orders until they get
a better line on their probable pack.
Reports from Indiana are not reassur-
ing for those buyers who looked for
early deliveries from that quarter, as,
according to all accounts, the crop there
is at least a week later than usual. Not
much is being said with reference to
Wisconsin prospects, but the inference
is that they are no worse than usual at
this time of the year, or, in other
words, that an average pack may be
expected. ' '

AUTOS AID CANXEBS.

The canners find the automobile
makes possible a radical change in
methods, greatly increasing their radius
of operations. In discussing the sub-
ject, George G. Bailey, of Eome, N. Y.,'
formerly president of the National Can-
ners' Association, said:

"As you know, one of the chief ob-
stacles the canner always has faced
in maintaining a sufficient output has
been his ability to grow enough raw
material near enough to the factory to
bring it from the field, prepare it and
get it into the cookers while fresh and
crisp. "With farmers dependent on
horse-drawn wagons for hauling their
produce to the canneries, stuff would
wilt and be useless for canning pur-
poses if grown more than three or four
miles from the plant. It has meant re-
(?tricted acreage on the one side or sup-
plementary plants in scattered centers
as the alternative.

truck with large body, capable of carry-
ing large loads of peas and beans, vines
and all, just as mowed from the field,
to the threshers. We were surprised
at the results. In fact, our range of
producing material was so extended
that we were justified in setting up our
threshers in various growing centers,
and were able to rush the cleaned vege-
tables to the canneries before they had
a chance to wither. Today we have in-
creased the growing radius from about
five miles to fifteen miles from our
plant.

"I have made figures on the cost and
find that the economies of trucks are
very striking, even though we have to
lay them up idle during several months
in the winter. For our purposes, how-
ever, the truck service is not to be
measured solely by the cash economies
but by service, and we are able to do
more business and produce more and
better goods in our canneries than
would have been possible by the use of
horse trucks or farmers' wagons. The
automobile offers canners an immense
opportunity, in my opinion."

The Market.

There is little change of market con-
ditions to report for this week. The
demand was a little better, but the
stock was poor. There is an abundance
of carnations and the local trade is
buying only the best grades. The same
can be said of roses and sweet peas.
The extremely hot weather had a bad
effect on all consignments shipped in.
Peonies are still plentiful; so are lilies
and valley.

The approach of Memorial day should
clean up pretty well all the surplus
stock on hand. Prices will probably
go up a little, but not much. After
this comes school graduations and June
weddings, and we all expect some good
business. After June 15, not much of

Just as sure as little apples,
some growers could make
more money doing general
housework than growing lily
bulbs. They persist upon
buying the cheapest they can
and expect the best results.
There is as much difference
in lily bulbs as between a
buzzard and a bird of para-
dise. It always pays to buy
the best, and the best pro-
duced, of course, are not the
cheapest. Grow them well —
take care of them — they want
plenty of moisture — and
remember that liquid manure
is to lilies what yeast is to
bread — they must have it to
be good. There is no better
flower than a lily for funeral
work and nothing more
appropriate — your business
requires them all the year
around. Cold storage Horse-
shoe Brand lily bulbs ready

delivery.

Various Notes.

John G. Esler, secretary of the rio-
rists' Hail Association, Saddle River,
N. J., was a recent visitor. In com-
pany w^ith J. F. Ammann, one of the
directors of the association, he visited
several of the large places that lost
heavily in the recent hail storm. Quite
a number who were without insurance
made application for membership.

S. S. Seligman was here last week in
the interest of his firm, Wertheimer
Bros. He had a good run of business.

Martin Reukauf, representing H. Bay-
e/sdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, is here
this week, calling on the trade. He
says business has been good in his line
since starting out on his present trip.

The members of the Retail Florists'
Association should not forget to attend
an important meeting of the associa-
tion on Monday night, June 5, at 8
0 'clock.

Frank Weber has his hands full these
days getting everything in readiness for
the annual meeting of the American As-
sociation of Nurserymen, to meet in
convention here June 14 to 16, at the
Southern hotel. He is being assisted
by all the local nurserymen.

Albert Scheidegger, of Kirkwood, is
at work making alterations in his green-
houses and heating system. In the
midst of his work he suffered a bad
fall, which kept him back a few days
last week.

The Bentzen Floral Co. had an ex-
ceptionally big season in bedding plants
at the Grand avenue store. This firm
has had an exceedingly busy week in
funeral work. The season for planting
out is now about over.
. Charles Wors has the concessions for
the sale of cut flowers at Delmar Gar-
den and West End Heights park.

On Sunday, June 4, will be held the
first Sunday opening this year of
Shaw's Garden. Superintendent H. C.
Irish has his large force at work put-
ting things in good shape and, weather
permitting, a record attendance is
looked for. This and the first Sunday
in September are the two events the
public looks forward to with delight.

John Barnard is again with the firm
of Grimm & Gorly, at 702 Washington
avenue, ' in the design department.
Henry Kahrs is no longer connected
with the firm.

The best and most salable Freesia in the American and European markets. Our stock of this
now popular and famous Freesia is the largest in this country. We have bulbs that have been grown
under glass (the illustration shows one of our houses), also bulbs grown by the originator, R. Fischer.
Both of these stocks are the true Purity stock, from which we receive our bulbs. The very highest
quality is guaranteed. The demand for this, variety in all the wholesale markets is persistent and
universal. Its popularity is undiminished; practically it has no competitor.

FLOWERS

SPECIALTIE

Here are the things every florist needi

THE FINE

ORCHIDS-CATTLEYAS

Nowadays your best customers will not be satisfied unless you use Orchids
in your good work— especially for Corsages and in Wedding and Commencement
work. You can ^ et the finest Cattleyas of us. For June we have arran^d
for a specially large supply of the very finest c|uality of blooms. It is good policy
to place all orders a few days in advance if possible, no matter what stock is
wanted, but we seldom need notice on Cattlej as— practically always have fine
stock on hand.

We can supply White Orchids, or any special variet]/ in season on a few days' notice.

KILURNEYS

BEAUTIES

Anticipating the heavy June demand
for fine Roses, we arranged for a special
crop of Killarneys, white and pink.
These are now beginning to come in
and are much superior to the stock now
being cut from plants that were in crop
in the hot weather of May. Order of us
if you want the best color, substance,
stem, foliage— our June Killarneys are
strictly fine.

Summer Beauties always are a spec-
ialty with us— an<l the cut from the
summer houses is coming in, jast in
time for the weddings and school clos-
ings. You will find these Beauties liet-
ter than anything cut from plants that
have been forced all winter. Glad to
have your orders. We can supply
practically any quantity without notice.
Just give us time to pack the boxes.

FANCY VALLEY

Call on us at any time; we always have it.
—the beet there is.

No limit to our ability to supply

BUHERFLY SWEET PEAS

There is no finer stock than these— they make a hit wherever used ; long stems,
large wavy flowers ; exquisite in wedding bouquets or other fine work. Any color.

DAISIES, Yellow and White

If these are to be had on this market, we have them, but the demand is such
at this season that frequently a whole day's receipts is ordered up in advance.

FANCY LILIES

You will need these for some of your June decorations. We can supply fine
stock in quantity at low prices.

CARNATIONS

Many large buyers who have years of experience with flowers from this mar-
ket say they prefer our Carnations to all others because of the superior shipping
and keeping quality of our stock. If you are buying elsewhere and the stock is
not reaching you in the best shape, try us. Try us anyway, just to compare.

FANCY GREENS

The Fancy Greens are here: Adiantum, 76c to $1.00; Croweanum,
$1.00 to $1.50 per 100, extra long fine stock.

We have large daily receipts of Asparagus Plumosus String^s and can
supply any quantity on a few days' notice, but the supply is eo generally short in
the market that advance orders are desirable.

ALWAYS THE BEST HARDY CUT FERNS.

REVERO FLORISTS' HOSE

We know of no hose that gives
the grower so large a value for
his money as does Revero. Con-
sequently, we have arranged to
supply it to the trade at man-
ufacturer's price of 17c per foot.
In re«ls of 500 feet at 16c pfr foot
Cut in any lengths you want and
coupled without extra charge.

The home-grown Peonies are now comin,' m
These local Peonies are not only the best cut fl< wer
as to reach each buyer in the best possible connitioi

stock, $8.00 to $4.00 per 100; fancy, $5.00 to

BASKETS FOR JUNE

We carry an immense st^ck of Baskets, including, of course, all the styles,
shapes and colors that are needed for June work— weddings and commencements.
The stock is far too large to permit us to show cuts or quote prices in an adver-
tisement. Suffice it to say that we have every style you use and that our prices
are as low, or lower, than others ask. None can undersell us without taking
a loss. Order Baskets of us. We ship subject to approval. If any Basket does
not come up to your ideas as to quality, style or price, you are to ship it back to
ua at once. Could anything more clearly show oar confidence in our goods?

RIBBONS AND CHIFFONS

We are doing an enormous business in these— handling the output of several
of the best mills in America as well as importing the best European specialties di-
rect from the makers in Fraitce. Our Ribbon business is so larg^e we can
sell to the Trade at the prices the mills charge smaller jobbers for equal
quality. If anyone offers you a price below ours, watch the quality— either the
quality is inferior or the seller is taking a loss.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

June 1, 1911.

PACIFIC COAST.

Oakland, Cal. — Mary E. Keller has
built a greenhouse at 3822 Piedmont
avenue.

Pomona, Cal. — Charles Carette recent-
ly had a narrow escape from death
while crossing the Salt Lake tracks
in his automobile. His car became
stalled on the crossing while a heavy
freight train was bearing down upon
him, and he saved his life by leaping
over the hood of the machine to the
ground, about five feet ahead. The
auto was completely wrecked.

TACOMA, WASH.

The Market.

Weather conditions for the last two
weeks have been unfavorable for the
growing of all greenhouse stock. There
have been almost continuous rains, with
high winds and cold nights, causing the
outdoor flowers to be extremely slow in
development. Many of the growers had
quit firing for the season, and now we
hear complaints of a poor setting of
tomatoes and cucumbers.

The Mothers' day business was all
that could be expected. The day is
gaining in general public favor and
will soon be one of the best flower days
of the year.

Bedding stock is moving slowly, but
seems to be of unusually good quality,
with a good supply in sight. Cut flow-
ers, especially carnations, are scarce
and are bringing a good price.

Various Notes.

Miss Gertz, manager of the Flower
Shop, has been away from the store for
a week on account of sickness. Mrs.
Watson has also been on the sick list.

The California Florist had the con-
tract for decorating the new U. P. de-
pot for the opening day.

The Florists' Club, at its last meet-
ing, decided to hold the rose show in
conjunction with the Woman's Club,
June 16 and 17. Messrs. Koberts, Hinz
and Mahnke were selected as judges.
J. L. S.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

With Memorial day just at hand, the
scarcity of flowers is worrying the flo-
rists. The last week was cold and
rainy; only a little stock developed and
such of it as did so was badly blighted.
Peonies are opening under many diffi-
culties. The usual outside flowers, such
as sweet peas, bachelor's buttons and
iris, are practically out of the market.
Shipping trade was steady during the
entire week. Graduation exercises
caused the principal demand. The long
distance shipments for Memorial day
commenced about Friday.

Carnations are in better supply than
previously reported; with a few days of
sunshine there would be a wonderful
change. The Maryland rose is in full
crop, but other varieties are scarce. Hy-
drangeas are about the only blooming
plant of consequence on the market.
Advance orders for June weddings are
being rapidly booked.

Fischer's Grand Freesia furity

Now Is the time to order your supply of Fischer's grand Freesia Purity. Be sure to ask
your dealer for Fischer's guaranteed stock, grown by him and supplied to you In his origi-
nal package ; for this stock Is never sold In bulk, but Is always packed by blm In 100, ^0
and 500 bulb muslin bags, stamped and Indorsed by his signature. Insist upon getting his
guaranteed stock, for then you are sure you are getting the pure stock that Is grown In the
open field In the pure air and sunshine ; Is thoroughly ripened and absolutely free from
culls, and not stock that has been raised from Its own seed, which never comes true, or
lathhouse grown, which is likely to rot in your benches. Instead of growing, owing to the
very green, unripe state in which it is dug to get it ready for market in time, or stock
that Is grown on contract and therefore with the least trouble to the grower, which will
very soon evolve itself into a mixture little removed from refracta alba. Eternal vigi-
lance is absolutely necessary to keep it pure. Do not run any risk when you order your
Freesia Purity, for It is up to you whether you get the pure stock or a mixture.

To protect both you and himself, his stock this year is sold under guarantee in any
sized package to suit dealers, not exceeding 500 In any one package. A certificate of guar-
antee is enclosed in each package, and Rudolph Fischer's signature is on the outside of
package. If you want to get the true stock, insist upon getting it packed as above.

Your dealer will get it for you ; if not, write to me and I will tell you who will.

on to provide such stock as is grown
with elaborate surroundings and in
greater variety than is profitable in
rural communities. Callas, white stocks,
candytuft and bachelor's buttons used
to make the bulk of shipments, but it
is noticeable now that fancy carnations,
roses, Easter lilies and valley are in the
great majority.

Flowers of all kinds are plentiful and
the prices are a shade lower than they
were one year ago. The weather con-
tinues to be favorable and if it remains
so for another day or two we shall be

LETTUCE IN NEW MEXICO.

Please advise us as to the best com-
mercial head lettuce to plant during
hot weather in a dry, irrigated country,
such as we have here, in southern New
Mexico. There is plenty of water f6r
irrigation, but the air is hot and dry.
We want a lettuce that will make the
largest white head, without getting
bitter in summer.

Also what is the best hardy winter
head lettuce? We have succeeded with
hardy Brown Dutch head lettuce out-
doors all winter, but the heads are not
large enough and the market demands a
whiter head instead of the green vari-
ety, like the Brown Dutch. The tem-
perature occasionally gets down to 10
degrees above zero at night here in
winter, so we need a lettuce that will
stand cold to that degree, for fall
planting. R. S. C.

The best variety of lettuce for R. S.
C. 's section we think is the Big Boston,
provided he gets a first-class strain of
this lettuce. This is the best variety
for summer growing. The New York
lettuce is also a fine variety. For win-
ter use we think the Brown Dutch
probably the best. The Big Boston is
grown more in Texas than any other
variety. Texas Seed & Floral Co.

MAGGOTS ON CUCUMBEBS.

Is pulverized sulphur good to put in
the soil when planting such crops as
cucumbers and muskmelons, to kill the
liitle white maggot that feeds on the
roots and kills the plants? Last sum-
mer quite a few of my plants were
killed by these pests just as they
started to bear, but I did not know what I

the trouble/was until all the plants were
gone. Carbon bisulphide is pretty ex-
pensive to use on a large scale. I
thought sulphur would answer the same
purpose if used right. If this is cor-
rect, tell me how to use it and in
what quantity. E. W. C.

Sterilization of the soil has come to
be an accepted necessity for success-
ful cucumber culture under glass. Out-
doors this is not possible. I have never
tried sulphur for the maggots you refer
to, and do not know bow it would work.
I would, however, have greater faith in
air-slaked lime, applied in the late fall
or early spring at the rate of 2,000
pounds per acre for this and other pests
of a like character. Soft coal soot is
also excellent to apply to land similarly
infested. Mixing some tobacco dust,
or even tobacco stems, in the hills is
often tried and with good results, but
I have most faith in lime. Carbon
bisulphide at the rate of 25 cents per
can is, of course, costly to use on a
large scale, but it does its work well.

you a twig from a Cottonwood tree,
which is literally covered with insects.
They confine themselves to the twigs
and do not seem to bother the leaves.
I should like to know what the insects
are, whether they are dangerous and
what is the most effective remedy. Will
Paris green kill them? There are sim-
ply millions on each small tree.

H. A. L.

This is one of the numerous aphides
commonly known as plant lice. As
these are suckiiig insects and do not eat
the foliage, as do various caterpillars,
poisons like Paris green would be of
no avail. Pests of this class must be

good soil. Can you tell me what to do
for it? I am sending some of the tips
under separate cover. M. L.

This dying of the tips on junipers is
not at all unusual in spring. It is due
to one of two causes. If the plants
are quiteu dry at the root when the
ground freezes up tightly in early win-
ter, and if no water is able to percolate
to the roots during the winter months,
some burning of the tips is likely to be
noticeable on this and a number of
other evergreens when the hot sun and
cold winds of March and April arrive,
the damage being usually done in
March. If damp at the root when the
ground freezes, evergreens rarely show
any browning or dying of the tips. The
damage is also due sometimes to late
spring frosts, which scorch the young
growths. In all probability, however,
the dryness at the root is the cause of
your trouble. Another season soak the
roots of any evergreens before the ar-
rival of freezing-up weather and they
will in nine cases out of ten come
through the winter unscathed.

The Market.

During the extremely hot weather we
have experienced in the last two weeks,
stock has suffered greatly and the qual-
ity now is the same as in midsummer,
far below what we have had in other
seasons at this date. Roses have suf-
fered most, and there were hardly any
good salable roses for Decoration day.
There has been an enormous quantity
of carnations on the market, a great
plentj' to go the rounds. Trade was
heavy for Decoration day, and quite a
quantity of outdoor flowers were on the
market. Peonies were never in such
quantities as this year, and quality was
fine. There was no jasmine on this
market this year, as tifiey were all re-
ported in and gone before Decoration
day.

Geraniums were all sold out early and
few were in shape for May 30. Bed-
ding work has been heavy and has used
up an enormous quantity of stock.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club gave its last dance
of the season May 17 and there was
quite a nice crowd present. The next
on the program is the annual picnic,
which will no doubt be at Buckeye lake.

Sherman Stephens reports heavy busi-
ness for Decoration day in all lines of
work.

E. Metzmaicr says business was never
better.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. had a
heavy business, with large cuts of car-
nations.

The Livingston Seed Co. had a heavy
trade for Decoration day. J. M.

rOR OUTDOOR PLANTING

The Rosea here offered are field grown plants which have been potted into 5 or 6-inch pots (according to the growth
of the variety) during the winter months. They have been stored in cold houses and cold frames and are in the best pos-
sible condition to turn over to your retail customers for outdoor planting, giving an entirely different result from stock
carried over winter in storage. For best results the plants should be shipped in pots ; in this shape they will carry safely
to reasonable distances by freight.

BOCHESTEB.

The Market.

This is the time of the year when the
florist gets tired of his business. The
lull just before Memorial day, and the
warm weather, give him the spring
fever, and he longs to go fishing, to
go to the ball game, or anywhere, just
to get away from the store and ofliee,
and to get out into the fresh air and
the sunshine. This feeling was in-
tensified during the last week, with the
thermometer at 90 degrees in the shade.
The topic of absorbing interest to
Rochesterians during the last ten days
has been the weather. One felt that a
second glance at the calendar was
necessary to assure oneself that the
™"ggy August days were not here.
Such leaps and bounds as the plants and
flowers and trees are making in their
growth is extraordinary. With the flow-
ers, the season is a full two weeks
ahead of the average. Some trees
which do not flower normally until Me-
morial day have passed their prime and
are dropping their blossoms, and there is
more than one sign of mid-June in the
field. In one of our parks there are
more than ninety varieties of American
hawthorn in flower. The hardy azaleas
are in full flower, and the rhododen-
drons are rapidly reaching their height
of beauty.

The cut flower market is flooded with
all sorts of stock, and great quantities
find their way to the refuse heap be-
cause the supply is far greater than
the demand. Beauties are sold at a low
figure and so are roses of all kinds, with
the exception of the best grades of Kil-

HOW ABOUT YOUR EMPTY BENCHES?

After Decoration Day you have empty benches. "Will it pay you to have
them empty? Take a few minutes to think and consider which will pay the
best. Chrysanthemums? No, I know something better. I plant a bench or
two with asters, in July, and in August I cut them. That gives me time to re-
till my benches with a fine lot of fall and holiday plants, such as cyclamen,
ferns and poinsettias, roses and other plants suitable for my fall business. I
am going to write an order right away to Godfrey Aschmann, Philadelphia,
for his Giant Cregro Aster. It is the best early branching cut aster in the
world.

are poor in quality and were greatly
damaged by the heavy rains of last
week. Some good gladioli are placed
on sale, of the Blushing Bride variety.
There is a great abundance of greens
of all kinds.

Flowering plants for hospitals and
gift baskets are in great demand, but
the supply is small, since there are only
the same old standards from which to
choose — spiraeas, gloxinias, hydrangeas
and a few late potted ramblers.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Bowling Club has dis-
continued practice for the summer.

Charles H. Vick has been chosen as
judge at a flower carnival and exhibi-
tion to be held August 23 and 24 in
Perry, N. Y., under the auspices of the
women of the Methodist church of that
place.

Horace Head has returned from Hil-
ton, N. Y., where he has been for his
health. He was greatly benefited by a
few weeks of rest.

E. C. Campbell has gone to Mount
Clemens, Mich., for a short visit.

Emil Thomann, who was thrown from
a wagon a short time ago, severely in-
juring his arm, is improving slowly.

E. F. Rowe, formerly with James
Vick's Sons, has gone to Harrisburg,
Pa., to accept a position with the Mc-
Farland Publicity Co. Edwin C. Arm-
brust, with J. B. Keller's Sons, 25 Clin-
ton avenue, succeeds him as correspond-
ent for The Review.

Miss Lillian Wlheeler, of the Roches-
ter Floral Co., has resumed her duties
at 245 Main street east.

Bedding plants are the best sellers
these days, and outdoor work demands
all the attention of the landscape gar-
deners. They are working overtime be-
cause of the warm spell.

J, B. Keller's Sons have begun early
closing and are running on summer
schedule time.

Sunday, May 21, was observed as Li-
lac day at Highland park. About 100
varieties of lilacs, all in full bloom,
were viewed by thousaifds of people.
Mayor Hiram H. Edgerton and Park
Commissioner W. C. Barry were among
those who were out to note the perfec-
tion profusion and perfume of lilacs.

The Market.

The hot weather is beginning to have
its effect on all cut stock, particularly
roses. The quality is only fair. The
blooms are small and the stems short.
Carnations are affected the same way.
Stock is quite plentiful and the demand
fairly good. Tulips are about done.
This season has been a good one for
them. The later varieties of lilacs are
now on the market. The season for
these was unusually short. The hot
weather killed off the early varieties
in a short time and there were three
or four days when there were none of-
fered. Outdoor flowers, such as phlox,
poppies, iris, etc., are now being offered
in large quantities. Some fine Iceland
poppies, in different shades, are on the
market. A fine lot of spiraea is being
shipped in. Peonies are well started.
The whites are fine, but as yet the col-
ored ones are not of much account.

Various Notes.

E. Jennings, of Brampton, was in the
city last week. He has just purchased
a fine new Ford motor car for pleasure
purposes.

James Milne, for a long time shipper
at J. H. Dunlop's establishment, has
left that firm and is now connected with
the Boman Stone Co. in a similar ca-
pacity.

A. G. Dillemuth reports a good trade
in all lines. From orders booked, he
will have an exceedingly busy month.
He has many out-of-town orders.

The Toronto Horticultural Society
had an exhibition of spring flowers in
St. George's hall May 20. An excellent
lot of English primroses was shown.
Some of the modern varieties showed
many colors besides the original yel-
low. Many varieties of tulips were ex-
hibited.

Mrs. Ford is moving, June 1, from
her present store on College street to
a place on Yonge street, near to her
old stand. This should make a big dif-
ference in her business. Besides her
flower trade, she will handle the retail
trade in Harry Webb's chocolates.

Chas. E. Lewis reports a fair trade
in boxwood trees.

Grobba & Wandrey, of Mimico, are
shipping some fine stock of all lines into
the city.

A. E. Moore is receiving daily ship-
ments from his newly acquired plant in
Georgetown and is now able to meet
the demand much better. E. A. F.

ard has taken a position with H. W.

The Market.

Business for Memorial day was im-
mense and every florist had as much as
he could do. Flowers of all kinds were
plentiful on the market. Roses and
carnations were in big demand. The
quality was only fair, owing to hot
weather. The day was warm and clear.
A number of funerals increased the
business considerably.

Various Notes.

Ben Kramer had some of the best
peonies to be seen and had a fine sale
for them. Carnations sold best with
him, but roses sold well also.

The Blackman Floral Co. had im-
mense quantities of stock and enjoyed
a big day May 30. Funeral work
formed a large part of the sales.

Julius Ni^dnagel & Sous Jiad, besides
the Memorial day business, a number of
funerals and sent out several wagon-
loads of designs and bunches.

J. C. Elsperman was busy enough and
his forces had all they could do. They
have recently put into service a new
delivery wagon.

Royston & Fenton sold all the roses
they could cut and could have sold many
more.

Louis Fritsch was surprised at the
calls for flowers and was caught "npre-
])ared. He says next year he will see
that he has enough to go around.

Nellie Goodge was kept busy making
small bouquets for the cemetery. Her
plant sales were large.

Karl Zeidler gathered in most of the
trade that went to the Locust Hill ceme-
tery.

Henry Seymour was busy and had to
buy considerable stock. E. L. F.

r. Hutson, the head salesman, reported
business as satisfactory
^ Malcolm Orr, of Saugus," who has been
n>ecializing in sweet peas, had also
candytuft and stocks in quantity for
Memorial day.

George W. Ayer, of Kcadirfg, has had
good success with his sweet peas this
season. He also hit it right with a big
crop of candytuft for the holiday.

Samuel Gidley, of Waltham, has a
fine new Buick delivery car, which he
is finding a great convenience in his
business.

A. A. Pembroke, of North Beverly,
had some grand Gladiolus Dawn and
Mrs. Francis King, which are popular
at the stores.

William Nicholson, of Framingham,
had a superb lot of carnations for Me-
morial day, also his usual heavy cut of
double feverfew and marguerites. He
had a heavy local trade.

Welch Bros, were more than satisfied
with Memorial day trade, which easily
beat all previous records. It taxed the
capacitj;; of the roomy Devonshire street
einporium to handle the business.

Business at the seed stores is now
easing off considerably. The drought,
added to attacks of cutworms, necessi-
tated second sowings of many crops.
The demand for dahlias and gladioli has
been heavy.

S. J. Goddard had an extra heavy cut
of carnations, feverfews, gladioli of the
large-flowered type, and marguerites for
Memorial day, and reports a good in-
crease in local trade.

A. L. Silloway, of Maynard, hit it
right with a big crop of double fever-
fews for the holiday, which cleaned up
quickly.

had a successful season with flowering
and bedding plants and is pretty well
cleaned out. His roses antl hydrangeas
have been extra fine.

The W. W. Edgar Co. reports great
activity in bedding plant trade, par-
ticularly in geraniums. Their hydran-
geas, roses and other Memorial day
plants have sold splendidly.

Peonies did not appear at the whole-
sale markets at all, except a few of the
old officinalis rubra. Welch Bros., how-
ever, handled quite a few at their Dev-
onshire street store.

The annual rhododendron show of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society wil!
be held June 10 and 11. Classes are
provided also for azaleas, German irises,
tree peonies, herbaceous plants, fuchsias
and groups of orchids. The rose show
comes June 24 and 25. "W. N. Craig.

NARCISSUS FLY.

Tinder separate cover I am sending a
sample of bulbs aflfected with some
worm. Will you kindly advise me
what this is and the remedy, if any
is known to you? They are also on
my auratum lilies in the same garden.

W. E. D.

The bulbs forwarded had been badly
attacketl by the latvas of the narcissus
fly, a destructive i)est and one which
has nearly exterminated narcissi in
some American gardens. It appears to
specially favor the large bulbed varie-
ties, »«ch as Emperor, Horsfieldii and
Victoria, but will also attack the
smaller balbed sorts and tulips. These,
or some similar larva', have also prob-
ably attacked -your Lilium auratum.
Where these larvae are found in quan-
tity, it is better to burn all the aflfected
bulbs and select " fresh ground when
])lanting another season. It is impos-
sible to re^ch and destroy them when
located within the bulbs without also
destroying the bulb?. Sometimes the
larvjB of the May beetle will also attack
bulbs in this waj-. They usually come
in rather fresh cow manure, which
should never be used for bulbous plants
of any kind. When planting bulbs of
any kind, be sure the manure is old
hnfl w^ll decayed. A dressing of Scotch
soot or land lime will also be helpful
Ota ground containing such pests.

Greenhouse Heating.

WITH 4-INCH PIPE.

Will you please give me some in-
formation in regard to the heating of
our greenhouse? How many feet of
4-inch hot -water pipe will be needed
to heat a house 26x100 to a tempera-
ture of 70 degrees in zero weather?
What size of boiler will be necessary?
We are located in southeastern Minne-
sota. B. H. M.

If 4-inch pipe is to be used, it will
be well to put in about twelve. There
could be two flows and four returns
upon each side of the house, or they
could be distributed so that there
would be one flow and two returns in
each of four places. The boiler should
be able to handle 2,000 square feet of
radiating surface.

IN CENTRAL TEXAS.

I have a greenhouse 22x75 feet and
twelve feet to the ridge. The side
walls consist of three feet of wood and
two feet of glass. The house runs
south of east and north of east. I
expect to build two more houses, each
20x50, connected, and running west of
south and east of north. The new
houses will be about fourteen feet, or
perhaps less, from the present house.
Can all the houses be heated by the
same boiler, to a temperature of 50
degrees at night? We seldom have
zero weather here. I shall appreciate
it if you will give me some advice
about the piping, as I know nothing
about it. C. L. S.

Under the conditions mentioned,
there should be no difficulty about
heating the new houses from the cen-
tral plant, provided the coils can be
at least as high as those in the present
house. If the boiler is sufficiently low,
it will be advisable to carry the flow
pipe from one house to the other in
an underground conduit. This could
be made of cement, or an 8-inch sewer
pipe could be used for the flow and
another pf the same size for the return.
The pipes themselves should be 3-inch
and should be covered with asbestos
packing.

From the main flow and return pipes
a 2%-inch flow and a return of the
same size should lead to each house,
where they should connect with the
returns. If the boiler is not sufficiently
low to permit the running of the flow
pipe underground, it can be carried

READ WHAT THE USERS SAY

B£XT£B AND CHEAPER THAN ANY OTHER SYSTEM.

Zanesvllle, O., Feb. 11th, '11.
Gentlemen: —

In regard to the Kroeschell Threaded Tube Piping Sys-
tem, I think It l8 better than standard piping system, not
only in being cheaper but thinner, and giving more heat.
I found the Generator was a paying proposition and would
recommend its use to all using a hot water system. My
No. 11 Boiler does the work satisfactorily on over 25,000
«quare feet of glass. Very truly yours,

C. L. HUMPH RET.

TEST AT 14 BELOW ZERO— HEATS WITH EASE.

Omaha, Neb.. Jan. 4th, '11.
Gentlemen: —

It might Interest you to know the results obtained from
your boiler and threaded tube piping system. We have just
had a night of 14 degrees below, with a stiff wind blowing,
and we carried the house at 52 degrees with the boiler at
170 degrees. The house Is piped for 50 degrees, and as we
are using a cheap grade of slack, the result speaks for Itself.
We were told by the dealer when we ordered the coal that
we could not burn It, so we bought' a car of good coal to
help along If the slack would not give results, but It was
not necessary. Your Generator certainly helps the circu-
lation and your method of piping for hot water Is a sur-
prise to some of the greenhouse men In this vicinity.

Very truly yours,

FERGUSON BROS.

BETTER THAN STEAM.

Pontlac, 111., March .16th, 'iO.
Gentlemen: —

We have no trouble whatever In keeping a temperature of
60 to 65 degrees In our carnation houses, and 60 degrees in
our rose houses. In the coldest weather. We Are once In
three hours on very cold nights, and at other tlnies once
during the night. The boiler has given excellent satisfac-
tion; It Is simply wonderful. We had a fire box boiler pre-
vious to this, but your Improved system has It be^t to death
In every way. Your system of piping, together with your
Improved Generator system, has steam skinned to death In
BO many ways. We wer3 on the market to buy high pres-
sure steam, but after receiving such reports of your Improved
hot water system, we concluded that your experience was
worth something, and have been delighted at the results,
and so glad we took your advice and put in hot water in-
stead of steam. Very respectfully,

overhead from one house to the other,
and covered with packing as already
directed.

In each of the new houses run a 2^^-
inch flow to the farther end and con-
nect with the return coils, which should
include seven 2-inch pipes in each of
the houses. The returns should, of
course, have a slight fall, as should
also the flow pipes, if possible. For
the house 22 by 75 feet, use two 21^,-
inch flows and eight 2-inch returns.
The flows can be on the plates and the
returns on the side walls, or a part of
them might be under the benches.

PrPINO IN VIBGINIA.

Please give us some information as
to the size of boiler we need and the
amount of piping. At present we have
three houses, each. 25x102. The side
walls are six feet high and the height
to the ridge is twelve feet. How many
runs of 2-inch pipe will be needed for
each house? We wish to put in a new
boiler and intend to build two more
houses of the same size. The new
ones will be at the soiithwest corner,
and the strongest winds come from the
west. C. & W.

The question does not state the pur-
pose to which the houses are to be put,
or the class of plants to be grown in
them, so that no very definite advice
can be given as to the piping that will
be required.

For heating houses 25x102 feet to
60 degrees in the latitude of Virginia,
it will be advisable to put in three
214-inch flow pipes and nine 2-inch re-
turns, provided there is no glass in
the side walls. In case a temperature

enced for a long time, the demand, espe-
cially for potted plants, being unusually
large. The prices were good and the
quality of the stock was above the av-
erage. Cut flowers were also in demand,
but a considerable increase in price
somewhat checked the sales. Funeral
work continues brisk and the orders for
delivery on May 30 and 31, for Memo-
rial day, exceed those of any previous
year.

Various Notes.

Paul de Nave, vice-president of the
Fall River Florists' and Gardeners' As-
sociation, was a recent visitor in this
city. He reports a fine crop of Cattleya
Mossise, Gaskelliana and gigas.

John McNulty, a driver for George
Johnson & Son, was painfully injured
May 22 while driving his horse on
Wickenden street. The horse stumbled
and threw Mr. McNulty from his seat.
He received a scalp wound a couple of
inches long, in which several stitches
were taken.

S. J. Eeuter & Son, of Westerly, are
shipping some excellent Beacon, Pink
Delight and Afterglow carnations to the
Boston market.

Newport, South Kingstown and Bris-
tol will make independent attacks on
the tree pests which infest these dis-
tricts, even though the State Board of
Agriculture can do nothing to assist
them financially, inasmuch as the appro-
priation for that work has been vetoed
by the governor.

Alfred H. Leonard, head bookkeeper
for W. E. Barrett & Co., has the sym-
pathy of a large circle of acquaintances
in the recent death of his father.

James Hackins, of Central Falls, is
contemplating a trip to Europe in the
fall.

J. Sullivan, formerly with the West-
minster Greenhouses, in this city, was a
recent visitor here. He is now conduct-
ing a large flower store at Springfield,
Mass.

NEW HAVEN, CONN.

The Market.

Trade has been good and Memorial
day brought a big rush. Many funerals
have kept everyone busy of late, and
there were several large weddings last
week. The weather was cold and rainy
for May and has kept the outdoor stock
back.

Window and veranda boxes seem to
be the rage at present and the florists
are kept busy trying to fill the orders.
Business on the whole has been excep-
tionally fine.

Various Notes.

John Champion and family have closed
their home on Ellsworth avenue and gone
to the shore to spend the summer
months.

Growers from every section of the
town are complaining about the great
quantities of cutworms that have devas-
tated large fields, especially tomato
plants. About every device imaginable
is being employed to keep the worms in
check, with but little success.

Bruce, the Orchard street florist, is
kept busy filling piazza boxes.

Osterman, the Church street florist, has
a fine window display of ferns, cut
flowers and potted plants. B.

BEADING, PA.

A flower show, with special exhibits

proprietor of the Wyomissing Nursery
and president of the American Peony

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

The Memorial day business began in
earnest on Saturday, both in pot plants
and cut flowers. The general opinion
is that the volume of business will ex-
ceed that of all previous years. Prices
are lower, but the satisfaction to the
retailers and to the general public is
much greater than usual. Koses, car-
nations and peonies have formed the
bulk of the supply. Flowering shrub-
bery, often so important a factor for
Memorial day, was neglected this year,
possibly because everybody had his own.

The crop of peonies was timed to a
day, good judges estimating that seventy-
five per cent of the local crop was ready.
The ruling price for good stock ranged
from $30 to $40 per thousand. Fancy
stock of P. festiva maxima and Prince
Nicholas brought exceptionally fine
prices. Something like two-thirds of the
flowers were white, while the remainder
of the supply was of the various shades
of pink. Few reds were to be seen.

Carnations, unlike peonies, were
wanted in colors. A large proportion,
however, were white, which sold excep-
tionally well. Owing to the immense
crop of peonies, the prices on carnations
were lower than last year. Roses were
also more popular in colors than in
white, and a large demand was made for
pink of all shades.

Some excellent lilies are in the mar-
ket. The quality stimulates the de-
mand. Sweet peas are in heavy supply,
but are not wanted, as they are faded
and hardly last a day.

The bedding plant men have had an
excellent season, considering the long dry
spell. Many of the growers are prac-
tically sold out and much more stock
could have been sold for Memorial day
if in flower, but everything showing
color, particularly in the geranium line,
had been picked out as fast as it opened
during the last two weeks, so that much
of the stock delivered was not at all
showy.

Various Notes.

J. Bolgiano & Son report one of the
largest seasons in potted plants that
this firm has ever had. Their out-of-
town trade in potted plants has grown
to immense proportions. Over 60,000
potted roses have been sold this season,
besides 48,000 geraniums, and of scarlet
sage and pansies there is no end.

R. A. Vincent reports one of the larg-
est seasons the firm has had in potted
plants and roots. Q.

WESTEELY, B. I.

The Market.

Business last week was slow, the gen-
eral lull before the holiday rush. Me-
morial day always is big here. A few-
May weddings helped business at the
end of the month. The Watch Hill sea-
son is about to open and the landscape
gardeners are kept busy. Bedding plant
trade has been heavy.

Various Notes.

"Wilcox park is being put in its beau-
tiful summer garb. Superintendent Coon
and his force of men are kept busy.

S. J. Eeuter & Son have opened a
large store in New London.

The Westerly Burial Co. had a fine
window of potted plants and ferns for
Memorial day.

Conrad Schultz is shipping fine carna-
tions to New York. B.

CUT STOCKS KEEPING POORLY.

We have grown some excellent ten
weeks' stocks, but find that if we cut
them and place them in water they
wilt and do not revive. Can you tell
us the reason for thisf N.

In cutting the stocks, select the early
morning and late afternoon for the
work. Use cold water in deep jars.
Set them in a cold room. Do not cut
the plants close to the soil, as the wood
is hard there and does not suck up
water readily. Cut the side shoots
singly and let the cuts be long and
slanting. Set the stems well down in
the water. If you follow these direc-
tions, you should have no more trouble

$25,000 a Year from 12 Acres

And a STANDARD PUMPING ENGINE Helped to Make It

The Market Growers Journal has published a booklet describing the experience of one of the
most successful market gardeners in the country, one who has found that The Standard
Pumping Engine has been his best investment. His experience is merely one of hundreds.
This booklet contains many helpful hints for the grower, which cannot fail to interest you,
and it will be sent upon request by

The Standard Pump and Engine Co.,

14 MICHIGAN STREET*
Cleveland, O.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market.

Trade has been decidedly good for
the last week. Funeral work, wedding
decorations and the bedding trade kept
the florists on the jump even before the
special Memorial day demand began to
be felt.

The hot weather has had a bad effect
on roses and carnations, but there is an
abundance of other flowers. The peony
crop is unusually large this year, bui
many of them were early for Memorial
day. Candytuft, sweet peas, daisies and
lilies are to be had in quantities.

The bedding trade has been good this
season, but the hot weather will cut it
short, as many people who have over-
looked getting their plants will leave
for the summer resorts soon, and do
without the plants.

Various Notes.

B. F. Hensley, of Knightstown, spent
a day in the city last week to dispose of
his surplus bedding stock.

Mr. and Mrs. A. F. J. Baur spent sev-
eral days in Richmond last week. Ee-
cently the park board converted Thirty-
eighth street into a boulevard and wi-
dened it fifty feet. Mr. Baur's resi-
dence stood too near the street and it
became necessary to move it back about
twenty-five feet.

Harry Balsley and W. H. Elverson
were both in the city at the same time
last week, talking flower pots.

The Pahud Floral Co. and E. A. Nel-
son have their hands full, filling ceme-
tery vases. They report the plant busi-
ness satisfactory.

The June meeting of the State Flo-
rists' Association of Indiana will be
held in the horticultural rooms in the
State house.

A. "Wiegand & Sons were summoned
last week, along with a number of
others, for not having a license on their
delivery auto.

Frank Farney, with M. Rice & Co.,
was a caller last week. As usual, he
reports business flourishing.

The Indianapolis Flower and Plant
Co. reports an excellent business in bed-
ding stock this year. This firm is send
ing quantities to the market daily.

Ollie Hobbs, with the Bridgeport Nur-
series, who has been seriously ill with
pneumonia, is much improved.

Albert Pettit had a fine cut of sweet
peas for Memorial day. He has dis-
posed of a great quantity of bedding
stock.

Hartje & Elder had a fine lot of fe-
verfew, sweet peas and candytuft for
Memorial day. H. L. W.

Hundreds of Gardeners
and Horists

testify to the efficiency of the
Skinner System of Irrigation

With scarcely an exception we have had en-
thusiastic letters from every gardener and florist who
has put in the Skinner System.

Their crops have been bigger — earlier — surer.

Drought has been an absolutely unfeared element

to them.

The Skinner System waters in a mist form that cannot
bruise the foliage or cake the ground. And the area one man
can water is limited only by the extent of the installation.

Send the coupon for our six hooks on Irrigation.

They contain in detail the most modern methods, and the
concrete, signed experiences of other growers and florists. A

Little Bock, Ark. — H. Meyer, pro-
prietor of the Oakland Cemetery
Greenhouses, at 1623 College street,
just opposite Oakland cemetery, has
been in business there since 1900 and
has developed a large and profitable
patronage. Though he makes a spe-
cialty of funeral work, he is well
equipped for a general trade, including
landscape gardening.

THE RETAIL

FLORIST...,

1

OATTLEYAS IN BOUQUETS.

June is a month which brings a de-
mand for white orchids beyond the
resources of the wholesale cut flower
markets. A lot of the June brides
think there must be white orchids in
the bouquet; they have the idea that
nothing else is appropriate. The retail
florists will make it easier to handle
the trade if they educate the public to
the use of cattleyas, such as Mossiae
and gigas, with valley, in the wedding
bunches. While white orchids are
scarce, there is an abundance of the
lighter-colored forms of seasonable cat-
tleyas, blooms with just enough color
to work nicely with valley; indeed,
some people whose taste is good in
such matters think the best wedding
bouquets are those nlade with the
darker-colored cattleyas.

BOCK'S WAYS.

W. L. Rock Flower Co., Kansas City,
uses a fancy Dennison tag for cut
flower boxes, putting the sender's card,
if any, in a small envel(it»e enclosed
with the flowers, but for plant sales a
special envelope is used. It is of
strong manila, attractively printed
with the florist's name and address,
lines for the name of the party to
whom sent, and in the corner "Card
inside." The envelope is thus both a
shipping tag and a card container.
It seals and has an eyelet for the cord.
With this envelope cards can not be
lost or soiled.

With cut flowers the Eock Co. en-
closes a neatly printed card, as follows:

NOTICE

We guarantee the flowers In tbls package to
be absolutely fresh, selected and carefully packed
by an experienced clerk. Any claim to the con-
trary will gladly be entertained, if we are
adrised immediately after receiring same.

To obtain best results, clip each stem and
place in moderately cool water in a room where
temperature is not above 65° — if possible, avoid
draft on flowers.

Another card for enclosing with

sales, bills or letters reads:

Flowers Delivered by Telegraph Anywhere.

We are members of the Florists' Delivery
Assoclatiou. Orders for flowers or floral designs
executed in any city of the United States,
Canada or Europe at any desired time.

THE COENFLOWEB IN DESIGN.

With Some of Its Near Belatives.

A bunch of bunches of fringe — that
is what we have now in blue borders
of the garden, uncertainly wavering to
lavender pinks and white. He — the
cornflower — is as persevering as his
cousin, the thistle, and when he appears
on dress parade in a,^ decoration he
shines with a jaunty air with some
down borrowed from his pestiferous
cousin and some somber gray foliage
from his brqther, the Centaurea gym-
nocarpa. By these articles of borrowed
finery we hope to make his fringiness
more fringy and his airiness more airy.
As a general favorite the cornflower has

yet to make his debut, but his merits
are none the less real.

In seizing upon the "very thing" to
develop such characteristics in flower
or plant life, one is answerable only to
common sense and taste for his selec-
tions — the pre-Adamic critics to the
contrary notwithstanding. But, while
nature is wild and free, quaint and

coquettish, she is never silly. To sus-
tain the repose of the simplest floral
assemblage or to develop the bea.uty of
form and color, we are entitled, then^
to any resource of still life or animated
nature which our eyes light upon.

Baskets or Bowls of Cornflowers.

With a basket of cornflowers on a
luncheon table I may confine a bunch
of live butterflies, with a chiffon veil
thrown over the whole. Or, somewhere
on the side of a large doorway, suspend
a raflfia hanger which holds a basket or
bowl of blue cornflowers. Bend the
stems so that they will show from be-
low. Make several wide loops of white,
pink or Nile green chiffon. Let one of
them envelop the bowl, as though sup-
porting it. Catch the bows in a cluster
at the point from which the hanger is
suspended. Make another cluster of
loops, of which the sides are basted to-

Gtttlryas, Valley and Farleyense.

I

FLORIST

CATTLEYAS IN BOUQUETS.

Juno is a month which l)rini4S a do-
mand for Avhite orchids beyond the
resources of the wholesale cut flower
markets. A lot of the June brides
think tlierr )nust be white orchids in
the bouijuet; they have tlie idea that
nothinii' else is appropriate. The retail
florists will make it easier to handle
the trade if they educate the i>ublic to
the use of cattleyas, such as Mossia?
and giyas, with valley, in the wedding
bunches. While white orchids are
scarce, there is an abundance of the
lighter-colored forms of seasonable cat-
tleyas, blooms with just enough color
to work nicely with valley; indeed,
some people whose taste is good in
such matters think the best wedding
bouquets are those made Avith the
darker colored cattleyas.

ROCK'S WAYS.

W. 1j. Kock Flower Co., Kansas City,
uses a fancy Dennison tag for cut
flower boxes, putting the sender's card,
if any, in a small envelope enclose(l
with the flowers, but for plant sales a
special envelope is used. It is of
strong mauila, attractively i)rinted
with the florist's name and address,
lines for the name of the ])arty to
whom sent, and in tlie corner "Card
inside. ■ ■ The envelope is thus both a
shipping tag and a card container.
It seals and has an eyelet for the cord.
With this envelope cards can not be
lost or soiled.

With cut flowers the h'ock < 'o. en-
closes a neatly printed card, as follows:
NOTICE

Wc Kuaranloo the flowers in this package to
be absolutely fi-csli, solocted aiiU cai'ofiiUy packed
by an experienced clerk. .\iiy claim 1o the con-
trary will pladly be entertained, if wo are
advised immediately after receiving same.

To obtain best results, clip each stem and
place In moderately cwjI water in a room when-
temperature is not above O.'i' -if possible, avoid
draft on flowers.

Another card for enclosing with
sales, bills or letters reads:

Association. Orders for flowers or Mor:!l (lesi;rns

THE CORNFLOWER IN DESIGN.

With Some of Its Near Relatives.

A bunch of bunches of fringe — that
is what we have now in blue borders
of the garden, uncertainly wavering to
lavender pinks and white. He — the
cornflower — is as persevering as his
cousin, the thistle, and when he appears
on dress parade in a decoration he
shines with a jaunty air with some
down borrowed from his pestiferous
cousin and some somber gray foliage
from his brother, the Centaurea gym-
nocarpa. By these articles of borrowed
finery we hope to make his fringiness
more fringy and his airiness more airy.
As a general favorite tlie cornflower has

yet to make his debut, but his merits
are none the less real.

In seizing u]>on the "very thing" to
develop such characteristics in flower
or plant life, one is answerable only to
common sense and taste for his selec
tions — ^the jire-Adamic critics to the
contrary iiotwithstanding. But, while
nature is wild aii<l free, (luaiiit and

cocjuettish, she is never silly. To sus-
tain the repose of the simplest floral
assemblage or to develop the beauty of
form and color, we are entitled, then,
to any resource of still life or animated
nat^ure which our eyes light upon.

Baskets or Bowls of Cornflowers.

\Vith a liasket of cornflowers on a
luiudieon table I may confine a bunch
of live butterflies, with a chiffon veil
thrown over the whole. Or, somewhere
on the side of a large doorway, suspend
a rallia hanger which holds a basket or
liowl of blue cornflowers. Bend the
stems so that they will show from be-
h)w. ]\Iake several wide loops of white,
pink or Nile green chiffon. Let one of
them envelop the bowl, as though suji-
jiorting it. ('atch the bows in a (duster
at the point from which the hanger is
sus](ended. Make another cluster of
locips, of A\hicli the sides are bastt>d to-

Cattleyas, Valley and Farleyensc,

gether, fill these loop^ with thistle down
or milkweed down, and let them hang
as they will among the ends. Talk
about -your atmosphere effects!

Now that balls are in favor — and
may they long stay there — make some
of this kind for table decorations to use
with cornflower centerpieces, or tie a
basket handle with chiflfon loops filled
with the down.

For Weddings.

Speaking of near relatives which may
be drawn into the scheme, there are
other interesting centaureas, among
them the large double white and the
garden dusty miller or Centaurea gym-
uocarpa. These two — the flower of the
white and the foliage of the gray —
make a quaint coloring with the purple-
blue. Blue and white is a color scheme
frequently decided upon by the bride
for her wedding colors, but as often
called off for lack of flowers. I^om
the time when the greenhouse-grown

the blue of "Old Glory" and for a
G. A. R. shield, or for an O. E. star.
The same color in a wreath, with a
spray of wheat, makes a rich piece for
an elderly person. For sprays and cas-
ket covers they should be prepared and
arranged in the same manner as sweet
peas.

With sucli dainty white flowers as
achilleas and gypsophilas, blue corn-
flowers make a pleasing arrangement.
On a solid pillow, panel a section with
cornflowers, bordered on each side with
fern leaves. Across the entire length
throw a loose spray of light pink roses,
asters, lilies, dahlias, or other large
flowers of wiry stem, which have the
proper color with the blue and white.

Weddins Bouquet of Valley and Cattleyas.

cornflowers come, in. April or May, till
frost, they can be counted by the thou-
sand from a moderate sized stand.

For hand bouquets, arm baskets or
trimmed hats, for bridesmaids or maids
of honor, these flowers in blue are
striking and beautiful and as capable
of fine arrangement as any flower. The
best ferns to use with them are the
several smaller varieties of pteris
fronds. With other, smaller, old-fash-
ioned garden flowers, like candytuft,
alyssum and mignonette, they make a
cool, quaint centerpiece for a summer
luncheon.

A Useful Shade of Blue.

The blue ones are just the color for

roseum. The single varieties are easily
raised from seed and the doubles by di-
vision in late summer. I have often
thought there was a future for these
flowers if forced. I saw flowers in
early April which were wonderfully
fine, grown in this way. In many states
pyrethrums flower for Memorial day
and certainly few flowers are better
adapted for bouquet work than they, as
the flowers have a wide range of col-
ors. Now is a good time to sow seeds
to get strong plants in 1912.

Campanula Medium is by far the
finest of the bell flower family. For
pot culture it is superb, reaching a per-
fection when thus grown that would be

impossible outdoors during a dry sea-
son. The double flowered varieties are
too heavy. The singles and calycanthe-
mas, hose-in-hose as they are popularly
termed, are charming and anyone with
a batch of these around Memorial day
can get good money for the flowers,
even if the plants do not captivate
someone's eyes. It is not yet too late
to sow Canterbury bell seed. Do not,
however, put oft* the sowing much
longer. The little Carpathian bell
flower, in blue and white shades of
color, is now flowering and will con-
tinue to do so until fall. It is one of
the most satisfactory edging plants we
have and also makes an ideal subject
for the rock garden. The persicifolia
section will be in flower in a few days.
The single forms come in several
shades of blue and pure white. Of the
doubles Moerheimi and humosa are
splendid, especially the latter, which is
blue, while Moerheimi is pure white.

Violas and Lupines.

Viola cornuta, blue, and its white
form, V. cornuta alba, have no equals
as edging or groundwork plants.
Blooming, as they do, the whole summer
and being perfectly winter hardy, no
one need feel diffident about growing
them. They propagate easily from root
division or cuttings. This is better
than from seed. A large proportion
will not come true as seedlings, too
many resembling the larger bedding
violas in size and color, and while such
tufted violas as Admiration, Blue Per-
fection, Papilio and others are fine for
bedding, they lack the beauty of the
true cornuta type, being too much like
pansies, while the cornutas are like
large violets.

How stately and beautiful are the
perennial lupines in early June! There
are blue, several shades; white, pink
and rosy red shades; the newer fonnB>
roseus, Pink Beauty and Moerheimi, are
all pink or rose in color. For massing
effects few perennials can equal these
in beauty and they are so good for cut-
ting that it is surprising they are
hardly ever seen in a florist's establish-
meni, much less in any retailer's win-
dows. Seed sown now will give big
plants for flowering next season. Some
of the stronger seedlings may even
flower the same fall. Lupines are one
of the really ironclad herbaceous per-
ennials.

Some others of the early June peren-
nials are: Papaver orientale, of which
the dark variety Parkmanni is perhaps
the best; Hemerocallis flava, H. Mid-
dendorfii, H. aurantiaca major; Hes-
peris matronalis, sweet williams, Ther-
mopsis Caroliniana; Lynchnis Haage-
ana and its hybrids and L. Viscaria
flore pleno; Trollius Asiaticus excelsior,
deep orange, charming; Spiraea astil-
boides, S. Japonica, S. Aruncus; Pole-
monium cseruleum, P. Bichardsoni; do-
ronicum in variety, Harpur Crewe
being the best; Incarvillea Delavayi,
Clematis recta, Aster alpinus, Antheri-
cum Liliastrum major, Dianthus plu-
marius, some of the earlier delphiniums
and, of course, peonies in abundance.

SEASONABLE NOTES.

Cattleyas.

June is a month when orchid flowers
usually are fairly abundant, much more
so than in April, and this year some of
the big city markets have been over-
stocked with cattleyas for some weeks.
The demand in the hot months is not
by any means equal to that in the cooler
months, when labiatas and Trianses are
in season, but there is now more or less
demand for orchids the year around,
especially in the larger cities, and the
grower who would cater to the public
taste should be prepared to supply at
least a few of the summer varieties.

C. Mossiae is now on the wane. It is
by far the freest flowering of the early
summer cattleyas. Any repotting should
be done now and care should be taken
to water more sparingly until new roots
are being freely produced. The tempta-
tion to water in hot weather is irresist-
ible for those whose expetience in or-
chid culture is limited, and it is hard
to convince even those who are good
growers of other varieties of plants
that even in the hottest weather newly
potted stock must be watered with ex-
treme caution. Especially is this nec-
essary where the houses are quite heav-
ily shaded. Use the hose, however, free-
ly among the pots on bright days; on
cloudy days little damping down is
necessary. Some top ventilation should
be left on the houses both night and
day now. Cattleyas dislike a close,
stuffy atmosphere. It weakens them,
and if there is much humidity in the
atmosphere it causes roots to push out-
side the pots and baskets, rather than
in the compost, and cattleyas with a

wealth of aerial roots may interest nov-
ices, but no good grower wants to see
them, as the flowers from such plants
are of poor quality.

We get hot, bright days in summer,
when a good, heavy shade on the glass
seems welcome. There are spells, how
ever, of dark, gloomy weather when we
wish the glass was clear. Those who
can afford it and use cloth blinds on
rollers, or lath shades, have a great
advantage, as they can give a maximum
of light when it is most needed. The
lath shades are much used in Europe
and are coming into use here. Their
initial cost, however, prevents their ex-
tended use. Heavy shade gives us
green-bulbed, green-foliaged cattleyas.
These, however, do not flower so well
as those grown in stronger light,

C. Triana", C. labiata and C. Schroe-
dersB will now be making roots quite
freely and the water supply for them
should be increased gradually. Give all
of them the lightest possible location.
These and, in fact, all cattleyas and
laelias enjoy a syringing overhead about
the middle of the afternoon on hot days.

The cattleya fly has been previously
referred to in these columns. It is the
worst foe orchid cultivators have to
fight. It seems wicked to cut away
handfuls of fine growths as they are just
starting, but it is the only true remedy.
Watch for the swollen growths and cut
off and destroy them before the flies can
hatch out and escape, or the damage
will be greatly extended. C. labiata is
headquarters for cattleya fly, but any
of the short-bulbed section, as well as
some leelias and epidendrums, are also
attacked. Long-bulbed cattleyas, such
as Harrisonise, Bowringeana, etc., are

less attacked. Persistent fumigation
with a powerful nicotine extract will
account for some flies, but cutting oflf
the young growths is the best remedy,
murderous as it may appear.

Oyprlpediums.

With a few exceptions, cypripediums
enjoy a moister, warmer and shadier
house than cattleyas. They also do well
in small, stuffy 'structures, while cat-
tleyas enjoy larger, airier ones. Thrips,
if it gets a foothold now, will rapidly
disfigure the foliage on many varieties.
Syringing, sponging and dipping in to-
bacco water are necessary to keep it
away, or to fight it should it appear.
Plants of the insigne section do par-
ticularly well in cooler quarters than
many other varieties. A brick frame,
where they can be elevated on a stage
over a good bed of coal ashes, is an
ideal location. Here they can be freely
syringed and given all necessary ven-
tilation. Keep them close to the light.
In the case of plants having the pots
full of roots, supply weak cow manure
water once a week. Green-leaved cypri-
pediums, such as insigne, Sallieri, villo-
sum, Charlesworthii, etc., grow best in
good fibrous loam, while the variegated
leaved sorts rather like a fair amount
of osmunda fiber mixed with the loam.
Unlike the cattleyas, the lady's slippers
want a fair supply of water at the
roots, even in the so-called resting
period.

Odontoglossnms.

The repotting of odontoglossums
should now be completed. Filling the
pots one-third full of crocks and using
rather soft oamunda fiber, with a little
chopped, fresh sphagnum, gives an ideal
compost. It is also best to round the
compost above the rims of the pots. Low
potting is not to be recommended for
orchids. It is well to have the- bulbs
level with or just clear of the tops of
the pots. Odontoglossums should now
ue in their summer quarters. A north
house with blinds, a span lath house
without glass, a sunken pit — any place,
in fact, where as low a temperature as
possible is obtainable, with the neces-
sary light — will answer. Some day arti-
ficial refrigeration may make it possi-
ble to grow these most beautiful of all
orchids as we see them in Europe.

to convince even those who are good
growers of other varieties of jdants
that even in the liottest weather newly
potted stock must be watered with ex-
treme caution. Especially is this nec-
essary where the houses are quite heav
ily shaded. Use the hose, however, free-
ly among the pots on bright days; on
cloudy days little damping down is
necessary. Some top ventilation should
be left on the houses both night and
day now. Cattleyas dislike a close,
stuffy atmosphere. It weakens them,
and if there is much humidity in the
atmosphere it causes roots to ])ush out
side the pots and baskets, rather than
in the compost, and cattleyas with a

wealth of ai'rial roots may interest iio\ -

compost. It is also best to round the
compost above the rims of the pots. Low
potting is not to be recommended for
orchids, ft is well to have the bulbs
le\(d with or just (dear of the tops ol

oe in their summer quarters. A north

in fact, where as low a temperature as
possible is obtainable, with the neces-
sary light — will answer. Some day arti-
ficial refrigeration may make it' possi-
ble to grow these most beautiful of all
orchids as we see them in Europe.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

JUNB 8, 1911.

Plants with a growth of nice sphagnum
in their pots look fresh and inviting.
The moss, however, makes an ideal home
for the small shell snails, which find the
young flower spikes on these and some

oncidiums toothsome morsels. Ventilate
the odontoglossums freely at night, es-
pecially at the close of hot days, and
give them a little sun before pulling
down and after drawing up the shades.

BENCHING YOUNG STOCK.

With the passing of Memorial day
and the clearing out of many bench
crops, the work of emptying, repair-
ing and refilling the benches for mums
will now occupy considerable time.
The compost should have been pre-
pared some time ago. Far too often it
is not mixed until the planting time
arrives, and frequently manure not
properly decomposed is added. Far
better plant in comparatively poor soil
and feed well from the surface, rather
than place the roots in direct contact
witn fresh manure.

The distance apart to plant depends
on the variety, also on whether the
plants are to carry one, two or three
flowers. Small-foliaged varieties, like
Ivory, do well as close as 6x6 inches;
other varieties 6x8 inches or 8x10
inches. If for exhibition purposes,
more space than this is needed, but
planting for show blooms should have
been completed before now.

Where the plants have become some-
what potbound, loosen the balls of
earth with a pointed stick before plant-
ing. Keep the surface soil well stirred
and syringe freely. Any necessary dis-
budding should be done at planting
time and the staking should be at-
tended to just as soon as possible.
Every year this work is put off and
put off, and when staking is finally
done the plants are little short of an
interminable tangle.

In the cities there is an increasing
call for sprays in preference to single
blooms, and where customers want
these it will pay the country florist to
cater to the demand. Also, do not for-
get the singles, which are steadily
growing in favor. These, if benched
now, or even a month hence, will give
beautiful sprays, and for decorative
effects these are in many ways much
to be preferred to the doubles.

MUMS IN UITTUCE SOIL.

Please give us some advice about the
treatment of our chrysanthemums. W«
wish to grow two flowers to a plant.
They were potted off in due time and
have been growing in a house without
heat for about a month and a half. We
have now benched them and they are
fine looking plants. They comprise two
varieties, Dr. Enguehard and Bonnaf-
fon. The plants are about four inches
high. Should these be topped once
more or left to grow right along 1 We
had no cow manure and so we used
well decayed horse manure, putting two
inches of it in the bottom of the bench.
We grew two or three crops of lettuce
in the soil. Are the plants likely to
produce good flowers? We ifish to
feed with liquid manure. D. & F.

I do not see why the plants should

need to be pinched back, provided they
have four or five feet of head room.
Bonnaffons that are four inches high
June 1 will not go much over three
feet, though the Enguehards will prob-
ably go to five feet, if left to grow
right along as suggested. I do not see
but what the well decayed horse
manure is almost as good as cow
manure, for mixing with the soil.

As to growing two or three crops of
lettuce in the same soil before planting
the chrysanthemums, I have seen good
results when the plants have been so
treated, if the soil after the last crop
had been permitted to sweeten out
nicely. At the same time, first-class
growers seem to be unanimous in say-
ing that a different crop should have
new soil. The mum is not so particular
in this respect as the rose or carnation,
if ample liquid fertilizer is supplied
after the plants have become well
established. Chas. H. Tottv.

THE IBIS.

The iris family is an indispensable
one in every garden. The Germanica
section comes in specially useful for

cutting at Memorial day. The earliest
to flower, and one of the best, is Flo-
rentina alba, pure white, free flowering.
The old Mme. Chereau is still not to be
despised. Mrs. H. Darwin is a splendid
pure white. Queen of May is one of
the best pinks, suffused with lavender.
The pallida section is the tallest and
most stately, Dalmatica attaining a
height of three feet or more. Its lovely
lavender blue flowers rivet attention at
once. Glory of Hillegom, clear porce-
lain blue, is a fine form. The number
of German irises is legion, but the' fore-
going short list will be found a good
boiled down selection for florists.

Immediately following the German
iris in flowering comes the Hispanica
section. Many people still labor under
the delusion that these are tender,
whereas they need no winter protection
and are as hardy as oak trees. They
are the best of the whole iris family
for ^tting and if left undisturbed will
flower year after year, all the at-
tention needed being a light winter
mulch of rotted manure to enrich the
ground. Excellent varieties are: Chrys-
olora, British Queen, Midley, Louise,
Belle Chinoise and Cajanus.

Following right after the Spanish
iris comes the Anglica section, not so
well known as they should be. They
are just as hardy as the Hispanicas, are
rather stockier growers and carry
somewhat larger flowers. The variety
Mont Blanc, pure white, is one of the
best. Another iris not of a bulbous
nature, which all florists should have a
good batch of, is Iris Siberica Snow
Queen, one of the finest perennials for
cutting. The spikes are long and the
flowers the reverse of stiff and heavy;
nothing better for design work is to be
found in the whole iris family.

THOUGHTS FOE ROSE GROWERS.

[A paper by W. J. Kelmel, of Wendland
& Keimcl, read before a joint meeting of
the Milwaukee Florists' Club and the Chi-
cago Florista" Club, at Milwaukee, "Wis.,
June 1, 1911.]

When our president asked me to give
a paper on roses, I believe that he ex-
pected me to give something besides
the general rules of growing roses,
and in giving this paper I am trying
to comply with his request. If this
paper proves a disappointment, I hope
it will at least suggest new thoughts
in regard to plant life, and if it does
that I shall feel that I have fulfilled
my mission.

In treating plants in general, and

especially roses, I have studied plant;
life on a similar rule to that of ani-
mal life and have come to a conclusion'
which may sound wrong at first-
thought, but on close examination I
think yoif will find it not far wrong.

We have been told that plants re-
quire so much nitrogen, so much potas-
sium and so much phosphorus, and that
by giving them that much, with enough
water to dissolve it, we will get the
desired results. But do wel Now,
take animal life. Does an animal or
human being absorb all it takes inf
Evidently not, for if it did there
would be no manure, or if there were
any manure it would be of no use for
feeding plants. We are told to drink
three pints of water per day. Does
the body absorb it? No. The most of
it is taken to remove impurities frona
the system. I believe the same is true

of plants. The nearer we come to giv-
ing pla'nts the exact amount of food
and water that they require, the poorer
is the result. Therefore I believe that
plants should be fed and watered as
liberally as animals, expecting that the
surplus will be employed in purifying
the system of the plant, as it purifies
the system of the animal. Some plants
require more and some less. I believe
the rose is one that requires more.

Avoiding Extremes.

This, of course, does not mean that
the feeding and watering cannot be
overdone. On the contrary, a plant
can as easily be overfed as an animal,
or more easily, and here is where a
good many mistakes are made. No
man would think of consuming enough
food at one time to last a week.
Neither should anyone try to give a
rose, growing in a greenhouse and
yielding four to six crops a year,
enough food to last during that time,
or a quarter of that time.

This is where we find Killarney roses
and other roses of that class the most
sensitive. These roses are gross feed-
ers; at the same time they are the most
easily overfed.. They like lots of
water, but are the first to suffer from
sour or stagnant soil, and there is
nothing that will put soil more quickly
or more surely in such a condition than
giving it too much water, for that is
the one way of closing up all the pores
in the soil and making it keep every
particle of impurity that the plant
throws off. I firmly believe that a
rose or any other plant throws off im-
purities, the same as an animal, and
while these impurities may be useful
to some other plant they are the death
of the plant that throws them off.
Therefore I believe, as I have said
before, that a plant should be fed and
watered just as liberally as an animal,
expecting it to take out of the soil
only that part of the nourishment that
it requires.

Planting.

In growing roses I find that those
which are planted in the benches in
early spring, before the hot weather
starts in, irrespective of their size at
the time they are planted, will make
a much stronger and larger growth
than plants planted during the heat of
summer, and I believe in planting young
plants. There is more gained by throw-
ing out old plants in spring, when they
are about through doing their best,
and replanting with young stock, than
by waiting until the spring has glutted

the market and the hot weather is
making it almost unprofitable to grow
them any longer.

The Soil.

There has been some discussion lately
regarding soil from bottom lands for
roses, as if this were a new idea, but
some of the most successful rose grow-
ers have been using such soil for years,
either piling it up in the fall or spread-
ing it out on high ground and allowing
the frost to work through it during
the winter, then mixing it with man-
ure and fertilizer in the spring before
taking it off the field. . But whether
it is soil from high or low ground, the
main thing is that it be virgin soil,
or at least soil that has never been
used for roses before, and has lain in
grass at least three or four years be-
fore using.

Diseases.

One of the greatest of the rose
growers' enemies, if not the greatest,
is mildew, and it is. also one of the
hardest to fight. About the only way
to conquer it is practically to keep
firing the year around and to keep sul-
phur on the pipes. Of course, houses
built on high and sandy soil have lit-
tle trouble in this direction, as com-
pared with those built on low and
marshy places, where there is heavy
dew during the summer. But as long
as the plants are kept in good grow-
ing condition and have sufficient nour-
ishment there is never great danger
from mildew.

Thrips.

I want to mention in conclusion a
subject that is dear not only to rose
growers, but to all florists just now —
dear not to their hearts, but to their
pocketbooks — and that is thrips. We
are told by some that the only way to
kill them is to smoke until we are
blue in the face and the plants black.
Others say to burn red pepper, and
many others to spray with nicotine
solutions, but for myself I have found
one remedy, and only one. That is
Paris green and brown sugar. If that
does not kill them, it is simply because
the plants were not sprayed evenly
enough and the thrips could not reach
the sugar, for they will go for it if
they can get to it. Entomologists tell
us that this pest is a sucking insect
and therefore poison has no effect on
it, but when we look at a fine crop of
Beauties all chewed to pieces we feel
tempted to differ with them, for the
insect must certainly attack the tissue
of the flower to produce such effect.

GROWTHS ON CARNOT STEMS.

I am sending under separate cover a
small Carnot rose with a peculiar
growth that looks like a bur on the
stem. It is something new to me, and
I have been growing roses for many
years. Will you diagnose the case and
tell me what it is? I did not notice it
until I had cut the rose, or would have
let it grow. The shoot started at the
ground and was cut off outdoors.

E. M. H.

The growths, or "burs," as you fit-
tingly characterize them, are certainly
curious. They are nothing, however,
that you want to endeavor to perpetu-
ate. Cut these swellings open with a
knife and you will find an active little
caterpillar inside. I have not pre-
viously seen this same pest on roses,
but it is found on a number of plants.
The only remedy I can suggest is to
cut off and burn all wood similarly
affected. C. W.

DIRECTION OF HOUSES.

I recently bought a block of houses*
which are parallel with the adjoining
street and which run in a general direc-
tion from east to west, but slant
slightly southward toward the west
end. That is, they run neither straight
east and west nor from northeast to
southwest, but between these two di-
rections, at an angle of perhaps only
15 degrees from the direct east and
west line. What do you think of that
direction? Would it be advisable for
me to add more houses south of the
present ones and at the same slant? I
am located in central Indiana.

W. H.

While on some accounts it is better
to have the houses run either east and
west or north and south, the slight
variation in the present case will not
make much difference, and by some
that little would be considered an ad-
vantage, as the houses would get more
of the sun in the early morning, while
at noon, when the sun is often too
strong, the slight twist given the
houses toward the east would bring the
rays at an angle with the glass, and
there would be more shade from the
sashbars. On this account it can be
said that the proposed plan for locating
the houses has some advantages and no
serious objections.

BABSON'S SEEDLING.

Charles Barson, of Ossining, N. Y.,
has this season been sending cut
blooms of a new pink seedling carna-
tion to Gunther Bros., New York, who
have found the variety not only an ex-
cellent seller but a splendid keeper.
Mr. Barson has decided to disseminate
the seedling, which is not yet named,
in the season of 1912. He has worked
up considerable stock. The color is a
deep rose pink and the blooms are of
the largest size, with serrated edge and
well built center. Mr. Barson describes
the plant as exceptionally easy to grow,
the blooms being carried on long,
strong stems, some flowers being cut
which stood more than four feet above
the soil in the bench. He has found
that it does not burst its petals, ex-
cept to an inconsiderable extent in the
one month of January, and that in ad-
dition to having a good constitution,
making no surplus grass, it is extremely
easy to root.

BUIIJ>INa SOUD BEDS.

Please give me a plan for building
solid beds for growing carnations.

0. F. C.

If you wish to build solid beds in
the full sense of the term, there is
nothing complicated about it. Simply
build up your sides and fill in with
good soil. The sides may be made of
either lumber or concrete; the latter
material is in great favor these days.
Bight at the start let me caution you
to use only the best of material, what-
ever kind of bed you build. If con-
crete, then use good cement and clean
gravel, mixing it in the proportions of
one part cement to six parts gravel.
Be sure you get it thoroughly mixed,
as that is one of the most important
points in making concrete. Build your
forms the full length of the bed before
you start filling in any grouting; then
it can all set together in one piece.
One inch is thick enough at the top, if
you let it taper to four inches at the
bottom.

If you use lumber for making your
beds, then use red cedar for posts and
pecky cypress for the siding. Set the
posts on the outside of the bed, four
feet apart and deep enough to stand
the weight without tipping outward at
the top after a while. The height of
the sides w'll determine the depth you
should set the posts into the ground.
We build our beds according to this
latter plan, but instead of filling solidly
with soil, we fill in with cinders, leaving

good four inches of room for soil, which
we change each year just as you do
with raised benches. We consider this
the most economical bed for growing
high grade stock. A. F. ,T. B.

FIVE ACRES OF CARNATIONS.

In recent issues of The Review there
have been printed comments by the Eng-
lish trade visitors who made a trip of
3,000 miles through the United States a
few weeks ago. One thing that every
visitor commented on was the sight of
five acres of carna'tions "under one
roof"; apparently nothing the English
visitors saw in this country impressed

them so strongly as did the carnation
range of the Poehlmann Bros. Co., of
Morton Grove, 111. Here are over 200,-
000 carnation plants, but not "under
one roof" as Americans understand it;
it is a range of ridge and furrow houses
built after the style generally adopted
by growers of cut flowers in the middle
west. The accompanying illustration
gives the view as the Englishmen saw

it. The photograph is one made in the
early part of the present season.

THE TEMPLE SHOW, LONDON.

England's Great Annual Event.

The annual Temple show, the great
horticultural event of the year in Eng"-
land, was held May 23 to 25 and was
again a triumph for horticulture. It
was visited on the opening day by
their Majesties the King and Queen,
and by a great crowd of visitors, who
were delighted with the representa-
tions of the best that cultural skill can
produce in plants and flowers. How
good that best is can only be realized
by those who have seen a Temple show.

Orchids, roses, tulips, carnations,
sweet peas and hardy flowers were
magnificently shown by many growers.
In orchids great banks of bloom, all
arranged with a light and fairy touch,
were staged by Sander & Sons, Bruges
and St. Albans; Stuart Low & Co.,
Bush Hill Park, and C. Vuylstehe,
Loochristy, Belgium.

Roses, especially ramblers, were
superb, and among others who seemed
to outshine all previous efforts were
Hobbies, Ltd., Dereham; Paul & Son,
Cheshunt; Wni. Paul & Son, Waltham
Cross; Frank Cant & Co. and Ben Cant
& Sons, Colchester, and G. Mount &
Sons, Canterbury; also H. Cannel &
Sons, strong with American Pillar.

Nothing Striking in New Carnations.

In carnations there -Here no particu-
larly striking new varieties,, but all the
well-known favorites were well repre-
sented in huge vases of magnificent
blooms from Stuart Low & Co.; C.
Englemann, Saffron Walden; A. F. But-
ton, Iver; H. Burnett, Guernsey; S.
Mortimer, Farnham, and Young & Co-
Cheltenham.

Sweet peas were superb from Dobbie
& Co., Edinburgh; E. W. King & Co.,
Coggeshall, and from other noted
growers.

May-flowering tulips were one of the
decided hits of the show and there
were grand collections from Alex.
Dickson & Sons, Newtownards; Hogg
& Robertson, Dublin; Barr & Sons,
London, and R. H. Bath, Ltd., Wis-
bech.

Begonias of immense size, yet of
refined form, were strongly in evidence
from Blackmore & Langdon, Bath, and
T. S. Ware, Ltd., Feltham.

The new marguerite, Mrs. F. Sander,
in nicely flowered plants from Sander
& Sons, was remarkably pretty.

"Five Acres of Carnations Under One Roof,"

John Waterer, Bagshot, was in strong
force with a massive rhododendron
bank in which Corona was the newest
feature. Pink Pearl, Prometheus and
other telling subjects were well dis-
played.

Azaleas of the mollis type — a richly
golden colored mound — were delight-
fully displayed by E. & G. Cuthbert,
Southgate.

James Veitch & Sons, Ltd., were in
the front rank with all classes of stove
and greenhouse plants.

Hardy Flowers and Novelties.

In hardy flowers the exhibitors were
mahy, the collections grand, and the
rock garden style of exhibiting greatly
admired. Among the notable exhibit-
ors of these were Bakers, Wolverhamp-
ton; Amos Perry, Enfield; Kelway &
Son, Langport; E. "Wallace & Co., Col-
chester; W. Artindale & Son, Sheffield,
and Carter & Co., London, with a
Japanese garden.

Few certificates were given to new
subjects of commercial value; the ma-
jority went to fanciers' or specialists'
flowers. Among new or recently intro-
duced subjects shown were Adiantum
Glory of Moordrecht, or the Glory
fern, from A. A. Fabius, Eedlands; a
new perpetual flowering pink, named
Progress, from C. H. Herbert, Acochs
Green; three fine zonal pelargoniums,

AN ANGLO-AMERICAN DINNER.

The British horticultural traders who
visited the United States in March met
in London for a reunion dinner, May
24, and invited a number of friends so
that they might entertain them with
stories of their travels. The walls of
the dining hall in Anderton's hotel
were decorated with the British and
American flags; so were the menu
cards, and from beginning to end the
proceedings were thoroughly Anglo-
.4.merican. The menu, however, was
British; there were no cocktails and no
clam chowder, no iced water and no
American Beauties.

J. S. Brunton discharged the duties
of chairman and toastmaster and pro-
posed the toasts of "King George V"
and ' ' President Taf t, ' ' which were most
enthusiastically responded to. He then
briefly introduced the speakers in suc-
cession, namely, Messrs. Cull, Engel-
mann. Graves, Gunn, Prickett, Pratley
and South, and America was their
topic. Each dealt with a different
phase of the trip and J. Simpson
summed up by proposing the toast of
"American Horticulture," with special
reference to the florists' clubs that
took the Britishers in hand. It was
hoped that Julius Roehrs, who was in
London earlier in the day, would attend
and respond to the toast. J, Dimmock
was commissioned to secure his pres-
ence, but both are busy men and both
eluded the feast, to the disappointment
of assembled guests. In their absence,
W. Wiells, of chrysanthemum fame,
who visited America a year or two
ago, was called upon to fill the breach
and, for the timfe being posing as an
American, he replied in racy style.

J. Brown proposed the toast of "The
Ladies," delighting the company with
his American experiences in which
ladies played a part, and American
ladies were, of course, "embraced" in
the toast. In proposing "The Press,"
W. H. Page also included the American
horticultural press and J. H. Dick re-
plied. Altogether, America was fairly
booming throughout the various
speeches, but at the finish all agreed
"there's no place like home." J.
Pinches proposed the toast of "The
Chairman" and the reunion dinner
was voted a great success. Bee.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

■^sp^BSKs-jSei*,^'

June 8, 1911.

WHO OWNS THE AIE7

For years florists have contended that
they control the air above their green-
houses, and in certain cases the courts
have ruled that the consent of the prop-
erty owner is necessary before a right
of way may be had above the green-
houses. The theory of air control is
to be put to a further test this week,
according to the following press tele-
gram from Boston:

"Peirce Bros., florists, will today ask
the courts for an injunction to prohibit
the airships which are to fly at Aviation
park, in Waltham, this month, from fly-
ing over their property.

"The florists claim that should an
airship fall on their glass greenhouses
it would not only smash the structure
but would also ruin many valuable
plants which could never be replaced.

"The injunction brings up an entire-
ly new phase in aero-navigation. Has
an owner of property a right to say
who shall fly through the air over his
land? This question the court will be
asked to decide.

"The injunction will make no differ-
ence in the coming meet. The flyers
will proceed in other directions, al-
though the course already planned
would take the machines over the
Peirce property."

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT.

[A paper by Sarah I. Smith, of Secane, Pa.,
read before the Florists' Club of Philadelphia,
June 6, 1011.]

It is often said that one is not in
business for his health, but I believe
the pursuit of horticulture is a voca-
tion apt to render that particular bless-
ing, and it therefore has lured to its
fold many who have ventured without
any prior experience, and through de-
termination and prompted by a keen
love for plants and flowers, have made
partial if not complete success.

The trade journals have done much
in bringing to us some knowledge of
our fellow florists in our own land, and
also those of Europe, often telling us
how success is achieved by those who
specialize, and what their beginnings
have been. The mutual benefit of this
open and free discussion has helped the
commercial side of horticulture more
than it is possible to tell. The broad
standard of the profession today, large-
ly due to the great advance of the past
decade, has placed the grower and deal-
er before the public as important fac-
tors in the commercial world, created
a demand for a higher grade of product,
a more critical selection of what to
grow, and a keener conception of what
will satisfy the consumer.

A Help to Beginners.

I am frank to say that these are
some of the salient points that I have
learned since giving my entire atten-
tion to the business of a grower. I
owe much to the trade papers for
having kept me informed on many
points, telling me how things are being
done successfully by others who are
struggling as I am. The information
that I have gained has also been shared
by a host of others throughout our land,
both men and women, who have entered
the profession as enthusiasts with little
or no practical knowledge.

I was seeking health, I found it;
should I not in turn be free to record
my strongest sentiments in favor of
the florists' business as a health giving

vocation? I read with great interest
the many notes concerning the women
florists, not all of whom, perhaps, have
entered the rank as I have, some, no
doubt, being forced to continue the
business left by a deceased husband,
and with a family depending upon their
efforts. These mothers have reason to
believe that their experience, gained
while working hand and shoulder with
the breadwinner, has fitted them to
continue, with equally good returns for
their efforts.

I believe that women have a natur.'il
love for flowers, a more intense desire
for everything that grows. A mother's
instinct for nursing the tender growing
child is also shown in her close atten-
tion to the growing plant, and when
this care results in profit, and a close
study shows what response the plants
will give, then I believe that she is
fitted to conduct a business success-
fully, and if she possesses some execu-
tive ability there is no reason why she
should not be a profit-sharer in the pro-
fession. The foregoing introduction is
my idea of the qualifications neces-
sary to conduct a florist's business by
either man or woman.

Specializing.

I say with pardonable pride that I
started out as a specialist, and while
this is the modern idea, I believe it
is the best; it is better to do one thing
well than to dabble in many things.
So I resorted to violets and carnatious,
but a few other things have crept into
my care and keeping, which I will touch
on in a commercial way.

To bring about the results which ne-
cessity demanded, it was important to
develop a few things needful for suc-
cess, good soil, heating under proper
control, cultivation and close attention.
This could be done better by studying
the habits of a few things than by
launching heavily into a labyrinth of
variety. My first beginning was very
modest — having a special fondness for
violets, I thought best to begin in a
small way, yet large enough to know
whether my extreme fondness for a
vocation on which my mind was set
would tire from the close care and
attention which commercial growing re-
quired. I started in Atlantic City,
N. J., with three sashes of violets.
This very small beginning proved to
me that violets had become a commod-
ity and only needed producers, and hav-
ing learned enough to convince me of
that, I dared to venture deeper. The
following year my equipment had
grown to six sashes; so you will per-
ceive that I had decided conclusively
it was better to creep first, and my
creeping was of long duration, yet I
believe that violets have peculiarities
which require several seasons to learn,
to successfully overcome the troubles
they yield to so easily.

Slow, Steady Growtli.

My ambition and anxiety to lavnch
heavily into the business was encour-
aged by my success in this small be-
ginning, which was slow, yet entirely
satisfactory, and my next venture was
transferred from Atlantic City to Se-
cane, Pa., where I purchased five acres
of ground and erected two houses, 10x75
each. It is evident that my confidence
had become fixed.

This area of glass would produce vio-
lets which must find a market, so a
small shed was built over the boiler
pit to be used as a workshop for pre-

paring the stock for market, bunching
violets, etc. This was also the place
where every conceivable plan for bet-
ter and larger equipment kept running
through my mind in the hope that I
could devote all of my time to commer-
cial horticulture, as I had then decided
that my intense love for flowers and
their cultivation would never abate
through even excessive labor, demanded
by increased facilities. It was neces-
sary to provide for a domicile, so I at
once set to work making plans for a
dwelling, which was built during the
summer and ready for occupancy the
next fall.

My first year with all these respon-
sibilities was uphill work. I started
with three varieties of violets, viz.:
Luxonne, California and Lady Hume
Campbell, double. I found the singles
much better than the doubles, except
in the spring. This, however, did not
discourage me. I was preparing for
better and greater things, and when
the following fall arrived I had fine
field-grown plants with which to fill
my houses, and I was seized with that
dominating desire, which seems to have
a claim on every florist, of wanting
more glass. I therefore purchased some
sashes and also some Princess of Wales
violets, mainly to give them a test, al-
though I knew it was a good standard
variety. These sashes gave me quite an
extra area besides the houses, from
which I reaped a good crop until Christ-
mas, and then again in the sprang.

One Variety Best.

My houses were heated with hot
water, and while my boiler seemed small
I felt that a little coaxing might in-
duce it to perform greater work, so
I procured more sashes, which with the
help of the sashes I had would build a
sash house. I then decided on one va-
riety of violets. Princess of Wales,
which I still grow, and discarded all
the others.

My boiler experience is what might
happen to any florist who is straining
all parts of the business to do its best,
but I have since learned that it is
false economy to tax one boiler for all
work — another important item learned
by experience, but as I could not boast
of a modern, up-to-date establishment,
I had to resort to old-time methods.

The demand for my violets was
greater than the supply and this was
highly gratifying, not only from its
remunerative point, but because I felt
assured that I had correctly used the
knowledge gained in my small begin-
ning. Being only an amateur, this gave
me courage.

The next year I enlarged my violet
houses, secured a new boiler and dug
a larger cellar, built a large new shed
and constructed a new house, 25x125.
I was told by experts that the house
was not practical, "the glass was too
far from the plants," and many other
unsolicited suggestions were given, but
my violets were the best and all the-
ories were exploded, as the violets
seemed to like their new quarters. I
also grew asters in this house, and they
were the finest in the market.

Carnations Added.

My stock was responding to the care
which my knowledge prompted. I had
already secured a good market for my
product, and, like many, felt that my
flowers were not good enough to be
called first-class or No. 1, but I hoped

. -rpjfv-'ir-^.',.t">i^ f.-

that time and experience would create
a demand for my special stock. My
aim was high, and so should it be with
everyone. I felt proud to think that
my flowers would be exhibited in the
leading shop windows, and was anxious
that those which my care and coddling
produced should be in demand by crit-
ical consumers. This and many other
conditions have been the means of en-
couragement.

I then turned my attention to carna-
tions, and purchased enough plants to
fill my sash house, 12x40. I may have
been particularly careful and not suffi-
ciently daring in my ventures, but I
was Bute that I could study a few bet-
ter than many, so I began with Joost
and Queen Louise, and propagated
enough from these plants to fill the
large house by the following fall. My
method of propagating was perhaps dif-
ferent from the usual system; a sand
bed was prepared in one corner of my
violet house and the carnations took
nearly all winter to root, as the tem-
perature was only 40 degrees at night.
When they were rooted, they were put
in flats, in soil without any fertilizer.
My reason for doing this was to avoid
the young, tender plants becoming af-
fected by any disease.

Varieties Grown.

They were planted direct from the
flats into the open field, which had been
coated heavily with rotted stable ma-
nure and plowed under and kept culti-
vated through the season. The plants
were in fine condition to be put into the
house in September into solid beds.
After they were established they were
fed with ground bone. Ventilation was
freely given during the day. My crop
was good and continued to produce
throughout the season. I then put
up another house of even span,
35x100, and planted it with violets the
first year, but I now grow carnations
and sweet peas in it, together with
another house alongside which I have
recently built.

I have also added a propagating
house, which is arranged to be con-
verted into a growing house when
wanted. The varieties of carnations
grown by me are: Enchantress, "White
Enchantress, White Perfection, Beacon,
Winsor, Mrs. Ward and Alma Ward.
After venturing largely into construc-
tion from my point of view, I found
many little drawbacks which I did not
experience with my first venture with
three and six sashes, and even the first
house, but with the larger boiler pits
I experienced the trouble of water
gathering around the boiler, and a pos-
sibility of having fires extinguished dur-
ing cold weather. I have since seen
construction which would never be af-
fected that way.

Stick to Essentials.

So with all these possible hindrances
I gained experience and knowledge. My
reason for adhering mostly to violets
and carnations is probably like the
mother who wanted her boy to be either
a butcher or a baker. She said, ' ' Every-
body eats bread and meat, hence the
need of the producer." I thought car-
nations and violets were so essential
among flowers that I would make no
mistake, and should I wish to visit
growers for the purpose of learning, I
would not need to go far away.

I have never been backward in ask-
ing questions of others who know

much more than I do; much of the in-
formation regarding fertilizers and
other necessities has been gained in this
way, and while there are many adverse
conditions, which in spite of close atten-
tion and hard work often cause losses,
yet with it all I love my plants, the
open air life, and I love the work and
everything connected with it, for when
I began, about nine years ago, I was
in very poor health, and now I am
well and strong.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The long drought is ended and the
aster and gladiolus growers have more
cheerful faces. The peonies also needed
the splendid rains of the last few days.
Everything was thirsty. The carnation
plantings were not promising, but now
the outlook is bright and confidence
is returning.

In the cut flower market peonies dom-
inate everything, for the supply is un-
limited. Before Memorial day prices
for the best arrivals, especially Pes-
tiva maxima, were satisfactory, but
since the memorial demand was satis-
fied values have steadily fallen, until
now $5 per hundred buys the best, and
for the inferior grades even $1 per
hundred is accepted. Many peony
growers cut their stock too closely and
too soon. Much complaint is made by
the wholesalers because of this. Often
the stock is unsalable at any price.
This market will not absorb and dis-
pose of poor grade stock of any kind
when there is, as now, an abundance
to select from.

There are few good American Beau-
ties arriving and a few perfect buds
last week sold at 25 cents, but there
were not enough of them for even one
store, and 15 cents seems top this
week for ninety per cent of the so-
called specials. The heads are small and
of poor color. Of the other varieties of
roses, a few top grade selections com-
mand a fair figure, but most of the
stock arriving goes at the buyer's offer,
much of it being sold in the original
boxes. The long spell of hot, dry
weather hastened the overflow. Few
carnations now touch $2 and a lot of
stock was cleaned up Saturday and
Monday at 25 cents to 50 cents per
hundred. Orchids were retailing at 20
cents at Gimbel's June 3, and the buyer
picked them from the box, fine stock
that is ordinarily worth 50 cents at
wholesale. Not long ago two wholesale
houses controlled the wholesale orchid
trade of this city. Now every whole-
saler seems to have a large supply of
them. Lilies still are abundant. The
short-stemmed stock has sold as low
as $10 per thousand, and 4 cents seems
to be the top. Valley seldom touches
2 cents. Most of it sells at $1 per hun-
dred.

School commencements have hardly
begun. The only uplifts possible to the
market are the June weddings and the
foreign travel. One retail house on
Fifth avenue had over forty boxes of
flowers for one steamer June 3. This is
not an exceptional case. Every promi-
nent retailer has his share for the
many society people on their way to
Europe and the coronation.

Various Notes.

Monday evening, June 12, the New
York Florists' Club will hold its clos-

ing session for the season. The essay
committee has secured two excellent
speakers for the occasion, John G. Es-
ler, of Saddle Eiver, who will speak
on "Hail," and L. W. C. Tuthill, who
discourses on "Advertising." Discus-
sion will follow these addresses. There
will be exhibits of peonies and other
flowers. Chairman Al. Eickards has
some special titbits for the inner man,
and the club will bowl at Thumm's
alleys in the afternoon. The outing is
only three weeks distant. June 28 is
the day. Interest is general and Chair-
man Fenrich says the sale of tickets
is most encouraging.

July 6 the Greek- American florists'
outing takes place at Wetzel's, via
steamer, as usual. Tickets are $3 and
the committee says it will beat last
year's big record. Messrs. Cotsonas,
Lecakes, Fellouris, Nicholas and others
of the prominent Greek wholesalers and
retaUers are booming the enterprise.

Saturday and Sunday, June 10 and
11, the plant and flower exhibition of
the Horticultural Society of New York
takes place at Bronx park. A goodly
list of prizes will reward exhibitors.
A meeting of the society will be held
in the Museum building at 3:30 p. m.,
June 10, followed by a public lecture
on "The Royal Gardens of Kew, Eng-
land," by Dr. William A. Murrill. The
grounds of the garden will be then
visited, with Geo. V. Nash as escort.

A. Cova, manager of the Greek-Amer-
ican Florists' Supply Co., leaves on a
two months' purchasing trip in Europe
on the President Grant, June 10.

G. G. Stumpp, of the Stumpp & Wal-
ter Co., with Mrs. Stumpp and their
son, sails June 10 for a two months'
tour of Europe.

C. C. Trepel is booked for the Conti-
nent. Mrs. Trepel, manager at the
Looser store in Brooklyn, leaves with
the family next week for the Catskills.
It is probable she will have charge of
the Trepel store at Gimbel's, in Phila-
delphia.

M. C. Ebel, of Madison, president of
the Aphine Mfg. Co., was in the city
June 3, making arrangements for the
introduction of his latest discovery, a
mosquito banisher. Mr. Ebel has real-
ized the acute sense of smell of the
Jersey bird, and has invented a mixture
of pungent odor that acts as a skidoo.

Phil. Einsman and one of his nine
olive branches sail for Europe June 27.

Several New Yorkers will attend the
exhibition of the American Peony So-
ciety at Philadelphia June 8 and 9.

Wednesday, June 14, the Yonkers
Horticultural Society will hold its
spring exhibition at Hollywood Inn.

John E. Lager, of Summit, N. J.,
is visiting his European friends.

Alex. McConnell's new store at the
corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-ninth
street is a gem, and he is well pleased
with the location and the business
there. The immense basement mini-
mizes the inconvenience of smaller
quarters in the store. Mr. McConnell
contemplates a trip to the old country
and his old home before the season
wanes.

One of the force of Bonnet & Blake,
Brooklyn, is in the hospital there, re-
covering from an operation for appendi-
citis.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

In summing up the reports for
Memorial day one must admit that it
was the best for some years. Even
with our early spring, there was no
outdoor stock available; consequently
the florists had it all their own way.
But these conditions had their draw-
backs, for the intense heat previous to
May 30 took the "tuck" right out of
the cut flowers. For local use this
stock could be worked off nicely, but
for the shipping trade it was unsatis-
factory, indeed. Even when the cream
■of the stock was shipped, reports have
it that about one-fourth was unfit to
handle. Especially was this true of
the carnations. Since then, owing to
more favorable weather, stock has
again picked up nicely, except sweet
peas. It will be some time before
sweet peas will again be plentiful.
Indoor gladioli and the few local-
grown peonies were readily disposed of.

Club Meeting.

The joint meeting of the Chicago
and Milwaukee clubs, held June 1 at
the Blatz hotel, was in all respects a
grand success. 0. C. Pollworth made
the speech of welcome. After the
meeting was called to order by Presi-
dent H. V. Hunkel, of the local club, a
motion by C. Dallwig giving the Chi-
cago club charge of affairs, with Mr.
Philpott as president, was carried.

After routine business was trans-
acted Mr. Keimel, of Chicago, read his
most ably prepared paper on rose grow-
ing. After a short discussion, various
members were called upon for remarks.
In responding, James Currie, of Mil-
waukee, recently appointed park com-
missioner, clearly explained, among
•other things, what a great benefit the
florists' business is to the public at
large.

Some time was also spent on the
topic of the fall flower shows. Presi-
dent Hunkel stated that the Milwau-
kee show would run from November
16 to 20, and asked that the Chicago
florists, if possible, avoid having their
show on those dates. C. C. Pollworth
•explained how it was impossible last
year, with four large shows running
on the same dates, to do justice to
either side.

P. J. Foley, of Chicago, stated that,
on the whole, florists are among the
best classes of people to deal with, for,
from his experience, if they have time
enough they will eventually make good.

After the meeting, which adjourned

at 10 p. m., a Dutch lunch was served,
which seemed to strike the right spot.
Good fellowship reigned till nearly
midnight, at which time the Chicago
members, forty-one strong, left on the
chartered electric car for home.

Various Notes.

The Baumgarten Floral Co. states
that the Decoration day business this
year exceeded that of any since the
firm has been in business; so it must
have been fine.

The Edlefson-Leideger Co. was un-
usually well pleased with Decoration
day business. While it is customary
with them to close at noon on that day,
they worked till late that evening pre-
paring for the rush of funeral work
the day following.

Wm. Zimmermann reports having sold
out clean on Decoration day, and that
is saying a whole lot, for he carries
quite a supply continually.

Currie Bros. Co. reports fine business
for last Tuesday and a steady stream
of funeral work ever since; no let-up
with them.

Holton & Hunkel Co. reports ship-
ping trade fine. They have just fin-
ished planting their threa new houses
at the Brown Deer place with tea roses.
The houses are each 29x215, with ce-
ment benches and truss construction.

At the C. C. Pollworth plant at Wau-
watosa they have just completed three
new houses, each 30x265, which they
will plant with mums and use for
young stock after the mum crop is
gone. They, too, say shipping is keep-
ing up finely.

Point Floral Co., celebrated his en-

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market.

Trade was quite brisk last week.
Memorial day, funeral work, weddings
and commencements have kept the
store men on the jump. The weather
is the hottest experienced in June for
years, and this has put a damper on
the flower bed business, making this
line quite slack since Memorial day.

Trade for May 30 was no better than
last year in most cases, and it is
thought that the automobile races,
which drew a crowd of about 100,000
people, hurt the flower business to
some extent. It was said that the
cemetery was almost deserted in the
afternoon, most of the people having
gone to the races.

Stock was plentiful, with daisies,
feverfew, candytuft, roses, lilies, car-
nations, iris and peonies to be had in
quantities. Most of the peonies were
from cold storage and were not alto-
gether satisfactory.

Various Notes.

B. F. Hensley, of Knightstown, has
started building two 200-foot houses.

Someone touched Albert Pittet 's cash
drawer in the flower market for about
$60 one day last week.

A. Wiegand & Sons had a busy day
last week for the Tudor Hall com-
mencement. They furnished about 200
bouquets for the graduates.

E. A. Nelson reports his Memorial
day business satisfactory, having en-
tirely cleaned up his stock.

John Bieman had the order for 100

magnolia wreaths for the Elks this
year.

Herman Junge and Alfred Brandt
spent several days in Chicago last
week. They visited the greenhouses of
Poehlmann Bros. Co. and Bassett &
Washburn, as well as a number of the
wholesalers. They were particularly
impressed with the Morton Grove es-
tablishment. H. L. W.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The business done for Decoration
day this year was much better than
the trade expected. The larger part
of the business was in shipping to the
small surrounding towns. The whole-
sale stores were busy all day long, and
there was plenty of stock of almost
anything seasonable. The greenhouse
men say they did a rushing plant
trade, but, taken all in all, the local
business for this day was not as good
as in former years.

Last week business slowed up, the
hot weather having this effect. The
wholesale market had a great deal of
stock on hand daily, but of poor qual-
ity; roses, especially, were scarce in
the first grades. Carnations are small,
with the prices not over $10 in thou-
sand lots. There are plenty of lilies,
both Harrisii and candidum.' Sweet
peas have been a glut. These, with a
lot of outdoor stock, make up the daily
market. In greens, there is plenty of
good smilax and ferns.

Various Notes.

William Bouche has been appointed
consulting landscape architect of Uni-
versity City. A more capable man
could not be found for the position.

Kalisch Bros, had a $500 contract for
planting Belleview garden and made
an attractive job of it. They report a
better Decoration day business than
last year. They will rebuild their
show house this summer, with a large
plate glass front.

C. Young & Sons Co. had a heavy
Decoration day business, with plenty
of shipping orders for plants and cut
flowers. Their special sales day on
plants at their greenhouses has been a
great success.

The four wholesale houses have
made an early start this year with
early closing. From June 1 to Septem-
ber 1 they will close each day at 5
p. m. and on Saturday at 12 m., so the
local . trade will have to act accord-
ingly, and their employees are happy.

George Waldbart had an order for
a large floral balloon last week for
Balloon Pilot Von Puhl, who was killed
at Denver. The cost was $100.

All officers of the S. A. F. were
mailed invitations for the St. Louis
Florists' Club's twenty-fifth anniver-
sary banquet, which takes place June
28. The president of the Chicago Flo-
rists' Club was also sent an invitation
and the members all hope they will
come.

Miss Mary Ostertag will this week
move her store from 3861 Olive street
to 4947 Delmar boulevard. The new
store is in the Delmar building and
the location is considered a good one
for a flower establishment.

Harry Balsley, of the Detroit
Flower Pot Mfy., Detroit, is in the
city this week calling on the trade.

intendent at the Missouri Botanical
Garden and will make an able aide to
Superintendent Irish.

Thomas Carr, D. Bova and Miss
Frances Wilkerson, who run plant and
cut flower stands at Union Market,
say they had a big run of business
Decoration day.

Now that the bowling season is
closed, the bowlers will not attempt to
do any practicing these hot' days, as
no team will represent St. Louis at
Baltimore next August. The chance
for the florists getting together again
next fall seems good.

Ostertag Bros, did all the window-
box planting at the Jefferson hotel and
did excellent work. The cost was $450.

William Smith, Will Ossick, Paddy
Patten and Frank Windier, all of the
Smith Wholesale Floral Co., have or-
ganized a quartet and will make their
first appearance at the florists' picnic.
They are now rehearsing Paddy's new
song, "Watch Us Grow." This song
will be dedicated to the Florists'
Club.

The National Clock & Electric Mfg.
Co. is now open for business at the
new location, 1906 Pine street. The
firm has fully recovered from the re-
cent fire at the old plant and is pre-
pared to furnish greenhouse tempera-
ture alarm clocks on a much larger
scale.

The A. W. Schisler Grain Co. has
moved into its new location, at 708-710
North Fourth street, a block south
from the old stand. The new move
gives them the much needed room for
their fast growing business.

H. M. Donbrava has been appointed
assistant city forester to succeed W. E.
Jordan, and Budolph Windt was ap-
pointed an inspector. A. Y. Ellison
was held over as an inspector.

Henry Montaine, a florist of Flori-
sant, St. Louis county, while visiting
here last week was held up on a street
car and relieved of his pocketbook,
containing $19.

David Geddes, head of the design
work at Mrs. M. M. Ayers' place, on
Grand avenue, has made application
for membership in the St. Louis Flo-
rists' Club.

The Missouri Botanical Garden, bet-
ter known as Shaw's Garden, had its
first Sunday opening of the year June
4. The attendance was not so great
as usual, owing to the intense heat.
There were only 7,794 visitors during
the day. Superintendent Irish and a
host of students and employees were
on hand to show the visitors over the
grounds in groups. The record for a
Sunday attendance is 33,690. The gar-
den is in splendid shape and many new
things have been added. J. J. B.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Trade remained fairly good the bal-
ance of the week following Memorial
day and the present week sees business
holding up well. Stock is not plentiful
and prices on the whole are satisfac-
tory. We have had comparatively cool
weather, which has been a boon to
both growers and shippers. Boses are
not seen in large numbers and there
is little surplus. Carnations are rather
scarce and are cleaning up finely. Fair
Maid is now showing up well from sev-
eral growers. This remains a popular
summer sort here. Sweet peas have
advanced in price and the supply of

good flowers is adequate. The Spencer
varieties 8ell as high as $1.50 per
hundred.

Large gladioli are more plentiful.
They sell better, on the whole, than
the small sorts. Valley has been a
little druggy. With the passing of
the week outdoor supplies will disap-
pear and give a better field to the
forced article. Peonies as yet are
not abundant and sell well. The crop
of these, both in quantity and quality,
is much below par. Such flowers as
feverfew, snapdragons and ten weeks'
stocks are little wanted. Quite a few
hardy flowers, such as German iris and
pyrethrums, are seen. Cattleyas are
selling better, as they usually do when
in small supply. There is a good call
for green stock for wedding decora-
tions.

Various Notes.

The Montrose Greenhouses have had
a successful season with roses. They
are still cutting flowers of good qual-
ity. Eber Holmes states that benching
is well advanced. They are planting
8,000 of the dark variety of Killarney
which originated here and was intro-
duced by A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell.

Fred H. Abraham has succeeded John
A. Booth on the E. V. R. Thayer estate
in South Lancaster, where at one time
E. O. Orpet had charge.

Drought conditions continue to pre-
vail in New England. We have been
spared the excessive heat which other
sections have had, but the lack of rain
is ruining many crops. This added to
the veritable plague of cutworms is
making the lot of growers of outdoor
plants a trying one.

A fine display of early peonies and
other seasonable flowers and plants will
be seen at Horticultural hall June 10
and 11 on the occasion of the annual
rhododendron show.

E. K. Farr, of Stoneham, is sending
to the Boston Cooperative Market a
fine assortment of sweet peas on
long stems, which are being eagerly
snapped up.

J. H. Leach & Son, of North Easton,
have an extra fine grade of lily of
the valley at present. Their new car-
nation. Pink Supreme, still arrives in
fine shape and it seems likely to be as
good a summer as winter variety.

In Henry R. Comley 's windows at
6 Park street this week were noted
Clerodendron Balfouri well flowered,
passifloras, Canterbury bells, vases of
Calla EUiottiana and splendid Spencer
sweet peas.

Wilfrid Wheeler, of Concord, is hav-
ing a fine cut of white gladioli, which
sell well at 2 Park street.

Walter Holden, one of the popular
salesmen at the Park Street Market,
is at Sebago Lake, Me., for two weeks'
salmon fishing.

Owing to the sickness of William F.
Anderson, W. H. Elliott's manager at
Madbury, N. H., the base ball game
scheduled to take place between the
Boston Flower Exchange and Madbury
teams did not take place June 3. It
will be played later.

Charles Evans, of Watertown, and
Miss E. Brown, of Waltham, were mar-
ried .Tune 3. The happy couple spent
a week 's honeymoon in New York and
vicinity. On his return, Mr. Evans
found his stall at the Boston Flower
Exchange well decorated by his con-
freres. The composition on some of
the posters was both original and
unique. Mr. and Mrs. Evans were well

remembered with gifts from a large
circle of friends.

Kidder Bros., of Lincoln, who are
noted violet specialists, have now an
extra fine pick of Fair Maid and Queen
carnations. They will, however, drop
carnations and grow no flowers but
violets next year.

Henry L. Shedd, of South Lowell, is
sending" a fine assortment of carnations
ut present to the Boston Cooperative
Market.

Miss Washington, who succeeded to
the business of her father, the late
B. F. Washington, of North Stoughton,
is bringing in among other flowers Qer-
man iris, salpiglossis, coreopsis, Canter-
bury bells and gladioli. These are
sold at 2 Park street.

The Willow Hill Greenhouses, of
West Roxbury, have among the best
marguerites now arriving.

Edward Wood, of Lexington, has
some splendid double peonies, which are
quickly bought, as are his Spencer sweet
peas.

Adolph E. E. Koch, of Nobscot, is
cutting the last of his crop of pink
snapdragon. He has just filled orders
for rooted cuttings to go to Iowa, Mich-
igan and other distant points. Many
visitors noted this snapdragon at the
time of the national show.

Some excellent vocalists are engaged
for the ladies' night of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club, to be held June 20.
Spratt, of Allston, who catered at the
club reception at the national show,
will furnish the collation.

The H. E. Fiske Seed Co. reports
a brisk business in both bedding-out
and vegetable plants. Their seed sales
have surpassed expectations.

Chester Paine, of Randolph, journeyed
to the Pine Tree state this week and
was married June 6. He has a hand-
some cottage beautifully furnished for
his bride. His many friends vdsh both
long life and happiness.

John Barr, of South Natick, continues
to send in carnations of really remark-
able quality for the season. Mr. Barr
never seems to have any seconds.

Thomas Cox, of Dorchester, is in the
market with a grand lot of single
and double peonies. He still has some
excellent hydrangeas, but the supply
is running low.

The Mishawum Flower Co., through
,L M. Cohen, disposes of 4,000 to 10,000
sweet peas daily. Among their car-
nations Fair Maid is now showing up
particularly well.

William Patterson, Jr., of Wollaston,
will soon lead a bride to the altar.
He has already purchased a fine' soli-
taire ring.

.T. T. Silman, the well-known Wal-
tham florist, had a large quantity of
glass broken and over $300 worth of
plants ruined by a deer last week, which
mortally wounded itself.

R. Caplin, the Massachusetts avenue
florist, is receiving congratulations on
the birth of a son.

William A. Riggs, of Auburndale, has
some of the finest Asparagus Sprengeri
now coming in. His plumosus and longi-
florum lilies are also hard to beat.

William McGillivray, a popular local
private gardener, will be married June
14 at the Presbyterian church, Brook-
line. His bride is Miss Janette Scott.
Many of his confreres will attend the
wedding and reception to follow.

Donald McKenzie, of Chestnut Hill,
sailed for a trip to Scotland last week.

BESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

Good geraniums of the right color, in
bloom, are again scarce.

Now is the time to present bills. If
collections are not made soon, many ac-
counts that are of the best will have to
wait until after the vacation season;
people will be away.

The bedding plant trade has been
immense all over the country, in spite of
the fact that a quick transition from
winter to midsummer, as this year, is
not the most favorable condition for this
business.

Express rates are much too high, but
when you consider that half the money
goes to the railroad, what the express
company gets is earned. It is the rail-
roads that are overpaid for carrying ex-
press matter. Relief will not be had
until it is made illegal for a railroad to
own stock in an express company.

The June Everybody's Magazine has
an article, "The Quest of the Perfect
Eose, ' ' that makes goc 1, easy reading,
and which would be good publicity
work for gardening and for the trade
were it not for such statements as that
"the profits from rose culture in Amer-
ica are fifty per cent," and that 227,-
000 roses cut annually in the big house
at North Wales, Pa., are calculated to
bring in $113,000.

OBITUAEY.

Mrs. J. M. Charlton.

Mrs. Charlton, wife of J. M. Charl-
ton, of the nursery firm of John Charl-
ton & Sons, Bochester, N. Y., died May
27. The Rochester Florists' Associa-
tion sent a handsome bunch of Amer-
ican Beauties to the funeral, which
was largely attended by members of
the trade.

John Eaa^e.

John Eagle, of Boston, who for
thirty-five years had conducted a flo-
rist's store and was well known to
the trade, died of a paralytic stroke
June 1. Interment was June 4, and
many florists were among the mourners.

John Jorden.

John Jorden, who some years ago was
a prosperous nurseryman in Geneva, N.
Y., died May 28 at the City hospital,
Geneva, at the age of 73 years. He
had been taken to the hospital a few
days previously, for an operation. He
was born in Ireland, and, with his
parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Patrick
; Jorden, came to ^enQVa wbe% ha Was
3 years of age. ''6e md resiftd Miflre
since that' time. In early life Wf en-
gaged in the nursery business and
amassed considerable property. For
the last fifteen years he had lived a
retired life at his residence, 29 Middle
street. He took an active part in
politics, and was elected t^nittfe of the
Third ward on the Democrat ticket
under the village government for sev-
eral terms. He was a charter member
of the Geneva council of the Knights

of Columbus, and was formerly trustee
of the St. Francis De Sales church, from
which the funeral was held. He leaves
one brother, Patritk Jorden, and one
sister, Mrs. Michael Murphy, both of
Geneva.

John Flanagan.

John Flanagan, a well known land-
scape gardener, died June 1 at the
home of his daughter, at Berkeley, Cal.
He had reached the age of 85 years and
had retired from active business about
five years previously. He spent over
forty years in the neighborhood of
Cambridge, Mass., before removing to
California and many private parks in
New England were started under his
supervision. He was a gardener of the
old school, kindly, generous and a
thorough plantsman. He had a mar-
velous memory and his experiences in
the landscape line, extending over half
a century spent in many parts of the
United States, made his conversation
intensely interesting to the younger
generation of gardeners.

CHICAGO.

The Oreat Central Market.

Ever since Memorial day the market
has been struggling along under the
burden of heavy receipts of stock of
extremely poor quality. Demand con-
tinues fair; it is nothing remarkable
that orders should be on the light side,
when June 4 gave a temperature of
95.3 degrees at the weather office at
the top of the post-office dome. On the
street it was a great deal hotter, and
in the greenhouses conditions were
such that one almost wonders that
there is any good stock at all.

The excessive heat has brought the
peony season to an end at about the
time the cutting of the local crops
ordinarily begins. Practically all the
peonies are now cut; there will be a
few small lots from northern fields, but
the bulk of the stock either has been
disposed of or is in storage. The qual-
ity of the peonies haa been extremely
poor this season, and in general those
thus far disposed of have realized
much lower prices than ever before.
There has been an enormous waste and
there are quantities in storage which
will have little if any value later. At
the same time, really good peonies
have sold first-rate and have brought
what should be considered satisfactory
prices. The good stock in storage
should realize the usual values, for the
good peonies really are the best flowers
now on the market.

Beauties are more abundant, and
some of the growers who have begun
cutting from plants run specially for
a summer crop are getting really fine
flowers. Of these the supply is so large
that the quantities of low grade
Beauties are left with an extremely
poor market. Good roses are scarce;
the bulk of the stock is short in etem
and smaM in flower. It has b^en so
hot that tbo growers have- 'tfeifn able
to do hardly any other work than the
necessary watering and cutting; the
result is a much larger proportion than
usual of short-stemmed flowers. The
best grades of Killarney and Richmond
are selling fairly well.

Carnations are rapidly taking on the
midsummer characteristics; they are
small and soft. It is noticeable that
the demand for carnations has been un>

usually light since Memorial day; it
has been almost impossible to move
the receipts. The stock gave such poor
satisfaction when shipped in the ex-
treme heat last month that buyers are
afraid to tackle carnations — the orders
call for peonies, roses, sweet peas and
valley. Orchids have become less
abundant, and it is wisdom to place
orders in advance. There is plenty of
valley. Sweet peas have improved in
quality, but it is said the season will
be short; outdoor peas already are ar-
riving. Gladioli are abundant and sell-
ing cheaper.

Asparagus strings have joined smilax
as among the few items in short sup-
ply. Not many southern ferns have
arrived and the cold storage stock gen-
erally is extremely poor.

The general opinion is that season-
ably cool weather will result in a
prompt increase in demand and that
business should be good all through
June. As stock is being thrown out
rapidly, supplies are going down quite
fast, and those who are able to cut
really good stock look forward to a
prosperous three weeks.

Weather in May.

According to an official report, the
month was the warmest May expe-
rienced in Chicago since the local
weather office was established in 1871.
In fact, all records were broken, not
only for the extremes of heat, but also
for the highest average temperature.
There were six days with temperature
90 degrees or above, and the readings

Charles Schneider, who formerly did

started in the business again at 32
West Washington street, between State

second floor, just above the main en-

W. J. Smyth began the wedding
month by sending three men to Pon-

peonies and greens.

N. J. Wietor says that the big crop
of White Killarney now being cut by
Wietor Bros, is from plants which were
rested early and cut back.

Burglars blew open the safe in the
Forty-third street store of J. F. Kid-

knob was knocked off with a sledge-

the robbery was not discovered until

PHILADELPHIA.

The Bising Eastern Market.

The first seven days of June have
been disappointing in the sale of cut
flowers. The good stock has sold well,
but the outlet for the medium and
ordinary grades has been lacking. So
much of the stock fails to reach the
top grade that the market, as a whole,
is poor. The extremely hot weather
has spoiled many roses and carna-
tions, while greenhouse-grown sweet
peas were completely prostrated. Out-
door sweet peas, when fine, are the
best selling stock in the market, but
there are not a great many of them.
The rain that has come so freely at
last makes the supply uncertain, while
many are not yet in form.

Beauties, Marylands and Kaiserins
are the best roses. These, when nice,
sell well. Richmonds are commence-
ment favorites. Valley, too, is in re-
quest for weddings, and gardenias are
more popular. Cattleyas are dull. Car-
nations have suffered dreadfully from
the heat, particularly Enchantress. Win-
sor has stood it better, while there are
some nice whites. Carnations gener-
ally are on the back track at present,
needing every breath of this cool wave
to tone them up. Cornflowers are
abundant. Peonies are waning. The
height of the season has passed, but
we will have peonies for three weeks
yet. They have been offered at low

THE FIRST COMMENCEMENT BASKETS

Popular taste is a^ for BASKETS this year. It is decidedly to your interest to make the ipost of this fashion,
l)e(ause it gives you an o^poi%|jnity to display your skill and to use short -stemmed flowers to advantage. Our stock of
baskets is even finer than it was last season, when we were admittedly leaders in BASKETS as in all other FLORISTS'
SUPPLIES.

Our selection of BASKETS for handsome gifts aims at simplicity. People who have cultured ideas about flowers
and floral arrangements tell us that a basket should be simple rather than showy, with graceful lines and of pleaaing
proportions. We have carried out these ideas and offer you the result— an assortment of the most stylish BASKETS
that you or anyone else hag ever seen.

May we have a trial order, or, if you are using our BASKETS, as is quite likely, may we replenish your stock?

The cut flower market here for the
last two weeks has had its good and
bad days. The early days of last week
were warm and stock of all kinds was
rushed on the market, which, with the
light demand, caused a whole lot of
stock to be dumped. Carnations
seemed to have suffered the most, and
what was nice stock up to this time
is now small, soft and hard to sell at
any price. There are still some carna-
tions coming in tlfftt are good for this
time of the year, and these are clean-
ing up fairly well.

Memorial day brought a lot of busi-
ness, with most of the orders calling
for carnations and peonies. The carna-
tions were so soft it was uncertain to
take shipping orders, but the whole-
salers managed to get through the
orders and when all the business was
over the orders were well taken care
of considering the shortage of good
stock, and from all accounts the cus-
tomers were pleased. Peonies were in
great demand and sold up clean. The
local stock was in for this holiday, and
these, together with the southern stock
in storage for the rush, helped out in
great shape. The business for the
week was fine, and if the weather had
been right the trade would have en-
joyed a record-breaking business for
this holiday.

The week after Memorial day found
the weather much cooler and business
better all around. June weddings have
started and the market has taken on a
better tone. The week ending June 3
was a satisfactory one and stock of

the growers was a flower day origi-
nated by a local charitable institution
for crippled children, ordering 50,000
roses and carnations and selling them
on the streitB of the city, taking what
the public would give for the stock.
About 30,000 carnations were used this
day and the balance of the flowers
were roses and peonies. The sale was
a great success, being handled by so-
ciety ladies, and netted the home about
$1,800, as well as bringing a nice sum

coming to the front and getting the
best stock that money can buy.

Monday, June 5, found the market
pretty well filled with a good lot of
stock and business not so brisk as
usual for the regular Monday trade.
The weather suddenly turned hot again
and is bringing in the peonies and roses
by the express load.

Growers of bedding plants are all
well pleased with the business. Stock
in this line cleaned up much earlier
than usual and a good many of the
large growers are turning down orders
right along. The retailers in and out
of town are busy to their full capac-
ity and are working overtime getting
their orders out. All things considered,
weather conditions and all, we think
we have been fortunate, and we will
soon close a successful season.

Various Notes.

Mrs. J. F. Sullivan, who was injured
nearly a month ago, is still at St.
MarV's hospital.

B. Schroeter recently bought an
Everitt "30" touring car for the use
of his family. The florists of Detroit
are all pretty well supplied with autos.

The month of May was unusually
hot; consequently the last two meet-
ings of the Detroit Florists' Club
were called off. An important meet-
ing will be held June 19, and after that
little will be accomplished until Sep-
tember.

Philip Breitmeyer has been elected
president of the Broadway Public Mar-
ket Co. This company has commenced
the erection of a large modern market
building on Broadway. It is under-
stood that several florists have applied
for space. B. Schroeter 's new store
will be directly opposite this market.

E. Bleil, who recently sold out his
interest in the Flower Shop, is now
selling automobiles. H. S.

Savanna, HI. — John Lambert, of the
Savanna Greenhouses, has taken a part-
ner, William Dunn, formerly .vitli
Hoerber Bros., Chicago. The newly
organized firm has bought five acres of
ground in the east part of this town
and will remove to this tract the five
greenhouses purchased a year Cr two
ago from W. B. Lovell. Besides these
five houses and the present range of
four houses, two new houses will be
added.

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

On every hand the report is the
same— "best ever." This refers to
the business on Memorial day. Prices
did not advance to such an extent as
has been the case some years, and all
along the line trade was good. Carna-
tions were unseasonably short, but
aside from that there was plenty of
everything. Southern peonies were a
novelty here this year and took well.

All the growers now have their hands
full in outdoor work, while the green-
houses are being overhauled in readi-
ness for the early benching. Gradua-
tions will follow within the next two
or three weeks and, with the usual
plethora of June weddings, will keep
the retailers and decorators busy.

Various Notes.

Frank Morton had charge of nine
extra men at the greenhouses of C.~'HN^
Hunt during the Memorial day rush. \

A. T. Bunyard, of New York city,
has opened his branch store on Belle-
vue avenue, Newport, for the summer.

Frank Barker, of Warren, reports
that last season was the best he ever
had on violets. He will raise a much
larger crop the coming season.

Mr. Willard, of the Taunton Green-
houses, of Taunton, Mass., was a recent
visitor. W. H. M.

Six Pages of Retailers' Cards

This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the
facilities for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid
development of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and
so helpful 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
dne way of getting prompt action on the order in hand.

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?

The Market.

Four days in advance of Memorial
day the orders began to pour in by
mail, telegraph and telephone, indicat-
ing at an early date that the trade
would be heavy, and up went the price
of most items, though carnations re-
mained about the same. But the choice
of flowers mattered little to the pa-
trons; therefore all kinds of flowers
sold at a fair price and late comers
had to take what they could get.
Everything was sold and on the fol-
lowing Wednesday there was a clean
sheet to begin with. No more sleepy
carnations, no more flat, wide-open
roses staring one in the face and giv-
ing one the blues; no bedraggled iris,
snowballs and peonies to take up val-
uable space. All flowers were gone and
the fresh, crisp new stock was indeed
welcomed.

The warm spell previous to Memorial
day had put an end to even the late
varieties of tulips which usually find
a place with Decoration day stock, and
various other old standbys, such as

forgot-mc-nots, snowballs, dogwood and
late lilac, had passed their prime; so
the assortment was small this year.
Plants of all descriptions sold well, and
in some instances took the place of
flowers.

Sweet peas last week were small and
short-stemmed, and in some cases the
heavy rains had injured them. Peonies
are coming in greater quantities now
and are good, large flowers. They bring
a good price. A few days of cool
weather have had a splendid efl'ect
upon the roses and they are richer in
color, with firmer stems. Bermuda
lilies are plentiful. Beauties are better
in color and a little scarcer on account
of the cool weather. Cattleyas are
larger and are bringing a better price
this week. Cypripediums are scarce.
Plants for veranda and window boxes
are in great demand. So are Boston
and AVhitmani ferns.

George Boucher reports that business
was exceptionally good for Memorial
(lay and he had extra help in the store.

Salter Bros, had a good Memorial
day trade, but they do not regard it as
any larger than in previous years.

E. C. Campbell did a nice business
this year and says that things arc
moving.

The Rochester Floral Co. found Me-
morial day trade extra good and thej'
are still hustling.

J. B. Keller's Sons were greatly
rushed. They report a large gain over
the business of last Memorial day, and
they still have a busy month before
them.

H. £. Wilson was one of the busiest
florists during the week and did a tre-
mendous business.

George Hart and his men are still
hustling, getting out big shipments of
plants. Memorial day business was
good.

The Robinson-Macomber wedding
was the largest wedding Rochester has
had in several years. J. B. Keller's

ninth annual meeting, Marblehead, Mass., Jane
20 to 22, 1011.

The earliest shipment of Japanese lily
bulbs is due to leave Yokohama in about
a fortnight.

The Iowa Seed Dealers' Association
held its fifth annual meeting at Des
Moines, June 6.

The United States Department of Ag-
riculture has issued a bulletin entitled
"Grimm Alfalfa and Its Utilization in
the Northwest."

The prospect is for an exceptionally-
good convention of the American Seed
Tsade Association at Marblehead, Mass.,
a fortnight hence.

The Eochelle Seed Co., of Kochelle,
III., is erecting another 2-8tory brick
building, 48x82, the same size as the
present structure, which it adjoins.

Cablos Jensen, export manager for
L. Dsehi^feldt, Odense, Denmark, sailed
for home .Tune 8, on the S. S. Oscar II,
after a trip extending to the Pacific
coast.

The United States Seed Go. has been
incorporated at Memphis, Tenn., with a
capital stock of $500, by F. D. Craig, R.
Wormely, W. E. Ehodes, J. S. Crofford
and John W. Apperson.

One seedsman, but ao far as known,
only one, now prints the non-warranty
on his letter-head in a position to comply
with the legal necessities as outlined in
a number of recent court decisions af-
fecting other lines of trade.

Condon Bros., Bockford, 111., is a
new firm in the jobbing and contract
growing seed trade. John R. Condon has
bewi with H. W. Buckbee for twenty
years, recently as superintendent, and
Leonard Condon has been for sixteen
years salesman with the same house.

Advices have reached the trade from
the pea growing districts in Germany
which are discouraging. The weather
hap been so dry that the outlook at the
end of May was not so good as it wad a
year ago. Estimates that are now being
made on the crop run from twenty to
forty per cent, which would be an aver-
age of less than one-third of a crop;
this, however, is provided there is no
further damage done. This will have
considerable influence on the market
price of peas in Europe.

PURITY

The best and most salable Freesia in the American and European markets. Our stock of this
now popular and famous Freesia is the largest in this country. We have bulbs that have been grown
under glass (the illustration shows one of our houses), also bulbs grown by the originator, R. Fischer.
Both of these stacks are the true Purity stock, from which we receive our bulbs. The very highest
quality is guaranteed. The demand for this variety in all the wholesale markets is persistent and
universal. Its popularity is undiminished; practically it has no competitor.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

JCNB 8, 1911.

during the months of July and August,
the facilities of the Seed Laboratory
of the Bureau of Plant Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C, will be available,
as far as space permits, to anyone
wishing to become familiar with the
practical methods of seed testing. There
will be an opportunity to observe the
laboratory methods of testing for ger-
mination and mechanical purity, includ-
ing the recognition of crop seeds and
the commoner weed seeds. ' '

ENaUSH DISCLAIMER FALLS.

In England the Lords' Bench has"
overridden the lower courts and the
seed trade's disclaimer. The case was
one in which a retail seedsman bought
sainfoin, Onobrychis viciaefolia, from a
wholesale dealer in grass and clover
seeds, parceling the stock out to a num-
ber of his customers. It proved to be
seeds of giant sainfoin, a less desirable
variety, and the farmers applied to their
local seedsman for compensation. He
settled with them and passed the claim
back to the wholesalers, who stood on
the non-warranty on the invoice. On
the first trial the .plaintiff was awarded
damages. On advancement, the court
of appeals, by two to one, reversed the
earlier judgment. The Lords' Bench
now restores it.

There was no imputation of fraud in
the transaction, but the error of sending
out the wrong seed arose from the fact
that the seeds of common and giant
sainfoin are not distinguishable by
either eyesight or touch, and it seemed
probable from the evidence that the
original grower, a farmer, who supplied
the seed to the wholesale seedsnien, was
■not aware of the difference between the
!two races of sainfoin. Lord Justice
Fletcher-Moulton, one of the appeal
judges, gave his reasons at length for
differing from his two learned brothers,
which, briefly stated, were that as the
buyer could not detiermine, without
growing the seed and seeing the plants
resulting, whether the seed was true or
not, he was compelled to accept it, and
that this fact overrode the disclaimer
behiiid which the seedsmen sought to
shelter themselves from any conse-
quences of mistake on |heir own prem-
ises. The Lords' Bench seems to have
taken the same view. ,

HOLLAND'S BULB EXPORTS.

The General Society for Bulb Cul-
ture at Ilaarlcm publishes statistics
of the foreign bulb trade of Holland
by years since 1899, showing the ex-
ports and imports by countries in kilos
(1 l<iIo=2.2ii46 pounds). Following is
the record of exports for the last two
years :

are those grown on

They are extremely low-budded on the collar

In 2-year-old, strong fleld-grown plants, we
have In stock for Fall 1911-Spring 1912 delivery

Lyon Rose, Jessie, Prince de Buigarie, Lady Ash-
town, Mme. Ravery. Mme. Car. Testout, Kalserin
Aug. Victoria, Gruss an Teplitz, Druschki, Phari-
saer, etc., etc.

The Dog Briar is the very best stock for out-
of-door roses. They outlive any other stock,
and the color of flowers is more brilliant and
true. Roses on this stock are far superior to
those grown on own roots— Manettl, Rugosa,

years. On the whole, the trade has
greatly increased in the last ten years
— doubled in exports. The records show
a large increase of imports from Japan.
These began in 1902 with 3,311 kilos,
and were more or less in quantity dur-
ing each of the intervening years till
1910, when, apparently, Japanese bulbs
suddenly sprang into great favor. The
largest growth of imports is from the
British Isles, the amount increasing
800 per cent in ten years. In the last
ten years the exports to the British
Isles and to Germany and Austria have
doubled and to the United States and
the other countries in the list have
nearly trebled*

"Freezing weather the first week of
April seriously threatened the bulb
crop in this district," writes Consul
Prank W. Mahin, at Amsterdam. "De-
veloping tulips and hyacinths were
nipped by the frost and total destruc-
tion was feared. But an abundance of
sunshine and fairly warm weather
since then have improved the situa-
tion, and it is now probable that the
crop will be normal, though retarded
in development."

few days. A most excellent program
has been arranged and some well-known
seedsmen and instructors in agricul-
tural work are to appear. There are
three entirely new features this year,
which should prove of much benefit
to all members in attendance. Tele-
graphic crop reports will be received
from most of the growers in the United
States and also some from Canada,
giving the latest crop conditions up
to Tuesday, June 20. A question box
will provide for general discussion and
be the means of obtaining information
on any subject that is of particular in-
terest to any member of the association.
Questions may be mailed or handed
either to the president or secretary.
Each state correspondent is asked to
make a verbal report if he is present,
or otherwise a written report, of all
legislative matters that have come up
in the last year within his state or
states. The social features of the pro-
gram have not be.en forgotten and ar-
rangements have been made to enjoy
as much as possible of. the delightful
summer resort at which the meeting
will be held. The annual banquet will
be given on Wednesday evening, June
21, and arrangements have been made
with the hotel so that there will be
no extra charge to the seedsmen who
are guests of the hotel.

SEEDS :: BULBS :: PLANTS

72 Cortlandt St., NKW YORK CITT

The man who knows every-
thing has not been born; but
the man who thinks he does
is born at the rate of a dozen
a minute. As he grows older,
however, he realizes how
little he knows, or rather sees
how much he doesn't know.
The bull-headed kind are
ashamed to admit it, but the
real wise man you will always
find seeking knowledge, ask-
ing questions and reasoning
out things continually.

The reason why Horseshoe
Brand Bulbs are superior to
most brands is principally
because a shrewd Japanese
grower and exporter reasoned
carefully years ago, and
rightly came to the conclusion
that it paid to throw away
defective plants in the lily
fields rather than to allow
them to be marketed as his
product. Moreover, he rea-
soned further and concluded
that it was policy to spend
more money for fertilizer and
labor in cultivating the bulbs
to avoid being obliged to
stand a loss for crippled
plants, until at the present
time his crops are perhaps
the finest in the world. There
are no better bulbs produced
that we know of, and they
are offered to you as reason-
ably as we can afford to sell
them. Just try the Horse-
shoe Brand next fall. Cold
storage bulbs ready for
future or immediate ship-
ment.

The Weekly Florists^ Review.

June 8, 1911.

PACIFIC COAST.

Portland, Ore. — The Gibson Kose
Nurseries have been incorporated, with
a capital stock of $50,000.

Garfield, Wash.— Scott Bros., of the
Roselawn Greenhouses, have purchased
J. L. Bourn's range of 10,000 square
feet of glass at Moscow, Idaho, and
will run it in conjunction with their
establishment here.

Spokane, Wash. — M. Armstrong,
Hoyt Bros. Co. and the Spokane Florist
Co. unite in reporting Memorial day
sales as the heaviest for the season in
the history of the city. An immense
stock was on hand and was about ex-
hausted during the day.

San Oabriel, Oal. — E. Fischer, orig-
inator of Purity freesia, was much
pleased with the illustration of William
Nicholson's stock in The Eevifew of
May 25, especially as he had supplied
Mr. Nicholson with a part of his bulbs
for last season. Mr. Fischer says there
are numerous growers all over the coun-
try who have fine Purity, as it is of
easy culture and responds quickly to
good treatment.

POBTI^ND, ORE.

The Market.

Business last week was considered a
harvest for the florist. Several weeks
of cold and rainy weather retarded all
outside stock, so it was up to the flo-
rist to supply the major part of the
flowers for Memorial day. Carnations
realized $1.50 per dozen and were sold
out several days in advance. Boses
were in full crop and yet not equal to
the demand. Sweet peas, iris, gladioli
and poppies were disposed of at top
prices. The shipping trade was un-
usually active. It was necessary in
many cases to substitute when the
specified fiowers were not procurable.
Considerable stock was shipped from
California, but everything was cleaned
out before the day was over.
. The closing days of the week find a
considerable change in the weather; it
is extremely warm, for which we are
grateful, for it was sadly needed to
bring out the roses, as the rose festival
commenced June 5.

Water lilies are arriving in limited
quantities and find ready sale.

Various Notes.

John E. Fotheringham, representing
the F. E. Pierson Co., is calling on the
trade this week. E. E. C.

SAN FBANCISCO.

The Market.

From all accounts, Memorial day
trade, in general, was not ahead of that
of last year. There was a shortage of
common flowers, such as stocks, candy-
tuft and gaillardias, but it is not clear
whether the big demand for cheap blos-
soms was to blame or whether there is
less of this stock grown now than for-
merly. Bride gladioli were late again
this year, owing to the continued cold
weather, and they will not be in their
prime for another week. This is small
satisfaction to those who grow them,
as they have been in big demand for

the last two weeks. Sweet peas were
not as plentiful as usual, for the same
reason, and the prices consequently
ranged higher than last season. Peonies,
except a few late patches, are out of
the race for this year. Bulbous stock,
with the exception of gladioli, is over
or not yet ready. Outside roses sold
well, but inside stock of the same flower
moved slowly. Carnations were in
about sufficient quantity to fill all de
mands and outside carnations were not
used except for the cheapest cemetery
bouquets.

Those dealers who cater to the out-
of-town shipping trade report that, as
already stated, the demand was almost
exclusively for cheap stock, and al-
though the bulk of flowers sent may
have been equal to that of last year,
the gross sales will hardly exceed it.

PLANTS YELLOW AND STUNTED.

What conditions cause tomato plants
to become stunted and get off color,
when grown in the bench, in flats or in
pots? What causes celery to act in the
same way? Would a weak solution of
nitrate of soda be of any benefit?

A. B. R.

The cause of the plants turning yel-
low and looking stunted is usually a
lack of sufficient fertilizer for so many
plants in a small quantity of soil. If
more fertilizer were added before put-
ting the soil into the boxes, it would
be better. A weak solution of any
fertilizer will help, but I believe that
you will find dried blood more satis-
factory than any other. . Dissolve a
handful in a sprinkler can ^alf full
of warm water; add a little cold water
to cool it before using, and use about
that much to every flat. of plants. The
benefits will be noticeable in three
days. H. G.

MILLEFEDS ON CUCUMBERS.

How can I get rid of insects like the
ones I am sending under separate cov-
er? My benches in the greenhouses are
just covered with these worms and in
the evening they come out of the
ground and they eat into the cucumber
stalks. They eat up from the bottom
of the roots and kill the plants. My
whole crop will be gone in a short time.

W. K.

The pests are millepeds, more com-
monly called thousand-legs. Tobacco
dust scattered on the surface will de-
stroy many. They can also be poisoned
by laying a mash of fresh shorts, sweet
ened with molasses and mixed with
Paris green, but if they are in the soil
in such numbers the quickest and most
effectual way to clean them out will be
to secure some carbon bisulphide and
pour a teaspoonful into holes bored in
the soil, eighteen inches apart each way.
Avoid using any lights when pouring
out this liquid, as it is of an explosive
nature. Cover the holes firmly as soon
as the carbon has been poured in, and
do it preferably while the soil is quite
damp, when the fumes will penetrate
better. It will be well to sterilize your
soil before planting cucumbers another
season. This will insure your getting

rid of all insect pests, as well as all
weed seeds. C. W.

STBAWBEBBIES FBOM SEED.

How can I gather strawberry seeds,
and when should they be planted with-
out the aid of glass? E. W. C.

The best time to sow strawberry seed*
is as soon after it has been cleaned as
possible. The fresher the seeds, the
better they will germinate. Select only
large and perfect fruit for seeds. You
can dry these on paper or wash. Seeds
which float on the water are of no use.
Those which sink are good. Select
a sheltered and rather shady spot for
the bed. Pulverize the soil well. Cover
the seeds lightly and keep well wat-
ered. All the seedlings will fruit next
season. If raised early under glass,
many will fruit the same year.

EUBOPEAN NUBSEBY CONDITIONS

In the recently issued government
bulletin on the danger of the spread of
gipsy and brown-tail moths through im-
ported nursery stock, C. L. Marlatt
says in part:

"During the summer of 1909, and
also again in 1910, Dr. L. O. Howard,
who was in Europe principally to super-
vise the introduction of parasites for
the gipsy and brown-tail moths into
Massachusetts, made a careful inspec-
tion of the nursery regions of Holland,
Belgium and northern France, and also
England.

* * The writer was in Europe, on a per-
sonal trip, in the summer of 1909, and
made an examination of similar condi-
tions in Holland, Belgium and parts of
Germany.

"Holland probably presents the
cleanest bill of health in the matter of
insect pests, and particularly of the
gipsy moth and brown-tail moth. This
country enjoys a good inspection serv-
ice, and all Dutch nurseries are care-
fully inspected twice each year, so
there is probably less danger now from
shipments from Holland than from any
other country.

"Belgium, in 1909, was in very bad
condition, and the writer found the
brown-tail moth more abundant there
than he had ever seen it, hedgerows
often being plastered with the winter
nests. One such row the writer noted
was only a few miles from the border
of Holland and within easy flight of
the moths to large Dutch nurseries.
Belgium has, however, since September,
1909, established an inspection service,
applying only to nurseries exporting to
America and limited to field examina-
tion, twice yearly, of growing stock.
While a distinct improvement, the in-

spection as indicated is still inade-
quate, as shown by much infested stock
still coming to this country under offi-
cial certificate.

"In France, in 1909, Dr. Howard
found no governmental inspection sys-
tem of nurseries. The certificates at-
tached to shipments of nursery stock
received in this country from France
were signed, as a rule, by men con-
nected with agricultural schools, and
probably in the case of most of the
certificates the stock had never been
seen by the expert. The general in-
festation of the stock coming from
France to this country during the last
two years made it abundantly plain
that these certificates were absolutely
valueless.

"Dr. Howard found that nursery
stock for export was in many cases
grown in the vicinity of hedges and
trees infested with the brown-tail moth
and gipsy moth and other injurious
insects not yet introduced into the
United States, and no special precau-
tions were being taken by the nursery-
men to prevent the infestation of ex-
port stock by injurious insects. The
brown-tail moth nests are so character-
istic and noticeable that it is only by
absolute indifference on the part of
French exporters that they are packed
for shipment without removal.

"As a result of the agitation of
1909, the French exporters promised to
take all possible precautions, and the
French ministry of agriculture prom-
ised to found a governmental inspec-
tion service. The Chamber of Deputies,
however, failed to pass the inspection

advised, through the Department of
State and the ambassador of France
to the United States, of the final estab-

Dr. Howard by Dr. Paul Marchal, who
is charged with its execution.

"In England Dr. Howard found that,
as in France, there was no govern-
mental nursery inspection. The nur-
sery conditions there are somewhat bet-
ter than in France, but the' brown -tail
moth and other injurious insects which
might easily be imported on nursery
stock occur in England. The officials
of the government had the establish-
ment of a governmental inspection serv-
ice under consideration, and were will-
ing to establish such a service, but
stated that the demand for it must
come from British nurserymen. An at-
tempt was therefore made by Dr.
Howard ,tp get these interests to ask
for such service, and, while no action
has yet been taken, it seems probable
that the English government will move
in this direction."

The Weekly Florists^ Review.

June 8, 1911.

DAYTON, O.

The Market.

Speaking of Decoration day trade,
we can say it was quite satisfactory in
most respects. The demand was fine,
but it did not exceed the supply, as
there was plenty to go around. Hot
and dry weather, such as has not been
experienced in May for many years,
was what the florists had to contend
with; consequently stock, and perfectly
fresh at that, only lasted a short time.

Peonies could be seen everywhere
in great quantities and were hard to
keep, causing many to find their way
to the ash barrel. It seemed that this
year everybody had peonies for sale,
not only the florists, but farmers, mar-
ket gardeners and private individuals,
and the price by the dozen varied from
15 to 75 cents, which is the cheapest
they have ever been known to sell.

The weather also had a telling effect
on roses, which looked more like Au-
gust blooms than like those of May.
The majority were small and burnt
looking, while the supply was heavy;
nevertheless, there being none better
on the market, they sold remarkably
well, as it was a case of take them or
none. These conditions were especially
true with Brides and Maids, while
Maryland, Killarney, Ehea Reid and
Kaiserin held up fairly well. Carna-
tions also came in quite small and
burnt on the edges. The hot weather
seemed to come so suddenly that
neither flowers nor growers had an op-
portunity to get adapted to it.

Gladioli and lilies held up well and
were really the most presentable of all
the flowers, except peonies, which were
also of good quality. -Good ferns were
diflicult to find, most of them coming
in soft and burnt. Smilax was scarce,
likewise Sprengeri and plumosus. Small
flowers, such as daisies, stocks, etc.,
sold well in mixed bouquets.

While stoGk was in many respects
poor, and the weather also was against
us, nevertheless results were good and
,the sales figured up to a good Decora-
iion day business.

The pot plant trade has kept up a
steady pace, and as it started earlier
-tMlsih usual this year the choices^ varie-
ties of stock have been cleaned out
and at the present time there is
nothing but the leavings hanging on,
and these are being sold in job lots
to the street fakers.

Trade since Decoration day has kept
up remarkably well, owing to the June
weddings, commencements and con-
firmations, and it promises to be quite
a busy month.

Various Notes.

The Miami Floral Co. has already
benched several thousand carnation
plants, in order to be able to start cut-
ting new carnations in August. This
firm is also busy planting chrysanthe-
mums and roses.

F. Lembke spent a night in Dayton
last week.

Harriet Van Meter, of Springfield,
O., who has been in Oklahoma for the
last two months, reported for duty
just in time to help out with the Deco-
ration day rush. She reports a royal
good time.

Mrs. L. D. Johnson says she had a
fine trade for Memorial day, cleaning
out on both cut flowers and plants.

It is Not Too Late to Plant

DREER'S SELECT POTTED ROSES

We can still supply, in prime condition for immediate planting, strong 5 and 6-inch pots of the following choice lists
of roses. Do not discourage late planting, but supply the stock while your customers are in the humor for buying, which
always occurs when roses are in flower in the garden during June. We are prepared to meet this late demand and your
customers will be pleased and will not only gain a season's growth, but from the Hybrid, Tea and other free flowering
varieties they will secure a sufficient number of flowers to not only satisfy them, but also stimulate a desire for future
plantings.

FOR OUTDOOR PLANTING

The Rosea Ijere offered are field grown plants which have been potted into 5 or 6-inch pots (according to the growth
of the variety) during the winter months. They have been stored in cold houses and cold frames and are in the best pos-
sible condition to turn over to your retail customers for outdoor planting, giving an entirely different result from stock
carried over winter in storage. For best results the plants should be shipped in pots; in this shape they will carry safely
to reasonable distances by freight. ^

The Weekly Florists' Review^

June 8, 1911.

BALTIMOBE.

The Market.

Last week's business was fair as to
volume, with the seasonable and in-
evitable dowhward tendency of prices,
and the stocks on hand at the end were
closed out by liber'al concessions on
figures, but we now seem to have
reached the acme of dullness. At this
writing, June 3, the Baltimore Flo-
rists' Exchange is loaded up with all
kinds of flowers, with few buyers, and
the street men are wary of purchasing
in heavy lots. Peonies are to be had
at a low figure and are arriving from
every point of the compass.

While there are a number of small
wedding decorations called for, the big
jobs are few and far between. A num-
ber of our society buds are being mar-
ried, but they are not making as much
show this year as in the past. With
all holidays now behind us, and only
commencement exercises and June wed-
dings to foilow, the present season is
coming to an end, after which time
alterations, vacations, etc., are in order.

Various Notes.

Halliday Bros., who conduct one of
the oldest florists' establishments in
Baltimore, have disposed of all of their
greenhouses and land, and the prop-
erty will be improved with cottages.
Halliday Bros, were among the largest
growers of carnations in Baltimore.

Q..

WATERBUEY, CONN.

The Market.

Business last week was most satis-
factory, l^ineral work has been
heavy. June weddings are now de-
manding large supplies of peas and
valley, both of which are scarce. Not
only is business active, but prices re-
main up. Peonies are abundant.
Memorial day business was much
greater than most florists looked for-
ward to. Everything in cut flowers
and bedding plants was readily sold.
Lilacs were gone. Some iris and snow-
balls were about all the garden stock
obtainable.

The florists are now looking forward
to the June weddings and high school
commencements.

Various Notes.

Alexander Dallas had his stores on
Grand street and North Main street
prettily arranged for the Decoration
day trade, which kept his help on the
jump for a few days.

The Flower Shop, at 144 Bank street,
did a big business in cut flowers.

Saxe & Floto certainly got their
share of sales, both in cut flowers and
bedding plants. B.

Bluffton, Ind. — Myers & Co. 's spring
business has far exceeded that of last
year, especially in bedding plants.

PITTSBUSG.

The Market.

Junie 1 fiijds our plantsmen pretty
well cleaned. up after a ihost satisfac-
tory season. There is still enough
work in the way of planting and filling
of window and porch boxes, but the
houses are about emptied of anything
good, and all report a fine season.

Decoration day was really a surprise
this year. Everything one could think
of was in bloom outdoors and it was
thought that would pretty nearly sup-
ply the demand, but, on the contrary,
the demand on the wholesalers was
never so great as this year and stock
was surprisingly good considering, the
extremely hot weather of the previous
two weeks. Koses, of course, were
smaller, but still good, and carnations
have stood the heat finely. Business
generally has been good since Decora-
tion day; weddings and commence-
ments, no doubt, have made the great-
est demand, but a couple of good fu-
nerals have helped.

Home peonies were in for Decoration
day, the first time in years. For some
reason outdoor flowers did not seem to
have as good keeping quality as usual,
and their season has been considerably
shorter.

Various Notes.

T. P. Langhans has moved to his
summer home and has added a new
Cadillac auto, from which he is get-
ting a good deal of pleasure these fine
evenings.

Mrs. E. A. Williams had a beautiful
window of gloxinias, ferns and Kalmia
latifolia in bloom.

Ba^dolph & McClements made a spe-
cial run on hydrangea plants for Deco-
ration-day, and their show last week
was grand. They still have all hands
working overtime on porch boxes.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. has
been carrying a fine lot of Beauties
and lilies, which are good stock this
hot weather.

Wilbert Berger, age 17 years, an em-
ployee of the A. "W. Smith Co., was in-
jured on the freight elevator Monday
night'. May 29, and died in the Homeo-
pathic hospital Thursday. Burial was
froni his home, 3864 Douglas avenue,
Sunday, June 4. Hoo-Hoo.

Karl Klinke has purchased his part-
ner's- interest in the firm of Klinke &
Wehrheim, in Jenkins Arcade, and will
continue the business in his own name.

,Co. is successor to Dille & Konzelman.

HOW ABOUT YOUR EMPTY BENCHES?

After Decoration Day you have empty benches. Will it pay you to have
them empty? Take a few minutes to think and consider which will pay the
beet. Chrysanthemums? No, I know something better. I plant a bench or
two with asters, in July, and in August I cut them. That gives me time to re-
fill my benches with a fine lot of fall and holiday plants, such as cyclamen,
ferns and poinsettias, roses and other plants suitable for my fall business. I
am going to write an order right away to Crodlrey Aschmann, Philadelphia,
for his GIANT CRCGO ASTER. It is the best early branching cut aster in the world.

Yes, we have it for sale in four separate colors; 20,000 of them in white,
purple, rose and pink, very strong plants, 2>4-inch pots, $3.00100; $25.00 1000.

WOBCESTEB, MASS.

The Market.

Decoration day business was a rec-
ord breaker. The weather was perfect.
The good reports come from all sides,
combined with the general complaint
of not having enough stock. Some of
the people who put off getting their
flowers until the last minute were
greatly disappointed. Though there
was a large supply of carnations, they
brought good prices and more could have
been sold had they been at hand. The
rose crop was also heavy, but the trade
did not seem to run in that direction
until the supply of other stock was
exhausted. Great quantities of sweet
peas and jasmines were shipped into
this market and were readily picked
up. Ferns were so scarce that it was
almost impossible to get them, which
proved a great inconvenience to those
who had a heavy demand for bouquets.

Besides the Decoration day rush,
there was a big demand for funeral
work, and the florists were kept on
the jump from early morning until late
at night.

Various Notes.

The Protective Union, on Main
street, had about all the business it
was possible to handle, disposing of a
great many blooming plants. This city
is about cleaned out of good geraniums
and bedding plants.

The Pierce Floral Co. reports busi-
ness fine for Memorial day.

H. F. A. Lange had a big share of
the trade. He had a fine supply of
bedding plants and cut flowers.

F. Sokol, the wholesaler, was kept
busy for a few days carrying stock to
the retailers in this city.

Mr. Cook, the Marlboro carnation
grower, did a fine business in Decora-
tion week. He certainly had no
trouble in disposing of his carnations.
He sends supplies to Springfield and
Worcester.

A. George, whose greenhouses are at
Marlboro, reports business for the last
winter as "the best ever." He has
the reputation of being one of the best
violet growers in the New England
states. He is busy now getting his
asters ready for the summer trade.

H. F. Littlefield is still doing busi-
ness at the old stand. He reports that
last season's business was one of the
best be ever had. He has built up a
fine trade. He reports a fine Memo-
rial day business. B.

The Weekly Fbrists' Review.

JCNB 8, 1911.

■--,.='

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

The debutante season will begin this
month in Cleveland, to avoid such an
overcrowding of events as was the case
two years ago. Kaiserin roses are ex-
tremely scarce and White Killarney
roses are short-stemmed, which makes
the June wedding orders hard to fill.
There is plenty of good valley, maiden-
hair ferns and orchids. American
Beauty roses are a little off color, but
plentiful. June business is holding up
well and nobody seems discouraged.

Various Notes.

The Cleveland Florists' Club and
the Flower Club will hold a picnic
sometime in July. The same commit-
tee which so ably conducted the May
dance will have charge of the arrange-
ments for the picnic, and it is expected
that every florist in and about Cleve-
land will be on deck.

Mrs. A. Lincoln Brown has an ex-
hibit at the Ideal Home show. While,
owing to the extreme heat, she is not
making an elaborate exhibit, she is
the only florist represented, and her
bridal table attracts a great deal of
attention.

Otto C. Knoble has moved to his
country home for the summer.

Several of the florists were guests of
Frank Friedley for a fishing party
along Rocky river on Saturday night,
June 3. They say the fish were biting
in fours, threes and a pair. .

The Ohio Floral Co. and Knoble Broa
are closing at noon on Sundays during
June, July and August. C. D. F.

Kankakee, HI. — Splear Bros., owners
of the Whittemore farm, east of town,
are building a greenhouse, 50x200,
which will be completed this summer.
Next winter they will grow lettuce for
the Chicago market and in the follow-
ing season they will grow carnations.

NEW HAVEN, CONN.

The Market.

Business last week exceeded expecta-
tions. There seems to be a satisfac-
tory report from all sides in regard to
Memorial day. Most of the growers
and retailers had to work two or three
nights in the effort to fill their orders.
Funeral work kept coming in, to help
make things interesting.

Bedding plants sell well and at good
prices. Pansies and daisies are fine.
These sold fast at Memorial day, as
well as geraniums, forget-me-nots and
hydrangeas in pots. Valley has been in
splendid demand. Weddings are nu-
merous. Sweet peas are still good and
there is a persistent call for them for
the June weddings.

Since the Memorial day rush there
has still been a large supply of roses,
and they are of fine quality. The Maid
and Bride roses are the rage for the
June weddings, though White Kil-
larney is also a favorite. There is a
good supply of carnations, at moderate
prices.

Various Notes.

J. N. Champion & Co. did their usual
big business for Memorial day. They
sold quantities of roses and carnations.
Their stock of plants was complete and
seasonable.

James Bruce had a large stock of
plants and had no trouble in disposing
of them. He also sold lots of cut
flowers.

A. 0. McCrea disposed of lots of
plants and cut flowers.

Alfred Ostermann says business was
fine and he could have sold many more
plants, especially geraniums.

Mrs. Robert Arnold says she could
have done a much larger trade had the
flowers been at hand., v

Charles Munro was iept busy during
the rush trying to supply the public
with bouquets, which were bo14 about
as fast as they were made.

William Long reports good sales of
bouquets and plants.

S. H. Moore, of Qhapel street, put
in a busy week.- Several large wed-
ding decorations, with the Memorial
day business, kept him hustling. B.

Greenhouse Heating.

Subscribers are invited to write, the
editor of the Heating ^Department, de-
scribing their troubles or asking any
questions regarding the heating of green-
houses, the piping or boiler-room. But
please do not ask us to make a choice of
apparatus for you. Each boiler adver-
tised in The Keview is a good boiler, and
the advertisers sell them on their merits.

THE COAL MARKET.

The situation in the coal market this
spring is exactly the reverse of the
situation one year ago. Last season
many mines were tied up by strikes.
This was especially true of the western
district, and the eastern mines, pro-
ducing such coals as Pocahontas, had
the field almost to themselves. Coal
was in short supply all through the
summer, and there were dire forebod-
ings as to what would happen once
winter set in. At no time during the
season were there any car shortages or
freight blockades, and once the west-
ern mines got their labor troubles set-
tled production was so heavy that coal
was at a discount all season long.
Consumption averaged less than usual,
and this spring the market has been
in a condition some coal men describe
as bordering on demoralization. There
are more cars of coal on track at prac-
tically all the centers than there are
buyers who care to take them in. This
looks like a favorable time for florists
to fill their bins.

TWO CONNECTED HOUSES.

We are building two houses, each
30x150 feet. The houses will be con-
nected. They will be built on ground
that slopes to the east. There is about
four feet of a drop in the 150 feet.
The boiler will be at the east end of the
houses. The walls of the houses are
six feet high and the ridge is thirteen
feet from the ground. We want a tem-
perature of 65 degrees at night and 70
to 80 degrees in the daytime, at 5 de-
grees below zero. There are four beds
on the floor, the full length of the
house. How many 2-inch flows and re-
turns will be needed and where would
you place them to get the best results?
Where would you place the expansion
tank? We want to use the gravity sys-
tem, to help the flow of water. The
supply tank will be above the houses,
on the higher ground. What size of
feed pipe will be needed! What size
of boiler 1 H. B.

To heat a house 30x150 feet to 65
degrees in weather 5 degrees below zero
would require either nineteen or twenty
8-iacli pipes, according to the exposure

and condition of the houses. Except
under exceptionally favorable circum-
stances, not more than 250 square feet
of radiation should be supplied by a
2-inch flow pipe. Too few flows give a
sluggish circulation and lessen the
efficiency of the system. Not less than
seven 2-inch flows should be used and
eight would be better, but when a
greenhouse is more than seventy-five
feet long I think it is more satisfac-
tory if 2 14 inch flow pipes are used. A
desirable plan would be to start from
the boiler, either with one 4-inch or two
3-inch main flow pipes for. each house,
and break these up so as to have four
21^ -inch flows and fifteen 2-inch returns
in each of the houses. The flows should
have a slight fall and two can be
placed on the side walls, and two on
the purlin posts or suspended from the
roof. To supply the two houses the
boiler should be of sufficient size to
supply 4,000 square feet of radiating
surface.

A TILE AND CONCBETE STACK.

wl?, ;l)uilii 'a smokestack, thirty-two
feet high, of 15-inch terra-cotta pipe,
cementing all the joints thoroughly.
Then, procuring some 16-inch boards,
we made a wooden form, two and one-
half feet square and sixteen inches
high, around the terra-cotta. Having
a supply of coal ashes that contained
plenty of fine dust, we mixed the ashes
with cement in the proportion of one
part of cement to five of ashes, mak-

ing the mixture almost as thin as
water. We hoisted this to the top of
the 16-inch boards, poured it in and
continually kept tamping it with a
long pole. When this form was filled
we made another, and so on to the
top of the stack. After two weeks we
took the forms down and we had a
good and cheap stack.

A stack of any ordinary size could
be built in this way, and the price of
the terra-cotta would be about the
same as the cost, in labor, time and
material, of inside forms.

The Market.

Memorial day business, on the whole,
was highly satisfactory. All fears that
flowers would be scarce proved ground-
less. Carnations were of good quality.
There was a large amount of funeral
work, and many wedding bouquets
were also made during the rush. This
is the month of weddings, and business,
as a consequence, should be good.

Various Notes.

•

Olson & Lunden had great success in
disposing of their large supply of cut
flowers. Their Shasta daisies looked
fine last week, being one mass of
blooms.

Otto Glueck, of Marion, hit it right
with his sweet peas for Decoration
day. They were in great demand.

I am fully satisfied with your No. 2 Kroeschell boiler. I have had differ-

as yours. I have 7000 sq. ft. of glass, and your boiler wouklrtake care of 8000

cold weather ; otherwise from six to eight hours.

ing cut flowers at retail, a suit has
been filed in the district court asking
that Mr. Walter's 1,000 shares of stock
in the concern be forfeited as liqui-
dated damages and be turned back to
the company.

The Denver Wholesale Florists' Co.
is the plaintiff in the action. It sets
forth that June 30, 190&, an agreement
was entered into by seven local florists
not to sell cut flowers to any other
persons or firms than the plaintiff com-
pany. Each of the seven florists held
1,000 shares of stock in the concern
and each agreed to place his stock cer-
tificate in the hands of Ernest Morris
as trustee.

It is alleged that, April 1, 1911, Mr.
Walter opened a flower store in the
business section of the city and has
been selling cut flowers in violation of
his agreement. The court is asked to
decree that Mr. Walter has lost the
right to his stock and that Trustee
Morris is ordered to surrender the cer-
tificate to the plaintiff concern. The
other stockholders in the company are
Ben Boldt, Emil Glauber, N. A. Ben-
son, L. C. Waterbury, Fred Hall and
F. C. Maler.

The Market.

There is a large supply of carna-
tions arriving, biit they are feeling the
effects of the hot weather. Koses are
in plentiful supply, but of poor quality.
American Beauties are exceptionally
good for the season, and will be in
great demand for commencements, Fri-
day, June 9, which will relieve the
overstocked condition of the market.
New eastern ferns arriving are good.

Various Notes.

C. J. Ohmer is shipping some fine
asparagus from Palm Beach, Fla.

William Murphy reports some extra
large orders of carnations for June 9.

The florists of the Sixth street flower
market are still selling geraniums as
fast as they can bring them to market.

Peonies for Memorial day were ex-
cellent. There appeared to be more
flowers used in the cemeteries than
usual.

The wholesale houses have all de-
cided to close at 5 p. m., from July 1
until September 1.

Max Rudolph and Henry Schwartz
are making preparations to start for
Germany about July 10.

The Market.

1:

The continued warm weather has
changed the market considerably.
Stock comes on with a rush and then
flies open so quickly that the dealers
sell a dollar's worth and waste 50
cents' worth. Some varieties of peonies
are flowering which in other years we
are cutting June 20. Carnations are
small and the rank growth makes them
hard to move. Outdoor stock for Me-
morial day was a thing of the past —
that is, lilacs, snowballs and other such
flowers. Of course, this was not much
loss to the trade, as such flowers move
in large quantities and at low prices.
Peonies sold well at a good price. Car-
nations, roses and peas were the lead-
ers and the market was cleaned early.
The day was ideal, as also were the
previous days, which made the work
handier for the vase and pot business.
The earliness of the season brought out
all the work at once, but this gives the
advantage of a longer season.

Various Notes.

The local trade was much surprised
last week by the announcement that
Miss Rachel M. Rebstock-^had been
married to Capt. Johnson. Miss Reb-
stock has been connected with the
florists' business in Buffalo for a good
many years and during the latter part
of the time has been in business for
herself. She has attained wonderful
success and has one of the largest
retail businesses in Buffalo.

The regular meeting of the Florists'
Club will be held this week, to discuss
the flower show for the fall season.

sweet peas in twenty varieties, and
received a cultural commendation. A
similar award went to L. Melliot for
some fine gloxinias.

The next meeting, July 7, will have a
social character. W. Macdonald, T.

them especially adapted to the successful growth of plants.

Our factory is equipped with new and up-to-date machinery. Our capacity is greater and our ware-
house full o^ stock. We are ready to give all orders prompt attention. Give us your order and we will

TORONTO.

The Market.

June has opened with more than
the usual rush of business. Weddings
have been numerous and stock has been
in big demand. There have been a few
large affairs and several of the florists
have received big orders. Eoses are
quite plentiful. Killarney is holding
up well in spite of the hot weather.
Richmond is quite good, but Bride
and Maid are inclined to be poor. Car-
nations are commencing to get small.
A few lilies are still coming on the
market and these are eagerly sought
for design work. Funeral work has
been quite plentiful. Sweet peas short-
ened up during the hot weather, but
two or three days of cooler weather
brought them on again. Some fine or-
chids are seen in the various stores.

Various Notes.

S. A. Frost has disposed of nearly
all of his importation of boxwood and
bay trees. In the last shipment he re-
ceived some blue spruce and some fine
magnolias. These sold well and brought
a good price.

J. H. Dunlop and Wm. Fendley, of
Brampton, are sending some fine sweet
peas on the market.

Grobba & Wandrey, of Mimico, have
a big crop of peonies. The cut is just
now coming on the market in quantity.

Charles Turp, Sr., of J. H. Dunlop 's,
is lying ill at his home on Bloor street.
Geo. Sewell, who has been in England
for the last five years, is again with
Mr. Dunlop.

S. Tidy motored to St. Catharines
June 4, returning on Monday. Had a
fine trip, onlv the roads were muddy.

WESTERLY, E. I.

The Market.

If business continues as active as it
■was for the first week of the month
of weddings, it will certainly make the
local florists happy. Eoses were never
better than at present. Maid and
Bride seem to be the favorites. The
outdoor stock is coming along in fine
shape. Lilacs are gone. There is still
a good amount of funeral work. Deco-
ration day business, on the whole, was
highly satisfactory.

Various Notes.

The Westerly Burial Co. did a fine
Decoration day business in cut flowers
and potted plants. They also had
some fine hydrangeas for sale.

S. J. Eeuter & Son were certainly
rushed. Besides supplying their regu-
lar trade, they sent large shipments to
Boston and New London. They have
stores in both of these cities.

Victor Schousboe, formerly employed
by S. J. Renter & Son, is about to erect
a large greenhouse on Beach street.
During the last winter he grew valley.

Conrad Schultz had a heavy business
on Decoration day and for several days
before, in both retailing and whole-
saling. He has been shipping fine car-
nations to New York. B.

KALISPEIJi, MONT.

Memorial day cleaned out stock in
this town, and the rapidly increasing
population in the Flathead valley will
undoubtedly keep local florists busy
for all time. Kalispell Gardens with-
stood the onslaught for some days, but
had to admit defeat, and even this
firm's big stock of plants looked sad
when the rush was over.

A joke is told at the expense of the
Kalispell Gardens, although their stock
was quite above reproach. A boy,
looking at the Narcissus poeticus in
the Gardens' retail window, remarked
to his mate: "Gee! They're pickin'
potato flowers and sellin' 'em!"

The Weekly Florists' Reviewt

JtJNE 8, 1911.

MEBIDEN, CONN.

The Market.

Business for Decoration day was
great and all dealers were well satis-
fied. Stock was none too plentiful, as
there were not many outdoor flowers.
Peonies sold well. Carnations were
also disposed of without any trouble,
as the price was reasonable. Many
bouquets of mixed flowers were sold.
Cheap flowers were in great demand, aa
is usual at this time. Window and
veranda boxes are again coming into
favor and considerable work of this
kind is being done. This, with the
June weddings and some funeral work,
made the week a good one for the flo-
rists.

Various Notes.

John Bonell was kept busy during
the Memorial day rush, getting rid of
all his fine stock of plants.

The Blatchley Co. had a handsome
window display of bedding plants last
week.

R. W. Barrow did a big business in
cut flowers and design work.

Joseph Greenbacker and his force
of men were kept busy making bou-
quets, which were quickly taken.

William Woodley did a fine business
in bedding plants. He had a large
stock of plants and .had no trouble in
getting rid of them. B.

TEENTON, N. J.

. The Park Floral Co., of this city, had
a week or so of strenuous business in
connection with Decoration day and
part of the work was somewhat unique
in character. They received from the
memorial committee of the G. A. R. an
order for 2,000 small floral wreaths, to
be made from natural flowers, and to
be used in decorating the soldiers'
graves. Seven-inch wire frames were
selected for the purpose. These were
mossed and tin-foiled and then covered
with arbor-yitse for greens. The flow-
ers used were snowballs, weigelia, iris,
roses, etc. The wreaths, though not
expensive, were artistic in appearance
and served the purpose well.

In making the wreaths, only inexpe-
rienced help was employed, but the or-
der was executed on time and in a
manner that was highly satisfactory to
the committee. The board of freehold-
ers of the county makes the appropria-
tion to the committee of the 6. A. R.,
to furnish flowers for the occasion.

Charles Moebius, West Toledo, Ohio, writes us:

" We find the Skinner System the best labor saving device we
have on the place, and in fact we could not do without it. It will
water the ground evenly and will not pake the soil. We think the
man away out of date that uses a hose, as he will not be able to grow
such fine stuff without your watering device."

The Exhibition.

The eighth annual meeting and exhi-
bition of the American Peony Society
was held in Horticultural hall, Phila-
delphia, June 8 and 9. The exhibition
■was the largest in point of number oi.
flowers and number of varieties in the
history of the society. Over 300 varie-
ties were staged. This is most encour-
aging to peony lovers, because the un-
favorable season, the extremely hot
■weather accompanied by drought that
prevailed all over the country during
May, and the heavy rains immediately
preceding the date of the exhibition
■were disastrous, preventing many ex-
hibitors from sending flowers and in-
terfering greatly with the exhibits of
others. Under these circumstances the
exhibition was little short of remarka-
ble, covering the lower hall, the stair-
way and the balconies. The art exhi-
bition held in connection with the show
was in the main hall.

Credit for the success of the show
is due to the out-of-town exhibitors,

particularly to E. A. Eeeves, of Cleve-
land, who had the largest exhibit. His
flowers were well packed and arrived
in excellent condition. In the exhibit
were a number of rare varieties. Time
of cutting and distance considered, this
exhibit was the best.

Bertrand H. Farr, Beading, Pa., and
the Cottage Gardens, Queens, N. Y., in
their exhibits brought together one of
the best collections of rare varieties
that has ever been exhibited in this
country. Mr. Farr exhibited 178 varie-
ties and the Cottage Gardens over 200,
these being shown one flower of a va-
riety. In the collection of the Cottage
Gardens the following varieties were of
special merit: Victor Hugo, a full built
deep red; Vulcan, another red of great
merit, and Neomie Demay, pale rose
pink. In the Farr exhibit a bloom
which attracted the attention of all
the peony growers was Stanley, a pale
flesh rose of large size and of great
substance and fragrance. Mr. Farr re-
ceived a prize for the best new Ameri-
can seedling. It is named Carl Eosen-
field. Mr. Farr fully endorses the de-
scription given to this variety by the
originator, Eosenfield, and states fur-
ther that of all his reds this is the best
built, strongest grower, and is superior
to anything he has seen; it is a won-
derfully good keeper as a cut flower.

The exhibit of George H. Peterson,
of Fair Lawn, N. J., was not at its
best by reason of the season being so
late. Mr. Peterson was obliged to cut
everything in tight buds and then, be-
cause of the cool Philadelphia weather.

the flowers did not open to their best.
The exhibit comprised a large number
of good varieties.

The Andorra Nurseries, Chestnut Hill,
made a comprehensive exhibit for ex-
hibition only, showing many fine va-
rieties in as good form as possible coii-
sidering the rain.

John Lewis Childs, Floral Park, N.
Y., made an effective exhibit .of fine
gladioli and yellow calla lilies that
was particularly* well staged.

Henry A. Dreer had a beautiful ex-
hibit of 124 different varieties of hy-
brid tea roses, grown at the trial
grounds at Riverton. This exhibit at-
tracted much attention,

Hoopes, Brother & Thomas, "West
Chester, Pa., had a pretty exhibit of
outdoor roses.

S. G. Harris, Tarrytown, N. Y., and
Thomas Meehan & Sons, Germantown,
Pa., exhibited fine vases of peonies.
The latter firm also exhibited ever-
greens.

The art exhibition was a novelty. It
originated in the fertile brain of S.
Mendelson Meehan and has, Mr. Mee-
han says, never been tried before, either
in Europe or in this country. The idea
is to enlarge the field of the peony by
interesting lovers of art. It was car-
ried out by offering prizes to the stu-
dents in the art schools, the competi-
tion to be held in connection with the
peony show. There were twenty-three
exhibits, all of them showing ability
in oil and water colors that gave the
expert judges trouble to decide the
prizes.

The Business Session.

The annual meeting of the American

Peony Society was held in the lecture

room of Horticultural hall at 10:30 a.

tn., Friday, June 9, President Bertrand

H. Farr in the chair. The secretary's

report was read by W. Thurlow, in the

absence of A. H. Fewkes, and showed a

membership of sixty-three, divided as

follows :

Sew York 18 Iowa 2

Pennsylvania 8 Illinois 6

Massachusetts 12 Missouri 2

New Jersey 2 Minnesota 1

Ohio 7 Nebraska 2

Canada 2 Michigan 1

Maine 1

Also five honorary members.

George Hollis, a charter member, was
<?ulogized, Mr. Fewkes stating that his
death was a serious loss.

Mr. Thurlow read the treasurer's re-
port, as follows:

Balance from last report $300.96

Receipts this year 312.60

Total;

$613.56

Expenditures this year |215.77

Balance 397.79

Total $613.56

After President Bertrand H. Farr had
read his address, published elsewhere
in this issue, a letter was read from
Prof. John Craig, of Cornell University,
who is in charge of the nomenclature
of the peony, stating that he was un-
'able to be present because of the ill-
ness of Mrs. Craig. In reply to the re-
quest for the art committee's report,
Mr. Humphreys said that the pictures
were painted especially for this pre-
mium and that the judges, five of the
best Philadelphia artists, found it hard
to decide, so keen was the competition.
One of the art judges, by the way, is

a near relative of Jackson Dawson, of
the Arnold Arboretum, Boston.

It was proposed that the American
Peony Society work in connection with
the various local sh9W8 in order to
bring out and properly judge the peo-
nies in different sections of the coun-
try, because of the impossibility of
getting peonies from all sections of the
country into one great show, owing to
varying weather conditions. Ithaca, N.
y., was selected as the meeting place
for 1912. The society has for a num-
ber of years been working on the peony
question at Cornell University, where
it has a collection of 2,000 varieties.
It had been hoped to have an exhibit
from this collection, but as the Cornell
season is from three to four weeks
later than at Philadelphia, only a few
varieties were fit to send. Among these
were James Kelway, one of Kelway's
introductions, wrongly known as Lady
Alexander Duff, and Martin Cahuzac,
a deep bronzy red. The blooms of
Cahuzac are said by the growers to be
the finest they had ever seen.

A letter was read from A. H. Fewkes,
Newton Highlands, Mass., declining re-
nomination as secretary. This was ac-
cepted with regret, as the work of Mr.
Fewkes has been of great value to the
society.

A vote of thanks was passed to the
Pgwreylvania Horticultural Society for
"tne use of Horticultural hall, and to
David Bust for the many courtesies
shown the exhibitors and members. Mr.
Bust said that it was a pleasure to do
all he could for the members of the
Peony Society and that the members
of the Horticultural Society were hap-
py to have them there.

After the adjournment of the meet-
ing many of the members went out to
the Andorra Nurseries as the guest of
J. H. Humphreys, where a pleasant af-
ternoon was spent on the banks of the
picturesque Wissahickon.

PRESIDENT FABS'S ABDBBSS.

[Deliveied at' the annual meeting of the
American Peony Society, in Horticultural
hall, Philadelphia, June 8 and 9, 1911.]

The passing of another year marks
the ninth in the history of the Ameri-
can Peony Society, and it is gratifying
to see again so many faces that have
become familiar from having met them
as regular attendants at so many for-
mer meetings. This loyalty of the
older members, the steady increase in
membership of the society and the
interest taken in the present ezhibi'
tion are encouraging evidences of the
continued popularity of the peony and
of the enthusiasm which still animates
the members of its society. Though
but a handful in numbers, you are to
be congratulated on the success which
has so far attended your efforts, for
the solution of the problem of peony
nomenclature is so vast and difficult
an undertaking that it would not have
been surprising had the work ended in
failure.

That such is not the case is due to
the perseverance and determination of
the members of the society, aided by
the efficient support given by the au-
thorities of Cornell University and the
generous contribution of plants from
the most prominent growers in this
country and in Europe. Small as our
membership is, it is doubtful whether
any similar society has ever conceived,
carried out and concluded an operation
of this kind on anything like as com-
plete and comprehensive a scale as the
peony test at Cornell.

bulletins have been published in addi-
tion to the preliminary check list, and
a third is now ready for the printer,
covering the work accomplished to
date. The first bulletin, prepared by
Dr. J. Elliott Coit, contains a history
of the peony, notes on cultivation, etc.,
and the preliminary work of nomen-
clature, with a description of some
fifty varieties. The second bulletin,
known as No. 278, covers the work of
the special committee in 1909, when
the principal work of identifying the
vast collection in the Cornell plots,
consisting of 1,933 lots under approxi-
mately 1,000 names, was seriously be-
gun. Descriptions in detail were taken
of 235 varieties, besides revising the
descriptions of the fifty varieties of
the previous bulletin, which were
taken before the plants were mature,
and it was found necessary to alter
the descriptions in many cases after
seeing the mature plants, making alto-
gether 285 varieties of which descrip-
tions were published up to 1910.

In the year 1910, 285 additional va-
rieties were identified and described,
together with fifty-five synonyms; also
a list of 100 best varieties for cut
flower purposes and 100 best varieties
for landscape eflfficts was added, all
this to be comprised in the next bul-
letin, soon to be printed, making alto-
gether about 570 varieties that have
been described in every detail of foli-
age, habit of growth, fragrance, value
commercially, and accurate records
taken of the colors as compared with
the color chart of the French Chrys-
anthemum Society, which has been
adopted as the official color chart of
the American Peony Society.

Elimination of Synonyms.

A large number of names appearing
in the Cornell plots cannot be traced
to any authentic origin and are un-

doubtedly, in most instances, old va-
rieties renamed. A still larger number
were recognized as synonyms of well-
known varieties, such kinds as P.
edulis superba, Whitleyi, fragrans, etc.,
appearing under as many as twenty-
five to thirty different names each.
After eliminating all of these syno-
nyms, there are probably not more
than 400 or 500 distinct varieties in
the Cornell plots, excluding Mr. Hollis'
collection of upward of 100 seedlings
which have been named, and a collec-
tion of seedlings under number from
Goos & Koenemann. It will be seen
at once, therefore, how thoroughly
this committee has covered this field
with the upward of 600 varieties that
have been described — more varieties,
in fact, than are actually to be found
at Cornell. This is accounted for by
the fact that many well-known, authen-
tic varieties were not included in the
Cornell planting and the committee has
supplemented its work at Cornell by
visits to other large collections where
these additional varieties could be
found. Among the places visited by
the committee in 1910 were the peony
fields of Wyomissing, Andorra, Cottage
Gardens, Geo. E, Hollis, T. C. Thur-
low's Sons and E. J. Shaylor. The
few varieties still unidentified at
Cornell are mostly inferior sorts or
those of such obscure origin that iden-
tification is practically impossible.

The first collection at Cornell hav-
ing, therefore, served its purpose, steps
should be taken to bring this portion
of the test to a close and to dispose
of the plants, which, according to the
original agreement, belong to the so-
ciety, except three of each kind, which
are to belong to the university for a
permanent planting of established va-
rieties. This has already been accom-
plished, for three of all varieties de-
scribed in the original plot have been

planted in a new section and represent
the completed work and at the same
time the share of the peonies which are
to belong to CornelL

A Hundred Commercial Varieties.

In addition to the original planting,
there is another later one, consisting
of a series of collections from a num-
ber of growers of their best varieties,
for the purpose of determining by com-
parison the varieties best adapted for
commercial use and for landscape work,
and then compiling a list of 100 of
the best varieties for these uses. Ac-
cording to agreement, these plants are
to be eventually returned to their
original owners. They have reached
full development and from them the
committee has prepared a tentative
list of 100 varieties, to be submitted to
the society for discussion and approval.

Under the circumstances, it would
seem as if Ithaca would be the logical
place for the society to hold its next
business meeting, as by that time the
new lots will have reached perfection
and members may then have an oppor-
tunity of seeing and judging the
completed work of the committee.
Whether it would be advisable to hold
a competitive exhibition there at the
same time, or to depend for an exhibit
on the flowers from the Cornell plots,
is a matter to be considered. A sug-
gestion has been made that it might be
well to exhibit in several places next
year, selecting points east, west, north
and south, so that all members might
have an opportunity to exhibit at a
point easily accessible and within their
latitude.

Time and Place of Meeting.

Our experience in Philadelphia this
year shows the futility of attempting
to arrange a date to accommodate a
latitude different from that in which

After President Bertrand H. Farr had
read his address, published elsewhere
in this issue, a letter was read from
Prof. John Craig, of Cornell University,
who is in charge of the nomenclature
of the peony, stating that he was un-
able to be present l)ecause of the ill-
ness of Mrs. Craig. In rei)ly to the re-
i^uest for the art committee's report,
Mr. Humphreys said that the pictures
were painted especially for this pre-
mium and that the judges, five of the
best Philadelphia artists, found it hard
to decide, so keen was the competition.
One of the art judges, by the way, is

a near relative of Jackson Dawson, of
the Arnold Arboretum, Boston.

It was proposed that the American
Peony Society work in connection with
the various local shpws in order to
bring out and properly judge the peo-
nies in different sections of the coun-
try, because of the impossibility of
getting peonies from all sections of the
country into one great show, owing to
varying weather conditions. Ithaca, N.
Y., was selected as the meeting place
for 1912. The society has for a num-
ber of years been working on the peony
question at Cornell University, where
it has a collection of 2,000 varieties.
It had been hoped to have an exhibit
from this collection, but as the Cornell
season is from three to four weeks
later than at Philadelphia, only a few
varieties were fit to send. Among these
were James Kelway, one of Kelway 's
introductions, wrongly known as Lady
Alexander Duff, and Martin Cahuzac,
a deep bronzy red. The blooms of
Cahuzac are said by the growers to be
the finest they had ever seen.

A letter was read from A. H. Fewkes,
Newton Highlands, Mass., declining re-
nomination as secretary. This was ac-
cepted with regret, as the work of Mr.
Fewkes has been of great value to the
society.

A vote of thanks was passed to the
Pennsylvania Horticultural Society for
the use of Horticultural hall, and to
David Eust for the many courtesies
shown the exhibitors and members. Mr.
Rust said that it was a pleasure to do
all he could for the members of the
Peony Society and that the members
of the Horticultural Society were hap-
py to have them there.

After the adjournment Of the meet-
ing many of the members went out to
the Andorra Nurseries as the guest of
J. H. Humphreys, where a pleasant af-
ternoon was spent on the banks of the
picturesque Wissahickon.

easy, being merely to have the oppor-

remaining varieties, which, being of

Bertrand H. Farrj

(Prreident American Peony Society.)

dented weather conditions are largely
at fault this year, but the fact re-
mains that the season for our local
growers is so nearly over that it is
difficult for them to show any but their
latest varieties. That we are able to
have so good a display is due to the
energy and enthusiasm of exhibitors
from a distance, to whom we are
greatly indebted for their contribution
to the success of this exhibition.

Begarding the future work of the
society, much remains to be accom-
plished. There are still many varieties
that are well known and in commerce,
especially among the later introduc-
tions, that it is desirable to add to our

later origin, are not difficult to idei\-
tify, and we are assisted in the re-
maining part of the work by the long
list of varieties we now have, which
serve as a key for comparison and
make the remaining task comparatively
simple.

Publication of a Peony Manual.

The next great work which the so-
ciety, in my opinion, should lend its
efforts toward is the publishing of a
peony manual, which should be the
final revision of all the work hereto-
fore accomplished and which should
stand as the official manual or cata-
logue of the American Peony Society.

The publishing of^ this work should, in
my opinion, be done by the society
and, when completed, can be made a
valuable work that will find a ready
sale, sufficient, eventually, to repay
the cost of publication. The cost of
such a work will be considerable and
•it should not be undertaken until the
present work has withstood the test
of criticism and all possible corrections
have been made, and until the finances
of the society are in a condition to
carry out the pro.iect.

It was with some such thought in
mind that a number of the members,
in going over the matter, volunteered
to make contributions toward the pre-
mium list this year, which would save^
to some extent, the depletion of the
treasury of the society, which has
necessarily followed each year the of-
fering of a long premium list by the
society and which had to be made up
from the small income derived from
the annual dues of its few members.
When this matter was mentioned to
others, a generous response tvas made
and the society has reason to feel
grateful to those who have so gener-
ously assisted in raising the premium
fund this year, as by so doing they
have helped greatly toward the ful-
fillment of the ultimate end in view.

HAIL.

[A paper by John G. Eslor, secretary of the
Florists' Hall Association, Saddle Rlrer, N. J.,
read before the New York Florists' Club, June 12,

loll* J

What General Sherman said of war
applies as well to hail. A few weeks
ago I visited St. Louis and saw some
of the disaster caused by the storm of
April 13. A breakage of over 37,000
square feet of glass, nearly all double-
thick, out of 50,000 square feet in one
range, will give you some idea of what
hail can do when it gets busy.

This storm was three miles wide by
forty miles long and broke seventy-five
per cent of the glass in the fifty or
more greenhouses in its path, and the
Florists' Hail Association paid for
nearly all of the loss without a quiver.

As to the formation of hail, nearly
every scientist has a theory all his own,
but in my estimation they have about
as much evidence to convince the man
from Missouri as have the various gen-
tlemen who describe the golden streets
of the New Jerusalem, that their guess
is correct.

It would tire you to enumerate the
freaks of hail storms, but suffice it to
say that the storm that does the most
damage is the one that has wind enough

to carry the stones so that they hit the
^lass at right angles.

Impractical Protective Devices.

Various devices for protection have
been tried, but nearly all have proved
either too costly or too cumbersome to
be practical, and hail insurance still re-
mains the best and easiest way for the
person who owns a glass house to recoup
himself for damage by hail. Therefore
it will not be irrelevant to say a word
or two about the mutual benefit con-
ferred by the Florists' Hail Association
•of America.

It is nearly twenty-five years since
the 8. A. F. christened the Florists'
Hail Association and placed the infant
upon its doorstep, with the admonition
to go forth into the world and be a
good Samaritan, but on no account to
come back and trouble its dad. June 1,
1887, the state of New Jersey adopted
the orphan, and for twenty-four years
it has gathered experience, in which
this fact has been developed, that a
anajority of the owners of glass are
much more interested in hail insurance
after than before a hail storm.

Economical Management.
Since the day of its incorporation
this association has never paid a dollar
for attorneys' fees, notwithstanding
the fact that up to date over $213,000
"has been disbursed to its members for
glass broken by hail. Likewise it has
never paid a single cent for office rent,
fuel or light, for its officials. And
here comes our loudest whoop: Not
a dime has been paid to an agent for
commissions. We sell our insurance
■direct. "We employ no agents. We do
business only in the state of New
Jersey, and are not amenable to any
other state. He who wishes to come,
or rather send, to New Jersey for hail

insurance can procure the same with-
out any rake-off to anyone.

Eeformers take notice, and when you
plan to eliminate the middleman think
of the F. H. A. as one organization-
that has wiped that individual off the
slate.

By prompt payment, of losses and
straightforward dealing, the F. H. A.
has won an enviable place in the in-
surance world, and with its 1,600 mem-
bers, insuring over 35,000,000 square
feet of glass, and a reserve fund of
over $25,000 for a backbone, it can
afford to sit quietly by and wait until
a hail storm drives the uninsured into
its fold.

In conclusion, allow me to advise:
Don't shingle your greenhouse with
single-thick glass, and "be sure to
lock the door before the horse is
stolen."

ADVEETISINQ.

[Extracts from a talk by L. W. C. Tuthlll. of
the Tuthlll Ad Agency, before the New York
Florists' Club, June 12, 1911.]

Your good committee man, Shaw, is
to blame for this!

Honest Injun, cross-my-heart, I am
guiltless.

Take it out on him, and jolly me
along; for Ad men are a thin-skinned,
sensitive lot.

Their business makes them so.

They have to tell the truth.

That is, if they want to stay in busi-
ness.

Hot Air Never Pajrs for Long.

Three years ago a boiler man blew
into our office and said he had some
money to spend, telling the good, dear
public that his boiler was the best on
earth, a world-beater, a nine-day won-
der, and all that sort of bombast.

After a couple of hours' talk we told
him we would take his account under

one condition; and that was that he
send, at his own expense, one of his
wonder boilers to my home in the coun-
try, and install it. Then I would give
it a month 's test of every conceivable
kind. If the boiler panned out as he
claimed, we would frame up the ads
accordingly. If it didn't, we would
tell exactly what it would do — and no
more.

Did he stand for it?

He certainly did not.

Why?

Because he knew his boiler would
not stand up to his extravagant claims.
And he knew we knew it.

Still he thought his exaggerations on
paper would sell his boiler.

He thought that was what one was
licensed to do in an ad.

He went to another agency and
placed the business with them. For
two years they have been running "hot
air" ads of the most virulent type.

Yesterday that same man walked into
the office and said his company is now
ready to do business with us, based on
our original proposal.

The "hot air" hadn't paid.

This incident illustrates in a nutshell
the advertising situation of today.

Exaggerations must go.

The truth, only, pays.

All Real Advertising Truthful.

Last week I was standing on the
corner of Twenty-eighth street, talking
to one of our prosperous commission
men, when one of the "has beens"
passed along.

I remarked: "Brown isn't the man he
used to be, is he?"

To which our friend replied: "No,
and he never was."

Advertising, real advertising, never
was anything but telling the truth.

It never was a mystic something, into

dented Avcather conditions are largely
at fault this year, but the fact re-
mains that the season for our local
growers is so nearly over that it is
diOicult for them to show any but their
latest varieties. That we are able to
have so good a display is due to the
energy and enthusiasm of exhibitors
from a distance, to whom wc arc
greatly indebted for their contribution
to the success of this exhibition.

Regarding the future work of the
society, much remains to be accoin

list of varieties we now have, which

Publication of a Peony Manual.

The next great work which the so-
ciety, in my ojiinion, should lend its
ell'orts tow;ird is the i)ublishing of a
jK'ony nuinual, which should be the
iinal revision of all the work hereto-
fore accoiri|dished and which should
stand as the ollicial manual or cata-
logue of the American I'eony Society.

The publishing of this work should, in
my opinion, be done by the society
and, when completed, can be made a
valuable work that will find a ready
sale, sufficient, eventually, to repay
the cost of publication. The cost of
such a Avork will be considerable and
•it should not be undertaken until the
present work has withstood the test
of criticism and all ])ossible corrections
have been made, and until the finances
of the society are in a condition to
carry out the project.

It was with some such thought in
mind that a number of the members^
in going over the matter, volunteered
to make contributions toward the pre-
mium list this year, which would save,
to some extent, the depletion of the
treasury of the society, which has
necessarily followed each year the of-
fering of a long premium list by the
society and which had to be made up
from the small income derived from
the annual dues of its few members.
When this matter was mentioned to
others, a generous response was made
and the society has reason to feel
grateful to those who have so gener-
ously assisted in raising the premium
fund this year, as by so doing they
have helped greatly toward the ful-
fillment of the ultimate end in view.

HAIL.

[A p.Tpcr by .Tolin O. Kslcr. secretary of the
Floiists' Iliiil Assciciiition, Saddle Itiver. N. J.,
road before tlie New York Florists' Club, June 12,
1911.]

What General Sherman said of war
applies as well to hail. A few weeks
ago I visited St. Louis and saw some
of the disaster caused by the storm of
Ai)ril 13. A breakage of over .*?7,000
sfjuare feet of glass, nearly all double-
thick, out of r)(i,(iOO square feet in one
range, will give you some idea of what
hail can do when it gets busy.

This storm was three miles wide by
forty miles long and broke seventy-five
per cent of the glass in the fifty or
more greenhouses in its path, and the
Florists' Hail Association paid for
nearly all of the loss without a quiver.

As to the formation of hail, nearly
every scientist has a theory all his own,
but iu my estimation they have about
as much evidence to convince the man
from Missouri as liave the various gen-
tlemen Avho describe the golden streets
of tlie New Jerusalem, that their guess
is correct.

It would tire you to enumerate the
freaks of hail storms, but suflice it to
say that the storm that does the most
damage is the one that has wind enough

to carry the stones so that they hit the
-glass at right angles.

Impractical Protective Devices.

Various de\it'es for jirotet'tioii have
been tried, but nearly all have proved
either too costly or too cumbersome to
be practical, and hail insurance still re-
mains the best and easiest way for the
person ■vvho owns a glass house to recoup
himself for damage by hail. Therefore
it will not be irrelevant to say a word
or two about the mutual benefit con-
ferred by the Florists' Hail Association
of America.

It is nearly twenty-five years since
the S. A. F. christened the Florists'
Hail Association and placed the infant
upon its doorstc]), with the admonition
to go forth into the world and bo a
good Samaritan, but on no account to
come back and trouble its dad. June 1,
1887, the state of New .Jersey adopted
the orphan, and for twenty-four years
it has gathered (>xperience, in which
this fact has been developed, that a
majority of the owners of glass are
much more interested in hail insurance
after than before a hail storm.

Economical Management.

Since the day of its incorporation
this association has never paid a dollar
for attornevs' fees, notwithstanding
the fact that up to date over $2i:},000
has been disbursed to its members for
glass broken by hail. Likewise it has
never paid a single cent for office rent,
fuel or light, for its ollicials. And
here comes our loudest whoop: Not
a dime has been paid to an agent for
commissions. We sell our insurance
direct. "We employ no agents. We do
business only in the state of New
Jersey, and are not amenable to any
other state, lie who wishes to come,
•or rather send, to New Jersey for hail

insurance can i)rocure the same with-
out any rake off to anyone.

Reformers take notice, and when you
plan to eliminate the middleman think
of the F. II. A. as one organization
that has wiped that individual off the
slate.

By prompt payment of losses and
straightforward dealing, the F. II. A.
has won an enviable i>lace in the in-
surance world, and with its 1,()0() mem-
bers, insuring over G-ljOOC^OOO scpiare
feet of glass, and a reserve fuml of
over $2."), (100 for a bacldtone, it can
afford to sit (|uietly by an<I wait until
a hail storm drives the uninsured into
its fold.

In conclusion, allow me to advise:
Don't shingle your greenhouse with
single-thick glass, and ''be sure to
lock the door before the horse is
stolen.' '

accordingly. If it didn't, we would

I remarked: "Brown isn't the man ho

To which our friend replied: "No,

the hopper of which we could pour a
few plugged dollars, and get a bag of
golden coins at the other end.

It never was a gamble.

But it is the biggest, strongest fac-
tor in business today.

Next to money, it is the most essen-
tial.

Science records things, but advertis-
ing makes things live.

Elbert Hubbard, in one of his recent
preachments on "The Bed Blood in
Advertising," says: "The reputation
that endures, or the institution that
lasts, is the one that is properly adver-
tised." Also: "All literature is ad-
vertising, and all genuine advertising
is literature."

And Hubbard ought to know, for he
doubtless does more successful adver-
tising, both personal and otherwise,
than any other one man in the country.

Everybody His Own Ad Doctor.

The peculiar thing about advertising
is that pretty much everyone thinks he
knows just how it ought to be done.
If you and I were to start in the busi-
ness of growing roses, the firsl thing
we would do would be to get a good
foreman — a man who thoroughly under-
stood roses and how to grow them.

If we want an automobile we don't
go to a blacksmith — but if we want to
do some advertising, then that's dif-
ferent— we can do that ourselves.
That's easy!

Or we ask some friend who is free
with his pen, to get up something
snappy.

"What happens!

In the first place, the man who owns
a business is generally so near his busi-
ness that he can't see it. He has lost
the sense of how the other fellow — the
fellow he wants to land — looks at his
proposition from the outside. So he
starts off with his wonderful ad with
the usual extravagant claims, and says:

My rose Is the only rose for you to grow this
season. It has 49 petals to every bloom, against
42 3/16 of its nearest competitor.

Get in line.

First come, first serred.

Don't delay! Send your order today!

If they are good enongb for James Birnie, they
are good enougii for you. Oreatest money-maker
of the season. Order now!

Now, every word of that ad is true.

But what selling power has itf

What actual reasons has he given
why you should let loose your good
money for his blooming old rose?

Suppose he had told a frank story,

just like he would if talking directly to

a customer; suppose he had said:

Last season it was plain to be seen that the
public had grown tired of pink roses, and wanted
yellows.

That's why I am so happy: I have a yellow
that's going to be a winner — and it's a Killarney,
too.

It's an unusually free bloomer, has long stems
and a deep, rich green foliage.
Its Bilken-sbeened petals glow like geld.
Its buds ure big, solid, dependable ones that
ship splendidly and stay half open for a sur-
prisingly long time. Remember that last point —
It's a thing your commission man Is always
howling for.

I am going to sell 150,000 of my stock of
250,000 cuttings.

How many do you want?

Better step lively — you know that a new
Killarney always goes like wild fire.

Such an ad actually tells something
about the rose, its qualities, its superior
points;' it has some selling power.

In your opinion, which ad gets the
business f

Eschew Jokes; Use White Space.

On the other hand, your friend with
the easy pen writes the ad and feels
that it is of first importance to make
it funny. He says: "That is the thing
that attracts the public."

So you stand for a joke of the vin-
tage of 1812, and then lug in by the
nape of the neck your little business
story.

The result: The funny story seldom
is funny in advertising.

Everybody knows you get red in the
face to bring it in, and the ad, instead
of being a good, serious, earnest, busi-
ness appeal to men in business houses,
is more apt to be smiled at over the
cheese sandwich and beer.

Hit a business man at his business
in a business way. That's the way!

Now, just one word more:

When you buy space in a trade pa-
per, for heaven's sake don't fill it as
full as you can with text.

The Baltimore and W^ashiogton Lady Bowlen.

(Se« Baltimore News-letter, page 64.)

If your space is small, better tell one
thing, and tell it well, and leave plenty
of white space around the text. The
white space sets it off. Makes it look
interesting.

For example: Three or four roses in
a vase is a beautiful sight — each rose
presents its individuality, its grace. A
vase crowded full is just a vase of
roses — one grand big bunch, ft mass
that neither attracts nor impresses.

THE UOHTS AND SHADOWS OF

THE AUCTION BUSINESS.

[A paper by R. W. MacNifT, of the MacNlff
Horticultural Co., read before the New York Flo-
rists' Club, June 12.]

The auction business is as old as the
world. Adam bid one of his ribs for
the first lady ever known to be on the
market, and as there was no opposition,
he got her at his own offer. Now,
there must be two offers to make a sale
legitimate. If anyone else had been at
the first garden auction, he and old
Adam would be bidding yet.

Imagine such a valuable flower as
Eve being advertised for sale next
Tuesday or Friday! Madison Square
Garden wouldn't hold the crowd of
florists.

The devil, in the form of a snake,
made a bid of some apple trees for
Eve, but she was knocked down before
he caught the eye of the auctioneer.
So the horticultural auction business,
you perceive, has the merit of antiq-
uity.

My subject, however, deals with mod-
ern plant and flower auctions, and these
are full of lights and shadows. The
lights include the light prices obtained,
the limitless field that is developing,
the return of humanity to the farm,
and the consequent needs of the sub-
urbanite; the joy of being instrumental
in fostering a love for the beautiful;
the consciousness of sending out our
monuments in every direction, knowing
that the trees and plants we sell wiU
grow and blossom, and cheer with their •
perfume and beauty unborn' thousands
after we are safely planted under the
daisies.

Then, there is the joy of standing in
the limelight, mesmerizing, by voice
and persuasive smile, the multitude;
soaking the fresh guys or the wealthy
widows with something we see they
want no matter what the cost. These
are real lights that help to lighten our
burdens, and to dissipate the gloom in
our otherwise shadowy occupation.
There is the light of knowledge we ac-
quire every week — knowledge of plant
life, of new varieties, of insects and
insecticides, of the frailties of human-
ity— all most interesting to the inquir-
ing mind. Then, there is the velvet in
our business; 17% per cent on every
dollar's worth we sell, whether the
grower receives the cost of production
or not.

Only three or four hours' work a
day, and only two days' work a week,
the strengthening of our vocal chords,
fitting us later on for ministerial work
when the great profits of the auction
business inevitably draw too many en-
terprising opponents into the field!

Is it any wonder we grow fat and
our bank accounts increase and we ride
in autos, and life is one sweet songf

But there are two sides to everything
and everybody.

Listen to the shadows, and then re-
joice that you are now in the place
Providence intended you should fill;

and cease to envy the men who are
wasting their energies and nerves and
talents in your behalf.

The path of the auctioneer is not
strewn with roses. More likely dead
rose bushes with their thorns pierce his
weary feet.

His season is limited.

If he makes any money he must
crowd into weeks the labor that should
be spread over months of ordinary toil.
He must win and hold his growers
against falsehoods and unreasonable-
ness and misrepresentation — he must be
ready to give minutest details of every
transaction; he must create confidence
in foreign exporters whom he has never
seen, and he must be financially strong
enough to meet promptly every demand
of his shippers.

All these clouds must have silver
linings, or shadowy indeed is the out-
look otherwise.

He must have a deep knowledge of
human nature, a memory so keen that
he never forgets a face or name, and
tact and patience that preserve a smil-
ing countenance when his heart is
bursting with cuss words and justifia-
ble indignation.

All these shadows must be seen and
blown away before success is even pos-
sible.

The auctioneer must keep his tem-
per, and, in a word, become all things
to all men, if he would win them. His
mind must be clear, his physical
strength unimpaired, his constitution of
iron. He must avoid artificial stimu-
lants, never descend to offensive repar-
tee, always give the retort courteous
no matter how his dignity may be im-
posed upon.

Now you know some of the shadows

that hover over the auction business,
and' there are many others.

There is the late season, with spring
lingering long in the lap of winter;
the long drought, the late or early
Easters, the raissent shipments, the
express overcharges, the tinwatered
plants, the careless handling by rail-
road ignoramuses. Then come the long
office hours, the burning of the mid-
night oil, the innumerable details, the
unavoidable mistakes, the impatient
shippers, the slow collections, the be-
trayal of confidences, the carelessness
of employees,

Weill Now you have both sides of
the burning subject. Aren't you glad
you are not a horticultural auctioneer?

FEATUBma THE BEDDmO.

With bedding out a large item in
the spring work of many florists who
run retail stores, it is strange that so
few push this department of the busi-
ness— the average florist waits for the
orders to seek him out. George Bouch-
er, however, has found it worth while
to feature his facilities for doing bed-
ding; Kochester people spend a lot of
money for the planting of flower beds
and they quickly respond to any rea-
sonable effort to secure their orders.
Mr. Boucher has a big window in his
downtown store and in the bedding sea-
son has found it a means of selling
bedding stock, just as at other times
he finds it a means of interesting the
people who pass in the flowers of the
day. The accompanying illustration is
prepared from a photograph made in
May, showing one of Mr. Boucher's
bedding stock window displays. The
floor of the window is covered with
green moss, making an admirable rep-
resentation of a lawn, with miniature

flower beds.

Will you name some winter-bloom-
ing plants that I can use in a window
boxt C. A. W.

If you want plants which will flower
for a considerable time, the begonias
are unexcelled. Fibrous varieties of
the Vernon and Erfordii type will
flower all winter. The popular Gloire
de Lorraine will also bloom a long time.
These and, in fact, nearly all winter-
flowering plants will do better kept in
pots, rather than planted directly in
the boxes. Among other satisfactory
plants are Primula obconica, and P.
Sinensis. These are better if kept
moderately cool, and if carefully tend-
ed they will flower the greater part
of the winter. Bulbous plants, such as
tulips, narcissi, etc., may be used, but
of course they require more frequent
changing. Zonal geraniums are beau-
tiful and flower persistently in the cold
months, if not subjected to a higher
night temperature than 55 degrees.
Cyclamens are charming plants, whose
flowers can be depended on for two
months if they are not kept too warm.
With good light, careful ventilation and
watering and a night temperature not
too high, any of the foregoing plants
should prove satisfactory. C. W.

Window of Bedding Plants by George T. Boucher, Rochester, N. Y.

and cease to envy the men who are
wasting their energies and nerves and
talents in your behalf.

The path of the auctioneer is not
strewn with roses. More likely dead
rose bushes with their thorns pierce his
weary feet.

His season is limited.

If he makes any money ho must
crowd into weeks the labor that should
be spread over months of ordinary toil.
He must win and hold his growers
against falsehoods and unreasonable-
ness and misrepresentation — he must be
ready to give minutest details of every
transaction; he must create confidence
in foreign exporters whom he has never
seen, and he must be financially strong
enough to meet promptly every demand
of his shippers.

All these clouds must have silver
linings, or shadowy indeed is the out-
look otherwise.

He must have a deep knowledge of
human nature, a memory so keen that
he never forgets a face or name, and
tact and patience that preserve a smil-
ing countenance when his heart is
bursting with cuss words and justifia-
ble indignation.

All these shadows must be seen and
blown away before success is even pos-
sible.

The auctioneer must keep his tem-
per, and, in a word, become all things
to all men, if he would win them. His
mind must be clear, his physical
strength unimpaired, his constitution of
iron. He must avoid artificial stimu-
lants, never descend to offensive repar-
tee, always give the retort courteous
no matter how his dignity may be im-
posed upon.

Now 3'ou know some of the shadows

that hover over the auction business,
and there are many others.

There is the late season, with spring
lingering long in the lap of winte,-;
the long drought, the late or early
Easters, the misscnt shipmrnts, the
express overcharges, the unwatered
plants, the careless handling by rail-
road ignoramuses. Then come the long
office hours, the burning of the mid-
night oil, the innumerable details, the
unavoidable mistakes, the impatient
shippers, the slow collections, the be-
trayal of confidences, the carelessness
of emploj'ees.

Well! Now you have both sides of
the burning subject. Aren 't you glad
you are not a horticultural auctioneer .'

FEATURING THE BEDDING.

With l)odding out a large item in
the spring work of many fiorists who
run retail stores, it is strange that so
few push this department of the busi-
ness— the averaf,'e florist waits for the
orders to seek him out. Georj,'e Bouch-
er, however, has found it worth while
to feature his facilities for doing bed-
ding; Rochester people spend a lot of
itioney for the planting of flower beds
and they quickly respond to any rea-
sonable effort to secure their orders.
Mr. Boucher has a big window in his
downtown store and in the bedding sea-
son has found it a means of selling
bedding stock, just as at other times
he finds it a means of interesting the
people who pass in the flowers of the
day. The accompanying illustration is
prepared from a photograph made in
May, showing one of Mr. Boucher's
bedding stock window displays. The
floor of the window is covered with
green moss, making an admirable rep-
resentation of a lawn, with miniature

flower beds.

PLANTS FOR WINDOW BOX.

Will you name some winter-bloom-
ing plants that 1 can use in a window
box? C. A. W.

If you want jiLants which will flower
for a considerable time, the begonias
are unexcelled. Fibrous varieties of
the Vernon and Krfordii type will
flower all winter. Tlie popular Gloire
de Lorraine will also bloom a long time.
These and, in fact, nearly all winter
flowering plants will do better kept in
pots, rather than jjlanted directly in
the boxes. Among other satisfactory
plants are Primula oliconica aiid P.
Sinensis. These are better if kept
moderately cool, and if carefully tend-
ed they will ilower the <,'reater part
of the winter. Bulbous plants, such as
tulips, narcissi, etc., may be used, but
of course they re(iuipe more frequent
changing. Zonal geraniums are beau-
tiful and flower ])ersistently in the cold
months, if not subjected to a higher
night temperature than ."i.j degrees.
Cyclamens are charming plants, whose
flowers can be dt^jHMided on for twf>
months if they are not kept too warm.
With f^ood li<;ht, careful ventilation and
watering and a nij^ht temperature not
too high, any of the foregoing plants
should prove satisfactory. C. W.

Des Moines, la. — Plans are being
considered by Councilman J. W. Ash,
head of the department of parks and
public property, for the construction
of a new greenhouse at Union park.
He will ask the council to appropriate
$4,(100 for the purpose.

SEASONABLE

SUGGESTIONS

,'»^'»^.<<^.<^^.<»^.<»^.<»^.<»^.^^^'»^

Marguerites.

The flowering season for marguerites
will soon be over and some attention
must be given to plants for next win-
ter's flowering. Late propagated stock
is the best to carry over. The white
varieties can be headed back, potted
and plunged where they can be con-
veuiently watered, or planted outdoors.
The latter plan is generally favored,
as it entails less work and the plants
invariably lift well, but where an early
winter crop is wanted pot culture
through the summer is to be preferred.

The yellow varieties are less easily
carried over than the white ones. If
they can be given a coldframe with a
lath shading well elevated above them,
they will summer much better, using
the hose on them freely during the hot
weather.

Speaking of marguerites, everyone
snould try a few plants of the new
double sport of Queen Alexandra,
named Mrs. F. Sander. Many growers
think this is one of the best novelties
introduced in late years.

Smilaz.

It hardly pays to carry over smilax
from year to year, as often is done.
After June weddings are over, the call
for it is practically nil until Novem-
ber. Smilax need not have a light
house. It will do well where carna-
tions or mums would become spindling.
It wants solid beds, rather than
benches, and likes generous compost.
A foot between the rows and nine
inches between the plants will suffice.
Do not overwater at first, but keep
plenty of moisture in the atmosphere
and syringe the plants freely. Get
strings in position as soon after plant-
ing as possible, as once the growths get
entangled it is practically impossible
to separate them.

Beds which it is intended to carry
over should have a rest after the final
crop of strings is cut. Then remove
some of the surface soil and give a
liberal top-dressing. Be careful not to
overwater at first when starting them
up, as the roots are easily rotted when
they have no growths on them. Smilax
can be grown either cool or warm. It
does best and is most profitable when
grown warm and the strings, if allowed
to mature, keep just as well as those
grown cool.

Asparagus Sprengeri.

There are few crops grown by the
average florist which pay better than
Asparagus Sprengeri. Introduced by
the noted Italian firm of Dammann &
Co., in 1890, this has become one of
the most popular of plants for cutting,
and were it taken away there would
be a tremendous gap in our supplies
of greenery. Like the smilax, it is not
fussy about having a light house. Any
which will not grow good flowers may
answer well for Sprengeri, and it does

equally well in beds or benches. Such
soil as has been prepared for mums,
carnations or roses will suit Sprengeri
to a nicety, and it will pay any florist
to devote at least one bench to it.
Sometimes narrow boxes along the
edges of the benches are planted with
it, while in wire baskets hung where
it can have a little shade it makes a
splendid growth and, besides being
ornamental as a basket plant, it fur-
nishes lots of sprays for cutting.

Get young plants in the benches now
and they will give an abundant crop
of nice, well-ripened shoots before fall.
Grow them cool and airy during the
summer and if cutworms attack them
feed the worms with poisoned mash.
Where it is intended to carry over old
beds, be careful not to trim off the
growths too closely, as this seriously
cripples the plants. Cut away any old,
worthless shoots. Eemove some of the
old soil and top-dress with loam and
cow manure. Asparagus Sprengeri
can, if desired, be planted outdoors,
lifted and benched in the fall. One or
two quite successful growers treat it
in this way and with excellent success.
Sprengeri is a gross feeder.

Begonia Incamata.

The present is a suitable time to in-
sert a batch of cuttings of that useful
winter-flowering plant, Begonia incar-
nata. The cut-back plants will now
have an abundant crop of soft cuttings,
which will root readily and make good

plants. The side shoots from plants
not headed back, even if they root,
never make shapely plants. This beau-
tiful begonia takes two years to make
fine plants in 6-inch and 7-inch pots,
and while it is in many respects a
superior variety to Lorraine, especially
the improved form, the fact that it
must be sold at a proportionately
higher price to make it profitable will
somewhat restrict its culture commer-
cially.

Hydrangeas.

Tubs and larger pots containing
specimen hydrangeas for late summer
flowering will do much better outdoors
now than in the overheated green-
houses. They need a position in partial
shade and must have copious supplies
of water, feeding twice a week and
spraying overhead on hot days. A lit-
tle alum used in the water will assist
in making the flowers a stronger blue
color; in fact, if used steadily, it will
make pink ones turn a bluish shade.
Young plants propagated in early
spring should be planted outdoors, if
they can be grown where they can get
an occasional watering. If not, they
will do much better kept in pots and
plunged outdoors in a sunny exposure.

Peonies.

The present season cannot be classed
as a satisfactory one for peonies. The
intense heat in May and abnormal
drought conditions have combined to
make the flowers fewer in number and
far below the average in quality. Their
keeping qualities also are unsatisfac-
tory. So severe has been the drought
in some sections that strong clumps
are not flowering at all, or are only
producing scattered blooms. Artificial
watering for peonies is out of the ques-
tion, unless one has the good fortune
to have a Skinner or other irrigating
system installed, and each year proves
more and more the value of these sys-
tems. The best, therefore, that we can
do is to cultivate freely.

FERNS IN COLDFBAMES.

The coldframes are sometimes al-
lowed to grow up to weeds when the
bedding-out season has passed. This is
both unsightly and unprofitable. The
up-to-date florist always contrives to
keep the frames filled, both winter and
summer. Not only are the frames
valuable for growing cyclamens, prim-
ulas, tuberous begonias and other flow-
ering plants, but they are equally
good for quantities of foliage plants,
while for ferns of almost any kind
they are away ahead of greenhouses.
If the needful head room does not exist,
it is easy to dig out the bottoms a
little. Then give a good coating of
fine coal ashes. Scatter some air-
slaked lime over this and rake it over
to care for any rambling snails or

^n

other marauders, after which the ferns
can be stood in them. Adiantums, such
as Croweanum, cuneatum and gracilli-
mum; any of the pteris, cyrtomiums,
polypodiums, davallias and nephrolepis,
to say nothing of other varieties, will
make a much better growth in frames
than greenhouses and will be more
compact and stocky. To reduce water-
ing they can, if necessary, be partially
plunged in partially decayed leaves,
cocoanut fiber or tanbark. The sashes,
of course, must be well shaded, ventila-
tion carefully given and the plants
never allowed to suffer for want of
water.

Try a few sashes of ferns this season
and you will be so well pleased with
the results that you will want to grow
more in this way another year.

GOOD CULTX7BE WELL BEPAID.

■' Late' sweet peas under glass are this
season proving unusually profitable in
many parts of the country. It will
pay to give the glass a light shade, in
order to somewhat lower the tempera-
ture of the house, and keep ventilators
and the end doors wide open night and
day. The weather has been hot and
trying for sweet peas, which are natu-
rally cool, moisture-loving subjects.
Bed spider must be kept off at all haz-
ards and the water from a hose well
directed is the one thing needful for
this purpose. The best time to pick
the flowers is early in the morning, be-
fore the sun's rays have become power-
ful. Flower gathering under glass is
not exactly pleasurable during the
most torrid part of the day and all
growers know, or should know, that in
summer it is the worst possible time
to pick flowers of any kind. An abun-
dant water supply, free syringing and
ample ventilation are necessities where
a late indoor crop is desired. Of
course stems are now rapidly lessening
in length and we cannot expect the
quality to equal what we had in March
and April.

Over a large portion of the country
the spring and early summer rainfall
has been deficient and the outdoor
sweet peas, which revel in cool, moist
weather, are far below their usual
quality. The early crop is already
flowering, but the stems as yet are
short. Where watering facilities exist,
it will pay to soak the ground well
with the hose, or, better still, with
sprinklers. If the space between the
rows is well mulched, the moisture will
be held in the ground a long time and
the effects of the watering, while not
equaling what we would get from the
heavens themselves, is indeed surpris-
ing. Not only are root soakings good,
but a hosing overhead on warm even-
ings is beneficial. It refreshes the
plants wonderfully and keeps aphis
away. The average country florist will
now find that carnations are small and
spidery, and roses getting poorer and
poorer. Many customers are growing
tired of them and demand a change of
flowers. No other variety is so uni-
versally popular as the sweet pea.
Therefore look well after your plants,
especially in a year when precipita-
tion from natural sources is so uncer-
tain.

FBUNINa FLOWEBING SHBUBS.

The time to prune flowering shrubs,
with the exception of hydrangeas and
one or two other unimportant species, is
after the flowering period has passed.
Too often we see painful evidences of
this work in winter and early spring,
when the hired man or " landscaper, "
as he frequently dubs himself, gives the

grounds their annual spring clean-up,
which is incomplete unless the various
shrubs are sheared into a more sym-
metrical shape. Practically all the nice
flowering shoots are cut away, leaving
the shrubs fit ornaments for an Ameri-
canized Italian garden. This is a good
time to do such necessary pruning, the
main trouble being that with extreme
pressure of other duties the work is gen-
erally laid over to a more convenient
season.

We can easily see all dead and weak
wood now. This should be removed en-
tirely. Flowering wood, when the flow-
ers are fine, should be well headed back,
and where the shrubs have grown tall
and somewhat lanky this is the time to
cut them back quite hard. They will
make quite a lot of growth before the
season ends; specially is this true of
lilacs, philadelphus, loniceras, vibur-
nums and the stronger growing shrubs.
In addition to the shrubs named, such
varieties as exochordas, spiraeas, deutzias,
weigelias, ribes, prunus, stephanandras
and rhodotypos should be judiciously

pruned at this season. The result will
be in every case much to the plants'
benefit.

WHO OWNS THE AIE7

Who owns the air has not been set-
tled by the injunction proceedings re-
ported in last week's issue of The Ee-
view, but it has been fully shown
that E. Allan Peirce controls that por-
tion of the atmosphere that lies imme-
diately above the greenhouses of Peirce
Bros., Waltham, Mass.; if you want
to use that particular patch of air
you will have to see Mr. Peirce first.

There is to be an air ship tournament
at Waltham, and Peirce Bros, threat-
ened injunction proceedings when it
was announced that the direction of
the flight would take the aeroplanes
over the Peirce greenhouses. As any
other direction would take the air men
over one or another of neighboring
greenhouse properties, if an injunction
could be obtained by one of the owners
it would open the way for rendering
the flight impossible. Therefore the
management was prompt to adjust mat-
ters with Peirce Bros. A bond was
given, for $5,000, to cover any damage
to the greenhouse property which might
result from the air ships passing over,
or, rather, their failure to pass over.

Tamaqua, Pa.— It is said that during
a recent electrical storm the green-
houses of Nels Nelsen were struck three
times within a few moments, but were
only slightly damaged. Superintendent
Derr's residence was also struck and
a small blaze started, which was easily
extinguished.

Cjrmbidiums.

Cymbidiums are not so much grown
as their merits would seem to warrant.
Where can we find any flowers which,
when cut, will last as long as those of
C. Lowianumf Particularly beautiful is
the pale apple-green form, C. Lowianum
concolor. C. eburneo-Lowianum, C. ebur-
neum, C. Tracyannm, C. insigne, also
called C. Sanderi, and C. Wjinnianum
are a few good varieties to grow and
all will succeed well in a cool house,
with a winter minimum of 50 degrees.
They grow better in fibrous loam than
in osmunda fiber. In common with
phaius, calanthes, thunias and sobra-
lias, they are benefited by occasional
weak doses of liquid manure in the
growing season. They also enjoy a syr-
inging overhead daily in the hot months.

Vanda Cserulea.

Vanda cserulea does not like so warm
and close an atmosphere as the majority
of the East Indian varieties. It will
grow amazingly in a stuffy house, but
when it comes to the flowering season

the plants fail to win applause. They
should not be heavily shaded and the
cool end of a cattleya house suits them
well. Free ventilation is also what they
need. Unlike the odontoglossums, these
seem to do even better with some grow-
ing sphagnum in the pots.

Oncidlum Varicosnm Bogersit

Oncidium varicosum Rogersii is the
most popular of the various florists' on-
cidiums and its long-branched spikes of
golden yellow flowers are decorative and
a great feature in store windows in the
fall. This oncidium grows particularly
well in small pans hung close to the
glass in a cool, airy house. On warm
days it_ can be syringed overhead twice,
and it is a safe plan to dip the pans in
a tub or pail of water thrice a week, as
hose watering does not always properly
moisten the compost. New importations
of this oncidium will soon be offered.
They are always eagerly bought and
anyone handling a few orchids cannot
go far wrong in buying a few of thii
variety.

NEW TOBK.

The Market.

Extreme heat and enormous ship-
ments of peonies depressed the market
last week and the great storms of Sat-
urday and Sunday left it wobbly and
uncertain. There is no increase in the
volume of trade in cut flowers, and
prices are at their lowest ebb, "There
are no prices," was the response of
one of the veterans, who says the mar-
ket of May and June to date is unique
in his twenty-five years' experience.
Midsummer prices never came so early.

Few good American Beauties are
arriving. Little of the stock goes above
10 cents for the selected, and from
that down to zero. Of other roses the
natural shortening of the supply is slow
in developing, and $10 per thousand
would secure about anything arriving
if large quantities were purchased.
There is little quality to any of it.
Many thousands of carnations remained
unsold, and were placed in the discard
last week. Nearly every wholesaler sup-
plied his share. It needed extra fine
goods to secure an offer of $10 per
thousand. The results of the extreme
heat were especially seen in the carna-
tion shipments. Lilies do not go above
4 cents and thousands are disposed of
at $10 to $20 per thousand. There
is no scarcity of gladioli and prices are
falling fast. The storms have badly
damaged the peonies that remain, and
rendered most of them unsalable. This
week will probably leave few unmar-
keted.

The exodus to Europe is lessening.
The retailers have had a wonderful sea-
son in steamer flowers, and boxes and
baskets innumerable have sped the part-
ing coronationists. The June weddings
are now at full tide, and some splendid
decorative work has fallen to the lot
of every florist of prominence.

Club Meeting.

The rooms of the New York Florists'
Club were well filled Monday evening.
President Nugent opened the session
promptly on the stroke of eight, as is
his invariable custom. Besolutions of
sympathy on the death of J. H. Taylor
were read and approved. Chairman
Fenrich made a favorable report on
the club's outing, June 28, and before
the meeting closed the committee had
sold several hundred dollars' worth of
tickets and an equal amount was con-
tributed for prizes. Everything prom-
ises a great success. The whole affair
will be unique and new features will
add to the enjoyment. It is necessary
that the committee know in advance
how large the crowd will be. All let-
ters should be sent to the chairman,
Joseph H. Fenrich.

The committee on greenhouse build-
ing at Cornell was unable to report
any further progress, the deadlock at
Albany and the fire having put a
damper on everything but political leg-
islation.

F. H. Traendly reported for the
transportation committee. The Penn-
sylvania railroad and the Baltimore &
Ohio offer a rate and three-fifths, and
the certificate plan is advised. The
fare is $7.44. Mr. Miller moved that
the trip be made Monday afternoon and
that all arrangements for special train
and refreshments be left with the com-
mittee. Fifty dollars was appropriated
and all florists from New England go-
ing to the convention at Baltimore are

asked to join the New York Florists'
Club and enjoy the privileges of its
special.

The exhibits for the evening were
many and varied. E. G. Wilson, of
Brooklyn, exhibited his new fern, un-
named, which the award committee
thought to be a species of cybotium.
A later report will be made. Mr. Wil-
son also exhibited a vase of his new
blush sweet pea. John Lewis Childs
exhibited a collection of new varieties
of gladioli, the dwarf calla, Mrs.
Koosevelt, the yellow calla, Elliottiana,
and some grand peonies. The hearty
thanks of the club were accorded all
the exhibitors, including the Cottage
Gardens Co., of Queens, N. Y., for a
vase of peonies.

Messrs. Bunyard, Totty and Simpson
were appointed a committee to draw
up resolutions on the death of the
daughter of Charles Schenck, and
Messrs. Traendly, Bunyard and Shaw
on the death of Charles Armitage.

The president announced the nomi-
nating committee for 1912 as follows:
Messrs. Miller, Sheridan, Totty, Birnie,
Kessler, Hendrickson and Siebrecht, Jr.

Interesting addresses were made by
John G. Esler on "Hail," E. W. Mac-
Nifl on the "Lights and Shadows of
the Auction Business," and L. W. C.
Tuthill on "Advertising." Considera-
ble discussion followed. Mr. Totty said
Mr. Tuthill 's essay was one of the clev-
erest ever read before the club and
gave his own experiences in proof that
"advertising is the vital force that
brings success." Mr. Ebel spoke of
advertising as an investment and not
an expense and illustrated its influ-
ence. Messrs. Bunyard, Berry and
Weathered also gave experiences of in-
terest and the thanks of the club were
accorded all the speakers and essayists
of the evening.

Al. Eickards and committee had an
especially au revoir menu for the club
members.

Various Note?.

L. W, C. Tuthill was thrown from
his motorcycle last week and sprained
an ankle.

J. B. Velie, manager of Lord & Burn-
ham 's Boston office, will be operated
on for appendicitis June 15. T. B. De
Forest, of the New York office, will
take charge there until his recovery.

Lord & Bumham Co. has closed a con-
tract with P. S. Eandolph, of Ean-
dolph & McClements, Pittsburg, for six
houses 21x200 and one 50x200, the large
one to be devoted to sweet peas, a de-
cision arrived at by Mr. Eandolph after
seeing William Sim's exhibit at the
Boston show.

W. H. Siebrecht and wife, of Chap-
paqua, sailed June 13 for a visit to
Germany. Patrick O'Mara is going
over Solomon Hanfling sailed June
10. M. A. Bowe says he shortly will
depart for an auto trip through Ger-
many, France and England.

Arthur T. Boddington reports the
California sweet pea growers refusing
additional orders for seed, and fears it
will be "the shortest crop in years."

Julius Eoehrs is back from his Eu-
ropean trip.

Harry Turner now is superintendent
for the Untermyer estate, Graystone.

Thos. Murray, of Tuxedo, and C. E.
Eussell, of Eoslyn, were recent visitors.

The outing of the Plant Growers ' As-
sociation in July will be worth while.
Messrs. Steinhoff, Schoelzel and Eoehrs
are the committee.

Henry Weston, of Hempstead, has
caught the sweet pea fever. Hitchings
& Co. have the contract for a house of
15,000 square feet to be devoted to
peas.

A meeting of the New York Horti-
cultural Society, accompanied by an
exhibition, was held June 10 at the
New York Botanical Garden, in Bronx
park. The exhibition, which was held
in the basement of the large Museum
building, was also open on the follow-
ing day, Sunday. Prizes were offered
for roses, peonies, shrubs and trees, and
herbaceous plants. A. Lahodny, gar-
dener for T. A. Havemeyer, made a
large exhibit of peonies, irises, and
rhododendrons and azaleas. James
Stuart, gardener for Mrs. F. A. Con-
stable, sent a collection of choice peo-
nies and roses. A large collection of
roses was staged by John Woodcock,
gardener for Gen. E. A. McAlpin. The
display of peonies by the Cottage Gar-
dens Co. was superb. Special awards
to trade exhibitors were: John Lewis
Childs, certificate of merit for Phila-
delphus Virginal; Bobbink & Atkins,
special mention for a collection of her-
baceous plants; John Lewis Childs, spe-
cial mention for a collection of gladioli;
Julius Eoehrs Co., special mention for
a collection of cut orchids; T. A. Have-
meyer, special mention for a collection
of hydrangeas.

Bowling.

It was too hot for the bowlers June 9,
but W. Eickards and A. Kakuda each
averaged 166.

Monday afternoon, June 12, at the
club's alleys, the Long Island Bowling
Club was represented by the veteran,
John Donaldson, who has fully recov-
ered from his recent illness. This club,
thirty strong, including the ladies, will
have its annual dinner and theater
party Saturday evening, June 17. The
Monday scores were:

Player. 1st 2d 8d

Donaldson 166 163

Tallman 133 147

Scott 148 144 181

Kakuda 146 163 178

Roehrs, Tbeo 179 156 157

Maoda 189 161 203

J. Austin Shaw.

The approach of the close of the
auction season is marked by the annual
trade sale. The Elliott Auction Co. an-
nounces this for June 20. Their trade
sales always attract a big crowd to
42 Vesey street.

James McAnney, a Manhattan re-
tailer, recently sued Charles Schaefer,
a grower on Shell road, Elmhurst, for
$500 damages. In his complaint Mr.
McAnney alleged that several days be-
fore Easter he telephoned to the de-
fendant for some flowers, which were
promised for immediate delivery, but
were never received.

OLADIOLL

A last planting of gladioli bulbs
should be made early in June. The
spikes usually produced on these are not
so large as on the earlier planted ones,
but they help to lengthen the season
nicely. Plant in trenches six inches, or
even eight inches, deep, and if the ground
is dry run a watering can over the bulbs
and soak them before covering them with
soil. Keep the earlier batches well cul-
tivated. They will withstand a surpris-
ingly long dry spell if they were not
shallow planted and the cultivator is
kept constantly at work to preserve a
loose surface mulch.

PSOVIDENOE.

Tbe Market.

The florists of this city and vicinity
are now resting on their laurels, wait-
ing for the closing of the public and
private schools of varied character,
which, with the weddings incidental to
June, will terminate a busy and pros-
perous season. The margin of profit
has been somewhat smaller than in pre-
vious years, but the volume of trade
has been sufficient to make up for such
deficiencies, with the result that every-
one is happy and well satisfied with
the aggregate showing.

A majority of the growers are well
advanced in their field work and many
have commenced the overhauling of
their houses and benches and are mak-
ing preparations for the reception of
their new stocks. Funeral work holds
up well and moves about all the stock
that finds its way into town.

Various Notes.

The J. A. Budlong & Son Co., of
Auburn, is cutting a fine crop of e'x.-
cellent White Killarney roses.

H. H. Pepper, of the Melrose Eose
Gardens, reports the best spring busi-
ness in the sale of rose bushes he has
ever experienced.

Joshua Vose, the dahlia grower of
Pontiac, is confined to his house by a
severe illness.

Joseph Kopelman reports an increas-
ing business in his new wire depart-
ment. During the last week he made
up more than a dozen special designs
of large size.

The Highland Floral Co., of Paw-
tucket, has closed its retail store at 23
High street.

M. Macnair has opened a handsome
new store at the corner of Chestnut and
Broad streets, a few doors above his
old store. Both places will be main-
tained.

The monthly meeting of the Florists'
and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island
will be held Monday evening, June 19,
at which time the special committee to
arrange for the annual outing will
make its report.

Joseph Leikens, of New York city,
has opened his store on Bellevue ave-
nue, Newport, for the season.

William Hoffman, of Pawtucket, has
just installed a new boiler with a dou-
ble steam trap.

Oscar Schultz, of Newport, was a
visitor in New York and New Jersey
last week.

W. B. King, of Apponaug, expects to
retire from active business in the near
future on account of his health. The
business will be conducted by his son.

O. H. Williams, of Pocasset, has con-
tracted with Hitchings & Co. for the
erection of two new greenhouses, sixty
feet in length, to be ready in July.

Miss Florence B. Schellinger, daugh-
ter of J. F. Schellinger, of Riverside,
was married Tuesday evening at her
parents' home.

D. E. Newell, of Attleboro, has re-
tired from the florists' business and is
to spend some time in traveling. He
is succeeded by Martin Ockert.

Nate Pierce, of Norwood, reports an
unusually busy spring in nursery de-
mands. He has had several large es-
tates to lay out. W. H. M.

OBITUAEY.

Ohauncey P. Coy.

Chauncey P. Coy, pioneer Nebraska
seed grower and well known citizen,
died suddenly at his home in Water-
loo, Saturday evening, June 10, of
heart trouble, after a brief illness. He
was the senior member of the firm oi
Chauncey P. Coy & Son, wholesale seed
growers, and one of the best known
citizens of western Douglas county,
having lived there about thirty-five
years. He was a native of New York
state, a veteran of the civil war and a
member of the Masonic order.

Charles H. Magoon.

Dr. Charles H. Magoon, a pioneer
nuseryman of Iowa, died at his home
in Wakefield, la., June 1, at the age
of 70 years. His death was the re-
sult of an injury caused by a fall a
few days previously. He settled at
Algona, la., in 1857, and is said to have
started the first nursery in the state.

Mrs. Mary Hanson.

Mary Hanson, wife of Hubert Han-
son, for many years a grower on North
Clark street, died June 10 at 1250
Grace street, Chicago. She was 52
years of age. The funeral was held
June 13 from the residence to St.
Gregorius' church, interment being at
St. Henry's cemetery. She is sur-
vived by her husband and one son,
Henry.

Mrs. A. Woemer.

Mrs. A. Woerner, wife of August
Woemer, of Clinton, Mo., died May 26,
as the result of a stroke of apoplexy.
She was 52 years of age and is survived
by her husband and eight children. Mr.
Woerner and family have been thirteen
years in the florists' business at Clin-
ton and are highly respected there,
where they built up a trade covering
several near-by towns.

Mrs. A. B. Packard.

The death is reported of Mrs. A. B.
Packard, who was 72 years of age and
had for forty years been a florist at
Quincy, Mass. Her greenhouses were
among the first in New England, her
•first structure having been built as an
amusement, but, like so many others
who began flower growing for recrea-
tion, she soon made it a matter of busi-
ness. She continued actively at work
until a few weeks before her death.

Concord, N. H.— Athole G. Hoit has
taken a position with Gilbert J.
Benedict.

Bochester, N. Y. — The plans have
been completed for the erection of the
Lamberton Memorial Conservatory, at
the entrance to Highland park. This
addition to the park system was made
possible through a bequest of $20,000
by the late Miss Mary A. Starbuck, as
a memorial to President A. B. Lamber-
ton, of the park board. The building
will be opened to the public about Sep-
tember 1.

Nashua, N. H.— Geo. W. Coburn, of
the East Hollis Greenhouses, has taken
his son into partnership and the busi-
ness is now conducted under the name
of Geo. W. Coburn & Son. They have
added one greenhouse, 18x60, and in-
tend to do more building this summer.
They had a fine stock of bedding
plants, which sold rapidly. Their car-
nations in the field have been doing
well, especially since the coming of the
recent showers.

JVEWS Ngiis^.1

Bangor, Me. — A recent fire at the
residence of John Martin, the Center •

his wife, who died June 2, at the age
of 83 years.

Astoria, L. I. — Mrs. H. Pritchard, who
is 67 years of age, recently was injured
by a fall on the stairs, but now is about
again.

Polo, 111. — Miss Marjorie Wilkes has
charge of H. Davis' flower business in

Fairview Heights florist, has purchased
four lots on High street and will buUd

ready for business.

Kankakee, HI. — A little son and
daughter arrived June 3 at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Schafer.
"The mother and twins," says the re-
port, "are doing nicely."

St. Louis, Mich. — Kleinhans Bros,
lost heavily by a hail storm that passed
over this place June 4. They are said
to have found only three unbroken
lights after the storm, and were with-
out insurance. The stock, of course,
was badly cut up.

Somersworth, N. H. — G. S. Ramsburg
has completed his new chrysanthemum
house. He was particularly success-
ful this year in timing his stock for
Memorial day and had plenty of
flowers ready for the market just when
the demand was heaviest.

Findlay, O. — The City Greenhouse
Co., which recently purchased the busi-
ness of Samuel J. McMichael, on Lark-
ins street, has now been incorporated.

large amount of space at the show has
also been ordered by E. W. Thurlow, of
West Newbury.

Gretna, La. — B. M. Wichers has won
his case in the State Supreme Court
against the New Orleans Acid & Fer-
tilizer Co., which was decided in his
favor in the Civil District Court and ap-
pealed by the defendant concern. He

the ground that plants and flowers in
his gardens were killed by fumes from
the company's plant.

son, whose term of office has expired.

Don't let surpluses of young chrys-
anthemum stock go to waste. Offer it
in the Classified department of The Re-
view. The ready way in which such
stock has been moved has resulted in
more than one grower changing the
direction of his effort. It's easy to
work up a wholesale business if one
sends out strictly first-class stock.

"WHAT SO BABE?"

In days of old, when Junes were cold,

At least not boiling hot.
They may have passed for "perfect days,"

But now, b'jing! they're not.

— B. L. T. In Chicago Tribune.

In days of old, the florist who stood
"knee deep in June" also was pretty
well buried with orders. June was con-
sidered one of the best months of the
year. But that was when Junes were
cold. This year it has been different.
June 9 over a lar^e''part of the coilntry
was the hottest June day in the history
of the United States Weather Bureau,
some forty years, and over a big stretch
of the west the shade temperature ran
to 100 degrees or more, a full 40 degrees

above the highest point reached the
same date in 1910. Such weather is
bad for the flower business — bad for
stock and bad for the customers; takes
the ambition out of both. But the one
redeeming feature is that it won't last.
One rule in all well regulated newspaper
offices is: "Don't talk about what the
weather IS; it wi21 change before the
paper comes out,"

IMPOBTS OF PLANTS.

The government has given out the
figures covering the imports of plants,
trees, vines, etc., for April, 1911, as
compared with the same month in 1910.
The figures are almost the same:

April, 1910 $163,184

April, 1911 164,406

NATIONAL SWEET PEA SOCIETY.

The National Sweet Pea Society, ow-
ing to the slow development of the
growth of sweet peas this season, has
decided to change the date of the an-
nual exhibition to June 29 and 30. The
schedules are being mailed to members,
and any interested can procure them
upon application to David Eust, Horti-
cultural hall, Philadelphia, or the sec-
retary at 342 West Fourteenth street,
New York city.

Harry A. Bunyard, Sec'y.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Last week the heat record was broken
once more. Not within the history of
the weather office has there been a
June day as hot as Friday and Satur-
day of last week. Naturally, business
suffered greatly. It happens that the
comparison with last year is made par-
ticularly bad by the fact that the first
full week in June, 1910, was excep-
tionally good.

The heat brought in an enormous
quantity of flowers and it was the
cause of a large part of the stock be-
ing so poor that it would have been un-
salable even with a much better de-
mand than existed. The wholesalers
were obliged to do an immense amount
of sorting to get out the flowers for
such orders as came to hand. There
has been, and is, a fair run of shipping
business, for stock all through the west,
and especially in the southwest, has
suffered from the same high tempera-
tures. The result is that a great many
buyers who have enough poor flowers
of their own are sending to Chicago
when the need arises for something
really good. It has not been easy to
satisfy these buyers. The present week
opened with temperatures more mod-
erate, but still above normal. Every-
one feels sure that business will revive
quickly should normal June weather
conditions prevail.

In the last week the Beauty market
has suffered as much as any. Some
houses are cutting little more than is
needed to supply their orders, but some
of the growers who planned summer
crops have b'een getting an enormous
production, far more than could be
markpj;ed in the usual course of busi-
ness. Such extreme heat as has
brought on these heavy cuts naturally
detracts from the quality, but there
still are more good Beauties than the
demand calls for, which leaves prac-
tically no sale for the lower grades.

"'enMon The Review when vou write

There are some quite fair roses, heat
considered, and the best sell well.
Maryland is fair and good Kaiserin is
coming in, though White Killarney still
predominates. Killarney itself contin-
ues abundant and some nice, clean
stock is to be had, though an uncom-
fortable proportion of the receipts are
open. On the whole, however, the
quality of roses is as good as could be
expected.

Carnations have improved in spite of
the heat; they seem to have become ac-
climated. Of course the flowers are
small. Last week's averages were so
low that probably the growers will
quickly throw out the stock that is
giving the lower grade of blooms and
supply is expected to decrease rapidly.
Thus far it has been large.

The pressure of peonies has subsided.
There are quantities in cold storage,
some of them good and some of them no
good. White is much more abundant
than good pink. The first-class stock
is selling well, but there is little inter-
est in the poorer grades. It is figured
that the peony season will end this
year a month earlier than usual. Those
who hold the best stock expect to be
cleaned out weeks ahead of last year.

Even cattleyas have been in better
supply the last few days. There is an
abundance of Easter lilies and gladioli.
Valley has a fairly steady demand.
Sweet peas continue plentiful, but are
none too good.

Smilax and asparagus strings are
about the only items in strong request.
New Michigan ferns are in and prices
have dropped.

Various Notes.

Kennicott Bros. Co. received the first
asters of the season last week.

P. N. Obertin and wife, of Kenosha,
were visitors at Kyle & Foerster's this
week. Mr. Obertin has bought land just
outside of Kenosha and will erect 35,-
000 feet of glass, opening a retail store
downtown.

Miss Frances Brundage, who has
acted as secretary of the E. H. Hunt
corporation, has gone to Missouri to
spend the summer with a sister for the
purpose of benefiting her health.

Phil Schupp says that the thermom-
eter in J. A. Budlong's Kaiserin house

registered 130 degrees one day last
week.

Peter Eeinberg has just received a
new Pierce-Arrow six-cylinder touring
car. He already had a French
limousine.

It is said that even the ice man who
serves the wholesale houses was over-
come by the heat last week.

George Walther reports an unusually
busy season in Englewood; an immense
amount of bedding,

Vaughan & Sperry say they expect
all the peonies to be sold by the middle
of July this year, where last season
the supply lasted into August.

O. P. Bassett and Mrs. Bassett ar-
rived June 14 from Pasadena. The
purpose of their trip is to buy the fur-
nishings for the new house now nearing
completion.

Miss Minnie Wattman, of the E. C.
Amling Co., has gone to Alden, Mich.,
for a fortnight's rest and recuperation.

George Eeinberg 's automobile
knocked down a woman 66 years of age,
on the evening of June 6, and she died
in a hospital next day. The machine
was being driven by Tony, who brings
the cut flowers from the greenhouses

to the store. He was going so slowly
that the woman was not thrown, and
he stopped after only the front wheels
had passed over her. The coroner's
jury held the automobilists blameless.

Fisher's flower store at 2737 North
Clark street was burglarized one night
last week.

Henry Van Gelder spent June 11 on
the lake, and between sunburn and
rheumatism has had an uncomfortable
time of it this week.

G. Swenson, Elmhurst, who consigns

That artificial flowers are finding a

Artificial garlands and sprays seem to

The Market.

Trade among the retailers was quite
„ jod all of last week. There were
plenty of weddings and a great deal of
work for school commencements, both
local and shipping. There is a great
deal of this kind of work on hand for
this week. Funeral work, too, was quite
heavy, so the florists put in a busy
week in all parts of the city. The hot
weather all the week was hard on cut

flowers and the consignments suffered
greatly. Our local growers are bring-
ing fairly good stock. Outdoor flowers
are suffering for want of a good rain.
At the wholesale houses there seem
to be plenty of roses, carnations and
sweet peas, but the quality is poor and
the prices continue low. Good valley
is in demand. Lilies are becoming
scarce. Ferns are also scarce and good
smilax sells well at $15 per hundred

Club Meeting.

The twenty-fifth anniversary meeting
of the Florists' Club, which was held
June 8, at 2 p. m., was well attended,
thirty-five members being present when
President Connon opened the meeting.
The trustees reported that everything
was in readiness for the anniversary
banquet, to be held June 28, that fifty
acceptances had been received and it
was hoped the entire membership would
send in their acceptances by June 20.
The trustees were instructed to arrange
for the annual picnic, with full power
to act.

David Geddes, of the Ayers Floral
Co., made application for membership.

State Vice-president Fred H. Weber
of the S. A. F. was present and spoke
at length regarding the coming meeting
of the 8. A. F. at Baltimore. Mr. Weber
will have charge of the transportation

this year. Chairman De Wever of the
bulletin committee made a good talk
on "Cooperation Among the Local Flo-
rists," on which quite a good discus-
sion was started. Harry Balsley, of De-
troit, also spoke and urged the mem-
bers to visit Detroit when the carna-
tion and rose meetings will be held
there.

Henry Emunds, of Belleville, showed
a plant of his new canna, a sport of
King Humbert, which was green on
one side and red on the other. The
green side showed a yellow flower and
the red a red flower, which was greatly
admired by the members.

The rest of the afternoon was taken
up by discussions on questions from the
question box and Trustee Guy passed
good cigars. The next meeting of the
club will take place July 13, when offi-
cers will be nominated, the election to
follow at the August meeting.

Various Notes.

The Retail Florists' Association held
its monthly meeting June 5, in Knights
of Columbus hall, Grand and Olive
streets, at 8 o'clock. The resignation
of Fred C. Weber, Jr., as secretary, was
read and accepted and Robert J. Wind-
ier was elected to the office. Mr. Wind-
ier, in turn, resigned as treasurer, and
Fred H. Weber was chosen for the

place. The meeting was well attendee!
and President Sanders, who presided,,
said a great deal of important business-
was transacted.

The Ladies' Home Circle had an Gat-
ing at O 'Fallon park, June 12, when a
most enjoyable day was spent. All
the ladies have received souvenir postal
cards from the secretary of the circle,.
Miss Matilda Meinhardt, who is travel-
ing in Europe this summer. Mrs. John
Steidle, president of the circle, saya
there will be quite a few of these out-
door meetings of the circle during the-
hot summer months.

The trustees of the Florists' Club,.
Messrs. Guy, Bentzen and Ostertag, will
make several trips this week to find
a new place in which to hold the annual
florists' picnic this year. The date will
be July 20. As to the place, some of
the members favor the east side, while
others want the old place, Romona park.
The choice was left to the trustees,,
who will endeavor to find a place that
will please all.

J. J. Wunderli, who is head of th&
Alexander Floral Co., at Clayton, Mo.,
says their new houses are being corii-
pleted and they will be in position to
send a lot of good stock to this market
next fall and winter.

PHII.ADEIJ>HIA.

The Bising Eastern Market.

Beauties and valley are the strong
points of a weak market; weak be-
cause of flowers rather than of busi-
ness. By far the larger part of the
stock coining into town is below grade,
mot fit for the orders, particularly the
shipping orders. Business is fairly good
for the season. There are wedding and
commencement orders and a fair num-
ber of orders of other kinds: for din-
ners, gifts for the hospitals, for the
seashore, and so on. The trouble lies
in the extraordinarily hot weather that
damaged the quality so seriously in
May and gave it a final slap on two
or three days of the week ending June
14. Some idea of the quality can be
formed from the statement that out of
a single shipment of roses amounting
to 9,000, only 100 could be picked last
Monday that were equal to shipping
requirements; for the balance the
wholesaler would gladly have taken at
the rate of 50 cents per hundred. Car-
nations are just as bad; one sale of
2,600 at the rate of 13 cents per hun-
dred was considered good, the stock
being soft and unfit. Sweet peas were
in good demand on some days of the
week. There have been a lot of rainy
days, and on the day following the
supply is apt to be short, but after
pleasant days the outdoor pick is in
full swing. Local peonies are over;
the market is now depending on the
flowers from a cooler latitude; this may
be interpreted in two ways; many of
them are fine.

Eliminating unsalable stock, there
are still some really good roses, car-
nations, valley, lilies and other flowers
with which to do business. These bring
good prices for the season. Cattleyas
seem expensive for most of the buyers
now, while there is little interest in
gardenias. Greens are dull. White li-
lacs are over.

Flowers Abroad.

M. Kice talked of several things seen_
on his recent trip abroad that may be'
of general interest. One was the ex-
hibition at Boskoop, Holland, men-
tioned before in this column. The fea-

tures of this exhibition were: It was
entirely composed of hardy stock flow-
ered in pots; it was held at a place a
long distance from a railway station,
and it appeared to be a popular suc-
cess. An explanation of the last two
facts may be necessary; the show was
held on a canal, and the canal is the
highway in Holland.

In London Mr. Eice visited the Co-
vent Garden market several times, with
a view to learning the popular taste in
flowers. He was greatly impressed with
the firm hold that plants and flowers
have gained; the quantities sold daily
are enormous. In London also Mr. Eice
was interested in the general move-
ment of closing the business houses on
Holy Thursday, not to reopen until
Easter Tuesday; wherever the require-
ments of a business made it possible a
sign to this effect was posted in the

pie left London for three days. Were
this the custom in this city, Easter
would cease to grow more important
as a floral festival.

Mr. Eice noticed that the theaters
in England and on the Continent al-
most without exception had floral decor-
ations. A bank of foliage and flow-
ers at each corner of the stage out-
side of the curtain was the usual
method of decoration. This was varied
and improved as the taste of the man-
agement or the decorator suggested.

The Market.

Business ruled quiet most of last
week and there is not much doing at
the opening of the present week. With
school graduations, etc., however, the
latter part of the week is expected to
be more lively. Boses are in consid-
erably reduced supply. There has been
a good call for American Beauties and
Killarneys, both pink and white. Kais-
erin has also been selling well, while
growers who have Carnot have no
trouble in disposing of the flowers.
Bichmond is still seen of remarkably
good quality for the season. Mrs.
Aaron Ward still is fairly good. This,
however, is not a summer rose and will
soon be over. A few outdoor hybrid
perpetuals appeared this week. These,
however, cut little figure in the local
market.

Carnations are away down in prices;
while a few may make $2 per hun-
dred, a greater number are sold at 75
cents, with others as low as 35 cents
to 50 cents. Sweet peas are holding
up well and remain the best selling
flowers in the market. Some of the
large growers have finished picking
for the season. A few outdoor flowers
are already arriving, but these are not
of high-class quality. Marguerites are
mostly small and poor in quality. Good

yellow flowers bring $1.50 to $2 per
hundred. There is an adequate sup-
ply of gladioli, both large and small-
flowered varieties. Spanish iris is
about over for the season. Peonies,
especially pink and white varieties,
have sold well. Valley is only selling
moderately well and the call for lilies
and callas is not brisk. There is little
or no call for stocks, feverfew and
antirrhinum. Asparagus plumosus and
Sprengeri are selling well, but adian-
tum is moving slowly. The quality
leaves much to be desired.

The Exhibition.

The exhibition of the Massaolnisetts
Horticultural Society, June 10 and 11,
entirely filled the main hall. Peonies,
perbaceous plants in variety and or-
chids were leading attractions. There
were three entries for the best twenty-
five orchids Ranged with flowering
plants. First and third went to J. T,
Butterworth; second to Mrs. J. L. Gard-
ner, William Thatcher gardener.

Peonies were quite largely shown,
and the quality was excellent, although
no classes were provided. T. C. Thur-
low & Sons had a large display. E. J.
Shaylor had two tables filled with a
choice assortment. A gold medal was
awarded to Mr. Shaylor for his work
in popularizing the peony and encour-
aging the planting of the best varie-
ties. He is nearly 70 years of age, but
active and full of vim for one of his
ye&rs. B. & J. Farquhar & Co. had an
immense display of herbaceous plants,
filling nearly 1,000 square feet of space.
Wilton Lockwood showed the single
peony, L'Esperance, orange yellow in
color, a unique shade. Robert Cam-
eron, of the Harvard Botanic Gardens,
had a fine tank of nymphaeas and other
aqujttics; Mrs. E. ,M. Gill^ a table of
hybrid perpetual roses, iris, pyrethrums,
carnations and other flowers. F. J.
Bea showed the new aster, amellus
Beaute Parfait, deep blue in color,
awarded a certificate of merit, and
aquilegias. Mrs. J. L. Gardner had a

good collection of peonies, as had Will-
iam Whitman, M. Sullivan gardener.
The latter also had a fine group of Can-
terbury bells in pots and palms. The
leading exhibitor of peonies was Wal-
ter Hunnewell, T. D. Hatfield gardener,
who filled several tables. He also
showed Laelio-cattleya Wellesleyana
(Lselia elegans x Cattleya Mossi®) and
Beineckiana, a fine hybrid nearly pure
white in color, awarded a silver medal.
Longwater Gardens showed three plants
of the new seedling Laelio-cattleya
Longwaterensis (Cattleya Loddigesii x
Laelia purpurata alba), awarded a first-
class certificate, also several vases of
cut odontoglossums. J. T. Butterworth
received a bronze medal for a fine spec-
imen plant of Miltonia vexillaria, also
a first-class ,, cultural certificate for a
well flowered specimen of Cattleya
Mendellii Morganae, and a gratuity for
a group of miltonias. R. & J. Farquhar
& Co. received a silyer medal for their
big display of perennials, also honora-
ble mention for tree peonies and Iris

Various Notes.

W. C. Ward, of Quincy, noted as an
indoor pansy speciaUst, was the first
in the market with outdoor sweet peas,
of which he now has a large daily pick.

Gladiolus Dawn, one of B. Hammond
Tracy's seedlings, is coming in of fine
quality from S. J. Goddard and A. A.
Pembroke.

Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., has leased
the building at 1 Park street, the
ground floor of which is now occupied
by Julius H. Zinn.

Nelson & Johnson, of Framingham,
and Littlefield & Wyman, of North Ab-
ington, are among those shipping in
quantities of fine peonies.

Peirce Bros, have a fine cut of Gladi-
olus America. They still have mar-
guerites, both yellow and white, in
quantity.

William Sim finished his indoor sweet
peas some days ago and is now concen-
trating his energies on tomatoes. His
pick 18 now averaging 2,000 pounds
daily. Present wholesale prices are 15
cents to 20 cents per pound. His vio-
lets and fields of sweet corn are each
looking extra well.

Thomas W. Head, well knowif among
local growers, whose arrangements for
partnership with a prominent local flo-
rist di4 uot materialize, b^^s taken the

The Market.

The cool snap after our warm spell
is as welcome as flowers in the spring-
time, and we have more than one rea-
son for rejoicing. The flowers are bet-
ter in quality and last longer. It is
easier to hustle when it is cool, and
we certainly have to hustle these June
days, with commencements, weddings,
funerals, etc., especially weddings, for
June means weddings galore. Then,
too, business is better on account of
the absence of the «treet faker, since
there is no surplus for the faker to sell
at a ridiculous price. Flowers bring
a better price during cool weather.
People will pay a good price for a
good article, and it is soqietimes impos-
sible to have good stock during hot
weather; so we are glad it is cool once
more.

The peony is queen of the market
this week, and is arriving in enormous
quantities of large, superb blooms. Pe-

onies are used for all occasions — wed-
dings, funerals, gift flowers and re-
membrances for the sick. A week of
cool, cloudy weather has produced some
large, crisp carnations of good color,
quite out of the ordinary for June.
They find a ready market, as good car-
nations do at all times of the year.
Boses of all kinds have been much
better since the weather became cooler.
Killarneys and "White Killarneys are
strong and good in color, but red roses
are scarce and therefore expensive.
Beauties are about the same as last
week, but just a little deeper in color.
They still bring a good price.

Garden flowers are taking the place
of greenhouse flowers this month.
Quantities of iris, syringas, cut pansies,
Canterbury bells, larkspurs, pyrethrums,
etc., are used for table decorations and
as gift flowers.

In flowering plants there are but few
rhododendrons, ramblers and gloxinias,
and extremely few late spiraeas.

Various Notes.

George Hart is about sold out of bed-
ding plants, and reports a good spring
trade.

James Vick's Sons are still selling
large quantities of cabbage and tomato
plants, as well as aster, marigold and
mignonette seedlings. Other plants,
such as geraniums, vincas, petunias,
salvias, etc., have sold well.

E. C. Campbell has begun cutting
some of his summer crop of orchids —
Cattleya gigas — but it is a little early
to cut any quantity of the blooms as
yet.

The two largest weddings last week
were the Roberts-Woodworth and "the
Eockwood-Tubbs nuptials. The deco-
rations at both weddings were the work
of J. B. Keller's Sons, of 25 Clinton
avenue, north.

The Robert Craig Co., of Philadel-
phia, has forwarded a good sized ship-
ment of cyclamen of the giant variety
to Campbell's greenhouses, in this city.

A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., is
shipping large quantities of valley into
this market. He is also sending some
fine Star bouvardias.

The rhododendrons at Highland park
have just passed their prime. They
were viewed by thousands on Sunday,
June 4. Following the gorgeous dis-
play of the rhododendrons, have come
the peonies, which are now in full
bloom.

George Havill, of J. B. Keller's Sons,
did a splendid decoration for the wed-
ding of his cousin in Sodus, N. Y., June
7. The principal flowers used were
peonies, field daisies and syringas.

George Boucher is planning a Jap-
anese decoration for his store during
the summer months. E. C. A.

The Market.

Trade in general is good, but, now
that commencements are over, it is
likely to drop off a little. There are
still some June weddings to look for-
ward to, but everyone is beginning to
make plans for his summer vacation,
feeling that the season is just about
over.

There is a quantity of stock on the
market, mostly of good quality. Carna-
tions are fairly good, though perhaps
a little smaller, but for a week or ten
days they have hardly moved. Peonies
have come in by the wagon-load and
have been sold for almost nothing.
When it is possible to buy three dozen
peonies for $1, carnations must neces-
sarily take a back seat. Last year,
late frosts destroyed nearly all peonies
here, but this year there is an enor-
mous crop, mostly of good quality. They
will be gone in a few days, however,
as the warm weather has brought them
quickly into bloom.

Tea roses are equal to the demand on
some days; then several weddings take

all the white and it is several days be-
fore there is a surplus. Some of the
teas are badly mildewed, especially
Bride. There is still a good demand
for Beauties, even if they are a little
smaller.

The growers are planning to throw
out their sweet peas in a week or so.
They are selling well, but there is a
great quantity on the market, and the
price has dropped so that it hardly pays
to bother with them. Some fine gladi-
oli are seen, but Denver buyers have
not yet learned to appreciate a "nov-
elty," and so the gladioli stay in the
ice-boxes till they are ready for the
dump.

Porch and window boxes, hanging
baskets and flower beds! There are
more in Denver now than ever before.
Everybody has them. Marguerites are
sold out, for which we are truly thank-
ful. They have become an eyesore.

Club Meeting.

The last meeting of the Colorado
Florists' Club for this season was held
June 5. The attendance was better
than it had been for some time. There
was an interesting discussion, the ques-
tion being whether pansy plants could
be grown at a profit, considering the
price they bring. Estimates were sub-
mitted by N. A. Benson, C. F. Maler,
J. A. Sked, H. D. Belcher and Thomas
Chapman. It was found that the aver-
age total cost of growing 10,000 plants
exceeded the selling price by over $1.
In these estimates every little item was
taken into consideration, including the
cost of the seed, preparing beds for
seed, transplanting seedlings into cold-
frames, proportionate cost of cold-
frames and sash, mats for covering,
cost of water, labor of watering,
cost of baskets, and the labor of put-
ting the plants in baskets. It was
decided that in most instances not
more than three-fourths or four-fifths

f

of the plants are salable, owing to dif-
ferent conditions. Taking the five esti-
mates as a basis, it was determined that
the average cost to grow a dozen pansy
plants is 20 4-5 cents. In many cases
this year they have been sold for less
than that.

The trustees were authorized to find
a suitable meeting place and to engage
it before the next meeting, which will
be early in the fall.

Various Notes.

The Gulp Sisters, of Littleton, are
more than satisfied with their spring
trade. They have sold out completely,
and it will be necessary for them to
buy stock plants.

Warren Smith, while riding his mo-
torcycle recently out on Colfax avenue,
struck a rut, was thrown several feet
and rendered unconscious. He was
confined to his home for a few days,
with a few bad cuts on his head, but
is now able to be around.

Mrs. L. A. Dunsmore reports that
this year so far has been the best since
she has been in business, especially in
funeral work. She had a splendid stock
of bedding plants for the spring trade,
especially geraniums. They were the
finest she ever had. Her Easter trade
was good, with probably the best lilies
in the city. Decoration day trade sur-
passed by far any previous year, so she
thought she could do nothing better
than buy a bigger horse and new har-
ness, to let her patrons see she was
trying to accommodate them.

N. A. Benson went fishing last week,
and brought home a long string of
trout.

The latest list of the American Seed

Those in charge of next week's seed
trade convention hope to make quite a
feature of night letter crop reports.

Chaukoey p. Coy, veteran seed
grower, died suddenly at Waterloo,
Neb., June 10. See the obituary col-
umn on page 17.

In nearly all parts of the country
where seed crops are grown the weather
has been rather too dry since the passing
of the early spring rains.

Henry Cramer, formerly a collector
for S. D. Woodruff & Sons, at their
New York branch, has been arrested on
the charge of embezzling $86 belonging
to that firm.

The letter from Chief Seed Tester
Brown, published in last week's issue of
The Eeview, may be construed as an
invitation to the seed trade to come to
Washington this summer and get put
hep.

The Arizona Seed Co. is the name of

Houae ot Purity Freesla, as tcovrn for tlie Stumpp St Walter Co.

PURITY

The best and most salable Freesia in the American and European ma.rkets. Our stock of this
now popular and famous Freesia is the largest in this country. We have bulbs that have been grown
under glass (the illustration shows one of our houses), also bulbs grown by the originator, R. Fischer.
Both of these stocks are the true Purity stock, from which we receive our bulbs. The very highest
quality is guaranteed. The demand for this variety in all the wholesale markets is persistent and
universal. Its popularity is undiminished; practically it has no competitor.

age on the Santa Fe tracks, at Ninth
street, as the site for a warehouse, which
will be built at once. Seeds of all kinds
will be handled, but alfalfa will be a
specialty.

George G. Stumpp, of Stumpp &
Walter Co., New York, sailed ,for Eu-
rope June 10. He was accompanied by
his family.

A. Le Coq & Co., Darmstadt, Ger-
many, in a letter mailed May 30, say
they think it a risk to buy crimson
clover seed at present high prices, al-
though chances for a reduction in price
have been diminished by a scarcity of
green fodder, which makes it necessary
for farmers to cut the crimson clover
for feeding.

E. L. Page, president of the American
Seed Trade Association, calls attention
that next week's convention at Marble-
head will be the first meeting in Massa-
chusetts in twenty-seven years, the asso-
ciation having met in the state but once
before, at Boston in 1884, the first meet-
ing, for organization, having been held
at New York the year before.

Eeplying to various inquiries: Ee-
cent court decisions are that no words
other than those between the date and
the signature of a letter are of force
and effect as a contract. In other
words, a purchaser is not compelled to
look on the back of the seller's letter-
head, or to search the advertising mat-
ter at the top, in quest of terms in
modification of the agreement in the
body of the letter.

CONVENTION PROGRAM.

of the American Seed Trade Associa-
tion will be held at the Rock-Mere ho-

as in 1907 the exports exceeded the
imports in value by more than $4,000,-

THE ROSES TO BUY

which make satisfactory customers
are those rrown on

ROSA UNINA (Dog Briar) Stocks

They are extremely low-budded on the collar
of the roota, which makes SUCKERING PRAC-
TICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.

In 2-year-old, strong field-grown plants, we
have in stock for Fall 191 l-Spring 1912 delivery
such varieties as American Pillar, Leuchtfeuer,
Lyon Rose. Jessie, Prince de Bulgarie, Lady Ash-
town, Mme. Ravery, Mme. Car. Testout, Kaiserin
Aug. Victoria, Gruss an Teplitz, Druschki. Phari-
saer, etc., etc.

The Dog Briar is the very best stock for out-
of-door roses. They outlive any other stock,
and the color of flowers Is more brilliant and
true. Roses on this stock are far superior to
those grown on own roots— ManettI, Rugosa,
Multiflora, Sweet Briar.

GOOD COMMERCIAL DAHLIAS.

Will you name three dahlias of com-
mercial value? "• "'•

It is a difficult matter to sift dahlias
down to three varieties, more particu-
larly when nothing is said as to what
type is preferred. In cactus, Countess
of Lonsdale, salmon tinted apricot;
Pink Perle, soft rose-pink, and Kriem-
hilde, brilliant pink, are an excellent
trio. In decoratives, C. W. Bruton,
bright yellow; Souvenir de Gustave
Doazon, clear scarlet, an immense
flower, and Henry Patrick, pure white,
are fine. Among double show dahlias,
Grand Duke Alexis, pure white, tinted
lavender; A. D. Livoni, charming soft
pink, and Dreer's White are hard to
ib«at. Probably you would find Kriem-
liilde, A. D. Livoni, Grand Duke Alexis
and C. W. Bruton as fine as any for
your purpose. They are not new, but
are thoroughly reliable and free flow-
ering. C. W.

ALUM IN WATER.

Our town has installed a filter plant
and uses a great deal of alum in the
water. I should like to know whether
this water is injurious to plants.

E. W.

I have known of one or two similar
cases where alum was freely used in
connection with filter beds, but the flo-
rists using this water have not noticed
any ill effects. The opinion of others
on this subject would be interesting,
but my personal opinion is that you
have nothing to fear from using the
water. C* "•

Be a MUGWUMP. In
other words, be independent.
"Mugwump" is from the
Indian "Mugquomp" and
means "leader." In 1884
the New York Sun gave the
word political meaning, indi-
cating an independent voter;
one who was considered a
backslider or a person who
considered himself of superior
intelligence— capable of vot-
ing as he pleased. Some
florists today buy from firms
because they feel that they
are obliged to — perhaps such
a firm may buy from them.
Consider this— does the firm
buy from you, Mr. Florist,
because of your personality,
or do they buy from you be-
cause they are glad to get the
goods, at their own price, or
at a price which will net
them the most profit? Would
they not buy from your next
neighbor if they could buy
better or cheaper? Do you
think they buy from you for
love? If they do, it is not
good business. Do they buy
from you just because you
buy from them? If they do,
it is again not good business.
Do you think we would buy
bulbs from a bulb exporter
abroad just because he might
buy from us? Not much — we
would not buy from him un-
less we were sure he had the
goods. We are Mugwump
Buyers. The Mugwump, or
independent buyer, is the
successful man today. Be a
Mugwump.

Mugwumps — ready for deliv-
ery now or later. Write us.

FLINT, MICH.

In the hail storm of Sunday night,
June 4, Hasselbring the Florist, whose
greenhouses are located on Garden
street, was one of the heaviest losers.
Of the 100,000 square feet of glass in
the thirteen houses, about 50,000 square
feet were broken. The lights in the
buildings on the north side were all
broken and also seventeen lights in
the windows of the residence were de-
molished. The loss will run into thou-
sands of dollars. Thirty thousand car-
nation plants were ruined and also
twenty acres of fruit crops. The tomato
plants, which were in two houses, are
a total loss. Most of the damage was
caused by the hail. This is the third
time in seven years that these green-
houses have been damaged by storms.

Harry Schott, who conducts a green-
house and also grows garden truck on
fifteen acres near the Hasselbring green-
houses, suffered heavy loss, all the gar-
den truck being ruined.

L. De Cew, George Cheffin and Dan
Buecking, who have ten acres in that
vicinity for growing garden truck, suf-
fered losses from the storm, as all the
garden truck was practically "ruined.
Mr. De Cew also suffered the loss of a
barn, which was blown down by the
storm.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

June 15, 1911.

PACIFIC COAST.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

Counter trade has been rather quiet,
but funeral work has kept up quite
well. "Wedding decorations commenced
with the first of June and have main-
tained a steady gait, with stock about
equal to the demand. Carnations are
in full crop again and roses, also, ara
in fine form, with elegant canes. Kai-
serins and Carnots are the principal
summer roses here.

Sweet peas, iris and peonies are about
equal to the demand, but, on account
of the unusually cool weather, outside
flowers developed slowly.

Various Notes.

This being the annual rose festival
week, the city is in gala attire and
many strangers are within its gates.
Decorated automobile and carriage pa-
rades are the main feature, and al-
though home talent was applied in most
cases, yet there was occasionally a
chance for the florists to show their
skill. The exhibition of roses was held
at the Armory, where many beautiful
blooms were exhibited and prizes com-
peted for. While the quality was not
up to the standard of former years, on
account of the late season, great credit
was given the rosarians for their ef-
forts to make it a success. In the
decorative plant and cut flower exhibit,
first prize was awarded to the Swiss
Floral Co. and second to Martin &
Forbes.

P. M. Parthemore, of the McFarland
Publicity Service, Harrisburg, Pa., is
here on a special mission during the
festivaj, to secure views and photo-
graphs of choice roses.

C. T. Kipp, of Spokane, is in town,
combining business with pleasure. A.
E. Miller, of Hayden 's Flower Shop,
Tacoma, is also here for a few days.

John Holze, Chas. Walker, F. C.
Smith and Louis Tschunko came over
from Seattle in an auto and are hav-
ing a jolly time. Miss Burns, of Wood-
land Park, and Tom Rhodes, of Walz's
place, are also here.

Frank Clarke, of Clarke Bros., Oak-
land, came up to the festival and to
visit his family after several years'
absence.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The summer dullness has arrived in
genuine shape and everyone seems to
be making an effort to get out of
town. Flowers for school commence-
ments have moved better thig year
than ever before, and the practice of
making much ado iabout graduation
seems to be on the increase. This is
over, however, for this season and we
now have to drop back on wedding dec-
orations and an occasional funeral or-
der. Carnations and roses are not over-
plentiful, but quite sufficient to fill all
requirements. Sweet peas have been
cheaper since Memorial day and they
are practically the only outside flowers
that are in good demand. Spanish
irises are on the wane and are the last
item among the bulbous stock to be
shown for this spring.

The other varieties of gladioli are not

CANTALOUPES FOB MARKET.

The growing of cantaloupes is an im-
portant industry and although there
are some factors influencing the devel-
opment of cantaloupes which are be-
yond control of the grower, large re-
turns are being realized.

According to S. A. Minear, of the
Georgia State College of Agriculture,
experience throughout the United States
shows that the sandy, loam soils are
best suited for the growing of canta-
loupes, but satisfactory results may be
obtained from the lighter soils as well
as the heavier ones.

From one-half to one pound of the

following, mixed thoroughly in the soil

of each hill, will give excellent results:

1,000 pounds acid phosphate.
1,000 pounds cotton seed meal.
250 pounds muriate or potash.

Do not plant cantaloupes closer than
four to six feet. Place eight to twenty
seeds in each hill. Make several plant-
ings in the same hill at intervals of
one or two weeks. Much depends on
thorough cultivation. First cultivate
deeply, but not close enough to the plants
to injure the root system. As the

plants develop and become older the
cultivation should be more shallow, and
farther from the hills. It will be nec-
essary to hoe the hills. This should
be done with skill, as careless hoeing
causes much injury.

Cantaloupes should m|ke a continu-
ous, uniform growth, for when injured
or retarded it is hard for them to rally
and regain the lost ground.

During the warm weather of early
spring the striped cucumber beetles
often appear in great numbers. They
are very hungry at first and exercise
little choice of food plants. After
their appetite becomes satisfied the
beetles are more particular about their
food; then they attack melon vines and
injure them by eating holes in the
leaves. Small yellow eggs, from which
come the worm-like larvae, are laid on
any part of the plant. The larvae live
in moist soil and eat roots and under-
ground stems. Apply air-slaked lime
to the plants as a repellent. Spray
with Bordeaux mixture, to which add
one pound of Paris green to 150 gal-
lons of Bordeaux, or use arsenate of
lead at the rate of two pounds'' Of
lead, two pounds of quick lime to fifty
gallons of water.

Pickers should go over the field each
day, rain or shine, and pull all melons
ready for the market. For shipping
purposes the melon should be well-
netted, grayish green in color and, upon
pressing the stem with the finger,
it should detach easily. Use either
burlap sacks, slung over the shoulder,
or one-half bushel baskets. Have each
picker take one or two rows and worlc
systematically. Transfer the melons to
the packing shed at once 6r put them
where they will not be exposed to the
hot rays of the sun. Cantaloupes must
go on the market in the best condition
possible, and to accomplish this it is
essential to be most careful in han-
dling, picking and hauling, avoiding all
possible chance of bruising.

THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.

A Fine Meeting in Progress.

Much to the disappointment of the
Missouri members, the American Asso-
ciation of Nurserymen took its 1910
convention to Denver after having pre-
viously voted in favor of St. Louis;
they were afraid of the heat. The Mis-
sourians considered this a defamation
and insisted on having the matter put
io the test. This is a delightful week
in St. Louis and the Missourians feel
themselves vindicated, especially as the
convention is at least as large as any
of its thirty-five predecessors. The mid-
dle \vest is especially well represented
and the old guard from the east is pres-
ent as usual. The nurserymen who buy
and sell with each other are always on
the job convention week. They are not
averse to combining pleasure with
;_ -business, but it is a business matter
with them.

,> The convention is being held at the
Southern hotel, with the trades' dis-
-play in the big sample room on the first
,ifiooT. The opening session was set for
^Wednesday morning and the program
"has been arranged for morning sessions
onlj", to allow plenty of time for pri-
vate business and the recreations
planned by the entertainment commit-
tee. Four hundred were present.

Addresses of welcome were made by
Mayor Kriesmann and N. J. Coleman,
of the Convention Bureau, response
being by J. W. Hill, of Des Moines.

President's Address.

President Wl P. Stark has been one
of the most active of the many inde-
fatigable presidents the association has
had and his address consisted of a
practical and scholarly review of busi-
ness conditions, the work of the asso-
ciation and the tasks which lie before
it, comprising in all nearly 7,000 words.
He went in detail into the subject of
federal legislation, with the premise
that nurserymen are a unit in favor of
any government control which will
raise the standard of the nursery trade
or products, or result in the benefit of
fruit growing in any of its broader fea-
tures. He then went on to point out
the difficulties of the situation as they
appear from various points of view.
He concluded: "We as nurserymen
need national and state inspection. Wo
should coojJerate with those interests
to bring about maximum protection
with minimum hardship to all con-
cerned. While the nurserymen may
lose temporarily, it is the consumer
who foots the bill in the end." He
said that the Supreme Court's "light
of reason" might well be applied to
much state legislation.

President Stark spoke of the lack of
standard grades as helping to demoral-
ize prices. Referring to the fact that
the majority of nurserymen are also
orchardists, he spoke for cooperation
between the two interests and urgeji
nurserymen to aid experimental and

demonstrative orchard work, also move-
ments for civic improvement. Speak-
ing of association affairs, he said the
two things needed are more members
and an increased membership fee, offer-
ing also the suggestion of a change in
the date of meeting either to Septem-
ber or January, or both. He urged at-
tention to publicity work on the part
of the association — "associated adver-
tising which will educate." Calling
attention to the usefulness of a per-
manent committee on trade opportuni-
ties, he urged all nurserymen to en-
courage those who are making progress
towards higher standards and to set
their faces against the things which
lead downward, and not up.

The Secretary's Report.

Secretary John Hall presented a re-
port summarized as follows:

It is to be regretted that in large

(President American AMOClation of Nuraerymen.)

as this there are annually recurring fluc-
tuations in the membership. Over forty
of those whose names were on last
year's list failed to renew for the cur-
rent year. Each one of these delin-
quents has received from the secretary
at least two and, in some cases, more
reminders of the importance of renew-
ing. But there is another and a
brighter side to the situation. He early
began to surmise that there would be
a shrinkage and, being somewhat of an
optimist, is not easily discouraged.
Heeding the declaration of Richelieu
that "there is no such thing as fail,"
he at once entered upon a widespread
campaign after new material. This has
resulted in our not only making up the
loss referred to, but in bringing the

enrollment for this year to a point
over thirty in excess of last year's
registration. If members have not al-
ready made an analysis of the mem-
bership roll with reference to repre-
sentation by localities, we commend
such a study as affording considerable
food for thought and some interest as
well. As an illustration I will men-
tion the states having a representation
of six or more, viz.:

Colorado 6 Nebraska 10

Connecticut 0 New Jersey 8

Illinois 25 New York T8

Indiana 15 Ohio 28

Iowa 12 Oklahoma 6

Kansas 21 Oregon 6

Michigan 20 Tennessee 13

Missouri 19 Texas 9

I trust that this reference may
awaken a new interest among members,
even to the creating of a friendly ri-
valry to see which state can next year
make the largest addition to its pres-
ent representation.

THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.

A Fine Meeting in Progress.

^lueh to the disappointnieut of the
Missouri members, the American Asso-
ciation of Xurserymen took its 1910
convention to Denver after having pre-
viousi}- voted in favor of St. Louis;
they were afraid of the heat. The Mis-
sourians considered this a defamation
and insisted on having the matter put
to the test. This is a delightful week
in St. Louis and the Missourians feel
themselves vindicated, especially as the
convention is at least as large as any
of its thirty-five predecessors. Tlie mid-
dle west is especially well represented
and the old guard from the east is pres
ent as usual. The nurserymen who buy
and sell with each other are always on
the job convention week. They are not
averse to combining pleasure with
business, but it is a business matter
with them.

The convention is being held at the
Southern hotel, with the trades' dis-
play in the big sample room on the first
lloor. The opening session was set for
AVednesday morning and the prograu)
lias been arranged for morning sessions
only, to allow plenty of time for pri-
vate business and the recreations
planned by the entertainment commit-
tee. Four hundred were jiresent.

Addresses of welcome were made by
^fayor Kriesmjinn and X. .1. Coleman,
of the Convention Bureau, response
being by .T. W. Hill, of Des :\[oines.

President's Address.

President W. P. Stark has been one
of the most active of the many inde-
fatigable presidents the association has
had and his address consisted of a
practical and scholarly review of busi
ness conditions, the work of the asso-
ciation and the tasks which lie before
it, comprising in all nearly 7,000 words.
He went in detail into the subject of
federal legislation, with the premise
that nurserymen are a unit in favor of
any government control which will
raise the standard of the nursery trade
or products, or result in the benefit of
fruit growing in any of its broader fea
tures. He then went on to point out
the difficulties of the situation as they
appear from various points of view.
He concluded: "We as nurservi'ien
need national and state inspection". We
should coiiiicratc with those interests
to bring about maximum protection
with minimum liardship to all con
eerned. While the nurserymen mav
lose temporarily, it is the consume'r
Avho foots the bill in the end." He
said that the Supreme Court's "light
of reason" might well be applied to
luuch state legislation.

President .Stark spoke of the lack of
standard grades as lielping to demoral
ize prices, deferring to the fact that
The majority of nuiscryuu^n are also
orchardists, he spoke for coiiperation
between the two interests and urged
)iui>erymi'ii to aid experimental and

demonstratix e orchard work, also move-
ments for civic improvement. Speak-

and an increased membership fee, offer-

It is Not Too La^e to Plant

1

DREER'S SELECT POTTED ROSES

We can still supply, in prime condition for immediate planting, strong 5 and 6-inch pots of the following choice lists
of roses. Do not discourage late planting, but supply the stock while your customers are in the huiuor for buying, which
always occurs when roses are in flower in the garden during June. We are prepared to meet this late demand and your
customers will be pleased and will not only gain a season's growth, but from the Hybrid, Tea and other free Howering
varieties they will secure a sufficient number of flowers to not only satisfy them, but also stimulate a desire for future
plantings.

FOR OUTDOOR PLANTING

The Rosea here offered are field grown plants which have been potted into 6 or 6-inch pots (according to the growth
of the variety) during the winter months. They have been stored in cold houses and cold frames and are in the best pos-
sible condition to turn over to your retail customers for outdoor planting, giving an entirely different result from stock
carried over winter in storage. For best results the plants should be shipped in pots ; in this shape they will carry safely
to reasonable distances by freight.

Always An Effective
Advertising Medium

Appears this spring to be giving adver-
tisers even better results than usual.

As witness such letters as these, representing all parts of the country:

Results have been very satisfactory; the cheapest
advertising we have ever done.— Wm. Toole & Sons,
Baraboo, Wis., May 28, 1911.

We are cleaned ! Cleaned ! ! Cleaned ! ! ! And The
Review did it. —Hopkins & Hopkins, Chepachet, R. I.,
May 15, 1911.

Your advertisements bring business. — T. W. Carlton,
Alvin, Texas, May 9, 1911.

Am well pleased with the business brought by my
advertisement in The Review.— T. W. Carlton, Alvin,
Texas, May 18, 1911.

The ONE paper EVERYBODY reads is not an over-
statement in the case of your valuable paper. Tin:
Review.— W. Bay, Titusville, Pa., May 11, 1911.

Your paper makes us get rid of our cuttings faster
than we can produce them. —Thompson Carnation Co.,
Joliet, 111., May4, 1911.

Results have been very satisfactory. — Southside Nur-
series, Chester, Va., May 9, 1911.

Results have been very satisfactory ; stock insufficient to
fill all orders; will use The Review again next season.—
James Ray Geraty, Young Island, S. C, May 29, 1911.

No florist need let surpluses go to waste; nor need he be content with his
limited local field. The Review carries your offer to the whole trade—" from ocean
to ocean and from New Orleans to Winnipeg."

■^w^ « RICHMOND, IND.

J. A. Evans, of the Quaker City
Machine Co., states that he has filed
suit against the Advance Co., of the
same city, for infringement of the pat-
ent covering what is known as the
Twentieth Century ventilator arm,
brought out a few years ago by the
Quaker City Machine Co.

NEW ORLEANS.

The Market.

Flower work and decorations for
commencement exercises and June wed-
dings keep the florists busy. Though
the wedding decorations are not pre-
tentious, they are numerous enough to
make up for the deficiency in lavish-
ness. The home-grown stock of cut
flowers is limited to perennial phloxes,
pyrethrums, roses and asters. As the
extreme heat, both day and night, pre-
vented the aster plants from develop-
ing properly, the flowers came in ear-
lier, but much smaller than in other
years; nevertheless, they come in
handy. Lilium auratum and lancifoli-
um are seen in the show windows of
several florists and help a great deal to
break the monotony of the display, as
well as the arrangement of flower work.

The big stock of all kinds of foliage
plants carried by our local florists is
in a fine condition, strong and clean
grown. The different fern varieties are
doing well and the heat had no bad
effect on them. Several retail florists
who have stores in connection with
their nurseries are starting to grow
orchids, especially cattleyas. They
found out the attractiveness of grow-
ing plants in bloom when used in store
decorations, besides the advantages of
having fresh cut flowers of this kind
on hand in case of immediate neces-
sity.

Several florists intend to renovate
their older greenhouses and some new
ones will be erected during the sum-
mer; yet the building activity is not
especially strong.

Peonies, carnations and roses are still
coming in from the northern markets,
especially Chicago.

Various Notes.

Charles W. Ward, of the Cottage
Gardens, Long Island, at present of
Avery Island, La., entertained about
twenty-five local florists, mostly mem-
bers of the New Orleans Horticultural
Society, on Sunday afternoon, May 28,
on his beautiful yacht, Ethel M. Ward.
The trip, starting at West End, took
its course over Lake Pontchartrain to
Mandeville and up the picturesque
Tchefuncta river. All kinds of re-
freshments were served in abundance.
Everyone enjoyed the novel treat im-
mensely and lauded the generous hos-
pitality of their colleague. It was late
in the evening when the final landing
at the starting point was made. Mr.
Ward intends to make Louisiana his
permanent home and, being an enthu-
siastic lover of nature, he donated to
the state a tract of 17,000 acres in
Vermilion parish for a game preserve.
This is a fine addition to the already
large game preserves controlled by the
state.

On visiting the nursery of M. Cook's
Sons, now under the management of
Henry Cook, the writer noticed a large,
finely grown stock of Olea fragrans, or
Bweet olives, and Magnolia fuscata.

NEW ORLEANS.

(Continued from pace 68.)
Several houses are planted with chrys-
anthemums in the best market varie-
ties— a strong, healthy lot, which, when
the time comes, will surely give a good
account of themselves.

Charles Eble, the local Phoenix Boe-
belenii specialist, has an elegant stock
of about 2,500 vigorous plants, in the
pink of condition, among them many
fine specimens. He intends to take a
large shipment to the Baltimore con-
vention. Lately he laid in a stock of
cattleyas for growing purposes.

Mrs. Carrie Eehm, the proprietor and
manager of the pretty St. Charles ave-
nue nursery, reports a splendid busi-
ness in both the plant and flower line.
She always carries a select stock of
plants and cut flowers.

At C. F. Dormoy's place the writer's
attention was attracted by a beautiful
bed of Brazilian hybrid caladiums,
raised from seeds, the product of the
hybridization of several fine varieties
on his place. Among some other new
plant specimens was noticed a single
red flowering hibiscus, a cross between
Hibiscus schizopetalus and a white one;
the flowers are bright, graceful and
most attractive. Several beds planted
with large flowering daisies and py-
rethrums were loaded with flowers.

R. E.

Hebron, Neb. — Mrs. M. F. Lindsey,
who has built up a prosperous business,
says that the demand is increasing
steadily. "People want the best," she
adds, "and are willing to pay good
prices for the best; even geranium
plants have to be the choicest va-
rieties. ' *

COLUMBUS, O.

The Market.

The extremely hot weather we have
had lately has been hard on stock, both
in the houses and outdoors. Every-
thing is burning up outside, as we have
had little rain, with the mercury around
100 degrees in the shade. A few days
more without rain will leave crops
badly crippled. It is the hottest
weather ever known here_ at this date.

Eoses have been extremely poor, as
they are almost burned up. "While quite
a few are coming in, the quality is
such that they are hard to move at any
pric6. We expect some stock shortly
from rested plants, when we hope the
quality will be better. Carnations are
holding their own better than anything
else; great quantities are coming in
and the demand for them is heavy, ow-
ing to the poor quality of roses, etc.
Some growers are beginning to tear out
their carnations and that will cut down
the supply. Sweet peas are not plenti-
ful and tile quality of most of them is
poor, though there are some good ones
among them. There is a good call for
valley, owing to the large number of
weddings.

The plant season is about over and
everything was cleaned up nicely. Some
growers say they have nothing left for
stock and are looking for young stock
to replenish their supply. There are
still a few stragglers coming in late
for porch boxes, etc., but a few days
more will see that line of work at an
end.

Various Notes.

A new flower store has been opened
on South Fourth street, in the market
district. The store is run under the
name of Howard & Co., and they are
handling mostly cut flowers.

Sherman Stephens reports heavy busi-
ness in bedding stock, vases, etc.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is tear-
ing out some of the carnations and ex-
pects to replant part of the carnation
range in the next two weeks.

HOW ABOUT YOUR EMPTY BENCHES?

After Decoration Day you have empty benches. Will it pay you to have
them empty? Take a few minutes to think and consider which will pay the
best. Chrysanthemums? No, I know something better. I plant a bench or
-two with asters, in July, and in August I cut them. That gives me time to re-
fill my benches with a fine lot of fall and holiday plants, such as cyclamen,
ferns and poinsettias, roses and other plants suitable for my fall business. I
am going to write an order right away to Godfrey Aschmann, Philadelphia,
for his GIANT CREGO ASTER. It is the best early branching cut aster in the world.

Yes, we have it for sale in four separate colors ; ^,000 of them in white,
purple, rose and pink, very strong plants, 2>4-inch pots, $3.00 100; $26.00 1000.

BALTIMOBE.

The Market.

Business has been dull in cut flower
lines, but the plantsmen report an in-
creased demand for stock and a ten-
dency toward more diversity than is
common. Persons who never had flow-
ers in their gardens before are plant-
ing this year. The geranium takes
the lead in popularity. In fact, more
geraniums are sold in this city than
all the other bedding plants put to-
gether.

All kinds of cut flowers, regardless
of grade, are a drug on the market.
Boses can be had at prices that would
insult any grower to receive as re-
turns. It can be said that there is
no price, because there are so many
flowers to be had and so little demand
that large quantities are left unsold.

Various Notes.

The souvenir program for the S.A.F.
convention is well under way. It is
to be a handsome publication. Ad-
vertising matter is coming in daily
and wiU be in the printers' hands
shortly.

Fred. C. Bauer and wife sail for
Holland, Tuesday, June 13, on the
Holland- American line, and will be
away about seven weeks. Mrs. Bauer
was tendered a supper at one of our
prominent river resorts by the ladies'
bowling team of Washington and Bal-
timore. Mrs. Bauer is one of the star
bowlers on the local team. Among
the ladies who attended were Mrs.
Schaffer, Mrs. Cooke and Mrs. Sim-
mons, of Washington; Mrs. Boone,
Mrs. Klein, Mrs. Ferry, Mrs. Quick,
Mrs. Moss and Miss Carey Kapp, of
the Baltimore team. After supper
they bowled three games. Q.

New Haven, Conn. — At the green-
houses of Charles Munro, on Townsend
avenue, another house will be devoted,
it is said, to the Dark Pink Killarney
and Taft roses during the coming sea-
son. Oscar Johnson is the grower.

Sycamore, HI. — William Swinbank 's
establishment has recently been noted
as one of the busiest places in town.
There was an especially heavy demand
for greenhouse stock for Memorial day,
owing to a shortage of outdoor flowers.

STAMFORD, CONN.

The regular meeting of the West-
chester and Fairfield Horticultural So-
ciety was held in Eoyal Arcanum hall
on the evening of June 9, President
Stuart occupying the chair and eighty-
five members being present. Two life,
two honorary and nine active members
were elected. The preliminary schedule
of the fall show and copies of the
revised by-laws were distributed. To
members not present copies will be
mailed. President Stuart appointed a
committee of seven to take charge of
the floral display in connection with
Wonderland, to be held in Stamford
June 14 to 17 for the benefit of the Day
Nursery. The society will hold its an-
nual outing and games next month,
and the executive committee was in-
structed to make arrangements and re-
port at the July meeting.

For the exhibits of the evening the
judges made the following awards:
High commendation to Charles Adcock
for lettuce; to James Stuart for vase
of hybrid aquilegia; to Carrillo & Bald-
win for plant of Dendrobium thyrsi-
florum; vote of thanks to P. W. Popp
for vase of Spiraea Queen Alexandra,
and to A. S. Peterson and James Aitch-
ison for peonies. Several new members
were introduced and were much im-
pressed by the large attehdance and
fine exhibits. J. B. M.

CHARLOTTE, MICH.

William Breitmeyer, a brother of
Fred Breitmeyer and of ex-Mayor Breit-
meyer, of Detroit, has decided to re-
enter the florists' trade and has chosen
this town as his location. He has pur-
chased four acres of land at the corner
of Harris avenue and Lincoln street
and will erect three houses, each 22 x
150 feet. He has placed an order for
a carload of glass, to be delivered July
1, and expects to have about 15,00(J
square feet of glass. He will enter
both the retail and wholesale fields
in cut flowers, and before the end of the
year will have from $10,000 to $12,000
invested.

Greenhouse Heating.

A MICHIGAN ADDITION.

I wish to build an addition, 22 z 65
feet. The side walls will consist of
thirty inches of concrete and forty-
eight inches of glass. The height to
the ridge will be about twelve feet.
The house will be slightly protected.
I wish to maintain a temperature of 60
degrees in zero weather. How many
2-inch pipes will be necessary to heat
this house with hot water f What size
and number of flow pipes will be neces-
sary? Will a fire-box boiler, seven
and one-half feet long and twenty-eight
inches in diameter, set one foot lower
than the lowest pipe, heat this house
and another, 12 x 50 feet, without
crowding it? E. F. C.

To heat a house such as described
to a temperature of 60 degrees in zero
weather will require three 2V^-inch
flow pipes and fifteen 1%-inch returns.
Two of the flows can be on the side
walls and the other under the ridge.
To get the best circulation, run the
flow pipes at a slight fall to the farther
end of the house and there connect
with the returns, which can be arranged
in three or more coils. To readily heat
the two houses, the boiler shoiild have
about five feet of grate surface.

OBEENHOUSES AND BESIDENCE.

Please give me information as to the
piping of my houses and the size of
boiler that I shall need. I wish to
use a sectional boiler, so that I can
add to it when necessary.

I have four houses, each fifty feet
long. House No. 1 is ten feet wide.
The south wall is four feet high, double
sheeted and weather boarded. The
north wall is five feet high, double
sheeted and protected by other houses.
The height to the ridge is eight feet
and the roof is one-third span. I
want this house heated to 60 degrees.
House No. 2, north of No. 1, is four-
teen feet wide, with side walls five
and five and one-half feet high, double
sheeted and protected by other houses.
It has an even-span roof and is ten
feet high to the ridge. It must have a
temperature of 60 degrees. House No.
3 is twenty feet wide, with S^^-foot
and 6-foot double sheeted walls. Its
height to the ridge is eleven feet. I
want this house heated to 55 degrees.
No. 4 is a propagating house, six feet
wide; it is a lean-to, built against the
north side of house No. 3. The north
wall is four feet high and double sheet-
ed; it is entirely unprotected. All
the houses have glass in the ends, down
to four feet from the ground. There
are doors in each end of all the houses.

All the houses run east and west
and the boiler pit is at the southeast
comer of house No. 1. I wish to run an
underground pipe to my residence,
which is only twenty feet from the
boiler, and heat a long hall in the

residence. The hall is 10 x 45 feet and
eleven feet to the ceiling. It has two
exposed doors and two oval windows.
How many radiators will be needed
to heat this hallf -

I wish to use 2-inch flows and IV^-
inch returns in each house. House No.
1 has now one 2-inch flow and ten
1%-inch returns; No. 2 has one 2-inch
flow and eight 1%-inch returns. Nos. 3
and 4 were built this season and are
not yet piped. I expect to build an-
other house in the fall, the same length
as the present ones. In this part of
Tennessee the outside temperature
seldom falls below zero. J. F. C.

It is difficult to estimate the radia-
tion required to heat the hallway, from
the data given. Two or three radiators
should be used and these should have
a combined radiating surface composed
of as many square feet as there are
feet of exposed glasa*, plus the number
of feet of wooden wall space exposed
to outside air, or one-half the wall
space if the rooms are not directly ex-
posed to cold air, and plus the cubic
contents of the room.

While it would be better to use 2%-
inch pipe for the flows and 2-inch for
the returns, good results can be se-
cured with the sizes mentioned. By
using two 2-inch flow pipes, not more
than six 1%-inch returns will be needed
in house No. 1. In house No. 2 use
two flows and eight 1%-inch returns;
house No. 3 should have three 2-inch
flows and ten 1%-inch returns and
house No. 4 should have one 2-inch
flow and four l^^-inch returns. To

Temperatures easily maintained; fires only once at night

We have at present 15.000 sq. ft. of glass and think this boiler will take care of 25,000 sq.
ft. of glass at 52° in greenhouses. We have no trouble in maintaining proper temperatures
and fire but onoe at nisrbt. We put in the piping system according to your plan in three
new houses. The two old bouses we left the way they were, which caused us some trouble.
We win change pipes this summer according to your plan and will then have no trouble.
Tour plplns plan is fine, and the Generator ^rorks \ireU; in fact, we could not have
done without it, on account of the piping in the old houses.

heat the four houses described, the
boiler should have a rating of about
3,000 square feet of radiating surface.

TWO DEFECTS IN PIPINQ.

Will you kindly tell me what is the
trouble with my heating system!
Every time the pipes get warm the
water overflows at the expansion tank.
I have been troubled in this way ever
since I put the system in last winter.
Now, when there is no fire in the boiler,
the sun heat causes the expansion tank
to overflow — that is, when the pipes
get warm with sun heat.

The greenhouse is 40 x 80 feet. The
side walls are four feet high; the lower
half is double boarded %nd the upper
half is glass. The house runs from
northeast to southwest. The northeast
gable is boarded; the southwest gable
is glass. The boiler is a round Ma-
honey and is guaranteed to heat the
house. Two 4-inch flows run from the
boiler to the glass gable and there con-
nect with a 2-inch reducing elbow
which feeds four 2-inch returns. These,
in turn, drop by means of a 2-inch
branch tee into a 2-inch return to the
boiler. Do you think I put in enough
2inch pipes! One coil of pipes never
got warm, while all the others were
boiling. I am located in Rhode Island.

J. J. K.

As water expands when heated, it is
not strange that the expansion tank
overflows, even from the heat of the
sun. If the coils are alike, there is
no reason why the water should not
circulate evenly in both if it does in
one. It is possible that the grade in
one of the coils is such that the air
has pocketed and this would prevent
the circulation of the water.

There are, however, two serious de-
fects in the heating system. One is a
deficiency in the amount of the radia-
tion, and the other is that the 2-inch
connections to the coils are altogether
too small. For a temperature of 50 to
55 degrees, a house 40x80 feet should
have eighteen 2-inch returns, in addi-
tion to the two 4-inch flow pipes. A
better way would be to have four 2V2-
inch flow pipes and arrange the re-
turns in four coils of four 2-inch pipes
each. If preferred, the four flows can
be connected to the boiler by means of
two 4-inch pipes, but, whatever the size
of the flows, the returns should be of
the same capacity. Two 3-inch pipes
could be used for both.

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 i^arantee to keep the air spaces of the

MARTIN ANTI-FRICTION ROCKING GRATE

open longer under may conditions 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 Relnberg. Emil Buettner, Bassett & Washburn. WIetor Bros., Adam
Zander, Sinner Bros., Albert Dickinson Co., and many others.

A NEW VENTILATOR ARM.

American greenhouses are the most
perfectly built of any in the world;
indeed, they are marvels of mechanical
simplicity and perfection. The prog-
ress has been steady and has by no
means ceased, though the Advance Co.,
Richmond, Ind., believes it will be dif-
ficult to make further improvements in
arms for operating ventilating sashes.
It has recently procured a patent on
the clamp parts that fasten around the
shafting pipe, and it has a patent pend-
ing on the construction of the rod
bracket which holds the two 8-inch
cross rods and carries the sash rod on
what it calls its new twistless arm.

ik

This illustration shows the arm in
a right angle position, where the Ad-
vance Co. says an elbow arm exerts
the greatest twist on the shafting pipe.
It says that in the new arm it has
eliminated the twist when the arm is
in this position by reducing the dis-
tance from the center of the shafting
pipe to the center of the rod rivet with-
out reducing the throw.

When the arm is in a closed position
the distance from the center of the
shafting pipe to the center of the rod
rivet is eight inches, or the same as in
the elbow arm. For the new arm in
this position the Advance Co. claims
great rigidity and ease in starting.

When the arm ia in the open posi-

The best Labor Saving

device on the place

Charles Moebius, West Toledo, Ohio, writes us :

"We find the Skinner System the best labor saving device we
have on the place, and in fact we could not do without it. It will
water the (ground evenly and will not cake the soil. We think the
man away out of date that uses a hose, as he will not be able to grow
such fine stuff without your watering device."

This is but one of hun-

dreds of similar letters we
have gotten from florists all
over the country.

tion it has the same distance from the
center of the shafting pipe to the cen-
ter of the rod rivet as it has when it
is closed, namely eight inches. The
manufacturer claims great rigidity
when the new arm is in this position
and states that it makes no strain on
the machine or other parts of the ap-
paratus to hold the sash open.

In the construction of the new arm
there are two duplicate castings riveted
together by a center rivet to form the
part of the arm that clamps to the
shafting pipe. One bolt holds the arm
securely to the shafting pipe, as the
rivet that holds the two clamped parts
together also forms a hinge in the
proper place on the opposite side of
the pipe. After the two clamp parts
are together, an 8-inch rod is fastened
to each near the outer edge. The rods
are then crossed and fastened to the
rod bracket, which carries the rod that
is afterward fastened to the sash. The
manufacturer says that every small de-
tail has been carefully looked after,
even down to the margin of allowance
providing for rust corruptions, which
will make the arm free and active even
after years of service.

ALBANY, N. Y.

At its last meeting the Albany Flo-
rists ' Club discussed plans for the hold-
ing of a clambake late in August. The
completion of the arrangements was
entrusted by President F. A. Danker
to a committee composed of Lewis
Schaefer, Frederick Henkes and Patrick
Hyde.

Frederick Goldring invited the club
to meet at his place, Font Grove, Slin-
gerlands, on the evening of July 6, and
the invitation was accepted.

A letter was read from Mr. and Mrs.
Patrick Hyde, thanking the club for
the gift of a Morris chair as a wedding
present.

CHILLICOTHE, O.

This city was visited on Monday
evening, June 5, by the most destruc-
tive hail storm in years and great dam-
age was done to local greenhouses.

At the McKellar Greenhouses, of
which Louis Elsass is proprietor, about
2,000 panes of single-strength glass
in the older greenhouses were broken,
though only 150 of the double-strength
lights gave way. The loss was covered
by insurance.

The Chillicothe Floral Co. was more
fortunate, though the hail at their place
was equally severe. About 250 panes
were shattered, mostly 8 x 10 panes in
the palm house, and no insurance was
carried. The greenhouses of John
Griesheimer, the market gardener, on
South Hickory street, were also dam-
aged, a large number of panes being
smashed. No insurance was carried on
his glass.

The Market.

Trade last week was quite satisfac-
tory, as a number of large wedding
decorations helped to liven matters a
little.

The extremely hot weather is having
a telling effect on the roses and carna-
tions and they look more like August
blooms than June. This is especially
true of Brides and Maids, as TTjUar-
ney, Beauties, My Maryland and Kai-
serin are of much better quality.

Some good lilies and gladioli are to
be had; also valley and orchids. The
plant business has dropped quite a lit-
tle since Decoration day, owing to the
hot weather. In most cases the plant
trade was satisfactory this year.

Various Notes.

John Bieman is on the sick list. Mr.
Eieman is getting a little more than
his share, as he was laid up in bed
with pneumonia for eight weeks this
spring. It is rheumatism this time.

The State Florists' Association held
its regular monthly meeting last week,
with about twenty members present.
The main topic was the annual picnic.
President Gause appointed a committee
composed of Sidney Smith, Alfred Mar-
shall, Chas. Pahud and Fred Hukreide
to take charge of this picnic, and it is
expected to be the best ever.

Hartje & Elder bought 250 boxes of
glass with the intention of adding to
their range this summer, but they have
decided to defer action till next year.

Most of the retailers started their
early closing at noon last Sunday. This
is to be in effect until September.

Albert Pittet left last week for a
visit to Texas.

A. Wiegand & Sons started this week
to tear down one of their greenhouses
and rebuild it.

Columbia Conservatory is the new
name for the greenhouses operated by
Sidney Smith at Thirty-eighth street
and Senate avenue. This is the place
formerly owned by Baur & Smith. Mr.
Smith has the best wishes of the craft
in his new venture.

Eoepke & Eieman have been cutting
quantities of fine Easter lilies.

Frank Hasselman says his bedding
business was fine this season. He in-
creased his bedding stock this year and
it cleaned up well. H. L. W.

Des Moines, la.— The Iowa Seed Co.
is building another greenhouse at
Thirty-first and Crocker streets.

and Beauties; everything else shows the
eflFect of the heat.

Various Notes.

Benjamin Elliott is the latest florist
to buy an automobile, so I guess the
flower business in this city is not as
bad as it might be, as nearly all the
florists of any consequence are driving
automobiles of their own.

P. S. Eandolph has let a contract to
the Lord & Burnham Co. for seven new
plant houses, to be erected on his new
place at Sandy Creek.

The Pittsburg Florists' Club met
Tuesday evening, June 6, and notwith-
standing the extreme heat had a good
attendance. The subject of the eve-
ning was peonies, but not a large flower
was in evidence. However, there was
a fine display of shrubbery and herba-
ceous flowers, which were much enjoyed.

It is reported that outdoor roses are
not as good as usual. Hoo-Hoo.

WeUesley Farms, Mass.— E. J. Shay-
lor & Son, the peony specialists, had the
princijJal exhibit of peonies at the re?
cent show of the Worcester County
Horticultural Society, in Horticultural
hall, Worcester.

SUMMER USES FOB SWEET PEAS.

In Church or Large Residence.

Sweet peas are abundant these sum-
mer days, and so we can plan unstinted
window displays and can lavish them
in our decorations, with the aim of
producing deep masses of color and
rainbow variations. "What about a
sweet pea decoration for a large resi-
dence or church? In such a case the
individual beauty of the flowers is
lost and failure will be the result unless
striking effects are secured.

For a garden scene mow a row of
sweet pea plants their full length, sup-
port and all. Outline a chancel rail
or platform, packing damp moss along
the lower stems. At the extreme ends,
on the right and left, erect a tall pil-
lar wrapped in fabric to match the
color of the decoration. From the top
of the poles hang clusters of sweet pea
baskets, generously filled as to the
edges and sides. Back of the pulpit
platform or chancel, wainscot with the
hedge of sweet pea vines and erect
pillars, decorated with the clusters of
baskets, on each side of the altar.
Drape the altar with a blanket of peas.
Along the wainscoting weave in thou-
sands of extra cut peas to heighten the
coloring. Don 't do this work too early,
thus allowing the flowers time to wilt.

Suspended Over the Chancel.

Another: Make scores of balls of
sweet peas and hang them as you
would Chinese lanterns over the chan-
cel, low. at the sides, high in the cen-
ter, and lower again at the rear.
Watch the lights and don't let the
shadows spoil the pink cloud of balls,
for you will find that pink is one of
the best evening colors. If you wish
to introduce green, shower the balls
from their tops with fine strands of
smilax. Group palms that have finely
cut foliage, such as cocos or phoenix,
around the chancel rail and elevate im-
mense balls, with showers, on pillars at
right and left, bo that they will not
obscure the view.

One more: Make a tapestry of heavy
garlands of sweet peas. Suspend this
from the ceiling over the platform or
chancel. Intersperse electric lights.
Bank the top of the rail with long,
narrow pans of sweet peas. Make a
screen of sweet peas on the rear wall,
high enough to appear to join the
lower margin of the tapestry, so that
you can stand in the audience and see
a solid bank from floor to ceiling.

These schemes can be adapted to the
decoration of a large residence as well.
A hall, back parlor or alcove can be
decorated as the ceremony room in
much the same way as the chancel.

In Window Displays.

Parts of the foregoing schemes may
also be reproduced for window dis-
plays, with the addition of wild or

fancy grasses. The common redtop
grass can be combined tellingly with
white, lavender, cream, salmon or red
varieties.

The window may be occupied by a
rustic summer house, with sweet peas
growing (?) luxuriantly close against
its outside walls, a great bowl of them
on the window-sill, and a hatful left
on the doorstep with the shears lying
beside it. Add a few ferns, with moss-
covered pots, in the foreground.

A casket cover of all sweet peas is
within the reach of almost anyone at
this season. Practically the only real
expense is the work, and in the con-
struction it is well to combine the

Penn Educates the Bostonians.

It has been said that in Boston, city
of erudition, the brides carry prayer-
BOOKS instead of bouquets — but all
this is to be changed. Penn is doing it,
and the means employed is newspaper
advertising. It is related that so suc-
cessful has been the Penn advertising
campaign that already one of Boston's
daughters has made an appointment to
carry a Penn shower bouquet at the
liead of a party which is to meet one
of the Penn brothers before . a certain
altar late in June. Is it any wonder
that, when Henry Penn says the June
advertising campaign is producing
* ' great results, ' ' William nods his head
in perfect agreement? It is to be Will-
iam's wedding.

The Penn brothers have been the
leaders in retail flower store advertis-
ing in the east. They have kept con-
tinuously at it for the last twO:. or three
years and they are continutjlly increas-
ing their advertising. If any better
evidence could be wanted that they
find it is the right line for them to ■,
work on, that evidence is found in the
fact that their present store at 43
Bromfield street, Boston, wiil no longer
contain theLK. business; the store next
door is being added, therelay more than
doubling their facilities.

The Strongest Wedding Ads.

Neither Boston ndr any othpr city
ever has seen so strong a Campaign of
wedding work advertising as the Penns
are doing this month. From the begin-
ning of their advertising they have
featured their shower bouquet and it
has so increased the sale for the article
that this season's puolicity is much
stronger than ever before — stronger
both from the point of view of space
used and stronger with respect to the
striking character of the advertise-
ments, several of which are herewith
reproduced in reduced space. The dis-
play on this page occupied a space two
columns wide and half a column deep
in the Boston American, where it had
nearly 400,000 circulation. The other
advertisements are reproduced from
the Boston Post, where the daily circu-
lation is close to 350,000, and the Sun-
day circulation practically 300,000 cop-
ies. Such circulations are not cheap,
but they are effective. The single
column advertisements were each a
half column deep and the white on
black display reproduced on page 9 was
three columns wide and more than half
a page deep. This advertisement may
fairly be designated as the most strik-
ink display ever published in the in-
terest of the sale of wedding flowers.

To quote H. S. Eogers, the member
of the Penn staff who looks after the
advertising details, the results are
"great." The campaign was planned
to begin with June and run through the
month, an advertisement appearing
every other day.

Must Be Backed by Good Methods.

"Good advertising is a good thing,"
continued Mr. Eogers. "We have
made a careful study of the results
obtained and find that we get what we
go after^sales. We are well satisfied
that advertising has been a large fac-
tor in establishing our business and
developing it to its present propor-
tions, not forgetting that good adver-
tising, unless backed up by a good

A Bofton Retailer's NewsfMiper Ad.

Boston daily papers, we decided to
start a series of ads that would bring
our stock and our store conspicuously
before the best classes in New England.
We therefore selected the paper that
had the largest circulation and con-
tracted to take a good sized space daily
for quite a period.

Concentrating the Effort.

"W<e didn't go into it blindly; we
considered all the available papers,
basing our choice on circulation among
the kind of people we wanted to reach.
You always can pick the best adver-
tising medium by noting the amount of
advertising carried. The paper that
prints the most advertising calculated
to interest the same people you are
after will always be the best adver-
tising medium for you. That large
volume of advertising is a summing up
of experience paid for by men who
want to get the most their money will
buy.

Bight Copy a Big Factor.

"We never use the same ad twice.
Doubtless any advertisement is bet-
ter than none, but the right copy is
one important part of securing results.
Advertising may be effective and yet
be dignified. Almost always, adver-
tising, if written by the advertiser,
will reflect the advertiser's personality,
just as his store does. If prepared
outside, care should be taken that the
advertisement be in harmony with the
character of the store. We are strong
believers in the use of illustrations;
every ad carries a cut and the name ap-
pears in the form x>t a trade-mark that
also appears on boxes, tags and sta-
tionery.

Covering the Seasons.

"When we started our series of ads
we laid out a plan of changes of copy
to cover practically all features of the
stock and services of a flower store.
As the principal feature of our adver-
tising we selected the Penn shower
bouquet. The copy was written to ex-
ploit the flowers, the facilities and the
service and we soon noticed a tremend-
ous increase in this particular line of
work. This year, encouraged by our
previous success, we mapped out a more
costly campaign, using larger spaces,
but taking good care to see that the
spaces were well filled — that is, that
the copy was good.

Keeping Everlastingly At It.

' ' Not only has our business increased
steadily and considerably since we be-
gan newspaper advertising, but we no-
ticed an increase in the orders received
from a distance. Letters are received
daily from all parts of New England,
many of them ordering the shipment
or local Boston delivery of advertised
articles and many asking prices on
other articles. We have had a great
deal of business from towns that could
have only been reached by newspaper
and some of the orders have been first-
class wedding decorations.

"We believe advertising affords the
best method there is of winning cus-
tomers. We think our experience
proves that the best results are to be
had from newspapers, and from their
regular use; we do not believe in spas-
modic advertising — in that case each
ad is like starting all over again, and
the cumulative value of advertising is
one of its most important benefits; as
one well-known advertiser says: 'Keep-
ing everlastingly at it brings suc-
cess.' "

checking up its canceled checks. There
is record of one florist who did busi-
ness without a bank account, paying
out the currency he received and hold-
ing the checks, doubtless on the theory
that the checks, requiring his endorse-
ment before passing on, were less likely
to be lost. But if a check is held by
the payee, he takes all the risks witli
it; the courts repeatedly have ruled
that if a check is not presented for
payment within a reasonable time, any
Joss which may ensue falls not on the
one who gave the check, but on the one
who failed to cash it promptly. As to
what constitutes a reasonable time for
cashing a check, the courts have said
that a man is using due diligence if
he presents the check at the bank on
which it is drawn, or deposits it in his
own bank, on the day following that on
which the check was received. And
now the Supreme Court of New York
state has ruled that where a check is
thus deposited for collection, such
further time is to be allowed as is
necessary for the check to pass through
the clearing house in the usual course
of business. If the bank on which
the check is drawn refuses to pay the
check when presented within such rea-
sonable time, the maker of the check
still is bound for the debt, but if a
greater time has elapsed, the maker of
the check, if he can show that its non-
payment was due to no fault of his,
will be able to fix the loss upon the
one who held up the check.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

Secretary's Bulletin.
At the mid-Lent meeting of the So-
ciety of American Flotists the follow-
ing appropriations were made for the
year 1911:

Tariff work of Legislative Committee |100.00

General work of Legislative Committee... 100.00

Entomologist 50.00

rathologlst ."W.OO

Botanist 80.00

Annual badges 75.00

Clerical assistance to Secretary at annual

convention 50.00

Clorfcal assistance to secretary at ad-
journed meeting 25.00

Sports Committee .50.00

President's messenger and assistants 25.00

Or so much of such amounts as might be needed.

Attention should be called to the
work of the entomologist, pathologist
and botanist. Prof. H. H. Whetzel, of
Cornell University, is the pathologist
and has taken up the study of certain
plant diseases, upon which he will re-
port at the August meeting. Dr. S. A.
Forbes, the entomologist, being unable
this past year to give the work the
proper amount of time, placed it in
the hands of J. J. Davis, who presented
the report given on pages 34 to 42 of
the twenty-sixth annual report. This
is well worth studying. The botanist.
Prof. J, F. Cowell, is always ready to
help the members on any botanical
question. I call your attention to the
work of these oflBcers, as it is well
worth your support.

At the same meeting, on motion by
Mr. Pierson, seconded by Mr. Kasting,
the adoption of the following amend-
ment was recommended to the society:

To amend Article IV, Section 2, to read as
follows:

Sec. 2. Fees and Assessments. — Any eligible
person may become a member of the society on
the payment of $5, and such payment shall cover
the annual dues for the balance of the calendar
year. The annual dues shall be $3 per year, pay-
able In advance on the first day of January. Any
person may become a life member on payment of
$50 and be exempt from all further assesementa.

The object of this amendment is to

make it possible for any person to be-

come a life member of the S. A. F. on
the payment of $50, irrespective of the
fact that he is already a member or
not.

A rate of a fare and three-fifths on
the certificate plan has been granted
by the Trunk Line Association. The
New England, the Central and the
Eastern Canadian are still to be heard
from. Further information regarding
rates will appear later.

Department of Registration.

As no objections have been filed,
public notice is hereby given that the
registration of the roses, Euby Queen,
May Queen, Pearl Queen and Royal
Cluster, by the Conard & Jones Co., of
West Grove, Pa., becomes complete.

ANTS ON LAWNS.

Can you tell us what to do for ants
on lawns and around flower bedsf

E. & B.

Mix up powdered borax four parts,
fine sugar one part. Let it stand for
ten days before using it. Then lay
it in little heaps about the places in-
fested by the ants. Or take a little
potassium cyanide, break it up fine
and mix with twenty times the amount
of sugar. Allow it to stand for
twenty-four hours before using. Re-
member, however, that cyanide of
potassium is a deadly poison and so
must be handled carefully. It should
also be placed in holes, so that no
children, animals or birds can get it.

SUGGESTIONS

Sowing Late Annuals.

"Wjhile asters and sweet peas are the
two annuals par- .eitcellence for the
average country florist, there are quite
a number of others which are useful
for cutting, a number of them also being
excellent in design work. Probably there
are some vacant plots of ground
where a row or two of these a,nnuals
can be sown. Among suitable varieties
to sow are: Poppies, of which the Shir-
ley is the most beautiful; larkspurs in
several colors; lupines, darkiag, -Gypso-
phila elegans, candytuft, alyssum,
mignonette and schizanthus.

Cosmps.

While cosmos will flower well before
sharp frost arriVes in the warmer
states, in .mor^ northerly sections only
the early flowering types are of much
use. That beautiful variety. Lady
Lenox, in some states does not flower
at all before Ijeing cut down. As these
cosmos flowers are large and of a lovely
pink color, it pays to handle a batch
^ in pots. It is not advisable to dig up
plants six or seven feet high in the
fall, as is sometimes done, but take
cuttings or sow seeds now. Pinch once
or twice to keep bushy. Grow in pots
plunged outdoors until frost threatens.
Then place in a cool house and you will
get a fine lot of bloom, which many
buyers will prefer to chrysanthemums.
These in(|pi^-grown flowers are also of
superior e$ze and qualify to outdoor
ones and bring a good price in the
market.

Poinsettlas.

This is the time to propagate a
goodly batch of poinsettias. Such as
are rooted now will produce bracts a
foot or more in diameter and be suit-
able either for benching or making up
later into large pans. A common error
is to leave cuttings too long in the
sand after being rooted. "When this
is done the roots, which are brittle,
are sure to be broken more or less.
Pot off just as soon as roots have
formed. Keep close and moist for a
few days. Then air more freely. If con-
venient and suitable greenhouse bench
space is not at disposal, spread a coat-
ing of coal ashes in a coldframe and
grow them there. ''Do not leave cut-
tings too long on the plants. Those
rubbed off with a heel, which are short
and stocky, root the best. If you have
a good many cuttings to make, dip
them in cold water to prevent wilting.
Do the same with any other cuttings
which are liable to be lying around for
an hour or more. A cutting once badly
wilted loses much of its vitality.

Winter Qeraniums.

Late rooted geranium cuttings in-
tended for winter flowering should be
fit to go into 3^4 -inch or 4-inch pots,
and stronger -ones into 5-inch pots.
Avoid using a rich soil, as it only
causes the plants to make a soft, rank

growth. What is needed is short, firm
and stocky shoots. Any manure used
should be thoroughly decayed and a
dash of fine bone will prove beneficial.
Pot firmly and stand on a bench where
they can get the full sun. If ben«h
space ia at a premium, coldframes will
answer just as well. The plants are
better if not exposed to the weather.
Keep the strong shoots pinched back
until September, after which time they
may be allowed to grow as they will.

Oloxinias.

Gloxinias are among the most beauti-
ful and useful of summer-flowering
plants and in rooms or on well shaded
and protected piazzas last quite a long
time in flower. They must have no
direct sun, or the fohage will soon bo
scorched, but at the same time a too

dense shade will make the flower spikes
weak, so that the flowers will not stand
up erect. It is also unnecessary to
grow them in a high temperature. At
this season any ordinary greenhouse
will be suitable. Keep water off the
foliage as much as possible and ele-
vate the best plants on inverted pots.
Spring-sown seedlings will flower well
in 5-inch pots. Give them a light but
moderately rich soil, and do not pot
firmly. In order to get good tubers for
another season it is an excellent plan
to plant out a number of seedlings in
coldframes. Make the soil light but
rich, adding a good proportion of sand.
Keep some air on all the time and
shade the sashes. Planted out in this
way the plants will make a really sur-

prising growth and produce foliage and
flowers much finer than can be had in
pots. They will also make tubers
double the size of the pot-grown
ones. These plants can be gradually
rested, lifted and stored in flats in
time to utilize the frames for winter

crops.

Rambler Boses.

Any rambler roses which are being
grown in pots should now be plunged
in the open aif, as the liability to mil-
dew is much greater. If they are kept
under glass, the shoots they are pro-
ducing should not be allowed to ramble
over the ground, but should be tied up
to stout stakes. Treated thus the
wood will become much better ripened
and more suitable for early forcing.
In the case of field-grown stock it will
be noticed that the pink ramblers make
a large number of shoots, far more
than can be left on when grown in
pots. It is a good plan to cut out
all the weaker ones, leaving four to
six to each plant.

Crotona.

At this season, when the propi'grxt-
ing bench is little used, is a good time
to increase the stock of crotons. Given
heat and moisture, with the necessary
shade, every cutting should root.
Plants which have grown somewhat
tall and leggy can also be readily
propagated by means of ringing, in
the same way as the common rubber
plant, Picus elastica, is increased. All
that is necessary is to partly cut
through the stem below a leaf joint,
^ush a toothpick in to keep the cut
open, then tie a bunch of sphagnum or
other moss around the cut and keep
it constantly moist. In a warm, damp
atmosphere the moss will soon be a
mass of roots, when the tops can be
cut off and potted. In this way excel-
lent plants can be had in a short time^
with foliage right down to the pota.

Crotons and all other foliage plants
will econ become full of mealy bug
and scale if the hose is not freely
used among them at this season. Plenty
of water properly directed from the
hose will, however, take care of any
of these pests. A spray nozzle is neces-
sary, one which can be used below the
leaves, and this being at command
there is no excuse for mealy bug being
found on them.

Seasonable Repairs.

Throwing out carnations and other
crops will now occupy considerable
time. Now, while the houses are
empty, is the time to attend to any
necessary painting and glazing; then
repairing or rebuilding benches should
be attended to without delay. Any
changes in the piping and heating are
best made during July and August, as
where roses are grown it pays to use a
little steam up until the end of June,
and the nights by the middle of Sep-
tember get so cool that a little arti-
ficial heat on damp days and cold
nights is necessary to keep mildew in
check. Has the annual coal supply
been contracted fort Prices art?
lower than they will be in the fall
and dealers are glad to fill up the cel-
lars in the hot months, when teaming
would otherwise be at its low ebb.

VARIETIES TO GROW.

We are just finishing a new house
for roses and should like to know what
varieties eastern growers are planting
most extensively this season — our loca-
tion is Montana. Our own idea is:
Ked, Beauty, Bhea Eeid, Eichmond;
pink, Killarney, My Maryland; white,
White Killarney; yellow, Mrs. Aaron
Ward. Maryland appears to be at
least as good a rose as Killarney, at
least as an individual flower, but per-
haps it has some drawback, as ap-
parently Killarney is more extensively
grown. But the important question,
to our mind, is: Will White Killarney
stand alone as a white rose and enable
us to discard Kaiserin and Bride? Just
give us a line on the eastern point of
view and tell us of any roses we have
not mentioned that you think are worth
a trial. K. G.

It does not appear from the inquiry
whether or not the subscriber intends
to grow in one house all the roses he
mentions, but it is presumed the new
house is to contain only a part of the
stock. The number of growers of
American Beauty is increasing slowly,
if at all, for few small growers have
been able to find any profit in it. Bhea
Beid is a variety that has not had a
great success as a forcing rose and is
little seen. Richmond is the standby
in red. Killarney is far and away the
leader in pink, none of the several
other varieties being comparable with
it in the hands of the average grower.
When My Maryland first came out it
was thought to have a great future and,
indeed, some growers still swear by it;
but more swear at it because of its
stubbornness in winter. It is fine in
autumn and again in spring, but no
great number of growers have mastered
the secret of keeping it going through
the winter. White Killarney stands
even more alone among the whites than
Killarney does among the pinks. It
has two faults; it is not pure white in
hot weather and it has so few petals
that it pops open. But White Killarney
has knocked out Bride, just as Eallar-
ney has Maid, and some growers are
also dropping Kaiserin as no longer
needed, though to many minds it is the
better rose in the warm months.

Mrs. Aaron Ward is a rose with which
one or two growers have done well,
and it will be given a trial this season
by a large number of others. Of the
new varieties Double Pink Killarney
has been of most interest to the grow-
ers for wholesale markets, as the in-

crease in petalage promises to go a
long way toward correcting the chief
fault of Killarney; it should ship and
keep better. Those who received the
early deliveries on this variety already
are cutting blooms on good stems and
feel that their judgment is confirmed.
Melody is another that has been widely
distributed this season. It is a free
blooming yellow and hopes are high
that when it becomes known to the
public it will result in an active and
steady demand for yellow roses. Lady
Hillingdon is another new yellow, the
demand for which exceeded the re-
sources of the disseminator. Prince de
Bulgarie is' a rose of many aliases, not
quite so new as the others. Shipped to
the New York market as Mrs. Taft, it
has realized splendid prices. The flow-

ers are a beautiful shell pink. It will
be tried out by many large growers
this season. Rose Queen, disseminated
this spring, is a lively clear pink, over
which some growers became quite en-
thusiastic; in fact, the originator could
not supply the demand for stock. And
there are several other new ones, each
of which has its friends, but to try
them all a man would need to be just
finishing more than one new house.

ARDISIAS.

Will you give me some information
as to the general culture of ardisiasf

R. E. P.

Seeds of Ardisia crenulata, the va-
riety used commercially, are best sown
in early spring in a warm house, potted
off singly when a couple of inches in
height, grown along rather close and
frequently damped overhead and suc-
cessively shifted from 2%.-incb to 4-
inch pots and later to 6-inch pots. A
winter minimum of 50 degrees is suffi-
cient for them; in fact, 45 degrees will
suffice. The plants will flower and fruit
to some extent the first season, but it
will take a year longer to get nice,
salable plants well fruited. Propaga-
tion of leggy plants can be effected by
mossing and ringing them in the same
way crotons, dracsenas and ficus often
are rooted. Frequent syringing is nec-
essary to keep brown scale in subjec-
tion. They do well in summer plunged
in ashes outdoors. C. W.

MUMS BUDDING TOO EARLY.

We are growing chrysanthemums in
southern Louisiana, and we noticed in
the first week of June that some of the
plants were already budding. Kindly
let me know why they are budding so
early. Should the buds be taken off
as soon as they showf

M. J. G. & B.

It is by no means a rare thing for
mums to bud early in the summer.
There are several reasons for this. For
instance, if the plants are neglected
and the wood gets hard, they will fre-
quently go into bud. Some varieties
are much more liable to do this than
others. Golden Glow is especially trou-
blesome in this respect. The only thing
to do is to keep all the buds closely
pinched off and eventually a shoot will
be produced that will grow and make
a reasonable stem.

Chas. H. Totty.

particularly high, though I presume
H. R. knows his market and knows
what flowers he can sell to best advan-
tage. On Golden Glow the buds can be
secured any time after July 20. This
will produce flowers about the end of
September, which is as early as there
is any call for mums. August 20 is
as early as it is safe to take buds on
Mrs. Bobinson, as earlier buds throw
a flower that is decidedly deficient in
petalage. Chas. H. Totty.

GOLDEN GLOW AND ROBINSON.

Please give me some information
about Golden Glow and Robinson mums,
with reference to disbudding and other
particulars. I am located in southwest-
ern Connecticut and intend to grow
four stems on each plant. H. B.

If Golden Glow and Bobinson mums
are grown with four stems to each
plant, the quality, of course, will not be

MUMS IN OLD SOIL.

I should lute to kcow if chrysanthe-
mums will do well in a solid bed, using
the same soil carnations have been
grown in. Can I get a crop if I plant
September 1, under the above condi-
tions? The location is southern Penn-
sylvania. D. H. Z.

The chrysanthemums will grow in a
solid carnation bed with more or less
success in the old soil, if properly
handled, although D. H. Z. would prob-
ably find it would be a profitable in-
vestment to replace the old soil with
new. Most authorities nowadays agree
that chrysanthemums do much bet-
ter on a raised bench than on a solid
bed, although for the average grower
it is not, perhaps, of such great im-
portance.

September 1 is pretty late to be
planting mums unless at that time it

time, on everything except such kinds

FILCHEB'S PLACE.

Kirkwood is well known as one of

the growing centers for the St. Louis
cut flower market. There has been a
large increase in the glass at Kirk-
wood this season, several new estab-
lishments having been built. One of
these was put up by W. J. Pilcher and
is shown in the accompanying illustra-
tion. It consists of three houses 26z
100, erected with material supplied by
the Foley Mfg. Co., Chicago. This is
the home bf the new violet, Mazzura,
for which those in the trade in St.
Louis think a wide distribution is in
prospect.

PRUNING THE

SHRUBBERY

i.

WREN, WHY AND HOW.

Amateur Performances in Pruning.

I dare say that some of you outdoor
men, you private gardeners and florists
who have shrubs and trees to care for,
do not give as much thought to the
proper methods of pruning as you
should. You know, or you should know,
that pruning is one of the most impor-
tant essentials in the care of plants. Do
you know how to make the cuts, how
to care for the wounds, how to prune,
when to prune, and why pruning is prac-
ticed f Those of you who know these
things are to be congratulated, and those
of you who do not know had better
study and learn.

I am not speaking now of the indis-
criminate butchering of plants, but of
the things that go to make up the intel-
ligent man's methods. Any one can
chop down a tree, or "trim" a bush,
but few can handle a knife, shears or
saw with proper intelligence.

I do not mean that Tom, John or
Harry can not do these things as they
should be done. I refer to the great
body of men who claim to be garden-
ers. There is a good old gentleman liv-
ing in my town who is, I believe, a
fair representative of the sort of "gar-
dener" one finds in such towns. He
does all kinds of work, spades the gar-
den in the spring, sows the seed, cares
for the plants during their season of
growth, harvests the crop, and — last but
by no means least — he "prunes the
bushes." Shall I tell you how he does
some of the pruning? He cut all the

canes from the raspberry hushes last
fall. Last year he "pruned" — so he
said — the Van Houttei spiraeas when
dormant. Early in the fall of 1908 he
"pruned" a block of Eosa multiflora
by shearing all the plants straight across
the tops. I mention these instances to
illustrate the fact that the florist and
the gardener would do well to educate
the man who does all kinds of garden-
ing operations.

Why We Prune.

I wonder whether any of you would
be interested in short notes on pruning.
Here are a few for those who have the
time and inclination to read.

As I said before, do you know why
we prune? The principal reason is, to
reduce the number of leaves and
branches. It follows, then, that the
pruner should be well informed regard-
ing the general habits of plants. The
question naturally arises, "Why should
leaves and branches be removed?"
There are several reasons, ^^nch as in-
suring strong growths, increasing fruit-
fulness, securing symmetry of form, ad-
mitting light and air to the center of
the plant, invigorating unhealthy plants,
securing a high or a low head. These
are the principal reasons. From these
you can readily understand how neces-
sary it is to know the plants.

When to Prune.

Do you all know just when to prune?
Probably the best time for general
pruning operations is in the fall, after
the wood is thoroughly ripened or the
leaves have fallen. Some individual

plants, however, must receive special
study and attention, because the time
of pruning varies with their habit or
mode of flowering. Let us divide the
discussion into two sections, With refer-
ence, first, to plants flowering on the
old wood or previous year 's growth, and,
secondly, to plants flowering on the cur-
rent year's growth. I cannot too
strongly emphasize the fact that one
must have knowledge of the habits of
the plants. He must know whether the
flowers appear on the old or dormant
wood, or whether they appear on the
new growths made during the current
or present season. He should know also
whether the buds are borne on the end
(terminal) or side (lateral) shoots.

Let us illustrate the effect of prun-
ing a plant in late winter or early
spring that flowers on old wood. A
good subject is Spiraea Van Houttei.
Suppose we cut it back twelve inches at
the time mentioned; as a result we
would not get a flower. Why? Because
we have cut off all the flower buds. The
proper time for pruning the Van Hout-
tei spiraea is after the plant has flow-
ered. Take another example. Suppose
we prune Hydrangea paniculata grandi-
flora in winter and see what the result
would be. No flower buds are destroyed.
Why? Because those buds are pro-
duced on the new wood, or the wood
that is formed the current year. There
are many plants in which this dis-
tinction must be made in order to prune
intelligently. Plants which flower dur-
ing the fall or late summer are pruned
during the fall, winter or early spring,
because the flower buds are formed on
the new growths. Therefore it is desir-
able to secure as many new shoots as
possible. Many roses are pruned during
the fall and winter — such, for instance,
as Bosa rugosa.

Importance of Pruning.

Now, I do not intend to give you an
extensive treatise on the. art of prun-
ing. I have t-imply mentioned the fore-
going facts to give you an inkling of the
importance oi thie practice. Lindley
says, in his "Theory of Horticulture":
"If well directed, pruning is one of
the most useful, and, if ill directed, it
is among the most mischievous opera-
tions that can take place upon a plant."
Thomas Meehan, formerly one of our
most prominent American scientifio
gardeners, in an early work says that
one must use as much care when prun-
ing the larger limbs of trees and shrubs
as a surgeon would when operating on a
patient. Bailey says, in "The Pruning
Book": "Of all the operations con-
nected with the growing of trees and
shrubs, pruning and training bring the
person into closest contact and sym-

pathy with the plant." Bailey also
says: "It is impossible to instruct any
person in pruning by merely showing
him how to do the work on a given
plant, for tho very next plant may pre-
sent a new set of problems." I quote
these eminent plantsmen so you may
know their opinion. I really believe
that if they think pruning ia of so much
importance, we surely ought to give the
subject our most careful consideration.
Then oyr own experience would teach
us that it is an operation which is not
to be underestimated in its relation to
a plant's future growth.

Books on the Subject.

I am sure that some of my readers
are interested in the literature on prun-
ing, and for their benefit I am going to
give a list of a few good things. Prac-
tically the only Anierican work on the
subject at present is "The Pruning
Book," by L. H. Bailey. It is a mono-
graph on pruning as adapted to our
conditions. It costs $1.50, and may be
secured from the Florists' Publishing
Co. Probably the best book on tree
pruning is a ^mall work by A. I>es
Cars, translated from the French by
Charles S. Sargent. In it are given
practical methods for carrying on the
work. The price is 90 cents. Doubtless
the same company could secure a copy
of it for you, and also of the other books
that I shall mention. An interesting
handbook on the subject is a recent
English publication entitled "The
Handy Book on Pruning, Grafting and
Budding," by James Udale. The price
is 60 cents. Complete instructions for
pruning xoses are found in "Roses, aad
How to Grow Them," a manual for
growing roses in the garden and under
glass. The price is $1.10. For those
who are especially interested in the care
of hedges I would recommend a work by
Powell, entitled "Hedges, Windbreaks,
etc.," of which the price is 50 cents.

Books on the Habits of Plants.

As the success or failure of pruning
depends on the knowledge one has of
the habits of plants, it may Be desirable
to give a short list of those books con-
taining such information. "Shrubs of
Northwestern America," by C. S. New-
hall, contains much information of a
botanical nature, but presented in a pop-
ular style. The price is $1.75. Two
books by Harriet L. Keeler are well
worth while. The titles are, "Our
Northern Shrubs and How to Identify

Them," and "Our Native Trees." The
price of each is $2. "Practical For-
estry," by John Gifford, contains clear
information on the care of forests,
which includes pruning. The books I
have mentioned are only a part of the
list which might be prepared. Before
leaving the subject of books, I want to
say that in these days of hustle it is
only possible to keep up with the times
by consulting the best literature. Moral:
Read and -grow in- knowledge.

Before bringing this to a close, I am
going to ask those of you who have not
given any of these questions serious
thought, to get busy and do so. If you
happen to have an appreciative em-
ployee, make him a present of one of the
books on pruning. It will do him good
— and you, too. Don't you believe it?

HAH. AT BALTIMOBE.

The Baltimore district was visited,
June 12, by the heaviest hail ever seen
there, and gloom was general at the
meeting of the Gardeners and Florists'
Club that night, for the storm had
broken nearly every pane of glass in
half a dozen fine establishments, result-
ing in a loss of thousands of dollars.
Practically every greenhouse in Gov-
anstown, Mount Washington and Wav-
erly suffered from the hail. An e:
getic glass man was on haBd~*Cthe
meeting and he obtained^ orders f^
several thousand dollarsA worth or
business before leaving t^e hall, a^l
of the florists being eager^tp order
pairs and get promises orj promptness
in execution.

F. C. Bauer, one of the members of
the club, left for New York a few
hours before the storm, intending to
sail for Europe next day. A telephone
message from his place in Govanstown
to the manager of the Baltimore
Florists' Exchange was to the effect
that every pane of glass in his houses
had been smashed by the hail. Another
case reported was that of Isaac H.
Moss, of Govanstown, whose two
ranges, although a mile apart, were
bereft of nearly every pane by the
storm.

James Hamilton, a rose grower, while
at the meeting, heard from his place
at Mount Washington to the effect that
nearly all of his glass had been
smashed. Another loss reported over
the telephone to the loser was that- of
M. Than, of Govanstown, whose loss

amounted, he was informed, to more
than $700.

There were many other losses, and
of course the damage is not alone tu
the houses, but includes a great deal
of stock badly cut up. Many of the
growers were not insured.

LOUISVILLE WANTS S. A. F.

Fifty florists from Louisville and New
Albany met June 16 at a dinner at the
Louisville hotel, as guests of the Louis-
ville Convention and Publicity Leagu^
for the purpose of arranging plans to
secure for Louisville the 1912 conven-
tion of the S. A. F.. It was decided to
send a delegation to the meeting of the
organization in Baltimore in August and
urge the- acceptance of an invitation to
come to Kentucky next year.

Robert W. Brown, president of the
Louisville Convention and Publicity
League, presided as host, and there was
much enthusiasm. Most of those who
attended were members of the Kentucky
Society of Florists, and those who were
not members promised to join in order
to assist in the work of landing the na-
tional convention.

le action of Peirce Bros., of

PROPOSES OOVEBNMENT EXPRESS

A bill is now before the sub-commit-
tee on Postoffice and Postroads in Con-
gress providing for condemning and
purchasing the express companies and
adding them to the postal system, and
establishing a complete system for the
quick transport of packages and the
eatable products of the farm and truck
garden, etc. "There are two main
reasons why the express companies
must be added to the postal system,"
says Congressman Lewis, author of the
bill. "First, the express company

gardens for the people to eat, at liv-
ing prices. Second, the contracts of
the express companies with the railways
give them an average transportation
rate of three-quarters of a cent a
pound; and with this rate the express
charges by post would be reduced from
two-thirds to one-half on parcels rang-
ing from five pounds to fifty pounds,
and about twenty-eight per cent on
heavier weights, as a consequence of the
coordination of the express company
plants with the post office and rural de-
livery, and the elimination of the ex-
press company profits, which are aver-
aging over fifty per cent on the invest-

MRa ESTILL, OF MOBERLT.

One of the well known Missouri flo-
rists is Mrs. E. S. Estill, of Mobdrly,
who has developed a special capacity
for the business. Her husband is super-
intendent of the city water works and
it was purely through natural inclina-
tion, just as so many other florists
have started, that Mrs. Estill took; up
the commercial end of floriculture.
This was five years ago and her start
was with only $200 capital and a green-
house 8x15 feet, without heat. Now
she has six good houses, each 14x100
feet, and a large, well equipped flower
store on the main street in the town,
with facilities for filling any kind of
an order, be it for cut flowers, bedding
or landscape work. Plans are now on
foot for removing the greenhouses to
a new site, north of the residence,
which they now adjoin, and in the re-
building to add something to the area,
at the same time changing the heat-
ing system from hot water to steam
and providing for a considerable fu-
ture addition to the glass area.

NEW OBIiEANS.

The Market.

The last week was a busy one for all
florists catering to the cut flower trade.
Weddings were of daily occurrence, and
for commencement night not less than
175 elegant bouquets, mostly of the
shower style, were furnished by the
different florists. "White roses, carna-
tions and daisies were the flowers most-
ly used for that occasion and the gen-
eral effect was striking. The exoidus
of the yearly tourists began a monCh
ago and by July nearly all social func-
tions will be at a standstill until late
in the fall. There has been no rain
here for two weeks, but the clouds look
ominous and everyone wishes that
.Jupiter Pluvius would open the locks
and send the much needed water from
above.

Club Meeting.

The last regular meeting in the fiscal
year of the New Orleans Horticultural
Society was held June 15, at Kolb's
German Tavern. The president, Eich-
ard Eichling, was in the chair, and the
secretary, C. E. Panter, at his desk,
with about twenty-five members pres-
ent. The feature of the evening was
an interesting and instructive paper on
"Landscape Gardening," read by Ed-
ward Baker, one of the veterans of
the society, and superintendent of the
parking commission. The essayist's
paper comprised, in broad outlines, the
entire history of landscape gardening,
especially in this country. His description
of modern landscape gardening, with
reference to the proper arrangement
of trees, shrubs, beds, etc., was of great
value. A lengthy discussion followed,
in which several members voiced their
sentiments, emphasizing the fact that in
general not enough money is spent for
the laying out, planting and mainte-
nance of gardens. Loud applause fol-
lowed the reading of this paper and a
vote of thanks was extended to Mr.
Baker.

The city council will bring in shortly
its final decision in regard to the "fly''
ordinance. In order to guard the rights
of the florists against favoritism in the
requirements, which undoubtedly would
hurt their trade, the following commit-
tee was appointed: J. C. Quinette, P. A.
Chopin and Paul Ab^e:^

The society extended a vote of thanks
to Mr. Ward, of the Cottage Gardens,
for the enjoyable outing on the lake
given the members May 28.

The annual outing of the society will
take place on a Wednesday during the
early part of July. It will consist of a
boat ride to Mandeville, La., on the
banks of Lake Pontchartrain. The ar-
rangements are in the hands of the fol-
lowing committee: Edward Baker, C.
E. Panter and Charles Eble.

Up to this time no prospective candi-
dates for the offices of president and
vice-president have appeared, but it is
likely they will make their intentions
known during the outing.

Various Notes.

C. W. Eichling 's business is con-
stantly increasing, especially in the
cut flower Hne. The varied stock he
carries at his nursery, near the store,
is always in perfect condition.

Max Scbeinuk, a young, enterprising
florist, will soon remove to his new
place on Panola street, where he built
a residence and a greenhouse, 25x100.

U. J. Virgin has an exceedingly busy

place in good shape and well stocked,
especially with paints and ferns. He is
cutting daily a good supply of asters,
Lilium giganteum and lancifolium for
store use. E. E.

The Market.

Thtf lessening of shipments was evi-
dent June 17 and before the day ended
the demand had absorbed everything
worth while, and quite a little of the
sleepy accumulations also. The big de-
partment stores bought roses and car-
nations in lots of 20,000 and at figures
that enabled them to advertise special
sales of these at 10 cents a dozen. The
Trepels and Abrams were surely a god-
send to the overburdened market. It
is predicted that every department store
in the city, awakened by the remark-
able success of Charles Trepel in his
three big New York and Brooklyn

stores, will add a flower department be-
fore the new season opens in Septem-
ber.

There are few American Beauty roses
that are worthy of the name. The few
that pass muster bring 20 cents easily,
but ninety per cent of all arrivals of
ihis rose go at any figure offered. This
week should see some improvement in
general quality. TJie week opens with
small shipments and a steady market at
last week's average prices. Of Killar-
ney there is no limit; much of the stock
is short in stem and small in flower, but
it dominates the rose market always.
Maryland and Maid abound, but quality
is poor. Hilda grows in popularity. The
old Jacq., as thorny and sweet as ever,
had a banner week, and someL^f the
stock sent in brought good prices,
though the hot days made short work
of most of it. Few Eichmonds arrive.
The rose market feels the influence of
direct shipments from growers to other
cities and to out-of-town florists.

Carnations show a sleepy condition,
as the result of the heat, and the accu-
mulations last week were abnormal.
One sale of 22,000 was made at less than
$2 per thousand and $1 per hundred was
top, except for a few. There is a big

Large crowds attended the big palm
sales this week of the Elliott and Mad-
Niff auction companies. This closes the
most successful auction season ever
known here.

Jacobs & Sons, Brooklyn, report a
hundred per cent increase in their
year's business, to date. The firm con-
templates an early addition to the fac-
tory.

Mr. Beauplan, manager of the Forster
Mansfield Co., is summering on his
steam yacht, the Chantecler.

The Yonkers Nursery Co. has com-
pleted the planting and landscape work
on the Eockefeller estate. The Archi-
tectural League, of this city, declares
"the landscape effects the finest and
most complete example of landscape
architecture in the world." Eobert
Bennison, the manager bf the nursery,
finds his new auto a necessity in the
oversight of the numerous contracts
this season. Fred Smythe, the pro-
prietor, will shortly make his annual
trip to Europe.

John V. Phillips and family, of Brook-
lyn, are enjoying their summer recrea-
tion at their bungalow at Bay Shore.

S. Masur, of Brooklyn, has rented the
entire building at his present location
on lower Fulton street, and will make
extensive alterations. This increase of
room was badly needed. Mr. Masur
has had a busy season, with many gar-
dening contracts on Long Island and in
Jersey.

Frank McKee is building another
greenhouse at Fulton street and Classen
avenue, Brooklyn, to be devoted to the
growing of the best chrysanthemums.
His store and greenhouse facilities are
now among the best in the city.

R. G. Wilson, of Greene avenue, and
Hugo H. Jahn, of Nostrand avenue, in
Upper Brooklyn, report the biggest wed-
ding season of their long experience.

F. Milliot had a fine bank of deco-
rative plants and baskets at the exhi-
bition of the Yonkers Horticultural So-
ciety last week. The society will hold
its summer outing at Eye Beach early
in July. The exhibit of the Yonkers
Nursery Co., at this summer show, was
the principal decorative feature. The
judges were Wm, Eoberts, of Ossining;
Ewen McKenzie, of New Eochelle, and
John Brunger, of Irvington. The orchid
exhibit was made by the Julius Eoehrs
Co.. of Eutherford.

The members of the firm of Siebrecht
& Siebrecht are spending their week
ends at Chappaqua, N. Y.

The sweet pea convention will take
place at Philadelphia next week, June
29 and 30. Secretary Bunyard has made
elaborate arrangements, and will pilot
a goodly number of New Yorkers.

June 28 the annual outing of the New
York Florists' Club will take place at '

Wetzel's, as usual. These yearly re-
unions draw an attendance of 400 to
500. The start this year is at 9:30 a. m.,
to give time for a two hours' sail up
the Sound before the noon meal. At 6
p. m., after the athletic events, the ban-
quet will be served, in time for the re-
turn trip at 8 p. m. Hundreds of dol-
lars have been subscribed for prizes,
which will be almost exclusively used
for the ladies and children. Th» outing
this year is planned to be largely a
family reunion. Secure your tickets in
advance from Chairman Fenrieh.

The week after the outing of the
Greek Amerioan fraternity takes place,
and early in July the plant growers of
New York and New Jersey will cele-
brate in a long auto ride over the fine
roads of New York and a banquet at a
famous inn up the Hudson.

July 1 and 2 the Horticultural Society
of New York will hold an exhibition of
roses, irises, sweet peas, herbaceous
plants, etc., with liberal prizes. Geo. V.
Nash, the secretary, says the society
will "educate this blas6 community to'
appreciate the beautiful, or die in the
attempt," and he thinks the good effects
of his persistency are already here.

Part of the new store of J. J. Fel-
louris, on West Twenty-eighth street,
has beert contracted for by a wholesale
cut flower firm and will be occupied
early in the fall.

B. J. Slinn, Jr., and family are sum-
mering at Garden City.

Mr. Sperry has joined the ranks of
the carbuncleites.

Eobert Schultz, of Madison, states
that any reports as to the sale or leas-
ing of his property are erroneous.

Jos. H, Fenrieh and family are at
their summer home in Asbury Park. Mr.
Fenrieh 's partner is touring Europe
with his wife.

Geo. M. Stumpp will have W. H.
Siebrecht, Sr., as his companion in an
auto trip through Germany and other
European countries.

Walter Mott, of Newburgh, has joined
the traveling force of Wm. Elliott &
Sons, and will make his initial trip
through New England, commencing
July 5.

Alex. McConnell finds the move to
his new and beautiful corner store com-
pleted without a jar to the volume of
his business.

C. A. Dards has been kept busy with
wedding work at both of his establish-
ments.

David Clarke's Sons have been flooded
with weddings, often three or four of
them in a day.

Small & Sons maintain the even tenor
of their way, and soon will have finer
accommodations at the Waldorf-Astoria
branch.

Young & Nugent find their new store
on Madison avenue a wise departure.

Myer, at Fifty-eighth street and Mad-
ison avenue, has doubled his room and
business.

The Bunyard Co. is doing well both
here and at Newport.

Theo. Lang leaves this week for his
up-state summer home, with his fam-
ily. Mr. Lang will grow asters there
this summer for the New York market.

Frank Millang and family are already
on their farm up the Hudson.

Sunday, June 19, was designated lo-
cally as "Fathers' day," but poor pater
received scant recognition, so far as
floral decorations are concerned, al-
though this event may have had its in-
fluence on the markets' clean-up on
Saturday. It looks as if father would

have to wait for his funeral for any
extraordinary floral demonstration.

M. A. Bowe has found his temporary
headquarters, opposite the Waldorf, an
excellent location.

Bowling.

The Bowling Club will roll at Thumm's
alleys, Broadway and Thirty-first street,
every Friday evening until August 11.
The contest for team membership at
Baltimore has had the effect of increas-
ing the club's average nearly fifty per
cent. John Donaldson rolled the re-
markable score of 264 last Friday eve-
ning. The scores were:

OBITUAEY.

W. D. Bastow.

W. D. Bastow, a pioneer florist of
Peoria, 111., died of pneumonia June 13,
in the Proctor Home, in which he had
resided for several years. He was 84
years of age. He was born in England
and came to America at the age of 20,
having learned the florists' art in his
native country. He located in New
York, then in Illinois, and fifty years
ago was the leading florist of Peoria.
Several years of his later life were
spent in Kansas, but his home was
always in Peoria. He is survived by a
sister, Mrs. Anna E. Peterbridge, of
Peoria.

Peter Ott, head florist for the Balti-
more ,& Ohio railroad at Mansfield, 0.,
died it his home in that city on Sunday
night, June 11. He was said to be the
oldest florist in the city and had held
his position with the railroad company
for twenty-seven years.

William Taat.

William Taat, traveler for the Hol-
land firm of M. Van Wjaveren & Sons,
Hillegom, died June 13 in the Boston
City Hospital, as the result of an acci-
dent which occurred some time ago.
Mr. Taat was widely known in the
trade in this country, having made
many trips here in the interest of his
firm, calling on the seed houses and
on leading buyers of bulbs in the flo-
rists' and other lines. While visiting
the trade in Boston, Mr. Taat met with
an accident in the subway, falling be-
tween the first and second cars in a
train. His foot was so badly injured
that amputation was necessary, and
later a second operation was required,
from which he did not have the
strength to rally.

Edward B. Voorhees.

Dr. Edward B. Voorhees, director of
the New Jersey Agricultural Experi-
ment Station and professor of agricul-
ture at Eutgers College, died at New
Brunswick, N. J., June 6 of paralysis.
He was widely known as a scientific
authority on fertilizers.

Moscow, Idaho. — J. L. Bourn, the
North Main street florist, has pur-
chased a residence lot on the hill and
let a contract for the construction of
a modern dwelling.

who has personally carried on the busi-
ness since the death of her husband.

Tarrytown, N. Y. — The annual eo^i-
bition of roses, strawberries and hardy
flowers by the Tarrytown Horticultural

secretary. The fall show schedule is
out. The date is October 31 to No-
vember 2.

Plymouth, Ind.— Jacob Jordan, who
rebuilt his old greenhouses and added
another on his property just north of
town, has had an excellent season's
trade. He grows principally vegetable
plants, in flats, and has easily sold all
he could spare from his own planting.
He devotes the benches in one of his
houses to lettuce, for which he finds
a ready home market.

Wilmington, O. — The business of
Weltz 's Sons has passed into the hands
of Fred Weltz, the partnership between
himself and his brother, Trebor, having
ceased by limitation, after an existence
of ten years. It is the intention of
the present proprietor to put the place
in first-class condition and continue to
operate it. The business was founded
in 1858 by the father, Leo Weltz, de-
ceased.

St. Paul, Minn. — The annual flower
show, under the auspices of the State
Horticultural Society and the Minne-
sota Eose Society, was held June 15,

ber of the committee on arrangements.

of McMillen & Co., has been seriously
ill at his home on Arch street since the
first part of June.

two greenhouses. She has be^n selling
plants and flowers on a small scale for
some time, but is preparing to go more
extensively into the business.

purchased the property of E. Gammon,
including the ground, greenhouses and

expects to devote his time to bee cul-
ture.

to supply the increased demand for
cut flowers and bedding plants. They
are located just four miles east of Gary,

who recently purchased a large tract of
land on Norwood avenue, will use it for
the growing of outside stock. He will
retain the greenhouses on Bridge street,
as at present.

a fine new building, not yet completed,
on Greenwich avenue, and will occupy
it as soon as it is ready for them. It

ed by a local contractor.

Owatonna, Minn. — The Clinton Falls
Nursery Co. used Lord's frost-proof
box for its plant shipments last winter,
and during severe weather sent bloom-
ing plants in good condition to cus
tomers in Montana, Canada, and
through the Dakotas.

Greeley, Colo. — James H. Ellis re-
cently completed his new range of
greenhouses, on Normal Hill. Mr. Ellis
was formerly a member of the force
of the Park Floral Co., at Denver, and
is thoroughly experienced as a grower
and as a general florist. His location
here is said to be ideal and his pros-
pects are in every way encouraging.

West Newbury, Mass. — Chas. F.
Newell, who conducted what was orig-
inally known as the Brookdale Truck
Farm, has recently been erecting more
greenhouses, and his place now bears
the name of the Brookdale Nursery and
Greenhouses. He says he has every
reason to believe that when his houses
are completed he will have all the busi-
ness he can attend to. His stock was
cleaned out at Easter and again on
Memorial day.

Newark, N. J. — Local newspapers
contain the announcement that the
firm of Kroehl & Schutzl has been dis-
solved.

who recently erected greenhouses here,
has provided for his water supply by
installing a 1,000-gallon compressed-air

of the Franklin Floral Co., received
the order for the decorations for the
GriflSn-Hall wedding at the First Bap-
tist church June 24.

while four grandchildren receive small-
er amounts.

Shelburne Falls, Mass. — ^Paul Burtt,
of Greenfield, who recently bought the
business of L. S. Fife, will not remove
to this town for the present, but will
carry on the business through a super-
intendent, who will live in a cottage
on the premises.

Springfield, Mass. — E. B. Beals had
the contract for decorating the grounds
of the Winchester park engine house
for the summer, and has made the
place notable for its attractiveness.
Palms and fine plants, in tubs and
vases, were largely used in the work.

Plymouth, Ind. — The Forbes Seed
Store has had an unusually heavy trade
this season in garden and field seeds
and in vegetable and bedding plants.
The weather for some weeks was too
dry to be entirely favorable to the
business, but good showers have lately
fallen.

Saginaw, Mich. — The Wm. Eocthke
Floral Co. will expend about $15,000
this season in replacing its greenhouses
on Gratiot avenue with new iron-frame
houses of truss construction. The walls,
floors and benches will be of concrete.
Two of the new houses will be 27x165,
three will be 27x135 and one will be
10x135. The boiler house and potting
shed will also be rebuilt. The work of
erection will be commenced at once
and will probably be completed before
September 1. The output of the houses
will be used in supplying the firm's
three stores heye and in Bay City, and
in taking care of the ever increasing
outside trade. The business was es-
tablished by Wm. Eoethke thirty-five
years ago.

SPECIAL NOTICE

Fourth of July, a legal holiday,

ONE DAY EARLIER THAN USUAL

SOCIETY OF AMEBICAN FLORISTS.

Incorporated by Act of Congress, March 4, 1901.

Officers for 1911: President, Geor^ Asmus, Chi-
cago; vice-president, R. Vincent, Jr., Whito Marsh,
Md.; secretary, H. B. Dorner, Urbana, 111 ; treas-
urer, W. F. Easting, Buffalo, N. Y.

Annual convention, Baltimore, Md., August 15 to
18 1911.

RESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

When you telegraph an order add the
code word "Transmit," which means
* * Mentioned in your advertisement in the
Florists' Review."

Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.

June is not only the month of roses,
but in the Pacific northwest it is the
month of rose festivals. Portland has the
big show, but a dozen other cities have
won their shares of distinction in the last
fortnight or so.

Secretary H. B. Dorner has mailed
to each member of the S. A. F. a
letter enclosing an application blank
and emphasizing that if each member
gets one additional member, the mem-
bership can be doubled before the Bal-
timore convention.

Hardly a day passes without some Chi-
cago florist calling The Review on the
telephone to get the name of a florist
in a town not yet represented in the De-
partment for Leading Retail Florists,
to whom an order can be sent. If your
town is not represented, a word to the
wise ought to be suflBcient.

SWRUT PEA SOCIETY.

view is growing steadily.

Louisville wants the S. A. F. conven
tion in 1912 and will send a strong dele-
gation to Baltimore to press its invi-
tation.

HAVE YOU A SURPLUS?

It is quite the rule for those who ad-
vertise their surplus stock in the Clas-
sified department of The Review to get
jill the orders they can use.

Enclosed find check for |1.30 to cover bill. The
flrcit Issue for mums sold more .than I had. I be-
lieve I have bad orders and inquiries for more
than 100,000, and only had about 5,000 to sell. —
Mt. Park Greenhouse, Rldgway, Pa., H. W.
Girton, Mgr., June 12, 1911.

WON'T LET IT DROP.

I want to thank The Review for its
kind attention to this matter of es-
tablishing a Fathers' day. I also want
to thank those brother florists who so
kindly seconded my nominations.

My heart is wholly in this matter,
and I trust the florists throughout this
country will cooperate with me in es-
tablishing a Fathers' day. To me, the
name of father is the dearest name
on earth. We all know that being ap-
preciated is one of our greatest pleas-
ures and when the fathers throughout
this flower-strewn land of ours realize
they are really loved and appreciated
it can not but add pleasure to their
lives.

Now that the nomination has been
made and seconded, that we establish a
Fathers' day, the second Sunday in
November, and that the chrysanthemum
shall be the flower, will The Review
call for a vote on the question, sug-
gesting a time and manner of taking
the vote? If s6meone else can suggest
a better day and a better flower,, by all
means let us adopt it. All I ask is,
do not drop the matter till Fathers'
day is established.

Mrs. L. M. Smith.

CHICAGK).

The Great Central Market.

The market situation improved meas-
urably in the latter days of last week
and the present week opens with con-
ditions much better than they have been
at any time since Memorial day, when
the first severe hot wave struck. Sup-
plies are materially reduced, though
there still is plenty of stock in nearly
eyery line, if the buyer is not too crit-
ical of quality.

The reduction in supplies is most ap-
parent in roses. There continue to be
plenty of short roses, but either they
have popped open and therefore cannot
be shipped, or else, if cut tight, the .
buds are so small that wholesalers do
not like to send them out. The supplies
of long-stemmed roses are decidedly
light and values have improved all along
the line. Kaiserin is in lequest, for
most of the growers have dropped it and
are placing their sole dependence on
White Killamey. This begins to show
the pinkish or yellowish tinge that ia
the characteristic of summer, and such
Kaiserin as come in command a pre-
mium. Maryland also is showing up
better. There can now be no complaint
as to the values of any really good
roses. Beauty cuts also are down, but
there still is all the stock the orders
call for.

Carnations have become much better

property than they have been recently.
The losses which occurred in the early
part of June have caused many grow-
ers to throw out most of their stock,
with the result that the supply is much
reduced and the average quality of the
stock coming in is considerably im-
proved. Naturally, carnations do not
now have the midwinter size, but there
is nice, clean stock in the market and it
is selling as well as could be expected
under the circumstances. Many buy-
ers have not ordered carnations since
their experiences at Memorial day.

Sweet peas are much less plentiful
than they were. There is some clean
stock from indoors, but the stems are
short. Easter lilies continue over-
abundant. Valley is fairly plentiful
and selling well. Cattleyas have again
sprung into demand. Since last report
candidums have come in heavily. They
are slow sale and June 19 the principal
Michigan shipper was in town arrang-
ing for the cold storage of his flowers.

The peonies are cleaning up rapidly.
The last few days there has been excel-
lent sale for really good peonies, though
scarcely any chance of moving the shak-
ers and the ones that are beginning to
show rot on the outside petal. Gladioli
are abundant and are not selling spe-
cially well. The new crop eastern ferns
are in and prices are down another
notch.

Will Double Glass.

It was reported in The Review for
November 17 that Wendland & Keimel,
at Elmhurst, had taken advantage of a
drop in the market to buy about five
cars of glass, or enough, when erected,
to more than double their establishment.
A contract calling for early delivery
was made, June 15, with the Foley Mfg.
Co., for roof bars, gutter, etc. The ad-
dition will consist of ten houses 34x200
and one house 27x200. They now have
ten houses 27x200, all in Killarneys.
The plan is to have the new houses up
before cold weather comes. The flat
rafter will be used, and the Foley chan-
nel steel gutter with malleable iron bar
clips. The Wendland & Keimel output
is marketed by the E. C. Amling Co.,
and the new range, when it begins to
produce, will make another important
addition to the rose supply of that com-

Various Notes.

The Poehlmann brothers were called
to Milwaukee by the death of their
mother June 16, the funeral being held
Monday, June 19. The family now con-
sists of five sons and a daughter, with
whom the mother lived. The sons are
Gus, Adolph, George, John and August,
all but one florists.

E. E. Pieser was downtown June 19,
but the doctors told " him to stay at
home the rest of the week, which is
harder than working for a man of such
fixed habits.

Kyle & Foerster say they sold more
peonies June 17 than on any other one
day since they started in business, ex-
cepting of course Memorial day.

William Wienhoeber, now with Alex.
McConnell, New York, will return to
Chicago by the opening of the autumn
season-and take his place with the E.
Wienhoeber Co.

It is reported that Peter Reinberg re-
cently has acquired forty acres near the
intersection of Lincoln and Peterson

avenues, on which greenhouses may b©
erected.

At J. A, Budlong's Phil Schupp saya
Kaiserin, Jardine and Maryland are in

Cool weather still prevails and has

is no surplus stock to waste, or to sell
at a low figure. All flowers are bringitfg
good prices, with the exception of car-

high prices at this time of the year.

and is a good seller for all sorts of
occasions. There are a few cut ram-
blers to be had now, and garden roses
are seen here and there in the stores.
Sweet peas have been scarce since the
indoor crop was exhausted, as the out-
door ones are not far enough advanced
to cut as yet.

Commencements are in full swing and
make a big demand, especially for roses.
The supply is used up daily and is in-
adequate for the demand. In previous
years peonies have been used exten-
sively for commencements, but the warm
spell in May of this year cut the peonies
out of the list of flowers for graduates.
A number of baskets are being used for
commencements this year, which re-
verts to the styles of years gone by.

Local florists are still filling urns,'
window boxes and veranda jars, as well
as setting out bedding plants. Outdoor
work promises to keep up until July 4,
when even the late comers will have
been supplied. Gloxinias and summer
hydrangeas are coming in now in
greater numbers and are good sellers.
Small wedding decorations helped to

keep up the rush among local dealers

Various Notes.

Fernando J. Keller has gone to New
York and Philadelphia on a business
trip.

M. J. Keller spent several days last
week «t Cayuga liake, doing landscape
gardening at the summer home of Owen
De Witt.

During this week a special train will
bring a large number of residents of
the city of Syracuse to Kochester to
view the floral displays in our various
parks. Syracusans have been constant
visitors to our city this spring and have
taken a keen interest in the beautiful
flowers in the parks. This interest has
been communicated to others, with the
result that the Syracuse JRose Society
has been formed, with the avowed pur-
pose of inducing residents of the Saline
City to plan better things along flower
lines.

Dick Salter left June 10 to spend a
week in the Adirondacks with a party
of friends.

Edward Meinhardt has resumed his
duties with J. B. Keller's Sons for the'
summer.

Miss Myrtle Bradstreet took a short
vacation a few days ago.

James F. Smith, representing Wm. J.
Boas & Co., of Philadelphia, called on
the trade here last week and reports
that business is better than ever.

Miss Margaret Howe enjoyed a
week's end holiday last Saturday.

Ground was broken last week at
Highland park for the erection of the
Lamberton Memorial Conservatory,
which is the gift of the late Miss Mary
A. Starbuck to the city of Kochester.
The conservatory will be erected at a
cost of $20,000, and is to be a memorial
to Hon. A. B. Lamberton, president of
the Rochester park board.

The EUwanger & Barry Nursery Co.
invited the public to view its display
of five acres of peonies, one of the most
gorgeous exhibits the city has ever
seen. The roses, for which the nurseries
are famous, are almost in full bloom in
thousands of varieties. Both the peony

A number of Rochester nurserymen
attended the annual convention of the
American Association of Nurserymen,
which was held in St, Louis last week.
They traveled by special train. Those
who made up the party were: John Hall,

Edward S, Osborn, M. B. Fox, R. D.
Luetchford, Professor John Craig, of

Rochester florists are taking a keen
interest in the coming Shriners' con-

ing the week beginning July 10. They
are interested because there are so many

The BiMng Eastern Market.

There is a healthier tone to the cut
flower market for the third week in
June, ending with the longest day of
the whole year. There are not so many
flowers as there were one week ago,
and they are of better average quality.
The growers are throwing out their
plants, beginning, of course, with the
poorest, and the cooler weather that
prevailed during the rainy spell has im-
proved the others. The orders, though
about as numerous, are smaller in size,
but prices are firmer.

Peonies are over. The flowers put
in cold storage were hardly a success,
though some of them came out in good
shape. Lilium candidum has had its
brief reign. The season for gardenias
is fast drawing to a close. White roses
of the better grades have been rather
hard to obtain. Kaiserin being off
crop with many growers, White Killar-
ney- and Bride have furnished most of
the stock. Sweet peas have been abun.
dant and fine, with the demand about
equal to the supply. Carnations have
improved. Cattleyas are more in evi-
dence. The varieties now are gigas and
Gaskelliana. Valley has downs and
ups, with a fairly steady demand for
the best. Coreopsis and candytuft
abound. Shipping continues fairly
active. Greens are in moderate request.

Various Notes.

Whetstone & Co. report that there is
no change in prices on pipe and fit-
tings. Present figures will probably
hold good until September 1.

The H. Bayersdorfer & Co. improve-
ments, giving increased floor space, are
rapidly progressing. Mr. Berkowitz says
a couple of weeks should see the work
completed. Mr. Berkowitz also says
that cork bark for rustic work has
been in demand. A single order for
250 bales was executed recently.

WEDDING IDEAS

The question is often asked, "Will it pay to buy a Wedding Outfit for one smart wedding? "
It will pay you and pay you well. There are two reasons: First, because a smart wedding
decoration artistically arranged, with the aid of a suitable wedding outfit, is an advertisement
for you and your business that you can get in no other way — it shows the people you want to
reach what you can do; they will see your work and remember it when they require something
handsome in floral decorations. The second reason is, because you can do more business
when you are prepared for it. By having a Wedding Outfit ready you can often secure an
order that would be lost were you unprepared.

Better order our Wedding Outfit now. Our factory is at your command.

The joint committees of the Phila-

vania Horticultural Society- have issued
a letter to those interested asking their
cooperation in making the coming fall
flower show a brilliant success. This
early start augurs well for the enter-
prise.

The West Philadelphia Flower Shop
executed the contract for the decora-
tion of the new roof garden on the

senting Henry A. Dreer, William Henry

The Market.

The various school graduation and
commencement exercises have helped
business quite a little during the last
few days. Without this welcome fillip,
trade would have been as dead as the
proverbial door nail. Flowers are not
used so largely for the school exercises
as was the case a few years ago, the
school authorities forbidding scholars
to carry them in scale cases.

Good roses are not plentiful, but
there are many poor oii«8. The quality,
thanks to the continued cool weather,
is good for the season. American
Beauties, Garnots, Killarneys and
Kaiserins are ruling favorites. Car-
nations are getting poor and many are
spidery. The number is decreasing, as

some growers are throwing out their
stock, preparatory to replanting. Sweet
peas from indoors are nearly over.
There are now more arrivals from out-
doors, but the supply is as yet inade-
quate. Peonies of light pink and white
shades have met with a good sale. Re-
cent thunder rains have, however,
damaged many and another week will
see the end of them. Hybrid per-
petual roses, such as Brunner and
Jacqueminot, have come this week
from one or two growers and sold
well.

There is Spanish iris from outdoors
of good quality. Gladioli, such as Mrs.
Francis King, America, Dawn, etc., are

more plentiful, but not selling particu-
larly well. Such flowers as stocks,
feverfews, etc., are hard to move at
any price. Valley has sold moderately
well; lilies quite x^^Jorly- Cattleyas
are in ample supply still and low in
price. Asparagus has been selling
quite well; adiantum more sluggishly.

Club Meeting.

The June meeting of the Gardeners'

time for entertainment. A letter from
John Young, secretary of the New
York Florists' Club, invited Boston
and other New England members plan-
ning to attend the S. A. F. convention
in Baltimore to share the special train
which the New York delegation will
have. The invitation was accepted by
acclamation and, from the remarks
made, Boston will have an extra good
attendance at Baltimore. Two new
members were elected. W. J. Stewart,
T. J. Grey and K. Finlayson were ap-
pointed a committee to draft resolutions
on the death of F. E. Mathieson. It
was stated that Caledonian grove, West
Roxbury, had been chosen for the an-
nual picnic, which would take place
July 26.

There were quite a few seasonable
exhibits, most of them flowers suitable
for presentation to the various artists
of the evening. Speeches were made
by C. W. Parker, W. J. Stewart, T. H.
Westwood and A. E. Parsons. There
were songs by Messrs. Tascar and Lit-
tlefield, fancy dances by Misses Jennie
and Nellie Irvine, songs by Miss Bat-
ley and piano selections by Miss R.
Pugh. At the close of the entertain-
ment, which proved one of the finest
the members have ever enjoyed. Miss J.
Evelyn Hale simply brought down the
house with her selections, splendidly
rendered. Refreshments were served
by W. C. Spratt, of Allston, in his usual
first-class style, and were heartily en-
joyed by everyone. Dancing followed.
The next club meeting will not occur
until September 18, but there will be
a field day at B. H. Tracy's gladiolus
farms in August.

Various Notes.

T. C. Thurlow's Sons' nurseries at
West Newbury have attracted many
visitors of late, the peony display be-
ing the great attraction. Flowers hero
are later than near Boston and quite
a few varieties will still be in good
shape for the rose and peony show
June 24 and 25.

Peter M. Miller spent a few days
last week in New York, returning to
preside at the monthly club meeting.

William Nicholson has been cutting
some good peonies this season and has
made quite a hit with Aquilegia
cserulea. He still has carnations and
marguerites of fine quality.

W. B. Goodenow, of Stoughton, is
having good success this season with
tomatoes, which he grows to follow
double violets. Comet he finds the best
variety.

Welch Bros, have had good business
so far this month, but anticipate
lighter business after the present week.

W. D. Howard, of Milford, is one of
the most successful of our carnation
growers. The quality of Henry Fenn
and Beacon as handled by George H.
Noyes is equal to what we usually see
in midsummer.

Mrs. J. W. Rogers' store on Sum-
mer street is the nearest one to the
south terminal, where more trains ar-
rive and depart daily than at any other
railroad station in America. Her busi-
ness has this season shown a good in-
crease.

The many local friends of J. B.
Velie, the popular Boston representa-
tive of the Lord & Burnham Co., were
sorry to hear last week of his having
to go through an operation for appen-
dicitis, and hope for his early convales-
cence.

The display of Kalmia latifolia at
the Arnold Arboretum at the base of
Hemlock hill was at its height last
week and, being unusually fine, at-
tracted crowds of visitors.

June 17 this year fell on a Saturday.
It being Bunker Hill day and a local
holiday, cut flower business was not
improved thereby. Many of the grow-
ers and salesmen enjoyed the celebra-
tions during the day in Charleston.

John Barr is preparing to erect his
new Lord & Burnham carnation house,
which will be 35x300, a larger size
than the older ones. Plants in the
field are looking first-class, while the
quality of flowers still being picked
averages high.

E. J. Bhaylor has had numerous
visitors per automobiles, especially dur-
ing the last few days, to see his grand
collection of peonies. He has sold
plants as high as $25 each.

make 20 per cent profit without effort) if you let your customers know you can pe^frm this service
for them. To receive your share — well, The Review's department for Retailers* ^jjj^ remains the

The Maxket.

The busy season has ended in the
florists' business and the midsummer
dullness is upon us, although last week
in the retail circles was a good one.
There was a large number of weddings,
both large and small, but the great bulk
of the work was for school closings, for
which lily of the valley and sweet peas
were in great demand, with not nearly
enough of them to supply it.

Good roses are scarce in this market,
while carnations are quite plentiful, but
poor in quality. Nevertheless, they sold
well because of the scarcity of other cut
flowers. There is quite a raft of out-
door flowers, but they look poor because
of the hot and dry weather. Eain is
badly needed and our local growers say
stock will be scarce if relief does not
come soon. In Kirkwood the growers
have to haul water daily, much of it
from quite a distance.

Seed Trade News.

AMEBIGAN SEED TBADE ASSOCIATION.

Pres., K. L. Pas*. Greene, N. T.; Flrat Vlce-
Prei., L. H. Vaaghan, Chicago; Bec'y an4
Treas., O. B. Kendel, Cleyelana, O. Twenty-
nlnth annual meeting, Marblehead, MaM., June
W to 22. 1011.

The crop reports practically all show
the season from a fortnight to a month
late.

James Wiebens, formerly with the
W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, now is man-
ager of the retail store of the Amzi God-
den .Seed Co., Birmingham, Ala.

William Taat, traveler of M. Van
Waveren & Sons, Hillegom, Holland, and
well known in the seed trade in the
United States, died June 13 in Boston, as
the result of a street car accident.

A recent fire in the Barber Drug &
Seed Store, in Birmingham, Ala., is said
to have caused a loss of about $10,000.
The flames were confined to the third
floor, but the stock on the first and second
floors was badly damaged by water.

John Lewis Childs, Floral Park, N.
Y., has purchased three acres of ground
at Palm avenue and Magnolia street,
South Pasadena, C'al., and will grow
flower seeds. He has just finished the
erection of some long rows of lath houses
for the purpose.

The Iowa Seed Co., of Des Moines, la.,
has let the contract for the erection of
an elevator with a capacity of 100,000
bushels at Altoona, la. It was the origi-
nal intention to build the elevator in Des
Moines, but the necessary space could not
be obtained there. There are excellent
facilities, however, for transportation be-
tween the company's headquarters and
the chosen site.

MARBLEHEAD MEETINQ.

Twenty-ninth A. S. T. A. Convention.

Members of the American Seed Trade
Association are this week holding their
twenty-ninth annual convention at
Marblehead, Mass., one of the most de-
lightful spots that has been visited on
its travels — and it is twenty-seven years
since the association last met in Massa-
chusetts. Because of the summer resort
character of the place of meeting, a
large proportion of the seedsmen are
accompanied by their ladies, and the
social side is well to the fore. The
last year or two the seed trade has been
harassed by many difSculties, particu-
larly those arising from the wave of
ill-advised legislation, which had only
begun to recede at the date of the last
meeting. Since then the legislative
thunder showers have largely blown
over and this year's meeting is with
much clearer skies. Watson S. Wood-
ruff reported for the committee that at-
tended the hearing on pure seed bills
at Washington February 2 and reports
were received from the state corre-
spondents, a staff of workers created
last year. These on the whole tended
to show the tide of restrictive legisla-
tion on the ebb, though the troubles in
this direction are by no means at an
end.

President E. L. Page presented his
annual address, reviewing the work of
the year and outlining the needs of the
future.

The report of Secretary C. E. Kendel
showed 162 annual and two life mem-

The set papers are rather more on
the scientific order than usual, there

being five by department of agriculture
or experiment station experts. The full
program is as follows:

"Points of Interest at Marblehead," by Edgar
Gregory, of Marblehead.

•'The Relation of Soils and Fertilizers to Seed
and Crop Failure," by H. J. Wheeler, Ph. D.,
Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station
of Rhode Island State College.

"Departments of the Seed Business," by W. D.
Ross, Worcester, Mass.

"Distribution of Fungous Diseases by Seeds,"

Botany and State Botanist, Lincoln, Neb.

"Improvements in Grains," by Prof. R. A.
Sloore, of the Wisconsin Agricultural Station,

•The Importance of Line Breeding In the
Establishment of Varietal Forms Suited for

partment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.

At last year's meeting President
Eobinson made a hit by calling on mem-
bers present for crop reports, and these
were made a feature of this year's pro-
gram, not only those present being
called on but arrangements having been
made in advance for night letter re-
ports during the convention from all

what location, circumstances and other
conditions have a great deal to do with
this subject, but as your president has
asked me to speak either for or against
it. I shall take the side in favor of tho
agricultural department store, for that
is really the correct name of a seed
store handling kindred lines. There is
no doubt that the seed department,
whether it be wholesale or retail, is
the most important of all, and requires
more care and attention, and that most
of us can find all the trouble we need
for entertainment in the seed line with-
out resorting to other lines, for I can
assure you there is no department but
has its share of troubles.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Ju.XK 22, 1911.

of the past, as they have added new
lines or side lines and the result ip
that the small specialty store has been
obliged to give up. Some of our large
seed stores have recently consolidated,
I suppose, to reduce the cost of run-
ning expenses and in that way enable
them to do more business at a smaller
percentage of expense — not a bad idea
at all. What has been done in dry
-goods can be done in our line.

Suppose some of us should say that
we would handle only those seeds pay-
ing the largest profit and would not
bother with the seeds usually sold at
a small margin. How long would our
customers continue to trade with us?
Tn order to hold their entire trade we
must be able to supply all their wants,
even if the profits are small on some
articles. We have started many a
good customer by selling him agricul-
tural tools and fertilizer first and aft-
erwards getting h's entire trade in
seedSj poultry supplies, etc.

Just what lines should bo added to
the seed business depends entirely upon
the demand and the local conditions.
The seed business in itself is divided
under several heads or departments.
We might classify them as seed grow-
ers, retail seed dealers, wholesale
seed dealers, wholesale and retail
dealers. Some of our largest deal-
ers do not handle bulbs, while others
make a specialty of that line. Some
of us go into nursery stock, and
on an extensive scale. Other depart-
ments which could be handled sepa-
rately are agricultural implements, fer-
tilizers, poultry supplies, horse goods
and bee-keepers' supplies. This last
line we have added ourselves this sea-
son and so far it has proven satisfac-
tory, but we cannot tell definitely until
the close of the season whether we
shall get stung or not. All of these
departments can be subdivided into
wholesale and retail, counter and mail
order trade.

Poultry and Bee Supplies.

Now why should seed dealers handle
these side I'nes? First, they naturally
go with the seed business. No person
can plant or care for his seed until he
has purchased some implement to pre-
pare the soil, and he naturally expects
to find the necessary tools where he
finds the seed. He must also have fer-
tilizers to make them grow, and if he
keeps poultry he expects to get his in-
cubator, breeder and poultry feeds at
the same store. This branch is in-
creasing fast and we find that the sale
of live chicks or day old chicks, in-
cubator hatched, has been a profitable
venture for us, for it helps trade on
chick feeds and other poultry supplies
and the more poultry kept the more
corn or grain necessary, and this means
more seed planted.

The bee industry is also on the in-
crease, and we are going to have a
greater demand in the future for bee-
keepers' supplies. While there is a
lot of detail to this branch, we have
found that in a short time our man has
become so familiar with it that every-
thing goes along smoothly, and we
have added several hundred new cus-
tomers to our list, not only for bee
supplies but for other goods which
they saw while in the store looking
for bee goods. This I believe will be
a profitable department when once well
established. The margin of profit com-
pares favorably with other depart-
ments.

Fertilizers and Machinery.

Each department should stand its
proportion of the general runn'ng ex-
pense and by handling these different
lines the expense for each department
is reduced to the minimum. Eent and
other expenses go on just the same
after the seed rush is over, and if seed
dealers can handle other lines during
the dull season the expense for the seed
part is reduced just that much.

Many a good lot of seed has been
condemned because it did not receive
the proper amount of fertilizer. The
proper use of commercial fertilizer has
helped the seed business wonderfully
and the sale of these goods is an im-

portant department with some of our
New England seed dealers. While the
percentage of profit is not what it
should be, the volume of business
makes up for this loss, and when direct
shipments are made, as many of them
are, the cost of doing business is lim-
ited to office expense. Such goods can
be handled and stored where rents are
much cheaper than is necessary for
seed storage.

Improved farm machinery has been
a great help to the seed trade, because
it enables the farmers to plant a
greater acreage and each acre means
more seed. It was a wise man who
said: "I will plant more corn, to feed

does, help the whole and enables us
to keep good men the year around,
which is important in these times of
high-priced labor. These men can be
put first in one department and then
in another, for three months is about
as long as we can expect a rush in the
seed business, and good help cannot
be had for so short a time and then
let go. Good men should be kept the
year around if possible.

Our traveling men have practically
three seasons on the road: Seeds in
the fall and winter; fall goods, such
as horse goods, agricultural hardware^
etc., in the spring and summer; and
winter goods, such as poultry supplies,
etc., in the winter.

Chances of Loss.
"While there is no doubt in my mind
that the most money is made in the
retail seed business, it is a fact that
there is also more money lost in the
same department, as prices are just
as liable to decline as they are to ad-
vance and no one can expect always to
buy just at the right time. This fact
was demonstrated to the entire satis-
faction of many of us a year ago on
seed potatoes and many of us have
hauled enough onion sets to the dump
to cover the profit on several good
orders. All of these things must come
in the seed business, but in other de-
partments the chance of loss is not so
great, for, while we may miscalculate
and overbuy on farm machinery, fer-
tilizers, poultry supplies, etc., the
chances for depreciation are not so
great, as they can be carried over from
one season to another without any
great loss, the principal expense be-
ing the interest and storage. Hand-
ling these lines helps to carry you
through a dull season and the old say-
ing, "Do not put your eggs all in one
basket," is very true in handling side
lines in the seed trade.

SEEDS AT BOCKT FOBD.

"The season just closed has been a
most satisfactory one with us," writes
H. D. Garwood, secretary of the Eb-
bert Seed Co., Rocky Ford, Colo., under
date of June 14. "We have had a
healthy increase in our mail-order busi-
ness and also note an increase in the
average eize of the orders. Our con-
tract vine seed orders show an increase
of nearly 200 per cent over last season.
To this date our growing season has
been a most unfavorable one, it having
been a cold, dry and extremely windy
spring. Our growers never before have
experienced so much trouble in getting
a stand, some having planted the third
time and all having had a great deal
of replanting to do. Our season is
about three weeks late, but with favor-
able weather from now on we look for
average crops in most cases." The
seedsman is always an optimist.

JOHN F. RUrr, Flwist Seedsmin.

Shiremanatown, Pa.

When we buy bulbs abroad they
are paid for in pounds sterling in-
stead of in dollars. When you go
abroad your banker gives you a
Traveler's Credit on London — not
on New York, and you likewise pay
tribute to England, whether you
travel in Japan or Australia. This
is because London is the banking
center of the World. When the
Bank of England changes the rate
of interest, the World sits up and
takes notice. Now, the Bank of
England was founded by a Scotch-
man, primarily to keep the Kings
supplied with war money, and in-
cidentally maintain the usual
commercial supremacy. The
strength of this great and powerful
institution is owing largely to the
fact that the Englishman spends
money in accordance with his "in-
come" (pronounced "inkum"),
which is merely the revenue or
earnings of his capital without
regard to his income. That's where
the British are wise. They are safe.
If American business men today
would live within their income,
there would be fewer automobiles
and among florists less glass, but
their capital would be greater and
it would not be long before we had
England beaten to a frazzle, even
though some of our candy-faced
damsels of codfish plutocracy are
annually exported with million
dollar jack-pots as a bonus for the
bankrupt, monocle-eyed element of
fancy British breed. It's about time
the American heiresses made a mop
of the dog-biscuit dukes and cleaned
the earth, instead of licking their
boots for a title. Invest in bulbs
that will net you an income suffi-
cient to warrant the investment, or
don't invest at all. Horseshoe
Brand cold storage Lily Bulbs are
the kind that pay a revenue worth
while.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

JONB 22. 1911.

PACIFIC COAST.

Spokane, Wash. — The florists of this
city have organized a club, which will
be known as the Spokane Greenhouse
Men's Association. The officers are:
President, H. E. Eeimers; vice-presi-
dent, W. S. Van Dorn, Post Falls,
Idaho; secretary, W. J. Burnette, ot
Burnette Bros.; treasurer, Mr. Kelly.
There are nine charter members.

A FRUITLESS HOLLT TBEE.

Can an English holly tree be budded
so as to become berried? It blossoms
every year, but no berries form. The
location is northwestern Oregon.

E. E. C.

It is to be presumed that if the
English holly bears blossoms it will also
bear fruit, and if it does not do so
it may be that it is not yet old enough
to set the fruit or it may be growing
too quickly. The writer had a similar
experience some years ago and brought
the tree around nicely by root-pruning
it early in the spring, as well as short-
ening in the top quite a bit at the same
time. It has since that time borne
heavily every year. It can be easily
grafted, but such a proceeding should
not be necessary when it has already
blossomed. G.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

There is a general oversupply of
stock and prices are on the decline.
The major part of the receipts is con-
signed to the dump, as there seems to
be no other way to dispose of it.
Peonies are in full flower and of fine
quality. Some of the Festiva maxima
blooms measure eight inches across, but
their keeping qualities are ba^ly im-
paired and it is scarcely safeto send
them out on orders.

Roses are the best sellers, on account
of the numerous weddings, while carna-
tions and sweet peas are a drug on the
market. Gloxinias are about the only
available plants, and asparagus and
other greens are scarce.

Various Notes.

The graduating high school classes
brought a considerable demand for
flowers, although far below the stand-
ard of former years, owing to the pro-
fusion of outdoor blooms.

J. T. Dayton, representing the Madi-
son Basketcraft Co., has been a recent
visitor here. E. R, C.

It is reported that a small green-
house will soon be erected at 1926 East
Madison street by Wm. E. Dungery.

LAWN OVERRUN BY MOSS.

Kindly state what to use, in this Ore-
gon climate, to eliminate moss from the
lawn, as it is rapidly displacing the
grass. Would a solution of lime and
sulphur get results? The position is
on an elevation, with an eastern ex-
posure. , E. E. C.

In Oregon, where there is an excess
of moisture for quite a portion of the
year, there is a tendency for moss to
grow at the expense of the grass. This

is especially noticeable in places where
the soil has become somewhat soured or
soggy from an excess of water that has
stood for a long time on some particular
spot. As the place spoken of is on an
elevation, the chances are that the
ground is naturally poor or the grass
has been allowed to deteriorate from
lack of nourishment.

The first thing to be done is to give
the grass a good mulching of well-rotted
manure, with about three shovelfuls of
air-slaked lime well mixed in each bar-
rowful. Lay this on rather thickly and
see that it is evenly spread. If the
grass is extremely thin, it would be
well to rake it over completely before
this and sow a few handfuls of grass
seed before applying the mulching.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

While our eastern cou8in| have been
sweltering in an unsuccessful effort to
keep cool, San Franciscans 'have been
wearing overcoats all day Song in an
effort to keep warm. We*"' have seen
so little of the sun during the month
of June that we are beginning to won-
der what a warm day would feel like,
and cold winds have entirely displaced
everything else except Pacific ocean
fogs. As a consequence, although flow-
ers are not especially plentiful, they
are of better quality than those usually
seen in the shops at this time. Sweet
peas are really about all that are a drug
in the market now. While these are
popular and used in enormous quanti-
ties daily, the supply is so great that
they can be bought at almost any price.
Gladioli are somewhat more plentiful
than they have been, but do not move
welL Other kinds of outside stock
are as usual. Business in the line of
wedding decorations is fair and June
is likely to be a shade better than the
same month last year, if the good work
is kept up.

Various Notes.

Adolph Ludemann is on a few weeks'
trip to Oregon and Washington.

George Fitzgerald, recently of San
Jose, Cal., is with the E. Gift Nursery
Co., of West Berkeley, Cal.

P. McDonell, of Alden, is erecting a
house for Asparagus plumosus.

I. J. Fraser is no longer connected
with the Eden Vale Nursery Co., of
Eden Vale, Cal.

Ferrari Bros, are remodeling several
of their rose houses and will install a
large heating plant to replace the one
in use for the last few years.

George A. Putnam, a prominent horti-
culturist of Ignacio valley, near Marti-
nez, has commenced suit in the Superior
Court against the Oregon Nursery Co.
for $1,624^ the cost of a lot of nursery
stock, which he claims was not as rep-
resented.

John Vallance, manager of the plant
department of C. C. Morse & Co., is on
a trip to Sacramento and vicinity.

Quite a number of local dealers are
attending the sessions of the Pacific
Coast Nurserymen's Association, being
held in San Jose, June 21 to 23.

YELLOW MASGUEBITES.

I bought a lot of yellow marguerites
and they grew great, coarse leaves,
and either did not flower or the flow-
ers were deformed. Can I take cut-
tings from them for another year and
shall I take the fine cuttings or the
coarse onesf A. L. S.

It is a common characteristic of the
yellow marguerites to throw coarse
growths, frequently blind. It is of no
use trying to secure any cuttings at
this season from either yellow or white
varieties. Head the plants back and
plant them outdoors. Better still, if
you can spare a portion of your cold-
frame, plant them out in it and water
them occasionally through the summer.
It is usually September before proper
cuttings can be secured. These should
be thin, rather than coarse, and it is

the government entomologist, by the

the oecretary of Agriculture arbitrary
power to quarantine all nursery ship-
ments from countries where nursery
stock is infested with injurious insects

adopted favoring a federal inspection
law, so that the inspection be not cen-

Entertainment Features.

The principal features of the enter-
tainment program were the Shaw ban-
quet at the Southern hotel Thursday
evening, June 15, and the steamer ride
on the Mississippi the following after-
noon. The will of the late Henry Shaw,,
founder of the Missouri Botanical Gar-
den, provided funds for an annual ban-
quet of horticulturists, and the direc-
tor of the garden took the opportunity
of giving the twenty-second of these
events at a time when he could have
the nurserymen as guests. Nearly 30O
attended. William Trelease, director of
Shaw's Garden, presided as toast-
master. He introduced the first
speaker, J. H. Dayton, of Plaiuvillo,.
Ohio, president-elect of the association,,
who spoke on ' ' Our Guests. ' ' Mr. Day-
ton accounted for his election on the
ground that the association has adopted
the custom of electing its officers on

Weather conditions have changed for
the better within the Jast two weeks;
the atmospliere is much cooler and we
have also been favored with the much
needed rain, which did not come a bit
too soon. With the weather conditions
more favorable, there has been a slight
improvement in the quality of stock, al-
though there is still plenty of room for
greater improvement. While better in
quality the supply is scarce, and it is
at times an utter impossibility to meet
the demand. Everything in the shape
of a flower sold last week, and the
scarcity complaint seemed to be gen-
eral throughout this section of the state.

Carnations, while overabundant ten
days ago, are exceptionally scarce just
at present, and the demand is greater
than the supply. Last week red carna-
tions sold out clean, owing to the fair
high school graduates, who carried large
bunches of these blooms tied with smi-
lax. Other schools used other varieties
of flowers; so, taking it all in all, com-
mencements were a big feature in last
week's business.

June weddings are coming in rapid
succession, consequently the demand
runs good for pink and white roses,
American Beauties and lily of the val-
ley, while Bhea Reid and Richmond were
cleaned out by the commencement de
mand.

Lilies were also a scarce article and
this greatly inconvenienced the florists
in getting out funeral orders, as last
week there seemed to be a good de-
mand along that line, and lilies seem

Dayton were visited by terrific wind
and hail storms the early part of last

The Market.

This has been a record month for
weddings. Nearly all the retailers re-
port bigger sales than ever before and
are well pleased with the business done.
Every day one sees mother and daugh-
ter in the stores arranging for "the
big event." This city has seen several
extra large events this month and the
orders for decorations have been heavy.
White peonies are much in demand for
decorative work and it is well that the
supply is good. Eoses are arriving in
better condition than is usual at this
time of year. Bride and Maid are ex-
cellent; so, also, is Richmond. Beauty,
however, seems poor. Sweet peas and
valley are still coming in plentifully
and in first-class condition. The stems
are long and the blooms excellent. Car-
nations are good for this season of the
year. A few oriental poppies are ar-
riving and are eagerly sought.

There is still a little being done in
the bedding plant trade. The season
has been a particularly good one.

Various Notes.

William Fendley, of Brampton, is
putting some fine valley on the market.

W. J. Lawrence, Eglinton, is busy
replanting.

The Bedford Park Floral Co. has just
about finished replanting and reports
stock in excellent condition. This com-
pany has put up another house, 25x250.
It will be used for roses.

Miller & Sons and the Dale Estate
are putting some fine carnations on the
market.

Frank Duffert has an enormous crop
of peonies.

John Weber is already sending in
some fine fuchsias. He still has a few
obconicas left, which are in good shape.

Mrs. Ford already notices the in-
creased volume of business since mov-
ing to near her old stand on Yonge
street.

A. E. Moore is erecting another house
at his new plant in Georgetown.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

JDNE 22, leii.

PITTSBXJEO.

The Market.

There has been considerable life in
the cut flower business during the last
week. In fact, there has been a short-
age of good roses all the week. The
cause of this was a number of good
weddings and the regular run of school
commencements. The weather, though
too cold for comfort, has at least kept
roses and carnations from getting
worse, and they really did show some
improvement, only the quantity coming
in continues to get less as the season
advances.

Various Notes.

George tichomer, of Connellsville, Pa.,
has had the sad misfortune of losing a
son, 16 years old, who died June 19, of
typhoid fever. Mrs. Schemer and three
of the children are still confined to bed
with the same disease.

Phil Breitmeyer, of Detroit, was a
visitor last week. Hoo-Hoo.

ST. PAUL, MINN.

August S. Swanson, one of the oldest
florists in St. Paul and one of the most
widely known, has sold out to the Mer-
riam Park Floral Co., composed of Jerry
P. Jergenson, Max Kaizer and O. Noer-
quist, all young men of thorough experi-
ence in the various branches of the busi-
ness. Mr. Swanson is leaving the flower
business, after twenty -two years ' active
connection with it, to give his undivided
attention to the coal properties in the
Yukon district owned and operated by
the Five Fingers Coal Co., of which he
is president. He is leaving within a
few days for Dawson for the purpose of
inspecting the property and familiariz-
ing himself with the conditions in that
territory.

Bockford, 111.— Mrs. J. W. Ingalls,
wife of John W. Ingalls, underwent a
serious operation at" the city hospital
Friday morning, June 16, and is getting
along nicely.

Zanesville, O.— Hugh Imlay, who
graduated last week from the Uni-
versity of Illinoi»j will spend the sum-
mer here, but in the autumn plans to
take up landscape work in the east.

ICKLODT, own root, from 2*a-in. pots. $6 00 per

Our other attraction is Lar§^e Bronze Leaved Cannas; they have
no equal, if used in the center of the bed in connection with Scarlet Sage
as a border. Nothing looks more attractive than a bronze center and a fiery
red border. We provided especially for the beds by growing the Cannas,
Robusta and Egandale; both have proved good varieties. The Robusta has
large leaves and is now 2}4 to 3 feet high (the Canna, to make it attractive,
must tie higher than the Sage), 4-in. pots only, $7.00 per 100. We also

The Weekly Florists' Review.

Jdnb 22, 1911.

NEW BEDFORD.

The Market.

The usual summer dullness prevails
here. Flowers are quite plentiful.
Funeral work continues good. Carna-
tions retail at 50 cents per dozen; a few
sell at 25 cents per dozen; roses at $1
and $1.50 per dozen; sweet peas at $1
per hundred. Gladioli are now being
shown in the florists' windows; $1.50
per dozen is the retail price. Bedding
plants continue to sell well.

We are having warm weather here.
All the young carnation stock is planted
out. The street fakers were selling car-
nations at 1 cent each on Saturday, June
17. Outdoor roses are now in full
bloom. Garden work is still in full
swing, but by the end of the month it
will have slackened off somewhat. We
need rain badly.

Various Notes.

The annual rose show of the New Bed-
ford Horticultural Society will be held
in the last part of this month. Great
interest is being shown in this event.

R. H. Woodhouse and his son, John,
sail June 24 for Londonderry on the
steamer Caledonia, for a three months'
visit. W. L.

WEST OROVE, PA.

American Pillar roses are now in
full bloom at the nursery of the Conard &
Jones Co. One lot was planted last
June, another July 12, from 2%-inch
pots, and each is a mass of bloom.
Anyone seeing these plants can easily
understand why this variety created
such a sensation at the Temple Show,
London, last year. Alongside of these
is a row of Hiawatha planted at the
same time, under similar conditions. It
would be interesting for rose lovers to
note and see the difference in these va-
rieties. Philadelphia is also showing
up grandly. The recent rains have
brought out the color wonderfully.

HOW ABOUT YOUR EMPTY BENCHES?

After Decoration Day you have empty benches. Will it pay you to have
them empty? Take a few minutes to think and consider which will pay the
best. Chrysanthemums? No, I know something better. I plant a bench or
two with asters, in July, and in August I cut them. That gives me time to re-
fill my benches with a fine lot of fall and holiday plants, such as cyclamen,
ferns and poinsettiaa, roses and other plants suitable for my fall business. I
am going to write an order right away to Godfrey Aschmann, Philadelphia,

The Weekly Florists' Review.

Jdni 22, 1911.

EVANSVILLE, IND.

The Market.

A large number of funerals last week
kept the florists busy. Eoses and carna-
tions are plentiful, but of only fair qual-
ity. My Maryland seems to stand the
heat well, the flowers being large and
of fine color. Bridesmaid is of good
color, but small.

Various Notes.

Julius Niednagel has arrived home
after his long trip. His firm is cutting
lots of carnations. They are drying off
part of the roses and have some already
making a nice growth. The carnations
in the field look well.

The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. has
had a busy time with funerals and Juno
commencements. This company is cut-
ting lots of roses and carnations of good
quality and has received some plants
of the new rose, Hilda, and will give it
a trial.

Ben Kramer has something to do at
all times. Mrs. Kramer was visiting
out of the city last week.

Eoyston & Fenton are giving a part
of their roses a rest and will have some
started over this week. E. L. F.

WASHINGTON, D. C.

At the last meeting of the Florists'
Club it was announced that arrange-
ments had been completed for the an-
nual outing to Chesapeake Beach,
which will occur July 26. It was stat-
ed that a program had been worked
out which promises to make the trip
the most enjoyable one ever taken by
the members of the organization.

Superintendent W. R. Smith of the
Botanic Gardens made an address, in
which he declared that Washington is
the most beautiful of the world 's cities.
The club indorsed the proposed Sunday
closing law and passed resolutions on
the death of Edward A. Moseley, late
secretary of the interstate commerce
commission.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Junk 22, 1911.

MB. BAUB'S PLANS.

A large proportion of the members
of the trade have by this time been
informed, through the announcements
in The Review and otherwise, of the
dissolution of the firm of Baur & Smith,
Indianapolis, Ind. The firm was com-
posed of A. F. J. Baur and F. S.
Smith. Mr. Baur will hereafter con-
duct a wholesale business only, with
his office at 3800 Bockwood avenue, In-
dianapolis. Mr. Smith will continue in
the retail business at 330 West Thirty-
eighth street.

Mr. Baur is so well known, both in
this country and abroad, as a carnation
specialist and as secretary of the
American Carnation Society, that hosts
of readers will be greatly interested in
his plans for the future. He says:

"I have taken over the entire prop-
erty known as Baur & Smith's new
place and will carry on a wholesale
business along the same lines as the
old firm has been doing, except that
the list of plants carried will be more
restricted. I will specialize in carna-
tions, chrysanthemums, geraniums and
poinsettias. The raising of new car-
nations will continue to be a leading
feature with me. I am propagating
large quantities of poinsettias and am
preparing a big stock of geraniums for
next fall and winter. Only a few va-
rieties of geraniums will be grown, but
they will be the best in the various
colors for bedding.

"I have always held that no medi-
um sized place can carry on both
wholesale and retail business satisfac-
torily, and I intend to confine my busi-
ness to the wholesale end. I have all
the stock of new carnations formerly
owned by the old firm, and will dis-
seminate those which are worthy.

"No new glass will be put up this
season, but I have glass enough on the
place, bought last winter, to nearly
double the place in 1912. I intend to
push the business more than it has been
in the past."

greenhouse for the growing of lettuce
for market. We wish especially to
get information relative to the heating.

A. L. W. C.

Many lettuce houses are now built
without any benches for the plants,
and the lettuce is grown on the ground,
just as in the garden. Hot water heat
is used quite generally by lettuce grow-
ers and I believe is the most satisfac-
tory heat for the purpose. The pipes
are huug on the walls. Where raised
benches are used, however, the pipes
are usually hung underneath the Jjench-
es. Considering everything, I would
advise houses without benches, but
with good, high eave plates or gutters.
I would not recommend low houses for
anything.

The style or size of house does not
matter much, but I consider an equal-
span house, running east and west, a
little the best. The width should be
in proportion to the length, etc. For
instance, if the length is to be only 100
feet, I would not make an extremely

Palmetto and Bonvallet's Giant are
both fine varieties of asparagus. I do
not know of any that can excel them.

It is too late now to transplant the
plants. This should be done early in
the spring. Get one-year-old roots and
plant them deep, say three or four
inches below the surface. You could
plant seed now and have your own
yearling plants next spring, but it is
getting late and they would need water
frequently to get them to do well. For

Greenhouse Heating.

HEAT FOB USTTUCE HOUSE.

We wish to aslf you how to pipe our
greenhouse for steam heat. The house
is 20x100 feet. There are two feet ot
glass in the sides and the south end
is all glass. There are raised benches.
Can we use 1^-inch pipe? We want
to grow lettuce in the fall and winter,
and potted plants in spring and sum-
mer. We are located in northeastern
Ohio. L. A. E. & S.

There will be no diflBculty about us-
ing 114-inch pipe for the coils and re-
turn pipes. The main feed pipe from
the boiler should be 2-inch. This pipe
should branch at the end of the house
into two l^^-inch pipes to connect with
the coils, of which there should be one
on each side wall, with five 1%-inch
pipes in each. These should run around
the south end to the center, or to the
door if there is one. The coils should
be given a slight fall, and from the
end of each there should be a connec-
tion with a 1^-inch pipe to carry the
drip back to the boiler. There should
be an air cock in the end of each coil.
This piping should give a temperature
of 50 to 55 degrees in zero weather.

DOES NOT HEAT EVENLY.

At present we have one greenhouse,
running east and west. We expect to
extend this house and also to build an-
other house, parallel with the present
one, but detached from it. No. 1 is
the present greenhouse, a carnation
house, erected in 1909. It is 42x150
feet, seven feet high to the eaves and
eighteen feet to the ridge, with three
feet of glass in each side and glass
ends. This house does not heat evenly,
but has a temperature of 50 degrees
near the boiler and 60 degrees at the
opposite end. It contains twenty-eight
2-inch pipes, six of them under each of
the outside bedd and four under each
of the other four beds. The water is
carried to the far end by one 4-inch
overhead flow, which is highest just
over the boiler and is connected at the
far end with manifolds under the beds,
for the 2-inch returns. How can we
make the system heat more evenly!
We want a temperature of 50 to 55
degrees throughout the house, as we
grow only carnations in it.

House No. 2 is a proposed 100-foot
extension to house No. 1. It will be
built next year and will be used for
carnations. No. 3 is a proposed new
house for roses, parallel with No. 1, as
already stated, but not connected. It
will be 42x250, with walls of the same
height and the same construction as in
house No. 1. It will Require a tem-
perature of 55 to 65 degrees. It will
contain five beds, eacy six feet wide
and extending the full length of the
house except the walks at each end.

The question states that one 4-inch
flow and twenty-eight 2-inch returns
are used to heat a house 42x150 feet.
From this it will be seen that the 4-
inch flow has to supply about 2,200
square feet of radiating surface; also
that there is the equivalent of thirty
2-ineh pipes in a house forty-two feet
wide, which would be suflScient to heat
the house to 63 degrees if the piping is
properly arranged.

The reason why the temperature va-
ries at the different ends of the house
is because it is not possible to prop-
erly supply twenty-eight 2-inch pipes

I have 7800 sq. ft. of glass; this boiler would take' care of about two trreenhoujes of the

would be sufficient to maintain nearly
65 degrees, and if 50 degrees is all
that is required, the removal of eight
or ten of the pipes would bring the
radiation down where it should be,
and, as the main could then supply
these fairly well, the temperature would
be much more uniform. An even bet-
ter way to pipe the house would be to
put in five 2 ^^ -inch flow pipes and
twenty 2-inch returns. Or, if house
No. 2 is to be piped through the same
coils, use four 3-ineh flows and twenty
2-inch returns running through both
houses, to secure 55 degrees.
. For the rose house, 42x250 feet, iise
five 3-inch flows and twenty-five 2-inch
returns. Connect the boilers by means
of one 6-inch or two 5-inch flows, and
returns of the same size. Connect the
expansion pipes with the highest part
of- the flow and take off the mains to
the different houses. Eun these with a
slight fall through the houses and dis-
tribute them on the walls and posts or
suspend them from the roof, as will
be found most convenient. Also give
the returns a drop of one inch in
twenty feet.

RADIATION IN DWELLINGS.

In the reply to J. F. C, in The Re-
view of June 15, page 78, an error oc-
curred in giving the formula for esti-
mating the radiation required in the
dwelling. It should have read: For
the dwelling use as many square feet
of radiating surface as there are square
feet of exposed glass, plus ten per cent
of the area of exposed wall surface, or
five per cent of the wall surface when
adjacent to an unheated room, plus one
per cent of the cubic contents of the
room.

The Market.

With plenty of work in the various
lines, market conditions have been quite
satisfactory. While stock was cleaned
up every day, the supply the next day
would be great enough to meet all de-
mands. Valley and sweet peas, owing
to the numerous June weddings, found
ready sale. Roses, too, came into promi-
nence, and the supply of these, in extra
good quality, was just about equal to
the demand. Good carnations are be-
coming scarcer from day to day, due, no
doubt, to the recent hot spell, which
took the "tuck" out of most of the in-
door stock. Lilies, which have been
hanging fire for some time, are again
holding their own. The new crop of
common ferns is of good quality; in
fact, taking it all in all, the green goods
market is well supplied.

All outdoor crops are looking fine,
owing to the bounteous rains within the
last fortnight.

This week ought to be a good one,
as most of the commencement exercises
take place now. Even though there are
rules prohibiting the custom of sending
flowers for these occasions, the florists
have found that these rules have had
little or no effect.

Various Notes.

The J. Sherer Co., which conducted
a flower store on Wisconsin street for
about a year, has again transferred the
property to James Chacona, who was
proprietor previous to his trip to his na-
tive land.

John Arnold, whose greenhouses are
located at Port Washington and Green
Bay roads, will, as soon as the rush is
over, erect an apartment building on
his premises. This will necessitate the
removal of one of his greenhouses.

The thirty-third convention of the
National Singers' Society will be held
in this city June 23 to 26, and quite a
few who are connected with the florists'
business will be met here then. A great
deal of cedar wreathing will be used
for this occasion.

The Holton & Hunkel Co. reports an
extra good week in shipping trade.

At the establishment of the C. C.
PoUworth Co. there seems to be no let-
up; business is rushing all the time.

"It was one continual rush all last
week, filling orders for all occasions,"
is the report of the Currie Bros. Co.,
and, with the graduation exercises this
week, they expect to keep on hustling.

The best Labor Saving

device on the place

Charles Moebius, West Toledo, Ohio, writes us :

"We find the Skinner System the best labor savingf device we
have on the place, and in fact we could not do without it. It will
water the ground evenly and will not cake the soil. We think the
man away out of date that uses a hose, as he will not be able to grow
such fine stuff without your watering device."
This is but one of hun-

dreds of similar letters we
have gotten from florists all
over the country.

FURNISHED in continuous lengths of 5 ooTeet.
An exceptionally high grade hose manufactured
with a woven jacket insertion instead of cotton
duck, and with specially selected rubber in the inner 1
tube and cover.^

The woven jacket construction makes a stronger
hose than can be obtained from cotton duck, and I
absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening
at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on
cotton duck. This construction also gives a more
flexible hose and reduces the possibility of kinking. '
"Magic" Hose is guaranteed to stand a pressure
of 500 pounds per square inch, although its bursting ^
pressure is far in excess ot this.

BAliTIMOBE.

The Market.

Last week was one of the most dis-
agreeable in the history of June, with
continuous heavy rains and chilly
nights, a direct reversal of the exces-
sive heat at the beginning of the month.
This being the commencement season,
however, there was more activity than
would otherwise have been the case,
and a large number of weddings and
receptions, with a good demand for
funeral work, all contributed to round-
ing out a good week.

The unseasonable weather has been
injurious to bedding stock, and there is
a good demand for plants to replace
those previously set out, which have
failed to start oflf well, but the local
supply of good, sturdy plants is nearly
exhausted.

One of the noticeable improvements
this season has been the large number
of rose bushes that have been sold.

Various Notes.

This city was visited by a disastrous
hail storm, Monday, June 12. Nearly
one-half of the florists were hard hit,
some places losing three-fourths of their
glass. Isaac H. Moss suffered damage
amounting to $8,000, James A. Hamil-
ton lost nearly $10,000, and F. C. Bauer,
Stevenson Bros., M. Thau, G. M, Cook
and C. J. Gregorius were also sufferers.

The heaviest storm was around
Govanstown and Towson, where the hail-
stones were as large as walnuts. Thou-
sands of dollars' worth of plants were
ruined by the falling glass. Carnations
and all kinds of outdoor plants were
mowed to the ground and shrubbery
looked as though it had just been
pruned. There is a short, supply of
glass in Baltimore and a good deal of
it will be ordered from out of town.

A. Spath, Jr., & Son, at Embla Park,
in this city, report considerable damage
to their greenhouses from the terrific
hail storm of Monday evening, June
12. About 1,500 panes, 16x18, were
broken out, but practically no growing
stock was damaged, as the storm came
just at the time when the greenhouses
were empty, prior to being filled with
mums and other fall crops. The dam-
age was estimated at about $500. An
order has been placed with the Pitts-
burgh Plate Glass Co. for sixty-one
boxes of 16x18 glass, with the putty and
other necessary materials, and the work
of rebuilding will begin at once. This
firm has been in Embla Park for only
two years.

Deny, N. H.— W. J. Kingsbury's
Franklin street greenhouses were well
patronized during the Memorial sea-
son. Every flower that he could cut
was required for bouquets.

DETBOIT.

The Market.

Business remains good. This month,
as usual, has called for a great variety
of work. The commencements are
creating their usual big demand for
stock. Weddings are also causing a
heavy demand, although the decorations
are not so numerous this year.

The extremely hot weather in May
had its effect on the quality of stock.
Eoses are small; so, also, are carnations.
Peonies have been good.

Club Meeting.

A well attended meeting of the De-
troit Florists' Club was held June 19.
The entertainment committee was
authorized to make arrangements for
holding the outing at Bois Blanc, the
date to be announced later. An invita-
tion was received from the Michigan
Cut Flower Exchange to be the guests
of the company sometime in the near
future.

H. B. Dorner, of the University of
Illinois, addressed the members on the
work at the experiment^il station at
Urbana, 111. He spoke of the untiring
efforts of the Illinois florists to bring
about the appropriation by the legis-
lature for carrying on this valuable
work. Twenty million square feet of
glass are devoted to the growing of
plants and flowers in the state of Illi-
nois alone. In 1907 the sum of $15,000
was appropriated and in 1909 the sum
of $16,000, showing that Illinois is
doing its share for floriculture. Mr.
Dorner is very enthusiastic about his
work and his talk was most instructive
and interesting.

Various Notes.

Breitmeyer's have discontinued their
branch at 211 Woodward avenue. Work
on their new store is progressing
rapidly.

Mrs. Sullivan, though steadily im-
proving, is still at St. Mary's h..3pital.
This is the sixth week of her stay
there.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

JCNB 22, 1011.

KlTANDARD PUMPING ENGINES do not compete with any other pumping outfits because the
BJ Standard is in a class of its own, having special features designed expressly to meet
the needs of Florists and Gardeners. These features are not found in other engines and pumps
and can be obtained only with the Standard. You will be more interested when you get our
catalogue and learn how we can save you time and money and get you better results with less labor—
A Standard catalogue is the first mile post on the road to prosperity— we send it on request.

The Market.

All kinds of stock are scarce. Boses
are small and carnations are not plenti-
ful and the prices on them are high.
Outdoor stock is also scarce, as it is
too dry and hot. No rain has fallen
for many weeks, causing grass and
shrubbery to die in the yards.^ Sweet
peas will be a failure, green aphis hav-
ing a great hold on them, and the hot
wind is killing the stems. Gladioli are
not in yet and few are expected. Asters,
if not watered, are burning in the
fields.

Various Notes.

The Rock Flower Co. is making large
preparations to grow violets, a great
many of which will be grown in cold-
frames. Their roses are looking fine
and a big force of men are busy get-
ting in new soil. Some of the soil has
been shipped in from quite a distance
and a test will be made to see if better
stock cannot be grown in Missouri. The
carnations in the field are looking fine,
considering the exceedingly dry weath-
er. They are growing their asters un-
der tall sheds shaded with laths. These
laths are woven with wire and can be
handled easily; the wind cannot
throw them and the sun has no effect
on the laths, as the wire holds them
straight. Their hydrangeas, in bloom
under some large shade trees, are extra
fine. The large lake of water is about
exhausted and the city's 8-inch main
will soon be tapped to supply them.

Charles Humfeld, of Clay Center,
Kan., made us a visit last week. He
reports dry weather and excessive heat.
His carnations are in full crop at pres-
ent. They are just finishing up a 15-
acre patch of sweet potatoes. He is
using a machine this year that plants
and waters each plant as fast as the
two horses draw it.

E. H. Frandsen reports a good spring
trade. He is now looking up material
for one more greenhouse.

Andy Arnold reports that he is about
all sold out. He had a splendid trade.

Jacob Tobler did not go to the market
square this season to sell his plants.
His home trade takes all he cair grow.
His business was fine.

Humfeld-Orear Floral Co. reports a
splendid trade. They Bad hard work to
find enough plants to supply the de-
mand.

L. Orear is one of the happiest men
in the southern part of the city. An
eight and one-half pound boy arrived
June 11. Mother and baby are doing
well. The boy's grandpa says that it
is the finest boy he has ever seen.

clad type was followed for drugs or
dry goods, furniture or furnishings.
But nowadays stores are designed with
direct reference to the business to be
carried on. The chain of stores cor-
poration adopts a distinctive front,
and one quite different from that
which would be wanted by a decorator;
the ladies' tea room tears out the front
the drug store used and puts in one as
different as possible, with interior
trimmings to match.

"Whyf Because the up-to-date busi-
ness man thoroughly understands that
individuality, if not beauty, is a com-
mercial asset. So he pays skilled art-
ists to design his advertisements, and
skilled architects to design his build-
ing. He knows the public is not at-
tracted by ugly things.

Improvement in Flower Shops.

It is only within recent years that
retail florists have given thought to
special construction to meet the needs
of their individual line of business. In
the beginning of retail flower selling
in practically all the smaller cities, the
florist merely rents a vacant store, puts
in some fixtures and is ready for busi-
ness. Eventually, however, the florist

comes to want something distinctive.
Then he either remodels an old build-
ing or builds one suited to his need.

So here's a flower shop carefully
planned for beauty and service. With
slight modifications the plans can be
adapted to any special circumstance;
the store either can be erected from
the bottom up, complete, or some of
the ideas suggested can be embodied
in the alteration of a building already
standing.

A Distinctive Front.

The flower store front should break
away from the commonplace lines of
the other buildings in the block; the
dead level of commonplaceness never
attracts special attention. Therefore,
in the plan, three cream white columns
carry the arches and brick work —
tapestry or some similar rough, pic-
turesque brick is proper here. Then,
just below the coping, a line of brack-
ets carries a long, copper-covered box,
which can be filled with evergreens in
winter and planted with geraniums and
vincas, or with any number of other
suitable subjects, for summer decora-
tion.

A flower shop should be a flower
shop I

The Interior.

Inside comes a salesroom. The inte-
rior fixtures must be planned in accord-
ance with the florist's own ideas.

Many modern flower shops contain no
counters, while some have no ice-box,
the stock being displayed on tables.
But the average store in small cities
will want shelving or display cases
along one wall, with a counter in front,
and the glass-fronted refrigerator on
the other side of the store.

In the present instance leaded glass
doors across the rear add to the at-
tractiveness of the interior. At the
left one pair of these doors opens upon
a smaU yard; tthe other pair, into a
conservatory. A variation from the
plan would be to put a workroom at
the rear, instead of in the basement,
as is intended in the present instance.
If the workroom were to go at the
rear, it would be wise to place a spe-
cially built refrigerator across the
store at the partition dividing sales-
room from workroom. In this case
plate glass doors in front would give
the salesmen access to the stock, while
doors in the rear of the box would
permit access from the workroom.
Also, the box would be built so that
ice would be put in from the work-
room, thereby saving much disorder
which cannot be escaped if the box is
located wholly within the salesroom.

One of the greatest conveniences a
flower store can have, however, is a
conservatory. If decorating is part jof
the florist's business, he must have
some place to store his plants. Also,
stock for sale keeps better, looks bet-
ter and sells better if kept in a green-

house, instead of in the store. At holi-
day times, especially, such a conve-
nience is of value.

But these features depend entirely
on the width and depth of the lot. The
plans must be altered to meet the needs
of each individual case. But the style
of construction can be followed, no
matter what the adaptations.

Details of Construction.

Now for more definite detail of con-
struction. The wood columns in the

Section Plan for Flower Store.

(Scale 's-inch to one foot.)

front are merely ornamental coverings,
the actual load being carried by slen-
der pillars of iron pipe within the hol-
low woodwork. Plate glass with green
copper frames makes the bulk window.
The panel work at the base of this is
of this same green copper. At the
line of the springing of the arches an
upper floor is laid in the window.
Here more plants can be set or fancy
articles from the stock of florists' sup-
plies can be shown. Over to the right
of the entrance is a small show win-
dow, a plate glass mirror backing this
up and doubling its eflfectiveness. The
lot width has been taken as sixteen
feet, about the average size of small,
single-store frontages. There is no
reason, however, why a front of
greater size might not use this design
by adding a third archway, holding
another show window.

The window-box over the arches is
covered by green copper. An iron
water pipe full of small holes runs
along this, with valve connection with
the plumbing, giving the means of
watering the plants in the box without
effort. The box should have proper
drainage, surplus water escaping by a
drain pipe to the roof gutter.

Instead of a flat roof, we have one
with considerable pitch. This allows
an effective arching of the ceiling, far
more beautiful than the usual level
affair, and less expensive, since the
side walls of the building may be kept
comparatively low.

Workroom and Conservatory.

There is nothing of note about the
basement, save that it extends under
the sidewalk and is lighted by prism
glass. Here the workroom and storage
rooms will be located, if it is more con-

venient to place the workroom there
than to extend the building and locate
it on the street level. In the basement,
also, is a small hot water heater to
warm store and conservatory.

One point about the conservatory:
Its location at left or right will de-
pend naturally on the exposure, and
the elaborateness of the construction
will depend on the view from the
street. If placed on the opposite side
of the rear entrance from the one
shown, it would be well if the entrance
of the store also should be set over.
This cannot be done if the store hap-
pens to be on the corner, but in that
case a number of other modifications
will be necessary. The point in having
the store entrance directly opposite the

doors to the conservatory is to provide
as long a view as possible for the cus-
tomer opening the door.

Color Scheme and Lighting.

The outside color scheme is in three
tones: Dark brownish-red bricks, verdi-
gris-green copper and cream white col-
umns. The inside, however, is buff,
sand-finished plaster and white enamel.
But the floor should be of large, square
red tiles. These tiles, though, should
not extend behind the counter, if there
is one. Nothing but ordinary pine
flooring goes there, else the sales peo-

ple will be needlessly lamed and tired
from standing on a hard, inelastic sur-
face.

The hghting question deserves care-
ful consideration, but it depends much
on local conditions. At any rate, there
should be a series of small electric
bulbs, green and white alternately,
along between the brackets of the win-
dow-box over the front. These lights
will be extremely effective peeping
through the foliage of the trailing
plants. For the windows small Tung-
sten lamps should be set in reflectors
along the top, to throw the illumination
downward and not outward, into the
eyes of passers-by. Within the store a
line of similar lamps could be hidden
over the cornice, casting their light up
against the arched ceiling, from which
it is then reflected down. This method
is being used very successfully in fac-
tories, where it gives a pleasant, dif-
fused effect, while at the same time
affording adequate illumination. Finally,
of course, there should be plenty of
lamps in the conservatory.

Estimating the Cost.

It is useless to give any estimate of
the cost of such a building, for prices
vary enormously in different sections
of the country, in addition to which
practically everyone who makes use of
the suggestions here given will make
different modifications of the plans to
meet his own needs. But if these pages
are taken to a local architect he can
readily make such adaptations as are
needed and can prepare an approximate
estimate of the cost that will be close
enough to show whether the advantages
of having, next season, a store with an
individuality make it worth while
going on with the work.

A TANK FOB MANXTBE WATEB.

Will you please tell me the best way
to build a manure water tankf "We have
100,000 feet of glass. We shall use a
gasoline pump. C. S.

Much depends upon the arrangement
of the buildings. Convenience in get-
ting the manure into and out of the pit
should be considered, and if it can be
located outside, where a steam pipe can
keep it from freezing, it can be handled
with little difficulty. For the winter, at
least, it should have a roof, a portion of
which should be removable.

A suitable size would be eight feet
wide by twenty to thirty feet long, ac-
cording to the crops to be grown and
the amount of the liquid that will be
used, with a depth of five to six feet, of
which not more than three or four need
be below the surface. The walls should
be of grout, ten inches thick at the bot-
tom and tapering to six inches at the
top. Across one corner should be a par-
tition, with an opening at the bottom
one foot square, closed by an iron or
wooden screen with a rather coarse
mesh. Outside this partition there
should be a "well," about two feet
deeper than the pit itself, from which
the liquid manure can be pumped. The
bottom of the tank should consist of
about four inches of grout and may be
given a slope of a foot toward the well.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS

STABTINa HABDY PEBENNIALS.

I have several hundred each of the
following hardy plants just coming up
from seed: Hollyhock, coreopsis, fox-
glove, poppy and sweet william. When
they get about two inches tall I intend
to transplant them to beds, 6x12 feet,
in which I shall put about five inches
of horse manure and on top of that
three or four inches of soil. Kindly
let me know whether the plants will
live through the winter in these beds.
I am located near Cleveland, O., where
the temperature seldom gets below zero
in winter. I have sashes to cover these
beds, and also plenty of dead leaves.
If I should use the sashes or leaves, or
both, when should they be put on and
when taken offt When is the best time
to put in seed of hardy plants, so as to
have good, strong plants next April?
Kindly let me know whether there is a
hardy salvia and a hardy variety of
stocks. I should also like to know
whether hardy plants, from seed put in
the hotbed about the middle of Febru-
ary this spring, will blossom this sum-
mer. I was told that no hardy plants
will blossom the first season, or, if they
do, that the blossoms will be weak. Any
information you can give me on the
growing and wintering of hardy plants
will be greatly appreciated. How many
hardy plants, on an average, will one
of these beds, 6x12 feet, hold! L. S.

You are making the beds extremely
rich for the hardy plants you have
named. If, instead of transplanting to
these beds, you will plant out in the
field in nursery rows, you will get much
better plants. Plant the hollyhocks a
foot apart in the rows and allow the
same distance for Coreopsis grandiflora
and foxgloves. The sweet williams and
poppies can be set more closely. Planted
out in this way and kept well culti-
vated, they will make big, strong plants
before fall. In the beds you have pre-
pared the probability would be that you
would plant too closely and thus spoil

To Members : ' -

Secretary Dorner is sending each member of the Society of American Florists
and Ornamental Horticulturists a message calling for just a little effort on the part
of each individual member, and it is earnestly hoped that every member will respond
promptly.

It is requested that each member send in one new name for membership in the
Society. There is not one member who can not easily do so, and this action, by
increasing the membership, would mean a great deal for the welfare of the Society
and the trade in general. As the secretary points out in his message, the florists
are greatly indebted to the Society for its excellent work in the past, and a large
membership roll will most certainly give it strength when there are wrongs, local
or national, to be righted in the future.

The Society needs the support of all the trade, and each niember should see that
every commercial establishment in his locality is represented in the national organi-
zation. Open the campaign now by securing one new member. Take advantage of
the local club meetings and summer outings to talk it up with those in attendance,
pointing out that each name added to the list increases the usefulness of the Society
and makes it stronger when it has a case to present before the courts, the legislatures,
the express companies, the interstate commerce commission, the railroads, or any
other body which has power to extend or withhold privileges.

In other lines of business grievances are quickly removed .by close organization
of the interests affected, and our difficulties in making new laws and amending old
ones would be greatly reduced if we could present a more united front and batter
down the opposition. Farmers and others get what they want in this way and there
is no reason why we should not get prompt consideration if each member of the
organization does his duty now. The work is light — secure one new name now, and
this strengthened membership will just double the power of the organization in
acquiring rights and privileges too long denied us.

I say again, we need added force, the strength of numbers. Business conditions
grow more strenuous every year and we need the assistance of everyone in every
effort for the general good. The Society exists for the good of all and every man
in the trade should help.

much of the stock. All the plants
named, if planted in well drained
ground, where no water can stand, will
winter if given a light covering of
leaves when the ground is firmly frozen.
Do not apply it earlier, as it only causes
some of the plants to damp off. I say
advisedly a light covering; a heavy one
would kill a large proportion of the
plants. Lay some brush over the leaves
to prevent them from blowing away,
and do not remove them until the early
part of ApriL It is best not to be in
too big a hur^ about uncovering, espe-
cially if there are sharp April frosts.

You can lift the coreopsis and fox-
gloves, if desired, as they are the least
reliably hardy of the varieties named,
and plant fairly thickly under coldframe
sashes for the winter, merely giving
them a coating of leaves. Treated thus,
not a plant should be lost.

From April to July is a suitable
time to sow seeds of most perennials for
flowering the following year. Some va-
rieties, like aquilegias, are better sown
in April, but it is a good time now to
sow foxgloves, Canterbury bells, core-
opsis, delphiniums, pyrethrums, rockets,
lychnis, lupines and other varieties,
while a little later is better for pansies,
myosotis and daisies.

There are several hardy salvias, in-

cluding azurea, sky blue; Pitcheri, dark
blue; Sclarea, purple and white, and
pratensis, deep blue. The last named
IS one of the most intense blues we have
in hardy plants. It is better to lift the
roots and heel them in a coldframe over
winter. There are no hardy stocks like
the annual ten weeks' type, but perhaps
you have in mind the hardy rockets,
Hesperis matronalis, which are some-
times classed as stocks.

Seeds of quite a few hardy perennials,
if put in as early as February, will
flower the same year. Some, such as
Delphinium Chinense, will bloom even
if sown now. Some of those which will
flower the first season are: Lupines,
larkspurs. Lobelia cardinalis, some of
the varieties of Shasta daisy, lychnis,
hibiscus and asters. Of course, all
bloom more strongly the following year.

A bed 6x12 will not hold over 300
sweet Williams; in fact, if the plants
grow well, they would be crowded, and
only half this number of Canterbury
bells, coreopsis and hollyhocks could be
accommodated. There are some weaker
growing sorts, such as aquilegias, Del-
phinium Chinense, heucheras, etc.,
which can go much more closely. Of
course, seedlings transplanted after
July could be plp^nted more thickly in
the beds. C. W.

THE RETAIL

I'^^^ci^)^^' FLORIST......

A SUMMER SELLEB.

The florist with the empty store in
summer also is the one with the empty
cash-drawer. Of course summer is a
quiet season, but it is neither necessary
nor wise to shut up shop. Keep the
store looking fresh and attractive and
there will be visitors; carry some
bright, clean stock and there will be
buyers. No need at all to let things
run down to just funeral work.

For example, more fern dishes can
be sold in summer than are sold in
winter, especially in the cities, where
people do not have gardens. The flat-
dwellers want something for the table
and the fern dish takes the place of
the cut flowers that are none too good
in summer.

Nearly all flower stores in residence
districts have facilities for filling fern
dishes for their customers; they have
to have,^for the demand is steady and
valued customers will go elsewhere if
not taken care of on this need and,
besides, there is a good profit in it.
Most florists, too, now sell fern dishes,
but how often does the florist show
fern dishes, filled, ready for sale! Not
often. And still less frequently does
one see a flower store making a special
drive on fern dishes, the way the candy
store next door always is doing with
one thing or another.

Fern dishes, nicely filled, will sell if
they are shown, not only in winter but
in summer, and the duller trade is the
more time the florist has to think up
plans for attracting special attention
to his shop.

NASTURTIUM NOTIONS.

Fine Effects at Slight Cost.

With a flower that blooms so easily
•from June to October and can be sold
so cheaply as nasturtiums, there is a
good opportunity to realize on decora-
tive work and improve on a reputation
in that line also. With the fluwers
obtainable by the thousand and leaves
by the ten thousand, with buds thrown
in, the most striking and handsome
effects, as well as dainty and cunning
arrangements, can be devised.

Neither need there be a stop at
flowers and foliage, for in many places
entire plants and beds of them can be
transplanted and remain in good shape
for a series of functions lasting through
several days. There is a growing tend-
ency to use live plants in this way,
and it is a long stride in the right
direction. Many times we strive to
produce the effect of growing plants
with cut flowers and foliage, and here
is the whole to be had for the mere
transplanting. Not only for decorating
private residences, but also for the
hotel and restaurant trade, this prac-
tice ought to be encouraged. Better
(results from an artistic standpoint,
and benefits which are more lasting, I

are the best of inducements along this
line. When once a taste for helps like
this is established in the summer by
the use of cheaper flowers, there will
be a stronger inclination to keep it up
during the rest of the year, even at a
higher rate for greenhouse flowers.

Unaided by Other Flowers.

The charm of this flower appears in
a surprisingly large number of ways, if
developed by liberal designing. There
is scarcely any other flower which in
combination will add to the attraction
of nasturtiums. White and the orange
salmon sweet peas or marguerites
might be tolerated, but without feeling
or reason. Marigolds or zinnias, being
unlike in habit, would be in decidedly
bad taste. There are soft browns and
creams which, so far as color goes,
would fill the bill in numbers of other
flowers, but not in the way of form
harmony. Water lilies in yellow and
cream might be used in the same room,
but not so well in direct combination;
for instance, in a dining-room nastur-
tiums may be used for the table and the
water lilies for sideboard or mantel.

The fine range of unusual colors in
the nasturtium is another important
element in its usefulness. Yellow is a
much wanted color, and difficult to find
in anything like a tempting variety.

The rich yellows, oranges and salm-
ons, and the trailing habit of the nas-

turtiums, are best developed by the use
of bark or rock backgrounds and other
rustic settings. Twig and bark boxes
are available in dark green, red, brown
and gray, such as are found in cedar,
cork or birch bark, as well as in the
dark brown bark. Bases covered with
the twig or bark and equipped with
pans can be made to fit mantel shelves,
window sills, sideboards, plate rails and
all such places.

A Bower of Trailing Vines.

A dining-room can be made into a
bower of trailing vines in this way.
Panels of bark can be hung from the
picture molding at convenient intervals
around a room. Little pockets which
will hold Kift vases or other small
receptacles can be made in these panels.
The pockets will" hold several long
branches containing flowers and foliage
too, with buds. These nasturtium and
bark panels, alternating with the plain
panels of the wall and extending nearly
to the floor, will make a study for a
fresco artist as well as a floral decora-
tion. The long vines will exist on the
small allowance of water -which is
tucked away in the pockets of the
panels — which could not be said of
stems of woodier structure. Touches
of ferns of the smaller variety might
be added with good effect. This scheme
of decoration is well adapted to a
store or banquet hall, too. G. B.

PULLING IN THE PUBLIC.

How a Denver Retailer Did It.

A few months ago the people of Den-
ver were aroused by a novel advertis-
ing scheme, announced by the Park
Floral Co. Indeed, aroused is hardly
a strong enough word to use, especially
as regards the other florists of Denver.
Not only was the undertaking of the
Park Floral Co. unique in character,
but it came at a season when most

' How the Patk Floral Co., Denver, Exhibited the Auto to be Raffled Among its Customers.

Ilorists ;ire resiguing themselves to a
])erio(l of light business. The average
riorist who undertakes anything at all
in the way of expensive advertising
puts his effort into autumn work, when
he will have a long season before him
in which to reap the benefits. But the
Park Floral Co. chose the last weeks of
the spring season.

The plan was to offer chances on an
automobile, one chance with each 50-
cent purchase. Raffles are as old, al-
most, as business itself, but not often
has the raffle been for such an ex-
pensive article as an automobile, and
of course this raffle was advertised ex-
tensively. The machine was mounted
on a big 4-horBe truck and carted
through the streets of Denver, deco-
rated and emblazoned with signs. Cir-
culars were distributed, and it is safe
to say everyone in Denver was made
to know an auto was to be had for
nothing.

So much popular attention was at-
tracted that it seemed the trade would
be interested in knowing just what
process of reasoning led to the adoption
of so spectacular a method of adver-
tising a flower store, and just what
were the results.

To Emphasize Change in Location.

"When business begins to slacken,"
said J. A. Valentine, president of the
Park Floral Co., "when all your neigh-
bors are beginning to complain, then
is the time to begin boosting; first, be-
cause without some stimulant your busi-
ness is likely to drop back; also, and
second, because others are likely to be
retrenching and your own efforts at-
tract more attention by comparison.

* * "We recently moved into a new store
and advertised the change in various
ways until we felt our old customers
were pretty well informed concerning
it. But it seemed necessary to actually

get them into the i>lace before they
would be sure to remember it.

' * We were also anxious to get a lot
of new customers, and while you can
depend upon a policy of good stock
and good service to hold the customers
you already have, it is necessary to do
something striking to attract the atten-
tion of strangers and draw them into
your store.

"The desire" to get something for
nothing, the hope of being the lucky
one out of thousands, is a part of
human nature, and so a drawing of
some sort struck me as likely to at-
tract new customers.

' ' There is no fad that has such a
hold upon the people of America as
automobiling, and to put up an auto-
mobile as a prize offered opportunities
for spectacular advertising that seemed
bound to bring results.

"I chose the car I did because it
was a handsome machine at a low
price, and because I had already driven
one thousands of miles in the moun-
tains and had proved its worth.

The Besults.

"We sent out thousands of circulars
to all parts of the city, announcing a
ticket on the automobile with each
50-cent purchase. We used the theater
programs extfensively, but the most
effective advertising was when we
loaded the machine on an immense
truck and hauled it through the busy
streets, and through the theater dis-
trict at night. When so displayed the
machine itself was generously decorated
with flowers or filled with blooming
plants, but the photograph was taken
before the decorating was done.

"We had the drawing at the close
of the performance at a popular the-
ater, and the tickets were drawn out
by Maude Fealy, the leading lady. Nine
tickets were drawn out for cash prizes

ranging from .$5 to .$4o, in addition to
the automobile.

' * Our florist competitors had thou-
sands of tickets in the box, but they
were not a lucky lot, as not one of
them drew a prize.

"We think that the cost of the
scheme was about fifty per cent of our
increased business. Whether it paid
can. only be told later, when. we are able
to tell how many new customers be-
come permanent buyers.

' ' One material advantage gained is
a large addition to our mailing list, as
each ticket was signed by the purchaser
and his address given. I am a firm
believer in personal appeals, and we
use the mails extensively for that pur-
pose.

"After the issuing of tickets had
stopped, several buyers came in, but
went away without buying when told
that tickets were not being issued.
Prior to that, one woman came in and
bought 50 cents' worth and told us to
send them to some hospital, frankly
saying that it was the ticket she
wanted and not the flowers. ' '

There will be a lot of new ideas in
that, for more than one retailer.

FORCED GLADIOLUS BULBS.

I have a bed of gladioli forced under
glass. After cutting them, can I take
up the bulbs and heel them in? Will
they mature without injury to the
bulbs? ■ B. B. C.

You can lift the bulbs carefully, pre-
serving a little soil with each, and heel
them in outdoors to ripen. The bulbs
made will be of good size, but, whether
they are of the large or small flowered
types, they do not force satisfac-
torily the following season; neither
do they flower any better out-
doors. I have tried varieties o( 6.

uanus grown in flats and allowed them
to ripen off without disturbance. They
produced finer bulbs by far than the
original imported, ones, but did not
flower at all well, and I came to the
conclusion that it did not pay to carry
over any forced gladiolus bulbs, far

better results being had from new bulbs
which had been grown outdoors. Were
bulbs bench-grown and allowed to ripen
where they flowered, they might do
well, but it would never pay to give up
bench space to them, since it could be
much more profitably utilized. C. W.

Summer Lilies.

With the arrival of the two hot sum-
mer months flower demand slackens ap-
preciably and the call for longiflorum
lilies is never robust. People seem to
tire of them and want a change. The
speciosums, therefore, make a welcome
addition to our none too lengthy list
of summer flowers.

The earliest of the fall potted speci-
osums are now coming into flower and
the flowers of both the white and pink
varieties are splendid in all classes of
design work. Keep the plants cool and
well watered; also see that the pollen
masses are removed daily, so thUt they
cannot discolor the flowers. Speciosums
grown under glass are finer in every
way than the outdoor ones and do not
become spotted by heavy rains and
spells of damp, muggy weather. Their
great foe is green aphis, but there is
really no occasion for this troubling
them if the hose is used freely among
them and a fumigation given once a
week. It is easy moving the speciosums
to a cold cellar to retard them for
special occasions, while we need not
state that well flowered pots, neatly
staked, are salable.

The outdoor lilies, such as speciosum,
auratum, Henryi and tigrinum, will be
benefited by a generous mulch of old,
decayed manure. In dry weather, if
water can be given them occasionally,
their quality will be vastly improved.
Henryi grows tall and some staking of
this and auratum should be done to
hold the stems erect and keep the flow-
ers clean.

Gardenias.

The gardenia plants benched early
in June are now making a good growth
and are taking hold of the soil nicely.
To avoid the yellows, do not soak the
whole bench space when watering;
rather give it to the plants. They will
soon have their roots all through the
soil, when water can be gradually in-
creased. If the soil is sufficiently por-
ous it will dry out readily and there
will be little danger of pale foliage.
Use the spray nozzle on the plants at
least once a day and close them up in
the afternoon with an abundance of
moisture. A night temperature of 65
to 70 degrees is about right. Of course
this will be exceeded on warm nights.
Air freely during the day, and when
the nights are hot a crack can also be
left on. Pinch back the runaway
shoots for some time yet and do not
forge^ to scratch over the surface of
the benches occasionally. We can have
them in flower the vear around under '

glass by growing a winter and summer
crop.

Lorraine Begonias.

The earlier propagated plants of
Lorraine begonia are now making an
excellent growth and will need some
attention, as they should not be al-
lowed to become potbound. Keep flow-
ers removed as they appear and pinch
back all the strong shoots. In potting
always use a light compost; one com-
posed of equal parts of flaky leaf -mold
and loam (which has been laid up since
last year and mixed with cow manure),
with sand, will make a good potting
medium. Do not make the mistake of
shading the plants heavily. They do
not w.ant it and are hurt, rather than
benefited by it. They like to be grown
pretty warm and in this respect differ
from the tuberous section, which enjoy
cooler and airier conditions. Keep on
propagating. These late cuttings will
make nice plants in 4-inch pots or pans
and there was a marked shortage of
them at Thanksgiving and Christmas
last year.

Gesneras.

Gesneras are little seen nowadays.
They can be had in bloom either in
sum;Hef or fall, being specially useful

in August and September. They are
easily raised from seed, which if. sown
in February will give nice flowering
plants the same year. From a bat,ch of
seedlings just as fine varieties may be
selected as the higher priced named
kinds. They are better grown in pots
singly, unless the colors are known, in
which case several can be used in 8-
inch pans to good effect. Gesneras like
a warm house, but should not have a
stove temperature, which is too warm
and moist and draws them too much.
They make one of the most charming
of plants for centerpieces. They grow
well in a light, fairly rich soil which
contains a good proportion of sand to
give it porosity.

Trimming Hedges.

The end of June and first week in
July is a suitable time to trim hedges
of California and other privets, also of
Berberis Thunbergii and any other de-
ciduous hedge plants which are grown
in formal hedges. Two or three clip-
pings a year for the California privet
makes the hedges more dense, and
where hedges have become thin and
naked a good heading back should be
given. It is now, however, late for
this work, which is best done when
growth starts in spring. The Califor-
nia privet is not altogether reliable as
to hardiness, and where temperatures
of 5 to 25 degrees below zero are re-
corded it will usually be cut down to
the ground. For this reason Ligustrum
Ibota, the Japanese privet, L. Regelia-
num, L. Amurense, the Amoor river
privet, and L. vulgare, the English
privet, should be chosen in preference,
as they are much hardier and all make
excellent hedges. The Berberis Thun-
bergii loses much of its beauty when
closely sheared. To see it at its best
it should be used for a natural hedge.

Such evergreens as Norway spruce,
Thuyas occidentalis and Sibirica (ar-
bor-vitses), retinosporas and hemlocks
can all be clipped now, so that they
will make a little new growth to take
away their extreme stiffness before
fall.

GEBANIUMS IN BAISED BED.

We should like to know whether
geranium stock plants could be put into
a bed in the house at this time of the
year with good results. Can geraniums
be grown properly on a raised bed on
the north side of a sweet pea house,
with a solid wood wall to the north?
Can you inform us what kind of
house is best? F. B.

Geraniums can be planted in the bed
in question now and will give excellent
results. You will find that cuttings
taken from plants from under glass are
firmer and show a much smaller per-
centage of loss from damping off than
do cuttings from outdoor plants. 3^,^ey
will requite an abundance of fresh £^i^.
If they stand near the glass there is a
possibility of red spider attacking

them. The judicious use of the hose,
however, will prevent this.

Geraniums will, of course, grow on
tlie north side of a sweet pea house, but
it is iiardly the location to be recom-
mended for them. They must be near
the glass if you want hard, stocky cut-
tings. An even-span house is the best,
not only for geraniums, but for all other
bedding plants. In making up the com-
post for geraniums, do not use the same
proportion of manure as you would for
mums, sweet peas or roses, or they will
grow to'o rank. A 4-inch pot of fine
bone to each bushel of compost helps to
keep the growth short-jointed, and an
occasional light top-dressing of this or
some reliable chemical, such as Clay's
fertilizer, will keep them in good grow-
ing condition, Four to five inches of
soil is ample for them. C. W.

THE ROSE AMERICAN PILLAR.

The June number of Country Life in
America had an article describing the
leading varieties of climbing roses, such
as Crimson Eambler, Lady Gay, Doro-
thy Perkins, Tausendschon and Hiawa-
tha, but nothing was said about Amer
ican Pillar.

This beautiful climbing rose is a
seedling of Dr. Van Fleet's. Its exact
parentage is unknown. One of the
jiarents is believed to be the Michigan
rose; there are evidences that American
Pillar has some of the sturdy blood of
Prairie Queen. While American Pillar
was sent out some years ago, it is little
known in this country; in England it is
better known and is. highly prized as
one of the best climbing roses.

It is a wonderfully vigorous grower,
plants in their second year throwing
up heavy canes to a height of four to
six feet — canes that are densely clothed
with luxuriant, glossy green foliage,
seven to nine leaflets to each leaf. This
foliage seems absolutely free from
mildew, a virtue that will recommend
American Pillar to many who have
found Crimson Rambler wanting in
this respect.

The fnost striking feature of Amer-
ican Pillar is its wonderful flowers.
Many of the trusses on the young plants
that have been outside little more than
a year measure from six to nine inches
in diameter and bear nearly 100 indi-
vidual flowers. The flowers resemble
the wild rose in size and appearance
and are an unending source of beauty.
They open early in June in the latitude
of Philadelphia, when the petals, five
or six in number, may be described as
carmine, shading to white at the base.
The effect in the earlier stages is of
carmine and gold, the number and size
of the stamens giving a yellow hue.
Later, as the flowers develop, the car-
mine changes to a beautiful shade of
Killarney pink; as the stamens dry, the
white center lends softness; during the
third and fourth week the color becomes
that of a soft peach blossom, only a
thought less beautiful than before.

The effect of a row of American
Pillar roses, covered with immense
trusses of pink flowers, is one long to
be remembered. The rich, dark greefn
foliage is a perfect background for the
glowing pink blossoms.

The constitution, coloring, vigor and
freedom from disease of American Pil-
lar lead to the belief that this rose,
when well known, will be considered
the best in its class. Nay, more than

that; when Crimson Rambler first ap-
peared it was heralded as ushering in
a new floral era; American Pillar is as
far superior to Crimson Rambler as the
latter variety is to the older climbing
roses.

This description is the fruit of a
happy hour spent with Antoine Wintzer
at West Grove, Pa. Phil.

ROSEBUDS NOT OPENING.

What causes hardy rosebuds, such as
Cochets, to blight? They turn black
and fail to open. The foliage is ap-
parently in good condition, but the
petals turn black when the bud is ready
to open and the blighted petals seem to
glue the bud shut and it dries up in this
shape. F. M. R.

The Cochets and some other tea roses
will sometimes fail to open their buds.
This is particularly true when we get a
spell of dark, moist weather, or, on the

contrary, when the ground is dry. With
a fair amount of sunshine and the
necessary moisture in the ground, the
buds should open satisfactorily. All the
tea roses are benefited by a summer
mulch outdoors of old, decayed manure,
and to have them really satisfactory
they should get an abundant water sup-
ply. They prefer the soil to be light,
rather than heavy. C. W.

BLACK SPOT ON ROSES.

I have some Killarney and Richmond
roses that are affected with black spot.
The plants are in pots, waiting to be
planted in benches as soon as my green-
house is finished. I am dusting them
with air-slaked lime. What else shall
I do to them to rid them of this trou-
ble? J. D.

The black spot has undoubtedly been
caused by excessive syringing, espe-
cially on days when there was little
sun and the foliage was damp at night-
fall. The big rose specialists guard
against the attacks of mildew and
black spot in summer by using a little
steam heat when weather conditions de-
mand it. Dusting air-slaked lime on
the plants, holding off syringing and
picking off affected foliage are the
best, in fact the only remedies. Do not
allow the plants to be too crowded and
when you syringe be sure that the
foliage will get dry before sundown.
On damp, sunless days keep all mois-
ture from the plants and do not keep
the houses shut up tightly, as this only
aggravates the evil. With clear, warm
weather the plants should, when
planted, soon outgrow the black spot.

C. W.

PEONIES NOT FLOWERINa.

I have about 1,500 large peony clumps
and at least twenty per cent of these
do not bloom at all. They are perfectly
healthy looking, with an abundance of
good foliage. They have been treated
the same as the others and have been
grown in good soil, which has been
well fertilized, etc. Other people have
the same trouble. I also have two
small clumps in my garden, where the
soil is light. They had not bloomed
for fifteen to twenty years. This year
both clumps bloomed sparingly. How
do you account for it? C. S. R.

Your trouble is not by any means
an uncommon or exceptional one. The
most likely cause for the plants not
blooming is that they in all probability
have not been divided and replanted
for a good many years. Some peonies

may grow and bloom for twenty-five
years undisturbed, especially if tho
flowers are not cut to any extent and
the plants are well fed, but as a gen-
eral rule they deteriorate after being
planted ten years and finally do not
flower at all. There is no reason, how-
ever, why your clumps should not flower
satisfactorily if you lift, divide and
replant them, giving them good soil
which has been liberally enriched.

Another reason why peonies flower
poorly is that many growers cut away
too much foliage with the flowers. Of
course, the craze for long stems is re-
sponsible for this. I have seen growers
cut close to the ground, removing every
flower a plant carried. The chances are
ten to one that such plants will either
not flower at all, or only sparsely, the
following season. Last fall, winter and
spring were abnormally dry in the east

14

and this seriously affected the flowering
of peonies, growers with light land not
getting a quarter of a crop. One o'f the
foregoing causes, or a combination of
them, may be responsible for your plants
flowering poorly. C. W.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Business lust week was quite good
and both growers and retailers are
much pleased with .June sales, which
have been the most satisfactory in
years. The numerous school gradua-
tions, Harvard class days, and wed-
dings cleaned up the market nicely.
The present week opens with more of
!i lull, but the absence of excessive heat
is a strong factor in favor of sales,
for the cool weather has caused
(juality to average good, and there has
not been the waste that often occurs
during hot weather. We are now Hear-
ing the end of June and the tempera-
ture has not been over 87 degrees
during the month, so we are more for-
tunate than many other large markets.

Roses have been selling exceptionally
well; in fact, it has been the best June
for the rose men in years. Beauties,
(,'arnots. Kaiserins and Killarneys all
sell well. Few hybrids from outdoors
have api»eared and these are not of
good quality. Sweet peas are not yet
overabundant. The indoor crop is now
over and outdoor crops are away below
the average. It is seldom that good
peas have made 75 cents and $1 per
hundred at the end of June, as this
year. Carnations are getting small and
the season for them is nearing the end.
Asters have appeared from several
growers, the variety being Queen of
the Market.

Peonies are over. Some iiiitrgui rites
still arrive, but are not of the best
quality. Small gladioli are over, but
there are some fine lots of America,
Augusta and other large-flowered sorts
which sell fairly well. Valley has been
selling well, y>ut the demand has de-
creased. Cattleyas are now scarce and
selling better. Lilies are still mainly
longiflorums and the demand is light.
There have been good sales of Aspara-
gus Sprengeri and plumosus.

Rose and Strawberry Exhibition.

The adverse climatic conditions seri-
ously affected this annual exhibition
and neither in quantity nor quality
was it up to the average. Miss S. B.
Fay, through M. H. Walsh, was the
largest and most successful rose exhib-
itor. Some of these blooms were fine,
the most noteworthy being Frau Karl
Druschki, Margaret Dickson, Mrs. Shar-
man Crawford, Mavourueen, Ulrich
Brunner. Duke of Edinburgh, Mme.
Gabriel Luizet, Baron de Bonstettin,
Clio and Baroness Rothschild. W. J.
Clemson, .T. D. Christensen gardener,
was the second largest exhibitor. The
display of hybrid teas from Miss S. B.
Fay was noteworthy and attracted
much attention.

R. & J. Farquhar & Co. had their
usual extensive display of hardy herba-
ceous plants in great variety. They
also had a fine table of peonies. T, C.
Thurlow & Sons had a choice collection
of peonies and other herbaceous flow-
ers. E. J. Shaylor had a fine collec-
tion of late peonies.

William Whitman, M. Sullivan gar-
dener, had a large general display, in-

cluding some beautiful delphiniums.
Mrs. E. M. Gill was on hand, as usual,
with an excellent assortment of roses
and many other seasonable flowers.
W. N. Craig had a large vase of the
pale blue Trachelium ca'ruleum. J. T.
Butterworth had several seedling or-
chids, Cattleya Mendellii alba x Leelia
Digbyana,' C. Harrisonia? alba x C.
Gaskelliana alba and Lselia purpurata
X Laelia Digbyana, awarded honorable
mention. Henry Stewart, gardener to
Miss Cornelia Warren, had several well
flowered plants of Oncidium flexuo-
sum.

Strawberries were not so fine as
usual, owing to the long drought.
(Jolden Gate showed up the best. Next
to this came Marshall. The new Black
Beauty, same color as Marshall, cap-
tured the leading prize of the day,
beating Marshall and Golden Gate.

Various Notes.

Robert Montgomery, of Natick, is one
of the few growers of hardy hybrid
perpetual roses. He has had some nice
Brunners of late. He has had a splen-
did June cut of Killarney, White Kil-
larney and Richmond, which are always
cleared out early.

Perry Green, of Quincy, among his
other specialties has a fine cut of
bachelor's buttons, sweet sultan and
sweet peas.

John W. Foote was one of the first
in the market with asters. He has cut
a large quantity of Bouvardia Hum-
boldtii during June, it being in brisk
demand for brides ' bouquets. No other
grower in this section has been able
to handle this beautiful bouvardia as
well as Mr. Foote.

The annual sweet pea show of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society
will be held at Horticultural hall July
15 and 16.

Frank E. Putnam, of North Tewks-
bury, in addition to his high grade car-
nations has a grand lot of America
and Augusta gladioli.

H. W. Vose, of Hyde Park, through
E. J. Rogetin, is disposing of fine ship-
ments of salpiglossis, gypsophila and
asters.

The Lord & Burnham Co. has work
well advanced on a new iron-frame
greenhouse 25x100, with propagating
house, service room, etc., for F. L.
Ames, North Easton.

Samuel Ralby, of J. W^. Howard's
staff in Somerville, was married June
20. His many friends wish him good
luck.

David Welch sailed for a European
trip June 27, on the steamer Fran-
conia. A number of friends wished
him bon voyage. Mr. Welch is just
convalescing from a long illness and
the foreign trip will build him up in
fine shape for fall trade.

M. H. Hambro, salesman for S. J.
Reuter & Son, is handling some fine
White Killarney. Special grades of
these have made as high as $16 per
hundred this month. Mr. Hambro says
he never had a more satisfactory June
business.

William A. Hastings, local state vice-
president for the S. A. F., is planning
to round up the biggest delegation
which ever left Boston for any con-
vention. Mr. Hastings has not yet
lost avoirdupois in his efforts, but will
do considerable hustling within the
next six weeks. His always genial
smile is hard to resist.

Robert E. Lassman, the veteran

Watertown florist, has had a good sea-
son with bedding plants, violets and
his other specialties. At present he is
busy marketing tomatoes of the Comet
variety.

M. B.- Dallachie, of East Woburn, is
one of the local growers who is early
in the market with a fine crop of
asters.

The gar^ii committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society visited
the estate of Walter Lockwood, Or-
leans, Mass., June 21, to see his peony
garden, ^and found a magnificent col-
lection of ^00 varieties, mostly in flow-
er. The rambler roses in many varie-
ties were also in full beauty. Carmine
Pilhir being grand.

A. P. Dewar, of the R. & J, Fw-
quhar & Co. force, with his wife and
family, sailed on the steamer Zeelahd
.Tune 20 for an extended European trip,
in the course of which he will visit
many prominent seed and bulb growers.

A fierce hail storm visited the Bos-
ton district on the evening of June
20. Glass was broken only to a minor
extent, but such plants as lettuces,
beets and cabbages were simply cut to
pieces in some places. Hardy roses
suffered severely. M. H. Walsh had
wheelbarrow loads of fine blooms
ruined at Woods Hole.

William Penn, one of the well known
Bromfield street brothers, and Miss
Sophie Rosenbush were married June
27. The bride carried one of Penn's
finest shower bouquets, which have
been in tremendous demand the last
few weeks.

Mrs. Aaron Ward rose as grown by
W. H. Elliott is still of fine quality
and the color is even better than in
winter.

The Boston Flower Exchange base-
ball nine played its first game of the
season June 24, their opponents being
the Brookline landscape gardeners, at
the grounds of the latter.

P. J. Donahoe, the popular head
salesman for the Waban Conserva-
tories for many years, is now mana-
ger for the Boston Rose Co., Pember-
ton square. His firm is receiving some
fine shipments of roses and carnations
and doing a steadily growing trade.

Mann Bros, have had a fine cut of
outdoor iris of late. Thej' still have
lilies in quantity and have had a suc-
cessful bulb season on the whole. Their
trade in bedding plants also beat all
records.

T. F. Galvin had a charming window
of aquatics at his Tremont street store
last week, which looked cool and rest-
ful. He has had a busy June with
wedding and other decorations.

W. N. Craig.

Oalena, 111. — B. F. Vandervate, from
whose home $170 was recently stolen,
lias been fortunate enough to secure the
return of all but $7 of the money.

Lynn, Mass. — Reuben S. Goodwin, a
florist who resides on Grove street, re-
cently made a forcible plea before the
municipal council for the life of a large
elm which stands opposite his house,
and which, he says, has sheltered him
since his eyes "opened on this world."
Some of his neighbors had petitioned
the council to chop the tree down, as
being decayed and dangerous to prop-
erty, but Mr. Goodwin maintained that
the tree was in good condition and
merely needed to be trimmed and
treated. The council took the matter
under advisement.

A. Miller.

THE NEW CHICAGO FIEM.

AVithin the last week it has developetl
that since June 1 A. Miller has been
ii partner in the firm of A. Henderson
& Co., Chicago. Like the original
members, Alex. Henderson and Guy Ka-
burn, he is a graduate of that school
of commercial floriculture which has
educated so many successful young
business men in this trade, Vaughan 's
iSeed Store.

The firm of A, Henderson & Co.
started January 1, 1911, doing busi-
ness in temporary quarters at 162 North
Wabash avenue. Mr. Henderson says
it is the object of the firm to locate
a suitable place where they ca9 carry
on a retail seed business, as soon as
obtainable, in connection witli the
wholesale trade. At present they are
doing only a wholesale business with
florists.

Alex. Henderson, the senior membey
of the firm, is a native of Scotland,
born in Aberdeen, and has spent orer
twenty years in the seed busine'ss.
After five years in the business in his
native town and a year in England,
he came to America and spent a brief
period at Hamilton, Ont., going thence
to New York, where he remained for
two years with Peter Henderson & Co.
and F. E. McAllister Co., leaving there
to take the position at Chicago in which
he remained for fourteen years, rising
to be a department manager and buyer.
-Mr. Kaburn has been connected with
the trade for twelve years, his first po-
^<ition being with Dingee & Conard Co.,
West Grove, Pa. After serving that
• ompany five years he went to the
Kiverton greenhouses of Henry A.
Hreer, Philadelphia. Kemoving to the
west, he was at first employed in the
greenhouses, but was later sent on the
road. He has traveled for the last
five years.

Mr. Miller, the new member of the
•irm, started his floricultural work,
after graduating from the public
schools of New Orleans, as apprentice
ill the Mannard greenhouses. Later he
took a four years' course in an eastern
•tgricultural school, specializing in
yreenhouse work. Then he took a po-
^>ition in one of the largest cemeteries

in Brooklyn, as an assistant to the
superintendent, but greenhouse work
proved more congenial, and for three
years he worked in various commercial
plants through the country, then spend-
ing two years on the road for the
Chicago seed store and later working
in the same capacity for Skidelsky &
Irwin Co., of Philadelphia.

Messrs. Kaburn and Miller will do
the traveling for the firm, while Mr.
Henderson will act as buyer and man-
ager of the office.

SOUTH BEND, IND.

The Market.

In this city of big manufactories the
June business has been excellent in
some respects and poor in others. Go-
ing back as far as Memorial day, there
was a falling off from last year, partly
because last year was better than usual
and partly because of the extreme heat
that came in the end of May this sea-
son. There have been more weddings
in June this year than in any previous
.Tune, and the bedding out has been
heavier in June than it was in other
years. Last season those who put out
their bedding stock early lo'it a good
part of it in the late frost and this
year planting was delayed until after
Memorial day. There have been more
bedding plants sold than ever before,
but there is still some stock on hand,
though the demand locilly has prac-
tically ceased. In the cut flower line
the weddings have made the i)rincipal
demand, the weather having been too
hot for transient trade.

Little is expected after July 1 until
September, but everyone here has con-
fidence that the business next season
will beat all records. The demand is
growing noticeably year by year.

Various Notes.

The Beyer Floral Co. reports more
wedding work this .Tune than in any
previous year. This concern makes a
specialt}- of birds and goldfish and finds
this a profitable side-line. Unfortu-
nately, neither birds nor fish are in
good supply or in good demand in sum-
mer, when the flower business itself is

dullest, but a side line in the fish de-
partment is minnows for fishermen's
bait, and these sell steadily through
.luly, August and September. The
Beyers carry a large stock of florists '
supplies.

At Willis R. Kiuyon's it is said that
though business now is quiet, it has
been the best season his establishment
ever has known. There has been good
trade at the store and much bedding
out has been done. The greenhouses
are now being put in shape for next
season,

A. & C. Ivinyon are now proprietors
of the South Bend Floral Co. Formerh"
the three Kinyon brothers were in
business together. Willis Kinyon is
running that business today. After
selling out to him, the other two broth-
ers took over the greenhouses and store
of the South Bend Floral Co. The
business was then in a rather run-down
condition, but it is said they have this
spring done twice as much business as
last spring and they are well pleased
with the progress made. The green-
houses are in good shape.

W. D. Eettie has had a big spring
business in bedding stock iu his green-
houses on North Lafaj'ette street.

Irving Gingrich is now giving vocal
lessons in South Bend and neighboring
towns.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

'liic business done last week among
the retailers was good, iu spite of the
fact that graduating exercises and wed-
dings are about at an end. There was
a good deal of shipping trade to nearby
towns for wedding decorations and fu-
neral work, but not much of anything
is expected until fall. Some of the em-
ployees of the retail stores have already
started on their vacations. The whole-
sale houses have been cleaning up daily
on their roses of good grade. Carna-
tions and peas went at fairly good
prices. Gladioli are in big demand and
bring as high as $8 per hundred. The
daily supply is not nearly enough for
the demand. All outdoor stock is com-
ing in poorly, as the long dry spell has

burned it out. The receut rains, bow-
ever, should do a great deal of good.
Asters bring from $3 to $5 per hundred
and lilies sell well at $10 per hundred.
There are plenty of greens in the mar-
ket now.

Various Notes.

The committee, consisting of E. W.
Guy, W. C. Smith, Charles Schoenle and
J. J. Beneke, of the Florists' Club,
which has the arrangements in hand
for the florists' picnic, has arranged to
hold the annual event Thursday, July
20, at Bamona park, and Max Peletier 's
famous band has been engaged for the
occasion. The Florists' Club pays all
the expenses, and all florists, their fam-
ilies and friends are welcome. All the
wholesale houses, as well as many of
the retail stores, have agreed to close
on that day, to give their employees
H day's outing.

The Eetail Florists' Association will
hold its monthly meeting Monday, July
3, at 8 p. m,, in the Knights of Colum-
bus hall. "There is a raft of business
to be transacted," says President San-
ders, and a full attendance is requested.
The newly elected secretary and treas-
urer will be installed.

Mrs. M. M. Ayers said she would like
to be present at the Florists' Club ban-
quet, June 28, but, owing to the fact
that she is the only lady member of the
flub, she declined the invitation. David
Geddis represented the firm at the ban-
quet.

The committee which will handle the
games at the Florists' Club's picnic
this year has been selected from the
four wholesale houses and consists of
Frank Windier, Albert Gums, George
Schriefer, Fred Alves, Otto Bruening
and P. Patton.

Mr. and Mrs. A. Y. Ellison are en-
joying their vacation at the northern
lakes.

Mrs. William Ellison, of the Ellison
Floral Co., will leave this week for her
summer home in northern Wisconsin.

Pierre Schneider, of the Oakland Flo-
ral Co., at Kirkwood, says that their
greenhouses are all in shape again and
they are sending to C. A. Kuehn a nice,
clean lot of carnations.

E. W. Guy and Henr^' Emunds, of
Belleville, 111., were here last week, buy-
ing supplies. They say that business
for the first two weeks in June was
splendid with all the Belleville florists.

Nurserymen of this vicinit.y have suf-
fered a great deal from the long dry
spell and a great deal of the young
stock has been killed. C. C. Sanders
says the loss to the local nurserymen
will run into several thousands of dol-
lars. Relief came Saturday, but not
enough. A good soaker is badly
needed.

Theo. Klockenkemper lias made ap-
plication for the position of superin-
tendent of public parks. He was su-
perintendent twelve years ago and
made • an excellent record during his
four years in office, and his appoint-
ment would be a popular one among
the local florists.

W. J. Pilcher, Frank Fillmore and
•T. J. Beneke have again been appointed
as the reception committee for the
florists' picnic. This committee has
served in the same capa<'ity for the
last five years.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred H. Weber cele-
brated their tenth wedding anniversary
.Tune 20, at their home. Mr. Weber
is state vice-president of the S. A. F.
for eastern Missouri.

Louis Magen, a retired florist, aged
60, living at Maplewood, was killed last
week by a train on the Missouri Pacific
railroad. Further particulars will be
found in this week's obituary column.

Woerner Bros., of Clayton, Mo., are
sending some extra good Killarney
roses to this market. They expect to
increase their glass for roses this sum-
mer.

H. Heselmeyer, of the St. Louis Seed
Co., is traveling in Europe in the in-
terests of the firm. He was last heard
from in Holland. Martin Moran, of
this firm, says the recent rain has start-
ed the business going again.

That wholesale quartet, composed
of Messrs. Smith, Ossick, Windier and
Patton, is surely a good one. Your
scribe was invited- to one of their re-
hearsals last week. J. J. B.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Thanks to the reduction in ship-
ments of cut flowers, an encouraging
improvement is noticeable in prices and
a steadiness that indicates the summer
average has been reached. The lowest
prices of the season have probably been
seen. Even midsummer rates seldom
touch the bottom May and June have
done this year. This week should be
a busy one for the retailers, for com-
mencements are numerous. The June
weddings continue to give encourage-
ment in numbers. The big ships still
carry multitudes to Europe and every
steamer is freighted with floral bas-
kets, and boxes and bouquets innu-
merable.

American Beauties when good sell
readily at 25 cents, and there are not
enough of them. Some notable ban-
quets last week used all the available
supply. Of the other roses, Maryland
is in best demand and of fine quality.
So are Kaiserin and Killarney, when
selected. Most of the Killarney now
arriving are short-stemmed, however.
Only the top grade deserves considera-
tion. Many thousands of carnations
sold last week at .$10 per thousand, and
from that down to 25 cents per hun-
dred for the leftovers. Even the best
of the newer varieties brought no more
than 2 cents. The extreme heat put
a large proportion of the arrivals to
sleep. Lilies and valley are firmer.
The market now seems able to digest
the orchid shipments and, while prices
have not advanced, there is no surplus.
Long-stemmed sweet peas are in con-
stant demand. There is an abundance
of iris. The peony has fulfilled its mis-
sion and departed. Gladioli are not
j'et abundant. Of outdoor flowers,
both old and new, there is a sufficiency
and the Crimson Rambler is head and
shoulders above all else in quantity
and beauty.

Various Notes.

The New York Florists' Club held
its annual outing June 28, too late for
an account of it to appear in this issue.

.July () the Greek-American Florists '
Society will have its annual celebra-
tion, also at Wetzel's, going by boat,
and furnishing an extensive program
of dinners, games and dancing. Last
year the attendance was over 500 and
this year, George Cotsonas says, they
will double the number.

The sweet pea convention this week
at Philadelphia will draw a good at-

tendance from New York and vicinity.
M. C. Ebel, of Madison, will have his
insecticide products on exhibition and
give a demonstration, which he' will re-
peat at the Baltimore convention.

The Forster Mansfleld Co. has been
filling some large contracts at New-
port.

Interest in the coming convention of
the S. A. F. is growing daily. There
will be a big delegation from New
York. A special train will start at
10:30 a. m. Monday, August 14, and
those who can join the New York crowd
are requested to send their names to
Chairman Frank H. Traendly, of the
transportation committee, 131 West
Twenty-eighth street.

July 1 and 2 the Horticultural So-
ciety of New York will have an ex-
hibition of outdoor roses, irises, sweet
peas, herbaceous plants and vegetables;
Richard Richter, manager. Nearly
$100 in prizes is offered. The show
will be held in the museum of the
New York Botanical Garden, Bronx
park. Dr. Britton will lecture there,
at 4 p. m. Saturday. At 5 p. m. Geo.
V. Nash will escort those in attend-
ance over the beautiful grounds of
New York 's finest park.

Patrick O'Mara left June 28 for an
outing in Europe, and doubtless an ex-
amination of the Blarney stone on his
travels. The New York Florists' Club
sped him on his way with a box of
perfectos.

Myer, the retailer at Madison ave-
nue and Fifty-eighth street, is spend-
ing his week ends on his farm near
Middletown, N. Y. He has purchased
four fine cottages at Averne, L, I.

Among the notable dinners last week
was the one given by the Canadian
Club of New York, in honor of the
coronation, at which President Taft
was the honored guest. The floral
decorations were by M. A. Bowe.

McKinney, at Forty-second street and
Fifth avenue, had the contract for a
large Brooklyn wedding last week and
some Delmonico dinners that were
greatly to his credit. Arthur Merritt
was the artist in the Brooklyn deco-
ration.

"Temporarily closed," is the notice
on the door of the Buds seed store, on
Barclay street.

Jos. J. Levy was celebrating last
week the second arrival of the stork
at his home, with a daughter.

Miss Horn and Miss Hess have de-
cided not to close their store at 767
Lexington avenue during July and Au-
gust, as has been their custom. These
young ladies have an excellent busi-
ness established.

G. Lionel, formerly with Brower, has
opened a store at Hastings on the Hud-
son, with New York headquarters with
Kessler Bros.

George Saltford will enjoy his sum-
mer outing at his old Rhinebeck home.
Clarence Saltford 's week ends include
some fine catches of the finny tribe at
Atlantic Highlands.

The employees of the wholesale sec-
tion have arranged for a fishing excur-
sion. The managers of the affair are
the foremen in P. .L Smith's store.
All the tickets are already sold.

Siebrecht & Siebrecht had a fine dis-
]>lay of gigas and other popular or-
chids last week.

J. K. Allen has fully recovered from
the grip and is on deck every morning
again, as usual.

The Market.

Business has fallen off considerably
and so also has the stock of flowers,
the exception being sweet peas, which
appear to be rather plentiful and are
.selling at from 25 to 40 cents per hun-
dred. Carnations are beginning to
shorten up and those that arrive are
exceptionally poor in most cases.

The copious rains of the last few
days, when as much as three inches
fell in twenty-four hours, have ham-
mered the life out of outside stock.
The temperature has been in the neigh-
borhood of 90 degrees every day, and
it is not hard to guess what this is
doing to stock in greenhouses. Many
growers are throwing out the carna-
tions and the roses are so small that
it hardly pays to cut them. There is a
little good stock coming in, but even
that does not sell well, and if it were
not for the school commencements of
last week there would be practically
nothing doing.

Various Notes.

Mrs. James Glass sailed for Ireland
Saturday, June 24, with her three chil-
dren. Mrs. Glass will be gone about
ten weeks.

Charles Seybold and wife are in Ger-
many on a pleasure trip.

Mrs. G. A. Lotze, of Glenburnie, Md.,
has been seriously ill with appendicitis,
but is improving and will be able to
be taken to her home in a few days.

The Market.

Last Aveek was, indeed, a busy time
for all. The supply in all lines was
large, but with tlie numerous com-
mencement exercises, plus the wedding
and funeral orders, stock was cleaned up
in good shape. This being the last
W'eek iu June, many of the florists'
best friends will leave for their sum-
mer homes, thus putting the finishing
touches on the season ]91()-11.

Various Notes.

Last W'eek we experienced the hottest
"weather thus far this season. .Tune 23
the thermometer registered 98 degrees
in the shade, helping to give those who
attended the singers' convention a
warm reception. Among the many
thousands of visitors the following flo-

These Are the Little Liners That Do theBosiness

rists called on their friends: Wm. F.
Kasting, Buffalo; A. Ringier, with W.
W. Barnard Co., Chicago; Fred
Rentschler, Madison, Wis., and Bernard
Koebele, Detroit.

Thursday, July 6, is Florists' Club
meeting. The Quiet House, the former
meeting place of the club, is now a
thing of the past and new quarters
have not vet been chosen.

The Mueller & Schroeder Co. still is
cutting carnations of really good qual-
ity; no red spider on them either.

Officers for 19)1: President, George Asmus, Chi-

Md.; secretary, H. B. Dorner, Urbana, 111 ; treas-
urer, W. F. Kastlng, Buffalo, N. Y.

Annual convention, Baltimore, Md., Augiist IS to

Besults bring advertising.
The Beview brings results.

When you telegraph an order add the
code word "Transmit," which means
' * Mentioned in your advertisement in the
Florists' Review."

Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Beview $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.

With no chrysanthemum show at Chi-
cago this year, it will lie between Mil-
waukee, St. Louis and Cincinnati which
shall have the honor of holding the big-
gest autumn exhibition of 1911.

Th£ minimum charge for a shipment
by treifihl dhs botn 25 cents. This the
railroacis north of the Ohio purposed ad-
vaneiug July 1 to 35 cents, but the Inter-
state Commerce Commission has delayed
three months.

The premium list for the Illinois State
Fair, Springfield, September 29 to Octo-
ber 7, has been issued. It provides liber-
ally for floriculture, exhibits to he staged
October 2 to 5. Since there is to be no
big fall show at Chicago this year, the
State Fair show should be much larger
than ever before.

The annual volume of the American
Carnation Society has been received, con-
taining the oflBcial report of the twen-
tieth annual meeting and exhibition at
Boston, March 28 to 30, 1911. In addi-
tion to the usual list of members and list
of registrations for the year, there is a
list of the varieties registered with the
Perpetual Flowering Carnation Society
of England.

How many florists make any real effort
to reach the flower-buying public? Not
one in a dozen. The average florist is
content with a good window as his only
bid for business — that and the reputa-
tion resulting from good work. When
florists go out after business the way the
grocers, the hatter.s and the candy-store
men, not to mention the department
stores, do, the use of flowers will be
multiplied many fold. For a starter, it is
not necessary to use such expensive
methods, or such spectacular ones, as
those of Penn, of Boston, described in
the last issue of The Review, or of the
Park Floral Co., Den-'er, reported in the
jHTWient issue.

If your city is not already represented
in the news columns of The Review, how
would you like to contribute news letters?
There are openings in several good cities.

One of the British firms mannfactur-
iiig greenhouse material advertises:
' ' American glasshouses at English
prices; we are glad to be able to an-
nounce that by a. new system of wire
trussed rafters we are able to build
glasshouses in widths up to forty-eight
feet, either singly or in blocks, without
additional purlin supports or other ob-
structions. ' '

IN A HURRY.

If you have stock you don't need
for your local trade, why not turn it
into cash? This is the way it works
when any good, seasonable stock is of-
fered in the classified columns of The
Review:

Your paper certainly gives good results; we
sold out in a hurry and liad to return money tt>
a lot of buyei"s whose orders came late. — D. Rut-
tic & Son, Latonla, Ky., June 12, 1011.

DUTY ON IMMORTELLES.

Following the decision reported in
The Review for May 4, the U. S. Board
of General Appraisers has modified the
action of the collector of customs at
Boston, who levied a duty of sixty per
cent on an importation of immortelles
consigned to the American Express Co.
A special report of the appraiser states:
"The merchandise subject of protest
consists of immortelles or everlasting
flowers, some of which are made up in
the form of wreaths and which have
been chemically treated to enhance
their durability." For the board, Gen-
eral Appraiser McClelland finds "from
the evidence that the item described on
the invoice as '3125 yellow natural'
consists of immortelles in their natural
condition. This item is dutiable, as
claimed, at the rate of twenty-five per
cent ad valorem, under paragraph 263,.
tariff act of 1909. To this extent the
protest is sustained, the decision of the
collector being modified accordingly^
Abstract 25349 (T. D. 31524)."

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The market has settled into the sum-
mer routine earlier than in any recent
year. Because of weather conditions
the peonies, the sweet peas and the
candidum lilies are finished and the
market is left with a more limited
assortment of stock than has been the
case at any time heretofore this year.
The last of the peonies were sold early
this week. The indoor sweet peas are
practically over and the outdoor crop
does not have the quality to make it an
important factor. The candidum lilies
were cut almost at one time; they did
not last nearly so long this season as
usual. Gladioli still ai:e confined to the
indoor crop and only a few asters have
appeared. For the present the market
is dependent on roses, carnations, lilie»
and a few other of the indoor crops.

The supply of Beauties is not nearly
so large as it has been and the average
quality is greatly improved. It is
stated that the average price doubled
last week, the reason being that clean-
up sales at sacrifice rates are no longer
necessary.

First-class roses sold excellently all
last week, and still are doing so. The-

both of us.

KILLARNEY

White and Pink— the finest stocic

These are cut from houses handled specially for a summer crop— the
longest-stemmed roses on this market. There are so many s||Drt roses now
offered, and so few long-stemmed roses, that you don't want to lose sight
of the fact that the longest stems carry the largest flowers. We can supply
in quantity.

'Mention iTie Review when you write

re:isiii is not so much the strength of
the deniiUid as the lightness of the sup-
ply of long-stemmed flowers. There
are plenty of short roses, but not many
long ones. Killarney holds its lead and
it appears that the market will be
largely dependent upon White Killarney
for white roses this summer; there are
few Kaiserin and hardly any Bride.
Most of the White Killarney are short
and there are not many but what show
the characteristic summer color. Such
Kaiserin as come in command an extra
price. Maryland and Jardine are in
good form. Only a few Field are seen.
Eichmond is in slight request, for red
roses are not much wanted in summer.

There continue to be large supplies
of carnations, although no such glut as
existed a few weeks ago. The shipping
demand for these is not strong and sum-
mer prices are the rule, for summer
quality is all that can be expected.

Easter lilies continue abundant. A
few first-class indoor gladioli are seen.
Orchids have become one of the short
items. Valley is abundant.

The new crop of ferns is here in
large quantities and prices have
fallen still another notch.

Last week business w^as entirely sat-
isfactory by comparison with what has
gone before. The city trade is not
strong, though there have been a fair
number of weddings to use up the spe-
cial stock. Shipping demand is good.
The number of orders received is
large, but the average size of the or-
ders is small. It .appears that the
country buyers have all the poor stock
they can dispose of; they send to Chi-
cago only for the better grades of
stock, material for filling orders that
call for better flowers than the home
production.

Beginning .July 1, the wholesale
houses will close at 5 p. m.

Big Spring Show.

Secretary J. H. Burdett states that
the executive committee of the Horti-
cultural Society of Chicago has voted
not to hold the usual fall flower show
in the Coliseum building this year, but
to hold a big exhibition next March
in its stead. A dahlia ami. aster show
will be held at the Art "fhstitute in

Charles Klehm, of Klehm's Nur-
series, says they never sold out of peo-
nies as quickly as this year. They ap-
pear thoroughly well pleased with the
peony season.

Bassett & Washburn have replanted
half the space devoted to carnations.
Mr. Washburn says they would grow
all their stock indoors all summer were
it feasible to make all the space ready
for early planting.

Vaughan & Sperry say the last half
of June has been so good that it has
made up for the falling off in the vol-
ume of sales in the first half of the
month, when the market was so badly
glutted.

Frank Pasternick and his bride of

honeymoon in Wisconsin.

A. L. Bandall has gone to Michigan

Beauties are good for the season and

The Rising Eastern Market.

"Business has reached a summer
level. ' ' That is the way a leading
wholesaler described the situation this
last week in June, a terse expression
that clearly conveys the idea of the
•■onditions governing the cut flower mar-
ket. There is a fair amount of busi-
ness out of town, chiefly for the last
of the important weddings, and a little
doing in town, but not much. The
feature of the market is the improve-
ment in Easter lilies, now an important
factor. They are good, also plentiful.
Valley is disposed of in quantity. The
quality is excellent. Roses are plenti-
ful. The best Beauties come from down
east. The local stock is of lower grade,
in most cases. Kaiserins are improving
and there are more of them. Mary-
lands are fair and there are some nice
Brides. Cattleyas are scarce. There
are lots of nice sweet peas, but not
many gilt-edged blossoms. Carnations
are not nearly so plentiful; some few
still are nice. Cornflower, coreopsis
and candytuft are abundant. Fancy
water lilies are in fair supply. Double
white petunias are selling well. Greens
are not selling.

MELODY

In selling this rose early in the season we did not recommend it as
a summer bloomer, our feeling being that it was an unusually good
winter forcer. Now after a month or more of hot weather we find it a
splendid summer rose, holding its color and form in fine shape. As a
cut flower it has been and is selling extra well and at present we are
often unable to take care of all orders that come in to us. Unquestion-
ably we recommend it as the very finest yellow rose and one of the
best money makers on the market. For a grower retailing his own cut
flowers it hasn't an equal in the rose line today.

Own root plants, 2X-inch pots, $30.00 per 100; $250.00 per 1000.

DOUBLE PINK KILLARNCY. It has no equal commercially. Own root, 2%-inch, $20.00
per 100; $150.00 per 1000. Grafted, 2X-inch, $30.00 per 100; $250.00 per 1000.

PRINCE DE BULGARIE. Entirely different from any rose grown. Own root, 2X-inch, $15.00
per 100; $120.00 per 1000. Grafted, 2%-inch, $20.00 per 100; $180.00 per 1000.

they deserve to be. I have before me
a letter today from one of the leading
horticulturists in the east on this sub-
ject. He says that he would gladly
make an exhibit of a certain flower at
the monthly meeting of the Pennsyl-
vania Horticultural Society, but that he
feels that this is time and energy
thrown away, as the society makes no
effort to bring people to its meetings.
He further sOggests that much may be
done if the society will change its pol-

icy in this matter and take its rightful
place as a public leader in affairs horti-
cultural.

With this object in view these lines
are written, in the hope that some mem-
ber of the Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society will recognize their truth and
push forward the reform that can do so
much for floriculture and for the so-
ciety.

A discerning salesman, one of the

most active of the corps who regularly

Griffin Bros, are good business men as
well as good florists.

that form of our business that appeals
so strongly to outsiders because of its
two profits, a little profit on growing
and a little profit on selling. Practi-
cally it takes a pretty clever man to do
this nowadays, as each, growing and
selling, has become a branch Tsy itself.
There evidently are pretty clever men
in the square of glass and outside plant-
ing where the firm does business.

James Griffin, one of the founders,
supplies the knowledge and steadiness,
while his son, Bruce Griffin, furnishes
the modern ideas and enthusiasm illus-

now proving one of the main features
in the business. The largest crop of

Harrisonia', is coming into bloom now;
it is grown for variety's sake and is
quite acceptable, because its season
comes when the finer cattleyas are out
of bloom. The other greenhouses are
devoted to carnations, bedding plants,
palms, asparagus, asters, chrysanthe-
mums and poinsettias.

Mr. Griffin has a place at Cornwall,
where he resides in summer, and is
planning to add to his range there. An
Overland machine carries him back and
forth in a half hour's time.

Various Notes.

Godfrey Aschmann reports an excel-
lent demand for bedding plants in .Tune.
May, Mr. Aschmann says, was too hot
and dry to encourage outdoor decora-
tions of porch and garden, but June
has been most encouraging, the demand
lasting throughout the whole month.

n. F. Littlefield, of Worcester, Mass.,
was in town recently.

The Florex Gardens h'ave decided not
to discard Beauties, as announced last
month. Beauties will be planted, it is
now planned, in one or two of the
medium sized houses.

and 130 acres in general nursery stock.
I am a banker, a mighty busy man,
and cannot give this enterprise the at-
tention it deserves. A reliable nursery
firm or a competent man who possesses
good business ability will Ite sold a half
interest at a fair price and on reason-
able terms. It is desirable— but not
absolutely necessary— that such a man
should have a knowitdge of greenhouse
management, and a marrjed man is
preferable. This locality is unexcelled
for growing many kinds of nursery
stock, and I believe it is an opportun-
ity for a nursery firm or a capable
man to estaltiish a splendid business.

partner I am looking for, and ran

Six Pages of Retailers' Cards

This department for the cards 'of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the
facilities for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid
development of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and
so helpful 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.

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?

The Market.

There has been no pronounced falling
off of business during June. Stock is
good and the quantity about right.
There is no great scarcity and no great
surplus. Carnations, although good,
sell rather slowly in the city, but they
ship well, and for that reason are in
demand jn the smaller towns.

Outdoor sweet peas have made their
appearance and are fairly good. Shasta
daisies, gaillardia, coreopsis and Lilium
candidum seem to be favorites in the
way of outdoor stock. In the almost
total absence of other greens, aspara-
gus from the garden finds ready sale.
iVrn leaves are wanted badly, but it
is next to impossible to get them here
in good condition during this extremely
warm weather, and few are to be had.

The Cut Rate Flower Store, on

Mrs. Fred Hall and her daughter,

Tuesday on account of the death of a
relative.

It has leaked out that a half dozen
or more of our prominent florists have
been having social poker parties; en-
joyable little affairs, so it is said. First
they have a nice, quiet game, with just
enough up to make it interesting, and
after that the host gives them a spread,
consisting of most of the things men
like to eat and drink. We are not at
liberty to name the members of this
card club, but if you are on the outside,
are a "good fellow" and would like to
join, just approach any one of the
prominent florists. Perhaps he will give
you the necessary information.

At the close of the dinner, Mr. Valen-
tine, in behalf of the Coterie, presented
to Mr. and Mrs. Cooper for their daugh-
ter, Edith Virginia Cooper, a silver
bowl and plate, engraved "The Co-
terie's First Baby." After some gen-

Mr. Hugo Neff were admitted as mem-

W. C. Walter is no longer connected
with the Denver Wholesale Florists'

idly, and he feels it is all he can take
care of. His stock in the wholesale
company was bought bv Fred Hall and
C. F. Maler.

This is the time of year when the
growers' contracts with the retailers
expire, and there is much guessing as
to whether some of these contracts will
be renewed. If they are not renewed,
then comes the question as to what dis-
position the growers will make of their
stock. There are only three solutions

Seed Trade News.

- AMBBICAN SEED THADB A8S0CIATIUN.

Pres.. Iiconai'd H. VauKhun, Chicsfrn; First Vloe-
Pres., M. H. I)ury<^a. New York City; Set-'y and
Treas.. C. E. Kendol, Cleveland, O.

The crop inspectors are afield in force.

Sweet corn and the vine seed crops
will be the next thing the anxious will
want reports on.

Brans have gone into the ground in
good shape and as a general thing good
stands are reported.

The northern Michigan farmers are
reported to .be still busy planting late
potatoes. The recent high prices of that
commodity evidently make them feel that
it will pay to take chances.

Turnip seed and beans are in good de-
mand at present. It is said that ' ' living
prices ' ' are- beiijg paid for these articles
also, which is a help to those living at a
distance from Marblehead, Mass.

The. onion crops in the marsh districts
of Ohio and Indiana are reported to be
suffering; it is insect pests now which
seem to be cleaning up what plants the
wind storms earlier in the season left
standing.

J. E. HooPES & Co., on Muscatine
Island, out in Iowa, have had a hard
time to get their pepper fields started
this season. It turned so hot the plants
scalded and dropped. They replanted
three times before they could- get a good
stand. Drought has been a severe handi-
cap to all crops in their region.

The Michigan radish crops are re-
j)orted to be doing well. The acreage is
short of last year, and the weather at the
start was not as favorable as it might
liave been, but the soil in the sections
where the best growers operate is well
adapted to this crop and it responds
quickly when conditions become season-
able.

The Treasury Department has issued
its annual instructions to collectors of
customs to forward two-ounce samples of
all importations of 100 pounds or more
of grass, clover and forage plant seeds
to the Department of Agriculture for ex-
amination. This order is to hold good
throughout the fiscal year ending June
30, 1912.

It seems to be too early to get any-
thing definite as to the pea crops. Re-
ports are varied, the different sections
showing different conditions and all hold-
ing off for the inevitable something that
reaches sooner or later to cut the crop.
The chances seem to be even that things
will be no worse than last year, and it is
hoped that they will prove to be some-
what tetter.

The Chicago onion set crop has been
hurt considerably by the maggot during
the last week. Quite a few acres have
l)een plowed up and there are more to
follow if conditions do not change. The
weeds have been a source of annoyance,
jilso, and the outlook is not as encourag-
ing as it was several weeks ago. The
acreage to start with was much less than
it was last year and, although the stand
at the beginning was better, the present
condition of the crop is much below nor-
mal. . A two-thirds crop is about all that
the growers count on now, and to get this
inueh the crop will need to keep right on
doing its best.

Walter Mott has joined the road force
of Wm. Elliott & Sons, New York.

The English seed growers have had a
dry season to last maU, sweet peas having
suffered as much as anything.

The Leonard Seed Co. has enlarged
its Chicago plant 15,000 square feet by
taking in number 226 West Kinzie street.

Sweet peas in California and garden
peas in Michigan and other sections are
about all in the same class — no full crops
anywhere.

It is reported that L. B. Eansom, of
Columbus, O., is organizing a seed com-
pany and has decided to establish his
headquarters at Champaign, 111.

F. W. KosEK, until recently with the
Farmers ' Seed & Nursery Co., Faribault,
Minn., has become manager for the min-
nesota Seed Co., New Ulm, Minn.

If France has another poor crop of
radish this year, prices are likely to ad-
vance sharply. Reports from California
indicate no unusually heavy supplies
fromi that section, and known acreage in
Michigan is lighter than last year.

Leofuii|i H. Vaughan.

(President AmerlMn Seed Tnule Association.)

The optimistic Chicagoan notes that
the central west continues to advance
steadily as a seed growing section. He
thinks that in diie time the mellow prai-
ries of the states tributary to the "great
central market'' will be the seed garden
of the world.

The insecticide act of 1910 makes it
the duty of the Secretary of Agriculture
to exclude from this country importations
of insecticides or fungicides that do not
come up to the requirements of the law,
and the Secretary of the Treasury has
just issued order's making the regulations
for gathering samples, etc., under the
pure food law apply also to importations
of insecticides and fungicides.

The United States Seed Co., of Fre-
doma.- N. Y., and H?rn Antonio, Tex., has
established a branch also at Memphis,
Tenn., with offices at the corner of Front
street and (iayoso avenue. The com-
pany'sTT^eneral manager, F, M. Eoesch,
of Fredonia, has recently been in Mem-
phis, taking temporary charge of affairs.
Charles Jacknian, also of Fredonia, has
been'lippointed manager of the Menyihis
branch.

W. Atlee Burpee, president of the
National Sweet Pea Society of America,
will not be able to preside at this week 's
convention at Philadelphia. Aftw -the
date had been set as originally, June 23
and 24, he arranged a trip to Europe and
sailed from New York June 28, accom-
panied by Mrs. Burpee and their sons.

No longer satisfied with selling both
tiie seed trade and the florists in the
United States, some of the Holland bulb
houses are this season going after the
orders from the general public. The Gar-
den Magazine for July contains the ad-
vertisements of four such bulb exporters
and one Overveen firm offers "bulbs
direct by parcels post, from the Holland
grower, orders of ^ 1- and above carriage
free."

Position of Disclaimer.

In The Review for July 28, 1910,

there appeared the following item:

An attorney whose spcplalty Is commercial law
states that no part of what may be printed on h
letter-bead Is a part of a contract unleea it b<>
between the date lino and the Bignature, except
a reference appears between those parts to prac-
tically bring the outside words within the l>ody
of the letter itself. This would apply to the non-
warranty clau84> as printed on most scedsmen'x
stHti'ji'ery.

This was the subject of considerable
discussion among the trade and many
letters reached The Review, from seeds-
men who wanted further information.
These were advised that the opinion
was based, among other things, on a
decision of the Supreme Court of Illi-
nois in which it was held that "printed
matter in a letter-head forms no part
of the letter written on the sheet, and
will not qualify an absolute contract
which Jesuits from an acceptance of an
offer b/such letter." See 153 HI., 102.
As a result some of the trade printed
stationery on which the disclaimer ap-
pears just below where the typewriter
putii'tbe words "Dear Sirs."

Ptesident Page, in his annual ad
dress, referred to the importance of
this point and later in the week there
was a general discussion of it, with the
result that a committee consisting of
Curtis Nye Smith, attorney for the as-
sociation; Kirby B. White, of D. M.
Ferry & Co., and S. F. Leonard, of
Leonard Seed Co., was appointed to
consider and report on the need for
the general adoption of the new posi-
tion for the disclaimer.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

"-■K

Jl'xe 20, 1911.

the better of it at that time, but he got
his answer when the Seed Trade Asso-
ciation unanimously adopted Mr.
White's resolution, as follows:

Whereat, It has been charged In the present
Ciinsress of the national legislature that the seed
tradv ot the United .States was under suspiciou
of having committed fraud In Importing certain
seetls under false pretenses, and that American
dealers have systematically committed perjury to
t-KC!ipe the payment of lawful excises; and.

Whereas, These charges, if true, are worthy
nf inii|tiHilti<'d ooudemnation, luit If unfounded are
a libel on tlie trade in general; now, therefore,

Be it resolved, In justice to ourselves and In
the name of simjjle decency, that we urge the
legislative and executive branches of the govern-
ment to spare no pains to ascertain the facts In
the case, and to prosecute all offenders wherever
found; and further,

Besolved, That to the end of securing punish-
nient for tiie guilty and vindication for the inno-
cent, wu pledge ourselves individually and as an
association to cordially support all leasonable
efforts to secure rigid Justice; and

Resolved, That copies of these resolutions Ite
r<'si)ectfully submitted to the Secretary of the
Treasury aud to the Hon. James H. Mann.

Mr. White also introduced, by request,
a resolution which was unanimously
adopted, urging upon Congress the need
for amendment of the corporation in-
come tax law, whereby it shall be made
permissible for corporations to make re-
turns as of the close of their individual
fiscal years, to the end that obedience
to the law may be rendered less burden-
some and accurate compliance with its
provisions possible. Several members
urged all present to have similar action
taken by such other mercantile bodies
as they may be members of.

Members and Meeting Place.

The 162 active members and two hon-
orary members were reinforced by the
election of the following to active mem-
bership:

Buck, E. A., & Co., Worcester, Mass.
(iermain Seed & Plant Co., Los Angeles, Cal.
Woodruff, P. n., & Son, Milford, Conn.
McCullough, n. T., Santa Ynez, Cal.
Schulte, L. B., Houston. Tex.
Cobb, W. F., Franklin, .Mass.

The selection of the next meeting
place is in the hands of the executive
committee, but informal discussion
showed the general opinion to be that
the meeting shoul4 be held in the mid-
dle west, probably at some lake resort.

The State Correspondents.

The state correspondents were pro-
vided for by action of the association
at Atlantic City in 1910. They have
been so valuable an assistance in han-
dling the work of the association that
President Page recommended their re-
appointment and pointed out ways in
which their usefulness may be extended
in other directions than the handling
of seed legislation, the subject covered
in the reports presented this year and
referre'd to the executive committee.

Obituary.

The ranks of the association having
-suffered depletion by death to a greater
extent than in any previous year,
President Page appointed a committee
on obituary. At the final session
Charles N. Page, chairman, presented a
report containing eulogies as follows:
On the death of Charles P. Braslan,
San Jose, Cal., prepared by C. C. Massie,
Minneapolis; on W. A. Denison, Ellij-

HOLLAND BULB CROPS.

The lifting of the bulbs in Holland
has begun as early as usual, in spite of
the vicissitudes through which the crops
passed in the early part of the season.
Tulips have undoubtedly suffered con-
siderably, first by the severely cold
weather after growth was well along,
and later by blight in the leaves. It
is thought the quality of the crop will
be satisfactory, but that the quantity
will be less than usual. The ripening
process has progressed rapidly since the
flowering season, because of constant
warm, dry weather. Young stocks of
hyacinths have been lifted, at least in
part, and the bulbs for export will fol-
low shortly. Growers aver that the
flowering qualities will be excellent, in
spite of some deficiency in the size of
the bulbs. The quantity of the crop
is satisfactory. Holland exporters are
counting on a considerable increase in
the demand for hyacinths because of a
reduction in the duty paid for admission
to America to one-fifth of what has been
paid the last two seasons.

ROCHESTER.

The Market.

"Remarkable" is the word applica-
ble to the weather last week, for it
was really remarkable for June. Though
the days were warm, there were cool
breezes and cool nights. This ideal
weather has made stock good and busi-
ness brisk.

Roses are good in all grades. Killar-
ney and White Killarney are retailing
for $1.50 per dozen; Richmonds, $2.50
per dozen; Mrs. Aaron Ward, $2 per
dozen. Brides and Bridesmaids are
poor and retail for $1 per dozen. Kai-
serin Augusta has not made its appear-
ance in our market as yet, which we
much regret, for it is one of the best
summer roses. Special grades of Kil-
larney, Maryland and Richmond are
retailing for $2.50 per dozen. American
Beauties bring $4 to $6 per dozen.
Lilies of the valley are selling for 75
cents per dozen. Sweet peas are scarce
and bring about $1.25 per hundred.
Baby gladioli are coming in more plen-
tifully now and bring 50 cents per
dozen. Carnations are fair and still
run quite large, retailing at 50 cents
per dozen.

Hardy ferns are quite scarce just
now. Rochester needs a man who would
deal in hardy ferns of good quality and
supply the market the year around.
There is a good opening for someone
in this line. Bedding plants are pretty
well sold out and few remain that are
•.at all good. Bedding plants have not
been "quite as good as in other years.

and winter trade in Buffalo.

S. A. Anderson, of Buffalo, shipped

Mr. Anderson 's begonias are famous.

T. Ogston is enjoying himself at

in both places.

Harmon Clarke, formerly with W. J.

the automobile business here. We wish
him success.

Dick Salter is back from the moun-
tains, lamenting the fact that it rained
all the time he was away and spoiled
his pleasure.

George Hart 's business seems to be
increasing. He is looking for another
bookkeeper, we understand.

The caterpillar of the tussock moth
is infesting the apple and plum or-
chards of Qakfield, N. Y., and vicinity
to an unusual extent. Orchards which
are frequented by song birds, and those
which have been sprayed thoroughly
for several successive years, seem to be
suffering the least.

J. B. Keller's Sons filled several or-
ders for the commencement exercises
at Vassar, Smith and Wellesley colleges.

H. E. Wilson did two good wedding
decorations last week at the Smith-
Thomas and Crouse-Sable weddings.
Horace J. Head assisted in the work.

When Uncle Sam wants
horses for war — real use — he
doesn't select them from
beauty shows nor according
to looks. He buys up such
as street-car horses — all he
can get — and such animals as
have made good by steady,
honest work — the animal that
averages well, day after day,
for they have the power of
endurance that will surpass
anything in the world.

Cold Storage Horseshoe
Brand Giganteum have the
same superior power of en-
durance. They have proved
good — have stood the storage
strain — and will average
higher than any brand known
in flowering results. We still
have a limited quantity of
fully matured Giganteum
of last December delivery,
which are excellent Cold
Storage goods. They cost a
little more, perhaps, than
some brands, but they are
worth a lot more, we think.
Try them — order now.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

June 29, 1911.

PACIFIC COAST.

Aberdeen, Wash.— M. C. Louis, for-
merly of Chicago, is now proprietor of
the Aberdeen Greenhouses, in this town,
and recently opened a store on East
Heron street.

Tacoma, Wash.— At a recent meeting
of the Tacoma Florists' Association an
able paper on dahlia culture was read
by E. K. Roberts, formerly superinten-
dent of parks in this city.

Eugene, Ore.- R. Rae, who has been
conducting a flower shop on East Ninth
street, has purchased the store of Rug-
gles Bros., on the same street, and will
consolidate the business of the two
jjlaces.

Alameda, Cal.— Simon Winkler and
William F. Resimius have severed their
connection with the firm of Gresens &
Werner. Henry Gresens and Carl Wer-
ner will remain in business together and
will retain the Park street store, while
Messrs. Winkler and Resimius will con-
duct the business at 1419 Bay street.

. Spokane, Wash.— The Inland Nursery
& Floral Co. has completed its new
range of greenho^ises at Washington
street and Madison avenue, at a cost
of $30,000. The new structures include
a large concrete office building. The
business of this company was founded
eight years ago. by H. C. and E. L.
Rice and J. H. Mumm.

• Los Angeles, Cal.— It is said that
Kanier Duinker, from Boskoop, Hol-
land, is establishing a business here in
the growing of the azalea-rhododendron.
He is reported to have brought with
him, from the University of Boskoop, a
special variety of the flower, which is
particularly well adapted for the Cali-
fornia soil and climate and may be
grown here to great commercial advan-
tage.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

Business is down to summer level;
there is practically nothing doing ex-
cept an occasional funeral or wedding
to break the monotony. With the pass-
ing of the fair graduates, there is noth-
ing special to look forward to, except
vacations, which are the next in line
on the calendar.

Carnations, roses and sweet peas are
in abundance, and the first Jiamed can
be bought as low as $1 per hundred;
of course the prices on the better
grades are firmer. Delphiniums, gail-
lardias, coreopsis and campanulas serve
their i)urpose for decorative work.

Peonies are on their last legs; only
a few more days of sunshine and they
will be gone. Lilium auratum is being
displayed in various windows.

Various Notes.

Activity in greenhouse construction
is noticeable on all sides, and only the
best types and materials are consid-
ered. The rapid growth of the city
makes it expedient for the growers to
build farther out, where more spaceman
be secured at a nominal cost.

Through the efforts of J-. B. Pilking-
ton, the American- Association of Nur-
serymen will be invited to Portland for
1913, in conjunction with the Pacific

Cycas Circinalfs Stems.

and, as a consequence, flowers of all
kinds are in splendid shape. It is rare
in the middle of June to find roses and
carnations up to form and color, but
they are certainly that way this year.
Sweet peas are a glut in the markets
and still they are the most popular
flower at present. Quite a lot of Lilium
longiflorum are being brought into town,
but they do not move well. The same
caa be said of valley and glsTdioli. In
fact, it is hard to tell just what the
dear public wants at this time. Ap-
parently everyone with any money has
gone tt) the mountains or the seashore,
and those who are left are not patroniz-
ing the florists to any great extent.

Various Notes.

M. H. Dunn, head gardener for the
town of Alameda, has refused to accept
a dismissal from his position at the
hands of the park commissioners of
that town and will carry his case to
the courts.

The Eealty Syndicate Nursery has
abandoned its grounds at Piedmont and
will subdivide the property for build-
ing purposes.

Frank Clarke, of Clarke Bros., Oak-

land, is absent on a trip to Portland,
Ore.

The Trumbull Seed Co. has opened a
store at 259 Market street, in the prem-
ises formerly occupied by the May
Seed Co.

Joseph Stock is in Santa Barbara on
a few weeks' vacation. G.

Vegetable Forcing.

FABSLEY FOS WINTER.

Please give directions for starting
parsley, to be wintered in coldframes,
so that it may be cut through the win-
ter. F. E. S.

Parsley may be sowed now and will
make good plants to take in in the fall.
Lift them and transplant them to cold-
frames or greenhouses after frost
comes, taking care to get all the roots
and as much soil as possible with each
plant, and then trim the leaves nearly
all off, to aid them in starting.

H. G.

PLANTS FOR EMPTY BENCHES.

What can I put in my empty benches
now to make me something until I
can put them in lettuce in the fall?
What cuttings should be started dur-
ing the latter part of June to Sep-
tember 1? L. M. S.

It is a little late now to start any
crops from seed to net you anything.
If you had had tomato plants of good

size and could have planted them not
later than the first part of June, they
would have brought in good returns;
so also with cucumbers, but if planted
now they would be .just coming well into
bearing when you would want to start
your lettuces. The same ai)plies to such
crops as melons and eggplants. There
are no flowering plants which you
could grow satisfactorily through the
summer months, unless it might be
some of the early varieties of chrys-
anthemums, like Cilory of Pacific,
CJolden Glow, Polly Kose, etc. These
could still be planted and the crop
cleared before the middle of October.
Propagation is always at a low ebb
during the hot summer months and un-
less you had plants of the varieties to
be propagated from, it would not pay
you to do anything in this line. Out-
side of ornamental-leaved plants, cut-
tings of deciduous flowering shrubs and
some few other plants, little is done in
this line until cooler weather. Another
season cannot you plan somewhat dif
ferently? Empty benches do not pay
and it would be much better to run let-
tuces, say, until the middle or end of
April and then follow with strong to-
mato plants or cucumbers, whichever
you would have best market for. These
would produce i)rofitably, especially
the tomatoes, until you had to pre-
pare for the fall lettuce crop. Many
growers grow violets, planting in Octo-
ber, pull these out about the end of
March or a little later, and follow with
tomatoes. These two crops prove good
paying ones and lettuce followed by
cucumbers and tomatoes, which could
run until September 1, would prove
equally profitable. C. W. .

This week's obituary column con-
tains a report of the death of Preston
W. Butler, a nurseryman and florist of
Penfield, N, Y.

T. C. Thuelow's Sons, of the Cherry
Hill Nursery, West Newbury, Mass., had
a fine exhibit, consisting largely of pe-
onies, at the flower and strawberry show
in the Fair building at Amesbury, Mass..
June 22.

The roses at the EUwanger & Barry
nursery, Rochester, made a grand showing
last week and attracted many hundreds
of visitors. William C. Barry did the
honors and saw to it that every inquirer
found the blue roses. The Rochester pa-
pers gave the showing much publicity.

The nursery interests are unalterably
opposed to any bill that, becoming law,
will give one man power to shut off the
European supply of raw material. One
man power always is exercised in one of
two ways: either so laxly as to amount to
non-enforcement or so arbitrarily as to
do injustice.

A FORWARD step in the conservation of
Missouri's resources has been taken by
the University of Missouri in the appoint-
ment of Prof. J. A. Ferguson, of State
College, Pennsylvania, to the position of
Professor of Forfestry in the College of
. Agriculture. Professor Ferguson is a
graduate of Yale Forestry School, and
has for nearly two years been head of the
Department of Forestry at State Col-
lege, Pennsylvania.

Pitkin, Irving Eouse, J. H. Dayton, J.
M. Pitkin, Abnef Hoopes and Thos. B.
Meeban, presented a history of the so-
called Simmons bill in a report 5,000
words in length and called attention to
various statements which have been
made that the committee, in opposing
the bill as it has done, has not correct-
ly voiced the sentiment of the nursery-
men of the country. The report was
thoroughly discussed and, as reported
in The Review for June 22, a resolution
was adopted putting the association on
record as opposed to the bill. The full
text of the resolution, which was
adopted by unanimous vote, was as
follows :

Resolved, That the report of the chair-
man of the legislative committee be ac-
cepted, and that this association heartily
and thoroughly approves of the course of
Its legislative committee In connection with
federal legislation during the past three
years, and further

Resolved, That this association confers
on Us legislative committee full power
and authority to act for it during the
coming year in all matters of federal legis-
lation, with the suggestion that this as-
sociation favors federal inspection of for-
eign nursery stock on safe, sane, and
practical lines, and that said committee
shall use its strongest efforts to defeat
any legislation that will place such abso-
lute, arbitrary, and discretionary powers
In the hands of the Secretary of Agri-
culture and his bureau chiefs as has been
proposed by the bills under discussion
during the past three years.

EXTENDING THE BETAIL MABKET.

[A paper by F. H. Stannard, of Ottawa,
Kan., read at the convention of the Ameri-
can Association of Nurserymen in St. Louis,
June 14 to 16. 1911.]

Maeaulay says: "Men are never so
likely to settle a question rightly, as
when they discuss it freely." So, in
presenting this subject for your con-

sideration, I shall attempt to show the
points which I consider essential in ex-
tending the retail market, with the
view of starting a discussion among the
retail nurserymen present.

Our business, in a way, is peculiar.
We grow a large amount of merchandise
every year, which, in a sense, has no
fixed market value. If you pick up
your morning paper, you can see at once
the market price of corn, wheat, cot-
ton, pork or beef, but where do you
find a market price for nursery stock?
The market for nursery stock is largely
created. How? By the traveling sales-
man and by advertising.

The only way we know of making a
retail market for nursery stock is to
go out and see the planter in person,
and explain to him the advantages and
profits to be derived from planting
trees. This means that we must keep
a corps of salesmen. They should be
busy, intelligent salesmen, and they
need just as much care and just as con-
stant attention as the most tender plant
in the nursery.

The Salesmen and Tlieir Mission.

Get out of the habit of thinking you
must employ old men. Pick up new
men. Teach them your ways. They
will be more valuable to you, more
loyal to your business. The old men
frequently have too much experience.

Salesmen sometimes need one thing
and sometimes another, but they always
need encouragement, and, to do their
best work, they must have confidence in
you and in the goods they sell. A
man going out to sell a commodity, or
selling it in his oflSce, miist secure the
confidence of his patrons, and to do this

ho must have confidence in his goods,
his business and himself.

The inexperienced nurseryman may
feel that the way to increase his sales,
or establish himself in a territory, is to
offer his goods at low prices, furnishing
a large amount of goods for little money
and letting the public know that he is
the fellow who sells cheap, but my ob-
servation has shown that such experi-
ments have been failures. Trees, well
grown and well graded, are not too high.
On the contrary, they are sold cheaper
now than they should be, and the only
way, in my judgment, to establish a re-
tail trade on the right basis is to fur-
nish superior stock and get prices that
will justify hiring a good class of sales-
men, who will make and take care of
a market.

Beckless and Bandom Prices.

Not long ago a salesman told of hav-
ing a customer for some nursery stock.

June 29, 1911.

which he agreed to furnish for $200,
but another nurseryman had agreed to
furnish the same numbers and varieties
for $150. He tried to get his price, and,
rather than lose the order, saw him the
next day and offered to split the differ-
ence and take $175. His customer then
told him that a third nurseryman had
agreed to fill the bill for $100, and the
salesman retired from the field, with
no hope of closing the order. A week
later he met this prospective customer,
who stated that he had received a let-
ter and catalogue from still another
•nursery, quoting this stock for $67.50,
and the customer was disgusted and said
he thought the nursery business a swin-
dle. He did not buy any stock that
spring. These wide differences in prices
by nurserymen in the same territory,
and under practically the same condi-
tions, lost a good customer. This is one
of many similar instances, and they
would not occur if the nurserymen sup-
plied a good grade of goods, and knew
' what it really cost, one year with an-
other, to produce the trees, deliver them
to customers, make the collections and
make allowance for a reasonable shrink-
age.

A Rational Basis for Prices.

If we were to make inquiry of half
a dozen different lumber companies, or
any other class of firms dealing in a
certain commodity, we would surely not

fet such a wide difference in quotations,
t costs a certain amount to grow the
tree, plus the cost of creating the mar-
ket and then marketing the product,
and any nurseryman who would estab-
lish the business on a firm foundation,
in my opinion, must consider these
points. Otherwise, his house is built
upon sand. You cannot successfully
conduct a retail business and allow the
retail prices to fluctuate with the whole-
sale prices; so it is necessary to estab-
lish a price which will be fair to the
customer and, at the same time, yield a
fair profit to the nurseryman.

The mail order men may want to be
heard from here, and I do not want to
speak disparagingly of the mail order
business, but the question is: If there
were no traveling salesmen to work up
the demand for the nursery stock, would
the mail order business, of itself, flour-
ish? As it is, the farmer is shown by
the traveling salesman that it is profit-
able to plant trees. In other words, the
demand is created. He — the farmer —
then begins investigating the matter of
prices. The nurseryman who sends out
the salesman who is a good enough man
to create this demand, must ask a fair
price for this stock, in order to pay the
salesman. Once this demand is created,
then the catalogue man can send out
his little folder and, naturally, gets his
share of the business, as he can make
low prices, having no expense in creat-
ing this retail market.

Extending the retail market is a mat-
ter of first importance to each and all
of us, and there is not a nurseryman
present who. when he considers this
seriously, will not want to do his part,
as a matter of self-preservation.

PITTSBUBG.

The Market.

Pittsburg has received its share of
the extreme weather that has been
going the rounds and it has had its
effect on stock. The only wonder is
that there is as much good stock as is
coming in. Longiflorum lilies and val-
ley are the leaders in quality. Beauties
are becoming both smaller and scarcer.
The Killarneys are fair and carnations
are holding out quite well. There were
enough weddings, funerals and com-
mencements last week to clean up
everything.

Asters have not yet arrived here, as
there was no inside stock grown and
the dry weather in May delayed the
outside plants. Sweet peas from outside
are not so good as in other years.

A few of the plantsmen failed to
clean out on stock, but taken as a whole
it was a good plant year.

Various Notes.

Some of the employees at the whole-
sale houses have begun their vacations.

P. J. Demas, of the Pittsburg Florists '
Exchange, opened his new theater last
week.

Ed, McCallum made a trip to Con-
neaut last Sunday on his motorcycle.

The John Bader Co. celebrated the
end of the plant season by giving its
employees their annual picnic at the
firm's expense, and all enjoyed a good
time.

T. P. Langhans and Ben Elliott can
tell you how to run an automobile.
They' are having the varied experiences
of full-fledged chauffeurs. Hoo-Hoo.

TOBONTO.

Trade is holding out well, but after
this week it will be all over till Septem-
ber comes around again. The rest will
be much appreciated, for, from the first
of the month, everyone has been on the
jump. Trade has been excellent. Stock
is coming in fairly well. Roses are plen-
tiful, but the quality is not startling.
Quite a little mildew is seen. Carna-
tions are rather small. Sweet peas are
pretty nearly through and the outdoor
ones will not be in for some time. Val-
ley is still in good condition and sell-
ing well. Peonies are over. Asters are
coming in a little better and the de-
mand is excellent. Coreopsis are of ex-
cellent quality and sell well. S. Tidy &
Son have had a chrysanthemum plant
in their window. This was the first of
the season. It was Goldep Glow. The
outdoor gladioli are not yet in.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

June 20. 1911.

GRAND BAPIDS, MICH.

The Market.

The incessant nightly downpours,
which began the day following Decora
tion day, continue and are usually ac-
companied with fierce thunder and elec-
tric displays and the temperature all
through June has been excessively hot.

The bedding trade is about over,
most of it being finished two weeks
earlier than usual. More plants were
sold this year than last and business
as a whole has shown sufhcient improve-
ment so that all are satisfied.

Graduating exercises used up large
quantities of roses in bunches, red prin-
cipally, although a few used white.
Carnations are small and inclined to be
soft. Roses are plentiful and small.
Some growers have riweet peas, the
Spencer varieties, but the stems are
short. Gladioli show no signs of dimin-
ishing and move well at $1 per dozen.
Lilies are about over.

Various Notes.

Henry Smith is rebuilding three
houses and putting up two small violet
houses.

R. Yonkers and Klanksma Bros.,
both vegetable growers, are each put-
ting up two new vegetable greenhouses.

Crabb & Hunter have sold their Mad-
ison property to the city for a park
and playground, and will remove all
the buildings to their Reeds Lake prop-
erty. They expect to be kept busy on
the job until snow flies, and mavbe
longer. G. F. 0.

R. Yonkers is adding two new green-
houses to his plant south of the city,
each 34x275 feet, and so built that a
team can be driven in or a horse be
used in the cultivation of the growing
crop.

Peter Blanksma is rebuilding three
of his greenhouses, with a view to mak-
ing his plant thoroughly modern in ar-
rangement. His specialty is cu-
cumbers. With three of his houses
out of commission this season, he is
trying an experiment in growing the
vines outdoors as they are grown un-
der glass, training them up on wires in-
stead of letting them spread on the
ground.

Henry Smith is adding two large
houses to his plant on West Bridge
street and they will be used for violet
growing.

Elmira, N. Y.— Harry N. Hofifman, of
this city, acted as judge at the recent
show of the Syracuse Rose Society.

Feorla, 111. — Frank Jerabek has pur-
chased the Kipler greenhouses, north
of town.

COLUMBUS, O^

The Market.

Trade has slackened down fo the
summer basis now and a little funeral
work and an occasional wedding is
about the extent of the business. Stock
has been rather scarce lately, with the

♦ inajority of inferior quality. Boses are
coming somewhat better. A few Mrs.
Aaron Ward are on the market, but
they are short stemmed. White and
pink Killarneys are more abundant
than any others and they seem to with-

> -stand the extreme heat better, although
even they have suffered badly from the
weather. Carnations are quite plentiful
and some are of good quality. Sweet
peas are quite abundant in fine quality
and the demand has been good for
them. Valley is in fair demand, mostly
for weddings, and the quality is good.
There has been a heavy demand for
ferns and quite a number have been
used for porches, etc.

Various Notes.

r The Florists' Club held its regular

meeting June 13, with a good number

present, and it was decided to have

^e annual outing July 19, at Buckeye

fLake, with a good list of amusements,

etc.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. expects
to plant half of its carnation range in
the next week or so. The young rose
stock is looking fine and some blooms
are now being cut from it.
A The Livingston Seed Co. is cutting
Isome fancy sweet peas at present.
j[ Charles Buehler reports good business
Ijthis spring.

E. Metzmaier has cleaned up every-
thing in the way of bedding stock and
has had a good deal of funeral work.
Leo Miller is still cutting some good
carnatiens.

Ralph Knight says he is right in the
cucumber business now, as he grows
quite a few for a late crop.

E. Metzmaier and daughter are in
Pittsburg for several days' visit.

J. M.

Black Hall, Conn.— The firm of
Brown & Howard, renters of the Black
Hall Greenhouses, has been dissolved.
Only about a month after a good start
had been made in the business, Mr.
Brown was stricken with sciatica, and
it became evident, after three months
of suffering and ineffective 't^eStment
of the malady, that a petiod of rest
was necessary. James F. Barclay, of
^ Rhode Island, has purchased the busi-
' ness and secured a lease for five years.

New Orleans. La., June 13, 1911.
Keplying to your favor in regard to Fungine,
we are pleased to say that we have found it a
fine fungicide, especially on our Chrysantliemum
cuttings, and all cuttings generally. Also fine
lor mildew on roses. It is the best fungicide we
have ever tried.

Metairie Ridge Nursery Co.

Madison. N. J., .Tune 21. 1911.
I have sprayed our Crimson iRamblers with
Fungine, and it proved a great success, not
alone destroying the mildew, but also taking the
curl out of the leaves caused by the mildew,
There is no remedy that I know of that will
restore the leaves to their natural shape, only
Fungine, and Fungine alone.

Greenhouse Heating.

Subscribers are invited to write the
editor of the Heating Department, de-
scribing their troubles or asking any
questions regarding the heating of green-
houses, tlie jjiping or boiler-room. But
please do not ask us to make a choice of
apparatus for you. Each boiler adver-
tised in The Keview is a good boiler, and
the advertisers sell them on their merits.

SIZE OF BOILER.

What size of hot water boiler will be
needed for a house 30x100, ta heat it to
at least 60 degrees in zero weather?
Our location is western Missouri.

J. P. W.

In a house measuring 30x100 feet, to
be heated to 60 degrees in zero Weather
by means of liot water, about 1,200
square feet of radiating surface will be
required, and to supply this amount of
radiation with economy of fuel the
heater should have a rating for 1,500 to
1,600 square feet. A simple method of
arranging the piping would be to use
four 214-inch flow pipes and sixteen 2-
inch returns. Two of the flows could
be under the purlins and the others on
the side walls. The returns could be
distributed in four or more coils on the
walls and under the benches.

BUILDING AND PIPING A HOUSE.

At present I have one greenhouse^
10x40, running east and west, with the
boiler at the west end of it, and I pro-
pose to build another house, 2ox60, run-
ning east from the present house. I
wish to get your advice about the con-
struction and piping of the new house.

I want to use a concrete and wood
construction, but am not sure that my
idea is practical in regard to fastening
the eaves to the top of the wall. The
idea is to have iron bolts imbedded in
the last course of concrete, so that the
bolts will jjroject above the concrete
about three inches, and then to drill a
2x6 cypress sill, to rest directly on top
of the wall. The question is: How am
I to get sufficient fastening, with a slope
the same as the roof, for my mullions
at the eaves? Should the eaves slope in
or out of the house? How much pur-
lin support will be required? Is it nec-
essary to tie the purlins by cross-pipe
connections, or just run them the entire
length of the house? I should also like
to get suggestions as to the height of
the ridge and the side walls, the length
of the sashbars, the thickness of the
concrete wall and the depth to which it
should be set in the ground.

How much piping would be required
to grow a stock of miscellaneous potted
plants, including geraniums, bulbs,
primulas, etc., and perhaps a bench or
two of carnations, in this New York
climate? As the boiler-room is at the
west end of the plant, the piping, of
course, must be laid through the present

torn can be obtained at that depth, and
if the wall can be banked up on the
outside, it will answer if the excavation
is made to the depth of eighteen to
twenty-four inches. For the wall proper
use a width of eight inches at the bot-
tom and six at the top, the taper being
on the inside. This will necessitate hav-
ing the ridge supported or the roof
trussed, »v that there will be no side
thrust against the walls. The plates
can be bolted to the walls as planned
or a 6-inch sub-plate can first be
put on and then the regular plate can
be naile<l to this. The top of the
plate should have a short, sharp slope to-
ward the house and a much longer and
slighter slope away from the house.
The inner edge of the plate should be
something over an inch thick and the
outer edge should be not over three-
quarters of an inch thick.

Make the walls five feet high. Use
sashbarp fourteen feet long, which will
make the ridge about twelve feet high.
While a grout wall may be used from
the ground up to the plate, it would be
better to build it only to the height of
two and one-half or three feet and then
have sashes in the side walls containing
24-inch glass, carrying them up to the
plates. There should be a purlm in the
middle of each side of the roof, and if
these are tied together there will be no
occasion for a row of posts under the
Tidge. It will be desirable, however, to
have posts either under the purlins or
under the ridge.

To heat the house to 50 degrees, use
two 21^-inch flows and ten 2-inch re-
turns. The ^ows and returns can be on
the side walls or under the side benches.

^size of boiler, of sectional type, will be
needed to heat^lie house in good shape?
Is it absolutely' necessary to carry the
flows on the purlins, to get the best re-
sults? Is wrought iron pipe the best to
use? H. D. W. & S.

Under the rather severe conditions
mentioned, to heat a house 25x50 feet to
60 degrees, it will be well to put in
three 2i^-inch flow pipes and sixteen
2-inch returns. With this arrangement
it will be advisable to have one of the
flows under the ridge, although it could
be carried under the benches if the re-
turns are well above the boiler. The
boiler should have a rating of 800 to
900 square feet of radiating surface.

Whether wrought iron or east iron
pipe is preferable is largely a matter of
opinion. Some think wrought iron is
better, for one reason because it comes
in longer lengths and has threaded
joints; but others prefer cast iron and
one of the largest greenhouse building
concerns recommends its use with the
statement that rust or caulked joints are
the easiest joints there are to make.

BUILDING A BRICK STACK.

I am thinking of building a brick
smokestack in place of my iron stack,
which lasted only two winters. The
present stack is eighteen inches in diam-
eter and twenty feet high, which gives
ample draft. The brick stack will be
about seven feet from the boiler. Would
an 8-inch wall and a height of eighteen
feet be sufficient? How much larger
should the stack be at the base than at
the top? E. P. M.

There is nothing quite definite in the
question regarding what will be re-
quired, and all that can be done is to
base the answer upon the capacity of
the present stack. Especially as the
chimney is to be seven feet away from
the boiler, it will probably be well to
make it five feet higher rather than
lower. If it is built about 16x20 inches
inside, and with the walls eight inches
thick and twenty-five feet high, it Will
probably answer. In case other houses
are to be added, it may be advisable to
make the chimney sufficiently large to
provide for them. However, it will be
possible to increase the capacity of the
chimney fully fifty per cent by adding
ten or twelve feel to its height when-,
ever the other houses are built, if the
chimney is so constructed as to permit
this. The flue is so short that it would
not be worth while to make any change
in its interior diameter, but, unless the
chimney is to be supported in some way,
the, foundations should be made broad
and firm and the wall should be built
heavier up to the height of ten or'
twelve feet.

IN CENTRAL MICHIGAN.

We are told that black iron pipes
radiate heat better than galvanized
pipes and that painted pipes are the
worst. We are also told that 1-inch
piping is better than 1%-inch. Please
give us your opinion on this.

The floor of our present house is two
feet below the level of the ground, with
the piping under the benches. We are
planning to build an extension on top
of the ground, using beds instead of
benches. The flow would work all right
in the addition, but how should we plan
the return heating pipes? The present
house is 15 x 20. The addition would
be twenty feet wide and probably

have the present part, 15 x 20, the
warmer, with a temperature of 50 de-

the daytime. The larger and more dis-
tant part will be used for geraniums,
carnations and spring vegetable plants.
We will also- have sixty feet of cold-

tion, 10 X 20, for vegetable seed flats,
heated with a coal stove. This has been
all right this spring, giving us thou-
sands of tomato and other plants in

The rougher the surface of the pipe,
the greater the amount of surface ex-
posed and the more heat it will radiate.
It is for this reason that black pipe
will give off more heat than pipe that
has been either painted or galvanized.
Most of the paints used upon green-
house heating pipes are comparatively
poor conductors of heat and for this
reason thick asphaltum paint is not de-
sirable for coating greenhouse pipes.
A fairly good paint for this purpose,
which will serve to prevent the rusting
of the pipes and also interfere little
with the radiation from the surface
of the pipes, can be made from lamp-
black, with equal parts of linseed and
kerosene oil.

For steam heating 1 14 -inch pipe is
generally selected, but, unless the boiler

is well below the level of the pipes,
nothing smaller than 1%-inch pipe is
commonly used with hot water. If
the pipes are considerably elevated,
or if the runs are quite short, it might
be possible to use li4-inch or evon 1-
inch pipe, but 2-inch pipe is generally
preferred. If the end nearer the heater
is to be kept the warmer, it will be a
simple matter to pipe each house inde-
pendently of the other. Carrying the
flow and return pipes through the warm
bouse will tend to raise the tempera-
ture several degrees. To heat this
house will require about 120 square feet
of radiation and this means 240 linear
fedt of li/^-inch pipe. This can be
run around the walls and connected
with the boiler by means of 2-inch flows
and returns. To heat the addition, rui^
a 2iA-inch pipe from the boiler to the
farther end and there connect it with
tet 2-inch returns arranged in two
coils. Connect each of these coils with
the boiler by means of a 2-inch pipe.
A hotbed such as described- can be
used to good advantage for starting
vegetable and bedding plants in the
spring.

ERIE, PA.

Various Notes.

•i^hrist Wolf met with a sad misfor-
tune .Tune IS, his sixteen year-old son,
Clarence, being killed while out bicycle
riding. An auto ran into him, killing
him almost instantly. Mr. Wolf, his
father, is greenhouse manager for Chas.
G. Offerle. Mr. Wolf has the sympathy
of his large number of friends and
Itrother florists.

The working force of the Baur Floral
<.'o. is now complete. Jack Kallenbach,
the foreman, is at work again after an
illness of forty-four weeks, caused by
the kick of a horse. It was found
necessary to amputate Mr. Kallen-
bach 's left leg six inches below the
knee. With him as foreman, Eric
Thompson as assistant foreman, Eobert
Birnie in charge of the rose section,
Ed. Liohtinger in charge of the car-
nation section and A. J. Baur, the
president of the company, looking after
its business affairs, they expect to grow
a larger and better stock of plants and
cut flowers than ever before.

The Erie Floral Co., of which H. J.
Wise is manager, is getting the place in
fine shape, with seven houses, 30x150,
in roses, and twenty houses, 24x125, in
carnations. This firm has the reputa-
tion of growing some of the best cut
flowers in Erie.

J. y. Laver's trade has increased
to such an extent that he could sell
about three times as much as his place
produces. J. E. K.

Jermyn, Pa. — James Nicholson, of
Jefferson avenue, has bought some
greenhouses from Burton H. Park for
.$1,700.

Shenandoah, la. — Mrs. M. L. Sherman
has decided to withdraw from business
for about a year, on account of failing
health.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

The demand for flowers increased
wonderfully last week, owing to the
graduating exercises. All schools held
the exercises and the sudden demand
caused such a sljortage as has not been
experienced for a long . time. Koses
were especially short and it was impos-
sible to fill all orders for them. Carna-
tions were more plentiful, but, owing
to the hot, dry weather, the blooms
were small. Peas were also scarce.
This about ends the rush for this
spring and we can safely say that
spring stock was never in such demand.
Hardly a house in the city is without
some sort of a decoration and the stock
left is insignificant. Outdoor peas are
now on the market and the price
dropped immediately to an extremely
low figure.

Various Notes.

Buffalo had the pleasure of entertain-
ing the Modern Woodmen of America
last week and the city was crowded.
The convention created only a slight
demand for stock. The windows were
decorated for the occasion and some
original ideas were displayed. The
window of the Lenox Flower Shop was
so good looking that one woman from
Seattle knocked a large palm through
the plate glass.

John Kramer will be married on
Wednesday of next week.

S. A. Anderson has shipped a large
quantity of young begonia stock, which
left in fine shape. R. A. S.

NEWCASTLE, IND.

P. J. Lynch, whose company previous-
ly owned nine acres of land here, to be
used as a site for a range of green-
houses, has now bought the adjoining
property of the Indiana Fiber Box Co.
and the Newcastle Canning Co., includ-
ing three acres of ground, buildings,
power, etc. This new purchase provides
Mr. Lynch with offices, a storehouse and
a power plant for his new range, and
also equips him with railroad shipping
facilities, through the Big Four switch
to the old canning factory.

The new range will be started with
the erection of three houses, each 35x
500. E. A. Parker, superintendent of
the company's West Grove plant, was
recently in this city, in consultation
with Mr. Lynch in regard to the build-
ing operations here.

The best Labor Saving^

device on the place

Charles Moebius, West Toledo, Ohio, writes us :

" We find the Skinner System the best labor saving device we
have on the place, and in fact we could not do without it. It will
water the ^ound evenly and will not cake the soil. We think the
man away out of date that uses a hose, as he will not be able to ^ow
such fine stuff without your watering device."
This is but one of hun-

dreds of similar letters we
have gotten from florists all
over the country.

The woven jacket construction makes a stronger

absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening
at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on
cotton duck. ■ This construction also gives a more I

The Market.

Trade is assuming the summer aspect,
as are also Beauties, roses and carna-
tions. There has been a little funeral
work and a few small weddings, but
outside of that it is quiet. Sweet peas
are about at an end. Shasta daisies,
gladioli, lilies and outdoor flowers are
plentiful.

Various Notes.

Walter Bertermann was one of the
contestants in the endurance run to
French Lick given by the Indianapolis
Automobile Trade Association.

Albert Pittet has returned from a
ten days' trip through Texas.

The committee in charge of the picnic
of the State Florists' Association has
decided on Fairview park. It will be
held about the middle of July, and Mr.
Ludlow, superintendent of the park, is
aiding the committee in its efforts to
make the picnic a success. There are
to be numerous attractions, among them
being the usual ball game, races on
the ponies and numerous other events.

A. Wiegand & Sons have been cut-
ting some fine orchids lately.

Fred Hukreide celebrated his tenth
wedding anniversary last week.

Sidney Smith is busy overhauling his
greenhouses. He says that when he
gets through you won 't know the place.

Herman Junge has been confined to

George "Wiegand is going down to
Brown county this week for a ramble

The Pahud Flora] Co. had its boilers
overhauled this week, having had to
put in a number of new flues along
with the other repairs.

Baur & Steinkamp is the name of the
new firm of which Adolph Baur is the

for a large aster crop. H. L. W.

De Land, Fla. — Wm. B. Currey has
started business here and is building
his first greenhouse, in which he will
grow carnations and potted plants. He
intends to erect a rose house next year.
He has a fine, central location, on Oak-
land place. This town is a winter health
resort and the seat of the J. B. Stetson
University. He thinks, therefore, that
he has good reasons for expecting an
excellent winter trade.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

JuNB 29, 1911.

CLEVEIAND.

Tbe Market.

There is not much exciting in the
florists' business at present. June wed-
dings are coming in dqiily and saving
the day for the wholesalers and retail-
ers alike. Stock is not scarce and it is
not up to the top notch in quality,
which is not unusual at this season of
the year. Outside sweet peas are com-
ing in and make a fine showing. Water
lilies are plentiful, but unsatisfactory,
except for daylight decorations.

VariOQS Notes.

The Jones-Bussell Co. has built a
fountain in the store. It is constructed
of pieces of marble and granite and
filled with umbrella palms, water lilies
and mountain ferns. It is quite taste-
ful and attractive. The firm reports
business excellent.

John M. Carey, of Mount Clemens,
Mich., was a Cleveland visitor over
Sunday.

Frank J. Bitzenthaler, who has been
on the sick list, is able to be at work
again.

H. P. Knoble, of Knoble Bros., has
moved out to his country home, on the
shore of Lake Erie.

The greenhouses of the J. M. Gasser
Co. are in fine condition. They have
their Killarney all cut back and their
field carnations are looking fine. They
have recently overhauled their rose
range, painting and reglazing it.

The arrangements for the picnic are
about completed. The date will -prob-
ably be the last week of July; the
place, Puritan Springs park.

The board of control of the fall flower
show reports good progress. The guar-
antee fund is about completed. The
enthusiastic response to their appeal
is good proof of the progressiveness of
Cleveland florists. C. D. F.

L. F. Darnell is offering for sale his
liolding of stock in the J. M. Gasser
Co. It is understood Mr. Darnell in-
tends removing from Cleveland, to give
his attention to other investments.

The Bar That Makes
U-Bar Greenhouses
The Famous Greenhouses
They Are

THE U-BARS are the vital part of the framework of U-Bar
Greenhouses. The steel bars give the supporting strength
needed. Galvanizing protects them against rust. Aluminum
coating gives them an enduring, brilliant finish. The chem-
ically treated cypress core bar and galvanized steel U-Biar is
no larger than the smallest wooden roof-bar used in other
constructions. The glass is two feet wide. Buy a U-Bar
Greenhouse— own a U-Bar Sunshine Shop of your own.

King Greenhouses;

WHEN?
WHY?

NOW!

Because you cannot get better and
can get much worse.

The additional they may cost over
the inferior kind is a very small pro-
portion of the total cost, so why take
the inferior ?

The glass, heating and erecting cost
the same in any case. Try it once
and you will be convinced.

Send for question blank and bul-
letins, and we will figure for you.

The Exhibition.

The third annual meeting and exhibi-
tion .of the National Sweet Pea Society
of America was held in Horticultural
hall, Philadelphia, June 29 and 30. The
exhibition which was open to the pub-
lic and advertised in the local papers,
drew a good attendance, both Thursday
and Friday, and it was interesting to
see the care with which the leading va-
rieties were noted by the visitors. This
is a step in the cultivation of the great
field of popular education. The weath-
er, which has been anything but favor-
able for sweet peas, up to two days be-
fore the show, was simply ideal — clear
and bright, not too warm, bringing out
the colors splendidly.

The exhibition, taken as a whole, is
said by competent judges to be the
finest yet held by the society. While
many exhibitors helped to make the
show, one stood preeminently above the
others. This exhibit was made possi-
ble by fall planting. Many small and
would-be exhibitors said that they
would have made a far finer exhibit
later in the season, but the hot, dry
spring had spoiled their chances.

The Burpee Exhibit.

The exhibit of W. Atlee Burpee &
•Co., covering the entire north side of
the main hall, comprised 142 varieties
of the best standard sorts and many
novelties, some of them never before
eeen. It captured the society's silver
medal for the best collection of sweet
peas, six certificates of merit for the
novelties, and the North American cup
for a new color, Vermilion Brilliant,
that may be described as a rose scarlet.
Among their other notable varieties
were: Sterling Stent, clear, shining or-
tinge, a new English variety not yet
offered in America; No. 875, pale lav-
ender; Irish Belle, warm rosy lavender;
Fordhook Fairy, white with faint blush.
The Burpee exhibit was beautifully
staged, the tasteful arrangement en-
hancing the excellence of the individual
vases. Pampas grass was used as a
background, while the monotony of

rows of even vases was relieved by a
step at the back and by so-called tro-
phies or pyramids of pocket vases that
gave the effect, when filled, of a rich
flower column. These pyramids, stand-
ing over four feet high on the table,
were each completely filled with a sin-
gle variety. They were: Marie Corelli,
brilliant rose-carmine or red; White
Spencer, pure white of largest size;
Countess Spencer, lovely pale pink; Hel-
en Lewis, large, wavy, orange-colored
standard, rosy salmon wings; Dainty
Spencer, white, edged pale pink; George
Herbert, bright rosy carmine; Mrs.
Boutzahn, buff or apricot ground with
delicate pink flush; Florence Nightin-
gale, pale lavender; King Edward Spen-
cer, red, almost a crimson. Every de-
tail of culture and of arrangement be-
spoke the master hand and reflected the
greatest credit on George W. Kerr.
There were many other excellent ex-

of white sweet peas, gracefully ar-
ranged, that attracted much attention.

Miscellaneous Exhibits.

There were two orchid exhibits: one
of thirty-two varieties from Joseph A.
Manda, West Orange, N. J., that con-
tained many fine specimens of rare and
commercial sorts; the other of extra
well-grown commercial varieties from
the Julius Eoehrs Co., Rutherford, N. J.
The front of the stage was occupied by
Bertrand H. Farr, Reading^ Pa., with an
exhibit of sixty-three varieties of Jap-
anese iris that lent pleasing variety to
the scene. John Lewis Childa, Floral
Park, N. Y., had a vase of his beauti-
ful yellow calla, Elliottiana. Henry A.
Dreer occupied a large part of the foyer
with a fine exhibit of water lilies and
Japanese iris. There were six tanks of
nymphseas in hardy and tender varie-
ties, the foliage lending a natural ef-

hibits of sweet peas, showing fine, well-
grown blossoms. The effect of several
of the exhibits was heightened by the
use of asparagus, relieving the white-
ness of the tables and bringing out the
soft colors of the flowers. The classes
for the retailers were neglected. Robert
Kif t exhibited a bride 's shower bouquet

feet to the cut flowers, which were blue,
pink, yellow and white. The tanks were
banked with ferns. The iris were
displayed in Japanese vases, each va-
riety in a vase by itself. This exhibit
was particularly interesting.

The balance of the foyer was filled
by a variety of outdoor flowers, con-

spicuous among them being a mammoth
deep crimson zinnia which attracted
much attention for its size and richness
of coloring.

The exhibit of the Fett patent flower
vase demonstrated how flowers can have
fresh water daily without disarranging
them, the flowers being firmly held in
place by a wire lattice in a cornucopia-
shaped holder with screen bottom which
fits into the vase filled with water. The
advantage of this holder is that the
flowers can be removed without disar-
rangement and fresh water put in for
them. M. C. Ebel, Madison, N. J.,
brought an exhibit of Aphine, knowing
full well that it is a true friend of the
sweet pea.

The Bnsiness Meeting.

Howard M. Earl had some difficulty
in gathering the clans for business, so
interesting was the renewal of old
friendships and the exhibition. There
was a good attendance of members and
those interested when Robert Craig made
the address of welcome in his usual
happy style. Harry Turner, of Yonk-
ers, N. Y., responded on behalf of the
society. Vice-president Sim occupied
the chair in the absence of President
Burpee, who vras on the ocean. Secre-
tary Bunyard read the following letter
from Mr. Burpee:

Will you kindly express to our fellow members
of the National Sweet Pea Society of America
my sincere regrets that Instead of being present
to deliver the president's address, I am compelled
to offer an apology and explanation.

The apology will surely be accepted when
you offer the explanation that it was only after
our March meeting In Boston, when the date
of the Philadelphia exhibition was fixed for
June 23 and 24, that I engaged passage for
myself, Mrs. Burpee and sons on the Olympic
June 28, so that we could attend the Exhibition
of the National Sweet Pea Society of England,
which we were compelled to miss last year.

Kindly explain also how deeply I regretted the
necessity for deciding with you and otner fellow
members, after conference two weeks ago with
members of the Pennsylvania Horticultural So-
ciety, that, owing to the lateness of the season,
it would be necessary to postpone oar exhibition

While on the "briny deep," I shall be with you

General View of the Ezhibition of the National Sweet Pea Sodety, Philadelphia, June 29 and 30.

all In spirit and Bball look forward eagerly to
receiving, July 4, upon arrival at Soatbampton,
a oflblegrara telling of the success of tbls tnlrd
aDiinal ezblbltlon. I feel quite sure that under
your mble management, and you are well entitled
to be called "tbe father of the National Sweet
Tea Society," assisted by our vice-president and
otlier ofllcers, together with such willing helpers
as Messrs. Craig, Pennock, Rust, Watson,
Mirbell, Earl and Kerr, the exhibition will be
a decided success.

Such work as you and your colaborera have
done HO effectively at the two previous ezblbitlons
of our infant society is of lasting value In
bringing to the notice of the trade and of
growers generally tbe importance of the sweet
pea as deservedly the most popular of all flowers
grown from seed.

But should I continue in this strain I might
tire you with expressions of ray love for the
sweet pea, even more than if I could have been
able to deliver In person "President Burpee's
Address," for which the program has me booked.

Only two words more In closing. At our meet-
ings we have never discussed polities. Your
present president, therefore, does not know the
political opinions of bis fellow members. What-
ever their polities may be, however, I tiilnk
that most of our members will agree that the
Ex-President of tbe United States acted wisely
in urging as his successor President Taft, who
certainly, despite all criticisms, will make good
as an honest, intelligent executive.

Now would it be asking too much for me to
suggest that upon reading this letter (if you
think it worth reading), some member put
In nomination the name of William Sim, of
Cliftondale, Mass., and that another member
should then move that the nominations for
president be closed. Mr. Sim needs no intro-
duction. As vice-president be has been most
earnest and effective In his work for tbe ad-
vancement of the interests of our society and
1 feel sure that this suggestion of your retiring
president will meet with the hearty approval
of all.

The secretary's report showed the so-
ciety to be in excellent condition. Then
came the paper entitled "The History
of the Sweet Pea, ' ' by Leonard Barron,
managing editor of the Garden Maga-
zine, read by A. C. Beal, of Cornell
University, which was given a rising
vote of thanks. Mr. Beal also told of
the trials of the sweet peas at Ithaca.

Visit to Fordhook.

The beautiful weather that had fa-
vored the Sweet Pea Society continued
throughout the afternoon of the second
day, when the visitors were the guests
of W. Atlee Burpee & Co. at their farm
and trial grounds at Fordhook, near
DoylestowB, Pa. The party left the
Reading terminal early in the afternoon
and spent nearly four hours most de-

lightfully at Fordhook. Jklr. Earl and
his staff met the party on arrival and
by their genial good fellowship made
everyone feel thoroughly at home and
in the best possible mood for enjoying
the afternoon. Mr. Kerr, who had come
out with the party, devoted himself to
their entertainment, telling about the
sweet pea novelties and standard varie-
ties, their habits, their strong points,
their requirements and comparison one
with the other. Mr. Earl called espe-
cial attention to the benefit the sweet
peas had derived from the Skinner sys-
tem of irrigation, which had saved the
crop this spring. There are ten acres
of land in all irrigated in this way and
it has proved of the greatest value dur-
ing the two seasons it has- been in use.
The ease with which it can be adapted
to any special requirement is one of its
strong points; Mr. Earl says that noth-
ing can be compared with it. The sweet
peas bore eloquent testimony to the
cultural skill that had been lavished
on them; the flowers on the vines fully
equaled those on the exhibition tables,
affording the additional advantage of
studying the habit of growth of each
variety.

There were many other beautiful flow-
ers. The pansy beds resembled a flow-
ered carpet. The phloxes and the snap-
dragons were especially fine. Then there
were the perennial beds and the trial
beds for grass seed; the tomatoes, mo^t
important among the vegetables. The
wavy fields of ripened wheat were beau-
tiful.

Douglas Earl assisted his father in
showing the visitors over the farm. He
took especial pride in the Crimson Ram-
blers planted at every post, which will
in time reflect the beauty of the arch-
covered path that adorns the approach.
Douglas Earl's bright interest in all
that is being done for the advancement
of horticulture at Fordhook indicates
where we may look for progress in the
future.

When the guests had left the dining-
room and were gathered on the porch

Mr. Turner thanked Mr. Earl heartily
on behalf of those present for the de-
lightful afternoon they had all enjoyed
so much. Mr. Earl replied that it was a
pleasure to have the members of the
National Sweet Pea Society at Ford-
hook and that he would be glad to see
each and all of them there at any time.

SECItETABT BUNYABD'S BEPOBT.

[Presented at the annual meeting of the
National Sweet Pea Society of America, held at
Philadelphia, June 29 and 30, 1911.]

When I helped to organize the Na-
tional Sweet Pea Society three years
ago, I stated at the first meeting that
it would and must be a success. Up to
this time it has not fulfilled my high-
est expectations, but we have made sub-
stantial progress, have learned some-
thing and have placed the society on a
sound foundation. Aided by the expe-
rience of the past, we hope to be still
more successful in furthering the aims
and objects of the society.

Up to and including this exhibition,
we have held four shows — two in New
York, one in Boston in connection with
the S. A, F.'s National Flower Show,
and the Philadelphia exhibition. All of

The Business Meeting.

Howard M. Earl had some difficulty
in crathoring the clans for business, so
interesting was the renewal of old
friendships and the exhibition. There
was ;t good attendance of members and
those interested when Kobert Craig made
the address of welcome in his usual
happy style. Harry Turner, of Youk-
ers, N. Y., resj^nded on behalf of the
society. Vice-president Sim occupied
the chair in the absence of President
Burpee, who was on the ocean. Secre-
tary Bunyard read the following letter
from Mr. Burpee:

Will you kindly express to our fellow members
of the National Sweet Pea Sooiet.v of America
my sincere rejirets that instead of being present
to deliver the president's address, I am compelled
to offer an npolojty and explanation.

The aiiology will surely be accepted wben
yon offer the exiilaiiation that it was only after
our .Mareli meeting in Boston, when the date
of the Philadelphia exhibition was fixed for
JiHie L'.'! and 24. that I enRaged passage for
myself. Mrs. 15iirpee and sons on the Olympic
June I'S. so that we could attend the Exhibition
of the National Sweet Pea Society of England,
which we were compelled to miss last year.

Kindly explain also how deeply I regretted the
necessity for deciding witli you and other fellow
members, after conference two weeks ago with
members of the Pennsylvania Ilorticnitural So-
ciety, that, owing to the lateness of the season,
it would be necessary to postpone our exhibition
at least a week.

While on the "briny deep," I shall be with you

General View of the Exhibition of the National Sweet Pea Society, Philadelphia, June 29 and 30.

n <'alilt');raiii tolling of tlio success of tliis tliirtl
nniMial exhibition. I ft'il ipiitc sure tliat umlor
your able uianaKt'nicnt, and you (irc well entitled
to lie called •'llie father of the National Sweet
I'ea Society," assisted l)y our vice president and
oilier ollieers, toKellier with sueli willinfr helpers
as Messrs. Craij;, I'ennoek, Kust. Watson,
Miehell, Karl and Kerr, llie exliiliition will he
a decided success.

Such work as you an<l your colaborers have
done 80 effectively at the two previous exhiliKions
of our infant scK'iety is of la.sliu); value in
bringing to the notice of the trade and of
growers generally the iiuportanee of the sweet
pen as deservedly the most popidar of all llowers
grown from seed.

But should I continue in this strain I niiglit
lire you with expressions of my lov(> for the
sweet pea, even more than if I couId have been
able to deliver in person ••rresl<lent lUirpee's
Address," for which the lungrani has me booked.

Only two words more in closing. .\t our meet-
ings we have never discussed polilics. Your
present president, theref<irc. ihics n •! know the
IKilitical opinions of his fellow nieniliers. What-
ever their politics in.ay be. however, I think
that most of our members will agree that the
i;.t-President of tlie Inili'd Slates acted wisely
in urging as his successor I'resideMt Taft, who
certainly, despite all criticisms, will make good
as an honest, intellig<nt executive.

Now would it be asking too much for me to
suggest that upon reading Ibis Idler (if you

think it worlli readingl, some iidier put

in nomination the name of William Sim, ..f
fliflondale, Mass., and that anollier niembi'r
shoul.l then move that the iioniinations for
president be closed. Mr. Sim needs no intro-
du<-lion. .\s vice president be lias been most
earnest and efTedive in his work f..r the nd-
vaiiccnu'iit of the interests of ..iir -..ciciy and
I ft cl sure that this sni:ucst ion of .\.iiir retiring

their entertainment, telling about the
sweet pea novelties and standard varie-
ties, their habits, their strong jioints.
their requirements and comparison one
with the other. Mr. Earl called espe-
cial attention to the benefit the sweet
peas had derived from the Skinner sys-
tem of irrigation, which had saved the
crop this spring. There are ten acres
of land in all irrigated in this way and
it has proved of the greatest value dur-
ing the two seasons it has- been in use.
The ease with which it can be adapted
to any special requirement is one of its
strong jioints; Mr. Earl says tliat noth-
ing can be compared with it. The swoot

cultural skill that had been Lavished

these have been an expense to the so-
ciety, no charge for admission being
made. The only source of income is
from the active memberships, life mem-
berships and the guarantors who have
generously come to the front when
needed. We have today 110 active mem-
bers and twelve life members.

The Exhibitions and Their Besults.

Personally, I know that good results
have accrued from our exhibitions. Per-
haps the most material results are from
the Boston exhibition. The winter
flowering sweet peas shown by William
Sim, of Cliftondale, Mass., excited more
than general interest and admiration,
so much so that several florists in the
vicinity of New York are building
houses especially to grow sweet peas
this winter.

The great difficulty in holding exhi-
bitions in this country is its vastness.
What would be a good date in Phila-
delphia would be too early for New
York and a good date for New York
would be too early for New England,
and that applies also to the west; so
that the exhibition really resolves itself
into a local show, which is a good rea-
son for changing the place of meeting
from year to year. Of course, this year
has been exceptional, owing to weather
conditions. It has been suggested by
one of our exhibitors that the date
should be set at this meeting and should
be either the last week in June or the
first week in July. This would give
growers the opportunity to sow their
sweet pea seed to conform with these
dates. It is much easier for a grower
to hold off for a week than to force his
plants into bloom. I trust that the con-
vention will seriously consider this mat-
ter.

Signs of Progress.

Our society has helped to popularize
the Spencer varieties of sweet peas

Anton Zvolanek an entirely new race of
sweet peas, some of which equaled and
others even excelled the beauty and
type of the Spencers. Mr. Zvolanek de-
serves great credit for his work, and I
hope that in the near future this so-
ciety will be able to accord medals to
hybridizers and raisers of new varieties.
I understand that W. Atlee Burpee &
Co., at Fordhook, are also working along
these lines and have some promising
seedlings. Credit is also due to the
gentlemen who have helped to finance
our society, not only from its inception,
but also at a time when guarantee
funds were needed for prizes, etc. I
wish at this time to thank the gener-
ous donors of prizes, and your presi-
dent, W, Atlee Burpee, for his time and
moral support so generously given,

A Selection of Varieties.

If I were asked to name the best
Spencer, Unwin, grandiflora and winter
flowering sweet peas today, I would
give the following list, apart from the
varieties introduced this year:

SPENCER VARIETIES.

Asta Ohn Spencer, pure lavender, tinted pink-
ish rose, self color.

Aurora Spencer, orange, rose or salmon striped
on white.

Apple Blossom Spencer, standard bright crim-
son rose, wings white tinged with pink.

Captain of Blues Spencer, bluish purple with
distinct margin of lilac.

Countess Spencer, the original Spencer, clear,
bright pink.

Helen Lewis, standard crimson orange, wings
orange rose.

Flora Morse Spencer, delicate blush with pink
margin.

George Herbert, rose carmine.

John Ingman, rose carmine with rose veins.

King Edward Spencer, pure, bright red or
crimson scarlet.

Lovely Spencer, standard light blush pink, with
blotch or rose at the base.

Othello Spencer, deep velvety maroon.

Mrs. Routzahn Spencer, primrose and buflT,
with margin and edge of light salmon.

Mrs. Walter Wright Spencer, rosy purple, self
color.

Primrose Spencer, pure light primrose yellow.

White Spencer, pure white.

Dreer's Aqtiatics at the National Sweet Pea Show.

among growers, private and commer-
cial, and while some of the grandiflo'ras
are still popular, they are fast being
'displaced by the Spencer and Unwin
types.

At Boston there were exhibited by

UNWIN VARIETIES.

Frank Dolby, lavender and mauve.

Gladys Unwin, clear, bright pink, a little
deeper at the edges, almost self color.

E. J. Castle, bright rose crimson, with veins
of deeper rose.

Bolton's Pink, orange or salmon pink, reined
with rose.

Burpee's Earliest White, pure white.

Dorothy Eckford, pure white.

Edward VII, pure bright red or crimson
scarlet.

Extra Early Blanche Ferry, standard bright
crimson rose, wings white tinged with pink.

Helen Pierce, marbled blue on ivory white.

Ho^. Mrs. E. Kenyon, clear, light primrose.

Lady Grlsel Hamilton, standard light mauve,
wings lavender.

Lord Nelson, standard Indigo and violet, wings
Indigo.

Lovely, deep pink, shading to very light pink
at edges.

Miss Wlllmott, orange pink, with veins of
deeper orange rose.

Mrs. George Higginson, Jr., clear acure blue,
the lightest and clearest blue In sweet peas.

Prince Olaf, light blue, striped on white.

Queen Alexandra, very bright red, almost a
true scarlet.

WINTER FLOWERING SWEET PEAS.
Canary, primrose yellow.

Mrs. Wm. Sim, salmon pink,
Mrs. W. W. Smalley, satiny pink.
Snowbird, pure white.
Wallacea, lavender.
Watchung, pure white.

While experts may differ with me on
my selection, people will not go far
wrong in planting the foregoing varie-
ties.

Cornell University, where, under the
care of Professor Craig and A. C. Beal,
the trials of our society have been
held, has just issued bulletin No. 301,
entitled "Sweet Pea Studies." This
has been mailed to all members
through the courtesy of the university,
under frank without cost to the society.
Thanks are due for the energy and work
of the above gentlemen. If any mem-
ber has not received a copy, I would
ask them to kindly notify me at once.

Care in Naming and Disseminating.

Keferring to the foregoing selection
of sweet peas, I think we are somewhat
blessed in this country by not having
such an interminable quantity of new
varieties placed on the market as they
have in England every year. Unless it
has real merit over existing varieties, a
new variety has no place in the Amer-
ican seed catalogue or in the garden;
neither do we have the same conflict of
synonymous varieties under different
names. Our growers in California, where
eighty per cent of the sweet pea seed
of the world is grown, are exceptional'
ly careful, not only as to the new varie-
ties they disseminate, but also as to
roguing their stocks; neither do they
send out new varieties, to their knowl-
edge, unless they are thoroughly set.
Among the most distinct breaks of re-
cent years are the varieties Stirling
Stent and Earl Spencer, In reality these
are Henry Eckford Spencers, and this,
I believe, would be a better name. Many
colors we have today cannot be bet-
tered. The colors the hybridizers are
aiming for are a real buttercup yellow,
the scarlet of the geranium and the blue
of the Delphinium Belladonna.

In the meantime the hybridizers
should concentrate their efforts upon
the improvement of the stock with ref-
erence to the size and substance of the
flower, number of flowers on a stem,
length of the stem and strength and
habit of the plant, and should aim to
produce an American breed of flowering
sweet peas that will stand our hot sum-
mers, so that not only in name, but in
fact, they will become the poor man 's
orchid and the rival of that flower.

OBSERVATIONS ON SWEET PEAS.

[A paper by Edwin I»ii8(lale, of Lompoc, Cal..
read at the annual ineetluK of the National Sweet
Pea Society of America, June 2fl and 30, 1911.]

We are all aware that the sweet pea,
l?y its own intrinsic worth, has forged
to the front and now heads the list
among annual flowfers, aided to some
extent, of course, by its numerous ar-
dent admirers. The sweet pea is rarely
out of place, and is almost as much at
home blooming in the city yard as it
is in the more pretentious gardens of
the suburbanite or on the broader acre-
age, farther afield, among the more
wealthy.

The late and highly respected Henry
Eekford is everywhere accorded the
honored title of "Father of the Sweet
Pea," having by painstaking and well
directed effort, in cross-fertilizing and
selecting, improved it in many of the
great essentials, which include size,
color and form, but it was the advent
of that beautiful variety, Countess
Spencer, which marked the greatest ad-
vance in the modern sweet pea, and the
tendency to sport or vary, which this
modern type has a predisposition to do,
is not the least among its interesting
qualities.

The Sportive Tendency.

Someone has said that this sportive
tendency "is a blessing in disguise,"
and I believe it. Most assuredly it has
added zest to the growing of sweet peas
generally in recent years, for many en-
thusiasts in these days are continually
on the lookout for new color shades,
new color combinations and an addi-
tional eighth of an inch to the standard.
The tendency of the modern sweet pea
to throw sports has caused many en-
thuiasts to observe more closely for
color and other variations, and thus has
added materially to their pleasures iu
sweet pea growing.

We hear sometimes the carping critic
bewailing the fact that there are too
many varieties, and some have gone so
far as to take the trouble of preparing
lists of too-much-alike varieties, but we
must always bear in mind that each
color selection frequently has charac-
teristics all its own, which are often
influenced by different soil or climatic
conditions, so that it behooves us to try
all varieties and hold on to those which
answer our own individual purposes
best. Florists everywhere find sweet
peas, both in the winter season and
also when grown outdoors in summer,
always useful to cut from and never
out of place, and the newer Spencers,
with their larger and more wavy stand-
ards, lend themselves most gracefully
to all floral art. This type also has
another advantage for garden and
floral decorations, on account of its fail-
ing to set seed so freely as does the
older grandiflora types, thus prolonging
its season for producing flowers.

Suggestions as to Varieties.

Among crimsons, nothing in general
cultivation is superior to King Edward
Spencer, as it lights up so well under
the influence of artificial light at night.
For a delicate pink, the best selections
of the original Countess Spencer are
still among the most choice. For ma-
roon, Othello answers the purpose well.
White Spencer is one of the best in
that color. For a cream, Primrose Spen-
cer at its best is at the head of the
list. So far as I have seen, in the light
lavender shade, there is nothing better
than the newer Florence Nightingale.

W. Alice Burpee.

(Prealdent National ^w«et Pea Society.)

The foregoing list is of course recom-
mended for outdoor growing in summer
time.

For winter blooming an entirelj' dis-
tinct type is made use of, among which
may be mentioned: Earliest White, or
Florence Denzer, and Mont Blanc. For
cream, Earliest Sunbeams is good.
Christmas Pink and reselected Earliest
of All Blanche Ferry are quite popular
among the pinks. For rosy lavender,
Mrs. Alex. Wallace, and for violet pur-
ple, Le Marquis are grown. The win-
ter blooming class is not of the Spencer
type, but these, I am reliably informed,
are on the way to arrive quite soon.

The crops of sweet pea seeds at this
writing are quite uncertain, especially
at Floradale, where, on account of
weather conditions, planting was from
four to six weeks later than in 1910.

PROPAGATION OP FICUS.

Please give us information as to
time and manner of the propagation of
Ficus elastica. S. G.

In summer propagation can be effect-
ed by making cuts, slanting ones are
best, six to twelve inches from the
tops of any of the shoots. The cuts
should be two to three inches long and
between eyes. Rub some fine charcoal
in the cut and put in a fine-pointed
stick, like a toothpick, to prevent
its closing. Then wrap a handful of
sphagnum or wood moss around the
cut. Tie it securely with raflSa or soft
twine and keep constantly moist. The
tops should be cut off and potted as
soon as roots are seen pushing through
the moss. Place in small pots. Tie up
the leaves for a time and spray fre-

quently until established, growing
them in a close, moist house. Where
there are large, bushy plants at com-
mand, this is much the best method of
propagation, as if the moss is kept
moist no cuttings should fail to root.
In winter, any time after Christ-
mas, when a steady, brisk bottom heat
is at command, top cuttings can be
taken and rooted in a propagating
bench, where the bottom heat is 75 to
8.) degrees. Tie up the leaves and
keej) the bed constantly moist. The
writer has found cuttings to root bet-
ter where some chopped sphagnum and
fine charcoal were mixed with the sand.
Another method of propagation is from
single eyes with one leaf. The leaf
must be tied up and when potted
should be staked. This is a favorite
])lan of propagation in Belgium, but it
takes longer to produce plants and is
for that reason little used here. A
brisk bottom heat is, of course, neces-
sary M'ith single eye cuttings also.

C. W.

CUTTING BACK HYDRANGEAS.

I have a lot of hydrangeas from 5-
inch and (i-inch pots, which failed to
flower this spring, and I have just
planted them out. They are quite tall,
having stood close together until now.
Should I cut them back, and if so, how
much? F. O.

Cut them back to within six inches
of the ground. This work would have
been better done a month ago, but if
the plants are in a position where they
can get some water in dry weather,
they should make quite good growths
before the middle of October, when they
will require lifting and potting.

through the courtesy of the university,
under fr;ink without cost to the societv.

of the above gentlemen. Jf any mem-
ber has not received a copy, 1 wouUl

Care in Naming and Disseminating,

K'eterring to the foregoing selection
of sweet peas, I think we are somewhat
blessed in this country by not having
such ;m interminable (piantity of new
varieties jdaced on the market as they
h.ave in England every year. Unless it
has real merit over existing varieties, ;i
new variety has no place in the Amer
ictin seed catalogue or in the garden:
neither do we have the same conflict of
synonymous varieties under different
names. Our growers in California, where
eighty per cent of the sweet pea seed
of the world is grown, are exceptional-
ly caiefiil, not only as to the new varie-
ties they disseminate, but also as to
roguing their stocks; neither do they
seiol out new varieties, to their knowl-
ei|o(., unless they are thoroughly set.
.\nioiig the most distinct breaks of re-
cent ye.ars are the varieties Storling
Stint and Earl Spencer. In reality these
are Henry Eckford Spencers, and this,
I believe, would be a better name. Many
(■(dors we have today cannot be bet-
tered. The colors the hybridizers are
aiming for are a real buttercup yellow.
the scarlet of the geranium and the blue
of the Delphinium liell.adonna.

Tn the meantime the hybridizers
should concentrate their efforts upon
th(> improvement of the stock with ref-
erence to the size and substance of the
flower, number of flowers on a stem,
length of the stem and strength and
habit of the plant, and should aim to
produce an American breed of flowering
sweet peas that will stand our hot sum-
mers, so that not only in name, but in
fact, they will become the poor man's
orchid aiid the rival of that flower.

The Sportive Tendency.

Someone li.as said that this sporti\e
teiiilency ''is a lilessinj; in ilisynise,'"
;ind I believe it. .Most assuredly it has
.addetl zest to the fxrowiiii; of sweet jieas
<^enerail\- in recent years, for many en
thtisiasts in these d.ays are continually
on the lookout for new c(dor shades,
new color comhin.at ions and .-in ad<ii
tion.al ei;;lith of an iindi to the standard.
The tendency of the modern sweet pea
to throw sports has caused many eii
thuiasts to ol)serve moic clostdy for
color ;itnl other variations, ami thus li.as
.added materially to tlieir pleasures in
sweet jie.a jjrowiny;.

We hear sometimes the c.'irpiny critic,
liewailinj; the f.act that tiiere are too
many varieties, .and some liiis'e >;one so
far as to take the trouble of ])rep:nin<i
lists of too-miK-li'.ali ke varieties, btit we
must .alw.ays bear in miii<l tli.at each
color sidection fre(piently has (duir.ac-

indiienced by different soil or (dim.atic
conditions, so tli.at it btdiooves us to try
all varieties and hold on to those which
.answer our own individual purposes
best. l-'lorists everywhere find sweet
peas, Iiotli in the winter season .and
also when ijrown outdoors in summer,
always useful to cut from and never
out of pl;ice, and the newer Spencers,
with their larger and more wav v stand-
ards, lend themselves most yracefnlly
to all tlor.al .art. This t v pe also li.as

In Slimmer |propaj;;it ioii can be elVect
ed bv making; cuts. slaiitin<i ones are
best, six to twtdve inches from the
to|)S of ;iny of the shoots. The cuts
should be two to three iii<-lies lonj; .-irid
between eyes. Rub some fine cli;ircoal
in the cut and put in a line pointeij
stick, like a toothpiciv. to jirevent
its closinj,'. Then wrap a handful of
sphajiiuim or wood moss arouml the
cut. Tie it sectirtdy with raflia or soft
twine ;ind keep constMiitlv moist. The
tops sholllij be cut otV ami potteil as
soon as roots are seen pushin:^ tiirniioh

the leaves for a tiliie aitd spray I're

them in a close, moist house. Where
there .•ire l;ir^;e, bushy jilants at com-
mand, this is much the best method of
propagation, as if the moss is kei)t
moist no I'littin^s should fail to root.

.\ii(ither method of pro|>;iyat imi is from

NASTURTIUM NOTIONS.

Fine for Mantels and Windows.

Nasturtiums arranged in a bark or
moss-covered pan, fitted to the shelf,
make a good decoration for some of
the rough eto^e mantels often seen in
bungalows and country homes. Here,
as in the panels, long branches may
trail downward and a few may be
caught and fastened in an upright posi-
tion. Make one end of the pan a
heavy mass of the cut flowers and
scatter along .toward a lighter group,
with ferns, *t the other end.

Bank a mantel of mission finish with
plants or long branches, as in the pre-
ceding design, and train them liburally
over the mirror frame and the edge
of the glass, not encroaching on the
center. Or, if a wide shelf is met
with overhead, fill a second pan with
heavy trailers or plants and let them
shower over the lower pan. The same
kind of a pan may be fastened over
the top of a window with fine effect.

While almost any flower is happily
placed within the reflecting surface
of a mirror, it seems as though nastur-
tiums were made for mirrors. Even
in table decorations work in a mirror
in some way with them, if possible.

While low bark and twig baskets are
good appearing receptacles for nastur-
tiums, they are not practical unless sup-
plied with pans. Gourds would be good
for cut nasturtiums, with rustic sur-
roundings.

There are two main points in the use
of nasturtiums for decorative purposes
— first, to give them opportunities for
trailing or climbing, and second, the
massing of color, which should begin
with a heavy group of the deeper
colored flowers and should stretch away
to finer streaks and spots of color be-
fore it fades into the yellow green of

^^•5

the foliage. In a decoration which
contains no other flower but nastur-
tiums, a few odd pieces of green, ivory
or dark brown crockery may be em-
ployed for the flowers, but only a few.
An outdoor- "daylight wedding decora-
tion done in nasturtiums would be a
delightful departure. "Use a rustic sum-
mer house for a canopy and cover the
roof, inside and outside, with nastur-
tiums and nasturtiums. No suggobtions
would be necessary for this. They
would arrange themselves in. a network
at the back and sides, and come
fairly tumbling down the poles that
support the roof.

For Centerpieces.

Table centerpieces of nasturtiums
are just as easily thought out. For a
dainty luncheon or dinner piece erect
a 12-inch gilded rod at each end of
the table. Stretch Between these rods,
at convenient distances apart, iNile
green or orange yellow ribbon of No. 3
to No. 5 width. If the table is long, a
third or perhaps a fourth rod will be
needed along toward the center. In a
plateau of moss in which the rods are
erected, sink a few low vases and fill
these with long-stemmed nasturtium
flowers and green, with some branches.
Catch up the ribbon here and there and
tie it with dainty bows, in the fashion
of vines to a trellis. Cover the vases
with moss and decorate the rods with
trailers. Scatter foliage and flowers
out sparingly from the center line and
ends.

If the table is unusually wide, two
such slender lines of ribbon and rods
might be run its full length, with a
heavier massing of flowers between. Or,
for a large, square table, two cross lines
might be used. For a round table make
a square enclosure of the same style,
with rods at the comers, ribbon

stretched between tbe corners and the
whole center filled with a growing bed
of nasturtium plants, with extra flow-
ers added.

Screens and Backgrounds.

Gilded wire netting might be used
in place of the ribbons for the table
decoration. A large panel of gilded
netting, with nasturtium decorations,
might also be used in other decorative
features, as a screen for musicians, a
background for a reception or wedding
party, a dining-room screen or a corner
or window decoration for a store.

Nasturtium colors are good mixers
for themselves. There is a salmon pink
which jars slightly with the yellow and
orange in daylight, but one is safe with
most of the ordinary mixtures. How-
ever, there are delightfully fine lines of
color distinctions between the yellows
and creams. The oranges and creams,
the extremes of the colors, make the
softer harmonies, while the canary yel-
lows are a host of color effect all to
themselves. G. B.

A GK>OD ROADS WINDOW.

When the National Good Beads Asso-
ciation met in Birmingham, Ala., a few
weeks ago the Amzi Godden Seed Co.,
which not only runs a seed store, but
also does a large retail cut flower busi-
ness, took advantage of the opportunity
for a timely window display, which was
photographed, and the photograph is re-
produced herewith. While some arau-
carias and a few other items of the
florists' stock were used in the window,
it was principally a display for the seed
and implement departments. The "good
roads" divided fields of three kin£ of
grass. The one in front is fancy red
top about one inch high, while the one
at the right is timothy not more than
one and a half inches high. Where the
figure of the negro with the cultivator
is shown was radish about two inches
high. The attention attracted amply re-
paid for the effort.

NOTES ON HABDY PEEENNIALS.

Delphiniums.

What a glorious showing the del-
phiniums, or hardy larkspurs, as they
are commonly known, have just been
making in the hardy herbaceous bor-
ders! What a gap there would be in
the hardy garden were these stately
and beautiful plants removed! They
are so easily raised from seed and re-
spond so readily to good culture that
it is astonishing that more florists do
not grow them. The flowers are splen-
did for cutting and anyone who has a
few clumps or rows of them can easily

fet his money back with added interest
rom the sale of plants alone, for there
are increasing numbers of amateurs
who are growing hardy perennials, and
few plants other than delphiniums will
more quickly charm them and cause
them to purchase.

While good plants can be raised
from root division and cuttings, seed
sowing is the simplest method, as a
few packets of seed will give many
hundreds of plants. It is not yet too
late by any means to sow a good batch
of seed to secure plants for flowering
next year. Sow either outdoors or in
a coldframe under lath shades, where,
with an occasional watering, the seed-
lings will soon appear. Then trans-
plant to beds or nursery rows, allow-
ing six inches between the plants,
choosing always a cool or cloudy day
for the operation, when the soil is
moist. If kept well stirred among,
the plants will be quite strong before
autumn and should again be trans-
planted, allowing twelve inches be-
tween the plants, or, if preferred, they
can be closely set in coldframes over
winter and planted out in early spring.

D. Belladonna is one of the most
beautiful imaginable shades of blue
and an excellent grower withal. Cash-
merianum, pale blue; formosum, dark
blue with a white eye; formosum
ccelestinum, beautiful pale blue; King
of Delphiniums, deep blue, semi-double,
white eye; Queen Wilhelmina, soft
lavender, flushed with rose, and Amos
Perry, rosy mauve, flushed with sky
blue, semi-double, are splendid va-
rieties for anyone wishing for a boiled
down selection, but a packet of each of
dark and light blue seed from a reliable
seed house will give varieties equal in
quality to many of the best named ones.

In addition to the tall hybrid lark-
spurs, the Chinese larkspurs, D. Chinen-
sis, should not be overlooked. These
are dwarfer in habit and have much
finer cut foliage. They also bloom
much earlier from seed, flowering in
two or three months. These are pro-
curable in shades of deep gentian blue
and pure white and are among the most
easily grown and most beautiful of
perennials for cutting. There is the
scarlet delphinium, D. cardinale or D.
nudicaule, also a yellow one, D. Zalil,
sometimes called sulphureum, with sul-
phury-^How flowers, but neither of
these will be found of great commer-
cial value.

Delphiniums enjoy deep, rich soil,
well drained, and in such they make
really marvelous growth. As they are
somewhat brittle, it is best to s^ke.
them, as wind storms are liable to
damage them. ,11 cut down when the
first lot of flowers have faded, and fed
a little, they will send up quite a good
second crop in August. To secure a
really beautiful effect in the hardy gar-

Double Delphiniunu.

den, plant the dark or light blue del-
phiniums in association with Lilium
candidum. These flower together and
the effect is almost indescribably beau-
tiful.

Cut worms and white grubs, the
larvae of the May beetle, are fond of
delphiniums, the former in May and
early June and the latter later in the
season. The use of lime, gas lime and
soot in the soil will help to keep these
away. Some of the choice named va-
rieties if not transplanted every two
or three years are subject to blight;
otherwise delphiniums are among the
cleanest of all perennials. They also
have a future for forcing purposes. At
least one wide-awake Boston grower
had them in quantity in April this
year and had no trouble in disposing
of all he grew to the up-to-date retail
stores. There would seem to be an
opening in the way of hardy perennials
for increasing our variety of spring
flowers, the paucity of which our Eng-
lish visitors at the late S. A. F. na-
tional show commented upon. With
such flowers as double and single pyre-
thrums, phloxes like Miss Lingard,
peonies and delphiniums, all of which
would be welcome even a few weeks
ahead of their natural flowering time,
there would seem to be a field for
some bright, enterprising growers to
branch out into. W. N. Craig.

TBOUBLE WITH MAQOOTS.

In doing our summer propagating
in hotframes we have had consider-
able trouble with maggots. After the
cuttings have been in for a few days
the maggots burrow through the sand
in such quantities as to leave the sand
so loose that the cuttings almost turn
over. Can some one suggest something
that can be applied to the manure that

will destroy the maggots before the
sand is put in the bed! W. B.

Carbon bisulphide applied to the
manure before the cuttings are put
in will destroy the maggots and any
other larvae. It is often used in green-
house benches to destroy grubs and
worms, but in pots, pans or confined
spaces it will injure the plants, unless
used carefully. Bore holes in the
manure. After the holes are formed
pour a teaspoonful of carbon bisulphide
into each hole. Make the holes twelve
to eighteen inches apart and cover up
as soon as the liquid is poured in.
Don't smoke while using this chemical;
it is highly inflammable. C. W.

I.EAF MINEB ON BEGONIAS.

What is the trouble with my be-
gonia leaves, samples of which are en-
closed, and can you give me a remedy
for itt G. G.

The leaves were much shriveled, but
seemed to have been attacked by a leaf
miner. These little creatures work in-
side the leaves, almost skeletonizing
them. Spray with a rather strong nico-
tine solution. Keep this up and you
will gradually clean them out. Poisons
could be used, but they would disfig-
ure the foliage and probably burn
them at the same time, and they are
only of service if gotten on the leaves
before the miner tunnels into the in-
ner tissues of the leaves. Nicotine!
seems to soak into the tissues and kills
the miners working there. Dipping
the plants in nicotine water would be
effective if you have only a few plants
in pots. .^.^ C. W.

POOS GROWTH IN THE FIELD.

My carnation plants in the field have
not done at all well, owing to the dry
weather. Would it be a good plan to
take the plants ^ip, put them in the
houses and keep topping them till Au-
gust 15? Would that make them good
plants for winter? E. H. M.

One would have to see your plants to
know whether they would make good
plants by winter if benched at this
time. If they are merely a trifle under-
sized, and not making much growth
now, they would likely pick up by fall
if planted inside and encouraged along.

If, however, they have suffered from
drought ever since they were planted
out and have made no growth at all,
then I would not advise you to plant
them in. My experience has been that
it does not pay to house plants which
are much undersized, for blooming. By
the time the plants pick up enough
strength to produce high-grade blooms
the season is half gone and your profit
on the season's crop is gone. It would
be better to buy plants from some reli-
able source to plant your beds; they
will make you more than their cost and
give you much more satisfaction to
grow. A. F. J. B.

CHICKEN MANUBE IN BENCHES.

I have about twelve loads of old
chicken manure. Would it be suitable
for use in carnation beds? If so, in
what quantity? The soil is light and

Instead of mixing the chicken manure
with the soil, I would advise you to
save it for top-dressing your carnations
this winter. Mix it with about twice
its bulk of soil and let it lie until you
want to use it, but see that it does not
heat. Turning the pile occasionally will
prevent heating. When applying it, put
on a good, big handful to each row,
halfway across a o-foot bench.

PLANTS DROWNED OUT.

I should like to get as much informa-
tion as possible in regard to holding old
carnation plants over, as mine were
drowned out. My old stock is not first-
class, but I shall be obliged to keep a
considerable number of them. Can the
old stock be taken up and transplanted?

W, S.

I fear that in trying to carry over
your old carnation plants, with no
preparation before this date, you will
only invite disaster and disappoint-
ment. To carry over plants the second
season, they should be cut back for a
new start while the weather is yet
comparatively cool. To cut them back
hard now would kill most of the plants,
and to replant them without being cut
back would have about the same effect.
You could let them stand where they

are, merely mulching and watering
them through the summer, but you
would find by fall that you would have
a tangled mass of growth which would
be hard to handle. The blooms would
be infer-'or and few.

My advice to you would be to buy
what plants you need to fill your beds.
They will more than repay you the cost
before half the season is gone.

A. F. J. B.

SOIL DEFICIENT IN PHOSPHATE.

I have a rich, black loam soil here
and am preparing it for carnations.
There is not much sand in it and it is
lacking in phosphate. I am planning
that when I fill the bed I will apply a
half inch of sand and a light coat of
ground rock phosphate; also a peck of
lime to a bed 7x80. Do you think that
would be about right! E. P. M.

If you know that your soil is deficient
in phosphate, then your idea of adding
ground rock phosphate is correct, but
I doubt the wisdom of adding it at the

time of planting. I would suggest that
you turn over the compost heap, and
add the ground rock while you are
turning it. The sand could also be
added better at that time. The idea is
to get these materials thoroughly in-
corporated with the soil, else little
good will result therefrom.

Leave the lime out until your plants
are growing. Then you can tell by the
growth and strength of the stems
whether the soil is deficient in lime.

CARNATION POT PLANTS.

Years ago Uncle John Thorpe used
to argue that a splendid future as a
pot plant lay before the carnation. Not
many florists have worked along this
line, but Henry Eichholz, of Waynes-
boro, Pa., thinks there are few flower-
ing plants growing in pots that have
the many merits of his carnation Christ-
mas Cheer. It certainly has the popu-
lar Christmas color and as exhibited at
several S. A. F. conventions and nu-
merous flower shows it always has dem-
onstrated a freedom of bloom that left
little to be desired. Mr. Eichholz has
sent The Review two plants of Christ-
mas Cheer, as he says, "to show its
usefulness as a summer pot plant. ' '
The plants are in 5-inch pots and well
filled with bloom, some fifteen or twen-
ty flowers and many buds on each
plant. The growth stands two feet
above the pot.

I SEASONABLE
^-^^^^ SUGGESTIONS

W^<»^<*?».<#^<#^'<^^^?».<*^^*?>.<*?>.<^^<<^<^^.^*^.'^^<^^<^^<*^<#^;

Actaimenes.

Achimenes are invaluable summer
flowering plants, not so much known
as their merits would seem to deserve,
but to anyone who has a call for bloom-
ing plants in the hot months they are
extremely useful. Whether grown in
pots or pans, they should have a light,
neat stake to each stem before the
growths become twisted. If these
stakes are painted green, they will
never be noticed and they need not
be as high as the flowering stems. Keep
the plants in a house where they will
not get any direct sunshine, or the
foliage will soon be disfigured. Also
avoid spraying them overhead, except
it be with an occasional nicotine so-
lution to keep thrips in check. As the
pots get filled with roots, feed them
twice a week with weak cow manure
water. Never allow the plants to be-
come dry, or you will ruin them for
the season.

Tuberous Begonias.

Probably none of the greenhouse
bulbous plants blooming in summer is
as showy and lasting as the tuberous-
rooted begonia. Immense advances
have been made in the strains of these
of late years, so that new flowers five
to six inches across excite no comment
at all. To grow these well the plants
want a light, airy house, not heavily
shaded. If the glass is too thickly ob-

scured with whitewash, the growths will
become drawn and the plants will lack
the stocky habit which should be char-
acteristic of them. Spring seedlings
should now be in 4-inch or 5-inch pots
and, in order to get them strong, it
is as well to pinch off the flowers for
a while and shift them into 6-inch and
7-inch pots before flowering them. Old-
er tubers succeed best in 8-inch pots.
In smaller sizes they do fairly well,
but the best we have are always in the
larger sizes, and some short but mod-
erately stout stakes should be placed
to support the easily broken flowering
stems.

Thrips are the bane of begonias and
all other summer flowering bulbous
plants of this character and either fu-
migation or spraying must be strictly
attended to, or they will be ruined. If
a greenhouse is not at command, splen-
did plants can be grown in cold-
frames, the sashes being shaded to
break the sun 's direct rays. Begonias
like a rich but porous soil and should
not be potted too firmly. They enjoy
fairly strong liquid manure twice a
week when flowering.

Mignonette.

It is yet too early to make a sow-
ing of mignonette under glass, but the
benches can be filled with soil when
opportunity occurs and it will do no
harm to let a crop of the inevitable

weeds occur and be destroyed before
the seed is sown. If you did not save
some specially good seed yourself,
purchase a good strain now.

The present is a good time to make
an outdoor sowing of mignonette for
fall flowering. Outdoor mignonette
never produces such spikes as we get
under glass in late winter, but it comes
in serviceable to the average country
florist who has a constant call for flow-
ers, and scented flowers like mignonette
are always popular. Give a rich piece
of ground and do not sow the seeds
thickly.

Transplanting Perennials.

Take the opportunity on cool, cloudy
days, when the ground is moist, to trans-
plant hardy perennials and biennials.
Be sure that the roots are moist when
transplanted and firm them well. If an
early rain seems improbable, a few cans
of water applied carefully will give the
little plants a start, but the surface
soil should be well loosened about them
later with hoe or cultivator. It is some-
times necessary to transplant when soil
and atmospheric conditions are not ideal.
When this is so," dip the roots of the
seedlings in clay and water, or any other
soil will answer to make a puddle. The
loss from seedlings thus treated will be
trifling compared with other's which
were undipped.

Propagation.

In summer, while the propagating
house is often untenanted, is a suitable
time to increase the stock of show pel-
argoniums. English ivy, variegated
vinca, crotons, dracsnas, pandanus and
dieflfenbachias. A number of deciduous
flowering shrubs which root freely from
half ripened wood, including such va-
rieties as syringas, deutzias, ligustrums,
lonieeras, spirteas and many others, can
be propagated in this waj'; also gar-
denias, allamandas, abelias, oleanders,
begonias, such as Gloire de Lorraine and
other fibrous rooted sorts, hydrangeas,
fuchsias, etc. Greater care is needed,
of course, in July than in .January. A
close, moist atmosphere, with frequent
sprayings overhead, is necessary for the

bulk of the plants named, and of course
the shade must be heavier than in late
winter or early spring. Greater vigi-
lance is also necessary after the plants
are potted. A dozen times a day they
may need a light spraying to keep them
fresh on hot days. Then again, if it is
dull, they may not need any moisture at
all.

Compost Piles.

There will now be a constant' drain
on the compost pile, and no matter how
big and imposing it may look in early
spring, it usually shrinks to small pro-
portions before fall potting is done.
With the pressure of other duties there
is a likelihood of the compost heaps
being somewhat neglected, in that they
are allowed to become overgrown with
rank weeds, which will soon eat away
much of their richness. Keep the com-
post pile clean and you will find it to
be money well invested.

Outdoor Work.

Apart from the necessary emptying
and refilling of benches preparatory to
planting various winter crops, the out-
door department will now require con-
siderable attention. The carnations and
violets can hardly be overciiltivated and
a hand weeding once a fortnight is also
necessary. Asters and other annuals
will soon suffer if the ground is allowed
to bake about them. After every rain
stir up the soil as soon as possible, to
conserve the moisture. Even if it does
not rain for a month, it is indeed sur-
prising what persistent tickling of the
surface will accomplish. The more the
soil is stirred, the faster the plants seem
to grow.

BOSES AT BAGATELLE QABDENS.

Readers of The Review are familiar
with the annual trials of new roses that
are held at the Bagatelle Gardens in
Paris and will be interested in the re-
sults this season, especially as E. G.
Hill Co. was again a winner:

"The judging of these took place
June 14, under conditions that were as
favorable, as could be expected, consid-

ering the long spell of dry, hot weather
that has prevailed. The varieties of'
1910, seventy-seven in number, came
first under review, and two gold medals
were awarded, one to Beaute de Lyon
(Pernet-Ducher), and the other to Jonk-
heer J. L. Mock (Leenders). The first-
named belongs to Mr. Pernet-Ducher 's
series of hybrid briars. .Tonkheer J. L.
Mock is a hybrid tea with large, well
formed red and pink flowers. In addi-
tion to the medals, three Certificates of
Bagatelle were awarded as follows, in
the order stated: Viscountess Enfield
(Pernet-Ducher), salmon-rose, in the
way of Lyon rose; May' Millers (E. G.
Hill Co.), a salmon flesh hybrid tea,
and William Speed, one of Messrs. Dick-
son 's hybrid teas. An extra certificate
was awarded to the climbing Wichur-
aiana Desire Borgera (Barbier)."

THE TACOMA BOSE SHOW.

The first annual show of the Tacoma
Rose Society was opened in the state
armory Friday afternoon, June 23.
Everything was in readiness at 2
o'clock and over .3,000 vases of the
finest roses, comprising about 2,000 sep-
arate entries and showing 1.50 varieties,
were on exhibition.

The armory was decorated by the
Jlorists' Club after the general plan
suggested by E. R. Roberts. A 20-foot
circle of tropical plants in the center
screened the orchestra from view.
Around this, and filling the main floor
space, the rose exhibits of the ama-
teurs were arranged, while the displays
of the local florists occupied all the
.space under the balconies.

.\mong those exhibiting in the latter
class were: The Smith Floral Co.,
Northwestern Floral Co., Mrs. M. E.

FANCY CALADIUMS.

In the summer months, when flower
ing plants are not overabundant, the
fancy-leaved caladiums are useful for
decorative purposes. There are such a
variety of beautiful colorings in the
leaves that it is a wonder they are not
more cultivated. For some reason
there appears to be a decline in the
popularity of colored-leaved plants,
both here and in Europe. At the recent
Temple show in London, where cala-
diums used to be a star feature, only
one group was this year shown. Prob-
ably, as in the case of many other
plants, this is merely a temporary, re-
action and a few years hence thoir
popularity will be reasserted. These
caladiums need some shade, but it
should not be heavy if the fine color-
ings of the leaves are to be seen at
their best. They rather enjoy a close,
moist atmosphere, but stand dry con-
ditions well. A§ the roots fill the pots,
liquid manure twice a week will be of
great benefit. As subtropical bedding
plants, these caladiums are little used
in the north, but even there they make
a good growth outdoors, especially if
used as a groundwork below taller
plants, which will throw them a little
shade, and if the beds are occasionally
soaked with water. However, entirely
apart from bedding purposes, they are
among our most valuable summer deco-
rative plants.

Many fail to carry them successfully
through the winter. The roots want
a warm, dry place, with a minimum
temperature of 55 to 60 degrees, and
if laid on their sides after the foliage
has died down, where they are out of
the reach of moisture, there should be
few losses.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Extreme dullness now rules in the
flower market. June business was gen-
erally admitted to be the best in a num-
ber of years, but with the advent of
July and the passing of weddings, grad-
uations, college commencements, etc.,
all life has gone and there is likely to
be little doing until September.

Sweet peas continue to sell as well
as anything, and the best still bring
75 cents and $1 per hundred. The out-

mer rose and sells well. Carnot also is
in demand.

Gladioli are overabundant. America
is the most popular variety. Bachelor's
buttons and sweet sultan are small
flowers which are in fair demand, also
swainsonas. There is little call for val-
ley, lilies or callas and absolutely none
for such flowers as snapdragon, fever-
few, stocks, etc.

For asparagus the demartd has :(alle|l
off, and the call is light for adiantund.'
Early closing of the wholesale markets
and commission houses went into effect
July 1.

Various Notes.

A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., is
sending some fine shipments of Rose
Prince de Bulgarie to a number of the
leading retailers, and it has become ex-
tremely popular.

F. H. Houghton closed his Boylston
street store June 30 and will locate
elsewhere on or about October 1.

Noted in H. R. Comley's window on
Park street last week were Agapanthus
unbellatus, clivias, Shasta Daisy King
Edward VII and miltonias.

Montrose Greenhouses still are cut-
ting some fine Killarney and White Kil-
larney, Richmond and Ward. The Kil-
larney are of a splendid color.

Mann Bros, have this season had a
fine lot of Iris Anglica. This iris fol-
lows Hispanica and should be more
largely grown. They have an abund-
ance of gypsophila, coreopsis, rambler
roses and other seasonable flowers.

P. J. Donahoe, the popular manager
for the Boston Rose Co., and Miss Buck-
ley, of Rpxbury, were married June 28.
The honeymoon is being spent in New
York and vicinity. Their many friends
remembered them well with gifts and
wish them many long years of wedded
bliss.

Julius H. Zinn's window was prettily
arranged July 1, with blue cornflowers,
hardy delphiniums and ferns, with a
t.nnk of white nymphaeas in the center.

N. F. Comley is giving up the green-
houses he has been hiring in Bed-
ford and in which he grew 50,000 car-
nations and quantities of vegetables
last season. In future he will concen-
trate all his energies on his Lexington
plant.

door crop of these is not especially good
and those who have first-class peas are
in luck. Carnations are small and the
number going to the rubbish barrels is
on the increase. Colored varieties, espe-
cially red, are almost unsalable. Roses
are good for the season. Beauty, Kil-
larney, Maryland, Chatenay, Ward and
Richmond are excellent. Prince de Bul-
garie has jumped into favor as a sum-

friends, took the 2:30 p. m. boat for
Nahant July 1 and played the Roland
aggregation. The weather was ideal
and everyone enjoyed the sail, the game
and the other good things.

H. M. Johnson, oi Lynn, a compara-
tively new grower, is having grand suc-
cess outdoors with Spencer sweet peas,
which he has been marketing for sev-
eral weeks.

Julius Heurlin, of the Blue Hill Nur-
series, South Braintree, is away on his
annual European trip and witnessed the
coronation procession in London, June
22.

Herbert Capers, at the Boston Co-op-
erative Market, is handling fine outdoor
sweet peas from the Halifax Garden
Co. and still receives excellent Bouvar-
dia Humboldtii.

At Carbone's store on Boylston street
Rose Prince de Bulgarie is in great re-
quest. I noted among other flowers the
pretty lavender-blue Trachelium cserlis-
leum, also Gladiolus nanus in variety,
including the white Mathilda. Business
in Italian ware continues good. Mr.
Carbone is at present in Europe select-
ing goods for the coming season and
will not return until October 1.

S. J. Goddard is busy throwing out
his carnations and preparing to get his
new stock, which looks well, planted as
soon as possible. He is still cutting
some extra fine flowers.

Caledonia Grove, West Roxbury,
where the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club picnic will be held, will undoubt-
edly bring out the largest crowd ever
seen at a club picnic. Many offers of
special prizes have been received and
the program will soon be ready.

The various seed stores started early
closing on Saturdays, July 1. Business
held up well all through June and em-
ployees will be glad of some respite.

A. S. McDonald and Edward Wood,
of Lexington, have a fine line of cut
rambler roses at 2 Park street at pres-
ent. Mr. Wood's sweet peas are also
extra good.

H. W. Vose, of Hyde Park, J. W.
Simpson, of Woburn, and Wm. Patter-
son, of Wollaston, have had a fine cut
of Canterbury bells of late. The single
pink finds most favor, next to that,
white and lavender. The hose-in-hose
variety sells more slowly, and no one
wants the doubles at all.

Patrick Welch is enjoying the ocean
breezes at Old Orchard, Me., but we
think he will emerge from there and
be heard from at the Baltimore con-
vention.

Arnold & Petros keep their store win-
dow attractive even in the present hot
weather, using ferns, crotons and a
variety of green foliage plants, with
only occasional vases of light-colored
flowers.

J. Newman & Son, on Tremont street,
have had a fine June business. Their
window never looks the same on two
successive days; always something new
to see. W. N. Craig.

NEW YOBK.

Tbe Market.

The inevitable July slump in prices
arrived on schedule time. After an ex-
cellent week, consequent upon innumer-
able school commencements and the nu-
merous late June weddings, the bottom
dropped out Saturday, July 1, and a
patient acceptance of the midsummer
condition of the market was every-
where manifest.

Little good stock of any kind is ar-
riving and the small amount that came
in last week was quickly absorbed at
excellent prices. The most of the rose
stock now is short-stemmed and color-
less. A few selected Beauties brought
30 cents, but the balance go at almost
any quotation. Of the other roses, Mary-
land seems now to be the favorite, and
3 to 4 cents will be top this week for
the best of the tea roses — a depression
of fifty per cent from a week ago.

Carnations are seldom high grade.
Most of the stock arriving is weary
and needs no urging to go to sleep;
$1.50 per hundred is the acknowledged
top at present for the best of them.
There is a great abundance of outdoor
stock, including ofut spiraeas, hydrangeas,
iris and gladioli. The latter sells at
from $1 per dozen down, mostly down.

Lilies do not go above 4 cents and
2 cents to 3 cents is the prevailing
price. The New York market has been
flooded with them since Easter. Valley
sold well, at good prices, all through
June.

Last week was sweet pea week in
other cities than Philadelphia. In New
York the demand was persistent, and
many of the baskets for the graduates
were made of them. Prices held firm
until Saturday. Orchids are not so
abundant and for selected flowers 60
cents to 75 cents was at times obtain-
able. Gardenias are quite abundant,
with prices low. The street men handle
large quantities of sweet peas and car-
nations.

Club Picnic.

The annual outing of the New York
Florists' Club, Wednesday, June 28, was
the usual success, the committee an-
nouncing a balance in the treasury.
Nearly 300 attended, a good crowd,
considering the intense heat and the
early date. The general belief is that
it will be best to postpone these an-
nual reunions of the club until the mid-
dle of July.

This was the New York Florist's
Club's eleventh celebration. The mu-
sic was modern and abundant, the
games well contested, and several hun-
dred dollars was distributed in prizes.

The committee worked harmoniously
and indefatigably, and deserves much
commendation. President Nugent made
the welcoming address. The start was
made an hour earlier than usual, and a
long sail up the sound, nearly to Glen
Island, was greatly enjoyed. Refresh-
ments on the boat were varied and
abundant. Boxes of candy were pro-
vided for the ladies and children, and
the young folks tripped the light fan-
tastic. The return trip was ended
at 9:30 p. m. and no accident marred
the universal happiness and good fel-
lowship of the occasion.

Chairman Fenrich, of the outing com-
mittee, was unable to attend because of
jury duty, but Messrs. Young, Scott,
Chadwick, Schultz, Donaldson, Kessler

and Langjahr did themselves great
credit by the careful attention to detail
and the fulfillment of all promises, in-
cluding many novel features in contests
and comfort.

The dinners were up to the Wetzel
standard and the supply was unstinted.
Every lady and gentleman present took
part in the bowling matches.

The number of handsome ladies pres-
ent made the division difficult for the
beauty committee, but when the vener-
able little Mrs. Mary A. Holt carried
oflf the honors, every lady present
agreed with the committee. The four
babies under two were all beautiful
and each received a special prize. The
president distributed the prizes in the
pavilion at the close of the dinner,
thereby avoiding the usual confusion on
the return trip of the boat, as in other
years.

Some families carried away enough
money in prizes to pay their expenses
several times over.

The ball game was not a howling suc-
cess and sadly lacked prearrangement.

Long races should be eliminated — a
quarter-mile stunt is too far with the
thermometer at 100 degrees in the sun?
In the ladies' races there were a few
tumbles, but no casualties. In the spe-
cial race between Scott and Miesem,
Scott "bit the dust."

The fat men's race was dry, with
Traendly and Nugent "retired."

Various Notes.

The early closing movement is on,
and most of the wholesale houses will
close during July and August at 4 or
5 p. m.

The Greek florists will combine with
their brethren in the candy and other
trades and expect a crowd of 750 peo-
ple at their outing, Thursday, July 6.

The Horticultural Society of New
York held its regular monthly exhibi-
tion at Bronx Park, last Saturday and
Sunday. The extreme heat interfered
with the attendance, but the display
was fully up to the high standard of
this society's exhibitions. The weekly
Saturday lectures draw better audi-
ences than last season.

Arthur Hunt, of A. H. Langjahr 's, is,
spending his vacation at the Plaza San-
itarium, in this city, where he has un-
dergone a serious operation.

The holiday season has begun in
earnest and many of the employees in
the wholesale section are away. The an-
nual improvement in the stores has also
begun and everything will be shipshape
by September 1.

J. K. Allen has been handling large
quantities of cut hydrangeas. He will
spend his summer vacation at Oxford,
N. Y. Miss Smedley, the bookkeeper,
leaves July 8 for a two weeks' holi-
day in the mountains.

Walter Siebrecht and Mrs. Siebrecht
are enjoying their outing in the
Catskills.

The Geller Florists' Supply Co. has
added another store to its conveniences.
It is close to the old quarters, which
will be used for storage. The fit-
tings are the work of the Forster Mans-
field Co. Mr. Geller and family have
moved to their country home on Long
Island for the summer.

The plant market is closed at Fifty-
ninth street. Mr. Birnie considers the
sanitation bad there for man, beast and
plants, and is not enthusiastic as to its
continuance in that locality. There are
too many restrictions, too much red tape

and politics and too little appreciation
of those who alone can make the mar-
ket a permanent success.

Kussin & Hanfling are enlarging the
front of their store on West Twenty-
eighth street. Mr. Hanfiing is now in
Europe making the firm's annual pur-
chases.

The agitation in behalf of a parcels
post has had a wide effect, resulting in
a revolutionary reduction in express
rates, amounting in some cases to fifty
per cent. The new tariff goes into ef-
fect August 1.

One o'clock is the general Saturday
closing hour for all the seed houses in
the city.

July 23 is the date fixed for the fish-
ing excursion of the employees of the
wholesale cut flower houses. The man-
agers are Robert Jackson and Harry
Riechers.

The stork paid its fifth visit last
week to Phil Kessler, of Woodside.

The monthly meeting of the New
York and New Jersey Plant Growers*
Association was held Wednesday, July
5, at which time final arrangements
for the annual outing were to be com-
pleted.

Mrs. Frank McMahon, wife of the
rose grower, died June 28, after an
operation.

John Weiler and Miss Elizabeth Eeib
were married July 1.

Bowling.

Rutherford sent seven of its crack
bowlers over to New York Friday even-
ing and the match — two games — ^result-
ed .as usual. New York wins every-
thing it tries, and expects to stand high
at Baltimore.

licsults bring advertising.
The Keview brings results.

Charge enough to make it possible to
give the best service you are capable of
furnishing.

When you telegraph an order add the
code word "Transmit," which means
' ' Mentioned in your advertisement in the
Florists ' Review. ' '

Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.

An advertiser not given to the use of
slang in affairs of business is offering
Melody as "the Ultima Thule in roses."
If that occurs to you as being "the
limit" you will be sure of it after con-
sulting Webster.

The weather has been unusually hot all
over the middle west in the last few days,
reducing the volume of business to the
lowest level. Ordinarily, this week is
about the dullest of the year, even with
normal weather, for firecrackers and flow-
ers never did go well together; when
people are buying one they neglect the
other. The demand should now improve
rather than retrograde.

THE WEATHER.

Statement July 4 by the weather
chief in Washington:

* ' The present hot wave is more exten-
sive and more intense than any in our
records. It affects almost all of the
Mississippi valley and the east. '

"There is no immediate relief in
sight. The hot wave is caused by an
abnormally high barometric pressure
over the Atlantic ocean. This condition
has existed since June 13.

"Nothing like it in intensity has
been known to meteorological science in
the experience of the students of this
generation. ' '

NOT UKE SOME OTHERS.

The Florists' Hail Association, dur-
ing its entire lifetime, has paid losses
promptly. Not everyone is sufficiently
appreciative to write the officers in
thanks, but whenever one does so it
serves to lighten the labors of the day.
The following letter, addressed to Jo-
seph Heacock, treasurer, is sent in by
Secretary Esler:

We desire very much to thank you for your
prompt settlement and courteous treatment in
adjusting the loss Incurred by us during a recent
hall storm at this place. It was that prompt
attention not common to Insurance companies. —
Kemble Floral Co., per Arthur H. Smith, Boone,
la., June 24, 1911.

IN FAVOR OF FATHERS' DAY.

Please put me down as heartily in
favor of pushing for a Fathers' day on
the second Sunday in November. Not
only do I favor the celebration of such
a day, but I am in favor of that par-
ticular date, as it comes just six months
after Mothers' day and it would also
help wonderfully in this Colorado town
in opening up our fall business. In
our territory everyone is slow in taking
hold of the greenhouse flowers at that

time of year. If we could get the
newspapers aroused to encourage it
and could secure the appointment of
that day as Fathers' day, with the
chrysanthemum as the flower, it would
give our business a start in the fall
and our customers would wake up at
once to the fact that the frost had
not done away with all the flowers and
good cheer, L. J. Keid.

E:SPRESS RATES.

July 1 brought two important an-
nouncements with regard to express
transportation, a vitally important
factor in the JJorists' business. In the
first place, the Interstate Commerce!
Commission announced that it will make
a thorough investigation of all matters
relating to the express business, and
those who have given the subject any
study feel sure this can not but bring
out facts that will lead to changes in
favor of the shippers. At the same
time the companies announced that Au-
gust 1 they will do away with the dou-
ble graduation of express rates between
exclusive points and put in effect in-
stead the single graduation, which has
always been in effect between common
points. The change will take place on
the lines of all the companies with the
exception of the Long Island railroad.
An example of how other rates will
be changed is, where a shipper was
charged $1 for shipping a package
which has to travel over two companies,
the charge will be but 85 cents.

CHICAGO.

Tbe dreat Central Market.

The week of July 4 usually is named
as the dullest of the year, and this
time the week has the added handicap
of excessive heat. With such weather
as has prevailed since June 30 it is a
wonder that there is any business at
all, or any stock. But, on the contrary,
there has been, on most days, a quite
fair demand. It has come principally
from out of town, and the orders have
not been large, but it has served to
show that the ice men are not now the
only ones who can do business in sum-
mer— good flowers now sell every day
in the year in this market.

The heat has been so excessive that
it is not strange that flowers average
poorer than they have in years — the
wonder is that there are any good flow-
ers at all. The first days of July again
broke the heat records, Sunday was
the hottest July 2 in the history of the
weather bureau, and July 3, 4 and 5
were worse. Coming after such a six
weeks as we have had since the first hot
wave in May, the effect was to about
finish off the carnations and still further
decrease the size of the roses. There
are so few really first-class carnations
that there has been an advance in the
price of the best. The first asters ap-
peared with the hot wave, however, and
it will not be long before the carna-
tions can be spared.

Beauties continue in good supply, but
the cut is nearly all long-stemmed; buy-
ers who need medium or short Beau-
ties would better order early in the
day, or they stand little chance. Of
course the quality is not up to what it
is in cool weather, but it is remarkably
good when one considers the temperature
in the greenhouses. The same can be
said of the other roses. The Killarney

Long-stemmed Fancy

KILLARNEYS

FINEST ROSES YOU CAN FIND M SONNER

We are handling a large cut of Killameys grown especially for the summer crop. Most of them run
to medium and long stems, and you know that the longer the stem the larger and finer the flower is.
The Pink Killameys have the best color we ever have seen on summer roses. If you are not using
these roses, order some at once — you will find they are better than any others you may be using, and
that will make you a steady customer.

tae really better than one would ex-
pect to be able to get after the mer-
cury in the thermometers had been boil-
ing over intermittently for six weeks
or more. The greatest trouble is to find
roses that have enough stem. The great-
er part of the receipts are short, small
and open. A few fine Kaiscrin are seen,
but the variety has been discarded by
most of the growers, they being willing
to put their dependence in White Kil-
larney. The shipping orders almost all
call for roses, as they are the best flow-
ers now to be had.

Gladioli are in increased supply and
a few auratums have arrived to rein-
force the Easter lilies. In the last few
days these have begun to sell much bet-
ter, for the heat seems to have no effect
on their quality. Valley is abundant;
the weddings are over. Sweet peas are
about down and out because of the heat ;
such as are holding up are selling well.
Cattleyas are not overabundant. There
are quantities of field daisies and also
some fine Shastas.

Greens are in fair supply and are
selling as well as could be expected at
a season of the year when a large part
of the demand is, of course, for funeral
flowers.

Jane Weather.

The month of June, 1911, was the
warmest June of oflScial record in Chi-
cago. Two decidedly warm periods
marked the month — June 1 to 11 and
June 19 to 26 — during which time maxi-
mum temperatures of 90 di-grees or
higher were recorded on six days. The
rainfall was deficient by nearly one-
third of the normal amount, and about
four-fifths of it occurred during the last
half of the month. Sunshine was con-
siderably in excess of the normal,
amounting to seventy-nine per cent of
the possible.

July started with another heat wave,
in which the mean temperature ran for
several days nearly 20 degrees above
normal.

June Business.

, The business for June was a disap-
pointment, all because of the weather.
The first part of the month there was
a flood of stock, and the latter part of
the month correspondingly little. All

through the month the quality of the
greater part of the supply was poor,
-because of the heat. Early in the
month prices averaged as low a return
as flowers ever have made in this mar-
ket, and later the supply was so light
that the better prices made no con-
siderable sum of money, so that on the
whole June does not compare favor-
ably with the month last year, when
June was especially good. The year's
increase in glass was reflected in the
production of flowers, but not in the
money received, but practically every-
one believes the outcome was due solely
to the heat and that with normal
weather conditions business will be bet-
ter than ever.

H. N. Bruns expects to rebuild his

the most up-to-date arrangements in the

Two big signs on front and rear of

■wholesale house of the Chicago Flower
Growers ' Association.

Work is progressing rapidly at Frank
Oechslin's new range and he expects to
have the houses entirely planted before
August 1. The improvements include a
new and larger office that is being par-

trip through southern Illinois and Mis-
souri, for a stay of ten days.

Peter Eeinberg is beginning to get
a few flowers on the new varieties of
roses he planted this season: Double
Pink Killarney, Melody and Mrs. Ward.

Work on E. F. Winterson's new resi-
dence has been delayed and now is at
a complete standstill because of the
jurisdictional conflict between the
plumbers and steamfitters that has made
BO much troble for disinterested parties
the last six months.

Emil Buettner is cutting some excep-
tionally fine Killarneys this summer.
The Eandall Co. wishes there were many
more of them.

Weiland & Eisch finished their busi-
ness year June 30. Peter Eisch says
it was good enough so that if they
never see a worse he will be entirely
satisfied.

Gus Alles, of Wietor Bros., says some
of the White Killarney are as pure in
color as anyone could wish, while the
flowers from other houses would almost
pass for pink.

Miss Minnie Wattman, treasurer of
the E. C. Amling Co., returned last week

some good summer roses, which find
ready sale; the same can be said of
sweet peas, which are not overabundant.
This market is being well supplied with
lilies, which seem to have struck it
just right. During the last fortnight
there was a good demand for Beauties,
and the supply was up to the demand.
The supply of gaillardias, Shasta
daisies, coreopsis and other outdoor cut

by the giving out of some of the indoor

The Bising Eastern Market.

Business is at the low water mark.
There is some local demand and a fair
amount of shipping, with only a mod-
erate supply of good flowers. The heat
has been fearful and with the glorious
Fourth, our one real holiday of the
- year, has retarded business. Easter
lilies are good and extremely plentiful
— too plentiful for the demand — and
prices are low. Valley and Beauties
have sold fairly well on some days; also
good Maryland and Kaiserin. Cattleyas
are rather dull. Nice Shasta daisies are
to be seen. Sweet peas are abundant.
There are some presentable carnations.
The market is burdened with poor roses.
A few asters have appeared. Dagger
ferns are most active among the greens.
Water lilies have but moderate support
from the buyers.

Horticultural Hall.

The Glorious Fourth found the plant-
ing complete at the east end and in the
parterre, a big piece of work success-
fully accomplished. Oglesby B. Paul
will tell you that it will be another
month before the effect of the winter's
plans, so carefully^made in the office,
can be judged. Xavia E. Schmidt will
tell you that the plants are not all he
would like them to be; the immense
quantity that he was obliged to pre-
pare in a certain time, and with a lim-
ited force at his disposal, interfered
with their quality, but they are there
and growing, and in a little while all
else will be forgotten. The impression
given by the changes, unfortunately
unassisted by expert guidance, is that
.there have been modifications rather
than changes. Bolder effects have been
attempted on the parterre. Groups of
cannas, alternating with variegated
agaves, form the circles from which the
festoons are hung. The festoons them-
selves have departed from the light
coloring that has prevailed during the
last few seasons. They are formed of
dark varieties of alternantheras, with
an occasional lighter band. The circles
in the center of the parterre are filled
with solid colors, with here and there a

MELODY

In selling this rose early in the season we did not recommend it as
a summer bloomer, our feeling being that it was an unusually good
winter forcer. Now after a month or more of hot weather we find it a
splendid summer rose, holding its color and form in fine shape. As a
cut flower it has been and is selling extra well and at present we are
often unable to take care of all orders that come in to us. Unquestion-
ably we recommend it as the very finest yellow rose and one of the
best money makers on the market. For a grower retailing his own cut
flowers it hasn't an equal in the rose line today.

Own root plants, 2X-inch pots, $30.00 per 100; $250.00 per 1000.

DOUBLE PINK KILLARNEY. It has no equal commercially. Own root, 2%-inch, $20.00
per 100; $150.00 per 1000. Grafted, 2X-inch, $30.00 per 100; $250.00 per 1000.

PRINCE DE BULGARIE. Entirely different from any rose grown. Own root, 2X-inch, $15.00

For instance, W. N. Craig will call J.

at 4:15 p. m. a biplane was hovering
over the Olympic as she swept toward

Unfortunately, it missed the Olympic's

CREPE FLOWERS

Now that good flowers are scarce in the wholesale markets, you will find Crepe Flowers are a great
addition to your stock. They are perfect reproductions of natural flowers — very showy and make up
beautifully. We recommend them to you as a profitable investment for the summer months.

CREPE ROSES in all colors, lifelike in their colors and in form. They are admirable in every respect.

CREPE SWEET PEAS— possess that fairy-like charm and variety of color that make them fashion-favored flowers.

CREPE ORCHIDS. The rich, tropical effect of the orchid is reproduced with startling fidelity.

CREPE WISTARIA— afford a grace and color not found in any other flower. The clusters are extremely effective.

For OREEN, use PREPARED ADIANTUM FRONDS. They are perfect and they are durable.

The Market.

Pink ramblers, sweet peas and Lilium
candidum are the favorites this week.
Of course there are the same old reli-
ables, such as carnations and roses, but
since July is here, the tastes of patrons,
as a rule, run to things that are sum-
mery and that is what the above-men-
tioned are. There are some splendid
Crimson Ramblers on the market now,
but Dorothy Perkins is the best seller
and has the best blooms.

English iris is selling fairly well now,
but peonies have gone for another year.
Lilium candidum takes the place of L.
Harrisii at present and makes nice fu-
neral bunches. Carnot roses are plen-
tiful, but not especially good. Lilies of
the valley are somewhat scarce, but the
price remains the same as during the
spring. Cattleyas are scarce and bring
75 cents each, retail.

Garden flowers find favor with flower
buyers during June and July; however.

they sell at a low figure most of the

time. .

American Beauties are holding their
own wonderfully well for so late in the
season, and the price is still firm, but
Maryland, Killarney and Radiance can
be bought for little money these days.
Carnations are away down in price.
Smilax is scarce and Asparagus plum-
osus and Sprengeri are not especially
good. Adiantum is fairly good, but
there is little or no demand for it "at
present. Gardenias are scarce and de-
mand a fancy price, while garden roses
are about finished.

Strange to say, the trade in bedding
plants is not yet supplied. Orders come
in daily for seedlings of all kinds, also
geraniums, salvias, cannas, caladiums,
Boston ivy, etc. Veranda and window
boxes and vases are still being filled,
and there is an occasional inquiry about
transplanting rose bushes.

Trade in general is quieting down;
people are leaving for the country and
things would seem dull if it were not
for the Shriners' convention, to be h&ld
here next week. That event will no
doubt liven trade up somewhat.

Heroes a Nighty Fine Opportanity for a
good man who knows the Nursery Busi-
ness, or a linn that wants a branch house

I own one of the best greenhouse
and nursery plants in the country—
50,000 feet of glass is now in carnations
and 130 acres in general nursery stock.
I am a banker, a mighty busy man,
and cannot give this enterprise the at-
tention it deserves. A reliable nursery
firm or a competent man who possesses
good business ability will be sold a half
interest at a fair price and on reason-
able terms. It is desirable— but not
absolutely necessary— that such a man
should have a knowledge of greenhouse
management, and a married man is
preferable. This locality is unexcelled
for growing many kinds of nursery
stock, and I beheve it is an opportun-
ity for a nursery firm or a capable
man to establish a splendid business.
If you feel that you are the type of a
partner I am looking for, and can
invest from $15,C00 to $20,000, write
to me at once.

and a truck farm on the place. With the proper
man I will enter Into a partnership arrangement
whereby I will famish him. free, a new flve-room
cottage on the place and all tbe land needed for a
large floral baslness and truck farm -as much as he
will undertake to work. The place Is already
equipped with a greenhoase 25x60 feet, having ven-
tilators operated by turning wheels and heated by
Hltohlngs hot water system. The beater is large
enough to heat a greenhouse twice the size of the
present one. There is a second greenhouse 14x40
feet, partly under ground and needing little heat.
In addition to tbe greenhouses there Is a large quan-
tity of sash and glass for propagating beds.

Ablogdon Place is partly within the city limits of
Huntsvllle, Alabama, and three-quarters of a mile
from the center of the city, with boulevard and
paved sidt-walks all the way In. Huntsvllle haa a
popuUition of between twenty and twenty-five
thousand, located on the .Southern R. R. and Nash-
ville, Ohattanooga& St. Louis Railway, and besides
being a splendid local market, with practically no
competition. Is so close to, and has such fine rail-
road faclUtlea, that the markets of Memphis, Naab-
ville and Chattanooga, Tenn., Birmingham, Ala.,
and Atlanta.Oa , are all open to this bnsiness. Have
already been offered contract to raise doable vlolete
for one of the largest greenhouses in tbe south.
Huntsvllle is both a Hummer and winter resort for
northern people and Is known as the healthiest
pUce and having the most delightful climate In the
south, surrounded by the Cumberland Mountaine.

Six Pages of Retailers' Cards

This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the
facilities for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid
development of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and
so helpful 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 Qn the order in hand.

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?

The Market.

The extremely hot weather last week
was anything but beneficial to the cut
flower market, which was considered
dull. A few of the large stores report-
ed some good-sized funeral orders, but
anything outside of that was small.
Stock is plentiful, but of poor quality.
About the only flowers of good quality
are gladioli, lilies and valley. Roses
ship in poorly and open quickly; the
market has plenty of these. Carna-
tions are much off in size and color and
the bulk of them do not bring over $10
per thousand. All outdoor stock is suf-
fering for want of rain. Adiantunt,
smilax and asparagus sold well all the
week. Fancy ferns, too, were in good
demand.

Club Anniversary.

The twenty-fifth anniversary ban-
quet of the iPlorists' Club took place
Wednesday evening, June 28, at Pech-
mann's hotel, and fifty-three members
were seated at the tables. The large
room was nicely decorated with palms
and the tables with cut flowers, and the
members voted it one of the best af-
fairs the club has yet given.

After a splendid feast, Toastmaster
J. F. Ammann called on George As-
mus, president of the S. A. F., who
spoke on S. A. F. matters. H. B. Dor-
ner, of Urbana, HI., secretary of the
S. A. F., was next called on for a talk
on *'The Relationship of the S. A. F.
to Florists' Clubs." President Con-
non spoke on "The Florists' Club,"
and Luther Armstrong en "The Early
Days of the Florists' Club," he being
the first secretary. C. C. Sanders spoke

There were only four members pres-
ent who attended the first meeting of
the club, twenty-five years ago. They
were E. W. Guy, L. Armstrong, C. A.
Juengel and S. Kehrmann. J. S. Wil-
son, a charter member, sent a congratu-
latory telegram from his home in Des
Moines, la.

The Florists' Club will hold its reg-
ular monthly meeting on Thursday aft-
ernoon, July 13, at 2 o'clock. The nom-
ination of officers will take place and
a large attendance is looked for.

Chairman De Wever has called a
meeting of the bulletin committee for
Thursday afternoon, July 13, at 1
o'clock, in the rooms of the Florists'
Club in Odd Fellows' building. The
meeting is quite important and he re-
quests a full attendance.

Various Notes.

The Holland seed growers are having
to contend with a dry season.

The Everett B. Clark Seed Co., of
Milford, Conn., is about to build a brick
warehouse, 38x62 feet and three stories
high.

Peas are spotty, there are some good
fields and some bad fields, with the aver-
age rather below what tJie growers would
like for this date, even with a larger
acreage than is out.

KuCH radish as there is in Michigan
looks fairly well, but several growers who
have had big pieces of radish in this
territory in recent years have gone else-
where with their crops.

NEW POSITION OF DISCLAIMER.

An attorney whose specialty is com-
mercial law states that it is no new
thing for the courts to hold that a
contract is not to be affected by some-
thing that is entirely outside the con-
tract, and not referred to in it, even
though that something may be jotted
down upon the same jjiece of paper on

which the contract is written. A con-
tract, in short, has a definite place of
beginning and a definite end, and noth-
ing can affect it which is written or
printed in the margin, or on the other
side of the sheet, or on another sheet
of the same paper or book. Marginal
matter, or other matter outside the
body of the contract, may be incorpo-
rated by being referred to in the con-
tract proper, but not otherwise. A case
in which the Supreme Court of the
United States so held some time ago is
that reported in 150 U. S., 312. Here
the court says that the contract is to be
construed according to the terms stated
in the correspondence, "and as it was
clearly expressed in the writings be-

tween the parties, it could not be varied
by the terms of the printed billhead
of the invoice."

In Illinois it has been held that
"printed matter in a letterhead forms
no part of the letter written on the
sheet, and will not qualify an absolute
contract which results from an accept-
ance of an offer by such letter." See
153 111., 102. As a result of The Re-
view having called attention to the
latter decision as affecting the validity
of the disclaimer, as usually printed on
seedsmen's stationery, some seedsmen
some time ago shifted the position of
the disclaimer on their letterheads,
bringing it to a point where it imme-
diately follows the words "Dear Sirs,"
or "Gentlemen," as ordinarily filled in

BURPEE SAII.S SANS PAJAMAS.

When you sail for Europe and find
you have forgotten to pack your tooth-
brush, you can remedy the oversight,
with the aid of the wireless and aero-
plane. And it was a seedsman who
conceived the idea — only Mr. Burpee's
parcel fell into the sea.

With the president of the National
Sweet Pea Society on board the giant
White Star liner, Olympic, on its maiden
voyage eastward, June 28, Thomas Sop-
with undertook to deliver to him a
package from a New York department
store. It was planned that as soon as
the giant White Star liner should ap-
pear oflF Liberty Light the aviator
should ascend with the bundle for Mr.
Burpee on the seat beside him, sail

over the bay, follow the Olympic until
be could make sure that he could drop
the bundle on the deck, and then fly
back to his starting point, the Crescent
Club. "While several hundred members
of the club and guests looked on from
the shore, Sopwith was seen to sail
gracefully out over the bay and to fol-
low the Olympic southward. Then he
was seen to take a downward swoop,
until it seemed from the shore that he
would land on the deck of the liner.
But with fine precision, showing that
his biplane was under perfect control,
he arose again, and as he started up-
ward a white object was seen to drop
toward the steamship. Across the bay
came the raucous sound of the salute
of the Olympic's whistle. The decks
of the steamship were suddenly seen to
become white with waving handker-
chiefs. But a wireless reported the par-
cel fell into the sea.

BOHNEKT INCBEASES ACBEAOE.

Waldo Eohnert has purchased from
the Ausaymas Eanch Co., Hollister, Cal.,
286 acres of land for $50,000. The land
ia located about one-half mile south-
east of Dunneville Corners, adjoining
a tract of 200 acres owned by Mr.
Bohnert, and the entire 486 acres will
be used for a seed farm. The land just
purchased is considered the best in San
Benito county for seed raising, and this
is one of the most important real estate
transactions that has taken place in the
county for some time.

Correspondingly high readings were made all
OTer the pea and bean districts at the opening
of the week.

Such extreme shade temperatures,
coming at a critical time for the peas,
have done great damage, cooking the
vines, inducing premature ripening and
still further reducing a crop that never
had a chance of being large.

MAINE POTATO OUTLOOK.

According to G. Fred Snow, special
agent of the Bangor & Aroostook rail-
road, who has just returned home from
a tour along the line, Aroostook potato
fields never looked better than those of
the present season. He expects the crop
to equal, if not exceed, that of last
year, although estimates at this time
of year may prove rather unsatisfac-
tory later on. As to acreage, this year's
crop will occupy somewhere in the vi-
cinity of 90,600 acres — about the same
aa a year ago. The coming crop is like-
ly to be of much better quality than
that of 1910.

HOUiAlTD BULB CBOPS.

This spring the weather was peculiar,
for we cannot remember such weather
during preceding years. The winter was
rather mild, but in the first weeks of
April, just as the hyacinths were in
flower, we had a severe frost. East
winds and icy cold continued some days
and then north and northwest winds and
storms, with snow and hail, followed.
The frost was severe (12 to 14 degrees
Fahrenheit) and the hyacinths looked
poorly. The flowers were all flat on
the earth and the leaves were stiff. Al-
though a bright air prevailed, the sun
was not able to melt the ice in the cen-
ter and between the leaves of the
plants. Also the frozen leaves of the
tulips suffered by the wind and the gen-
eral opinion was "a poor grow." But
it happened otherwise. After the frost
beautiful dry weather followed and the
bulbous plants recovered themselves ad-
mirably, though the first weeks the bulb
growers had a lot of work to cut the
frozen tops of the leaves down. If the
dry tops remain on the plants diseases
such as "fire" may appear. The beau-
tiful weather, however, helped the grow-
ers and diseases were less common than
in other years. The hyacinths devel-
oped well at many places, especially the
young bulbs. The first size bulbs have,
at some places, poor roots, and there-
fore rather high prices for really first-
class quality may be expected. From
the contiuous dry weather the forcing
quality is expected to be high. Tulips,
especially the early ones, ripened off at
some places too early, and a smaller
quantity of first size bulbs will be the
result. Generally, however, the crop of
early tulips will be large enough to sat-
isfy all buyers. The late tulips, Dar-
wins and cottage, made a better growth
than last year, and as there are already
many orders for them, an active trade
will follow in the export season. The
narcissi, daffodils, tazettas, etc., are
good,^ and no fire or other disease ap-
peared. The crocuses were, early in
spring, very good, but the drought
caused the leaves to die off too soon
and so the crop will be moderate. The
ranunculus suffered from the lack of
rain, but anemones, irises, ixias, gladi-
oli and lilies have developed well. The
lifting of the tulips began in the first
week of June, being nearly a fortnight
earlier than last year.

In conclusion, we may say the crop
of the different bulbs will be good in
1911, and as the forcing quality ia high,
an active trade is expected.

At the green auctions, which take
place on the fields when the bulbs are in
full flower, the prices for hyacinths and
Darwin tulips were high. Ihiring recent
years large quantities of Darwin tulips
have been exported to America, and
this year the exportation will surpass

all records. Formerly only or principally
mixed Darwin tulips were ordered by
the American seedsmen, but now, as
they have learned the better kinds and
their brilliant colors, they require the
varieties separate. By this fact the
stock of many leading varieties, as
Clara Butt, Mr. Farncombe Sanders,
Tais, Edmee, Mme. Krelage, Faust, etc.,
will soon be short, and at the end of
the season prices may be expected to be
higher than ever. The cottage tulips
also were, during the preceding years,
more in demand than formerly. The
single and double early tulips were, at
the green auctions, moderate in price,
but for forcing purposes they will be
ordered in very large quantities.

The prepared hyacinths have become
known in foreign countries, and just
now the growers are making a begin-
ning with preparation. They lift the
bulbs earlier and bring them into, a
heated bulb house. In autumn, 1911, at
Haarlem, a show will be held of pre-
pared hyacinths and tulips.

The hyacinths grown one year in the
south are not so satisfactory as was ex-
pected, and if the trials with the pre-
pared bulbs should give a good result,
the cultivation of hyacinths will soon oe
a thing of the past in Trence. — Horti-

The value of clay for pot-
tery is not based on the mere
cost of delivering the clay at
a certain place, but on the
quality of pottery which, in
the hands of artists, can be
produced by that particular
clay. Both material and art
are necessary to create the
ultimate value — one is de-
pendent upon the other. So
with Lily Bulbs, you must
have good bulbs and be a
flowering artist to evolve
from them all they will pro-
duce. Bad bulbs are the most
costly to buy, because of the
lost time, space, expense and
effort wasted, and then no
returns, so how foolish it
really is to buy bulbs because
they are cheap! That's when
you should be suspicious of
them. Get good bulbs — base
your costs on the average
flower production and don't
take chances on cheap bulbs,
for one dose of bad bulbs will
more than offset the addi-
tional cost of better bulbs for
perhaps ten years. Horse-

Vegetable Forcing,

DESTRUCTIVE INSECTS.

You will find enclosed a specimen fly
and also a small piece of snowberry
with insects on it. The flies last year
were extremely destructive; in one
night they ate nearly all my Swiss
chard. If you know of anything which
I could put on the Swiss chard to keep
the flies away, I should be pleased to
hear about it. Could the chard be
safely used after being sprayed or
dusted? As to the insect on the snow-
berry, I should like to know what it is
and what would kill it. E. P.

I have never been troubled with
these same pests or with any other on
snowberry shrubs or Swiss chard beets.
The flies that are so destructive to the
Swiss chard are a kind of beetles and
will be hard to fight, for the reason
that they can not be sprayed with any
insecticide, as the foliage is used for
greens. If you have only a small patch,
you might keep the beetles off by
spraying them hard every day with
the hose and knocking them all off.
Or' you might try putting tobacco
stems along each side of the rows;
the smell of these would keep many
insects away. But do not spray with
any kind of dope.

I have sent the samples to the state
entomologist for further information.

CAI.IFOBNIA NXTBSEBYMEN.

The California Nurserymen's Asso-
ciation is the name of an organization
that has recently been formed and is
affiliated with the Pacific Coast Asso-
ciation. Officers have been elected, pre-
liminaries arranged and twenty-six
members enlisted.

The officers are: President, W. V.
Eberly; vice-presidents, Messrs. How-
ard, Chisholm, Wheeler and Wilson;
secretary, H. W. Kruckeberg; execu-
tive committee, Messrs. Crow, How-
ard and Wrightman. G.

PACIFIC COAST NUESEBYMEN.

Their Convention at San Jose.

The ninth annual convention of the
Pacific Coast Association of Nurserymen
was held in Odd Fellows * hall, San Jose,
Cal., June 21 to 23. Over 100 enthusi-
astic members were present and the
meeting was by far the most success-
ful one ever held by the association.

The address of welcome was delivered
by Mayor C. W. Davison, who was in-
troduced by President George C. Eoed-
ing and who responded in a most
hearty and appropriate fashion. Joseph
T. Brooks, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, followed with a few timely
remarks, in which he referred to the
great amount of good done in the dis-
semination of new fruits and flowers by
those who were actively engaged in
propagating and selling on this coast.
President P. A. Dix gave a hearty re-
sponse and Secretary-Treasurer C. A.
Tonneson read the minutes and reports
of the last meeting, which were quite
interesting and received the indorse-
ment of the association.

Beports and recommendations of vice-
presidents were then made. A. W. Mc-
Donald, of Toppenish, Wash.; J. B. Pil-
kington, of Portland, Ore.; Ray Hart-
ley, of Emmett, Idaho; W. V. Eberly,
of Niles, Cal.; E. M. Tyson, of Brig-
ham City, Utah; Leonard Coates, of
Morgan Hill, Cal., and Albert Brownell,
all bore testimony that nursery inter-
ests in each of their several localities
were in a prosperous condition and that
indications for the future were never
brighter. M. McDonald, of Orenco,
Ore., and P. A. Dix, of Roy, Idaho, on
the legislative committee, said that
there was much to be done of vital in-
terest to the- trade in Utah and that
the legislature in Utah needed consid-
erable attention, or laws might be
passed that would mean ruination to
the nursery business. S. A. Miller, of
the membership committee, made his
report, as also did C. F. Breithaupt, of
the reception committee.

These gentlemen were thanked by
President Roeding for the manner in
which they had filled their offices. M.
McDonald then spoke on "Nurserymen
and Horticultural Authorities," and a
general discussion of the subject was
indulged in for some minutes. H. W.
Krnckeberg followed with a paper on

"Stray Thoughts on the Quarantine
Laws and Their Execution." This arti-
cle was written by J. S. Armstrong and
covered that phase of the nursery inter-
ests in a concise and complete manner.
J. W. Jeffrey, commissioner of horti-
culture, followed with an address along
the same lines and a general discussion
took place at its close. S. A. Miller, of
Milton, Ore., took for his subject ' ' Atti-
tude of Nurserymen Toward Horticul-
tural Laws and Inspectors," and the
propositions involved were well handled
by him.

Second Day's Session.

The second day's session was opened
by President Roeding, introducing Prof.

E. J. Wickson, who spoke on "Why the
Nurseryman Should Stand in the Posi-
tion of an Educator to the Fruit-grow-
ers." This was a splendid r6sum6 of
the better conditions that would be
made possible if all in the trade exerted
their utmost to bring them about. C.

F. Breithaupt read a paper on "Grad-
ing Nursery Stock." A. McGill gave
an address on "Plans for Growing and
Keeping Nursery Stock." A. W. Mc-
Donald read a paper on "Apple Seed-
lings in the Northwest." C. F. Lansing
spoke on "The Value of Cleaning
Seedlings Before Planting."

Mr. Chase proffered a hearty welcome
to the nurserymen to go to Salt Lake
City next year, after several of the
members had stated that the selection
of a place which would bring the most
new members and include the biggest
territory should be made. His kind of-
fer was accepted, and, by a unanimous
vote, the convention was ordered held
at Salt Lake City in 1912. The mo-
tion of J. B. Pilkington, to have the
association request that the American
Association of Nurserymen hold its
meeting in 1913 with the Pacific Coast
Association, and that it be asked to
give this matter its consideration, was
enthusiastically received. The associa-
tion will take the necessary action to
bring about this joint meeting by con-
solidation. The association favored
Portland, but even if Portland were not
to have the honor, they wanted to see
this convention come to the Pacific
coast.

The following committees were ap-
pointed: Committee on grading stock,
P. A. Dix, A. W. McDonald, S. A. Mil-
ler, W. Eberly, Charles Trotter; com-
mittee on president's address, P. A.
Dix, M. McDonald, H. W. Vrieveberg;
committee on auxiliary associations,
Fred Howard, E. Rust, John Vallance,

Pilkington, W. V. Eberly, F. V. Spauld-
ing.

In the afternoon Luther Burbank
gave an address and an excursion was
taken as the guests of the Chamber of
Commerce on the electric line through
Congress Springs, Saratoga, Campbell
and Los Gatos. In the evening the
Protective Association held an execu-
tive session in St. James hall. The
grading of nursery stock was discussed
and it is expected that shortly there
will be a recognized schedule prepared
and circulated, with a view to establish-
ing a universal schedule for the sale of
trees.

Third Day's Session.

The third day's session opened with
a paper by P. A. Dix on "The Nur-
seryman, a Pioneer." This was fol-
lowed by Leonard Coates on "Does
Pedigreed Stock Pay?" N. S. Bennett
spoke on "Virtues and Faults of Differ-
ent Kinds of Pear Stocks," John Eei-
mer on "Outdoor Adornment," and H.
W. Kruckeberg on "Wild Flowers of
California. ' '

The election of officers for the com-
ing year resulted as follows:

President— P. A. Dix, of Utah,

Vice-presidents — C. F. Lansing, Ore-
gon; C. H. Smith, Utah; John Vallance,
California; Kay Hartley, Idaho; A. W.
McDonald, Washington; Charles Trotter,
British Columbia; D. I. Tighe, Mon-
tana.

Secretary-Treasurer — C. F. Tonneson,
Washington, reelected.

Executive Committee — M. Soles,
Utah; A. McGill, Oregon; Leonard
Coates, California.

The last item on the program was a
trip by special train to inspect the
California Nursery Co., at Niles, Cal.
About 125 members and their wives
took the trip, spent a pleasant time
and had a splendid repast, after which
they returned to San Jose, all declar-
ing that this was the most successful
convention ever held on the Pacific
coast. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

Tlie Market.

The weather is slightly warmer in the
daytime than it was last week, but the
nights are cold and foggy, in magnifi-
cent contrast with those of the eastern
states. The conditions are perfect for
flower growing, handling and shipping
in all its phases and never at this sea-
son of the year have blooms of all
kinds shown to better advantage. Busi-
ness is extremely quiet, even with the
fact that San Ftancisco has the Inter-
national Sunday School Convention on
her hands at present, and there are
many thousands of strangers in town.
Still our delightful climate and our
wealth of flowers and fruits cannot but
help to make a tremendous impression
on these visitors, and California is
bound to benefit thereby at a future
time.

Dahlias and gladioli have made their
entries into the flower field in large
quantities and have taken the places
made vacant by the disappearance of
bulbous stock. Sweet peas are still be-
ing brought into town by thousands,
and, although about the best selling ar-
ticle on the list, are far from being
used in their entirety. Carnations and
roses are held at the same prices they
have enjoyed since Memorial day, and
sell about as usual for this season of
the year.

The Market.

Business conditions for the last week
have been spasmodic. Stock is plentiful
in every line. Carnations are showing
the effects of the weather, getting
smaller all the time. Roses are equal to
the demand. Sweet peas are improving
steadily in quality; yet the market is
deluged with all grades. Coreopsis and
gaillardias are attractive in window
displays, but move slowly over the
counter.

The funeral of Fire-Chief David
Campbell, who was killed at his post
of duty, created an unusual demand for
flowers. The principal call was for
large designs of many varieties and the
work was well distributed among all the
florists.

Various Notes.

Geo. C. Robinson, formerly of the
Tonseth Floral Co., and A. E. Alder
have leased the range of Geo. Betz, near
Oregon City. They will grow carna-
tions exclusively, for the wholesale
market.

The Pacific Coast department of this
week's Review contains an account of
the recent convention of the Pacific
Coast Association of Nurserymen at San
Jose, Cal.

B. E. Gage, of Peterson Nursery, re-
turned to Chicago last week after an
automobile trip of 600 miles among cus-
tomers in Wisconsin and Minnesota. W.
A. Peterson and family went to Lake
Geneva July 3 for a fortnight's outing.

INSPECTION IN ENGLAND.

In the recently published bulletin of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
a part of which has been quoted in The
Review, describing conditions in Euro-
pean nurseries, C. L. Marlatt stated:

In England Dr. Howard found that, as In
France, there was no goTernmental nurser.v in-
«pectlon. The nursery conditions there are some-
what better than In France, but the brown-tall
moth and other Injurious Insects which might
easily be imported on nursery stock occur in
England. The officials of the government had
the establishment of a governmental inspection
service under consideration, and were willing to
establish such a service, hut stated that the
demand for it must come from British nursery-
men. An attempt was therefore made by Dr.
Howard to get these Interests to ask for sucli
aervice, and. while no action has yet been taken.
It seems probable that the English government
will move in this direction.

Noting the above paragraph, Charles
G. Pearson, secretary of the Horticul-
tural Traders' Association of Great
Britain and Ireland, writes The Re-
view:

"Referring to your notice of the
quarantine bill (June 8, page 51), it is
not quite correct to say that 'no action
has been taken,' as my association has
been in communication and had a depu-

' ' I think it would be a good , thing
if you could publish this information;
otherwise an impression might get
abroad that nurserymen here were un-
able to fulfill the obligations imposed
by the U. S. law and a serious hindrance
to business might be the result."

EXTENDING WHOLESALE TRADE.

[A paper by E. S. Welch, of Shenandoah,
la., read at the convention of. the American
ABBoclatlcn of Nurserymen In St. Louis, June
14 to 16, 1911.]

In many cases the . nurseryman who
grows stock extensively must depend
largely upon selling his product at
wholesaip to the retailer. For the pro-
duction of the best class of trees,
shrubs, etc., the personal attention of
the owners of a large nursery plant is
usually required. It is often difficult,
therefore, to find time to distribute the
product direct to the ultimate consumer.

Orowttig Desirable Stock.

All of us can help extend our whole-
sale market by producing a better grade
of trees, by being careful to grow the
hardiest and most desirable varieties,
and by encouraging the distribution and
planting of such stock as will give the
planter the best possible results. Su-
perior varieties of nursery stock, prop-
erly grown when planted, will be the
means of increasing the demand for de-
sirable stock at prices profitable to the
grower. , I \J!.,,

The introduction of valuable fruits,
ornamentals, roses, vines, etc., such as

pies; Montmorency, Bing and Wragg
cherries; the Japanese varieties of plum;
weeping birch, elm and mulberry; Frau
Karl Druschki and rambler roses; Clem-
atis paniculata and other varieties, too
numerous to mention — the introduction
of all these, I say, has been the means
of a wonderful extension of the whole-
sale market for nursery stock.

The nurseryman can materially assist
in creating a demand for the best and
most desirable varieties, by planting
freely himself, and giving the necessary
attention to producing the best possible
results.

Encouraging Civic Improvement.
He should be an active member of the
improvement clubs and various organi-
zations interested in civic improve-
ments, and he should take the lead in
organizing them, not from a selfish
standpoint alone, for he should realize
the great benefits that will accrue to all
communities from the planting of trees,
flowers, roses, etc. While such activity
will enlarge the markets for nursery
products, it is also the duty of the
nurseryman, as a patriotic citizen, to
encourage the beautifying of our coun-
try. What is there that will add to the
beauty and value of real estate like the
planting of fruit ttees and, ornamental
nursery stock!

The nurseryman who can develop and
introduce additional varieties of su-
perior merit, in all lines of horticulture,
will materially assist in the extension
of our markets. The recent develop-
ment and advancement of our nation in
growing fruits has created a greater ne-
cessity for growing trees in wholesale
quantities. Street, park and orna-
mental planting is rapidly following in
all parts of our country; hence the
nurseryman has a brpad field for the
development and , ex,tensioj)L, of our
wholesale markets. '

JULT 6, 1911.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market.

Indianapolis is having its share of
the hot weather. July 1 the thermom-
eter registered 98 degrees in the shade.
This extremely hot weather is having
its effects on flowers. Lilies are the
leaders in quality. Beauties are fair
and carnations and Killarneys are hold-
ing out well, notwithstanding the heat.

Trade has been good, every day bring-
ing considerable funeral work.

Various Notes.

W. W. Coles, of Kokomo, drove over
in his new automobile July 1.

Harry Jones, with the Jones-Russell
Co., Cleveland, is spending a few days
with Geo. Wiegand.

S. S. Skidelsky spent a day with the
trade this week. He has been at French
Lick for the last ten days.

Herman Schilling is installing a new
forty horse-power boiler. He reports a
good spring business, having sold en-
tirely out of bedding stock.

Martin Brandlein left last week for
a visit to Germany. He expects to be
gone about two months.

Carl Leonard, formerly with the
Pahud Floral Co., has gone to Chicago
to take a position.

Robert Fohl was married last week.
Bernie Fohl, Sr., spent a few days in
the city, attending the wedding.

J. A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, spent
Saturday in this city, calling on the
trade.

Carl Shuck, formerly with Henry Rie-
man, has opened a cut flower store at
Fountain square. The new establish-
ment is to be known as the Fountain
Square Floral Co.

Baur & Steinkamp initiated a new
delivery wagon last week.

C. W. Nims, with the A. H. Hews Co.,
spent a day here this week.

The Market.

June certainly was the month of wed-
dings. Close to 400 marriage licenses
were issued by the county clerk which
should be ample proof that the florists
were kept on the move all the time.
Nothing in the way of a big wedding
was held, but still some nice orders
were handled, and, on the whole, re-
ceipts on this line of work were above
the average. Not only as a month of
weddings does June ^hine, tut the com-
mencements are also in line. While not
quite so heavy as last season, a good
business was done in this department.
Several big funerals took place, and
stock of all kinds was cleaned up at all
times. Never has good stock been so
scarce in June as this season. There was
a shortage all through the month, and
it was kienly felt. Carnations were of
poor quality, owing to the extremely
hot weather; roses ditto. Sweet peas,
which in other seasons have been so
plentiful as to be a drug, were as good
as cash. Those who had them are wear-
ing that "smile that won't come off.
The outlook for a better supply of flow-
ers is not any too good, as asters are
the next crop to come on, and they will
not be any too plentiful, while carna-
tions and sweet peas are about over for
this season. But, as business will be
quiet for the next two or three months,
we shall not need much stock. It is
hotter than usual and everybody is
looking forward to vacation time and a
few weeks' rest. ^- ^-

ANNOUNCEMENT!

We beg to announce to the carnation growen in general and to those in
want of a PROnTABLE SCARLET CARNATION in paiticular that

DELHI

will be disseminated DURING THE SEASON OF 1912 at the following prices :

100, $10.00; 1000, $7S.OO; 2S00, $6S.OO per 1000; 5000, $60.00 per 1000; 10,000, $S5.00 per 1000 (^,Z^^)

As a matter of course, the question will be asked : What sort of a Carnation is Delhi ? We will
answer this question briefly and to the point :

e, (let) Delhi is a scarlet seedling of exceptional merit—
a cross of Encliantress on an unnamed scarlet seedling.

C (2d) Delhi comes in early, it is free, and produces
fine blooms throughout the season.

C (3d) Delhi is a strong grower, of ideal habit, making
no surplus grass— every shoot coming into flower.

C (4th) Delhi has a calyx
lately non-bursting.

that is perfect and abso-

(5th) Its color is that of Victory or Beacon at its best,
but, unlike the latter, it does not fade into an orange
tint during the early fall and late spring.
(6th) Delhi under ordinary treatment (and it has
been grown all along in ordinary field soil without any
admixture of fertilizers) makes Sand 3^ -inch blooms.
Its keeping qualities cannot possibly be.surpaased, for
blooms shipped to Gfeorgia, Florida and other southern
points were never known to reach destination in a
sleepy condition.

Mr. C. C. Murphy, the originator of Delhi, had grown it during the past five years for the Cincin-
nati market and has found it to be, without exception, the most profitable carnation he had ever grown,
so much so that it required no little effort on our part to induce him to give " the other fellows " a
chance at it. That the growers in the vicinity of Cincinnati well know the merits of Delhi is well
proven by the fact that no sooner had we closed the deal with Mr. C. C. Murphy than orders were
placed with us promptly for " early" delivery.

If you know any grower or retail florist in or around Cincinnati, just drop him a line and
ask him his candid opinion about Delhi* Better still,. come and see it for yourself at any time from
September on.

DELHI is a bread-wlnnerZ Place your order. You will not regret the investment.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The Market,

There is not much doing here outside
of funeral work, June weddings have
been plentiful and helped out a lot.
Flowers are in good supply. Carnations
retail at 50 cents per dozen; roses at
$1 and $1,50 per dozen; lilies at $2 per
dozen; gladioli at $1.50 per dozen; sweet
peas at $1 per hundred blooms. Funeral
work is good, using up quantities of
short stock. Bedding out is still on the
jump, but towards the end of the month
will have let up a little. Most of the
stores close at 6 p. m., with the excep-
tion of Saturday evening. Young stock
in the fields is looking good. A few
good rains would benefit the plants im-
mensely. We are having some warm
weather now.

Various Notes.

The rose show of the New Bedford
Horticultural Society was held in the
library building Tuesday, June 27. M.
H. Walsh, of Woods Hole, had a large
display of roses, in addition to a fine dis-
play from the Eogers estate.

W. L.

Manistee, Mich. — J. T. Harrell, for-
merly of Winchester, Ind., has pur-
chased the Kitzinger greenhouses, in
this city, and is preparing to restock
them.

Cadiz, O. — John T. Timmons, of the
Birdlawn Conservator}', has had a good
season's business. In spite of the fact
that he is afllicted with blindness and
is compelled, as he says, to "labor in
darkness," he accomplishes much, with
the help of Mrs. Timmons. He is a dili-
gent student of horticulture and has
contributed articles on that and other
subjects for the press, doing his own
writing on the typewriter. He planned
his own build) iifTs without the aid of
sight.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

July C, 1911.

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

With the conclusion of the gradua-
tion exercises at the public and private
schools, the florists have practically fin-
ished their special work for the season.
Funeral work, however, continues brisk
and this keeps the retailers more or less
active. The action of the school authori-
ties in some instances in refusing to al-
low flowers to be sent to the pupils at
the schools has caused much discussion
among the florists and the matter is to
be taken up by the Florists' and Gar-
deners' Club of Rhode Island and a
committee appointed to look into it.

Various Notes.

The annual excursion of the Rhode
Island Horticultural Society will be
made to Conanicut park on the steamer
Sagamore, Friday, July 7, with dinner
on the island, thence to Newport, where
Fort Adams will be visited.

Samuel S. Pennock and family, of
Philadelphia, have been spending a
short time in the vicinity of Westerly,

William Crompton, of East Green-
wich, is bringing to market some excel-
lent Easter lilies.

Timothy O'Connor is erecting a hand-
some new ofSce building at his green-
houses on Blackstone boulevard. The
former office building has been moved
to one side and is to be remodeled for
a packing and make-up room.

The decorations for the recent fire-
men 's memorial day were made . by
Charles H. Hunt.

Alphonso V. Chester and Miss Lydia
Cain were married last week.

George H. Fitch and Earl De Muth
were in the Sixth District Court a few
days ago for breaking into the shop of
Michael Sweeney, 512 Pine street, and
stealing a small sum of money. They
were sent to the reform school during
their minority.

Miss Clara McCarron, the daughter
of Eugene McCarron, had a narrow
escape recently. She came in contact
with an electric wire that had broken
loose and received a shock that con-
fined her to the house for several days.

John Johnston, of Johnston Bros., has
been confined to the house for several
days as a result of injuries received by
being thrown from his wagon during a
runaway.

Lawrence Hay is erecting an up-to-
date cottage on Center street. East
Providence.

The Woonsocket Nurseries, C. W.
Morey, proprietor^ of Woonsocket, have
been busy all spring.

John Marlow, 48 years of age, a well-
known gardener, was knocked off an
electric car on College Hill a few days
ago. One of the wheels passed over his
right arm, severing the hand just above
the wrist.

Henry C. Neubrand and Miss Made-
line Walsham were married recently at
Newton Highlands, Mass.

Thomas Curley, who has greenhouses
on Wallace street", has complained to
the police of the breaking of numerous
panes of glass by boys.

J. Kopelman is finishing a new house
on his farm at Oaklawn. It is 30x200
feet.

Charles H. Hunt has purchased three
lots of land on Mystic sttcet, containing
about 12,000 square feet. He intends to
begin at once the erection of one if not
two houses. He will plant nothing but
new varieties of carnations. W. H. M.

quantity next season, and feel confident that we shall be in a position to fill

the shamrock, or at least one variety
of it, viz.: Trifolium repens, which is
the variety most commonly sold for
shamrock. Oxalis Acetosella, or com-
mon wood sorrel, is also much sold for
shamrock, as also are several other
plants. No one can tell what the true
shamrock is, but if you plant Trifo-
lium repens it will be found to fill the
bill acceptably. C. W.

PINCHING BACK COSMOS.

Please tell me at what stage cosmos
should be when you cut them back or
top them to make the plants bloom
earlier. E. W. P.

Cutting back or pinching back cosmos
will hardly make them bloom any
earlier. It will, however, make the
plants somewhat dwarfer and more
shapely. The pinching back can be
done now, and again a month hence. If
you want some nice, bushy plants, root
some of the tops you take off in the
propagating bench and pot on, flower-
ing them in 8-inch pots. By pinching
once or twice, the plants can be kept
fairly short. Keep them plunged out-
doors, with a stout stake to each, and
do not place them under glass until the
fall gales or early frost threatens their
extinction. C. W.

Greenhouse Heating.

Subscribers are invited to write the
editor of the Heating Department, de-
scribing their troubles or asking any
questions regarding the heating of green-
houses, the piping or boiler-room. But
please do not ask us to make a choice of
apparatus for you. Each boiler adver-
tised in The Review is a good boiler, and
the advertisers sell them on their merits.

A SMALL WISCONSIN HOUSE.

How many feet of 2-inch pipe will
be needed to heat a greenhouse 18 x 55
feet? The north wall is four feet high,
completely underground, and the south
wall is three feet high. The house is
seven feet high at the center. I want
a temperature of 55 degrees. Please
tell me, also, how large a boiler will
be required. F. W. S.

If 2-inch pipe is to be used for both
flows and returns, two flows and eight
returns will be required. It could also
be done with one 2Vi!-inch flow and
eight 2-inch returns. There should be
no difficulty in heating the house with a
boiler having a 20-inth grate, or with
one that is rated at 450 feet of radiat-
ing surface.

TWO COLORADO HOUSES.

One of our houses is 20x99 feet. It
runs north and south, with the boiler
at the north end. The walls are cement
and are four feet high. The height
to the ridge is nine feet. We also have
one house 12x35, running west from
the boiler room, so that the two houses
have the form of an ell. This smaller
house has 5-foot cement walls and is
nine and one-half feet to the ridge,
with glass in one gable end. We have
an Ideal sectional hot water boiler,
with a rating of 1,650 square feet. The
larger house must have a temperature of
50 to 52 degrees; the smaller one, 55
to 60 degrees. An outside temperature
of 10 degrees below zero is cold for
us, and we have experienced only a few
nights of that temperature. Is our
boiler large enough? How should our
piping be done to get the best results?
We have had extremely unsatisfactory
results from the present system of pip-
ing. The expansion tank is three and
one-half feet above the highest point
of the piping. There is a Honeywell
generator on the system, but something
is radically wrong, as the small house
will not heat above 50 degrees in zero
weather. D. F. C.

As the amount of radiation needed
in the houses will not be more than
1,150 feet, a boiler with a rating of
1,650 square feet of radiation should
be amply large. An excess of twenty-

five to thirty per eent should serve
every purpose.

To heat the larger house, use three
2^-inch flow pipes, placing one in the
center overhead and the others on the
side walls. If the end of the house is
much exposed, carry the flow pipes on
the walls halfway around the ends and
start the returns at that point. For the
returi^s, nine 2-inch pipes should be
used. They can be arranged in three
coils, one of which should be under
each of the side flows and the other
under the middle bench. The flows
should be given a slight fall and the
expansion tank should be attached at
the highest point. With the piping
and arrangement suggested, there
should be no difficulty in maintaining
52 degrees when the outside tempera-
ture is 10 degrees below zero. For the
smaller house, use two 2%-inch flows
on the walls and seven or eight 2-inch
returns underneath.

IN EASTERN KANSAS.

I am building a greenhouse, 18 x 67
feet and eight feet to the ridge. The
walls are three feet high, with two
feet of glass. The house slopes to
the west. The ends are glass. I wish
to pipe for hot water, in such a way
that I can change to steam later if I

desire. I have in view a new cast-
iron boiler, with a capacity of 750 gal-
lons and with three 2-inch outlets.
Would one 2-inch flow be enough to
heat the required amount of IVj-inch
returns, and how many returns would
be required to maintain a temperature
of 40 degrees when the outside tem-
perature is zero! J. B. M.

For the house described use either
one 21/^-inch flow or two 2-inch flows.
A single 2-inch flow would be too small.
For the returns use nine liA-inch pipes
with a 2% -inch flow, and eight returns
if two 2-inch flows are put in. If
the flow pipes run downhill, it will be
a simple matter to change from a hot
water to a gravity steam system.

EXTENDING THE COILS.

We have a small house, thirty feet
long, which we wish to extend to the
'same length as our other houses, which
are sixty feet long. In extending the
coils, would it be satisfactory to sim-
ply make new coils and fasten them
onto the old ones by means of close
nipples? C. V. G.

The question does not give any idea
of how the present coils are arranged,
or of the manner in which it is pro-

Read What They Say

*'In regards to the Morehead Steam Traps, the two old Steam Traps
here were in use 12 years and did the work until we put up too many
houses and then we had to get two No. 5, and these are large enough now
for the entire place, which is 75,000 feet of glass. They give us no trouble
here at all; pump all the water very easy and require no attention what-
ever. Work on all kinds of steam pressures, high or low. We have our
boilers on floor level and have what you may call the Double Trap
System* They deliver the water hot and quickly. Also feed the boil-
ers with the city water when we need water by just letting it simmer in
the receiver. We only turn oflf city water when we shut down steam for
the day, so we can always hold the water line in our boilers steady by just
letting the cold water valve so and the city water mixes with the con-
densed water and never helps to run the steam down on the boilers. We
consider the Traps far ahead of the pump* as the pump is too slow
and requires packing and also oil. Traps for US every time and
Morehead at that* The old Traps would have lasted a life-time, as
they did not show any wear in the 12 years they were in use here."

I bousrht a No. 3 Boiler In 1901. We had a corrugated cast Iron fire-box boiler and sectional cast Iron boiler
before we bought yours in 1901. The cost ot beating with this boiler is one-half less than It was with my
cast Iron boilers. Your No. 8 Boiler, which we bought recently of you, is not being run to its capacity.

posed to inake the connection. If
steam is to be used, almost any method
of connecting the pipes would probably
answer, but if the pipes are for hot
water, care must be taken not to ob-
struct the flow. The best way would
be to extend the present coils, but if
that is done it might be necessary to
put in larger flow and return pipes.
Not more than 200 square feet of
radiation should be carried in 2-inch
flow and return pipes.

If this can not be done, run inde-
pendent flow and return pipes to the
new coils, unless a direct circulation
can be made with the old coils by
means of nipples not less than two
inches in diameter.

TWO ILUNOIS HOUSES.

We are building two east and west
greenhouses, 25x90 feet, connected, but
with a partition between the houses.
We shall use hot water heat. We have
not decided on the boiler as yet, but
are figuring on a mercury system. The
south house will have four feet of glass
in the south wall. Both ends of the
south house will be glass and the east
end of the north house will be glass.
The north wall will be double boarded,
with building paper between. The
houses are protected on the north and
west by a hill. There will be four
4%-foot benches in each house, those
in the south house being solid, in the
north house raised. Using 3-inch pipe
for flows and 1^-inch for returns, how
many pipes will be needed and how
would you run themt We wish to
maintain a temperature of 65 to 70 de-
grees. During the months of Novem-
ber, December and January we intend
to grow a crop that requires a cool
temperature, about 45 degrees, and the
system will have to be arranged so
part of the heat in each house can be
cut out during that period. How deep
will our boiler pit have to bet What
size of flue and how high a stack will
be needed t G. & F.

To heat houses 25x90 feet to 65 de-
grees will require two 3-inch flow pipes
and twenty-three IMs-inch returns. It
would be better, however, to use three
2 ^^ -inch flow pipes and eighteen 2-inch

For the north house, with a wooden

The flow pipes can either be upon

part of the returns can be underneath,

A boiler rated at 2,800 to 3,000 square

enough for the two houses, and one of

ers, even though only three houses are
to be built at first. A boiler which
will heat two houses to 65 or 70 de-
grees would provide 45 to 50 degrees
in three or four houses, and would be
found more economical for that pur-
pose than a larger boiler. This would
also leave one boiler in reserve, to be
used in case of a breakdown of the
other.

Nearly all of the greenhouse boilers
in common use will give economical re-
sults. The use of the mercury genera-
tor makes it possible to heat the water
to a point above 212 degrees, and by
doing this the amount of radiation re-
quired can be considerably reduced. On
the other hand, the same or even a
little larger boiler capacity will be
needed and more fuel will be required
to obtain the same results as with an
open system.

The size of the flue and stack should
be carefully adjusted to the boilers.
One rule is to have the area of the
flue about one-sixth of the grate area,
for boilers of the size that will be
needed for three or four houses like
the ones described. This would mean
a stack about eighteen inches in di-
ameter. The height would depend upon
the surroundings, but forty feet would
probably answer if this would bring it
well above the neighboring buildings.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

The summer season is now at hand
and it will be a case of vacations for
a couple of months. The month ended
well, with a number of weddings, and
figures show the largest number of li-
censes ever issued for June. There
were no large weddings, but the smaller
ones used a lot of stock. Sweet peas,
bachelor's buttons and other outdoor
stock are most in demand, with indoor
stock none too good in quality. Koses
are rather plentiful, but fly open so
quickly that they are a losing proposi-
tion.

Various Notes.

The Crippled Children's Guild held its
tag day a few days ago and sold car-
nations in the place of tags. The sum
realized was $2,300. A good day's busi-
ness, but not for the florist. This, how-
ever, is much better than giving the
tag, for someone sells the carnations.

The firm of Altman & Cloudsley, styled
as the Lenox Flower Shop, has dis-
solved. Mr. Altman will continue the
business under the same name. Mr.
Cloudsley has been in the business a
number of years and has always taken
an interest in the doings of the trade.
He was connected with the William
Scott Co. before going into business for
himself.

James Longley, who has been in the
employ of W. J. Palmer & Son, has left
to take a position as manager in Erie.

R. A. S.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y. — John Ralph
recently put up the most elaborate dec-
oration ever seen at this place. It
was for a silver wedding celebration
at the mansion of W. L. Hall and
called for the use of large quantities
of Beauties, roses, peonies and carna-
tions, besides greens. Not only was it
a fine order, but it was handled so well
that it was an excellent busiuess card
for the florist. .

BOCHESTEB NOTES.

[Continued from page 28.]

Edward S. Osborne, of the Charlton
Nurseries, is chairman of the entertain-
ment committee of the Shriners' con-
, vention, to be held July 12 to 15, and
he is a busy man in consequence.

Miss Helen Bishop had the first week
of her vacation the last week in June.

E. C. Campbell's gigaa are coming
in more plentifully now.

Geo. Boucher had another unique dis-
play in his window last week. It might
be appropriately termed "The Old Gar-
den Gate."

J. B. Keller's Sons are planning a
jardiniere sale for early July, to dispose
of accumulated stocl^ at one-half price,
and to make room for fall stock.

The Hibbard funeral gave the down-
town florists one busy day last week.

"Closed Sundays during July, Au-
gust and September." Thus reads a
sign that William Keller has put up in
his store. His employees are asking,
"Will it be enforced!"

Downtown florists have booked quite
a few orders for window displays of
business houses during the Shriners'
convention,

Peter Hess is keeping up his supply
of roses during the warm weather, and
the blooms are fairly good.

Roy Ayers is again at work after sev-
eral weeks' vacation.

E. C. Campbell has put on additional
help in his store on North street.

Horace J. Head is studying voice cul-
ture this summer. He has the promise
of a good baritone voice. E. C. A.

HAIL NEAR SAGINAW, MICH.

The Wm. Eoethke Floral Co., of Sag-
inaw, Mich., in speaking of hail storms
in the early part of June, says: "The
storm of June 4 passed this city about
fifteen miles east and south, doing a
great deal of damage in the southeast-
ern part of this county and striking
Mint, Mich., where considerable dam-
age was done to the establishment of
B. Hasselbring. A heavy storm passed
over Alma, Mich., thirty miles west of
Saginaw, the same day, breaking over
half the glass of J. A. Bittner, at that
place, while St. Louis, only three miles
from Alma, where Kleinhans Bros, have
an establishment, escaped entirely.
Many smaller hail storms were noted
around Saginaw since then, all of them
severe enough to break glass used in
greenhouses, but, fortunately, all the
florists in this city, as well as Bay City,
escaped any losses."

WASHINGTON, D. 0.

The Washington Florists' Club will
open a new park at Huntsville, July 12,
the annual summer outing of the club
having been ordered for that day. The
Baltimore & Annapolis railroad has or-
dered four of its large cars placed at
the disposal of the florists, who will
take their wives and families with
them.

Members and officers of the national
society will be present, among these
being Philip Breitmeyer, former mayor
of Detroit, who is on the executive
committee of the S. A. F. Director
W. H. Smith, of the Botanic Garden,
will deliver a talk on trees, illustrating
his points with the vegetation surround-
ing him at the time.

All sorts of games and sports are
scheduled for the day. The greenhouse
men will play ball with the retailers,
and a tug-of-war is also being arranged.
The committee in charge of the out-
ing includes John Robertson, Jr., W. H,
Kimmell, Otto Bauer, Edward Schmidt
and W. A. Bolinger.

Mr. Schmidt is entertaining the mem-
bers of the Washington Florists' Club
at a crab feast this evening, July 6. The
rear of the Gude store has been con-
verted into a grotto and rathskellar for
the evening.

Offlcers of the Washington Florists'
Club are: President, Elmer C. May-
berry; vice-president, David Grillbort-
zer, Alexandria, Va.; treasurer, W. F.
Gude; secretary, O. A. C. Oehmler.

Winfield, Kan. — E. H. Gilbert, on East
Fourth avenue, has been ill for about
a year, but is now able to attend to
business again. Trade, he says, has
been fairly good.

STORE FITTING AND BEFITTINa.

An Average Store.

We are not speaking in this connec-
tion of the most expensively fitted
stores, -with marble finishing and other
special features created for an occa-
sional splendid place. Neither are we
speaking of the smallest and cheapest
stores, but of a good, average shop in
an average city, as stores of this class
handle the bulk of the trade and their
output sets the standard of work.

In selecting a store room, one which
has a front room space about twice
as long as wide is as well proportioned
as can usually be found. Its width will
not appear cramped and the length will
lend a retreating depth to a fair dis-
tance. Having planned for a wall and
woodwork finish which includes not a
decorated wall, but a neutral back-
ground for decorations, let us look to
the other features — the entrance, the
window, the up and down stairs, the
office space, the partition and the per-
manent cases.

Entrance and Show Window.

The entrance and the window form a
good half of the attractiveness or unat-
tractiveness of the store. In the greater
percentage of cases the error is made
of having the entrance in the center
and a window on each side. Frequently
these windows are too narrow for any
effective display. Have every available
foot of floor space in the one window,
^vith the entrance, on one or both sides,
flush with the back of the window or
what would correspond with the back
of the window. With the entrance set
back you have additional window space
thrown open to the street, and also a
more inviting entry. Glass to the floor,
in window and door, is now a necessity
in tasteful store fronts. In other words,
throw your whole store open to view
from the street. No more window sills
or seats or shelves.

A good front on a poor building is
better than a common entrance to a
well constructed building. These im-
provements not only make a more spa-
cious and accessible window, but a more
spacious store; and a deep or shallow
space may be used for the window dis-
play, as occasion requires or whim de-
mands.

The Window Floor — or Floors.

If possible have two floors for the
window — one of cement below, with
water supply and drainage, for water
scenes and for convenience in spraying
and watering plants, washing the glass,
etc. Plants may be massed in here and
no pots will show. The upper floor may
be made in sections and easily removed
and replaced over the cement floor. The
upper floor should bring the window dis-
play on a level with the lower edge
of the glass.

The only permanent feature in the
way of a window accessory should be

the mirror, in case one side of the win-
dow is against a wall.

Various schemes have been used for
the top of the window, but none have
proven entirely satisfactory. Each
change in the window display should,
as a general rule, have its own top
decoration, although the same one may
often be carried through several dec-
orations.

Stairway and Balcony.

Another permanent feature that
should be carefully planned is the stair-
way or stairways.) A cellar entrance,
instead of being hidden, ought to be
made an attractive feature. If a bal-
cony can be built, it will be found
many times worth its cost in the added
storage capacity which it will afford,
besides its value as a background for
decorations. There is scarcely a home
that is to be decorated where an open
stairway does not present itself, tempt-
ing your imagination to employ its best
efforts. A stairway, then, in the store
can be kept decorated and will serve as
a demonstration for customers; the same
use, also, can be made of the balcony
railing. An extension of the design of

A Separate Workroom.

Taking into consideration the adver-
tising advantages gained by doing the
making up where customers may see
it, over against the appearance of a
place where such work is done, it seems
the part of better judgment to have
a separate workroom. It is true that
work in process of making up is some-
thing of an attraction to customers,
but it is also true that pieces exhibited
in a half finished state are shown to a
disadvantage, and th^ consequent litter
detracts from the general appearance
to a greater extent than the advertising
is helpful.

The discussion of this subject will be
continued in a future issue of the paper.

FLOWER STORE EQUIPMENT.

With increased use of accessories,
such as ribbons, baskets, jardinieres,
corsage shields and pins, a change in
flower store fixtures becomes necessary.
The store of yesterday had bare walls,
save for the space occupied by ice-
box and mirrors. The store of today
has wall cases for ribbons and other
requisites, and the store of tomorrow
doubtless will contain still better pro-
vision for their display. Indeed, al-
ready in a few flower shops flowers are
not the only things sold at a profit.
One Chicago florist has fitted up the
rooms a^ove his store for the display
of the dishes that so assist the sale
of plants, and another has used the
store adjoining, furnishing it attract-
ively ana stocking it with articles in
china, pottery and cut glass that ap-
peal so strongly to people with cul-

Display Cases For the Florists' Supplies.

the stairway and balcony railing may
be used as a raihng for the cellar way.
If the stairway affords it, arrange a
cozy corner and customers' desk under
the balcony or landing. As a rule, the
stairway should not occupy a prominent
place in the front of the store. It
should present a side rather than a front
view to the entrance.

tured taste and obese pocketbooks. In
Boston, more than one flower store id
really a setting for the attractive dis-
play of Italian pottery — and those who
add these lines to flower selling seem
to add to them year by year.

The average flower store will for
now be content with a moderate stock,
such articles as may be sold with

STOKE FITTING AND SEFITTING.

An Average Store.

Wo aio not siieakiiig' in tliis idinioc-
tioii of tile most expensively fitted
stores, witli jnarble linisliinjj aiul otiiei
special feature's created for an oet-a-
sional splendid place. Neither are \\i'
speaking' of the smallest and cheapest
stores, but of a j,n)od, average shop in
an average city, as stores of this class
liandle the Inilk of the tradi^ and tlieir
output sets the standard of work.

In selecting a store room, one whicii
has a front room space about twice
as long as wide is as well proportioned
as can usually be fouml. Its width will
not app(\ar cramped and the length will
h'ud a retreating depth to a fair dis-
tance. ]Iaving planned for a wail and
\voodwork linish whicli incdudcs imt a
decorate<l wall, but a neutral back-
ground for decorations, let us lool< to
tlie other features — the eiitranc(>, the
window, the up and ilown stairs,
utlicc! space, the partitiijn and tlie
maneiit cases.

Entrance and Show Window.

the

The entrance and the window form a
;;ood h.alf (tf the attractiveness or unat
tractiveness of the store. Jri the greater
percent.age of cases tlie error is made
of luning the entrance in the center
and a window on each side. Frecpiently
these windows are too narrow for any
i'lfective display. Have every available
foot of lloiir space in the one window,
^vith th(> entrance, on on(> or lioth siib>s,
llush with the back of the windnw or
what would C(irrespon<l with the back
<if the window. \\'itii tlo' entraiici' set
back \ou have additional window space
thrown open to the street, and abo a
more iiniting entry. Tilass to the lloor,
in window and door, is now a necessity
in tasteful store fronts. In other words,
throw your whole store open to view
from the street. No more window sills
(ir seats or sliehes.

.V good Irnnt on a poor buildiia', is
better than a common entrance to a
well constructed building. These ini-
pro\ements not only make a more spa-
cious ;nul accessilde win<low, but a moie^
spaciiMis stdie; and a deep or !<hallow
space m:iy be use(l for the window dis-
play. ;(s oi-casion requires or whim de-
ma nd>^.

The Window Floor — or Floors.

If jpossible have two lloors foi' the
window — one of cement behiw, with
w.ater su]iply and drainage, for water
scenes and Idr conxeiiience in spraying
and watering plants, washing the glass.
etc. Plants may be massed in hen' and
no jiots will show. The upper floor may
be made in sections and easily removed
and rofdaced o\<m' the cement floor. The
up|ier tloor slionM bring the window liis-
])lay on a level with the lower edge
of the gl.ass.

The only pc^rm.anent featur(> in the

Wa\' of ;i window ;iCcesso|-\- should be

the mirror, in case one sidc^ of the win-
dow is against a wall.

A'arious schemes have been used for
the to}) of the window, Ijut none have
proven entirely satisfactory. Ivicli
change in the window displ.ay should,
as a general rule, have its own top
decoration, although the same one may
often be carried through several dec-
orat ions.

Stairway and Balcony.

Another ]i(>rmanent feature that
should be carefully planned is the stair-
way or stairways.; .\ cellar entrance,
instead of lieiiig hidden, ought to lie
nuHle an attractive feature. If a bal-
cony can be liuilt, it will lie found
many times worth its cost in the added
storage cap.-icity whi(di it will afford,
besides its \alne as a liackground for
decoriiti(ms. There is scarcely a home
that is to lie decorated where an open
stairway does not present itself, tempt-
ing your imaginatiim to employ its best

FLOWER STORE EQUIPMENT.

With increased use of .accessories,
sn(di as ribbons, baskets, jiirdinieres,
corsage shiidds and pins, a change in

plants or cut flowers, but it will be
found well worth while to bring these
to the front. Too many keep the fern
dishes, the jardinieres, the baskets and
the ribbons hid from view. Is it a
custom holding over from the time flo-
rists feared to charge for the acces-
sories! Nowadays we add to the price
everything we add to the cost, and
then some, and would as soon think
of donating the flowers as supplying
the basket and ribbon without making
the charge that represents the usual
percentage of profit. If we are selling
the accessories, then why not show
what we have for salef

By all means get some attractive
cases and display your wares. Others
do it, and they find it increases sales.

A GOOD MANTEL.

The accompanying illustration is re-
produced from a photograph showing a
mantel decoration for a wedding, ar-
ranged by E. M. Leavift, Elmira, N.
Y. The materials used were blooming
laurel, ferns, phoenix, kentias and other
decorative plants.

A UMIT ON ABT?

One of the pet theories of the retail
florist of the old school has been that
he was not a merchant but an artist;
that his prices should be based, like
those of any other artist, not on the
quantity of his work, but on its merit.
But gradually there has grown up a
suspicion that art may not be so mer-
chantable as flowers.

There still are many florists in the
larger cities who cater only to those
who are willing to pay large prices, but
several years ago one thoughtful leader
of the artistic school of flower retailing

concluded that it would be as well to
get a part of the trade of those persons
who wish merely to buy flowers and not
works of art. To that end he opened a
branch establishment under another
name, and not so far distant but that
the two stores would seemingly com-
pete. The venture was a success.

At a still more recent date a high-
class retailer in another city determined
to try the effect of more popular prices
to secure the growth in business which
failed to come so long as retailing was
conducted on the basis of artistic serv-
ice and artistic prices. The way the
business since has grown has been one
of the marvels of the trade.

Other high-class retailers are finding
that there is a limit on the business
which can be done on the strictly ar-
tistic basis; their sales are not increas-
ing in proportion to the general in-
crease in the flower business; they are
not getting the natural increase in the
consumption of flowers in their neigh-
borhood. As one whose work is of the
highest merit phrased it: "Our people
come to us when they want something
really good — when the name on the box
counts for possibly as much as the
flowers inside — but " when they want
flowers for their own use they often
stop at some other store — some store
that is just winning its reputation,
where the service may not be quite so
good, but where it still is good enough."

The trouble at these high-class stores
is that expenses and volume of sales
do not keep step — expenses move fast-
est. All the costs are higher — rents,
supplies, miscellaneous and labor, es-
pecially labor. The capable help ex-
pects frequent raises in wages, and must
have them, for tempting offers are often
coming to them from stores that are do-

ing increasing volume and which seek
to improve service, to the end that the
increase in trade may keep on.

"The old theory of charging for the
florists' artistic abilities," said an ex-
perienced and thoroughly capable de-
signer, in a discussion the other day,
"is like a firecracker on the fifth of
July — either exploded or incapable of
being turned into money. Nowadays we
don't sell art — ^we jBell flowers and
throw in the art, along with the box.
There are a certain number of people
who will pay the cost of exelusiveness,
of high-class service and all the inci-
dentals which go to make the measured
success of the hightoned store, but it is
a fact that the number of this class of
flower buyers is increasing nowhere
nearly so fast as the number of those
who will buy flowers at moderate prices
and accept moderately good service. It
is a fact, also worthy of careful
thought, that the expense of doing
business does not increase in proportion
to the increase of the volue of business.
In other words, when one does only a
small trade he must inevitably charge
higher prices than where a business of
several times the volume is done. 'Con-
sequently, the store doing the large
volume can afford to give first-class
service, including all the artistic touches
that first-class service implies, and do it
without making any appreciable charge
for the service.

* ' More and more each year the flower
business is getting away from the idea
of selling service and is building upon
the theory of selling flowers. When one
sells enough flowers the old margins
of profit become no longer necessary,
and those flower businesses are growing
fastest today which are based on the
theory of large sales and small profits. ' '

Food for thought in that. Is there a
limit on art? Is it sooner reached than
the limit on the sale of flowers? Or is
there any limit on flower selling?

STOBAOE FOB CUT FLOWEBS.

We contemplate building an office and *
salesroom this season and are in a
quandary as to which will prove the
better method of storage for our cut
flowers. We have these two plans in
mind: To build a refrigerator of suf-
ficient size in one end of the room, or
dig a cellar about eight feet deep and
use this instead. Can anyone in the
trade who may have had some experi-
ence along these lines give us any in-
formation as to which plan will prove
the more satisfactory the year through?
Our experience has been that flowers out
of a refrigerator do not keep so long
as those from a cool cellar. On the
other hand, at this season of the year
flowers get soft and rot off sooner in a
cellar than in a refrigerator. Could
you offer any suggestions as to the best
manner of ventilating a deep cellar.
Would you suggest a cement bottom iu
it? L.

The inquiry does not give suflScient
information as to the circumstances in
the present case to afford a basis for
other than a general reply. Usually it
is as the correspondent says: the flowers
keep better if stored in a cellar, so long
as the cellar is cool enough. The trouble
lies in that the cellar may not keep
suflSiciently cool in hot weather^ if it
does, you can not beat it, either for
care of the stock or for cost. As for the
concrete floor, it probably will be nec-
essary because of the use of water in the
rellar, but I think a concreted cellar al-

ways is warmer than one in which there
is no concrete — the coolest cellar I ever
knew was dug in clay and had earth
walls, for the building over it extended
far beyond the pit. Unless your situa-
tion is peculiar, you ought to get a
natural circulation sufficient to keep the
air sweet; you don't want a draft. If
you require an air change, the American
Blower Co., Detroit, makes a little elec-
trically driven affair that will pump the
old air out of any room, in which case
nature puts fresh air in again without
creating a draft.

The reference to a salesroom makes it
appear likely that both a cellar and a
refrigerator are what would be best in
this case. If stock is not on display
in the salesroom it isn't likely that cus-
tomers will ever care to go into the
cellar to look at it, and I know by ex-
perience that people won 't care to wait
while the stock is brought up for in-
spection, one pot at a time. If you are
retailing in your salesroom, by all means
get a good display refrigerator and
keep your best stock in it; the surplus
and the seconds can go to the cellar.

A PLEA FOB MORE BOOM.

A common mistake made by planters
is to set plants too close together, thus
preventing their proper development.
Tomatoes, for instance, are frequently
planted less than eighteen inches apart,
when there should be a space of at least
four feet between the plants. And in
this city, and many others, there are
trees on the public streets, and in pri-
vate grounds, that have attained a di-
ameter of more than ten inches, that
are standing less than eight feet from
each other, while the interval should be
thirty-five feet or more, which would
give them room for symmetrical growth.

The illustration on this page, repro-
duced from a photograph, shows a plant
of Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora
that measures eighteen and one-half
feet across, while the writer recently
noticed a bed six feet in diameter, on
a lawn here, in which twenty-three
plants of the same variety had been set,
no doubt with the expectation that they
would grow and do well.

In planting trees and shrubs, it is
best to use young and small specimens;

but those who do or direct the work
should realize that at maturity they
will be much larger, and should allow
them a liberal amount of room in which
to develop. W, T. Bell.

PLANTS FOB FLOODED GBOUND.

What tree, vegetable or flower will
grow on ground that overflows six or
seven feet every two or three years?
The water stays on it a week or less.

8. G.

Much would depend on whether the
flooding occurs in winter or summer.
Few trees would be killed or even seri-
ously injured by a flooding in winter
and many would not mind a similar
flood in summer. Shrubs would be
likely to suffer severely from summer
floods, but if they come when the plants
have no foliage little damage will be
likely to result. There are few vege-
tables which would survive a week's
flooding. If in growth at the time, all
would probably be destroyed. Few of
the hardy herbaceous plants would be
killed by even a week's flood if it came
in winter and the ground dried out well
afterwards. Of course, if the ground

after being flooded had a, thick deposit
of mud left on it, the likelihood of dam-
age would be greatly increased,

SOIL FOB PALMS AND FEBNS.

I am a retail florist and have a small
conservatory in the rear of my store.
I have quite a few ferns and palms
jeft over from last season and should
like to grow them on for next fall.
One of Philadelphia's leading growers,
advised me to use the following com-
post: Two and one-half barrows of
soil, one barrow of cow manure, one
bucket of sheep manure, one bucket of
bone, one barrow of horse manure and
oue bucket of blood. I should mu«h
like to know whether these propor-
tions are correct. M. J. C.

Such a compost as that suggested
might be vised for a top-dressing on
palms that are much potbound, but
would not be quite a safe preparation
to use as a potting soil for palms and
ferns, for the reason that the propor-
tion of nitrogen is too large. It would
be better to leave out the dried blood
entirely and to use half the quantity
of the other fertilizers. You would
thus have a compost that would be
abundantly rich for all ordinary pur-
poses. W. H. T.

A LIMIT ON ART?

()iic of the ]iet theories ol' the I'etail

that his jiiici's shouM be based, like
those ot' any other .artist, not on the
iinantity of his work, but on its merit.
But orjulually theie has oidw ii up a
suspicion that art may not be so mer
cliant.able as llowers.

There still are nuiny llorists in the
larj^t-r cities Avho cater oidy to thoso

At a still more recent date a high-

"The old theory of charging for tho
florists' artistic abilities," said an ex-
pei'ieiiced ;iiid thoroughly cajjable de-
signiM-, in a discussion the other day,
"is like a lirecracker on the fifth of
,Iuly — either exploded or incajiable of
being turned into money. Nowadays we
ilon't soil art — we noil flowers and
throw in the art. along with the box.
There .are ;i certain number of ])eople

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

Advantages of Indoor Culture.

The recent hot weather could not by
any stretch of imagination be classed
as chrysanthemum weather, since the
mfim, as everyone knows, is a cold-
blooded plant. Our indoor system of
culture for mums never fails to elicit
surprise, if not sarcasm, from the vis-
itors from other countries, who, living
under different climatic conditions, can-
not conceive why we grow mums in-
doors when the temperature rises so
high in the summer time. This method
of culture has, of course, been evolved
by the conditions under which the mum
grower has been obliged to produce his
stock.

It has been found that plants in the
restricted space under glass can be kept
sprayed and handled much better than
they can outdoors. The insect pests
also can be much more readily and
cheaply controlled in the greenhouse,
and this, I learn, is a serious item
where the chinch bug is a bad pest.
Perhaps the chief reasons why the
plants are grown entirely under glass
is because they make so much better
growth and are not subject to the rust
which almost invariably attacks them,
at least in the eastern states, when
kept outdoors.

It is true that many amateurs still
grow their plants outdoors in different
states, but the majority of the commer-
cial growers have found that for eco-
nomical handling the plants must be
in the comparatively narrow space of
the greenhouse and handy to the water
supply.

Treatment in Hot Weather.

Such weather as we have lately been
"enjoying" should find the mum
houses as widely open as possible, both
night and day, and the operator should
spray the plants, paths, roofs and every
part of the house copiously several
times a day. This will reduce the tem-
perature many degrees every time it is
done, and the plants will show their
appreciation of such treatment by put-
ting out fine, healthy foliage.

A careful grower will soon learn to
spray his plants and house frequently
without getting the soil in the benches
too wet. A nice degree of moisture, of
course, should be had at all times in
the soil, but do not try to turn the mum
into an aquatic, or the foliage will soon
begin to turn yellow and run small. Ex-
perts all agree that mums, like human
beings, keep in better condition when
they have to hunt a little for their food
and drink.

The growers who still have cuttings
in the sand, trying to root them for late
planting, have their own troubles at
this season of the year. The cuttings
must be kept from wilting, and yet if
watier is used too freely they will rot
off; hence, between the two horns of the
dilemma, comparatively few growers
make a success of late rooted cuttings.

The Early Varieties.

The early varieties should now be
making good growth, and if flowers are
desired early in September the ques-
tion of buds will soon begin to be of
importance. The varieties that will
flower from July buds are, of course,
comparatively limited in number,
though some few, such as Golden Glow
and the new Smith's Advance, will
flower at any season. It was my pleas-
ure more than three weeks ago to see
a splendid lot of Golden Glow in full
bloom with Dailledouze Bros., of Flat-
bush, L. I. The stems of these, for Gol-
den Glow, were fine, running from four
to four and one-half feet high; the
flowers also were fine. As a novelty
such a sight M^as appealing, but as a
commercial proposition in any great
quantity it would not pay, as there is
a proper time for everything and June
does not seem to be the time for large
flowered mums.

Many florists will recall the excellent
flowers of Smith 's Advance staged at
the convention in Eochester last
August. They were excellent, but even
at that time there is really not much
call for them, with the quantity of
white asters flooding the market.

My ideal of the early variety is the
flower that is ready for market just
about the time the first frost hits the
pumpkin. Then the market is ready
and waiting for a change; business is
moving; the heated spell is over and
everyone is beginning to take a deeper
and more serious interest in life.

Flowers From July Buds.

One can figure from eight to ten
weeks for the development of the flow-
er; therefore a bud taken about the
middle of July will, all things being
agreeable, be ready for market from"^
September 15 to 22, and this, gentle
reader, under ordinary conditions, is
early enough.

The varieties that will develop per-
fectly from a bud taken from July 14
onward, so far as my experience goes,
are about as follows: In yellow, Golden
Glow, Yellow October Frost, Monrovia;
pink. Marquis de Montmort, followed
shortly afterward by Gloria; white.
White October Frost and White Cloud.
This list will probably be added to by
some growers, but the foregoing may
be considered the best in their respec-
tive classes for the earliest flowers.

The early varieties should now be
tied up, to have the stems perfectly
straight, and a sharp lookout should be
kept for insects, so that when the flow-
ering period arrives there will be no
difficulty. This applies particularly to
red spider, which has a habit of weav-
ing a web underneath the foliage and
frequently destroying the flowers if it
has not been cleaned out before the
bud begins to show color.

Chas. H. Totty.

HABDY BOSES.

The flowering period for the hybrid
perpetual section of roses is over now,
except in the most northerly latitudes.
There are some varieties, including Mrs.
John Laing, Mme. Gabriel Luizet, Frau
Karl Druschki, Mrs. Sharman Crawford
and the old Jacqueminot, which flower
more or less all summer, not to the ex-
tent of the hybrid teas, but still afford-
ing quite a number of nice flowers, es-
pecially in August and September. The
plants will be improved now if they are
looked over, so as to remove any faded
'flowers and fruits, as well as any Man-
etti or seedling briar stocks. Eub these
latter out clean, so that they will not
trouble again. It is indeed surprising
how many florists and gardeners do not
know these stocks from the roses, and
many a vigorous looking rose which

never blooms is Manetti stock pure and
simple. Own-root stock has the ad-
vantage of not being troubled with
these weakening shoots, but they lack
the vigor of budded plants and are
much shorter lived, especially in the
colder states.

The hybrid teas have been in fine
bloom and they are really the coming
roses. There is such an infinite variety of
them, in such beautiful colors, and they
bloom so persistently that we forget
that they are a little less hardy than the
hybrid perpetuals, and we are prepared
to give them the additional winter pro-
tection needed. Fine in June were such
varieties as Caroline Testout, Gruss an
Teplitz, always loaded with its bril-
liant scarlet crimson flowers; Bessie
Brown; Betty, of a beautiful ruddy gold
color; Mrs. Aaron Ward, a fine outdoor
variety; Wellesley, fine; Richmond,
Edith Gifford, Killarney, White Killar
ney, the old La France, Mme. A. Chat-
cnay. Viscountess Folkestone, Dorothy

These hybrid teas do much better in
light soil, even if quite sandy.

The hybrid perpetuals like a good wa-
ter supply and the way they bloom if

well treated is almost a revelation. We
find that plants worked on the Manetti
or seedling briar are much more vig-
orous and winter vastly better than
such as are on their own roots.

UNDBIED BLOOD AS FEBTILIZEB.

There is a slaughter house near here,
where we can get the blood free of
cost. Would it be a good idea to take
care of it and would it pay I How
much would you advise to use? We
grow carnations, mums and a few pot-
ted plants. G. N. G.

While dried blood is a good plant
food, on account of the high percent-
age of nitrogen it contains, yet I
doubt whether it would pay you to
save the fresh material. You could
hardly expect to prepare it as well as
you can buy it, without going to a
good deal of trouble and expense. The
money you would have to spend in
equipping your place, so as to be able
to prepare it right, would buy all the
dried blood you would dare to use for
a good many years. A. F. J. B.

BUST ON FIELD CABNATIONS.

Will you kindly let me know what
I can do with rajr carnations in the
field? They are becoming affected
with rust. H. S.

There is little you can do to combat
rust on carnations in the field. In a
normal season, conditions are usually
such as to prevent the spreading of
this disease, but when they are favor-
able to the development of the spores
you can do but little, because you have
no control over the atmospheric con-
ditions. I would advise you to bench
your carnations as soon as you can,
if you think the rust bad enough to
menace the health of the plants, but
do not allow a few pustules of rust
to stampede you. A. F. J. B.

BUDS FULL OF THBIPS.

I am sending you by mail, under
separate cover, a sample of my carna-
tions. This trouble appeared to a small
extent two years ago. Last winter,
after Christmas, the carnations all be-
came worthless. I pulled most of them
up April 1. At that time I sent some
samples to Cornell University, but was
not informed as to what the disease
was. While most of the plants looked
healthy, the tip of the leaves would
turn brown where the bud should come,
and the bud or center of the stem would
rot. Many of the buds would form, but
would not open; others would open, but

The specimens forwarded show no
other trouble than a horrible case of

thrips. The buds were full of them, and
I feel sure, from your description, that
they are the source of all your trouble.
Next fall, about three weeks after
you plant in your carnations, get a
compressed air sprayer and a supply of
one of the high-grade nicotine extracts.
Then start spraying your plants once
each week as a preventive, using the
nicotine in strength as directed on the
label. I think you will find that you
will thus get rid of this trouble.

I have been unable to get any light
on the subject of your inquiry. Your
description of the trouble would sug-
gest thrips, but, inasmuch as you are
positive that it is not caused by that
insect, that theory is eliminated. We
grew May Day one season, but had no
such trouble as yours. I inquired of
several growers who have grown it for
some seasons, but none could give a
different solution than thrips. One
grower has suggested, however, that the
trouble might be caused by too much
overhead watering. A. F. J. B.

SPIBiEAS NOT FLOWEBINO.

Will you please tell me about the
culture of spiraeas? I tried to force
some for Decoration day, but they
turned brown before they were half
opened. What should I do with the
plants now? A. L. S.

BLOOMS OPEN IMPEBFECTLY.

The blooms of my May Day carna-
tions have not been opening right for
the last three weeks. As the buds show
color and are expanding, the petals
have a curled or somewhat withered
appearance and the blooms open imper-
fectly. They are planted in the same
house and under the same conditions
as Kose-pink Enchantress, Beacon,
Fenn, Mrs. Patten, Winsor, etc., which
are not affected. My soil is not heavy,
but a rich compost, containing both
stable and cow manure, and about six
weeks ago I used a moderate mulch of
pulverized sheep manure. This is not

Spiraeas are among the easiest of
plants to force. For Memorial day, es-
pecially, their culture is of the sim-
plest, the main requirements being an
abundant water supply, liquid manure
occasionally and the necessary heat to
flower them on time. They will not
stand heavy fumigations. Tobacco
smoke will spoil both the foliage and
flowers. It is difficult to see how you
could fail to bloom them, unless it was
owing to an insufficient water supply.
There are few plants which require as
much moisture at the roots as spiraeas
when growing.

You can, if you wish, plant the spi-
raeas outside in well enriched ground,
but they must be left two years before
they can be successfully forced again.
You can grow bigger and finer clumps
than any you can purchase. C. W.

OHElVnSTRY OF rEETIUZERS.

[A paper by W. S. McGce, of the Pulverized
Manure Co., read before the Chicago Florists'
Club, July 6, 1911.]

It seems to me that every florist
should have some knowledge of chem-
istry. I am convinced, too, that he can
easily acquire an amount sufficient to be
of practical value. The more he knows
of the science of chemistry, the more he
will he able to learn from the published
reports of investigations carried on at
our experiment stations and by other
growers. Theoretical knowledge, added
to the grower's practical Knowledge,
will give him a degree of independence
of thought and action impossible to the
grower who merely follows custom with-
out understanding why.

Two Brands of Bone Meal.

Let us take the case of a florist who
wishes to buy a ton of bone meal. He
has before him catalogues from two
equally reputable supply houses. Cata-
logue A shows a bone meal containing,
let us say, nitrogen 2.50 to 3.30 per cent
and phosphoric aciu 23 to 26 per cent,
while catalogue B shows a bone meal
containing, we will assume, 3 to 3.8
per cent nitrogen and 22 to 25 per cent
of phosphoric acid. One brand runs
higher in nitrogen, while the other runs
higher in phosphoric acid, and there
would be a natural tendency to choose
the one with the higher total content.

To make a fair comparison, however,
we should compute the value of the dif-
ferent ingredients of each fertilizer.
For this purpose we will use the values
assigned by the authorities at the In-
diana State Agricultural Experiment
Station, These are taken from their bul-
letin for 1910 and give the following
values: Nitrogen, 17^ cents per
pound; total phosphoric acid in bone
and tankage, 3% cents per pound; in
mixed fertilizers containing nitrogen, in-
soluble phosphoric acid, 2 cents per
pound; in fertilizers not containing ni-
trogen, no value is placed on insoluble
phosphoric acid; soluble potash (KjO),
6 cents.

A Chemical Comparison.

Using the above prices in our com-
parison of the two brands of bone meal,
we obtain the following results: Brand
A, with 2% per cent nitrogen, has 50 .
pounds of nitrogen to the ton and this
is worth $8.75; the phosphoric acid, 23
per cent, runs 460 pounds per ton and
this is worth, at 3^4 cents, $16.10, mak-
ing a total for this brand of $24.85.
For the B brand we find the 3 per cent
of nitrogen worth $10.50, and the 22
per cent of phosphoric acid worth
$15.40, giving a total for brand B of
$25.90, a ditference of $1.05 per ton in
favor of the brand with the lower total
content.

Other points, however, must be con-
sidered before final choice is made. The
1 per cent of difference in amount of
phosphoric acid seems larger than the

*4 of 1 per cent of difference in amount
of nitrogen, but such is not the case.
The one per cent is only 1/22 of the
phosphoric acid content, while the i^
of 1 per cent is % of the nitrogen con-
tent. A knowledge of what the soil
already contains and what the crop nat-
urally requires would be of value here
and should influence the grower's deci-
sion.

About Published Analyses.

I find, upon looking over various cat-
alogues, that all do not follow the same
plan in giving the analysis of fertilizers.
Some analyses give the amount of am-
monia, but do not mention nitrogen;
some give the amount of nitrogen, but
do not mention ammonia, and some give
the percentage of both of these ingredi-
ents. In order to compare any two fer-
tilizers of the same general character,
we must first reduce the analyses to sim-
ilar terms.

If ammonia is given, we can find the
percentage of nitrogen by multiplying
by 14/17, or 82.3 per cent. To change
from nitrogen to ammonia, multiply by
17/14, or 121.4 per cent. Ammonia is
a chemical compound containing nitro-

gen; hence nitrogen is always present in
any fertilizer containing ammonia or
ammonia compounds. Ammonia is made
up, by weight, of fourteen parts of ni-
trogen and three parts of hydrogen;
hence the above rules for reducing from
the one to the other.

In one catalogue I find four different
expressions, all referring to phosphoric
acid and all on the same page. In one
case a fertilizer seems to contain bone
phosphate and phosphate acid; in a sec-
ond case phosphate acid alone is named;
a third has bone phosphate alone and
the fourth phosphoric acid. This lack
of uniformity makes some brands of fer-
tilizers appear at a disadvantage when
nothing of the kind was intended. Phos-
phorus, like nitrogen, is a chemical ele-
ment incapable of reduction to any sim-
pler form. Some authorities insist that
in all published analyses the percentage
of the element should be given, rather
than that of some chemical compound
containing the element.

A Practical Distinction.

In order to show what might happen
to an analysis when we apply to it just
a little chemistry and just a little arith-
metic, let us take the case of a blood
and bone fertilizer advertised by a per-
fectly reliable house and with presum-
ably honest intentions. The analysis
shows this article to contain: Am-
monia, 6ii^ to 7 per cent; bone phos-
phate, 20 to 30 per cent. The ammonia,
6% to 7 per cent, reduces to nitrogen
5% to 5% per cent, and the bone phos-
phate, 20 to 30 per cent, reduces to
phospnoric acid 9 to 13 1/^ per cent, the
phosphoric acid constituting usually
about 45 per cent of bone phosphate.

Cold Storage Lilies.

During July is the time to secure
bulbs of cold storage longiflorum lilies
where they are wanted in flower from
Thanksgiving to Christmas. As soon as
the bulbs are received, pot them. If
they are left lying around for even two
or three days in hot weather, they will
lose much of their vitality. Single
bulbs can go in 5-inch or 6-inch pots,
according to their size. After potting,
place in a cellar or pit, where the sun
cannot strike and where the tempera-
ture is quite a little lower than out-
doors, especially during the day. Give
a soaking of water. Then cover with
moss or some other light mulch. The
bulbs should not need much water until
they start to grow and even then it
should be applied somewhat sparingly
until the pots are well tUled with roots.
If a cellar is not at disposal, place the
pots on a bed of atities in a coldframe
and place board shutters, not glass
sashes,, over them.

Speclosum lilies in winter are as yet
something of. a nov^elty, except in the
largest cities. They make a welcome
addition to the cut flowers we have at

the darkest season of the year. Bulbs
of both speciosum album and mbrum
are procurable from some specialists
during July and August. To have them
in bloom for Christmas, start as soon as
possible. The crop of speciosum album
was last season deficient and they are
in short supply this season. Colored
varieties are, however, more plentiful.
The treatment of these does not differ
greatly from that of L. longifiorum, only
the speciosums do better grown three
to five bulbs in 8-inch pots, rather than
singly in smaller pots. They also do
better if not subjected to hard forcing
like the longiflorums; 55 to 60 degrees
at night should not be exceeded in
winter.

Freesias.

About the middle of July Freesia
bulbs are usually procurable from the
growers or dealers, and where a good
early batch is wanted they should be
started at once in pots or pans. Some
growers grow along bulblets and raise
their own stock. These bulbs will be
well ripened and the largest should be
selected for the initial batch. Flats are

EVOLUTION AND POLLINATION.

[A paper by A. C. Beal, of Cornell University,
Itbnca, N. Y., read at the Philadelphia conven-
tion of the National Sweet Pea Society of
America, June 29 and 30, 1911.]

During the first 100 years of the
history of the sweet pea only three
varieties or colors were known; name-
ly, purple with blue wings, pale red
with white wings (Fainted Lady), and
white. The black and scarlet appeared
in the last years of the eighteenth cen-
tury. It is quite probable that the
scarlet was far from what we conceive
a scarlet sweet pea should be today.
In Martyn's edition of Miller's Gar-
deners' Dictionary, 1807, we find the
white, the Old Painted Lady, the New
Painted Lady, the latter with a rose-
colored standard and pale rose wings.
Old Purple, and a variety having a
violet keel and wings and purple stand-
ard. Sayers describes the scarlet sweet
pea as Lathyrus flore rosea, while the
Painted Lady is described as ' ' fleshed ' '
color. From this we may conclude
that the New Painted Lady, a rose-
colored variety, was sometimes called
scarlet.

Improvement in Color.

The first of the striped varieties was
offered in 1837 and since that date this
group has been augmented until the
classification now includes striped and
flaked (red and rose, purple and blue).
This classification, however, does not
express the real range of color in this
group, for we have crimson stripes —
for instance, America; red and rose
stripes on white — Aurora; red and rose
stripes on primrose — Jessie Cuthbert-
son; mauve stripes — Gaiety; blue
stripes — Prince Olaf and Hester; ma-
roon-flaked, like Senator. The Amer-
ican growers have introduced the ma-
jority of the best varieties of this
group, among which are America, Au-
rora, Columbia, Daybreak, Gray Friar,
Juanita, Pink Friar, Ilamona and Wa-
wona. Many of these are now pro-
curable in the waved form.

The Blues and Pinks.

The variety Blue Edged, the probable
forerunner of the picotee forms, ap-
peared in 1860. This was a white va-
riety with a well-defined blue edge, a
probable hybrid between L. Magella-
nicus and a white variety of L. odora-
tus. The variety, at all events, was
the first to exhibit a distinct blue color
among sweet peas. Later it was known
as Blue Hybrid, under which name it
won an award from the Eoyal Horti-
cultural Society. Sutton & Son ' sent
out Butterfly in 1878, which somewhat
resembled Blue Edged. The so-called
blues that followed were Invincible
Blue, Madame Carnot or Imperial
Bliie, 'and Captain of the Blues, all of
which had considerable red in the
standard. It was not until 1899 that

a good blue, in Navy Blue (Lord Nel-
son), appeared.

The first of the soft pink varieties
was Crown Princess of Prussia, 1868-9.
Isa Eckford, Peach Blossom and Lovely
are the improved varieties of this color.

Improvement in Form.

The efforts of the breeders of sweet
peas have not all been directed toward
the development of new shades of
color. The form of the flower has also
received attention. The earliest repre-
sentations of sweet pea flowers show a
loose, irregular bloom, with the edges
of the standard turned back; that is,
reflexed. Otten, if not always, the
standard had the notch in the apex
and frequently in the margin. The
standard, which is the principal part
of the flower, has been improved in sub-
stance and the notches have been elim-
inated. The old type had a narrow
base, and with the improvement noted
has come a filling out of the lower
edges of the standard so that the out-
line approaches a circle.

In their efforts to secure varieties
of the best expanded or open form,
many beautiful hooded varieties were
originated. While this form was con-
demned as inartistic by many sweet
pea specialists, it nevertheless secured
a permanent place. Prima Donna,
Lovely and Countess of Badnor are of
this form.

The Spencer Type.

When many had reached the conclu-
sion that no further advances in either
size or form were to be expected and
that the efforts of future breeders
would be directed toward securing new
colors and more flowers per stem, Na-
ture demonstrated that she had other
surprises in store.

In 1901 the Countess Spencer variety
was exhibited and caused quite a sen-
sation. The National Sweet Pea So-
ciety awarded it the highest honors.
This variety was distinct from all pre-
ceding introductions, because the stand-
ard and wings waved. The flowers
were large, and borne in fours on
stout stems. It was introduced in 1904.

The parentage of this variety has
been given as (Lovely x Triumph,
1898) X Prima Donna, 1899. However,
there appeared in 1905 a variety named
Gladys Unwin, which was the same
color, but smaller and less waved than
Countess Spencer, and which was a se-
lection from Prima Donna without
knorwn crossing being effected. These
varieties, however, were forerunners of
the new type which revolutionized
sweet pea culture in England and has
revived and quickened the interest in
America.

Pollination.

We have previously noted that the

pistil and stamens are enclosed in the
keel formed by the partial coalescing
of the two lower petals. A slight pres-
sure upon the base of the keel will
cause the pistil to appear suddenly in
the tip of the keel. The stigmatic sur-
face is usually covered with pollen,
and at the same time the stamens ap-
pear to view. If the pressure is re-
leased, these organs disappear as sud-
denly from view.

Process of Self -Fertilization.

Those who are looking for flower
adaptations for the promotion of cross-
fertilization would say at once that
here we have a mechanism which is
operated by the weight of a bee alight-
ing on the keel, and the pistil and
stamens rise up, striking it upon the
body, receiving and giving pollen.
Thus, as the insect visits flower after
flower, natural cross-fertilization is car-
ried on.

This, however, is not the case. In
the first place, if we examine flowers
in the bud stage, we find the pollen
ripe. The position and condition of
the stigma changes, for before the ma-
turation of the pollen the stigma is be-
low the anthers. A day or two later
the stigma has risen to a position
among the anthers and is viscid enough
to hold the pollen grains.

In another day or two it has grown
beyond the anthers. Self-fertilization
has taken place and the development
of the legume begun. This process has
taken place before the flower is fully
open. Some time later the pistil is
pushed out of the protecting keel by
the developing pod.

Not Dependent on the Bees.

Such is the normal fertilization of
sweet peas, as observed upon examina-
tion of the flowers. Attention has been
called to the fact that the sweet pea
stood practically still for 150 years,
and the question is asked how this can
be reconciled with natural cross-fer-
tilization.

During the writer's experience in
the field last season for three months,
studying varieties and recording ob-
servations, not a single instance oc-
curred of a bee alighting upon the keel
of the flower, nor were any observed
crawling between the wings. AH- the
bees observed visiting the flowers
alighted on the outside of the wings,
and in practically every case thrust
the proboscis down between the right
wing and the standard. In this con-
nection it may be mentioned that the
bees did not show a preference for any
particular color, but flew from row to
row and from color-section to color-
section.

T. H. Dipnall has observed that bees
attack sweet pea flowers. The bee, a
yellow and white banded species,
alighted on the calyx, crawled around
to a certain position, and cut a hole
through the calyx so that it could
thrust its proboscis through and suck
the nectar at the base of the pod. The
reason is not clear why the insect pre-
fers one side of the flower, since the
structure is similar on each side.

It is, to be remembered in this dis-
cussion that sweet peas grown under
glass in winter are not visited by bees,
but every flower in sunny weather will
set seed if the blooms are not kept
cut.

A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT.

(An address by Paul Huebner, landscape gar-
dener for the Reading Railroad System, before
the Florists' Club of I'hiladelphia, July 11, 1911.1

It is a good many years since I last
had the honor of addressing you on the
subject of railroad gardening. At that
time — some eight or ten years ago —
there were not so many of the railroad
systems of the country that had adopted
this policy in which my company was
one of the pioneers. A good many more
have taken it up since then, and you
will no doubt be glad to learn that the
Reading has taken no backward step,
but has kept steadily along on the same
broad and enlightened policy as it first
mapped out.

Why Railroads Garden.

You understand, of course, that the
hard-headed gentlemen who manage
railroads do so from a dollars and cents
standpoint — and look on the embellish-
ment of station grounds and approaches
from the dollars and cents standpoint
only — and not from an a'sthetic point
of view. They realize that it attracts
travel and settlement and by so doing
not only helps current revenue but im-.
proves the value of their real estate.
Nevertheless, these managers are to be
fommended for their breadth of view
and for their far-seeing, good policy —
even from those of you who work for
the advancement of horticulture in a
spirit of altruism for the public good.
The community which the Reading
serves are given constant pleasure bj'
this policy and are inspired thereby to
efforts of their own along horticultural
lines. The character of the architecture
of the stations has been greatly im-
proved of late years and the surround-
ings have to conform. Improved grounds
and improved stations are two of the
best advertisements a road could have
and worth far more than their cost in
that condition. Safety and convenience
come first, of course, but elegance is
equally desirable if the cost be not too
heavy.

Best Stock for This Use.

I am often asked: "Which is best for
work of this kind, shrubbery or bed-
ding plants?" In reply to that I always
answer that there is plenty of room for
both and I use both freely. When and
where depends, of course, on the size
of the spaces to be planted — also on the
surroundings. Shrubbery is generally
most effective when used as a back-
ground. When in flower it is very at-
tractive. But for glowing effects and
striking pictures that will make the
passengers sit up and take notice, and
carry with them strong impressions,
strong enough to make them talk about
it when they go home, be their home near
or far, there is nothing like the bril-
liant cannas and geraniums and other
tender plants which make these erst-
while dull and unsightly locations a
glory all summer long and carry the
fame of the Reading to the ends of the

earth. I receive letters from all over
the country from passengers who write
the company asking as to what canna
that was or what geranium that was,
etc., showing very clearly the strong
impression made, even from a flying
train at sixty miles an hour, and the
good advertisement the company gets
out of it.

While there is no great change in the
policy of the road as to ray depart-
ment or in my management and meth-
ods during the ten years that have
elapsed since I last addressed your
club, there is soitte change in the
varieties of plants we use. For in-
stance, in geraniums we used then
Mme. Thibaut for pink, La Pilot for
scarlet and La Favorite for white. Now
these best ones of their day have been
superseded by La Glorieuse as pink,
John Doyle as scarlet and Mme. Buch-
ner as "white. We also use Abbe
Schaeffer as a sacrlet and Jean Viaud
as a pink. These varieties are not
only better flowers than the old ones,
but they are also more constant bloom-
ers. Salleroi is still our standby as an
edging.

In cannas we are now using Fuerst
Bismarck, King Humbert, Mme. Berat,
Mme. Poitevine, Philadelphia, Admiral
Avellan, Columbia, Robusta and Italia.
We still use Florence Vaughan a little,
but for a good yellow Richard Wallace
is the best of them all.

Bom« Effective Beds.

We have made recently some effective
beds with a combination of ricinus,
caladium and abutilon, and of course
we still use the coleus largely. A big
coleus bed laid out in a design is cer-
tainly a gorgeous sight. The big bed
at Trenton Junction, for instance, is a
good example of what can be done with
the coleus. A bed like this will take
3,000 plants, but they are easy to grow
and are inexpensive. The shrubbery in
the background helps this situation,
and of course the lively green of the
surrounding lawn is indispensable.
Imagine what a dreary, uninteresting
place this would be without this blaze
of color framed in green and harmon-
iously toned by its background of shrub-
bery.

Take again the little triangle at the
terminal station in Philadelphia. This
is but a little patch, but it is the
glimpse of the unexpected which
catches the eye and pleases the traveler.
This bed is made of coleus, caladiums,
achyranthes and alocasia. The clover-
leaf bed in the same patch is of gera-
niums edged with ageratum, with a yuc-
ca in the center. The work at Langhorne
Station is distinctive, as it has a fine
perspective, and has an excellent back-
ground of privet hedging. Geranium
.John Doyle is used freely here in con-
junction with coleus beds.

Privet for Hedging.

I am still a strong believer in the
privet for hedging. We use the Cali-
fornia variety and find little trouble
with it winter-killing, about which some
complain. It has proven satisfactory
with us, being a quick grower, a beau-
tiful glossy green, and absolutely free
from all insect pests. We use this
largely for windbreaks, to prevent snow
drifting in winter, as well as for orna-
mental purposes. Even when it does
freeze it comes up again from the roots.

Railroad Gardening — The Station of the Reading R. R.^ at Reading, ^a.

I do not use the barberry except in
mixed shrubberies. I use the whole
shrub family, but the various spiraeas
and deutzias are our favorites. We
also use the hardy hydrangea profuse-
ly. Philadelphus, weigelia, hibiscus and
Pyrus Japonica are also freely used. In
lilacs we like Marie Le Graye best for
white, and for a dark one Souvenir de
Antoine Spaeth. Mme. Lemoine, a
double white one, is also fine. I gen-
erally mingle evergreens in with the
shrubbery, which latter are cut out
gradually, leaving the evergreens.

Trees are not largely used, chiefly be-
cause they would obstruct signals, an
important matter, but where they are
permissible the Norway maple is the
one preferred. It is the most uniform
and is not so apt to break if kept
reasonably trimmed.

We trim our hedges twice a season
only for outside points, but elsewhere,
where they have to be always neat and
uniform, three or four times at least.

Evidence That It Pays.

And now, gentlemen, coming back
to the title of my story, "Eailroad Gar-
dening as a Paying Investment," I
think the fact that my company has kept
the system up enthusiastically during
all the twenty-one years I have been in
its employ and is as keen for it as ever
is striking evidence that it has found
it a paying investment. The territory
over which I have direct charge runs
from Philadelphia to Williamsport;
from Reading to Harrisburg; from
Reading to Allentown; from Phila-
delphia to Chestnut Hill; from Phila-
delphia to Bound Brook; from Phila-
delphia to Bethlehem; from Camden to
.\tlantic City and Cape May, and sev-
eral other branches. If any of you
feel like getting away from the Bmoke»tt
dust and din of the city and settling
down among healthful and pleasant
surroundings — and have the price —
first take a run along any of those
li^fi? ^'H^y^'fitte day in summer, and if
you do not find something that will
suit both your desires and your dollars
I shall be very much mistaken:

Greetings and welcome you'll find there before

you
And the oftener you come the more we'll adore

you.

The greetings of the blooming flow-
ers and the welcome of healthy sur-
roundings— with safe and perfect serv-
ice thrown in — for a very small con-
sideration.

SHADE FROM NEXT DOOB.

What is the law relating to trees and
their planting along the boundary line
between two properties? Is one per-
mitted to have trees so near the divid-
ing line that the limbs cast a shadow
on the glass on the adjoining property
and even the roots penetrate, to the
detriment of the growth of stock
planted out? E. A. G.

The owner of land has a right to
use the land, and the space above and
below the surface right up to the di-
viding line. If the eaves of his neigh-
bor's house or the limbs of his neigh-
bor's trees overhang his land he may
cut them off even with his boundary.
If the roots of his neighbor's trees
extend under his land he may dig down
and cut oflf these roots up to his own
line. If he had not this power he
might not be able to erect a building
or dig a cellar within several feet of
the boundary of his own land. He
need not give, or have, any special
reason for wishing the limbs or roots
removed. It is sufficient reason that
they are encroaching on his property
and he does not care to have them do
so. The owner of the land should
remember that the limbs and roots ot
the tree are not his property. When
he has cut them ofip he should throw
them over upon the land of his neigh
bor who owns them, ^ give the latter
permission to eomc u^oij^ his^JliUB and
take them away. An owner of land,
however, has no legal ground of com-
plaint, and no legal remedy, if his
neighbor's trees simply cast a shadow
upon his land. The neighbor ma v' use
his own land as he will, even though
such use cut off the light and air from
another. Attorney.

July 13, 1911.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

Flowers of all kinds are scarce and
the wholesale houses are cleaning up
every day. Carnations are small, but
easily bring $2 per hundred. Roses
are scarce and poor, Beauties fair and
selling well. A fine lot of plumosus
is received.

Society Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Cincinnati Florists' Society was held
Monday evening, July 10, the guests
of the evening being President Phil-
pott and Secretary Pyfer of the Chi-
cago Florists' Club. It was election
night. The result was as follows:

President — Gus Adrian.

Vice-President — "William Murphy.

Treasurer — Edward Forter.

Secretary — Alex. Ostendarp.

Director — H. Greensmith.

After the business of the evening
had been disposed of, both Messrs.
Philpott and Pyfer gave entertaining
talks.

The outing committee has every-
thing ready for a grand time. Tickets
are on sale by the wholesalers and
many others. Everybody is expected
to come.

Various Notes.

George Tromey is doing an extensive
decoration at Atlantic City, and is
using a lot of asparagus from E. G.
Gillett, it being grown by C. J. Oh-
mer, at Palm Beach, Fla.

Mrs. Irene Ehlen and friends visited
the Queen City bathing beach July 9
and had a happy time.

Miss Stella Gockel, daughter of
Henry Gockel, Ft. Thomas, Ky., died
Saturday, July 8, after a lingering
illness.

Haddock Warren Hardesty, father
of Thomas Hardesty, one of our lead-
ing retail florists, died at the home of
his daughter, at the age of 78 years.

Ed. H. Fries and wife are leaving
for a trip through the west, taking
in Denver, Colorado Springs, Omaha,
Salt Lake City, Yellowstone park
and part of California. G. M.

BOSTON.

The Market.

The protracted and terrible heat
wave which ended July 7 was too
much for the cut flower business and
rarely, if ever, was trade so complete-
ly demoralized. Many flowers were
valueless when received and even such
as arrived fresh were gone soon after
unpacking, unless some customer car-
ried them away. All flowers suffered,
but roses and sweet peas the most.
The latter were almost ruined and
even now, with a little cooler weather,
their quality is away below par. The
heat has caused an abnormal death
rate. Florists had difficulty in secur-
ing good flowers for design work and
in delivering them in presentable con-
dition. With weather only slightly
cooler than a week ago, there is lit-
tle doing and trade is at about its
lowest ebb.

Roses are getting much poorer and
the Killarneys, Richmond, Ward and
Bridesmaid are almost down and out.
Some nice Beauties, Prince de Bul-
garie, Carnot and Kaiserin are still
seen and there is a fair call for these.

Gustave Adrian.

(New President of the Cincinnati Florists* Society.)

Many carnation men have stopped
shipping. At 20 cents to 50 cents per
hundred it did not pay to send them
in. Few good flowers are now seen.
There are nice lots of candytuft, gyp-
sophila, sweet sultan, aster, zinnia and
other outdoor flowers, but the demand
for these is uncertain. There are plen-
ty of the large gladioli, which sell
slowly. Some speciosum lilies are a
welcome addition to the short variety
of flowers arriving at present. Valley
has had a hard time of late and grow-
ers must have been heavily out of
pocket on it. There is but a poor call
for all kinds of green stock, adiantum
selling slowly.

Various Notes.

William Nicholson, the noted Fram-
ingham florist, has retired from busi-
ness, turning his business over to Will-
iam R. Nicholson, his son, who has been
manager for several years. Mr. Nichol-
son has been in business at his present
stand since 1890 and has always been a
hard worker. He surely has earned a
rest for his later years. W. R., Jr., is a
good grower, and the quality of stock
produced at Pleasant Hill Conserva-
tories will remain as high class as ever.
Carnation planting is now in active
progress here.

The new yellow forcing rose. Lady
Hillingdon, as growii by the Waban
Rose Conservatories, is fine. In spite
of the intense heat which has prevailed
of late, the quality of the Kaiserin
and other summer roses here, as well
as Killarney and Beauties, is un-
usually good.

July 11 the committee on gardens

of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety visited the extensive and finely
kept estate of Thomas E. Proctor, in
Topsfield. Here hardy trees and
shrubs are to be seen in immense num-
bers and in variety second only to the
Arnold Arboretum. Splendid rock-
eries, tastefully planted, and large
ranges of glass containing plants and
fruits showing the highest possible cul-
ture, showed that the superintendent,
James Marlborough, is a grower of the
first rank. The committee was well
entertained and greatly enjoyed the
visit.

William J. Collins sailed for Liver-
pool on the Franconia's last trip and
will visit seed and bulb growers and
nursery firms in England, Ireland,
Scotland, Holland, Germany and
France on behalf of his firm, Joseph
Breck & Sons. Mr. Collins is one of
the best known of the club athletes
and will be much missed at the com-
ing picnic.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Grey left
on the steamship Parisian July 7 for
a three months' tour in Europe. We
hope both will be rejuvenated by the
change. Harry Wild, wife and two
children, formerly of Boston and now
of Greenwich, Conn., were passengers
on the same boat.

The executive committee has com-
pleted arrangements for the sports to
be held in connection with the com-
ing club picnic at Caledonian Grove,
West Roxbury, and programs will be
ready to mail within a day or two.
There are, as usual, some excellent spe-
cial prizes.

Miss Grey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
T. J. Grey, was married at her home

in Chelsea July 5, to George Martin,
of Fall River. The young couple were
handsomely remembered by a large
circle of friends.

The severe heat wave which ter-
minated July 7 completely ruined the
sweet pea crops of a number of local
growers. The previous drought had
been hard on them, but 100 degrees or
more in the shade for five successive
days simply burnt them up, and pros-
pects for the annual sweet pea show
July 15 and 16 at Horticultural hall
are not of the brightest.

William Sim will commence picking
sweet corn in quantity this week. He
starts many thousands in pots and
gets it in the market ahead of all
other local growers. The hot weather
brought on his tomatoes with a rush
and the daily pick has been immense.

William J. Thurston, the genial man-
ager at the Boston Flower Exchange,
left July 8 for his annual vacation,
which will be spent among the cooling
breezes of Maine.

E. J. Bogean, salesman for H. W.
Vose and others at the Boston Flower
Exchange, is enjoying a vacation with
Mrs. Eogean at St. Johns, Newfound-
land.

William Sim and John K. M. L. Far-
quhar, local visitors at the national
sweet pea show, were well pleased with
it and other sights seen in and around
Philadelphia.

The severe heat wave which caused
so many deaths did not, so far as
can be learned, cause any deaths in
the trade, but several prostrations
were reported. Employers in many
cases stopped all but necessary work
during the hottest days. With 90 de-
grees in the shade now, it is still diffi-
cult to keep cool.

Penn's new store on Bromfield
street will have a grand opening this
week. The addition will give them
double the former show window and
floor space and make their store one
of the finest in the city.

William C. Ward, of Quincy, the
noted pansy specialist, is strong on
sweet peas at present and in spite of
boat and drought sends in thousands
of fine flowers daily to Thomas Peg-
ler.

Andrew Christensen, the Stoneham
carnation specialist, continues to have
an extra heavy pick of fine carnations.
Mr. Christensen plants his stock in
later than the bulk of growers and
will have a heavy pick for some weeks
yet. W. N. Craig.

Sterling, HI. — The Sterling Floral Co.
is building two more greenhouses on
their property on Seventeenth avenue.
Their business has grown fast in the
last few years.

San Angelo, Tex.— The Nussbaumer
Floral Co. is this year devoting one
house, 12x75, to Cattlejra Mossise, C.
Trianse and C. Percivaliana.

Deny, N. H.— John C. Chase, of the
Benj. Chase Co., has returned from a
trip to the Pacific coast, on which he
attended the convention of the Ameri-
can Association of Nurserymen at St.
Louis and the meeting of the Pacific
Coast Nurserymen's Association at San
Jose, Cal. At the latter meeting he was
the only person present from east of
Salt Lake City. During his absence Mr.
Chase became a grandfather and he
thought it fitting that the news should
reach him at a nursery meeting.

Litchfield, Conn.— H. P. Streckfur,
of the Bosemore Nurseries, bad a re-
markably fine exhibit of roses and
other stock at the annual grange flower
show in the town hall.

Bochester, Ind.— J. H. Shelton has
secured a lease of the Dunn green-
houses, on Seventh street, and will con-
duct them in connection with his own
houses. He will continue to have his
store and general headquarters at the
Shelton establishment, Fulton avenue
and Eleventh street, as formerly.

Sandy Hill, N. Y.— Watkins & Son
report the best business in the mem-
ory of the oldest member of the firm.
Plans for building on a large scale
will be considered while the price of
glass is low. Mr. Watkins, Sr., is
actively interested in the building of
one of the leading institutions in this
busy village.

Sedalia, Mo. — L. H. Archias, presi-
dent of the Archias Floral Co., returned
July 8 from St. Joseph and Kansas
City, which he visited on busi-
ness connected with some improve-
ments at the firm's greenhouses. Mate-
rial has been received for three modern
buildings, 18x100 feet, which will be
erected at once. The new additions
will be up-to-date in every particular.

Murray, Utah. — It is reported that
a number of business men of this town,
backed by the Murray Commercial
Club, are planning to form a company
for the purpose of promoting the build-
ing of a range of greenhouses, where
it is intended flowers shall be grown
to supply the Salt Lake market. J. W.
McHenry, president of the Murray
Commercial Club, with a number of
others interested, recently visited vari-
ous proposed sites for the new range.

Saratoga, N. Y. — The veteran T. J.
Totten has just returned from a week's
fishing trip to the Thousand Islands.
He had good sport, but what is more
satisfactory to him is the way this
beautiful resort has recovered from
the blow given by the anti-racing law.
By the action of the state and local
authorities in making the springs free
and opening the several charming spots
abounding here, visitors are pouring
in and business has received a real
boom, in which the craft is having a
good share.

New Hamburg, N. Y. — Henry Oster-
houdt, gardener to W. P. Clyde, reports
the annual rose show, recently held
at Annandale, quite satisfactory, es-
pecially when the hot weather is con-
sidered. His climbing varieties are
now at their best. Hiawatha is the
most profuse bloomer and holds its
color remarkably well. Specimen
chrysanthemums are promising. Prep-
arations are already being made for
the annual fall show, which attracts
the best stock grown in the Hudson
valley. One of the most profitable
things growing in the hardy border
is the double gypsophila. This is con-
stantly in bloom, a grand flower for
design work.

Foughkeepsie, N. Y. — Conrad C.
Gindra says this was a banner year
for bedding stock. Geraniums, as usual,
sold best, $1 and $1.50 per dozen for
any number.

FinlejrvlUe, Pa.— Geo. N. Garland, of
the Finleyville Floral Co., is boasting
of two marriages in his family the last
week in June — a son in Philadelphia
and a daughter in Washington.

Monroe, Mich. — The Greening Nur-
sery Co. is adding a greenhouse depart-
ment to its business, starting with a
house 32x150, to be used for the propa-
gation of ornamental nursery stock.
J. F. Musiel has been engaged as
grower and manager for this new de-
partment.

Creal Springs, 111.— Over 6,000 square
feet of glass were recently broken by
hail at the greenhouses of Geo. C. Beal.
Fortunately, the glass was all insured
and Mr. Beal is congratulating himself
on the prompt and satisfactory manner
in which John G. Esler, of the Florists '
Hail Association, adjusted the loss.

Lynn, Mass. — E. F. Dwyer & Sons had
an especially fine exhibit of hardy
flowers and other stock at the annual
spring show of the Houghton Horticul
tural Society. There was also an excel
lent display of hybrid perpetual roses
tuberous begonias, etc., from Warren F
Scammon, gardener for W. A. Baylies

York, Pa.— A. H. Schaefer, of 15 West
Market street, sailed from Baltimore
June 28 on the steamship Frederick der
Grosse, for Bremen. He expected to
proceed thence to his former home in
Germany, and, after spending two or
three weeks there, to sail from Bremen
July 29 on the steamship Neckar, on
the return voyage.

Beaver, Pa. — A hail storm struck this
town shortly after 9 o'clock on the
night of June 11 and in a few minutes
demolished 1,642 lights of glass, each
16x24, in the greenhouses of W. S. Kidd.
and a similar amount in the houses of
T. M. Fitzgerald. Mr. Kidd was fortu-
nate in having his glass insured in the
Florists' Hail Association, which com-
pany promptly forwarded its check cov-
ering his loss as soon as it received his
statement.

Bichmond, Ind. — A fishing party from
here, consisting of James E. Jonos, pro-
orietor of the Advance Co., his son,
Baymond, Fred H. Lemon, proprietor
of Fred H. Lemon & Co., and two other
local friends, motored to Colon, Mich.,
June 23. The drive to Colon was made
on an exceptionally warm day, and some
tire trouble was experienced. Mr.
Lemon, standing six feet two inches, and
wearing borrowed clothes for a fishing
costume, represented a typical Ichabod
Crane. Eegardless of this, his fine dis-
position and comical jokes kept the
party in a merry condition at all times.
Several fine fish were caught by the
party, including a garfish, which was
forty-two inches long. The rushed con-
dition of the two firms mentioned above
shortened the stay of the party, and
the return was made June 27, without
incident.

Annual convention, Baltimore, Md., August 15 to

KE8ULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

The Chicago Florists' Club voted July
6 to invite the S. A. F. to hold its 1912
convention at Chicago.

Those who send inquiries should al-
ways sign full name and address. Anony-
mous questions can not be answered.

When yon telegraph an order add the
code word "Transmit," which means
' ' Mentioned in your advertisement in the
Florists' Review."

Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.

The preliminary schedule and sub-
scription lists for the Royal Interna-
tional Horticultural Exhibition to be
held at London, England, May 22 to 30,
1912, have been received.

A Boston retailer is holding a ' ' grand
opening" of a new store in midsummer!
Now, what do you think of that? It
used to be said that the flower trade was
dead in summer, but nowadays progres-
sive people will tell you it never is so
hot but waving a fan will raise a breeze.

The Interstate Commerce Commifjsion
has made an order upon the express com-
panies requiring them to desist from the
practice of charging for the weight of
the ice used in packing shipments of
dressed poultry. A few years ago the
commission refused a request for a sim-
ilar order covering shipments of cut flow-
ers, but the times change and another at-
tempt by the S. A. F. might meet with
better success.

THE DOBNEB MEMORIAL.

Acting on a resolution adopted at
Boston, introduced by J. A. Valentine,
the secretary of the American Carna-
tion Society recently sent out a letter
regarding a memorial fund in honor of
the late Fred Dorner. This letter was
sent to every member of the A. C. S.
Secretary Baur now writes:

"So many contributions and letters
of approval and encouragement have
been received that we feel confident of
the success of the movement.

"We are anxious that this movement
be endorsed by the entire membership;
that it be unanimous. The amount of
the contributions was purposely set at
the low figure of $2, so that every
member could not only feel that he
could afford to contribute his share, but
that he could feel that he is giving as
much as any of the others.

"To fulfill the plans under considera-
tion it will be necessary to raise at
least $1,000, and to raise that amount
it will be necessarv for every member
to coi4fib|it,^h^h|j:ftj- j^^,^, V, i .

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

Following the Boston flower show, the
secretary of the American Rose Society
suggested the desirability of preparing
an accurate list of the roses of Ameri-

CJkn origin for permanent record. One
of the roses exhibited at Boston and
which has been filed with us is Madison,
originated during the year 1906, the
parentage being a cross between Pearl,
Bride and Meteor.

One new life member has been added
to the Rose Society, which adds $50 to
the amount of the permanent fund.

There will be a general meeting of
the Rose Society at Baltimore at the
Society of American Florists' conven-
tion in August. There are some matters
that want to be settled that cannot be
until that meeting, pertaining to the
prize awards at Boston.

The certificates of merit have been
forwarded to Messrs. A. N. Pierson Co.,
F. R. Pierson Co., and Robert Scott &
Son, at Sh>»'-on Hill, Pa.

Benj. Hammond, Sec'y.

PROFITS ON ADVERTISING.

The growers who have advertised
chrysanthemum cuttings in The Re-
view in the last few months have writ-
ten many letters expressing satisfac-
tion with the results. The following
is a sample:

Please discontinue our advertisement, as we are
sold out; we have been flooded with orders, sell-
ing 125,000 chrysanthemum rooted cuttings and
having to return many checks. — Hilpert & Ham-
men, Baltimore, Md.

Just what did this advertiser get
and what did it cost? Here are the
figures:

Hilpert & Hammen used Classified
advertisements exclusively. The first
insertion was March 2 and the last
June 29, 1911. Part of the time the
advertisement occupied four lines, and
part of the time five lines. In all
eighty-two lines were used. Their bill
was $8.20.

The price of the cuttings was $10
per thousand; 125,000 were sold. The
returns, therefore, were $1,250 on an ex-
penditure of $8.20. The cost was a
trifle less than three-quarters of one
per cent of the sales!

Does it pay to advertise in The
Review?

We leave it to you.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The business thus far in July has
been considerably ahead of last year
and the only ones who have complaint
to make are those who are cutting no
good stock. The weather has contin-
ued abnormally hot, but it appears to
have little effect upon the demand;
there is a call fully equal to the sup-
ply of flowers that are good enough
to stand a journey. In spite of the
great heat, which has now continued
for many weeks, the quality of flow-
ers in general is fairly good; it is a
great deal better than one would ex-
pect in view of the unfavorable con-
ditions.

The feature of the present week is
the increase in the demand for gla-
dioli, the advance in the price of Eas-
ter lilies, and the fall in the price of
amilax. The weather, hot and dry, has
flleen unfavorable for gladioli; they
are neither good nor plentiful, but
within the last week they have come
into strong demand and stock of no
better than medium quality has been
realizing the prices obtained irf other
seasons for strictly first-class spikes.
The receipts are principally of three

varieties, for the average grower has
learned that the best demand is for
light pink, white, and red. A large
proportion of the orders for gladioli
name the variety wanted, but the
small receipts of miscellaneous glads
sell quickly.

The arrivals of Easter lilies have
fallen oflf, the demand has increased
and prices have advanced. Gattleyas
are in light supply, but in even lighter
request. Valley is abundant and not
in special demand. Shasta daisies are
in heavy supply and the long-stemmed
flowers are realizing the usual prices.
Carnations, though a few nice clean
flowers aro seen, are generally pretty
well done up by the heat and not many
are coming in. A few asters are seen,
and the buyers take them up quickly,
but it is said that most of the grow-
ers will be late this year and that no
heavy supplies of asters will be avail-
able until next month.

Eeceipts of Beauties continue about
equal to the demand. The arrival of
crops on the young stock has relieved
the shortage of medium and short
stems. The Beauties show the heat
fully as much as any other roses, but
there are, all things considered, many
first-class flowers in the market. Kil-
larney holds its color wonderfully well
and some of the growers are cutting
a good proportion of long stems.
These are selling well. Maryland also
is excellent in color and substance, but
not many are available that have
length of stem to their credit. White
Killarney also is showing improved
form. Richmond is not in special re-
quest. Short-stemmed flowers of Mrs.
Ward and Prince de Bulgarie are seen
in several of the wholesale houses and
are selling well, though there is lit-
tle call for short-stemmed roses out-
side the city.

The green goods market has eased
up, smilax, which has been scarce for
months, having fallen to normal prices.

within a few days it was accepted.
Mr. Frese is a man of wide experience
in the wholesaling of cut flowers. For
several years he has been with Poehl-
mann Bros. Co. and before that with
George Reinberg. It is said the offer
of the new position came to Mr. Frese
in spite of a large number of applica-
tions received by the association and
that the officers feel that they have
made a propitious start through se-
curing his services. He took hold of
his new duties July 10 and is busily
engaged in fitting up the new estab-
lishment at 176 North Michigan ave-
nue, where the company has a four-
story and basement building. The Orr
& Lockett Co. is building an ice-box
forty-five feet long, office and other
fixtures. The date of opening has been
postponed' but it is expected to be in
shape to do business by August 1.

Club Meeting.

On motion of A. C. Kohlbrand, the
Chicago Florists' Club voted, July 6,
to invite the S. A. F. to hold its 1912
convention in Chicago. President
Philpott was instructed to present the

invitation to the convention at Balti-
more.

The club adopted the recommenda-
tion of the majority of the transporta-
tion committee that the club travel to
Baltimore over the Monon railroad to
Cincinnati and thence east by the
Baltimore & Ohio, one member of the
committee standing alone for the di-
rect route.

A. Zech, chairman of the outing
committee, reported on the plans for
the annual picnic to be held at Er-
hardt's grove, Park Ridge, July 23.
It is to be a basket picnic. The
grounds are reached via the Chicago
& Northwestern railroad and the
tickets are on sale at 50 cents each
in all the wholesale houses. A fine list
of pastimes has been arranged and
enough committees appointed so that
nearly every working club member has
something to do. It is expected that
the attendance will largely exceed
that of any other picnic the club ever
has given.

The present classifications are such as
to impose a penalty on shipments of

smaller lots in such shipments taking
a rating that gives a too high rating
for the entire shipment. The Monin-

and a large amount of evidence,
through which it is hoped to secure a
change in rating which will result in a
considerable reduction in freight rates

ILLINOIS EXPRESS BATES.

The long looked for and equally long
contested reduction of Illinois express
rates is again in sight. Acting under
the new specific powers conferred by
acts of the recent legislature, the Illi-
nois railroad and warehouse commis-
sion has issued a. call for a hearing
.July 19, at which the entire question
of express rates within the state will
be reopened. As the exhaustive evi-
dence covering every aspect of the
case which the commission gathered in
the hearings which preceded its order
of last October reducing the rates is
still available, it is not expected that
the new inquiry will require extended
hearings and it is expected that a sub-
stantial affirmation of the previous or-
der, which prescribed reductions aver-
aging about twenty-five per cent, will
result.

The original order of the commission
was issued on the evidence presented
by a number of commercial bodies, in-
cluding the Illinois State Florists' As-
sociation, and was made effective Oc-

tober 15 last year, but was enjoined by
the courts at the instance of the ex-
press companies on the ground that the
railroad act did not confer specific
jurisdiction over express rates on the
commission. It followed a long series of
hearings instituted on the commission's
own motion, both in Chicago and the

principal downstate cities. It not only
reduced rates from ten to forty per
cent, but prescribed an entirely new
tariff to apply on express shipments
within the state, which included a new
graduate scale, avoiding many of the
alleged "jokers" of the express com-
panies' system.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Rising Eastsrn Market.

The fierce heat has spoiled flowers
and increased business. Flowers have
become indispensable at funerals, and
the death rate has been heavy. Even
the down-eastern stock has suffered, for
with the thermometer in three fibres
in and near Boston, they have no ad-
vantage in temperature.

The feature of the market is the im-

Srovement in the demand for Easter
lies. The supply, which is rather
smaller than a week ago, has been con-
sumed at good prices, and on some days
there were not enough. The popularity
of Easter lilies as a summer white
flower is deserved. There is nothing in
the market today that gives such good
value. Gladioli are rapidly coming to
the front. Shipments of 1,000 and 2,000
blooms are arriving. An encouraging
sign in these is that named varieties
are displacing mixtures. Quantities of
fine red and also of one white and of
one pink afford opportunity to satisfy
the critical buyers who axe willing to
pay a fair price for a good selection of
colors when well grown. Asters, too,
are more plentiful, but they are only
of minor importance yet, being chiefly
suitable for design work and modest
bunches of cut flowers.

There are some good roses, notably
Kaiserin, Maryland, a few Beauties and
some wonderful Killarney, and many
poor ones that cause unhappiness to all.
Carnations and sweet peas are poor
bakers, and the number of good ones are
few indeed. Outdoor flowers are play-
ing a more important part.

Greens are in rather better demand.
Cattleyas and valley are in fair sup-
ply, but most of the demand is for
cheaper stock.

The length of this report is due to the
changing conditions and is not an indi-
cation of any extraordinary boom in
business.

Robert A. Craig suggested that a few
words about nephrolepis would be time-
ly, and Robert A. Craig is such a thor-
oughly good fellow that it is a pleasure
to do what he suggests.

A little over fifteen years ago Grand-
papa Boston came down to this city by
way of the Windsor line of boats to
save expense in freight charges. The
late Lucius H. Foster was a pioneer in
this city, growing plants in the benches
all summer that he wholesaled in the
fall at 25 cents to 33% cents each, that
were immediately potted in sixes and as
promptly snapped up by the wide-awake
retailers at $1 each. When they were
gone it was found they would have
easily brought $1.25 to $1.50 each. Then
the growers found there was a little
Klondike in Bostons and everyone could
make space under glass as profitable in
summer as in winter by growing these
ferns. Then came the improved meth-
ods. The smart growers found that pot-
grown stock was superior to bench-
grown. It was more compact and more
shapely. Stock was planted out for
runners. The runners were potted and

there were cultural improvements in

variation are as popular and as profita-
ble as any plants grown. They are sold

The Weekly Florists' Review*

MELODY

In selling this rose early in the season we did not recommend it as
a summer bloomer, our feeling being that it was an unusually good
winter forcer. Now after a month or more of hot weather we find it a
splendid summer rose, holding its color and form in fine shape. As a
cut flower it has been and is selling extra well and at present we are
often unable to take care of all orders that come in to us. Unquestion-
ably we recommend it as the very finest yellow rose and one of the
best money makers on the market. For a grower retailing his own cut
flowers it hasn't an equal in the rose line today.

Own root plants, 2X-inch pots, $30.00 per 100; $250.00 per 1000.

DOUBLE PINK KILLARNEY. It has no equal commercially. Own root, 2%-inch, $20.00
per 100; $150.00 per lOUO. Grafted, 2X-inch, $30.00 per 100; $250.00 per 1000.

PRINCE DE BULGARIE. Entirely different from any rose grown. Own root, 2X-inch, $15.00
per 100; $120.00 per 1000. Grafted, 2%-inch, $20.00 per 100; $180.00 per 1000.

CREPE FLOWERS?

^They are true to nature, durable and a most showy form of advertising,
making your window rich and gay and makipg you gay and rich.

CREPE ROSES in all colora, lifelike in their colors and in form. They are admirable in every respect.

CREPE SWEET PEAS— possess that fairy-like charm and variety of color that make them faahion-favored flowers.

CREPE ORCHIDS— reproduce the rich, tropical effect of the orchid with startling fidelity.

CREPE WISTARIA— afford a grace and color not found in any other flower. The clusters are extremely effective.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

After a week of the hottest, most
humid weather New York has ever
known, there is a decidedly dull mar-
ket. "With little stock arriving, the
little that comes in is far below top
grade. If the hot spell continues
through the week there will be little
to encourage wholesaler or retailer, and
the only way to get comfort or profit
out of present conditions is to bow
gracefully to the inevitable and make
the best of it.

Nearly all the roses arriving are
short-stemmed, fully developed, or else
the buds, remain in statu quo and
wilt, from the hot journey from green-
house to their destination. For carna-
tions 75 cents per hundred seems to
be top. The street merchants dispense
them at a penny each. A few selected
ones touched $1 per hundred July 10,
in small lots.

Fine Cattleya gigas were selling at
50 cents top bid July 10. There seems
to be a sufficiency. Lilies have im-
proved slightly, getting up to 5 cents
for extra quality. Valley holds firm
at 2V2 cents for the best. The market
is flooded with sweet peas, much of
the arrivals being of poor quality.
These the street men handle and retail
at 5 cents a bunch. The best stock
sells readily, as always, but at low
rates, considering their stems and
beauty; $3 per hundred bunches was
the top quotation July 11. Gladioli
hold firm, waiting for the outdoor
competition.

There is little demand for green
goods. Smilax was selling at the first
of the week at 50 to 75 cents a dozen
bunches.

The Qreek Outing.

The fifth annual outing of the Greek-
American Florists' Association, Thurs-
day, July 6, was an immense success,
651 adults, 84 children and 10 musi-

ance, beating all records of the society.
The several committees deserve great
credit. . The arrangements were perfeirt
and everything was run on schedule

DAYTON.

The Market.

It is quite evident on every hand
that business has sunk into the same
old rut that it psually does during the
hot summer months. The supply and
varieties of stock are gradually dimin-
ishing every day, so that it would be
an impossibility to take care of a big
demand. Funeral orders seem to be
the only thing to keep up trade, with
an occasional wedding. On the out-
side markets are seen chiefly daisies,
while sweet peas were a complete fail-
ure this year, owing to the continued
spell of hot, dry weather. In fact, all
outdoor vegetation has been put to
the bad. Rain is needed and needed
badly. The last good rain that fell
in this section was early in May; since
then only a , few minor showers have
visited us, they being too small to be
of much value. Naturally, under these
conditions one can hardly expect much
of stock planted out.

The prospects for asters are no more,
as they, like the rest of the outdoor
stock, are a failure. Lilies seem ^o be
the queen of the indoor stock and are
of good quality. The rose and carna-
tion crops are scant and of poor qual-

often used for freesias and answer well,
but for the best results use pans from
eight to ten inches in diameter. The
finest freesia is Fischer's Purity. This
is larger and purer than refracta alba
and, once grown, will be always wanted.
A recent issue of The Eeview stated
that a successful eastern grower planted
as many as fifty bulbs in a 10-ineh pan
and secured as fine spikes as when he
used half that number. Freesias like a
light but moderately rich soil. Any
manure used must be well decayed.
After placing in the soil, water well
and keep out of the sun until growth is
started. Then give full light and an
abundance of air. Whe;i well started,
the pans, pots or flats can Be stood on
a bed of ashes and kept outdoors until
the last of September.

Sweet Peas.

Seldom have outdoor sweet peas made
better prices than during the present
summer. At this season of the year
they are easily the most popular flower
on.tbe..market. Buyers are tired of car-
nations and inaoor roses pall upon them.

among them. From sunset to sunrise is
the ideal watering time, as loss from
condensation is thus avoided. Let the
sprinklers stay two and one-half to three
hours before moving; then the ground
is morally certain to be well soaked. If
a mulch of old manure has been given
the plants, the waterings will help to
carry some food down to the roots.
Keep all seed pods removed. Pull up
dead plants. After hot, enervating
days a good hosing over will freshen
the plants wonderfully.

Myosotis.

Th0 various forget-me-nots should be
sown at the same time as the pansies.
It is well to sow them, like the pansies,
under shaded sashes, to insure an ex-
cellent germination. These always re-
tain their poj»ularity for spring bedding
and the sale for them in baskets from
Waster until Memorial day seems to in-
f-rease each year. Every country florist
should raise a good batch of them, as
they are of the easiest possible culture.
(Jood varieties are: Alpestris ccErulea;
Eliza Fonrobert, deep blue, large flow-
ers, a fine sort; alpestris Victoria, a
neat bushy habit, color azure blue,
splendid for bedding and an excellent
rock plant. There are also pink and
pure white varieties of this forget-me-
not. Splendid for culture in pots or
benches are Royal Blue and dissitiflora.
Where a spreading deep blue variety
for bedding is needed, sylvatica fills the
liill nicely.

Six Pages of Retailers' Cards

This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the
facilities for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid
development of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and
so helpful 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.

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?

The Market.

There is hardly any change in the
market since last report, except that
first-class stock has become scarce.
There is a lot of roses coming in from
out of town, but nothing fancy except
a few long Beauties. Carnations are
scarce, hardly any coming in at any
of the wholesale houses, and the best
are bringing 3 cents. One of (the
wholesalers is receiving a nice lot of
asters, which clean up daily. Tuberose
stalks are coming in, but they look
poor on account of the dry weather.
Oladioli sell well, with clean-up sales
at $10 per hundred for choice. Extra
good valley and lilies are to be had
daily.

The weather has been hot and dry
for the last ten days and business is
dull, with only funeral work to de-
pend on from now on.

Various Notes.

E. A. McPheron, of Litchfield, 111.,
spent Saturday, July 8, calling on the

The Ladies' Home Circle had its

Rocks park, which belongs to the city
water department. The ladies received
passes from the department for a ride
to the park from the end of the car
line and they spent a most enjoyable
day.

Adolph Fehr, of Belleville, was here
July 7, buying supplies. He says he
has had a prosperous season in plants
and cut flowers.

Mrs. F. C. Weber, Sr., Mr. and Mrs.
F. C. Weber, Jr., and Herman Weber
spent a most enjoyable Fourth of July
visiting relatives on the Hlinois side.

There is little cut stock coming in
at present from Kirkwood. The grow-
ers say that their violet, carnation and
chrysanthemum plants are suffering
greatly from the dry weather and a
shortage of water.

Pennsylvania railroad to carry the St.
Ijouis florists to Baltimore to atten.l
the S. A. F. convention. The round
trip fare will be $32, with the usual
stop-overs. Mr. Weber saj's he has
quite a few names on his list, of those
who expect to make the trip. Anyone
who is going to attend should be sure
to send in his name not later than
August 15.

The local florists and those in near

many special features this year. The
champion Sanders team will again
tackle the Bentzen team for a five

retailers' teams a four-inning game,
and there will be games of all kinds
for young antl old. Max Peletier's
band will delight the young in X\\v

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

July 13, 1911.

Seed Trade News.

AHEBICAN SEED TBADE ASSOCIATION.

Pres.. Leonard H. Vauijrhun, Chicago; First Vtw-
Pres., M. H. Duryea, New York City; Sec'y and
Treas., C. K. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

Many of the pea fields are said to be
burning up.

Onion seed is said to be scarce. What
develops next need surprise no one.

The cucumber and vine seed crops of
the central section are reported in good
shape, considering the weather.

A ROUND-sEKDED coru is asked for by
.1 correspondent in the east. The New
J-^ngland yellow flint is the best of this
class that we know of.

The seed trade in general is feeling
the effect of the unusually, hot, dry
weather. Good general rains would put
more life into the demand for seasonable
seeds.

Louisvii^LE reports a short crop of
onion sets. The harvest is started. The
sets are well matured, but the yield is
irmch below the average, and the acreage
is less than half of what it was last year.

The first of the season's crop of lily
l>ulbs were landed from the boat that
reached Xew York, from Bermuda, July
.!, two cases consigned to Wells, Fargo
& (Jo., and four cases consigned to order.

A REPORT from Holland states that a
good rain in the latter part of June has
relieved the drought conditions which had
prevailed for weeks in the seed growing
section. Hince then much planting and
replanting has been done.

Beans are needing rain, according to
reports. This crop, however, seems to
stand hot, dry weather better than most
others, and it is too soon to say much
about it. If rain comes in time for the
setting period things will be all right.

The estimate whirh appeared in The
Keview two weeks ago covering the Chi-
cago onion set crop needs to be revised
downward. The exceedingly hot weather
•ind lack of needed rain make present con-
ditions about as bad as they could be.
The sets are ripening up all right, and
the quality is likely to be all that could
be desired, but most of the fields will not
produce better than a three-fifths yield.

The carrot seed crop of California is
reported to be decidedly short. This crop
has been quite short in Europe for the
last two seasons, and the reports from
there this year make it look as though
seeds of the jwpular market garden va-
lieties of carrot will not be sufficient to
meet requirements. The field sorts are
doing better, but the demand for these
stocks is not so large as for the garden
varieties.

The market gardeners and truckers at
most of the principal points complain
:ibout the weather. No crop seems to be
up to expectations. The celery growers
find it hard to get the late settings estab-
lished and there is quite a scarcity of
plants. Tomato vines show a drying up
at the roots, which makes it look as
though this important crop will be light.
Onion crops in general are reported poor.
I.ate cabbage is suffering from heat and
<lrought and, on the whole, the outlook is
not bright.

per thousand, iinder paragraph 263 of
the tariff act of 1909.

According to a report from Dallas,
the seed houses there recently met a large
demand for Milo maize, Kaffir corn,
June corn and cotton seed to go to the
Comanche county section of Oklahoma,
where thousands of acres* of crops were
destroyed by a heavy storm June 28.

The Henry Field Seed Co., Shenan-
doah, Iowa, held its annual meeting July
1 and declared a dividend of nine per
cent, eight per cent having been paid
regularly heretofore throughout the com-
pany's existence. Directors were reelected
as follows: Henry Tield, A. L. P.
Thompson, H. E. Eaton, G. C. Mitchell,
D. S. Lake and E. S. Welch, and A. M.
Eldridge was elected to a vacancy. Henry
Field was reelected president^ and general
manager, A. L. P. Thompson, vice-presi-
dent, and H. E, Eaton, secretary and
trasurer. It was stated that the postage
bill for the year was $15,639.91.

PEAS HAVE SUFFERED.

Jackson, Mich., July 7. — Our vine
and other crops in Jackson county have
started out very nicely, and we do not
believe the extreme heat has done any
particular harm. It is considerably
cooler today and, as we have up to this
time been favored with sufficient mois-
ture, we believe no great damage will
result. "We cannot say the same, how-
ever, for peas. In the northern part of
the state they have suffered very
greatly. Conditions were worse than
during the heated spell last summer.
S. M. Isbell & Co.

WISCONSIN PEAS CUT IN HALF?

The following letter has been re-
ceived from the head of one of the
oldest and largest firms operating in
the Sturgeon Bay section of Wisconsin:

"The heat is more extreme and pro-
longed than any similar experience we
have had since being in the seed trade,
now covering a good many years, and
the effect is very damaging to our
crops, but more especially to those that
were just in blossom or beginning to
pod at the time this heat struck the
pea belt.

"Some of our most experienced men
write us that they expect the crop re-
turns have been cut right into halves on
most green wrinkled varieties, by this
hot wave, and you will readily under-
stand this makes it impossible for any-
one to give reports that can in any way
be reliable to the trade."

PEAS AND BEANS.

Grand Rapids, Mich., July 10. — This
morning we received a partial report
of the crop conditions, which is any-
thing but favorable so far as peas in
northern Michigan are concerned. The
extremely hot weather, without any rain,
has shortened the early varieties of
peas 80 that we can hardly expect any
better results than we had a year ago.
With late varieties it is still problem-
atical. If we should have rain and
cool weather it would help some, but
we fear the extremely dry, hot weather
has injured them to a considerable ex-
tent, so that even under the most fa-
vorable conditions we might have
from now until harvest, we could not
expect to harvest a full crop by any
means. On the other hand, should it
continue dry and hot, there is little

CRITICAL IN NEBBASEA.

Waterloo, Neb., July 7. — Regarding
crop conditions, will say that crops are
almost a perfect stand, fields free from
weeds, and up to the present time have
been doifw^ remarkably well, but the
continued not, dry weather within a
few days will doubtless work serious
damage unless relieved by rain. It is
^mply a weather proposition with us.
Good general rains will save the situ-
ation; without rain conditions will be
serious within a few days.

Our crops being scattered, some sec-
tions have had local showers which
have been very timely and beneficial,
regard the general situation at
sent critical.
,!». . . -y J. C. Robinson.

IN NEBRASKA AND COLORADO.

Fremont, Neb., July 8. — We have re-
Qflltgpd crop reports from a large num-
qiyAif our growers, the most of whom
ri^rt from fair to good stands of corn,
cucumber, pumpkin and squash. The
sweet and field corn are well advanced,
clean and free from weeds, and while
we believe no serious damage has yet
occji^rred from the hot, dry weather,
negcrly all of them have been more or
less checked and in some cases the
leaves were getting quite dry until re-
lieved by the showers of July 5. There
is absolutely no subsoil moisture and
good general rains or frequent showers
will be necessary to pull the crops
through the balance of July and the
moffSh of August.

TjMfeiquash and pumpkin crops in Ne-
bras%Cl»- have nearly all shown a good
growth, but have been' damaged more
or lofs by the cut worms, squirrels and
striped beetles, causing replanting in
some cases. These crops also have suf-
fered from the extremely hot weather,
wilting during the npMle of the day,
but we believe the most of them were
also relieved by the r^s of July 5.

The muskmelon and watermelon
crops in the southwest vange from poor
to fairly good stands, according to their
being planted about the time of the
early rains or later, the later planted
crops showing poor stands or not com-
ing up on account of the dry conditions.
We have received some reports stating
there were showers the latter part of
June and we trust the muskmelon and
watermelon crops will show improve-
ifnent and with sufficient moisture the
balance o^^^^^e season make fair crops.

The cucumber, melon and squash
crops being grown under irrigation in
the vicinity of Rocky Ford are some-
what late and will average about two-
thirds of a stand on account of the
cold, backward spring and, lack of
wjgltf early in the season. We under-
staAd quite a large acreage being

has been plowed up and abandoned and
planted to other crops for the above
reasons. We also understand some of
the acreage in that vicinity has been
contracted under some of the new
ditches, quite a distance from Rocky
Ford, where they are apt to bo short
of water.

Taking everything into consideration,
and the fact that we still have the
larger part of July and all of August,
which are our hottest and driest
months, to go through, we cannot an-
ticipate large crops of sweet and field
corn, cucumber, melons, pumpkin and
squash. We have, however, a good acre-
age contracted and planted of nearly all
varieties in our line and with fairly
good growing conditions the balance of
the season, hope to fill all orders in full.

IS SEED TRADE LOCALIZING?

In a recent issue of the Michigan
Tradesman, Alfred J. Brown, of Grand
Rapids, had an interesting article on
''The Seed Trade — Some Facts About
Its Growth and Development." While
written for the planter rather than for
the seedsman, the concluding para-
graph will be of interest to the trade.
It is as follows:

"A word might be said about the
mail-order seed trade: While it is true
that some large mail-order houses con-
tinue to do a thriving business
through their catalogues, it is a fact
that the seed business has been steadily
localizing itself. There is now not so
much sending away 500 or 1,000 miles
for seeds to be sent by mail as for-
merly, for the consumer can buy them
from his own dealer. He can not only
get as good at home, but can get more
for his money. Consequently most of
the standard seeds that are planted are
more or less bought from the local
dealer in the community where the
sower of the seeds resides. Under such
<;onditions the town, no matter how
small it is, usually has one or more
dealers who handle vegetable seeds in
bulk, as well as all kinds of field seeds
for the farm. In this particular re-
spect the evolution of the seed trade
has greatly improved."

When you employ a lawyer
in matters of importance
what do you consider most —
his fee or his services^ No
man knows what his services
are worth better than a law-
yer, and he seldom asks less
than their value. It is better
to have a good lawyer and
pay the price, than to have a
poor one and lose the case.
Of course, occasionally a poor
lawyer wins a case which you
might profit by, but if you
strike an average you will
invariably find the good law-
yer is the most economical to
employ by far. In buying
lily bulbs or any kin^ of
bulbs it is more economical
to buy the best you can in
regard to quality. Every
grower will realise this if he
stops to think. Now is the
time to consider lily bulbs
from storage for fall flower-
ing. When fall comes you
will wish you had them and
it is better to have them than
to wish you had. Order now.
You can have Horseshoe
Brand Giganteum, Formoaum,
Auratum and Magnificum of
very good quality for deliv-
ery now or later. Prices are
very reasonable. Write us.

OABDENEBS INCOBFOBATE.

The National Association of Garden-
ers took action Monday, July 10, to ob-
tain a charter, meeting for that purpose
at Madison, N. J. There were present:
Wm. Kleinheinz, Ogontz, Pa.; Thos. W.
Logan and Jno. Dodd, Jenkintown, Pa.;
Xavier Smith, Philadelphia; E. Treth-
away. Tarry town, N. Y.; H. A. Bunyard
and "W. E. Maynard, New York city;
W. J. Stewart, Boston; M. C. Ebel,
Madison.

The charter, as presented by the
executive committee, was approved,
the following being selected to act as
trustees for the ensuing year: Wm.
Kleinheinz, Thos. W. Logan, M. C. Ebel,
Jno. Tyson and W,. E. Tricker.

A committee on by-laws was appointed
by President Logan to make necessary
amendments to the present by-laws to
conform with the new conditions under
the charter and report at the next an-
nual meeting. A special meeting of this
committee has been called for July 17
at Horticultural hall, Philadelphia.

M, C. Ebel extended an invitation to
the association, on behalf of President
Cowling, of the Morris County Florists'
and Gardeners' Society, to participate
with this society at its annual flower
show, to be held in Madison, October
26 and 27. He also suggested that tbe
association hold its convention in Madi-
son on that date, and this was favora-
bly acted upon by the executive com-
mittee.

The guests were entertained at dinner
at the Madison House by Mr. Ebel, after
which the company enjoyed a carriage
drive to the magnificent Twombley and
James estates and to the Florham Farms
greenhouse plant of Chas. H. Totty. At
the latter place, in the absence of Mr.
Totty, who is enjoying an outing at
Canandaigua, N. Y., "Wm. Tricker, the
superintendent, showed the visitors over
the extensive plant. At the Twombley
estate John Tyson, the superintendent,
led the party over many portions of the
2,000-acre tract, including the immense
greenhouses and the sunken gardens.
Another cordial reception awaited them
at the James estate, where Wm. Duck-
ham presides and where the artistic gar-
den effects and the perfection of every-
thing under his care are widely famous.
The party was entertained by Mr. and
Mrs. Duckham at their home. The
visitors also investigated the labora-
tories of the Aphine Mfg. Co.

J. A. S.

Redlands, Cal. — Sidney Hockridge,
of the City Nurseries, reports an ex-
cellent season in carnations, with an
unusually large percentage of perfect
blooms. Though the output was much
larger than last year, yet the demand
was equal to the supply.

I HYDRANGEAS

«u^

For Summer Flowering

We have an unusually fine lot of Hydrangeas, which have been held dormant all winter. These plants are now
in bud and bloom, and will flower in fine shape during July,^^ August. We have a fine lot of blue Hydrangeas,
as well as pink. Plants are in splendid shape for immediate' !B», and will flower during July and August— at a time
of the year when they are in the greatest demand. We can furnish these plants in ordinary butter tubs at $2.00 and
$3.00 each. Plants in new cedar tubs, painted green, with handles, as follows : Well budded plants in 14-inch tubs,
$3.00 each; 16-inch tubs, (4.00 and $5.00 each.

We have an exceptionally fine lot of Boston Ferns of the Harrisii type ; also a
splendid lot of Pierson Ferns, good, bushy, well-grown plants, in S-inth
pots, that will please the most critical buyer, $1.00 each.

TERNS
LILIUN HARRISII

(The Bermuda Easter Lily)

We offer a selected and carefully grown stock of the original pure Harrisii. There are only one or two lots of
bulbs on the island as good as the stock that we offer. We take pleasure in offering this stock, because it will be
found to be very superior to the average stock that is generally offered. This is one of the healthiest and cleanest lots,
and will give much better satisfaction than the stock usually obtainable. Our customers who had Harrisii from us
last year stated it was the best they had received in years. We have only a limited stock, which we are offering; and
when stock is exhausted we shall have no more to offer this season. Fine selected bulbs, 6/7-inch, 350 to the case,
$16.00 per case, or full 1000 lots at $45.00 per 1000; 7/9-inch, 200 to the case, $17.00 per case, or full 1000 lots at $80.00
-;per 1000; 9/11-inch, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case, or full 1000 lots at $175.00 per 1000.

Vegetable Forcing.

FEBTIUZEB FOB CUCUMBEBS.

Can you give me the formula for the
ideal soil for cukes? We have been
forcing cukes under glass for several
years, but, though we fertilize with
horse and sheep manure, also using ni-
trate and* phosphate, our soil seems to
be exhausted early and does not have
the power to last the season out. We
use new soil every year. Any informa-
tion on the subject will be appreciated.
R. C. H.

Horse manure, when gopd, is fine for
cucumbers, but when poor it is worse
than nothing. Too oftep its value is
overestimated by figuring it according
to the given analysis. I think that if
you would use part cattle manure you
would get better results.

Even good natural manures, however,
are not properly balanced for cucum-
bers. Some commercial fertilizers should
be used also, choosing those high in
phosphoric acid and potash, as there is
plenty nitrogen in good manure, but
not a sufficient percentage of potash
and phosphprie acid.

The published analyses of manures
have reference to good manures, and
cow manure usually runs much the same,
but horse manure often has fifty to
ninety per cent of straw added to it and
is also often ruined by being heated
and musty, so that all nitrogen has
erapof^ted. It must be taken care of
and turned and wet down occasionally
to save it. H. G.

PITTSBUBG.

The Market.

Pittsburg is still in the midst of the
hottest weather on record since 1881,
and at this writing there are apparent-
ly no better prospects in sight. Trade
naturally suffers in consequence.
Stock is generally poor and there is
not any too much of it. Asters have
made their appearance, but so far they
are not worth much. Beauties, lilies
and valley are the best flowers com-
ing in at present.

Various Notes.

E. Ashcraft, of the Pittsburg Cut
Flower Co., left Saturday with his
family to spend two weeks in the wUds
of Butler county.

The Zieger baseball club defeated
the A. W. Smith Co. club by a large
score and is now out with a challenge

It is reported that G. W, Carlson,
Ernest Addell, Axel Anderson and A. J.
Swanson will engage in the nursery busi-
ness at Marquette, Kan.

The McKay Bros. Nursery Co. has
purchased thirty acres of land at Water-
loo, Wis., with the intention, it is said,
of establishing its headquarters there.

The Department of Horticulture at
Cornell has in hand manuscript for the
fourth report on its peony investiga-
tions, which Prof. Craig hopes to get
through the press before long.

Michael F. Toomey, proprietor of the
Oak Hill Nurseries, at Boslindale, Bos-
ton, Mass., who filed a petition in bank-
ruptcy June 8, has now filed schedules in
which he acknowledges debts aggregating
$42,538.57. His assets amount to $7,-
469.12. Of the liabilities $30,818.57 is
unsecured and $10,920 secured. Among
the largest creditors are the United States
Finance Co., which has a claim for $4,000,
secured by two mortgages on Franklin
property; Robert H, Bean, $3,700 loan;
Margaret E, Toomey, Geneva, N. Y.,
$2,000 loan; F. E. Watkins, $2,000 loan.

NURSERYMEN'S MAILING LISTS.

[Extract from a paper by A. E. Robinson, Bed-
ford, Mass., read before the American Association
of Nurserymen at the St. Louis convention.]

It is during the last few years that
the manner of selling nursery stock
has developed along mail-order lines,
until now nearly all the larger and
many of the smaller concerns are issu-
ing catalogues of some description, both
wholesale and retail. . •

It has therefore come to be that the
nurseryman's mailing list forms an
important factor in his equipment. It
represents, in a large measure, the sell-
ing power of his business. Its value,
of course, depends upon the manner
in which it has been built up, and
the regularity with which it has been
revised and corrected. It is in view
of the fact that so many firms are
now doing both a wholesale and a re-
tail business, sending their catalogues
l)roadcast throughout the country, that
it becomes necessary to emphasize the
importance of having our mailing lists
properly classified, or so divided as to
place the names of wholesale and retail
buyers in aepar.Tte lists.

Now, as I understand it, we have at
least three classes of buyers of nur-
sery stock: The nurseryman, or
grower; the middleman, or dealer, and
the general public. Perhaps we might
go a little further and make a sepa-
rate list of public grounds, parks and
(iemeteries, though, so far as the mail-
ing list goes, they should be served
with the retail catalogue only,

Npwj. as to the first class, the nur-
seryman, the grower who buys in large
quantities to sell again at wholesale:
His margin is necessarily small and he
buys not so much to make a lot of
money as to complete his assortment.
His trade is largely with other nur-
serymen, and with dealers, whose or-
ders he packs. He is the man who is
entitled to the lowest wholesale trade
rates. It is to him, and him alone, that
surplus lists should be mailed. He is
the legitimate nurseryman and is in a
class by himself.

Then we have the dealer, the mid-
dleman, who buys to sell again at re-
tail. His lists are often long, and for
but few of a kind, covering nearly
everything listed in the catalogue. He

is not a nurseryman and should not
be classed as such. He may be a flo-
rist, seedsman, landscape gardener or
what not, but he is in every sense of
the word a dealer, who buys his stock
from the nurseryman and sells it to the
general public. He is entitled to
wholesale prices, but not to the nur-
seryman's trade rates, nor should he
receive the surplus lists sent out by
some nurserjrmen, offering stock at
ridiculously low rates.

Then we have the retail buyer, the
general public, the planter, or, as
other lines would describe him, the
consumer. It is to this class that the
great mass of our catalogues go, and
it is between this and the other two
classes I have mentioned that the
lines should be sharply drawn. The
prices quoted in our retail catalogues
should, of course, represent the true
value of our stock, and should be high
enough to protect the dealer, and to
lend dignity to our craft.

Now, I am not to take up the ques-
tion as to how to make a mailing list,
but I do want to say right here that
a mailing list, fit to use, is something
that can not be bought in the open
market. Now, it is not necessary for
me to tell you gentlemen, who are do-
ing a general mail-order business, is-
suing two or more catalogues annually,
how important it is to have your mail-
ing lists checked up carefully at the
close of each season. Unless this is
done and done thoroughly, dead wood
is bound to accumulate; names of re-
tail customers will find their way into
the wholesale, and names of wholesale
buyers into the retail lists, all of which
means large and unnecessary expense
in mailing catalogues, and confusion
in pricing orders.

I am pleased to note that at least
three or four of the larger concerns
with whom I am acquainted have their
mailing lists classified as outlined
above, and are- issuing- trade lists,
wholesale price lists, and catalogues
accordingly.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

July 13, 1911.

PACIFIC COAST.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

Business conditions are about the
same as previously reported. Funeral
work constitutes the major part of the
business, with a few belated weddings
to fill in. Stock is plentiful in all
varieties. Sweet peas are in profu-
sion. It is hard to maintain any
standard of prices, as some of the
smaller stores persist in cutting
prices in order to get the business.

Carnations are holding their quality
well, regardless of the warm weather.
The rose stock has been plentiful. The
Maryland rose is useless here as a
summer rose, as it frequently gops to
pieces over night. New ferns are com-
ing into the market, displacing the
old crop. The storing of ferns is not
practiced in this section, as the
weather permits gathering them the
year around. At the greenhouses the
forces are busy planting the carna-
tion beds with new stock.

Various Notes.

S. E. Lundy, representing the A. L.
Randall Co., of Chicago, is calling on
the local trade.

S. H. Forshaw, of Pendleton, Ore.,
was in town over the Fourth.

E. R. C.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The weather for the first part of
July has been quite cool in this neigh-
borhood. The thermometer has not
registered higher than 62 degrees,
though it is much warmer in the in-
terior towns. Consequently flowers of
all kinds are in splendid shape here for
keeping and shipping. Boses and car-
nations are much better than those
usually seen at this season of the year
and all sorts of outside stock show the
results of the cool summer breezes.

Business is not brisk and would exist
in name only were it not for the wed-
ding orders that have been liberally
sprinkled around town. Funeral work
has not kept pace with decorations for
more pleasurable occasions, and much
light colored stock has been thrown
away. Gladioli and dahlias have not
been in as good demand as in former
years and it is useless to quote prices
on them. Orchids, valley and other
choice flowers hold their own fairly
well, but flowers of most kinds can be
bought for almost anything the retailer
chooses to allow.

Various Notes.

H. M. Sanborn, of Oakland, who has
been confined to his home for several
weeks by a severe injury to his foot,
is able to attend to ^jusiiiess again.

The Pacific Coast Horticultural So-
ciety will give its second annual picnic
at San Anselmo, July 23. Coppa's Villa
has been secured for the occasion and
everyone is looking forward to an en-
joyable outing.

trade, is here from Seattle for a short

ROCHESTER.

The Market.

"With the Fourth of July in the past
and summer here in earnest, business
shows the dullness here which char-
acterizes the florists' trade all over the
country. A great many of the city
people have gone to the country, the
mountains and the seashore. However,
since Eochester is such a cool place,
with its numerous parks and its lake
shore, a large percentage of its people
take only short trips and so remain at
home during the greater part of the
summer.

As a result of the hot spell last week,
all flowers grown under glass are poor
in quality and short-lived. Consequently
the summer trade has grown tired of
roses, carnations and orchids, and a few
local florists are making up some at-
tractive baskets filled with garden
flowers, arranged in water. These are
in great demand because of their
uniqueness and their lasting qualities.
The baskets are made of birch bark,
wicker and glass. Coreopsis and white
phlox, arranged in birch bark baskets
and tied with yellow gauze ribbons, are
also good sellers. Lavender and white
Japanese iris, with a few sprays of
gypsophila, in wicker baskets, have
been in great demand. Late pansies,
lavender and yellow, arranged in fancy
china dishes and tiny baskets, are fas-
cinating. Pink and white sweet peas,
with just a touch of forget-me-nots, in
colonial glass baskets, are sold as gifts
for the newly arrived babes and their
mothers. Dainty hand-painted jars,
filled with tiny pink rosebuds and for-
get-me-nots, are also used for this pur-
pose. Pink ramblers, with coronilla in
pink and white or a few sprays of gyp-
sophila, have been used a great deal for
centerpieces during the last two weeks.

The wholesale price of Killarney,
Maryland, Richmond and Carnot roses
has been greatly reduced since July 1,
and consequently the retail price is
lower. Sweet peas are plentiful. Car-
nations are sold for a song, for they
are extremely small at present. Baby
gladioli are past and the summer
gladioU have not arrived as yet.

All interest is centered in the decora-

tions for the Shriners' convention, and
local florists are planning various deco-
rations for their own windows, such as
Shriners' emblems, floral camels cross-
ing the desert, etc. The decoration
trade for the week promises to be im-
mense.

Candidum and Harrisii lilies are
scarce.

Various Notes.

Half holidays for the employees of
nearly all the downtown florists began
July 1 and will continue until Septem-
ber.

J. B. Keller's Sons have booked sev-
eral large orders for the convention
week.

Wilfred Keller is spending the sum-
mer at Lake Canandaigua.

Mr. and Mrs. Edwin C. Armbrust
spent last week at Mount Hermon,
Mass., and New Britain, Conn,, the
home of Mrs. Armbrust.

A new company has been formed for
the purpose of reclaiming marsh land
on the lake front and growing garden
truck. The company is capitalized at
$34,000 and has for its officers: Presi-
dent, F. J. Howes, of this city; vice-
president, F. W. Fisher, Fairport; man-
ager, F. L. Bolton, of this city.

Local florists are making up Shriners '
emblems in green, yellow and red im-
mortelles for use during the Shriners'
convention.

Brown Watson is lamenting the fact
that he has no specials to rush during
the hot weather. E. C. A.

JULX 13, 1»11.

CLEVEIAND.

The Market.

It seems impossible to define any
hardest season of the year in the flov/er
business, or any best season either.
When one has business he frequently
hasn't the stock, and vice versa. There
is a little business, even in July, and
even in this July, the hottest in forty
years, but how to fill the orders is the
((uestion which confronts the retailer
today. The grower is doing his best to
supply the demand and, considering the
severely hot, dry spell of the last few
weeks, he is doing well. My Maryland
is about the only pink rose that is mak-
ing a showing just now, and there are
a few good Kaiserins to be had. Valley
is small, but enough can be obtained to
fill the orders. Outdoor sweet peas have
been the greatest disappointment, since
so many have depended on them. Eu-
hrum lilies are coming in and are good
for funeral work, although hard to
handle because of their brittleness.
Daisies are good to fill up the cooler,
but the demand for garden flowers is
short.

July business is holding up fine, and
there is still much wedding work.

Various Notes.

Fred Witthuhn and John Leuschner
left last week for Germany. They expect
to be gone six weeks or two months.
Karl "Witthuhn is in charge of the
Witthuhn store.

O. C. Knoble is taking a month's va-
cation. He will probably make a trip
in the east before returning, August 1.

Several florists and their wives spent

Knoble.

Harry Jones, of the Jones-Eussell Co.,
.spent last week in Indianapolis.

At the meeting of the Florists' Club
Monday night, July 10, it was decided
to hold the picnic July 20 at Puritas
Springs i)ark, to which every florist in
Cleveland and vicinity is cordially in-
vited. A big program has been ar-
ranged for the entertainment of those
present. All the stores will close at
noon, including the wholesale houses.

The Weekly Fbnsts^ Review*

JcLX 13, 1911.

COLUMBUS.

The Market.

Trade has been unusually heavy for
this time of the year. There have
been some large orders in funeral
work; on nearly every day in July, so
far, there has been a great quantity
of that sort of work.

Stock has fallen oflf considerably
and at times it was hard to get enough
flowers to go the rounds.. Eoses are in
good supply, but the quality is poor
and it is surprising they are even as
good as they are, considering the heat
and the dry weather. There was a
good rain here July 8, but it did not
cool the atmosphere in the least. Car-
nations are quite plentiful, especially
white, and they are fairly good stock,
as a rule. Though the most of the
old stock is thrown out now, "what is
left and taken care of has proved a
winner, as it would be difficult to get
along without it.

Valley is somewhat scarce, with the
demand light. Sweet peas have gone
back greatly since the hot wave struck
us and there are few good ones on
the market now. There have been
quite a few lilies on the market, and
they find ready sale. Outdoor gladioli
are making their appearance, and they
sell well.

Various Notes.

The outlook is good for a good sized
crowd a£ the picnic, July 19, at Buck-
eye lake. Arrangements have been
about completed for a good day's out-
ing. Cars will leave Columbus at 6:45
a. m. and return at 8:30 from the lake.

Sherman Stephens reports good
business in funeral work, with other
business at a standstill.

The Livingston Seed Co. is cutting
some good lilies. Their sweet peas are
falling off, owing to the intense heat.

William Graff has had several good
funeral orders, which have used up
lots of stock.

The Fifth Avenue Tloral Co. had
about half of its carnations planted
ten days ago, and the plants are now
looking fine. This firm is cutting some
good white carnations from the old
stock. J. M.

Saratoga, N. Y. — Christian Dehn is
delighted with the show-window con-
servatory built by Lord & Burnham
Co. from his own design. He says
there is nothing that catches the eye
so quickly as an attractive front.

Springfield, HI.— Arthur C. Canfield,
the florist at State street and Grand
avenue, has leased the Capitol Green-
houses, at Capitol avenue and Fourth
street, formerly conducted by George
Van Horn, and has purchased Mr. Van
Horn's entire stock. George Dinkel
will be Mr. Canfield 's manager at this
new branch.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

July 13, 1911.

WASHINGTON, D. 0.

The Weather Bureau thermometer at
the street kiosk on Pennsylvania ave-
nue has showed but three days be-
tween June 20 and July 9 when the
temperature was below 90 degrees.
Most of the time it was over 100, and
on two successive days it was 107 de-
grees. This will give an idea of what
one ?an expect of stock, also of busi-
ness. Outside flowers are poor, due
almost entirely to the weather.
Phlox is dried up and gladioli are
scarce and far from satisfactory.
Asters are coming in slowly. They
are suffering from dryness, are small
and have poor stems. Dahlias do not
amount to much, but they are in fair
supply. Carnations range from $1 to
50 cents, and they seem to hold their
own in popular esteem. Mrs. Taft is
about the best rose on the local mar-
ket. The Washington Florists found
this rose on its place and named it.
Being unable to identify it or learn
its origin, it was sent to A. N. Pier-
son, at Cromwell, Conn., who praised
it and has been handling it. It has
been identified as Prince de Bulgarie,
but locally it is still sold as Mrs. Taft.
It is a light pink with deeper center.
New Beauties are coming along in
pretty good condition for the first
summer roses, but the buds are small.
Roses, in short, are running a little
better than usual for this season.
Killarney is clean but not quite up
to standard, and Bride is poor. Kai-
serin is accounted the best white.
Caladiums are shown in the windows
and are selling freely.

The Florists' Club outing this week
promises to be one of the most agree-
able occasions of the kind in many
years. A big program of sports and
speeches has been prepared. There
will be visitors from Baltimore and
other cities.

Most of the flower stores have re-
arranged their show windows and the
popular design is composed of water,
rocks, lilies and general rustic effects.
Marche, Gude, Small, the Washington
Florists and others have produced ex-
ceptionally attractive windows.

F. J. D.

La Salle, 111. — Ella J. Porter is now
nicely established in her new store, at
623 First street. The formal opening
was held July 1.

Saratoga, N. Y. — Henry Schrade is
entitled to the title of .the Broadway
florist, having a handsome store on
that popular boulevard. Keeping up a
good supply taxes the resources of his
large plant.

doubt that they are the universal favorites with the flower buying public, that
they are today more popular than ever before; in fact, the demand during
the past season nearly exhausted the available supply. We are increasing our
stock for propagation to the extent that we shall produce them in enormous
quantity next season, and feel confident that we shall be in a position to fill
your orders to your entire satisfaction, but would suggest that your order be
placed early. We have already booked heavily on some kinds. Good standard
sorts at $18.50 per 1000, from 2- inch pots.

A splendid stock in 3-inch pots, ready for immediate shipment, at $3.00

CHEMISTEY OF FEETILIZEES.

[Continaed from page 12.]
Bone phosphate and phosphoric acid
may truthfully be said to have the same
effect as fertilizers, but it does not fol-
low that 20 per cent of one is equiva-
lent to 20 per cent of the other. The
average grower might simply glance
at the percentage column and not notice
that the figures were in one case for
phosphate and in another for phosphoric
acid. In a case of this kind we must
not overlook the possible influence of
the overambitious salesman represent-
ing the house with the bone phosphate.

Various Effects of Fertilizeis.

Thus far we have considered fertiliz-
ers merely as a source of plant food to
be added to the soil. Every experienced
grower knows that fertilizers have
various other important uses. A fer-
tilizer may be of value in at least six
diflferent ways: First, it may contain
additional plant food; second, it may
act upon the plant food already in the
soil to render it more readily available;
third, it may operate to make compact
soils more porous or open, so that air
and water and plant roots may more
easily penetrate; fourth, it may add
humus to a sandy soil, thus greatly in-
creasing its power to retain water;
fifth, it may act as a mulch to prevent
the too rapid evaporation of water
from the surface, and sixth, it may act
as does lime, to counteract the acidity
of a soil. Some fertilizers ara of value
in perhaps one way only, while others
are helpful in several ways.

Commercial and Natural Fertilizers.

Commercial fertilizers, such as bone
meal, blood and bone, wood ashes, sodi-
um nitrate, etc., are used merely to sup-,
ply plant food. In selecting from this
list it should be remembered that each
of the three essential constituents, ni-
trogen, phosphoric acid and potash; has
its own peculiar effect on the growing
plant. An abundance of one of these
three elements can not make up for a
lack of another, any more than a strong
link in a chain can make up for a weak

link somewhere else. It would evidently
be a great saving to the grower if he
could know what his soil already con-
tains and what each kind of crop re-
quires.

Natural manures seem to serve sev-
eral purposes. Besides supplying addi-
tional plant food, they may improve the
so-called physical condition of the soil.
As outlined above, they may serve as a
mulch; they may render a compact clay
soil more open; they may add humus
to a sandy soil to enable it to retain
water. The humus has another bene-
ficial effect; J^e presence of humus
seems necessary* to the growth of cer-
tain forms of bacteria which have the
peculiar power of rendering many in-
soluble compounds soluble.

As pointed out by Prof. Dorner in the
March 23 issue of The Beview, lime is
a fertilizer which influences the soil in
several different ways. Heavy soils are
made more open by it; sandy soils are
bound together by it; it neutralizes the
acids formed by the decay of organic
manure — that is, it keeps the soil sweet;
it renders other plant foods available;
it supplies needed plant food; it favors
bacterial growth and has an effect on
insects and fungous growths.

So varied is the composition of soils
and of fertilizers, and so diverse are
the effects of the great array of fertiliz-
ers now in use, that only patient, per-
sistent study can enable the florist so to
adapt his soil, his crops and his fertiliz-
ers as to secure a proper return for his
outlay of hard toil and hard earned
money.

EVOLUTION AND POLLINATION.

[OontlDaed from page 13.]

Trouble in Fixing Varieties.

Since the introduction of the waved
type there has been much discussion
about the diflSculty in fixing varieties
and the reasons for it. Some growers,
having secured what was to all indica-
tions a fixed stock, discovered after
sending it out that it was not fixed.
Some growers thought it only occurred
when the novelty was sent to Califor-
nia to work up a large stock of seed,
or after it had passed into the hands
of the California growers. One of the
theories advanced to explain this was
that some insect in California was re-
sponsible for some cross-pollination of
flowers. In our own trials this past
season no differences were observed
between English or American grown
stock, since we had seeds of novelties
direct from the originators and our
varieties were from the introducers.
Others say that bees visit the flowers
and they believe that crossing takes
place in the waved type, which, it is
maintained, does not produce normal
flowers, in that the pistil sometimes
projects beyond the keel.

Poor Setting of Seed.

It appears that, if this view is cor-
rect, the poor seeding of the waved
type would not occur, or at least that
the worse the fault of the flowers the
greater the crop of seed. Thus the va-
rieties which seeded freely would be-
come cheap and drive out the others.
The writer thinks that the results ob-
tained by the seed growers contradict
the theory. It appears that the poor
setting of seed may be due to the
fact that the pistil may grow out be-
yond the anthers before the latter are
mature and thus fertilization be pre-

vented by irregular development of the
parts. Otherwise the pollen may be
impotent in some varieties, but this
does not occur so far as the writer
has studied the reports of the sweet
pea breeders. The writer did not ob-
serve any pistils showing the defect
mentioned, but, as our season was ex-
tremely dry, our plants did not make
an exceptional growth which would be
likely to express itself in abnormal
flowers. However, it was observed
that some varieties seeded more freely
than others. We have planted most
of the varieties this year from seeds
saved in 1910, and, knowing those
which were fixed last year as well as
those with rogues of certain colors, we
think that some light may come upon
this matter of eross-fertilfization, if
any, in the sweet pea.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Sammer is upon us and so is the
quiet season. Vacations are about the
chief topic of interest at the stores,
while business seems to be practically
at a standstill.

A general summing up of the whole
season puts most of the florists some-
what ahead of last year, in spite of
the discouraging times which we hear
so much about. General satisfaction
is expressed with May and June busi-
ness, for the returns were surprisingly
good.

Supplies are not so heavy as usual
at this time of the year. Kose re-
ceipts are light, because replanting is
generally under way, but more grow-
ers than ever have made arrangements
for summer crops and there are excel-
lent prospects for plenty of stock
shortly. Carnations are holding up
surprisingly well. The flowers are
quite small, but the quality in many
cases, so far as clear stock and bright
colors go, is as good as it has been
at any time this spring. The demand
has not kept up so well as the quality,
and values are low.

Already the buyers are calling for
asters, but only a limited quantity can
be had. The outdoor crop of sweet
peas is the heaviest we have had for
several years. The quality of the peas
is excellent, but the supply is so great
that thousands go to waste.

Various Notes.

Mack Richmond, superintendent of
the trade exhibit at the convention, is
now receiving telegrams from anxious
exhibitors asking him to reserve space.
They are showing good judgment in
this, too, as space is being rapidly
taken up. There is still some space
left, but do not delay any longer. No
one with anything worth exhibiting
can afford to be absent from this show.
Address all mail to Mack Bichmond,

ONE HOUSE AND ADDITION.

Would three coils of pipe — two coils
of four li^-inch and ohe coil of four
2-inch pipes — heat a . house 25x100,
twelve feet to the ridge and six feet to
the eaves, -with four feet of glass! We
are building a 16-foot addition to our
present house. Would 1-inch or 1%-inch
pipe be preferable? We expect to heat
with steam and wish to keep a night
temperature of 50 degrees in both
houses. Our location is southern Kan-
sas. C. W. E.

There is no reason why the amount of
piping you suggest should not keep up
your temperature properly. I would
prefer the 1%-inch pipe to the smaller
size. I would suggest that, instead of
bunching your pipes in coils, you dis-
tribute them through the house more.
Two pipes on each side, with the others
about even distances apart, would give
you a more uniform heat through the
house than is possible with coils placed
so far apart. A. P. J. B.

HEATED WITH FLUE AND COII*.

I am seeking information on the
heating question. I have one house,
15 X 75, and am heating it with a
brick flue. Now, I wish to ascertain
whether I can put a coil in the fire-
box, install an expansion tank, pipe
the house from the coil and make it
work successfully. The temperature
in this part of Washington state
rarely, if ever, falls to zero. Please
tell me what size and what quantity
of pipe will be needed and what will
be the best way to arrange it.

W. T. J.

The question does not afford such
information as would make a definite
answer possible, but it is inferred
that for some reason the flue does not
heat the greenhouse satisfactorily. As
a rule, a combination of flue and hot
water heating is not recommended, but
in cases like this, where it is desired
to supplement a flue already con-
structed, hot water might be intro-
duced, provided the furnace is four
feet long and there is a good draft.

For the heating coil in the furnace
use three runs of 2-inch pipe, running

PAINT FOE STEAM PIPES.

We wish to repaint the iron gutters,

inform us whether the asphalt paints
commonly sold are suitable for this
purpose, or is the effect injurious to

used on steam and hot water pipesf

A. F. C.

Great care should be taken in the se-
lection of paints for use on greenhouse
boilers and heating pipes, as if they
contain tar the house will be rendered
practically worthless for growing plants
untiL tl|e p^int has been burned off. A
heamig pipe with 'a lough surface viill
give off more heat than one with a
smooth, glossy surface; hence the heavy
asphaltum paints, though all right for
boilers, are not desirable for radiating
surfaces. If asphaltum is used, care
should be taken that it is of good qual-
ity, or serious harm may result.

HEATING A PAETITIONED HOUSE

I am building a greenhouse, 22x85
feet, running north and south. The
side walls will be four feet high, of
boards. The south end will be joined
to the boiler-shed. The north end will
be glass, except the lower four feet,
which will be solid, like the sides.
The house will be eleven feet high to
the ridge. Will two 2Vi-inch feed
pipes and four l^/^-inch returns be
about right for a temperature of 50
to 60 degrees? If not, please advise
me how to pipe it. I should like to
run a glass partition through the
house, twenty-two feet back from the
boiler-shed, to enclose a room for pot
plants. Can I do this and have that
end warmer than the other endt I
want to use the most of the house for

the carnations and raised benches for

one of the hottest spells in its history
and vegetation of all kinds shows the
effects of the drought. Growers on

low. Everything is burning up and
it will take several days of good,
steady rain to revive conditions.

Business is at an entire standstill,

large funerals have helped to move
what stock comes into the market.

pink blossoms in front of the Museum
building at Roger Williams park, is
one of the principal attractions these
days. This arbor is one of the many
ideas in landscape gardening that are
being carried out by the superintend-
ent, Frederick C. Green.

During the last week the city and
town councils throughout the state
have been drawing jurors for the fall
term of the courts and a number of
florists and gardeners have been
caught in the panels. Among these
are George C. Kelley, Charles H.
Hunt, Willis S. Pino and George John-
son, of this city; James S. Cowles,

succession to carry along this success-
ful business. George, Jr., is a suf-

Now is the time to put in some of our Carnation Supports, to show you how much more practical, economical and seryiceable they are
above other makes. Note our reasons.

They are easily put up and just as easily taken down, no tangled mess of wire to store away.

They pay for themselves quickly by the additional and superior blooms gained with the proper support of your plants.

Our No. 1 needs no overhead wires or strings except one thin wire which locks on the clamp in the support, holding it upright and in place.

Our No. 'J Support acts as a stool for your plauts, allows no sagging. With this support you use overhead wires or strings to keep blooms
growing erect. It opens on both sides so all side slioots can be put in easily at all times. Note the low prices.

provided for those not wishing to bring
baskets. Anyone wishing a chicken sup-
per should notify the committee at least

The Weekly Florists' Review^

Jolt 13, 1911.

EVANSVILLE, IND.

The Market.

With the thermometer hovering be-
tween 90 and 102 degrees every day
this month, business has been slack,
but there are indications of rain and
cooler weather. Boses and carnations
are plentiful, but of poor quality.
Sweet peas are about gone. Asters
will soon be on the market.

Various Notes.

The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. re-
ports business as excellent. The firm
is cutting lots of roses and carnations,
and some carnations are being cut
from the field.

Ben Kramer had a large number of
funeral pieces one day recently,
amounting to $160.

Julius Niednagel & Sons' roses are
looking fine. The usual summer work
is in full evidence here.

Louis Fritsch is in Chicago for a
few weeks.

Paul Halbrooks, of the Columbus
Floral Co., Columbus, O., was here
and spent the Fourth of July with his
folks. He made the journey in his
automobile, without any accidents. He
passed through Dayton, O., Richmond,
Ind., Indianapolis, Terre Haute and
Evansville, and returned home through
Kentucky, calling at Louisville and
Cincinnati. He had banners on his
machine, bearing the names of the
principal cities passed through.

Eoyston & Fenton are still cutting
considerable quantities of short roses
and will soon be cutting from the
dried-off stock.

Karl Zeidler is doing some repair-
ing on his greenhouses. E. L. F,

A PERFECT GREENHOCSE HOSE

PACKING CO.US

91-93 CHAMBERS ST NEW YORK

FURNISHED m continuous lengths of 500 feet.'
An exceptionally high grade hose manufactured
with a woven jacket insertion instead of cotton
duck, and with specially selected rubbenn the inner
tube and cover.*" 1

The woven jacket construction makes~a~stronger
hose than can be obtained from cotton duck, and
absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening
at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on
cotton duck. ' This construction also gives a more
flexible hose and reduces the possibility of kinking. I
"Magic" Hose is guaranteed to stand a pressure
of 500 pounds per square inch, although its bursting
pressure is far in excess ol this.

DENVER.

The Market.

Considering the season, business is
good. We have been spared the heat
to which our eastern friends have been
subjected, and stock continues to ar-
rive in good condition. Carnations
are not so plentiful, especially red, as
Jiiost of the plants have been thrown
out. It is said that the aster crop
will be a total failure this year. Some
disease has attacked the asters for the
last two or three years, and no one
seems able to escape it. Sweet peas
are readily salable, for they are not
to be had in quantities as yet. Some
elegant young stock of Beauties and
teas is seen. The stems are not ex-
tra long, but the color and form make
up for the lack of stems.

Various Notes.

The wholesale cut flower department
of A. C. Sinram was discontinued July
1. Hereafter he will sell at retail only.

J. A. Valentine left July 1 in his
Ford touring car on a trip to Portland
and Seattle, intending to go from
there down through California. He
expects to be gone at least two months.
Mrs. Valentine will leave in a tew
days and will meet Mr, Valentine at
Portland.

W. L. White, of Goodland, Kan., is
in the city. He is in poor health, and
as soon as he gets the strength will
go to a hospital to be operated upon.
Mrs. White is with him.

Mrs. Irene S. Scott has taken a po-
sition in the Elitch-Long Flower
Store.

A few days ago an automobile ran
into a horse belonging to Ben Boldt,
seriously injuring the animal, but he
was given attention at once and is
now on the road to recovery.

E. P. Neiman is entertaining his
brother, O. D. Neiman. They are now
at Granby, Colo., on a fishing trip.

E. S. Kennedy and C. L. Gross spent
a few days last week at Buflfalo Park.
During the absence of Mr. Gross, his
store was in charge of C. Zbinden.

Cooper & Berry, of 833 Fifteenth
street, have dissolved partnership.
George H. Cooper will continue at the
old stand, while Harry J. Berry is fit-
ting up a store room at 613 Fifteenth
street, which he expects to occupy at
once.

SUNQEBIiANDS, N. Y.

The annual visit of the Albany Flo-
rists' Club to Ex-President Fred
Goldring was made July 5. About 100
braved the terrific heat and showed
their appreciation of the good cheer
placed before them. One of the sights
of this well kept plant was the ram-
bler roses in almost every variety.
They fairly luxuriate here and may
tempt Mr. Goldring to grow them in
quantity for the trade.

It was the first visit of J. G. Bar-
rett, of the Trojan City. After par-
taking of the famous Icicle radish, he
said he could understand why the club
appreciated these outings and felt so
neighborly toward each other. The
next meeting will be held at the home
of President Fred A. Danker and a

good time is assured.

M.

Glens Falls, N. Y.— H. L. Crandell
says the pretty store he opened in the
center of town at Easter has proved
so profitable that he will continue it.
He grows enough stock to supply the
demand at both places. A. J. Binley^
is rebuilding and, regardless of the
heated spell, kept at it, being anxious
to have the place shipshape before
planting tiipe. He reports constantly
increasing sales for the packing strip
put on the market recently.

Klrksvllle, Mo. — H. J. Allen has
bought out the flower store conducted
at 206 Franklin street by A. P. Howells.

Tulsa, Okla. — Perry N. De Haven, the
Elwood avenue florist, is building an-
other greenhouse, at a cost of about
$1,000.

Greenville, S. C. — The property at
Augusta and McKay streets, formerly
used for greenhouse purposes by the
late F. B. Holland, was recently sold
at auction to R. G. Stone, an attor-
ney, for $2,200. The ground has a
frontage of 117 feet on Augusta street
and 177 feet on McKay street. The
business was discontinued soon after
the death of Mr. Holland. The sale of
the property was the occasion for
many remarks among the people pres-
ent, to the effect that the business
might be a profitable one for some-
body, as there are no greenhouses now
in operation in this city and none
nearer than Spartanburg.

ICE-BOXES FOB DISPLAY.

The good old summer time is when
the retail florist does his houseclean-
ing, or his rebuilding and refurnishing
in anticipation of the busy season that
comes with the approach of frost.
And, like the housewife, summer is the
time the retail florist is interested in
ice-boxes, though for a different rea-
son. An ice-box is an all-the-year-
around necessity in a flower store, but
summer is the time when most of the
better ones are bought by florists.
Every flower store must have a hand-
some display case, though it is said by
the concern which builds more florists'
refrigerators than are sold by any
other manufacturer in America that
the popular stock size and style sells
for only slightly over $100. While it
is possible to buy a first-class box from
stock, many florists have boxes built
to order to fit in with some special
need. The illustration shows the dis-
play refrigerator in the new store of
C. L. Baum, 317 West Clinch street,
Knoxville, Tenn. It was built to order
by the Memphis Befrigerator & B. S.
Co., for icing from a secret door open-
ing on an alley, so that the store is
free from the muss usually made by
this necessary operation. The box is
nine feet bigh, four feet deep and ten
feet long. The ice chamber will hold
1,500 pounds.

It is interesting to note that the
Baums put their ice-box right next to
the front window, possibly on the the-
ory that the quicker a customer can
be served, the better. But a good
many florists, noting that practically
every customer goes to the display re-
frigerator for a look at the flowers, no
matter where the refrigerator may
stand, have located the box far enough
back to draw the customer away from
the door — where he can't get out so
easily. You know the department store
special sale is almost always in the
farthest corner of the place; they fig-
ure that if they can only get the peo-
ple in, it will be the manager's own
fault if anyone gets out without buy-
ing something.

STORE FITTING AND REFITTING.

Ice-box and Wall Cases.

Having planned the room proper,
with its plain, rich finishing, as sug-
gested in a previous article, let us pro-
ceed to discuss the few fittings which
will be necessary to the care of the
displays. The ice-box or cooling plant
should be finished to correspond with
the interior of the store and placed
prominently toward the front, but far
enough back to leave a good sized open
space behind the window for a possible
increase of window depth for special
decorations and a permanent floor room
for plants in vases, etc.

Adjoining the cooler, but more re-
tired, can be the wall cases for rib-

bons, baskets, ferneries, jardinieres
and art accessories. Many people con-
sider these cases indispensable, while
a few of the more advanced prefer to
display the goods only as used with
plants and flowers, considering the wall
space which the cases would occupy
more valuable as a background for the
filled plant baskets and the vases with
flowers. The extra basket and crock-
ery stock can be stored in roomy
cases on the wall of the balcony. A
ribbon case is the least desirable of
all for a salesroom.

Plain, But Handsome.

Where such cases are to be provided
in the salesroom, let them be plain,
as handsome as means will allow, and
roomy enough to hold the largest and
tallest baskets, with a smaller compart-
ment for the little novelties. Have
hooks on the under parts of the shelves

changed frequently according to the
kind of flowers to be shown, varying
with the seasons, etc. Other fittings
should all be movable.

Among other conveniences are low
tables on casters; also plenty of bark
pedestals, large and small, some slen-
der, some to hold a group of palms and
ferns. Have these on casters, too, so
that they may be pulled anywhere
about the store without unloading.
The tables just mentioned should not
be over two feet tall. They are con-
venient for small blooming plants.

Cozy Comer and Office.

No store is complete nowadays with-
out a cozy corner or half -screened seat,
with a desk, where a salesman may
retire with customers and discuss dec-
orative plans, look over photos and
take orders. Here the surroundings
should be suggested by your best taste
— a well ordered group of plants, some
comfortable seats, a desk, with cards,
note paper and envelopes, a clock, a
calendar, a vase of dainty flowers, etc.

A flower shop should resemble
neither a parlor nor a store. An ideal
one is a cross between a patch of
woods and an art gallery.

The office should be accessible, but
not prominent. Those who have busi-
ness with the office will look about for
it, but what one has for sale must be
thrust upon the customers at every

and on the sides for suspending bas-
kets. It is prudent to keep all basket
stock, except that in actual use, under
cover from dust. Fit the store, there-
fore, with few cases. Have no floor
cases at all. Keep as much floor space
as can be used for special displays.
Reserve one side wall for demonstra-
tions of decorative designs, to be

available turn, from one end of the
salesroom to the other.

No store should be without a rear or
side entrance, for shipping, receiving
stock, removing trash, etc.

One small wrapping counter or table
is permissible in the show room for
the every-day trade. Let it be con-
venient, but retired.

ICE BOXES FOR DISPLAY.

The good old suinmor time is when
the retail llorist does his houseclean-
ing, or his rebuilding and refurnishing
in anticipation of the busy season that
comes with the approach of frost.
And, like the housewife, summer is the
time ihe retail florist is interested in
ice boxes, though for a different rea-
son. An icebox is an all-the-year-
around necessity in a flower store, but
summer is the time when most of the
better ones are bought by florists.
Every flower store must have a hand
some display case, though it is said by
the concern which builds more florists'
refrigerators than are sold by any
other manufacturer in America that
the i)opular stock size and style sells
for only slightly over $100. While it
is possible to buy a first-class box from
stock, many florists have boxes built
to order to fit in with some special
need. The illustration shows the dis-
play refrigerator in the new store of
C. L. Baum, oi7 West Clinch street,
Knoxville, Tenn. it was built to order
by the Memphis Refrigerator & B. S.
Co., for icing from a secret door open-
ing on an alley, so that the store is
free from the muss usually made by
this necessary operation. The box is
nine feet high, four feet deep and ten
feet long. The ice chamber will hold
1,.")00 pounds.

It is interesting to note that the
Uauiiis put their iee box right next to
the front window, possibly on the the-
ory that the (juicker a customer can
be served, the better. But a good
many florists, noting that practically
every customer goes to the display re-
frigerator for a look at the flowers, no
matter where the refrigerator may
stand, have located the box far enough
back to draw the customer away from
the door — where he can 't get out so
easily. You know the department store
special sale is almost always in the
farthest corner of the place; they fig-
ure that if they can only get the peo-
ple ill, it will be the manager's own
fault if anyone gets out without buy-
ing something.

STORE FITTING AND REFITTING.

Ice-box and Wall Cases.

Having i)lanne<l the room proper,
with its plain, rich finishing, as sug-
gested in a previous article, let us i)ro-
ceed to discuss the few fittings which
will be necessary to the care of the
ilisplays. The ice-box or cooling plant
should be finished to correspond with
the interior of the store and placed
prominently toward the front, but far
enough back to leave a good sized open
space behind the window for a possible
increase of window depth for special
decorations and a permanent tloor room
for plants in vases, etc.

Adjoining the cooler, but more re-
tireil, can be the wall cases for rib-

bons, baskets, ferneries, jardinieres
and art accessories. Many jx'ople con-
sider tiiese cases indispensable, while
a few of the iuoto advanced prefer to
disj)lay the goods only as used with
I)lants and flowers, considering the wall
space which the cases would occupy
more valuable as a background for the
filled jilant baskets and the vases with
flowers. The extra basket and crock-
ery stock can bi> stored in roomy
cases on the wall of the balcony. A
ribbon case is the least desirable of
all for a salesroom.

Plain, But Handsome.

Where such cases are to be provided
in the salesroom, let them be plain,
as handsome as means will allow, and
roomy enough to hold the largest and
tallest baskets, with a smaller compart
ment for the little novelties. Have;
hooks on the under parts of the slielves

i-liangcd frequently acconling to the
ivind of (lowers to be siiown, \aryiiig
with the seasons, etc. Other liftings
should all lie movable.

Among other convenictices are low
tables on cisters; also plenty of bark
ju'destals, large .nnd small, sonu' slen-
der, some to hold a group of palms and
ferns. Ila\i^ tiiese on casters, too, so
that they may be pulit'd anywhere
about the store without uidoading.
The fables just mentioned slunild not
be over two feet tali. They are con
\enient for small blooming [ilanfs.

Cozy Corner and Office.

No stor<' is complete nowadays with-
out a cozy corner or half screened seat,
\vith a desk, where a salesman may
retire with custonK'rs and discuss dec-
orative plans, look over i)hotos and
take orders. Here the; surroundings
should be suggested by your best taste
- a well ordered grouj) of plants, some
comfortable seats, a desk, with cards,
note paper and envelopes, a clock, a
calendar, a vase of ilainty flowers, etc.

A flower shop should resemble
neither a parlor nor a ston;. An ideal
one is a cross betwt'cn a patch of
woods and an art }»allery.

The office should bt> accessible, but
not prominent. Thos(> who have busi
lu^ss with the oflice will look about for
it, but what one has for sale must be
thrust upon the customers at every

and on the sides for suspending bas-
kets. Jt is prudent to keep all basket
stock, except that in actual use, under
cover from dust. Fit the store, there-
fore, with few cases. Ifave no floor
cases at all. Keep as much floor space
as can be used for special displays.
Reserve one side wall for demonstra-
tions of decorative designs, to be

available turn, from one
salesroom to the other.

No store should be without a rear or
side entrance, for shipping, receiving
stock, removing trash, etc.

The Workroom.

It is a mistake to think that the
salesroom must be beautifully and con-
veniently fitted and the workroom
little more than a receptacle for
junk. It may be plain — so much the
better — but let it be well ventilated,
sanitary and convenient, with a proper
depository or trap door for waste.
Have it as large as possible and in
such a condition that, if necessary, a
customer may be ushered in without
embarrassment to anybody. Often a
workroom must be used for storing ex-
tra supplies. These should be so clas-
sified and labeled as to be instantly
available. As strict cleanness, neat-
ness and order should be required here
as in the office letter file.

The workroom ought to be a room
separated from the rest of the store,
where packing, unpacking, sorting and
preparing stock, as well as order work,
may go on without interruption.

General Hints.

The less gingerbread, grill work and
other fancy ornamentation you have
about your store, the better. Have the
best material your purse will allow, but
make it plain and let the decoration
consist of your own work, changed
oft^n.

At least two signs in front of the
store seem necessary — one to be read
as a person looks toward the front of
the store or from across the street, and
one which can be read a block or two
away, from up or down the street.

As to the lighting plans, a room of
ordinary size is best lighted with ceil-

ing lights and side brackets. Chan-
deliers are permissible only in large
rooms. Window lights ought to be
out of sight to the casual observer and
he must be conscious only of the il-
lumination from soft, shaded globes.

I used to see a flower store with a
marble fountain surrounded with easy
chairs — a poor mixture, to say the
least. Better have plain severity than
disjointed elegance.

Wherever the proportions of the
room are at fault, place your mirrors.
They will deepen a shallow space and
broaden a narrow space. G. B.

A COOL WINDOW.

The Eeview has from time to time
featured many of the special window
displays of W. J. Palmer & Son, Buf-
falo, the accompanying illustration
showing one which attracted much at-
tention during the recent heated spell.
Palmer & Son always have made a hit
with their special seasonable window
decorations, but this old mill, with its
pond of water lilies and live turtles, at-
tracted enough attention so that one
of the Buffalo daily papers devoted
nearly a column to a dissertation on it,
calling the window "a boon to the
public," and concluding that "it
wouldn't hurt some other firms who
pride themselves on appropriate and
beautiful window decorations to cool
off the people in these sweltering days
in as delightful a fashion."

FOBCED TO THE WALL—

And Through It!

People who didn't know what they
were talking about have said one never
can tell what the results of advertising
will be. You often hear it quoted. But
the fact is one can pretty nearly always
tell what will happen to the well ad-
vertised business. It will grow. A
man who knew how to reach the public
ear once started a small clothing store.
It wasn't long before passers-by were
startled to find across the front of the
building a sign with great letters:
"FORCED TO THE WALL"; and un-
derneath in not nearly so large print:
"And through it." Advertising had
resulted in taking in the store next
door.

The same thing has happened to
Penn, Boston's advertising florist.

Growth of the Penn Business.

Henry Penn, with a small boy as his
only assistant, built the foundations of
his present prosperous business when
he started twelve years ago in a small
store on Chapman place, opposite City

hall. Afterwards he waa joined by his
brother William, and for three years
they continued in that place, until the
number of their patrons had so largely
increased that a larger store became a
necessity. Then they located at 43
Bromfield street, in a store which
seemed ample for their needs. Pursu-
ing the progressive methods which
brought them success in the smaller
place, their business continued to grow
to such an extent that in nine years
twenty people and three teams were
required to handle the trade. In the
last two or three years the business has
grown with greater rapidity than ever
before, as constantly increasing sums
have been expended in advertising.

The Enlarged Store.

The accompanying illustration shows
the new Penn store front, now that the
growth of the demand has pushed them
through the wall, annexing the build-
ing numbered 35, 37 and 39 Bromfield
street as an addition to the old store
that they remodeled only about a year
ago, giving them a frontage of forty-
eight feet, a floor space of 1,890 feet
and a basement floor space of 1,600
feet. •

The new addition is finished in white,
with dark green trimmings, to corre-
spond with the old store. The floor
is laid with /i dark green battleship
linoleum. The posts are upholstered in
a dark green velvet. On the first or
front post there is a heavy leather seat
for the comfort of customers, while on
the second post there is an octagonal
writing desk, containing blank cards,
tags, envelopes, writing material, etc.

Large Showcase Facilities.

The refrigerator in the new addition
measures sixteen feet long, six feet
deep and nine feet high. It is built
entirely of glass, and can be seen

through the window from the outside,
being built directly adjoining the win-
dow. The back of the box is covered
with a plate mirror sixteen feet long.
In the rear of the store there is a
smaller refrigerator, for short-stemmed
flowers, such as gardenias, orchids,
sweet peas, valley, etc. They also are
completing a refrigerator in the new
basement, making a total of five re-
frigerators in both stores, three on the
first floor and two in the basement, for
the old store cbntains a refrigerator
twelve feet long, four feet deep and
eight feet high, as well as a wall case
six feet long in which to display rib-
bons. The refrigerators in the store
are floored with dark green mosaic
tiles and- are lighted with reflector
lights.

The new addition contains a large
wall case, eighteen feet long, for the
display of novelties and fancy ware,
a cashier's office and six aluminum-
framed work benches covered with
Carrara marble. The lighting scheme
includes five electric cluster lamps, the
fixtures being of a dull gold finish, cor-
responding with the fixtures in the old
store.

The window is finished in gold and
green. The ceiling in the window is a
gilt latticework, the fiooring of green
mosaic tiles, and the center is occupied
by an aquarium, with a fountain in the
center.

The basements of both stores are
used for storerooms for stock, such as
supplies, etc. In the rear of the old
store one finds Mr. Penn's private of-
fice and the bookkeeper's department.
The stores have two entrances and are
connected on the inside by an archway
in the center of the building.

GTeenvllle, S. C. — Emile Bovey has
purchased the Holland greenhouses and
anticipates a good business.

LEAF MINERS ON ASTERS.

Please find enclosed some leaves of
our asters. There is a worm working
on the leaves and it looks like a mag-
got. The plants are full of them. Will
vou kindly tell me what they are and
what I can do to get rid of them?

C. & W.

The aster leaves were received in a
perfectly fresh condition. They arQ
badly attacked by leaf miners, which
work on the inner tissues of the foliage
and are one of the most difficult of
pests to fight. During the present warm
season I have noted these or similar
pests on spinach, beets, plantains, mar-
guerites, hawthorns, elms and several
other flowering shrubs. I have not
hitherto seen aster leaves aflfected in
this way. To kill the pests at the pres-
ent stage will be difficult, but I would
advise spraying with Paris green at the
rate of one i)ound to 200 gallons of
water, and on the plants most badly
affected use in addition a nicotine solu-
tion of moderate strength, made from
one of the several reliable nicotine ex-
tracts on the market. This has proved
helpful on marguerite plants and may
help your asters. One who has been
using Aphine claims that it also will
rid plants of leaf miners. If poisons
of any kind can be placed on the foliage
before the eggs hatch, the miners will
do little damage, especially if the poison
is, like arsenate of lead, of an adhesive
nature. C. W.

Omaha, Neb. — The Omaha Florists'
Club will hold its fourteenth annual pic-
nic July 27, afternoon and evening, at
Courtland beach, where a large attend-
ance is expected and a good time for all
is promised. All the flower stores are
expected to be closed that afternoon, in
order to give everybody a chance to
attend the picnic.

BUILDING A FSOFAaATING BED.

I have solid beds in my houses and
wish to make a propagating bed. "What
is the best way to do it? I want it
on a side bed and will use it for carna-
tion cuttings. The bed is three and
one-half feet wide. "What number and
size of pipes should I use for bottom
heat? Should I build the bed and rest
it on the hot water pipes? My solid
beds are two and one-half feet high.
Please state the size and number of
flows and returns for a bed sixty feet
long. W. C. P. & C.

While it is not essential to have bot-
tom heat to root carnation cuttings, a
slight increase in the temperature
under the propagating bench will cause
them to root a little more quickly,
which is desirable, of course, where
large quantities are rooted each sea-
son. Do not overdo it, however, as too
strong bottom heat will cause your
carnation cuttings to come out of the
sand in a soft condition, which is far
worse than to have to wait a week or
two longer for the roots to strike.

If you want to build a permanent
propagating bed, tear out the solid
bed and build a raised bench of pecky
cypress, with cedar posts. Eun two
2x4 scantlings lengthwise, one at the
front and the other at the back of the
bench. Saw your bottom boards into
short lengths, to lie crosswise of the
bench. We find this better than to
run the boards the long way, as repair-
ing is done so much more easily and
the drainage is better.

Two or three 2-inch hot water pipes
are enough for all the bottom heat
you will need under this bench. These
pipes should be at least ten inches
away from the bottom of the bench.
Let the bench be whatever height from
the ground will be most convenient for
you in working at it. Sticking cut-
tings is an arduous task at best, and
one does not want to be in an uncom-
fortable position while doing the work.

CARNATIONS AT WILL BROS.

Will Bros., Minneapolis, planted C3,-
000 carnations in their houses during
the first week in June. The accom-
panying illustration shows one of these
houses, the front bench containing the
new Dorner variety. White Wonder. It
has made splendid growth and promises
an early crop of good blooms. Other
varieties grown in quantity are En-
chantress, White Enchantress, Victory,
Gloriosa, Dorothy Gordon and White
Perfection. While the season has been
somewhat dry, Will Bros,, by planting
early, were able to have good stock for
benching. They had 150,000 carnation
plants in the field.

In connection with their range of
160,000 square feet of glass, Will Bros,
have a farm of 200 acres, on which
there are several springs that never

fail, giving them a constant supply of
good water. They are at present busy
clearing away a hill where they will
put up another section of houses for
violets next season, having now 40,000
plants ready for benching.

-One of the illustrations shows a house
planted early with Killarney roses and
the third picture shows the residence
of the Will brothers, on the farm. The
shadow of one of the new greenhouses
shows in the corner of the picture.
Hugh Will is the active head of the
concern, assisted by his brother Charles.
Both the Will brothers are single and
reside with their mother and a sister.

WORMS IN COMPOST.

Can I use enough lime safely to rid
my compost of cutworms and wire-
worms for another season? C. A. P.

EUROPEAN NOTES.

A dusting of lime through the com-
post where cutworms are numerous will
help to clear them out. Some soft coal
soot can also be used with advantage,
or you can kill these and all other
larvae by boring holes in the compost,
pouring a teaspoonful of carbon bi-
sulphide into each hole and at once
closing the holes. Make the holes
eighteen inches apart each way. The
carbon fumes are more penetrating
when the soil is damp. Do not use any
naked light, as the carbon is of an ex-
plosive nature. C. W.

New Cumberland, Pa. — The public
sale of the property of John A. Kepner,

Great Flower Show in London.

The summer flower show of the E.
H. S., held in London in the first V:'eek
of July, was the largest ever held under
one roof in Ijondou.. Its leading fea-
tures were Japanese gardens, rose gar-
dens, rock gardens, sweet peas, roses
and carnations.

The coronation cup, for the exhibit of
greatest merit, was awarded to H. B.
May & Sons, Edmonton, for a great
bank of tropical ferns. It included
specimens of gigantic proportions, down
to tiny seedlings in endless variety, ef-
fectively arranged, and created a
great deal of interest.

The Olympia cup, for the best group
of roses, was won by "V^illiam Paul &
Son, Waltham Cross, who arranged a
garden of roses of exceptional merit.
Hugh Dickson, Belfast, was awarded a
gold medal for roses.

Japanese and Rock Gardens.

J. Carter & Co., London, delighted
everyone with a charmingly designed
Japanese garden, for which they re-
ceived a gold medal. Visitors never
tired of admiring its natural beauty,
and slowly wended their way over stone
bridges spanning tiny streams, and
along winding paths among bamboos,
water lilies, irises, etc. E. Wallace &
Co., Colchester, were also awarded a
gold medal for a rock garden, nicely
designed and skillfully carried out.

James Veitch & Son, London, excelled
in store and greenhouse plants, exhibit-
ing marvelous specimens of unsurpass-
able beauty in crotons, dracsenas,
alocasias, anthuriums, etc.; gold medal.

Orchids, Sweet Peas, Carnations.

The finest collection of orchids
was that from Charlesworth & Co., Hay-
wards Heath. Orchid specialists say
they never saw its equal in July; gold
medal.

who has a sure winner in K. F. Felton,
and from (J. Engelmann, Saffron Wal-
den.

Miscellaneous Groups. *

Among the large number of exc-cllent
exhibits it is difficult to specialize, but
a few of the groups that specially ar
rested attention were a marvelous dis-
play of orchids, roses and carnations
from Stuart Low & Co., Bush Hill
I'ark; a temple and pergolas of roses
from Hobbies, Ltd., Dereham; Carna-
tion White House from W. Wells & Co.,
Merstham; an immense array of del-
phinium spikes in all shades of blue
from Amos Perry, Enfield — no one could
possibly miss the blue of that great
bank of stately spikes; a pretty and
•most eflfective piece of gardening by
M. Prichard. Christchurch, in which
Japanese irises, astilbes, lilies and
other water-loving plants seemed quite
at home and permanently established;
sensational tuberous begonias from the
begonia specialists, Blackmore & Lang-
.lon, Bath, and T. S. Ware, Ltd.,
Feltham — great, big blooms, single and
double, on well cultivated plants, which
held visitors spellbound by their won-
derful size, rich color and general re-
finement, probably the finest ever seen;
clematis in variety from Jackman &
Son, Woking; phloxes from Gunn &
Sons, Birmingham — huge masses of
color in Coquelicot, Etna, Esperance,
Tapis Blanc, etc.; new zonal pelar-
goniums from H. Jones, Lewisham,
who has a fine strain of seedlings of
the Paul Crampel type, in several shades
of color; a new fuchsia of good promise,
Frau H. Ernst, from Gebruder Teupel,
tjuedlinburg, Germany. Bee.

them? J. R. S.

Snapdragons will succeed well in a
house with carnations. They like an
average winter minimum temperature
of 48 to 50 degrees. They can be
grown 5 degrees cooler and make strong
but slower growth in a colder house,
but will not flower much until spring.

The tall varieties are the best for
growing under glass, as they can be
cut with much longer spikes. Do not
l)urchase mixed seed, but separate pack-
ets each of pure white, yellow and
bright pink. These are the best selling
colors, the pink shades going particu-
larly well. There is also some call for
scarlet, but none for the dark crimson
or dull shades.

For Christmas fiowering the plants
should be bencheil early in September;
for blooming later in the season, during
November and December will do. Many
growers use them as a succession cro|>
to chrysanthemums. Plants can still
be raised from seed and grown on in
pots, but would have been stronger if
started early in July. You can also
get good plants from cuttings. Keep
the plants pinched back until benched
and allow four or five of the best
shoots to come up on each plant, to
produce fine spikes. Staking must be
done to keep the stems straight and the
side growths must be rubbed off the
flowering stem.

Soil which suits mums, roses or car-
nations will answer admirably for snap-
dragons. They enjoy a moderately rich
compost, and when in active growth
thev can be fed freelv. C. W.

STANDARD BATS.

What is the best way to manage
standard bay trees in tubs that have
made a growth of three inches? They
are quite healthy. J. M.

When the bay trees have completed
their growth, which should be now, any
necessary shearing or pinching should
be done. This trimming should be an
annual affair. When the plants are
small it may be done by simply pinch-
ing the shoots before they get too hard,
but as a general rule a pair of shears
is the best to use. Do not shear the
plants as you would a hedge. Trim the
shoots separately, as the leaves when
cut through are greatly disfigured.

WAXING IN POPUliARITy.

Time to Sow Pansies for Winter.

While it is yet somewhat early to
sow pansies for spring flowering, ex-
cept in the most northerly districts, if
any are wanted for winter blooming
they should be sown at once, except
from New Jersey southwards, where
perhaps a date a few days later will be
better.

Pansies are being more appreciated
each year as winter flowers. They will
never equal the violet in popularity in
this respect, but are worthy of more
attention than they have yet received
and are quite a i)rofitable crop. Like
the violets, they do not flower as freely
in the dark winter months as toward
spring, when they give a great crop of
flowers, and they bloom freely for many
weeks after violets are gone. Their re-
quirements are a cool house with a
winter minimum of 40 to 42 degrees, a
rich soil and an abundant water sup-
ply. Some shade on the glass is a
benefit after March, as it helps to keep
the plants cool. In funeral designs, and
also for wearing and for table decora-
tions, pansies are becoming of more im-
portance, being particularly adaptable
to successful culture in the colder
states, where they are always found at
their best. Pansies love a cool, moist
climate and in such they will flower
from early spring until winter. Only
in a few favored seaside places in the
most northerly' states, particularly in
Maine, are they, however, really satis-
factory summer bloomers, the heat and
drought in other sections being too
much for them.

Oood Varieties.

There are many choice strains of
large flowering pansies on the market.
Many are selections from or improve-
ments on Trimardeau, which remains
one of the best all-around varieties in
commerce today. The trouble is that
what some dealers call Trimardeau is
merely a hotchpotch mixture, but if the
true strain is got from one of the re-
liable dealers, many of whom advertise
in The Eeview, the seed will give satis-
factory results. The bulk of purchas-
ers accept or prefer mixed pansies, but
for bedding eff'ects and bunching sep-
arate colors are vastly better. Emperor
William, ultramarine blue; Lord Bea-
consfield, violet, upper petals fading
white; Queen of Blues, pale lavender
blue; Golden Gem, golden yellow, and
Snow Queen, pure white, are all good
Trimardeau sorts, which are good for
bedding-out purposes and produce fine
mass effects. Some people admire the
red shades. Cardinal, bright red, will
please them, while the Mme, Perret,
giant strain, though somewhat more
tender, produces immense flowers which
are chiefly of rich red and wine shades.

0«t the Best.

Now is a good time to buy pansy seed.
It is well not to wait until the last mo-

ment before ordering it. Do not pur-
chase cheap seed, as it will only give a
big proportion of small, miserable flow-
ers, which no one will want to buy. The
best seed is always the cheapest and
at the same time most profitable in the
long run. Unless many thousands of
plants are to be raised, a coldframe is
the best place in which to sow the seed.
Make the soil light and moderately
rich, and pulverize it well. Sow the
seed broadcast. Cover lightly. Keep
well watered and germination will take
place in eight or ten days. Once the
seed is up, avoid coddling and remove
the sashes. A covering or cheesecloth
for a few days is, however, beneficial.
If sown outdoors, beds three feet wide,
slightly raised, are good. After sowing,
water and give a light mulch of dry
moss, leaves or even newspaper, to pre-
vent too rapid drying out. Of course,
this must be removed as the seedlings
appear. A cheesecloth or lath shading,
raised a little above the ground, also
answers well in assisting to keep the
soil moist.

Viola Cornuta.

The true Viola cornuta, blue and
white, rarely gives more than a small
proportion of true plants from seed.
Cuttings are the best method of prop-
agation, taking these in late fall and
planting them quite thickly in sandy
loam in a coldframe, where they can be
wintered. The larger violas, such as
Papilio, violet lilac; Admiration, dark
blue; Mauve Queen, pale blue; White

Perfection, white, and grandiflora lutea,
golden yellow, are splendid bedders and
are specially good for using as a base
for tulips and other bulbous plants,
making an effective show when the
bulbs are gone also. In Europe there
is a great assortment of named varieties
of these violas and they occupy an im-
portant place as bedders, flowering in
profusion all sumnjer long.

WINTERING PANSY PLANTS.

I expect to gToyfi about 15,000 pansy
plants for spring aiales, but last season
about one-half my plants winter-killed,
although on dry, sandy ground with a
good slope, while those on wet, clayey
soil did not winter-kill, though not pro-
tected. Is there any sure protection
against winter-killing here, in the
southern part of Maine? C. A. P.

Last winter in your state was an
abnormally dry one and to this must
be attributed the dying out, not only
of pansies, but of many perennial
flowering plants, trees and shrubs. Dur-
ing the average winter, pansies on
ground with a gentle slope will winter
much better than those on lower land,
but we had little rain last year for sev-
eral months and even plants like
pansies could not stand it.

You ask whether there is any sure
way to carry over pansies. The best
plan, were you growing 1,500 or so,
would be to transplant into coldframes
and leave them there. Or, give them
a good soaking of water before the
ground freezes up; then, when the frost
has tightened up the soil well, give a , ^
light mulch of dry leaves and stand
sashes over them. If they are treated
thus, you will not lose any plants. If
perchance you have no sashes, the
plants will winter without them. Re-
move the mulch early in April in your
latitude. C. W.

SWEET PEAS FOR WINTER.

Will you kindly give us some infor-
mation on the growing of sweet peas
for winter? When do you plant the
seed? Will they do best in solid or
raised benches? What temperature do
they require? What are the best va-
rieties in pink, white and lavender?
Any information on this subject will
be appreciated. H. G.

Sweet peas for an early winter crop
should be sown from the middle to the
end of August. They can be sown in
small pots, in flats, or directly in the
rows where they are to flower. I pre-
fer to transplant from flats. Flowers
can be secured a little earlier from

raised benches, but the quality is never
so good or the flowering season so pro-
longed as from solid benches.

Sweet peas want a generous com-
post; good loam, with plenty of well
decayed cow or sheep manure spaded
in, is what they like. The drainage,
of course, should be good. They re-
quire copious waterings when in active
growth and flowering, and need ample
head room, not less than six feet, and
ten to twelve feet would be better.
Wide, lofty houses are now used by all
the specialists and the rows are run
lengthwise of the houses, four to six
feet apart. When the wider distance
is given, a crop of violets can be taken
out between them.

Sweet peas, when flowering, like an

average winter minimum temperature
of 48 to 50 degrees; earlier in the sea-
son 5 degrees lower will do. The best
forcing varieties are: Christmas
White or Florence Denzer, each pure
white; Christmas Pink, pink and
white; Wallacea, lavender; Mrs. W. W.
Smalley, satin pipk; Mrs. W. Sim, sal-

mon pink; Mrs. Alexander Wallace,
lavender. Later sowings for early
spring flowering can be made in Octo-
ber, while for Easter you can sow about
the middle of November. There will
be frequent cultural notes on winter
sweet peas in Ijiter issues of The Re-
view, which may interest you. C. W.

SEASONABLE

SUGGESTIONS

i

K^^^^^^^^^^^^.^^^^^^.'^s^^^^^^^^^^^^^.^^^.^^^.^^^.^^^^^^.'^m^^*^

Double Daisies.

The double pink, red and white dai-
sies, Bellis perennis fl. pi., are useful and
easily raised spring bedding plants.
They also sell well in baskets, put up
in the same way as forget-me-nots,
pansies and violas. As they germinate
quickly and grow rapidly, it is better to
sow them a few days later than the
pansies, August 1 being a good date for
the latitude of New York. They are
also useful for groundwork in bulb beds
and can be used to good advantage in
rockeries. They stand bright sunshine
better than pansies or myosotis. As the
seed is small, be sure to cover it lightly.

Hollyhocks.

Now, while hollyhocks are in bl'iom,
is the time to make a sowing of them in
order to secure strong flowering plants
for next season. They will germinate
satisfactorily either in coldframes or in
drills in the open, but, as we get long
spells of droughty weather in July and
August, germination is hastened and is
more satisfactory if they can be shaded
and watered for at least a few days.
The true Chateris strain of hollyhock
is still the best. These are practically
all double and can be secured either in
mixture or separate colors. To those
liking single and semi-double flowers the
Allegheny strain, which carries large
fringed flowers, can be recommended.
Wherever hardy perennial borders exist,
they lack one of their most telling sub-
jects if hollyhocks are absent.

Rockets.

The old-fashioned white and purple
rockets, Hesperis niatronalis, are fine
for cutting and are useful border plants.
In many places they flower just right
for Memorial day. There is also a
dwarf white variety, which is fine for
massing effects in perennial borders.
Sow the seeds of these early in August.
They germinate quickly and should be
transplanted to nursery rows a foot
apart during moist, cloudy weather.
They are hardy in nearly all sections
if given a mulch of leaves or straw over
winter. Dampness will kill them out
more quickly than cold. Planted thickly
over winter in a coldframe and given a
coating of leaves, they can be carried
over easily.

Coreopsis Orandiflora.

Coreopsis grandiflora is a fine June
flowering plant outdoors and, if the
seeds are kept cut oflf, will flower all
summer. While classed as a perennial,
it is better treated as a biennial. Seed
sown now will give flowering plants for

next June. They should be trans-
planted a foot apart, as they grow quite
rapidly and vigorously. As they are
not reliably hardy in many sections,
even when protected, it is better to
winter at least a good portion in cold-
frames, planting them outdoors early in
April. This plant is fine for cutting.
It makes a good pot plant. It can also
be grown in benches and, treated thus,
is specially useful for bouquet work at
Memorial day. The variety grandiflora
is much better than the old lanceolata.
The Californian form, Eldorado, has
extra large flowers.

Honesty.

Surely all florists should be willing
to sow a few seeds of honesty, not be-
cause the bulk of them are lacking in
this excellent virtue, but because Lu-
naria biennis, as honesty is botanically
called, is an interesting plant. The
purple and white flowers are not the
real attraction, but the silvery, round
seed vessels are splendid for winter
ornamentation. Sow the seeds now.
They germinate quickly. The plants
are perfectly hardy and no old-fashioned

garden is complete without a few
patches of this interesting old-time
favorite.

Asters.

Early asters, owing to heat and
drought, are hardly up to the average
this season, except in special cases,
where it has been possible to water
them. These early asters really net as
good money as the later and larger
ones. There is usually a glut in August
and September, with the flowers selling
at 25 cents to 40 cents per hundred,
whereas in July poor flowers easily
make $1 and those of better quality
double that ])rice, being decidedly
preferable to the undersized and spi-
dery carnations usually offered at that
season. The present summer has been
hot and deficient in moisture in many
sections. In some cases artificial water-
ing in some form can be applied, but in
nine cases out of ten the moisture must
come from the skies, and this being the
case we must assist nature in every
possible way if we want fine flowers.
Moderately low land, with a good depth
of soil, will produce superb asters in a
dry season. It is really surprising how
much drought the plants will stand if
the surface soil is kept constantly
stirred with the cultivator. Do not
water unless you can do it thoroughly;
it is far better to keep the surface
tickled. With a nice, loose mulch a
severe drought can be overcome satis-
factorily.

Look out for the black aster beetle,
which usually makes its initial appear-
ance at this season. Hand picking may
answer where a few plants only are
grown, but is utterly out of the question
when thousands are cultivated. Arse-
nate of lead will poison them, but it
whitens the foliage and renders the
flowers less salable. Paris green, used
at the rate of one jjound to 200 gallons
of water and applied through a fine,
misty sprayer, will not hurt the plants
and will speedily clean out the beetles.

ARSENATE OF LEAD.

■ Can you inform us where we can buy
lead of arsenic, or any other chemical
that can be used in destroying the
"green wigglers" on mums?

L. C. F. C.

L. C. F. C. should be able to buy ar-
senate of lead at any drug or paint
store. Though he speaks of it as lead
of arsenic, he undoubtedly means ar-
senate of lead. Arsenic is one of the
most deadly of poisons to plant life.
This is proved in using Paris green
that is not strictly pure, as the smallest
proportion of it will burn the foliage
of potatoes or any other plant that is
sprayed with it. Arsenate of lead, how-
ever, seems harmless to plant life, if
used in any reasonable proportion. It
is a valuable insecticide when rightly
handled. It discolors the foliage some-
what and should not be used too late on

that account, but may be used with per-
fect safety at this time of year.

Chas. H. Totty.

FOR CHRISTMAS FLOWERING.

We have a house that will be empty
until about January or February.
Would it be too late now to buy plants
of chrysanthemums that would come in
about Christmas f If not too late,
could you advise us as to variety and
culture? P. W. C.

There is still ample time to plant
a house with late mums for Thanks-
giving to Christmas flowering, though
the plants should be procured as soon
as possible. The best varieties to plant
would be White Chadwick, Yellow
Chadwick, Jeanne Nonin, W. R. Brock,
Nagoya and Bonnaffon. These will all
come in and give good results and may
be depended on to give satisfaction.

July 20, 1911.

NEW TOBE.

The Market.

The week ojiens with a recurrence of
extreme heat and humidity, followed
by refreshing showers. The general
verdict seems to be, "No .stock and no
business," for so several of the critics
express the situation. The hot wave
left many deaths in its wake, and the
only demand during the last week was
for funeral flowers. The scarcity of
white roses and carnations was marked,
but prices did not advance and evi-
dently the long summer stagnation has
begun. Dullness has prevaifed in the
society resorts, but some improvement
is now noted. Newport has been de-
cidedly dull, but the boom there seldom
materializes before August.

Few roses from the new ]»lanting are
arriving of any quality or length of
stem. Those which are worth while
are f^\i and far between, and sell read-
ily to the leading stores. There are few
good Beauties, and 25 cents is top for
them. A few excellent Kaiserin are
offered and Maryland and Killarney
will again arrive before the week
is over, uj) to usual standard of bud
and stem. There is no change to re-
port in the orchid market. Some fine
gigas are constantly on tap. They sel-
dom rise above 50 cents. Carnations
were somewhat firmer at the close of
the week, owing to the limited ship-
ments of good blooms, but $1 per hun-
dred would buy the best of them,
(iladioli are abundant and values retro-
grading. Soon the local growers will
flood the market and the price will
drop to 50 cents per hundred.

The heat affected the lilies badly,
many arriving wilted and almost un-
salable; $5 per hundred was easily ob-
tainable for the selected. Valley holds
at ]>revailing prices, $2.50 per hundred
being the top grade quotation.

Asters have begun their invasion.
Smilax drags and large quantities have
been disposed of as low as 50 cents per
dozen .strings. Prepared oak and mag-
nolia leaves prove as popular as ever
and every retailer keeps his stock of
wreaths replenished daily.

There is no diminution in the sweet
pea suppl}', but little of it is of the
high grade the market will encourage.

The philosophers have all accepted
cheerfully the inevitable conditions of
the "good old summer time" and are
waiting patiently for the business boom
that is assuredly coming this fall and
winter, unless all signs fail.

Various Notes.

Secretary Fellouris, of the Greek-
Americau Florists' Association, reports
final results of the outing last week as
away ahead of all records of the so-
ciety to date.

It is said the contemplated outing of
the K Y. and N. J. Growers' Associ-
ation will include a trip to Glen Island
and one of the famous shore dinners of
tliat resort, so pleasantly remembered by
all who attended the S. A. F. conven-
tion at New York some years ago.

Meyer, of Badgley, Riedel & Meyer,
Inc., left July 16 for a two weeks' so-
journ in the Catskills. Mr. Biedel and
familj- are at the seashore for the
summer, and Mr. Badgley says life at
Summit is a perpetual holiday. He
already is sending in some fine new
stock of Killarney and White Killarney.

Lord & Burnham Go. has just com-
pleted the engagement to erect for

Thomas Roland, of Nahant, Mass., an
iron-frame greenhouse 50x600 feet.

.los. J. Ijovy and family are enjoying
their summer outing at one of the cool
resorts in the Catskills.

It is reported that Alexander J.
Guttman contemplates returning to his
first love and reentering the ranks of
the wholesale florists of Twenty eighth
street this fall.

A. Moltz and family are in the coun-
try, ivir. Moltz is rapidlv improving in
health.

Nicholas Lecakes is spending his
week ends with his family at his Con-
necticut farm.

Mr. Moore, of Moore, Hentz & Nash,
finds a glowing demand from the west-
ern metropolis for his orchids, and ships
daily grand cattleyas to his Chicago
agents. Mr. Moore celebrates soon
the thirty-third anniversary of his mar-
riage.

John Krai and wife have been enjoy-
ing a holiday up state and are now
motor-boating in their own ship on
Long Island sound. E. Hanft, also a
salesman for Moore, Hentz & Nash, is
back from his vacation.

H. E. Froment is leading the stren-
uous life with his bookkeeper, lieuten-
ant and several employees away for
their resting spell.

AVm. P. Ford is enjoying his annual
rest on his farm at Chadds Ford, Pa.,
a healthful and charming elevation.

Every wholesaler is now taking ad
vantage of the summer lull and making
things bright and beautiful for the fall
openings.

Early closing is more and more
popular.

J. K. Allen and Mrs. Allen left July
15 for a two weeks' outing at Oxford,
N. Y.

The lily shipments reach into the
thousands daily at P, .T. Smith's, as
usual, but the hot spell deteriorated
man J- of them.

Wm. H. Kuebler, Brooklyn, is back
from the Shriners' convention at Roch-
ester.

Some impressive fish stories are com
ing in from Asbury Park and the High
lands, where Joseph A. Fenrich and
Clarence Saltford are sojourning.

Geo. A. Kuhl, of Pekin, HI., and
Mrs. Kuhl are to spend their summer
at Asbury Park, N. J., motoring from
there to the Baltimore convention.

O. V. Zangen, Hoboken, N. J., has
added to his force of canvassers J. M.
Fischer, formerly with Thorburn & Co.

A. M. Heushaw left England for
home July 13.

W. H. Siebrecht's stand in the Coo
gan building is again open, with .Toseph
Vocke in charge as usual.

The Long Island Florists' Bowling
Association, of Astoria, sent over some
of its crack bowlers to the New York
alleys Friday evening, July ]4. This
club will have its own team at Balti-
more. The bowling average competi
tion for Mr. Pierson's balls has closed.
with few competitors, only half a dozen
maintaining their interest every night
during the long season, Messrs. Chad
wick, Manda, Nugent, Shaw, Scott and
Kakuda having seldom been absent.

The Market.

The market conditions last week
were bad and little can be added to
what was reported in the last issue.
The weather conditions have had a
great deal to do with this, the tem-
peratures playing from 90 to 100 de-
grees in the shade all of the week, with
no rain to amount to anything for the
last six weeks. Really first-class
cut stock is by no means easy to ob-
tain and a good deal of hustling is
necessary to secure enough to fill or-
ders.

There are a few roses coming in that
are of the first grade. Carnations are
scarce and the best now are usually
classed as second grades. Sweet peas
have succumbed to the heat. Asters
are coming in and the best clean ui>
at once. Gladioli are more plentiful
and down in price. Extra good valley
and lilies can be had daily. All out-
door stock comes in poor, showing the
c'fl'ect of the dry weather.

Club Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Florists' Club took place 'ihursday
afternoon, July 13, at 2 o'clock. There
was a great deal of interest displayed
by the members in all matters that
came before the meeting. The attend-
ance was encouraging to the officers, as
thirfy-five members braved the hot
afternoon and took part in three hours
of interesting business matters.

Chairman Guy of the trustees report-
ed that everything was in readiness for
the club's annual picnic. A telegram
was read from Secretary 'Pyfer of the
Chicago Florists ' Club asking the
members who will go to the S. A. F.
meeting to join them in their special
at Cincinnati on their way to Balti-
more. This was placed in the hands
of State A'ice-president Weber, who
has the transportation in charge.

A letter was read from the Retail
Florists' Association asking coopera-
tion with them on bill No. 13, now in
the hands of the House of Delegates,
to eliminate the crepe puUors, as the
city counselor has put his O. K. on it,
making the bill constitutional.

David Geddes was elected to mem-
bership and H. Werner, a grower at
Clayton, made application. The nom-
ination of officers resulted as follows:
President, Robert J. Windier; vice
jiresident, C. E. De Wever and Frank
V'^enneraann; secretary, J. J. Beneke;
treasurer, William C. Smith. A. J.
Bentzen having resigned as trustee, the
nominations for his one-year term were
William C. Young and C. C. Sanders;
for the three-year term, J. F. Am-
mann and Frank A. Weber were nom-
inated.

Election of officers will take place at
the next meeting of the club, Thurs-
day afternoon, August 10.

Various Notes.

Maurice F. Widmer, of Highland,
111., has bought the flower establish-
ment of Ammann & Johann at East St.
Louis, HI. He took charge .Tuly 15.

Lurlwig Zimmer, the Biddle market
florist, has closed his store for the
summer and left July 13 for New York.
From there he will take the steamer
for a visit to his old home in Hamburg,
to return September 1.

Messrs. Kuehn, Angermueller, "Bern-
ing and Smith, our wholesalers, have

W. C. Young, vice-president of the
C. Young & Sons Co., will take a two
weeks' vacation trip to Atlantic City,
N. J. Miss Frances Kling, his head
clerk, starts this week for a two weeks'
vacation trip to Colorado Springs,
Colo.

The florists on South Grand avenue
have agreed to close their stores every
other evening at 6 p. m. K. J. Windier,
C. Bergstermann and Charles Beyer
have been quite busy the last week
with a lot of funeral work.

Alexander Geranios, of the Metro-
politan Floral Co., at Grand and Olive
streets, is making plans for enlarging
the present quarters. Mr. Geranios
says more room is badly needed.

J. F. Ammann reports that his place
at Edwardsville, 111., is now in the
hands of the J. F. Ammann Co., and
that the company will be in great
shape the coming- season. His east
side store was sold to M. F. Widmer,

known as "rain makers."

Tower Florist is moving this week
from Florissant and Grand avenues to
2024 East Grand avenue.

each year, comes in time for a day's
outing at the florists' picnic.

C. Young & Sons Co. held a stock-
holders' meeting last week at the office,
1406 Olive street. The election of offi-
cers resulted as follows: President,
James Young; vice-president and gen-
eral manager at greenhouses, W. C.
Young; secretary. Miss Edna Young,
daughter of the late John Young; treas-
urer and general manager of the cut
flower department, Charles Young.

There are many alterations and much
building going on among the Kirkwood
florists. This and hauling water from
nearby ponds keeps them busy daily.
They are still badly in need of a good,
soaking rain. The plants in the field
are suffering greatly.

Charles Schoenle, of the Schoenle
Floral Co., returned home from a few
days' trip to Kansas City. While there
he made the rounds of the trade and
all seem prosperous.

The following visitors were here last
week: J. Johann, of CoUinsville, 111.;
J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111.;

Widmer, of Highland, 111. The ma-
jority of them called Thursday and
spent the afternoon at the meeting of
the Florists' Club. J. J. B.

BOSTON.

The Market.

There is no great amount of business,
but, while orders are not numerous,
flowers are far from abundant. Many
growers are sending in nothing at all.
Most of the carnation specialists are
busy replanting. Some have already com-
pleted this work and flowers from the
new crop will appear sometime in Au-
gust. Many of the carnations seen are
hardly worth picking, and price fluc-
tuations are almost as wide as the poles.
For some, 25 cents per hundred would
be a high figure. Good flowers, how-
ever, make $1 to $1.50 and some fine
whites as much as $3. The call for
white flowers has been good for July,
owing to the high death rate conse-
quent on the hot wave.

Eoses are holding up fairly well, con-
sidering the intense heat, and Killar-
ney, Carnot, Mrs. Aaron Ward and
Beauty are leaders. Some fair Eich-
mond and quite good Ehea Eeid are
also seen. Sweet peas are of poor
quality. The heat ruined the crops of
many growers. Asters have also suf-
fered from heat and are not yet plenti-
ful. The second planting will come in
this week and relieve the scarcity.
There is a good supply .of cornflowers,
gypsophila and candytuft. A few
snapdragons still come in. Valley has
been selling better. Longiflorum lilies
are selling quite well. Candidums are
done, but a few speciosum are arriving.
Callas are still good from one or two
growers. Cattleyas are in small supply.
C. Harrisoniffi is now a useful variety.
There is no great call for either adian-
tum or asparagus and some "rowers of
these are not cutting, unless ordered.

Summer Exhibition.

The long heat wave, added to exces-
sive drought, proved too much for sweet
peas .and what is usually an interesting
and representative show was, from force
of circumstances, of quite small propor-
tions July 15 and 16. Sweet peas were
neither of quality nor in the quantity
usually seen. W. J. Clemson, J. D.
Christensen, gardener, was the largest
and most successful exhibitor. Col. F.
Mason, E. L. Lewis, gardener, also
showed creditably. E. & J. Farquhar &
Co. had a splendid array of hardy flow-
ers. One table was entirely filled with
the beautiful new Chinese Lilium myri-
ophyllum, all of outdoor culture. Sev-
eral other new Wilson lilies were also
shown for the first time. In addition
they had a fine collection of hemerocal-
lis. Iris Kempferi, delphiniums and
other seasonable perennials. Mrs. E. M.
Gill was, as usual, on hand with an in-
teresting display. There were fine dis-
plays of fruits and vegetables.

E. & J. Farquhar & Co. received a
silver medal for group of Lilium myrio-
phyllum, certificate of merit for Lathy-
rus latifolius White Pearl, and honor-
able mention for new unnamed Chi-
nese lilies and Japanese iris. Dr. H.
Kennedy received honorable mention
for Japanese iris.

Various Notes.

Arrangements are all completed and
programs issued for the annual picnic
of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club in
Caledonian grove. West Eoxbury, July
26. The sporting events number nine-
teen and it is desired to start the Com-
mercial vs. Private baseball game as
I soon after 10 a. m. as possible. A fine

array of prizes has been secured and
only fair weather is needed to make the
affair the best ever. To reach Cale-
donian grove take an elevated train to
Forest Hills; from there a Charles Eiver
car direct to the grove. The fare is
only 5 cents from any part of the Bos-
ton elevated system.

Many of the leading salesmen and
growers have chartered a steamer for a
fishing excursion to Swampscott July
21. This annual outing always attracts
a large attendance and those attending
have one of the times of their lives.

N. F. Comley, wife and family are
enjoying a vacation at their summer
cottage at Bastins Island, near Port-
land, Me. Eobert Montgomery will go
to his cottage on the same island early
in August.

Gustave Olsen, of Woburn, who was
married two weeks ago, has returned
from his wedding trip spent at Caribou,
Me., and has reappeared at the Boston
Cooperative Market.

H. W. Vose, of Hyde Park, is at
present once of the leading shippers of
asters, candytuft, gypsophila and bach-
elor's buttons, for all of which he finds
a ready sale.

A. F. Scott, of the Willow Hill Green-
houses, West Eoxbury, has a fine sum-
mer crop of Bouvardia Humboldtii, in
addition to his other specialties.

The King Construction Co. is finish-
ing work on an addition 60x150 for the
Montrose Greenhouses. Eber Holmes is
still busy constructing new concrete
benches and doing a lot of repair work.
Roses grown here still hold up well for
the season.

William H. Carr, a leading salesman
at the Boston Mower Exchange, left
July 19 for a trip to Montreal.

William H. Elliott, wife and family
are now at their summer home in Mad-
bury, N. H. Mr. Elliott hopes to be on
hand for the S. A. F. convention, how-
ever.

H. W. Field, of Northampton, is at
present one of the leading shippers of
longiflorum lilies to the Boston Flower
Exchange. He is also sending in some
excellent roses.

Aubrey A. Pembroke, of Beverly, con-
tinues to send in quantities of fine car-
nations. While ordinary flowers have
been hard to move at any price, he has
had no trouble in securing $3 per hun-
dred for his White Enchantress.

William McAlpine is enjoying his va-
cation at his farm in Exeter, N. H.,
having left for there July 15.

The Lord & Burnham Co. has secured
the contract for one of Thomas Eo-
land's new houses at Eevere, the dimen-
sions of which will be 50x600.

N. F. Comley picked sixty-two and
one-half bushels of tomatoes July 14,
his largest pick of the season. He has
800 boxes of glass bought for a new
house at Lexington.

H. M. Eobinson & Co. are receiving
among other flowers a fine grade of
Beauties, cattleyas, gardenias and val-
ley. They report something doing all
the time and July business ahead of a
year ago.

S. S. Greene, of Southworth & Greene,
West Stoughton, is spending his vaca-
tion at Scituate, Mass. His firm spe-
cializes in double violets and sweet
peas, which they grow splendidly. They
do not handle tomatoes' or cucumbers,
as some violet growers do.

H. F. Calder, of Norwood, is one of
the few growers who is getting a fine

grade of sweet peas at present. Mr.
Calder is one of our leading double
violet growers.

Peter Fisher says that the intense
heat delayed the planting of his carna-
tions somewhat, but he is now pushing
the work to completion as rapidly as
possible. Stock benched early is look-
ing well.

Daniel Hay, formerly of North Eas-
ton and Waverly, Pa., is now head
gardener to Mrs. Elsie French Vander-
bilt. Harbor View, Newport, E. I.

Robert Hutchins, of Stoughton, is
one of the few fortunates who are get-
ting a splendid picking of sweet peas
just now.

John McKenzie, of North Cambridge,
one of our leading bedding plant spe-
cialists, left July 8 for a trip to Scot-
land.

W. B. Goodenow, of Stoughton, has a
heavy pick of tomatoes of the Comet
type. Leonard Cousins, of Concord
Junction, is also picking from six large
houses.

Peirce Bros, have nearly all their old
carnations thrown out and are rushing
the planting of new stock as rapidly as
possible. W. N. Craig.

PITTSBUEO.

The Market.

About one hour in the morning cleans
up everything that comes in, and dur-
ing the rest of the day the wholesale
salesmen put in their time answering
the 'phones, saying, "Not a thing in
the house. ' ' There is not much more
doing among the retailers, but they
always need a little something and
they are having their own trouble in
getting that.

Carnations and sweet peas almost
dropped out of sight last week. Asters
are not here, and the reports from the
aster growers are not encouraging.
There are some good lilies. Beauties and
valley, with a few good gladioli and
roses, but they are only a drop in the
bucket — not nearly enough to take care
of the trade.

Various Notes.

The Zieger Co. baseball club defeated
the A. W. Smith Co. club, with a score
of 19 to 3. The A. W. Smith Co. club
defeated the Randolph & McClements
club, 10 to 2. The Randolph & Mc-
Clements club played the Zieger Co.
club on Tuesday evening, July 18. They
say Billy Hall is a fine coacher, but
does not have much success as a batter.

A committee consisting of E. C.
Reineman, T. P, Langhans and W. Q.
Potter has been appointed to arrange
for the annual club picnic. While the
date has not been set, the members of
the committee say they will arrange
for a grand day, with everything that
goes with it.

No decided arrangement has been
made for attending the convention. The
extremely hot weather had the boys
"bluffed," but, now that it is getting
cooler, the usual crowd will undoubtedly
be falling ' into line. If those going
will call up the Pittsburg Cut Flower
Co. they can get information regarding
the fare, etc. It is also important to
know how many are going, so that a
car may be secured for the party.

There is a rumor that W. S. Kidd,
of Beaver, Pa., lost all his glass by
hail during the storm a week ago.

Hoo-Hoo.

PEOVIDENCE.

The Market.

This city and vicinity has just passed
through one of the hottest spells of
weather, lasting for more than a fort-
night, that has ever been experienced
here, the thermometer day and night
during the entire period averaging
higher than 90 degrees and going
above 100 day after day. This, with
the fact that there has not been any
rainfall of any consequence in two
months, has brought about a condition
that bodes ill for the florist.

So severe has the weather been that
in almost every instance where outdoor
work was in progress it was necessary
to call the men off. This has been
detrimental in cases where greenhouse
construction was going on and the
growers have been set back several
weeks in actual work as well as in con-
ditions for fall work.

Seldom has there been such a large
demand at this season of the year for
flowers for funeral work, but flowers
have been unusually scarce, there be-
ing comparatively no carnations, sweet
peas and asters, while roses have not
been up to standing either in quality
or quantity. Prices, however, have
shown no advance.

Various Notes.

John Burke, of the Burke Rose Co.,
was a visitor in Worcester and North-
bridge, Mass., last week.

Robert Shoch, representing M. Rice

was also at Bridgeport when the Fed-
eral Express was wrecked, with more
than a dozen killed.

Broad street, are looking for an ex-
perienced man for lawn and grading
work.

Joseph Kopelman is contemplating
the erection of several more new houses

under construction at present.

It was so hot last week that men
working on the new greenhouses of Al-
bert Holscher, in Johnston, and J. Ko-
pelman, at Oaklawn, as well as upon
the construction work for Timothy
O'Connor, on Blackstone boulevard^
and Lawrence Hay, in East Providence,
had to quit work.

William H. Luther, of South Provi-
dence, has returned from a three
months' recreation trip in Europe.

has been on a fishing trip. He is tell-
ing some interesting stories of how
the largest one got away. W. H. M.

PHILPOTT AND PYFEE EN EOUTE.

H. A. Philpott and A. T. Py-
fer, president and secretary of the
Chicago Florists' Club, visited Cincin-
nati and neighboring cities last week.
When asked for some account of the
trip Mr. Pyfer said:

"Arriving at Cincinnati, we were
met by the president of the Florists'
Society, C. E. Critchell, Vice-president
William Murphy, Treasurer Forter, J.
A. Peterson and R. Witterstaetter, who
gave us a cordial welcome and kept us
in hand until after the club meeting,
which was full of interest. As it was
election night, there was a good at-
tendance. On account of so many of
the florists planning their vacations at
the same time as the S. A. F. conven-
tion, there will not be a large attend-
ance from Cincinnati.

"July 11 we accepted a cordial in-
vitation from J. A, Peterson, the well
known begonia grower, to have dinner
with him. He was the first one in that
vicinity to have fresh tomatoes and
corn from his own garden, and you can
rely on our judgment that they were
fine, as was the spring chicken. Mr.
and Mrs. Peterson left for Europe
July 14. After taking us for a drive
through the park and various points of
the city, we called on the new club
president, Gus. Adrian, whom we
found to be an exceedingly busy man.
Trade in general is quiet, with little
stock in the market.

"At Louisville we were met by
George Schulz, son of Jacob Schulz,
the leadiag florist of that city, and
from the time we landed there until
our departure we were given a demon-
stration of real Kentucky hospitality.
There was nothing left undone. After
spending the afternoon seeing the city
parks and other points of interest by
automobile, we were joined by his fam-
ily and others and enjoyed a supper
in Shawnee park. Mr. Schulz has
something in the way of a novelty in
a huge electric sign just across the
street from his store, which can not
but attract everyone's attention. One
feature of the electric sign is a rose.
First the stem and leaves of the rose
appear in green, then the pink bud,
which afterwards bursts into an
American Beauty in full bloom. Louis-
ville is strong for the S. A. F. con-

vention in 1912, and it surely is a
beautiful place, and from the number
of new hotels there should be no
trouble for all visitors to find accom-
modation.

"At Dayton, O., we found W. G.
Matthews busy as usual at his green-
houses, but he was not too busy by
any means to give us a warm welcome
as well as an automobile trip around
the city most of Friday afternoon.
We called on George Bartholomew, of
the Miami Floral Co., who sailed for
Europe July 17. Mr. Matthews is a
man who believes in thorough adver-
tising. We found he had on hand capS/
of all sizes and quantity for workmen,
as well as palm leaf fans, drinking
cups and, in fact, anything useful he
could find room to put his name on.
These are distributed freely, not only
among his patrons, but to anyone who
can use such an article.

"We find the sentiment quite
strongly in favor' of having the next
S. A. F. convention at Louisville, and
there will be a good delegation from
all these cities. I think Louisville
will have enough for a special car,
which will join the Chicago special at
Cincinnati. We think that enough
more will join at Cincinnati and
surrounding territory to make up an- ,
other car, therefore making the Presi-
dent's special leaving Chicago a grand
train -to the convention at Baltimore. ' '

The Market.

Business is fairly good, with hardly
enough flowers to do business with. Car-
nations are scarce and of poor quality.
Roses are short of the demand, though
some growers are cutting from young
stock, which is fairly good. Some fine
gladioli are coming in.

Various Notes.

Miss Cora Pherson, bookkeeper for

William Murphy, is away on her vaca-
tion at Winchester, Ky.

The new quarters of P. J. Olinger
and Charles Jones, his partner, are fine
and commodious; situated in the La-

HUCIETT OF AHEBICAM FLORISTS.

Incorporated by Act of Congress, March 4, 1901.

Officers for 1911: President, George Asmus, Chi-
c«go; vice-president, R. Vincent, Jr., White Marsh,
Md.; secretary, H. B. Dorner, Urbana, 111 ; treas-
urer, W. F. Easting, Buffalo, N. Y.

Annual convention, Baltimore, Md., August li to
18 1911.

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

Mum plants were scarce this season.
Even yet there is an unsatisfied demand.

Cut flowers have become scarce all over
the eastern half of the United States,
the section aflfected by the recent heat
and present drought.

When you telegraph an order add the
code word * ' Transmit, ' ' which means
"Mentioned in your advertisement in the
Florists' Review."

The dry weather is costing the trade a
great deal of money. Asters and gladioli
are suffering severely and in most locali-
ties sweet peas were quickly finished off.

If the dry weather keeps up, carnations
will go into the houses under none too
favorable conditions and a little later
there will be a scarcity of field-grown
plants.

Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.

President Asmus says the campaign
for new members of the S. A. F. is pro-
ducing good results and that there will
be a large addition to the roll before the
opening day of the convention.

The man who has to be shown before
he will grant credit, and the one who
wants his money the day it is due, are
taking their summer vacations together,
while the men of lax methods swelter on
the job.

The express companies are being at-
tacked in Congress by the Interstate Com-
merce Commission, by the parcels post
people, by the States, and from many
other angles. Pity 'tis the pressure can
not all be put on one spot — then some-
thing would give way at once.

Not always, but nearly always, you
can tell which houses are most strict on
credits and collections by noting which
do the largest business. The firm that
is lax ou credits seldom gains a place at
the head, and still less frequently holds
a lead for -any length of time unless
methods change.

LONSDAItE WANTS TO KNOW.

If the National Educational Associa-
tion can hold a convention in San Fran-
cisco in 1911, which is now in session,
15,000 strong, why can not the Society
of American Florists hold its conven-
tion in the same city in 1915? It would
be educational to the fullest extent, if
only the members could see what is
being done horticulturally on the Pa-
cific coast. It would be beneficial to
all concerned, no doubt about that.
Edwin Lotisdale.

OETTINa TOQETHEB.

One of the pleasantest features of
the S. A. F. convention is the getting
together in parties at the principal cen-
ters for the journey to the convention
city. Whenever these parties fore-
gather everyone who can do so always
is expected to join in. Here are the
routes of the principal parties for the
trip to Baltimore:

New York to Baltimore.

Via B. & O. R. R., leaving West
Twenty-third street. New York, at 11:50
a. m., Monday, August 14, arriving at
Baltimore 4:15 p. m. Address F. H.

street.

Boston to Baltimore.

Via Fall River line to New York,
leaving south terminal at 6 p. m. Au-
gust 13, joining the New York special
train via the B. & O. Fare $8.65 round
trip. Address W. A. Hastings, C Park
street, Boston.

Chicago to Baltimore.

Via Monou railroad to Cincinnati,
and via B. & O. Cincinnati to Balti-
more. Leave Chicago 11:30 p. ni. Au-
gust 13; leave Cincinnati 8 a. m. Au-
gust 14, arriving at Baltimore at 11
p. m. This will be the President's Spe-
cial. Low fares ou summer excursion
tickets. Address Herbert Wiley, G. A.,
104 South Clark street, Chicago.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Business is taking a modest little
boom. The oldest inhabitants never
have seen a better July market than
the one Chicago has been having since
July 14; indeed, the demand is just a
little too good, for it has been neces-
sary for some wholesalers to turn down
orders, while many other orders have
been cut.

The change in the strength of the
market appears to be the result of
weather conditions. The extreme heat
earlier in the season put a lot of crops
to the bad, and the cooler weather
which prevailed early this week had the
effect of retarding the crops under
glass. The result has been a light sup-
ply, not only in Chicago, but apparently
all through the central west. Whole-
salers in other cities have been wiring
to Chicago for stock, where a few weeks
ago they were shipping their surplus
here. The orders are as numerous as
in winter, though naturally they are not
so large. Practically everything is sell-
ing. Quality cuts little figure; every-
thing goes, and at prices which should
be thoroughly satisfactory to the pro-
ducers.

The Beauty crops are lighter and
there has been an advance in prices.
Not a great deal can be said for the
quality, as in most cases it is hardly up
to standard. Still, the buyers are not

Big quantifies in the three colors

There are just three varieties of Gladioli that the retailers really want — Americaf Augusta

and Mrs* Francis King — the best light pink, white and red. Our local outdoor crop of these

now is on (the same stock you got of us last summer ^ and we can furnish these three varieties in

thousand lots.

We tiave these cut tight for shipping, so Jletailers can carry them in stock without losing a single spike— it takes
several dajs for all the flowers to open.

KILLSRNEYS

You can*t beat these anywhere.

We are handling a large cut of Killarneya grown especially for the
summer crop. Most of them run to medium and long steuis, and you
know that the longer the stem the larger and finer the flower is The Pink
Killarneys have the best color we ever have seen on summer roses. If you
are not using these rosea, order some at once

Specially strong* on the 6c, 8c and 10c grades.

BEAUTIES

From youngs plants— mostly medium stems.

Year after year we have supplied the trade with the finest Beauties avail-
able in summer. Not only has the quality of our summer crop been excep-
tionally good, but our growers have been able to maintain a steady supply
—we have been able to furnish the best Beauties all the time. All lengths
of stem.

EASTER LILIES

You can get here all the Lilies you need. We have a big supply of fine
home-grown stock; these are just the thing for funeral work, also decora-
tions. Order some today, and every day— always can supply.

critical and are paying gladly fully as
much as the same Beauties would realize
in winter. One of the features of the
market in the last six days has been
the increase in the demand for short
roses. Previous to the middle of the
month there were plenty of the short
grade, the demand being largely for
the medium and long stems. This week
everything is selling, the short roses
being in active request for funeral
work, which seems to be heavy. Long
roses now are scarce, most of the stock
being medium to short, cut from young
plants. Killarney continues to show
splendid color. The novelties among
roses are selling well.

Carnations are becoming less plenti-
ful day by day and it will not be long
until all the old plants under glass are
thrown out to make room for the new
stock. Such as are now being received
are of fair summer quality, the growers
having naturally thrown out the poorest
houses first. Anything that is at all
good in carnations is in active demand,
for the dry weather has resulted in
asters being later than usual. Few are
received and these few are mostly short
and small, but they sell well neverthe-
less. The outdoor crop of gladioli is
coming in much stronger this week and
prices in this department are lower
than they were a week ago, in spite of
a considerable improvement in the
quality of the stock offered. Even val-
ley has been short of the demand this
week. There is little call for cattleyas
and no heavy receipts. Sweet peas have
been burned up, though a few still come
in. The list of flowers is about at the
lowest of the year.

Why It Pays.

One thoughtful large producer of
roses for this market doubts if there is
any profit in summer roses. He says
the chief advantage is in making it pos-
sible to keep up his advertising and fill
his orders, thereby holding his cus-
tomers so that "the other fellow" can-
not win them away during a time when
good stock is scarce.

times committee, says that all arrange-

ments have been completed for the
biggest picnic the club has yet given.
The date is Sunday, July 23, and the
place is Ehrhardt 's grove, at Park
Eidge, 111. There will be a baseball
game between Wholesalers and Re-
tailers, racing, dancing, a pie-eating
contest and, as the posters say, other
"athletic" sports. It is to be a basket
picnic, but refreshments will be sold on
the grounds. Tickets are on sale in all
the wholesale houses at 50 cents each
person. This includes transportation
on the Northwestern railroad on the
trains leaving at 11 a. m. and 12:45
p. m., returning leaving Park Ridge at
8:27 p. m. and 9:28 p. ni. Hayracks
are provided from the depot to the
grove. Those who come by their own
conveyances will buy tickets at the gate
at 25 cents, each. Nothing is needed
but the crowd to malie the picnic a
success.

Various Notes.

A decided kick, delivered by Frank
Oechslin's automobile engine, when he
was cranking it recently, resulted in a
broken right arm. Mr. Oechslin hopes
to be able to remove the splints in a

couple of weeks and is meanwhile at-
tending to business as usual. He says
that the new range, when completed,
will be filled with Bostons, palms and
dracsenas. His poinsettias are espe-
cially good this season.

Announcement is made of the mar-
riage of Joseph Schreiber and Miss
Lynn Neuman. The wedding took place
in the St. Henry's church, Wednesday
evening, July 12. The groom is a
brother of Mrs. J. A. Schneider, the
carnation grower on Ridge avenue.
Mrs. Schneider acted as matron of honor
and served a wedding supper at her
home. C. M. Dickinson was the only
one present outside of the family.

Nic Miller has recovered from the
effects of his recent fall and has taken
hold with Kennicott Bros. Co. E. E.
Pieser states that the company has
made a profit-sharing arrangement
with Mr. Miller and Michael Fink,

At Niles, in the center of a florists'
colony, there is a justice of the peace

house with him, to show the commit-
tee just what articles enter into the
construction and how, under the pres-
ent classification, some of the articles
that constitute no large part of the
whole affect the classification and raise

go forward as one shipment.

Mrs. Percy Jones states that a spe-
cialist was called in last week to ad-
vise in the case of H. Van Gelder,
whose illness was diagnosed as inflam-
mation of the inner tube of the ear,
threatening spinal meningitis. His
condition then was serious, but he has

ment as hurler for the winning Nap-

John Poehlmann says that Poehl-

winter, the only difference between
January and July being that now the
orders do not run quite so large.

six in number, each 27x250 feet, all
cement construction, are almost com-
pleted and planted and will give large
additional cuts from October on. This
company has gone extensively into the
new varieties of rosea, anticipating a
heavy call for young stock next season.
Carnation plants to the number of
320,000 will be benched this year,
180,000 being already housed and grow-
ing on. The young benched rose plants
are exceptionally fine and promise large
cuts. The selling department force will
be added to as soon as cuts increase.
Stock now is moving out fast.

extract the greenhouse heat from the
cut flowers before packing, and that
seldom are cut flowers held in these
rooms over twelve hours. The average
length of time would probably be two
and a half to three hours. This is an
important factor, especially when flow-
ers are shipped direct from the green-
houses to the customer. For filling
standing ordejs this method is hard to
improve on. In consequence of the in-
crease in shipping at the greenhouses,
it was found necessary to make their
own ice, as the regular supply ran short.
They now have ice to sell.

PHTLADELPHIA.

The Bising Eastern Market.

The cut flower market has been active
during the week ending July 19. The
activity is that of the mill race, rather
than the mighty river. The supply of
^wers is unusually small, proving quite
inadequate to meet the demand. This
was especially evident Saturday, July 15,
when, with many funeral orders to fill,
the local retailers bought nearly every-
thing obtainable without satisfactorily
filling all their orders. Conditions prom-
ise to improve under the influence of
fruitful showers and cooler weather.
Asters are increasing slowly in numbers.
They bring excellent prices, some nice
Queen of the Market realizing $.3 per
hundred, a good price made possible by
th*e absence of all save a few carnations.
Gladioli are abundant; they sell well.
The small white flowers, outdoor grown,
such as candytuft, pyrethrum, achillea
and petunia, have realized surprisingly
good figures. Most of the roses are not
what can be called nice, but there are
some excellent Kaiserin, with Beauties,
Maryland and Killarney in smaller num-
bers. Easter lilies have had a great run.
The crops are light with nearly all the
growers. Valley has had an off week.
The principal forcers have had some
mean pips of the California pear kind;
they look hearty outside, but inside they
are gone. Greens are abundant. The
demand for them is light.

Various Notes.

The Robert Craig Co. has closed a con-
tract with the Lord & Burnham Co. for

Conrad Forbach brought his broth-

a reunion, after an absence of many
years. The family separated in Ger-

and all have done well. Conrad was
the only one to embark in the florists'
business, but has held up his end in
fine shape and has been successful.
The picture of the group was shown

Miss Buth Barry spent a pleasant

Charles Holser, of the William Scott

Wallace Eiss, treasurer of the Will-

take up the promoting business. Mr.
Eiss has been failing in health for some

The Market.

Stock is becoming scarcer right
along, while the condition of trade re-
mains about the same, which is to say,
not very brisk. The supply of carna-
tions is much reduced, owing to the
fact that most of the old plants have
been torn out to be replaced by the
new ones. Hoses, of all varieties, are
plentiful and while the quality is noth-
ing to brag about, at the same time
they are as good as can be expected
under the circumstances and the de-
mand is fairly good. Album and ru-
brum lilies are now to be seen on the
market, and first-class giganteum is in
good supply.

STEM-ROT OF BEANS.

I am sending you by mail a small
box containing some soil and a few
beans. Please notice the stems on the
beans; they seem to have stem-rot.
Will you please tell me what the
trouble is and how to remedy it?
Please let me know, also, what is wrong
with the soil. I grew a good crop of
beans on this soil several times, but
this year the beans have all acted like
the sample sent you. J. M. T.

The beans are affected with a kind
of stem-rot which is quite common in
some localities. I would advise you
not to grow beans on that same spot
again for at least two years. Use the
ground for some other crop next sea-
son and starve out the bean disease.

If you have had beans on the same
soil for several seasons it should be
rich in nitrogen now, but badly in need
of potash and phosphoric acid. I
would suggest that you use about 400
pounds of sulphate or muriate of pot-
ash and 800 pounds of acid phosphate
per acre early next spring. Sow it
broadcast after plowing and drag it in
well. If you plow this fall, apply the
fertilizer then and the results will be
still better. Another similar dose
might be used next year, but a heavy
manuring then would be preferable
and would put your soil in good con-
dition for beans or almost anything
else.

You might get a good crop of beans
again next season if you were to plant
them again, but it would be rather
risky after having a diseased crop
now. A good, liberal dusting of air-
slaked lime before you plow it again
would also do much good. H. G.

Temple, Tex. — The Temple Seed &
Floral Co., under the management of
.T. R. Boyd, is building a greenhouse.

Wichita Falls, Tex. — J. L. Downing,
proprietor of the Wichita Nursery, is
erecting another greenhouse, 25x100, for
carnations.

Sycamore, HI. — Carl Ulander, who for
the last four years has been employed
at William Swinbank's greenhouse»,
has left that establishment and has se-
cured a similar position at Ironwood,
Mich.

Six Pages of Retailers' Cards

This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the
facilities for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid
development of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and
so helpful 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.

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?

While our colleagues up north were
suffering for some weeks from the in-
tense heat, the florists here enjoyed the
cool breezes from the Gulf. Everything
is growing fast, on account of the real
tropical rains we have had of late, but
the landscape gardeners and growers
of outdoor stock encountered some diffi-
culties in keeping their places free of
weeds.

The crop of greenhouse roses is get-
ting short and the newly planted stock
will not be in bloom for some time.
Bench-planted outdoor roses are doing
finely and yield fair crops of good
sized, medium stemmed flowers. Hardly
any gladioli are cut now. Though the
aster crop is short with many of the
local florists, some are still cutting a
good supply. Single tuberoses are
surely a boon and the growers of these
fully appreciate their value, especially
from now on, when all kinds of flowers,
particularly long stemmed white ones,
will be getting scarce. While most of
the growers exhausted their supply of
cold storage valley, some still have
well grown stock on hand, with a
sprinkling of a few fine cattleyas.

There is nothing of importance doing

in the social world, but many florists
have lately been kept quite busy with
big funeral orders, which in many cases
demanded every available flower.

The stock of chrysanthemums here ex-
cels that of last year, in spite of the
recent heavy rains. The plants are
strong and clean and the ones grown
under glass are exceptionally fine. The
growing of this valuable fall flower by
our local florists is becoming a great
factor and the flowers produced hold
their own in comparison with those
shipped by our prominent northern
growers; this applies especially to the
best standard varieties.

themselves of the opportunity to have
a day of rest and jollification, after
months of strenuous labor. The party
took the new steamer, Louis Dolive, at
Spanish Fort, and after a two hours'
delightful ride arrived at the place of
destination. The arrangement commit-
tee had provided for a delightful re-
past at Muguier's hotel, and, favored
by the cooling breeze from the lake,
the merry crowd enjoyed it thoroughly.

During the banquet the jovial secre-
tary, C, R. Panter, acted as toastmas-
ter. Those who made addresses were
Ed. Baker, chairman of the arrange-
ment committee; Richard Eichling,
president; C. R. Panter and others.

After the dinner the majority boarded
a special car for a trolley ride through
the piny woods to Covington, a pretty
little town in the Louisiana Ozone belt,
returning in time for the departure to
the city. Those who remained at Man-
deville enjoyed themselves with a walk
through the picturesque town and along
the beautiful beach, joining the others
on their return. Throughout the trip
merriment and good fellowship pre-
vailed, and there were many expressions

praise for the outing committee, which
consisted of the following: Ed. Baker,
chairman; C. R. Panter and Charles
Eble.

U. J. Virgin donated flowers and As-
paragus plumosus and Sprengeri in
abundance for the table decorations,
which were executed in an artistic
manner by Richard Eichling, manager
of Mr. Virgin's nursery.

Various Notes.

W. J. Cleves, local representative of
A. T. Boddington, New York, was one
of the guests at the florists' outing.

Charles Eble, Jr., went on an exten-
sive trip to the west and east, stopping
at the following places: Chicago, Cleve-
land, Buff"alo, New York, Philadelphia,
Washington and Pittsburg. This is Mr.
Eble 's first trip east and he will surely
make the best of it, from a business
as well as a pleasurable standpoint.

Frank Broker, head gardener at the
City park, is determined to make it the
finest and largest in the south and
fully deserves the praise bestowed upon
him. Of the many elegant groups of
foliage plants, those planted with a
splendid collection of large crotons at-

in the horticultural line is grown at

AHBBIGAN SEED TBIDB ASSOGIlTIOBr.

Pres.. Leonard H. Vaugrhan, Chicago; First Vlce-
Pree.. M. H. Duryea, New York City; Sec'y and
Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

A. H. Wilkinson, head of the garden
seeds department of the Summers Seed
House, at Malvern, la., has planted a
tract of fifty acres with vegetables for
seed.

Theee is no special inquiry for Har-
risii. There are those who were di ap-
pointed in the call last year, and it looks
as though it might be even lighter this
season. ^J

Since the reports from all the centers
of production speak of short crops and
light .acreage, the next selling season for
onion sets is likely to be different from
last season.

Drt weather continues in all the im-
portant seed growing centers, though the
excessive heat has passed. More than a
few showers wUl be needed to put the
soil into condition.

The seedsmen in the state of New
York are making vigorous protest to Gov-
ernor Dix in the hope of securing bis veto
for the pure seed bill that recently passed
both houses of the legislature.

It is just a little early to speak with
certainty, but it looks as though there
might be a decrease in the crop of bulbs
of America gladiolus, and an increase in
the demand. That would mean a short-
age.

A. A. Bekbt, Clarinda, la., reports that
growing conditions have been unfavor-
able; crops will be materially diminished
by the extremely dry weather, although
good rains would yet help out the corn
crop.

European seed growing countries, after
two wet seasons, are this year having the
other extreme — in many districts of Eng-
land, France, Germany and Holland there
has been too little moisture since the
heavy spring rains.

BoBEBT Nicholson, who recently re-
tired from the Texas Seed & Floral Co.,
which he founded many years ago, will
do a wholesale business in field seeds un-
der his own name, at 401-3 Commerce
street, Dallas, Tex.

Eventually a large part of the radish
seed used in this country will be grown
here. It is slowly coming to be recog-
nized that American crops grown from
seed from transplanted roots are just as
good as the French crops.

Believing that a disclaimer printed
among the advertising matter on the
letter-head is of little value, and not
being prepared to print it below the
date line in advance of the general adop-
tion of the new position by the trade,
certain seedsmen have omitted the dis-
claimer entirely, so far as their letter-
heads are conceraed.

Thb price of canned goods is showing
the effect of exciessive heat and drought,
especially in the tomato and pea sections.

All hope of a good crop of peas has
been abandoned. Growers now anticipate
an even lighter harvest than last season.

Thb T. H. Cochrane Co., in the seed
business at Portage, Wis., recently in-
creased its capital stock from $48,000 to
$100,000, partly for the purpose, it is
said, of erecting a large warehouse.

Although the seasonal conditions were
such that the bulk of the sweet pea novel-
ties on the Lompoc farm of W. Atlee
Burpee & Co. were not planted until a
month later than last year, Edwin Lons-
dale said, July 10, the novelties were
then making excellent growth and a good
tarvest of seeds is hoped for.

is Marshall Humphrey, an expei'ienced

A EEPORT from Alpena July 15 speaks
of copious rains over the northern Mich-
igan region.

Wm. Behm, who recently became Amer-
icp.n traveler for L. Daehnfeldt, Odense,
Denmark, is at New York, preparing to
make a trip to the headquarters of his
house. '

Advices from the lima bean growing
section of California, received at the end
of last week, were to the effect that the
crop is progressing under the most favor-
able conditions. ,

Ik the Chillicothe, O., section the
harvesting of onion sets began last week,
but there is not much more than half a
crop, with the acreage for the district
greatly reduced as compared with last
season. The onion seed crop in- that sec-
tion still gives excellent promise.

The Texas Seed & Floral Co., of Dal-
las, has filed a complaint with the In-
terstate Commerce Commission against
the Texas & Pacific and the Santa Fe
and connecting lines, asking reparation in
the sum of $940.13 overcharge on a ship-
ment of incubators from New York to
Dallas,

A PRESS report from Amoy, China,
dated July 15, says the Pacific Mail
steamer Mongolia, sailing that day, car-
rijgd. from that port 230. tons of Amoy
narcissus bulbs for theA-merican market,
adding that this shipment is the first of
its kind. The bulbs are produced in a
small area on the West river, and the an-
nual' supply is limited. There has been
sharp competition lately among foreign
bulb dealers to get the local supply.

PEAS AT ALPENA.

Last week the daily newspapers con-
tained so many sensational dispatches
regarding fire losses in Canada and in
the northern part of Michigan that
reports became current in the trade that
the pea crops in the Alpena region had
suffered seriously by fire. Rogers Bros.,
whose headquarters are at Alpena, re-
plied by wire July 14 to an inquiry
from The Review, as follows:

"No crop losses by fire to our knowl-
edge. Peas are being shortened very
much by drought."

HOLLAND SEED CROPS.

A report from Holland indicates that
it is the opinion of one grower there
that spinach will be in surplus this
autumn, there being an excellent crop
in Groningen district and a good crop
on some 750 acres standing for seed
near Haarlem. Turnips will yield only
moderately, the crop having been
shortened by the dry weather. There
is considerable acreage of turnips for
seed this vear at Dedemsvaart. It is

CLARK'S ADDITION.

The I-:verett B. Clark Seed Co. is
making an addition to its building at
Orreen Bay, Wis. The company some
time ago bought additional land for
the pfirpose, adjoining the old property,
and now has a building site 178x410
feet, wfth the tracks of the Chicago &
Northwestern railway on one side, those
of the Green Bay & Western railway
on another and the waters of Green bay
on the third.

On the property recently acquired
the company is putting up an addition
to its warehouse that is to be ready for
occupancy by October 1. The addition
is 60x100 feet, three stories and a base-
ment, and is of brick construction. This
will materially add to the company's
capacity at Green Bay, where it handles
principally seed peas and beans. By
means of the addition the company will
not only provide additional storage
space, but will also install another Otis
freight elevator, equipment to accom-
modate ninety-five more women for
hand-picking, and also another seed
cleaner. The Everett B. Clark Co. now
has three establishments for th«r han-
dling of seed peas and beans, the one
.it Green Bay, Wis., and others at Sis-
ter Bay, "Wis., and East Jordan, Mich.

The Clark Seed Co. is adding to its
plant at the home office, Milford, Conn.,
putting up at the present time a brick
warehouse 38x62 feet, three stories and
a basement, on property recently ac-
quired near the freight depot at Mil-
ford. This will be ready in time to be
of service in handling the company's
1911 crop of seeds grown in Con-
nettii'Ut.

CYCLAMEN

For the last 16 years we have selected three-fourths of our seed
bearing Cyclamen stock before Xmas, to assure early blooming
plants, and claim the finest commercial strain in this country ; no
lizzie of many so-called English varieties. Our aim is strong
growers, that don't have to be petted to be grown into a choice
salable plant— a well built, five petaled flower (many of them at
one time), with well marked foliage; every plant an ideal, a prize-
winner. Received first and second prizes at the Toledo Florists'
Club meeting early in November, when blooming Cyclamens were
scarce. Seed of this, my own grown strain, in five separate colors,
ifl.OO per 100; $6.00 per 1000; $25.00 per 6000.

heavy shower, even at the risk of mar-
ring the pleasure of thousands of
Shriners and their friends, who were
visitors in the city.

All florists were busy in the first
part of the week, with decorations,
funerals and special flower trade, for
the Shriners are good spenders and they
used flowers everywhere. The Shriners
from Texas used 500 American Beau-
ties, tied with ribbons bearing the in-
scription, "Texas — 1911," which they
distributed among their friends. Flow-
ers in the Shriners' colors were in
great demand for hotel, home and table
decorations. Country clubs and res-
taurants purchased flowers to make
festive their places of business in
honor of the visitors. Palms and ever-
greens, bay and box trees were also
used in great profusion throughout the
city. The streets were ablaze with flags
and bunting and at night were bril-
liant with millions of electric lights.
At the ball on Thursday night, which
was the climax of the gorgeous spec-
tacle, carloads of palms and evergreens
were used, together with the bunting
and flags. Rochester had to draw on
the flower supply of Buffalo a few times
during the week, for the demand was
enormous. Then there were various
banquets and receptions, at which great
quantities of flowers of all kinds were
used. Unfortunately, the hot weather
made all cut flowers poor in quality,
but patrons had to take them as they
were. Since the weather was so hot
and flowers could not be handled with-
out ice, the street fakers gave up the
flower business and turned their atten-

It is much larger and of good substance ; the immense flowers, of 3>^ to 4 inches, are of perfect form, and every
tint and shade is produced in striking combinations and endless variations of beautiful colors and markings. It is the
result of years of selections The Stock Plants are taken from many thousands of plants grown for the market. It is
rich with shades of brown, bronze, red, mahogany and many others too numerous to mention. Light, Medium or

Roses are quite poor, because of the
hot spell, and come into the market
almost wide open. There are a few
exceptions, however. Wards are some-
what small, but are good. Tafts, too,
are fairly good, but Kichmonds are of
no use. Beauties stand the heat best
of alL roses, because of their lasting
qualities, but the color is a little faded.
Carnations are small and weak-stemmed;
yet there are a few large ones left.
Sweet peas are not especially good and
have short stems. Harrisii lilies are
plentiful and good. Gladioli are com-
ing into the market now and are good,
large stalks. Valley is good and is
high in price. There is little demand
for orchids. Garden flowers are poor,
because of the drought. Gloxinias are
coming better now and they are about
the om^ potted plants in bloom.

In the latter part of the week there
was a great scarcity of cut flowers.

FLORISTS' REVIEW

When Writing Advertisers

Selling cheap bulbs ie a
little like putting up a wet-
paint sign— many people put
their hands on the paint t«
see if it really is wet. Of
course, nine times out of te*
it is wet, and nine times out
of ten florists who buy cheap
bulbs find they are every-
thing the word cheap implies.
Now, a few good Cold Storage
Giganteum or MagnificiUR
planted now will net yom a
good profit in the fall, whem
they will flower. Giganteum,
planted August 1st, will
flower for Thanksgiving; and
September 1st, for Christ^ae
— times when you really needl
them. You must order theai
now, however, and get then
planted. Horseshoe Brand
Cold Storage bulbs are snpe-
rior, owing to their keeping
qualities and because thef
are thoroughly matured.
Prices very reasonable — upon
application. Write us.

meeting, Boston, June, 19r2.

NuBSERYMEN are not especially
alarmed at the drought — almost every
year brings its dry time, and in the end
a normal growth is made.

John L. Hewitt, formerly in the land-
scape department of Peterson Nursery,
Chicago, has gone into the landscape con-
tracting business on his own account, at
Evanston, 111.

The Durant Nursery Co., of Durant,
Okla., recently tendered an elaborate and
most enjoyable banquet to its agents and
employees and their families. J. T.
Foots, the company's general manager,
acted as toastmaster.

The report of Referee Nevin in the
long contested case of the Fourth Na-
tional Bank of Dayton, O., against the
Albaugh Nursery Co., has been approved.
The stockholders will be compelled to pay
various sums in accordance with the law.
The total indebtedness, according to the
referee's report, was $33,933.25, includ-
ing the $1,000 fee paid to Mr. Nevin.

Asking that a receiver be appointed
for the Pittsburg Nursery Co., a bill in
equity was filed in common pleas court
No. 4 July 10 by Joseph M. Jones
against his partner, EoUand H. Smith.
The plaintiff states that he and Smith
are equal partners and that the defend-
ant has had charge of the books and the
bank accounts of the business. The
plaintiff alleges that Smith refused to
give him a statement of the business when
he made a demand for an accounting.

STANDARDIZATION OF GRADES.

[A paper by E. P. Bemardln, of Parsons, Kan.,
read at the convention of the American Associa-
tion of Nurserymen In St. Louis, June 14 to 16,
1911.1

The question of uniform grades is
one that has been before this associa-
tion many times, but as yet nothing
has been done in the way of even an
expression on the subject. That some
action should be taken by this asso-
ciation along this line, there is no
question, and there is no better time
to do so than at this meeting.

The Western Association of Nur-
serymen was the pioneer in this line
and in December, 1906, adopted the
following grades:

Alt grades of trees shall be of fair shape,
brancbed, well rooted. Caliper to goyem and

Baytrees;.Boxwood/.Rhododendrons

Orders booked now for immediate or later

Both Caliper and Height.

These grades were not adopted with-
out some opposition on the part of the
peach growers, as the "sixteenth
men" were in evidence. I think you
will find, however, that these grades
have been lived up to by them closely
since that time, with the exception of
peach trees, and these have been
graded mostly to comply with the east-
ern and southern custom. Once or
twice when two-year apple were scarce
and quite high in price, they have
fudged a little and cut the first
grade a sixteenth. The eastern fel-
lows have been equally guilty in cut-
ting a sixteenth once or twice on plum
and pear, under similar conditions.

These little differences, once in a
while, cut no figure, especially when
specified in the trade lists, but the aim
of uniform grades is to get every one
to grade by both caliper and height,
so that when one sees apple "5-6 ft."

This fine Peony was our principal cut of Pink this season in time for Decoration Day. It
also is an old standby of the Paris (France) cut flower market. A very bright and showy
rose-pink. Among the first to bloom. Without a yellow stamen. The last two springs have
not developed all varieties to good advantage, but Beaute de Yillecante has had, for
many years, a good bloom on every stalk.

that if he buys from the list he will
get ' ' % and up ' ' trees, and not from
the size of a lead pencil to the size of
one's wrist, simply because they have
attained the required height. The most
of our nurserymen are now grading by
both height and caliper, and every one
must do it if he would retain the bet-
ter trade and meet competition.

With the slight difference in the sys-
tem of grading as now done by the
east, south, north and west, we should
have no trouble in agreeing upon a
uniform standard, adopting it and then
living up to it. The present system
of grading two-year apple, cherry,
pear and plum is practically the same
everywhere. The only difference is on
peach, one-year plum and apricot.
Those that grow the heavier peach can
and should be willing to cut the grade
a little, as it will give them more num-
ber one.

A Proposed System of Grading.

Now, in order to get this question
properly before this association, and to
promote its discussion and at least get

PACIFIC COAST.

Lob Angeles, Cal. — The business of
the Ingleside Floral Co. was recently
incorporated, with a capital stock of
$20,000. The directors are H. D. Eoss,
A. W. Ross and F. Edward Gray.

PASADENA, CAL.

While the National Sweet Pea So-
ciety was holding its annual exhibition
at Philadelphia, sweet pea enthusiasts
were getting busy here as well. Among
the displays at the rooms of the Board
of Trade was a large collection of sweet
peas from the Floradale Farm of W.
Atlee Burpee & Co., at Lompoc, where
Edwin Lonsdale is resident manager.
The flowers were sent in by express
and later Mr. Lonsdale received the
following acknowledgment from Mr,
liarnhart: "The sweet peas arrived in
perfect condition. I had a bevy of
pretty girls unpack them and arrange
them, in a way that only girls can.
Lonsdale! They were great, and no
mistake. The crowds of people who
visited the show took down every name
and absorbed the firm's thirty-fifth an-
niversary supplement in no time; not
nearly enough of them were sent."
Had the show been made two weeks
later, many more varieties could have
been sent, for the season was such that
planting on the Burpee farm was much
later than last year.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Cold winds and plenty of fog are
the prevalent conditions in this locality
at present, in pleasant contrast with
the situation of our eastern friends. In
addition, we have the National Asso-
ciation of Teachers here in convention,
but they have not helped trade, as far
as we are able to discover up to this
time. Everything in the flower line
is as cheap as it is possible for it to
be and the quality of stock is much
better than what we generally have at
this time. The last few weeks of cool
weather have had the effect of bringing
out the good points that are not always
in eridence in the summer time.

Funeral orders up to within the last
two weeks had been rather plentiful,
but since that time they have greatly
decreased and white flowers are no
more in demand than anything else.
Gladioli, dahlias, coreopsis, sweet peas,
^aillardias and everything else that is
seasonable are brought into town in
about ten times the quantity for which
there is any sale and the street huck-
sters get the benefit. Out-of-town ship-
ments are also moving slowly and things
in general are about as quiet as it is
possible for them to be.

seems out of the question for this part
of the country. All outdoor stock is
coming on slowly and this has a tend-
ency to keep up prices on the indoor
stock. The supply has been somewhat
in excess of the demand, though the
building of so many floats in the re-
cent carnival parades cleaned out most
of the surplus stock. The stores re-
port business good for this season, while
the growers seem well pleased with
their part of the business.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club held its regular
meeting July 6, at M. E. Hayden's
store. After the regular business, it
was decided to organize a bowling
club. Two nights each month were set
apart for the regular try-outs, with as
much preliminary practice as possible.

The California Florists put up one
of the best floats in the carnival pa-
rades. It was in the form of an im-
mense telephone for the Home Tele-
phone Co.

The float built by the Florists' Club
for the carnival was one of the best
pieces of floral art ever seen in this
part of the country. It consisted of
•ne iaiaiense cornucopia with two

smaller ones on each side, made of red
carnations with a solid background of
Enchantress carnations. More than 10,-
000 carnations, with twice as many
swoet peas, were used in this design.

PORTLAND, OBE.

The Market.

With summer conditions prevalent
on all sides, the bottom has practically
dropped out of business. Sales are only
occasional and usually of small value.

Carnations and sweet peas are the
best selling commodities. Iceland pop-
pies proved the best selling perennial
of the season and when properly dis-
played created a big demand. Aura-
tum lilies are unusually choice this sea-
son, often measuring ten inches in
diameter.

WESTEBLY, B. L

The Market.

Everything seems to be quiet just
now and funeral work is about the
only thing that helps out. Outdoor
flowers are less plentiful, owing to the
dry weather. The heat for about two
weeks was severe and most people were
glad of a chance to remain in the
shade. Carnations are getting poor and
small. Asters will soon bloom and for
the next two months will take the place
of carnations. Indeed, some good asters,
grown under glass, are on the market
now. Mum stock is looking fine in
general. Eain is needed, to help out
the stock in the fields.

Various Notes.

HYDRANGEAS

For Summer Flowering

We have an unusually fine lot of Hydrangeas, which have been held dormant all winter. These plants are now
in bud and bloom, and will flower in fine shape during July and August. We have a fine lot of blue Hydrangeas,
as well as pink. Plants are in splendid shape for immediate use, and will flower during July and August— at a time
of the year when they are in the greatest demand. We can furnish these plants in ordinary butter tubs at $2.00 and
$3,00 each. Plants m new cedar tubs, painted green, with handles, as follows : Well budded plants in 14-inch tubs,
$3,00 each; 16-inch tubs, $4,00 and $5.00 each.

We have an exceptionally fine lot of Boston Ferns of the Harrisii type ; also a
splendid lot of Pieraon Ferns, good, bushy, well-grown plants, in 8-inch
pots, that will please the most critical buyer, $1.00 each.

FERNS
LILIUN HARRISII

(The Bermuda Easter Lily)

We offer a selected and carefuUy grown stock of the original pure Harrisii, There are only one or two lots of
bulbs on the island as good as the stock that we offer. We take pleasure in offering this stock, because it will be
found to be very superior to the average stock that is generally offered. This is one of the healthiest and cleanest lots,
and will give much better satisfaction than the stock usually obtainable. Our customers who had Harrisii from us
last year stated it was the best they had received in years. We have only a limited stock, which we are offering, and
when stock is exhausted we shall have no more to offer this season. Fine selected bulbs, 6/7-inch, 350 to the case,
$16.00 per case, or full 1000 lotsat $46.00 per 1000; 7/9-inch, 200 to the case, $17.00 per case, or full 1000 lots at $80.00

RHINEBECK, N. Y.

Alvin Coon, one of the pioneer vio-
let growers of Rhinebeek, died last
week of typhoid fever. He was 48
years old. The members of the Vio-
let Growers' Mutual Association sent
a beautiful floral tribute.

Most of the violet growers here have
their plants bedded, but with some,
prospects are not particularly promis-
ing, on account of a recurrence of the
root-rot which was prevalent last sea-
son, and there are no more young
plants obtainable.

Walter Ripley has sold his green-
house and other property to C. A. Kil-
mer, and has entered the insurance
business.

G. C. Rogers, formerly with George
Saltford, is now superintendent of F.
R. Snyder's violet establishment.

,T. Vender Linden has had a fine
<;rop of early tomatoes and other vege-
tables in one of his houses. F. R. S.

Articles of association have been filed
by the H. A. Fisher Co., of this city,
with County Clerk E. F. Curtenius for
record. The object of the company is
to conduct a general florists' business,
the capitalization being $6,500, divided
into 650 shares of $10 each. Of these
Harry A. Fisher holds 450, Herman
Fisher 100, and George Fisher 100. The
new company will continue the busi-
ness of H. A. Fisher & Co., West South
street, moving shortly to a new store
in the New Burdick hotel, which will
be one of the finest establishments in
the state. No expense is being consid-
ered too great and the white enamel and
Italian marble interior will be quite
unique here. The contract for the work
has been allowed to the Burleigh Wood-
working Co., of this city.

HAIL AT ELKHAET, IND.

It is reported that about seventy-
five per cent of the greenhouse glass
,it Elkhart, Ind., was broken by a hail
storm on the afternoon of July 11. The
damage to outdoor crops, though ser-
ious, was more than counterbalanced
by the good effects of the copious rain-
fall that accompanied the hail.

Fred P. Livengood, proprietor of
greenhouses on South Main street, is
said to have lost about eighty per cent
of his glass. Mr. liivongood also suf-
fered a shock from a bolt of lightning;
he was paralyzed for a few moments,
but was not permanently injured.

William Currier, on La Salle avenue,
reports that fully 1,000 panes of glass
were destroj'ed at his greenhouses.

Hugh Hills, 930 Prairie street, re-
ports a loss of 500 panes.

Mrs. E. M. Bullock. 803 West Frank-
lin street, states that a great propor-
tion of the glass in her greenhouse was
broken, but the full amount of damage
had not been estimated.

Frank J. Bevan, ()01 Baldwin street,
reports between 200 and 300 panes of
glass broken at his place.

The B. E. Sassman greenhouse, on
Adamsville road, also suffered consid-
erable damage from the breaking of
glass.

W. H. Troyer. on West Indiana ave-
nue, lost about 500 lights and the hail
did considerable damage also to his out-
door plants.

McPherson, Kan. — Chas A. Simonson
is erecting another greenhouse, 32x8(»,
which will be use.l mostly for growing
lettuce, as there has recently been a
strong demand for that vegetable. When
this new house is completed, the range
will contain a total of lo.OfXt square
feet of glass.

cess; prizes are offered for all the
events; there will be plenty of music
and a colored quartet. Come and bring
your friends; other friends of yours
will be there. The tickets are $2 each.

quantity next season, and feel confident that we shall be in a position to fill

Greenhouse Heating.

Subscribers are invited to write the
editor of the Heating Department, de-
scribing their troubles or asking any
questions regarding the heating of green-
houses, the piping or boiler-room. But
please do not ask us to make a choice of
apparatus for you. Each boiler adver-
tised in The Review is a good boiler, and
the advertisers sell them on their merits.

PROPOSED FLOW IS TOO SMALL.

I have two houses, of the following
dimensi«ns: House No. 1 is 8x45 and
house No. 2 is 21x.S3. No. 1 has 4-foot
sides, two feet of which are glass.
The boiler-house stands at the end of
No. 2, and No. 2 is joined to No. 1
by a gutter. No. 2 is boarded up to
the eaves, a height of four feet. One
end is glass from the eaves up to the
gable. I have a Wilks heater, 24x42.
Under the benches of No. 1 are five 1^4-
inch pipes. House No. 2 has two cen-
ter and two side benches. Now, will
five li^>-inch pipes under the side
benches, with one 2-inch riser, be suf-
ficient to heat House No. 2 to 4.5 de-
grees here, in Michigan? The boiler
is only tapped for two 2-inch flows, but
for three returns. I shall use two 2-
inch returns in house No. 2 and have
manifolds tapped for six IMj-inch flows,
and can add one more if necessary.
The boiler is three feet below the
ground. J. J. U.

The plan proposed for heating the
house, 21x33, is a good one. The
amount of radiation, however, is about
the limit for a 2-inch flow. Even if
one 2-inch tapping is all that is avail-
able, it will be advisable to use a 2Vi-
inch flow pipe, which can be reduced
and connected with the boiler. The

214-inch pipe can be used as the main
flow pipe, by carrying it under the
ridge, or it may be broken up into two
2-inch flows, each of which can be car-
ried on one of the plates. Two 2-

the needed radiation. If it is desired
to have all of the returns of the same
size, use six 2-inch or nine li/jinch
returns, in addition to the two 2-inch

SIZE OF CHIMNEY.

We wish to build a square brick

size it must be. We have two boilers,
one having a 10-inch flue and the other
a 12-inch flue. What width must the
chimney be to give a good draft' for

If no other houses are to be added,
a brick chimney sixteen inches square,

the two boilers now in use. By add-

increased to take care of another boiler

will be connected with the house and

necessary, the same as the house. Lo-

The question does not state whether
steam or hot water is to be used;
neither does it give any idea of the
arrangement of the houses. It will
make considerable difference whether
solid beds or raised benches are to be
used.

For steam it will be well to use in
each house one 2-inch main about three
feet under the ridge, and a l^/i-inch
main on the side walls of each house,
near the plate. About twenty-one
114-inch returns will be needed in the
coils. Of these, four or five can be on
each of the side walls and the others
under the benches; or, if solid beds are
used, all of the returns can be on the
walls, those connected with the 2-inch
main running either way along the end
of the house and back to the boiler on
the side walls, under the regular side
coils.

If hot water is used, put in six 2%-

To heat the two houses, 32x150 feet,
:uid tlie hotbed, 6x150, there will be
iibout 2,600 square feet of steam ra-
diating surface, and for this a forty
horse-power boiler will be required.
With hot water, fully 5,000 square feet
of radiation will be necessary and a
hot water boiler rated at not less than
6,000 square feet will be needed.

FROM CLOSED TO OPEN SYSTEM.

I have three greenhouses, heated by
a Hitchings boiler. No. 18, old style.
The boiler is connected with the piping
in the houses by a 3-inch main. The
boiler is at one end of houses No. 1 and
2, and the highest point in the piping
is at the opposite end of house No. 3;
in other words, the highest point is at
that part of the system farthest from
the boiler. I want to change the sys-
tem from closed presaure to open pres-
sure. Can this be done by merely in-
stalling open tanks over the highest
point? If not, what must be done!
There are air valves at the farther end
of the pipes.

House No. 1 is 14x100 and the roof
has a pitch of seven feet; 2-inch pipe
is used in this house. Houses No. 2
and 3 are each 8x100, with a pitch of
six feet; each of these houses contains
eight runs of 1-inch pipe.

I wish to connect with the same sys-
tem a small round boiler. In moderate
weather, in this mild Virginia climate,
the small boiler "alone would answer,
and in severe weather it would help.
How shall I make the connections?

except that a larger share of the work

HOUSES FOE GENERAL STOCK.

I am planning to build two houses,
each 20i/{.x50 feet, and six feet to the
gutters, with three feet of glass in the
side walls and in one end. I wish to
grow carnations, roses and a general
line of plants; with lettuce and rad-
ishes. Can I successfully do it in the
two houses mentioned? How many
runs of 2-inch hot water pipe will be
required to heat them properly in the
latitude of St. Paul, Minn.? Any sug-
gestion you may offer will be greatly
appreciated. W. C. M.

If the houses are connected, so that
but one wall of each is exposed, a tem-
perature for roses can be maintained
by using three 2i^-inch flow pipes and
twelve 2-inch returns. For carnations
use the same number of flow pipes and
nine returns. In case the houses have
both walls exposed, put in two addi-
tional returns in each house. One of
the flows can be carried on each plate
and the other about two to three feet
below the ridge, and the returns can
be distributed in coils underneath.

JULT 20, 1911.

SOUTHINOTON, CONN,

Tlie Market.

The hot wave has returned and, if
rain is longer delayed, the market gar-
deners and growers of outdoor flowers
will lose heavily. Asters and gladioli
are coming in plentifully. Carnations
are a thing of the past. The asters
are fairly good, but not of the grade
that commands a good price. Sweet
peas are fine, as a rule, though some
of the stems are shortened by the
drought. Lily of the valley is seen
now only in small lots. There is a good
supply of gypsophilas, cornflowers, cos-
mos and other outdoor stock.

Various Notes.

William Fischer, of Milldale, owner
of the Buckland Greenhouses, is erect-
ing two large houses at his plant. He
purchased this property from Olson &
Lunden about two years ago and has
certainly built the place up since buy-
ing-

Olson & Lunden are cutting some fine
asters and have most excellent promise
from the beds for the future. They
report that the last half year was one
of the busiest seasons in their experi-

6I1C6

otto Glueck, of Marion, reports busi-
ness for the last month as first-class.

B.

MERIDEN, CONN.

The Market.

This city has had its share of hot
weather. The thermometer registered
as high as 103 degrees early in July.
The heat has been telling on the flowers
and vegetables. A few of the stores
report some large funeral orders. In-
deed, funeral work kept the florists
busy for a week or two, as the heat
caused a great many deaths, but other
business is of little account. Stock
is plentiful, such as it is. All outdoor
stock is suffering from want of rain.
There are some summer roses that are
quite good and they sell readily. Gla-
dioli are overabundant; America is the
most popular variety.

Various Notes.

John Bonell, the Converse avenue flo-
rist, has the sincere sympathy of a wide
circle of friends in the loss of his little
daughter, whose death occurred June
26, after a short illness. The inter-
ment took place in Walnut Grove.
There were many beautiful floral trib-
utes.

The Blatchley Co. had a pretty win-
dow display last week, of fancy ferns.

B.

Beverly, N. J.— Nathan E. Evans, a
florist of South Beverly, was seized with
cramps and drowned while bathing in
the Rancocas creek, below Bridgeboro,
July 9. He was 26 years old. He
leaves a wife and a year-old baby.

The woven jacket construction makes a stronger

absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening
at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on
cotton duck. ■ This construction also gives a more
flexible hose and reduces the possibility of kinking. I

BALTIMOBE.

The Market.

Everything is moving along slowly
and quietly in the regular summer rut.
There are few good flowers coming in
and the demand can hardly be noticed.
The weather conditions have been
against outdoor sweet peas and roses
and the quality of those coming in is
poor, while the excessive heat has
played havoc with inside stock.

A few good carnations are to be seen
and also a few roses, of which the
Kaiserins head the list. Brides and
Maids are so poor as to be scarcely
available even for funeral work.

Gladioli are coming in large quanti-
ties and move fairly well. Greens are
plentiful, also wild ferns, which are to
be had at any price.

The S. A. F. Convention.

Four weeks more and the time for
the gathering of the hosts will have
arrived. The S. A. F. convention is
approaching rapidly and the local com-
mittee will not have many more meet-
ings before the fruits of their labor will
be harvested. Everything appears to
be in the best possible shape.

The one thing of most importance
is to impress upon everyone how anx-
ious we are to have them with us.
Preparations are being made to give
you as great a time as you ever had at
a convention.

The trade exhibits will be exception-
ally fine and this alone will pay any
progressive florist for what little time
and money it costs him to attend the
convention. Any florist who does not
pick up enough ideas from what he
sees there, to more than repay him,
surely needs to visit an oculist. So
come one and all, and we will do our
best to make you more than welcome.

WASHINGTON, D. C.

Plans are being perfected by the
Washington Florists' Club to entertain
the members of the Society of Amer-
ican Florists when that organization
holds its annual convention in Balti-
more the third week in August. Nearly
a {thousand of the visitors, who come
from all sections of the country, will
come to the Capital City one day dur-
ing the week as the guests of the local
club. An elaborate social program will
be arranged, with a trip down the river
and automobile rides to the various
places of interest. As yet the program
is only tentative and will be until the
club officials have had an opportunity
to hold a meeting to decide on the best
means of entertainment.

The excursion of the Washington
Florists ' Club to Huntsville July 12 was
voted a huge success by the 200 guests
who went down to the grounds. Every-
body had the best time possible, with
plenty of eatables and games of all sorts
and descriptions. The only accident
that occurred during the entire day was
when William F. Gude's electric run-
about ran out of power several miles
from the festivities.

Everybody from 12-year-olds up to
the graybeards had a hand in the ath-
letic events. Mrs. George C. Schaffer
won first prize for pitching the ball into
the basket, open to married women.
Mrs. Holts won second prize. The same
event, open to single women, was won
by Miss Florence Guttman, £rst prize,
and Miss Mary Kimmell, second prize.
The guessing contest, in which the
guessers tried to tell the number of
American Beauty roses contained in a
large box, will be open for the next
meeting of the Ladies' Club of the or-
ganization the first week in August. No
one guessed within several dozen of the
correct number, so the prize was not
awarded. The same fate was meted out
to the tape-measure guessing event.
The retail florists went down to defeat
in the baseball game.

SUGGESTIONS

Frimiilas.

The intense beat of the first half of
July has been trying for primulas,
which, like many other winter-flower-
ing plants, love cool weather and only
start to grow in earnest with the ar-
rival of cold nighte. "When the ther-
mometer registers 90 degrees, or even
100 degrees in the shade day after day,
many of the pot plants suffer severely,
unless closely watched. Watering must
be done once, twice or perhaps thrice
a day, unless the pots are plunged, as
they seldom are. Of course, it means
some extra work to plunge such plants
as cyclamens and primulas in ashes,
but when the saving in watering is con-
sidered, and the fact that the roots are
so much cooler and moister than when
not plunged and grow so much better,
what we apparently lose in one way is
fully repaid in the other. Let any
grower who is handling this class of
plants try one batch plunged and the
balance unplunged, and note the dif-
ference.

Primulas can not be successfully
grown in greenhouses in summer. They
will become drawn and emaciated look-
ing. Coldframes are the places for
them and the sashes should be removed
after four in the afternoon; in fact,
they are not needed at all, except dur-
ing heavy rains, so long as lath shad-
ings are used. The night dews greatly
benefit the plants, and during hot days
they should be sprayed over several
times. Pick off any flowers which ap-
pear and do not allow the plants to
become potbound. In potting the Chi-
nese section, set the plants just low
enough so that they will stand firmly
in the pots. Those left too high will
be wobbly and will need staking, and
will never make as good plants as those
set a little deeper in their receptacles.

Bouvardias.

The bouvardia plants in the field will
now be making good growth. Flowers
are not wanted on them at this season
and the shoots should be kept pinched
back whenever they run away and show
an inclination to flower. Any plants
which may have been carried over the
second season — and, by the way, that
splendid white, sweet-scented sort,
Humboldtii, makes bigger and more sat-
isfactory plants if kept over and cut
back quite hard before planting out —
will be growing strongly, and as break-
ages are possible during heavy rain and
wind storms, it will pay to use a stake
in the center of each plant and loop
them up a little. In August and Sep-
tember choice white flowers are not
plentiful and it will pay the average
country florist to let some of his plants
flower. Keep the ground well cultivated
about them, and where a really fine lot
of summer cutting is wanted it is al-
ways a good plan to plant some of the
old stock of Humboldtii in coldframes,
where they can be watered.

Oenistas.

About once a fortnight the genistas
.should be looked over and sheared to
keep them shapely. Avoid too much
formality in genistas. These plants lend
themselves quite readily to formal treat-
ment and various fantastical designs
are annually to be seen. These freaks
are not, however, what the best buyers
want. Nice, bushy plants, loose rather
than stiff and hedgelike, are the most
pleasing. Like all other winter-flower-
ing plants grown in the open, genistas
should be plunged and they enjoy a
hosing overhead at midday, as well as
in the evening. Keep young plants
potted on and pinched at least once a
week, to give them a good form. The
fullest sunshine is best for them at all
times. Genistas can be planted out and
will make a great growth with unlim-
ited root-run. They lift poorly, how-
ever, and the only safe plan is to keep
them in pots all the time.

Allamandas.

Both bush plants and climbers are
now blooming profusely, and what beau-
tiful hot weather subjects they are!
There are few visitors who can refrain
from exclamations of delight when on
a hot summer's day they walk along
a greenhouse path, while overhead Alla-
manda Hendersoni, or one of the other

large-flowered varieties, covers the roof
with a wealth of its charming, soft
yellow flowers. A bunch of allamandas,
cut with some foliage, makes a beau-
tiful table centerpiece. Where the
tables are of considerable size, pots of
A. Williamsi rising from a bed of
Adiantum cuneatum or Farleyense make
one of the softest and most satisfying
of decorations. Allamandas are gross
feeders and, while flowering, will relish
quite strong doses of liquid manure
twice a week. They should never be
allowed to get the least dry, or the
flowers will at once become soft. AVhere
new stock is wanted, the>re is still time
to root cuttings, which are best if
rubbed off with a heel.

Stephanotis.

The old-time favorite, Stephanotis
floribunda, is not so popular in America
as in Europe, where it is a common
market flower. While it can not be
cut with more than a short stem, the
sweet-scented, pure white flowers are
of great value in bouquet or design
work of any kind, and at the time the
stephanotis naturally flowers choice
white flowers are not at all plentiful.
It may not pay many growers to have
this on their greenhouse roofs, but
there are not a few who have a good
summer trade at mountains, lakes or
seashore, to whom a well flowered
stephanotis will be both useful and
profitable. There are no great secrets
about stephanotis culture. It does not
like too much root run, but enjoys lib-
eral top-dressings and abundant water
supplies while growing and flowering.
It will succeed well in an ordinary
greenhouse and does not need a hot,
stuffy house. Mealy bug loves it dearly,
but if a good pressure of water, prop-
erly directed, is used on it daily, there
is no trouble about keeping the plants
clean.

A CONGBESS OF DAISIES.

In a Florist's Window.

Given: The average wedding stock
collection of flowers and the dull sea-
son. Ye store man is glad to put in
some strokes which shall count for an
advance in public taste and an improve-
ment of his standing in the commu-
nity, scarcely hoping that it may stim-
ulate any early advance in trade. But
he has resolved to make solitary con-
finement count for something, and so,
with both eyes open, he wonders why
he has never before noticed such a
large number of flowers of the daisy
type in such delightfully harmonious
colors. Among them are marguerites,
yellow and white; Shasta daisies, gail-
lardias, coreopsis; single dahlias run-
ning into browns, yellows and dull reds.
Catching another vision, he sees a
scheme which may include cosmos,
white and pink; heliotrope dahlias,
wild asters and red clover.

The Design Plan of the Daisy.

He gathers the first lot together and
adds to the collection two or three
kinds of fancy grasses, some few ferns,
a generous bunch of mignonette, and —
if they are yet in bloom — some hop
branches. He has not made up this
collection in a haphazard way, how-
ever. He has distinctly in mind what
plan of arrangement will best display
this style of flower and foliage. He
has studied the design plan of the daisy
and has seen that the radiate form,
with the proper color, throws light in
every direction to a greater extent in
proportion to its size than most other
floral forms. Therefore, commercially
speaking, it is a showy flower.

A Sloping Field of Daisies.

In the front corner of his show win-
dow he places a number of small vases
or jars filled with gaillardias, and hides
the vessels with moss or potted ferns.
This cozy group is supposed to repre-

sent a clump of the blooming plants.
Overhanging the back of this gproup
is a tree branch or a manufactured
substitute, supporting a hop vine, and
this, with the help of a good sized fern
or two on the floor, partly cuts off the
view, leaving a vista-like opening
through which the onlooker can see a
knoll, covered on the near slope with
Shasta daisies gradually running into
a field of coreopsis. Extending in an-
other direction from the gaillardia cor-
ner, one may see marguerites, with yel-
low and cream dahlias, appearing on
the off side in company with the
mignonette and some scattered grasses.
The effect of the whole is that of a
field of daisies of various colors, with
its up and down slopes all covered with

long. In it there are 5,503 electric
lamps. Mr. Schulz has a space 15x25
to call attention to "the florist across
the street." The sign flashes auto-
matically; the rose in the center of the
Schulz space flashes out as if con-
jured by a magician. First the foliage
appears, then a bud and then a full-
blown Beauty, the lettering appearing
last. The sign was installed and is
operated by the Federal Sign System,
in which C. L. Washburn, of Bassett &
Washburn, Chicago, is one of the inter-
ested parties.

the supposedly growing plants, broken
here and there by the ferns and
grasses. All the stems of the flowers
used should be in narrow jars or vases,
set close together and covered with
moss or otherwise hidden.

To Blend and Separate.

The purpose of placing the coreopsis
in the rear, separated from the gail-
lardias by the white and yellow of the
Shasta daisies, is twofold — to blend
and separate the strong yellow and the
strong red, and to light the rear. In
the same way the dahlias are separated
and blended. A wide range of color is
thus employed, yet correct color dis-
play is gained.

.\ second color scheme, using the
same plan of arrangement, may be used
with pink and white cosmos, heliotrope
dahlias, wild asters and red clover,
with additional foliage in the shape of
ampelopsis with berries, and, if ob-
tainable, some branches of blackberry
in fruit. Cactus dahlias and clover are
but modified forms of the common daisy
type, the petals being quilled and multi-
plied. The dahlias and cosmos should
occupy prominent places, standing in
heavy clumps, while the wild asters and
red clover nestle under their shadows
in the less important places.

The locality and the advancement of
the season will suggest their own ac-
cessory flowers and foliage for the
proper developineut of this and similar-
schemes. G. B.

ELECTRIC ADVERTISING.

The big electric sign opposite the
flower store of Jacob Schulz, in Louis-
ville, Ky., is attracting attention, not
only in that town but elsewhere. The
sign is sixty feet high and 100 feet

ger coach made by Peter FretMiian, 206
Cedar street, Aurora, 111. The photo-
graph was supplied by the E. F. Winter-
son Co., who furnished the special wire
frame on which the design was made.
Mr. Freeman used white carnations and
sweet peas for the body of the piece,
with red roses for the lamps. The piece
gave excellent satisfaction to the cus-
tomer, who would accept no convon-
tional ]iicce.

BERTERMANN'S DECORATION.

When the President of the United
States is to be a guest at a banquet
it calls for something elaborate in the
'way of a decoration. When Mr. Taft
was at Indianapolis recently a banquet
was given in his honor at the Columbia
Club, in a room with which a great
many florists are familiar, for it has

been the scene of several banquets to
trade visitors. The accompanying illus-
tration shows the decoration of Berter-
mann Bros. Co., also the President seat-
ed at the head of the table, surrounded
by Hoosier notables. The table center
was made eight inches lower than the
table proper, and was filled with adian-
tum, begonias, dracsenas and other foli-
age plants. Large vases of American
Beauties, with basket vases of the same
flowers, were placed along the edge of
the foliage center. An electric foun-
tain in colors proved to be an excellent
center for the green and variegaied
background. Boutonnieres of valley
and small flag bows were used as indi-
vidual favors.

BHiLING CHARGE CUSTOMERS.

Will you please tell, through The Re-
view, the best method of invoicing
flowers and plants to retail customars,
enclosing bill with the purchase or
sending total itemized bill at end of
month, or is there still a better way?
It will be interesting to us to know how
others do. A. L. M.

There is no general custom in the mat-
ter of billing charge customers. Sev-
eral methods are in use, with no agree-
ment as to which is the best way —
it depends on the class of trade han-
dled. The practice of probably the
largest number of high-class retail
stores is to render a monthly bill.
Hardly any florists send bill with pur-
chase. The trouble with the latter
method is that flowers in a large pro-
portion of cases are not delivered to
the person to whom they are charged.
Where it is practicable, undoubtedly
the best method is the one employed
by the department stores, which send
bill with purchase when delivery is
made to the purchaser, but mail the
bill to the customer where delivery is
made to someone else, sending state-
ment at the end of the month. Such a
practice puts just one more detail on
the clerks and increases the chance for
mistake, while many florists catering
to wealthy trade feel that their patrons
would not like the obtrusion of a sales
ticket with every purchase of flowers,
though there is no exception to it in
the case of dry goods. Mailing a bill
for each purchase is open to the same
objection in the case of so-called high-
class trade, but does not seem to be ob-
jectionable in the case of such charge
work as bedding out. special decora-
tions and other orders from those not
almost daily patrons. H. O.

EUROPEAN NOTES.

English National Rose Show.

The thirty-fifth annual summer show
of the Natioual Rose Society was held
in the Koyal Botanic Gardens, London,
July 7. The exceptionally fine season
brought out u great display, but the
show, coming in the midst of a heat
wave, gave rosarians much trouble over
the carrying and staging of their
blooms. To their credit, they sur
inovinted the difficulties and, the staging
completed, the show was voted one of
the best on record.

Hugh Dickson, of Belfast, was the
hero of the day. He carried oflf the
championship trophy for the best seven-
ty-two blooms of distinct varieties, sil-
ver medal for the best hybrid tea, with
Mrs. Stewart Clarlt. and silver medal
for the best hybrid perpetual, with
Bossie Brown.

Novelties.

Here, again, Hugh Dickson was in the
first rank and was awarded gold "medals
for each of the following hybrid teas:
Mrs. Sam Ross, a beautiful ivory pink;
Mrs. R. Draper, a fine, full flower of a
pretty shade of pink, and George V,
deep purple crimson. He also received
a silver gilt medal for Souvenir of Port-
land, Ore., a sweet-scented carmine-red
hybrid tea, and a card of commenda-
tion for Coronation, a blush hybrid per-
petual. Samuel McGredy & Son, Port
adown, Ireland, came next on the list,
ro^'eiving a card of commendation for
each of the following three hybrid teas:
•Mrs. Muir Mackean, of fine form, bright
cherry red; Nancy Williams, pale pink,
and British Queen, a pure white flower
of good form.

A grand yellow hybrid tea, raised by

Peruet-Ducher and exhibited by Beck-
with & Co., named Sunburst, attracted
a considerable amount of attention, but
in the judges' opinion did not get be-
yond the card of commendation stage,
and a similar award was given to a
pretty single blush Wichuraiana, named
Ethel, from Charles Turner, Slough.
DansB, a perpetual yellow rambler, from
Rev. W. E. Pemberton, an amateur ro-
sarian, received a silver gilt medal.

Competitive Classes.

For a group of roses, 250 square feet,
tiie first prize was awarded to Paul &
Son, Cheshunt, witii a grand, representa
tive collection, rich in color and ar-
rangement; second. Hobbies, Ltd., Dere
ham. For a smaller group, 100 square
feet, the ])remier position was voted to
W. & J. Brown, Stamford and Peter-
borough, with a lovely combination of
considerable merit,

A few of the leading classes and the
first prize winners are: Forty distinct
varieties, three blooms of each, B. K.
Cant & Son, Colchester; forty-eight
blooms. G. Prince, Oxford; nine bas
kets of cut blooms, W. Easlea, East-
wood; five baskets of cut blooms, Hugh
Dickson; thirty-six vases, G. Mattock,
Oxford; eighteen vases, W. Spooner &
Sons; twelve varieties of Wichuraiana,
Frank Cant & Co., Colchester.

The Lyon Rose.

The Lyon rose was the dominant rose
of the show. Its unique coloring was
in evidence in every class where it was
permissible to include it. It shone in
masses in the collections, usually as the
centerpiece, from which other varie-
ties radiated. In the table decorations
it triumphed in con.iunction with Irish
Elegance, a single bloom of the same

hue, a charming combination of grace
and elegance.

In addition to the varieties already
named, others which stood out promi-.
nently and pleasingly were Ballamey,.
Harry Kirk, Catherine Mermet, Mar-
quis de Sinety, Avoca, Melanie Soupert,
J. B. Clark, Dean Hole, Hugo Roller,
G. C. Wand, General MacArthur, Lady
Hillingdon, Joseph Hill, Mrs. E. G. Hill,
W. R. Smith and Paul 's sensational in-
troduction, Juliet. Bee.

GLADIOLI FOR WINTER.

Will you tell me how and when to
plant gladioli for winter flowering? I
planted some in my benches last fall
and thev failed to bloom. I. G. M.

The reason your gladioli did not
flower was probably because the bulbs,
after being dug and cleaned off, did
not receive a sufficient rest before being
restarted into growth. Experience has
shown that it does not pay to start the
large-bulbed gladioli as soon as they are
received. Do not plant in the benches
before January 1 and you will have few
failures. This applies to such varieties
as America, Shakespeare, Augusta, May,
Mrs. F. King and Brenchleyensis.

The smaller bulbed gladioli, of the
Colvillei and nanus types, are usually
received by October 1 and can be
benched or boxed right away. These
flower earlier than the Gandavensis or
large-flowered section. It is hardly cor-
rect to speak of gladioli for winter
flowering. None of the varieties named
flower before the last of March, even
under the most favorable conditions.
At the late Boston national show not a
solitary gladiolus spike was forthcom-
ing, though many prizes were offered for
them. C. W.

to call attention to "the florist across

matically; the rose in the center of the
Schulz space flashes out as if con-
jured by a magician. First the foliage
appears, then a bud ami then a full-
blown Beauty, the littering appearing
last. The sign was installed and is
operated by the Federal Sign System,
in which C. L. Washburn, of Bassett i^
Washburn, Chicago, is one of the inter-
ested parties.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Jdm 27, 1911.

BUBBANKITIS.

The horticultural world is threatened
with another epidemic of Burbankitis,
the "wizard" of Santa Rosa having
published a pamphlet charging that ex-
perts in the United States Department
of Agriculture, "through ignorance or
worse," are sending out tons of "just
as good as Burbank" spineless cactus,
which in reality is ' ' ancient trash,
such as the builders of the pyramids in
Egypt might have cultivated." Bur-
bank fires a whole broadside of sarcasm
and scorn at the government experts
and speaks of his own achievemeats as
* * the most valuable improvements in
vegetable life during the centuries,
fully equal in importance to the dis-
covery of a new continent. ' ' Experts
in the government service at Washing-
ton are called "low-browed, narrow-
gauged, and pinheaded employees, who
have to keep shouting to hold their
places, and who are largely responsible
for the trash free seed and the trash
so-called spineless cactus distribution."

Now, everybody shoot back, and let
the battle go to the one whose vocab-
ulary contains the greatest reserve of
the adjectives of vituperatioH.

HYDRANGEA ARBOBESCENS.

How well Hydrangea arborescens alba
grandiflora succeeds in Canada is shown
by the accompanying illustration, sent
from Windsor by Stephen Lusted, who
writes: "This clump of native hy-
drangeas, planted three years ago, has
attracted some attention here because
of the abundance and purity of the

that possibly you might deem the pic-

unskillful treatment. Because of rose
bushes standing in the way, the camera

NOTES ON HARDY PERENNIALS.

Hemerocallls or Day Lilies.

The hemerocallis or day lilies at pres-
ent fill an important place in the herba-
ceous garden. The common H. fulva,
were it more difficult of culture, would
be more appreciated. The flowers are
tawny yellow in color, with darker shad-
ings which deepen toward the center.
The spikes attain a height of four to
five feet and the flowers are produced
all through the month of July. This
hemerocallis makes a fine subject for
the wild garden and will even thrive on
dry, gravelly banks. In Massachusetts
it is commonly seen along roadsides and
in fields, where it has escaped from cul-
tivation. There is a double form, H.
fulva fl. pi., but the single is the best.

H. Thunbergii was at its best in the
middle of July, but will persist for some
weeks longer. It grows four feet or
more in height and its spikes of lemon-
yellow flowers are splendid for cutting.
This is probably the best yellow per-
ennial we have in the month of July.
H. aurantiaca and H. aurantiaca major
carry large flowers of a neutral orange
color. The last named is a weaker
grower than the former and is not
hardy, requiring the protection of a
coldframe over winter in New England.
The flowers of aurantiaca major are,
when well grown, six inches across and

the rich Indian yellow color is a taking
one.

One good hybrid that is still flowering
at the date of writing this, July 20, is
H. riorham. It is a strong grower,
with golden yellow flowers and orange-
coldred markings. One good feature
about the hemerocallis as border plants
is the fact that they hold their foliage
green until the end of the season, and
do not cause unsightly gaps by dying
down.

C. Betscher, of Canal Dover, O., has
been hybridizing these hemerocallis for
some years, using such varieties as
flava, Dumortierii, Apricot, aureola,
luteola, aurantiaca, aurantiaca major,
Florham, fulva and Thunbergii in his
work. He has evolved a wonderful
lot of new things, some carrying flow-
ers seven to eight inches across and
flowering from the middle of May on-
ward, in colors varying from pale whit-
ish lemon to rich golden orange. Hem-
erocallis can be grown by everyone
and will not die out as do lilies. There
is a wonderful future for them in Amer-
ican gardens, as they withstand heat
and drought better, probably, than any
other perennials.

Butterfly Weed and Plume Poppy.

Ascl^ias tuberosa is now in flower.
Its umbels of bright orange flowers are
produced in profusion during July and
August, and it is oiie of our most satis-
factory native perennials. It is easily
propagated from seed.

Bocconia cordata, the plume poppy,
is one of the most robust of perennials,
suitable for dotting along the backs of
herbaceous borders or scattering through
shrubberies, also looking well in bold
clumps on the lawn. It spreads rap-
idly, like the helianthus family, and
must be kept in place. The plant, un-
der good culture, grows eight to ten
feet high and the flowers are produced
in large panicles, which are creamy
white in color.

The Chilean Lily.

Alstroemeria auranti&ca, commonly
known as the Chilean lily, is one of the
flnest midsummer flowers for cutting.
The flowers are golden yellow to orange
in color, spotted crimson, and grow two
to three feet in height. This plant suc^
ceeds best on a gentle slope, in light,
well-drained ground. On low lands,
where water stands, it will winter-kill.

It is readily propagated by division of
the root in spring, or from seed, which
should be sown as soon as ripe.

Everlasting Peas.

The everlasting peas are fine sub-
jects for covering fences, arbors or trel-
lises and are now, in the third week of
July, blooming freely, Lathyrus lati-
folius, the type, is well known. Its
flowers are rosy carmine. Pink Beauty
is rich rose and latifolius albus is pure
white. What a splendid subject the
latter is for the florist 1 As the spikes
carry five to eight flowers each, occa-
sionally more, and have greater sub-
stance than sweet peas, they would seem
to have commercial possibilities. Some
day we may get a race with scented
flowers and in that case every grower
will want a hedge of them, as they
bloom freely for a couple of months.

Lobelias.

Lobelia cardinalis, the cardinal flower,
is always associated with moist • and
swampy locations and certainly it is a
beautiful object on the borders of
streams and ponds, but it is not gen-
erally known how well it does in the
ordinary herbaceous garden. The flow-
ers this season were opening July 12,
which is a little earlier than usual, and
clumps of them make a brilliant touch
of color in the garden. No plant is
more easily propagated from Seed. If
collected and sown at once, it will ger-
minate as thickly as mustard and cress.
The seed, however, loses its germinating
properties after a feW months. L.
syphilitica is another useful native
plant, attaining a height of thirty to
thirty-six inches, which is just about
to produce its spikes of blue flowers.
It is an excellent border subject.

Fentstemons.
The various perennial pentstemons
can hardly be left out of any represent-
ative herbaceous collection. P. bar-
batus Torreyi flowers for a long time;
its graceful spikes of rich scarlet flow-
ers attain a height of four feet. P.
coTuleus is another July flowering form,
dwarfer growing than Torreyi and dark
blue in color. P. diffusus, violet blue, is
just passing, but P. Isevigatus is still to
flower. Of course, the bedding variety,
P. gloxinioides, is the grandest of th4
whole family, but is not winter
hardy in any but the warmest states.
This is one of the greatest bed-

New Range of the Stuppy Floral G>^ St Joseph, Mo.

ding plants in Europe, and at Bar
Harbor, Me., can be seen magnificently
grown, also along the Massachusetts
north shore. It should be propagated
frona cuttings taken in September or
October and carried over in coldframes.

Phlox Faniculata.

The various forms of Phlox pani-
culata are now, in late July, the most
conspicuous feature in the perennial
borders. The heat and drought have
been hard on these, and where watering
can be conveniently done by means of
sprinklers the plants will be immensely
benefited. When badly dried up at the
roots, phloxes soon go to pieces, but
with an adequate water supply no per-
ennials will flower longer or give
greater satisfaction, either on the plants
or when cut. Young plants raised from
spring cuttings give the finest spikes,
but these will not be at their best for
some time yet. The finest spikes are
always to be had on young plants,
rather than on divided clumps. If the
flower heads on the early flowering sorts
are cut off, the plants will break away
and give quite a good second crop of
flowers later in the season.

Flatycodons and Physostegias.

The platycodons are now in season.
Their large, campanula-like flowers
make a good showing for several weeks.
P. grandiflonam, violet blue, P. Mariesi^
varying shades of blue, and Mariesi
alba, pure white, are all well worth
growing. They can be planted success-
fully either in spring or autumn. They
do not appear above ground as early as
many perennials, and new growers are
liable to get nervous and imagine they
are not coming up at all.

Physostegia Virginica and Virginica
alba, the false dragon head or Texas
heath, is just opening its flowers. This
is one of the finest perennials for cut-
ting and is regulai-ly seen at the Boston
wholesale markets. It spreads rapidly
and should be divided and replanted
every second year.

Lilies.

Lilies cannot be left out of any col-
lection of hardy flowering plants. It is
true they are less reliable than the ma-
jority of plants, but their beauty is
irresistible and they are worth con-
siderable fussing if only they can be
given locations where they will succeed.
Ii. Hansoiu, one of the best of the
genus, succeeds well in clumps along
the shrubbery borders, or in beds by
itself. This ha^just passed out of
bloom; so, too, has L. Bro^nii, with its
big, white, trumpet-shaped flowers, pur-
plish violet outside, as well as the beau-
tiful L.testaceum,also called Isabellinum

and excelsum, with its apricot 'yellow
flowers on spikes five to six feet high.
Fall planted Japanese longiflorums come
into flower now, but generally run out
in a couple of years, as do the bulbs
of L. auratum, unless they are planted
deeply and are kept well mulched. Deep
planting and mulching are needed by
nearly all lilies. L. candidum is an ex-
ception and the varieties with small
bulbs can be set nearer the surface, but
the big-bulbed sorts should go down a
foot.

There is no grander lily nor any more
reliable one than L. Henryi. Its price
is still high, but this lily seems almost
immune from disease, and in August
is our finest variety. It is yet too early
for the speciosums, which are probably
the most generally useful of florists'
lilies for open air culture, the rich-
colored Melpomene magniflcum and the
pure white album being the best two
forms to grow. This has been a hard
year for lilies, and where it has been
possible to supply water the plants have
appreciated it. Some of the new Wil-
son lilies from China promise to be per-
fectly hardy and grand additions to our
gardens. L. myriophyllum, now in
bloom, with its large, wide trumpet
flowers, white shaded with pale lemon,
is one of the best. Then there is the
giant leucanthemum and others still to
be heard from. W. N. Craig.

ACCIDENT TO MISSOUBI QB.OWER.

Ernst Mueller, one of the best known
growers at St. Joseph, Mo., met with
a serious ao(;ident July 21, when his
automobile overturned at the new

plant of the Stuppy Floral Co., where
he had gone to witness an evening's
fumigating. Accompanied by his three
sons in the automobile, Mr. Mueller
undertook to turn the car. around on a
road that runs along the top of an em-
bankment. It appears that when he in-
tended to throw the shifting lever into
the reverse he put it in one of the
high gears, for the car jumped for-
ward and went over the bank. It re-
quired a half hour's work on the part
of the Stuppy greenhouse force to get
the car off their four visitors. Two
of the sons had escaped injury, but Mr.
Mueller was badly battered up, and so
was the 12-year-old boy.

Mr. Mueller is one of the most pro-
gressive vegetable gardeners in the vi-
cinity of St. Joseph, operating a range
of glass of 30,000 square feet, and seven
acres of land, a portion of which is
equipped with the Skinner irrigating
system. The houses are provided
with the Wittbold watering system, and
during the winter months the houses
are full of Qrand Bapids lettuce,
changing as the season advances to
cauliflower, tomatoes and cucumbers.

will not do you much damage. 0. W.

and will not die out as do lilies There
is a wonderful future for tln^m in .\mer-
ican gardens, as th(\v witlistaad heat
and drouglit better, ]irobably, than any
other perennials.

Butterfly Weed and Plume Poppy.

Asck'-|das tuberosa is now in llower.
Its umbels ni' bright orange flowers are
lirodiu-ed in profusion during duly and
.\ugust. and it is oiu' of our most satis-
factory native jierennials. It is easily
]iro]iagated from se(>il.

llocconia cordata, the plume popjiy,
is one of the most robust ot' ]iereunials,
suitable for dotting along th(> backs of
herbaceous borders or scattering through
shrubbeiies. also lofdxing well in bold
clumps on the lawn. It spreads rap
idly, like the helianthii- laniilx. and
must be kept in ]dace. The plant, un-
der good culture, grows eight to ten
fiMd high and the lloweis are produci'd
in large )iaiiicli's. which are creamy
v\hite in color.

The Chilean Lily.

.\ l>t ru'ineria ;iur;int ia'-a . commonly
known as the ('hilean lily, is one of the
fine-t midsummer tioweis fur cutting.
The tlowers are golden ^•ellow to orange
in '-(dor. spotted ciini-on. and :^row two
to three teet in height. This plant suc-
ceeds be-t on ;i gentle -lope, in light,
w(dl drained ground. < )ii low lands,
where water Stands, it will winterkill.

It is readily propagat(>d by division of
the root in spring, or from seed, whidi
should be sown as soon as ripe.

Everlasting Peas.

The everlasting peas are line sub-
jects for covering fences, arbors or trel
lisi's and are now, ir, the third week of
Inly, blooming freely. Latliyrus lati-
folius, tlie type, is well known. Its
llowers aie rosy carmine. Pink Beaut,\'
is rich rose and latifolius albus is pure
white. What a splendid subject the
latter is for the lloristi As the spikes
carry fi\e to eight tlowers each, occa-
sionally more, and ha\e greater sub-
st.ance than swetd peas, they would seem
to lia\(^ coiujnei'cial |iossibiIities. Some
day we may get a race with scented
liow(>rs and in that case every grower
will want a hedge of them, as the.N'
bloom freely for a couple of months.

Lobelias.

Lobelia cardinalis. the cardinal llower,
is .'liways associated with moist and
swainjiy locations and certainly it is a
beautiful object on the borders of
streams and ponds, l)ut it is not gen-
erally known how well it does in the
ordinary herljaceous garden. The flow-
eis this season were opening July 12.
which is a little earlier than usual, and
clumps of them make a brilliant touch
of color in the garden. Xo plant is
more e.asily ]iropagated from seed. If
collected and sown at once, it will ger-
minate as thickly as mustard and cress.
The seed, however, loses its germinating
properties after a few months. L.
sypliilitica is another useful native
plant, attaining >a height of thirty to
thirty-six inches, which is just about
to produi'e its spikes of blue flowers.
It is an exctdlent border subject.
Pentstenions.

The \-arioiis perennial }ientstemons
can hardly be left out of any r<>present-

ding plants in Europe, and at Bar
Harbor, JSIo., can be seen magnificently
grown, also along the Massachusetts
north shore. It should be propagated
from cuttings taken in September or
October and carried over in coldfraines.

Phlox Paniculata.

The various forms of Phlox pani-
culata are now, in late .Fuly, the most
conspicuous feature in the perennial
borders. The heat and drought have
been hard on these, and where watering
can be conveniently done by means of

with an adequate water supply no per

or when cut. Young plants raised from
spring cuttings give the finest spikes,
but these will not be at their best for
some time yet. The finest spikes are
always to be had on young plants,
rather than on divided clumps. Tf the
flower heads on the early flowering sorts
are cut off, the plants will break away
and give quite a good second crop of
flowers later in the season.

Platycodons and Physostegias.

The platycodons are now in season.
Their large, campanula-like flowers
make a good showing for several weeks.
P. grandiflorum, violet blue, P. Mariesi.
varying shades of blue, and Mariesi
alba, pure white, are all well worth
growing. They can be planted success-
fully either in spring or autumn. They
do not appear above ground as early as
many perennials, and new growers are
liable to get nervous and imagine they
are not coming up at all.

Physostegia Virginica and Virginica
alba." the false dragon head or Texas
heath, is just opening its flowers. This
is one of the finest ]>orennials for cut-
ting and is regularly seen at the P.oston
wholesale innrkets." It sjireads rai>idly
and should be divided and replanted
every second year.

Lilies.

Jjlits cMiiiiot be left out of any col-
lection of hardy flowering jdauts. It is
true they are less reliable than the ma-
jority of plants, but their beauty is
irresistible and they are worth con-
siderable fussing if' only they can be
given locations where they will succeed.
Ij. Hansoni, one of the best of the
genus, succeeds well in clumps along
the shrubbery borders, or in beds by
itself. This' has just passed out of
bloom; so, too, has L. Biownii, with its
big. white, trumpet-shaped flowers, pur-
plish violet outside, as well as the beau-
tiful L. testaceum.also called Tsabellinum

and cxcelsum. with its apricot yellow
flowers on spikes five to six feet high.
Fall planted ,1apanese longiflorums come
into flower now, but generally run out
in a couple of years, as do the bulbs
of L. auratum, unless they are planted
deeply and are kept well mulched. Deep
planting and mulching are needed by
nearly all lilies. L. candidum is an ex-
cejition and the varieties with snuill
bulbs can be set nearer the surface, but
the big-bulbed sorts should go down a
foot.

There is no grander lily nor any more
reliable one than L. Henryi. Its price
is still high, but this lily seems almost
immune from disease, and in August
is our finest variety. It is yet too early
for the speciosums, which are probably
the most generally useful of florists'
lilies for open air culture, the rich-
colored Melpomene magnificum and the
pure white album being the best two
forms to grow. This has been a hard
year for lilies, and where it has been
possible to supply water the plants have
appreciated it. Some of the new Wil-
son lilies from China promise to be per-
fectly hardy and grand additions to our
gardens. L. myriophyllum, now in
bloom, with its large, wide trumpet
flowers, white shaded with pale lemon,
is one of the best. Then there is the
giant leucanthemuni and others still to
lie heard from. "W. N. Craig.

ACCIDENT TO MISSOURI GROWER.

Ernst Mueller, one of the best known
growers at St. Joseph, Mo., met with
a serious accident July 21. when his
automobile overturned at the new

plant of the Stuppy Floral Co., where
lie had gone to witness an evening's
fumigating. Accomiianied by his three
sons in the automobile, Mr. Mueller
undertook to turn the car around on a
road that runs along the top of an em-
bankment. It appears that wluMi lie in-
tended to throw the sliifting lever into
the reverse he put it in oiu^ of the
high gears, for the car jumped for-
ward and went over the bank. It re-
(piired a half hour's work on the part
of the Stuppy greenhouse force to get
the car oft' their four visitors. Two
of the sons had escaped injury, but Mr.
Mueller was badly battered up, and so
was tlie 12-year-old boy.

^Ir. ]Mueller is one of the most pro-
gressive vegetable gardeners in the vi-
cinity of St. Joseph, operating a range
of glass of 30,000 square feet, and seven
acres of land, a portion of which is
equipped with the Skinner irrigating

Plow the land before freezing
weather, after giving it a coating of
air-slaked lime at the rate of 2,000
pounds per acre. If you lime your land
every third year at that rate, cutworms
will not do you much damage. C. W.

EFFECT OF SX7N ON COLOR.

Over the greater part of the country
where roses are forced under glass,
there has been, this summer, excessive
and prolonged heat, with its usual ac-
companiment, bright sun. While at the
beginning the roses showed the debili-
tating effects of the heat, they at
length appeared to become acclimated,
as it were, and many growers have of
late been cutting roses the equal of
any produced in less trying summers.
Frequent comment has been made re-
garding the color of Killarney; it has
come a deep pink, fuller and richer
than in winter, which has led to inter-
esting discussion of the effect of bright
sun on the colors of flowers.

Sixteen years ago the late Foster-
Melliar wrote: "Exposure to the sun
undoubtedly takes the depth of tint
from almost all teas, making them
paler," and his editors, in the last
edition of his book, say, "The effect of
unshaded sun upon the colors of roses
seems peculiar — undoubtedly it gradu-
ally absorbs or weakens the yellow tint,
which may not only be preserved but
also increased by close shading or cov-
ering; but a very hot sun will some-
times bring a second red flush on some.
On the other hand, all red H.P.'s cer-
tainly come much brighter in color on
a dull, cool day after a hot time."

The Gardeners' Chronicle notes that
."in England this year garden roses were
decidedly late in starting into growth,
and were forced rapidly into bloom by
the hot sun of May and early June,
with the result that some came into
flower a week earlier than in the last
two years, others a fortnight, and a few
three weeks earlier. The flowers have
been wonderfully bright and clean, and
though some have been small, many
have been of very good quality. But
what has been particularly striking
about them has been the predominance
of pink colors in the flowers, and that
often in roses where one would not
usually expect this tone."

BOSES A THIRD YEAR.

Will it be all right to transplant
two-year-old roses into a new bench, or
will it be better to get new plants?
They are in good condition and bloom-
ing, ■vv^^'. ,; W. G.

While roses can be used a third year,
it would be better for you to plant
young stock if you can secure some of
good quality. The plants in the bench,
if wanted for replanting, should be

moderately rested for five to six weeks
and not planted later than the end of
July. As your plants are still flower-
ing, you cannot give them the need-
ful rest and plant them in sufficient
season; so young stock planted in fresh
soil will be decidedly the best to use.

C. W.

TOO DRY WHEN TRANSPLANTED.

We have some Killarneys, one year
old, which we transplanted to another
house, to new soil. They were excep-
tionally dry before lifting — too dry, I
know now. There was hardly a leaf
when cut back, but many fine looking
eyes. Almost every eye on the plants
started at once and grew till one to
two inches long, but there they stand.
They are green, not yellow, but the red-
dish color which the new leaves should
have is wanting on perhaps one out of
twenty plants. The new growths are
wilting and drying up. On examining
the roots, I find few new growths start-
ed; on the drying plants the roots are
dead. The leaf growths seem to be

ahead of the roots on all. What can I
expect of such plants? Would it be
better to throw them all out and buy
new plants?

My Bichmonds are starting finely
under the same conditions and all the
new stock is satisfactory. All are
planted in the same kind of soil. A
few of the Killarneys, which were get-
ting some drip from a gutter on the
old bench, did not dry up. This ex-
plains the cause of the trouble, I think.
It is getting late for planting and I
do not know what it would be better
to do. Can you give me some sugges-
tions? ^ N. N.

None of the forcing roses should be
severely dried. What they need is a
reduced supply of water at the roots
for a few weeks. If this causes even
a heavy loss of leaves, it has been car-
ried to excess and will seriously cripple
the plants, more particularly when
they are replanted and started up at
the most torrid season of the year. 1
am afraid that plants which have lost
all or nearly all their foliage will not,
even under the most careful cultural
conditions, give you much satisfaction.
It is not by any means too late to se-
cure young stock to take their place
and this is what I would advise.

The fact that certain plants, which
were less severely dried off, are doing
well, plainly shows that the real cause
of the trouble was excessive dryness
at the root. Another year, be careful
not to overdry your plants. The soil
should never become dry. All that is
needed is a moderate reduction in the
water supply, and even this should be
partly counterbalanced by keeping the
plants well sprayed overhead. C. W.

SWEET PEAS FOR CHRISTMAS.

I wish to grow some sweet peas and
have them in full crop at Christmas, if
possible. I will plant them either in
our lettuce or radish house, in which
the temperatures will be 45 and 50 de-
grees, respectively. Which house would
you recommend planting them in? The
houses are 28x160, running from east to
west. I will plant them in solid
benches and run the rows across the
house from north to south. How far
apart must the rows be planted for best
results? Please name the best white,
pink and red varieties for planting and
give the date of planting, in order to
have a full crop at the time stated.
What height shall I make the supports?
Will a netting fence five feet high be
all right? My location is northern Wyo-

ming.

•■'•i

L. M. B.

Sow the peas not later than the end
of August, and the middle of the
month would be better in your state.

Either of the houses named, if it has
ample light and head room and the
necessary heat, should answer well for
peas. A night temperature of 45 de-
grees will do well until the flowers com-
mence to open, when 48 to 50 degrees
should be maintained as nearly as pos-
sible. For best results let the rows
run four feet apart. Some growers let
them run six feet apart, growing vio-
lets or some other cool crop between
them until the peas shade them too
heavily. Peas want plenty of head
room; while five feet would answer for
Watchung or Mont Blanc, it would be
too low for some sorts, which under
good culture will run up eight or ten
feet. If, instead of using wire netting,
you will run upright strings from a
stout galvanized wire just above the
ground, and, as the vines grow, draw
them in every few days with white
twine, you will find this a better and
more economical support than the net-
ting. As a general rule, we like our
peas to run lengthways of the house.

Will you tell me what time to plant
sweet peas inside so as to have them
in bloom for the middle of November?
What kind is the best? I live in the
central part of Kansas. J. A. G.-

In your latitude the seed should be

SWEET PEA SHOW IN LONDON.

It was the#eleventh annual exhibition
of the National Sweet Pea Society of
Great Britain that was held at London,
England, July 11 and 12, and visited
by thousands on each day. Among the
number were Mr. and Mrs, W. Atlee
Burpee and two sons, from Philadelphia,
Mr. Burpee accepted an invitation to
officiate as one of the judges, and his
son, David, was enrolled a member of
the society and acted as one of the
stewards. The forty-four classes in the
schedule brought out 150 competitors,
with 820 exhibits, a total of 2,500
vases, independent of collections, table
decorations and non-competitive trade
exhibits. The finest trade exhibit in
the show was put up by Robert Bolton,
Carnforth, who staged remarkably

large, fresh flowers, including several
of his own novelties of great merit,
notably Afterglow, a rosy mauve bi-
color; large gold medal awarded. Gold
medals were awarded to Dobbie & Co.,
Edinburgh; Eobert Sydenham, Birming-
ham, and J. Carter & Co, London. Sil-
ver gilt medals were awarded to Sutton
& Sons, Reading; W. Deal, Kelvedon;
S. Bide & Son, Farnham, and J, Box,
Windfield,

The floral committee had numerous
calls on their ability and discretion,
judging the new varieties in the soci-
ety's trials, and made awards to
Thomas Stevenson, from Dobbie & Co.,
a brilliant orange scarlet, F. C. C. ; Bar-
bara, a good form of the Earl Spencer
type, from Robert Holmes, Norwich, F.
C. C; May Campbell, from Dobbie &
Co., cream ground watered and veined
carmine, A. M.; Mauve Queen, from
Dobbie & Co., A. M.; Red Star, from A.
Malcolm, deep crimson scarlet, A. M.;
Mrs. B. Gilbert, from Gilbert & Son,
Bourne, white, with faint violet mark-
ings, A. M.; F. Seymour Davis, from
F. Seymour Davis, pale rosy lilac, A. M.
Other good varieties of recent intro-
duction on view were Melba and Lady
Knox, from Dobbie & Co.; Queen Mary,
from E. W. King & Co.; King Mansel,
from Q. Stark & Son, etc.

There were five competitors for the
Burpee cup for display of sweet peas
on a space 3x8 feet, and the winner
was C. W. Breadmore, Winchester, with
fine vases of Mrs. C. W. Breadmore,
Maud Holmes, George Herbert, Prin-
cess May, Paradise Ivory, Dazzler,
American Spencer, Flora Norton Spen-
cer, Audrey Crier, etc. J. Box, Wind-
field, second.

There was a notable gathering of the
elite of the sweet pea world in the
evening, with Robert Sydenham in the
chair. Representatives sat around the
festive board from America, South
Africa, Australia, New Zealand and

France. The after-dinner speeches, for
brilliancy, good humor and wit, were
never equaled in the annals of the soci-
ety. The toast of "Our Guests" was
replied to by Mens. Schaettel, of Vil-
morin's, Paris; T. Patterson, Mel-
bourne, Australia, and W. Atlee Bur-
pee, Philadelphia, who surpassed all
his previous gems of oratory spoken in
our midst. Others who took part in
adding to the pleasantries of the pro-
eeedings included W. Cuthbertson, of
Dobbie & Co.; Hugh Dickson, of Alex.
Dickson & Son; S. B. Dicks, of Cooper,
Taber & Co.; W. P. Wright, J. S. Brun-
ton, and the society's indefatigable
secretary, C. H. Curtis.

About 120 members inspected the 260
trials of sweet peas conducted by the
society at the Times Experimental Sta-
tion, July 13. The heat wave and pre-
vious dry weather had robbed the
flowers of much of their size and true
colors, but it was obvious that the
purity of stock was better than in pre-
vious years. Lady Northcliffe, presi-
dent of the society, presided at and
entertained the company at lunch. She
was supported by W. Atlee Burpee and
Alfred Watkins, of Watkins & Simp-
son, and all three took part in the brief
toast list, as did also W. Cuthbertson.

G. W, Leak is chairman of the soci-
ety's committee of management. He
is general manager for R. H. Bath,
Ltd., the Floral Farm, Wisbech, about
three hours by rail from London, and
he invited members to inspect the
firm's fields of sweet peas and other
flowers. Upwards of fifty accepted the
invitation and had a splendid outing
July 14, viewing the specialties of the
farm and enjoying the hospitality of
the firm at lunch and tea. This ended
the society's functions, but many
smaller parties were made up during
the week to view the sweet pea fields
for seed purposes in Essex, and the seed
prospects at present are good. Bee.

July 27, 1911.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

A heavy rain July 23 put the finish-
ing touches on the garden department,
and completed the recovery of vege-
tation from the effects of the long
continued drought. The outlook now
for good crops is most encouraging.
In the cauliflower market there has
been no change. Few of the new roses
are arriving. These, if of good quality,
are snapped up at fair prices. The
great majority of arrivals are short-
stemmed and no definite quotation of
value is possible. The clean-up of
roses depends on the funeral require-
ments. Few good Beauties are seen.
These hold at 25 cents. The supply
will increase rapidly from now on, but
no better prices can be expected be-
fore the end of August,

The carnation shipments are light,
and few of the flowers are worthy of
the name; $1 per hundred seems to be
top for the best of them, and 25 cents
to 50 cents per hundred takes the re-
mainder. Valley and lilies alone have
made advances that deserve recogni-
tion. The hot weather and scarcity
raised them to almost double last
week's quotations. Good valley
touched 4 cents, lilies 8 cents, and there
were not enough of them July 22 to go
around. Orchids are scarce. A few
gigas sold at 60 cents to 75 cents each.
The shipments of asters were heavy at
the end of last week, and $1 to $2 per
hundred was the figure for most of
them. Some of the wholesalers were
selling them at 25 cents a bunch. The
supply this week will be immense. The
gladiolus shipments are increasing daily.
Prices for the new and white varieties
were from $3 to $4 per hundred. The
big growers have already sent out their
announcements of direct shipments to
retailers, to begin before the end of
July, at 50 cents per hundred in 250
lots and over. There will be an un-
limited supply. Smilax sold as low as
25 cents per dozen strings July 22.
The sweet pea stock is below the av-
erage. Only the selected sells. Even
the street merchants have deserted the
city, and there is but little doing at
the department stores.

Various Notes.

Everybody is talking convention, now
less than three weeks away, and every-
body seems to be going on the New
York Florists' Club's special train, at
noon on Monday, August 14, via the

Samuel Keller, of Eeed & Keller, left
last week for Europe.

The deaths of Col. Sickles, of Spring
Lake, and Mr. Freeman, president of
the American Bank Note Co., created a
large demand for funeral flowers last
week, nearly all the leading retailers
getting a share of the orders. Several
carloads of set pieces were sent from
New York. M. A. Bowe used 500 or-
chids in a pall.

Andrew Wilson, of the Wilson Plant
Oil Co., has just returned from a suc-
cessful New England trip. The firm
will be represented at the convention
by President Creighton and Mr. Wil-
son, who contemplate, as do several
others, an auto trip there from New
York. Miss C. E. Jenkins, bookkeeper
for this house, leaves this week for a
two weeks' stay in the mountains.

Miss Marie Winklehaus, of Wm. El-
liott & Sons, is enjoying a three weeks'
holiday in the New England hills.

George Stumpp, of the Stumpp & Wal-
ter Co., writes from Paris of an en-
joyable summer, with his family, on
the continent.

Miss Behan, bookkeeper for 6. Myer,
is enjoying her summer vacation in the
Catskills.

George Siebrecht left July 22 on the
motorboat Ace, one of the competitors
for the $1,500 prize, for the all-sea race
from New York to Portland, Me. Walter
Siebrecht has returned from his outing
and is still fighting an attack of Job's
comforters.

Jury duty still claims its victims
from the ranks of the wholesalers. John
Kessler, of Kessler Bros., is now tak-
ing his medicine.

C. W. Scott, of the Yokohama Nur-
sery Co., has devoted a couple of weeks
to recreation at Whitestone, L. I.

arranging for the importation of many
novelties in ribbons, which the florists
will inspect at Baltimore, as he will re-
turn in time for the convention.
Schloss Bros, will make a larger ex-
hibit than usual at Baltimore. Emil
Schloss will represent the firm there.
Lion & Co. will have a large and unique
exhibit, as usual.

Arthur Herrington leaves this week
for England, because of the serious ill-
ness of his mother.

Robert McNiflf and wife have re-
turned from a fortnight's holiday in
the Catskills.

Bowling.

The New York Club will continue its
bowling practice at Thumm's alleys
every Friday evening until August 11,
on which date Captain Chadwick will
determine the membership of the team
that will bowl at Baltimore. The Long
Island Club, of Astoria, will be repre-
sented by Donaldson, Miesem, Sie-
brecht, Einsman and Kessler, and if
sickness does not intervene, this team
should carry home some of the bacon.

Tbe Market.

The market was good last week and
the wholesalers found some trouble in
getting in enough good stock to go
around. Carnations are about all in,
although there are a few good flowers
still arriving, ^^t these we expect will
>k to make room for
Asters are coming in
iwer will help out con-
it starts to come as it
ly asters around this
re, and those we are
tg shipped from a dis-
picking up right along
and the cut now is good all around.
Sweet peas are not good, owing to the
long dry spell. Excellent gladioli are
being shipped into this market. Easter
lilies are coming in nice shape and are
just about equal to the demand. Lan-
cif olium lilies also are arriving in large
numbers, and are being cleaned up
daily. Double gypsophila is being
used here in quantity. It is a decided
novelty, and the buyers do not seem to
be able to get enough of it. Nice lots
of phlox, gaillardia, candytuft, del-
phiniums and other outdoor flowers go
to make up the cut flower supply at
this season.

Various Notes.

Michael Bloy is taking life easy these
days in his Packard touring car, and
last week visited Thos. Browne, at
Greenfield, and found his mums in fine
condition. The carnations at this es-
tablishment are suffering on account of
the dry weather, but it is expected they
will pick up now, as we have had some
good rains the last few days.

Louis Gharvat has completed his three
new houses and is all planted up.

Mr. and Mrs. William Hielscher have
returned from their wedding trip.

Geo. E. Browne is busy repairing his
houses, getting ready for an early start,
but is still cutting some fine summer
carnations.

Charles Warncke, Jr., is on the mar-
ket every morning, buying up all the
stock he can get for the heavy demand
for funeral work.

Edward Beard is busy planting his
carnations, but is figuring on a few
weeks ' fishing before the season is much
older.

A. C. Schmidt, who recently opened
a store where R. O. Koehler was lo-
cated, on Gratiot avenue, reports trade
as being far better than he expected.

Robert Flowerday, Jr., of the Detroit
Floral Co., is not on the market in per-
son every day, but the boys at the
wholesale houses look for his orders on
the phone and from the packages and
boxes carried out for this firfc they cer-
tainly get their share of the business.

William B. Brown is busy at the
store, as his help are out on their vaca-
tions.

Murray Patterson is in England and
there is a rumor around town that he
will be married there early in August.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter Taepke are
away on a trip to Montreal aiid the
Thousand Islands.

Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Mitchell hAve
returned from the Snow Islands and re-
port the fishing good.

The buildings occupied for many
years by the Bemb Floral Co., at 153
Bates street, are being demolished to
make way for a fine modern retail es-
tablishment. Mr. Pochelon. the pro-
prietor, expects to be back m the new
place about Christmas. At present he
is carrying on his business at 48 Cadil-
lac square. He recently had a notable
decoration for a banquet of the Ford
auto people.

Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Fetters recently
spent a week near Carsonville, Mich.

Peter F. Beuss, of Schroeter 's, is tak-
ing a well earned rest on a farm near
Bad Axe., Mich.

Albert Stahelin, of Bedford, Mich., is
erecting four new carnation houses,
each 35x173. In buUding these houses,
Mr. Stahelin is carrying out an idea
of his own, on which a patent has been
applied for. The houses will be entirely
of iron construction, the material being
supplied by the G. M. Garland Co., Des
Flaines, 111. The novel feature is that
the houses will be so constructed as to
be movable. The whole framework will
be suppdrted on rollers running on rail-
road tracks. Mr. Stahelin 's idea is to
plant the carnations right into the solid
beds and, when the time comes, just
roll the houses over the beds. Each
house will be complete, with steam
pipes, ventilators, etc., so that all that
will Ije necessary when they, are rolled
into position is to couple up the steam
pipes to the mains. ., ,

Monday, July 31, the florists of De-
troit and vicinity will be the guests of
the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange at
an outing to Peche Island., ;^.^he re-
tailers have been requested to close
their stores at noon Monday, thereby
enabling their employees to accept this
invitation. Everyone is invited to at-
tend, from the babies to the grand-
parents.

Work on Breitmeyer 's new store is
progressing nicely, and Mr. Breitmeyer
expects it will be ready for occupancy
by October 1. The Mack avenue estab-
lishment is being entirely overhauled
and a new palm house is being con-
structed, twelve feet high at the gut-
ters.

S. S. Skidelsky was here last week.
Schroeter 's men are busy putting into

W. DESMOND.

One of the well, known figures in the
trade at the Twin Cities is W. Desmond,
who for eight years has been connected
with the florists' department of the L.
S. Donaldson Co., the largest depart-
ment store in Minneapolis. Mr. Des-
mond was born and brought up in Chi-
cago and he has the western push and
enterprise. His first position with the
Donaldson concern, which for many
years has done an extremely large busi-
ness in cut flowers and plants, was as
an assistant in the greenhouses. Later

'W. Desmond.

he went into the store and in the
course of time became manager of the
buying and selling end of the business.
June 1 he received the appointment of
general manager of the florists' depart-
ment, so that the greenhouses now also
come under his direction. The glass
area is nearly 65,000 square feet, de-
voted to a general line of stock, prin-
cipally in the pot plant line. The Don-
aldson Co. is one of the largest buyers
of cut flowers in the Chicago market.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business last week was fairly good
with some of the store men, while oth-
ers say that trade was quiet all the
week. Funeral work is about all the
business that is coming in at present.
The wholesale market, too, is dull, as
little extra good stock is coming in and
prices are holding up on the poor
grades. Eoses are anything but first-
class and anything good sells quickly.
The same may be said of carnations.

All outdoor stock is suffering for
want of rain. Gladioli are fairly good,
but with tops badly burned; however,
they sell well. Asters are now being
cut from local fields, but are small.
Tuberose stalks are beginning to come
in. These, too> will be scarce, unless
relief comes from a good, heavy rain.
The few light showers last week did
not help much. Kirkwood, Clayton and
Olivette are furnishing the bulk of the
gladioli that are helping out the re-
tailers this summer. Augusta, America
and Mrs. Francis King are the best
sellers and bring top prices.

Smilax has been in good demand, but

the market has little Just now. Most
of our local growers are preparing to
house their carnations quickly. They
say there will be a scarcity of field
grown plants this season.

The Florists' Picnic.

The social event of the year among
the florists, namely, the florists' picnic,
took place last week at Bamona park,
a beautiful spot in St. Louis county.
The attendance was not quite as large
as in former years, although nearly 400
came to enjoy the day's outing and be
among friends in the trade. No doubt
many were kept away owing to the
dark and cloudy morning, but the
clearing weather at noon brought out
the large crowd in the afternoon. The
reception committee, Messrs. Pileher,
Fillmore and Beneke, was on hand to
receive them at the gate.

At 2 o'clock Messrs. Windier, Gums
and Patton started the games, all of
which had large entries. Tlie winners
were as follows:

Walking piatch; 300 yards, for growers only —
John M. Connon.

Young ladles' race — Miss Anna Blshoff.

Girls' race; under 16 years — Lizzie Lowe.

Boys' race; under 12 years — Wheeler Detgen.

Ball throwing contest — Albert Gums.

Ladles' ball throwing contest — Mrs. Faerber.

Men's race; oyer 50 years — J. J. Beneke.

o'clock and twelve couples took the
floor. The judges were: W. J. Pilcher,
B, Eschner and E. Windier. This was
won by Miss Martha Helwig, her part-
ner being Frank Windier.

A panorama photograph of the party
was taken at 4 o 'clock. The rest of the
day was taken up with boating, fishing,
dancing and games of all kinds, and
was much enjoyed by the large crowd.
The committee of arrangements, which
had the outing in charge, Messrs. Guy,
Smith and Beneke, were congratulated
on all sides for the splendid day's sport
furnished by them.

Various Notes.

Mrs. John Steidle, president of the
Ladies' Home Circle, reports that there
will be no meeting of the circle next
month. All members will receive
notices of the location for the Septem-
ber meeting.

Mrs. M. E. Bronson, representing the
Burlington Basket Shop, of Burlington,
la., was here last week calling on the
trade. Mrs. Bronson had a full line of
samples at the Hotel Jefferson.

Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Bruenig and Mr.
and Mrs. H. G. Berning will be among
those who will make the trip to Balti-
more for the convention next month.

Charles Schoenle won the gold watch
and chain offered by the Million Club
to the one who guessed the nearest dis-
tance their balloon traveled from Kan-
sas City recently. Mr. Schoenle guessed
the correct distance, 410 miles. He was
around showing his pri^e last week in
the wholesale district.

A. G. Fehr, of Belleville, 111., reports
that he is building two new houses for
carnations, 28x110 and 28x140. Mr.
Fehr says he had a splendid business
season in all lines.

The Eggeling Floral Co., at Grand
and Lafayette avenues, will have to va-
cate August 1. The ground is owned by
the Shaw estate and their old store will
be replaced by a large office building.
Their new location has not as yet been
announced.

C. E. De Wever, at Olivette, says
that the Skinner irrigation system has
been a saver for him during this long
dry spell. All of his outdoor stock is
in the best shape at present.

The florists along Grand avenue, both
north and south, are refreshing their
store fronts with new coats of paint,
and interior decorations and other im-
provements are being made for the
opening of the fall season.

Fred C. Weber is building a hand-
some residence in Park View place for
his daughter, who is to be married this
fall. The whole Weber family enjoyed
a day's vacation at the florists' picnic
last week.

Florists from Belleville, Edwardsville,
Alton, East St. Louis, Kirkwood, St.
Charles and Webster attended the pic-
nic in full force, and said they spent
a most enjoyable day.

Max L. Pelletier furnished delightful
music for the dancers at the picnic.
Mrs. Pelletier, who runs a flower store
on the south side, was out with her
family.

C. C. Sanders and William C. Young,
ex-presidents and rival candidates for
trusteeship of the Florists' Club, were
out electioneering at the picnic. Both
want the job badly, so an exciting time
is expected at the August meeting of
the club. J. J. B.

NEW ORLEANS.

Annual Club Meeting.

The New Orleans Horticultural So-
ciety held its twenty-sixth annual meet-
ing and election of officers July 20 at
Kolb's German tavern. President Eich-
ling and Secretary Panter were in their
places, and a large number of enthu-
siastic members were present.

The election of the president was one
of the most exciting events of the kind
ever seen in this organization. Claude
L. Ory came out as the victor, winning
by one vote over his opponent, E. E.
Simon. Eichard Eichling, the former
president, was nominated first for re-
election, but he withdrew to give some
other member of the society a chance
to have the presidential honors. The
officers elected for the ensuing term
are: Claude Ory, president; B. M.
Wischer, vice-president; John Eblen,
treasurer, for the twenty-seventh term;
C. E. Panter, recording secretary; Eich-
ard Eichling, corresponding secretary.
The last four officers named were all
elected unanimously. The new finance
committee consists of Joseph Steckler,
E. Baker and P. A. Chopin.

The treasury of the association
showed a balance of $770 in cash and
state bonds.

The subject of locating the meeting
hall in more convenient quarters was
brought up again for discussion. P.
A. Chopin, Joseph Steckler and Harry
Papworth were appointed as a commit-
tee to confer with the governing board
of the local Progressive Union for the
purpose of obtaining a meeting room
in the new building of that organiza-
tion, and, in case of failure in that
plan, to find some other suitable quar-
ters and report at an opportune time.

J. A. Newsham, the local orchid
grower, exhibited some beautiful flow-
ers of Dendrobium formosum and D.
Phalsenopsis, besides Cattleya Trianse
and Harrisonia;. His exhibit elicited
well deserved admiration.

After the meeting the members were
the guests of the newly elected officers
at a delightful supper, served in tiie
elegant Dutch room at Kolb's tavern.
Short addresses were made by the newly
elected president and others.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

Although the demand of late was not
what one would call brisk, still it was
strong enough to clean up all avail-
able stock. Carnations are a thing of
the past. The supply of summer roses
has been just about equal to the de-
mand. The daily supply of Easter lilies
has helped to relieve the shortage in
other lines. With no rain from July 3
to 24, all outdoor stock clearly shows
the effect of the prolonged dry spell.
Hence the early asters and gladioli,
which are beginning to come in, are
not of the desired quality. There are
enough American Beauties coming in to
fill all wants.

Various Notes.

Times change methods. Where years
ago the carnation growers housed their
stock August 15 and later, generally
waiting for a good rain, our local grow-
ers have most of their plants housed at
this date, thus having them under per-
fect control from now on.

While a good many are taking advan-

tage of the dull season by resting up,
others get busy remodeling and build-
ing additions. Gustavo Pohl is put-
ting up three new houses, averaging
23x130, to replace those which have
seen better days. This will give him
one more house than before, which will
be utilized for cut flowers.

Eichard Lietz, located at 1433 Fond
du Lac avenue, is putting the finishing
touches to a neat conservatory at the
rear of his store, which will be 17x45.
His next move will be to remodel the
store. As he does all the work himself,
he will not find much time for a pro-
longed vacation.

Edwin J. Gregory, better known to
the boys as Ted, who is the nephew
and able assistant of Ben Gregory, is
spending his vacation on the other side
of the Atlantic. He expects to be back
in the harness by September 1.

Walter Halliday, of the C. C. Poll-
worth Co., took to the lakes last week
to try his luck at fishing. He will be
gone about two weeks.

Aug. F. Kellner is busy these days
building a rockery at one of the large
Oconomowoc places. He says that
mainly crotons will be used in fill in.

At the store of Holton & Hunkel Co.
they are overhauling all the tables
and other furniture, preparatory to
next season's rush. They say that in
spite of the dry spell, the large field of
asters at the Brown Deer place is look-
ing good.

The C. C. Pollworth Co. is completing
plans which will insure larger and more
\airy quarters not far from their pres-
ent location in the near future.

Eecent visitors were: John Meier,
Green Bay, Wis. ; Jerry Jergenson, Ealph
Latham and Oscar Carlson, of Minne-
apolis. E. O.

nn>L/^NAFOLIS.

The Market.

The extremely hot weather has played
havoc with the stock. Peas have about
dried up, but asters and gladioli are
becoming more plentiful. Album and
rubrum lilies are to be bad, but not in
large quantities as yet. Indoor carna-
tions are getting smaller and more
scarce, as the old plants are being torn
out. Eoses are poor and do not keep
well.

Various Notes.

Ed Larson, who has had a bad case
of malarial fever, is much improved.

Hans Kipke finished his Master
Mason degree last week.

Sidney Smith was too busy planting
carnations to attend the picnic last
week.

Ollie Hobbs, with the C. N. Hobbs &
Sons Nursery Co., has regained his
health again. Mr. Hobbs had a severe
attack of pneumonia last spring and
his condition was alarming for a while.

W. W. Coles, of Kekomo, left last
week to spend the balance of the season
at his summer home in northern Michi-
gan.

Wm. Brust, formerly with A. Wie-
gand & Sons, has taken a position as
assistant fv/reman at Bertermann Bros.'
Cumberland plant.

Homer Wiegand leaves this week for
a three weeks' fishing trip in northern
Michigan.

B. F. Eschner, with M. Eice & Co.,
spent a day with the trade this week.

C. E. Green is spending his vacation
on a farm in southern Indiana.

The annual picnic of the State
Florists ' Association was held at Fair-
view park Thursday, July 20, with a
fairly good crowd in attendance. One
of the main attractions was the ball
game. A team headed by Adolph Baur
defeated one headed by Chas. Jones,
of Eichmond, 4 to 1. One of the fea-
tures of the game was the base run-
ning of Herman Schilling; after mak-
ing a hit he ran to third base instead
of first. There were a number of out-
of-town florists in attendance, among
them being Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Gause
and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Jones, of Eich-
mond; B. F. Hensley, wife and eight
employees, of Knightstown, and Mr. and
Mrs. Maximer, of Alexander.

Adolph Baur and Irwin Bertermann

Flowers of all kinds are scarce; the
demand is more than equal to the sup-
ply. Gladioli are more plentiful than
last week. Carnatiolfe and roses are of
poor quality.

Clnb Picnic.

The annual outing' of the Cincinnati
Florists' Society was held Thursday,
July 20. The craft was well repre-
sented. It was held at Coney Island,

and most of the participants went on
the 9:30 a. m. boat. There were con-
tests of all kinds. The boys' baseball
game was won by the team captained
by Ben George, the prize being $4.50.
The boys' 100-yard dash for a glove,
donated by the Heckman Floral Co.,
was won by Geo. Culver. The boys'
sack race for $1, donated by P. J. din-
ger, was won by Adolph Dennler. The
girls' race for $2 was won by Marie
Hoffmeister. The men's 100-yard dash
for a pair of cuff links was won by
Chas. Windram. The married ladies'
race of fifty yards was won by Mrs.
Wilhelmy, the prize being a jardiniere
basket donated by E. G. Gillett. The
senior men 's race was won by Ed
Mturphy, the prize being a box of
cigars, donated by E. Witterstaetter.
The men's tug of war was won by the
side chosen by Louis Pfeiffer, the prize
■ a box of cigars donated by iS'ank Ball.
The mile run was one of the greatest
features of the day and was won by
Joseph Ludwig; first prize an umbrella
donated by C. E. Critchell; second prize
a scarf pin, won by Charles "Windram.
The men's ball game was the Growers
vs. the Store Men. The game was pro-
gressing nicely when a heavy shower
interrupted, and they adjourned to the
bowling alleys to decide the game,
which was won by the Growers. The
prize was a tie pin to each of the win-
ning team. The ladies' bowling contest
was won by Irene Speck, the prize La
Valliere, donated by Louis Kyrk. The
second prize was a veil pin, donated by
John Jennings and won by Kate Pfeif-
fer. The booby prize was won by Mrs.
E. C. Witterstaetter. The men's bowl-
ing contest for $5 was won by Wm.

Schumann. The second prize, leather
bowling shoes, was won by Wm. Sun-
derbruch. The booby prize went to Ed
Horning. The third prize, a watch fob,
was won by Bay Murphy. The prize
for highest score in one game, fifty
Delhi carnation cuttings, donated by
Wm. Murphy, was won by E. C. Wit-
terstaetter. The prize for the highest
number of strikes and spares, a foun-
tain pen, donated by Lawrence Fritz,
was won by Wm. Schumann. The sec-
ond prize, a knife, donated by J. M.
McCuUough's Sons Co., was won by
Eay Murphy. The committee on the
outing deserves great credit for the
way it conducted the amusements.

BOSTON.

The Market.

We have been favored with more com-
fortable weather of late. and, although
the temperature has run up to 90 de-
grees one or two days, this has seemed
cool by comparison with what we had
earlier in the month. There has been
no great call for flowers, but the quan-
tity of really good stock coming in is
surprisingly small, and it is sometimes
difficult to round up sufficient material
for choice funeral designs. Eoses con-
tinue of fair quality and, as supplies
are much diminished, sales have been
quite good. Carnations are of little ac-
count. Many growers are through for
the season, and a small number of them
only are sending presentable flowers.
White Enchantress, Queen, Pink De-
light and Fair Maid are still seen of
fair quality.

Asters are rather more plentiful and

The Market.

\Ve liave been faxnred with more com-
fortable weather of late and. although
the temperature lias run u[) lo 90 de-
grees one or two days, this has seemed
cool by comi>arison with what we had
earlier in the month. There has been
no great call for flowers, but the quan-
tity of really good stock coming in is
s\irprisingly small, and it is sometimes
ditlicult to round up sufTicient material
for choice funeral designs. L'oses con-
tinue of fair quality and. as su|iplies
are miudi diminished, sales have lieen
(piite good. Carnations are of little ac-
count. Many growers are through for
the season, and a small number of them
only are sending presentable flowers.
White Enchantress, Queen, Pink De-
light and Fair Maid are still seen of
fair quality.

Asters are rather more plentiful and

sell well. As yet the variety is chiefly
Queen of toe Market. The severe
drought has made stems short, but some
growers report their l^ter batches as
doing uncommonly well where the soil is
deep and kept well cultivated. Sweet
, peas are a little better than they weie,
but the quality leaves much to be de-
sired. Cornflowers, candytuft, white
achillea and gypsophila are seen in fair
quantity. Lilies are temporarily rather
short, while valley meets with a good
sale. Some good calla^ are still seen.
Indoor grown gladioli are over. Some
are coming from outdoors, but the qual-
ity is not good. In cattleyas there are
C. gigas and the small but pretty C.
Harrisoniae, but c^ls are not heavy.
For common wood fern the demand is
much better than for adiantum or as-

paragus.

Various Notes.

Robert E. Lassman, the veteran
Watertown florist, now over 80 years
of age, is one of the rapidly lessening
number of those who fought fifty years
ago at the battle of Bull Run. Mr.
Lassman came to America from Prussia
in 1854 and fought all through the
Civil war, including Gettysburg, having
his turn in Libby prison. He is a stall-
holder at the Boston Co-operative Mar-
ket and active for an octogenarian.

R. & J. Farquhar & Co. had a special
exhibit of new Chinese lilies at Horti-
cultural hall July 22. The special vari-
ety not previously exhibited in flower
was named L. Farquhar by E. H. Wil-
son, the collector. The plants grow two
to four feet high. Flowers are carried
on stout stems, four to ten on a stalk,
and are large trumpet shaped, pale
green outside and pure white within,
stamens brown. This is one of the
grandest lilies ever introduced.

Charles Evans, of Watertown, is on
the market with a fine lot of the double
white Gypsophila paniculata, which ev-
ery florist should grow. He also is cut-
ting Physostegia Virginica.

J. H. Leach & Son, of North Easton, <

are cutting some fine asters. Their car-
nations in the field look first-class. They
are building a new house for their fine
seedling carnation. Pink Supreme, which
proved a grand seller last season at th.e
Boston Co-operative Market.

A. G. Lake, of Wellesley Hills, is one
of the leading aster specialists for the
Boston market, growing them by the
acre. He has splendid, deep soil and he
gets remarkable stems. He is already
marketing some of the early sorts and
a little later will cut wagon loads daily.

Mann Bros., of Randolph, are cutting
extra good longiflorum lilies, also
gladioli, gypsophilas, cornflowers, asters
and a large variety of outdoor flowers.

J. T. Butterworth has been cutting
some grand Cattleya gigas. He also has
the useful C. Harrisonise in bloom. This
he grows in quantity, and, grown in
large baskets hung near the ridge of
one of his houses, it does splendidly.

Visitors last week included Thomas
Knight, representing Knight & Struck,
New York, and F. G. Sealey, with Julius
Roehrs Co., Rutherford, N. J.

Drought conditions continue acute.
Nothing but light, scattered showers
have fallen of late. July's rainfall to
July 24 has been only .38 of an inch,
and growers of outdoor flowers and
vegetables are having a discouraging
season.

A visit to the Bay State Nurseries
found everything clean and thrifty.
The big blocks of both deciduous and
evergreen trees and shrubs could hardly
have looked better. The success lies
in constant cultivation of the soil.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas' Pegler have
reached England safely after a pleasant
journey. Mr. Pegler will be much
missed at the annual club picnic, where
he has proved formidable in the fat
men's race, as well as on the commer-
cial tug of war team.

In connection with his new Lord &
Burnham steel-frame house at Revere,
Thomas Roland is also building a brick
stack 100 feet high and a large steel
and concrete boiler house.

Perry Green, of Quincy, among other
specialties is marketing fine batches of
sweet sultans, bachelor's buttons, rweet
peas, coreopsis and other outdoor flow-
ers at 2 Park street.

The fishing excursion July 21 at-
tracted a large attendance of salesmen
and growers from the Boston Flower
Exchange, and all report a splendid
time, although there were no remarkable
catches of the finny tribe.

Welch Bros, report quite a nice July
trade in cut flowers. They send a good
many to shore and mountain resorts
and have had no surplus of good flow-
ers, owing to the hot weather. P.
Welch is enjoying himself at Orchard
Beach, Me., and encouraging advices are
received from his brother, David, now
on a trip to Europe for his health.

George W. Ayer, the well known
Reading carnation specialist, is enjoy-
ing an auto trip to Canada. His car-
nations handled by D. J. Lamey are
still of good quality.

William J. Thurston, manager at the
Boston Flower Exchange, is home from
his annual vacation, looking brown and
fit after a pleasant outing in Maine.

The next prize exhibition at Horti-
cultural hall wiU occur August 19 and
20, when perennial phloxes, gladioli, as-
ters and annuals will be special fea-
tures.

Carnation plants in the fields are
making but little growth in this section.

owing to continued heat and drought,
and are much smaller than usual. The
call for field plants promises to be
larger than ever before and some grow-
ers are already sold out.

OLEN COVE, L. I.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Glen Cove Horticultural Society was
held in Pembroke hall, Wednesday, July
12. President Trepess occupied the
chair. Messrs. Everett, McKenzie and
Carter were appointed judges of the
exhibits. J. McDonald was awarded
first prize for sweet peas, white pink
and any other color. J. Ingram's spe-
cial prize for twelve varieties of sweet
peas, twenty-five sprays of each, went
to G. Barton. H. Gaut received hon-
orable mention for sweet peas, and F.
Petroccia for cucumbers, and the latter
got a special mention for beans.

The secretary read a number of let-
ters from seedsmen and others, offering
special prizes for the fall show, and it
was moved that a hearty vote of thanks
be accorded to all. It was decided that
the dahlia show be held in Pembroke
hall, September 26, and the executive
committee was requested to draw up a
schedule and report at the next meeting.

It was decided to have the annual
outing August 10, and it was left to the
executive committee to make arrange-
ments. F. Adams gave an able talk
on leaf-mold, which is being produced
by Francis & Camerden, Quogue, L. I.
Mr. Adams was accorded a hearty vote
of thanks. Eugene Moquin, of Roslyn,
was elected to active membership. The
society's prizes for August will be for

and twelve gladioli. Mr. Ingram's
prize will be for four vases of asters,
white, pink, blue and rose.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

A WELCOME TO BALTIMOBE.

From Vice-President Vincent.

Fellow members of the S. A. F.: In
a short time from now our city will
open to receive you as our guests, com-
ing here from far and near to the
twenty-seventh annual convention of
the society, and we stand ready to ex-
tend the right hand of fellowship to one
and all.

We hope that none will miss this
opportunity to be here to renew old
friendships and make new friends. We
firmly believe our society is growing,
and the indications are that this will
be one of the best meetings and the
largest trade exhibit that the society
has ever had. So come one, come all,
and let us have the pleasure of wel-
coming you in this our beloved city of
Baltimore, and when we extend the
parting hand, may you return to your
homes well repaid for your visit and
with pleasant memories of the Balti-
more convention.

The different committees have worked
faithfully together, with the single
idea of making this meeting the most
successful in the history of the society.

The hotel accommodations will be
found ample and in equipment equal to
any in the country, and the rates are
reasonable, so that accommodations can
be obtained to suit everyone's taste,
from the costly to the more moderate.
A list of the hotels, with their charges,
is published in this issue of The Re-
view. William Feast, who is the head
of the hotel committee, will be more
than pleased to locate any one of you
as you may wish, if you will communi-
cate with him, addressing him at 331
North Charles street, Baltimore, Md.

A large amount of space has already
been taken in the Armory for exhibi-
tion purposes, but more good space is
still left, as we have one of the largest
and finest exhibition halls in the coun-
try, where everyone will be on an equal
footing, as all is on one floor.

The Armory also contains rooms for
the general meeting and committee
meetings, as well as rooms for rest,
comfort and convenience. Come and
take possession and everything we have
is yours for the time being.

Also try to bring some new member
with you, so that he or she may be
benefited and the society may increase
in strength and usefulness.

Eichard Vincent, Jr.

CONVENTION NOTES.

Although my two years' service as
secretary have been pleasant ones, I
wish to announce to my friends that I
will not be a candidate for reelection.
My duties at the university have in-
creased to such an extent that it will be
impossible for me to spare the time
necessary for the work of the S. A. F.
The duties connected with the office of
secretary are rapidly increasing, and
the time is approaching when the secre-
tary will be compelled to devote alfWs
time to the interests of the society.
Knowing the importance of the position,
I feel that I shoijld make this state-
ment, in order that the members may

have enough time to think over the
situation and select a new candidate.

S. A. F. pins will be issued shortly to
all life and pioneer members, and to
those annual members who have paid
their dues for 1911. This pin will be
necessary for admission to the exhibi-
tion hall. '

The attention of florists should "be
called to the fact that to get the benefit
of the meetings, the exhibition and iihe
entertainments it will be necessary to
be a member of the S. A. F.

By order of the president, a meeting
of the executive board is hereby called
for 10 o'clock Tuesday, August 15, at
the Belvedere hotel, Baltimore, Md.
H. B. Dorner, Sec'y.

GETTING TOGETHEB.

One of the pleasantest features of
the S. A. F. convention is the getting
together in parties at the principal cen-
ters for the journey to the convention
city. Whenever these parties fore-
gather everyone who can do so always
is expected to join in. Here are the
routes of the principal parties for the
trip to Baltimore:

Twenty-third street. New York, at 11:50

S. A. F. POLITICS.

S. A. F. politics is warming up. It
is a healthy sign when so many men
seek to serve the society and the craft
in general.

Boston has at least one candidate
for the presidency, possibly two candi-
dates, while friends of E. Vincent, Jr.,
of White Marsh, Md., are interesting
themselves in his behalf.

Secretary Dorner announces that he
will not be a candidate for reelection
and there promises to be active com-
petition for the place and salary.

Louisville is keen for the convention
in 1912. Chicago will renew the invita-
tion extended last year.

SOCIETY OF AMEBICAM FLORISTS.

Incorporated by Act of Congress, March 4, 1901.

Officers for 1911: President. George Asmus, Chi-
cago; vice-president. R. Vincent, Jr.. White Marsh,
Bid.; secretary, H. B. Dorner, Urbana, 111.; treas-
urer, W. F. Kastlng, Buffalo, N. Y.

Annual convention, Baltimore, Md., August 15 to

RESULTS.

We give them. You get them.
We both have them.

Being a good collector is not all there
is to business success, but it is a large
part.

The rains and cool weather are .just
what the carnation growers needed for
the refilling of their benches.

The early asters have not given the
results the growers hoped, but those who
have been fortunate enough to get a
good cut have had a fine market.

The latest in greenhouse building is a
structure on wheels and a track, to be
rolled over stock previously planted in the
open. See Detroit news-letter in this
issue.

Not a few subscribers save thembelves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.

Reciprocity with Canada, under the
bill just signed by the President and
now to be adopted by the Canadian
parliament, will not broaden the market
for cut flowers or plants, as it leaves
the duty Just where it has been.

If you contemplate putting in a plant
for artificial refrigeration, for greenhouse
cooling room or retail store display case,
write to The Review about it. The per-
fection of small apparatus for these pur-
poses will soon make the florists inde-
pendent of the ice man.

A. F. J, Baub, of Indianapolis, secre-
tary of the American Carnation Society.
who is in charge of the Dorner Memorial
fund, states that contributions are coming
in nicely but that he * ' could handle them
faster. ' ' The plan is to erect a memorial
to the late Fred Dorner by popular sub-
scription, $2 from each subscriber.

SELUNG IS EASIEST.

If one's stock gives satisfaction, the

selling end of the business is easy.

Pansy seed selling faster than it is growing,
due to the advertisement In The Review; shall
have to reduce space for a while. — Wm. Toole
& Sons, Baraboo, Wis., July 17, 1911. ,

THE CANADIAN CONVENTION.

This year's convention of the Cana-
dian Horticultural Association, August
9 to 11, promises to be a still greater
success than any of its predecessors.
Being held in Ottawa, Canada's capital
city, so easy of access from New York
state, not a few American florists will
attend before going to Baltimore.

The trade exhibit will be somewhat
larger than ever before. In fact, the
Canadian convention will draw a few
exhibitors from Uncle Sam 's side of the
border line, who are cultivating the
Canucks' business.

Goods will be admitted into Canada
in bond and will remain in bond in the
exhibition hall, and there will be no
inconveniences resulting from crossing
the line.

Eeciprocal trade relations will, no
doubt, be discussed and the meeting
will be exceedingly interesting in this
connection. Wm. C. Hall, Sec'y.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

There has been comparatively little
change in the market conditions in the
last week. Business continued excel-
lent all through the week of July 17
to 22, Saturday giving the biggest day 's
business this market ever has done in
July. The present week opened with
an absence of city demand, due to the
rainy Sunday, but with an excellent
volume of shipping business. It ap-
pears that stock is as scarce all through
the central west as it is in Chicago,
and buyers are calling for more flowers
than this markefk. is able to supply.
There are flowers, but not always the
flowers the orders call for.

There has been a decrease in the sup-
ply of Beauties, and strictly first-class
long-stemmed stock is commanding a
premium. Most of the arrivals now
are cut from the young plants and
medium to short lengths predominate.
The same thing is true of all roses.
Most of the old plants are getting their
rest and the stock arriving is cut from
young plants, with the result that there
are many more short-stemmed flowers
than there are medium or long-stemmed
roses. Killarney continues to show ex-
cellent color. White Killarney has a
great deal of pink in it, and such
Kaiserin as come in are quickly taken
up. One seldom sees Bride. Not many
Richmond arrive and there is little call
for it. Maryland is selling well. It
is noted that Prince de ±sulgarie al-
ways brings reorders when shipped out
of town. Some stock of fair length is
being cut of this variety. Mrs. Ward
is showing some increase in length of
stem and also sells well.

Carnations are practically out of the
market. A few good whites still ar-
rive, but there are not nearly enough for
the demand. Asters are coming in
much more plentifully than a week
ago and average prices are lower. The
weather has been against the aster
crop. The flowers have been late, and
they have been poor. It is said by
many that they never have seen a July
in which such low grade asters brought
such first-class prices. This condition
promises to change rapidly now that we
havlB had a gooC rain with lower tem-
perature. Gladioli also have come in
much more abundantly and the prices
in this department, which heretofore
have been more than good, have taken

The Weekly Rorists' Review*

21

We have an enormous crop of

Mrs. Francis King and
America Gladioli.

There are just three varieties of Gladioli that the retailers really want — Mrs* Francis King
(red), Ameriea: (light pink), and Augusts (white)— the best of their colors. Our crop of these
now is on (the same stock you got of us last summer) and we can furnish these three varieties in
thousand lots.

We have these cut tight for shipping, so Retailers can carry them in stock without losing a single spike— it takes
several days for all the flowers to open.

KILLSRNEYS

You can't beat these anywhere.

We are handling a large cut of Killarneys grown especially for the
summer crop. Most of them run to medium and long stems, and you
know that the longer the stem the larger and finer the flower is. The Pink
Killarneys have the best color we ever have seen on summer roses. If you
are not using these roses, you ought to order some at once.

Specially strong^ on the 6c, 8c and 10c gprades.

BEAUTIES

Another fine crop just ready.

Year after year we have supplied the trade with the finest Beauties avail-
able in summer. Not only has the quality of our summer crop been excep-
tionally good, but our growers have been able to maintain a steady supply
—we have been able to furnish the best Beauties all the time. All lengths
of stem.

LILIES— LILIES

You can get here all the Lilies you need. We have a bi^ supply of fine
Auratum, Rubrum and Easter Lilies; these are just the thmg for funeral
work, also decorations.

Asters

Our Asters are coming stronger
every day. Good stock ready now.
We can meet your needs.

Valley

Order Valley of us and you will
draw on a never-failing source of
supply. We have the best grade.

another drop. The quality of the
gladioli also is much improved. The
bulk of the receipts are Mrs. King, Au-
gusta and America, the latter variety
being as yet none too plentiful. Thus
far there are scarcely any of the mixed
colors, the unnamed varieties that used
to constitute the bulk of the gladiolus
stock. Although the receipts have mul-
tiplied, gladioli still are selling well
for the season.

Easter lilies have gone to the short
side, after having been abundant ever
since Easter. Late in the day, it some-
times is impossible to find lilies for or-
ders. There has been an increase in
the receipts of auratums, and this ap-
pears to be the one flower that is not
doing as well as in other summers. Bu-
brums also are abundant. Few good

sweet peas are seen and Shasta daisies
are on the wane.

The call for green goods is light.
There are more than adequate supplies
in practically all lines. The exception
appears to be galax, on which a short-
age is predicted. *

The Picnic.

In spite of the rain the Chicago
Florists' Club had an attendance at its
annual picnic practically as large as it
ever has had when the day was pleas-
ant. But there were two ladies for ev-
ery man! The event was at Ehrhardt's
grove. Park Kidge. The rain was so
continuous that indoor entertainments
were relied upon until about 4 o'clock,
when the weather cleared suflSciently to
permit holding the outdoor contests.
The events were as follows:

Baseball game — Wholesalers, 17; Retailers, 11.
Girls' race, 6 years and under — L. Kohout,
first; H. Covert, second. ,

Boys' race, 6 years and under — L. Zecb, first;

F. Ottenbacber, second.

Girls' race, 12 years and under — H. Covert,
first; A. Gernenz, second.
Boys' race, 12 years and under — L. Zecb, first;

G. Ehrhardt, second.

Girts' race, 16 years and under — L. Kraus,

Fat men's race — Gernenz, first.

One hundred and fifty yard dash — J. Elnwech,

handle each of the details. That they
did their work well is shown by the
large attendance and the fact that there
was no financial loss in spite of the
rain.

Various Notes.

John Enders, of Poehlmann Bros. Co.,
says the out-ot-town buyers are in need
of frequent reminder that there is no
mail delivery in Chicago Sundays, ex-
cept special delivery letters. He says
every Monday morning brings them
orders intended for Sunday shipment.

Sunday 's rain, while it was disastrous
for the picnic, was a boon to the car-
nation growers, many of whom have
been waiting for a break in the weather
to start benching their young stock.

Weiland & Risch are busy redecorat-
ing their store.

John Kruchten says there has been
a good market for cat-tails, consider-
able quantities having been sold in the
last few weeks at from $1 per dozen to
50 cents per dozen.

Max Ringier, of Vaughan & Sperry, is
vacationing for a fortnight.

Henry Van Gelder came to the Percy
Jones store July 24, the first day he was
out of bed in a fortnight. He still
lacks strength.

A. I. Simmons is busy this week. He
is in charge of the commissary depart-
ment of the lake front army.

John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling
Co., has made three trips to McHenry,
HI., in the last ten days. His family
are vacationing there.

Emil Buettner, at Park Kidge, has
finished tearing down and replacing
with a larger structure the last of his

old houses. Boses are planted and car-
nation planting is going ahead rapidly
this week. He is trying only one new
rose this year, Pierson's Dark Pink
Killamey.

Frank A. Benthey, son of F. F. Benthey,
who formerly was foreman for Hoerber
Bros, and later for Crabb & Hunter, at
Eeeds Lake, Mich., has gone into busi-
ness for himself at Tipton, Ind., the
firm name being Briscoe & Benthey.

The new store of the Chicago Flower
Growers' Association is an exceedingly
busy place this week. The big new ice-
box, forty-five feet long and eight feet
deep, with ice space entirely overhead,
has been completed. Manager Otto W.

The Bising Eastern Market.

There are more flowers and more
business than a week ago. The in-
crease in stock is chiefly in asters and
in roses. The asters grade low, most
of the flowers being far below market
requirements. There have been days
when it was impossible to satisfy the
demand for asters of the better grades.
While roses are more plentiful, the in-
crease has not strengthened the ranks
of the quality; it is just as hard to
get fine stock as it was a week ago, and
fine stock is bringing good value. Car-
nations are almost out of sight. Gla-
dioli continue an important factor wheire
decorative flowers are desired. Easter
lilies are in excellent demand and fair
supply. There is no special call for
valley. Cattleyas are very, very scarce;
an order can be filled provided its pro-
portions are of moderate size. Golden
Glow chrysanthemums have been with
us for ten days. Small outdoor flowers
are not in as active demand as a week
ago, probably owing to the increase in
asters. Some sweet peas have come
from out of town. There is little de-
mand for greens.

The Big House.
Henry C. Geiger was in town one day
this week on a little matter of busi-
ness. Mr. Geiger is always busy, hav-
ing the thousand and one little details
of those immense floral factories at
Edgely and at North Wales under his

Geiger became enthusiastic, speaking
with the greatest pleasure of the prog-
ress that the roses are making.

"They are about so high," Mr.
Geiger said, indicating with his hand
a position a little above his hip, and
Mr. Geiger is a man of good stature.
"They were planted March 20 and we
have been cutting for a month. Many
of them are what we call trees, heavy
shoots as thick as your finger, that
when pinched produce four or five
good flowers. Most of them are going
to New York now, but some come to
Edward Reid in this city."

When asked about the varieties
planted in the house (they haa been
given in this column without the quan-
tities), Mr. Geiger said that the 70,000
roses were made up as follows: 25,000
Bride, 5,000 BrideJMnai«, 15,000 KiUar-
ney, 5,000 White Killaraey, 14,000
Bichmond and 6,000 My Maryland.

Speaking of the size of the big house,
172x700, Mr. Geiger said it was the
largest house in the world, containing
seven miles of beds, 120,400 square feet
of ground surface. W. H. Elliott has
a house at Madbury, N. H., 40x1,360,
that covers 54,400 square feet of ground
surface. There is a palm conservatory
in Kew Gardens, England, that con-
tains a greater amount of cubic air
space, but does not cover so much
ground surface.

The present plans at North Wales are
to put the two recently constructed
ends of the carnation houses in Beau-
ties by way of giving them a further
trial. Between 4,000 and 5,000 plants
will ,be benc^f^. The second largest
house, formerly devoted to Beauties,
will be planted' '^Vith carnations and
sweet peas. Many of the carnations
are now benched and looking well.

* Xavier E. Schmitt will address the
'Plorists' Club at Horticultural hall,
Broad street below Locust, Tuesday
evening, August 1. Mr. Schmitt 's long
experience at Horticultural hall in
Fairmount park has given him unusual
opportunity to study all that is best
in ornamental and decorative planting.

.Julius Wolff, Jr., and Mrs. Wolff
celebrated their silver wedding anni-
versary with a reception at the Hotel
Majestic July 21. About fifty persons
enjoyed a delightful repast. During
the evening the engagement of Mr.
Wolff's son, J. A. Wolff, was announced.
Easter lilies and lilies of the valley in
white enameled baskets were the table
decorations. Electrically lit white roses
formed the chief centerpiece, which
had a base of both lilies. The number
twenty-five, electrically formed, was a
prominent feature of the decoration.

Golden Glow chrysanthemums arrived
a week ago, too early to excite much
interest, bilt pleasing for variety's sake.

Joseph Josephs has moved easily
from the position as leader among the
strppt men to that of a prominent re-
tailer on an important thoroughfare.
His store is of good size and tastefully
arranged.

iSaiiiuel S. Pennock has given the sub-
ject of advertising the study that it
deserves. His work, which is on orig-
inal lines, has attracted attention
abroad as well as in this country.

John C. Gracey is enjoying his vaca-
tion at the seashore; at the wet or dry
place, did you say? At the dry one, of
course, i. e.. Ocean City, N. J.

J. Otto Thilow says that the work
of the fall show committees is pro-
gressing. To cover the preliminary
expenses, $1,000 will be required. This
amount can be raised. With it, the
hall and a good lot of exhibits, a suc-
cess is assured.

Maurice Fuld is on his vacation.

Israel Bosnosky is in town.

Mrs. J. Wolf Moore has won the re-
spectful admiration of her business
associates. It is an art to make those
with whom one meets in business go
their way rejoicing.

old rut. Everybody seems to be away
on a vacation and there is nothing do-
ing to create a demand for flowers, ex-
cept an occasional funeral, or a wed-
ding bunch.

A few Killarney, Bride, Kaiserin and
Bridesmaid are arriving from newly
planted stock and make up the assort-
ment of roses which is obtainable at
present. Select stock seems a little
scarce; consequently it is not diflBcult
to dispose of it. Carnations are not' so
plentiful at present, as nearly every-
one has cleaned all the old stock out
and outside stock is extremely scarce
in all varieties of flowers.

Outside asters have not done as well
.this year as they might, and it is sur-
prising to note how poorly the majority
of the geraniums look, while other
bedding plants, such as cannas, ver-
benas, petunias and salvias look fine.

Q.

PITTSBUEG.

The Market.

Asters and gladioli have made their
appearance, but are still shy of the de-
mand. Of other flowers, Beauties, lilies,
valley and a few good roses are about
all that are coming in.

The dry season has told on carnation
plants, and it is doubtful if there will
be enough to go around in this section.
Various Notes.

We are having most delightful
weather for the stay-at-homes. There
are few flowers and only a little busi-
ness, so no one worries and the ones
who can't get away are taking things
easy.

The Market.

The w eather has turned cooler at last,
aud the change, although radical in its
extremity, is nevertheless welcome. We
have gone through the hottest spell on
record here, somewhat tempered with
breezes, but no rain, and the drought
was beginning to do considerable dam-
age to carnations and field crops in
general. However, it rained July 23,
and now the thermometer is down to
•lO degrees.

Except for funeral work, a summer
quietness has settled down on business,
and it is well that such is the case, as
there are hardly any flowers to do busi-
ness with; practically no carnations or
roses, and few sweet peas, as all outdoor
stock was practically ruined by the hot
weather.

Prices, despite the dullness, remain
as last quoted. Carnation planting will
begin actively next week.

Various Notes.

R. Yonkers has just received a carload
of pipe, fittings, and a large Kroes-
<hell boiler to be used for heating the
new houses now being erected.

The Wealthy Avenue Floral Co is
building a two-story cement block com-
liination potting shed and boiler room,
;ind is also putting up a brick chimney
instead of the old style iron smoke-
stack, so long in use here.

The Grand Kapids Floral Co. is build-
ing a large barn of cement blocks, two
stories high, including a cement cellar
for storage purposes, starting bulbs,
etc. G. F. C.

This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the

development of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and
so helpful 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.

To be represented costs only 70 cents per week on a yearly order. This is for one-inch space.
Other spaces in proportion.

The Market.

A great scarcity of cut flowers was
felt in the market last week. The sup-
ply was far behind the demand and one
had to put his inventive powers into
action to suggest designs that were
made only partly of flowers, for the
funerals of the week. One enterprising
florist filled a number of jardinieres and
ferneries with medium sized table ferns
and filled in carnations, sweet p'eas and
rosebuds, wired on toothpicks, in the jars
of ferns. These jars were substituted
for cut flowers for all purposes, and
brought prices ranging from $1 up.
Gloxinias in fancy jars were also sub-
stituted for flowers. Business has kept
up fairly well for midsummer, but fu-
nerals helped a great deal to make up
the trade of last week.

Asters and gladioli are more plentiful
now; they are welcome, indeed, and are
useful in many ways. Carnations are
scarce, but the few that arrive are good
in quality for this time of the year and
bring a good price. Lilium auratum
and speciosum are also quite plentiful,
and the quality is good considering the
hot spell we have had. Garden flowers
are still scarce, notwithstanding the fact
that there were several good showers

last week. All gardens seem to have
suffered alike; even where they were
watered every day the intense heat
seems to have dried up the buds of most
plants. However, a week of cool
weather, with showers, is beginning to
show its good effect on both outdoor and
indoor stock. Boses are much improved.
Marylands are the favorite pink roses
at present. Short-stemmed Wards, with
firm, good colored blooms, are finding a
ready market, and are used a great deal
in contrast with heliotropes, cornflow-
ers and lavender sweet peas.

Geraniums and vincas are still selling
and it looks as if bedding plants would
be in demand all summer. Maidenhair
ferns in pots are also selling.

Various Notes.

touring in the west. They have been

The Market.

Business has been the heaviest, for
July, ever experienced in this locality
and, following a rather quiet June,
caught everyone unprepared for it. This
resulted in nearly as much business be-
ing turned away as was taken care of.
Much stock was shipped in, but this was
uncertain of arrival and could not be
depended on.

Various Notes.

Chapin Bros, have commenced the
erection of a three-story building at the
southeast corner of Fourteenth and 0
streets, which is one of the best loca-
tions in town. The building will be oc-
cupied by the Chapin store and the Lin-
coln Gas Co.

Frey & Frey have commenced cutting
roses from their four new houses, con-
taining 8,000 plants. This will add
greatly to their cut during the coming

AHBBICAN SEED TBADB ASSOCIATIUN.

Pres., Ijeonard H. Vaughan. Chicago: First Vlce-
Pree.. M. H. Duryea, New York City; Sec'y and
Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

Chicago, Louisville and CStilKcottie all
report short onion set crops. This should
tone things up.

Keports from the Michigan growers
confirm the general opinion that the pres-
ent is not good bean weather.

Louisville reports the onion set har-
vest about finished and the product the
smallest in quantity for several years.

Babteldes Seed Co., Lawrence, Kan.,
report that they have never had such a
trade in seeds for late planting as now.

Judging from reports to date, the
1911 pea crop will be short enough to
vouch for the efficiency of the most pessi-
mistic estimator.

The early varieties of sweet corn are
reported short, with the chances for the
late sorts to do fairly well if seasonable
weather and rains prevail.

The veteran grower remarks that it
should be borne in mind that the losers
in a short crop year are not they who
get the pro rata of delivery.

If the onion set, with the chance it
has, does not redeem itself this season for
the misconduct of last year, its friends
will lose confidence in it completely.

Alaska peas so far threshed are re-
ported as returning not more than three-
fold on the average. Crops of the popu-
lar early wrinkled sorts, naturally are
returning less.

A. Sluis, son of Yoost Sluis, of Sluis
Bros., seed growers at Enkhuizen, Hol-
land, is visiting a brother who is in the
seed business at Chicago. In the course
of the next few weeks he will call on the
trade on his way back to New York.

Wholesalers report turnip seed in
good demand during the last two weeks.
Other seasonable seeds have also been go-
ing out in good shape. Bains in sections
where the previous dry weather had «hut
things off have helped to put a little life
into the market.

CUCOUMBER,. squash and other vine
seeds are differently reported from the
different sections. Conditions of weather
at one point make prospects bright, while
the outlook at another place just reverses
things. Later reports are needed to
give anything definite.

The onion set harvest at Chicago is
well under way and the product is of
excellent quality, but the quantity that
comes from a given acreage is small,
compared with normal years. Some of
the growers are hoping that the unhar-
vested pieces will pan out stronger than
the pieces so far harvested, but there
seems little reason to base this hope on.

Marius Kirkeby, of the Kirkeby &
Gundestrup Seed Co., Chicago, has retired
from active participation in the business
and is spending the summer in Europe.
He is expected to return in September
and it is rumored that he will then en-
gage in the commission business on South
Water street. Mr. Gundestrup is now fill-
ing the offices of both president and
treasurer and says that their onion set
crops will average up quite well, although

the acreage is about one-third less than
last year.

Visited New York: L. B. Schulte,
of Beichardt & Schulte Co., Houston,
Tex.

Almost the whole of Europe is having
a hot wave, similar to that which alarmed
seed growers in this country a few weeks
ago.

The seed trade will be interested in
the illustrated account of the sweet pea
show in England on another page of this
issue.

Aethub G. Lee, Fort Smith, Ark., says
the demand for seeds in western Arkansas
and Oklahoma has been unprecedented
for July.

The Eudy-Patrick Seed Co., Kansas
City, has been incorporated, with $40,000
authorized capital stock, by Prank Rudy,
Howard S. Patrick and John W. Miller.

CANADIAN KECIPBOCITY.

The United States has at length
adopted the Canadian reciprocity bill,
but it will not go into effect until after
the Canadian Parliament adopts it.
The seed paragraph is as follows, un-
der the heading of "Reciprocal Free
List":

"Seeds: Flaxseed or linseed, cotton
seed, and other oil seeds; grass seed,
including timothy and clover seed; gar-
den, field and other seed not herein
otherwise provided for, when in pack-
ages weighing over onb pound each (not
including flower seeds)."

The principal item of seeds that this
will admit free into the United States
when grown in Canada is peas. "What
seeds we sell to Canada is shown by the
following figures for the year ended

POSITION OF DISCLAIMEB.

The need for a change in the letter-
head position of the disclaimer was first
called to the attention of the seed trade
through the publication of the follow-
ing note in this column July 28, 1910:

An attorney whose specialty is commercial law
states that no part of what may be printed on a
letter-head is a part of a contract unless it be
between the date line and the signature, except
a reference appears between those parts to prac-
tically bring the outside words within the body

This was the subject of considerable

stationery on which the disclaimer ap-
pears just below where the typewriter
puts the words "Dear Sirs."

President Page, in his annual ad-
dress to the Seed Trade Association at
the Marblehead convention, referred
to the importance of this point and
there was a general discussion of it,
with the result that a committee con-
sisting of Curtis Nye Smith, attorney
for the association; Kirby B. "White,
of D. M. Ferry & Co., and S. F. Leon-
ard, of Leonard Seed Co., was ap-
pointed to consider and report direct
to the members through Secretary Ken-
del on the need for the general adop-
tion of the new position for the dis-
claimer.

That other trades are adopting the
conspicuous position for the disclaimer
and statement of business terms is
shown by the accompanying photo-
grapic reproduction of a coal dealers'
letter-head which reached The Review
"l*st week.

ESSEX SEED CBOFS.

In Essex, that great seed growing
center in England, the crops hold out
fair promise for the harvest. There
was dry weather early in the season,
followed by unusual heat in July, but
sweet peas in particular appear to have
profited by the conditions, and the crop
will be the best for several years. The
acreage of cabbage, an important crop,
is less than it usually is, and the av-
erage yield per plant will be light. No
more than a light crop of beet is ex-
pected, with average crops of turnips.
Parsnips promise only a light crop and
the seed is in demand, consequent upon
a shortage in other sections. Parsley
and carrot also will be below require-
ments and are being held at stiff prices.
Of radish not more than three-fourths
of a full crop is expected. Peas ripened

KING'S VIEW OF U. S.

E. W. King, head of the well known
seed growing firm at Coggeshall, Essex,
England, recently made a trip to
America, and the following paragraphs
are culled from his account of his trip:

"For the progress of one's business,
I have found traveling most essential,
and being so intently interested in
sweet peas, decided to go to California,
and see for myself the methods adopted
by the growers there. I was rather sur-
prised to hear from the growers that
we were the first English wholesale
growers to inspect the crops in the
growing season. I may mention I had
a friend and companion with me, a well
known Essex seed grower, which made
tbe trip more enjoyable.

"On arrival at New York, I found
telegrams awaiting from W. Atlee Burpee
to give him a visit at his Fordhook
farm before starting across the conti-
nent of America. I spent a pleasant
time inspecting his elaborate trials. I
say elaborate, for I have never seen
such good and extensive trials of cab-
bages, onions, sweet peas, pansies, etc.,
as I did at Fordhook. The cabbage
trials alone covered three acres. Visit-
ing his establishment at Philadelphia
was another pleasure. Machinery of all
the lates types was to be seen, but
before passing on I was much struck
with the thoughtfulness Mr. Burpee has
for his employees; in addition to a
restaurant, one of the most pleasant
rooms in the building was devoted to
the comfort of his female assistants; it
was fitted up in fine style; after assist-
ants had partaken of lunch, there were
lounge chairs for them to rest on, books
and periodicals to read, and a smoke
room for the men. Of all the establish-
ments I have visited I have never seen
the welfare of the assistants looked
after better than I did at W. Atlee
Burpee 's.

"Arrived at Los Angeles I first
visited the growers of that district.
The soil being light, found they had to

Initiative, not precedent,
makes the Buccessful man of

is the man who knows today

up of dreaming and action —
separate these and the first
becomes futility, and the
second, labor. Initia,tive is
what you want — do things,
let the other fellow follow.
Every grower in this country
who retails his products
should have cold storage

plant them soon. The whole-

care of the followers, who
come tumbling after and

two inches below the surface. The
grpwers make every effort to retain
that moisture till July by keeping the
surface soil in fine condition. In sum-
mer the breezes swing like a pendulum
between ocean and mountains, keeping
the temperature pleasant. The soil and
climate of the valleys are perfectly
adapted for seed growing, and we were
much surprised to hear that good crops
can be produced year after year with-
out any manure, whereas we English
growers have to spend £3 to £5 per
acre on manure for a seed crop. * Rojits
are much dearer, and we were also sur-
prised to hear labor was considerably
more expensive than in England and
the continent of Europe. Most of the
work is done by Chinese, Japs and
Mexicans, who are able to command 7
to 8 shillings per day; wages are a
heavy item with the growers. On most
farms we found the foreman to be a
chinaman; they are considered most
trustworthy and preferred to Japs.

"The well known Chinaman, Henry
Ohn, was away in China, having taken
a year's leave, so did not have pleasure
in meeting him, but I met Lock, syi-
other noted Chinaman, who appeared^
practical in selection and roguing, hav-
ing a sharp eye for colors, etc. I was
surprised to hear that head Chinamen
on the ranches get £10 to £15 a month.
With labor so high it is important for
growers to grow in large breadths, and
doubtless it will not pay them to go
in for crossing and growing on from
single plants to get a new variety.

"The acreage of sweet peas was
larger than I expected, and many will
be surprised to hear that one grower
has over 500 acres of sweet peas alone,
in addition to other seeds. Owing to
late rains, a large acreage got planted
late and will not produce the crop
equal to early sowing. I was much sur-
prised to find several acres of what I
call obsolete varieties, such as Kathleen
Tracey, ILon. F. Bouverie, Lovely, Fire-
fly, Queen of England, Brilliant, etc.,
when the same color can be had in
newer varieties with size twice as large.
For instance, why Queen of England,
when Dorothy Eckford is the finest and
largest white of the grandifloras; also
Mars, when King Edward is a much
finer bloom? In mixtures, I came across
a large acreage containing mostly old
varieties; Blanche Ferry was promi-
nent.

CYCLAMEN

For the last 15 years we have selected three- fourths of our seed
bearing Cyclamen stock before Xmas, to assure early blooming
1)1 ants, and claim the finest commercial strain in this country ; no
lizzie of many so-called English varieties. Our aim, is strong
growers, that don't have to be petted to be grown into a choice
salable plant— a well built, five petaled flower (many of them at
one time), with well marked foliage; every plant an ideal, a prize-
winner. Received first and second prizes at the Toledo Florists'
Club meeting early in November, when blooming Cyclamens were
scarce. Seed of this, my own grown strain, in five separate colors,

We offer a selected and carefully grown stock of the original pure Harrisii. There are only one or two lots »f

found to be very superior to the average stock that is generally off'ered. This is one of the healthiest and cleanest lots,
and will give much better satisfaction than the stock neually obtainable. Our customers who had Harrisii from us
last year stated it was the best they had received in y«»ar8. We have only a limited stock, which we are offering, and
when stock is exhausted we shall have no more to offer this season. Fine selected bulbs, 6/7-inrh, 350 to the case^

stocks varied very much. I told sev-

they cannot keep stocks too true.

"I have been much impressed with

among seedsmen, but also the seed
growers of America. There is not that
jealous feeling that there is in England

America, and I was fortunate in having
the pleasant company of Mr. and Mrs.
W. Atlee Burpee and two sons, who are
visiting the growers of Europe, and
hope they will have as pleasant a time
as we had in America. Though we saw
some mighty smart things in America,
one of the smartest was, about two
hours after leaving New York, to see
an aeroplane flying towards the Olym-
pic, and after hovering over her drop
H parcel for Mr. Burpee, he having sent
a Marconigram that he had left an im-
portant article in New York. It was
safely delivered and the event caused
great excitement on board."

FLORISTS'

BOX

Universally used for
shipping cut flowers and
designs. The dead-air
cells form a perfect non-
conductor of heat and
cold, thus preserving con-
tents much longer than
ordinary wood box.

H. & D. Florists' Box
can be used several times.
Is much lighter than the
ordinary box, thus saving
in express charges.

viUe, O.; VIce-pres., W. H. Wyman. North Abini^ton,
Maes.; Sec'y, John Hall, Rochester, N. Y.: Treas.,
O. L. Yates, Rochester, N. Y. Thirty-seventh annual
meeting, Boston, June, 1912.

The Wolverine Cooperative Nursery
Co., of Paw Paw, Mich., held a special
meeting June 26, which not only the
stockholders, but the farmers and busi-
ness men of the vicinity, were invited to
attend. One of the projects considered
was the establishment of a general mar-
ket for all kinds of produce.

The Canadian Department of Agricul-
ture has issued a bulletin containing
"The Destructive Insect and Pest Act"
and the regulations issued thereunder.
The law, assented to May 4, 1910, pro-
hibits the importation of nursery stock,
except through certain designated ports
at designated seasons, and the regulations
promulgated for the enforcement of the
act provide for the fumigation of the
stock in the fumigation houses provided
for that purpose, after which certificates
are issued, without which no imported
nursery stock may be taken out of bond.
Nurserymen exporting to Canada should
send to the Hon. Sydney A. Fisher, Min-
ister of Agriculture, Ottawa, Can., for a
copy of the bulletin.

CANADIAN EECIPEOCITY.

The United States has done its part,
at last, in the adoption of the Canadian
reciprocity bill, but the bill will not go
into effect until the Canadian Parlia-
ment adopts it.

The bill contains two paragraphs re-
lating to nursery products, the idea
being that the duties proposed shall be
identical in the two countries. They
are as follows:

* * Grapevines, gooseberry, raspberry
and currant bushes, seventeen and one-
half per centum ad valorem."

•'Trees: Apple, cherry, peach, pear,
plum and quince, of all kinds, and small
peach trees known as June buds, two
and one-half cents each."

Under the existing laws Canada
levies on grapevines, gooseberry, rasp-
berry and currant bushes' a duty of
twenty per cent, while the United
States duty is twenty-five per cent.
Therefore our reduction is thirty per
cent as against twelve per cent reduc-
tion to be made by Canada,

On apple, peach, cherry, pear, plum
and quince, the Canadian duty now is
3 cents each, while the United States
duty is $1 per thousand, $2 per thou-
sand, or twenty-five per cent ad valo-

I am sending under separate cover a
piece of pine which is infested with
white fly. Please let me know how to
kill the insects. E. L.

The pine shoot forwarded was covered
with a species of white aphis which in
hot, dry seasons is particularly trou-
blesome on some species of pines and
spruces, the stems often being perfectly
white with it. If your trees are of
large size, it will be difficult to destroy
the pests, unless you have a spraying
pump. All the aphides must be sprayed,

MentlOD The Review when yoa write

and it is necessary to hit them with
any solution used to destroy them. For
small and medium sized trees an ordi-
nary force pump or knapsack sprayer
will answer well, but a more powerful
pump is necessary to reach trees thirty
to seventy-five feet high. Use kerosene
emulsion, Whale Oil soap or Ivory soap,
one pound to five gallons of water, or
any of the nicotine extracts, diluted as
per directions on boxes or cans. Poi-
sons of any kind are of no value. Use
a nozzle, such as the Vermorel or Bor-
deaux, to produce a fine, misty spray.

pletely and the leaves are dropping off
after drying up. Would the extreme
heat cause this? F. M. R.

The leaves appear to be those of Ca-
talpa Bungei, which is frequently grown
in standard umbrella shape. Intense
heat, running up to 100 degrees in the
shade, often causes foliage to turb
brown and fall off in this way, particu-
larly if it comes after a comparatively
cool spell. Probably, however, the tree
will make new foliage and not be lost.
Keep the soil well stirred, and if all the
foliage disappears head the shoots back
a little. This will assist in starting new
growth. A soaking of water will also
be of benefit if the weather should be
dry. C. W.

What do you think will be the best
method and time? Some tell me to first
cut the tap root off, but I do not know
when I should do that, and if it would
help any or not. I live in the northern
part of Iowa. B. T. D.

If the walnuts have not been trans-
planted since being raised, they are sure
to have long tap roots which must be
cut back when transplanting is done.
The best times to transplant are in late
fall— last half of October or first half
of November — and early spring, as soon
as the frost leaves the ground. I think
in your state the spring would be the
safest season to move the trees. The
tops may need heading back, too. You
can wait and see how the plants break
before doing this, but a pruning back
will insure a much greater percentage
of them growing. It is, of course, easy
to carry up a main lead again. C. W.

NAME OF TBEE.

I wish you would tell me the name of
the berries sent under separate cover
and also their use. They grow on large
trees like cherrjr trees. They call them
here wild cherries. B. T. D.

The name of the tree is Prunus Cera-
sus serotina, wild black cherry. The
fruit is rather too bitter to use pre-
served, but is used a good deal in mak-
ing cherry rum, which is valuable in
cases of dysentery. C. W.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

July 27. 1811.

PACIFIC COAST.

Albany, Ore. — Mrs. C. Blount, of
Sixth and Railroad streets, has retired
from the florists' trade.

Stockton, Cal. — Fred A. Potter is
planning to install a steam heating sys-
tem in his greenhouses on North Mon-
roe street.

Spokane, Wash. — John H. Starbird,
who owns five and one-half acres of
land near this city, is planning to cover
the whole tract with a range of green-
houses. He expects to begin work at
once in the erection of the first section
of the houses, so as to be able to place
some of his vegetables on the market
in the coming fall and winter.

Anacortes, Wash. — H. Hansen, who
for the last two years has been em-
ployed at the greenhouses of the H.
Harrington Co., at Vashon, Wash., has
returned to this town, where he for-
merly resided and where he owns a
10-acre garden tract. He will begin
business as a market gardener, with
poultry as a side line. The railroad
facilities are such as to furnish quick
and cheap delivery to the principal
Puget Sound markets.

POETLAND, OEE.

The Market.

Business is extremely quiet. The
summer resorts have practically drained
the city of the flower buying public;
therefore we must be contented with a
small margin of profit, as a consider-
able portion of the stock is consigned
to the rubbish heap. Sweet peas and
roses are showing the effects of the hot,
dry weather in their impaired keeping
qualities. The thermometer registered
97 degrees in the shade for several
days, which is altogether unusual for
this section. The quiet days afford an
opportunity to take inventory and to
repair and renovate the stores.

Various Notes.

E. A. Humfeld, of Kansas City, was
enthusiastic over the quality of flowers
here at this season, as compared with
stock in his home city.

Louis Goodfriend, representing Wer-
theimcr Bros., is calling on the local
trade.

There is rejoicing at the home of A.
W. Post on the arrival of a baby girl.

A. Hallet recently purchased prop-
erty at Seventy-ninth street and Forty-
fifth avenue, where he will erect addi-
tional glass and grow stock for the
wholesale market.

A. J. Clarke and James Forbes are
spending a few days in Seattle, having
gone over on the Commercial Club spe-
cial train to attend the Golden Pot-
latch.

D. Conser, of Scio, Ore., was in town
in the interest of the moss and green
business, which he is catering to ex-
tensively. E. E. C.

at this time, everything is of better
color and substance than usual. Busi-
ness, however, is extremely quiet. Up
to three weeks ago the funeral orders
took up most of the white and light
colored stock, t)ut since that time there
has been practically no demand for
these or colored stock, either. With
most of the buyers out of town there is
little doing in a social way and there is
likely to be quite a slump for a few
weeks yet. The buyers have such a
surfeit of blossoms to select from that
only extra fancy roses or similar flowers
move at all.

QBAND ISLAND, NEB.

E. Williams, known in the trade as
Williams the Florist, has three new
houses in process of construction. One
of them, 24x116, takes the place of
two old houses which he tore down;
another is 16x85, and the third, a lean-
to, is 10x85. Mr. Williams has closed
his downtown store for the summer
months. As this store was the first
place of the kind in the city, it was
well patronized, and the customers
greatly appreciated the convenience of
not having to go to the greenhouses
when in need of flowers. This season's
business, Mr. Williams says, has been
the best in his experience. Though the
dry weather in June interfered with
the planting of stock in the field, the
recent rains have put the plants in
fairly good condition. The carnations
have come through the drought in good
shape, with the help of the "dust
mulch" which was produced by keep-
ing the surface soil well stirred.

The florists of this vicinity are fig-
uring on a good display at the state
fair in the fall. The State Florists'
Society will also hold a meeting there
at the same time, as most of the mem-
bers attend the fair every year. With
the revised premium list, competition
this year will be keen.

The writer recently visited Kearney,
Neb., and found the plant of the Kear-
ney Floral Co., under the management
of H. L. Hunt, in excellent condition.
Mr. Hunt says trade is good, with a
scarcity of suitable stock on account
of replanting, which is the case gener-
ally.

Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Green, of Fre-
mont, Neb., spent two days here a
short time ago and reported that trade
was good in their town. Mr. Green is
doing some building and is installing a
larger boiler. E.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Jolt 27, 1911.

EBIE, FA.

'.yauJ* ^

The Market.

' V^rflh the temperature hovering around
99 degrees in the shade, outdoor flowers
have suffered some this season. It has
rained and is much cooler again and the
prospects are better. Koses are fair.
Carnations are small. Speciosum lilies
and sweet peas are good. Harrisii lilies
and gladioli are seen in quantities. The
supply is equal to the demand.

Various Notes.

Henry Baur, of Philadelphia, is the
guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Baur and
will remain in Erie about a month.

Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Phillips recently
spent several weeks in Pittsburg visit-
ing relatives and friends.

Bud Mars, the aviator, met with a
painful accident while flying here last
week and much sympathy was extended
him by Erie citizens, the florists being
kept busy.

There are many people of note at
present from Philadelphia, Cincinnati
and Indianapolis in connection with the
Perkins-Franklin case and there is an
extra large demand for flowers while
this case is on. B. P.

UTICA, N. Y.

Wm. P. Pfeifer has a stock of car-
nations that are the admiration of all
who see them. Plants with five strong
shoots are rather rare this season, ow-
ing to the drought, but almost every
plant here can show that number. They
will not be lifted until late.

Frank Baker prides himself on hav-
ing the finest stock of small ferns that
he has had for some time. He was vis-
ited by some of the craft during the
hot spell and invited to head the party
for the convention at Baltimore. Mrs.
Baker served some of the lemonade
that has made her famous. Harry
Mathews expects to be with the crowd
and do a little shooting at the same
time; he has a splendid dog, which
will accompany him. "Doc" Row-
lands says he will be with the crowd
and expects to have everything planted
by that time.

Brant Bros, have a constant call for
Killarney and Maryland.

Peter Crowe says Adiantum Crowea-
num was never in better shape and he
has shipped immense quantities both
of the plants and cut fronds. M.

Salt Lake City, Utah.— F. A. Huish
has purchased property at the corner of
First South and Second West streets
and will build a greenhouse there.

The Weekly Florists' Review. j"^^ 27, 1911.

KANSAS CITY, 'MO.

^ I The Market.

Stock has been scarce. Eoses and
(Sfcrtiations are scarce and small. Few

ters or gladioli are yet to be seen.

e weather has been hot and dry.
eet peas are not plentiful and their
slems are short. The downtoWb Iflk^res
are not making much of a display in
their windows at present. '^^^

Various Notes.

]5. Freudenthal reports that good
stock is hard to get. He has been
looking for some good ferns for degora-
tk>i|s, but failed to find any.
^^muel Murray had a pretty show
inflow last week, consisting of fancy
caladiums in abundance.

The Wm. Eock Flower Co. recently
bA^ an attractive window, representing
afi pond of water, with an overshot
^ter wheel running. The pond was
Imed with gravel and rough bark, and
a number of little ducks were swimming
in the water. The surroundings of the
water were so arranged as to give the
wnole scene the appearance of being
i^ the woods. Many spectators were
attracted to the window.

W. H. Sawvel has one large house in
chrysanthemums that are not excelled
by anything in this city. They are in
sdlid benches and were planted early.
His grower is trying to show this city
how to grow good mums. His rosee,
also, are doing exceptionally well.
They were planted in May in solid
behches. He has one large house al-
ready planted to carnations and is rush-
i^ the work in the other four houses.
H8 will house 35,000 plants. One house
will be planted to sweet peas. He is
now contracting for several thousand
lily bulbs. From the way his stock
looks, there is a good prospect for some
fine i^pck for this winter. Mr. Sawvel
was confined to his home for three
weeks with a broken knee cap. He is
now able to be up, but moves slowly
on crutches. W. H. H.

Burlington, Vt. — A range of green-
houses is being erected at the
University of Vermont, and will
be used jointly by the university
for instruction and by the experi-
ment station for investigation. The
biitldings will consist of a two-story
head house, 25x60, and three even-span
greenhouses, each 20x60. The green-
house at the experiment farm has been
in use about twenty years and will be
torn down. The material for the new
houses was furnished by the John C.
Moninger Co., of Chicago.

GERANIIMS

The steady increase in the demand for Greraniums is proving beyond a
doubt that they are the universal favorites with the flower buying public, that
they are today more popular than ever before ; in fact, the demand during
the past season nearly exhausted the available supply. We are increasing our
stock for propagation to the extent that we shall produce them in enormous
quantity next season, and feel confident that we shall be in a position to fill
your orders to your entire satisfaction, but would suggest that your order be
placed early. We have already booked heavily on some kinds. Good standard
sorts at $18.60 per 1000, from 2-inch pots.

Auburn, N. Y.— Alfred Patrick had
a close call when the storm visited his
plant recently. The only damage was
a few broken panes of glass, but it
looked at one time as if the whole

Greenhouse Heating.

It is reported that if the rate war
among the Pocahontas coal dealers in the
Chicago district continues a week or two
longer there will be a further 10-cent
reduction in the list price. Looks like a
good time to buy.

Subscribers are invited to write the
editor of the Heating Department, de-
scribing their troubles or asking any
questions regarding the heating of green-
houses, the piping or boiler-room. But
please do not ask us to make a choice of
apparatus for you. Each article adver-
tised in this department of The Review
is good, and the advertisers sell them on
their merits.

ONE KANSAS HOUSE.

I have a greenhouse, 24x80, and I
wish to install a heating system. I
have been advised to put in a st;3am
vacuum system. Would this be better
than hot water? I shall probably ex-
tend the plant. E. G. C.

For houses up to 200 feet in length,
where the boiler can be placed below
the level of the returns, many growers
prefer an open tank hot water system
to any other. Use one 2% -inch flow
for three 2-inch returns in each coil,
and use as many coils as are needed to
furnish the temperature desired. In
shorter houses a larger number of re-
turns can be supplied by a 2V^-inch
flow pipe, but care should be taken that
there is no more than 400 square feet
of radiating surface, including that of
the flow pipe.

About four coils, each consisting of
one 2V2-inch flow pipe and three 2-inch
returns, or three coils with four re-
turns, will heat a house 24x80 feet to
60 degrees.

HEATED BY A HOT AIE FLUE.

I am building a greenhouse, 12x25
feet and nine feet high to the ridge,
with 4-foot double walls. There are
two feet of glass in the south side and
the east end is glass. I wish to heat
it with a flue. What kind and size of
flue will be best and what size of fire-
box will be required! I want a tem-
perature of 55 to 60 degrees, with the
outside temperature sometimes as low
as 15 degrees below zero. The house
is fairly well protected from wind. The
location is New York state. J. E.

To heat a house 12x25 feet to 60
degrees by means of a hot air flue,
build a furnace at one end, about three
to four feet long, fifteen inches wide
and eighteen inches high inside, and
then run a brick flue, about 8x12
inches, from the furnace to the farther
end of the house. Care should be taken

for another house of the same size, if
we should wish to add it in the fu-
ture? The outside temperature here
seldom falls below zero. C. B.

It will be advisable to use two 2%-
inch flow pipes in each house, though
one 3-inch flow might be used over-
head. In addition to the -two flows,
there should be ten 2-iuch returns in
the carnation house and twelve in the
north house, for 60 degrees. The
boiler is probably large enough to
heat a third house to 50 degrees. A
3-inch connection for flows and returns
should answer for each house.

The house heated to 60 degrees will
be about right for roses, and a part
may be partitioned off as proposed.

have shown but little tendency to stiff-

be an advance if improvements in the
weather do not come in a few days.

Seldom at this season of the year has
there been such a demand for funeral
work, and there have been some days
when the florists have had to scratch
around pretty actively to obtain what
they wanted.

Club Meeting and Outing.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Ehode
Island was held Monday evening, July
17, at which there was a fair attend-
ance for this season of the year, with
President Bobert Johnston in the chair.
The matter of taking the usual summer
recess for two months was discussed,
and it was finally voted not to discon-
tinue the meetings.

The annual summer outing of the
club occurred Wednesday, July 19, and
those who went had twice the fun the
tickets cost them. The committee in
charge arranged a blind trip and this
had the effect of keeping several from
attending, but those who responded,
and there was a faithful dozen, assem-
bled at the city hall at 9 o'clock and
boarded an electric car for Pawtucket,
where a large motor boat was in wait-
ing. The party, with the commissary
department, were soon on board and the
boat headed down Narragansett Bay.
An hour's run brought the party to
Hope island, and here fishing was the
order. A pool was made up which was
to fall to the lot of the member catch-
ing the Arst fish. Hardly had the lines
struck the water than Jim Dillon be-
gan to pull in. He tugged until he
grew red in the face and some declared
that he either had a shark or was
hooked on the bottom of the bay. He
succeeded at length in bringing into
view what many term a "monkey"
fish, but what was, strictly speaking, a
skate. On the strength of this Mr. Dil-
lon claimed the pool, but as the skate
is not an edible fish, a dispute arose.
As the next claimant, however, could
only produce a chogset of less than
three inches in length, the award was
finally made to Mr. Dillon. Alec Ma-
crae was high liner, although there were
enough fish caught by the party for ev-
eryone to have a good mess.

After tiring of fishing the party pro-
ceeded to Bock Point, where a special
shore dinner was served and then
"Homeward bound" was the cry.
Those who attended included Bobert

Use Kroeschell Boilers and Kroeschell Generators and Piping

System; Satisfaction Guaranteed

The Kroeschell Generator purchased from you some time since is giving excellent satisfaction. It not
only adds to the capacity of the boiler on account of the increased circulation of the hot water, and
consequently less piping is required, but it also seems to maintain a steadier and more even tempera-
ture all over the houses where it is in use. For instance, the new house I have just completed, 43 ft. wide by
265 ft. long, and piped according to your instructions, is not varying more than two degrees all over the house
at any time, and I consider that remarkable for so large a house. Another advantage is that, where roses
are g^own, sulphur applied to the pipes for checkings mildew is much more effective.

A CEOP TJNDER THE BENCHES.

What will be the most profitable crop
to grow under benches that are from
three to five feet high? Our houses are
new and the ground is fresh and sweet.
The benches are five feet wide and 200
feet long. It seems to us that there
should be something profitable grown
under the benches. M. F. & V. C.

Do not figure on any profit coming
from under the benches. It will aver-
age you nothing above the trouble and
nuisance. I have grown mushrooms
under benches in carnation houses,
some rhubarb and parsley along the
edges and asparagus in warmer houses,
but I do not put any crop under the
benches now. I prefer to have the
heating pipes under them and thus get
more profit oflF the top of the benches.

Nothing will do well under benches
where the heating pipes are, if benches
of standard height are used. I have
noticed many growers who have tried
everything and have given it up as poor
business. There are times when it is
convenient, if temporarily crowded, to
put bulb flats and many other things
along the edge of the path, but it is no
place to leave them long. H. G.

An exceptionally high grade hose manufactured

The woven jacket constructwn makesa stronger
hose than can be obtained from cotton duck, and
absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening
at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on
cotton duck. ' This construction also gives a more
flexible hose and reduces the possibility of kinking. I
"Magic" Hose is guaranteed to stand a pressure
of 500 pounds per square inch, although its bursting ,
pressure is far in excess of this.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLOEISTS.

Department of Registration.

As no objections have been filed,
public notice is hereby given that the
registration of the rose Wilhelmina, by
Hoerber Bros., of Chicago, 111., becomes
complete. H. B. Dorner, Sec 'v.

July 13, 1911.

MONTGOMERY, ALA.

The extremely hot June has given
place to a cooler and more seasonable
July. In June we had twenty-six days
that were almost intolerable. At no
time during the day did the mercury
get below 90 degrees and it often touched
100 at the Government station situated
on the roof of the post-office, while 107
degrees was the street record. Under
such conditions it was difficult to make
much headway in planting in tho houses,
but by keeping everlastingly iit it suc-
cess was attained.

Carnations look fine. By the new sys-
tem of careful selection of cuttings and
close attention, Paterson has jtlanted
22,000 with scarcely any loss, :tnd cer-
tainly finer stock was never seen in this
section of the country. Roses look good
and are far ahead of this period last
year. Business continues good, but is
mostly funeral work, the larger part
being out-of-town orders. The slug that
attacks ferns has made its appearance
again and threatens serious damage, al-
though the entire stock of the Paterson
greenhouses has been removed to the
eitj' greenhouses and a careful watch
kept for the butterfly that lays the eggs
that produces the grubs, which are not
as numerous as at the greenhouses
proper.

Roses in the open ground look fine,
considering the long dry spell, and now
that the rainy season has set in will
improve. We can get a larger and finer
growth here in one season than can be
produced in the north in two. Paterson
contemplates building this fall and win-
ter six houses, 30x150, at the country
place, for carnations, giving the present
carnation range at the home place over
to roses and taking the present rose
range for pot plants. They intend go-
ing in heavily for palms, and will de-
vote one entire house to orchids.

Harry Von Trott is removing his en-
tire plant, purchased from S. B. Stern
& Co., farther out in the country, and
has renamed his place the Morning
View Greenhouses. W. C. C.

DENVER.

The Market.

There is little change in market con-
ditions. Good carnations continue to
be scarce and are cleaned up early in
the day. Red roses are not to be had
at all and white are almost as hard to
get, although the growers are beginning
to cut a few from the new plants. A few
asters are seen, and also some dahlias.
Sweet peas are hardly up to the mark
this year; they are inclined to drop oflf
quickly. Centaureas, snapdragons and
gypsophilas have been shown to advan-
tage in some of the shop windows, and
in a measure have been the means of
getting the consent of a few customers
to use these flowers in funeral designs,
rather than the regulation carnations
and roses, which are scarce.

Various Notes.

George H. Cooper has secured a lease
OB the store at 1506 Broadway, hereto-
fore occupied by the Scott-Martin Floral
00. He has purchased their stock and
fixtures, and will conduct a first-class
fiower store at this address, with F. B.
Tinker in charge. His store at 833
Fifteenth street will be conducted as
heretofore.

N". A. Benson has gone to the Gunni-
son river on a fishing trip.

At the National Real Estate Conven-
tion, held last week, about 15,000 colum-
bines, the state flower of Colorado, were
distributed among the visitors. These
flowers were sent to Denver from the
cool mountain towns, where they bloom
later than here.

The new store of Harry J. Berry, at
613 Fifteenth street, is quite attractive.
Mr. Berry does not believe in "bar-
room effects" in a flower store, and in
place of a counter, with a mirror back
of it, he has several tables about the
room on which to display his stock.

The flower stand at the corner of Fif-
teenth and Lawrence streets, conducted
by Thomas McDonald, has been closed.
The location is an excellent one, but the
extremely high rent makes it almost
impossible for a florist to make any
money. M. R. J.

Dallas.

Eldora, la. — J. M. Pierce, of Des
Moines, who has been associated with
John Polland in the Polland Floral Co.,
has purchased Mr. Polland 's interest
in the business and will engage a man-
ager to take Mr. Polland 's place at
the greenhouses. At last report Mr.
Polland had several business openings
under consideration, but was still un-
certain as to his future course. Mr.
Pierce is publisher of the Pierce

j THE RETAIL

I -^&^ FLORIST

WHAT THE ACCESSOEIBS MEAN.

Have you ever realized that your
customer takes you as you appear, and
by what you put before himt

Do you realize that an appropriate
suggestion in a finished way, put into
action, counts for more than argument?

If your suggestion makes a favor-
able impression, then you realize that
any arg^uments or explanations would
create confidence, more than would
have been the case had the first im-
pression been unfavorable.

Now, it is plainly to be seen and un-
derstood that every purchaser judges,
and judges well, as you do as a pur-
chaser. The flower buyer not only
judges you, but your suggestion and
then your finished work. Therefore
we must remember that ' ' appearances
make lasting impressions, from which
opinions are formed." Impressions
that are satisfying always bring good
returns. S. S.

THE FETTERS AXJTOMOBHJ!.

E. A. Fetters, the Detroit retailer,
uses a delivery auto made by the Oliver
Motor Car Co. The car has already
covered many thousands of miles and,
although Mr. Fetters was at first some-
what skeptical about changing from
horse to automobile delivery, he has
often wondered since how he ever was
able to get out his orders before. Re-
cently a whole automobile load of
funeral work was delivered to Algonac,
Mich., a distance of about 115 miles
round trip from Detroit, over bad roads,
in the course of an afternoon. The
car is equipped with solid tires. H. S.

A FEW SUMMER WINDOWS.

Seasonable Outdoor Scenes.

While it is true that there is less
to encourage one to keep up his stand-
ard of tasteful window exhibits during
the summer, it is also to be remembered
that material is more plentiful, more
time is at command and a larger vari-
ety tempts to new efforts during this
season. Let the summer windows smack
of outdoor scenes, of cool retreats, with
now and then a glimpse of water.

Let some one flower be the principal
exhibit sometime during the height of
its season. With it use, as an acces-
sory, some other flower which is har-
monious, both as to color and style.
The amount of the accessory flower
should be less in bulk than the principal
flower to be shown. Never allow one
flower to rival another in brilliancy,
quantity or prominence of place in
the design. At this time" the design is
the window decoration. Neither should
different colors of the same flower
which may be used at the same time be
allowed to so rival each other, even
though the colors may be harmonious.
Let one pronounced color hold the place
and all others be subordinate in tone
and quantity.

Again, let us bear in mind that foli-
age plays a prominent part in a floral
scheme, and it is just as easy to spoil
a fine color effect by the introduction
of the wrong foliage as by a discordant
note in floral color.

Salvia in a Harvest Field.

The likeness in form of salvia and
wheat, together with the color har-
mony^ makes a seasonable and pleasing
combination for a window decoration.
Of course, provide more of the salvia —
not necessarily more in quantity, but at
least in effectiveness. Lay on a back-
ground of loose wheat over the floor.
Damaged sheaves of bleached wheat
may be cut and so scattered, or the
native ripe wheat may be used. Set
the long sprays of the salvia in several
wide vessels, using Japanese holders or
wire frames to hold the stalks apart as
they appear when growing. Use wheat
in with the salvia, as if it, too, were
growing among the salvia, but in lim-
ited quantities. Close around the ves-
sels of salvia rake more loose wheat,
making the cluster of salvia look like
a patch left standing in the harvest
field.

A little behind, or at some other con-
venient distance, set a high dish, full

or in various other designs for elderly
people.

Petunias and White Drapery.

Petunias are often to be had in quan-
tity and ought to make a good window
decoration. The value of the decora-
tion will depend somewhat upon the
choice of accessory flowers, with per-
haps some soft drapery, such as white
silk. Upon a pole that extends acrpss
the middle of the window lengthwise
may hang two curtains of the white
silk, one draped toward either side.
Mass the petunias solidly behind the
curtain and in front. In Kift vases,
suspended by violet cord from the cur-
tain pole at regular intervals against
the drapery, arrange two or three choice
blooms to a vase. Have the arrange-
ment alike in all the vases. !Pive or
six vases to a curtain would probably
be enough. The finished design should
resemble a conventional decoration on
the silk. In this decoration the pe-
tunias should be fine specimens of dou-
ble crimson-purple or the purple and
white varieties. The floor groups in
the decoration might be benefited by
the addition of some white day lilies.

Hydrangeas with Farleyense.

Whatever other uses may be thought
fit for the majestic Adiantum Farley-
ense, it shines with Hydrangea panicu-
lata. A window which shall hold but
one immense bunch or basket of these
flowers, with their own foliage and a
generous allowance of Farleyense
fronds, with a train of autumn-shaded
ribbon in salmon, yellow and green,
makes a creditable decoration. Add a
suggestion of salmon pink in a clump
of phlox just where the sight fails to
detect anything definite in the rear. A

of the salvia, arranged as the first ones.
Bind wheat around it and tie with a
sheath of cocoa fiber, bark, a frayed
Porto Eico mat, or an immense bunch
of fiber ribbon. Continue to strew loose
wheat throughout the window. Finish
at the rear with a group of naturally
placed ferns. The wheat can be used
afterward in trimming baskets, or for
home-coming dinners, Thanksgiving
decorations, as ties for casket sprays

ground of oak leaves will make a good
setting for this decoration.

For a window of marked contrasts
have a decoration of single scarlet ge-
raniums and Shasta daisies, the gera-
niums being the principal flower. The
most brilliant scarlet which betrays
yellow blood will be found the best
with the yellow of the daisy centers.
Something of a more formal design may
be attempted with the geraniums in a

WHAT THE ACCESSORIES MEAN.

Have you ever roalized that your
customer takes you as you appear, and
by what you put before him'?

Do you realize that an appropriate
suggestion in a finished way, put into
action, counts for more than argument?

If your suggestion makes a favor-
able impression, then you realize that
any arguments or explanations would
create confidence, more than would
have been the case had the first im-
pression been unfavorable.

Now, it is plainly to be seen and un-
derstood that every j)urchaser judges,
and judges well, as you do as a pur-
(diaser. The llower buyer not only
judges you, but your suggestion and
then your finisluMl work. Tlierefore
we must remembor that "appearances
make lasting impression;-, from which
opinions are formed." Impressions
that are satisfying always bring good
returns. " S. S.

THE FETTERS AUTOMOBILE.

]•'. A. Fetters, the Detroit retailer,
uses a delivery auto made by the Oliver
JNIotor Car Co. The car has already
covered many thousands of miles and,
although Mr. Fetters was at first some-
what skeptical al)out changing from
horse to automobile delivery, lie has
often wondered since how he ever was
able to get out his ord(>rs before. Re
i-ently a whole automobile load of
funeral work was delivi'rcil to Algonac,
IMi(di., a distance of aliout 11.") miles
round trip from Detroit, over bad roads,
in the c<)urse of an afternoon. The
car is equip])ed with solid tires. JI. R.

A FEW SUMMER WINDOWS.

Seasonable Outdoor Scenes.

While it is true that there is less
to encourage one to keep up his stand-
ard of tasteful window (>\iiibits during
the summer, it is also to l)e remembered
that material is more ])lentifu]. more
time is at command and a larger vari-
ety tempts to new efforts (hiring this
season. Let the summer windows smack
of outdoor scenes, of cool retreats, with
now and then a glinijise of water.

Let some one ilower be the principal
exhibit sometime during the height of
its season. With it use. as an acces-
sory, some other llower which is har-
monious, both as to color and style.
The amount of tlic^ accessory flower
should be less in bulk lliaii the principal
flower to be shown. Never allow one
llower to rival another in brilliancy,
tpiantity or promiiuMice of jdace in
the design. At this time the design is
the window decoration. Xeithor should
difTerent colors of the same flower
which may be used at the same tinie be
allowed to so rival each other, even
though the colors may be liarmonious.
liot one pronounced color hold the place
and all others be subordinate in tone
and quantity.

Again, let us bear in mind that foli-
age plays a prominent part in a floral
scheme, and it is just as easy to spoil
a fine color effect by the introduction
of the wrong foliage as by a discordant
note in floral color.

Salvia in a Harvest Field.

The likeness in form of salvia and
wheat, together with the color har-
mony, makes a seasonable and pleasing
combination for a window decoration.
Of course, provide more of tlie salvia —
not necessarily more in quantity, but at
least in effectiveness. Lay on a back-
ground of loose wheat over the floor.
Damaged sheaves of Ideaclied wheat
nmy be cut and so scattered, or the
native ripe wheat may be used. Set
the long sjirays of the salvia in several
wide vessels, using .Japanese holders or
wire frames to hold the stalks apart as

Petunias and White Drapery.

I'l'tnnias are often to be had in quan-
tity and ought to make a good window
decoration. The value of the decora-
tion will depend somewhat upon the
choice of accessory flowers, with per-
hajjs some soft drapery, such as white
silk. Upon a pole that exteiula across
tlie middle of the window lengthwise
may hang two curtains of the whiU^
silk, one draped toward either side.
Mass the petunias solidly behind the
curtain and in front. In Kift vases,
suspended by violet cord from the cur-
tain pole at regular intervals against
the drapery, arrange two or three choice
blooms to a vase. Have the arrange-
ment alike in all the vases. Five or
six vases to a curtain would probably
be enough. The finished design should
resend)lo a conventional decoration on
the silk. In this decoration the pe-
tunias should be fine specimens of dou-
ble crimson-purple or the purple and
white varieties. The floor groups in
the decoration might be benefited by
the addition of some white day lilies.

Hydrangeas with Farleyense.

Wliatever other uses may be thought
fit for the nmjestic Ailiantum Farley-
ense, it shines with Hydrangea ])anicu-
lata. A window which shall hold but
one immense bunch or basket of thes(>
llowers, with their own foliag(> and a
generous allowance of Farleyense
fronds, with a train of autumn-shaded
ribbon in salmon, yellow and green,
makes a creditable decoration. Add a
suggestion of salmon pink in a chunp
of phlox just where the sight fails to
detect anvthing definite in the rear. A

of the salvia, arranged as the first ones.
Bind wheat around it and tie with a
sheath of cocoa fiber, bark, a frayed
Porto Rico mat, or an immense bunch
of fiber ribbon. Continue to strew loose
wheat throughout the window. Finish
;it the r(>ar with a group of naturally
jtlaced ferns. The wheat can be used
afterward in trimming baskets, or for
home coming dinners. Thanksgiving
decorations, as ties for casket sprays

ground of oak leaves will make a good
setting for this decoration.

A Colonial Scene, with Dahlias.

must needs be dignified and formal.

flanked at either side by the bays. Top
each column with a plant of ivy in a
white enameled basket. Range a group
of tall yellow and copper-colored dah-
lias about the base of each pillar. In
a flaring direction toward the front of
the window set a number of colonial
vases with the orange and yellow dah-
lias. From each vase to the floor drop
a single end of ribbon to match. A
tight, prim rosette may flnish the lower
end of the ribbon drape. For the pink
and crimson dahlias use the same de-
sign.

Another line of reds and yellows,
beautifully blended, may be found in
cannas. Each stalk will need a tall,
slender vase. Over the floor and the
base of each vase place a thick mat of
green moss, or sphagnum with a green
covering. Plant this closely with yel-
low pansies in bloom. Set in cannas as
thickly as seems fit. A few aspidistras
may appear in the background, with a
group of palms at a disappearing corner.

Further suggestions on summer win-
dow displays will be given in a later
issue of The Review. Q. B.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

Feeding.

Early planted stock that has been
on the benches from eight to ten weeks
will be greatly benefited by a stimu-
lant. The soil is, or should be, full of
roots and the plants should be hungry
for food. An examination of the soil
will soon determine whether this is so
or not.

A light mulch of well decomposed
fertilizer, either horse or cow manure,
is beneficial at this time. It furnishes
a certain amount of nourishment, keeps
the soil uniformly moist and prevents
the surface roots from being burned up
by the sun, which is liable to happen
along the edges of the benches. Before
this fertilizer is used, a sprinkling of
bone flovir or horn shavings, applied to
the bed and lightly rubbed in, is also
good. I use the term "bone flour" be-
cause it must be of the finest possible
texture to be of any benefit to the
plants, as it will have only six or seven
weeks in which to work, and this is
entirely diflPerent from using bone on
a rose bed, wliere its gradual dissolu-
tion is of benefit all winter and spring.
Horn shavings, though not often used,
are valuable as a fertilizer. They aver-
age high, I believe, in nitrogen, the
principal element in plant life. Horn
shavings will decay readily under the
top-dressing of rotted manure.

This top-dressing should carry the
plants for a week or two, when liquid
fertilizer may be applied.

Tine Best Time to Feed.

It is an old saying, which has passed
current among mum growers for many
years, that the plants should not be fed
to any extent until after the bud has
set. Any up-to-date grower knows that
this is an absolute fallacy. It is really
far better to feed the plants well in
August, to induce them to make a
strong final growth and bud, than to
wait until after the bud has set and
then feed heavily after all growth is
stopped, as the plants at that time will
not be in such good condition to take
up the food. Heavy applications of
food late in the season are also bad
for the flower, making it soft and much

more liable to damping than it other-
wise would be.

These notes on feeding do not con-
cern the commercial grower, perhaps,
to any great extent. As a general rule
he makes the compost fairly rich and,
aside from a light top-dressing, the
plants are left to finish as best they
can. It is a different matter, however,
with the exhibitor, who must feed, and
feed heavily, if he is going to get the
best of his competitor.

If the plants have been grown in
pots they will, of course, need a great
deal more feeding than the same plants
grown in a bench, as the soil is much
more quickly exhausted. Liquid fer-
tilizers, if made from sheep or cow
manure, can hardly be made too strong.
Most establishments of any size have
a mixing tank and apply the liquid
manure in some way through the pipes.
Where the number of plants grown is
limited and the establishment is small,
a bushel of manure can be placed in a
bag and put in a 50-gallon ker^ABene
barrel; then the barrel can be filled
with water and the manure allowed to
soak for several days. It is not a great
while since this was about all any of
us had to work with.

Chemical Fertilizers.

Chemical fertilizers are a valuable
aid to the exhibition grower. A 4-in'>,h
potful in a 50-gallon barrel of water
is perfe&tly safe to use and its good
effects can be quickly seen in the color
of the foliage. Waterings of these
chemicals between the applications of
liquid animal fertilizer seem to do the
most good.

The most commonly used chemical
fertilizers are either nitrate of soda,
sulphate of ammonia, nitrate or muriate
of potash. In my own case, after re-
peated experiments, I have figured out
my own formula, which is a combina-
tion of several of these ingredients,
and other growers of my acquaintance
have done the same.

By using fine bone as previously ad-
vised, both in the soil and as a top-
dressing, we afterward get with these
chemicals a combination of the three
chief elements of plant growth, nitro-
gen, phosphoric acid and potash, the
lesser elements being almost always

present in every soil in suflScient quan-
tities.

Nowhere, perhaps, does the beginner
fall down more quickly than in feeding
his plants, and under no condition can
the expert grower, however willing he
may be, be of much help to him. The
novice must work out his own salva-
tion, which he can only do by per-
sonal experience and years of pains-
taking care and observation.

TIME TO TAKE BUDS.

When is the best time to take buds
of Golden Glow and Smith's Advance?
After the taking of the buds, what
length of time will elapse before the
plants will be in flower! H. L.

The buds on Golden Glow and Smith 's
Advance can be taken at any time now.
In fact, in the case of the former, it
is probably making nothing but buds
from now on. Buds taken the first
week in August will be in flower by
the end of September. The question of
bud selection on the earliest varieties
was discussed by me somewhat in de-
tail in The Review of July 13, page 10.

BUSH PLANTS IN THE SOUTH.

Can you tell me what varieties of
pompon chrysanthemums will make
good bush plants and bloom for No-
vember in New Orleans? Will any of
the other chrysanthemums, if planted
now, make good bush plants and bloom
for November 1? If there are any,
please name them. N. O.

It is somewhat difficult for me, liv-
ing in New Jersey, to state with any
degree of certainty what will be in
flower in New Orleans November 1.
The large flowered kinds that have
been recommended to me by a grower
living in New Orleans include Mrs.
Robinson, Col. Appleton, Monrovia,
Timothy Eaton, Alice Byron, Gen. Hut-
ton, Yellow Eaton, Maud Dean and
A. J. Balfour.

Pompons, apparently, have not been
grown much in the south, but the fol-

PBOUFIC WHITE SOETS.

Please give us your opinion as to
the best white chrysanthemum, one
which will produce as many flowers as
possible, the flowers to be suitable for
design work? We do not want pom-
pons. We should prefer the outcurved
or straggly kind, S. F. C.

It is pretty hard to state which is
the best white, as individual opinions
differ greatly. The question, as I read
it, means: Which will give the great-
est quantity of flowers per plant, the
^'straggly" kind or reflexed variety be-
ing preferred? One of the best is Mrs.
J. R. Tranter. Its flowers are extra
wide and spreading and can be made to
cover considerable surface. The same
is true of White Cloud and Mrs. D. V.
West, though they are not often classi-
fied under the heading of commercial
varieties.

Commercial whites that give apparent
satisfaction, covering the season gen-
erally, are Beatrice May, Mrs. Wm.

Arnold, Marguerite Desjouis, Lynnwood
Hall, Jeanne Nonin and W. H. Chad-
wick. These varieties will give flow-
ers from October 1 to January 1, if
rightly handled, and, judging from the
orders received, these are the most
popular varieties for the average
grower. Chas. H. Totty.

SHADE FOB MXTMS AND ASTEBS.

Do chrysanthemums or asters need
shade on the glass where the tempera-
ture runs up to 110 or 115 degrees?

B. B. C.

A light shade I have found to be a
benefit to asters under glass in early
summer, but I do not use it until the
plants are nearly ready to flower.
Chrysanthemums do not require any
shade until their flowers are opening.
If the glass is shaded, it will only tend
to make the plants more lanky. They
are greatly benefited in hot weather by
sprayings overhead. Give abundance
of ventilation and use the hose freely
on the foliage. No matter how high
the temperature or how fierce the sun,
the plants are greatly benefited and re-
freshed by an occasional spraying. This
also tends to cool the atmosphere. The
ancient idea that it is dangerous to wet
the foliage when the sun is shining does
not hold good with mums; nor, in fact,
with a great many other plants grown
under glass. C. W.

A NEW MAEKET FEBN.

Although novelties innumerable make
their appearance, both in America and
in Europe, so few are really useful
market pot plants that the arrival of
one giving promise of adaptability to

the needs of the market grower at-
tracts international attention.

Possibly the most talked of novelty
of the year in Europe is Adiantum
Farleyense Glory of Moordrecht, which
the Eedlands Co., A. A. Fabius pro-
prietor, Emsworth, Hants, England, is
exhibiting as the Glory fern. The va-
riety has had innumerable awards, in-
cluding the first-class certificate of the
Royal Horticultural Society of Eng-
land, March 14, 1911, but it is because
of its commercial possibilities that it
holds the attention of the growers.
The accompanying illustration is repro-
duced from a photograph made at
Gouda, in Holland, where the plant was
sent for one of the exhibitions. It
shows the characteristic form of
Farleyense and gives an idea of the
glorified color, from which the fern
gets its name. Mr. Fabius, of the Red-
lands nursery, is a market grower, and
he believes he has in this novelty the
finest commercial plant of recent years.
He says it is of quick growth, being
easily handled, requiring no more heat
or attention that Adiantum cuneatum.
That it makes attractive plants in
small sizes is the general report, and
the illustration shows that it certainly
is fine in larger pots. The stems hold
up the fronds so well as to make it a
splendid plant for decorative purposes.
The European horticultural trades'
journals have given the plant many
extended notices, employing all their
stock of adjectives in their efforts to
show why the plant promises so well
from a money-making standpoint.

ral Co. is no longer transacting busi-

^^^^^ SUGGESTIONS

ssr^sr^jrs^KTgsr^KTssr

Antirrhinums.
Where antirrhinums are wanted to
follow early mums, which means they
will have to be ready about the last of
October, the present is a suitable time
to sow a batch of seeds. A shaded
coldframe is better than a greenhouse
for the seeds, but remove, the sashes
when the seedlings are up, to prevent
them from becoming drawn. The dwarf
and intermediate varieties are not so
desirable for forcing as the tall sorts.
Mixtures are an abomination and the
flowers will not sell at any price, but
pure white, golden yellow, bright pink
and clear scarlet are colors that people
want. Keep the plants grown along in
pots. If they are in 4-inch pots when
planted and have had one pinching
back, they should start away well when
benched. There is not any great call
for snapdragons until after Christmas
and plants benched to follow mums
will flower early in the new year.

Hydrangeas.

Look over the hydrangea plants in
the field and cut off any flower heads
which may appear. Where water can
be applied during droughty periods, the
plants will be greatly benefited thereby.
Where this can not conveniently be
given, keep the cultivator constantly at
work. The plants" may wilt severely
during hot days, but with cooler even-
ings and more moisture from the skies,
which we are bound to get sooner or
later, the plants will grow surprisingly
fast and the growth they make in Sep-
tember will equal that of the two pre-
ceding months combined, as a rule.
Plants being grown along in pots should
be plunged and freely syringed, as well
as watered. For early forcing these are
better than lifted stock, as their wood
can be ripened earlier and more easily.

Callas.
Calla plants which have been grown
in '^ots and have been lying on their
sides since the middle of June should
now be shaken out and repotted. Throw
away any decaying or diseased tubers.
They can now be purchased so inex-
pensively that it does not pay to carry
over any poor stock. As a general rule,
6-inch, 7-inch and 8-inch pots are excel-
lent commercial sizes to use. These
soon become filled with roots, but by
feeding them well with liquid manure
and giving them top-dressings of bone
or sheep manure every ten days they
can be kept in a vigorous growing con-
dition. Do not overlook the Godfrey
calla. This is the grandest acquisition
this family has had in many years. Do
not confound it with the now almost
forgotten Little Gem. It, is superior
in every way, producing thrice the
number of flowers, and the flowers are
as large as the ordinary calla and purer
in color. Callas like a generous com-
post; one containing two-.third8 fibrous
loam, one-third dried cow manure and
a good dash each of bone and sharp
sand suits them. Keep outdoors for

some time aftef repotting, and if you
prefer to grow them planted out in
benches and the benches are not yet
ready, the plants are all right where
they are until wanted.

Lilitun Harrlsii.

This is the season when the new
crop of Lilium Harrisii arives. This
lily has not proven entirely satis-
factory for some years, but the Ber-
muda growers are now exercising
greater care with -their stock and the
bulbs offered are believed this season
to contain a much reduced proportion
of diseased ones. Single bulbs in 5-
inch pots are the best when growing
the ordinary forcing sizes of Harrisii.
Any of extra size can go into 6-inch
pots, but we find 5-inch pots answer
well for the majority. Keep in a well-
shaded place, such as a cellar floor,
after potting. Soak well with water
and then let the soil dry out well be-
fore applying any more. Some of these
lilies will probably flower by Thanks-
giving, but the majority can be safely,
timed for Christmas if they are given
an average night temperature of 65
degrees when nicely started.

Formosa Lilies.

More of the Formosa lilies are be-
ing grown each year. For Easter they
are not so desirable as giganteums or
multiflorums. The majority grow too
long, and while the flowers are of good
size, they are often carried only one.

two or three on a stem. For cut-
ting, however, they are really splendid
and it will pay country florists to try
a case or two of them. The trouble
with these, as with many more lilies,
is that growers are digging too early
in order to get them on the market
ahead of the previous year's date and
the result is plainly evidenced in the
sickly, abortive growths of many of
the bulbs. It would be better by far
if these Formosas did not arrive until
September and we would then hear
and see less of disease. The Formosas
include a wide variety of seedlings.
Some grow eighteen inches, others six
feet high. Some flowers resemble L.
Brownii; others are like ordinary longi-
florums. They do not all flower together
and anyone with . a case of bulbs will
cut flowers over h, period of probably
three months. Nevertheless, when we
can get fine Formosas in flower at
Christmas and for two months later, it
will be found a useful lily to grow.

Polnsettlas.

The old poinsettia stock plants will
still be furnishing an abundance of
cuttings. These can be profitably put
in until the middle of August. The
latest propagations make up nicely in
6-inch or 7-inch pans, being dwarf and
stocky. Keep the cuttings potted off
as soon as they root. It cripples them
severely to have roots broken and it is
best to lift them as soon after roots
are formed as possible. Plants propa-
gated early will be rather tall for mak-
ing up into pans, but will pay well
if potted on and flowered in 6-inch
pots; or, if bench space permits, they
can be planted out, but be sure it is
in a house where a minimum tem-
perature of 60 degrees is at command,
or the bracts will not develop in sea-
son for the holidays. Old stock plants
benched in June are now growing vig-
orously. Each of these makes several
strong shoots and these will need stakes
before long to keep them straight.

GUBANIUM STEMS EATEN.

This spring I planted out, for stock,
a bed of Alphonse Bicard geraniums.
During the last few days I have noticed
some of them wilting. Upon removing
some of them to ascertain the cause, I
found the stems eaten completely hol-
low and, scores of little, white, ant-like
insects in them. Not having had any
trouble heretofore with this pest, I am
anxious to find out whence they came
and how I can get rid of them. One
after another, the geraniums seem to
be going the same way. A. P.

I have never had geraniums attacked
in the way described, and as the cor-
respondent has not forwarded any speci-
mens for examination, I am unable to
state whether I am acquainted with the
pest or not. As to whence they came,
that is a hard query to answer. It
might be asked of scores of other pests
which we are constantly fighting. It is

more than likely that the insects or
small maggots enter from the soil
through the roots, tunneling their way
up to the shoots.

Eemedial measures are not easy, but
you can kill anything in the soil itself
by boring holes with a pointed stick,
eighteen inches apart each way, and
pouring a teaspoonful of carbon bisul-
phide in each hole. This carbon costs
about 25 cents per pound can, at retail.
Fill the holes with soil immediately
after you have poured in the liquid.
You might also try spraying the plants
well with a nicotine solution. Water-
ing the ground with tobacco water has
been found helpful for root maggots and
might help in this case, as also would
dusting the ground rather heavily with
tobacco dust and scratching it into th&
soil. None of these remedies will hurt
the plants and some one of them, or a
combination, may help to clear out your
pests. C. W.

NITRATE OF SODA FOB BOSES.

Can you tell me how much nitrate
of soda to use in each gallon of water?
I want to use it for my roses. The
soil is not rich and I want to bring
them along and make them grow.

C. & W.

One pound to fifty gallons of water
is a sufficiently strong dose of nitrate of
soda to apply to roses. This is a power-
ful stimulant and must be used with ex-
treme caution on all plants. Be sure
not to apply it unless the roses have
plenty of roots to take it up, or it will
do more harm than good. A better
and safer food is liquid cow manure.
A mulch of this manure, spread on the
surface an inch thick, will also be of
much benefit, feeding the plants and
preventing the beds from drying out.
• C. W.

A STABT IN BOSE OBOWINQ.

I intend to grow some roses in
benches. Will you tell me when to
make cuttings and what wood is usedf
When should disbudding be done and
howf What pruning has to be done
during the season, after planting new
roses t When cutting flowers, how far
down can they be cut, or how many
eyes should be left for new growth?

E. D.

From Christmas until the end of Jan-
uary is the best season to propagate
roses for forcing. Of course they can
be rooted later than this, but at the
time specified solar heat is at its mini-
mum and fire heat is fairly steady,
which will give an even bottom heat
in the propagating bench. A tempera-
ture in the sand averaging as near 60
degrees as possible will be found right,
with an atmospheric reading 5 degrees
lower. Use coarse, gritty sand, which
w:ater will pass quickly through, and
pUck it well in the bench. Firm it well
apd soak well with water before put-
tii^ in any cuttings.

Propagating wood from flowering
shoots is generally preferred. Some
growers have found that blind wood
does not give as satisfactory results.
Two eyes are sufficient for a cutting,
although three may be left. Bemove
the bottom leaf and cut clean across
below this leaf. Cut half of the other
leaves away. Firm the cuttings well.
Keep sun away from them. Never al-
low them to get in the least dry, and in
from four to six week^ they will be
rooted and ready to go into 2i4-inch
pots, using loam with only a little

SES

manure. Keep them shaded until es-
tablished. Shift into 3-inch pots when
they have become well rooted.

Unless you want early flowers, pinch
off all flower buds until early in Oc-
tober. The only pruning needed prior
to and after flowering is the cutting
out of blind, weak wood. When carry-
ing plants over a second season, a rest
of six weeks to ripen the wood should
be given. They should be pruned back
to plump eyes and all useless wood
should be cut away. In cutting the
flowers, as long a stem is wanted as
possible. Two eyes can be left on
shoots of moderate strength and three
on strong ones.

C. W.

HABDY BOSES LOSUTO COLOB.

My outside roses, in light, sandy soil,
seem to be light coloired. Can you
suggest anything to add to the soil to
deepen the color in the blooms, or do
they need shading overhead in bright
weather, or a combination of both kinds
of treatment? Klondike strawberries in
the same soil come well colored. I live
in Texas. C. W. B.

Shading overhead with cheesecloth
will help to prevent the flowers from
fading out so quickly. All roses fade

out quickly in hot, sunny weather, and
in your warm climate the color will not
hold so well as farther north. In the
case of hybrid teas, which are probably
the kinds which succeed best with you,
if you mulch with well rotted manure
through the hot months and have facili-
ties for watering the plants, they will
be vastly improved. If you have no
barnyard manure, try top-dressings with
dried blood, which will have a bene-
ficial effect on both foliage and flow-
ers. A light overhead shade, as sug-
gested, is the only way to prevent flow-
ers from fading out quickly.

GLADIOLUS COLVILLEI.

I wish to grow some Gladiolus Col-
villei for Memorial day. How shall I
keep the bulbs until it is time to plant
them? Shall I grow them in flats or
benches, and do they have to be set
away to form roots, like hyacinths?
I have grown only carnations until the
last year and do not know much about
other plants. A. A. S.

These gladioli can be grown either
in benches or flats. You would find it
most profitable to use flats four inches
deep. Each flat, 4x12x24, will hold
seventy-five to 100 bulbs. The bulbs
arrive usually about October 1 and
should be placed in soil right away,
well watered and stood in a coldframe
or on a cellar floor on a bed of ashes.
They do not need covering with sand
or ashes, as do hyacinths, tulips and
narcissi. G. Colvillei The Bride is quite
early, but for Memorial day trade you
will find G. nanus Peach Blossom,
Blushing Bride, Ackermanni and Sappho
far superior. Blushing Bride and Ac-
kermanni are inexpensive. To flower
at the end of May, place them in a
carnation temperature about April 1.
These gladioli need an abundant water
supply and enjoy liquid pianure. They
can be flowered from April 1 to July
10 by starting successional batches.

SEASONABLE NOTES.

Cattleya Oigas.

Cattleya gigas has been making a
good show for some time past. The
flowers, while large, do not possess the
substance of such better known com-
mercial sorts as labiata, TriansB or
Mossiee, but they come at a season when
orchid flowers are scarce and often
in good demand. To flower this cat-
tleya well, the plants must be grown
in a rather strong light. Those with
big, deep green bulbs and leaves are
liable to come entirely blind. Sus-
pended, while growing, near the ridge
of the house, gigas is in its element.
It needs the warmer end of the house,
and in bright weather two or three

syringings a day are relished. Care
must always be taken, however, to keep
gigas where it is well shaded while
in flower, as it is more easily scorched
than any other cattleya. As the plants
pass out of flower an^ repotting can be
done. It is often unnecessary to repot
all the plants, but any with roots hang-
ing over the sides need overhauling.

Calanthes.

This is the season of active growth
of calanthes. The pots or pans should
now be well filled with active roots,
and, this being the case, they can be
given an abundant water supply and an
application of liquid cow manure twice

a week. The plants should be rather
heavily shaded, or the foliage will
be of a pale color. Unlike cattleyas,
they appear to do better when both
bulbs and leaves are somewhat drawn
up, so long as they are of a deep green
color.

On hot days the calanthes will en-
joy spraying over, both morning and
afternoon, and the house in which they
are growing should be closed up suffi-
ciently early in the afternoon to bottle
up a good amount of sun heat. On
dull days the plants should not be
syringed. On any night when the out-
side temperature falls below 60 degrees
a little fire heat in the pipes, just
sufficient to take off the chill, is bene-
ficial. One of the most successful
growers of these attributes much of his
success to having a little fire heat every
night through the summer. Where
plants have quantities of roots run-
ning over the surface, a mulch of old
cow manure can be applied with ad-
vantage. Calanthes make their growth
best in houses which are rather close
and stuffy, conditions which also suit
many of the dendrobes and phalee-
nopsis at this season.

Seedling Cattleyas.

During the summer months orchids
are in less demand than in winter and
spring, but there is an ever increasing
call for orchid flowers even in the hot
weather and there are many fine hy-
brids which bloom in summer. Some
may not be quite equal to their parents,
but others are even better. These seed-
lings generally possess greater vigor
tl^an Hieir parents and in many cases
flower finely twice a year. Unlike the
collected cattleyas, they seem to care
but little for a resting period and
do just as well when not rested at all.
It is a fact that cattleyas are often
seriously weakened by excessive drying,
and growers are gradually waking up
to the fact that in the past this rest-
ing business has been rather overdone.

Seedling cattleyas up to the flower-
ing stage, and even later, succeed re-
markably well in a house which is kept
moderately moist and which can be
closed up at 4 or 4:30 p. m., after

spraying the plants over. There is no
need at all to treat them as we are in
the habit of treating collected plants.
This is not saying that they will not
grow well with them, but they seem to
enjoy more heat and moisture. There
need be no hard and fast rules about
repotting them. It can be done practic-
ally any time in the year. Just as
soon as the pots are well filled with
roots and start to push over the sides,
repot them at once. »

Note how strongly many of the seed-
lings break, as compared with the for-
est species. It is common to see double
breaks; three, and even four, are not
unusual; in fact, it is often necessary
to cut out some of the growths to
strengthen the others, especially before
the plants have flowered. Any grower
who has two or three dozen hybrids
can cut flowers practically every day
in the year, and this is quite a con-
sideration to the man who has a steady
call for choice flowers. In the near
future houses of special hybrids will
be grown by all the leading commer-
cial specialists. This will be a neces-
sity, as the forest supplies can not last
forever. The plants themselves are
only good for a few years, while hy-
brids, produced from vigorous parents
possess much greater longevity.

CHBISTMAS PEPPERS.

Kindly publish cultural notes on
Christmas peppers, when to sow and
how to treat to be in prime condition
for Christmas. E. A. B.

Christmas peppers should be sown
not later than the first week in April.
Prick off into flats when large enough
to handle. Plant outdoors about June
1, when all danger from frost has
passed. Lift and pot about the mid-
dle of September. Keep well sprayed
and shaded for a few days, until the
plants become established. Some
growers prefer to keep in pots through
the summer. This entails more labor
in watering, but if the pots can be
plunged in soil or cinders in an open,
sunny spot, convenient to water, they
will do well. Six-inch pots are a con-
venient size to grow the plants in.

Remove to a house with a night tem-
perature of 50 to 55 degrees by the
early part of October, in order to get
them well ripened in good season.

CUTTINa GLADIOLUS SPIKES.

How close to the ground should gladi-
olus spikes be cut, in case the grower
wishes to sell the blooms and either
sell the bulbs or retain them" for his
own future use? A. G.

The gladiolus spikes should be cut
so as to leave at least two fully devel-
oped leaves. This can be done by plac-
ing the blade of a sharp knife across
the stalk and bending the spike over
the thumb of the knife hand, cut-
ting the spike and snapping it out at
the same times^ Generally it is not
necessary to cut entirely through the
stalk. Varieties differ in growth;
some are much easier to cut long than
others. It is necessary to leave at least
two leaves in order to develop the new
corm, which begins to form from the
time the spike shows.

ASTEBS BENCHED TOO LATE.

I have a bench of asters, put in dur-
ing the first week of June. I put
strawy stable manure in the bottom of
the bench; on top of that I placed some
soil and then about one inch of well
rotted stable manure, spaded in. My
asters did nicely for about three weeks;
then they began to turn black on one
side of the stem. Can you tell me
where the trouble lies? D. E.

The compost would seem to have been
all right for the asters. The main trou-
ble is in benching them as late as June.
For indoor culture early planting is
best, benching not later than the early
part of May. This permits the plants
to get well rooted and strong before
the intense summer heat comes on. The
terrific heat experienced during July
of the present year has been too much
for some plants under glass, asters
among them. The fact that watering
had to be done daily to keep the

of 100 degrees or thereabouts, hsis no
doubt caused the trouble. Stir the sur-

HABBISn IN BEBMXJDA.

Frank E. Pierson, of the F. R. Pierson
Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., it will be re-
called, was the original introducer of
the commercial culture of Lilium Har-
risii in Bermuda, and his statement that
the lilies shown in the accompanying
illustration are grown under better
cultural methods than have generally
been employed heretofore in Bermuda
will be of interest in the trade. The

Picture was taken when the field was in
uU bloom a few weeks ago and Mr.
Pierson says he believes the stock this
year is the cleanest and nicest Harrisii
that has been exported in a number of
years. It is well known that Harrisii
has been allowed to run down in recent
years and has become badly mixed be-
cause of poor cultural methods. The
growers of late have come to appreciate
the danger of the situation and have
taken such means as their individual
capacities would prompt to correct the
tendency and improve the culture. Mr.
Pierson says that onions or potatoes
were grown last year on the ground
occupied by the field of lilies illus-
trated, and that next year the lilies will
be followed by another vegetable crop.
This rotation has been found to secure
a more vigorous growth and freedom
from disease, when taken with the care-
ful selection of the stojdk for planting,

scaling the bulbs as was originally prac-
ticed for propagation in the early days
of the cultivation of Harrisii in Ber-
muda. There can be no doubt that the
quality of the Harrisii has improved
materially in the last few seasons.

SWEET WILUAMS FOS SPBINa.

I wish to grow some sweet Williams
for Memorial day in a house which I
expect to start up about the middle of
February. Will you please tell me
what kind of seeds would be best, when
to plant them and how to proceed? I
live in Massachusetts. A. A. S.

Lose no time in sowing seeds of sweet
Williams. The plants would have been
much stronger had the seeds been
sown a month ago. For Memorial day
trade bright colors are in special de-
mand, and you would do well to sow
one packet each of scarlet, crimson and
pink, or you can, if preferred, sow
mixed seed. The auricula-eyed form,
with large, clearly defined eyes, is dis-
tinct. Sow the seed under the protec-
tion of sashes or cheesecloth, in a light
compost, and keep watered with a
watering can and not with the hose.
The seeds will germinate in about ten
days. Transplant to beds or nursery
rows during cool, moist weather, allow-
ing the little plants six to eight inches
of space each way. Keep them well
cultivated all summer.

To winter outdoors successfully, cov-
er the plants lightly with dry leaves
when the ground freezes up. Lay some
old corn stalks or brush over the leaves,
to hold them in place. In your state
sweet Williams flower outdoors about
the middle of June and should be lifted

and planted in the bencb«B not later
than April 10. Two weeks earlier will
be better if the ground is open. Treat
them as you would stocks or any other
spring crops.

Other plants which you could grow
and flower, and which can be sown
now, include Canterbury bells and rock-
ets, white and purple. These plants
will do well planted in benches in a
carnation temperature. Still another
good Memorial day flower is Coreopsis
grandiflora. There is still ample time
to sow this. It is, however, better if
wintered in a coldframe, not being re-
liably hardy in Massachusetts.

IiOuisvilij:, ky.

The picnic of the Kentucky Society of
Florists, held at Stowers Grove, Thurs-
day, July 27, was a great success. About
200 persons enjoyed a basket lunch and
supper. Outdoor games of all kinds
were played. W. H. Leeming proved an
eflScient chairman of the picnic com-
mittee, while J. B. Stuessy made a great
hit as master of ceremonies.

The following were winners in the
athletic contests:

lOO-yard foot race for men, Herbert Lord.

100-yard foot race for boys, Harry Kunzman.

SO-yard race for married ladles, Mrs. Mamie
Fenster.

•lO-yard race for girls, Miss Maud Drakewell.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Eather more flowers are arriving than
a week ago, but the demand, for the
season, has been fair and all stock of
good quality has been readily disposed
of. Eecent heavy rains, while of im-
mense benefit to all outdoor crops, did
considerable temporary damage to
asters and other flowers and caused a
shortage for a time. Asters are becom-
ing more abundant and are realizing
excellent prices, as high as $3 per hun-
dred being paid for the best. The
quality, also, is improving. White is
most in demand, followed by pink and
blue. Sweet peas have improved in
quality and are seen with better stems.
Many, however, are hardly worth bunch-
ing. Gladioli from the open now in-
clude America, Brenchleyensis, May and
Augusta, but the spikes are not yet
good, nor the demand robust.

Eoses, with few exceptions, are ex-
tremely small and short-stemmed, being
cut from newly planted stock. There
is still a fair call for Beauties, and My
Maryland is good, holding its color extra
well. Carnations are of little account,
asters being far superior in every way,
but quite a number of undersized, spi-
dery flowers are still seen. Valley is
good; the quality is better than the de-
mand. The summer crop of gardenias is
now in and there is a moderate sale for
these flowers. Lilies are not over-
abundant and sell well. Dahlias have
already made their appearance, but
there is no sale for them yet. There is
an adequate supply of cornflowers, gyp-
sophila, gaillardia, candytuft and other
outdoor flowers, with an uncertain call
for them. The demand for asparagus
and adiantum is about the same.

Club Picnic.

Glorious weather was once more en-
joyed by the 500 or more members and
friends of the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club of Boston who attended the annual
club picnic at Caledonian grove, West
Boxbury, July 26. An inch of rain two
days earlier ended the prolonged
drought and put the grounds in perfect
condition for the occasion, which was
marred by no accidents a^d was thor-
oughly enjoyed by all who attended.
All the officials, from Peter M. Miller,
the president, downward, worked hard
and they felt well repaid for their
labors by the words of commendation
heard on every side.

The results in the various sporting
events were as follows:

Bnseball, Commercial Growers vs. Private
Gardeners. Commercials won by 10 to 7. The
winning team consisted of A. G. Walsb, W. S.
Green, J. McCarthy, George Palmer, M. F. Ruane,
Frank Edgar. B. Snyder. F. Pettlt, W. Aylward ;
pitchers, Aviward and McCarthy ; umpire, J. L.
Miller.

W. Ilitfe; ten entries.

One-hundred-yard race, boys under 15, heat
1, E. Bingham, J. Rogers, A. Hull; heat 2, C.
Pree, E. Plummer, T. Iliffe; final heat, C. Pree,
T. Iliffe, B. Plummer ; twelve entries.

Flag race, married ladles, Mrs. F. Coles, Mrs.
H. F. Woods ; six entries.

Quoit match, F. Coles, A. K. Rogers; twenty
entries.

Fifty-yard race, girls under 8, Mary Flood,
Marion Illfte ; seven entries.

Flag race, girls under 18, heat 1, Harriet
Coles, Alice Iliffe, C. Lally ; heat 2, Margaret
Iliffe, Edith Harbison, Edith Iliffe; final beat.

eight entries.

Fat men's race, D. F. Roy, James Wheeler,
J. L. Smith ; seven entries.

Broad Jump, J. Comerford, seventeen feet eight
inches; W. Iliffe, H. Coles; nine entries.

Three-legged race, boys, final heat, Q. Palmer
and T. Westwood, first ; Edgar Parker and Arthur
Whyte, second ; eight entries.

Half-mile race, H. L. Pree, D. H. Burns,
W. Iliffe; six entries.

High jump, T. Mahan, J. Comerford, H. Bald-
win, five feet four inches ; eight entries.

Tug of war, commercial growers vs. private
gardeners ; the latter team won and was as
follows: A. K. Rogers, W. B. ThornhiU, John
Reid, W. Robb, J. Will, J. L. Smith, D. H.
Burns, J. Burns, Q. H. Cray, J. Comerford,
T. Mahan.

Fifty-yard race, boys under 8, Prescott Whyte,
W. Shield, J. Duquld; nine entries.

One-hundred-.vard race, commercial growers
only, F. E. Palmer, W. S. Grassle, J. Wheeler;
six entries.

Fifty-yard race, children under 5, Florence
Walke, Arthur Rogers, Norman Craig ; ten
entries.

Flfty-ynrd race, girls under 8, Margaret Harbi-
son, Marlon Iliffe.

Picnic Notes.

The commercial ball team fairly beat
the privates this time. The latter be-
gan to score in earnest in their last
innings, however, and added no less
than five runs. Comerford brothers,
for the privates, and Aylward and
McCarthy, for the commercials, made
good pitchers.

The fat men's race, as usual, was one
of the star events of the day and the
way I>. F. Eoy raced and beat the re-
doubtable Wheeler caused many a heart
to thrill. The privates led here.

Where were all the local S. A. F.
boomers? We failed to see any of
them or hear any convention talk. They
lost a grand opportunity for booming
the Baltimore trip.

The private gardeners made short
work of their opponents in the tug of
war. They had altogether too much
weight for the commercials, who needed
a few men of the caliber of W. A.
Manda to turn the scales.

The executive committee furnished
coffee, sandwiches and ice cream to
all who had not brought ample lunches,
and did the work well.

The group photograph includes only
about one-half those in attendance.
Ladies, as usual, were out in force and
took a keen interest in the athletic
events.

The commercial growers' race for the
Benjamin Hammond trophy was a hair-
raiser; time for the 100 yards, less than
eleven seconds. F. E. Palmer ran as
never before in his life and touched the
tape a few inches ahead of W. S. Gras-
sie, with J. Wheeler close at their heels.

Boston to Baltimore.

In spite of the intense heat, quite a
little interest is being shown in the
coming Baltimore convention, which
promises to be largely attended from
Boston and vicinity. The fact that Bos-
ton will put forward a strong candi-
date for president is proving a great
attraction and the Hub's representa-
tives will make themselves heard on the
convention floor at Baltimore. The Bos-
ton delegation, it has been decided, will
leave the south terminal Sunday eve-
ning, August 13, at 6 o'clock, going per
Fall Eiver steamer to New York, where
they will join the New York delegation.
The single fare from Boston to Balti-
more will be $8.65, or, with the reduced
rate of one and three-fifths, the double
journey will be only $13.84.

All wishing to go with"* the Boston
party are requested to write to W. A.
Hastings, state vice-president, 0 Park
street, Boston, who will furnish all pos-
sible information and will also be glad
to enroll new members, the fee being
$5. The secretary of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club, W. N. Craig, will
also be pleased to answer any inquiries.

Various Notes.

The double fare for the Baltimore
convention from Boston is not $8.65, as
has been stated, but $13.84 on the cer-
tificate plan; berths extra. The Boston
delegation leaves South Terminal sta-
tion at 6 p. m. August 13, taking the
Fall Eiver steamer at 7:40 for New
York, and will accompany the New
York delegation, leaving at noon
August 14. W. A. Hastings, state vice-
president, has received an encouraging
number of responses from members
planning to attend and wants to get
many more, in order that Boston may
have a big, united body to work, talk
and vote for their presidential candi-
date, John K. M. L. Farquhar, who is
eminently fitted in every way to fill the
highest office in the gift of the S. A. F.

S. J. Goddard sailed July 26 for
a trip to Nova Scotia and New Bruns-
wick. He had all carnations housed
before he left. His plants never looked
better at this season. Sprinklers were
kepu running among them all the time
they were outdoors. The new varieties.
White Wonder and Gloriosa, have stood
the dry summer well and are now grow-
ing strongly. Mr. Goddard will attend
the Baltimore convention.

Mrs. E. H. Edgar, of the W. W.
Edgar Co., and Mrs. J. McHutchinson
are spending two weeks in New York.
The greenhouses here contain a splen-
did lot of Lorraine begonias, now in
5-inch pots, cyclamens and noinsettias
and many other holiday plants.

J. T. Butterworth has been vaca-
tioning at Cape Cod and has returned
greatly benefited by the change.

Eobert T. McGorum was an interested
spectator at the club picnic, but for
some reason failed to start in any of the
athletic events. This rather surprised
us, as we imagined he had considerable

sporting blood. All his roses are planted
and doing well. He is specially im-
pressed with Eadiance, for which he
sees a good future.

James Wheeler was, as usual, to the
fore in many of the club sporting events
and performed nearly as well as when
he was a private gardener. He has 23,-
000 carnations planted in his big house
and reports stock as looking extra well.

Thomas Brown, of Framingham, well
known to many in the trade, and father-
in-law of S. J. Goddard, the noted car-
nationist, had a growth removed from
his lip at the Framingham hospital July
22. He refused to take ether and stood
the operation finely. The doctors con-
sidered this marvelous in a man 85 years
of age. We wish him many more years
of peace and content.

William F. Walke, of Salem, who is
one of our most successful growers of
pot plants, has an extra fine lot of cycla-
mens, poinsettias and Lorraines for
Christmas. He is not growing quite so
many lilies this season, finding that
stock rooted and produced at home is
more profitable.

Mr. Nelson, of Nelson & Johnson,
Framingham, is enjoying a much needed
vacation with friends in the west.

F. E. Palmer, of Brookline, has irri-
gated many of his crops this season and
is more than pleased with the results,
especially in the case of vegetables.

July 24 gave us an inch of rain and
ended our long drought. July 28 gave
an additional fall of 3.49 inches, a larger
amount of precipitation than we have
had in any full month previously in
1911. While outdoor crops of flowers
and fruits received a rude battering
from the wind and rain, the benefits im-
measurably outweigh the damage and
all growers are feeling happy.

Prof. E. A. White, of Amherst, and
H. W. Field, of Amherst, are each plan-
ning to attend the Baltimore conven-
tion.

H. M. Robinson & Co. are busy mak-
ing everything shipshape for the fall
trade. They report good July business.
Joseph Margolis, one of the firm, left
July 29 to spend his vacation in tb«
Pine Tree state.

William R. Nicholson is busy empty-
ing his carnation houses and replanting.
Recent rains have greatly improved the
plants in the field, which' .are well np to
the average in quality. Quite a few
novelties are being grown.

Rose Mv Maryland is doing particu-
larly well with W. H. Elliott, at
Brighton, as a summer bloomer. Some

excellent Beauties and Carnots are also
being cut here at present. The big
Madbury plant is reserved for winter
blooming varieties.

Henry R. Comley, the well known
Park street florist, is able to be around
again after a month's sickness. There
is always something new and inter-
esting to be seen at his store.

Peirce Bros, are this year planting
five of their large houses in carnations,
one less than in 1910. They are each
year growing more of a general line of
flowers and plants. Their house of cat-
tleyas has done uncommonly well this
year.

Boston in July, 1863, had twelve and
one-half inches of rain. This year we
have not had half that fall in the same
month. The 1863 fall was the heaviest
Boston ever had in a single month.

Everyone who sees the 360-foot house
of the new rose. Lady Hillingdon, at
the Waban Rose Conservatories, is car-
ried away with it. It grows and flowers
as freely as Bridesmaid and the flower
is far superior to such sorts as Mrs.
Aaron Ward.

B. Hammond Tracy now has a fine
display of gladioli in his fields at Wen-
ham. The rain has greatly benefited
them. Mr. Tracy will make an exhibi-
tion at the S. A. F. convention. He
will have the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club of Boston as his guests toward
the end of August.

Allan Sim, brother of William Sim, of
Cliftondale, has returned from a pleas-
ant visit to Scotland.

OBITUARY.

Jeremiah Oalbraith.

Jeremiah Galbraith, for more than
fifty years a landscape gardener at
New Rochelle, N. Y., died of cancer
July 23, at his home, 15 Cedar street.
He was 76 years old and had come
from Ireland at the age of 26.

Miss Minnie JohnBon.

Miss Minnie Johnson, of the firm of
M. & L. Johnson, Dayton, O., died of
consumption July 25, at her home, 915
North Main street. She was born in
Dayton in 1852 and had spent her entire
life in that city. She was the daughter
of the late Jabez and Annie Johnson,
who were engaged in the nursefiffy busi-
ness in Dayton several years ago. In
1882 Miss Johnson, together with her
sister. Miss Lucy Johnson, established

the first flower shop in Dayton, at 142
South Jefferson street. Miss Johnson's
health had been failing for the last
three years, but she was able to be at
the store until two years ago; since
then her strength had failed rapidly. In
character she was amiable and pleasant;
in business, honest and upright, and she
leaves a large circle of friends to mourn
her loss. She is survived by three sis-
ters. Miss Lucy Johnson, Mrs. Carrie
Baker and Mrs. Anna Wilson, all of
Dayton. Miss Lucy will continue the
business.

Mrs. C. H. Woolsey.

Mrs. C. H. Woolsey, wife of the well
known florist at Roekford, 111., passed
away July 31, after an illness of several
years of pernicious anemia. For the
past three months she had been crit-
ically ill, and several times during the
summer she was so low that it was not
thought she could live through the day.

Mrs. Woolsey was born April 24,
1857, in the house in which she was
later married and which has always
been her home. She was married to C.
Harry Woolsey November 7, 1877. Four
children were born: Marie K., who died
in June, 1902; Earl Jay, who died in
infancy; Mrs. Ella B. Hixson, of Pasa-
dena, Cal.; and Ralph H., a clerk for
the C. & N. W. railway and living at
home.

The funeral was held August 2 and
was largely attended, there being many
flowers.

GBASSHOPPEBS IN GBEENHOUSE.
Will you kindly tell me how to kill
the grasshoppers in my greenhouse?
They are eating the buds off my car-
nations and asters. I have hand picked
them, but that does not get rid of them.
J. M. K.

Hand picking is the only means I
know of for destroying grasshoppers.
If you will go through your house early
in the morning, while it is quite cool,
you can catch them easily.

If you find that you can not get rid
of them in this way, I would suggest
that you screen your ventilators and
doors. That would prevent their com-
ing in from outdoors, and after you
got rid of the ones inside you would
have no more trouble with them. To

THE CONVENTION HALL.

The big stone building in which the
Society of American Florists ■will hold
its convention and trades' display
August 15 to 18 is the pride of Balti-
more. It is the Fifth Kegiment Armory
and the illustration herewith, showing
the exterior, is reproduced from the pic-
ture post-card that the conventionites
will be sending to the stay-at-homes.
The interior view is much more impress-
ive. It is made from a photograph pro-
duced by the joining of three plates in
the printing. Mack Richmond, the su-
perintendent of the trades' display, says
he will have the great floor space filled
with exhibits convention week.

van avenue. The plans provide for a
9-room building, fitted with every con-
venience.

Beloit, Wis.— J. H. Farnsworth has
purchased an interest in the McMaster
store, in the postoffice building, and has
removed his stock to it. The store,
like Mr. Farnsworth 's former place,
will be known as the Beloit Floral Shop.

Omaha, Neb.— William J. Sanders has
opened a flower store in the Loyal
block. Though still a young man, Mr.
Sanders has just closed eight years of
continuous service in the United States
navy and he made the tour around the
world with the Pacific squadron. Dur-
ing the last year he had been assistant
to the physician at the recruiting sta-
tion in this city. He spent four years
in the florists' business in Boston be-
fore entering the navy.

Montgomery, Ala, — The business of
H. L. von Trott, heretofore conducted
under the name of the Fernhill Green-
houses, now bears the name of the
Morningview Floral Co. The former
greenhouses, on the upper Wetumpka
road, have been taken down and re-
moved to Morningview, Capitol Heights,
where they will be rebuilt, enlarged
and planted with new stock. The
houses will front on Evergreen street.
They will probably be completed some-
time in the fall.

Batavia, N. Y, — Stroh & Sons report
encouraging business, to which they
pay close attention.

Canandaigua, N. Y. — R. H. McKerr
is rebuilding and enlarging, expecting
to cover the whole available area within

town, the property having been pur-
chased for building purposes.

Buffalo, N. Y. — John B. Milley made

vine. He is in favor of chartering a
special car to convey the craft from
this vicinity to Baltimore.

Bochester, N, Y. — Colin Ogston, su-
perintendent of the Kimball Conserva-
tories and the Mitchell farm, is an ac-
tive man, but hopes to join the party
for the convention. His chrysanthe-
mums are looking promising and will
be seen at the fall show.

Northfleld, Minn. — The Northfield
Seed Co. has leased the nursery of
the Northfield Nursery and Green-
houses, thereby permitting 'C. P. Nich-.
ols to devote his entire attention to
the florists' business. He plans an
early increase in glass.

Syracuse, N. Y. — Gustav Bartholme
was both a busy and happy man when
the writer called. He was finishing
up a heavy day's work on funeral
pieces and expected to commence the
next day by giving away a favorite
daughter in marriage and presiding at
the wedding feast that would follow.
They have our best wishes.

Lockport, N. Y, — Thomas Mansfield
says he will be at Baltimore, What
he does not know about heating, either
by steam or hot water, is preciously
little, A boiler maker by trade, he fol-
lowed that profession for a quarter of a
century, finally deciding to locate a
greenhouse over a boiler in this city,
where he has built up a lucrative busi-
ness. He is a successful grower of
Begonia Gloire de Lorraine and is much
interested! in Glory of Cincinnati.

Buffalo, N. Y.— Charles Hewson, fore-
man for the William Scott Co., is a
strong advocate of crocking for drain-
age. Willie Scott showed the writer
a batch of Bostons grown in 5-inch
and 6-inch pots treated this way. They
were a grand lot of plants. The mums
are planted late here. The idea is to
plant late varieties only, owing to the
houses being used for bedding stock,
the demand for which has been un-
usually large this season. By the time
the houses are overhauled, only late
kinds can be planted. Early varieties
are grown at Corfu.

Incorporated by Act of Congress, March 4, 1901.

Officers for 1911: President, George Asmus, Chi-
cago; vice-president, R. Vincent, Jr., White Marsh,

urer, W. F. Kastlng, Buffalo, N. Y.

Annual convention, Baltimore, Md.. August 15 to

RESULTS.

"We give them. You get them.
We both have them.

Now is the time to advertise field-
grown carnation plants — also the time to
buy them.

Cheap insurance for greenhouses: A
quantity of glass bought at present prices
and stored in some safe place.

Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Eeview $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.

If I. X. L. and others, who tear oflF the
printed heading of the paper on which
they send inquiries, will sign full name
and address, the questions will be care-
fully answered. Anonymous inquiries
never can receive attention.

The seventeenth annual exhibition of
the Dutchess County Horticultural So-
ciety will be held at Poughkeepsie, N. Y.,
November 2 and 3. Preliminary sched-
ules may be had by addressing Herbert
C. Cottam, secretary, Wappingers Falls,
N. Y.

The secretary of the S.A.F., in sending
out the 1911 badges to the members who
have paid their dues, advises that no one
will be admitted to the exhibition hall at
the Baltimore convention unless he be a
member of the S.A.F. or the Baltimore
Gardeners' and Florists' Club.

Montagu C. Allwood, who has
achieved some fame in England as a car-
nation grower on the American system,
has left Stuart Low & Co. to join his
brother, George W. Allwood, who has had
six years' experience in America, in
growing carnations at WlVelsfield Nur-
series, Hayward's Heath, Sussex.

A MEMBER of the city council at Min-
neapolis has introduced an ordinance re-
stricting the location of greenhouse es-
tablishments. If the measure passes it
will provide that greenhouses can be
jere<}t#d only by special permission of the
eity council and with the written con-
sent of both aldermen of the ward in
which they will be located.

BEACHINa THE BUnOtS.

A constantly increasing number of
advertisers think it would not pay them
to multiply their advertising expendi-
ture to reach the few trade buyers who
do not read The Eeview.

We are having great success with our Silver
Pink antirrhinum, and as we are using only
The Review the credit must go to you. — G.
S. Ramsburg, Somersworth, New Hampshire,
July 29, 1911.

CmCAGO.

The Great Central Market.

There has been a marked increase
in the supply since last report, but it
was not until the opening of the present
week that the increase in production
began to affect the demand. Saturday,
July 29, was one of the best midsum-
mer days the market ever has known,
though the preceding day there was a
little less shipping than on other Fri-
days during the month. On the whole,
July has been the best ever. Of course
growers who were cutting little may
not have found it so, but prices never
were better in July and those who had
something to sell reaped the harvest.
Retailers did not find July especially
good — sales not heavy and such stock
as was acquired cost more than it usu-
ally has in July.

Asters, which have been late, have
arrived in force and now dominate the
market. The quality of the stock is as
yet nothing to brag about, though some
excellent asters grown under glass .ire
seen. The dry weather has affected the
bulk of the crop and its effects have
not been wholly overcome by a few
recent showers. The aster has practi-
cally displaced the carnation, though a
few carnations from the old crop are
still coming in, with a few from the
field, and a few from the early plant-
ings under glass.

The rains also have benefited gladioli
and increased the receipts. Prices have
fallen, though the quality is improved.
Now that asters are abundant, gladioli,
are not in such strong demand.

Beauties are in light supply, but there
are increased receipts of roses. Prices
on roses are unchanged, but the buyer
gets a better rose for his money. Kil-
larney is the principal item in roses;
more Killameys are received, white and
pink, than all other varieties combined.
Several growers are cutting Killarneys
of superlative quality. The White Kil-
larney is not really white, but the pi'ik
Killarney is pinker than in a long
time; no better color ever was seen.
Mrs. Aaron Ward is lengthening in stem
and is popular with the buyers, as is
Prince de Bulgarie.

Easter lilies are once more in good
supply and there continue to be plenty
of auratums and rubrums. Not many
sweet peas are coming in, but the
arrivals include some flowers much bet-
ter than those that came in before the
rains.

One of the curiosities has been the
absence of demand for orchids during
the time that other flowers were in such
keen request. Last week everything
sold well, except cattleyas, some of
which actually were lost for lack of
a buyer at any price.

All greens are plentiful, except galax.

Wm. Wienhoeber Enters Firm.

William Wienhoeber entered the
Ernst Wienhoeber Co. August 1 and
will devote the future to the business.

ANOTHER BIG CROP OF

BEAUTIES

GROWN BY A SUMMER BEAUTY SPECIALIST.

This week we are getting the first cut of a new crop of Beauties grown by a specialist in this
flower — the same grower who has supplied the Beauties we have shipped in other seasons. Whenever
this grower is in crop, these Beauties always are the best in the market. Few growers are cutting at
present^ but we have a large supply and they never were better. All buyers who want good Beauties,
any length, should get in touch with us at once.

KILLARNEYS

Bigf Supply of Splendid Stock.

The quality of our Eillameys this summer is the marvel of the market
— Chicago never has seen anything like so large a supply or such fine
quality. We are furnishing buyers all the Killarneys they need, in any
length up to 18 to 24 inches. The color is something wonderful— better
than it is in winter. These roses are business-builders. Once tried, you
will use no others.

Specially strong^ on the 6c, 8c and 10c g^rades.

GLADIOLI

Since a few good rains, Gladioli are much more abundant and the
quality also is better, though our Gladioli left little to be desired in the
matter of quality and our supply has been large right along. Mrs. Francis
King (red), America (light pink), and Augusta (white). These are the
three buyers want in quantity, and we have them. Note reduction in

prices.

ASTERS

Asters now are in very large supply ; we can furnish any color, any
length, in any quantity. The quality is much improved and you can count
on getting, for the rest of the season, if your orders are sent to us, all the
Asters you may need for any kind of sale that comes your way.

Valley

Order Valley of us and you will
draw on a never-failing source of
supply.

Lilies

We can furnish Easter Lilies,
Rubrums or Auratums, best qual-
ity, in any quantity.

HEADQUARTERS FOR ALL GREENS

Here you get the best Fancy Ferns, all the Smilax and Asparagus
strings you want, ^prengeri and Plumosus bunches, Mexican Ivy and
Galax. No order too large for our facilities and no order too small to
receive our careful attention.

FANCY EASTER LILIES

While we always have been well situated to supply Lilies, this summer we are in better shape than ever before.
These Lilies are grown in a cool climate, giving keeping and shipping qualities exceeding anything we ever have had in
Lilies. Cut half developed, so as to reach you in perfect condition. Supply large and steady. Can furnish any quantity.

Also Choice Rubrums in Large Supply, and Auratums.

GLADIOLI in All Colors

We are prepared to furnish Augusta (white), Mrs. King (red) or A.merica (light pink), separate colors in any
quantity, or mixed unnamed varieties if wanted. This is fine stock— much better than the Glads that brought more
money earlier in the season, before the recent rains. Send along your orders— you can use this stock in quantity.

Mr. Wienhoeber is the youngest son of
the president of the company, who laid
its foundation on Elm street, near the
aristocratic Lake Shore drive, in 1877.
The young man, after completing his
college course, has taken a practical
course in the flower business, first with
a leading Pittsburg retailer and for the
last year with Alex. McConnell, in New
York, where the millionaires delight to
trade. Mr. McConnell has spoken highly
of Mr. Wienhoeber 's capacity and
prospects.

Testimonial to Beinberg.

Pinning a five-pointed diamond star
on the coat of Alderman Peter Eeinberg
July 27, Mayor Harrison said: "The
gold in this badge is not purer than
your heart, and the gems are not more
brilliant than the smile with which you
greet your friends. If the people of
Chicago appreciate you at your true
worth as a man and as a public official
you will hold a much higher office than
you do now."

This was said in the presence of 250
democrats, mostly from the Twenty-
sixth ward, who had gathered in the
grillroom of Vogelsang's at a testi-
monial banquet, of which the presenta-
tion of the badge was the climax. There
were many flowery speeches. J. F.
Mclnerney caused the diners to rise en
masse when he predicted that Peter
Reinberg would be the next democratic
governor of Illinois.

July Weather.

Taking .July as a whole, the mean
temperature was exactly the same as in
July, 1910, but it came about through
the first part of the month being much
warmer than usual, with temperatures up
to 102 degrees, while the latter part of
the month was cooler than usual, with a
minimum temperature of 53 degrees.
The rainfall was only 2.65 inches, or
about an inch less than the average
amount. The percentage of possible sun-
shine was seventy-five, or just about
normal.

looks remarkably healthy.

The committee in charge has com-

show, ready for the approval of the ex-

Society, after which it will be pub-
lished.

L. Baumann is in his office again,

Louis Wittbold returned from Wheel-

such a bad cold that speech was almost

Asters and gladioli are increasing in

The aster is the principal flower.
Ostrich Plume has come. While there

of Queen of the Market, most of the

are good. America leads, followed by
May, Augusta and the red. Some new

welcome. Maryland and Kaiserin are

The Philadelphia Bulwark.

I have often wondered whether flo-
rists generally understand what makes
a successful greenhouse business, a
business that can be depended upon to
produce good returns year after year.
I did not understand it myself until
the necessity arose for studying the
varying conditions that surround each
grower's establishment, in order to
write about them intelligently. It is
apparent to the newspaper man of
today that the shipping business of
Philadelphia is growing in supplies, in
seeds, in cut flowers, in plants. It is
also apparent that success today re-
quires quite as much ability, in a dif-
ferent way, as in former years. It is

also apparent that there are more fail-
ures, because in the old days pretty
much everybody succeeded more or
less.

The foundation of the success of the
plant business lies in the ability to
produce at a reasonable price a regular
supply of plants on which dependence
may be placed. This calls for a com-
bination of cultural skill, business sa-
gacity, reliability and entire freedom
from the American tendency to specu-
late. The reward is the confidence and
respect of the profession and a certain
income, superior to that which can be
obtained from any kindred pursuit.

A fair example of what I mean may
be found at Holmesburg in Charles D.
Ball. Mr. Ball built three greenhouses,
each 26x100, in 1879. Through perse-
veringly keeping to his purpose and
through his ability, he has made the

product of his nineteen greenhouses the
standard of quality in palms all over
the country. His stock is known and
valued by one or more florists in many
cities outside of Philadelphia, who feel
that season after season they can de-
pend upon him for their best palms.

An hour spent with Mr. Ball in his
greenhouses brought out even more
strongly than usual the strength of the
kentia; it seemed that nine out of
every ten plants grown here belonged to
that family. In numbers Kentia Fors-
teriana is increasing at the expense of
Kentia Belmoreana, because it is be-
lieved to produce better made-up plants
in the small size — that is, the 6-inch
size — and in the extra large decorative
size, while Kentia Belmoreana is bet-
ter in the medium sizes. Great care is
exercised to keep up the proper number
of each size in both these varieties of
kentias, not only for this year but for
next year and for the year after that.

Areca lutescens, grown in the cool
kentia temperature, has a grace and
finish that seems to assure its future
popularity for many years to come.
Cocos Weddelliana germinates better
sown in pots under the table than on
the table, a labor-saving device that
speaks well for care in watering.

Phoenix Boebelenii is pretty, but Mr.
Ball doubts whether it will rival the
leaders in popularity, as it grows slow-
ly. Pandanus Yeitchii, from own stock,
holds its place. There was a pretty
batch of Dracaena terminalis, and a
smaller one of Dracsena Sanderiana.
The ferns are represented by Nephro-
lepis Scottii and Scholzeli and tbe
fernery sorts are mostly of pteris blood.
Latania Borbonica from Brazilian seetl
promises finer stock a year hence than
can be obtained from the old Cuban
seed. Livistona rotundifolia was ab-
sent; there is something better in sight
for some day.

Mr. Ball nodded when asked whether

The Market.

The conditions of the market last
week were somewhat better. The few
showers and the cooler weather made
stock of all kinds look much better.
The demand, too, was improved, owing
partly to large orders for funeral work
for several prominent people. The fu-
neral of Mayor Kreisman's mother
created a great demand for fancy stock.

Gladioli are coming in heavily now
in all varieties, with America as the
favorite and the top price $8 per hun-
dred. Asters are arriving more freely
and will soon be plentiful enough to
take the place of carnations, which have
been extremely scarce for the lust six
weeks. A nice lot of outdoor roses are
coming in, with white and pink Cochets
in the lead. Hardy hydrangeas and
tuberose stalks are rather scarce, as is

A Visit to BeUeviUe.

On Wednesday, July 26, W, C. Smith,
W. J. Pilcher and J. J. Beneke spent the
day visiting the Belleville florists. The
party called first on the St. Clair Floral
Co. and was received by A. S. Halstead.
After this well kept plant had been in-
spected, Mr. Halstead put his large
touring car into commission and took
the visitors to K W. Guy 's place. From
there, in company with Mr. Guy, the
party went to A. G. Fehr's place. Gust
Grossart's was the next stopping place
and then the West End Floral Park, of
which Henry Emunds is proprietor.

At all these places everything was
found in good shape for the coming
fall season. The St. Clair Floral Co.
had all its carnations and chrysanthe-
mums planted and they looked well. Mr.
Guy had not started planting, but his
field stock looked healthy. Mr. Fehr
was busy getting ready for planting
and for the building of two more houses.
Mr. Grossart, who grows a little of
everything, had his houses in excellent
shape. At the West End Floral Park
Mr. Emunds showed the visitors several
remarkably fine houses of chrysanthe-
mums. All complained, of course, of
the long dry spell and the constant
watering that had been necessary to
keep the plants alive. In spite of this,
Belleville will be well supplied with
cut stock this fall and winter.

After a tour of the city, inspecting
all points of interest, the visitors were
taken to the Elks ' club room for dinner,
as guests of A. S. Halstead. Then the
St. Louis party left for home, with
pleasant memories of the hospitalities
of the Belleville florists.

Various Notes.

F. J. Farney, representing M. Kice &
Co., Philadelphia, reports a good busi-
ness here for last week.

Mrs. John Steidle, president of the
Ladies' Home Circle, says that the next
meeting of the lady florists will be
held at Chautauqua in September, in
honor of Miss Matilda Meinhardt, their
secretary, who will have returned from
her trip to Europe by that time. A
full attendance is expected on this
occasion.

Julius Dilhoflf, representing the
Schloss Bros, ribbon house. New York
city, was here last week, calling on the
trade.

State Vice-president Fred H. Weber,
of the S. A. F., was out booming the
Baltimore meeting last week. He has
quite a few names on his list for the
trip and expects to have a complete list
of those who are going by August 10.

The election of the three-year term
trustees of the Florists' Club will be a
lively contest. The candidates, J. F.
Ammann and Frank A. Weber, are both
confident of success.

President Sanders and Secretary
Windier say there will be an important
meeting of the Retail Florists' Asso-
ciation on Monday, August 14. Quite
a few names will be presented for mem-
bership.

David Geddes, of the Ayera Floral
Co., says that the improvements have
been completed in the workroom and
show house. All the heating system has
been renovated and they are now ready
for the opening of the season.

August 3, 1911.

DETBOIT.

The Market.

"Witli tJie advent of another spell of
warm weather, business became more
quiet .itg£iiii after a short busy time.

.Stock is greatly improved in qjaality;
roses and asters, especially, are Ufetter*
than a week ago. The supply is>aJso:
not so limited and indications are that
there will be no more trouble' on this
score this season.

Gladioli are coming in quantity and
are of good quality.

Various Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. Bissinger, of Lansing,
were in the city Monday, July 31, to
attend the outing to Peche Island.

Miss Julia Dreher, of W. B. Brown's
staff, has just returned from a long
vacation.

Most of the downtowji retail florists
closed their stores Monday afternoon,
.luly 31, in order to enable theif em-
])loyees to attend the outing given by
the Michigan Cut Flower ' Exchange.
This never before happened in this city
as far back as the writer can remember,
but there is no reason why a flower
store <an not close for a half day once
during * the year, when grocers and
butclKTS do it.

Hubert Pearce, proprietor of the De-
troit Cut Flower Supply House, has
been cohfined to his home for many
weeks with a severe attack of rheuma-
tism. After nearly three weeks in bed,
Mr. Pearce is now able to get about on
crutches and is confident that he will
soon be back in his office.

What remains of the greenhouses
occupied for the last tliirty years by
Stephen Tapliu, at Twenty-fourth street
and Fort street, west, is being removed.
Mr. Taplin's sons, who have been run-
ning the establishment for some time,
have gone out of l>usiness. About thirty-
five years ago the houses belonged to
Ferrand & Osborne, Mr. Taplin being
manager. Later thev were sold to Hub-
1 ard & Davis; then Mr. Davis acquired'
sole ownershi]), and about thirty years
ago Mr. Taplin, who was still manager,
bought out Mr. Davis.

On Monday, July ."Jl, the florists of
Detroit and vicinity, with their friends,
spent a most en.ioyable afternoon as the
guests of the Michigan Cut Flower Ex-
change. At 2 p. m. the party boarded
the beautiful new steamer, St. Claire,
and were taken on a trip up and down
the river. Dancing and refreshments
added to the pleasure. In all, there must
have been fully .'SOO people on board.
The weather was ideal. Among the
party were A. Miller and President
H. E. Philpott, of the Chicago Florists'
Olnb.

The conservatory and greenhouses at
the residence of th« Ut^ O. S<>otton «re
being torn down. Harry Pickworth,
now with Asman & Dunn, was gardener
for many years at Mr.' Scotton 's.

On Monday evening. August 7, the
annual election of officers of the De-
troit Florists' Club will take place.
Eyery member is urged to attend this
meeting, as much of importance, besides
the election, is on the program.

Thursday, July 27, B. Schroeter cele-
brated his seventieth hirthday. Mr.
Schroeter does not show his age; in fact,
he is the first and last man on the job
every day in the year, and has just com-
menced the erection of a beautiful new
store and conservatory at .56 Broadway.

Wm. Starret, of the Kenneth Ander-

son Co., together with his wife, spent a
most enjoyable afternoon at the Michi-
gan Cut Flower Exchange outing to
Peche Island.

Mrs. J. F. Srtllivan had to undergo
another operation last Fi'iday, but is
now resting much more easily and her
speedy recovery is hoped for, H. S.

NEW BEDFORD, MA3S.

The Market.

' Flowers are a little more plentiful
bwing to the recent rains, and asters
are coming in regularly and show a
^te6dy'iitiprt)vemerit in quality. Carna-.
tiohs are small and will soon Ije thrown
out to make room for the young stock
from the fields. Boses are quite good
for this time of the year and sweet peas
are blooming freely on account of the
rain. Some of the growers are bench-
ing their young carnations and the
stock looks fine. Funeral work is good
and uses up lots of short-stemmed stock.
The retail prices are as follows:
Asters, 35 to 50 cents per dozen; carna-
tions, 35 cents; roses, .$1 to $1.50;
sweet peas, 50 cents per hundred;
gladioli, $1 per dozen.

Varioiis Notes.

We are having unsettled weather,
with lots of rain.

Vacations are now the order of the
davand earlj' closing is the rule.

This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the
facilities for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid
development of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and
so helpful 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 — wefl, The Review's department for Retailers' cards remains the
one way of getting prompt action on the order in hand.

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?

The Market.

("ool weather witli an abundance of
rain lias done wonders with vegetation
in .general, and conditions are about
normal once more after the drought
of early .]uly. Gradually the supply of
cut flowers is becoming equal to the
demand. Asters are coming into the
market in great quantities and are
used for all occasions, but especially for
funeral work, as they can be put to
such varied use in design work and are
most satisfactory flowers for clusters.

Roses are much better. Killarneys
are rich in color and firm of stem and
retail for $1, $1.50 and $2, while specials
bring $2.50. Marylands are not quite
so good, but bring the same price, while
Richmonds are only fair and retail for
$1 and $1.50 per dozen. Kaiserins are
fine at present, much better than White
Killarney or Bride roses. Beauties are
just fair and go at $3 and $4 per dozen.
Sweet peas are still quite scarce and
poor in quality. They have been higher
in price this year than for many years
previous, for in midsummer they are
selling at 25 cents per bunch, or .$1 per
hundred. Valley is good and retails at
$6 per hundred. Gladioli are coming
much better now and in choicer variety,

but the quantity is still on the minus
side. Coreopsis, cornflowers, mignon-
ette, phlox, helianthus, gaillardias and
scabiosa are more plentiful this week,
but carnations have almost disappeared.

There is little call for asparagus and
adiantum just now.

All through the summer there has
been a big demand for flowering plants,
but the local dealers had nothing but
gloxinias, hydrangeas and a few potted
pink lilies to offer. Bedding plants are
still being sold occasionally.

Trade in general has become stag-
nant, but took a few spasmodic spurts
during the month. Part of the working
force in the stores is painting vases and
stands and renovating in general in
preparation for the fall trade.

Henry Field has returned to Shenan-
doah, la., after a three weeks' vacation.

Advices state that the first large ship-
ment of the 1911 crop of French bulbs
left Marseilles July 7.

It is stated that up to July 10 just
600 cases of this year's bulb crop had
left Japan, mostly consigned to Europe.

The drought is hurting the crop of
gladiolus bulbs. America promises to
be in short supply for the next season's
demand.

J. O. ToLAND, the seedsman of Hum-
boldt, 111., is replacing his old seed house
with a new, modern building, 28x60 feet
and consisting of two stories and a base-
ment.

Edwin A. King, referee in the bank-
ruptcy case of Josiah L. Young, Troy,
N. Y., has filed his report and is pre-
pared to declare a first dividend to cred-
itors. A meeting for that purpose will
be held August 7.

The new warehouse for the Texas Seed
& Floral Co., at Dallas, is rapidly ap-

be ready by September 15. The building

j One of tlie New York bu^ uBpotters
says the crop of Formosa bulbs is short
OH small sizes and iMig on large bulbs.
This is just the opposite of what one
would expect.

It is stated that Isaac Bunting, the
LfOndon bulb merckaat, is shipping from
his Japan branch lily bulbs to the United
States for Vpa Zonneveld Bros. &
Philippo, packed in larger cases and of
heavier weight. It will be interesting to
note bow the bulbs will stand the long
journey. Small cases have been thought
advisable, owing to the danger of rot if
too many bulbs were packed in one case-

ST. DAVIDS HABBISII.

The following is from the Boyal Ga-
zette, published at Hamilton, Ber-
muda, dated July 22:

' ' Market wharf certainly presented a
scene of activity for a short time to-
wards its 'Daisy end' Thursday morn-
ing last, shortly after 7 o 'clock. First
of all came the Daisy from St. Davids
loaded up or down, just as you choose
to call it, with an extraordinarily choice
assortment of Lilium Harrisii bulbs
from 5s to beyond extras in size and
in appearance, they said, never to have
been 'surpassed. These bulbs were from
St. Davids island, where we understand
some very good as well as very bad
lilies have been raised this season, for
parties at the West End. Some few
weeks ago we asked one of the growers
concerning the lily crop on St. Davids
for this season and he replied that it
was awfully bad, but the bulbs seen
this morning looked certainly good."

TENEBIFFE ONION SEED.

One of the largest growers of onion
seeds on the Island of Teneriffe makes
the following report:

"The present season will show no bet-
ter stand than in 1910. We have had more
rains, but these came late and the plants
generally will not have their seed heads
fully ma'tured before July 15 to 20. The
yield, on the whole, will turn out short,
and specially of the White Crystal Wax
variety.

"About one-third of the crop of Ber-
muda onion seed is raised in a certain
district well adapted to this crop, and
it is here that fine looking fields early
in May have been severely injured by
strong winds and disease. It is so
serious, indeed, that many fields looked
as if they had been set on fire with
kerosene. Everywhere black, yellowish,
headless stalks may be seen for a long
distance. I estimate the loss of Crystal
White Wax, and the other varieties in
the infested district, to be no less than
fifty to sixty per cent of the expected
crop before disease made an appear-
ance.

"The most conservative and approx-
imafe figures I can give on this year's
seed production are as follows:

White rrystnl Wax 4.000 Ihs.

White Bornnida W.OOO lbs.

Uod Roiiiuulii 7,000 lbs.

,. frowsts, for at least "fifteen per cftnt
.-*'" will be exported to other smaller onion
growing countries. Considering that
last year American growers used over
50,000 pounds of Bermuda onion seeds,
and. that demand will be this fall some-
where around 45,000 pounds, it is natu-
ral to presume that many onion growers
will be short of seeds, and consequently,
the general Texas Bermuda onion crop
in 1912 will be smaller, with corre-
spondingly higher prices."

OMAHA.

Club Outing.

The Omaha Florists' Club held its
fourteenth annual picnic July 27, after-
noon .and evening, at Courtland beach.
This was one of the most successful
and well attended picnics in the club's
history. The weather was fino. Tue
bowline match between Omaha and
Council Bluffs was interesting,^ with
teams of ten men on each side. Two
games were played. The first the
Bluffs won and the second the Omahas.
The Bluffs had a few pins in their
favor. Time did not permit the third
game. Amusements of various kinds
were engaged in. The girls' race T\a8
won by Miss Soranson, and the boys'
race by Perry Fallis. A fine lunch was
served, with ice cream and other re-
freshments, all going home at a late
hour with pleasant thoughts of » fine
and sociable time.

.'■ Various Notes.

Flowers are of poor quality and not
plentiful on account of the hot and
dry weather. Hardly any of the out-
door flowers are available. The demand
for flowers is mostly for funerals.

The florists arc having their vacation
at home in the shade, some fixing up
their greenhouses, while others may be
off to some mountain resort.

L. Henderson has remodeled and
painted his store and others are about
to do the same.

P. Floth is rebuilding some green-
houses.

Hess & Swoboda have made many
improvements at their greenhouses,
adding a range of new houses.

Mr. and Mrs. A. Lang, of Chicago,
were visitors in Omaha last week, corn-
ing through from a three weeks' trip
from the mountains of Colorado, Denver
and Manitou. L. H.

NEW TOBK.

The Market.

Now the aster dominates the market.
Next, it will be the gladiolus. In fact,
already shoals of both, especially the
aster, are arriving. These, and the
water lilies, make up the window exhib-
its, backed as usual by a grand variety
of ferns, from Bostons to cibotiums.
The supply of roses and carnations is
.short and of good stock there is com-
paratively none. The new stock of these
is limited and this is fortunate, for
there is practically no demand. For the
best grade of American Beauties 25
cents appears to be top. A few top-
notch Killarney bring 4 to 5 cents each.
There is little of the surplus on the
street, most of the venders having de-
parted for the summer resorts.

The orchid supply is sufficient for
all requirements and there is no change
in prices, 50 to 60 cents being the limit
for the selected gigas. The price of

There are over one hundred
varieties and grades of ric^
grown in Japan, The differr
ence in quality i9 very great,
but how much does yout
Grocer know about rice? Now,
if a salesman came to you to
sell Mining Stock you would
likely want to know some*
thing about the mine, where
it was, how much per ton the
raw material was worth, the
cost of producing it at the
market place, etc. But if a
bulb salesman offered you
Japan bulbs, ydu would never
think to ask him what
part of Japan they come
from, how the fields look, or
anything about them. Funny,
isn't it. Well, the fact is, not
one out of ten knows anything
about it. With them "pigs
is pigs" and "bulbs is bulbs"
and the lower the selling
price, the better for them.
However, there is a difference
in lily bulbs and that differ-
ence has cost many a grower
more than he realizes or cares
to admit — and all is due to
his anxiety to save a penny
the wrong way. The best
Giganteum produced today
are labeled Horseshoe Brand.
They are incidentally about
the best lily bulbs any man
could buy. Don't believe
what we say about them
because we know about them
and you don't — so try them —
that's the way to tell — and
compare your profits. Write
for prices.

Lilium Harrisii

(The Bermuda Easter Lily)

LET US SUPPLY YOUR WANTS IN LILIES THIS SEASON

We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, at regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer it not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for us by a few selected grow-
ers whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In order to insure the health of the product, the bulbs are not
grown on the same field oftener than one season, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thor-
oughly manured when the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbl are planted
no fresh manure is used ; this prevents disease and insures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the ground until they are
thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is very little, if any, stock obtain-
able as good as the stock that we are offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stock and when this is disposed
of we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices of those who
offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are suk buyers will find our stock very satisfactory, and
much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has badly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have exceptional facilities for
obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer are 6-7 inch bulbi, not 5-7 inch, as usually

offered.

6- 7 inch bulbs, 350 to the case, $15.00 per case; ftdl thousand lots, $ 40.00 ptt 1000

7- 9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case. 16.00 per case; full thousand lots, 75.00 per lOOO
9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, 18.00 per case; full thousand Ms, 175.00 per 1000

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties- good, bushy, well-grown plants that will please the
most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots and are^ thoroughly well established and nicely finished.

Nephrolepis Bostoniensis and Piersoni, 6-inch pots $0.50 each

Nephrol^is Elegantissima, Piersoni, Bostoniensis and Harrisii, heavy 8-inch plants . $1.00 to 1.50 each

Thk 1,600-acre nursery which is op-

The visitors were taken over the grounds

the five millions or so of fruit trees.

TO KILL OUT POPLAR SHOOTS.

Can you tell us how to kill poplar
roots in the ground, where they can-
not be dug out? We have dug out the
stumps and all the roots we could get
at, but they keep sprouting up all over
the lawn. A. G. S. C.

The most effectual method would, of

taeuMnp i'bw Review when you wnte

course, be to dig out the roots. As you
do not wish to disturb the lawn, the
next best plan will be to keep the
shoots cut down closely as they appear
above the ground. One season may not
entirely kill them, but it will jreatly
weaken them, and any growths appear-
ing a second season will be much more
feeble. Persistent cutting down is the
surest way eventually to kill out these
or any sprout growths from' trees or
shrubs. C. W.

CONNECTICUT NUESEEYMEN.

The Connecticut Nurserymen's Asso-
ciation met again this year on the
grounds of the Elm City Nursery Co.,
New Haven, Conn., July 26, for the an-
nual summer outing. The day was
])erfect in every respect. The recent
rains made verdure everywhere fresh
and attractive. A special feature at the
nursery, which was a source of uni-
versal interest among the members, is
a collection of rare Japanese plants
which were personally selected by Mr.
Coe last winter in Japan. After jour-
neying through the nursery's fields and
comparing notes of mutual interest, the
members took autos to the west shore,
where they feasted. Later, after a short
business session, the members gave
themselves over generally to the attrac-
tions of the shore.

The Weekly Florists* Review*

AUQUST 3, 1011.

PACinC COAST.

Los Angeles, Cal. — Charles E. Morton,
of the Los Angeles Flower Market,
has returned home after a trip to the
south and east. He spent some time
in New York city and also visited his
brother at Fort McCoy, Fla.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

The continued warm weather has a
tendency to keep business at a low ebb,
with an occasional day that exceeds
running expenses.

All flowers show the ravages of the
season, but carnations are holding up
remarkably well. Sweet peas are a drug
on the market. Gladioli are coming in
nicely, but asters are slow to show
(juality. Rubrums, auratums and longi-
florums are plentiful.

Bose Mrs. Aaron Ward is being tried
extensively for the coming season and
bids fair to be a good yellow for com-
mercial use. Killarney and Double Kil-
larney will be given a more thorough
trial, although they have not been a
success in this section previously.

Various Notes.

A. L. Aabling, of the Aabling Seed Co.,
of Seattle, Wash., is in town.

The seed houses on Front street are
practically deserted. Inventory is the
only thing that keeps them busy.

The florists are busy securing their
coal and wood supplies while the prices
are right and the roads are good.

Max M. Smith has returned from va-
cation at the beach and is ready for the
coming season.

E. R. C.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The weather is even cooler than it
lias been and, from appearances, will
continue so. Business has shown no
improvement in the last few weeks
and everything is as quiet as it is
l)08sible to imagine it. Flowers of
nearly all kinds are overplentiful and
underpriced, and only a small portion of
the daily stock is used. Good roses are a
scarce article, however, and any really
fancy stock brings good prices. With
carnations it is quite the reverse; al-
though many of the growers are chang-
ing their houses at this time, there
is such an abundance of stock that it
is useless to pretend to give quotations.
Outside flowers are a perfect glut and
only a small number of the thousands
of bunches sent into town daily find
any sale. This will not continue long,
as the excess of flowers is now at its
height and the reaction will follow in
a short time.

Various Notes.

Miss L. WoUenburg, of New York,
is on a month 's visit to her old home
in Berkeley. She was formerly in the
decorating trade here and for several
years has been in the same line in the
east.

W. W. Saunders, of Cloverdale, is in
toWn on a short visit. Mr. Saunders

& Co., is visiting the local trade. lie
reports a highly successful trip this
season.

The picnic of the Pacific Coast Hor-
ticultural Society, at San Anselmo, .luly
23, was the most successful outing ever
planned by the association. All the
florists' shops were closed and every-
one connected with the trade, to the
number of about 400, with their wives,
families and friends, attended.

C. E. Lilley, of Santa Cruz, who has
been supplying the trade for many years
w^ith green goods, will enter extensive-
ly into the growing of bulbs for the
flowers for the retail florists.

Most of the stores are short-handed
at present, on account of vacation time,
which is being taken advantage of
in quite a general manner. But still
there seems to be quite enough help
to handle all the trade that is offered
at this time.

I. A. Nyquist, superintendent of the
East Lawn Nurseries, of Sacramento,
is in town.

Frank Pelicano writes from Paris
that he is having a splendid trip and
will stay in Europe for about two
months, visiting the principal places of
interest on the continent. G.

and wa« attended by 250 florists, gar-
deners, nurserymen and amateurs. At
the end of the Stephenson avenue car
line, automobiles were waiting, and in
these the members and their invited
guests were conveyed to the meeting
place, where addresses were made, after
which a luncheon was served in the
big plant house.

The scene of the picnic, the establish-
ment of Dieterich & Turner, is notable
for its high grade of equipment and
cultivation and was inspected with
great interest and appreciation. The
grounds consist of eighteen acres.
More than two acres are under glass
and five acres are under a system of
overhead irrigation.

The principal address of the day was
delivered by Herbert .T. Goudge, vice-
president of the association. His sub-
ject was "Evolution in the PJant
World." A. short talk was also given
by George C. Roeding, president of the
Pacific Coast Association of Nursery-
men, who spoke of the advantages of
California for the horticultural indus-
try. Besides his interests in this coun-
ty, Mr. Roeding owns over .3,000 acres
of nursery in the San Joaquin valley.

COLUMBUS.

The Market.

Trade has been extr-emely quiet here
for the last week or so. On some dayg
there has been no business in anyTIne,
while on other days everybody has been
on the jump with funeral work for a
few hours, perhaps, at a time. If it
were not for funeral work, local flo-
rists might all close their places for
a few weeks. There is some encour-
agement in sight, however, as it will
not be many weeks until we are all
back in the harness again for another
season 's work.

Stock has been of poor quality gen-
erally. Carnations are done for, as
the growers are throwing out the bal-
ance of the old stock, and are replant-
ing. The new stock in some cases is
coming along nicely and in two or three
weeks there will be some new stock on
the market. Koses are of poor quality
and generally short-stemmed, as most
of the stock is from young plants.
Some fine Killarneys, however,- are
shipped in and these find ready sale.
The demand for Beauties is light, with
few on the market. Some good gla-
dioli are coming in and have helped a
great deal during the shortage of other
stock. The aster crop is light and of
poor quality, with short stems. The
aster proposition here is not especially
bright, as some of our best growers
say they are going again in the same
way as in previous seasons.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

With the exception of the last few
warm days, we have enjoyed beautiful
fall weather. The rain cooled the air
and did a world of good to the stock
outdoors. Carnations in the field im-
proved wonderfully and greatly bright-
ened the prospects for good bench stock.
Asters took a .iump for the better and
showed marked improvement in length
of stem. Stock is still scarce, how-
ever, and there is not nearly enough to
go around. The present class of stock
moves in larger quantities and is soon
cleaned up. Gladioli seem to remain a
little scarce and bring a good price.
Peas are spasmodic, but have improved
in quality during the last few days.

Various Notes.

The members of the club are now
arranging for the annual picnic, which
will be held sometime in August. Par-
ticulars will be stated later.

John Kramer, who was married a few
weeks ago, has returned from the wilds
of Canada, where he and his wife spent
a pleasant honeymoon.

It is not known, as yet, just how
many will attend the convention, but a
good representation is expected.

William Weber, of the William Scott
Co.. has been seriously ill for the last
eight weeks. There has not been much
sign of improvement to .date, but the
doctors look for a change for the better
soon.

George McClure & Son report a good
season for landscape work, and it is now
necessary for them to carry a force of
men through the summer.

William Ehman, of Corfu, was in
town to visit the trade last week.

C. Pearl Bethard, of the Ferncliff
Floral Co., has purchased from Charles
W. Unglaub the greenhouses until re-
cently operated by the latter on West
Mulberry street in growing for thp local
retail trade.

The houses opposite the entrance to
Ferncliff cemetery will necessarily have
to be abandoned, owing to the fact that
the land will be required for the park
extension project, and other suitable
land is not now available near the
cemetery.

The houses purchased aggregate 14,-
000 square feet of glass and are
equipped with a Kroeschell boiler and
hot water system. Mr. Bethard will
embark in a line of growing in a meas-
ure new to the Springfield market in
that he will make a specialty of propa-
gating carnation and chrysanthemum
cuttings, which he will dispose of in a
wholesale way both locally and in the
out-of-town markets. Mr. Bethard has
had an ample experience in this and
other lines of floral work and will
doubtless make good in this chosen linei
of endeavor.

Mr. Unglaub will hereafter devote
his entire attention to his large range
of glass on Hillside avenue, where he
has fourteen acres of land and abun-
dant latitude to expand. His product
at these houses consists of carnations,
chrysanthemums, greens and a general
line of stock for the local retail trade.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

August 3, 1011.

MII.WAUKEE.

The Market.

Now that the daily supply of asters
and gladioli is on the increase, condi-
tions for the buyers are a little more
satisfactory. Eoses are coming in more
freely and, with a good supply of lilies,
all orders can again be filled. Business
continues to be good; consequently
there is nothing left worth mentioning.

Various Notes.

Gust Eusch, of Helton & Hunkel Co.,
is spending this week at Fox Lake.
Then, on the advice of his physician, he
will spend about three weeks on the
farm.

John Arnold, on the Port "Washing-
ton road, has the foundation completed
for his new house, which will be large
enough to accommodate another family
besides his own. This necessitates the
removal of the greenhouse which stood
farthest north.

Eoy Currie, of Currie Bros. Co., took
to his cottage on Army Lake this week,
to spend his vacation.

Nic Zweifel, who seldom misses an
S. A. F. convention, planned his trip
this year in the opposite direction. In
company with Mrs. Zweifel, he left last
week for a trip to Alaska, to be gone
about six weeks.

With a good daily supply of roses from
their own plant, the C. C. Pollworth Co.
reports business as keeping up first-rate,

A neat sign in the window of the
Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. reads: "During
July and August, closed on Sundays."
This is a step in the right direction.

Mr, and Mrs. Wm. Edlefsen and Eich-
ard Eilman returned July 28 from their
western trip.

Visitors: H. E. Philpott, Chicago and
Winnipeg; Miss Anna Meyer, manager
of the Capital City Greenhouses store,
Madison; J. F, Harrell, Manistee, Mich.,
and Mrs. Maetzold, Bed Wing, Minn.
E. O.

Cauandaigtta, N. T. — Edward Sick is
doing finely. He recently purchased a
square of ground adjoining his snug
plant and is figuring on more glass to
accommodate his nursery business.

Tyler, Tex. — Jas. Wbitten reports
that trade has been good this year, al-
though June was hotter than for many
years previous. It has rained nearly
every day since July 5, however, and
prospects for a good fall trade are ex-
cellent.

[T£ ON CYCLAMEN LEAVES.

We are forwarding under separate
cover three cyclamen leaves. They
seem to be diseased. We have never
grown any before. We ordered 100 to
try them and they were in this condi-
tion when received. Will you kindly tell
us what to do, or whether there is any
hope of bringing them through f

A. W. F. & S.

The leaves are badly affected with
mite, for which there is no certain cure.
About every imaginable remedy has
been tried for cyclamen mite, with but
partial success. Constant sprayings
with nicotine may relieve the trouble
a little, or you might dip the whole
plant, pot and all, in tobacco water,
but when once the plants are badly at-
tacked the best plan is to throw the
whole batch away, as not only are the
leaves' deformed but the flowers also,
and the plants will be unsalable.

MEALY BUG ON BEGONIAS.

Will you kindly advise me as to
keeping Lorraine begonias free from
mealy bug? Are watering and light
spraying overhead injurious! G. P.

Spraying will not injure the Lor-
raines. In fact, it is the only way in
which you can clean out the bug. A
spray nozzle, properly directed, should
exterminate them. At this season it is
rather dangerous to fumigate with
hydrocyanic acid gas. This would kill
the mealy bug, but unless a really cool
night were selected the plants also
would be likely to suffer. C. W.

Greenhouse Heating.

CONTKABY to expectations, the price of
Pocahontas coal has gone up instead of
down. It is now quite a little higher
than it was two weeks ago. Even higher
prices are to be expected.

SuBSCEiBEBS are invited to write the
editor of the Heating Department, de-
scribing their troubles or asking any
questions regarding the heating of green-
houses, the piping or boiler-room. But
please do not ask us to make a choice of
apparatus for you. Each article adver-
tised in this department of The Review
is good, and the advertisers sell them on
their merits.

GAS OB COAL AS FUEL?

Is gas for fuel a success in growing
plants! Would gas at 25 cents per
thousand feet be cheaper than three-
quarter Goshen coal at $2.60 per tonf
"We burn three cars of this coal during
the firing period each year in this
Ohio climate. What is a fair price to
pay for gas? H. & C.

While gas is fatal to plants if al-
lowed to get into the houses, it can be
used to good advantage if care is taken
to prevent the gas from coming in
contact with the plants. At the prices
named, coal would be cheaper than
gas so far as their heating value is
concerned, but if the cost of stoking
is considered the gas will be less ex-
pensive. Gas can seldom be obtained
for less than 25 cents per thousand
feet.

on one side and house No. 4 on the
other side, to 60 degrees in zero weath-
er? All these houses have glass in
one end to within three feet of the
ground. We shall use low pressure
steam for heating. Our location is
southern Indiana. M. A. B.

For house No. 1 use two 2-inch flows
and six 1-inch returns. In house No.
2 use two 2-inch flows and five or six
1-inch returns. Using 2-inch pipe for
returns as well as flows in house No. 3,
two flows and three returns will be re-
quired. Two 2-inch flows and four 2-
inch returns will be required in house
No. 4. There should be two 2-inch
flows and five 2-inch returns in house
No. 5. It will not be necessary to
use anything larger than 2 1^ -inch flow
pipes for any of the houses.

BETUBNma THE CONDENSATION.

We have an old-style heating system,
with a wet return and with no checks
on the lines, and should like to know
about installing a trap. It is a gravity
system, with the boiler in a pit. Would
a check on the main return to the
boiler work? We have 20,000 feet of
glass and should like to know what size
of trap would be needed. L. B.

If there is any difficulty about re-
turning the water to the boiler by the
gravity system, a steam trap should be
installed. It is always well to have a
check valve on the main return when
several houses are heated from one
boiler. As to the size of trap you
would need, the various forms of traps
differ in their capacities. It will be
well to consult the manufacturers who
are advertising in The Eeview. In
writing to them, state your amount of
radiating surface and the steam pres-
sure carried.

does not give satisfactory results. One
of them, 20x75, is piped with two 3-
inch flows and ten 2-inch returns.
Another is a small house, ten feet by
thirty-eight feet nine inches, and seven
feet high. For it a 2-inch flow is taken
from one of the 3-ineh pipes in the
house 20x75; it contains five 1%-inch
flows and three 1^-inch returns. The
temperature in this house went as low
as 40 degrees last winter. The third
house is thirty-three feet ten inches
by thirty-four feet six inches, and ten
feet high. It is piped as follows:
Twenty-eight 1-inch pipes, connected
with a 2-inch manifold and a 2-inch
pipe to the boiler. This house requires
a temperature of 50 degrees at night.
The small house should have a tem-
perature of 60 degrees at night.

E. 8.

For the new house, twenty-nine feet
two inches wide, use two 2i4;-inch flow
pipes and twelve 2-inch returns. The
boiler should heat all of the housed
easily. Not only should all of the flues
be kept open, but it would be better
if the steam space were filled with
flues also. The plan suggested would
be dangerous.

The amount of radiation in the other
houses is about right, but in the house
thirty-eight feet nine inches long it
would be better to use two 2-inch flows,
with three IMt-inch and three 1%-inch
returns. In the house thirty-three feet
ten inches by thirty-four feet six
inches, use two 2i^t-inch flows and
either eighteen l^^-inch or fifteen 2-
inch returns.

The Market.

Two or three good, soft rains, lasting
for several hours each, have resulted in
material improvement in vegetation
throughout this state and everthing is
showing to better advantage than a
fortnight ago, but the growth had been
seriously retarded and the various crops
will be two or more weeks late.

Carnations are practically out of the
local market and the few that are
seen are poor. Asters are coming in
slowly and are in fair supply, whites
being rather short. They bring 1 to
2 cents at wholesale. Gladioli are be-
coming more popular every year, princi-
pally in the light shades. A fine strain
of deep red was offered the last fort-
night, but practically went begging.

Will It Cost You $260 or $1200?

€LStudy our illustrations — see how a certain greenhouse man paid $260.00
for his boiler and fuel during the winter — while his neighbor tried
to save money by buying a " cheap " (?) boiler and sank [$1200.00.

The man who spent $260.00 used our QIBLIN
"Standard" Greenhouse Boiler.

It is the biggest saver you can put into your
greenhouse.

You save money every year you use our
QIBLIN ''Standard" Qreenhouse Boiler, by
reducing your fuel consumption, repairs and
labor cost to the minimum.

Nota"Cheap"OirtBt

Although we offer an extra discount of 25 per cent
(in addition to our liberal regular discount), for the
purpose of introducinif our boiler in your neixhbor-
hood, this is not a "cheap" outfit. The price is right
for the srrade and quality of workmanship we put
into It— the very best.

You want a boiler that requires very little
attention and leaves you free to devote your
valuable time to more important things. Nei-
ther you nor your men relish getting up at mid-
night, 3 a. m. and sunrise to feed a hungry
heater.

The GIBLIN "Standard" requires atten-
tion only once in twelve hours in ordinary
weather.

It economizes on repairs because of its un-
usually sturdy construction. All of the castings
are tested at pressure of 65 pounds to the square
inch— far more than they will ever undergo in
actual use. Our boiler will last a lifetime, and
once you've bought it your heating worries are
off your mind for once and all. Can you say
the same about your present boiler?

and start saving by using a GlBLlN <' Standard"?

The Three Nain Burnham Economy Points

THE CROSS riRE TRAVEL between each section leads
^^^^■■■"■■^■■^^^■^■^^ the burning gases to the
side flue openings between each section on each side of
the boiler. This travel, because of its greatly increased
surfaces, is a large factor in the Burnham's economy.

THE SIDE FLUE OPENINGS ^^^ t^e burning gases up
^^^^™-^^^^^^^^^^^~ between each section on
each side of the boiler, making each section equally
efficient. We know of no other greenhouse boiler made
this way. Boilers with the flue openings at the back
cause the burning gases to draw^ to the rear oi
boiler, leaving the front section very much less efficient.
It's the direct heat coming directly in contact with
the direct lire surfaces that counts. That's the
Burnham's way.

THE BACK AND FORTH FIRE TRAVEL i° the Bumham

"™^^"— ■^"■■-■■^■'^"^ is three times

back and forth the boiler's length. Think of it— three
times its length! And still the draft is quick and the
boiler is a free burner. This feature alone gives the
Burnham a large number more square feet of surface
than the next best boiler in the field. It's the long fire
travel that counts. The longer the fire travel, the shorter
the coal bilL No cast iron greenhouse boiler has as long
a fire travel as the Burnham.

CAUTION ^^ ^^^ ^*® ^^ astray by any concern who claim
^^^^^ their boiler has a three times back and forth
fire travel like the Burnham. It's not so! Their three
times travel is in all the boiler, while the Burnham's
is three times on each side— really six times in all,
figuring their way.

A BIT OF ADVICE ^^^^ know just as well now as a
^"^^~'"^"^"^~ month from now that you need a new
boiler. Then why don't you order it now? What's the
use of waiting till the last minute and then expecting us to
turn over heaven and earth to deliver it P. D. Q.? Order
it now and we will test it up now— pack the parts now,
mark up the sections now and set it aside now— all ready
for delivery by the very day you want it.

That's the common-sense way.

Do it that way !

AN OPPORTUNITY ^^^^ ^e yours at the Baltimore Con-
— ^— ^ vention to see this very boiler. Go

and do it. Throw all the stones you want to at it. After
you are through, Usten to what the man in charge will
have to say in a quiet, " true- as-preaching " way. Any-
thing he says is so, and the boiler will back up his say-so.
We stand behind the boiler with over a half a century of
backing.

FITTSBUSa.

The Market.

There has been no change in trade
conditions since last week. Stock may-
have been a little more plentiful, but
good flowers are still scarce.

Various Notes.

Quite a number of people are away
on vacations.

George Marshall, of the Pittsburg Cut
Flower Co., is on a farm in Butler
county.

James Higgins, of Mrs. E. A. Will-
iams' force, with his wife and a num-
ber of friends, is taking the lake trip
to Duluth.

Vacation notes of Eandolph & Mc-
Clements' force: Miss McKinley is
visiting friends at Niles, O.; Murray
McGrew and wife are in New York
state; John Madden goes to Canada;
Ed Weaver will visit Cleveland, Buf-
falo and the Thousand Islands; Miss
Poster, the cashier, will take an auto
tour to Conneaut, Buffalo and Niagara,
and will spend the balance of her
time at Georgian Bay.

A. W. Smith, Jr., spends his week
ends with his family at the Assembly
grounds, Chautauqua.

Jarve Smith takes his in spells at
his greenhouse and farm at Canfield, O.

W. B. Hall, of A. W. Smith Co.,
takes his vacation at Delmar Farms.
Billy Arnold, of the same firm, is spend-
ing his at the Pittsburg baseball park.

W. A. Clarke and family are at
Chautauqua liake.

Ed McCallum has been taking week-
end trips wherever there is water.

Harry Langhans, of H. L. Blind &
Bros., is spending his time on the lakes.

The Florists' Club picnic committee
has announced the date as Tuesday,
August 8, at Keystone park, on the B.
& O. railroad. The committee is mak-
ing such arrangements as will guar-
antee all a good time, and as more
than the usual amount of interest is
being taken, no one should miss it.

The florists' baseball clubs have been
busy. The A. W. Smith team defeated
the Cut Flower Co. team July 25, 20
to 3. The McCallum Co. team defeated
the A. W. Smiths July 27, 6 to 4. The
Randolph & McCIements store team de-
feated the greenhouse team, 13 to 2.
The team of the Pittsburg Cut Flower
Co. defeated the Randolph & McCIem-
ents team July 28, 10 to 6. The clubs
all have games arranged for next week
and then look out for the big games
at the picnic.

Candidates for the convention are
slow in showing up. The B. & O. rail-
road rate is $13.05 for the round trip,
which includes the charge for validat-
ing the ticket at Baltimore. Tickets
will be on sale from August 11 to 16,
good until August 22, with stop-over
privileges at Harpers Ferry and Wash-
ington. Trains leave Pittsburg at 8:10
a. m., 1:15 p. m., 6 p. m. and 10 p. m.
Those going will please notify the
Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., as it is de-
sired to have the party travel together
and a special car can be secured if
twenty-five or more are going.

Hoo-Hoo.

Dorothy, N. J., July 21. — A heavy
hail storm broke 1,000 lights of glass
and destroyed a quantity of chrysan-
themum plants at the greenhouses of
Henry K. Lewis.

^'HAMILTON-MADE"
GREENHOUSE HOSE

anteed.

I

What our mark on hose means

"Hamilton-Made" means superior quality in general and on©
thing in particular* The "one thing in particular" is this:

On every length of "Hamilton-Made" hose you will notice a
mark not found on any other hose — "Guaranteed 750 pounds
pressure," or 700 or 500, etc., according to the grade. On our
"Hamilton" brand every length has been tested under pressure
of 750 pounds to the square inch. Any piece showing defect is
rejected. 750 pounds is five times the usual pressure in
steam boiiers. Think of it ! Do you wonder that this hose
is strong; that it is stiff and will not kink ?

"Hamilton" brand, our highest grade hose, selling at 25 cents
a foot, will last three to five years under ordinary greenhouse use;
it will stand three or four times as much wear as common hose.
As often happens, the liigli grade is the ciieapest*

Under the same brands and of the same excellent qoalitlea, we make
Hose (or Snction, for Steam Service and for Spraying.

How to get the best hose that
is made

COME jobbers in Florists' Supplies do not sell
"^ the highest-grade Greenhouse hose. They
argue that everybody wants low-priced hose.
We know better, for we know that bur stiff,
strong, tough "Hamilton" brand hose is really
the cheapest of all, and that many wise buy-
ers will be glad to get it. We therefore make
this offer to all who cannot buy it of a dealer :

If your dealer does not keep It, -we will
deliver to you anywhere in the United
States, PKEPAID. 50-foot lenKths of
»4-inoh "HASIILTON" brand, onr hish-
est crade Greenhouse hose, complete
with standard brass couplings, for the
recrular price. §12.50 KACH LENGTH.

This splendid hose stands a pretmire (f 750
pounds to the square incli, and while It is
our blithest-priced Oreenhou»e hose. It lasts so
long that it is really the cheapest hose mad*.

I( hose of anch extremely high resistance is
not required, we will send 34lnch KENMORE
(guaranteed 650 pounds) at $10.50. or 34-inch

An exceptionally high grade hose manufactured

with a woven jacket insertion instead of cotton
duck, and with specially selected rubber^in the inner
tube and cover.' j

The woven jacket construction makes'a stronger
hose than can be obtained from cotton duck, and I
absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening]
at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on
cotton duck. " This construction also gives a more
flexp)le hose and reduces the possibility of kinking.

"Magic" Hose is guaranteed to stand a pressure
of 500 pounds per square inch, although its bursting ,
pressure is far in excess ot this.

CUCUMBEBS IN FRAMES.

Please give cultural directions for
growing cucumbers in hotbeds and cold-
frames, when started in the green-
house April 1. C. A. P.

Get them into 4-inch pots before
placing them in the frames. Add plen-
ty of well rotted manure to the soil in
the frames, as cucumbers are gross
feeders. A couple of plants are suffi-
cient for each sash. Keep abundantly
watered and close up early in the after-
noon, with plenty of moisture. After
June 1 the sashes can be removed, or
as early as you get warm, settled
weather. You can hardly overwater
the plants, and liquid manure in addi-
tion is helpful. Pinch the plants once
or twice while the shoots are yet
young, to make them branch. For
green or black fly, spray with tobacco
water or scatter tobacco dust freely
among them. The foregoing instruc-
tions refer to the White Spine variety
of cucumber. The long English sorts
must have sashes kept over them all
the time and be well shaded. They
will also need looking over once a
week, so as to have shoots stopped and
surplus growths removed. C. W.

NEW OBLEANS.

Claude L. Ory, the new president of
the New Orleans Horticultural Society,
is a native of this city, a stepson of the
late H. Menard, who was one of the
local pioneers among florists. At pres-
ent he is mans^ger of the estate, a wide-
awake, hustling business man, well
liked by his colleagues and by all who
come in contact with him.

Miss Katie Eehm, one of our best
floral artists, accompanied by her
nieces, the Misses Maitre, Florella and
Nola Virgin, left recently for a month 's
stay at Asheville, N. C.

C. W. Eichling left the city July 20
for a month's stay in one of the moun-
tain resorts near Asheville, N, C.

Richard Steckler and family, accom-
panie(P by Miss Edna Steckler, eldest
daughter of Joseph Steckler, have re-
turned from an extensive business and
pleasure trip to Milwaukee, Chicago,
New York and Philadelphia.

A visit by the writer to the immense
grounds of the Metairie Eidge Nursery-
proved to be a highly interesting one.
Under the personal guidance of the
president of the company, Harry Pap-
worth, the newly planted rose houses
were first visited. The large stock,
comprising the best standard varieties,
is in a perfect condition. Several hun-
dred novelties are planted for trial.
Harry Dressel, the grower, deserves
much credit for his skill and arduous
work. Next came several houses of
chrysanthemums, among which was a
new collection from E. D. Smith, of
Adrian, Mich. Finer stock would be
hard to find in this section. A large
lot of poinsettia cuttings was newly
potted, and several thousand cuttings
of various shrubs were rooting. Palms,
ferns, crotons and other foliage plants
are in a fine condition. The same can
be said of the entire outdoor stock, such
as roses, shrubbery, trees, etc. Several
thousand oranges, grafted lately on Cit-
rus trifoliata, are doing finely. Several
large beds were planted with Lilium
Harrisii and L. giganteum for outdoor
cultivation, and there is no doubt that
good results will follow, because it has
been proven of late that both varieties
acclimatize here without failure.

This is bat one of the
examples of the way the
Skinner System of Irri-
gation gets maximum ef-
ficiency oat of your soil

Another Instance — John R. Davis, Bartow, Fla., says:
"On every plot that has been installed, the first crop has
paid more than twice the cost of the entire system.
Again — (From the U. S. Department of Agricultural
Bulletins, No. 167.) Henry A. Dreer, of Philadelphia,
showed a gain of 5750.00 from 1 and 1-10 acres of
fiowers and strawberries after he installed irrigation.
Can you afford to be without the Skinner System?

Investigate this wonderful new irrig^ation today. It

will mean double the crops with one-third the labor

— with no risk from drought.

The spray from the Skinner System descends in a

mist form — cannot cake the ground, or bruise the

tenderest foliage. It Is a perfect rainfall — under

your absolute control at all times.

Write today for these six, free booka. They contain
complete information on modern irrigation methods— both
greenliouse and outdoor, and letters of praise from Grow-
ers and Florists all over the country. Write today to

S THE RETAIL

FLORIST..,

YOU'LL AGEEE.

You'll agree, says a man who visits
retail florists, that competition has al-
ways been the mainspring and back-
bone of progress in most lines of busi-
ness. Not so with the florists— not at
all — for the simple reason that florists
take great pride in. their well kept sur-
roundings, which is an indication of
progressiveness.

It is and always has been a notice-
able fact throughout the country that
through the present and recent summer
months advantage has been taken of
the opportunity of renovating and
brightening the stores and greenhouses,
not only in the cities but in the smaller
towns, and in a majority of cases you
will find the flower stores the prettiest,
not only on the outside but in the in-
terior, of all the stores in the town.

THE WBEATH.

The wreath on the easel is a popular
form of design in the south, and the
piece shown in the illustration was
made in the store of Hugh Scales, City
Hall building, Birmingham, Ala., by
H. A. Slawsen, a graduate of retail
stores at Utica, N. Y.

A PEW SUMMER WINDOWS.

A Column Decked with Ageratums.

Set together, as one, four columns
such as may have been used for the

ous article on this same subject, or
use one large, round column. Such a
column may be easily manufactured,
with a circular piece of wood for the
top and bottom and possibly one for
the middle. Around the edges nail
laths or strips lengthwise. Cover the
skeleton column with several layers
of cheesecloth, stretched tight.

On the top of the column place a
round basket of blue ageratums and
long, light smilax sprays. From the
same point suspend a group of smaller
ageratum baskets with hangers of
No. 5 or No. 7 ribbon, to match the
■color of the flowers. Let the group
be irregularly arranged, some of the
baskets hanging low, some high and
others at different points between and
well around the column, but more
toward the top. Set the column in a
field of marguerites, either potted
plants or cut blooms.

A Pond Bordered by Gladioli.

That gladioli seldom receive the ap-
preciation which they deserve is dud
to the poor .arrangement so often given
them. How many times they are to be
seen crowded into jars where not even
one complete statk can be seen, all
colors together, no respect paid to the
differences between scarlet and crimson
or salmon and violet pink! No wonder
these royal beauties refuse to look
pleasant. The next insult heaped upon

them is that of cluttering them with
any kind of finely cut toliage, alto-
gether at variance with their own
sword-like leaves.

What, then, will be a creditable
showing for this queenly flower?
Whatever else is done or not done,
give it space. One of its ideal settings
is water with a few stones. Lay out
the window so that gladioli will appear
to be growing near the edge of a pond.
One extra fine specimen can be seen
first, beside a great rock, and after-
ward a troop of them, with carefullj^
blended colors, the group broadening
as the space will allow. This arrange-
ment is one of the ways which can
easily be fixed up with a cement under-
floor. If the pond can not be provided-,
use a mirror instead. Cover the edges
with moss and gravel and allow a few
stalks of the gladioli to lean over and
reflect themselves. This will relieve
any stilted look which may have crept
in. Have a few cat-tails, rushes or
coarse grass blades among the gladioli,
on the edge of the pond.

side of the stump. Over toward a far
side of the window make a long panel
border of the zinnias in free attitudes.
One of those mantel pans suggested
some time ago will be just the thing for
this panel. For the groundwork lay
on a layer of bark of the same kind)
as is found in the basket or stump.

A Hillside of Phlox.

Your window may be a hillside of
phlox for a week or so. According to
the size and shape of the window, raise
a knoll by packing moss around a large
jar of phlox and several other jars soft
around conveniently, either to the rear
or on the opposite side from the mirror;
so that the rise will be reflected. Plant
the rise and the space below with
similar jars of phlox, having the stalks
well separated, and cover the moss with
green to look like grass. Introduce
some tall grasses here and there. Here,
again, occurs the advantage of a double
floored window, for all these schemes
can be set below the line of the glass
and there the pots and jars will be
safely out of view. Leave a half con-
cealed path through from the rear, so
that one may reach any part of thef
window without walking over the deco-
ration or pulling it out. Quite an as-
sortmeint of colors can be introduced,
so long as they continue harmonious,
but let the colors be carefully graded
and unequally proportioned. Break
the uniformity of the stretch by a find
specimen fern or Sprengeri.

BASEBALL FOB PXTBLICITY.

One of the unusual ways of advertis-
ing a flower store is that adopted by
Kingsley & Seeger, at St. Louis, who
are proprietors of the business known
as the Mullanphy Florist. They uni-
form a baseball team to carry the store
name. It is quite a common practice
in the larger cities for business con-
cerns that cater to the trade of young
men to back teams to carry the firm's
name on the baseball diamonds of the

city and surrounding towns. Frequent-
ly a big bank or other business house
will supply uniforms to a baseball nine
composed ostensibly of employees, but
really including outsiders, but so far
as known this is the first time a florist
has sought this kind of publicity.
Kingsley & Seeger invested $150 in the
attractive suits for their team, dec-
orating the shirt fronts with the trade-
mark style of name used on all their
business stationery. The manager, of
course, is close to the firm and the
players are required to store its uni-
form with the team's backers, who
keep them clean and neat, so that they
can be protected from loss and also can
see to it that the team is a creditable
representative.

French Bulbs.

Boman hyacinths and Paper "White
narcissi are among the bulbs due short-
ly to arrive. These are useful, espe-
cially when the chrysanthemum season
is on the wane. It is easy to flower
Paper Whites for Thanksgiving if they
are placed in flats as soon as received,
and Boman hyacinths, while they do
not flower quite so early, can be
bloomed without trouble for Christmas.
Flats containing four to five inches of
soil should be used for these French
bulbs. It is commonly said that any
old soil is good enough for bulbs. Do
not believe any such nonsense. If you
want good bulbs of any kind, you
must have new compost, with sufficient
food in it to supply the roots with
what they need. Two parts of loam,
one part of old, well-decayed cow or
horse manure and some sharp sand
make a good compost. Where mush-
rooms are grown, the old material can
take the place of the other manures
named.

Mignonette.

Early in August the early sowing of
mignonette can be made; either solid
beds or raised benches will answer. If
the latter are used, be sure there are
no heating pipes below, for mignonette
loves a cool, moist bottom. A com-
post such as is used for carnations or
mums will grow excellent mignonette.
If the soil has been in the benches for
some time and has been scratched over
two or three times to kill out weak
seedlings, so much the better. It is
important to have a first-class strain
of seed, such as is offered by a num-
ber of the leading seedsmen. Do not
sow ordinary seed, or the spikes will
not be what you would like to see.
Sow the seed several together in little
batches, fourteen or fifteen inches apart
each way. It is easy to thin them
out later, leaving the strongest.

The first spikes thrown up by mi-
gnonette do not amount to much and
they come too early to be of any com-
mercial value. Pinch them back when
the flowers start to open. This causes
the plants to branch out from near the

ground, and these shoots will give
strong spikes through the early part
of the winter. The finest mignonette
spikes are always produced in the cold-
est months, and February sees this
plant at its best. Mignonette must
have a cool house; 40 degrees at night
should be the winter minimum, and it
wants all possible light and plenty of
water at the roots.

Bambler Boses.

Pot-grown ramblers will now have
long, strong canes. These are the plants
par excellence for early forcing. The
pots should be pluqfged, the shoots
staked up and the plants located where
the hose can be freely used among
them. Where stock is being grown
planted out, it will also pay to give
it a little care. The pink ramblers
have a prostrate habit under natural

conditions. In order to ripen up the
wood well, therefore, a stout stake
should be driven into the ground for
each plant and the best shoots loosely
tied up to it. Many plants make far
too many shoots, and as four to five
are all that is necessary, it is better
to cut out all the weaker ones. The
ideal way to grow these ramblers is
^ongside a lightly constructed fence,
so that the shoots can be tied up and
get the full benefit of sunshine, air
and light, to insure hard, well-ripened
wood.

Transplanting Seedlings.

August is an excellent month for the
transplanting of many seedlings. We
usually are favored with showers at
intervals and every advantage should
be taken of such occasions to prick
out seedlings of such plants as digitalis,
hollyhocks, Canterbury bells, larkspur,
aquilegias, lupines, rockets, coreopsis,
gaillardias, sweet williams and any
other hardy perennials or biennials,
which should go out in beds or
nursery rows, and which, when kept
constantly cultivated, will make a
really surprising growth before the
end of October. Place the strong
growing varieties, which include holly-
hocks, rockets, coreopsis and gaillar-
dias, a foot part; six to eight inches
will suffice for the majority of the
other varieties. No florist will go far
wrong in stocking up heavily on this
class of plants, as the demand for them
is ever on the increase.

COLD STOBAOE LILIES.

What treatment shall I give cold

After potting, place the pots in a
dark position, such as a cellar floor,
where no sun wiU reach them. If no
cellar is at disposal, a shed or cold'
frame will answer well. If a frame is
used, cover the pots with board shut-
ters. Water well after potting, then
more sparingly until the pots are nicely
filled with roots. When the growths
are three to four inches long, the plants
may be put on a bench in a house with,

ANNUAL LUPINES FOR WINTEE.

for winter blooming! W, M. R.

The annual pink lupines, sown now,
will be in flower for Christmas. The
varieties of mutabilis take longer and
would be better in January and Feb-
ruary. If you sow the latter in Octo-

ber, they will give a fine crop in March,
the spikes then being much stronger
than in winter. A night temperature
of 45 to 48 degrees and a compost of
two parts loam and one part well rot-
ted cow manure are to their liking,
Never grow them at all close, or they
will damp off. Crow cool and airy for
best results. C. W.

ANTIBBHINUMS.
Can you give me any information
about the culture of snapdragons, or
antirrhinums f Where can I get some
plants? J. E. B.

Antirrhinums, or snapdragons, as they
are commonly called, are becoming in-
creasingly popular each year for forcing
purposes. They have for many years
been recognized as valuable for bed-
ding-out purposes, and anyone who has
seen them growing at Bar Harbor or
any of the other popular Maine water-
ing places, or along the Massachusetts
north shore, must admit that they are
among the most effective of bedding-
out plants for massing effects, and when
kept supplied with water they bloom
practically the whole summer. Most
of these plants are raised from seed,
but, to be absolutely sure of the color,
specially fine sorts are propagated from
cuttings.

If you wish to grow snapdragons

under glass for winter or spring flower-
ing, you will find them an excellent and
profitable crop to follow chrysanthe-
mums, or to fill any empty benches any
time between October and April. For
early flowering, through November and
December, it is necessary to bench the
plants about the end of August. For
this purpose you should purchase plants
from some one of the specialists who
advertise these plants in The Review.
Secure plants, if possible, in 3-inch or
3 V^ -inch pots. For later planting strong
seedlings or rooted cuttings will do
well. If you do not want to plant out
before the end of the mum season, you
can purchase seeds and get strong
plants in 3-inch pots before that time.
Buy only the tall-growing varieties and
not in mixtures. You will find pink,
pure white, yellow and scarlet the best
sellers, probably in the order named.

For soil any compost, such as you
would use for mums, roses, carnations
or violets, will suit snapdragons. They
will grow in a temperature anywhere
from 40 to 50 degrees at night. I find
thev do best with a minimum of 48 to
50 degrees in winter. Plant a foot
apart each way if the stock was raised
from cuttings. For plants from seed,
which are a trifle more vigorous, 12x15
inches will answer. Pinch back the
shoot as it pushes up to flower and al-
low four to five shoots to start from
near the ground. Rub out all weak,
useless growths. Three or four good
spikes to a plant will pay you better
than three times that number of in-
ferior ones. Stake the plants to keep
them erect and rub off the side growths
on the flowering stems. Feed liberally
when in active growth and spray or fu-
migate for green aphis, which is rather
partial to these plants. Never, how-
ever, fumigate with hydrocyanic acid
gas, as snapdragons are' hurt by even
a weak dose of it.

Antirrhinums make an excellent Me-
morial day crop and are a splendid
crop to follow carnations with. By
benching from 3%-inch pots at the end
of March, you are sure of a splendid
cut at the end of May. Always grow
your plants in pots, rather than flats, as
they and ten weeks' stocks are hard
to lift with a ball of earth. C. W.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

Odontoglossum Grande.

While most of the odontoglossums,
owing to our torrid summers, are diffi-
cult subjects to handle with any degree
of satisfaction, the well known baby
orchid, 0. grande, succeeds quite well
in an ordinary greenhouse. In summer
it does particularly well hung near the
glass below the ventilators. It seems
to love an abundance of fresh air, but
should not be exposed to the direct
rays of the sun. The new bulbs are
now being formed, and the plants,
which grow especially well in small,
well drained pans, must be liberally
supplied with water. A suitable com-
post is one consisting of rather soft
osmunda fiber, mixed with a little fresh
chopped sphagnum. It is hardly safe
to top-dress with growing sphagnum,
as this makes an ideal lurking place for
small shell snails and these will create
havoc among the flower spikes when
they appear, which will be in a few
weeks' time.

Lycaste Skinneri.

Lycaste Skinneri is an old orchid and
not often seen in good condition. It
is of easy culture and, when reasonably
well grown, is far superior to many
of the newer and more costly varieties
of orchids which are being constantly
placed on the market. With cymbidi-
ums and cypripediums, Lycaste Skin-
neri is the most lasting of orchids,
as the flowers in winter will keep
in good condition on the plants
for from eight to twelve weeks.
It is a terrestrial orchid and grows
better in an equal mixture of fibrous
loam and fern fiber than in one of pure
fern fiber. Pots are the best receptacles
to grow it in and a winter minimum
temperature of 50 to 55 degrees will
be found about right.

The plants are fine for room decora-
tions and the flowers will not go to
sleep, as is the wont of cattleyas and
dendrobes in warm, dry rooms. While
the old L. Skinneri is handsome, the
pure white L. Skinneri alba is one of
the most chaste of white orchids. I
saw a recent photograph of a plant
of the pure white form, carrying twelve
and nineteen flowers, respectively, from
two new bulbs. What a treasure such
plants as these would be in winter
where orchid flowers are in demand!
This, however, is an old orchid. Nine
growers out of ten do not know it, but,
flowering as it does in February and
March, it is worthy of a little more
attention.

Mlltonia Vezillarla.

Any necessary repotting for Miltonia
vexillaria should have been completed
before now. Keep the plants in a

cool house, where they can be shaded
by means of blinds or lath shadings
from direct sunshine. Plenty of venti-
lation can be given night and day; only
on cool nights need the ventilators be
lowered at all. After repotting, water-
ing must be done with extreme caution;
otherwise the new roots, just starting,
as well as the tender growths, may rot.
Thrips are partial to miltonias; hence,
in order to keep the plants absolutely
clean, it is necessary to dip, sponge or
spray them with a nicotine solution,
fir tree oil or Aphine once a week. Do
not spray them unless sure that the
plants will be quite dry before night.

Trapping Cockroaches.

While fire heat is at its minimum,
these gentry are less in evidence than
in winter. They are in their element
crawling near the steam and hot water
pipes and I have never seen a house,
cellar or pit too hot for them. Some
new places do not know cockroaches,
but will eventually make their ac-
qiiaintance, as many of us have done
years ago. They work at night, are
extremely nimble-footed and not easy
to catch. They are not easy to poison,
but can be readily trapped by pouring
a little molasses into wide mouthed jars
and sinking the jars to the brim
around their haunts. Stale bacon also
acts as a powerful magnet for them.
Once in the jars, they cannot escape
and twenty or more may be caught in a
jar in a single night.

I read not long ago an article by an
orchid specialist who had been in the

habit of staying up nights to try to
kill cockroaches. He stated that he
had only seen a single specimen dead
from eating poison, but if he will try
the jar method of capture he will be
able to sleep nights and count cock-
roach corpses by scores. Summer ia
the time to destroy these roaches, for
just as soon as we begin to apply fire
heat their work of destruction begins.

STOCKS FOB WINTER BLOOM.

Will you inform me whether it i»
too late now to plant stock seed for
winter blooming? C. G. J. & S.

Sow seed of giant ten weeks', White
Column, Pink Column, Beauty of Nice,,
or any of the special varieties used for
forcing purposes, about the end of Au-
gust. Pot off singly when of sufficient
size, and bench before the pots become
too much matted with roots. Stocks-
are not a particularly profitable mid-
winter crop. The call for them is not
robust and the plants themselves do not
flower as they do in late winter or early-
spring. For Memorial day they are a
splendid crop and they pay better then
than at any other season. C. W.

COAI. ASHES IN BENCH SOIL.

Are finely sifted coal ashes, mixed in
the soil, deleterious to plant life! I
have a rather stiff soil to contend with
and one much inclined to cake after
watering. I have used the ashes in
the same soil in the garden and noticed
no ill effects, while as an agent for
pulverizing the soil they have proved
a success. Can I use them on the
benches for the same purpose, without
injury to the plants? I am using all
the wood and tobacco stem ashes I can
get, but the supply is limited. The
carnations were planted about two
months ago in the benches and I ex-
pect to have the house built and the
glass over them in August. The soil,
even in the open, shows a tendency to
form green mold. Would you recom-
mend the use of a certain amount of
air-slaked lime, and, if so, how much?

W. S. C.

You will find the coal ashes not at
all injurious to your plants, and, as you
state in your letter, you will find them
valuable in making your soil porous.
Your experience with them in your gar-
den should be a safe guide in this mat-
ter. I am inclined to think that if you
get your soil more porous by adding
the ashes, you will have no trouble with
the green mold which is troubling you
now. If, however, it does not disap-
pear, you can safely use air-slaked lime.
Sprinkle a handful halfway across a
5-foot bed, scratch it into the surface
and then water it in well. A. F. J. B.

DEAD LEAVES AFTER BENCHINa.

Enclosed you will find some leaves of
newly set White Perfection carnation
plants. The leaves begin drying at the
tip and dry right back to the base. If
you can give us any help on this we
shall be obliged. M. & J.

The specimens forwarded showed no
signs of disease, but appeared to have
been badly stung by insects, such as
thrips or aphis. The transferring to
the houses might cause the leaves to
dry more than they would if the plants
were left undisturbed, but White Per-
fection is usually so clean a grower and
is so easily reestablished that we are
surprised to see any such trouble un-
less the plants were badly mishandled.
Two weeks ago we planted a bed of
about 2,000 plants of this variety, and
there are practically no dead leaves on
them — at least not enough to make it
necessary to clean them before putting
on the supports.

I would advise you to pick off the
dead leaves, as they would decay later
and possibly cause leaf -spot. Then give
the plants a heavy application of Bor-
deaux mixture. After a week or so
start spraying them regularly with one
of the tobacco extracts, applying it
once or twice each week, as the case
seems to warrant. If the plants are in
bad condition you would perhaps do
well to throw them out and replant
with new, healthy plants. You could,
of course, nurse them along and per-
haps restore them to normal health, but
by the time you got them into good
shape it would be late in the season
and a good part of the season's cut
would be lost. A. F. J. B.

CHEMICALS IN COMPOST HEAP.

I should like to get your opinion of
my compost heap, which is intended for
flowers in general, but for carnations
in particular. The compost consists of
thirteen two-horse loads of cow ma-
nure, with lots of sand in it; four loads
of leaf-mold, 600 pounds of phosphate
and 200 pounds of high-grade potash.
It has been turned over twice during
the two months in which it has been
piled up. The land on which I intend
to grow the flowers is a sandy loam,
on which good horse manure was used
two months ago. There is a crop of

cowpeas on it now. Some mums now
growing on the land seem to do well.
L. A. D.

Without knowing anything about
your soil, or the quantity of soil you
put this fertilizer into, I can give you
no opinion as to what results you may
expect from it. We usually confine
ourselves to cattle or stable manures
when preparing our soil for the benches,
adding other fertilizers as they are
needed later in the season. This is a
much safer method than to mix with
the soil a lot of chemical manures in a
haphazard way. A chemist might ad-
vise you correctly on this subject, if
you will submit to him a sample of the
soil. A. F. J. B.

TWENTIETH CENTUEY.

The accompanying illustration shows
one of the early planted carnation
houses of the St. Clair I'loral Co., Belle-
ville, 111., with the proprietor and as-
sistants also appearing in the picture.
The variety here planted is Twentieth
Century. This is a seedling raised on
the place, which has been grown for
five years. It is the result of a cross
of Lawson and Nelson Fisher, having
the Lawson color, long, strong stems

been benched, to be grown exclusively
for cut blooms for local retail trade.
There is no present intention of dis-
seminating the variety.

PBOFAQATING SNAPDRAOONS.

"Would it be too late now to take
cuttings of snapdragons and what sort
of soil and temperature should they
have when planted? W. M. E.

Snapdragons, rooted now and potted
along, will make strong plants for
benching in from eight to ten weeks.
You can take cuttings any time during
the fall, winter or early spring. AVhen

the weather is cooler they root better
and grow far more satisfactorily than in
hot weather, such as we get in August.
You can also raise these plants easily
from seed, and by purchasing separate
colors of the tall section from a reli-
able seed house you will find few rogues
among them. Soil for antirrhinums
needs no special preparation. Use the
same compost as you have prepared for
carnations, violets or mums. A mini-
mum winter temperature of 45 to 50
degrees suits them. Do not exceed
the latter figure, however. The finest
spikes I ever saw were grown at 40
to 45 degrees at night. C. W,

POLLY ROSE IN FRAMES.

Will you tell me how I should handle
Polly Rose chrysanthemums in frames?
Should I put glass on them now and
air freely, or when should I put glass
on them? J. T. L.

If the Polly Rose mums are growing
freely, it is not necessary to put the
glass on for a month yet, but if they
are getting hard and stunted in any
way, or showing rust or leaf-spot, I
would put the sashes on at once. Au-
gust, with its muggy heat and moisture,
often brings rust on outdoor plants
when plants under glass are perfectly
clean. Pushing the sashes off and on
means extra work, but sometimes it is
work that pays. If J. T. L. watches
his plants, he is the best judge as to
when the sashes ought to be on the
frames. Chas. H. Totty.

LEAF-DISEASE OF MUMS.
AVe have some mums which seem to
be affected by some sort of disease.
They were planted in the first part
of June, in solid beds, five feet wide.
The depth of the soil was eight to four-
teen inches, and at the time of plant-
ing a light sprinkling of bone meal was
given. The soil was kept in a moist
condition and a spraying was given
once a day. A few weeks ago we also
applied a dressing of rotted cow ma-
nure, with a light sprinkling of air-
slaked lime. The disease seems to af-
fect the two varieties. White Cloud and
Clem. Touset. They are planted 8x10
inches apart. The ventilators are
kept open day and night. Enclosed
you will find some specimen leaves of
the plants affected. Please state the
cause of the trouble and the remedy.

F. B.

of water. This is the liver of sulphur
and may be procured at almost any
drug store. Look after the watering
carefully and keep the atmosphere on
the dry side, and this leaf -spot should
not cause much worry.

Chas. H. Totty.

This leaf-disease is septoria, which
is common enough on mums, particu-
larly if they are planted closely. It
will be noticed that this disease al-
most always starts in the center of the
bench, where the plants do not dry out
80 well as at the sides. Unless the dis-
ease gets too bad, it does no particular
harm, as it cleans off the lower leaves
and allows the sun to get to the soil.
If the disease is serious, spray the
plants with sulphide of potassium, at
the rate of half an ounce to a gallon

POLL WORTH'S NEW PLACE.

The C. C. Pollworth Co., Milwaukee,
has just leased a new building for the
selling end of the business. The new
quarters will be much larger than those
previously occupied and are shown in
one of the accompanying illustrations.
The location is ideal, directly opposite
the City hall and on Milwaukee's mar-
ket square. For the present the lower

floors and basement only will be used,
the upper floors being sublet until such
time as the steady development of the
business makes their use necessary.
Two of the stores will be devoted to
the cut flower department, which is in
charge of W. F. Halliday. A large ice-
box is being installed and the rooms
are being fitted up with all the mod-
ern conveniences for handling cut flow-
ers and greens. A conservatory is be-
ing built in the rear of the building, to
be used as a show house for samples of
the plants grown at the greenhouses,
presided over by W. A. Kennedy, vice-
president of the company. In addition
to roses, carnations, chrysanthemums
and other cut flowers, the greenhouses
contain large blocks of palms, ferns
and other decorative plants, with
blooming plants and bedding stock in
season. The remaining space on the
street floors and in the basements will
be devoted to the supply department
and the offices, where C. C. Pollworth
personally is to be found. Mr. Poll-
worth is enthusiastic over the possibili-
ties opened to the company through the
acquisition of the new headquarters.
He says the force is at present busy on
orders for the Common Sense carnation
support, which he believes soon will be
generally adopted by the growers.

PLUMOSUS TIPS SCORCHED.

Will you kindly answer the following
inquiry on how to ventilate and shade
a house of Asparagus plumosus? Dur-
ing the last six weeks the thermometers
in this section of Missouri have several
times registered over 100 degrees,
which caused the young tips to wither,
destroying about fifty per cent of the
crop. We have benches of plumosus
and Sprengeri where a house has been
torn down, and these, though exposed

to the full sun, are growing finely. We
also have 3,000 young plants in frames,
with shaded sashes three feet above,
which are thriving well in the same
weather that is injuring the greenhouse
stock.

The house is 29x94, three-quarter
span to the south, fifteen feet high to
the ridge and about six feet to the
gutter. It has had two coats of white
lead shading — seemingly enough. The
south side is open, as another house is
being built there. A dozen lights of
16-inch glass are out on the north side,
and there are nine ventilators, seven
feet by forty-two inches, hinged at the
ridge J also two doors at each end.
There seems to be plenty of air and
there is less than 10 degrees of differ
ence between the inside and outside
temperatures. Would it give better re-
sults to put more ventilators in the
roof or hinge them at the header? I
thought of putting several ventilators
in the north wall. E. S.

Too hot and dry an atmosphere is the
most likely cause of the scorching of
the tips of the asparagus in question.
A three-quarter span house, facing the
south, is naturally a hot one in bright
weather, unless the prevailing wind is
also from the south. Such a house
would work better with continuous ven-
tilation from end to end, instead of
about two-thirds of its length, as in the
house described. Some ventilators on
the north would also be a help in keep-
ing down the temperature in extremely
warm weather. During such weather a
light syringing twice a day would be
beneficial. W'. H. T.

CANTERBURY BELLS FOR SPRING.

Is it too late to plant Canterbury
bell seeds for Easter and Decoration
day blooming? C. G. J. & S.

It is getting too late now to sow
Canterbury bells for spring flowering.
Of course, you could still get plants of
fair size, but the chances are against
more than a small percentage of them
flowering. Your best plan would be
to purchase, if possible, plants which
have been transplanted. Failing this,
wait and get some strong field-grown
plants later in the fall. Another sea-
son sow your Canterbury bells in May

or June and you are then sure to have
strong plants which will flower.

C. W.

BEGONIAS NOT FLOWERING.

Will you tell me why my tuberous
begonias do not bloom? They are green
and apparently healthy. After the
buds reach a certain size, they blight,
and some never bloom at all.

I. G. M.

The most probable reason for your
begonias not blooming is that they
have been attacked by thrips. These
in the spring and summer months are
destructive on tuberous begonias, strep-
tocarpus, gloxinias, achimenes and

gesneras. The upper surface of the
foliage will look all right, but you
will find it discolored underneath, and
the buds, after attaining a certain size,
fail to open. You will find they are
brown in color and practically eaten
up with thrips. These are difficult
pests to exterminate. Hard syringing
through a spray nozzle would be too
much for begonias, but you should
spray them moderately once or twice
a day, and also syringe with one of the
nicotine solutions, of which a number
are now on the market. If you have
not many plants, you could mix up a
small tub or large pail Of the nicotine
and dip the plants in it every second
day for ten days. C, W.

SWEET PEAS NOT FLOWERING.

Can you tell me why my sweet peas
all run up to growth, but few or none
bloom? I do not think it is due to
the cultivation altogether, as some are
on deeply dug, rich ground and some
on comparatively poor soil, with no ex-
cess of manure. Yet they are all alike.
Can anything be done for them?

J. F.

Your experience is not by any means
exceptional. Not infrequently sweet
peas run up to growth in the way
yours have done and the early flowers
blight before opening. The cause of
this is, I think, some peculiar climatic
condition, rather than improper soil.
The plants will flower satisfactorily a
little later; do not despair of them, but
keep weeds away and the ground well
cultivated. When flowering really

commences, give them a mulch of
strawy manure, old hay or grass, and
in dry weather water freely. C. W.

SHEEP MANURE FOR SWEET PEAS.

Can I use pulverized sheep manure,
instead of cow manure, for my sweet
pea beds? If so, please advise quantity
of manure to use for 1,000 square feet
of beds. The soil is twelve inches deep
and is fresh soil in ground beds. E. C.

If unable to secure cow manure, well
rotted horse manure would do well if
you can secure it. Give a liberal coat-
ing, spreading it on two to three inches
thick over the surface and working it
in well with a spade. If you cannot
get the horse manure, use the pulver-
ized sheep manure at the rate of one
pound per square foot of bench space

and incorporate it thoroughly when dig-
ging. You can apply top-dressings of
the sheep manure or fine bone later on,

when the plants require some stimulant,
lightly pointing over the surface after
applying it. C. W.

CATEBFILLABS ON FERNS.

There are green caterpillars on our
Whitmani ferns. They look the same
as those that attack mignonette. Can
you suggest a remedy? G'. F.

Try dusting the plants with Slug Shot
or with powdered hellebore. If this
does not give results, a weak solution
of Paris green or arsenate of lead will
do the work, but there is some danger
of injury to the young foliage if the
arsenic preparations are used too
strong. W. H. T.

SOIL FOB BOSTON FEBNS.

We are thinking of growing some
specimen ferns for decorative pur-
poses and should like to get some in-
formation on the subject. What kind
of soil and what kind of fertilizers are
best and how should they be used? Is
it advisable to pinch oflf the runners or
should they be potted as roots? I am
speaking of the Boston fern and its
sports. S. & S.

Almost any good top soil will answer
for Boston ferns, with the addition of
a moderate quantity of well rotted
stable manure. A good soil for the
purpose is composed of rotted sod to
which is added one-fourth of manure.

Pot firmly and keep the runners
clipped off. A slight shade on the glass
is beneficial during midsummer, but is
not needed after September 15. When

the plants get heavily rooted, an occa-
sional feeding with manure water is
helpful in keeping up the color of the
foliage. W. H. T.

APHIS ON FEBNS.

What can I do to get rid of small
black insects on sword ferns? They
are the most troublesome on the new
fronds. I do not find them in the
greenhouse, but my customers are*
troubled with them occasionally.

E. A. C.

From the description it seems most
probable that the insects in question
are aphis, and in that case spraying
with a weak solution of nicotine ex-
tract would be the best remedy. A
solution consisting of one part of the
extract to 300 parts of water would
answer for this purpose, provided the
])lanta are not exposed to the sun while
wet with the solution. W. H. T.

PLATE GLASS CONSEBVATOBY.

Alfred B. Burk, of Philadelphia, has
built a conservatory that is unique.
The accompanying illustration serves
to show the exterior appearance of the
structure. It is built like an enclosed
pergola, with plate glass walls and
roof. The architects were Simon &
Bassett and they describe the archi
tecture of the conservatory as "in the
order of the Italian Benaissance; a
style suited to the intended purpose.

affording a design at once picturesque
and dignified. This design has for its
notable feature a row of white granite
monolithic columns, extending along
the entire facade, giving the place a
really noble perspective. The simplic-
ity of construction may be understood
from the f acf that each space between
these columns is filled with a single
plate of glass. The introduction of plate
glass as the main material in the con-
struction of this modern plant house
was a bold departure from established
standards recognized by builders, and
it was accordingly viewed with general
disfavor. It required a departure from
the old style of structural work in a
great many respects, the plans for
which were carefully worked out by
the designers, in conjunction with the
builders."

The structure is 30x100 and stands at
the top of a succession of terraces,
beautifully laid out* The house is prac-
tically everlasting, being made exclu-
sively of stone, plate glass and steel,
but it is of interest more because of its
unique than for its practical features.

ton's Monthly, published by the Pitts-

TEN WEEKS' STOCKS.

I forgot to sow ten weeks' stocks
until too late to have them in bloom
for Memorial day. I have them now
planted outdoors. Can I make use of
them next spring by potting them next
fall and taking them into the house,
or will it be better to throw them away
and sow new seed? How shall I treat
them to have them in bloom for Me-
morial day? J. M.

The stocks in question will undoubt-
edly flower for you outdoors. It never
pays to lift stocks; they are hard sub-
jects to move, anyway, and they would
flower much too early for Memorial
day. To have plants in flower at this
date, start seed of the early Giant ten
weeks' variety at the end of February.
Pot off singly when of sufficient size,
using for compost loam, leaf-mold and
a little old manure, and bench them
before the roots become too much mat-
ted in the pots. A night temperature
of 45 to 50 degrees suits them.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

August 10, 1911.

GEBANIUM SPORTS.

We have a Mme. Salleroi geranium
which has just bloomed. It has salmon
flowers, shaped like those of Happy
Thought; the leaves on the blooming
branch are large and dark green, with
streaks of lighter green in the center.
Is this a freak?

In our conservatory we have gerani-
ums of all colors and kinds, massed on
benches, with brackets above. From
seed taken off Prince Bismarck we have
grown a beautiful geranium, naming it
Enchantress, for all visitors are en-
chanted with its beauty. Its color is
a dainty salmon pink, a little lighter
than the parent, and it has large trusses
of perfectly formed flowers, on long
stems. It is a good bloomer and a vig-
orous grower and we consider it the
finest thing in our collection. Is there
anything like it on the market? I am
sending you some flowers of parent and
seedling. Although dry weather has in-
jured all, you can see the superiority
of the seedling. A. J. K.

The Mme. Salleroi sport is quite an
interesting one and is worth propagat-
ing and perpetuating. Mme. Salleroi
rarely flowers and if you can secure
one which will bloom at all, it would
be interesting and may be profitable to
you.

The geranium flowers enclosed came
in good condition. There are several
single varieties similar to or identical
with your seedling. The name Enchant-
ress is quite appropriate. An old va-
riety, Lady Bamsay, is of exactly the
same color and form. Your seedling
certainly is a vast improvement over
its parents. C. W.

FIXING THE RESPONSIBrLITY.

Kennicott Bros. Co., the well known
firm of wholesale commission florists
at Chicago, is in court with a suit
against the Adams Express Co. over a
loss which occurred through delay in
notifying the shipper in the case of
the failure of a consignee to accept a
shipment. The sum of money involved
is small and does not enter into the
consideration at all; what the whole-
salers are seeking to determine is a
method of taking from the express com-
pany all chance for its agents to exer-
cise their own judgment in such cases;
like other wholesalers, these shippers
wish to be the ones to direct what shall
be done in the event of any failure to
deliver or accept shipments.

Kennicott Bros. Co. uses the well
known cut flower label, with the official
rose leaf in red as adopted by the So-
ciety of American Florists. On the
label is printed the following: "Notice
to express companies: Should consignee
refuse to accept shipment or pay C. 0. I
D., notify us at once by wire, at our
expense, stating reason why undeliv-
ered, or if amount is less than $4 sell
to best advantage."

In the course of time several cases

have arisen in which cqpsignee either
failed to accept shipment or to pay
C. O. D. and in which the agent of the
express company did not wire until the
close of the business day, using a night
message, which, of course, reached the
shipper the day following, so that the
flowers were twenty-four hours older
than they should have been before the
shipper had the chance to instruct as
to their disposal. The general agents
of the express companies at Chicago
all take the stand that they have com-
plied with their legal obligations when
their agent sends a message within the
business day on which delivery should
have been made. They assert that the
"notice to express companies," as
printed above, calls for nothing more.
The suit is a friendly one to determine
whether or not the express companies
have fulfilled the requirements of them.
Officials of the express companies,
desiring to work in harmony with the
cut flower shippers at Chicago and oth-
er points, have suggested a slight
change in the phraseology of the "no-
tice to express companies," as used by
Kennicott Bros. Co. and many others:
They suggest that the notice be made
to read as follows: "Should consignee
refuse to accept shipment or pay C. O.
D. promptly on arrival, notify us at
once by wire, day message, at our ex-
pense, stating reason why undelivered,

or if amount is less than $4 sell to best
advantage for our account."

SPIR^AS FOR MEMORIAI. DAY.

Will you tell nie how to grow spiraeas,
and what kind, for Memorial day
trade? E. G. W.

The old Spiraea Japonica is still
grown in considerable quantities for
cutting at Memorial day, but the more
dense flowering varieties, carrying
stronger flower stalks, such as Glad-
stone, compacta multiflora and astil-
boides, are superior in every way and
are no more expensive than the old
sort. Then there are two beautiful
peach-pink sorts. Queen Alexandra and
Peach Blossom, which cost a little more
than the white sorts, but command dou-
ble the price. You would do well to
try some of these.

Spiraeas can be grown in pots, or in
boxes six inches deep. Probably you
will find pots the most suitable. They
like a rich soil. The pink sorts should
be started nine to ten weeks before
Memorial day and allowed to open in
a shaded house, to keep their color well.
White varieties will flower in eight
weeks easily, or in ten days less if
forced hard. Spiraeas want an abun-
dant water supply, need spacing apart
as they grow, require liquid manure
twice a week and must not be subjected
to any heavy fumigation. They are of
the easiest possible culture and can be
forced hard if necessary, but the flow-
ers have more substance if allowed to
open moderately cool. C. W.

New Haven, Conn. — The Doolittle
Floral Co., has been incorporated, with
a capital stock of $25,000. The incor-
porators are A. L. Doolittle, William H.
Long and H. H. Kelsey.

PEONIES DID NOT BLOOM.

We have some peonies and it will
soon be time to plant them. We wish?
to know how to plant and divide large
clumps. We divided some about five or
six years ago and they never amounted
to anything. A number of small, sickly
looking stalks came up every year, but
did not grow more than a foot high;
they stayed green all summer and
never bloomed. Some new stock planted
at the same time did splendidly and
gave good blooms every year. Wo
wish to transplant those we have and
get more with them, and should like
to get correct information. W. M.

Among the causes which make
peonies sulky are:

1. Planting them too deeply, which
makes them multiply stems without pro-
ducing blooms. The eyes should not
be set more than one to two inches be-
low the surface of the ground.

2. Leaving too many eyes on a divis-
ion. If the size and strength of the
tuber left with these eyes is not in
proportion to the number of eyes, the
growth will be weakened.

3. If the ground is soggy and not
well drained it will act in this manner.

4. If plants are set very late in the
fall or any time in the spring, they are
likely to be sulky for a year or two.

Whenever a plant has been sulky

for a series of years it is generally

cheaper to throw it away and get new,

healthy stock, so as not to waste time.

William A. Peterson.

OBITUABY.

August Sunderbruch.
August Sunderbruch, for many years
a flomt in Cincinnati, 0., died August
1 at -his home, 107 West Charlton street,
at the age of 82 years. He yas for-
merly professor of botany in the old
Wesleyan Female College. He was in
^o!^^^"^*^' business in Cincinnati from
1860 to 1900. He is survived by two
sons, William and Albert Sunderbruch,
and a daughter, Mrs. Louis Helwig, of
Chicago. *'

Edward McNally.

The funeral of Edward McNally, 64
years old, a resident of Anchorage Ky.,
and a native of Dublin, Ireland,' who
died at his home following an illness
of several months, was held from St.
John's Roman Catholic church in Louis-
ville, Ky., August 3. Mr. McNally came
to this country forty-five years ago and
started in business at Anchorage as a
florist. He was one of the best-known
residents of Jefferson county. Besides
his wife, he is survived bv four chil-
dren, S. W. and Edward McNally, Mrs.
F. W. Taylor and Mrs. J. W. Coleman.

C. L. Sieber.

Charles Louis Sieber, a former resi-
dent of New Orleans, died at Poncha-
toula, La., August 1, and was buried in
New Orleans the following day. Al-
though the funeral was private, the New
Orleans Horticultural Society, of which
body he was an active member, was
notified and a delegation was present.
Several members sent pretty funeral
offerings.

Mr. Sieber came to this country from
Germany many years ago and was
known as a man of great intelligence.
At one time he was head clerk for the
late Richard Frotcher. He spent a few
years in Florida and on his return to
New Orleans held several responsible po-
sitions with leading florists. On account
of ill health he moved to Ponchatoula,
La., still following the florists' trade.
Mr. Sieber had hosts of friends and his
somewhat sudden death was on all sides
deeply deplored.

Rudolph Forst.

Rudolph Forst, of the firm of Woller-
man & Forst, wholesale growers at Gib-
sonia, Pa., died of typhoid fever August
3, at his home in Millvale, Pa. Among
his many friends in the trade he was
noted for his genial disposition and his
upright business dealings.

M. L. Bonham.

M. L. Bonham, a well-known nursery-
man and florist at Clinton, Mo., died
recently from heart trouble. He was
highly esteemed by all who knew or
ever had business relations with him.

James H. O'Malley.

James H. O 'Malley, a florist and gar-
dener of Scranton, Pa., died suddenly
on Thursday afternoon, July 27, at the
age of 56 years. On the day of his
death he had attended to business as
usual. After visiting several flower gar-
dens, he returned to his home, ate a
hearty meal, took a book and lay down
to read. Half an hour later he was
found dead, with the book in his hands.
He was born in County Mayo, Ireland,
and came to Scranton at the age of
16. He is survived by his wife, his

daughters, Catherine and Helen, and
bis sons, Arthur, James and Joseph.

BOSTON.

The Market.

While no large business was trans-
acted, growers and retailers were well
satisfied with the volume of July trade
and, though little is expected of Au-
gust, there are encouraging reports of
"something doing all the time." Out-
door flowers now dominate the market
and will do so for another six weeks.
Asters are the leading flowers and are
seen in increasing abundance. While
some are short and poor in quality, oth-
ers have grand stems. In addition to
Queen of the Market, quite a few Comets
are also now seen. Prices on the best
flowers hold up well, but seconds are
getting druggy. Gladioli, next to as-
ters, are most in evidence. There is a
good assortment of these, America leadi
ing in popularity, followed by Mrs. F.
King, Shakespeare and Augusta. Sweet
peas are not as abundant as in former
years, nor is their quality up to the
mark.

Carnations are now little seen and
such as arrive are far inferior to as-
ters in quality. Rose supplies are not
heavy. The bulk of the flowers are
small, with short stems. Carnot, Mary-
land, Prince de Bulgarie and Beauties
fill the bill. There is an ample supply
of longiflorum lilies and smaller lots of
speciosum album and Melpomene.
Tuberoses are seen, but no one wants
them. Signs of approaching fall are
seen in small lots of cosmos and dah-
lias. There is now a fair supply of
cattleyas and small lots of gardenias
are arriving regularly. Of miscellaneous
outdoor flowers quite a few are coming
in. Gypsophila is one of the best sell-
ers. Demand for adiantum and aspara-
gus is quiet.

Various Notes.

W. A. Hastings reports a steady
growth of interest in the S. A. F. con-
vention and each day he is enrolling at
least one new name. On account of
the Boston party journeying via Fall
River line, one or two New Englanders
will join the party in New York. One
or two will be unable to leave until
August 14. The Boston delegation will
be smaller than had been anticipated.
A number are abroad or on their vaca-
tions at the shores and mountains and
prefer this quietude to the bustle of a
convention.

.Penn, on Bromfield street, had a beau-
tiful and varied assortment of orchids
in one of the show windows August 5.
It included several varieties of cat-
tleyas and numerous cypripediums, as
well as dendrobiums, miltonias, vandas,
phalaenopsis, etc. In another window
a small fountain was playing. Around
the edges of the tank were numerous
nymphaeas, while at the rear a back-
ground of ferns was broken here and
there by vases of gladioli.

The Boston Cooperative Market is
making preparations for the annual auc-
tion sale of stalls, which will take place
September 2.

The greenhouses, together with all
the contents, and the outdoor plants,
including 12,000 carnations, at the es-
tablishment of Lemoine Bros., at Fram-
ingham Junction, were sold at public
auction August 9.

H. T. Meade, of Manchester, N. H.,

and C. H. Barrett, of Concord, N. H., '
will attend the Baltimore convention
with the Boston party.

H. W. Vose, of Hyde Park, has the
finest asters seen at the Boston Flower
Exchange. The stems are of remark-
able length for the season.

Ernest Stickel, salesman for the
Montrose Greenhouses, has returned
from a three weeks' vacation. Eber
Holmes acted as salesman during his
absence.

William Patterson, of WoUaston, is
strong on gladioli at present. His va-
rieties include the popular America,
May, Augusta and Mrs. King.

Henry R. Comley had some fine
nymphaeas, gladioli, salpiglossis and
roses in his windows August 5. Passi-
flora shoots, carrying flowers, hung
from the upper part of the window. Mr.
Comley is still limping from the results
of the blood poisoning in one of his
feet.

Paine Bros., of Randolph, are in the
market with a grand lot of gladioli in
all the leading varieties; also asters of
first-class quality.

Noted in J. Newman & Sons' Win-
dows last week was a pretty effect pro-
duced by standing vases of fully
bloomed Killarney roses in a bed of
green moss, the vases being arranged
thinly. In one window vases of Cat-
tleya Harrisonise and lily of the valley
produced a pleasing effect.

John K. Alexander, of East Bridge-
water, one of the leading dahlia spe-
cialists in Massachusetts, has his fields
in fine shape, with many plants already
flowering freely. The plants have im-
proved wonderfully since recent heavy
rains.

The garden committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society visited
the estate of Oliver Ames, North Eas-
ton, August 3, to inspect the fine and
well cropped vegetable garden. Ed-
ward Parker, who has charge of this
estate, had everything in fine shape.
An auto ride was taken over some of
the other estates in town.

Edward MacMulkin had the extensive
decorations at Symphony hall for the
banquet of the Associated Advertising
Clubs of America, August 4. H. R.
Comley decorated for the ladies' ban-
quet at the Hotel Thorndike, using
sweet peas exclusively, many being cut
with the haulm.

Harland H. Rogers, of South Sud-
bury, a noted aster and carnation
grower, is again in the market with a
grand assortment of asters, which make
remarkable stems in the Sudbury soil.

J. M. Cohen is spending his vacation
in a cottage at Winthrop. He has
been receiving fine consignments of
carnations for so late in the season
from »V. Fenvia, of South Sudbury.
Queen is their special variety.

Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Bartsch, of
Waverley, are among those planning
to attend the Baltimore convention.

Peter M. Miller, of the T. J. Grey
Co., and D. F. Roy, of Marion, winner
of the fat men 's race at the late picnic,
leave August 15 for a vacation at Bar
Harbor, Me.

David Welch, of Welch Bros., is back
from his European trip, greatly im-
proved in health by the change.

W. N. Craig.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

There was a meeting of the executive
committee at the office of Traendly &
Schonok. Now York, last week, with
President Adolph Farenwald. of Ros-
lyn, Pa., in the chair. The particular
matter in question was the settlement
of the payment of prizes awarded at
the National Flower Show in Boston.
There had been a variance of opinion
in regard to the construction of the
resolution passed at Rochester, N. Y.,
relative to the amount of money that
was to be paid to the National Flower
Show committee, and until this had
been settled the prizes were held in
abeyance. Vice-President Philip Breit-
meyer advised: "I am in favor of a
settlement, rather than have any ill-
feeling, especially with the lot of men
who have worked so hard to make the
recent show a success. I would say
l)ay up and forget. Let us go ahead
with unity and kindliness and do all
the better in the future." The members
of the executive committee who were
unable to attend sent proxies and the
sense of all was the same as was so
admirably expressed by Mr. Breit-
meyer.

A formal motion was put and car-
ried, as follows: "That the treasurer '

salable. They are heading for the con-
vention.

Grand Eaplds, Mich.— Freyling &
Mendels, proprietors of the Wealthy
Avenue Floral Co., are building another
greenhouse, with concrete walls.

Fulton, 111. — John Aggen is erecting
two additional greenhouses, each 21x100.
He has been in business here about nine
years and has met with marked success.
He grows both flowers and vegetables.

Oneonta, N. Y.— C. W. Peck, of the
Oneonta greenhouses, on Grove street,
has torn down two .old greenhouses and
erected in their place two iron-frame
houses, furnished by the King Construc-
tion Co.

Skaneateles, N. Y.— J. G. White has
a novel method of keeping his chrys-
anthemum stock true, by drawing a
plan and planting each variety by
number, the numbers on the plants cor-
responding with the numbers on the
map.

Elmira, N. Y.— H. N. Hoffman says
the report thrtt he intended to give up
the nursery branch of his business is
not correct, but rather he intends to
devote more time to it. Of the many
varieties of conifers, he finds the blue
spruce to be the hardiest and the best
drought resister.

Geneva, N. Y. — W. & T. Cass gave up
the idea of a downtown store and in-
vested, instead, in an auto delivery,
which they think is a splendid ad and
the most profitable investment they
have made for some time. They expect
to make up a party, together with 'a
crowd from the experimental station, to
attend the convention at Baltimore.

Albert Lea, Minn.— When A. Miller,
traveling representative of the new Chi-
cago firm of A. Henderson & Co., ar-
rived here, a little surprise party had
been arranged for him by G. A. Clau-
sen, of this city. Mr. Clausen and a
few Elk friends met the Chicago man
and took him out in an automobile to a
lake fifteen miles from town, where a
day and night were spent in fishing. A
good catch was reported.

Des Moines, la. — Mr. and Mrs. J. S.'
WilsoH left Friday, July 28, for Bos-
ton, Mass., on the Iowa Admen's special
train to the National Admen's Conven-
tion, in session August 1 to 4. Mr.
Wilson is one of the officers of this
association and also chairman of the
House committee, and went as one of
the five elected delegates. It is his in-
tention to visit New York and Phila-
delphia and then slop at the S. A. F.
convention at Baltimore on his home-
ward journey.

Manistee, Mich. — J. F. Harrell, of the
Manistee Floral Co., has been visiting
the trade at Milwaukee, keeping up to
date.

Shenandoah, la. — The dry weather
has hurt the gladiolus crop. The
Henry Field Seed Co., which usually
has a large crop of flowers, will have
few marketable blooms this year.

Middletown, N. Y.— F. X. Dienst is
considering an offer of a fine farm and
greenhouse property, as his own ex-
tensive plant is inadequate to supply*
his increasing business.

Litchfield, 111.— Mr. and Mrs. E. A.
McPheron have returned from a vaca-
tion trip to Atlantic City, Philadelphia
and other eastern points. They spent a
day at Riverton and report everything
in the usual first-class shape at Dreer's.

Wellesley Hills, Mass.— A. G. Lake,
on Woodlawn avenue, was thrown from
liis carriage a few weeks ago and re-
ceived injuries which disabled him for
a time. Trade has been heavy, espe-
cially in the shipment of ferns, and he
has had great diflBculty in filling his
orders promptly.

Princeton, 111. — The Trimble Green-
house Co. is building two more houses
and an office on its property in the
east part of town. A store will also be
opened in connection with the new
office, and on this account the down-
town store on South Main street will
be closed. There is a steady increase of
business, especially in the wholesale
department.

Austin, Minn. — A. N. Kinsman, in
company with his wife, left recently on
an automobile trip to Colorado Springs,
where they will visit his brother. The
trip covers 900 miles, and if he en-
joys it he will venture on a trip to
Florida next winter; no telling where
he will go next. When the bicycle was
in its prime, Mr. Kinsman made a trip
to Milwaukee, over 300 miles. His firm
is now completing a new house, 30x120,
for carnations.

Miles City, Mont. — As reported in
The Review at the time, a branch store
was opened here some months ago by
T. D. Smedley, proprietor of the Fargo
Floral Co., of Fargo, N. D. A corpora-
tion has now been formed, under the
name of Smedley & Co., to develop and
conduct the business here. The capital
stock is $25,000. The directors are T.
D. Smedley, H. B. Wiley and Mary E.
Macy. The company will also build
greenhouses here. For that purpose
twenty lots of ground have been secured
on the Tongue river, just south of the
city, and work will be started at once
in the erection of two liouses, each
.34x100.

Dover, N. H.— C. L. Howe has pur-
chased an automobile, so constructed
that it will be a most convenient vehicle
for use both in business and recreation.

Ipswich, Mass. — Wu M. Davey, of Lo-
cust street, who has been carrying on a
successful business here as a landscape
gardener, has decided to erect some
greenhouses and grow flowers for the
local trade.

Glean, N. Y. — Dana E. Herron made
a hit when he added a soda fountain.
It is a handsome addition to the store
and keeps his clerks busy during the
summer season. The stock at his
greenhouses looks fine.

Fishkill, N. Y.— Wood Bros, have
most of the new introductions in roses
planted for stock and blooms, giv-
ing an excellent opportunity to study
the merits of each. Double Pink Kil-
larney is highly thought of; so, also,
are Prince de Bulgarie and Lady Hil-
lingdon. The demand for pot stock of
all kinds has been good.

La Park, Pa. — A bundle of 150 let-
ters, addressed to George W. Park, the
florist and seedsman of this place, was
recently found floating in Conestoga
creek. The letters had all been opened
and each one of them still contained
postage stamps or postoffice orders for
different sums. The belief is that a
pouch of mail matter for Mr. Park, who
lias his own postoffice, had been stolen
from one of the mail trains. The thief
had opened the letters and removed all
the cash in them; he was unable to
have the money orders cashed and did
not want the stamps. This is the sec-
ond time that Mr. Park has suffered
loss in this manner.

Madison, Wis.— The Capital City
Greenhouse Co. is now incorporated.
The members of the company are: Fred
Rentschler, George Rcntschlor. Albert
Meyer and Jacob Kolb. The name be-
fore the incorporation was the Capital
City Greenhouse, with Fred Rentsch-
ler as proprietor. They are now com-
pleting the construction of eight houses,
each 21x150, which will be used for
growing roses and carnations. The
Moninger Co. furnished the material.
They have installed a Kroeschell boiler.
No. 15, with capacity to heat 56,000
square feet of glass. The store in town
is also being remodeled. Formerly the
second floor of the store was rented for
office rooms, but the firm has now leased
the second floor and is using the space
as a storeroom. The building will be
increased in length, so as to make room
for a conservatory, which will be an
excellent place for handling plants.
The place on Williamson street, com-
prising six houses, will be used for
])lant culture.

SOCIETY OF AHEBICAM FLORISTS.

Incorporated by Act of Congress, March 4. 1901.

Officers for 1911: President, George Asmus, Chi-
cago; vice-president, R. Vincent, Jr., White Marsh,
Md.; secretary, H. B. Dorner, Urbana, 111.: treas-
urer. W. F. Easting, Buffalo, N. Y.

Annual convention, Baltimore, Md., August 15 to

Besiilts briog adTertising.
The Seview brings results.

There is some complaint of slow col-
lections, but that's always the case in
midsummer.

It is easier to sell goods than to get
the money for them. Some salesmen
overlook the fact.

It is reported that Louisville will send
a delegation of twenty boosters to the
Baltimore convention.

No; this is not The Review's Special
Number, though it contains 100 pages.
The Special comes out next week.

Ralph M. Ward, New York bulb im-
porter, is sending retail florists a card to
hang in their stores: "A Lily to a
Live Friend is Better than Ten to a
Corpse — 25 cents each."

Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.

Me. Murray will shortly publish
"Gravetye Manor; or, Twenty Years'
Work round an Old Manor House." It
tells the story of much work done in
garden, field and woodland for many
years past, during which the owner, W.
Robinson, the author of "The English
Flower Garden," has been at work. It
is likely to prove a treasure to all who
are interested in landscape gardening.

BEADEB AND ADVEBTISEB.

The prime effort in every successful
newspaper office is to interest the read-
ers— that's what makes a good adver-
tising medium. No matter how many
copies are circulated, if they are not
read they are wasted — they do the ad-
vertiser no good. Consequently, it is
a pleasure to get such letters as the
following:

We Just want to let you know that we are sold
out of stock after two Insertions of our small
advertisement In The Review. We returned orders
for 8,000 plants after we were sold out. The
Review is the paper that brings results to adver-
tisers as well as furnishing much valuable and
interesting reading. — A. Spatb & Son, Embla
Park, Md., July 26, 1911.

LADIES' S. A. F.

The members of the Ladies' Society,
of American Florists will receive at
Hotel Belvedere, Thursday evening, Au-
gust 17, from 8:30 to 11. Tickets will
be issued from the secretary's desk
in the exhibition hall, Tuesday, August

15. The president, Mrs. Phillips, re-
quests all members to call there, and
please wear your badge pins.

The annual business meeting of the
Ladies S. A. F. will be held at Hotel
Belvedere Wednesday morning, August

16, at 10:30. Business of importance
will come up at this time and every
member is urged to be present.

Department of Begistration.

Public notice is hereby given that S.
A. Anderson, of 440 Main street, Buf-
falo, N. Y., offers for registration the
begonia described below. Any person
objecting to the registration or to the
use of the proposed name is requested
to communicate with the secretary at
once. Failing to receive objection to
the registration, the same will be made
three weeks from this date. Descrip-
tion: An improvement on Begonia
Gloire de Lorraine; the yellow center
is twice the size of that of the regular
Lorraine; it is self -branching ; has five
petals in the flower instead of four; it
throws twice as many flowers as the
Lorraine. Name: Betty Anderson.

CHICAGO.

The Qreat Central Market.

There has been a decided slump since
last report. Business began to fall off
in the last days of July and the week
ending August 5 was easily the dullest
the Chicago wholesale market has ex-
perienced thus far this season. Sup-
plies of stock were so much ahead of
the , demand that prices were reduced
all along the line. There are those
who say the market situation is due
solely to the increase in supply, but it
is certain that hundreds of buyers who
called on Chicago for stock during the
July days when supplies were light are
among those who now have outdoor
flowers of their own, and hence need
not order from this center. As soon as
the asters and the gladioli get a knock,
from whatever cause, the market is
likely to recover over night, so that the
future is uncertain.

The aster is the dominating flower.
Since August 1 supplies have increased
immensely and values, which were
ranging above normal, have fallen so
that they do not compare favorably
with the prices received in other years,
except what is now being realized for
the few high grade flowers that are
coming in. Most of the asters are ex-
tremely poor and when a buyer wants
strictly first-class stock he sometimes
has to work to find it.

The receipts of gladioli have in-
creased only slightly less than has been
the case with asters. The quality of
the stock is fully as good as at any
previous date this season, but the
prices have been cut in two, and more,
for it is impossible to effect a clear-
ance at any price.

WE tlAVE SPLENDID

Killarneys

PINK OR WHITE - LARGE SUPPLY. V^

We feel that we can not make it too strong when we urge buyers who have not tried our Killar-
neys to do so at once, for the quality of our Killarneys this summer is the marvel of the market —
Chicago never has seen anything like so large a supply or such fine quality. We are furnishing buyers
all the Killarneys they need, in any length up to 18 to 24 inches. The color of the pink is something
wonderful — better than it is in winter. These roses are business-builders. Once tried, you will use
no others.

BEAUTIES

Plenty of the popular medium leng^ths

Our present cut of Beauties is largely from young plants and runs
largely to medium stems, the lengths that are in greatest demand. This is
excellent stock, grown by the grower whose summer crop has given such
jierfect satisfaction to our customers in other years. Those who are not
ordering their Beauties of us should try this stock without delay.

GLADIOLI

Can supply in thousand lots.

The quality never was better. Mrs. Francis Kling (red), America (light
pink), and Augusta (white). These are the three buyers want in quan-
tity, and we have them. Note reduction in prices. You can use large lots
at these figures.

ASTERS

Asters now are in very Urge supply; we can furnish any color, any
length, in any quantity. The quality is much improved and you can count
on getting, for the rest of the season, if your orders are sent to us, all the
Asters you may need for any kind of sale that comes your way.

Lilies

We can furnish Easter Lilies,
Rubrums or Auratums, best qual-
ity, in any quantity.

Valley

Order "Valley of us and you will
draw on a never-failing source of
supply.

HEADQUARTERS FOR ALL GREENS

Here you get the best Fancy Ferns, all the Smilax and Asparagus
strings you want, Sprengeri and Plumosua bunches, Mexican Ivy and
Galax. No order too large for our facilities and no order too small to
receive our careful attention.

*"'^'^ ■ *-■* *-l»-B*-i^ yfQ g^fg ijj better shape than ever before. These Lilies are grown in a cool climate,
giving keeping and shipping qualities exceeding anything we ever have had in Lilies. Cut half develoi>ed, so as to
reach you in perfect condition.

GLADIOLI in All Colors

We are prepared to furnish Augusta (white), Mrs. King (red) or America (light pink), separate cofors in any
quantity, or mixed unnamed varieties if wanted. This is fine stock— much better than the Glads that brought much
more money earlier in the season. Send along your orders— you can use this stock in quantity.

Beauties were a glut last week; not
that the supply was so large, but the
demand was extremely light. This week
conditions are slightly better. There
is so great an abundance of the Killar-
neys and Maryland of good quality that
prices even for the best have fallen.
The majority of the roses coming in are
short stock from young plants and
funeral flowers are now to be had at
the buyer's own price.

Easter lilies are again in large sup-
ply and prices have returned to the
lower levels. Auratums continue plenti-
ful. There is an abundance of valley.
Few sweet peas are seen and daisies
are on the wane. Not many orchids
are coming in, but an abundance for all
orders. Rudbeckia is everywhere and
a few mums are seen.

The call for greens is decidedly
light, so that prices are easier. There
is plenty of everything in the greens
department, except asparagus strings
and smilax, which are some days plenti-
ful and some days scarce.

Club Meeting.

The attendance at the club meetings
is increasing steadily this summer, in-
stead of going in the opposite direction,
as in most other summers. August 3
there was a big crowd, though there
was no special order of business. C. C.
Pollworth, of Milwaukee, and C. De
Wever, of St. Louis, were present. Mr.
Pollworth made application for mem-
bership and was elected on the spot,
amid much hilarity and good humored
joshing, for it was the first time the
rules ever had been suspended for such
a purpose.

A. Zech reported on the annual pic-
nic, which, thanks to the good work of
the committee, was a financial success
in spite of bad weather. Mr. Zech also
reported for the bowling contingent,
stating that the team to represent the
club at Baltimore will consist of George
Asmus, P. Olsem, W. Wolf, C. W. Mc-
Kellar and John Zech. The club ap-
propriated $50 toward the expenses of
the bowling team.

A. C. Kohlbrand moved that the De-

Various Notes.

One of the events of the week was
the marriage of Miss Violet Nelson and
Walter F. Peters, of Evanston. The

wedding took place August 6 at Morton
Grove. Emil Nelson, the bride 's father,
is the well known rose grower who
makes his Chicago headquarters with
John Kruchten.

It develops that the N. C. Moore Co.,
Morton Grove, had a bad fire last
month, the plant being practically de-
stroyed,

H. Van Gelder is suflfering with neu-
ralgia, but is attending to business.

While A. Kowalkowski was chopping
wood at his greenhouses on Thomas
street a splinter flew up with such force
that it penetrated the eyeball and de-
stroyed the sight of that eye.

Frank Ayers writes Mrs. C. W. Mc-
Kellar from Paris, Tex., that their
mother is convalescing from her serious
illness.

Hoerber Bros, are all planted up and
are beginning to cut from young stock.

John Michelson, of the E. C. Amling
Co., was at Fairbury and other down-
state towns last week.

Tim Matchen, sales manager for
Peter Beinberg, has returned from a
pleasant outing in Wisconsin. Miss
Corbett now is away.

Phil Sehupp, of J. A. Budlong's, says
he looks for a quick change in the
market when a storm hits the outdoor
stock.

Hans Rowaltz, who has charge of the
books for Kyle & Foerster, is vacation-
ing at Hayden, Mo.

John Poehlmann has this week re-
ceived delivery of a new Winton 6-cyl-
inder, T-passenger touring car. Adolph
Poehlmann has an order in for a similar
machine.

The Chicago Flower Growers' As-
sociation has completed its store this
week by putting in the office partitions
and fixtures. It makes an extremely
neat and well arranged establishment.

E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co.,
went to northern Michigan August 7.

L. H. Winterson, of the seed store,
has returned from his vacation.

The committee of the Florists' Club
to which was referred the matter of
inviting the S. A. F. to meet in Chi-
cago next year held a meeting at the
Union restaurant August 8. The senti-
ment was that inasmuch as Chicago will
have a big spring show and wants
everyone to come in March, 1912, it
would be impolitic to urge that the
trade come here in a body twice within
six months.

N. J. Rupp, of the John C. Moninger
Co., leaves Sunday, August 13, on the
Pennsylvania Limited to have Monday
to set up the company's exhibit in
Baltimore.

Mrs. W. E. Horton, who is right-
hand man at Bassett & Washburn's, is
vacationing in Wisconsin. Miss Ella
Shaffer has returned.

A. Y. Longren has returned from a
month's trip among E. H. Hunt's cus-
tomers in Ohio and Michigan.

A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry,
spent several days of last week with
Indiana florists. Max Ringier has re-
turned from his vacation.

W. W. Randall, of the A. L. Randall
Co., accompanied by Mrs. Randall, will
go to Washington on the Pennsylvania's
Manhattan Limited Sunday for a
couple of days' visit before the S. A.
F. convention, after which they will go
to Philadelphia and New York.

John Zech and Matt Mann not only
do business in partnership, but they do
their traveling in company. Last
winter they visited the Mardi Gras to-
gether and next week they will go to
the convention, thence to New York
by boat and home by way of Niagara
Falls.

Weiland & Risch report having had
their establishment at Evanston com-
pletely replanted August 5.

Henry Wietor and Gus Alles, the lat-
ter the oldest store employee of Wietor
Bros., are making a vacation trip to
Milwaukee, Sheboygan and Port Wash-
ington, Wis.

August and Adolph Poehlmann and
their family have returned from a fort-
night's outing at Wisconsin lake re-
sorts.

The first thing A. Lange did on his
return from his western trip was to
run a midsummer sale of Beauties.

CHINCH BUGS.

Will you kindly give me a remedy .
for destroying that little pest common-
ly known as the chinch bug? I have a
patch of asters that are growing nicely
and about half the crop coming on has
been stung by this troublesome pest. I
have sprayed with kerosene emulsion
and with nicotine solution, but neither
one had any effect on the bug. F. E. V.

I regret inability to give any remedy
for the tarnished plant bug, or chinch
bug, as it is commonly called. This is
destructive on chrysanthemums, asters,
marguerites and that popular fall per-
ennial, Pyrethrum uliginosum, as well
as the annual chrysanthemums. Spraying

with soapy, oil and nicotine solutions
have all proved futile. Possibly by
spraying with something bitter, such as
water in which quassia chips have been
soaked, its ravages might be minimized.
Not having tried this personally, I can
not state what its value is. It would
certainly be a great boon to growers if
some remedy were discovered for this
destructive pest, but at present none is
known, C. W.

Montrose, Mass. — The Montrose

PHILADELPHIA.

The Bifling Eastern Market.

The scarcity of high grade asters is
the feature of the market. There is
a strong demand for fine asters that is
hard to satisfy. Good flowers command
$3 per hundred, selling promptly on ar-
rival in the city. All other flowers are
in ample supply. Easter lilies are sell-
ing well; good flowers bring $1.50 per
dozen; poor ones go slowly. The volume
has changed little during the last six
weeks. Some shipping orders and a few
local orders consume most of the good
stock, while funeral work takes much
of the lower grade blooms. The re^
mainder realizes little or nothing.
Gladioli and short roses are plentiful.
There are a fiew good sweet peas and
some new crop carnations. Business is
full}' up to previous years at this sea-
son.

The Visit to Boelofs.

Joseph Heacock invited some of his
friends to go U]> with him to Roelofs
Station, near Trenton, on Thursday,
August 3, to see the new plant that
his company has established there. The
party gathered at Jenkintown early in
the afternoon and took a local train
through the steadily developing coun-
try lying between Jenkintown and
Roelofs. Mr. Heacock 's guests were D.
T. Connor, Robert Craig, George Craig,
Fred Hahman, Thomas W. Logan, David
Bust, G. C. Watson and .Tohn Westcott.

A level, splendidly made road lies
between Roelofs Station and the plant
of the Joseph Heacock Co., situated on
an 85-acre farm about three-quarters
of a mile from the railroad. Robert
.Jamison, manager of the place, joined
the party there, aiding Mr. Heacock in
explaining the many interesting ar-
rangements.

The greenhouse water and heating
system is probably twenty years ahead
of the times. It contains the most ad-
vanced ideas that have been proved
practically sound. The deep-well arte-
sian pump is so arranged that it starts
mechanically the moment a water spig-
ot is opened anywhere on the place;
this is made possible by the main-
tenance of thirty pounds of pressure

The Way to Succeed

This is the month when you are making your plans
for the opening of the season. You did well last
season. You want to do better next season: or, it
may be that things did not quite come up to your
expectations. You want to improve them. In
either case you want to talk over matters with
someone who is interested in the business. We will
be glad to see you at any time you are in the neigh-
borhood; it will be a pleasure to meet you, and
might be of benefit to us both.

on the steam boiler that runs this pump
and the suction pump which brings con-
densation from the steam heating pipes
in the house back to the boilers.

The steam heating plans, with the dif-
ferent sizes of pipes, the grades and
the distribution, are the result of years
of experience multiplied by common
sense. The air-well that carries off dust
from the machinery is one of the care-
fully planned and executed details that
add to the smoothness with which the
plant is run.

The immense house, 55x600, with its
top and side ventilation, its lofty roof
and concrete beds, gives an idea of sta-
bility suggestive of enduring prosperity.
From this house have been sent to
Philadelphia, during the season just
ending, Killarney, White Killarney and
Richmond blooms that have been equal

— nay, often better than the finest flow-
ers in the market. The house is laid
out in nine beds, divided in the middle
by a broad walk. Three of these beds
have been cut back for their entire
length; they are now starting nicely.
The next three appear ready for cut-
ting back, while the remaining three
have apparently had little drying yet.
Flowers are still being cut that grade
well.

The farm is in excellent order. Cows,
pigs and poultry are thriving; orchard,
grain and potatoes promise an abun-
dant harvest, Avhile grazing fields and
woodland lend variety to the landscape.

The thoroughness with which every-
thing has been done may be best under-
stood by mentioning the fact that all

Great News for 1912

INTRODUCTORY

The Baltimoreans promise to give the members of the S. A. F. one of the most successful conven-
tions ever held. Those attending cannot but realize the wonderlul value these conventions are, with their
splendid lectures, interesting talks, discussions and trade exhibits. Aside from these, the value of the
personal talks with the big men of our profession is often worth the trip — always something to learn —
their opinions on this subject or that, the merits of some of the new introductions in carnations, roses or
other flowers and how best to handle them. A novelty, whether it is in the flower line or in some other
branch of the business, always proves interesting to everyone.

OUR EXHIBIT

Our exhibit at Baltimore will be one of the finest ever staged, containing many things new in
ribbons, supplies and florists' accessories. '•*-

NEW ROSES for 1912

In addition to these, we will have a splendid display
of cut flowers, fresh each day, of the new roses Double
White Killamey and Killamey Queen, originated by the
Budlong Rose Company, and which are to be dissemi-
nated jointly by the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Company and
A. N. Pierson, Inc., in the spring of 1912.

Double White Killarney with its stronger,

more vigorous

growth, larger and heavier flowers, double the petalage
and purer white, is a tremendous improvement over White
Killamey, and is sure to be a money-maker to all who buy,
not only for winter forcing but for summer growing. We
recommend it as being the best and grandest commercial
white rose today. As a summer rose, it is such an im-
provement over Kaiserin that there is no question about
its replacing Kaiserin in that connection. At this writing,
it is three or four times as largo as White Killarney.

Killarney Queen is about three shades darker
^^ than Pink Killarney, and dur-
ing dark and cloudy weather the color does not fade, but
remains a bright, deep, rich pink. It is of very much
more vigorous growth than Killarney, even a stronger
grower than Double White Killarney. Flowers are about
twice as large as Pink Killarney, about the same petalage
and borne on tremendously heavy, long stems, larger and
heavier foliage. Many consider this rose in the American
Beauty class, its habit, growth and size are so vigorous
and far ahead of Pink Killarney.

WELCOME TO VISITORS ^® win be glad to have visitors make our exhibit their headquartera at any or all times during
=^= the convention, where they will find Mr. Fancourt atid his assistants glad to welcome them.

The houses and frames are full, not
overcrowded, with choice plants. Prom-
inent among them are the ferns of Bos-
ton parentage — half a dozen of the old
N. B.'s best youngsters nicely grown in
all the sizes. Of Dracaena Massangeana
there were some stunning specimens in
12-inch tubs, six feet high. Ficus pandu-
rata is better than ever before. The
stems are heavier, the foliage broader.
They had several houses of them, some
single and some branched. The cycla-

mens are a fine sight — first the frames,
then house after house, each a size
larger than the last, until the house of
7-inch plants was reached, the crown-
ing glory of the cyclamens, beautiful
stock, shapely and clean.

Cincinnati has taken the leading
place among the begonias, with Lor-
raine, Lonsdale and Norwood; it is a
great bloomer and keeper. Mr. Macaw
showed all the varieties with proper
pride, pleasant to see. There is a pretty
house of Adiantum hybridum and an-
other of Pandanus Veitchii. One of the
most interesting sights on the whole
place is the Euphorbia Foinsettiana.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

Business here, as it might be stated
in German, is "sehr schlecht"; in
street English this means "rotten."
With the retailers a little goes a long
way. With the wholesalers much goes
to the dump.

The quality of stock of all kinds,
except Easter lilies and America gla-
dioli, was exceptionally poor last
week. A few good roses being shipped
in by the local growers are eagerly
bought up, but the short and minor
grades go begging. Asters are plenti-
ful, but little or no fancy stock has
reached this market. The call for gla-
dioli is slow; America is the only va-
riety in good demand. Small consign-
ments of Lilium rubrum and roseum
are seen at the wholesale houses. Good
Beauties are hard to find.

Various Notes.

The following have reported their in-
tention to join the Pittsburg party for
the convention: Mr. and Mrs. E. C.

who will tour from this city to the
convention in their automobiles.

The much needed rain has come at
last. On Thursday, August 3, there
was almost a deluge in the section
north of this city. At the Bakerstown
plant of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co.,
lightning struck one of the water tow-
ers, but the damage was slight. At
Allison Park, John Wyland escaped
with little damage.

Fred Burki, president of the Pitts-
burg Cut Flower Co., is a busy man
these days. The new connecting range
of 100,000 feet of glass, to be planted
in carnations, is about completed; the
glazing is under way and the planters
are following. The King Construction
Co. supplied the material for this new
addition. A contract for two new
orchid houses has been let to the Lord
& Burnham Co. Bids are being received
for a new water tower and tank, with
a capacity of about 1,500 barrels. With
this new addition, this company has
nearly half a million square feet of
glass, and not an inch of idle space
at any part of the season can be
found.

The P. S. Randolph site for the city's
new tuberculosis hospital has been rec-
ommended by the subcommittee of the
city council. Mr. Randolph bought
these twenty-one acres on Morningside
road, adjoining the Randolph and Mc-
Clements greenhouses, only a few years
ago. The approximate price on which
condemnation proceedings are based is
$50,000.

FOR BHUBABB AlTD MUSHBOOMS.

We have a rhubarb forcing house
under construction, 16x225 feet. It is
forty-two inches high at the sides and
seven feet in the center. Please advise
us how many 114-inch return pipes will
be required to heat this house to the
right temperature for best results. "We
have a steam system and usually carry
three to six pounds of steam. The house
is well built with ship lap and covered
with heavy tar paper. In this part of
Washington state we have zero weather
nearly every winter. Would this house
be suitable for growing mushrooms,
and where can the best mushroom
spawn be procured? W. W. P. C.

If your house is built warmly, I
think eight pipes will be all you will
want. You might put in six or seven
lines and then leave plugs in the open-
ings instead of putting in the other
two. If you find early in the winter
that you could use more pipes, it would
then be only a few hours' work to
screw them in. The house would make
a good mushroom house, but do not for-
get that some ventilation is needed for
both crops. Several reliable dealers in
spawn are advertising in The Review.

The Market.

The local market was in good condi-
tion all of last week. Stock of all
kinds was plentiful and showed the
good effects of the recent showers and
cool nights. The retail business, how-
ever, was dull in all lines and the
wholesalers had a hard time in dispos-
ing of all the stock that came in. It
was only in large lots at cheap prices
that they could move any of the glut
in asters and gladioli. Asters were
offered as low as $10 per thousand for
fairly good stock, the fancy bringing
from $2 to $3 per hundred. The price
on glads has also dropped to $3 and $4
per hundred; extra fancy, $5 per hun-
dred.

Carnations continue scarce. Only a
few good ones are coming in. Soses are
plentiful now, but there is little de-
mand for any of the lower grades.
Lilies, valley, daisies, cornflowers and
snapdragons make up the daily mar-
ket. Good smilax is again to be had.
All other greens are plentiful.

er Siebold and his colleagues have a
great time in store for us. State Vice-
president Weber expects quite a large
delegation of local florists to make the
trip.

Mrs. M. M. Ayres says that now, as
everything is completed at her store,
she will take a two weeks' trip for a
much needed rest.

The store of the Eggeling Floral Co.
is now surrounded by graders. The
residence and sheds were wrecked last
week. They report that the store will
be allowed to stand for a month yet,
before they will have to vacate.

Mr. and Mrs. Carl Beyer, Mr. and
Mrs. John M. Connon and William C.
Young left recently for an eastern trip,
to occupy two weeks. All wilL be in
Baltimore for the convention. Mr.
Young's first stop will be at Atlantic
City, the others going directly to New
York city.

Charles Young and Charlie M. Young,
of the C. Young & Sons Co., have re-
turned from an automobile trip to Chi-
cago, where they stayed a few days.

The local members of the Florists'
Club were much pleased with the ap-

of agriculture in the Philippines. Mr.
Taylor is an honorary member of the
Florists' Club and attended quite a few
of our meetings while connected with
the world's fair here in 1904. We
learned to like him for his many good
qualities and we wish him much success
in his new appointment.

Frank Gorly, of the firm of Grimm
& Gorly, says he will attend the S. A.
F. convention, and the supply men
should keep a sharp lookout for him,
as he says he will take a $1,000 bill
with him, to spend it for anything new.

A visit to Beyer's, Schray's and Fill-
more's places last week found them all
busy with preparations for the fall and
winter season. At Beyer's they were
preparing for the arrival of the fall
bulbs. At Schray 's all hands were busy
putting the houses in shape for housing
plants. At Fillmore 's, Frank and Frank,
Jr., were planting carnations; a fine
house of Pink Delight was seen. They
all say that the last season was a busy
one in all lines.

W. C. Smith and W. J. Pileher spent
a day last week in company with John
E. Steinicke and his big red touring
car, paying visits to some of the grow-
ers in the county. They report their

first stop at the Sanders place, where
they found him busy putting up a new
house. His carnations in the field are
fine; also a fine lot of cyclamen and
poinsettia plants was seen. Werner &
Bro. came next. Their new houses,
32x165, are filled with fine young plants
of Killarney and Eichmond roses. The
carnation houses are also in fine shape
for the coming season. Paul Scheider,
who is known as the green goods man,
supplying the market with Asparagus
plumosus and Sprengeri last season, has
fine houses of carnations, mums and
Boston ferns this year. The Alexander
Floral Co. will grow roses this year.
They have a fine lot of young plants
of Killarney and other roses. At Ja-
blonsky's place all hands were busy
packing and shipping carnation plants.
Several houses have already been
planted and are looking their best. John
Steidle's place came next. He is build-
ing a new residence and his rose and
carnation houses are all in excellent
shape for a big crop this season. Anton
Bros. ', Charles Hecht 's and Joe Dietch-
mann's places are all looking well. They
were busy glazing and housing their
carnation plants. Phil Goebel's and
George Goebel 's places came next. They
were busy planting carnations. Mums
and violets are grown here. They ex-
pect a good crop this season. The vis-
itors report that while out on this trip
they found the violet plants in poor
shape and the prospect for this season
is a scarcity of violets, but, on the oth-
er hand, they say there will be a big
crop of carnations and chrysanthemums
for this market. J. J. B.

is a new concern in the seed corn line.

Clifton Curtis is starting into seed
growing at Hollister, Cal., with thirty
acres. He will specialize on radish, let-
tuce and carrots.

The John H. Allan Seed Co., Sheboy-
gan, Wis., began pea picking July 31,
with a force of ninety-three girls the
first day. To a reporter Mr. Parmelee
declined to commit himself on the crop,
which is undeniably short.

Howard M. Earl, of W. Atlee Burpee
& Co., visited the seed growers of the
San Juan valley, California, August 2.
He left Philadelphia July 20, taking in
northern New York, northern Michigan,
Utah and Idaho on the way to the coast,
and after calling at the Burpee farm at
Lompoc will visit Colorado and Oklahoma
growers on the way home, being due to
arrive in Philadelphia August 14.

The seed growers of the Santa Clara
and San Juan districts agree that the
crop about to be harvested will be a good
average one, with the single exception
of sweet peas, and the last will be better
than half a crop. The early spring con-
-ditions were such as to warrant rather
gloomy predictions, but, fortunately, late
spring and summer conditions were

favorable and enabled everything but
sweet peas to recover the lost ground.

Seed houses now offer Freeeia Purity,
California grown, greenhouse grown or
Bermuda grown.

The fall bulb catalogues are more
niunerous, more elaborate, larger and
most of them were out earlier this sea-
son than usual.

The Coulter-Adams Seed Co., of Ogden,
Utah, reports the crop of garden peas as
fully as good as that of last year and
states that it will be able to fill orders
100 per cent.

The interest of W. Rozzelle in the
Grand Junction Seed Co., at Grand Junc-
tion, Colo., has been purchased by W. L.
Burgess, formerly of Forkston, Pa. The
owners of the stock company now are
Mr. Burgess, J. P. Phipps and J. D.
Conley. Plans are being made for in-

creasing the facilities and greatly en-
larging the business, especially the whole-
sale department.

The Holland bulb men sure well satis-
fied with the season to date. They have
had a good business and the stock they
are shipping they think will prove of
quality to give excellent satisfaction.

the taller growing plants being sun-

but conditions since the early part of
the year have been much improved.

It is interesting to note that the
vicinity of Santa Clara, formerly the
most important of the California seed
growing districts, has been largely aban-
doned by the growers. The principal
movement has been some fifty to 100
miles south, several of the largest seed
farms being now located in tbe San
Juan valley section, of which Hollister
is the business center. This valley aver-
ages somewhat cooler in summer than
the Santa ClaJa valley, on account of
the cool sea breezes that enter through
the Pajaro gap in the coast range. The
soil is mainly silt and quite similar
to that of the celebrated orchard land of
the Pajaro valley. It seems to be excel-
lently adapted to seed crops.

The new crop of most of the German
natural grass seeds is being harvested
under favorable conditions, says Julius
Loewith, the New York agent for Conrad
Appel, of Darmstadt. The seed is of
heavy weight and bright color, and prices
will be much lower than last season. Only
the crop of Agrostis stalonifera and ca-
nina, marsh bent or florin grass, S. Ger-
man and Bhode Island bent grass, which
will be harvested in August and" Septem-
ber, are injured by the hot weather dur-
ing June and July, and the quantity ob-

buy 100 bunches of quite fair quality.
There are a few of the long-stemmed
varieties, however, that sell readily
and at near their value. Valley has
lost prestige also and its sale was slow
August 5, with 2 cents as top. Lilies
fell to 4 cents and under. There was
no fault to be found with the quality
and the shipments now are not over-
abundant. Plenty of rudbeckiii and
hydrangeas add to the inevitable Au-
gust surplus. There is no decrease in
sweet pea shipments, and the long-
stemmed ones do not have to beg for
recognition. There are none too many
orchids and prices remain steady, with
60 cents as top for the selected gigas.
Carnations, with the possible exception
of a few specialties, do not bring over
$1. , Roses are largely short-stemmed
and only a few bring a price worth
mentioning; 20 cents was top for
American Beauty August 5.

Various Notes.

There are some handsome retail win-
dows of water lilies. Peter Henderson
& Co., on Cortlandt street, have made
an especially good showing.

The convention is the chief topic in
floricultural New York. Chairman
Traendly desires that every one in-
tending to take the special train via
the B. & 0., August 13, send him his
name not later than Saturday, August
12, This is a necessity in view of the
large number who must be entertained.

Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Wilson, of Des
Moines, la., are in the city on their
way home from the advertising men's
convention at Boston.

Mr. Velie, of the Boston oflBce of
Lord & Burnham Co., is away follow-
ing an operation for appendicitis, his
place being taken by Mr. De Forest.
The concern is busy on the $11,000 ad-
dition to the greenhouses of the New
Jersey experiment station at New
Brunswick.

Percy B. Rigby, of the Pennock-
Meehan Co., and Mrs. Rigby, are away
this week on their annual vacation.

Andrew Cova, manager of the sup-
ply department of George Cotsonas &
Co., is back from Europe and says the
importations of this house will be heavy
this fall. The firm is sending out a
new catalogue. The stork visited Mr.
Cotsonas last month and left a son and
heir.

Miss Jeanette McManey, bookkeeper
for Charles Millang, will enjoy her holi-
day at Lake George.

Mrs. Millang, the venerable mother of

weeks' vacation at the seashore. Mr.
Moltz and Mr. Glass find Averne and
Bockaway sufficiently interesting for
their holidays.

Leo Kosen, of Eussin & Hanfling's,
is at Pine Hill, N. Y.

Frank Traendly and family have
been at Atlantic City, the ex-president,
in a gorgeous bathing suit, exciting the
envy of the board-walkers.

S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, was
a recent visitor.

H. Bayersdorfer arrived here last
week from his European trip.

W. A. Sperling, of the Stumpp &
Walter Co., will have charge of the
firm's exhibit at Baltimore.

A. L. Young has turned the entire
building, which he has leased, at 54
West Twenty-eighth street, into offices
and is about ready for business. Mr.
Young turns his hand successfully to
everything he undertakes.

Meyer, of Badgley, Kiedel & Meyer, is
back much rejuvenated by his vacation.

Eeed & Keller are shipping their ex-
hibit to Baltimore this week. Mr.
Beed will be in charge.

Arthur Hunt, of H. H. Langjahr's,
has fully recovered from the operation
of a month ago.

Mr. Nash, of Moore, Hentz & Nash,
is away with his family on their annual
outing.

The report that B. S. Slinn, Jr., was
in Europe should have read Long
Island.

Jos. J. Levy and family return Au-
gust 12 from the Catskills.

Mr. Stumpp, of the Stumpp & Walter
Co., returned August 7 from his trip
to Europe, and Mr. Walter and family
left for their regular summer outing at
the Maine resorts.

George Lenker, son of Charles Len-
ker, of Freeport, has returned from Ger-
many.

Miss L. Meyers, of W. Elliott & Sons,
has gone to White Lake for three
weeks.

John Wilk, the seedsman on East

a month's holiday in the Catskills.

P. J. Smith handled over 10,000 lilies
last week.

Bowling.

F. E. Pierson was unable to be pres-
ent at the distribution of his bowling
trophies August 4, but the happy re-
ceivers of his gifts were loud in ap-
preciation of his encouragement. The
Astorias, who were expected to play a
match with the New Yorks August 4,
must have missed their trolley or failed
of a quorum, so the match was post-
poned.

Captain Chadwick will have a strong
team to represent New York at Balti-
more. It seems to be the general opin-
ion that Astoria, Flatbush, Madison
and Jersey City all have the right to
be represented by teams of their own
selection at the convention.

Tuesday evening, August 1, by Mr. and
Mrs. William F. Gude. A lecture by
Mr. Vfncent and a general program of
music and recitation formed the even-

The T)5autifully decorated and illumi-

Liliiifli Harrisii

(THE BERMUDA EASTER LILY)

«•!■

LET US SUPPLY YOUR WANTS IN LILIES THIS SEASON

'We think we can make it to your advantage to do io» at regir6» both quality and price.

The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grow^n for us by a few selected gto-w-
ers whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In order to insure the health of the product, the bulbs are not
grown on the same field oftener than one season, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thor-
oughly manured when the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted ,
no fresh manure is used ; this prevents disease and insures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the ground until they are
thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is very little, if any, stock obtain-
able as good as the stock that we are offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stock and when this is disposed
of we shall have no more to offer.

Wliile the quality of tbe stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices of those who
offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers will find our stock very satisfactory, and
much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has badly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have exceptional facilities for
obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer are 6-7 inch bulbi, not 5-7 inch, as usually
offered.

6- 7 inch bulbs, 350 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $ 40.00 per 1000

7- 9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, 16.00 per case; full thousand lots, 75.00 per 1000
9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, . 18.00 per case; full thousand lots, 175.00 per 1000

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties— good, bushy, well-grown plants that will please the
most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots and are thoroughly well established and nicely finished.

Nephrolepis Bostoniensis and Piersoni, 6-inch pots $0.50 each

Nephrolepis Elegantissima, Piersoni, Bostoniensis and Harrisii, heavy 8-inch plants . $1.00 to 1.50 each

strangers with a lasting realization of
the hospitality and public spirit of the
business men of the capital. Nothing
of the kind is contemplated. If any
of the visitors to the convention feel
a desire to visit Washington, gaze on
the dome of the capitol, ride to the
top of the Washington monument, and
make the patriotic pilgrimage to the
mausoleum of Washington, they are
welcome to do so and the right hand
of fellowship will be extended to all
who give the high sign and murmur the
password. "It would not be in good
taste for us to do more," said a prom-
inent florist who attended the business
meeting August 1. "The program at
Baltimore will be so full that it would
be impolite for us to break into it. ' ' In
fact, little is said about the business
meeting in question. The social fea-
tures were a success. Mr. and Mrs.
William F. Gude turned their home over
to the guests and there was plenty of
sociability and amusement. There was
another business meeting August 8.
Nothing of great interest came up.

The Market.

Trade is good for this time of year,
although tinged rather strongly with
seasonal dullness. The presence of Con-
gress helps to prevent a total slump.
Weddings and funerals give many or-
ders. Not a little business comes from
out of town, some of it from points as
far distant as New York, Norfolk and
Richmond.

The first cuttings of new Beauties
were made about a week ago. The
blooms were good and the demand ac-
tive. Stock in general is improving in
quality, except carnations and a few
other things. Asters are better and
plentiful at 50 cents and upward.
Among roses, Kaiserin is showing up

All bulbs of quality must
bear a price in proportion to
the skill, time, expense and
risk attending their cultiva-
tion and distribution. Those
bulbs termed dear are usu-
ally, when justly estimated,
the cheapest ; they are culti-
vated with much less profit
than those usually termed
cheap. The business of sup-
plying bulbs cheaply and not
attending to that excellence
of quality necessary to even-
tual success is the most fre-
quent and certain cause of
business decadence among
bulb houses throughout the
world. It costs more to pro-
duce ten Giganteum of supe-
rior quality than it does
twenty of common caliber.
Really good Giganteum must
be planted very deep in the
soil and well fertilized and
cultivated. It takes much
longer and costs much more,
but the bulbs are worth all
it costs to those who know
bulb values. Horseshoe
Brand Giganteum are today
the best we know of, and we
can recommend them to the
most exacting growers of lily
bulbs in the world. The cost
to you is exactly in propor-
tion to what you pay for—
they are a -la -carte Gigan-
teum. Write for prices —
they are the kind your busi-
ness requires.

SOUTHEBNEBS WELL MEET.

The thirteenth annual session of the
Southern Nurserymen 's Association, em-
bracing the states south of the Mason
and Dixon line, will be held at Greens-
boro, N. C, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, August 23, 24 and 25. The open-
ing session invocation will be made by
Eev. E. K. McLarty, and addresses of
welcome will be delivered by Mayor
T. J. Murphy and President E. C. Hood
of the Chamber of Commerce.

The association was organized thir-
teen years ago in Chattanooga, Tenn.,
by a few energetic nurserymen and
since that time has held sessions an-
nually. It has met in several different
places. Two of the most prominent
members of the association are J. Van
Lindley, president of the Van Lindley
nurseries at Pomona, a suburb of
Greensboro, and John A. Young, pro-
prietor of the Greensboro nurseries.
Both have held the office of president
of the association. The present officers
are: W. A. Easterly, of Cleveland,
Tenn., president; Aubrey Fink, of "Win-
chester, Tenn., vice-president; A. L.
Smith, of Knoxville, secretary-treas-
urer.

NUBSERYMAN AND ENTOMOLO-
GIST.

[A paper by S. J. Hnnter, state entomologist.
University of Kansas, read at the convention of
the American Association of Nurserymen in St.
Loals, June 14 to 16, 1011.]

In the fall of 1896 the Kansas nur-
serymen asked the entomologist of the
University of Kansas to assume re-
sponsibility for the inspection of Kan-
sas nurseries. For eleven years without
legal requirement these nurserymen, of
their own volition, asked for inspection
annually. And then they caused the
enactment of our present law. So what
I have to say might be classed under
"Fifteen Years Among Nurserymen."

Hiram T. Jones

Daion County Nurseries, Bizabeth, N. J.

The nurseryman and his business are
not always clearly understood. The in-
dividuals who travel about the country
buying stock where they may and sell-
ing where they can, regardless of con-
sequences, are not nurserymen. A
nurseryman in the proper sense of the
term is a biologist, a student of that
invisible stream of life which courses
through twig and leaf. To be success-
ful, therefore, he must have a high
and proper conception of his vocation
and its responsibilities.

The Modem Nurseryman.

In my annual visits among our Kan-
sas nurserymen I have been not only
interested but deeply impressed with
the spirit of experimentation mani-
fested in the earnest desire to improve
present varieties and to develop new
ones. As a result the nurseryman is
now a competent authority on varieties
adapted to given regions and the cul-
ture such require. In my own state,
the first planted orchards were in the
main non-productive. Their planters
had no opportunity to profit by the
experiences of the present-day nursery-
man.

It was my good fortune once to be a
country school teacher and janitor ex-
officio. There is the place to deal with
the country life problems. If the
teacher places proper emphasis on the
marvelous possibilities of the farmer
and fruit grower, rather than idealiz-
ing those vocations which have their
centers in cities, then our young peo-
ple will look more toward rural life for
the realization of their ambitions.

What Is an Entomolog^ist?

And now it may properly be asked,
what is an entomologist? The public
frequently associates him with the but-
terfly net. In reality he has little or
nothing to do with the capture of in-
sects, but his time and energy are
largely devoted to those fundamental

questions which deal with the relation
of plants and insects and the develop-
ment of both. He, too, is a student
of biology and, as such, should be fel-
low investigator in a common interest
with the nurseryman.

The nurseryman and the entomologist
are now likewise associated through
legal enactment, and it is this phase of
the subject that doubtless concerns this
association most. In this relation it
goes without saying that both should
be men of integrity. The entomologist
should be a man of good sense and pos-
sessed of a reasonable amount of fair
judgment. He should be a man to
whom you will always want to tell
your troubles. If he is not, there is
something wrong either with him or
with you. He should keep you advised
at all times regarding the nature and
condition of your stock and treat your
business as strictly confidential.

Manner and Purpose of Inspection.

It has been my uniform experience
that nurserymen wagt rigid inspection
and that they have little patience or
respect for things that do not mean
what they say. The certificate of in-
spection is not a commodity to facili-
tate business, but the outward expres-
sion of a standard which every true
nurseryman endeavors to maintain. If
this be not so, then it should be evi-
dent that each state in its own interest

must assume the responsibility for this
standard.

I believe that we will all agree that
just at this time it is unusually easy to
find fault, but constructive criticism is
what we want. The nurseryman and
the entomologist can be of mutual help-
fulness. Such, however, can be only
through mutual confidence and earnest
cooperation.

It goes without saying that we need
greater uniformity in state require-
ments, but there will always be ques-
tions which each state must settle for
itself. The nurserymen of each state,
therefore, should have a part in deter-
mining the policy of its inspection reg-
ulations. It should not and can not
be properly done independently of
them. If present arrangements can
not give you a voice, you should
ask for it, A state entomologist some
time ago asked me what he could do
to improve the eflSciency of his nur-
sery department. I told him to select
from among his nurserymen an ad-
visory committee of representative
nurserymen and to counsel with them
fully regarding all of his plans of
operation.

Problems of the Entomologist.

The entomologist can be made one
of your most valuable assets. You
need never question his intentions. His
judgment may not always appeal to
you. The entomologist has his prob-
lems in the administration of his part
of the nursery business. The certificate
carries with it his standing. If the cer-
tificate is misused it reflects directly
upon him. He finds it difficult at times
to classify as a nurseryman an ap-

plicant for a certificate who has but a
few plants on a vacant lot.

Nurserymen are coming to establish
fellowships whereby the entomologists
cooperate with them in solving some of
the problems which are now costing
them thousands of dollars annually.
Some nurserymen are sending their
sons to universities for special train-
ing in entomology. Others are placing
an entomologist on their working staff.
This is the proper attitude and one cer-
tain of results.

Good Out of Evil.

"It is an ill wind that blows nobody
good." To petty thieves we owe the
discovery of the wonderful fungicidal
power of the Bordeaux mixture, first
placed on grapes as a protection
against pilferers. Injurious insects
have proven an incentive to proper
culture.

When we consider that more than
one-half of our injurious insects are
foreigners imported into our country,
that foreign imports of nursery stock
increase with each year and that with
these we are in great danger of in-
troducing enemies of horticulture ca-
pable of creating great losses and be-
coming heavy handicaps to the business
represented here, we should be fully
awake to the necessity of most hearty

This is a time of getting together,
the day of cooperation, of government
by commission. The entomologist and
the nurseryman, then, working as a
commission, are in harmony with the
times. In no other way can either ob-
tain so good results.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.

The Market.

There is but little to report in the
way of business. Things have settled
down to the regular midsummer state
and, outside of an occasional funeral,
there is little doing. All the growers
are busy replanting their houses and
getting ready for the next season.
Eoses are all in and carnations are be-
ing housed as rapidly as possible.
Everybody seems to be planting earlier
than usual this year.

Various Notes.

The Smith & Young Co. expects to
get its new downtown distributing
house in operation in the near future,
so as to have things in smooth running
condition when the new season opens.

At Baur & Steinkamp 's all hands have
been busy housing carnations, having
finished the work August 3. The stock
here looks exceptionally good this sea-
son. Poinsettias are being shipped in
large quantities, and a finer lot of
young plants would be hard to find.
Their early asters were of fine quality.
A house of about 6,000 plants will be
in fine crop in about a week. Semple's
and Carlson's are grown for midseason,
the Comet varieties being poor sellers
in this market.

At the Pahud Floral Co. carnations
are all benched. We notice that this
firm is this season trying beds built
according to the recommendations of
The Eeview's carnation expert. Their
mums are in fine shape.

is beginning . to cut roses from the
young stock. The stems are as yet
short, but the flowers are good.

An inquiry has been started into the
conditions at the city market, of which
the flower market is a part. There
seems to be too much middleman in the
produce section, causing excessive
prices. There are not many middlemen
in the flower market, nearly all the
stands being conducted by growers, so
the florists are not likely to be mo-
lested. An interesting fact brought
out by the investigation is that in-
stead of the market having been con-
ducted as a place where the public
could buy produce fresh and at reason-
able figures, the city has for many
years past run it as a revenue producer.
A clear profit of some $25,000 per year
has been levied on the stand holders,
which, of course, had to come out of
the ultimate consumer.

Attention is called to the state fair,
which is to be held September 4 to 8.
Entries will close August 19, and no
entries will be received after that date.
The State Florists' Association of In-
diana practically has charge of the
floricultural department and during the
last three years has worked great im-
provement in that department. Pros-

PACIFIC COAST.

Santa Cruz, Cal. — The Leedham Bulb
Co. is completing a greenhouse, 22x100,
which will be used to bring in early
crops of daffodil blooms and for propa-
gating. The company has lately been
making large shipments of gladiolus
spikes, for which there has been a very
good market. J. H. Willey, who has
been the manager for the last three
years, has considerably developed the
business.

Wenatchee, Wash.— The Milot-Mills
Co. has completed a new addition to its
greenhouses. There will be no need of
purchasing another boiler, as the pres-
ent boiler has ample capacity to care
for the enlarged range. Business has
been good and there has been no hin-
drance here to the growth of stock, as
sunshine and water are both plentiful;
an abundance of water for irrigation
is obtained from the Wenatchee river.
Leon I. Milot, the manager, left re-
cently for a trip to the east.

BimUNaAME, CAL.

On her recently purchased estate at
Hillsborough, Miss Jennie Crocker has
put up a range of four greenhouse^
each 26x200, for roses, carnations and
other stock; also one cheesecloth hous^
for chrysanthemums. These will be'
run on a commercial basis by her super-
intendent, Henry Maier, in conjunction
with the propagating and show houses
of old standing and the general nursery
business in Burlingame.

The land on which the new houses
are erected is located near the main
entrance to the estate and is level,
rich and sheltered. It was formerly
rented to Chinese, who grew cut flowers
for the market, but on account ot the
good location a good deal of retail
business had been worked up. The
transfer from Chinamen to a million-
aire is considered by the growers to be
for the better, as it will not lower
prices. C. N.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

We are still having cold weather,
which, although somewhat out of sea-
son, admits of the production of plenty
of good stock. Asters are rather more
plentiful than they were and the price
has fallen. They will be in full crop
in a few days and, though there is not
as great an acreage devoted to them
this year as there was last season, there
will he sufficient for all wants. Gla-
dioli are now in their prime, but are
not moving as well as they did a year
ago. America and Augusta are the best
sellers, while the mixed sorts are hard
to dispose of. Dahlias are being used
considerably by the stores in window
decorating, but otherwise are not much
in demand.

Carnations are still in only fair crop,
owing to the fact that many growers
are changing stock at this time. Many
of them are short-stemmed and the
prices match the quality. Boses are in
better form and color than they have
been for the last month and the demand
for good stock is becoming more notice-
able daily. Japanese lilies of several
kinds are now at their best and are
selling well. In a general way it may

Business is still at a low ebb, de-

Carnations awr becoming scarce, and
are diminishing^ irt size, as well. Asters
are coming along nicely, but the dry
weather has impaired their quality..
Eoses are poor; thrips seems to be pre-
valent on all sides. Rubrum and aura-
tum lilies are plentiful. .

A LARGE SIGN IN ELK COLORS.

I wish to get some information on a
matter of landscaping. A watering-
place hotel at this town, in the southern
part of the state of Washington, has
ordered a large floral sign made of
purple flowers. Is there anything I
can use except lobelias or ageratums
and what would be the best plant to
use for shading the letters? The sign

is to occupy a sloping bank, 10x150
feet, at the railroad depot. The pro-
prietor is an Elk and wants this done
in Elk colors. W. T. J.

As purple is the Elk color and the
shade used is designated as "royal,"
it does not seem that there is much to
use except one of the dark lobelias.
The writer uses Lobelia compacta Blue
King for lettering where an especially
dark, rich effect is desired. Although
this sort has a white eye, it seems to
stay in the erect shape better and
keep in blossom longer than any of the
other kinds that are used in border
work. L. Erinus speciosa and L. Erinus
gracilis are much harder to keep in
shape. As the only decided contrast,
with which to shade the letters, would
be something in a very light color, W.
T. ,T. might use Alternanthera aurea
nana. This is about the only article
that will correspond in style and
growth to the lobelia. Alyssums do not
stay in blossom long enough, and
geraniums and achyranthes grow too
fast to be of value for this sort of
e^^ging. G.

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

The usual summer lull is now being
experienced in this city, though an
unusual run of funeral work has kept
things moving along up to the present
time. While this sluggishness has con-
tinued, the dearth of first-class stock
has not been so appreciable as would
have otherwise been the case. Prices
rule about normal.

Warren N. Salisbury, a Chicago million-
aire. It is located in the heart of the
Berkshire Hills and is presided over
by J. W. Pybus, formerly of Lenox.
Some idea of the immensity of the pro-
posed improvements can be formed
from the fact that a contract for laying
out the sunken gardens, including
walks, pergolas, summer houses and the
like, is to cost $30,000, and this is but
a part of the undertaking. There will
be a magnificent residence in the
Grecian style of architecture, surround-
ed by a beautiful park, with a lake in
close view of the house. Mr. Pybusf
has plans for forming a perennial gar-
den as a leading feature. M.

The Market.

We are in the midst of the dull sea-
son, broken only by an occasional
funeral. The local cut flower crop is
now limited to some good outdoor roses
and tuberoses, the latter especially
being first-class and cut by some grow-
ers in abundance. The rainy season
has somewhat abated and at present
the weather is ideal for all kinds of
plants.

On account of the exceptionally large
demand for poinsettias last Christmas,
this splendid seller is grown this year
by several florists in large quantities,
and the plants seen at present look
strong and healthy. These plants grow
here quite easily and are vigorous, and
it is to be expected that in the future
some large grower will make a spe-
cialty of them for shipping purposes.
The heavy frost last January killed
hundreds of them planted in the open
ground all over the city, and the de-
mand this season will be heavy.

The growing on of winter flowering
plants is limited here on account of
our climatical conditions and most of
them are either imported or shipped
from northern markets. This city, with
its natural advantages, is surely the
place to grow tropical and semi-tropical
foliage plants, ferns and orchids. Al-
though only the last named are at pres-
ent imported and grown for wholesale
purposes, some enterprising florist will
one day take the advantage and estab-
lish a wholesale business for all kinds of
stock profitably grown here.

Various Notes.

Many of the local florists took ad-
vantage of the dull season and went on
their yearly summer trips and no doubt

on Baker street property, and will plant
them with chrysanthemums, to be fol-

are some distance from the street, with
which they run parallel, and a glass-

MILWAtJKEE.

The Market.

Business last week was nothing to
brag about, as most of the society folk
are out of town and there is no funeral
work to speak of.

The supply of asters is on the in-
crease, but not so the quality. Gladioli
are quite abundant and of good qual-
ity, and roses are about equal to the
demand. Plenty of good lilies can be
had at all times.

Various Notes.

At the last meeting of the Florists'
Club, which was well attended, James
Currie, superintendent of the Forest
Home cemetery, and Adolph Groth, of
North Milwaukee, were elected to mem-
bership. Preliminary premium lists for
the fall show, to be held November 15
to 19, were distributed and circulars
showing the program for the S. A. F.
convention at Baltimore were passed
out by Secretary Mueller. The matter
of using wire designs more than once
was brought up for discussion and it
was shown how easily contagious dis-
eases can be spread in this manner.

The following will represent Milwau-
kee at the Baltimore convention: Mr.
and Mrs. C. C. Pollworth, Wm. Currie
and H. W. Koerner.

Jim Matthewson, of Sheboygan, Wis.,
while in this city Monday, became the
possessor of a fine Eeo auto, which he
tested by riding home in it.

Tom Cassiday and Philip Weil, of
the C. C. Pollworth store force, left on
a two weeks' vacation last Saturday.

The baseball team and their friends,
of the Holton & Hunkel force at Brown
Deer, made merry lest Saturday even-
ing by giving a dancing party.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

August 10, 1911.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The Market.

Considering the season, trade has
been good. Flowers are plentiful.
Asters are in full swing. Carnations
are about gone, but the young stock is
nearly all planted. Asters retail at
35 cents per dozen. Owing to the dry
spell in July, they are a little late, the
early ones being still in full bloom.
The recent rains have helped the late
ones. Carnations — the few that are
brought in — retail at 35 cents per
dozen. Boses retail at $1 and $1.50 per
dozen; they are fairly good for this
time of the year. Gladioli retail at $1
and $1.50 per dozen. Sweet peas are
none too plentiful, as the dry spell
worked havoc with them; 50 cents per
hundred blooms is the general retail
price. Candytuft helps out a great
deal. Funeral work has been good.
There is a fairly good call for nice
potted ferns.

Various Notes.

The stores still close early. Vacations
are also on the slate.

Harry Vranzler, with E. H. Cham-
berlain, spent last week at Oak Bluffs,
Mass.

We are having nice weather, with
cool nights. W. L.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

We have had a succession of violent
storms and rain, which at times turned
roads into rivers, uprooted trees and
destroyed growing crops — at one time
over six inches of rain fell in forty-
eight hours. Cut flowers were excep-
tionally scarce last week and stock is
poor in character generally, including
outside roses, which usually cut a great
figure at this season. On all sides com-
plaints are heard of the bad effect on
all outside stock caused by the hail
storm which we had six weeks ago.
Carnations were the hardest hit, the
hail splitting the plants to pieces.

Convention News.

The preparations for the convention,
with the exception of a few minor de-
tails, are completed. All visitors are
requested to stay the full length of
time, if possible, for the last day will
be .iust as instructive and entertaining
as the first one. Q.

ASHTABULA, OHIO.

The Tong & Weeks Floral Co. has
been incorporated, with a capital stock
of $20,000, and will take over the green-
houses of the Ashtabula Greenhouse Co.
and of Tong & Weeks, as well as the
Center street store of the latter firm.
H. Tong will have charge of the green-
houses and De Forest Weeks will con-
duct the store.

It is the plan of the company to de-
vote to growing roses and carnations
one-half of the capacity of the green-
houses on Bunker Hill, which were for-
merly operated by the Ashtabula Green-
house Co. as vegetable houses. The
other half will be used for vegetables.
The benches for the roses and carna-
tions have already been constructed.
When this feature is developed the
concern will start a wholesale depart-
ment in flowers.

WHERE THE BEST IS FOUND

The wisest men 1 know in the world are those

who seek the best;
The Florists will go to Baltimore, and this Is

their only quest;
To see what the workers are doing, the men who

put all their thought
In the flowers they grew, they love them so, and

are proud of what they wrought.

But on tlie way there are marvels, the perfect is

easily seen
In Godfrey Aschmann's greenhouses, where hix

araucarias green.

Or covered with azure sheen, where the hue of

the sky shines clear
Through perfect form, made resplendent ia beauty

without a peer.

Do not miss them, my brothers; the City of

Brotherly Love
Will give you a hearty welcome, and there you

will easily prove
That Aschmann's will complete your Journey, all

that Is wanted you'll see.
I ask you all for a visit; come, spesd a few

hours with me.

Greenhouse Heating.

Subscribers are invited to write the
editor of the Heating Department, de-
scribing their troubles or asking any
questions regarding the heating of green-
houses, the piping or boiler-room. But
please do not ask us to make a choice of
apparatus for you. Each article adver-
tised in this department of The Review
is good, and the advertisers sell them on
their merits.

HEATIXG FLOSISTS' DWELUNGS.

We wish to heat our two dwelling
houses from the greenhouse boilers.
Would it be practicable? What size of
flow and return pipe would be needed f
Both flow and return would be under-
ground. We carry about twenty pounds
of steam on the boilers. One of the
dwelling houses is about 200 feet from
the boilers and about ten feet above
the water line in the boilers. The
other dwelling is about 400 feet from
the boilers and about fifteen feet above
the water line. Would a return steam
trap be any advantage in a gravity
system! W. C.

The dwellings could be readily heated
by steam from the heating plant if the
pipes can be carried underground with
a rise all of tbe way. Nothing is said
about the size of the dwellings, but if
they do not contain more than ten
rooms each a 2-inch flow and a 114-iQch
return would undoubtedly answer for
each of them.

The pipes should be well insulated
to prevent loss of heat. They can be
carried in sewer pipe, using 8-inch
sewer pipe for the flows and 6-inch
for the returns; or, better yet, con-
struct a cement conduit, about twelve
inches wide and eight inches deep, in
which both pipes can be carried. The
cover can also be of cement slabs,
about 2x14x18 inches. Ordinary as-
bestos pipe covering can be used for
the pipes. It may be possible to sup-
ply both houses from one main, in
which case it might be desirable to
use 2%-inch and 1%-inch pipes. There
would be no occasion for having a
steam trap on the system on account
of supplying the dwellings, but it might
assist in getting a better return from
the greenhouse coils.

HOT WATEB FOB ONE HOUSE.

I wish to get your advice on heating
a house 25x100 feet, six feet to the
gutters and about thirteen feet to the

are all satisfied with tbe results it has given, and many
duplicate orders is the proof. This Valve 'will main-
tain a steady pressure on the low side, no matter
how the initial pressure fluctuates. By carrying 40 or 50
pounds pressure on the boiler and setting the valve to
carry 5 or 10 pounds on the line, you always have a
reserve to fall back on in rase of a sudden drop in tem-
perature. Our ne^iv oataloarue Is lust out and if
you contemplate making any cnanges you bad better

is to run four 4-inch flows, two at each
gutter, and eighteen 2-inch returns.
Would it be more satisfactory to run
one flow at each gutter, and one at
each purlin? Is l^^-inch pipe as satis-
factory as 2-inch for returns? If so,
how many returns would I need? Does
painting the pipes reduce their heating
power? What size of boiler would I
need to heat the house to a temperature
of about 60 degrees in this Illinois
climate? W. B. W.

If four 4-inch flows are used, thirteen
2-inch returns will be needed to main-
tain a temperature of 60 degrees in
the house described. However, it will
be found that four 2i^-inch flow
pipes will 8u£5ce to maintain the de-
sired temperature, with fifteen 2-inch
returns, and this arrangement is sug-
gested, placing two flows on the pur-
lins. In shorter houses 1^-inch returns
answer quite well, but when the houses
are over seventy-five feet long, it is
better to use 2-inch pipes for the re-
turns. A boiler with a rating of 1,500
square feet will be ample. If a paint
composed of lampblack and equal
parts of turpentine and linseed oil is
used, it will not impede the heating.

HEAT FOR SERVICE BUILDING.

We have a two-story frame ofiice and
service building that we want to heat
with a separate system from any other.
We recently purchased a heating outfit
that had been used for steam. We
have thirteen direct flow 16-foot wall
coils, 1-inch pipe, of eight pipes each,
manifold tapped 1-inch. We have
about 1,000 feet of 114-inch, 2-inch,
214-inch, 3-inch and 4-inch pipe to go
with it. Our building is 40x130 feet,
two-story frame, with building paper
for inside walls. The first floor has a
10-foot ceiling, the second floor an
8-foot ceiling. We want to heat with
hot water. Could we use the steam
piping by reversing the flow and return
pipes? We want to place the boiler at
about the center of the building on one
side. Could you tell us what size of
boiler we woiild need and also the size
and amount of pipe needed, providing
we could not use the pipe we have?

on the first floor. The data given, how-
ever, is not sufficient to tell just how
much radiation or how large a boiler
will be required, since this depends
largely on the amount of window sur-
face, which is not stated. The quantity
of each of the different sizes of pipes
is not stated.

In a general way, a building of the
size and kind described will require
about 1,200 square feet of radiating
surface, plus two-thirds as much as the
area of glass in the windows, to heat
it to 70 degrees. For 65 degrees, the
quantity can be reduced fifteen per
cent.

As a rule it is better to use 1%-inch
or 2-inch pipe for hot water, and unless
the boiler can be in a cellar or base-
ment, it might be better to use steam
for the building described, in which
case the amount of radiation can be
reduced one-half. A twenty-five horse-
power boiler would undoubtedly be suf-
ficiently large for heating the building.

BOCHESTEB.

The Market.

Last week's weather was good for
flowers. It was cool and cloudy, with
enough sunshine and rain to make
things grow. Hence the supply is abun-
dant and the demand is equally good.
Asters and sweet peas seem to be most
abundant, and the quality of both is
good, though many of the asters have
short stems, due to the dry weather
during July. Boses are scarce and
are sold about as soon as they come in.
White roses are at a premium and bring
a good price. Lilium Harrisii are
scarce and so are callas. Killarneys,
Marylands, Kaiserins and Wards are
all of good quality. Sweet peas are
much better than they have been for
some time. Lilies of the valley are
holding up well and bring a good price.
Gladioli are in good condition and much
more plentiful than at the last writing.

Garden flowers are in great demand.
Many private gardens, being neglected
during the hot spell, suffered from
drought; consequently the owners of
these gardens must now come to the
florists for flowers for all occasions.
Hence the great demand, and all sorts
of garden flowers bring a good price.
Cornflowers retail at 10 cents per
dozen; Golden Glow, 25 cents per
dozen; phlox, 35 cents per dozen; gla-
dioli, $1 per dozen; asters, 50 cents
per dozen; yellow daisies, 25 cents per

Trade in general is rather dull, but
there is enough left to let one feel that
there is still some life throbbing under-

Read What They Say

'*In regards to the Morehead Steam Traps, the two old Steam Traps
here were in USe 12 years and did the work until we put up too many
~"' houses and then we had to get two No. 5, and these are large enough now
for the entire place, which is 75,000 feet of glass. They give us no trouble
here at all; pump all the water very easy and require no attention what-
ever. Work on all kinds of steam pressures, high or low. We have our
boilers on floor level and have what you may call the Double Trap
System. They deliver the water hot and quickly. Also feed the boil-
ers with the city water when we need water by just letting it simmer in
the receiver. We only turn oflP city water when we shut down steam for
the day, so we can always hold the water line in our boilers steady by just
letting the cold water valve so and the city water mixes with the con-
densed water and never helps to run the steam down on the boilers. We
consider the Traps far ahead of the pump, as the pump is too slow

and requires packing and also oil. Traps for US every time and

Morehead at that. The old Traps would have lasted a life-time, as
they did not show any wear in the 12 years they were in use here."

Insure Perfect Results.

Having promised you a letter as soon as we had passed through a good fair test, I consider
it now as almost timely. We had the thermometer 18 degrees below and we've just gone
through a blizzard bad enough for almost any season, and am very well pleased to inform you
that our heating system was equal to the occasion-. So far as we have gone, am certainly well
satisfied with the Kroeschell Boiler, Generator and Heating System.

Support Yonr Carnation Plants Properly and They Will Support You

Now 18 the time to pnt In some of our Oarnation Supports, to show yon how much more practical, economical and Berrlceable they are above
other makes. Note our reasonB.

They are easily put ud and just as easily taken down; no tangled mess of wire to store away.

They pay for themselves quickly by the additional and superior blooms Rained with the proper support of yonr plants.

Our No. 1 needs no overhead wires or stringrs except one thin wire, which locks on the clamp In the sapport, holding it aprlght and In place.

Our No. 2 Support acta as a stool for your plants, allows no sagging. With this support you use overhead wires or strings to keep blooms
growing erect. It opens on both sides so all side shoots can be put in easily at all times. Note the low prices.

The woven jacket constructwn makes'a stronger
hose than can be obtained from cotton duck, and
absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening
at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on
cotton duck. This constmction also gives a more
flexible hose and reduces the possibility of kinking. I

of 900 pounds per square inch, although its bursting

Mratlon Tbe Review when Toa writ*.

CINCINNATI,

The Market.

Flowers are more plentiful than a
week ago. Asters and gladioli are
coming good and selling well. Boses are
improving and selling well. There is
not an overstock of any cut flowers.

Various Notes.

E. G. Gillett left August 3 for a few
weeks in Michigan.

August Sunderbruch, Cincinnati's old-
est and most respected florist, peace-
fully passed away Tuesday, August 2,
at 6 p. m. He was born May 26, 1830,
at Marl Hanover, Germany. At the
age of 15 years he started in his ap-
prenticeship in the florists' and nursery
business. In 1849 he arrived in New
York and came directly to Cincinnati.
He married Miss Dorothy Klanke.
There were ten children, of whom three
still survive, William, Albert, and Mrs.
Louis Helwig. He was also a professor
of botany at the Wesleyan Female Col-
lege for a number of years.

Mr. and Mrs. Louis Murphy are re-
joicing over the arrival of a son.
' The meeting of the Florists' Society
August 7 was well attended and busi-
ness of importance was attended to in
regard to the florists' meeting at Balti-
more and the coming fall show. Cin-
cinnati will send a bowling team to
compete with the other florists' teams
of the country. G. M.

GRASS SEED FOE KENTUCKY.

Can you inform me what would be
the best kind of grass seed to sow on
a lawn in Kentucky, in order to have
grass which would stand dry weather?
When would be the best time to sow?
The location is about 100 miles west
of Louisville. G. F.

You could Lave no better grass seed
for your lawn than Kentucky blue grass
or .Turie grass, Poa pratensis. Mix a
little red top, Agrostis alba vulgaris,
with it. Do not purchase any of the
fancy mixtures offered in the seed cata-
logues. These are all right in the more
northerly states, where it is cooler and
moistcr. In your state long droughts
would soon kill out most of the grasses.
Sow the seed from the middle to the
end of September. The better the
ground is prepared, the more satisfac-
torily will the grass stand summer
droughts. C. W.

DETROIT.

Club Meeting.

At the last meeting of the Detroit
Florists' Club the following officers
were elected:

President — G. Browne, reelected.

Vice-President — J. F. Sullivan.

Secretary — H. Schroeter, reelected.

Treasurer ^Robert Eahaley, re-
elected.

Librarian — E. A. Scribner.

The annual outing will take place at
Bois Blanc August 29.

Various Notes.

Robert Bahaley, manager of the
Michigan Cut Flower Exchange, left
August 6 to join Mrs. Eahaley at
Mackinac Island and spend a week on
the lakes.

B. Schroeter is having good results
with his sale on Boston ferns.

Mrs. J. F. Sullivan, who has been ill
a long time, was able to take a walk
up the grounds August 6 and it is
hoped that from now on her recovery
will be rapid. H. S.

FORT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

The prices of cut flowers are about
as low as they can fall here at present,
though the quality is all that could be
asked for. The weather has been favor-
able, with plenty of rain, and the crops
in general, both flowers and vegetables,
have done well. Fruit, also, is plenti-
ful.

Various Notes.

Christian Young, the vegetable and
plant grower, recently completed a new
market house, entirely of concrete con-
struction. His trade in the spring and
early summer was so brisk that his own
stock was completely exhausted and he
was obliged to have large quantities of
various sorts of plants shipped in from
other towns. He is now busy prepar-
' ing his houses for his winter crops.

PAXTON, ILL.

Addems, Morgan & Co. expect to be
ready for business with their new
greenhouses by September 1, and will
have one of the finest establishments
in this part of the state. When com-
pleted there will be four houses, each
238 feet long, comprising about 30,000
square feet of glass, together with a
boiler house and workroom, 22x100.
Two sixty horse-power boilers will heat
the range and the new residence of Chaa.
Addems, which adjoins. With Mr. Ad-
dems will reside his father, Joseph, and

^ The quality of a flower pot depends, first of all, on the clay. ^\

And there is all the difference in the world in clays. The

IONIA CLAY

gives a porous pot — the best growing pot on the market.
It gives a strong pot — the strongest made. It gives a light
pot — the lightest made, which makes a saving in freight and
in handling. The saving in freight is a very important
item on a large order.

IONIA POTS

are sorted carefully, twice, after leaving the kilns and before
packing. Never anything but perfect pots in Ionia cases.

Ionia pots are so strong and are so carefully packed (in hardwood crates with
plenty of straw) that we practically never have a claim for breakage. In the

past six yeais we have filed with the two railroads on which we ship only one claim for
breakage, and that for an amount less than $3.00. It is a record without a

parallel.

Actual use will convince any grower that the breakage of Ionia
pots in greenhouse use is much less than the breakage with any
other kind,

Ionia pots have what is commonly known as a round bottom,
thereby assisting tlie drainage and permitting the plant to dump
more easily without breaking the ball of soil.

TWENTY-SEVEiSITH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE
V : SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE HELD AT CHICAGO.

• . OFFICERS FOR 1912:

President, RICHARD VINCENT, JR., White Marih, Md.

... Vice-president, AUGUST POEHLMANN, Chicago, IIL

Secretary, JOHN YOUNG, Bedford Hill.., N. Y.
■■■ "■ Treasurer, WM. F. KASTING, Buffalo, N. Y.

For tho twenty-seventh time the
'florists of America have gathered in
annual convention, on this occasion on
the shore of the Chesapeake, at Balti-
more, midway between the north and
the south, city of wealth, tradition and
far-famed hospitality. Except for the
expedition to "tickle the angels'
feet." and the meeting at the national
capital, it is farther south than the
society ever has been before. There is
a prejudice against going south in Au-
gust, but it ought to be overcome, for,
though many mansions in Baltimore
have the shutters up, the weather is
not so warm as most of the visitors to
the convention city have experienced in
their home towns within the recent
past, though the humidity may be
greater. There is no kick on Balti-
more weather — it is not nearly so warm
as the greeting of her citizens.

The attendance y)roke no records; in
fact, it is .just a little disappointing
to the Baltimore florists, who say they
had counted on more and hoped for
twice as many. .Tust how it compares
with other years is difficult to estimate.
The pioneers used to gather and make
a week of it together, but as the trade
. has broadened this has changed. Hun-
. dreds come from short distances; many
go home the same night. Perhaps thev
come twice, for the opening day and
again to en.ioy the hospitalities of Fri-
da.v. At any rate, the crowd never is
all together at one time. The Atlantic
seaboard, from Boston to the extreme
south, was heavily represented this
year, but the western men were not
much in evidence; there were fully as
maoy if not more at Boston in March,
which perhaps accounts for the light at-
tendance from west of Pittsburg this
week.

The S. A. P\ never had so fine a place
to meet as the Fifth Regiment armory
in Baltimore. Not only is there an
ideal floor for the trade exhibits, but
the meeting hall, committee rooms and
all the facilities are under one roof.
No need to go outside the building ex-
cept to sleep. The arrangements left
absolutely nothing to be desired. Those

Baltimore florists certainly have prof-
ited by the lessons of the past, for if
they made a single misstep it passed
unnoticed in the general approval of
their accomplishment.

The convention jirogram also was
shaped up by men who knew what the
members approve, for the evening ses-
sions were cut out and the number of
learned essayists held down to a point
where time would become available for

the real work of the society. Thus the
interest was^ increased.

The Opening FormalitleB.

One of the most popular men in the
trade in Baltimore is "Old Bob"
(iraham, president of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club, to whom fell the
duty of calling the convention to order,
which he did promptly at the appointed
hour of 2 p. m., Tuesday, August lo —
those Baltimoreans are nothing if not
prompt. The business sessions were
held in one of the larger company
rooms in the armory, on the same floor
as the trades' displa.y, whore there wore
seats for all in spite of the fact that
several of the visitors said they never
before had seen so large an attendance
at the beginning of an H. A. F. con-
vention.

Mr. (jraham said that the governor
of Maryland, who had accepted an in-
vitation to be- present, had been un-
expectedly called away and introduced
as the governor's representative N. W.
Williams, secretary of state for .the
state of Maryland. The Honorable Mr.
Williams, who probably is fully as good
a talker as the governor, else he would
not be sent as a substitute, told of the
elevating influence flowers have on
those who buy them; of how they ap-
peal to man's finer instincts. He said
that the men who grow flowers reflect
the character of their product and
hence attract those with whom they
come in contact — that was why he took
honest pleasure in welcoming this con-
vention to Maryland.

Mr. Graham introduced Mayor James
H. Preston to follow Mr. Williams. He
is a booster — you could tell that just by
looking at him, before he said a word —

and how he did boost Baltimore! But
everyone there knew he meant it when
he said he was glad to see so many vis-
itors (he didn't oflfer the keys to the
city) and everyone was prepared to
agree with him that his is a grand lit-
tle old town, none finer. No! Sir! None!
President Graham asked Eobert
Craig, of Philadelphia, to respond to
the welcomes given, which that gentle-
man did in his usual graceful style,
paying a word of tribute to the Feasts,
Hallidays and Cooks, who have given
Baltimore a standing in floriculture on
a par with its reputation for hospi-
tality. The convention was then fairly
launched and the rudder was turned
over to George Asmus, twenty-fifth
president of the S. A. F. He received
an ovation.

The Eoutine Work.

The rest of the afternoon was given
to dispatching the routine work. Presi-
dent Asmus read a carefully prepared
address, printed elsewhere in this is-
sue, in whifeh he offered many recom
m^ndations born of his years of ex-
perience in the affairs of the society.
The venerable ex-President William R.
Smith, of Washington, came in while
Mr. Asmus was reading and was es-
corted to the platform amid cheers. Mr.
Asmus asked that discussion of his ad-
dress be postponed until a later ses-
sion.

Secretary H. B. Dorner read a report
of the year's work in his office and
Treasurer W. F. Kasting presented a
summary of the financial transactions,
from both of which reports it was seen
that the society has prospered as never
before. The membership exceeds 1,100,
fifty-seven new annual members and
two new life members having been
gained on the morning of that day. The
balance in the treasurer's hands, in-
cluding investments, was, August 10,
$17,363.68. The addition to the balance
in the year, the profit, so to speak, was
$3,410.19. Mr. Kasting predicted an
even better showing in the next annual

report.

The state vice-presidents' reports
were presented and referred to a com-
mittee without reading:

William F. Gude, Washington repre-
sentative of the society, presented a
report on his efforts before the post-
office committee of Congress in behalf
of the parcels post, a project which has
three times been endorsed by the so-
ciety in convention. Mr. Lenker, P.
Welch and W. F. Kasting each had a
word or two to say on the necessity
for a parcels post and, on motion of
Mr. Kasting, Mr. Gude was given a vote
of thanks and implied instructions to
keep at it.

President's Beception.

The president's reception was the
feature for the evening of the open-
ing day. It was held in the ball room
of the splendid Hotel Belvedere, where
the accommodations for such an affair
left nothing to be desired. In tl»e re-
ceiving line were President and Mrs.
Asmus, Vice-president and Mrs. Vin-
cent, B. L. Graham, president of the
local club, and Mrs. Graham, ex-Presi-
dent and Mrs. Traendly, ex-Presidents
W. R. Smith, W. J. Stewart and sev-
eral others. Several hundred hands
were shaken, after which refreshments
were served in adjoining parlors, fol-
lowed by dancing, but the excellently
planned and most pleasant affair was

brought to an early close, for during
the evening news came of the sudden
death of John Birnie, one of the old-
est and most respected members, there
in the hotel, where his widow was left
in her grief. As the word Was passed
it brought sadness to every Ireart.

Death Invades the Society.

The session of Wednesday morning
was postponed as a mark of respect
to John Birnie, whose death occurred
after adjournment the day before. The
officers of the S. A. F. and of the spe-
cial societies, together with prominent
members, joined with the members of
the New York Florists' Club present
in Baltimore and, to the number of

August Poehlmann.

(Vlco-ppp8l(li'nt-<'l«'ct Swiety of American Florists.)

eighty-five, escorted the body of Mr.
Birnie to the station, where the casket
was opened and each florist dropped
a rose upon his breast. It was the most
impressive incident in the history of
the Society of American Florists.

Beciprocity With Canada.

When the convention got down to
business Wednesday, J. G. Esler intro-
duced the subject of reciprocity with
Canada by reading the report of the
committee on tariff and legislation,
printed elsewhere in this issue. He
was followed by Patrick Welch, of Bos-
ton, who made a strong plea for the
removal of the tariff on florists' prod-
ucts and supplies passing between Can-
ada and the United States. Then came
Mr. Robinson, of Montreal, who read a

paper prepared by E. I. Mepsted, of
Ottawa, Canada, who was unable to
be present. Mr. Mepsted refuted one
by one the arguments usually advanced
in opposition to reciprocity, both speak-
ers taking identical ground in favor
of closer trade relations between the
two countries. Benjamin Hammond
commended the three papers, by Messrs.
Esler, Welch and Mepsted, for the
thorough manner in which they had
set forth the advantages of the plan
and the status of the movement, and
F. R. Pierson offered the following
resolution : ' ' That it is the sentiment
of the convention that the best in-
terests of horticulture will be secured
by reciprocity with Canada and that
the tariff and legislative committee be
instructed to use its best efforts to
secure its consummation." Adopted.

Mr. Esler discussed the various meth-
ods of forwarding the work and asked
for an expression of opinion as to
which one should be pursued. J. Otto
Thilow urged using the quickest meth-
od, whichever that is. Mr. Eudd meved
that it be left entirely to the commit-
tee. Adopted.

Mr. Esler then sought an expression
on the matter of joining the nursery-
men in their fight on the proposed
federal quarantine bill and the bill pro-
viding for federal inspection of nursery
stock at the port of entry. F. R. Pier-
son spoke against the inspection bill,
and on his motion the whole matter
was referred back to the committee,
with power.

Spring Meetings.

W. F. Kasting precipitated one of
the warmest discussions in the recent
history of the society when he intro-
duced the subject of changing the
time of meeting to March. He advanced
a few of the reasons why the change
would be advantageous, stating that
the attendance of 694 outside fiorists at
Boston last spring, compared with a
registration of 701, including ladies,
the first two days at Baltimore, proves
that the trade can and will turn out
in March.

W. N. Rudd urged that the great
point is that the combining with the
Rose and Carnation Societies in March
will make possible doing in one trip
what now takes three trips. W. R.
Pierson made the point that the so-
ciety membership was increased more
at Boston than at any August conven-
tion. E. G. Hill said that he hopes to
see all the trade societies join in a
■ great national flower show every
spring. A. Farenwald, president of
the Rose Society, said the trade should
just have one big meeting instead of
three important ones each year, but
that he feared an annual flower show,
like the one at Boston, is out of the
question.

At this point, J. D. Fulmer, of Des
Moines, took the floor, saying that all
the stars of the society seemed to be
in favor of the March meeting, but
that the rank and file is against it,
as was shown by the postal card vote
taken last year. March, he said, is
the time when smaller florists are busy
taking in the coin on which to take
a summer vacation trip to the conven-
tion and have a good time. J. V. Phil-
lips, the Brooklyn retailer, said he does
riot believe many retailers can be at-
tracted regularly in March. These
arguments brought out prompt rebuttal
from Messrs. Kasting, W. E. Pierson,
Hill and Westcott. S. B. Wertheimer

endorsed the spring meeting from the
standpoint of the exhibitor, stating
that the personal comfort of all con-
cerned will outweigh all other con-
siderations and result in a larger at-
tendance than can be had in mid-
summer.

W. N. Eudd moved that the proposal
to amend the by-laws to permit of a
change of date be taken from the table,
where it was placed last year, and that
it be placed on the ballot for the elec-
tion of officers, for the deliberate ac-
tion of the members. Carried.

CUcago Next.

For the first time in history the bal-
loting to, select the next meeting place
resulted in a tie, ninety-seven votes
for Louisville and the same number
for Chicago. A second ballot was taken,
at which each man's right to vote was
authenticated from the membership
books, with the result that Chicago
polled 145 votes to 102 for Louisville.

The tellers were H. A. Bunyard, A.
R. Baumer, C. C. PoUworth and S. A.
Anderson.

The contest not only provoked much
good-natured rivalry, but was the re-
sult of an episode similar to the one
that led to the trip to Asheville. "When
this order of business was reached,
Secretary Dorner read a letter of in-
vitation from the Chicago Florists'
Club and H. A. Fhilpott, president of
the club, made a brief speech urging
that it be accepted. J. C. Vaughan
spoke of the advantages of Chicago as
a convention city, reading a formal in-
vitation from the Association of Com-
merce. Then August E. Baumer pre-

sented lettei;3 of invitation to Louis-
ville from the governor of Kentucky,
the mayor of Louisville and half a doz-
en commercial bodies. He then spoke
for the Kentucky Society of Florists
and introduced one of the Louisville
members, Mr.' Brown, the managing
editor of the Louisville Times and di-
rector of the Louisville Convention and
Publicity League, to talk on Ken-
tucky's attractions. Mr. Brown made
the most entertaining speech the so-
ciety ever has had the pleasure of
listening to. Though the mint julep
took the place of tickling the angels'
feet, the trend of his discourse was
along the line of the talk of the Ashe-
ville gentlemen of vivid memory and it
almost had the. same effect, for he sat
down amid a storm of applause. Chi-
cago friends gave up hope, but cast
their ballots, and were surprised when
they had tied the score. On the sec-
ond ballot Chicago gained more votes
than Louisville did, and won. The
silver-tongued gentleman then moved
to make it unanimous.

A Bid From California.

While the session was in progress
the secretary received a letter from
(.'alifornia containing the applications
of twenty-two new members and the
suggestion that it is not too early to
turn thoughts westward, as 1915 is to
be a great year in California. The let-
ter contained a check for $116, dues
for the new members and two old ones.
It was from Dan MacRorie.

Nomination of Officers.
Nominations for president being in
order, E. L. Graham nominated R. Vin-

cent, Jr., E, C. Reineman seconding.
Robert Craig nominated John K. M. L.
Farquhar, C. H. Totty seconding.

For vice-president, H. B. Howard
nominated H. E. Philpott, president of
the Chicago Florists' Club, after which
W. N. Eudd nominated August Poehl-
mann. E. G. Hill seconded the nomina-
tion of Mr. Philpott and F. H. Traend-
ly that of Mr. Foehlmann.

For secretary, W. J. Stewart nomi-
nated John Young; seconded by W. N.
Eudd and W. F. Sheridan. J. Otto
Thilow nominated David Rust; sec-
onded by William Currie.

For treasurer, Patrick Welch nom-
inated Wm. F. Kasting and there were
many seconds.

President Asmus named Patrick
Welch, W. F. Sheridan and E. L.
Graham as tellers for the election, to
be held next day.

The National Flower Show.

F. E. Pierson presented the report
of the committee on the National
Flower Show, printed in full elsewhere
in this issue. It showed a net profit
for the society of $1,450, and Mr. Pier-
son recommended that this and the $483
profit from the Chicago show be placed
in the permanent fund. Adopted.

W. N. Eudd moved that the work of
all members who managed the Boston
show was highly commendable and that
the thanks of the society were due.
Adopted.

W. A. Manda moved that the com-
plete record of the show be published
in the annual report, to which Mr.
Eudd added the names of all officers
and committees. There were many ex-

the warmest discussions in the recent
history of the society when he iiitro
diiced th(? subject of changing the
time of meeting to ^larch. He advanced
a few of the reasons why the change
would be advantageous, stating that
the attendance of (504 outside florists at
Boston last spring, compared with .a
registration of 701. including ladies,
the first two days at Baltimore, proves
that tli(> trade <'an and will turn out
in March.

W. N. Rudd urged that the great
point is that the combining with the
K'ose an<l f^arnation Societies in March
will make possible doing in one trip
what now takes three trips. W. R.
Pierson made the point that the so-
ciety membership was increased more
at Boston than at any August conven-
tion. K. G. Hill said that he hopes to
see all the tra>le societies join in a
great national (lower show every
s|)ring. A. Farenwald, president of
the Rose Socioty. said the trade should
just have one big meeting instead of
three important ones each year, but
that he feared an .•mnual flower show,
like the one .at Boston, is out of the
question.

At this point, .1. D. Fulmer, of Des
Moines, took the floor, saying that all
the stars of the society seemed to be
in favor of the March meeting, but
that the rank and file is against it,
as was shown by the postal card vote
taken last year. March, he said, is
the time when smaller florists are busy
taking in the coin on which to take
a summer vacation trip to the conven
tion and have a good time. J. V. Phil
lips, the Brooklyn retailer, said he does
not believe many rt^tailers can be at-
tracteil regularly in March. These
arguments brought out prompt rebuttal
from Messrs. Kasting. W. R. Pierson.

ciulorscd the sprii)<; iiicctiiijr from the
staiiilpoint of the exhilntor, stating
tli;it the personal comfort of all oon-
i-erne<l " will outweitih all other con-
siderations and result in a larj^er at-
tendance than can 1)C had in mid-
siunnier.

W. N. Rudd moved that the proposal
to amend the l>_v-Ia\vs to permit of a
chanj^e of date be taken from the talile,
where it was placed last year, and that
it be placed on the ballot for the elec-
tion of officers, for the deliiterate ac-
tion of the members. Carried.

Chicago Next.

For the first time in history the lial
loting to select the next meotini; place
resulted in a tie. ninety-seven votes
for Louisville and the same number
for Chicajjo. A second ballot was taken,
at which each man's right to vote was
authenticated from the membership
books, with the result that <'hicago
polled 145 votes to 1012 for Louisville.

The tellers were H. A. lUmyard, A.
K. Laumer, C. C. Pollwurth and S. A.
Anderson. -

The contest not enly provokeil much
good-natured rivalry, Imt was the re-
sult of an episode similar to the one
that led to the trip to .\shevillc. When
this order of business was reached,
•Secretary Dorner read a letter of in-
vitation from the Chicago Florists'
<"lub and II. A. I'hiljiott, presi<lent of
the club, made a brief speech urging
that it be accefited. J. C. Vaughan
spoke of the advantages of Chicago as
a convention city, reading a formal in-
vitation from the Association of Com-
merce. Then August K. I^aumer pre-

sented letters of invitation to Louis-
ville from the governor of Kentucky,
the mayor of Louisville and half a doz-
en commercial bodies. He then spoke
for the Kentucky Society of Florists
and introduced one of the Louisville
members, Mr. Brown, the managing
editor of the Louisville Times and di-
rector of the Louisville Convention and
I'ubli^ity League, to talk on Ken-
tucky's attractions. Mr. IJrown made
the most entertaining sjH'ech the so-
ciety ever has had the pleasure of
listening to. Though the mint julep
took the place of tickling the angels'
ft!et, the trend of his discourse was
along the line of the talk of the Ashe-
\ ille gentlemen of vivid memory and it
almost had the same effect, for lie s:it
down amid a storm of applause, (hi
cago friends gave up hojie. but cast
their ballots, and were suriirise<l when
the\- liad tied the score. ()ii the sec-
ond balbd ('hicago gained more \otes
than Louisxillf did. and won. The
sil\ ertongued gi'ntl(>man tlieii moved
to make it unanimous.

A Bid From California.
While the session was in progress
the secretary' r(M'ei\ed a letter from
('alifornia containing the ajiplications
of twenty two new meiribcrs and tiie
suggestion tliat it is not too early to
turn thoughts westward, as 191." is to

ter contained a che(dv for .*11(), ilues

Bose, Carnation, Sweet Pea Societies.

An informal joint meeting of the
American Rose Society, American Car-
nation Society and National Sweet Pea
Society was held at Baltimore, August
17. There were present President
Farenwald and Secretary Hammond of
the American Rose Society, Secretary
Baur and Director Pierson of the
American Carnation Society, and Presi-
dent Sim and Secretary Bunyard of the
National Sweet Pea Society; also a
large and representative number of the
members, many of whom belong to all
three organizations. The object of the
meeting was to find some way of get-
ting together in one large exhibition

at Detroit early next year. F. R. Pier-
son presided and his efforts to secure
free and full discussion brought out
no difference of opinion on the desira-
bility of a joining of forces. The only
trouble lay in selecting a date satis-
factory to the different interests. The
representatives of the Carnation So-
ciety reported themselves bound to a
January date by the action of a meet-
ing at Boston and refused to vote on
a resolution that it was the sense of
the meeting that a date in March
should be chosen. Finding there was
no way around this obstacle, the rose
men supported a resolution in favor of
January 10 as the ilate for convening
at Detroit, though the rose men sai«l
they did this only as a means of get-
ting two societies together and not at
all with the idea that it was the best
date for themselves or the Sweet Pea
Society. In fact, this left the young
and rapidly growing Sweet Pea So-
ciety out in the cold, as its representa-
tives stated they could see no possi-
bility of making a creditable showing
in January. ?]veryone regretted the in-
ability to select a date that would be
available to all, and Benjamin Ham-
mond gave the Sweet Pea Society $100
to use as it sees fit. The officers stated
that they think the society will hold a
separate show of its own in the spring.
Later in the day the Rose Society
and the Carnation Society held sepa-
rate and joint meetings to ratify the
action of the informal meeting and
work out some of the details for the
Detroit meeting.

American Gladiolus Socif|ty.

The American Gladiolus Society held
an exhibition apart from the showing

of gladioli in the trades' display., It
V was the largest and best show the so-
ciety has yet had, in spite of the mis-
fortune to flowers which caused one of
the largest exhibitors to cancel all' his
entries. The show was particularly
strong in new varieties of exoei)tiOnal
merit. The white seedling with which
Thomann & Sons, Rochester, took sev-
eral prizes was thought by manv to be
the best in its color in sight today.

The first certificate ever granted by
the society was given to L. Merton
(iage for the pink variety, Mrs. Frank
Pen<lleton, Jr. E. A. Kunderd showed
a splendid new orange pink variety
and a magnificent lot of the ruffled va-
riety, Kunderdi tJlory. In the amateur
classes Albert Lahondy, gardener to
T. A. llavenieyer, won all the premiums,
showing magnificent blooms.

The awards in the open classes were:

At a largely attended business ses-
sion, August 16, President Hendrick-
son read a carefully prepared address,
in which he outlined the needvrof the
society. The paper was referred to a
committee consisting of J. C. Vaughan,
M. Crawford and Arthur Cowee, for
consideration and report. The secre-
tary's report showed steadily increas-
ing membership and the treasurer re-
ported receipts for the year of 1911,
disbursements of $545, and balance of
$2:^0, with $345 still on the books.

The bulletin committee reported, and
President Hendrickson was specially
thanked for his work. All delinquent
members were ordered drof>ped.

Arthur Cowee Irought up the mat-
ter of a scale for size of bulb for mix-
tures and it was voted that first size
should consist of bulbs one and one-
half inches and up, with second size
consisting of bulbs one and one-quarter
inches and up. There was discussion
of the need of an official color chart
and description, but no action was
taken.

The committee on presidenVs ad-
<lress reported concurrence in the rec-
ommendation that a board of registra-
tion he created to examine new va-
rieties offered for that purpose, and
nominated I. S. Hendrickson, Arthur
Cowee and Carl Cropp; also that the
society prepare a medal to be given
to other societies as awards for ex-
hibits of gladioli. The report was
adopted.

It was voted later to prepare an offi-
cial color chart.

Professor Fitzpatrick, of Cornell, de-
livered an address on the work done
on disease of the gladiolus, illustrated
by a large number of specimens, charts
and photos.

The election;^ of officers resulted as
follows: President, Isaac S. Hendrick-
son; vice-president, E. H. Cushman;
corresponding secretary, L. Merton
Gage; financial secretary, H. Youell;
treasurer, William Sperling; executive
committee, Arthur Cowee, Arthur T.
Poddington and E. W. Fengar; nomen-
clature committee, Arthur Cowee and

age of 219,231 square feet of single-thick
glass and 144,395 square feet of doiibie-
thick glass, have been paid during the
year. Since organization 1,650 losses
have been adjusted, involving a total ex-

Vincent. The response was by Mrs. B.
Hammond Tracy, of Wenham, Mass.

The report of the secretary showed
a membership of 273. The treasurer's
report showed receipts of $629.72, dis-
Inirsements of $341.01; balance, $288.71.

The election of officers resulted as
follows: President, Mrs. E. V. Boone,
Baltimore; first vice-president, Mrs. R.
Wittman, West Hoboken, N. J.; sec-
ond vice-president. Miss Perle Fulmer,
Bes Moines, Iowa; treasurer, Mrs. Al-
bert M. Herr, Lancaster, Pa.; secre-
tary, Mrs. Charles H. Maynard, Betroit,
Mich.

The evening of Thursday was placed
in the hands of the ladies' society for
a reception and dance at the Hotel
Belvedere, a duplicate of the brilliant
affair given last year at Rochester. The
ladies' organization has added im-
mensely to the social side of the con-
ventions.

Election of Officers.

When the society convened Thurs-
day morning the polls were opened for
the el^tio^ of officers. The interest
was so keen that it was found impossi-
ble to go ahead with the other work
and the program for the day was put
over until evening. No such election
was ever known in the history of the
society. With two candidates for
each of the three offices, the heaviest
vote ever known was polled. Keen as
was the rivalry between the friends
of the candidates, nothing but the best
of fellowship prevailed.

The election results were:

Total votes cast. 385.

For president, Richard Vincent, Jr 215

J. K. M. L. Farquhar 170

CONVENTION NOTES.

At the Baltimore & Ohio station on a
big terrace in the lawn the gardener
has in 6-foot letters " S. A. F. & O. H.
— 1911. " It is said a visitor asked
the station master for a translation
and was told that it stood for "See
America First — and — Oh! H — 1! I
d'know what the rest of it means."

The armory is just a little out of
the restaurant section, so the Balti-
more Gardeners' Club served a free
luncheon every day in one of the com-
pany rooms upstairs. In fact, they
took it as a breach of courtesy for one
to go elsewhere for refreshment.

Before the convention had fairly
opened J. G. Neidinger, of Philadelphia,
took out his purse, laid it down a mo-
ment, and when he reached for it, it
was gone, witt the $60 it contained.
The surprise was that it occurred in the
armory.

Cteneva, O. — R. A. Parker and W. W.
Stocking have purchased the interests
of R. D. Woodworth in the firm of
Woodworth & Parker. The sale in-
cludes the Woodworth home and farm
of fifteen acres. The new firm expects
to increase the business and add to the
number of greenhouses. Mr. \vood-
worth has not decided on his plans for
the future.

the trades' display.

:■•■••■. -■'•7-'^'a ■ '■ "'^ '?/■'■:'-:'-■

Eclipses All Becords.

The trades' display, to the average
visitor, always has been the great
drawing card of the S. A. F. conven-
tion and this year it is even larger
and better than ever. In the twenty-
six preceding annual gatherings of the
craft the exhibition has been staged in
all sorts of buildings, some well
adapted to the purpose, some never in-
tended for such a use, but it has re-
mained for Baltimore to place at the
disposal of the society, for the first
time, a structure that leaves nothing
to be desired, the great Fifth Regi-
ment armory. Here on one great floor,
designed for the drilling of a thou-
sand men, there is space for all. No
one had to go to a balcony, or a base-
ment; none is out of sight; there is
not an undesirable spot in the room,
and if one place is better than another
it is merely a matter of persdnal pref-
erence; the only thing for which there
is no room is criticism. But with its
acres of floor space, the building is
filled. The exhibitors have taken every-
thing but the aisles.

Philadelphia makes a big part of the
show, as usual. There have been con-
ventions at which there was a greater
number of exhibitors, but there never
has been a convention for which so
much space was sold. The answer is

that most of the exhibitors are using
more space than they ever before have
used — they are making larger and more
attractively arranged displays. Sev-
eral 'firms are each using close to 1,000
square feet and practically every oie
has given much care to the stagin^g.
There never was a trades' display that
made anywhere nearly so good a general
effect; but for a large part of this
credit must be given to that wise rule
that did away with the great, gaudy
banners with which exhibitors were
wont to "decorate" their stands and
all available space in the building.
Taking a leaf from the National Flow-
er Show, all the signs are small, nflat
and uniform. They are cards cut and
painted to represent the shell of that
typical Baltimore product, the oyster,
and the gilt lettering is limited to
the exhibitor's name and address. '■

The exhibition presents little that is
strikingly new. The supply houses, ; it
is true, have many novelties, and thefre
are some good new plants, but for the
most part the show consists of the best
examples of the things the trade is bi|y-
ing day after day, using or passing on ;to
the public. One commendable feature
was that the exhibition was practically
complete the day before the conven-
tion opened. The exhibitors were on
hand early; most of the exhibits ar-
rived in time and were quickly in
place, fpr that most capable superin-
tendent. Mack Richmond, has seen to

it that everything wanted was at hand.
If ever a superintendent has merited
the testimonial received at the hands
of the exhibitors, and many certainly
have, he has done so.

Florists' Supplies.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia,
outdid 9X\ their previous efforts, occu-
pying 900 square feet of space, ad-
mirably located straight across one end
of the great hall, and bringing so
large a line of 8aii)]»lo8 that every inch
of table and wall was occupied. They
had, of course, a general line of sup-
plies embracing many hundreds of arti-
cles, but the conspicuous places were
occupied by novelties, chief among
which were the electric flower lamp,
with pan for cut flowers or plants; the
mirror basket, a half basket set
against the glass; ornamental grasses,
Minerva, two-tone Minerva and plain;
Parisian wreaths, of statice and ammobi-
ums; crepe flowers of infinite variety,
wreaths of prepared natural foliage,
bright red beech sprays, thistles in
many colors, wheat sheaves with
pans deep enough for long-stemmed
Beauties, etc. The exhibit was in
charge of Sydney Bayersdorfer, Mar-
tin Reukauf and four assistants.

The display of M. Rice & Co., of
Philadelphia, was a distinct innova-
tion. Instead of staging a large line
of staple supplies,, an enclosure was
attractively fitted up for reception pur-
poses, and only a few choice novelties
shown. Newel posts trimmed with
rushes formed the corners, the en-
closure being completed by wedding
ropes. The featured novelty was a
new natural «yca8 leaf prepared with-
out paint or varnish so that it can

scarcely be distinguished from the un-
treated article, while it still has great
lasting qualities. The American rights
are eomtrolled. Several out-of-the-ordi-
nary baskets were shown. The Diana
wreath is of natural prepared grasses,
some tipped red and some lavender.
The Atlas wreath is shaded magnolia
leaves, shaded cycas leaves, and rus-
cus, tipped with poppies, cones and
thistles. Christmas novelties included
. a red wreath of cape flowers trimmed
with natural cones. Especially pretty
was fern moss in green and red. This-
tles were shown in red and lavender.
B. Eschner was in charge, assisted by
Robert Schoch.

J. G. Neidinger, of Philadelphia,
brought a much larger line than ever
before. His specialty, wax designs
and flowers, was represented by hun-
dreds of numbers, but the place of
honor in the exhibit was given to a
line of new ivory finish baskets of
Mr. Neidinger 's own origination and
manufacture; fifty shapes were shown,
the likeness to ivory being exact in
all. The basket sedtion »l80 included
a striking line in blue with antique
finish. Natural prepared foliage was
shown in variety. Velvet poinsettias
and prepared asparagus, combined in
the ivory baskets, were striking. Pot-
covers, vases, chenille, ribbon, chiffon
and many other articles were in the
display. Mr. Neidinger personally was
in charge, with several assistants.

Reed & Keller, New York, showed
a large assortment of florists' supplies,
including the usual line of casket wire
designs, special pieces and a new fold-
ing wire plant stand. A novelty was
the tall Quadro Beauty vase. A new
prepared imported oak leaf was shown.

A wire model of the Olympic, the larg-
est steamship afloat, was made to
scale. But the strongest feature of
the display was the Paris wreaths.
They are made of red ruscus, statice
or colored capes in many styles and a
variety of decorations, the ruscus
wreath being particularly good; it was
said the large one shown was the first
thus far imported. R. E. Hall and
George Maunz were in charge.

The Cleveland Florists' Exchange,
Cleveland, O., put up an attractive
arbor of wild smilax to show the deco-
rative possibilities of artificial flowers.
George W. Smith, who did the work
personally, is an old retailer and
knows how. The line included life-
like reproductions of practically every
flower of the greenhouse, garden and
woods. Specially good were the arti-
ficial Beauties and hibiscus. The booth
was carpeted with Beaven's fadeless
moss and plant tubs were one of the
specialties shown.

S. A. Weller, Zanesville, O., showed a
fine line of vases, jardinieres, ferneries,
window boxes and other pottery suita-
ble for retailing in a flower store. The
mission ware, doubtless a development
of the Indian ware, was a new feature,
as was the antique ivory pottery hang-
ing basket. This is a line of ware
many florists who never attend a con-
vention would handle if they knew
about it.

S. A. Anderson, Buffalo, was on hand
with his velvet poinsettia and fine sam-
ples of his new, recently registered
begonia, Bettie Anderson, in 5-inch
pots.

The Non-Breakable Flower Vase Co.,
Washington, D. C, staged its line of
enameled metal cut flower receptacles,

Eclipses All Records.

The tr.ades' display, to the average
visitor, always has been the great
drawing card of the S. A. F. conven-
tion and this year it is even larger
and better than ever. In the twenty
six preceding annual gatherings of the
craft the exhibition has been staged in
all sorts of buildings, some well
adajited to the purpose, some never in
tended for such a use, but it has re-
mained for Baltimore to place at the
disposal of the society, for the first
time, a structure that leaves nothing
to be d(>sired, the great Fifth b'egi-
nieiit armory. Hero on one great tloor,
designed for th(> drilling of a thou-
sand men, there is space for all. No
one had to go to a lialeony, or a base-
ment; none is out of sight; there is
not an undesirable spot in the room,
and if one place is better than another
it is merely a matter of iiersonal ])ref-
erence; the only thing for which there
is no room is criticism. Hut with its
acres of floor space, the building is
filled. The exhibitors ha\e taken every
thing but the aisles.

Philadelphia makes a big part of the
show, as usual. There have been con
\entions at whicdi there was a greater
number of exhibitors, but there never
has been a convention for which so
inindi space was sold. The answer is

that most of the exhibitors are using
more s]iace than they ever before have
used — they are making larger and more
attractively arranged displays. Sev-
(»ral firms are each using close to l.OOtl
s(piare feet and jiractically every one
has given much care to the staging.
Th(>re never was a trtides' display thai
made anywhere nearly so good a general
(dfect; but for a large part of this
credit must be given to that wise rule
that did away with the great, gaudy
li.inners with which exhibitors were
wont to "decorate" their stands and
all available space in the building.
Taking a leaf from the National Flow
er Show, all the signs are small, neal
and uniform. They arc cards cut and
jiainted to represent the shell of that
ty]iical Baltimore product, the oyster,
and the gilt lettering is limited to
the exhibitor's name and address.

The exhibition presents little that is
stril\ingly new. The supply houses, it
is true, have many novelties, and there
are some good new ])lants, but for the
most ]>art the show consists of the best
examples of the things the trade is buy-
ing day after day, using or passing on to
th(; imblic. One commendable feature
was that the exhibition was practically
(•omplete the day before the conven
tioii opeiK'd. Th(^ exhibitors were on
hand early; most of the exhibits ar
ri\-ec| ill time ami were quickly in
]dace. for tli.at most capalde sn]ierin

riorists' Supplies.

II. Bayersdorfer >S. Co., Philadelphia,
outdid all their previous efforts, occu-
pyinjj 900 square feet of space, ad-
mirably located straitjht across one end
of the great li:ill. and bringing so
large a line of sainpics that every inch
of table ami wail was occupied. They
ha<l, of course, a general line of sup-
plies embracing many hundreds of arti-
cles, but the conspicuous places were
occupied by novelties, chief among
whicli were the electric (lower lamp,
with pan for cut flowers or i)lants; the
mirror basUet. n half basket set
against the glass; ornamental grasses,
Minerva, two-tone Minerva and plain;
Parisian wrealtis. of statice .•ind ammobi-
ums; crepe flowers of infinite variety,
wreaths of prepared n.'itural foliage,
liright red beech sprays, thistles in
many eolors. wlieaf sheaves with
pans deej) enouL'h for long-stemmed
1 lenities, etc. 'I'lie exliibit was in
iharge of Sydney Hayersdorter. Mar-
tin b'euUauf anil four assistants.

The display of ^f. Uice ^: Co.. of
Pliiladelphia. was a distinct innova-
tion. Instead of staging .-i large line
ot' sta|dt> su]i|ilies. an enclosure was
.attractively iitted up for rece|ition ]uir-
l>f)ses, and onlv a lew choice novelties
shown. \ew(d po-^t-. trimnH»d with
rushes fornu'il I lie lorners. the en-
closure being completed by wedding
ropes. The featured novelty was a
new natural t-ycas le.if prepared with-
out- paint or \:irni<li -o that it can

scarcely be distinguished from the un-
treated article, While it still has great
lasting qualities. The .\merican rights
are controlled. Several out-of-the-ordi-
nary baskets were shown. The Diana
wreath is of tiatural prepared grasses,
some tipped red and some lavender.
The Atlas wreath is shaded magiu)lia
leaves, shaded cycas leaves, and rus
cus, tipped with pojipies, cones and
thistles. Christmas no\elties imduded
a red wreath of cape flowers trimmed
with natural cones. Kspecially pretty
was fern moss in gr(>eii and red. This
ties were shown in reil and lavender.
Ti. Eschner was in (diarge. assisted by
Robert Schoch.

J. C Xeidinger. of Philadelphia,
brought a much larger line than ever
before. His sjiecialty. wax designs
and flowers, was represented by hun-
dreds of numbers, but the jiljice of
honor in the exhibit was given to a
line of ncwv i\'ory finish basi\ets of
Mr. Neidinger's own origination and
manufacture; fifty shajies were shown,
the likeness to ivory being exact in
all. The liasket se<-tion .-t-lso included
a striking line in blue with aiiti<pie
finish. \;itural jirepared toliage was
shown in \ariety. X'ehcl ]ioinsi>1t ias
and iii-e|iared ;is|);ir:igiis. couil'ined in
the i\()ry baskets, were striking. Pot
covers, \;iS(S. clii'uille, lihlion. cliitV(iii
and tnany other article's were in the
disi>lay. Mr. Xeidinger person.ally wa-;
in (diarge, with several assist:! iits.

K'eed (!i: K(>ller, New ^'^l•k, showed
a large .assortment of florists' supplies,
including the usual liiu> of cnsket w iri'
designs, special pieces and ;i new f<d<l-
ing wire plant stand. .\ iiovtdty was
the tall (^uailro Beauty \ ase. A new
I'lepared imported oak le;if was sliown.

.V wire model of the Olympic, the larg-
est steamship afloat, was made to
scale. But the strongest feature of
the display was the Paris wreaths.
They are m.ade of red iiiscus, statice
or colored capes in many styles and a
\ ariety of decorations, the ruscus
wreath being jiartii-ularly good; it was
said the large one shown was the first
thus far imported. U. K. Hall and
(!(>orge Maunz were in charge.

The Cleveland Florists' Kxidiange,
Cleveland, ()., put tip an attractive
arbor of wild smilax to show the deco-
r.ative possibilities of artificial flowers,
(ieorge W. Smith, who did the work
|personally. is an old retailer and
Iviiows how. The line iniduded life-
like reproiluetions of' practically every
flower of the greenhouse. gar(len and
woods. Specially good were the arti-
flciiil Beauties and hibiscus. The booth
w.as carpeted with Peaven's fadeless
moss .and plant tub< were one of the
specialtit>s shown.

S. .\. W(dler. Zaiies\ ille. O.. showed a
fine line of \;ises. jardinieres, ferneries,
window boxes and other jiottery suita-
ble tor retailing in a tluwer store. The
mission ware, doubtless a d(>velopment
of the Tiiclian ware, was a new feature.

vention would handle if they Icnew

the f«ature of whu>h is that they are
not only practically indestructible, but
ornamental; also window boxes, vases,
etc, H. L. Lauscher was in charge.

Ribbons.

Wertheimer Bros., New York, had
twQ stands for the display of their
line of, 8tai)le and novelty ribbons,
chiflfons antl corsage ties, and large
assortment of corsage [)ins. The 8prin-
klei)roof ribbons and chiffons were
featured, as usual, with many new pat-
terns and colors, and there were sev-
eral new corsage effects. The Werbro
shield is a new flexible, invisible dress
j)rotector. There was a new shower
ribbon for bridal work. S. B. Wert-
heimer arrived August 15^ having
landed the day before from a Euro-
j)eau tour, bringing a number of novel-
ties that are to follow in quantity.

The Pennock-Meehjin Co., Philadel-
l)hia, staged its usual large line of
ribbons, chiffons, corsage ties, pins and
novelties. The ribbon department
shows the addition of a new shade in
both satiinS and taffetas, that of the Melo-
dy rose. A new moire' taffeta ribbon
shades from dark at the edge to light
at the center in tones to match
autumn foliage. There are several new
shades in corsage ties of their own
origination. A .jewel corsage pin and
clasp is new; it grasps the stems of
the flowers and pins to the dress; an
attractive article. The exhibit was in
charge of K. .1. Fancourt, assisted by
A. W. Swan and .1. E. H. Morichard.

Lion & Co., New York, had an excep-
tionally attractive booth for the display
of their large line of Colonial brand rib-
bons, featuring American-made chiffon,
an article they put on the market a little
over a year ago with one pattern and
which achieved such quick success that
they now have eight patterns. A novelty
was Chiffon de liiberty ribbon, with chif-
fon center edged with double faced satin,
in ten colors and two widths. A new
featherweight, flexible, waterproof cor-
sage shield and a transparent celluloid
shield were shown in addition to last sea-
son's invisible shield, ('orsage bouquet
ties were shown in variety. Oscar Lion
was in charge, with two assistants. The
souvenirs were large, black TIavanas.

Schloss Bros., New York, showed their
usual large line of ribbons, chiffons and
(•orsage effects, to which the new season
has added several novelties. A satin rib-
bon in six colors has 3-leaved and 4-
leaved clovers and <dover blossoms woven
in, and the same effects wore shown with
rose foliage and blooms. A new stem
holder to l)e used in i)lace of foil is
waterproof. A novelty was a line of rib-
lions bearing the inscriptions usually re-
<|uired on funeral designs. Emil Schloss
was in charge, assisted by Julius Dilloff.
The souvenir was a tape measure.

M, Adler, New York, had a large as-
sortment of corsage pins.

Paper Boxes.

W. J. Boas & Co., Philadelphia, showed
their line of square lock cut flower boxes,
including a new gray color corresponding
to the popular "London smoke" color
of the dry goods stores. .las. F. Smith
was in charge.

Lord's Frost-Proof Plant Box Co.,
Minneapolis, the exhibitor farthest from
home, had a large table of patented
folding one-piece corrugated fiber-board
boxes for shipping plants, cut flowers and
designs. L. P. Lord was in charge.

The Edwards Folding Box Co., Phila-

delphia, showed its line of folding cut
flower boxes, to which has been added
several new greens and grays, as well as
a new finish in white. W. P. Snyder was
in charge.

The Janesville Florists' Box Co.,
Janesville, Wis., showed samples of a
patented frost-proof paper box for
plant deliveries. It was stated that
one double box, felt lined, had with-
stood a below zero temperature for
hours. Edward Amerpohl was demon-
strating how easily plants go in and
out of the box.

Cut Flowers. "

Arthur Cowee, Berlin, N. Y., had en-
gaged three tables, each of 100 square
feet, for his display of gladioli and
staged his exhibit, although ho canceled
all his ten entries for the prizes of the
American Gladiolus Society because his
blooms had heated during a twenty-four
iiours ' delay on the road. He had between
5,000 and 6,000 spikes, including about
400 varieties, many being unnamed seed-
lings of promise. Because of heating, the
blooms did not open properly. In the
collection were Peace, pure white with
peacock feather in the throat, and Luna,
cream white with carmine throat, that
Mr. Cowee considers his finest florists'
varieties and which he intends to offer to
the trade this season. Mr. Cowee had

his usual staff of young lady assistants.

•John Lewis Childs, Flowerfield, N. Y.,
staged 115 varieties of gladioli, one or
more vases of each. One large table was
given entirely to the Childsii varieties,
with another for the Gandavensis, Le-
moinei and hybrids. The Childs col-
lection of seedlings has of late run
strongly to yellows and of these Safra-
no, in this color, was never before shown.
I. S. Hendrickson and S. C. Parnell were
in charge.

B. Hammond Tracy, Wenham, Mass.,
assisted by Mrs. Tracy, staged a fine lot
of gladiolus blooms, many of them seed-
lings raised on their place. Dawn, shell
pink, ^vas conspicuous among them.
Mr. Tracy spoke well of Niagara, yellow,
and showed it well.

Wilhelm Pfitzer, Stuttgart, Germany,
showed twelve varieties of. gladioli, a vase
of each, all named sorts and including
some striking things. The feature of the
lot, however, was Europa, pure white.
The flowers were grown for Mr. Pfitzer
by J. B. Hutchinson, of Haddonfield, N.
J., and for himself Mr. Hutchinson
showed vases of ten of the best varieties
now in commerce.

R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., White
Marsh, Md., had a fine display of cut
blooms of garden flowers. Big heads
of hydrangeas were conspicuous. There
were a large number of dahlias of all

"types, thirty varieties of phlox and
as many of cannas. Of course, the
selection of varieties was of the best.

H. W. Koerner, Milwaukee, had a
large display of cut blooms of gladioli.

Jacob Thomann & Sons, Rochester,
N. Y., had a small but notable exhibit
of gladiolus blooms, an unnamed white
seedling of their own raising. It
looked particularly good with a vase of
Europa, the German white that is sold
at $2.50 per bulb.

Oreen Goods.

Jones, the Holly Wreath Man, Milton,
Del., was a new exhibitor. C. G. Jones,
who was in charge, built two arbors of
wild smilax for the display of holly and
laurel wreaths and roping, boxwood, leu-
cothoe, etc. In addition to the natural
greens, air plant, prepared magnolia,
beech, chestnut and oak foliage were
shown, used in a variety of attractive
ways. The "Holly Wreath Man" does
not confine himself to holly, by any
means.

The Shaw Fern Co., Pittsfield, Mass.,
iiad hardy ferns, not cut, as growing in
the woods, attractively arranged. L. E.
Shaw was in charge.

Plants.

The Robert C'raig Co., Philadelphia,
had an even larger display than in other
years. The feature was, of course, the
collection of crotons, which is without an
equal in America. Of named varieties
eighty-five were shown, and of Craig
seedlings, mostly unnamed, there were
sixty-four. Although several sizes of sev-
eral kinds were shown, there were no two
plants alike in the entire eollectioi). The
cyclamens were splendid plant* for thin
time of year and the Cincinnati aod lior-
raine begonias were a prominent fep.-
ture. Anqtber group contained
branched Ficus pandurata that were
exceptional, also Dracaena terminalis
and D. Massangeana that were extra
large pieces. Phoenix * Roebelenii was
well done and some excellent made-up
arecas were shown. The exhibit was
in charge of R. A. Craig, W. P. Craig
and Duncan Macaw.

Henry A. Dreer, Philadelphia, made a
larger display than at any previous con-
vention, 900 square feet of space being
required, three sections of 300 feet each.
One section was entirely palms in sala-
ble sizes, including all the commercial va-
rieties, while another was largely small
stock for growing on. Cocos Weddelli-
ana^in largo sizes were conspicuous and
there were araucarias in thirteen sizes.
Tie cibotiums were said to represent
the stock in eight houses at Riverton.
Variegated pineapple also was a feature.
C!rotons and Phcenix Roebelenii were well
shown. The third section included a full
line of Bermuda, Dutch and French
bulbs, tubs, glazing points, etc., with cut
blooms of a selection of the finer gla-
dioli, asters, phlox and the double fringed
petunia, probably 100 vases in all. A
new line was pot-grown rambler roses for
Easter forcing; samples were shown in
flower. The exhibit was m charge of J.
J. Karins, Joseph (Joudy, J. Ruppert,
Geo. Parsons and several assistants.
The souvenir was a florists' knife.

F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y.,
occupied one entire section with the Bos-
ton fern and its descendants: Piersoni,
Scottii, MagnificH, Superbissima, Har-
risii, Giatrasii, Compacta, Elegantissima
improved, Viridissima and the youngest
child, Muscosa, to make its debut this
season. A feature was two extra large,
perfect plants of Compacta and Elegan-
tissima improved. On another table was
a full line of Harrisii bulbs grown on
St. 'David Island, a large line of hya-
cinths and tulips and, later, a full line
of French bulbs, just arrived. The ex-
hibit was in^liarge of Messrs. Fothering-
ham and Trevillian, as usual.

Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville, O.,
showed a variety of field-grown roses for
forcing, from a stock of field roses said
to cover nearly sixty acres. A quantity
of dish ferns were exhibited, also paljms,
pspidistras. araucarias and Cocos Wed-
delliana to go with the ferns in dishes.
S. R. Welch was in charge.

Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa.,
showed a large line of shrubs, including
althaeas, berberis, deutzias, forsythias, hy-

drangeas, philadelplms, privet, spirteas,
viburnums and weigelias, also honey-
suckle and American Pillar rose. But
when the cut blooms of cannas arrived,
showing the best standard varieties and
the seedlings of Antoine Wintzer that are
well termed "eanna lilies," they be-
came the feature of the exhibit. The
firm has become American agents for
"The Genus Rosa," by Ellen Willmott,
that Robert Pyle thinks will become the
standard work on the subject.

Julius Roehrs (V)., Rutherford, N. J.,
had a large lot of palms in all varieties
and sizes, crotons, ardisias, Phcenix
Roebelenii, Pandanus Veitchii, dracsenas
and bays, all in commercial sizes. The
exhibit was in charge of .T. Muller and
F. Sealey.

J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati, had a table
of Farleyense, Asplenium nidus avis,
Pandanus Veitchii and Begonia Lorraine
and B. Cincinnati, all well grown. R. W.
Peterson was in charge in his father's
absence in Europe.

Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia,
and A. N. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn.,
who are to jointly disseminate the va-
rieties, made a joint display of Double
White Killarney and Killarney Queen,
two new roses that originated at the
Budlong place in Rhode Island and
which have been under observation
for some time. The two were shown in
splendid condition for midsummer. The
stems were of good length, strong, and
the foliage was heavy and clean. The
flower of the white sport is not only
more double than White Killarney, but
it is much larger, and the color is al-
most pure white; the pinkish tinge is
only to be found in the center of a
few blooms and one has to hunt for
it to see it. Killarney Queen is a fine
bright, deep rich pink, several shades
darker than Killarney, and the variety
gives evidence of being a strong
grower.

Joseph Heacock Co., Wyncote, Pa.,
showed its usual line of well grown
palms, reinforced by some fine plants
of Cibotium Schiedei. Both kinds of
kentias were shown, single plants in
all sizes and also made up plants.

any other subject as a blooming pot
plant for the holidays. It is the ideal
Christmas color. Princess Charming is
of the Enchantress color.

Variegated privet was exhibited in
tubs in several sizes.

Fred Lappe, Rossville, Md., showed
about thirty varieties of cannas, finely
flowered, in pots, all seedlings of his own
raising and including some things that
appear to be improvements over the vari-
eties of their color now on the market.
Mr. Lappe has not been long at this work,
but has taken it up with enthusiasm.

J. G. Harrison & Sons, Berlin, Md.,
made a large display of privet growing
in boxes like giant window boxes, ever-
greens in variety, fruit trees and a gen-

cinths in twenty-seven varieties, includ-
ing La Innocence of extraordinary size;
thirty varieties of tulips, just arrived;
twenty varieties of narcissi, including
several rare kinds; buttercup, scilla,
monster bulbs ; a full line of French
bulbs, all sizes of Harrisii and cold stor-
age giganteums. On another table was
a full line of greenhouse and garden

Philip Freud, with several assistants.
A budding and grafting knife was the
souvenir.

Stumpp & Walter Co., New York, had
some delay in getting their stock to the
hall, but staged a line of Dutch bulbs
in 140 varieties of tulips and hyacinths,
all large, solid stock. They also had a
full line of French bulbs, Harrisii,
freesias, etc. They make a specialty of
garden requisites and showed a big line
of implements, insecticides, etc. English
wall nails were included, also the Rex
tag for the same purpose. A grass shears
was shown which can be taken apart for
sharpening. W. A. Sperling was present,
but the exhibit was in charge of Otto

flowering qualities than for the im-
ported bulbs. A line of Holland-grown
hyacinths also was shown. W. Guille
was in charge.

Sons, Hillegom, Holland. J. L; Towner
was in charge.

Building Material.

Lord & Burnham Co., New York, had
a model greenhouse showing their pipe
frame construction with the V-shaped
truss on the giant arch. It was espe-
cially good because so built that every
part could be closely examined. Two
sectional boilers were shown, cold-
frames in various sizes, iron gutter in
different styles, curved eave, a new
machine-mixed paint, etc., the enclosure
being formed by frames carrying pipe

ventilating apparatus in operation.
Any visitor could turn the wheel and
see the working of the new Twistless

of pipe fittings also was shown. The
display was in charge of J. E. Jones,
R. E. Jones and Harvey Packer.

Hitchings & Co., New York, showed
their new quick-draft sectional boiler
in two sizes, the smallest and the
largest. A nice little detail is that
all the doors are provided with rustless
brass pins. On screens were shown
sectional details of their eave plate
house, the curved eave house, all the
various sashbars, gutters and the half-
iron-frame house. John McArthur was

ing concrete bench posts, a handy truck
with rack for carrying flats and an iron
frame bench with new supports for

of Giblin & Co., was on hand, but the
boilers were among the things that
failed to arrive in time. '

The Quaker City Machine Co., Rich-
mond, Ind., showed the Challenge ven-
tilating apparatus, embodying the
Twentieth Century Arm. J. A. Evans
was demonstrating.

Heating Apparatus.

Kroeschell Bros. Co., Chicago, was
represented by an exhibit that weighed
23,000 pounds. It was identical with
the display made at the National Flow-
er Show at Boston, except that it also
included a new 2-inch return system of
piping and a new shaking grate. The
No. 14 boiler, capable of heating 48,-
000 feet of glass, was sold to J. D.
Cockcroft, Northport, L. I., who will
.use it to heat greenhouses 400 feet long
"with hot water on the gravity system.
The piping shown included the boiler
tube system, 8-inch flows and the gen-
erator that puts the system under pres-
sure. ■' Fred Lautenschlager was in
charge, as usual.

The American Auxiliary Heating
Co., Boston, showed two of its circu-
lators, one directly connected with the
motor and one connected by a belt.
This apparatus is to accelerate the cir-
culation of "water in greenhouse heat-
ing systems. It pumps the water, caus-
ing it to flow even though cold. The
forced circulation may be had by the
I use of electric, gas or water motor and

a circulator is built that starts auto-
matically when needed. The ex-
hibit was in charge of J. L. Congdon.

William Moll, Cleveland, O., showed
the Ideal steam trap, the Ideal pipe
clamp and the Bate evaporator for nico-
tine solutions. T. W. Moll was the
demonstrator. A hat card was the sou-
venir.

The American Blower Co., Detroit,
showed one of the larger sizes of the
New Detroit return trap, with G. D.
Millspaugh explaining its working and
handing out catalogues.

The Johnston Heating Co., New York,
set up one of its return tubular fire-
box boilers, a size capable of heating
39,000 square feet of glass by either
steam or hot water. The boiler was
sold for delivery in western New York.
J. F. Johnston was in charge.

The Morehead Mfg. Co., Detroit, had
a large display of the Morehead tilting
return traps, each trap shown being
built for some special pufpose. The
line includes, besides the return trap
and boiler feed, vacuum and con-
denser traps that draw live steam when
the pressure on the coils is extremely
light. The display was in charge of
R. J. Fridinger, the Baltimore agent.

Morton McI. Dukhart, Baltimore
agent for the Gem City Boiler Co.,
Dayton, 0., showed a fifty horse-power
return tubular portable steel boiler and
a pneumatic pumping system by which
he gives a syringing pressure, or great-
er, from a steel tank, the pumping be-
ing done by an electric motor or a
gas or gasoline engine.

The United States Radiator Corpora-
tion, Dunkirk, N. Y., through its Balti-
more agent, Jonas Naylor, showed a

33-infh square sectional Furman boiler
for water and a similar 18-inch boiler
for steam; also two 22-inch round Fur-
mans, three tank heaters, radiators, etc.
John B. Adt, Baltimore, showed a
Peerless sectional boiler. M. E. Mc-
Gechin was in charge.

Hose and Pots.

The Revere Rubber Co., Chelsea, Mass.,
put up the same pergola made of Eevero
hose that it used as a booth at the
National Flower Show. Tliere was plenty
of new hose, but, also, there was some
old hose, one section of fifty feet hav-
ing been in such continuous use for
three years that G. C. C. Schrader, Elm-
hurst, L. I., refused to loan it for the
purpose of exhibition until he was sent
a new piece to use while the old piece
was gone. Not necessary to say that the
old pieces were still good after hard
use. Geo. Wittemore, of Boston, and E.
W." Holt, of New York, were in charge.

Wilmer I. Cope & Bro.. Lincoln Uni
versity, Pa., showed a line of smooth
pots taken from stock. Caleb D. Cope
was in charge.

W. H. Elverson Pottery Co., New
Brighton, Pa., staged its line of pots
and bulb, and azalea pans in all sizes.
W. H. Elverson and F. W. Elverson were
in charge.

A. H. Hews & Co., Cambridge, Mass.,
who started making pottery eleven years
before the Declaration of Independence
was signed, showed the flower pots they
have been making ever since pots were
used. Now they make nothing but flower
pots, from 1-inch to 24-inch. L. D.
Bryant was telling the story.

P. B. Crosby & Son, Catonsville, Balti-
more, showed paper pots, sold flat, to be
put together by the user with a tack.
Plants were shown that had been started
weeks ago from seeds planted in the
pots. P. B. Crosby was in charge.

The Detroit Flower M'f'y, Detroit.
Harry Balsley, representative, showed
its line of red pots, half pots, etc.

The Roseville Pottery Co., Zanesville,
O., sent an unusually large display, ten
cases of goods, in charge of John
Humphreys. It was so large a line
that the unpacking had not been corti-
pleted when it became necessary to
dispatch this report.

The Quaker City Rubber Co., Phila-
delphia, showed samples of a large
number of brands of rubber hose. J.
Musgrave was in charge.

Miscellaneous.

Means & Thatcher, Boston, who made
their first display at the National Flower
Show, exhibited Winner brand paint and
putty. E. E. Dunlap was in charge.

Vaughan's Seed Store, New York and
Chicago, sljowed a full line of first and
second size named, bedding and forcing
hyacinths; a full line of tulips, includ-
ing Darwins; a full line of French
bulbs, extra size; Paper "Whites and Pa-
per White grandiflora precocious, ten
to fourteen days earlier ; Harrisii, cold
storage giganteums, ScoUay sprayers, a
giant sprayer, raffia, brass-bound oak
jardinieres, raffia in many colors, insecti-
cides, Neponset paper pots and many
other articles. W. E. Cook and H.
Cheeseman were in charge.

The O. F. Zurn Co.. Philadelphia,
showed Shaderine, a powder to be wet
up for shading on greenhouse roofs, said
to wear off and leave the glass clear and
bright.

The Plant and Land Food Co., Balti-
more, showed fertilizers and a compost

mixing machine driven by a motor, the
whole mounted on wagon wheels for easy
removal from place to place.

The Lemon Oil Co., Baltimore, erected
an attractive booth for the display of
cans of lemon oil insecticides.

I. L. Pillsbury, Galesburg, 111., showed
his carnation calyx mender, being as-
sisted by Mrs. Pillsbury.

A. T. De La Mare Printing and Pub-
lishing Co., New York, had a display of
horticultural books. Mr. De La Mare
was present, with several assistants.

The Aphine Mfg. Co., Madison, N. J.,
showed its products, Aphine and Fun-
gine. M. C. Ebel was in charge.

The Thomsen Chemical Co., Balti-
more, showed a large line of orchal-d
sprays.

Muller & Klein, Norristown, Pa.,
showed an adjustable flower pot and
vase holder for cemetery use.

The McFarland Publicity Co., Harris-
burg, Pa., had a table of horticultural
business literature, including cata-
logues, advertisements and follow-ups.
A penholder was given as a souvenir,
possibly as a delicate way of saying,
"Please write when you get home."

The Williams Florists' Supply Co.,
Utica, N. Y., showed the Williams
adjustable carnation tie, an exceedingly
simple device of wire to hold the plants
upright on the bench. J. J. Williams
was demonstrating.

Worcester, Mass. — F. E. Keyes is re-
building some of the houses erected
by his father half a century ago. They
were still in fair shape, but, as Mr.
Keyes says, up-to-date methods in-
clude up-to-date houses.

THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.

[The foUowlng is the address of President
George Asinus, read before the Society of Amer-
lean Florists, In convention at Baltimore, August
15 to 18, 1911.]

It is with great pleasure I a<ldress
you on this occasion, the twenty-seventh
annual meeting of our society. Although
this is the first time this city has been
chosen for a meeting place, it is not the
first time we have been guests of our
brethren in Baltimore, for the memory
has been ever dear to us of that splendid
afternoon and evening's entertainment
on Friday, August 18, 1905, when, as a
fitting climax to an enjoyable and profit-
able meeting in the city of Washington,
we were welcomed here in true southern
spirit, and now we are here again to par-
tially pay that debt of gratitude, even
as a victorious army returns from the
scene of conflict. In the six years that
have passed we have to our credit many
victories won by legislation and arbitra-
tion for the general good of oQr profes-
sion and those engaged in it. We also
have a much larger sum of money in our
treasury, a greatly increased membership
roll and two great, successful national
flower shows to look back upon.

The National Shows.

The one thing that stands out promi-
nently in connection with the show held
in Boston last March was the bringing
together of the different societies for
the display of their productions and the
opportunity of attending the different
meetings at one expense of time and
travel. This had been one of my great
desires for a number of years. The
great growth of our business has necessi-
tated the specializing of many of our

large growers and with them it was a
case of "Not that I love you less, Brutus,
but that I love Ca;sar more," meaning
that their greater interests were in one
of the special societies, but we have
solved that problem and never again
must we meet separately. Ours is one
cause for the good of all. Our national
shows have come to stay and to that end
we should organize at once. The shows
should be held once every two years.
It is true that the first shows took a
longer period of preparation, but that
time was used in careful consideration
of premium lists, finances and other de-
tails which gave us the experience we
needed.

Tlie national show should always be
held in the spring. Fall shows are not
new and are covered in nearly all large,
cities, and in this connection T wish to
state that I am pleased that many local
societies and florists' clubs are following
the example of the national society.
Now, if we wish to profit by the ex-
periences in past shows, we must always
have as men at the head some of those
who have assisted in previous shows and
as briefly as possible I will outline my
plan for your consideration.

Permanent Show Committee.

I would suggest a permanent national
flower show committee, say of six, tu
be appointed, two for six years, two for
four years and two for two years and
every other year the president to appoint
the members for the six-year term. Thus
there would always be on the committee
four members of at least two shows' ex-
perience. These committeemen should be
as representative as possible of the differ-
ent societies taking part in the show.
The chairman of this committee could
be elected by the committee or appointed
by the president after the location of the
show had been decided upon, as it would
be of great advantage to have the chair-
man close at hand. These exhibitions,
properly conducted, show but little chance
for loss and therefore I would suggest
that fifty per cent guarantee be assumed
by the society and fifty per cent, as in
the past, by personal subscription.

Trade Exhibits at National Shows.

Trade exhibitions and the selling of
space as inaugurated at Boston proved
wise and should be continued, ami the
checking of receipts and disbursements
should be done by our officers, as we have
a system that has always proved ade-
quate for that purpose and officials that
are paid for that work. The great good
done by such, exhibitions cannot easily
be conceived. The standing it gives the
trade and the general promotion of horti-
culture are apparent when the vast
throngs that visit the shows and the
newspaper publicity given them are con-
sidered. There are no doubt some of you
who will differ with me and say that
the shows should be conducted outside
the society, but I say no. We have found
the way to cement our different lines into
one general interest. The meetjjQgs and
the organization of this society have
made this possible and we must not take
this healthy young child from the mother
organization. Our national charter was
given us, too, for the development and
advancement of floriculture and horti-
culture in all its branches and we are
coming near to complying with that in
these exhibitions.

The charter, constitution and by-laws
should be printed with the proceedings
every year, and it would be well to print

(Set-retary Baltimore Florists' and Gardeners' Club.)

therewith proposed amendments to the
constitution and by-laws.

Dividing Convention Expenses.

It has been my experience that im-
mediately after the selection of a city
for the convention the coming year, in-
quiries are instituted as to what part
of the expense the society will have to
assume, and I think that a by-law should
be passed that would cover this matter
in a general way. The officers of our
society awakened to the fact a few years
ago that our membership was not de-
veloping in proportion to the expense
which we incurred, and about the same
time we also discovered that one of our
largest assets, the trade exhibition, was
being used as a big joy fund, and in
several instances th6re was enough left,
although we all had participated in con-
siderable joy, to fatten the treasury of
the local organization.

The necessity of stringent rules for
the proper conducting, the charging and
rating and the responsibility was ap-
parent, and the rules to manage and
maintain that part of conventions were
adopted, and the results of that action
are just beginning to be felt. By re-
ferring to the report of the Rochester
meeting it will be found that over $1,500
was added to the treasury after paying
all expenses. Thus, when we accept in-
vitations from cities that as an induce-
ment give us concessions such as hall
rent, etc., free, it is of great assistance.
This beautiful building has been granted
to us by the Baltimore brethren on be-
half of the business men of the city on
those conditions. Then the three prin-
cipal things for us to consider in the
selection of the next place of meeting
are: The offering of the hall, the ad-

vantage to our trade exhibitors and the
opportunity for increase in membership.

Entertaiimient at Conventions'.

The society has no financial induce-
ments to offer any city soliciting the
convention. It long has asked that lav-
ish entertainment be done away with, as
there is always one enjoyment, greater
than any other, that of meeting your
fellow in trade and exchanging ideas.
The amount of business we have to do
sometimes suffers by the entertainments.
I can see the day not far distant when
the fourth day on the program will have
to be devoted to business sessions. De-
bates and discussions on subjects im-
portant to everyone are frequently
shortened for lack of time, and several
of our important committees have com-
plained that, after a large amount of
work and the preparation of a lengthy
report, the matter is hastily rushed
through and much that might be gained
by discussion is lost.

I do not wish to be understood as
against all entertainment. There never
need be any fear of that! The danger,
if any, lies in each city trying to outdo
the other.

The Rower and Plant Exhibits.

At the convention in Cincinnati two
years ago a resolution was adopted to
hold a cut flower and plant exhibition
in connection with the trade exhibition.
This was attempted at Rochester last
summer by the Rochester florists, who,
with the aid of exhibits by trades people,
made a creditable showing. I am pleased
to note that the members of the Ameri-
can Gladiolus Society are with us as a
body, and it is just such exhibits as this
that will make the exhibitions possible.

ThcWeckly Florists' Review.

AUQUST 17, 1011.

The board of directors has proposed,
as one way to promote the plant and
flower exhibition at the convention, to
allow the local people at certain times
to admit the public at a reasonable ad-
mission, the money thus obtained to help
defray the expense of music, decorations,
etc.

Superintendent of Exhibits.

Eules 1 and 2, as adopted by the
executive board, should, I think, be added
to our constitution and by-laws, and are
as follows:

"1. The society shall control all the
features of the trade exhibitien.

' ' 2. There shall be appointed annually
at the winter meeting of the executive
board a superintendent of exhibits and
an advisory committee of three. Said
superintendent shall have general charge
of all details of the annual exhibition.
He shall receive all applications for space
and assign the same in the order in which
they are received by him. He shall
furnish the society, through the secre-
tary thereof, a list of the exhibitors
and exhibits by 1:00 p. m. on the day
of opening the convention. He shall
also furnish the secretary with a list
of novelties and new devices submit-
ted for awards, said list to be for the
use of the judges.

' ' He shall make no expenditure exceed-
ing $10 in amount without the consent
of the advisory committee. He shall
keep full, detailed records of receipts
and expenditures and other matters of
importance relating to the exhibition.
Immediately after the close of the con-
vention he shall make a complete report,
which, after having been audited and
approved by the advisory committee,
shall be forwarded vrith the records of
the exhibition to the secretary. All
money collected by him shall be for-
warded from time to time, without undue
delay, to the secretary. All bills in-
curred shall be endorsed by him and sub-
mitted to the advisory committee for
approval, after which they shall be sent
to the secretary for payment by the
treasurer of the society.

"The advisory committee shall act as
an advisory and audit board, subject to
instructions of the executive board, and
in case of disagreement between them
and the superintendent their decision
shall be final, except it be reviewed by
the executive board."

My reason for this is that it has taken
years of work to bring this feature up
to its present standard and a matter in
which the revenue involved is so large
in comparison with the total amount of
dues received should be under the control
of the society proper. The details should
be left as they now are, in the control
of the board, as minor changes are often
necessary.

Increasing the Membership.

This is one of the great problems
that confront us, and in proportion to
the growth of all branches of our busi-
ness, it suffers by comparison. Reasons
and theories have been advanced, but
when the benefits derived are considered
it seems incredible. True, we are slowly
and steadily growing. Our secretary's
report will show that we made a fine
gain during the national show at Boston,
and the results of recent efforts with
which you are familiar through the liter-
ature "received will also be given you,
but when our tariff and legislation com-
mittees go before bodies of whom we
are asking our rights, they immediately
want to know who we are and whom

we represent, and our membership of
only eleven hundred does not signify that
we are as strong as we should be to
obtain proper recognition.

By carefully examining the secretary's
reports we find that our gains in mem-
bership are almost entirely at conven-
tions or national flower shows and in
some cities where we had reason to ex-
pect the largest increase we were disap-
pointed, and for the reason, we have
discovered, that the open hand of hos-
pitality was 60 far-reaching. The craft
in general has been invited, regardless
of their being attached to any organi-
zation. Just so long as they were flo-
rists they were feted and treated, and
went away happy, but forgot the mag-
nitude of hospitality offered them
through the members of the society and
the society itself.

The S. A. F. Fins.

We have been so liberal that we
thought it would be terrible if when
a florist cj^e to the outer doors of the
tabernacle and asked for admission, we
would ask him if he was a member, but
does not the work of you gentlemen for
the last twenty-six years in their interests
demand support? Aye, and so for sev-
eral years past we have asked that in
consideration of his membership we shall
pin upon his bosom the highest token of
honor, the leaf and emblem of our na-
tional organization, which grants the
right to our festive occasions and busi-
ness meetings. Not to be severe with
those that are paying for space in our
trade exhibitions, we have granted them
the privilege, by personal recognition, of
bringing into the building our brothers
in the trade, and we have always hoped
and trusted that before they retired they
would join in our ranks — this has helped
us gain some members and it will con-
tinue to do so just as long as we adhere
to this policy.

A natural increase in membership also
comes from the convention being held
in new localities where the society has
not held its meetings for several years,
and in the selection of the place for the
next meeting this should be given due
consideration.

The Elections.

I am now going to voice the sentiments
•expressed by several of my predecessors
and say that the president of our society
ought to have had experience on the
executive board, to make him better fitted
for the office. I am also in favor of the
election of the board of directors by the
society. I think that the selection of
the men to perform the important work
of the board would be better left to the
discretion of a number of men rather
than to the several presidents. On the
contrary, with the oflices of secretary
and treasurer, their work has to be
scrutinized by the board, who are also
the instigators of a large proportion of
their work. If perchance the offices were
not satisfactorily filled — and satisfate-
torily means judiciously, promptly, cor-
rectly and obediently — there is no imme-
diate redemption. Their official capacity
is better known to the board to whom
are entrusted the welfare of the society
and the greater proportion of our serious
questions; therefore why not this!

Becompensing the OfAcers.

In conducting the trade exhibit it
has been the custom to hire a superin-
tendent and as a recompense allow him
ten per cent of the gross amount de-

rived from the rentals of space, which
for several years past have amounted
to from $225 to $250, and on several
occasions an additional $50 has been al-
lowed as expense outside of the ordinary
requirements. There have always been
a number of other items, such as stenog-
rapher, bookkeeper and miscellaneous ex-
penses, which approximately, from the
reports of the last several years, amount
to between $400 and $600.

Each year the office accounts and rec-
ords are kept differently and I know of
no time when any of the incidentals con-
nected with this office were ever used for
another year, all of which means some
outlay. Now, we are all nearly agreed
that the secretary's salary is hardly
enough to recompense a man such as is
necessary to properly perform the im-
portant duties connected with this office
for his entire time. Our membership is
not increasing rapidly enough to increase
this salary. Now then, the same con-
ditions exist concerning the office of su-
perintendent of trade exhibits. We can
not employ one for a long enough period
at the amount usually earned, for he must
have other employment at the same time
and perhaps that something else is his
own business or his employer's; there-
fore, we have two important positions
partially, when we could have them
wholly filled at a reasonable increase.

Combining Two Offices.

Now, why not combine the duties of
the twof They both are clerical in their
way, and both at a certain time need
the undivided attention of one man. The
duties- of the superintendent of trade
exhibits are mostly correspondence, except
for a short period before the exhibition
and then the secretary should be giving
his undivided time for the good of our
organization and should be in the city
where the convention is to be held, assist-
ing, as a paid official, the many willing
volunteers who are giving their time,
without recompense, toward preparing
for the grand welcomes that have greeted
us in the past and in this city at this
time. This is my solution of obtain-
in that for which we have been striv-
ing, the undivided time of a secretary
and superintendent of trade exhibits.

It can easily be seen that both offi-
ces can be combined and the duties be
competently and judiciously performed.
The secretary has all the advantage of
his office to secure new business, and the
combining of the two offices does not en-
tail any more expense than we have been
under during the last two or three years,
but it means better results. The amount
of salary I have in view at the present
time is $1,500 per year, and if the work
increases as it should under proper super-
vision, our income will increase, and the
time is not far distant when $2,000 a
year should be • our secretary 's salary.
He would be the proper man for secretary
of the national flower shows; his statis-
tics and experience would make him the
natural choice; his salary and the duties
of his office ought to make his presence a
necessity on such occasions.

Separate Section Meetings.

The adoption of this suggestion of
President Valentine was one of the good
things that cannot be praised too highly,
and is conducive to great good to the
different societies as well as to our own.
Buildings such as this in which we are
meeting are particularly adapted, with
the different regimental rooms available.
I have always been a believer in the

necessity of these societies and of their
being able to better carry out their
apecific work than can be done in our
general meetings. They do not conflict,
but .assist, and every organization per-
taining to horticulture, whether a florists '
club, horticultural society, gardeners' as-
sociation or any other specific in its
character, formed to promote its own in-
terests, and at the same time the interests
of horticulture, should have the encour-
agement and support of our society.
Perhaps some plan could be developed
whereby each one of these organizations,
when they could show a certain number
of their membership in our society, would
be entitled to a representation on our
board of directors. This would help make
our board representative of all interests
and be an inducement for them to get
their members into the national organi-
zation, thus materially increasing our
membership.

The Outlook.

The last year has been one upon which
we can look back with much satisfaction,
for while business in a great many other
lines has not been up to standard and
a great feeling of unrest has prevailed
among some of them, we, generally speak-
ing, have no complaint and the outlook
for a continuance is most promising.
There have been fears of overproduction
among the conservative, but this has not
developed, and these fears must have
passed away, judging from the large
number of buildings being erected or
contracted for at present. Some of the
building concerns say that this year prom-
ises to be the heaviest in their history.

In conclusion, I wish to state that I
have refrained from touching on many
subjects of importance to the society,
but they are in the hands of carefully
selected committees, whose familiarity
with their work will give to you far
better recommendations than I could, and
their reports will be presented in due
time at this convention.

THE NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.

[The following is the report of the com-
mittee on the second National Flower
Show, presented by the chairman of the
committee, F. R. Pierson, at the conven-
tion of the Society of American Floriata In
Baltimore, Auguat 15 to 18, 1911.]

The second Natidnal Flower Show
opened its doors to the public in Me-
chanics building, Boston, March 25,
1911, continuing until Sunday, April 2.
The formal opening took place on the
evening of March 25, on which occa-
sion we were honored by the presence
of Governor Foss of Massachusetts,
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, Congress-
man Samuel McCall and others, who ad-
dressed the large and distinguished au-
dience gathered in Paul Kevere hall,
contributing greatly to the interest and
eclat of the opening of the exhibition.
The weather was unseasonably cold at
the time of the opening, but, in spite
of this drawback, I think I can mod-
estly say that no previous exhibition
ever held in this country approached
this one in its scope and magnificence.
The large attendance of the trade from
all over the country, at a busy season
of the year, and especially the large
local attendance, was most gratifying.

A Financial Success.

You are all aware of the success of
this show from a horticultural stand-
point, and I am sure you will be pleased
to know that it was not only a horti-
cultural success but a financial success
as well. The number of paid admis-
sions—38,915 — amounted to $18,982. At
the first National Flower Show the num-
ber of paid admissions was 29,790,
amounting to $17,791. This by way of
comparison, although at the first show
75 cents was charged for admission,
while at Boston 50 cents was considered
the highest fee it was practicable to
charge, on account of the fact that
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
had been in the habit of giving exceed-
ingly fine shows practically free. The
amount distributed for cash prizes was
$8,013.10; at Chicago, $5,447 was paid
out for premiums. The total receipts,
including the amount received from the
guarantors, was $39,027.87, from which
amount, after deducting all expenses
and refunding to the guarantors the
amount paid by them, there was left a
gross profit of $3,655.46. ,

Payment of the Manager. ' "^

We were most fortunate in securing
the services of Chester I. Campbell as
manager, who, because of his experience
in carrying on large exhibitions, par-
ticularly in Boston, was able to effect
many economies which otherwise would
have been impossible, and who was a
great aid to the ef&cient work of the
committee. Mr. Campbell, according to
the arrangement made with him, was
to receive, in lieu of salary and ofSce
expenses in the preliminary work of or-
ganization, securing the trade exhibits,
etc., a percentage from the rental of the
floor space, and, in addition, one-third
of the gross profits, if any. In view of
the uncertainty as to whether this show
could be made a financial success, 'this
was considered a safe, conservative and
advantageous arrangement, as it ob-
viated incurring any large fixed charges
and practically made Mr. Campbell a
partner in the enterprise. After paying
Mr. Campbell one-third of the gross
profits, according to the agreement, and
returning to the guarantors a ten per
cent dividend — the same as was re^
turned at the first show — there was a
net profit of $1,450.97 remaining for the
Society of American Florists.

Work of Organization.

The preliminary work of organiza-
tion was mapped out by representatives
from the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society, the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club and the two Boston cut flower
markets, in connection with the Na-
tional Flower Show committee. After
the preliminary work of organization
was in hand, on account of the im-
mense amount of labor involved in the
work preparatory to so large an under-
taking, and the fact that the members
of the National Flower Show commit-
tee were so widely separated, it was
deemed wise to entrust the detail work
to a small local executive committee.
Accordingly, such committee was ap-
pointed, styled the board of control,
and consisted of John K. M. L. Far-
quhar, Thomas Boland, Patrick Welsh;
and E. Allan Peirce, with myself as
chairman.

No one who has not had experience
can realize the amount of work neces-
sary to execute an undertaking of this
magnitude, and I take this occasion to

The Weekly Florists' Review*

August 17, 1911»

express my appreciation of the splendid
services rendered by the gentlemen
named, to whom, because of their inde-
fatigable labor in connection with the
show, from the beginning to the end,
no little credit is due for the success
of the exhibition. I shall long remem-
ber my pleasant association with them
in carrying on the work, which was ab-
solutely harmonious throughout. I
wish aJso to state that the services of
the board of control and of the Na-
tional Flower Show committee were
given entirely gratuitously. No one
received any remuneration in the way
of salary, and each one paid his own
traveling expenses, hotel bills and all
other expenses.

r

Helpful Cooperation.

One of the most pleasing features of
the show was the hearty cooperation
of the various horticultural societies,
and it was largely due to their coopera-
tion that the show was the success that
it proved to be. "We had the united
support of the American Carnation So-
ciety, the American Eose Society, the
National Sweet Pea Society, the Na-
tional Gladiolus Society, the National
Association of Gardeners, the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society, the
Massachusetts State Board of Agricul-
ture, the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club of Boston, and other allied horti-
cultural interests in the vicinity of
Boston.

In preparing the premium lists, the
Carnation Society, the Eose Society,
the Sweet Pea Society and the Na-
tional Association of Gardeners were
asked to prepare their own schedules.
The care and thought with which these,
as well as the general schedule, were
prepared is best evidenced by the fact
that over eighty per cent of the pre-
miums offered were won. This gave
each society control practically over
its own particular interest, and tended
to harmonjr and good fellowship. It
was the carrying out to a logical se-
quence the idea of home rule. It
proved in a practical, logical way that
it is not impossible to "have all the
auxiliary societies united in one har-
monious whole, and I think that the
getting together of the different so-
cieties in making one grand show has
demonstrated the truth of the adage, in
horticultural as well as in other mat-
ters, that * * in union there is strength. ' '

Frequency of National Shows.

Undoubtedly, it is impracticable to
repeat these flower shows annually. A
work of this magnitude involves so
much labor and expense that a national
flower show should probably be held
not oftener than once in three years,
and in different parts of the country,
alternating between eastern and west-
ern cities. There is no doubt that the
educational benefits derived from these
shows are great. The attendance at
Chicago and at Boston proves that the
public is interested in horticulture. Our
summer conventions do not meet this
need; they are more particularly in-
tended to carry on the work of the so-
ciety and to promote its social and im-
mediate business interests, whereas a
national flower show, held in the
spring, and once in about every three
years, can be made of particular inter-
est to the general public and a great
educational factor in horticulture.

I am glad that the success of this
second National Flower Show has dem-

onstrated to the Eose Society and the
Carnation Society the advantages to be
derived from a combined exhibition.
The success of the Boston spring show
has resulted in the Eose and Carna-
tion Societies getting together to hold
their next atinual show in Detroit, and
we hope that this work, so well begun,
will be carried forward along these
lines, as we believe it is a move in the
right direction.

The English Visitors.

A pleasing feature of the exhibition
— I must not omit to mention — was the
presence of our English friends, who
made it a point to time their visit at
the time of the flower show, contribut-
ing much to the pleasure of the occa-
sion.

We wish to acknowledge our indebt-
edness to the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club and to the ladies of Boston for
the cordiality of the hospitality ex-
tended by them. The trade exhibit was
exceedingly large and comprehensive
and added no small part to the success
of the general result, and the commit-
tee believes that those represented
found themselves amply repaid for the
expense and labor involved. In addi-
tion to the cash prizes awarded, there
was a large number of silver cups do-
nated by many generous friends; also
a number of S. A. F. medals and cer-
tificates of merit. Besides these, the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society,
through its own committee, awarded
numerous gold and silver medals in rec-
ognition of superior culture and merit;
and we wish to express to this so-
ciety our appreciation of its liberality
in this mattet.

SECRETAEY'S EEPOBT.

[The following Is the report of Secretary H.
B. Domer, read before the Society of American
Florists, In coDvention at Baltimore, August 16
to 18, 1911.] \

I have the pleasure of presenting to-
day the secretary's report for the
twenty-seventh annual convention of
this, one of the finest national or-
ganizations in the country. It has been
a pleasure to follow the work of the
organization for the year. WhUe the
society has not made the progress that
was really possible, there &re things
that will help to make us more, proud
of our organization.

The National Flower Show.

Perhaps the most important event of
the year has been the National Flower
Show. All who were there will agree
that it was the finest flower show ever
held in this country. Many of the ex-
hibitions were beyond expectation and
all were worthy of the trip to see them.
A full report will be given later by
the committee through whose efforts
such a show was made possible.

Condition of the Finances.

The finances of the society are gradu-
ally improving. The permanent or life
membership fund has been increased
since the last convention by the sum
of $1,261.65. This amount was derived
from the fees taken for life member-
ships and interests accruing during the
year. The fund has now reached the
sum of $9,700.15. Of this amount
$7,500 is invested in the form of two
loans secured by mortgages on proper-
ties located at Fort Wayne, Ind. These
securities bear interest at five per cent.

Membership.

The membership has also been stead-
ily increasing. At the end of 1909 the
membership of the society was 995.
At the end of 1910 this was raised to
1,073, with the prospect that it will be
much increased during the present year.
The paid-up membership up to August
10 is 1,055, or just eighteen less than
at the end of 1910. One hundred and
seventy-five of the members on last
year's roll have as yet failed to pay
their dues, but a number will do so
before the year is over.

New Members.

One hundred and fifty-seven new
members have already been taken in
during the year. This is more than
twice the number that were added up
to the same date last year. At the
suggestion of the president, letters were
sent out to all the members, making an
appeal for increased membership. The
appeal was in the form of a request
that each member make an attempt to
secure at least one new member. The
names of all members sending in ap-
plications are to be included in the
printed report. Up to date nineteen
of the numbered application blanks,
which were sent out with the letters,
have been returned. The following
members sent in one or more applica-
tions:

E. A. Pelrce

Morris Goldenson . . . .

R. Vincent, Jr

Few realize that, by a little concerted
effort on the part of the members, the
membership can easily be doubled. It
is to be hoped that the method sug-
gested by President Asmus will be con-
tinued from year to year and that the
members will make a greater effort to
aid the society in this manner.

Of the new members added to our
roll, five have come in as life members.
In addition to these, fifteen old mem-
bers have also become life members,
making a total of twenty for the cur-
rent year. This now gives the society
272 life members.

Transportation.

As usual, application for rates was
made of all the passenger associations.
This was granted by the Trunk Line
Association and refused by the re-
mainder. The Canadian, the South-
eastern, the Western and the South-
western Associations refused to grant
rates, owing to the small number at-
tending from those districts. The
Central Association stated that it has
ceased to grant rates unless an at-
tendance of 1,000 be guaranteed. Owing
to the reduced fares in many of the
states, it is becoming more difficult
each year to secure rates.

Trade Exhibition.

The trade exhibition of lylO was by
far the most successful ever held.
Superintendent Vick and his associates
at Eochester should be commended for
the able manner in which the exhibition
was handled. The total receipts for
the sale of space were $2,460.43. The
total expenditures were $944.52, leav-
ing a net profit of $1,515.91. Several
changes were made this year in the
rules governing the exhibition, and it
is to be hoped that they will do much
to improve our exhibitions. It is
hoped that the present exhibition will
excel that of last year, as it did that of
any previous year.

Entomologist and Pathologist.

The attention of the members should
be called to the excellent reports given
last year by the entomologist and path-
ologist, which are printed in the pro-
ceedings for 1910. Reports such as
these can only be prepared by the ex-
penditure of much labor and money.

Plant Begistration.

Thirty-two plants have been reg-
istered during the last year, as follows:

No. 440 — Oct. 6, 1910, Coleus, Fanny Ross, by
J. W. Ross Co., Centralla, 111.

committee.

Trade Press.

The members of the trade press con-
tinue to give the society their cordial
support. They have always been ready
to print all notices and items sent to
them by the secretary. The thanks of
the society is also due them for the
complimentary copies of their publica-
tions sent for the use of the secretary.

Secretaryship.

Before closing this report, a word
or two should be said regarding the
secretary's office. The work of the of-
fice is getting heavier each 7 ear and
has now reached the point Tvhere the
entire time of the secretary should be
devoted to the interests of the society.
Experience of the last two years has
shown that the work can not be effi-
ciently done by anyone who has other
duties to perform. Where such is the
case, it is the society's and not the
man's business that suffers. The sec-
retary should work to secure increased
membership and that takes time. He
should be able to give assistance to
the various committees, so that they
will be able to carry on their work
without such sacrifice of time and
money as is now necessary to accom-
plish anything. More could be ac-
complished in this way. Why should we
insist upon holding to the methods used
in the society twenty-five years ago,
any more than we should insist upon

using the methods employed by garden-
ers of that period, when those methods
do not suit our present-day conditions!
Any member who has the interests of
the society at heart must see the ne-
cessity of a change. Many other duties
that are neglected at the present time
could be given the necessary attention.
In closing I wish to thank the mem-
bers of the society for all their kind
consideration and help given to the
secretary during the last two years.

of American Florists, in conTention at Baltimore,
August 15 to 18, 1911.]

The attention of your committee was
called to the importance of reciprocal ex-
change of floral products between the
United States and Canada. An attempt
on the part of your chairman to obtain
the opinion of not only the committee,
but of some of the persons who were
likely to be vitally interested, brought
out such a diversity of opinion that a
reconunendation was made to the execu-
tive committee of the S. A. F. to have
the subject discussed from both sides of
the boundary line, at this convention.
This was acted upon by the executive
committee and it is the hope of the tariff
and legislative committee that, after Mr.
Mepsted and Mr. Welch have given their
views on the subject, the matter will be
thoroughly discussed and your committee
fully instructed by the S. A. F. as to
future procedure in the matter.

In order to view this subject intelli-
gently, we herewith give the American
duty on floral imports, the Canadian duty
and the concessions the Canadian Horti-
cultural Society was willing to make last
year:

Peony, Iris Kaempferi and Germanlca, canna,

All other bulbs cultivated for their flowers or

Your chairman made a suggestion to
the Canadian Horticultural Association
that its members further discuss the sub-
ject this year, and if possible notify us
of a minimum rate that they would be
willing to accept. Mr. Mepsted, in his
address, will no doubt furnish this infor-
mation upon this subject. Your com-
mittee would suggest that if both socie-
ties could agree upon the same rate, it
would undoubtedly make it easier work
for both committees to secure what was
mutually desired.

Another important subject is: House
Bill No. 8611 and Senate Bill No. 2870,

both giving the Secretary of Agriculture
large and possibly dangerous discretion-
ary power over the importation of nur-
sery stock and some kinds of floral prod-
ucts. The nurserymen ask our coopera-
tion in their effort to have the bill amend-
ed, so as to have the discretionary power
placed within reasonable bounds. Your
committee again asks that you give this
matter earnest, not slipshod attention,
and that you give specific instruction as
to your wishes. \

Complaints About Express Service.

A complaint concerning the dilatory
delivery of cut flowers by the U. S. Ex-
press Co. has been taken up with the
company. This complaint is brought
about as a result of the recent strike and
its solution has not progressed far enough
to make a definite report possible. The
labor trust seems to be master of the sit-
uation. Your chairman proniJFes to carry
it to its ultimate conclusion, even if it
leads to the Inter-State Commerce Com-
miaeion.

Another complaint concerning the
routing of goods was taken up with the
express companies, and an admission that
their officials were in error was secured.
Directions were given by the express
companies how to secure proper service in
the future.

Your committee would also suggest
that any information concerning the cost
of production, at homo or abroad, of
glass or any other product, entering into
the construction of greenhouse establish-
ments, will be gladly accepted and filed
for future use, whenever the time arrives
to make the information eiTectivc.

The opinion of your committee is di-
vided as to the advisability of api)earing
before the Inter-State Commerce Com-
mission, against express companies, pome
contending that inasmuch as concessions
have been made in favor of flowering
plants and generally satisfactory service
has been rendered, it would not bo ad-
visable to make ourselves too prominent
in the matter. My own opinion is that
we should have the. evidence to make a
good case before we carry a grievance
to the commission, and that in all cases
it might be well first to endeavor to
rectify the matter complained of by ap-
plication to the companies themselves.

WASHINGTON REPRESENTATIVE.

[Report of Wm. P. Gude, permanent Washing-
ton representative of the S. A. F., presented at
Baltimore.]

I appeared before the committee on
postoffice and post roads of the House
of Kepresentatives of the United
States, at its meeting June 14, 1911, in
favor of a parcels post and lower postal
rates.

My address was along lines essential-
ly needed by the florists and seedsmen
and was in favor of a flat rate. To
make this clear to some few members,
who have not made a detailed study
of the matter, a flat rate is one rate
from any given point to all other
points, so that we can ship our product
to any point for one flat postage rate.

Some bills are now under considera-
tion for a zone system, say twenty-five,
fifty, seventy-five or 100 miles or more,
where the postage would be according

to distance, and have much in their
favor, for anything that will lower the
cost is good.

The national granges favor the flat
rate, while the jobbing and commercial
elements favor the zone system.

In answer to the chairlnan's inquiry,
"In what way do you represent your
organization?" I stated that I was
appointed by the president of the or-
ganization and I told him that our
charter, which we hold from the United
States government, is signed by Presi-
dent McKinley. I stated, further, that
at our convention held three years ago,
a unanimous vote was passed in favor
of parcels post. The seedsmen and flo-
rists probably need a parcels post more
than anyone else, for the reason that
they need a service by which they can
send their goods at a rate they can
afford to pay. The chairman asked,
"You are here as a representative of
that great organization?" "Yes, sir."
' ' And to give their views as to parcels
post?" "Yes, sir." "Go ahead." I
said: "I am here to state that this
resolution has been passed, not by a
few members, but in an annual conven-
tion the matters were discussed fully
and three separate and distinct times
they have passed a unanimous resolu-
tion favoring the establishment of a
parcels post by the United States gov-
ernment similar to that which has been
passed in other countries." In speak-
ing of a rate we could afford to pay, I
stated it should be a happy medium
between the rate charged by the ex-
press company and the first-class post-
age rate now charged on flowers.

Nature of Florists' Shipments.

The great majority of our shipments
weigh more than four pounds, which we
are permitted to send on account of
the packing in some material sufficient-
ly strong to reach the purchaser in
proper condition; frequently the pack-
ing itself weighs more than the con-
tents.

The express rate on flowers is more
than that of ordinary merchandise. The
increase to the eleven-pound limit would
increase the florists' shipments four
times.

Our goods are shipped by first-class
postage because we believe they go
through more promptly, even though
they must be called for at the rural
offices. This is the best kind of busi-
ness for the United States government
to handle, being short hauls only, at
first-class postage rates.

In the south we are somewhat handi-
capped on many shipments by having
to wait twenty-three hours before flow-
ers leave by express. This condition,
we believe, would be altered by parcels
post. In a good many of the larger
cities of the south there is only one
express service a day. The south will
be helped materially if we can get
flowers and seeds by an eleven-pound
parcels post, well managed (as we man-
age all things well in the south when
we have the opportunity).

Now, gentlemen, speaking for the
Society of American Florists, an organ-
ization composed of men who are emi-
nent florists and horticulturists, as well
as seedsmen and nurserymen, and men
who do business largely to promote the
assthetic part of man and act as a lift-
ing power, if I may so put it, to hu-
manity, let me say: The most promi-
nent men in our line in all the large
cities are members of this organization,
and it comprises more than 1,000 mem-

bers. A great many are life members.
Let every florist speak to his repre-
sentative and senator and urge upon
them to work actively and promptly
for the parcels post measure.

Strange Discrimination.

Gentlemen, these facts are startling:
Within the United States the rate of
postage on fourth-class matter is 16
cents a pound, with a limit of four
pounds. The United States is party to a
treaty under which residents of twenty-
nine foreign countries may send fourth-
class matter through the United States
mails at 12 cents a pound, with a limit
of eleven pounds. In other words, a
man may send an eleven-pound package
from San Francisco, Cal., to Rome,
Italy, at 12 cents a pound, but if he
wishes to send the same articles to
New York he must divide them into
packages of not to exceed four pounds
each and pay 16 cents a pound. A
Japanese residing in New York can
send an eleven-pound package to his
friends in Tokio, Japan, over 5,000
miles, at 12 cents a pound, but an
American in New York can send only
a four-lpound package from New York
to Washington, less than 300 miles, and
must piay 16 cents a pound.

This is all, gentlemen. I thank you
very much and I urge upon you the
adoption of the plan proposed of a
direct appeal to individual congress-
men, and I ask you to indorse the fol-
lowing bill, and that copies of it be sent
by our secretary to the House of Rep-
resentatives and the Senate of the
United- States:

"Fixing the rate of postage to be
charged for transmission of mail within
the United States or its possessions.
Be it enacted, That from and after the
passage of this act no higher postage
rate shall be charged for transmission
of mail entirely within the United
States, or its possessions, than is
charged for transmission of mail partly
within and partly without the United
States or its possessions. The postmas-
ter-general is hereby authorized and re-
quired to establish and enforce rules
and regulations which will give the peo-
ple of the United States rights and
privileges in the use of the United
States mails as liberal as the rights and
privileges the United States accords to
the people of the most favored nation. ' '

RAII£OAD GARDENERS MEET.

Enthusiasm was the keynote of the
fifth annual convention of the Railway
Gardening Association, held at the Kai-
serhof hotel, Chicago, August 15 to 18,
.1911. Out of a total active member-
ship of fifty-two, there responded to the
call forty-two workers for the good of
the cause. This was a remarkable show-
ing, considering that railroads from
coast to coast were represented.

This association was organized Sep-
tember 21, 1907, with only seventeen
members, and was the result of much
untiring effort and correspondence on
the part of George B. Moulder, chief
gardener of the Illinois Central rail-
road, who conceived the idea.

The following interesting program
was closely followed for the Chicago
meeting, and it was felt by all present
to have developed many ideas that will
prove valuable in the future work of
the association and its individual mem-
bers:

interest to anyone engaged in railroad
gardening.

CANADIAN FLORISTS MEET.

Officers Elected.

At the fourteenth annual convention
of the Canadian Horticultural Associa-
tion, held at Ottawa, Ont., August 9 to
11, it was decided to hold the 191?
meeting at Montreal, and the following
officers were chosen for the ensuing
year:

President — A. C. Wilshire, Montreal,
Que.

First vice-president — Walter Muston,
Davisville, Ont,

Second vice-president — H. B. Cowan,
Peterboro, Ont.

Secretary — Julius Luck, , Cote des
Neiges, Montreal.

Treasurer — C. H. Jazen, Berlin, Ont.

Executive committee, three years —
J. Graham, Ottawa; A, H. Ewing,
Woodstock; H. G. MuUiss, Brampton;

two years — A. Annandale, Toronto; F.
S. Cheesman, London; E. J/ Mepsted,
Ottawa; one year — F. McKenna, Ber-
lin; William Downing, Berlin; R. H.
Ellis, Leamington.

President's Address.

Mayor Hopewell, of Ottawa, started
the ball rolling with an address of wel-
come, to which T. W. Duggan, of
Brampton, fittingly replied.

President J. Connon, of Hamilton, in
his address during the opening session,
urged the need of a parcels post and
suggested that the question of reci-
procity be discussed solely with refer-
ence to the benefits this trade would
derive therefrom. He advocated the in-
auguration of a department for com-
mercial floriculture at the government
experimental farm, and said that to
hold the interest of all factions at the
annual conventions the retailers, pri-
vate gardeners and growers should have
separate meetings for the discussion of
matters pertaining to their particular
branch of the trade.

The secretary's report was adopted
as read and A. H. Ewing, of Wood-
stock, presented an able paper on
"What Inducement Does the Future
of Horticulture Hold Out for Young
Ment"

There was a red-hot discussion and
many speeches on the reciprocity ques-
tion and it was finally decided that the
list of florists' stock and supplies as
drawn up by the tariff committee
about covered the requirements of the
trade in this country.

Trade Ezbibit.

Judges E. Hayward, Montreal; H. G.
Dillemuth, Toronto, and J. Milford,
Sherbrooke, reported the trade exhibits
as follows:

Scrims', Ottawa; especially fine ex-
hibit of cyclamen in 6-inch pots.

Taylor & Scott, Montreal; extras qual-
ity cut sweet peas.

Slack Bros., Waterloo; sweet peas.

Experimental farm, Ottawa; fine
show of cannas.

Graham Bros., Ottawa; well grown
lot of ferns.

Gammage & Sons, London, Ont.; espe-
cially fine exhibit of palms, ferns and
decorative plants; certificate of merit.

W. A. Manda, South Orange, N. J.;
splendid exhibit of greenhouse and
store plants.

R. H. Ellis, Leamington, Ont.; splen-
did lot of nephrolepis.

S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadel-
phia, Pa.; samples of ribbon and flor-
ists' supplies.

prosperous gardener and florist of
North Beverly, has left his business in
charge of his son-in-law and is mak-
ing an extended tour of the western
states. In Wyoming he visited a
brother, Peter, whom he had not seen
for more than forty years. After a
brief stay with his brother, he went to
Salt Lake City, from which point he
expected to make a side trip to the
Yellowstone Park, thence to San Fran-
cisco, Seattle, Portland, Vancouver and
then homeward by way of Canada.

OBITUAEY.

John Bimle.

John Birnie, of West Hoboken, N. J.,
one of the most widely known of the
growers for the New York market, died
without warning Tuesday, August 15,
in the Hotel Belvedere, at Baltimore.
Mr. Birnie had gone, with Mrs. Birnie
and many friends in the New York
Florists' Club, to attend the S. A. F.
convention. After the first business
session he stood with several of the
leading members for a group photo-
graph for one of the Baltimore daily
papers, after which he walked back to
the hotel and entered the dining-room,
where he was seized with sudden ill-
ness. He was assisted to his room,
where he died in a few minutes. The
coroner's inquest gave a verdict of
death by apoplexy. In the evening a
special meeting of the New York Flo-
rists' Club was held, at which arrange-
ments were made for escorting the
body home and a committee consisting
of C. H. Totty, H. A. Bunyard and
W. F. Sheridan appointed to draft reso-
lutions to be spread on the minutes of
the next regular meeting.

A native of Scotland, who came in
youth to New York, John Birnie was
one of the oldest active florists in his
section or, indeed, in the country. His
start in the trade was almost coincident
with the beginning of the real develop-
ment of commercial floriculture in the
vicinity of New York. He was one of
the first men to grow the carnation for
cut flowers and his reminiscences of
those early days always were full of in-
terest to the younger generation. Of
late years he had specialized on gerani-
ums. He was of progressive disposition
and kept fully abreast of the times.
For years he had been a regular at-
tendant at the S. A. F. conventions and
an active participant in the business
meetings. He also had attended the
Carnation Society's meetings with reg-
ularity. The recent hot weather had
told on him severely, but he was of that
sturdy constitution that refused to give
up. At luncheon with friends on the
day of his death he had complained of
feeling unwell, but had expressed the
belief that he would soon be all right
again, "but when I break down, I'll
go all at once," he said as the group
left the table.

Mr. Birnie was 58 years of age. Be-
sides the widow, there are left two
sons and three daughters, one of the
sons being engaged in the plant-grow-
ing business with his father.

James Joseph O'LeaiT'

James Joseph O'Leary, son of Mr.
and Mrs. James F. O'Leary, of Lowell,
Mass., died August 5 at the home of
his parents, 40 Fanning street, at the
age of 21 years. He had been ill for
several weeks. He had resided in
Lowell since early childhood. He was
in the florists' business with his father
and was a former member of Company
G, Sixth regiment, M. V. M. He is
survived by his parents and one sister,
Miss Mary G. O 'Leary.

Baraboo, Wis. — E. T. Eoss, who has
been identified with the florists* trade
for the last twelve years, is now start-
ing in business for himself here, with a
greenhouse 20x100, and expects to build
more next spring. He will grow potted
plants of all kinds and carnations for
cut flowers.

GLOVE COVE, N. Y.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Nassau County Horticultural Society was
held in Pembroke hall, August 9. Presi-
dent Trepess occupied the chair and
there was a good attendance.

Messrs. Ashworth, McNenery and
Walker were appointed as judges and
their decisions were as follows:

Society prizes — Twelve asters, any
color, first, George Barton; twelve
gladioli, first, Paul Beul; six lilies, first,
George Barton.

J. Ingram, special prize for four vases
of asters, first, George Barton. A cer-
tificate of culture was awarded to
James Emslie for a dish of peaches.

The outing committee reported all ar-
rangements satisfactory for the annual
outing to be held at Karatsonyi's ho-
tel, Glenwood, August 17.

A letter was read from the Stumpp &
Walter Co., offering a silver cup for the
fall exhibition; also from Hitchings &
Co., offering a prize for the same exhibi-
tion.

Mr. HoUoway, of the executive com-
mittee, read the schedule prepared for
the dahlia show, to be held September
27, and it was adopted.

The society has just received a pre-
sentation of 500 vases. The donors were
Mrs. C. L. Bucknall, Mrs. Wm. Beard,
Mrs. Arthur Gibbs, Mrs. H. L. Pratt and
Mrs. F. S. Smithers.

A list of the special prizes and their
donors was readj also the preliminary
schedule for the fall show.

The Rev. J. W. Gammick was unani-
mously elected a life member of the
society, exempt from dues.

The society's prizes in September will
be for the best muskmelon, twelve pota-
toes and six ears of corn. E. H. W.

PITTSBUBa'S PICNIO.

The two illustrations shown herewith
were reproduced from photographs tak-

notes of the outing will be found in

BOSTON.

The Market.

Outdoor flowers continue to dominate
the markets, asters, gladioli and sweet
peas being the three leaders at present.
Business has been somewhat quiet since
the last report. Good quality flowers,
of course, clean up well, but a great
many seen are of the inferior grades
and are either sold cheaply or thrown
into the rubbish barrels. Asters are
abundant, but only a small proportion
are of first grade quality. A great many
are short-stemmed, show open centers,
or are in other ways deformed. Prices
are much lower. Gladioli are in heavy
oversupply. The quality of the home-
grown stock is excellent, but large
quantities of New York state flowers
are being dumped here at an average of
$5 per thousand. These are short-
stemmed and of inferior quality, but
they hurt the sale of the better grades.
Sweet peas are not equal to previous
years in quality, but are holding out
well and seem to be rather more abun-
dant.

Eoses are in good supply. Many are
small, puny flowers and difficult to
move. Beauties sell well, also Carnot,
Prince de Bulgarie and Maryland, the

Killarneys are temporarily on a back
Beat; so are Eichmonds. A few new
crop carnations are in, but they are
short-stemmed yet. Flowers of the old
crop are not worth sending in while
there is an abundant supply of asters.
There is a fair call for lilies; both spe-
ciosum and longiflorum are good. Val-
ley sells fairly well. Callas are over for
the season. A few dahlias and Golden
Glow chrysanthemums are to hand.
There is the usual supply of gypsophila,
candytuft, cornflowers, snapdragons and
other outdoor flowers. Cattleyas are
in moderate supply and there are suflS-
cient gardenias to go around. Sprengeri,
plumosus and adiantum are not selling
well. There is a fair sale for cut
nephrolepis fronds.

Various Notes.

The Boston delegation to the Balti-
more convention left under pleasant
climatic auspices on the evening of Au-
gust 131 Among those in the party were
W. A. Hastings, E. Allan Peirce, Will-
iam Sim, F. N. Sanborn, W. E. Cahill,
F. E. CoUamoin, J. McCormick, H. T.
Meade, C. H. Barrett, J. K. M. L. Far-
quhar, Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Bartsch, Eber
Holmes, Joseph Fuller, Thomas Stock,
Thomas Eoland and two sons, R. C.
Bridgham and S. J. Goddard. Others
joined the party at Fall Kiver, Newport
and New York. P. Welch and W. J.
Stewart left August 14. W. A. Hast-
ings, the state vice-president, worked
indefatigably to secure a good repre-
sentation and deserves much credit.
The idea of going south in August
seemed to be too much for many to
overcome, however.

A. A. Pembroke, of Beverly, has just
sown a house 36x400 with sweet peas.
He finds Burpee's reselected Earliest of
All and Earliest White excellent varie-
ties. He plants 25,000 carnations; one
house of these is 38x330 and another
36x220. He will grow vegetables also
this season, on a large scale. Seven
houses, each 36x220, will be filled with
lettuce and followed with cucumbers.
Mr. Pembroke, who is a recent addition
to the ranks of our commercialists, will
this season have 90,000 feet of glass
planted. The quality of the produc-

A. E. E. Koch, of Nobscot, purchased
the five greenhouses at the auction sale
of Lemoine Bros., August 9. The field-
grown carnations were all secured by
Mr. Powers, of Cochituate, who will
again start in commercial floriculture.

The E. Sutermeister estate, of Read-
ville, is handling a magnificent lot of
Gladiolus America, the best seen here
this season. Augusta is equally good.
They are also cutting quantities of
scented geranium and lemon-scented
verbena shoots, which are popular.

A. F. Scott, of the Willow Hill Green-
houses, West Roxbury, markets 1,000
or more of the lavender colored Cen-
taurea moschata daily, which sells read-
ily at Thomas Pegler's stand at the
Boston Flower Exchange.

Both the wholesale flower markets
have started house-cleaning, prepara-
tory to the annual auction sales of

stalls, which occur in each case Sep-
tember 2.

W, A. Eiggs, of Auburndale, is one
of the few growers producing flrst-dass
antirrhinums through the hot months.
Mr. Eiggs is busy on additions and im-
provements to his greenhouses.

Among growers who are already send-
ing in nice new crop carnations are
B. P. Winch, of Framingham; James
Tulis, South Sudbury; William R.
Nicholson, Framingham, and A. A.
Pembroke, Beverly.

A. 8. Parker, who is a noted aster
grower, cultivating them by the acre, is
sending in some excellent shipments to
the Boston Flower Exchange. In spite
of the late drought, his crop is good.

W. R. Findlay has an excellent and
attractive flower store on Federal street,
near the South station, which many of
the thousands of daily passers-by pat-
ronize. He keeps a first-class assort-
ment of seasonable flowers on hand.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club
will hold a field day August 26 at the
Cedar Acre gladiolus fields of B. Ham-
mond Tracy, in Wenham. The party
will journey via electrics. The ride,
occupying one and three-fourths hours,
is an enjoyable one.

Walter H. Knapp, of Newtonville;
W. J. Cain, of Newton, and B. P. Winch,
of Framingham, are all sending in fine
lots of cosmos to the Boston Flower Ex-
change.

N. H. Silverman, the up-to-date Win-
ter street florist, is making gladioli a
leading feature in his window displays
this week. He carries cattleyas and all
other choice flowers in season.

Matthew F. Roane, the popular sales-
man for Peirce Bros., has been enjoying
his vacation at York Beach, Me.

Johnson Knight, the courteous man-
ager at the Boston Cooperative Flower
Market, is spending part of his vCell-
earned vacation at Lake View, Lowell.

The many friends of J. M. Cohen, the
popular salesman at the Boston Co-
operative Flower Market, were sorry to
hear that his summer cottage at Win-
throp had been broken into in the
early hours of August 10 and cash and
valuables to the amount of $l,ljJO
stolen. ' No trace of the burglar* ha.»

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

This issue of The Eeview contains 140
pages, including the cover, and is the
largest Convention Special Number ever
published in the horticultural trade.

E. Allan Peirce, treasurer of the
National Flower Show, sent out checks
August 9 for ten per cent dividend to
guarantors. The S. A. F. and the guar-
antors divided the profit.

The smallest edition of The Beview
during the present summer has consisted
of eighty-four pages, and the smallest
number of copies printed of any edition
has been 10,000. The steady growth of
the paper, in size and circulation, is par-
allel to the expansion in the horticul-
tural trades; anything less than The Ee-
view is doing would be a failure to keep
in step with the times.

The W. E, Kirchhofl Co., of Pem-
broke, N. Y., has sent to The Beview
some splendid spikes of Gladiolus Prince-
pine, for which it is offering a gold
medal for the best amateur display at
the meeting of the American Gladiolus
Society. The Kirchhoflfs, who are gla-
diolus specialists, are the originators
and have this to say of it: "This vari-
ety is quite popular with all who have
the pleasure of seeing it, and more so
yet with those who grow it, as it is a
thrifty grower, keeps its color and is
an excellent shipper,"

BETAIL TO WHOLESALE,

The success with which florists doing
a local business have moved surpluses
at wholesale through advertising in The
Eeview has resulted in a number chang-
ing from local retail to the wholesale
branch of the business. The tendency is
shown in the following letter:

We have sold all our carnation plants that
are large enough at present, but will have
more in two or three weeks. We are very
much pleased with The Review and regret we
are not able to fill orders for 100,000 plants,
as your paper would bring fine returns. Our
greenhouses would be equal to a gold mine If
you could develop it for us. — C. B. Flick Floral
Co., Fort Wayne, Ind., July 29, 1911.

Sydney B. Webtheimeb was at the
convention, fresh from Switzerland, hav-
ing landed at New York August 14.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Business was decidedly quiet last week
and it shows little if any improvement
this week. Convention week is prover-
bially a dull one in the wholesale mar-
ket, but this year the convention is so
far away and there are so few Chicago
people there that the convention is a
negligible factor. The aviation meet is
doing something to increase the local de-
mand for flowers, but both local and ship-
ping calls are decidedly light. There is
too much stock in the market; clean sales
are impossible.

Asters and gladioli are the dominat-
ing flowers. Since we have had some good
rains the quality of the asters, injured
first by dry weather and then by wet, is
much improved. Also, quite a few grow-
ers have eitcellent asters under glass. It
is well within conservative statement to
say that the Chicago market never had
better asters thaii have been coming in
recently and its supply never has been
larger. There are all sizes, types and
colors, but hardly any of them have rea-
lized prices that compare with the true
value of such stock. Gladioli also have
improved in quality and, although the
supply has been large for some time, it
has been especially heavy in the last few
days, so that the finest varieties in per-
fect condition have realized no more
money than the poorest glads realized at
this time in July,

There is an abundance of roses and
the quality is first-class for the season.
Beauties continue in good supply and
Killarney, both white and pink, and My
Maryland are equal to all requirements,
with something to spare. Last week rose
prices were most unstable, the buyer who
was willing to clean up a quantity being
able to dictate his own terms. This week
there is little change, especially on the
short stock, which is in even heavier sup-
ply than the longer grades, for most of
the roses now being cut are from young
plants.

Carnations are in light supply, but are
not missed. A few are being cut from
old plants, a few short ones from new
plants, and a few from the field.

Lilies have occupied a conspicuous
place with some of the wholesale houses,
there »now being a number of growers
shipping large quantities, giganteum,
auratum and rubrum. Prices have had to
be moderate to move the goods. Few or-
chids are arriving and not many sweet
peas are seen, the best of these selling
quite well. The valley growers are going
easy, anticipating a better market later
on and having, apparently, no oversup-
ply of pips.

Such garden flowers as rudbeckia have
sold only at cheap prices, for window dec-
orations, etc.

There is an abundance of greens, with
little demand.

Various Notes.

Fred Stielow has his new place at Niles
Center completed, all except the heating
apparatus, and planted with 35,000 roses.
His son is in charge here. The old range
also is replanted. It contains 35,000
carnation plants.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

WE HAVE SPLENDID

BEAUTIES

Plenty of the popular medium lengths

Our present cut of Beauties is largely from young plants and runs largely to medium stems, the
lengths that are in greatest demand. This is excellent stock, grown by the grower whose summer crop
has given such perfect satisfaction to our customers in other years. Those who are not ordering their
Beauties of us should try this stock without delay.

KILLARNEYS

Pink or White— Large Supply

Buyers who have not tried our Killarneys should do so at once, for
Chicago never has seen anything like so large a supply or such fine quality.
We are furnishing buyers all the Killarneys they need, in any length up to
18 to 24 inches. The color of the pink is something wonderful— better than
it is in winter. These roses are business-builders. Once tried, you will use
no others.

SSTERS

The Late and Fancy Varieties

While we have had a great many Asters, and very fine Asters, we never
have handled the like of these. They are the finest Asters that ever have
come on this market. All colors, all sizes. Try some of them. You surely
will buy as long as they last.

GLADIOLI

Can supply in thousand lots.

The quality never was better. Mrs. Francis King (red), America (light
pink), and Augusta (white). These are the three buyers want in quan-
tity, and we have them. Note the low prices. You can use large lots
at these figures.

Lilies

We can furnish Easter Lilies,
Rubrums or Auratums, beat qual-
ity, in any quantity.

Valley

Order Valley of us and you will
draw on a never-failing source of
supply.

HEADQUARTERS FOR ALL GREENS

Here you get the best Fancy Ferns, all the Smilax and Asparagus
strings you want, Sprengeri and Plumosus bunches, Mexican Ivy and
Galax. No order too large for our facilities and no order too small to
receive our careful attention.

Your Fall Trade

will soon begin in earnest, and unless you have your supplies ready in advance you may
find that you are badly in need of some article that isn't in stock. Look to your supply
of baskets. Fs it complete? Aren't there a few styles missing that you would like to
have? Your plants and cut flowers may be far 8Ui>erior to any others in town, but
unless they are set ofi" with the proper accessories the sales are apt to be unsatisfactory.
It's really surijrising what a big difference an artistic basket makes. Try it this year —

we have baskets in all sizes, brought direct from
our own factories in Germany, and can supi)ly

direct from actual plans on file in the
office. In place of making drawings for
the various details, the actual pieces were
set up in the factory and photographed.
This presents the matter more clearly
than drawings could. Although the book
is for free distribution to any one who
asks, it is said the books cost about $1
each to get out.

H. Van Gelder, manager of the Percy
Jones business, experienced a relapse
the latter part of last week and again
is confined to his home.

James Hancock, right-hand man for
Frank Oechslin, is vacationing in
Michigan.

L. Baumann & Co. say that immor-
telles are sky-high in price, owing to
the crop failure. They are now try-
ing to find a good substitute and be-
lieve their quest will be successful soon.

Pressure of business at the last
minute prevented Phil Foley from join-
ing the Chicago-to-Baltimore party. In
his place he sent Mr. Cassidy, who is
quite well known to the eastern grow-
ers.

C. H, Fisk and wife are on the Pa-
ific coast, going by way of Los Angeles

d planning to return over the northern
route about September 1.

H, N. Bruns has been enjoying his
week ends at Lake Marie, near Antioch,
HI., where his family is summering. Mr.
Bruns makes the trip by auto and con-
siders it the only satisfactory way to
travel.

Various Notes.

Practically all the florists in Wash-
ington dropped their various tasks Au-
gust 15 and took a special car to Balti-
more, wearing badges to designate their
affiliation with the business. They num-
bered some eighty or more. At Balti-
more the program was for the local
florists to meet and escort them to the
convention hall.

It is hoped by the Washingtonians
that they will have the privilege of
entertaining a large number of the visi-
tors to Baltimore. They will try to
make such visitors feel that this is a

at White Sulphur Springs. This is an-
other precedent which the florists to a
man will approve of. Although the
florists are not complaining, it is noted
that many of them find time to go to
the ball games, and the secretary of
the Washington Florists ' Club, O. A. C.
Oehmler, has taken a month's vacation
and with his family is enjoying the
salty breezes at his cottage, Duquesne,
at Colonial Beach.

The single-stem aster is proving pop-
ular and, as a substitute for the chry-
santhemiun, is seemingly a great suc-
cess. Stock is decidedly improving and
the florists look more cheerful when
they receive orders, for it is less diffi-
cult to fill them to the satisfaction of
their customers.

Hydrangeas are beginning to make
their appearance plentifully. The first
cuttings were welcomed as a desirable
addition to the rather scanty stock.
They are especially useful in funeral
work.

The Florists' Exchange is receiving
the first new carnations. They come
from Maryland and are meeting with
a ready sale. Asters are extra fine.
They are bringing up to $2 a hundred
for the longest stems. Dahlias are not
showing up well as yet, but they will
be in better form every week up to
September, when they should be in full
perfection. They are quoted at 75
cents to $1. Boses are in good supply.
Kaiserins and Camots are fine and are
selling at $3 to $5. Killarneys and

PHILADELPHIA.

The Bisiug Eastern Market.

Business is flatter than at any time
this summer. While the supply of good
flowers is light, there is not enough
demand to take them every day. Some
days they go; some days they go not.
The poor flowers are more numerous
and more difficult to market. The as-
ter crop has been damaged by rain and
sun. Pew good asters are arriving.
Some fine branching ones brought $5
per hundred — an extraordinary price.
Mrs. Francis King, the finest gladiolus
today, has brought $8 per hundred. The
ordinary garden sorts of asters and
gladioli can be had at low prices. Cat-
tleyas are almost out of the market.
A hail storm in the sweet pea district
cut off the supply August 10, 11 and
12. The supply gradually increased on
the following days. Eastern Beauties
are the best roses. Easter lilies are
the best value in white decorative
flowers. A few dahlias have come.

Norwood.

It is probable that Robert Craig has
more friends among the florists than
almost any other man in Philadelphia.
I do not mean by this merely more
acquaintances or business friends, but
more real friends — friends who would
go to any length for him. The reason
is plain; the kindnesses that Robert
Craig has shown to those who needed
his help are legion — kindnesses that
no one but he could have rendered,
because of his large knowledge of mat-
ters floricultural and his broad view.
For this reason there will be widespread
interest in just what he and his sons
arc doing at Norwood, their new place
in Delaware county. It is generally
known that the march of building im-
provements will soon reach Forty-ninth
and Market streets, so that Norwood
is destined to become the future home

of the Robert Craig Co.; until the
entire place is centered there, Norwood
is being used as a trial ground under
glass. Specialties are being grown in
a way they have never before been
grown in this country, probably in the
world.

There are now five houses at Nor-
wood. Four of them, the original plant,
are 28x300 each; the fifth, finished last
March, is 21x300. To these will be
added, in a few weeks, four houses,
each 44x150.

The features of Norwood today are
the crotons, the dracaenas and the ferns.
The crotons are- the most wonderful
sight of their kind I have ever seen.
There are said to be 30,000 of them,
highly colored, in large and medium
sizes. They cover a variety in form,
shape and color that must suggest un-
known possibilities to the floral artists.

Some fifteen of the standard varieties
are grown in quantity, so that 500 or
more of each of these named varieties
forms a stock not easily exhausted.
Then there are the seedlings, the result
of an accidental check to some stock
plants at Norwood, when the heat was
late the first fall, an accident of which
William P. Craig promptly took advan-
tage; the little camel 's-hair fertilizing
brush went from flower to flower, and
today there are those thousand and one
seedlings, so delightful to the heart of
every true lover of crotons. It is ab-
sorbingly interesting to note their dif-
ferences, their habits, their characteris-
tics, to argue over their strong and
weak points and to select the most
beautiful, only to change once or twice
before making that selection final.

Turning reluctantly from the seed-
lings back to the standard varieties.

Uention The Beriew when you write.

Le Compte, with its distinct markings
of green and gold, appears in quantity
to me unknown; Edwin Lonsdale, with
its magnificent coloring of every shade
of red, commands deep admiration.

The dracsenas have given great re-
sults this season, 7,000 from one propa-
gation, all safely potted now, with tri-
fling loss. Terminalis is the principal
variety, with Lord Wolseley leader in
the second division, followed by Man-
daiana and some more, whose names es-
caped me. The success of the dracaena
propagation has been remarkable, due,
William P. Craig informed me, to in-
tense culture of fresh canes. Dracaenas
in older stages were a fine sight, an im-
mense number in 4-inch and 5-inch,
ranging from eighteen inches high in
the former to twenty-seven inches in
the latter, above the pot, each size as
•even as a well kept lawn. Color, the
final goal in perfect dracaena culture,
must not be reached until growth is
complete, for color is arrested growth.

The ferns come next in importance
among the Norwood specialties. There
are two immense blocks, one of Nephro-
lepis Scottii, the other of Nephrolepis
elegantissima improved, representing
the plain and crested tjrpes. Many of
these ferns are growing in the standard
medium size, 6-inch, giving promise of
fine stock in no time. Most interesting
■was the propagating bench of each

from which runners have been secured,
now full to overflowing, suggestive of
lots and lots of work in dividing and
potting and growing.

There are other varieties of ferns,
specimens of Grandpapa Boston among
them. The list under glass is complet-
ed by a thrifty block of Areca
lutescens that have grown and are
growing with a vigor and rapidity con-
vincing of the advantages of life at
Norwood.

Outside are rows of American Pillar
rose, showing magnificent growth; Ju-
niata, the new Walsh seedling, and
many more that have earned the grow-
ers' confidence.

There can be no doubt that the plants
in the houses at Norwood prove that
a higher level has been reached in cul-
tivation. Robert A. Craig says this is
due to improved conditions; modesty
prevents his adding that this is also
due to improved methods. Those who
control the destinies of the place have
courage and skill that are reflected in
their work.

Those who have known William P.
Craig as an irresistible precentor of
choice products will be interested to
know that he is quite as much in his
element at Norwood, dressed in regu-
lation greenhouse costume of a sleeve-
less garment that may be dignified by
the name of Jersey, whose merit con-

THE MICHEIil. OUTING.

The Henry F. Michell Co. gave its
employees and friends the first annual
outing and athletic meet on Saturday,
August 12. Four special trolley cars .
were engaged to convey the party to
the Evergreen Gardens, at Andalusia,
Pa., where the outing was held. Upon
arriving at the gardens the official
photographs were taken, after which
the entire party of over 200 marched
to the flag pole to take part in the
flag-raising, and with uncovered heads
sang the national anthem.

Athletic contests were next on the
list. Young and old men and the '
women took part. Much amusement,,
was afforded by the various races and"*
other contests. 'f

To end the sports, a baseball game
was played by the representative ■
teams of Henry A. Dreer and Henry F.
Michell. This was the most exciting
part of the day's program. The game
was nip and tuck up to the seventh
inning, when the Michell boys got in
their usual batting rally and scored
nine runs in one inning, making it a
walk-over of the easiest kind, the flnpJ
score being 19 to 2. The score by in-
nings was as follows:

12345678 9— R H B

Dreer OOOIOIOOO— 2 82

Michell 10 10129B 0—19 21 1

The umpires were Messrs. Both and
Bettz.

After the game refreshments were
served on the lawn, and, needless to
say, everybody did justice to the
"eats." Then, to wind up the festivi-
ties, the young people enjoyed them-
selves at the dance, which was given
in the spacious new building which
will be used as a storehouse this fall.
At eight o'clock the outing was
brought to a close and all went home
extremely tired and well satisfied that
they had had the time of their lives.

The Michell ball team has one open
date this seat on, which is September 4,
and would like to arrange a game with
one of the out-of-town seed houses,
preferably in New York or Boston, for
the inter-city seed championship.

MICHELL'S LILIES

;■?■'- '

,-"!■ -'-i-^'7'::;' •>:,■<■■'

I^^IERHAPS in no other branch of our business have we been
I^M quite so successful in establishing an invincible reputation
IMI for "DISTINCTIVE" QUALITY goods. MICHELL'S LILIES
are sought by growers from the Atlantic to the Pacific, intuitively
and without solicitation, because no argument in the world could

convince them that there are
better ones in the market. The
kind of publicity that we are
aiming for, and which we es-
teem most highly, is not the one
gained through paid advertising
space in journals, but by sup-
plying "REAL QUALITY" to
reach the good will of the grower
and incidentally his recommen-
dation for our lilies.

LILIUM HARRISII

Our stock of these lilies was received only a few
days ago and is without doubt superb in appear-
ance. Not for ten years back have we seen such
splendid-looking bulbs. A limited quantity of
each size to spare. Sizes : 5 to 7, 6 to 7, 7 to 9
and 9 to 11. Write for special quotation today
and state quantity desired.

ROCHESTER.

The Market.

Hot weather prevailed during the
greater part of the first half of Au-
gust and there was rain enough to keep
vegetation moist, so flowers of all kinds
are at their best at present, with 'the
exception of roses, which are always
aflfected by the heat. Beauties seem
to have been put out of commission
entirely, for they are scarce here and
bring a big price. My Maryland and
Radiance stand up best under the try-
ing weather; however, Radiance is the
better of the two, for it remains in bud
longer and Maryland is wide open
and falling in a few hours. Kaiserin
Augusta is exceptionally fine at pres-
ent and is our only white or cream rose
to be depended upon. Summer trade
has gone wild over the Ward rose, for
the summer crop consists of small buds
of good color and fairly good stem. The
size and color of the rose is so unusual
that it sells much better than Killar-
ney or Richmond. Then, too, it is
a comparatively new rose. Bride and
Bridesmaid are defunct. Killarney and
Richmond are i>oor, indeed.

Gladioli are at the height of perfec-
tion in pink, red, salmon, lavender and
white, but the pure white is superbly
handsome and commands a big price.
The superabundant supply of asters re-
minds us that fall is approaching and
that the fall flowers have come to stay
for a few months at least, for here in
Rochester asters usually last from Au-
gust 1 to December 1, and are of un-
failing resourcefulness in design work,

etc. Sweet peas have been unsatis-
factory all through the summer and
now they are getting scarcer right
along and poorer in quality. There
are no carnations to speak of. Orchids
Tare worse than scarce and we are
obliged to send to New York or Phila-
delphia for them. Needless to say,
they are expensive. Valley is still
coming into the market in fine shape
and the wholesale price is $4 per hun-
dred. Lilium speciosum is plentiful
and is used a great deal in funeral
■work.

New arrivals in garden flowers are
euphorbia, statice and boltonia, also
Hydrangea paniculata, which is effec-
tive where long-stemmed flowers are
desired. All garden flowers are still
in great demand. As fall comes on
there is a demand for Boston ferns
and palms and local florists are selling
quite a number of them. Gloxinias
are better than ever and are having
quite a run. Trade has been much bet-
ter than it was at the previous writing,
but the greater part of the work was
on funeral orders, with a few weddings
of little consequence.

Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri
are plentiful, also adiantum.

Zaneaville, O., was received by .T. B.
Keller's Sons last week.

John VoUmer begins a two weeks'
vacation this week.

H. E. Wilson has had the interior of
his store made fresh and clean by sev-
eral coats of white enamel. He has
put in new cases and shelving and also
aew plant racks. Mr. Wilson recently
put in a fine registering clock for the
clerks, in order to get a more accurate
account of their arrival and departure.
Several days last week they were des-
perately busy with funeral work, hav-
ing to work until late at night.

R. E. Hall, of Keed & Keller, New
York City, called on Rochester trade
last week.

Jacob Thomann is growing some
splendid pure white gladioli of great
beauty, which are bringing him a big
price.

The cascade with rocks, gravel walks,
ponds with goldfish in them, miniature
canoes and dwarf shrubbery in Kel-
ler's window on North Clinton ave-
Que is drawing crowds, who stand and
stare at the cool and refreshing scene
'luring the hot weather.

Several houses are finished, with the
exception of putting in. the benches, at
the Lamberton memorial conservatory.
The entire conservatory will be com-
pleted in about three weeks.

George J. Keller is in Canada on a
fishing trip.

Miss Margaret Howe left August 14
for a two weeks' stay in the Adiron-
dacks.

After much planning and hustling to
get a large delegation for the florists'
■•-onvention in Baltimore, there are but
three men in attendance, George B.
Hart, Al Vick and W. I,. Keller— not a
specially good showing for the Flower
City.

The latter part of August J. M.
Keller will go to the Muskoka Lakes,
<7anada, to fish.

We have been expecting a florists'
oicnic this summer, but no plans have
been made as yet. Perhaps it will ma-
terialize after the convention.

AuousT 17, 1911.

BOSTON NOTES.

[Concluded from page 43.]

been secured. Mr. Cohen has been a
flower salesman for twenty-two years
and has the respect of everyone who
knows him.

B. J. McGinty, for William E. Morris,
of Wellesley Hills, is handling some ex-
cellent Killarney, White Killarney and
Richmond roses. Mr. Morris has this
season added a large new house for
roses, which he grows well.

At Galvin's Tremont street store, Au-
gust 12, one window contained an at-
tractively arranged tank of aquatics,
with large vases of splendid gladioli
interspersed and with foliage plants as
a background. Another window was de-
voted to palms, ferns and miscellaneous
foliage plants.

William H. Carr, at the Boston
Flower Exchange, is handling asters in
quantity from W. F. Eaton, of Haver-
hilj, also good Asparagus Sprengeri. Mr.
Carr has just returned from a pleasant
trip to Montreal, where he thinks New
England growers would find an excel-
lent market for much of their produce.

Henry M. Eobinson is enjoying a
hard earned vacation in Canada. No
members of the fitm were able to
attend the S. A. F. convention.

Crotons and gladioli made a good
window feature at Julius H. Zinn's, on
Park street, last week.

William Sim has thrown the tomatoes
out of several of his large houses, pre-
paratory to filling with sweet peas and
violets. His large acreage of sweet
corn brought excellent prices and is
being followed by a crop of string
beans.

J. J. Casey, of the Eosary, on Claren-
don street, will relocate on Boylston
street this fall, in an up-to-d'ate store.

At all the seed stores early bulbs
have been received in quantity. The
high price of timothy and other grass
seeds is considerably unsettling business
for fall seeding. Vacations have been
enjoyed by the various staffs and nearly
all are now back, ready for the fall
campaign.

John J. Fee, of Jamaica Plain, is now
one of the heaviest shippers of Lilium
longiflorum. Mann Bros., of Eandolph,
also have these, as well as auratnms
and speciosums, in quantity.

The J. A. Budlong & Sons Co., of Au-
buril, E. I., have large daily shipments
of Killarney, White Killarney, Eich-
mond and My Maryland roses at the
Boston Flower Exchange. The quality,
for August, is good. This firm has a
fine double white sport of Killarney,
which will be heard from later.

M. L. Tirrell, of Eandolph, is one of
the few growers who are able to pick
fine sweet peas with excellent stems
still.

William E. Nicholson reports cut-
worms as working some damage among
chrysanthemums under glass and, from
the unusual number in the soil still, ex-
pects some trouble from them this
winter.

Peter M. Miller spent a few days in
Lenox last week. This week he is en-
joying the ocean breezes at Bar Harbor,
Me. W. N. Craig.

Titusville, Pa. — Lee J. Eowe has
leased a building on West Spring street
and will open a downtown store there
about September 1, to be operated in
connection with his greenhouses in the
east end of town. He will build a
greenhouse at the rear of the store.

Murphysboro, 111. — Claude Wisely has
installed an irrigating system in his
greenhouses. He has also been putting
in new steam pipes and making other
improvements.

By William Scott

SECOND EDITION

THOROUGHLY REVISED AND
BROUGHT UP TO DATE

NO SCIENCE, BUT LOTS OE
PRACTICAL COMMON SENSE

"I have several times been consulted by those
who would make a beginning in the Florists'
business. In each case I have said that the first
step is to subscribe for a Trade Paper, and the
next to procure a copy of the Florists' Manual."
— J. A. Valentine, Pres. Park Floral Co., Den-
ver, Colo.

"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,
BufiEalo, N. Y.

No dry-as-dust botanical classifications, but
tells you just how to produce marketable plants
and cut flowers in the best and cheapest way.

1000 MAIL ORDERS FOR $1.50

It's easy— simply a question of using a device that connects the desire to buy with the cash, and
gets it. Our Coin Mailers go right to the spot and close cash sales where stamps or money orders
are not immediately available.

A prominent florist, who haa used our cards for three years, says : " Your Coin Mailers

MAKE EVERY CATALOGUE BRING AT LEAST ONE ORDER

and increase mail order sales surprisingly." A trial order will convince you that they are the most
important letter and catalogue enclosures you could possibly use.

Sweet peas undeniably are a light
crop, but Everybody will be able to get
some.

The first car of the 1911 crop of For-
mosa lily bulbs, via Yokohoma and Seat-
tle, reached Chicago August 11.

Howard M. Eakl, of Philadelphia, was
in Chicago Monday on his way home
from the Burpee Seed Farm, Lompoc,
Cal.

The La Provence, which arrived at
New York August 5, brought forty-five
baskets of French bulbs shipped via Hav-
re, consigned to O. G. Hempstead & Co.

Some of the French bulbs held up by
quarantine in Italy arrived at New York
August 10, only to meet a fresh embargo,
for the health authorities are keen on
the cholera scare.

To seedsmen ilie most interesting fea
ture of this week's S. A. F. convention
at Baltimore was the demonstration of
seed testing in the exhibition hall, by
J. Bolgiano & Son. It is said that
Bolgiano has the most complete equip-
ment for testing purity to be found in
the United States, outside the Depart-
ment of Agriculture.

HoUister is the mail address, the ranch
is really in the San Juan valley. Near-
by is the sleepy town where stands the
old mission of San Juan Bautista and the
fine old adobe residence built by General
Castro in the days when California was
a province of Mexico.

C. C. Morse & Co. are now established
on their great new seed farm in the San
Juan valley near Hollister, Cal. Here
they have 90O acres in one piece, as level
as a floor and having a frontage of two
miles on the county road. This is to be
the "home farm," and though opera-
tions were started only last September, a
large number of buildings have been com-
pleted, including oflSces, warehouses,
roomy and comfortable quarters for liie
large force of men employed, barns for
the hundred head of horses, blacksmith
shop, garage and a village of other
buildings, including a fine residence for
Superintendent Landrum. The harvest
of the seed crops promises to be a good
average, aside from sweet peas, which are
not up to the mark. An interesting
sight here is a block of 130 acres of rad-
ish, nearly all Long Scarlet. A few miles

away the firm has 450 acres more in the
various staples, all in good shape. They
still hold 650 acres at Gilroy, but that
point is no longer headquarters.

The Kimberlin Seed Co., with head-
quarters at Santa Clara, Cal., has a total
of 650 acjes in seed crops this season, of
which 470 acres are near MiiT>itas. The
larger portion of this acreage is in on-
ions and it presents a fine appearaui-e.
It has been well cultivated and the
growth has been strong and vigorous.
The remainder is mainly in lettuce, which
promises a good yield, with the exception
of Big Boston, in which there has been
some loss from blight. The Kimberlins
are well satisfied with the crop results
this year, in view of the unfavorable con-
ditions last spring. Though the father
of the present members of the firm was
one of the pioneer seed growers in the
Santa Clara section, they now have no
holdings near their home town. It is not
exhaustion of soil that has driven them
away, but the fact that the wild morning-
glory has become such a pest there. This
weed does not start growth until late in

the season, when the crops are too ma-
ture to be cultivated without injury, and
it soon produces a mat of foliage tliat
completely covers the ground. No satis-
factory means of combating it have yet
been discovered. Government experts
are now at work endeavoring to discover
some method of exterminating it or keep
ing it in check.

A most impressive sight was the Fair
Oaks seed farm of the Braslan Seed
Growers Co., San Jose, Cal., when the
writer visited it August 2. The farm
contains 850 acres and is some two
miles long, the crops being mainly let-
t'tice and onion. The land is perfectly
level and the stand of lettuce was so
uniform that the sweeping view gave
somewhat the effect of a beautifully
figured table cloth. Harvesting had al-
ready begun and though ninety hands
were then in the field, the foreman was
asking for forty more, as the seed was
ripening so rapidly. To the writer
crop results here seemed to be all that
could possibly be desired, and the auto-
mobile ride through two miles of let-
tuce was an experience that will long
be remembered. Several other farms
of the Braslan Co. were visited, the
acreage being largely onion for seed,
and all promised a good average crop.

The Market.

Business until two weeks ago was
quite encouraging and a better trade
could not be wished for. This, perhaps,
was due to a scarcity of stock, there
being until that time practically no out-
door stock, owing to the fact that the
weather man had not favored us with
much rain. Since then, however, the
much needed rain has come, bringing
in great quantities of outdoor stock,
such as asters, gladioli, etc., which
were only waiting for a little en-
couragement. This made the supply
more than abundant; consequently
prices were cut away down, and much
of the stock found its way to the ash
barrel.

The oversupply of outdoor stock
more than killed the market for the
indoor varieties. Rose crops are heavy
in all varieties and stock is exception-
ally good for the season. Few carna-
tions from old stock are seen, but some
good flowers are coming from the young
plants and bring a good price.

Auratum and Melpomene lilies are
abundant and while there is a good de-

Various Notes.

The Miami Floral Co. is cutting some
heavy crops of good roses in all va-
rieties, but finds the market dull.
Rather than give the ash barrel the
benefit of the surplus, the company is
sending large quantities to the hos-
pitals and other places where they will
do some good, thus giving many who
have few flowers a chance to enjoy
them.

Many of our local expressmen are
seen wearing white duck caps bearing
the inscription, "Matthews, the
Florist. »'

Word has been received from Mr.
and Mrs. George Bartholomew, who left
for England July 17, that they arrived
in Liverpool all O. K., their boat being
two days late in landing, due to rough
and icy seas. They intend to travel
extensively through England, their trip
covering most places of interest, and at
the time they wrote they were taking
in the sights of London and having a
jolly good time.

M. Anderson has been on the sick
list for the last week. Aside from his
flower establishment, he has bought a
restaurant in town.

William Kiefaber, treasurer of the
Miami Floral Co., left August 10, ac-
companied by his wife and two sons,
for a two weeks' trip to Atlantic City
and other eastern points.

Word comes from H. C. Hood that he
is now manager of P. Haussmann's
nursery at Los Angeles, Cal.

Warren G. Matthews and Harry Altic
left August .3 for Cincinnati to join
the Cincinnati and Chicago delegations
to the convention.

Herbert Bartholomew and Roy
Ewings, both"^ ±he_Mifinii Floral Co.,
have equipped themselves with a steel
duck boat, a small tent and cooking
utensils and intend to "paddle their
own canoe" about September 1, when
they will start on a trip down the
Miami river to the Ohio river and
from there to the Mississippi and down
that stream until they get tired. They
will then return to Dayton by rail and
ship their outfit.

Mrs. B. Hendrichs has been out camp-
ing with friends at Shiloh, 0., for the
last two weeks. Arno Hendrichs left
last week on a two weeks' vacation, in
which he will visit Niagara Falls,
White Haven and points of interest in
Canada. R. A. B.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

AUQUST 17. 1»11.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

There has been no change for the
better during the last week in the
wholesale cut flower market. The con-
tinut:d drought has added to the gen-
eral depression and abundant rain is
badly needed, all the outdoor floyers
depreciating daily in qualitj'^, asters
especially being far below normal. The
gladioli and carnations have also retro-
graded. Asters and gladioli are com-
ing in %, greater flood than ever before,
and the retail market utterly refuses
to digest them. Cellars are full of
them and there seems to be no let-irp
in the daily shipments.

Cosmos is arriving. Next come the
dahlias and goldenrod. Hydrangea
paniculata is already abundant, and
another week or two will see the new
roses :ind carnations in evideneo again.
There are few good carnations arriv-
ing; $1 seems to be the high water
mark at present and only a few tea
roses go above the uniform rate of $3
per hundred for selected stock. Ten
per cent of the asters are superb.
These sell fairly well on arrival, but
ninety per cent are mediocre and hard-
ly salable at any price. The orchid
supply is not overabundant and prices
are steady at the quotations recorded.
Lilies fell to 3 cents last week and
were hard to clear out, even at this
low rate. Valley did not rise above
.$2 per hundred.

The hot wave ushered in convention
week a year ago. We are praying his-
tory may not repeat itself. If the tem-
perature at Baltimore is anything like
the hearts and the welcome of the
sunny south, there will be a hot time
in the Monnmental City. As compared
with the prices of cut flowers a year
ago, it is interesting to note that roses'
top was 3 cents, carnations were $10
per thousand and lilies $25 per thou-
sand.

New York to Baltimore.

It was noon and warm enough for
comfort when a jolly crowd, numbering
136, boarded the New York FForists'
Club's special train on the Baltimore &
Ohio for the Baltimore convention. The
Boston boys were on hand, thirty-five
strong, including Mr. Farquhar. The
special dinner was the best ever fur-
nished to a florists' gathering, and it
was four hours before the last of the
inner men and women were satisfied.
Every detail was perfect. Messrs.
Young, Rickards and Weathered dis-
pensed liquid nourishment in unlimited
quantity, while Chairman Traendly saw
that the ladies had fruit in abundance.
The dining car was handsomely deco-
rated with asters and gladioli.

With us were the veterans of the so-
ciety> James Dean, John N. May, Louis
Schmutz, John Birnie, George Saltford,
J. K. Allen, John V. Phillips, F. E.
Pierson and John G. Esler. The com-
pany included the handsomest ladies of
the east in floricultural circles, among
them several of our champion bowlers.
I. L. Powell, the author of "Millbrook,"
and a party of five were on hand. The
Canucks sent us Mr. and Mrs. G. A.
Robinson from Montreal. Jersey City,
Hoboken and Long Island did nobly in
attendance.

Various Notes.

Lilium Harrisii

(THE BERMUDA EASTER LILY)

LET US SUPPLY YOUR WANTS IN LILIES THIS SEASON

Wt think we can make it to your advanta£e to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for us by a few selected grow-
ers whose stocks have been worked up h-om the true, original stock. In order to insure the health of the product, the bulbs are not
grown on the same field oftener than one season, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thor-
oughly manured when the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used ; this prevents disease and insures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the ground until they are
thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is very little, if any, stock obtain-
able as good as the stock that we are offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stodk and when this is disposed
of we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower tlian, the prices of those who
offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers will find our stock very satisfactory, and
much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, wtiich has badly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have exceptional facilities for
obtaintag our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually
offered.

6- 7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per. case; full thousand lots, $ 40.00 per 1000

7- 9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, 16.00 per case; full thousand lots, 75.00 per 1000
9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, 18.00 per case ; full thousand lots, 175.00 per 1000

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties- good, bushy, well-grown plants that will please the
most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots and are thoroughly well established and nicely finished.

Nephrolepis Bostoniensis and Piersoni, 6-inch pots $0.50 each

Nephrolepis Elegantissima, Piersoni, Bostoniensis and Harrisii, heavy 8-inch plants . $1.00 to 1.50 each
Nepfirolepis Elegantissima, Bostoniensis and Harrisii, heavy 10-inch plants .... 2.50 each

Flowering CyClamCtl

For the last 15 years we have selected three-fourths of our
seed bearing Cyclamen stock before Xmas, to assure early
blooming plants, and claim the finest commercial strain in this
country; no fizzle of many so-called English varieties. Our
aim is strong growers, that don't have to be petted to be
grown into a choice salable plant — a well built, five petaled
flower (many of them at one time), with well marked foliage;
every plant an ideal, a prize-winner. Received first and second
prizes at the Toledo Florists' Club meeting early in November,
when blooming Cyclamens were scarce. Seed of this, my own
grown strain, in five separate colors, JJl.OO per 100; $6.00 per
1000; $25.00 per 5000.

FLORISTS' REVIEW

When Writing Advertisers

The other day I visited a small
town not far from New York to see
what business might be done. I
concluded to visit the oldest estab-
lishment first, and when I arrived
there an old, disgruntled disbudder
came out of the house cleaning his
teeth via the vacuum method, said
he had bought for twenty years from
one house and calculated they were
good enough for him ; besides, he
used Callas since the Harrisii had
gone wrong. I asked him if any
other florist in town grew bulbs, and
he said there was only one other
and he was a young snip who knew
nothing about the business, and
used no lilies that he knew of. So,
of course, I knew the young fellow
must be of some account, since the
old man had belittled him. Sure
enough, I found the young fellow
up and busy. He had more busi-
ness about him in a minute than
the old man had in a day, and after
a five-minute conversation he
bought what he needed and went
about his work. Before I left I
asked him about the old man and
was told that he was a reliable
man, who bought some bulbs, and
was advised to see him, I thought
to myself, "What a difference in
humanity and between the old and
the young in business ! " but said
nothing. The old fellow is a throw-
back from the Black Ages — and
will never amount to a row of pins.
The Good Shepherd knows we don't
want any Horseshoe Brand boxes
around his back yard, but the
younger man we want and we will
keep his trade, for he is worthy of
respect and business confidence. —

This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the
facilities for filling the orders sent them by other florists-^has made possible the recent rapid
development of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and
so helpful 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.

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?

The Market.

The wholesale markets were all over-
crowded every day last week. There
are so many flowers coming in now and
the retail business is so dull that not
half of the stock is consumed by the
local trade. All outdoor stock is look-
ing much better than a week ago. As-
ters have been a big glut and all grades
are going begging at even the low
prices at which they are offered. Gladi-
oli, also, are much too plentiful for
the demand and are offered as low as
$2 per hundred in thousand lots. Sin-
gle tuberose stalks are coming in now
in large consignments from the Kirk-
wood growers; $2 in hundred lots is
all they brought last week.

Carnations are coming in more free-
ly, but there is nothing fancy as yet.
There are plenty of roses in all va-
rieties to be had, including a great
many fancy Beauties. In order to dis-
pose of them, cheap prices prevail.
Plenty of lilies, valley and a lot of
outdoor stock help to crowd the mar-
ket.

afternoon, August 10, with only twen-

that most of the regulars are away on
their vacation trips. President Connon
was away on an eastern trip, so Vice-
President Frank A. Weber presided in
his usual happy manner. All the other
officers were present, and the trustees
reported the expenses of the recent pic-
nic and were given a vote of thanks.

An invitation from the Chicago Flo-
rists' Club to meet with them at Chi-
cago October 5 was read and accepted.
W. C. Smith, R. J. Windier and J. J.

Vice-President F. H. Weber of the S.

Winkler, of St. Louis, and Mathew
Schoenberge, of Belleville, 111., were
presented.

A great deal of enthusiasm was dis-
played in the election of officers, which
resulted as follows: President, Robert
J. Windier, elected by unanimous vote;
vice-president, Frank Vennemann, of
Kirkwood; secretary, J. .T. Beneke, re-
elected; treasurer, W. C. Smith, re-
elected. The fun began with the elec-
tion of the trustees. Frank A. Weber
was chosen for a three year term and
W. C. Young for one year, after sev-
eral ballots had been taken. The tellers
were E. W. Guy and A. S. Halstead.

This interesting meeting came to a
close after a good discussion on several
questions from the box. The next meet-
ing of the club will be held Thursday,
September 14.

Various Notes.

Henry C. Ostertag, head of the firm
of Ostertag Bros., was badly bitten by
a dog last week. The doctor pro-
nounced the injury serious, but at last
reports Mr. Ostertag was much im-
proved and hoped that by the first of
this week he would be able to make
a short trip north for a rest.

Paddy Paddon, of the W. C. Smith
force, says he thought sleeping on the
floor these hot nights possessed certain
irresistible advantages. ' Following up
the idea, he made a bed and laid him-
self down upon it, neglecting, however,
to turn out the gas. The window being
open, a breeze blew in and extinguished
the flame and the blow almost killed
Paddy.

A. T. Griesa, for the last eight years
manager for the Tingley Seed Co., has
resigned his position to take effect Sep-
tember 1, when he will depart for Oma-
ha to take charge of the flower seed
department of the Nebraska Seed Co.

Mr. Nichols, of the St. Louis Seed
Co., with his family, is summering at
the northern lakes. They are expected
home about September 1. Mr. Rau, the
other member of the firm, says they ex-

The Metropolitan Floral Co., at 502
North Grand avenue, has placed a large
electric sign in front of the store. Mr.
Geranios says the summer trade has
been better with them than expected.

Fred W. Pape, the South St. Louis
florist, has purchased a large red tour-
ing automobile, in which he expects to
make a long vacation trip next month.

The new building in course of erec-
tion for the Sanders Nursery at 623
Clara avenue, to be occupied by them
as a flower establishment when com-
pleted, collapsed Wednesday afternoon,
August 9, killing one and badly injur-
ing two other workmen. The building
was nearly completed. The loss will
fall on the contractor.

Guy Raburn, of the firm of A. Hen-
derson & Co., Chicago, was hustling all
last week among the local trade, with
great success.

H. Bowoldt, cashier for Kyle & Foer-

The Weekly Florists' Review.

AUODBT 17, 1911.

PACinC COAST.

Loon Lake, Wash. — A greenhouse is
being erected for Dr. E. T. Hein, on his
irrigated tract southeast of town.

Lawndale, Cal. — Speakman Bros, are
erecting a rose house, 27x335, on their
First street property. It is said to be
one of the largest single greenhouses in
the southwest.

Garfield, Wash. — Scott Bros., of the
Boselawn Greenhouses, say that busi-
ness has been scarcely as Inrisk as usual
this summer, though crops have been
fairly good. The weather has been dry,
but not especially hot.

Tacoma, Wash. — L. Ghilarducci, a
Pacific avenue florist, was recently
fined $10 and costs for obstructing the
alley in the rear of his establishment
with a large bay tree. He stated in
his defense that the tree was in the
alley only a short time, while awaiting
transportation to the rose show at the
Armory. He appealed the case.

FOBTLAITD, OBE.

The Market.

August business opened up somewhat
quietly, falling slightly behind July,
which was up to expectations. There
is no overabundance of flowers. Asters
are about the choicest stock obtainable,
but gladioli are also coming in nicely.
Carnations, roses and sweet peas are
declining rapidly. Stocks, helianthus
and perennial phlox serve the purpose
as novelty flowers. Chrysanthemum
Golden Glow is coming in nicely, and
while they receive unlimited comments,
they are a little ahead of usefulness.

Various Notes.

Dan Cupid has depleted the office
force at Clarke Bros.' store. Karl Gard-
ner, the bookkeeper, and Miss Ethel
Campbell, the stenographer, decided to
spend their vacation and honeymoon
together at Long Beach, Wash.

John J. Stuppy, of St. Joseph, Mo.,
stopped over A few days to call on
friends in the trade.

Herbert & Fleishauer, of McMinn-
ville, are shipping some choice asters.
A Crego sport in the white seems to be
of unusual merit. E. B. C.

SAN FBANCISCO, CAL.

The Market.

Business, although not as brisk as
one would like, shows a somewhat
brighter aspect, and with the return-
ing of most of the townspeople from
the rural districts prospects are much
better. The best quality flowers have
advanced somewhat in price and with
the continued cool weather stock gen-
erally is in good shape. Carnations in
many instances are rather short-
stemmed, but this condition will be
remedied in a short while. Asters are
now in their glory and while not pro-
duced in as large quantities as in for-
mer years, there are quite enough for
all purposes and some to spare.

Outside flowers are moving slowly
and never have fhey been in larger or
better supply. Even the finest dahlias
and gladioli, that sold so well last sea-

Climbing White Naman Cochet

The most valuable acquisition to our Climbing White
Roses in the past few years is Climbing White Maman
Cochet. Identical with the older variety in size, form
and color, it has further proven to be one of the most
profuse and continuous bloomers, strongest growers, of
clean habit, glossy foliage and the flowers are borne on
long, stiff, straight stems. These excellent points to-
gether with its freedom from mildew make it one of the
most noteworthy additions to that class of Roses of
which there is never a surplus — Hardy, White, Ever-
blooming Climbers.

With practically 50 years' experience and in that
time having handled millions of Roses, we are always
careful in recommending new varieties, but we have no
hesitancy in emphasizing everything we claim for Climb-
ing White Maman Cochet.

We offer a limited stock of hardy field grown plants
that will be ready January 1, 1912, at jSl.OO eaph; ji9.00
per dozen. Orders filled strictly in rotation.

COLUMBUS, O.

The Market.

Trade is rather quiet as a rule, but
some days there is quite a demand for
funerals. Stock has been more plenti-
ful in the last week, and roses have
improved considerably in quality and
quantity. White and Pink Killarriey
head the list, but there are quite a few
good Brides and Maids coming in, and
they are quite a relief, as Killarney
pops open in a few hours and does not
give the satisfaction generally obtained
from Brides and Maids.

There are quite a few carnations still
coming in from old stock and some have
been of excellent quality; almost as
good as winter stock. Enchantress is
coming in from new stock, but is mostly
short-stemmed; however, the quality is
fine and before another week rolls around
we will see good, fair-stemmed stock on
the market. A few sweet peas are
seen, but the quality is poor and the
demand light.

Asters have improved but little since
the last writing and it looks as though
we will have to fall back on the old
standby, carnations, although some
growers are expecting some good blooms
on the late cuts. Lilies are quite plen-
tiful now, both Easter and rubrum.
Gladioli are still in good supply and
are one of the best sellers. Potted
ferns are moving well, but the supply
here is running quite low.

Various Notes.

The Columbus Florists' Club held its
regular meeting Tuesday evening, Au-
gust 8. On Saturday, August 12, the
same club enjoyed an outing at Heimen-
dale Grove. They had an auto parade
and a band in a large truck decorated
with palms, cedars, etc. The nine an-
tes in the parade were also decorated
with cut flowers and greens.

Mrs. E. M. Kraus has retired from

the cause of the change, and the other

members bought her interest and will

has accepted a position in the store and
will look after that end of it.

The Columbus Floral Co. is still cut-
ting some excellent carnations from old
stock, but will soon replant.

Leo Miller is also cutting carnations
from old stock and the quality is fine.

The Fifth Avenue Horal Co. is get-
ting some good carnations from the
new plants, and although the stems are
rather short, the quality is fine for this
time.

Miss Jessie Watts, for several years
with the Livingston Seed Co., in the

O. L. Tates, Rochester, N. Y. Thirty-seventh annual
meeting, Boston, June. 1912.

Of the peonies, Mme. Forel, clear rose
pink, is in special demand.

The Texas Nurserymen 's Association
will hold its annual meeting in Sep-
tember at Waco, Tex. The exact date
is to be announced later.

The peony specialists are hoping for
some good rain«, to put the soil in condi-
tion for digging early in September.
Most of them have had a dry season.

W. P. Stark, ex-president of the Amer-
ican Association of Nurserymen, says
that apples this year will be more plenti-
ful, of better quality and lower price
than they have been for several years.

The peony experts are dropping Rich-
ardson's Eubra Superba from their lists
of varieties. In spite of its splendid
bloom and its lateness, it is too shy and
unreliable to be recommended.

PABK SUPEKINTENDENTS MEET.

The thirteenth annual convention of
the American Association of Park Su-
perintendents was held at Kansas City,
Mo., August 8 to 10, and was pronounced
one of the most successful meetings the
association has yet held. The opening
session was held at the offices of the
Kansas City Board of Park Commis-
sioners, where Mayor Darius A. Brown
and Henry D. Ashley, member of the
Board of Park Commissioners, extended
the visitors a cordial welcome to the
city. Vice-president Charles E. Keith,
of Bridgeport, Conn., presided, in the
'absence of President Wm. J. Zartmann,
Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. Keith referred
sympathetically to the absence of W.
H. Dunn, general superintendent of the
Kansas City parks, and a vice-president
of the organization, who was detained
at home by sickness. President Zart-
mann's annual address was read by
J. B. Shea, of Boston, Mass.

Secretary-treasurer F. L. Mulford re-
ported that the membership, including
active, honorary, associate and special
members, was 134, to which a number
were added during the Kansas City
meeting.

Boston was chosen for the 1912 meet-
ing, with several invitations already en-

HOLLAND NOTES.

The total surface around Naarden
devoted to nurseries contains over 100
hectares (about 247 acres). The Soci-
ety of Nurserymen has thirty-six mem-
bers.

Mr. Smit, of the firm of Smit & Co.,
Naarden, returned last week from his
annual business trip through America.
This firm exported last season 1,200
boxes of nursery stock to the United
States. In the export season there is
a special boat for transporting nursery
stock to Rotterdam.

Nearly all seeds will be high in price
next season.

Round spinach growing crop is hand-
ling at present at good price, and ris-
ing. Prickly is in lower demand. Cher-
vil, extra big prices with great demand
and rise sharply; undoubtedly it will
come over 200 francs per hundred kilos.

PITTSBUEO, PA.

The Market.

Business conditions have changed
slightly since last week's report. The
demand at this writing, August 14, is
equal to the supply, but prices remain
nearly the same.

Asters, which have been so plentiful
the last two weeks, are now rather
scarce and few really good ones are ar-
riving, due to the fact that the early
varieties are just about over and the
late ones not quite ready to cut.

America gladioli are apparently
grown by every florist in quantity.
Every one of the out-of-town florists
grows enough for his own use, and
the larger city retail establishments
plant quantities of this variety with
the other pleasing shades. This leaves
the commission houses with only a lim-
ited territory to supply on this, one of
the best and most satisfactory summer
blooms.

Carnations are seen at the whole-
sale places ; some really good white for so
early in the season. Eoses are good
and are sold at reasonable prices. A
limited quantity of Melody and Mrs.
Ward, good quality, are arriving. One
of our large growers has taken up Bon
Silene again and is now sending in a
good supply of choice blooms of this
pretty little rose. Beauties are not
plentiful; there are not enough good
blooms to fill the demand. Good Kill-
arney and White Killarney, My Mary-
land and Eichmond are offered in 500
lots at $1 per hundred.

Various Notes.

Charles Koenig, of Millvale, Pa., is
sending the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co.
quantities of choice valley and gigan-
teum lilies.

The Albert Lorch Floral Co., Allison
Park, has about completed planting car-
nations; the plants are in good condi-
tion and should produce the usual fine
stock for which this company has the
reputation.

Work is progressing rapidly at Henry
Meuschke & Sons' establishment at
Castle Shannon, where many novelties
in cut flowers are grown, with the usual
new varieties of roses and carnations.

Paul Eandolph is head over heels in
work on his new range of plant houses,
which Lord & Burnham are erecting for
him near Verona, Pa. Mr. Eandolph
will devote most of his space to the
growing of flowering and foliage plants.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

AvQvat 17, 1911.

Baseball, dancing and cards were in-
dulged in, and the committee is to be
complimented for the successful ar-
rangement and good time provided.
The baseball game between the Growers
and Wholesalers was won by the Grow-
ers; score 7 to 3. E. C. Ludwig was
the donor of the prizes, which were im-
ported disbudding knives, and, needless
to say, they were appreciated. The
game between the married and single
men resulted in the single men walking
away with the cash prize donated by
De Forest Ludwig; score 14 to 1.

John Wyland has all his carnation
plants housed and is devoting his atten-
tion now to the laying out of his farm
into bungalow sites, which he is dispos-
ing of at profitable figures.

W. A. Clarke and family are spending
their vacation at Chautauqua Lake,

Eay Page, auditor for the Pittsburgh
Cut Flower Co., is on a fishing trip in
the wilds of Canada.

Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Ludwig left Mon-
day, August 14, for Baltimore and At-
lantic City.

T. P. Langhans and family left
Wednesday, August 16, for an automo-
bile trip through New York.

Visitors: Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Dar-
nell, of Cleveland, 0., on their way

DENVEB.

The Market.

There is little to say about the mar-
ket. Some days there is plenty of
stock, such as it is, and. again there is
a decided shortage. Carnations are
scarce. The new plants are just be-
ginning to bloom, and the flowers are
few and of poor quality. Nearly all
the tea roses are badly mildewed, some
being worse than others. The aster
crop has turned out better than was
at first expected; some good early va-
rieties are seen, and the prospect for
a good crop of late sorts is bright.
Gladioli are in fine condition and
dahlias are good.

It is difficult to give a true report of
business conditions. It is dull, of
course; that is understood during Au-
gust, but there have been one or two
good days, when it has been impossible
to buy enough stock to fill orders. On
the day of Alfred Mueller's funeral
there was not a flower of any kind for
sale. Out-of-town orders for shipment
that night had to be turned down, with
regrets.

Apparently there are some who are
not discouraged, and it is a delight to
the eye to see how attractively some
of the show windows are arranged.
Quantities of new stock are used every
day, and while it takes some grit and
much capital, still it makes a good im-
pression and can well be charged to ad-
vertising.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Thomas Chapman and daughter
are having a delightful visit in Cali-
fornia. They will not return for five or
six weeks.

We have no hesitation in claiming that our collection of Standard
Varieties stands preeminent among such collections in the country. As
far as only distinct and useful varieties are concerned, it is the result of
the most careful selection from hundreds of varieties from the foremost
European and American introducers, and comprises only those sorts which
years of experience have taught us are the very best in their several different
classes, and which can be depended on to produce the most satisfactory
results, and which represent the highest Standard of development yet
obtained in their special class or color.

In keeping our list up to this high standard, we are continually adding
many of the newer introductions and discarding some of the old sorts, which
have been favorites but are now superseded by others, which are more
beautiful in form, greater in substance, more exquisite in color, more satis-
factory in growth.

We have prepared to propagate these in large quantities, having added
thousands of plants to our already large stock. If you can use them in
large quantities, write us, and we may be able to make you a special price.

We are booking orders for DAHLIA AND CANNA Roots for Fall
delivery.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Business remains good considering
the time of the year. Stock is plenti-
ful at present; in fact, there is an over-
abundance of gladioli and asters. So
far good asters have been few and far
between, this being no doubt one rea-
son so many remain unsold at the
wholesale houses, as the demand for
good asters has not been supplied.

Koses are quite plentiful and of good
quality. A good supply of Beauties in
different lengths are taking the place
of red roses, the latter being quite
scarce. Sweet peas are short of stem.

Various Notes.

Ernest Sullivan has just returned
from a tour through New York state.

Indications are that begonias will
be rather scarce on this market this
season.

Sobert Klagge, of Mount Clemens,
and a staff of assistants, are busy
planting thousands of bulbs.

J. Carey, of Mount Clemens, and
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Rahaley, of De-
troit, left Wednesday, August 16, for
Atlantic City. Mr. Carey expected to
spend some time at the S. A. F. conven-
tion.

When interviewed by the writer last
week, August Von Boeselager, of the
Bath City, was busy planting carna-
tions. Many improvements have ueen
made by Mr. Von Boeselager on his al-
ready most modern place, one being the
forming of an immense cistern under
the whole potting shed. Into this cis-
tern empties all the rain water, which
is then pumped into the watering pipes
by a gas engine. Mr. Von Boeselager
intends to have no trouble with sulphur
in the water.

From present indications the supply
of chrysanthemums from Mount Clem-
ens this coming season will be the best
ever. J. Carey has a bench of ex-
ceptionally fine October Frost, which
will soon show color.

Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Scribner are at-
tending the S. A. F. convention.

An heir to the throne arrived at the
home of our president, George E.
Browne, Tuesday, August 8. Both
mother and child are doing well.

Fred Graessle, of Schroeter 's, is away
spending two weeks' vacation and, inci-
dentally, several weeks' pay.

B. Schroeter 's Buick delivery car,
which has already covered over 15,000
miles, has been repainted and looks
like new. H. S,

Subscribers are invited to write the
editor of tiie Heating Department, de-
scribing their troubles or asking any
questions regarding the heating of grc^en-
houses, the i)iping or boiler-room. But
please do not ask us to make a choice of
apparatus for you. Each article adver-
tised in this department of The Review
is good, and the advertisers sell them on
their merits.

RETURN PIPE UNDER WALK.

Kindly enlighten us as to the follow-
ing: We have two houses, and, on ac-
count of soil conditions, are not able
to sink the boiler below the ground
level. We have a hot water heating
system, with a Kroeschell boiler. We
do not wish to run the return pipes
across the walks at the boiler end of
the houses at a height where they would
interfere with walking through the
houses, and we are in doubt whether it
would be satisfactory to drop the re-
turn pipe to the ground and raise it
again to get it into the boiler. W. R.

While it would be better to avoid the
trap in the return pipe, yet if the sys-
tem is run downhill to the point where
the rise in the return is made, there
should be no difficulty in securing a
good circulation with the return drop-
ping under the walk as described.

TWO IOWA HOUSES.

I am building two connected green-
houses, each 21x75. The houses run
east and west, with the boiler house
at the east end. The exposed sides of
the houses are six feet high, with three
feet of glass and board siding below.
The west ends are exposed. I will
grow carnations in the north house,
and will use the south house for all
kinds of pot plants, with some roses
and palms. The boiler pit is" five feet
below the level of the ground and the
ground slopes one foot to seventy-five
feet toward the east. T will have two
.>foot benches in the middle and two
3-foot benches on the side in each
house. Will you please tell me how
much piping is needed and the proper

way to put it in! The boiler is a tubu-
lar hot water boiler, nine feet long,
fifty-two inches high and forty-two
inches wide.

I have let the heating job to a local
plumber and he will furnish everything,
leaving the job complete, but I think
he is using too many pipes. These are
his figures: One 6-inch tap from the
boiler, about ten or twelve feet long;
one 4-inch overhead flow in each house;
four 2-inch returns under three benches
and three 2-inch returns under one
bench in each house. J. L. M.

For the carnation house one 4-inch
flow and twelve 2-inch returns should
be suflScient to maintain a temperature
of 50 to 55 degrees, but it would be
better to substitute two 2^-inch flow
pipes for the single 4-inch flow, though
the latter is, of course, large enough
to supply the returns. In the rose
house use three 2%,-inch flow pipes and
fourteen 2-inch returns. If the 4-inch
main is to be used, sixteen returns
would be needed. The above radiation
is considerably larger than would be
needed unless the thermometer is lower
than 15 degrees below zero, with high
winds.

A HOUSE FOR QENEKAI. STOCK.

1 am building a Lord & Burnham
house, 28x50 feet, for general stock.
Please tell me the amount- of piping
required and how to locate it to best
advantage. In this part of Maine the

days at a time. I am planning to use

(1) Improves to perfection the circulation In hot water plants that are de-

(2) Enables present hot water systems to be extended to a very large extent
without increasing the size of the pipes or the height of the circulating head.

(3) Owing to the reduced size of the main piping required, it considerably
reduces the flrst cost of installation.

(4) Gives an even temperature in the pipes throughout the system.
Reduces the amount of radiating pipes required.
Enables smaller piping to be used.

Piping may be placed below boiler level as well as above. «-4a

As fast as old grate bars are burned
out many growers are putting in the
Martin rocking grate. The call for this
grate is largely increased by the fact
that the growers who have used it for
one or more seasons are almost without
exception equipping other boilers with "it.
The grate costs considerably more than
the stationary bars, but is figured to
make a decided saving in fuel, and that
is what all the growers are l^ter.

heater. It is rated at 1,000 square

another heater of the same size be
sufficient, joining the two? G. W. H.

If there is no glass in the side walls,
there should be no difficulty in main-
taining a temperature of 50 degrees in
a house 28x50 feet with 600 square feet
of radiation. The exact arrangement
of the piping would depend upon the
construction of the houses, but if there
are no posts in the houses a sijnple
method of piping would be. to run a
2i'-;-inch flow pipe on each of the Walls
and connect them with coils of 2-inch
pipes on the walls, each containing
eight 2-inch returns. Another method
would be to run a third 2V_.-inch flow
a couple of feet below the ridge and
then halve five returns on each wall
and five others under one or two of
the benches. While we have had no
experience with the Hub heater, the
size of the grate is about right for
the rating given and the present heater
should be sufficiently large to heat a
house of the size described.

in a dwelling house. The boiler has a
16-inch grate and is rated at 450 square
feet of radiation; it is of the Gurney
make and consists of four sections, one
above the other. It has a 3%-inch

I propose to build a house out of the
sashes, by using the 8Vj-foot sashes for
the roof. The house will run east and
west. The north wall will be four feet
high, of boards. The south wall will
be built of the 6%-foot sashes, set on
edge, so that the plate will be four
feet above ground. The north half of
the roof will consist entirely of the
81^ -foot sashes, but in the south half
every third sash will be a 6%-foot one,
with a ventilator to cover the other
two feet of space. The ends of the
house will be mostly of glass. The
house will be about fourteen feet wide
and eight feet to the ridge. It will
contain solid benches and I intend to

EVANSVILLE, IND.

The Market.

Business has been at a standstill for
several days, owing to the extreme heat
and the small number of funerals. Pre-
vious to this falling off in trade, busi-
ness was excellent for the month of
July.

Early asters were a failure, due to
the dry, hot weather, but the late crop
will be better. The new crop of roses,
which is just coming in, is quite good.
Carnations are gone, but it will not be
long before some will be cut from the
new plants.

Various Notes.

Julius Xiednagel & Sons have fin-
ished planting carnations and the plants
are in excellent condition and break-
ing nicely. This year they have planted
only the three varieties of Enchantress
and Beacon, having discarded all others.
The roses are looking fine, both the
young stock and the old plants, which
have been dried off and started into
good growth again. There are five
benches of Ivory that are beginning
their fifth year. The young plants of
AVhite Killarney are already producing
good flowers on stems of nice length.
There are several plants of the climb-
ing Pink Killarney which originated
here about six years ago. The mums
are in fine shape, with not a yellow
leaf on them, and prospects are good
for some fine flowers. The. early asters
are giving lots of flowers and the late
ones are beginning to show color. Mr.
Ede, their carnation grower, has left
them, and Curt Niednagel has charge
of the carnations and mums till a new
grower arrives. This firm has 30,000
feet of glass on hand and will probably
build next spring.

Ben Kramer saj-s business has been
slow.

Henry Seymour has his carnations all
planted and is cutting a few flowers
from them.

Nellie Goodge reports poor business.

Louis Fritsch is busy with outside
and inside work. He has his carnations
all in the benches.

Royston & Fenton have their roses
all dried off and started up again.

THE GODFREY CAIJiiA.

Please give me a little advice on
growing the Godfrey calla. If I should
buy bulbs from 2 1^ -inch pots and re-
plant in 5-inch pots, when should they
be planted and started to grow, to get
a good winter crop! Should they be
plunged in ashes or placed in saucers
when they are through flowering next
spring? Should they be dumped out
of the pots, or should they be kept in
the same soil year after year! If they
are planted directly into solid beds, how
far apart should they be each way? Do
they carry as big a flower as the Elliot-
tiana calla? G. S.

Uention Tbe Review when yoa wriM-

If you purchase plants of the God-
frey calla in 2%-inch pots, it would be
well to pot at once into 4-inch and
later into 6-inch, in which they will
give you a fine winter crop of flowers.
They will even flower in 3-inch pots, but
to secure large flowers 5-inch to 6-inch
pots are necessary. They flower more
freely in pots than it planted in
benches. Of course, they want liberal
feeding and en.^oy top-dressings of sheep
manure and bone meal. The flowers
are as large as those of Elliottiana and
the common ^thiopica, and purer in
color than the latter. They also pro-
duce twice as many flowers as the
common calla. Lay the pots on their
sides outdoors for a rest about June 1
and start up again in six or seven
weeks. New soil, consisting of fibrous
loam, cow manure, sand and some fine
bone, should be used each year. The
plants do particularly well on a side
bench, in a carnation house temperature.

An exceptionally high grade hose manufactured
with a woven jacket insertion instead of cotton
duck, and with specially selected rubberjn the inner
tul)e and cover." 1

The woven jacket constructbn makesa stronger
hose than can be obtained from cotton duck, and
absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening
at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on
cotton duck. ■ This construction also gives a more
flexible hose and reduces the possibility of kinking. '
"Magic" Hose is guaranteed to stand a pressure
of 500 pounds per square inch, although its bursting
pressure is far in excess of this.

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

The summer dullness is upon the city
and the florists are suffering the usual
dearth of business. A majority of the
flower buyers are away at the seashore
or the country and, except for the de-
mand for funeral work, the retailers
might just as well close their places.
Many of the growers have done but
little, on account of the excessively hot
weather, few having yet benched their
carnations, believing that they will
thrive better in the field than if trans-
planted.

Various Notes.

Michael J. Leach, of Pawtucket, was
a recent visitor in Boston.

Peter Byrnes, of Wickford, has been
especially busy with decorations for
functions at Narragansett.

Frederick Harrington, employed by
r the Everett Forestry Co., which is trim-
ming the big elm trees in Main street,
Manville, fell from one of the trees
recently and was bady shaken up. He
sprained one of his ankles.

Henry C. Neubrand and daughter
have returned from a visit with his
parents at Webster, N. Y.

Frederick Dietz, 24 French street, is
having a new greenhouse erected in ad-
dition to his present range.

Frederick C. Greene, superintendent
of parks of this city, attended the an-
nual convention of the Association of
Park Superintendents at Rochester.
N. Y., last week and was elected vice-
president from Bhode Island.

The Greystone Horticultural Society
will hold its first annual flower show in
the social club hall, September 9.

A meeting of those interested in the
formation of a market in this city js
to be held in a few days, for the pur-
pose of organizing and getting every-
thing in readiness for the opening of
the fall season.

Frederick B. Luther, of Oxford street,
has the sympathy of a large circle
of acquaintances in the death of his
mother last week.

Max Viller, with Johnston Bros., is
spending all of his spare time this sum-
mer at a camp at Oakland Beach.

A. Battinille has opened a retail
flower store at 192 Atwell's avenue.

E. A. Johnston, who opened a retail
store at Narragansett Pier for the sea-
son, has closed it again.

J. Frank Parker and T. S. Ware, of
the Rhode Island Nursery Co., have
been working in Westerly and vicinity
for several days on outdoor work.

William H. Tarbox, of Pawtuxet val-
ley, reports having had much difficulty
in saving his dahlia and aster crops
this season on account of the drought.

W. H. M.

Clyde, O.— Le Roy N. Brown & Son
have ordered material for a new house,
20x102 feet, which they hope to have
ready for their winter and spring trade.

''HANILTON-NADE''
GREENHOUSE HOSE

What our mark on hose means

"Hamilton-Made" means superior quality in general and on©
thing in particular. The "one thing in particular" is this:

On every length of "Hamilton-Made" hose you will notice a
mark not found on any other hose — "Guaranteed 750 pounds
pressure," or 700 or 500, etc., according to the grade. On our
"Hamilton" brand every length has been tested under pressure
of 750 pounds to the square inch. Any piece showing defect is
rejected. 750 pounds is five times the usual pressure in
steam boilers* Think of it ! Do you wonder that this hose
is strong; that it is stiff and will not kink ?

"Hamilton" brand, our highest grade hose, selling at 25 cents
a foot, will last three to five years under ordinary greenhouse use;
it will stand three or four times as much wear as common hose.

As often happens, the high grade is the cheapest.

Under the same brands and of the same excellent qualities, we make
Hose for Suction, for Steam Service and for SprayluK.

All made especially for the service to be done and satisfaction guar-
anteed.

How to get the best hose that
is made

COME jobbers in Florists' Supplies do not sell
•** the highest-grade Greenhouse bbse. They
argue that everybody wants low-priced hose.
We know better, for we know that our stiff,
strong, tough "Hamilton" brand hose is really
4%B cheapest of all, and that many wise buy-
ers will be glad to get it. We therefore make
this offer to all who cannot buy it of a dealer :

If roar dealer doea not keep It, we will
deliver to you anywhere In the United
States, PREFAin. 0O-foot lenrtha of
'*4-inoh "HAMILTON" brand, our hich-
eHt Krade Greenhouse hose, complete
with standard brass conpllncsi for the
recolar price. $18.60 KACH LENGTH.

This splendid hose stands a pressure cf 750
pounds to the oqaare inch, and while it Is
our bltrhest-priced Oreenbouse hose. It lasts so
long that It Is really the cheapest hose made.

If hose of such extremely hlKh resistance is
not required, we will send ^4 inch KEN Bt ORE
(guaranteed 6fiO pounds) at $10.A0. or =>4.iach
CTGNET (500 pounds) at $8.00 for 50-foot

STAMFORD, CONN.

The Westchester and Fairfield Horti-
cultural Society held its regular meet-
ing in the Royal Arcanum hall, Friday
evening, August 11. President Stuart
occupied the chair and there was the
usual large attendance. One honorary
and nine active members were elected.

Many prizes have been donated for
the first annual exhibition of the soci-
ety, to be held here November 3 and 4,
and the exhibition committee is busy
with the final schedule, which will soon
be ready.

The judges' awards were:

Cultural certificate: James Stuart, Amaryllis
Belladonna; Ewen MacKenzle, bunch of grapes.

Vote of thanks: M. J. Quirk, sweet peas; A.
Whitelaw, asters in variety; Carrlllo & Baldwin,
(Jattleya Dowiana; Eugene Blondin, Cucumber
North Pole; A. Peterson, Tomato Liberty; J. B.
Andrew, ornamental pomegranate; 1'. W. Popp,
basket of cut flowers.

Each exhibitor gave a short, interest-
ing talk on the culture of his ex-
hibit. J. B. M.

NEW BEDFORD.

The Market.

Trade was good last week, princi-
pally funeral work, which used up
plenty of stock. Carnations are about
all gone and some of the growers are
now plaiuin«g,>iieir carnations from the
field. Asters retail at 35 cents per
dozen; carnations 35 cents per dozen;
roses $1 and $1.50 per dozen; gladioli
$1.50 per dozen; sweet peas 50 cents
per dozen. Sweet peas are Tjlooming
quite freely now. Asters are in full
bloom and the early varieties are still
on deck, while the late ones will be in
bloom in a week or so.

Early closing is still the rule, and a
good many of the stores close Wednes-
day noon. We need some good rains
to freshen up things a bit. Carnations
from the field are fairly good, although
the dry spell in July gave them a little
setback, so they are only of medium
size. We are having nice weather
now. W. L.

The Market.

Business is better than is usual in
August, and as one or two of. the work-
ing force in most of the stores is away
on vacation, this keeps the stay-at-
homes pretty busy. There is plenty of
stock, of its kind, to meet the demand.
The gladiolus is the most prominent
flower of the season and some pretty
varieties are on the market; Niagara
and Panama are probably the largest
flowered and the the most popular as to
color. A few short-stemmed carnations
are being sent in.

Various Notes.

Frank ,T. Eitzenthaler spent his vaca-
tion at St. Clair Flats.

Walter Witthuhn, son of Fred Witt-
huhn, had a narrow escape from being
fatallv shot on the evening of August
11. Three young bandits held him up
as he was returning home at a late
hour, and he, seeing an opportunity,
started to run. One of the outlaws at-
tempted to fire at him, but the gun
failed to explode. It was with this
same gun that a policeman was shot,
probably with fatal results, on the fol-
lowing Sunday night, according to the
confession of one of the trio.

Frank Friedley is spending his vaca-
tion as the guest of H. P. Knoble, who
is also taking a month's rest at his
summer home.

The J. M. Gasser Co. had a window
last week of Golden Glow chrysanthe-
mums .the first of the season. They
were fine specimens and attracted a
great deal of attention. This firm is
now located in its new store, on Euclid
avenue. It is one of the most attract-
ive flower stores in the city and the
style of fixtures and finish elicits much
favorable comment. Not a piece of
white enamel is to be seen in the store,
the color scheme being a grayish green,
with gold leaf.

C. D. Fell, of Knoble Bros., and John
M. Carey, of Mount Clemens, Mich.,
will open a retail flower store on Wood-
ward avenue, Detroit, about September
1. Mr. Carey was employed by the
•Tones-Russell Co. about a year ago.

The Market.

The cry for rain is being heard from
every side. The outside stock is not
such as we ought to have, but there is
no complaint in regard to asters, as
they have been running fine so far.

Business has been rather quiet, with
the exception of funeral work, which
seems to keep up well.

Various Notes.

Philip Lunden, of the firm of Olson
& Lunden, has been spending his vaca-
tion with the uniform ranks of the
K. of P. in camp at Lighthouse Point,
New Haven, Conn.

William Fischer, of the Buckland
Street Greenhouses, Milldale, is getting
along rapidly on his two new green-
houses and expects to have them fin-
ished next month.

The Blatchley Co. is busy filling and
planting its range.

Earl S, Bavier, formerly manager for
the Aitken Co., Worcester, Mass., has
moved to Marion, Conn., and has taken
over his father's range and will de-
vote his time to the wholesale grow-
ing of carnations and pot plants.

Olson & Lunden are busy planting
their houses and have them most com-
plete. They find Enchantress, Eose-
pink Enchantress, White Enchantress,
Beacon and Winsor the best paying
varieties. They are now cutting heavi-
ly in asters.

Raymond Dooley is doing up Coney
Island, N. Y., for a few days.

The Market.

Wo arc having warm weatlier and
outdoor flowers liave suffered a great
deal. Eoses are good and speciosum
lilies and sweet peas are splendid.
Pretty pans of Vernon begonias are
seen in some of the stores, but with
that exception there is a scarcity of
blooming potted plants. Ferns and
palms are largely depended upon dur-
ing this season of the year to give a
cool effect to the flower store decora-
tions.

Another Instance Where Our Kind of Curved-eave

Lean-to Solved the Problem. Chas.

Umbach Is the Gardener

It was a case of limited ground space and a tide
hill to contend with. Tbis space was on the
southern side of the stable, quite the ideal spot
for a lean-to; so we built a two-compartment,
curved-eave one and made the workroom of
regular greenhouse construction and laid the roof
with green tile. The effect is certainly great.

You see from the interior that it makes a fine

THE CLOSE AT BALTIMORE.

-»,• :*.■■-

' iBiid Of ai Fine Convention.

La^t week's big convention at Balti-
more . was reported up to Thursday
afternoon,' in the issue of The Eeview
for August 17. . It was a fine meeting
in every way. The interest was keen
in the business sessions, and it . grew
from day to day. The trades' display
was the largest yet held and the local
management and hospitalities certainly
left nothing to be desired. The work
of the closing session was as follows: .

President's Beconunendations.

The president's address had been re-
ferred to a committee consisting of W.
N. Rudd, P. Welch, F. K. Pierson, W. F.
Kasting and F. H. Traendly for con-
sideration. Mr. Budd reported that the
committee unanimously endorsed the
recommendation for the appointment
of a permanent, flower show committee
of six, the president, secretary and
treasurer to be members ex-officio, the
committee to be appointed at once and
the executive committee to fix the de-
tails and limitations of its duties. The
committee endorsed the proposition to
have the secretary appointed by the
board instead of being elected, as now.
The committee endorsed the proposal
to have the secretary act as superin-
tendent of the trades' display. The
committee hoped that at no far distant
date it would be found that the society
is in condition to «ay the secretary for
his whole time. It* was recommended
that tie proposal that the society guar-
antee half ike fund for the next na-
tional show be referred to the new
flower' show committee, with the re-
quest that a report be made at Chi-
cago. The report was adopted.

Besolutions for Mr. Bimie.

President Asmus called for a rising
vote on H- A. Bunyard's motion to
adopt resolutions on the death of John
Bimie, and the convention, as a further
mark ' of respect, stood silent one
minute. The resolutions were as fol-
lows:

Whereas, We, the Society -of American
Florists, assembled In the city of Baltimore
for the twenty-seventh annual convention,
have been grievously touched by the sudden
death of our fellow craftsman, John Blrnle,
therefore, be it

Resolved, That we, the members of the
S. A. F., feel keenly the loss of one so well
beloved, one who has been an ardent repre-
sentative of our pr'ofeBslon In advancing all
Its Interests. Be It further

Resolved, That we present this resolution
as a token of our sympathy and sincere
affection for him and condolence with his
family in this their sudden and sad bereave-
ment, and that we submit to them a copy
of these resolutions, and that the society
forward a suitable floral tribute.

'" ■ J. C. Vaughan,

R. Vincent, Jr.,
J. Otto Thilow,

Committee.

Miscellaneous Business.
The committee to which were re-
ferred the state vice-presidents' re-
ports reported that the twenty-six

reports sent in showed there is no
falling off in the interest and endeavor
of these officers, and recommended
that they be given a vote of thanks.
Adopted.

Mack Bichmond, superintendent, re-
ported that the sale of space in the
trades' display totaled $3,796.

The report of Prof. H. H. Whetzel,
the society's pathologist, was received
and ordered printed.

The report of the school gardens
committee, by Benjamin Hammond,
was read by title and ordered printed.

J. K. M. L. Farquhar, made ^. rejrort
for the committee on life members '
badges, submitting a ^esig^,. And on
his motion the mattec'^was referred to
the executive committee for further
action.

W. N. Eudd reported that the ac-
counts of the National Flower Show
had been checked so far as seemed
needful and the auditing committee
found them correct.

The amendment to the by-laws rais-
ing the life membership fee from $25 to
$50, notice of which was given in the
program, was voted down, 25 to 32.

A resolution was offered by F. R.

Pierson for the purpose of putting into
effect the recommendations of Mr.
Gude in the matter of the parcels post.
After setting forth the necessity for
the parcels post, it urged that every
member get in touch with his own rep-
resentative in Congress and make his
wishes known. Adopted. The tariff
and legislative committee was instruct-
ed to draft a letter on the subject, to
be sent by the secretary' to all the mem-
bers.

Final Besolutions.

The committee on final resolutions

presented the following report:

Whereas, The twenty-seventh annual con-
vention of the S. A. F., held In Baltimore,
has proved In all ways a succesaful and
satisfactory meeting, all promises and
pledges by our Baltimore members having
been carried out to the letter, so that we
shall leave the Monumental City with the
fondest recollections of ouc- aojourn here,
therefore, be it

Retiolved, That we tender to the florists
ot Baltimore and its public-spirited citizens
our warmest thanks for the many attentions
shown us and the hospitable ' treatment ac-
corded. We also wish to mention by name
R. L. Graham, president of the Baltimore
Gardeners' and Florists' C\\fl>, and N. F.
Flltton, Its secretary, and Its various com-
mittees as v6pr«Bented by their chairmen,
as follows: " Wm. Feast, Robt. Halliday,
Geo. Morrison, P. B. Welsh, G. O. Brown,
I. H. Moss, J. J. Perry, W. J. Johnston,
F. C. Bauer, Jas. Hamilton, J. J. Towner
and Mrs. I. H, Moss. We also tender our
heartfelt thanks to States Attorney Will-
iams, representing the governor of Mary-
land, and to his Honor, Mayor Preston. We
further desire to place on record our appre-
ciation of the efforts of the various suppl.v
houses that made attractive displays at the
convention and sent representatives here,
also the advertisers in the souvenir. We
note with pleasure the rather unusual fea-
ture of the general display of banners and
other decorations throughout the city of
Baltimore.

P. H. Traendly,

Convention Notes.

At its meeting to ratify the proposal
for a joint meeting at Detroit, Janu-
ary 10, 1912, with the American Car-
nation Society, the American Rose So-
ciety, on motion of J. K. M. L. Far-
quhar, awarded a gold medal to M. H.
Walsh in recognition of the meritorious
collection of seedling rambler roses of
his own raising exhibited at Boston
and in recognition of his sucessful
work as a hybridizer.

For the reception Thursday evening
at the Belvedere the ladies of Balti-
more furnished the splendid program
of music and recitations and the La-
dies' S. A. F. provided the refresh-
ments. While Mr. Graham was pre-
senting the trophies to the lady bowl-
ers he also presented jewels to Mrs.
Phillips, president, and Mrs. Maynard,
secretary, of .the Ladies' S. A. F. , on
behalf of the members. For the la-
dies' bowling team of Baltimore he
presented an elegant vase to Mrs L H.
Moss.

The lecture on "Ornamental Horti-
culture Abroad," by J. K. M. L. Far-
quhar, was postponed to Thursday eve-
ning, when a large audience was enter-
tained. ' Later some excellent views of
the Boston show, from photographs by
J. H. Pepper, were shown by the store-
opticon.

"Our Day."

When the Baltimore Gardeners' and
Florists' Club printed the program of
entertainments for the convention,
they designated Friday, August 18, as
"Our Day" — and printed the words in
big type. It was a big day. It took

two steamers to carry the crowd the
Baltimoreans took twenty miles down
Chesapeake bay for the outing. Just
after starting, the steamers passed fire

boat quarters, where the Deluge lay
waiting to give an exhibition of its
strength. With all eleven of its streams
turned on, it was a great floating fotin-
tain, making a picture none who saw
it ever will forget. It seemed the boat
must fairly burst with its pent-up
pcrwer, but some of the growers wanted
to take it home to syringe with. A
box lunch was served going to Tol-
chester beach, and on arrival there the
sports were started at once. While the
gunners were busy on the bluff and
the ball game was in progress back in
the field, a sudden, fierce squall blew up,
lashing the bay until its wide, dark blue
water was covered with white caps, pre-
senting a sight that remains one of the
dearest memories of the day. The wind
was followed by a torrent of rain, but
there were plenty of shelters, and in
a few minutes the sun was out again.
The gunners went back to finish their
match and the races were run on a
somewhat slippery field, but the ball
players did not go back to finish. When
interrupted the score stood: S. A. F.,
4; Baltimore Gardeners' and Florists'
Club, 0. The teams were:

S. A. F. Baltlmoro.

While at Tolchester, which is Balti-
more's Coney Island, J. K. M. L. Far-
quhar called the crowd together to lis-
ten to a little speech he wished to make
in presenting a chest of silver to Pres-
ident and Mrs. Asmus. It was the gift
of the S. A. F. members, and Mr. As-
mus responded suitably, saying in con-
clusion that he was delighted that the
convention was going to Chicago next
year, and that then he hopes to greet
everybody in his home town. He called
on B. Vincent, Jr., the president-elect,
for a speech and that popular gentle-
man expressed his appreciation of the
honor done him.

Later in the day Mr. Vincent chose a
time when the crowd was largely to-
gether to present a silver loving cup
to Robert L. Graham, president of the
Baltimore Gardeners' and Florists 'Club.
It came from the members in recogni-
tion and appreciation of the magnifi-
cent way he, as head of the club, had
handled the preparation for and con-
summation of one of the most enjoy-
able conventions in the whole history
of the 8. A. F.

Supper was served on the steamers.

a sail on the bay.

CONVENTION BOWLINO.

The bowling matches aroused some-
thing like old-time enthusiasm. The
alleys were fine and the Baltimore gen-

power, but some of the growers wanted
to take it home to syringe with. A
box lunch was served going to Tol
Chester beach, and on arrival there tlic
sports were started at once. While tlie
gunners were busy on the bluff and
the ball game was in progress back in
the field, a sudden, fierce squall blew up,
lashing the bay until its wide, dark blue
water was covered with white caps, pre
senting a sight that remains one of the
dearest memories of the day. The wind
was followed by a torrent of rain, but
there were plenty of shelters, and in
a few minutes the sun was out again.
The gunners went back to finish their
match and the races were run on a
somewhat slippery field, but the ball
jilayers did not go back to finish. When
interru])ted the score stood: S. A. ]•'..

EECIPROOITY WITH CANADA.

[A paper by Patrick Welch, of Boston,
Mass., read before the Society of American
Florists, in convention at Baltimore, August
15 to 18, 1911.]

You will observe, when reading the
program of the convention for this day,
that Mr. Mepsted, of Ottawa, is to talk
on reciprocity from the Canadian stand-
point, and that I am to submit some
remarks from the American standpoint.

I am free to say that I have no au-
thority from any number of horti-
culturists in this country to appear be-
fore this convention, give my views
on this question and have them set
forth as American principles and poli-
cies. What I may have to say on this
subject is simply an expression of my
own personal views and is to be taken
as such, until given full sanction by a
vote of the convention.

I will take only a few minutes of

your time while I refer to a question

of importance to this society, as to

whether all horticultural products of

I the United States be admitted into

■'1

.ac

AUGUST 24, 1911.

TheWcekly Florists' Review.

Canada free of duty when imported
from the United States, and, reciprocal-
ly, whether the horticultural products
of Canada be admitted to this country
free of duty when imported from Can-
ada. This cannot be brought about
except by the aid and support of the
Canadian florists on one side and the
Society of American Florists on the
other. ■

Correspondence with Mr. Ealer.

When the commissioners appointed
by the United States and Canadian
governments met in the city of Wash-
ington last winter I wrote to John G.
Esle'r, chairman of the legislative com-
mittee, as follows: "At present a
commission appointed jointly by the
Canadian and United States govern-
ments is in session at Washington, D.
C, having under consideration the
question of reciprocity. It seems to
me that it would be a benefit to the
growers of flowers to have the Cana-
dian duty on cut flowers imported from
the United States removed. This is
especially true as to New England,
because of its proximity to Quebec and
the lower provinces, where there are
no large establishments devoted to the
growing of cut flowers. Climatic con-
ditions are against them, and therefore
no special benefit can be obtained by
maintaining a tariff of twenty per cent
on imports."

Mr. Esler, in replying to this letter,
stated that there was a diversity of
opinions among the members of the
committee as to the advisability of
making any effort at that time to in-
clude horticultural products in the
reciprocity list.

Fred C Bauer.

(ChalrnuD Hotel Committee.)

Isaac H. Mots.
(Ohairman Local Sports Committee.)

I am in favor of absolute free trade
on all horticultural products between
this country and Canada. I am
strengthened in this view by the friend-
ly relations that now exist, and have
existed for several years, between
members of our society and those of
the Canadian Association.

Beasons for Beclprocity.

We ought not to overlook the fact
that the proximity of the two peoples,
of the same language, customs, habits
and needs, having similar resources and
equal abilities for normal advancement,
would enable them to supplement each
other, in the same manner as growers
in the different states of the Union.

No valid reason can be given why
any citizen, whether American or
Canadian, engaged either in the whole-
sale or retail cut flower business,
should be compelled to order goods to
come from a distance of 500 miles or
over, simply to patronize home prod-
ucts, from a spirit of patriotism, when
similar goods can be obtained across
the border much nearer home.

The perishable nature of flowers and
plants would be a strong reason why
they should be secured as near the
source of production as possible, there-
by saving expense of freight and ex-
press charges and avoiding injury to
goods while in transit, and other dan-
gers which must be carefully guarded
against if such transactions are to be
profitable.

One other reason why it would be
good policy to abolish all duties: Any
business man having experience in
shipping goods into the United States
from Canada or from the United States
into Canada realizes the many diffi-

Jlsler, chairman of the legislative com-
mittee, as follows: '"At present a
commission appointed jointly by the
Canadian and United States goverr-
Mients is in session at Washington, D.
C., having under consideration the
i|U(>stion of reciprocity. It seems to
me that it would bo a benefit to the
growers of flowers to have the Cana-
dian duty on cut flowers imported from
the United States removed. This is
csjiecially true as to New England,
liocause of its proximity to Quebec and
the lower provinces, where there are
no large establishments devoted to the
growing of cut flowers. Climatic con-
ditions are against them, and therefore
110 special benefit can be obtained by
maintaining a tariff of twenty per cent
on imports."

-Mr. Esler, in replying to this letter,
stated that there was a diversity of
opinions among the members of the
committee as to the advisability of
making any effort at that time to in-
clude horticultural products in the
rc<Mprocity list.

I am ill favor of absolute free trade
on .'ill horticultural jiroducts between
this country and Canada. I am
-•trengtheiied in this view by the friend-
ly relations that now exist, and have
existed for several years, between
niemliers of our society and those of
the < ■.•inadian Association.

Reasons for Reciprocity.

Wo ought not to overlook the fact
that the proximity of the two peoples,
of the same language, customs, habits
and needs, having similar resources and
e(pi;il abilities for normal advancement,
would enable them to supplement each
otht^r, in the same manner as growers
in the (iilTerent states of the Union.

No valicl reason can bo given why
any citizen, whether American or
< anadian, engaged either in the whole
sale or retail cut flower busines-^.
should be compelled to order goods to
come from a (listance of ;"i<)0 miles or
over, simply to patronize home prod
IK ts, from a spirit of patriotism, when
similar goods can be obtained across
the liorder much ii(>arer home.

The perishable nature of flowers and
I'laiits would be a strong reason whv
they should be secured as near the
source of ]irodiiction as possible, there
by saving expense of freight and ex
press (diarges and avoiding injurv to
goods while in transit, and other dan
gers which must be carefully guarded
against if such transactions "are to be
profitable.

One other reason why it would be
good policy to abolish all duties: Any
business man having experience in
shipping goods into the United States
from Canada or from the United States
into Canada realizes tho manv difli

culties to be surmounted and obstaclee
to be conquered in order to avoid the
delays incidental to the customs regu-
lations imposed by both governments.

The Trade in Cut Flowers.

It must be clear to the mind of any
man wha may investigate the trade in
cut flowers between the United States
and Canada covering a period of five
years ending June 30, 1910, that we
have little to lose by placing flowers
on the free list, as the following table
will show: 1.

A Quotation from President Taft.

I believe there is a strong sentiment
in this society in favor of closer rela-

natural products without an obstruct-
ing or prohibitory tarififf"

Therefore, Mr. President, I am in
favor of this question being submitted
to the convention for consideration,
and would suggest that, after a rea-
sonable time has been given to debatje,
the matter be referred to the proper
committee of the Society of American
Florists, with instruction^ to prosecute
further negotiations with the Canadian
florists so that the prohibitory tariff
may be removed.

I believe it will not materially
change the price of any article on our
list, but instead will open the way for
a larger and more profitable inter-
course between the producers of plants
and flowers in this country and their
brethren in Canada.

THE PRIVATE GABDENEB.

[A paper by William Duckbam, of Madl-
Kon, N. J., read before the Society of
American Florists, In convention at Balti-
more, August 15 to 18, 1911.]

I was much surprised and pleased to
receive from your secretary an invita-
tion to Tead a paper on the subject of
"The Gardener." I am also glad to
note that your society has honored my

Albert G. Fiedler.

(Souvenir Committee.)

tions. We all know this sentiment is
strong throughout the land, as proved
by the vote of both houses of Congress
at the present session. The President
of the United States, in a message to
Congress recently, stated the follow-
ing: "We have reached a stage in our
own development that calls for a
statesmanlike and broad view of our
future economic status and its require-
ments. Ought we not, then, to ar-
range a commercial agreement with
Canada, if we can, by which we shall
have direct access to her supply of

profession — the first time, I believe, in
the history of your organization that
it has been directly and distinctly rec-
ognized. This may partly account for
the lack of interest of the gardeners
in your society and their failure to be-
come members in large numbers. Not
to my knowledge has there been a gen-
eral appeal to the gardeners to join
the S. A. P.

For some reason or other only a few
gardeners hold membership in the S. A.
F., although the idea prevailing in the
minds of some, that they are not want-

ed, is erroneous. Fundamentally the sor
ciety is a trade organization, and the
mere addition of "Ornamental Horti-
culturists" to the society's title h&s
added but few members.

The national flower shows held in the
past have been well supported by the
gardeners, and their exhibits have been
much appreciated by your society.
These exhibitions should be well sup-
ported by every one in the allied trades
and professions in which we are so
much interested, and I trust that many
such exhibitions will be held in the
future.

Gardeners Who Became Florists.

The relation between the private gar-
dener and the florist is intimate, and is
easily traced, for yoU have only to look
in any direction and you will find some
of the most successful florists of this
country who have graduated from the
ranks of private gardeners. It is not
my intention to enumerate all of them,
any more than it is to omit any names,
but a few come to my mind who start-
ed their careers as private gardeners,
and such training as they then received
is admitted by them to have always
been a help to them in their business.

Their names, as they come to me at
this time, are J. N. May, E. G. Hill>
J. K. M. L. Farquhar, Thomas Boland,
Peter Fisher, F. L. Atkins, A. T. Bod-
dington and C. H. Totty, and, unless I
am mistaken, the late Peter Henderson
started his career as a private gardener
and perhaps gave more and better ad-
vice to young men than any one else,
and many today, whether florists or
gardeners, owe to him a large measure
of their success, and all over this broad
land his influence is still felt.

The private gardener has done his
part in the development and advance-
ment of this country, both directly and
indirectly, for, in looking after an es-
tate, he generally takes a keen delight
in having his place well kept, growing,
and producing flowers, vegetables and
fruits, and endeavoring to have all this
a little better than his neighbor. Then,
again, where there are places of this
kind the community in general and the
trade benefit by it. I have never yet
heard any one say that he did not love
flowers, no matter how much he might
dislike some other things, and those-
who can not have a large garden can
at least imitate those of larger propor-
tions; therefore I claim the work of
the gardener has a most refining and
broadening influence in every locality,
and has done much toward making this-
a better land and a better world.

Lack of Interest in Hybridizing.

Though the private gardener has done
much for horticulture, there remains
much he could do, and I refer to the
most interesting branch of hybridizing.
Something has been done, I admit, but
in my opinion he has neglected his op-
portunities. The cause of all this I am
unable to explain, but it occurs to me
that the most of it can be laid to in-
difference or lack of interest, for surely
a number of gardeners have the time
and conveniences and it can not be said
he does not know how. There might
have been some excuse for this some
twenty or thirty years ago, but condi-
tions have greatly changed since then.
I do not mean by this that gardeners
are any better today, but there are
many more large estates where oppor-
tunities present themselves that were-

not in evidence at that time, and I urge
the gardeners to give this more con-
sideration and do their part toward the
advancement of horticulture.

One has not to look far to see what
can be done." For example, the roses
raised by W. H. Walsh in the last few
years have startled the world. I am
unable to say how much time and
thought Mr. Walsh devoted to this
work, but if he spent his whole life in
it he would feel well repaid in gfiving
to the world varieties of roses that
otherwise might never have been born.
All honor to the man who raised Ex-
eelsa. Delight, Lady Gay, Hiawatha,
etc., and who at this time, I believe,
is in the ranks of the private garden-
ers. Then let us take courage and set
our minds to doing something that will
be a joy and pleasure to others as well
as to ourselves.

Grasping Opportunities.

Novelties always attract the gardener
and you will find him among the first
to try or test these. No matter whether

flowers, vegetables or plants, he is ever
eager to secure them. Hence the lack
of interest or utter indifference which
I have mentioned seems inexplicable
and almost criminal. Then let us
create ov at least try to improve some
flower or plant.

Since the gardener has become better
known and more generally appreciated
by his employer, a mutual good-feeling
has sprung up between the two. This is
true in a great many ways and is as
it should be, and comes as the first aid
to our social and moral status. In our
profession let the man who has the op-
portunity endeavor, by precept and ex-
ample, to exert over the less informed,
and particularly over the young men
under his charge, that moral influence
that is so n£cessary for the upbuilding
of our honored calling. For they are
the men who will be called upon to
carry on the work when we are com-
pelled to lay it down. Whether we be
florists or gardeners, let us beware that

we grasp more of our opportunities and
take our stand where we rightfully be-
long.

The need of the times seems to be a
scheme or scope of operations in which
all interests should unite for horticul-
tural advancement. For instance, a na-
tional society such as we have might
!be enlarged to the extent of founding
and maintaining a garden after the
manner of the Royal Horticultural So-
ciety of England, at Wisley, and pre-
viously at Chiswick, gardens that for
over fifty years have done excellent
work, such as we need to have in this
country. Instead of pleading with state
legislatures for appropriations and
greenhouses at state experiment sta-
tions, could not more and better work
of this kind be done in a garden be-
longing to our society, with a stafif of
practical men?

A Training School for Young Men.

And consider what a training school
for young men such a garden would
be, and the beneficial results that would
follow as efficient, well trained men
would become available for positions in
private or commercial places. Our

ranks are being constantly recruited by
importations from Europe, because of
the degree of efficiency these recruits
possess. We lack the facilities to give
our young men practical training in a
manner that appeals to them, with the
assurance of an endorsement upon
proved competency; this would also be
a substantial aid to material advance-
ment.

The working staff of the Eoyal Horti-
cultural Society's garden is largely
composed of students, who, for a small
remuneration, work and study with fa-
cilities not to be had in the ordinary
private and commercial place. Perhaps
the best testimony to the efficiency of
the Royal Horticultural Society's woYk
along these lines is that it has been
continuous for over fifty years, that the
trials of fruits, vegetables and flowers
conducted therein have been most bene-
ficial to horticulture and a large number

of the K. H. S. men hold positions of
prominence in all parts of the world;
one ofj^hem is a director of the S. A. F.
at tlufl-time and another is prominently
mentioned for your jJresidency.
i This, it seems to me, at some future
time could be started in some good and
practical way by the members of this
splendid organization. There are men
who would be willing to finance such
a project; there are plenty of them in
the S. A. F., and it would greatly help
the florist and gardeper in the ever in-
creasing and perplexing question of se-
curing efRcient help.

Some may say, "While there are
plenty of men coming from the other
side, what is the use of all this?"
But it must be remembered that a good
deal of chaff gets in with the wheat.

Amalgamation with the S. A. F.

I have failed to know the reason why
so few gardeners are members of the
S. A. F. Perhaps it is because each
locality has its own local society and
they think that membership in it is all
that is necessary and feel content with
local condition's, but the effects of such

a course are soon evident and their
usefulness is likely to be narrowed
rather than broadened. If it. were pos-
sible for all the societies to. amalgamate
with the S. A. F.— and I see no reason
for not doing so— then I believe our lo-
cal societies would also be incorporated
with it and then perhaps the gardeners
would become a part of the S. A. F.,
as in my opinion they should be. /

Several attempts have already been
made, I believe, to form a gardeners '
society and one has been organized, but
with what degree of success I do not
kijow. At any rate, I believe, the time
to be opportune for such a consolida-
tion of florists and gardeners for the
best interests of all, and one that would
make of our S. A. F. such a national
organization as would easily" become
the greatest of its kind in the world.

In conclusion I might say that I will
do all in my power to advance the in-
terests of your society, and ; will also
endeavor to interest as many of my pro-
fession as possible and explain to them
the broadness and scope of your organ-
ization and the good work it is carry-
ing on.

I SEASONABLE

l'^^^^ SUGGESTIONS ^

1

Show Pelargoniums.

The old plants of show pelargoniums
which have had several weeks of rest
should have been pruned before now.
If not already cut back, do so at once.
Do not immediately commence to soak
them with wateT, or the chances are
that some will rot off altogether. Spray
several times a day. When they have
commenced to break nicely shake them
out, loosen the soil well, cut back the
long roots and repot into pots about
two sizes smaller than they have been
growing in. They can stand outdoors
for some time yet, but' are better if
placed so that sashes can be stood
over them in case of drenching rains.
A suitable compost is one consisting
of two parts fibrous loam and one
])art old cow manure or spent mush-
room manure, with the aaaition of some
sharp sand. Cuttings put in when the
plants were headed back root and grow
quickly. Keep these potted along, so
that they will not become too matted
with roots.

Bouvardias.

Bouvardias are somewhat tender
winter-flowering plants and they should
be lifted and repotted before there is
any danger of frost. Do not attempt
to lift a large ball, as you will only
break off more roots in doing so. It
is well to get all possible roots, to pot
firmly and to keep sprayed and shaded
for a few days, when they will soon
strike out new roots and stop wilting.
B. Humboldtii flowers naturally out-
doors in August and September and
some plants can be left out to provide
an early crop of flowers, but it is better
to stake them up a little; otherwise
heavv rain storms will soil the flowers.

This bouvardia can be benched in a
warm house, and when thus planted it
can be relied upon to give a fine crop
of flowers on excellent stems until
Christmas and will also, if left, give
another spring crop. This variety
flowers more persistently than any
other variety and is sweet scented.
Its flowers, also, are larger than those
of any other bouvardia.

Bambler Boses.

Do not neglect the watering of ram-
bler roses that are being grown in
pots. Remember that they are now
growing and rooting strongly, and liq-
uid manure, in addition to copious water
supplies, is necessary to finish their
growth satisfactorily. Keep the shoots
tied up. This is particularly necessary
with the pink varieties, which are nat-
urally of a prostrate habit in most
cases; at least. Lady Gay, Dorothy
Perkins and others are of this class,
while Tausendschon is more erect in
habit. Even where the ramblers are
planted out in the field it pays to tie
up the shoots, as the wood then ripens
much better. Light fences are as sim-
ple a method of support as I have used;
this, of course, means a little additional
work, but it pays in the long run.
Keep rubbing off the surplus shoots
which will continue to start from the
pink ramblers of the Dorothy Perkins
class. Three to five shoots per plant
are ample; rub away all others.

French Trumpet Majors.

If you are growing the trumpet nar-
cissi and want a batch for the Christ-
mas holidays, do not depend on the
Dutch grown bulbs. These may be had,
of course, but it is doubtful whether

it pays to force them unduly, as many
will not flower, and even at 5 cents and
6^ cents per flower, wholesale, they
^I'not pay so well as they would at
akfi these prices three weeks later. The
French bulbs have been here for some
days and there is no trouble at all in
flowering Trumpet Major, Goldea Spur
and Bnjperor for Christmas. They are
rather snorter stemmed than the Dutch
bulbs, but flower satisfactorily and are
well wprthy of a trial by any who
have uQt^ yet grown them. They have
been iiiuiprted in larger quantities than
usual this season.

Sweet Peas.

Probably sowings of sweet peas have
already been made by growers who
want an early indoor crop. I have
found that while there is an avalanche
of mums these do not sell well, but if a
crop is timed to come in after Thanks-
giving the flowers will be in much
more active demand. Judging from
inquiries .which come to hand from
time to titne, some beginners in indoor
sweet pea culture are yet uncertain as
to the best varieties to plant. The
Spencer peas are not adapted for early
forcing at all; do not plant any of
them unless you have ample head room
for them and are prepared to wait for
a spring crop. Neither are any of the
outdoor reliables, such as Dorothy Eck-
ford, Helen Lewis, Frank Dolby, Lady
Grisel Hamilton and King Edward VII,
of any value to sow now. The race of
winter flowering sorts, of which Mont
Blanc and Earliest of All were among
the first introduced, are what, should
be sown.

A suitable list has been given many
times, but so many new growers are
this season essaying sweet pea culture
indoors for the first time that it may
be well to give a select list of reliable
winter bloomers. In white there is
Mont Blanc, Christmas White, Florence
Denzer and Watchung. In clear pink
of varying shades we have Christmas
Pink, the most popular variety of all;
Mrs. W. W. Smalley, of a satiny shade,
and Mrs. Wm. Sim, of a lovely salmon
color. Wallacea and Mrs. A. Wallace
are splendid lavenders and Flamingo
is a good scarlet. Pure white, clear
pink and lavender are the shades most
in demand.

Sweet peas can be flowered success-
fully on raised benches, and in the dead
of winter they flower satisfactorily if
they have the needed head room. Solid
beds are, however, what they do best
in. They should have a foot of good
soil, liberally enriched with cow or sta-
ble manure, well decayed. The drain-
age should be good. If sowing in drills,
thin out the seedlings to four inches
apart. If they are left unthinned the
result will be weak flower stems. Many
growers sow in flats and transplant.
I prefer this method to sowing in drills.
It gives an even row and there is little
waste. The rows can be anywhere from
three to six feet apart, preferably
lengthwise of the house; the more
head room, the better. In the case of
the wide rows allowance is made for
other crops, such as violets, which are
pulled out in late winter. Where peas
only are grown the rows can be closer.

The question is often asked, "Do
winter sweet peas pay wellt" Much de-
pends on how the plants are grown
and on whether there is a ready retail
market for them or not. When they
have to be wholesaled, it is doubtful
whether they return as much money

M Mme other crops. There is undoubt-
edly the most monisy in sweet peas that
are sown to flower from the end of Feb-
ruary until the outdoor crop comes in.
The demand is stronger then, the qual-
ity is better and the plants seem to
flower mueh more freely; so, personally,
if I were growing sweet peas for a
livelihopd I would prefer to have them
follow feme crop which would be clean- »,
ed from the end of Nov«nber to the i k
end of January.

*'What temperature should they
havel" iirani almost every-day^ query
notr. They can be grown as low as
40 or 42 degrees at night, but to do
their best should have a temperature,
5 to 8 degrees higher, and while flow-
ering they should be kept as near 48 to
50 degrees at night as possible. I
would not advise anything above 50 de-
grees, for while they will bloom well in
such a temperature they will also run
out more quickly and fall a more easy
prey to mildew, spider and iphis, all
of which must be guarded against.

Freesias.

Most of the freesia bulbs are now
at hand. They need not all be planted
at once, but the bulbs not potted or
placed in flats should be spread out in
a cool, dry shed. It does not pay to
keep freesias out of the soil very late.
Probably you have noticed how much
longer and stronger the stems are on
the early planted ones than on those
started, say in October. Be careful
not to overwater after potting. There
are many bulbs irretrievably ruined
every year by too m^vch. water in the
early stages of grow|fc-«nd incidentally
many of these failWes, due to igBor-
ance of cultural^ requirements, are
charged to the dealers, who are blamed
for selling diseased stock.

Calceolarias.

The nights are now getting cooler,
and calceolarias, which standjil^racti-
cally still during the torrid weather,
are commencing to make some growth.
Keep them in a coldframe, with air
on the top, bottom and sides. Fumi-
gate or spray to keep aphis in control.
They should never really be allowed to
get any foothold, as they soon ruin a
batch of plants. Take off the sashes
in the evening; the heavy night dews
at this season are just what they revel
in. They have some other enemies,
besides green aphis. If snails attack
then, Bse lime. Hand-pick any cater-
pillars, as poison cannot be used with-
out disfiguring or burning the leaves.

Lilinm Candidnm.

Lilium candidum usually arrives from
August 20 to September 1. Do not leave
them in the boxes or baskets a day
after receiving them. If you can not
pot or plant at once, stand the bulbs
in single layers in flats and place them
in a cool room. Bemember that the
Madonna lily, as this is commonly
called, started to root and make leaves
quite early; not infrequently they will
$e found in active growth when un-
packed. Do not put single bulbs in a
pot, as you would Harrisii or longi-
florum. Use three to an 8-inch and
four or flve to a 10-inch pot. Use a
compost that is fairly rich, with plenty
of sand. Give one soaking of water;
then let the soil become quite dry be-
fore applying any more. Do not put
them in a cellar or under the green-

house bench. Keep outdoors, but
where they can be protected from rains
until they are well rooted. Leave them
outdoors until they have had several
good freezings. Herein lies much of the
secret of successful candidum eulture.
When ordering, insist on being supplied
with north-of-France bulbs only; they
are the true broad petaled type. The
brand commonly offered is a narrow
petaled and miserable sort, sufficient to
discourage anyone from growing them
a seppnd time.

V^*^ ; Berried Solannmi..-

. About the last of the month is a
good time to dig up and pot the berried
solanums,,or J^rusalejn, cherries, an^

Christmas peppers. Try to retain a
little soil on the roots. Soak well with
water after potting and give some
shade, , with abundant spraying, until
they stiffen up, which will not take
long. Owing to the dry season, the
plants may run a little smaller than
-usual and, except in the more northerly
States, the lifting can be delayed until
the middle of September if desired.
Plants which were pot-grown over sum-
mer and which are, or should be,
plunged, will want lots of water, and
now that berries are becoming nu-
merous and there is more of a drain
on the soil, they should have liquid
manure twice a week. .

BOBEBT PYLE IN EUEOPE.

[RecoHectlons of an Irffervlew with :Hobt'jt
Pyle, president of the Conanl & Jones Co..
West Grove, Pa., as reported by Phil, The
Review'* correspondent. Mr. Pyle gives an
account of some of his recent experiences In
Prance and England. The Illustrations are re
produced from photographs taken by Mr. Pjlo
himself.]

We <fiailed June 3, going directly to
Paris, where we arrived June 12, in
good time for the judging of the roses,
June 14. You know I was selected as
one of the judges of new roses sent to
the Bagatelle for trial, and went at
that particular time to keep the ap-
pointment. There ,. were . twenty-five
judges in all — one each from England,
Germany, Luxemburg, the Netherlands
and America, the remainder from
France. The English representative
was Arthur "William Paul, present head
of the firm of "William Paul & Son, and
son of the founder. The German rep-
resentative was Peter Lambert, the
largest rose grower in Germany. The
French rose growers were mostly ex-
pert rosarians. The rules provide that
one of their number shall be .a mem-
ber of -^the Chamber of Efeputiies and
that he shall be president of this com-
mission of fudges. The American rep-
resentative was chosen vice-president.
But while the commission is organizing
I want to tell you something about
these rose gardens.

Bose Gardens of the Bagatelle.

Marie Antoinette, the beautiful
queen of France, selected about six
acres of the Bois de Boulogne, which
she set apart for her own use. This
tract was laid out and improved and
named by the queen ' ' Le Bagatelle. ' '
After the downfall of royalty the Bag-
atelle was sold, but was finally bought
by the French government.

liert . Mon^ieui^_< Jules , Grevereau,
who is one of the present commission
of judges, came upon the scene. M.
Grevereau is a man of wealth who
made money on the Bon Marche before
retiring fi^om business. At his invita-
tion Mrs. Pyle and I spei^t a whole day
in his rose gardens and rise museum at
L'Haye, ten miles from Paris. This
gai^n is won^erf lih It contains a
great number of varieties, carefully
arranged in groups of families. Then
there yvere standards, pyramids, trel-
lises, arbors, every known way in
which the rose can be grown. Marble
fountains, with roses, lent their charm
to this perfect garden. The museum

uearljy was also devoted to the rose,
showing the part played by the queen
of flowers in the arts and sciences;
showing, also, the history of the rose,
famous pictures of roses (Paul de
Longpre was among the artists), the
uses to which roses have been put,
botany and chemistry in so far as
they apply to roses; color, its causes,
combinations and possibilities — in
short, everything pertaining to the rose.
M. Grevereau 's office was in the mu-
seum. It was 'evident that he was a
busv man.

A Pleasant Surprise.

But the greatest treat of all came
as a surprise. "When M. Grevereau in-
vited us he indicated a' preference for
a certain day. We changed our plahs
to meet his wish, but the reason for
his preference was not apparent until
some time alter he had left us to roam
through the garden, when we heard a
clapping at one end. We followed the
sound and came suddenly on a theater.
The stage was of turf elevated to the
proper' height. Terraces led to the or-
chestra. In front were rows of vel-
vety turf seats, filled by dainty French
ladies in Parisian costumes. There
were at least 400 in the audience.
Overhead were tall trees, shading the
whole theater, while at the side were
the lovely trellises of roses; dark ever-

greens behind the stage completed the
picture of rare beauty.

But to return, M. Grevereau, evi-
dently realizing that his own garden
would become too small to test the
new roses that came out each year, in-
duced the French government to under-
take the work at Le Bagatelle. Here
new roses are received each year from
the introducers. Carefully tested, the-
good are honored and the poor dis-
carded. The labeling is most carefully
burnt on porcelain, clear and enduring;
name, date, history and introducer are
all shown. Good judgment has been,
used in the laying out and planting of
beds.

When the commission was organized"
we all went out to judge the roses.
They were divided into two groups —
those presented in 1910, brought there
the year before and now on their sec-
ond year's trial, and those presented
this year for the first time; they were
brought here a year ago. The work
was a little difficult, as I do not speak
French, nor could they speak English,
but they were most courteous, and by
the aid of an interpreter and close"
study of the numbers we got on pretty-
well.

Bose Judging, as Done in France.

The French manner of judging i»
different from ours. Ten is their high-
est number of points. These points are
awarded on general impression. When
opinions differ a vote is taken. For
instance, someone proposes that the
rose under consideration shall receive
eight points; someone else suggests
seven; a vote is then taken on the spot.
There were from three to six plants
of each variety. The awards were
made on their appearance on that four-
teenth day of June only, although any-
thing that was said by anyone familiar
with the variety was listened to with
interest. I understand that the French
judges assemble once again latdr in the
season, for examination, but not for
awards.

"When we had finished outdoors, we
returned to the Orangery to make the
awards. The gold medal was given
to two varieties presented this year:
Beaute de Lyon Pernetiana, ten points,,
and Jonkheer J. L. Mock, hybrid tea
from Holland, ten points. Two eertill-
cates of merit were awarded : To Bayon
d'Or Pernetiana, nine points, and to
May Miller, hybrid tea, E. G. Hill Co.,

the varieties were not in bloom and
could not be judged.

The English Shows.

We visited three of the leading
flower shows in England: The Crystal
Palace, the Botanic Gardens and — best
of all, -from a rosarian's point of view
— the Olympic show of the Eoyal Hor-;
ticultural Society. The interest taken
in them was amazing. The Crystal
Palace opened at noon. At ten min-
utes pasi' twelve there were 2,000 in
there. Twenty minutes later there
was a row of carriages, motors and
buses a square long waiting to dis-
charge their occupants at the entrance.
The price of admission was 7 shillings.
The crowd at the seedling rose tent in
the Olympic show was in double line
of twenty-five all day; that is, fifty
people were waiting to get into the
tents all the time. When inside they
walked around a table twenty feet long
and then out again. This was only one
small tent in a large show.

The exhibits were numerous and fine.
At the Olympic show there were twelve
entries in the class for seventy-two va-
rieties, and as many entries in the
classes for thirty-six varieties and in
in the class for twenty-four. Most of
the varieties shown were garden sorts.
Visitors frequently took down notes,
while many of the exhibitors did a
thriving business.

The arrangements were interesting.
Carter had a Japanese garden in which
every detail was thoroughly carried
out. A table decoration with a single
bowl of Lyon roses wjis effective.

You know the shows present an un-
usual opportunity for advertising,
\yhich the large firms use to the ut-
most. Many of them keep a dozen men
constantly employed on exhibition
work during the show season. Hugh
Dickson told me that he had crossed
the channel eleven times in fourteen
days, taking flowers from his nurseries
near Belfast, Ireland, to the English
shows.

Preparing Boses for Exhibition.

T was surprised at the labor that is
expended on the roses that are to be
shown. At some of the nurseries the
men go out as early as 4 o'clock in the
morning to cut and prepare the roses.

'William Paul, Waltham Cross/. England, and his Juliet Rose.

A piece of candle wick is often wrap-
ped about a promising bud that is like-
ly to be ready ahead of time. This
holds the bud firmly without squeezing
'it. It is allowed to remain on after
the flower is cut and is removed five
minutes before the judges begin work;
so the rose is judged at its best. An-
other device used is a cone-shaped
cover that will transmit light, but not
heat. By the aid of a spring and stick
this shade can be adjusted at any
height desired over the bud that is in-
tended for exhibition. Everything that
is fit is cut by the men. Then it is
brought before the head of the estab-
lishment, who decides whether it shall
or shall not go to the exhibition.

I was impressed by the love for and
knowledge of plants shown by the Eng-
lish people. The man of business who
has a half holiday often works in his
garden. He goes there when he is
through with his work in the evening.
I was asked questions by amateurs
that showed me that they knew more
than I did about the plants in their
gardens. I am inclined to think that
there are ten amateur gardeners in
England today to every one in this
country.

STEM-BOT OF ASTEBS.

Having read the communication of
D. E. in The Review of August 3, page
14, I wish to say that I had about
the same trouble as D. E., except that
my asters are outdoors. They are of
the American late branching type.
They were doing well up to the time
of the opening of the buds, when the
buds commenced to wilt. On pulling
up the plants I found that the stems
just at the surface of the soil on some,
and on others about two inches above,
had the appearance of dry rot. They
were planted in good, rich soil and
received good cultivation from the
time of starting. Would you kindly
tell me the cause of the troxiblet

A. A.

The stem-rot with which your plants
have been troubled is undoubtedly
caused by a fungus, the origin of which
is not properly known, but it is gen-
erally believed to have its inception
in the seed bed. The asters thus at-
tacked wilt and finally die. An ex-'
amination of the stems shows them to
be discolored and rotten just above the
soil. From the fact that experiments
made have shown outdoor-raised asters
to be almost immune from this disease,
the theory which is the most plausible
would seem to be that seedlings raised
under glass contract the trouble in the
seed flats or benches, or even after
trpinsplantation. Overcrowding in the
seed flats, a too long delay in pricking
off the little plants and burying the
stems too deeply will all undoubtedly
tend to promote stem-rot.

It is perhaps curious that plants af-
fected with this trouble in the seed-
ling stage should fail to show signs
of it until so far advanced in growth,
but other plants besides asters act in
just this same way. I regret inability
to suggest any remedy for stem-rot
when once it has appeared, but think
it can be avoided if great care is taken
with the seedlings. SoW rather thinly
in coldframes or outdoors. Do not let
the seedlings become drawn or crowded
and give them, whenever possible,
fresh ground each year. Never plant
asters a second time on ground on
which stem-rot has appeared. C. W.

AUQTJST 24, IMl.

BOBEBT J. WINDLEB.

Bobert J. Windier, who was elected
president of the St. Louis Florists'
Club, August 10, is one of the young
hustlers of the club and deserves the
high honors bestowed upon him by the
mepbers.

He was born in St. Louis twenty-
seven years ago. Fifty y^ars ago his
grandfather built a greenhouse for his
own private use, which his father after-
ward tmrned into a commercial place
and which became the nucleus of what
is now a good-sized plant, conducted by
his brother, George. Robert J. is, there-
for0, a born florist. His retail store,
which he opened six years ago at 2300
South Grand avenue, is one of the lead-
ing flower stores in that part of the
city.

In selecting Mr. "Windier as presid-
ing officer of the club for the coming
year, the members made no mistake,
as he has already demonstrated his
executive ability, and there is no doubt
that the affairs of the club will be
wisely and successfully directed by
him, as they have been for the last
twenty-five years by his predecessors.

PANSIES FOB SFBING TBADE.

Improvement in Size and Beauty.

As bedding plants, pansies seem to
be steadily increasing in popularity.
This is not at all surprising. They

flowers, but the increase in size, so
far from giving us coarser blooms, has
rather made their appearance more re-
fined. Some there are, and the num-
bers of such are on the increase, who
do not loVe the pansies as they do the
violas. The latter are smaller, it is
true, but they are splendid to use as
a groundwork for bulbous plants, and
anyone who has seen, theqi in the public
parks of London, Glasgow or Edin-
burgh must have been carried away
with their beauty and have wished that
it were possible to flower them in the
same way here.

There are a good many people who,
if they purchase any flowering plants
at all in spring, will select pansies, and
the retail florist who can grow a few
thousands of them and put them up
attractively in little baskets for his
customers will have little trouble in
disposing of them. While there are
some who would buy baskets of one spe-
cial color, there are probably ten times
the number who would prefer a mix-
ture of colors, and for this reason nearly
all the big specialists in pansies grow
mixtures principally. It would, how-
ever, pay to grow separate shades,
where the grower could use them in <
beds for special color effects.

Sowing the Seed.

Seed will have been sown before now
in nearly all sections, but if there are
any who have omitted doing so, there
is still time to get nice little plants

are easily raised from seed; they are
either winter hardy or can be carried
over with the aid of coldframes; they
flower early, soon after winter's snows
have melted, and if given a reasonable
amount of care will flower more or less
all suipimer. The plants, also, are florrf -
erous and the improvement in the
strains has not only given us larger

of New York, for pansies are cool and
moisture-loving subjects and make their
most rapid growth after the end of
August, when cool nights with heavy
dews are our lot. Reference has been
made in previous issues of The Review
to the best varieties of pansies to grow,
and if seed is secured from % reliable

dealer little fear need be felt on this
score.

Some growers, especially those who
want at most a few thousands of plants,
sow in coldframes, "^jut the big spe-
cialists, who handle many hundreds of
thousands, sow outdoors. Excellent
plants can be produced by either meth-
od if care is taken in the preparation
of the soil and the soil is artificially
watered, shaded, or, better still, moist-
ened from the skies. It pays to mulch
the seed beds with straw or hay when
they are outdoors, removing the cov-
ering gradually as the seeds germinate.
Straw is better than hay, as it. gives
fewer weed seeds. If the beds are kept
moist and the soil has been well pul-
verized in advance, the little pansies
should be nicely up in ten to fourteen
days.

Culture in the Field.

Even in the cold northern states on
the Atlantic seaboard pansies can be
successfully wintered outdoors, and
noted specialists, like the late D. Zim-
giebel, who was one of the pioneers in
pansy culture on a large scale, and all
others who raise them in large quan-
tities, sow outdoors and also winter
their plants in the open, except in the
case of some choice, special strains.

Some there are who sow thinly and
do not transplant, but if strong plants
are wanted they must be given a rea-
sonable amount of room to grow in.
Where space is limited, well enriched
beds three and one-half feet wide an-
swer well. Each bed can contain six
rows and the plants can be four inches
apart in the rows. Grown thus, they
have a chance to 4evelop into strong
flowering plants. If field space is more
abundant, rows fifteen inches apart, to
permit the use of a hand cultivator,
answer well. Wherever transplanted,
it is safest to use ground with at least
a gentle slope, where water will not
stand. The plants should be kept stirred
while the growing season lasts, and
the winter covering should n6t go on
until the ground is hard frozen. Do
not mulch heavily. For covering,
straw, meadow hay, leaves and pine
needles are all excellent. Where the
two latter are abundant and can be
held in place with brush of some kind
or with com stalks, there is nothing
better, but straw or hay n geaemlly
used on big plantings.

Wintering Them In Frames.

It is far better, however, for the
small grower to winter his plants in
coldframes. By using soil well en-
riched with rotted manure, grand
plants can be obtained with trifling
care. Transplant them to the frames
when of sufficient size. A sash 3x6 will
give ample space for 200 plants. Keep
Ihevsi we^ed and -watered and exposed
to the weather antpl sharp, ftost tight-
ens the ground. Then give 'a light
covering of perfectly dry pine, needles
or leaves and put on the sash^. If a
warm spell occurs in winter,- ^||^- out
a little, but in the colder stfUes they
will need no attention until" early in
March, when the covering oAn be re-
moved, the soil loosened and the beds
soaked with water. The plants will
be as fresh and green as when covered
up, unless the mulch has hecQfae wet,
which causes them to damp off.. .

The man who wants an ^riy lot
of pansies can lift them from his
frames and plant them in a cool house.
He always has an adrantage. over

those whose stock is outdoors. Climatic
conditions can not affect his plants in
the least and he will have plants in
flower considerably earlier than when
they are outdoor grown. Also, if his
beds have been properly enriched, he
will have larger and more luxuriant
plants. The pansy loves a cool, meist
and Tich soil, and if fancy flowers are
desired a lot of water must be given.
No fire heat is needed for them at any
time, unles winter flowers are wanted.
Thertf aSe probably more pansy plants
sold than of geraniums, coleus and al-
temantheras combined. They are not
likely to wane in popular favor, as
anyone can grow them, and the fact
that their flowers come so soon after
winter has passed makes them appeal
to every flower lover, and the florist
who stocks up heavily on pansies for

BAWLINOS' PANSIES.

Doubtless the bulk of the pansy seed
still comes from Germany, but at many
widely separated places in the United
States florists are building up a profit-
able side line in growing pansy seeds
for sale to the trade. In the majority
of cases the seed industry has grown
from the business of supplying pansy
plants in spring. Thousands of florists
sell baskets of pansy plants at planting
time. Many buy these baskets, ready
for sale, from a grower who produces
pansy plants in quantity. Where a
florist is supplying a large list of other
florists with these Tjiaskets of pansy
plants, and when ne -Works up a first-
class strain, he begins to receive in-
quiries for the seied. Pretty soon tho
sale of seed becomes almost as impor-
tant an item as the sale of plants. It
was thus with ' Elmer Rawlings, of
Olean, N. Y. He has been twenty years
at it.

tions shows a partial view of one of

which was a little late for the best
showing of bloom. The other picture

grows quite a list of named sorts and
has worked up several private strains
through the testing of everything new
that appears in the pansy world.

Easter Sunday comes April 7 next

they must be held quite cool. It is a
common practice to stand them out-
doors after placing them in pots, pans
or flats, to keep them well watered and
stand them in a frame, where they can
be covered sufficiently deep with ashes
or loam to exclude frost, with the as-
sistance of a covering of straw. This
plan may answer well, but there are

some objections to it. You can not
tell in what condition your bulbs are.
either in growth or in regard to moist-
ure, and it is sometimes disagreeable
to take them out. If you have a cold,
dry cellar, I would advise placing them
there, in preference to outdoors. Do
not cover them too soon with ashes
or soil. Keep them well watered until
covered. You can hold your bulbs in
such a cellar perfectly well in your
latitude. C. W.

OIQANTEUM PLANTS DIE.

Will you please tell me the best
way to handle Lilium giganteumf 1
have planted them the last two years
and have grown them as high as two
feet, when the foliage would start to
turn yellow and the whole plant would
decay. On digging them up, I would
find them full of little white lice. I
have noticed the same lice on the im-
ported bulbs before being planted. Is
there any way of killing them, with-
out hurting the bulbs? A. A.

Lilium longifiorum giganteum is not*
much the most widely grown form of
the Easter lily. The bulbs do not ar-
rive as early as the other types, and
when we get an early Easter they
need quite hard forcing to flower them
on time. The lice referred to I do
not know about. Should you see theno
again, I would advise rolling the bulbs
in flowers of sulphur before pottihg.
Should they appear in spite of this,
water the plants with tobacco water.
You can soak tobacco stems and lise
the liquid, or dilute one of the special
nicotine preparations.

Pot the giganteums as soon as you
get them. Use 5-inch and 6-inch pots,
according to the size of the bulbs; gen
erally 5-inch ones are used. Do not
make the mistake of starting them
too cool. Place them in a temperature
of 55 degrees at night in a cellar, in
a shed or under a greenhouse bench,
clear of drip. After the first watering
keep them on the dry side until the
pots are nicely filled with roots, and
shoots are appearing; then give them
a mimimum temperature of 65 degrees
■ right along, and even more if neces-
sary after the buds show. Do not try
to grow giganteums cool. They like
plenty of heat and half the failures
nre due to a lack of a proper realiza-
tion of this fact. r. W.

A WIND STOBM IN INDIANA.

Anders Basmussen, of New Albany,
Ind., reports that on Saturday, August
12, a cyclone struck his place and
wrecked a greenhouse 42x300, built
this summer. The two accompanying
illustrations, reproduced from photo-
graphs submitted by Mr. Basmussen,
show the efiEect of the storm. The
glass, however, had been removed be-
fore the photographs were taken.

"We saved," Mr. Basmussen says,
"about 125 boxes of the glass and
about seventy-five per cent of the wood
and iron work. This house was built
with concrete walls, with lVl>-inch pipe
posts imbedded in the concrete, and
also with three rows of l^^-inch posts
supporting the roof, and truss work
supporting the purlins. The IV^-incE
posts were also braced both ways with
5-16-inch iron rods. You will notice,
from the pictures, how the posts and
everything else were bent and twisted.
The storm took in only a narrow area,
but uprooted large trees in its path.
We are thankful that it struck only a
corner of our place. We will rebuild
at once and replace the one house de-
stroyed with two houses, 35x300 and 31
x300. We figure our loss in building
and stock at from $2,500 to $3,000,
with no insurance. We have repeatedly
tried to get cyclone insurance, but can
get no company to take the risk on
the fflass. ' '

HARDY ANNUALS.

For Winter Flowering.

European visitors who were here at
the time of the Boston S. A, F. Na-
tional Show commented on the im-
mense ranges of glass they had seen

flowers, as compared with the European
markets. We are yearly growing a
wider variety of flowers in winter, how-
ever, and the growers in many cases
would be willing to try batches of what
are still practically novelties if the re-
tailers could be depended upon to
purchase them, push their sale and
give them proper encouragement. There
are certain progressive retail florists
who are constantly on the lookout for
something out of the beaten track, but
still many seem unable to see beauty
or profit in any flowers beyond roses,
carnations, mums, violets and bulbous
stock.

Tender annuals fill an important
place, especially as pot plants, but for
bench culture the so-called hardy an-
nuals, varieties such as are commonly
cultivated in summer outdoors, give us
quite a wide range of selection. Of
these, sweet peas, mignonette, ten
weeks' stocks and one or two others
hardly need mention, as they are al-
ready sufficiently known. In sweet peas
alone what an advance has been made!
A decade ago they were practically un-
known as a winter flower in the big
markets, while now they are purchas-
able every day in the year, and during
at least half that period are more popu-
lar than even carnations themselves,
and their culture is increasing with
leaps and bounds.

A few of the annuals which are be-
ing grown to some extent for winter
and spring flowering are: Antirrhin-
ums, larkspurs, lupines, schizanthus,
cornflowers or centaureas, calendulas,
candytuft, leptosyne, salpiglossis, sweet
alyssum, dimorphotheca and nasturti-
ums. To these might be added zinnias,
chrysanthemums, godetias, clarkias and
Drummond phlox, which are grown, but

that were devoted exclusively to the
culture of roses and carnations, and
while speaking in terms of the highest
praise of their splendid culture they
spoke at the same time of the over-
whelming proponderance of those two
flowers and the lack of varietv in cut

only to a minor extent and chiefly for
Memorial day trade, A number of these
annuals are now seen in the big mar-
kets and are eagerly purchased, but
there is room for many more, espe-
cially in the early spring, when critical
buyers demand a change from the om-

nipresent roses and carnations. For
the benefit of growers who are looking
for some desirable catch crop or_ for
something new to try, I shall briefly
refer to some of the more important
of these hardy annuals.

Antirrhinums.

., Comparatively few antirrhinums
were grown under glass a dozen years
ago. Now they are one of the staple
winter and spring flowers, 'and the pres-
ent season, judging from the numerous
inquiries received, will see more of
them grown under glass than ever be-
fore. Their culture has been often
described in these columns, so it will
suffice to say that they may be flowered
inside from November until June, that
they may be propagated from either
seeds or cuttings, that they grow well
in a night temperature of 45 to 50
degrees and need just such a soil as
roses and carnations thrive in. Seed
may be sown now. The plants will
not give much bloom before February.
For an earlier crop the plants should
be bought. For a Memorial day crop
sow seeds early in February and bench
about the end of March. The tall va-
rieties are the best for indoor culture.
The popular colors are pink, white,
yellow and scarlet.

Schizanthus.

Schizanthus has become quite popu-
lar of late years, especially for pot
culture, for which it is well adapted.
As a bench plant it cannot be recom-
mended, as it seems to grow stockier *
and flower more freely with the roots
confined. S. Wisetonensis is the popu-
lar pot variety. It is much dwarfer
than grandiflorus oculatus and retusu-'
albus. Sow in pans or flats. Pot off
singly and keep pinched for some time,
to get nice, bushy, stocky plants. Grow
in a light and cool house. Schizanthus
cannot be forced hard. They may be
flowered from Christmas until June,
and are especially useful in March and
April. The flowers last splendidly
when cut and are excellent for use in
vases or for table centerpieces. A tem-
perature of 45 degrees at night is bet-
ter for these than 50 degrees.

Lupines.

Sown now in four to five inches of
soil in a light, airy house, the annual
pink lupine will flower for Christmas.
A successional batch, put in near the
end of October, will prove useful in
February and March. This is a charm-
ing annual and its color makes it sell
on sight. L. Hartwegii, white and blue,
will not flower satisfactorily at Christ-
mas. They need a longer season than
the pink variety already named, and
as they are of more robust growth
should be sown more thinly. In mid-
winter, care in watering is necessary,
as an oversupply will cause damping
off, while mildew is sometimes caused
by careless ventilation or spraying
overhead. A temperature of 45 de-
grees at night and a rather dry atmos-
phere suit lupines. Their spikes may
he arranged beautifully in vases. The
Hartwegii section, after the first spikes
are cut, will branch out from, the bot-
tom and throw a fine second crop.

Calendulas.

The pot marigold. Calendula offici-
nalis, is a common and easily culti-
vated annual. There are few varieties
which grow and flower more easily or

more persistently. (Jrange King, deep
orange, and Lemon Queen, clear lemon
yellow, are the two best varieties. Sown
in a bench now, they will be in flower
for Christmas. Give the plants suffi-
cient space, as they spread consider-
ably. If the flowers are kept closely
cut, the plants will flower the ^v^lole
winter. The stems will not be long,
but bunches have sold well during the
last two winters and springs. One of
the best benches of calendulas seen was
lit the cool end of a carnation house,
in a temperature averaging 50 degrees
nt night, but they can be successfully
yrown a few ilcgrees cooler.

Dimorphotheca.

The dimorphotheca, when introduced
some two or three years ago, created
quite a sensation. It is a native of
Xamaqualand, South Africa, and has a
neat branching habit. The rich orange
flowers and darker disks of D. auran-
tiaca, which is the best known variety,
are marguerite-like and are conspicu-
ous. Few annuals will flower more
quickly from seed. In spring six weeks
is sufficient to bloom it. The flowers
last well when cut; the only objection
to them is that they close on dull days
and at night. When cut a couple of-
days, however, the flowers remain ex-
t>anded and for so fragile looking a
flower they last surprisingly. A nar-
row bench suits dimorphothecas. If
a carnation bench is unavailable, try
them for a catch crop. Keep the flow-
ers closely picked and they will bloom
a long time.

Larkspurs.

The annual larkspurs are not so well
known, and hence are not so largely
j;rown as their qualities would seem to
warrant. Not even as an outdoor an-
nual are the.v properly appreciated,
while under glass they are still, with
nineteen out of twenty, an unknown
•fjuantity. Their culture does not great-
ly diflfer from that of antirrhinums,
^ow in flats, pot off singly and plant in
beds or benches nine to twelve inches
apart each way. Pinch out the first
■spike as it appears. This will give bet-
ter branching plants. Under glass these
annuals grow four to five feet high,
or even higher, and give a wonderful

amount of cutting. They are best in
quality when flowered from February
to the end of May. Sow now for a
February crop. For Memorial day the
seed can go in about February 20. Ex-
cellent colors to grow are pink, rosy
scarlet, pure white and lavender. These
annuals can be cut with long stems,
last well in water and are decorative.
They make an excellent crop for Me-
morial day.

Salpiglossis.

Salpiglossis is only seen on the mar-
kets to a limited extent during the
spring season. It is more tender than
other varieties already referred to and
can be grown 5 degrees warmer, a night
temperature of 52 to 56 degrees seem-
ing to suit it. It is best to sow it
in a temperature of 60 degrees and to
prick off in flats or pot singly, rather
than sow directly in the benches. The
plants can be grown quite close to-
gether, as they are not of a branching
or dense habit. The salpiglossis is a
rather easily damaged flower and is not
suitable for anything but short ship-
dents. It is attractive in a cut state
and a vase containing a mixture of
colors rivets attention at once. Most
flowers look best in separate shades of
eolor, but salpiglossis in mixture is
quite pleasing, the colors not aj^earing
to clash.

Nasturtiums.

Nasturtiums are everybody's flower
outdoors, their ease of culture and
floriferousness being great points in
their favor. They are not much grown
under glass, but they are easily grown
and for a late winter and spring crop
are quite acceptable. To flower eatly,
the roots must be restricted. If planted
in a bed or bench, they will not flower
at all. If in pots and allowed to root
through the bottom, they will bloonj.
abundantly. They are better if propa-
gated from cuttings, which can bo
taken now from the outdoor plants.
Seedlings seem to run too much to
growth. The brilliant scarlet variety
is the best, but, of course, any other
shade can be grown. Posts in the car-
nation or other houses, or strings run
along the rafters, are suitable to tie
them to. Of course, tall varieties only
are worthy of culture. A tempeiatire

of 4.3 to 55 degrees at night is suitable,
the latter for early flowering.

Centaureas.

The well known blue cornflower or
bachelor's button, Centaurea Cyanus,
is quite a familiar object in the flower
markets, both in spring and summer.
It is, in fact, to be seen nearly all win-
ter in one or two cities, the demand
for it being quite constant, aLd it is
rated as a profitable crop. Both the
single and double blue form of Emperor
William are in favor; the double is
considerably in evidence this season.
This centaurea likes a light, airy and
fairly cool house, 45 to 48 degrees fit
night suiting it better than the fifties.
Sown thinly in benches, it does well.
In winter it requires careful watering
and should not be hosed overhead.
Keep the soil sweet and often stirred,
to prevent damping off. C. moschata,
the sweet sultan, has been tried to some
extent under glass during the last two
or three years. It does well grown a
little warmer than C. Cyanus. Under
glass it is not stung by the tarnished
plant bug, and while it will not bloom
like the old cornflower, its flowers
bring a more fancy price. Seed must
be sown much more thinly than in the
ease of C. Cyanus. There are yellow,
white and lilac colors, all of which sell
well.

THE NEEDED NUMBER OF MEN.

Can you inform me how many men
woiUd be needed to run 75,000 square
feet of glass, where a general line of
plants is grown for commercial use?
Of course, the number would be a little
different at different times of the yg»r.

j-Tr;

The number of men required for a
place of 75,000 square 'feet of glass
would vary considerably in accordance
with the kind of stock grown and the
nature of the trade — whether wholesale
or a combination of wholesale and re-
tail. If specialties are grown for the
wholesale trade, eight to ten men
could handle it readily, but if the
trade is mostly retail several more
hands could be used during the busy
season. W. H. T.

OERANIUM STEMS EATEN.

I notice^ in The Keview of August
3, page 12, the inquiry by A. P. in
regard to the wilting of his Alphonse
Bicard geraniums. He says that on
examining his plants to ascertain the
cause, he found the stems eaten com-
pletely hollow and scores of little,
white, ant-like insects in them. Now,
whatever may be the name of the pests
that have thus been eating the stems,
The Review's reply to A. P. 's inquiry
suggests remedies that will probably
answer the purpose and my experience
may not throw any additional light on
the matter. However, last April and
May I had the same trouble with my
Bicard geraniums as A. P. had. Upon
examination, I found some small white
'mtrms, about a quarter of an inch long,
which work in the decayed boards of
the wooden benches and also tunnel a
passage down the posts to the ground.
The worms that worked on my gerani-
ums finally got wings. These pests
liave bothered me considerably, though
they did not molest the plants a great
dead till last year, but worked around
mostly in the soil of the pots and in
the sand on the benches. B. K. S.

DISEASED OEBANIUM LEAVES.

Enclosed you will find some leaves of
geraniums. Will you please tell me
what is the trouble with themf They
are from plants growing inside on raised
benches, in soil composed of a clay
loam mixed with a little thoroughly
rotted cow manure, with some sand
scratched into the top to keep the soil
from crusting over. I have been over
them twice and picked off- all the af-
fected leaves I could find, and they
seemed to do nicely for a time, but
after a little they commenced to show
spots on the leaves and the affected
leaves dried right up. I wish you would
also tell me what is the proper distance
apart in benches to set stock plants for
cuttings. G. L. E.

It is difficult to diagnose the cause of
the geranium leaves becoming so much
diseased, without knowing something of
the cultural conditions. Probably you
have attended to them carefully. Even
with the best of care these plants, con-
sidered so easy of culture, will some-
times ■grive us trouble, both under glass
and outdoors. Your soil would seem to
be suitable and you have no doubt
given water whenever needed. No
great harm^is done in allowing the soil
to dry out well. This prevents the
growths becoming too soft and cuttings
from such wood root more freely. I
wonder if you make a habit of hosing
your plants overhead once or more
daily, and especially of having them
damp at nightfall. This is not good for
them and will cause leaf-spot to de-
velop quickly. Do any syringing early
in the day. As a general rule, gera-
niums do not need any damping over-
head, but under glass red spider and

thrips will frequently attack them
where this is not done at least two or
three times a week during hot weather.

I do not look upon this as a serious
trouble. Pick off the affected leaves.
Give the benches a good watering with
soot water, using soft coal soot, or use
nitrate of soda, one pound to fifty gal-
lons of water, to brace them up, or give
a light top-dressing of fine bone,
scratching it into the soil before water-
ing. Ventilate freely, but during hot
days the atmosphere will be better with
the side ventilators closed, or nearly
so, unless the house is a small one.

You will find 12x15 inches a suitable
distance apart in benches for the stock
plants, if you are taking cuttings as
fast as they are sizable enough. If you
take the cuttings closely, 12x12 should
answer well. Where you allow them to
develop for several months, however,
without doing any propagating, as in
the hot months, it would be better to
allow them 15x15 inches. C. W.

WINTEB INjMIDSXTMMEB.

During the scorchingly, stiflingly,
overpoweringly hot weather in the early
part of this summer, many sufferers
undoubtedly sighed, with more or less
sincerity, for "a lodge in some vast
wilderness" of snow, for a temporary
dwelling place near — but not too near
— the arctic regions. Or they may have
longed for a perch on some icy moun-
tain peak, where change of altitude,
not latitude, would produce the desired
effect. Comparatively few, however,
were able to gratify this wish as liter-
ally as did Sydney B. Wertheimer, of
Wertheimer iBros., as shown in the

photograph here reproduced. The
scene, as pictured, formed a part of
Mr. Wertheimer 's experience last
month, during his European trip. The
peculiar mingling of summer and
winter conditions in the incident are
sufficient explanation of the mingling
of summer and winter styles in Mr.
Wertheimer 's garb; the combination of
overcoat ana straw hat is exactly in
accord with the circumstances of the
case. _,~^

With reference to the Ifi^otogTaph,
Mr. Wertheimer writes: "Mer de
Glace, Switzerland, July 30, 1911.—
This is no pipe drettm, but real ice.
The intrepid explorer is seen crossing
the glacier accompanied by Pierre, his
faithful guide. (All moving piclnire
rights reserved.) Pierre is a local
florist; he gathers edelweiss. Will re-
turn in August and will be at the
convention. Kind regards."

And, in accordance with his plans, he
sailed for America a few days later, ar-
rived at New York August 14 and at-
tended the convention — fresh from the
ice, as it were, and full of fresh ideas
for the trade.

TIME TO WATEB PLANTS.

Is it beneficial or injurious to water
mums or carnations in the evening, say
at 5 o'clock, at this time of the yearT

J. A. ft S.

During June and July the afternoon
or evening is an excellent time to
water carnations, mums and other crops
under glass. The nights then are warm,
with little moisture in the air. Dur-
ing August, while many of the nights
may be warm, the average is consider-
ably lower than in July; the nights are
also damp from heavv dews and it is
not good policy to delay watering any
of the greenhouse crops until late af-
ternoon or evening; morning is the
best tiipe to water. Whenever it is
done, the foliage should be quite dry
before nightfall. If the leaves lie wet
over night on the mums, bacteria wiD
appear on the foliage and similar
trouble is more than likely on your
carnations. C. W.

an iron-frame greenhouse, 24x125, with
concrete walls, at his property on
South West street, to take the place of
eeflS^ old houses that had been re-
m(y»ed. Both Mr. and Mrs. Arlin are
expert florists and they have built up
an excellent trade since coming to this
town.

Sheridan, Wyo. — L. M. Best, propri-
etor of the Best Floral Co., has opened
a stor<eLpn East Loucks street, west of
the. H^itt^ building. He handles
flowers, frtlits and vegetables, besides
cigars, stationery and other side lines.
He already has three greenhouses, in-
cluding a radish house which was com-
pleted last spring, and the glass has
been ordered for five more vegetable
houses. Three of these will be used
for lettuce, one for cucumbers and one
for tomatoes.

Sharon, Fa. — C. B. Service has retired
from the florists' trade and is now
engaged in the insurance business.

Calumet, Mich. — ^Harper & Thomas,
the florists and undertakers, are well
equipped for business in both depart-
ments and their trade is increasing.

Ohicopee Falls, Mass. — Frank Buifitt
has purchased a fine plot of land, with
the intention of erecting a range of
glass for retail purposes shortly.

Feabody, Mass. — J. M.. Ward & Co.
are rebuilding and adding several
houses, one of them for cyclamens,
which are a specialty with this firm and
cleverly grown.

Lincoln, HI. — Otto Heimbreiker has
built a 100-foot addition to his green-
houses, on West Tenth street. He is
pushing rapidly to the front in the lo-
cal field as a wholesale and retail dealer
in plants.

Waynesboro, Fa. — Henry Eichholz
has sold a scarlet carnation seedling to
Philip B. Welsh, of Glen Morris, Md.
Mr. Welsh had grown the variety for
two years on his own place before pur-
chasing it. , .

Champaign, m. — J. Landau, the land-'
scape gardener, is looking forward to
an especially busy fall season, as he al-
ready has contracts with the owners of i
various private estates, espeeially in
the vicinity of Edwardsville.

Clinton, N. Y. — ^Kilboum & Williams
are adding to their plant a new green-
house, 30x150 feet, which will give
them a total of about one-half acre
under glass. The new house is to be de-
voted exclusively to the growing of
asparagus ferns.

Quincy, HI. — F. W. Heckenkamp, Jr.,
has purchased a tract of ground at the
corner of Fifth avenue and Jackson
street and will cover 20,000 square feet
of the space with glass. The necessary
grading of the site will be done this
fall and work on the buildings will be-
gin in February. The glass is already
on the ground.

Coming, N. Y. — A. H. Woeppel, when
the writer called, was busy disbudding
early mums to one and two shoots, mak-
ing it the rule not to allow the center
bud to set until August. Stock here
is in excellent shape. The first cuttings
of gArtiniums were 'being taken oflE. It
is intended that a new house will be
ready for this stock before the snow
flies. Of roses, Bichmond is in its
fourth year and was breaking well;
this, with Killarney, White KiUarney
and My Maryland, forms his quartet.
With a 15-acre tract of choice fibrous
loam, the soil problem is settled for a
while. -,•

Bed riiscus is having a "big sale with
the supply houses and pi-omises to be
widely popular the coming season.

Was there even one plant, in the great
Baltimore exhibition, of that old favor-
ite, Latania Borbonica? If so, nobody
noticed it.

What city wants the third triennial
National Flower Show? The question
was asked in April, but has had no an-
swer. No one appears to care for the
job of equaling F. K. Pierson's record
at Boston.

While the S. A. F: was in convention
the Director of the Census issued a bul-
letin giving the population of Baltimore
and suburbs as 647,884. Baltimore is
the Monumental City to the rest of the
United States, but the people there pre-
fer it to be called "the Metropolis of
the South." The florists of Baltimore
certainly have demonstrated that they
do things in a metropolitan manner, as
well as in open-handed southern style.
All those who were at Baltimore last
week agree that Baltimore and Balti-
moreans are all right, all right!

OBITUARY.

Archibald Smith.

Archibald Smith, the English seeds-
mail, died at Oxford, Kngland, August
2, at the age of 51 years. He had
suffered for some time from heart
trouble. He was born at Stranraer,
Scotland, where his father carried on
a nursery and seed business. In early
life he came to America, where he lived
for many years and was widely and
favorably known in the trade. He re-
turned to his native island a few years
ago and commenced business on his
own account at Oxford.

Fred C. Chapman.

Fred C. Chapman, one of the pioneer
florists of Grand Rapids, Mich., and
one of the oldest residents of Madison
Squifre, died August 17, at his home at
Madison avenue and Crawford street,
at the age of 75 years. He was born
jNt Stamford, England^^^nd came to the
United States in 1880, making his home
at Crand Rapids. He established the
first greenhouses in that city, which
were located on Madison avenue, on the
site of the greenhouses of Crabb & Hun-
ter. In 1882 he moved his place of
business and residence to MaHison ave-
nue and Crawford street. The same
year he opened a downtown retail store
on Monroe street. He continued to be
one of the most successful florists in

the city until he retired from business
about eight years ago. He is survived
by a widow and a son, F. C. Chapman,
of Madison, Wis.

- Mrs. Jane Buxton.

Mrs. Jane Buxton, who for many
years condutited the Riversid^ Green-
houses, at Bridgeton, R. I., died at her
home in that place August 16, in the
sixty-ninth year of her age. She w^
the widow of Reuben A. Bj^ton and
had carried on the business Wtablished
by him. She was taken suddenly ill
in the morning and expired at 8
o'clock in the evening. She was active
in social and religious circles.

S. A. Love.

S. A. Love, of Centerville, la., died
at the home of his father in Washing-
ton township, August 8, after an ill-
ness of two or three months. He was
born May 1, 1874, on the farm where
his death occurred. He spent the ear-
lier part of his life in that neighbor-
hood, and was married in Washington
to Miss Nellie Ewer, about nine years
ago. After his marriage the fam-
ily moved to Centerville, where Mr.
Love engaged in the florists' business.
Mr. and Mrs. Love were the parents of
but one child, a daughter, Jessie, who,
with the wife and mother, survives.

A. P. Kanotzor.

A. P. Kanotzor died of paralysis at
his home in Centralia, Mo., August 14,
after a long illness. He was 62 years
old. He had formerly conducted a
nursery and sosae-iyears ago he laid
out the Kanotzor JWdition to the <nty.

Herman Goertzhain.

Herman Goertzhain, of the Redwood
City Nursery, Redwood City, Cal., died
of heart trouble, August 12. Although
he had complained of not feeling well,
he had not been confined to bed and
his sud^n death was a severe shock
to his family and friends. He had re-
sided at Redwood City for twelve years
and, in association with his sons, had
carried on a prosperous business. He
was a native of Germanv.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Market conditions continue quiet;
there is some improvement simply be-
cause trade scarcely could have been
duller than it was in the early part of
August, but the improvement is not
great and wholesalers are looking for-
ward to no sharp revival in business
until something happens to the aster
and gladiolus crops. These were slow
in coining in this year, and as a re-
sult July saw an exceptionally good
demand for stock, especially from out
of town, but when the asters and gla-
dioli once got under way they- made
up in quantity for anything thft wft|
lacking earlier in the season. In the^
aggregate the market is handling a
great deal more stock this month than
it did in August last year. Prices for
small quantities of selected stock are
as good as they were at this time last
season, but the greater part of each
day's receipts has for three or four
weeks been moved only by offering
tempting prices to the buyers, and even
then it was impossible to clean up,
with the result that averages have been
extremply low.

Pink or White— Large Supply.

Buyers who have not tried our Killarneys should do so at once, for Chicago never lias seen anytlung
like so large a supply or such fine quality. We are furnishing buyers all the Killarneys they neejl, in
any length up to 18 to 24 inches. The color of the pink is something wonderful — better than' it is in
winter. These roses are business-builders. Once tried, you will use no others.

BEAUTIES

Plenty of the popular medium leng^ths.

Our present cut of Beauties is largely from young plants and runs
largely to medium steme, the lengths tliat are in greatest demand. This is
excellent stock, grown by the grower whose summer crop has given such
perfect satisfaction to our customers in other years. Those wlio are not
ordering their Beauties of us should try this stock without delay.

The Late and Fancy Varieties

While we have had a great many Asters, and very fine Asters, we never
liave handled the like of these. They are the finest Asters that ever have
come on this market. -Vll colors, all sizes. Try some of them. You surely
will buy as long as they last.

GLADIOLI

Can supply in thousand lots.

The quality never was better. Mrs. Francis King (red), America (light
pink), and Augusta (white). These are the three buyers want in quan-
tity, and we have them. Note the low prices. You can use large lots
at these figures.

Lilies

We can furnish Easter Lilies,
test quality, in any quantity.

Valley

Order Valley of us and you will
draw on a never-failing source of
supply.

In addition to the asters and gladioli.
Beauties, Killarneys, White Killarneys
and Marylands have been and are in
large supply, with quality excellent for
summer. There also are increasing
quantities of the newer roses, particu-
hirly Prince de Bulgarie and Mrs.
Aaron Ward. These two appear to
have appealed to the local growers
much more strongly than other novel-
ties offered last year. A few Double
Pink Killarney are seen and also small
quantities of Melody, but of the new
roses Ward and Bulgarie are thus far
the most conspicuous. The growers
have not yet passed an opinion on
ihem, but the buyers like them.

There are beginning to be larger sup-
plies of carnations. The pick of flowers
rrom the field does not cut so much fig-
tire as it did in years gone by. Quite
f few growers who planted early are
beginning to pick flowers from their
earliest houses. Of course these are
■hort-stemmed as yet, and with asters
iff plentiful and cheap as they have
been, there is no special demand for
carnations. A good many retailers,
however, note that their customers do
not prize asters highly even though
fine; they call them cheap garden flow-
ers and something else is wanted where
good funeral work is called for.

All miscellaneous items continue in
good supply, or at least in supply that
IS equal to the demand. With cut flow-
ers as plentiful and cheap as they have
liiden, the call for greens is decidedly
limited.

Various Notes.

August Poehlmann states that the in-
crease in the Poehlmann establishment
this yiSiiT is between twenty-one and
twenty-two per cent. He has every
confidence in the maEket for flrst-clais
cut flowers and thinks-they will be able
to increase their sales next year fillly
as much as the increase in glass area,
if not more.

greatest gain was in the ability to
water his violet plants during the

better than usual, whereas unwatered
plants are in a bad way. The watering

are at the height of their festivities.
Added to all this, new roses and car-
nations have arrived. Better and
better daily are the shipments, and
before another fortnight has flown the
good ship of prosperity will be speed-
ing sut'cessward on an even keel and
with all sails set.

P^verybody is predicting a great fall
and winter trade, and, according to the
law of averages, this is a most reason-
able conclusion. Orchids are scarce and
prices advancing; no difficulty what-
ever in getting 75 cents each for the
best of them. There is no decrease in
the flood of gladioli and asters. The
new varieties of the gladioli, includ-
ing, still, America, and the long-
stemmed, large flowered specimens of
the latter, sell at good fair prices, but
the rank and file of them go at almost
any price that may be offered.

The wholesale stores also are hand-
ling great quantities of Hydrangea
paniculata grandiflora, cosmos, trito-
nias, goldenrod and rudbeckias, as
well as dahlias. Valley at 2 cents
and lilies at 3 cents are not calculated
to warm the cockles of the growers'
hearts. Still hope springs eternal in
the human breast, and most of the
growers and the wholesalers take the
situation and their medicine philoso-
phically and wait with patience for the
good time coming.

Convention Echoes.

The one cloud that cast its shadow
over all was the sudden death of John
Birnie, a man universally respected and
beloved. His funeral at West Ho-
boken, N. .1., Friday, August 18, was
attended by nearly all the florists of
this section of .Jersey, including also
many of his Long Island brethren and
his New York, lassociates. He was
buried with impressive Masonic cere-
monies and his loss'^ill be especially
felt by the New York Florists' Club,
of which he was one of the oldest and
most faithful members.

Many New Yorkers spent Saturday,
August 19, at the national capital and
at Mount Vernon.

The enjoyment of the sports Friday,
August 18, was almost terminated by
the cyclonic storm that swept every-

body to cover, rocked the big boat
alarmingly and broke up the ball game
and the shooting contests. Otherwise
the outing was most enjoyable and the
immense throng was fed and enter-
tained with marvelous detail, complete-
ness and universal satisfaction. There
was enough of everything and to spare.

After Mrs. Traendly won the $75
silver cup the ex-president could be
touched successfully for any reason-
able loan and new dignity was added
to his stride.

All the prizes were valuable and
worthy of the occasion and the splen-
did club that provided them, as well
as the generous givers from many other
cities.

The exhibits of the ribbon men were
among the most seductive of the many
displays and for some reason the space
around them was filled by a crowd at
all times of the handsomest young
ladies in the Armory.

Eobert L. Graham earned fairly the
title of "the young man eloquent."

Nobody envied President-elect Vin-
cent the sunny smile that irradiated
his face after the votes were counted.
His presentation addresses to Eobert
L. Graham and Eobert Halliday were
masterpieces of eloquence.

Every officer and every member of
every committee of the Baltimore
Florists' Club has just cause for pride
and self-congratulation.

New York thinks it deserves some
of the society's appreciation in furnish-

ing it with a secretary of twenty-five
years' experience and it believes the
society will add another twenty-five
years to his enviable record.

The ladies' society has grown to most
creditable size under the presidency of
our Mrs. J. V. Phillips. There is no
good reason why it should not number
500 at Chicago.

It is conceded that President Asmus
is a natural orator and his impromptu
address after the presentation of his
$300 silver service proved it.

Messrs. Traendly, Berry, Scott and
Kakuda were uneasy while New York
was losing its first game and thought
it was about time to use them as sub-
stitutes in the bowling contest. The
result proved their uneasiness well
founded.

Oscar Boehler and Emil Leuly, of
New Jersey, still hold their places at
the top of the list of old bachelors,
their hopes glimmering more and more
faintly as the years come and go.

The New York Bowling Club will

owing to the absence of John Donald-

This handicap doubtless lost the New
Yorkers the high honors to which,
with its club intact, they were en-
titled on form and record. All florists
visiting New York are requested to
spend their Friday evenings at the
club's alleys, Thirty-second street and
Broadway, where a warm welcome al-
ways awaits them.

': Prices in the cut flower market are
igood. Some fine asters with splendid
iflowers and stems, like special Beauties,
il)Ting double listed quotations. The
difficulty is that business is not suffi-
[cient to consume nearly all the flowers
offered. There are more choice asters
than a fortnight ago. They are easier
to sell than the lower grade stock. The
demand for gladioli is dropping off.
Boses are increasing in number. Beau-
ties are -most sought. They are better
value and not plentiful. Prince de
Bulgarie' has come to town. Short-
stemmed roses of the standard forcing
varieties are in supply far ahead of the
demand. At times Easter lilies have
been^hard to obtain. Valley is on the
back 'track. There are some gardenias,
but few cattleyas; one must use the
small Harrisoniae or go without. A few
more carnations are arriving. There is
an abundance of Japanese hydrangeas.
Oalax is the only scarce green.

, Five Fine Cannaa.

The beds in front of the office build-
ing of the Conard & Jones Co., at
West Grove, Pa., are planted with some
of their best varieties of cannas, care-
fully chosen to show a few choice col-
ors and types and the decorative effect
that may be obtained by massing them.
The beds are of moderate widti, with
ample lawn between, to set off the rich

Sreen of the foliage and the bright
u«s of the flowers to advantage.
The bed on the left of the driveway
as you enter is filled with Mrs. Alfred
F.'QMard. The beautiful La France

iirraense siae o^.the trusses, commands
admiration. Mrs Conard is a fine bed-

name describes the flowers — like the
gladiolus, round, even petaled, florets
large and full; color, scarlet and iel-i
low; foliage, green — a type unusujly,.
deeply interesting.

The last bed stands directly in front
of t}ie steps. Unlike the others, it con-
tains two varieties — a circle of scarlet
and gold, the effect heightened by an-
oUmr i)order of the dark leaved Achy-
ranthes Liudeni. The scarlet is Meteor,
a aa22ilin^'C61o7r~Thr8' variety "promises
much. The yellow is Brilliant, a re-

Brilliant is not a pure yellow, a scarlet

color.

izes certain persons to sell the flotner^

on that day it is unlawful for anyone
else to offer that variety of flower for
sale. I was in Hamburg on ' Marguerite
day,' when many persons, mostly ladies,
sold marguerites, both natural and arti
ficial. They were known by a govern-
ment badge worn on the arm. They
carried quantities, offering them on tbe
streets and in public places, selling

No florists could sell on Marguerite
day. Some of the ladies bought their
marguerites beforehand; others ob-
tained them from their gardens. Later,
when I was in Coburg, Marguerite day
was being observed there. It occurred

All Philadelphia went to the Balti-

that the value of a convention to the

to let the world know that he is up and

He is mysteriously spoken of as "The

WASHINGTON.

The Market.

Washington florists' circles are get-
ting back into the harness this week,
with some creaking of the joints and
groaning of the machinery, after the
general participation in the big affair
at Baltimore and the incidental enter-
taining of visiting delegates here.
Many florists "ran over" to Washing-
ton and looked about the place. Most
of them were detected in the act, and
made cordially welcome. Business is
not what it might be; but, in view of
the season, there is no complaint.

Stock continues to be scarce and
rather poor. The effects of the drought
are still apparent in the condition of
all outdoor stuff. Asters are more plen-
tiful, but the price stays firm at 50
cents to $2. Gladioli are in abundant
supply and are fair in quality. The
market, in fact, is glutted with them.
As for roses, Kaiserin, Carnot, Mrs.
Taft and Maryland are about the best
coming in. Killarney, White Killarney
and Bride are inferior and slow of
sale. The first dahlias are in market.
They are not plentiful and are rather
poor, the opening price being $2, and
weak at that.

Various Notes.

Everyone is making preparations for
a lively season next winter. J. H.
Small & Sons, it is reported, have se-
cured quarters in the new Woodward

understood. The Pennock-Meehan Co.,
of Philadelphia, New York and Wash-

with a view to the requirements of the

was good this year, the indications are
that the Washington house will double
the volume of trade during the next
year. W. E. McKissick, manager of
this house, has worked up a good line
of supplies in this vicinity, and is giv-
ing satisfaction to a large line of cus-
tomers.

Another wholesaler who sees a ro-
seate outlook is Albert Schnell, man-
ager of the Florists' Exchange. He
reports that he has had an excellent
year's business. He has recently moved
into new quarters, which are now fitted
up and ready for custom. "We are
looking for a heavy trade during the
coming season," said Mr. Schnell to

the representative of The Review, ' ' and
I believe our receipts will be at least
double those of this year. We get our
supplies from the surrounding country.
Partly through our own efforts, we
have accumulated a staff of extra fine
growers, so that we expect, during the
coming season, to be able to meet all
demands on us."

Leapley & Meyer, a firm of young
florists who started out about a year
ago in the local field, locating on G
street near Ninth, have made extensive
alterations in their store. They have
succeeded notably, by the exercise of
industry and enterprise.

George Cooke, of 1100 Connecticut
avenue, carried off a long list of awards
at the convention.

C. L. Baum, of Knoxville, Tenn.,
stopped in Washington en route to the
convention and visited around' among
the local florists.

William R. Gray, the Oakton, Va.,
rose grower, has just imported 100,000
valley pips of the finest variety, which
he will grow for the Florists ' Exchange.
He grew a similar number last year for
the same house, all of which were dis-
posed of in this market. Mr. Gray 's
stock is looking well for the time of year.

D. C, has made extensive alterations
in his greenhouses. He has already
boxed up 50,000 Emperor narcissi for
the coming season.

Lehr Bros., of Brooklyn, Md., have
erected another greenhouse, which they
have already planted to Killarney,
White Killarney, Maryland and Ivory
roses. Their carnations for the coming
year look particularly well.

J. Rider, of Brooklyn, Md., is making
a good showing with his carnations. He
is devoting himself to Enchantress,
White Enchantress, White Perfection,
Kose-pink Enchantress and Dorothy
Gordon.

J. H. Small has spent a good portion
of his time recentlj' at Bar Harbor,
personally superintending the arrange-
ments for iireparing an elaborate set-
ting to a big dinner, given there by
Mr. and Mrs. Edward McLain. He
drew on the staffs of his Washington
and New York establishments for men
and materials for the work. In fact,
he had to send all over the United
States for materials. The general plan
was aquatic, with numerous goldfish
and water plants. Vast quantities of
water lilies were used. The invitation
list included a large number of people
from Washington and vicinity. D.

The Market.

Trade has been quiet for a week or
more. This, however, is only what was
to be expected, as the last half of Au-
gust is always extremely dull. There
is a fair call for flowers from the shore
and mountain resorts, where the season
is now at its height, but local demaiid
is light. Outdoor flowers continue to
dominate the market, asters and
gladioli being the leaders. The qual-
ity of asters is much below that of
former years. There are big lots of
poor flowers, but only a limited number
of really good ones. W^hile the latter
make $1.50 to $2 per hundred, others
go as low as 25 cents to 50 cents. Some
nice flowers of the ostrich plume va-
rieties are seen, in addition to the more
every-day sorts. Gladioli are still much
overabundant and it seems a pity to
see grand spikes of America, Mrs. F.
King and others selling so low. Sweet
peas continue to come in, but the qual-
ity is inferior.

Roses are mostly small, being the
early cuttings from the new crop, and
move with difficulty. Good flowers sell
without trouble. A small lot of new
crop carnations are arriving. These,
however, are short-stemmed and cut lit-
tle figure. Lilium longiflorum is in
oversupply; so, also, is lily of the val-
ley. Quite a few Lilium auratum and
speciosum are seen; the latter sells the
best. Cosmos is more abundant, but
sells slowly. There is a decided scarcity
of orchids, especially cattleyas, and
those having orders find difficulty in
securing what they want. Miscellane-
ous flowers include hardy sunflowers,

Exhibition.

In spite of the hot, dry weather,
there was a fine exhibition, which quite
filled the main exhibition hall at Horti-
cultural hall, August 19 and 20. Peren-
nial phloxes were largely shown by T.
(J. Thurlow's Sons, F. J. Bea, John K.
Alexander, William Whitman and
others. Gladioli were exceptionally
fine, some splendid novelties being
shown. George Page, gardener for Mrs.
Frederick Ayer, received a first-class
certificate for Gladiolus Kunderdi
(ilory. A similar award went to Mon-
tague Chamberlain for Niagara. The
latter exhibitor also showed a vase of
Rajah, a new seedling, the finest crim-
son scarlet seedling I have yet seen,
with flowers of immense size; awarded
a silver medal. Mr. Chamberlain had
many other fine varieties. John K.
Alexander was also an extensive ex-
hibitor of gladioli and his spikes were
excellent.

William Thatcher, gardener for Mrs.
•T. L. Gardner, was the leading ex-
hibitor of annuals and secured first
j)rize for display of not less than lOO
bottles. W. P. Lothrop had an excel-
lent table of dahlias. He received a
first class certificate for Lothrop 's seed-
ling, an immense decorative of a red-
dish orange color. George Page had
a grand specimen of Nepenthes Mas-
tersii, also jdatyceriunis and Phoenix
Koebelenii. Mrs. E. M. Gill had a good
general display. M. Sullivan, gardener
for W. Whitman, had the finest aster
display. He also had a collection of
herbaceous plants.

was some well flowered pans of Calluna
vulgaris, or Scotch heather.

The annual show of products of chil-
dren's gardens comes September 2 and
3, and the general autumn exhibition
of dahlias, fruits, etc., September 8,
9 and 10, while the big vegetable show,
to be held in conjunction with the con-
- vention of the American Vegetable
Growers' Association, with several
thousand dollars in prizes, opens Sep-
tember 21. This latter show will far
excel anything of the kind formerly
seen in Boston.

Various Notes.

Most of the Boston visitors to the S.
A. F. convention returned home Au-
gust 19. All had a pleasant time, their
only regret being the failure to elect
their excellent candidate for president.

Littlefield & Wyman, of North Ab-
ington, have their carnations all
housed. A ^ew house, just completed,
will give them more growing space.
The plants are as large as usual.

Several local members of the trade
who are in Europe are being held up
by the extended strike prevailing in
England. Thomas , Pegler is one of
them.

Charles Leach, of J. Leach & Sons,
North Easton, is recovering from a
severe attack of Bright 's disease. The
illness cpme on at an inopportune time,
when carnation housing was under
way. The new Pink Supreme, one of
the Leach seedlings, is looking fine.

S. J. Goddard enjoyed his Baltimore
trip immenjjely. He is sending in some
fine asters to the market, and small
lots of new crop carnations.

J. W. Simpson, of Woburn, is ship-
ping quantities of fine long-stemmed
asters to the Boston Cooperative
Market. His carnations are all housed
and they look first-class.

A special electric car will leave
Scollay square, opposite the « Quincy
house, at 12:30 Saturday, AngHst 26,
with members and friends of the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club bound
for B. Hammond Tracy's gladiolus farm
at Wenham, where a field day will be
held. A large attendance is already
assured.

W. F. Eaton, of Haverhill, is just
starting on his new season's crop of
Killarney and White Killarnev, which
he knows well how to grow. These are
handled by William H. Carr at the
Boston Flower Exchange.

John W. Foote, of Maiden, is already
cutting excellent Beacon carnations.
Bouvardia Humboldtii still comes from
him. He grows it better, probably,
than any one else in the country.

J. Newman & Sons had a jdeasing
d window August 19 of Rose Golden
I Gate, with large vases^of Gladiolus
■ America and ferns as a Rackground.

William S. Phelps, of Marlboro, loves
to produce gilt-edged stock. He grows
asters of magnificent quaUty under
glass. These he disbuds a?k<l...:^rows
like mums, selling them in bunches of
one dozen. The flowers are equal in
size to the average mum, with stems of
remarkable length. Mr. Phelps is just
starting to cut these. His carnations
are all benched and looking well.

John K. Alexander, of East Bridge-
water, the dahlia specialist, gave a
first-class clam bake to 100 of his
friends at Bobbins grove August 18,
which every one heartily enjoyed.

A. R. Hutson, chief salesman for W.
H. Elliott, has been enjoving a well
earned vacation on Cape Cod.

W. J. Collins, representing Joseph
Breck & Sons, was at last report doing
the German seed-growing districts and
having an enjoyable time.

Over 200 members of the New png-
land Association of Market Gardeners
had their annual outing at the Lynn-
way Club, Point of Pines, August 19.
The games included bowling and pool
tournaments; also baseball, married vs.
single, the latter winning by a score
of 8 to 4. President H. F. Hall ad-
dressed the members during the after-
noon.

John Barr's fine new carnation house
is completed and planted. In spite of
the dry summer, his plants are quite
up to the average in size.

Six Pages of Retailers' Cards

This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the
facilities for fillin|f the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid
development of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and
so helpful that its volume will keep on increasing for many years.

Arc 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.

To be represented costs only 70 cents per week on a yearly order. This is for one-inch space.
Other spaces in proportion.

employees are also taking their vaca-
tions during the lull in trade. The
firemen's convention didn't help boom
things much, but we trust the G. A. K.
convention will do more to make trade
lively.

Asters and gladioli reign supreme
this week — so much so that the price
of both is away down and they are be-
ginning to accumulate.

Beauties are scarce, and, fortunately,
there is little call for them. Few of
the retailers keep them on hand, but
send out for them as they are ordered.
The specials retail at $5 and $6 per
dozen. Killarney is growing poorer and
poorer each week, and White Killarney
has been cut out of the rose list for
several weeks. Eadiance and My Mary-
land are holding up well and the spe-
cials bring fancy prices. Mrs. Aaron
Ward is still a good seller. A few
Kichmonds are coming in, and they are
somewhat improved, but short in stem.
Kaiserin is really a queen in quality,
and is used altogether for brides' bou-
quets when roses are required. Carnot
is seldom seen, and only poor ones at
that.

A few carnations are seen here and
there in the flower stores. Sweet peas
are about over, and the few that re-
main are almost useless. Valley is be-
coming poor, but the price remains
high. Bose geraniums and mignonette
are used considerably instead of ferns
and asparagus by our local florists.
Candytuft and double marguerites are
coming into the market and are good
in quality. There is little call for smi-
lax at present. .

There are a few good sized weddings

Wm. F. Dreer, the PJiiladelphia seeds-
man, is summering, as usual, in Maine.

The seed trade was well represented
at last week's S. A. F. convention at
Baltimore.

Howard M. Earl, of W. Atlee Burpee
& Co., has returned to Philadelphia after
a month's trip to California.

The early varieties of sweet corn are
reported quite a short crop, but the late
sorts promise Avell if the frosts hold off
long enough.

If the samples shown at Baltimore are
any guide, the French bulbs certainly
made good growth. All the samples were
' ' monsters. ' '

Arthur T. Boddington, New York, is
spending the week ends at Nantucket,
where Mrs. Boddington and the children
are summering.

It is said that this season some of the
stock seed of winter-flowering sweet
peas, grown in California, has returned
only five pounds for one.

Competition has brought the prices of
French bulbs to a point where there is
little incentive to go after the business;
so some of the bulb houses say.

Ant. C. Zvolanek reports that the
crop of sweet pea seed at Bound Brook,
N. J., is only one-third of normal, but
hopes next year's yield will be larger.

Harrisii bulbs are said to be selling
quite well — better than last season. As
the cultural methods of the Bermudian
growers improve, the confidence of the
bulb forcers will increase.

.1. BoLGiANO & Son had many visitors
during the S. A. F. convention at Bal-
timore last week and no one went away
without being impressed with the size of
their plant and the completeness of their
facilities.

Seedsmen who have personally inves-
tigated the situation in Europe report
that crops generally are the poorest in
years and that last season's shortages
will seem slight by comparison with those
of the present season.

A REPORT has been received of the
death,- August 2, of Archibald Smith,
the Knglish seedsman, who was well
known, in the trade in America, having
spent many years in this country before
engaging in business at Oxford, England.

LILIUM HARRISII

(THE BERMUDA EASTER LILY)
LET US SUPPLY YOUR WANTS IN LILIES THIS SEASON

^l^llhink we can make it to your advantage to do so, at regards both quality and price.
The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for us by a few selected grow-
ers whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In order to insure the health of the product, the bulbs are not
grown on the same field oftener than one season, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thor-
oughly manured when the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used; this prevents disease and insures a a^ of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the ground until they are
thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is very little, if any, stock ot^ain-
able as good as the stock that we are offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stock and when this is disposed
of we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock tliat we offer is of the highest^our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices of those who
offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers will find our stock very satisfactory, and
much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has badly deteriorated iia recent years.

Bear, in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have exceptional facilities for
obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually
offered. ,

'■' 6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $ 40.00 per 1000

7- 9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, 16.00 per case; full thousand lots, 75.00 per 1000

; 9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, 18.00 per case; full thousand lots, 175.00 per 1000

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties— good, bushy, well-grown plants that will please the
most critical buyers. "Plants have been grown in pots and are thoroughly well established and nicely finished.

Nephrolepis Bostoniensis and Piersoni, 6-inch pots $0.50 each

Nephrolepis Elegantissima, Piersoni, Bostoniensis and Harrisii, heavy 8-inch plants . $1.00 to 1.50 each

The threshipg process is not showing
any gain in the pea product over the es-
timates given out some time ago, and
the weather conditions at present add
nothing to the growth of beans. The
bean crop will also be on the short side
this year.

Will sweet peas be overdone next
winter! It doesn't seem likely, although
the chances are that when the Spencer
varieties come in toward spring the large

TheWccklyFIbrists' Review;

August 24, 1911.

will be a wonderful increase in produc-
tion if all goes well with the growers'
plans.

S. B. Dicks, representing Cooper,. Ta-
ber & Co., London, is due to reach Clii-
cago August 29.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
has just issued a bulletin on Lespedeza,
or Japan clover, that will be of interest
to grass seed dealers.

The largest canning company at Long-
mont, Colo., has stated that its 1911
pack of peas will not permit over forty-
five per cent delivery on orders.

It is said in Baltimore that Maryland
has a wonderful crop of tomatoes this
• year. The melon crop was injured by
the dry weather early in the season.

THE.winter -flowering varieties of sweet
peas are turning out an extremely poor
crop with the California seed growers and
some of the seed houses find they have
priced them njuch too low in recently is-
sued fall lists.

A. DwiGHT Funk, of Funk Bros. Seed
Co., Bloomington, 111., owns 700 acres
of rich bottom land, which he is rapidly
developing into a fine corn farm. It is
said that he has already spent something
like $7,000 on drainage, tiling, fencing,
etc.

There is a strong demand for the
winter-flowering varieties of sweet peas
for immediate planting, and a little later
the iiorist will want the Spencer varieties
in quantity, for the greenhouse space
devoted to sweet peas will be enormously
increased this season.

The government crop report two weeks
ago showed all the great grain crops to be
in condition below the average for a
number of recent years and probably is
a fair index to the condition of seed
crops August I over that part of the
country east of the Rockies.

Some shipments are on their way east
from the Pacific coast growers. In gen-
eral the crop deliveries from the coast
are expected to be about up to the aver
agel Sweet peas, salsify ,^ some of 'the
Globe varieties of onion, and carrot are
exceptions, being s^hort in most cases.

Large shipments of French bulbs in-
tended for fast boats via Genoa have been
held up at Mediterranean ports by chol-
era quarantine and are long overdue.
Shipments on the older and slower steam-
ers direct from Marseilles this time
proved again that the race is not always
to the swift.

The people who are enquiring for ly-
copodium in carload lots find no dispo-
sition on the part of the big handlers to
take orders except at prices that pro-
vide for all eventualities. Those who
handle the Pennsylvania and the Wis-
consin picks see the probabilities as from
the same viewpoint.

The cucumber and other vine seed
crops are in fair shape at present, but
some good, warm weather is needed to
make the fruits fill out and yield seed.
There is time enough for this, but the
weather at the present time is not of the
right sort and it must change to warmer
or bad results to vine crops may be looked
for.

Onion sets are nearly all harvested.
Previous estimates published by The Re-
view are approximately correct. The
crop is much short of last year's harvest
at Chicago, less than one-half of last
year's harvest at Louisville and short of

^»in, Cyclamen

For the last IS years we have selected three-fourths of our
seed bearing Cyclamen stock before Xmas, to assure early
blooming plants, and claim the finest commercial strain in this
country; no fizzle of many so-called English varieties. Our
aim is strong growers, that don't have to be petted to be
grown into a choice salable plant — a well built, five petaled
flower (many of them at one time), with well marked foliage;
every plant an ideal, a prize-winner. Received first and second
prizes at the Toledo Florists' Club meeting early in November,
when blooming Cyclamens were scarce. Seed of this, my own
grown strain, in five separate colors, JIl.OO per 100; J6.00 per
1000; $25.00 per 5000.

ST. LOOTS.

The Market.

Business last week was a great deal
better than the week previous among
the retailers. The bulk of the work
was for funerals. The wholesalers,
however, had so much stock on hand
that it was impossible to unload it all.
Prices have been low right along, but
some o| the figures for large lots would
not looTc well in print. In looking over
the wholesale markets last week,, a big
glut in asters was apparent in all va-
rieties and grades, but grades were
overlooked when large lots were
bought. Eoses, too, have been a glut
and only the choice grades sell well,
but stock is looking better right
along.

Good carnations are scarce and other
grades are none too plentiful. Gla-
dioli are beginning to let up some; not
nearly so many are coming in. Single
tuberose stalks are down to $1 per
hundred. There is also quite a lot of
small outdoor stock.

Various Notes.

Fred Alves, of the George H. An-
germueller force, says that bachelor life
is getting monotonous and that a
change will follow soon ^Meh will in-
terest the local trade, ife^ refused ^o
give the name of the fortunate young
lady.

Frank Fillmore had charge of the
flower booth at the Boyal A»3anum
carnival at Preister's park all of last
week. He was assisted by Mrs. Fill-
more and a host of young ladies. It
was a big job, but Mr. Fillmore was
equal to the occasion.

Andrew Meyer, Jr., who until re-
cently was city forester, is now en-
gaged with his father, Andrew Meyer,
Sr., who has been for many years in
the florists' business on South Jeffer-
son avenue, where they have a large
following.

The Market.

Business during the last week was
on a par with that of previous years
for this season, as regards general
trade, but two or three large funerals
gave an unusual impetus to the aggre-
gate for the week. There are practi-
cally no carnations in the local market,
asters furnishing the major supply.
Roses are showing much improvement,
both in texture and length of stem.
A few Easter lilies are coming in. but
the supply is limited, with little de-
mand.

now looks as though a wholesale flower

Assuming for the sake of argu-
ment that Horseehoe Brand Lily
Bulbs cost 20% more than common
brands of no special source, and
the bulb cost is from 10% to 20%
of the selling value of the flowers,
don't you think it is much safer to
pay the difference for Horseehoe
Brand ? If you can get one more
flower from five bulbs it will more
than pay you the difference in bulb
cost, not confiidering at all the
chance you take in buying goods
of doubtful value. So after all it
is more economical by far to pay
20% more for a brand which will
net you one more flower in five
bulbs ; and the possibilities are
actually much greater, while the
liability for loss is much less.
Furthermore, Horseshoe Bran<l
Bulbs do not always cost 20% more
than other brands, even no more in
some cases, and if anyone doubts
the real value of the bran<l, all we
ask them to do is to try them and
keep a record of results. It's the
record most growers fail to keep,
and after the season is over they
seldom know whose goods are the
best — merely have a jumbled i<lea
that they obtained so many flowers
from so many bulbs — that's all.
Lily bulbs in the fields are gener-
ally sold a la carte — you get just
what you pay for and not more, so
it's best to pay the fair price an<l
get the cream of the crop. Write
for prices.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

Aii<ii;8T 24, 1911.

PACIFIC COAST.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

Business remains quiet and season-
able conditions prevail everywhere.
There is no surplus of choice stock,
but asters are more plentiful in a
greater variety of colors, and are the
best selling article on the market.
Mums are showing better quality and
supply the much needed variety of
stock. Cosmos, tritonia and helianthus
serve the purpose for window arrange-
ments, but bring little monetary return.
Carnation planting in the houses is
about completed. Most of the florists
are increasing their stock, as well as
adding glass. The first shipments of
lily bulbs from Japan have arrived.

Various Notes.

Miss T. M. Hudson, of Pasadena.
Cal., is taking advantage of the dull
season to visit the northwest, combin-
ing business and pleasure.

E. R. Chappell leaves this week for
several weeks' recreation of simple
life. E. R. C.

TAOOMA, WASH.

The Market.

Gloomy weather in this vicinity has
caused florists' crops to come on slowly
and now we find that stock, especially in
carnations, is exceedingly scarce, with
only outdoor flowers to depend on.
Asters are coming in and are of excel-
lent grade, while roses are getting
short-stemmed. Business has shown a
marked change for the better during

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club held its first an-
nual picnic at Burton, August 10.
About seventy took the launch from the
Old Town dock and, after the run to
Burton, landed at the picnic grounds,
above the citj', where the day was
spent in all kinds of games and sports.

The Florists' Club held its regular
meeting August .S. (Charles Halkier
was appointed captain of the bowling
team and we are now ready to meet

Another week of cold weather, and
if things do not change soon we shall
almost forget Avhat the sun looks like.
These conditions, however, are con-
ducive to plenty of good stock and no
one can remember seeing anything like
what we have had to select from this
year. Asters are now at their best and
mums are beginning to show them-
selves, though those seen thus far have
been greenhouse grown. The people
are most delightfully fickle this year
and do not seem to take as kindly as
they did last season to dahlias, gladioli,
Japanese lilies and the other summer
flowers, but are pinning their faith to
roses, valley, carnations and orchids.

As a consequence, much of the cheaper
blossoms only find their proper rec-
ognition from the street hucksters.
Asters are moving rather easily and
the prices, though they are away down,
do not seem to have reached the depths
that they did one year ago. Violets
are in small supply and also in small
demand. Other kinds of outside stock
are not creating any new prices that
are fit to print. Business, except the
funeral portion, is at a low ebb, but
with the influx of the rusticating
townspeople there should be a grand
change in a short time.

Various Notes.

The Sunday afternoon closing move-
ment, organized August 13, bids fair
to be a permanent feature in this town
and was observed by all the stores.

The display of tuberous rooted be-
gonias at Golden Gate park is one of

Climbing Wiiite Naman Cochet

The most valuable acquisition to our Climbing White
Roses in the past few years is Climbing White Maman
Cochet. Identical with the older variety in size, form
and color, it has further proven to be one of the most
profuse and continuous bloomers, strongest growers, of
clean habit, glossy foliage and the flowers are borne on
long, stiff, straight stems. These excellent points to-
gether with its freedom from mildew make it one of the
most noteworthy additions to that class of Roses of
which there is never a surplus — Hardy, White, Ever-
blooming Climbers.

With practically 50 years' experience and in that
time having handled millions of Roses, we are always
careful in recommending new varieties, but we have no
hesitancy in emphasizing everything we claim for Climb-
ing White Maman Cochet.

We offer a limited stock of hardy field grown plants
that will be ready January 1, 1912, at $1.00 each; $9.00
per dozen. Orders filled strictly in rotation.

Some of the largest peony people are

ima, being as closely sold out as they
care to be.

The long-continued drought is begin-
ning to affect the composure of some of
the nurserymen, who find stock making
much slower growth than they would like.

It is reported that the Wolverine Nur-
sery Co., of Paw Paw, Mich., is favorably
considering the project of establishing a
branch nursery at Traverse City, Mich., in
the center of the fruit section.

The annual report of the Tennessee
State Board of Entomology shows that
242 nursery and greenhouse establish-
ments have been inspected and certifi-
cated for the current year.

The season having been earlier than
usual with the peony growers in the
middle west, the stock has made about
the usual growth, in spite of a rather
dry summer, and digging will begin in
the last week of August or first week in
September.

The Oregon Nursery Co. has filed suit
in the district court at Hillsboro against
George A. Bradbum, of Boseburg, asking
$20,000 damages for alleged false state-
ments regarding the nursery stock of the
plaintiff. The statements in question
were published in a Portland daily June
26, 1910, and the article, which forms
part of the complaint filed, was in the
form of an interview with Mr. Bradbum,
who in the published statement is quoted
as saying that the trees were affected
with anthracnose. The complaint states
that such charges are injurious to the
company 's business.

Quite a few nurserymen are beginning
to wonder how much longer their stock
will have to get along without rain.
Growth is not all that could be desired.

Their state board of entomology is
sending Tennessee nurserymen a bulle-
tin entitled "The San Jose and Other
Injurious Scale Insects, with Methods for
their Control."

The Franco-American Nursery, at
Pomona, Cal., formerly owned by Charles
J. Carette, has been transferred to Isaac
N, Elder, in exchange for a nine-room
residence in Pomona and forty acres of
land in the Mohawk valley, Arizona. The
total value of the trade is said to have
been $24,000.

The most elaborate report of any of
the state entomological departments to
reach The Review has come from F. L.
Washburn, of Minnesota. It is a vol-
ume of 184 pages and contains a state-
ment of the work of the department
for two years, together with papers on
the entomological side of agriculture, as
well as horticulture. Inspection of nur-
series is not obligatory in Minnesota, but
is made on request of those who want cer-
tificates to comply with the laws of other
states. In 1910 fifty-six establishments
were inspected.

Will you tell me the best way of

treatment of them? A. A.

A cellar, shed or pit which can be
kept at 35 to 40 degree^ during the

rule, 40 degrees at night is the tem-
perature given them. A higher tem-
perature is not to be recommended,
while they will not be damaged if the
thermometer goes to 32 degrees, or
even lower at times. They should not
be kept too dark, or when exposed to
nunli^t they will be liable to brown

July or August. The general method
adopted in propagating California
privet is to cut off the shoots late in the
fall, remove the leaves, tie in bundles,
bury in the ground over winter and
plant closely in nursery rows in early
spring, firming them well. Four to six
inches between the cuttings will suffice
and the rows should just be of sufficient
width to allow of proper cultivation.

FALL SOWING OF ANNUALS.

Can you tell me how to grow sweet
peas, cornflowers and larkspurs, sown
in fallf I wish to sow them outdoors
this fall, for flowering next spring.
When is the best time to sow the seeds
and how should it be done? A. V. B.

Sweet peas can be sown outdoors be-
fore the ground freezes. November is
a suitable month and it is well to se-
lect a time when the ground is as dry
as possible. Sow on well drained land,
where water cannot stand, and cover
three to four inches deep. Give a
mulch of littery manure, meadow hay
or straw after the ground freezes. Do
not give it earlier, as where mice
abound they will sometimes destroy all
the seed. No growth is wanted before
the ground freezes; the seed should lie
practically dormant. Having tried fall
seeding, I have concluded that as good
results, or better, can be had from
plants set out from small pots in April,
or from spring seeding as soon as the
ground opens. The sweet pea rows
should be five feet apart.

Centaurea Cyanus, cornflower, is
quite a hardy annual and, even if it

germinates before frost, will winter
all right. Sow in rows two feet apart
about the middle of October. The an-
nual larkspurs are rather more tender
than the cornflowers and a more un-
certain crop from fall sowing. The
seed can go in about the last of Oc-
tober. Each of these want covering
rather lightly, but a little more heavily
than when spring sown, and a light
mulch should be spread over them and
removed about the end of March.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Little change has taken place in
market conditions since last report.
Carnations are coming along nicely.
Asters have improved considerably in
quality.

Various Notes.

The Beml) Floral Co. is at present
in temporary quarters, which have
been admirably transformed from a
plain, barren room into a pretty flower
store. The large show window repre-
sents a lily pond and clearly shows Mr.
Pochelon's artistic talent along the
line of scenic effect in decorating.

Harry Breitmeyer is wearing a fine
coat of tan, received while touring
through Michigan last week.

The newly appointed exhibition com-
mittee of the Detroit Florists* Club
met recently and decided to hold a^
show in a modest way this coming fall.
The place will be the Twentieth Cen-
tury Club rooms. No definite arrange-
ments have been made so far, but
everything is shaping itself nicely.

The interior of Breitmeyer 's new
store is now ready for the plaster. The
ceiling will be at least fifteen feet
high in the center. The floor of both
store and conservatory will be of large
squares of dark red tile.

Arnold Eingier, of the W. W. Bar-
nard Co., passed through Detroit Au-
gust 21 en route for northern Michi-
gan.

Mrsi Taepke and her daughter,
Laura, are still in the east.

The annual outing of the Detroit
Florists' Club will be held on Tuesday,
August 29, at Bois Blanc Island.

Tlie Weddy Flwists* Review.

August 24, 1911.

TORONTO.

^ The Market.

' Trade has been rather dull for the
last few weeks. If it were not for the
funeral work, little would be done.
This week opened well with orders for

^designs, on account of the death of
one of the city 's most prominent sports-

»!;men.

,i> Boses are starting to come in. Kil-
Ijurney, White Killarney and Kaiserin
are quite plentiful. Carnations have
not yet made their appearance. Some
Golden Glow chrysanthemums are com-
ing on the market and look well. Asters

' are plentiful, but, as a rule, the stems
are short and the flowers small. Gla-
dioli are abundant. Dahlias are late

: this year. Last season they were in
before asters.

Various Notes.

S. A. Frost has returned from a two
weeks' vacation in Muskoka.

Geo. M. Geraghty spent two weeks
at his summer home on Georgian Bay.

Jack Plumbtree, assistant manager
at Tidy's, is away on vacation.

Harry Dillemuth was one of the
judges of the trade exhibits at the con-
vention of the Canadian Horticultural
Association at Ottawa.

Thomas Manton attended the con-
vention.

J. A. Simmers has made extensive
alterations in his store on King street.
Formerly the office was away at the
back. It is now located at the front of
the store, where there is more room
and much more light.

A. Simmers has returned from spend-
ing his holidays at Sparrow Lake, Mxis-
koka.

Herman Simmers attended the con-
vention of the American Seedsmen's
Association.

Mr. Annandale, of the Steele-Briggs
Seed Co., has returned from a trip to
Europe. He states that conditions over
there are bad. The weather has been
hot and dry and nearly all crops are
a failure. An unusual event, the like
of which at that date can not be
brought to mind by the oldest inhabi-
tants of the country, occurred June 12.
On that day a heavy frost was felt.
This also helped to ruin crops. Mr.
CroBsland and Walter Steele, of the
Steele-Briggs Co., were at the seeds-
men's convention. E. A. F.

Milford, HI. — J. M. Smith is building
a greenhouse at the comer of Grant
avenue and Iroquois street and will
grow flowers for the trade.

NEW OBLEANS.

Club Meeting.

The New Orleans Horticultural Soci-
ety held its monthly meeting August
17, at Kolb's German tavern. Claude
Ory presided, and C. R. Panter, the
secretary, was at his desk. Many mem-
bers were out of town, either attend-
ing the Baltimore convention or at
the various summer resorts; consequent-
ly there was only a small attendance.

Resolutions were adopted on the
death of Louis Lieber.

Reports from several members
showed that the local market trade
is now almost at a standstill. The
same reports of dullness come from
the storekeepers; the northern ship-
ments have been reduced to a minimum
and consist of roses, carnations, asters,
gladioli, etc.

J. A. Newsham exhibited a fine col-
lection of samples and Crego's asters.
The flowers were large, with long,
strong stems, and were highly com-
mended.

Various Notes.

Charles Eble, C. W. Eichling, Harry
Papworth and TJ. J. Virgin attended
the national convention at Baltimore,
and expected, at its conclusion, to ex-
tend their journey either east or west,
for business purposes. **

P. A. Chopin and family will leave
this week for Hendersonville, N. C, to
take a month's rest. R. ,E.

Asheville, N. C. — E. E. Brown, pro-
prietor of the Brownhurst Greenhouses,
is erecting two more houses, each 22x
135, for carnations and sweet peas. In
these houses he is building cement
beds, with sides two feet high. He is
also changing his heating system from
hot water to steam.

'/ [ 'i ,i ' ithe Market.

The usual supiner dullneBS prevails,
outside of funeral work, which has
been exceptionally good the last f'ew
weeks. Flowers just now are rather
plentiful. Asters are the flowers princi-
pally depended on; these retail at 25
cents and 35 cents per dozen. Carna-
tions are about all gone from the old
^nts; what few are left retail at 35
cents per dozen. Some of the growers
have already planted their young carna-
tion stock in the houses. Sweet peas re-
tail at 40 cents and 50 cents per hundred
blooms. Some nice gladiolus blooms
are to be seen; these bring $2 per
dozen retail; others retail at $1 and
$1.50 per dozen. There are also plenty
of flowers to pick from for bouquets,
etc. We need rain badly. Asters of the
late crop are now making their ap-
pearance.

Various Notes.

Mrs. E. H. Chamberlain is away for
a two weeks' vacation in the White
Mountains.

Early closing is still the rule, with a
balf holiday on Wednesday. W. L.

The Market.

There are plenty of cut flowers of
all kinds to supply the demand. Fine
lots of Harrisii lilies are coming in and
are selling well. Carnations and roses
are improving. Trade at the Sixth
Avenue Market is at a standstill.

Various Notes.

The greatest event of the week was
the fair at the Carthage grounds. Au-

gast 17 was the day for the general
oral display. Ben Georgje. one of our
leading florists, received jmost of the
first prizes. He was first on general
display, first on plants, first on cut flow-
ers, asters, gladioli and roses. Mr.
Brackmeyer received the second prizes.

Arlington, Mass. — The large green-
house holdings of the Frost brothers, on
Pleasant street, Belmont, were still fur-
ther increased recently by the comple-
tion of a 300-foot house on Spring

We have no hesitation in claiming that OXff collection of Standard
Varieties stands preemment among such collect^ns in the country. As
far as only distinct and useful varieties are concerned, it is the result of
the most careful selection from hundreds of varieties from the foremost
European and American introducers, and compjfUM^only those sorts which
years of experience have taught us are the very best in their several different
classes, and which calk be depended on to produce the most satisfactory
results, and which rejMpsent the highest Standard of development yet
obtained in their specaal class or color.

In keeping oui^*!iirt up to this high standard, we are continually adding
many of the newer introductions and discarding some of the old sorts, which
have been favorites but are now superseded by others, which are more
beautiful in form, greater in substance, more exquisite in color, more satis-
factory in growth. ***^

We have prepared^© propagate these in large quantities, having added
thousands of plants ta *>ur already large stock. If you can use them in
large quantities, write us, and we may be able to make you a special price.

We are booking orders for DAHLIA AND CAJfNA Roots for Fall

The Weekly Florists' Review.

AUQDST 24, lOll.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

Business for August has been un-
usually quiet, with only a limited
amount of good stock on the market.
Asters, of the early varieties, have
been short and almost unfit for use
in good bouquet work. Carnations
are a thing of the past, as far as any
quality goes. Koses have been fairly
good, but were found only in limited
<)uantities when it was necessary to use
them. Lilies have been used exten-
sively in funeral work.

Poinsettias appear to be the main
product of the florists this season, as
every one is going in strongly for
them. Begonias are grown largely, but
not by so many of the growers.

(jiladioU are used as a main decor-
ation for the store windows and have
helped out to a large extent. Green
f.Vood3 have given the windows a sum-
mery look for the last month and we
might add that the ideas were clever
and have attracted the attention of
.every passer by. Mill scenes with the
natural flow of water and the little
bridges are almost like the original
country. Htaff'ord, Palmer and Ander-
son .'ire the leaders in this respect.

Various Notes.

Miss 8auer, one of the few single
folks engaged in the florists' business
here, left the ranks last week and was
quietly married. The couple took a
western trip.

David Scott distinguished himself
last week in the ball game between
the Elks and Shriners by making two
three-base hits and catching an ex-
cellent game for the victorious Shriner
team.

.Tohn Grabheintz, who is a graduate
•of the Sangster store, has started in
business for himself on Broadway.

Salem, Mass.— W. T. Walke sold im-
mense quantities of his deep pink snap-
dragon, which was a winner at the Bos-
ton show in March. It is a grand bed-
<ler, as is demonstrated in beds leading
to his trim, well kept place. There are
-three other colors, dwarf varieties sent
out by local seedsmen, that are admi-
rable companions to this pink one.

Waverley, Mass. — When the writer
called, Edgar Bros, were finishing the
harvesting of an immense crop of
Comet tomatoes, to be followed by
«weet peas, sown where they will Dloom.
BobTJdgar says he is studying out what
to work in meanwhile, as there is a long
period between. Mums, planted on the
ground in high houses, are looking fine.

Greenhouse Heating.

' ScBSCKiBERS are invited to write the
editor of the Heating Department, de-
scribing their troubles or askmg any
questions regarding the heating of green-
houses, thQ piping or boiler-room. But
please do not ask us to make a choice of
apparatus for you. Each article adver-
tised in this department of The Review
is good, and the advertisers sell them on
their merits.

THE CHEAPEST FUEL?

1 am building a greenhouse, 32x130
feet and about eleven feet high, for
growing lettuce, cucumbers and to-
matoes. I intend to heat the house with
hot water, but I cannot figure out which
would be the cheapest fuel. Here, in
southwestern Oregon, wood costs $8 per
cord; coal, $8 per ton; gas, $1.50 per
thousand cubic feet, or at the rate of
$1.25 per thousand for 15,000 feet and
$1 per thousand for 30,000 feet. I
shall greatly appreciate any informa-
tion you may give me on the sub-
ject. E.V.M.

So much depends upon the character
of the coal and the heating qualities
of the wood that no really positive an-
swer can be given to this question.
Besides, the amount of wood in a cord
varies in different parts of the coun-
try; while it is a pile eight feet long
and four feet high, the length of the
wood may vary from sixteen inches to
four feet. However, even if it is 4-
foot wood, it is hardly probable that a
cord would have a heating value equal
to that from a ton of coal.

If the coal is a good grade of run
of mine, one ton would probably equal
at least 10,000 cubic feet of gas, so
that at $8 per ton it would be cheaper
than gas at the minimum price of $1
per thousand feet. Even though the
saving of labor in the wav of firing
and removing the ashes when gas is
used is well worth considering, it is
not likely that under any circumstances
the gas would be found as economical
as the coal.

A KANSAS CARNATION HOUSE.

We are building a small greenhouse,
20x40, and should like to know whether
the piping we have planned is enough
to heat it for carnations, in this Kan-
sas climate. We are planning to use
two 2-inch flows along the roof, two
1%-inch returns on each side of the
solid bed, four li4-ineh returns under
each bench, and then a 2-inch return
back to the boiler, which is in the

basement of the house. The green-
house runs north and south and is about
four and one-half feet high to the
eaves, with eighteen inches of glass
in the east and west sides. The south
end contains a good deal of glass;
the north end is a solid stone wall,
with two small windows. We erpect
to bank up the north end with manure
above the windows in Winter. The side
walls and south end are stone also
up to the glass; that is, to the height
of about three feet. The height to the
ridge pole is nine and one-half feet.
We could put another l^-inch pipe all
around the solid bed if necessary. We
shall be grateful for suggestions con-

for each linear foot, it will take four-
teen runs of this size of pipe in the
returns to make up the needed radiat-
ing surface. While the foregoing size
of pipe will give fairly good results
and might be used if one has it on

2%-inch pipes on the plate, with nine
2-inch returns distributed upon the
walls and along the sides of the solid

PAINT FOB STEAM PIPES.

We wish to paint the steam pipes in
our greenhouses. Will you kindly in-
form us whether there is any paint or
preparation known that will not throw
off gases or vapors injurious to the
stock when the pipes are heated?

W. S.

The ordinary coal tar and cheap as-
phalt paints are quite unfit for use in
greenhouses, especially upon the heat-
ing pipes. The better grade of as-
phaltum paints can be used for this
purpose, but, as they give a glossy
surface, the efficiency of the radiat-
ing surface would be somewhat les-
sened. A comparatively cheap, safe
and durable paint can be made by
adding one part of linseed oil to two
or three parts of turpentine and put-
ting in enough lampblack to make a
moderately thick paint.

POSITION OF HEATING PIPES.

Should steam pipes, fastened to the
gutter posts, be placed up near the
gutter or down low, to get the best re-
sults? When two houses are connected,
is it advisable to place two coils on
the same row of posts, or would that
cause too much heat in one place?

J. W. E. & C.

Ordinarily it is best to have the
steam pipes fairly well up from the
ground, under the gutters. In a green-
house there is but little difference in
the distribution of the heat, and by
having the returns somewhat ele-
vated the condensed water more readily
makes its way back to the boiler.

In connected houses there is no ob-
jection to having twice as many pipes
upon the middle gutter posts as in
the case of a single house. On the
other hand, however, if the houses
have raised benches it is often desira-
ble to place rather more of the pipes
under the benches than in single

even distribution of the heat and there
would also be some benefit f roA placing
the pipes under the benches, as they
would furnish bottom heat and this
tends to promote the growth of the
plants upon the benches.

A HOUSE IN SOUTHEBN TEXAS.

Kindly advise me as to the best way
to pipe a greenhouse 32x100 feet, four
feet to the eaves and eleven feet to
the ridge. The coldest weather here is
about 12 or 15 degrees below freezing
point, and there are, altogether, only
from three to five weeks of cold weather
in the whole winter, but the cold snaps
are always accompanied by high north
winds. I have been planning to run
two 2-inch flows from the boiler
straight up to tjae roof of the shed,
where I would ''attach tees, connect
with the expansion tank and run two
2-inch flows near the ridge, with a fall
toward the farther end. From these
I would run two 2-inch returns one each
side at the eaves, two under the mid-
dle bench and one on each side between
the middle bench and the eaves. This
would make ten runs of 2-inch pipes
in all, or would it be better to use
twelve runs of 2-inch pipes?

, •': W. S. H.

The number of pipes will depend con-
siderably on the exposure of the house
as well as the temperature desired. If
it will do no harm to allow the temper-
ature to drop to 50 degrees in the
colder nights, ten 2-inch runs would
probably answer, but if it is necessary
to maintain 60 degrees, more radiation
would be desirable. At any rate, the
use of two 2-inch flow pipes will not
su£Sce in a house of this size. At least
two 2V^-inch pipes would be needed;
or, if 2-inch pipes are preferred for the
flows, put in four 2-inch flows and eight
2-inch returns.

There

Is Economy

in Setting Boilers

in Batteries

■^^•'-; V-^: *

Economy, because you have an absolute control of the coal you bum. You
run only one boiler when one is needed; more, when more are needed. You are
not running one immense boiler with its big grate to keep firing, no mattet what
the weather is. . -, , -. :^i, .«

Boilers in batteries mean not otily
just the amount of heat you need and
no more, but a tremendous saving in
coal and labor.

Then think of the ease with which
the sections of even our large 36^nch
boiler can be handled when setting
up, in comparison with the tremendous
task of installing one of those mam-
moth wrought-steel boilers. Think of
the masonry work necessary— think
of the tubes that in a short time will
need to be replared.

So much for batteries— now a word
concerning the "Bumham" itself.

It's made especially for greenhouse
work, and it works as no other boiler
works- not only a matter of coal
economy but time economy. It's
quickly fired, quickly cleaned, and wa
honestly believe it harnesses up more
heat from less coal than any greenhouse
boiler made.

Here is a suggestion: Order your
Burnham now. Then we will set it
up at the factory at once and give it a
thorough pressure test. Then we will
take it down, mark it, set it aside and
hold it for you. When you are ready,
the boiler will then be ready —no delays.

A good many of our orders for this fall's delivery were booked along in Feb-
ruary. The boiler costs you nothing until deUvered, and it protects you against
delays of the rush season.

Don't simply say— "Why, that's a good idea," and then not do anything.
Send your order and send it this very day.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Business last week did not amount
to much. There was a fair quantity of
stock, but the demand was weak and
there was not much doing. This was
fortunate, as nobody had much time to
attend to business. The local florists
had all they could do working on the
various committees and seeing that
visitors were being cared for.

The Convention.

Now that the twenty-seventh annual
meeting of the S. A. F. is a matter
of history, there is hope in the breast
of every Baltimore florist that all those
throngs of visitors who were with us
during last week were pleased with the
reception they met with in this city,
and that from this time onward they
will always have a good word and a
kindly feeling in their hearts for the
local craft.

Weather conditions were ideal for
the convention and we believe our pre-
diction that Baltimore would prove to
be an ideal convention city has been
verified. The attendance, also, was all
that could be desired. The trade ex-
hibit was fully up to expectations and
was a fine showing of what the flower
business is today. It was a sight worth
seeing and no one could view the varied
and extensive exhibits without learn-
ing something that would pay him
many times for the cost of his trip.

The various local committees had
everything well in hand and all of
the numerous entertainments moved
off smoothly, as had been planned. The
sporting events were well contested
in every instance and the visitors
surely deserved their prizes. We cer-
tainly feel proud of having elected K.
Vincent, Jr., as president of the S. A.
F., and also of having elected Mrs.
E. V. Boone as president of the
Ladies' S. A. F. Q.

An exceptionally high grade hose manufactured
with a woven jacket insertion instead of cotton

The woven jacket construction makes a stronger I

absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening
at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on
cotton duck. This construction also gives a more
flexible Hose and reduces the possibility of kinking.

of 500 pounds per square inch, although its bursting
pressure is far in excess of this.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

Oonditions in general are just the
reverse of what they were a fortnight
ago. In the first place, there is stock
of all kinds galore, with asters and
gladioli predominating. The demand,
however, is far from satisfactory; con-
sequently stock is at the mercy of the
buyers most of the time. Even funeral
work is practically at a standstill.

Various Notes.

Miss Eose Semler, viee-presideut of
the Edlefsen-Leidiger Co., who spent
the last two weeks touring the west, in-
cluding Yellowstone Park, returned
August 21 and pronounced it a grand
trip. She does not intend to return
to work till about September 1.

George Holton, superintendent of the
Humboldt avenue plant of the Holton
& Hunkel Co., is back in the harness,
greatly benefited by his two weeks'
vacation, spent at Waupun and Fox
Lake, visiting friends and liropping
the fish a line.

J. M. Fox 4c Son report having
booked several good- sized wedding
orders for next month.

Mr. and Mrs. C. C. PoUworth, who
attended the S. A. F. convention, are
still in the east, visiting other points
of interest, and are not expected home
till the end of this week.

A card received from Nic Zweifel,
•lated August 12, at Yukon, states that
he is having a great time, enjoying
fine scenery and fine weather. He was
headed for Dawson, Alaska, at the
time of writing.

A visit to the North Milwaukee car-
nation growers, August 20, found all
stock well established and, in spite of
the dry weather which prevailed all
summer, free from red spider and
disease.

E. C. Cleveland, who was employed
at the greenhouses of the C. C. Poll-
worth Co. for a year and a half, opened
the Cleveland Floral Shop at 934 Na-
tional avenue about July 1. He says
that business so far, in spite of the
dull season, has been away ahead of
expectations. He is a Milwaukee boy
and we trust that he will make good.

E. O,

New Oaatle, Ind. — ^Work has been
begun on the new greenhouses for P.
.T. Lynch. It is the present intention
to erect and stock four houses, each
300 feet long, before winter.

from carrying away the mulch. The
covering should not be heavy. Without
it the late frosts will heave many of the
plants out of the ground and the losses
are likely to be considerable.

October is an excellent month in which
to plant the bulk of perennials. Some
sorts, such as Anemone Japonica, Lo-
belia cardinalis, pompon chrysanthemums,
incarvilleas and some others, should not
be planted until spring. Iris, both Ger-
man and Japanese, will succeed far bet-
t r and show a far smaller percentage
of loss if planted late in August or dur-
ing the first half of September. Too deep
planting will kill them. They are also
liable to rot if on ground not well
drained, and a heavy mulch is also in-
jurious. Peonies will do well planted

either in September or October. The
earlier ones w.ll do the best. Phloxes,
delphiniums, aconitums, aquilegias, etc.,
do well set out in October.

Possibly the reason some of your
shrubs died was that you brought the
roots in direct contact with the layers
of manure. No shrubs or trees want
manure about their roots when planted.
Keep it below, or, better stUl, use it
above as a mulch. Thousands of shrubs
are killed annually by purchasers who
get the erroneous idea that they will
hurry them along by using manure freely
in the soil at planting time. When ma-
nure is used at all, it must be thoroughly
incorporated with the soil and should al-
ways be well decayed. C. W.

DISCOLORED BOSE FOLIAQE.

I am sending you under separate
cover some samples of rose foliage, the
condition of which I am at a loss to
account for. The plants were set out
in May. They were good, healthy
plants at the time and appeared to be
doing well until a couple of weeks ago,
when the foliage on some of the plants
commenced to turn like the samples.
The leaves on our rose stock turned
like this two years ago and the plants
gradually died. We shall be glad if
you can give any remedy for it, or
suggest any cause for' the disease, as
the plants have received the best of
attention, and until the last two sea-
sons we have never been similarly
troubled. E. E. G.

The foliage f prwarded has a browned
and burnt-like appearance around the
edges. There are several possible rea-
sons for this trouble. If you are in
the habit of fumigating with hydro-
cyanic acid gas and have given an
overexposure or used it on a warm
night, occasional plants through the
house will be similarly affected. Too
much ammonia in the atmosphere is
another possible cause. Sometimes
growers mulch with fresh cow manure
in the hot weather and, unless there
is an abundance of ventilation night
and day, some of the foliage will be
affected in this way, plants at times
losing all their leaves.

I would advise keeping some air on
all night as long as you can. Do not
close up the house tightly at all. It will
also be the best of economy to use a
little fire heat on damp and cloudy
days and every evening after this
time; also avoid doing any damping
in the house after 2 o'clock, so that

a dry, buoyant atmosphere will pre-
vail at night. C. W.

SPOTTED BOSE LEAVES.

Can you tell me the reason for the
enclosed rose leaves being spotted t

H.Y.

I presume the leaves are from plants
under glass. They were quite dried up
when received. As near as I can
diagnose, there is black spot on your
rose foliage. This is liable to attack
American Beauty, as well as Richmond
and one or two other varieties to a
less extent. The usual cause is syring-
ing too late in the day. If the foliage
is damp at nightfall, you are pretty
sure to get a dose of the dreaded black
spot. An atmosphere overcharged with
moisture is also bad and'will help pro-
duce the same disease. The remedy
is to do all the watering and syring-
ing early in the day. Never syriiige
on dull days. If, perchance, a clear
morning gives place to dark skies and
rain, take a cane and go over your
plants, tapping them to throw off as
much water as possible. Keep some
steam or hot water in the mains. Do
not close the house up tightly, but
leave on a little air all night for some
time yet. Later in the season this
black spot is a disease to be feared,
but if you use due care in syringing
and are not niggardly on coal it can
be kept away.

We have had a hot summer and the
undue forcing has made roses softer
than usual. A sharp watch is there-
fore necessary to keep black spot,
aphis and mildew in check. It is early
for black spot. The soft growth due
to heat makes the plants more suscepti-
ble, however. C. W.

WINTERING HABDY BOSES.

We are growing several thousand
hybrid perpetual and hybrid tea roses

in the field and are anxious to learn
the best method of wintering them.
Can these roses be heeled in deep
frames in soil or sand? Can they be
safely wintered with a protection of
manure around the outside an^ with
sashes over the top? If you know of
any better way, we should be pleased
to have you tell us of it. We live in
central Ohio. L. S. C

The hybrid perpetual roses should
winter outdoors in your latitude if the
earth about them is drawn up to the
stems to the height of six or eight
inches before the ground freezes. If
these are wanted for spring sales, your
plan of heeling them in frames, with
sashes over them, will be all right. Do
not put the sashes on until the soil
about the plants is well frozen. Air
out freely during any open spells dur-
ing the winter, to dry up any moldi-
ness appearing. Soak the roots of the
roses well with water if heavy rains
are not forthcoming after they are
heeled in. If the roots get at all dry,
they may apparently winter well, but
will speedily go to pieces when planted
out in the spring. This is the trou-
ble with many roses which are lifted,
tied in convenient bundles and heeled
in sand or loam, which is too often far
drier than it ought to be.

Hybrid teas are more tender than
hybrid perpetuals. The same winter
treatment under sashes is excellent for
them. Where frames, sheds or cellars
are not at disposal, any of these roses
can be wintered successfully by dig-
ging trenches on land with a good
slope, where water can not stand, and
burying the plants entirely, doing the
work just before freezing weather.

day, Page & Co., New York. Size, 6%x8 inches;
201 pages; thirty-one full-page halftone Illustra-
tions. Price, net, $1.10; postage, 10 cents.]

"Chrysanthemums and How to Grow
Them," by I. L. Powell, is one of two
books that have just been published
a ^'additions to the series of volumes
entitled the Garden Library.

In ,any attempt to form an opinion
of a book of this sort — a handbook or
manual, for daily guidance in some one
of life's industries — the first question
that arises, and demands an answer is:
"Does the author possess a practical
knowledge of the subject, a knowledge
derived largely from personal experi-
ence, or is he a mere spinner of theo-
ries?" In this case the author is so
widely known among florists that, as
chairmen of public meetings are wont
to say, he needs no introduction. He
is head gardener on the estate of Sam-
uel Thorne, at Millbrook, N. Y. He
is a member of the Chrysanthemum So-
ciety of America and also of the So-
ciety 0f American Florists. And he
has skill in writing as well ^s in chrys-
anthemum growing; the language of
his book is clear and pointed.

A few of the chapter titles might
be mentioned, as giving some idea of
the helpful character of the book. On
picking up the volume, the reader be-
gins, as is befitting, with "Points for
the Beginner," and advances through
"Preparing the Soil and Propaga-
tion," "The Science and Practice
of Feeding," "Growing Exhibition
Blooms," "Growing for Commercial
Purposes," etc., until he ends with

and "Types and Varieties." At the
close he also finds that which, for some
mysterious reason, is often entirely
lacking in otherwise good books — a
well arranged index.

The book is neatly bound in green
cloth and the type is large and plain.
The illustrations are instructive as well
as attractive, as may be inferred from
some of their titles. For instance,
there are pictures of "Buds and Dis-
budding," "Boot Cuttings," "Tak-
ing the Bud," "The Growth of the

York. Size, 6%x8 Inches; 315 pages; thirty -one
full-page halftone Illustrations. Price, net, $1.10;
postage, 10 cents.]

An extended description of this book,
"Vines and How to Grow Them,"
by William C. McCollom, is scarcely
necessary, since much that has just
been said about another volume in the
series is equally applicable, in a gen-
eral way, to this one. The style of
binding, printing and illustrating is
the same in both cases. This book,
like the other, is written by a prac-
tical gardener, who, besides under-
standing his subject, also understands
the use of words. Mr. McCollom has
an established reputation as a writer
for the horticultural press.

The first few chapter headings, sug-

festive of the entire contents of the
ook, are as follows: "Uses and
Habits of Vines," "When and How
to Plant," "Soil and Cultivation,"
"Supports and Trellises," "Pruning
and Management," "Insects and Dis-
eases, " " Winter-killing and How to
Prevent It." The titles of some of
the illustrations are: "How Vines
Climb," "Before and After Prun-
ing," "When and When Not to
Prune," "The Pergola in Winter and
Summer," etc. The volume closes
with a list of "Vines for Special Pur-
poses," a "Selected List of Climb-
ing Eoses," a "Planting Table for
Vines," and an index.

If these two handbooks are fair
samples of the volumes in the Garden
Library, the series as a whole is of
much practical value. For sale by

HOME-SAVED CYCLAMEN SEED.

In the fall of 1909 I bought some
quite expensive cyclamen seeds from a
European specialist and raised about
1,000 fine plants. This summer I saved
about a couple of thousand seeds from
the plants. Can I get as good cycla-
mens from seeds of my own saving as
the ones I bought from the specialist'

H.H.

Your home saved cyclamen will grow
and flower all right, but you will prob-
ably not find the quality as satis-
factory as from the choice English
and German imported strains, which
are all carefully hand-pollinated and
kept in batches of distinct colors to
keep the varieties and types true.

Rhapis Flabelliformis.

SHAPIS FLABELLIFOBMIS.

Oood for House Decoration.

Ehapis flabelliformis, of which a
good picture is here presented, is by no
means a new palm, though not so com-
mon as the kentias and arecas have be-
come of late years. It was introduced
to Europe from its native home in
southern China more than 100 years
ago, or, to be exact, in the year 1774.
It is a fan-leaved palm, the segments
of the leaves being blunt, tind erose —
that is, having the appearance of hav-
ing been bitten off at the ends — and it
is not a rapid-growing plant.

Owing in part to the last mentioned
characteristic, and also to the fact that
it is propagated chiefly by division, it
is not easy to work up a stock of this
palm. Consequently, in many estab-
lishments it has been set aside in favor
of species that may be grown and
propagated more rapidly.

The Seeds are Scarce.

Under cultivation this palm seldom

soeds; hence its seeds are rarely offered

in the market, one reason for this being

found in the fact that some plants pro-

duce only male lowers, others only
female, and occasionally plants are
found bearing perfect flowers from
which fertile seeds result.

A common name for this palm is the
ground rattan, and it is said that the
slender, cane-like stems are used com-
mercially in China and Japan, and are
sometimes exported.

The culture of Ehapis flabelliformis
presents no special difficulty and it will
flourish under the same treatment as
is ordinarily given to kentias, though
enduring a lower temperature than the
kentias without injury, and as its foli-
age is tough and hard, it is really an
excellent palm for house decoration.

Division of the plants should be per-
formed in the spring or early summer,
being careful to retain as much root as
possible with the divisions, and the
divided plants should be kept in a
rather close atmosphere, syringed
freely, and protected from the sun until
they become established.

There is also a variegated form of
this palm, the leaves of which are
striped with yellow, but it is somewhat
weaker in growth than the type, and
of less value. W. H. T.

FEBTILIZEB FOR CARNATIONS.

Would you put the blood, bone and
potash fertilizer in carnation soil be-
fore filling the benches? S. M.

Well rotted cow or stable manure is
the safest manure for your carnations.
It woTild be all right to add some fine
bone, but the blood, bone and potash
mixture I would prefer not to use now.
Bather apply it in the form of surface
dressings, which, however, the plants
should no't require until after Christ-
mas if the soil has been well prepared.
C. W.

TOPPING CARNATIONS.

I have planted my first bench of
carnations — Enchantress and White En-
chantress. They are doing well and
are throwing up shoots. Some of the
plants have shoots from six to eight
inches in length. Will you please tell
me just how these should be broken
back, how often the plants should be
trimmed and when they will begin
blooming? They were planted during
the last week of July. M. P.

The time for you to stop topping
your carnations should depend on when
you want to begin to cut blooms. At
this time of the year you can figure
on about six to eight weeks from the
time the bud shows until the bloom
is open. If you do not care to cut
many blooms until the mums are gone,
then I would advise you to go over the
beds and top back every shoot that
is near showing a bud the last week
in August. In breaking back the
shoots, simply break the stem just
above the highest joint you want to
leave. Follow the same rule as in top-
ping in the field, always striving to
keep your plants symmetrical.

FREPARINa CARNATION SOIL.

I wish to ask your advice as to old
land for greenhouse soil. I have some

plowed in cow manure — about one-
sixth part manure. Now, what is best
for sod? How would rye or crimson
clover do, if plowed under in the fall?
When is the best time to sow crimson
clover? J. C.

If you wish to use this soil for your
carnations next summer, I would ad-
vise you to sow it down at once with
cowpeas and rye. Let it grow until
late in the fall and then turn it un-
der. Another plan would be to sow it
to crimson clover at once and turn that
under in the spring after it has made
several inches of growth. If your soil
is heavy, I would advise you to use
the cowpeas and rye, but if the soil
is in good condition and you merely
want to add more fertility, then use

the clover. Your seedsman can tell
you how much to use of any one of
them to a given area. If you had a
couple of years to prepare this soil,
you could get a good blue grass sod,
but you have not enough time if you
want to use the soil next year.

SCHIZANTHUS IN POTS.

When and how should we plant the
seeds of the various types of schizan-
thus to insure blooms on inside pot
plants as early as possible? Any in-
formation as to planting or culture
will be appreciated. C. B.

For an early batch of schizanthus,
seed should have been sown during the
first week in August, in pans or flats.
Pot off the seedlings singly, or prick
off in flats and pot later. Grow in
frames, in preference to greenhouses,
until the end of October. Then place
in a cold house, where the night tem-
perature runs from 40 to 45 degrees
at night. To keep them bushy, pinch
several times before allowing them to

flower. Grow them as cool and airy as
possible, to make them stocky. A tem-
perature of 50 degrees or over will
make them drawn and unsightly.
Schizanthus are quite strong feeders
and like a generous compost, with fre-
quent waterings with liquid manure
when established in their flowering
pots, which should be six to eight
inches in diameter.

Schizanthus Wisetonensis is the best
variety for pot culture, being of a
dwarf habit. Grandiflorus oculatus re-
tusus and others grow too tall. Suc-
cessional sowings can be made at in-
tervals a month apart and plants had
in flower from Christmas to Memorial
day. If preferred, seed can be started
in small pots, leaving three seedlings
in each. The only trouble with this
plan is that you are liable to get more
than one color in a pot. S. Wiseton-
ensis is not procurable in separate col-
ors; the prevailing shades are all pleas-
ing, being mainly pink or white. C. W.

NAME OF ELDER.

Can you give me the name of the
elder, a leaf of which I send under
separate cover? I have tried to buy
seedlings from catalogue descriptions,
but fail to get the same variety.

W. G. S.

The variety is called Sambucus nigra
laciniata.

C. W.

I SEASONABLE ^^a^^^s^
I ^^^n^^ SUGGESTIONS |

Cinerarias. . V

Growth is now quite rapid on the
cinerarias. They love cool nights
and their progress is now amazing
when compared with that made a few
weeks ago. A coldframe is the proper
place for them for some weeks yet
and leave the sashes off entirely on
cloudy days and at night. Never let
the plants get at all potbound. They
root quickly if the compost is suitable.
Two-thirds good pasture loam, one-
third well decayed manure and some
sand added make a good potting soil.
Do not use leaf-mold, except in the
early stages of growth, and when the
final shift is given add a 4-inch pot of
fine bone to each wheelbarrow load of
loam. With cooler weather green
aphis is likely to be troublesome. The
old plan of scattering tobacco stems
among the pots is now largely done
away with. Dipping or spraying with
nicotine, or fumigation, are safer and
neater ways to keep the plants clean.
Spread out the plants frequently, as
they soon crowd one another.

Marguerites.

It is now possible to get some nice
propagating wood on the old marguerite
stock plants carried over. Get a good
batch of these in the sand. They will
make fine flowering plants for Easter

in 6-inch or 7-inch pots, or are equally
useful to provide flowers for cutting.
Probably you have planted out a quan-
tity of stock plants. If these are
shapely and bushy, dig up and pot a
number of the best. Shade a little
until wilting ceases. Keep outdoors
as long as frost holds aloof. These
will get nicely rooted before being
housed and will give a good crop of
flowers by Christmas, a time wh3n
marguerite flowers are not abundant
and are much appreciated. Do not omit
the new marguerite, Mrs. F. Sander.
All the plants do not come double, but
even the single or semi-double forms
are excellent and distinct.

Cyclamen.

Now is the time to sow a good sized
batch of cyclamen seed to flower in the
winter and early spring of 1912-13. A
few plants will no doubt be flowering
for Thanksgiving and large numbers
for Christmas. Ked and deep pinks
are ready sellers around the holidays,
and it will pay to purchase distinct
shades rather than mixtures, which al-
ways contain a greater or less per-
centage of almost unsalable shades.
For spring sales pure white, salmon
and clear pink are excellent colors to
grow.

Sow the seed in flats of light, sandy
soil, covering them lightly , with fin©

t..... .. Ai.

la

sand. Give them a warm, moist house
and keep the flats covered with glass
and paper until the seeds germinate.
When this occurs, keep the seedlings
well up to the light to prevent their
becoming drawn, but still grow them
moderately warm. It is better to sow
the seeds moderately thickly and trans-
plant into shallow flats, but there are
some growers who sow rather thinly
and leave the plants in the flats until
they are potted off.

Plants being grown in the frames
for fall and winter flowering, soon
should have their final shift. They
like a fairly rich soil. The manure
used should be old and of the sort
that <*rumbles readily through the
fingers. Use a good deal of sand; the
plants like it. As a general rule, 5-
inch and 6-inch pots are the most
salable sizes to grow; 4-inch have some
sale, however, and are useful for mak-
ing up into pans for Christmas. Extra
strong plants can go in 7-inch and 8-
inch pots for later flowering, but, of
course, these must be sold at a pro'
portionately higher price to make them
profitable.

Use sashes over the plants only when
there are heavy rains or on cold nights.
Lath shades, which let the air in freely,
are the best and treated thus the plants
will be dwarf and stocky, while with
shaded glass they must become much
drawn. Look out for thrips. Spray
the plants with nicotine every week
to keep them clean. Any plants show-
ing curled up and deformed leaves
should be thrown away. This may bo
due in part to aphis attacks, but more
generally is due to cyclamen mite, for
which no real cure is yet known.

Bulb Compost.

The early Dutch bulbs are already
at hand and soon the main shipments
will arrive. Take time by the forelock
and see that there is an adequate sup-
ply of flats in good repair, pans and
pots for them. Now is also the time
to prepare a good compost heap, if
this is not already done. It is a com-
mon heresy that any old soil is good
enough for bulbs. Do not believe any
such nonsense. Dutcli bulbs like a
generous compost, as well as ot^er
plants. Plant a batch in pure loam
with sand added and another lot in
soil containing one-third decayed cow
manure or spent hotbed manure and
note the difference in the growth. Do
not use any leaf-mold. It is too light
for bulbs, nor should any bone or
chemicals be added, but sharp sand
can be mixed in freely with advantage.

Transplanting Evergreens.

We have had excellent weather dur-
ing the last days of August for mov-
ing evergreens. With the possible ex-
ception of spring, from now until the
end of September is the best time to
do any transplanting of this class of
stock. Select a cloudy day. Be sure
to soak the roots well before giving
the final filling in, and if the plants
have had a ball of earth they will in
nearly every case grow. A mulch of
old manure after planting is beneficial.
Not only pines, spruces, junipers, retino-
sporas, arbor-vitses, etc., but also any
of the broad-leaded varieties, which in-
clude rhododendrons, kalmias and
andromedas, will transplant success-
fully now, and as at this season there
is not such a rush of work as in April
and May, the nurseries can fill orders
better and more speedily and the trees

or shrubs can be planted with greater
care.

Foinsettias.

It is now too late to do any furtheT
propagating of poinsettias, even for
small pans. Make the plants up into
pans before they become too much pot-
bound and use some small nephrolepis.
Asparagus Sprengeri, Cyperus alterni-
folius or other green plants among
them. These make a nice garnishing
at the bottoms of the flowering stems
and take away any nakedness caused
by loss of leaves. Plants in benches
should be kept tied up to keep the
stems straight. Any which are to be
flowered in 5-inch or 6-inch pots should
be firmly potted for their final shift,
and use good loam and cow manure
as a compost. The nights are not yet
suflSciently cool to warrant the use of
fire heat. This is most necessary after
the bracts show.

COSMOS LADY I£NOX.

Will you give me some information
in regard to Lady Lenox cosmos? Is
it practical to lift them and pot them
in pails for late flowers? If so, when
would be the best time to begin doing
it, and would it pay? I live in the
state of Rhode Island. J. C.

If the cosmos plants are not too tall
and unwieldy, they can easily be lifted
and potted, or placed in pails or small
tubs in a cool greenhouse to flower.
Much finer cosmos flowers are produced
under glass than outdoors. They flower
at a time when chrysanthemums aro
abundant, but there are many pur-
chasers who welcome a change from
mums, and good flowers sell readily
in the large markets.

Lady Lenox cosmos is a late bloomer
and can not be depended upon to flow-
er in your state outdoors, unless frost
holds off later than usual. The pres-
ent is a suitable time to dig up and
pot cosmos. Choose, if possible, a cool,
cloudy day, with the soil moist, and
endeavor to get a little ball with the
roots. After potting, they will require
spraying and shading for a few days
until established. Another year, if you
want some good plants of this cosmos.
Sow the seed in April. Keep them in

pots or boxes outdoors and pinch un-
til the end of August. House them
when frost threatens. Such plants
will give far superior flowers to tho
lifted ones. C. W.

THE WITTMAN FAMILY.

One of the popular families in the
trade circles at New York is that of
Rudolph Wittman, 806 Ann street, West
Hoboken, N. J. You will see the reason
for it in the accompanying illustration,
which is reproduced from a snapshot
made at the recent outing of the New
York Florists ' Club. Here is prosperity,
peace, and good-fellowship. It is the
reward of the grower who knows his
business and attends to it.

DISEASED IBIS.

Last fall I bought several hundred
Japanese iris from a leading grower.
I planted them during October and have
not a single plant to show. This spring
I dug a few of them and the roots
seemed in good condition, but had
made absolutely no growth and did
not seem to have taken any hold on
the earth. What cause would you as-
scribe for this failure? A large assort-
ment of perennials planted at the same
time, and in the same patch, all did well,
among them being phlox, peonies and
German iris. Last fall I also planted a
few Iris pallida Dalmatica, and a few
of the same variety this spring. All did
well this spring, the fall planted ones
blooming. The fall planted ones all
died shortly after blooining, and the
spring planted ones have been gradually
dying out during the summer, and are
now all gone. I have never had this
trouble with any other iris, though I
have quite a large collection.

W. G. S.

It is just possible you may have a
disease on your Iris pallida Dalmatica
and Japanese varieties. The stems
keep rotting off until the whole plant
goes. Too much rank manure about
the roots will help to start this, but it
often appears on establisneu plants. The
only remedy is to dig them up and
plant them on fresh ground, well
drained, using some lime in the soil.

ThcWcckly Florists^ Review*

AUOUST 31, 1911.

PROPAGATING.

September is sufficiently early to do
any propagating, even in the colder
states, although some growers start in
August and stand the flats of cuttings
in the open air until rooted. The
trouble with this plan is that torrential
rains will so saturate the flats that
many cuttings will rot, especially if
loam is used in the flats. Clean sand
is safest and should be quite sharp,
with a good drainage of broken crocks
or cinders covered with moss.

In making cuttings early, we find
it an advantage to let them lie on the
benches at least a few hours after
making, to take some of the excessive
sappiness out of them. Short- jointed,
firm wood cuttings are more likely to
root than long, soft ones. The firmer
and harder the wood, the less likeli-
hood is there of their damping off. Trim
oflE the leaves closely. Cut below a leaf
joint. Cuttings will root if this is
not done, but chances of damping off
are greater. Soak well with water.
Give full sun and keep a little on the
dry side until rooted. Some prefer to
keep them under glass, but good results
can be had from open air treatment.
Do not propagate too early; October
or even November are excellent months
for rooting cuttings. Any time before
frost comes will be found all right.

WINTER GERANIUMS.

The geranium plants for winter
flowering should now go into their
flowering pots. Those five and six
inches in diameter are suitable. Let
any manure used be thoroughly de-
cayed and add some bone to the com-
post. What we want is a firm, short-
jointed growth. Given this, we may
be sure plants will flower freely. If,
however, rank, soft wood is produced,
the soil has an excess of nitrogen or
the plants have been overfed. Clay's
fertilizer is an excellent stimulant,
either in liquid or dry form; so is
Bon Arbor where the plants need quick
stimulating. Fine bone is good for top-
dressing. Keep the plants pinched
back for some time and remove all
flower trusses as they appear. For
Thanksgiving flowers do no pinching
of the shoots after the end of Septem-
ber and for Christmas discontinue by
the middle of October. Allow six
weeks for flower trusses to properly de-
velop in an average night temperature
of 50 degrees.

DIVIDING HYDRANGEA OTAKSA.

Will you please inform me how and
when to divide large sized Hydrangea
Otaksaf H. K.

While this hydrangea can be di-
vided, this plan of propagation is sel-
dom resorted to, as it is so easily and
expeditiously raised from cuttings of
soft wood, which root in three weeks
in a cutting bench, and if started early

will develop into strong stock in 8-inch
pots in a season. The cuttings can be
planted in the field in May, kept well
cultivated, and potted early in Octo-
ber; It would be better to throw away
any big, overgrown Otaksas and not
waste time and energy in dividing.
The results would at best be indiffer-
ent plants as compared with those
started from cuttings. C. W.

WINTER STORAGE OF PLANTS. '

Will the general run of perennials
keep in good condition for spring plant-
ing if dug in the fall and stored in a
storage cellar in boxes of earth? I
followed this plan in handling Clematis
paniculata last fall, and though the
plants seemed in good condition this
spring, most of them being in bud, I
had heavy losses in planting.

W. G. S.

While a large variety of trees, shrubs
and climbers can be lifted and stored
in cellars over winter, such plants,
while convenient to get at for filling
orders, never .prove so satisfactory as

stock dug from the open ground. The
roots get too dry in many cases, and
the plants, when exposed to bhu and
air, usually die back badly. Clematis
paniculata is one climber which does
poorly if fall planted. Even if dug and
stored, many plants will die. Leave it
outdoors and your losses will be prac-
tically nil. C. W.

SUPPORTS FOR HOUSES.

In one of my greenhouses the posts
show signs of commencing to rot in
spots. The roof and benches are in
good condition. Would a casing of
about three inches of concrete around
the three open sides strengthen the
posts and prevent further rotting, or
would 2-inch iron pipes with plates
on top, put in between the posts, be
better? The plates are heavy timbers r
4x8; the sides are five and one-half
feet high, with sixteen inches of side
glass. The ground does not freeze
around the posts, as there is a lean-te
on each side. The posts are 5x6 inches
thick, six feet apart, and set two feet
deep in cement. M. 6.

Placing a casing of cement on three
sides of the posts would not materially
assist in staying their decay. Even if
you placed it on all four sides, you
would not be getting so good a sup-
port as from the 2-inch iron pipes with
plates on top, put in between the pres-
ent posts. But why not try supports
of concrete alternated between the
present posts? It is the most durable
form of supports and is as cheap as.
wood. C. W.

PLANTING TIME.

September is the best month in the
year for transplanting peonies. Of
course, they can be moved in October,
or even November, but September
planting permits of the stock getting
nicely established before winter, and
if good plants are set out quite a
little bloom will be produced the fol-
lowing season. Large, overgrown
clumps, which have become practically
blind, should be lifted and divided
with a sharp spade. It is practically
impossible to pull these apart, and a
chopping through of the roots seems
to have no injurious effects, any more
than on other perennials. ^

Peonies love a well prepared soil. It
should, if possible, be two feet deep;
more if possible, but few soils exceed
the former depth and many fall far
short of it. Use plenty of well rotted
cow or horse manure; bone meal is also
good. Fertilizer should not come in
direct contact with the roots. Do not

cover the crowns too deeply. A heU
was seen some years ago doing poorly
and examination showed that there
was twelve to fifteen inches of soil
over the tops of the clumps. Thi»
might do well for many lilies, but is
ruinous for peonies.

PEONIES NOT BLOOMING.

The Eeview of August 10, page 22,.
contained an inquiry in regard to a
failure in peony culture, with a reply
by William A. Peterson, the well known
nurseryman. The inquirer stated, in
substance: "We divided some peony
clumps about five or six years ago and
they never amounted to anything. A
number of small, sickly looking stalks
came up every year, but did not grow
more than a foot high; they stayed
green all summer and never bloomed. "^
Mr. Peterson replied by mentioning the
following four common causes of
"sulkiness" of peonies: Too dee(p
planting, leaving too many eyes on a

division, BOgginess of the ground and
planting at an unfavorable time, either
very late in the fall or at any time in
the spring.

Another suggestion on the subject is
now offered by B. C. Auten, of Car-
thage, Mo., who says: "In addition to
the reasons given by Mr. Peterson for
peonies not blooming, I think that pos-
sibly another condition may upon oc-
casion be responsible, namely, exces-
sive winter drought. Mine bloomed
well last year where they bloomed but
poorly this season. I think it was the
same condition, too, which caused the
heavy loss of outdoor narcissi."

THE TEACHEB-FLOBIST.

Though W. B. DuRie, of Rah way,
N, J., has won wide prominence as a
florist, he has really spent most of his
life as a teacher — "teaching the young
idea how to shoot," instead of watch-
ing and tending the shooting of flower
buds. He is still principal of a school
in Jersey City and spends five busy
days of each week there, with seventy
teachers under his direction.

His venture into the florists' field
was at first intended as a recreation.
Now his two sons and his foreman and
manager find enough local patronage to
utilize all the stock that can be grown
under his 10,000 square feet of glass
and on his ten acres of scientifically
cultivated land. He is still young and
mentally and physically active, though
over 70 years of age. He has been a
resident of Eahway for nearly two score
years. J. Austin Shaw.

MITE ON CYCLAMEN ULA.VES.

If A. W. F. & S., who ask for in-
formation regarding mite on cyclamen
leaves in the item on page 74 of
The Review for August 3, will try dust-
ing the plants and bulbs with dry to-
bacco powder about twice a week and
persist in the treatment until the leaves
appear in good form, they will be rid
of the mite for the season. It will not
injure the leaves or bulb in the least.
Give a good, heavy dusting and let them
stand twenty-four hours before using
the hose on them. E. B. B.

PYLE IN EUEOPE.

Commenting on the interview on
pages 18 and 19 of last week's issue
of The Review, Robert Pyle says:

"The illustration of Mr. Lemoine
was taken, not in the Bagatelle gar-
dens, but at his home place in Nancy,
France, when and where his father,
past 80, was lying ill. The Crystal
Palace show was a part of the Festival
of Empire held throughout most of
the summer as a feature of Coronation
year. The best show from a rosarian's
viewpoint was not the Olympia show, of
the R. H. S., but the annual show of
the National Rose Society, held at the
Botanic Gardens in Regent's park. The
crowds at both would please the heart
of an American florist."

NAME OF PLANT.

Can you tell me the name of the
plant, a specimen of which I am send-
ing under separate cover T Also let
me know whether there are other va-
rieties. V. H. T. & B.

The specimens forwarded were pretty
well withered when received, but one
flower freshened up in water and re-

vealed its identity. This is Achi-
menes longiflora major, a variety of one
of the most beautiful of greenhouse
summer-flowering plants. There are
many other varieties of achimenes. A
few good ones are: Margaretta, large,
pure white; Admiration, deep rose;
longiflora alba, white, markings in cen-
ter; Mauve Queen, mauve, a fine sort;
Scarlet Perfection, carmine scarlet, and
Pink Perfection, rich rose. The va
riety you have, longiflora major, is one
of the best in cultivation. C. W.

watered, or if they are where there is
seepage water. Gypsum and similar
chemicals might be helpful, but should
not be trusted, as frequent renewal
would be necessary. If beds are to be
used, a better way would be to line the
bottom of the beds with hollow, flat
building tile. This would give excellent
drainage and would cut off the alkali
water from below.

OB0X7ND BEDS ON ALELALI SOIL.

We are building four greenhouses
here, in the southeastern part of Wash-
ington state. The plot of ground covered
by these houses contains' more or less
white and black alkali, and, as we will
use no benches, we intend to excavate
eight inches of this inferior soil and fill
in with first-class soil, absolutely free
from alkali. We will also use two runs
of 4-inch drain tile in each house, and
grow our products — that is, hothouse
lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and other
crops — on this ground bed. Is there any
danger that the alkali may come up and
damage our crops? If so, can you sug-
gest anything that we might use to neu-
tralize this alkali f The worst of the soil
which is to be removed is suitable for
some crops and we notice that wheat,
blue grass, corn, alfalfa, clover anO
weeds of various kinds seem to do quite
well on it, but chrysanthemums, lettuce,
tomatoes -and cucumbers seem to burn up
or make only a dwarfed growth on it.

PLANTS X7NDEB PINES.

I have quite a large pine grove that
1 have the care of every summer. Is
there any kind of grass, or any kind
of shrub;^ or any kind of plant that
I could get to grow under the pines t
F. C.

If the pines are quite thick, it wil)
not be easy to grow either grass or any
variety of plants below them. The de-
caying needles seem poisonous to most
vegetation. If the location is not too
high and dry, try planting the native
cinnamon fern, Osmunda cinnamomea,
below them. I have had quite good suc-
cess with this fern where the pines
were on rather low ground, and if the
soil is good, which is, however, often
not the case where white pines thrive
best, it might pay you to try them.
Where the branches of the pines do not
come too near the ground, you can get
a fair growth on Vaccinium corym-
bosum, blueberry, also on the Partridge
berry, Mitchella repens. Where the
trees are isolated or not too crowded,
grass will grow moderately well if the
needles are kept raked up. Rhode
Island bent seems to grow as well as
anything below pines, but Kentucky
blue grass will also succeed if it is fed
a little each year. 0. W.

MES. TEEEY'S PEOSPEEITY.

"When Mrs. Carrie M. Terry started
in the florists' business at Phoebus, Va.,
a few years ago, it was as in the cases
of so many others who grew plants for
their own amusement and found a com-
mercial demand for them. Mrs. Terry
began four years ago, renting half a
store and buying practically all the
stock she used. The business grew until
now she has three greenhouses attached
to her own store building and has re-
cently put up the small display house
in which the accompanying kodak por-
trait was made.

NEW YOEK.

The Market.

The long drought is broken. The
first day of this week furnished a 24-
hour, rain that has saved the late
vegetable crops of Long Island and
Jersey. Monday's temperature was
hugging 90 degrees and the humidity
was oppressive. Its effect was mani-
fest in the cut flower market and busi-
ness was slow, though a hardening ten-
dency is noticeable and the general
verdict is that the worst is over. "With
the advent of September, and the ar-
rival of a better grade of roses and
carnations, the improvement is expect-
ed to be continuous.

Every one predicts a splendid fall
and winter trade. Betailers are busy
with decorative and improved features
in their handsome stores and glad of
the summer lull in business that gives
them this opportunity. The summer
has been a trying one, and apart from
funeral work there has been little to
do. The scene is changing. The sum-
mer resorts are rapidly giving back
their devotees, society is returning and
schools are opening. Soon there will
be a hundred theaters in full blast,
and every opening means a flood of
flowers for the stars and lesser lights.
Already this outlet for the surplus com-
missions of Wall street is making its
influence felt.

Now come the chrysanthemums.
There were a lot of Golden Glow in the
market August 26. They sold quickly,
and the best brought a fair price,
considering the tremendous shipments
of asters and gladioli. The market is

overwhelmed with just one thing

after another. Some of the stock is
hard to give away. Purple . asters are
80 numerous they create a gloomy feel-
ing.

Every good American Beauty rose
that arrives finds ready sale. There
are not enough of them, nor of the
best grade of Brides, Maids and Kil-
larneys. For the best good prices are,
of course, obtainable, but for the short-
stemmed roses it would be a crime to
quote the figures that prevail. The
waste in the last few weeks has been
^ abnormal

New carnations have arrived, small
and short-stemmed as yet, and meeting
little demand. Gladioli have felt the
serious eflfects of the long dry season.
Only stock of the best quality hag
sold at over 50 cents per hundred.
There is still an abundance offered,
mostly of the lower grades. These
and asters have dominated things all
through the month of August. There
is no change in the price of lilies and
valley. There are few orchids arriv-
ing and prices are firm.

There is no let-up t^^ the stream of

tritomas and hydrangeas, and golden-
rod has begun to add its charm and
brilliancy to the window decorative
effect in many retail establishments.
Various Notes.

Everyone is home from the conven-
tion, and most of our visitors have de-
parted. Some one greatly resembling
Harry Papworth, of New Orleans, was
still disporting himself at Coney as
late as August 27. There is a fascina-
tion aboi't this village that ought to
bring the S. A. F. here in 1913.

Monday evening, September 11, the
New York Florists' Club will open the
fall season. The president has some-
thing special on tap. Those who de-
sire will have opportunity for bowling
at Thumm's alleys in the afternoon.
The New York club is now open for
challenges from any of the local flo-
rists' clubs and it has been suggested

Fern Exhibit of F. R. Piersoa Co., Tarrytowa, N. Y., at the Baltimore Conven)ion,

BOCHESTEB.

The Market.

Trade in general is just a little bet-
ter since our spell of cool weather.
There were a few weddings last week,
a luncheon and dinner for President
Taft, the G. 'A. K. convention and a
few funerals, and these all helped to
make business boom just a trifle.

Roses are decidedly better in quality
and length of stem this week. Mary-
lands are by far the best pink rosea
and Tafts are next best. There was
a great demand for Taft roses during
President Taft 's visit to our city.
Killarneys are fair. Wards and Well-
ingtons are fine. There are but few
Carnots.

Gladioli are plentiful and good.
Asters are fair, but there is not a great
variety just now. Pale pink asters are
scarce and poor in quality, but there
is a great demand for this particular
variety for all occasions. Pale and deep
lavender asters are plentiful, but not so
much in demand, with the exception of
the Rochester aster, which is a pinkish
lavender and has ragged petals, making
it a most marketable flower. There is
scarcely any demand for purple asters.
Garden flowers are as much in demand
as ever.

Orchids are at a premium and it was
necessary to draw on the Buffalo and
Philadelphia markets for orchids for
President Taft's luncheon on Wednes-
day, August 23. Valley is coming in
much better, but there is little demand
for it at present. Hardy ferns are poor
in quality and rather scarce. A few
yellow mums are already coming into
the market, but they do not sell readily.

OBITUAEY.

W. r. Helkes.

Major W. F. Heikes, of Huntsville,
Ala., manager and founder of the
Huntsville Wholesale Nurseries, died
suddenly at Cleveland, O., August 25,
1911. Major Heikes had been in Chau-
tauqua N. Y., with his family on a
visit for the last few weeks and from
Chautauqua he went down to Cleve-
land, where he was taken ill.

Mr. Heikes came to Huntsville about
thirty-seven years ago and was known
among its most substantial citizens,
being manager of the Huntsville
Wholesale Nurseries, which are the
pioneer nurseries of that section. Mr.
Heikes came from a family of nursery-
men. Andrew Heikes began the nursery
business at Carlisle, Pa., in 1798; his
son, George Heikes, on moving to Day-
ton, O., established a nursery in 1822.
Jacob Heikes, a son of George Heikes,
established himself in the nursery busi-
ness near Dayton in 1839; and W. F.
Heikes, son of Jacob Heikes, succeeded
him in the business at the same place
in 1866, and in 1882 founded the Hunts-
ville Wholesale Nurseries. The death
of Mr. Heikes in sadly felt by the
trade, as it leaves vacant the office of
president of the Alabama State Horti-
cultural Society, a position to which
Mr. Heikes was reelected at the last
meeting.

G. M. Haecker.

George M. Haecker, manager for
Mrs. Joseph F. Lang, at 2010 Melrose
street, Chicago, 111., was overcome by
heat while working in the greenhouses
on Monday, August 14, and died Sun-
day night, August 20, at his home, 1419
Wrightwood avenue. He was 52 years
of age.

John F. Flood.

When the news was given out of the
death of John F. Flood, of Woburn,
Mass., August 23, a host of friends who
knew and valued him highly were sad-
dened. Mr. Flood had just celebrated
his forty-second birthday two days pre-
viously. He had been in rather poor
health for ten weeks, due to an attack
of the grip, but died quite suddenly at
the last. The deceased was born in
London, England, and worked for
James Veitch & Sons and others be-
fore coming to America some thirteen
years ago. He first found employment
with Peter Henderson & Co., New
York; later with R. & J. Farquhar &
Co., Boston. He was three years with
James Wheeler and later had charge
of a private estate in Buffalo. Beturr-
ing to Boston in the summer of 1907,
he assumed the management of the
business known as J. F. Flood & Co.,
in Dedham, making high grade carna-
tions a specialty. In July, 1910, ho
purchased the David Fisher estate in
Woburn, Mass., where he had worked
up an excellent business.

Mr. Flood joined the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club of Boston in Septem-
ber, 1907, and rarely missed any of
the meetings, field days, picnics or
banquets. He made an efficient chair-
man of the exhibits committee in 1910
and was esteemed by all his associates.
He was a stall holder in the Boston
Cooperative Flower Market and his
market confreres sent a beautiful
standing wreath of Richmond and
Ward roses, with a base of lilies and
cycas leaves, also a large pillow of
Killarney and White Killarney to the |

funeral, which was held August 26.
The Gardeners' and Florists' Club also
sent a floral tribute and there was a
wealth of other floral designs. Many
in the trade were among the mourners.
Peter M. Miller and William Martin
were among the pall bearers. Inter-
ment was in the Stoneham cemetery.

Joseph Bock.
Joseph Bock, of Burlington, la., died
of typhoid fever August 7, at his
home on Sunnyside avenue. He had
not been in the best of health for
some time, but his final illness had
lasted only five or six days. Only a
week before his death he had been
seen in the business section of the
city, as genial and kindly as was his
wont. He was born in Silesia, Ger-
many, April 10, 1846. He made his
home in Burlington in 1867, and went
to work for Neally Bros. & Bock, on
Madison avenue. Later he was in
partnership with his brother, and dur-
ing the last twenty-two years he had
been conducting the greenhouses on

Sunnyside avenue, winning an excel-
lent reputation for himself and his
products. He was married to Miss
Elizabeth Wiemer, a member of an
old Des Moines c»unty family, Novem-
ber 25, 1875. She survives the hus-
band, *with three children, Mrs. John
Fritz and Harry Bock, of Burlington,
and Dr. E. C. Bock, of Fairfield. He
also leaves three brothers, Ernst Bock,
of Burlington; William Bock, who is
farming near West Burlington, and
Oscar Bock, who lives in the father-
land.

Joseph B. Freeman.

Joseph R. Freeman, one of the best
known and most respected florists of
Washington, D. C, died August 22, at
his home, 2319 Wisconsin avenue north-
west, of Bright 's disease and complica-
tions. He was born in England, caime
to America when 14 years of age and
made his home in Washington, whore
he married Miss Mary E. Weaver.
After spending two years in Baltimore
he returned to W.Tchington nnd estab-

lished himself in the florists' business
at Thirteenth and E streets, but re-
moved fifteen years ago to 612 Thir-
teenth street, where he remained until
his death. He furnished the decora-
tions for the banquet to Prince Henry
of Germany, made the two wreaths
which the Prince placed on Washing-
ton's tomb and at various times deco-
rated different public buildings, in-
cluding the White House.

Joseph Schmidt. •
After a lingering illness, due to old
age, death came to Joseph Schmidt, the
oldest florist of Harrisburg, Pa., on the
evening of August 23.

Mr. Schmidt was born at Heideck,
Bavaria, eighty-four years ago, study-
ing gardening for several years. In
1860 he married Miss Franceska Wurm,
of Hilpoltstein, Bavaria, leaving im-
mediately with his bride for America
on a sailing vessel that landed them in
New York after a trip of forty-four
days. Settling in Philadelphia, they
remained there for five years and then
removed to Harrisburg, locating on Al-
lison's Hill, where Mr. Schmidt built
the first greenhouse in that city. In
1867 he erected extensive greenhouses
on Forster street, near Second street,
prospering in business as the city grew.
Mr. Schmidt was superintendent of the
State Agricultural Society for twelve
years. His flower store at 44 North
Third street was well known and on his
retirement ten years ago his son,
Charles L. Schmidt, succeeded him in
the business. Mr. Schmidt is survived
by his wife, a daughter, Mrs. Paulina
Schmidt Young, and two sons, Charles
L. Schmidt, of Harrisburg, and James
S. Schmidt, of Camp Hill.

Bobert Linney.

Robert Linney, formerly in the
florists' business at Akron, Ohio, died
August 18 at his home, 24 North Balch
street, Akron, at the age of 85 years.
He had lived in that city for the last
forty years and during the greater part
of that time was^ in business as a
florist on West Market street. He re-
tired five years ago. He had been in
feeble health since last March and his
death had been expected. He is sur-
vived by one son, A. J. Linney, of
Akron, and one daughter, Mrs. George
A. Newcomb, of Monrovia, Cal.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

READERS ARE INVITED TO CONTRIBUTE ITEMS FOR THIS DEPARTMENT.

Polk, Pa.— The Polk Floral Co. has
been incorporated, with a capital of
$5,000.

Calgary, Can.— Claude E. Jefifery, the
St. Mary's avenue florist, recently re-
turned from a trip to California.

Pawtucket, R. I. — William HofiPman
has gradually replaced his plant with
the latest style of houses, including con-
crete foundations and benches.

Pleasant Hill, Mo. — Two large new
boilers were recently installed at the
greenhouses of the Kellogg Flower &
Plant Co., to replace two smaller ones.

Chatham, Ont.— W. D. A. Ross,
senior member of the firm of W. McK.
Ross' Sons, has gone to Seattle, Wash.,
where he will remain for a while in
the hope of benefiting his health.

Somerville, Mass. — The Davis Square
Florists, formerly at 10 Central build-
ing, have removed to 1 Medina build-
ing, where additional room will enable
them to carry a larger and more varied
stock.

Princeton, 111.— The W. E. Trimble
Greenhouse Co. is adding four green-
houses. One of them, 18x128, will be
used for potted plants. The others,
each 29x80, will be devoted to roses
and carnations. A 100 horse-power
Kewanee boiler is being installed.

Stouflfville, Ont. — The business of
Brillinger & Meader has been pur-
chased by the Stoufifville Floral Co.
The new company is under the man-
agement of Robert Eae and is begin-
ning business with over 10,000 feet of
glass and five acres of nursery lands.

Hot Springs, Ark.— The C. H. John-
son Floral Co. has purchased the green-
houses and other property of J. F.
Howard, on Barrel avenue, formerly
operated by Mr. Johnson under a lease.
The new owners will make many
changes and improvements, with the
intention of enlarging the business.

Austin, Minn. — Mr. and Mrs. A. N.
Kinsman, of the Austin Greenhouses,
have returned from a month's motor
tour through the west. They traveled
over 3,000 miles through Iowa, Kansas,
Nebraska and Colorado, and found fine
roads until they were nearly home,
when a storm occurred and made the
roads rather muddy.

Jacksonville, Fla. — The landscape de-
partment of the business of C. D.
Mills, known as Mills the Florist, has
been purchased by C. L. Bragg and
will hereafter be conducted by him as
a separate enterprise. Mr. Bragg has
been connected with Mills the Florist
for the last two years, as manager of
the landscape department and vice-
president of the company.

Denver, Colo. — James Hamlin has
leased some greenhouses at 2122 Hooker
street and has started business there.

New London, Conn. — S. J. Renter &
Son were forced to vacate their store
owing to rebuilding. They are settled
in a desirable location nearby and have
an attractive building, ably conducted
by Mr. Fisher.

Owosso, Mich. — M. A. Herrick, of
Durand, Mich., has purchased the Sun-
nyside Greenhouses from John Schlei-
der and will continue the business. Mr.
Schleider's plans are somewhat indefi-
nite, but • he will take an eastern trip
soon. Poor health compelled his re-
tirement from business.

Davenport, la. — John T. Temple, a
director of the Florists' Hail Associa-
tion and one of the most widely known
of Iowa florists, recently underwent a
serious surgical operation in St. Luke's
hospital and for a time his condition
was alarming, but he now is convalesc-
ing rapidly and hopes soon to be fully

restored to health.

Lancaster, Pa. — J. P. Siebold recently
received a carload of material from the
Lord & Burnham Co. for the erection
of two more greenhouses, each 26x108.
With this addition he will have four
geranium stock houses. Stock for the
two new houses was potted and plunged
in the field, to await the completion
of the buildings.

Bowerston, 0. — J. G. Gamble, who be-
gan business here in a modest way
about three years ago, has found it
necessary to increase his greenhouse
space each year and still has been un-
able to supply the demand. His third
house, which he is now building, is
20x90 feet. He grows cut flowers,
peonies, vegetables and a general line
of plants.

Maryville, Mo. — Peter Mergen sold
his greenhouses last January to L. M.
Strader, who is now conducting the
establishment with great success, han-
dling both flowers and vegetables. Mr.
Mergen, however, retained possession of
the ground and also of his office build-
ing on North Main street, and recently
opened a cut flower store, to be run in
connection with the greenhouses.

Fergus Falls, Minn. — S. N. Mehlin
has completed the work on his new
greenhouses on Lincoln avenue west,
and has torn down the old greenhouses
adjoining his residence. He has filled
in the lots on which the old green-
houses stood, and will make a little
park there, which will further beautify
that neighborhood. He will erect a
small greenhouse adjoining his resi-
dence, but will depend on his Lincoln
avenue houses for the bulk of his stock.

New Canaan, Conn. — Stephen B.
Hoyt does a snug business at this sum-
mer resort and finds the demand for
choice stock steadily increasing.

Stamford, Conn. — Mrs. Harris, one of
the pioneers in the trade, has been quite
ill. During her illness the business was
well taken care of by Miss Harris.

Ossining, N. Y. — J. Cockburn & Sons
report excellent business. Their carna-
tions did well outside, having the ad-
vantage of a low, moist location. Their
stock everywhere showed the benefit
from recent heavy showers.

Greenwich, Conn. — Alex. Mead & Son
report a satisfactory season. Mr. Mead,
Sr., has been vacationing at the Thou-
sand Islands, and meanwhile Mr. Mead,
Jr., has been getting the place into
shape and will have an excellent lot of
stock.

Mount Kisco, N. T.— H. A. Spavins
has completed a house of concrete and
cypress, of his own construction, and is
complimented on all sides by the pri-
vate gardeners by whom he is sur-
rounded. He is one of the hardest
workers at the local exhibitions.

Port Chester, N. Y. — Paul Burgevin
says the artificial poinsettia has made
no difference to the sale of the natural
flower. His sales run into several
thousands and are increasing annually.
Chrysanthemums are grown in large
numbers here and are in fine shape.

Danville, ni.— H. A. Dubuis, proprie-
tor of the Danville Floral Co., has pur-
chased the greenhouses formerly owned
by John Willius. He has also bought
the stock of the Wadsworth green-
houses and has removed this stock to
the Willius houses at Central park. He
is getting everything into good condi-
tion for a heavy fall business.

New Canaan, Conn. — Robert Bottom-
ley, superintendent of Brush Ridge
Farms, is well remembered as a suc-
cessful grower and exhibitor of speci-
men crotons and other stove plants at
the metropolitan shows. Laying out
big plots of land to crops is quite a
different sort of business, but one can
be just as successful at it and the vo-
cation is far healthier.

Westerly, R. I.— S. J. Renter & Son
report large sales of carnation plants,
of which they have a big stock in first-
class shape. The new roses, Mrs. Aaron
Ward, Lady Hillingdon and Double
Killarney, are attracting attention and
will prove acquisitions. The latest ad-
dition to the establishment is a farm of
several hundred acres and a big herd
of cattle, to supply the soil and ma-
nure necessary on a place of such ]ftrf>n
proportions.

Buffalo. N. Y.

Annual convention, Chicago, HI., August 20 to
23, 1012.

Ifesults bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

"A SIGN is for the man who wants to
find you ; an advertisement is for the
man you want to find. ' ' — Tuthill.

J. A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, sends
The Review a postcard from Kristiania,
Norway, under date of August 11, on
which he notes that it is a grand country
for scenery.

The call is more and more for made
up plants of kentias and arecas; the
made up plants take precedence over
single specimens in the larger sizes for
decorative work.

While the price of immortelles un-
doubtedly will advance by reason of the
shortage, it may not go so high as some
dealers appear to expect, for there
always is a level at which demand is
shut off.

A HANDSOME corsage bouquet consisted
of large, perfect blooms of Gladiolus
America, picked from the stalks and
wired, with adiantum and a pink tie of
the same shade as the flowers. It was
fine enough for anyone.

N. F. Flitton, secretary of the Balti-
more Gardeners' and Florists' Club,
writes to The Review to say that mem-
bers of the S. & F. who have not re-
ceived a copy of the Baltimore souvenir
program can have one mailed to their
address by applying to Philip B. Welsh,
Glenn Morris, Md.

Manufacturers of man-blown window
glass held a meeting last week to plan
more effective competition against ma-
chine-made glass. Attending manufac-
turers say they seek simply to solve con-
ditions that have resulted in a fifty per
cent drop in the price of window glass
and a forty per cent decrease in the
wages of window glass workers in the
past seven months.

George L. Graham, of Bradford, Pa.,
claims for his son, G. Donald Graham,
aged 9 years, the honor of being the
youngest voter in the hotly contested S.
A. F. elections at the Baltimore conven-
tion. Probably the youngest member of
the society still is Charles Albert
Traendly, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who be-
came a life member in January, 1909,
when 3 three years of age. He is the
son of ex-President Frank H. Traendly.

Charles H. Totty advises that a
swindler has been operating in his sec-
tion and it would be well to warn the
trade so that they may be prepared for
him. "He has evidently worked at the
florists ' business, ' ' writes Mr. Totty, ' ' as
he can talk glibly enough regarding the
different varieties of roses and carna-
tions. He has victimized several of the
tradesmen of Madison, N. J., by the use
of small forged checks, claiming a long
acquaintance with mo and other florists.
He is of medium height, with dark hair,
and gains attention by claiming to be
an Elk of a Virginian lodge, so florists
would be well advised to see the card of
any man looking for favors under the
plea that he is an Elk. ' '

The Missouri College of Agriculture,
at Columbia, has just added fifteen new
men to its staff.

The expected shortage of field-grown
carnation plants has not developed.
There are a great many small surpluses
all over the country, as may be noted
from the six columns of classified ad-
vertisements in this and recent issuen
of the Review.

The Chrysanthemum Society of Amer-
ica has issued the annual volume con-
taining the oflicial report of the last
meeting and exhibition, held at Morris-
town, N. J., November 2 to 4, 1910, also
the registrations for the year, list of
members, and the preliminary list of
special premiums for the exhibition to
be held at St. Louis, November 7 to 11,
1911. C. W. Johnson, Morgan Park, 111.,
is secretary.

The Southern Cypress Manufacturers'
Association is using a full page adver-
tisement in the September magazines to
emphasize the fact that ' ' those who
make greenhouses a business build of
cypress" and to exploit a booklet of
* ' valuable guidance for amateur green-
hou.se folks." The advertisement repro-
duces a letter from the John C. Moninger
Co., Chicago, in Avhich they state that
they have used cypress exclusively since
1885.

E. H. Wilson, after a visit to Eng-
land extending over three months, has re-
turned to Boston by the steamship Zee-
land. He returned to America for the
purpose of examining, on behalf of
Harvard University, the specimens col-
lected by him during his last two ex-
plorations in China. The herbaria num-
ber roughly about 50,000 specimens, in-
cluding some 3,000 species. Coniferse,
collected at high elevations on the
Chinese Tibetan frontier, form a consid-
erable part of the eollection.

RETURNS STEADILY GOOD.

Advertising in The Review not only

brings good returns, but they are

steadily good, as witness the following
letters:

July 29, 1911. — We are having great success
with our Silver Pink antirrhinum, and as we are
using only The Review the credit must go to
yon. — G. S. Uamsburg, Somersworth, New Hamp-
shire.

August 21, 1911. — Please have my advertise-
ment read September delivery, instead of August
and September; you are rushing us too hard. —
G. S. Ramsburg, Somersworth, New Hampshire.

August 26, 1911.— Shall have to ask you tc
dNcontinue both my display advertisement and
'he liner in the Classifled department until I can
catch up with the orders. One needs an un-
limited supply to keep the pace with a Review
Adv.— G. S. Ramsburg, Somersworth, New Hamp-
shire.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The middle of last week did not
make good on the promises of the first
of the week; business started with
some increase, but quickly fell awaj*
and the middle of the week brought
probably the dullest days of the sea-
son. Friday showed some improvement
and Saturday was fair. The present
week started with a considerable re-
duction in the receipts of stock, partly
due to the passing of the heaviest cuts
of gladioli and asters and partly duo
to cooler weather conditions, which
served to curtail the rose crops. There
is, however, an abundance of stock for
all demands and there has been little,
if any, improvement in prices; in fact,

HERE YOU CAN GET THE BEST

ASTERS

t ■

The Large Late Finest Varieties In Quantity

We have handled a great many Asters this season, and some very fine Asters, but we have not
heretofore had such splendid stock as that we now offer. And it is coming in at a time when it will be
most appreciated, when the general supply of good Asters is on the wane. You can be sure of getting
the best grade, if you order of us, for some time yet.

BEAUTIES

Plenty of the popular medium leng^ths.

Our present cut of Beauties is largely from young plants and runs
largely to medium stems, the lengths that are in greatest demand. This is
excellent stock, grown by the grower whose summer crop has given such
perfect satisfaction to our customers in other years. Those who are not
ordering their Beauties of us should try this stock without delay.

KILLARNEYS

PINK OR WHITE-LABOE SUPPLY.

We are furnishing buyers all the Killarneys they need, in any length
up to 18 to 24 inches. The color of the pink is something wonderful-
better thftn it is in winter. These roees are business- builders. Once tried,
you will use no others.

Fancy Valley

You will need Valley every day, now that the season is opening again.
We ALWAYS can supply, but wny not place a standing order, for ship-
ment (with the other stock you need) every day, every other day, or twice
a week ?

Lilies

Gladioli

We can supply all the Easter
Lilies jou can use. Try us any
day in the year.

King, America, Augusta, the
three leaders; can ship m thousand
lots; best quality.

HEADQUARTERS FOR ALL GREENS

Here you get the best Fancy Ferns, all the Smilax and Asparagus
strings you want, Sprengeri and Plumosus bunches, Mexican Ivy and
Gidax. No order too large for our facilities and no order too small to
receive our careful attention.

considerable stock still is going to
waste.

There is a diminished supply of
American Beauties, the shorts being
much less plentiful than in the last
fortnight. There are plenty of long
Beauties and the quality of most of
the stock is exceptionally good for this
season of the year. Killarn^y and
White Killarney are, of course, re-
ceived in greater quantity than any
other roses, the quality being first-
class in every respect, with heavy sup-
plies of short stems that are selling
cheaply indeed. There are increased
receipts of Maryland and this rose is
now showing its characteristic excellent
early autumn quality; for the next
few weeks Maryland is likely to hold
a conspicuous place. Mrs. Ward also
is in increased supply and the quality
steadily is improving. The growers
like this rose and so do the buyers.
Prince de Bulgarie is in moderate sup-
ply. The out-of-town buyers think
highly of it. There are moderate sup-
plies of Bichmond, but it is not in spe-
cial request as yet.

Asters are not so overabundant as
they were, but there still is a great
plenty. The later varieties are now
coming in and the quality of much of
the stock is excellent. Gladioli, like
the asters, are getting along in their
season, but there are heavier receipts
than the demand can consume at legiti-
mate prices. The outdoor carnations
are cutting little figure, but the new
stock from under glass is increasing in
quantity and steadily improving in
quality. The season is starting oflF
well.

Easter lilies, which have been one of
the problems, are not now so over-
abundant as they have been and prices
have stiffened a little. Bubrum and
auratum lilies are passing. There is
an abundance of valley. Cattleyas are
scarce. All green goods are plentiful.

Comparing August with the same
month last year, the quantity of stock
sold in this market shows a consider-
able increase, but the money realized
does not exceed the sum received for
the smaller quantity last year; in fact.

many houses say their sales were less
than a year ago. Taking July and Au-
gust together, the results are about
on a par with last year. July this sea-
son was considerably ahead of July
last year, but August in last year was
exceptionally good and those who
equaled it this season have every rea-
son to be satisfied with what they have
done.

Buyers should note that Monday, Sep-

should be in early.

Beginning next Tuesday, September
5, all the wholesale houses will keep
open till 6 p. m. week days, closing

remember that no mail is procurable

HINSDALE, ILL.

The annual picnic given by the em-
ployees and members of the firm of
Bassett & Washburn was held Thurs-
day, August 17, in the woods- east of
the greenhouses. A platform for danc-
ing was erected and Bohlander's or-
chestra of four pieces played from 2
o'clock in the afternoon until 8 o'clock
in the evening. The various events
were contested in good shape. The first
event was the tug-of-war. This was
participated in by four teams of five
men each. A team of which Fred Her-
man was the captain was one winner,
abd a team of which .Tohn Linn was the
captain was the other winner. Boxes

of cigars were the prizes. The shoo
race was hotly contested; at least a
dozen men entered. It resulted in a
tie, the winners being George Schu-
mann and John Johnson. The sausage-
eating contest was participated in by
over thirty. This was won by Larsloo
Johns. A 100-yard race was won by
Alex. Linn and a 75-yard race for men
of 35 years and over had to be run in
heats, there were so many contestants.
It resulted in a tie race, the winners be-
ing Emil O'Berg and David Craigmile.
\''he balancing contest was won by
Nick Den. A one-legged race was
won by Paul Kohout, and a race for
boys 10 and 12 years old was won by
Walter Anderson. The contests for
ladies and little girls were just as
warmly contested, the girls' race be-
ing won by Lillian Kohout. The needlo-
threading contest was won by Miss
Johnson. The bean race was one by

Mrs. O'Berg. The cracker-eating con-
test was won by Mrs. Carlson and the
ball-throwing contest by Miss Carlson,
a second prize being won by Margaret
Lenhough. There were handsome prizes
in each event. After the contests were
over the crowd enjoyed themselves
(lancing and jflaying ball.

The attendance was large. There
were 120 grown-ups and fifty-five chil-
dren. A delicious supper was served
at 6 o'clock, while liquid refreshments
were served all the time. Ice cream,
lemonade and large quantities of gin-
ger ale and pop were enjoyed by the
<'hildren as well as by the grown-ups.
The management of the picnic was in
the hands of a committee appointed by
the men themselves and was very ably
handled.

The Bising Eastern Market.

The market conditions are unsatis-
factory. The tide of supply is rising
without any corresponding improvement
in the demand. Moreover, the quality
of the principal flower, the aster, is so
much better that the same price usual-
ly gives the buyer much greater value
than a fortnight ago. Beally choice
Scrapie's, Vick's and Ostrich Plume
are offered in all the wholesale houses.
Most of them come from New York
state. They bring good prices when good
asters are needed and keep the prices
of poor asters down to a point dis-
couraging to production. Gladioli are
somewhat out of favor just now. Easter
lilies continue in demand where white
flowers can be used; there is nothing
better for effect. Beauties are coming
to the front. A nice crop of fine flow-
ers presumably from two-year-old
plants is being cut. Other roses are
plentiful. There are no cattleyas yet.
Harrisoniae is not sufficiently tempting,
even in face of such scarcity. New
York state is also sending us good
sweet peas. The dahlia is appearing.
Dorothy Peacock is the best fancy so
far. Outdoor flowers have benefited
by the rains.

The Dahlia Season.

There' are indications that the dahlia
season will be on in earnest before
the middle of September. Reports from
Atco, Hammonton and Williamstown
Junction are that the dahlia crop prom-
ises to be unusually fine, providing
they are blessed by a few more fruitful
showers, while there are signs beneath
the surface in the wholesale market
that point to free use of this beautiful
autumn flower during September.

Various Notes.

The Robert Craig Co. has decided to
grow plants exclusively at Norwood.
This means that crotons and dracsenas
have done so well that they will crowd
out carnations, so Norwood, the free
flowering white carnation, will be
placed on the market.

The Market.

Business continues dull. On- some
days not over half a dozen buyers are
seen at the wholesale markets. Many
growers ship direct to the stores and,
with the light demand which exists
during the last half of August, there
is a large oversupply of flowers. Asters
continue to be the leading flowers.
While a good many long-stemmed flow-
ers are seen, the major portion are of
indifferent quality. While some extras
may make $1.50 per hundred, others
sell as low as 20 cents and 25 cents.
Gladioli of fine quality and even
America, Mrs. Francis King and Au-
gusta are hard to move at Tow prices.
Sweet peas are still seen, but the qual-
ity as a rule is inferior.

Carnations are few in numbers as

yet, but more growers each week are
commencing to ship. Stems as yet are
short in all cases. Boses are of good
quality for the last of August. Beau-
ties are fine, while the stems on the
better grades of Killarney, Maryland
and Carnot are extra good. Mrs. Aaron
Ward is again seen of excellent qual-
ity and sells well. Lilies are over-
abundant; so is lily of the valley.
Cattleyas are practically out of the
market just now, and so are gardenias.
Sales of sweet sultan and blue corn-
flowers are fairly good, but there is
an oversupply of gypsophila, candy-
tuft, snapdragon and other outdoor
flowers. Dahlias are being featured
at the stores, but these do not appear
much in the markets. The call for
asparagus and adiantum continues
light.

That will enable you to open the season in a way to attract the attention of people of cultivated taste.
The Electric Flower Lamp with pans for cut flowers or small plants is a pretty and practical orna-
ment. Then there is the Mirror Basket, best described as a half basket with handles, the flat side
intended to go next the mirror. The Forest Leaves are varied and very beautiful, giving you an oppor-
tunity for endless artistic combinations. Thistles, that add a touch of Scottish heaths, in colors that
would blend into a rich tartan plaid. A Parisian wreath of Statice and Ammobiums is oflfered by way
of suggestion. A new pottery — a fitting mate for Imperial Chinaware and Toneware— is Ancient Colo-
nial ware. Vases of classic beauty in fine soft shades of color. We want you to try these novelties.

and dull skies prevented many from
joining the party of fifty who left
Scollay square at 12:30 for a field day
at B. Hammond Tracy's gladiolus farm
at Wenham. The ride of thirty miles
per trolley through Lynn, Salem and
Beverly was greatly enjoyed and when
the party reached Cedar Acres the sun
broke out. A number of prominent
north shore growers swelled the party
to seventy. Mr. Tracy had an ample
supply of autos and carriages to convey
visitors to and from the electric cars.

The Cedar Acres gladiolus industry
is of recent growth. Ill health caused
Mr. Tracy to buy an abandoned farm,
with only half an acre of tillable
ground on it, more as a retirement than
with any idea of growing anything.
He, however, started in gladiolus grow-
ing, which had interested him much
while an amateur, and has in the last
four or five years converted at heavy
expense what were deemed worthless
gravel hillsides into luxuriant fields of
gladioli. There are nineteen acres
planted this season, some 200,000 bulbs
to the acre, and no cleaner, choicer
and better grown collection is prob-
ably to be found in the country. From
a small storage shed with 800, there is
now one with a capacity of over 5,000
bushels of bulbs, and as each year more
ground is planted, which is necessary
owing to the ever increasing demand,
even this will soon need enlarging. Tt
surprised the visitors to note how well
gladioli grew on what was recently
almost pure gravel. Thousands of fine
seedlings were seen, some of which will
soon make Cedar Acres even more
famed.

A generous collation was served in
a tent near Mr. Tracy's picturesque
residence by a noted caterer, which
everyone enjoyed. Then a little
speechmaking was indulged in, short
eulogistic addresses being made by P.
M. Miller, W. N. Craig, Eric Wetter-
low, of the North Shore Horticultural
Society, and James "Wheeler. A hearty
vote of thanks and rousing cheers were
given Mr. and Mrs. Tracy. After the
party had been photographed, the re-
turn journey to Boston was made, all
in the party, which contained a good
sprinkling of ladies, having spent. an
enjoyable afternoon.

was rather quiet, returns were better
than a year ago. Charles E. Bobinson
is at present in charge, but H. M. Bob-
inson and Joseph Margolis will be back
on duty after Labor day.

Henry E. Comley has this week nice
plants of Campanula isophylla alba in
his window on Park street, also
tritomas, passifloras, nymphaeas in va-
riety and some choice gladioli.

J. M. Cohen, at the Boston Coopera-
tive Market, will the coming season
handle the cut of ten growers, two
more than in 1910-11. His business
shows a constant increase.

The stalls at the two wholesale flower
markets look spick and span with a
new coat of paint, ready for the annual
auction of stalls, which takes place
September 2.

The death of John F. Flood, reported
elsewhere in this issue, came as a
shock to his many friends. He had

only been in business a year on his
own account, but had worked up an
excellent trade. We believe Mrs.
Flood will continue the business.

Peirce Bros, are at present heavy
shippers of asters and lilies. They
will commence picking carnations this
week.

S. S. Pennock, of Philadelphia, was
among our visitors last week.

Among English representatives soon
due are F. G. Waterer, of John Waterer
& Sons, Bagshot, England; H. A. Bar-
nard, of Stuart Low & Co., Enfield,
England, and David Smith, of Thomas
Smith & Sons, Stranraer, Scotland.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sandiford, of
Buffajo, were in Boston last week and
were present at the funeral of their
late friend and one-time neighbor,
John F. Flood.

The business of Fottler, Fiske, Baw-
son Co. is now concentrated at 12

Faneuil Hall Square. They have a
grand display of dahlias and gladioli
at their Marblehead trial grounds now,
including many fine novelties. They
will show these largely at the dahlia
show in Horticultural Hall Septembnr
8 to 10, and also September 15 to 17,
when the New England Dahlia Society
will hold its annual show.

We got over two inches of additional
rain August 26 to 28, which is splendid
for late crops, although growers of
asters had many flowers spoiled by the
long spell of dampness.

W. N. Craig.

Pontiac, Dl.— W. J. Miller & Son have
had a heavy summer trade, much bet-
ter than expected, and have had difll-
culty in supplying the demand. They

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

There was a good supply in the cut
flower market all of last week and the
demand showed some improvement.
Funeral work still monopolizes tha
work of the retailers and some of them
were busy all of the week. The whole-
salers say that the demand for light
colored stock was quite large, but the
other stock went begging. There is a
let-up in the great bulk of gladioli and
tuberose stalks, and the few thousand
that come in seem to have a pretty
good demand. There are large con-
signments of roses coming in of extra
good quality, especially in Beauties and
white and pink Cochets, while Rich-
mond, Killarney and Maryland have
good color and fairly long stems. Car-
nations are looking much better. The
cool nights have improved ail the stock
wonderfully in foliage, color and stem.

There was quite a lot of nice cosmos
sent in last week, which is expected to
be plentiful. Long sprays of Clematis
paniculata are being used" extensively
in funeral decorations, with good ef-
fect. Extra good lily of Ihe valley is
in the market at $4 per hundred and
it is worth it. Longiflorum lilies are
coming in fine and sell well at $10 per
hundred blooms. Asfers are still com-
ing in heavily and are being unloaded
at cheap prices. Smilax, asparagus
and ferns are plentiful.

Sunday opening of the year. Accord-
ing to the will of Henry Shaw, the
garden should only be open to the
public the- first Sunday in June and
September. Superintendent Irish has
everything in readiness for the open-
ing.

Friday, September 1, will end the
early closing of the four wholesale
houses, which has been in operation
since June 15.

The Apple Growers' Congress was
held here, at the Planters' hotel, last
week, lasting two days. All the meet-
ings were well attended. J. W. Stan-
ton, of Richview, 111., was elected presi-
dent; Louis Erde, of Cedar Gap, Mo.,
vice-president; J. C. Wilson, of Co-
lumbia, Mo., secretary; Wesley Greene,
of Des Moines, la., treasurer, and L.
A. Goodman, of Kansas City, Mo., sta-
tistician. Richard Dalton, president
of the State Board of Horticulture,
made the opening address.

The working force of the Smith
Wholesale Floral Co. was busy all the
week rearranging the place for the
opening of the fall season.

The Angermueller force is busy re-
painting and making other interior im-
provements.

With a few exceptions, all of our
vacationists of the retail and whole-
sale stores have returned home and are
eager for the opening of the fall sea-
son. Prospects seem good for a busy
season.

Our nurserymen, Messrs. Sanders,
Weber, Rothenheber and Schuette, say
they expect a busy fall trade in fruit
and shade trees and shrubs of all kinds.
They have plenty of orders booked
ahead.

Robert Scott, the Schreve avenue
florist, has just completed a new
house, the second one this year, both
over 100 feet long. Mr. Scott's stock
is handled by C. A. Kuehn.

Robert J. Windier, the well known
local retailer and president elect of
the Florists ' Club, will leave at the end
of the week for Chicago. Mr. Windier
and Miss Amy Zender, daughter of
Adam Zender, will be married there

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

The Market.

The worst drought this sectidu has ex-
perienced in a decade was broken tjiis
week by a splendid rainfalK No rain
had fallen here, with the exception of
three light showers, since the last
week in April, and as a consequence
the majority of crops are a failure.
The shade trees here have dropped most
of their foliage and have ihe appear-
ance of late October instead of Au-
gust.

With the exception of funeral work,
business has been at a standstill and
a lot of stock finds its way to the waste
barrel. Asters, gladioli and all' out-
door stock have been a failure. Koses
and carnations are coming in more
plentifully, but are mostly short-
stemmed as yet.

Ernest, Walter and Louis Hillen-

early recovery for them all.

Stock at the John A Keller estate is
looking well. The firm is cutting an
extra fine lot of carnations for so early
in the season, from a large house of
pot-grown stock. An order has been
placed with the J. C. Moninger Co. for
a palm house, 18x63 feet, with 10-foot

to be added this fall.

and almost any sort of a consignment
causes a glut of the market. Naturally
under such circumstances retailers nib-
ble a little, but are wary about purchas-
ing.

With asters in good supply and of
fair quality offered at $2, perhaps 50
cents is bid. The first result is that
little stock is being proffered. There
is only the most limited demand for it,
at such unremunerative prices that a

Various Notes.

The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. is
cultivating the trade, preparing for
fall business, and taking the warm
weather stagnation with a great deal
of philosophical resignation, as far as
surface indications go. The manage-
ment is looking forward with a great
deal of satisfaction to the prospect of
getting into its new quarters.

There are rumors of a number of
changes in the florists' fraternity, but

Albert Esch is growing some fine
specimens of Boston and Scottii fenjs,
also 75,000 hardy ferns in 3-inch pots.
The Washington Florists' Exchange
will handle the entire lot. It found
the demand for these ferns good last
season for table decorations.

pone his vacation, and, contrary to his
usual custom, he kept his place open

The favorite window decoration this
year is the rock pile and lily pond.
Some of the landscape effects are quite
creditable.

George C. Schaffer has been showing
some tiny aquariums in his window,
with goldfish in them about an inch
long. They ought to lead to a pleasing
and harmless fad.

The Washington Florists' Co. was
busy with funeral work last week, so
much so that the force had to work at
night to fill orders.

Henry Small has carried oflf a nice
plum from right under the eyes of the
Baltimore florists. He got the con-
tract to supply the plants for the
decoration of a new hotel there. Palms
and ferns are being used exclusively.
He has been picking up a large part of
his material here, placing orders with
one firm for $800 worth of plants.

Better weather and generous show-
ers have helped the conduions locally.
The high price of garden truck has
weakened under improved growing con-
ditions and nursery stock of all kinds
has been greatly benefited. D.

Illuitration No. I. — Warehouse for Storage of Seeds as They Q>me from the neld.

Seed Trade News.

AMKBIGAN SIID TBADB ASSOCIATION.

Prea., M. H. Duryea, New York Olty; Sec'r and
Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. O.

The sweet pea crop in England is
falling short; too hot in July.

Harry E. Bennett, formerly a trav-
eler for D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, was
found drowned in the Chicago river
August 24.

The new warehouse of A. C. Croft
Seed Co., Moulton, la., was destroyed
by fire August 18, the loss being nearly
$15,000, only partly covered by insurance.

Reports from the river farms of the
Sacramento valley indicate about half a
crop from the seed fields there. These
include about one thousand acres, nearly
all onion. The loss was due to hot winds
at the time the onion was in flower, at
which time the crop is peculiarly liable
to injury.

The steamer KQcnig Albert arrived at
New York Aueu^,17 with 434 cases of
French bulbs sni^^ itjuk /Genoa and five
cases for Peter Henderson & Co., that
came on board at Gibraltar. The con-
signments via Genoa were eighty-three
!$se,9 f^r Mdltus & Ware and 351 cases
dr 'thQ Int^^iiational For^l-ding Co.
' There has been more or less trouble
with the shipments of French bulbs this
season, but probably the trade should
consider itself, on the whole, fortunate,
for by August 11 thirty-four cases of
cholera had developed at Marseilles,
where the bulbs go aboard boat, and
shipping was much worse demoralized
than at any earlier date.

The customs authorities have followed
Breck vs. United States in deciding a
number of protests over the duty as-
sessed on hyacinth bulbs before the test
case was decided. Among the old pro-
tests recently concluded to the advan-
tage of the importers were those of
Schlegel & Fottler Co., Boston; F. B.
Vandegrift & Co., New York; Jackson &
Perkins Co., Newark, N. Y. ; W. W. Bar-
nard Co., Chicago; John Dunn & Co.,
Philadelphia; Wm. K. Harris, Philadel-
phia; H. H. Berger & Co., New York.

give some idea of the facilities re-
quired for the preparation of the seed
crops for market after they have been
delivered from the field.

Illustration No. 1 shows the ware-
house in which ihe bags of seed are
given temporary storage while await-
ing their turn for the cleaning process.
In one corner are seen the first fruits
of this year's crop.

No. 2 shows the trackage leading
from the warehouse to the seed-clean-
ing house and an end view of the clean-
ing house.

No. 3 gives a partial view of the in-
terior of the cleaning house. At each
side of the end of the track is a hopper
in the floor, in which the contents of
the sacks are placed and from which
they are carried to the upper floor by
conveyors.

No. 4 shows the machine on the
upper floor to which the conveyors de-
liver the seed and which separates the
chaflF from the seed.

The seed then passes by conduits to
the floors below, where the process of
cleaning is completed in the machines
shown in No. 5. Electric power is used
and the motor may be seen in the lower
right-hand corner of the last-named
picture.

The buildings are placed at a dis-
tance of 100 feet from each other, so
that in case of fire in one the rest
could be saved. A hydrant and "fire
hose are handy to each building and a
fire drill has been established for the
employees, so each man will know what
to do in case of an alarm of fire.

Probably few people outside of those
in the seed business realize the amount
of work required to prepare seed for
market after the crop has been har-
vested, and the care necessary to keep
the various sorts free from mixture.
This phase of the seed growing in-
ilustry was exceedingly interesting to
the writer and will no doubt be equally
80 to the readers of The Review,
whether seedsmen or users of seed.

A curious thing has been noted in
regard to sweet pea chaff. When fed
to animals it fattens them, but soon
afterward, it is said, they are unable

HOLLAND SEED CHOPS.

Last winter was extremely mild in
the Holland seed growing districts, so
that all perennials came through in
good shape. A long drought, however,
weakened the growth of many of the
{)lant8. In spring there was a heavy
frost, which, though not so disastrous
as in other parts of Europe, did much
harm to the crops in Holland. Sluis &
Groot, Enkhuizen, in a recent report
say that radish, cress, mustard, turnip
and cauliflower at first seemed to be a
total loss, but gradually the plants re-
covered, and the later weather was fa-

LILIUN HARRISII

(THE BERMUDA EASTER LILY)
LET US SUPPLY YOUR WANTS IN LILIES THIS SEASON

We think we can make it to your advantage to do so» as regards both qtiality and price.

The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for us by a few selected grow-
ers whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In order to insure the health of the product, the bulbs are not
grown on the same field oftener than one season, other crops being growa on the field the preceding year. The ground is thor-
ougfily manured when the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when tfie lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used; this prevents disease and insures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not cUg our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the ground until they are
thorougfily ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is very little, if any, stock obtain-
able as good as the stock that we are offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stock and when this is disposed
of we shall have no more to offer.

Wliile the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices of those who
offer the ordinary stodc gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers will find our stock very satisfactory, and
much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has badly deteriorated in «ecent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have exceptional facilities for
obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer are 6-7 inch bulbi, not 5-7 inch, as usually
offered.

6- 7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case ; full thousand lots, $ 40.00 per 1000

7- 9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, 16.00 per case; full thousand lots, 75.00 per 1000
9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, 18.00 per case; full thousand lots, 175.00 per 1000

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties- good, bushy, well-grown plants that will please the
most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots and are thoroughly well established and nicely finished*

Nephrolepis Bostoniensis and Piersoni, 6-inch pots $0.50 each

Nephrolepis Elegantissima, Piersoni, Bostoniensis and Harrisii, heavy 8-inch plants . $1.00 to 1.50 each

vorable, with nice rains which did
much good to these crops and restored
many of them to a condition not
thought possible earlier in the season.
Generally speaking, the stand of the
crops, though not brilliant, may be
called satisfactory. Cauliflower will give
an average crop. Some turnips have
been badly damaged by worms in the
pods and many of the plantations will
yield not more than one-fourth of an
average crop. The present prospect for
flower seeds is in every respect satis-

some places they are so large as we
have seldom seen them. Formerly the
largest offsets were cultivated fron*
these bulbs, from which the bottom
was cut into three parts, but now, as
the growers develop the growth by
artificial heat, the offsets from the ex-
cavated bulbs are as large as the oth-
ers.

The bulbs which are one, two and
three years old also developed well,
but the first-sized bulbs are generally
not so big as last year. The forcing
quality will be of very high grade, and
if you now cut a bulb in halves you
may see the flower buds much larger
than in other years at the same time.
Also the year 1910 was very favor-
able for the forcing purposes and in
consequence of that a good demand
and high prices may be expected, espe-
cially as the stock of named kinds is
also rather small. Some growers have
already sold all their first-sized bulbs
at better prices than they have got for
a long time.

In the first place, the high prices
are the result of the rather small stock
of first-sized bulbs, but on the other
hand, the new Society of Hyacinth
Growers has much to do with it. The
members of this society have estab-
lished minimum prices for which mixed
hyacinths may be sold. They think,
if the mixed hyacinths are sold at
satisfactory prices, the named kinds
must rise in proportion, and this year
they have seen gratifying results from
their work. — Horticultural Advertiser.

The Market.

Trade is looking up a bit and stock is
corning in more plentifully and in bet-
ter condition. Golden Glow chrysanthe-
mums are now quite abundant and are
excellent in quality. Roses are putting
in more of an appearance. Killarneys
are quite good and some Beauties are
coming on the market. Richmonds, as
yet, are poor. Valley is excellent and
sweet peas are good. Already a num-
l)er of large weddings are being booked
for next month, and, from present in-
dications, the season will be a good
one.

Various Notes.

S. A. McFadden, manager for Tidy &
Sods, King street, left Saturday with
a party of friends for a three weeks'
canoe trip up the Magnetawan river.
Members of the trade will hear some
good fish yarns.

Jack Plumbtree. of Tidy's, returned
Monday from his holidays and brought
back with him twelve bass and one cat-
fiah.

S. A. Frost, College street, has torn
do\»vn part of his counter and moved
his window back several feet. He now
has room for a large display.

J. H. Dunlop reports business as
jjood as usual at this time of year.
Orders for September weddings are
coming in nicely.

The autumnal exhibition of the
Toronto Horticultural Society was held
in Allan Gardens August 2.5. The at-
tendance was much larger this year
than usual. A big tent was pitched,
tastefully decorated with plants from
the conservatory in the gardens, with
festoons of electric lights. An excel-
lent orchestra discoursed music. Over
40O exhibits were registered and the
list of prize winners contained the
names of many who had never won a
prize before. T. D. Dockray, the so-
ciety's representative on the Ontario
Horticultural Association board, won
the special silver medal for August
perennials.

Stem 12-22 In., flower 2%-4 in.

We ship no flowers, only a few rogues
going onto the Cleveland market, taken by
Jores <% Rusuell. They bring $2.50 per 100 on
a 75c. -$1.00 market.

Very good seed blocks of most of the
special asters advertised last spring can be
seen here, but those mentioned above are
showing much the best results.

FLORISTS' REVIEW

When Writing Advertisers

In olden times every man
carried a sword, which was
necessary for purposes of
honor and self-preservation.
When a man wanted to show
another his intentions were
peaceable, he extended his
right hand, signifying he was
at the mercy of the other by
giving up his fighting arm.
If the other reciprocated, he,
too, extended his fighting
arm, and they grasped hands
as a token of mutual trust
and friendship. Now, there
are various kinds of hand-
shakes— some vigorous, de-
noting strength, much of the
mediocre kind, as though it
was more a duty than a vol-
untary salute; but the limit is
the fish hand — have you ever
held one ^ Well, it feels like
you were handling the en-
trails of a chicken — sort of a
slimy-where-are-you feeling,
that leaves with you the
impression that the poor fel-
low was weaned too soon — a
sort of human pancake
batter. Now, good, sound,
solid lily bulbs are like a
good, sound, solid handshake
—not made in a biscuit mold,
but by nature good stuff; but
the other kind are just like
the fish hand. Shake hands
witli Horseshoe Brand Bulbs
—it's worth your while to
try them. Write for prices.

^o,H Cyclamen

For the last t5 years we have selected three-fourths of our
seed bearing Cyclamen stock before Xmas, to assure early
blooming plants, and claim the finest commercial strain in this
country; no fizzle of many so-called English varieties. Our
aim is strong growers, that don't have to be petted to be
grown into a choice salable plant — a well built, five petaled
flower (many of them at one time), with well marked foliage;
every plant an ideal, a prize-winner. Received first and second
prizes at th« Toledo Florists' Club meeting extlpm November,
when blooming Cyclamens were scarce. Seed of this, my own
grown strain, in five separate colors, ;p 1.00 per 100; $6.00 jper

FLOWER BOXES

Successful Florists use Sefton Boxes. To have sudQess in shipping
flowers, YOU should use them.

We offer a complete and superior line of cut flower, folding boxes in
numerous grades and sizes, as well as Corrugated Fibre Board Boxes
for Live Plants and Floral Designs.

Sefton Florists' Boxes combine high quality with low price. We man-
ufacture them in large quantities and thus are able and pleased to
give you the benefit in reasonably low prices.

A box of high quality attracts the eye and makes it a pleasure to open
a neat, tasty package. Sefton Florists' Boxes are trade builders, inas-
much as they are high class and make a good impression. Purchasers
of our boxes were once users of the inferior g^des.

Write for prices on your requirements.

The imports of plants, trees, etc.. for

a large quantity of lathhouse material
lias also been moved to that point.

W. F. Heikes, well known as the man-

AccoRQiXG to the Department of Agri-
•ulture ln?««olland, at the end of 1909
rhere were in Boskoop 583 nurseries, with
a total area of 1,328 acres; whereof 358
nurserymen were independent, while the
others were sometimes employed in the
larger nurseries. The nupiber of persons
"ngaged in these nurseries was about
1,570, among which are about 1,000 la-
borers. The total value of nursery stock
exported amounted to over £112,631.

Fire on the evening of August 26 de-
stroyed the storehouse and packing de-
l)artment of the New Kngland Nurseries
at Bedford, Mass. In addition to the
buildings, a large quantity of choice
trees and shrubs near the buildings were
also ruined. Little water was available
and the flames had practically their own
^vay. Damages were estimated at $10,-
1)00. The burned structures will be re-
built as soon as possible and the fire will
not seriously interfere with fall trade,
which was just starting in.

DEPARTMENT MAKES STATE
MENT.

Possibly as a result of the report
of the legislative committee presented
at the St. Louis convention of the
American Association of Nurserymen,
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has now issued a circular giv-
ing its side of the imbroglio resulting
from the efforts of the department of-
ficials to secure the enactment of the
so-called Simmons bill over the objec-
tions of the nursery trade interests,
The pamphlet of a dozen pages con-
tains a copy of the bill and an' expla-
nation of its provisions, also an ex-
planation of the relation of the depart-
ment to the enforcement of such a law,
in which it is said:

"The fear that is expressed that
some one person will have arbitrary
powers over the entire importing nurs-
ery business is quite unfounded. The
features of the bill which come under
the authority of the Secretary of Agri-
culture will be carried out under the
supervision of the Secretary by desig-
nated officials representing the Bureaus
of Entomology and Plant Industry and
the Forest Service. The department,
by the permit system and notifica-
tionsr received, will become ia fort of
clearing house foi' information for the
benefit of the state inspectors. In
view of the success of the department
in building up everv- form of agricul-
tural industry in this country, and its
constant and earnest efforts in this
direction, there is no ground whatever
for the fear that in this particu-
lar instance the department will be-
come an enemy of the important nurs-
ery business and take any unreason-
able action to its detriment. The sub-
ject of regulation and control will be

sulating the building against both heat
and cold. The structure is a model of
its kind, and the additional room
which it provides has been made
necessary by the company's increas-
ing business.

ERIE.

The Market.

Society folks have not yet returned
from their summer homes along the lake
front. There is a party at the club
houses now and then which calls for the
efforts of the favorite florists, and then
all is quiet again. There have been sev-
eral funerals this week, with the usual
amount of work.

INDIAN APOUS.

The Market.

Business remains quiet and season-
able, and there is no surplus of choice
stock. Eoses are improving somewhat,
as are Beauties. Some good astere are
to be had. Gladioli are plentiful, but
dahlias are a little slow in coming in.

This has been an exceedingly bad
year for geraniums and the outlook
for next year's stock is anything but
bright. Alphonse Bicard suffered the
most, while S. A. Nutt looks much bet-
ter. It seems that the dry, hot weather
in May and June stunted them and
they never recovered.

Various Notes.

John Bargman, formerly in the em-
ploy of several Indianapolis florists,
but now of Chicago, spent several^days
here last week.

Bertermann Bros. Co. initiated a new
delivery auto last week. This one is
a Premier, with the body enameled
white, and is a most attractive car.

William Hack, of Bridgeport, is com-
pleting a new greenhouse.

Hans Kipke, with A. Wiegand &
Sons, leaves this week for a three
months' visit in Germany.

Henry Backmeyer is back at work
after a two weeks' vacation at Bass
lake and Chicago.

A. "Wiegand & Sons have their de-
livery auto back into service after
a month in the paint shop. Homer
Wiegand is back on the job after a
month in northern Michigan.

Sidney Smith, of the Columbia Con-
servatories, has had an exceedingly
busy summer. He has overhauled his
entire plant, painted the greenhouses
inside and out, enlarged the boiler pit
and installed a new heating system.
He says that he is about through now
and ready for business.

Thursday, August 31, there was to
be another florists' picnic, this one to
be giv^n at the Roepke-Rieman plant,
east of the city. There was to be a
ball game and various other sports
and amusements, and it has been tipped
off that this picnic is in charge of the
' 'anti-drys. "

The indications are that the entries
will be well filled at the state fair
next week. Tl|| premium list has been
increased andi:|ad|litfonal space has
been provided. Fred Dorner is to act
as judge, and Herman Junge is to be
superintendent of exhibits.

Ed Larsen, with Baur & Steinkamp,
is back on the job again. Mr. Larsen
has been ill with malarial fever for
the last month. H. L. W.

EVANSVILLE, IND.

The Market.

There has been f ittle change in mar-
ket conditions since last report. Roses
are more plentiful, with not much de-
mand. Carnations are scarce and the
few that are seen are short-stemmed.
Asters will soon be gone.

Building operations here show a
large percentage of gain as compared
with other cities in the United States
and the activity promises well for the
florists. We all expect that the sea-
son which is about to open will be a
good one.

Various Notes.

At the greenhouses of the William
Blackman Floral Co. the summer work
is about done.' The carnations are all
planted and are getting a good start.
Some flowers are being cut. The roses
are all making a fine growth and are
in a good, healthy condition. A house
of My Maryland looks extra well. Mr.
Wallis, the grower, says that the new
rose, Hilda, is a good one and doing
well for him. The mums are growing
well and give promise of some fine
flowers. The firm is still cutting out-
door asters, but these will soon be a
thing of the past.

Ed Blackman 's young daughter is
ill of typhoid fev.er.

Mrs. Wallis, wife of the rose grower,
visited in Chicago last week.

Miss Nellie Goodge's health is not
good and she has been advised by her
physician not to do much work until
she regains her strength, but she is
too ambitious to be entirely idle.

Louis Fritsch says business is some-
what better.

Royston & Fenton's roses are doing
well. The Brides and Bridesmaids are
looking extra good, with a fine crop
coming on.

Ben Kramer says money is hard to
get, collections being poor. That seems
to be the case with most of us.

E. L. F.

Derby, Conn. — H. M. Bradley has an
attractive place. A rustic waiting room
on the car line marks the entrance to

effect, inclui^ng a lily pond located in

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

Business continues dull, funeral work
furnishing about the only redeeming
feature. The supply is unusually
limited, even for this time of the year.
Asters and roses are almost the only
flowers now in the market and the
asters are not of the first quality.
The offerings in the latter part of the
week, however, showed a marked im-
provement.

Various Notes.

Thomas Tullie, of Bay View avenue,
has all his carnations, mums and ferns
benched and they are promising well.

William Appleton is exceedingly
busy with outside work, keeping sev-
eral gangs employed all the time.

John Burke, of the Burke Kose Co.,
was a visitor in Worcester last week.

William ^. Hazard has given up his
store at 111 Mathewson street.

P. J. Hopp & Son, of North Scituate,
are bringing in some of the finest asters
seen in the market this season.

Upward of a hundred handsome,
large designs were seen at the funeral
of Mrs. Charles Beach, president of the
Rhode Island Federation of Women's
Clubs, Augustr 26. The orders Were
well divided.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Ehode
Island was held August 21, with about
a dozen members in attendance. Bou-
tine business, however, was all that
was transacted.

Joshua Vose, of Pontiac, will have
charge of the department of vege-
tables, fruit and flowers at the Ehode
Island state fair, at Hillsgrove, Sep-
tember 4 to 8.

PEOVIDENCE.

[Conclnded from page G*.]

S. E. Astle is showing a large display
of growing dahlias at the Lakewood
Dahlia Gardens, at Lakewood.

H. W. Vose, formerly junior member
and manager of the firm of Vose &
Son, at "Woonsocket, will open a store
at 28 South Main street, Attleboro,
Mass., in about ten days.

The premium list for the Newport
Horticultural Society's September ex-
hibition was approved at the meeting
of the society held last "week. There
are about sixty classes, not counting
the specials, for which prizes are of-
fered by members of the summer
colony and by the wholesale seeds-
men.

The first definite step toward the or-
ganization of a wholesale market was
taken August 25, when a number of
those interested met and elected the
following officers of the temporary as-
sociation: President, John A. Macrae;
vice-president, Walter Macrae; secre-
tary, Elmer E. King; treasurer, Olney
H. Williams. The board of directors
will be elected at a meeting to be held
in a few days. W. H. M.

SUFFOLK, VA.

The Suffolk Floral Gardens Co., Inc.,
was formally organized August 16, in
the rooms of the Board of Trade. The
authorized capital is $25,000. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: H. M.
Butler, president; John F. Pinner, vice-
president; J. M. White, secretary; W.
B. Laurence, treasurer and general
manager. Directors: E. U. Baker, J. M.
Butler, R. L. Brewer, E. S. Yates and
W. G. Elam. A large piece of property
has been secured on Broad street,
north of the Virginian road, and work
will be begun at once in the construc-
tion of greenhouses and the laying out
of the grounds. Seeds will be handled
as well as flowers and plants.

G-reenwich, Conn. — Alexander Mead
and his family are spending two months
at Bethlehem, N. H., in the White
Mountain region. They will return home
about October 15.

BIG ARAUCARIAS FOR DECORATION

instead of palms, are nothing new. The most successful business
houses are using them. Why? They are cheaper than palms and,
secondly, if us^ in connection with other plants, make the most
complete show you ever saw.

We have Araucaria Ezcelsa and Glauca plants in 7-in.
pots, 30, 35, 40 and 60 inches high, at only $1.50, $1.75, |2.00,
§2.60 to fS.OO. Surely you cannot buy palms that cheap.

GERAMIMS

ARE OUR SPECIALTY

E ARE preparing to grow Geraniums
on quite an extensive scale for next
season, and claim to have the largest
stock and most complete collection in the coun-
try, and are making very interesting special
prices for November and December delivery.
^^;;^Vrite us about your probable requirements and

wa will convince jrou that it i< more to your advantage to buy
jutt the kinds you want in the Fall than to bother with saving
a few stock plants and working up stock yourself.

We have ready for shipment about 250,000 plants in 3«
inch pots at $3.00 per 100, $25.00 per 1000, which would
make fine stock for fall and winter sales. x"

The Weekly Florists' Review*

August 31, 1011.

COLUMBUS, O.

The Market.

Trade has been quiet for the last
few days, with stock rather scarce.
^Boses are improving, both in quality
of bloom and length of stem. Some
good Brides and Maids are coming in
now, but the bulk of the stock is Kil-
larney and White Killarney; stock is
excellent of these two varieties. A
few fair Bichmonds are to be seen
now. The call for Beauties is rather
light. Carnations are coming in slow-
ly. There are only a few from new
stock and they are rather short-
stemmed, but the quality is good. Lilies
are more plentiful and are good stock.
Quite a few gladioli are coming in
and are good sellers.

Asters are scarce in this market.
Only a few first-class blooms are com-
ing in, while there are quite a num-
ber of inferior blooms and short-
stemmed flowers. It seems as though
the only people here who have any
good blooms are those having a few in
their back yards; hardly any of the
florists have any to speak of.

This is the week of the state fair,
which no doubt will bring a large num-
ber of visitors to the city.

Various Notes.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is
shipping out a big lot of carnations
from the field.

Mr. and Mrs. James McKellar have
returned from a two weeks' visit at
Chillreothe and Greenfield, O.

Allen Gerling has returned after six
weeks spent with his family in Chi-
cago. J. M.

New London, Conn.— E. W. Clark
opened a store in the spring and finds
it a profitable advertisement. Tom
Clark says business was never better.

Cyclamen Giganteum

Fine, thrifty S-inch stock, $5.00 per 100.
Cinerarias, the largest flowering: grown,
2-in^ extra strong:, $2.00 per 100.

Asparagus Plumosus, 2-in., $2.50 per

Kewentis Primrose, 2-in., $2.00 per 100.

Obconka Gigantea, all sold up to Sept 1.

These plants are well grown and will

Hcacock's Palms and Ferns

Home-g^rown, Btronsf, clean and well establiahed, describes our Palms— no more words are necessary.
' " Our satisfied customers are our best advertieement. " One customer who has been dealing with us for years sent

in an order for $1500.00 worth of Palms without seeing them. Another, whose order last year amounted to $700.00, gave
us an order for $1600.00 this year. Send for our new booklet and-^ive us a trial order.

Lay in your Palms in September, while you can have them shipped by freig^ht. Our facilities for shipping ai-e
of the best. We ship by freight to every state in the Union. We have 40% more glass this year. Most of it is devoted
to Palms. We are particularly strong in the larger sixes (7, 9 and 12-inch).

We grow all our Kentias above 6-inch size in cedar tubs made especially for us, avoiding breakag^e of pots in
shipment and giving^ better results to our customers; and, while they cost us several times what pots would cost,
we sell them for the same money. They are the neatest, lightest and best tub ever introduced. Painted green, with three
electric-welded wire hoops. We order these tubs by the carload.

E. O.

I do not know the Bird 's Eye pepper,
but Christmas peppers* and Jerusalem
cherries, Solanum Capsieastrum, are
much more easily cared for and make a
more satisfactory growth in the field
than when confined in pots. They can
be dug up and potted any time from
August 20 until the middle of Septem-
ber. Firm them well in the pots. Shade
for a few days from bright sunshine,
and spray frequently when hot. They
will soon become established and can
be left out until frost threatens. The
Christmas peppers are much more ten-
der than the Jerusalem cherries and
should have a temperature of 55 to 60
degrees when housed. The latter va-
riety can be held in a coldframe, if
desired, until the end of November.

Greenhouse Heating.

Subscribers are invited to write the
editor of the Heating Department, de-
scribing their troubles or asking any
questions regarding the heating of green-
houses, the piping or boiler-room. But
please do not ask us to make a choice of
apparatus for you. Each article adver-
tised in this department of The Review
is good, and the advertisers sell them on
their merits.

rOUB CALIFORNIA HOUSES.

I have four greenhouses, each 27x200,
with walls five feet high and the ridge
thirteen feet from the floor. What
amount of piping will be necessary for
these houses? S. M.

The question does not give the use to
which the houses are to be put; hence no
really definite advice as to the amount of
radiation can be given. In the climate
of central California, a greenhouse 27x
200 feet, with a wooden wall five feet
high, will require about 800 square feet
of steam radiation, provided a tempera-
ture of 60 degrees will suffice. This
amount of radiation can be provided by
means of one 2%,-inch main overhead, in
the center of the house, and eight 1 14-
inch returns. The returns can be partly
on the walls and partly under the benches.
For four houses of this size, a 4-inch
main would answer.

STEAM FOB LETTUCE HOUSES.

I am building two iron-frame, trussed
houses, each 28x141, here in western
Iowa, and will heat them with gravity
steam. Please inform me as to the
right size and location of the heating
pipes. The height from floor to eaves
will be seven f«et. The houses will be
connected, without partition, and will
thus be equivalent to one house 56x141.
There will be four feet of glass in the
sides. The south end will be glass; the
north end will be boarded and papered.
The foundations will be concrete. The
houses will be used for growing lettuce
all winter. There will be no benches;
the lettuce will be planted on the floor.
There will be a walk all around, close
to the wall, and a walk through the
center. I think a temperature of 40
degrees in zero weather will be warm
enough. M. K. B.

Each of the houses, 28x141 f^t, with
four feet of glass in one wall, can be
heated with steam for growing lettuce
by using two l^^-inch mains and eight
1^-inch returns. The flows can be on
the purlin braces and five of the re-

TWO NARROW HOUSES.

We are building a small greenhouse,
22x50, with a partition through the
center, making two houses, each 11x50.
The houses stand north and south, with
the boiler room at the north end. They
are five feet high at the eaves and
about eight feet high in the center.
Each side will contain two feet of glass
and the south end -will be glass. We
have an eight horse-power steam boil-
er, which can be used for a hot water
heater. The boiler stands about five
feet below the floor of the house. We
should like to ask your advice as to

grees. We are located in northeastern
Ohio. C. F. C.

For heating the two houses, each llx
50 feet, either one 3-inch or two, 2%-
inch mains, as will be most convenient,
can be used for connecting with the
boiler. In each of the houses run one
2'/^-inch flow pipe about one foot be-
low the ridge, at a slight fall, and at
the farther end of the houses use a
2-inch pipe to connect with the coils.
These should contain either eight 2-
inch or ten IV^-inch pipes. If there
are two benches and a middle walk
in each house, place five of the 2-ineh

the description indicates, house No. 7
is of full width at one end only, the
number of returns should be reduced
proportionately at the narrow end. In
house No. 8, 22x48 feet, one 2-inch and
six 114-ineh pipes will be required.

To heat the range described, a sixty
horse-power boiler will be desirable.
Just how the main flow pipe should be
run will depend upon the construction
of the houses. If feasible, run a main
along the ends of the houses, starting
with a 5-inch and reducing to 4-inch,
3-inch and 2 1/^ -inch after taking off
houses 5, 4 and 3, respectively. In each
house carry the main overhead and dis-
tribute the returns under the benches
and on the walls.

ErFECT or CINDERS ON PIPE.

Will you kindly explain what effect
coal cinders will have on iron pipe, gal-
vanized or otherwise, when used in green-
houses for posts, purlins, steam pipes
and other purposes? We are informed
that cinders have been known to "pit"
railroad rails when these have been al-
lowed to remain in cinder piles for a
year or two. We ask this information
through your columns, knowing that in-
formation that is valuable to us will be
valuable to others. M. F. & V. C.

When iron pipe is set in cinders it
seems to undergo a chemical action, even
when galvanized, and this action appears
to be more rapid than when the pipe is
standing in common earth or gravel. It
is always desirable to set greenhouse
posts in grout, but cinders and gravel
«an be mixed in equal parts and used
with cement without fear of serious in-
jury to the posts.

IN WASHINGTON STATE.

We are building four greenhouses,
^jach 15x200 feet. They are connected
houses, of wood and metal construction.
We have a steam plant and will carry
about fifty pounds of steam, and we
wish to know how many 1^-inch returns
will be required for each house in order
to be able to maintain a temperature of
55 degrees in the coldest- weather. Our
winters are not severe, but we occasion-
ally have zero weather for a few days
during the season. We will use a. 2^2-
inch flow or supply pipe in the center
of each house and the returns will be
strung along the pipe supports of each
house. The houses will be well con-
structed and strictly modern. Please
give us the benefit of your experience
and information on this point.

W. W. F. C.

A 2-inch flow would be amply large
for each house, and with four 114-inch
returns would maintain the temperature
mentioned in all except the outside
houses, which would require an addi-
tional return, especially if they have
any glass in the outer walls.

TheWeckly Florists' Review.

-/ Vi^'

August 31, 1011.

LOXnSVILLE, KY.

The Market.

Business for the last month has
been all that could be expected. Fu-
neral work has been the main factor,
and has created a good, steady demand.
Stock has been in fairly good supply.
The quality has been good, considering
the warm weather.

Some good asters have been coming
in and have had the call over roses
and other stock. Boses are in good
supply and the best stock sells fairly
well. Some few dahlias are coming in.
Their stems are a little short, which
kills them as cut flowers, but they fill
in well for funeral work. Carnations
are short-stemmed, owing to the fact
that they are being cut from young
stock, which is in good shape and gives
promise of a big yield for the winter
months. Gladioli have been about
cut out, but a few are still coming in
and sell fairly well. Hardy hydrangeas
are about cut out. A few other sum-
mer flowers are to be had and fill in
nicely.

Various Notes.

Most of the local florists who attend-
ed the convention at Baltimore are back
in town. Although a little "peeved"
at not landing the 1912 convention,
they are aware of the fact that they
gave the "Windy City" a run for the
money, and will be on the job for that
1913 fracas.

Anders Rasmussen, the New Albany
grower, is rebuilding the greenhouse
that was destroyed by a wind storm
August 12. The work is well under
way and will be completed in a few
weeks. K. R.

Waterbury, Conn. — Alexander Dallas
has given an interest in the business to
his younger son, who has had an excel-
lent training for the post, and the name
of the firm is now Alexander Dallas &
Son. The greenhouse plant is being en-
tirely reconstructed. The contract for
removing the houses from the two for-
mer places is being carried out by the
Lord & Burnham Co. There is room
for expansion; the location is of the
best. In addition to several acres of
excellent soil, there is a pond which
will furnish all the ice needed for the
capacious storage cellar.

PITTSBXJEG.

The Market.

Pittsburg people are the greatest in
the world for taking vacations. The
fact that there are few cities in which
the people live more strenuous lives
may have something to do with this.
At any rate, about everyone who has
any money is out of the city, no one
is left to buy flowers and the only
sales that are being made are funeral
orders. However, there is a better day
coming and the growers are get-
ting their stock ready for it. Most of
the growers are getting things into
shape for fall and their stock is look-
ing good — some of it excellent. Some
fine asters and gladioli are coming
into the market — about all that is nec-
essary— and roses are improving right
along, so there is no trouble from this
so^rce.

Various Notes.

Jarve Smith is the happy father of
a new son,

George Learzaf, of Mount Washing-
ton, hit a patrol wagon with his auto,
but outside of throwing the driver off
the wagon, putting him to bed for a
couple of days and smashing the lamps
on his machine, there was no harm
done.

Miss Forbes, of the Misses Forbes &
Donahey, Wheeling, W. Va., has just
returned from an auto trip through
Michigan.

A. W. Smith, Jr., and J. W. Smith
spent last week at their greenhouses at
Canfield, O. J. W. Smith will remain
there for some time, to arrange for the
cleaning up of the fall work.

L. B. West and daughter are visit-
ing Atlantic City and Philadelphia.

Miss Nora Noonan is back from At-
lantic City,

Joseph A. Koenig and Miss Margaret
Noonan were married August 22 and
are spending their honeymoon in the
east. Hoo-Hoo.

Stamford, Conn. — H. E. Le Page is one
of the largest growers at wholesale and
retail in this section, annually forcing
thousands of bulbs that are never put
on the bench. His chrysanthemums are
looking fine. He considers southern
grown single narcissi far supe-
rior to Holland stock, but gives Dutch
Von Sion the preference. The nursery
branch is increasing steadily and satis-
factorily,

'^HANILTON-NADE'^
GREENHOUSE HOSE

What our mark on hose means

"Hamilton-Made" means superior quality in general and onc
thing in particular* The ''one thing in particular" is this:

On every length of "Hamilton-Made" hose you will notice a
mark not found on any other hose — "Guaranteed 750 poxmds
pressure," or 700 or 500, etc., according to the grade. On our
"Hamilton" brand every length has been tested under pressure
of 750 pounds to the square inch. Any piece showing defect is
rejected. 750 pounds is five times the usual pressure in
steam boilers* Think of it ! Do you wonder that this hose
is strong; that it is stiff and will not kink ?

"Hamilton" brand, our highest grade hose, selling at 25 cents
a foot, will last three to five years under ordinary greenhouse use;
it will stand three or four times as much wear as common hose.

As often happens, the liigli grade is the ciieapest*

Under the same brands and of the same excellent qaallties, we make
■*■*'■ Hose for Suction, for Steam Service and for Spraying.

All made eapeclally for the service to be doiM and satisfaetioB gaar.
anteed. ,^ ^^;j^[-w

low to get the best hose that
is made

COME jobbers in Florists' Supplies do not sell
•^ the highest-grade Greenhouse hose. They
argue that everybody wants low-priced hoee.
We know better, for we know that our stiff,
strong, tough "Hamilton" brand hose is really
the cheapest of all, and that many wise buy-
ers will be glad to get it. We therefore make
this offer to all who cannot buy it of a dealer :

If your dealer does not keep it, we wUl
deliver to ron anywhere in the United
■States. PREPAID. 50-foot lengths of
»4-inch "HAMILTON" brand, our high-
est crade Greenhouse hose, complete
with standard brass conpllnrs, for the
recalar price. $12.50 EACH I.ENGTH.

This splendid boie stands a pressure of 750
poonds to the xioare inch, and while it is
our highest-priced Oreenhonse hose, it lasts so
long that it is really the cheapest hose mad*.

If hose of sach extremely higrh resistance Is
not required, we will send =>4 Inch KENMOBE
(guaranteed 650 pounds) at $10.50, or 34-lnoh

The Market.

Trade was rather dull last week.
Asters are coming in freely now; these
are the late varieties and they retail at
35 cents per dozen. Boses are good;
they sell at $1 and $1.50 per dozen, re-
tail. Camatione are not yet plentiful;
they retail at 35 cents per dozen.
Some nice gladioli retail at $1.50 and
$2 per dozen. Sweet peas sell at 50
cents per hundred blogms. Candytuft

Funeral work is good.

At last we have had some good rains,
and as a result everything seems
freshened up. About all the growers

COLUMBUS, 0.

Florists' Outing.

As previously announced in The Ee-
view, the Columbus Florists' Association
gave its first outing August 12, and the
event will no doubt be remembered for a
long time by the ones who participated
in it.

The automobile parade through the
city, previous to going to the picnic
grounds, was the talk of the town. The
mayor of the city honored the associa-
tion by leading the parade and, in ap-
preciation of this, the association pre-
sented to him a beautiful basket of flow-
ers. All the cars in the parade were
decorated with flowers and plants. En
route to the picnic grounds, the parade
went through Schiller park. Mr. Sher-
man, the superintendent, as well as F.
Heil, his able assistant, received many
favorable comments on the fine work
done there. This park wguld be a credit
to any city. It was at Schiller park that
photographs of the entire parade and in-
dividual machines were taken. About
noon the party reached Heimandale
grove, a fine spot for picnics, and it was
not long before everybody was having a
good time.

Frank Heil gave ample proof that he
is an excellent cook and provider. There
were eighty hungry people to be fed, but
he had plenty for all. A brass band,
consisting of twelve instruments, fur-
nished the music. Notable speakers gave
toasts and recitations and a jolly good
time prevailed until dark.

As there were many florists present
from the various parts of the state, the
Columbus Floral Co., whose place ad-
joins the picnic grounds, extended an in-
vitation to the entire party to inspect
their houses, which cover about 70,000
square feet of ground and are devoted
entirely to carnations and mums. Only
words of praise could be heard of what
the party saw there. Frank Miller, the
president of the company, and Paul. Hal-
brooks, the superintendent, should feel
convinced that they are leaders in their
respective lines.

The association is especially indebted
to the chairman of the outing committee,
Joe Hellenthal, who displayed wonderful
ability and everlasting patience; we all
take our hats off to good old Joe.

The association, being still young, is
satisfied with the attendance, though we
should have liked to see the few remain-
ing members of the Florists' Club at-
tend. They were all invited. F. C.V.
