Chiffons Galore

ARE HERE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS

^^ , ... . ^„., . ... . . ^, .^ ,. , ■

Not merely high-priced Chiffons, but the popular-priced kind at prices beyond the reach of eompetitlon.

Many months ago. before the present scarcity of popular-priced Chiffons was apparent to the trade, we made
ample preparations to protect our customers, and we understand that we have today the largest stock of
Florists' Chiffons In America. Every width, every color, every style is here for your selection.

MORE GOODS FOR THE SAME MONEY, *
or THE SAME GOODS FOR LESS MONEY

We merely jjnphnwiTr Chiffons because of the present great demand and scarcity, but at the same
liimi iiiiJi ml mil we are not neglecting our splendid line of standard PIbrists' Bibbons.

At the Chicago Convention of the S. A. P. we received more awards on Chiffons and Ribbons than any other
house. To plagiarize a well-known advertiser— there's a reason.

Our Mall Order Department will execute your orders promptly and Intelligently

We only ship the best blooms and always at the right
price. Rather than quantity, we at all times stand for
quality, and on this basis have built up a trade that is
exclusive. As our supply is limited, we urge no delay
in getting your orders in. Let us hear from you at once
and rest assured that you will receive prompt attention.

FORD AUTOS ARE THE BEST

"My prediction is that every up-to-dat^ rommercia' a'ld Retail Florist will use the Ford delivery cars in their business-
I am proud of Chas. Bretenzel, of Kostyu.'aad all tiie otiiir Loa? Island growers who are u^jing the Ford cars because their
flowers now reach the New York market in perfect condition, spotless and unbruised. It is a great pleasure to me to have
been instrumental in furnishing; so many of these &na machines to leading Long Island florists. Give me the opportunity and
I will have you speeding over the hills of Lon^ Island within the day you place your order with me."

Is the Plower Business Such a Snap

that you can afford to watch good profits wither
away because of poor refrigeration and ambitious
ice bills?

»

You can make your money cover a lot more
ground than it ever had a chance to do before by
holding down heavily on the use of ice and the
spoilage of flowers.

You can do this if you install a

MCCRAY
REFRIGERATOR

The continuous circulation of cold, 'dry air in ■
a McCray is what will turn the trick. Because of
our patent system of arranging cold and warm air
flues no dampness is present and dampness is
what causes decay.

Write for our catalogue No. 73, which de-
scribes our system in detail and shows photo-
graphs of Flower Shops with McCray Refrigerators
in use.

W THE AUTUMN

FLOWER SHOWS

ST. PAUL.

The Minnesota State Florists 'I'Assd- '
elation achieved a first-class success
with its initial flower show. The ex-
hibition was held in the Auditorium,
opening November 8 and continuing to
November 12. A carload of wild smilax
was used in decorating the hall, and
the arrangement of the exhibits, which
was in charge of August Swanson, su-
perintendent, was excellent, so that a
splendid general effect was secured. A
liberal premium list brought a satisfac-
tory number of entries, although pos-
sibly not 80 many as had been antici-
pated. The quality of the stock was
excellent throughout, the people of the
northwest never having had an oppor-
tunity to see finer flowers. The St.
Paul retailers recognized their oppor-
tunity and the showing of retail work
was the most attractive feature of the
show from the point of view of the
general public. One of the notable
points was the lavish use of orchids.
It was practically a commercial show,
the exhibits being nearly all from those
in the trade, but it is doubtful if at
anv other show in the United States
have orchids been used so lavishly.

The committee recognized that in re-
cent years the greatest difficulty in the
management of a flower show has been
in attracting the public, and a number
of novel features were arranged with
gate receipts in view. The formal
opening was made a society function
through the presence of the mayor of
the "city, who made an address intro-
ducing the governor of the state, who
was accompanied by his staff in Uni-
form. The governor, as well as the
mayor, made a felicitous address. On
the opening night one of the new chrys-
anthemums of Elmer D. Smith & Co.,
Adrian, Mich., was named through the
drawing of lots. It was designated as
colonial night and each of the season's
debutantes present was dressed in colo-
nial costume and each drew a chance
for the naming of the chrysanthemum.
Miss Lucile Quinlan drew the lucky
number and the chrysanthemum was
named for her. Of course it made a
fine newspaper story. The mum is of
the Appleton yellow and looks like a
good commercial variety. November 11
the same kind of an affair was employed
in the naming of the new rose of John
Monson, of the Minneapolis Floral Co.
It is a dark pink sort of fine promise
and the naming fell to Miss Elenor
Mernll, who christened it Minnetocka.
Each day had some such special fea-
ture to stimulate public interest and
the attendance.

Boses.

Saturday was designated as rose day
and a fine lot of stock was exhibited,
*u l"^^^*y of all the exhibits being of
the best. Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chi-
cago, was easily the leader in taking
prizes, although Holton & Hunkel Co.,

Milwaukee, beat them out on Killarney
and on the yellow. Holm & Olsiiip ^ook
first on an exceptionally fine ^se of
Sunburst over Poehlmann 's equally fine
Mrs. Ward.

Of the roses not yet in commerce
Mrs. Geo. Shawyer scored eighty-seven
points. This was exhibited by C. H.
Totty, of Madison, N. J. The blooms
arrived in fine shape and held up well.
The color is a pink about the shade of
My Maryland. The bud is extremely
compact and double and it received the
praise of many prominent growers. It
should make a good commercial variety.
A new red rose, Milady, was exhibited
by A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn.
This scored eighty-five points and from
all appearances should prove a good
commercial variety. The color is of the
Bichmond shade, stem and foliage are
fine, and this rose also received much
praise from good authorities. Each
was awarded a certificate of merit. The
awards in the open classes were:

One hundred American Beauties — Poehlmann
Bros. Co., flret; L. L. May & Co., second; Holm
& Olson, third.

One hundred Richmond — Poehlmann Bros. Co.,

Monday, November 11, was carnation

showing, the premiums being well dis-
tributed. The awards in the classes
open to all were:

One hundred white — Nic. Zweifel, North Mil-
waukee, Wis., first, with White Perfection;

orchids. Holm & Olson took first on a
novelty table. A fountain effect,
with water thrown to a height of about
one foot in the center, was electric
lighted, and around this was artistically
arranged a circle of Diana mums out
of which protruded vases of bouvardia.
This proved quite a feature, as it was
the first time a table decoration of this
kind had been attempted. The foun-
tain was connected with a motor that
was attached to a pump so that only
one gallon of water was used and kept
circulating. L. L. May & Co. were
second and Swanson third, with the
others all putting up handsome tables.

Bouquets and Baskets.

Next to the table decorations, bas-
kets of cut flowers and the bouquets for
bridal parties attracted more attention
than anything else on the show. The
principal exhibitors all did first-class
work. The baskets of roses were espe-
cially good. Holm & Olson used Bul-
garie, Melody and Richmond, while L.
L. May & Co. used Killarney and val-
ley. Swanson 's used My Maryland.

BUFFALO.

The beautiful flower show staged and
managed by the Buffalo Florists' Club
was held November 6 to 10. The show
was arranged by the cooperative efforts
of the florists and was designed by
George W, McClure. Mr. McClure also
superintended the work of arrange-
ments, etc. The show itself was the
most beautiful sight ever staged in
Convention hall and the large crowds
which attended were amazed at the
magnitude and grandeur of the sight.
The general plan represented an Italian
garden and the details were carried out
exactly. The first view to the spectator
was the long, low arrangement, with
a fountain playing in the center and
at the extreme end a beautiful painting
of mountains, which gave the stage a
distant look and thereby added much
to the garden effect. Running parallel
with the garden were rows of tall cedars
thirty feet high, placed close together
so as to form a screen for the garden
and the side exhibits. The inner
spaces were beautifully arranged by
the park system. The outer side of the

The Florists' Review

NOTEMBBR 14, 1912.

tall cedars, Charles Sandiford, gardener
for J. J. Albright, filled with the most
beautiful and choice stock in the
show. Mr. Sandiford 's exhibit of
orchids was magnificent. This exhibit
also contained the largest mums, and
these attracted the eager eyes of the
crowd. The side walls were taken care
of by the florists, the largest exhibitors
being Palmer, Anderson and Scott. As
the exhibits were not for competition,
the stock was arranged for effect, and
also for the general effect of the show.
The idea worked out just as planned
and the show was a big success. Palmer
showed many roses, among them being
the smallest rose grown, Mignon. This
was arranged in a glass bowl and caused
much comment. Anderson showed the
new rose. Milady, and like everyone
who Bees it, thinks it a wonder.
The committee in charge were:

Ways and means — W. J. Palmer, Charles T.
Guenther, E. C. Brucker, William B. Scott,
W. J. Peake, ,8. A. Anderson, Louis Neubeck,
Charles Sandiford, William C. Strob, William F.
Kastlng.

Show — Qeorge H. McClure, William Grever,
Fred H. Brown, George D. Hale, Charles H.
KeitBCh.

Press— W. A. Adams, Otto Glllis, Albert
Reichert, Edward Slattery, John F. Cowell.

Tickets — Joseph Strelt, Robert Scott, J. Ben-
son Stafford, Edward Altnian. Albert Keltsch.

Flower booth — Wallace H. Blss, Edward Stroh,
Charles Schoenhut, William Sievers, E. Douglas
Savage.

The club had in connection with the
show a,n ice cream concession and a
flower booth, which proved a good
money maker, especially the last night,
when everybody got a bargain and a
good sum was cleaned up by the scheme.

We learned many things from the
show and, while it was not a success
such as we would have liked, we can-
not help but feel that a good many
more people will want flowers from
time to time. The press and other
forms of advertising spread the news
broadcast and for the week talk of
'flowers was on everybody's lips. These
shows are a lot of work and, after all,
when done for advertising, for we can
say the last two were for that, some
of the members are of the opinion that
the same money spent in the store, and
directly for the store, would bring more
results. On the other hand, some be-
lieve that it would be better to hold the
show on a scale not so elaborate in de-
sign and preparation, feeling that the
crowd will appreciate it to the same
extent. Buffalo has held shows for
competition and shows for exhibition.

but in either case we get plenty of
praise and not enough at the box office.
... R. A. 8.

TAEEYTOWN, N. Y.

It was a magnificent exhibition that
the Tarrytown Horticultural Society
^aged in Music hall November 6 and
which drMf^ large crowds during the
three days t^bat tTie flowers were on
view. The principal exhibitors were
the well known private gardeners of
the locality and the quality of the stock
made up in interest for anything the
show may have lacked ini^size as com-
pared with the exhibition^ in the larg-
est cities. Not only was all the stock
good but the arrangement was excellent
throughout.

Th* siWat^jnedal for new plant was
won by Scott Bros., of Elmsford, N.
Y., for a new nephrolepis.

Richard Langle, of White Plains, was
first for both single and double violets.

Scott Bros, were first for twenty-five
carnations, any variety, with Wm.
Eccles, J. D,. Cockcroft, Northport, L.
I., being second, with Northport.

F. R. Pierson Co. was first for twenty-
five roses of any one variety, with Kil-
larney. Several of the Pierson em-
ployees entered in the fern classes and
divided the ptt^imns.

A. N. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn.,
showed a fine vase of the new red rose,
Milady, and was rewarded with a cer-
tificate of merit.

Chas. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., staged
a handsome exhibit of his new pink
rose, Mrs. George Shawyer, and was
awarded a certificate.

Honorable mention was given F. R.
Pierson Co., for a group of ferns, and
for roses, also to Scott Bros, for a dis-
play of single chrysanthemums.

There was, as usual, a large showing
of fruits and vegetables.

The following were the principal ex-
hibitors of plants, cut flowers and
vegetables, and they secured most of
the prizes:

George Middleton, gardener to Wil-
liam Rockefeller; Allen Jenkins, gar-
dener to S. P. Shotter; Wm. Jamieson,
gardener to Emil Berolzheimer; John
Elliott, gardener to Geo. Legg; Wm. J.
Sealey, gardener to Chas. Mallory; Rob-
ert Grieve, gardener to Hugh Hill; P.
W. Popp, gardener to H. Darlington;
W. H. Waite, superintendent for Sam-
uel Untermyer; Geo. Wittlinger, gar-

dener to Miss Blanche Potter; Wm. C.
Roberts, gardener for Frederick Pot-
ter; R. L. Cushman, gardener to Wm.
B. Thompson; Edw. Kane, gardener to
E. L. Costfer; James Stevens, gardener
to M. C. Herrmann; A. Underwood,
superintendent for W. A. Read; Wm.
Brock, gardener to R. Delafield; Thos.
A. Lee, gardener to M. L. Sand; A. L,
Marshall, Igardener to H. J. Park; John
Canning, gardener to Adolph Lewisohn;
H. M. Blanche, gardener to Wm. R.
Harris; A. Macdonald, gardener to D.
E. Oppenheimer; Chas. L. Fisher, gar-
dener to H. E. Rogers, and the gar-
deners for Joseph Eastman, F. W. Van-
dferbilt^ Mrs. W. H. Pullman and Mrs.
Stuyvesant Fish. George Middleton
won the Pierson silver cup offered for
the exihitor winning the most prizes.

The judges were Alex. MacKenzie,
Glen Cove, N. Y.; A. Bauer, Deal Beach,
N. Y.; A. Briscke, Noroton, Conn.; F.
Heeremans, Lenox, Mass.; Robert Spies,
Dalton, Mass., and J. R. Fotheringham,
of Tarrytown, assisted by several so-
ciety ladies and Edward W. Newbrand,
the ubiquitous secretary.

BOSTON.

November 7 proved rather late for
many of the specimen blooms at the
Boston show, and while some fine flow-
ers were shown, they were fewer in
number than usual. Specimen plants
also seem to be almost a thing of the
past here, as only one exhibitor brought
any of these. They were, however, of
superb quality. What the exhibition
lacked in specimen plants and blooms
was compensated for in the many mis-
cellaneous displays and exhibits of the
retailers. There was in addition an
extensive fruit display, which occupied
the extreme end of the large hall, the
whole of the small exhibition hall and
the basement.

For twenty-five Japanese varieties,
distinct, D. F. Roy, gardener to H. E.
Converse, was first with splendid, well
finished flowers of Wells' Late Pink,
Appleton, H. E. Converse, F. S. Vallis,
Onunda, Ethel Fitzroy, F. T. Quittenton,
President Taft, Lady Hopetoun, Wm.
Turner, Mme. Boissant, Glenview, W. E.
Etherington, W. R. Brock, Cheltoni,
Miss Alice Finch, R. F. Felton, W.
Duckbam, Ongawa, Thanksgiving Queen,
Yellow Miller, Pockett's Surprise, Dr.
Enguehard and W. Woodmason.

Appleton, W. Duckham, W. R. Brock
and Pockett's Surprise. For twelve

dener to Mrs. L. Leland, won with a

judged this class. First went to Mac-
Mulkm, who used Garza and adiantum
entirely. H. R. Comley was second,
with yellow pompons tastefully ar-
ranged. F. H. Houghton was third,
with Bonnaflfon and baby yellow pom-

hard and Yellow Feather, single. For
two beautiful specimens trained as
baskets he received a bronze medal.
These showed true artistic skill. W. W.
Elliott had a nice group of commercial
bush plants, taking first for twelve
specimens, also for twelve single flower-
ing varieties. These were all unsup-
ported. For six plants carrying six
flowers each Mrs. Lester Leland won

ered azaleas. Edward MacMulkin was
second. For the 150-foot group for pri-
vate gardeners Wm. Thatcher, gardener

of the show. This was constantly sur-
rounded by an admiring crowd and
earned a gold niedal, the society's
highest award.

George Melvin secured the S. A. F.
silver medal for American novelties
with Solanum capsicastrum Melvini.

It is seldom that a flower show merits
a second chapter in an alert florists'
weekly, but in this instance the show
improved as it progressed and it devel-
oped several encouraging facts. The
management has always attempted to
bring new attractions on each succeed-
ing day, but has never succeeded so
well before. Perhaps it is in recogni-
tion of this fact, and perhaps it is due
to the efforts for publicity, that the
attendance, larger than usual on elec-
tion day, continued to improve through-
out the show, with the possible excep-
tion of Thursday, when it poured.

souvenir in itself. Charles Henry Fox
decorated a bit of "Old Rome," in a
way that softened without' hiding the
beauty of the classic lines^of the form;
the workmanship, displayed the master
hand. Julius Wolff, Jr., arranged a
showy piece of orchids and lily o.f the
valley, with ferns in pleasing combi-

with a great cluster of well-colored
Killarney, with cibotiuni and white
chrysanthemums in the open fireplace
beneath.

The vegetables were wonderful exam-
ples of what can be done in a favorable
season. An additional feature of the
show was the presence of the high
school girls, and some of the classes
from the public schools were guests of

years The Rhode Island Corn Asso-
ciation joined in the exhibition, so that
the combined showing was interesting
and instructive. One entire side of the
large hall was given over to decorative
ejects, conspicuous among which were
two fireplaces and mantels, decorated
as for a wedding. One was a study
in red and white, while the other was
in yellow, with palms and foliage
plants. One was shown by Eugene
Appleton and the other by T. J. Johns-
ton & Co.

The leading exhibitor in the flower
show was the Rhode Island Hospital,
Cornelius Hartstra, gardener. This in-
cluded nearly 100 varieties of chrysan-
themums, John Macrae had three vases
of chrysanthemums, of twenty-five each,
pink, white and yellow, that proved to
be prize winners. Albert Holscher, F.
Macrae & Sons, John Marshall and E. J.
Johnston were among the other large
exhibitors of chrysanthemums.

Burke & Burns made a, fine showing
of roses, including Richmond, Killar-
ney, White Killarney and Maryland.
Albert Holscher and E. J. Johnston
were the larger exhibitors of violets,
while John A. Macrae and John Mar-
shall showed the finest carnations. Wil-
liam Appleton showed an attractive cor-
ner of ferns, palms, etc., and Edgar L.
Nock exhibited fine orchids and foliage
plants. Fifteen handsome bay trees
were shown by the Home Nursery Co.,
N. D. Pierce, proprietor, and a cibo-

attention.

Wednesday saw the arrival of more
roses and carnations. A feature was
Robert Scott & Son's exhibit of novel-
ties. It included two vases of Irish
Fire Flame, a striking single rose, with
buds of brilliant scarlet shading to cop-
pery salmon, that appealed to the most
refined taste; Mrs. Ford, a Malmaison
shade of i>ink of great substance, said
to be free flowering, and Janet, a pretty
rose that belongs to the Sunburst class.

John Stephenson & Son exhibited a
handsome vase of Radiance, not for
competition. In one of the competitive
classes two of John Cook's seedlings.
Radiance and My Maryland, were pit-
ted against each other in a free-for-all,
the latter winning.

Thursday brought out the retail ex-
hibits, an innovation that gave great
pleasure to all. Pennock Bros, had a
table of debutante gifts, made up and
arranged with exquisite taste. The in-

classes calling for six yellow, Wm.
Vert scoring first with this variety and
also for six Japanese reflexed yellow,
with Lenox. Mr. Vert also scored first

Y., had some excellent specimens,
among them being Annie Laurie and

Beatrice May that was noteworthy be-
cause this variety is not considered usu-
ally as running tall enough to make a
standard. For twelve bush plants as
grown for market, Jas. Bell won first
prize.

varieties of pompons and singles from
Chas. H. Totty. These included a num-

BOOHESTER.

The Rochester flower show, which was
described in last week's issue of The
Eeview and which has just closed, was
made notable by the fact that it can
almost be called a municipal flower
show. The idea that it was being con-
ducted by a commercial association was

tee, is also a newspaper man, and it
was through his efforts that much of
the extensive publicity was made pos-
sible. Besides thte generosity of the
newspapers, the business houses gave
great assistance. This was all done
with the distribution of not more than
1,200 complimentary tickets. The hall
is centrally located, and is a place where

studiously kept in the background.
There was no competition for prizes and
all schemes of the exhibitors to adver-
tise themselves were rigorously ruled
out. They were allowed only to put
their name on their exhibits on incon-
spicuous, uniform cards. They were also
forced to have their exhibits harmonize
with the general scheme of decoration.
A civic atmosphere was given by the
fact that Rochester is widely known as
the Plower City, and this allowed the
Chamber of Commerce to give a great
deal of help.

The method of handling the Rochester
show differed in three important points
from that usually pursued. The first
was the semi-civic character. The sec-
ond was the character and extent of
the advertising, which was made pos-
sible by a show of this character. The
third point was the general scheme of
decoration used.

Everything practicable was done to
give the show as much of a civic atmos-
phere as possible. In the carrying out
of this idea, the newspapers and the
Chamber of Commerce did much. The
newspapers always referred to the show
as the Rochester show, as if it were a
municipal affair. The park board, be-
sides being a large exhibitor, furnished
the park band for the opening day. The
city also furnished the hall, a large
municipal auditorium, centrally located.
It might also be noted here that Mr.
Dunbar, president of the Florists' Asso-
ciation, is assistant superintendent of
parks.

It was this civic character of the
enterprise that the advertising commit-
tee used as a b&sis for its campaign.
Mr. Crockett, chairman of the commit-

the Rochester public is in the habit of
going to see a good class of attrac-
tions, largely municipal. Rochesterians
are also enthusiasts over band concerts,
and for this reason the music committee
secured plenty of first-class music.

The unity of the design was perhaps
the most noticeable feature of the deco-
ration. Though the hall is divided into

two rooms, the colonial garden scheme
was carried throughout. It was much
like passing from a large, less formal
part into a smaller but more formal
part of the same garden. To carry out
this scheme necessitated the limiting of
the individual exhibitors. They were
forced to arrange their exhibit so that
each would be in harmony with its posi-
tion, its neighbor, and the general de-
sign. This really subordinated the
flowers to the decoration. It was a case
of the exhibits giving up much of their
direct advertising value for the sake
of the general effect. It was as won-
derful an exhibition of restraint and co-
operation on the part of the exhibitors,
as it was of interior decoration. Much
of the advertising value of the show
lay in the stimulus that it would give
to the trade in general.

Hung from the ceiling of each room
was a false ceiling made of latticework
trimmed with southern smilax, two car-
loads of which were used in this and
other decorations. This, combined with
the unique lighting scheme, greatly
aided in giving a subdued effect. The
ample lighting was all indirect. The
ceiling lights were reflected upward and
the side lights were all shaded, the aim
of the design being to produce an effect
of restfulriess and quiet charm.

There seems to be a general feeling
on the part of the exhibitors that the
show was well worth while, even if it
should turn out, when the bills are all
in, that there is a small deficit to be
shouldered.

The Tea Room, under the general
direction of Mrs. Wm. L. Keller, presi-
dent of the Ladies' Association, and
Mrs. John Dunbar, chairman of the re-
freshment committee, turned a hand-^
some profit. The meals provided ■ for
exhibitors promoted good fellowship
among the florists.

Mr. Dunbar's splendid collection of
shrubs with ornamental fruits proved
to be one of the strong features of the
show.

The fine exhibit of Hiram W. Sibley,
Stephen Berry, gardener, by error last
week was credited to Geo. Eastman.

looked the creditable displays of the
Eochester Floral Co. and Geo. Keller.
An immense plant of Datura suaveolens
in full bloom was a striking object in
Mr. Keller's exhibit.

Those who were in attendance all the
week turned away with reluctance at
the last moment, and many visitors
were heard to remark, "This show
grows on one." This is assuredly the
sincerest compliment that could be paid
to Messrs. Pitkin and Trautman, the
designers, and to the decoration com-
mittee, under F. J. Keller, who carried
out the details so thoroughly.

While the attendance was large every
•day, the banner day was Friday. There
were 7,000 paid admissions.

FLORISTS' CLXTBS OF AMEBICA.

[Summary of a paper by J. Otto Thilow, of
Philadelphia, read before the Boston Gardeners'
and Florists' Club, November 11, 1912.]

No other profession is so resourceful,

none so varied and interesting, nor has

there been in any other sphere of man's

occupation the possibility of developing

a condition of the people of our land.

Are we not the projectors of the civic

condition in the localities where we

ar^ located? It is in your power to

«hange Sodom into Eden and bring

order out of chaos.

Advancement Through Affiliation.

That there has been advancement
through affiliation there is no doubt,
as we have seen the progress of our
business within the last decade. If
our club and society affiliation does no
more than to broaden our minds, widen
our principle and awaken our interest
one for another, it does much toward
the uplift of our florist brother in the
remote parts of this great land and
«ven abroad. It was said to me by one
of the American visitors to the London
flower show that he was in company
with an English grower going to visit
another grower who lived a short dis-
tance away when he said, "This is my
first visit to my neighbor, and we have
been nearly side by side for many
years." The American grower said,
^*Do you mean to tell me that you are
not more congenial and neighborly than
that! In America we could not afford
to do that. If we do not learn from
our neighbor, it is a blessed thing that
he can learn from us. ' '

In my engagements with civic clubs I
rarely find a florist interested, but many
of the best ladies of our land are active
in the betterment of the surroundings
of all classes by the suggestion of bet-
ter horticultural conditions. Surely
this is a branch that the florist should
be concerned in. These clubs and asso-
ciations would welcome the advice and
cooperation of the florist in the com-
munities where better civic conditions
are being advocated. Let us in some
modest way demonstrate to the public
that our , business, the cultivation of
plants and imt«ks, concerns everybody,
and by ouf earnest intetest in oyr pro-
fession awakfen the latent love for flow-
ers in others. Never, Mhon the season
^ill permit, let us be without a flower
upon the coat lapel.

The Use of Publicity.

Can we measure the good that will
I?8ult from the recent move of the New
* !. ™»sts' Club in its publicity ef-
fort? It IS one of the most stimulat-
ing enterprises entered upon in the last

J. Otto Thilow.

quarter century. The present results
will not warrant the assertion, but the
indications are far beyond a prophecy.

It reminds us that we are not alto-
gether awake to many things in which
we might interest the public. Let every
florists' club in this country be awake
to what might be done in its locality.
Fall in line with the New York club,
and let us be altogether in one move,
universal, the country over. Create the
demand.

As a source of information, I have
written to the secretary of every club
and association in the country, as' far
as I could secure their names. I wanted
information as to what the clubs were
doing in publicity, and also invited
their suggestions as to what might be
conducive to the furtherance of the
florists' business. Eesponses have come
from a small portion of the fifty in-
quiries sent out, but the answers thus
far received are most gratifying. In
several instances the publicity commit-
tee is supplying articles every week for
newspaper publication, something sug-
gestive of abundant bloom at the dif-
ferent seasons. In another case a
florists' club is fostering a school gar-
den contest, under the direction of the
Woman's Club. Another club collected
$300 from florists for Mothers' day ad-
vertising in street car, newspaper and
wagon banners. They report the re-
sults are wonderful.

Making Clubs Interesting.

In conclusion I wish to emphasize that
whatever you debate in the club, you
should consider seriously the matter of

production and prices. First-class stock
will always find a market. We don't
wish to stop there. Moderate prices
will influence the masses and, if pos-
sible, get a flower into the hands of
every man, woman or child. Encour-
age the use of flowers at every func-
tion in the home, the festive hall and
public demonstration, and by all means
let the public know that you are a
florist.

Make your club active. Have an
essay committee that can prepare, with
the assistance of those who are capable,
some paper or talk on topics of inter-
est. This committee is the most im-
portant of the club. The committee on
games should keep the clubroom active
and in a spirited mood. Encourage ex-
hibitions at the meetings. Have occa-
sional outings during the summer, and
don 't leave the girls at home.

What I have learned in my personal
touch with my florist brethren of the
Philadelphia Florists' Club is the one
paramount thought of doing whatever is
best for the advancement of the busi-
ness and broadening the horticultural
realm; to make optimists, to use the
club as a safety valve and engender
personal feelings conducive to good
friendship, and infuse a geniality into
those with whom we associate. This
genial temperament is usually charac-
teristic of the florist. His life should
be resplendent and aglow with cheer,
because his occupation is in touch with
nature 's sweetest product.

tliiid p(dnt was tlie ^^ciieial scheme of

K\(>r,\ thill}; practicable was ilone to
j;i\'e the show as iiiiudi of a ci\ ic atmos-
phere as possible. In the carrvin;; out
(d' this idea, tlie newspapers ami the
'haniiier (d (■ommerce did much. Tlie
newsjiapers always referred to the slutw
as the Ko(hester show, as if it were a
municipal alfair. The |iark board, be-
sides beiny ;i larL;e exhibitor, furnished
the park band for the opening day. Tlie
city also furnishe<| the hall, a lar^c
municipal auditorium, centrally located.
It miyht also be noted here that .Mr.
Dunbar, ju'esident of the l-lorists' .\sso
ciation, is assistant su|ierintenr|eiit of
jiarks.

It was this civic character of the
enterprise that the advertising conimif-
tee used as a basis for its caiu]iai}rn.
Mr. Crockett, chairman of the coinmit-

the K'ocli(>ster public is in the habit of
jioinji' to see a j^ooil <-l:iss of attrac-
tions, larj^ely Tiiunicipal. b'ot hesterians
are ;tlso enthusiasts over band concerts,
and for this reason the music committee
secured jdenty of first -cdass music.

'J'he unity of the desi^iii was p(>rha|is
the most noticeable feature of tlu> deco-
ration. Thouijii the hall is divi<led into

two rooms, the colonial fjarden scheme
was carried tlirouKliout. It was much
like imssiu};- from a lar^e, less formal
].art into a smaller but more formal
part of the same jiarden. To carry out
this scheme necessitated the liuiitinj; of
the individual exhibitors. They were
forced to arrange their exhibit so that
each would be in harmony with its posi-
tion, its neighbor, and the jj;eneral de-
sij;n. This really subordinated the
flowers to the decoration. It was a case
of the exhibits },nvinfi up much of their
direct advertisin}; value for the sake
of the "leneral effect. It was as won-
di-rful an exhibition of restraint and co-
operation on th(> jiart of the exhibitors,
as it was of interior decoration. Much
of the advertising value of the show
lay in the stimulus that it would give
to the trade in general.

Hung from the ceiling of each room
was a false ceiling made of latti»-ework
trimmed with southern smilax, two car-
loads of vvhiidi were used in this ami
other decorations. This, combined with
the unique lighting scheme, gr(>atlv
aided in giving a subdue<l effect. The
ample lighting was all imlirect. The
ceiling lights were reflected upward and
the side lights were all shaded, the aim
(if the design bidng to produce an (dfect
(d' restfuluess and ipiiet charm.

There seems to be a general feeling
on the part of the exhibitors that the
show was wtdl worth while, even if it
should turn out, when the bills are all
ill, that theie is a small dtdicit to be
sluuildered.

The Tea IJoom, under the general
direct i(oi of .Mrs. Win. L. Ktdler, jiresi-
deiit of the Lailies' Association, iind
Mrs. .lohn Dunbar, chairman of the re
freshment committee, turned a haml-^
some profit. The meals provided for
exhiliitors promoteil good ftdlowshiji
among the florists.

.Mr. Dunbar's sjdendid collection of
shrul s with ornamental fruits proved
to be one cd' the strong features of the

That tluM-e has been advancement

as we lni\e seen the progress of our

our (dub and so(dety afliliation does no
more than to bioaden our minds, widen
our princijde and awaken our interest
one for another, it does much toward
tlie uplift of our florist brother in the
remote ].arts of this yreat land and
even abroad. Tt was said to me by one
of the American visitors to the London
fl()wer show that he was in company
with an Knylish yrower fi;oing to visit
another grower who lived a short dis-
tance away when he said, "This is niv
first visit to mv neighbor, and we have
beeii iiearlv side by side for many
years." Th(> .\nierican grower said,
"Do you nu'an to t(dl nu> that vou art"
not more conyenial and neiyhborlv than
that.' In America we could not afford
to do that. If we do not learn from
our neifihbor, it is a blessed thinj: that
he can learn from us. ' '

of the best bolies of our land are active

; SHIP THEM DRY.

Will you kindly give us your opinion
as to the advisability of sprinkling car-
nations ifor shipment? We have always
sprinkled roses, mums and almost every-
thing but sweet peas and carnations, but
recently have been told by a person
long in the business that we should
sprinkle everything. Any information
would be appreciated. , W. T. M.

The carnations should be shipped dry.
Give them h good drink before packing,
so that the stems and blooms will be
firm and full of moisture; then pack
carefully and ship dry. For other than
short runs the box should be iced, but
only over the stems, with the ice so
cleated in as to keep it away from the
blooms; it is to keep the temperature
down rather than to supply moisture.
When the flowers are unpacked they
should at once go into water in a cool
room to refill the stems and freshen up
the blooms. Carnations keep best in a
cool, dry atmosphere.

LOOSENTNG THE SOIL.

I should like to find out whether it is
advisable to scratch the earth or loosen
the surface of the soil around carna-
tion plants in the greenhouse. They
have been planted for two months. The
•plants are doing finely, but the soil has
a hard surface. Would the loosening
of the soil injure the small roots that
come to the top A. N.

After the young rootlets of your car-
nations come close to the surface of the
soil, it is not advisable to scratch
the soil deeply enough to injure
them. A better plan is to put on a
light mulch of well-rotted manure. We
do not mulch much in the fall any
more these days, and advocate it only
in an extremely moderate way.

A. F. J. B.

OAENATION RUST.

1 am enclosing a few carnation leaves.
Will you please tell me what disease it
is that shows on them? A few weeks
ago there were no signs of it; now it is
spreading all over the house. V. V. P.

Your carnations are affected by the
common carnation rust. The raised
places on the leaves are the pustules
which contain the spores by which this
disease is propagated. You will notice
the brown powdery substance which is
released when these raised places break
open. This disease, like most plant dis-
eases, is caused by unfavorable condi-
tions— atmospheric conditions in this
case. I do not know just how you
have handled your plants, but the pres-
ence of this disease would indicate that
your cultural methods have not been
correct.

I would suggest that you dust the
plants thoroughly with dry slaked lime

or Grape Dust. Dispense with all
syringing for a time, unless you see
signs of red spider. Give all the venti-
lation you can and run some fire heat
at night right along now. Open the
vents, if necessary, to keep the tem-
perature down to the right point.

This is about all you can do, except
to go over the plants and pick off the
diseased leaves. I would not advise
you to do this, however, unless the case
is an aggravated one. A. F. J. B.

CHOOsma a fertilizer.

Are nitrate of soda and cow manure
water good fertilizers for carnation
plants? Which of the two is the better?
What proportion of soda do you use?

You will find cow manure, either liq-
uid or as a mulch, a much safer material
to use in feeding your carnations than
nitrate of soda. We do not use either
one. The former we are unable to get
in any quantity, and the latter we do
not care for. We do use a good deal of
sheep manure for feeding, and find it
effective as a plant food.

If you use nitrate of soda, dilute one
pound in fifty gallons of water and
apply as often as your judgment tells
you the plants need it. A soft, flabby
appearance of the growth and bloom
will warn you that too much is being
given. A. F. J. B.

Rambler Roses.

If a sufficient number of rambler
rose plants for pot culture have not yet
been dug, do not postpone the work
any longer. The wood is now hard and
well matured. Any of the pink ram-
blers with soft ends on their growths
can have the latter cut back to the
hard wood. Do not allow the roots to
dry. Pot or tub firmly and tie up the
shoots securely. Let the plants stand
in an open, sunny spot outdoors and
do not house them until there have been
one or two moderate frosts.

Hardy Roses.

There is no better season than the
first half of November for planting
hybrid perpetual roses outdoors over a
large section of the country. People
have become so imbued with the idea
that all planting must be done in the
spring, when a thousand other duties
are pressing, that they have to a large
extent failed to avail themselves of the
opportunity to carry out fall planting,
not only of hybrid perpetual and ram-
bler roses, but also many diciduous
trees and shrubs and fruit trees. With
a few exceptions all these succeed well,
provided they are moved some time be-
fore the ground freezes and the roots
are well soaked by fall rains before
that time. Any plants which are moved
must have the roots well moistened be-
fore the ground is sealed up, or they
will die or suffer severely, unless, per-
chance, winter thaws permit rains to
percolate through the soil.

Hardy roses — and I do not include
the hybrid teas or teas in this class,
except in the more southerly states —
should be planted deeply. Three to
four inches below the bud or graft is
about right, and they can hardly be too
well firmed. Shorten the canes if long.
Compare the results from a bed of such
varieties as Jacqueminot, Frau Karl
Druschki, Mrs. John Laing, Mme. G,
Luizet, John Hopper, Captain Hayward
and Mrs. Sharman-Crawford, or such

ramblers as Dorothy Perkins, Lady Gay,
Tausendschon, Crimson Rambler and
Hiawatha, planted now, and a similar
number set out in spring, and you will
find a wonderful difference in favor of
the fall-planted ones.

Antirrhinums.

It is really astonishing what a won-
derful advance has been made during
the last two or three years in the cul-
ture of antirrhinums under glass. In-
quiries for plants and for directions
about growing them now come to The
Review from all parts of the country.
They have jumped into prominence as
a market flower, and as flowers are to
be had from October to June under
glass and the balance of the year from
outdoors, the market is really never
without thein.

Many of the chrysanthemums are now
gone, and few crops pay better than
snapdragons as a succession crop, pro-
vided always that the selling colors are
grown and a generous soil is provided
for them. Add to the old mum soil a
good dose of cow or sheep manure, with
some fine bone. Mix it well and then
plant the snapdragons a foot apart each
way. If you want big, strong spikes,
allow only three to five shoots to a.
plant.. If smaller ones are preferred,
double or treble the number may be
allowed to grow. Stake them before
the shoots can become bent. Wire and
cane stakes are often used, but I like
to support them with wires and cross
strings as in the case of carnations,
leaving the squares rather larger than
for carnations, A winter temperature
of 48 to 50 degrees will grow fine snap-
dragons. Finer spikes may be had at
45 degrees, but this low temperature
brings them on rather slowlv in mid-
winter.

THE ART OF FLOWER
i^ ARRANGEMENT i^

By FRED C. V. BROWN

PBOGBESS IN ABT.

Aa Shown by Three Designs.

The preceding article of this series,
published in The Review of October 31,
dealt particularly with the economy of
art and the necessity of using reason
in everything attempted. We tried to
show that the wreath alone, no matter
how you may do your arranging of the
blooms, is not sufficient in its interest,
unless you embody some principle, some
theory, or display some striking indi-
viduality. We tried to tell you that
it is far better to use a single material
to act as a main attraction and let it
rest at that, than to use half a dozen
varieties and place
them with only a
view to "using up
stuff."

Merely Pretty.

The wreath shown
on this page is a fair
example of what is
generally termed a
' ' mixed,-flower de-
sign." In this
wreath we have used
plain, ordinary ma-
terial; namely, an 18-
inch frame, fifty car-
nations, six roses,
four stalks of candi-
dum lilies with four
flowers on each, one
spray of asparagus
and fifty g a 1 a x
leaves. Let us
analyze our design
and see the result of
our efforts.

We find a wreath
of flowers; our de-
sign is pretty; that
is all. There is no
lasting impression, no
special interest, no
display of individu-
ality or originality;
there is nothing to
hold the attention
now that it has been
attracted by the
main body of the
form; it is simply
pretty. But our ma-
terial is pretty, and it
18 only the beauty of
this that calls forth a remark. No story,
no character, no theory is displayed.

Common, but Inartistic.

This form of mixed-flower design is
worthy of the hands of the most crude
beginner and would be a poor makeshift
trom the hands of one calling himself
a professional florist. It is a form of
arrangement met with everywhere,
every day, but it is a glaring example
of our thoughtlessness and stands as a
monument to our inability. The only

Mr. Brown will be pleaaed to answer, «■ this
•eriei of articles progresses, any criticisms or
questions that may occur to his readers. The
first article of the series was printed in the issue
of October 10. The next installment will appear
in an early issue.

redeeming feature is, it is "pretty,"
and that only in material. Wreaths of
this type never differ one from another,
and while many think it an economical
form, it is by actual test the most ex-
travagant form possible to use. It is
without reason, character, ingenuity or
skill, and therefore is inartistic.

The second of the three illustrations
shows the same wreath and the same
flowers as in the mixed-flower design.

only we have grouped our separate ma-
terials and, as a result, we find that we
have had to waste material in order to
use it all. We could greatly improve
this design by reducing the size of our
lily spray and making the main attrac-
tion, the wreath of carnations, more
pronounced. Then we would have our
roses and lilies for our opposition and
high light, and to use in the display of
our skill as florists and our power to
charm.

The third illustration again shows the

same design and the same flowers, only
we have used what is generally con-
sidered a much more extravagant form
of design, the solid arrangement with
the cluster, and we surely find some-
thing that is understandable, some-
thing that carries a story and interest,
something that you do not have to "be
educated to appreciate."

A Beally Artistic Wreath.

This third design embodies artistic
principles; it may not charm you, but
that is only the fault of the maker.
This form can be talked about; it has
more or l^ss character, but the design
shown in the first of the three pictures
can only call forth
the remark, "A
wreath of flowers."
No doubt many
who have read this
and the previous ar-
ticles have decided
by this time that the
writer has a biased
faith in forms of the
solid flowers. Such
an inference, how-
ever, is far from fact,
for we have only
used this style be-
cause of its splendid
adaptability to illus-
tration.

Free Scope.

The manner of ar-
ranging the flowers
used in these three il-
lustrations is limited
only by your own
power of creation.
But, no matter how
you twist or turn the
flowers, or how you
place your high light,
or what you use for
the main body of the
form, unless you use
reason and let your
efforts speak for
themselves and in
their silent speaking
be understood, you
are not artistic; you
are extravagant, and
you are placing your-
self and your pro-
fession on a level
with the street faker or the corner
grocer, who has a few bargain blooms
to sell when the spring glut is on.

Ck) Back and Bead.

We wish, at this point, that: we could
get our readers to turn back to the
first articles of this series and read
them through again. We believe that
the theory of the arrangement of flow-
ers that we have been trying to bring
out in these articles will by now have
begun to impress itself upon the appre-

but the ideas which are to be brought

FUBE AIB NEEDED.

Can you give us any information as
to the possible effects on cut flowers
and plants in general from odors aris-
ing from embalming fluids! We are
next door to an undertaking establish-
ment, the wall between being of double
matched boards, papered. We can not
keep cut flowers or blooming plants
more than over night, or one day, when
the same stock will keep at our green-
houses or the residence as long as can
be expected. We use electricity for
lights, having cut out the gas lights,
as we thought they might be the cause,
but it has made no difference, L,

Plants and cut flowers require pure
air, just as humans- do. The fact that
your stock keeps well at other places
would indicate that there is something
wrong at the store. Doubtless it is
the business next door that is causing
the trouble. Anything that would im-
pregnate the air to the point where the
odor would be apparent would be in-
jurious. One florist, after long experi-
ment, recently proved to his own satis-
faction that the laundry next door was
the cause of the stock in his store keep-
ing poorly; the odor of soapsuds was
present. If the odor of embalming fluid
is apparent in your store, it will not
be likely to add to your patronage by
the better class of flower buyers, no
matter what else it may do.

FLOWERS Am) FTTNERALS.

Every now "and then some florist
thinks that the trade is to be sent to the
bow-wows by a sporadic agitation
against the use of flowers at funerals.
But no real harm is done. How the
great mass of the people look upon flow-
ers at funerals is well illustrated by the
following incident: A Kansas City
editor found some theretofore unheard
of minister quoted in the paper as fol-
lows:

My desire is to banish all flowers from funerals.
What is the use of blossoms on a coffin? Chris-
tianity ought to educate this custom out of the
Ideas and ideals of Americans. Take the roses
and put them, not on a coffin, but in the lapel of
the coat of the laboring man on his way to work.
Send the lilies into the workshop, into the sweat-
shop, there to brighten lives.

The editor wrote in answer in his
paper: "It will probably be a very long
time before the world adopts the sug-
gestion of the New York minister who
seeks to bar all flowers from funerals
and distribute them instead among the
living. Flowers are more than mere
floral offerings. They are symbols of
the most beautiful of all the human
emotions — that which pays its last trib-
ute of affection in the offering of blos-
soms and fragrance. The suggestion
that instead of heaping the floral gifts
upon the bier, where the mortal remains
of the departed lie for a few hours in
unrealizing state, they should be divided

among the living, to whom they will
bring happiness, is worthy in purpose,
but the same result could be accom-
plished without robbing the solemn
funeral ceremony of one of its most im-
pressive features.

"Probably the most sorrowful spec-
tacle that could be conceived would be
a funeral without a single flower. There
are many such, but they are among
life's sad tragedies. The flower stands
for remembrance and affection; it is a
pledge of fidelity and love, or at least of
respect and esteem. The absence of all
such tokens means today that one has
died with none to mourn his loss and
with none to promise to remember. There
is, it may be admitted, much of the arti-
ficial and unmeant on many occasions,
when lavish floral offerings do not
necessarily measure the degree of sor-
row felt by those who pay the tributes.
There is also at times a deplorable waste
of money in ostentatious display. But
these are exceptional features of a cus-
tom that goes back to the earliest be-
ginnings, back to the time when flowers
and blossoms were typical and sym-
bolical of the future life, A portion of
the tribute paid to the departed might
well be spared for the laudable purpose
suggested by the New York minister.
The living need the flowers with which
the dead may well dispense, but the
funeral offering is not for the dead
alone. The custom is too sweet and
sacred to be abolished, yet it might well
be varied by a sharing of the tribute
with the unfortunate living, to whom
the division will bring cheer. ' '

The florists of the present generation
need not worry over the prospective loss
of funeral work. Quite the contrary:
The use of flowers at funerals is on the
increase, and the increase will continue.

THE OSEDIT ASSO<HATION.

It has been reported in The Review
that the Chicago wholesale florists
have organized a new credit associa-
tion. The following statement is by
Mr. Webb, the manager:

"Feeling the need of cooperation
along lines that will provide for con-
centrated action on all matters pertain-
ing to the general welfare of the trade,
to protect it against unjust and unlaw-
ful exactions, to correct abuses, to ami-
cably adjust differences in the trade,
and for the additional purpose of en-
abling its members to extend credit
only to those who are shown worthy
of it, the wholesale cut flower dealers
of Chicago have formed an association
which will be known «s the National
Wholesale Florists' Association. The
association will have among its mem-
bers not only the dealers of Chicago
but those of other cities, and has or-
ganized along lines broad enough to
include all those engaged in selling
seeds, bulbs, plants and florists' sup-
plies.

"This step should have been taken
long ago by these people. We are told
that there is no industry that does not
have its social and credit organizations
within the trade, and this move should

promote a better understanding and en-
able the wholesale people to become
better acquainted, and put them in
closer touch with those who buy their
product. :. . : . i;

"Losses sustained throughout the
trade, through the extension of credit
to unworthy customers, something that
the various members acting individ-
ually have not been able to avoid, will,
under proper management, be elimi-
nated. The members feel that in the
elimination of the non-paying customer
a benefit will not only result to the
seller, but that it will also result in a
material benefit to those who do , pay
their bills and endeavor to conduct
their business honestly, and this will
establish a fixed line of credit and a
pay-day.

"It is not the purpose of the whole-
sale cut flower dealers, or anyone who
will become a member of this associa-
tion, to take any step that will be det-
rimental to the interest of anyone to
whom they sell, but, on the contrary,
it is the purpose of the organization to
foster the industries represented by
their business and help those who try
to help themselves, and who conduct
their business along honest and straight-
forward lineis. Every wholesale dealer
is making a study of how he can best
assist the retail deajer, and one of the
things that can be done with profit and
benefit to all is to weed out the irre-
sponsible, unreliable, non-paying class
of dealers who buy the product of those
belonging to this association. The irre-
sponsible fellow reduces the profits of
the legitimate dealer and causes loss
to the wholesaler, and this naturally
has a tendency to shake the confidence
of the wholesale dealer in the man who
is trying to do an honest business.
Every precaution has been taken to
zealously guard the interest of the re-
tail dealer who is conducting his busi-
ness along honest and legitimate lines,
and those who have completed this or-
ganization have taken into considera-
tion every angle of the business in
which their patrons are engaged, and

I it would seem, certain that this move

I on the part of those organizing this
association will be of material benefit

; to all of those who belong to it, and
to those engaged in the retail trade,

- and will have a tendency to promote
better business methods, increase profits
and extend a legitimate line of credit
to those who are entitled to it."

It is understood that the members of
the association are this week notifying
their customers by letter of the or-
ganization and aims of the association.

DETEOIT VISITS MT. CLEMENS.

Just as sure as that the sun sets in
the west does the annual jaunt of the
f Detroit Florists ' Club to Mount Clemens
take place, while the mums are in
bloom. Leaving the city at 9 a. m.,
the first stop usually is at J. F. Sulli-
van's, but November 7, through an
error in the crew's orders,' the party
was obliged to go through to Mount
Clemens without a stop. The first visit,
therefore, was at the establishment of
Leopold Mallest. Mr. Mallest special-
izes m carnations and a house of White
Perfection was pronounced the finest
ever seen by most of the party. Sydney
Tinkler, who now owns the former
Stephens place, also has some fine carna-
tions. He is cutting some excellent
cosmos, the plants being between the

carnations. Bobert Klagge and Mrs.
Klagge received us with their usual
hospitality. Mr. Klagge 's plant is in
the pink of condition. His roses were a
sight to behold. Cosmos, stevia, violets
and snapdragon are also helping to fill
his purse, the latter being especially
fine. One of the interesting features
at this establishment is the immense
bulb-shed, where hundreds of thousands
of bulbs are kept over winter. A house
of 25,000 valley also proved quite an
attraction.

It was now nearly noon and Fred
Breitmeyer was on hand with his usual
feast to satisfy the inner man. After
a hearty lunch, made all the more en-
joyable by the antics of Kobert Klagge
and George Hampton, of Michell's, who
seem born comedians, the party in-
spected the Breitmeyer plant and many
were the favorable comments heard. The
chrysanthemum houses proved especially
interesting. Many fine varieties of pom-
pons and singles were seen. A bench
of Helen Newberry caused many excla-
mations, being one mass of snowy white
blooms.

At John Carey's it was time to eat
again. Mr. Carey is a noted rose grower
and his plants upheld this reputation.
Some excellent mums were also seen
here. Mr. Carey, after much persuasion,
joined the party and went the rounds
with us.

A. Van Beversluys' place was next
seen and here a pleasant surprise
awaited the party. After two years

of hard work he has converted it into
an ideal establishment. All his stock
is looking fine. At James Taylor's es-
tablishment a fine bench of Diana
greeted us as we entered. His car-
nations and mums are also in good
shape. The last stop in Mount Clemens
was made at August Von Boeselager's
finely appointed place. The stock is
in excellent condition. Mr. Von Boese-
lager grows more variety than the other
Mount Clemens growers, his stock in-
cluding various potted plants as well
as orchids. The immense potting shed
was appropriately decorated with corn
stalks and vegetables and the lunch was
par excellence.

Leaving Mount Clemens at about 5
p. m., the party stopped at Sullivan's
on the return trip, but it being daTk
we could not view the stock and after
smoking some of our friend's cigars we
were again homeward bound, a tired
but wiser lot of florists. The party con-

The Florists^ Review

November 14, 1912.

AN OUTING AT EIOHMOND, IND.

November 4, some thirty-seven per-
sons, mostly members of the State Flo-
rists' Association of Indiana, met at
Richmond to spend the day in inspect-
ing the various greenhouse establish-
ments located in that beautiful little
Quaker city that has become famous
for the many good things which have
come from there in floricultural lines.
The party from Indianapolis, of which
the writer was one, alighted at the little
station at Easthaven, just across from
the establishment of the E. G. Hill Co.
There we were met by others from vari-
ous points who ha<l come to spend the
day with us.

Being the first place at hand, the day
was begun with the inspection of the
Hill place. Since our outing of a year
ago a great change has come over this
place. Up to that time the stock grown
comprised a long list of miscellaneous
plants, practically everything the small
retail grower needed in his business in
the way of bedding plants, etc. Now
these have all been dropped, even in-
cluding geraniums, in which an enor-
mous business was formerly done. All
this because the firm saw greater profit
in growing a smaller variety of plants
and larger quantities of these. This
firm now confines its operations to the
growing of roses, carnations and chrys-
anthemums for both cut flowers and
plants. Chrysanthemums being in full
crop, naturally the mum houses. received
attention first. A finer lot of commer-
cial stock it would be hard to imagine.
There is a noticeable absence of the
great, monstrous exhibition 'blooms,
most of the stock being in medium
grades, a large percentage of the plants
carrying two blooms. This -is on ac-
count of the dearth of flower shows
through the middle west this fall, and
also because this firm has entered the
retail end of the business. There were
large blocks, or whole benches, in many
instances, of such varieties as Major
Bonnaffon, Mrs. Razer, Virginia Poehl-

larney are to be seen, all in splendid
condition; also Mrs. Aaron Ward, Lady
Hillingdon and the great Sunburst, in
yellow. American Beauty, Richmond,
Radiance, etc., are all there in large
quantity. One of the most attractive
things on the place is a 250-foot bench
of the new rose, Mrs. George Shawyer,
apparently an ideal forcing rose, with
one of the most pleasing shades of
pink imaginable. This rose will surely
find a warm welcome in the retail stores
when introduced. Among Mr. Hill's
seedlings are many promising young-
sters, but to try to pick out the best
ones would be as hazardous as trying
to pick the winner in the late political
campaign. Mr. Hill is still looking for
the red rose with twice as many petals
as Richmond, and with the same free-
dom of growth and bloom as that cele-
brated variety of his origination.

Carnations occupy perhaps even more
space than the roses. Bench after
bench of plants cut back for propa-
gating give promise of great quanti-
ties of strong, healthy cuttings during
the approaching season. The list of
varieties has been cut down to the lead-
ing standard sorts, with the addition
of the most promising introductions of
the season. Across the road is what the
firm is most proud of in the whole estab-
lishment. A new range of four houses
with a new heating plant was added
last summer. The houses are of the
semi-iron pattern, and they certainly
are beauties. The heating plant is up-
to-date and simple in construction, and
after looking the, plant-ov«r-«fte could
hardly .fi/id anything which could have
been^ iinproyed .uppn. , This range is
given over entirely to carnations for
blooms. St. Nicholas, with its fine ap-
pearance, made the writer's heart glad.
Benora and Rosette also looked fine
and will likely lead in their respective
colors. Wodenethe has not rounded into
form yet, but when it does come there
will be some great blooms. Several

mann, Timothy Eaton, Yellow Eaton,
W. H. Chadwick, Golden Chadwick,
Alice Byron, etc. There were also sev-
eral long benches of singles and pom-
pons, too numerous in variety to men-
tion.

In the same range of houses are to
be found the roses. Bench after bench
of the several types and colors of Kil-

dore, show that their confidence in this
variety as a commercial variety has not
been shaken. The color is grand and
the cut of bloom will be heavy at the
time red carnations are wanted.

Our next stop was at the establish-
ment of the Chas. Knopf Floral Co.
Only early varieties of mums are grown
here and all had been cut before our

visit. Carnations are in full crop in all
the standard sorts. Two beds of Pmk
Delight are being run the second year
and promise a good cut during the sea-
son. A house of Killarneys is m espe-
cially good shape. The summer roses,
of which there are several houses, are
being dried down preparatory to the
winter's rest. Mrs. Knopf, who has
been running the business since her
husband's death, received the visitors
and turned them over to her foreman,
Mr. Coryell, who escorted the party
through the place.

Geo. R. Gause was our next host.
Everything in the way of retail stock
is grown here and Mr. Gause and his
assistants have the place in spick-and-
span shape. A thriving retail business
is done, the place being right across
from the entrance to the principal cem-
etery, as well as being close to the city
trade.

Next came Fred H. Lemon's estab-
lishment, which is the old Hill place.
Here, too, a full line of retail stock is
grown. The finest house of roBes in
Richmond was seen here. Carnations
are good, too. One of the most pleas-
ing things seen was a bench of Rex be-
gonias.

Right across from Lemon's is located
Edward Ruch. Mr. Ruch, being a
Richmond boy, has proved that a boy
does not need to leave his home town to
be successful, as we so often hear said.
Mr. Ruch has for several years been es-
pecially successful with single violets.
All his stock is retailed in Richmond.

Visits also were paid to the Advance
Co., where J. E. Jones did the honors,
and to the Quaker City Machine Co.,
where John Evans gave the glad hand,
as usual.

At noon a luncheon was spread at the
Arlington hotel. About forty enjoyed
the feast. After that a meeting was
held at the Commercial Club. Osa Cor-
yell, D. W. Leathermann and Morris
Maher were elected to active member-
ship and P. J. Foley, of Chicago, was
elected to honorary membership.

The following were present from In-
dianapolis: Henry Meyer, Chas. Bohne,
C. Sonnenschmidt, Robt. Ellis, Albert
Kempe, Albin Schreiber, O. E. Stein-
kamp, A. F. J. Baur, Albert Pittet, John
Hartje, Harry Rieman, Frank Rieman
and Fred Rieman.

Richmond was represented by the fol-
lowing: Louis Knopf, John Evans,
Clem Gaar, E. G. Hill, Joe Hill, J. E.
Jones, Fred Lemon, Earl Mann, Geo. R.
Gause, Osa Coryell, Edward Ruch and
J. E. Jones, Jr.

THE RETAILING

OF CUT FLOWERS

rIE merchandising of cut flowers is
in itself closely allied in general
principles with the selling in small
quantities of any other article. The
man who is capable of selling real
estate or greenhouses is equally capable
of selling roses. It is not the man who
sells flowers sluggishly at a profit of
fifteen per cent, but the one who can
brilliantly present to the public quan-
tities of flowers at a gross profit of 150
per cent by closely watching the mar-
kets, who is a live factor in the up-
building of the retail business at the
present time.

The intensive form of conducting the
retail business is much like intensive
farming. A greater quantity of busi-
ness may be transacted in a given
space and time, but it takes much more
energy and expense to do it. Unpopu-
lar as the practices may be with the
greater number of retailers, the meth-
ods of some of the pushers as exploited
by the trade papers at different times,
showing the terrific manner of induc-
ing trade, is certainly a good object
lesson in showing how large quantities
of flowers may be distributed among
the transient trade, with much accru-
ing good to the producer.

Methods of Publicity.

Indirectly, the Florists' Telegraph
Delivery, still in its infancy, is making
great strides in educating the flower-
buying public. When we think that a
first-class florist in a town of, say
500,000, approximately, does an out-
bound and inbound business of $7,000
annually, it is wonderful to think of
1,000 florists doing a business of $7,-
000,000 annually. A conservative esti-
mate of the orders received by New
York florists in the season is from
$750,000 to $1,000,000 per year. This
important phase of the retail business
should certainly be given impetus by
grower and retailer alike.

The inspiration of the retail busi-
ness, new varieties of flowers, should
receive its just attention in all quar-
ters. A new flower invariably brings a
slightly higher price, and more than
repays the slightly increased cost in
the friends it makes and the popular-
ity it secures. Mrs. Aaron Ward, Lady
Hilhngdon and Melody have had
tremendous influence upon the flower-
''"jing public. Such roses as Milady
and Mme. Chas. Russell, the new French
hydrangeas and the Mrs. F. Sander
daisy, as well as several other novel-
ties, may be counted upon in making
thousands of friends for those inter-
ested in buying nature's wares in the
near future.

Co-operative Advertising.
Publicity, with its versatile and
great accomplishments, seems to be
the slogan, "first, last and all the
time, with florists who are disposing
or the greatest quantities of flowers.
Ihose unwilling to take up this great
selling cudgel are liable at any time to

A paper prepared by Irwin Bertermann, of

be surpassed by those who are willing
to dispose of good goods at moderate
prices and inform the public in an
attractive manner of just what they
have to sell. The good work now be-
ing done by the New York Florists'
Club in the distribution of posters, dis-
played simultaneously, clearly shows
what collective effort may do in pub-
licity work. They plan for a great
Thanksgiving campaign, and the out-
come in awaited with interest.

Advertising is a separate department
in all the big stores of the country, but
it is a sadly neglected art with many
of the retailers, who are wont to treat
it as a side issue and place it in the
hands of the inexperienced. There is a

vast difference between the maintainer
of price and shrewd merchandiser, and
the trade spoiler who is harmful to
himself and his fellowmen, both in sell-
ing and advertising.

Two Kinds of Communities.

"As ye sow, so shall ye reap," is
nowhere better exemplified than in the
comparison between a community of
cheap florists and one worthy of pros-
perity and in which each is himself
successful. It is just as possible to
have each family in a town possess ten
plants and an educated love for them,
as to have each fifth family possess
only one plant and a shy acquaintance
with nature's wares, due to lack of in-
terest on the part of the seller himself.

The sale of potted plants, particu-
larly in the larger flower centers, is a
new channel, which offers a great field
for those willing to take a forward
step and rise above the rose and car-
nation farms so popular and so indica-
tive of the day. The wonderful
features of the National Boston Flower
I Show in the potted plant line will no

doubt be duplicated and surpassed in
the coming New York exhibition, and
may be a proper incentive for the
westerners in the art of plant produc-
tion. It is highly essential that the
prosperous retailer interest the public
in the growing plant as well as in the
short-lived cut flower. It is almost
impossible to present the wondrous and
changing beauty of the flower possi-
bilities to the public without the ele-
gant displays of rose plants, rhododen-
drons, azaleas, bougainvilleas, acacias,
and particularly hydrangeas, cyclamens
and the like.

Qood and Bad Salesmanship.

A higher 'standard of salesmanship is
an essential that must be reckoned
with in all the retail stores. The great
strides made by dealers in accessories,
such as baskets, ribbons and supplies,
which outshine in many instances in
a wholesale way those of the retailers
themselves, are an instance of what
first-class salesmanship — and to that it
must be largely attributed — may do.
A clerk who is not able to sell quanti-
ties of goods at a fair price, is no
more destructive than one who is
shrewd enough to obtain more from a
purchaser than he is really willing to
spend. A first-class clerk, who has
good judgment, gaining the confidence
of the patron and his employer, and
who is able to arrange blossoms in a
fine, individual style, is a scarce ar-
ticle. There is and always will be
room at the top for those climbing
that way.

Artistic taste is a leading factor in
the disposition of flowers. To offer
them for sale in unsightly masses at a
low price is not sufficient. It is far bet-
ter to sell a few flowers, well arranged,
than to sell many of them in such a
way as to decrease, rather than in-
crease, the general love of flowers.
Elegant window displays, taste in store
and house decorations, promptness, fair-
ness in dealing, progressiveness, con-
stant energy and alertness, are the
older virtues with which the striving
store man is ever face to face in his
race to outclass his competitor and to
dispose of his wares, and these virtues
are striven after equally hard by his
brother grower.

The Path of Progress.

The increase in the general use of
flowers is far greater than the increase
in population. This may be attributed
to two factors — one of them the fact
that the masses live farther removed
from nature's beauty than formerly
and hence have a greater general crav-
ing for it. The other factor, and the
stronger one, is the educational cam-
paign of the retailers in securing pub-
licity and constantly exploiting the
flower business. Will it not be well,
then, to follow the trail which has been
leading forward for many years?

Our age has not been blessed with

miracles, and it has been and always
■will be impossible for the flower stores
to dispose of undue masses of flowers
brought forward by climatic conditions.
It is possible, however, for the retailer
to watch the trend of the markets, so
as to aid to the fullest extent in the
disposition of the largest possible quan-
tities of stock at the most favorable
time.

It is unreasonable- to expect that the
erection of greenhouses may proceed
at the same enormous rate as in the
last few years. It will be far better
for the grower to produce more beauti-
ful and varied varieties, and for the
retailer to perform his mission of in-
stilling the love of flowers in American
hearts, so that the flowers will be found
in the homes of all, in uninterrupted
beauty, fragrance and refinement.

HBEPES' STORE AND AUTO.

The accompanying illustration shows
the store of Heepe's Sons, Akron, O.
The store is at 26 South Main street,
and the members of the firm are E. A.
Heepe and Henry Heepe. "Flowers by
Telegraph" is the neatly framed card
in the window.

Heepe's Sons believe that an auto-
mobile for delivery is an absolute neces-
sity in the florists' business, where
there are frequent telephone calls that
require immediate delivery at a consid-
erable distance. This they find can be
done with the automobile much more
quickly than by any other method.
Finding themselves unable to buy just
such a car as was wanted, Heepe's Sons
purchased a Buick chassis and had a
body built in accordance with their
own design and to correspond with the
style of their wagons. The body was
made heavy enough to overcome all the
jars and vibrations which are so unde-
sirable when it comes to delivering
funeral work and blooming plants. The
body is black with the lettering in gold,
making one of the showiest cars on
Akron's streets.

NEW YOBK.

The Market.

Business with the retailers begins to
show encouraging improvement and a
more cheerful atmosphere prevails. But
the wholesale market is still dominated
by the chrysanthemum and an immense
accumulation of all kinds and sizes
was seen as last week closed. Cellars
and ice-boxes were crowded. Cold stor-
age was utilized for many blooms and
evidently there will be no shortage for
Thanksgiving. There is much splendid
stock arriving daily, and of potted
mums there is no end. The asking price
Saturday night was $5 to $8 per hun-
dred for blooms that readily sold at $3
per dozen a couple of years ago. Amer-
ican Beauties are firm at 25 cents to 30
cents each for the selected. The sup-
ply is not overabundant. All roses
have firmed up somewhat during the
last few days and promise better values
after the mums are over. This is the
rpse age, as one wholesaler termed it,
and the new ones are especially awaken-
ing public interest. Milady, Mrs. Shaw-
yer, Mme. Russell, Sunburst, Radiance,
Irish Fire Flame, Lady Stanley, and
more to follow, all are selling well. The
older varieties of roses are now at their
best and prices are generally on the up
grade.

Violets improved in price and qual-
ity toward the end of last week, and
sacrifices ceased. One expert predicts
the specials will reach the dollar mark
for Thanksgiving. Both valley and
gardenias advanced a little for the top
grades. Carnations are now superb and
abundant, but prices are disappoint-
ingly low for the growers, only the new
varieties going above $2 per hundred.
There seems to be no cessation in the
orchid flow. The market was simply
crowded with them all last week. Stock
sent out to sell at $40 per hundred
came back to the wholesalers untaken.
The retail window dressers are making
good use of the surplus. The oncidiums
are especially effective in this line.

Club Meeting.

Chrysanthemum and ladies' night
combined drew an attendance of over
200, nearly half of whom were of the
gentler sex, at the club meeting Novem-
ber 11. It was the most enthusiastic
meeting of the year. The exhibits were
a fine assortment of chrysanthemums
from Traendly & Schenck; Matchless
carnation, from the Cottage Gardens;
Wm. Eccles, from Scott Bros.; roses
from J. J. Brozart, and Jerusalem cher-
ries of the new variety from Arthur T.
Boddington,

Chaifman Hendrickson reported en-
couraging response as to the value of
the Hallowe'en publicity effort of his
publicity committee and displayed the
colored placard to be used for Thanks-
giving. Funds are solicited, especially
from the retail fiorists, who are most
directly benefited.

The nominating committee announced
its selections of candidates for office|K
for 1913, as follows: f

For president — Messrs. Bunyara,

extended them by Frank H. Traendly,
his firm also presenting every lady with
one of its prize chrysanthemums. The
house committee served the club mem-
bers with an elaborate turkey lunch,
with many varieties of liquid nourish-
ment.

Various Notes.

The flower shows in this vicinity have
been unusually successful this season.

BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS.

Oil City, Pa.— It is reported that the
stock of Fred C. Greene 's range, at the
corner of Innis and Seventh streets,
has been sold at sheriff's auction, and
that thd greenhouses were to be va-
cated by November 11.

TEOUBLE WITH PLUMOSXJS.

I am sending you some sprays of
Asparagus plumosus and ask you to
note the condition of the ends. The
dried places extend all through the
bench. I have just taken charge of
this establishment and do not know
anything about the way the crop has
been handled, but at present the soil,
water and everything else seem tp be
all right. I think they have been run
a little too dry at some time, but I
should like to have your opinion.

E. S. C.

Lack of water seems to have been the
cause of this trouble, which has proba-
bly been aggravated by insufficient ven-
tilation during the warm weather.
There do not appear to be any insects
on the asparagus, such as red spiders
or thrips, and with proper care as to
water, heat and fertilizers there should
be no further difficulty. W. H. T.

miracles, and it has been and always
will be impossible for the flower stores
to dispose of undue masses of flowers
brought forward by climatic conditions.
It is possible, however, for the retailer
to watch the trend of the markets, so
as to aid to the fullest extent in the
disposition of the largest possible quan-
tities of stock at the most favorable
time.

It is unreasonable to expect that the
erection of greenhouses may proceed
at the same enormous rate as in the
last few years. It will be far better
for the grower to produce more beauti-
ful and varied varieties, and for the
retailer to perform his mission of in-
stilling the love of flowers in American
hearts, so that the flowers will be found
in the homes of all, in uninterrupted
beauty, fragrance and refinement.

HEEPES' STORE AND AUTO.

The accompanying illustration shows
the store of Heepe's Sons, Akron, 0.
The store is at 26 South Main street,
and the members of the firm are E. A.
Heepe and Henry Heepe. ' ' Flowers by
Telegraph" is the neatly framed card
in the window.

Heepe's Sons believe that an auto-
mobile for delivery is an absolute neces-
sity in the florists' business, where
there are frequent telephone calls that
require immediate delivery at a consid-
erable distance. This they find can be
done with the automobile much more
quickly than by any other method.
Finding themselves unable to buy just
such a car as was wanted, Heepe's Sons
purchased a Buick chassis and had a
body built in accordance with their
own design and to correspond with the
style of their wagons. The body was
made heavy enough to overcome all the
jars and vibrations which are so unde-
sirable when it comes to delivering
funeral work and blooming plants. The
body is black with the lettering in gold,
making one of the showiest cars on
Akron's streets.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Business with the retailers begins to
show encouraging improvement and a
more cheerful atmosphere prevails. But
the wholesale market is still dominated
by the chrysanthemum and an immense
accumulation of all kinds and sizes
was seen as last week closed. Cellars
and ice-boxes were crowded. Cold stor
age was utilized for many blooms and
evidently there will be no shortage for
Thanksgiving. There is much splendid
stock arriving daily, and of potted
mums there is no end. The asking i)rice
Saturdav night was $5 to *S per hun-
Ired for blooms that readily sold at $;?
]>eKiJ<(zen a coujile of years ago. Amer
lean Beauties are firm at 25 cents to 'M)
cents each for the selected. The sup-
]>ly is not overabundant. All roses
have firmed up somewhat during the
last few days and i)romise better values
afler the niums are over. This is the
rose age, as one wholesaler termed it,
and the new ones are esi)ecially awaken-
ing i)ublic interest. Milady, Mrs. 8haw-
ver Mme. Kussell, Sunburst, Hatliance,
Irish Fire Flame, T^ady Stanley, and
more to follow, all are selling well. The
older varieties of roses are now at their
best and prices are generally on the up
grade.

Violets improved in price and qual-
ity toward the end of last week, and
sacrifices ceased. One expert predicts
the si)ecial8 will reach the dollar mark
for Thanksgiving. Both valley and
gardenias advanced a little for the top
grades. Carnations are now superb and
alaundant, but prices are disappoint-
ingly low for the growers, only the new
varieties going above $2 per hundred.
There seems to be no cessation in the
orchid flow. The market was simply
crowded with them all last week. Stock
sent out to sell at $40 per hundred
came back to the wholesalers untaken.
The retail window dressers are making
good use of the surplus. The oncidiums
are especially effective in this line.

Club Meeting.

Chrysanthemum and ladies' night
combined drew an attendance of over
200, nearly half of whom were of the
gentler sex, at the club meeting Novem-
ber 11. It was the most enthusiastic
meeting of the year. The exhibits were
a fine assortment of chrysanthemums
from Traendly & Schenck; Matchless
carnation, from the Cottage Gardens;
Wm. Eccles, from Scott Bros.; roses
from J. J. Brozart, and JLerusalem cher-
ries of the new variety from Arthur T.
Boddington.

Chairman Hendrickson reported en-
couraging response as to the value of
the Hallowe'en publicity effort of his
publicity committee and displayed the
colored placard to be used for Thanks-
giving. Funds are solicited, especially
from the retail florists, who are most
directly benefited.

The nominating committee announced
its selections of candidates for officeM
for 1913, as follows: ^

For president — Messrs. Bunyard,
Duckham, Siebrecht and Manda. Mr.
Manda expressed his appreciation of
the loyal support accorded him and
withdrew.

For vice-president — Messrs. Hendrick-
son, IJonaldson and Fiesser.

For secretary — Messrs. Young, Ken-
nedy and De Forest.

For treasurer — Messrs. Rickards,
Schenck and Kessler.

For trustees — Messrs. Traendly, Tur-

ner, Weathered, Miesem, Froment, Bod-
dington, Pierson, Hornecker, Sheridan
and Langjahr.

The committee of awards which vis-
ited Mr Totty's greenhouses last week,,
to pass upon the merits of the rose
Mrs. Shawyer, gave it a record ot
ninety and one-sixth points.

Harry Good, Orange, N J.; J. H.
Andrews, Mt. Kisco, N. Y ; Wd ham
Saville, Bergenfield, N. J.; Leo Klein,
J C. Gorman and Adolph Hammer-
stroin, of New York, were elected to
membership and the following were pro-
posed: W. W. Rich, U. Cutler Ryerson,.
J F Anderson, Walter M. Bishop, J. B.
Jackson, W. F. Kline, A. Hickerson.
C. Matherton, Phinneus Allen, Claude
Tyler and A. T. Bunyard.

A courteous invitation of the Cook
County Florists' Association, of Chi-
cago, Vith reference to bowling privi-
leges, was received and referred to the
cdub'a champion bowler, Robert E.
Berry.

The pink rose exhibited by Mr. Bro-
zert was declared by Messrs. Totty,,

MEALY BTTO.

I am sending you by this mail, under
separate cover, a sample of diseased
chrysanthemums, and would ask that
you inform me as to its cause and how
it can be prevented. The florists whom
I have consulted do not seem to be able
to suggest a remedy, and as it is a seri-
ous menace to the culture of mums here
in southern Louisiana, I take the liberty
of applying to you for information.

M. B.

I find on the mums sent quite con-
siderable of the old familiar mealy bug.
You can do nothing with the flowers
now that they are developed. About
the best thing I know of to clean this
pest out of the young stock would be
heavy doses of nicotine liquid, applied
persistently all through the season.

Chas. H. Totty.

BEES ON CHBYSANTHEMUMS.

Will you kindly let me know what
can be done to get rid of bees f I am
bothered with hundreds of bees in my
greenhouses when the single chrysan-
themums and stevias are in blossom,
also when the Easter lilies bloom in the
spring, and they spoil the blooms.

J. li.

The insects are not bees, although
closely resembling them in appearance.
They are commonly called chrysanthe-
mum bugs, coming as they do in great
numbers while mums are in season and
doing much damage to single and
anemone-flowered varieties, but also to
not a few of the doubles which show
any open center. These insects can be
destroyed in large numbers by picking
them off the flowers in the mornings
and evenings, or on cold, cloudy days,
when they are almost torpid. Hanging
sticky fljT)apers here and there will
account for many and fumigation in
fairly heavy doses will also kill others.
Hand-picking in the early morning I
find the most effective way to reduce
their numbers. Do not be afraid of
them, as they cannot sting. C. W.

A GOOD COMMEBCIAIi MUM.

Last year in commenting on a picture
of Chrysanthemum Eamapo which ap-
peared in The Keview, C. H. Totty said:
"Eamapo was certificated in New York.
It is a seedling of Appleton and to my
mind will undoubtedly take the place
,'w of that variety. It is the same color,
shows the same easy growth and the
^li^ge is right up to the flower, but it
never under any circumstances shows
the objectionable' top-knot so common
on Col. Appleton. Eamapo will take a
place in the list of standard yellows,
wheja it is better known."

In iending the pho^graph from which
the accompanying iHustration was pre-
pared, October 19, 1912, Mr. Totty said:
<<The accompanying picture does but
slight justice to the variety, but it will
give some idea of the style of. flower.
This mum was distributed last year and

has at one bound forced itself to the
front as a first-class commercial variety.
Chrysolora is rated as a splendid sec-
ond early yellow, but Eamapo grown
under exactly the same conditions will
easily displace it. The latter produces
larger flowers and is several shades
deeper in color and has just as good a
foliage and stem, as Chrysolora, which
is a splendid variety in all respects, but
Eamapo is just a little better. The va-
riety Eamapo is an Appleton seedling,
giving the same color, much better stem
and foliage and a flower that is always
perfect. Out of a batch of 500 that
we planted this year we had fewer culls
than we have ever had of any variety
on the place. When better known, it
will unquestionably take its place as
the leading commercial yellow in its
season. ' '

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

The market last week was nothing
out of the ordinary, but there was a
steady increase of business. The sup-
ply of stock is not crowding. The
prices are about normal on everything.
Chrysanthemums have taken possession
of the market, and will remain in pos-
session for some time. Excellent mums
are grown in and near the city. The
higher grades seem to be the most in
demand. The prices of mum stock are
not declining much in the wholesale
market. Pompons this fall are more

iu demand than in previous years.
Betailers are getting good prices for
them. Carnations have improved a
great deal, both in quantity and qual-
ity, and the prices are advancing a lit-
tle. Boses are still plentiful and are
greatly improved. American Beauties
seem to be the leaders.

Various Notes.

Henry Kusik & Co. are receiving
some heavy consignments from the
north. They state that the stock is
excellent and is moving fast.

The W. L. Eock Flower Co. had an
exceptionally fine window last week,
filled with anemone pompons. At the
greenhouses they have a fine collection
of them. W. L. Eock is at present in
St. Paul, where he was one of the
judges at the mum show.

W. J. Barnes was busy this week
with decorations, which disposed of a
great many pot mums.

The Alpha Floral Co. is contemplat-
ing buying an electric car for the busi-
ness. They report they received a nice
shipment of holly trees from Europe
last week.

William Foith has commenced to cut
sweet peas, which are good.

E. H. Frandsen is back from the hos-
pital, but will not be able to attend
to business before Thanksgiving. The
trade is hoping that he will recover
soon.

Samuel Murray recently put up as
fine a basket as could be seen in any
city. It was original and artistic. The
basket stood five feet high and con-
tained a grape vine grown in the pot.
It had nine bunches of grapes, weigh-
ing eighteen pounds. The vines were
twined over the handle down to the
bottom of the basket. The base was
filled with Brutus chrysanthemums, and
pompons which matched the Brutus
mums.

FITTSBUBGH.

The Market.

Fine weather, good business and
plenty of stock to do it with. That
tells the story. Election week did not
aflfect trade, unless it made it better.
Presidential elections have always
knocked business heretofore, but we
hardly knew it was happening thia time.
Wholesalers and retailers all seem to
feel that this will be a good winter.
The retailers are booking some good
orders ahead and the growers say they
have fine crops of roses and carnations
in view, so everybody is happy.

Chrysanthemums, of course, Lave the
call, and they are coming in just right
and cleaning up every night. Fine
stock is offered, especially in the me-
dium sizes. It looks as if the growers
are growing more of the medium stock
and less of the specially large flowers,
which is wise. Single and pompon va-
rieties are much in demand. They seem
to grow in favor every year.

dub Meeting.

The Florists' Club met November 5
and, although it was election day, there
was a good attendance, it being chrys-

anthemum night. Phipps Conservatory,
Schenley park, showed Mrs. Gilbert
Drabble, a fine new white, and eighteen
other varieties in good form. Andrew
Forsyth, gardener for A. R. Peacock,
staged a dozen varieties, each showing
splendid finish. C. Becker, of Dixniont
hospital, showed four well-done sorts.
W. L. Mellon 's gardener brought excel-
lent pot plants. Elmer D. Smith & Son,
Adrian, Mich., showed a number of
seedlings and varieties of their intro-
duction. Charles H. Totty, Madison,
N. J., sent a bunch of his new pink
rose, Mrs. George Shawyer, which at-
tracted more attention than the chrys-
anthemums, probably on account of its
wonderful growth as much as anything
else. Mr. Totty also sent a collection
of good commercial cut flower varie-
ties of single chrysanthemums. The
Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. showed four
varieties of mums.

A publicity committee was appointed
as follows: De Forest Ludwig, E. C.
Reineman and T. P. Langhans.

Various Notes.

The shop windows are fine these days.
Mrs. E. A. Williams had a fine show of
baskets filled with single and pompon
chrysanthemums. Most of the windows
have vases, but generally run on one
color at a time, so that there is a change
from day to day.

Fred Burki went to Philadelphia No-
vember 5 and will visit his sister in
Virginia before he returns.

E. C. Ludwig and family are in the
east and will visit Edward Ludwig, who
is a student at Cornell.

Faulk Bros, are busy with their arti-
ficial door crepes, as well as their retail
flower business, but the hunting fever
caught Frank Faulk and he had to take
a couple of days off last week.

Randolph & McClements say this will
be a strenuous week for them: five
large weddings and several debutante
affairs. Hoo-Hoo.

OBITTJABY.

J. F. C. Ludemann.

After having been an invalid for
several years, J. F. C. Ludemann, one
of the oldest and best known nursery-
men on the Pacific coast, died at his
home in San Francisco October 31, and

was buried in Mount Olivet cemetery,
November 2. With the passing of this
pioneer from the scene of his labors^
there are left in this neighborhood only
a few of the old school of plantsmen
and gardeners. Those who made the
history of the craft in San Francisco's
early days have almost entirely gone to
the great beyond and a younger gen-
eration has arisen to take their places.
Mr. Ludemann commenced business
early in the sixties and for a period of
almost half a century conducted the
Pacific Nurseries. With his propagat-
ing department and sales yard near the
Presidio and his wholesale nurseries at
Millbrse, he successfully managed his
ever increasing trade until, owing to
the infirmities of age, he was compelled
to relinquish active management. The
Millbrae grounds are controlled by his
son, and the site of the old nursery at
the Presidio is now part of the expo-
sition grounds. Mr. Ludemann was
president of the Franklin Mutual
Building and Loan Association and a
member of several fraternal organiza-
tions. He is survived by his son, A. F.
Ludemann, and a daughter, Mrs. Hugo
Kuster; also by a foster son, Frederick
C. Buss, of the California Seed Co.
The death of Mrs. Ludemann some time 4^
ago was a severe blow to him, from
which he never quite recovered. The
funeral was held from the St. Markus
Lutheran church, of which Mr. Lude-
mann was a member, and was attended
by a large assemblage. The gardening
fraternity was well represented and
many beautiful floral emblems were
seen. Mr. Ludemann was a thorough
gentleman of the old school, and as a
plantsman he produced stock of the
most finished type.

Henry Gresens.

Henry Gresens, a well known florist
and nurseryman of Alameda, Cal., died
in that town November 2. He had re-
sided there for over twenty years and
had been in the retail businesa^.until
failing health compelled his retirement
over a year ago. He was 62 years of
age and is survived by a widow. He '
was a native of Germany. He was
one of the charter members of the So-
ciety Hortensis and also a member of
the Deutsche Krieger Verein. The fu-
neral was held November 6 and the
interment was in Evergreen cemetery.

The Review brings results.

Turn the compost heap once before it
freezes up.

To those who never stick to one crop
long enough to make a success: "It is
always the grass on the other side of the
street that, until you get to it, seems to
be the greener."

When one man has the big stack of
blue chips all the others play against him.
It is so in business. The little fellow
isn't noticed; it's the big man who is
the target.

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.

GtooD soil is one of the prime neces-
sities. First-class stock can be grown
in a variety of soils, but it usually is
easier to prepare the compost well and
on time than it is to supply the de-
ficiencies of neglect.

Some florists think that because they
never have had a printed letter-head
they never need get one. But it is an
extravagance to use plain paper. Many
of the best wholesale firms charge re-
tail prices to those who fail to show their
connection with the trade.

Some of the civil service bodies wonder
why it is their examinations for florists
and gardeners bring out so few candi-
dates. Simply because a man may be an
excellent craftsman without being much
with the pen, and because equally good
jobs are to be had with less effort.

Thebe is said to be an unprecedented
shortage in popular priced chiffons.
Owing to the prices at which the cheaper
grades of florists ' chiffons have been sell-
ing, they are said to have not been profit-
able for the mills, which have diverted
a large part of the production to other
fabrics.

It is all well enough to "put the
profits back into the business" if they
go back in the right way, but first of
all they should go into a cash balance in
the bank that will permit the prompt
payment of running expenses, and then
they should provide a reserve fund that
will pay for rebuilding when the green-
houses need it.

EACH CX)PY NEABLY A POUND.

It is quite the common thing for sub-
scribers to write, when renewing, that
The Eeview is good value at $1 the
year, but here is one better:

I enclose (1 for renewal of The Review. It Is
a paper worth its weight in gold. — A. M. Sour-
dry, Independence, Mo., October 31, 1912.

An ounce of gold is worth several
dollars — and each copy of The Eeview
weighs nearly a pound.

GBAFF OONTEAOT ENDS.

It recently was reported in these col-
umns that the estate of William Graff,
Columbus, 0., had brought suit against
Samuel Graff to enforce a contract
made between the two brothers at the
time they dissolved partnership. Sam
had agreed not to go into the retail
florists' business again in Columbus.
On the death of William, Sam started
again under the name of the Art Floral
Co., Sam Graff, manager. The suit fol-
lowed. The outcome is told in the fol-
lowing, from the Columbus Dispatch of
November 10:

"Charles E, Wheeler, as administra-
tor of the estate of the late High
street florist, William Graff, has lost
his suit against the brother of the de-
ceased, Samuel Graff, brought to re-
strain the latter from operating a flower
store in the Keith 's theater building
in violation of an agreement with his
brother.

' ' Some time before his death, William
Graff bought out the share of his
brother, Samuel, in the florist shop at 15
North High street, the contract of sale
carrying the provision that the retiring
brother should not engage thereafter
in the florist business in the city of
Columbus. Upon the death of the
brother, William, the living party to
the contract established a shop in East
Gay street, and the administrator of
his brother's estate brought suit to en-
join the operation of the business.

"Judge Kinkead, in his decision
against the estate, declares that the
contract made by the two brothers was
merely a personal one and that the
death of either party dissolved it. ' '

Many people will wonder if "the
death of either party" dissolves the
personal contract between the florist
and his landlord, and many other "per-
sonal contracts" that hitherto have
been rated either among the assets or
liabilities of estates.

CHICAGK).

The Great Central Market.

Favorable weather conditions have
helped bring the market around to a
more normal condition and prices are
holding steady, with the supply becom-
ing more plentiful so far as mums
are concerned. The crops of later
chrysanthemums are now on and hardly
anyone is short of stock, except perhaps
of the best grade. Eoses, however, are
on the short side and regardless of the
fact that mums are so plentiful there
is hardly any sign of a drop in prices
on the medium or better grades of
roses. Beauties are extremely scarce
and carnations have likewise dropped
off until it is hardly possible to fill all
the calls for either the colored or white
ones. Beauties have been hard to sup-
ply for a week or more and all lengths
are found to be short of ^ the demand.
Other roses are a little more plentiful
and some nice Killarney, White Kil-
larney, Eichmond and Sunburst are to
be had at fairly normal prices. Aaron
Ward and Lady Hillingdon are also to
be had and the demand for the fancy
roses appears to be better than usual.
With the start of the week chrys-
anthemums began to arrive in large
numbers and all the old favorites
were among those included in the ship-
ments. Bonnaffon has been arriving in
quantity for several days. Other fancy
mums were also added to the list and

OUR STOCK IS GROWN BY SPECIALISTS

— and that makes a very important difiference to you. The stock is of quite a diflferent character from
that grown simply as a catch crop — a space filler. It means uniform stock in quantity — the ability to
supply 500 all of the same grade and variety instead of mixed.
The good late varieties are now coming in in quantity. All colors.

FXNCY ROSES

There are three strong reasons why the thinking buyers are ordering
their Boses of us this season: In the first place, it is well known that
better Roses caunot be grown; in the second place, we have a full line— the
largest in the market; and, thirdly, we have this year fully doubled our sup-
ply—from new glass— so can take good care of a large number of new custo-
mers.

the week could almost be termed chrys-
anthemum, week from the number of
different varieties of the larger and
finer qualities now being received. All
colors are represented and the quality
ranges from the highest to the poor
stock that finds little encouragement
from the buyers who take only the
better grades. The warm weather
has brought on the crops with greater
rapidity than was ant^ipajted. Whether
this will affect the usual crops for the
Thanksgiving trade is a question that
is giving the local men some worry, but
it is expected that enough will be on
hand to care for everyone. Carnations
are most likely to come in faster if the
weather continues warm, and roses are
expected to respond to the conditions
as well, so that there is hardly any
chance that orders will be slighted.
Pompon mums, and singles, are everj'-
where. They are selling well but the
supply is so much greater than last
year that prices have suffered.

Greens are holding firm, with the
hardy ferns meeting with the usual ad-
vance that is experienced at this time
each year. Lilies are still in good de-
mand and bring a good price. Violets
are arriving on the market in large
quantities and are finding an excellent
demand in the face of the fine weather.
Retailers report that the weather is
suitable to increased business and as
long as it continues corsage bouquets
will be popular. Cattleyas are not so
plentiful as they were and the price has
advanced. Paper Whites have become
fairly plentiful.

Club Meeting.

There was an attendance of between
fifty and sixty members at the meet-
ing of the Chicago Florists' Club No-
vember 7. President P. J. Foley occu-
pied the chair and L. H. Winterson
acted as secretary pro tem., in the ab-
sence of C. F. McCormick, whose resig-
nation was accepted. OflScers for next
month's annual election were nomi-
nated, as follows:

For president — Guy French and D. A.
Robertson.

For vice-president — John P. Degnan,
A. Henderson and C. J. Bond.

For treasurer — E. F. Winterson.

For secretary — Wilder Deamud, S. A.
Jamieson and Lewis H. Winterson.

For trustee — H. N. Bruns, to succeed
himself; C. L. Washburn and George
Asmus holding over, as determined by
lot after the new by-laws were adopted.

A paper by Irwin Bertermann, of In-
dianapolis, was read by Wilder Deamud.

much larger than it was a year ago,
when he was in the smaller store.

Tim Matchen, sales manager for
Peter Eeinberg, says that for every two
customers that stop buying in this mar-
ket because they build their own glass
three new ones develop, so that the
number of customers is greater today
than ever before, and steadily increas-
ing. He is one of the optimists.

D. E. Freres says that to make a
success of pompon or single chrysanthe-
mums they must be handled with care;
the growers must see to it that stock
gets to the customers in fresh and at-
tractive condition. Too many handle
the bunched mums roughly.

Ground was broken this week for
twelve new houses that are to be
erected as quickly as possible at Bas-
eett & Washburn's new location at
Gregg's Station. The five houses
started this spring have been com-
pleted. The ones to be erected will
be 28x225 feet.

John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling

not appear so strong as when stock
was less plentiful, still total sales run
well ahead of last year at this date.

square dealing and right prices at all times, we now occupy an important position in the greatest flower market of them all.
We have recently taken over the cut flower business of E. H. Hunt, Inc., and have materially increased our source of supply
so that you can dapend on gotting what you order.

moting the avenue."

A. "t. Pyfer went to St. Paul Novem-

Carnation Co. He expected to return
Thursday, have a day at the store and
leave that night for Cleveland, where
the carnations are to be staged Novem-

Mrs. Wm. A. Peterson is one of the

Frank Johnson, of the A. L. Kandall
Co., was at St. Paul the first of this
week, for the closing days of the flower
show there. C. F. McCormick, of the

whole show.

C. W. McKellar has been having an
unpleasant time with his feet, due to
being on them so much. Commonly the
swelling is at the other end when busi-
ness begins coming good for a florist.

J. H. McNeilly, who has for months
been defending himself in court against
the charges of a woman former em-
ployee, is again in doubt about the path
of the florist being strewn with roses.
Mr. McNeilly runs a flower store in con-
nection with a candy and soda shop.
He once had quite a catering business
in connection. When he has a compe-
tent florist and trade is good he thinks
the flower business the finest thing he
has ever tried, but when he loses his
help he quickly gets to a point where
he talks about selling out. At present
it is a flower store without a florist.

The Gateway to the South. -

The business seems to be affected by
the weather. The warm autumn days,
more like June than anything else, seem
to have infected the buyers with spring
fever or some such malady. There is
too much stock for market requirements
and as a result none of it brings re-
turns commensurate with the real value.

Chrysanthemums naturally are occu-
pying the center of the stage. They
are at their best. The rose cut has
decreased in size to usable proportions

and almost everything good clears
nicely. There are, however, off days
when roses do not move well. The
Beauty cut is normal and selling well.
Other offerings include the various va-
rieties of carnations, lilies, valley, or-
chids, violets and sweet peas.

PHILADEIiPHIA.

The Bising Eastern Market.

The supply of cut flowers so far ex-
ceeds the demand that prices rule low.
There are occasional exceptions, where
a variety is scarce or where the quality
is unusually fine. It is apt to take
both these conditions to make a high
price possible. The market conditions
can be most clearly described by the
assertion that there are enough chrys-
anthemums to do all the business, un-
aided by any other varieties of flowers.
While this is not literally true, the
statement pretty nearly portrays the
situation and shows why the market is
80 weak. The trading in chrysanthe-
mums is enormous. Prices, in the opin-
ion of good judges, average below the
standard for the season. The scarcity
in pink has been overcome by the ar-
rival of Maud Dean and Dr. Enguehard
in quantity, aided by a few Ghadwick
Supreme. White Bonnaflfon and Lynn-
wood Hall have strengthened the
whites, while Bonnaffon is good and
most plentiful of the yellows. Qui-
nola leads the pompons. It is a fine
thing when well grown. Carnations are
selling better than they have been, par-
ticularly the whites. Prices have not
advanced. Violets are in heavy supply.
They seem to lack support sufficient to
make them move lively. The supply of
valley is less than during most of Octo-

eighteenth floor of the hotel, the first
of its kind up there. It is a yellow
dinner, arranged for about 140 guests,
seated at ten round tables. Five of
these tables have centerpieces of a
single tall silver vase on each. Each
vase contains two dozen fancy yellow
chrysanthemums. The centerpieces for
the other five tables are low twig handle
baskets, also filled with yellow chrysan-
themums.

The wedding is in the cathedral,**a
lofty building of great size, impressive
in its solemn majesty. The chancel is
decorated with palms, ferns and white
chrysanthemums. The long aisle is
guarded by a dozen tall posts surmount-
ed by lighted candelabra garlanded
with smilax and ornamented with white
chrysanthemums.

The design is for a leader in marine
affairs. It is an anchor of great size
upright, on a bed of ferns. It is round
and perfect in every detail, the body
of small white chrysanthemums and car-
nations, the chains of violets.

is situated in the shopping district, at

reach of all the leading retail kstores.
This building was erected by nie S. S.

aged the belief that Washington has a
great future as a flower center. Part
of the stock received comes from near-
by growers, part from a distance. The
fact that much time can be saved by
florists in the south who desire flowers

quickly warrants the belief that Wash-
ington is the natural base of supplies,
for the southern states.

The impression given by the new
building, when first seen from the side-
walk of H street, is a pleasant surprise.
Mention a wholesale cut flower house
and one naturally imagines a place
difficult of access, on a back street, or
a room in a basement. Here is a mod-
ern fireproof building of brick and
stone, of attractive architecture; large
window, high ceiling, every detail of
arrangement carefully planned and
executed. The entire ground floor,
26x100, is covered by a single room.
It is lighted by an immense window
in the front that affords an unob-
structed view of the interior, by
smaller windows in the rear, and by
skylights above. The great height of
the ceiling increases the impression of
space. The floor is of concrete, cov-
ered with a more springy preparation
that is fireproof. There are tables ''in
the center, a large ribboil showcase on
one side, an admirably built ice-box,

20x10x10, on the other. This ice-box
is of wood, cork lined, with air spaces.
It is finished in steel gray to match
the ribbon case. Both contrast well
with the light-colored walls. Close to
the ice-box, for convenience, are the
telephone booths, sheltering a small
packing table. The rear of the store
opens on two side streets that meet T-
shaped at the door, affording excellent
facilities for loading and unloading
stock. Above the rear entrance is a
balcony, reached by a flight of stairs.
Here is the manager's private office,
as well as the business office. While
out of the way, these offices command
a view of the store in front. The base-
ment shows the same careful arrange-
ment as the store above. A receiving
room under the front pavement is made
water-tight by an ingenious device, de-
spite the fact that it is below the sewer
level. The next room is cooled by
a well opening into the room to admit
cool air, a shaft opening from the room
at the top to discharge warm air; this
shaft ends at thy highest point of the
building. Then comes an ice-cooled
room intended for greens and flowers.
Both of these rooms have cork lining
and air spaces; both are fitted with
Stevenson doors; both are automati-
cally lighted by electricity. The fur-
nace, the quick heater and the coal
shute occupy the rear of the basement.
Between them and the rooms described
the remaining space is to be utilized
for packing in tim^ of rush. A large,
airy roqio forms the second floor. It
will be rented for the present, though

Regarding the Home Industrial
School, 2525 Wisconsin avenue, north-
west, being interested in floriculture
and horticulture and therefore entitled
to wholesale prices on all stock pur
chased, the secretary was instructe<l to
reply to a communication received from
a firm of New York nurserymen that,
inasmuch as this school is a beneficiary
under the government and sells its
products in competition with the Wash-
ington florists, in our opinion it is not
entitled to any reductions. The cause
was considered a worthy one, but there
are so many such institutions where
young folks are taught these trades who
sell flowers to the public that the mem-
bers did not think they should be placed
in the same class as the trade with
respect to discounts.

The bowling club, according to a re-
port by N. L. Hammer, has been form-
ally organized and, besides Mr. Ham-
mer, the following officers were chosen:
George Dalglish, secretary, George
Cooke, treasurer, and W. H. Ernest,
captain. It is expected that ten bowl-
ers will be sent to Minneapolis and it
is estimated that their expenses will
amount to over $500. These will be
met from contributions made weekly

The Market.

With the opening of the French
opera house the social events of the
season were ushered in. The wealth of
elegant bouquets and corsages added in
a great measure to the beauty of the
scene, and it is a pity that the attrac-
tive custom of the opening night is
not to some extent followed throughout
the season. Weddings and other social
functions, as well as the funeral of one
of our prominent citizens during the
week, helped to dispose of a large quan-
tity of left-over stock of chrysanthe-
mums, as well as the regular incoming
shipments of mixed cut flowers. The
plant sales during the last few weeks
increased considerably, owing to the re-
stocking of many homes with fresh
plants.

Eichard Vincent, Jr., of White

dreds of stereopticon views in natural
colors added to the attractiveness of
the lecture. A fair-sized audience, com-

families, was present.

while the pictures of the orchid exhibits
were thrown on the screen. The im-
mense fields of hyacinths, tulips and
narcissi at Lisse, Holland, were the
lecturer's next subject. The gorgeous-
uess of the views, with the highly inter-
esting remarks thereon, will never lie
forgotten. Views from the fine exhibit
at Ghent, Belgium, closed the Euro-
pean travels, and the address was con-
cluded with views from Mr. Vincent's
own productions of dahlias, in all their
splendor of color and form.

A large bunch of outdoor-grown red
roses was presented to Mrs. Kichard
Vincent, .Ir. White chrysanthemums
were presented to all the ladies pres-
ent, through the courtesy of President
H. Doescher. The speaker was greatly
applauded and New Orleans was fortu-
nate, indeed, to have heard Mr. Vin-
cent's talk.

The Market.

While business might be much bet-
ter, yet considering the heavy quantity
of flowers arriving, it cannot be classed
as unsatisfactory. Each year the first
half of November is a period of glut,
and the present season is no exception
to this rule. Chrysanthemums, while
less abundant than a week ago, still
overtop everything else. The most
prominent variety is Bonnaffon, still
the most popular sort in this market,
and which will sell when other varieties
cannot be moved. Of this good old
sort there are probably more flowers
now arriving than of all others com-
bined. Prices on these have shown lit-
tle change of late. Roses, while selling
a trifle better, are handicapped by the
abundance of mums. Such sorts as Bus-
sell, Taft, Sunburst, Cardinal and the
best Killarney move well, but there is
a big quantity of short-stemmed stock
which has to be cleared low.

Carnations are of fine quality, but so
abundant that only a limited number
rise above $2 per hundred. White Won-
der, Gloriosa, Benora, Pink Delight and
Beacon are leaders. Violets have never
been seen in such overwhelming num-
bers so early in the season, and prices
have ruled low on them. Some good
sweet peas are coming in from several
growers, and Paper White narcissi are
also once more in evidence.

Lily of the valley has been rather
hard to clear, and the same holds true
of lilies. Snapdragon is seen on several
stands and sells well, especially pink
varieties. Cattleya labiata is still
druggy, and there is an abundance of
other orchid blooms. Gardenias are
not as yet plentiful and sell well. There
is an improved demand for both adian-
tum and asparagus, and some good
smilax is coming in.

Pot plant trade is improving. Chrys-
anthemums, Otaheite oranges, Lorraine
and Cincinnati begonias, ericas, cycla-
mens, and ferns in variety are the
leaders.

Silver Jubilee Banquet.

There was an attendance of 350 at
the silver jubilee banquet of the Gar-
deners' and Fkjrists' Club in Horticul-
tural hall, November 11. The banquet
was held in the main exhibition hall,
the side and end walls being banked
with the big plant groups and specimen
chrysanthemum plants from the exhibi-
tion which closed the previous evening.
The tables were beautifully decorated.
Mme. Charles Eussell rose was the
cynosure of all eyes. Splendid Princess
Dagmar carnations and other novelties
were included in the wealth of flowers
on the tables. Dill, of Melrose, was
caterer, and the banquet left nothing
to be desired.

After everyone had been satisfied.
Vice - president Kennedy welcomed
everyone in a few felicitous remarks,
and in the absence of Judge C. W.
Hoitt, introduced Alderman Walter
Ballantyne, of the Boston city council,
as toastmaster of the evening, a posi-
tion Mr. Ballantyne filled to perfection.
Alex. McGregor, of the governor's coun-
cil, spoke for the commonwealth. Will-
iam J. Stewart, first president of the
club and largely responsible for its or-
ganization, was historian. J. Otto
Thilow, of Philadelphia, in his usual
able and eloquent manner, spoke for
the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of
America. Adolph Farenwald, in his
usual genial way, responded to the
toast of the American . Rose Society,
and in the absence of Philip Breitmeyer,
of Detroit, who had planned to attend,
Peter Fisher gracefully responded for
the American Carnation Society. Charles
W. Parker, president of the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society, extended the
greetings of that society, while W. N.
Craig spoke for the ladies.

A telegram of good cheer was read
from Thomas Pegler.

The speeches were interspersed with

vocal and instrumental selections, a
ladies' orchestra furnishing splendid
music at intervals, also for dancing,
which was enjoyed later in the evening
in the lecture hall. The dance director
was W. J. Patterson. His aids were
H. H. Bartsch, W. Collins, W. J. Thurs-
ton, J. L. Miller, D. Finlayson and M. F.
Euane. The committee of arrangements
had done its work well, and all present
spent a most delightful evening. The
(Jardeners' and Florists' Club was or-
ganized January 7, 1887, chartered June
24, 1892. It has had ups and downs in
its career, like other organizations. Its
Jiresent membership is 450.

With the Betailers.

J. Newman & Son, on Tremont street,
had an attractive window decoration
last week of Bonnaffon mums and
bunches of the deciduous holly, Ilex
vertieillata. They are quite busy on
funeral work.

Penn 's, on Bromfield street, have had
an unusually good season so far with
wedding and other decorations. Tripods
of white birch, from which were sus-
pended small earthenware baskets of
plants, were features in one window,
in another, Bonnaffon mums, violets and
cibotiums made a stunning show.

The Boston Cut Hower Co. continues
to have a fine demand for the shower
casket covers and receives many testi-
monials for- its work. This is one of
the few concerns putting uj> cheap
])0xcs of roses and other assorted
flowers.

Mrs. .T. W. Rogers, on Summer street,
has had a good sale for bulbs this sea-
son and now has quite an active cut
flower and plant business. She is situ-
ated close to the big South Terminal
and many thousands pass her store
daily.

T. F. Galvin, at his Tremont street
store, continues to feature the new rose,
Mme. Charles Russell. He has a fine
orchid display and some grand speci-
men mum flowers. Plant trade is active
here.

Wax Bros, are an energetic firm, al-
ways full of business. Their specimen
mums are noteworth}'. Pansies made
up in huge bunches of one color are
featured here, as are single violets.

Choice fruits as well as flowers are
to be seen in the big show window of
MacMulkin. Mr. MacMulkin captured
firsts for the floral table decoration and
fruit table, and second for the large
plant group and orchid group at the
show, as well as several other prizes.

H. R. Comley usually has some flowers

not seen in other stores. Double white
violets, Daphne Indit-a and Lilium
aiiratum were noted here.

F. H. Houghton does not crowd his
windows as do too many of the retail-
ers. Baskets of mums tastefully ar-
ranged, old-fashioned bouquets and
cibotium ferns are featured here.

Zinn, on Park street, is being kept
quite busy this season. I noted an
extra fine })ink snapdragon here, orchids
in good variety, gladioli, bouvardias
and a fine selection of pot plants.

(arbone, on Boylston street, never
crowds his window or store displays.
Everything shows to the best possible
advantage, and color harmony is most
carefully studied. One window here
was devoted to specimen plants of Ota-
lieite oranges. Many large ivy plants
are suspended high in the windows and
sprays from them hang down naturally.

Fall business is starting in satisfac-
torily with the W. K. Doyle Co., on
Hoylston street. They have an attract-
ively arranged window in which plants
are chiefly used.

The Rosary, on Boylston street, had
almost an entire window devoted to
BonnaflFon mums. They have had a
good season up to date and anticipate
brisk business the coming winter.

Various Notes.

F. L. Sly, of Stoughton, who recently
startetl in business on his own account,
is sending ^excellent single and double
violets to D. F. Laney, at the Boston
Cooperative Market. .1. T. Gale, of
Tewksbury, at the same stand, has some
fine double violets.

Kdward Wood, of Lexington, is going
strong on mums at present. Enguehard
and Baby pompons are two of his spe-
cialties.

W. S. Phelps, of Marlboro, is in the
market with good pink and white snap-
dragons. He also has a large cut of
mums.

S. J. Goddard has, among other new
carnations, several of English origin,
including British Triumph and Lady
Northcliffe. The latter, a light pink, he
speaks highly of.

The Scituate Greenhouses and C. L.
Pierce, of Holbrook, are growers of
smilax, which is in active demand at
the Boston Flower Exchange.

William H. Elliott had this season
2,500 bush chrysanthemums, mostly in
8-inch and 9-inch pots. He finds Garza
the most popular variety, but Shrimp-
ton, Mrs. Frank Beu, J. H. White,
Sunderbruch and Harry are also in de-
mand.

J. J. Fee, of Jamaica Plain, W. H.
Tomlinson and H. W. Vose were the
earliest shippers of Paper White nar-
cissi to the local market.

The Mishawum Flower Co., A. F. An-
derson, W. S. Phelps and other large
mum growers are sending a splendid
assortment to J. M. Cohen at the Boston
Cooperative Market. Popular sorts are
Bonuaffon, Winter Cheer, Intensity,
Papworth, White Bonnaffon, Enguehard
and Baby pompon.

Sweet peas of excellent quality are
now arriving from Malcolm Orr, of
Saugus; W. P. Foley, of Mansfield;
Mishawum Flower Co. and E. K. Mundy,
of Reading.

.John McFarland, of North Easton,
has a heavy daily cut of Bonnaffon
mums at present, in addition to his lily
of the valley. He has a house of gar-
denias looking healthy, one house of
3,000 poinsettias which are just show-
ing bracts, and 7,000 giganteum lilies
being grown for Easter.

At the next meeting of the Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club, November 19,
in addition to the regular lecture,
nominations of oflScers will be made for
1913. There is also much other busi-
ness of importance to come up.

Jas. F. Delay, of Stoneham, at the
Boston Cooperative Market, has a fine
lot of Christmas peppers and assorted
ferns.

Patten & Co., of Tewksbury, have
3,000 of their new crimson carnation,

FANCY CU

and a Complete I

FLORISTS

1^ WE CAN HANDLE ALL YOUR ORD

In our Cut Flower Department we are in a position to please the most crit
by those whose requirement is quantity. In our Florists' Supplies Departmen
plies in America. Come and see them. It's worth the trip to everyone withii

MUMS— We Can Supply the Stock You Need in Quantity

The good late varieties are now coming in. We have them in all colors, fine stock that we can sell at from $1.00 to $2.50 per dozen-
$6.00 to $16.00 per 100— and that's the kind of Mum you can sell in quantity. White, pink and yellow in all sizes. Plenty of bunched spray
of fine Pompons and Singles, pink, yellow and white. Now bookingr orders for ThanksfiTina:.

FANCY ROSES

Our present crops of Roses are not only A No, 1 in quality, but are so large we can fill every order. Specially strong on the Killamej
and Richmond, but also can supply all the other varieties. We believe we are conservative when we say there are no finer Roses to be ha
anywhere. Shall have plenty to fill your order for Thanksg^iving^.

HOME=QROWN ORCHIDS

Our Cattleyas are the home-grown kind. Excellent value at $5.00 and $6.00 per dozen. Once you use these
you will be content with no other kind. Fancy sprays of oncidiums, yellow, $4.00 per 100 flowers. No matter
what you need in Cat Flowers, order of Randall. Beauties, Violets, Lilies, Valley,
Snapdragon and everything in season. We are now booking orders for Thanksg^iv-
ing — and Our Prices are Rig^ht. ^

BOXWOOD FOR CHRISTMAS

We ask that you order some of our Boxwood now, so that you can see the quality of our stock and
compare it with what you have had from others. We are sure that you will want us to supply you for
Christmas. We already have booked a large number of big orders for shipment in December, but have not
by any means booked up our supply, for it will be the largest ever. Order enough. Remember that you
take no risk. Boxwood keeps indefinitely. If you don't use it all for Christmas, use it up in designs in
January, when flowers usually are rather scarce. Per case of 60 lbs., $7.60.

WILD SMILAX

We get a daily shipment of Wild Smilax and can fill orders promptly with fresh picked stock. Larger
orders shipped to you direct from the woods. Quality guaranteed. Per case of 60 lbs., $6.00.

V-^«^ f

VIOLET CORDS

There is no better value in any of our lines than on
these Cords. Only our huge sales enable us to keep
prices so low. A trial order is urged. You will be
back for more. All colors.

No. 1 Card Ties— per dozen, 20c; per grross. $2.00;
five-gross lots, per gross, $1.50.

No. 1 Violet Cords— per dozen, 3.')c; per gross. $3.50;
five-gross lots, per gross, $.(.00.

No. 2 Violet Cords— per dozen, 60c; per gross, $0.00:
five-gross lots, per gross. $5.00.

No. 11 Rope Cords— per dozen (violet), $1.00; per

75c; per gross (white and pink), $7.50.

Order $5.00 or $10.00 wortti, assorted.

Writ* us about your order for Christmas Groans. Tliese fluctuate in
price to such an extent that it is Impossible to tell what the market will be— but if
yoa want to be assured a supply we will book your order at a guaranteed price. Or
we will post you on the market any time you are ready to buy.

FANCY RUSCUSl

The experienced buyer of Ruscus knows that there are fully as many qualities of
Ruscus as there are houses dyeing it. Good Ruscus, bright and even in color, is about
the best seller the trade has got hold of in many a day. But the dull, dirty-colored,
moldy, spotted Ruscus— well, about all you can do with that kind is to ship it back to
the house you got it from, and order some really good Ruscus from Randall.

Randall's Ruscus is prepared according to the celebrated Marechal method. This
means supreme quality. A post card will bring you samples and prices. Send one
today. You really should not buy except by sample— the price means nothing un-
til you see the quality. Bright Christmas red, violet, green, lavender, cerise, pur-
ple, gold, silver, etc.— any color you want promptly made up to order if not in stock.

lyers and at the same time our supply of stock is so large that we can do equally well
arry every article used in the trade in complete assortment, the largest stock of Sup-
miles of Chicago. You can save your railroad fare on even a small order.

RIBBONS AND CHIFFONS

We believe we have the largest and best selected stock in America, of Florists' Ribbons and
iiffons— not a yard of dry-goods-store stock in the house, as we sell only to Florists. For those
ho want the best quality we have the finest Ribbons money will buy, and for those who can use
ss expensive grades we have several different qualities. While all our stock is priced at the low-
it rate at which that grade can be sold, the bulk of our business is on the medium-priced lines—
e handle these in such enormous quantity that we are confident these are the best values ever
Efered the trade. Due to conditions beyond control, prices have advanced all over the world,
ipecially on Chiffons. We foresaw this advance and made contracts with the mills, both in

this country and Europe, that on many lines enable us to sell at
what the same lines would cost now.
' ^ You can order by mail with perfect confidence.

VELVET POINSETTIAS

The richest looking we have ever handled. This
is really an elegant line and we are so confident of
your further business that all we want you to do is
to see them. Dwarf size, per dozen, 66c: per gross,
$6.0(); medium, per dozen, $1.50; per gross, $12.00;
mammoth, per dozen, $1.85; per gross, $18.00.

DOLLAR DOVES

You should try our dollar Dove (Blue label—
$12.00 per dozen; $1.15 each if ordered in less than
dozen lots). You will agree that it is the best value you ever have
Seen. Of course we have cheaper doves (Red label,$I.O(> each, $10.50
per dozen; Green label, 90c each, $9.00 per dozen) that are good value
and may serve your purposes, but if you want a specially good ar-
ticle order a dozen of our Blue label Dove at $12.00.

RUSCUS

WREATHS

The same Ruscus is used as we send
out in the loose form. When you see
the Wreaths you will say they are dif-
ferent to any you ever saw. They are
in a class by themselves. They have
life and glow. Ours are the kind you
will want. Send us a post card order-
ing a few and be convinced. Do it now.
You will see at once you can sell quan-
tities at Christmas.

EVANSVIIiliE, IND,

The Market.

Business is on the increase again
and everyone is looking forward to a
busy season. Thousands of mums of
excellent quality are being cut and find
ready sale. Koses are good and carna-
tions are improving, but still are scarce.
Two or three killing frosts this month
have done away with all outside stock.

Various Notes.

Theodore Kuebler, of Santa Bosa
fruit farm, is cutting some nice mums.
He has finished a small addition to his
plant and expects to propagate 50,000
geraniums this season, of which he has
about 20,000 in the propagating bench.
He sells these by advertising in The
Review.

Karl Zeidler is taking a little vaca-
tion after his summer's labor. He has
entirely rebuilt his plant. The houses
are long, high, have plenty of light
and are a big improvement over the old
ones. The carnations are in solid beds
at the east end of the two long houses
and are looking fine; in fact, the best
he ever had. The plants are large and
thrifty, with an immense crop coming
on. The different benches are not all
built j-et, but this is being done as fast
as possible.

Austin Wallace has put in a big fire-
box boiler and will not have any
trouble this year in keeping his houses
warm.

The carnations and lettuce are in
good condition. Sweet peas and smi-
lax are also grown.

The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. is en-
joying good business. The demand for
mums is so large that they are being
cut and sold before being fully de-
veloped. ♦

C. L. Niednagel is cutting some of
the best American Beauties the writer
has ever seen. His Killarney and
Maryland are equally good. He has
been consigning part of his cut to
George Angermueller, of St. Louis.

.T. C. Elspermann is cutting lots of
mums, and finds a ready sale for them.
His carnations are good. Mrs. Elsper-
mann gave a prize euchre party one
day last week for their church and
$112 was realized.

Julius Niednagel & Sons are kept
busy right along. Roses are in crop
and are good. The carnations are full

of buds, with prospects for a big crop
for Christmas. The mums are selling
well and they have thousands of them.
A bench of poinsettias stand about six
feet high, with good foliage. A house
of violets is in good shape and giving
good flowers.

Miss Nellie Goodge is improving
steadily, but is inclined to overwork at
times, when she sees things that ought
to be done.

Royston & Fenton are off crop in
roses, but will probably have a good cut
for Christmas, weather permitting.
They have planted 650 smilax in an
empty bench. These plants were bought
of an advertiser in The Review and
were fine. E, L. F.

The German growers have a disap-
pointing crop of aster seed this season.

Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, still are in
doubt about offering any of their sweet
pea novelties this season, because of the
short crops.

Darwin tulips certainly are enjoying a
great advance in popularity. Many more
could have been sold this season had they
been in stock when called for.

The Indiana Tomato Seed Co. has been
incorporated at Nabb, Ind., with a cap-
ital of $15,000, by H. E. Grant, J. N.
Grant and E. V. Grant.

It is the quite general case that grass
seeds this season are plentiful and garden
seeds quite the opposite, with the flower
%Md situation mixed.

There is no section of the country in
which the seed trade is developing faster
than in the south. In the south seed
selling knows no seasons and never
ceases.

Before the convention of the Califor-
nia nurserymen at Oakland, November 7,
Lester L. Morse delivered an address on
"The Seedsman's View of the Nursery
Business. ' '

Practically all seedsmen now print
the disclaimer beneath the salutation on
their letter-heads, in accordance with the
decision of the Illinois Supreme Court
brought to their attention by The Eeview.

Cold storage valley pips are said to
be pretty well cleaned up and there is a
short crop this year because of too long
continued rains in the Hamburg growing
district, so valley is likely to be ^od
property this season.

A new seed business is being started
on South State street, Jackson, Miss.,
under the name of the Taylor Seed Store.
The proprietors are S, J. Taylor and his
son, Swepson E. Taylor. The younger
man will act as manager.

Many seedsmen will give the greater
part of their attention, as usual, to
bouquet green and holly for the next five
weeks. Small quantities of green are
already coming forward. It looks like
another season of light supply and high
prices, although the quantity will, of
course, be determined more than anything
else by the date of the arrival of winter
in the green districts. Holly probably

Thirty-fifth street, Campbell avenue and

time ago, the Albert Dickinson Co.,
Chicago, has secured a $500,000 loan

loan, which matures in twenty years,
bears five per cent interest. It is se-
cured by the property in question as

occupied by it and which it plans to
leave by July 1 of next year. While
the plans for the new plant have not
yet been fully decided on, ■ it is ex-
pected it will cost upwards of $1,500,-

ST. LOUIS.

The Southwestern Market.

Last week found the local market in
about the same condition as the week
previous and still crowded with stock
of all grades. Extra fancy grades al-
ways sell well, while the others are not
«o quickly disposed of unless in big lots
and at a low price. The clear, cool
weather had a good effect on all stock.
The demand, they say, while not brisk
was steady all through the week.

Chrysanthemums, of course, had the
call and all the wholesale houses had
plenty of good blooms in the leading
varieties, such as Ivory, Major Bon-
naflfon, Eaton, Appleton and Robinson.
Golden Wedding and Chadwick are ex-
pected this week and these are good
sellers in this market. Roses seem to
be plentiful and consignments seem to
be in good crop, especially so with Kil-
l,arney and Richmond. There are also
quite a few Bride, Maid, Maryland and
Ivory coming in. Other varieties than
those mentioned are somewhat scarce.
The demand for roses has not been so
good since the mum season opened. Car-
nations run along as usual at this time
of the year, with a good call for fancies,
which are not overplentiful. Short-
■stemmed stock is plentiful and sells
slowly at a low price. This market is
«ow in a position to supply extra good
valley. Violets have commenced to sell
and the market has been cleaning up
on these of late at 50 cents per hundred.
The bulk comes from the Kirkwood
;growers. There were a nice lot of
Easter lilies to be had during the week.

The market is expecting to quote on
Paper Whites, Romans and callas by
next week. Everything in greens is
plentiful at the usual prices.

Wasted bench space in greenhouses is the direct
cause of thousands of dollars loss annually in the florist
business. Even wasted space under benches is a serious
loss to most growers. The man who can produce the
largest crops per annum in a given space is the best
grower — the most profitable grower to employ. Keep
your greenhouse space, from the top of the benches
down, constantly in use — use it for something. The
writer know^s a man in Montreal who even operates a
cellar under his houses, where are produced mushrooms,
etc., utilizing the same greenhouse heat. He knows the
real value of greenhouse space, and is able to produce
double the quantity that most growers handle in the
same space and time. A journey through this man's
place would be an eye-opener to many florists. Cold
Storage Giganteum is an excellent article to fill in with
— you can put them underneath the benches for a con-
siderable time, then bring them on, one crop after
another, all through the year. Lilies can be used
profitably for many purposes and Horseshoe Brand
Giganteum are dependable. Try them — you could not

The Windier Wholesale Floral Co. had
some excellent consignments of roses,

Angermueller 's supply department

The Market.

One week ago we had our first really
killing freezes, but the weather is warm
again. Outdoor flowers are a thing of
the past, however, and it is shown in
the great increase of business. Hallow-
e'en business was good, but not all that
was expected. Funerals and parties,
together with several weddings, served
to clean up all stock, however, so all
are happy. The last week has been the
best for retail business that has been
known here for years. Chrysanthemums
are in big demand and few, if any,
are going to waste. Pot mums are sell-
ing well. In fact, there has been a
great deal of stock shipped in from
other points to meet the demand. Car-
nations are plentiful at present, and
the quality is good. Violets continue
to have short stems, but they sell well
at fair prices. Roses are still scarce,
but the quality remains good. Orchids
are more in evidence than they were a
week ago, and of better quality. Lilies
and valley are rather scarce. Ferns are
selling better than they usually do at
this time of year. Fall planting of
trees and shrubs has started and prom-
ises to be a record breaker, as there
were so many good dwellings erected
this season here. Perhaps there has
never been a summer in the history of
Nashville when there were so many
good residences erected as this year.

Various Notes.

The bursting of the city reservoir
this week demolished a score of dwell-
ings, and threatened to cut some of our
growers off from a water supply for a
few days, but this was fortunately
averted.

At Haury & Sons' place of business
the decorations were mostly single
chrysanthemum plants. They have
made a specialty of these pot plants
and s^y the sales are good. Their cut
mums are still in evidence, as well as
their carnations.

When we called upon Mr; Geny we
found everyone in the store busy. A
rush of over fifty designs on top of
unusually heavy out-of-town orders, re-
ceived late in the afternoon, kept all
on the jump, but after hard work
everything was sent out on time. Mr.
Geny says that business has not been
as good in five years as it is right now,
and a visit to his place of business cer-
tainly bears out the statement. Mums
continue to be his specialty this week,
although his carnations are coming in
crop.

If there have ever been any prettier
floral decorations sent out in this city
than the Joy Floral Co. sent to Miss
Keith's debutante party it has not been
our good fortune to see them. The
decorations consisted of American
Beauty roses in one of the parlors, and
the remainder of the house was deco-
rated with chrysanthemums. The table
decorations were valley, orchids and
Killarneys. An elaborate basket of
pink orchids, valley and Killarneys was
said to be the prettiest piece ever seen
in the city.

The seed business is a little slack,
now that the cold has struck and plant-
ing has about ceased. The respite is
needed, however, to get stock into shape

EVER - BEABING STBAWBEBBIES.

In an account of a local fair I find
the following: "Prominent among
these displays is that of the ever-bear-
ing strawberry, by Mr. Creep, of Mid-
dletown. This display consists of a
huge barrel bored full of holes, and
growing out from each is an ever-
bearing strawberry plant loaded down
with ripe fruit. ' ' Is this possible, and
if so, could the berries be grown in a
greenhouse? L. F.

It happened that in the same mail
there was a sample of the fall-bearing
strawberries grown by Edward W.
Creep, Middletown, Pa. They were
handsome fruits.

Replying to the inquiry about grow-
ing them in a greenhouse, we do not
know of its having been tried, but Mr.
Creep says in his letter he thinks they
will bear all winter in a greenhouse.
These varieties fruit outdoors in autumn
until quite severe frosts arrive.

DISEASED CUCUMBERS.

I wish you would tell me what is the
matter with a few cucumber plants
in our houses and mention a remedy.
The plants seem to be nearly all healthy
until they are from one to two months
old; then they seem to blight at the
tips, slightly wilt for a few days and
start again into growth, but the plants
have some yellow streaks and spots on
the leaves and the cukes have the
same peculiarity. The first plant which
was aflfected is now going ahead with a
strong growth, but the leaves do not
quite regain their right color. The soil
is light and sandy. No manure was
used this fall, but a crop of wheat and
vetch was grown and turned under, and
after three weeks the soil was steril-
ized. We grow the plants in solid beds,
three and one-half feet wide, with an
18-inch path between the beds. There
is a slight shade in the morning at the
spot where the plants are affected. Any
information will be greatly appreciated.
R. E. M.

It is difficult to tell what is the mat-
ter with the plants, from the descrip-
tion, but I have a suspicion that it is
the bacterial wilt disease which is
giving cucumber growers so much
trouble all over the country. If it is

to other plants and the crop will never
pay, as so many of them will be so
affected that they will finally die out
without producing much of a crop.
There is only one preventive and that
is to pull the plants out and burn them.
In case it is not the trouble that I
suspect, it may be due to insects or
to some fertilizer affecting the roots

The Market.

Business is moving along in a quiet
way. There is nothing special trans-
piring, but it is the constant business
that gets results. There is plenty of
stock for everybody. The dark, cloudy
weather for the last few weeks has af-
fected the roses in several ways; Maids,
especially, are showing these effects.
Mums are of better quality each day,
with a good variety of color. For min-
iature and pompon varieties there has
been an unusual demand; in fact, the
demand exceeds the supply. Lilies are
practically out of the market. Locally
grown violets are scarce; the California
product is useful for emergency cases.
Valley and orchids are almost out of
the market, though there is a brisk de-
mand. Ferns and palms also move well
as the season advances. Lorraine be-
gonias find ready sales, being the best
available blooming plants.

Various Notes.

Everything is in readiness for the
flower show November 15 and 16, at
the Armory. A large attendance is ex-
pected. Flowers will be sold for the
benefit of the Fruit and Flower Mis-
sion, and a percentage of the other re-
ceipts will also be given to this chari-
table organization. E. E. C.

The Market.

With the one exception of white out-
door carnations, all stock is plentiful
at time of writing and by the time
these notes appear the carnations may
also be in the running again. Boses,
both outdoor and indoor, are excel-
lent, Winnie Davis being in magnifi-
cent shape, also the Cochets. Beauty
is more plentiful and good. My Mary-
land is up to its regular form and the
Killarneys are improving right along.
There are still large quantities of mums
arriving, Jeanne Nonin, the well known
white, being magnificent. Sweet sul-
tan is fine, the varieties being clean
in color and of good substance, ^^t?
cactus dahlias continue fine for window
and store display, while the pretty little
Cecil Brunner roses are quite indispen-
sable. Violets are better than a week
or two ago, but they cut little figure in
the market. Japanese growers now
have this product practically to them-
selves and are peddling them around to
all the stores, wholesale and retail. Val-
ley runs about even with the demand,
excepting when a number of weddings
occur. Then Cecil Brunner roses, or-
chids or other small flowers have often
to be substituted. Orchids continue
to arrive in good condition from local
men and the northern stock' is also
better than formerly. Among the
smt^l flowers used, Marguerite Mrs. F.
Sander is again to the fore. Large
quantities of artificially colored stock
are being used, the red ruscus being one
of the most attractive. Smilax arrives
in considerable quantities, but a good

ARE YOU SATISFIED?

Any florist on the Pacific coast not
satisfied to do a local retail business
can build up a prosperous wholesale
trade by using space in The Eeview to
let the buyers know where stock is to
be found. This way:

We have found advertising in Tlie
Beview to be very satisfactory. We
have had orders from all parts of the
United States, as well as from the Pa-
cific coast, showing that your valued
paper has a very wide circulation. At
any time we have any special advertis-
ing to do we certainly shall send it to
The Review.— Hogan & Eooyman,
Oakland, Gal., October 3, 1912.

deal of it is spotted from sunburn.
Plumosus and Sprengeri are both plenti-
ful and good and there is a brisk de-
mand for huckleberry. Brake fern is
scarce at times and the quality is noth-
ing extra.

Various Notes.

The oflBeers of the Los Angeles Coun-
ty Horticultural Society evidently
thought more of the election, Novem-
ber 5, than of the monthly meeting, for
a number of members, assembled out-
side Kruckeberg's hall, got tired of
waiting for the oncers to turn up and

at last gave it up and departed for
home. Such an occurrence certainly is
bad for the society. At least the mem-
bers should have been advised of the
fact that no meeting was to be held and
this would have prevented several of
them coming from long distances only
to find ^ locked door with a number of
their associates outside it.

The Los Angeles Evergreen and Cut
Flower Supply Market is getting settled
in the new quarters on Fourth street.
Tony Tassano, the energetic manager,
is delighted with the business done so
far this season. The firm supplied the
decorations at Fiesta park for the culi-
nary show, redwood and palm leaves
being used. The Eoserie Flower Store
had the contract for the work.

C. E. Houdyshel, of Pomona, has
some attractive hybrids of German and
other irises, the result of his own
crosses. He is also working on hymeno-
callis, amaryllis and other lilaceous sub-
jects and has achieved some interest-
ing results already.

Inquiries of the H. N. Gage Co. seem
to foreshadow a good season's business.
When out-of-town retailers begin to
send in Christmas orders the first week
in November it looks like good busi-
ness. The arrival of large importations
of colored and natural immortelles kept
everyone busy here this week.

E. Fenick, of Long Beach, who is a
frequent buyer in this city, reports
trade good.

The Market.

We have been treated to a few show-
ers during the last few days and every-
thing has freshened up considerably in
consequence. Business is fair, but not
as lively as it might be at this time.
The prospects are good, however, for
plenty of trade in the near future. Vio-
lets are in heavy supply, in consequence
of the weather, and have improved in
quality greatly; they cost the retailers
60 cents per dozen bunches. Inside
roses and carnations are not moving as
well as they might, but this is on ac-
count of the heavy supplies of mums
that are being brought to town daily.
Of these there has been an oversupply
for the last two weeks, though at pres-
ent, owing to the big football match on
Saturday next, they are being held
somewhat higher than they were. Val-
ley and orchids are in good quantity,
without any excess being noted. Some
late blooming longiflorums are seen and
they move well. Other kinds of stock
are about as usual.

Various Notes.

Geo. C. Koeding, of the Fancher Creek
Nurseries, at Fresno, is in town for a
few days.

The Tri-City Floral Co., recently lo-
cated in the Pantages theater building,
Oakland, has retired from the retail
business.

The Alameda County Floral Society
has been organized, with J. M. Carroll,
of Dimond avenue, Fruitvale, Cal., as
secretary.

Podesta & Baldocchi are receiving
some extra fine clusters of phalsenopsis
from J. A. Carbone, of West Berkeley.

The department stores are handling
some bulbs, as usual, this year. They
are selling them at a much closer
margin than the dealers find it neces-
sary to do, however, and certainly are
content to make an infinitesimal profit.

E. H. Rust, the well known dealer of
Pasadena, Cal., is in town.

tains a report of the death of J. F, C.

LOOMIS AND VICINITY.

The season has been favorable for
outdoor blooms and they still are plenti-
ful.

The cuttings season has started in
earnest and all the florists in this vi-
cinity are busy. Plants never looked
better and the cuttings are large and
full.

Bassett's Floral Gardens are starting
an addition to their houses.

Loomis Carnation Co. has for some
time been experimenting with Harrisii
and longiflorum and the Messrs. Roddan
think they will be able to produce bulbs
that will be as good as, if not better
than, the foreign bulbs; at least they
are getting some fine outdoor blooms.

The Market.

The weather of the last week has
not improved matters in the flower
business, but trade has been brisk,
nevertheless, and there are fewer com-
plaints heard in all the stores. Stock
of most flowers is fairly plentiful. Car-
nations are not overalaundant, though
good supplies are coming in. They are
mostly cleaned up every day and a
good many are shipped to outside
points. The outlook for the carnation
market is certainly better than it was
a year ago. Chrysanthemums continue
plentiful and of good quality and all
varieties meet with a ready sale. Out-
door flowers are over, as the rains of
the last week effectually squelched any
that were blooming. Violets are plenti-
ful and the street venders must have
had all they wanted during the last few
days. Pot plants are selling well, with
some good Lorraines and Glory of Cin-
cinnati on sale. Greens are scarce and
in heavy demand.

Various Notes.

The Queen City Floral Co., of which
John Holze is managing director, has
just completed the erection of a store
and dwelling house at the premises on
East Union street. The new buildings
add quite a fine finish to this plant.
The store, a glass structure, 20x36, is
nicely fitted up and is heated by an
independent boiler in the basement. A
lot of money has been laid out at this
establishment in the last year, but the
company has the satisfaction of know-
ing that the place is now thoroughly
up-to-date. The stock is all looking
first-class, the cyclamens and primulas
being especially noteworthy, and every-
thing is in condition for a large busi-

Miss Bessie Burns, of the Burns Floral
Co., returned to Seattle November 2,
after a month's vacation spent in
Spokane, and she looks as if the change
had been good for her. During her ab-
sence the firm has been busy enlarging
the retail department and making im-
provements in the store which add
greatly to its appearance.

John Holze has accepted an invitation
to act as one of the judges at Port-
land's fall flower show.

Between business and politics, the
managers of the Seattle Pottery have
had their hands full lately. Their pots
seem to be filling the bill, judging from
the large numbers sold recently.

The Dutch bulb growers already are
here, some of them calling on the trade
last week.

J. J. Bonnell reports the opening of
fall trade in the nursery business as
much better than last year. He has
bad some extensive orders. His large

stock of ornamentals is looking fine.
He has about 10,000 laurels and finds
the sale for them constantly increas-
ing. His new grounds at Kirkland are
proving satisfactory and he is growing
large quantities of young shrubbery and
general nursery stock there, finding it
more profitable than European importa-
tions. He says the new restrictions on
importing stock do not help the nursery-
men in any way.

AN EFFICIENT ASSISTANT.

It always is a pleasure to know that
one's efforts are appreciated:

In renewing my subscription to The Review I
can say that It is an asset to everyone In the busi-
ness and that I would not like to miss a single
copy, although at times I can hardly get a chance
to glance over more than the classified ads. I have
closed some contracts that will enable me to
offer the trade some values that will be appre-
clatt'd In the line of Imported stock, and The
Review will be my assistant on the sales force.
I do not mind saying that from the standpoint of
an experienced advertiser The Review Is a better
medium for producing results than any paper
known to me. — L. Rucker, Galveston, Tex., Octo-
ber 28, 1912.

NURSERY NEWS.

AlCEBICAK ASSOCIATION OF NXmSERYlCEN.

Offlcenr for 1912-191S: Pres., Thomas B.
Ifeeban, Dresher, Pa.; Vlce-Pres., J. B. PllkinK-
ton, Portland, Ore.; Sec'y, John Hall, Rochester,
N. Y.; Treaa., C. l>. Yates, Rochester, N. Y.
Thirty-eighth anonal meeting, Portland, Ore.,
7nne, 1818.

H. A. Alspagh, superintendent of
parks at Sacramento, Cal., has placed
before the park board a plan for the
establishment of a municipal nursery.

Ray Preston, a nurserjTnan residing
near Kendall, N. Y., accidentally shot
and killed his 8-year-old son recently,
while cleaning a gun, which he thought
was unloaded.

The Gardner Nursery Co., of Osage,
la., has completed the erection of an ad-
dition to its buildings and will use the
new space largely for the housing of
everbearing strawberries.

One of the most important recent land
projects is that of the Gibraltar Invest-
ment & Home Building Co., of Los
Angeles, Cal., which has bought four
tracts, totaling 1,897 acres, adjoining
the town of Bloomington. This tract is
being cut up into five, ten and twenty-
acre orchards and planted to trees
grown in the company's nurseries.

"Judging from the number of im-
porters who are coming to the Depart-
ment of Agriculture," says a Washing-
ton dispatch, "the plant quarantine law
has begun to awaken interest. The
board having charge of the enforcement
of the law is meeting practically every
day and it is said that frequently their
deliberations are interfered with by
some representative of an importer, pre-
senting before it some individual case.
In many instances these protests are
carried directly to Secretary "Wilson, but
in no instance will the department
divulge the nature of the interviews."

This week's obituary column contains
a report of the death of two pioneer
California nurserymen: J. F. C. Lude-
mann, of San Francisco, and Henry
Gresens, of Alameda.

The San Benito Nursery has been in-
corporated, with its principal place of
business at Hollister, Cal. There are ten
incorporators and directors. The capital
stock of the company is $10,000, consist-
ing of 100 shares at $100 a share. Of
this stock $7,500 worth has already been
taken by the incorporators in blocks of
seven and one-half shares each. The en-
terprise will be in charge of the Kennedy
brothers, who are practical nurserymen
with years of experience.

THE NEW ENGLAND QUAEANTINE.

A partial quarantine was ordered
November 7 against the interstate
movement of Christmas trees and other
stock in New England by the Horti-
cultural Board in the Department of
Agriculture. The quarantine is to take
effect November 25. Within particular
areas in Maine, New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts and Bhode Island an absolute
quarantine is declared on account of
the gypsy moth, and out of these areas
no one is to be permitted to move conif-
erous trees, such as spruce, fir, hemlock,
pine, juniper and arbor-vitee (known as
Christmas trees), and decorative plants,
such as holly and laurel.

When a certificate of inspection by
federal authorities is shown, interstate
shipments will be permitted from the
quarantined areas of forest plant prod-
ucts, including logs, tan bark, posts,
poles, railroad ties, cordwood and lum-
ber and field-grown florists' stock, such
as trees, shrubs, vines, cuttings and
other plants, excepting buds, fruit pits,
seeds of fruit and ornamental trees and
shrubs, field, vegetable and flower
seeds, bedding plants and other herba-
ceous plants and roots.

ticut and Bhode Island, on account of
the brown-tail moth, are restricted from
sending into interstate commerce decid-
uous trees or shrubs, including all de-
ciduous field-grown florists' stock,
vines, cuttings, grafts and scions, un-
less inspected by federal inspectors and
pronounced free from brown-tail moth.
A set of general regulations to pre-
vail in New England territory was like-
wise promulgated by the board. These
regulations require that every car, box,
bale or other container must be plainly
marked with addresses and bear proper
certificates of inspection. Carload or
bulk shipments are forbidden unless ac-
companied by a certificate which is to
be furnished only by the Department
of Agriculture, and no shipment will be
permitted in interstate trade unless it
bears one of these certificates of inspec-
tion. Persons desiring to make ship-
ments are required to make application
for inspection of the shipments, which
inspection and certification will be fur-
nished without payment of fees.

OATALPA BUNGEI.

Will you kindly tell me the trouble
with our Catalpa Bungeit They are
planted in rows and they seem to do
well, but this season something is work-
ing on a couple of trees. The leaves
turn yellow and dry up. Nothing can
be seen outside, no trace of insect of
any kind. The other trees in the same
row are fine and are not affected. There
must be something in the ground that
does damage to the roots. What can
I do to overcome this disease or insect,
which must be destroyed! The trees
are about six or seven years of age and
have made considerable growth.

N. T.

The cause of the catalpa trees los-
ing their foliage may not be due to
any disease or insect attack at all, but
rather to some substance in the soil
which is not to their liking. Perhaps
the soil is poor there and they do not
get sufficient plant food. Are there
stones or a gravelly substance where
loam should be? If this is so, give the
plants better soil, and water, if neces-
sary. If worms or grubs are really at-

aff^ in a Drkel'ffrkn to quote prices on specimen Evergreens
ttl C III a fuai lIUll ti^t ^iii be decidedly attractive to any-
one who is BUYING TO SELL AQAIN. If you are in the market for anything
from Norway Spruce to the finer varieties of Evergreens, send in your lists and we
will give you a figure that will make you money.

NEW SCARLET
CARNATION

The Herald

At the St. Paul Show, November H, 1912, First in its color,

defeating all reds, and sweepstakes for Best

New Carnation in the Show.

We ask you to kindly take into consideration the many strong points of this new Scarlet
Carnation which we offer for January, 1913, delivery. Three strong, perfect points of The
Herald: Large, 3%-inch perfectly formed flowers on long, strong stems. Perfect calyx; never
bursts. Free and continuous bloomer, giving a heavy, continuous crop of perfect flowers' the en-
tire season. No Waiting until the end of the season to get flowers with long stems, but have
plenty of them all the time. The plants are strong and vigorous, free from disease, easy to propa-
gate. Cuttings struck in March make large plants for benching in July. Habit somewhat on the
order of Enchantress, more vigorous and productive.

Tlie Heraid is one of our own originations. Have grown it the past four years, and have
not only convinced ourselves of its sterling worth, but have booked orders the past two years
from conservative carnation growers, who have watched the variety and wanted their order placed
for early delivery no matter when disseminated.

Stocli will be ready January 1, 1913*

PBOPAGATION OF BEBBEBIS.

Please state in The Eeview how and
when to start berberis. O. P. M. C.

Berberis can be propagated in sev-
eral ways — from seed, green cuttings,
mature cuttings, layers and division of
the roots. The best method, however,
is from seed, which can be sown either
as soon as ripe, or stratified over winter
in sand and sown in spring. The ma-
jority of berberis come true from seed,
but if it is desired to propagate from
cuttings, take them early in August,
either in a close frame or greenhouse.

HYDRANGEA FOLIAGE MILDEWED.

What makes ray hydrangeas mildew
and what shall I do for them! C. G.

Give the plants the fullest sunshine
and keep them cool. Never mind if the
temperature goes a little below freez-
ing. Keep the plants comparatively
dry at the root and do not spray over-
head at all and the mildewing should
disappear. You have probably been
keeping them too dark and damp.

planted early enough to give them Ume
to make some growth. W. E.

Spanish iris may be safely planted
until just before the ground freezes
up solid. It is not necessary for them
to make any growth before cold
weather sets in, although even when
they appear above ground before win-
ter the most severe frost does not seem
to harm them. They have stood 20 to
25 degrees below zero uninjured. They
should be planted oA ground which is
weU drained, or the bulbs are liable to

The Frank P. Stout Floral Co. is
erecting a range of three houses,
amounting to about 6,000 square feet
of glass. Owing to the late start, no
attempt will be made to grow cut flow-
ers this season, with the exception of
bulbous stock. The work of building
is being rushed and the range will be
planted to lettuce as soon as completed.
Next season the new concern will grow
carnations and make a specialty of the
wholesale plant and cuttings business.
If business comes up to expectations,
the size of the range will be doubled
the coming summer.

Mrs. J. A. Fraser, of the Eogers
greenhouses, was chosen as judge for
the Eureka Springs flower show last
week, and her work gave general satis-
faction. Mrs. Fraser has two houses of
chrysanthemums, and her carnations,
which are just coming into crop, are
looking especially fine. She is working
up a nice business here and expects to
increase her area of glass soon.

Cromwell, Conn. — It is reported that
Salvatore Barone, formerly employed at
the greenhouses' of A. N. Pierson, Inc.,
was arrested recently at Quincy, Mass.,
on the charge of having assaulted An-
ton Olsen, the foreman under whom he
was working. The accused man had
been missing since the assault, which
took place last July. Becoming angry
over some question about his pay, he
had attacked Mr. Olsen, it is said, with
an iron bar. Mr. Olsen V skull was
fractured and the injury was at first
believed to be fatal, but he is now
recovering.

Club Meeting.

"Guests of the Ferncliff Floral Co.,
banquet. Commercial Club, Monday,
November 11, 1912." That was the
announcement which called together the
members of the Florists' Club for its
regular monthly meeting.

C. Pearl Bethard and A. S. Finfrock
did the honors as hosts. A splendid
supper was served. After coffee had
been quaffed and cigars lighted, the
gathering assumed the form of a re-
installation of officers, the staff for the
past year having been reelected at the
October meeting. President-elect Chris-
tian Binning appointed chairmen of
standing committees for the ensuing
year as follows: Program, Chas. C.
Leedle; entertainment, Chas. W.
Schmidt; membership, Geo. H. Mellen;
grievance, Opha Jackson; publicity,
Geo. D. Leedle, Arthur J. Todd and
Geo. H. Mellen.

Arthur J. Todd presented a resolu-
tion referring to the planting of the
yards of all public schools by the mem-
bers of the club, free of charge. The
resolution was carried after a discus-
sion as to the recent awarding of a
$694 contract for what th'e club mem-
bers consider about a $200 job of land-
scape planting and shrubery.

After the business had been disposed
of, a general flow of after-dinner ora-
tory was enjoyed, participated in by
Leman Bradford, Chas. C. Leedle, Chas.
W. Schmidt, B. C. Blake, Arthur C.
Leedle, Geo. H. Mellen, Arthur J. Todd,
Albert Schaefer, Geo. D. Leedle, C.
Pearl Bethard and W. H. Brown. J. B.
Malone, as a guest of the club, spoke
briefly, eulogizing the mission of flowers
and florists in a beautiful manner, which
President Binning commented upon as
expressing thoughts which he had often
felt but had been unable to formulate
into language.

As a result of an election wager made
between Leman Bradford and Arthur J.

The Florists' Review

103

Florists Look! Prosperity! Prosperity! Prosperity!

PREPARE FOR THANKSGIVING AND THE HOLIDAYS

Election is now over, the country is settled, Godfrey Aschmann elected with a big majority.
At last prosperity has arrived. Fill and stock up your houses now with the best for the
Holidays; turn your pennies into dollars.

When they counted the vote there could be no mistake,
Godfrey Aschmann was at head of the poll.

The Bull Moose was nowhere and Debs was a fake,
While Taft was left In a hole.

WHEN THE VOTE WAS COUNTED.

Aschmann showed us his charms, then back to their farms

His competitors scurried In haste.
His Araucarias, Ferns, Azaleas and Palms

Appealed to all who bad taste.

Not one of lot ever knew how to pot
Up a plant in the way it should srrow.

The contest was hot. Who said it was not?
No one else had a ghost of a show.

Said the Florists all around, "None better are found.
We're for Aschmann down to our last cent."

With volumes of sound to his house they're bound
To stock up with the best, their intent.

And they singr. as they so, "Our old friend Is not alow.
He's on top of the heap, all his rivals below."

49- Look and soo what Mr. Frod J. MIcholl, of tho so woll-known
firm, Honry F. MIcholl Co., of Phlladolphia, has to say about
our plant, Sopt. 14, 1912 :

"I have Just visited the ^rreenhouses of Oodfrey Aschmann, and must say
tha tit was Indeed a great surprise to me. I have never seen a better lot
of Araucarias, Ferns of all sizes and varieties and prices. Rubbers,
Palms, Azaleas and all other seasonable plants ready for shipment,
as are at present at Mr. Godfrey Aschmann's."

"Saskatchewan Greenhoufes, E. J. Coster. Prop., Prince Albert, Sask..
Can., Oct. 29, 1912. Godfrey Aschmann. Esq., Philadelphia, Pa. Dear sir:
Your shipment of $33.60 worth of ferns Oct. 23rd arrived in flrst-class
shape, and I beg to state that I never bought as good ferns at the price
in my Ufe, and I have been buying them for over sixteen years. Now I
am coming back to you for some more stuff, if you treat me as well as
you have done this last time. Yours truly, E. J. Coster."

others (ttie Christmas varieties also can be kept
for Easter very easily), 50c, 60c, 75c, $1.00,
$1.25, $1.80 to $2.00.

HINTS TO AZALEA BUYERS. Our azaleas
are invoiced at the Philadelphia custom house,
10x12, 12x14, 14x16, 16x18, 18x20, 20x22. But
look, here is the critical point. If we should
sell azaleas by measurement, and then ship them
to buyers under measurement given to the custom
house, most of the parties would not accept
them. Azaleas are not grown in a mould, all
differ in size under the same measurement. One
party expects a big bunch for his money, another
is satl8fie<l with a medium size; some parties
take their measurements differently from others
and measure 12 In. head for 8 or 10 in. A
medium size azalea, full of buds, is certainly
worth as much as a large unshapely one with only
a few buds. Therefore we use our own Judgment
in selling azaleas; we price them according to
their appearance. We do justice to all by giving
them good value for their money without giving
■them the measurements. For example, you send
us .^Oc. 60c. 75c. $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 or more, .vou
shall get the full value for your money. But
look. Brother, the importing of azaleas is no more
profitable, fully 50 to 60% Is paid on their arrival
for duty, freight, hauling (packing charges, $2.00
to $2.50 for every 100 azaleas), duty on packing,
etc., our free packing here, and our employees
want their money on Saturday; therefore the
running of our business costs money. So, kindly
excuse us if we ask you to send check with the
order as we absolutely dare not run any chances
with imported goods like azaleas, on which there
is so little profit. Only old customers of long
standing are excused. The rule applies to both
dormant and blooming azaleas.

TOLEDO, O.

The Market.

Business during the last week has
been exceptionally good, with a great
deal of funeral work, besides many
orders for debutante parties. The cut
flowers are excellent in quality, and a
great deal of stock is coming, although
it has not gone begging for a buyer.
Chrysanthemums are exceptionally good
and are bringing good prices. Carna-
tions have been scarce, as most of the
large growers are off crop. Any of the
blooms that reach the market bring
good prices and find ready sale. The
weather has been unusually warm for
this time of the year; in fact, a little
too warm for carnations, making them
a little soft. Still it is true that busi-
ness, on the whole, has been excellent,
and it has picked up wonderfully since
the garden flowers have gone. There
was a good demand for flowers for All
Saints' day, the weather being quite
favorable.

Various Notes.

Mr. Magee, of the Scottwood Green-
houses, has had several large decora-
tions for debutante parties, which have
been held in the beautiful ball room of
the Secor hotel. One of the largest
parties of the season was given Novem-
ber 8, for Miss Backus. In the decora-
tions for this affair, Mr. Magee used
large quantities of Bonnaffon chrys-
anthemums. He reports business good
this season, and he has several large
weddings booked for this month. His
greenhouses are situated in the best
residence district of the city and he
receives a large percentage of the trade
in that locality.

Mr. Kaminski, of Lagrange street,
has some fine chrysanthemums this year,
for which he finds ready sale. He re-
ports having ten weddings for the first
of the week.

Emil Kuhnke has been sending in
some excellent pompons and he also has
a nice stock of Boston and Whitmani
ferns.

The marriage of Miss Mary Helmar
and Edward Repp took place at the
home of the bride, in West Toledo, No-
vember 6. The members of the trade
extend their congratulations and best
wishes.

Mr. Ziems has the sympathy of the
trade in the loss of his wife 's mother,
who was burned so terribly that she
died from the shock. H. F. P.

We are growing all our Kentias above 6-inch size in neat Cadar Tuba, made especially for us, with electric wire hAops, painted Kr««n.

These tubs cost several times the price of pots, but we sell the plants at the same price as though grown in pots. The buyer has the
advantage of receiving his plants without breakage of pots and in handsome tubs in which they have become well established and in which
they will continue to do better than in pots.

Greenhoose Heating.

NATUSAL OAS.

The numerous greenhouse men, espe-
cially in the southwest and in Ohio
and Indiana, who rely on natural gas
for fuel, will be interested in a report
just issued by the U. S. Geological
Survey, which says in part:

"Additional investments have been
suf&cient to continue the normal in-
crease in quantity of natural gas pro-
duced and its total value. Thus, in
1910, the quantity of gas usefully pro-
duced in the United States was 509,-
155,909,000 cubic feet, valued in first
hands at $70,756,158. In 1911 the quan-
tity was practically the same, 508,353,-
241,000 cubic feet, but its value in-
creased to $74,127,534, a gain of 4.76
per cent.

"The increase in demand for natural
gas from consumers of all kinds makes
the supply of gas a matter of growing
seriousness. Beyond question the nat-
ural gas that can be furnished in many
of the fields of the United States is
simply a function of the capital in-
vested in natural gas lines, and espe-
cially in power plants for pumping the
gas. Unfortunately, the safety of such
large investments decreases in propor-
tion as the increased demand becomes
indicative of a failing supply. In Ohio
and Indiana the yield has decreased so
rapidly as to stop the investment of the
further capital necessary to stimulate
production. It is evident, in those
states, that no reasonable amount of

investment could adequately offset the
decline.

"One important feature of the pro-
ductive conditions of natural gas dur-
ing 1911 was the excessive demand for

it in Kansas City. This caused the
Board of Public Utilities to create a
commission headed by Erasmus Ha-
worth, state geologist of Kansas, to

the supply of gas to Kansas City. Ha-
worth expresses the view in his report
that a supply of natural gas sufficient
for the needs of the city is not possible
for longer than three or four years. It
is assumed that this opinion is based
on the productive capacity of the
known fields and those which, in his
judgment, are likely to be discovered.
This agitation of the question of a nat-
ural gas supply for domestic consump-
tion and for manufacturing in eastern
Kansas makes this region the center of
study of the problems of investment in
gas production and of the prevention
of waste of this fuel."

about thirty-five or forty feet above

able to connect to this tank through
our water system as an expansion tank,

water in this tank freezes over, but
the pipes leading to it are always open.
Would putting this much pressure on
the boiler be equal to the use of a
mercury generator, such as is often put

we could place it only a few feet

If the pipes leading to the tank are
positively frostproof, the tank can be
used to good advantage as the expan-
sion tank for the heating system, pro-
Tided no more than two inches of ice

forms in the tank. This would furnish
a pressure of probably fifteen pounds
on the coils and would make it possible
to raise the temperature of the water
quite a number of degrees, thus improv-
ing the circulation. While the effect
would be similar to that secured by
using a mercury generator, it would be
less marked.

tell me what is the reason? My loca-
tion is western Missouri. B. P. M.

As neither the temperature desired
in the large house nor the area of the
surface of the grate is stated, a posi-
tive answer as to the capacity of the
boiler to heat the houses cannot be
given. If the desired temperature for
the house 23x75 is not higher than 60
degrees, and if the grate has a diameter
of twenty-four or twenty-five inches,
the heater should answer for the two
houses. Nothing is said regarding the
height of the boiler as compared with'
that of the coils, but it is possible that
the trouble is caused by the coils being
lower than thfe top of the heater.

To heat the wide house to 60 degrees,
three 2y2-inch flow pipes and twelve
2-inch returns should be used. If li^-
inch returns are to be used, fourteen
will be needed. For 50 degrees, only
eight 2-inch or ten IVa-inch returns
will be required. If the returns are
not much below the top of the boiler,
and if one flow is carried on each plate
and the other under the ridge, a good
circulation can be secured. For the house
11x75 a temperature of 40 degrees can
be obtained by using one 2%.inch flow
and either four 2-inch or five li^-inch
returns.

In case the present flow pipes are to
be used, it will probably be advisable
to place one on each wall of the 23-foot
house and to suspend one under the
ridge in the other house.

THE COAL MARKET.

While those who are dealing with
contracts made earlier in the season
may find the situation a little easier,

r-n i^^i* ^.^° ^^ ^o^°g belated buying
still finds himself rather up against it
Cars are a little more plentiful, but not
enough so to permit the mines to pro-
duce more coal than is needed for ship-
ment on contracts. Extremely small
quantities of free coal are coming for-
ward. This is especially true of Poca-
hontas and the other smokeless coals
so popular for greenhouse use. Large
concerns those producing great quanti-
ties of these coals and supplying laree
growers, find themselves so behind on
their deliveries that they have practi-
cally no coal to offer for immediate
shipment. It may take several weeks
to catch up. Unfortunately, the method
by which coal is mined and handled
does not permit accumulation of a large
supply at the mines. It can come out
of the ground only go fast as ears are
placed to receive it, so that production
has been curtailed by the car shortage,
and still IB being held down. Also, as
soon as real winter sets in the move-
ment of cars will become slower and
there is little prospect of the mines
running full capacity at any time this
season.

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

Business showed a slight increase last
week, accelerated by the influx of
chrysanthemums, which almost flooded
the local market. Big blooms main-
tained a. price of from 25 to 50 cents
each, while smaller ones sold down as
low as 50 cents a dozen. Roses were
of good quality and quantity, as were
carnations. Weddings furnished much
work, while funerals, of which there

What We Say:

Wilks Boilers are ideal for the man who
owns a small greenhouse, who does his
own fixing and needs a boiler that can
be relied on at all times.

Wllks Boilers are self -feeding. Fill the
magazine with fuel in the evening and
an even, continuous fire will be main-
tained until morning without any atten-
tion. . , -

Wilks Boilers will heat as much as 3,000
square feet of glass to 65 degrees in
zero weather. They are made of the
best quality of steel, strongly riveted
and calked, with no cast-iron sections

Vo crack.

their economy, and gives a plan for

the zero weather, to give it a good test
and it proved all you claim for it. I
did not lose a minute's sleep this Win-
ter so far. I fill up the magazine about
9 o'clock in the evening and never look
after it till 5 or 6 o'clock next morning
and always find the fire in good shape.

TRAVIS GREENHOUSE ROCKER GRATES

r. Do you understand the advantages Kocker grates have over
stetionary grates? Practical Rocker grates will open all air
spaces at will, giving complete combustion of gases. Cinders
and ashes collect soon after Hres are started and they should be
removed. Just as you can check your Are by closing the damper,
so you can check it by allowing the grate openings to become
flUed with cinders and ashes. Do you know how easy it is to
hold steam and what a small amount of coal is required the first
hour after cleaning your grates? You can Are all night on our grates and the effect will be nearly the same throughout the night. Practically all new
furnaces are now equipped with rocker srates. They have been made for 40 years, but many are using stationary grates becauce they have tried some
make of rocker grate and been disappointed. Our grates make friends and wheie once used, others follow. Greenhouse operators over the entire country
are now using our grates and great numbers have been installed in Illinois, to which state we have given special attention.

The Design of your Rocker Orates is just as important as that of your boiler or any other attachments you may have. Some Rocker Orates are
better than others and the difference in service will surprise you. We fit any size or style of furnace ^ ithout making any changes. I»rompt thipments.

For prices, give size of furnace.

The Florists' Review

November 14, 1912.

MILWAUKEE, WIS.

The Market.

Between weddings, coming-out par-
ties and funeral work, business last
week kept pace with the ever-increasing
supply of mums, roses, carnations, etc.
The daily receipts in most lines have
increased considerably with the mild
weather which followed the first killing
frost, November 1. Everything seems
to sell of late. Business for the new
season has been fine so far, and we
trust will continue so.

Various Notes.

One of the most discussed topics of
late has been the St. Paul flower show.
N. Zweifel, C. C. PoUworth Co. and
Holton & Hunkel Co. exhibited some
choice stock there and, from reports,
were well rewarded. Holton & Hunkel
Co. made a fine rose showing, while
the Pollworth Co. came in first on
mums. No reports have as yet been
received as to the carnations exhibited
by N. Zweifel.

Fred Holton went to St. Paul No-
vember 8, to remain through the show.

Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Pollworth left
St. Paul Sunday night, November 10, to
spend the week at Powell, Wis., on
their annual hunting trip.

W. Currie, of the Currie Bros. Co.,
and J. Livingston, gardener at the
Vogel estate, attended the flower show
at Lake Geneva, Wis., November 8
and 9, and say that it was fine.

At the store of the Edlefsen-Leidiger
Co. a busy week is reported, and in
the history of that firm they never ex-
perienced better business and collec-
tions so near presidental election time.

Mr. Farquhar, president-elect of the
S. A. F., spent Thursday, November 7,
in our city as guest of Wm. Currie.
After visiting places of interest he ex-
pressed himself as highly pleased with
the Cream City.

Roy Currie attended the footbalJ
game at Madison, Wis., last week.

Loeflaer & Behnke, of Watertowu,
Wis., are shipping some fine double
violets to Holton & Hunkel Co.

Louis Holly, of late with the Thomp-
son Carnation Co., Joliet, HI., is the
new foreman in charge of the N. Zwei
fel carnation range.

While a good manj^ growers discarded
Victory for Beacon carnations, one
would not think the former a has-been
at the houses of the Heitman-Oestrei-
cher Co. With good, long stems and
good substance, Victory is still in the
race.

Visitors for the week: Peter Ober
tin, Kenosha; J. H. Criddle, Stoughtoii.
and J. J. Kariiis, representing Henrv A.
Dreer, Philadelphia. • E. 0.

The Advance Line

of ventilating apparatus and greenhouse fixtures
needs no introduction in the world of modem,
up-to-date greenhouse construction. The man who
demands the best of everything specifies Advance
Ventilating Machinery; the florist who appreciates
the saving of time and money installs the Ad-
vance to operate his sash.

Undoubtedly the Advance Line is the simplest,
must up-to-date and altogether satisfactory on the
market.

Send for our new catalogue, which will be ready
for distribution about Nov. 15.

marked by all the trade visitors. It proved that the Poehlmann Bros. Co. not
only has held the pre-eminent position won at the previous exhibitions, but has
this season surpassed itself in the quality of the stock and beaten
its own best record. We can supply the exhibition grade of stock to all who
order it, and are cutting heavily of all lengths of stem for Thanksgiving.

THE AUTUMN

FLOWER SHOWS

CLEVEIiAin).

As things have turned out, the flower
show at Cleveland November 14 to 17
was probably the most successful of
the year. It was given under the aus-
pices of the Ohio Horticultural Society,
a body of flower lovers, with the assist-
ance of the Cleveland florists. It was
the first show at Cleveland in sixteen
years. While much effort had been ex-
pended on the arrangements, the results
exceeded expectations. The show
brought out a larger quantity of ma-
terial than had been expected, all of
excellent quality, and the attendance
was so large that, instead of closing
Saturday night, as had been intended,
the show was opened Sunday afternoon
for four hours, and there was a total
attendance of 38,000.

The chrysanthemums were staged on
the opening day, November 14, with the
second day given specially to carna-
tions, and the third day to roses. The
chrysanthemums were excellent, repre-
senting the best stock of the leading
growers of the middle west and some
of the extreme east. C. H. Totty
brought, among his numerous exhibits,
six blooms of Queen Mary, a large re-
flexed white, these same six blooms
having been exhibited in London, Eng-
land, October 29, by W. Wells & Co.,
who afterward shipped them to Mr.
Totty. They arrived in New York in
excellent condition, and, being brought
to Cleveland, stood the four days on
exhibition, showing only a little bruis-
ing around the edge of the flowers.
Both in carnations and roses the com-
petition was extremely keen and the
prizes were well distributed.

As has been noted at other exhibi-
tions given by the trade, no matter
how much attention was attracted by
the growers' exhibits, the retailers' dis-
plays proved the center of attraction.
It all goes to show that fine flowers are
many times more attractive to the pub-
lic when finely arranged. The Cleve-
land retail florists appreciated their
opportunity to interest the public, and
those of the trade visitors who have
attended many shows agreed that they
never have seen a retail section that
beat what was to be seen at Cleveland,
either in the number or quality of the
exhibits. In the class for tables of
chrysanthemums there were six entries.
In the class for brides' bouquets there
were eight entries. In the class for
corsage bouquets there were ten entries,
and seven handle baskets were shown.
Knoble Bros., J. M. Gasser Co., Jones-
Russell Co. and Smith & Fetters Co.
each .had display booths in which to
demonstrate their ideas of the artistic
arrangement of flowers. There were
no premiums to be awarded to these
booths, and it is well that there were
not, for it would have been a difficult
matter to h|ive decided between them.
Each boolfch was maintained with fresh
stock from day to day.

Soses.

The roses were staged on the final
day, but really constituted the most
notable showing of the exhibition. The
quality was splendid; there was not one
entry which was not worth a prize, and
there were fifty-eight vases for the
judges to consider. The sweepstakes
in the classes for twenty-five blooms
went to Double Pink Killarney, a really
notable bunch of blooms on 4-foot
stems. Totty 's Mrs. Shawyer took the
sweepstakes in the classes for fifty
blooms, and the exhibit was fine. The
showing of new roses included three.
Mrs. Charles Eussell carried off the
premier honors, but the vases of Milady
and Mrs. Shawyer shown by Pierson
and Totty also were of much interest
to the growers. The awards in the rose
classes were:

Retailers' Work.

The retailers took the keenest inter-
•eat in the classes for table decorations,
baskets and bouquets. The first day
the tables were to be decorated with
chrysanthemums and there were six
entries, Knoble Bros, securing first with
the use of yellow pompon chrysanthe-
mums, the centerpiece being made in
the shape of a tree four feet high, with
a base " three feet wide, rising to a
point ten inches high where it joined
the trunk of the tree. The decoration
was entirely in yellow. The other ex-
hibitors were the J. M. Gasseiw Co., A.
Graham & Son, Smith & Fetters Co.,
.Tones- Russell Co. and C. M. Wagner:
On the day roses were used the table

decorations were by C. M. Wagner, E,
G. Wilson, Jones-BuBsell Co., J. M.
Gasser Co., Knoble Bros., F. W. Griffin
and Smith & Fetters Co. On bride's

Smith & Fetters Co., second; Westman & Getz,

Chrysanthemum Cut Blooms.

There was splendid competition in
the department for cut blooms of
chrysanthemums, and the quality of the
I stock would be difficult to beat. In
addition to the big flowers, there was
a fine showing of singles and pompons,
and, of course, the trade was interested
in the seedlings, of which there were a
number of excellent ones. The awards
in this department were as follows:

One hundred, one variety, any color— J. M.
Gasser Co., Cleveland, first, on Golden Wedding;

The Ontario Horticultural Exhibition
was held last week in the Horticultural
building at Exhibition park and proved
the most successful affair of its kind
that has ever taken place in Canada.

The directors have been handicapped
(luring previous years through not being
able to secure a convenient building for
the show, but the civic authorities came
to their assistance this year and affairs
have been placed on a new basis; in
fact, if prognostications prove correct,
next year's show will help largely to
make up for what little setbacks have
occurred at other times, and bring about
such results as have long been hoped for
by the energetic management.

The opening days of the show were
liandicapped somewhat by disagreeable
weather; Thursday and Friday, how-
over, brought out society people in
larger numbers than ever before. This
was probably due to the newspaper ad-
vertising, which was a great improve-
ment on previous years; also to the mag-
nificent quality of the stock exhibited.

Sir Henry Pellatt has done more than
any other flower lover in "^oronto to
give admirers their money's worth in
grouped effects, and on this occasion his
grower, T. McVettie, again took first
prize for the most attractive display in
the exhibition.

A fine new refrigerating plant had
been installed in the building, and
proved the best thing possible for the
designs and orchids, roses, etc., that
showed to special advantage on this
occasion. It goes without saying that
this piece of furniture proved an in-
dispensable adjunct, and no flower show
will be complete without it.

A striking feature of the show of
chrysanthemums was a new single white
called Dorothy Duggan, originated and
shown by the Dale Estate, Brampton,
for which they won first prize in this
(lass. The biggest bloom in the show
was a Wm. Turner, twenty-two and one-
half inches in circumference, shown by
Richard Jennings, also of Brampton.
Sir Henry Pellatt took first prize for
the vase of twelve mums, any variety
or varieties, with R. Jennings taking
first prize for yellow, and the Dale
Estate carried off all the first prizes for
the remaining entries in the mum sec-
tion.

BUFFALO.

The Buffalo flower show, reported in
last week's issue of The Review, has
passed into history. It was a success
and a failure — a success from an artis-
tic point of view, a failure from a
financial one. It was acknowledged by
all who saw the splendid exhibition of
the florists' skill, and the artistically
laid out Italian garden plan of the de-
signer, George W. McClure, that the
show deserved a better financial fate.
But the florists' task of educating the
public to a higher appreciation of their
art is not completed yet.

The Buffalo parks responded finely to
the call of the local club for exhibits.
Beautiful groups of chrysanthemums
and foliage plants, artistically arranged
to harmonize with the general plan,
were exhibited by Delaware park, Hum-
boldt park and South park. Indeed, it
is safe to say that without the coopera-
tion of the park department the show
would not have been the success it was.
And this ought to be a pointer for other
cities.

Among the private exhibitors the dis
play of J. J. Albright stood unrivaled.
His head gardener, Chas. Sandiford, ex
celled himself this vear. His blooms
of Wm. Turner, Wells' Late Pink,
Broomhead, Yellow Eaton and Mary
Donnellan could not be beaten.

The display of W. ,T. Palmer & Son
formed a perfect bower of beauty.

The Florists' Review

Their vases of Chryeanthemum Merry
Jane, Wells' Late Pink, Mrs. Syme
and Papworth were marvels even to the
professional florist; and, one word more,
Col. D. Appleton can not be beaten yet,
so long as it can be grown as well as
Palmer & Son grow it. Their table
decorations were more than decorations;
they were pictures. Among their roses,
a large vase of American Beauty proves
that this fine old rose still occupies
the topmost niche. Lady Hillingdon,
Irish Fire Flame, Safrano, Bon Silene,
and the new competitor for American
Beiuty's place, Milady, were up to
the same standard of excellence.

S. A. Anderson's display was greatly
admired, and his showing of Gloire de
Lorraine begonia, of which he makes a
specialty, was the finest in the hall.

The Wm. F. Kasting Co. had a grand
display of cut flowers, chrysanthemums
and roses. Among them a vase of the
new rose, Mrs. George Shawyer, at-
tracted general attention. It seems a
glorified Bridesmaid. Their Killarney,
in several varieties, were the finished
products of skillful growers.

W. C. Stroh had a large bank of
foliage and flowering plants, tastefully
arranged and demonstrating the artis-
tic value of autumn foliage plus a good
decorator. The Wm. Scott Co. also
showed the public what fine effects can
be produced by autumn foliage, electric
light and a skillful artist to combine
them. L. II. Neubeck had an attrac-
tive group of foliage and flowering
plants and a large vase of fine Maud
Dean chrysanthemums.

The show was a revelation of beauty
and taste to thousands and was credit-
able to the skill and energy of the
Buffalo Florists' Club.

CAENATION PRINCESS DAGMAE.

Princess Dagmar is the crimson carna-
tion which secured for its originators,
M. A. Patten & Co., Tewksbury, Mass.,
the silver medal of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society at the Boston
show, November 7 to 10. Patten & Co.
describe the variety as follows: "It is
a cross between Genevieve, a large
white seedling, and an unnamed crim-
son seedling. The color is a fine deep
crimson — not too dark. Flowers large,
averaging three and one-half to four
inches, borne on strong, stiff stems,
which hold the bloom perfectly erect at
all times. The calyx seldom splits.
Plants are perfectly healthy in every
respect, a strong grower and propagates
easily. An average bloomer and one
that attracts instant attention."

CIVIL SEEVICE EXAMINATIONS.

The comment in The Review of .No-
vember 14, regarding civil service ex-
aminations, I feel will be misconstrued
and may do harm. You say, "Simply
because a man may be an excellent
craftsman without being much with the
pen, and because equally good jobs are
to be had with less effort."

Sincere efforts are being made to
put the examinations on an absolutely
fair basis, that is, fair to the applicant
and fair to the employer. The idea
should not go out that these examina-
tions require the ordinary craftsman to
be "much with the pen." The basis of
credit marks is generally divided into
three portions. First, strong credit is
given for previous experience. Second,

Carnation Princesi Dagmar, Shown at Boston, Noytmber 7 to 10.

credits are based on an oral examina-
tion which is made to cover such points
as may be properly handled in that
way. The third part of the examina-
tion is a written one. In examinations
for ordinary employees, the papers are
marked, not on the basis of their lit-
erary merit, but simply as to whether
they show whether the man knows what
he is talking about or not. Even in the
most badly spelled and poorly expressed
papers, it is easily possible to read
somewhat between the lines and to form
an opinion as to whether the man really
knows or not. In all examinations an
endeavor is made to honestly and fairly
ascertain the man's fitness and to mark
him proportionately.

Of course when it comes to an exam-
ination for head gardener, the require-
ments are different. It will be admitted
by anyone, the writer thinks, that in a
position of that kind the applicant
should be able to write intelligently and
certainly should be able to properly spell
the names of ordinary plants which he
will have to handle and to label. In
the head gardener examination, con-
siderable weight is therefore properly
given to the composition and especially
to the spelling of the written report.
Having taken part last year in the ex-
aminations for the Chicago West Parks,
and being much interested in the mod-
ern movement for better civil service,
the writer was led to look into the mat-
ter somewhat carefully. In those ex-
aminations, at least, the positions are
not difficult to get for those apparently
competent to fill them. The writer be-
lieves that a thoroughly honest effort is
being made by Mr. Heuchling, of the

West Parks, to make his examinations
efficient and fair with a sole view to
selecting the most competent men for
the positions. No attempt whatever is
made to influence the markings in indi-
vidual cases, and the final marks of the
applicants were given them just as I
should place them were they applying
for positions in my employ.

The steady demand of the public for
better things in our civil service is pro-
ducing a class of men like Mr. Heuch-
ling, who are specializing on that par-
ticular work, and using every effort to
make themselves thorough and efficient.
The movement is a good one and should
be supported by every public-spirited
person. In the old regime, as we all
know, employees were largely political
favorites and a position in a public
park was anything but a desirable one
for the good man. We are approaching
better things. The civil service job
today, as demonstrated in the West
Parks, is a good job. The employee has
shorter working hours and much better
working conditions (I speak now of the
average greenhouse employee) than he
does in a commercial place, and the
pay will probably average l3etter for
the same class of work.

We should not belittle these efforts
which are being made to better condi-
tions; but, on the other hand, where we
see a man honestly endeavoring to ob-
tain good service for the public and to
put public employees in a position
where they cannot be disturbed by pet-
ty politics, both the horticultural press
and the members of the trade should
do all in their power to help the good
work along. W. N. Eudd.

The Florists' Review

November 21, 1912.

ROSE IRISH FIRE FLAME.

A few years ago it was noticed in
London that people of taste showed a
marked preference for single roses.
Whenever obtainable they were used in
their table decorations, in their house
decorations and as gifts. To meet this
demand, the leading hybridizers abroad
devoted thought and skill to the pro-
duction of a class of single roses that
would combine grace, color and dura-
bility in the blooms. Vigor, freedom
of bloom and immunity from disease
were less difficult of attainment from
the very nature of the class.

Irish Fire Flame is the most striking
variety of this class. It won the gold
medal at the national rose show at
London, but its introduction into this
country is due to a visit of Alexander
B. Scott to the rose growing establish-
ment of Alexander Dickson & Sons, at
Newtownards, near Belfast, Ireland, in
the summer of 1910. In their trial
grounds Mr. Scott first saw Irish Fire
riame. The rose charmed him. It had
the growing qualities and its color was
uniqup. The long, pointed buds were
bright scarlet. The open flower was a
coppery salmon. The keeping qualities
of Irish Fire Flame are remarkable for
a single rose with only five petals, due
partly to the great substance of tl^fise
petals. Possessed with the idea that
such a rose would appieal to those of
his friends who had true artistic dis-
cernment, Mr. Scott imported fifty
plants of Irish Fire Flame. Today he
has 3,000 plants. The house in which
they are growing, on his place at
Sharon Hill, Pa., is a beautiful sight.
The plants are a picture of health,
producing their attractive buds in pro-
fusion. The buds of Irish Fire Flame
are in demand among the leading flo-
rists. Mr. Scott's representative, the
S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., is said to
obtain $10 a hundred for this novelty
in a market that is much lower on al-
most ' kll other varieties. It is said
Irish Fire Flame will be disseminated
next spring. Phil.

McQREDY'S NEW ROSES.

At the September exhibition of the
National Rose Society, London, Eng-
land, the new variety, Mrs. Charles E.
Pearson, received the gold medal. The
exhibit is shown in the accompanying
illustration, Mrs. Charles E. Pearson
is a hybrid tea raised by Samuel Mc-
Qredy & Son, Portadown, Ireland, who
believe it is one of the best things they
thus far have produced. They state

that it had been constantly in bloom
since June. They had only one line of
it in the nursery this season and
worked quite 5,000 stock from it,
besides cutting blooms for all the
principal exhibitions. So sanguine are
they that they believe the variety will
be the most popular bedding rose in
existence when it becomes known. The
color is a deep orange apricot, flamed
crimson. The originators assert that it
is a great improvement on the cele-
brated Lyon rose, surpassing it in ef-
fectiveness, as the color never varies.
The bloom is held rigidly upright and
is produced with a freedom rarely
equaled among hybrid teas. The origi-
nators say it is twice as free flowering
as the Lyon and that it holds its fo-
liage as in a true hybrid tea.

Concluding their letter to The Ee-
view, McGredy & Son say: "You will
no doubt get a good turn of our new
rose Colleen, on which the E. G. Hill
Co. has secured the American rights.
This is a great improvement on Killar-
ney, being a better grower, freer bloom-
ing anxl twice as double, with a greater
depth of petal, brighter and more beau-
tiful in color. There is no other rose
in cultivation that has the grandeur
of form that this rose has. The im-

pressiveness of the flower, even in old
blooms, is marvelous. It never goes
off color, and retains its lovely shape
and form in good condition longer than
any variety we are acquainted with.
It makes strong canes and holds its
blooms rigidly upright. The E. G. Hill
Co. gave it a semi-test last year and
Mr. Hill was so impressed with its
value as a forcing rose that he is giv-
ing it full test this year, and believes-
it will supersede every other variety
in your country for forcing purposes,
and as a bread and butter winner will
take the lead as a market variety. You
will no doubt get a good turn in this
rose, once it is in shape for issuing.''
From which it will be seen that these,
like other seedling raisers, have the
modesty of the violet.

THE LEADING ROSARIAN.

Alexander B. Scott takes issue with
his friend, E. Gurney Hill, on the state-
ment that the name of Pernet-Ducher
is entitled, to first place in the list of
producers of new roses of merit. While
Mr. Scott frankly admits the force of
all that Mr. Hill says in favor of the
great French hybridizer, he is confi-
dent in the belief that the name of
Dickson ranks that of his rival from
sunny France. The facts that Mr.
Scott gives in support of his claim for
the supremacy of the Irish rosarian
are formidable: Alexander Dickson &
Sons, of Newtownards, Ireland, orig-
inated the great rose Killarney. What
florist in this country does not owe
them an immense debt of gratitude for
this single achievement? They pro
duced Liberty, a grand rose that
enabled Mr. Hill to give us his superb
Richmond, the rose that was selected
to be presented to the President of the
United States by the American Eose
Society in Washington, D. C, March
14, 1907. They have produced Harry
Kirk, considered one of the best out-

New Bedding Rote Mrs. Charles E. Pearson.

NOTBUBEB 21, 1912.

The Florists' Review

li

door varieties of the day, and many,
many more. This year they won the
championship and the 100 guinea chal-
lenge cup at the national show held in
London, July 9, not to mention many
gold medals and some fifty first prizes.
They received the highest award for
the finest exhibit of autumn roses ever
made in London, at the fall show held
September 24. Can Mr. Hill's enthusi-
asm over the great new rose Sunburst
outweigh these solid facts, or has he
varieties of equal merit and honors of
equal brilliancv to pit against them?

THE OLD-FASHIONED BOUQUET.

It is the new fashions in old-fash-
ioned bouquets that occasion their pres-
ent popularity. The accompanying il-
lustration shows one of these arrange-
ments by the London Flower Shop,
Philadelphia. It is called an old-fash-
ioned bouquet, but not even the flowers
used are old-fashioned, for the most
popular flowers for this purpose are
the buds of the newer varieties of
roses. Mrs. Aaron Ward is a prime
favorite. Also, the lace holders are the
latest development of the supply deal-
ers' art. The addition of the ribbon
adds still further to the newness of the
old-fashioned bouquet.

SEASONABLE NOTES.

Striking the Market !Bight.

The orchid houses now have a goodly
display of flowers. It is perhaps re-
grettable, in some respects, that so
many varieties are in season thus
early. While chrysanthemums are so
abundant, the •demand is not so robust
as, could be wished, although for the
fall exhibitions they certainly prove
useful. In the particular case of Cat-
tleya labiata, it pays growers well to
have them early and late, but midsea-
son ones are rather druggy when nearly
every grower is sending them in. From
Thanksgiving until the middle of Jan-
uary cattleyas are none too abundant
and the grower who can strike the
market right will be pretty sure to
get good prices. Cattleya labiata can
easily be held back, but it is too late
to start to do it now. The house must
be run moderately cool. As low as 50
to 55 degrees at night in September
and October is better than 60 degrees,
but do not keep the night temperature
too low while the buds are pushing up
in the sheaths or while they are ex-
panding, or they are liable to become
stunted and will not open at all.

Shading.

There is now no need of any shade
whatever on cattleyas, except it may
be where plants are in flower. The
latter should be kept together and a
trifle cooler than the rest of the plants,

in order to keep them in good condition
as long as possible. Cypripediums
should not be fully exposed to the sun,
or the foliage, while it may not burn,
will take on a yellowish hue. Phalae-
nopsis is one orchid which always needs
some shade; even the winter sun should
.not be allowed to strike the leaves.
The leaves, while apparently tough, are
really easily scorched, and if once they
become disfigured the real beauty of
the plants is gone. Coelogynes, odon-
toglossums, miltonias, dendrobes and
other orchids will stand all the sun we
shall have for the next two or three
months and be benefited thereby.

Watering.

While we have had clear skies this
fall, we are liable to have long, dark,
rainy spells at any time now, and this
is when careful watering counts. It is
also a great advantage during such
periods to have clear glass over the
plants. With shading on, the foliage
may keep a darker color, but the plants
are softer, and in the case of cattleyas
and Iselias will not flower as well as
when grown in stronger light.

Watering should be done fairly. early
in the morning, so that the moisture
dropped on foliage and benches will
dry up before nightfall. Syringing
overhead should be gradually discon-
tinued. When done at all, let it be on
the mornings of clear days. Do not
play the hose directly on the plants,
as this makes too heavy a stream.
Always use a fine, misty spray. A de-

creased water supply all around will
be necessary now. It is always safe
to underwater rather than overwater.
Probably you have noticed that plants
allowed to become quite dry keep their
roots sound, whereas those more heav-
ily soaked rot badly. Feeding should
be discontinued except where the Cook-
son formula salts are used. These can
safely be applied the year around, ex-
cept when the plants are nearly dor-
mant. They seem to provide just a
little something which the plants need
and they work well on plants which
will simply not tolerate any form of
liquid animal manure, even in mild
doses.

Ventilating.

Cattleyas and I^lias, above all the
orchids, enjoy plenty of fresh air.
There are really but few days in the
year when neither top nor bottom ven-
tilators can be opened. In the case of
strong winds, enough will get between
the laps of glass to satisfy them, but
on all calm nights they should have one
or both ventilators open. If they are
kept closed down tightly and the air
is heavily charged with humidity to
counteract the drying influence of flre
heat, the result will be that the plants,
instead of sending their roots down
into the compost of the various recep-
tacles, will send them over the sides,
and plants in this condition, while
they may receive the encomiums of
those who know little of their culture,
will soon present a half shriveled ap-
pearance and will flower disappoint-
ingly.

While cattleyas love air, it is rather
otherwise with the East Indian family
of cypripediums, phalsenopsis, vandas,
saccolabiums, angrsecums and others.
These plants do not want actual cod-
dling and need some fresh air daily,
but the bulk of them are most at home
in rather small, stuffy houses, where no
current of air is ever felt and where a
close, humid atmosphere is maintained.
Then, again, the really cool orchids,
like odontoglossums, masdevallias, some
oncidiums, restrepias and others, like
plenty of air at all seasons.

This question of ventilation is not
half considered. It is the rock on
which many would-be orchid growers

perish. Too many still persist in keep-
ing orchids too hot and stuffy. Outside
of the purely East Indian, tropical
kinds, all like air in abundance.

BUGHTED CTPSIPEDIUM BUDS.

I write for information concerning
my failure to produce good blooms on
Cypripedium insigne. Two years is the
limit of my experience with them. I
keep them in a temperature of 55 to 60
degrees. They are good-sized plants in
7-inch pots. The foliage is a dark
green, healthy color. They throw out
the budsj but when they get to a cer-
tain stage — say when the stems are
three or four inches long — the stems get
limp or soft and the buds turn brown
or blight and die. I have been able to
carty along a few plants with blooms,
but these are inferior. A friend sug-
gested that the atmosphere might be at
fault, but I ventilate freely. The plants
are within two feet of the glass and
right under the ventilation. It was
also suggested that too much moisture,
from giving them more water than is
necessary, might be the cause. Any in-
formation on this subject would be
greatly appreciated, as I have had this
trouble two years in succession. The
plants are potted in half peat fiber
and half rotted sod. I have not fed
them with any fertilizer. C. D. H.

Your temperature seems to be all
right, and if the plants are within
two feet of the glass they are in an
ideal location. Cypripediums like a
fienial, moist atmosphere, while some
other orchids, such as cattleyas, need
a drier and airier one. The plants
should not stand where they will get
any direct current of air from the ven-
tilators. I think the most likely cause
of the spikes going off is too much

water at the roots. Though cypripe-
diums are terrestrial orchids and never
have a resting period, yet they are
more injured by an oversupply of water
than the reverse. If you water your
plants twice a week, it should suffice
at this season. If they are much matted
with roots or are in compost which is
sour and soggy, they should be pulled
to pieces and repotted when the flower-
ing season is over. Use a compost of
fibrous loam with the fine particles
shaken out, some lumpy charcoal, a
little old, well-dried cow manure and
some sharp sand. Keep quite close and
shaded from the direct sun after pot-
tings, and water quite sparingly until
root action is active. C. W.

BASSETT & WASHBURN'S PIiANT.

Interest attaches to the new estab-
lishment of Bassett & Washburn, at
Gregg's Station, 111., for a number of
reasons. "While Bassett & Washburn
have been building up one of the
largest greenhouse establishments in
the west, the town of Hinsdale has
been growing just as rapidly, and now
the older range of greenhouses is com-
pletely surrounded iDy handsome dwell-
ings, the owners of which do not espe-
cially enjoy the greenhouses as neigh-
bors. The disadvantages of the old
location have resulted in the new plant
at Gregg's Station. Here there is
abundant room, with plenty of cheap
land, comparatively speaking, and side-
track facilities which it is estimated
will save in cartage a sum equivalent
to the investment necessary to effect
the eventual removal of the older
plant.

When the new location was secured
it already was late in the season, and a
record was made in the erection of the
five houses shown in the accompanying

illustration. These houses each are 34x
599, the material having been supplied
by the John C. Moninger Co., Chicago,
and the erecting done by William
Mailander, of Morton Grove. At the
time of the S. A. F. convention in Chi-
cago only one of the houses had been
erected. Now carnations are being cut
in all of them. The type of construc-
tion is what is known as the steel flat
rafter house, with steel gutters. The
sashbars are only l%xl%, and carry
comparatively little of the strain, the
strength of the house being in the steel
frame. In these houses, thirty-four
feet wide, there are only two lines of
purlin supports.

One of the interesting features is the
boiler house with its tall stack of rein-
forced concrete. The building of this
stack was one of the big tasks of put-
ting up the range in record time. The
work was done by the Fehr Construc-
tion Co., Chicago, who used on the job
nearly 250 barrels of Universal Port
land cement.

Bassett & Washburn last week began
work on an addition to this range, to
consist of twelve houses, each 28x225
feet.

A START IN GLADIOLI.

I made an attempt to grow a few
gladioli between rows of carnations
last year and it was a failure. I have
some spare room and should like to trv
it again, and shall be obligetl if you
will tell me what treatment they re-
quire, stating the temperature and the
length of time required for them t(i
bloom. J. L. S.

It does not pay to attempt the cul-
ture of gladioli among carnations. One
crop only spoils the other. They are

18

all right where plants have died out,
however, as a catch crop. Bulbs of the
large flowering varieties, such as May,
Augusta, Shakespeare, America and
Mrs. Francis King, can be planted as
soon as received. Do not use any fresh
manure in the compost for them. They
like a good soil, such as will grow good
roses or carnations, and a night tem-
perature of 50 degrees. They will do
well in a lower temperature, but should
not have over 52 degrees at night in
winter.

The planting made early in Decem-
ber will flower during the first half of
April. Some may be later. You can
plant a succession batch in January to
follow these, and for Memorial day
trade the end of February is sufficient-
ly early to plant. Cover the corms
three inches.

The small bulbed gladioli of the Col-
villei and nanus types, such as Col-
villei The Bride, Peach Blossom, Blush-
ing Bride and others, arrive here about
October 1. Planted at that time, they
do not bloom before the latter part of
March. While they can be planted in
benches, they do equally well in flats
containing four or five inches of soil,
and the latter is the more economical
way to handle them. C. W.

CALLA LEAVES SPOTTED.

Will you please tell me why my calla
lily leaves get brown and white spots
on them and what to do for them?

C. G.

Probably some defective squares of
glass have caused the spots on the
leaves. Try to locate these and either
remove them or give them a light coat-
ing of shading to prevent further
burning. C. W.

BULBS SOOTING POORLY.

I have my bulbs all potted and they
seem to grow above ground without
making much roet growth. They are
stored in a cool cellar, which is quite
close and which is opened from the top
every night to change the air. Several
varieties of tulips have made one and
one-half inches. All the tulips are
planted in flats in four or four and one-
half inches of soil and placed on racks.
They were well watered when planted,
which was about four weeks ago. Today
I broke vent holes in the wall of the
cellar and gave more water. Up to the
present time the temperature has been
about 40 to 44 degrees. I am in hopes
that the temperature will be lowered
now. What other remedy would you
suggest for holding the bulbs back?

W. E. J.

The plan you have adopted of stack-
ing your bulb flats in racks is not one
that I can recommend. They should
rathef be on the floor of a cellar, pit or
coldframe, standing on sand or cinders,
and after being well soaked with water
they should be given a covering of three
or four inches of loam, saml or fine coal
ashes. I like the latter in a cellar, as
it is more cleanly than loam, but in
coldframes the loam covering answers
well. Of course, all bulbs do not need
covering. Paper AVhite narcissi, gladi-
oli, Spanish iris, ixias, sparaxis, tri-
tonias and sweet-scented jonquils are
exceptions, but all tulips and hyacinths
and practically all narcissi like a cool
bottom and a covering of some kind
over the tops of the flats or pans. Bidbs

treated thus have a more uniform mois-
ture at the roots and are also cooler
than when stacked up in tiers. The
soil in your flats will dry out too much
and no doubt needs another soaking
watering now. I would advise standing
them on the cellar floor; or, if that can-
not be done, dig a pit outside where
water will not stand and, after water-
ing, cover with soil. Later protect with
leaves or straw to exclude frost.

DAPHNE INDICA.

Can you or any of your readers in-
form me where I can procure plants
or cuttings of the greenhouse daphne?
I mean Daphne odorata. I have asked
several florists and looked through all
the catalogues I have, biit cannot find
it. Surely someone still grows it.

H. J. S.

The greenhouse daphne, usually
called Indica, but also D. odorata, is
not offered in any American catalogue,
so far as I have searched. A number
of European firms, however, offer it,
including James Veitch & Sons, Chel-
sea, London, England; Stuart Low &
Co., Bush Hill Park, Enfield, England,
and V. B. Gauntlett & Co., Chidding-
fold, Surrey, England.

This delightfully scented old plant is
occasionally seen here in fiorists ' stores,
where it is quickly sold. In the west
and southwest of England and also in
parts of the west of Scotland and Ire-
land this plant is found growing out-
doors in sheltered locations, where it
blooms as early as January. C. W.

DAYTON, O.

The Market.

Last week 's business was somewhat
of an improvement over the week
previous. Chrysanthemums seem to
carry the day, while roses and carna-
tions in many respects are compelled
to take a back seat. Chrysanthemums
in the pompon varieties will be over
with this week, but the extremely large
varieties are just coming in. It is gen-
erally expected that until the chrysan-
themum season closes, stock in other
lines will be in poor demand. Gigan-
teum lilies, though not overabundant,
are in good supply and sell well. An
improvement in the quality of violets
is quite noticeable, while sweet peas
are again putting in their appearance.

Various Notes.

George Bartholomew, who for the last
ten years has been manager of the
Miami Floral Co., expects to go into
business for himself. Mr. Bartholomew
came to Dayton from Chicago, where he
was employed by the George Wittbold
Co., while i)revious to his connection
with this company he was engaged in
business at Irving Park, Chicago. J. W.
Rodgers, who for the last seven years
was superintendent of the Cincinnati
parks, has bought a controlling interest
in the company and will become its
manager.

Finlay Neibert has just moved into
his fine new homo on Sprague street.

Miss Amy Ewing, who has been ail-
ing for the last several months, is again
able to be back at her post.

George Lamport, of Xenla, while out
hunting last week sprained his ankle.

C. F. Mahan has recently purchased
fifteen acres of land, which he will de-

vote to growing flowers and vegetables.

Mrs. Elizabeth Young is again able
to sit up a little each day.

Jos. I. Schaeffer and Elmer Jenkins
took a few days off last week and com
bined business and pleasure. They vis-
ited P. O. Coblentz, of New Madison,
O., who is the originator of three of our
best gladioli — Mrs. Francis King, Vel-
vet King and Idella. The pleasure part
of their trip was a turtle hunt, which
resulted in the capture of eleven turtles.

M. Anderson spent several days at his
store in Cleveland this week.

H. H. Bitter is convalescing from a
severe attack of the grip.

NEW YOEK.

The Maicket.

Indian summer played another week
to "capacity" houses. In other words,
it was not until November 16 that the
curtain was rung down on the most
open fall the New York cut flower mar
ket has ever known. All day Saturday
the legitimate trade, the Brooklyn
plungers and the department stores
were carting away wagon loads of
flowers, and yet there were oceans of
them left, especially chrysanthemums.
Even the football game at Princeton
seemed to have had no special influence
on the abnormal supply of mums and
violets. Finer stock of both never
reached New York, and yet values were
far below the prices that prevailed a
year ago. Now that clear, crisp, sea-
sonable weather is here, if it stays, a
steady improvement is anticipated and,
with the aid of the publicity methods,
an old-time Thanksgiving is expected.
There will be an abundance of every-
thing for the holiday.

This week we have the horse show,
and society should lift orchid values
from the rut. The opera season has
begun, numberless weddings, dinners,
receptions and debutante dances are an
nounced, and the leading retailers all
declare they are busy. There seems
nothing in the way of a brilliant fall
and winter for the florist.

Retail windows everywhere in the
big city are ablaze with color, and
made seductively enchanting by artistic
blendings and daily changes. Never
has the value of attractive window
dressing been so emphasized.

Prices of everything are at bottom
levels. The change must be for the
better and upward. A few of the prize
50-cent mums, unnamed^ or of this
year's introduction, are still arriving,
the fall flower shows being over and
the market the only outlet for them.
Violets are now arriving in unlimited
quantity, and the quality is tiptop; there
must have been over a million of them
here Saturday. Some of the specialists
received over forty boxes. Single vio
lets have grown in popularity this sea
son. The call for autumn foliage has

been persistent all the fall. Wreathing
of it has been immensely popular.
Narcissi and mignonette are arriving
freely. Where do all the orchids come
fromf Splendid orchids are now com-
ing in great quantity. With the excep-
tion of a few novelties, $2 per hundred
seems top for carnations. Prices for
American Beauties are steady. All
other roses are cheap.

Various Notes.

The seedsmen all declare this to have
been a record year. The wdnderfully
open fall has kept the trade humming.

By January 1 the MacNiff Co. will be
settled in its new store at 56 Vesey
street, occupying the whole of the five-
story and basement building.

Geo. F. Ditzenberger, whose severe
illness was reported in this column last
week, died in the Hackensack hospital.
A large number of his friends in the
trade attended the funeral, and the
floral tributes to his memory filled
many coaches. His most intimate
friend, J. J. Coan, was one of the pall-
bearers.

Enchantress Supreme, the new car-
nation now being introduced by Daille-
douze Bros., of Flatbush, after a four
years' test, is a light salmon pink.

Charles W. Eaton, of New Castle, N.
H., has purchased the greenhouses for-
merly owned by Clarence Eraser and
will grow carnations only. Charles H.
Craig, the foreman, formerly was with
W. Langdon, of Portsmouth, N. H.

Colin Ogston, of the Kimball Con-
servatories, Kochester, N. Y., was in
the city last week, the guest of Henry
Siebrecht.

A decoration last week in the large
ballroom of the Hotel Astor, for the
Canadian Club, was made by Louis M.
Groffman, formerly in business on
Staten Island. The flowers used were
American Beauty roses, Bonnaflfon
chrysanthemums and William Eccles
carnations.

Many New Yorkers were at Newark
early this week to attend the conven-
tion of the National Association of
Gardeners.

J. B. Nugent, Sr., now in his ninety-
second year, has been seriously ill, but
at last accounts was convalescing.

W. G. Badgley, of Badgley, Kiedel &
Meyer, was in the city November 16.
He is not allowing his municipal obli-
gations to interfere with business.

James Coyle has added a new office
to his other conveniences.

E. G. Wilson and Hugo Jahn, over in
Brooklyn, say the wedding bookings
are many and the City of Churches will
have an old-time season.

LOUISVILLE, KY.

The Italian garden room of the Tyler
hotel was the scene, November 14, of a
banquet given by the Kentucky Society
of Ilorists in honor of Eiehard Vincent,
Jr., of White Marsh, Md., president of
the Society of American Florists. Plates
were laid for fifty, including members
of the society and their guests. The
table was artistically decorated with
American Beauties, marguerites, chrysan-
themums and white roses. Anders Eas-
mussen presided as toastmaster and in-
troduced the following speakers: H,
Kleinstarink, who spoke on "Society
of American Florists;" George Schulz,
whose subject was "Kentucky Society

of Florists ; ' ' Mrs. Quarels, who dis-
cussed "The Ladies' Society of Ameri-
can Florists;" William Mann, whose
topic was "Those Present;" Herbert
Walker, who spoke on "Our Guests,"
and August Baumer, whose subject was
"The Ladies."

Previous to the banquet Mr. Vincent
gave a lecture on the international
flower show at London, England, which
was illustrated with colored stereopticon
views. In the neighborhood of 300 per-
sons attended the lecture.

ROCHESTEB.

The Market.

The wholesale market is pretty dead.
There seems to be a surplus of about
everything except roses, and they are
shy. The late and early mums are
coming in together and flooding the
market. For this market condition the
weather is largely blamed, and a change
of weather is anxiously looked for, in
the hope that it will open up the mar-
ket.

Various Notes.

Highland park, under the direction
of Assistant Superintendent Dunbar,
has been giving a show of chrysanthe-
mums in the park conservatory.
Though the show is not large, it is
well worth seeing. There are about 130
varieties of mums, arranged artistical-
ly, according to color and size. Be-
sides the well grown collection of show
flowers, the exhibition was especially
strong in pompons and anemones, in-
cluding quite a number of seedlings in
these classes. An adjoining house con-
tains over 300 species and varieties of
succulents. This is a notable collec-
tion. Among the many things to which
special attention could well be called
are a fine specimen of Euphorbia splen-
dens, and a half dozen specimens of
spineless cacti gathered in the Med-
iterranean district and sent here from
the Department of Plant Industry at
Washington. The other show house
contains a general collection of orchids,
nepenthes, stove plants, etc. The prop-
agating houses at the conservatory are
largely filled at present with begonias,
acacias and heaths. The clean, thrifty
stock showed skillful work on the part
ot Mr. Dukelow, the greenhouse fore-
man.

At a meeting of the Kochester Flo-
rists' Association, held November 11,
the finance committee showed that the
flower show was a success in every way.
Owing to the bad weather, however,
they did not clear as much as was
expected. Of the total expenses about
twenty per cent was for advertising,
over fifty per cent for decoration and
over twenty per cent for music. The
ladies' auxiliary cleared a substantial
sum from the tea room.

George Boucher is about to make a
notable increase in his store space. The
store he occupies has a frontage on
two streets, but a circulating library
has been using one end of it. He is
now going to extend his display the
entire length of the store, about 150
feet. This will give him large show
windows on each of two prominent
streets. To fill this additional space,
he has been acquiring a fine lot of dis-
play plants while prices were low.
These he has been keeping at his green-
houses. His well arranged, white store
is always attractively decorated in a

style that is characteristic of his work.
His window and store never have a
crowded appearance, but are alwayS'
neat and artistic. Mr. Boucher has, by
his personality and hard work, built
up a nice retail trade. Business has
increased to a point where he has had
to buy an additional auto delivery car.
He has also bought a new pleasure car
for himself.

H. P. Neun had his window filled
with a large, odd shaped bank of Maud
Dean mums. He had many more com-
ing in.

The greenhouses of Jacob Thomann
& Sons are again in good shape, after
some repair work has been done on
them. He has one house of carnations
that promise to be extra fine. In his
display house he has, among other
things, two benches of Boston ferns
and one bench of dracsenas. Outside he
has a large bed of pansies in full bloom.
Arthur Cowee has taken over the sale
of his entire lot of Eochester White
gladioli.

W. Logan, of Crosman Bros. Co., who
has for many years devoted a great
deal of attention to lawn grasses, has
been remarkably successful in produc-
ing lawns under unusual conditions.

PEOVIDENCE

The Market.

Warm weather last week had its ef-
fect upon trade conditions, somewhat
deterring business. Chrysanthemums
are in great profusion, but rather soft.
A few cold nights will bring them back
to their own, however, and a big de
mand is expected for Thanksgiving.
Prices were a little off this week and
stock moved slowly.

The Market.

The market for the last week was
good in all lines outside of Bonnaffon
mums, which have been long for some
time. There is an immense quantity of
these being grown locally this year,
and it has been a big task to keep them
all moving. The oversupply in this
line has brought the price of other yel-
low mums down. Other mums have
been selling well, and a shortage is
noted in medium and large white. The
poorer stock in all colors has been hard
to move. Pompons have been selling
well, with the call running heaviest on
good, stiff-stemmed yellow, bronze and
white. The singles do not do well in
this market.

Koses have been selling well and are
cleaned up daily, with the exception of
white, which has been rather long for
some time. Carnations are picking up
right along and the supply is just about
equal to the demand. Eastern double
violets are being-received daily, but do
not sell as well as in other seasons,
owing to the choice singles being
shipped in by the Mt. Clemens growers.
Sweet peas are being received in small
quantities and clean up well. Valley
is in heavy supply. Easter lilies are
not selling well, and the same is true
of callas. Stevia is being received in
limited quantities.

The season so far has been good
here, and the prospects are bright for
the future. It is the wish of the trade
that business will hold up as it has
started out; then we will have no com-
plaints to make.

Various Notes.

Thos. Browne, of Greenfield, is busy
marketing his mums. One can see him
any morning, with his Ford loaded to
the roof with boxes of mums, headed
for the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange.

Albert Pochelon has no complaints to
offer, except of too much business to
handle with comfort.

Walter Taepke cannot take time to
report at the market these days, owing
to the steady trade at the store.

E. A. Fetters has purchased another
delivery car and is ready for the rush.

Philip Breitmeyer is a busy man
these days, taking care of the debu-
tante bouquets.

Albert Stahelin is heavy on Bonnaf-
fon this season, and is also cutting
some fine carnations.

Geo. Browne has his new movable
house ready, and we expect to hear
from him right along now with some
fine carnations.

Eobert Klagge, of Mt. Clemens, is
sending in his usual variety of stock,
and has some nice carnations and
roses.

J. E. Carey, of Mt. Clemens, has fin-
ished a fine crop of Killarneys and has
another crop in sight.

Sidney Tinkler, the new grower at
Mt. Clemens, is getting a fine start this
season and has bright hopes for the
future. ,

Fred Breitmeyer is having a good
season in all lines.

A. Van Beversluys, of Mt. Clemens,
is starting in with his peas and they
are fine. He also has some choice mums
and carnations.

Leo Mallast is late in starting this
season, but says he will be on hand
when the mums are gone.

Carl Baer, of Archbold, O., has his
usual high grade of carnations and
mums and is consigning his cut to the
Michigan Cut Flower Exchange.

WASHINGTON.

The Market.

Business last week was nothing of
which we care to boast, although Sat-
urday the retailers had about all they
could do to fill the orders for chrysan-
themums, occasioned by the George-
town-Virginia football game. The av-
erage price during the week for chrys-
anthemums was from $4 to $6 per hun-
dred for the small ones and $2 to $3
per dozen for the fancy stock. Inas-
much as chrysanthemums now dominate
the market, the sale of other flowers
is comparatively small. There is a fair
demand for American Beauty roses.
Carnations cannot be said to be plen-
tiful, and several days during the week
orders for them had to be refused.
Roses are in much better shape now,
and the same can be said of violets,
both single and double. Among the
late arrivals is snapdragon; also pink
and white sweet peas and a limited
supply of lupines have made their ap-
pearance.

Various Notes.

The annual flower show, held last
week by Gude Bros. Co., was a marked
success, and exceeded the firm's expec-
tations. The attendance was gratify-
ing, although on several occasions the
press of visitors almost prevented the
proper carrying on of the business. A
novel feature was the singing of night-
ingales apparently from among the
palms and ferns. This was simulated
by five graphophones from records espe-
cially prepared.

O. A. C. Oehmler had a novel window
display at his store on G street, north-
west, on the occasion of the George-
town-Virginia football game, in which
was used the effigy of a husky football
player on a miniature gridiron.

Among the visitors last week were
George Watson, of Philadelphia, Pa.;
J. A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, and Mr.
Skidelsky, Jr., of Philadelphia.

The Florists' Exchange is again at
its old quarters at 1214 H street, N.
W., but in what is now an entirely new
building. The front of the sto're is of
glass, metal and cement. The fixtures
are all of mahogany and the ceiling is
of art metal set with a number of high

power electric lamps. The office is at
the rear of the store. In the cellar is
an ice-box 6x16 and space for storage
purposes. A large showing of palms
and ferns was made at the opening.
Albert Snell is the manager.

Antone Stockfi, of Berlin, Germany,
has entered the employ of Gude Bros.
Co. C. L. L.

OBITUAEY.

Walter S. Nichol.

Walter S. Nichol, one of the best
known florists of Rhode Island, died at
his home at Hampden Meadows, Bar-
rington, November 12. He was stricken
with paralysis October 30.

Walter S. Nichol was born in York-
shire, England, sixty years ago, coming
to this country when a boy. His father,
George Nichol, settled at Providence,
R. I., being one of the first florists in
that city, and remained in the business
for upwards of forty-five years. Walter
Nichol, with his two brothers, Robert
and Thomas, was employed by his
father, and took over the business after
his death. In 1890 Mr. Nichol went to
Barrington, R. I., where he started in
the florists' business, establishing a
model range of houses which he devoted
largely to carnations and violets. He
was one of the charter members of the
Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Rhode
Island, and at the time of the big con-
vention of the Society of American
Florists, at Providence, in 1894, was a
member of the executive committee in
charge of arrangements. He was a
constant attendant at the club meet-
ings for several years and always had
something of interest to offer.

Mrs. Nichol, who died six years ago,
could trace her ancestry back to Roger
Williams, the founder of Rhode Island.
Mr. Nichol is survived by three daugh-
ters, Bessie, Edna and May Nichol, all
of whom lived with their father. Mr.
Nichol was widely known and well
liked, as he was of a genial disposition,
with a smile at all times. A number
of the florists from various parts of the
state attended his funeral, which took
place Friday afternoon, November 15.

Oeorge F. Ditzenberger.

George F. Ditzenberger, of Woodcliff,
N. J., died November 11, in the hospital
of Hackensack, N. J., of cerebro-spinal
meningitis. He was 32 years of age
and leaves a widow and daughter. In
1904 he established the Woodcliff Floral
Co. Interment was at Woodcliff Lake
cemetery, Woodcliff Lake, N. J.

Arthur Harbison.

Arthur Harbison, of Harrodsburg,
Ky., died in that town November 10.
On the following day the body was
taken to the residence of his father-in-
law, John S. Shannon, in Shelbyville.
Ky., where the funeral was conducted
November 12. Mr. Harbison was born
and reared in Shelbyville, and moved
about six years ago to Harrodsburg,
where he engaged in the florists' busi-
ness. He was the youngest son of the
late George W. Harbison, one of Shelby
county's most prominent farmers. He
married Miss Millie Shannon, who, with
two children, survives him. He leaves
two brothers and two sisters— Marshall
Harbison, of Danville; Eugene Harbi-
son and Mrs. Jordan Harris, of Shelby-
ville, and Mrs. Henry Willis, of Louis-
ville.

spending the summer in the mountains
of North Carolina, has returned. He
made the trip both ways by automobile.

Fredonia, N. Y. — A barn owned by
the Larder Floral Co., on Free street,
was recently destroyed by fire. A
horse and some carriages were saved,
but several tons of hay were burned.
The loss was $2,500, partly covered by
insurance.

Bad Axe, Mich. — Alfred Deady, it is
said, has been taking a course of prac-
tical instruction in floriculture, pre-
paratory to engaging in the trade.
Next spring he, in company with his
father, G. M. Deady, will erect green-
houses near the new Grand Trunk
station.

Allentown, Pa. — Marcus De Long,
who resides in the suburb known as
Sterlingworth, is making preparations
to start in the florists' business. He
owns five lots at Thirty-eighth and
Linden streets, and to this property he
has removed the houses which formerly
belonged to A. B. Ellsworth and were
located at Fourth and Tilghman streets.
Mr. De Long expects to have the houses
rebuilt and ready for use in time for
the spring business.

New Haven, Conn. — It is reported
that Charles Conte, the florist on South
End road, was recently obliged to sell
the entire stock of his greenhouses at
a great sacrifice, owing to the fact that
the gas company, while blasting
through the road to lay a main, had
cracked and disjointed some of the
heating pipes in the houses. This con-
dition of the pipes, it is said, was not
discovered by Mr. Conte until he was
starting the boiler for the winter, when
the damage could not be repaired in
time to save the plants.

r:r;:-:::T-:^-':

Bocbester, N. Y. — Lord & Burnham
Co., New York, has opened a branch

grow flowers there for the market.

Newport, B. I. — Several greenhouses,
of Hitchings construction, are being
erected on the estate of Henry A. C.
Taylor, on Parker avenue. The plans
include two grape houses, two peach
houses, one rose house and three houses
for gardenias and carnations, besides
two propagating houses.

DON'T MISS IT

Wheeling, W. Va. — Arthur Langhans
has been awarded the contract to deco-
rate the booth of the West Virginia
State Board of Trade at the indoor
carnival and exposition of the Scottish
Eite Guard, to be held in the Wheeling
temple in the last part of November.

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. — Adolph Don-
art, proprietor of the Coeur d'Alene
Greenhouses, has sold a half interest
in the business to M. C. Louis, of
Aberdeen, Wash. The new firm has
secured Miss Mary Mitchell, an expert
florist of Seattle, to take charge of the
downtown store. Mr. Louis has for
the last six years conducted green-
houses at Aberdeen.

Angola, Ind. — E. Ford Carpenter has
installed a large new boiler and is mak-
ing preparations to build another green-
house for carnations. Business is first-
class.

Zanesville, O. — G. L. Humphrey had
the work for all the Masonic bodies at
the funeral of Dr. C. C. Knapp, making
one of the largest orders for funeral
work ever given here.

Waterbury, Conn. — Alexander Dallas,
of A. Dallas & Son., was so unfortunate
recently as to shoot off two of his fin-
gers while hunting. The charge struck
his left hand, tearing off the second and
third fingers.

Biclunond, Va. — A company has been
incorporated, with $25,000 capital stock,
to continue the business of John L.
Eatcliffe. Mr. Batcliffe is president;
William Catlin, vice-president, and A.
C. Woolridge, secretary-treasurer.

Nampa, Idaho. — H. M. Bouser, for-
merly with the Boise Floral Co., has
purchased a block of ground here and
will build greenhouses. He expects to
grow vegetables for the local market
this winter, and if the business proves
successful he will branch out into the
handling of cut flowers and plants next
year.

Pensacola, Fla.— Andrew Hauge, who
for some years has had charge of the
greenhouses of John L. Parker, at
Birmingham, Ala., has secured a tract
of land in this city and has begun the
erection of a range of greenhouses. He
will also open a retail store in the San
Carlos hotel. The store will be under
the personal management of Mrs.
Hauge.

Jacksonville, Fla. — The Tomlinson-
Key Floral Co., formerly at the corner
of Ocean and Forsyth streets, has re-
moved to its new store at 203 Main
street, which is much more commodious
and suitable than the old quarters.
Though the company has been in busi-
ness only a little over a year, the in-
crease in trade had already made this
enlarged space a necessity. In addition
to the store, the firm has greenhouses
and grounds at 18 West Eighteenth
street.

Houston, Tex. — The Henk Dirken
Floral Co. was recently organized here,
with headquarters at Bell and Caroline
streets. Dr. E. P. Daviss is president
of the company and H. Dirken is sales
manager. Though they handle a gen-
eral line of florists' stock, they make
a specialty of bulbs and ornamental
trees. They have already imported con-
siderable quantities of bulbs from Hol-
land and France, and fancy trees and
plants from Belgium and Japan. They
have made some large contracts for the
sale of their stock and the prospects
are encouraging.

Index to Advertisers

Page 106

Eesults bring advertising.
The Eeview brings results.

Why is it so many florists are con-
stantly striving for cheapness and quan-
tity instead of quality? Why not look
up, instead of down?

A SUMMARY of the New England
plant quarantine order of the Federal
Horticultural Board appeared on pages
90 and 92 of last week's issue of The
Eeview.

From the number of handsome blotters
enclosed with The Eeview 's incoming
mail, it appears that the ink absorber is
a favorite method of advertising with
the average retailer.

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.

Capable assistants are in request in
all departments of the horticultural
trades, but in most other lines as well
it is necessary to select wisely, educate
slowly and pay well to get and hold a
competent staff.

E. WiENHOEBER, Chicago, whose trade
is among the best class of flower
buyers, says he already can note the
waning popularity of the single and
pompon mums. He thinks it due to
their having been used so universally
this season and last.

Why is it the fellow whose service is
nowhere near so good as yours still gets
some trade, perhaps some trade you
ought to get but don't? It's because
he is a busy little hunter for buyers
who either don't know or don't care
what they do with their money.

When a florist can clean up his debts
once each month and have a surplus he
then is ready to expand his business,
building on a firm foundation. Until
he can pay current bills promptly he
should curtail his expenditures and look
carefully to his own credits and collec-
tions.

A MAN who says he has information
on the subject asserts that the quantity
of ruscus imported this year and avail-
able for dyeing is four times the quan-
tity available last year, while the de-
mand certainly is ten times stronger.
Furthermore, as much ruscus as was
used last year at Christmas has already
been consumed this season.

STEEL FILINOS IN THE SOIL.

A gentleman here has asked me
whether steel ^ings put in the ground
around hydrangeas would change their
color. He said a traveliog man had
told him that is why the growers get
so beautiful a color in , hydrangeas
around Baltimore. He had heard this

from a florist. Can you enlighten me
on the subject, so I can tell him whether
there is any truth in the statement or
not? G. D. R.

Some growers claim that, by the use
of iron or steel filings in the soil, pink
hydrangeas can be changed to blue. 1
have not verified this myself, but it
seems to be quite generally agreed that
the presence of iron in some form in
the soil does heighten or change the
color of the flowers. Alum has also
been used for the same purpose with
similar results. I would suggest mixing
some of the steel filings in your soil and
marking the pots containing them, so
as to test the correctness of this theory.

WHY ADVERTISING PAYS.

We once heard of a publisher whose
edition was one copy for each adver-
tiser— and we were told that his ad-
vertisers, though not numerous, were
satisfied — but nowadays most advertis-
ers want to know not only how many
copies are printed, but what the read-
ers think of a publication. Here is
what four subscribers to The Eeview
had to say when they sent in renewals
one day last week:

I count The Review among my best friends and
would dislike to miss a single copy. — W. M.
Vary, College Park, Ga., "November 11, 1912.

The Review grows better with each Issue and
I would feel lost without its weekly visit. — Nellie
Goodge, EvansvlUe, Ind., November 11, 1912.

A greenhouse without The Review would be like
a ship without a rudder. — F. Rhodes, Hartford.
Wis., November 11, 1912.

I am one of the subscribers who have received
every Issue of The Review. The paper shows
what rapid strides our business In general has
made. I am most distinctly pleased with the
foremost trade paper. — F. J. Fillmore, St. Louis.
Mo., November 11, 1912.

CHICAGO.

The Gkeat Central Market.

The most important change in the
market during the last week has been
the gradual decline in the average
prices returned to the growers. The
volume of business increased toward
the end of last week but the receipts
were so heavy that prices were below
what have been recorded thus far dur-
ing the chrysanthemum season. The
present week opened with no improve-
ment in the demand and such large sup-
plies of stock that prices scarcely could
be said to be holding steady. There
may be three exceptions to the story
of declining averages. Most important
of these is Beauties, which are not in
specially large supply, and for which
excellent prices are being received; in-
deed, it is doubtful if Beauties ever
brought better prices in quantity dur-
ing the height of the chrysanthemum
season. Also, the price of orchids is
firm. The heaviest of the autumn crop
is off, though there still are plenty of.
fancy cattleyas for those who are will-''
ing to pay the prices that were con-
sidered usual in the days before or-
chids became so heavily grown as they
now are. Also, violets show no special
decline in price, due more to prices al-
ready having been on rock bottom
rather than to any special increase in
the demand. The suppljr ratljer exceeds
the call. tri.iH

Chrysanthemums which, early in the
season, were realizing better prices
than in recent years, have retrograded
to the point where values are about the

FOR THANKSGIVING YOU NEED THESE

EATON

CHADWICK

YELLOW BONNAFFON white

The best Chrysanthemums just before Thanksgiving are Baton, Chadwick
and the Bonnaff ons. These are the varieties that every flower store can sell
at a profit. There is no waste if the stock comes from a grower who knows
how to do these varieties right. Our growers are specialists— no catch-crop
Mums handled here. Our Batons, Chadwicks and Bonnaffons are in the spe-
cial fancy class— we have smaller Mums, but there are none better than we
offer in these three varieties. The supply is large now, and it will be still
larger at the opening of next week, when you will want your Thanksgiving
supplies.

ORCHIDS

Our Cattleyas are coming in
stronger just as the general autumn
crop throughout the country is pass-
ing off. We shall have fine Cattleyas
in increasing quantity from now on.
You always can get Cattleyas if you
order here.

VIOLETS

If you are not getting your share
of the corsage work, probably it is
because you do not use our Violets.
There are none better to be had, and
unless your competitor uses ours
probably his Violets are not so good
as yours will be if you order of us.

CARNATIONS

We can furnish all the Carnations your trade demands. The stock is
good. The flowers are the equal of anything to be found in this section and
the stems are all that you would ask. From now on our Carnations should
occupy a prominent place in your store.

FANCY ROSES

There are three strong reasons why the thinking buyers are ordering
their Roses of us this season: In the first place, it is well known that
better Roses cannot be grown; in the second place, we have a full line— the
largest in the market; and, thirdly, we have this year fully doubled our sup-
ply—from new glass— so can take good care of a large number of new custo-
mers.

KILLARNEY
RADIANCE

WHITE KILLARNEY RICHIMOND

BULGARIE (Tafft) SUNBURST

AARON WARD MY MARYLAND

BEAUTIES

It is well known that our supply of Beauties is the largest and by far
the steadiest in the west, and probably in the entire United States, while
the quality is all that the most critical buyer could ask. Order direct of us.

lowest ever knowa. It takes really
first-class chrysanthemums to bring
above $2 per dozen. The market is
badly overloaded with the medium and
low grade stock. Strictly fancy chrys-
anthemums are not in particularly large
supply and there are those who say
they can get better prices for the fancy
blooms than the same stock realized
last year. This is not true, however,
of Bonnaffon or the other varieties in
largest supply. Pompons never were
80 abundant as now and they never
have sold so cheaply.

The weather has been favorable for
the production of roses and prices have
weakened, except, perhaps, on some of
the specialties. The so-called new
roses are in light supply compared to
Killarney and White Killarney. There
is now a great abundance of long-
stemmed, fancy flowers. It takes an
excellent rose to realize 8 cents.

Carnations have receded from the
strong position they held at the begin-
ning of last week and prices now are
distinctly low for this season of the
year. The greater part of the receipts
this year appear to be white and there
is a good sale, comparatively, for the
colored varieties.

Sweet peas have begun to come in
but are not yet a factor to be reckoned
with. Stevia has arrived. Not many
Paper Whites are coming in. Valley
is in steady supply and request. Easter
lilies are not abundant but still are
equal to all the demands. A few callas
are to be seen.

The market is well supplied on practi-
cally all greens, even asparagus strings
and smilax being fairly abundant. New
boxwood is coming in heavily. It is
difficult to hold the price on ferns,
many dealers considering themselves
overstocked.

Various Notes.

The Chicago Florists' Club gave a
banquet and informal dance to its
members and their ladies at the Sher-
man house Thursday evening, Novem-
ber 14, the attendance exceeding 100.
The menu was excellent and following
the repast the crystal room was cleared
for the dance. There was no speech-
making, but between the dances profes-
sional entertainers amused the crowd.
The affair was under the management
of Guy W. French, chairman of the
committee on the good of the club, and
was thoroughly successful.

Miss L. A. Tonner has returned from
her trip to Georgia, on which she was
accompanied by her mother, the first
time Mrs. Tonner has made a long jour-
ney in forty years. Miss Tonner now
makes her headquarters with the Jack-
son Pecan Groves Co., 29 South LaSalle
street.

W. H. Hilton reports excellent busi-
ness at his store on East Fifty-third
street. A recent illustrated article in
the Hyde Park News says Mr. Hilton
started in business in this city in 1880.

The Cook County Florists' Associa-
tion will meet at the Tavern tonight,
November 21. Walter Scott, of La
Grange, will give a talk on "Character
as a Factor in Business Success." De-
cember 4 the association will give a
dance at Bush Temple. Secretary Pyfer
announces that J. K. M. L. Farquhar,
president-elect of the S. A. F., will be
in Chicago in December and will give
a lecture before the association.

FLOWER BULLETIN No. 6

Our series of Flower Bulletins are designed to advise you of the stock
we can supply at lowest market prices. You will want to watch for these
Bulletins, as they are going to mean something to you. Send us an order
for any. of the items listed and learn why.

CHBTSANTHEMUMS.

We have an enormous supply of Chrysanthemums, all kinds, colors and
prices, but what we want especially to call attention to now, and for
Thanksgiving, is our supply of popular Whites and Yellows. In White
we have White Bonnaffon, Ivory and Eaton in quantity. There are no
other Whites that approach these in popularity. Can furnish fine stock in
quantity at $10.00 to $15.00 per hundred. In Yellow there is nothing that
approaches the good old Major Bonnaffon as a seller. We assert without
fear of successful contradiction that there is no other supply that can com-
pare with ours. Splendid stock at from $10.00 to $15.00 per hundred, fine,
clean, well-finished, big flowers on long stems with perfect foliage.

We also have the Bunched Mums in great assortment at from 50 cents
to 75 cents per bunch.

Our supply of all these will last until after Thanksgiving. You can
get all the Mums you need at prices that will give you a chance to sell at
good profit if you order your Thanksgiving supply of us. Do it now and
have it settled.

CATTLEYAS— OECHIDS.

Our cattleyas are home-grown and are, we believe, not to be equaled
by any other Cattleyas to be had anywhere in the United States. Cer-
tainly there are none better. If your trade appreciates stock that is a little
better stock than your competitor handles, use our Cattleyas.

FANCY BOSES.

We have large crops of Roses, especially in the fancy grades: Killarney,
White Killarney and extra fancy Richmond. This is stock you will find it
a pleasure to handle.

CARNATIONS.

Our Carnation crops now are coming in heavily. Prices this week,
$2.00 to $3.00 per hundred. Our Carnations now are as good as anybody
will ask. Fine, clean, big flowers and long, strong stems.

If you have not received our Thanksgiving price list, send us a wire.
Don't order elsewhere until it comes.

SUPPLY SPECIALTIES

RUSCUS

The experienced buyer of Ruscus knows that there are fully as many
qualities of Ruscus as there are houses dyeing it. Good Ruscus, bright
and even in color, is about the best seller the trade has got hold of in many
a day. But the dull, dirty-colored, moldy, spotted Ruscus — well, about ail
you can do with that kind is to ship it back to the house you got it from,
and order some really good Ruscus from Randall. Randall's Ruscus is pre-
pared according to the celebrated Marechal method. This means supreme
quality. A post card will bring you samples and prices. Send one today.
You really should not buy except by sample — the price means nothing until
you see the quality. Bright Christmas red, violet, green, lavender, cerise,
purple, gold, silver, etc. — any color you want promptly made up to order
if not in stock.

DOLLAB DOVES.

You should try our dollar Dove (Blue label — $12.00 per dozen; $1.15
each if ordered in less than dozen lots). You wiU agree that it is the best
value you ever have seen. Of course we have cheaper doves (Red label,
$1.00 each, $10.50 per dozen; Green label, 90c each, $9.00 per dozen) that
are good value and may serve your purposes, but if you want a specially
good article order a dozen of our Blue label Dove at $12.00.

BEECH SPBAYS.

These are splendid for designs; rich brown in color, fine leaves, little
wood to waste. Once tried you will use them constantly. Order today.
25-lb. lots, 26c per lb.

The Southwestern Market.

The local market has had another
good week so far as supply is con-
cerned, and business was quite steady
at all the wholesale houses.

The mum season is at its height and
some splendid stock is coming in. Fancy
pompons have had a good call, for the
west end retailers are making a spe-
cialty of them. The rose consignments
last week were large and the stock of
excellent color, foliage and stem. The
first and second grades were in abundant
supply, while specials met with a good
demand. Prices on roses so far this
season have not been high, and the
same may be said as to carnations. Of
these there are a great many more of
the lower grades than of the fancy. The
latter always sell well in this market
at this season of the year.

Fancy Beauties are somewhat scarce,
but on the lower grades the market is
well supplied. Violets were in good
demand all last week, but the supply
was equal to the call. These are becom-

This market now has fancy valley at all
times, the supply coming from local
growers. Quite a few Easter lUies were

The chrysanthemum, queen of the
autumn, is also queen of the market, for
mums are abundant, as well as superb
in quality and color. Chadwick Engue-
hard, Bonnaffon and Eaton are among
the best. It is predicted that there will
be an abundance of mums for Thanks-
giving, and they will be in splendid
condition because of the cooler weather.
Carnations are good, but they are rather
scarce and have gone up in price. Be-
cause of the great quantities of mums
in the market, roses are beginning to
pile up, though they are of good qual-
ity. Kiliarney and White Kiliarney are
both much better than they have been.
Mrs. Aaron Ward and Mrs. Taft roses
are excellent.

Valley is good. Cypripedium orchids
are coming in, but are not selling well.
Violets have gone up in price and they
are in fine condition. Harrisii lilies are
scarce. Cyclamens are on sale in some
of the shops. Boxwood, asparagus,
hardy ferns and adiantums are plenti-
ful.

A great quantity of chrysanthemums

daily sales do not move even a fraction
of those brought in. In some of the
greenhouses the blooms are cut and
consigned to the dump, it being consid-
ered useless to send them all to market.
For other flowers there is a reasonably
good demand. Hoses sell fairly well,
although the price is far below the

that should bring 8 cents are sold at 4

For Lady Hillingdon the wholesaler is
able to get 6 cents, but that is because
they are scarce. Beauties are off crop
in several places, and consequently
there is quite a demand for them, espa-

There are many reasons why, too numer-

1. Reduction #f refrigerating expense to
one-half that of ujfeig ice. |

2. Increased life of your stock, being
kept in dry cold air at the proper tempera-
ture.

3. Doing away with the muss attending
the putting in of ice.

4. Increased profits, as the quality of
your stock will demand a better price.

The Sising Eastern Market.

With the week ending November 20
a crisis has been passed. The load of
chrysanthemums has been greater than
at any time this season, or any other
season. Now it is growing lighter.
Such vast quantities of chrysanthemums
have been hard to sell at paying prices.
When there is so much stock the buy-
ers bear heavily, with marked effect.
Prices have been extremely low, par-
ticularly 80 on Bonnaffon, a variety that
seems to be in every shipment. The
wholesale house that could dispose of
all its chrysanthemums at a modest
average price had cause for satisfac-
tion. The fancy blooms of some fine
varieties frequently realized $3, and oc-
casionally $4, per dozen, but the moment
that variety became plentiful or the
quality went to select or ordinary, down
went the prices. There was no telling
where they would stop. Yellow is the
leading color. Appleton is almost un-
heard of today, but Bonnaffon is every-
where. Unfortunately, the mild weather
is not best suited for this variety, giv-
ing the buyers much cause for com-
plaint. Golden Chadwick is probably
the finest orange yellow. Golden Wed-
ding, Golden Eagle and Yellow Eaton
are all good. Jeanne Nonin has made
its appearance. Chadwick, Timothy
Eaton and White Bonnaffon form the
white brigade. Maud Dean is not gen-
erally in form this year. Chadwick
Supreme is the best pink. Dr. Engue-
hard, over with many growers, is just
coming in with a few. Then there are

Cattleyas have advanced, due to short

Various Notes.

Friday, November 15, was a red-letter
day at the southwest corner of
Eighteenth and Chestnut streets. Crowds
came and went all day. Automobiles
laden with plants and flowers made de-
livery throughout the city. Inside the
London Flower Shop six or eight young
ladies acted as saleswomen, just for the
day. Their friends bought, their
friends' motors delivered, and the
profits, something like $200, went to the
Home for Incurables.

Frank L. Politis returned from Greece
last week, after three months spent in

helping his native country in conquer-
ing the Turks.

Everyone will be interested to know
that the Weiss Flower Store will open
November 23, on Germantown avenue,
and everyone will wish Eugene Weiss
well in his new venture. Mr. Weiss is
well and favorably known as the former
proprietor of a retail fiower store at
Eighth and Arch streets, and of a
greenhouse establishment at Hatboro,
Pa. Both businesses were run for many
years and then sold, one to F. Herbert
Steinmetz and the other to H. M. Weiss
& Sons. Experts say that Mr. Weiss
has shown sound judgment in his selec-
tion of a location.

"I call her up every day and send
her fiowers whenever she wants." Not
a lover's confession; just a good sales-
man's statement of a business fact.

Albert Arnold finds the Floral Nur-
series' rose, Sweetheart, is in demand
in this city and in New York for bask-
ets and bouquets.

Raymond Kester, writing from In-

dianapolis to a friend in this city, ex-
presses satisfaction with the progress
made by the new store of the Hill-Heller
Co., and confidence in its future.

Edward Reid announces the arrival
of Hudson river violets in this city. Mr.
Reid finds the Wards fine shipping car-
nations.

George E. Campbell describes the color
of Sunburst as "the concentrated es-
sence of sunshine."

Harry Bayersdorfer says that im-
mortelles will be scarce this season.
This statement has great weight, be-
cause Mr. Bayersdorfer believes his firm
to have the largest stock of immortelles
in the world.

Paul Applegreen is now manager for
the Henry F. Michell Co. greenhouses
and trial grounds at Andalusia, Pa. Mr.
Applegreen has had much experience.

The Market.

There now is a decided improvement
all around in market conditions. The
approach of Thanksgiving may be
partly acountable for this, but nice, sea-
sonable weather now prevails and flow-
ers are opening more slowly. The bulk
of the chrysanthemums are oyer and,
although a good many are being held
for Thanksgiving, they will from this
time on cut les9 figure in the market.
Bonnaflfon is still the mum par excel-
lence, but Eaton, Jeanne Nonin, Maud
Dean, Mrs. Jerome Jones, Intensity,
Patty and a number of other sorts are
still obtainable. Prices are ruling bet-
ter on these. Eoses have stiffened up
considerably and there is now a marked
shortage of short-stemmed stock. Mrs.
Charles Eussell is, of course, the leader,
and the supply of this is far below the
demand. Killarney, Eichmond, Sun-
burst and Hillingdon are all selling
well, as are Beauties. Th«»e seems to
be a tendency to overdo the yellow

Carnations are showing up more
strongly and prices are better. The
quality is now approaching midwinter

several growers. There is still a fine
supply of Lady Lenox cosmos, candy-
tuft and bachelor's buttons.

Cattleya labiata is less abundant, as
several growers now have almost fin-
ished cutting. Of cypripediums and
other orchids there is an adequate sup-
ply. Gardenias are still rather scarce;
growers complain of buds dropping
heavily. There is an improved demand
for all kinds of green stock.

Club Meeting.

There was an excellent attendance at
the club meeting November 19. The
speaker of the evening was Professor
E. A. White, of the floricultural depart-
ment of the Massachusetts Agricultural
College, Amherst, on "Education for
the Gardener and Florist. ' ' The lecturer
read an able paper and brought out his
points in a lucid and convincing man-
ner. There are some who view college
education with suspicion, but Mr. White
easily disarmed all opposition of this
sort and had his audience with him
from the start. His paper gave rise to
an animated discussion, participated in
by Messrs. Palmer, Downs, Craig, Cam-
eron, Finlaysoh, Holmes and Westwood.
A rising vote of thanks was tendered
the lecturer at the close.

The banquet committee made a most
satisfactory report, all bills being paid
and a small balance on hand.

Nominations for officers for 1913 were
made as follows: President, W. J. Ken-
nedy; vice-president, H. H. Bartsch and
Eber Holmes; secretary, W. N. Craig;
treasurer, Peter Fisher; executive com-
mittee, John Reid, W. J. Patterson, F.
E. Palmer, Henry Penn, D. Finlayson,
A. K. Eogers, J. Van Leeuwen, E. S.
Edgar, P. M. Miller, J. L. Miller, J.
Lawson and W. C. Rust.

F. E. Palmer was made chairman of
the publicity committee. Mr. Farquhar
spoke of his western trip.

The exhibits of the evening included
Winter Cheer begonias from Wm.
Downs, awarded a report of merit; a
collection of flowering plants from W.
W. Edgar Co., finely grown; Carnation
Princess Dagmar, from M. A. Patten &
Co., awarded a report of merit, and
Carnation Gloria, from H. W. Field,
awarded a report of merit.

The Florists^ Review

NOVEMBEB 21, 1912.

HOLLY

nHAVE just completed my contracts with the Holly peo-
ple of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia for my supply

HOLLY

for the season of 1912. I secured my Holly this year

to be cut from the swamps in the lower part of Delaware and

Maryland, as it is greener and has more berries on than the
upland Holly. It will be strictly first-class in every particular. I will have it packed as usual, in regular size cases,
2x2x4, and I positively guarantee it as represented. My first car will arrive here about December 1. The price on orders
received during November will be $3.00 fper case, f . o. b. Philadelphia.

I have my Wreaths made of the brightest dark green
Holly possible to secure, wrapped with wire, on 10-inch
hoops, and each Wreath has four or five spots of berries.
Price. $10.00, $i2.50 and $16.00 per 100, according to weight
and quality.

My Laurel Wreathing comes from New Jersey. The
Laurel is gathered in the swamps, and the Wreathing is made
by hand on heavy roping in 50-yard lengths. Price. 3c per yd.

The Mistletoe comes mostly from North and South Car-

olina and is well berried. Price, $2.50 to $4.00 per barrel ;
$6.00 to $10.00 per case, according to quality, about 100 lbs.
to case.

Lycopodium, in 10-yard rolls, 4c to 6c per, yard.

Christmas Trees, 6 to 20 feet high, 76c to $2.60 each.

Send me your orders ; state the day you want it shipped,
and if by freight or express and by what route or railroad.

All Christmas Greens are sold on spot cash terms, and
checks must accompany all orders.

and the quality is right up to their
usual high standard.

Inquiries at the several seed stores
show that Dutch bulbs are now quite
low, and in many varieties entirely
sold out. The season has been a satis-
factory one.

Kameyama & Serada, of Stoneham,
were unfortunate enough to lose a
house of 600 dozen mums, owing to the
cold snap. A bursting steam pipe com-
pletely spoiled the entire crop.

W. W. Edgar Co., of Waverley,, and
W. H. Homlinson, of Dorchester, are
shipping in fine batches of Mme. Fet-
rick and other early azaleas to the
Boston Flower Exchange.

The E. Sutermeister Estate, of Read-
ville, was the first to send in stevia.
They sipl have a fine lot of candytuft
and have a big lot of bulbous stock
coming along.

PkKe Bros., of Waltham, have this
se#l|oS five large houses of roses, the
entire cut being handled by the Flover
. Giovugm' Sales Co. Varieties grown are
KUlttt^ey, White Killarney, Hillingdon
and Bichmond.

J. N, Leach & Son's new light pink
' carnation, Pink Supreme, is doing
splendidly with them this season, and
J. M. Cohen, who handles Messrs.
Leach's flowers, says that the demand
for it is far in excess of the supply.

Stanley R. Fisher, son of Peter
Fisher, was quietly married last month
to Miss Jennie Hubbard, of Norwood.
The young couple have returned from
a two weeks' honeymoon and are
ensconced in a fine new house just com-
pleted near Mr. Fisher, Sr. A host of
friends wish the young couple every
success in life. Mr. Fisher, Jr., is asso-
ciated with his father in business.

John K. M. L. Farquhar is home from
his Minneapolis trip enthusiastic over
the outlook for the S. A. F. convention
there next August. He praises the St.
IPaul show highly. Mr. Farquhar now
has two presidencies, each calling for
much of his time and lat>or, viz.; the
S. A. P. and Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society. W. N. Craig.

HARTFORD, CONN.

The Market.

The weather is ideal for growing, the
days being bright and the nights cold.
Roses are thriving particularly well,
and the prospects for heavy cuts for
Thanksgiving are excellent. My Mary-
land is scarce, but Killarney can take
care of all the demand for pink roses.

E Blue Ribbon Valley

Some fine Killarney Queen are coming
in, on long stems. Lady Hillingdon is
the best yellow. Aaron Ward is also
good, but the stems are short. Ameri-
can Beauties are scarce. The growers
are holding them back for Christmas.
Carnations are good; the cool weather
has hardened them and they meet with
a fair demand. White Wonder seems
to be about the best white and is more
than ■ holding its own with White
Enchantress and White Perfection.
Mums are plentiful; in fact, there are
more than enough. The best flowers
sell well, but the poorer grades are only
a drag on the market. Violets are good
and meet with a fair demand. Aspara-
gus plumosus and Sprengeri clean up,
with adiantum a good second. Smilax
is scarce.

Various Notes.

John Coombs reports business excel-
lent, and anticipates a good trade for
Thanksgiving.

G. McClunie was kept busy last week
with funeral work and decorations.

Joseph Intraviva has opened a flower
store on Main street, Middletown, and
is doing well.

Emil Koenig has gone to take a posi-
tion in Eoanoke, Va.

The plant of A. N. Pierson, Crom-
well, Conn., is in fine shape. This con-
cern grows 65,000 carnations, and they
are giving an excellent cut. The roses
also are looking good. Killarney
Queen is a splendid grower. Dark Pink
Killarney is good since the weather be-
came cool. Their new rose, Milady, is
attracting wide attention and is getting
better and better as the season ad-
vances. Anton Olson is back at his
old position as gardenia grower, having
now recovered from the wounds re-
ceived when he was attacked by an
Italian employed under him.

Eight 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.

Plenty of sunshine and crisp, frosty
nights, followed by delightful days,
has been the order for the last week.
A rain would be quite acceptable,
though we are not really suffering. The
crop of mums is just at its crest and
there is plenty to meet the heaviest
demand ever known here. The sun-
shine is bringing the carnations here
in liberal quantities, and they are of
good quality at last. The cold nights
are improving the quality of the vio-
lets, and they are in fair supply, with
demand enough to keep them pretty
well cleaned up. The local supply of
orchids is about done for a while. Val-
ley is abundant, while lilies are
scarce. Eoses are in better supply than
they were a week or two ago, and will
be abundant for Thanksgiving.

The Dutch bulbs are about cleaned
up, though some are ordering wherever
they can find a supply in this country,
to fill late orders. This seems strange,
as bulbs were selling freely last year
until the last of .January, our open
winters making those planted at that
late date do almost as well as those
of the earlier planting. Many who are
accustomed to wait till late to do their
planting will be disappointed.

There have been unusually large
numbers of social functions in the last
ten days, and the decorations at many
of them were elaborate. There were
several important funerals last week,
one of which used about .$1,000 worth
of flowers. This is a rather large
amount for a funeral here.

The seed trade is quiet. We have an
abundance of holly and mistletoe in our
woods, and the farmers bring it in
large loads and sell it on the streets,
so none of the seedsmen attempt to
handle it.

and was surprised at the large quantity
of first-class stock on hand for Thanks-
giving. The first interesting sight, just
at the entrance, was about a dozen men
busy unpacking a shipment of stock
from Holland. There were pot-grown
shrubs of all sorts, including even
double-flowering crabs and cherries.
Several hundred rhododendrons were
being unpacked and potted, and a fine
lot they were.

A noteworthy feature of the ship-
ment was a bunch of about the heaviest
berried English holly ever seen in this
market.

Several large houses are full of mums
that are just ready to cut. As none
had been taken as yet, they presented
a beautiful sight. I was particularly
impressed with the appearance of one
of the largest houses on the place,
which was filled with yellows and
whites that would average nearly ten
inches in diameter. One house is full
to overflowing with as healthy a lot
of cyclamens as one would care to see,
just about ready for the market. Mr.
Joy will have no shortage of greens,
as two of his largest houses are full of
Asparagus plumosus nanus, many of
them eighteen to twenty feet long and
all of them limited only by the height
of the house. He has not yet begun
cutting on these.

The propagating house was about
half filled with carnation cuttings that
should be in early next season. In all
the thousands of feet devoted to roses,
we did not see a diseased plant. Pres
ent appearances indicate that the firm
will have a phenomenally heavy cut of
long stemmed Beauties and Killarney
for Christmas. These were being held
back as much as possible for that time.
This is said to be the largest establish-
ment south of the Ohio river devoted
exclusively to cut flowers. Whether
this be true or not, we could but won-
der who buys all the flowers we saw
in the several acres under glass.

to receiving the bulk of their seeds.
They say business is dull just now, but
that if it were not dull they would
never have been able to get ready for
the new stock, as they have been
rushed all of the time till the last few
days. They are out of almost all varie-
ties of bulbs.

A visit to the greenhouses of the
Mount Olivet Cemetery Co. found them
almost sold out of everything. The
firm must either enlarge the plant or
see much of the business go elsewhere.
Things were looking well, however, and
it is always a good omen to be sold
out when a good crop has been grown.

Mclntyre Bros, have about com-
pleted their new flower store, and it
will be one of the most roomy and
best arranged of the retail shops of the
town. It is located away from the
business part of the town, on one of the
principal residence streets. We shall
be interested to see if the location
proves a success.

Haury & Sons report the best busi-
ness ever. They have been running a
retail wagon to handle their pot mums,
as well as doing more than the normal
amount of business from their store.

Geny Bros, continue to have all the
business they can attend to. Their
windows contain the best decorations
seen there for a long time, and that is
saying a great deal. They believe in a
good, artistic window display, and the
way every one is working every time
we happen in is evidence that it pays.

CINCINNATI.

The Gateway to the South.

The first day of last week started in
good shape and was good until evening,
but when the wholesalers opened for
Tuesday's business something hap-
pened, or rather failed to happen. The
demand dropped off suddenly, and in
order to effect clearances, if possible,
large sacrifices in price were necessary.
This was especially true of chrysan-
themums. The slump even struck some
other lines which have been especially
popular, such as American Beauties.
Friday and Saturday tried their best to
redeem the week's business. They man-
aged to clean up the rose and carnation
supply and a large part of the mumg,
but they could not quite reach all.
When the 'large and excellent supply is
considered, along withr the inactive de-
mand, the word "rotten" best de-

scribes the conditions. Tea roses, how-
ever, did a little better than their con-
freres, the American Beauties. Sweet
peas, narcissi and mignonette cleaned
up and were, in fact, in demand. Other
offerings include carnations, Easter
lilies, calla lilies, lily of the valley, or-
chids, violets, both double and single,
and stevias. The last named has been
selling well up to this time.

Club Meeting.

On Monday, November 11, the Flo-
rists' Club held its regular meeting at
the club rooms. A. C. Heckman, Jr.,
Ray Murphy and Chas. H, Hoffmeister
were appointed by President Gus
Adrian to arrange for a banquet on the
night of December 9, when Richard
Vincent, Jr., president of the S. A. F.,
will be with us to give us an illustrated
talk on the international flower show.
The committee has selected the Burnet
House as the place for the affair, and
the time will be 8 p. m.

After the regular meeting was over,
the members enjoyed a Dutch lunch
and smoker. Frank Volz entertained
with character and popular songs.

The next regular meeting will be De-
cember 2. On that night, too, there
will be refreshments and a smoker.

Various Notes.

J. M. McCullough's Sons Co. has
been receiving some choice violets from
Mount Holly.

L. H. Kyrk, on Third street, was the
first to offer pansies this fall. They
cleaned up nicely.

C. E. Critchell was the first whole-
saler to offer Paper "Whites this month.
These blooms and his stevias have been
selling well. He is also finding a strong
demand for red and green ruscus.

J. W. Bodgers, who states that he is
now managing director of the Miami
Floral Co., was in town last week to
close up some business.

The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange
is finding the demand for the elegant
carnations from Bloomhurst far in ex-
cess of the supply. Nearly all of them
are going out of town.

C. E. Critchell has rented the prem-
ises at 19 East Third avenue, as an an-
nex for his Christmas goods. It was
necessary for him to do this, because
right now he is using every available
inch of space in his present quarters.

P. J. dinger is cleaning up his sup-
ply of roses nicely each day.

YONKEES, N. Y.

There was a large attendance at the
meeting of the Yonkers Horticultural
Society, held in Hollywood Inn, Friday,
November 15. The principal business
was the nomination of office bearers for
1913. The following were selected:
President, W. H. Waite; vice-president,
J. Canning; secretary, H. Nichols;
treasurer, W. Wright; corresponding and
financial secretary, W. Mills; executive
committee, T. Mahoney, R. Eennison, R.
Cochrane and Ernest Miller. It was
decided to form a bowling club, and as
soon as the committee can engage alleys
the members will begin practice. The
next regular mfeeting will be held De-

The Market.

Trade is about all that we can expect
at this time of the year. Stock is plen-
tiful, but nothing is going to waste in
any line, unless it is a few Appleton
mums. Mums, as a rule, are good, and
some of the later varieties are coming
in now. Maud Dean is arriving and
is welcome, as Enguehard has held full
sway for the last week or so. White
and Yellow Chadwick are coming in

also, so we can almost see the end of
the mum season, as Thanksgiving, no
doubt, will clean up the most of them.
Carnations are fine and are about suffi-
cient in quantity to fill all demands.
A few times in the last two weeks there
were hardly enough to go the rounds,
but as a rule the supply is about equal
to the demand. Roses are also good,
ind the demand keeps them about
cleaned up at all times. The demand
for Beauties varies, and there is not a
great quantity on the market, as mums
largely take their place at present.
Sweet peas are more plentiful and find
a ready sale. Violets are good sellers,
and several times the supply was ex-
hausted in the last week or so.

There have been considerable num-
bers of weddings lately, which have
used u]i a good deal of stock and cre-
ated quite a demand for valley.
Funeral orders have been heavy for
the last week or so and have used lots
of mums. The plant trade has been
rather light and there is not a great
deal of plant stock on the market at
present. Pot mums are not grown ex-
tensively here this season, and other
blooming plants have not made their
appearance in quantity.

Various Notes.

The Livingston Seed Co. held its an-
nual mum show last week and had a
good crowd of spectators and patrons.

E. Metzmaier reports heavy business
ou funeral orders, with mums cleaned
up daily.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has a
fine lot of mums which are being held
back for Thanksgiving week, and they

Strictly fancy holly will be none too
plentiful this season, but there will be
an abundance of the kind that /one
makes up with the Michigan red berries.

A SUMMARY of the New England
plant quarantine order of the Federal
Horticultural Board appeared on pages
90 and 92 of last week's issue of The
Review.

E. W. Fee, the seedsman of Albu-
querque, N. M., who was shot five times
by a discharged Mexican employee Sep-
tember 17, has fully recovered and is
attending to business as usual.

An annual "canned goods week" is
being organized by the canning and gro-
cery trades and the assistance of whole-
sale seedsmen will be asked. It is pro-
posed to get all possible publicity for
canned foods for one week early in each
year for the purpose of increasing the
consumption of these products.

It is proving a favorable season for
picking bouquet green — frequently snow
has covered the ground before this date.
Were it not for this, the supply would
have been short, as it is necessary to
go farther and farther into the woods
each year. It does not look as though
green ever again would sell at the old
prices.

The Beview a pamphlet of views and
descriptions of the different depart-

statement that it was first published in
the Danish language for distribution at
an exhibition in Copenhagen, and met
with such success that he had it re-
printed in English.

ENFOBCINO THE QUARANTINE.

The government appears to be hav-
ing more or less difficulty in enforcing
the quarantine against potatoes from
countries that may send diseape with
the potatoes; the customs officials do
not appear to take the matter seriously.
The Treasury Department therefore has
issued instructions for the guidance of
customs officers in cooperation with
the Department of Agriculture for the
purpose of enforcing the plant quaran-
tine act, which was approved August
20, 1912, as follows:

"Under section 7 of the act, importa-
tion from certain countries of the com-
mon or Irish potato was prohibited, and
in quarantine notice No. 3 the Secre-
tary of Agriculture prohibited the im-
portation of Irish potatoes from Ger-
many.

"Collectors are informed that the
promulgation of a notice of prohibition

WESTERN CANNEBS IN SESSION.

The meeting of the Western Canners'

lined is as follows:

Special feature of business, the dis-
banding of the Western Canners' Asso-
ciation; discussion of canned food
week; the establishing of a canners'
clearing house. Open discussion on the
condition of the following articles, led
by the appointed committee:

Corn, E. F. Trego, Illinois; E. E. Man-
hard, Iowa; E. E. Smith, Ohio.

Tomatoes, C. W. MacReynolds, In-
diana; .1. Ed. Gunther, Kentucky;
Thomas W. Potter, Illinois.

Peas, W. C. Leitsch, Wisconsin;
Charles Latchem, Indiana; E. P. Dag-
gett, Michigan.

As this will be the last meeting of
the western states canners before the
national canners' convention at Louis-
ville, next Febpiary, a large attendance
is expected, /especially in view of the
proposed disbandment of the Western
Canners' Association.

The Florists' Review 57

I Want to Get in Touch with a Big, Broad Man
in the Seed Trade Who Isn^t Happy in His Job

I want to hear from the best seedsman in America who
wants a bigger, broader, richer future than his present
position or business holds.

This man is needed by one of the oldest seed businesses
in America — a house with an enviable reputation, built up
by fair dealing, co.nsistent advertising, and honest seeds.

The business is big and steady; it is in a large eastern
city, but its trade extends from coast to coast. It can be
made much greater — it ought to be doubled. It is on the
up-grade now.

For the man who can take hold and help put this seed
business where it ought to be, there is an unusual opening.
If he measures up to requirements, he will have an oppor-
tunity at once to acquire an interest in the business.

A man with capital — possibly a manager or a partner
in another concern — is preferred. The business is paying
and additional capital is not needed, but it is felt that an
investment by the right man will cause more rapid growth.

This is a big thing, and I can give the details only
in person. If you think you're the right man, write me
fully, telling what you are doing, what you have done, and
whether you would consider an investment after investiga-
tion had shown it advisable. Address me in confidence —

The Market.

The -weather has been warm for this
time of year. Chrysanthemums are
plentiful and of good quality, com-
manding good prices. The store fronts
are unusually attractive at this time,
on account of the quantities of autumn
foliage to be had.

Club Meeting.

The regular semi-monthly meeting of
the Gardeners' and Florists' Club was
held November 11 at the Florists'
Exchange hall, with the president, Wm.
Christie, in the chair. A permanent en-
tertainment committee was appointed,
consisting of F. C. Bauer, J. A. Nuth,
A. G. Fiedler, J. L. Towner and C. H.
Wagner. The concession for selling
flowers at the show at the Armory
November 19 to 23 was auctioned off,
M. Hilbert being the successful bidder.

Some fine chrysanthemums were on
exhibition. Ed. Herrmann, of Belair
road, had a good white seedling. A vase
of fine Yellow Jones was shown by
Mathias Thau, of Govanstown. James
Hamilton brought Patty and Chadwick,
and Philip B. Welsh showed excellent
Golden Eagle. S. W.

Minneapolis in 1913 was held. The

The edible bulbs produced in Japan are the Auratum, Platyphyllum and the Tigrinuni chiefly, which
are boiled and eaten like the common French artichoke. The Mag-nificum, Rubrum and Roseum are
broken up and the scales dried, after which they are exported to China, for eating purposes. Formosa
lily bulb scales are also soaked, and then made into a powdered starch, which is cooked and eaten in
the shape of cookies, cakes and other goodies for everyone. So do not think that all bulbs are used
solely for flowering purposes. Those which are used by the florist, however, must be of superior qual-
ity to those that are eaten. In all sorts of merchandise, in things to wear, in things to eat, or in things
for the horne, there are a few names denoting either maker or brand, which stand for quality. These
names are isolated from a hundred inferior products, simply because they have been tested in the labo-
ratory of public opinion and stamped with the seal of public approval. In the lily bulb line the name
Horseshoe Brand is distinctive in itself, and denotes the best there is during the current season. You
can safely buy that brand and be assured that you are getting the best that is possible to buy. There
are none better and many not as good. Horseshoe Brand Cold Storage Giganteum is a good invest-
ment just now — and a good investment is always the best to speculate on. They are always an abso-
lute necessity to a progressive florist. Write now.

STOBINa OELEBY.

Will you please inform me as to the
best method of storing table celery, the
Giant Pascal variety, for the winter!
For three winters I have planted it in
loam, in the barn cellar, and it has al-
ways commenced to rot soon after be-
ing planted there. I think the reason
for its rotting oflf is the lack of suf-
ficient liglit and air, as there are only
two small windows in the cellar, but
it is the only cellar I can use for the
purpose. Any advice you can give me
will be highly appreciated. R. K.

Preparatory to storing the celery, it
should be partly bleached. It should
be stored as late as possible in the fall,
in trenches about six inches wide and
ten or twelve inches deep. Place a
cap made of boards on the trench, with
an opening at every length for venti-
lation. Be sure to have an air space
over the celery tops, and do not cover
the boards with soil until it is quite
necessary on account of frost. Cover
the trench with soil and later put on
straw or marsh hay, as the weather be-
comes cooler.

Giant Pascal is a difficult variety to
keep; there are other varieties that
keep a great deal better. A cellar is
all right for keeping celery, provided
you can get enough air into it and
keep the celery far enough apart in
the rows so that it will be thoroughly
ventilated. M. L, Buetenik.

PITTSBUEOH, PA.

The Market.

Last week proved a banner one for
the retailers. Debutante and various
other functions kept them busy all
week, and at the same time kept stock
of all kinds cleaned up for the whole-
saler. There being plenty of good
stock, it was a satisfactory week in-
deed. The warm fall brought in
chrysanthemums a little early. They
are already getting on the short side,
and by the end of this week all chances
of a glut will be over. This will be a
record year for chrysanthemums. There
has not been a glut and all stock has
brought fair prices. Even if not high,
the average must be better than other
years.

Lilies have been in ample supply this
week. Beauties are a little scarce and
prices have gone up. Sweet peas have
made their appearance, but do not
seem to move. Calendula is another
flower which does not seem to go well
in this market. Violets are improving
right along, and are beginning to sell
better. Carnations have been on the
short side. •

TACOMA, WASH.

The Market.

With the presidential election over,
those of the florists who became Pro-
gressive and otherwise may now settle
down to business again. Trade has
been good, but there seems to be an
oversupply of the midseason varieties
of mums, some of the growers going in
too heavily for some of these varieties.
Consequently the prices are hardly
holding up to those of former years.
Carnations are none too plentiful, but
are of good quality. Violets are be-
coming more abundant. Boses are
scarce and bring good prices.

Various Notes.

The Woodland Floral Co. is sending
in a fine lot of mums.

Mrs. Watson is starting a new store
on C street, in the Chamber of Com-
merce building. The old store in the
Public Market will be continued under
the management of Miss Watson.

The Fife Floral Co. has opened a
retail store in the D Street Market and
will do a general flower business there.

The California Florists have just fin-
ished extensive improvements at their
store on Pacific avenue.

The Florists' Club held its regular
meeting November 7. Much business
came before the meeting. A visit was
planned to the greenhouses of the
Hollywood Gardens, November 24. The
following papers are to be read at the
next regular meeting, December 5:
"The Growing of Chrysanthemums,"
by Ed Goldsack; "How to Grow
Lilies," by Mr. Sanford. All members
are requested to be present on that
date, for the election of officers for the
ensuing year. J. L. S.

SPOKANE, WASH.

The Market.

Business for the first part of Novem-
ber has been good and, while there have
not been so many good funeral orders
to fall back on, yet the cash sales have
been better. But it has been hard to
get what good stock is worth. Chrysan-
themums have been plentiful in all
grades and colors and the local supply
has more than been enough to supply
the demand. Cari^tions have been
none too plentiful and every day uses
up the supply. Home-grown violets are
beginning to be more plentiful and can
always be sold in preference to the
California product. Roses have been
a little off crop and, with the exception
of white, have not been overplentiful.

Various Notes.

A. Eahn, of Portland, spent a day
visiting the greenhouses and carried
home a few nice orders. Incidentally
he was boosting for the big flower
show pulled off in Portland.

H. G, Evans, recently of Chicago, has
taken the position of designer and
decorator with H. E. Reimers, and the
windows of the Reimers' Floral Art
Shop show a decided improvement.

Mr. Donart and Mr. Lewis, of Coeur

ARE YOU SATISFIED?

Any florist on the Pacific coast not
satisfied to do a local retail business
can build up a prosperous wholesale
trade by using space in The Review to
let the buyers know where stock is to
be found. This way:

We have found advertising in The
Review to be very satisfactory. We
have had orders from all parts of the
United States, as well as from the Pa-
cific coast, showing that your valued
paper has a very wide circulation. At
any time we have any special advertis-
ing to do we certainly shall send it to
The Review.— Hogan & Koosmian,
Oakland, Cal., October 3, 1912.

D'Alene, were recent visitors. Mr.
Lewis has just purchased an interest
with Mr. Donart, and is a recent ar-
rival from Aberdeen, Wash. Mr. Donart
has just completed a range of four
houses 32 x 140 feet and will start out
with a crop of vegetables and plant to
flowers next season.

The Spokane Greenhouses are send-
ing in some fine cyclamen plants and
cut chrysanthemums. They report trade
brisk for such a young organization.

The Spokane Florist Co. has the new
automobile delivery wagon out. It is
painted in a light green with silver
lettering, and is quite conspicuous on
the street.

Eugene Szuchiewicz, of the Spokane
Florist Co., has been wearing a broad
smile of late, the occasion being the
arrival of a fine baby girl at his home.

J. P. Brittan, representative of the
Asiatic Export & Import Co., of Seattle,
was calling on the trade taking orders
for baskets, etc. C. T. K.

LOS ANGELES, CAL.

The Market.

Stock has been plentiful in all varie-
ties, but it cleans up well and there has
been no glut. Indoor chrysanthemums
are practically over for the season in
this locality, but they continue to ar-
rive from the north. Outdoor mums
are useful for filling in for funeral
work, centaureas at 50 cents per dozen
not covering enough space in the
cheaper class of trade. Indoor roses
are. not particularly good for the sea-
son, except in a few cases. Beauties
are poor in color, but the foliage is
good. Gardenias are in fair supply,
the quality being good, but the stems
short as yet. The outdoor carnations
are elegant, the Choate variety espe-
cially being attractive, while Fair
Maid, with large flowers and stems
sixteen inches long, are surely good for
outside stock in November. There is
more variety in orchids, but the number
of flowers to be had is limited. I
recently noticed fine blooms of the good
old Lselia grandis tenebrosa in a re-
tailer's window, and it attracted con-
siderable attention, but I question if
it is suitabile for use as a cut flower.
Cattleya labiata is not plentiful or par-
ticularly good this season. Valley is in
good shape and cleans up well. Cen-
taureas are particularly good now, the
color clear and bright and the flowers
large. The violet situation is about as

Paper "White narcissus and Chinese lily
are seen, but not enough yet to cut any
figure. Fir, cypress and redwood
wreathing are all selling well, and the
demand keeps brisk for all kind of
greens. Swl^et peas continue scarce, the
high price of seed preventing some
growers sowing so large an acreage,
while the quality of the seed sown was
not in all cases the best.

Various Notes.

At the postponed meeting of the Los
Angeles Horticultural Society, held No-
vember 12, about sixty members were
present, and in the absence of Secre-
tary Kruckeberg, who was in the north
at the nurserymen 's convention, J.
Reeves, of Beverly, acted as scribe.
Four new members were admitted, and
Wm. Woods, the new horticultural com-
missioner, presented his paper, "In-
jurious Insects on Street Trees." In
the discussion which followed, G. M.
Grant, J. Beeves, Dr. Houghton and
others took part, but the discussion, as
is usual when this kind of subject is
brought up, soon veered to politics. It
is high time that finis be written to the
political wrangling in the club and
something else brought up. Mr. Wood
contends that $1,500,000 damage is done
to the orchards in Los Angeles county
by scale, but gives no inkling as to
how this total was obtained.

Charlie Morton, manager of the Los
Angeles Flower Market, made a flying
trip to San Francisco November 12.
Business keeps up well with him.

The H. N. Gage Co. began cutting
the first Paper White narcissi from
the Montebello ranch November 10,
from bulbs planted in September.

tually schools and other conveniences,
so that altogether this is a pretty large
project.

The Superior Nursery is sending in
excellent Primula obconica, the colors
rich and varied, the plants well grown
and altogether creditable.

The fact that the land on which
George Watson's houses stand has been
sold has given rise to all kinds of
rumors. One of these was that Morris
Goldenson and Mr. Watson were going
to build a large plant on the former's
land east of the city. There is abso-
lutely no foundation for these rumors.
In speaking with Mr. Goldenson, I
gleaned the fact that negotiations are
in progress with the new owners of the
land for an extension of the lease, and
that if these go through the place will
be continued as heretofore. Mr. Golden-
son says that if they are not successful,
almost anything might happen.

Albert Goldenson, brother of Morris,
was held up and severely handled "near
Pasadena the night of November 13.
He had little money on him, but feels
pretty badly about it.

first milestone November 4. Both part-

SAN FEANOISCO.

The Market.

We have been treated to several
showers in the last few days and every-
thing has begun to have a wintry look.
There have been enough intervals of
bright weather, however, to produce
plenty of stock. Mums are at their
height and the prices are reasonable
enough to suit anyone. The finest out-
side Bonnaffons can be bought by the
retailers at 75 cents per dozen. There
was a slight advance during the big
football games last week, but that was
over in a couple of days and things
resumed their regular appearance again.
It will take a spell of frost or a few
days of continued heavy rain to make
any change in present prices. In car-
nations the supply is abundant for im-
mediate requirements, with many houses
of young stock coming on. There has
been practically no change in the grow-
ers'figures for the last two months. In
roses, also, there seems to be an over-
abundance, especially of the short-
stemmed stock. This is a rather un-
usual occurrence at this time. In fancy
stock, however, there is but a limited
supply and good prices prevail.

Christmas berries have already made
a showing, reminding us that the holi-
day season will soon be here. They are
not as bright colored as they will be as
soon as the frost strikes them. Other
lines of stock have not shown any great
change, with the exception of gladioli
and dahlias, and these are over for the
season. Business is only fair, with
prospects of plenty in a couple of
weeks.

Cisco for several days, has returned to
his home in Los Angeles.

The California Association of Nur-
serymen closed a most successful con-
vention in Oakland, November 12.
About 100 of the principal growers on
the coast were in attendance for three
days and items of considerable interest
to the trade were discussed. The next
convention will be held in Fresno. Ees-
olutions were adopted recommending
better legislation, especially in regard
to the inspection law. A vote of thank's
was given to the Chamber of Com-
merce of Oakland, Mayor Mott and
the individuals who had entertained the
delegates, and especially to Lester
Morse, who gave an elaborate banquet
to the members on the evening of No-
vember 11. G.

SEATTLE.

The Market.

Business has 1 r( u about the average
during the last week. "With inclement
weather, the transient trade is hardly
so good as usual at this season, but
several good wedding decorations have
helped considerably, and funeral work
has been rather above the normal. Ex-
tra fine chrysanthemums are now being
offered and the local product is with-
out competition at present. The large
blooms are selling well and there is an
unabated demand for the single and
pompon varieties. The prices of large
flowers are hardly so good as they used
to be, on account of the influx of the
California stock early in the season.
Carnations are plentiful, with the de-
mand none too good, and there has been
talk of cutting prices, but the small
surplus at present should be overcome
with increasing trade toward the holi-
days. Cattleyas continue in good sup-
ply and violets are, like the poor, al-
ways with us. The sale of ferns, palms
and flowering plants is good. Cycla-
mens and primulas are bringing good
prices.

Various Notes.

The Hollywood Gardens held their
annual chrysanthemum show, at their
premises on Second avenue, at the end
of last week.

A number of local florists went to
Portland, Ore., to attend the fall
show.

— ^Aniie-4«^ meeting of the Florists'
Club the quelrt^on of getting some re-
striction on the street hawkers came
up and it was decided to see what could
be done in the matter. A committee
was appointed to make necessary ar-
rangements for the club ball, to be held
about December 10. After the business
was disposed of, the members ad-
journed to the bowling alleys and a
pleasant game between retailers and
growers resulted in favor of the former.

Mr. and Mrs. Felix Rosaia returned
last week from a protracted visit to
California. He says that "the flower
business down there hasn 't got any
points over ours."

At the greenhouses of Andrew Mat-
thiesen and Eisdon k Son, at Brighton,
the roses are looking well and they are
cutting some nice blooms.

last ten years. So far we have had
hardly any frost and the excess of
temperature for the year is 207 degrees.

The car shortage is being felt here
and consumers of coal are having dif-
ficulty in getting their orders filled.
Several growers are using wood for fuel
and are finding it in some cases cheaper
than coal.

A number of growers have put in
fall sowings of sweet peas this year,
as the early flowers have proved in
past years to be most profitable. The
ground has not been in good condition
for sowing the seed and there will be
complaints of poor seed, no doubt, a
little later. T. W.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

Business is rushing. The counter
trade is brisk, funeral work is active,
there are numerous weddings, and dec-
orations are in demand. The continu-
ous rainy weather is having its effect
on stock, for roses are shortening up
and the color is poor, especially in Maid
and Killarney. Richmond seems to
stand the conditions best of all. Car-
nations are not so good as they would
be with bright skies. Chrysanthemums
are in their prime, Bonnaffon and
Golden Eagle just coming into crop.
The shipping demand has been steady,
stock going in all directions, even as
far as Vancouver.

Flower Show.

The flower show given in the Armory
November 15 and 16 under the auspices
of the Fruit and \Flower Mission was
a grand success. The big hall was
turned into a fairyland, every available
foot being occupied by the exhibits.

The Tonseth exhibit was a general
display of chrysanthemums, carnations
and roses, with a fountain effect and
several large baskets of mums and
Beauties. This exhibitor also showed
bride's bouquets and table decorations.
Julius Schnapp came from Seattle to
help with this exhibit, C. Tonseth being
still laid up by his recent accident.

Martin & Forbes Co. had a fine dis-
play of orchids arranged in a rustic
stand surmounted by a fine Cibotium
Schiedei, also a general display of ferns
and begonias, cut mums, roses and car-
nations, also decorations and wedding
flowers.

Clarke Bros, had an extremely well
arranged group of orchids and adian-
tums, also a general display of mums,
roses, carnations and pot plants. Their
basket arrangements, table decorations
and wedding flowers were especially
good.

Max Smith had an excellent display
of chrysanthemums, carnations, ferns,
cyclamens and basket arrangements.
Niklas & Son had a group of chrysan-
themums and carnations. The Portland
Seed Co. showed bulbs, seeds, nursery
stock and supplies. J. B. Pilkington
made a general display of nursery
stock. The Routledge Seed & Floral Co.

A SUMMARY of the New England
plant quarantine order of the F^eral
Horticultural Board appeared on pages
90 and 92 of last week's issue of The
Review.

This has been an especially good
autumn season for the nursery trade.
Planting still is going on in many of
the sections where the volume of busi-
ness is heaviest.

At Chicago this season practically
everyone in the nursery business has
had to decline orders because of the
impossibility of getting competent
labor. Even day laborers have been
scarce.

A STOREHOUSE On the grounds of the
Jewell Nursery Ck)., at Lake City, Minn.,
was recently burned to the ground.
Among the contents of the building,
which were also destroyed, were many
boxes of choice Wealthy apples, which
were intended for exhibition at the state
and national fruit shows.

Gecrqe a. H. Farmer, son of an
English barrister, has purchased the
land and stock of the Tokio Nursery,
near Terra Bella, Cal., and will expend
a liberal sum of money in the improve-
ment of the property, which comprises

following summary is by Wm. Pitkin,
chairman of the A. A. N. legislative
committee :

"Your chairman has been advised
by Dr. H. T. Fernald, state nursery in-
spector of Massachusetts, that a new
law was passed by the Massachusetts
legislature a short time ago which will
make considerable change. The law,
however, does not go into- effect until
December 1, 1912.

' ' The new law omits the requirement
for official Massachusetts tags to be
attached to each shipment going into
the state. Under tLpjiiew.iaw the ordi-
nary inspection certificate of another
state will be sufficient, and it will not
be necessary to send to Massachusetts
for their official tags.

"Under the old law the Massachu-
setts inspectors had no discretion in
the handling of stock shipped into the
state which was found infested. Under
that law they were obliged to either
destroy or return the entire shipment,
whether one box or one carload, and
were not permitted to destroy, treat or
return an infested portion and allow
the good portion to be used.

''Under the new law they will be
permitted to treat or destroy the in-
fested portion, and the good stock can
be used, thus placing proper discre-
tionary powers in the hands of the
inspectors. This is a decided improve-
ment in the Massachusetts law and
situation.

"A new section has been added to
the law, empowering the state nursery
inspector, with the approval of the
secretary of the state board of agricul-
ture, to prohibit, for such periods and
under such conditions as in his judg-
ment may seem necessary, the delivery
within the state of nursery stock from
any other state, when, in his opinion,
such nursery stock is liable to be in-
fested with insect pests or diseases not
already present in the state; or, in
other words, the law provides for state
quarantine powers."

The store floor,* basement and second floor will be

same, we remain,

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

Business last week steadily increased
and conditions were more encouraging.
Though the supply of cut flowers far
exceeds the demand, the prices of stock
remain about the same.

One of the leading dry goods stores
last week had a large sale of chrysan-<
themums and carnations, and the stock
handled was good for the prices that
were asked. The stock was shipped
from an out-of-town concern. Some
florists think that these sales hurt busi-
ness in a general way, while others
can see an advantage in them. As a
general rule, it is not the regular
flower-buying public that attends these
sales, but a different class of people,
generally poorer, and hence such sales
serve to popularize flowers and create
more of a taste for them. Some fine
violets were also sold on the streets
last week. Carnations and roses sold
a great deal better last week than
usual, and both are improving greatly
in size and color. Potted mums are
moving fast; there are few plants left
for Thanksgiving. Home-grown cut
chrysanthemums are still in heavy de-
mand, though there are few left.

Various Notes.

Samuel Murray has an attractive
window. It would make any person
hungry to see the excellent grapes
shown in a large basket in the center
of the display, and they were grown
at his own greenhouses.

Arthur Newell says business is good
and he has been exceedingly busy dur-
ing the last week with funeral work.

E. S. Brown & Son have about cut
their last mums. They have disposed
of a large quantity of them this fall.

E. H. Frandsen & Co. have as fine
a lot of cyclamens as can be found in
the west.

Henry Kusik & Co. say that stock is
moving fast. Everything that reaches
the store is quickly disposed of, espe-
cially the roses.

William J. Wirt, of Parsons, Kan.,
was in the city last week and called
on many of the florists. W. J. B.

Nashville, Mich. — John Means, who
has successfully conducted a florists'
business here during the last year, has
now completed the erection of three
greenhouses, each 20x70. These are the
^'^t.ifl^.efinjiouses in town.

THE NEW GOLD MEDAL ROSE

"Mrs. Charles Russell"

ii This firiant forcing rose is an American seedling raised at the
Waban Rose Conservatories and has been tested in our
houses for several years.

a. It has proved to be a strong, vigorous grower, and its freedom
of bloom is remarkable for a rose that is fully as large as an
American Beauty.

C Its large, pointed buds, of a clear rose-pink and delightfully
sweet fragrance, are the admiration of all who have seen it,
either growing in our houses or as exhibited by us at the
different shows.

<l It has received high honors when exhibited at such centers as
Philadelphia, New York and Boston. At the latter place the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society honored it with a Gold
Medal, a rare distinction from this conservative society.

Plants will be ready for delivery after March 1, 1913

worth while— and that is the light. Silvery Pink. It produces

large spikes, it flowers freely and brings the top-notch price in the

open market.

Whether you are a wholesale or a retail grower, you cannot

possibly go wrong by planting a bench of this excellent variety.

It will PAY YOU to do so. The following letter from S J.

Goddard speaks for itself:

October 19, 1912.
Mr. Geo. E. Buxton, Nashua, N. H.

Dear Sir : Your light pink Snapdragon I consider
the best color of any I have grown. Just the shade of
a Killarney rose and one that the ladies like. I have
watched all the pink ones that are sent to the Boston
market, but they are away behind your variety. I am
growing your variety now entirely.

Very truly yours. S. J. Goddard.

The Market.

For the last three weeks business has
been the dullest we have experienced
for some time. The weather has been
too fine for the good of the florists.
Funeral work has been short. Mums
are at their best and the supply is more
than equal to the demand. Beauties and
roses have been plentiful and some first-
class stock is to be obtained. Carna-
tions are improving daily, but the call
is light. Hudson river violets and
home-grown singles have been selling
well. Valley and orchids have also been
moving. The pot pljint trade has been
light, while there are some first-class
Lorraines, cyclamens and pot mums to

Various Notes.

Bertermann Bros. Co. is getting along
nicely with the new conservatory and
expects to have it completed in a couple
of weeks.

Henry Rieman had an accident re-
cently with his new Flanders delivery
car. The car skidded on the wet pave-
ment into a milk wagon, but the damage
was not great.

W. H. Elverson, of the W. H. Elver-
son Pottery Co., spent a few days with
the trade here last week.

B. F. Hensley, of Knightstown, has
been shipping quantities of mums to
this market.

A. Wiegand & Sons have been busy
with decorations lately.

The Smith & Young Co. has been
sending in some first-class roses from
the Cumberland plant.

Hartje & Elder have a fine lot of late
mums for Thanksgiving.

The Hill-Heller Co. reports good re-
sults from the Saturday sales of dollar
boxes of flowers.

John Grande has had a fine lot of pot

The Florists^ Review

85

Florists Look! Prosperity! Prosperity! Prosperity!

PREPARE FOR THANKSGIVING AND THE HOLIDAYS

Election is now over, the country is settled, Godfrey Aschmann elected with a big majority.
At last prosperity has arrived. Fill and stock up your houses now with the best for the
Holidays; turn your pennies into dollars.

WHEN THE VOTE WAS COUNTED.

When they counted the vote there could be no mistake,
Godfrey Aschmann was at head of the poll.

The Bull Moose was nowhere and Debs was a fake,
While Taft was left In a bole.

Not one of lot ever knew how to pot*

Up a plant In the way It should grow.
The contest was hot. Who said It was not?

No one else bad a ghost of a show.

Aschmann showed us his charms, then back to their farms

His competitors scurried In haste.
His Araucarlas, Ferns, Azaleas and Palms

Appealed to all who bad taste.

Said the Florists all around, "None better are found.
We're for Aschmann down to our last cent."

With volumes of sound to his house they're bound
To stock up with the best, their intent.

And they ting, as they go, "Our old friend Is not slow.
He's on top of the heap, all his rivals below."

49* Look and soo what Mr. Frod J. Micholl, off tho so woll-known
firm, Honry F. Micholl Co., off Phllailolphla, has to say about
our plant, Sopt. 14, 1912:

"I have Just visited the greenhouses of Godfrey Aschmann, and must say
tha tit was indeed a great surprise to me. I have never seen a better lot
of Araucarlas, Ferns of all sizes and varieties and prices, Kubbers,
Palms, Azaleas and all other seasonable plants ready for shipment,
as are at present at Mr. Oodfrey Aschmann's."

"Saskatchewan Oreenhouses, E. J. Coster, Prop., Prince Albert, Sask.,
Can., Oct. 29, 1912. Godfrey Aschmann, Esq., Philadelphia, Pa. Dear sir:
Your shipment of $33.60 worth of ferns Oct. 23rd arrived in first-class
shape, and I beK to state that I never bought as good ferns at the price
in my life, and I have been buying them for over sixteen years. Now I
am coming back to you for some more stuff, if you treat me as well as
you have done this last time. Yours truly, E. J. Costter."

AZALEA INOIGA

New importation, unpacked and in first-class
condition, full of buds. We have the finest
Fetriok, the best early pink, full of buds, as
round as an apple, a child can bring them into
bloom for Christmas, 60c. 75c. $1.00, $1.25, $1.50
to $2.00. Deutsche Ferle, double white, Simon
Mardner, double pink, Vervaeneana, double rose
variegated (one of the best old standard varie-
ties), Pharailde Mathilda, white, rose striped,
50c, 60c, 75c, $1.00, $1.25 to $1.50. For Uter
and for Easter blooming we only Imported
the well known American varieties, such as
Mme. Vander Cruyssen, Paul Weber, Niobo. John
Llewellyn. Apollo, DeSchryveriana and a fe'n
others (the Christmas varieties also can be kept
for Easter very easily), 50c, 60c, 75c, $1.00,
$1.25, $1.80 to $2.00.

HINTS TO AZALEA BUYERS. Our azaleas
are Invoiced at the Philadelphia custom house.
10x12, 12x14, 14x16, 16x18, 18x20, 20x22. But
look, here Is the critical point. If we should
sell azaleas by measurement, and then ship them
to buyers under measurement given to the custom
house, most of the parties would not accept
them. Azaleas are not grown In a mould, all
differ in size under the same measurement. One
party expects a big bunch for bis money, another
is satisfied with a medium size; some parties
take their measurements differently from others
and measure 12 In. head for 8 . or 10 In. A
medium size azalea, full of buds. Is certainly
worth as much as a large unshapely one with only
a few buds. Therefore we use our own Judgment
in selling azaleas; we price them according to
their appearance. We do Justice to all by giving
them good value for their money without giving
them the measurements. For example, you send
us 50c, 60c, 75c, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 or more, you
shall get the full value for your money. But
look. Brother, the importing of azaleas is no more
profitable, fully 50 to 60% Is paid on their arrival
for duty, freight, hauling (packing charges, $2.00
to $2.50 for every 100 azaleas), duty on packing,
etc., our free packing here, and our employees
want their money on Saturday; therefore the
running of our business costs money. So, kindly
excuse us If we ask you to send check with the
order as we absolutely dare not run any chances
with Imported goods like azaleas, on which there
is so little profit. Only old customers of long
standing are excused. The rule applies to both
dormant and blooming asaleas.

EL PASO, ILL.

The El Paso Carnation Co., Inc., has
for its officers: President, Dr. E. E.
Gordon; treasurer, L. K. Evans; secre-
tary and general manager, C. L. W.
Snyder. The establishment now con-
sists of eleven greenhouses, containing
about 30,000 square feet of glass. Three
of the houses, each 30x100, are in car-
nations. One of the same size is in
roses and one in chrysanthemums. An-
other house is used for violets, one for
palms and ferns and another for pot
stock. The remaining houses are used
for sweet peas and miscellaneous ma-
terial for the retail trade. The busi-
ness is in its seventh year. Mr. Sny-
der, who is a stockholder as well as
manager, has been with the establish-
ment since the plant was started, origi-
nally with three houses. The retail
e&d of the business has increased rap-
idly, especially in the last two years.
Eecently the heating system has been
almost entirely remodeled, and a 6-inch
Davis pressure regulator installed, so
that now an unvarying pressure is had
in the steam coils, regardless of how
boiler pressure varies. A workroom
14x90, with a concrete floor, extends
across the ends of three houses, with a
propagating house at the north of the
workroom. The plant is lighted by
electricity, using forty Tungsten lamps.
Water is taken from the gutters into
a concrete reservoir 8x8x52, also under
glass, having a capacity of 1,000 bar-
rels. A heavy plank platform covers
the reservoir and on it the boarders
are kept. A private siding enables
coal to be unloaded directly from the
cars into the bunkers.

Mr. Snyder also is florist for the
T. P. & W. R. R., his division extend-
ing across the state from Sheldon to
Hamilton. He is responsible for the
flower beds at the station grounds
along the line.

Battle Creek, Mich. — Joseph Case and
W. Kleckner have opened a flower store
at 179 West Main street. Though both
members of the firm are young men,
they do not lack experience in the
trade. Mr. Case spent two years in the
employ of the H. A. Fisher Co., in this
city. The new store will be known as
the Flower Shop.

We are arrowing all our Kentias above 6-inch size in neat C«dar Tuba, made especially for us, with electric wire hoops, painted Krmmn,
These tubs cost several times the price of pots, but we sell the plants at the same price as though grown in pots. The buyer has the
advantage of receiving his plants without breakage of pots and in handsome tubs in which they have become well established and in which
they will continue to do better than in pots. ^

When In Philadelphia be sure to Look Us Up.

We are easily reached— only 26 minutes from Reading Terminal, 12th and Market Streets, Philadelphia. We have fine train service — fifty
trains each way every week day— so you can suit your own convenience, both going and coming. When you will see our palms of all
■lzoa« from 2^-inch pots to 12-inch tubs. We are strong on Deoorattv* Palma, in 7-inch, 9-inch and 12-inch tubs (made-up or single
plants), which we can supply in any quantity. All our Palms are bome-sroTen (not an imported plant on the place) and well established
in the tubs. They are strong and healthy.

With increased glass devoted to Palms, our stock is muoh larcer than mvmr b«for« and never in better oondltlon.

PAN8IKS. ^°

PANSY PARK PERFECTION is the most thor-
onghbred strain of giant show and fancy pansles,
the flowers of largest size and most perfect
form. I have made growing of pansy seeds and
plants a specialty for nearly 40 years, and It Is
the result of many years of breeding and selec-
tion. It also contains every variety introduced
by foreign growers up to date. Special attention
to long distance orders. Lowest express rates
and delivery in good condition guaranteed to any
part of the country. Some of many testimonials:
"I had 3000 of your Pansy Park Perfection pansy
plants last fall. They began to bloom in Febru-
ary, and from then on were a sight; Immense
blooms, wonderful coloring and great variation.
Shall want at least 10,000 for next fall and
possibly more of the same giant mixture." F. B.
Peckham, Norwlck, Conn. "Pensy plants are
strong, sturdy, well rooted; have bought of you
for the last four years and never saw such a va-
riety of colors. I used to buy the very best seeds
and plants possible, but have never had any to
equal yours." C. C. Wonneman, Mexico, Mo.
An immense stock of fine field-grown plants from
seed sown thinly, broadcast, so that each plant
has plenty of room to grow stocky and strong,
with extra good roots. Over 75 varieties mixed,
the reds, bronzes and best fancy sorts in large
proportion, 1000, $3.00; 500, $1.75; 5000, $14.00;

TRAVIS GREENHOUSE ROCKER GRATES

For hard, continuous, economical firing, with a small amount
of attention, use the Travis Rocker Grates. It is no longer
necessary to experiment with rocker grates. Your neighbor can
tell you what make of rocker grate he has and you can quickly
decide where you can get a rocker grate that will, or will not,
answer your purpose. Let us send you names of customers who
are now using our grates. The best advertisement is a satisfied
customer. We want our grates to tell their own story. We have
proven to many greenhouse operators that they have been wasting time, patience and fuel, while using eittier stationary or poorly
constructed rocker grates. There is nothing gained in neglecting your grates, which are the vital point of your range. Every cold
winter night your mind is centered on your fire. What is the condition of your grates? Can you control them? We guarantee

that you will feel confident of getting the very best results obtainable when using our grates... _.^ i.

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.

SIZE OF BOILER.

Kindly let me know what would be
the necessary horse-power of a tubular
steam boiler to heat 25,000 square feet
of glass here, in central Illinois.

E. R.

The size of the boiler will vary with
the temperature desired. While one
rated at fifty horse-power would answer
when 45 to 50 degrees is needed, it will
be advisable to have at least sixty
horse-power if a temperature of 60 de-
grees is to be maintained, and the ca-
pacity of the boiler should be propor-
tionately increased for higher tempera-
tures. '

AMOUNT OF RADIATION.

Will you kindly let me know the
number of square feet of radiation re-
quired for a plant house having ap-
proximately 5,000 square feet of glass?
The house measures 40x60 and the ridge
is about twenty-five feet above the
floor. Steam heat will be used, under
about five pounds of pressure. The pip-
ing will consist of wrought-iron pipe
coils, made of IVt-inch pipe, with the
coils one pipe high. A temperature of
70 degrees inside is desired, and this
should be maintained when the outside

U

-rX*'

will add to the ef-
ficiency of Your
Heating System
and Reduce Your
Coal Bills.

To keep steam coils
drained of condensation
leaves full area of pipes
for the transmission
of heat — hence more
efficient heating sys-
tem. To automatically return that con-
densation directly to the boiler before its valuable heat is lost
makes for a more efficient boiler. "Detroit" Traps do both.
Bulletin No. 326- WF tells how it is done. Yours upon request.

Where There Is Cofldensation

— there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. Condensation in
steam lines is akin to matter out of place — means wasted energy.
If your lines are sluggish — if your houses are not of uniform
temperature, write us. We guarantee to drain your lines per-
fectly— return the pure, hot condensation to your boiler without
pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. Obey that
impulse — write now.

The Roriste' Review

NOTHMBBR 21, 1912.

ATLANTA, GA.

It is a pleasure to send in a report
of the Atlanta market, for the reasoil
that, as Queen City of the South, her
name is synonymous with progress, and
we have a right to be proud of our
flower people — they are second to none.

The Atlanta Floral Co. has had an
especially busy week. Their fine lot
of carnations has enabled them to cut
about two months earlier than in pre-
vious seasons. They are much grati-
fied with the Dolly Dimple chrysan-
themum; its color, size and keeping
qualities recommend it to the trade.

The demand for roses for fall wed-
dings and -other social affairs has been
cared for by the C. A. Dahl Co., whose
fine cuttings of these flowers are well
known.

W. A. Hollingsworth reports a con-
siderable increase in his business. Re-
cently a shipment of carnations was
sent to Jacksonville, Fla., by this
house, for a reception given in that
city.

To meet the increasing demands of
trade, the Alto- Vista Floral Co. has
added another greenhouse and in-
stalled an $800 boiler. These improve-
ments indicate that they are well satis-
fied with their success.

The West View Floral Co. has a fine
lot of carnations and reports a heavy
demand for all stock, especially for
chrysanthemums. No less than 5,000
large yellow chrysanthemums were sup-
plied by this firm for the golden wed-
ding celebration of Col. and Mrs.
Robert J. Lowry, of this city.

The Nunnally Co. has had all it could
do to meet demands.

Mr. Wachendorff, of Wachendorff
Bros., says the fine weather has helped
things out right along with them.

J. P. Matthiessen does a nice busi-
aess on the Circle.

The foregoing items of news only
give a slight idea of what Atlanta
florists are doing to sustain the reputa-
tion of their progressive city by their
splendid manner of handling an ever
growing market. Neighboring cities,
too, now recognize that Atlanta's
flowers not only can be secured when
needed, but are among the finest.

M. B. W.

Dixmont, Pa. — Carl Becherer, florist
at the Dixmont Hospital, reports that
the foundations have been laid on the
hospital grounds for a new greenhouse,
25x100, of LfOrd & Burnham construction.

THE SOIL CARRIER IN USE.

SAVES TIME, LABOR \ MONEY

We call your attention to our Gravity Carriers for conveying soil into and out of
greenhouses. You are aware of the great amount of labor necessary for changing the
loam in your benches. It requires but a few feet of our Gravity Carriers to reduce
this expense.

Carriers are made in eight and four foot sections, which can be instantly Joined ;
the rollers are of the best seamless steel tubing, ball bearing, and are 14 inches in length
by 2H inches in diameter. Cut shows how they operate.

A run of carrier is set up with one end projecting through a window and a cart
containing the loam is placed at this end. The loam is shoveled into the boxes, which
are pushed or conveyed by gravity into the house and dumped into the benches. Empty
boxes are pushed back to cart over same run of carrier. When the beds within a con-
venient radius are filled, the carrier is set up at another window and the work contin-
ues until all benches are filled. For removing soil the process is, of course, similar.

We shall be pleased to furnish further details relative to construction and dura-
bility of the carriers: also, upon receipt of information relative to size of your green-
houses, furnish an estimate of the cost of a system for your requirements.

MILWAXTKEE.

The Market.

Business last week was fully as good
aa for the week previous, and the
opening days for this week were rush-
ing. The weather, which is ideal, un-
doubtedly helps stimulate trade to some
extent, although social functions have
been the order of the day for a fort-
night. In commenting on the supply
of cut flowers for Thanksgiving, from
all appearances, if the weather stays
bright and the nights cold, the supply
in all lines will come up to the demand,
no matter how brisk that may be. The
quality, too, will be fine.

Various Notes.

With the A. F. Kellner Co. it never
rains but it pours. All are busy as
bees trying to finish up outside plant-
ing and other outdoor work, but a good
demand for interior decorations is
claiming considerable time.

J. M. Fox & Son are working on the
details for the decorations for the an-
nual Charity Ball, to take place Decem-
ber 3 at the Auditorium. This is one
of the main social functions of the sea-
son, and creates a good demand for cut
flowers and decorative stock.

From the M. A. McKenney Co. comes
the report of a busy week. It is
claimed that the firm has had its share
of business for the season thus far.

As no one has heard from either Mr.
or Mrs. C. C. Pollworth, who are on
their annual hunting trip, they must
be having the time of their lives. They
were expected back Tuesdav, Novem-
ber 19.

Fred Holton, of the Holton & Hunkel
Co., could not break away from St.
Paul till two days after the flower
show. He reports a fine exhibition and
the hospitality still finer.

Mrs. J. T. Hinchliff and Mrs. Miller,
both of Bacine, Wis., were up last week
to take up the matter of their Thanks-
giving supply.

A. Reinhard, of North Milwaukee,
successor to A. Groth, is cutting carna-
tions and Bonnaffons which are of fine
quality. The place never looked better.

E. O.

The Holton & Hunkel Greenhouse Co.
has increased its capital from $50,000
to $125,000.

Fekin, lU. — William Schantz has
completed his new greenhouse and has
stocked it with lettuce and carnations.

For Ornamentalness
No Greenhouse Equals the U-Bar

At a glance that's apparent. The reason is
the U-bar. To put it another way: you can
put a gold-plated harness on a heavy draft
horse and hitch him to a swell little runabout
—but with all his trappings he ambles along
draft-horse fashion just the same. So, by the
ThitittheU-Bar same token, putting a curved eave on a green-
ma k'efu'-fi'ar ho^s® •iocs not make it a U-Bar curved eave
Greenhouse's the house. A U-Bar house is distinctly different,
famous green- and it's the U-Bar that makes it so. Send for
house, they are. ^^^ catalogue and find out just why.

Another Progressive Peiiiifylyania Florist Concern Recommends L. & B.

"We built several of the ordinary wood and glass houses ten
years ago and they already show their agre. but the four Lord &
Burnham Semi-Iron houses built three years ago have not even
besrun to show the smallest signs of wear.

"The sash hinged at the ridge gives us a better air circulation
and is less subject to strain in a high wind.

"We are more than pleased to give our good word for the
Lord & Burnham construction."

' BUY CHIFFONS KOW

By purchasing Chiffons now, you are making a good investment.

Weaving and silk prices have advanced, and there are strong
indications of further advances. .

Owing to our ample preparations and foresight, we are still
booking orders at low prices.

By ordering now, you obviate the evident prospect of paying,
considerably more later.

Remember, whether you order ribbons or chiffons, our policy is
" The same goods for less money, or more goods for the same
money."

A large Cleveland department store has 8 Elec-

streets. In December, 1911, 247 deliveries were made daily,
the actual cost for each package delivered being but 2.7 cents

with a 1000-lb. Electric. It did 21.!) per cent more work, at
practically the same cost of operation.

What One Company Did

The Ward Bread Co. operates 200 Electric
Delivery Wagons in Greater New York. The aver-
age cost of operation per mile per vehicle during the unfavor-
able weather from January to March, 1912, was $.0466. The
efficiency was 98-83/100 per cent— and this durini; winter!

Electrics in Widespread Use

Everywhere you will find Electrics where cost

is considered and swift, sure and silent delivery is
wanted. The Adams Express Company, the American Ex-
press Company, Marshall Field & Co., Carson, Pirie, Scott &
Co., Gimbel Brothers are all using Electrics with great suc-
cess and are putting more and more of them into service.

THE ART OF FLOWER
<^ ARRANGEMENT c»e

By FRED C. W. BROWN

THE CONVENTIONAL IN ART.

Its Rules and Limitations.

We meet with many different styles
of designs, and designers, in our work.
We find one store where loose and airy
work is always turned out, no matter
what the design, and in another place
we find only close and severe outline.
It makes little difference which form of
work you get your trade accustomed to,
or what may be your manner of ar-
rangement, so long as you retain pro-
portion, whether in a natural cluster or
a conventional design.

Just here we should like to define the
word "conventional."

Wbat Is a Conventional Design?

By a conventional design we mean a
design that embodies in its detail a
principle of accurate proportion. Thus,
a wreath is a complete circle, and if it
is divided into halves, the two parts
will be found to be equal in a general
way. A square, also, is conventional,
for it is composed of four straight lines
of equal length, joined together so that
the points are at equal distances within
the line of a circle. A triangle is the
same, only that the lines and points are
three, as the name implies, instead of
four.

Then let us remember that if we are
portraying some conventional design,
we must not wander too far away from
our original form.

Mr, Brown will be pleased to answer, as this
series of articles progresses, any criticisms or
questions that may occur to his readers. The
first article of the series was printed in the issue
of October 10. The next installment will appear
in an early issue.

The Inner and Outer. Circles,

In the illustration on the next page
we see a wreath that has been built
all out of proportion, though the con-
ventional lines have been retained.
The inner circle is far too small; there
is too great a difference between the
inner and outer circles. The eye is
pleased with the outer line, but between
its generous size and the small inner
space the difference is so great as to
cause a lack of harmony. If we try the
effect of greater inner space, as shown
in the upper picture on page 13, thus
commanding more respect for our
smaller circle, we shall find the story
much better told and the mind is not
taxed to make the connection between
such extreme differences.

The observance of such principles is
at the foundation of your work. Build
well your foundation, for on this de-
pends the success of your finished ar-
ticle.

An Unfortunate Tendency,

There seems, unfortunately, at the
present time to be a tendency to overdo
work, and many of our designers be-
lieve they have reached the height of
perfection when they have taken the

wire shape of some standard form and
so covered it that it is necessary to se-
cure the services of an interpreter to ex-
plain its meaning. We hear, in defense,,
that this is "the modern method."
But you are not dealing with modern
principles; you may be dealing with
modern interests or high lights, but the-
principles of your foundation are as old
as the understanding of art by man.
Your form is conventional, and while
you use the conventional form for your
foundations you must retain its prin-
ciples.

Unrecognizable Without a Label.

What Is a Conventional Design?

By a conventional design avc mean a
design that embodies in its detail a
principle of accurate proportion. Thus,
;i wreath is a complete circle, and if it
IS divided into halves, the two parts
will be found to be equal in a general
way. A square, also, is conventional,
for it is comjiosed of four straight lines
lit equal length, joined together so that
The points are .at equal distances within
the line of a circle. .V triangle is the
>anie, only tiiat the lines and [loints are
ihrcc, as till' name implies, instead of
four.

portraying sdine conxcnt ional design,
wi- must not wander too far .-iwiiy I'l-uni
"'w Miiyinal form.

Mr. Brown will be pleased to answer, as this
series of articles progresses, any criticisms or
questions that may occur to his readers. The
first article of the series was printed in tlie issue
of October 10. The next installment will appear
in an early issue.

The Inner and Outer Circles.

In the illustration on the next page
we see a wreath th.it has lieeii l)uiit
all out of iiro2)0ition, though the con
\entional lines lia\(^ been retained.
The inner circle is fai' too small; there
is too great a difference between the
inner and outer circles. The eye is
]ileased with the outer line, but between
its generous size and the snuill inner
space the difference is so great as to
(•aust! a lai'k of harmony. If W(> try the
etfect of greater innei- sjiat'e, as shown
in the upper ])icture on jiage J/., thus
commanding more respect for oui-
smaller circle, we shall lind the story
much better told arul the mind is not
taxed to make the connection between
such extreme differences.

iit the foundation of your work. Build
well your foundation, for on this <le-
pcnds the success of your finished ar

The Florists' Review

NOVEMBBB 28, 1012.

remember that you can carry art into
this work and help a great deal in re-
moving its objectionable features.

The Odd Fellows' Design.

The Odd Fellows' design shown in
the first of the three illustrations con-
tains many redeeming features. In the
first place, the intricate reproductions
of emblems and badges are shown to
much better advantage and with
greater profit by outlining them on
some such arrangement as a panel. We
should like you to note the ribbon with
its lettering, which seems about the
most pleasing way of supplying the too
prevailing demand for lettering on
designs.

Just a few words about ribbons: Rib-
bons are of a wonderful value in our
business, but it seems to the writer that
if a few of us could realize that ours
is a business of flowers and not for the
advancement of millinery accessories,
it would be to our decided advantage.

I should like to warn you as to the
use of letters on designs. Personally,

ture that had been selected and allow
the use of a single line. The quotation
chosen was, "Lord, she was thine,"
which was duly put on the ribbon by
the use of the usual stick-on letters.
In the delivery the moisture got in its
work, and the piece arrived at its des-
tination minus the "e" in "thine."
The explanations that followed were
never quite satisfactory.

Fred C. W. Brown.

GOING THE LIMIT.

Of course it is a neat plan of the
retail florist to please the customer by
delivering with an auto — within a rea-
sonable distance — but when the cus-
tomer appreciates such service to the
extent of asking over a 100-mile drive,
that 's when it comes pretty near to
being the limit. The other day our
firm, in order to please a good cus-
tomer, had to send the delivery auto
from Toledo to Bryan, O., a distance
of fifty-six miles along the railroad
line, each way, making a record drive
of 112 miles, to deliver flowers to a

the writer thinks letters in bad taste,
but competition compels us to do many
things we would prefer not to do.

A Story of a Lost Letter.

I should also like to warn you against
the use of letters on ribbons, or you
might find yourself in the plight of the
Pennsylvania florist who had a call
from a deputation of ladies who de-
aired to order a wreath for one of their
number who had passed away. After
considerable argument, they were per-
suaded to cut down the verse of Scrip-

funeral. The absurdity of the distance
was oflFset only by some parcels which
could be dropped off en route, at the
towns of Swanton, Archbold and El-
mira. If this keeps up, let us go back
to the use of the horse and wagon for
delivery. Walter Imoberstag.

BEAUTIES ON THE TABLE.

Every now and then a customer in-
sists on having American Beauty roses
and nothing else on the table. The
accompanying illustration shows how it

may be done on a comparatively small
table with good effect. It is the work
of John Mangel, Chicago. He placed
his flowers in a sufficiently tall vase to
carry the mass of the decoration above
the eyes of those seated at the table.
This necessitated a decoration on the
cloth, and to prevent overdecorating
this was confined to one long-stemmed
Beauty extending from the center, with
the flower facing each plate.

THE AMERICAN SHOWS.

It was with keen interest that an
exhibitor at many English shows for
the first time visited an American
show, the horticultural exhibition at
Toronto, and perhaps it may interest
some of your readers for me to say how
it impressed me, and where I thought
it weak compared with some of the
good shows in the Old Country. The
entrance, artistic in design, and the
beautiful buildings enclosed in well
composed and laid out grounds, all go
to make an excellent place for such a
purpose. On entering the exhibition
building itself the same feeling occurs,
and those who are interested ought to
feel happy to find such a place as a
setting for their exhibits.

In the floral exhibits I felt the most
disappointed. There was not the com-
petition I had expected to find, and,
speaking in general of all the exhibits,
they seemed to be so carelessly staged
that they were not made to look nearly
so attractive as they might have been.
I refer to the competitive classes
mostly. Again, by separating a class
by putting a vase on one bench and a
vase in the same class on another
bench, it made it impossible to follow
the awards, losing much interest. Some
of the exhibits certainly possessed
much merit; the floral designs appeared
to me strikingly attractive. These were
not given the space or position, to my
thinking, to do them the justice they
deserved. Boses might have been made
much more attractive if they had been
staged lower, so that there would not
be the risk of injuring the neck in try-
ing to see the flowers instead of looking
at the long, prickly stems and ugly
vases. The same applies in some ways
to the mums, for on the day of my
visit the lower petals were not the
most pleasing part of them. I cer-
tainly prefer mums in vases to boxes,
but if they are to please those who pay
to go and see them, they should be
made to look as attractive as possible.
In the Old Country, arrangement is the
deciding factor.

Carnations I never saw look less
pleasing, perhaps owing to the vases
being unsuitable, but a good lot could
have been done in better arrangement
and staging.

Seeing this was a fruit and flower
exhibition, decorated tables might have
had fruit introduced with great advan-
tage.

It struck me as rather curious having
different sized tables, some with cloths,
some without. I wondered if exhibitors
had to find their own tables and if the
prize was enticing enough. The flower
trade does not seem to have that keen-
ness for putting up a creditable exhibit
that the shows in the old land do; they
are helped and made attractive by firms
that consider it one of the best ways
to make and gain business. Fruit ap-
peared to me to be the most progres-
sive. Perhaps the plate fruit was tiio
most pleasing to the eye. If prizes

Brampton, Ont. A. A. Elliott,

PBIlfULA OBCONICA.

Can yon give me any light on the
following through the columns of The
-Review? _ Last February I planted
some Primula obconica seeds. The
plants are rather backward, but are
showing a good, sturdy growth at the
jiresent time. A number of them are
in 4-inch and 4%-inch pots, but none
of them are showing any signs of buds.
Does obconica ever come blind? Is
there anything I can do to improve
matters? W. B.

Plants in the size of pots mentioned
should certainly now be throwing some
Howers. I have not had any experience
with obconicas coming blind, and be-
lieve that while occasional plants might
<lo so, it would be most unlikely in an
ontire batch. There is a small, dark
worm, closely resembling a cutworm,
which for several years has attacked
and eaten the hearts out of large quan-
tities of these plants. This worm works
little on the foliage, and its damage
might go unnoticed unless the hearts
<>t the plants are examined. I have an
uiea this may be responsible for the
condition of your plants. The worm
in question gets in its work mostly in
•'"Jy and August, and frequent hand
picking, as well as dusting air-slaked

lime about the crowns of the plants and
between the pots, is necessary to keep
the damage to a minimum. I have
also found that spraying the plants
with nicotine once a week works well.
Your plants will no doubt flower, but

will be a little late. Give them a tem-
perature of 45 to 50 degrees at night
and, if the pots are well filled with
roots, use liquid manure once in four
or five days. C. W.

DIQITAUS.

Do you know of any place where digi-
talis, the foxglove, is grown for its
leaves for drug purposes? What of
their value in that way? Does the
trade expect to buy the plants in sep-
arate colors? Does it come true to
color from seed? V. K. F.

I do not know of any special place
where digitalis leaves are grown for
medicinal purposes. Large quantities
of second-year leaves are, however,
used for narcotic and other purposes.
While the trade would no doubt prefer
to have the colored and white digitalis
offered separately, the colors harmonize
so well that a good mixture of gloxinise-
flora or Ivory's spotted is just as satis-
factory in nearly every way as the sep-
arate varieties would be. C. W.

OBNAMENTAI. GRASSES.

A friend in Mississippi will send me
all the ornamental grasses I want, free,
excepting freight charges. Would the
kinds hardy in Mississippi transplant
to northern Indiana and grow? If so,
at what time would it be best to trans-
plant, considering the difference in our
seasons? Is the grass propagated by
divisions? If it is best to transplant it
at this season, could it be shipped by
freight if well packed? V. R, F.

Some of the ornamental grasses, such
as eulalias, would probably be hardy
in your state. Not knowing the varie-
ties, I could not give a decided opinion.
Spring would be the best time to plant
these outdoors, carrying them over win-
ter in boxes in a cold house, cellar or
frame. They should come along safely
by freight, if . carefully packed.

SEASONABLE NOTES.

Vanda Oserulea.

Vanda cserulea should now be giving
a nice lot of flowers. Do not keep it
too warm; 55 to 58 degrees at night is
sufficient. The plants flower better
when: given a position near the glass.
Do not try to have them all a dark
green color. It is usually the pale
colored plants which flower the best.
When the flowers are well expanded,
stand them where they will not get the
sun's rays, as these will soon take
away the beautiful blue color from the
flowers.

Cyprlpedlums.

A close, moist atmosphere suits
nearly all of the cypripediums. C.
Spicerianum and a few other sorts are
better kept at the cooler end of the
house, but the family as a whole suc-
ceeds best in a rather stuffy atmos-
phere. C. insigne and its many va-
rieties will now be coming into season;
so also will C. Leeanum and a wealth
of other varieties, and the most inter-
esting period of the year with these
is now at hand. Cypripediums never
require any real resting, but it is now
necessary to reduce the water supply
somewhat.

Laelia Anceps.

Lselia anceps will soon be in flower,
as will L. antumnalis. Some spikes on
the latter are already open. Such as
can be floweied for Gnristmas . will '
make fancy ' prices, as orchid 'bloonril
apart frova^ cypripediums are usually
scarce at* .that time. The MeJ^foan
Iselias ' should be grown at th* spider*
end of the cattleya house, although
they do well in even an ordinary green-
house.

Phalaenopsis.

The phalaenopsis should be kept in a
close, moist atmosphere, and air, when
applied, should be given in chinks, so
that it may be well warmed before
reaching the plants. Be careful, as
fire heat is used more freely, not to
have any spots in the house where red
spider can get a foothold. Sponge the
leaves occasionally with soap and
water.

Dendrobiums.

Many of the nobiles and hybrids,
such as Ainsworthii, splendidissimum,
Cybele, chrysotoxum and others, will
now be resting in a bright, sunny
house. On some of the earliest the
nodes will now be quite prominent and
such plants can be moved into a warm,
moist house. Be careful, however, to
water sparingly at the roots until the
nodes dre well advanced, or many will
make growths instead of flowers.

Odontoglossums.

Full sunshine is what the odonto-
glossums need for the next three
months. The leaves should take on a
reddish hue and will then stand the
hot summers better than if held over
winter in a dark, cold house. Do not
keep them too cool; 55 degrees at night
is better for them than 45 degrees.
Give a fair supply of water at the
roots and give a light spraying over
on clear mornings.

Coelogyne Cristata.

Coelogyne cristata wants a cool house
all the time. It is no use trying to
force it, any more than trying to force
violets or mignonette. A temperature
of 50 to 55 degrees at night should not
be exceeded and it will flower well
grown 10 degrees cooler. As the flower
spikes become prominent at the bases
of the new bulbs, gradually decrease

the water supply, but a light spraying
once a week will be beneficial.

Cattleya PercivaUana.

Cattleya Percivaliana is of small size
compared with labiata and Trianse. It
sells well, however, at Christmas and
for two or three weeks before that
time, and as many plants as possible
should be kept back until then. If
flowered late, when C. Trianso is in sea-
son, C. Percivaliana is hard to move.

Cattleya Trianse.

Cattleya Trianee enjoys a little more
heat than labiata and can have the
warmer end of the house, with C.
Dowiana and C. gigas. A few flowers
are already opening and others are
well advanced in the sheaths. It is
the early blooms, expanded before the
new year, which bring the best prices.
There is usually an oversupply later in
the season.

THE BASKET OF MUMS.

The accompanying illustration shows
a willow basket filled with Mrs. H. W.
Buckbee chrysanthemum, looped from
handle to handle with American Beauty
ribbon and with a bow of the same
ribbon on the side. It was the work of
H. G. Evans, now of Spokane, "Wash.

spikes are cut long and close to the
ground. In such case^ while the plants
may make up fairly gotySi bulbs, they
will not flower so satisfactorily as those
which have been grown outdoors, and
which did not have their spikes and
foliage cut back hard. Gladioli may be
planted in the greenhouse any time
after December 1. They like a night
temperature of 50 degrees, but can be
grown warmer, and it might pay you
to plant some in place of your most
unpromising roses. The same soil will
do for them. Some of the best sorts to
grow are: America, Shakespeare,
Brenchleyensis, Mrs. F. King, May and
Augusta. The small bulbed sorts, such
as The Bride, Peach Bossom, Blushing
Bride, etc., mostly varieties of G.
nanus, are ready to plant as early as
October 1, and start to grow much
earlier than the large bulbed ones.

FOEOING PUSSY WILLOWS.

Will you tell me if I can force pussy
willows in a greenhouse for winter sale
from November 25 on and about what
price a bunch could I expect f Sample
of willow enclosed. S. S. H.

The shoots of several of the salix or
willows can be easily forced and opened
in a warm, moist greenhouse. All that
is necessary is to stand them in jars or
tubs of fresh water. The shoots, how-
ever, will not expand well if started
thus early. It will be better to wait
until Christmas before starting them.
The price per bunch is hard to give;
it depends on local conditions. C. W.

ing is attached. Of course this style
of lettering is not new; probably it is
not even particularly uncommon, but it
is a little less common — not to say
commonplace — than much of the let-
tering that is seen in the ordinary run
of trade. Perhaps it may furnish some
slight suggestion for some workman
who has exhausted his own ingenuity
in devising ways of avoiding monot-
ony. The makers of this design say
that the purchaser of it objected to
the stereotyped manner of "pasting
the letters on ribbon," and wanted
something different; so the letters,
which are gilt, wero fastened to the
cycas leaves. The other materials used
were pink and white roses, white alys-
sutn, maidenhair ferns and asparagus.

A GOOD BROKEN WHEEL.

The accompanying illustration is re-
produced from a photograph of a design
made by the Archias Floral Co., Seda-
lia. Mo. The broken wheel is a diffi-
cult design to do well. Unless made as
a fairly large piece, the outlines are
likely to be obscured through the use
of too much material. In this case the
outlines were well preserved and the
character of the piece and its message
could not be mistaken. The stock used
was principally roses, marguerites, sweet
peas and maidenhair fern.

TIME TO PLANT GLADIOLI.

How soon can I plant gladiolus bulbs
that are left from last summer's crop
under glass? They were fine flowers,
and I have a nice lot of bulbs.

der glass "are not to be recommended

A BED ROSE PEST.

I am writing to you hoping I may
obtain some information regarding a
small worm which is bothering us a
great deal on our Bhea Reid roses. The
worm is no larger than the head of a
pin, and is white. Under a microscope
it has a black stripe down the center
of the back, and has the appearance of
a leaf roller. The destructive work of
this worm is on the young buds. From
my observation, it sucks the tissues in
the buds, turning them black, and they
finally drop off. I am at a loss for an
explanation of this worm. My idea is
that they have been brought into the
house in the manure, which was put in
the house about six weeks ago. The
treatment I have given the plants was
to cut off all affected parts, remove the
mulch, spray with nicotine and sprinkle
lime on the soil. I hope I may receive
some help through the paper.

W. J. V.

In 1900 to 1904 we had on several places
in and around Chicago a small worm
attacking Meteor and American Beau-
ties, the action of which was about the
same as the one mentioned in this letter.
It was found mostly in old houses and
near wet and swampy places and de-
cayed vegetable matter. The worm
when full grown was nearly as large
as a pinhead, and in looking through
a microscope enlarging 100 diameters
we found about ten to twenty of these
worms on one bud, the smallest about
as large as the largest was under the
naked eye. The fly which laid the eggs
from which these worms or larvae were
hatched was so small that when walk-
ing along the walk in a greenhouse
badly infested with them they would
rise from a puddle like a small cloud of
(lust. It was impossible to destroy
them.

The entomologists from the- State
Agricultural College at Urbana experi-
mented with this insect for some time
to try to find out its habits and to find
a remedy. They found that after plac-
ing some of these worms in alcohol for
seventy-two hours they were still alive,
and as far as I know they were unable
to find a sure destroyer, and those
places that were affected by this insect
found their only salvation was to dis-
continue growing those varieties of
ros^a that were attacked by this insect.

'Wg did .,not have Rhea Reid at that
time, but ' all* roses that were affected
by the worm were red, so this may be
the same in this case. As we foun

that as soon as cold weather came we
had no more trouble with this insect,
the subscriber may be over his troubles
by this time, but as soon as the warm
weather comes in the spring they will
surely be there unless they can be ex-
terminated during the winter. I Would
suggest that the house in which the
trouble is, and the houses on each side,
be thoroughly cleaned and any wet
place filled up so that no water can
stand anywhere to get stagnant and
become a breeding place for the insect.
If ,that does not help, quit growing
Rhea Reid, for if this is the same insect
the Chicago growers h^d, the grower
will get no flowers from his plants in
warm weather. And for the interest of
your brother florists, don't sell any
stock of it until you are sure that the
trouble is over, for I have seen six or
eight houses 200 feet long affected by
this insect and without a flower during
the whole summer. W. J. Keimel.

BOOTING BOSE CUTTINGS.

We should like to know whether it
is profitable to grow hard-wood cuttings
of roses in benches and what degree of
bottom heat they would require.

R. N. C.

Tea and hybrid tea roses can be read-
ily and cheaply rooted on greenhouse
benches. Keep the house at 60 degrees
or a little less and furnish 10 degrees

of bottom heat. Cuttings of hybrid
perpetual roses can be made in the fall
and inserted in boxes of sand. These
should be kept in a coldframe until
about a month before the beginning of
the period of growth, when they should
be brought gradually into heat. Tea
and hybrid tea roses can also be han-
dled in this way, unless early plants
for forcing are desired. T.

A BEGINNEB'S TBOUBLES.

I should like to ask your advice about
my roses. I have had some rather bad
luck with my plants, and we followed
the advice of one of the local florists
and I think it was all wrong. My
plants could not have been finer when
I cut them back this fall. Ten days
later they were throwing out the nicest
kind of foliage, but when they were
in full leaf we did not have the house
all enclosed and could not keep the tem-
perature right, so we got some mildew.
I used sulphur and got everything regu-
lated and I think they would have
come out all right, but this florist came
along and advised us to pick off the
leaves. I did not think it best, but
my adviser did, so he picked them
nearly all off, just leaving the bare
stems with the bud. Consequently we
shall have no good roses in this crop,
but weaklings. The stems are fine and
strong, but instead of making flowers
they are trying to make leaves and
flowers too, so there is bound to be a
dismal failure. We have in the same
house some Ward, Prince de Bulgarie
and Maryland. They are fine and have
no mildew to speak of. The others
that suffered most are Killarney, Pink
Killarney and Richmond. I wish you
would tell me what to do with them.
I am thoroughly discouraged, and I da
want a crop for Christmas. Any in-
formation you can give me will be ap-
preciated. You know we are new to
the business and have already learned
a lot by experience, which has been a
dear teacher, but all growers have a
different remedy for everything. Our
plant is steam heated and the tempera-
ture in the rose house is always 60

degrees at night. We give a little
ventilation overhead at night. The
building runs north and south.

C. B. G.

The advice to pick off the rose
foliage was not good. It is permissible
to pick off leaves here and there when
black spot appears, as it frequently
does on American Beauty, and to a
minor extent on other varieties, but to
remove all the leaves simply because
they were somewhat mildewed is un-
heard-of. This stripping of the foliage
will seriously cripple if it does not
entirely ruin the plants thus treated.
With steam pipes in the house you could
easily have cared for the mildew.

I am sorry that I cannot offer much
encouragement over the defoliated
plants. They will certainly give no
Christmas crop. All you can do is to
keep them clean, pick off any buds
they make and carry them along for a
spring crop. Your night temperature
of 60 degrees is rather high for such
sorts as Killarney and Richmond; 56
to 58 degrees would be better. You
will find that a little sulphur on the
flow or return main steam pipe will
keep the plants clear of mildew.

C. W.

TROUBLE WITH YOUNG STOCK.

Enclosed you will find a sample of
some of our rose leaves. We had ex-
actly the same trouble last year, and
will write you and perhaps some
specialist can tell us the trouble and
remedy. The plants seem to start out
well in fall, and the growth is healthy,
hut when a dark, cloudy spell comes
the new shoots seem to turn a light
green, the new growth becomes not
nearly so strong and the older leaves
turn as are the enclosed samples. We
try to be careful with watering and
keep the temperature between 56 and
00 degrees. The kinds grown are Rich-
mond, Killarney and White Killarney.

H. F. C.

Your temperatures seem to be all
light, and the foliage, which was quite
dried up when received, seemed to^t)e
free fVom both red spider and mildew.
Evidently the soil or watering, is at
fault, perhaps both. I do not know
what you are feeding with, but I have
frequently seen similar mishaps caused

by an excessive use of some stimulant,
more especially sulphate of ammonia or
nitrate of soda. If your drainage is
good, soil correct and ventilation care-
fully attended to, I should say that an
injudicious use of stimulants was the
cause of your trouble. Feeding must
be done moderately until the sun gains
in power in the new year. If you will
stick to cow manure for top-dressing
and liquid you will be on the safe side.
Also use care in top-dressing, not to
have the cow manure too fresh and
strong, or the ammonia will scorch
many leaves and cause others to drop.
It is diflScult, without knowing the soil
and other conditions, to suggest a cause,
but I think the one given is probably
the correct one. C. W.

THE GREATEST ROSARIAN.

Apropos of the question whether the
name of Dickson or that of Pernet-
Ducher should stand first among the
rose hybridizers of the day, Adolph
Farenwald, president of the American
Rose Society, says that in his opinion
Peter Lambert, of Trier, Germany, is
the peer of any rosarian. Mr. Faren-
wald mentions two roses, amon>j; others,
introduced by Mr. I^mbert, that have
proved of great public benefit. They
are Kaiserin Augusta Victoria and Frau
Karl Druschki. Mr. I'areuwaM does

not believe that any of these three
master rosarians, Dickson, Lambert or
Pernet-Ducher, can fairly claim supe-
riority over the other two; he believes
that they are all entitled to positions
in the front rank.

KIPP CAPTURES CUP.

Reference has been made in the Pa-
cific Coast Department to C. T. Kipp
having captured the silver cup offered
by the Spokane Chamber of Commerce
for the best decorated automobile in a
recent parade. Mr. Kipp is proprietor
of the Spokane Florist Co. There were
550 cars in the line, and the winning
of the trophy must have been of con-
siderable advertising value in his busi-.
ness, but what specially interests the
florists is that he used in his decoration
the ordinary stock of a retail flower
store. Note the high-handled baskets
on the running boards. Observe that
the wheels were covered with Porto
Rican mats and that the same kind of
mats were used on the lamps and to
hold the potted plants. Also, much
ribbon and chiffon was employed. The
flowers principally were dahlias and
daisies. The color harmony cannot be
shown in an illustration, but naturally
was given careful attention.

IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

At Long Beach, Cal., H. N. Lowe
started in the florists' business when
the town had only 1,200 population.
This was in 1897. The city now has
over 25,000 inhabitants, and Mr. Lowe
says business has kept pace with the
growth of the town. September 1 he
moved from his old store at 10 Pine
avenue, occupied for many years, to a
new establishment at 401 Pine avenue,
where he has a much more attractive
place and three times the floor space of
the old stores As almost always hap-
pens, the improvetl facilities have re-
sulted in a marked increase in trade
this season.

Of the accompanying illustrations,
one shows the window display at the
opening of November. The other
shows Mr. Lowe on his morning trip
from the greenhouses with stock. It
looks as though Mr. Lowe follows the
old rule of business first and pleasure
afterward, for his automobile is a tour-
ing car, not a truck. He brings down
his day's cut by auto each day, deco-

rating the hood with a big box of
flowers tied on, with other boxes on
the running boards and the tonneau
filled with the product of the green-
houses.

They call them "hothouses" in
southern California, and the green-
house-grown stock is referred to as
hothouse carnations to distinguish
them from the field-grown article. In
speaking of the output of his nursery,
Mr, Lowe says it consists of a large
assortment of flowering bulbs, hothouse
carnations, outdoor roses and carna-
tions, sweet peas, centaureas, dahlias.
Golden Glow, asters, Shasta daisies and
chrysanthemums. A large lath house
is filled with Asparagus Sprengeri, As-

paragus plumosus and smilax. In an-
other house Boston and Elegantissima
ferns, maidenhair, kentias, azaleas and
spirsBas are grown under glass.

SPECIALIZING ON SUCCESS.

E. J. Southe'-ton, at Highland Park,
111., has what he modestly describes as
"better success than the average flo-
rist" with cyclamens, so he is grad-
ually coming to specialize on cycla-
mens, having previously made a spe-
cialty of bedding plants and landscape
gardening. The accompanying illustra-
tion shows one of Mr. Southerton's
houses of cyclamens during the grow-
ing season. The plants are now coming
into fine flower.

i ^ SUGGESTIONS j

Freesias.

The earliest batch of freesias, which
are wanted in flower for Christmas or
New Year's, must now be kept in a
ni^ht temperature of 55 degrees. Any-
thing higher than this may force them
into flower a day or two earlier, but the
flowers will be much lacking in sub-
stance. A shelf is the ideal place for
them. If this is not available, a light,
sunny bench will do. It is a good plan
to elevate a pan here and there on an
inverted pot. This assures nice, stocky
plants. See that the plants are prop-
erly supported and for tying use green
twine or raffia, as it is inconspicuous.
Liquid manure once in five days, with
a good supply of water at all times, is
necessary. Also avoid giving any
heavy fumigations in the house where
they are growing, or the ends of the
flowers will turn brown.

Bomau Hyacinths.

The earliest planting of Koman hya-
cinths should now be well sprouted and
should be placed in a warm house,
where within two or three weeks the
spikes will be fully expanded. If
grown in flats, move into a cooler
house when expanded, in order to give
the flowers more substance. For a
Christmas supply it is not necessary to
house any of the plants until the be-
ginning of December, but the average
retailing florist should start a batch
once a week, as it is a useful flower to
have in making up designs.

Spiraeas,

The spirasas, or astilbes, are now at
hand. After unpacking them, soak the
roots well in a tub of water and pack
in a coldframe where they will be
exposed to some frost. It will not pay
to: start forcing these until after Christ-
mas, as they will break erratically.
Like lily of the valley, they need some
rest before they are forced. The plants
seen in flower occasionally at Christmas
are not grown from the new season's
roots, but from such as have been car-
ried over in cold storage. The varie-
ties Gladstone and astilboides flori-
bunda are fine whites, well adapted for
early forcing. These are much superior
to the old Japonica. The beautiful

peach-pink variety. Queen Alexandra,
is in habit similar to compacta multi-
flora and Gladstone, but cannot be
forced into flower as early. For Me-
morial day trade it is excellent, how-
ever.

Mignonette.

The earliest sowing of mignonette is
now giving some nice spikes, not equal
in quality to what we will have from
January to March, but still welcome on
the market at this early season. As
the roots have now permeated the bed
pretty well, a mulch of well decayed
manure, well pulverized, should be ap-
plied and, in addition, some cow or
sheep liquid manure should be given
at alternate waterings. Be sure the
plants are carefully supported, as bent
mignonette stalks are not wanted by
anyone. Also keep the weak stems
rubbed out, as well as laterals from the
flowering stems. Keep the night tem-
perature at from 40 to 42 degrees. Let
45 degrees be the absolute maximum,
and be sure never to use tobacco stems

when fumigating, as these will badly
scorch the leaves.

Storing Dahlias.

There are frequent complaints each
year of dahlia tubers failing to keep
satisfactorily. These come usually from
small growers who do not have the
specialist's conveniences for storing
roots. A cellar or cool shed, dry, with-
out artificial heat and just clear of
freezing, is what dahlias require.
Sometimes when laid on shelves they
are found to shrivel or decay, but I
have found that if each tuber is
wrapped in a piece of newspaper and
then packed in barrels, every root will
come out fresh and plump in spring. I
would suggest that growers who have
had difficulty in wintering dahlia roots
try this plan.

Irises and Gladioli.

Where irises and gladioli are not
planted in benches, as quite a few
florists prefer to grow them, this is a
good time to bring a few flats of each
into a cool house for an early crop.
These bulbs require quite a long season
as compared with tulips, narcissi or
hyacinths, for even when placed in
heat now they will not flower before
the end of March. They resent hard
forcing, and a night temperature of 45
to 50 degrees should not be exceeded.
Any of the varieties of Spanish iris
can be housed, and among the early
small-flowered gladioli, Colvillei The
Bride, Peach Blossom and Blushing
Bride are suitable to start at this
time.

Chrysanthemum Stock.

Now, when the flowering season is
nearly over, the chrysanthemum stock
plants, instead of being tucked under
the benches or in any out-of-the-way
place, should be planted in a bench
close to the light in a cold house. A
house suitable for violets, or even a
few degrees cooler, is just what they
need. Planted in rows in good loam,
carefully labeled and right under ob-
servation all the time, it is an easy mat-
ter to know what sorts are likely to
be a little short, and in such cases to
start propagation early, so as to be
able to work up an ample supply of the

real bread and butter sorts. Failing
space in a cold greenhouse, you can
plant the stock in a coldframe, but it
should be well protected in order to
exclude frost.

Show Pelargoniums.

Keep those showy spring flowering
plants, the pelargoniums, in a cold
house. They will now start to grow
quite rapidly. Keep the leading shoots
pinched back and pot along any plants
needing a shift before they become too
potbound. Use a good, fibrous loam.
Add some old cow manure, sand and
fine bone to it and ram the compost
quite firmly in the pots. Do not over-
look a spraying or fumigation once a
week, to keep aphis in check.

English Ivy.

There is always a good demand for
English ivy each year for vases, plant-
ing against walls, or for cemetery beds.
Now that fire heat is being used stead-
ily and the sand in the propagating
bench is warmer, it is a good time to
start a liberal batch of cuttings. These
will scarcely grow to such size as to
be salable the first season, but will be
heavy plants before fall if kept in pots
and plunged outdoors, and should bring
a good price the following season.
Some growers say there is no money in
growing ivy, as the demand is erratic.
There is good money in it, even if the
actual profit is not so great as on some
of the quick growing, soft-wooded bed-
ding plants, as the mere fact that a
florist has ivy will usually bring him
other business on which greater returns
may be expected.

Lorraine Begonias.

Christmas is the season when the
bulk of the winter flowering begonias
are sold, but a good many are always
disposed of before then. Where the
plants have been grown warm, it will
be a good plan to run them a little
cooler now. There will then be less
complaint of the flowers dropping when
the plants go into dry, warm and scan-
tily ventilated dwellings. All staking
should have been completed long ago.
It is now too late to do it without
damaging the plants. Olory of Cincin-

nati is more in evidence than ever this
season, and some growers talk of drop-
ping Lorraine. I think there is room
for both, but Cincinnati is easily the
better house plant of the two, the flow-
ers standing dry atmospheres far better
than the older variety.

EUONYMUS BADICAKS.

I was glad to see the article from
Wilhelm Miller in The Beview for Octo-
ber 31, on this most valuable of all
evergreen climbers. It can truly be
called hardy, as I have never seen it
injured, even with a temperature as low
as 25 degrees below zero, and it will
grow in every imaginable location and
in soil so poor that hardly any other
plant would exist in it. English ivy,
while it will winter under favorable
conditions on walls facing north, will
become badly scorched and sometimes
killed outright even in such locations in
New England, and can only be depended

upon in a moderate way. Even for
covering graves, it will become badly
browned unless boxed over or well cov-
ered with leaves when severe cold
sets in.

There is a popular misconception rcK
garding E, radicans, that it is a slow
grower. As a matter of Xact, it will
cover a wall as rapidly as English ivy.
A little over five years ago I rooted
some hundreds of cuttings, which, a
year later, were planted at the base of
the walls of a new mansion here, and
they are now fifteen to seventeen feet •
high. One wall twelve feet high was
densely covered in a little over three
years. These plants had, of course,,
good soil, and had an annual top-dress-
ing of cow manure.

For covering walls and boulders, or
using as a hedge plant, E. radicans
has no equal. The form vegetus, with
round leaves, fruits freely even on small
plants and at this season the fruits are
quite attractive. The variety Carrieri
is excellent for hedging purposes. It
also makes a neat shrub if wired to-
gether a little. It is a fact that the
common E. radicans, while it will pro-
duce small leaves for a year or two,
will later grow much coarser and fruit
. freely.

Although the propagation of this
evergreen is easy, there are still many
thousands annually imported from Eu-
rope. Cuttings taken in summer from
half ripened wood, placed in a close,
shaded coldframe and kept well
sprayed, will nearly all root, and fully
matured wood will also root in the
same way, although it takes longer.
Cuttings put in nursery rows outdoors
late in August, watered and well
pruned, will most of them root, and,
if transplanted in spring, will make
strong plants for selling the next fall.
This euonymus can be successfully
planted at any time in the year when
the ground is open. The variegated
forms are less hardy than the green
ones, and the latter are far more beau-
tiful and possess greater vigor. There
is a wonderful future before this plant,
and florists can make no mistake in
stocking up heavily on it.

November 28, 1912.

A POOR ENCHANTBESS CROP.

Under separate cover I am mailing to
you some samples of Enchantress and
Rose-pink Enchantress flowers, in dif-
ferent stages. The plants from which
these flowers were taken are grown in
solid benches, with a night temperature
of from 48 to 50 degrees. They were
planted from August 30 to September 1.
They were in prime condition at the
time of planting, and only recently
have they started to throw such poor
flowers. The stems are also becoming
weak, particularly on the Enqhantress
plants. We have had air on the houses
all the season, with the exception of a
day or two when the weather would not
permit. Any information you can give
us as to the cause of this will be
greatly appreciated. T. J. K.

The specimens forwarded did not dis-
close anything definite, except inferior-
ity in quality. Some of the petals ap-
peared to be specked by thrips, but 1
found none of the insects present.
There is evidently something wrong
with your soil or your treatment — just
which, I am unable to determine with-
out more data. The fact that your
plants were in prime condition when
planted, and the early blooms were
good, would indicate improper treat-
ment, as with proper treatment' the
quality should steadily improve until
the maximum would be reached about
the last of January. Being planted in
solid beds should make no diflference in
the results obtained.

If you will send me a few of the
plants, and some of the soil, I may be
able to assist you. Also give a detailed
account of your method of culture, tem-
peratures, etc. A. F. J. B.

FEEDING CARNATIONS.

When carnations are planted in the
benches in a rich composted soil, in
August and September, how soon is it
necessarv to begin feeding them?

G. V. W.

Your carnations should now be in a
condition to stand a little feeding. I
would prefer to apply this in the form
of a top-dressing and not use liquid
manure until the days are perceptibly
lengthening. C. W.

FEEDING AND VENTILATING.

Is it advisable to apply liquid cow
manure to my carnations? If so, how
often? Should the plants have plenty
of fresh air during the day? I am a
new man in the carnation line, as pot
plants are my specialty. P. A. K.

If your carnations are well established
and li they seem in condition to take
up some extra feed in addition to what
they have in the soil, then an occasional
application of liquid manure will do, Jio

harm, provided it is done .iudiciously.
In giving any kind of feed, always keep
in mind the season of the year, the
weather at the time and the weather
that is likely to follow. No heavy feed-
ing should be done during cloudy
weather, or more harm than good will
result.

If you are accustomed to handling
pot plants, you will be able to judge
pretty well as to the needs of your car-
nations, only let me warn you against
too much feeding until the bright days
of January and later. The carnation
loves fresh air. A. F. J. B.

CARNATION RUST.

We have had a big fight with rust
on our carnations. We have used Bor-
deaux mixture, but the trouble is still
showing a little. The plants are doing
well, but the stems are not strong

enough to hold up the flowers, which
are large and fine. ..» C. B. G.

You will find that fine air-slaked
lime, lightly dusted on the affected
plants, is one of the best possible
remedies for carnation rust. Keep the
foliage dry after applying it. Be sure
your foliage is always dry before night-
fall. Do any syringing early on the
mornings of clear days. Where plants
are damp at night, the rust is sure to
spread when once it secures a foothold.
Give the benches a light top-dressing of
lime; this will help to improve the
stems. You can also spread a fine
mulch of old manure over the surface,
but do not give the lime and manure
together. Wait a couple of weeks be-
fore applying the latter, C. W.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.

Patten & Co., of Tewksbury, Mass.,
have offered for registration their new
carnation. Princess Dagmar, which is
described as follows: Parentage, Gene-
vieve X unnamed crimson; color, deep,
bright crimson; size, three and one-
half to four inches; long, stiff stems,
which hold the flower erect at all times;
calyx seldom splits; perfectly healthy,
strong grower; average -bloomer.

A. F. J. Baur, Sec 'y.

AN OLD BED OF VALLEY.

We have bought a bed of valley that
has not been touched for years and is
a solid mat. Will you please tell us
how to force the plants, how to sepa-
rate them, etc.? S. & S.

Where lily of the valley has been
grown matted together in this way, it
is not possible to separate the indi-
vidual pips and get results equaling
those from the imported ones, which
are grown singly in the field to pre-
pare them for forcing. The best plan
will be to dig up the valley in squares,
like a piece of turf. For the earliest
forcing, keep in a darkened case until
well drawn up; then give more light.
After the middle of February you could
stand them on a bench in any warm
house where they could get some bot-
tom heat, and give them light all the
time. Damp once a day until flower
spikes appear; then discontinue doing
so.

You must not expect any such qual-
ity of flowers from these as from the
imported Berlin pips. There would
probably be fully as much money in it
for you if you prepared a bed for them
outdoors, manuring it heavily, spading
deeply, and setting the plants thinly
in rows twelve to fifteen inches apart.
This work can be done now, before
the ground freezes up. After the plant-
ing, if you decide to plant outside, give
a mulching of straw or leaves to pre-
vent freezing and thawing, which
would hoave out the plants. . C. W.

VALLEY FOR CHRISTMAS.

The new pips of lily of the valley are
here, but these should not be used for
forcing purposes until after New Year's,
or results will be disappointing. Cold
storage pips are much the best to use,
as they start into growth quickly and
flower at one time, which cannot be
said of the fresh imported pips. There
is a good call for valley at Christmas,
both cut and in pots, but in order to
have it in full bloom at that time the
pips should have had a clear month
for their development. They can be
flowered in three weeks in a brisk heat,
but it is better to have a brisk bottom
heat, 85 degrees being about right, and
a top heat 25 degrees lower. This gives
the flowers and foliage more substance.
Keep close and dark until well drawn
up; then admit more light, to permit
leaf development and make the flower
stems sturdier. Sand is the best ma-
terial to plant the pips in. It is clean,
water passes readily through it, and it
can be used over and over again. It
should be watered once a day until the
flowers start to open, when it should
be kept dry.

Plants in 6-inch pots are salable at
Christmas. The pips can be packed in
moss or any old soil. Sand makes the
pots rather weighty. Use fifteen to
eighteen pips to a pot and keep them in
a close case for the first ten or twelve
days. Then give good light, so that
the plants will be sturdy and have good
foliage.

CINCINNATI.

The Gateway to the South.

The prolonged warm weather seems
about over and it is to be hoped the
cold weather will bring with it a chango
in local market conditions. These, for
the last week, have not been the best.
True, enough stock was sold, but the
average net return was not so high as
it should have been.

In roses, everything but white has
sold. The chrysanthemums and lilies
followed in the wake of the white
roses; the supply was good, quality ex-
<*ellent, but the request for them seemed
limited and it was necessary to sell
at low prices or not at all. Carnations
moved out nicely. Valley and orchids
proved good property. Violets, both
double and single, sold well. More
sweet peas of quality might easily have
been used. Considerable stevia was
offered.

Judging from present indications,
Thanksgiving business will be good.
With the possible exception of carna-
tions, there probably will be enough
stock to go around.

The wholesale houses are beginning
to take on a Christmas aspect. Holly
and other decorative material for the
holidays is being pushed.

Various Notes.

C. E. Critchell received a car of
sphagnum moss last week. This mate-
rial has for some time been available
in only limited quantities in this mar-
liet. Mr, Critchell is also finding many
sales for red berries.

E. G, Gillett has been receiving choice
pompons and has been finding a good
market.

November 23 Chas. Pfeiffer's Sons
had on their stand in the Sixth street
market some fine Eaton and Chadwick
mums. They sold at good prices.

Peter Weiland has been getting in
a heavy cut of Brides.

The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange
last week was the recipient of a large
shipment of sphagnum moss

Wm. Murphy has gone south to ar-
range for his holly shipments.

A. F. Longren, of Poehlmann Bros.
Co.; Milton Alexander, New York, and
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Bartholomew, of
Dayton, .were in the city last week.

Local florists should not forget the

banquet and lecture by R, Vincent, Jr,,
president of the S. A. F., Monday, De-

house. Tickets can be had from either
A, C. Hechman, Jr., Eay Murphy, Chas.
Hoffmeister or in any wholesale house.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

Thanksgiving week came in with a
decided fall in temperature and a flurry
of snow. Sunday morning the snow
fell heavily for an hour, the first of
the season, and the ground was well
covered. By noon it was clear, the
mercury had climbed above 40 degrees
and the snow had disappeared. The
weather last week was as delightful as
could be imagined and there was one
continuous round of society events. It
is no wonder every florist was smiling,
for no one was left out in the heavy de-
mand for decorations.

The chrysanthemums seem to have
been timed just right for Thanksgiving
and there is a good supply. The qual-
ity is fair to good, with a lot that are
good enough to fetch $6 per dozen. Pot
plants bring an average of about $1
each. The popularity of the singles
seems somewhat on the wane, though
pompons are in heavier demand than
last year. Golden Wedding continues to
be the yellow most in evidence for cut-
ting, though some claim to secure better
prices for Yellow Eaton.

Carnations are in good supply and of
good quality. They are moving readily
at $1.50 per dozen, with no indication
of a fall in prices till after Christmas.
Lilies are scarce, but the demand is
light. Valley is plentiful and of good
quality, and sells at good prices. Sweet
peas are just beginning to come in
freely and are fetching $2 per hundred
blooms.

Roses are in good supply and are
selling at from $6 per dozen for the
best American Beauties to $1 for the
short-stemmed Kaiserins and Brides.
Violets are more abundant, but there
is no oversupply. Callas have not made
their appearance as yet, but, from the
looks of the houses, they will be in
soon. The early azaleas are beginning

to be seen and there will be all that
will be needed for Thanksgiving.

One of the features of this week is
to be the opening of Mr. Steif's new
jewelry store. The decorations are to
be elaborate, with a free use of ferns
and pot chrysanthemums. There will
be over 2,000 carnations and 1,000 roses,
arranged in cut glass vases and silver
trays.

Various Notes.

Haury & Sons continue to sell large
numbers of fine single chrysanthemum
plants. They report business gopd this
week. They have been compelled to
employ a new salesgirl to help out in
their retail store.

The Joy Floral Co. is exceedingly
busy. They are furnishing 2,000 carna-
tions for the Steif opening. They con-
tinue to have plenty of 3-foot and 4-
foot American Beauties this week. They
say that while funeral work has been
lighter this week than last, their decora-
tions for parties have been unusually
heavy and their out-of-town agents are
calling for almost more than they can
furnish,

Mclntyre Bros, have at last opened
their new retail store. The plant room
is not completed and will not be for
some time. Their salesroom is among the
largest and best arranged in the city.
While they made no effort to attract
trade, they say they had thirty-five
good orders the day the store was
opened. We noticed some fine Pearl
roses at their place. They are located
near the Vanderbilt university and
grow this rose because yellow is one
of the college colors. They say it is a
money-maker for them for this reason.

Geny Bros, put on one of the prettiest
decorations of the season last week. The
occasion was the giving of a debutante
party in honor of Miss Atkinson. The
large rooms of the Centennial Club
were used and gave opportunity for
the decorator to use his skill. Supper
was served at an A-shaped table, laid
for 100 guests. Among the table deco-
rations were five elaborate baskets of
pink chrysanthemums and fifteen vases
of Killamey and My Maryland roses.
A hundred yards of tulle and an abun-
dance of palms and wild smilax added
greatly to the effect. The triangle
formed inside the apex of the A was
entirely bordered with ferns, and the
space inside of these was filled with
pink chrysanthemums. The room was

OBITUABY.

George A. Sweet.

George A. Sweet, a nurseryman of
Da^sville, N. Y., died at his home on
Main street November 13, at the age
of 68 years. He was born in Dansville,
had spent almost his entire life there

. and was one of the most prominent
business men of the town. At the time
of his death he was president of the
Citizens' Bank of Dansville, president
of the Cemetery Association, and a

• member of the Western New, York Nur-
serymen 's Association.

He leaves his wife; one daughter,
Mrs. B. 6. Headshaw, of Oakland, Cal.;
one son, Maxwell Sweet, of Dansville,
and a brother, Edwin F. Sweet, of
Grand Eapids, Mich.

Isaac Husbands.

After a brief illness, Isaac Husbands,
a well known and highly respected resi-
dent of Bellevue, O., died November 23,
aged 75 years and 7 months. The de-
ceased had been in failing health since
last spring, but was able to be up and
around until two weeks ago, when he
took to his bed.

Mr. Husbands was born in Shrop-
shire, England, where he learned the
business of florist and landscape gar-
dener. He came to America at the age
of 21, locating first in Cleveland, where
he remained for a few years, and then
returned to his old home in England,
where he was married to Miss Alice
Gough. Four children, all living, were
born to this union. They are: Richard
Henry, of Spokane, Wash.; Charles, of
Cleveland; Mrs. J. G. Norbury, of
Crewe, England, and Miss Eleanor Hus-
bands, of Bellevue. Mr. Husbands re-
turned to America in 1877, bringing his
family, and located in Cleveland, where
for many years he was employed as
gardener at the home of Hon. Dan P.
Ells. Seventeen years ago last July the
family removed to Bellevue, Mr. Hus-
bands purchasing the greenhouses of the
late Mr. Lunn. The deceased continued
in the florists' business until a year ago
last January, when he sold his business
to R. C. Arlin, and since has led a re-
tired life. Mrs. Husbands died nine
years ago last July. He was married
to Mrs. Clara Davis, the widow who
survives, October 31, 1904.

Mr. Husbands was baptized and con-
firmed in the Episcopal faith and was
an active and faithful member of St.
Paul's church. He was a good musician
and organized the vested choir and was
a member of it for many years. He
was a member of the Odd Fellows'
lodge and was one of the oldest mem-
bers of that order in the state.

The funeral took place from the house
Monday, November 25, services being
conducted by Rev. Jenkins, of Fremont.
Interment was in Bellevue cemetery.

BXTLBOUS STOCK.

Last year we put our bulbous stock
outdoors and, like many others, lost a
lot of it. This year we have put the
bulbs in the cellar. We potted them
up as usual, or at least suppose the
man did, and set the pots on the cellar
bottom, giving them a good watering,
and we now find that the bulbs are
crawling out of the pots, caused by
root growth pushing them up. Can yon

give cause and suggest a remedy? We
have something over 1,500 pots, and
to repot them looks like a big job.

L. F.

The reason for your bulbous stock
heaving up the soil is because you did
not give them any covering of coal
ashes, sand, soil or other material to
weight them down. If this is done you
will have no further trouble of this
kind. There is no need to repot any of
the stock. Give the whole batch a
covering of three to four inches of
clean coal ashes, not too coarse, soaking
the plants well with, water before
doing so. C. W.

CYCLAMENS.

Kindly tell me through the columns
of The Review if cyclamens would be
harmed by a light smoking, such as
when a nicotine paper is used. As we
have but one temperature, we have car-
nations and cyclamens in the same
house. G. V. W.

Fumigating with the tobacco papers
will not harm cyclamens in the least.
Smoking is necessary to keep them
clean, unless you depend on spraying to
accomplish this, but in the winter
months fumigation is safer than spray-
ing. C. W.

the fiower trade for the last thirty-
seven years, Joseph Wagner .has sold
his greenhouses to Alanson G. Boomer.
However, though Mr. Wagner has thus
disposed of the florists ' end of the busi-
ness, he will continue to conduct the
seed store as formerly.

Independence, Mo. — Ed Bunyar built
four new houses this summer to take
care of the increased demand, and now
operates seven hot water boilers in his
battery. One little item of his stock is
25,000 moonvines. He has dropped vio-
lets because of the competition of the
stock shipped from a distance.

Prescott, Ariz.— Mrs. Wm. N. Kelly,
proprietor of the Terrace Cottage
Greenhouses, reported under date of
November 19 that the mild weather had
continued without interruption and she
was still selling chrysanthemums from
her outdoor gardens. She has two
houses of carnations that are timed just
right for winter sales and she also has
a house of callas that are coming into
bloom. In miscellaneous potted plants
she has a fine assortment.

Grand Bapids, Mich.— At the recent
meeting of the Michigan State Horti-
cultural Society, in this city, the follow-
ing officers were elected: President, J.
P. Munson, of this city; secretary, C. E.
Bassett, Fennville; treasurer, R. A.
Smythe, Benton Harbor. The newly
elected executive committee comprises
Paul Rose, Elberta, three years; C. A.
Pratt, Benton Harbor, one year; also
W. F. Hawxhurst, Saline, and F. A.
WilkcB, South -HitTen,

Bhinebeck, N. Y. — ^J. Yonder Lin-
den is much pleased with his success
in capturing first prize for double vio-
lets at the Cleveland flower show.

Little Bock, Ark. — A. Housmans, for-
merly employed by J. W. Vestal & Son,
has severed his connection with the
trade and is now assistant secretary of
the railroad Y. M. C. A. at Hoxie.

Hannibal, Mo. — W. T. League acted
as judge at the chrysanthemum show
held by the Frankford Horticultural
Society in Meflford 's opera house, Frank-
ford, Mo. The show was a great suc-
cess, both in exhibits and in attendance.

Galesburg, HI. — Besides his store on
Main street, H. F, Drury also has a
flower stand in the Big Store. He re-
cently invited the public to a chrysan-
themum show at his Main street place
and presented over 1,000 mums to his
visitors. He has been in the trade here
for thirteen years.

Savannah, Ga. — At the annual flower
show of the Young Women's Christian
Association, held in Guards' hall, the
exhibits were among the finest ever
seen in this city and were principally
from commercial growers. There were
excellent displays from John Wolf, the
Chatham Nurseries, A. C. Oelschig &
Son, A. W. Richardson and J. M. Breck-
enridge.

Maitland, Fla. — W. Clare has started
business here as a florist. He has two
acres of land, facing a beautiful lake,
and has placed half an acre under lath,
with cloth for protection on cold nights.
His principal crop is Asparagus
plumosus nanus and the plants are in
fine condition. He also has a slat house,
covering five acres, at Altamonte
Springs. Judging from the rate at which
orders are coming in, an enlargement
of the houses will soon be necessary.

Saginaw, Mich. — In a recent issue of
a local newspaper one of the most
prominent features was an article con-
tributed by Henry W. F. Goetz, of J. B.
Goetz Sons, with regard to a proposi-
tion for improving the city water sup-
ply. The article, which was accompa-
nied with a portrait of Mr. Goetz, was
written at the request of the publicity
committee of the Saginaw Bay Water
Association and makes special reference
to the unsuitability of the present city
water for horticultural purposes. ..

The Market.

Business last week was good. Several
large weddings did their share toward
reducing the stock. Mums are plentiful,
but sales have been good. White mums
are much more in demand this season
than ever before. No one voices any
opinion as to why, but the call for white
in all sizes has made them scarce at
times. Golden Chadwick and Golden
Wedding are the leaders for Thanks-
giving. The best easily bring $3 per
dozen wholesale. Maud Dean and Jones
are ias fine as these late varieties ever
are seen. Pompons have sold wonder-
fully well this season, but this week
will probably see the last of these popu^
lar flowers. Eoses are holding back, so
as to be in the running for Christmas;
light cuts in all colors is the rule this
week. The prospects at the several
large establishments near Cleveland are
for a record crop for December. Carna-
tions still are a lap behind. Lilies, val-
ley, orchids, etc., have sold well; there
/ has even been a scarcity of valley
in the last two weeks. Stevia and Paper
Whites are on the market in limited
quantities.

Pot plants promise to be good, also
early. Mme. Petrick azaleas, cyclamens
and Lorraine and Cincinnati begonias
are fine; some stock is to be had now
that is the equal of that generally seen
in January. Poinsettias on 6-foot stems
and with bracts eighteen inches across
are a novelty- for late November.

Aftermath of the Show.

There were many novelties and well
grown specimens of standard varieties
of roses, carnations and mums at the
recent flower show that were deserving
of special mention. J. D. Cockcroft's
new dark pink carnation, Northport,
was in grand shape for November 15.
It was the winner of two silver cups.
The Herald, shown by the Chicago Car-
nation Co., easily won first in the class
for 100 red. The flowers showed up
well and held up through the show.
Carl Hagenburger, Mentor, O., won the
Advance silver cup on an unnamed seed-
ling, flowers three and one-half inches
across, a bright red fringed flower. The
Mrs. Chas. Russell roses could have held
up their heads in the Beauty class; such
stems and flowers were never seen here
on any rose other than Beauty. Mrs.
George Shawyer also proved itself grand
on the exhibition table. Milady looks
like a good choice in red; compared
with some fine blooms of Richmond it
showed color, petals and general build
of the flower to be better than Rich-
mond, flowers not quite so large. Pier-
son's Indian Summer, a sport of
Chadwick Supreme, shows a color never
before seen in a mum. It is brown, not
bronze or red or yellow; just a clear
brown, a color that will take. Both
Smith and Totty also had some wonder-
ful new mums.

Begonias Lorraine and Cincinnati, as
shown by Hart Bros., were the finest
ever seen at this date.

There was one vase of roses that was
of special interest; White Cochet cut
from the field November 11 and shown
November 16, fully as fine flowers as
any other standard sort shown, but
stems only eighteen inches long. It
was shown by Gasser.

- Various Notes.

the Smith & Fetters Co., having been
for the last four years with the Iowa
Seed Co., Des Moines.

Cleveland is to have an up-to-date
conservatory at Gordon park, $50,000
having been appropriated, but those in-
terested say additional appropriations
will run the total up to $200,000.

The Hirscheimer-Weiner wedding,
November 25, was one of the elaborate
affairs of the season. The Jones-Russell
Co; had the decoration, using 1,500 large
mums, mostly Golden Wedding, 500
white mums being used on the altar.

NAME OF PLANT.

I send a branch of a plant for iden-
tification. It is growing on a moun-
tain at Helena, Mont., at an elevation
of 5,000 feet, and while we have had
several killing frosts and a good deal
of snow, it is still green and blooming.

J. P. R.

This appears to be a form of Matri-
caria inodorum, probably plenissima. It
also is called Chrysanthemum inodorum,
and has been naturalized and become
wild in many states. C. W.

DISCOIX>BED PLXJMOSUS.

We are enclosing some specimens of
Asparagus plumosus for examination.
We are at a loss to understand why it
dries around the edges and has those
little white spots on it. What is the
matter with it! The soil is in good
condition, as far as we know. Perhaps
the house has been a little cool. Any
information will be appreciated.

E. F. C.

The specimens forwarded with this
query indicate that the asparagus in
question has been allowed to get too
dry at the root at some previous time.
Asparagus plumosus is rather a gross
feeder after the plants become weB. es-
tablished, and when in that eoittlUion
will take up a good deal of wfite?,"

BESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

It isn't the size of one's business but
the promptness with which one meets
his obligations that determines one's
standing.

Don't pay money to traveling sub-
scription agents. Keview representa-
tives all are well known in their re-
spective communities.

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.

Dodge the price-cutter — the man who
will give you something for nothing. Be
perfectly sure no man's wares are worth
more than he asks for them. It applies
to advertising as well as other commodi-
ties florists buy.

Quite as a matter of course people
prefer to trade with the prompt-pay,
prosperous, progressive firms in any line.
The big, prosperous concern gives the
best service, or it wouldn 't have become
big and prosperous.

When you run across a buyer who
says "So-and-So is good enough for
me," though you know So-and-So has
been left hopelessly behind in the race,
it raises the question as to whether
that buyer is worth converting.

There are those who believe the best
way for them is to divide their pur-
chases, giving a little business to every-
one in the field. Yet these same buy-
ers know that in selling they give their
best to the customers who lump their
purchases. Of course such accounts are
too good to neglect.

A Buffalo florist handles his overdue
accounts through a private "adjust-
ment" office. He has letter-heads
printed without street address, merely
giving a postoffice box. Then, when he
cannot make direct collections, he turns
the accounts over to the "adjuster,"
which is himself under another name.

VOICE FROM THE BAT STATE.

The best judgment is the deliberate

opinion of the man who is far enough

away to get the correct perspective —

but, then, The Review's subscription

list shows that the trade is practically

of one mind:

I find The Review a great help and think It the
best paper published for the trade. — Robert Rod-
den, Newton Center, Mass., November 17, 1912.

STOCK PLANTS TWO YEABS OLD.

Perhaps my experience with a bench
of stock geraniums would be of inter-
est to Review readers. I have a raised
bench of Nutt geraniums that have I

been planted over two years and have
never had a change of soil except to
take off about an inch of the top each
fall, replacing $ame and working in
some high-grade commercial fertilizer
with the hands. These plants are still
giving an abundance of thrifty cuttings
of a deep green color.

A. B. Reynolds.

IN DAILY USE.

A publication is useful to its adver-
tisers just in proportion to its useful-
ness to its readers. The Review is
issued weekly, but it is in daily use:

The Review is a paper that is of dally use in
my business, for It contains valuable informa-
tion on every subject connected with a growing
florists' business. — W. B. Johnson, Corning, N. Y.,
November 21, 1912.

BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.

New York, N. Y. — A petition in
bankruptcy was filed, November 22,
against Butler Florist, Inc., Eugene G.
MacCan, president, conducting a retail
flower store at 18 East Forty-sixth
street. A receiver was appointed. Ot-
terbourg, Steindler & Houston, attor-
neys for the petitioning creditors, say:
"This step was made. imperative by the
threatening actions of certain creditors
and particularly by the fact that the
rent is unpaid for the months of Octo-
ber and November and the landlord
had given the bankrupt one week to
move out. We are informed that the
liabilities greatly exceed the tangible
assets of the corporation." The peti-
tioning creditors were Badgley, Riedel
& Meyer, $386; Paul Meconi, $116, and
N. Lecakes & Co., Inc., $57. It was al-
leged that the corporation admitted in
writing inability to pay its debts. Lia-
bilities are $3,000 and assets $1,500.
The business was started about twenty
years ago. Eugene G. MacCan bought
it in 1904 and incorporated it October
4, 1912, with capital stock of $5,000,
and became president.

CmCACK).

The Great Central Market.

It has been an interesting market
since last report. The best feature of
it has been the pronounced increase in
the volume of business. Last week
began with quiet days, but there was
brisk business as the week drew to a
close, and at the beginning of the pres-
ent week there was the Thanksgiving
demand to help out.

The chrysanthemum has been the
dominating flower. Reversing the pre-
vious condition, the close of last week
found the market oversupplied with the
big special fancy blooms, which could
not be cleared at prices approaching
their real value. On the other hand,
there was a sharp increase in the de-
mand for good, clean flowers of the me-
dium grade. Bonnaffon was especially
popular. Some of the big growers and
large handlers found themselves with
an overstock of the best grade mums,
while they were under the necessity of
going into the market to purchase me-
dium sized blooms to go out on heavy
shipping orders. Pompons shared in
the improved demand.

Roses also came to the front strongly
at the end of last week. Where it had
been necessary to make attractive prices
to clean up, the demand became so good

AN ABUNDANCE OF FANCY

A LARGE CROP NOW IN FULL SWING.

There are three strong reasons why the thinking buyers are ordering
their Roses of us this season: In the first place, it is well known that
better Roses cannot be grown; in the second place, we have a full line— the
largest in the market; and, thirdly, we have this year fully doubled our sup-
ply—from new glass— so can take good care of a large number of new custo-
mers.

ORCHIDS

Our Cattleyas are coming in
stronger just as the general autumn
crop throughout the country is pass-
ing off. We shall have fine Cattleyas
in increasing quantity from now on.
You always can get Cattleyas if you
order here.

VIOLETS

If you are not getting your share
of the corsage work, probably it is
because you do not use our Violets.
There are none better to be had, and
unless your competitor uses ours
probably his Violets are not so good
as yours will be if you order of us.

CARNATIONS

You can get here all the Carnations your trade demands. The stock is
good. The flowers are the equal of anything to be found in this section and
the stems are all that you would ask. From now on our Carnations should
occupy a prominent place in your store.

BEAUTIES

It is well known that our supply of Beauties is the largest and by far
the steadiest in the west, and probably in the entire United States, while
the quality is all that the most critical buyer could ask. Order direct of us.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS

This is Chrysanthemum headquarters. We had the largest supply and
the best quality of early Mums, the finest midseason sorts, and now you
can count on us for the big fancy late varieties.

Poinsettias are ready to cut on receipt of your order.

CHRISTMAS

Buyers who appreciate the high quality of our stock are insur-
ing themselves against any possibility of disappointment by
Piacmg Christmas orders with us now. What will you need?

that the wholesalers were once more in
command of the situation. It is not fre-
qaent that the improvement is so rapid,
especially while chrysanthemums are so
abundant. The greater part of the rose
receipts now are from medium to long.
There is an oversupply of the better
grades of White Killarney, quite seri-
ous in some cases. These are too good
to use in funeral work and are not
wanted for other purposes. Beauties
have shared in the increased demand
and, though prices have been good for
several weeks, they are better now.
Most of the Beauties are long in stem
and perfect in color.

Carnations had their place in general
improvement last week. The crops ap-
pear to be not so heavy as at this time
last year and prices fully as good as
normal are being obtained. Bed and
dark pink are in extremely light supply.

Violets have become of excellent
quality and there has been a distinct
improvement in the demand, though
there still is a great deal of difference
in the opinions as to their value. The

fine prices. The small cattleyas, like
Percivaliana and Schroederiana are not

the manager, who is a Mr. Webb, iden-

unpaid on the twenty-fifth day of the
month following purchase and the
manager then supplies each member
with a list of all the delinquents. The

Various. Notes.

It is announced that December 1 Vic-
tor Bergman will sever his connection
with the E. Wienhoeber Co., with which
he has been identified all his business
life, and enter into partnership with
John Ganger, who heretofore has done
business under the name of Ganger &
Gormley. Mr. Gormley died several
years ago. The new store at 412 Michi-
gan avenue, in the Fine Arts building,
has brought, it is . said, an improve-
ment in trade which affords an ex-
cellent opportunity for a young man of
Mr. Bergman's well known abilities.

Paul M. Bryant is no longer with
the Foley Mfg. Co.

Appearances indicate that the Ba-
tavia Greenhouse Go. is having its most
successful vear to date.

Peter Reinberg is practically cleaned
up on chrysanthemums, according to
Tim Matchen, and the space will now
be used for propagating.

The Cook County Florists' Associa-
tion held an exceptionally interesting
meeting at the Tavern November 21,
the special feature being an address by
Walter Scott, of La Grange, on "Char-
acter as a Factor in Business Success."
The talk did not relate directly to the
flower business, but the speaker pointed
out that the same qualities that bring
success in any other line are needed to
achieve success in this trade. President
A. C. Kohlbrand appointed committees
to act at the big dance the association
will give at Bush Temple December 4.
Frank Oechslin, C. Frauenfelder, Ar-
thur Denkum and C. L. Washburn were
elected to membership. J. K. M. L.
Farquhar, of Boston, president-elect of
the S. A. F., was elected to honorary

membership and invited to lecture be-
fore the association at its January
meeting. There will be no meeting ia
December because of the Christmas
rush.

J. H. McNeilly still is trying to hire
a clerk.

August Poehlmann's new Wintom
Six automobile was delivered Novem-
ber 16.

H. E. Klunder has gone to Cineia-
nati to enter the employ of the HiU-
Heller Co.

R. A. Eckstrom, chief engineer for
the Fehr Construction Co., who erected
the concrete stack for Bassett & Wash-
burn at the new Gregg's Station plaat,
announces that the smokestack busi-
ness of that firm has been taken over
by the Armoured Structures Co. The
latter concern will make a specialty
of concrete greenhouse smokestacks
and Mr. Eckstrom, having become a

member of the concern, will have com-
plete ^charge of this end of the busi-
ness. The new offices will be at 305
Monadnock building.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. has secured the
entire fourth floor of the building at 72
and 74 East Bandolph street, in which
it already occupies the entire second
floor. Possession will be obtained Jan-
uary 1, The space will be used for the
expansion of the supply department.

A. H. Budlong has been at Mudlavia
for several weeks, trying to get into
first-class health again. This has thrown
the responsibility for the greenhouse
end of the Budlong business onto P. C.
Schupp, as well as the selling end.

Wietor Bros, say they think they are
fortunate in having a couple of houses
of Chadwick and Golden Chadwick still
to cut. N. J. Wietor is counting on a
banner December.

Bert Cole, who has charge of the
Beauties in the store of the E. C. Am-
ling Co., and Miss Olive Katherine
Lloyd were married on the evening of
November 21 at 2519 Indiana avenue.
The announcement was a surprise to
their friends.

The Chicago Florists' Club will hold
its monthly meeting December 5. It
will be election night and R. Vincent,
Jr., president of the S. A. F., is expect-
ed to be present and to deliver his
illustrated lecture on the London
flower show.

Norby & Hoefel, Des Plaines, hit
Thanksgiving just right with their
crop of Bonnaffon. E. E. Pieser says
he thinks that in spite of the talk of
lower prices for mums, the Bonnaffons
averaged better prices than last year.
C. W. McKellar has put in a line of
flowering plants for "the holidays and
has a gay window.

Another good room is vacant in the
Atlas block, suitable for a wholesale
florist. It is the one adjoining the
store of the Chicago Carnation Co., once
occupied by the Benthey-Coatsworth Co.

John Michelsen says he thinks roses
never before have gone through the
chrysanthemum season as well as this
year.

The travelers of the A. L. Randall
Co. are home to spend the next three
weeks in helping out with the rush of
mail orders for florists' supplies.

Winterson's Seed Store reports the
cleanest sales of bulbs since starting in
business. Scarcely a bulb remained in
the house November 25. Winding
green wreathing will begin in a day or
two.

Frank Johnson, of the A. L. Randall
Co., says there will be no shortage of
fancy long roses in this market be-
tween now and the middle of January.

Adam Zender isays the Holton &
Hunkel Greenhouse Co., Milwaukee, in
which he is interested, is considering
plans for a new range of glass. The
concern has been extremely successful.

O. W. Frese reports the presence in
the market November 23 of Mrs. E. M.
Irby, of the Flower Shop, Memphis,
engaging material for several large
wedding jobs for early December.

The Bohannon Floral Co. is using a

are spending much of their time out-
doors. Funeral work continues to be
quite heavy and many of the local firms
are receiving large numbers of orders
from concerns in other cities for local
delivery.

A fairly good business is looked for
from now on and it is expected that
Thanksgiving trade will be large. There
will be plenty of stock of all kinds for
all purposes, although the prices may
advance. Violets are somewhat better
than they have been, but it appears
as though some of the growers are hold-
ing a part of their supply, awaiting
the approach of the holiday. Chrysan-
themums are to be had at all prices
from $1 to $4 per dozen, the best sellers
being those wholesaling at from $1.50
to $2. Eoses are quite plentiful and
the demand for short-stemmed stock is
much better than it has been for some
time. The call for the long-stemmed
and better grades of roses is not as
heavy as it was some days ago.

Carnations are in a little better de-
mand and there are enough coming in
to fill all orders. Valley is perhaps not
as good as it might be, there being a
scarcity of high grade stdck. Greens
are moving along nicely, with wild
southern smilax slightly scarce. Some
good Cattleya labiata is to be had at
about $7.50 per dozen, a slightly better
price than has been previously asked.

Various Notes.

Some 200 or more florists, their fam-
ilies and other guests accepted the in-
vitation sent out by the 8. S. Pennock-
Meehan Co. to be present at the open-
ing of the new store at 1216 H street,
northwest, November 21. The store
was elaborately decorated for the occa-
sion and a good showing made of chrys-
anthemums, orchids, carnations and
roses. Hidden behind a bank of palms
and ferns was a stringed orchestra
which played the popular airs. A fea-
ture of the evening was the xylophone
playing by a young man and young
lady and the piano solos rendered from
time to time. During the evening a
buffet luncheon was served. Mr. Mc-
Kissick, manager of the local branch,
had the reception in charge and he was
assisted by Mrs. McKissick, Miss Min-
nie Shea and Messrs. Bauer and Mastin,
of the store force, and Messrs. Shatt-
meier, Hengle and Oehmler. Charles
E. Meehan and Edward J. Fancourt,
of Philadelphia, were also present to

The Market.

Anticipations of a big Thanksgiving
business will have, I hope, become a real-
ity when this report reaches its readers.
The retail florists are awaking to the
fact that nothing so stimulates business
on these special days as suggestive
store and window trimming. Growers
also are helping to increase the use of
flowers on all special days by supplying
the market with large quantities of
good quality stock.

Yellow mums, always in demand for
Thanksgiving, are in large supply. The
quantity of roses available also is good
and, since the advent of Melody, Lady
Hillingdon, Aaron Ward, etc., roses in
these colors are in demand for all occa-
sions where before yellow roses were
rarely seen. Beauties are not of such

PHILADELPHIA.

The Bising Ea4stem Market.

There has been a decided improve-
ment in the cut flower market. The de-
mand proves sufficiently strong to take
most of the good stock coming to town.
Prices have been firm; in some cases
they have advanced.

Chrysanthemums continue to be the
leading flower. The late varieties are
in full crop. Yellow is more plenti-
ful than any other color. So healthy
has been the tone of the market that
the experts confidently predict a buoyant
Thanksgiving. They base this predic-
tion on the certainty of a decreased
supply and on the probability of an in-
creased demand. As usual toward the
end of the season, pompons find favor
with the buyers, while singles, when
they can be had, prove popular.

Koses are decidedly oflf crop with
nearly all the growers. Everybody crops
for December nowadays, although a few
of the knowing ones are bringing some
houses in for Thanksgiving. Beauties
have not been in especial demand, but
other roses have been, causing firmer
prices. Short white roses have sold
well in direct contrast to the longer
grades. There has been a decided in-
crease in the demand for Richmond.

Carnations have enjoyed their first
boom since the arrival of the autumn
queen. The Wards, Pink Delight and

a few fancy blooms of other sorts ad-
vanced to 4 cents in face of strong de-
mand and light receipts. A curious
change came over the violet market, the
singles, so far the leaders, giving place

to the doubles as favorites without any
apparent reason, unless it be that both
Hightstown and the Hudson river are
shipping superb stock. Valley has been
short of the demand at times. Gar-
denias have increased to an extent that
exceeds requirements. The chief fea-

ture of the orchid situation is that no-
body wants Cattleya Percivaliana; they
are too small, and prices must be low
to move them. Superbum is the leading
oncidium. Cypripediums are becoming
more plentiful. Both Easter lilies and
callas are in fair demand. Paper

Whites, Romans and stevia have come,

The Cabinet.

J. Otto Thilow, president of the
Florists' Club, has announced a list
of his advisers, who will assume their
duties on Tuesday next. Here is the
official list: Secretary of state, DavM
Rust; secretary of the treasury, Geor^
Craig; secretary of the interior, Fred-
erick Hahman; postmaster-general, Ed
ward Reid; commissioner of recreation,
William Graham; commissioner of im-
migration, Henry F. Michell; commis-
sioner of horticulture, Robert Craig;
commissioner of exhibits, Robert Kift;
secretary of commerce and labor, Sam-
uel S. Pennock.

The elevation of Edward Reid to the
office of postmaster-general, stated hy
President Thilow in his Boston speech
as being the most important in his cabi-
net, is favorably received. Mr. Reid
will have charge of the essays of each
meeting. The creation of a new office,
styled abpve as commerce and labor,
sometimes given the ugly appellation

of publicity, is modernism. Mr. Pen-
nock, who has been assigned to this
important position, is entrusted with
the duty of securing for us better and
broader pastures.

Pottery Activity.

.T. G. Whilldin, president of the Whill-
din Pottery Co., announces that Walter
Galloway has been elevated to the posi-
tion of secretary and treasurer of the
company. Mr. Galloway is a young
man of promise, son of William Gallo-
way, his predecessor in that office. Mr.
Whilldin also announces the purchase
by his company of thirteen lots, 25x100
feet each, situated on the main street of
New Durham, a station on the Erie
railroad, just outside of Jersey City.
Plans have been drawn for a hand-
some building to be used as a ware-
house, to be erected next spring. The
main office of the company in this city
has been strengthened by the addition
of a 120 horse-power engine and some
new machinery. Mr. Whilldin has se"-
cured the services of P. M. Read, one
of the best known newspaper men of

this city, as a representative of the
company.

When a place is large and is also
interesting, it becomes necessary to
center attention on two or three points
when you are describing that place. If
you do not do this, the result is a ram-
bling, ramshackle sort of description
such as nobody reads, or, if they should
read it once, they would never, never
do it again. So when you mentally
search for the strong points that stand
out clearly above all others at Robert
Scott & Son 's, you think of the new
roses and of the gardenias.

Alexander B. Scott was the first man
to discover how to flower gardenias in
midwinter, and he has not forgotten.
The proof of this assertion lies in the
splendid condition of the gardenias.
They are the picture of health and full
of buds. Mr. Scott has had a good
many gardenias during the fall, some
of them unusually early, through special
methods of culture.

the rose novelties; a single rose that is
to make its debut next spring. A whole
boose is filled with it, presenting a
charming appearance, vigorous, graceful
■M form and foliage, with buds of an
imasmil eombination of colors, intense
fiery erimson-scarlet at the tip, shading
at the base of the petals to orange
■almon. It is a rose that appeals to a
refined taste in flowers. There are
other interesting novelties of promise:
Mrs. Ford, Janet, Killarney Brilliant.
Flowers are being cut from all three
varieties. Probably all three will come
out within the next two years. Then
there are many varieties in the nursery
stage, selected by Mr. Scott from the
Newtownards grounds of Alex. Dickson
A Sons and brought here for trial under
glass.

Various Notes.

B. Eschner says that last Sunday was
the first time that the force of M. Rice
A Co. were obliged to work all of the
seventh day. Following six evenings of
work, this gives an idea of the stress
of orders that must be gotten out. Mr.
Eschner attributes the run of business
to the preference given their own fac-
tory-made supplies over the imported.

William Berger had five large wed-
dings outside of Germantown last week.
that required much fine material and
aid from the Auto Car Co.

H, F, Whitmer is planning the addi-
tion of two new houses at his Ellen-
wood greenhouses next spring.

The man who flops now may never
know that it was not the flopping that
advanced prices.

The steamers Prinz Oscar, arriving
November 22, and Neckar, arriving No-
vember 23, brought large shipments of

The Market.

The week before Thanksgiving saw
a heavy falling off in the receipts of
cut flowers and, although business was
comparatively light, prices stiffened.
November 22 and 23 saw an excellent
demand for violets, red chrysanthemums
and carnations. The present week
started with a decidedly improved tone
and at this time the outlook for Thanks-
giving trade is excellent, although no
fancy prices are probable.

Chrysanthemums are steadily declin-
ing in numbers. The old reliable Bon-
naffon is still easily the leader. Other
varieties seen in quantity are Eaton,
Mrs. Jerome Jones, Maud Dean, Jeanne
Nonin, Dr. Enguehard, Dr. Galloway
and President Wilson. There is also a
good supply of late pompons, such as

There is a fine supply of calendulas,

Cattleyas have shortened up. Some
C. Percivaliana in addition to C. labi-
ata are now to be seen. There are
plenty of cypripediums, but the call for
these is only moderate. Gardenias are
in demand this week. There is an ex-

Growers of pot plants have had a

Why do Barnard's Xmas decorations lead in quality ? . Because we send our own men from
Chicago to the different green countries to superintend the selection, cutting, and packing of Holly,
Bouquet Qreens, Xmas Trees, etc. They are men of twenty years' experience and are well
acquainted with the requirements of the most critical florists. They are instructed that the
best is just good enough for our trade.

EVERGREEN WREATHING, HOLLY WREATHS, ETC..

Are made on our own premises, under our own supervision. They have style in appearance and are perfect in
workmanship. Wevh^Cve the most competent and experienced operators in our employ and can make lowest prices
on anything in the Xmas decoration line.

Our complete book on Xmas decorations and Xmas sundries will be ready Dec. 1st, and will be mailed free for the asking.

season's introduction, is now fine with
him.

E. D. Kimball, of Woburn, has fine
single violets this season. No finer
Harry Fenn carnations than his are
seen, and in mums he knows how to
grow Chadwick well.

J. Streiferd & Son, of Weymouth,
grow mums in considerable variety, but
with Dr. Galloway and Glenview they
have made a decided hit this week.

Henry W. Vose, of Hyde Park, is just
finishing his mum cut. It has been a
successful season for him with them.
He has now a fine lot of Paper Whites
and stevia daily.

November has proven an unusually
warm month. So far we have had
eleven days with shade temperatures
over 60 degrees, and clear skies have
been the rule.

The annual election of officers of the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club will oc-
cur December 17. There promises to
be a particularly keen contest for places
on the executive committee, there being
twelve candidates for four places.

John T. Butterworth had a splendid
cut of Cattleya labiata for Thanksgiv-
ing. He always manages to flower them
later than other growers and gets much
better returns for them in consequence.

Johnson, the Quincy florist, has just
completed a thorough overhauling of his
neat store on Hancock street. Besides
painting and decorating it, he has added
a new refrigerator and mirrors, and
now his store is one to be proud of.

NOTKMBEB 28, 1912.

HOLLY

UHAVB just completed my contracts with the Holly peo-
ple of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia for my supply

HOLLY

for the season of 1912. I secured my Holly this year

to be cut from the swamps in the lower part of Delaware and

Maryland, as it is greener and has more berries on than the
upland Holly. It will be strictly flrst-class in every particular. I will have it packed as usual, in regular size cases,
2x2x4, and I positively guarantee it as represented. My first car will arrive here about December 1. The price on orders
received during November will be $3.00 |per case, f. o. b. Philadelphia.

I have my Wreaths made of the brightest dark green
Holly possible to secure, wrapped with wire, on 10-inch
hoops, and each Wreath has four or five spots of berries.
Price. $10.00, $i2.60 and $15.00 per 100, according to weight
and quality.

My Laurel Wreathing comes from New Jersey. The
Laurel is gathered in the swamps, and the Wreathing is made
by hand on heavy roping in 60-yard lengths. Price. 3c per yd.

The Mistletoe comes mostly from North and South Car-

olina and is well berried. Price, $2.50 to $4.00 per barrel ;
$6.00 to $10.00 per case, according to quality, about 100 lbs.
to case.

Lycopodium. in 10-yard rolls, 4c to 6c per yard.

Christmas Trees, 6 to 20 feet high, 76c to $2.60 each.

Send me your orders ; state the day you want it shipped,
and if by freight or express and by what route or railroad.

All Christmas Greens are sold on spot cash terms, and
checks must accompany all orders.

ended the motion, which was carried
unanimously. A lively interest in the
coming exposition already makes itself
felt among the local growers, and no
doubt a keen rivalry will be shown at
the coming exposition. Secretary C. K.
Panter was appointed to represent the
society at the fair. A vote of thanks
was tendered to Eichard Vincent, Jr., to
Harry Papworth and to the Progressive
Union in connection with the interest-
ing lecture given here recently by Mr.
Vincent. Harry Dresel, the eminent
rose grower for the Metairie Eidge
Nursery Co., exhibited the following
novelties of indoor-grown roses: Prince
de Arenberg, Edward Mawley, Eeine
Mere d 'Italic, Principal Pirrie, May-
flower, Jonkheer J. L. Mock, Double
White Killarney. and a seedling pro-
duced by him. The parent is Ehea Eeid
X American Beauty. The shape and
color are like the former, but it is much
larger and fuller, with the fragrance of
the latter. His display attracted spe-
cial attention and Mr. Dresel was the
recipient of hearty congratulations on
his success in adding such a valuable
acquisition to the newly introduced va-
rieties. A fine specimen of Begonia
Lorraine was also shown by the same
exhibitor.

Various Notes.

Henry Ziegler has established for him-
self a fine trade, both in landscape work
and in the general florists ' business. He
intends to grow stock for the whole-
sale market on a large tract of land out
of town.

Wm. Nelson, one of the pioneers of
the pecan industry, who introduced such
standard varieties as the Nelson,
Frotscher, etc., has part of his new
place of three acres devoted to pecan
culture. The rest will be used for the
wholesale growing of sweet peas, Easter
lilies, asters, snapdragons and mums.
Mr. Nelson is a veteran in the business
and a successful grower.

The Bollwinkle Seed Co. reports a
constant increase in trade, both local
and mail order. E. E.

Des Moines, la. — When J. S. Wilson
returned from the big St. Paul flower
show, at which he was one of the
judges, he was enthusiastic in his praise
of the exhibition and stated that he
could see no reason why Des Moines
might not also have a successful show.
It is stated, therefore, that this city
will have a flower show next year, if
plans now being made by Mr. Wilson
are carried forward to completion.

The Market.

Business last week was nothing to
'boast of. While there was a little fu-
neral work, trade is not what it should
'be for this time of the year. Stock is
'not overplentiful and the prices will be
stiff for Thanksgiving. Roses, Beau-
ties and carnations are scarce. There
lis a fair supply of mums, but the prices
will be firm. The pompon varieties have
been in fair demand, but the prices have
not been as high as heretofore. East-
ern double violets are being shipped in
daily and have been selling well.

Various Notes.

Bertermann Bros. Co. has the new
conservatory completed and ready for
business. This is a modern greenhouse,
with an elegant entrance on Delaware
street. There is a cellar under the en-
tire house and, with the additional room
and conveniences, this should add ma-
terially to the facilities for handling
the ever increasing business.

Ernest Fisher, with A. Wiegand &
Sons, has a new baby girl at his house.
Jay Lytle, with the same firm, spent a
couple of days in Brown county hunt-
ing last week. He says there is noth-
ing to it, as four rabbits were the ex-
tent of his bag.

W. W. Coles, of Kokomo, was in the
city last week, attending the ceremonial
of the Mystic Shrine.

Robert Fohl, with the Indianapolis
Flower & Plant Co., is the proud father
of a baby girl.

J. J. Karins, with Henry A. Dreer,
and C. B. Knickman, with McHutchison
& Co., called on the traiB here last
week.

George Wiegand spent a few days
with Harry Jones, of the Jones-Russell
Co., in Cleveland this week.

Frank Hasselman, who has been
spending a mjonth in the west, reports
that he bagged a deer on one of his

LETTUCE EOT.

Will you kindly suggest some means
by which we can keep our lettuce from
rotting oflf? We prepare the ground,
which is a black loam, with lots of ma-
nure in it. We keep the ground moist
and give plenty of ventilation. The
plants start to grow satisfactorily, but
in the course of a week they begin to
rot off in different spots. Sometimes
they are nearly ready to cut before
they rot off. We should like to over-
come this. If there is a remedy, will
someone kindly suggest it? K. & P.

I am inclined to think the lettuce is
watered too often and kept too wet,
and also that too much green manure
is mixed with the soil. The rotting off
is caused by a disease that begins in
the form of a mold on the wet surface
of the soil and on the particles of green
manure which are not turned under.
When this fungus reaches the plants it
grows on them also, and rots them off
close to the ground.

The way to prevent this rotting or
fungous disease is to have the manure
mixed with the soil several months be-
fore the soil is wanted inside, so as to
be thoroughly rotted and incorporated
with the soil. If manure is put in just
before planting, it should be rotted ma-
nure and should also be carefully turned
tinder, so as to leave none on top of the
tfiurface.

Do not water too often. Keep| the
noil moist, but not really wet. This is
best done by watering heavily when you
do water and then not wetting the beds
again until more water is really needed.
Keep the ventilators open every day
and a little at night when the weather
is mild. Stir or cultivate the crust of

THE JACKSON PECAN GROVES

PAPER SHELLS

THE NUT

With a fortune in it.
With a college education.
For the epicure and the esthete.
With the greatest demand of any nut in the
world.

That sells for many times the price of the hard-
shell pecan and for more than any other nut.

THE TREE

That lives for centuries.
That has no vital enemies.
That bears each and every year.
That produces more money than any tree in the
•world.

Our trees bear the fourth year from the trans-
planting, or seven years from the planting of
the nut.

THE ACRE

Has twenty pecan trees.

Will pay for itself in nuts inside of seven years.

THE GROVE

Has five acres — one hundred trees.

Will support a family in five years from 1912.

Our experience shows that our trees annually double

their crops in the beginning and then rapidly increase

for a generation.

Practically none of the tap-roots of our trees were cut

off when they were transplanted. We know this to be

a very important feature.

THE INCOME

I'rom five acres of Paper Shell Pecans from the Jack-
son Groves we estimate will, in five years from date,
be greater than the revenue from $25,000 invested in

Many of the groves that we

Premier Nats of the World

steel Common, or the income from $50,000 in
Government bonds.

THE REASON

For the sale of these privately planted groves
is the closing of the estate of the Jackson
Brothers and Mr. C. C. Batey, of Baeonton,
Georgia, where, under the expert care of Mr.
Batey, these trees were all grown, budded and
planted.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Is only one in a lifetime; we have thoroughly
investigated the matter and we stake our repu-
tation on the results.

THE PRICE

Is $20.00 per tree if you take the nuts, or $12.00
per tree if the Company receives the nuts for
the five years of your purchase contract, during
which time we bond ourselves to scientifically
care for these groves.

THE TERMS

Are ten per cent down and the balance in sixty
monthly payments. No charges for pruning, fertiliz-
ing or cultivating.

You don't have to leave your business to secure this
income. The Jackson Pecan Groves Company will gather
nut crop and sell it for you for ten per cent.

Go and see our three, four, five, six and seven year
old trees, all of which are bearing this year, and be
convinced of their annual increasing yield. We will show
you $10.00 worth of nuts on our seven-year-old trees.
We will pay the entire expense of investigation from
your home and return if you find our proposition not as
good as represented,

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 eflfort) 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.

Tbe Market.

In anticipation of Thanksgiving,
prices for all cut flowers improved
November 23, and are expected to con-
tinue firm until the holiday^ No sud-
den rise in values is expected. The
day for abnormal increase for holidays
is over.

The rose supply for Thanksgiving will
be ample for all requirements, includ-
ing shipments out of town, for which
gradually returning and encouraging
feature of the New York wholesale
trade let us also give thanks. Ameri-
can Beauties touched 35 cents Novem-
ber 23. The quality is now at its best.
Several of the novelties will doubtless
vie with the Beauty this week, espe-
cially Mrs. Shawyer, Mrs. Bussell, Lady
Stanley and Milady. In fact, all
the grand novelties in roses this season
are sensational for their power to
arouse the interest of the high class
trade. The old varieties now are at
their top in development of bud and
stem and are selling well, Killarney
Queen and Double White Killarney
especially so. A scarcity of white roses
and also of the No. 2 grade was notice-
able at the close of last week. There
is a great abundance of Killarney.

The orchid shipments have decreased
somewhat and prices have become
firmer. A good many orchid corsages
were on exhibition at the horse show,
or at least held their own as a part of
the society display. The leading flow-
er stores make much decorative use of
oncidiums. Carnations are abundant,
but the market was completely depleted
of red carnations November 23, thanks

Also, Yale absorbed immense quantities
of violets. Good valley commands 4
cents and of this select grade there is
never a surplus. Lilies also have
strengthened and the market absorbs

abundant, especially the higher grades."

Will take care of your orders with care
and dispatch.

No shortage in violets is anticipated
and Thanksgiving prices were quoted
in advance at 75 cents to $1 per hun-
dred. Daisies, sweet peas, narcissi and
bouvardia are in limited supply.

The mum season started early and
will end with the old year, and evi-
dently not before. Prices have not
been satisfactory to the growers. The
enormous supply reduced values at least
one-half and grand stock was selling
last week at $2 per dozen that brought
$4 and $5 in other years. There has
been an oversupply of pompons. Bon-
naffon lost none of its popularity with
its inevitable lowering of value. Chad-
wick and Eaton are prime favorites.
Golden Wedding, Enguehard and Maud
Dean still are as popular as ever. The
new varieties and the prize-winning
novelties that are still left are all sold
before they reach New York.

It is the general opinion in whole-
sale circles that "the good times com-
ing" are overdue and that Thursday
will mark the era of normal and better
days for grower, retailer and whole-
saler in "little old New York."

Various Notes.

December 9 will be the final meeting
of the Florists ' Club for 1912. In addi-
tion to the exhibits of novelties and
important arrangements as to the
National Flower Show, it will be elec-
tion night and there will be keen com-
petition for several of the honors of
oflSee.

Interest in the National Flower Show
is widening. Chairman Totty thinks
and talks about little else and begins
to see success, even in his dreams. The
entertainment committee met November
25 at the Hotel Earlington. Elaborate

plans are under way for a rousing wel-
come to all who come.

The publicity committee, with I. S.
Hendrickson as chairman, has met with
much encouragement in its effort to in-
crease the Thanksgiving trade. The il-
lustrated posters were in every retail
window and copies have been sent for
from a dozen other cities. The move-
ment, of which Wallace R. Pierson is
the father, is spreading and if results
are up to expectations a strong effort
will be made to have the Christmas
work universal.

The verdict of the retail trade last
week was decidedly optimistic. The
horse show, many notable balls and
banquets, and several weddings kept
the retailers active.

The large hotels have never decorated
so lavishly and they have made their
palm displays permanent. Grand palms
are in every hostelry of prominence,
and bay trees, boxwood and ivy are
unstintedly ultilized for outdoor adorn-
ment. If an up-to-date florist can
secure the floral and decorative con-
tract for one of these hotel palaces, it
is ' ' sufficiency. ' ' The rest of his busi-
ness is "velvet."

The nurserymen have much cause to
celebrate Thanksgiving this year. They
are still shipping and planting. Bob-
bink & Atkins, of Rutherford, say there
has never been such a season in their
fifteen years' experience, nor anything
approaching it.

A new bouquet called The Suffragette
is one of M. A. Bowe's latest creations.

Peter Mallon has opened an elaborate
store at 640 Fulton street, at the corner
of Lafayette avenue, Brooklyn. His
son, former manager for Trepel at
Gimbel's, is associated with him. The
display windows are the largest in the
city.

The gardeners of New York and
vicinity have arranged for a banquet
and bowling tournament at Thumm's
alleys, Thirty-first street and Broadway,
early in December.

Bowling clubs are numerous here this
season, Flatbush, Astoria, Rutherford,
and now Yonkers, all have good, ac-
tive clubs. But the New York Florists'
Club to date has failed to enthuse even
a baker's dozen out of a membership
of over 300.

All the wholesale cut flower houses
in Brooklyn appear to be prosperous
and are handling large quantities of fine
mums, roses and carnations. Some of
the best carnation growers on Long

Jones were seen at the wholesale mar-
kets, with top price for the fancy at
$3 per dozen. The Beauty crop is not
so heavy just now; in fact, fancy long
Beauties are scarce and in demand. The
shorter grades are more plentiful. Kil-
larney, Richmond and Maryland show
fine color and stems. They are abun-
dant in all grades. Some fine Ward
and Bulgarie are also seen, but not any
too many. Carnations are becoming
extra good in color and stem and there
seems to be a good crop on at present.
Enchantress, Ward, White Wonder and
others are seen at any of the wholesale
houses in quantities enough to supply
the demand, with top price at $4 per
hundred. Violets are selling well and
the price advanced last week to 75 cents
for the best California. It is said a
good crop is on for this week. Paper
Whites and stevias are selling fairly
well. Lilies and valley had a good
week.

Various Notes.

The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral
Co. gave its annual feast to the local
growers, at its place on Pine street, No-
vember 23. Over fifty growers from
Kirkwood, Clayton, Webster and Old
Orchard came in to spend the evening.
A .jolly crowd it was, with plenty of
refreshments and good cigars. The en-
tertainment consisted of singing, story-
telling and moving pictures. W. C.
Smith, Wm. Ossick, "Paddy" Patton,
Oscar Kuehn and "Billy" Vogel, in
fact the whole force, made things lively.
All say they had the time of their lives
and the night will be long remembered.

C. Young & Sons Co. is showing a fine
lot of the old-time camellia blossoms,
both pink and white. They go well in
funeral work.

Julius Schaefer has left the employ
of M. M. Ayres. It is rumored that he
will open a place of his own, on Olive
street near Grand avenue.

.7. F. Ammann and Henry Blixen, of
the J. F. Ammann Co., Edwardsville,
Til., in company with W. C. Smith,
paid a visit to Werner Bros., at Clayton,
last week. They inspected the big rose
houses, which were found in fine shape.
This concern has been cutting fancy
Killarneys and Richmond, which are
sold here by the Smith Wholesale Floral
Co.

Charlie Young and John Bentzen say
their efforts in organizing a florists'

They have lined up a lot of young
blood.

Violets have been in big demand all
the week and some good consignments
are coming in from Kirkwood, grown
by W. J. Pilcher, Wm. Winter, F. W.
Tide, Hugo Gross and E. Wolfsberger.
The cool weather has toned the quality
in fine shape.

Miss Newman and the Ellison Floral
Co. both recently have had several fash-
ionable events to decorate for.

A. Jablonsky, of Olivette, is sending
in ex^ra fancy long-stemmed carnations,
Ward, Enchantress and White En-
chantress. H. G. Berning says these
meet with an excellent demand at top
prices.

Another big week is reported at the
Missouri Botanic Garden for the chrys-
anthemum show. The fine weather of
last week brought out the fair sex in
large numbers.

Adolph Brix, of the Brix Floral Co.,
returned home from Europe November
19 in perfect health. He brought many
novelties with him for Christmas deco-
rations.

George Waldbart's place, on Grand
avenue, presents an especially good ap-
pearance this season.

John Connon, of Webster Groves, says
he has been using up his cut stock at
homei of late, having had a number of
weddings and other social work to fur-
nish.

President, Charlea N. Page, De* Moines, la.;
Sacretary-Treasarer, 0. B. Kendel, ClcTeland, O.

The Albert Dickinson Co., Chicago, is
having some difficulty getting building
permits from the city for its three new
seven-story seed warehouses.

The seed houses that have relied on
picking up bulbs in the open market
from day to day to fill their orders have
not found this a particularly easy or
profitable season.

The travelers for the Holland bulb
exporters have this season penetrated to
the Pacific coast in considerable number.
From the way the Hollanders scour the
country it is a wonder there is any busi-
ness left for the seedsmen, but there is.

According to New Jersey's official
statistician, the fruit and vegetable can-
ning industry of the state last year had
a product of 68,969,057 pounds, or more
than 34,000 tons; employed 4,766 per-
sons; paid $457,933 in wages; had a cap-
ital of $837,064 invested, and the total
selling value of all the products was
$2,173,567.

The California lima bean crop turned
out larger than was expected. The Lima
Bean Growers' Association has compiled
a record of the quantity threshed by
every threshing machine in the produc-
ing sections and finds the commercial
crop was only ten per cent less than last
year.

Bouquet gkeen picking in "Wisconsin
has been interrupted if not ended for the
season by enow in the woods. 'The month
has been a favorable one and the supply
appears to be somewhat larger than early
prospects indicated. The high prices may
have been a factor, by decreasing the de-
mand. At any rate, the market is not so
stiff as it was.

The house of Chr. Olsen, Odense, Den-
mark, will celebrate its fifty years'

The Florists* Review 67

A Message of Interest
from Braslan.

Henceforth, the Braslan Seed Growers Company, Inc., will con-
centrate on the growing of its specialties.

Henceforth, a full 90 per cent of our Seeds will be produced
under our own personal supervision on our own leased lands.
We have learned that this is the only plan by which the Quality
of our Seeds may be maintained and improved upon.

This new policy goes into force at once. The present manage-
ment of the Braslan Company desires to conduct a business
capable of rendering efficient, satisfactory SERVICE. Lopping off
the dead wood that retards the growth of the otherwise vigorous
plant, is the only businesslike method of securing this result.

San Jose, California, U. S. A.

We are now booking orders for 1913 delivery on the principal

varieties of ONION, LETTUCE, CARROT, RADISH,

"Vetches" is the title of Farmers'

It contains a chapter on vetch seed and
its adulterants, by F. H, Hillman, of the
departmental seed laboratory.

A SEED and nursery business has been
established at Pensacola, Fla., by Dr. W.
S. Vincent, who made the entire trip to
that city from Lansing, Mich., by auto-
mobile. The new enterprise will.be conj
ducted under tbe name of the Pensacola'

hausted. The prospects of next year's
seed crops are not favorable, as the
frost came this year too early and has
done great damage to the seedlings.
These were not protected in pits through
the scarcity of labor, which seems to
obtain even in Russia, as well as every-
where else. Notwithstanding the di-
minished seed crop this year, and the
smaller crop probable in 1913, the price
of mangel seed remains unchanged in
Russia, while in other countries there
is a better demand and rising price.

VALLEY PRICES ADVANCE.

The price of valley pips is being
forced upward by the present condi-
tions and it will be well for dealers in
cut flowers, forcers and jobbers in pips
to take note of the trend, to the end
that they be not deprived of their profit.
Pips must bring more money and, there-
fore, those who force them should re-
ceive more for the finished article. It
costs more to store pips than it for-
merly did; cold storage warehouses
everywhere are advancing their
charges; in many of the big cities it
costs twice as much as it used to cost to

The Florists^ Review

61

It is surprising to find how florists locate their business. Some towns are as completely
overloaded with florists as some are devoid of them. There are a few good towns in the U. S. A.
without the proper kind of florists. I once called on a florist in a western town, because of an
inquiry for bulbs. The town was large enough to support a good business, but after I had got
on the scent and located my man, my first inclination was to get away and forget it. Upon
second thought, however, I broke into the silent monotony. The greenhouses were old style
— the kind with brick walls, which made them look like a cross between a pickle factory and a
penitentiary. The proprietor suited the place. About the only shape he had was his Adam's-
apple, and that was hid largely by his beard, which he wore, I presume, because his wife bought
his neckties. He was a nice old fellow and all that, but was not a benefit to the business. He
grew callas, and other greenhouse junk in the bulb line, all mixed in with "pinks" and lettuce,
and on the whole it was one of those places which are a disgrace to the trade — just an old busi-
ness barnacle. There are many good towns ready for live florists to move into. There are also
many towns overloaded, ready for live florists to move out of. There are good towns and bad
towns. The good towns are generally made good towns by enterprising florists, and the best
way to make a good florist town is to keep good flowers and get good prices. There is nothing
which will kill a town quicker than cut-priced florists, because flowers are largely regarded as a
luxury, and there is no such thing as a cheap luxury. Cheap prices for cut flowers does not pay
anyone — does not increase trade enough to make the difference — and as an advertisement does
not pay as well as the same amount invested in the daily newspaper. Good flowers, at reason-
able prices, is what makes good flower towns. Good bulbs to produce good flowers at reason-
able prices is what makes good profits for the florists. Horseshoe Brand Lily Bulbs are good
bulbs. Try them. Write now.

carry a case of pips from one season to
the next. That is a reason for higher
cost of the cold storage stock now on
hand. But the principal reason for the
higher prices is found in the fact that
the production of pips has not kept pace
with the increased demand. This has
not made itself especially felt hereto-
fore, because of the fair crops, but this
year the new crop of prime valley is
considerably short — one large dealer
says about forty per cent of an ordi-
nary return in normal years — so that
importers of the better qualities are cut
considerably short on their orders this
autumn.

i Pacific Coast Department!

Eichland, Wash.— The Richland Nurs-
ery Co. has decided to add a greenhouse.
H. J. Lozier, formerly of Des Moines,
Iowa, will take charge of this depart-
ment.

Pomona, Cal. — The California Rose
Co. has purchased five acres of land
adjoining the present farm. "With this
addition, making the total area of the
rose farm twenty-five acres, the com-
pany hopes to be able for a time to
meet the increasing demand.

Tacoma, Wash. — Watson the Florist,
proprietor of the "Watson Flower Store,
in the Public Market building, has
opened a branch store at 937 ^^ C street.
Mr. Watson will manage the new store
personally, while Miss Watson will have
charge of the business at the Public
Market.

Oljrmpia, Wash. — C. Klam, proprietor
of the Capital City Nursery and Green-
houses, states that this town, with its
population of about 7,000, has four com-
mercial greenhouse establishments, be-
sides a finely equipped range of green-
houses on a private estate about twelve
miles distant. In spite of the strong
competition, however, he finds business
quite satisfactory.

Modesto, Cal. — The new greenhouses
of Ekstein & Ekstein, on the four-acre
tract just west of the cemetery, will
soon be ready for business. The build-
ings comprise two greenhouses, each
28x75, an office and show rooms 25x30,
a propagating house and a large lath
house. Besides fiowers and bulbs, the
firm will handle shrubs and trees, in-
cluding eucalyptus.

SAN BERNABDINO, CAL.

In southern California this year there
is a flurry in olive stock. The fruit
sells for a high price; it is said that
common fruit for pressing brings $90
per ton. Of course, this state of things
creates a fever in the business in trees
and young stock, and at present young
trees are not to be had at any price.
Great expense is being incurred in
making new hotbeds for starting new
cuttings, and many persons are going
into the business.

One new establishment that I visited
covers nearly an acre, and is said to
have placed in sand 6,000,000 cuttings
in one batch. I saw the hotbeds being
filled with sand and the bevy of girls
clipping up the cuttings, which were
being placed in the sand by men, and
it was a busy scene, but I did not count
the cuttings. The grounds are nearly
on a level, and the hotbeds are in long
rows along the length of the grounds.
Four lines of 2-inch pipe are laid on
the ground in each hotbed; the sand is
shoveled onto the pipes, and the cut-
tings are placed quite thickly, indeed.
Two boilers will furnish heat, one for
the hot water and the other to run the
pump which drives the hot water
through the pipes, as the water will not
run by itself on a level. Each hotbed
is covered with a sash of glass, and the
whole plat is lathed in about seven feet
above the ground.

W. G. Wright.

ARE YOU SATISFIED?

Any florist on the Pacific coast not
satisfied to do a local retail business
can build up a prosperous wholesale
trade by using space in The Review to
let the buyers know where stock is to
be found. This way:

We have found advertising in The
Review to be very satisfactory. We
have had orders from all parts of the
United States, as well as from the Pa-
cific coast, showing that your valued
paper has a very wide circulation. At
any time we have any special advertis-
ing to do we certainly shall send it to
The Review.— Hogan & Koo3nnan,
Oakland, Cal., October 3, 1912.

LOS ANGELES, CAL.

The Market.

Business fell off a little last week,
the usual quantity of funeral work not
materializing. But there were several
good decorations and these helped to
clean up flowers and greens. The lat-
ter have been in big demand for
Thanksgiving decorations. The quality
of the indoor roses now coming to the
market leaves quite a little to be de-
sired, and it would not be fair to blame
the weather, which has been ideal.
My Maryland is the best offering, with
Killarney a long way in the rear. Car-
nations are fairly good, the stems stiff
and bearing finely developed flowers.
Violets are poor, the heat by day tak-
ing the substance out of the petals.

making the flowers unsatisfactory for
street wear. A few local short-stemmed
gardenias are in and meet with a ready
sale. Orchids are not in great demand,
but they are not shown as freely as
they should be and this accounts to
some extent for the lack of interest in
the flowers. Chrysanthemums seem to
have broken out in a new place, there
being large numbers of Appleton, Eaton
and others in the wholesale stores.
Bulbous stock is represented by Paper
Whites and Chinese narcissi, a few lo-
cally grown flowers being shown. Cen-
taureas keep up well in quality and
price. Sweet peas are almost a failure
with many of the local growers and the
prospects for the winter crop are not
good. Those coming to market are poor
and short in stem. Candytuft helps out
finely in funeral work. There is enough
valley to go around, but little to share
at any time.

Plants are decidedly scarce, a few
Lorraine begonias of medium quality
only being offered. Boston ferns, small
palms and rubbers are offered, but there
is a great lack of pretty little plants in
small pots for basket use and decora- •
tion.

There is quite a large stock of greens
of all kinds on hand, but the demand
is here and orders for future delivery
are coming in freely.

Various Notes.

O. C. Saakes reports a heavy demand
and several large wedding decorations.
Wallace Boyd, who has been with Mr.
Saakes for many years, is now with the
H. N. Gage Co.

Dieterich & Turner are busy with
their large contracts for street planting,

Among the Thanksgiving orders at

for a large department store decoration
calling for about 150 wreaths of fire-

as twenty-one feet in circumference.
These large wreaths and the accom-

a big job, well handled.

days. The decorations were elaborate

Eosaia Bros, advertised their flower
show for November 16. The store was
crowded all day, and they made a fine
display of chrysanthemums, carnations
and roses.

P. Kromwell, representing C. J. Speel-
man & Sons, and Wm. Laughout, of Van
Zonneveld Bros. & Phillips, of Sassen-
heim, Holland, were calling on the trade
this week. They both report business
good.

The committee in charge of the Flo-

have it at Eedding's hall December 11.
Sub-committees were appointed, as it is
determined that the first winter func-

The Market.

Business is holding up well. The
cheerful, bright weather of the last few
days has brought the flowers out won-
derfully. Mums are in their glory and
are almost a glut in the market. Boses
are plentiful. Maids, Brides, Killarneys
and White Killarneys are just coming
into crop. Beauties have been off crop
for a few weeks. Hillingdons and
Wards have a tendency to be weak-
stemmed, but with more sunshine there
is hope for them. Carnations are in
oversupply. The same conditions pre-
vail everywhere, especially in the ship-
ping trade. The demand for violets,
valley and orchids is normal. There is
not much stirring socially. Funeral
work is rather slack. Ferns and palms
find a brisk demand.

Out at the greenhouses things are be-
ing rounded up for the Christmas trade.
Poinsettias are in good condition. Lor-
raines are good-sized and well grown.
There will be plenty of choice stock.
Cyclamens do not move at Christmas as
well as in former years.

tious will be changed, and much better
prices will prevail. There has been a
fair amount of funeral work divided
among the different stores. Indications
for Thanksgiving are that there will be
quite a bit of trade. Christmas berries
have made their appearance in town and
lend a holiday appearance to everything.
The few days of rain during last week
have made a splendid improvement in
violets. The best stock can be bought
at from 60 to 75 cents per dozen
bunches. Other lines of flowers are at
about the same as last week.

Various Notes.

A visit to the greenhouses of E.
James, at Elmhurst, shows several
splendid lots of ferns, palms, begonias
and poinsettias coming on for the holi-
days.

Adolph Kornflf, the gardener who com-
mitted suicide at Hillsborough a few
days ago, left $1,500 on deposit in a
savings bank here. The public admin-
istrator of San Mateo has taken charge
of the estate.

M. J. O'Gara & Co. have opened a
retail establishment on Seventh street,
between Broadway and Washington
streets, Oakland.

Much grading is being done on the
site of the exposition and the landscape
force will soon be ready to take a hand.

The Market street seedsmen, without
exception, report a splendid trade in
bulbs this fall. There has been a steady
advance on last year's orders and all
are practically sold out for the sea-
son. G.

A PUTF WITH AN AD.

Thomas A. Edison is a hard-headed
man,^nd he has hard-headed men about
him. They do not fall for the ' ' salve ' '
that is the greatest weakness of a large
class of publications.

A few weeks ago the Edison Storage
Battery Co. began a series of advertise-
ments in a number of publications, ex-
ploiting a new battery. This is the way
one of the advertisements begins:

"If you will procure a map, draw a
lot of dotted radial lines from Orange
as the center, and extending to the
farthermost parts of the United States,
each dot will denote a representative
of some advertising medium on his way
to cajole our venerable gate keeper,
Kennedy, into passing him up to my
office. The avalanche started the day
after the first announcement of this
series of letters. I have been compelled
to disappoint them.

"Several gentlemen were especially
insistent. Offered to guarantee as much
matter in the reading columns as would
appear in the advertising pages!

"I remember the feeling of disgust
and misplaced confidence that pervaded
me when, as a boy, I read an interest-
ing article on some subject which
proved to be an advertisement, adroitly
worded, in the reading columns of a
paper to which my father was a sub-
scriber. It is needless to say those
'guaranteed reading matter' men did
not sell any space. I lacked confidence
in their papers.

"The reading matter and advertis-
ing columns of a paper should have
'Divorce' written between them.

"I suppose you are wondering what
all this has to do with a storage bat-
tery. There is no connection. I sim-
ply wish to state to some of those who
may be preparing to make a journey

to Orange to save us from ruin by ad-
vising us how to spend our money that
we do not wish to purchase any more
space at present, and when we do we
will make the selection and expect to
pay for what we get.

"I only wish the publicity graft evil
could be eradicated from all the papers
as it is from some of them. People are
interested in reading of a successful
man, new products, etc. The lauda-
tions should, however, emanate from an
unprejudiced pen. Properly edited, the
press is the nation's greatest power for
good. It has the confidence of the pub-
lic, and should not abuse it.

"Now let us get down to business."

Albany, N. Y.— The new store of the
Rosery Flower Shop, at 23 Steuben
street, is conveniently located and well
equipped, and is far more commodious
than the former quarters on Maiden
lane. The firm makes a specialty of
dollar boxes of flowers during the last
days of each week, and these boxes
were a prominent and successful fea-
ture at the opening of the new store.

This vreek's obituary column contains
a report of the death of George A. Sweet,
a nurseryman of Dansville, N. Y.

The American Forestry Co., South
Framingham, Mass., has been awarded
the silver medal of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society for nurseries of
forest trees.

The Glenn County Nursery Co. has
been incorporated here, with a capital
stock of .$25,000, by A. H. Bacharach,
Mrs. Hannah Bacharach and Attorney
A. J. Zumwalt. The company is empow-
ered to do a general nursery and canning
and preserving business.

The will of the late Joshua I. Max-
well, the nurseryman of Geneva, N. Y.,
has been admitted to probate and his
estate is estimated to be worth $500,000.
Of this amount, about $40,000 has been
bequeathed to institutions connected with
the Presbyterian denomination. Several
of his immediate heirs receive $14,000
each.

In order to add to the membership of
the Texas State Horticultural Society,
prizes for those who secure the most new
members have been offered by Griflfing
Bros. Co., Port Arthur; Stark Bros. Co.,
Louisiana, Mo.; the Texas Nursery Co.,
Sherman; the Austin Nursery Co., Aus-
tin; W. A. Stockwell, of Alvin, and other
nurserymen.

F. W. Watson & Co., the nurserymen
of Topeka, Kan., have completed a new
warehouse, erected at a cost of about
$5,000. The Union Pacific railway has
laid a side track to the building. It is
expected that between seventy-five and
100 carloads of trees, chiefly fruit trees,
will be graded and slipped from the
plant during the winter.

PBOPAOATION OF HOLLT.

On a property we acquired a few
weeks ago we find an old holly tree,
over two feet in diameter, standing
alone in an open field. The tree is as
tall and broad as an old apple tree, and
the top has a fair sprinkling of red
berries. The severe freezing of last
winter evidently did not injure it in
the least. Evidently it is hardy in
Pennsylvania. As this is the only tree
we know to be a native, we are anxious
to know how to propagate from this
specimen. M. & S.

popular method of propagation is by
seeds. These can be gathered when
fully ripe, stratified by being kept
in dry sand over winter and sown in
flats or frames containing any light
soil free from manure and fairly sandy.
The seeds will not germinate until the
second season, so do not become ner-

holly may also be propagated by short
cuttings of the mature wood, rooting in
a cool greenhouse in winter. Plant the
cuttings in clear sand and keep them

LANCASTER, PA.

Every seat in the Chamber of Com-
merce rooms was occupied and camp
stools called into requisition for the
meeting of the Lancaster County Flo-
rists' Club November 21. The subject
of the evening was: "Does It Pay to
Grow Chrysanthemums! " M. J. Brin-
ton, of Christiana, and B. F. Barr, of
Lancaster, opened the discussion. Mr.
Brinton told how they handle mums
with other crops and, in conclusion,
said: "Chrysanthemums pay; anything
that the public uses can be made to
pay just as soon as high quality is pro-
duced at a moderate cost. The public
want chrysanthemums and will pay for
good ones." Mr. Barr said that his
experience had been varied; sometimes
he had found them profitable, sometimes
not. "It has been our custom the last
few years to grow as few varieties as
possible, each variety being scheduled
to bloom at a certain season. The va-
rieties we consider most profitable from
a retail point of view are as follows:
For the early varieties. Golden Glow,
yellow; Polly Rose, white; Glory of
Pacific, pink. Unaka is considered a
great favorite by many, but with us it
was a failure. For the mid-season va-
rieties we grow Eobert Halliday, yel-
low; White Cloud, white; McNiece,
pink, and Bonnaffon, yellow. For the
late varieties we grow both yellow and
white Jerome Jones, Lynnwood Hall,
white; Maud Dean, pink, and Rosette,
pink."

This was followed by a general dis-
cussion, in which many good points
were brought out. Mr. Nagle had made
a success of the early varieties with
the use of sash to cover an outdoor
space. Mr. Law found the following up
with carnations from 4-inch pots a suc-
cess where Golden Glow was the variety
used. S. S. Skidelsky was a visitor and
advised the growing of some of the
better new varieties, as the larger grow-
ers are discarding old varieties for new
ones, and they certainly know what
they are doing.

It is proposed to have a visiting tour
about once a month during the growing
season, the first one being November
.30, to Manheim, some thirty signifying
their intention to go. A. M. H.

a light salmon pink— a color that is not only very attractive, no inclination to be a burster. The weak points of Enchant-
but also one that endures full exposure to the sun without ress seem to have been lost in this Sport, and a trial of four
bleaching. A good all-round Carnation that retains its color years' duration convinces us of its great value.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS.

The Market.

At this writing everything is in
readiness for Thanksgiving. There is
an abundance of chrysanthemums on
hand, and they are all of good quality.
Carnations are much improved, retail-
ing at 75 cents per dozen. All kinds
of roses are good, with the exception of
Bichmonds. These are only fair and arc
scarce. Beauties, too, are rather short
of the demand. Violets are excellent
and a big sale is expected for Thanks-
giving. Valley is selling better now
Snd is of first-class quality. Orchids
are going, but there is no great de-
mand. Some good cyclamens and aza-
leas are being displayed at the various
shops.

Various Notes.

Harry Brat, of Agawam, spent several
days on the Wesson estate doing gar
dening work. The estate is in Palmer,
Mass.

N. F. McCarthy & Co., of Boston,
sent some good Richmond roses to this
city last week.

Sam Eintrecht, of Wertheimer Bros.,
New York, is calling on the city trade.

The boilers at E. B. Beals' establish-
ment on Eastern avenue gave out a
short time ago and he had to use oil
stoves to keep his stock warm. His
carnations were greatly retarded by
the unfortunate happening.

"The Underworld of the Plant King-
dom" was the subject of the lecture
given November 20 by A. Vincent
Osmun, under the auspices of the Mu-
seum of Natural History, in Blake
hall. This is the first of a series of
eleven botanical lectures to which the
public is invited.

A new store, called the Flower Mart,
opened November 16 at 80 Main street.
It is finished in white enamel through-
out. Nelson F. Higgins and Fred E.
Vetter are the proprietors.

Meacham & Hassell have added a
large new mirror to their fixtures,
which greatly improves the appearance
of their store.

houses for several years.
<!, It has proved to be a strong, vigorous grower, and its freedom

of bloom is remarkable for a rose that is fully as large as an

American Beauty.

IL Its large, pointed buds, of a clear rose-pink and delightfully
sweet fragrance, are the admiratioQ of all who have seen it,
either growing in our houses or as exhibited by us at the
different shows.

<t It has received high honors when exhibited at such centers as
Philadelphia, New York and Boston. At the latter place the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society honored it with a Gold
Medal, a rare distinction from this conservative society.

Plants will be ready for delivery after IMarch 1, 1913

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

Business is still on the increase and
, everyone is looking forward to a busy
,.week for Thanksgiving. One thing the
florists of this city will miss, on turkey
day, is the football contest between
Kansas and Missouri universities. Usu-
ally they sell about 5,000 mums to the
football rooters. Everybody is about
sold out of mums. Carnations are sell-
ing better on the market this week.

Various Notes.

Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co.
has been having a heavy cut of Amer-
,ican Beauties this week. Chrysanthe-
mums are about exhausted with this
concern.

Henry Kusik & Co. report that home-
grown carnations are improving a great
deal. Eoses and chrysanthemums are
moving well.

Arthur Newell has his store nicely
arranged this week. He has one of the
best locations in the city.

W. L. Rock has returned from St.
Paul and reports business good. He
says they have a fine lot of orchids
at their greenhouses, but the demand is
greater than the supply.

Among the recent visitors were E. C.
Pruner, representing Poehlmann Bros.
Co., Chicago, and Frank Farney, repre-
senting M. Rice & Co., Philadelphia.
W. J. B.

Princton, 111.— W. E. Trimble Green-
house Co. is putting up four more
houses, to be used principally for roses,
carnations, chrysanthemums, rooted cut-
tings and pot plants.

AIAUCARIA8

OUR
SPECIALTY

Aiaucaria Ezcelsa is a Christmas novelty of
ours that has no end. Twenty-five years of im-
porting, cultivating and shipping of Araucarla
Excelsa gained us such a reputation all over
America, from ocean to ocean, that It has aroused
the young as well as the old. and has Inflamed
them to such an extent that they want at least
one or two of these so much prized evergreen
pine trees at Cl^ristgias on the Christmas table
or tn any suitable p)Me in the home. Look!
Christmas trees will be scarce this Christmas.
Why? Have you read the report of the United
States Department of Agriculture, Notice of
Quarantine No. 4 (Domestic), effective on and
after Nov. 25th. 1912? This is on account of
two injurious insects, the gypsy moth and the
brown tail moth, and contains some regulations
on Christmas trees, especially for some of the
eastern states. If you will write to the United
States Department of Agriculture, they will mall
you all particulars on this subject. A Christmas
tree everybody wants to have, especially for the
dear little ones. Now, what will you do? "I
know what I am going to do. I will write an
order to Godfrey Aschmann for an Araucarla for
our table. It will serve a two-fold purpose.
First, It will do the duty of a Christmas tree;
second, we will then place It in our parlor as an
excellent permanent decorative plant."

The Florists' Review

NOVBMBBB 28, 1912.

BOCHESTEB, N. Y.

IStcyj^arket.

The i&arket improved last week, but
was still short. This is the usual con-
dition for the week before Thanksgiv-
ing. The growers are inclined to hold
back in anticipation of higher Thanks-
giving prices, but it is doubtful if they
get them. The florists are freely using
the Thanksgiving card as prepared by
the publicity commi4;tee of the New
York Florists' Club.

Various Notes.

Felix Alberts, store manager for H.
P. Neun, has a decorated Thanksgiving
table in the window this week. It is
a round table set complete for twelve
covers. This is the first such decora-
tion seen here since the one Mr. Alberts
put in last Thanksgiving. He has a
nice lot of pot-grown stevias coming
in. Besides these he is expecting a
shipment of fine rhododendrons, prunus,
lilacs, azaleas, etc. This week he is
having a special sale of Boston ferns
at 35 cents each. Mr. Neun's three
new 150-foot houses are nearly com-
pleted.

J. B. Keller Sons have a fine house
of poinsettias. They are not growing
up tall and leaving a long, bare stem,
but are comparatively short, with the
leaves set close together. They are not
inclined to drop the leaves as soon as
is usually the case. Keller's houses
also contain a nice stock of cyclamens
and Lorraine begonias.

The Bochester Floral Co. has had a
special sale of bulbs of white tulips at
$1 per hundred.

At the December meeting of the
Bochester Florists' Association Fred
Brown, of Buffalo, will give an address
on "Design and Decoration."

James Vick's Sons report an unprec-
edented bulb sale this year.

John Vollmar, of J. B. Keller Sons,
did a nice job of landscape gardening
when he decorated their window last
week. It represented a formal garden
with pond and fountain. S. A.

Clinton, Mass.— A. P. Meredith & Son,
who a few months ago purchased the
business of E. W. Breed, will open a
store in the Fhilbin block, on High
street. The building is well adapted
for the display of flowers.

Clinton, la. — ^Frank P. and Boy
Sawyer, father and son, have succeeded
in developing a strain of pansies with
flowers of unusually large size. Many
of the blooms, it is said, are more than
two inches in diameter. Shipping busi-
ness has been good and included a re-
cent order for 25,000 plants to be sent
to Jacksonville, Fla.

•••

Middletown, C— N. O. Selby has had
his chrysanthemum houses wired for
electric lights, which makes a great im-
provement in his place of business. His
stock is excellent and many people
now visit the houses in the evening to
see the show.

Fiudlay, O. — J. J. Waaland states
that a recent newspaper report about a
change in the name of his firm was in-
correct. Though George A. Palmer is
now a member of the company, the
name has not been changed to Waa-
land & Palmer, as reported, but the old
name of Waaland & Co. is still re-
tained.

Brookings, S. D. — Mr. Stoltenberg,
the college florist, recently invited the
public to an exhibition of chrysanthe-
mums in the college greenhouses. The
exhibition was continued for a week,
with an electric illumination in the
evenings. The whole display, including
a decorated bridal table, was highly
creditable to Mr. Stoltenberg.

Woodbine, Md. — The beautiful
grounds and greenhouses at the
Oakdale estate, where Charles Mil-
burn is head gardener, were thrown
open to the public recently, when
the chrysanthemums were at their
best. Among the varieties attract-
ing most attention were Silver Wed-
ding, the three Ivories, Pacific Su-
preme, Nonin, Bonnaffon, White Bon-
naffon, Wm. Duckham, Timothy Eaton,
Yellow Eaton, and a large variety of
pompons. The new single, Garza, was
particularly admired. Great credit is
due Mr. Milburn for the fine condi-
tion of the flowers. A large display of
vegetables proved of special interest
to the farmers. All the farmers' clubs
in the district were invited to Oakdale
and were entertained by the former
governor, Edwin Warfield.

PAPER WHITES WITH PEAS.

I should like to find out whether
Paper Whites can be successfully
grown in the same house with sweet
peas. The benches are five feet wide.
I have two rows of peas in each Jbed
and the rows are planted about*"one
foot from the edge of the bed. Could
the Paper Whites be best grown be-
tween the rows or on the outside? How
long would it take to get flowers?
What is the best variety Is there any-
thing that would do better than Paper
Whites? S. C. C.

Paper White narcissi will do well
with your sweet peas. There will not
be any space to grow them between
the sweet pea rows, but on the outer
sides of the benches they will do nicely,
either planted directly in the bench or,
better still, started in pans or flats if
jou have bench space of sufficient
width to accommodate them. If you
keep your sweet peas at an average
temperature of 50 degrees at night, it
will take eight to ten weeks to flower
the Paper Whites. If started in flats
before being placed on the benches, it
will take only half this time. If you
have raised benches, the best plan will
be to place the flats of bulbs below
them until well started, later lifting
them onto the benches.

Spanish iris could be planted outside

the pea rows, but would not flower
until spring; neither would any of the
gladioli. If your roAi^s were farther
apart you could grow single or double
violets between them until the peas
shaded them too much. Of course 50
degrees, which suits sweet peas, is warm
for violets, but up to the flowering
period the peas do well run 5 degrees
cooler. C. W.

PLANTS SHIPPED LONG WAY.

Will you kindly advise us what is a
good fertilizer to restore the foliage on
cyclamens? We have our plants shipped
from so great a distance that when they
arrive the foliage has either rotted or
dried up and it takes a long time for
them to get into a salable condition
again. H. B.

Once the foliage has rotted or dried
up on cyclamens it is not easy to bring
them into salable condition again. Pre-
suming that they are well rooted, you
can apply weak doses of liquid cow
manure water containing some soot
once a week. If you can also procure
a small quantity of Bon Arbor and
use it at the rate of a teaspoonful to
three gallons of water you will find it
excellent. As a surface dressing we
have found nothing to beat Clay's fer-
tilizer. An application of a small
spoonful once a fortnight to each 6-inch
pot will tone them up finely. Lightly
scratch over the surface soil before
applying it, but be sure not to drop
any of the fertilizer on the corm or
foliage. Give the plants a night tem-
perature of 50 to 55 degrees. C. W.

THE HARD COAL SITUATION.

The coal question is extremely inter-
esting just now, not only to florists but
to the whole country. The article in
The Review for November 14 was espe-
cially interesting to me, as I live in the
hard coal fields and am always inter-
ested in articles concerning coal, as I
have made some study of it.

I see many articles in the New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago papers which
are considerablj' misleading and give
the people a wrong impression concern-
ing the coal conditions.

Hard coal will never be so plentiful
again as it has been; while there will
be hard coal for a good many years to
come, the free and easy output of coal
is a thing of the past. In bygone days
coal was obtained so easily, and the
demand was correspondingly so light,
that many tons of coal were thrown
out in what are called culm piles, that
dot the hard coal fields. This culm has
been used for ballasting railroad tracks
and filling trestling, and hundreds of
thousand? of tons were dumped so as to
be washed down into the river beds and
<!arried away. These culm piles are
now all being reclaimed, and some of
these railroad fills on the old Gravity,
which has been abandoned, are being
sold at high prices. A company is
being formed to dredge the river beds,
and it is fortunate that we have this
waste of the past at hand, to be put
into quick use at this time, for at
August 1 this year the supply, as com-
pared with the supply of August 1,
1911, was nearly 6,000,000 tons short.

It will take a long time for this
shortage to be made up, especially if
this is a hard winter. It is doubtful
if the output this season will ever catch
up with the 1911 output. It must be
remembered tJiat the thinner veins are
l)oing resorted to, pillars are being
robbed, and the mining of virgin coal is
i^etting farther and farther from the
breakers, so the supply is being con-
stantly lessened, while the demand is
over increasing.

The reasons for this increased de-
mand are obvious. Our increased popu-
lation is making a material and appar-
<'nt reason for the increased demand.
The wood supply is growing rapidly
less. The severe winter of 1911-12
cleaned up, presumably, every coal bin
in the country, and drew so heavily on
the companies that they )iad no oppor-
tunity of stocking coal as in a milder
winter. The six weeks' suspension cur-
miled the supply by several million

— there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. Condensation in
steam lines is akin to matter out of place — means wasted energy.
If your lines are sluggish — if your houses are not of uniform

the companies are glad when Sunday
iiomes to get their empty cars back for
Monday's output.

The attitude of the laboring men
toward the wage agreement, which, by
the way, has not yet been signed,
causes many grievances to spring up at
this or that colliery. For instance, at
one Lackawanna colliery all the union
working force went on a strike for two
days because the hoisting engineer was
not a union man. Here was a shortage
of 3,000 tons due to two days of idle-
ness. At the collieries of the Scranton
<!oal Co., at Peckville, some such con-
ditions have existed, but they are just
settled. The Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre
"'Ompanies' men have been having some
«;iievances which stopped the breakers,
and consequently stopped the supply.

of coal stocked anywhere in the hard
coal section.

There is a great deal of noise about
the rise in the price of coal and many
foolish things appear in the papers. In
an interview I had today with a coal
man he assured me the above condi-
tions, as I have represented them, are
true. He asserts positively that none
of the large companies has raised the
price of coal or taken advantage of the
scarcity and the ever-increasing de-
mand. They are trying to satisfy all
customers by giving them at least a
part of their order, but in no case are
they able to supply the full wants. I
asked him if it would be possible to
get coal from his company to send to
any florists who might be in urgent
need of coal. He said: "It would be
impossible to get it to anyone oflF our
line of railway; the selling is all han-
dled from the New York end."

The large companies at the time of
the big strike in 1902 did not raise the
price of coal above the agreed market
price at that time, viz.: $5; and they
are now not raising their price.

If the public in general understood
this they would have a different feeling
toward the large companies, for they
are offered better prices than they are
asking. The individual operators are
getting the premium; the large com-
panies are holding firm, and not taking
advantage. What other business is
there in the land that would not take
advantage of this honest difference be-
tween supply and demand f I was in
New York and Boston in August and
called on some wholesale coal dealers.
At each place customers were offering
a premium over the then price of coal,
and these wholesale dealers were offer-
ing premiums to mine operators. 1
know of New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia coal dealers who came to Scran-
ton and offered individual operators a
large advance margin for the black
diamftnds, and they got them. "Who
can blame the individual operator?
Who can blame the dealers so long as
the people are willing to pay the
price!

If any florists have been, or are in
danger of being cornered for coal, I
think I could secure some of the smaller
sizes of hard coal for them; a little
chestnut, some pea, and more buck-
wheat No. 1 and No. 2, and. I might
be able to obtain some of the larger
sizes. I would not make this offer, only
I know the importance to greenhouse
men of keeping from freezing out. The
eastern market will be relieved after
lake navigation closes up; in the sum-

The Market.

The weather has been extra fine for
this time of the year, up till the night
of November 23, when we had our first
snow of the season. It is still cold and
apparently winter is here. Business has
been good, especially during the last
week, which was unusually gay in a
social way. There were a great many
decorations for dinners, receptions, etc.,
and large quantities of mums, carna-
tions and roses were used. The bulk of
the mum crop is off and soon the roses
and carnations will hold sway.

Various Notes.

Ben Kramer has been having consid-
erable to do right along. His new loca-
tion is quite an improvement over the
old one.

J. C. Elspermann will soon be cleaned
up on mums. They sold unusually well
this year. His carnations are better
than ever, and his other stock of plants
is good, too.

Louis Fritsch says business has been
good with him. His carnations are look-
ing fine, with a good crop coming for
Christmas. He looks for a big trade
and expects to be short of flowers.

Miss Nellie Goodge is improving in
health and getting stronger. She had
two good wedding jobs for November
25 and 26 and used a good many roses
as well as other flowers.

Julius Niednagel & Sons have a large
crop of roses and carnations for their
Thanksgiving trade.

SOBANTON, PA.

Some building has been going on in
Scranton this summer. T. B. McClin-
tock, whose plant is situated close to
the entrance of the Forest Hill ceme-
tery, at the corner of Electric street
and Jefferson avenue, in Ihinmore, has
built a block of ten houses and has them
nearly ready to occupy. One house is
10x130 and the other nine are each
12x54 and seven feet to the eave plate.
These houses will be lised for forcing
valley and other bulb stock, and for
growing a general line of cut flowers
and spring bedding plants. They will
be heated by a Lord & Burnham steam
boiler. These additional houses help to
make Mr. McClintock's plant more com-
plete, as he already had a fine range
of houses and grew a large variety of
carnations, chrysanthemums, bouvar-
dias, sweet peas and greens.

The Davis Floral Co. has rented a
double store on the 500 block of Spruce
street, next door to A. L. Besancon &
Co., florists. The Davis Co. 's floor space
is about 30x60 feet, with a space in
the rear for a greenhouse which they
are going to erect. The greenhouse will
be 30x100 feet. They are now furnish-
ing the store with new fittings. When
completed it will be a handsome, light
and airy place. They have a complete
growing plant in the Hyde Park section
of the city, from which point they have
been doing a retail business. They are
growing some fine carnations and chrys-
anthemums. Their new store on Spruce
street will give a much better connec-
tion with the retail trade. It will be
open for the Thanksgiving trade.

The White-Jermyn wedding, which
has just taken place here, was an un-
usually large and fashionable one. Two
thousand invitations were issued. Morel
Bros, had the decorations at the church;
A. L. Besancon & Co. decorated the
house.

The bulb planting season is about
closed. This week will probably wind
up this branch of the trade in and about
this section, A great many more than
usual have been planted this year.

Hot-beds
and Cold-Drames

Double-Glass

Double Profits

The old single layer hot-bed sash are bet-
ter than none, but they must be covered,
and boards, mats or shutters are pure waste.

The new Sunlight Double Glass Sash with
two layers of glatis enclosing an air space,
are

Complete in Themielves.

They eliminate covets and half the labor;
they admit all the light to store warmth in
the bed and then ^ave the warmth at night.
They make plants strong and early. They
double net profits.
Every practical
gardener or florist
will see the value
of this.

It is good busi-
ness for you to g-t
oar-free catalogue.

Write your ad-
dress p1ai"l} and

hot-bed season is

"I thank you for the flowers you sent," she said,
And she smiled and blushed and drooped her head.
"I'm sorry for the words I spoke last night—
Your sending the flowers proved that you were right.
Forgive me."
AND HE FORGAVE HER.
"And as they walked and talked in the leafy bowers.
He wondered who in thunder sent her those flowers."

ROSES

Vv-

Our Rose crops are coming on strong. No question of our ability to supply anything wanted
Roses between now and the new year. Crops will get heavier right along. Specially strong on Killajl
ney, White Killarney and Richmond, but can supply everything else the market affords. Most of thj
cut runs from medium to long. Quality never was better. You can't beat Randall's Roses.

Now booklnir orders for Chriatmas

STEVIA

MAGNOLIA LEAVES

One of the hardest things to get
right is Magnolia Leaves. So many
are "spotty" in color and get brittle
quickly. You don't mind paying a
little more for Magnolia Leaves
that are "just so." In buying from
us you get stock that is aU you ask
and at a price that is surely right

Per Hamper

Brown and Green $1.60

Christmas Red (a hit) 1.76

WILD SMILAX

They will tell you Wild Smilax
is scarce this season, but neverthe-
less we get a daily shipment and
can fill orders promptly with fresh-
picked stock. Larger orders
shipped to you direct from the
woods, and a few days' notice is
appreciated. Quality guaranteed.
Per ease of 50 lbs., $6.00.

^'4 .^

Stevia is so useful that the wonder is how the trade can get along during the part of the ye
when Stevia is not available. Everybody uses it in quantity while it is to be had. But there is a lol
of difference in the quality of Stevia. As with everything else, some growers do it very much bettea
than others. We have encouraged our best growers of Stevia to largely increase the production th
season. So now we can supply any quantity. And it is fine. Order some today.

Now booking orders for Christmas

ORCHIDS

To be a success as an Orchid grower, a man must accomplish two things : He must produce first
class quality and he must get the bulk of his cut at a time when the varieties ordinarily are off CTop.|
Our growers are successful. Not only do we have the finest quality of home-grown western Cattleyas.
immense in size, but we are getting our crop after the heavy autumn crops of other growers havj
passed. You can get the finest Cattleyas of us in quantity.

Now bookings orders for Christmas

VIOLETS

The quality of the Violets has now become such that we can recommend them highly. The big
dark blue doubles from the Hudson River and the fresh, fragrant, home-grown singles are now fine-
and we can supply a practically unlimited quantity. For many years we have led the western marl
kets on Violets. We handle enormous quantities daily. You can build up a big trade, just as we havl
done, if you handle our Violets.

Now bookings orders for Christmas

No matter what you want in cut flowers, Randall's should be your source of supply. You can %t\
here all the cut flowers that are in season. There never is a time when we cannot supply everythioij
that anybody else can supply — and frequently we have stock not to be had elsewhere, for growers knon
we have here the biggest, broadest and best outlet for fancy stock of all kinds.

CHRISTMAS GREENS

We have made elaborate preparations for supplying all
kinds of Christmas Greens. It is impossible to quote prices
on this stock, because the market fiuctuates daily— and we
always give our customers the benefit We have already had
several shipments.

HOI I V i^ ^°® stock, bright green and well ber-

supply in quantity. The stock is fine. Glad to quote on bulk
green or wreathing. Wire for quotations. The market for
this stock is very erratic, but is lower now than it was earlier
in the season. We always can quote lowest prices.

You will need a lot of Red Berries for Christmas. Ours are exceptionally fine this year. We ca^
supply in quantity at from $1.50 to $3.50 per case. Better order now and avoid any possibility of disappointment

BOXWOOD FOR CHRISTMAS

We ask that you order some of our Boxwood now, so that you can see the quality of oil
stock and compare it with what you have had from others. We are sure that you vpill wa
us to supply you for Christmas, for
our Boxwood is extra fine this
year. We already have booked a
large number of big orders for ship-
ment this month, but have not by
any means booked up our supply,
for it will be the largest ever. Or-
der enough. Remember that you
take no risk. Boxwood keeps in-
definitely. If you don't use it all
for Christmas, use it up in designs
in January, wheu flowers usually
are rather scarce.

The Largest Supply in America

The experienced buyer of Ruscus knows that there
B fully as many qualities of Ruscus as there are
uses dyeing it. Good Rusous, bright and even in
[or, is about the best seller the trade has got hold of in
my a day. But the duU, dirty-colored, moldy, spotted
iscus— well, about all you can do with tliat kind is to
ip it back to the house you got it from and order some
illy good Ruscus from Randall. Randall's Ruscus is
epared according to the celebrated Idarechal method,
lis means supreme quality. A post card will bring yju
mples and prices. Send one today. You really should
t buy except by sample— the price means noUiinflf
itil you see the quality. Bright Christmas red,
3let, green, lavender, cerise, purple, gold, silver, etc.— any
lor you want promptly made up to order if not in stock.

RIBBONS AND CHIFFONS

We believe we have the largest and best selected stock in America

Florists' Ribbons and Chiffons — not a yard of dry-goods-store stock

the house, as we sell only to florists. We have an extra g^ood
tiriatmas red in each width of three qualities, extra heavy, medium and good,
\k and satin. Also every special flower color. While ail our stock is priced at the
west rate at which that grade can be sold, the bulk of our business is on the medium-
iced lines— we handle these in such enormous quantity that we are confident these
e the best values ever offered the trade. Due to conditions beyond control,
ices on Chiffons have advanced all over the world. We foresaw this advance and
ade contracts with the mills, both in this country and Europe, that on many lines
able us to sell at what the same lines would cost now.
You can order by mail with perfect confidence.

PLANT AND FLOWER BASKETS

We have an enormous stock of Baskets, including every size and shape for every
irpose. We can supply exactly what is wanted. We have Baskets that sell at from
Ic to 16c apiece and others that sell at from $2.U0 to $■^50 each, with hundreds of
yles and sizes between. We make a specialty of selling Baskets in assortments, $5.'^0 worth.
.0.00, If 15.00. $20.00, $ ^6.00— any quantity you want. Just give us a line on the purposes for
hieh you want to use the Baskets, or mention the size or the price per Basket. We know the
ieds of the florists, and we never fail to please with our selections.

POT COVERS OF ALL KINDS

It would take this entire advertisement to describe and price our entire line of Pot Covers
id materials for pot covering. We have absolutely everjrthing in the Pot Cover line, from the
|W-priced domestic Crepe Paper, in all colors, to the very best grade of heavy Chiffon Raffia
ats ; also a large number of ready-to-use Pot Covers of Crepe Paper and a big variety of
asket Pot Covers. You can't order anything for pot covering that we cannot supply. And
andall prices are guaranteed to be at least as low as the prices of any other house. You can
rder Pot Covers by mail of Randall with perfect assurance that you could not do better if you
ere buying in person.

^^THE Special Christmas Number of The Review is one of the
most important of the year — important to advertisers as well
as to the Editor and the readers.

J[T NOT only is it the issue used most heavily by those who have
prepared for a big Christmas business, but it is the issue
selected by a very large number of advertisers for beginning the
spring campaign.

^ WITH everybody buying heavily at this season, and with so
comprehensive a showing of advertising as is made, every
subscriber finds the Christmas Number an important aid in his
purchasing. Thousands await its arrival as the signal for placing
their orders.

^ THE last forms for the Christmas Number, to be out December
12, close at 5 p. m. Tuesday, December 10. Don't be late.

508 South Dearborn Street, Chicago.

PLANT COMBINATIONS. ,
We take pleasure in calling the attention
of the trade to our Plant Comlbinations for
Christmas sales. These are better thaji any
heretofore oifered. This year the same idea
of filling them early in order to thoroughly
establish them has again been carried out,
but instead of using tubs or the ordinary re-
ceptacle, we have had made artistic baskets,
etc., which are shown in the cuts. These are
well made boxes, covered with birch bark and
rattan. The baskets we have in three sizes,
8", 10" and 12", and a special indoor window
box 18" long, 6" deep and 6" wide. In filling
these the styles are varied in order to give
variety and nothing but high class plants are
used in the filling, such as Crotons, Pandanus,
Dracaenas in variety. Ferns, etc. Last year
we sent our plant combinations to all the
large cities and while then in the ordinary
green tub they met with the highest approval
everywhere. These filled this year we cannot
recommend too highly and assure you much
time and thought has been spent to have them
thoroughly durable and artistically correct.

EDUCATION FOR i^
<^ YOUNG FLORISTS

T has been hardly seventy-five
years since the florists' busi-
ness began to assume any con-
siderable importance in the
United States and it has been
only within recent years that the in-
dustry has developed along broad busi-
ness principles. Th6 day of the general
commercial grower is passing and the
specialist is the prominent florist of
today. , The owner of large enterprises
or the'managers of the same, however,
must not be limited to a specialty, but
must have a broad general knowledge
of all branches of the industry. Com-
petition was never greater than at the
present time, the margin of profits has
decreased and the business now de-
mands men trained t6 the fullest ex-
tent of their intellectual ability.

As in general farming, the flower
growers are coming slowly to realize
that theirs is a distinct profession, as
definite and important as the profes-
sion of medicine or law. The business
world demands "captains of industry"
to conduct large operations. These men
are of necessity broadly educated.
Many of our florists ' establishments are
passirig from the "small mill" stage
into the huge factory, with its many de-
partments of specialized labor. The flo-
rist of the future must be the pro-
gressive man, the educated man, who
can supervise and direct these large
enterprises.

The Demand for Training.

While it is true that many men de-
velop an aptitude for business without
special training, history has shown that
those most successful are the educated
men. Many times this education has
been self-acquired and has come after
long years of patient labor, but it has
nevertheless been essential for the suc-
cess of the individual.

Frequently it is said that there are
no good American florists. The men
who have been the most successful have
received their preparation through a
period of apprenticeship and training
in England, Germany or some other
European country. I do not in the
least question the splendid impetus
these men have given the industry and
the skill which they have shown, but I
think that the time has come when
the sons of these men and the sons of
American-born florists and others should
have even better educational facilities
and training in this country than can
be obtained abroad.

America boasts of her splendid edu-
cational systems, and it is true that
along many lines there are no better
methods of teaching in the world than
are found in our public and private
schools and colleges. There has been an
effort to furnish those branches in the
curricula of educational institution^
which meet a demand. That there are
not better schools in which to train
gardeners and florists seems to be not
.so much the fault of the institutions

An abstract of an address before the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club of Boston, November 19, 1912,
by Prof. E. A. White, of Amherst, Mass.

as the fault of the people. We have
not made the demand for vocational
training for our sons aloirj; this line
of work.

To become a specialist one must be
trained in some definite branch of eplant
growing, so that he knows more about
that particular crop and can produce
better results in its culture than can
anyone else. However, there is a dan-
ger and a real danger that our garden-
ers and florists become too narrow in
their knowledge of plant life through
intense specialization.

Training the Specialist.

While, as has been said, the specialist
is the important grower of the present
period, there is now and probably al-
ways will be a class of men who do a
wholesale and retail business and whose
trade demands that they grow a mis-
cellaneous collection of plants. Those
doing the largest amount of business
either in a wholesale or retail capacity
will have their work so thoroughly or-
ganized that there will be a series of
important sections with the special
grower in charge of each section. The
owner himself, however, cannot afford
to be ignorant of how the different de-
partments should be run, or to be de-
pendent upon his grower for his in-
formation. His education and experi-
ence must of necessity have been broad
in order to successfully manage the
business. The man who personally con-
structs his own range, arranges th^
heating system, propagates and grows
his miscellaneous crops and markets the
same successfully must of necessity be
a man with a well developed intellect
in order to come out ahead in the com-
petition in the business world.

So we see that it is not sufficient,
therefore, that we have onr schools of
general horticulture, although these are
necessary for the training of the best
e<iuipped all-round men; it is not suffi-
cient that we have our divisions of
these horticultural schools into depart-
ments of floriculture, market gardening,
and the like, although they are essen-
tial for training general growers. There
is a need in America today for definite
and extended courses in the growing of
conservatory plants for the young man
who is to make the culture of these
his life work; special courses in rose
growing, carnation growing, orchid
growing and the like, also courses in
the culture of outdoor trees, shrubs and
herbaceous perennials. In other words,
we should train specialists as well as
general growers.

In this connection it may be said
that the best training for a specialist
comes through his practical experience
in the rang^. Much is said in favor of
the apprentice system practiced in the
older countries and I do not question
the value o^ ^s system for those coun-

tries, but American conditions are dif-
ferent. There is no question in my
mind but what the best material out of
which to develop educated plant grow-
ers and specialists for the United States
comes from those young men who have
been brought up in the actual work of
the range. However, a better knowl-
edge of science is developing daily and
these young men must be brought into
intimate touch, not alone with the ordi-
nary details of the growing of plants,
but they must know the principles
which underlie the process of plant
breeding; they must know of the micro-
organisms at work in the soil and the
various chemical actions which are go-
ing on in the soil and which add to its
fertility and productiveness; they must
know the nature of the various insects
and diseases which prey on plant life,
in order that they -may successfully
combat these enemies. Therefore, while
the physical environment of the plant
has much to do with its growth and de-
velopment, a knowledge of these factors
alone is not sufficient if one is to be-
come a specialist.

Present Available Cou ses.

In the Massachusetts Agricultural
College, two years of the four required
are devoted to cultural and funda-
mental studies. There are few definite-
ly agricultural or horticultural studies
before the junior year. The men then
elect their major subject and the in-
structor in charge of the course in
which they elect their major work acts
as an adviser regarding correlated sub-
jects which should be studied. In this
way the student gets a well-balanced
course. As an example, he elects flori-
culture as his major and his adviser
requires that he also take courses in
plant pathology, entomology, plant ma-
terials, soils and fertilizers or chem-
istry. Each of these courses is given
by a man with special training, which
fits him for his work. In this way the
man graduates with a general knowl-
edge of all branches of floriculture. If
he has had several years of practical
work in a range of greenhouses before
taking his college course he derives bet-
ter results.

While this course turns out men well
equipped in fundamental studies and in
general principles of floricultural
knowledge, it does not, of course, turn
out specialists. Neither does it turn
out men who have mastered all the de-
tails of the practical work. It does,
however, equip men with a splendid
foundation on which to build a strong
life of service in the business. If the
men are to become specialists, this spe-
cialization must come later by concen-
tration on some one branch of the in-
dustry and a determination to master
that branch in all its details.

This may be brought about partly by
a period of practical work on the spe-
cial branch in some large range where
the specialty is grown to its best per-
fection, but it seems to me that the

22

greatest benefit may be derived if this
practical experience is later supple-
mented by a period of graduate work
at the Agricultural College. I might
say in this connection that I am now
considering a project with the head of
the graduate school whereby our grad-
uates who go out into practical work
may return after a prescribed period
and after a supplementary scientific)
study of their specialty be given the
degree of Master of Science in Flori-
culture.

Short Courses in Floriculture,

But not everyone can afford to spend
four years or longer in study of funda-
mentals, nor is it for the best interests
of the industry that they should. To

has seemed to prove that this subject
does not lend itself to those courses.
The lectures, text books and questions
are sent out to the people taking the
courses, but in the majority of cases
these individuals do not take sufficient
time to read over the subject matter
and to transpose it into their own lan-
guage. They look up the answers to
the questions in the lectures and text
and answer them verbatim in the words
of the lecturer or the writer of the text.
It seems that the individual gets little
lasting benefit from such a course.

High Grade Help Pays Best.

I believe, however, that there is a
splendid opportunity for extension
work in floriculture along other lines.

Front of the New IndUoapoIit Store of the Hill-He Ut Co.

Massachusetts is a state where the in-
dustry ranks of major importance and
where the amount of capital involved
is considerable, I believe there is room
for one or two extension schools of
floriculture in the state and I should
like especially to see one of these
started in connection with the Boston
Gardeners' and Florists' Club, Courses
such as these would give the industry
a splendid impetus and they would be
the means of giving many young men
who a"re already engaged in the busi-
ness, on private estates, in retail estab-
lishments and in commercial ranges, a
chance to learn much of benefit at a
minimum expense of time and money.

What the industry needs today is a
liigher grade of workman and this will
never come until the young men have
better chances for learning the business.
One of the most prominent New Jersey
growers told me recently that he was
convinced that it paid him to employ a
high quality of labor even at higher
wages, and I know for a fact that an-
other large corporation is employing
men of this grade as managers and fore-
men in the diflferent departments. Too
frequently men employed in the larger
ranges get training only in one or two
branches and therefore are not well
balanced in their development. They
are specialists in the narrow sense of
the word. There is then, again, an un-
fortunate opinion among some growers
that it is detrimental to their best in-
terests for young men to learn the
secrets of their success. As in every
industry where competition is keen,
there are certain methods which any
grower may legitimately keep to him-
self, but there is much general informa-
tion which might be given to the
younger generation without injury in
the least to the business of any indi-
\i(lua].

An Extension School of Floriculture.

T would suggest, therefore, that in
such an extension school, definite
courses in special subjects be given
and that a man be allowed to take as

meet the needs of these individuals, the
college now ofl'ers a si)ecial course for
men of mature years who have had a
high school training and who want to
devote a little time for special train-
ing. These men come to the college
for one or two years and take special
work in those definite sul)jects in which
they are especially interested. For the
most part these same subjects are given
to the regular junior and senior stu-
dents. These men are given no diploma
or certificate. They come only for
what they can get out of the courses
offered.

Then, again, the college offers excep-
tional opportunities by a ten weeks'
short course during .January, February
and the first part of March, when men
may come to the college to get in a con-
densed form in this short time much
that is given in the longer courses.
They meet men with kindred interests
and derive much benefit from an inter-
change of ideas. Practical men come
to the college for lectures on special
subjects and these men give to the stu-
dents many suggestions which their ex-
periences have proved to be valuable.

Then there are correspondence
courses in floriculture for those who
cannot leave their home duties. To my
mind these courses are of minor im-
portance, for my experience wi<h them

many or as few courses as he may wish.
He should be given a certificate when
each course is finished in a manner sat-
isfactory to the instructor or to the
committee in charge. J would have
courses given in the culture of conserva-
tory plants, courses in greenhouse con-
struction and heating, courses in culture
of special crops like roses, orchids,
carnations an<l the like, and courses in
wholesaling, retailing, designing and
decorating.

In order that the stiidents might
carry on their daily work while taking
these courses, I would suggest that
evening lecture work be given, perhaps
two hours on some evening of the week,
preferably Friday evening, and that
Saturday morning or afternoon be de-
voted to an observation trip to some,
important commercial range, retail or
wholesale establishment or private con-
servatory in the vicinity. Here the
points considered in the evening lec-
tures might be emphasized and made
clear by observationy There is no sec-
tion which offers better facilities for
such observation trips than in the im-
mediate vicinity of Boston. T would
not have all of the evening lectures
given by one man, but would have
specialists treat various topics.

I am aware that the work as I have
outlined it would be something rad-
ically new and quite out of the ordi-
nary, but it seems to me the venture
is worth trying. In order to success-
fully carry out the courses there must
of course be the greatest enthusiasm
on the part of the instructors giving
the courses and the most cordial and
hearty cooperation by the club members

and all connected in any way with the
work. The Massachusetts Agricultural
College stands reaily through its exten-
sion to organize and develop these
courses just as soon as this club gives
the assurance of its support and cooper-
ation.

I believe it is up to the present gener-
ation of florists to exj)and and to get
out of narrow, conservative ruts, if
there be such, and to give the coming
generation such a preparation for their
life work that the business will take on
nev/ value and dignity.

The gardeners and florists of today
are, as a class, broad-minded, progres-
sive men, but we who are bound u])
heart and soul in the interests of the
industry want the next generation to
go far ahead of the present in every
phase of the work.

A NEW INDIANAPOLIS STORE.

The accompanying illustrations show
the Indianapolis store of the Hill-Heller
Co. At the time this company was
organized there was no suitable avail-
able store to be found in the business
section of Indianapolis and the com-
])any was compelled to lease a vacant
lot and erect its own building. This
was done on short notice, and, thanks
to the architect, the company now ha«
what is certainly one of the most beau-
tiful and artistic flower stores in the
country — at least a great many of their
friends who have traveled extensively
have told them it has no superior.

The store is only one story high, and
stands between two tall buildings, at
225 North Pennsylvania street, directly

facing the Federal building. The ma-
terial used is stucco dressed with small,
sharp Bedford stone. The design can
best be seen from the photographs. A
most convenient arrangement in the de-
sign are the two front doors, one of
which enters the store room directly,
the other on the opposite side, opening
intQ a side hallway, which allows the
delivery of ice, packages and plants to
the rear of the store, which is found to
be a great convenience, while in no way
iletracting from the l)eauty of the front.
The store opened formally, for busi-
ness, the last week in October, with a
chrysanthemum show, at which time
these photographs were taken. The
members of the com))anv were both
surprised and delighted at the interest
shown, and at the great number of
people who visited the store.

The Hill-Heller Co. is selling agent
for the South Park Floral Co., of New
Castle, Ind.; the E. G. Hill Co., and
P^'red H. Lemon & Co.. of Eichmond,
Ind. Heller's .American Beauty roses
are well known to the Indianapolis
flower buyers, and this year the quality
of th<' stock has been unusually good.
The E. C. Hill Co. and F. H.' Lemon
hav6 been exhibiting chrysanthemums,
carnations and new roses in Indianapo-
lis for fully thirty years and have a
great number of friends in the city, who
have given them a hearty welcome.

Raymond Kester, formerly with tho
S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia,
is the floral artist in charge, and we
are glad to know that Mr. Kester has
taken kindly to the middle west and
that his work is appreciated in
Indianapolis.

SEASONABLE CULTUBE.

The August sown sweet peas have
now been flowering for some time and
will be benefited by a little feeding,
but at this season of the year, when
the days are getting shorter, the feed-
ing must be done with extreme caution,
or the plants may be caused to drop
their buds. Cow manure water, well
diluted, is a safe stimulant, and a light
top-dressing of fine bone, pulverized
sheep manure or cow manure, not too
fresh, can be applied. The surface soil
should be loosened after applying the
manure, before watering is done. Do
not use any of the strong chemical fer-
tilizers at this season. They are liable
to do considerable harm. For instance,
if nitrate of soda water is used, and
we chance to get a succession of dark
days after applying it, the plants will
most probably wilt badly on the first
sunny day.

A day temperature of 55 to 58 de-
grees in dark weather and 60 to 65 de-
grees when clear, and an average of 50
degrees at night for plants which are
flowering, should be maintained. There
are few days, even in midwinter, when
ventilation cannot be given. Do not
rush on a lot at a time or neglect to
lower the ventilators when the sky be-
comes overclouded. If you do, you
must expect mildew and blighted buds.
If the house, when entered, feels
draughty, you are likely to have trou-
ble, not only with sweet peas but any
other plants you may be growing. It
is necessary for the next two or three
months to ventilate with great care.

Later batches of plants should be fur-
nished with supports and be kept tied
up before the growths are twisted, and
at all times it is essential to keep the
growths erect, for bent flower stems are
never salable. Avoid anything in the
nature of heavy fumigation. The to-
bacco papers are safe. Tobacco dust
laid in small heaps on the paths and
lighted by means of a little kerosene
is also safe. Guard against an arid at-
mosphere, for it will assuredly bring
red spider in its train, and, when once
the plants are attacked, it is an uphill
fight to clean them, no matter how good
a pressure of water may be at com-
mand.

For flowering in early spring, some of
the Spencer or wavy varieties should
now be started. We are promised a
fine assortment of Spencers of the true
winter-flowering type. These, when in-
troduced, will soon displace the grand-
iflora varieties under glass, as they
have already done outdoors. A few
suitable varieties to sow now for early
spring flowering are: Nora Unwin and
White Spencer, white; the original
Countess Spencer, pink; Asta Ohn Spen-
cer and Frank Dolby, lavender, and
King Edward VII, scarlet.

SWEET PEAS DROPPING BUDS.

We are having trouble with our sweet
peas, as they are dropping buds. They
were planted August 24, in benches
with tile bottoms, and did well until
about two weeks ago. We picked about
two batches of flowers and the vines
were full of buds; then, for some reason,
the buds began to blast and drop. We
have tried plenty of ventilatioi; and
have been running them on the dry side
for a few days, but can see little im-
provement. Can you suggest anything?
About one-third of the soil is well
rotted cow manure and the rest is good
loam. We have done no feeding or
mulching. D. F. C.

There are several possible causes for
the sweet peas dropping buds. Fumi-
gation with tobacco stems, if overdone,
will cause it; so will the use of nitrate
of soda, dried blood, sulphate of am-
monia and other fertilizers high in
nitrogen. Dryness at th6 root would
also cause it, as would cold draughts.
You do not state what temperature you
are giving your plants; it should not
be below 48 degrees at night and 50
degrees is better. If your drainage is
good, as it would appear to be, there
should not be much danger of an excess

of water. The compost you used is all
right.

As you have not yet done any feed-
ing, it would be well to give the plants
some liquid cow or sheep manure once
a fortnight. Use it moderately weak.
Or, if preferred, give them a top-dress-
ing of well decayed manure, lightly
forking it in before watering. Avoid
draughts from the ventilators. Add
and remove ventilation a little at a
time. On dull days let the temperature
run up to 58 or 60 degrees, and 5 de-
grees higher on sunny days. C. W.

MILDEW ON SWEET PEAS.

In previous seasons I have grown
sweet peas successfully, but this year,
though I gave them the same culture,
they are affected with mildew. The
house runs east and west, with venti-
lators on the north side. I have let-
tuce, tomatoes and carnations in, the
house. Any suggestions will be thank'
fully received. W. O. S.

It is difficult to grow such a variety
of crops, requiring different tempera-
tures and widely different treatment,
successfully in the same house. In a
carnation house sweet peas will do quite
well, but lettuce should be grown 10
degrees cooler and tomatoes 10 degrees
warmer, for best results. A night tem-
perature of 50 degrees when flowering
suits sweet peas. Mildew is usually
caused by cold draughts, and as your
ventilators open on the worst side, air
must be given with great care. Give a
little at a time and reduce it in the
same way. If you heat with steam, use
a little sulphur on the pipes. Do not
spray the vines. Maintain an atmos-
phere which feels genial and is never
clammy or draughty. Above all, venti-
late carefully. If you do not use steam,
blow some powdered sulphur on the af-
fected plants and keep a drier atmos-
phere. C. W.

BOSES PLANTED TOO LATE.

I would appreciate some advice
through your valued paper. I got some
roses in 4-inch pots about the last part
of August and, as the greenhouse was
not ready for them, I potted them in
5-inch pots and kept them in shaded
frames. The soil was a mixture of
three parts old sod, one part old hotbed
manure and a little sand. The green-
house was completed by October 1 and
then I planted them in the benches, in
the same soil as was used for potting.
They have grown little since I got them.

The lower leaves turn brown at the
edges, then become yellow and drop off,
so there are never more than three or
four leaves on each plant. With the
exception of a few green flies, they
seemed to be clean. I have cleared out
the flies by fumigating. I have cut a
few roses, with stems six and seven
inches long. The stems are beginning
to show signs of eyes all the way up.
The varieties are Bichmond, Killarney
and White Killarney. I keep the tem-
perature between 56 and 60 degrees at
night. ■ R. P.

Your roses were planted much too
late. June and July, and not October,
should be the time to bench them, and
I am afraid that you will get little or
no returns from your plants through

the winter, which is the season. when
flowers are needed. In repotting them,
sand should not have been used, and
old cow manure or fine bone would
have been better than the hotbed
manure. The latter is too often full
of worms and in no way compares with
cow manure in the benches. Then,
again, there was no need to shade the
plants in the frames, as this would only
weaken them and make them more sus-
ceptible to mildew. To get returns
from the benches which the plants are
now occupying, it would pay you to
plant them with gladioli, snapdragons
or some other crop which would be
sure to give a good cut in spring,
which you cannot expect from the
roses. C. W.

HOUSE OF SUNBURST.

The photograph was taken November
29, 1912, at Myers & Samtman's, Chest-
nut Hill, Philadelphia. The house is
22x167 feet. It is planted with 1,677
Sunburst roses, which are all on their
own roots. The stock was purchased
from Charles H. Totty last March. De-
spite a check from black spot that car-
ried off the foliage early in their career,
the young plants did well, and July 2
the first house was planted from the
pick of the stock, then in 3-inch pots.
The second house, the one shown in the
photograph, was planted July 18, from
the remainder of the 3-inch plants. The
first house is now coming into its third
crop of bloom, and the second house
into its second crop. In both houses
the plants are on raised benches. There
is little to choose between them in ap-
pearance. Mr. Samtman considers Sun-
burst as free blooming as My Mary-
land. Phil.

ROSE MRS. SHAWYER.
At nearly a score of the autumn
flower shows one of the principal cen-
ters of attraction for the growers was
the vase of the new rose, Mrs, George
Shawver, the variety shown in the ac-
companying illustration. It was ex-
hibited as far west as St. Paul and its

condition in each case demonstrated
that it possesses shipping and keeping
qualities, important attributes in com-
mercial forcing roses. Mrs. Shawyer is
an English seedling that attracted the
attention of Charles H. Totty and to
which he has given a thorough trial
at his place at Madison. He thought
well of it in the beginning and the
farther he has gone with it the more
enthusiastic he has become, until now
he thinks it will take rank as the
leading pink forcing rose when it be-
comes widely known, even displacing
Killarney as a money-maker, just as
Killarney displaced Bridesmaid be-
cause of its greater freedom of bloom.
Mr. Totty says that the only disquali-
fication he has been able to find is a

susceptibility to mildew and that this
is no greater than is characteristic of

What are the best methods of keeping
boxwood sprays? This inquiry is so
frequently made that we believe some
remarks on this matter would be of
value to many a florist.

To obtain the best results, boxwood
sprays should be unpacked as soon as
possible, after arrival and placed in
water, the same as flowers, and, if con-
venient, keep them in a cool atmos-
phere.

This treatment will keep boxwood
sprays for months, and improve them
also. It will make them more lasting
after they are exposed to the air. A
large tub, half-barrel or any similar
vessel will answer as a container. Im-
mersing them will not injure them in
the least.

GENISTAS FOR EASTER.

Can you give us any cultural details
for genistas? We have some that we
should like to bloom for Easter. J. C.

Keep" the plants in a cold pit or
greenhouse until early in January. Then
place them in a temperature of 48 to
.50 degrees at night and they will be in
flower on time. If they appear to be
coming on a little too early, remove
them to a colder house when the flowers
start to open. Do not try to force these
plants, or you will completely spoil
them. Neither should they be sprayed
over like azaleas and camellias.

ORIENTAL FOFPY FROM SEED.

I want to find out whether oriental
poppy sown last August will flower next
summer. H. K.

The strongest plants of the poppies
will probably flower a little, but if you
had sown in June instead of August
they would have bloomed much better.

SOIL FOR NEXT YEAR.

I should like to get your advice con-
cerning the preparation of carnation
soil for next year. We have a heavy
soil and we can get but little sod.
Should we use much manure with the
soil? Should the manure be long? How
about chemical fertilizers and bone?
In buying cuttings from other places,
we have found some of thorn so much
larger than ours that we think the
plants must have lieen grown in u
much better soil. .F. J. C. & S.

If your soil is top soil which has been
growing good crops, it ought to be
fairly good for growing carnations. If
it is heavy in texture, it will be bene-
fited by adding considerable long stable
manure. As much as one-fourth will do
no harm, providing it has ample time
to decay thoroughly before using. Do
not attempt to treat your soil with
chemicals before bringing it into the
house, for the danger of disastrous re-
sults is too great. If the soil is poor,
you could add sheep manure to it, either
when composting it or when plowing it
the last time. Twenty-five pounds to
each wagon load will help it wonder-
fully, and even fifty pounds would prob-
ably not do'iany harm.

The fact that those cuttings were
larger than yours does not necessarily
indicate that the stock was stronger
than 3'ours, unless they are the same
kind of cuttings that you select. A
medium sized cutting, taken from a
plant which had not been overfed, is by
far the best, in our estimation. That
is the reason why cuttings taken from
plants which are grown for cuttings
alone are usually preferable to those
taken from blooming stock. However,
if the blooming stock is grown mod-
erately, the cuttings taken from it are
equal to any. A. F. J. B.

MORE ABOUT FEEDING.

I notice that A. F. J. B., in The
Review of November 14, page 26, ad-
vises the use of sheep manure for feed-
ing carnations. I should like to know
the quantity used per square foot of
bed and about how often it should be
used. Should bone meal be used? If
so, what quantity and how often?

In using nitrate of soda, one pound
to fifty gallons, can the foliage be
■watered without injury to the plants?
In using the sheep manure and bone
meal, can they be dusted or thrown
on the plants or should they be thrown
between the rows? I should think they
could be put on more evenly if thrown
on the plants. When thrown between
the rows, the middle plants in the bed
are likelv to get less fertilizer.

W. C. P. & C.

"When we apply sheep manure to our
carnation beds, we usually put on a
handful (about as much as a 3-inch pot
would hold) to each row, halfway across

a .'j-foot bench. It is easy enough to
scatter it over the surface of the bed,
so that practically the whole surface
is covered evenly. A little practice
will make that operation easy. Do not
try to throw it all in from the edge of
the bed, or you will have just the result
you suggest. Nothing could be gained
by dusting it over the plants. In fact,
to dust it on the plants might bring on
disease, as much of it would naturally
lodge in the axils of the leaves and, if
it remained there ibSig in a damp con-
dition, it might start a fungous growth
which would develop leaf -spot. So keep
it off the plants all you can.

Do not use sheep manure too often.
It is rich in nitrogen and has a tend-
ency to make the stock soft. Once in
six weeks is often enough, usually. The
amount of sunshine is the safest guide.
Less sunshine, less feed of any kind.

We have not used a pound of bone
for our carnations in the last four
years. Experiments conducted previous
to that time demonstrated to our en-
tire satisfaction that the money we had
been spending each year on bone for
carnations was thrown away. In water-
ing with nitrate of soda, no special
harm will result if some of it splashes
on the foliage. But that is not where
you want it, so why not try to get it
all where it is wanted?

A. F. J. B.

jjlants start nicely each year, but after
that I have my troubles. The trouble
starts soon after housing and 'pinching
them. They either stand still and do
not grow,. or they dry up from the. bot-
tom, leaf by leaf, till the whole plant
is dried up, just like the one that you
will find enclosed. I have given them
plenty of ventilation every day and also
at night, except in extremely cold
weather. I have tried to run them dry,
and again I have tried them wet. I
have also tried different sorts of sprays
for insects. I do the watering in the
morning on clear days, and do not water
on cloudy days, but the trouble con-
tinues just the same. In some cases
some of the shoots are quite healthy
and others are dry, on the same plant.
I am growing the three kinds of En-
chantress, and Perfection, Lady Boun-
tiful and Beacon. The Enchantress
sorts are the worst affected. Any light
that you can throw on my trouble will
be much appreciated. J. G. K.

rtlY ROT OF CARNATIONS.

This is my third year in carnation
growing and I have had almost the same
trouble each year. I have been trying
different remedies, but it seems that
every one fails. Every yoar I have used
new soil. In preparing a bed — that is, a
ground bed — I added one wheelbarrow of
cow manure to each bed -1x12 feet. The

The specimen forwarded is affected
with what is commonly known as
branch rot, or dry rot. If you have
much of it among your carnations, you
have good reason to feel discouraged
with them. It is perhaps not so de-
structive as the wet stem-rot, as it
does not spread so rapidly, but it is
harder to control, once it gets a start,
as we know of practically nothing that
will destroy it. The only process that
we have ever known to check it is to
l)ull up every plant that is affected and
burn it.

If your plants are so badly affected
that you cannot feel safe in getting cut-
tings which are free from it, you will
do well to buy a fresh stock, either of
rooted cuttings this winter or field-
grown plants next summer. Of course
you will change the soil in your beds,
as to plant new stock in the old soil
would only invite a repetition of your
old troubles.

Good cultural methods will, of course,
help some in dealing with any kind of
disease, by helping the plants to resist
its attacks. This disease, however,
seems little affected in that way,

BROWN PETALS ON BONNAFFON,

Some of my Bonnaffon chrysanthe-
mums, both white and yellow, are get-
ting a few brown petals on the outer
circle of the flowers. What is the cause
of this? They are planted on side
benches and consequently are near the
glass about blooming time. The trouble
was first noticed last year. I was quite
careful in watering, heating and venti-
lating this year, on account of last
year's trouble. M. B.

The brown petals on the Bonnaffons
can come from two causes, either the
damping of the petals, which is seen to
a greater or less extent on practically
every variety, or the damage done by
spider, which works rapidly over the
flowers after syringing is discontinued

and the flowers show color. The spider
sometimes renders the flowers utterly
useless. I assume you are familiar
enough with plants to know if the
trouble is damping. The spider can be
identified by the web that is woven all
over the flower. Chas. H. Totty.

BLACK APHIS ON MUMS,
Our mums are fine, but some of them
are bothered with black fly. We can-
not use Nico-fume now, as we are
afraid of spoiling the flowers. Please
tell us what to do. C. B. G.

You need not be afraid to use the
Nico-fume or other tobacco papers in
your chrysanthemum house. This fumi-
gation will not harm the flowers in the
least, but tobacco stems would be

pretty sure to scorch them. If you have
a bad dose of black fly, two or more
fumigations will be necessary, for this
pest gets among the petals of the flow-
ers and is then hard to kill. C. W.

NEW SINQLES.

For years I have argued strongly in
favor of the single varieties of chrys-
anthemums and it is a pleasure to note
that this year they have come into
their own. In any ease, they were much
more prominent in every exhibition
that I attended than they have been
in previous years. Some of the newer
varieties in this type are well worth
investigating by the cut flower grow-
ers'* It was quickly seen that the
single, as a single pure and simple,
could not stand because when they
were packed at all closely together in a
box they looked wretched when taken
out. The newer varieties of this year's
introduction have some three or four
rows of petals in place of the single
row. This increased petalage means
that the flowers can be cut and trans-
ported long distances and come out of
the box in good shape. Some half dozen
of the newest varieties are as follows:

Josephine, a deep yellow with a foot-
stalk perfectly stiff. When disbudded,
this variety will make flowers six
inches across. It is away ahead of any
other single to date.

Mensa, as a white, will occupy the
same place Josephine will in yellow.
The petalage is so stiff that the flower
can be squeezed into any shape and
come out perfect.

One of the most beautiful of what is
termed the art shade is Dorothy Dann,
illustrated herewith. Dorothy Dann is
a salmon bronze and under artificial

light makes one of the most beautiful
table decorations ever seen.

Joan Edwards, a beautiful rose-pink,
is another variety that is certainly de-
serving of more than passing notice.

Mrs. W. A. Higgs is a white, over-
laid with a flush of pink, making a
striking variety.

One of the most distinct singles ever

introduced is Ceddie White. The color
is novel and striking. The flower is a
deep yellow, but the tips of the petals
in every case are margined with blood
red. Before the color fades in the
flower I know of nothing so striking as
this combination.

Singles have certainly come to stay,
and when we get rid of a good many of
the weedy types the classes for singles
wiil look different froiii what they do
at the present time.

Charles H. Totty.

TO WINTER MUMS AND SALVIAS.

I have some stock plants of chrysan-
themums and Salvia Zurich which I wish
to carry through the winter for cut-
tings in the spring. Please tell me how
to do this. L. N. B.

Keep the chrysanthemum stock plants
in a cold greenhouse; anything just
clear of actual freezing will be all right,
or you can carry them over in a cold-
frame if it is protected to keep out
frost. A good coating of perfectly dry
leaves over the plants will in itself ex-
clude a lot of frost.

The salvias should be kept over win-
ter in a greenhouse where a night tem-
perature of 50 degrees is maintained.
If grown colder, the plants will have a
starved appearance and will lose much
of their foliage. ■ C. W. '

SNAPDRAGON CUTTINGS.

I wish to make a statement for the
benefit of the readers of The Review.
I had supposed that snapdragon was not
a hard thing to handle and that, being
an old-fashioned flower, any > successful
greenhouse man knew how to pot and
handle a snapdragon cutting, but I am
surprised to find how few florists really
know how. In every case the complaint
is of the drying up of the cuttings. I
find there never is complaint that they
dry up after they have been potted
and become established. The fault is
in the handling of the cuttings the first
week. I will say first in regard to my

Single Chrysanthemum Joan Edwards.

testing the shipping possibilities, that
I packed 100 rooted cuttings in wet
moss, wrapped them in paper and
shipped them 1,200 miles. When deliv-
ere<i they relabeled and returned them.
It took five days before I ^ot them. I
received them in the evening and un-
packed them next morning, putting
them in the soil, and saved ninety out
of the 100. Now, I will tell you how

to handle the cuttings. The compost
should be one-third sharp sand and two-
thirds good, rich loam. Do not let the
temperature go above 50 degrees and,
above all things, give them plenty of
water. If you will follow this rule you
should save ninety per cent of your
cuttings. Don't keep them too hot. I
will say in conclusion, try this and see
where the fault lies. C. W. Harrold.

SUGGESTIONS j

Primula Obconica.

In order to have Primula obconica in
good bloom for Christmas, the plants
should be grown in a light, sunny house
in a carnation temperature and should
be kept as close to the glass as possi-
ble. Perhaps you have a lot of small
plants which would hardly sell singly.
These can be ipade up into pans, taking
care to have each pan a distinct shade.
If these are made up now, they will be
nicely established before Christmas and
the New Year, which is the season when
they sell the best.

Primula Sinensis.

A shelf for a few weeks in a tempera-
ture of 50 to 55 degrees will bring
Primula Sinensis along in nice shape
for the holidays. The scarlet varieties
are always good sellers and these, for-
tunately, seem to bloom earlier than
the white and pink shades. Do not
worry if you do not get all in flower
for Christmas, as there are many weeks
following that date when pot plants
of a moderate price will sell. If the
plants are well potbound, a pinch of
some highly concentrated plant food,
like Clay's, Imperial Plant Food or
Bon Arbor, will tone them up.

Primula Malacoides.

Several complaints have been re-
ceived about Primula malacoides damp-
ing badly. Correspondents state that
they had big, healthy plants, but that
now the leaves are rotting badly, and
in some cases entire centers have rotted
away. For one thing, a mistake has
been made in sowing this variety so
early. It is a robust grower, and in-
stead of sowing the seed in February or
March we should wait until May. The
plants then would be of more moderate
size and would damp less. However,
those who have present trouble should
keep their plants in a cool, sunny, airy
house and run it cooler than the other
primulas; a temperature of 40 to 45
degrees is ample. Never spray over-
head, or you will soon ruin the plants,
and in watering take care not to pour
any into the center of the crown. It is
also necessary to run the hands over
the plants two or three times a week
and if any decaying foliage is found,
remove it. .

This primula cannot be flowered in
good condition for Christmas, but it
will be in grand shape for Easter. It
is such a beautiful, airy-like subject
that we feel sure that any giving it a
• little special care will be well j^f paid
by the prices they will receive. One

more point: This primula is a robust
grower and needs about three times as
much in the way of stimulants as any
other variety.

Schizanthus.

The earliest sowing of schizanthus
is now well established in 6-inch pots
and already the plants have some flow-
ers open. With the pots full of active
roots, they must have lots of water, in
addition to feeding twice a week. As
they are rather brittle plants, they must
have at least one stake each to prevent
their breaking off near the pot. Schi-
zanthus will not tolerate anything like
forcing. If much heat is given, the
shoots will become weak and leggy and
the flowers will lack substance. A
temperatuie of 45 degrees at night is
sufficiently high and the plants should
be well up to the glass. Then they will
be dwarf and stocky, and when they
flower the foliage will be almost hidden.
Make a sowing now and you will have
nice plants for spring flowering. Sow
in a flat and pot off singly. In addition
to their beauty as decorative plants,
schizanthus flowers last wonderfully
when cut. The best variety for pot
culture is Wisetonensis.

Tulips and Narcissi.

Some of the earliest tulips and nar-
cissi will now be sufficiently started so
that they can be placed in heat. Do
not flgure on getting these in flower for
the holidays. There are usually a few,
grown from French bulbs, that are seen
at Christmas each year, but a certain
percentage of these fail to flower, and
there is really just as much money in
them a month later at half holiday
prices. The tulips want a dark case to
draw them up; one used for forcing
valley will be found just right for this
purpose. The narcissi will also do bet-
ter if kept dark for a few days.
La Eeine is the earliest of the tulips
and Trumpet Major is the first to flower
among the narcissi.

Storage of Gloxinias, etc.

To economize space, it is a good plan
now to shake the summer-flowering
greenhouse tubers, such as gloxinias and
tuberous begonias, out of their pots and
pack them away for the winter in sand
or cocoanut fiber, storing them in a
temperature of 50 degrees. Fancy cala-
diums are better if left in the pots and
they want warm, dry winter quarters;
60 to 65 degrees is not too much.
Tydaeas, gesneras and achimenes winter
well where the temperature is 10 to 15
degrees lower and are better if not
disturbed now.

Compost for Winter.
We have reached a period in the
year when it is well to lay in a good
supply of loam, sand, leaf-mold, well
decayed cow manure, moss, charcoal
and anything else needed in the soil.
Although we may get good weather for
some time yet, winter may shut down
on us at once and it is always best to
be prepared for it. We all have ex-
perienced some of the pleasures of
housing these necessities when they
are buried in snow and when zero
weather prevails, and we must admit
that it is better to get all our require-
ments under cover while the weather is
warm and pleasantf

SEASONABLE CTTLTUBE.

Bedding geraniums, as the weather
becomes colder and the proportion of
dark days increases, must have more
careful watering. It is better to keep
them quite a little on the dry side
through the coldest months. If kept
constantly moist at the root, they
make too rank a growth and there is
also a greater probability of quite a
few damping off. Where a supply of
stock plants is on hand in pots or
benches — the latter gives the more
abundant crop of cuttings — a fresh
batch can be secured almost weekly,
and now that they can be given a little
steady bottom heat, few should damp.
Indoor-grown cuttings are, of course,
firmer and. far Ig^s likely to, rot tiffin
those taken from outdoor plants. If

the sand in the cutting bench is rather
fine and water does not pass quickly
through it, break up some charcoal,
pass it through a %-inch or even a
14 -inch screen and mix it with the
sand. This will make a splendid root-
ing medium.

Plants which are wanted in flower •«
for the holidays must have a house
kept at 52 to 55 degrees at night, with
a rather dry atmosphere. Keep water
off the foliage and flower trusses. As
the pots will be full of roots, a pinch of
a safe fertilizer or some weak cow
manure water, with some soot added
to it, will keep the foliage a rich, dark
green color. Do not crowd the plants.
Place a few upon inverted pots where
you want extra fine, well-leaved plants.
Pick the plaht^ over twice a T^leek, re-
moving any dead and moldy leaves.

.alterations were made during the last
summer, and an auto truck was pur-
chased for delivery. The greenhoiwes
are located at Pleasant Hill, where the
company has some 400,000 square fe6t
of glass. The business is both whole-
sale and retail.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

Thanksgiving pleased all. There w&i
a good demand for chrysanthemums for
the football rooters, the downtowH
stores having all the customers they
could wait on all the tprenoon. The
sales had been good for several days,
before and pretty nearly everything
that was good was cleaned up. There
were more roses left in the evening than
any other flower.

Carnations continue to arrive in ever
increasing numbers, but so far have all
been cleaned up at good prices. Koses
are about as they were a week ago.
Plenty of sunshine is bringing them in
rather too freely, but the quality help,s
to sell them. Sweet peas are more plen-
tiful and are of better quality. They
are moving readily. The quantity of
good single and anemone-flowered chrys-
anthemums that continue to appear on
the market leads one to wonder where
they come from and who buys them.
They are, if anything, a better lot than
we had earlier in the season. The
anemone-flowered varieties seem to be
the most popular.

Various Notes.

A visit to Lischey's Gardens found
everything pretty well cleaned up by
the Thanksgiving trade. The propri-
etor, Joe Brown, says that they grow
pot plants mostly, but that they ai'e
enjoying a good cut flower trade. They
have their houses well filled either with
stock plants or young stock. They have
done a heavy fall's business this year in
shrubbery and bulbs.

A visit to the Joy greenhouses after
Thanksgiving showed that where every-
thing was full to overflowing a week
ago, house after house is empty. The
chrysanthemums were all sokf but a
few that had been reserved for a spe-
cial occasion. Everyone was busy re-
planting. Several of the houses are
already planted to sweet peas, others
to violets. For the peas the soil in the
mum benches is simply spaded and well
mixed with manure, a little bone meal
added and the seed planted.

I called on Geny Bros, about eleven
o'clock Thanksgiving morning, and the
store was thronged. By one o'clock
about everything was sold that was fit
to sell and the store closed for the day.
I spent a part of a day looking over
a few of the Geny growing houses this
week. Everything was in the pink of
condition. I was especially impressed
with the Asparagus plumosus nanus.
They do not allow it to run more than
three or four feet at the most, giving
as a reason that by keeping the leads
pinched back they get more green, of a
better color and quality.

The Stief Jewelry store opening was
almost a flower show. The most elabo-
rate design was one made by Joy, in
the shape of an old Gothic triple crown,

DETROIT.

The Market.

Thanksgiving trade broke all records.
The chrysanthemum business was away
beyond expectations and the general
report is that everything cleaned iip. •
The business for this day usually de-
velops late, and this year was no ex-
ception; at the last minute it was a
hustle to get just the grade of stock
with which to fill orders. Yellow and
pink mums had the call and the fancy
stock came in for a heavy demand.
There was no oversupply at any time
and a shortage developed at the last
minute. Medium grade mums sold well,
as they always do, and cleaned up about
as fast as they were unpacked. Pom-
pon mums had a great call, with the
heaviest demand running to yellow and
bronze. Helen Newberry, our favorite
white pompon, ran a close second.
Roses were also in good demand and
all stock in this line was cleaned up
on sight. Beauties were also sold in
large lots. Carnations were short and
orders had to be cut to give everybody
a part of what he needed. Violets were
not called for so heavily as expected
and this can be accounted for by the
heavy run on the pompons. Valley was
in strong demand and the wholesalers
had a busy time filling their local and
out-of-town orders. Sweet peas were
in and enjoyed a steady demand. Stevia
was to be had and moved right sdong
with the other stock. Paper Whites

made their appearance, as did Romans,
and all had their supporters. Greens
of all kinds sold well, with the heavy
call running to fancy adiantu^, of
which there was a good supply.

The holiday, all in all, was the best
Detroit has ever enjoyed, st this season
of the year and we are all looking
forward now to a record-breaking
Christmas busii^ess.

Various Notes.

Geo. Bayer, of Toledo, consigned
heavily to this market for Thanksgiv-
ing. His BonnaflFon mums were choice
and the fine pompons will be remem-
bered.

Thos. F. Browne hit the market right
with his big mums and kept them com*
ing right along, two and three loads
daily.

Albert Stahelin cleaned up his Bon-
naflfons and made a record-breaking fin-
ish, with 2,000 blooms on the morning
of November 27.

Michael Bloy has no complaints to
make on the business this year and
sold his large lot of mums to good ad-
vantage.

Fred Breitmeyer wound up his mum
season with Thanksgiving and is well
pleased with the business.

Robert Klagge has a nice cut of me-
dium sized mums and also was heavy
on good roses and valley.

E. A. Fetters was a heavy buyer of
pompons last week and reports a satis-
factory business.

Albert Pochelon worked nearly all
night Thanksgiving eve and is taking
things easy this week.

Walter Taepke, in addition to the big
rush, had a large funeral Thanksgiving
day.

Philip Breitmeyer was hard at work
all last week and is still a busy man,
with several large decorations.

Schroeter reports a fine Thanksgiving
trade and has an artistically arranged
window this week.

Louis Charvat reports heavy wedding
business for Thatiksgiving and also a

WINTER WINDOW BOXES.

The popularity of window boxes for
summer decoration promises shortly to
be equaled by their popularity in win-
ter. In winter, necessarily, evergreens
are the principal plants used, but it has
been found that a considerable variety
of stock is available. Though boxwood
still is used in larger quantity than any-
thing else, other handsome evergreens
can be used, either singly or in a com-
bination of varieties, producing a larger
range of effects. So large has the busi-
ness become that some of the nurseries
making a specialty of evergreens for
window boxes now supply the boxes
with the plants established in them.
These they can selVto retail florists who
have themselves no facilities for han-
dling and filling the boxes, thereby
largely increasing the use of this form
of winter decoration.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS.

The Market. -

Stock of all sorts has been scarce
since Thanksgiving. The warm weather
preceding brought an abundance of
flowers for the holiday. However, the
weather since has been quite cold and
cloudy and things have not matured so
well. Eoses, carnations, violets and
chrysanthemums have gone up in price.
Chrysanthemums are pretty well cleaned
up, only a few remaining. There are
still a few good pompons to be had.

c-ut ■w^ere added to the list of cut flow-

this fall. They have almost doubled in
price. ^..,

Various Notes.

Mark Aitken did a good Thanksgiv-
ing business. He finished cutting his
mums last week. His violets are get-
ting scarce, but with the new crop they
will again be plentiful.

The Flower Shop, on Worthington
street, reports a fine trade for the end
of November. It was all sold out of
stock at the close of Thanksgiving day.

William Schlatter & Son say that this
year's Thanksgiving trade was ahead of
last year. Their specialties were sweet
peas and poinsettias.

Osterman & Steele were far ahead
of last year in their receipts f oj^ Novem-

stevia last week.

T. F. Sheehan was entirely cleaned
out of flowers November 28, which
would indicate that trade was more
than satisfactory,

N. F. Higgins reports that trade was
the best ever. He is showing some good
cyclamens, primroses, azaleas, Lwrraine

HARTFORD, CONN.

The Market.

The general opinion of the trade is
that Thanksgiving was the best ever.
In some lines the demand exceeded the
supply, especially on the best grade of
roses and violets. Some good White
Killarney came in on . long stems and
sold readily. Killarney was short in
stem, but anything in the shape of a
rose sold. There were plenty of yel-
lows, but they all cleaned up. Beauties
were scarce, but of good quality, and
had there been more of them they
doubtless would have sold. Specials
brought from $6 to $10 per dozen, re-
tail, while specials of other varieties
brought from $3 to $4 per dozen. Car-
nations were plentiful and sold well.
Beacon was more in demand than any
other, with Pink Delight and Winsor
close seconds. Fancy grades fetched
from $2 to $3 per dozen, retail. Mums
came in heavily, but the quality was
not of the best. The poorer grades
hardly paid for the handling. There
were quite a few sweet peas and they
sold well. Valley was good and just
about enough to go around. Violets
were cleaned up the previous week, so
that they were hardly seen. Orchids
sold well and were in good demand.
Lilies went slowly, but the supply was
not large. Greens cleaned up. Some
well grown begonias were seen, also
poinsettias in pans.

Various Notes.

John Coombs has received a new Ford
auto, which will be quite an addition
to his delivery department.

Louis Barton is cutting some fine
Killarneys at his Elmwood houses. His
orders are mostly out of town.

Spears & McManus are receiving
some fine carnations from Morgan &
Sons, of Glastonburg.

A burglar entered the store of J. A.
Brodrib, on Windsor avenue, but only
obtained 45 cents for his efforts.

Mrs. Goodman, of West Hartford,
picked some fine violets, which found
a ready sale at Thanksgiving.

A. N. Pierson, Cromwell, has started
to graft roses and that work will go
on until well toward spring.

CINCINNATI.

The Gateway to the South.

The close of last week showed the
market to be in a tight condition in
every line. Thisy^i^ek's opening, how-
ever, showed an easiiigjip all along the
line because the cut came back to
normal. Almost everything ready had
been cut close for Thanksgiving, and
had sold. There is an active demand
that at the time of this writing takes
up everything in sight. The list of
offerings includes every seasonable
rose, carnations in a rather short sup-
ply, lilies, callas, chrysanthemums, in-
cluding many choice Chadwick; lily of
the valley, single and double violets,
orchids, narcissi, pansies and stevia.

CEMETERY GBEENHOUSES.

Rosehill Cemetery, Chicago, has just
added to its greenhouse facilities the
range shown in the accompanying illus-
tration. The new range consists of
four houses, a palm house, two plant
houses and a propagating house. The
palm house is 25x50 and is built south
of and connected to an addition to the
administration buildings. It has a
curvilinear roof covered with ground
glass, while large plate glass is used in
the walls. South of the palm house and
connected thereto are the plant houses,
each 25x100, separated by glass parti-
tions and to be used mainly for the
growing of pot plants. The propagating
house is 13x100 and connects to these
houses on the west. The north end is
used as a potting house. All the houses
have continuous ventilators on both

slopes. The layout of the houses allow»
for a large open court in front of the-
palm house, which court will be filled
with flower beds early in the season.
The material for the houses was sup-
plied by A. Dietsch Co., Chicago. The-
walls have deep concrete foundation»
and are built of concrete blocks above;
the ground. The houses, which are built
on the Garland iron gutters, thus are in.
harmony with the administration build-
ings.

BOOTIKa FIOUS OUTTINQS,

Please tell me whether there is any
way to root cuttings from a rubber
plant without allowing them to remain
on the plant. I have a plant with,
about 200 cuttings on it. H. C. K.

Cuttings^ may be taken from a FicwK.
elast^c^< or rubber plant, and plaxtadu
in sand in small pots, and the pots-
should be placed in a propagating
frame where they can be kept warm
and protected from the sun.

If given proper care and attention,
such cuttings may root in the course:
of four to six weeks, but it is much»
safer to cut the shoots halfway thvough<
on the tree, and then to bind them up-
in wet moss, keeping the moss moists
at all times until the roots show
through, when the cuttings should be

cut off and potted up. The latter
method gives much the better results,
but the tops will not root as quickly
now as they will in spring and summer.

ST. LOUIS.

The Southwestern Market.

During the week ending Saturday,
November ;50, the volume of business
done by the wholesalers, growers and
retailers was unusually large, accord-
ing to all reports. There were a large
number of weddings, receptions, din-
ners and an unusual quantity of
funeral work. The wholesale market
was in high glee all the week. There
was plenty of stock and it all cleaned
up pretty well at good i)rices. Improve-
ment in quality also was noted.

Chrysanthemum blooms are on the
down grade and the market Monday,
December 2, was so shy on stock that
it looks as though all our local growers
are cut out. Koses are coming along
finely and the market is daily supplied
with good consignments in all grades
and varieties. Carnations, too, are
coming good, with long stems and ex-
cellent flowers. These have been
rather scarce of late. Prices are up
on the fancy grades; $5 to $6 per hun-
dred is being asked for extra select.

There are several who have taken up
growing valley for this market and
it can be had in large lots, of good
quality. Violets are in great demand,
but not enough are coming in and
prices are up to $1 per hundred for
choice. Lilies are plentiful and had a
splendid demand all last week, with
prices from $10 to $1.1 per hundred.
Adiantum, asparagus, galax, leucothoe

The Windier Wholesale Floral Co.
says - its first Thanksgiving business
was more than was expected. A new
Ford delivery car came in handy.

George Schriefer, head of the cut
flower department at C'. A. Kuehn 's,
says business was excellent all week,
with the supply equal to the demand.

The Riessen Floral Co., Grimm &
Gorly and Alex Siegel, downtown re-
tailers, say they had big business all
through the week. Ever^hing sold
well.

♦Along Grand avenue the retail flo-
rists all report a great Thanksgiving
business. Up north Bentzen, Mul-
lanphy and Tower; at Grand and Olive,
Waldbart, Myers and the Metropoli-
tan; south, Windier, Eggeling, Berg-
stermann and Beyer had better business
than last vear. In the west end New-
man, F. H.' Weber, F. C. Weber, Ellison,
Kalisch, Sander, Foster and Sanders
all say it was a great Thanksgiving.
Reports from florists in the south and
north ends say that this year was an
improvement over last year.

Various Notes.'

Marie Richerson, formerly with Otto
Sander, is now in the employ of Grimm
& Gorly, at their Washington avenue
store.

The chicken show at the Coliseum
last week had charms for a number of
florists. Among them were W. J. Pil-
cher, W. C. Smith, Frank Weber and
others.

The marriage license office had a
busy week. The 124 licenses issued
November «27 must have brought con-
siderable business to the florists, as
all report quite a lot of wedding work
for last week.

Francis Fillmore, Sr., 87 years old,

Hauling Ferns from the Green Mountains to the Bailroad.

and wild smilax sold well. The market
is well supplied with all these greens.

Thanksgiving Business.

Henry Berning says the demand and
prices were good, with carnations
short.

W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co.
says business was away ahead of last
year. The demand for violets, both
local and shipping, exceeded the supply.

Geo. H. Angermueller cleaned up
early. He had a fine supply of Easter
lilies and orchids. The demand was
better than last year.

who fell last week and broke his leg,
is now resting easy at St. Mary's hos-
pital. Mr. Fillmore is one of our oldest
florists and father of F. J. Fillmore.

F. H. Weber reports he will furnish
the decorations for the largest social
event of the year at the St. Louis Club.
A number of orange trees are being
brought up from Florida to be used in
the decorations.

The St. Louis Florists ' Club will hold
its last meeting of the year next Thurs-
day afternoon, December 12. The
meeting will be feature^l by the pres-
ence of President Richard Vincent, of

the S. A. F. The trustees have com-
pleted all arrangements to entertain
Mr. Vincent and the members on this
occasion. W. C. Smith and Charles
Young have been appointed as body-
guards for Mr. Vincent during his
stay. Special notices are being sent
to all members for this meeting.

John J. Wunderli, of the Alexander
Floral Co., at Clayton, surprised his
many friends when he was married last
week to Miss Anna Urban. Mr. Wun-
derli calls it an elopement to get even
with his son and daughter, who both
eloped recently and got married.

Max Herzog's place in the south end
is in splendid shape. He has a fine
house of poinsettias in pots and pans
for his own use for the Christmas
trade.

Invitations are out for the twenty-
third annual banquet to gardeners, flo-
rists and nurserymen, provided for in
the will of Henry Shaw, at the Wasih-
ington hotel' at 7 p. m. December 13.
at which President Richard Vincent.
Jr., of the Society of American Flo-
rists, will give an illustrated lecture
on the London flower show.

FLORICULTURE AT LINCOLN.

One of the Hlinoi* cities in which
the florists are prospering is Lincoln,
where there is a first-class local retail
business and an excellent opportunity
for a wholesale plant business, of
which full advantage has been taken.
The accompanying illustrations show,
one of them, the range of greenhouses
of Gullett & Sons, and the other the
interior of one of the houses of cycla-
mens. Cyclamens are a leading spe-
cialty, but a complete line of popular
flowering plants is grown for each of
the holidays, with a large line of bed-
ding stock following for spring sales.

A FEW FERNS.

How many hardy cut ferns does the
florists' trade of the United States con-
sume in a year? It is a question which
has been put to a number of those en-
gaged in the fern business, but none of
them appears to have any information
on the subject. That it runs into hun-
dreds of millions there can be no doubt.

Prior to the last dozen years prac-
tically all the ferns used in the trade
were gathered in Berkshire county, Mas-
sachusetts, but the demand has in-
creased so rapidly that the dealers in
the eastern section have been obliged
to open new fields, and the south and
Michigan, and now Wisconsin, are con-
tributing to the supply. A large part of
the eastern ferns now come from New
York state and from Vermont. What
has at first seemed like an inexhaustible
supply has lasted only a few seasons,
and each year it becomes necessary to
go farther away from the railroads. In
the beginning the pickers operated
wherever they could find the ferns, but
nowadays, at least in the eastern dis-
tricts, it is necessary for the pickers to
pay real money to the owner of the
land for the privilege of picking the
native ferns. It has become extremely
difficult to buy territory near the rail-
roads and the ferns' must be hauled a
long distance by team. The shippers go
into the country for their ferns, get
them teamed to the railroad and ship
to some convenient cold storage point,

t'rom which distribution is made as the
season progresses. The accompanying
illustration shows how the ferns come
down to the railroad. G. J. Walker, ot
Savoy Center, Mass., asserts that it is
the largest load on record, having
weighed 10,175 pounds and "contained
588,000 ferns. This load was hauled
t'rom the Vermont jyoods to North
Adams, Mass., and thence shipped to
the New England Cold Storage Ware-
house, at Pittsfield, Mass.

OBITUARY.

this country with his parents when
quite young. They first settled at Au-
rora, 111. On removing to Pontiac, in
1875, Mr. Hart was engaged for two
years as gardener at the Illinois State
Reform School, now the State Reforma-
tory. At the end of that time he re-
signed to start in business for himself,

establishing greenhouses on South Mill
street, which he continued for five
years, when he moved the business to
the north side of the city, locating near
where the Brady Coal Co. now has a
coal mine. Eight years later he re-
moved to 507 North Ladd street, which
has since been his home. He was united
in marriage in 1866 to Miss Sarah
Springer. To this union seven children
were born. Three of them died in in-

barked in the florists' business. In re-
cent years, however, Mrs. Jenne had the
entire management of the business. For
twenty years Mr. Jenne was a resident
of Chicago, where he was engaged as
a clothing salesman, and he always
spoke of that city as his home.

Index to Advertisers

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

Those who look ahead are preparing
big stocks of spring plants. There won't
be any too many ready on time. Be
ready early.

Don't pay money to traveling sub-
scription agents. Review representa-
tives all are well known in their re-
spective communities.

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.

Ruscus is the great seller in the sup-
ply line this year. Jobbers say the limit
of the supply of the natural article will
keep it from being run into the ground,
the way the Christmas bell was.

The offerings of new roses this season
are unusually important, and there are
reports of other novelties to come which
will add still further to the variety the
trade will be able to set before the public.

It is the almost universal report that
the Thanksgiving trade was the best on
record and the business following the
holiday was in pleasing contrast to the
old rule of stagnation following a special
flower day. The trade looks forward to
Christmas with sanguine expectations.

Those who met George Mount, the
A'enerable British rose grower, on his
recent tour of the United States, which
extended to the Pacific coast, will learn
with pleasure that almost immediately
upon his reaching home he was elected
mayor of the ancient city of Canterbury.

From the reports of city correspond-
ents all over the eastern half of the
country it appears that the pompon mums
have had a big season, although in some
of the larger cities the supply was so
greatly increased that the prices of other
years were not obtainable. West of the
Mississippi the pompons have not yet
cut so large a figure.

This issue, published on the sixteenth
anniversary of the first edition of The
Review, breaks all records for regular
editions, both in number of separate ad-
vertisements and in space occupied.
There are five double page spreads —
several times four of these big, impressive
ads have appeared in one issue, but this
is the first edition to carry five.

In 1912 the manufacturers of green-
house building material have found more
difficulty in filling orders than in getting
them, with the result that several are
planning large additions to their capac-
ity, which inevitably means a still greater
increase in glass area for 1913, as there
is no doubt of the ability of these enter-
prising gentlemen to keep their machinery
busy should a necessity confront them.

THE TREND OF COMMENT.

Publishing a trade paper is a peculiar
job; a trade periodical should never
knock, its energies should be devoted
to boosting; but when boosting is car-
ried to excess it destroys the feeling
of confidence which readers must have
in a trade publication if it is to have
a vestigje of value as an advertising
medium. Consequently it is of special
importance to note the trend of the
comments in the day "s; mail :

I have fonr hsuoes >pVaflt#i with geraniums and
am building another for stock plants. The Re-
view sells all I can grow. — J. P. Siebold, Lan-
caster, Pa., November 28.

Enclosed find check for $1.80 and many thanks.
The best results from any $1.80 I ever spent.
It brought me orders from the lakes to the gulf
and east to New York state. There is no sales
man as good as The Review. — W. C. Whelchel,
Danville, 111., November 16, 1912.

Our advertisement in The Review sold a large
quantity of paper for us. The orders came In
saying. "Send us a dozen rolls of paper like you
advertise in The Review." — L. Baumann &■ Co.,
Chicago, December 2, 1912.

CHICAOO.

The Great Central Market.

It is the consensus of opinion that
Thanksgiving business was the best
ever; certainly, it exceeded the expecta-
tions of most of the wholesalers, al-
though the reports of the local retailers
are by no means so enthusiastic, perhaps
due to the difficulty they had in pro-
curing their supplies of stock at antici-
pated prices.

While the business was excellent, the
supplies of stock were not so large as
frequently has been the case at Thanks-
giving. The out-of-town demand proved
exceptionally strong and prices were
forced higher than generally had been
expected. It was impossible to fill all
the orders even where the buyer was
willing to pay whatever was asked.

Following Thanksgiving, receipts
were light, demand continued strong
and prices held firm. Apparently the
out-of-town buyers who have local sup-
plies of chrysanthemums have cleaned
these up and are now looking to the
Chicago market for larger quantities
than heretofore. Practically everything
cleaned up at the close of last week
and at prices that were the best of the
season to date. On both carnations and
roses it was impossible to fill all orders,
and valley and orchids also were short
of the 4ttiaand.

The pr««eiit week opened with «mtin-
ued brisk business, but with larger sup-
plies of stock. Beauties are coming in
more heavily than a week ago and rose
crops also are on the up grade. The
quality of Beauties and roses is exceed-
ingly fine, the proportion of long stems
being large. Carnations show little in-
crease in supply. It is the general
report that the carnation plants are
full of buds but tkat there is not much
that can be cut to meet the present
excellent demand. However, a number
of wholesalers note that the orders for
carnations are lighter now that the buy-
ers have found out what prices are.
There is a limit beyond which many
stores will not buy heavily, because of
their inability to sell the stock at a
profit. The chrysanthemums were
pretty well cut out for Thanksgiving.
Some growers say they still will have
some for Christmas, but the supply is
greatly diminished and will shrink
steadily from now on. Cattleyas have
been in special request the last few
days and there has been difficulty in fill-

OUR

ROSE CROPS

ARE ON

YOU CAN GET OF US ALL THE ROSES YOU NEED
AND THE QUALITY WILL MEET YOUR APPROVAL

There are several good reasons why the thinking buyers are ordering
their Boses of us this season: In the first place, it is well known that better
Roses cannot be grown; in the second place, we have a full line— the largest
in the market; and, thirdly, we have this year fully doubled our supply— from
new glass— so can take good care of a large number of new customers.

BEAUTIES

It is well known that our supply of Beauties is the largest and by far
the steadiest in the west, and probably in the entire United States, while the
quality is all that the most critical buyer could ask. Avoid the possibility of
disappointment by ordering direct of us. A specially fine crop now being cut.

ORCHIDS

Our Cattleyas are coming in
stronger just as the general autumn
crop throughout the country is pass-
ing off. We shall have fine Cattleyas
in increasing quantity from now on.
You always can get Cattleyas if you
order here.

VIOLETS

If you are not getting your share
of the corsage work, probably it is
because you do not use our Violets.
There are none better to be had, and
unless your competitor uses ours
probObMy his Violets are not so good
as yours^ill be if you order of us.

CARNATIONS

The stock is good. The flowers are the equal of anything to be found in
this section and the stems are all that you would ask. From now on our
Carnations should occupy a prominent place in your store.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS

Still can supply first-class Mums in considerable quantity. Expect the
supply to last for some little time yet. The late varieties are fine.

Poinsettiae are ready to cut on receipt off your order.

CHRISTMAS

Buyers who appreciate the high quality of our stock are insur-
ing themselves against any possibility of disappointment by
placing Christmas orders with us now. What wiU you need?

ing orders except with the small-flow-
ered varieties, which are not popular.
Gardenias, too, have been in demand,
but the supply of these is as erratic as
the demand and the two seldom coin-
cide. Gardenias are one crop not over-
done here; eastern stock is received in
considerabJe quantity. Violets, which
now are of fine quality, are selling at
the best prices of the season and have
cleaned up since Thanksgiving. Easter
lilies have turned scarce, though there
are reports of large cuts for the near
future. Stevia is everywhere. Paper
Whites are more abundant. The mod-
erate supplies of sweet peas sell well.
Small receipts of good antirrhinum
move quickly, especially the pink. Some
fine bouvardia sells well.

The market December 2 felt the ef-
fects of the change in administration.
The county offices were full of flowers
and the judges in the Municipal Court
were even more lavishly remembered. '

November Weather.

November was considerably warmer
and drier than usual, jn the Chicago dis-
trict, with abundant sunshine, ex-
tremely favorable weather for growing.
The mean temperature was 43 degrees,-
being 8 degrees higher than last year.
The precipitation was 1.4.'5 inches, as
compared with 3.27 inches last year.
The duration of sunshine averaged six
hours and twelve minutes per day, be-
ing sixty-three per cent of the possible
sun. The normal for November is
forty-nine per cent of the possible.

Various Notes.

It is announced that .January 2, 1913,
the Geo. M. Garland Co., Des Plaines,
111., will open a northwestern branch in
Minneapolis in charge of S. A. Jamie-
son, well known to the trade in this
vicinity through his work for the Uni-
versal Portland Cement Co. Mr. Jamie-
son is taking up his new connection
with much enthusiasm and it is re-
ported the Garland Co. has plans under
consideration for other extensions of its
enterprise this season.

Joseph Shouten, formerly with the
Geo. Wittbold Co., entered the employ
of the E. Wienhoeber Co. December 2
and as ill luck would have it was caught
for a two weeks ' term of jury service
the same day.

O. W. Frese says there has been no
breathing spell in the last week. A. F.
Poehlmann is doing jury service.

It is requested that special attention
be called to the change in meeting place

president of the S. A. F., will deliver
his illustrated lecture on the biggest
London flower show. The ladies are
especially invited to attend the lecture.

N. J. AV'ietor says the wholesalers'
new credit association already has dem-
onstrated that it is a good thing for
all branches of the trade. He counts
the man who has cleaned up his debts as
scarcely less fortunate than the one who
has cleaned up his books.

Many in the trade visited the flower
store in the Fine Arts building Decem-
ber 2 to shake hands with Victer Berg-
man on the first day of his start in
business for himself. The firm now is
Ganger & Bergman. The store is in the
midst of the best class of retail stores
in Chicago and plans are afoot for many
improvements in the establishment.

Harry Lubliner avers that in all his
experience in the flower business, he

never saw it so hard to buy stock in
Thanksgiving week as it was this year.
Joe Trinz is in New York.

Tim Machen says that this was the
best Thanksgiving within his connec-
tion with the Peter Reinberg store.

Winterson's Seed Store is preparing
for a big business in the baby Christmas
trees. It is stated that last year they
shipped them literally from coast to
coast.

E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co.,
says that Saturday, November 30, sales
were within $5 of the sales of the day
before Thanksgiving and stock much
less plentiful. He adds that the Kenni-
cott records show that only once in ten
years have the three days following
Thanksgiving failed to give better
average prices than the three days be-
fore Thanksgiving.

C. W. McKellar says that Cattleya
Triana> is beginning to come in and that
he anticipates the orchid scarcity will
be of^short duration.

.Joseph ^lendel has retired as county
commissioner. The job pays .1i.S,500 per
year, but after two years of it Mr.
Mendel did not care for a reelection.
His friends gave him a complimentary
dinner December 2.

A. T. Pvfer says that Peter Olsem

had his first batch of carnation cuttings
this season ready for delivery Decem-
ber 2.

Charles Grabig, whose name does not
often get into the paper, has store and
greenhouses at 1843 Irving Park boule-
vard, where he is doing a nice, steady
business as for many years, largely
funeral work. He is one of the conserv-
ative members of the trade, his busi-
ness progressing steadily and unevent
fully.

The Batavia Greenhouse Co. is one
of those reporting the biggest Thanks-
giving ever.

G. A. Weberg, at Chicago Heights,
says business is excellent in his suburb.
He needs more help.

Adam Zender is cutting one of the
finest rose crops in his experience. He
ships a part to Holton & Hunkel Co.,
Milwaukee, and a part to D. E. Freres.

.1. H. McNeilly secured the services of
Richard Rolston in time for the Thanks-
giving business. Mr. Rolston formerly
was with KidwjpU, at the Forty-third

giving.

Joseph Ziska says the demand for
■wire work was never better, but it is
his idea that more thought is being ap-
plied to the creation of new designs
than in previous years.

Henry Wittbold 's staff is experien-
cing the usual pre-holiday rush on deco-
rations and H. H. Wilkerson says it
will be one grand hustle until after
Christmas, with department store work,
weddings, etc. The arrival of a second
car of wild smilax was reported by Mr.
Wilkerson.

Fred Stielow, of Niles Center, a
director in the Chicago Flower Growers'
Association, says he is just coming into
crop with his new houses of Killarneys
and Richmonds. This is the second year
for the new houses and Mr. Stielow says
it looks like even a better one than
the first.

Enchantress, White Enchantress, Vic-
tory and Nelson Fisher are the vari-
eties that were favored by Nick Kruch-
ten this year. He consigns his cut to
his son, John Kruchten.

A. C. Kohlbrand pointed with special
pride to bouvardia, pink and white, on
the shipping tables of the E. C. Amling
Co. December 2, saying it was the best
he ever had seen so early in the season.

P. J. Foley was summoned to court
December 2 as a government witness
in the Fitzpatrick case, Mr. Fitzpatrick
holding twenty-five shares of stock of
the Foley Mfg. Co., but Mr. Foley's
evidence was in favor of the defendant,
who was an old schoolmate.

Bassett & Washburn say they cleaned
out of mums entirely last week, the
last being cut November 29.

Erne & Klingel report the arrival of
their first mignonette November 30. Mr.
Erne says Thanksgiving week was the
best since they entered the local whole-
sale field and adds that with Christmas
on hand his firm expects to close the
year with a fine record.

A visit to the establishment of Sol-
Garland, at Des Plaines, showed several
houses of carnations which Mr. Garland
expects to be ready right after the holi-
days. His carnations are late, owing to
some difficulty early in the season, but
when they do come will be about the
finest he ever grew. He is shipping an
excellent quality of violets and cut two
houses of fine mums for Thanksgiving.

"Best Thanksgiving week for a long

PHILADELPHIA.

The Bising Eastern Market.

There was an immense demand for
cut flowers and for pljints and greens
for Thanksgiving. Prices were moder-
ate, except for carnations, which ad-
vanced sharply in face of small receipts
and the absence of pompons. Chrysan-
themums were marketed in immense
quantities, most of them at moderate
figures. The poor flowers, particularly
white, of which there were a good
many, were not wanted. Violets were
used in great numbers. The average
price on doubles and on fine singles was
$10 a thousand. Koses sold well,
Richmond, white and the novelties a
little better than pink. Beauties were
not in special demand and prices ruled
low. Carnations advanced, bringing
nearly double the price of the week be-
fore. Other flowers and greens sold
well.

The week ending December 4 shows a
few striking changes in the market.
The Arm}' and Navy football game
caused a heavy demand, violets and
Bonnaffons leading. Since then yellow
chrysanthemums have been rare.
Jeanne Nonin is the leading white, and
is fine. Valley, although in heavy crop,
has been short of the demand. Gar-
denias are again in favor, soiling free-
ly. Cattleyas are firmer in price, ex-
cept the little fellows, whieh find small
support. Poinsettias have made their
appearance. Miscellaneous flowers are
in better demand.

must prove far more lasting. Adiantum
Farleyense remains without a rival in
the large sizes, those above 6-inch. The
special culture given this variety is
shown in the beautiful condition of
the ferns; their graceful fronds are per-
fect in their delicate beauty. Pandanus
Veitchii is remarkably well colored and
sturdy; the small and medium sizes are
most prominent. Areca lutescens is
coming back into popularity, particu-
larly in the medium sizes: its grace

and deep green color when well grown
are charming. There is an entire range
filled with j)erfect, clean Cocos Wed-
deliana in every size, from the seed
pot to the specimen. Specimen cocos
are in 9-inch pots, four feet high, with
broad glossy foliage, without a flaw.
This magnificent range, with its inter-
esting variations in types, always gives
the visitor a thrill of pleasure. The
supply of kentias bids fair to equal the
demand; both are large. There has
been no especial run on any one size.
The stock looks well.

Christmas, a color bright enough to
gladden the heart of every true grower.
The crotons feel at home and they
show it. Phoenix Roebelenii is in splen-
did form; its place among the staples
is assured. The variegated pineapple,
Ananassa sativa variegata, modestly
claims a place among the novelties, a
claim that no one who has seen this
splendid block of plants with their
beautiful green and white, pink-crested
in maturity, can fail to admit. The
stock of ferns of Boston type is lower
than usual at this season.

Various Notes.

The demand for Christmas plants,

says the Robert Craig Co., has started
with a rush. Made-up birchbark ham-
pers are attracting attention. Robert
A. Craig's aim has been to get a large
plant in each size of pot. The result
is that many of the plants are equal to
those often seen in the next larger size.
The short valley crop abroad will
cause higher prices here. The weather
is said to have prevented the pips from
manuring.

Boxwood is popular for wreaths in

WASHINGTON.

The Market.

Chrysanthemums are fast going off
the market and this is causing a
stiffening of prices and an increase in
demand of other flowers. Roses are
plentiful and the prices are low, con-
sidering the quality. American Beauty

roseis are in fair demand, with an equal
supply. There has been a scarcity of
carnations during the last week or so,
especially light and dark pink. The sup-
ply of single violets is meager, with the
result that the demand for Bhinebecks
is quite heavy.

Duriug the last few weeks the ship-
ping trade to southern points has been
heavy, but has been subject to certain
drawbacks in that to some points it is
possible to ship by but one train in each
twenty-four hours, making deliveries
unsatisfactory and sometimes impos-
sible.

The consensus of opinion is that the
Thanksgiving trade did not equal that
of last year. The social season has now
set in in earnest. The season, however,
will be short this year, due to the fact
that Xhe Lenten season starts early in
February. An early Easter will, on
the other hand, allow a long stretch
until it is time to close the houses for
the summer months.

Various Notes.

The funeral of- Senator Raynor was

notable for the number of fine pieces.
John H. Small & Sons alone furnished
eighteen large pieces, and the other
firms all had a share in the business.

The death of Alvin Mason Lothrop,
a member of the department store firm
of Woodward & Lothrop, is a matter of
deep regret among the trade, to whom
he was well known both in a business
and a social way. The floral display at
the funeral was exceptionally elabo-
rate. A noticeable feature was the num-
ber of vases of long-stemmed American
Beauties and other flowers sent to the
house shortly after the announcement
of death.

At the fourth annual Pan-Amdrtcan
mass at St. Patrick 's church there was
an elaborate decoration. Following the
services a banquet was held in the ad-
joining rectory, William F. Gude beiiig
one of forty-two guests. Gude Bros.
Co. had the contract for the work.

The display windows of Z. D. Blacki-
stone, at Fourteenth and H streets,

ive during Thanksgiving week by a

Thanksgiving Trade.

I have not heard a single pessimistic
report on Thanksgiving business, which
would seem to indicate that it had been
pretty satisfactory. We were favored
with perfect weather the day before
the •holi'day, although on Thanksgiving
itself, a real old-fashioned, driving snow
storm prevailed most of the day. It is
doubtful if there was ever such a thor-
ough cleaning up of all flowers as this
]^ar. On Thanksgiving eve the whole-
sale markets were bare and flowers
which came in November 28 were eag-
erly purchased. There were no great
advances in prices, but everyone seems
abundantly satisfied with the volume of
business.

Plants did not sell so well as ex-
pected. Azaleas and cyclamens were
the two leaders. Poinsettias were in
heavy supply but did not sell well, nor
did Lorraine and Cincinnati begonias.
In cut flowers there was a marked short-
age of roses of all kinds. Mrs. Chas.
Kussell realized the highest prices,
easily outclassing American Beauty.
Riehmonds were eagerly bought. All
roses sold well, the whites as usual go-
ing the slowest. Carnations brought
from $3 to $5 per hundred, scarlets and
such pinks as Gloriosa and Pink Delight
makng top figures. Crimsons did not
isell well. Violets were not equal to
the demand. The average price was $1
per hundred. Chrysanthemums made
practically their farewell bow. Bon-
naflfon was easily the leader in yellow
and Nonin and White Bonnaflfon in
whites. Gardenias made $5 to $6 per
dozen, cattleyas $5 per dozen, valley $3
to $4 per hundred, snapdragon $3 to $8
per hundred, and longiflorum lilies
$12.50 per hundred. There was a tre-
mendous call for asparagus, smilax and
ferns. Stevia and Paper Whites were
plentiful, but easily cleared out.

The day following Thanksgiving saw
a regular bull market, with no drop in
prices, and the present week sees a con-

tinuance of good business. Some large
social events calling for a lavish use of
flowers help to keep prices up. Not for
many months has business been as sat-
isfactory as it is at present.

Various Notes.

Penn's, on Bromfield street, state
that Thanksgiving trade was far ahead
of all previous records. In plants, cycla-
mens and azaleas sold the best, but
everything in the way of cut flowers
went. A feature in one of their window
displays was a life-sized figure of a man
stooping over a bed of Penn's famous
violets to pick them.

Wm. Caraher, salesman for the Suter-
meister Estate, of Readville, easily led

Trumpet Major narcissi, which he sold
as early as November 28.

the wholesalers, at least, were thank-
ful. Probably Beauties were the only
flowers that did not do all that was
expected of them; the increased prices
put a damper on their sale. Violets
were fine and moved nicely. The same
can be said of roses, but carnations
were scarce and probably will be so for
some time. Paper Whites, Romans,
stevia, j'ellow daisies and baby prim-
roses are the principal additions to the
stock. It will probably be a few days
before the dealers will learn to accom-

flowers after using chrysanthemums.

FEW YEARS AGO we iatroduced these beautiful miniature trees to the
trade, and the supply each season has not equaled the demand. They
are almost perfect in shape and in various heights of from 1 8 inches to 42
inches, with a spread of 12 inches to 42 inches. The base is firmly attached
to a round block of selected white birch about 5 inches in diameter, and they
are not only desirable for table decoration but likewise suited for basket and
other artistic work. We have arranged for an increased number for the
coming season, but urge early purchase for shipment as wanted.

HOLLY

nHAVE just completed my contracts with the Holly peo-
ple of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia for my supply

HOLLY

for the season of 1912. I secured my Holly this year

to be cut from the swamps in the lower part of Delaware and

Maryland, as it is greener and has more berries on than the
upland Holly. It will be strictly first-class in every particular. I will have it packed as usual, in regular size cases,
2x2x4, and I positively guarantee it as represented. My first car will arrive here about December 1. The price on orders
received early will be $3.00 per case, f. o. b. Philadelphia.

I have my Wreaths made of the brightest dark green
Holly possible to secure, wrapped with wire, on 10-inch
hoops, and each Wreath has four or five spots of berries.
Price. $10.00, $12.60 and $16.00 per 100, according to weight
and quality.

My Laurel Wreathing comes from New Jersey. The
Laurel is gathered in the swamps, and the Wreathing is made
by hand on heavy roping in 60-yard lengths. Price. 3c per yd.

The Mistletoe comes mostly from North and South Car-

olina and is well berried. Price, $2.50 to $4.00 per barrel ;
$6.00 to $10.00 per case, according to quality, about 100 lbs.
to case.

Lycopodium, in 10-yard rolls, 4c to 6c per yard.

Christmas Trees, 6 to 20 feet high, 76c to $2.60 each.

Send me your orders ; state the day you want it shipped,
and if by freight or express and by what route or railroad.

will probably be plenty.

The retail shops had a highly satis-
factory trade last week. A number of
social functions and some funeral work,
besides the Thanksgiving business, kept
them all quite busy.

Various Notes.

W. C. Beckert, 109 Federal street,
now has one of the most up-to-date seed
stores in the county. Mr. Beckert has
enjoyed a reputation for fair dealing
and reliability for years, but has always
been rather conservative in his methods.
He has now put in a fine store front
and rearranged the whole store, and
is evidently going to push the business
more than in former years.

Why do Barnard's Xmas decorations lead in quality ? Because we send our own men from
Chicago to the different green countries to superintend the selection, cutting, and packing of Holly,
Bouquet Qreens, Xmas Trees, etc. They are men of twenty years' experience and are well
acquainted with the requirements of the most critical florists. They are instructed that the
best is just good enough for our trade.

EVERGREEN WREATHING, HOLLY WREATHS, ETC..

Are made on our own premises, under our owo supervision. They have style ih appearance and are perfect in

on anything in the Xmas decoration line.

for dinners, which, together with wed-
ding and funeral requirements, helped
things out wonderfully. The only draw-
back was the scarcity of some varieties
of flowers, for which the demand ran
high. Carnations were the greatest
proposition; orders had to be turned
down. "What few there were in the
market were of good quality. It is
expected, however, if the weather con-
tinues favorable, there will be a good
crop on for Christmas.

White roses were more abundant than
anything else; in fact, they were over-
abundant, as red and yellow seemed to
be the favorite Thanksgiving colors.
Red roses up until last week were plen-
tiful, but for last week's orders it took
no little scheming to get enough to
satisfy the trade. Pink roses seem to
be off crop also.

Large chrysanthemums were in full
swing and now there are only a few
of the late varieties of yellow and white
left on the market. Chrysanthemums
this season have made good all the way
through. There has also been a good
supply of lilies during the last two
weeks, which have found ready sale.
Callas are coming in more plentifully
oaeh day, but they do not sell as well as
the giganteums. One of the hardest
things to supply abundantly is smilax.
Sweet peas are increasing in supply and
sell well. Violets, too, find plenty of
buyers. Valley and orchids were popu-
lar flowers for the Thanksgiving brides '
and corsage bouquets.

Mrs. J. C. Ewing has opened a flower

The Market.

Thanksgiving week proved all that
was anticipated and the retail con-
tingents were universally happy. There
was a good clean up of everything for
the holiday, at fair prices. The whole-
sale trade did not take advantage of
the wide demand, and apparent short-
age, but held the level of legitimate
advance at true value, giving occasion
for no faultfinding and disposing of
everything at prices that should give
perfect satisfaction to all concerned.

The efforts of the publicity commit-
tee in behalf of Thanksgiving seem to
have borne fruit, and the interest
awakened in other cities is growing.
The eflfort to be made for Christmas
is expected to develop the scheme into
one of permanence.

The shipments on Mon-day, December
2, were light. Chrysanthemums con-
tinue, however, in fair abundance and
will until the holidays. Prices are firm
and some advance ia likely, especially
for the prize-winning classes. Cold

PAUL M. FAUEZ, Mgr.

M.i!^t., Little Rock, Ark.

All orders carefully filled and delivered to all
parts of the city, Arkansas and the southwest

storage will doubtless be of service in
preventing any decline.

American Beauties have come to the
front again, and are maintaining their
supremacy. Prices are advancing. All
other roses have advanced somewhat
and there has been no oversupply of
late to contend with. A slight retro-
gression this week is looked for. Vio-
lets sold well all last week and there
was no surplus until Saturday; 75 cents
to $1 was top for the holiday. This
week 50 cents per hun-dred is the ask-
ing price. The market is well supplied
with daisies, narcissi, hyacinths and
bouvardia. Stevia is too abundant.
More sweet peas could be profitably
moved. The retail windows are gay
with poinsettias, plants and cut. Lilies
have advanced encouragingly and
valley holds firm. Gardenias are im-
proving in quality and gradually in
price. Carnations have sold splendidly,
there being no leftovers and none to
be had last week under 2 cents, while
the choice stock easily brought 4 cents
to 5 cents. The novelties of course
were even higher at Thanksgiving. The
orchid supply was light and prices
better than for many weeks.

The tendency is upward. The market
generally is in a healthy condition.

The National Flower Show in April
emphasizes the necessity of electing
the best men to the honors and respon-
sibilities of office. A large attendance
is anticipated.

The MacNiff Co. is having many im-
provements made in its new quarters
at 56 Vesey street, into which it will
move January 1.

Much sympathy is felt for Geo. H.
Blake, of Bonnet & Blake, Brooklyn,
in the sudden death of Mrs. Blake, from
paralysis, which occurred November 26.
The house was filled with flowers, at
the funeral November 29. The inter-
ment was in Greenwood.

The gardeners' second annual re-
union was held Wednesday, December
3, at 1241 Broadway. Thumm's ban-
quet room was utilized for the dinner
and Thumm's alleys for the bowling
tournament. The ceremonies began at
2 p. m. and lasted until 2 a. m. Jack
Everett was chairman of the commit-
tee and Secretary Ebel was as busy
as usual in the gardeners' behalf.

The annual land show closed Novem-
ber .30. The attendance was light,
but the exhibits were excellent. The
Julius Roehrs Co., Eutherford, made
a fine display of evergreens and bloom-
ing plants, presided over by F. G.
Sealey, and secured several good orders
as the result of its enterprise. Thos.

Siebrecht, has fully recovered from his
late illness.

The Johnston Heating Co. will have
an extensive exhibit at the National
Flower Show.

Max Schling had a beautiful decora-
tion at Delmonico's last week and
says Thanksgiving business was far
ahead of any year since he began
business.

Trade seems to be booming on upper
Broadway. The immense store of David
Clarke's Sons is especially attractive
this season.

M. A. Bowe had some handsome de-
signs last week for the late Jno T.
Brush, the baseball magnate.

Manager Glass, of H. M. Robinson
Co., says "We can never get enough
of them," referring to the Mrs. Rus-
sell rose.

Mr. Donaldson, of Elmhurst, is at
home from the hospital and much im-
proved in health.

The Greek-American Florists' Supply
Co. reports a big advance sale of bas-
kets and novelties for Christmas.

All the supply houses are busy and
the outlook for the holidays is the
brightest for years. J. Austin Shaw.

day. Potted mum plants have sold ex-
ceptionally well this fall; everybody
had grown twice as many as last 'year.
Pompons have done well; the public
seems to have just begun to like the
small-flowered mums. *Boses have been
rather scarce for the last week, but
those on the market are fine. Carna-
tions are greatly improving, especially
in stem and color. The demand has been
much increased and they are bringing
a better price.

Various Notes.

Henry Kusik & Co. report business
as fine and they had to turn down or-
ders for lack of stock. They say that
what consignments they do receive are
fine stock.

Ed Ellsworth is now burning oil in
his heating plants and finds that oil is
cheaper than coal. He recently added
a 2,000-gallon oil tank to his equipment.

Samuel Murray was exceedingly busy
last week, especially in decorating.
Among the weddings for which he dec-
ocated was the Sewell-Gardner wedding,
for which he used over 100 orchids for
corsage bouquets alone.

R. S. Brown became seriously ill sev-
eral days ago. His rapid recovery is
sincerely hoped for.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co. has
cleaned up entirely on mum stock, both
cut flowers and pot plants. They fig-
ure on growing more pot plants next
year.

W, J. Barnes has been extremely
busy this week decorating and doing
funeral work. He reports that he sold
a good many Lorraine begonias for
Thanksgiving.

The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower &
Plant Co. had some azaleas in for
Thanksgiving and they sold well.

E. H. Frandsen is back at work again
on his place and the members of the
trade were glad to see him.

Martin Reukauf, of Bayersdorfer &
Co., was in the city last week.

A florists ' club is about to be formed
in this city and is certainly much
needed. This city has been without a
club for about sixteen years, though
there are about fifty-two establishments
in the florists' business here.

The Florists^ Review

December 5, 1912.

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

Business during Thanksgiving week
■was highly satisfactory to everybody.
There was plenty of good stock and
good prices prevailed, -everybody clean-
ing up practically everything in stock.
Chrysanthemums held the public favor,
although a larger number of orchids
were sold than ever before. Nearly
fifty weddings during the week, with a
large number of funerals, kept everyone
on the jump.

Various Notes.

T. O 'Connor has been extremely busy
during the last few weeks, the number
of wedding decorations being especially
large.

George Hunt, father of Charles H.
Hunt, with whom he is associated, is
favorably spoken of as fire commis-
eioner to succeed himself.

Morris Miller, who has been with
Hoffman, at Pawtucket, for several
months, is preparing to open a retail
store on Westminster street, not far
from the one he closed last spring.

William Appleton and Thomas Curley
had the larger number of pieces for the
funeral of William E. Joslyn.

T. J. Johnston & Co. have received
a new delivery car, which is extremely
attractive.

William Cohen, with .J. Kopelman &
Co., is suffering from blood poison in
his left hand, caused by rose thorns.

Among the visitors last week were
the representatives of Eeed & Keller,
New York; Henry A. Dreer, M. Eice &
Co., and the Edwards Folding Box Co.,
of Philadelphia.

Benjamin Cull, for the last seventeen
years gardener on the Zabriskie estate
at Newport, has resigned to engage in
business for himself at Galveston, Tex.

Miss M. F. Appleton, formerly of
Seattle, now is manager of the cut
flower department at Chipman's green-
houses, Woonsocket.

A. J. Johnson is putting in a large
new boiler.

William I. Brown, of the Providence
Seed Co., is secretary of the poultry
show at Infantry hall this week.

The display of flowers at the funeral
of Robert Knight, November 27, was
the largest seen in Providence in a
long time. While the orders were well
distributed, O'Connor, Johnston Bros.,
and T. J. Johnston & Co. had the ma-
jority.

William Hay's houses of roses are off
crop at present, although he is cutting
some fine Marylands from a small house.
He expects a large cut for Christmas.

James Hacking, of Central Falls, has
been unusually busy the last two weeks,
largely on decorations, weddings and
funerals.

The new greenhouses of Ernest How-
ard, at Auburn, are awaiting the boil-
ers.

Frederick Dietz has been working
nights on account of the rush of orders.
Last week he had over sixty funeral
pieces in five days.

F. Macrae & Sons have placed an
order for an automobile for delivery.

The election of officers for the Bhode
Island Florists' and Gardeners' Club
resulted as follows: President, Eugene
Appleton ; vice-president, Cornelius
Harstra; secretary, William E. Chap-
pell; treasurer, James Hockey; libra-
rian, James Dillon; executive commit-

Vegetable Forcing.

CUCUMBER PLANTS DIED.

October 1 we planted a vacant bench
in a rose house with Davis' Perfect
cucumbers. We planted them in five
inches of good, rich soil. They grew
to the fourth leaf and then began to
die, a few at a time, until all were
gone. The trouble started with yellow
specks on the leaves, and soon the
leaves began to dry up around the
edges. There was red spider on the
plants, but, owing to their tenderness
and their closeness to the ground, we
could not use the hose under them.
They had plenty of air and cultivation
and were grown in a rose temperature.

Did the red spider kill themf How
can we save our crop if we plant again?
Did we plant at the wrong time of the
year? We have nothing else that we
can grow in this temperature. Can
mildew be kept down on roses by the
use of a sulphur blower alone? If so,
in what quantity and how often should
the sulphur be used? Would sulphur
on hot water pipes kill young cucumber
plants in a rose house? If we cannot
grow cucumbers in the rose bench, can
we grow tomatoes in six inches of soil,
and how close together? J. T.

It is hard to tell just what killed the
cucumber plants, but it is difficult to
get cukes to start well at this season
of the year. Along toward spring there
is less difficulty. I have a suspicion
that sulphur on the pipes did the dam-
age. Cukes will not stand much of it
without a drying up of the leaves. Bed
spider is also quite harmful and would
soon have taken the crop anyhow, if
the plants had not died when young.

Tomatoes would do better in a rose
temperature than cukes, and will grow
in the same depth of soil. Single-stem
plants are placed about fifteen to eigh-
teen inches apart each way.

You can keep mildew in check with
sulphur by blowing it on wherever you
see any mildew, at least once a week,
but you should also paint a little daub
on one pipe in each house about every
twenty feet. Use paint oil and sulphur
and an old paint brush. .Tust a few
little spots will keep enough fumes in
the house all the time to kill mildew
without injury to cukes or roses.

You might get some lettuce or rad-
ishes from this bench that is idle, but
the temperature would be warmer than
they like. However, I have seen them

Co.. of Lexington, is putting up a seed
cleaning plant, to cost $25,000.

In short crop years prices do not ad-
vance as they should. The available sup-
ply is used in taking care of regular
customers for a part of their wants —
and in paving an approach to the other
fellow's friends.

A COMMITTEE of the Chicago city coun-
cil has been investigating the plans for
the three new 7-story warehouses of the
Albert Dickinson Co., which do not con-
form to the city's building code, the lat-
ter not having been framed with seeds-
men's buildings in mind.

As has been previously reported in
this column, the Holmes Seed Co., Harris-
burg, Pa., some time ago secured a new
location at 119 South Second street,
where it is expected to centralize the
business January 1 in a 4-8tory building.
Qood progress is now being made in fit-
ting it up.

The eighth annual convention of the
Wisconsin Pea Packers' Association at-
tracted several hundred people, includ-
ing a number of seedsmen's representa-
tives, to Milwaukee this week. December
4, at a session open to members only,
J. A. Hagamann opened with a paper a
discussion on "Seed Peas."

The presses are running on most of
the leading seed catalogues, for the big
mail-order houses have found that the
early business is an important factor in
determining the volume of the businees
for the season: only about so much can
be accomplished in the height of the rush,
so that it is the early and late orders
that really make a year good or bad.

The seed advertising in general maga-
zines will be extremely light this season,
practically all the money going into the
farm and class papers. AJso, the dura-
tion will be shorter than usual this year,
some of the strongest copy getting but
one insertion in the monthlies — January.
What the trade is after is early action;
as soon as the season is on in earnest
everybody has all he can do and the
possibilities for increase are best in Jan-
uary and February.

Owing to his rather poor health re-
cently, Chas. N. Page, Des Moines, la.,
has gone to California, to be absent
about six weeks. He will visit the
seed growers in the Sacramento, Santa
Clara, Arroyo Grande and Ventura dis-
tricts, where they are now setting out
onions, beets, carrots and other roots for
seed production, ending his trip at San
Diego, where he will spend the holidays
with his wife and three children, who are

Staying there this winter. He expects to
return to Des Moines about January li\

Albert McCullough, of Cincinnati, is
making a California trip, accompanied by
his daughter.

The forthcoming catalogues, it is
thought, will not show prices advanced
in anything like the increased cost of
seeds, and of commercial living.

The Western Canners' Association, at
its meeting at Chicago, voted down the
proposition to disband. M. W. Jones,
Vinton, la., was elected president, and
F. F, Wiley, Edinburg, Ind., secretary.

According to Uncle Sam's agrostolo-
gist, "hairy vetch is perhaps the best
legume to use where red elover fails, and
this is especially true in sandy soils. In
the northern states it can be used to seed
in corn at the last cultivation and will
furnish a subsequent crop for green
manure or hay. The high price of the
seed of hairy vetch is the principal rea-
son why it is not grown extensively, but
farmers can easily grow their own seed
by devoting a special field to this pur-
pose. Hairy vetch, with seed at a rea-
sonable price, is the best winter legume
for all localities in the eastern half of
the United States where red clover fails
or where crimson clover is not a success.
Common vetch does not withstand great
summer heat and should not be planted
in the spring in the eastern United
States. It does succeed in the northern-
most states when spring sown, but is
usually not as desirable as Canada field
peas."

THE FREE SEEDS.

The Secretary of Agriculture, who is
a famous optimist, is pleased with the
congressional free seeds distribution as
it is handled by his department. In his
annual report, issued this week, he
says:

"It is gratifying to review the prog-
ress made in the securing and distribu-
tion of seeds by the department. By a

THE SPIRIT OF APPRECIATION

Is one of the most valuable traits of human nature. Every one of us
has more to be thankful for than we realize. I am very thankful to the
many prosperous and well established business men who have encour-
aged me and placed much confidence in me; am thankful to the many
strangers who became friends and gave me many chances in business. 1
also am thankful to a few "knockers," for they prove that they are
not in my class — they are dead ones and belong to the undertakers, as a
last hope.

Why shouldn't a woman make good in business? If her father, fore-
fathers and a few others were successful, she can inherit some of the
mental qualities, just as well as to have a nose, eyes or a disposition
like father's — but you can't pick cherries off a rose bush.

Don't connect sympathy with a girl in business, for it never existed.
Every man wants a dollar's worth for every one hundred cents he
spends. I have to produce the goods just as good as the other fellow's,
or I don't like to think of the finish. With nine years of experience
and some spunk I ought to know what I can do. The biggest failures
are made by those who never try.

I hav3 Gladstone, Floribunda and Multiflora Spiraea; also Rubrum, Roseum, Album, Auratum and Giganteum
Lilies, "planted, grown, weeded, packed and inspected for me by a special brand of Japs." (Oh! what a lie!)
But — they are as good as the best. If you doubt it, give me a chance to prove it.

isfactory lines. Within the last dec-
ade, ever since the work has been
handled exclusively by the Bureau of
Plant Industry, more than 7,000 tons of
seed have been secured, tested in the
laboratory and in the field, assembled
and distributed.

"Early in the work it was de-
termined to conduct it in such a way
that all the seed secured and sent out
should be of high quality. It was de-
termined, furthermore, to eliminate
costly practices of hand work and to
introduce, wherever practicable, mod-
ern mechanical appliances for facilitate
ing operations.

' ' Notwithstanding the fact that the
quantity of seeds secured and dis-
tributed has nearly doubled in the past
ten years, the actual cost of handling
the distribution is less now than it wa&
ten years ago. The funds saved by
good business management have gone
toward improving the quality and
quantity of the seed and have enabled
the department to take up a number
of special lines which have resulted in
much good.

"Special features of seed distribu-
tion have been maintained, such as
securing and distributing types of cot-
ton better adapted to certain conditions
in the south. Many of these types have
been developed through breeding and
selection. The extensive propagation
of new types of citrus fruits adapted
to home use has also been followed.
Large numbers of citranges developed
by the plant breeders of the depart-
ment have been propagated and sent
out under congressional distribution.
Large quantities of special forage-crop
seeds have been distributed in all parts
of the country.

"There is just now being put into
effect a plan for the distribution of
special seeds adapted to dry-farming
conditions. The future success of dry
farming in the semiarid districts will
depend in large measure on the adapta-
tion of suitable crops for these districts.
An appropriation was made for this
purpose at the last session of Congress,
and special types of sorghums, wheats,
oats, barleys, grasses and legumes of
various kinds will be distributed the
coming year throughout the entire
semiarid region.

"In connection with the congres-
sional vegetable and flower seeds there
has been a steady improvement in the
quality distributed, and that this has
been appreciated is shown by the in-
creased demand for them. That part
of the congressional seed distribution

The Florists' Review

69

A bull trader, at the end of a bear day, tried
a fifty cent "regular" dinner in New York, and
was astonished to find it quite palatable. He
said to the proprietor, as he paid his bill, "That
was really a very good dinner; I don't see how
you can give it for the money." The proprietor
looked sad as he replied: "Oh, well, you know,
accidents will happen." The florist occasionally
nuay be astonished to find that a lot of low-
priced lily bulbs turn out very good — accidents
will happen. Horseshoe Brand Bulbs never
"happen" to be reliable — they are reliable by
nature, with a uniformity of excellent quality,
which costs money to produce and saves you
money to buy. The hardy Japanese liliums,
such as Auratum, Magnificum (the improved
Rubrum) and Album, are a most excellent ad-
junct to the progressive retail store, and in the
proper season add. greatly to that variety of
refinement in flowers so attractive to flower-
lovers. In bulbs of this kind, the largest and
highest priced bulbs always pay the best if
properly grown, and there is nothing more hand-
some than a fine large plant of Speciosum Lilies
or Auratum, with many flowers. Mammoth
bulbs must be ordered about a season in ad-
vance. We give below what we have to oflfer

I Pacific Coast DepartmentI

SEATTLE.

The Market.

Thanksgiving trade was hardly so
good as last year, and certainly was not
up to expectations. As usual, everyone
laid in an extra supply and in many
cases there was not a corresponding de-
mand; consequently many chrysanthe-
mums were on hand for the next few
days. Some extra fine mums are on
sale, but the higher priced ones do not
move so well as in former years. The
cause of this is not far to seek; with
the market flooded with cheap stock
from California early in the season, the
public was loath to pay fair prices later.
Carnations are none too plentiful and
the wholesale price has been slightly
raised, but indications point to a sud-
den drop before Christmas. Eoses of
fine quality are fairly abundant and
the sale for them is good. PapeV Whites
and Bomans are in good supply and
meet with ready sale at fair prices.
Some stores have shown a few poin-
settias, but there is not much call for
them till Christmas.

The demand for pot plants is never
so good at Thanksgiving as at Christ-
mas, and the majority of the stores do
not display an extra quantity for the
former holiday. The plants that were
offered were in most cases good and
some were especially fine. Lorraine and
Cincinnati begonias were offered, but
cyclamens will be a whole lot better in
a few weeks. Stevia is fairly plenti-
ful. The sale of huckleberry and green
of all varieties is good. While the
transient trade has been poor, there was
quite a lot of business done in decora-
tions.

Various Notes.

The store of the late L. P. Walz has
been purchased by Fred W. Gust and
Thomas V. Rhoades, who will conduct
it under the name of The Rosery. Mr.
Gust has been for some time connected
with the store of the Hollywood Gardens
and Mr. Rhoades was for years Mr.
Walz's assistant. They intend to pay
considerable attention to the retail de-
partment and at the same time will en-
deavor to enlarge the wholesale busi-
ness. They are issuing a weekly bul-
letin of prices to out-of-town florists,
specializing on one line each week,
and so far these efforts have been high-
ly successful.

Miss Inez Risdon, daughter of the
popular Brighton grower, was married
on Thanksgiving day to Walter C. Mc-
Kay. The house was sumptuously dec-
orated by Carl Melby.

Julius Schnapp is at present assisting
the Hollywood Gardens, at their store
on Second avenue.

Rosaia Bros, had some fine plants of
standard geraniums at their store for
Thanksgiving. They were grown by
Jacob Umhauff at Madison Park. Being
covered with fine blooms, they were
good sellers.

The plant of the Hollywood Gardens
at the Country Club was visited by a
party of Seattle florists on Sunday,
November 24, at the same time that
their plant at Hollywood was being in-

ARE YOU SATISFIED?

Any florist on the Pacific coast not
satisfied to do a local retail business
can build up a prosperous wholesale
trade by using space in The Review to
let the buyers know where stock is to
be found. This way:

We liave found advertising In The
Review to he very satisfactory. We
have had orders from all parts of the
United States, as well as from the Pa-
cific coast, showing that jont valued
paper has a very wide circulation. At
any time we have any special advertis-
ing to do we certainly shall send it to

Oakland. Oal., October 3, 1912.

spected by a deputation from Taeoma.
The plant at the Country Club is in fine
condition. Pot plants are principally
grown. A house of poinsettias is in
grand shape for Christmas. Lorraine
begonias are a strong feature here; the
plants of these and Cincinnati are cov-
ered with flowers and show considerable
skill in cultivation. The cyclamens are
good and all the stock looks clean and
healthy. The party was hospitably en-
tertained by Gus Bjorkman, the genial
superintendent. An interesting part of
the proceedings was a visit to the lovely
estate of C. D. Stimson, which adjoins
that of the owner of Hollywood Gar-
dens.

The Florists' Club's dance, Decem-
ber 11, promises to b'te a great success,

judging from the way the boys are
boosting it.

houses, each 22x100, at Rainier Beach.

The Market.

Conditions are rapidly improving as
the season advances. Mums are in their
glory; the pleasant weather brought
them out more rapidly than in former
years. Maud Dean mums are coming
in nicely, much in advance of former
years. From the present outlook, there
will be a shortage of mums for Christ-
mas; they are always relied upon for
that particular season.

Thanksgiving day swelled the re-
ceipts for the week. Business was
steady throughout the day and the to-
tals showed a decided increase over
former years. Mums met with the chief
demand and realized good prices. The
football game created a demand for
the better grades. Considerable table
decorating was also on the list. Pom-
pon varieties figured prominently in
this class of work. General stock was
plentiful and of good quality. Roses
ranged from $1 to $5 per dozen, carna-
tions from 75 cents to $1. Everything
was practically cleaned out for the day.
Orchids and valley are scarce, as the
local supply is off crop. Lorraines and
cyclamens have sold remarkably well
this season. Ferns and palms have also
had a good run. Christmas orders are

SPOKANE, WASH.

The Market.

Business the week before Thanksgiv-
ing was quiet, with no special demand.
Chrysanthemums were a glut on the
market and all the stores seemed to be
stocked up with them. Carnations and
roses seemed to be plentiful, with no
good funeral orders to help make a
clean-up. Thanksgiving week opened
brisk and there was plenty of nice stock
for aU. The chrysanthemums were espe-
cially fine, but the retailers could not
get as good a price for the choice stock
as has been the case in former years.
Moderate priced flowers were most in
demand and were cleaned up early in
the day. Carnations and roses, as well
as violets, were in great demand. Amer-
ican Beauties, fancy chrysanthemums
and poinsettias were not much sought
after by the buying public. All in all,
the florists report a satisfactory busi-
ness.

Various Notes.

The Spokane Greenhouses, Inc., sent
in fine poinsettias for the Thanksgiv-
ing trade, as well as some fine Oolden
Wedding chrysanthemums. They found
a ready sale for their entire stock of
chrysanthemums, which enables them

ated a great deal of interest during the
month and was visited by hundreds of
people. Many fine varieties in bench
and pot chrysanthemums were shown.

Carl Taube, of Muskogee, Okla., was
in the city last week and called on the
trade. He proceeded to the coast and
will visit California on his way to Okla-
homa.

Allen Gerling, formerly with E. H.
Hunt, Chicago, has arrived in the city
and taken a position with the Spokane

LOS ANGELES, CAL.

The Market.

There has been a decided shortening
up in the supply of cut flowers of all
kinds and the Thanksgiving demand
kept everyone guessing until the last,
when a good clean-up was reported all
around. Koses from indoors have sold
better than for many months and the
outdoor crop was also in good demand.
Sweet peas and violets are improving
right along and the demand keeps up
well with the supply. Carnations are
good and there are enough to go around,
Centaureas in all colors sell well. Chrys-
anthemums are over as far as quality
is concerned, though there will prob-
ably be some flowers coming in up to
Christmas, The coming of the holiday
season is heralded by immense sheaves
of cut poinsettias, which arrived rather
earlier than they did last year. They
are well leaved and vigorous; the flow-
ers are large and of bright color. It
is quite evident that there will be no
glut of stock again before the holidays,
and retailers who are wise are placing
their orders for holiday delivery.

Plants are more in evidence than
usual at this time of year, as the hot
weather has brought on azaleas, poin-
settias,. begonias and other stock much
faster than in other years. Azaleas, so
far, are not as well flowered as usual,
but the plants are clean and bright,
making a pretty show in the windows.
Orchids are plentiful, but the growers
are cutting them before they are fit
and consequently they do not last well,
Phalffinopsis is being shown, but the
flowers are not in so much demand as
the cattleyas. Valley is plentiful and
good. There are plenty of all kinds of
greens, but they are selling rapidly.

holly is exceptionally well berried this
year. Price cutting on this stock is
far too prevalent. There is no neces-
sity for this in a season when both
demand and supply are good. Sooner
or later the price cutters will have to
come into line, and they will then re-
gret that they did not make a legiti-
mate profit right along.

Various Notes.

Bulb growing for cut flowers must be
profitable; all the growers around the
city are planting increased acreage this
season.

J. B. Monasco has been cutting ele-
gant Ulrich Brunner roses from his new
place. He has evidently struck a good
rose soil again.

George Watson is sending in azaleas
— nice, little, neat specimens of Simon
Mardner.

The whole of the staff at the Los
Angeles Flower Market have been un-
der the weather. First of all A. Clark
had to "lay off" with a severe cold;
then C. Morton and later W. Morton
followed, though Will is still keeping at
it. The shipping orders here, previous
to Thanksgiving, were exceptionally
heavy; indeed, the whole month was a
record-breaker.

recently. A fine basket of carnations
was arranged and a large handle was
hung with "Frankfurters," "wursts"
of various kinds and other things of
a like nature, beloved by Teutons. The
artistic effect can hardly be described
as good, but dollars have to be chased
and this kind of hunt comes as easily
as any other. Funeral work keeps up
well at the store.

Bert Bateman, who has been with the
Hayward Floral Co. for about two
years, has severed his connection there
and is now with Frank Lichtenberg,
on Fifth street. A superb table decora-
tion, so simple that it could not help
being attractive, was a feature of the
window display here last week and was
surely a drawing card.

Big stacks of boxes of California

pepper boughs are leaving the H. N.

Gage Co.'s place daily, as this is a

leader here at this time of the year.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.

The Market.

Although we are at the end of No-
vember, the weather is uncomfortably
warm in the middle of the day, with
cool nights. As long as these climatic
conditions exist there will be an abun-
dance of outside stock. There is, how-
ever, some reduction in the quantity of
mums, particularly in the yellow sorts.
The Bonnaffons have been extra cheap
and good for the last month, but we
may expect a stiffening of prices in a
few days. Contrary to the usual cus-
tom, there was little evidence of a ten-
dency to boost prices for Thanksgiving,
which was gratifying to the retailers.
As to the business done, from all ac-
counts the most noticeable feature was
the quantity of stock to be had. This
is of course on account of the mild
weather. Yellow mums and red carna-
tions seemed to sell better than any-
thing else. Fancy roses, of which there
was only a limited supply, moved rap-
idly, but the shorter-stemmed stock did
not do as well. There was a fair num-
ber of poinsettias, both the cut and
potted. They were only in fair de-
mand. The flower-buying public appar-
ently was not quite ready for them.
Red berries, particularly with the street
huckisters, made a big showing on the
streets and formed a large portion of
the business done. Orchids and valley
had ready sale. Violets were cheap and
good. The growers did not raise the
prices and there was plenty for every-
one. Not many flowering plants were
shown, with the exception of cyclamens,
but these were handled in large quan-
tities. A few azaleas made some color,
but as a rule were not good specimens.
It is probably safe to say that the bulk
of business transacted was heavier than
that of one year ago, although the pub-
lic apparently were satisfied with a
cheaper grade of stock.

Various Notes.

The John H. Sievers Co. was in line
with a magnificent house of poinsettias
and another of cyclamens.

Thos. H. Duane, a well known nur-
seryman of Martinez, Cal,, is in town
for a few days.

The largest and finest stock of cycla-
mens shown by any of the growers was
from H. Hayashi, of Elmhurst. He has
been making a specialty of this plant
the last two seasons. O.

William C. Mooee & Co., Newark,
N. J., have a new concrete office building
65x110 and four stories high. A retail
business through agents is done. Wilson
M. Gould is president and general man-
ager.

The California Nurseries and Orchards
have been incorporated at Los Angeles,
Cal., with a capital stock of $250,000.
The directors are G. M. Boyd, F. H.
Smith, F. E. Dillon, E. D. Terrell and
P. D. Barnhart.

Peter Youngeks, C. H. Barnard and
G. A. Marshall are the members of a
committee appointed by the state board
of horticulture to draft a bill providing
for the inspection of nursery stock, to
be introduced in the Nebraska legislature
this winter.

The nurserymen throughout the coun-
try are planning for a big trade next
year. Agricultural conditions are favor-
able to a large planting. Some varieties
of apple trees will be short, but on the
whole there will be a very satisfactory
supply to offer. Small fruit stock will
be in great demand.

Wade R. Maktin, of Lincoln, Neb.,
has purchased an interest in the Yager
Nursery, at Fremont, Neb., and will be-
come a partner of J. A. Yager in man-
aging the business. The firm name will
be Yager & Martin. The nursery at Lin-
coln will be continued and the plantings
at Fremont will be considerably extended.

At the last annual convention of the
American Association of Nurserymen,
Portland, Ore., was selected as the place
in which to hold the annual convention of
1913, but the dates for the convention
were left in the hands of the executive
conlmittee for the purpose of consulting
with the trade organization on the coast.
The executive committee has now decided
upon June 18 to 20 for the convention.

William Wilson, a nurseryman of
southern California, has purchased what
is known as the Abies tract, which lies
three miles east of Hemet, extends from
the eastern edge of the Hemet tract to
Valle Vista and contains 491 acres. The
purchase price, it is said, was approxi-
mately $60,000. The new owner con-
templates extensive water development.
More than a hundred acres are being
prepared now to be set to apricot or-
chard. The improvements now in con-
templation will require an expenditure
of at least $20,000.

THE EUROPEAN VIEW.

Large consignments of peonies leave
the Boskoop nurseries every autumn,
mainly exported to Canada and the
United States. Of course, not every
root is properly cleared from the dead
stems, and those dried stems frequently
contain the small black spores of the
fungus Botrytis paeonia?. In the Bos-
koop Advertiser the inspector of the
Phytopathologic Service at Boskoop
draws the attention of exporters
to the fact that the Department of
Agriculture at Washington is at present
making an exact study of peony dis-
eases, and it is possible that under the
recent Plant Quarantine Act further im-
port regulations will be issued; also the
import of peonies will only be permitted
when accompanied with a certificate of
freedom from injurious plant diseases.
Although the export of peonies is near-
ly at an end for this season, it would be
advisable to carefully remove and burn

TO THICKEN A PRIVET HEDGE.

I have a California privet hedge, 1
year old, which is too thin to make a
satisfactory hedge. Can I make it
thicker by bending it down this fall, in
the same way as the common osage
hedge, or by making cuttings and set-
ting them out in the thin places next
spring? Or what would vou advise t

The best way to thicken the hedge,
provided it is not too old, will be to cut
it back quite hard, say within eighteen

LOS ANGEIiUS NOTES.

[Ooncladed from pace 76.]
Poiiisettias are also good here, and the
new Montebello ranch is contributing
its quota to the output of the store in
the shape of fine bulbous stock.

Outside shipping business keeps the
staff busy at the new store of Murata
& Co., this branch having grown con-
siderably in the last two years. The
fine poinsettias coming from the neigh-
borhood of San Diego are exceedingly
popular locally.

Howard & Smith have secured from
Dieterich & Turner the entire control
of the new red Cherokee rose, Ramona,
and will distribute it from their place.
The stock is magnificent in every way
and its quality is surely another feather
in the cap of Henry Turner. He is the
man Avho has made it j)ossible to put
this grand variety on the market at
a popular price by working up so large
a stock of it in so short a time, while
the name of Howard & Smith behind it
will insure it a ready welcome, as this
firm is not in the habit of lending its
name To anything but the best, either in
roses or any other stock. It hardly
needs a prophet to foretell that the red
Cherokee will l)e in many thousands of
southern and Pacific coast gardens be-
fore this time next year.

Carnations!

A word to the grower of carnations!

This firm has 50,000 carnation plants that are grown exclu»
sively for cuttings, and never allowed to flower.

It has been proved conclusively that plants will not yield cut
flowers and give strong cuttings at the same time; compelling
them to do this, gives wealcened stock.

If your stock is lacking vigor, replace with some of these
carefully handled cuttings; they will put you in good shape for
another year.

We use science and efficiency methods in handling our car-
nations from start to finish; visit our place and see for yourself;
you will not find a yellow or diseased plant.

We root our cuttings in clean Lake Michigan sand,
freighted 200 miles.

We root them cool.

We have 150,000 cuttings ready for DECEMBER delivery, and
we shall have 200,000 for JANUARY.

They embrace the following sorts:

Commodore $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000

Richest crimson scarlet; the best keeper and traveler in the family: extremely free
in bloom: clean, strong grower: a little slow getting into bloom, but brings a big
Christmas crop: won its honors at the Midwinter Kxhibition at Detroit last year.

Tbe Market.

There was an abundance of chrysan-
t)iemums on hand for Thanksgiving and
prices seemed to range much lower
than in the past. We were favored
with a little snow, but it did not seem
to interfere with business.

Just about this time roses and car-
nations of good quality seem to be
scarce, but plenty of medium grade
stock is arriving. Harrisii and calla
lilies seem to come in too fast at this
season, but nevertheless are selling at
a fair price. Valley is plentiful and
of good quality.

The Herald is the Best Commercial Scarlet for you to grow, because it will produce more perfect
flowers in a season than any other scarlet and bring a higher price than any other; because the flowers are
all perfect; stem stiff and keeps the longest. All rooted cuttings guaranteed strong, well rooted and
satisfactory in every respect.

ATLANTA, QA.

The Market.

Our late fall, with its warm, mellow
(lays and light, frosty nights, has given
outdoor plants a long season. In con-
sequence, the growers of old-fashioned
cut flowers have derived more benefit
than heretofore from their cuttings.
Old-fashioned flowers are quite a fad in
Atlanta. While they do not particu-
larly recommend themselves for grace-
fulness, they have the virtue of dura-
bility, besides being within easy reach
of everyone's purse. The demand, there-
fore, for zinnias, marigolds and bach-
elor's buttons has been a steady one
the entire season.

^ A number of old and distinguished
citizens have died recently, when spe-
cially ordered designs and beautiful dec-
orations were furnished bj- the florists.
The regular fall automobile show week,
with its social functions, required a
goodly supply of flowers, and Thanks-
giving called for many cheery blooms
to grace the festive board.

Following the Lowry golden wedding
anniversary, when all the florists were
taxed to supply the large number of yel-
low chrysanthemums ordered for that
occasion, there has been a series of foot-
ball games. Our Tech boys played
against out-of-town college teams, and
as one of the Tech colors is yellow, the
florists have been kept busy "in meeting
the demand for chrysanthemums in that
color.

Various Notes.

The Alto- Vista Floral Co. is cutting
some especially attractive narcissi.

W. A. Hollingsworth 's sliare of orders
for wedding and <lebutanto parties has
kept him in a rush.

.1. S. Coursey has quantities of fine
carnations, which he furnishes to the
wholesale trade.

Mrs. Joines, on Gordon street, has
for several years had fine success with
outdoor plants, disposing of hundreds
of zinnias, marigolds and asters.

reports busy times.

C This giant forcing rose is an American seedling raised at the
Waban Rose Conservatories and has been tested in our
houses for several years.

C. It has proved to be a strong, vigorous grower, and its freedom
of bloom is remarkable for a rose that is fully as large as an
American Beauty.

C Its large, pointed buds, of a clear rose-pink and delightfully
sweet fragrance, are the admiration of all who have seen it.
either growing in our houses or as exhibited by us at the

ENCHANTRESS SUPREIME

THE best Sport of Enchantress up to date, possessing all at all seasons. Calyx is longer and narrower than that of
the vigor and freedom that distinguish its parent. Color the parent variety, and distinct from the latter. Has shown
a light salmon pink— a color that is not only very attractive, no inclination to be a burster. The weak points of Enchant-
but also one that endures full exposure to the sun without ress seem to have been lost in this Sport, and a trial of four
bleaching. A good all-round Carnation that retains its color years' duration convinces us of its great value.

FINE FERNS-"GET THEM AT DREER'S"

PTEEIS FLABELLATA

We offered this Fern for the first time at the Chicago Conven-
tion last summer. Kepeat orders have been coming from cus-
tomers who bought at that time; this should be sufficient recom-
mendation for it. We have only a limited stock of 6-inch pans
left, 35 cts. each.

ADIANTUM CUNEATUM
Good 3-inch pots, $6.00 per 100; 4-inch pots, at $12.00 per 100.
MIXED FERNS FOB DISHES

While the "Dreer Grade" of Mixed Ferns has always sold for
$3.50 per 100, or $30.00 per 1000, in competition with other
stocks at $3.00 per 100, or $25.00 per 1000, we have decided to *■
meet this price and our usual high grade plants will now be
furnished at the reduced price of $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per
1000, but not less than 500 will be furnished at thousand rates.

Send for our Special Holiday Offer of Decorative Plants if
you have not received a copy.

CIBOTIUM SCHIEDEI

CIBOTIUM SCHIEDEI

We are long at the present time on Cibotiums of the size
which we usually sell at $4.00 each; we need the room for other
stocks. They can be supplied either in 10-inch tubs or 10-inch
pans, and as long as the surplus lasts they will be furnished at
the special price of $2.50 each. This is a special bargain and
a chance to secure exceptional value in a good holiday plant.
Order quick if you want them, as this offer will be withdrawn
as soon as the surplus has been reduced.

In other regular sizes we can supply splendid 6-inch pots at
$1.50 each and handsome specimens in 12-inch tubs at $6.00 each.

are hard to tell apart from Adiantum Farleyense, nice stock for
making up Christmas work, which we are selling at $2.00 per
dozen, $15.00 per 100, a trifle more than one-half of what Far-
leyense would cost, and a plant that will not go to pieces with
you in a few days, and is as hardy as Croweanum or Hybridum.

THERE IS
BUT ONE

SNAPDRAGON

worth while— and that is tlie llsht, Sllv«ry Pink. It produces large spikes, it flowers

freely and brings the top-notch price in the (»|)en market.
Whether you are a wholesale or a retail grower, you cannot possibly go wrong by plant-
ing a bench of this excellent variety. It will PAY YOU to do »o. The following
letter from S. J. Goddard speaks for itself:
Mr. Geo. E.'Buxton. Nashua, N. H. October 19, 1912.

Dear 81r: Your light pink Snapdragon I consider the best color of any I
have frown. Just the shade of a KillameT rose and one that the ladies like.
I have watched all the pink ones that are sent to the Boston market, but they
are away behind your variety. I am trrowing jour variety now entirely.

Very tnily yours, g. j. goddard.

The Florists Review

Drcember 5, 1012.

BRAMPTON, ONT.

Report has it that John H. Dunlop,
the largest Toronto grower, has an op-
tion on 100 acres of land partly within
and partly without the town limits, and
intends to remove his greenhouse plant
to the "Flower Town of the Domin-
ion." Mr. Dunlop has certainly been
looking at land in this neighborhood,
but there is no positive confirmation of
anything further having transpired.

The topic of the week has been the
result of the appeal made by a local
lawyer against the decision of the court
last July when the Dale Estate won the
case brought by him on account of
alleged non-payment of arrears of water
rates. The Dale Estate has built up the
largest industry here and brought
Brampton out of obscurity into the
knowledge of every flower lover in the
Dominion, without ever asking a single
favor of the local governing bodies.
Every factory that has located hero
during the last decade has been given
rates, taxes and water free. The Dale
Estate has paid all that has ever been
charged against it for water, and in-
tends now to carry the case to a higher
court.

Beautiful weather prevails here and
everything looks hopeful for a large cut
at Christmas, with the exception of
Beauties and Richmond.

Valley has been advanced in price,
owing to the higher cost of pips in
Germany. Chrysanthemums are done
for the season. Violets meet with a
ready demand at $1.25 per hundred.

W. G. P.

Jamaica, N. Y. — Florent Speiglier has
purchased the greenhouses of John Gil-
kinson & Sons, at Hollis. Mr. Gilkinson
has removed to Millertown, N. Y.,
where he has purchased a farm.

We are growing all our Kentias above 6-inch size In neat C«dar Tuba, made especially for us, with electric wire hoops, painted Kr**n«

These tubs cost several times the price of pots, but we sell the plants at the same price as though grown in pots. The buyer has the
advantage of receiving his plants without breakage of pots and in handsome tubs in which they have become well established and in which
they will continue to do better than in pots.

When In Philadelphia be sure to Look Us Up.

We are easily reached— only 25 minutes from Reading Terminal, 12th and Market Streets, Philadelphia. We have fine triin service— fifty
trains each way every week day— so you can suit your own convenience, both going and coming. When you will see our palms of all
alsaa, from 2>«-inch pots to 12-inch tubs. We are strong on Daoorattva Palma, in 7-inch, 9-inch and 12-inch tubs (made-up or single
plants), which we can supply in any quantity. All our Palms are homa-STOwn (not an imported plant on the place) and well established
in the tubs. They are strong and healthy.

With increased glass devoted to Palms, our stock is much Uursar than m-vmr bafora and never in battar condition.

The Market.

Business last week was exceptionally
fine, with the Thanksgiving demand and
several large funerals. Thanksgiving
stock was at a premium and all had sold
out, so that there was a scarcity follow-
ing the holiday. Eoses and carnations
are again coming in fine, as are violets.
Mums are practically over, but poin-
settias are coming in and they are fine;
a market is found for them readily.
Bouvardia and orchids were good sellers
for Thanksgiving and the market is
well supplied.

Various Notes.

At a recent meeting of the Minne-
sota State Florists' Association, held at
Holm & Olson's store, S. A. Jamieson,
of Chicago, gave a lecture on the uses
of cement for greenhouse purposes. He
illustrated his lecture with a good set
of atereopticon views. This proved ex-
ceptionally interesting and demon-
strated to the florists the various uses
that cement can be put to and obtain
the best results.

J. C. Christensen, who for a number
of years has been superintendent at the
greenhouses of Holm & Olson, has re-
signed and will henceforth devote his
entire time and efforts to his own range
of greenhouses, known as the Acorn
Greenhouses. Mr, Christensen 's brother
has had charge of the greenhouses, but
the business is developing so rapidly
that J. C. Christensen decided to per-
sonally conduct the business,

L. L. May & Co. have added J. W.
Gibson, formerly of Philadelphia, to
their store force. Gus Colberg, the

POINSETTIA PLANTS DECAYING.

AVe are sending you under separate
cover one of our poinsettia plants. The
plant- is fairly representative of the
whole bed. They have been grown in
a temperature of 56 to 60 degrees, al-
though once or twice the house got
down to 50 degrees for a little while.
They have made a good root growth,
but seem now to be losing roots by rot-
ting off. On some plants, just above
the roots and just below the surface of
the soil, it appears as if worms had
eaten the bark. Do you think the
trouble is in the soil? We have had
lots of trouble in getting seeds to ger-
minate in the soil. We shall appreciate
an immediate answer, as we hope to be
able to save some of them.

H. F. C.

The sample plant received was cer-
tainly in a Vjad condition, and if the
others are affected similarly I am afraid
they will not be of much value to you.
It is probable that your soil is of too
acid a nature. This would suit worms,
but not plants. If worms are in the
soil and have clogged the drainage,
give the plants a watering of lime
water. Slake a piece of stone lime
and apply the water after it has
cleared. A lump the size of a hen's
egg will make two gallons sufficiently
strong to expel worms. A temperature
as low as 50 degrees would not hurt

the plants at all. What will injure
them is careless watering. They must
not be watered in a haphazard manner
every day. Do not apply any water un-
less the plants really need it. Too dry
or too wet conditions are causes of a
lot of failures in poinsettia culture.
Perhaps your pots or pans have insuflS-
cient drainage. This would soon cause
the soil to become pasty and sour and
make the roots decay. If the soil is
naturally acid, as evidenced by slime
soon gathering on the surface, it needs
an application of lime to sweeten it.

Greenhouse Heating.

AN UNEVEN TEMPERATTJEE.

Is there any method of heating a
greenhouse, about 17x112, to a unifo™
temperature from end to end! The
house has 4-foot board sides, with glass
in one end to the eaves. The boiler
is in a pit, eighteen inches below the
greenhouse floor. We are using 1%-
inch pipe for returns. With overhead
flows, as at present, the boiler end of
the house is the cooler by several de-
grees. Can you suggest any remedy for
these conditions! The high end of the
flows is over the boiler. How many
tons of hard coal should be required to
heat two houses of the foregoing di-
mensions for five months to 50 or 55
degrees in this part of the state of
New York, where the outside tempera-
ture occasionally falls to 15 degrees
below zero? A. B. a.

The data furnished are so scanty
that it is not possible to tell just what
has caused the diflaculty. It would be
particularly helpful to know the num-
ber and size of the flow pipes and the
number of the return pipes. From tbe
fact that the boiler end of the house
is the cooler, it would appear that tor
some reason the water in the return
pipes is also much cooler at that end
than at the farther end of the house,
and to correct the difficulty such
changes should be made in the system
as will secure a greater uniformity m
the temperature of the water in the re-
turn pipes. . , a

The number and size of the flow pipes
affects the temperature of the water
in the returns, as if the flow pipes are
too small, or too few in number, the
water in the return pipes becomes cooled
to such an extent, before it reaches
the boiler, that an uneven tempera-
ture in the house results. The use of
too small pipes for the returns is even
more likely to be the cause of the
trouble. While 1%-inch and even 1J4-
inch pipes may be used for hot water
heating for short runs, or when the
boiler is several feet below the re-
turns, a poor circulation will result
when they are used in long houses with
open-tank systems, especially if the top
of the boiler is higher than the re-
turns. The circulation will be slow and
the water will be cooled before it
reaches the boiler, as the volume of
water in the small pipes is much
smaller, in proportion to the radiating
surface, than in the larger pipes.

The house in question should have
at least four 2-inch flow pipes, or, bet-

are to be retained, a generator will be
almost a necessity. The proper way
to heat the house would be to use
three 214-inch flows and seven 2-inch
returns; or, with 1^-inch returns, put
in three 2-inch flows and nine returns,
and, unless the boiler is low enough to
obtain a quick circulation, put on a gen-
erator. This should give an even tem-

ply a fair amount of heat. All the

walls is covered with heavy roofing
paper and well protected underneath. I
want a temperature of not less than
50 degrees in zero weather, which is
considered pretty cold here, in southern
Pennsylvania, although last winter the
thermometer registered as low as 36
degrees below zero. I have tried to
give all the necessary information tgid
I think that you will be able, with the
help of the diagram, to understand my
wants. D. E. L.

The sketch shows three houses, of
which No. 1 is 16x54, with three feet
of glass in one wall. It appears to
have only three 1%-inch pipes under
one of the side benches. For 50 de-
grees not less than seven pipes should
be used, of which four should be along
the south wall. House No. 2 is 20x56
and ten feet to the ridge, with two and
one-half feet of glass in one wall, while
the other side adjoins house No. 3. This
house has five pipes on the exposed side
and four on the other. The radiation
is not far from the proper amount.
House No. 3 is 21x85, with a 9%-foot
rid^e, and with two feet of glass in the
east wall and about one-third of the
west side. This house has five 114-iiicli
returns on one side, across both ends of
the house and for thirty feet on the
other side. The radiation would be im-
proved by extending the main along
both sides of the house.

Except in house No. 2, the radiation is
not properly proportioned, but just what
the trouble is cannot be told without
going over the plant. It is possible
that the pipes need grading, or some-
thing may be wrong with the air
valves. If the coils drain by gravity,
they should be three or four feet above
the water level of the boiler. If steam
traps and pumps are used, they should
be looked after.

If the houses are to be heated with
hot water, run a 3-inch flow pipe to
each of houses 1 and 2, and a 4-inch
flow to house No. 3. In house No. 1
use three 2i^-inch flow pipes and six 2-
inch returns. Houses No. 2 and 3
should have three 2%-inch flow pipes
and seven returns. So far as can be
determined from the drawing, there
should be no difficulty about carrying
the flow pipes to houses 1 and 2 so that
they can enter about two feet below
the ridge and then be broken up into
three 2% -inch flows. The flow to house
No. 3 may have to run under the floor
of the workroom, unless it can be taken
into the gable.

The Market.

Trade for Thanksgiving was heavy
and from all reports everyone cleaned
up on about everything in the way of
cut flowers and quite a few plants
moved, mostly begonias and azaleas.
Mums are a thing of the past, only a
few stragglers left to tell the tale of a
busy season. The crop of carnations
during mum season always is kept down
as much as possible and since mums
are cleaned up there have not been
nearly enough carnations to go the
rounds. From indications it will be
several days before the supply increases
to large quantities. Koses are fine and
in good supply, but demand is heavy on
them and at times they have been
scarce. Beauties have been moving
somewhat better of late, but the supply
is limited. Valley is quite scarce, with
trade rather heavy at times. Sweet
peas are not plentiful as yet, but the
supply is increasing right along and it
will not be long before there will be
enough of them to fill all wants.

The stores are beginning to put on
their Christmas garments. Christmas
wreaths, holly, red ruscus and nearly all
of the holiday goods are on display.

Various Notes.

Sherman Stephens reports good busi-
ness, with mums about cleaned up.

E. Metzmaier had a fine lot of Bon-
naffon mums for Thanksgiving, which
were quickly cleaned up.

The Munk Floral Co. is making quite
a display of holiday goods.

G. H. Woodrow is somewhat stronger,
although far from out of danger. He
has had a hard pull and we are all in
hopes he will soon be much improved.

THE SOIL CARRIER IN USE,

SAVES TIME, LABOR \ MONEY

We call your attention to our Oravlty Carriers for conveying soil into and oat of
ffreenhouses. You are aware of tbe great amount of labor necessary for changing the
loam in your benches. It reaulres but a few feet of our Oravity Carriers to reduce

this expense.

Carriers are made in eight and four foot sections, which can be instantly Joined ;
the rollers are of the best seamless steel tubing, ball bearing, and are 14 Inches in length
by 2*4 inches in diameter. Cut shows how they operate.

A run of carrier is set up with one end projecting through a window and a cart
containing the loam is placed at this end. The loam is shoveled into the boxes, which
are pushed or conveyed by gravity into the house and dumped into the benches. Empty
boxes are pushed back to cart over same run of carrier. When the beds within a con-
venient radius are filled, the carrier is set up at another window and the work contin-
ues until all benches are filled. For removing soil the process is, of course, similar.

We shall be pleased to furnish further details relative to construction and dura-
bility of the carriers; also, upon receipt of information relative to size of your green-
houses, furnish an estimate of the cost of a system for your reQulrements.

BOCHESTEB, N. Y.

H. E. Wilson has the largest range
of glass in this locality, totaling about
100,000 feet. With the exception of
roses and about 10,000 Enchantress car-
nations, the houses are devoted almost
entirely to the growing of plants. The
carnations look well. One house of over
12,000 feet is devoted to roses. Bride,
Killarney and Maid. These have done
well, considering that there has been
little sunshine. He has a nice assort-
ment of azaleas, cinerarias and poin-
settias coming on for Christmas and is
cutting callas. Paper Whites and val-
ley. One house is devoted to valley
and smilax. He keeps one house for
palms and ferns for decorations. In
the other houses there are rhododen-
drons, Lorraine begonias, azaleas, a nice
assortment of box and some mums.
There are still some good Chadwick,
Eaton and Moneymaker to cut. Besides
these houses he has about 5,000 feet in
Irondequoit, used for Boston and Whit-
mani ferns. Mr. Wilson reports a
Thanksgiving trade better than usual.

Walter Salmon has gone quite exten-
sively into growing smilax and aspara-
gus.

The harvesting of the aster seed crop
on the farms of James Vick's Sons
shows a fair return on all varieties.

A visit to the greenhouses of Charles
Suhr found 5,000 feet of Enchantress
carnations in fine condition. Mr. Suhr
finds Enchantress the best all-round
carnation he can grow. In his bedding
houses he has a few mums left. He
found the market for them good this
season. The rest of these houses are
at present devoted mainly to primroses,
azaleas, Lorraine begonias and cycla-
mens for Christmas and Easter trade.
His azaleas were the first to bloom this
season. He has a fine strain of prim-
roses in the darker colors. His houses
looked neat and the stock thrifty.

oration this week.

trade for this season of the year.

giving for the florists, for business was
fine and exceeded that of any previous
November holiday. In speaking of con-
ditions one person was heard to say
that it was more like Christmas than
the usual Thanksgiving. The chrysan-
themum was the flower most called for,
and the supply was equal to the occa-
sion. The demand for roses was good
and the supply was excellent. The mar-
ket never was so short on carnations
as it has been for some time. There
was ^ nice lot of stevia. Sweet peas,
violets and valley also had their inning;
in fact, anything in the line of cut
flowers simply kept moving.

Various Notes.

One of the oldest greenhouse plants,
that owned and conducted by Currie
Bros., on Twenty-seventh and State
streets, has changed hands. C. F.
Becker, an out-of-town man, has rented
the establishment. This is one of the
best known places, having early earned
a reputation for neatness and cleanli-
ness.

Currie Bros. Co. reports a fine week;
could have sold more carnations and
Beauties if they could have obtained
them.

Holton & Hunkel Co. says Thanks-
giving was the best yet. Mums are
done.

C. C. PoUworth Co. also says business
was fine, but the only thing they ran
short on* was carnations.

Richard Lietz, at Fourteenth street
and Fond du Lac avenue, was fortunate
in having a good batch of Paper Whites
in full bloom the fore part of last week.

Wm. Zimmermann is about the only
one who reported a special call for pot
plants for Thanksgiving.

M. A. McKenney Co. reports an un-
usually heavy demand for cut flowers
last week, especially Thursday.

Wm. Currie has been elected vice-
president of the newly organized curl-
ing club which intends to play at
Washington park in the near future.

Facts About

Direct Pressure

Water Supply Systems

F YOU are through experimenting with inferior and
unreliable contrivances for handling the water sup-

ply question and your needs now demand that the
problem be solved, then Standard Systems demand
your attention.

The very nature of the water supply problem demands
reliability as first consideration in purchasing a pumping en-
gine. Manufacturers who have spent less time than we in
studying this problem are naturally unable to cope with it as
our many years' experience has taught us to do. We are
pioneers in this line and when you install a

Standard Pumping Unit

you are through experimenting. We have done that for you.

In that new Catalogue No. 12, we recently had published, all types of
"Standard" gas, gasolene and electric pumps are described and illustrated in a
most complete way. Interesting facts and figures, together with unusual illustra-
tions, make this book valuable to you. You will find twelve half-page illustra-
tions which explain greenhouse systems.

There is not another catalogue in the greenhouse field that touches so clearly
on the subject. A copy should be in your hands.

Write for It today, to the

Standard Pump & Engine Co.

Column-free House for Vegetables

Up AT IRONDEQUOIT, N. Y.." there are two Metcalfe
brothers, each having his own vetretahle-Rrowing
business.
The earjy part of last year one of the brothers, famil-
iarly known as " Rred," built one of our column-free iron
frame compression truss houses, 40 feet wide and 175 feet

lOliR.

The other brother (C. H.) kept an eagle eye on the house
as it went up and finally came to the conclasion that it wai
tbe kind of house he also wanted.

So along the middle of the summer we finished this one
for him. 40 feet wide and 133 feet 4 inches long.

You will notice that the compression trussing hangs
unusually low. This was done to bring them down far
enough to form the right height supports for the overhead

cucumber wiring. The entire absence of columns is a fea-
ture some growers feel to be a grnat advantage. Others
don't mind columns and claim they are an advantage.

As far as strength and durability is concerned, one
method of framing is as strong as the other, f rain«<l a* w«
fram* tham.

To advis«» you in this advertisement tl e kind of house
you ought to have would be folly. It Is notour wa> of doing
business. We flrstmust know the full detai's of your wants.
Then and only then cah any intelligent, dependable advice
be given.

If you are ready to take up with us, in an earnest, prac-
tical way, the question of that next house, we will gladly go
into it with you from A to Z.

Say when.

TO TRACE RETURNS FROM THIS AD, we will add to all orders for the goods mentioned below
of $50.00 or over, absolutely free of charge to those mentioning The Review, a splendid glass counter
show case, with copper-colored metal trimmings, equipped for displaying both ribbons and chiffons. This
case is a sightly ornament to any flower shop.

CHirf ONS

No« the Ordinary Sort, but ARISTOCRATS of Their Kind
GUaRANTEEP SAVINGS OF 20 9^ TO 40 9^

Do not confound these with the ordinary chiffons of commerce.
We particularly recommend these lots to florists desiring a variety of colors and
styles of the season's choicest chiffons at a

TREMENDOUS SAVING

After an enormous season's business, by far the largest in our history, we see great
breaks in some of our stocks.

In some patterns and widths we may have several thousand pieces of White, but no
Pink. In another, just as good and salable, a great quantity of Pink, but no White, etc.
As our general stocks of Whites and Pinks are so large, a good preponderance of these
colors is assured.

Our goods are always priced right at the beginning of the season, so therefore we
find it unnecessary to resort to great price reductions at the end, except in a special in-
stance such as this.

UNDERSTAND THAT THIS OFFER DOES NOT INCLUDE ODD SHADES.
CHEAP. SHODDY OR SHOPWORN GOODS

The best proof of our confidence is to se nd the lot subject to examination and five
days' approval to any reputable florist in the United States. The entire lot to be returned
at our expense if unsatisfactory.

LOT NO 1-1000 YARDS. PRICE 3 c PER YARD
LOT NO. 2-1000 YARDS, PRICE 5 c PER YARD

AMOUNT. $30.00
AMOUNT. 50.00
AMOUNT. 75.00
AMOUNT, 95.00

Totals may vary a few yards, more or less, owing to variation in length of pieces.
Each lot includes many varieties and styles, assorted in all the desirable colors, White
and Pink predominating. Also a goodly quantity of Lavender, Violet and Purple, with a
sprinkling of seasonable shades like Yellow and Nile.

A moderate amount of Christmas Reds and Greens.

Lot No. 1 comprises widths from 4 inch UPWARD.

Lot No. 2 comprises widths from 6 inch UPWARD.

Lots Nos. 3 and 4 comprise practically ALL WIDE WIDTHS.

Groods sent on five days' approval. Regular terms.

LOTS POSITIVELY WILL NOT BE BROKEN

A Merry Christinas and
Happy New Year to our

friends and customers in New England and everywhere!

We are going to carry on hand for the Holidays ab-
solutely the finest grade of potted plants ever seen in
a wholesale plant house. Below are quoted a few
items with prices.

Azaleas $0.75 to $5.00

Poinsettias 35 to 5.00

Heather 1.50 to 7.60

Begonia Lorraine 50 to 5 . 00

0yclamen H5 to 2.00

Camellia 2.00 to 5 00

Orange Trees 1.25 to 6.00

IN DECORATIVE STOCK

Pandanus Veitchii, Dracaena Terminalis, Arau-
carias, Kentias, Ferns in variety, Phoenix Roebelenii,
Pteris in variety, also everything for filling Hampers.

Yoi^K

Christmas will soon be here and will be the best the trade
has ever known. As each Christmas and Easter goes by, we
realize that the demand is more and more for plants, and,
while the stock on the market this year is better than ever,
present indications are that the supply will fall far short
of the demand. In placing your orders for holiday stock,
have you ever realized what a tremendous convenience the
Wholesale Plantsman could be to you? Do you know that
you can, in one-half hour, at our house, see the product of
all the best growers within a shipping distance of New
York? To look over the same variety of stock would neces-
sitate the travel of many miles, take a number of days, and.

cost a great deal of money. Again, do you realize, when
the busy holidays are at hand, what a vast convenience it
would be to receive your stock from one source? No delay,
there on the minute you want it, and in the condition you
want it. Each plant is selected, wrapped and packed, the
last with as much care as the first, and each in prime con-
dition. Last year we had a big shipping trade, this year
we want to double it. We know we will have our old cus-
tomers back again. We also want new ones. Get in line.
Come and see our stock. If you can't, send your orders in
and they will receive the same care they would if you
selected them yourself. ^

In sending orders, by mail or telegraph, please be explicit in stating either length or price of
Roses wanted, as otherwise we can only use our best judgment in an exceedingly busy time and can not
afterward entertain complaints. On- account of every customer calling for extra quantities of flowers at
the Holidays, we frequently find it advantageous to ship part of an order and let the balance follow on
a later train. Unless customers designate the train stock is to be shipped on, we use our best judgment
in such matters, in order that every customer may get all the flowers he wants. No complaints enter-
tained where definite shipping instructions do not accompany the order.

color. They are the best in the middle west, and our Richmonds are very choice.

KILLARNEY — Both Pink and White are in big crop and of choice quality.

MRS. AARON WARD — We have the largest quantity in this market, and for
color and size of bloom they have seldom been equaled. This is the rose the
people want.

NOVELTIES IN QBEENS.

Brisk Sellers in Good Stores.

Every retail flower store of course
does a large business at Christmas in
the various holiday greens, but the com-
petition of the grocer and the butcher
has cut down the profit on the sale of
the cheaper forms of Christmas decora-
tions. Single-faced holly wreaths and
^ound pine roping no longer. have the
value they once had in first-class flower
stores. Of course, the florist still sells
these articles, and by handling a bet-
ter grade than is handled by the corner
grocer he does business with a class of
people who will pay fair prices. Conse-
<juently, the ordinary Christmas greens
are not to be neglected, but in the
stores that cater to the better class of
trade the need of novelty has developed
some new ideas in the sale of Christ-
mas greens. Some of these novelties
are illustrated on this and the sueiQeed-
ing pages of this issue. Not all of
them will at first sight appear as of
large importance, but in the stores
where these were shown last year an
excellent business was done with them
and at profits much better than the
profits to be made on the staples in
Christmas greens.

The Wall Decoration.

An enterprising decorator took a
sturdy bough of hemlock as a base and
on it built a flat bunch after the fash-
ion of the ordinary funeral spray, using
some smaller pieces of hemlock, the well
known Christmas red berries, some
holly branches and some mistletoe. The
bunch was wired firmly, so that it could
be hung on the wall without danger of
•coming to pieces, and a big bow of wide
Christmas red ribbon was tied at the
point at which it is attached to bunches
•of flowers. The illustration showing
the use of this wall decoration does
the subject inadequate justice because
the colors are not possible of re-
production. But these proved good
sellers, and those whose taste would
prompt them to buy were people of
sufficient means so that the florist was
able to get a much better profit than
could be had on a simple holly wreath.

Basket of Berries and Cones.

The illustration on page 30 shows an
Italian straw basket in the Christmas
color. All that was needed to make it
salable was filling with pine cones, any
kind of evergreens in short branches,
with a liberal addition of the red
Christmas berries. Some retailers who
used the idea last Christmas were able

to secure the cones from some local
source of woods supply, but others used
the stock offered by the florists' supply
houses and were able to devise a large
number of variations on the filling of
the baskets, so that no two sent out
were exactly alike. The idea is not one
that can be used for general trade, but
where people are looking for something
different — and there is an undoubted
monotony in the ordinary run of Christ-
mas decorations — these Christmas bas-

Wall Decoration of Christmas Greens.

kets were found good sellers. A variety
of uses suggested themselves to buyers
po'ssessed of the artistic temperament.

Baby Christmas Trees.

In recent years the baby Christmas
trees have enjoyed an excellent popu-
larity. The provision stores sell them
for a few nickels each, but the florist

who trims them up effectively can
charge dollars. The illustration on page
31 shows one of these little trees which
was mounted on the ordinary plateau
used for table centerpieces of cut flow-
ers. The butt of ihe tree was flrst in-
serted in the usual block of wood, which
was set on the plateau. Then it
was covered with moss, which wa»
wired on just as though cut flowers
were to have been used. Then around
the base of the tree the moss was stuck
full of short holly branches and short~
sprays of the Christmas red berries.
The addition of some Christmas red rib-
bon in the top of the tree completed
the work. This made an ideal table
centerpiece and the price obtained was
ample compensation for the work in-
volved.

A variation on this arrangement was
to mount the Christmas tree in one of
the low Japanese baskets, and anyone
who starts out to devise means of vary-
ing the stock will find it possible to
prepare a considerable number of pleas-
ing styles. Only don't have too many
on view at once. People who are will-
ing to pay for such novelties do not
like the idea that everyone in town is
going to buy something similar. A
novelty is all the better for carrying
with it the idea that it is exclusive.

Table Noyelties.

The illustration on page 31 shows
three simple ways of offering Christ-
mas greens in attractive and novel
form and making them the means of
selling the receptacles. At the left in
the illustration is one of the braided
baskets of the style of the schoolgirl's
handbag. It is filled with hemlock, red
berries and mistletoe, but holly or any
other greens could be used to as good
effect. In the center is one of the sim-
ple china cut flower receptacles fllled
with Mexican ivy and short, heavily
fruited sprays of the Christmas red ber-
ries. The basket at the right proved a
particularly good seller. The basket is
square at the bottom and round at the
top and contains a pan which was
mossed. It was filled with short pieces
of hemlock, Christmas red berries and
mistletoe, with a rosette of Christmas
red ribbon on the handle. The basket
itself was white, with a decoration con-
sisting of a garland of red flowers.
Discriminating flower buyers find these
excellent Christmas table ornaments.

Quality in Christmas Oreens.

It is possible for the florist to buy
holly wreaths at prices which will per-
mit him to compete with the cheapest
seller in his neighborhood, but the

flower store really should not make
cheapness its selling point; the people
who patronize the florist do not want
to class the flower store with the curb-
stone seller of Christmas greens; they
like the idea of buying at a place that
has a reputation for quality. The flo-
rist should offer a Christmas wreath dis-
tinctly better in quality than can be
bought at any of the places that -handle
decorative material merely as a side
line to catch loose money at Christmas.
It pays. It is just as easy to sell a good
wreath as a cheap one, and the profit
on the sale of a good wreath is as great
as the profit on several sales of the
cheapest wreaths.

The florist who makes the money is
the one who plans his operations well
in advance. Do not wait until the Mon
day before Christmas before you figure
out what you are going to offer in the

HOLIDAY PLANT ABBANOEMENTS

Some Good Sellers Illustrated.

There is no great variety in the
Christmas plants — the number of kinds
is limited to a comparative few and
they are practically the same from
year to year, but there is infinite va-
riety in the accessories and by their
use the capable retailer can provide an
assortment of stock rich in variety and
in artistic attractiveness. The illustra-
tions in this issue are good examples
of the class of Christmas plant arrange-
ments that sell well in all up-to-date
flower stores.

Possibly the most widely sold Christ-
mas plant is the cyclamen. The ways
in which it can be offered in combina-
tion with other plants in baskets are
simply endless, but a well-flowered

way of Christmas greens. Make your
plans now and arrange for your sup-

is too late and you are too busy to

Youngstown, O. — December 4 a heav-
ily loaded street car ran away on the
Fountain avenue hill, leaving the track
at the comer and crashing into John
Walker's greenhouses, demolishing the
ends of several houses. Mr. Walker
was in Cleveland at the time. His loss
will amount to several thousands of dol-
lars, for which the street railway com-
pany is good.

cyclamen deserves a green toneware
receptacle and an opportunity to show
its individuality, as is seen in the illus-
tration on page 34. This plant carried
thirty blooms and the retailer who of-
fered it last Christmas found his only
difficulty in not having enough of them.

The Christmas basket on page 37 is
simplicity itself. It is filled with Pros-
erpine tulips and Boman hyacinths, a
touch of Easter amid the snows of win-
ter. It was an excellent seller, but
hardly fussed up enough to seem at-
tractive except to people of educated
taste.

It is not in every store that big
mixed baskets of plants can be sold,
but every store can do business with

small baskets filled with a variety of
material. The small baskets call for
small plants, but a number of them
can be used. The illustration on page
36 shows a willow basket of the nat-
ural color, with a Japanese maple lift-
ing its variegated foliage in the cen-
ter, surrounded by cyclamens, with
Whitmani ferns on one side and a
small pandanus on the other. If the
baskets are provided with metal liners
and the combination is carefully
planted the keeping qualities are excel-
lent and one sale leads to another.

The gold basket on page 38 was filled
with Proserpine tulips and primulas.
It made a handsome table ornament
and has sold well in previous seasons.

No matter how high class the trade
handled, there always is a demand for
inexpensive plant arrangements, and
those got up with a fair degree of
taste always prove good sellers. An
example of this character is the illus-
tration on page 39, which shows a pink
primula and an adiantum in a willow
handle basket. Another is the illus-
tration on page 39 showing white
primulas in a willow hamper that had
been stained green. In the store where
these were shown last Christmas dozens
were sold.

The illustration on page 32 shows two
ways of filling the same basket with the
best selling Christmas plants, primulas
and cyclamens. These are oval baskets
of attractive character, but of medium
price. They are metal lined and plants
in them will remain attractive for
many days. Such arrangements sell well
and give satisfaction.

The poinsettia is the special Christ-
mas plant and, combined with crotons
and Parleyense, as shown in the illus-
tration on page 37, it is an extremely
good seller. The croton is rapidly gain-
ing in popularity, both as a plant and
for color effects in table and design
work

The Lorraine begonia has been shown
in simply countless different styles of
Christmas plant combinations, but it
really is entitled to an opportunity to
show its individuality, as in the illus-
tration on page 35. The plant illus-
trated is Begonia Glory of Cincinnati,
but the average customer does not know
Cincinnati from Lorraine. The differ-
ence frequently is apparent, however,
in the enduring quality of the plants
under the average dwelling conditions.

It may add something to the interest
in the illustration on page 33 to know
that the original was sent as a Christ-
mas gift last year to the. home of Mrs.
Harold F. McCormick, daughter of
John D. Rockefeller. Such arrange-
ments are too large and expensive to
sell readily in the average flower store,
but one or two are a good investment
merely for advertising purposes, even
if not sold. This was a willow basket
stained brown. The handle was bent
in heart shape. With crotons in the
center, surrounded by poinsettias, and
with adiantum below the bright bracts,
with the addition of the ribbon on the
handle, the arrangement was admired
by everyone who saw it and finally
found a purchaser at an excellent fig-
ure.

The illustration on page 35 shows
three attractive ways of offering the
ardisia for Christmas. This is a plant
which should not be overly embellished.
No one would think of offering it in
the red pot in which it has made its
home for the last few months, but all

that is required is to shift into some
attractive receptacle. In the illustra-
tion the plant at the right was in a
copper jar with brass hoops. The plant
in the center was in one of the Jap-
anese baskets, of which there are so
many quaint and inexpensive forms,
while the plant at the left simply has
been shifted to an oddity in flower
pots. The leading retail flower store
in which these were shown last Christ-
mas found them excellent sellers at $7
each.

CARE OF CHBISTMAS PLANTS.

Azaleas.

There are few more popular Christ-
mas plants than azaleas, the bright-
colored sorts, such as Hexe and Mme.
Petrick selling particularly well, al-
though other colors also sell moderately
well. Of course all of the stock wanted
for the holidays will have been in
heat for some time, and if a few
flowers are now expanded and the bulk
of the buds showing color they are in
just the right condition. Any which
are at all backward must have plenty
of heat; 65 degrees at night is not too
much. Spray them freely. This hard
forcing will cause the plants to make
growths ahead of the flowers, and these
young shoots should be rubbed off, as
they check the development of the
flower buds. Remove plants nicely in
flower into a cooler house, but do not
let the change be too sudden, so as to
cause wilting. Be sure to have a good
stock of small plants on their own roots
in pots and pans. The red varieties
are in big demand each year.

Camellias.

It is pleasing to note a coming in
again of that one time popular flower,
the camellia. Of course when compared
with other hard-wooded plants, such as
azaleas, ericas and acacias, their sale is
not large, but there is no mistaking the
fact that they are growing in favor,
perhaps not so much commercially as
on the large private estates. I have in
mind quite a few of these where con-
siderable space is given to them.

Camellia plants carrying two or three
flowers are quite salable at the holidays.
If plants have hard, green buds, which
have not yet started to swell, they can-
not be flowered on time. These plants
will not stand forcing like azaleas. It

will only cause the buds to drop. About
the only time they relish much heat
and moisture is while making their
growth. By all means grow camellias
fairly cool, not exceeding 50 degrees
at night at this season.

Poinsettias.

The brilliant scarlet poinsettias are
among the greatest sellers at Christ-
mas. Owing to a fall of exceptional
warmth, nearly all growers report their
plants as flowering two to three weeks

earlier than usual, but it is fairly easy
to hold them a week or twp in good con-
dition, even with the bracts well ex-
panded. They should not be put in a
really cool house, or results will be
disastrous, but they will stand 50 de-
grees at night and not lose any foliage
if carefully watered. If the foliage is
still dark green on the plants you are
fortunate. Such stock, ev^n if the
bracts are not large, will sell well.
It pays from .now on to pay special
attention to watering and not to sub-

ject the plants to any cold draughts or
low temperature.

There is trouble each year in cutting
poinsettias and having them keep
plump. If cut and put in cold water,
wilting frequently follows, the same as
if the stock is left out of water, but
if the stems, as soon as cut, are seared
on a hot iron or dipped in water that
is boiling or nearly so, the flowers will
keep stiff. It also is an advantage to
wrap each head in oiled or tissue paper.

Lilies.

The crop of Christmas lilies must
now have the buds starting to open.
Then, in a temperature of 60 to 65 de-
grees at night, they will be all right.
There is not the same demand for white
flowers as at Easter, but nevertheless
quite a few longiflorum lilies are sold.
Where the cold storage speciosums are
grown, if they were started in August,
they should now be flowering. They
prefer a lower temperature than the
longiflorums. These cold storage lilies,
both longiflorum and speciosum, do not
make good pot plants, as they lack the
vigor of the newly imported bulbs and
produce a smaller number of flowers per
bulb, but they are excellent for cut-
ting.

Beiried Plants.

Christmas is the time par excellence
for disposing of berried plants. In
fact, the sale for them at any other
time is quite limited. Ardisia crenulata
is deservedly popular. It cannot be
offered at a low rate, but if the fruit
has been well ripened the plants are at-
tractive and readily command a good
price. Late plants should have a warm,
sunny house to help color up the fruit.
There is little use trying to sell plants
with green fruit. Solanums, Christmas
peppers and Otaheite oranges are all
popular fruiting plants for the holiday
trade. The solanums do not mind a
low temperature, but want plenty of
water. The oranges also stand cool
treatment, but the Christmas peppers
do not want to be kept too cooU The
solanums can be profitably moved at
quite a low price, and it is a mistake to

hold them up, for they are almost a
dead loss if not cleared out in the next
two weeks.

Begonias.

Both the Lorraine and Glory of Cin-
cinnati begonias are great Christmas
plants. The latter is much in evidence
this season and J. A. Peterson must
be proud to see how wonderfully it has
bounded into popular favor. I was told
seriously a year ago that it is hard to
pack, as the leaves are too large; that
the foliage spots badly with flowers
falling on it, and that it will never
approach the Lorraine in favor. I think
there will continue to be a place for
each, but there is no mistaking the fact
thaft Cincinnati is, if anything, the
more popular of the two this season.
Its larger flowers and the fact that it
stands house treatment better than Lor-
raine are points in its favor. It is likely
that small plants, in 3-inch and d-inch
pots and small pans, will be in great
demand. The last two seasons many
more of these could have been sold.
Do not keep the begonias too warm
from now on and they will then give
your customers more lasting pleasure.

Csrpripedium Insigne.

That good old orchid, Cypripedium
insigne, is still one of the most popu-
lar sorts in commerce. The flowers
are hardly of a Christmas color, but
it is more sold in pots each year, and
surely for anyone who wants some-
thing lasting it has few equals. It
will not drop its flowers if a little dry
at the root, or wilt, as will most other
plants, but its flowers are good for
some weeksj even in a warm room. I
have seen C. insigne sell splendidly in
little wicker baskets with one or two
small sprays of evergreen or deciduous
holly to brighten it up. If this orchid
is not sold at Christmas, it has one fine
property, viz.: that it will continue
perfectly salable for some weeks.

Ericas.

The ■ ericas, such as melanthera, are
quite easily flowered for Christmas and
meet with quite a good sale. This is
another plant which will not tolerate

forcing, which must always be grown
cool, but which is quite accommodating
in that it will remain fresh a long
time. Any temperature just above
actual frost will suit it. Some growers
abuse it by standing it outside their
doors on quite frosty days. It may not
,^Hpf mae^ill effects while outside, but
th^flowers will soon become brown and
the foliage drop in heat. Be sure to
keep the roots moist. No hard-wooded
plants will stand much drying, and
ericas are in this respect probably the
most fussy and consequently the most
injured of the whole family. The ericas
which were retained in pots flower
earlier and are thus better for Christ-
mas^than such as were planted outdoors
in summer.

Lily of the Valley.

Lily of the valley is a great favorite
with practically everyone. I sometimes
hear people say that they get tired
of roses and carnations, but how often
do we hear of anyone growing tired of
lily of the valley? Pots five and six
inches in diameter, with fifteen to
twenty single pips in each, will make
salable plants. If they were started
late In November they should now be
grown sufficiently to place in the full
light in a temperature of 60 degrees
at night. As they are getting fully
opened, give them slightly cooler quar-
ters, but be careful on this point, as a
drop of 20 degrees will cause the plants
to wilt.

Decorative Colored-Leaved Plants.

The highly colored crotons and
dracaenas make excellent plants for
warm rooms, as does Pandanus Veitchii.
All of these stand the drying heat with
little injury. Do not, however, make
the mistake of mixing these rich foliage
planiis in the same pans or hampers
with poinsettias, as they hardly agree.
Speaking of these tropical plants, we
are reminded of the fact that now,
when firing is more steady and the sand
in the propagating bench will be warm,
is a good time to get in a batch of cut-
tings of crotons, pandanus and dra-
caenas. It is well also to remember

that none of these plants should long
be exposed to a temperature lower than
50 degrees, or they will soon show it in
loss of foliage. They should therefore
be extra well protected when sent out
to customers during severe weather.

Fern Dishes.

There is invariably considerable call
for fern dishes at Christmas and it is
well to have a good number made up
in advance. Some prefer them with a
small Cocos Weddelliana as a center-
piece. If a sufficient stock of these
^ small ferns has not been laid in, se-
cure them at once from one of the
spiecialists. All the pteris are good,
except, of course, such rank growers as
tremula. Such adiantums as Groweanum,
cuneatum and gracillimum, Cyrtomium
falcatum, Aspidium Tsussimense and
Davallia stricta are all good. The
adiantums look best by themselves, but
other sorts are all right either separate
or mixed.

Specimen Ferns.

The nephrolepis is the great fern for
iiouse culture. The old Boston variety
is still most in evidence and sells bet-
ter than any other sort, but there is a
wide assortment of other nephrolepis
varieties, such as Whitmani compacta,
elegantissima, Todeaoides, and others,
all of which are beautiful. One of the

/=^

finest and most beauti^ of house ferns
is Cibotium Schiedei. It is really sur-
prising how much ill treatment this will
stand without showing its effects.
Cyrtomium falcatum, the holly fern, is
another sort which stands dry heat re-
markably well. Adiantum Fkrleyense
is especially handsome, but given one
chill and one drying up at the root and
it is all up with it. This holds good,
of course, of all adiantums, and to a
greater or less degree of all ferns.
"Watering is of vital importance, or
there will be a great loss while plants
are in the store. Let a man attend to
it who really understands it. Few store
florists know much about it and when
large numbers of valuable plants are on
hand, get a competent greenhouse man
to water them.

Hardy Shrubs.

Hardy shrubs are popular at the holi-
days. The person of moderate means
cannot, however, afford to buy them.
Practically all the berried sorts are im-
ported from Europe and they cannot
profitably be sold at a price within the
reach of nine-tenths of flower store cus-
tomers. English hollies in tubs take
the lead among these berried subjects.
Others are Skimmia Japonica and
Aucuba Japonica. These being plants
which will stand quite hard freezing,
they are excellent to stand outside the

store, and in addition some of the
cupressus, retinosporas, thuyas, abies
and other evergreen conifersB can be
used to good advantage. Neat tubs,
painted green, are better than pots for
all these shrubs. The pots, if hard
frozen, will split and are more likely
to blow over and break in windy
weather.

Primulas and Cyclamens.

Primulas and cyclamens are plants
which can be sold at a moderate price
and are really satisfactory to the pur-
chasers, as they bloom so long under
quite adverse conditions. Some florists
fight shy of Primula obconica, as the
leaves are somewhat poisonous to some
people. In spite of this, however, it
is such a satisfactory plant that there
is no falling off in numbers grown. It
would be well to tell purchasers that
each of these plants will give most sat-
isfaction if grown in a cool room. Too
often salesmen know little or nothing
of the needs of the plants they sell and
advise a warm room for semi-alpine sub-
jects. If we can enly educate buyers,
particularly those of moderate means,
so that they will give the plants ra-
tional treatment, thus prolonging their
flowering season and lives, we will find
them more likely to invest in them.
Nothing so profoundly disgusts the
average buyer as to find plants drop-

ping to pieces a day or two after being
received.

Wrap Plants Securely.

Sometimes we are favored with mild
weather at Christmas. This is a
veritable godsend to those who are
handling plants in quantity, as it means
a great saving in both time and wrap-
ping material. Weather conditions are,
however, i»roverbially fickle, and never
more so than in winter. Unless for
short and prompt deliveries we must
not trust too much to balmy spells of
weather, as the temporary breath of
spring may in a few short hours give
way to the frigidity of the arctics. All
plants, therefore, should be heavily
wrapped where they go by express,
necessitating some hours of exposure,
perhaps, on open vehicles at a season
when the delivery companies have their
maximum of business. Wrap well and
pack securely in the boxes, so that there
can bo no jolting. Customers receiving
chilled or frozen plants have every room
to complain, especially where an addi-
tional covering of newspaper would
have made all the difference in the
world.

Ill the <risi> of such tender plants as

foliage deserves to lose trade. It is
always a good plan to hang a tag on
the plants, "Water this plant well
daily." As a general rule, one soaking
a day, while it may be more than some
jilants require in a greenhouse, is not
too much in the drier heat of the aver-
age American home.

CUT POINSETTIAS WILTING.

We have a batch of poinsettias with
stems four to six feet long and fine
foliage, but as soon as we cut them
they wilt. We dipped the ends in hot
paraffine and then placed them in a
cool, dark room in about two feet of
water, but still they seem to wilt. We
hate to cut them down to twelve to
eighteen inches so long as the stems
are strong and the foliage large and
fine. Will they keej) better later, when

Every year many complaints are re-
ceived of poinsettias wilting badly
when cut. The warmer the plants
have been grown, the more they will

ally lower the temperature some 8 or

gardenias, various orchids, tropical
foliage ]i]ants, lilacs and all plants
which may have been subjected to hard
forcing, use some sheets of cotton wool
as well as tissue paper about the flowers
before using newspapers or other heavy
wrapping. Ericas, camellias, Dracaena
Australis, ardisias, solanums and some
other plants will be uninjured by chills
■which would ruin those of a more trop-
ical nature.

I need hardly say that clean pots and
clean foliage should be the rule. The
grower who sends out dirty pots or

are growing when the bracts are well
developed. This will to some extent
prevent wilting, but not altogether.
When you want to cut any of your
poinsettias, have a pail of boiling
water in readiness and dip the bot-
toms of the stems in it. Do not im-
merse them deeply, merely enough to
seal up the ends. Keep them in this
water for about a minute, or if pre-
ferred you can have a piece of iron
heated red hot, or some hot coal, and
sear the ends. It is important not to
wait until vou have cut a lot of stalks

and then proceed to dip the lot; the
bleeding will materially weaken them.
After dipping in hot water or searing
on a hot iron or coal, I find it pays to
wrap each bract in soft paper before
placing the stems in water.

There is no need to cut your stems
short. They will, of course, keep bet-
ter when the bracts are well developed.
Use jars with a good depth of
water and place, not in an icechest,
but where the temperature holds about
45 degrees. If you adopt these pre
cautions you should have no trouble^ in
keeping your bracts plump. C- "W.

DfAHLIAS IN THE SOUTH.

Soil and Situation.

We had been informed that dahlias
were hard to grow well so far south as
Tennessee, and so it was not until three
years ago that we made any real at-
tempt to grow them here at Nashville.
We purchased a few and planted them
on a southern slope, protected on the
north from the early frosts by a timber
lot. The soil was excellent and they
had good care. We anticipated a lot
of good late flowers, but by the middle
of the summer every one was dead.
Last year we tried again, planting a
few hundred, mostly varieties we had
grown in the north before locating here.
We selected a cold clay soil on a north-
ern exposure. We planted in the latter
part of March, and by the middle of
June we had good bloom. The ground
was well cultivated, and by the middle
of July every plant was a mass of
bloom. Alas, a heavy wind followed by
a flood of rain broke most of them down
and made it necessary to cut the others
back severely. They came on well
again and in the fall gave us a good
crop of bloom. We had such a heavy
demand for the tubers that we decided
to begin growing them in quantity.

AVe had a field that had been so poor
and the clay so yellow that we had ma-
nured it and sowed it to oats and
clover. This hail grown on it for two
years. We top-dressed this clover sod
with a light coat of stable manure and
turned it under early in June. Of
course there was a good crop of green
manure to turn under. The latter part
of June and the first week of July we
planted our dahlias, over 2.50 varieties.
They were kept well plowed and hoed,
and we have never seen a better field
of dahlias in our lives than we had this
year. The attention they have attract-
ed has been a surprise to us, most
visitors having no idea of the progress
that has been made in dahlias.

We are now digging. We cut the
tojis about five or six inches above the
top of the ground, then allow them to
stan<l a few days, till the sap has pretty
well dried up in the stump. We can
do this here, as we will not have enough
frost to kill them before January. The
chimps are then dug and allowed to
dry two days or more. They are then
set in boxes, head downward, or packed
in barrels that have been provided with
ventilation, always being sure to place
the top down, as they keep much better
in this way. They are then put in a
cool, dry cellar.

This method of procedure is not es-
sentially different from what we did in
the north, other than that we allow the
plants to dry after the tops are cut,
before <Ugging the tubers. We do find,
however, that wc must use a cool clav

soil with, preferably, a northern slope.
We have experimented with a few
plants in each of a great many different
situations and are sure we are right in
this.

Some Good Varieties.

Now a few words about the best cut
flower varieties here:

Urutoii has not been surpassed by
any of the newer yellows. Golden Age
is a deei>er yellow, a freer bloomer
and a prettier flower, but it has shorter
stems and does not have as good sub-
stance. <'atherine, a pompon variety
discarded years ago and tried again this
year, has proved the best colored, best
formed, longest-stemmed yellow we had.
We shall grow more of it next season
and believe it is going to be the best
yellow for this climate. It is not a
l)ompon in size here. Mrs. Lafollette is
the best yellow peony-flowered variety
we have seen, although it is a shy
bloomer here.

In whites, Storm King, Flora and
Snow have done the best here. Snow-
clad is a mass of pompon bloom, but has
no stems. Grand Duke Alexis has been
a failure both seasons. Queen Wilhel-
mina, the popular white peony-flowered
sort, is a shy bloomer here.

In pinks the best all-round variety
we have is Fascination. It never fails
to sell and is first-class in every way.
Neither Kriemhilde nor Nymphtea
makes good here. F. L. Bassett, Eureka
and Blue Gbed, although none of them
quite j)ink, are all better here than we
have ever seen them elsewhere, and are
all good sellers. Nothing could give
more long-stemmed flowers than these.
Mrs. Roosevelt is great, although too
shy here. Queen Emma sells on sight
and is a winner, but we have an un-
named seedling sent us by G. D. Black,
of Independence, la., that is similar to
it and of better color; also, it produces
three times the bloom on better stems.
When introduced this should make a
sensation.

Black Prince is the best grower and
freest bloomer of them all in this cli-
mate, it is a popular cut flower of
large size. Countess of Lonsdale is the
freest cactus dahlia here and the best

seller. Jack Eose, Mme. Van den Dael
and Catherine Duer all do well here
and are first-class cut flowers.

But the sensations of the entire field
as cut flowers were Cuban Giant and
Souv. De Oustave Doazon. It was easy
to get 3-foot stems on these, and they
are about as large as the best peonies,
with such coloring as was never seen in
this flower.

That size is not a necessary qualifica-
tion for a popular dahlia was proved
by the pompon variety, Bijou. It is
not more than an inch and a half in

We had just one tuber of a variety
named Alfer. We do not remember
where we got it. We grew three plants
of it. It is a bright ruby red, or pos-
sibly a little deeper, is about six inches
in diameter and has long stems. In
shape it is different from anything we
have ever seen, being, as nearly as we
can describe it, halfway between a
decorative and a cactus. We consider
it the best dahlia of any type or color
we have ever seen, and are not alone
in our opinion. Everyone who saw it
in bloom agreed that it would easily
lead all others as a cut flower if we had
it in quantity. Floyd Bralliar.

diameter, rarely two inches, but is of a
warm, bronzy orange that is hard to
describe. It has been a mass of bloom
frsixn the earliest to the latest, every
flower being held on a long stem well
above the foliage. It attracted the
most attention and was the most in de-
mand both for cut flowers and for tu-
bers for planting next year of all the
2.'>(> varieties.

THE WESTERN ASSOCIATION.

On account of the busy season, the
executive committee of the Western
Dahlia and Gladiolus Association has
postponed the annual meeting and bulb
show at Chicago until the following
month of January. Pull information
will be given in Bulletin No. 4, soon to
be issued. The success of the bulb
show last December showed the plan
to be a good one and all growers are
requested to bring out their best. The
program feature will be greatly en-
larged and everyone is invited to give
his best ideas regarding the outdoor
plants, from the bulb to the flower. If
you do not receive the bulletin, drop
the secretary a card and one will be
sent promptly.

^ ^ SUGGESTIONS I

Winter Protection.

We have reached a period of the
year when severe cold may be ex-
pected at almost any time, and winter
protection should be afforded wherever
it is really necessary. It is not a good
plan to rush this work ahead while the
weather is warm, as this is likely to
undo any good we hope to afford the
plants by giving them a winter cover-
ing. In nearly every case it is much
better to delay all protection until the
ground is well frozen. The mulch, of
whatever nature we may apply, will
then help to keep the ground frozen,
which is exactly what we want.

Herbaceous Perennials.

All hardy perennials should have a
winter mulch of coarse manure, straw
or some other material, not so much for
protection as to prevent the plants be-
ing heaved out of the soil by the al-
ternate freezing and thawing towards
spring. Any plants of somewhat
doubtful hardiness, such as tritomas.
Anemone Japonica, hardy chrysanthe-
mums and incarvilleas, should have a
good coating of leaves or straw. In
the colder states the tritomas and in-
carvilleas are better stored in sandy
loam in a cellar or coldframe. To hold
mulch of a light nature in position, use
the tops of the plants themselves, birch
boughs or pine boughs.

Dutch Bulbs.

Do not cover Dutch bulbs until the
ground is well frozen. If you cover
them, and give a liberal mulch of
leaves or straw, you will practically
exclude frost. The soil thus remaining
soft will give the bulbs a chance to
push ahead and, in the majority of
cases, when the time comes to remove
the mulch in spring you will find the
tulips and hyacinths with such long
and tender sprouts that, even with the
greatest care in uncovering, many are
broken. This cannot happen if cover-
ing is delayed until the ground is
frozen sufficiently hard to hold anyone
up. Try both plans and prove this for
yourself.

Fansies.

Where pansies are carried over in
coldframes it is an easy matter to win-
ter them successfully. Scatter a light
coating of dry leaves over them, but
be sure they are dry, ■»b damp leaves
will weigh down the plants and cause
decay. When steady cold winter weather
arrives, place sashes over them, but
be sure to air freely during mild
spells. When the pansies are out-
doors, to winter successfully they
should be on well drained ground.
Leaves are an excellent covering where
they can be held in position, but on
wind-swept locations this is difficult,
and in such cases meadow hay or salt
marsh hay and litter make the best
covering.

Hardy Boses.

In the case of hybrid perpetual
roses, drawing the soil up to the cen-

ters of the plants is a sufficient protec-
tion, later applying a mulch of manure.
In severely cold locations it may be
necessary to wrap the stems in straw
or to cover well with leaves and loose
manure, in addition to soiling up. With
the hybrid teas, this same protection
is ample in many states, but it is in-
sufficient where minimum temperatures
as low as 15 degrci^s below zero are
common. It is much safer, then, to
lift and store the plants in coldframes
or n good cold cellar, in damp loam, or
bury outside in a trench, later mulch-
ing well with straw or leaves. Where
ramblers, such as Dorothy Perkins,
Tausendschon, Hiawatha, etc., are
likely to kill back, the best plan is to
loosen the canes and lay them down,
covering with a light mulch.

Bhododendrons.

Those beautiful evergreen shrubs,
the rhododendrons, are only hardy in
the colder states when well protected.
Be absolutely sure that they are moist
at the root before severe weather ar-
rives. If not, soak with water. More
deaths are due to dryness at the root
than to winter's cold. Then, again,
location has a great deal to do with
the way they come through. Those
well broken from the morning sun will
in all probability come through un-
scathed, when the same plants with a
southern exposure would be badly
scorched or killed outright. The late
winter sun and bitter winds do the
greatest damage, and from the middle
of February until early April is the
critical time with these plants.

Provided they are moist at the root,
mulch heavily with leaves. Then erect
a framework and tie some evergreen
branches above and around the beds,
unless they are of the ironclad types,
and these are few. Often a good wind-
break of boughs is sufficient protection.
Where evergreen covering is hard to
et)||ijin, burlap can be used to advan-
tage, but care should be taken to allow
air to circulate about the plants; other-
wise it is likely to be injurious.

Various Evergreens.

There are many evergreens of a
rather doubtfully |(ardy nature which
may need some j^Otection similar to
that suggested for rhododendrons in
order to prevent scorching. If there
are any at all dry at the root, water
them abundantly and there will be far
less likelihood of their sustaining in-
jury. English ivy on walls even on a
northern exposure will often scorch
unless boarded over or covered with
some evergreen boughs. I recently saw
a quite unique way of protecting a
high wall of ivy. Coarse fish netting
was hung over it, securely fastened
here and there, and then pine boughs
fastened to it. This made an effective
and easily applied covering. :.^.^,_,

SWEET ALYSSUM NOT BOOTING.

We have thousands of cuttings of
double sweet alyssum, but cannot get
them to root in sand. Will you please
tell me how to root themt Some have
been in wet sand six weeks and still
show no signs of roots.

L. M. S. & C.

The alyssum cuttings should have a
little bottom heat; 65 degrees will suf-
fice, and the top heat can be 15 degrees
lower. In taking cuttings, do not take
the hardest wood, but ends of the shoots
which are softer. Any which can be
cut or rubbed off with a heel will root
more quickly than such as have a direct
cut through the stem. Any of these cut-
tings should easily root within six

drainage.

The methods of constructing solid
beds are as varied as are the styles of
raised beds. Almost every grower has
some pet ideas of his own, which are
duly incorporated in his plan of bench
building. Both wood and concrete are
used for the sides, and for drainage the
material ranges from broken stone to
solid earth. I will give you my ideas of
a practical solid, or rather semi-solid
bed, and then you can modify them to
«uit your case.

Our beds all have wooden sides. "We
use 2x4 red cedar posts, set into the
ground about eighteen inches and
placed four feet apart. Against these,
on the inside, we place the side boards,
which may be one 12-inch pecky cypress
board or two 6-inch boards. We put
them on the inside of the posts for
two reasons: First, because the soil
is kept away from the posts, causing
less rotting; second, because the pres-
sure is against the posts, putting no
strain whatever on the nails which hold
the boards in place. The boards are
set with the upper edge about two
inches above the top of the posts, giving
a height, from the walk to the top of
the bed, of about fourteen inches. This
is high enough for all practical pur-
poses.

For filling we use the cinders from
our boilers. We find them excellent for
this purpose. They seem to be better

than gravel, which we used at one time
to fill out a lack of cinders. The gravel
seems to hold moisture longer, which
is undesirable. Just now broken stone
would act, I am not prepared to say.
The cinders are brought to within four

inches of the top; the coarser clinkers,
etc., are worked to the bottom, so that
a fairly smooth surface mi^y be had.
If they are dry, they should have a
good soaking before the bed is filled
with soil. On top of the cinders we
put a thin layer of long stable manure,
and on top of this goes the soil, about
four inches deep.

Pecky cypress boards will last about
eight years, while the cedar posts will
last twice that long. The sides, how-
ever, can be made of concrete if de-
sired. The height and general dimen-
sions would be the same as for the
board beds. Let the sides be an inch and
a half thick at the upper edge aild widen
to about five inches at the bottom.
Make your concrete out of clean gravel
and make it rich enough to make a first-
class job. Nothing, to my mind, could
be more exasperating than a concrete
bed with pieces broken out here and
there, as we frequently see where a
poor job has been done.

If you use the wire-and-string method
of supporting your carnations, you will
do well to set pieces of 1-inch pipe,
about one foot long, into the concrete
about every fifteen feet. This will
allow for uprights made of ^^-inch pipe.
By using the same size of pipe for cross
pieces, with split tees to fasten them
to the uprights, a neat job can be done.

PLOWING OLD PLANTS UNDER.

I had a few hundred carnation plants
left in the field, which were allowed to
bloom during September and October.
Next spring I intend to sow oats on
the spot where the carnations were, so
as to plow the oats under for manure.
In the following season I would use
this plot for carnations again. Would
you advise me to pull the plants up or
leave them to be plowed under in the
spring! C. B.

Under the plan you suggest, I do not
think it would be altogether necessary
to pull up those carnation plants before
plowing the field. If there was no
stem-rot among them^ and if the plants
are allowed to decay thoroughly before
carnations are again planted on the
ground, no harm will likely result. We
have seen this done repeatedly, with no
harmful results. I would advise plow-
ing them under this fall. A. F. J. B.

ROOTING CARNATION CUTTINGS.

Please instruct me how to take off
carnation cuttings and how to root
them. Should they be cut close below
the joints or not especially close! What
should be the temperature of the house
and what should be the temperature of
the sand in the bench! How often
should the cuttings be watered! Should
they be shaded when first put in sand,
and how long! How long will it take
them to root! What danger points must
I guard against in rooting carnations!
L.S.

Take your carnation cuttings from
the blooming stems, near the base. By
giving a sideways pull you can take
them off without breaking off the leaf
at the axil. Cut them at the bottom,
as far below a joint as possible, in
order to have considerable stem to in-
sert in the sand before you come to the
first pair of leaves.

An overhead temperature of 50 de-
j;rees is about right, and if you have
two steam pipes under the bench there
will be enough bottom heat to keep
the sand just about right. Do not board
up in front of the bench to hold the
heat under the bench, or there will be
too much bottom heat.

Water often enough to keep the sand
in a moist condition. No hard and fast
rules can be laid down as to how often
water should be given. The only rule
would be that the cuttings should never
suffer for want of water, and, if the
drainage is perfect, overwatering is
hardly possible until the cuttings are
rooted.

You will have to shade the cuttings
from the direct sun for a few days at
least. Then begin to let them have a
little of the afternoon sun, increasing
it from day to day, until they,.will stand
up in the full sun throughput the day.
Watch them carefully, however, so as
not to overdo this in the early stages.

Four to five weeks will suffice to
root most varieties. Varieties differ
somewhat in this respect. During the
next ten weeks you should have no
trouble in rooting your carnations, and,
for the best results all around, this is
the proper time for rooting them. After
March 1 you will find more difficulty.
Not only will the sun be much stronger,
but there will be more wind, causing
draughts in the house on account of the
ventilation necessary to keep down the
temperature. A. F. J. B.

STIGMONOSE.

Enclosed you will find some carnation
leaves that have brown spots on them.
Please let me know what is the cause
of them and whether the results are
likely to be serious. E. C.

Those spots on the leaves of your car-
nations are caused by stigmonose, which
is one of the most prevalent diseases
of carnations today. Your remedy will

be in selecting the cuttings for your
future stock. Avoid any cutting that
shows any of these light spots, and in a
season or two you will have your stock
clean, provided you also keep the plants
free from insects.

There is little you can do for the
plants which you have blooming now.
Avoid excessive feeding and over-
watering during the winter months.
Give all the air you can when weather
conditions are favorable. In fact, do
everything you can to promote a sturdy,
hard growth, as any softness in the
growth will show an increase in these
light spots. A. F. J. B.

DRY ROT OF CARNATIONS.

Will you kindly give me some infor-
mation in regard to the following
trouble! On my carnation benches
there are quite a few plants that are
dying. They seem to wilt and turn a
light green. After a few days they are
entirely dead. When the plants are
pulled up, there seems to be a kind of
rot affecting the main stem, starting
above the roots and going up through
the center of the stem to the shoots
that branch out. There it stops. The
stem resembles an elder stalk and is
brittle. The shoots are green and ap-
pear to be all right, as you can see by

the stem enclosed. The other carnation
plants look well and are apparently
healthy. They have had good care,
are producing a nice crop of flowers and
have a nice growth coming. One or
two which I looked at had a small,
white grub or worm in the stem, but
those were all I found, out of perhaps
fifty plants, which showed signs of
being affected.

When the plants are out, I should like
to plant some gladioli. Would there
be anything in the soil that would af-
fect the gladiolus bulbs? L. O. S.

Your carnations are affected with
what is generally known as dry or
branch rot. This differs from the com-
mon wet rot in that it does not require
any moisture to allow the fungus to
develop. It is muclf more difficult to
combat, because the remedies used in
combating the wet rot do not seem to
have much effect on it. In fact, the
only way to eradicate the disease is
to cut away all the diseased branches;
or, if the plants are badly affected, pull
up the whole plant and burn it. Usu-
ally we find that only a limited number
of plants are affected, and these can be
destroyed without seriously affecting
the season's crop. The worms in the
two stems you noted have nothing in
common with the stem-rot.

The gladioli will likely come through
all right, planted where you have taken
out these plants. Sprinkle a little Jiy-
drated lime over the soil first.

A. F. J. B.

SYBINOING AND FEEDING.

Should carnations be syringed at this
time of the year? My plants are get-
ting pretty large and do not dry off
every time. Will this harm the plants?
I have applied Bordeaux mixture and
also Grape Dust; which would you rec-
ommend? Jf these are applied, is
syringing also necessary?

I have Enchantress and White Perfec-
tion in one house. Do these two va-
rieties want the same temperature?
The Enchantress are doing well, but the
Perfection buds do not seem to de-
velop satisfactorily and many splits are
also found among the Perfection
blooms. What causes this? I have
kept the temperature from 48 to 55
<legrees.

Would you advise working the top
soil up a little at this season, or is it
better to apply cow manure? Or is
liquid cow manure preferable? How
often should it be applied? Which is
better for sweetening the soil, cow ma-
nure or lime? H. B.

Confine your syringing to about once
each week. Select a bright day for it,
and get it done just as early in the
day as you can. This will allow the
jdants to dry off pretty well before
night, even if the growth is rather
thick. Should a prolonged cloudy spell
set in, this weekly syringing may be
dispensed with if the plants are free
from red spider. The Bordeaux mixture
and the Grape Dust will not take the
place of syringing, although they may
be distasteful to the spider, but they
will serve to prevent damage from the
moisture on the foliage in case the
plants do not dry off well before night.
Should it turn cloudy after you have
done the syringing, a dusting of Grape
Dust toward evening, or a pinch of
sulphur dropped here and there on the

Primulac in a Willow Hamper Stained Green.

steam pipes, will guard against leaf-spot
and kindred diseases.

Enchantress and White Perfection
should get along fairly well in the
same house. White Perfection will
sometimes throw a few poorly devel-
oped blooms, which I believe is caused
by uneven watering. Watch your
watering closely and see if it does not
disappear.

Do not work up the top soil any more
now. The roots are all through it now
and only harm could result. A light
mulch of well-rotted manure or a light
sprinkling of sheep manure will answer
as a stimulant to the growth. Use
lime or wood ashes to sweeten the
soil. Cow manure would have the op-
posite effect, especially if not thoroughly
rotted. A. F. J. B.

OABNATIONS IN FRAMES.

How can we avoid stem-rotf Would
carnations do all right in a coldframe,
instead of being planted in the field f I
had thought of planting some in cold-
frames next year, with the sash raised
a foot or two, so as to give plenty of
ventilation. We have been troubled
for two years with both stem-rot and
spot, which seem to start in the field,
and I thought they might be avoided
in this way. What would you think of
growing them in pots plunged in a
frame f Any advice you can give us
will be thankfully received, as we are
desirous of having some good, strong,
healthy stock. J. J. C. & 8.

To advise you how to avoid stem-rot,
one would have to know what is causing
it. If your culture is right, there
should be little of it, but should it ap-
pear, you will find the greatest preven-
tive in lime. Bordeaux mixture is es-
pecially good.

Your suggestion of planting carna-
tions in coldframes is all right. They
would do well there. If the leaf-spot
is brought on by excessive rains or
heavy dews, then the frames would
surely help to prevent it. The plants
would, of course, need more care than
when planted in the field, as they would
require regular watering. If potted
into 4-inch pots and plunged to the
rim, they would give good results, but
you would likely get stronger plants if
they were planted out. Those from the
pots would naturally transplant with
less wilting or danger of loss.

far as we can see we have again im-
ported a lot which will not be with us
long. Every season we find it the same,
but there are always some good ones
between the ones that don't do and it
pays to risk a few hundred dollars
every year.

We can sell our flowers at a regular
good price, but we never could get off
the plants as many flowers as growers
do in the same time in your grand
country. Besides, we need here more
coal and have to build expensive con-
struction, as the government regulations
are such that we must build our green-
houses much stronger. Our houses will
last a lifetime, but cost at least twice

as much as any house would cost in
America. We have tried to import
greenhouses from America, but our gov-
ernment would have never allowed the
construction. We are heating our flow-
ers with hot water and use an electric
pump. We found that this is the best
and cheapest heating system and it
^eds little attention. We have in all
our houses now the Evans Challenge
ventilating apparatus and they work
well. Your American construction of
greenhouses is far ahead of our old-
fashioned way, and we are still trying
to find a way to build houses the Amer-
ican style. We^ould invest less and
could produce cheaper than now.

We need here a larger and a better
flower than you do and we never could
sell such flowers as generally grown for
the market in America. Some American
growers who have seen our blooms could
not believe that it was possible to have
such perfect flowers. But we also never
could sell such large lots of blooms as
you can in your country, and so it is
in the whole of Europe. There are no
flowers for the workman; only rich peo-
ple are having cut flowers. But we
have a large trade on pot plants in this
country and I am sure there are many
thousand more sold over her© than in
your country. Otto Dellinger,

CHEISTMAS ADVEETISINO.

The trade is rapidly awaking to the
importance of publicity. In many
cities the florists are getting together
for cooperative advertising, and indi-
viduals everywhere are engaged in ex-
ploiting their business. Retail florists
are using more newspaper space this
season than ever before in the history
of the trade, and in this increased ad-
vertising lies the best hope of the fu-
ture flower business. Every retail florist
ought to advertise, and most of them
are doing so, one way or another.

The Christmas advertising should
have attention at once. No matter what
the plan, the working out of the details
should not be left until the last minute.
Many florists have admired the at-
tractive displays of Penn, the Boston
retailer, reproduced from time to time
in The Review. Such displays are not
achieved by chance. It takes time as
well as thought to get up attractive ad-
vertising matter. Get at it now, if it
has not already had attention.

A Cemetety Wreath for Christinas Use, of Masnolia Leaves, Pine Cones and Buscus.

LILIES FOB EASTEB.

I have a lot of Lilium longiflorum
multiflorum. They are one inch out of
the soil. What temperature must they
have to bloom for Easter?

O. L. H.

This lily, if it is now showing above
the soil, should be placed in a night
temperature of 60 degrees in order to
have it in flower for Easter, which
comes unusually early next year. Be
careful not to overwater until the pots
are well filled with roots. It is always
safest to run the soil a little on the
dry side. To be quite sure of having
your plants in season for Easter, your
flower buds should be sufficiently de-
veloped so that they can be counted
by February 6. If they are not show-
ing then, they must have additional
heat and lots of syringing to bloom
on time. C. W.

A GOOD CEMETEEY WBEATH.

One of the developments of the Christ-
mas trade has been the demand for a
cemetery wreath of quality, and it is
here that the florists' supply houses
have come to the aid of the retailers.
The illustration on this page shows a
wreath made entirely of the materials
offered by the supply houses, which can
be made up well in advance of the holi-
day, and on which orders may be taken
in advance for delivery Christmas morn-
ing. This wreath was made on a mossed
wire frame of brown magnolia leaves,
with pine cones and ruscus. The effect
was excellent and the florist who made
it has a number of standing orders from
his good customers to send one or more
of these wreaths to the cemetery each
Christmas morning.

THE OHIO BOILEB LAW.

A committee was appointed at the

regular meeting of the Cleveland Flo-
rists' Club, held Monday, December 9,
to investigate the state boiler laws that
have been giving so much trouble to
florists in the vicinity of Cleveland.

As the present law reads, all growers
are compelled to have licensed firemen
in charge of their boilers, if the boiler
is of thirty horse-power or over. For
the small grower who does his own
firing this law looks unfair and steps
should be taken by the florists of this
state to repeal this law.

We should like The Review to give
space in its columns for suggestions
from other florists of this state who
have had experience under this law.

MUMS FOR THE SOUTH.

Wc are anxious to put in a better
selection of mums for another season
and as the greenhouse department is a
new branch of our nursery business we
do not feel we have experience in se-
lection of varieties and will appreciate
a little advice. We want just three
practical varieties in the early mums
and three of the practical later ones,
to give us a longer season. Just the
yellow, white and pink colors, or pos-
sibly one good mauve variety also. Our
pink mum this fall did not satisfy us,
being inclined to grow too pointed, or
into a topknot, so we do not want to
propagate from these again. We want
good, large mums, 'but do not feel like
'losing another season experimenting
with new varieties which come too
thigh. G. B. C.

' jI» the vicinity of New Orleans,
where large quantities of mums now
are grown, the following varieties are
considered best:

Early — October Frost and Mrs. H.
Robinson, white; Chrysolora, yellow; J.
K. Shaw, pink.

Late — Timothy Eaton and White
Bonnaffon, white; Dr. Enguehard, pink;
Oolden Wedding and Major Bonnaffon,
yellow. R. E.

TOO MUCH SHADE.

I have had my troubles with mums
this season. They grew spindly and
the blooms did not get large. I topped
them about May 5 and I left a pretty
heavy shade on the glass until the lat-
ter part of September. What I want to
know is: If cuttings are potted in the
latter part of March, can they be
topped and the tops used for cuttings
again? Will they produce good flowers?
Has my trouble been in shading them
too much or topping them too late? If
I put stock plants in flats and put them
in a dark cellar, covering them with
tawdust and taking them out about the
latter part of January, will they pro
duce good cuttings? E. H. M.

The trouble came from shading the
houses all summer. The chrysanthe-
mum needs all the light possible during
its growing season, so it can ripen its
growth. The topping, while perhaps
not advisable, would not seriously affect
the crop unless the plants were topped
back into the old wood, when they
might not break out well. The cut-
tings taken from the tops will produce
flowers good enough for most ordinary
purposes. It is not to be expected that
stock plants put in a dark cellar are
going to produce satisfactory stock next
•spring. Keep the stock plants cold and
•dry, but they must have good light. If
you cannot do this, you will find it
more profitable to use the space for
ssomething else and buy your plants

next spring from (•oine of the dealers
who grow stock specially for that pur-
pose. ■ C. H. Totty.

A BIG SHOW PLANT.

The accompanying illustration shows
what many consider to be the largest
chrysanthemum plant ever flowered in
the west. It was started by the Park
Floral Co., in preparation for the show
which was planned for Denver last
November. When circumstances made
it desirable to postpone the exhibition
to another season this plant was finished
and used for advertising purposes. It
became so large that to get it into the
store it was necessary to remove one of
the big plates of glass and take it in
through the window. The variety is
Georgiana Pitcher and the plant, in
a 20-inch tub, carried 815 buds. It was
photographed ten days before the sub-
ject was at its best. J. A. Sked is the
grower for the Park Floral Co., but this
plant was in the special charge of Wm.
E. Keith, a former Bostonian, who is
seen in the picture.

THE BEST NEW WHITE MUMS.

The sensation of the chrysanthemum
season, in almost every section of the
country, was the variety Wm. Turner,
an excellent bloom of which is shown
in the accompanying illustration. Wm.
Turner is a Wells-Pockett variety and
was sent out two years ago, but it was
not until this season that distribution
was wide enough to permit of its merits
being fully known. Wm. Turner hope
lessly outclasses Merza, a variety that
stood first for many years in its color.
Mrs. David Syme, although it is good,
does not touch Wm. Turner as a show

flower. It is a little inclined to be soft
and this year suffered considerably
with the warm weather. Turner, on the
other hand, kept in perfect condition.
Another white that will give Turner
a hard rub next year is Mrs. Gilbert
Drabble. This variety is somewhat
looser in petalage than Turner, but
makes even a larger bloom; in fact, at
several of the exhibitions this year it
was the largest flower in the show. I
look to see some wonderful blooms of
Drabble shown next vear.

C. H. Totty.

Mr. Totty speaks of the Turner va-
riety as it appeared on the exhibition
tables, but readers of The Review are
chiefly interested in its commercial pos-
sibilities. So here is a clipping from an
English paper whose readers are mar-
ket growers: "During the last three
seasons the variety Wm. Turner has
been shown to perfection in the exhibi-
tion stands, and it has proved itself
one of the finest whites for this pur-
pose. Apart from this quality, it is
perhaps the most useful white yet in-
troduced for market work. If grown
six on a plant, first-class flowers, al-
most exhibition quality, can be ob-
tained; 6-inch globes of white can be
obtained if disbudded to ten per plant;
5-inch flowers if at the rate of twenty
on the plant, while for spray work it
excels all others for from the middle of
November to the end of that month.
All growers should make a note of
this."

SCALE ON LAURELS AND PALMS.

Will you kindly inform me what is
the best remedy for scale on laurel
trees outside! There is the same kind
of scale on the kentias in the green-
house, where it would be possible to
fumigate. Many of the palms turn yel-
low on the older leaves. I believe the
air in the greenhouse is too close and
dry, and whitewash is not a good shade
for palms. How often should I spray
in hot days? Would it be helpful to
wet the steam pipes when they are hot,
in order to get damp air? H. M.

Hydrocyanic acid gas is the most cer-
tain remedy for all members of the
scale family where it can be safely
applied. Jt is, however, decidedly risky
to use it among palms. The best
remedy is to spray with one of the oil
or soap sprays. You will find Aphine
one of the best for this purpose and it
will not injure the foliage in any way.
There are several similar insecticides
which are used for destroying scale.
As the pests are largely on the under
sides of the leaves, it is necessary to
use a fine, misty spray nozzle and thor-
oughly dampen both sides of the leaves.
Several applications may be necessary
where the scale has secured a firm hold.
Once they are clean, give a spraying at
regular intervals to keep it in check.

Palms prefer a moist atmosphere,
although they will sometimes remain
in good health under dry conditioas.
Wetting the steam pipes to create
vapor is not to be recommended, but
the floors, the space below the pipes
and the surfaces of beds or benches
should be kept moist. In hot weather
the plants should have two syringings
overhead daily, and unless the weather
is dark and cold one syringing daily
can be given even in winter.

For scale on outside trees and shrubs,
use some such remedy as Scalecide,
Scaline, or one of the other soluble
oils used for this purpose. From No-
vember until the end of March is a
good time to do any of this spraying,
always selecting a clear, sunny day.

A VISIT TO KOKOMO, IND.

On invitation from the growers of
Kokomo, the State Florists' Associa-
tion of Indiana held its December meet-
ing in that city. At the Francis hotel
several automobiles were in waiting
and a tour of the greenhouses was at
once begun.

The first stop was at the Lincoln
Coles plant. Mr. Coles is one of the
younger generation of growers, a son
of W. W. Coles. He grew Beauties from
the beginning, and with splendid suc-
cess. Last summer, however, he con-
cluded that Beauties were not the right
crop for the grower who looks after
his place single-hau'ded, and so he
planted his entire space this year in
carnations. He is proving his versa-
tility by showing easily the best car-
nations in Kokomo. Mr. Coles thinks
well of Washington as a deep pink, and
Gloriosa on account of its fine pure pink
shade. White Wonder easily leads in
white.

The next stop was at the W. W.
Coles place, only a square away. The
plant is modern, both in appointments
and in growing methods. Several
houses of the Killarneys are giving
heavy cuts of high grade stock; some
in full crop, others just going off, and
still others coming on. Two large

Chrysaathemtim William Turner.

houses are given to Beauties, all going
well. But the nicest bench of roses on
the place is one of My Maryland, a
veritable thicket of growth and laden
with buds galore. The carnation range
looks good, but a few weak spots bring
the average a little below what we saw
at the range of the younger' Coles. Mr.
Coles has installed solid beds in one
.300-foot house of carnations and says
there will be no more raised benches
built in his place.

At Fred Kelly's there is the usual
varied assortment of bedding stock
needed in cemetery work. A fine bed
of early sweet peas took the visitors'
eyes. Violets are also given consid-
erable space, the singles being grown
exclusively. A batch of Dr. Engue-
hard mums showed the finest color we
have seen in that variety in several
years.

From here the autos took us to the
establishment owned by Thomas Knipe.
Mr. Knipe has a reputation for grow-
ing Bichmond roses. His Richmond
house, however, happened to be just a
little off crop. A bench of late mums
looked like good money, among others
a fine batch of old Yanoma. Grown as
it is here, this variety would prove in-
valuable to any grower.

Next we visited W. A. Hitler's place,
situated on one of the fashionable
streets of the city. A high-class retail
business is conducted and a great deal
more stock is handled than can be
grown on the place.

After having visited every establish-
ment in the city, the crowd, which had
grown to some thirty members, was
taken back to the Francis hotel, where
dinner was served, after which Presi-

dent Gause called the meeting to order.
Among those present were:

E. G. Hill, G. R. Gause and J. A.
Evans, Richmond; J. S. Stuart and J.
A. E. Haugh, Anderson; R. A. Me-
Keand, Marion; W. J. Vesey, Jr., Ft.

SPIRAIA aiiADSTONE IN POTS.

Will you kindly tell me how to treat
Spiraea Gladstone after the plants have
been potted? C. A.

After being potted, spiraeas should be
placed in a cool house and thoroughly
watered. Here they should remain un-
til they are to be started into growth.
A resting period of some length and a
gradual start are desirable, but, if some
early blooms are wanted, a part of the
plants may be given heat after they
have been in the pots a week, and the
others may be started as needed to se-
cure a succession.

After growth has been started, the
temperature may run anywhere from 55
to 65 degrees and even higher, accord-
ing to the extent of forcing, but should
not vary much for a given lot of plants.

BOSTON'S BIGGEST DECORATION.

The floral decorations at the Copley
Plaza hotel, Boston, December 4, briefly
referred to in The Eeview of December
5, were the most sumptuous ever seen
in Boston. James Farquhar, who car-
ried out this big undertaking, well
merited the plaudits he has since re-
ceived. He has certainly set a new
high water mark for floral decorations
which will not be easily passed, and
has proved himself an artist of the
front rank. The foyer above the great
ballroom was transformed into a beauti-
ful Italian garden. In the elliptical
alcoves Italian seats were placed. En-
circling the terrace were a dozen tall
white bases on. which rested statues
of the gods and goddesses of ancient
Bome. The terrace was hung with
moss baskets filled with white Lorraine
begonias, and the alcove entrances were
massed with Lorraine and Glory of Cin-
cinnati begonias, white and pink cycla-
mens, bouvardias and other flowering
plants. In a charmingly constructed
grotto was an electric fountain. Gold-
fish disported themselves in the waters.
At the baM the Godfrey calla, sarra-
cenias and femilar plants were growing.

At the bottom of the foyer steps,
where received the young lady for
whom the decorations were given, cat-
tleyas, oncidiums, phalsenopsis and other
orchids were freely used. The beautiful
pure white Buddleia Asiatica in large
pots was used with great effect near
both flights of steps and attracted no-
tice from everyone. B. officinalis also
was used, as were ericas, Trumpet Ma-
jor narcissi, Primula malacoides, palms,

ferns and other decorative plants in
thousands. Big cedars and arbor-vitSBS
partially hid the ballroom walls, and of
cut flowers many thousands of the
highest grade Beauties and other roses,
carnations, sweet peas, chrysanthemums
and longiflorum lilies were used. Many
truck loads of southern smilaz, Euony-
mus vegetus and kalmia were used. The
whole scheme was unique in the annals
of Boston floral decorations.

THE BIGGEST FLOBIST'S WAY.

The following letter on the business
stationery of a large New York depart-
ment store was printed in imitation of
typewriting, indicating that it must
have been sent out in considerable num-
bers, probably to undertakers. It ap-
pears to be the limit as a bid for busi-
ness— the agent encouraged to ask $10
for a design for which the florist re-
ceives $3.75:

"As there is a general demand in
connection with your line for floral
work in different designs, and as we
are the largest retailers of flowers in
the country, catering to more people

CABDS ON DESIGNS.

Should the cards be removed from
funeral offerings immediately upon their
delivery at the home of the deceased?
Would it not be better taste to remove
them just before leaving for the ceme-
tery? What is the customary practice
in the cities? B. E. M.

Caris should be removed from funeral
offerings immediately upon their arrival
at the home of the deceased. This is
the proper way of handling this matter.
Of course there are occasions when
this is not done, owing to a notion of
relatives or friends.

In the event of the death of a well
known person, where the funeral flow-
ers number dozens of pieces, the florist
who has been favored with the family
order often is requested to take care of
all the pieces as they arrive. The cards
are removed at once and each card
should have noted upon it the nature of
the offering; that is, "spray of roses, '^
' * wreath containing orchids, " " cross, ' ^
etc. The cards are then turned over
to some relative or friend and laid away
until letters of thanks can be mailed.

One reason for removing cards at
once is that they will not become lost.
Often they are insecurely fastened and
in the handling of the pieces are lost.
Then, again, if all the cards were left
on the pieces until just before leaving
for the cemetery some people would
stop to read every card out of mere
curiosity H. S.

AN OSHEOSH DECORATION.

Oshkosh, in Wisconsin, is a city of
close to 40,000 inhabitants and the pros-
perity and culture of its people make
it an excellent town for the flower busi-
ness. The accompanying illustration
shows a church decoration by Fugleberg
& Flister. As will be seen, the princi-
pal materials were wild smilax and
chr^anthemums. The ribbon with
which the mums were tied at the ends
of the pews was an important feature.

SWEET PEAS UNDER OIASS.

[An extract from a bulletin issued by the
Cornell Experiment Station, at Ithaca, N. Y.,
where the trial grounds of the American
Sweet Pea Society are Iqpated.]

Winter-flowering sweet peas grow six
to ten or more feet high, and if they
are to attain their full development a
house with this amount of head room is
required. They also need all the light
they can get, as the lighter the house,
the more blooms there will be. Low or
dark houses are not practicable.

Sweet peas may be grown on benches,
but solid beds are better, since the
plants require a deep, moist, cool soil.
The roots should be given an opportu-
nity to go down, by properly preparing
the soil two or three feet in depth.
With this depth of prepared soil it is
imperative that the beds have go£>d
drainage, for oversaturation is detri-
mental to the young plants and any ten-
dency to keep them in this state brings
on sourness, which is fatal to sweet
peas. Having the beds raised at least
one foot above the walks will assist in
keeping the soil uniformly sweet.

Preparing the Beds.

When planning to grow sweet peas
under glass in solid beds, the house
should be cleared as early as possible.
Trench the soil two feet deep. If the

Sweet Peas oiCW* Girtis, Iroodequoit,N.Y.

beds have been manured annually, the
bottom soil may be brought to the sur-
face. In new houses, in case the beds
are to be raised a foot, trench the soil
eighteen to twenty-four inches deep if
it is a good loam; if not, remove the
soil and fill the beds with good soil.
This gives an additional foot of loos-
ened soil when the bed is full, but it is
needed for additional drainage. In
turning this original soil in a new bed,
apply a heavy coat of good, decomposed
cow manure in the trench. Then spread
on top a 3-inch coat of manure and fill
in with the prepared soil. In the old
beds, put a 3-inch layer of manure in
the bottom of the trench and another
about a foot below the top. The soil
should remain thus until about the
time for sowing; if a month or more
intervenes, it is much better. At this
time fork over the top layer one foot
deep, which mixes the upper layer of
manure with the surface soil.

While good crops of sweet peas may
be grown on benches, yet they require
more care than when in beds. The
sweet pea is frequently grown as a crop
to succeed chrysanthemums, particular-
ly by those florists who do not devote
a great amount of space to pot plants.
In order to have flowers for Christmas,
the early chrysanthemums should be
cleared from the house by October 20
and the space filled with good sweet
pea plants transplanted from pots.

The Seed.

Only good, streng-germinating seed
should be used, and the best for the
purpose is the outdoor-grown stock of
this type. If the grower raises his own
seed for the earliest planting, that from
outdoor fall-sown plants is preferable;
otherwise it will always pay to pur-
*chase stock from the specialists who
produce seed under California condi-
tions. Seed procured near the end of
the season from exhausted greenhouse-
grown plants often germinates poorly
or produces weak plants. Sometimes,
even though the seedlings start ofif fair-
ly well, they later exhibit constitutional
weakness.

If the steam pipes are on the side
walls, plant the first row of seeds five
feet from them. If the rows run east
and west, plant the others five feet
apart; if the rows run north and south,
space them three feet apart. Make the
drills one or one and a half inch deep,
and drop the seeds one to one and a
half inch apart. Cover the depth of
the drill, and keep the surface level.

Sowing.

The winter-flowering varieties may
be sown in the beds or benches where
they ajre to stand, or they may be sown
in pots. The former method gives the
better results. A day or two before
planting, the beds should be thoroughly

saturated with water; William Sim, the
most extensive grower, advises a strong
dose of liquid manure instead. As soon
as the top has dried off so as to be in
a good, friable condition, plant the seed.
One large grower sows the seed in flats
or benches, in sand, transplanting the
seedlings as soon as the upper side root
is one-half inch long. Two plants are
placed in each 2V^-inch pot. These are
planted, four pots to one foot of row,
in the greenhouse. The varieties with
white seeds are best sown in sand; or,
as Mr. Zvolanek advises, soak the seeds
for ten hours in water, scatter in
flats, and allow to remain for two days
or until the seeds begin to swell. The
seeds may then be sown in moderately
dry soil in the same way as other varie-
ties. The white-seeded varieties, more
than any others, require careful atten-
tion in the watering.

Watering.

If the soil has been saturated before
planting, no more water should be ap-

Swe«t Peai of C. W. Curtis, IrondequoitJ^.Y.

plied for perhaps a week, or only when
the soil is no longer moist three inches
below the surface. When a thorough
watering is not applied first, and the
seed is sown and watered in, as a rule
not enough water is given to saturate
the soil deeply. The result is that the
plant confines its root area to this shal-
low liufist layer and does not root deefn
ly. It^lheref ore suffers from jjjglldmlUHj
and any lack of moisture is followed by
a check from which it never recovers.
On the other hand, if the preparatory
watering is given and water withheld
until there is need of it, the roots strike
downward into moist and cooler soil.

cow manure in the tremdi. Then s[)read
on top a 3-inch coat of manure and fill
in with the prepared soil. In the oil
beds, put a 3inch layer of manure in
the bottom of the trench .and another
about a foot below the top. The soil
should remain thus until about the
time for sowing; if a month or more
intervenes, it is much better. .Vt this
time fork over the top layer one foot
deep, which mixes the upper layer of
manure with the surface soil.

While good crops of sweet jx'as may
be grown on benches, yet they require
more care than when in beds. The
sweet pea is frequently grown as a crop
to succeed chrysanthemums, j^articular
ly by those llorists who do not devote
a great amount of space to ]iot plants.
Tn order to have flowers for ' hvistmas,
the early chrysanthemums should be
cleared from the house li>' '>ctol>er 2i^

The Seed.

good, Istroug-gerniinating seed
should be used, and the best for the
purpose is the outdoor-grown stock of
this type. If the grower raises his own
seed for the earliest planting, that from
outdoor fall-sown plants is jtreferable:
otherwise it will always jiay to pur
chase stock from the sjiecialists who
produce seed under California cnndi
tions. Seed procured near the end of
the season from exhausted greenhouse
grown plants often germinate^ poorly
or produces weak jdants. Sometinu^s,
even though the seedlings start otV fair
ly well, they later exhibit I'oiHtirut ional
weakness.

If the steam ]d]ies arc in\ th.' side
walls, plant the first row ot' M'cds five
f(>et from them. If the nnvs run east
and west, plant the others ti\f feet
ajiiirt: if the rows run north and -niith,
space them three feet apart. Make the
drills one or one and a half inch deep,
and drop the seeds one to one and a
half inch apart. Cover the ilepth of
the drill, and keep the surface level.

Sowing.

The winter-flowering varieties may
l)e sown in the beds or benches where
they are to stand, or they may be sown
in pots. The former method gives the
better rc-ults. .\ day or two before
planting, the beds should be thoroughly

saturated with water; William Sim, the
most extensive grower, advises a strong
dose of liquid manure instead. \s soon
as the top has dried o(f so as to be in
a good, friable condition, plant the seed.
One large grower sows the seed in flats
or benches, in sand, transplanting the
seedlings as soon as the ujjper side root
is one-half inch long. Two plants are
])laced in each 2',;jinch jiot. 'J'hese are
planted, four pots to one foot of row,
in the greenhouse. The varieties with
white seeds are best sown in sand; or,
as jMr. Zvolanek advises, soaic the seeds
for ten hours in water, scatter in
flats, and allow to remain for two days
or until the seeds begin to swell. The
seeds may then be sown in moderately
dry soil in the same way as other varie
ties. The white-seeded varieties, more
than any others, re((uire >'areful atten
tion in the watering.

Watering.

If the soil has been saturated before
planting, no more water should be ap

plied for perhaps .i week, or only when
the soil is no lon^i'r moist three inches
below the surface. When a thorough
watering is not ajiplied first, and the
seed is sown and watered in, as a rule
not enough water is given to saturate
the soil deeply. The result is that the
plant confines its root area to this shal-
low moist layer and does not root deep-
ly. It therefoii! sutlers from extremes,
and any lack of moisttire is followed by
a check from whi(di it ne\('r recovers.
On the other hand, if the preparatory
watering is given and water withheld
until there is need of it, the roots strike
downward into moist and cooler soil.

where they overcome, as far as possi-
ble, the effects of the hot days. The
sweet pea must be kept growing stead-
ily from the day the seed is sown. When
water is needed, do not apply near the
plants, but between the rows, where it
should be given liberally. This treat-
ment is especially important with the
early plantings. One reason why water
should not be applied too near the
plants is that they are especially sub-
ject to damping off. This trouble be-
comes more prevalent in October and
November, when there are more cloudy
days, cool nights, and like conditions.
Because of this, no soil should be heaped
around the stem.

Time to Sow.

When a good crop of sweet peas is
desired for Christmas, the seed should
be sown August 20. When sown Sep-
tember 1 the plants will flower in Jan-
uary; when sown September 15 the
main crop will be in February, and
when sown in October the crop will be
ready in March. November sowings
flower in the latter part of March; De-
cember sowings in April; .January sow--
ings in April and May; February sow-
ings from May 1 on, and a March sow-
ing in May or June. This gives the
time when a reasonable crop can be
expected, although flowers will be cut,
especially with certain varieties, in a
shorter interval than that given.

Some of the varieties in the tests
made here, at the Cornell Experiment
Station, sown October 20 and benched
December 20, gave flowers during the
last week in January, but not freely
until about March. Some sown Novem-
ber 20 and benched December 20 began
flowering in February and gave an
abundance in March. Seed sown in
beds September 24 this year gave flow-
ers on Thanksgiving day, although dur-
ing the whole month of November there
was not one clear day and there were
only two partly clear days.

Supports.

As soon as the peas are up, a support
must be furnished. This may consist
of string, wire and string, or wire net-
ting. When string is used it is stretched
lengthwise on each side of the row and
fastened to stakes on the purlin posts.
The wire-and-string support consists of
wires stretched over the row, one near
the ground and another eight to ten
feet above it; between these, string is
stretched lengthwise every ten inches,
and perpendicular strings connect the
top and bottom wires.

Wire netting is condemned by com-
mercial growers. They maintain that
the vines do not cling to it, so that just
as much tying is needed; and, besides,
more crooked stems occur than when
the vines are trained on string. At this
station, however, all the methods have
been tried and the wire netting has
been found preferable.

Temperature.

Keep the temperature in the early
stage as low as possible, giving full
ventilation, day and night, as late as
possible without freezing. The cooler

the plants can be kept while growing,
the stronger and healthier they will be.
In this way the natural outdoor spring
conditions are approximated.

When the flower buds can be felt in
the tips of the growing stems, the tem-
perature should be raised 1 degree a
night until 50 degrees is attained, which
is the proper temperature during De-
cember, January and February. From
about the end of February on, a night
temperature of 48 degrees is better. On
bri^t days a rise of 10 degrees or even
15 degrees may be given. On cloudy
days 55 degrees is high enough, for
higher temperatures promote soft, suc-

culent growth that wilts when the sun
comes out. Plenty of ventilation should
be provided at every opportunity, as
this, with careful regulation of tem-
perature, causes a firm growth.

Insects.

Sweet peas are especially subject to
attack by the red spider, but unless the
plants are too near heated pipes such
attacks do not often occur except in the
fall months. The careful use of water
after the plants have attained a height
of a few inches will eradicate this pest.

The common enemy of greenhouse
plants, the green fly, attacks sweet peas
from the time they appear above
ground. These insects can soon destroy
the young plants, as well as weaken the
plants at any stage. Fumigation should
be attended to carefully, the grower
choosing cool nights or performing the
work early in the morning, the chief
object being to clear the plants thor-
oughly by regular and persistent fumi-
gation so that they will not need fumi-
gating when in bloom, as the odor is
objectionable and injures the sale of
the flowers. Tobaoco also bleaches the
flowers of some varieties. In the spring,
when spraying plants with nicotine for
green fly or for thrips, use this insecti-
cide carefully, as sweet peas are sub-
ject to injury from it. A nicotine
preparation containing forty per cent
of the constituent nicotine, used at the
rate of two teaspoonfuls to each gallon
of water, will kill the thrips that are
hit by the spray.

Climbing cutworms and snails, if
present in greenhouses, will destroy
sweet peas. The former insects, which
attack also carnations, violets and
chrysanthemums under glass, are com-
bated by using compost that has not
been covered by a rank growth of weeds
and grass. When their work is noticed
a search should be made for the worms
under any mulch or lumps of earth on
the bench, where they are coiled upi
during the day. They may also be
picked from the plants at night while
feeding. The use of poisoned baits is
also recommended; among the best of
these is the bran-arsenic mash, made by
mixing one part white arsenic, one part
sugar and six parts bran, with sufficient
.water to form a mash. This may be
placed among the plants. Snails can be
controlled by the application of lime
and soot to the surface of the beds or
benches.

Diseases.

The damping-off fungus has already
been mentioned as causing the loss of

young plants. Sometimes plants are
seen with white-streaked or yellow-
streaked foliage. From experience at
this station it appears that such a con-
dition may follow the use of any soil
that is not sweet. An instance occurred
when a mold growing over the ashes of
a bench entered the bottom of some
pots of peas, causing the soil to become
stale and musty. All the plants where
this occurred showed streaked foliage
later. The disease is undoubtedly
physiological in its nature and is
thought by practical growers to occur
sometimes from the use of too much or
too fresh manure on young plants.

The dropping of flower buds is often
a cause of complaint from growers. The
first flower buds frequently do not set
on vigorous, thrifty plants. Usually
this condition soon disappears, but
sometimes it is necessary to keep the
plants a little dry and to abstain from
the use of fertilizers until the plants
are blooming freely. The loss of the
buds will follow a sudden fall in the
temperature or will result from over-
watering. Another cause is growing
the plants in too cool an atmosphere.
Plants that are grown in the proper
temperature, with careful attention to
watering, ventilation and feeding, do
not fail to give an abundance of flowers.

Mildew sometimes attacks sweet peas
during the autumn, unless the tempera-
ture and ventilation receive attention.
It has been found at this station that
mildew yields readily to applications of
sulphur to the pipes, and to the use of
flour of sulphur dusted on the infected
leaves. As soon as the fires are started
in the fall, some sulphiir should be ap-
plied to the pipes as a preventive. This
should be used judiciously, however, for
an interesting case came under observa-
tion at this station during the last win-
ter, of the danger of using sulphur too
strong. An application had been made,
and on a cold night the pipe covered
with the sulphur was turned on, the
result being that every flower which
was well advanced or open was scorched
so that most of the flowers had to be
thrown away. No injury to the plants
occurred.

FLOEIOULTUBE AT SAN DIEGO.

The San Diego exposition in 1915
promises to have no greater or more in-

teresting exhibit to the visitor than the
possibilities of all-the-year-around flori-
culture. Paul G. Thiene is superin-
tendent of nurseries and planting.
Thiene was born in Thueringen, Ger-
many, served a three years' apprentice-
ship in that country and came to the
United States in 1903.

The exposition site consists of 615
acres in the center of San Diego's
1,400-acre park, itself in the heart of
the city. All trees, shrubs and many
of the flowers planted by the exposition
forces will remain as permanent park
improvements.

The site chosen gives the landscape
architect an enormous range for play
of imagination. Plateau, slope, canyon,
valleys and lakes offer many sorts of
soils, altitudes and exposures. Dense
growths of flowering and evergreen
shrubs will mingle with the gray-green
of the native wild sage, buckwheat and
mesquite on the hillsides, forming a
background for glowing masses of
flowers.

The majority of trees and plants
being used on the grounds are grown in
the exposition 's own nurseries, cover-
ing more than 100 acres. The lath
houses alone, equipped with the most
improved overhead irrigation system,
cover more than four acres of ground.
Botanical gardens and the biggest lath
house ever erected will be a part of
the exposition exhibits. The illustra-
tion shows the transplanting of a palm
sixty-five feet high at the west entrance
to the exposition grounds.

FAB NORTHWEST.

Can you imagine a more delightful
situation than that shown in the ac-
companying illustration! It is the es-
tablishment of R. L. Warson, of Har-
per, Wash. The location is eleven
miles from Seattle and the water shown
in the picture is a branch of Admir-
alty Inlet, an arm extending inland
from Puget Sound, the same water on
which Seattle is located.

Mr. Warson 's establishment covers
108x192 feet. The houses run north
and south. Hot water is used for heat-
ing. The stack showing in the picture
is forty feet high, which gives one an
idea of the size of the conifers in the
background. The crops grown are

principally tomatoes alternating with
chrysanthemums, all finding their way
to the Seattle market.

NEW YORK FLORISTS' CLUB.

The meeting December 9 was a ban-
ner night for the New York Florists'
Club. The attendance was nearly 200
and there were felicitations and com-
radeship in abundance until the small
hours. After the first ballot for presi-
dent Wm. Duckham withdrew his name,
the vote then standing: W. Duckham,
37; H. A. Bunyard, 44; W. H. Sie-
brecht, 58. A majority being neces-
sary, another ballot resulted as follows:
Bunyard, 57; Siebrecht, 61. Mr. Bun-
yard, in a generous and eloquent ad-
dress, moved the vote unanimous, to
which Mr. Siebrecht gracefully and feel-
ingly responded, also assuring his best
efforts for the club's welfare in 1913.

The others elected, and the records,
were :

For vice-president — John Donaldson,
76; I. S. Hendrickson, 42; J. H. Fies-
ser, 19.

For secretary — John Young, 132.

For treasurer— W. C. Rickards, 76;
P. F. Kessler, 61.

Trustees, to serve two years — C. B.
Weathered, 85; W. F. Sheridan, 83;
John Miesem, 72, Traendly, Turner,
Boddington, Pierson, Froment, Horn-
ecker and Langjahr also receiving a
scattering vote.

The exhibits were superb. They in-
cluded: Northport carnations, accom-
panied by the silver cups won at Cleve-
land, by Jas. D. Cockcroft; Milady rose
in splendid condition, by A. N. Pierson;
Salmon Beauty carnation, by Traendly
& Schenck; pink poinsettias, by Julius
Roehrs Co. ; Mrs. Shawyer rose, by Chas.
H. Totty; a vase of pink roses, by Mr.
Brozat. The two latter were subjected
to the criticism of the award committee
for decision as to their distinctness or
similarity. The unanimous verdict was
that the two roses are distinct varieties.

livery of flowers on the steamships in-
dicates that if each florist, when send-

CINCINNATI.

The Gateway to the South.

Last week's business was good for
the first day or so. Then the supply,
owing to tne pleasant weather, grew
somewhat stronger, and the demand did
not increase proportionately. The re-
sult was a perceptible shading of prices
in most lines. Carnations alone held up
well in price and this was because of
the limited offerings. The receipts of
carnations are, however, mostly of a
high quality and the good ones merit
their price. The strongest demand is
for the colored varieties, but practically
all are sold out easily. Roses are splen-
did. The buds are generally well formed
and large, and the same is true of the
foliage, with a few exceptions. In
Beauties the supply and demand are

about equal. The good ones sell with-
out much trouble, while those of poorer
quality do not move quite so readily.
The supply of the other varieties is
adequate.

Some excellent lilies are coming into
the market. The chrysanthemums con-
sist mostly of Chadwick, Jones and
Nonin. The supply of violets is large
and they are meeting with a good call,
especially the singles. Sweet peas clean
up as fast as they arrive.

The wholesalers who handle Christ-
mas decorative material are kept ex-
ceedingly busy with this line these
days. The call for every article is good.
The arrivals of holly, boxwood and wild
smilax are of a high quality.

Club Banquet.

The banquet at the Burnet House
proved a most successful affair, both in
attendance and from an artistic point
of view. The talk by Richard Vincent,
Jr., president of the S. A. F., was highly
instructive and entertaining. Naturally,
his first words were for the S. A. F.,
a^d, judging from what he said, he is,
as every florist should be, for the S. A.
F. first, last and all the time. Then,
with the aid of the many pictures
which were shown on a screen, he took
us through the international flower
show in London, to several points of
interest in England, to the Dutch bulb
fields, and finally to his own home. The
last pictures showed the magnificence of
the dahlias on his place.

The Misses McNally and Weber en-
tertained with songs; so, also, did Frank
Volz. Miss Ida Peterson accompanied
Mr. Volz on the piano. Chas. H. Hoff-
meister, introduced by President Gus
Adrian, of the local society, acted as
toastmaster.

The affair speaks well for the efforts
of the committee, which consisted of A.
C. Heckman, Jr., Ray Murphy and Chas.
H. Hoffmeister. The writer wishes here
to state that the effort of his confreres
on the committee, the first two named,
were herculean, and the success of the
affair is a worthy reward for their
labors. Mrs. Vincent is accompanying
her husband on the trip.

FUNERAL WOBK IN TEXAS.

Robert C. Kerr, of Houston, Texas,
sent the photograph from which the
accompanying illustration was repro-
duced, with the statement that it is the
largest display of funeral flowers ever
seen in the state of Texas. Not only
was the number of designs exceptional,
but nearly all were large, there being
several the cost of which exceeded $100
each. Mr. Kerr estimates that the total
value of the designs shown in the pic-
ture was $2,500, the work being well
distributed among the Houston florists.

WASHINGTON.

The Market.

The week ending December 7 was
unusually busy and seemed like old
times. Most of the uptown houses had
all they possibly could handle and the
wholesalers did a land-office business.
The supply of red roses and orchids,
however, exceeded the demand and, al-
though the latter sold in dozen lots at
$6, they could be bought in larger quan- ^
titles at from $25 to $40 per hundred.
Carnations are coming in good quanti-
ties, although there are not enough to
supply the demand. This applies to all
varieties and colors, but the caU is
greatest for Enchantress. The shortage
of single violets has been complained
of, for never before has the supply
been so light at this season of the year.
Among the novelties to be seen are
lupines and snapdragons. Narcissi also
have made their appearance and in

Qiany instances are sold at the buyer's
price, the most obtained for them being
$2.50 per hundred in small lots. Chrys-
anthemums are about at an end. They
do not bring much in the way of price
and there are few good ones. White
sweet peas are plentiful, but are not
selling well. The supply of pink and
lavender is not quite so heavy and
meets with better results. Some extra
fine stevia of the dwarf type is to be
had and is bringing from $3 to $4 per
hundred sprays. As yet there is little
demand for poinsettias, although some
good stock is coming in. The asking
price is $2 and $3 per dozen. The near-
ness of Christmas is emphasized by the
quantities of potted plants to be seen in
the store windows. Lorraine begonias
and azaleas sold well last week. Cycla-
mens are also being showti at $9 to $12
per dozen wholesale.

days to complete and were done by
J. H. Small & Sons. Among the guests
were C. Albert Small, of New York,
and John Henry Small, of Washington.

The coming out tea of Miss Wilmer
was practically the first debutante
event of the season and if it is any
criterion the florists of the national cap-
ital will have a busy time of it the next
few weeks. This affair called for over
300 bouquets, and while" some of these
were telegraph orders and others ship-
ments from out-of-town florists, the ma-
jority of the business fell to the local
trade. The floral arrangements were in

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

Good business was the rule with all
dealers last week, several of them hav-
ing had their hands full of funeral and
decoration work. Kegarding the latter,
there have not been so many decora-
tions in several years as has been the
case so far this fall. The number of
functions on the cards is unusually
large, and several decorations of con-
siderable importance are promised.
Chrysanthemums are practically gone,
everybody cleaning up at Thanksgiving.
A few of the growers have late crops
coming on for Christmas, but the bulk
is over. Carnations were short last
week, but the closing days witnessed a
slight improvement. Boses and violets
are in good supply and of good quality.

Timothy O'Connor was especially
busy last week with a number of large
wedding and debutante decorations.

OBITUARY.

Francois Gruaz.

Francois Gruaz, one of the most prom-
inent florists and gardeners 'of New Or-
leans, died December 1, following an
illness of several weeks.

Mr. Gruaz came to this country about
thirty years ago, following a thorough
schooling in horticulture in France,
Germany and his home, Switzerland.
Since his arrival in America he has
been a citizen of New Orleans. Due
to his knowledge of horticulture are
a number of the most beautiful gardens
in the city, and many of the younger
members of the trade have had their
training under him.

The deceased was born in Pompiny,
Cantivaud, Switzerland, in 1857, and
following a short schooling in that
country he was entered as an appren-
tice to a florist. At the age of 15 he
left his home and went to France,
where he again entered himself as an
apprentice to a horticulturist. Five
years later, when but a young man, he
took up the study of horticulture in the
gardens of Germany, where he spent
five more years.

He was joined by his family from
Switzerland, and all sailed for New
Orleans, but due to the boat springing
a leak they were forced to put in at
New York. There he remained for a
space of ten days, and then continued
to New Orleans, where he established
himself in the florists' business.

In 1898 he married Miss Elizabeth
Williamson. He is survived by his
wife, who has been estranged for the
past four years, and Miss Justine
Gruaz, his sister, and three nieces. The
funeral services took place from the
family residence December 2 and were
largely attended.

Maurice Doyle.

After a month's illness, Maurice
Doyle, aged 36, a florist of Springfield,
O., died of pneumonia November 30,
at the residence of his uncle, John
Doyle, corner Home road and North
Limestone street. The funeral was held
at St. Raphael church and the burial
was in Lagonda cemetery.

Anna M. Schultz.

In the death of Mrs. Anna Maria
Schultz, December 2, Washington lost
one of its oldest florists. Mrs. Schultz
was born in Stettin, Germany, seventy-
three years ago. With her husband she
operated greenhouses on D street, be-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets, be-
fore that thoroughfare was picked out
to become one of the busiest streets of
the city. With the opening of the shed
on the site of the present Center Mar-
ket, they obtained a flower stand and,
all told, Mrs. Schultz has been a fa-
miliar figure in the trade for over half
a century. The death of a son, which
occurred two weeks ago in Philadel-
phia, is believed to have hastened her
death. She was at the market stand on
the previous Saturday, but complained
of not feeling well. By the terms of
her will, which has been entered for
probate, various bequests are made to
her children and grandchildren, and

after these are made the balance of the
estate goes to her son, Frank E. Schultz,
who will continue the business.

John Martin.

John Martin, one of the oldest and
most esteemed residents of Woon-
socket, E. I., died December 4, at his
home, 107 Spring street. Though he
had been ailing for several years, he
was confined to his bed but a few days.
He was born in County Leitrim, Ire-
land, eighty years ago and came to this
country when a young man. After a
short residence in Nantucket, Mass.,
he moved to Woonsocket, where he
lived the remainder of his life. For
more than a quarter of a century he
was employed as gardener in charge of
the greenhouses owned by the late Ed-
ward Harris. Mr. Martin is survived
by a son and a daughter.

Patrick McDonnell.

Patrick McDonnell, one of the best
known carnation growers in the vicin-
ity of San Francisco, Cal., died at his
home in Oakland, Cal., November 30.
He had been ill with pneumonia for
several weeks, but his demise was unex-
pected. He was a native of Ireland and
was 54 years of age. He came to
America when a boy. He was a highly
successful grower, and before engaging
in this department he had been a land-
scape gardener for many years. H^e is
survived by a widow and four young
children. He was a successful busi-
ness man and possessed much profitable
business property in the neighborhood
of his home. He was also a director of
the Telegraph Avenue Bank of Oak-
land. He was buried December 2, in
St. Mary's cemetery, and the obsequies
were attended by over 100 of the gar-
dening and florists' fraternity.

Mrs. Gteorge Bauman.

Mrs. George Bauman, of Columbus,
O., died November 25, after a lingering
illness with paralysis. She had been in
bad health for nearly three years, but
her family and friends were in hopes
she would recover. She had lived a
useful and active life, a woman who
numbered every acquaintance as her
friend, beloved by a wide circle. The
funeral took place on the afternoon of
November 27 and was largely attended,
but a great many of the florists were
unable to be present on account of
Thanksgiving being the next day. Mr.
Bauman is florist and gardener to Rob-
ert Jeffrey, having taken the position
shortly before his wife's death, so as
to be more at home. He gave up the
fern business in the Hocking valley.

Francis Fillmore.

Francis Fillmore, father of F. J.
.Fillmore, St. Louis, died December 6 at
St. Mary's hospital, from the effects
of an accident of a week before, when
he broke his leg. The funeral took
place December 9, interment being at
St. Matthew's cemetery. A large circle
of florists attended, to express their
sympathy for the bereaved family.

Mr. Fillmore was born at Wimbledon,
England, May 26, 1825. He left for
America April 6, 1870, locating at To-
peka, Kan. Six months later his wife
and seven children joined him at Law-
rence, Kan., where he engaged in veg-
etable gardening. In 1873 he went to
St. Louis, working for landscape gar-
deners. Later on he entered, with his
sons, into vegetable gardening and con-
tinued for several years, until his

younger son died. He then went to
work in Tower Grove park and was
there for about eighteen years. He
was hale, hearty and his memory clear
until he met with the accident, which,
coupled with his old age, caused his
death. He leaves a son, four daugh-
ters, fifteen grandchildren and twenty-
one great-grandchildren.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market.

Trade was fair last week, but stock
is somewhat scarce. Mums are about
gone, the carnation crop is off and
there is hardly enough stock to go
around. Koses are in fair supply, some
first-class stock being shipped in. Beau-
ties are obtainable, but are command-
ing a good price. Paper Whites and
Romans are making their appearance.
Orchids, valley and violets are moving
nicely.

Various Notes.

The monthly meeting of the State
Florists' Association was held in Ko-
komo, with about thirty members in at-
tendance. Considerable business was
transacted. An invitation from E. T.
Barnes, of Spencer, to meet there in
the near future was accepted. A reso-
lution came before the meeting for the
association to hold only four meetings
a year, in January, April, July and
November. This will be voted on at
the next meeting. A committee com-
posed of Albert Marshall, Herman
.lunge and Adolph Baur was appointed
to audit the books of the secretary and
treasurer. Homer Wiegand, L. Elder,
H. Schilling and Oliver Steinkamp were
named to provide the entertainment
for the annual meeting, which is to be
held the second Tuesday in January.
New members were elected as follows:
Robert McKeand, of Marion; W. A.
Bitler, of Kokomo; W. J. Vesey, Jr.,
of Ft. Wayne; John Grande, Jr., Henry
Hack, Morris Marer, of Indianapolis;
W. D. Leatherman, of Anderson; M. C.
Smith, of Marion; and Osa Coryell, of
Richmond. W. J. & M. S. Vesey ex-
hibited several vases of My Maryland
and Killarney roses and poinsettias,
samples of the stock that they are pro-
ducing.

Frank Farney, with M. Rice & Co.,
and Martin Reukauf, with H. Bayers-
dorfer & Co., called on the trade here
last week.

Raymond Kester, with the Hill-Heller
Co., spent a few days in Chicago last
week. The new store is doing an ex-
cellent business.

George Wiegand is contemplating a
trip to Florida after the first of the
year.

The Roepke-Rieman Co. has a fine lot
of cyclamens for Christmas.

The Wiegands are all smiles — the
street cars are again running on the
North Illinois street line, after four
months of idleness. The street has
been torn up since the first part of Sep-
tember.

Adolph Baur, secretary of the Amer-
ican Carnation Societv, is busy getting
out the premium list for the April show.
Mr. Baur states that any one desiring
space should get busy, as he expected
to send it to press about December 20.

Baur & Steinkamp have a new red
carnation which they intend to market
next year. Mr. Baur thinks this one
superior to St. Nicholas. H. L. W.

prietor of the Central Greenhouses, in
this city, has purchased the property of

ler, the former owner of the Clyde busi-
ness, will conduct the business for Mr.

''jiner. " A recent issue of a Chicago
daily newspaper contained a portrait
of Mr. Bauscher, with the statement
that he is a member of forty-four lodges

record in that line. The newspaper
ijives a list of the organizations to
which ho belongs, beginning, as is
proper, with the Society of American
Florists.

just completed the remodeling and en-
largement of their greenhouses. The

charge of the uptown store, in the Foye
block on West Center street.

for the last two years connected with

lawsuit brought by Allan S. Myers
against the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.
to recover $45,000 damages for smoke,
soot and grease showered upon the
glass of his greenhouses by locomotives

against him, principally because, as
Pittsburgh and Harrisburg florists testi-
fied, the glass could have been cleaned
with soap and water.

Besults bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

This Christmas will be even redder
than its predecessors.

Gabnations are off crop almost every-
where and have been selling exceptionally
weU since the chrysanthemums took the
back track for the season.

Five double-page spreads in The Re-
view again this week. These big, im-
pressive ads are, as the saying goes, be-
coming "deservedly popular."

Early Christmas business in the de-
partment stores through the country is
said to have been disappointing. But
there is every indication that a record
cut flower and plant trade will be done —
in three days, as usual.

Within seven days The Review re-
ceived over 100 photographs with re-
quests for prompt publication. The im-
possibility of using all is apparent and
that preference be given to those sup-
posed to be exclusive is no more than
natural.

Get your Christmas orders off without
further delay. Review advertisers are
working nights to fill orders and the rush
is increasing as we near the holiday.
The old rule of ' ' first come, first served ' '
must be applied at all times and those
who delay run a chance of being dis-
appointed.

There is a common fallacy among pub-
lishers; they strive to print matter as
nearly like as possible to what is printed
by the leader in the field. It is a mis-
take. With two papers more or less alike,
few people care to subscribe to more than
one of them; whereas, with two papers
quite distinct, everybody will want to
read both. Nothing so much gives the
appearance of similarity as duplicated
illustrations.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

With the exception of roses, the mar-
ket is facing an anusual shortage of
flowers. For the last week the whole-
salers have found it hard to keep pace
with the demands for carnations. The
general prediction ..ow is that carna-
tions will not be anywhere near so
plentiful as was expected, for grow-
ers as a rule report that their crops
are making slow progress and only a
few will be able to make cuts of any
quantity by Christmas. Since the month
opened the cuts have been light and
many are at a loss to show a reason
for the shortage. A change in weathei
has given rise to the hope that th«
carnations will make growth mor
rapidly. Cold, clear weather succeede
a stretch of warm, rainy days that wei
anything but ideal from the view ox
the growers. While the brisk atmos-
phere is toning up the stock, the sun-
shine will improve the color. Killarney
especially has suffered in color during
the spell of dark, cloudy skies.

Killarneys as well as Beauties are
being cut in good quantities, but hardly
more than enough to go around. The
lack of carnations has made it neces-
sary for the retailers to use roses, and

thus the market is kept well cleaned
up without any reduction in prices.
Killarneys are fine, except that they are
a little weak on color, and Beauties are
holding up well, the long-stemmed ones
being cut in much larger quantities
than the medium lengths. Short Beau-
ties continue scarce, and not enough
can be had to fill orders. Richmonds
are showing good quality and the indi-
cations are that this variety will be
in big supply in another week. Aaron
Wards, Melody and Sunburst appear to
be oflF crop at the present and not
enough of these are to be had to satisfy
the demand. Even the shortest are
bringing fair prices.

Violets are becoming even more
plentiful than at any previous date.
Both local and eastern shipments are
on the increase as the demand grows
stronger. Some houses are. still getting
in shipments of late mums, but many
of these are lacking in quality. Buy-
ers are ready to bid a good price for
anything that approaches the best grade.
Sweet peas are more in evidence, espe-
cially pink. The quality of some of the
peas is excellent and they are selling
well. Bouvardia has made its appear-
ance in considerable quantity and is of
fine quality. Paper Whites, mignonette
and daisies are also to be had, while
lilies and valley are not overabundant
but are to be had to fill all calls. Stevia
is in heavy supply. Cattleyas are sell-
ing well and, while the supply is not
large, there appears to be stock for
everyone who wants them at the price.
There is an abundance of the small-
flowered cattleyas and the miscellaneous
orchids. Poinsettias are here in quan-
tity earlier than usual.

Greens of all kinds, includinir holly,
lycopodium, red berries and the other
holiday specialties, are on hand in ever-
increasing shipments.

Christmas Prospects.

Unless this note serves its purpose,
there may be a shortage of roses for
Christmas and an oversupply of car-
nations in the later stages of the holi-
day rush. Practically everywhere it is
said that roses will be in first-class
crop, but that there will be small cuts
of carnations, few growers being in
full crop. Time after time when there
has been such a unanimous sizing up
of the situation exactly the reverse of
what has been expected has been the

wholesalers will be afraid to take orders

For Christmas we shall have a fine lot of Roses to offer, including the
much called for Richmonds, Beauties, Pink Killarney, White Killarney,
Bulgarie, Maryland, besides Mrs. Jardine and Aaron Ward.

Our carnations are the best on this market, including such varieties as
Victory, Enchantress, Aristocrat, Afterglow, Winsor and White Perfection.
We anticipate a shortage in the Carnation line and as such we will endeavor
to fill carnation orders to the best of our ability.

A large supply of our famous Blue Ribbon Valley, the leader of all
Chicago brands; also Sweet Peas, Single and Double Violets, Harrisii, Nar-
cissus, Stevia, Asparagus, Greens, and all other seasonable stock.

We desire that you place your orders early. Don't wait until the last
minute only to learn that stock is well ordered up.

Owing to lack of time during holidays, orders from new customers should
contain suitable references, for should your name not be rated in the agencies,
shipments will be sent C. O. D.

Store open from 7.30 a. m. until 6 p. m., closing Sundaj's and holidays

Apparently everything except carna-
tions is to be plentiful this Christmas.
Fine supplies of Beauties are promised
and there will be the usual r, jantity of
poinsettias, and they should all be
ready on time this year, for with most
growers they are earlier than usual.
Cattleyas will not be in large supply,
but of all the miscellaneous flowers
there will be more than ever, including
Tiolets, of which this market can get
any quantity wanted.

Club Meeting.

The Chicago Florists' Club held its
annual election of officers at the Hotel
Sherman December 5, the balloting re-
sulting as follows:

President — Guy French.

Vice-president — A. Henderson.

Secretary — Wilder Deamud.

Treasurer — E. F. Winterson.

Trustee — H. N. Brurs.

A laugh was created when the secre
tary read letters from all three of the

nominees for vice-president, each with-
drawing in favor of the others.

Besignations of membership were re-
ceived from H. Luedtke, Geo. Fischer,
Joseph Schillo, John P. Eisch and An-
drew McAdams.

Treasurer Winterson reported, as of
December 1, $272.75 in the general fund
and $639.39 on certificate of deposit;
total, $912.14. The secretary reported
receipts of dues amounting to $26'3
since last meeting. All outstanding
bills were ordered paid.

OflBcial notice was received from the
Chrysanthemum Society of America, of
the acceptance of the club's invitation
to hold the annual convention and ex-
hibition in Chicago in November, 1913.

A certificate of merit was given
Wendland & Keimel for an exhibit of
the new red rose, Milady, cut from
plants under trial at Elmhurst.

Among the visitors present were Eich-
ard Vincent, Jr., White Marsh, Md.,
president of the S. A. F.; E. G. Hill,
Richmond, Ind., and Raymond Kester,
farmerly with Pennock Bros., Philadel-
phia, and now in charge of the beauti-
ful new retail store of the Hill-Heller
Co., Indianapolis. Following the ad-
journment of the business meeting the
club repaired to a nearby moving pic-

Various Notes.

J. H. McNeilly, the Woodlawn caterer-
florist, was summoned to appear before
Chief Factory Inspector Edgar T.
Davies this week and explain an al-
leged violation of the child labor law.

George C. Hartung, in Kensington,
says he had a good business in bloom-
ing plants at Thanksgiving, with cut
flower sales slow.

K. N. Cooper, manager of the Au-
burndale Goldfish Co., has returned
from a trip east and says goldfish are
becoming decidedly popular as a side
line for florists. The force is working
nights to keep up with orders.

The Raedlein Basket Co. reports that
apparently baskets are being more
generally used this season than in the
past, as it is taxing them to the limit
to fill orders.

Material for seven houses will be
shipped during January to C. A. Ben-
son, Denver, Colo., by the A. Dietsch
Co.

J. P. Sinner is rapidly recovering
from the case of blood poisoning which
cost him the fingers of his right hand,
and is able to be about again. As soon
as practical he will again take full
charge of the growing end of Sinner
Bros., leaving his brother, John Sinner,
free to take care of the downtown mar-
ket store.

M. C. Gunterberg is displaying a
bandaged hand as a result of having it
caught in the safe as the door was
being closed. The thumb was badly
crushed, but nevertheless it fails to in-
terrupt her attention to business duties.
She is looking for a record-breaking
Christmas trade.

There was a celebration, December
11, at the home of Ernst Weiss, Elm-
hurst, the occasion being the birthday
anniversary of that proficient carna-
tion grower. Many in the trade were
present.

Keimel said they have only six plants
on trial, but have thus far cut thirteen
blooms per plant, only nine of the
flowers having under 14-inch stems. The
plants are now full of buds.

C. G. Anderson, who has charge of
the plant department of Poehlmann
Bros. Co., says orders for Christmas
stock began to come in heavily last
week and shipping is now progressing
rapidly. Chicago delivery is made by
the autos of the Niles Center express,
but a truck probably will soon be pur-
chased.

old McAdams stand. Mr. LaGrotta
was with Andrew McAdams for twenty-

two years and succeeded to the busi-
ness October 1, buying out his employer.
It is understood that Andrew McAdams
leaves shortly to spend the winter at
Melbourne, Fla. Miss Mae McAdams is

University of Illinois.

Michael Winandy and his sons have
purchased five houses at Kosehill from
Otto Hedrick and will rebuild them for
vegetable growing. The work of pull-
ing down the old houses will begin at
once and by spring it is hoped that the
new ones, totaling about 45,000 square
feet of glass, will be ready for planting.
The houses will be under the direction
of Mi^chael Winandy, who will retire
from the active construction work of
the firm of the M. Winandy Co., after
thirty-five years of work in that line.
The patents and control of the con-
struction business are to be given over
to the sons, who will carry it on as
before.

a party of at least 100 is expected to
be the guests of the management on a
visit to the greenhouses of the Chicago
Carnation Co., Joliet. Everyone is be-
ing invited.

F. W. Hoerber, who has charge of tho
Des Plaines greenhouse establishment
belonging to Hoerber Bros., paid a visit
to the market store last week and re-
ports that crops are in excellent con-
dition, the carnations and roses never
in better shape for Christmas.

Those red winter or Christmas ber-
ries are in demand stronger than ever,
according to Erne & Klingel, who say
they have had to double their order
twice in ten days.

.Tohn Kruchten says the last year has

added considerably to the glass repre-
sented by his growers, many of whom
have made additions, and as a result
Mr. Kruchten estimates that his sup-
ply of roses will be twenty-five per
cent larger than last Christmas.

C. L. Washburn, of Bassett & Wash-
burn, acted as host to E. G. Hill, of
Eichmond, Ind., December 4. Mr. Hill
spent the entire day looking over the
roses at Hinsdale and complimented his
host on the appearance of his Mrs.

T. B. Gray, of the Geo. M. Garland
Co., Des Plaines, 111., made a successful
trip to Grand Eapids, Mich., last week.

Arthur Ernest Hunt, son of Fred G.
Hunt, leaves in a few days for San
Diego, Cal., to spend the winter. Dur-
ing the summer he has been selling in
the market at 82 to 86 East Eandolph
street.

After going through the Peter Eein-
berg rose houses December 7, Tim

Matchen feels assured they will be able
to break the record for Christmas sales.

C. W. McKellar says December thus

he looks for a big holiday rush.

biggest Christmas this market ever haf
seen, followed by a busy winter.

will play a vitally important part in getting your flowers into
your customers' hands and getting their money into your cash
drawer. Hundreds of florists have found this out to their
steadily growing profit. They've found that in addition to
saving them big money, the McCray has boomed business
with a rush— by keeping the flowers in the beauty and fresh-
ness of perfect condition— and by displaying them with the
very limit of attractiveness.

of useful information which you should have whether you're in
the market now or not.

Alexander McConnell of New York City, whose refrigerator [is
shown in the cut, writes us as follows :

"The refrigerator you Installed In our place of business has been very satisfac-
tory In every particular. The flowers retain their freshness and color. The
refrigerator Is ventilated In so satisfactory a manner that the glass Is never
covered with moisture; consequently the stock can be Inspected without
opening the doors. The box Is also economical In its requirement of Ice."

RED ROSES for CHRISTMAS

Red is the desired color, and you will need Eed Boses. We expect to have a
large supply of Richmond, but if sufficient to meet the demand, we cannot say. We
advise early ordering.

The quality of our Richmond will be fine. From the present condition of the plants,

the stock will be even better than last year.

PHIIiADELPHIA.

The Rising Eastern Market.

The second w^eek of the social season
has been a busy one for everybody.
The supply of flowers has not exceeded
the demand. Prices advanced slightly
in some instances; in others they were
firmer. The rose has superseded the
chrysanthemum. Roses are in fair
rather than in heavy crop; the princi-
pal shortage is in the lower grades,
those bringing from $4 to $5 per hun-
dred. A feature of the rose market
is the success that has so far attended
the introduction of the yellow varie-
ties. The retailers in previous seasons
were timid about selling yellow roses
because they were so hard to procure.
With Sunburst, Lady Hillingdon, Mel-
ody and Mrs. Aaron Ward growing on
half a dozen places, yellow has been
pushed in earnest, with the result
that they are selling at higher prices
than the same grades of pink and
white. Violets have fallen back a trifle
since the brilliant close of last month,
but they have had some good days
lately. Carnations continue surprisingly
scarce. The fancy grade has advanced
another point, with plenty of buyers
ready to replace those who object. The
demand for valley has lessened enough
to balance more evenly than for the
last fortnight. Cattleyas and garde-
nias are in brisk request. Callas, bou-
vardia and mignonette are increasing in
quantity. White lilac has become a
staple flower. Paper Whites, Romans
and stevia are not much sought, al-
though the former advanced in price
in sympathy with the market.

Boxwood sprays have sold so well,
both in and out of town, that the stoclf..
is much diminished. Lycopodium is
moving briskly, one house alone ship-
ping three and one-half tons of this
green last week. There is some fine
holly on the market. Wild smilaz is
active.

Indications for Christmas.

The prospects for the holidays are
that cut flowers will be plentiful, that
much of the stock will be of fine qual-
ity, and that prices will be moderate.
This applies to the staple flowers; some
of the novelties and possibly a few
other varieties are expected to be ex-
ceptions.

Christmas Plants.

The difficulty of successfully conduct-
ing a retail flower store at Christmas
has always troubled even the brightest
minds in our profession. The fact that

the largest quantity of cut flowers
required at the most unfavorable peri(
of the whole year for production, is t
keynote of the difficulty. Improved \
rieties and improved culture have doiix-
much to improve the situation, but
the real solution lies in Christmas
plants. These may be divided into
two classes, flowering and foliage. The
flowering class, by far the more im-
portant of the two, consists chiefly
of three or four varieties. The foliage
class for Christmas use . comprises all
those varieties that have bright or
variegated leaves, with the addition of
ferns and a few palms. There is also

a small but important class of berried
plants.

The requisites of the Christmas flow-
ering plant are brightness and a rea-
sonable degree of durability. Red is,
of course, the Christmas color, but
bright pink will do. The advantage
of the Christmas plant is that it can
be sold from sample at a known price
with certainty of delivery; this is not

true of cut flowers. So hearty has been
the welcome given to Christmas plants
by the retailers all over the country
that today there are places that de-
vote almost their entire space to their
production, reserving only enough to
hold the stock for Easter and spring.
The poinsettia, with its cheerful red
bracts, gives us the ideal Christmas
color at a price that brings it within

reach of everyone. There were diffi-
culties in the culture of the poinsettia
to be overcome. It did not root easily
and it dropped its leaves. Culture has
overcome both defects. This season
the Eobert Craig Co., Philadelphia,
largest grower of poinsettias, has
doubled its output. The poinsettia is
popular made up in pans edged with
small ferns or with asparagus.

The begonia shows an important
change this season: Cincinnati is push-
ing forward in the medium and larger
sizes, while Lorraine and Norwood
lead in the basket sizes and in 5-inch.
The beauty, grace and freedom of
bloom of the begonia have won for it
a host of friends. The cyclamen when
well grown is the most satisfactory of
the Christmas blooming plants as a
gift. To quote from Eobert A. Craig,
"There are no mites." When the
plants are perfectly grown in a cool
temperature and miteless they are
ideal.

The azalea is not a Christmas plant;
it never was and it probably never will
be, but the azalea is so perfect that, if
you must have one for Christmas, by
all means let it be Mme. Patrick. Dun-
can Macaw was standing before the
most perfect bench of Mme. Petrick,
well budded (that is usually the trouble
at Christmas), with the flowers just
opening, showing the size and color.
Such azaleas merit a place on the
Christmas list, but such azaleas are
rare.

The Christmas foliage plants include
crotons, dracsenas, Pandanus Veitchii
and a few more. The crotons have be-
come so important that they can be
had in named varieties in quantity, a
thing impossible a few years ago. This
gives opportunity for color combina-
tion. The bronze green foliage of Mrs.
Sander, for instance, is striking with
Adiantum hybridum. Crotons of
Christmas red are highly prized. As a
basket plant the croton has a large
field. Dracaena terminalis when well
grown has Christmas red tops, indica-
tive of culture; it is the leading
dracaena. Lord Wolseley has grace;
it is a variety that promises well. Then
there are two or three other sorts that
are being grown in quantities in antici-
pation of demand. Massangeana, with
its drooping variegated leaves, has won-
derful stamina. The clear green and
white of Pandanus Veitchii gives it a
place in basket work, where its grace
shows well.

Every variety of nephrolepis, of
adiantum, or of asparagus, that is grown
for everyday use, is useful at Christ-
mas; the chief point is that the plants

nations, with the idea of suggesting the
possibilities in this direction. One-half

The berried plants include ardisias
and solanums. The ardisias are the

The Market.

Tho cliill of winter was felt Decem-
ber 8 and an old-fashioned blizzard was
predicted. After all, it is better for
tho cut flower market that the weather
should be seasonable. Already the
Christmas trees are here, and the manu-
facture of roping and holly wreaths is
in full swing. On every side are the
premonitions of the gala season.

The market for cut flowers has taken
the usual course between Thanksgiving
and Christmas, and slumped twenty-five
per cent from the quotations of a week
ago. There is no surplus that the mar-
ket cannot digest and everything indi-
cates a healthful tone and an abundant
supply for all demands until the holi-
days. This week the Christmas shop-
ping begins, and dullness in the cut
flower trade is inevitable.

There are plenty of American Beau-
ties, grand stock, and holding firm at
35 cents each for the selected. Mrs.
Russell, Mrs. Shawyer and occasionally
Sunburst command as high a valuation.
Taft, Ward and Chatenay sell rapidly
and all the old varieties now are at
their best. Of the Killarneys there is
no limit. The general demand for these
calls for the No. 1 and No. 2 grades.

Various Notes.

The gardeners' reunion last week,
under the management of Jack Everett,
of Glen Cove, proved a big success.
Nearly 100 of the leading gardeners
of the east were present, all the socie-
ties around New York being well repre-
sented.- Allen Morrison was the only
member from Westbury, L. I. The ban-
quet was at 8 p. m. and here the bowl-
ing prizes were awarded. It was de-
cided to have another reunion in 1913,
with James Stuart, of Mamaroneck, as

manager. Arthur Herringtou acted as
toastmaster. The National Flower Show
was the general theme of the addresses.
The speakers were Messrs. Totty, Duck-
ham, Weathered, Johnston, Ebel, Mc-
Kenzie, Waite and Ortez. Mr. Ortez,
who is vice-president of the Farmers'
Congress, invited the National Associa-
tion of Gardeners to cooperate with

session in Albany the latter part of
January.

The annual meeting of the New York
and New Jersey Association of Plant
Growers was held December 3, at
Kalil's. After the usual banquet the
society decided to give two cash prizes
of $25 each for the National Flower
Show, one for the best bed of fifty
geraniums, and the other for the best
bed of plants, exclusive of geraniums.
A request was sent the publicity com-
mittee of the Florists' Club that atten-
tion be directed to plants as well as cut
flowers for the special days the com-
mittee is featuring. The following offi-
cers were elected: President, Louis
Dupuy, Whitestone, L. I.; vice-presi-
dent, John H. Fiesser, North Bergen,
N. J.; treasurer, Hermann C. Steinhoff,
West Hoboken, N. J.; secretary, Wm.
H. Siebrecht, Jr., New York; directors,
Alfred L. Zeller, Brooklyn; Julius
Roehrs, Rutherford, N. J., and H. Bau-
mann, West Hoboken, N. J.

The annual banquet and dance of the
New Jersey Floricultural Society will
be held in East Orange, January 15.

John A. Foley, manager for Lecakes
& Co., has just added to his express
facilities an auto truck costing $3,500.
His success in this department of his
work has been phenomenal.

James McManus has moved to 105
West Twenty-eighth street, where he
will have increased space. This com-
pletes the quintette of stores erected
by John D. Nicholas, all the equals of
any wholesale cut flower store in the
city and now occupied by Mr. Mc-
Manus, Wm. Ford, Siebrecht & Sie-
brecht, the Growers' Cut Flower Co.
and Wm. Kessler.

Woodrow & Marketos will have a
branch store for the holiday on Sixth
avenue, between Twenty-seventh and
Twenty-eighth streets, handling plants
of all varieties.

Many fine specimen evergreens adorn
the front of the store of Young & Nu-
gent and already a Christmas aspect is
presented.

M. A. Bowe will have a branch store
as usual, for Christmas. His location
close' to the Waldorf-Astoria is one of
the best in the city, the new Vanderbilt
hotel being only a block away.

The blooming plant supply for Christ-
mas, at College Point, Flatbush, Jersey
and on Long Island, is superb this sea-
son. No grower is short, but apparently
every plant of value will be disposed of.

The Bedford Floral Co., at Bedford
Hills, has its artesian wells and high
chimney completed and Moore, Hentz
& Nash say everything on the big plant
is moving satisfactorily.

Mrs. Kessler is in charge of Wm.
Kessler 's oflSce during the holiday
season.

Geo. Cotsonas & Co. are occupying a
branch store at 45 West Twenty-eighth
street during the holiday season.

L. B. Coddington was in the city last
week, the guest of H. E. Froment.

Paul Meeoni and Miss Frieda Behrend,
his bookkeeper, who will wed December
14, will enjoy their honeymoon trip
after the busy holiday season is over.

Phil Kessler, in the Coogan building,
has fitted up a new office.

Charles Millang is celebrating his
twenty-eighth anniversary in the busi-
ness.

A. J. Guttman, Inc., has received a
rather unique Christmas present from
the landlord — a reduction of one-third
in the rental of the fioor. Mr. Guttman

satisfactory. Chrysanthemums still

when you pay for heavy wood and poor quality.

We stand by every pound we ship; you take no risk on our

Eussell is wanted by everyone and only
a small part of the orders can be filled.
Richmond is now arriving of superb
quality, some having 4-foot to 6-foot
stems. Both Killarney Queen and
Double White Killarney are of excellent
quality, though growers are doubting if
they will prove as profitable in winter
as the older sorts. Hillingdon, Sun-
burst, Taft and Ward are all selling
well, but at lower rates. Carnations are
mostly going at $2 to $3 per hundred,
with fancies at $4 and some special
grades at $5. Violets are not over-
plentiful and the bulk hold up to the
dollar mark.

Valley has sold well, and for Lilium
longiflorum the call has been unusually
good. Paper Whites are abundant. A
small number of Trumpet Majors are
seen and freesias made their appearance
this week. Snapdragons are more plenti-
ful, but sell well, as do both yellow and
white marguerites. Stevia is in heavy
supply. Gardenias are rather more
plentiful, but cattleyas are in rather
short supply. Sweet peaa are coming
from a number of growers. The best
grades sell w-ell, but short-stemmed
stock is hard to move. The demand for
smilax, asparagus and ferns is good.

Trade in pot plants is becoming ac-
tive and the large growers report that
they are already pretty well sold out.
Poinsettias, cyclamens, oranges, be-
gonias, ardisias, primulas, ericas and
azaleas are the leaders.

THE ONE BEST SELLER"

FEW YEARS AGO we introduced these beautiful miniature trees to the
trade, and the supply each season has not equaled the demand. They
are almost perfect in shape and in various iieights of from 18 inches to 42
inches, with a spread of 12 inches to 42 inch§^ The base is firmly attached
to a round block of selected white birch about 5 inches in diameter, and they
are not only desirable for table decoration but likewise suited for basket and
other artistic work. We have arranged for an increased number for the
coming season, but urge early purchase for shipment as wanted.

acquainted with the requirements of the most critical florists. They are instructed that the
best is just good enough for our trade.

McAlpine Brop., of Exeter, N. H., are
sending to the Boston Flo^^er Exchange
superb Bichmond roses with stems three
to six feet long.' They are also sending
a quantity of these to New York. They
expect to have 18,000 Bichmonds for

feet at the sides. For the first crop
16,000 tomatoes will be planted, and
these will probably be followed by
sweet peas. Mr, Boland states that his
immense stock of cyclamens and other
plants at Nahant is already pretty well

Mann Bros., of Eandolph, have some
finely berried Skimmia Japonica and
English hollies for Christmas. They are

"THE FERN MEN"

MentloD The Review when you write.

James Wheeler, of Natick, has been
appointed to have charge of all exhi-
bitions at Horticultural hall and their
proper arrangement during 1913.

The Horticultural Club held its regu-
lar monthly meeting at the Parker
House December 4. W. J. Stewart was
the speaker of the evening.

W. N. Craig.

The grand jury has returned an in-
dictment for manslaughter against Al-
bert H. Woods, who fired the shot,
September 18, that killed Thomas Gol-
drop, a trespasser.

Society people in Brookline are
aroused over the report that property
adjoining the home of F. E. Palmer has
passed to a colored man who will make
it a home for the aged of his race.

PASCELS POST EEQUIEEMENTS.

The trade is awaiting with great in-
terest the announcement of the regula-
tions under which the parcels post is
to be put in operation January 1.
Gradually the details are being worked
out. Among the requirements settled
upon are the following:

"That distinctive parcel post stamps
must be used on all fourth-class matter
beginning January 1, 1913, and that
such matter bearing ordinary postage
stamps will be treated as 'Held for
postage. '

"That parcels will be mailable only
at postoflBces, branch postofBces, let-
tered and local named stations and such
numbered stations as may be desig-
nated by the postmaster.

"That all parcels must bear the re-
turn card of the sender; otherwise they
will not be accepted for mailing."

It is stated that it is of the utmost
importance that these requirements be
observed in mailing parcel post pack-
ages in order that such packages may
be promptly handled and dispatched, as
failure to so comply will result in in-
convenience and annoyance to the pub-
lic.

POINSETTIAS.

We grow none of the pink variety, all of our
stock being of the selected, bright red sort; the
bracts are unusually large in all the sizes.

3-inch pots $15 per 100

4-inch pots $25 per 100

4-inch pots, branched $5 per doz.

5-inch pots, heavy $50 per 100

ter. The color is a little lighter than the original
Lorraine.

last year and still retained its original flowers
until April 1. It has proven a wonderful plant
for baskets, etc.

of filling them early in order to thorough

but instead of using tubs or the ordinary i
ceptacle, we have had made artiatio baskttj
etc. , which are shown in the cnts. These i
well made boxes, covered with birch bark i
rattan. The baskets we have in three lii
8", 10" and 12", and a special indoor windi

used in the filling, such as Crotonsi Fand
Dracaenas in variety, Ferns, eto. Last jtt
we sent our plant combinations to all
large cities and while then in the ordu
green tub they met with the highest approvj
everywhere. These filled this year we ca

VARIOUS BULBS.

Please tell me how to handle the fol-
lowing bulbs to force them, or at least
to get them in early: Anemone Apen-
nina, A. fulgens, A. stellata and A.
nemorosa in variety, fritillarias, ixias,
Gladiolus nanus and Spanish iris. Is
there a handy manual on bulbs, includ-
ing the forcing of rare bulbs? J.M.

None of the bulbs named will stand
more than a moderate amount of forc-
ing. All should be grown moderately
cool. If forced like tulips, narcissi or
lilies they will, one and all, be ruined.
The several anemones named succeed
well in a violet house temperature. If
you should be growing double violets,
plant some of these or any of the
ranunculi, another beautiful class of
spring bulbs, between the rows, or
plant them in flats and bring them
along in a cool, airy house. You can
also keep them in flats in coldframes,
or plant direct in the frames for spring
blooming, giving a coating of dry
leaves as a winter protection. One
variety you have not named, A. coro-
naria, is excellent. For spring flower-
ing The Bride, pure white, is fine.

Fritillaria Meleagris and alba, also
aurea, latifolia, etc., can be grown in
pots or pans of sandy, porous loam and
gently forced. Such sortEit,.as biflora,
Oranensis, Sewerzowi and lUiacea suc-
ceed well planted in frames. They natu-
rally flower early and sashes should be
placed over them before the weather
becomes too severe. Air freely, to pre-
vent damping off, when growth has
started.

Ixias succeed well in shallow pans;

6-inch is a good size. Use light, sandy
loam and grow in a cool, well ventilated
greenhouse. Gladiolus nanus and Span-
ish iris require similar treatment. They
can be planted in benches, but a more
profitable plan is to plant in flats four
or five inches deep. Keep in a cool
pit or frame until nicely above ground.
Then place in a temperature of 45
to 50 degrees at night, in batches, to
provide a succession of bloom; 50 de-
grees should be the absolute maximum
at night for either the iris or gladiolus.
I do not know of any special manual
treating on the forcing of rare bulbs,
but the catalogues of some of the noted
European specialists contain consider-
able cultural data. C. W.

New Castle, Ind. — Otto Benthey has
removed to the Mourer room, on Broad
street, where he has a most attractive
store. He has long wanted a Broad
street location.

Eis:ht Pag:es 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?

ST. LOUIS.

^

The Southwestern Market.

The market since Thanksgiving has
been in splendid condition as to stock,
quality and demand. The bracing
weather and the approaching holidays
have kept the business on a move.
Stock has not been so plentiful as it
was, for the demand for roses and car-
nations is much better since the mum
season has come to a close. While
there still are quite a few mums coming
in, the quality is poor for the bulk of
them. A few nice Chadwick and Nonin
have been seen during the week and
commanded a fair price. The whole-
salers, too, are handling quite a lot of
bouquet green and holly of extra good
quality. The market has had a fair
lot of roses during the week, for which
the demand was good for the Killarneys
and Beauties. Richmond also sold well.

Carnations are up in price. As high
as 6 cents is asked for extra choice
stock. White Wonder, Enchantress and
Beacon have the call at this price. The
market has a good supply in all grades
and varieties. Valley has been in good
demand and the supply now is large.
At present Eowe, Aue and Werner Bros,
are supplying this market with excel-
lent stock.

Violets are selling up clean nowadays
at $1 per hundred for extra fancy.

Julius Schaeffer, lately with M. M.
Ayres, on Grand avenue, has bought
the establishment of Ed Loyet, at 918

j)lace last week under liis name. He
said he had quite a good run of busi-
ness.

Fred Alves, manager of Angermuel-

Fred C. Buchrucker & Sons, who
opened a retail store recently at .3816-

considerable funeral work of late and
a good Thanksgiving business.

The State Board of Horticulture met
here December .3, with all the members

The Market.

The supply, with the exception of
colored carnations, is keeping pace with
the demand, which has been quite satis-
factory since Thanksgiving. Mums are
now a thing of the past and from re-
ports proved to be ^ paying crop this
season. A few Paper Whites are com-
ing in and have found ready sale. Sweet
peas are more plentiful and move well.

Club Meeting.

After a vacation of several months,
the Florists' flub again held a meet-
ing December 5, due to the urgent no-
tice sent out by President H. V. Hun-
kel. It being the night for the annual
election of officers, a good attendance
was on hand and it seemed like the
good old days. Officers for 1913 will
be: President, Arthur Leidiger; vice-
president, Geo. Holton; treasurer, James
Livingston; secretry, Eugene Oestrei-
cher; trustee for three years, C. C.
Pollworth. Installation will be held
the first meeting of tKe new year. The
club voted to get some of the cards and
box slips, issued by the New York Flo-
rists ' Club, to give that form of pub-
licity a trial. T'^ndoubtedly these will
be distributed through our three whole-
sale houses.

Prospects are good of getting into
our former meeting place, the Quiet
House, if negotiations of our president-
elect, A. Leidiger, prove successful.

visited several florists, and while every-
thing seemed fine he is still satisfied
with the Cream City. He returned De-
cember 6.

W. A. Kennedy, superintendent of
the C. C. PoUworth greenhouses, went
to Kansas City December 4 to attend
the funeral of his eldest daughter, Mrs.
.John Steven, who died after a short ill-
ness with pneumonia. Being possessed
of a kind and jolly disposition, she will
long be remembered as Miss Minnie
Kennedy by her local friends and those
of the craft, for she seldom missed any
social function given by the Milwaukee
Florists' Club.

Walter Hummel, who since 1908 has
grown miscellaneous stock in several
greenhouses at Fifty-fourth street and
Pabst avenue, opened a retail store on
the northwest corner of Third street
and Reservoir avenue December 10.

Holton & Hunkel Co., which has a
large batch of poinsettias in extra fine

says they have all been spoken for ever

Wm. Currie, seedsman, is vice-presi-
dent of a new Milwaukee curling club.

The new seed warehouse of F, H.
Woodruff & Sons, Milford, Conn., is com-
plete and occupied.

The forthcoming catalogues will price
peas according to the crop, all right — by
not quoting on quantities greater than
pecks.

The liolly shipments are coming for-
ward rapidly and the quality of much
of the stock is excellent. The market
is weak.

The Federal Horticultural Board will
hold a hearing January 7, 1913, on the
proposal to establish a quarantine against
sugar cane.

While the new crop of valley is dis-
appointing in quantity, there is a larger
supply of cold storage pips on hand than
is usual at this date.

G. L. McCuiiLOUGH is now the pro-
prietor of the Arkansas Valley Seed
House, having purchased the interest of
C, H. Browne December 1. '

"Facts About Cantaloupes" is the
title of an interesting illustrated booklet
issued by the Eocky Ford Cantaloupe
Seed Breeders' Association.

Postmasters are inquiring^ of seeds-
men to what extent they expect to use the
parcel poa^ on this season's shipments.
The trader is hardly able to give an an-
swer, siBve so little is known as to how
the new system will compare with old
methods.

The Congress which convened Decem-
ber 2 for the short session is expected
to begin the tariff tinkering. The Demo-
crats promise a general revision down-
ward, but the seed trade is more inter-
ested in preserving the principle of spe-
cific duties than in any change in rates.

Holders of bouquet green, specially
the shippers from the woods, who ac-
quired their stock at the high prices that
prevailed early in the season, are slow to
appreciate that the market has* gone out
from under them and from all accounts
there is a lot of green being hel^ back
in anticipation of a recovery in price,
although the season is rapidly drawing to
a close.

VETCH FOR SEED IN OREGON.

Common vetch, Vicia sativa, is
strictly an annual, having much the
same habit as the garden or English
pea, but the stems are more slender and
usually taller, growing three to five feet
or more in length. Common vetch seed
is produced in large quantities in the
United States only in the Willamette
valley, in Oregon. The methods of

handling the seed crop vary, due partly
to difference of opinion as to the best
method, but more largely to the ma-
chinery which the grower has.

"It is the general practice to cut
vetch for seed as soon as the lower
pods are fully ripe, at which time the
upper pods will be fully formed and
the plant will be carrying a maximum
quantity of seed," says C. W. Piper,
the government agrostologist, in a re-
cent bulletin. "Later cutting occasions
more shattering of the seed, while ear-
lier cutting results in a considerable
percentage of immature seed. In a
few places, where but little seed is
raised, the crop is cut with an ordinary
mowing machine. Two men with pitch-
forks follow the mower and roll the
vetch back from the uncut area so as
to enable the machine to get through
when cutting the next swath. Some-
times the first swath cut is rolled on
the uncut vetch, and when the succeed-
ing swath is cut the two are rolled
back out of the way. This puts the
vetch in larger swaths than the first-
^ mentioned method, and also somewhat
* reduces the loss from shattering. These
two mower and pitchfork methods were
formerly used generally, but now have
been largely superseded by other
methods.

"An ordinary grain binder is used
by some growers, especially when the
vetch is short and therefore quite erect
or when it is grown with a supporting
crop, such as oats. "When thus har-
vested, the crop is put in shocks similar
to grain shocks and allowed to remain
until thrashed.

BURPEE'S ANNUAL FOR 1913

"The Leading American Seed Catalogue

If

€| Is now ready for mailing. The first edition of more than four
hundred thousand copies will soon be distributed. As- usual it is
sent unsolicited only to "Customers of Record." We shall be
pleased, however, to mail a copy immediately upon application (a
postal card will do) to every one who appreciates Quality in Seeds.

^ This Silent Salesman (and we employ no "talking" salesmen
to solicit orders) tells the plain truth about The Best Seeds That
Can Be Grown. It is a bright book of 180 pages and shows,
besides colored plates of Burpee- Specialties, hundreds of the
choicest vegetables and most beautiful flowers, illustrated from
photographs. It is almost indispensable to all who garden either
for pleasure or profit.

^ The "House of Burpee" is known the world over not only as
Experts in Sweet Peas, but also as Seed Specialists. No other
American firm has ever introduced so many novelties of sterling
value — and no other growers supply seeds annually direct to so
many planters. It might be to your interest to read The Burpee
Annual. It will cost you only one cent for a post-card to send
us your address — and you are under no obligation to buy. We
never annoy applicants with "follow up" letters!

^ Shall we mail you a copy?

If so, kindly write today.

Burpee's Blue List for 1913

THE most complete catalogue published for MARKET
GARDENEES, TRUCKERS and FLORISTS. For
the planter who "knows" it contains complete lists of
all that is best in vegetables and flowers, while the
grower who is uncertain as to the best varieties suited
for his purpose may be guided by the bull's-eye ®
placed after what is known to be best. In addition
full descriptions are given of many new and valuable
varieties.

BURPEE'S BLUE LIST FOR 1913 contains 146
pages, with hundreds of half-tone and engraved illus-
trations. Within the pages of this catalogue we have
condensed an experience of thirty-six years both in
handling and the actual growing of seeds.

If you garden for profit (that is, sell your products
in the market) you are entitled to a copy of this com-
plete and easily understood catalogue; but if you are a
private planter please do not ask for it, as we must
protect the Market Gardener, Trucker and Florist.

nient. The swather, which is attached
to and behind the sickle bar, rolls the
vetch in a swath to the outside and
leaves the way clear to cut the next
swath.

"Whatever method is used in cut-
ting, the vetch is put at once into
shocks and remains there till thrashed.
The most important rule in the growing
of vetch seed is to handle the crop
rapidly and as little as possible when
cut.

' ' Common vetch varies considerably
in the yield of seed to the acre. Five
bushels is considered a low yield, and
twenty to twenty-five-bushel yields are
near the maximum. The average acre
yieJd is probably from ten to twelve
bushels.

' ' Vetch is thrashed with an ordinary
thrashing machine, but in order to re-
duce to a minimum the cracking of the
seed, it is necessary to remove most of
the concave teeth. Common vetch
thrashes slowly and consequently the
expense is high, usually 20 to 2.5 cents
a bushel, the cost being about the same
whether the vetch is thrashed by the
bushel or the thrashing machine is
hired bv the dav. "

Every florist store is as incomplete without
lilies as a grocery store would be without coffee.
Horseshoe Brand Cold Storage Giganteum will
force comparatively easy in from 12 to 14 weeks,
and no good excuse can be given for not having
lilies. Some of your customers will surely want
them sooner or later, and if you don't have what
they want they will go elsewhere the next time
to get it. And could you have any flowers in
your store more useful than good, pure white
lilies? Is there anything better for funeral
designs? Won't they go further in making up
than most any other flowers ? And for weddings
— are there any flowers more appropriate than
lilies? Then for general all around purposes,
isn't it good policy to have lilies on hand at all
times? There's another thing about Cold Stor-
age lilies that's often lost sight of, and that is
you always know well in advance just about*
what time your crop will be in flower. Good
lilies will keep for several weeks, too, and it is
not necessary to use them all up at once. All
the above applies to good lilies — they must be
of good quality to be money-makers for you.

*F. O. B. Chicago, Cincinnati and New York.

There is a difference in bulbs just as there is
in nearly all products of the earth. This differ-
ence is just what prompts this advertisement —
and if you don't buy Horseshoe Brand Cold
Storage Giganteum, we both lose — we lose a
certain margin of profit and you lose a certain
margin of flowers. Don't wait — send now for
the Horseshoe Brand Planting Table for Cold

favorites. Full instructions given for forcing.

When the mail order seed houses be-
gan to keep a record of inquiries and
sales from each publication used it
was found to be a lot of work, but
worth it. A good many dormant pub-
lications were shown up for just what
they were; also some of the largest and
highest priced general mediums in the
country were proved to be unprofitable
to the seedsmen. In one case it was
too little circulation and in the other
it was too much, of the wrong kind.

For tb » last two or three years the
general magazines have carried little
seed trade advertising, and orders
placed for 1913 show that they will
have still less this season, one or two
more of the old houses having broken
^e habit of years. The seedsman does
not usually try to make direct sales
through his advertising; all he aims to
do is to get from seed buyers requests
foV his catalogue. Records showed that
the books sent in response to requests
produced by the big general magazines
resulted in a small percentage of orders.
The average size of the order did not
equal the cost of the inquiry plus the
cost of the catalogue. It didn't pay
out, so one by one the seedsmen dropped
oat of this «lass of medium.
■ The same test applied to specialized
publications showed better results. The
fiirm papers, reaching the market grow-
aie, and the gardening papers, reaching
tliose who grow for pleasure as much
as for profit, as a rule produce inquiries
at a lower average cost, the inquiries |

Mmtion Thp Review wbna you write

produce a better percentage of orders,
and the orders average larger. But an
authority says there are 468 so-called
farm papers. Only a few of them are
of use to seedsmen as a class, and only
a few more are valuable to individual
houses. In fact, so few publications
show first year sales equal to the sum
spent for space that the problem of
getting new customers at a cost that
seems reasonable is one of the problems
of the older houses; the newer houses
are, as a rule, growing with their local
territory. At any rate, most of the
seed trade advertising for 1913 is going
into class papers and in selecting the
mediums not only previous results but
quantity and distribution of circula-
tion have been studied more closely
than ever.

Even more wasteful than the habitual
type of advertising has been the
thoughtless distribution of catalogues.
The modern seed catalogue costs a great
deal of money, especially if it is
charged with all the expense, from time
to postage. Also if only half the books
sent out produce orders, that doubles
the catalogue cost to be charged against
those individual orders. The only way
to reduce the catalogue cost per order is
to make the books produce a better
percentage of orders. Since writer, il-
lustrator and printer already have done
their best, the problem is one of dis-
tribution. To constantly add names to
the mailing list and never take any
off means a steady increase, not only
in the year's cost for books, but in
the average catalogue cost per order.

There still are seedsmen who are
mailing their books to everybody who
ever asked for one, without keeping a
record of results, but their number is
growing rapidly less. It doesn't pay.
Of course every seed house will send
this season's book to all who ordered
last season, and most of the conserva-
tive ones will mail the 1913 catalogue
to all who asked for the book or or-
dered in 1911, even if they were not
heard from in 1912. But beyond that
not many will go.

The average seedsman is reluctant to
reduce the run on his catalogue. If he
has been printing 100,000 he hates to
cut it to 80,000, even though he knows
full well that he could prune his mail-
ing list with profit. He looks on cut-
ting his edition as a step backward.
In such a case a study or the source
of the orders has helped. One seeds-
man, confronted by the fact that his
mail order department was not paying
as it should, found his orders came prin-

cipally from within a certain radius and
that both mail and counter sales were
particularly good in certain suburbs
and adjacent towns. So he concen-
trated his advertising in the publica-
tions circulating principally in his ter-
ritory, cut his mailing list sharply and
used the books saved for almost house
to house distribution in his chosen lo-
calities. The concentration proved prof-
itable both for the mail order and
counter departments and solved the
problem of advertising for that seeds-
man until competition became keener
than when the plan was first tried.

SNAILS IN LETTUCE HOUSE.

We are troubled with snails in our
lettuce house. They are the soft, black
ones. When they get onto a plant,
they completely destroy it. We have
tried sow bug poison and Slug Shot,
tod have scattered lime around the
wooden benches, but all to no avail.
We are now hand-picking them and we
get as many as 200 per night, which we

Save put in kerosene oil, but after ten
ours they are still alive. About the
only remedy we have found for them
it to burn them. G. & G.

Get a large quantity of air-slaked
lime and dust it on the top of the soil,
covering it all over until the ground is
Tfhite. It will not hurt the plants, but
will benefit the soil and help keep the
slugs down, as they will not crawl over
t^e lime. Then you can pick off a few
by hand. H. G.

Stevenson, Wash. — W. T. Jackson was
at Spokane with the display of fruit
which, at the apple show, won first
prize, a gold medal and a silver cup
for the Spokane, Portland & Seattle
railroad.

Eugene, Ore. — G. E. Lawrence has
sold the Eugene Carnation Farm, south
of town, to George Israelson. Mr. and
Mrs. Lawrence will continue to reside
here and will handle the flowers from
the farm at the Rex Floral Store.

McMinnville, Ore. — S. H. Maris, pro-
prietor of the Pioneer Greenhouses,
says business has been good the entire
year. Stock has been of excellent qual-
ity and has been kept cleared up at
excellent prices. Greenhouse vegetables
have sold well. Mums are gone, the
carnation now being the principal
flower. Ferns, primroses and cycla-
mens are the best sellers among plants
at present.

LOS ANOELES, CAL.

The Market.

Present indications point to an excep-
tionally heavy Christmas business. The
Thanksgiving clean-up was away above
the average and advance orders for the
big day are much heavier than at this
time last year. Stock in most cases is
plentiful, the only shortage being in
white carnations, which do not open
freely when the nights are as cool as
they have been recently. Beds and
light pinks are plentiful and good.
Centaureas are fine and to some extent
take the place of carnations. Mums
are past, the few stragglers now shown
being hardly worth sending in.

Eose stock varies greatly. Grand
flowers are sent in by some growers,
while those from others are thin in
texture, short-stemmed and of poor
color — no better than they were at
midsummer. Those growers who at-
tempted to save money by not firing
early are reaping the benefit in a
sturdy growth of mildew and spot, and
the chances of a good holiday cut are
remote indeed.

Cut poinsettias are in and the flowers
are extra good this season, both in
size and color. The foliage has also
been well retained and there will be a
big cut for the holidays. Sweet peas
do not make a good showing thus far,
and there are prospects of a shortage
for Christmas. Violets have improved
greatly since the cooler nights have
been prevalent. Valley is extra good
for the season, both the local grown
and that sapped in from the north.
There is a nice show of orchids, princi-
pally cattleyas and phalaenopsis.

Plants so far are decidedly second-
rate. The cyclamens coming from San
Francisco are by far the best offerings
and our local plant growers will have
to. improve their methods considerably
to hold their own against the exeed«nt
northern stock.

Greens are plentiful and good.
Smilax is much improved; there is
plenty of asparagus, huckleberry and
ferns, though the last mentioned are a
little rough. The Oregon grape, or

ARE YOU satisfied;?

Any florist on the Paeifle coast not
satisfied to do a local retail business
can build up a prosperous wholesale
trade by using space in The Eeview to
let the buyers know where stock is to
be found. This way:

We have fonnd advertising in The
Review to be very satisfactory. We

cific coast, showing that your valued

berberis, is attractive, and another long-
leaved berberis is pretty and lasting.
Solanum berries and a few plants of
Ardisia crenulata give a bright touch
and are welcome. Adiantum is good
and there is plenty to go around;

Various Notes.

The Superior Nursery has opened a
retail store at 4309 Central avenue and
Mr. Gutting says he is well satisfied
with the business so far.

There has been a big run on poin-

settias at the Los Angeles Flower Mar-
ket, especially for shipping out of town.
Charles Morton has been on a trip to
San Francisco, Santa Cruz and other
northern points, on the lookout for
holiday stock, and he is coming out
strong. In azaleas he promises some:
thing unusually good.

The experiments carried out by the
H. N. Gage Co. with Chinese narcissus
bulbs under lath have proven highly
successful. The stems are consider-
ably longer and the blooms finer than
on outdoor plants. A large order was
filled here this week for a golden wed-
ding at a local hotel, all the flowers
being of a golden hue. With the new
grounds at Montebello, this firm now
has over twenty acres devoted to grow-
ing cut flowers.

At the opening of the new Times
building quite a number of choice floral
pieces were used. One of the most
striking was an American flag, 7 x 10
feet, with a 14-foot pole, made by Frank
Lichtenberg of red and white carna-
tions and vivid blue immortelles. This
is the new building erected on the site
of the one blown up some two years
ago, which led up to the famous (or
infamous) McNamara-oase.

The Eoserie is preparing to move to
its new quarters in Third street a* the
beginning of the year.

O. C. Saakes has secured a new lease
on his Fourth street store and he ex-
pects to spend considerable money, after

long experience, both here and in the
principal eastern cities. Quiet, unosten-
tatious and gentlemanly in hk manner,
he is conversant with all that goes to
make up a true florist. No doubt he
will make good in the more onerous
duties he has undertaken and everyone
will wish him well.

Morris Goldenaon has been away on
a northern trip. Trade keeps up well
at the store. A large basket filled with
azaleas and tied with red ribbon was
one of the fine pieces sent from here
to the opening of the Times building.

Tasteful work, both in the store and
out, is characteristic of the Freeman -
Lewis staff and the window displays
are always good.

Tony Tassano is back on deck at the
Los Angeles Evergreen & Cut Flower
Supply Market, after a successful trip
north. Business is keeping up well, espe-
cially in the high-class greens and ferns,
for which this house has a good reputa-
tion.

The roses now being sent to Wright 's
Flower Shop from the greenhouses at
Gardena are without doubt the best
stock in this town. They are a credit
to Mr. Brown, the capable and ener-
getic grower, who now has his large
range finely in hand. The gardenias
are also excellent, with good foliage and
large, pure white flowers. The valley
is perfect and, in short, the whole of
the stock is highly satisfactory in every
way. No wonder Tom Wright beams
benevolently on all and sundry. His
spirited policy all through deserves the
success he is getting.

A. Beverley, of the Mission Oak

a few days, introducing a new sprayer,

the Pacific Adjustable, suitable for
small areas, and the Vacher Rotary,
for larger ones. Both have the ear-
marks of useful tools, practical and
easily handled. A sprayer that will do
its work, automatically, as Mr. Bever-
ley claims this will, would be a boon
to all growers. H. R. Richards.

The Market.

Business for November exceeded that
of preceding years. Satisfaction is ex-
pressed on all sides. December opened
with a rush and plenty of stock to
take care of orders. Mums we still
have with us, but the gradual decline
in quality is noticeable. Carnations
are up to standard in all varieties and
always clean up. Funeral work has
served to keep the surplus moving.
Maid, Bride and Killarney are in good
crop and quality that brings the high-
est market price. Beauties are almost
off crop. Violets and orchids are
scarce. With Christmas near at hand,
preparations are being made on all
sides to handle the largest trade in the
history of the city. Stock will be
plentiful enough to go around and qual-
ity will be up to standard. Poinset-

Club Meeting.

The Florists' Club met Monday eve-

ness was transacted in settling the af-
fairs of the flower show. With all bills
paid, a considerable amount will be
left over, which shows well for the
first attempt. E. R. C.

SEATTLE.

The Market.

As usual after Thanksgiving week,
trade has not been quite so brisk and
stock is hanging on longer than we
should like. Chrysanthemums are still
arriving in fairly liberal quantities and
the quality continues good. The next
two weeks will nearly clean them up,
so that there will be few, if any, left
for the Christmas trade. There is a
good supply of carnations, but large
shipping orders take care of the sur-
plus, so that prices arc well maintained
and there is no sign of anything like a
glut. Boses are scarce and of none too
good quality, the foliage in some ship-
ments being badly mildewed. The local
supply is small, coming mostly from
the east and south. Local violets are
in fine condition, but the supply is not
large. Discriminating buyers, however,
are pleased to pay an enhanced price
in preference to buying the California
stock. Callas are in good supply and
are extensively used. Paper Whites
and Romans are selling briskly, but are
not arriving in large quantities so far.
Orchids are scarce. Greens of all
kinds are in good demand. Pot plants
are fairly abundant, but are not mov-
ing fast.

Various Notes.

The H. B. Burdett Co. has installed a
motor delivery in connection with the
ever increasing business at First and
Denny way. The new vehicle is a
Chalmers car.

Charles Muench is back in the city
after spending the summer in Van-
couver, B. C. He reports business as
being good there, but says he prefers
to reside in Seattle. He has accepted
a position in the Third avenue store of
Mrs. L. W. McCoy.

The Florists' Club's committee has
been active in trying to put a stop to
the peddling of California violets on
the streets, with satisfactory results
so far, and it is hoped that before long
the florists will have one less complaint
to make.

monopoly, but this season the highest
grade of chrysanthemums are being sold
at prices so low, quality considered,
that local houses are declining to bid
for the trade.

Prospects for a good Christmas are
bright. There will be about the usual
supply of flowers, and the plant. supply
will be considerably larger than in
former years.

The famous Victoria holly is excel-
lent this year. The price on the trees
for first-grade stock is about 40 cents
per pound. The whole supply is in the
gardens of private residences and is
limited.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The weather has turned rather cool.
The days are comparatively warm, but'
there are slight frosts at night. This
has had the effect of making outside
stock a little scarcer than it was, with
a stiffening of prices in consequence.
Violets are plentiful and good and still
cost the stores at the rate of 50 cents
per dozen bunches. Narcissi are get-
ting plentiful, but other outside flowers
are on the wane. Carnations are plenti-
ful enough and are being held at the
same prices as were in vogue at Thanks-
giving. Boses, with the exception of
Maids, are not overplentiful. Fancy
stock is scarce. Valley and orchids
are held at about the same figures as
for the last month. A few Lilium long-
iflorum and Boman hyacinths are seen.
Plenty of poinsettias are here from the
south, but the call for -them is not at
all lively. Cyclamens in pots are seen
on every hand; there never has been
such a good showing of them in the
town's history. Begonias and azaleas
help to keep up the color. Other lines
of stock are about the same as last
week.

Business, with the exception of fu-
neral trade, is not brisk. Everyone
seems to be waiting for the Christmas
holidays.

DEUTZIA OBACILIS.

When is the proper time to pot up
Deutzia gracilis to have them in for
Easter, and how should they be
treated! They are now in the field.

H. G. C.

Field-grown deutzias are not quite
so satisfactory for forcing as those
grown in pots. I would suggest digging
up and potting the plants at once.
I^rm the soil well about the roots,
soak well with water and stand them in a
coldframe or pit. Move them into a
temperature of 60 degrees at night
eight weeks before Easter, which comes
as early as March 23 next year. Spray
the plants freely and, as the flowers
start to open, place in a somewhat
cooler house to develop. C. W.

All the big orcharding and farming
companies recently incorporated have
used the word ' ' nursery ' ' in the title
and stated in their articles that one of
the objects is to grow, sell, or deal in
nursery stock.

Bebtband H. Fare, proprietor of the
Wyomissing Nursery, Wyomissing, Pa.,
no longer has an office at Reading, the
business being concentrated at the nurs-
ery. Mr, Farr is president of the Amer-
ican Peony Society.

T. E. Cashman, the Owatonna nursery-
man, called the Minnesota State Horti-
cultural Society to order December 3 for
its forty-sixth annual meeting. Among
members of the trade who liad places on,
the program were C. S. Harrison, York,
Neb.; E. C. Hilborn, Valley City, N. D.;
G. W. Strand, Taylor's Falls, Minn.,
and J. M. Underwood, Lake City, Minn.

The Atlantic Nursery Co., Berlin, Md.,
has been organized and incorporated, to
grow a full line of nursery products.
Propagating houses will be erected for
bedding stock, shrubbery, etc. The com-
pany has purchased the business and
stock of the Peninsula Nurseries, D. W.
Babcock, proprietor, also 165 acres of
fine land for nursery purposes, in addi-
tion to what is now used. The specialty
will be the production of noaterial for
forestry and ornamental planting, seed-
lings of all kinds for transplanting and
lining out. D. W. Babcock becomes
manager and secretary of the company.
Robert .1. Sherwell is president and
treasurer.

One of the novel sights in Mesa, Ariz.,
is the burlap house over the young
orange nursery of Paul Baxter Beville.
Mr. Beville says it required 16,000 yards
of burlap, 1,.500 standards, 4,000 feet of
lumber, five miles of wire, two kegs of
nails and 1,000 laths to complete the
work. In addition to the cloth house
there are 200 firepots ready for use
should the weather become cold enough
to require them. The actual labor in
placing the cover equaled one man's
work for eighty days. Under this roof
there are 25,000 trees — orange, lemon,
grape fruit and tangerine-— 4,500 of
which will be put on the market the
coming spring.

The Secretary of Agriculture has given
notice of a hearing, under the quarantine
act, January 8, 1913, with regard to a
proposed quarantine against the Mexican
fruit fly.

At the recent meeting of the Southern
Illinois Horticultural Society the nursery-
men of the district took a prominent
part, W. W. Thomas, of Anna, being
elected first vice-president, C. F. Heaton,
of New Burnside, second vice-president,
and E. G. Mendenhall, of Kinmundy,
secretarv and treasurer.

THE OYPSY MOTH CONDITIONS.

In his annual report the Secretary
of Agriculture gives the following re-
view of the situation as regards the
gypsy and brown-tail moths:

"There was during the year compara-
tively slight increase in the territory
infested by these two destructive in-
sects. The work of attempting to pre-
vent the further spread has been con-
tinued in the way of clearing up road-
sides, in the way of the inspection of
all plants and plant products going
out of the infested territory, by the
study of the diseases of the gypsy moth,
and by the continued importation and
establishment of parasites and natural
enemies of both species from abroad.
Conditions within the infested terri-
tory continue to improve, and neither

the gypsy moth nor the brown-tail moth
is any longer the pest in the villages
and towns of New England that it was
even five years ago. In the woodlands
the damage produced especially by the
gypsy moth is still evident, but great
progress has been made in the study of
woodland conditions, and this study has
apparently arrived at the point where
the preservation of the forest areas in
New England-! seems to be a decided
possibility, even in the presence of the
gypsy moth, and this may be brought
about by a varied system of forest
management, the details of which are
being prepared for publication and gen-

DESCRIPTION

Color: — Brilliant scarlet, good even shade.

Form: — Large 3 to 3i/>-inch, well rounded flowers, full
center, scalloped edges, outer petals standing out well,
showing the flower off to good advantage.

Calyx.: — Strong, large calyx; never bursts, very much
on the order of Harlowarden.

Habit: — Ideal, upright growth; deep green colored
foliage, breaks readily from the base, making a rapid
growth and producing flowers in remarkably short time.
Easy to grow and propagate.

Stem: — Long and strong, not heavy, always stiff enough
to hold the large flower perfectly erect.

Guarantde: — We guarantee this variety to fill a long
felt want for a good all around commercial scarlet; one
that will produce high grade flowers with long stems right
from the beginning of the season to the end.

The Herald is the Best Commercial Scarlet for you to
grow, because it will produce more perfect flowers in a
season than any other scarlet and bring a higher price
than any other; because the flowers are all perfect; stem
stiff and keeps the longest. Compared with Enchantress
it will produce one-third more blooms. No culls; no splits;
no weak stems. All rooted cuttings guaranteed strong,
well rooted and satisfactory in every respect.

Club Banquet.

Early in October Leman Bradford
wagered that Taft would carry New
York and Pennsylvania; Arthur J. Todd
wagered no. Early in December Mr.
Bradford most royally banqueted the
Springfield Florists' Club at the green-
houses of the Springfield Floral Co., on
the Urbana road. The oflSice door was
found to be securely locked and guarded
and the window shades closely drawn,
while the members, upon arrival, inter-
ested themselves in inspecting the spa-
cious packing sheds, boiler cellar and
other features of the equipment.

The spell of mystery was broken
when the office door was thrown open
and a most unique sight met the gaze
of the expectant and hungry guests.
On the walls were a variety of mottos,
referring in jovial style to different
members, to items on the bill of fare
and to special rules of table etiquette
for the occasion. The surprising stunt,
however, was in the setting of the
tables, which was accomplished almost

celery and crackers in 6-inch, oyster
stew in 5-inch, nuts in 4-inch, pickles,
sugar and roses in SV^-inch, coffee and
water in 3-inch, olives and cigars in
2% -inch, salt and toothpicks in 2-inch.
Just for variety, the sauerkraut course
and the butter were served on minia-
ture flats. Such tableware served to
make every florist perfectly at home
and the repast was most heartily en-
joyed. Incidentally, the product of the
Springfield Clay Mfg. Co. was freely
complimented.

Mr. Bradford more than made good
his wager, and was profusely congratu-
lated upon the originality and aptness
of his entertainment.

In the business session which fol-
lowed, William Campbell and Howard
Brown were elected to full membership
and the name of Kama C. Campbell was
proposed by the membership for action
at the January meeting.

C. C. Leedle, of the program commit-
tee, invited suggestions by the members
as to topics of interest for the coming
meetines.

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

Business this week was only moder-
ate, but no complaint can be made, as
all the florists are getting their share.
Apparently the price of stock holds
well and will continue so until spring.
Last year at this time roses were a
glut in the market; this year there
seems to be a good demand for them.
Carnations in general are good. From
the reports of the diflEerent growers,
the plants are full of buds and will be
in for Christmas without any trouble.
The price of carnations is rather heavy
for the present. Shoppers are buying
Christmas presents and are not spend-
ing much on cut flowers. Eoses are
good and are holding their own. Some
have come on the market this week
showing strong effects of sulphur, but
are fine in color.

Various Notes.

R. S. Brown is in the hospital pre-
paring for an operation to be performed
the last of the week. The trade hopes
he will speedily recover.

John Stevens lost his wife December
5 and the same day was taken to the

extends its sympathy and wishes him
a speedy recovery.

Mrs. T. A. Mosely, Kansas City,

W. L. Rock Flower Co. has just com-
menced to cut into its heavy crop of

THE NEW PINK CARNATION

NORTHPORT

COLOR, cerise pink. This variety has been thoroughly tried out for the past five
years, and we offer it today with every confidence that it will ultimately take
first place as the premier dark pink. The color is similar to Mrs. C. W. Ward
without the objectionable streakiness and tendency to burst the calyx of the latter
variety during the dark weather.

The growth is wonderfully free and continuous, and Northport will produce more flowers per
plant than any other variety of its type. The "cialyx is practically non-bursting, and a look
at its record on the show table will indicate its value from an exhibition point of view.

ENCHANTRESS SUPREME

'THE best Sport of Enchantress up to date, possessing all at all seasons. Calyx is longer and narrower than that of
*■ the vigor and freedom that distinguish its parent. Color the parent variety, and distinct from the latter. Has shown
a light salmon pink— a color that is not only very attractive, no inclination to be a burster. The weak points of Enchant-
but also one that endures full exposure to the sun without ress seem to have been lost in this Sport, and a trial of four
bleaching. A good all-round Carnation that retains its color years' duration convinces us of its great value.

flowers are plentiful, including roses,

The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. is
making a large cut and Geo. Blackman

Julius Niednagel & Sons are enjoy-

Julius Niednagel is being boomed for

Henry Seymour is cutting some good
carnations. He has a variety of pot
plants, which are looking well.

J. C. Elspermann has his carnations
in fine shape for a Christmas crop. His
pot plants, as well as cuttings in the
sand, are in good condition.

Louis Fritsch says business is better
than ever with him.

Miss Nellie Goodge is enjoying better
health,

Royston & Fenton are cutting excel-
lent Bride and Maid roses. Ivory is

Carnations!

A word to the grower of carnations!

This firm has 50«000 carnation plants that are grown exclu=
sively for cuttings, and never allowed to flower.

It has been proved conclusively that plants will not yield cut
flowers and give strong cuttings at the same time; compelling
them to do this, gives wealcened stoclc.

If your stock is lacking vigor, replace ^ith some of these
carefully handled cuttings; they will put you in good shape for
another year.

We use science and efficiency methods in handling our car»
nations from start to finish; visit our place and see for yourself;
you will not find a yellow or diseased plant.

We root our cuttings in clean Lake Michigan sand,
freighted 200 miles.

We root them cool.

We have 150,000 cuttings ready for DECEMBER delivery, and
we shall have 200,000 for JANUARY.

They embrace the following sorts:

Commodore . . . $12.00 per lOO; $100.00 per 1000

Richest crimson scarlet: the best keeper and traveler in the family: ex-

THE NEW GOLD MEDAL ROSE

"Mrs. Charles Russell"

H, This giant forcing rose is an American seedling raised at the

Waban Rose Conservatorias and has been tested in our

houses for several years.
H, It has proved to be a strong, vigorous grower, and its freedom

of bloom is remarkable for a rose that is fully as large as an

American Beauty.

C Its large, pointed buds, of a clear rose-pink and delightfully
sweet fragrance, are the admiration of all who have seen it,
either growing in our houses or as exhibited by us at the
different shows.

C^ It has received high honors when exhibited at such centers as
Philadelphia, New York and Boston. At the latter place the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society honored it with a Gold
Medal, a rare distinction from this conservative society.

Plants will be ready for delivery after March 1, 1913

FINE FERNS-"6ET THEM AT DREER'S"

PTESIS FLABELLATA

We offered this Fern for the first time at the Chicago Conven-
tion last summer. Eepeat orders have been coming from cus-
tomers who bought at that time; this should be sufficient recom-
mendation for it. We have only a limited stock of 6-inch pans
left, 35 cts. each.

ADIANTUM CUNEATUM
Good 3-inch pots, $6.00 per 100; 4-inch pots, at $12.00 per 100.
MIXED FEBNS FOR DISHES

While the "Dreer Grade" of Mixed Ferns has always sold for
$3.50 per 100, or $30.00 per 1000, in competition with other
stocks at $3.00 per 100, or $25.00 per 1000, we have decided to
meet this price and our usual high grade plants will now be
furnished at the reduced price of $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per
1000, but not less than 500 will be furnished at thousand rates.

CIBOTIUM SCHIEDEI

CIBOTIUM SCHIEDEI

We are long at the present time on Cibotiums of the size
which we usually sell at $4.00 each; we need the room for other
stocks. They can be supplied either in 10-inch tubs or 10-inch
pans, and as long as the surplus lasts they will be furnished at
the special price of $2.50 each. This is a special bargain and
a chance to secure exceptional value in a good holiday plant.
Order quick if you want them, as this offer will be withdrawn
as soon as the surplus has been reduced.

In other regular sizes we can supply splendid 6-inch pots at
$1.50 each and handsome specimens in 12-inch tubs at $6.00 each.

ADIANTUM FABI£YENSE BTJHM VON MOBDBECHT

We have a splendid lot of 3-inch pots of this new Fern, which
are hard to tell apart from Adiantum Farleyense, nice stock for
making up Christmas work, which we are selling at $2.00 per
dozen, $15.00 per 100, a trifle more than one-half of what Far-
leyense would cost, and a plant that will not go to pieces with
you in a few days, and is as hardy as Croweanum or Hybridum.

The Market.

Stock of every description, with the
exception of white roses, is scarce.
Chrysanthemums are about on their last
legs. Carnations are almost unheard
of and according to present indications
this flower will be scarce for Christmas.
Roses are also short and not equal to
the local demand, although trade has
fallen off somewhat since Thanksgiving.
Valley is not any too plentiful and
lilies are scarce. Monday morning, De-
cember 9, found the market almost void
of stock and the coolers at all the stores
more or less empty. Many novelties in
Christmas greens are available at the
wholesalers'. The outlook is exception-
ally bright for a good Christmas trade.
Prosperity is the word all about town.

Various Notes.

John Breitmeyer's Sons had the deco-
rations for the Assembly ball, in the
Hotel Ponchartrain. Mr. Danzer, their
decorator, fairly outdid himself.

A limousine, running into the rear of
E. A. Fetter's fine new delivery car,
damaged it to the extent of about $50.
Fortunately, no one was hurt in the
accident.

Robert Jean was considerably wor-
ried December 8 over the loss of a large
shipment of roses and other stock from
Kalamazoo.

Every available auto in the
convertible into a delivery car, has bee!
already engaged for the holidays. Re-
tailers who left this to the last minute
arc now decidedly up against it.

The Florists^ Review

Decembkk 12, 1912.,

BAIiTIMOBE.

The Market.

There was plenty of rain this week,
eontinuing for about four days, after
which the weather began to get much
cooler. The temperature dropped to
about 34 degrees. However, trade is
still holding its own, in spite of the
poor outlook. There has been a great
deal of funeral work and this has kept
everybody hustling. The retail stores
are beginning to show signs of prepara-
tion for Christmas. Many pot plants
of holly are to be seen. Carnations are
beginning to come on and are of good
quality, but the demand more than
equals the supply, especially for the
whites. Koses seem to be plentiful,
with a little advance in price. Amer-
ican Beauties, unlike the teas, are some-
what scarce and are selling at a high
figure. The sale of potted plants has
been quite heavy, and will probably
increase as we near the holidays. Vio-
lets and lily of the valley are in brisk
demand. Orchids are not plentiful, but
there are enough of them to go around.
All other flowers are going well at the
usual figures. Good crops are in sight
:tfiT the holiday trade. The prophet^
are figuring to get only moderate prices
this season.

Various Notes.

F. C. Bauer has a fine show house of
potted plants of various kinds in readi-
ness for Christmas.

L. A. H. Klein is cutting some fine
tea roses, which are easily disposed of.

M. Thau & Co. are growing a fine lot
of Victory carnations, which surely
ought to create a demand for the holi-
days.

H. Fortuber, formerly connected with
the Baltimore Florists' Exchange, now
is engaged in the retail florists' busi-
ness and is doing well. S. W.

Natchez, Miss. — Chris Maier & Bro.
have completed their new greenhouse,
boiler house and workroom. The two
brothers are experienced landscape gar-
deners as well as florists.

• Midland, Mich.— W. E. Thayer has
just completed a new greenhouse, 20x
100, which he will use for lettuce and
radishes, as he finds that all the space
in his former houses will be required
for flowers.

Binghamton, N. T. — W. H. Graham
has disposed of his flower business here,
with the intention of removing to Little
Falls, N. Y., and taking charge of the
business of his brother, J. 0. Graham,
in that city. The brother in Little Falls
has been in ill health for several weeks
and has needed assistance. W. H. Gra-
ham has been in the trade here nearly
twenty years, for five years of that time
being in partnership with his brother.

We are growing all our Eentias above 6-inch size in neat C«dar Tuba, made especially for us, with electric wire hoops, painted Kr««n.

These tubs cost several times the price of pots, but we sell the plants at the same price as though grown in pots. The buyer has the
advantage of receiving his plants without breakage of pots and in handsome tubs in which they have become well established and in which
they will continue to do better than in pots.

When In Philadelphia be sure to Look Us Up.

We are easily reached— only 25 minutes from Reading Terminal, 12th and Market Streets. Philadelphia. We have fine train service— fifty
trains each way every week day— so you can suit your own convenience, both going and coming. When you will see our palms of all

MANHEIM, PA.

The Lancaster County Forists' Club
made its first visit to this town Novem-
ber 30. Those who came from Lancas-
ter were: Rudolph Nagle, Harry
Rohrer, Lemon Landis, Albert M. Herr,
Abraham Rohrer, F. Spinner, D. D.
Schultz, Jacob Fleer and Frank Bachler.
From other towns came: B. J. Wig-
gens, New York; W. R. Denlinger,
Vintage; Amos Rohrer, Strasburg; H.
B, Wt Jiver, Birdinhand; Elmer Weaver,
Ronks; James Brown, Coatsville; John
Toland, Sadsburyville; Henry Ginder
and Benjamin Wike.

The first call was at the establish-
ment of Munroe H. Hostetter, the sec-
ond at Phares Hostetter 's, and the
third at E. P. Hostetter 's. They all
grow sweet peas, snapdragons, carna-
tions and baby primrose for the whole-
sale market. The quality of the stock
was high for sweet peas and by no
means low for the other stock grown.
At E. P. Hostetter 's, the largest of the
three places, the smallest house being
200 feet long, there were three houses
of Sprengeri, one of plumosus and one
of mignonette, the balance of the place
being devoted to sweet peas, snap-
dragon, carnations and baby primroses,
of which he has a fine white. His 400-
foot King house was an eye-opener to
some of the visitors. A fine lunch was
served by the three Hostetters and
their wives, assisted by Mrs. Burk-
holder and Miss Flory. A few speeches
of appreciation followed. A. M. H.

Holland, Mich. — Henry Ebelink is
building another greenhouse, which will
connect two of his former houses.

PANSY PARK PERFECTION is the most thor-
oughbred strain of giant show and fancy pansles.
I have made growing of pansy seeds and plants
a specialty for nearly 40 years, and it is the
result of many years of breeding and selection.
One of many reports: "Pansles arrived in good
condition and are much better than any received
from any other grower. Send me 1,500 more." —
J. H. Booth, Chester, Pa. Large lot of plants
protected from freezing. Shipped any time from
now on. Delivery in good condition guaranteed.
Hardy field-grown plants from seed sown thinly,
broadcast, so that each plant has plenty of room
to grow stocky and strong, with extra good roots.
Over 76 varieties mixed, the reds, bronzes and
best fancy sorts In large proportion, 1000; $3.00;
500, $1.76; 6000, $14.00; 10,000, $27.00. Cash.

Hartford, Conn.— J. Albert Brodrib
has been engaged in litigation with the
city on account of the city's proposal

moval of the houses, but Mr. Brodrib
has sued for a permanent injunction re-
straining the city from disturbing his
property.

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.

WHAT'S THE USE.

The manufacturer of an oil burner
used by many western florists says:
♦♦Since the Standard Oil Co. has been
brought to time (Oh! Oh!) the good
people are having a harvest in oils,
there only being a raise of 6V> cents
a gallon on gasoline and 3 cents to
6 cents on fuel oil. One more haul to
the carpet and users of gasoline will
have to resort to grain alcohoL Only
a few can get fuel oil at any price, and
the oil companies refuse to make any
contracts, even at market price at time
of delivery, to guarantee delivery. Now
what is the use of an oil burner?"

UNDEEGEOUND STEAM CONDUIT.

My present place consists of about
18,000 feet of glass, and I am planning
a new place across the road, the boiler-
room floor of which will be about
twenty-five feet lower than the present
place and 380 feet distant from it.
Will it be practicable to heat the pres-
ent place from the new? If so, what
kind of conduit would you suggest,
and what size of flow and return? The
present place will be devoted to carna-
tions and peas, the new place to roses.
I am located in northern Maryland.

J. P. K.

There will be no trouble in heating
the present range of greenhouses from
the new heating plant, and there will
be relatively little loss of heat, es-
pecially if the 'steam is carried in the
conduit at a pressure of forty to eighty
pounds, with a pressure-reducing valve
on the main where it enters the green-

and a 3-inch main will answer if the
steam is under high pressure. It will
be well to use a 2-inch pipe for the re-
turn water.

A concrete conduit will not be par-
ticularly expensive and will prove quite
satisfactory. The walls need not be
more than three inches thick, and two
inches will answer for the upper edges
of the sides. Concrete slabs can be
used as a covering. To prevent radia-
tion from the pipes, they should bB en-
closed in asbestos pipe covering. While
a smaller conduit might be used, to per-
mit the mains to run side by side and
give plenty of room for putting on the
covering, a width of fifteen inches is
desirable, with a depth of about twelve
inches.

TO MAINTAIN AN EVEN TEMPERATURE
in your greenhouses, use a

Foster Pressure
Regulator

Qlass

That's the class you want. Attach this simple device to the steam main just inside of your green-
house and obtain the exact temperature desired by turning the adjusting nut "K" (see illustration) to
the "right" for greater heat, to the "left" for less. At whatever pressure the valve is "set," the pressure
at all times will be absolutely constant. Sizes ^-inch to 2-inch have composition bodies; larger sizes,
to and including 10-inch, iron body, composition mounted.

As an expert in your line, let us talk it over, as experts in ours. We recommend, we aid you in the
selection of the proper size, and should you require higher pressure than 15 lbs., the most suitable type
of our other styles of pressure Regulators would be recommended.

"The Foster Pressure Regulators which have been installed in our greenhouses are
giving perfect satisfaction." Petek Reinberg, Chicago.

of the house and connecting it with
eight 2-inch returns, which can be car-
ried either on the walls or under the
benches, or both. A boiler rated for 300
square feet of radiation, and with a
grate twenty inches in diameter, should
heat the house easily.

FEED PUMP AND BECEIVEB.

Please have your heating expert give
me some information with reference to
the kind of steam pump and receiver
for the circulation of steam and for re-
ceiving the condensation which is re-
turned to the boiler. What size of
apparatus would be sufficient for 25,000
square feet of glass? The engineer who
installed the boiler stated that the re-
ceiver of the pump should be three feet
below the level of the pump. Please
give me full information about the kind
of pump, the size, installation, etc.

M. L.

The temperature at which the houses
are to be kept is not given; neither is
the pressure to be maintained in the
system stated. Both of these considera-
tions would have much to do with the
size and kind of pump to be used. It is
probable that the range described can
be heated by means of 5,000 square feet
of radiating surface, and if a steam
pressure of five or six pounds is main-
tained a duplex boiler feed pump rated
as 3-2-4 would be of sufficient capacity
to return the water to the boiler. This
would have a steam cylinder three
inches in diameter; the water cylinder
would have a diameter of two inches,
and the length of the stroke would be
four inches. A 4-2%-6 single cylinder
pump could also be used, or an electric
pump might be installed.

The reservoir to receive the water
from the coils should be lov/ enough
so that they would drain by gravity.
A steel tank holding five barrels will
answer for a heating plant of this size,
which will evaporate 100 to 120 gallons
of water per hour.

For an up-to-date arrangement a self-
contained automatic pump and receiver
should be used. With the automatic
feed a comparatively small receiver
will answer; a capacity of twenty to
twenty-five gallons will be sufficient.
Whether self-contained or not, the re-
ceiver should be on a level with, or
above the pump, as hot water cannot
be lifted by suction. While most of
the self-contained pumps have the res-
ervoirs from one to two feet above the
cylinders of the pump, it is only neces-
sary to have sufficient head for the
water to flow to the pumps by gravity.

These pumps are automatic in their
action. They have a float in the re-

The Florists' Review

DacEHBEB 12, 1912.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

The Consumers' League and the
Chamber of Commerce have so em-
phasized the idea of early Christmas
shopping that the large stores decorated
as early as December 1. This natu-
rally means that the florists were bene-
fited by the early start on decorations.
The flower shops also have taken on a
Christmas look much earlier this year
and the poinsettia and other red are
much in evidence. This idea is bound
to create a better demand for our
product and we hope to feel the effect
in the next two weeks. An early start
is always a big advantage to any busi-
ness, and we can easily see how in the
past we have confinjed our business to
too short a space. The prospects for
stock are good, with the exception of
carnations, which are scarce, perhaps
more so than other years. Plants, how-
ever, are available and stock this year
looks promising. Begonias have sold
well and will no doubt be in big de-
mand for the holidays. The poinsettia
in pans is the big feature with every-
one.

Various Notes.

An unfortunate accident happened
to J. Wiese while on his way home
from the market a few days ago. As
he turned into the street with the horse
and wagon, two young fellows driving
an auto ran squarely into the horse's
head, breaking its neck and throwing
the boys some distance. As it hap-
pened, no one was hurt to any extent
except the horse, which, of course, was
killed. Mr. Wiese says it was the
closest he has ever been to cashing his
accident policy and considers it re-
markable that he was not killed.

NEW ORLEANS.

The Market.

With the advance of the season a
steady increase in business is notice-
able, especially in the demand for
choice cut flowers. Weddings, recep-
tions and an occasional big funeral
help to clean out the daily shipments of
cut flowers from out of town. In
honor of the officers of four big battle-
ships, visiting the city from November
27 to December 3, many social functions
were given, adding some extra work
for the retailers. Some of the stores
are beginning to put on their holiday
attire. Besides the elegant displays of
cut flowers, all kinds of seasonable
flowering plants are placed on view.
The supply of flowering and foliage
plants for the Christmas and New
Year's trade is about the same as in
other years. Some extra fine Petrick
azaleas and Gloire de Lorraine and Cin-
cinnati begonias can be seen.

So far there has been only a light
frost in the latter part of November,
doing no damage to outdoor flowers,
such as roses, poinsettias, sweet peas,
etc. Although the weather at present is
too warm for bulbous stock, especially
hyacinths, several growers began to cut
their Paper White narcissi December
10, cutting mostly either from bulbs
planted in boxes or in coldframes with
sash coverings.

The landscape gardeners are busy
sowing winter grass and replanting car-
pet and other summer beds with all
kinds of flowering plants for winter
and spring. Many new gardens, big
and small, have been laid out during
the year, but they consist chiefly of a
lawn and a few palms; not much money
was spent for attractive beds, either in
the foliage or flowering line.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Carrie Rehm reports a continu-
ously good business. Peter Noordam,
who has charge of her place, keeps it
always in fine shape and exceedingly
attractive.

THE MT. eiLEAD POTTERY CO., Mt. Gilead, Ohio

MOOSIC, FA.

A visit to Wm. MacDonald's exten-
sive plant shows that Mr. MacDonald
is maintaining his reputation as a
grower. His carnations, numbering 22,-
000, can all be seen with one view of
the eye; they are all tied and are stand-
ing in fine shape, and are thickly
studded with buds, equally distributed
over the large expanse. He has under
cultivation the three Enchantress vari-
eties, Dorothy Gordon, Apple Blossom,
Beacon and Harlowarden. These vari-
eties seem better suited to his soil and
conditions than any others he has ever
tried. He has about 30,000 geraniums,
a quantity of verbenas and many other
plants coming on for the spring work;
also, a host of plants for Christmas
and Easter store trade, having some
particularly well grown poinsettias,
mostly potted with ferns. Cyclamens
are coming on finely and Primula ob-
conica already is in first-class shape for
immediate marketing. He will have a
magnificent supply of azaleas for the
holiday trade and his ferns are in the
pink of condition. Mr. MacDonald has
just completed a large shed of part
wood and part glass to run his auto
truck under for loading, storing of soil
and for holding plants that are a little
advanced.

Prospects for Christmas trade are ex-
ceptionally bright; all industries and
particularly the mines are working to
their full capacity. In all probability
there is not an idle man in the Lacka-
wanna or Wyoming valleys. G, E. C.

West Park, O.— The firm of Eobt.
Kegg's Sons, conducted for years by
Eobt. J. Kegg, one of the oldest grow-
ers in Cleveland, and now by his sons
T, J. and Eobt. J., Jr., are adding 5,000
feet of glass to the present establish-
ment, comprising in all about 25,000
square feet of glass.

Hitchings
Curved Eave

fHjIGHT at the start, get it out of
"^ your mind that our Curved Eave
is an imitation or infringement of
any other Curved Eave. It abso-
lutely is not. It's an entirely dif-
ferent construction from any others.
In detail it is the same as our first
Curved Eave, which was originated
by us over nine years ago and which
was the first Flat Bafter Curved
Eave construction ever constructed
by any greenhouse builder. From
the first it was simplicity itself — to-
day it is still the same strong, neat,
light eave, entirely devoid of any
cumbersome reinforcement fittings.

It's economically adaptable for
either commercial or private green-
houses.

Send for the new catalogue, which
thoroughly explains each number as
shown on this illustration.

BOCHESTEB, N. Y.

The Market.

The trade shows signs of opening up
after the brief lull which followed the
Thanksgiving rush. Everyone is busy
getting ready for the Christmas holiday
trade and additional help is being put
on at most of the stores. Christmas
greens are coming in good shape. The
holly is probably a little better this
year than last, carrying more berries.

Mums are getting to the tail end of
the season, but a few good ones remain.
Carnations are still scarce in all va-
rieties. Koses are good, especially Kil-
larney, White Killarney, Milady,
Melody, Mrs. Aaron Ward, My Mary-
land and Lady Hillingdon. Easter
lilies are more plentiful, Callas are
scarce. Violets are good. Valley is of
good qualitj'.

Various Notes.

The West Main street store of Salter
Bros, is being repainted and will look
spick and span for the holidays. The
other night someone sneaked in over
the transom and robbed the cash regis-
ter.

George Boucher has ordered a new
automobile for delivery work. For the
Christmas trade he has a large supply
of fine poinsettias. Cincinnati begonias
and cyclamens are coming on.

H. P. Neun had a large wedding
decoration last week at the Central
Presbyterian church. H. B. Jones, of
the Jones-Kussell Co., Cleveland, O.,
made up the eight or nine bouquets.

E. C. Armbrust, formerly of J. B.
Keller Sons, is now at Springfield, Mass.

Chas. H. V'ick has been called to
serve on the trial jury. S. A.

MONTEEAL, QUE.

The Montreal Gardeners' and Flo-
rists' Club commemorated its Twenty-
fifth Anniversary at a banquet held in
Cooper's restaurant November 29. The
chair was occupied by Joseph Bennett,
of Lachine, the first president of the
club. One of the features of the even-
ing was the exhibition of Milady
rose from A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell,
Conn. Among those present were:
Walter Muston, president of the Cana-
dian Horticultural Association; Her-
mann Simmers, of Toronto, and H. B.
Cowan, of Peterboro; Messrs. J. Ben-
nett, J. Doyle, A. Wilshire, John Eddy,

You Can't Mistake a U-Bar House

This U the U-Bar
— the Bar tliat
makes U-Bar
Greenhouses the
famous Kreen-
houses they are.

The very minute you see a U-Bar you know it is a
U-Biir. It has that U-Bar light airiness about it— that
nicety of detail and perfection of finish that stamps it
as the tiaest of greenhouses. Everybody knows they
cant be equaled for growing houses, and that's what you
want houses for. Don't make the mistake of getting a
house that looks like the U-Bar; have a U-Bar and then
you know you have the best house. Glad to send you a
catalogue if you will write for it.

You can do so by simply using the SUN-

of dry air between the layers of glass
affords ample protection. No mats or other
( overing ever needed.

They let in all the light and all the heat
that the sun's rays carry. But they nerer
permit the stored heat to escape or the out-
side cold to enter.

With these sash

It IS the amKtion of every grower to be
successful^ and while considerable thought is
given to the style of greenhouse to be built,

WHAT OF THE GLASS?

There are a number of important things to be considered
in purchasing material of this kind, and as we are the largest
jobbers of greenhouse glass in the world, particular care is
taken to have the very best BRANDS of glass manufactured
shipped on each order. We have made a careful study of
this one point, having supplied some of the largest and most

In sending orders, by mail or telegraph, please be explicit in stating either length or price of
Roses wanted, as otherwise we can only use our best judgment in an exceedingly busy time and can not
afterward entertain complaints. On account of every customer calling for extra quantities of flowers at
the Holidays, we frequently find it advantageous to ship part of an order and let the balance follow on
a later train. Unless customers designate the train stock is to be shipped on, we use our best judgment
in such matters, in order that every customer may get all the flowers Re wants. No complaints enter-
tained where definite shipping instructions do not accompany the order.

THE ART OF FLOWER
^ ARRANGEMENT i^

By FRED C. W. BROWN

DOUBLE INTEREST DESIGNS.

The Standing Harp.

In the preceding articles of this series
we have restricted ourselves to the use
of the wreath, and the reason for so
doing is that the simple and propor-
tionate lines of a wreath lend them-
selves readily to the explanations we
have tried to present. Now we are
going to proceed into a little wider
field and introduce what are called
double interest designs.

By a double interest design we mean
a form such as the standing harp shown
in the illustration,
with its double sub-
ject of form and
base. In this class
of designs are in-
cluded all the stand-
ing forms, such as
wreaths and crosses
with a base, gates
ajar, broken col-
umns, etc. In these
designs we find our
artistic skill taxed to
its limit to produce
a pleasing effect, a
result that •does not
border on the gro-
tesque.

Body and Base.

If you will analyze
one of these double
interest designs you
will find they are all
composed of two
8 t r o n gly opposing
factors, the main in-
terest or body, and
the foundation or
base, as exemplified
in the picture of the
standing harp. You
will plainly see that
we have two distinct
subjects and you will
readily recognize
that the identity and
purpose of each must
be kept apparent.
Just here is where
the skill of the de-
signer is called into
play.

We have the harp
proper as our main
attraction and the
base as our direct
opposition or double interest. So let
us turn to the rules and see what is
our proper and natural course in such
an instance as this. Let us select our
rule from the book of common sense
and reason.

A Third Factor.

Where there are two strongly oppos-
ing factors, then a third factor, if
properly chosen, will almost always
unite the two into a harmonious whole.
We have identified our two factors in

Mr, Brown will be pleased to answer, as this
series of articles processes, any criticisms or
questions that may occur to his readers. The
first article of the series was printed in the issue
of October 10. The next installment will appear
in an early issue.

the harp proper and the base. As ex-
plained before, the point of greatest
opposition is the point of greatest in-
terest or attraction, so we easily recog-
nize this to be the junction point of
our two interests, and we qualify and
combine them with the cluster of lilies
as our third factor.

We have intensified this interest

point by the prominence of our lilies.
While we might have subdued it by
the use of ferns and leaves in the
background, instead of the lilies, we
would then have made the design more
objectionable by the unrelieved compli-
cation of the two interests. So we find
that, with our harp and our base dis-
tinct, we have harmonized them by the
third factor, the lilies. And by making
the cluster prominent and using it as
our connecting link, we have greatly
reduced the complicated double interest

of our design. Here, again, is where
the artist demonstrates his skill, for it
should be clear that up to the time of
placing the lily high light the work was
practically mechanical and required no
great exercise of ingenuity.

Is the Meaning Clear?

Whether we have succeeded in tell-
ing a story with our lily high light is
the question. Our desire was to tell
of a harp of flowers on a properly pro-
portioned base, with a cluster of lilies
growing up and on the harp. If our
meaning is clear to you, whether you
are educated or un-
educated in the the-
ory of art, then our
design is artistic —
more artistic, at
least, than if its two
main bodies ha-d
merely been con-
nected by the wire
support, with a piece
of smilax or green
twisted around it.

Liberty Limited by
Law.
There is undoubt-
edly room for a great
amount of contro-
versy as to the treat-
ment of these double
interest designs.
Your manner of ar-
rangement is limited
only by your ability
to originate different
methods of convey-
ing the combined
principle of the harp
on a base. The
height of your
power is reflected in
the pleasing effect
you produce by your
finished article. Your
ways and means are
almost unlimited, but
there are one or two
essential features
that you must not
forget. Remember
that you are making
a harp ON a base,
not a harp AND a
base, and you may
thus avoid two of
the most common
faults.

Two Mistakes.

As already intimated, sometimes the
two distinct interests are well and care-
fully arranged, but there is no attempt
made to harmonize them. The propor-
tion is pleasing, but the harp stands
clear of the base and is connected only
by a thin wire, partly concealed with
ferns, but giving the design, viewed
at the distance of a few feet, the ap-
pearance of ' * Mohammed 's coffin, ' ' sus-
pended in midair.

two interests run. togetiier so closely
as to obscure the identity of either
one. They must have relative and pro-
portionate value; they must be simple
and distinct and show reason for their
existence.

There must be harmony between
them, both in proportionate value and
in color.

The Final Test.

If, when you have finished your de-
sign, a Child just old enough to recog-
nize the meaning of the main form, or
a grown person uneducated in the prin-
ciples of art, looks at your work and
says, "It is a pretty harp of flowers,
with lilies growing up and on it," and
if you have pleased the eye with color
and proportion and left a pleasant, last-
ing impression, then the chances are
ninety-nine in a hundred that you have
been artistic and that your work will
stand the closest scrutiny of those
versed in the accepted theories of the
schools of art.

We shall deal further with these
double interest and large designs in
our next installment.

BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS.

Frankfort, Ky. — With reference to
the assignment of Louis D. Singer, al-
ready reported in The Review, the
following announcement has been is-
sued by D. L. Hazelrigg, the assignee:
"Pursuant to orders of court, I will
on December 20, 1912, at the Court-
house door at Frankfort, Ky., sell' the
greenhouse stock, plants and fixtures
to the highest and best bidder."

Wisbech, England.— J. W. Cross, bulb
and seed merchant, recently laid his
affairs before his creditors, with the
result that a deed of assignment was
executed. The statement showed lia-
bilities of approximately $43,000 and
assets of $13,300. The chairman of
the meeting said he had always found
Mr. Cross straightforward, although a
somewhat optimistic and sanguine
man. He thought it said a great deal
for him that he made no claim on
behalf of his wife, but put the whole

matter in their hands. The only thing
they could do-jstas to try to realize the
estate to the best benefit they could.
These remarks were generally endorsed.
Mr. Cross is a brother of Eli Cross, a
florist at Grand Eapids, Mich.

Chicago, HI. — Last week a petition for
the appointment of a receiver was filed
by Koropp, Inc., of which Leopold
Koropp is the head, and the County

Parcel Post Zones and Postage Rates from Chicago

ac

From the official map of the postoffice department. The rates here shown are from Chicago only. There is a different map
for each of the 5,803 units into which the United States has heen divided by the parcel post bureau. Each postoffice is the center
of the smallest circle on the map to be used in that town. B]ach postmaster will soon be supplied with a map and parcel post
guide showing the rate to every other postoffice.

The law specifies that "this act shall not in any way affect the postage rate on seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants
as fixed by section 482 of the Postal Laws and Regulations," the rate for which has been and still will be 1 cent for each two
ounces, but the limit in weight will, after January 1 , be eleven pounds, instead of four pounds, as in the past.

THE PASCEL POST.

It Will Be Here in Twelve Days.

The Postoffice Department has issued
the regulations for the starting of the
parcel post January 1, but they had
not become available at the Chicago
postoffice up to December 18, except
in part, so that the details are more or
less incomplete reports from Washing-
ton.

The regulations provide that parcels
of merchandise, including farm and
factory products (but not books and
printed matter) of almost every de-
scription up to eleven pounds in weight
and measuring as much as six feet in
length and girth combined, except those
calculated to do injury to the mails in
transit, may be maUed at any postoffice
for delivery to any address in the
country. Delivery will be made to the
homes of people living on rural and
star routes as well as those living in
cities and towns where there is delivery
by carrier. Where there is at present
no delivery by carrier the parcels will
go to the postoffices as is the case with
ordinary mail.

fourth class, or merchandise, will be
handled.

Perishable articles such as butter,
lard, fruits, berries, and dressed fowls
may be sent short distances. Eggs for
local delivery when packed in contain-
ers may be sent. When packed sepa-
rately they may be sent any distance.
Fresh meats may be sent only in the
first zone (fifty miles). There are no
restrictions on salted, dried, or cured
meats or fish.

Millinery, toys, musical instruments,
glassware and breakable goods must be
securely packed and marked "fragile."

The following may not be sent: In-
toxicating liquors of all kinds; poisons;
poisonous animals, insects or reptiles;
explosives of every kind; inflammable
articles, including matches; infernal
machines; pistols or revolvers, disease
germs, any obscene, defamatory or
scurrilous matter now prohibited by
law; live or dead animals, or birds or
live poultry; raw hides or pelts; or
anything having a bad odor.

Books and printed matter are in-
cluded in third class and may not be
sent.

The weight limit will be eleven
pounds.

To find the size limit: Take a piece
of string 72 inches long and wind it
once completely around the parcel and
then across the top lengthways. If
the ends of the string reach the sides of
the parcel it comes under the limit.

Parcels must be mailed at the post-
officia or branches and special stamps
must be used.

Delivery will be made of parcels the
same as of other matter.

Maps and guides will be supplied by
the chief clerk of the postoffice depart-
ment, Washington, D. C, at the cost
price of 75 cents for both. The price
of the guide is 55 cents and map 20

cents. Neither is necessary, however,
as in postoffices special clerks will at-
tend to computing the rates for those
who wish to mail parcels.

Effect on Our Trade.

Apparently the parcel post will not
be the important factor to florists,
seedsmen and nurserymen that it will
be to others. Florists may send cut
flowers by parcel post, but catalogues,
bulbs, plants, roots and seeds take the

old rates, which in certain instances are
more favorable than the new parcel
post rates and in other instances less
favorable.

The postoffice has made compara-
tively little preparation for handling
the increased bulk of mail; the task
was too great and the needs too uncer-
tain. Therefore the department will
simply go ahead and do the best it can,
meeting the new conditions as they
arise.

^ SEASONABLE ^
i ^ SUGGESTIONS j

Lilies for Easter.

There should now be considerable
bare bench space, with the Christmas
flowering plants out of the way, and
just as soon as possible the plants re-
quired for Easter should be housed or
given more space on the benches. It
as well to remember that Easter, 1913,
•comes at an unusually early date, and
.just three months now remain in which
to grow and flower the stock. Lilies
should be given immediate attention,
■and if you are growing Harrisii or
Formosa lilies and they are six inches
'high, they are all right, and in a night
temperature of 60 degrees will be in
season. In the case of multiflorums and
giganteums, if the growths are three
to four inches high you are all right if
.you can give them a warm house.
Where, however, they are just showing
•above the ground, or not up at aU, they
must have 65 degrees at night to have
them on time.

In the case of giganteums, the most
popular of the Easter lilies as a pot
plant, let them have your warmest
house and hold the minim'um up to 65
degrees. Do not water the plants too
freely until the pots are full of roots,
but spray freely. Also syringe with
nicotine or some suitable insecticide
for aphis, rather than scatter tobacco
dust in the tops of the growths, as is
often done. It will take considerable*
moving around to flower the plants all
together. Growers know that bulbs of
the same batch will bloom weeks or
months apart, but the careful grower
knows how to push the laggards and
hold back the early ones.

Dutch Bulbs.

The bulk of Dutch bulbs will now be
pushing through the flats or pots and
quite a few will be in condition for
forcing. Not for many years have trum-
pet narcissi of the French type ap-
peared so early as they have this sea-
son, and there will be a good supply of
these for Christmas, both Golden Spur
and Trumpet Major. If the Dutch stock
of these two popular daffodils is not
yet housed, get it in at once. These
can go into a temperature of 60 degrees
in full light. Tulips, on the other hand,
are liable to be short-stemmed unless
drawn up in a dark, warm case for some
days. Such a case as is used for forc-
ing valley is just what they like. The
earliest sorts, such as White Hawk and
Lia Reine, should be brought in now.
jSuch varieties as Keizerskroon, Belle

Alliance, etc., will be better in cool
quarters a little longer. Of the poly-
anthus narcissi the variety Soleil d'Or
has been in flower with us for ten days
and can be had in quantity for Christ-
mas. It forces more easilj than Grand
Monarque. Give all the polyanthus sec-
tion a brisk heat in order to draw up
the stems. Do not try forcing any of
the Dutch hyacinths until they have
growths two to three inches long, and
then keep them dark and warm to
lengthen them up. Be careful when
watering not to pour any water over
the flower spikes, as the buds in the
early stages damp easily.

Poinsettias.

Be sure not to sell out the poinsettia
plants so closely that insufficient stock
will be left to propagate from for next
season. Plants with poor foliage
should be reserved, as there will be no

great credit in even trying to sell such.
The plants can be shaken out of the
pots and pans, when such bracts have
been cut as are needed, and stored in
flats in a dry, frostproof shed for the
next three months or more. Or, if pre-
ferred, lay the plants on their sides
below the benches where they will not
get too much drip. This latter method
is the easiest, but the most slovenly to
adopt.

If you have not yet tried the double
scarlet poinsettia, plenissima, secure
some stock. It is a little later than the
type, but builds up a fine center and
sells well. This is not at all a new
thing, as it was common thirty or more
years ago. It is, however, a good va-
riety to stock up on. The so-called
white variety is not wanted by anyone,
and the pink one, while it sells in a
limited way as a novelty, is not of the
color wanted at Christmas.

Oyclamens.

Many of the flowering plants will
now be disposed of. Such cyclamens as
are unsold after the holidays can, if
necessary, be held until Easter in a cold
house. A better plan, however, is to
try to clean them up before that time.
They are good selling plants right
through the winter and, if well flow-
ered, there will not be much trouble in
disposing of them.

The young cyclamen plants which are
to flower a year hence will want some
attention now. Never allow them to
become potbound. Always give small
shifts. Use some leaf-mold, not too
much decayed, with the loam, and
plenty of sand. Give them an average
night temperature of 55 degrees.
Scratch away any scum from them,
whether in pots or flats, and keep them
as close to the glass as possible. They
should then make progress such as will
please you.

SWEET PEAS IN AI*ABAMA.

We have prepared eleven sweet pea
rows, each fifty-two and one-half feet
long. Will you please tell us how much
seed to buyf We want to grow pink
and white. Give us the names of a good
pink and white, such as produce large
flowers. Is February 1 too early to sow
them here, in central Alabama? How
deep should the furrows be made when
planting, and how far apart should the
vines stand in the row?

E. O. & H. A. C.

The sooner sweet peas are sown after
frost has left the ground, the better.
If your ground is open on or about Feb-
ruary 1, it will be well to sow them at
once. For a pink, Countess Spencer is
still the leading commercial variety.
There is one novelty, Hercules, of sim-
ilar color, but with bigger, bolder flow-

ers, which will probably displace it in
a year or two, but the seed is expensive
yet. For white, Nora Unwin is better
than Dorothy Eckford or White
Spencer. If you have a call for laven-
der, try Frank Dolby.

Cover the seeds two to two and one-
half inches after sowing and do not
follow the practice often recommended,
of pulling the soil up to the plants as
they grow, as this produces stem-rot
and other troubles. Get supports in
early and keep the soil between the
rows well cultivated. Before the flow-
ering season commences, mulch well
between the rows with old manure,
straw, grass or some other material.
This will keep the soil moist and the
roots cooler.

Do not sow too thickly; or, if you do,
be sure to thin out the plants so that
they will not stand any closer than

four inches apart each way in the rows.
Use an ounce of seed to twenty-five
feet of drill. This will give you all the
plants needed. Sweet pea seed will be
scarce the coming season and it would
be well to purchase your supply early.
In order to get an extra early crop, in
advance of the outdoor sown ones, you
can start some in pots, using three
seeds to a 4-inch pot. Stand these in
a coldframe. Sow them about a month
ahead of your outdoor ones. When
three or four inches high, plant them
out a foot apart in the rows. This may
seem thin at the outset, but you will
find that they will branch out. surpris-
ingly and soon fill the rows. The
secrets of successful sweet pea culture
are: Thorough preparation of the
ground, early sowing, getting supports
in quickly, liberal mulching, watering
in dry weather and careful removal
of flowers and seed pods. C. W.

Justice Louis W. Marcus in Supreme
Court December 13 directed the jury
to find in favor of the plaintiff in the
action brought by William J. Palmer
•S. Son, to compel the state nursery
authorities to make an appraisal of and
payment for a consignment of azaleas
flestroyed last year by state inspectors,
alleging they were infested with gypsy
and brown-tail moths. Appeal will be

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.

At the December meeting of the
Minneapolis Florists' Club Theodore
•^irth was appointed by President W. D.
tJosmond as chairman of the executive
^ommittee for the convention of the
'• A. F., to be held here next August.
Qs Mr. Wirth is vice-president of the
^- A. F., the selection of his committee

was left to his choice, resulting in the
following members being appointed:
Theodore Wirth, chairman; Hugh Will,
C. N. Ruedlinger, W. D. Desmond, C. F.
Rice. The first meeting was held De-
cember 10 at Mr. Wirth 's residence and
subsidiary committees were appointed.
A second meeting was held December 15
at the same place and this meeting saw
good headway made for caring for this
great coming event.

MOBOEN AND HIS MUMS.

Peter Morgen, of Huntingburg, Ind.,
is one of those growers who simply de-
lights in his work, and of course, as in
all such cases, success attends his every
effort. Beauties are his specialty and
he never fails to have good quality and
a steady cut. This year his Christmas
crop is even a little better than usual.
He also grows carnations and Killarneys
with equal success. The accompanying
illustration shows him standing in a
house of W. H. Chadwick and Golden
Chadwick that was cut out for Thanks-
giving.

Mr. Morgen is his own builder and
steam-fitter; he thinks it is almost as
much fun to build and pipe a greenhouse
as to run one. His special pride is his
heating plant, installed with the More-
head double trap system; he asserts his
belief that for eflScient and economical
heating his outfit is not to be beaten.

OLEN COVE, N. Y.

The annual meeting of the Nassau
County Horticultural Society was held
at Pembroke hall, Glen Cove, Wednes-
day, December 11, with a large attend-
ance. President Johnston in the chair.
The most important business transacted
was the election of oflBcers for the
coming year. E. J. Brown, who has
been treasurer of this society for a

number of years, was unanimously
elected president. Other oflBcers are as
follows: Vice-president, James Mac-
Carthy; recording secretary, E. West-
lake; corresponding secretary, J. Mac-
Donald; treasurer, S. J. Trepess; trus-
tee, J. F. Johnston. It was decided to
hold the annual dinner January 23.
The committee of arrangements con-
sists of Messrs. Trepess, Everett and
Johnston. Mrs. H. M. Adams, Glen
Cove, was elected an honorary member.
Four were elected to active membership
and three petitions received. The treas-
urer's report showed a good financial
standing.

Prizes were oflfered for poinsettias,
carnations and violets. The winners
were O. Bjorkgreen, V. Cleres and Alex.
MacKenzie. H. Gaut was awarded a
certificate of culture for a fine collec-
tion of vegetables and V. Cleres a cer-
tificate of culture for seedling toma-
toes. Prizes are offered for eighteen
carnations, twenty-five sprays of
freesias, fifty violets, and six tomatoes
at the January meeting. J. M.

The Market.

Trade has been heavy, with stock
rather scarce in most cases. There has
been an abundance of funeral work of
late, which has used up a great deal of
stock. Christmas stock is coming on
finely and the indications are that there
will be a fair cut of carnations in most
of the houses. Roses are fine and have
met with ready sale. The crop of car-
nations thus far has been lighter than
last season, even with all the bright
weather we have had, and the growers
can not account for it. Last season
was quite cloudy the greater part
of the early winter and still there was
considerably more stock cut.

a few calls; some cnstomers can not
reali;^ they are gone. Narcissi are
coming in quite strongly aiid find ready
sale. There will be quite a few of them
in for Christmas. Romans are more
plentiful and help to fill in nicely.
Sweet peas are more abundant and the
demand is good. Violets are coming
in quite heavily and are generally
cleaned up. Stevia has been quite a
seller of late and some growers have
moved quantities of it.

Pot plants for Christmas will be
good. Some extra good Cincinnati be-
gonias are to be seen. Azaleas are ex-
cellent and in quite good supply. Cy-
clamens also are in fine shape and are
always good sellers and easy to handle.
Some exceptional poinsettias are to be
seen and should bring the top-notch
price. Christmas decorations are mov-
ing about as usual, with prices about
the same as last season.

Various Notes.

E. Metzmaier reports business good,
handling about the usual quantity of
trees, etc.

Graff Bros, say things are moving
nicely and expect a good Christmas
trade.

C. A. Eoth reports things about right
for the time of year.

The Art Floral Co. has rented a room
almost directly across from the store
and is handling quite a lot of Christ-
mas trees and decorations.

Livingston's reports good business in
all lines at the present time.

The Munk Floral Co. is all lined up
with Christmas goods.

G. H. Woodrow, of the Fifth Avenue
Floral Co., is on the mend. All his
friends are glad of that much, but
would rather see him pick up a good
deal faster than he is doing.

Another new flower store has opened,
under the name of the Ohio Cut Flower
Co. It is in the Mebs Drug Co. store.

The Southwestern Market.

The market last week had plenty of
everything daily. The wholesalers com-
plained somewhat the last three days
in the week, for stock moved slowly.
The weather was clear and warm and
this brought out the cut stock in large
quantities. The retail business was re-
ported only fair, but the retailers are
kept busy preparing for Christmas.
Holly and ground pine seem to be plen-
tiful this year. The supply depart-
ments, at "the wholesale houses, were
kept busy all the week with shipping
orders and the local demand. With the
Christmas holidays close at hand, there
is much speculation as to the supply of
cut stock and prices. A great deal de-
pends upon the weather and, if it keeps
up as it has been, there is every indica-
tion that there will be plenty of every-
thing in season. Blooming plants will
of course be in great (iemand. The
show houses of the west end florists
are loaded down with plants of every
description.

At the wholesale houses I saw a splen-
did lot of carnations. These are now
on in full crop and a large cut is ex-
pected for this and next week, with
prices for Christmas not oveV 8 cents
for extra choice. There are still a
few good mums coming in, but this
week will about see the end of them.
Boies are coming in fine quantities.

KUlarney is somewhat off color, but
the other varieties are in splendid
color. Long, fancy Beauties are not
any too numerous. Shorts are coming in
with the bulk of them bulls. Violets
are coming in much better now and
quite a large cut is looked for this
week, at $1 per hundred for the best.
Romans and Paper Whites are up to
the demand at present. There is also
a lot of extra good valley and Easter
lilies, both of which have a slow de-
mand. There is a good market for
greens of all kinds and there seems to
be plenty for the demand. . .

DON'T MISS IT

attraction was the presence of Richard
Vincent, Jr., president of the Society
of American Florists. The meeting
opened at 2 o'clock. President Weber
was reported sick and Vice-president
Charles Young presided over the meet-
ing. R. J. Windier, chairman of the
publicity committee, read a report of
the work being done, after which a
publicity fund was started by the club
and members and in a short time quite
a sum was subscribed, the club heading
the list with $50. Alex. Siegel made
application for membership and the
following applicants were elected:
Adolph Jaenicke, Albert J. Windier,
Oliver K. Sanders and Frank X. Gorly.
Resolutions were presented by J. F.
Ammann on the death of Francis Fill-
more, which were adopted and spread
on the minutes.

The Chicago Carnation Co. staged a
fine vase of its new red carnation, The
Herald, which was much admired by
all and scored eighty-seven points.

The presiding officer presented Mr.
Vincent to the members and for an
hour he spoke of affiliation, publicity
and S. A. F. matters and made a great
impression.

Adolph Jaenicke, superintendent of
the Missouri Botanical Garden, invited
the club to meet at the garden twice
a year. The invitation was accepted.

The oldest member of the dub, Luther
Armstrong, was reported sick and the I
club ordered a box of flowers sent him j
each week. A vote of thanks was ex- j
tended to . Mr. Vincent and Mr. Jaen-
icke for their entertainment during the
meeting. The next meeting of the
club will take place January 9, 1913.

The Shaw Banquet.

The twenty-third annual banquet
given by the Missouri Botanical Gar-
den, in accordance with the will of the
late Henry Shaw, to gardeners, florists
and nurserymen, took place at the
Washington hotel, Friday evening, De-
cember 13. The Florists' Club was in-
vited and nearly fifty members at-
tended. The guest of the evening was
Richard Vincent, Jr. After a splen-
did repast, Mr. Vincent was introduced
by Dr. George Moore, director of the
garden. The affair differed somewhat
from the previous banquets. In all 130
guests were present and Dr. Moore
acted as toastmaster. There being no
speakers, the toastmaster called upon
Mr. Vincent, who gave illustrated talks
on the London fiower show and the
Holland bulb industry, both of which
were most pleasing and instructive. At
the conclusion Dr. Moore called for a
rising vote of thanks to Mr. Vincent
for the evening's entertainment.

Various Notes.

Richard Vincent, Jr., presidpnt of the
S. A. F., and accompanied by Mrs. Vin-
cent, .spent two days in St. Louis last
week. They arrived Wednesday night,
from Cincinnati, and were entertained
by the Florists' Club on Tuesday and
by the directors of the Missouri Botan-
ical Garden on Friday.

John Michelsen, representing E. C.
Amling Co., Chicago,' spent Saturday,
December 14, calling on the local trade.

George Madsen, head of the Alton
Floral Co., says his concern will build
a large show house and store. This
company will have to vacate its pres-
ent quarters early next year.

Fred H. Weber has bought a new
home on Berlin avenue, into which he
moved his family last week.

The new home of F. C. Weber, Jr.,
is almost completed and he will move
his family into it after the first of the
year.

The growers of the south end have
some fine blooming plants for Christ-
mas. Wm. Schray & Sons have a great
lot of poinsettias; Charles Beyer, aza-
leas, and John Held, cyclamens.

The Ladies' Home Circle will start
the new year with twelve members.
They are the Mesdames F. C. Weber,
Sr., F. C. Weber, Jr., John Steidle, A.
Meyer, Geo. Windier, J. J. Beneke,
Theo. Miller, H. G. Berning, F. W.
Bruenig, Otto Koenig, J. Koenig and
E. Schray. They will hold monthly
gatherings at each member 's home dur-
ing the year.

W. J. Pilcher, the originator of the
Mazzura violet, says that he expects
to be in full crop for Christmas. His
crop and that of R. Wolfsberger, his
brother-in-law, are both consigned to
the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co.

Phil and Geo. Goebel, of Kirkwood,
have had a big success this season
growing chrysanthemum cut blooms for
this market. They will go into it on a
larger scale next season.

The accompanying illustration is re-
produced from a photograph of a bed
of King Humbert cannas which reached
a height of about ten feet, bordered by
Florence Vaughan, then bordered with
red and yellow coleus, such standard
varieties as Firefly and Golden Bedder,
and finally outside these a border of
dwarf ageratum. The bed was thirty
feet in diameter and was probably the
most beautiful flower bed of its kind in
the vicinity.

The work was only one-tenth of what
Harry Quint did last June at Eeservoir
Court, Brookline, Mass.

NEWPORT, R. I.

Benjamin CuU, formerly gardener on
the Zabriskie estate, has gone to Gal-
veston, Tex., where he will go into busi-
ness for himself.

H. L. De Blois reports unusually
heavy calls for Christmas greens of all
kinds.

Considerable new building is to be
done this spring on the estate of Mrs.
French Vanderbilt. This will include
a greenhouse on Harrison avenue, to
cost $3,500.

Good progress is being made on the
construction of the greenhouses on Par-
Iter avenue for H. A. C. Taylor. One
house will be used exclusively for gar-
denias and roses; the second as a
Rrapery and the third for propagation.
There will also be a boiler house and
))otting house.

The last year for the Newport Horti-
'ultural Society was a good one, ac-
<;ording to the reports submitted by the
'Officers and committees at the annual
meeting, held December 10. The mem-
l*ership now numbers 145. During the
meeting Andrew J. Dorward, James
Robertson and C. M. Bugholt were
fiwarded cups for scoring the most

points upon exhibits at the society's
meetings during the year. The election
of officers resulted as follows: Presi-
dent, Andrew S. Meikle; first vice-presi-
dent, William Mackay; second vice-
president, John B. Urquhart; secretary,
Daniel J. Coughlin; financial secretary,
William Gray; treasurer, Andrew Mc-
Mahon; sergeant-at-arms, William F.
Smith. These officers, with Bichard
Gardiner, Alex MacCleUan, John T. Al-
lan, C. M. Bugholt, Bruce Butterton,
James Bond, James Boyd and James
Bobertson, constitute the executive com-
mittee.

Several new greenhouses are in con-
templation for the Stewart Bitchie
place. W. H. M.

PITTSBUBOH.

The Market.

Pittsburgh has been having some real
winter weather. The mercury has been
down to 12 degrees, with a few snow
flurries and a strong wind. This has
caused a diminishing of the coal pile
and will probably take up any surplus
profits that may be made at Christmas.

Trade from the wholesale standpoint
has been good, taking everything avail-
able at fair prices and giving a clean-up
every day. The retailers also are quite
busy. Trade until within the last few
days has been so heavy that there was
no opportunity to get Christmas stock
ready, but all hands are now busy mak-
ing up the many novelties that bring
the dollars later. After watching the
Christmas business for years, I believe
one can sell almost any old thing at
Christmas if it only has some green and
red in it and the price asked is not too
high.

The supply men have done better
this year than ever before, and by
Christmas they wUl most likely be en-
tirely cleaned up on everything that
can be classed as Christmas goods.

The growers seem to have some cause
for complaint, at least as far as carna-
tions are concerned, and it is said that
the trouble seems general. The houses

of carnations are in fine shape, with
wonderful crops of buds that look as if
they were ready to open, but still from
day to day the cut seems to get less
instead of greater. No sufficient rea-
son seems to be given. The plants are
fine, but there is some ' ' cussedness ' ' in
the general conditions which seems to
hold them back, and the outlook is for
a shortage of carnations at Christmas.
Everything else is reported satisfac-
tory, and if there are not enough carna-
tions they will have to sell something
else. Plantsmen are doing a nice busi-
ness. The usual display of Christmas
trees, holly and other Christmas greens
is on the market at all kinds of prices
and in all kinds of quality. The gen-
eral business is good and everyone ex-
pects the holiday trade to be a record-
breaker.

Varions Notes.

The new carnation, Northport, from
James D. Cockcroft, Northport, L. I.,
sent to the meeting of the Florists'
Club, came one day late and is still on
exhibition at the store of the Pitts-
burgh Cut Flower Co. It is almost two
weeks since it was shipped and it is
really in fair condition still. It is a
large flower of good form, and has a
good calyx, stem and color. With its
fine keeping quality, it should be a
good addition to our carnation stock.

There has been an epidemic of some
sort going the rounds of the flower
shops, for almost every firm has had a
couple of invalids on their hands, but
all are getting back except Earl Tip-
ton, who has some boils that are caus-
ing him much inconvenience.

The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. has a
house of orchids that are a fine show
now and will give a big Christmas cut.

E. C. Ludwig turned his home over
to the people who escaped the fire in
the big apartment house that was
burned December 13. Many of them had
little more than their night robes to
protect them, and his was the nearest
house they could get into. Many of the
women were carried down the ladders
by the firemen.

STBAWS.

There is one unfailing test of the ad-
vertising value of a periodical. It is
found in the results the advertisers get.
But a second test scarcely less infallible
is the standing a publication has with
its readers. It pays to advertise in a
publication that is bought to read. So
here are some extracts from recent sub-
scription letters:

I will say that The Reylew Is to the florists'
world what Easter Is to the florist's pocketbook.
— HarTey Cotton, Brigbton, Mass., December 9,
1912.

You oen count on me as a subscriber as long as
The Review keeps in the front, which will mean
as loner as I am in the business. I simply cannot
get alone without the paper. — H. P. Loding,
Mobile, Ala., December 4, 1912.

While I am writing I want to tell you that
you have THE PAPER. I want specially to com-
mend your articles on "Art in Flower Arrange-
ment" by Mr. Brown. — William Walker, Louis-
ville, Ky., December 9, 1912.

But results — those are what count.
Solicitors may talk themselves black in
the face, but it is the mail orders that
convince.

ad In The Review and another season shall use
your columns more extensively.-.— Charles F.
Uecke, New London, Wis., December 12, 1912.

We shall not need another Insertion of our
Christmas advertisement. The results have been
perfectly satisfactory. — Evenden Bros., Williams-
port, Pa., December 14, 1912.

I am all sold out of araucarlas and have already
moved quite some ferns as a result of my little
classified advertisements. I thank you for your
assistance.— C. B. Abeele, Chicago, 111., Decem-
ber 16, 1912.

Our advertisement of desert holly in The Re-
view seems to have worked three shifts of eight
hours each every day. It has brought us all the
business we can handle. The Review certainly
has been a trade getter for us. — The O. A. Kim-
ball Co., Goldfield, Nev., December 2, 1912.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Not in a long time has the market
been so bare of cut flowers as for the
last few days. Whether this is due to
plants being off crop, or flowers being
held back in anticipation of higher
prices nearer Christmas, is hard to tell.
Roses are coming into their own at last
and are selling well. There is a tolerably
good cut of all varieties and prices are
quite a little higher. Beauties and Rus-
sells are, of course, bringing the highest
prices, and best quality flowers will
reach the dollar mark for the holidays.
Richmond is coming of superb quality,
with stems equal to the finest Beauties.
Such Sunburst as arrive bring fancy
prices. Killarney, Killarney Queen,
Prince de Bulgarie, Ward, Hillingdon
and Radiance are all of excellent qual-
ity, selling from $4 up to $16 and $20
for select stock.

There has been a marked shortage in
carnations and prices have ruled high.
It looks as if a good deal of pickled
stock would, as usual, appear before
Christmas. Violets are also scarce.
Growers report plants producing poorly
and opening slowly. Sweet peas are in-
sufficient for the demands. Valley has
been selling well, but quite a little ar-
riving is of inferior quality. Cut poin-
settias are quoted from $2 to $6 per

NEW PRESIDENT BOSTON
GARDENERS' AND FLORISTS' CLUB

\7iIIiam J. Kennedy.

THE Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club has an "award of merit" which it
uses wherever it will do good. The election of William J. Kennedy as its
president for 1913 is such an award, as Mr. Kennedy has been vice-president and
presiding officer during 1912. The illness which necessitated the retirement of
President Pegler brought him to the chair, which he has filled so acceptably that
now he can say, as did T. R. one November evening in 1904, "My dear, I am
no longer president by accident."

dozen. Lilium longifiorum has been in
good demand. In the way of bulbous
flowers, Roman hyacinths and Paper
White narcissi are abundant. Small
lots of French Trumpet majors arrive,
also Soleil d'Or narcissi. Freesia in
small lots comes from several growers.
Cattleyas are rather scarce. Some
Trianse have appeared, although labi-
ata is still seen, as well as Percivaliana.
Gardenias are in shorter supply. In the
way of miscellaneous flowers, stevia is
abundant. Small lots of wallflower, an-
nual lupines, Barberton daisies, and for-
get-me-nots are seen. The latter sell
well at 50 cents per small bunch.
Marguerites are still small and short-
stemmed. Snapdragons are being mostly
held for next week. There has been an
excellent demand for asparagus, smilax
and ferns. Specialists in holiday greens
are rushed to the limit and report a
heavier demand than ever.

In pot plants trade is active and the
leading specialists are already pretty
well cleaned out. The leaders are cycla-
mens, poinsettias, azaleas, ardisias and
Cincinnati begonias. The old Lorraines
will not bring the same prices as Cin-

cinnati and will be less in evidence
here another season.

Club Meeting.

The annual meeting for the election
of officers brought out an excellent at-
tendance December 17. The results of
the balloting were as follows:

President — W. J. Kennedy.

Vice-president — H. H. Bartsch.

Secretary — W. N. Craig.

Treasurer — Peter Fisher.

Executive committee — P. M. Miller,
W. J. Patterson, W. C. Rust, R. S.
Edgar.

Four new members were elected.
While the ballots were being counted
Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham, en-
tertained the club with an account of
his recent trip to the Panama canal
zone. William Downs, for the commit-
tee on landscape classes, reported an
auspicious start, meetings being held
on each Tuesday evening except on club
nights, when they are held on Wednes-
day. The committee on publicity re-
ported progress.

Exhibits of the evening included two

pink carnation seedlings from Little-
field & Wyman, Carnation Princess Dag-
mar from M. A. Patten & Co., mixed
carnations from Thomas ColeS; and be-
gonias, cyclamens and double poinset-
tias from E. & J. Farquhar & Co.

Frank Putnam was reported as con-
valescing from an acute attack of
pneumonia.

Installation of officers will occur Jan-
uary 28, the hall being rented for the
regular day, January 21.

Various Notes.

S. J. Goddard, of Framingham, has a
heavy crop of carnations for the holi-
days. He prefers White Perfection to
White Wonder, but grows both sorts.
Benora, Gloriosa, Bosette and Pink De-
light are all doing remarkably well
with him. St. Nicholas is slow in com-
ing into crop. He marketed fine freesia
as early as December 10.

A. A. Pembroke, of North Beverly,
grew 35,000 carnations, all on solid
beds. He has Pink Delight with 42-inch
stems, which shows how this variety
thrives with him. Gloriosa and White
Wonder are also remarkably good.

John Barr, of South Natick, has one
of the neatest establishments in New
England. He used to grow cyclamens
and hydrangeas, but difficulty in send-
ing pot plants to market forced him to
drop their culture until now he grows
carnations exclusively. He benches
about 35,000 and they are a veritable
thicket of flowers and buds. The new
variegated, Mrs. B. P. Cheney, is con-
tinuing its good record. Pink Delight,
White Wonder, Beacon and others are
all equally good.

W. E. Nicholson, of Framingham, has
a great holiday crop of carnations. Es-
pecially fine are Benora, Pocahontas,
White Wonder, Gloriosa, Pink Delight,
Eosette and Golden Eay. St. Nicholas
so far is rather slow. He will have
some thousands of Purity freesia for
Christmas. His first were cut Decem-
ber 10. He is also getting a nice crop
of forget-me-nots and marguerites. He
has dropped Mrs. Sander marguerite,
preferring Queen Alexandra.

W. H. Ward, of Montvale, is sending
in good Benora, Pink Delight, Gloriosa
and White Wonder carnations, also for-
get-me-nots and sweet peas.

J. Streiferd & Son, of Weymouth,
are dispensing of a heavy cut of pink
and white Killarney and Eichmond
roses.

Mann Bros., of Eandolph, will have
some thousands of French Golden Spur
narcissi for Christmas. They have a
heavy daily cut of longiflorum. Paper
Whites and Eomans.

E. P. Peterson, of Saxonville, is send-
ing to W. A. Hastings some good Lep-
tosyne maritima, an excellent annual
for winter forcing, also snapdragons,
forget-me-nots and a good assortment
of carnations.

Samuel Neil, of Dorchester, has a fine
lot of azaleas for the holiday trade. He
has increased his plantings of asparagus
and has a good carnation crop. His
home trade uses up all his flowers and
plants.

W. B. Cobb, of Canton, was first in
the market with wallflowers. He is also
sending single violets and carnations
to D. F, Lamy.

Penn, on Bromfield street, is featur-
ing artificial flowers heavily, having a
vacant store near his regular store en-
Hrely devoted to them.

W. A. Eiggs, of Auburndale, had

NEW PRESIDENT OF THE

NEW YORK FLORISTS* CLUB

William H. Siebrecht.

THE president of the New York Florists' Club for 1913, the National Flower
Show year, is one of the wheel horses. Two days after Christmas he will
become 60 years of age — he has been a grower at Astoria, L. L, for upwards of
thirty-seven years. He has been conspicuously successful as a forcer of bulbous
flowers, especially valley, and of acacia. A leader in the community as well as in
the trade these many years, he will prove an able administrator of the affairs
of the club during what promises to be the most important year in its long and
honorable record.

ering plants a week before the holiday.
Cyclamens, poinsettias, azaleas and
nephrolepis are his specialties. He says
Glory of Cincinnati begonia will push
Lorraine to the wall.

The store of Welch Bros. Co., on
Devonshire street, is one of the busiest
spots in the city at present. The de-
mand for holiday greens breaks all pre-
vious records, and cut flower trade is
also booming.

William W. Elliott is cutting un-
usually fine Killarney, White Killarney,
Eichmond, Ward and Christie Miller
roses from his Madbury establishment.

Thomas A. Cox, of Dorchester, is
strong on longiflorums just now.

The W. W. Edgar Co. reports sales of
Christmas plants as away ahead of all
previous records.

Arthur Griffin, of Woburn, is one
of our most expert carnation growers
and his flowers are always cleaned up
quickly. Extra fine with him this sea-
son are Pink Delight, Beacon, White
Wonder and Winsor.

Frank Macdonald says F. J. Dolansky
is cutting a fine lot of gardenias, as well
as a splendid lot of cattleyas.

John McFarland, of North Easton, is
well sold out of poinsettias, of which

he had several thousands. He has a
fine daily cut of lily of the valley, also
Cypripedium insigne.

Henry M. Eobinson & Co. are in the
height of their Christmas rush and have
a large force working practically night
and day to keep abreast of orders.

W. N. Craig.

GLASS ADVANCES AGAIN.

There was a notable meeting of man-
ufacturers of window glass at Pitts-
burgh last week, at which there was
discussion of trade conditions, result-
ing in a decision to again advance
prices, this time practically ten per
cent, effective December 21.

The new price will put glass almost
exactly fifty per cent above the low
price of a year ago. Those who know
the glass industry, and whose word
usually is accepted at par, say that at
the low prices of last year the factories
were not able to operate except at a
loss and that, considering the advance
in wages that had to be paid this sea-
son, the present prices leave no more
than a narrow margin. Also, they say
that conditions in the glass trade are

The Florists' Review

such as to make any recession in prices
highly improbable; the market is fairly
bare, demand good, production not
large and the season short. Steady if
not advancing prices are looked for
up to the time of starting up again
next fall, which is farther ahead than
one in the glass trade usually under-
takes to look.

The present price puts the greenhouse
sizes around $3 per box. The green-
house trade would be satisfied with that
figure if it would hold steadily. It is
far better for the trade that glass
should command a fair price than that
it should be first high and then low.

PBOVIDENCE, B. I.

The Market.

The market since Thanksgiving has
held up satisfactorily, both as to quan-
tity and quality of stock and activity
of business. The coming-out functions,
together with numerous weddings, have
called for much work on the part of
the decorators, while several large fu-
nerals have added to the general de-
mand. The largely increased demand
for carnations and roses since the close
of the chrysanthemum season has kept
those flowers closer than some of the
dealers would like. Carnations are up
in price. They are expected to be
scarce for Christmas.

Various Notes.

F. Macrae & Sons have purchased
a handsome forty-two horse-power
Eoyal touring car.

Fred B. Luther 's automobile was con-
siderably damaged December 13 by col-
lision with an electric car.

Edward Murray, formerly employed

now of New York city, was a visitor
recently.

Eugene Buchanan, of Fall Eiver, was
in the city December 13 and reported
that his boiler gave out during the cold-
est night of the season, December 10,
but fortunately he was able to save
his houses by using portable heaters.

Eugene McCarron has had several
large decorations among the east side
set during the last fortnight.

Walter D. Macrae, of F. Macrae &
Sons, has been elected a trustee of

George L. Cook has been appointed
custodian of the estate of the late Wal-
ter S. Nichol, of Barrington, pending
probate proceedings.

Charles H. Hunt had the largest job
of his business career last week, for
St. Bernard Chapel.

W. S. Pino has the sympathy of a

James W. Shaw has completed a large
greenhouse at his place in Slatersville.

R. H. Higgins is having his auto de-
livery rebuilt with a larger body.

The .greenhouses of the Norwood Flo-
ral Co., at Norwood, were menaced De-
cember 10 by a fire believed to have

been set by some boys in the nursery
adjoining. When the blaze was discov-
ered by Mrs. Nathan D. Pierce, wife of
the proprietor, the flames were rapidly
nearing the greenhouses. An alarm was
given and a score of men turned out
with shovels and brooms and succeeded
in extinguishing the flames.

DAYTON, O.

Tbe Market.

The greatest problem which con-
fronts the Dayton florists at present is
the carnation crop, which seems to bd
extremely scant, and it is an utter im-
possibility to fill more than half the
orders. Judging from the present out-
look, they will be a scarce article at
Christmas, and customers, being aware
of this fact, are placing their orders,
though it does not seem possible to fill
more than a quarter of them. White
roses have been more plentiful than
anything else, but the prospect is that
they, too, will be off crop at Christmas.
Fortunately, red and pink roses will be
coming in well. Giganteums will also be
rather scarce. Of yellow and white
narcissi there will be a good supply.
The majority of Dayton growers have
a fine crop of poinsettias coming in for
the holiday trade. Cattleya gigas, Ro-
man hyacinths, bouvardias, valley and
sweet peas will be plentiful. In
pot plants there will be plenty of prim-
ulas, cyclamens and cinerarias. Many
of the florists also have a fine trade in
Cincinnati begonias and azaleas. There
is likely to be an abundant supply of
green goods.

Last week's trade was exceptionally
good. Flowers of all varieties found
a good market, while some encouraging
Christmas orders were booked.

Various Notes.

William Niehaus, of Cincinnati, spent
a pleasant week here with relatives
and also visited several of the Dayton
florists. He reports trade as excellent
in his city.

The Oakwood Pottery reports busi-
ness as highly satisfactory, and says
there are enough orders booked ahead
to keep the whole force hustling for
some time to come.

N. O. Selby, who has just started in
the florists' business at Middletown, O.,
was in town last week looking up stock
for his Christmas trade.

The Heiss Co. is improving the inte-
rior of the Main street store by putting

oflSce.

Miss Bonnie Ewing has just recov-
ered from a severe attack of the grip.

W. W. Horlacher reports a most satis-
factory trade last week, with a great
deal of work for parties and receptions.

John T. Conger, of Cincinnati, was
in town last week, with a fine specimen

the growing of it.

The Dayton Floral Co. has a fine lot
of stock coming in for the holidays.

J. W. Rodgers and James Ewing vis-

R. A. L.

MOBILE, ALA.

All indications are pointing toward
an unexcelled Christmas trade, and al-
though the local supply never was larger
or better in quality, there will not be
enough to go around.

The Minge Floral Co. 's roses are in
excellent shape, with prospects of a
large cut for the holidays. Their Beau-
ties, Richmonds and Marylands look
especially well. Anticipating a great
rush and consequently a fat bank ac-
count, this firm has taken fate by the
forelock and invested in a fine auto de-
livery car, and the holiday air has in-
vaded the whole store.

At Ravier & Sons' establishment
everybody is as busy as a bee. A house
full of poinsettias is a grand sight. Two
new houses of late mums look as if they
will prove a money-making investment.
There are 3,000 hyacinths in full bloom
and lots more coming on. Callas, Paper
Whites and sweet peas are all coming
on. The two energetic brothers, Louis
and Fred Ravier, are catering to the
plant trade, and if stock can do it they
have got it. They report a splendid
trade since business opened up on All
Saints' day.

Mrs. Goodbrad has some nice roses
and other stock in her new house and
she reports business as better than
usual for this time.

The Industrial Gardens are bringing
in a fine lot of decorative plants, and
their large stock of palms and ferns is
in great demand for weddings, balls
and other swell affairs.

The Mobile Floral and Horticultural
Society was organized in October, with
fifteen members. The membership is
not confined to the trade, but anybody
interested in ornamental horticulture

may become a member. The object of
the society is to promote the interest
in flowers and trees and to help beautify
the city in an intelligent and syste-
m tic manner. The membership has
already passed the sixty-five faiark. The
local papers are doing their best to
further the welfare of the society, by
publishing the proceedings of the meet-
ings in full, with the papers read at
such meetings, in their Sunday issues.
The society will undertake demonstra-
tion work, such as planting and caring
for window boxes, on any one building
and one school. The oflScers of the
society are: President, H. P. Loding;
vice-president, John Douglas; recording
secretary, H. A. Demeran ville ; secre-
tr-y and treasurer, G. C. Little.

Altogether Mobile, the gateway to the
Panama canal, is pushing to the front
at a gait that cannot be beat. Some
wide-awake nurserymen got onto this
fact, and where a year ago we could
not count a single nrifrery we can now
boast of four growitt concerns.

AMLJNQ'a AXtf^ TBUCE.

A good many floriste- select an autor
mobile as much for looks as for utility,
but not so the Albert F. Amling Co.,
Maywood, 111. This concern bought for
service and for no other reason. The
truck, which is of one ton capacity, is
used for a daily trip from the green-
houses to the commission house in Chi-
cago and serves to make the growers in-
dependent of the railroads and express
companies. The truck has, upon occasion,
made more than one trip a day, and it is
of record that on a certain night it car-
ried as its load 142,000 sweet peas.
The truck has given excellent service
ever since it was put into use, but in
the beginning there was a great deal of
tire trouble. This has been overcome
by using a patent tire filler th;'.r "^re-
vents punctures or blow-outs,
truck puts the stock into the wholesa^
house in fully as good shape as when it

was sent by express, the ride over the
road being less rough than the handling
the boxes received in the several shifts
necessary when moved by train.

Few florists use a car without a top.
The Amling concern gets a lot of serv-
ice out of its truck on jobs that would
be impossible with a top on the car.
When carrying cut flowers to market
they are covered with a tarpaulin and
it has been found that even in the
coldest weather the boxes need no heav-
ier lining than would be given if they
were to go by express.

OBITUARY.

RESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

The ways and means committee of the
lower house of Congress has given notice
that a hearing will be held January 20
on the agricultural schedule of the tariff
law, paragraph 263 of which covers the
duties on plants, bulbs, etc.

For those wishing information regard-
ing the course in floriculture rt the Uni-
versity of Illinois a neat pamphlet has
been issued, giving full details and de-
scription of the equipment. Copies may
be had by addressing the registrar, at
Urbana, 111.

The Department of Agriculture, of the
Agricultural Experiment Station, at the
College of Agriculture, Cornell Uni-
versity, Ithaca, N. Y., at which are the
trial grounds of the American Sweet Pea
Society, has just published part three
of "Sweet Pea Studies," by Alvin C.
Beal. This is devoted to a history of the
sweet pea and a record of the results of
experiments in growing the sweet pea in
the open ground.

S. A. F. HOSPITALITIES.

Under a Minneapolis head in this
issue it is reported that the florists
there have organized and started prep-
arations for the entertainment of the
S. A. F. next August. It is a diflScult
task to decline the hospitalities of
friends, but it seems to be the duty of
the directors of the national organiza-
tion to show the fine fellows in the next
convention city, in all friendliness, that
the society does not wish to be "enter-
tained." The conventions have become
so large that entertainment along for-
mer lines has become too expensive and
too difficult — the society's good de-
mands a change. Each city has out-
done its predecessor in "hospitalities"
until the task has become one not lightly
undertaken; in fact, no city invited the
convention of 1913; the decision to go
to Minneapolis was made without con-
sulting the florists of that city and
after a full discussion of the situation
had put emphasis on the desirability
of again leading the simple life. It
was made quite clear that the society
should go where it can do the most good
to the trade at large rather than to
go where, perchance, it may be invited.
Now these open-handed Minnesotans
want to do "the right thing." Of
course! Nobody likes to let friends
come to town, even though unbidden,
and not do something for them. It is
up to the directors of the national or-
ganization.

There is another interest that de-
serves attention in this connection. The
trade's display is the backbone of the
convention; but entertainments have so
multiplied that nowadays an exhibitor

has to catch his customer on the fly,
on the way from a luncheon to an ex-
cursion, or else keep the buyer away
from the business sessions of the so-
ciety, which is easier. The exhibitor
has to steal most of his time — there is
scarcely any lie can call his very own.
The program says the convention is
four days long. But it isn't; it is only
three, for the exhibitors. The fourth
day is given to a junket that takes all
the buyers away from the hall. The
trade exhibitors pay for that fourth
day. It is theirs. Give it to them. It
wiU, at the same time, solve the hos-
pitalities problem.

CHIOAOO.

The Great Central Market.

No great change has taken place
since the last report, but it is interest-
ing to note that, with the demand in-
creasing faster than the supply, prices
asked and obtained are above the aver-
age for this time of the year. Carna-
tions remain on the short side and not
enough can be had to fill orders. High
prices naturally are being secured and
in some cases the higher grade reds
have brought returns equal to the
Christmas price lists. Practically every
order contains a call for more or less
carnations and, with the supply hardly
equal to that of the previous week,
the wholesalers are put to no end of
trouble in meeting the demands. The
question of the supply for the coming
Christmas shipping trade is one that
gives the wholesalers considerable con-
cern and various opinions are being of-
fered as to the extent of the probable
supply. Growers report little change
in conditions and do not give much
encouragement for big cuts, but there
are those who believe that the supply
will be large enough to fill all orders
except for red and dark pink. Few,
however, are willing to take chances
of overbooking on advance orders, at
even the best prices, until it is known
just how large crops will really be cut.

Boses have shown decided improve-
ment for the last week. While the sup-
ply has increased to a good extent, the
shortage of carnations has made it pos-
sible to bring about an advance in the
price of roses. Killarneys especially
have improved in both quality and
quantity and show much better color,
size of bud and length of stems. Kil-
larney probably is cut in larger num-
bers than White Killarney, but there
has been little trouble in clearing the
tables of the whites. Bichmond showed
excellent quality, but has not been
shipped in so freely as Killarney, prob-
ably due to the fact that the growers
are counting on better returns during
Christmas week. Beauties are excel-
lent, too, and while there has been
hardly any unusual demand during the
week, they were moved at fairly con-
sistent prices but without any mate-
rial advance up until December 16,
when the calls for the long-stemmed
grade began to increase. Ward, Sun-
burst and Melody were in big demand
and on the short side.

Of the other flowers, violets appeared
to have the call and although there
were but few home-groWn shipments
there were plenty of eastern arrivals.
Poinsettias are abundant but not yet
selling well. Paper Whites are more
plentiful and Bomans are coming
stronger. Sweet peas are dropping buds
since the dark days returned and are

We'ye Got The Goods

ORDER ALL YOU NEED.

There never were finer flowers and the
quantity we handle is a marvel to those who
have not kept in touch with the increase in
glass we represent.

BEAUTIES

We never have seen a finer crop of Beauties than we nov^ have— splendid
color, large, perfect buds, fine foliage; specially strong on long to medium.
When you have tried these Beauties you will agree with us that nothing
finer could be asked. We shall be in full crop through the holidays.

KILLARNEYS

While the quality of our Killarneys is fully up to the famous crop of last
Christmas, the supply is very much larger, for the growers greatly increased
their glass. Of course, the longer the stem the finer the flower, but the me-
dium lengths carry the largest flowers we ever have seen on these grades.

DOUBLE VIOLETS SINGLE

We handle the cream of the crops of the Hudson river doubles, and they
are fine. Also fragrant, home-grown singles that are the best the market
affords. An abundant supply.

Orchids

A large supply of the finest Cat-
t^eyas and all other varieties.

Valley

We always have the high quality
stock your trade demands.

CARNATIONS

Buyers will find it to their advantage to order Carnations of us. We
shall have the quantity and our stock is widely known as always the most
uniformly high quality large lot in this market.

Poinsettias

A very large and fine lot, shipped
to reach you in perfect condition.

Lilies

You need these every day in the
year. We have a special crop now on.

not SO plentiful as the trade would like.
There is plenty of valley and Easter
lilies are abundant, both local and
eastern stock. Stevia is not so plenti-
ful as it was, doubtless being held back
for Christmas. There are plenty
of fine cattleyas to go around at the
prices, but not enough to weaken the
market. There is a larger supply than
usual of the miscellaneous orchids.

Eed winter berries were again in de-
mand and large quantities were to be
found on all sides. Boxwood turned
scarce last week, some of the large han-
dlers getting word from their sources
of supply in the south that anticipated
shipments would not be forthcoming.

The mail Monday, December 16, in
most of the wholesale houses, was the
heaviest ever received. It seemed to
insure a record Christmas business. The
call for carnations was so heavy that
some houses began stating that no fur-
ther orders could be booked except
from regular customers and others re-
plied that they would take orders sub-
ject to doing the best possible with
them when the time comes. The re-
luctance of the wholesalers to commit
themselves on carnations has naturally
turned a lot of business to roses and
some of the houses have booked all the
orders for short roses they care to
undertake. In general, everyone is
willing to take orders for roses at from
10 cents up, but the opinion is that
prices will hold firm on all grades.

hip was dislocated and he was rushed
to St. Luke's hospital, where an exam-
ination showed the left hip to be
broken. Not only is it a serious and
painful injury and one that will keep
him laid up for a long time, but it
comes at a most inopportune time.

Peter Beinberg has ordered a motor
truck to take the place of the wagon
in hauling the stock from the green^

E. E. Pieser is one of those who does
not concur in the general prediction of
a Christmas shortage in carnations. He
says it will extend only to reds and
Lawson. Plenty of everything else.

John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling

The receivership of Koropp, Inc., re-

Embarrassments" in this issue, affords
another excellent argument for the or-
ganizers of the new credit association.

Applying the rules of the association,
no seller can become involved more
than one month's bill, instead of over
$1,600 as one creditor appears to be in
this case.

served on arrival at the greenhouses.
A good cut was found to be on and
The Herald looking fine. Most of the
visitors also inspected the neighboring
establishment of the Thompson Carna-

John F. Kidwell, president of the
Chicago Flower Growers' Association,
says the cuts of Killarney at the Well-
worth Farm plant are as fine as he has
ever grown. One house of Beacon car-
nations is in crop and Mr. Kidwell says
he would not object had he retained
his carnation houses in place of grow-

M. C. Gunterberg comments that vio-

and locally grown flowers are of an
unusually high grade.

J. H. McNeilly says he has decided
on radical changes in his establish-

ment at the southeast corner of Sixty-
third street and Lexington avenue be-
fore next season, doubling the space
for candies and soda water but bring-
ing the florists' department strongly
to the front. He has a ten-year lease

now uses only two, the confectionery
being in the corner store, the flowers in
the second, with the third store sublet.

the flowers in the corner, which is prob-
ably the best locatiqn in Woodlawn

PHIIiADELPHIA.

The Bising Eastern Market.

The scarcity of carnations is the fea-
ture of an active market that is not
heavily stocked with flowers. Business
has fallen off just a little, which pre-
vents the prices of all flowers, except
carnations, from advancing. The trad-
ing in roses is heavier than in any
other flower; most of the shipping
orders contain a preponderance of the
queen of flowers. The Richmond crops
have been so well timed for Christmas
that they are just beginning to arrive
in quantity. The other leading vari-
eties of roses show an encouraging
improvement in quality. The cold
weather has helped to brighten the
color of Killarney. No one seems to
have a crop of carnations for Christ-
mas. The knowing ones predict that
the short and medium grades of roses
will have to do duty instead of carna-
tions in many cases. Marie Louise
violets are in fair supply, but Lady
Campbell and the singles are hardly
equal to the demand. The former is
preferred out of town, while the other
two are favored locally. More gar-
denias are sold at the higher listed
price than a week ago. Valley is in
active demand. Cattleyas have become
firmer. Paper Whites are freely bought.
The demand for poinsettias is still in-

A Promising Carnation.

The smaller of the two mammoth
houses of the Florex Gardens, at North
Wales, Pa., is largely filled with carna-
tions. They are planted in solid beds
and look remarkably well. The star
variety in this vast house is one of
their own seedlings, named Euth. This
promising debutante is probably 4 years
old. There were 500 plants last sea-
son; now there are nearly 10,000. Kuth
is described as a cerise, or cherry pink,
somewhat resembling the old variety,
Tidal Wave, in color. It is of good
size and pleasing form, with strong

stems, and, best of all, it is wonderfully
prolific. Half of the plants were grown
under glass all summer; they look best.
The other half were field- grown; they
look extremely well. One of the house-
grown plants taken at random had
twenty flower shoots. So pleased are
the managers of the Florex Gardens
with Ruth that they have invited three
of the leading carnation experts of this
vicinity, Edmund A. Harvey, Edward
A. Stroud and Henry M, Weiss, to call
this week and see the new variety
growing.

There was a shortage of flowers last
week on account of the cold, cloudy
weather. The cut of rose» has fallen
off considerably. Business the last two
weeks has been fair, but the lull which
usually precedes the holiday season has
been felt the last few days. A few
advance orders are coming in for Christ-
mas at this writing and a number of
decorations arc booked, which gives
promise of a good holiday trade.

Carnations are fine, with long, firm
stems. Pink Delight is unusually good.
There is a big demand for carnations
just now. Killarney and White Killar-
ney are in good condition, but specials

are few. There are some excellent
Taft roses in the market. Mrs. Aaron
Ward and Hillingdon are falling oflE con-
siderably in crop. A few Milady roses
are to be seen. Eichmonds are scarce.
Violets, valley, orchids and Boman hya-
cinths are plentiful, but the demand is
meager. Few gardenias are seen here,
and few cypripediums. Poinsettias,
rhododendrons, azaleas, heathers, ar-
disias and Baby Bamblers are all in fine
condition for Christmas. Laurel is be-
ing used in larger quantities than other
greens.

plying some of the other florists with it.

The Flower Shop, on Worthington

mums.

Dalton, Mass., not long ago and at-
tended the funeral of her aunt.

Mark Aitken had quite a little fu-

A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn.,
is sending some good potted poinsettias
to this city for Christmas.

The Holland bulb men have made
their appearance.

A. B. Butler, formerly with Galvin,
of Boston, has taken a position with H.

Last week and the early part of this

Practically every seasonable flower

there has been a steady demand for
supplies and decorative material. Most
of it has, however, been from out of
the; city. The local florists seem to
})e waiting^ until almost the last minute
before they get into this line, for to
date their purchases have been some-
Avhat limited. Ked ruscus is proving
immensely popular.

Various Notes.

.1. T. Conger was quite successful
with a house of Begonia Glory of Cin-
cinnati this year. The plants were
elegant.

C. E. Critchell was the first in the
market with Eoman hyacinths and new
bronze galax.

P. J. Olinger confidently expects this
to be his best holiday season.

The J. M. McCullough's Sons Co. is
getting in elegant hyacinths from Al-
]jert McCullough's own place.

The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange
has been in receipt of excellent poin-
settias.

Miss ]Mae Carroll has just returned
from a most successful trip through the
northern part of the state. Miss Car-
roll reports business good and is more
than pleased with the uniform courtesy
which she is accorded by those with
whom she comes in contact w^hile on
her business trips.

Among out-of-town buyers and sales-
men in the city last week were Miss
Fannie White, Lexington, Ky.; George
Gause, Richmond, Ind.; Chas. Dieterich,

The Market.

Kxtionioly cold weather and light
shipments held the cut flower market
steady last week, notwithstanding ex-
treme dullness, as usual, in the retail
section between Thanksgiving and
(Christmas. Prices did not vary, and
are not likely to until the end of the
jireseiit week, when the slight uplift for
the holiday may reasonably be ex-
jiected. There are no indications of a
surplus in any department and a health-
ful tone exists.

Retailers complain of light demand,
the department store shopping season
being in full blast. The majority have
been accepting and arranging plant dis-
]days, filling branch stores and storage
rooms, and getting ready for the rush
that is inevitable by Saturday. Evi-
dently the plantsmen have no reason to
complain. Most of them already say
"]>raetical]y sold out" when one calls
u])on them. Shipping plants has been
an easy matter this year, owing to the
mild weather.

Roses are now at their best in color,
stem and bud. There seems to be no
shortage of American Beauties, and
there should be no unreasonable ad-
vance on this or any other variety of
rose for Christmas. The new roses
grow more and more popular as their

quantity increases, while all the older
varieties are arriving in abundance and
never seemed of better jjrade and qual-
ity. Killarney in all its variations
seems to be in as wide demand as ever
and is the real backbone of the rose
market. There will be a large supply
of carnations. Enchantress loses none
of its popularity. Violets have been
actually scarce at times, an unusual
condition for New York, but !'•> cents
has been top for a week or two, and
that for the selects. ^lore single vio-
lets are seen this season than usual.
There is a good supply of .orchids in the
usual winter varieties; 60 cents seems
to have been the price, although a few
have commanded a higher figure. T^lie
outlook is for a sufficiency for Christ-
mas, and at reasonable values. Valley
holds firm at 4 cents for the best, and
lilies at 10 cents. Gardenias are im-
proving daily.

There are still some fine mums arriv-
ing and the shipments will continue
until Christmas, making this the long-,
est mum season ever known. Poinset-
tias are everywhere and assert their
value as appropriate for the retail
windows. Some stock of especial size
touched $4 per dozen December 14.
Even stevia, of which the supply is
limited, sells well. Callas are here now
to stay. Lilac is arriving. Sweet peas
are improving every day. Narcissi, hya-
cinths, bouvardia, wallflowers and
daisies all are here in quantity.

the Christmas tree custom would pass
for all time into innocuous desuetude.
The leading stores are recommending
araucarias for the usual method of gift
distribution, with the big table for the
overflow. Hence the increasing popu-
larity of the big araucarias. Meantime
every supply house is busy, with dou-
bled forces, day and night, in complet-
ing M'reaths and wreathing. These spe-
cialists in southern supplies will surely
have their banner season.

Madsen & Christensen, of Jersey
City, have been sending excellent wall-
flowers and daisies, cut, to Wni. Kessler.
M. Graf, of Elmsford, neighbor of Scott
Bros., sweet pea specialist, also is one
of his shippers.

Manager Coan, of the Growers' Cut
Flower Co., complains of lack of room.

The MacNiff Horticultural Co. is
holding an auction sale of holly daily.
The top price December 14 was $3.50.

Jas. McManus already is settled in
his new store, at 105 West Twenty-
eighth street. His walls are a veritable
art gallery, orchid pictures predomi^
nating. These five similar stores in the
Nicholas block are so deep that a
trolley line in each almost seems a
necessity.

Siebrecht & Siebrecht have added
another oflSce to their facilities. Here
W. H. Siebrecht, the incoming presi-
dent of the Florists' Club, will make
his headquarters for the winter.

Woodrow & Marketos say many ship-
ping orders insure a record Christmas.

The majority of the seedsmen down-
town are handling bouquet green, holly
and other seasonable goods, including

The firm of Reed & Keller has been
in existence since 1870, forty-two years.
They declare that the last year has
been the most successful in their his-
tory. Many useful inventions have
been put on the market by this firm,
and adopted by the leading florists of
the country. One of their best sellers
this year has been the Santa box, a
reproduction of a chimney, for plants
or cut flowers. J. Austin Shaw.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

There is every indication of a good
holiday trade this year. The weather
has been favorable and most of the
growers had little or no disease in any
of their stock. We have had more than
a normal amount of sunshine this fall
and all crops have come on just about
right to catch the holiday season.

Koses are in plentiful supply, but the
demand keeps them at good prices.
There is a much larger proportion of
the better grades of Beauties than is
usual, partly owing to the abundance
of sunshine. Carnations are as plenti-
ful as they ever are in this market.
The quality is of the best. Sweet peas
are coming in more freelj'. but the
prices are about the same as two weeks

they were, as we have been having

up. Paper Whites are iu good supply
and there is use for every one of them,

The usual supj)ly of inferior holly is
to be found on the market square and
on the street corners. This makes it
hard to sell the really good grades.

Bacretary-Treasnrer, C. B. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

Wholesale j>rit'e lists of seeds do not
show advances in prices in j)roportion to
the croj) failures of the year.

"As the trade knows," say W. Atlee
Burpee & Co., in their new wholesale
price list, "sweet peas are in short sup-
ply the world over — America has never
before fallen down on sweet peas as this
year. ' '

The duties on seeds will be up for
consideration at Washington January 20,
the conunittee on ways and means having?
given notice of a hearing on Schedule (i
of the tariff law for 10 a. m. that day.
Paragrapli 12(53 of Schedule G covers
bull)s and i)aragraph 2(50 covers seeds.
A number of the trade interests are pre-
paring to be represented.

The a. a. Berry Seed Co., of Clarinda,
la., has nearly completed a new three-
story building, 40x5(1 feet. The new
structure is an addition to a frame build-
ing used as a wareiiouse south of the
Burlington route freight station. The
company also has a brick building in
the same locality, as well as a large two-
story brick building uptown.

G. H. HUNKEL Co., Milwaukee, has
j»urchased the Wernich Seed Co., of that
city. The store of the Wernich Seed Co.,
27-29 Juneau avenue, will V)e closed as a
retail store and used as a warehouse, the
store and offices of the G. H. Hunkel Co.
being continued sus heretofore at 327
Chestnut street. The Wernich Seed Co.
is an old and well established concern,
l>eing established in 1S79. G. H. Hunkel
Co. was et-'tahlished in UMl.'). K. P. Ilunkol
is j)resident and tJ. II. Hunkel secretary
and treasurer.

The Arthur T. Boddingt(ui 1913 gen-
eral catalogue, from the McFarland ])ress,
is one of the handsomest seed catalogues
that have thus far been issued. It aj)pcars
to leave nothing typographical to J>e de-
sired. Also, the book has Viecome one
of the most comjilete. for it contains 152
j)ages. While it has been customary for
seedsmen to j>repay jiostage on small re-
tail orders, the Boddington book makes a
strong bid for business under the new
l»arcel jwst by offering to i)re|)ay jiostage
on all cash orders ccmiing within the
weight limit of eleven pounds.

The (talloway Bros.-Bowman Co., the
seed firm of Waterloo, la., has nearly
completed a new warehouse and expects
to have it ready for use by .lanuary 1.
The building is of cement block con-
struction. It covers a space 48x00 feet
and is two stories high, besides the base:
nient. Part of the second floor will be
occupied by the offices of the company.
It is estimated that the building and its
equipments will cost about $25,000. The
firm has contracted with the German-

American Nitra-Gin Co., of Milwaukee,
for exclusive distribution of its fertilizer
in the United States and Canada for a
period of twenty-five years.

The American growers of aster seed
have harvested pretty fair crops this year.

W. S, Pino, Providence, E. I., lost his
wife December 10. Mrs. Pino had been
in ill health for several months.

The Albert Dickinson Co. has been
given a permit to start the foundation
for its seed warehouse at West Thirty-
fifth street and South California avenue,
Chicago.

The first of the eastern seed catalogues
for 1913 to reach The Review were those
of Arthur T. Boddington, New York, and
the Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, 0.
They both came to hand December 16.

Ax onion set warehouse belonging to a
Chicago grower named Anderson was
burned last week while it contained
16,000 bushels of sets. The owner
claimed a total loss, but it is understood
an adjustment was made on a basis some-
what more favorable to the insurance
companies.

Some startling variations in prices in
the 1913 general retail seed catalogues
are developing. For instance, in two
books arriving in the same mail one day
this week, the first one opened quotes
Alderman pea at $15 per bushel, while
the second lists it at $8. The latter has
Alaskas at $7.50, while the former reads
$12.

Holly has turned comparatively scarce
at Chicago this week. The large handlers
in the trade have not been overloaded
and the vegetable commission houses on
South Water street that supply the un-
inspected stock have had little to offer
that a florist could use. A number of
these South Water street concerns have
declined to handle holly this year, having
had difSculty in previous seasons in get-
ting out of the grade of stock sent them
the money advanced on the shipments.
Several of these houses have ceased to
speculate on bouquet green, having found
it a losing game, but those still in it are
heavily loaded with both bulk green and
wreathing for which there is no demand
at the prices asked and of which they
can not let go for less without suffering
a loss.

Men who try to do soniething and fail are
infinitely better than men who try to do nothing
and succeed. When Daniel Webster came up
before the Bar Association for his legal examina-
tion he was told to go back and study — that he
didn't know his lessons. * He replied that he
thought the best way to learn law was to prac-
tice it. He was finally admitted, and proved to
be one of the greatest lawyers and statesmen the
world has ever known. It is practice, after all,
that makes perfect. The same principle applies
to the lily growing business. Some florists have
bad results and get cold feet. You would not
quit business just because a customer failed to
pay you — no, you would keep right on working
that much harder, to make up. Same in lily
growing — if you don't succeed at first try' again
— and be sure and try harder. Perhaps you
don't know how to treat lilies — ask, if you are
not sure. But keep right on, plant more, work

WASHINGTON.

The Market.

Things are moving along considerably
better, on account of the number of
■dinners, afternoon teas and other social
functions. There has been a marked
increase in the demand for stock and
prices are slightly higher. There are
plenty of flowers in nearly all season-
able varieties. More carnations are
making their appearance, but the sup-
ply is not heavy enough to fill all or-
ders. Chrysanthemums are at an end
and their place is being filled by roses.
Narcissi are exceptionally plentiful and
are a little in excess of the demand.
Azaleas, Lorraine begonias, poinsettias,
cyclamens and other potted plants have
made their appearance in the stores in
goodly numbers. There will be enough
cut flowers, with the possible exception
of some few novelties, for Christmas,
and the dealers are looking for a satis-
factory business.

The early coming of Lent may have
some little ill effect on the trade,
though society can l)e dej)ended upon
to endeavor to cram into the next few
weeks nearly everything in the way of
entertainment that would have been
scheduled to take place if the inter-
vening time were longer. This will
bulk the amount of business done con-
siderably and would normally cause the
season of dullness to be much longer
th^p it would otherwise be, but, this
being the inaugural year, it is hard to
tell what will happen after Easter.
Should Congress be convened by Presi-
dent-elect "Wilson just after his induc-
tion^ into office, the social season will
be prolonged considerably. There is a
plan on foot to extend the inaugural
"ceremonies to cover a whole week, with

Various Notes.

Elmer C. Mayberry, a member of the
firm of Mayberry & Hoover and an ex-
president of the Florists' Club, is at
the Georgetown hospital, where his big
toe was amputated December 13. On
the preceding day, with two compan-
ions, he went into the woods of Upper
Marlboro, Md., after rabbits. While
walking along the edge of a gravel pit
the ground beneath him gave way and,
as he fell, one barrel of the gun was
discharged, tearing off a portion of the
large toe of the left foot. A surgeon
dressed the wound, but the following
day the amputation became necessary.
Mr. Mayberry had but recently recov-
ered from illness resulting from being
knocked down and run over by an auto-
mobile.

There is some little talk of booming
William F. Gude to fill one of the va-
cancies in the board of commissioners
of the District of Columbia, the highest
honor that can be paid to any resident
of this city. The Anacostia Citizens'
Association has picked him as its can-
didate and other similar organizations
can be counted upon to back him if he
will say that he is out for the position.

George C. Shaffer, Fourteenth and I
streets, northwest, will shortly move
into a new store, located diagonally
across the street from his present loca-
tion. This store is in a building but
recently erected and is far superior in
every way to his present quarters.

should like to know how much hydro-
cyanic acid gas could be safely used to
kill aphis on these, without any danger
of burning the foliage. The house is
100 feet long, six feet high to the eaves
and fourteen feet to the ridge. I am
growing lettuce at a loss at prevailing
prices. Would it be advisable to dis-
continue growing it and grow radishes,
■considering that I can average 50 cents
per dozen bunches? E. C. S.

The sample leaf was so badly dried
up when received that it was hard to
tell what was the matter with it. Pars-
ley and lettuce growers have been mak-
ing little if any money this season, so
far, on account of the extremely low
price of lettuce. But from now on
through the winter the prices will un-
doubtedly be good. I think that Grand
Rapids lettuce would pay better than
radishes at 50 cents, as that is hardly
«nough for them. I would advise water-
ing the parsley as you do the lettuce,
between the plants and without wetting
the foliage. Pick off the affected leaves
and keep the soil moist, but not muddy.

In using gas in that house, it would
be safe to use about four jars, placing
a half pint of acid and a half pint of
water in each jar about an hour before
you are ready to fumigate. Then take
a heaping tablespoonful of cyanide,
carefully wrapped in paper, for each
jar. Drop the packages, paper and all,
in the jars, starting at the farther end
of the house, and get out of the house
quickly. Leave it shut up until toward
morning, when it will be safe to go
in and raise the ventilators, although
the odor of gas can still be plainly
noticed. [ H. G.

Los Angeles, Oal. — C. C. Shafer,
who is Pacific coast representative for
the George M. Garland Co., greenhouse
builders, of Des Plaines, 111., has his
headquarters at 215 West Fourteenth
street, not 15 West Fourteenth street,
as was printed in one of the Garland
advertisements last week.

INSPECTOR DESTROYS GALAX.

A consignment of galax leaves
shipped to me from North Carolina was
condemned at the express office here by
the local commissioner of horticulture,
he claiming they were infested with the
larva> of Aleyrodes Nubifera, or white
fly. He destroyed the entire shipment.
The commissioner would not let me
send a specimen for iilentification, nor
would he let them be treated to destroy
the larviP. He also warned me not to
buy any galax or plant or leaf of any
kind from North Carolina and most
other southern states, as he would de-
stroy them, whether he found them to
be infested or not. He said that is the
law. It is a new experience with me
and I find myself lost without the galax
and other green that can only be had
in those states. Will you please throw
some light on the subject for me?

W. E. Johnston.

Xevada City, Cal.

The Review has not jireviously heard
of any injurious insect or disease being
found on galax or other southern greens.
There has been much ill feeling because
of what some regard as the harshness
of the California inspection law, but it
is probable that the inspector did not)
mean to threaten the destruction of un-
infested stock. Has anyone else had
similar experience? Let us have the
details.

LOS ANGELES, CAL.

The Market.

As jiredicted last week, stock is be-
coming more scarce as the holiilays ap-
proach and there will be none too much
to go around. The supply does not
vary much from day to day, but there
has been a gradual shortening up. In
outdoor stock this has been caused, to
some extent, by the cool nights. The
temperature has been hovering close t(i
freezing point even in the most favored
localities, while in others a few degrees
of frost have l)een registered. A good
rain would soften the atmosphere and
help growth.

In special Christmas stock not much
has to be recorded. Growers in this lo-
cality have found that it does not pay
to stop their roses and run the chances
of missing a holiday, when by taking
a regular crop tlie year around they
more than break even. I have noticed
this in particular with reference to that
beau^ful rose, Prima Donna, which is
begfnning to have more than a local
reputation. The way it was staged at
the San Francisco show is proof that
it is well suited to northern conditions
and it is always in flower. It makes
such good stems that pinching is not
necessary and there is always plenty of
fine foliage. Orchids and valley are

plentiful now, but a week may make
quite a difference.

There is no English or Vancouver
holly at present, but consignments are
on the way and will be here before they
are needed for the holidays. However,
it is scarce and high in price. Other
greens are plentiful and there is enough
of the local holly to go around.

Plants are not too plentiful, though
more have been grown this year than
usual. Poinsettias are good, especially
the neat little plants in 10-inch and 12-
inch pans, suitable for centerpieces.
Gloire de Lorraine and Cincinnati be-
gonias are also good, but the hot
weather by day makes it difficult to
hold them. Ferns, palms, and green
plants in general, are good and plenti-
ful, but berried plants are scarce; in
fact, there are practically none to be
had.

Various Notes.

One of the most interesting visitors
to this city for a long time was J. G.
Cole, of Tamingfu, China, who was on
his way back to the Celestial Kingdom
after a summer's trip to his home in the
east. Mr. Cole is gardening superin-
tendent of the South Chid Li mission,
where he grows as many as possible of
the English and American varieties of
vegetables. The climate of Tamingfu
is dry, except for a couple of months
in late summer, and considerable irri-
gation is necessary. The wells for water
supplv are bored about thirty feet deep
^■and Mr. Cole says his wells usually
have about ten feet of water at that
depth. Yet, with the life-giving ele-
ment so near the surface, the dry at-
mosphere is extremely hard on the
plants. Ash, elm and huai — whatever
the latter may be — are the principal

A. Beverley, of Santa Barbara, gave
a demonstration of his adjustable irri-
gating sprayers before Park Superin-

cember 7. Mr. Shearer expressed him-
self as well pleased with them and is
figuring on the cost of using them at
Exhibition park. It is quite likely that
tlie}' will be used on the San Francisco
fair grounds, as Mr. McLaren has sev-
eral of the machines in use and under
observation. There are so many spray-
ers on the market that I have become
rather chary of recommending any, but
these surely act well and are i)owerful,
covering large areas in a surprisingly
even manner and with practically no
run-off.

I recently had the pleasure of a run
through Dr. Barlow's Sierra Madre
place in company with W. W. Felgate,
Ids capable gardener, .7. B. Feblman
and .Tohn Blake, of Pasadena. While
Mr. Felgate was undoubtedly lucky in
finding a good deal of vegetation on
the place, such as large eucalj-ptus
trees, palms and others, yet he has so
skillfully blended his new work with
the old that it forms one harmonious
whole which must be extremely satis-
factory to all concerned. A tennis court
and water garden have been made at the
west end of the ]dace and Mr. Felgate is
busy ])lanting this latter with bulbous
iind herbaceous subjects. This will make
an ideal spot for lilies. There is just suf-
fiiient shade cast by the eucalyptus
frees to prevent their burning, while
fliey will have ample light. Leading to
fhis from the north is a little coppice
'»r wood that would lend itself finely to
freatment at small expense. Among
'he specialties here we noted some ele-
J^aut beds of Nemesia strumosa Suttoni,

'iently well known here, as it likes the

it is hard to determine the results, but
there seems to be plenty of stock of
good quality. Boses are looking fine,
especially Eichmond, Killarneys and
Maid, while Beauties will be a little
off crop. Carnations of all colors will
be plentiful. Bed usually is the first
to clean out. Mums will be available
in limited quantities. Local violets
will be scarce, but the California ship-
ments will be plentiful and sold at a
price that gives a good margin of profit.
Business houses and department stores
have put on a Christmas hue, wreathing
and decorative greens being in evi-
dence on all sides. Oregon grape, or
mahonia, a local decorative green, is
effective for decorating, with a vari-
ation of color from green to a dark
bronze.

Various Notes.

Joseph Costagnas, a local violet
grower, was judged insane and taken
to the asylum, but has been released to
relatives in San Francisco. His place
has been leased and will be taken care
of, pending his condition for the future.

Julius Schnapp, of Seattle, is now
identified with the Tonseth Floral Co.
He is well known to the florists of this
city, as he was here during the recent
flower show. E. E. C.

TACOMA, WASH.

The Market.

After an unusually busy Thanksgiv-
ing, business has settled down to its
usual level for this time of the year.
Christmas stock is coming on in fine
shape and the stores are fast taking on
their holiday appearance. Stock is
selling well and the supply seems to be
about equal to the demand. Boses are
stUl rather scarce, but carnations are
more plentiful, with the prospects good
for a heavy Christmas cut. There are
still some of the late varieties of mums
on the market, but it seems to be the
general opinion that mums have not
been a profitable crop this year, be-
cause of the low prices prevailing dur-
ing the first part of the season.

Club Meeting.

The Florists' Club held an interest-
ing meeting in the club rooms December
5. The event of chief interest was the
election of officers for the ensuing year.
The following officers were elected":
President, Henry Benthien; vice-presi-
dent, J. L. Simpson; secretary, Fred
Smith; treasurer, A. A. Hinz; trustee,
Harry Atchinson.

Business has been good for the last
Week. While the supply in most lines
has been fairly plentiful, there has been
'ittle surplus in any variety. Chrysan-
themums are now getting scarce, and
■vith the decrease in stock the demand
"^eems to increase. There are some fine
'Hums still coming in and getting
'leaned up at good prices. Carnations
■ire fairly plentiful, but not at all over-
iibundant. The supply of reds for

Tlic Florists^ Review

Deck^^bbb 10, 1912.

Roses are scarc-e and not of extra good
quality. Sweet peas are seen in one or
two stores, but are not in great de-
mand. Bulb stock is plentiful, but it
is not selling so briskly as of late.
Orchids are scarce.

Pot plants are daily getting more in
evidence and are moving off in good
numbers. Holly is good this year; there
seems to be plenty of it on the market
and prices are well maintained. The
call for greens is constant.

Various Notes.

The first annual ball of the Seattle
Florists' Club, held on the evening of
December 11, in Queen Ann hall, was
a brilliant success. The various com-
mittees had spared no efforts to make
it so; they were rewarded with a good
i^ompany and everything passed off sat-
isfactorily. Invitations were accepted
by the mayor of Seattle, and by florists
of Tacoma, Everett and Port Townsend,
as well as nearly all the local retailers
and growers. The hall is a splendidly
equipped place for an occasion of the
kind and was tastefully decorated with
]4Slnis, evergreens and chrysanthemums.
Every lady received a corsage bouquet,
while the men were adorned with car-
nations.

The Seattle Florists' Club deserves
hearty support in the efforts it has been
making to remove the violet peddlers
from the city streets. The last of these
itinerant merchants have been ordered
off and it is now anticipated that there
will be no further trouble from them.

The Florists' Exchange, of this city,
shipped a large consignment of Christ-
mas trees to Los Angeles, Cal., last
week. They also made a shipment of
flowers to Calgary, Alberta.

Shipments to various points in Alaska
were made by several of our retailers
last week.

The Capitol Hill Floral (.'o. received
a shipment of pteris ferns from the
oast last week, badly fro/en in transit.

Mr. Wilkinson, of Victoria, and Mr.
Peterson, of Everett, were calling on
the traile last week.

The Aabling-Ebright Seed Co. has a
large stock of evergreens, ornamentals
and fruit trees at its yards on Fourth
and Virginia streets.

]Miss Beatrice Burns, of the Burns
Floral Co., was married to Floyd
O 'Grady at the Church of the Immacu-
late Conception, December 11. She has
retireil from the firm, her place there
being taken by Mrs. Kyan, another sis-
ter. Mr. and Mrs. O 'Grady have taken
uj» their abode at Laurelhurst.

Miss Wagner has sold her interest in
the Crescent Flower Shop to George
Steward and Miss Irene Glazier, who
will continue it as formerly. T. W.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The weather has moderated again and
the chances are for a rainy spell, which
is much needed. Flowers, on the whole,
are getting much scarcer, which is to be
expected. Outside stock is on the wane,
with the exception of violets and nar-
<issi. Mums, although holding out well,
are showing the results of the late sea-
son and only a few late sorts can be
had. Christmas berries have captured
the town and, although they are a cheap
article, they are handled by everyone.
T'nless frosty weather interferes, they
will be in good shape for Christmas.

Inside stock is not especially scarce,

WESTERN NUBSERYMEN MEET.

The Western Association of Nursery-
men held its annual convention this
year, as usual, at Kansas City. The
dates were December 11 and 12. It
was the twenty-third meeting. The at-
tendance was sixty-five. The following
officers were elected:

President — F. H. Weber, Nursery,
Mo.

Vice-president — T. E. Greisa, Law-
rence, Kan.

Secretary and treasurer — E. J. Hol-
man, Leavenworth, Kan.

Nursery inspection and inspection
laws were, aside from market condi-
tions, the principal subject for discus-
sion. It was the first meeting since the
passage of the federal quarantine bill
and W. P. Stark, of Louisiana, Mo., and
Prof. S. J. Hunter, of Lawrence, Kan.,
who had represented the association in
this matter, reported on it. Uniformity
in legislation by the states and the
elimination of red tape on shipments of
nursery stock were demanded by the
association. Peter Younger, of Geneva,
Neb., chairman of the legislative com-
mittee of the national association, was
made chairman of the committee in
charge of the legislative program of
the Western Association. Other mem-
bers are J. W. Hill, Des Moines; W. P.
Stark, Louisiana, Mo.; Prof. S. J.
Hunter, of the University of Kansas.

WInnor of first prize, best lOO red, Cleveland, 1912

Winner off fflrst prize, best lOO red, Cincinnati, 1911

DESCRIPTION

Color: — Brilliant scarlet, good even shade.

Form: — ^Large 3 to 3%-inch, well rounded flowers, full
center, scalloped edges, outer petals standing out well,
showing the flower off to good advantage.

Calyx: — Strong, large calyx; never bursts, very much
on the order of Harlowarden.

Habit: — Ideal, upright growth; deep green colored
foliage, breaks readily from the base, making a rapid
growth and producing flowers in remarkably short time.
Easv to grow and propagate.

Stem: — ^Long and strong, not heavy, always stiff enough
to hold the large flower perfectly erect.

Guarantee: — We guarantee this variety to fill a long
felt want for a good all around commercial scarlet; one
that will produce high grade flowers with long stems right
from the beginning of the season to the end.

The Herald is the Best Commercial Scarlet for you to
grow, because it will produce more perfect flowers in a
season than any other scarlet and bring a higher price
than any other; because the flowers are all perfect; stem
stiff and keeps the longest. Compared with Enchantress
it will produce one- third more blooms". No culls; no splits;
no weak stems. All rooted cuttings guaranteed strong,
well rooted and satisfactory in every respect.

Rooted Cuttings ready for immediate delivery. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per lOOO.

The Market.

Coming-out parties, receptions and
some funeral work kept stock pretty
well cleaned up last week. Carnations
are still a scarce article and prospects
are not any too encouraging for a large
holiday cut, especially of the red ones.

From Sunday to Friday last week we
experienced our first cold snap, for the
mercury dropped to 2 degrees above
zero.

Various Notes.

Archie McDonald, who recently had
charge of the Pfister hotel flower
stand, has accepted a better position
in Cincinnati. Philip Frisch, a Mil-
waukee man, has taken his place.

Negotiations were completed Decem-
ber 16 by which the G. H. Hunkel Co.
absorbs the Wernich Seed Co. If pos-
sible the Hunkel Co. will utilize the
Wernich store as a warehouse and con-
duct all business from its own store,
at 327 Chestnut street.

The C. C. Pollworth Co. reports a
rushing business in holly, mistletoe and
other green goods. Holly thus far has
been of good quality.

The Gust Eusch Co. reports business
fine, but the shortage in carnations is
giving considerable trouble.

The Fox Point Floral Co. has its usual
lot of cyclamens for the holidays. This
concern has a reputation for fine cycla-
mens and this year is no exception.
All were spoken for before this, some
going as far as Pittsburgh.

During the cold spell last week,
Henry Gabel, who represents the Chi-
cago Carnation Co., of Joliet, HI., made
the rounds in spite of the fact that his
samples suffered considerably from the
cold. E. 0.

Painesvllle, O. — The Painesville Gar-
den & Greenhouse Co. is much pleased
with the results of its first year in the
busio«ss and considers the outlook for
the future highly encouraging. The
company was incorporated about a year
ago, with a capital of $20,000, by Al-
fred E. McKee, Chas. M. Hawley, Ed-
mund Witzman, Samuel J. Potts and

•yHE best Sport of Enchantress up to date, possessing all at all seasons. Calyx is longer and narrower than that of
* the vigor and freedom that distinguish its parent. Color the parent variety, and distinct from the latter. Has shown
a light salmon pink— a color that is not only very attractive, no inclination to be a burster. The weak points of Enchant-
but also one that endures full exposure to the sun without ress seem to have been lost in this Sport, and a trial of four
bleaching. A good all-round Carnation that retains its color years' duration convinces us of its great value.

TOBONTO, ONT.

A Visit to Dunlop's.

While in Toronto I visited John H.
Dunlop's place. I found everything
coming on finely for the holidays. The
roses all gave promisetrf big crops. The
most remarkable in appearance was a
block of Killarney roses. Their deep
green foliage and luxuriant growth,
six to nine buds to the plant, just right
for Christmas, were to me so strikingly
different from the average in growth
and general appearance that I inquired
particularly and found that this block
had been forced, then planted in the
open and left out three winters, potted
last spring and at planting time put
into the benches. The object was to
put new vitality into the plants. The
experiment seems to be highly satisfac-
tory. Mr. Dunlop intends to propagate
his stock for next season from these
plants.

Some promising varieties in the new
importations on trial are to be planted
next season. Sunburst is doing nicely
and is a good seller. Considering the
disadvantage on account- of the smoke
and soot from the factory and other
buildings, the Dunlop stock in general is
in fine shape. It is necessary to wash
the glass frequently, both inside and
outside. Mr. Dunlop intends to look up
a new location in the spring. The
building operations all about him have
increased the value of the land, which,
when sold, will naturally increase the
Dunlop bank account. He certainly has
a fine trade at his Yonge street store
and an extensive wholesale trade
throughout the Dominion.

S. Humfeld.

Lewiston, Me. — Ernest Saunders has
leased a store at the corner of Ash
and Lisbon streets and will remove
his downtown flower business to that
location. Mr. Saunders has also pur-
chased a store at 50 Lisbon street, but
intends to allow the present tenant, a
jeweler, to remain in the building.

Opportunity Knocks

At your door to secure the very Best Silver Pink Snapdragon in
existence. Will you accept it or remain in the same old rut, grow-
ing an inferior vanety, and wonder why your competitor is
prospering more than you?

Read what some of the Leading Florists have to say about
Buxton's Silver Pink Snapdragon:

Mr. Geo. E. Buxton, Nashua. N. H. October 19. 1912.

Dear Sir: Your light pink Snapdragon I consider the best
color of any I have grown. Just the shade of a Killarney rose
and one that the ladies like. I have watched all the pink onus
that are sent to the Boston market, but they are away behind
your variety. I am growing your variety now entirely.

Very truly yours.

S. J. GODDARD.
Mr. Geo. E. Buxton.

Dear Sir: The light pink Snapdragon you are shipping is a
winner, commanding a good price and snapped up quick by the
best buyers, on account of its beautiful soft pink coloring and
good all-round habit. Grow more of it.

Yours very truly,

TH08. PEGLER.

Mr. Geo. E. Buxton. Nashua, N. H. October 24. 1912.

Dear Sir: We have grown your light pink Snapdragon the
last two years, and are very much pleased with it,

Yours very truly.

Carnations!

A word to the g^rower of carnations!

This firm has 50,000 carnation plants that are g^rown exclu-
sively for cuttings, and never allowed to flower.

It has been proved conclusively that plants will not yield cut
flowers and give strong cuttings at the same time; compelling
them to do this, gives weakened stoclc.

If your stock is lacking vigor, replace with some of these
carefully handled cuttings; they will put you in good shape for
another year.

We use science and efficiency methods in handling our car-
nations from start to finish; visit our place and see for yourself;
you will not find a yellow or diseased plant.

We root our cuttings in clean Lake Michigan sand,
freighted 200 miles.

We root them cool.

We have 150,000 cuttings ready for DECEMBER delivery, and
we shall have 200,000 for JANUARY.

They embrace the following sorts:

Commodore . . . $12.00 per lOO; $100.00 per 1000

Richest crimson scarlet; the best keeper and traveler in the family: ex-
tremely free; the earliest scarlet to bloom; continues to the close of the
season in fine color. Brings a big Christmas crop; won its honors at the
Midwinter Exhibition at Detroit last year

Encliantress \

Beacon

Benora $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000

Gloriosa. 4.00 per 100; 30.00 per 1000

If you want early bloom and a big Christmas cut, secure
early propagated stoclc.

KANSAS OITY.

The Maxket.

Trade was fairlv good last week and
is on a steady increase. Stock has not
been as plentiful as it was, since the
mums are now practically off the mar-
ket, although there are a few Nonin
and Chadwick left. Narcissi are more
plentiful and they help to fill up the
orders for funeral work with the retail-
ers. Violets are selling well and none
are thrown away. Boses are fair and
bring a moderate price. There is no
shortage, but the market keeps them
cleaned up fairly well. Carnations are
at a fancy price and are hard to get
hold of at this time.

Various Notes.

E. H. Frandsen & Co. will have a
full crop of fine roses and carnations
for Christmas. They have two houses
in cyclamens, in 4-inch, 5-inch and 6-
inch pots, that are pt fine appearance.

E. S. Brown was operated on Mon-
day, December 9, and is expected to be
out of the hospital before Christmas.

Henry Kusik & Co. report business
improving and say that Christmas or-
ders are coming in heavily. Carnations
are scarce with them.

Wm. Foith has a fine lot of snap-
dragons and sweet peas. His carnations
are full of buds, but he is afraid the
main crop will be too late to come in
for the holiday trade.

Ed. A. Humfeld has some excellent
Chadwick in bloom, both white and
yellow, which he expects to have for
Christmas.

The W. L. Eock Flower Co. has an ex-
cellent stock of pot /plants of all kinds
for Christmas.

Samuel Murray's Lorraine begonias
are as fine specimens as are to be found.
He sells a large number every year.

The W. H. Sawvel Floral Co. has a
splendid lot of carnations, full of buds,
which look promising for the holidays.

Miss J. Murray says she has received
a great many Christmas orders and that
business is good. W. J. B.

Tampa, Fla. — A new store, to be
known as The Flower Shop, has been
opened at 605 Franklin street, a cen-
tral and most convenient location. The
store will be under the management of
Miss Helena Armstrong, assisted by
Miss Mamie Galvin.

We are growing all our Eentias above 6-lnch .size in neat C«dar Tubs, made especially for us, with electric wire hoops, painted Kr*en.

These tubs cost several times the price of pots, but we sell the plants at the same price as though grown in pots. The buyer has the
advantage of receiving his plants without breakatre of pots and in handsome tubs in which they have become well established and in which
they will continue to do better than in pots.

When In Philadelphia be sure to Look Us Up.

We are easily reached— only 26 minutes from Beading Terminal, 12th and Market Streets, Philadelphia. We have fine train service— fifty
trains each way every week day— so you can suit your own convenience, both going and coming. When you will see our palms of mU
■Izes, from 2^-inch pots to 12-inch tubs. We are strong on Deooratlv* Palms, in 7-iiich, 9-inch and 12-inch tubs (made-up or single
plants), which we can supply In any quantity. All our Palms are boin«> crown (not an Imported plant on the place) and well established
in the tubs. They are strong and healthy.

With increased glass devoted to Palms, our stock is muob larsor tban aTar bafora and never in battar condition.

THE NEW PINK CARNATION.
NORTHPORT.

Color, cerise pink. This variety has been
thorougtily tried out for the past five years and
we offer it today with every confidence that it
will ultimately take first place as the premier
dark pink. The color is similar to Mrs. C. W.
Ward without the objectionable streakiness and
tendency to burst the calyx of the latter variety
during the dark weather. The growth is wonder-
fully free and continuous and Northport will
produce more flowers per" plant than any other
variety of Its type. The calyx Is practically non-
bursting. Rooted cuttings, $12.00 per 100;
$100.00 per 1000.

We have for immediate delivery Al rooted
cuttings of Enchantress, White Enchantress and
Beacon at $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000.

HABTFOBD, CONN.

The Market.

The weather has been bright here
this week and so far this month we
have not had our dreaded dark Decem-
ber days. Trade has been good all
around and funeral work has helped to
keep the retailers busy. Boses are of
good quality, but the quantity is small.
White Killarney is scarce, as also is
Eichmond. Killarney holds pride of
place, the color being good and the
flowers of good substance. American
Beauties are more plentiful than they
have been at any time this month, but
more would be welcome, as they sell
well. Mrs. Aaron Ward is the outstand-
ing yellow, while Sunburst is hardly
seen. Carnations are grand and come
in on fine stems. Good Beacon are
never left- unsold. Pink Delight and
Winsor find ready buyers. A few
chrysanthemums are coming in, but
they do not amount to much, as they
are too scarce to make any impression
on the market. Violets are exceedingly
scarce, but sweet peas make up for
this shortage, as some fine flowers are
coming in. Poinsettias are arriving in
large quantities, also ardisias, cycla-
mens, begonias and primulas. Aspara-
gus is in good demand.

Various Notes.

A. N. Pierson is cutting some splen-
did poinsettias for this market. Eose
Milady is showing up so well that all
who see it say that it is the best red
rose on the market.

George A. Parker has been appointed
director of Keeney park, and the fore-
man, George H. Hollister, has been
made superintendent.

Thomas E. McClunie is out again
after a serious illness.

The Quality Flower shop reports
business excellent and is looking for-
ward to a heavy Christmas trade.

Frank Eanney has returned from a
short vacation aiM is looking much
better.

It is reported that J. A. Brodrib has
withdrawn his case against the town.
The city proposes to extend Cemetery
street, which will necessitate the re-
moval of his greenhouses. W, S. C.

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 Eeview is a good boiler, and
the advertisers sell them on their merits.

A MASSACHUSETTS HOUSE.

We have a house 35x140, sides four
feet high and sixteen and one-half feet
to ridge. Please inform us how many
square feet of glass there are in this
house and what would be the best way
to pipe it for steam and hot water
combined. If heated by hot water,
what is the best method of forced cir-
culation T Massachusetts climate.

F. B. P.

There would be not far from 5,880
square feet of glass in the roof of the
house described, besides some 220 feet
in each exposed end. "When a house is
to be heated with a combined steam
and hot water system, it is generally
advisable to put in only so much pipe
as will be required to heat the house
with steam in the coldest weather and
then use it as a hot water system only
in mild weather, when the radiation is
sufficient to secure the desired temper-
ature. While it is always advisable to
use 1^-inch pipe for a steam system,
for a combined steam and hot water
system it is generally better to use
1%-inch pipe for the returns in a house
more than 100 feet long.

The letter does not state what tem-
perature is desired, but, for 60 degrees,
three 2% -inch flow pipes and twelve
1%-inch returns would answer for
steam and could be used for heating
the house with hot water when the
temperature outside is 20 degrees above
zero. By connecting a mercury seal
to the expansion pipe the temperature
of the water could be raised to nearly
that of steam and the system could

800 square feet of radiating surface;
If one 3-inch overhead flow pipe is used,
eleven 2-inch returns will be needed in
each house, which will call for one more
return on the inner wall than is pro-
posed. Of course the house can be
heated in ordinary weather if only ten
returns are put in, but to maintain the
temperature stated, when the thermom-
eter is below zero, will not be econom-
ical unless at least one more pipe is
added.

It would be better to run the flow
pipe downhill than to carry it with a
rise, and the use of three 2Vl'-inch flow
pipes, instead of one 3-inch, is sug-
gested. In that case nine 2-inch re-
turns would be sufficient.

The seventh annual Farmers' Week

There will be much of general interest
to florists and nurserymen and consid-
erable of special application to the busi-
ness. C. H. Totty is on the program
for December 28, to talk on carnations
and chrysanthemums. The other lec-
tures on trade topics are by the in-
structors in the college. Last year
several florists attended during the en-
tire week,. and no doubt others will do
so this year. Senator Joseph Heacock
says it was one of the most interesting
experiences of his life.

THE SOIL CARRIEB IN USE.

SAVES TIME, LABOR \ MONEY

We call your attention to our Oravity Carriers for oonveyins soil into and out of
ffreenhouses. You are awars of the great amount of labor necessary for changing the
loam in your benches. It requires but a few feet of our Oravity Carriers to reduce
this expense.

Oarrierg are made in eight and four foot sections, which can be instantly Joined;
the rollers are of the best seamless steel tubing, ball bearing, and are 14 inches in length
by 2'4 inches in diameter. Cut shows how they operate.

A run of carrier is set up with one end projecting through a window and a cart
containing the loam is placed at this end. The loam is shoveled into the boxes, which
are pushed or conveyed by gravity into" the house and dumped into the benches. Empty
boxes are pushed back to cart over same run of carrier. When the beds within a con-
venient radius are filled, the carrier is set up at another window and the work contin-
ues tmtil all benches are filled. For removing soil the process is, of course, similar.

We shall be pleased to furnish further details relative to construction and dura-
bility of tiie carriers ; also, upon receipt of information relative to size of your green-
houses, furnish an estimate of the cost of a system for your reauirements.

LOS ANGELES NOTES.

lUontmned from pacre 56.]
Morris Goldenson has returned from
San Francisco and says there is plenty
of stock around the northern city. He
is showing some elegant Silver Wedding
mums.

Walter Armacost, of Ocean Park, will
be in with an elegant crop of roses
and carnations for Christmas. The
roses look especially fine, his Beauties
having been kept hard all summer.
All other varieties are equally strong
and vigorous, and the initial holiday
of the new plant will surely be a good
one.

The outlook for the citrus fruit nurs-
erymen here is of the brightest. With
almost twice as many trees grown as in
former yeats, prices are well maintained
and business is brisk. John R. King,
of the J. R. King Nursery Co., of Whit-
tier, says that inquiries and orders are
better this year than last, much citrus
land being 'planted that has hitherto
grown barley.

At the Roserie this week I saw much
the finest azaleas so far seen, and in-
quiries showed they had been grown
by Howard & Smith, at Montebello.

Murata & Co report business fine,
especially in out-of-town shipments.
Carnations are especially good here.

Progress is the watchword of the
Germain Seed & Plant Co. Another
addition to the holdings of this firm has
been made, this time on the Whittier
road, halfway to Montebello, where
considerable acreage has been secured
for a seed trial and sample ground.
Greenhouses will be built, besides other
structures for the growing of plants,
largely vegetable, for which they have
an enormous demand. The northern
holdings of the firm also enable it to
compete closely with other large grow-
ers of flower seeds, for which there is
an ever increasing demand here and in
the east.

Frank Lichtenberg's store is particu-
larly attractive now, the red ruscus be-
ing used with good effect.

The H. N. Gage Co. is doing a big
business in made-up garlands of red-
wood and other evergreens. The differ-
ent species of berberis now being sent
down from Oregon, under various
names, make elegant decorative mate-
rial.

0. C. Saakes is not any too well
pleased to have his windows practically
clocked up by scaffolding for the
Christmas display time, and it is a
shame so elegant a showing has so poor

Stanley Purdy is now with Mr. Saakes,
and he and O. Schneider seem to be
shaking down to good team work. I
have seen O. C. frequently around the

Charles Morton is going faster than
ever since becoming sole proprietor of
the Los Angeles Flower Market. One
day he is in San Francisco, the next
he is using that persuasive tongue of
his to tempt the Fourth street buyers.
"Big business" is the constant cry and
Mr. Morton is sure "some hustler."

the run here.

The two members of the firm of
Boyle & Darnaud, of San Diego, were
visitors here last week.

At Dieterich & Turner's Montebello
place there is a magnificent display of
ornamental stock in large boxes and
Japanese tubs that I am sure could not
be duplicated in southern California.
In palms there are grand specimens of
Kentia Forsteriana, besides splendidly
grown Bhapis humilis, Cocos australis
and C. plumosa, all fresh, green and in
the most robust health. The philoden-
drons are magnificent; so are the
ficuses, while a large number of Japan-
ese box, or Buxus Japonica, must be
seen to be realized. This is surely a
winner; the habit is as good as that
of the old B. sempervirens; it is just
as clean in growth and as fine in color,
while it stands the California sun with
impunity. Always looking ahead, Mr.
Turner has planted out some hundreds
of thousands of this, and, unless all
signs fail, this planting is going to pro-
duce enormously of green, to say noth-
ing about plants, alongside of which
the imported Belgium stock will pale.
In the roses there are many novelties
which must shortly be noted, but just
at present I will only mention the
fine stock of pot poinsettias. These are
dwarf, well finished, with finely colored
bracts, and in all sizes, from small
stock fit for fern dishes to immense
specimens and plants made up with
Boston ferns. Surely this ought to be a
record-breaking holiday for the firm.

The. Florist?' Review

Comparative Costs of Erecting

Iron Frame and Pipe Frame

Greenhouses

THE MATERLA.L8 FOR PIPE FRAME
houses cost less— but the erection
costs more.

This statement is based on the carefully
preserved records of both kinds of con-
struction erected in the past three years.
This difference of cost in favor of the iron
frame is of course greater in houses from
forty feet wide, up. Mr. E. B. Sage, of
Bradford, Pa., has three of our iron frame
houses— the complete framework of which
he put up in record breaking time.

Having set all his posts
and attached the eave
plates, or gutters — the
rafters were laid on the
ground, bolted together at
the ridge, and the angle
iron ties secured in place.
Then with a movable
tackle that he rigged up,
the two rafters were lifted
up and the lower ends
dropped in between the

an easy matter to put on the purlins and
the house was all ready for the wood-
work.

So before you get your mind firmly
fixed on having one of our Pipe Frame
houses— good as they are— let's go care-
fully into the comparative costs and see
if in the beginning (as well as the end)
it does not figure out in favor of the
Iron Frame.

If you contemplate increasing your
plant this coming year, get busy as soon
as you can.

Send for us early, giving
us time enough to go into
your problems thoroughly,
as well as to give yourself
ample time to carefully
consider things, after we
have made our suggestions
and submitted plans and
estimate.

Do this and then place

your order timely to in-

its early comple-

gusset plates on the posts The srussct plate at the eaves is a sure
and bolted up. It was then great help in speed of erection, tion

T^WO WEEKS AGO you saw on this page a picture of the two steel frame
* houses built in New Castle, Pa., for Weinschenk <fe George. Here is a new,
modern range of glass in far-away Utah, built entirely with Moninger material.
It proves again our claim that distance cannot be considered if you are out to
get the best house for the least money. You can't afford to build until you have

a con^plete itemized estimate from us. >^:^

'■\r "■
^r. Miller, the business end of the Miller Floral Co., was for many years in ttie

-emp'oy of various large growers in the east. He knew all about the eastern methods

of building and thought they were perfect. When he came to us his eyes opened

wide as we showed him how far Moninger construction was ahead of all others.

Blizzards Bested by Electrics

Eight inches of snow blanketed New York City during

A BECOBD-BBEAEING BUSINESS.

Some of Its Lessons.

The Thanksgiving business in 1912
gave a tremendous stimulus to prepara-
tions for the Christmas trade. The
Thanksgiving demand was so gratify-
ingly ahead of previous years that it
afforded every encouragement to be-
lieve that Christmas also would break
all previous records. There never has
been any difficulty in selling all the
■stock of certain kinds which was avail-
able at Christmas, and this year extra
•efforts were made in all directions to
add to the supply of the articles recog-
nized as ready sellers. The trade every-
where was confident and never in the
previous history of the flower business
have florists offered such great quanti-
ties of material to the buyers of Christ-
mas gifts.

In addition to preparing for a big
business, the far-seeing members of the
trade made special effort along the line
of getting early orders. Christmas
coming Wednesday this year left a
short selling season. Ordinarily a holi-
day business covers three days, but this
year Sunday intervened. Some sought
to handle their Christmas rush in the
two days preceding the holiday, but the
more far-seeing ones recognized the
impossibility of handling so big a
volume in so short a time and made
special effort to get the buyers started
in the week preceding Christmas. This
was done by providing an early display,
and the use of the local newspapers.

Perpetuated Materials.
One of the notable features of the
Christmas business has been the enor-
mous increase in the sale of prepared
foliages. This material also assisted
the retailers in lengthening the selling
season. It was possible to make a big
display of the articles made of per-
petuated materials, for there was no
danger of deterioration. In many cases
quantities of baskets of ruscus and
other similar stock which had been
made up some days in advance of
Christmas, with the idea of providing
a bright display and having the articles
ready when needed, sold so rapidly that
they were completely cleaned out days
ahead of the anticipated time. The
supply houses say they never have
experienced anything like the rush of
orders by wire asking the duplication
of previous orders for small baskets,
preferably red, ruscus, statice, pine
cones and similar articles. Simply thou-
sands upon thousands of baskets have

been sold filled with red ruscus, box-
wood, statice, cones, thistles and other
similar material in endless variety of
combination. Bed has, of course, been
the prevailing color, with red and green
the popular combination. An immense
quantity of ribbon has been used, more
than ever before.

The use of "artificial" material has
not met with unqualified approval, but
the criticism is usually on the part of
those who have expected to feel the
press of this new competition. The
retailers have been in search of variety
— and dollars.

and an exceedingly favorable one for
the plant sellers. In many cases the
stock was ready too early, and the
variety offered this season showed little
in the way of novelty. The big sellers
have been the cyclamen, the poinsettia,
and the primula. Of these the growers
were cleaned up days in advance of the
holiday, providing they let it be known
what they had for sale, and the demand
at retail has been something simply
enormous. There appears to be no pos-
sibility of any early oversupply of well-

grown plants of these varieties. The
possibilities of marketing at profitable
prices are simply without a limit.

Other plants have sold well but in
rather less quantities. The Lorraine
begonia has largely ^ven place to Cin-
cinnati, which is giving better satisfac-
tion, but the buyers are afraid of the
begonia. It sells well to persons who
do not value money highly, but not in
the average run of stores. The cheaper
class of berried plants has sold stronger
than ever before and there has been a
big market for the higher priced stock
in this line, ardisias having been offered
in greater quantities than in any pre-
vious year and selling clean. Aucubas
and skimmias have had good sale in the
few localities in which they were
offered.

With the flowering plants, more or
less of the standard decorative varie-
ties have been used. The araucaria
appears to be returning to favor as a
Christmas specialty. Dressed up with
a little red bow near the tip of each
branch, and in an attractive pot, it
sold well. In spite of the fact that the
fern is not ordinarily considered a
Christmas plant, there has been a large
business done in the Boston and its
progeny. These appeal to practical
people.

Cut Flowers.

The old conditions surrounding the
cut flower markets at Christmas no
longer prevail. With the advent of the
newer varieties of roses, and the
greater skill of the growers, it has
become possible to time the crops so
that there is fair assurance of adequate
supplies of roses. The growers can get
the Killarneys whenever they want
them. Unfavorable weather may add
to the difficulties, but roses have not
been scarce in recent seasons. In many
localities the same mastery of carna-
tions was not apparent; the crops will
be along in January; they were not
ready for Christmas. Quite the con-
trary, in many cases poinsettias were
too early and had largely been moved
out before the holiday.

White flowers never have any special
sale at Christmas; they are worked off
with other stock. There never is any
trouble in selling all" the red flowers,
and all the brighter colors. This year
first-class prices have been realized,
both at wholesale and retail. There is
no longer the protest there once was at
Christmas values. The retailer sells at
a closer margin at Christmas than at
other seasons and the public has be-

come accustoraed to expecting maxi-
mum prices in every department of
trade at Christmas. There is no reason
for anyone, grower or retailer, to feel
otherwise than satisfied with the Christ-
mas business in cut flowers. Naturally,
now that other salable stock is avail-
able, the retailers are apt to push the
less perishable articles, but the demand
for cut flowers is world-wide and con
stant. The box of cut flowers is the
refuge of the last-day Christmas buyer
who does not know what else to send.
It is as staple in a flower store as
sugar in a grocery.

Greens have sold as usual. The holly
wreath has never-changing vogue.

Easter Is Near.
The interval between Christmas and
the next great flower day, Easter, is
shorter this year than for many seasons.
The character of the Easter business is
radically different from that of Christ-
mas, but the experience of the current
week leads to every assurance thai
Easter of 1913 will consume everything
of salable quality the trade can have
ready in the third week in March.

OHEISTMAS NOVELTIES.

Possibly the best selling Christmas
novelty was the small split willow or
braid basket, dyed red, mossed and
filled with boxwood sprays, red ruscus
and winter berries, of course with some
red ribbon on the handle. Stores that
were ready in time sold these in sur-
prising numbers at from $2 to $5 each.
There were plenty of ways to vary the
filling, but in most cases the more red
the basket contained, without being all
red, the better seller it was.

The Christmas trees mounted on
plateaus and trimmed up as shown in
The Review for December 12 proved
splendid sellers. A tree that cost 25
cents could, with the addition of the
"fixings," be given a selling value of
$2 or $2.50 in any store catering to
prosperous people.

Buscus was everywhere. Retailern
who used ten pounds last Christma4
used 100 pounds this season. Where it
all came from is a question, for it is a
natural product, but that the supply
proved equal to the demand was a
proof of the resourcefulness of the
supply houses. In fact, most of them
were so resourceful that they provided,
at the last moment, just a little more
than they could sell, though earlier in
the season many were short. There was
considerable variation in the quality of
the ruscus, but the ordinary store florist
cares less for the length of the sprays
than he does for the color; a bright
red is wanted, not a dull, dark red.

McCUTCHEON'S ROSES.

There is probably no better known
artist than John T. McCutcheon, and

the fact that the decoration shown in
the accompanying illustration wag for
one of his luncheons at the Blackstone
hotel will add interest to it. The func-
tion was in the English room, where all
the furnishings are dark. Consequently
Richmond roses were used. Since the
table was long, to seat thirty-two
guests, it was necessary to divide the
decoration into three sections, identical
except that the mound of roses in the
center was slightly larger than the two
at the ends. The decoration was bv

BENSON'S NEW STORE.

Indianapolis recently has advanced
perceptibly in its importance as a
flower center and in the character of
its retail establishments. Indianapolis
always has been a first-class flower
town, with several firms doing a large
and profitable business. Recently the
number has been increased by the open-
ing of the new establishment of the
Hill-Heller Co. and one of the old es-
tablished retailers has advanced in
rank through moving from his old store
into a much larger and handsomer store
in the Denison hotel, which is one of
the best locations in the city. In the
accompanying illustrations two views
are given of the new Denison hotel
establishment. Lester F. Benson is pro-
prietor. He has now been in his new
quarters long enough to have demon-
strated that in this case, as in others
of its kind, the increased and improved
facilities have brought a prompt re-
sponse from the public. His business
is much larger than it was in the old
store. Mr. Benson has greenhouses at
Twenty-second street and Park avenue,
but he is not able to produce anything
like the quantity of stock he retails.
He is a large buyer at Indianapolis and
also in the Chicago market.

Champaign, HI. — Thomas Franks &
Son have completed the enlarging and
remodeling of their greenhouses.

BEX BEGONIAS.

Can you give me information that
will enable me to grow good Eex be-
gonias f Those I have in stock appear
strong and healthy, but the leaves con-
tinually turn brown, as if burned.
G. I. W. C.

Give your Eex begonias a tempera-
ture of 50 to 55 degrees at night.
Shade them from direct sunshine, or
their beauty will be spoiled. If they
show any signs of poverty at the root,
either repot them or feed with manure
water once a week. Spray overhead
occasionally; some people imagine this
hurts them, but it is purely a fable.
Portions of leaves placed in sand now,
with a good bottom heat, will root
readily and make heavy plants before
next fall. C. W.

CANDYTUFT FOR MEMOBIAL DAY.

I should like to know the proper time
to sow candytuft to have it in flower
for Memorial day. Please mention, also,
the best variety for indoor culture and
give me some cultural hints.

J. E. S.

Candytuft to be in flower for Memo-
rial day should be sown about the mid-
dle of January. If vacant beds or
benches are at disposal, sow it in rows
twelve to fifteen inches apart and
rather thinly. Do not leave more than
three or four good seedlings to the
square foot where fine stalks are
wanted. Usually there are no empty
benches in January. This being so, the
best plan is to sow in 3-inch pots. Put
half a dozen seeds in a pot and thin
out to three. You can also sow in flats
of light soil, but great care must be
taken to pot off in good season, as
candytuft seedlings do not transplant
as easily as some other annuals. Place
the pots or flats on a shelf or bench in
a moderately cool and well aired house,
with a temperature of not over 48 de-
grees at night. Water carefully. Do
the necessary thinning in good season
and spread out a little where the little
plants crowd.

The plants must go into the benches
before they become at all potbound, for

if once they get stunted and hard no
amount of after treatment will recu-
perate them. Use a generous soil, such
as would grow good mums or roses.
Keep the surface soil stirred frequently
and ventilate the house freely. Candy-
tuft will not stand any coddling and
does better in a night temperature of
45 degrees than 50 degrees. If your
plants seem at all late you can run them
a little warmer as the flowers open.
On the other hand, if early, you can
keep them cool. Candytuft must be
kept moving all the time, so be careful
not to give it any check. It will pay
best to have the plants thin in the
benches where strong spikes are wanted,
and these are what bring the money.
As to the variety, every seedsman has
some special strain. Giant White Per-
fection is the best I have grown, but
many like Empress. C. W.

ADVANTAOES OF OSGANIZATION.

[An essay by August R. Baumer, LouiSTllle,
awarded first prize In a contest conducted by tbe
Kentucky Society of Florists.]

I should like to make the title of this
paper "Some of the Advantages De-
rived from Such Societies as the S. A.
F. and the Kentucky Society of Flo-
risti." Yon will note I did not indi-
cate that I would show the advantages
of belonging to these societies, but I
will try to show the advantages that
arise from the existence of such or-
ganizations as our national and state
societies.

Unfortunately for these societies, the
man who is not a member receives
many of the benefits that should go
only to those who support and assist
in making the societies the success that
they are.

In more than twenty years' connec-
tion with the florists' business I have
seen the S. A. F. grow from its small
beginning at Cincinnati to its present
standing, with its charter from the Con-
gress of the United States. I have
watched the many special societies that
have sprung from it, and I know of the
work that it has done. I also know
much of the good that has been accom-
plished by our state society.

Work of the S. A. F.

The national society has been able,
through the union of numbers and in-
fluence, to get one of the strongest com-
binations of capital, the expriess com-
panies, to grant a reduction in express
rates on plants that are properly
packed, and also has secured the better
handling, by the express companies*
employees, of all packages containing
cut flowers or floral work of any nature.
This has greatly helped all florists, be-
cause it enables them to ship funeral
work to the surrounding country with
a great degree of safety.

The S. A. F. has by persistence and
hard work had the United States gov-
ernment get its experts to take up the
study of plant life. By this I mean
especially such plants as are generally
grown by florists, their diseases, their

A EUROPEAN SUCCESS.

Chrysanthemum Mrs. G. Lloyd Wigg
has been one of the latest successes in
Europe. The bloom is shown in the ac-
companying illustration. The color is
canary yellow and just a shade lighter
than the most popular yellow varieties
grown for the American cut flower mar-
kets. It has been one of the notable
successes on the other side of the At-
lantic, some wonderful blooms having
been seen at the English exhibitions.
C. H. Totty staged it at some of the
autumn flower shows in this country
and is enthusiastic over it, although he
says his stock was received so late that
he believes he will get decidedly better
results in 1913.

THE BEST EXHIBITION MUMS.

Ninth Annual Beview of the Shows.

In accordance with our custom for
the last nine years, we give below a
summary of the varieties of chrys-
anthemums which a review of the sea-
son's exhibitions indicates as being
probably the best in their respective
colors for the exhibitor to grow.

The Leading Whites.

White. — William Turner, Mrs. Gilbert
Drabble, Annie Angus, Lady Carmi-
chael, Mrs. David Syme, Naomah.

In this section it is simply wonderful
the way William Turner has been ex-
hibited during the season just closed.
In every exhibition it was the premier
white and as grown by some of the
crack private gardeners in the west it
was just a massive ball of beautiful
white.

Mrs. Gilbert Drabble, which will un-
questionably be a large factor next
year, was the "largest flower in the
show" at several of the exhibitions.
It is a looser type of flower than Tur-
ner, has a much larger spread, and I
look to see Drabble possibly top the
list next season.

Annie E. Angus, as a reflexed or
drooping type, certainly has made good.
Some wonderful flowers of this variety
were staged in New York and, while
it is a little deficient in foliage as com-
pared with the preceding varieties, it
has a distinct place in the classes for
short-stemmed flowers.

Lady Carmichael has climbed over
Mrs. David Syme, chiefly because the
latter has developed a tendency to run
soft and on that account this fall many
fine flowers simply rotted on the plant.
Another year this tendency liiay not be
apparent, but if it is Mrs. Syme will
have to drop away down in the list,

Naomah gives us a beautiful flower
and I believe should be more largely
giown.

Improved Yellows Needed.

Yellow.— F. S. Vallis, Mrs. J. C. Neil,

Chrysanthemiste Montigny, Eamapo,
Yellow Miller, Mary Donnellau.

We still are waiting for the variety
larger than F. S. Vallis, but so far with-
out success. Mrs. J. C. Neil meantime
holds its own as an exhibition variety
and when planted early and well done,
although the color is pale, it certainly
produces a handsome flower.

Chrysanthemiste Montigny is inclined
to spot badly at the tips of the petals,
but just at present is able, in spite of
this handicap, to hold its own. As a
matter of fact, we could use two or
three improved yellows at this time.

Eamapo is a fine general service
flower, but with most of us this year
was a little too early for the exhibi-
tions. For this I blame the weather, as
the year previous it was shown in ex-

Chrysanthemum Mrs. Lloyd yf^igg»

oellent shape at the November shows.
Time will prove whether Bamapo will
have to be classed as too early or not.
Yellow Miller and Marv Donnellan
are both well known older varieties, the
latter being almost invincible as re-
gards color, although not any too well
furnished with foliage.

Few Changes in Pinks.

rink. — Wells' Late Pink, Lady Hope-
toun, F. E. Nash, Miriam Hankey, Will-
iam Duckham, Loiseau-Kousseau.

This year shows practically no
changes in pink from last year, save
that I have transposed and put Wells'
Late Pink first and Nash third on the
list.

Novelties are, of course, omitted from
this list, but next year there will pos-
sibly be a different line-up in the pink
section. Elberon as a novelty looks as
though it would do some crowding in
this section.

Crimson. — Pockett's Crimson, Wood-
mason, William Kleinheinz, P. T. Quit-
tenton, Mrs. Harry Turner.

When it has had a long enough pe-
riod to grow, Pockett's Crimson pro-
duces a flower that is simply charming.
The color is glorious, it does not damp
and, where the tips of the petals curl
upwards to show the yellow reverse, it
accentuates rather than detracts from
the beautiful crimson.

Woodmason is a large, heavy flower
that has still to be reckored with in
this section. I thought William Klein-
heinz would displace it, but Kleinheinz
this year did not show the size I had
expected it to, and for the present it
must stand behind Woodmason.

Quittenton was well shown in quite a
few places, as was also Mrs. Harry Tur-
ner. Some of our best growers did not
have much success with the latter vari-
ety, because they took the bud too
early. A bud around September 1 pro-
duces a large, finely colored flower of
Mrs. Harry Turner, with stiff stem and
well able to hold its own.

Converse King of Odd Colors.

Bronze and any other color. — Harry
E. Converse, C. H. Totty, Glenview,
Mrs. H. Stevens, Mrs. O. H. Kahn, W.
Mease.

In this section Converse is at the
present time the king. Everywhere it
was shown it was a winner and it is
also an excellent keeper, which is no
light consideration when the season
happens to be, as it was this year, warm
and bright and flowers are damping by
the wholesale.

C. H. Totty is still good, although it
is much better the last week in October
than the second week in November, as
is also Eose Pockett.

Glenview is a fine, hard flower that
is always exhibited and generally comes
pretty close to first money.

Mrs. H. Stevens is possibly the larg-
est of this whole section, but it does
not line up for color with Converse or
Totty. The other two varieties, Mease
and Kahn, are both almost too well
known to call for any further comment.

Taking the shows as a whole, I think
we are entirely safe in saying that the
interest displayed was more than is
usually the case in fall exhibitions, on
the part of the public, and the quality
staged by the exhibitors leaves little
to be desired. C. H. Totty.

Sllverdale, Pa. — Geo. K. Kester, who
sold his business here some years ago,
has returned and has repurchased the
property, including the greenhouses and
thirteen acres of ground.

OESEBVATIONS ON aLAOIOU.

[A synopsis of a paper by O. D. Black, or
Independence, la., read at the forty-fourth an-
nual convention of the Iowa State Horticultural
Society, at Dea Moines. ]

My attention was first called to the
gladiolus by M. Crawford, who was the
first large grower of seedlings in Amer-
ica. The interest in this flower has
greatly increased each year, until now
there are many who grow fields of them
for the cut flower and bulb trade. This
is a healthful, outdoor occupation, well
adapted to women, several of whom are
already making a success of it. A few
of the specialists devote more than 100
acres each to this purpose.

For a succession of blooms, a portion
of the bulbs can be planted as soon as
danger of freezing is past, and the re-
mainder at intervals of two weeks until
July. The bulbs will endure some freez-
ing under favorable conditions.

The bulbs should be planted from two
to six inches deep, according to size, and
only slightly covered, filling the furrows
after the bulbs have grown up a few
inches. They will stand close planting
in good soil. We think the best distance
for garden culture is two inches apart in
rows twelve inches apart. In heavy soil
we have found that a light covering of
sand after the bulbs have been placed in
the bottom of the furrow is beneficial.
In the field we plant them quite thickly,
in rows twenty-eight inches apart.

Diseases.

The gladiolus is afflicted with but few
diseases or insect enemies. The bulbs are
liable to become scabby in soil where
scabby potatoes have been grown. I
have proved that corrosive sublimate is
a sure remedy for this by treating sev-
eral lots of bulbs from other growers the
same as we treat potatoes before plant-
ing. Another disease is a rust or blight,
resembling potato blight in appearance,
and it results in weakening the plant and
causing the bulbs to ripen prematurely.
Some varieties are immune or blight-
proof. Most varieties are more or less
resistant. There seems to be a disease in
the eastern states which causes the bulbs
to rot, the exact nature of which I do not
know. We have the promise of a bulletin
on this subject from the New York State
Agricultural Department when its investi-
gations are completed.

Seenring Good Stock.

Old bulbs, after blooming a few sea-
sons, lose their vigor and produce but few
bulblets. Bulbs two years old from the
bulblet are the most satisfactory. After
buying the America gladiolus two or
three times and always getting old bulbs,
we endeavored to secure young stock
from the introducers. They replied that
they had no young stock of America for
sale.

Many inferior varieties have been
named and listed that should now be dis-
carded. We have bought what several of
the principal growers call their best mix-
tures and have planted them for compari-
son, and the most of them are only fair,
with a possible good one mixed in. An
extensive grower claims to have over 15,-
000 varieties. How many poor and or-
dinary varieties must be included in that
number! If he would select the best one
from each hundred and discard the other
ninety-nine, he would have in the 150
selected ones all that are necessary for
all practical purposes.

Some New Varieties.

It is interesting and somewhat expen-

Quysanthemum Mn. Gilbert Drabble.

sive to test tHe new varieties that are of-
fered each season. The past season we
had Coblentz, ISo. 54; Taconic and
George Betchter from different sources,
and they all proved to be identically the
same variety. Coblentz, No. 312, which,
I understand, he has named Emma, is a
fine, large, red variety, with very stiflE
spikes, and is much superior to Brench-
leyensis for border planting. Stewart's
No. 52, which he has named President
Taft, and which will be introduced by
him this season, is very vigorous. The
color is nearly the same shade of pink as
Taconic, but with much larger, wide-open
fltfwers. Among the new varieties from
Europe, Sans-Pareil and Col. Desterane
pleased us best. Primulinus, a native
variety from South Africa, is the purest
and brightest yellow we have seen. The
flowers are small and the spike not much
larger than a straw.

Propagation.

Gladiolus bulbs are produced and in-
creased in three ways. One or more bulbs
form just above the old bulb that is
planted in the spring, and these are all
that are usually saved by the average
small grower. Varieties are perpetuated
by planting the bulblets or offsets. Most
of the bulbs of commerce are produced
from these.

When you remove the wings or mono
plane from a gladiolus seed, you have a
miniature bulb almost identical with the
parent bulb in shape, appearance and
composition. The bulb grown from this
seed is the first one of a new variety. We
have grown many thousands of seedlings
and have not yet found two exactly alike.
Our first experience growing these seed-
lings was with seed procured from a
friend, and we should judge from results
that it had not been carefully selected.
Our next planting was with seeds saved
by ourselves from selected Groff's hy-
brids. Then we planted seeds from named
varieties that were grown away from the
others, and finally seeds that were pro-
duced by hand pollenization. Each step
was an improvement on the preceding
one. The gladiolus haa been cross-fertil-

ized for so many generations that it ii
only by chance that we sometimes get a
seedling resembling its parents. The
humming bird is to a great extent respon-
sible for this. The fine feathers on its
head collect the pollen grains as with a
brush, to be used on the next flower it
visits. We counted nearly a dozen of
these birds at work on our field at tha,
■ame time.

Producing New Sorts. '

By keeping a record of our hand
crosses for a number of years, we shall
be able to produce with greater certainty
the varieties that we desire. That many
of the best varieties for Europe and else-
where are not adapted to our climate^
with its extreme droughts, is shown by
observations during the last summer.
Hand pollenization is nearly worthless
unless care is used to exclude foreign
pollen and also to prevent self-fertiliae-
tion. We select a strong, vigorous spike,
of the variety on which we wish to oper-
ate, on which the two lower blossoms are
nearly ready to expand, and carefully re-
move the anthers from these with smal)
pliers, then cover immediately with a
No. 2 strong manila paper bag, by tying
it xjlosely about the stem. We cut away
the remainder of the spike before cover-
ing, to prevent self-fertilization, and also
that the seeds may have the full benefit
and vigor of the parent plant. The con-
ditions surrounding the parent plant have
much to do in forming the character of
the next generation. About twenty-four
uours later, or when the pistils in the
flower from which we have removed the
anthers have come to maturity, we pollen-
ize them with pollen from the selected va-
riety, using the stamens as a small brush.
This pollen should be obtained from
flowers that have been previously covered,,
80 that it may not be mixed with other
pollen carried by the wind or insecti.

WEAK-STEMMED ENCHANTRESS.

I should like to get some advice on
carnations. My plants have nice, large
blooms, but the stems are weak. I used
new soil last fall, with cow manure and
some lime. I have not given any feed
yet. How would chicken manure do?
I run the house at a night temperature
of 50 to 52 degrees. The varieties are
Enchantress and White Enchantress.
Would lime or wood ashes help them?

M. C.

The temperature at which you are
•carrying your carnations is about right,
but could be reduced to 48 or 50 de-
igrees with good results; 52 degrees is
cot too high if a fairly heavy soil is
used, but if the soil is rather light the
stems are apt to lack in strength. The
growth will be a . trifle slower in the
lower temperature, but the higher qual-
ity of the cut will easily make up for
that. One or two applications of hy-
drated lime or of wood ashes, applied
a month apart, will strengthen the
stems materially. Use a 2% -inch pot-
ful of lime to each row of plants half-
way across a 5-foot bed.

TO DRIVE OUT ANGLEWORMS.

How many pounds of slaked lime
should be used in each 100 gallons of
water, for watering rose bedst Would
it drive out angleworms? Please state
the proportion, also, for carnations.

W. W. E.

Instead of watering your carnation
beds with lime water, I would suggest
that you sprinkle the slaked or hy-
drated lime over the beds and water
it in. Not that this method would be
particularly superior to the other, as
far as results are concerned, but there
would be greater ease of application.
Apply about a 2%-inch potful of lime
to each row of plants halfway across
a 5-foot bed. This will drive out an-
gleworms, and will benefit your carna-
bions in other ways as well.

NITRATE OF SODA.

Will you kindly tell me what propor-
tion of nitrate of soda to use in water-
ing geraniums and carnations?

H. G. N.

The standard strength, in using ni-
trate of soda for watering plants, is
•one pound of the chemical to fifty gal-
Hons of water. The intervals between

applications will be determined by the
condition and the requirements of the
stock. The weather will also be one of
the principal factors in determining the
amount needed. If the weather is
bright and the plants are in full growth,
one application each week will not be
too much. But if the weather is cloudy,
be careful not to overdo it. At the
least sign of softness, weaken the solu-
tion and make the applications lees fre-
quent.

Nitrate of soda is one of the most
valuable of chemical fertilizers for
feeding pot plants, in order to put size
and finish on the blooms, but does not
find much favor with carnation grow-
ers, on account of its tendency to pro-
duce softness in the bloom and conse-
quent poor keeping quality.

THE LONDON CARNATION SHOW.

A New Record Made.

The annual winter show of the Per-
petual Flowering Carnation Society was
held in the Boyal Horticultural hall,
London, December 3 and 4. In point of
size, quality of blooms and attendance
of the public, it eclipsed all previous
carnation shows held in England. Alto-
gether it was a marked success and
members of the society were congratu-
lating one another upon the remarkable
advance in interest which each succes-
sive year brings forth.

In the leading class for group of cut
flowers the gold medal went to C. En-
gelmann, Saffron Walden, who staged
quite a number of varieties of his own
raising. Sunstar, among his novelties,
was particularly radiant. Second prize
and silver gilt medal went to W. Wells

& Co., Ltd., Merstham. Scarlet Glow,
White House and Benora were striking
in their exhibit. The third prize was
won by the Clury Nurseries. The
Brunton challenge cup for British nov-
elties was awarded to C. Engelmann for
Sunstar, Carola and Lady Northcliffe.

The American Cup.

The American cup for novelties was
won by H. F. Mason, Hampton Hill,
with Dorothy Gordon, Gloriosa and
White Wonder. W. E. Wallace followed
with Gloriosa, Benora and Dorothy
Gordon; third, C. Engelmann, with
Benora, Pocahontas and Bosette.

The silver gilt medal for the best
vase in the show went to a splendid
vase of Lady Meyer shown by W. E.
Guile, of the Newport Carnation
Nursery.

In the color classes the leading
awards went to W. E. Guile, Stuart
Low & Co., W. E. Wallace, C. Engel-
mann and H. F. Mason. Enchantress,
Baroness de Brienen, Pink Delight,
Una Wallace, Mrs. C. W. Ward, Scarlet
Glow, White Perfection and White En-
chantress were the leaders.

In fancies, W. E. Wallace was first,
with Benora; Stuart Low & Co., second,
with the same variety.

For novelty not in commerce, All-
wood Bros, scored with Mary All wood;
W. E. Wallace, second, with Una Wal-
lace; W. Wells & Co., Ltd., third, with
Salmon Enchantress.

The principal non-competitive exhib-
its were as follows: G. Engelmann,
gold medal, a comprehensive collection
of American and British varieties;
Stuart Low & Co., gold medal, with
fine Baroness de Brienen in the col-
lection; Young & Co., Cheltenham, sil-

British Varieties.

E. F. Fel*on & Sons were awarded
a silver gilt medal for a collection of
twenty-four British varieties. The
most noteworthy sorts were R. F. Fel-
ton, Lady Meyer, Snowstorm, Lady
Northcliffe, Empire Day, Marmion,
Una Wallace, Carola, Sunstar, Lady
Alington, Baroness de Brienen, British
Queen, Union Jack, Queen Mary, Brit-
ish Triumph, etc.

To gain an award of merit, a variety
must score at least 75 points out of a
possible 100. The following were suc-
cessful: Mary Allwood, 84 points, from
Allwood Bros., a brilliant cherry red
of perfect form, with smooth petals;
Snowstorm, 82 points, from W. Law-
renson, a giant among whites, with fine
depth of flower and substance; Mrs.
A. F. Dutton, 79 points, from A. F.
Dutton, pale pink, charming flowers,
a sport from White Perfection; Baron-
ess de Brienen, 76 points, from Stuart
Low & Co., clear salmon pink. Benora
also received an award of merit.

Annual Meeting and Banquet.

The annual meeting and banquet
were presided over by J. S. Brunton
and all passed over with great eclat.
At the banquet the leading speakers
were: M. Todd, Edinburgh; W. Law-
renson, Yarm; W. H. Page, Hampton,
and S. Mortimer, Farnham.

At the business meeting the commit-
tee reported on the work of the past
year and referred to the donation of
£11 from American visitors to the in-
ternational banquet in May. The treas-
urer presented an encouraging report
on the funds of the society. J. S.
Brunton was reelected chairman; W. E.
Wallace, vice-chairman; L. J. Cook,
treasurer; T. A. Weston, secretary.

In connection with the show, a con-
ference on carnation culture was at-
tended by over 200 persons. J. Gard-
ner read a paper and the discussion
should have been opened by the cham-
pion grower, W. E. Wallace, but, un-
fortunately, he met with an accident
at home about two days before and
was unable to attend. He is progressing
satisfactorily. Messrs. Sherwood, En-
gelmann. Page, Mason, Wells, Weston,
Dutton, Hawes, etc., took part in the
proceeidings.

Carnations had a good inning during
the week and the prospects are deci-
dedly good for the society's future.

CARNATION CULTUBE IN BEIEF.

(A paper by Aubrey A. Pembroke, of Beverly.
Mass., read before the North Shore Hortlcultnral
Society. ]

The carnation is one of the best
flowers we have in commerce, as it is
comparatively easy to grow and is so
useful in almost all decorative schemes.
It is also indispensable for bouquet
work and designs of all kinds. It is,
in my opinion, second only to the queen
of flowers, the rose.

As regards the cultivation of the
carnation, all that is necessary is al-
most any fairly good soil, enriched with
good fertilizer, and a whole lot of care
after planting. I think the care and
attention bestowed on the plants after
they are in the house has more bearing
on the success of the crop than has
character of the soil used. Such things

as too much heat, too much water and
too many draughts are the most fre-
quent causes of failure. The best soU,
to my mind, possible to get is the top
sod from an old pasture, plowed about
four inches deep and stacked either in
the fall or early spring, it matters little
which, as the results will be about
the same. In stacking, use about one-
fourth good cow manure, putting one
layer of sod and one layer of manure
alternately, sprinkling in about one
bushel of lime to four cartloads of
loam; also, a few pounds of salt can
be added and will prove beneficial. The
compost heap should be cut down a few'
weeks before planting and should be
turned over as frequently as labor fa-
cilities will allow, mixing in a small
proportion of bone fiour, which I think
i» more advisable than top dressing
with bone.

Benching the Stock.

The time for planting to get the best
results is from July 10 to August 1, but
good results will be obtained if the
planting is finished by September 10.
Later planting than that is not advis-
able, as after that time the plants will
not be established and in flower by
winter, and when they do flower they
will be apt to be soft-stemmed, with
smaller blossoms than the early planted
ones. Large plants will suffer much
more from late planting than smaller
ones.

About five to six inches of soil in
the benches or beds will be ample.
There is a difference of opinion con-
cerning benches and solid beds, some
claiming the solid beds require more
careful watering and are slower in
flowering in the middle of winter. I,
myself, think they more than make
up for any lack of production in win-
ter by being of much better quality
in the spring and early summer months,
which, after all, is the time the houses
produce the greatest quantity of flowers
and also of money, which is the thing
that counts most to the commercial
Oian.

The plants should be lifted with a
nice ball and with all the roots possi-

ble. In planting, firm nicely around
the plants and leave the soil around
them fairly level. The habit of leav-
ing a basin around the plant is objec-
tionable, as in filling in there are sure
to be lots of plants that will have too
much soil piled around them, which
is a great inducement to stem-rot. It
is advisable not to dig more plants
at a time than can be planted before
their roots dry and the plants wilt, as
plants that suffer in that way will not
recover and start to grow half so
quickly as their more fortunate com-
panions.

When a bench is planted, give the
plants a fairly good watering, enough
to wot the ball nicely and the soil
around them, but do not soak the bed
down as though there would never be
any more water to give them. Avoid
draughts, and shade the house a little
if the weather is hot, but do not put
on too heavy a shade or far more harm
will be done than by the sun.

After the planting is finished, the
best advice I can offer is to watch them
carefully and find out for yourself the
exact condition of the plants, and be
governed accordingly.

Heavy watering before the roots are
established is detrimental to the plants,
as is being too dry, but to a much
lesser degree, as the harm done by their
being too dry is much easier remedied
than that done by overwatering.

Fumigation and Feeding.

Fumigation should be done once
evory week to keep down green-fly
and thrips, and syringing should be
started on the first appearance of red
spider and kept up on every bright
day until there is not one to be seen.
Even then there will be plenty left to
come foith on the first warm day or
two in the spring.

It is woU to support the plants as
soon as povssible after planting, either
with one of the carnation supports of-
fered in thi' trade journals or with
wires lengthwise of the benches and
strings across to prevent them falling
about and becoming misshapen. It is
better to keep ahead in this particu-

lar than to let the plants get ahead
of you. Keep all the shoots disbudded,
as the flowers will be much better than
if the side buds are allowed to get large
before doing bo.

After the houses have been planted
about ten weeks, and if the plants are
growing strong and hard, you may
safely start feeding by top dressing,
using either soot, sheep manure or
bone. Rub it nicely into the soil,
which should be loose on top if the
benches have been cultivated as they
should be, but do not dig deeply into
the soil, as it tears the fine roots and
checks the growth of the plants. This
can be done every two weeks or so,
always providing the growth is strong,
which it invariably will be by this
time if the plants were good and the
soil rich and sweet.

With early planting and good mate-
rial to work with there will be a nice
crop of flowers and buds showing by
October 1, which, if the plants have
been systematically pinched back in
the . field, should continue to increase
right through the winter and spring.

Top dressing should not be persisted
in from December 1 to February 1, as
the days are then short and the weather
most likely to be cloudy. After Feb-
ruary 1, if the plants are still doing
well, they will need more food, and
liquid manure can be used to advan-
tage about once a week, or top dressing
can again be resorted to, using dried
blood or nitrate of soda in light doses,
or sheep manure or shredded cattle
manure in heavier doses, and, if avail-
able, a good inch or so of rotted stable
manure, which also will help to keep
the beds from drying out too quickly.
If the grower has handled his plants
properly, by this time (February 1) he
will have the pleasure of having a fine
crop of flowers Standing on strong,
straight stems thirty-six to forty-five
inches above the soil.

The Temperature.

From now on the grower's worries
grow less concerning the growth of his
plants, but if red spider gets a good
foothold at this time his real troubles
have only commenced, as they will
keep him busy with the hose and make
him wonder where they all came from.
But if his courage is good and he is per-
sistent with cold water, he will be able
to keep them down, although he cannot
hope to utterly destroy them.

Carnations will do well with a night
temperature of 48 to 52 degrees. The day
temperature should be governed by the
weather, not allowing it to rise above
60 degrees on cloudy days and 72 de-
grees on bright days in winter, but
after March 1, when the sun is getting
higher, it may rise to 80 degrees in the
middle of the day. Nothing will be
gained by getting a few extra flowers
in winter by running the houses a
few degrees higher, as the plants will
be, sure to suffer.

To have success with carnations it
is essential that the plants have proper
care from the time the cuttings are put
in the sand until they are thrown out
of the house at the end of the flowering
season. Careful propagation is espe-
cially important. The cuttings should
be taken from the flowering shoots,
care being taken not to use those too
near the top of the stem, as these are
not so strong and will not make such
nice, bushy plants as those lower down.

It Points

IN the flower business a man is lim-
ited merely by his ambition— the
opportunity is at his hand to go as
far as he likes.

Location counts for little. It is as
easily possible for the florist in the
small town to do a business that covers
a dozen states — or the whole country —
as it is for the one who is located in a
big city. Indeed, in many respects the
small town florist has the advantage.
It isn't a question of situation — it de-
pends only on ambition and the ability
to grow good stock.

The demand for plants has developed
much faster than the supply. At
Christmas, at Easter, in the spring.

Propagation.

The best time to take cuttings is in
January and February, as plants rooted
at that time will make a better growth
and will not be so likely to get hard as
if rooted earlier. If a large number
of plants of any one variety is needed
it is advisable to get all the cuttings
possible, both before and after those
months. The sand used should be sharp
and clean and free from loam. "Whether
it is fine or fairly coarse makes but
little difference. It should be about
three inches deep in the bench, with a
good drainage, and it cannot be firmed
too much. The cuttings should be
taken with a heel and the ragged end
cut off with a sharp knife. The long
foliage may be trimmed off the top,
as that allows the air to circulate
among them more freely. Put them in
about three-quarters to an inch deep
and firm the sand nicely around them.
Then be sure to give them a good
watering, enough to wet the sand right

through. Keep them from draughts
and shade from the sun, but do not
shade too heavily or they will get
soft and will not do as well when taken
from the sand. Give them a light
spraying each morning for the first
ten days, if the weather permits, and
water them if the sand shows signs
of drying out.

Care of Young Stock.

Most of our cuttings taken in the
winter months receive no water from
the time they are first watered in until
taken out, and I find they root better
than those that have to be watered.

The propagating house should be kept
at from 50 to 54 degrees and air should
be given on all bright days, always
guarding against draughts. Enough
bottom. heat to keep the sand at about
58 degrees will help to make them root,
but I would not advise anything higher
than that.

and all the time, there is the field for
the man who has the courage to work
up stock and advertise it strongly. The
stores without growing facilities stand
ready to take all the good stock offered.
Indeed, they are hungry for it.

Let the man take note who is not
content with the prosperous little trade
of his limited local field — here is an
opportunity of which at the present
no man can see the limits — a limitless
wholesale market easily accessible
through The Keview — the opportunity
to build up a business and a name that
shall be known to the trade the country
over — a source of pride and profit.

Mr. Frey irivertited exclusively in The Review

When rooted the young plants may
be either potted into 2-inch pots or may
be put directly into flats, about two
and one-half inches apart, using a nice
loam which does not contain too much
manure. If 2-ineh pots are used, the
plants* should be put into flats or 3-inch
pots as soon as they show a nice lot of
roots around the pot. Give the plants
plenty of air as soon as they commence
to grow and do not overwater, but
allow them to dry out and then water
thoroughly, as by doing this you will
keep the soil sweet and the plants
healthy.

Pinch the plants when they are high
enough for the tops to be broken off
clean, leaving four or five joints, which
will give you strong side shoots and a
sound foundation for good growth.

Plant out in this locality as soon
after May 1 as weather conditions will
warrant, so that the roots will have a
good foothold before the hot weather
comes.

The soil in the field should be made

fairly rich with rotted stable manure.
Attend strictly to cultivation and top-
ping, going over the field at least once
a week. Cultivation will bring the
plants through a hot, dry summer in
a much healthier condition than if
watering is resorted to.

If I were asked which are the most
popular varieties of carnations around
Boston, I would name Pink Delight a
good first, Gloriosa second, with White
Enchantress and Whit.e Wonder pretty
even for third place. Beacon is always
in great demand for the holidays, but
will be deposed as soon as one as free
and of a better color is produced.
Among the new varieties, Benora is do-
ing finely and has every appearance of
being the best variegated carnation yet
raised.

Future of the Flower.

The carnation is without dispute a
beautiful flower and I often feel that
the man who chooses the growing of
it for a livelihood derives far more
pleasure from it than do his patrons

who buy them to decorate their tables.
There are no secrets in raising this
wonderful flower, and there never was
one man who could raise such fine flow-
ers but that there were others who
could raise them just as good.

In visiting the establishments of
some of our leading hybridizers 1 have
formed a firm opinion that more than
one of the seedlings I have seen are
destined to eclipse some of the present
standard varieties.

The flower industry has grown won-
derfully during the last twenty years,
and the demand for the products of the
florist is increasing all the time at a
rapid pace. No one can say what the
advance will be during the next twenty
years. Owing to the enormous strides
made iu improvement of greenhouse
building, and to the efforts of garden-
ers and florists to raise new varieties
of sterling worth, the buyiilg public is
now able to buy finer flowers at lower
prices, which has greatly stimulated
trade, for where are the persons who
would not deprive themselves of some
other luxury in order to have some
of nature's most luxurious creations f

The sale of artiflcial flowers should
soon be a thing of the past, as to most
people such a substitute must appear
as the cheapest of all imitations.

HOME-MADE BEMEDIES.

Some time ago The Review printed
an article by someone on his trouble
with the roller moths and his laborious
method of catching them. I think if
he will try the following method he
will not be troubled so much. Take
a large pan, such as a dishpan. Place
an oil lamp in it, on a brick or such,
and pout in about one and one-half
inches of water and just a little oil.
The light will attract the moths after
dark and they will fall into the oil,
which will quickly finish them.

The same remedy will do the work
for those who are troubled with grubs
in their grounds outside, except that
a lantern should be used instead of a
lamp. Try this in your carnation patch
in May and June, when the June bugs
are seeking a place to deposit their
eggs, and see what you get. You will
find the ounce of prevention is better
than the pound of cure.

And another article about December
5, about a party trying to kill snails
with oil. Tell him to try salt and I
promise him they will turn their toes
up at once. T. M. Fitzgerald.

TO EEMOVE HAED PUTTY.

I should like to find out what is the
best and easiest way to remove old
putty from greenhouse bars.

E. H.

If the putty is too hard to be re-
moved with a sharp chisel, run over it
first with a hot soldering iron, which
will loosen it so that it can be readily
scraped off. T.

Bftnsies.

If you have what appears to be an
insufficient stock of fall-sown pansies,
you can increase your supply by sowing
seeds in flats now, in a cool greenhouse.
Sow the seeds rather thinly and trans-
plant into flats before they get drawn
or crowded. A temperature of 40 to
45 degrees for these should not be
exceeded. These pansies will not bloom
early, like the fall-sown ones, but for
late sales and summer blooming are
quite satisfactory. You can also sow
double daisies, Delphinium Chinense
and hybrid delphiniums now. All these
will flower next season.

Hydrangeas.

Hydrangeas are not so popular at
Easter as some other plants. They sell
better for Memorial day, but a good
many are annually disposed of. The
new race of French hybrids are now
more common, and as these make excel-
lent pot plants and are preferable in
many respects to H. Otaksa we look to
see a large sale for them the coming
Easter. AH the hydrangeas should now
go into heat. Do not use too warm a
house at first; 48 lo 50 degrees at night
will suffice. When nicely started they
can have 10 degrees more heat and, as
soon as the flower heads peep, even a
little more can be added. If pot-grown
through the summer it will be found
that they respond more quickly when
placed in warmth than do those potted
up in the fall. It would be well to re-
member that the pot-grown stock will
require a great deal more water than
the others.

Bambler Boses.

As in the case of hydrangeas, ram-
bler roses which have been pot-grown
will give much the best account of
themselves for an- early Easter, but fall-
potted plants can easily be flowered on
time. The day of Crimson Bambler as
an Easter plant has passed and the pink
varieties now have the call. A year
ago Dorothy Perkins, Tausendschon and
Lady Gay were leaders, with Hiawatha,
"White Perkins, Wedding Bells, Amer-
ican Pillar and one or two other sorts
all appearing in fair quantity. It used
to be considered that white plants only
could be sold at Easter, but now the
tendency is each year more marked to
buy colored ones, and white a year ago
was more druggy than any other color,
apart, of course, from lilies themselves.

The roses must not be started warm.
Provide 45 to 50 degrees until they
break, after which give more heat, and
still more may be given in the final
stages if they seem at all backward,
but I do not like to run them over 60
degrees at night, as hard forcing makes
them soft and susceptible to mildew.
Spray freely until the plants break,
then more cautiously, so as not to get
mildew. Cold draughts and too much
moisture will soon start this trouble
and, as it renders plants practically un-

salable, every care should be taken to
keep it away. /

IiilacB.

Pot-grown stock of lilacs imported
from Europe is now at hand. If wanted
for the flowers alone, keep them dark
and warm until the flowers start to ex-
pand, but if plants for store trade are
needed give them a hot, moist house,
frequent syringings and a cooler house
when the flowers start to open. If taken
from a warm house to a low tempera-
ture they will wilt badly, and it is well
to give these and all other deciduous
shrubs subjected to hard forcing a grad-
ual lowering of the heat to prepare
them for exposure to a comparatively
low temperature. • It is much too early
to start these or any of the other de-
ciduous flowering shrubs for Easter.

Seed Sowing.

There are a number of seeds which
can be profitably started now. The
germination at this early season will,
in nearly every case, be found much

DON'T MISS IT

better than if sowing is delayed a cou-
ple of months. Practically all seeds
want a light soil; one containing two-
thirds leaf-mold, one-third loam and
some fine sand to make it porous is
suitable. For such seeds as begonias
and gloxinias the soil is better steril-
ized. In fact, if facilities exist for ster-
ilization, and it is possible on nearly all
places, at least in a moderate way, it
pays to do it, for then all weed seeds,
fungoid germs, insect life and worms
are destroyed.

A few seeds suitable for present sow-
ing are: Tuberous rooted begonia,
gloxinia. Asparagus Sprengeri and plu-
mosus, Ardisia crennlata, Grevillea ro-

busta, antirrhinums for a late indoor
crop, ten weeks' stocks for a spring-
crop, Early Wonder or Queen of
the Market aster for an indoor crop,,
annual lupines, annual larkspurs,.
Dimorphotheca aurantiaca and Lep-
tosyne maritima, these latter annuals
all being serviceable plants to grow
for a spring crop, particularly where
fiowers a little out of the beaten track
are wanted.

TOO MUCH rUMIQATION.

Enclosed you will -find samples of
violets, carnations and heliotropes.
What seems to be the matter? I have
the violets on a south bench, part of
which gets no sun; the carnations are
in the same house, on solid beds, and
the heliotropes are in pots. I smoke
the house with tobacco stems twice a
week. The soil is black loam, enriched
with cow manure, well rotted. The
violets have not done well since I set
them in from outdoors. They are al-
most all affected more or less. I have
no success with alternantheras and will
send a sample. I brought in plants that
were doing as finely as one could ex-
pect, but in the pots and benches they
wither and finally get into the same
condition as the sample. Kindly help
me out. L. M. S.

You are growing in one house a va-
riety of plants that require radically
different temperatures. For instance,^
violets want a night temperature of
40 to 45 degrees; carnations, 50 to 54
degrees. Heliotropes will do well in
the carnation temperature, but would
be chilled with violets. Alternantheras
might winter at 50 to 54 degrees, but
would do much better 5 to 10 degrees
warmer. But the temperature alone
would hardly be responsible for your
scorched foliage, and the leaves for-
warded seem in each case to be burned.

Tobacco stems are not now used as
they were even a decade ago. The va-
rious tobacco extracts, nicotine papers,
hydrocyanic acid gas and improved in
secticides to be used as sprays hav(»^
relegated the tobacco stems to the rear.
They are cheap, but messy and danger-
ous unless used with considerable care.
They leave a disagreeable odor behind
them, making flowers unsalable for
twenty-four hours or more after using,
and if the user allows his stems to take
fire, which has probably been done with
yours, foliage and flowers both suffer
severely. I believe all your troubles
are due to too much smoke. The house
does not need fumigating twice a week;
once a week is ample, and where proper
spraying is done, little smoking is
needed. I would advise dropping to-
bacco stems in favor of one of the
nicotine papers. These leave no bad
smell behind them, are cleanly and will
not hurt the leaves or flowers. C. W.

Higliland Park Ginservatory Greenhousest Edward G. Bass, Proprietor, Topeka, Kan.

NOTHINa MATTER IN KANSAS.

On East Fifteenth street at Topeka,
Kan., Edward G. Bass has about 10,000
feet of glass which he operates under
the name of the Highland Park Con-
servatory Greenhouses. This season
four new houses have been added to the
range, each 22x100. Mr. Bass was for
twelve years employed in the business,
but now for sixteen years has managed
his own establishment. He does both a
wholesale and retail business in cut
flowers and plants and also handles all
kinds of landscape gardening. No
longer is there anything the matter
with Kansas, and with a trolley by the
door Mr. Bass needs the extra space
provided by his new glass.

DICKSON GETS MEDAL.

The National Kose Society of Eng-
land, at its December meeting, by
unanimous vote awarded the Dean Hole
Memorial Medal to George Dickson, as
head of the firm which, in the opinion
of the members of this famous society,
has done most for the rose. The per-
sonal friends of George Dickson, and
the many friends of the firm in this
country, will certainly be glad to learn
of this signal honor.

George Dickson entered upon his
eighty-first year in July, 1912, and while
relieved from active work by his sons,
is still greatly interested in the an-
nual introductions of the firm of which
he has so long been head. As all Amer-
ican florists know, the firm of Alexander
Dickson & Sons, Ltd., of Belfast and
Dublin, has its nurseries at Newtown-
ards. County Down, Ireland. Mr. Dick-
son has been certainly fortunate in
having the assistance and hearty co-
operation of his six sons. Of these sons
Alexander Dickson and George Dickson
are now the hybridizers and growers
of new roses at Newtownards; Thomas
Dickson is manager of the farms, while
Andrew Dickson is manager of the rose
gardens at Dublin. Hugh Dickson, so
well known as an expert both in sweet
peas and culinary peas, is manager of
the seed business. The legal end of
the business is under the able control
of Gordon Dickson, solicitor in Belfast,
who a few years ago protected the
right of the name Alexander Dickson
by securing letters patent for the dis-
tinctive name "Hawlmark" as applied
to roses, plants and seeds.

The accompanying reproduction of a
photograph of George Dickson will be
interesting, not only to his many per-

sonal friends in America, but also to
thousands of florists who have grown
Killarney, Liberty, Mrs. Jardine and
Melody. The lovely Fire Flame, about
to be introduced, will still further ad-
vance the prestige of the premier
rosarians.

Among the garden peas sent out by
Alexander Dickson & Sons are Pilot,
the largest podded first early smooth
pea, and Boyal Salute, the most popular
of all large podded late peas in Eng-
land. Among the sweet peas are Flor-

George Dickson.

ence Nightingale, Irish Belle and Ver-
milion Brilliant, all three so deservedly
popular in America.

PLANTS FOE EASTEE.

Will you kindly tell me what plants,
sowed or planted now or later, would
bring a profitable crop for Easter f
N. J. H.

There is not time to sow any seeds
and have the plants flowering for
Easter, which is now only three months
away. A few plants which you could
grow and flower at that time, and which
are always in demand, are: Spiraeas,
such as Japonica, Gladstone and astil-
boides. These, if potted in January,

will be on time. You can purchase such
plants as lilacs, deutzias, rhododen-
drons. Azalea mollis. Azalea Indica,
hydrangeas and rambler roses, and force
them into bloom without much trouble,
provided you have a temperature of 60
degrees at night. Some of these will
flower in six weeks from starting, but
the roses and hydrangeas must be
placed in heat as soon as possible.
There are no bulbs which you could
now plant and flower for Easter; all
should have been started before this
time. C. W.

LIVE WIRES.

You hear a whole lot nowadays about
live wires, etc. — how effective they are.
That's all right, and live wires are all
right, so long as they connect. But how
many of them dot

Did you ever see a trolley wire break
and fall to the ground? Not much
doing, except a hurrying of people and
great big flashes of electric light— a lot
of waste power.

Didn't that sparkling trolley wire re-
mind you a whole lot of a great many
so-called live wire people f They furr
around, fume around, apparently very
much alive and very active, but like
the broken wire they don't connect.
They are mostly wasted energy.

I am heartily fond of active people,
but give me the steady puller that's
always ready to deliver the goods, that
keeps up a steady plugging all the
while.

He doesn 't cause any interruptions in
work, because he's a connected wire.
That's the sort you ought to try to be.
Be a live wire, but connect. — Buck's
Shot.

State College, Pa.— Professor Arthur
Westcott Cowell has been placed at the
head of the courses in landscape gar-
dening in the Pennsylvania State Col-
lege, a position previously filled by
Professor John W. Gregg. Mr. Cowell 's
training for the profession began at the
Buffalo Botanical Gardens in 1898 and
has continued through all phases of the
work of a landscape designer. He has
acquired considerable reputation as a
designer, and as a field engineer and
plantsman among landscape gardeners.
A large number of private estates and
parks and railroad improvements
throughout the east bear the earmarks
of his craftsmanship. He was one of
the pioneers on the landscape gardening
course at Cornell University, taking his
degree there in 1903, and immediately
went into active work.

two visits of the paper.

Will the experimenters please get busyf

Saturday, December 21, was the short-
est day of the year — too short by far
for every retail florist, but not so short,
by any means, as were December 23 ancT
24 for all the work that had to be
crowded into them.

Fortunate is the industrious florist
who retails his own product — if the
wholesale prices of mums have this sea-
son averaged less than before, the re-
tailing grower has been able to get at
least as much for his crop as in any other
year.

The Department of Horticulture of
the University of Illinois has issued in
pamphlet form, revised to date of publi-
cation, the two papers presented at the
annual meeting of the Illinois State
Florists ' Association held March 5, 1912,
descriptive of the floriculture research
work at the experiment station. The pa-
pers were printed in full in The Eeview
at the time.

If there is one thing more than another
The Eeview would like to impress on the
trade it is the necessity of keeping faith.
No advertisement should exaggerate and
in every case the stock should be there
when the order arrives. Handling a
perishable commodity, complaints are
bound to arrive, but the man who satis-
fies his customers will work up a big
business, while the man who does not
make good will go the other way.

Most florists consider the retail prices
of cut flowers and plants so greatly above
the wholesale prices that it is a matter
for concealment from all outside the
trade — and certainly such matters are not
those for advertisement — but did you
ever take the trouble to investigate the
manufacturing cost of any of the articles
of staple merchandise! When you do
you will find that what the consumer
pays usually is about three times the fac-
tory cost, sometimes a good deal more.
Selling is what costs, and the florist is
selling cheap.

OBITUARY.

Alexander J. Thomas.

{

Alexander J. Thomas, founder of the
business which is now conducted under
the name of A. J. Thomas & Sons, at
Owego, N. Y., died December 2, at the
age of 77 years. He was born in Ger-
many, and had lived in this country
about forty-five years, impending thirty-
five years of that time in Owego. A
year or two ago, when failing health
compelled him to retire, the business
was reorganized under the present firm
name and two of his sons took charge
of it. He bore an excellent reputation
and had many friends. The funeral
services were held at St. Patrick's
church, and the burial was in St. Jo-
seph's cemetery, Tioga. He is survived
by his wife, by three sons, Joseph A.,
Fred J. and Albert A. Thomas, and by
one daughter. Miss Anna Thomas, of
Owego.

CHICAGO.

The Oreat Central Market.

There were early indications that the
Chicago market would break all records
for Christmas. The number of orders
was surprisingly large and they not
only came earlier than usual but called
for earlier shipment. As early as De-
cember 21 a heavy shipping business
was being done, though the shipments
of December 22 were many times heav-
ier and those of December 23 still
larger. As this issue goes to press,
December 24, shipping is still going on,
though the wholesalers have turned
the greater part of their attention to
getting out city orders.

There was an abundance of roses
this Christmas, although short roses
were scarce. The same culture which
enables the growers to bring in their
crops of Killarneys at the date wanted
produces a large proportion of long
stems. The bulk of the business was
in medium lengths. Buyers would have
taken several times as many short roses
could they have obtained them, but
they wanted the grades selling at above
15 cents only in comparatively limited
quantities. All through the Christmas
rush there have been plenty of the
special long roses while at times other
grades have been well cleaned up. All
roses were excellent except that Killar-
ney was extremely pale in color because
of a week of sunless skies. Beauties
were plentiful. Much of the stock was of
excellent quality but there were many
blue Beauties, showing the process by
which the quantity was obtained.

Carnations were practically the only
flower not in adequate supply this
Christmas. Shipping orders for these
were the heaviest ever known and prob-
ably the average price will figure out
the best thus far recorded. In other
seasons quotations have been about as
high, but not all the stock has sold
so near to quoted prices as has been the
case up to the present writing. Natu-
rally, red has been the scarcest item,
with dark pink next in demand and
in even lighter supply than red. Even
white has sold well. Oood sun Decem-
ber 22 and 23 helped not a little.

There has been an abundance of
violets, principally eastern stock. Most
of these have sold locally and to a few
big buyers, though of course everyone
has used more or less. Cattlevas have

BEAUTIES

We never have seen a finer crop of Beauties than we now have— splendid
color, large, perfect buds, fine foliage; specially strong on long to medium.
When you have tried these Beauties you will agree with us that nothing
finer could be asked. We shall be in full crop through New Year's.

KILLARNEYS

While the quality of our Killameys is fully up to the famous crop of last
season, the supply is very much larger, for the growers greatly increased
their glass. Of course, the longer the stem the finer the flower, but the me-
dium lengths carry the largest flowers we ef6r have seen on these grades.

CARNATIONS

Buyers will find it to their advantage to order Carnations of us. We
have the quantity and our stock is widely known as always the most uni-

A Happy New Year

and knowing we can fulfill the obligation
let us help make

1913 A Prosperous One

To those who have favored us with their orders in
the past, let us thank you for your confidence, and
we need not add that we will continue to give the
same service and satisfaction that has enabled our
firm to take an important position in the world's
greatest flower market. We expect to do bigger
and better things for our patrons in the coming
year, and if you are not already a customer, it will
be worthy of your consideration to give us a trial.
We are growing — why not grow with us?

been on the short side, only one or two
having considerable supplies. Stevia
has been pretty well cleaned up, the
heaviest cut having been early this
season. More chrysanthemums than
usual have been seen and all those of
fair quality have sold well. There has
been a demand for mignonette of qual-
ity that has been difficult to supply.
Paper Whites and Romans have sold
because they were about the cheapest
flowers to be had. Sweet peas were not
available in quantity but sold well. A
little freesia was seen and the first few
trumpets. Also, some Proserpine tulips
came in, but were too short-stemmed
to find much favor. Valley sold well
and such lilies as were offered found
takers.

Poinsettias were not in so large sup-
ply as usual. Weather conditions ap-
pear to have been such that the grow-
ers could not hold the stock back.
There was more of it than ever before
in the early part of the month and the
Christmas stock was both lighter and
poorer than usual. Even under these
conditions there appear to have been
enough cut poinsettias to meet the de-
mand, which seems to be getting lighter
each year.

In the green goods department there
has been enough of everything except
boxwood. This has been scarce, due to

anticipated shipments failing to arrive.
Shortages in holly were only tempo-
rary. Bed berries were plentiful.

Various Notes.
Max Cohen, who for some time

worked for the E. C, Amling Co., and
later for a south side retailer, has
opened a store at 1217 East Sixty-third
street, having taken a lease for five
years and fitted the place up in good
shape. He calls his place the Jackson
Flower Shop.

Steve Minon was burned out, De-
cember 16^, in a fire that destroyed four
stores on Milwaukee avenue, but he
was able to continue.

W. N. Budd reports having cut 5,000
red carnations for Christmas.

H, H. Wilkerson, of H. Wittbold's,
believes that his firm sent out the
largest holly wreath made this season.
It was sixteen feet in diameter and
went to an Evanston church.

Most of the growers had trouble with
their poinsettias this year and good
plants for basket work were not as
abundant as usual. While many were
lost, others were in too big pots to
please the retailers.

A. Henderson reports that the holly
market went on such a rampage Decem-
ber 19 that no one could figure where
the price was going to land.

Joseph A. Paquette is a recent addi-
tion to the staff of E. Wienhoeber Co.
He was with O. C. Saaks, Los Angeles,
and later with Smith & Fetters Co.,
Cleveland.

Greenhouse Co., reports the death, De-
cember 20, of Mrs. Higinbotham,
mother of the widow of the late Gus-
tavo Wittbold, at the family home on
North Halsted street.

N. J. Wietor circulated a petition
last week which was signed by all the
wholesalers in the Atlas block and
which resulted in freight elevator serv-
ice Sunday.

The George Wittbold Co. now has
charge of the plants at the Hotel La
Salle, one of its men spending the hours
from 1 a. m. to 6 a. m. on the job each
night.

John Poehlmann says his company
never filled so many orders as this
Christmas but that the tickets did not
average so large as in some other years,
which latter fact he thinks due to the
impossibility of supplying all the car-
nations and short roses that were called
for.

Peter Eeinberg is using all the wood
on the* Sunburst roses to work up stock
for next season. Most other growers
will do the same thing now that Christ-

mas is over and the supply of cut
flowers will not be large.

E. C. Amling Co. has invested in a
latest model Burroughs adding machine
operated by an electric motor.

Kennicott Bros. Co. had Proserpine
tulips for Christmas, the first noted this
season.

C. W. McKellar says the feature of
the Christmas business was not the
scarcity of carnations but the increased
use of baskets of other material than
flowers.

The A. L. Eandall Co. has added
basket making to its many activities.
Three weavers were first put to work
to meet the demand for special shapes
made to order. The next step will be
to manufacture stock items.

A. L. Vaughan & Co. report that
desert holly was unusually popular this
year and they could hardly meet the
demands, both local and out-of-town
orders being heavier than in previous
years.

John Winandy, who is in the green-
houses of Hoerber Bros., was called in

from Des Plaines to help out on the
shipping during the Christmas rush.
Harry Manheim says the out-of-town
orders amounted to an increase of about
ten per cent over last year.

E. B. Washburn, of Bassett & Wash-
burn, writes from Pasadena that cele-
brating Christmas in California with
Fourth of July weather was a novel
experience to one accustomed to the
"old fashioned kind" that Chicago
enjoys.

The four days preceding Christmas
set new records for Erne & Klingel and
Mr. Erne states that before next Christ-
mas they hope to have larger quarters.

P. L. McKee, of the John C. Mo-
ninger Co., has recovered from an ill-
ness with fever.

Additional -space will soon be given
to the plant department by Poehlmann
Bros. Co., and C. G. Anderson, manager
of the plant end, will make a trip
through the east, where he intends to
pick up new varieties from eastern
concerns. The new department has
more than been a success and the num-

The Southwestern Market.

The market last week was in splen-
did condition. There was plenty of
stock coming in daily and it sold well
at reasonable prices. The weather was
fine all through the week and from all
accounts there is going to be plenty
of stock in this market for the Christ-
mas demand. [This letter was written
December 22.] Prices are going to be
high according to the advance price
lists of the local wholesalers, and espe-
cially so on red stock, as this has the
greatest demand and will not be any
too plentiful in any variety. Extra
fancy red carnations are quoted at
$10 per hundred, while pink and white
will not go over $8 per hundred. The
lower grades will be quite plentiful,
at least enough to go around, and espe-
cially so in white and Enchantress. In
roses we are looking for a large cut
of the Killarney variety, also in Brides
and Maids and Marylands, but Beau-
ties and Eichmonds will be scarce and
high in price. Eichmonds are quoted
as high as $25, for extra specials, and
Killarney at from $6 to $15 per hun-
dred. A fine cut of poinsettias is seen
at the markets. Violets will go to $2
per hundred and the supply and demand
should be good, as the weather has
been just right for them all week.
The stock on which the prices will not
advance will be lilies, valley, Paper
Whites, Eomans and stevia. In thit
stock a large cut is expected. Sweet
peas are coming in fine and are in

work fell to George Waldbart and Os-

Frank Weber, of the H. J. Weber &
Sons Nursery Co., returned home during
the week from a visit to Kansas City
and St. Joseph, Mo. In the former
city he attended the meeting of the
Western Association of Nurserymen
and was elected president.

The Ellison Floral Co. has been quite
busy of late, with weddings, dinners
and receptions. The advance orders
for Christmas are many and there are
prospects of a rushing business this
week.

C. Young & Sons Co. is making an
elegant display of well-grown blooming

plants for Christmas sales, which are
a great attraction.

The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral
Co. had a big demand for Christmas
greens and supplies all last week. This
concern's cut flower department also
had a large demand.

The Riessen Floral Co., Grimm &
Gorly and Alex. Siegel say that they
have a great many advance orders
booked for Christmas delivery and are
looking forward to the best Christmas
business they ever had.

E. W. Guy and Henry Emunds, of
Belleville, spent a day here this week,
buying their Christmas supplies. Both
say they expect a big holiday trade
in plants and cut flowers. Mr. Emunds
is still cutting good mum blooms.

The Windier Wholesale Floral Co.
reports a busy week in cut stock and
supplies. This is the first Christmas
for this concern and it looks to be a
busy one.

G. H. Angermueller reports large
shipping orders for Christmas supplies
in the southwest.

The florists along Grand avenue are
making great efforts at window dis-
plays. Waldbart; Ayers, Windier, Berg-
stermann and Beyer especially have
fine displays of blooming stock for
Christmas.

The Eetail Florists' Association held
its regular monthly meeting at the

NEW YORK.

New York had one of the worst
storms of the year on thfl eve of the
holiday. December 24 there was six
inches of snow on the level, street
traffic was impeded and the flower
business practically demoralized. There
was plenty of everything, but ship-
ments were delayed and prices had no
stability.

The Market.

It was ideal weather for Christmas,
clear and crisp. The end of last week
found the retail stores all ready for the
anticipated rush of Monday and Tues-
day. More perfect preparation I have
never seen. Before Sunday night ar-
rived every store and branch store was
filled to overflowing. The same tend-
ency to handsome combination baskets
and boxes was in evidence as in other
years; blooming plants in perfect con-
dition, beribboned and mossed and
jardiniered, awaited selection.

The cut flower market had not been
stirred, up to Saturday night, by any
unusual demand. Prices held steady
all the week, because of short supply,
and the general range of values was
not expected to advance unduly even
for the Christmas trade, unless it be
on red roses, and carnations. The top
for American Beauty last week was
50 cents. A few of the novelties, in-
cluding Shawyer, Eussell, Milady and
Sunburst, command fancy figures, and
Eichmond is not far behind. In fact,
Beauties were sharing the honors of
first place, December 21, with some of
the specialties. There are not enough
of any of the novelties for the holiday
season. Of the older varieties, includ-
ing Killarney, there is no shortage. The
top grades of these dragged at times
during the last week, the lower grades

short and inferior stock sold as low as
2 cents. Oncidiums still are used ef-
fectively in the retail windows. Plenty
of cattleyas are in the market. Some
fine gardenias, long-stemmed and with
immense bloom, sold at $5 and $6 per

ply is light, especially of the higher
grades. Lilies held at 8 to 10 cents

last week. There is no surplus of these
or of callas, the latter reaching $2 a
dozen December 21. Violets have been
scarce for the first time in many moons.
Those up-state growers are shipping
west and to local florists direct and last
week 75 cents to $1 was already the
local price. Poinsettias are everywhere
and the medium grades are especially
abundant. Some grand stock, long-
stemmed and with immense flowers,
has sold at $4 and $5 a dozen and was
worth it. A large stock of poinsettias
in pans was offered by the plantsmen
and these were on sale in nearly every
wholesale window. Of stevia, wallflow-
ers, hyacinths, narcissi, mignonette,
sweet peas and daisies there is the
usual abundance. A moderate supply
of lilac is arriving and a few mums-
were available up to Christmas.

The green goods men have had a
phenomenal season. Every house mak-
ing a specialty of this line has been
working day and night, with largely
augmented forces, and under a con-,
stant strain to catch up with orders.
Holly, which had been selling all the
week at $2 to $4 per case, jumped to
$5 and $6 December 21. The Christmas
tree department feel various restraints,
but the price was kept up to $75 per

welcome the cessation of these annual
forest depletions.

Chairman Polykranas announces the

nice lot of yellow and white Chadwick
and Jeanne Nonin mums for Christmas.

Business has been heavy with all the
seed stores, especially in the holiday
specialties. Catalogue distribution is
now in full swing. A great spring sea-
son is anticipated.

The auction season of the MacNiflf Co.
closed December 20, after several days
of holly sales, at which many hundreds
of cases were disposed of. The com-
pany will move to its new building
early in January.

Senator Lenker, of Freeport, had the
"Merry" cut out of his Christmas last
week by a fire which did considerable
damage. Unfortunately, the item of
insurance had been overlooked.

The publicity committee skipped the
Christmas show card inspiration, in-
tending to have an elaborate effort pre-
pared for Easter. I. S. Hendrickson,
the chairman, has been ill for two

weeks with bronchial trouble, but is at
his desk again.

in the New York market, Wm. Eccles,
Northport, Salmon Beauty and En-
chantress Supreme are eagerly called
for.

was depleted.

James Coyle says his business has

that the side issue of plants and green
goods paid well.

the holidays has exceeded their esti-
mates.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Bising Eastern Market.

The dull week preceding the holiday
leaves the market in unusually good
shape. There has been enough business
to carry off the rather moderate sup-
ply at fair, not fancy, figures. The
striking feature of the week has been
the continued scarcity of carnations
and the strong supply of the Killarney
roses. These two facts are mentioned
together because of their bearing, one
on the other. Good judges assert that
the heavy supply of the Irish rose in
the shorter grades will do much to make
up for the shortcomings of the divine
flower. It is an interesting situation
because the asking price of carnations
for Christmas is no greater than it was
last year, despite the shortage. This
is explained in two ways: First, that
Killarney can often be used in place
of carnations; second, there is a limit
beyond which it is dangerous to push
the price.

The general tone of the market is
healthy, in direct contrast to last year
at this time. Beauties and Bichmond
are high in price. So, also, are the
novelty roses. The Killarney and My
Maryland, on the other hand, are de-
cidedly reasonable and in them there
is heavy trading. Violets are in poor
supply, as always before Christmas.
Paper Whites and stevia are the refuge

of the low priced orders. Cut poin-
settias have been neglected, presum-
ably for their potted sisters.

The demand for Christmas greens
has been large. The wholesalers aim
to get this class of stock out of the
way by the close of the shortest day
of the year. Their effort has been suc-
cessful. Holly, boxwood, lycopodium
and laurel wreathing have been shipped
in large quantities, mistletoe in smaller
lots. The quality generally has been
good. Christmas trees are in rather
limited supply.

An Incident Abroad.

David Fuerstenberg, president of the
Florex Gardens, went out of his way,
while in Germany, to visit a florists'
establishment of note. Upon his arrival
there he was confronted by several
signs forbidding admission to visitors
under any pretext whatsoever. Un-

daunted, Mr. Fuerstenberg sent in his
card. After a long delay he was
ushered in with ceremony and shown
all over the place. His host then asked
him whether he was surprised at being
admitted in spite of the signs outside.
On being answered in the affirmative,
the German florist explained that he
had an American foreman who was
conducting his place on the American
plan, which he did not wish his neigh-
bors to copy. When the card came in,
the manager telephoned the name to the
foreman and the answer came back in-
stantly: "That's the fellow with the
big house at North Wales; let him in."
So Mr, Fuerstenberg was shown every
courtesy and consulted on the American
style of greenhouse that the German
grower planned to erect.

ments on the increased demand for flo-
rists' flower seeds.

The windows of the retail shops show
a great variety of ideas in floral ar-
rangement.

Robert A, Craig comments on the
splendid express service given the
plantsmen.

Charles Krueger has a handsome dis-

play of plants from his Narberth green-
houses at his Reading Terminal stand.
B. Eschner said they cleaned up on
everything in red and anything that
looked like red, adding that this sea-
son has been the most remarkable that
the House of Rice has ever experienced,
both in handling red goods and staple
stocks. Phil.

The Henry F. Michell Co. has sent
out a circular letter notifying its cus-
tomers that the demand for plants of
the new geranium, Helen Michell, has
proved so large that its dissemination
has been postponed from the current
season to January, 1914. The prize for
the variety offered through the Na-
tional Flower Show has been with-
drawn, but, it is stated, will be renewed
for an exhibition in 1914.

NEW ORLEANS.

The Market.

Growers as well as storekeepers are
busy preparing everything salable for
the approaching Christmas rush. An
immense stock of seasonable plants of
all kinds, some of them grown here,
others from out-of-town nurseries, is
on hand, spick and span, ready to be
disposed of. The demand for planted

baskets, hampers and ferneries is in-
creasing every year, and the retailers
are showing an elegant display of them.
As in former years, the bulk of the cut
flowers handled over the holidays will
be shipped from Chicago, because only
limited quantities of roses, orchids and
valley are grown here. Owing to the
abominable, rainy weather, having had
only a few sunny days during the last
two weeks, the crop of narcissi and
hyacinths fell short. Two carloads of
Christmas trees arrived here from Mich-
igan, consigned to two local florists, and
were distributed among the different
retailers. Up to this writing the sale
for them has been fair. As a rule the
purchasing of Christmas gifts from the
florists is left for the last two days and,
dry weather prevailing, all of the re-
tailers look forward to doing the same
splendid business as heretofore.

Various Notes.

Abele Bros, have their entire large
place filled with well grown plants for
the Christmas and shipping trade.

fails to get his share of the trade.

Henry Cook reports a satisfactory
business at his new store. His stock is
always well grown.

C. 'W. Eichling made big preparations
for the holidays and stated that the
demand for high grade cut flowers is
getting larger every year.

The Frank Floral Co. is ready to do
a big business for Christmas.

The Metairie Ridge Nursery Co. has
its store richly decorated, a life-size
reindeer harnessed to a sled loaded with
flowers being the main attraction. A
large stock of all kinds of seasonable
baskets, plants, etc., fills the spacious
store.

J. A. Newsham has an exceptionally
fine lot of azaleas, orchids, etc., in
bloom, besides splendid adiantums and
other foliage plants. The sympathy of
all the local florists is with him and his
family on account of the recent death
of his little daughter.

Frank Eieth, Jr., keeps his store
always attractive. With a select stock
on hand, he hopes to do this season as
well as formerly.

U. J. Virgin, as always at Christmas,
shows a big display of artistically made
up hampers, foliage and flowering
plants. He is well satisfied with his
share of the flower business done here.

Fred. Ziegler, Jr., has a good trade
established and keeps the stock on hand

The Market.

For the last week flowers have been
arriving rather sparingly at the whole-
sale markets and the supply has liardly
been equal to the demand. They are
arriving more freely today, December
23, but the demand is excellent, and
unless an avalanche of pickled flowers
materialize on Christmas eve it looks
at this time like a good, old-fashioned
clean-up. Some of the leading retail-
ers are devoting most of their energies
to pot plants, in which they are doing
a heavy trade, and are buying no more
cut flowers at prevailing prices than are
absolutely necessary.

Roses are arriving in good numbers,

a fair supply. Freesias are more abun-
dant than is usual at this season; so,
also, are Paper Whites, Romans and
Trumpet Majors. In cattleyas the price
is $4 per dozen for C. Percivaliana and
$6 to $9 for Trianse and late labiata.
Gardenias bring splendid prices. Aspar-
agus, adiantum and smilax are all in
heavy demand. Greenery, such as lau-
rel, boxwood, holly, ground pine, etc.,
is scarce and bringing much higher
prices than usual. Some of the holly is
well berried, but there is, as usual,
much poor material.

Christmas is each year becoming more
of a plant holiday,* and the trade in
plants almost overshadows the business
done in cut flowers. The high prices
of the latter turn many buyers of mod-
erate means to plants, for which a
small outlay gives better returns. The
leading sellers in plants are azaleas,
Otaheite oranges, ardisias, Cincinnati
begonias, cyclamens. Primula obconica
and Sinensis, ericas, poinsettias and
ferns. Poinsettias are in great demand
and are unusually well grown.

their culture is well understood. Mr.
Dolansky has a splendid cut of gar-
denias, some with 18-inch to 24-inch
stems, for the holidays.

Carbone, at his charmingly arranged
Boylston street store, is this season do-
ing an immense plant trade. His pink
poinsettias are having quite a run. Their
color is specially good under artificial
light. A great business is done here in
Italian and other ware, and all hands
are kept hustling.

Joseph Margolis, of H. M. Bobinson

in all their departments.

Littlefield & Wyman, of North Ab-

Amy Lowell, of Brookiine.

Thos. F. Galvin, Inc., has leased
from Klein & Johnson, property at 561
Fifth avenue, New York, for twenty
years from October 1, 1913, with two
renewal privileges, each for twenty-
one years. Upon the lot the lessees will
erect a six-story building. The lease
shows an annual net rental of $37,500.

The first through freight electrics
between Boston and Springfield were
run December 23. There are thirty-
five stations on the road and four cars
each way daily. This service will be
a great boon to florists in Wellesley,
Natick, Framingham, Shrewsbury and
other flower-growing centers. The rates
are twenty-five per cent lower than
those of the express company and the
first train arrives in Boston at 6 a. m.

Penn's, on Bromfield street, is doing
an immense plant trade. Poinsettias
and cyclamens are the best sellers with
them, followed by Cincinnati begonias,
azaleas and berried plants.

W. D. Howard, of Milford, grows
25,000 carnations, all being sold by Geo.
H. Noyes. He has a salmon sport from
Winsor which is a great seller and will
plant 10,000 of it next season, in a
large new house, and introduce it. All
of Mr. Howard's carnations were in
fine crop for Christmas, Mrs. Ward,
Winsor, Pink Delight, White Wonder
and Beacon being in grand condition.
A plan of growing carnations outdoors
in benches built in sections about eight
feet long and rolling them indoors
has paid well, the plants showing an
astonishing advantage over lifted ones.

Zinn 's, on Park street, has lilacs and
cypripediums of extra fine quality, and
the store looks attractive.

Sidney Hoffman is doing a heavy
Christmas trade at his big Massachu-
setts avenue store. He had a large
decoration at the Hotel Somerset De-
cember 17.

The William E. Doyle Co., on Boyl-

the dissemination of knowledge, which
has been brought about by the com-
bination of thought and study which is
bound to arise when the best men of
our business meet at the annual con-
ventions of the S. A. F.

The national society has also been
the means of bringing the individual
members and sections of the country
into closer and more friendly relation-
ship.

The societies, both the national and
the local, have also, to my mind, been
partially responsible for the success of
the trade papers of today, for with the
increased knowledge, and the desire for
greater knowledge, it became necessary
to have some medium by which it couM
be quickly and constantly disseminated,
and the increased success of the trade
papers was the natural result.

Many other benefits resulting from
the existence of the national society
could be enumerated, but I fear I shall
weary you.

The Ijocal Societies.

Our state society has done and can
do locally what the national society has
been doing nationally.

When I first connected myself with
the florists' business I found many in-
stances where one florist, having a sur-
plus of something, would rather let it
go to waste than let his near-by com-
petitor have it, always hoping that his
competitor's customer would come to
him and he thereby be the gainer. The
idea of letting a competitor have the
last of any stock was not to be thought
of. This has all been changed, and to
my mind the local society deserves the
credit. This society has been the means
of bringing together the best men in
our business, and by closer association
has shown each that the competitor is
also a man, just as refined as himself,
and that he is just as willing to live
and let live.

Acquaintance of Competitors.

Why, years ago, one man would not
want his competitor to find out where
he was delivering stock, being afraid
that he would try to steal his customer!
The idea of letting a competitor de-
liver anything for you was not to be
thought of, for he might do something
to the plant or design, so as to make it
unsatisfactory to the customer, and in
that way gain a customer.

But, I am happy to say, the mingling
together at these florists' meetings, the
friendly discussion of ideas and the

any stock that he may have on hand
and has no orders for. We readUy trust
each other, not only with the delivering
of orders, but in cases of necessity will
call on a competitor to fill orders for
us. I know, further, that it has even
reached the point where a few even go
so far as to notify their competitors
when they are going to make wagon
deliveries to some distant or out-of-the-
way place, offering to take any other
florist's work with them.

Our local society also has aided in
promoting sociability among the mem-
bers. It has taught its members that
a difference of opinion does not mean
that he who differs with us is wrong;
rather that he has looked at the same
question from a different viewpoint and
experience. This coming together of
many different minds has been the
means of greatly extending our busi-
ness, and for this condition I give the
credit to the S. A. F. and our state
society.

Everybody Lend a Hand.

Does it not, therefore, behoove us to
bring every man or woman who has
any connection with our business, be it
as grower, store man, salesman or sales-
lady, bookkeeper or stenographer, into
our state society? The uniting of these
many different interests necessary to
the development of our business, and
discussion by people well versed in the
different branches, is sure to help every
member of our craft.

While many other points could be
brought out and enlarged upon, I trust
that these few suggestions and thoughts
will cause you all to think about the
possibilities of the S. A. F. and our
own state society and will cause those
of you who are not members of the
S. A. F. to make application through
your state vice-president, and that you
will urge those with whom you come
into touch and who are eligible to mem-
bership in our state society to join us
and in that manner help the good thing
along.

The Market.

Everyone seems to be in a cheerful
frame of mind and is looking forward
to an unusually merry Christmas. There
are booths on both sides of the streets
in all the pripcipal parts of the city
and a whole army of people are inhabit-
ing them, selling fireworks, trinkets and
Christmas decorations. From the amount
of holly that has arrived during the
last few days, one would be led to
think there is no more left in the
woods. Mistletoe is conspicuous by its
almost entire absence. The quality of
the decorative greens is better this year
than usual, but a great deal of it will
remain unsold when the holidays are
over.

One not accustomed to this part of
the country does not realize what
Christmas means in the south. It is
the one festival occasion of the year
and lasts for a week at least. From
the humblest negro cabin to the grand-
est resilience in the west end, everyone
must have decorations. The cemeteries
are decorated at this time of year in
a way that is almost wholly unknown
in the north and west. The florists
get most of this cemetery work and
they are working night and day getting
ready for deliveries. Loads of red
cedar trees come down every pike these
days and are offered on the streets
for T'hristmas trees. The red cedar is
the Christmas tree here and a pretty
one it makes, too.

Carnations were never in as good
supply as they are at present and the
quality is as good as the quantity.
There are a few small chrysanthemums
yet on the market. Violets are the
most plentiful they have been this
season. Valley is selling at $1.50 per
dozen. Sweet peas are not abundant,
but are moving readily. There is a
good supply of giganteum lilies. Or-
chids will be sold in good numbers at

The unusually favorable season is to
blame for this.

Various Notes.

Geny Bros, cut 1,500 carnations one
day last week and almost as many
every other day. They are not whole-
saling any of these. They have some
made-up baskets that are quite at-
tractive and should be good sellers. I
was especially impressed with the qual-
ity of their Ward roses. Earlier in the
season these were not coming so well,
but now they are hard. to beat for a
yellow. They sell readily, as the nov-
elty has not worn off in the least.

The Joy Floral Co. will have the
largest supply of roses this week they
have ever cut in the same length of
time. Their Beauties and a double pink
Killarney that originated with them are
both of the first water. This Killarney
does not fade in unfavorable weather
and averages a grade longer in stem
than the ordinary stock. The bud is
much longer, with about a dozen more
petals. Their window is a blaze of
Christmas red, mostly in ruscus, pre-
served cycas fronds and immortelles.
They were as busy as a hive of bees
when I called on them the other day.

A call at the greenhouses of the

Mount Olivet Cemetery Co. found the

firm doing a brisk business in wreaths

and other decorations for the graves.

I Their houses are looking well, though

they have not enough room for their
trade.

The new store of Mclntyre Bros, is
filled to overflowing for the holiday
trade and they are getting their share
of it, too. Their window is one of the
prettiest I have seen for a long time.

Haury & Sons are still doing busi-
ness at thei' new stand. Their Sunburst
roses are fine. They are doing a bet-
ter business right along. They need
more store space to accommodate their
growing business. P. B.

CINCINNATI.

The Gateway to the South.

Last week showed a supply of
flowers that was only medium in size
and a supply of greens that was almost
too large. The southern ferneries have
been rushing plumosus and Sprengeri
into the market at a merry rate; in
fact, they have been shipping it in so
fast that the market could hardly ab-
sorb it. In many cases the wholesalers
had to direct their consignors to "let
down" somewhat until further orders.

The way the cut stock has come into
the market for the last few days shows
that nearly all growers are trying to
"hunch" a little on the retailers, so
that when the big day comes they will
be well fortified with at least a two
days' cut in one. This holding back is
all right if the flowers are still good
and solid, but if, on the other hand,
they come in soft, it has defeated its
purpose for them. They can hardly be
used by the conscientious retailer, who
has the welfare of his trade at heart.

All that can be said of the Christmas
business at this writing is that all
indications point to a banner business.
The supply of every seasonable flower
will undoubtedly be better and larger
than was hoped for a fortnight ago.

The season has been a good one for
decorative material and accessories.

The holly was excellent and sold well.
Wild smilax was used in larger quanti-
ties than ever before. Boxwood ran
short and now the only available sup-
ply is the stock that arrives by express.
This last mode of transportation has
necessitated a rise in the price. The
immortelle supply in town had a big
crimp put into it by the last fortnight 's
demand.

Various Notes.

J. A. Peterson & Sons have for the
last two weeks been using a 5-ton truck
as well as their large platform wagon
to rush their orders to the depots. The
stock of Glory of Cincinnati, cyclamens
and poinsettias was good and "merited
the demand it received. Mr. Peterson
and his sons have excellent specimens
of their new begonia, Melior, which
they will disseminate shortly. Judging
from the appearance of Melior by the
side of Cincinnati, it is as far ahead
of the latter as the latter was ahead of
the old Gloire de Lorraine.

C. E, Critchell is now selling from
his fifth car of southern smilax for the
holiday business and at present he is
fearful of this running short.

The Market.

Taking all things into consideration,
a day or two before Christmas, it
would seem as though the holiday
business of 1912 would aggregate as
much as previous years and possibly a
little more, regardless of the far-reach-
ing spirit of unrest among the em-
ployees of the government. There has
been a long stretch of dullness and
many complaints have been heard, yet
there is, every reason to believe that
as a whole the year was a satisfac-
tory one. Merchants in other lines, if
this may give any satisfaction, have
also been complaining, but the end of
the pre-Christmas rush found them
smiling and happy over the results, and
so with the florists. It may be that
the spirit of Christmas had entered into
the veins of all. The temperature has
been around 60 degrees, making the
weather ideal for the wearing of
flowers.

market for the holidays, although in
some lines there was not enough to
meet all demands. Carnations, for in-
stance, did not come in in quantities
that would allow of all orders being
filled. One grower put about 3,000 long-
stemmed Beauties into the market.

From the number of potted plants
sold it would look as though cyclamens
and begonias will soon do to the
azaleas what the sweet peas did to the
bulbous stock and it is only a question
of time when the former will have al-
most driven the azalea from the local
market.

Various Notes.

During the Christmas rush several of
the firms operated additional stores.
J. H. Small & Sons put in a stock of
plants, etc., at their old location at
Fourteenth and G streets, N, W. All
stores put on extra help and this was
badly needed, for at times the rush was
great. The Center Market presented
an attractive appearance, the stalls
having been turned into double-deckers
for the display of holly wreaths and
other reminders of Christmas, and the
different florists there made good
showinjTs.

AXXKICAK SEED THADE AS800IATI0K.
President, Charles N. Page, Des Moines, la.;
Mcretary-Treasnrer, C. B. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

Already it develops that mixed gladi-
olus bulbs, and some of the named varie-
ties, are scarce. America appears to be
more plentiful than last year, but Au-
gusta is short.

Fire destroyed a corn elevator at Min-
neapolis, December 21, belonging to the
Albert Dickinson Co. The loss is esti-
mated in press reports at from $90,000
to $125,000.

A Tennessee correspondent states that
a few cow peas are being moved at about
$1.50 per bushel, but that there are be-
ginning to be rumors of a short supply
and holders are not anxious to sell.

Most of the leading seed catalogues
are going into the mail this week. Some
sections of the south have already had
one or two books and the response is re-
ported to have been better than usual.

C. C. Vale, of New Carlisle, O., is
carrying on a seed business in temporary
quarters in a canning building near
town, but will soon move into town and
he is planning to erect a modern building
for his own use next spring.

The 1913 catalogue of H. G. Hastings
& Co., Atlanta, was the first of the
southern books to reach The Eeview. It
came to hand December 21. The Hastings
catalogue is printed and mailed at St.
Augustine, Fla.

There has turned out to be a light
crop of soy beans in the Tennessee dis-
trict and the growers are holding for
higher prices. Few had been moved prior
to Christmas and the farmers were re-
ported holding for $3 a bushel. The
quality is excellent.

Burpee's Annual for 1913 came to
hand December 21. It is in the usual
form. The prices on the scarce items
are interesting; some of them follow the
wholesale list so closely that, to say the
least, they give no opportunity for a
charge of taking undue advantage of con-
ditions.

E. E. Stewart, Eives Junction, Mich.,
has purchased a tract of 220 acres of
rich farming land near Brooklyn, Mich.,
where he will continue his business of
growing gladioli for the wholesale
trade. He will build a large concrete
storage house for the proper handling
of the bulbs. His postoffice address
after March 15 will be Brooklyn, Mich.

Frank G. Cuthbertson, in a letter
published by one of the British trade
papers, denies the statement of an Eng-
lish grower who said that "sweet pea
growers in California had not fully ap-
preciated the importance of roguing the
crops so as to get them true to type."
Mr. Cuthbertson says that the Spencers

Remarks: All the foregoing varieties are
strictlv winter-bloomer. The foliage is more
rounde<L but not so strong as by the late-flowertng
Spencers, the height six to ten feet under glass,
three to five feet when grown outdoors. The
flowers are just the same as the late flowering
Spencers, with extra large, wavy flowers and
exposed or open keel, bearing over fifty per cent
four flowers to each stem and if raised under
extra ideal condition many will bear flve and six
flowers. If sowed August 15 they will begin to
bloom In sixtv-flve days. If sowed In October
they will begin to bloom In ninety to 100 days,
according to the weather. After they are about
four feet high, with each foliage sprung one
stem with extra strong and large flowers. They
are just so productive and early as the common
old winter sweet pea. — Ant. C. Zvolanek, orig-

John Young, Sec'y.

"The Best is the Cheapest"

is a saying that most grow-
ers recognize as the truth
regarding Hly bulbs. It is
generally understood to
mean that the best cost more
than the lower grades, but
in speaking of Horseshoe
Brand Bulbs it is a mistaken
idea, for they cost no more
than most other brands.
This is because of the large
volume of business done,
which enables us to work on
a smaller margin of profit
than most firms can afford.
The bulbs come from the
most direct source possible,
where they are produced by
the best native Japanese
growers of lily bulbs in the
world. Besides the fact
that the price is not higher,
fall deliveries of advance or-
ders are made from twelve
different cities in the United
States and Canada. This
means a saving in freight of
from $2.00 to $10.00 per 1000
bulbs — have you ever con-
sidered the freight you pay?
Taking all things into con-
sideration, there are a good
many reasons why florists
should buy Horseshoe Brand
Lily Bulbs, and there are no
reasons, except sentimental
reasons, why they should
not. You can't buy better
bulbs, and you might get
worse. The same price to
everyone — no favorites.
Send us your order now.

Not how chMip, but how good.

NOTICE:— Horseshoe Brand Lily
Bulbs are sold only by Ralph M.
Ward & Co. Any other firms offer-
ing this brand do so fraudulently
and dishonestly. Never buy from
a dishonest man.

VUB.B SEED.

The Secretary of Agriculture takes
to his department most of the credit
for the improvement which is being
made in the average quality of the
seeds offered for planting. In his an-
nual report, just issued, he said:

"Gi'eat progress has been made in
the matter of securing good seed for
the farmer. The early laboratory work
inaugurated has been gradually ex-
tended until the present time, and the
laboratory located in Washington, to-
gether with the five branch laborato-
ries maintained in connection with the
state agricultural colleges and experi-
ment stations, has tested more than
120,000 samples of seeds for purity or
germination or both.

"This work, continued from year to
year, has resulted in a much better

NIAGARA

One off the wonders off the GLADIOLUS world.

In type the variety resembles "America," but the flowers appear to be
somewhat larger, measuring 41^ inches across. In color the flowers are
a delightful cream shade with the two lower inside petals or segments
blending to canary yellow. The flower spike is very erect and stout
and is wrapped with broad, dark green foliage. The variety is evidently
destined to lead in the cream colored varieties.

Awards. 1911— Certificates of Merit from Mass. Hort. Society,

The Florists' Review

December 26, 1912.

understanding of the nature and
value of pure seeds and has added
much to the upbuilding of agriculture.
As a result of the infornaation con-
tained in publications on adulterated
seeds the sale of adulterated alfalfa
and clover seed has practically ceased,
and the quantity of other adulterated
forage-plant seed on the market is now
small in comparison with what it was
when these publications were under-
taken.

"Among the results to which the
work of this laboratory and those of
the state experiment stations have con-
tributed is an awakened interest in
better seeds on the part of farmers.
This is evidenced by the steady in-
crease in the proportion of high-grade
seeds on the market each year. Seeds-
men are now taking an active interest
in seed testing. They are themselves
learning to test seeds, and many firms
have fitted up seed-testing laboratories
of their own.

''The seed-importation act passed at
the last session of Congress will pre-
vent the few unscrupulous seed dealers
from bringing into the United States
low-grade forage-plant seeds which do
not find a sale in foreign countries, but
which have previously been imported
into the United States in considerable
quantities.

"During the last year the seed-test-
ing laboratories have been continued.
The work has been carried on along
lines similar to that of previous years.
The investigational work has been di-
vided between studies on physiology
of germination and the critical exam-
ination of closely related seeds with a
view to their easy recognition. Forage-
plant seeds, including redtop and hairy
vetch, have been examined for the
presence of adulterants. Samples of
seeds submitted for the purpose of
analysis have been examined and re-
ports on their quality have been made
to the persons sending the samples.
Branch laboratories have been opened
in cooperation with the agricultural
experiment stations in California and
Louisiana, and those in Oregon, Mis-
souri and Indiana have been con-
tinued."

i Pacific Coast Departmentj

Lob Angeles, Cal. — The Hayward
Floral Co., 216 West Sixth street, has
been running some wonderfully eflfect-
ive advertisements in the local dailies.
They are what is known as designed
advertisements, consisting of a drawing
instead of type, and have occupied
about nine inches across three columns.
The effect on the business has been
apparent.

THE PANAMA-PACIFIC ROSE.

Florists throughout the world are to
be asked to create a new rose to be
named in honor of the Panama-Pacific
International Exposition. Director of
Exhibits Asher Carter Baker has au-
thorized George C. Roeding, chief of
the department of horticulture, to make
the announcement that the exposition
will offer a prize of $1,000 for the crea-
tion of a new rose for this purpose.

Mr. Roeding, in discussing the an-
nouncement, said: "This ought to be
one of the great features of our horti-
cultural display. It is possible, with
our favorable climatic conditions, to
plant roses far in advance of the open-
ing of the exposition. Nothing would
add so much to the attractiveness of
our outdoor display during the height
of the exposition as a large plot of
roses loaded with bloom."

VALIiEJO, CAL.

D. Gruettner & Son have completed
another greenhouse, 30x150, and added
extensively to their nursery depart-
ment. Their downtown retail store is
now in larger and more commodious
quarters at 331 Georgia street.

J. Markie, of San Francisco, has
opened a retail establishment here.

Several large growers are contemplat-
ing coming here. The shipping facili-
ties— three lines of steamers and rail-
roads— are unexcelled. San Francisco,
the flower market center, is only
twenty-eight miles distant by boat.
One hour and thirty minutes in transit!
This section has long been overlooked,
but is coming to the fore now.

R. G.

LOS ANQELES, CAL.

The Market.

Plenty of business and only a limited
stock appears to be the forecast for
Christmas. This refers quite as much
to outdoor stock as indoor and espe-
cially to carnations. The cold nights
have checked their development and
the orders already taken will not be
more than half filled. Indoor roses are
good, better than have ever been seen
in local stock. It is the lack of good
outdoor flowers that will be most felt.
The retail stores are all well filled with
Christmas plants, berried stock and cut
flowers and present a lively appearance.
There is considerable improvement in
baskets this year, several retailers hav-
ing done remarkably well along this
line. This is a healthy sign and looks
like waking up to the fact that the
public has to be considered. Berried
plants are not too plentiful, a few skim-

mias, English hollies and a small quan-
tity of ardisias being about all that
are shown. P'oinsettias are about the
largest offering in potted plants. They
are extra dwarf, well flowered and
fresh. Azaleas are better than they at
first promised to be, but still not up to
previous years, and there is absolutely
no bulbous stock to be had in plants.
Why growers continually overlook the
many pretty little plants that could
be grown for holiday business is cer-
tainly a hard question to answer. Bulbs
are cheap enough, the culture is easy
and the results absolutely certain, yet
every holiday shows more plainly the
need of such stock.

Northern holly appeared in moderate
quantity and of extra good quality.
Several kinds of evergreen oak have
also been pressed into service and
answer finely for making up into

wreaths. Such stock, mostly gathered
from the northern woods, is infinitely
better than either long distance holly
or local stock, which, of course, is not
holly at all, but quite a different shrub.
Christmas trees appeared by thousands
in a night and, as almost every corner
grocery is handling them, the profit will
probably not be large.

Various Notes.

Hubert Morton, brother of C. Mor-
ton, of the Los Angeles Flower Mar-
ket, opened a retail store at Long
Beach, December 17, under the name
of Morton's Flower Shop. Mr. Morton
made many friends here during the
time he was running the Meserve
ranch at Signal Hill and all who know
him predict a most successful outcome.

I think there were never better roses
shown in Los Angeles than those now

with which he furnished his south win-
dow, are splendid specimens. Deco-
rations keep the staff busy.

The Los Angeles Flower Market has
already booked orders for nearly a mil-
lion asparagus seeds for the coming
season's delivery. As much of this
seed is going to customers who bought
seed here last year, it looks as though
California's seeds were of some value,
in spite of the roasting interested east-
ern men give them. That there have
been many frauds perpetrated by un-
principled dealers cannot be denied, but
when seed is purchased from firms of
repute there is no risk, for they have
a reputation to keep up that is worth
more than the few dollars the seed
would bring. Christmas orders are
heavy here, especially in holly, and
those for New Year's are already
mounting up.

In connection with the movement for
the teaching of botany and kindred
subjects in the city schools, about fifty
school teachers recently visited the
growing establishments of Howard &
Smith and Dieterich & Turner, at
Montebello. A pleasant and most in-
structive tour was reported and all
expressed themselves as delighted with
the trip and the many things they saw.

A project is on foot at Redondo
Beach to purchase the carnation gar-
dens for a public park and a bond issue
of $30,000 has, it is believed, been
sanctioned for the purpose. The gar-
dens are probably the oldest commercial
establishment near Los Angeles and to
turn them to this purpose will be a
good thing for this rising and beautiful
beach town.

Murdoch will have ten years' work in

The Christmas decorations at the
store of the Germain Seed & Plant Co.
were much admired and reflect great
credit on Mr. Roberts and his capable
corps of assistants. Large palms and
an immense amount of holly and
wreathing were used. Mr. Roberts also
received many compliments on his
tasteful decorations at the Hoffman
Cafe, December 14, when about forty
members of the Germain Improvement
Association met for their annual dinner.
The occasion also marked the farewell
attendance of J. Rennison, one of the
firm's most energetic and capable out-
door representatives, who left next day

SEATTLE, WASH.

The Market.

The closeness of Christmas seems to
have stimulated business in the flower
trade; everyone is full of work and
sales are brisk. Stock is fairly abun-
dant, but is being kept well cleaned up.
Roses are in good shape and are selling
briskly, the flowers and foliage show-
ing a marked improvement over recent
offerings^ Carnations are abundant,
but the demand leaves no surplus and
appearances point to a shortage in all
varieties for Christmas. Poinsettias
are more in evidence than in former
years, the quality in most cases being
excellent, and, while there has not been
much sale for them so far, they lend a
tone of brightness to the windows that
no other flower produces. Baskets of
artificial flowers, ruscus, statice, etc.,
are liberally offered. Chrysanthemums
are scarce and bring high prices.

The sale for holly, mistletoe and
other Christmas greens is good. Large
supplies of fine cyclamens, primulas and
other pot plants are in readiness for
the usual Christmas demand.

Various Notes.

There was a good attendance at the
meeting of the Florists ' Club December

Kelations Between Growers and Eetail-

The club is doing good work and de-
serves more support from retailers and
growers than it has hitherto received.

Andrew Matthiesen has a fine crop
of carnations at his place at Brighton.
One house of Beacon is in heavy crop,
just right for Christmas. He has re-
cently installed a hauling machine to
convey the slab wood used as fuel up
from the lake. It works satisfactorily
and is much cheaper than teaming.

The Butler Florists opened a new
store on Third avenue to take care of
their Christmas trade this week.

A new location for a flower store
has been found in the First avenue
entrance to the Hofbrau Cafe. It is
in charge of J. Stiles.

The controversy about the peddling
of violets on the streets has been taken
up by the local dailies, but as the city
ordinance positively forbids anything
of the sort, they are merely plowing
the sands of the seashore. The pro-
prietor of one of the papers was es-
pecially prominent in supporting one
of the peddlers and his rancor in bfing
thwarted has evidently raised his ire
against the Florists' Club.

the Hollywood Gardens at the Second
avenue store. The Christmas cut of
carnations at the Hollywood plant will
be from 8,000 to 10,000 blooms.

D. R, Peterson, late of Portland, Ore.,
is now assisting Mrs. L. W. McCoy at
her Third avenue store. Mrs. McCoy
will use an extra store for Christmas
trade, on the corner of Third and Madi-
son streets.

Julius Sohnapp, lately with the Holly-
wood Gardens, has accepted a position
in the store of the Tonseth Floral Co..

Miss WagiKf, lately of the Crescent
Flower Store, is assisting at the Wood-
lawn Flower Shop for the Christmas
trade. T. W.

PORTLAND, ORE.

With the Christmas rush just ahead
of us, all florists are taxing their
energies and skill to accomplish in a
few days what would seem several
weeks' work to an outsider. Every-
thing is in readiness and business is
coming in nicely. From early observa-
tion, business will exceed former years
to a large degree. Poinsettias, which
are the best sellers, are plentiful and
of good quality. Begonias are the best
m many years and find favor among
the customers. Cyclamens, primroses,
ericas and Otaheite oranges also go
to make elegant window displays. Roses
are in good crop. Richmonds of un-
usual quality, Brides, Maids, Killarneys,
Hillingdons and Aaron Wards will be
in sufficient quantities to go around.
Carnations will about equal the demand.
The shipping trade calls for heavy
quantities of cut flowers of all vari-
eties. Mums are almost off the mar-
ket; only Maud Dean will be available
and it commands good prices. Violets,
orchids and valley will be scarce. Hol-
ly, mistletoe, wreathing and decorative
greens are plentiful, but command good
prices. Only the berried English and
variegated varieties of holly can be
8ecure<l. Wild holly is almost unknown
in this section. All the leading stores
have rented additional rooms to take
care of the surplus, also as a wrapping
and delivering department. Where
space is limited, it facilitates matters
considerably. Roman hyacinths in pots
as well as cut flowers' are to be had
in limited amounts. Paper Whites and
stevia also are on the market.

The Market.

We are only one week in advance
of Christmas at this writing and every-
thing has assumed a holiday air. The
weather has turned quite warm again
and things are favorable for plenty of
stock of all kinds. From general ap-
pearances we can expect enough to
satisfy everyone. This is due in a great
measure to the delightful weather we
have had for the last month. There
is not an oversupply, however, of roses,
except the shorter stock. Carnations
are good, and cheap as well. Valley,
Romans, narcissi, violets and other
stock have not advanced in price, ex-
cept in a few instances, and these have
been moderate changes. With the pot
stock in sight for Christmas, it seems
that there will be rather a scarcity
of good poinsettias in pans. Several
of our largest growers did not have
good success with them this season.

Cyclamens are everywhere and they are
the best ever seen here. Azaleas are
not quite so full and well shaped as
could be wished. Begonias are good
but not in large supply. Romans and
valley in pots help to make a showing.
Ferns and palms are moving well.
Ericas and begonias are seen in small
lots. Mixed baskets and pans seem
as though they will be as popular as
ever this year. There are plenty of
shipping orders for the country and
this branch of the trade is becoming
one of the most important with a few
of our wholesale dealers.

The peony growers in general report
a record demand for roots during 1912
and look forward to even heavier busi-
ness in 1913.

C. E. Beowne, formerly importer of
horticultural tools at Theodore, Ala., is
now with the Glen St. Mary Nurseries,
of Glen St. Mary, Fla.

The firm of Lord & Lord has been
incorporated at Dover, Del., with a cap-
ital stock of $40,000, to do a general real
estate and nursery business.

Fred W. Koyden is now manager of
the Hoyt Bros. ' nursery, at Scotch Grove,
la., and will live in the residence for-
merly occupied by Ben Hoyt.

M. Leendees & Co., Steil-Tegelen, Hol-
land, are this season distributing a new
crimson hybrid tea rose called Mevrouw
Dora van Tets. A descriptive list printed
in four languages has been sent out.

The Harmony Nurseries have been in-
corporated at Evans City, Pa., with a
capital of $10,000. The incorporators
are B. W. Smith and C. H. Snrith, of
Pittsburgh, and H. L. Blind, of Evans
City.

K. K. Thompson, who has been en-
gaged in orchard extension wotk near
Stevensville, Mont., for the last three
years, has removed to Eoswell, N. M.,
where he will take charge of the develop-
ment of a large orchard tract for Cali-
fornia capitalists.

E. Y. Teas & Son, Centerville, Ind.,
announce that because of the advanced
age and feeble health of E. Y. Teas,
the senior partner, and of his desire to
retire from an active business life, they
have closed out their entire line of
nursery and florists ' stock. F. E. Teas,
the junior partner, will continue in
a similar line, giving especial attention
to growing gladioli for the wholesale
trade.

The Duncan, Hesseltine & Ogg fruit
growing firm, of Peru, Neb., and the
Peru Nursery Co. have been incorporated
under the name of the Duncan-Hessel-
tine Fruit & Nursery Co. The company
will be capitalized at $22,800, divided
into 228 shares of $100 each. It will be
officered as follows : J. R. Duncan, presi-

CO-OPEEATION AMONG GROWERS.

An important step toward coopera-
tion among fruit growers was taken at
the recent meeting of the Iowa Horti-
cultural Society in Des Moinep, in the
organization of the Iowa Fruit Grow-
ers' Association. Its object for the
present is merely the cooperative buy-
ing of orchard supplies. Cooperation in
selling was discussed, but this was left
for future development and will be un-
dertaken only when the demand for it
comes.

The project was proposed incident-
ally at the horticultural meeting by

to take up a position with the Arizona
Seed Co., of Phoenix, Ariz. Mr. Een-
nison has had great success in his work
since coming here and all regret his
leaving. He was the recipient of many
eulogistic speeches and a handsome bill
roll, suitably inscribed. A large floral
piece with the Germain slogan "Ger-
main's Seeds Germinate" formed the
center of the decorations, which were
carried out in English holly, poinsettias
and other Christmas subjects. M. L.
Germain, Mr. Meyberg and Mr. Ford
all worked hard to make the affair a
success and everyone enjoyed himself
to the limit. G. Googans made an
excellent toastmaster and chairman
and, though he had been suffering from
rheumatism for several days previously,
he evidently was able to forget it for a
time.

Eobert Schenk, lately of San Fran-
cisco and previously of Chicago, is now
at Morris Goldenson's. Mr. Goldenson's
Christmas windows look fine and he
has been making quite a display of
orchids of late.

At the Los Angeles Evergreen and
Cut Flower Supply Market some elegant
wreaths made out of the native ilexes,
with berries of the Carolina holly, were
recently displayed. Tony Tassano had
to take an extra store on Broadway for
the rush of orders.

Murata & Co. have added supplies to
their line. Business here has nearly
doubled since last seaeon. A large
amount of stock has been sold for the
Tournament of Roses, at Pasadena, New
Year's day.

ENCHANTRESS SUPREME

THE best Sport of Enchantress up to date, possessing all
the vigor and freedom that distinguish its parent. Color
a light salmon pink— a color that is not only very attractive,
but also one that endures full exposure to the sun without
bleaching. A good all-round Carnation that retains its color

at all seasons. Calyx is longer and narrower than that of
the parent variety, and distinct from the latter. Has shown
no inclination to be a burster. The weak points of Enchant-
ress seem to have been lost in this Sport, and a trial of four
years' duration convinces us of its great value.

DETBOIT.

The Market.

Usually there is a lull in business be-
fore the Christmas rush commences, but
this year seems to ,have been an ex-
ception. The demand for cut flowers
has been heavy and there has been a
general shortage of stock of all de-
scriptions, white roses being the only
exception. Carnations have been re-
, markably scarce all this fall and this
probably is a reason for the heavy
demand for other stock.

From present indications the supply
of flowers for Christmas trade will
be far short of the demand and plants
will have become still more popular.
The market is well supplied with
plants and the retailer converts cut
flower buyers into plant buyers, feeling
that by this course he will make friends
as well as add to his sales. One of the
plants with which the market was well
stocked was the ardisia. The lasting
qualities of this plant will make it
more popular from year to year. Poin-
settia plants were plentiful, but in
many instances devoid of foliage.
Azaleas were good, but not any too
plentiful. Cyclamens are becoming
more and more popular. Begonias sell,
but there is always a kick coming.
Boston ferns, although nothing new,
started to sell early and were sold by
the hundreds.

Red ruscus, boxwood, dogwood ber-
ries, prepared ferns, statice and artifi-
cial poinsettias were disposed of in
quantities far ahead of former years,
due no doubt to the skill displayed
in the arrangement. Holly was a dis-
appointment. The supply was enough,
but the quality so poor that the sale
suffered. Better mistletoe has also been

seen.

Various Notes.

Breitmeyer's advertised Ardisia cren-
ulata as the Christmas plant and sold
large numbers. One of the large win-
dows was banked almost entirely with
this plant.

Walter Taepke had his whole store
appropriately decorated, and business
opened up well.

Carnations!

A word to the g^rower of carnations!

This firm has 50,000 carnation plants that are grown exclu-
sively for cuttings, and never allowed to flower.

It has been proved conclusively that plants will not yield cut
flowers and give strong cuttings at the same time; compelling
them to do this, gives weakened stock.

If your stock is lacking vigor, replace with some of these
carefully handled cuttings; they will put you in good shape for
another year.

We use science and efficiency methods in handling our car-
nations from start to finish; visit our place and see for yourself;
you will not find a yellow or diseased plant.

We root our cuttings in clean Lake Michigan sand,
freighted 200 miles.

We root them cool.

We have 150,000 cuttings ready for DECEMBER delivery, and
we shall have 200,000 for JANUARY.

They embrace the following sorts:

Commodore . . . $12.00 per lOO; $100.00 per 1000

Richest crimson scarlet; the best keeper and traveler in the family: ex- -^

tremely free; the earliest scarlet to bloom; continues to the close of the
season in fine color. Brings a big Christmas crop; won its honors at the

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

That good pot plants are demanding
more attention each year is easily
shown at this holiday season. The
stores are full of azaleas, begonias,
heather, araucarias, ardisias, poinset-
tias, etc., of quality. The Christmas
azaleas never were better. Some ex-
cellent Petricks are retailing at from
$8 to $12 each, and well worth it. The
scarcity of red carnations and red roses
on this market may be the reason that
cut poinsettias are selling so readily.
More and better poinsettias were grown
this year than ever before and at this
writing they are practically all sold
on advance orders. Killarneys are fine
and plentiful in the long, choice stock,
but scarce in the medium grades. Val-
ley cleans up on sight. Violets are
coming in from the east in good shape.
Some early Proserpine tulips are seen;
fine flowers but short stems. Stevia,
the Christmas stand-by for boxes, is
searce. An early fall brought this in
dliring November this year and it has
been used up rapidly. Greens of all
kinds are plentiful.

Various Notes.

A. Graham & Son, on Euclid avenue,
have a fine lot of poinsettias in pans,
with foliage down to the pot.

C. Merkel & Son, of Mentor, O., are
in with a fine lot of azaleas, begonias,
etc.

C. F. Bartels, of North Olmsted, says
he will have Freesia Purity in early
January.

A meeting was held Monday, De-
cember 16, in the Florists' Club rooms,
to find ways and means to fight the
state boiler law, which compels steam
users to have only licensed firemen in
charge of boilers of thirty horse-power
or over. Only thirty-five firms were rep-
resented, but a committee was ap-
pointed with power to act in gaining
some relief to the florists wh» are af-
fected by the law.

The Florists' Club will start its an-
nual midwinter bowling tournament in
January. Everybody welcome. If you
want to get on a team, hand your
name to the secretary, on or before
Monday, January 13, as the teams will
be made up at that time. Come on in
— lots of fun and prizes — you don't
have to be a 200 bowler to shine in this
league. There will be lots of fellows
that bowl worse than you do.

Opportunity Knocks

At your door to secure the very Best Silver Pink Snapdragon in
existence. Will you accept it or remain in the same old rut, grow-
ing an inferioi*' vaiiety, and wonder why your competitor is
prospering more than you?

Read what some of the Leading Florists have to say about
Buxton's Silver Pink Snapdragon:

Mr. Geo. E. Buxton, Nashua, N. H. October 19, 1912.

Dear Sir: Your light pink Snapdragon I consider the best
color of any 1 have grown. Just the shade of a Killarney rose
and one that the ladies like. I have watched all the pink ones
that are sent to the Boston market, but they are away behind
your variety. I am growing your variety now entirely.

Very truly yours.

8. J. QODDARD,
Mr. Geo. E. Buxton.

Dear Sir: The light pink Snapdragon you are shipping is a
winner, commanding a good price and snapped up quick by the
best buyers, on account of its beautiful soft pink colorings and
good all-round habit. Grow more of it.

Yours very truly,

THOS. PEGLER.

Mr. Geo. E. Buxton. Nashua, N. H. October 24. 1912.

Dear Sir: We have grown your light pink Snapdragon the
last two years, and are very much pleased with it.

New American Beauty Geranium

>.r>^

,^ .'Vr

We take great pleasure in introducing to our
many customers for 1913 the New American Beauty
Geranium. For the first time, after working on
this wonderful new Geranium for nearly three
years, we are offering it for sale. It originated
from a novelty collection and has stood the test
now nearly three years.

Our Claim for American Beauty Geranium

is that it surpasses all other Geraniums in its real
American Beauty color—

1. In brlllianor of color.

2. In size of its large blooms.

3. In earllness of bloom.

4. In constancy of bloom.

5. In viKor, strength and stocky plants.

6. In propaeatlB K quality .

7. In number of laree clusters of blooms.

8. In selllnK quality.

9. In a wonderful ability to retain its color in

cool or tbe hottest weather.
10. In a Geranium that has come to stay as a
money maker.

AMERICAN BEAUTY is semi-double, of the purest Ameri-
can Beauty color. It is so distinct that no difference can be detected
in the color of an American Beauty Rose. The only Gera-
nium of its color ever introduced. It flowers freely the entire season.
It grows compact, medium dwarf, of stately shape with lustrous green foliage,
slightly corrugated, with a brownish circle. It produces gigantic flower heads
very freely the entire season. We claim it to have larger flower heads than any
other variety of its kind. The individual blooms measure 2U inches across and
have as many as eight fully opened, gigantic flower spikes and several half open
and more in bud, in eight-inch pots.

All orders arc filled in rotation, so place your orders early with cish accompanying. .Stock ready for shipment after January 1st, l'.>13. Price to
the trade from 213-inch pots SOc each. $6.00 per dozen. $80.00 per 100. $275.00 per 1000; from S-inch pots, $1.00 each. $10.00 per dozen, $75.00 per 100,
$700.00 per ICOO. Write for colored cut.

PITTSBUBQH.

The Market.

The weather is just right for shop-
pers, with about the right amount of
chill to make flowers look right. The
retail shops are looking fine. We can-
not see much that ia really new, but
better taste is displayed each year in
arranging plant baskets and the vari-
ous kinds of artificial wreaths and
baskets. There are all kinds of wreaths,
including ruscus, boxwood and statice,
with all the variations. Small arti-
ficial Christmas trees with small cones
and red candles are attractive. The
retailers have had a splendid week,
there being much more than the usual
demand for cut flowers for the week
before Christmas, when the trade usu-
ally lets down, but there has been no
trouble getting all the good stock
wanted excepting carnations, which
continue scarce.

The wholesalers have had a good
week, handling quantities of stock and
cleaning up every day. Boxwood got
scarce during the week, but the deal-
ers filled all orders placed in advance.
The fellows who waited were the ones
who hunted, but there is still some
coming in that will help them out. In
the green goods market good holly
and holly wreaths are scarce and laurel
has doubled in price in the yards. Wild
smilax shippers are evidently trying
to put the smilax market in the same
shape the holly market has been for
years. No one here will order holly.
They wait and buy it in the yards de-
livered for less than the dealers ordi-
narily pay for it. Wild smilax could
be bought December 21, good, fresh
stock, right off the car, from the com-
mission men at $3.50 per case, and if it
should not move readily might sell for
less. Christmas prospects among the
wholesale men are bright at present.
The only trouble looked for is a short-
age of carnations, but roses are fine
and will be in good crop.

Various Notes.

Samuel McClements was on the sick
list last week.

Ben Elliott has sold everything he
had ready for Christmas, so took a
few days off with a case of the grip,
but is out again.

"Billy" I^we, the green goods man,
is on the job as usual, with Christmas
trees and all the side lines, and is
doing a fine business. Hoo-Hoo.

Tuxedo Park, N. Y.— Patrick Glynn,
who for a number of years has been
head gardener for A. Monell, continues
in that position, reported recent addi-
tions to the staff there being of assist-
ants to Mr. Glynn.

HOLYOKE, MASS.

The Florists' and Gardeners' Club of
Holyoke and Northampton held its first
annual meeting at the greenhouses of
Eeginald S. Carey, South Hadley. A
new staff of oflScers was elected to serve
during the coming year. Professor E.
J. Canning, of Smith College, was
elected president; D. J, Gallivan, of
this city, vice-president, and Professor
James Whiting, of the State College,
secretary. Professor Kinne, of Mount
Holyoke, G. H. Sinclair and George
Strungel, of this city, were elected
members of the executive committee.
Afterward there was a talk by James
EoUins on "Methods of Gardening in
England."

Honorable mention was given to Mr.
Graves, of Northampton, for a new va-
riety of carnation, and G. H. Sinclair,
of this city, received certificates of
merit for two plants of the orchid
group.

The society has had a prosperous
year and its members extend an invita-
tion to all practical men engaged in
any branch of the profession to unite
with them. It has a membership of
about forty. At the last meeting one
new member was admitted and two
others were nominated.

The next meeting will be held at the
Smith College conservatories Tuesday
evening, January 14.

These tubs cost several times the price of pots, but we sell the plants at the same price as though grown in pots. The buyer has the
advantage of receiving his plants without breakage of pots and in handsome tubs in which they have become well established and in which
they will continue to do better than in pots.

THE NEW PINK CARNATION.
NORTHPORT.

Color, cerise pink. This variety has been
thoroughly tried out for the past five years and
we offer it today with every confidence that it
will ultimately take first place as the premier
dark pink. The color is similar to Mrs. C. W.
Ward without the objectionable streakiness and
tendency to burst the calyx of the latter variety
during the dark weather. The growth is wonder-
fully .free and continuous and Northport will
produce more flowers ' per plant than any other
variety of its type. The calyx is practically non-
tursting. Rooted cuttings, $12.00 per 100;
$100.00 per 1000.

We have for Immediate delivery Al rooted
cuttings of Enchantress, White Enchantress and
Beacon at $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000.

Greenhouse Heating.

Ip your coal bunkers are not full, fill
them at once. The days of sharp cold,
deep snows and impeded transportation
are close at hand. By all means, make
certain of your fuel.

These are those in the coal trade who
think the recent Supreme Court decision
in the anthracite coaL roads case will
have the effect of lower prices ^ext
sunmier, and lower prices for anthra-
cite will result in lower prices for the
smokeless bituminous coals so largely
used in the greenhouse trade.

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 Eeview is a good boiler, and
the advertisers sell them on their merits.

BOILER SHOP POETS.

Today we received quite a novel cor-
respondence from one of our customers
in mailing us his check in payment of
our bill for repairs; he writes as fol-
lows:

Through years of use my boiler got

To leaking for a spell.
And then I had a happy thought;

I went and saw Kroesehell.

They came with tools

And fixed the boiler well.
And now the thing bolls hot

As the boilers boil in hell.

The trouble of It Is

The money that was mine, is his.

C. A. M.

To the above the following reply was
made:

We thank you for your check, C. A.;
Enjoyed your verses much; and, say.
You'd better "can" the rake and hoe
And into writing verses go.
A man who wields the "quiU" as you
Is sure a poet through and through.
But unlike poets, as they go.
You are quite practical and know
When boiler troubles come your way
To call upon Kroesehell will pay;
That is, you pay: but then you know
That Kroesehell Bros, need the "dough."
Here's your receipt, my dear old poet.
We wish that everyone should know it.

PIPING IN NORTHERN OHIO.

I should like to ask a question on hot
water heatinj;. How many 1^-inch
pipes will be needed in a house 20x100,
with a shed at the «ast end and a show
house at the west front? Will two
2-inch mains be sufficient to supply the
rest of the pipes? Which system would
give the better results, with the boiler
set in a "pit or on the level ground?
What size of pipe would you recom-
mend, 1-inch or 1^-inch? I could use
either size. K. H.

For a house of the size mentioned it
will be best to tise an open tank sys-
tem, with the heater in a cellar or pit.
Use 21/^-inch pipe for thie flows and
2-inch for the returns. Of the former,
three will be required, one of which
can be upon each wall plate and the
other under the ridge. For the returns,
use three coils of three pipes each,

The Florists^ Review

Dbcbmbbr 26, 1912.

THE GLASS TBADE.

FloristB would not," as a rule, object
to the current prices of window glass
were they stable, but there are those in
other lines who do not accept the assur-
ances of the glass trade as to the rea-
sons for the violent fluctuations of the
last few years, maintaining that the
present prices, about fifty per cent
higher than the low prices of a year
ago, are the result of manipulation. It
is well understood that the American
Window Glass Co., the largest manu-
facturer, is not a party to any agree-
ment, but that the company, naturally
wishing to get as much as it legiti-
mately can for its product, follows the
market set by others. The market, it
is alleged, is made by concerted action
of the manufacturers whose product is
sold by a concern called the Johnston
Brokerage Co., of Pittsburgh, said to be
organized on the lines of the old Im-
perial Window Glass Co., which was
dissolved at the instance of the Depart-
ment of Justice. This concern now sub-
stantially controls the output of the fol-
lowing companies:

The plants thus controlled by the
brokerage company operate a large per-
centage of the total number of pots
in the United States. Glass trade inter-
ests assert that present prices are no
more than living prices, but antago-
nistic interests say the situation is
such as to give rise to a strong demand
for a removal of the tariff on window
glass, which is now practically pro-
hibitive on all o{ the coarser grades,
and this idea will undoubtedly be put
before the Ways and Means Committee
at an early date. Unless it can be done,
the consumers will point out, there will
be continued danger of the develop-
ment of combinations like the Imperial
Window Glass Co. and the present
' ' brokerage ' ' arrangement.

Wizard Brand Manure is especially useful

to the florist in winter, when the crude, rough
manure supply is wet, frozen and hard to get.

SHEEP or CATTLE HANDRE
PDLVERIZEp or SHREDDED

A kind for every use and in most convenient,
effective form. Saves labor, is ready for instant use
when most needed and can be depended upon.

One hundred pounds in a bag equals a whole
wagon load of stable manure.

Don't fail to specify WIZARD BRAND when you
order and you'll get the best. Your supply house can
furnish it if you insist, or we ship direct promptly.

Lawrence, Mass. — Thornton Bros,
deny the truth of a rumor that they
are planning to retire from the retail
flower trade. They say they have no
intention of withdrawing, either from
the flower or seed business, but are
spending thousands of dollars in pre-
paring for future developments.

Cleveland, O. — Miss Belle Anderson,
manager of the flower store of Fred W.
Griffin, on Euclid avenue, recently ac-
complished the arrest of a bogus physi-
cian who had swindled a number of
east end florists. A man representing
himself as Dr. Mitchell telephoned to
her for a bunch of roses and requested
that the messenger be supplied with
the change for $10. She notified the
police and secured the services of two
officers.- Then she sent a "dummy"
package to the make-believe doctor,
and the two policemen were at hand to
do the rest.

The Market

Last week the weather was cloudy
and quite mild. The absence of hard
frost, when so much shipping is going
on, is quite a help to both wholesalers
and retailers. Immense quantities of
potted stock are daily coming into the
market and everybody is preparing for
an. extra heavy trade. Begonias, all
sizes, are in big demand, also cycla-
mens and ardisias. Primulas are scarce,
but there are plenty of poinsettias and
foliage plants to make up for this de-
ficiency. Cut flowers are in good sup-
ply, excepting carnations. Boses are
selling well, Bichmond and Killarney
bringing the best prices. American
Beauties are of better quality than
they have been for some time, but the
supply is on the short side. There is
a good demand for sweet peas and vio-
lets. Valley is scarce, as are orchids.
Greens of all kinds are in heavy de-
mand.

Various Notes.

The Bon Ton Flower Shop opened
December 14. Page Potter and Herman
Hollander, formerly of the Quality
Flower Shop, are the proprietors.

Frank W. Bichardson, of East Hart-
ford, has torn down one of his green-
houses and a Lord & Burnham house
20 X 90 has been erected in its place.

Edward Welch, Jr., is improving
slowly after the accident he had last
month, but is not yet able to give an
account of how he met with his in-
juries.

W. H. Atkins, of Burnside, is cutting
some extra good carnations, but the
supply is not large enough to fill all his
orders.

W. Thompson, of West Hartford, is
cutting some fine violets and sweet
peas, which find a ready market.

W. S. C.

Marinette, Wis. — It is reported that
George Vatter was hit recently by a
Northwestern switching engine. The
extent of his injuries is not stated, but
he is expected to recover.

Watertown, Wis. — Mr. and Mrs.
Stuebe, who succeeded L. Lotz & Co.
in 1909, are now conducting the busi-
ness under the name of the Stuebe
Floral Cp._ JThe name Lotz & Co. was
retained until the present season.

Lomanitz Jasmine & Floral Co., will
take personal charge of that firm's jas-
mine plantation. This jasmine planta-
tion, which covers ten acres, is probably
the largest one-block jasmine farm in
the country.

Broadalbin, N. Y.— William K. Smith
has just completed three new green-
houses, one of them 26x175, another
32x125, and the third 32x60. With this
addition, he now has a total of nearly
30,000 square feet of glass. He also
has a store at Gloversville and is doing
a first-claSs business.

Spirit Lake, la. — Judson Klein, pro-
prietor of the Spirit Lake Greenhouses,
has arranged for the moving of his
glass from his father's farm to his
property in town. Mr. Klein has 4,000
square feet of glass and has been in
greenhouse work at Spirit Lake for
three years. While moving his glass to
town he will add another house to his
range.

The Rowayton Qreenhouses, at Rowayton, Conn., are each 450x56 ft. They represent the highest type of permanent commercial construction

For the Grower Who Looks Ahead

YOU'LL not deny our claim that the man who looks ahoad ffarthost
KOts ahoad quickoat.

■il To wake up some day and wish you had built your flower factory of
the most modern, shade-free, enduring construction Isn't going to be pleas-
ant. A few years ago there was such a difference of opinion as to whether
it was not cheaper to build cheap and often, rather than spend more and
build enduringly. But now it were as reasonable to argue that water Is

not wet as that the best type of Iron Frame construction is not the one to
build.

This Is the "concrete age"— the age when the railroads and every form
of industry are building for permanency.

There are certain reasonable reasons why our Iron Frame houses are
the houses of permanency for you to build. Let us give you the reasons
and send you our catalogue.

Hitchings and Company,

Elizabeth, N. J.
Louisa Street

The two columns, branch braces and double angle Iron cross ties form a compression
truss of tremendous strength that gives a uniformity of strain distribution

''W'

For 1 Q 1 *? ^* ^^^^ arranged to take care
■*" ^ **■ *^ of all our regular customers
and all the new ones that finally decide that they
can't be happy without Moninger materials. In-
creased facilities, more stock, more help, a larger
office and a more efficient organization all the
way through. We are ready for you, so get
started early.

One new thing next year will be the Monin-
ger refrigerating outfits. It's not new either, but
has now undergone the final test and is ready to
go on the market.

• Then you are soon to hear about that won-
derful iron paint for heating systems and all iron
work. A really wonderful combination that has
been in preparation almost five years. You will
want some of ^his paint right off. We have or-
dered 10,000 gallons for the first six months and
will be ready to deliver about January 15th.

1913 is going to be a big year. Get started
early and reap the benefit.

JOHN C. MONINGER CO.

During 1912

it was our pleasure to
do more business than
we ever did before and our customers are entirely
responsible for it. Right here, Mr. Customer, we
want to thank you for every dollar you spent with
us. Come again when you need anything, for we
appreciate your trade and will treat you fair and
square. . .

Our watering systems were put on the market
this year and some of our friends now have their
pump and engine troubles out of the way forever.
Better figure on getting a Moninger outfit next
time you buy.

The new flat rafter house came out this sea-
son. It is the best house we make and we think
the best that can be made by anybody.

Yes, it was a good year all around and our
customers are entitled to the credit.

Continued success to you, Mr. Customer.
