The Florists' Review d Easter NOW READY TO BOOK YOUR ORDER Randall's Easter crop of Lilies is famous — everybody who ever has tried them knows that there never are any finer and seldom any as good. For years and years Randall's Lilies have been the standard by which all other Lilies have been judged. Some years one grower and some years another will claim to have Lilies "as good as Randall's," but Randall's Lilies always have been acknowledged as the leader. These are true Giganteums — the best bulbs money would buy, forced by the best grower we know. Natu- rally, we have the best flowers. Easter is unusually early this year, and it is all the more important to place your order with the most dependable source of supply — there will be a great many over-forced Lilies OB the market, stock that won't stand shipping. Our Lilies will be just right. They will be packed at the greenhouses in wooden boxes of 100 flowers each. Order as many as you need — Eastep is only three weeks away. NOW BOOKING ADVANCE ORDERS Randairs Fancy Lilies for Easter, $12.50 per 100; $100.00 per 1000 Better take advantaRe of the above ofiter at once.

The Eeview has received a page from the Public Ledger marked "From the Philadelphia Publicity Bureau. Get the trade busy on this negative suggestion. Charles Henry Fox." The "negative suggestion" is an item headed "Lower the High Cost of Dying," under a Cin- cinnati date line, and reads as follows: "A novel way to decrease the 'high cost of dying' has been devised by the board of managers of St. Xavier's church, one of the largest Catholic par- ishes in southern Ohio. An announce- ment has been made that in the future no funerals to which flowers are per- mitted to be sent will be permitted held in the church. It also was announced that in the place of flowers the parish, at its own expense, will issue memoriam cards to all the friends of the deceased, announcing the death and a brief biog- raphy of the deceased. One of the man- agers stated that it was the beginning of a nation-wide movement that, has been started in the last month." Every once in a while an item like this finds its way into print, and almost always The Eeview receives several cop- ies, from florists who fear the worst is about to happen. It is, as Mr. Fox says, a "negative suggestion," and one not to be advertised by opposition, but The Review has several times stated its opinion that no great amount of harm can come of such efforts to do away with flowers at funerals. The Eeview told the trade not to get excited about the fad of wearing artificial corsage flowers; that it would soon die out; and it did. Don't be alarmed at "Please omit flowers" in funeral notices — they won't help, but so long as flowers are recognized as "messengers of senti- ment" their use will not be curtailed to any appreciable extent by the acts of those whose only idea is to cut the cost. EASTER PLANTS. Question: Will the early Easter re- duce the number of good blooming plants that will be ready? Answer: It will not. The plants will he finer and there will be more of them than ever before. . These are facts that foreshadow an immense business this month, for with the stock assured our retailers all over the country have the energy and brains to meet the unusual conditions of this *^->*'"^ordinarily early Easter. The stock, aided by cultural skill and excellent weather, is in wonderfully fine condi- tion. There has actually been no lorcmg; the stock has been brought on naturally. The idea that a plant must "f nard enough to stand shipping, to stand well in the store and then to stand well in home or church has put ^n^^" *^ I'igli temperatures in flower- "?,/"0f.t high grade plants. I tie lily is first among Easter brought into general notice. There are practically no diseased lilies on the benches today. Giganteums form the bulk of the stock, but there are a good many multiflorums and a good many Formosas. These three types give a range of heights as comprehensive as the different sizes afford variety in the number of buds to each plant. The azalea once came next to the lily in order of popularity as an Easter plant. It does so no longer, through no fault of its own. It has gone down several places because it is less satis- factory than formerly, both from a cul- tural and from a monetary standpoint. The rose stands next to the lily to- day. Its advance is due mainly to the plants * ^y, as it was when it was first Sweet Peas in a Funeral Spray. progress made in developing the Wichu- raiana type. Crimson Rambler still stands at the head of the varieties suitable for Easter forcing. Next come the pink ramblers, then the baby class — Phyllis, Orleans, Mrs. Taft, and Mrs. Cutbush are all coming forward as fine sorts. The hybrid roses, led by Magna Charta, Frau Karl Druschki and Soleil d'Or, are also good. The hybrid teas include Richmond, Killarney and a few others. The hydrangea shows an advance equal to that of the rose. The new French varieties, seen in small num- bers last season, have taken their place side by side with Otaksa. There are eight or nine of these varieties. All can be had in quantity. The flowers are not quite so large as on Otaksa, but the colors are simply exquisite. in their soft clearness. The plants are, as a rule, exceedingly well budded, making them showy. The bulk of the hydran- geas, both standard and novel, are in salable medium sizes. Astilbe Japonica Gladstone, com- monly called spirtea, has crowded out nearly all other varieties. They are so fine this year that there is little left to desire. A few of the pink spiraea, Queen Alexandra, are seen. Genistas in the larger sizes are supe- rior to anything offered last season. The best are remarkably fine, the result of culture and a cool temperature steadily maintained. Rhododendrons show the result of skill on both sides of the water. The plants were good when they came, and they have had good treatment since, with no need of fire heat to bring them on and spoil them now. These are the principal Easter plants grown in great quantity for wholesal- ing. Daisies, deutzias, hyacinths, tulips, -narcissi, valley, lilacs, etc., are grown in smaller quantities and are less seen in the big markets, although often grown by the retailers on their own places. The stock for Easter is so fine that a good Easter is in sight, the battle half won, for with good stock it is less dif- ficult to command success. Phil. SWEET PEAS IN SPRAYS. Since the introduction of the winter- flowering sweet peas, and the long- stemmed varieties, retail florists have come to use the flower for practically every purpose, even for funeral sprays. There are those who think the use of sweet peas for funeral purposes will de- tract from the popularity of the flower for corsage and other finer uses, but this seems an exaggerated view. At any rate, the modern sweet pea makes a handsome funeral spray, as is shown by the accompanying illustration, prepared from a photograph supplied by J. L. Easke, a Chicago retailer. HER TWENTY-FOURTH BIRTHDAY. A recent issue of a newspaper pub- lished in Muskogee, Okla., tells a story — presumably a true> story— about a florist in that city who unintentionally entered into -conflict with Cupid and almost upset the little love-god's plans. The florist in the case was Oscar Werner, proprietor of the Hyde Park Greenhouses. Another leading charac- ter in the tale was a young man who had frequently purchased flowers from Mr. Werner. Still another character of consequence was the young l^dy to whom many of the roses had been sent. On the occasion referred to in the story, the young lady had ^attained her twenty-fourth birthday. Of course, there was nothing peculiar or remark- able about that; twenty-fourth birth- days are common enough, since every person of mature years must have had one. Still, it is important, in this in- stance, to remember the lady's age, for the young man resolved to send' her just two dozen roses, one for each year of her life. So he sent the order for the two dozen roses, with the address to which 20 The Florists' Review March 6, 1913. they were to be delivered, and he sent his card, to be enclosed with the flowers as usual. But Mr. Werner, the florist, knew nothing about the aforementioned birthday, and he did not know that the lover had written on the card, "Here's a rose for every year of your age." And Mr. Werner should not be blamed for not discovering that in- scription, since it was written on the back of the card, where no one expects anything to be written. He did know, however, that he had an abundant supply of roses. So he decided to be generous in filling the order and to give the young couple a pleasant sur- prise. Here the newspaper narrator goes on to tell, seemingly just for the purpose of keeping the reader in suspense a while, that on the night of the birth- day the lover took unusual care in preparing his toilet. He tried to ima- gine how happy she would be, just what she would, say and how beautiful she would appear. Her picture on the wall seemed to smile at him as he stood and gazed at it for a minute or so just before leaving the room. He could hardly wait for the front door to open, and he was ready for a hearty greeting from Her. After an unusually long period of waiting, the door finally did open, but no smil- ing, love-lit face was upturned to his. The young woman merely stared at her startled lover and said icily, ' ' Come in. You have some explaining to do. I want to know where you acquired such a crude sense of humor." But it is useless to attempt to de- scribe the tragedy and pathos of that conference; none but a poet could do justice to the scene — and, alas, there is no poet on the staff of The Eeview. The brief but bitter truth is that the young man, after long and painful be- wilderment, discovered that the lady had received three dozen roses instead of two dozen. Then he spent the rest of the miserable evening trying to ex- plain matters, with only partial success. He hurried to the greenhouse before going to work next morning and asked Mr. Werner how in the world he had happened to put an extra dozen roses in the order. Mr. Werner stated what his motives had been, and then asked, "Didn't your friend like them?" "Oh, she "was simply crazy about them," said the young man rather ambiguously, as he walked away. A COMPLETE BECOBD. A few weeks ago we saw in The Review the reproduction of an order blank used by a retail florist in han- dling his telephone trade. We send herewith for reproduction a blank wq use for all our retail orders. We think it covers the ground and gives a com- plete description of every transaction. Each person who has fi hand in the transaction fills in the blanks describ- ing'l^^ part and we keep these blanks on file^'f or' at least sixty days after each transactioii, soihat we can trace every move made'i^Hing the order, in put- ting it up, a^MKdelivery.

There is no real reason why either the wholesale or the retail florist should open on Sunday. The greenhouses must, of course, be watched, the houses venti- lated, the stock watered, and the fires kept up, for the laws of nature know no holiday. But that is no excuse for opening our wholesale and retail stores on Sunday. Every man, even a florist, is entitled to one day's rest out of the seven. We can not close up by mutual agreement, for there is always someone who will not cooperate with the bal- ance of the trade, and so the only way out of the dilemma is to have a state law passed making it illegal for florists to keep open on Sundays. It will not decrease the quantity of flowers sold. People will soon adjust themselves to the need of providing flowers during the week days, and such a law will put the florists on a plane with the other merchants who have one day out of seven for rest and recreation. The florist is human and entitled to human consideration. " C. A. M. PABCEL POST CHANGES. The amplification of the parcel post service has begun. By a recent order of the Postmaster General, parcels may now be sent spe- cial delivery, the same as letters. All one has to do is to af&x a special de- livery stamp, or 10 cents in ordinary postage stamps, indicating that the lat- ter are for the special delivery, and the package gets the same treatment as a special delivery letter. Parcel post packages may now be sent C. O. D. The postage must be fully prepaid. A fee of 10 cents in parcel post stamps, which must be af- fixed to the package, is the charge for collection. The amount to be collected must not exceed $100. Such parcels are insured without extra charge to the amount of actual value, not exceed- ing $50. Special delivery parcels may be sent through all offices having special de- livery service and C. O. D. packages wUl be accepted at money order offices when addressed to money order of- fices. FBEY TUENS PUBLISHER. C. H. Frey, the well known florist at Lincoln, Neb., has turned publisher. He calls his monthly magazine The Posey. It consists of four pages of jokes bound in a neat cover. The front is decorative, the fourth cover carries Mr. Frey's ad, while the sec- ond and third covers, of the first issue, carry a story of the rise of the Frey establishment, as follows: "In May, 1887, I purchased two lots at Twentieth and L streets, and began the erection of two greenhouses, and a small cottage (previous to this I had made the acquaintance of a lady who had consented to cook for me). The two greenhouses were completed by fall and stocked with plants commod in that day as pot plants and for the production of cut flowers. "The lady friend having become my wife, we opened our two houses for business October 1. Not being blessed with a surplus of cash (or credit), we could not afford to hire help, so had to do all the work about the place our- selves. But having started out with a determination to make the venture a success (having had previous to this five years of schooling in this my chosen profession), I knew how to grow flowers, so all we needed now was customers. These came at once, and continued to come, and brought others, so that the business soon had to be expanded. At the close of the second year we had to seek more land. Not be- ing able to buy more adjoining our plant, we moved the plant to Twenty- second and G streets, where my father had five acres, and added a few more houses. "While this venture proved a profit- able one, it was not a satisfactory one for me, but we continued to do busi- ness here for four years, then turned this plant over to my father. "After Looking around a short time we purchased five acres southeast of Lincoln, situated on Thirty-fifth street, four blocks south of South street, where we built seven large houses, a residence, bams and such other build- ings as were necessary to the success- ful operation of the plant. "This plant being completed by the W^' is+)»,"'.w^»iriw MAECH Q. 1018. The Florists' Review 21 fall of 1894, we were again ready to «ckyard are wjsightly; therefore plant a sdreiSn of tall shrubs across from the back of the house to the boundary fence to conceal such things. Of course this screen is to be as far back from the street as possible. Rule No. 5. — Do not plant in straight lines. Use shrubs of varying sizes and heights and plant so the line is irregular. Rule No. 6. — Mass your shrubs. That is, do not dot them around, but plant all of one kind together. Rule No. 7. — Do not plant clipped for- mal hedges for our climate. It is very difficult to make them do well here. If, after years of work, a plant dies out, the whole thing is ruined and they take an immense amount of care to keep them in proper condition. Finally, even when in perfect condition they are formal and ugly and a good honest wire fence, cov- ered with Virginia creeper and other vines, has the advantage from every point of view. The Places For Flowers. AVe now have the backbone of our work •done and the places for planting flowers Will suggest themselves. The big, the Bhowy, and the brilliant colored things, we will get well to the back. The cannas and hollyhocks will make a gorgeous show ipl&nted in front of the screen at the rear. The little bays in our undulating border will be .iust "the place for geraniums or other plants in long irregular beds. Clumps of the earlier hardy bulbs, as squills, snowdrops and the like, may be planted under the edges of the overhang- ing shrubbery, to remain permanently. The smaller and more delicate flowers, which must be seen at close range, will naturally be planted near the front. Sweet scented blossoming plants should be near the windows and the porch. Great care must be taken not to plant discordant or clashing colors together, and a red or brightly colored house re- quires discrimination in selecting the col- ors to be planted closely to it. Time permits here only the crudest and briefest hints, but there are numberless books and magazines dealing with the subject very fully — to be sure, there is an immense lot of rubbishy nonsense be- ing published also. Many publishers ap- pear to think that a flashy literary style is all-important and real knowledge of the subject an entirely secondary matter. If space available permits, some well grown shrubs, or small trees on the flo- rist's grounds will not only be orna- mental, but will make excellent selling samples. Unless conditions are unusual it will probably not be advisable to at- tempt to propagate or grow on, shrub stock, as it can be bought very cheaply as wanted from the nurseries. In cenclusion, let me earnestly urge every florist in the class mentioned to look into this matter and try it. I am sure that the profit and the pleasure de- rived will both be great. FLORICULTUBE AT URBANA. [A synopsis of a paper by H. B. Dorner, read at the convention of tlie Illinois State Florists' Association at Peoria, March 6, 1913, descriptive of the florlcultural worlt at the University of Illinois.] During the last year G. L. Peltier suc- ceeded H. W. Anderson as pathologist, and r. W. Muncie was appointed physio- logical chemist. The staff now numbers , flye. The equipment was variously added to. At a meeting of the advisory board, heW yU; spring, it was decided to con- tinue, tfcr another year, the Experiments on commercial fertilizers with roses and carnations and on the stem-rot of carna- tions. The experiments on the growing of roses with chemical fertilizers and the testing of own-root and grafted stock are a continuation of the work of the last two years. The results, up to date, bid fair to verify the conclusions of last year. Without doubt, the results of these experiments will be of great value to all florists growing roses. The experiments on carnations are a continuation of the comparison of com- mercial and natural manures and on over- feeding with nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous. This work also promises very gratifying results. The results on the experiments on com- mercial fertilizers with carnations, which were completed last year, are now await- ing the verification of this year 's work so that they may be published in full. The first year's work on stem-rot was a study of the life history of the fungus that causes the disease. The work of this year has been a further study of the ac- tion of the organism and preliminary experiments on its control. While the work of the coming year has not, as yet, been decided upon by your committee, the following lines will be pre- sented for their approval : It is proposed that the work with roses be continued along the lines of soil fer- tility, on both own-root and grafted plants. The work on carnations, as planned, contemplates further work on the effects of overfeeding and measures to overcome it, on the study of the limiting element in feeding and on the chemical constitu- ents of the plant and their relation to feeding. The study of stem-rot of carnations is to be continued and methods for its pre- vention and control will be worked out. An entire house will be devoted to path- ological work. It is also proposed to carry on some work with chrysanthemums along the line of feeding to determine the kinds and amounts of fertilizer required and when they should be applied. A study of the effects of overwatering and overfeeding of various pot plants is also proposed. A study of this kind will assist the florist in diagnosing such cases without difficulty. Two circulars have been issued. A 22- page circular on the experiments on car- nations and roses and a 16-page circular on the instructional work were printed in time for distribution at the Chicago meet- ing of the S. A. F. More complete cir- culars will be issued as soon as this year 's work is completed and the results can be compiled and verified. Many requests have been received from florists and amateurs concerning plant troubles. These have all been given close attention and the growers have received all the help possible. The results of this work have been gratifying. The reports show that in many cases the help given has been the cause of the saving of thou- sands of dollars. It is hoped that more florists will avail themselves of the oppor- tunity and allow your workers at the sta- tion to be of service to them. All queries and material sent to the Division of Flori- culture will receive prompt attention. Eight students are now registered for the four-year course in floriculture. The completion of the new houses will add greatly to the facilities of the division and make it possible to give the students considerable work along practical lines. As stated in a previous report, the re- vision of the campus necessitates jibe re- moval of the greenhouses to a new loca- tion on the east side of the campus. The new houses that were provided for in the appropriations of two years ago are being built upon the new site and are nearing completion. The plans are to move the old range this coming summer. The new range consists of two houses, 35x105 and a curvilinear palm house 40 x80 feet. These, with the addition of another house 35x105 feet, to be built this summer, and the old houses to be moved, cover an area of 27,700 square feet. The new houses are all of iron frame con- struction. The contract has also been let for a new service building, 35x95 feet, two stories high. In this will be located the work rooms, storage rooms, labora- tories, class room and offices. EXPERIMENTS ON STEM-ROT. [Extracts from a paper by G. L. Peltier, of the University of Illinois, read before the Illi- nois State Florists' Association at Peoria, March C, 1913.] Following the plan of last year, most of our attention has been confined to one disease, namely, wet stem-rot of carnation. A number of strains of Rhizoctonia from various hosts, potato, clover, corn, bean, carrots, thistle and other vegetables, were obtained from various sources. The object is to de- termine Whether the strain of Rhizoc- tonia from the carnation host alone, or those from all other hosts, can produce stem-rot of the carnation. If the first statement proves to be the case, then the matter of controlling stem-rot will be simple, for it will be merely a ques- tion of eliminating the diseased plants. On the other hand,^ if other strains of Rhizoctonia are able to attack the car- nation it will be a difficult problem to work out a means of control, for one will never know when the plants w^ll be attacked in the field. Further, the soil brought into the greenhouse, if taken from a field on which the hosts named above have been grown, might be infected with Rhizoctonia. This question is of fundamental importance. Some Conclusions Reached. From observations in the carnation field last summer the following con- clusions, some of them no doubt being well known, but which can probably bear repeating, may be made: (1) When plants are put out in the field in the spring they are liable to be set too deep, which perhaps may bring about some morphological difference in the stem just at the surface of the ground, causing the plant to become more susceptible to stem-rot. Great care should be exercised in planting the plants just the required depth. This should be done again when the plants are taken into the house in the fall. (2) From data collected from diseased plants in the field, a plant with a single stem which breaks one to two inches above the surface of the soil is much ■■*;''';"T;^or'V'.;»r-'^'7'-» ^'~r^r-w^-w'r^Trw:^'^*^*fjtM^fn v^ ■*Jf, -^^^^-.T! r^^,nS, "11^. ■ wftlfH^^l^F^I."!^ Wi^llJ|iiV<«|H^li-L MABCH 6, 1913. The Florists' Review I less liable to stem-rot than a plant ! breaking just at, or slightly below, the ground. The reason is obvious. The branches of a plant forking at the sur- face of the ground are easily broken off in different ways. They generally break at the base, so there is exposed a wound, through which fungi can easily enter. The wound is later covered with soil, and so it is an easy matter for the fungus Rhizoctonia to enter the exposed tissue and produce stem-rot. A large number of plants examined show that in the majority of cases the fungus gains entrance through a wound of this kind. (3) Cultivating too deep and throw- ing the soil up around the plants also produces a condition more favorable to Rhizoctonia. Great care should be exer- cised not to injure any of the plants with the cultivator. (4) If stem-rot is present in a carna- tion field all dead or wilted plants should be pulled up as soon as noticed and the soil surrounding the plant should be soaked with a fungicide, preferably formalin. It can be applied in the dilu- tion of 1:200. Formalin is desirable in this work, as it will kill the mycelium of the fungus Rhizoctonia in the ground, it is inexpensive, the fumes escape from the soil quickly and it does not injure the soil in any way. Sterilizing Soil. Concerning the work in the green- house, only general statements can be made at this time. A number of agents for sterilizing the soil were tried, in- cluding steam, and a number of fungi- cides. The experiments were conducted in the following manner: The soil was first infected with soil cultures of the fungus Rhizoctonia grown, in the labora- tory, and then half of it was sterilized, the other half being left as a check. In the steam sterilized bench no plants have died, while in the bench infected with Rhizoctonia and not sterilized the loss due to stem-rot is sixty per cent. The fungicides, Bordeaux mixture, cop- per sulphate and sulphuric acid, all gave poor results. Formalin applied at the rate of 1:200 and the soil allowed to dry for a week has given excellent results, none of the plants being diseased up to this date. The application of limestone also appears to retard the growth of Rhizoctonia. Next year we will confine all our efforts to steam sterilized soil, the formalin treatment, and the appli- cation of limestone. Steam sterilized soil appears to have one serious disadvantage, mainly that the growth of plants is slightly retarded tor the first two or three weeks. There seems to be no satisfactory explanation tor this phenomenon. Steam sterilized sand has been use5 ror cuttings in the experimental work '^"^ has proven satisfactory. To date no Khizoctonia has been found in any or the carnation cutting beds at station and it is doubtful that aisease is carried in this manner, seems more probable, then, that Plants are first attacked in the field, ih^ ^^ ™^° ^^^« stated before, it is of ine utmost importance to know whether strains of Rhizoctonia infecting various K i' '° ^}^ fi^ld are also able to attack the carnation plants. +li« ^! ? t^® ™08* important factors in xne control of stem-rot in the greenhouse nla^fc '^^^^^^^ selection of carnation Lasf foTi^° brought in from the field. »i laii every plant that showed any the the It the "WHO'S WHO-AND WHY" HUGH WILL. WHAT will Hjighl Hugh will see to it that every one who attends the S. A. F. conlvention next August has just the best tifne ever. For Hugh Will, smiling Hugh, with the twinkles in the wrinkles 'round his eyes, is chair- man of the big, buly committee that has charge of the entertainment features, and already is hard at work. Mr. Will also is a member of the finance committee, the committee on transportation and, as you might guess from the twinkle, of the committee on convention sports. There isn't anything he isn't in. He is president of the Minnesota State Florists' Association and of practically all the trade societies. In business he is one of the three brothers who own the largest range of glass in the Twin Cities, operating it under the corporate name of Will Bros. Co. They are cut flower growers primarily, although a considerable quantity of other material is grown for the Minneapolis market and for the shipping trade through the nortlifwest. signs of disease, as well as all unhealthy or damaged plants, was examined. As a result only a few plants have been lost on account of this disease. This matter of selecting plants is, therefore, an important factor in the control of this disease. If occasionally a plant is killed by Rhizoctonia in the greenhouse it should be pulled up immediately and the soil drenched with a solution of formalin. A fresh plant should not be put in until the soil is dry and it should re- ceive careful treatment. Four plantd replaced in the sRme place have been seen to die, in eadh case for the simple reason that they received the same treatment as the surrounding plants, which were strong and healthy and had been growing for some time, and that the fungus was stjll present in the soil. The problem of the control of the wet stem-rot is far froin being complete, but experiments give some encouragement so that in the near future a method of control will probably be found for this serious disease. Dry Stem-Bot. Another disease which causes more or less loss to growers of carnations is the so-called dry stem-rot, which I suggest be called branch wilt, to distinguish it more sharply from the wet stem-rot, due to Rhizoctonia. This branch wilt is due to a species of the fungus Fusarium. This fungus has never been seen to attack a healthy growing carnation plant. It gains entrance to the tissue of the part in each case through wounds and cuts on the plant. The spores, which are everywhere in the soil and air of the house are able to germinate in a drop of water, so that if the plants are wet and a flower is cut the spore will germinate 26 The Florists^ Review Mabch 6, 1913. on this cut surface and work its way into the branches. When . the young shoots arise they grow until the fungus reaches the base of the shoot and in a short time the shoot will wilt suddenly and die. The fungus is rarely able to kill the whole plant. By looking over a carnation house infected with branch wilt the dead branches are conspicuous and characteristic of this disease. The only control that can be suggested at this time is absolute cleanliness of the house. As this fungus is able to grow on dead leaves of the plants as well as on and under the benches, such conditions should not be tolerated. Over- head watering should be discontinued as much as possible, especially in cloudy weather. Yellows. Yellows, as I shall call this disease for the present, to distinguish it from bacteriosis and stigmonose, is widely dis- tributed throughout the state, and from reports seems to be increasing rapidly. The trouble starts in the young leaves and is first noticed as small pale green areas varying in size and shape. On holding an infected leaf up to the light the dots appear translucent. These spots become more distinct and turn yellow, while the tissue beneath collapses. The trouble is confined not only to the leaves, but in badly infected plants the branches and flower stems may be cov- ered with the yellow elongated spots. Several distinct forms of yellows can be recognized, which differ in general appearance and subsequent behavior. The early stages of the first type consist of small translucent dots, scattered ir- regularly through the leaf. At first they are a paler green than the sur- rounding tissue, but distinctly delineated from it. The spots increase more or less rapidly until they reach a diameter of one to eight millimeters. Most of these spots are approximately circular, but may be irregular in outline, rarely elongated. Few of the spots coalesce in this form. This type is especially noticeable on White Enchantress. A single leaf may have from one or two to fifty or more spots, depending on the extent of infection. Another charac- teristic of this first type is that the spots do not tend to make the leaves brittle. The development of the second form is similar to the one above, except that while still in the early stages the spots coalesce and become much elongated, so that a single spot may be one to two inches or more in length. On badly in- fected leaves these elongated areas run parallel to the midrib and have a sort of flaky appearance. The leaves become brittle and are easily snapped off. In the later stage the tissue beneath the areas collapses, the spot becomes sunken and finally turns brown as the leaf dies. This type of yellows is found in the Beacon and Pink Enchantress and is, as a rule, much more destructive than the first type. A third form may be mentioned here, which is found only on the red-flowered varieties, as Beacon. Here the areas in the late stages take on a purplish color, and are slightly raised. It is not known whether this form is the same as the others or not. The red-flowered varie- ties are also susceptible to the second type, beside this third form. No explanation as to the cause of this disease can be given at present. How- ever, preliminary experiments have shown that the disease is not transmis- sable from one plant to another, but that it is carried from season to season by means of infected cuttings. Until the cause has been determined the sug- gestion is made that no cuttings from plants that show yellows be taken; and if any plants show these spots at any time from the cutting bench stage to the time they are brought into the house in the fall, they should be discarded. In this way the disease to a large ex- tent will be eliminated. COOL HOUSE FOR HOT CLIMATE. E. E. Stone, nurseryman, Dickinson, Tex., is the owner of the unique green- house siiown in the accompanying illus- trations. It is like other greenhouses in so far as the frame goes, but it is dif- ferent from the rest in that it is exactly the opposite of the usual "warm house for cool locations — it is a cool house for a hot climate. The house is 30 x 100, of the well known Foley pipe frame con- struction, with no benches but four lines of purlin supports. The common com- plaint in Mr. Stone's location, which is in Galveston county, close to the Gulf coast, is that the ordinary form of greenhouse gets too hot in summer. Af- ter thinking the matter out, Mr. Stone had the Foley Mfg. Co. build a special roof on the regular, standard frame. Shade was what Mr. Stone wanted. This is how he got it: At the end of the house were three sashbars to carry glass in the ordinary way; then a bar was omitted and a frame set in two panes wide, not glazed, but filled with roofing felt; then three more runs of glass; then a frame of felt, and so on to the other end of the house. The side walls have glass below the glazed bars and hinged vents filled with felt below the felted frames. The frames are fastened to the eave plate and to the ventilator header, the ven- tilator also being filled with felt. Mr. Stone says he has had a number of in- quiries from other southerners who are watching his experiment and that its success will mean the erection of a num- ber of similar houses in the Gulf sec- tion. The trees shown in the picture are camphor trees, a small-leaved evergreen, fast growing and capable of withstand- ing 10 to 12 degrees of frost, that Mr. Stone considers ideal for the coast country. FESTILIZESS FOB CABNATIONS. [A summary of a paper by F. W. Muncie, of the University of Illinois, read before the Illi- nois State Florists' Association at Peoria, March U, 1913.] The experimental work during 1912-13 includes a combination of the experiments carried on during the previous year and described in our pamphlet published in July, 1912, in regard to the relative effi- ciency of commercial fertilizers and nat- ural manures for growing carnations. The data from October 1 to December 17, 1912, bear out the conclusions drawn from the results of last year, that the number and quality of flowers produced by either method are practically the same. It seems well here to repeat the amount of fertilizers used and to describe the method of application. When the soil is put into the benches in the latter part of July, two pounds of, dried blood, two pounds of acid phosphate and two pounds of potassium sulphate are mixed with the soil for each 100 square feet of bench space and thoroughly worked in with trowels; and, after a thorough watering, the soil is allowed to stand over night be- fore setting the plants. At three other times during the year, at about Novem- ber 1, January 1 and February 15, addi- tional applications of two pounds of dried blood worked into the top inch of soil Krectlng the Pipe Frame.

Splitting and Stem Strength. The results indicate no danger of caus- ing splitting by treatment with commer- cial fertilizers. In the variety White - Enchantress, 97.1 per cent of the flowers in each case were those with perfect calyces; in the variety White Perfection 87 per cent of the flowers had perfect calyces when grown with natural manures and 94.7 per cent when grown with com- mercial fertilizers. We may safely con- clude from these data that the use of commercial fertilizers will not lead to an aLiiornial percentage of splits. In order to determine the effects of commercial fertilizers upon the strength of stems, flowers were gauged as first, second or third, according to their stem strength, first indicating the normal con- dition and third an excessive weakness. With White Enchantress, treatment with natural manures produced flowers, 78 per cent of which were classed as first; with commercial fertilizers, 76.8 per cent, while in the variety White Perfection the percentages are 89.7 per cent and 98 per cent respectively. Clearly then, the use of commercial fertilizers will not lead to weakness in stems. Keeping Quality of Flowers. Eecords were kept in 1909-*0 and 1911- 1^, as well as during the present year, to determine whether raising flowers with commercial fertilizers injures their keep- ing quality.

You can gradually work the stig- monose out of your carnation stock by selecting your cuttings. Select cut- tings which do not show any of these light spots. When the cuttings are rooted, select again, as the disease will frequently show at that time, even though the young shoots appeared quite clean when the cuttings were taken. If any of it shows after the plants have become established in the pots, cull them out again. By constant selection you can, after a few seasons, have your stock entirely clean. How many seasons it will take, will depend entirely on how critically you do . the selecting. A. F. J. B. LAWSON OF YORK. Jos. W. Lawson started in business at York, Neb., a little over two years ago, making bis beginning with one house 25x100. During the last season he added two other houses, one 27x100 and the other 12x90, giving his ee^ab- lishment the appearance shown in the smaller of the two accompanying illus- trations. Hot water is used for heat- ing, the apparatus having been installed by Mr. Lawson himself. The boiler house contains two No. 27 Mercer water heaters. Jhe piping is all 2V^-inch pipe and he says his home-made system gives him perfect satisfaction. His main crop is carnations, and at the recent ex- hibition at Lincoln, under the auspices of the Nebraska State Florists' Asso- ciation, he took first premiums on white and on light pink. He grows roses in small quantities, also sweet peas, mums, violets, smilax and potted plants. One bench is given to lettuce, which proves a profitable crop. Business has been excellent this season. He had a splen- did Christmas trade, amounting to sev- eral times as^,much as a year ago, and there has been a good, steady demand for wedding, funeral and society flowers all through the season. He is looking forward to needing still more glass. IN NORTH CAROLINA. The illustration on page 28 will show that carnations can be grown in North Carolina just as successfully as in other climates. This house is 20x80, though the picture shows only half of it. It is one of three houses planted to carnations by Fred EoU, Durham, N. C, a town a good many smokers have heard of. Mr. EoU has something over 2,500 carnation plaHts and has cut good stock steadily. He complains that this has been the warmest winter in fifteen years, with hyacinths blooming out- doors at the end of January. He thinks a colder climate vastly more favorable for florists.

Plants which are flowering should have a night temperature as near 50 degrees as possible; better have it 48 degrees rather than 52 degrees. The* day tem- perature, when dark and overcast, may advance 8 degrees, and on sunny days 15 degrees, with an abundance of fresh air. Do not allow the houses to become warm and then proceed to rush on a lot of air, nor allow them to get chilly and shut down tight in the same way. Open the ventilators gradually, and close gradually. The surest way to bring on mildew is by careless ventilation. Plants which now have short stems should be pulled out and their places taken by some other crop. From this time on there will be so many long-stemmed flowers on the market that the grower with short-stemmed stock, unless he can utilize it in funeral work, will have con- siderable trouble in disposing of it. Houses which are now coming into crop should give splendid stems, provided the plants are allowed four to six inches apart in the rows and the rows are not too close together. Four to six feet are usual distances, six feet being better where space will permit of it. Plants in flower, in fact all sweet peas, must be gone over regularly and given proper support. Soft, white twine run lengthwise of the rows, caught here and there to the upright strings supporting the plants, makes thi best and neatest support. These supports must be given promptly, for once the stems get bent or twisted, the flower stems from such are unsalable. Then the question of judicious feeding is a most important one. I get constant inquiries from growers asking why their peas come short-stemmed. One cause is too thick sowing; the other, in- sufficient plant food. Sweet peas must have a deep, rich soil if they are to bloom for a long period and produce strong stems, and they must also have liquid manure or topdressings of pulverized sheep manure, fine bone or cow manure. All these are good, and, after applying them, lightly stir the surface soil prior to watering. It is better not to use chem- ical stimulants; these may create a strong growth and give long stems, but it is usually found they make growths and flowers soft and that plants soon deterio- rate after such stimulants are applied. In the matter of fumigation also ex- treme care is necessary. It is easy to scorch the foliage and then blame the damage on some other imaginary cause. When fumigation has to be done, let it be in light doses and do not keep the ven- tilators closed all night, particularly on warm nights. Where plants are near the heating pipes, there is always danger of red spider getting a foothold. Force of water through a spray nozzle is the best preventive. For some years we were limited in our raiij^e of colors in sweet peas for forcing, but now practically all shades are avail- able, and as the Spencer types have prac- tically driven the grandiflora varieties from the field for outdoor culture, the ad- vent of a large number of new Spencer winter bloomers, with habits and charac- teristics otherwise resembling such sorts as Mont Blanc and Christmas Pink, makes it probable that in four or five years nothing but Spencer varieties will be seen under glass, for certainly where Spencer flowers are obtainable it is hard work to sell the grandifloras. SWEET PEA LEAVES DYING. Can you tell me what is the matter with the enclosed sweet pea leaves? The old leaves become diseased and drop oflF. What is the cause and the cure, if any? The plants are otherwise healthy and giving good bloom, but the stems are short on the laterals. J. M. Without knowing anything of the cul- tural conditions, etc., it is not easy to give the reason for sweet pea foliage dying. If the plants are standing too- closely in the rows, stem-rot may de- velop. Again, if you have hilled them up or given an additional covering of soil, as is often advised for outdoor sweet peas, you are sure to have the same trouble. If the same soil has been previously used for sweet peas, without any change of crops, you may expect diseased plants. Even partial drynesa at the root will cause leaves to die off. Sometimes, also, the seeds are saved from plants which, if not actually dis- eased, have but little vitality, and their offspriftg or some portion of them will come diseAWd. If your plants are in raised benches,, you will not get as long and strong stems as in solid beds. The former dry out too quickly, and sweet pea& like to- have their roots cool and moist. Pre- suming that you had well enriched soil for them, they would be much benefited now by a top-dressing of sheep manure or old cow manure, while liquid manure once a fortnight would materially im- prove them. A temperature of 48 to 50 degrees at night, 56 to 58 degrees on dull days and 62 'to 65 degrees as a' maximum on clear days, should be main- tained. C. W. ROOT-KNOT ON POT PLANTS. What is the cause of root-knot on be- gonias and petunias? How can it be prevented and cured? S. B. I have not experienced any of this trouble on begonias and petunias. If you could use sterilized soil when pot- ting, it should disappear. By using lime and soot, especially the latter, the; trouble should be minimized. C. W. ac ac ac ac f SEASONABLE s^ \ \ 9^ SUGGESTIONS \ ac ac Mignonette. The second and third sowings of mignonette are now giving some splen- did spikes, and, while hot weather holds off, the quality will hold good. Keep the temperature down at night; 40 to 42 degrees is sufficiently warm, but on many nights this winter the outside temperature has exceeded these figures, so all we can do is to keep them as cool as possible. If you have a really good strain, it will pay to select one or two of the finest spikes for seed, as there is great variation in the seed sold. Even the highest priced will produce many comparatively worthless flowers. Once a fine stem carrying large flowers, light in color, with the flowers closely set on the spikes, is secured, it will pay to hold on to it. The beds will now dry out much fast- er and, as mignonette loves to have its roots cool and moist, care should be taken that the soil does not get into a dry condition. A mulch of old manure spread between the rows will keep the surface soil moist and less watering will be needed. Plants just coming into flower should have liquid manure once a week. Do not use chemical fer- tilizers; cow or sheep manure liquid i& the best. Palms. Before the real spring rush starts, a few days should be allowed for over- hauling palms. Some may need repot- ting or retubbing, while others will re- quire only a top-dressing. Add some 14 -inch bone to the soil where retubbing will not be needed again for several years. Bone meal can be added where a couple of years will elapse before plants are to be repotted again. A good fibrous loam, sharp sand and one-fourth of old and well decayed manure make* a suitable soil for kentias, arecas, lata- nias and phoenix. The weaker growing Cocos Weddelliana, which makes com- paratively few roots, does better in loam, with sand and some leaf-mold added where the loam is heavy and retentive. Any sponging required should now be done. Many plants can be cleaned with cold water alone, but where scale exists, the leave"^ should be treated with Aphine, fir tree oil, or some other in- secticide. MABCH 6, 1913. The Florists^ Review 31 Ectablishment of B. Lipman, Columbia City, Ind. LIPMAN'S SUCCESS. To the general public Indiana is known as the birthplace of poets, just as Ohio is known as the birthplace of presidents, but in the trade the Hoosier State has its renown as the home of successful florists. Since taking possession of the D. C. Noble place at Columbia City, Ind., B. Lipman has done splendidly. Before removing to Indiana Mr. Lipman was employed at a number of well-known eastern establishments, among them the Floral Exchange, Edgely, Pa.; 8. J. Reuter & Son, Westerly, E. I.; L. A. Noe, Madison, N. J.; J.' J. Habermehl's Sons, Philadelphia, and D. B. Edwards, Atlantic City, N. J. When he followed the star of empire on its westward way he located with the South Park Floral Co., at New Castle, Ind. This was in October, 1904. For two years he was a grower of roses there, and then he transferred to the shipping department, where he remained until April 29, 1911. He took possession of the Noble estab- lishment May 1 of that year, having made a lease for ten years. The place at that time was devoted entirely to carnations. Mr. Lipman dropped a part of the carnations to make space for Killarney, White Killarney, Bride and Richmond, with a few Beauties to test the growing qualities of the soil. Let him tell the rest of it: "I found that this was a good loca- tion and that a good paying business could be built up here. I therefore de- cided to purchase the plant, instead of continuing with my lease. This I did, taking over the Northside Greenhouse April 1, 1912. I have been successful in the rose growing line up to the present, inis season I am growing 2,000 iJeauties, with which I have had good success, having had a continuous cut and producing some fine flowers. My place consists of six houses 21x150, one house 14x72 and one house 10x50, nf ^ ^ith the following: One house n^i ^x^n*'^^' *^'"ee houses of Killarney and White Killarney; 500 Brides and ooZf f^^ations. I have been so suc- rWi^"!,T*^' the Beauties that I have o^virn *'' add two houses this spring, r, nnn T^^'*'^^' ^^^^^^ I '"tend to fill with pS .T'i*^ P^^°t«- My stock is dis- iia? w*> E. G.

"The picture represents a part of the stock shipped out for the holiday trade and contains 5,000 blooms; we shipped in all 15,000 blooms for the Christmas trade." The other picture is the ex- terior view of the plant. ASTERS FOR INSIDE CULTURE. If we plant, in benches under glass, Queen of the Market aster plants from 214-inch pots, April 15, "when will they be in crop for cut flowers? Is it bet- ter to grow them to a single flower per plant or several to a plant, as in out- door growing? If grown several flow- ers to a plant, what will be a safe aver- age number of high-grade flowers per plant? If grown to a single bloom per plant, how closely should the plants be set or spaced? W. G. Queen of the Market asters planted in benches about the middle of April should give a few flowers by the middle of June, and will continue flowering for quite a number of weeks. It will not pay you to grow these to a single bloom per plant. They do not come very dou- ble, like the Coojut*) Victorias and Vick's branching varieties. Most of the grower* of asters who plant inside allow all the flowers to develop, having use for even the shortest-stemmed ones for funeral work. Queen of the Market is a wonderfully prolific aster, and I would suggest taking out the first ter- minal flower and then allowing the ter- minals on all side shoots to develop, rubbing off any side buds which appear. This will give you nice, salable flowers. I have had g«|od results by setting the plants eight inches apart in the rows and running the rows twelve inches apart. If you should decide to grow, say, only four to six flowers per plant, the rows could be as close as nine inches. If only one flower per plant is desired, six by six inches will be sufficient, but you will find the me- dium flowers are more desirable. Use a compost such as will grow good carna- tions or mums, and treat similarly to mums. C. W. CORNFLOWERS FOR MAY 30. Will you kindly tell me the best way to grow the double blue cornflowers out- doors, to come in right for Decoration day here, in southern New Jersey? I grew these in pots last year, from seed- lings started in the fall, but they damped off in the field. They were cool grown, so I cannot understand it. I thought of sowing the seed outdoors and thinning out. If this is advisable, when is the best time to sow the seed? H. K. Sow the seeds at once in 3-inch pots. Thin the seedlings out to three in each pot. Start in a moderately cool house, kept at 45 to 48 degrees at night. The little plants should be gradually hard- ened off and planted out by April 10 in well manured ground, where the cul- tivator should be frequently plied among them. Whether these cornflowers will give a heavy crop for Memorial day outdoors will depend much, of course, on the season. The seed can be sown outdoors just as soon as frost has left the ground and the soil has sufficiently dried. With you this should be possible toward the end of March, possiblv a little earlier. C. W. B. Lipman's Cut, December 21, 1912. The Florists' Review Mabch 6, 1913. HABDY EVEBBLOOMING BOSES. I should like to get the names of some roses that are everblooming, that can be cut from summer until frost out- side and that will winter in the ground without injury in this Pennsylvania climate. G. E. S. The hybrid tea class will be the most useful for you. These are not quite so hardy as the hybrid perpetuals, but are more persistent bloomers. A few good varieties to plant are: Gruss an Tep- litz, bright crimson; Radiance, cerise pink; Dark Pink Killarney; White Kil- larney; Mme. Caroline Testout, satiny rose; Mme. Abel Chatenay, carmine rose, shaded salmon; Mme. Eavary, deep yellow; Viscountess Folkestone, creamy pink; Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, white, tinted lemon; Konigin Carola, satiny rose. If your minimum winter temperature falls much below zero, it is safer to lift and bury these roses, replanting them each spring as soon as the ground is open. In less severe weather, if earthed up and protected with straw they will winter saftely. Among the more persistent flowering hybrid perpetuals, Frau Karl Druschki, white; Mrs. R. G. Sharman-Crawford, rosy pink, and Mrs. John Laing, satiny pink, are a good trio. One or two other roses you should plant are: Clothilde Soupert, white, shaded pink, and Maman Cochet, both white and pink va- rieties. These latter are teas and are better heeled in a coldframe over win- ter. Hermosa, pale pink, is also useful for cutting. C. W. ROSES FOB MEMORIAL DAY. We are desirous of getting a quantity of pot roses in bloom for Memorial day. Can you inform us how they should be handled in order to get them in? The varieties are baby ramblers, Magna Charta, Mrs. Cutbush, Ulrich Brunner and Frau Karl Druschki. J. C. None of the roses named will need much forcing to flower them for Me- morial day. If not already potted, see that they are got in readiness at once. Of course, if they were potted late in the fall, they will do all the better for it. Keep them in a cold cellar or pit, as near the freezing point as possible. They will start to grow quickly if given any warmth -at all. The hybrid perpetuals should be pruned back quite hard. Leave three to four eyes on the stronpost shoots and one or two on weaker ones. The baby ramblers need merely to have weak and dead wood re- moved and the end of the shoots headed back a little. The roses will not. require a warm house to flower them 4Bv Memorial day. If placed in a greenhouse, kept at 45 degrees at night the • first week in April and 5 degrees warmer when started, they will be on time. If they seem a trifle early, hold them back in a cold house when opening, and any that seem backward can be given a lit- tle more heat. C. W. FOB BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. What roses that are used for green- house planting can also be satisfactorily grown outside for cut flowers, in this Pennsylvania climate, and how should they be handled? G. R. S. Such varieties as Killarney, White Killarney, Killarney Queen, Richmond, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, Mme. Abel Chatenay, Radiance and My Maryland flower well outdoors, in addition to being good greenhouse roses. Grafted plants, as a rule, are supe- rior to own-root stock outdoors, and field-grown stock is preferable to small plants in pots, although the latter, if in 3-inch to 4-inch pots, do quite well. I have sometimes seen good results ob- tained by heading back stock which was cleaned out of the houses in April, and planting the same outside. The hybrid teas and teas prefer a well manured soil, but a lighter soil than the hybrid perpetuals. Plant so that the grafts are covered two to three inches. Be sure the roots are moist, >and firm the soil thoroughly about them. A mnlch of old m,aiiure in summer is ^beneficial, and if water can be supplied during dry periods the plants will be much benefited. C. W. PLANTING AND TBAINING SMILAX Will you give me some instructions with regard to smilax? How many plants should grow from one ounce of seed? How far apart should they be planted in the beds, for best results? How many vines should be allowed to twine on each string, in order to pro- duce the best possible strings? Some strings that one sees are too matted and bunchy looking. M. T. It is not easy to say how marly plants of smilax one should get from one ounce of seed, as much would depend on the condition of the seed and also on the way in which it might be treated. Seeds sown now ought to produce plants of good size for planting next July, when they should be planted in the bed in rows ten inches apart, the plants being spaced eight inches apart in the rows. All the strong shoots these young plants will produce may be trained up one string, and will be none too large for the average market. W. H. T. DISEASED GEBANIUM FOLIAGE. Will you kindly tell us what is the disease on the enclosed geranium leaves, and also state what is the remedy for it? J. K. & S. This is a common disease on geraniums under glass, and also makes its appear- ance outdoors during spells of hot, moist and sunless weather. If your plants are badly affected I would discard the worst, pick the affected foliage from the others and spread them out so that the foliage of each plant will just clear that of its neighbor. Use care in watering; a com- mon mistake is made in overwatering geraniums. If kept constantly moist they make a soft, sappy growth, which is more susceptible to disease than when the plants are allowed to become fairly dry between the waterings. This latter method hardens the growth, toughens the leaves and makes the plants more disease-proof. Do not play the hose on your plants. A wetting over may make them look nice and fresh, but helps to breed this leaf disease. Clean the plants frequent- ly, giving them a fresh stand, so that they will not become crowded. Let the night temperature run from 45 to 50 degrees, not over the latter figure. Never use any shade on the glass; the plants want all the sun they can get. Ventilate at every possible opportunity; geraniums love plenty of fresh air. When propa- gating, do not leave the cuttings in the sand any longer than is absolutely neces- sary after they are rooted. Weakened constitutions may be often traced to too long a stay in the sand. Do not become discouraged. A little rational treatment will clean out this disease. C. W. Ansonia, Conn. — Frank L. Hotchkiss, who recently sold his greenhouses on Wakelee avenue to the Ansonia Floral Co., has gone to California, in com- pany with Mrs. Hotchkiss. They ex- pect to remain in California for several months. March 0, 1913. The Florists' Review 33 Rose Growing Establishment of McAIpiae Bros., at Ezeter» N. H. McALPINE BROS. Among the best known of the more recent additions to the ranks of New England rose growers are McAlpine Bros., of Exeter, N. H. After care- fully studying the rose growing situa- tion for some time, as well as the gen- eral features and market conditions in and around Boston, W. A. and George F. McAlpine decided to erect one large rose house as a good business invest- mfsnt. Suitable land was procured at Exeter, N. H., where there is a gocl soil for roses, as well as a pure atmosr phere, and a Lord & Burnham house, 60x400, was erected and planted in the summer of 1911. The brothers, in order to achieve the best results, decided to divide their labors. William A., who had had some years- of experience as salesman for William H. Elliott, his uncle, and for the J. A. Budlong & Son Co., of Auburu, K. I., decided that he was best fitted to attend to the firm's interests at the selling end, in the Boston Flower Ex change, while his brother, George F., who had spent some years at W, H, Elliott's big Madbury establishment as foreman and achieved marked success there, took charge of the growing tnd, at Exeter. The new firm's name, Mc- Alpine Bros., New England Rose Con- servatories, Exeter, N. H., soon became known in flower growing circles. The first year the young firm achieved such success that their roses were eagerly sought after by the most critical buyers, and it was therefore de- cided to erect another Lord & Burnham house, 60x400, early in 1912. This was planted the same season and the prod- ucts of the two houses are of such qual- ity that they are already known beyond the confines of New England. No time or space has been wasted by experimenting on new and untried sorts, only such as the public demands being grown. The varieties raised are: American Beauty, Killarney and White Killarney, Killarney Queen, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Lady Hillingdon and Richmond. The Richmonds grown at Exeter have caused many a gasp of astonishment this season, both in New York and Bos- ton— stems up to seventy-two inches in length and flowers of marvelous size and substance. Other roses are equally well grown, leaving no doubt that this young and progressive firm has made good and is in the field to stay. W. N. Craig. WITH NEAR-BOSTON GROWERS. The new carnation house of Wm. R. Nicholson, at Framingham, Mass., Lord & Burnham construction, is a grand sight, feeing a veritable sheet of flow- ers and buds. All the other carnation houses are in good crop also. Beacon has, of late, burst heavily, the first year it has done so. A small batch of Commodore looked well, and this will be largely planted next season. Whit© Wonder and White Enchantress are fine, with not much choice between them. Benora is splendid. Pocahontas is a big fancy crimson, now giving a great crop. Pink Delight has the field to itself in its particular color, and Gloriosa is do- ing splendidly. Golden Ray is bloom- ing profusely, but is rather small, and two new yellows will be substituted for it next season. Some promising seed- lings were noted in one house. Mignon- ette as grown here is grand; probably none better is to be found in the coun- try. Several houses are devoted to yel- low marguerites, mostly old veterans with gnarled stems. Grown in large pots which were partially plunged, they are giving some fine flowers. Shant- rocks in small pans were well grown. Freesias are also grown here in quan- tity. The Godfrey calla is a wonderful bloomer as growii.here, as many as six flowers being open on one 8-inch pot. Mr. Nicholson has plans laid for a big carnation house for 1914, dimensions to be 80x450. This house will accommo- date 35,000 plants. S. J. Goddard, South Framingham, Interior of One of the Rose Houses of McAlpine Bros., Exeter, N. H. 34 The Florists' Review Mabcii 6, 1913. Mass., has severai . fine houses of car- nations, his most recent house, of King construction, being in particularly good shape. In whites he prefers White Per- fection to White Wonder, and will grow less of the latter next season. Rosette was carrying some excellent flowers and St. Nicholas was in fine crop. Beacon has hardly burst at all. Benora here was fine, as, indeed, it is everywhere. Helen Goddard still is grown in quan- tity; nothing superior of its shade has yet appeared. The old Harry Fenn will have to make way for the larger new varieties, but there have been few greater money-makers than this good old crimson. Pink Delight and Glo- riosa both looked well, and are leaders in their respective shades. Lady North- -cliffe, an English variety similar to Pink Delight, seems to be a free bloomer. A bright crimson seedling, No. 59, raised by Dorner, looked well and will be more heavily planted next season. Begonia Gloire de Chatelaine is grown in quantity and is equally good as a pot plant or bedder, flower- ing the whole year. A good assortment of plants for retail trade is grown. The business steadily increasing, a King construction house 10x131 will be built this season, for small pot plants. Orchids at J. T. Butterworth 's. South Framingham, never looked so well. It is not necessary for Mr. Butterworth to be continually importing, as he has the faculty of keeping his cattleyas in good health indefinitely, and increas- ing them also. Some baskets of Cat- tleya Triana?, carrying twenty-five flow- ers each, were fine. All the other cat- tleyas, such as gigas, Schrcedera?, Mos- siffi and labiata, were in grand health, and some of the specimen plants were immense. One basket of Laslia anceps carried twenty spikes, and there were others almost equally good. Specimens of Cymbidium Sanderi (insigne) carry- ing spikes six feet high, with eleven to thirteen flowers each, were the flnest 1 had seen. Dendrobiums, Miltonia vexil- laria, cypripediums, vandas and other orchids all looked much at home. Mr. Butterworth does not believe in feed- ing orchids. He uses fern fiber exclu- sively in potting or basketing, and is careful to make the compost fine. Dutch bulbs are grown here in quantity. Lily of the valley is well done. In the car- nation houses Gloriosa, W^insor, White Wonder, Beacon and Pink Delight are grown. At Robert Montgomery's, at Natick, roses are the specialty, all the glass be- ing devoted to them except one house, which is occupied bv Easter lilies and young rose stock and was earlier planted with chrysanthemums. The roses grown are Killarney. W'hite Killarney, Richmond and Mrs. Ward, all being the picture of health. All flowers grown here are sold at the Boston Cooperative Market. One new rose house 30x200 will be built here the coming season. As a side issue, Mr. Montgomery has an aviary of considerable size. Pheasants, Golden Silver, Lady Amherst and Eng- lish, are his special favorites. .Tames Wheeler is located close to Robert Montgomery in Natick. He is one of the newest but most successful of growers for the Boston market. Car- nations are his specialty and they are well grown. Benora, as elsewhere, looked superb. W^hite Wonder, White Enchantress and White Perfection are all grown in quantity and it was hard to say which was best. In production to date White Enchantress is in the lead. Beacon hardly showed a burst flower. Pink Delight and Gloriosa were each good. A large bed of yellow marguer- ites, propagated last summer and fall, and now over four feet high, were flow- ering freely and rather knocked the theory that it is necessary to carry over old plants each season. Pink and yellow snapdragons looked first-class. Mignonette, gladioli and Coelogyne cris- tata also are grown. Mr. Wheeler has built himself a fine stone bungalow and is comfortably located. His flowers go via electric express on the Boston and Worcester street railroad each day and are sold at the Boston Cooperative Market. W. N. Craig. VARIEGATED VINCA. Will you kindly answer the follow- ing through the columns of The Re- view? When is the proper time to lift variegated vinca from the field to put under glass to force for spring sales? Can they be taken from the field and put under glass at once, or is it advisable to put them in a cellar for a while and thus avoid a sudden change? I have a number of plants in the field and would be grateful to you for any light on the subject. W, B. This popular plant should be lifted not later than October, potted and placed at once in a greenhouse. Along the edges of benches is often found a convenient place for them. If your plants are still alive I would suggest lifting and potting them at once. They will soon make a crop of cuttings suit- able for propagating purposes. These, rubbed off with a heel, root quickly, but pieces of mature wood also will root. They do not need a warm house to root in. One such as is used for car- nations is all right. C. W. NEW YOEK. The Market. Another week of extreme dullness has been added to Lent. During the last few days the spring-like weather seemed to give a little impetus to business and redeemed the week from making a rec- ord for dullness. Beauties suddenly de- veloped a scarcity, which caused an advance in quotations to 7.5 cents to $1 for specials. It was only in the higher grades that this scarcity was noticeable. Shorts with imperfect flowers were plentiful at 2 cents to 4 cents, although good blooms brought up to 6 cents. Brides, Maids and Killarneys were in full supply at 2 cents to 6 cents, al- though choice blooms brought as much as 8 cents. The specialties have been quiet, although choice Richmonds have been in somewhat better demand as substitutes for Beauties. The yellow roses have been in better supply. Cat- tleyas continue in plentiful supply at 12 cents to ."30 cents, according to qual- ity. Easter lilies share with Beauties in being the only firm flowers on the market, ranging from 8 cents to 10 cents. Valley is weak, at $1 to $2.50 per hundred, the supply of shorts being excessive. Gardenias are dull and lower at 50 cents to $2 per dozen. Sweet peas have slumped to 10 cents a dozen bunches for shorts, although choice long-stemmed peas bring as much as $1. Violets lead the list in' weakness, at ]0 cents to 40 cents, with practically no demand at all. Paper Whites are plentiful at 75 cents and up. Callas hold their own at 60 cents to $1.25 per dozen. Lilies have declined to 20 cents to 50 cents, with few buy- ers at the decline. Tulips are plentiful at 50 cents to $1. Freesias go begging at 5 cents to 15 cents per bunch. Bulb stock generally is in full supply. There is a steady growth in the supplies of old-fashioned flowers, such as wall: flowers, stocks, etc., which are gaining in popular favor. Pansies are coming in freely and fine flowers are offered at 15 cents per dozen bunches. Ama- ryllis brings 20 cents per flower. Various Notes. J. Austin Shaw, manager of the New York office of The Review, has been ill at the Seney hospital, Brooklyn, since February 14. For the first week of his illness Mr. Shaw was delirious and his death was momentarily expected. His fever and delirium have passed, how- ever, leaving him weak but on the road to recovery. In fact, unless some un- foreseen complication develops he will probably be able to leave the hospital for his home within a week. During his illness he has been remembered by many of his friends in the trade, his room at the hospital being at times filled with flowers. Communications sent to his residence either by mail or telephone have prompt attention from his assistant. The eight directors were present at the regular monthly meeting of the New York Cut Flower Exchange, which was held at the Queens Plaza Court, under the presidency of John Donald- son. Only routine business was trans- acted. Wm. Elliott & Sons will appropri- ately celebrate St. Patrick's day by their opening auction of evergreens, rhododendrons, etc. The New York Flower Auction Co., 146 West Twenty-eighth street, seems to have discontinued business, as the store bears a " To Let ' ' sign. 'The busi- ness opened last fall, with John Cleary as auctioneer. .Tohn Young, secretary of the Society of American Florists and of the New York Florists' Club, was taken to Roosevelt hospital February 23 and operated on for carbuncle on the neck. He is doing well and expects to be out again before long. His friends in the trade have been kind in sending flow- ers, so many being sent that all the patients have been able to share in Mr. Young's enjoyment of them. George J. Gould has added three large houses to his private range at Castle Gould, Lakewood, N. J. The MacNiff Horticultural Co., like Woodrow Wilson, had an inauguration March 4. when it held the inaugural sale of its extensive new building on Vesey street. The date was two weeks earlier than the usual opening time for auction sales, due to the mild season in Holland, which has justified earlier shipment of stock. C. C. Trepel has opened another branch, at the store of Simpson, Craw- ford & Co., on Sixth avenue. He now has stores at Gimbel's and Blooming- dale's in New York and at Lozier's, at the Blossom, opposite Lozier's, and at Gates and Bedford avenues, Brooklyn. Joseph Trepel has opened his third store on Broadway, Brooklyn, near Butterman's. W^ith his stores at Lewis Mabch «, 1913. The Florists^ Review 35 avenue and in the Greenpoint section, this makes five stores which he oper- ates. The two brothers between them get rid of large quantities of flowers and their visits to the wholesale mar- ket are welcome, as they frequently clear out surplus stock in a most re- freshing manner. At the February meeting of the New York Florists' Club A. S. Burns, Jr., of Spring Valley, N. Y., showed a new seedling carnation named Electra, which was given eighty-six points by the judges. In reporting this fact in the issue of February 13, through a tele- grapher's error credit was given to Mr. McKnight, who exhibited some other flowers, for producing Electra. The committee undoubtedly will award Mr. Burns a certificate as soon as they liave an opportunity of visiting his greenhouses to see the growing plants. The seedsmen are all busy and agree in saying that more greenhouses are being built than ever before at this season. The Henry M. Kobinson Co. says sales on the new rose, Mrs. Charles Kussell, which is a debutante of this season, have held up remarkably well in a season of dullness. The Miss Helen Taft is another specialty that sells well. The old Broadway Central hotel has been overrun with Hollanders who are over here selling Dutch bulbs, ever- greens, etc. In response to a call issued by Mrs. F. H. Traendly, a meeting of the Ladies' Committee of the New York Florists' Club was held at the Wood- stock hotel February 28. About twenty ladies were present. Charles B. Weath- ered, chairman of the entertainment committee, also was present to aid in the organization of the committee. Mrs. Traendly was elected chairman, Mrs. Julius Koehrs, Jr., secretary, and Mrs. Joseph Manda treasurer. After a general discussion, subcommittees were appointed to care for different phases of the entertainment in connection with the approaching flower show. C. A. M. Wertheimer Bros, report an unprece- dented demand for Easter novelties. Will the bill introduced at Albany, if "„^®<^omes a law, regulate the operations ot those selling cut flowers and plants on commission as well as those selling vege- tables and fruits? It is a question that IS interesting some of the wholesalers. MINNEAPOLIS. The Market. Business continues as good as could ^e expected during Lent.

Publicity Work. Minneapolis florists have not made as much noise in the trade as have some others, but the cooperative adver- tising now being tried in other cities has been in use here for some time. The first attempt was made at Mothers' day in 1912, as the result of an article in The Review that pointed out the way. It was so successful that it has since been repeated, and will be con- tinued. The last effort was for St. Valentine's day, February 14, when a committee of which C. N. Ruedlinger is chairman raised $130 by subscrip- tion and published some attractive de- signed advertisements in the leading papers, also securing some well writ- ten news articles on the increasing use of flowers as valentines. No names appeared in the advertisements. Dinner to S. A. F. Directors. The directors of the S. A. F. held a two days' meeting here February 25 and 26, in preparation for the conven- tion next August. The work was put through with expedition and the plans of the Convention Association of Min- neapolis, recently organized ■ by the florists, were approved. Wednesday evening, February 26, the officials were tendered a dinner by the local mem- bers, at the Hotel Eadisson. The visit- ors present were: President J. K. M. L. Farquhar, Boston; Treasurer W. F. Kasting, Buffalo; Ex-president Eichard Vincent, White Marsh, Md., and the following directors: A. F. Poehlmann, Morton Grove, 111.; Thos. Roland, Nahant, Mass.; E. A. Peirce, Waltham, Mass.; H. A. Bunyard, New York; C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., and J. A. Evans, Richmond, Ind.; also George Asmus, who was acting as secretary in place of John Young, who was ill in New York, and A. F. Longren and H. Nicholson, of Chicago. The Twin City florists who were present were: Theo- dore Wirth, Wm. N. Steel, C. N. Rued- linger, C. A. Bossen, Louis Boeglin, S. D. Dysinger, 0. J. Olson, E. P. Holm, L. L. May, Hugh Will, A. S. Rice, Henry Will, O. C. Swanson, G. A. Will, C. F. Rice, Fred Busch, A. Klinker- berry, J. A. Ridgway, T. Commandros, Louis Dancik, L. G. Boughner, L. F. Nordeen, M.

H. Bofferding. The dinner was a most enjoyable affair in all its features. Most of the visitors were called on for remarks and in addition most of the Twin City leaders had something to say that showed- how enthusiastically the ap- proaching convention is regarded here. H. South Orange, N. J. — Joseph Manda, recognized as one of our best orchid experts, regrets that the value of space compels him to relinquish the growing of many beautiful varieties and confine himself to commercial or everyday kinds. His fine collection embraces On- cidium splendidum, Cattleya Dowiana and C. Gaskelliana. Among the latter were eleven imported plants, one of which flowered pure white and was sold recently for $150. OBITUAEY. Henry Behder. Henry Rehder, father of Will Rehder, the florist of Wilmington, N. C, died February 22, after a brief illness. He was in his eightieth year. An especially sad circumstance connected with his death was the fact that his wife, who had been his constant companion and helpmate for many years, was also on a bed of illness and was in too serious a condition to be told any of the sad news about her husband. Though Mr, Rehder had retired from active business, he continued to assist his son until a few days before his death. He was born in the little town of Vegesack, Germany. He came to America when a young man, and lo- cated first in New York city, but soon removed to Wilmington. When he ar- rived the agitation preceding the Civil war was in progress and he took up the cause of the people of his chosen home, serving through the four years of the war as a member of the German Volunteers. During the reconstruction period he returned to Wilmington, where he was married and began to build up business and recover from the losses he had sustained. While never a rich man, he was one of the well-to-do business men of the city. He had four sons, John H., C. F., Will and Carl B. Rehder, all of whom still reside in Wilmington. Funeral services were held at the home, 819 Red Cross street, and later at St. Paul's Lutheran church, of which Mr. Rehder was the oldest mem- ber. Among the numerous floral offer- ings were designs from Raleigh and Greensboro, N. C, and from Washing- ton, D. C. William Blacker. William Blacker, of Clearfield, Pa., died February 21. He was born in Bristol, August '22, 1855, left England in 1880 and came to Houtzdale, where he re- mained until about fourteen years ago, when he removed to Clearfield. Mr. Blacker was a local preacher in the Prim- itive Methodist church until a few years ago, when he had to give up the work on account of his health. He then started in the florists ' business in Houtzdale. Shortly after he returned to Clearfield and became superintendent of Hillcrest cemetery. He also erected seven green- houses and was regarded as one of the most successful florists in that part of the state. He is survived by his wife, one son and five daughters. Peter Morscheiser. Peter Morscheiser, aged 75 years, for many years a florist in La Salle, 111., died February 24. He had been aUing only a week and had been seriously ill only for two days. Pneumonia was the cause of death. Elijah Cottingham. Elijah Cottingham, of New Castle, Ind., died February 20, aged 41 years. He is survived by a wife and his par- ents. James A. Hovey. From Newton Highlands, Mass., comes word of the death there last week of James A. Hovey, for several years in charge of the seed department of the George A. Weaver Co., New- port, R.

The Eeview brings results. Azaleas will not be abundant this Easter. Shipments now may be made C. O. D. by parcel post. The collection, return charge and insurance are to be prepaid by affixing 10 cents in parcel post stamps. This is not the special number of The Be view; this 132-page issue is all in the day's work. The Easter Number comes out next week. It promises to set an- other new mark for trade journalism in this field. The fall show at Cleveland was so suc- cessful that the Ohio Horticultural So- ciety announces a spring exhibition June 12 to 14, to be held at Gray's armory. Copies of the premium list may be had by addressing John N. Stockwell, 218 City Hall, Cleveland. For the last few weeks there has been an exasperating increase in the com- plaints of the non-arrival of The Review. The cause has not yet been found. The papers are mailed regularly every Thursday; they should be delivered as unfailingly. It will be considered a fa- vor if subscribers will write any time the paper has not arrived forty-eight hours after the usual hour of delivery. Your package by mail will get spe- cial delivery, just like a letter, if, in ad- dition to the parcel post stamps, you put on the 10-cent special delivery stamp or aflBx 10 cents of ordinary postage stamps, marking the package "For Special Delivery." It is an ex- tension of the parcel post service that should be the means of largely increas- ing its value to retail florists. BUSINESS EMBABRA.8SMENTS. Albuquerque, N. M. — The judge of the district court has issued an order for the sale of the property of the Albuquerque Floral Co. A receiver for the company was appointed a short time ago, as reported in The Review of February 20. The property for the most part is plants and shrubs that require constant attention, according to the petition for a sale, and to con- duct the business on a paying basis it would be necessary to replenish the stock of flowers and make repairs on ihe buildings. Sufficient funds for this work are not at hand, so the judge or- dered the receiver to sell the property at public or private sale. Fort Wayne, Ind. — J. E. Hauswirth, formerly of Chicago, has filed a petition in bankruptcy here, scheduling liabili- ties of $3,769.85 and assets of $237. AGAIN THE RECORD. The classified ads still increase — each week since January 1 there has been a handsome increase in these busy little liners in spite of the fact that a good many stay only a few insertions, like this: Discontinue the geranium advertisement for the present; It has done great work for me. — H. M. Totman, Randolph, Vt., February 23, 1913. Or is it because of such letters as the above that the department grows? At any rate, last week's issue con- tained thirty-seven columns of classi- fied plant advertisements, practically all sent in unsolicited by advertisers who had tried them before with good results; in fact, a good many florists now grow stock specially to wholesale through the use of these liners. It makes possi- ble a neat increase in a prosperous local business. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. Business has continued to improvQ during the last week, as it usually does as Lent draws out of the first half. There has been an abundance of stock of every kind, but it has been possible to clean out most of it at a price, so that the waste has been slight. The special feature of the market has been the small supply of strictly first- class Beauties, the large supply and not too brisk demand for sweet peas, and the overwhelming arrivals of violets, with no possibility of selling them all at any price. Violets never have sold in the last week in February so cheaply as they did this year. There appears to be no explanation except increased supply and decreased popularity. The singles have been blooming prodigiously and the New York growers evidently find the Chicago market one of their best, even if it is lower than ever be- fore at this time of year. There are heavy supplies of sweet peas of all grades. The best bring as much as $2 per hundred, while it is difficult to clear the shortest peas at 30 cents per hundred. In fact, the supply of all grades is so large that the buyer who will take a quantity can get a conces- sion on almost any grade or color. If a buyer needed 100 long-stemmed Beauties, every one perfect, he would have trouble finding them; indeed, to get a dozen perfect flowers of one March <'>• 1013. The Florists^ Review 37 ■■i" ••">•!

Fbone 2905 Randolph length is not easy at present, but the growers say the new crop will alter this unfavorable state of affairs and that good Beauties soon will be abun- dant again. Other roses are in good supply and of first-class color. Kich- mond is so fine that many are using it instead of Beauties. ^ " i Carnations continue to come in heavily but they are making rather better prices, perhaps because the quality has im- proved. There still are more splits than usual, just why nobody can tell, but the average quality of the stock is excellent. Lilies are more abu?^dant; evidently some of the crops are early. Callas also are coming in freely. Tu- lips are not so abundant as they were, although there has been little change in prices. Paper Whites are no longer a burden and few Romans are seen. There are moderate quantities of jon- quils and daffodils, but no cumbersome surplus. Freesia is about over. A few stocks, a little mignonette and some good antirrhinum are seen. Valley con- tinues in abundant supply; there are now so many forcers that any -short- age is due to unforeseen demand. ^ The situation in ferns is beconmg^ interesting. Just at a time when the market ordinarily advances, some of the wholesalers are offering ferns below present cost at first hands and there seems to be a disposition td start some- thing that may not be profitably fin- ished.

He says they are getting better prices for carnations than last year and that the sweet peas return more money because of better quality. Kyle & Foerster say that Lent is comparing well with last year. Zech & Mann report satisfaction with present conditions. John Kruchten says his crops are now pretty well off, but that he expects good cuts for Easter. The February weather was almost ex- actly normal, except in the matter of sunshine, of which there was nearly thirty per cent more than usual in the month. The average was seven hours per day, which is sixty-six per cent of the possible, with fifty per cent the usual record for February. Phil Schupp, manager of J. A. Bud- long's, reports that Beauties are show- ing a tendency to improve with better weather conditions. Valley is more in demand than is usual during Lent, which, according to Mr. Schupp, must be due to increased popularity of cor- sage bouquets.

He will grow pot plants, looking to the market for cut flowers, as he antici- pates working up a nice retail trade. John F. Kidwell, president of the Chicago Flower Growers' Association, says a large number of advance Easter orders were on file March 3 and he be- lieves that the out-of-town retailers are realizing the importance of getting their orders in early. Friends of H. H. Wilkerson, man- ager for Henry Wittbold, have been offering congratulations, the occasion being a son, born March 3. Papa Wil- kerson says both mother and son are doing well. John Ganger, of Ganger & Bergman, is again free to pay his undivided at- tention to business cares, after a term of jury service. Mr. Ganger says trade has kept a good pace and he believes rc» moval to the Michigan avenue location has more than doubled the business. Erne & Klingel have found a steady increase in shipping orders lately and, ^with Easter approaching, Mr. Erne figures on record-breaking business. The Bohannon Floral Co. has had a good run of business and, while table decorations have fallen off somewhat, there has been a good sale for bulbous stock, both cut and in pans. Orchids are popular with this store's trade and 42 The Florists' Review Mabch 6, 1918. Mr. Bohannon says it lias more than paid him to push these and single vio- lets— doubles are not handled. Bassett & Washburn say that their average daily cut of carnations for the last ten days has been around 15,000. John Mangel says Lent has not cut down the business as he anticipated and for the last two weeks his staff has found plenty of work. Funeral pieces have been especially numerous and this class of work has helped considerably in holding up the volume of sales. A. L. Yaughan states that while or- ders are more numerous than last year at this time, the footings on the indi- vidual orders do not figure so high, owing to the advanced prices of last winter, due to the extreme weather that caused prices to hold firm. Lubliner & Trinz have not yet se- cured a new location to take the place of their present headquarters on Ran- dolph street. Mr. Trinz announces that their new Chicago theater, on Forty- seventh street, is nearing completion and will be , opened soon. A second theater is in process of construction on Central Park avenue, while the site for a third is being considered. James H. Burdett, whom many florists know as press agent for the flower shows, ex-secretary of the Horticultural Society of Chicago, is now a member of the state civil service commission. His was the first appointment made by the new governor. Paul Blome, 1361 North Clark street, has found considerable business in the way of table decorations and reports trade has held up beyond expectations for Lent. An ^der has been placed with Buchbinder Bros, for one of the new model Buchbinder refrigerators, which, it is hoped, will be ready in time for Easter. Frank Oechslin has been forced to discontinue all shipping business on Easter stock, on account of the heavy local demand. A walk through his establishment explains why business is so rushing, as everything is in apple-pie order and the stock in the best of con- dition. The Geo. Wittbold Co. has put a new Autocar into commission. Tt has a carrying capacity of one and one-half tons and will be used for light delivery purposes in the city. J. W. Davis, of Davenport, la., was in town February 28, with Mrs. Davis, on their way home from a three weeks ' outing in Florida. Mr. Davis is the controlling factor in the model plant of the trans-Mississippi section. He has been picking 20,000 sweet peas a day from one house, shipping them to the A. L. Randall Co. Mrs. K. N. Cooper, manager of the Auburn dale Goldfish Co., seems to be getting more than her share of hard luck since the first of the year. The latter part of December Mrs. Cooper fell on an icy walk and she has not yet recovered from the shock. She has been confined to her home on this ac- count for the last six weeks. As re- ported in The Review, her establish- ment was recentUy burglarized, and on top of all this the mysterious death of a young colored woman, employed by her, is causing Mrs. Cooper consider- able worry.

The Lenten season as yet seems to be almost forgotten and business is as good as could be expected in such cold, uncertain weather. The wholesalers are short on everything. Roses are com- ing into crop again, after a shortage which has continued for five weeks. The Killarneys and Richmonds will be ex- ceptionally fine for Easter, and the Beauties are of splendid quality. Bulb- ous stock is arriving in larger quanti- ties, but is only bringing a fair price. Yellow seems to take the lead in the color of bulbous stock, especially in daffodils. Sweet peas have improved in quality and increased in quantity, but do not seem to move fast. Carnations have advanced a little in price, and they also show a marked improvement in quality. Sprengeri and adiantums are in better demand and the stock is improving. Violets seem to drag, as there are so many on the market. Various Notes. E. D. Ellsworth will have close to 1,800 lily plants ready for Easter, with any quantity of blooms and buds which look exceptionally fine.

The general run of business across the state line seems to have declined somewhat and was not up to expecta- tions. W. J. B. PHILADELPHIA. The Bising Eastern Market. «. March has come quiet as a lamb, with sudden fierce changes to leonine severity that pass almost as quickly. The market is irregular, making it difficult of de- scription. The crops of many flowers are heavier than a week 'ago,- while business is hardly so good, although there have been excellent days. Good ; Beauties are extremely scarce. The rose crops in gen- eral are light, yet the shorts are often unsold. White carnations are in brisk demand at good prices, while the colored varieties do not bring so much; this is particularly true of Enchantress. . Violets are in poor shape; not the flowers; they are all right; but the call for them. An expert believes that the fashion of wear- ing artificial flowers has hurt the violet. Sweet peas are in oversupply ; fine flow- ers bring moderate prices, while poor flowers often bring nothing. Valley is in oversupply. Easter lilies have been hard to market. Snapdragon has fallen in price. Cattleyas are less plentiful, but lack support. Gardenias have only a lim- ited market just now. Daffodils are firmer, with lighter receipts of fine stock. Good tulips, such as Le Matador, Cou- ronne d'Or, Murillo and Lord Rosebery, are in demand, but the ordinary variety lacks support. White lilac has been sell- ing fairly well. Daisies and pansies are good stock most of the time. Shipping is not so heavy as it has been. Producer to Consumer. Much interest has boon oxprpsseil by all BERGER BROS.

THE BEST OF EVERYTHING IN THE MARKET uentJon Tbe Keview waen tou wnie branches of the profession in the adver- tising experiment that has been carried on lately by William A. Leonard, of Lansdowne, Pa Mr. Leonard has been advertising liis roses in a local evening paper, ofl'ering to send fresh flowers cut from his own greenhouses by parcel post at a price lower, grade for grade, than the same roses bring in the stores. This is believed to be the first effort of its kind made in this city and its success will be watched with interest. At first glance it seems like an attempt to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Ex- actly how the stores can continue to pay good prices in face of such competition is difficult to see. Craig's at Easter. The modern plant of the Robert Craig Co., at Norwood, is an important factor in the production of high grade Piaster plants. Today they have a num- ber of houses devoted to some of the finest stock that has been seen here. I have never seen so much fine Easter blooming stock in one place. There are three houses of unusual promise. The first is filled with roses, Tausend- schon, Juniata, Hiawatha and a few other roses. They have been grown in a low temperature. They are well budded and the picture of rose vigor. The second house is filled with gigan- March 6, 1913.

The third house is also filled with one kind of plant, hydrangeas, ex- tremely well budded, shapely and well clothed with foliage. The smaller part is filled with Otaksa and the larger part with some of the new French varieties. Specimen ferns are a feature at Nor- wood. The older place of the Robert Craig Co., at Forty-ninth and Market streets, filled with all varieties of Easter IS plants of merit, old and new. The lil- ies show the contrast between the Fov- mosas and the shorter multiflorums. The same contrast is seen in roses be- tween the magnificent specimen Crim- son Ramblers and the dwarf new va- rieties of the baby type, led by Mrs. Taft, Phyllis and Orleans.

Perns and foliage plants, with the less important flowering plants, complete the varied stock. The Easter bustle is already beginning. Loads of plants are going out to the early buyers. Their places are being taken by big loads of plants from Norwood. The timing on all va- rieties appears to be wonderfully ac- curate. It looks today as though nearly everything would bloom natu- rally at Easter. Various Notes.

We don 't know of any convention that ever meets in this city, says an .\ustin, Minn., newspaper, that is more quiet than the W. B. Perry Florists' Association. The Federated Women's Clubs have their little differences, the Convention of Charities and Correc- tions had its trouble, the Ministerial Association may have its friction, but one couldn't conceive of a florists' con- vention being other than quiet. The florists' work lies with quiet nature, the silent but wonderful manifestation of plant life. When the florists' con- vention convenes no bands are playing a "Hot Time!" No marching bodies with flags and ribbons meet the dele- gates! The mayor never surrenders the keys of the city. There are no ad- dresses of welcome and no programs.

These florists meet twice a year and all of the florists of southern Minne- sota and northern Iowa are members. About fifteen years ago W. B. Perry, a florist of Cresco, invited all his brother florists and their ladies to his place for a social time. Then was organized the association which has met twice a year ever since. The convention lasts three days and the only real set business is the election of a president and secretary. Walter S. Hall, of Osage, always is elected secretary and the president is always the florist who does the enter- taining. The next meeting will be at Charles City, la., so M. H.

The Brix Floral Co., on St. Louis ave- nue, reports an unusual quantity of funeral work all last week, mostly large designs. The C. Young & Sons Co. has the decoration for the spring opening of the Vandervort department store this week, in which nearly 1,000 Beauties will be used. The big force of men started the work Saturday night, March 1. A state board of forestry is to be created at the state capitol this week, according to Senator Cassidy, of St. Louis. This board is to appoint a state forester, to receive $2,500 per year sal- ary. The Florists' Club is to send in the name of an expert after the gov- ernor appoints the new board.

Business has been good for the last few days, as the coming of the suffra- gettes and the other inaugural visitors has made the demand for cut flowers quite satisfactory. Violets, sweet peas, gardenias and orchids lead in popu- larity, though the falsers are handling a large amount of the calls for the vio- lets and sweet peas. Dinner decora- tions, however, are not as plentiful as could be desired, though there are a few good orders to be had. Funeral work has been exceptionally heavy. Various Notes. John H. Small & Sons furnished the flowers and other decorations which graced the rooms of President Wilson and Vice-president Marshall at the Shoreham hotel, and delivered for Henry P. Neun, of Rochester, N. Y., two baskets of growing plants and two dozen special American Beauty roses to Senator Thomas B. Dunn, for presen- tation to the President.

Robert Bowdler has opened his new store at Fourteenth and I streets, N. W., in the room that was occupied by George C. Shaffer prior to his moving across the street. The interior and exterior of the store have been painted white and numerous improvements have been made, including the installation of electric lights. For the present, at least, Mr. Bowdler will not keep open on Sundays and will thus be one of the few exceptions. Charles Wernig, of York, Pa., was in. town last week, showing his new Primula Gertrude, a clear, vigorous growing primrose, bearing, when in per- fection, twenty-five to forty bunches per 7-inch plant.

As chairman of the illumi- nation committee, Mr. Gude deserves credit for the magnificence of the ap- pearance of the Court of Honor, where President Wilson reviewed the parade. Mr. Small furnished the American Beauty roses and other flowers which graced the presidential section, and C. H.

Keodel. CleTvIand, O. A lAWN grass that will kill weeds is a brand much sought for. F. H. Henry, of Henry & Lee, New York, is on a western trip. In all branches of the seed trade quick action is in vogue; even the onion set people now are hustling. We cannot too highly recommend the assistant who is always healthy, espe- cially in the busy season. The wise market gardener is buying his usual quantity of seed, regardless of the present price of produce. The L. C. Brown Seed House, of La Grange, 111., is planning to open a branch establishment at Kankakee, 111. It is the opinion of the average buyer that good seed is the kind that will make a prize-winning crop, no matter how planted. The Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, is platting a portion of the property on which its greenhouses stand and will put about forty lots on the market. James A. Hovey, for several years in charge of the seed department of the George A. Weaver Co., Newport, E. I., died at Newton Highlands, Mass., last week. The Atlantic Seed Co., Augusta, Me., has been incorporated, with $30,000 cap- ital stock. The promoters are G. J. Lange, of Eau Claire, Wis., and L. J. Coleman and E. S. Buzzell, of Augusta. The Standard Seed and Soil In- oculation Co., of Troy, N. Y., re- cently was incorporated. The di- rectors are John E. McDonald, 1913 Sixth avenue, Watervliet; Isabel Kelly, 2162 Fourteenth street, and Pierc« Bailey, Springside, Burden avenue, Troy. The company is capitalized at $1,000. Mail orders in February have, accord- ing to reports, been good, but not many records have been broken. The princi- pal increases have been made by the com- paratively new houses in the south and west. The older houses in the east still are growing steadily, but they are more conservative. The weather in February was so mild that it not only helped to a good mail business, but in some sections started the counter trade stronger than usual. Foe some time of late the weather has been seasonable in nearly all sections. The rush occasioned by the preceding mild weather has let up, giving a chance to keep up with the orders from sections that must have seed at once or lose out. All standards seem to be in fair supply, except Fordhook lima and a few other important sorts of beans. There is a long season yet, however, and the plan this year, more than ever, seems to be to hold off until absolute necessity compels a purchase; there may be, therefore, a scramble for some things yet. "OFF AO'IN, ON AO'IN." The eongressional struggle over free seeds reminds one of the well-known story of Finnigan. It will be recalled that this celebrated Irish railroader THE COST OF FREE SEEDS IN response to a resolution of the Senate, Secretary Wilson has furnished the figures covering the cost of the congressional free seeds for the last four years. It totals $1,110,933. The cost of purchasing seeds and plaijts includes the purchase price, freight and drayage, inspection of growing crops, office salaries, j equipment and supplies; the cost of preparing the seeds for distribution and delivery to the mails includes rent, cost of equipment and repairs, labor, bags, boxes, paper, twine, hauling, etc. The figures, which do not include the cost of carrying in the mails, are as follows: Projects.

The Market. * Trade among the wholesalers was highly satisfactory during the month of February. Stock of all kinds was good and there was enough of every- thing to supply all demands, except in roses and Beauties. Boses, however, are getting more plentiful and of bet- ter quality every day, with a good outlook for Easter stock. All the retailers are carrying a fine assortment of blooming plants, which, with the forced shrubbery so much in use at this time, enable them to make fine displays. Now that nearly all baskets are made with pans that can be filled with water, there is an unusual display of arranged baskets on exhibi- tion in many of the stores, and pur- chasers are encouraged to buy baskets of all sizes. This makes a demand for a much greater variety of flowers than in former years, and in the case of debutantes one finds many more bas- kets than bunches, which was not true in former years. Even in funeral work certain flowers are used — and most ar- tistically, too — which would not have been thought of a few years ago; such flowers, for instance, as daffodils, red tulips and, in fact, anything that looks like a flower. Nothing is objected to when arranged so that it is artistic and pretty. Of course, there are some who make awful conglomerations, but they should not be classed with the real artists in the business. And there never was a time when it was so neces- sary for a cut flower worker to know his business as just now. Various Notes. Bandolph & McClements have had some unusually pretty effects in bloom- ing plants arranged in baskets, but nothing more striking than a single specimen Adiantum Farleyense in a basket, with an appropriate ribbon. G. P. Weaklen & Co. have in the rear of their store a conservatory which is really a part of the store, and which is ablaze with blooming plants of all kinds. And, judging from the number of plants wrapped for delivery, one would say that the extra efforts are not in vain. Mrs. E. A. "Williams, who takes pride in the artistic effects which can be pro- duced in a small room, makes frequent changes in the character of the plants used in her window and store, present- ing at one time some fine color effects in foliage plants, and at another time using blooming plants with cut flowers and other effects to harmonize. This can only be done by the true artist and it shows the advances being made in the profession. The A. W. Smith Co., with its im- mense room, at this season keeps one man busy looking after decorative ef- fects for the windows, one of which is nearly always an orchid window of some kind, besides arranging the groups of foliage and blooming plants SPRING-FLOWERING BULBS BEGONIAS Doz. 100 Single, separate colors $0.40 $2.50 Double, separate colors ... .60 4.00 CALADIUMS With live center shoots Doz. 100 5- 7 inch $0.30 $1.80 7- 9 inch 50 3.50 9-11 inch 85 6.00 GLADIOLI First size bulbs 100 1000 America, pink $3.00 $25.00 Augusta, white 2.25 20.00 Francis King, scarlet 2.00 18.00 Light and White florists' mixture 1 . 76 15.00 CANNAS Two to three-eye roots 100 1000 Austria $2.00 $18.00 Buttercup 3.00 Chas.

McCallum, of the McCallum Co., is a ''canoe bug" and spends many of his nights at the club house, to get the benefit of sleeping outdoors, thus getting into shape for a spring trip. Samuel McClements is on a business trip through the east, looking for Easter novelties. G. P. Weaklen and Mrs. Weaklen are visiting New York, for business and pleasure. Joseph Heacock, of Wyncote, Pa., is a visitor, looking up trade in this vicinity.

Beckert, the seedsman, is in the height of the rush and reports more orders than ever before at this time of the year, but, with his new store and better facilities, he is better able to take care of the business. Clarke. SPBINGFIELD, MASS. The Market. There is an abundance of all kinds of flowers, but there has been no glut. Business has kept up well, in spite of Lent, and there has been a great deal of funeral work. Bulbous stock is most plentiful and Dutch hyacinths are coming into the market in great quan- tities. The trade expected a big in- crease in business last week, because of the hardware convention in the new city hall auditorium, but the extra work for the convention proved to be of little consequence. Flowering plants are moving at a lively pace. Various Notes. L. D. Robinson reports that his azaleas and bulbous stock will be in fine condition for Easter. January and February have been the best business months in his experience. Meacham & Hassell have been doing a great deal ef funeral work during the last few weeks. Charles Isselee, formerly with M.

My Original SILVER PINK SNAPDRAGON is a money-maker, being a grand variety iadoors and out. Aside from a possible sport, it has never varied from the soft, silvery pink which is best in full sunshine, making it an ideal bedder. Plants like cut can be grown in three months, which, in 2^ or 3^-in. pots, will make double the money that geraniums or any other bedding plant will, from the fact that you can grow 16 plants to the square foot in 2^-in. pots and 9 plants In i>^-in. pots. Use pencil and flgUTe profit at 75c to $L.5u per dozen. It requires 9 montbb for guranlums to do half so well, and a year of good growing for carnations and many other plants to equal it. Clean up a comer anywhere and All with SILVER PINK. You can't keep it from growing. Price of seed— my own growing— $1.00 per packet of over 600 seeds; 8 packets, |2.50, delirered.

A small black spot started at the eye and spread all over the fruit. It was a kind of black rot. I have been told that it is caused by the decaying wood in the soil. Can you say whether this is correct, and what remedy would you advise? W. D. The trouble you have had on your tomatoes is commonly called blossom- end rot. Little is known of the cause of this trouble, which affects plants both under glass and outdoors. It is worse outdoors during a spell of damp weather. It seems to be superinduced indoors by a too close and stuffy at- mosphere and an overabundance of moisture, both at the root and in the atmosphere. Perfect cleanliness is neces- sary, including whitewashing of the walls, keeping floors and spaces below benches clear of rubbish and removal of dead or decaying foliage.

Keep a dry atmos- phere and a night temperature of 60 to 65 degrees. Ventilate on all possible oc- casions, always avoiding draughts.

Horse- shoe Brand Giganteum fields are all disbudded at the proper time. This means quite some work, for it is not a light job to disbud be- tween two and three million lily plants. However, it is done be- cause it makes the bulbs more solid and compact, much stronger and better able to stand the Cold Storage strain, should it be re- quired.

What baby rose is good for commer- cial use in the vicinity of San Fran- cisco? The growers here are raising Cecile Brunner mostly, but it is not of much account in the winter season. Are there some other everblooming baby roses in the eastern markets? If so, kindly inform us. S. M. & C. There are several other varieties of the true polyantha type, and many be- longing to the ramblers and other less flowering families. All of these are small-blossomed, more or less clustered. They are usually grown for a particu- lar occasion and, after blooming, but little more is expected of them for several months. Cecile Brunner does not come under that description, but, when properly handled, will give blos- soms all through the fall and winter season. During the early spring and summer it is flowered with great suc- cess outdoors, where, though the foliage may not be as delicate, the flowers will be of better color and substance than those produced under glass at the same season. If the plants are properly handled, yon will have no trouble in getting quantities of blossoms at the time when they are expected under glass, and if a succession of plantings is made they can be had at any time desired. While there are several other roses of the same type as Cecile Brunner, there are none up to this time of the beautiful shade that has made this rose so popular with flower buyers. There is nothing that can be found to duplicate it; when the cultural requirements are complied with, it will probably be found perfectly satisfactory. G. CUTTmOS DO NOT BOOT. Perhaps you can tell me why my rose cuttings will not root. We have what we consider a good propagating house. It is on the north side of the range and is 12x125 feet, with a height of fourteen feet from walk to ridge. We have two concrete benches, six inches deep. The framework is solid, with 1-inch drainage holes about ten inches apart. We have bricks on top of the concrete. The wood for cuttings is selected. The only cut- tings that root are Chatenays, of which we get about fifty per cent. The otliers look well for two or three Weeks. They make an unusually large callus, but about half of them drop their leaves and the rest of them will not root. The sand heat is from 65 to 70 degrees; the top heat, 60 degrees. We do not fire in the daytime, as we get lots of sun- shine here, in southern California. We also have heavy shade on the house. We have no trouble in rooting carna- tions on the north bench of the same house. Our sand is the best river sand. We use well water and it has some alkali in it. A. E. The usual causes of a large callus and slow rooting' in rose cuttings are too much moisture in the sand and too little bottom heat. There should be at least ten degrees of difference between the top and bottom heat. The cuttings should be lightly sprayed overhead, not heavily watered, especially late in the rooting process. When first inserted, the cuttings should be thoroughly wet. It may also be that your wood was too old and hard, as such cuttings often suffer in the manner described. H. E. E. LOS ANGELES, OAL. The Market. Plenty of stock and good business form a combination satisfactory to all, and this is the state of affairs here. The shortest item is good indoor roses. Beauties are fair. There is plenty of bulbous stock, including yellow daffo- dils, Paper White narcissi, tulips in variety, Dutch and Eoman hyacinths. Carnations are arriving in quantity; so, also, are violets. A few pans of hyacinths are seen around the stores. but the majority are poor and short in the stem. Forced plants of Wistaria Sinensis and its white variety provide a cheap method of making an excellent show, for they are singularly pretty and graceful. Azalea amoena is well flowered and popular, giving satisfac- tion to customers owing to its long lasting qualities. Indian azaleas are scarce and only of moderate quality. Easter lilies, both cut and in pots, are selling well. The demand for mag- nolia, stimulated by the recent short- age in flowers, seems to keep up even now, when flowers are plentiful. Good cattleyas have been on the scarce side, but phalsenopsis and a few others are plentiful. Valley is equal to the de- mand, which has been large. A heavy rain occurred here February 23 and 24, over seven inches being precipitated.

The Florists^ Review 77 THE NOVELTY OF THE SEASON "RAMONA" THE NEW RED CHEROKEE ROSE /-T-\HIS sensational and magnificent new climbing I rose occurred as a sport from the well-known ■^ Pink Cherokee (Rosa Sinica, var. Anemone). It is a stronger and more rampant grower than its parent, and produces during the spring and early summer months flowers in such profusion as to entirely cover the plant; in autumn there is a secondary crop of bloom. The flowers are much larger than either the pibk or white forms, with brilliant golden-yellow stamens and broad petals of a glorious carmine-crim- son color; an unusual shade, wonderfully striking and effective; the foliage is absolutely mildew- proof, a rich, glossy green, so bright that it appears as though varnished. The life-like illustration in our advertise- ment in The Review of February 20th, showing blooms and foliage natural size, pictures its beauty stronger than mere words. The original sport occurred on the nurseries of Messrs. Dieterich & Turner, at Montebello, California. They, realizing its value and great beauty, propagated over one hundred thousand plants, from whom we acquired the entire stock. This is indicative of our faith in its value, and its coming popularity is attested by the fact that we have already booked orders for many thousands of plants, hence we feel that we are safe in stating that "RAMONA" will have the largest first season's sale of any new rose ever offered to the American trade. "RAMONA" will be of special value as a garden rose to the entire Pacific Coast, the Southwestern, Gulf and South Atlantic States; it will prove hardy as far north as Philadelphia. For planting on pergolas, pillars, porches, etc., it is a rose of unique and beautiful effect; in addition, it makes an elegant hedee plant if properly trained and pruned, affording a relief from the stereotyped privet hedges, with the added value of a rich display of color. We are offering plants of "Ramona" at the following prices, cash with order: In lots less tlian one hundred: From 2-incIi pots, 85 cents eacb. $3.50 per dozen; from 8-incli pots, 50 cents eaob, $5.00 per dozen; from 5-inch pots, $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. In lots of one himdred to five hundred: From 2-inch pots, $20.00 per one hvuidred; from 8-inch pots, $30.00; from 5-inoh pots, $60.00. In lots of five hiuidred to one thousand: From 2-inoh pots, $125.00 per thousand; from 8-inch pots, $150.00 per thousand. [^"Parties desiring to list "Ramona" can be supplied by us with copies of the colored plate shown in the Review of February 20th, at the rate of 13.60 per hundred, $30.00 per thousand; larger quantities at special rates.

E. Richards. PASADENA, OAL. Extremely heavy rainfall is causing general rejoicing among the members of the Pasadena Horticultural Associa* tion, as well as farmers, citrus fruit growers and other horticulturists and agriculturists in southern California. The Pasadena association is particu- larly pleased because of the annual spring flower show scheduled for April 10 to 12, at the Hotel Maryland. Although this is an association of ama- teurs and private gardeners, the com- mercial growers and florists always come to the fore with large, creditable exhibits, and the shows attract much att^tion from the general public. Announcement is made that the store formerly known as Kempton's Flower Shop, 190 West Colorado street, will be conducted in future as the Bogers Flower Shop. Owing to plans for the building of a large garage where the shop now stands, the latter is to be removed to the next lot west. Work on the change is in progress and the Misses Eogers hope to be permanently settled in the new location within the next few weeks. Burglars entered the Campbell Seed Store, 148 West Colorado street, Febru- ary 24, but all they obtained for their trouble was $3.50. This was all that had been left in the cash register and the prowlers apparently cared for nothing but cash. Entrance was ob- tained through the rear door, which had been nailed shut and proved easy to force. A. C. B. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. Business is holding up remarkably well. A good call for funeral work is what helps out the situation. With the lengthening of the days and the in- -crease of sunshine, flowers are becom- ing more plentiful. Carnations are al- most a deluge, but, with good manage- ment, the stock is kept pretty well ■cleaned up. Roses are rapidly improv- ing; Brides, Maids, Killarneys and Richmonds are the leading varieties. Violets are in oversupply; hence there is a decline in prices.

City officials participated in the ceremonies in the various parks. Tom Luke has organized an amateur athletic club. Eegular boxing and wrest- ling matches are on the program. E. E. C. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Flowers continue overabundant and business continues at rather a low ebb, although in comparison with that of one year ago it is a trifle ahead, which IS somewhat encouraging. Bulbous stock is now at its best. Never have daffodils or the various kinds of nar- cissi made a bigger showing than in the last two weeks. They are our most popular flowers at present, but, owing to the favorable weather conditions, they are produced in much larger quan- tities than are needed. Apparently, this is not the case with tulips. A few of our larger growers did not plant tu- lips as heavily this year as formerly, and they are not in such heavy supply. Still, there are plenty for all require- ments. Roses and carnations are plentiful and cheap. Valley is not in oversup- ply. Freesias are scarcer. Japanese lilies are bought up well. Violets are not quite as much of a drug as they were, but are in good supply. Sweet peas are cheaper. Adiantums and other greens are easier. From all accounts, there will be plenty of material for Easter. Various Notes. The Panama Pacific directors have ad- vertised for bids for large quantities of nursery stock with which to orna- ment the grounds of the coming ex- hibition. The California State Floral So- ciety will give its spring flQ,wer show in the Fairmount hotel, March 27, 28 and 29.

T. mrt7-aifbth annnal naatlnr, Portland, Or*., lane, 1818. D. M. Andrews, Boulder, Colo., has published an excellent vest-pocket mon- ograph entitled "The Planting and Care of Street Trees in Colorado." It in- cludes a classified descriptive list of recommended varieties. The nursery firm of Peyton & Barnes, at Boonville, Mo., has been dissolved by mutual consent. Mr. Barnes retains the old firm name, Boonville Nurseries, and is planning to have even better facilities than formerly for the transaction of busi- ness. Mr. Peyton is understood to have taken over three-fourths of the growing nursery stock and a large part of the propagating equipment, and has organ- ized the firm of T. E. Peyton & Sons, whose establishment will bear the name, Pevton Nurseries. WILL RETURN DUTIES. In response to an inquiry from the collector of customs at Boston the Sec- retary of the Treasury has written: "I have to state that the duties de- posited on nursery stock, etc., found to be in violation of the plant-quarantine act of August 20, 1912, and the regula- tions thereunder in T. D. 33071 of .lanuary 8, 1913, and exported or de- stroyed, may be refunded from 'Excess of Deposits ' upon proper evidence of exportation or destruction. "Such exportation shall be under customs supervision. Evidence of de- struction shall be in the form of a certificate of a customs officer or of a representative of the Department of Agriculture. The certificate should specify the kind and amount of stock so destroyed, the number of the permit of the Department of Agriculture, and the name of the importer. A certifi- cate of a state department of agricul- ture to the fact of destruction may be accepted when verified by a representa- tive of the United States Department of Agriculture." NEW ENGLAND ASSOCIATION. The election of a new board of officers and tlie appointment of a committee to give publicity to the fact that New Eng- land, and particularly Massachusetts, is not the hotbed of insect pests and that the six states form a most desirable sec- tion of the country for the purchase of nursery stock, formed the chief business at the session of the New England Nur- serymen 's Association at Worcester, Mass., February 2.5 and 26. ~ . & A.

'I'ljis entire lot of splendid plants of Sli- ver Pink snapdragon at a small price. Shipment March 10, when they will be sturdy plants with 2 to 6 branches. They are offered at a bargain because we can afford it. We will have used this bench space three times In one year and can make the low price with still a good margin of profit. The price is only $3.00 PER 100, TWO HUNDRED FOR ?5.00, cash, by express. These plants will make strong stock in 3% and 4-ln. pots for early bedding sales, and should sell more readily and make you more money than any bed- ding plant. We have been short of stock for two seasons and have had so many ad- vance orders and inquiries that we cut our geranium stock in half. The only adver- tising done was a bed of Silver Pink In our )iome grounds. Snapdragon is destined to become as popular and profitable for bedding as it now is under glass. Get in line and pick up some of the easy dollars and a lot of new customers. Use these plants to show blos- soms and sow seed for 2% -in. stock. See my smaller display ad. for figures. Price of seed, my own growing, $1.00 per pkt. ot over 500 seeds; 3 pkts., $2.50, delivered. Be prompt with plant orders. This Is my last lot for spring sales.

Among other clauses are three pro- viding that every firm selling fruit- bearing trees shall affix to each tree a variety tag, that every sale shall be made under a written contract and that a penalty of $5 for each tree not up to contract specifications may be recovered in civil action by the purchaser. The last provision is regarded as ridiculous by nurserymen. "The man outside the state sells his product outright, receives his money and the transaction is closed. €an you imagine what chance a pur- chaser would have five or ten years later, when his trees get to fruit-bear- ing age, to collect any money if the trees didn't make good?" said Irving Rouse.

The general run of trade is decidedly slow, and were it not for a few of the extras that happen occasionally, euch as weddings, funeral work, etc., we would not be able to speak favorably of busi- ness. Perhaps, too, the lull in trade is more noticeable on account of the plenti- ful supply of stock in all lines. The bright, warm weather has not only brought an abundamt supply of cut flow- ers and plants, but in some varieties has caused a glut. Especially is this true of the longiflorum lilies, while others complain of carnations and roses. In fact, the mild winter has been a problem for the florists to solve, for it is thought by some that a good portion of the bulbous stock will come in a Ut- ile too early for Easter. Various Notes. ^ W. G. Matthews' window at his Main street store last week was a beautiful array of spring flowers in baskets. Mrs. B. Haschke tells us she is pick- ing a fine crop of sweet peas. One thing that is attracting a great deal of attention and admiration at "W. W. Horlacher 's greenhouses is a beauti- ful crop of forget-me-nots, uncommon in this city. George Bartholomew, of the Edge- mont Floral Co., gives an encouraging report on business. George Lampert, of Xenia, was in town March 1, with some fine carna- tions and sweet peas. One of the big things that the Heiss Co. did last week was to decorate for a wedding in Harshman. Visitors: Harry Gabel, of the Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, 111.; Wm. E. Astling, of the King Construction Co., North Tonawanda, N. Y.; G. Eeising, of L. Baumann & Co., Chicago; D. Bus- coni, Jr., of Cincinnati. Mrs. L. D. Johnson has been unusually busy with funeral work. Miss Bessie Bartholomew has been quite ill with tonsilitis. M. & L. Johnson report trade to be good. The Miami Floral Co. is having some heavy cuts on Easter lilies. R. A. L.

Business has been fairly good, but the demand for cut flowers has fallen off to some extent during the last week. Bulbous stock is plentiful, some of the local florists offering daffodils and tu- lips as a special March 1 at 35 cents per dozen. Funeral orders are quite heavy and all the florists seem to be getting their share. Carnations and sweet peas of choice quality are more plentiful, but the supply of choice roses is reported by some to be short. Various Notes. A. Ostermann reports business as be- ing good, with orders for funeral work heavy. His store is attractive. The S, H. Moore Co. reports business quite satisfactory. Funeral orders were exceptionally heavy last week. Hya- cinths and tulips in pots and pans are selling well. The window was attrac- tive with bulbous stock, specimen aza- leas and ferns. Champion & Co. had an attractive window display of azaleas, choice cycla- mens, and a few genistas and roses, which reminded one of the near ap- proach of Easter. Recently they have been kept quite busy with decoration orders. Charles Munro, the Chapel street florist, reports funeral orders quite heavy and other business fairly good. He had a special sale of tulips and daffcfdils March 1, which cleaned up a lot of stock. Erica melanthera was pretty in his window.

Hyacinths and tulips in pots and pans are grown in large quantities for the store trade, also thousands of these and daffodils have just been brought in for the Easter business. .Just at present there is a house of Bicolor Victoria which are readily picked up in the store.

Tremulus Bros., with headquarters in Chicago and branch stores at Rockford and Aurora, 111., have opened a store at 305 Upper Second street. They had their opening March 1 and the business done was far ahead of the greatest ex- pectations. Mr. Tremulus said it was the greatest opening he ever had, the sales amounting to over $200. They gave away, as souvenirs, about 25,000 violets. The store is ideally located near Main street and was crowded from morning till night. They sold 7,000 carnations at 25 cents per dozen, fine, long-stemmed roses at $1 per dozen, jonquils and daffodils at 35 cents per dozen, violets at 15 cents and 25 cents per bunch, sweet peas at 15 cents and 25 cents per bunch. They had a few plants, but not so many as they expect to have later, when everything is ar- ranged. A large ice-box has been built in the store. A large front window gives a good opportunity for making displays. E. L. F. Fairfield, Conn.— C. P. Loder, of :Hydrangeas, good foliage and lapgje trusses, Jl.50. T^'.

TYLEB, TEX. Business has been splendid fojr the last year and is still keeping up well, but death has visited each of the three florists within a little more than a year. Mrs. Hill was called away in January, 1912. November 11, 1912, Frank Hewitt passed into his rest, after a painful illness. January 11, 1913, James Whitten died. Mr. Whitten's sister sold the business and retired. Mrs. Hewitt, however, will continue her business, and expects to build more greenhouses in the coming summer. Everything is looking promising. We have had a mild winter so far, but with much cloudy weather. I think the lowest outside temperature was 16 degrees above zero, and that only once this winter. ' I had written thus far, February 26, when I saw a storm coming and soon it looked as if the greenhouses and everything in them would be a total wreck. It was the worst hail storm we have had in years. About 200 panes of glass were broken in Mrs. Frank Hewitt's greenhouses and quite a number of plants were dam- aged. It is impossible to say at pres- ent what the damage to the fruit crop will be, as the storm seemed to skip some places. H. SCRANTON, PA. .7. B. MeClintock is finishing his latest range in concrete. These are on the tidge and furrow plan and considered the best suited for bedding stock, which is raised in great numbers. Judging by the size of the excellent Easter stock, Dig business is expected. Our New Lobelia MRS. AUQ. SWANSON Named In honor of the wife of Mr. Aug. Swanson, 23 years a florist in St. Paul, now retired. This lobelia is a sport from Bedding: Queen, which we found among our seedlings in 1911. It Is a wonderful Improvement on that best of lobelias. The flower is exceedingly large and free bloom- ing. It has % more white in it than any other lobelia we have ever seen. It is a plant we assure you will sell better than any plant you have on your place. We exhibited plants and four vases of flowers at the St. Paul, Minn., Show, Nov., 1912, and before we could remove them next morning after the show, every bit of the cut stuff and four plants were stolen. So, -' you see, they "like it all right. The upper picture is Bedding Queen and the lower Mrs. Aug. Swanson. The cut is a photo of two 3-in. pots, laid on the side. The large white eye does not show on the picture, as deep blue and white never show up properly In a photo.

NEW CARNATION BENORA Strang rooted cuttings ready for immediate delivery $6 00 per 100 $50 00 per 1000 This variegated carnation, sent out by Mr. Peter Fisiier last season, is tlie finest varie- gated variety, and one off tiie very best car- nations off any coior, ever sent out. It has immediately attained a commanding posi- tion among the very choicest sorts, and will add to Mr. Fisher's already enyiable list of introductions. It is indispensable. It is a very early and free bloomer, matures quickly, making very perfect flowers of the largest size on long stems; does not split the calyx. F. R. PIERSON CO. TARRYTOWN-ON-HUDSON .

The !Vfar«h weather is quite " M archy, " with the wind blowing and the temperature around zero. Business is about the same as last week, with a steady demand for pot plants and a good many funerals, which keep the stock moving. The next two Sundays will find naost of the florists busy with spring openings, and that means work every Sunday until after Easter. We all hope to see the day when florists can rest on Sunday the same as other people. There is no more reason for florists working on Sunday than there is for any other business men, and when the florists can get together and elimi- nate Sunday work it will be better for all conceri^ed. Various Notes. The Bertermann Bros. Co. lias a fine lot of fancy plants for Easter, and Mr, Schreiber deserves a lot of praise for liis efficient work. He delivers the goods in fine condition and on time. A. Wiegand 's Sons Co, 's stock is in fine condition, and Mr. Hoffmann, Wie- gand 's grower, deserves his share of fredit. He knows his business. The florists having motor car delivery need not dread long transfers of flowers now, for a new rule in effect at Crown Hill makes it possible for lot owners to obtain a permit to drive cars within the gates, Robert Fohl, formerly with the In- dianapolis Flower & Plant Co,, has taken a position with A, E, Nelson, Tt is reported that T, B, Pritchard, ENCHANTRESS SUPREME |HE best Sport of Enchantress up to date, possessintr all the visor and freedom that dls- lingulsh Its parent.

March opened like a lion. Jf previ- ous experiences are any indication, we stand some show of having a pleasant Easter. The wind reached a velocity of sixty-five miles an hour, with blind- ing snow and cold. February on the whole was not so cold, but the sun dis- appeared in the latter part of the month and the lilies did not move so fast as we would have liked them to. The lily situation will be about the same as usual; perhaps they will be a little scarcer. Azaleas will be short, but the other stock seems to be in about the usual supply. We all look for a good Easter and, while business leading up to it has not been wonder- ful, we can not complain for the Lenten season. Increased publicity has greatly increased the sales of the last few months and for Easter we look for an increased amount of advertising, which can not do otherwise than make the season bigger and b'fetter than ever. The bowling committee invited the Rochester club to a night of bowling and pleasure, which was returning the compliment of a few weeks ago, and the event was most pleasant. The Buf- falo boys turned out in fine shape and the able chairman, Joe Streit, was a royal host. He was busy every minute satisfying the wants of some- one and we feel sure that no one can say that he did not have a good time. The Rochester boys were somewhat handicapped by the absence of some of the star bowlers and as a result did not make the showing usually cred- ited to their scores. Charles Sandiford was high for the Buffalo team and Mr. Boland for the Rochester side. R. A. S. The Corfu establishment of the Wm. Scott Co. has been purchased by N. A. Brown as an investment and leased to his son-in-law, David Scott, who has been the manager of the plant, which consists of 45,000 feet of glass. Mr. Scott will hereafter conduct the grow- ing business at Corfu under his own name, the greater part of the output being sold, as heretofore, in the retail store of the Wm. Scott Co. Newton Falls, O.— C. E. Tinker is greatly pleased with the last few months' business. The volume of trade was the heaviest since he started in business here three years ago. Barrlngton, HI. — F. W. Stott procured some blank slides and writes his own advertisements on them, to be thrown on the screen at the local moving pic- ture shows. He has found it a paying advertisement.

ASCHMANN BROS., Second and Bristol Stroots and Rising Sun Avonuo, Mention 7%e Review when yon writ* PHILADELPHIA, PA. OYSTEB BAY, N. Y. The regular monthly meeting of the Oyster Bay Horticultural Society was held in the Board of Trade rooms Februar}' 21. President Duthie occu- pied the chair. The secretary read the report of the dinner committee, which proved to be most satisfactory. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded the committee, and also to Charles Both- man for his splendid service. On behalf of an anonymous donor, the secretary was instructed to offer a silver cup for the best collection of peonies at the spring show; also $10 in gold as a second prize and $10 to be devoted to school children's ex- hibits. Seven new members were enrolled and two were elected. W. D. Robertson, James Goldsmith and John Sorosick acted as judges and their decisions were as follows: Primula malacoides from Frank Pe- troccia, honorable mention; cucumbers from Joseph Marmarole, honorable mention; three pots hyacinths, Joseph Robinson, cultural certificate; tour pots Primula obconica, Frank Kyle, cultural certificate; vase of lilies, A. Lahodney, cultural certificate; 100 violets, A. Walker, cultural certificate; three or- chids, J. Ingram, honorable mention. Joseph Robinson announced his in- tention to give a gold medal to the member gaining most first prizes at the monthly competitions for 1913. The exhibitors gave interesting talks on their methods of growing the stock exhibited. Floyd Blowers, of Westlook Farm, read an interesting essay on out- door grapes, and the society extended to him a hearty vote of thanks. The secretary, in behalf of the N. A. Gr., distributed catalogues for the Inter- national Show. The secretary was also instructed to get all particulars about the national bowling tournament and report at next meeting. The exhibits at the next meeting will consist of one pot of Easter lilies, three spikes of antirrhinum and three heads of lettuce. J. T. I. The Review sells all I can grow. — J. P.

Stock was cleaned up well, with the exception, perhaps, of lilies, valley and some of the bulbous stock. The market is well supplied with pans of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, and they move readily. There appears to be a scarcity of large azalea plants; those growers who have some are apparently holding them over for Eastec :«t\,C'«*t: Various Notes. \Vm. A. McAlpine, of Exeter, N. H., owner of the New England Rose Con- servatories, spent a few days here last week. He appears to like this part of the country well. Mr. Scharff, of Scharff Bros., Van Wert, O., was a recent visitor at Thomas Browne's establishment. He came here to see the new carnation, Philadelphia, growing, and was favorably impressed. Mrs. Sylvester, mother of Albert Syl- vester, died recently, and was buried February 28. Schroeter's Studebaker 20 was con- siderably damaged in a collision with another auto last week. Fortunately, the driver, the sole occupant of Schroe- ter's car, was not injured. The committee, with Philip Breit- meyer as chairman, that has taken up the fight on behalf of all the users of steam for heating greenhouses in Michi- gan, against the two bills recently pre- sented at Lansing, is sadly in need of funds to pay attorneys' fees and other incidental expenses, and will greatly ap- preciate a check for $5 from any inter- ested grower who has not already con- tributed. Make the check payable to Hugo Schroeter, 56 Broadway, Detroit, who has this matter in charge. Ed. Hampton, representing J. G. Neidinger, was in town last week. Mr. Maynard, manager of the Detroit €ut Flower Supply House, is well pleaSed with trade. S. S. Skidelsky was in the city and met with Fred Breitmeyer and Robert Rahaley at the office of the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange to formulate more extensive plans for the handling of the sales of Carnation Philadelphia, over 60,000 cuttings of which have already been ordered. After viewing the plants at Thomas Browne's houses, Mr. Skidel- sky is so highly elated over the carna- tion, and has so much confidence in it, that all orders are booked with the privilege of canceling them' should the buyer be disappointed after having seen the plants growing.

The close of last week and the open- ing of this one were excellent. The re- ceipts were larger and sales sufficient to take up almost everything offered. March 3 there was a good increase in prices on some lines and a tightening in others. It would take more than a fortune teller to predict as to whether or not this state of affairs will continue. From present indications it seems that the market will be tight for some time to come. However, it may be only temporary, and extremely temporary at that, as has happened many times since the first day of the year. The carnation cut is shortening con- siderably, and this, combined with the big demand, is making the carnation market a good one. Eoses, too, are sell- ing well. The good sweet peas find a ready sale, while short stock must neces- sarily be sold at a low figure. Bulbous stock, both in small blooms and in Easter lilies and callas, continues in a more than sufficient supply. The first, however, are generally of a much better quality than a fortnight ago. Single violets still enjoy a much better call than doubles. The call for valley is only ordinary. The green goods supply is adequate. Various Notes. F. Ben George has opened a store at 3706 Eastern avenue, in the east end. He has absolutely no direct competition in that part of town. C. E. Critchell has been getting in fine lilies and tulips from J. A. Peterson & Sons. The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange has been getting in fine Killarney and Eichmond from Bloomhurst, at Lock- land. Walter Butler, formerly of Chillicothe, is opening a store on Madison avenue, near Woodburn, in Walnut Hills. This makes the fifth retail store in that im- mediate neighborhood. Last week C. E. Critchell and Fred Gear were duly initiated into the Scot- tish Eite. Mr. Critchell also went through the Shrine. E. G.

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. FIBING WITH HAKD COAL. Quite a number of florists in the western part of Pennsylvania, Ohio and, in fact, in all the states where soft coal is used and yet near enough to obtain hard coal, are making the change. Most of them that make this change are hav- ing difficulties because they do not un- •ierstand firing with hard coal, for it is vastly different from firing with soft coal. , Probably the same grate could . be used if it was fine enough mesh to suit the size of coal to be used, as the mesh of the grate depends entirely on the size of coal. If No. 1 buckwheat is used a small mesh is necessary, while if egg or grate coal is used a large mesh would give better results. Some florists use the patent grates; something on the principle of the Dockash, of which a number are in the market. The common, double, straight-barred grate is probably more generally used than any other and is all right if you know how to handle it, but to fire with smaller size coal it is necessary to know how to handle the fire; here lies the whole secret. Below I will give the di- rections how to fire with No. 1 buck- wheat, which would apply to all the smaller sizes, pea and probably chestnut, and I do not know why it should not be applied to the larger sizes. However, we have never used the larger sizes in the vicinity of Scranton for greenhouse heating, as we have so much of the smaller sizes here, and heretofore they have been so cheap compared with the large sizes, that we have always used the small. If anyone will follow out the following principles in firing he will make no mistake, if the gratebar sur- face is large enough to give the results. To a thirty horse-power boiler the grate surface should be 3%x5^ feet, a bricked-in return tubular boiler. I will start my instructions with a new fire, which you would, of course, start with wood, putting on coal a little at a time until you get a bright fire from the coal. It ought not to be more than two inches thick at this time. When it burns up brightly do not put on any more coal STILL ON THE JOB THE STANDARD SPKCIAL , Greenhouse Thentiostat Practically the same as Style I, advertised In last week's Review.

Never touch this fire with the poker until you clean down after it gets this thickness. If you do touch it, thinking you are going to improve it, you will spoil your fire, as the fine ashes will fall into the crevices kept open by your draft; consequently your draft will be choked and your fire of no account.

Take an iron hoe and pull these live coals from the back to the front of the fire, not out, but jusC at the front. Be careful not to pull up the ashes; if you do you will get them mixed with the live coals, which you want to avoid. Then reach over the back of this live coal into the dead ashes and give them a quick jerk out of the fire-box door. After the back of the grate is cleaned off shove these live coals back on the bare grate surface; then proceed to pull the front ashes out. Then scatter the live coals equally over the grate surface; they would probably he one and one-half to two inches thick over the grate ; then sprinkle on a light coating of coal, shut vour door and let the drafts go full blast. You will soon nave heat in abundance.

In bright weather catch the benefit of the afternoon sun, but in milder weather it would not usually have to be done more than once a day. By taking advantage of the afternoon sun the houses will not cool off so much while the fire is down a little. With soft coal, as I understand it, a blaze is obtained in firing. It being full of oils, it burns up something like wood. With hard coal this must never be ex- pected, for the best results will be ob- tained when you get an effect as of an incandescent light appearance, which gires off an intense heat, and by the light firing the carbon is' constantly ignited and burns until the white spots appear and the recoating is necessary. These results can never be obtained by heavy firing with hard coal; by heavy firing I mean a large quantity of coal on the grate at one time. After a fireman has studied these con- ditions he will readily fall into the knack of firing in this way, which he will find easy. G. R. Clark. PROVIDENCE. The Market. Little change is to be noted in the condition of business during the last week, except that the holding back for Easter becomes more apparent, although there is a plentiful supply to meet all demands. Prices are at the lowest ebb, but at the same time superior stock commands good figures. Funeral work is active and numerous small home functions call for enough cut flowers to keep the stock well cleaned up. The indications for Easter are quite prom- ising, both as to supply and quality. Various Notes. '' Mrs. Annie E.

There was plenty of stock in all lines and most of it kept moving in pretty good shape. One large depart- ment store gave away carnations as souvenirs all last week, which helped to keep some of the less good stock from accumulating at the wholesale houses. Various Notes. Word has just been received that William Schmitz, who is located at Thirty-second street and Burnham avenue, forsook bachelorhood about two weeks ago. The A. F. Kellner Co. is getting ma- terial ready preparatory to moving its place of business on Auer avenue about three blocks north from the present lo- cation. This concern has all its decora- tive stock booked for next week, at which time all the department stores wiU have their usual openings. liocker & Son are cutting a good grade of carnations, sweet peas, vio- lets and bulbous stock these days. The C. C. Pollworth Co. reports pros- pects good on the Easter lily proposi- tion. The daily cut of carnations and roses IS good. Word received from Wm. Edlefsen, at Lorane, Ore., one of the pioneer florists of this city, is that he is now in perfect health. The air there has entirely cured his tl^rQl and nasal trouble, which caused him 'considerable inconvenience for some years while re- siding in Milwaukee. The Holton & Hunkel Co. is again V cutting a fine grade of Killarney roses. The Easter lilies at the Brown Deer plant are reported to be in good shape. H. V. Hunkel spent March 2 in Chi- cago and vicinity. Gust Rusch & Co. report no over- supply in the medium grade of roses as yet; just about enough to go around. E. O. Otto Wilke, grower for Fred Kaiser, has been confined to St. Mary's hos- pital since February 26, with blood poisoning of the right arm. Although it seemed quite serious at the first, at this writing he is doing nicely. Sam Seligman, of Wertheimer Bros., is in town. Fort Smith, Ark.— George T.

THE FERTILIZER PROBLEM SOLVED Practically every grower now finds that one of his chief problems Is an adequate supplj flrst-class Fertilizer— the available quantity of barnyard manures is inadequate and street and stable manures are poor, impure and of uncertain value, though expensive. Large growers are meeting the need of a safe, sure, well-balanced fertilizer of unlimited supply by using HINES TANKAGE This fertilizer, used either in the compost or as a top-dressing, not only supplies the neces- sary plant foods, but Improves tfie mechanical condition of the soil.

But wide houses must be built right, not only strong, but right. We know how to build right. Have been doing it for over a quarter of a century.

Some of your customers occasionally complain about quality of materials-don't they? A. It may seem odd, but in all the years we have been making greenhouse woodwork, we have - - never had any cypress material returned to us on account of poor quality.

LION ft COMPANY, 213 Fourth Avenue, NEW YORK J Some Simple Expedients for Easing the Pressure While Increasing the Total of Easter Sales [VERY business has its draw- backs, and in the retail flower trade the difficulties are at least as numerous as in other lines; but of all the handicaps, none is greater than the necessity of doing a whole holiday's selling within a few hours. It is characteristic that people put off ordering flowers almost to the last mo- ment. It is true of funeral flowers, of gift flowers, and of almost all kinds of flowers except, possibly, wedding flow- ers and large decorations. Consequently, any little increase in business means a rush, and any little falling off in trade means almost complete stagnation. With the florist it is either a feast or a famine. The trade in general is so accustomed to the short-notice, rush-order style of business that with the majority no effort is made to get orders early — the retailers act as though they were sat- isfied to take the business when they can get it. But they don't talk that way. One hears a lot of kicks about there being nothing to do up to the last day, and then a rush that cannot be handled. It reminds one of the story used by a florist who was arguing the negative on the proposition that "satis- fied ' ' and ' ' contented ' ' are synonymous — of the same meaning. He. illustrated the difference in meaning by stating that he is satisfied that when he stays at the store all the night before a holiday his wife goes to the theater with an old- time sweetheart — he is satisfied, but not contented. Those florists who are not contented with the natural flow of Easter business are finding several simple expedients for easing the pressure while increasing the volume of Easter sales. A Limit on One Day's Sales. There is a limit to what any man, or set of men, can do in one business <'ay — even though that day be stretched from one morning to the next. When the holiday trade is left to its natural course, the last-day customers are so numerous that they cannot be waited on; every retailer has had the experi- ence of seeing good people walk out the door because they would not wait for the clerks. And every retailer knows that he gets the largest sales out of the buyers who are ordering at their leisuj^. In & crowd a buyer orders what must be had, «nd lets it go at that. If given time to look around, and the attentions of a skillful salesman, a much larger order is obtained. It is extremely bad business to rush one's customers. If you were able to wait on only a certain number of customers the Sat- urday before Easter last year, and some went out without getting attention, you cannot possibly, with the same facili- ties, increase your sales March 22 this year; the only way you can do it is to make some of the sales earlier. Friday you had time. Probably Thursday there was little doing, and Wednesday the Rote Tausendschofu clerks were idle. The plain evidence is that the way to increase the business is to sell earlier. Any number of retail- ers will, when they stop to think of it, admit that the reason the Easter busi- ness does not gro^ faster is because it is all crowded into one day. How, then, are earlier orders to be had! ' - Those who have thought on the sub- ject have found numerous ways. The popularity of pot plants makes it easy to decorate the store earlier than was possible in the old days, when cut flow- ers were principally used. The retailer can just as well have his show present- able the Monday before Easter as to wait until Thursday. Of course it will not be desirable to get in all the Easter stock a full week ahead, but it is worth the loss of a little material to get the business started early. Ways of Waking the Buyers. With the plant display in place and the store dressed up in its holiday at- tire, customers will order freely if you only can get them into the place. The plant baskets are there as samples; the customer is told that he will not receive the identical basket he is looking at, which is a sample, because it will be past its best by Sunday, but that he will receive one exactly like it. It makes the plant selling easy. And cut flowers are cut flowers any day. One can as satisfaetorily take an order for cut flowers on Monday as on Saturday — as satisfactorily, that is, to the cus- tomer. So it gets down to being a problem of getting the customers into the store. Advertising Makes Things Possible. Since retail florists have taken bold of advertising they have found many things possible which had not been con- sidered possible before. The non-adver- tising retailer cannot reach the buyers; he must await their pleasure. But the retailer who has learned that there is profit in telling the story to the public can put his facts before the buyers and shape the trade more or less as he will. As a general proposition, the Easter advertising is too late. It serves only to add to the rush at the last moment. Those who have tried it have found that the advertising is no doubt more effective in the three days before Easter than it is three days earlier; but what is the use of bringing in customers when you cannot satisfactorily wait on them I Consequently, the retailers who use newspaper space are now using it earlier. They are using it to get the early orders, knowing that the natural run of business will keep them busy the la^t few days. ' '- * • One of {he most successful retailers 1^:^.:^ . .£4^^ 36 The Florists' Review Mabch 13, 1913. has had printed a card to mail to his regular customers March 15. It reads to this efifect: Getting the Regulars Early. "In the few days before a holiday, such as Easter, there is a large increase in the transient trade. It therefore is urged that my regular customers place their Easter orders during the first part of the week. During these days the Easter display will be at its best, and regular customers can be waited on without being inconvenienced in their selections by the presence of those who buy flowers only at holidays. Easter display ready Monday, March 17, 1913." This retailer also will do his news- paper advertising March 16 to 18. He knows that by Thursday business will begin naturally and that the rush will increase from hour to hour until during the shopping period of Saturday he will not be able to wait on all the people who enter the store. Conditions Not Unchangeable. This florist is not one of those who believe conditions are unchangeable. Too many act as though they thought that what always has been must always be; they seem to fear to undertake any change from the routine of other years. The day has passed when a florist may prosper by simply sitting still and waiting for business to come his way. The great majority still make a living with no greater effort, but the progress and prosperity goes to those who have adopted modern methods of merchandis- ing. There are dozens of retailers through the country who are forging to the front in their communities through the use of the same methods that are employed in other lines of business, modified to meet the needs of the flower trade. They do not wait for custom- ers; they go out, one way or another, after the customers. The first response may not be heavy or prompt, but it is an old saying that ' ' Every little helps, ' ' or that "Every little added to what you 've got makes just that much more. ' ' Also that "Keeping everlastingly at it brings success." It is possible to educate the flower buyers to buy early and to buy often. just as it is possible to educate break- fast-food users to call for a certain brand when they visit the grocer. An Opportunity to Co&perate. The cooperative advertising that is being done by the florists in a number of cities offers one 6f the best means of correcting the tendency to crowd all the business into one day. One of the advantages of the cooperative advertis- ing is that it not only permits the use of larger space than the individual ordi- narily feels he can afford, but it seems to carry a greater weight from the fact that it is the concerted action of the leading members of the trade in a given vicinity. This extra weight should by all means be turned toward starting the business early, as well as toward arousing additional interest in flowers. As a matter of fact, under the condi- tions of the past it is more important to get the buyers started early than it is to increase the volume of business offered at the last moment. The Retailer's Part. The retailer himself should not leave everything until the last moment. Too many do it. They give the newspaper sixteen minutes in which to get up an advertisement before going to press, when nothing would be lost and much might be gained by allowing the print- ers several days for their part of the work. The retailer gets quotations from several wholesalers on his Easter needs in cut flowers, but he waits until the day of shipment and then orders by wire. The Easter plants are ordered at the last moment, when the shipper has more than he can do, are a day late in arriving and the whole operation is hur- ried and haphazard. A holiday rush reminds one of a catch-as-catch-can wrestling match, except that the par- ticipants are not in good training. There isn't the slightest need for it. In each and every branch of the business it is possible to act in time, so that one's own work need not be hurried and so that ample time for best service can be given to everyone from whom the flo- rists get supplies. It is common to hear, "Well, I am glad it's over," after a flower holiday. and the larger the business the speaker does, the more certain he is to make some such remark. It's all because no effort is made to push the business in- stead of letting the business push you. EASTEB PLANT ABBANGEMENTS. Harmony in Materials. The success of plants for Easter uses has depended most of all upon the skill with which. the florist selected the stock to be combined. It makes all the dif- ference in the' world whether an appro- priate receptacle is chosen. There must be harmony between the plants and the basket, or the plant business will not come up to expectations. On the other hand, where the retailer possesses the real artistic instinct, the sale of the Easter plant combinations only is lim- ited by the florists' opportunities of bringing them to the attention of the buying public. In this issue there are a number of illustrations showing Easter plant ar- rangements. Some are better than oth- ers, but each one shows some point which can be profitably applied to the production of similar, yet dissimilar, arrangements. The illustration on page 27 shows two low baskets of hyacinths. The one at the left was a pink variety and with it only ericas and adiantum were used. In the basket at the right the hyacinths were blue and the ribbon was carefully chosen for a harmonious shade of lav- ender. Of course both baskets were fitted with the metal pans, now to be had with practically everything of this character. Size, shape and coloring all were carefully considered. A Popular Bose. The illustration on page 28 shows two plants of Hiawatha rose, one trained in balloon shape and the other grown as a standard. These require no embellish- ment other than a pot cover, which must b0 chosen to produce an air of solidity, for the plants are large and heavy; a light, fussy pot cover would give a top-heavy appearance. On page 29 there is a boat-shaped wil- low basket that would be nowhere near Low Baikrtf of Tulipt Have Become a Popular Form of Easter Plant Arrangement.

The proportions are excellent. The only improvement would be the addition of ribbon. This basket was filled with Hexe azalea, a Clothilde Soupert rose, a Dorothy Perkins, some Superbissima fern and a Japanese maple. The big 'basket on page 29 was an arrangement photographed last Easter in one of the leading Chicago flower stores. It sold for $25, and of course is too large for use in the average retail place, for more plant arrangements will be sold at from $3 to $7.50 than at any higher prices. However, these big show pieces are good advertising, even if they are too expensive to be sold. This bas- ket was filled with hydrangeas and with a white rambler rose trained over the handle. In the front the variegated foliage is a funkia and peeping from the back is a lily. The ribbon was light blue, chosen because of the color of the hydrangea flowers. On page 25 is a Tausendschon rose. This has come to the front as possibly the one best-selling variety. The En- glish of the name would be Thousand Beauties and there literally are that many fascinations about a well-grown, well-flowered specimen. The one shown in the illustration, though it is not es- pecially apparent in the cut, had too large a pot cover. It was one of tht3 adjustable variety, too hurriedly chosen. A smaller size would have greatly im- proved the appearance of, the plant. Tulips in Low Baskets. Low, wide baskets of tulips are shown in the illustration on page 26. These are ready sellers. Of course the bas- kets were tin lined, for it is the tin containers that have made such plant arrangements possible; no one would want them if they were leaky or even scattery. The basket at the left was filled with red tulips. Note the way the bareness of the base is relieved by the use of adiantum. The basket at the right was filled with Murillo, possibly the commonest Easter tulip. The pussy- willows appeal to some and add variety. The ribbon might be either white or pink. Selaginella was used to fill the void between the edge of the basket and the tulips. "What would Easter be without the lily? High-toned stores that cater to the most select trade do not nowadays use so large a proportion of lilies as they did a few years ago; they have cut down on the lilies while adding variety to their stock by using other plants. But no flower store could be without lilies at Easter. There are more kinds of lilies than there are flower stores; almost as many as there are flower buy- ers. Doubtless there will be department stores selling lilies in clay pots, un- washed, at 29 cents per plant, and there will be thousands of good stores selling neatly arranged and carefully handled lily baskets at 25 cents per flower, with an extra charge for the receptacle. The florist supplies what his customers want — quality and price. The illustration on page 31 shows 'wo good lily arrange- ments. At the left is a single plant in a low, green willow basket, with some adiantum and hyacinths planted around the base of the lily. At the right is a large white basket, tin lined, in which three lily plants were made up. Each retailer will elaborate or modify accord- ing to his needs. Some Changes in Plant Vogue. On page 30 is an illustration which shows two of the new French hydran- geas. At the left is Lorraine, pink, and at the right, Avalanche, white. So good a judge of plants as E. Wienhoeber has been quoted as saying that these new varieties will put the old Otaksa out of business as an Easter plant, and the growers who have tried them endorse the retailer's view. The supply this season is much larger than that of last year. Azaleas will not this Easter cut as much figure as has been the case in other years — the trade does not seem to be able to handle it so profitably as in times gone by. The supply is not large this season, much lesls than usual, in spite of the early date of Easter, which should be in favor of good and plentiful azaleas. While some impor- tant firms have ceased to handle the plant, the probability is that a reaction will come in a year or two and that then larger quantities than ever will be forced. EASTEB CUT FLOWERS. A Beaction Is in Progress. One of the interesting developments in the trade has been the reaction from plants toward cut flowers. For a num- ber of years it has been the report that ' * this was more than ever a plant Easter," but in the better class of stores there has, for a couple of sea- sons, been a noticeable increase in the sale of cut flower arrangements; the public taste evidently is changing again. Not that plants are any less popular but that cut flowers are sharing more evenly in the increased business. Perhaps the increased sale of cut flowers is in some measure due to more reasonable prices, for the tendency now- adays is not to advance holiday values as formerly was done; but the chances are that a good share of the increase is due to the better methods the retail- ers are using in showing and selling cut stock. Until quite recently no re- tailer thought of offering cut flowers otherwise than put up in a box. But now the leading stores show them taste- fully arranged in baskets, and they sell the baskets with the flowers. In a good many cases the person delivering the flowers is competent to arrange them for the recipient. The basket and the 28 The Florists^ Review Mabch 13, 1913. arrangement both are important factors in the sale. Easter Fashions in Cut Flowers In this issue there are a number of illustrations showing cut flower ar- rangements of this character. The most pretentious of these is the big basket shown on pa^e .33. The store in which this was photographed last Easter sold it for $25. It was a large white bas- ket, decorated with a wreath of flow- ers. Of course it had a tin lining. The decorator filled the liner with crossed twigs, which made it possible for him to insert his flower stems in water al- most as he would have done in moss. The stock used was all spring flowers, including almost everything the season affords. Possibly the best sellers prove to be the baskets shown on page 34. At the left is an ivory finished basket filled with Mrs. Aaron Ward rosea. The handle carried a bow of good quality ribbon that exactly matched the roses. The supply houses new furmish splen- did matches in all the leading flower colors. At the right is a straw basket with a glass container. The color was yellow, with a green handle with a cute little bow at the top. The flowers were open Maryland roses, with a few tight buds, and some valley, inexpensive but extremely attractive. On page 35 the basket at the left was a fine seller. It was one of those dou- ble-barreled affairs of willow, with deep tin lining, making it possible to use long-stemmed roses. Those photo- graphed were Ehea Reid and the ribbon was Reid red. At the right was one of the Japanese straw baskets filled with mixed roses. Such combinations do not appeal to all tastes, but in some neigh- borhoods this basket of roses as shown at the right was a good seller. Some Excellent Sellers. On page 32 the illustration shows three simple little affairs that were good sellers. At the left the basket vase contained pink sweet peas. In the cen- ter Cattleya Trianse and lily of the val- ley are shown. The basket at the right was filled with Wilhelmina tulips and poet's narcissi. For the customer wanting something out of the ordinary the cut flower bas- ket shown on page 33 was provided. This was of Japanese straw, champagne color, with ribbon to match. Shaped like the schoolgirl's book bag, it con- tained a tin lining. The material used was cut sprays of Azalea mollis, Spiraea Gladstone and Japanese maple. PLANTS AND THEIK CASE. How to Handle Easter Stock. Next in importance to growing or buying good plants is the importance of giving them proper care when they reach the store, and proper packing when sent out to customers. Eastei comes at an unusually early date this year, in a month notoriously treacherous as to weather, so we should be prepared to give plants all necessary wrapping. We may be fortunate enough to have balmy weather just prior to the great floral festival, but of this we can never be sure. Of course, mild weather Rote Hiawatha is One of the Popular Easter Sei/ers. means a great saving in labor incidental to wrapping plants, but it would be wise to lay in an abundant supply of news- papers and other wrapping material. Better cover more heavily than may seem necessary, rather than have qom- plaints coming in of chilled and trifzen plants. Clean pots and careful stalling and watering are other details wjiich should be attended to. The grower who sends dirty pots to the store deserve^ to lose trade, yet some of them persisjt in doing it. No wonder they are passed in the race hy their more up-to-date competitors. \ - '- . • •• I - The Easter Lilies. ! Lilies are, of course, the most impor- tant of all Easter plants, and if one plant only is wanted it will probably be a lily. A large quantity are jthis season being subjected to hard forcing in efforts to flower them on time, f his means that many plants will carry flow- ers much lacking in substance and which are likely to suffer severely in a stoije if subjected to draughts and a moderately low temperature. Look over the pleats daily and remove all pollen masse^ to keep the flowers clean. Few of ; the giganteums should need any staking, but the taller growing Formosas and some of the multiflorums will reqiiire it. There is quite a call for made-up lilies in lO-inch to 12-inch pots or deep pans. It is always best to let the plants have the flowers about ready to open before making up. A lot of the soil can be shaken off or washed away with the hose. If the roots are not too much dis- turbed the plants will show little ill effect. Be sure, however, to keep the soil moist. In packing lilies, be sure to first wrap tissue paper about the flow- ers, and be careful when covering the spikes that they are not tied tight, so that the flowers will be bryised. Bambler Boses. Some rambler roses are likely to be rather lightly flowered this season and will show the effects of hard forcing. They are among the most popular of Easter plants. The old Crimson Ram- bler led the procession years ago, but it is not now much seen, the pink varieties having secured a commanding lead. A few years ago white was the predomi- nant Easter color. Outside of lilies this does not hold good now. Perhaps the greatest seller of all is Dorothy Perkins, but the newer Tausendschon pushes it hard for leading place. This latter proves a great seller. Unlike the majority of ramblers, this sort has a pleasing fragrance. Juniata, light pink, is a fine thing, as is Lady Gay. As a red we have nothing today superior to Hiawatha, with its bright red single flowers and rich, shiny foliage. Wed- ding Bells, American Pillar, White Dor- othy and Farquhar are all fine Easter varieties. Then in the so-called baby rambler, or dwarf class, we now have quite a range of shades, from dark red to pure white. The original Mme. Nor- bert Levavasleur has not a good color, but Mrs. Cutbush, Orleans, Catherine Zeimet, Phyllis and others are all of delightful shades. All the ramblers need a generous water supply. One drying out will severely cripple them, so be sure they never approach this stage. In the case of hybrid perpetual and hybrid tea roses in pots, it is not easy to time them to a nicety and it may be necessary to forward or retard them to March 13, 1013. The Florists^ Review 29 An Easter Plant Gmibioation of Hyclran|;eas and Rotes. hold them in the beat possible condition for Easter. Frau Karl Druschki, Sun- burst, Killarney, Brunner and Magna Charta are among the favorites in these classes. Hold plants which are well ex- panded in a cold, shaded house, but avoid cold air currents, which are al- ways liable to produce mildew. Oenlstas. No matter whether grown naturally, trimly sheared, or as standards, genistas make popular Easter plants. They are not good house plants when compared with rambler roses, azaleas or spiraeas, one week usually completely finishing them in a warm room. They sell well, however, and stand quite a low tempera- ture without showing any ill effects. They are easy plants to pack, as they can be pulled together closely without being damaged in the least. Do not place these in the store too many at a time, for it does not take many days to give them a jaded appearance. Do not stint them on water j they need an abundant supply.. Hydrangeas. Hydrangeas do not sell so freely at Easter as at Memorial day. Until re- cently H. Otaksa has been the only form of hortensis much in evidence in the plant markets, but the newer French hybrids are catching on wonderfully. Mme. Emile Mouillere is a beautiful white, Mousseline has mauve rose flow- ers, Bouquet Eose is a bright pink, Mile, de Tremault a superb white. General de Vibraye is a bright rose and La Lor- raine is rose, turning bright pink. These are half a dozen new sorts which will be considerably in evidence in future years. Hydrangeas can hardly be 'over- watered and it will pay to keep saucers below them to prevent drying out. Azaleas. There are always heavy sales of aza- leas at Easter, and both the colored and white varieties take well. The double white Niobe now takes the lead over Deutsche Perle, which latter is supreme in its color for Christmas. Apollo, double scarlet; Simon Mardner, double pink; Varvseneana, Paul Weber, -?5Te- fly. Empress of India and Vander Cruys- sen, to say nothing of the newer varie- ties, are good sorts to carry. There are some sorts with colors somewhat out of the beaten track, rosy lilac or lavender, particularly, which critical customers will buy in preference to the varieties most commonly offered. Few plants are more generally satisfactory than aza- leas in the dwelling. With a little picking over they are easily kept pre- sentable for two or three weeks, which is longer than the general run of Easter plants last. Acacias. Of all the hard-wooded plants, none are more beautiful than the acacias. Outside of A. paradoxa (armata) they are not offered at so low prices as other hard-wooded stock, their culture being more difficult. Quite a few varieties are now offered commercially. The peerless A. pubescens is seen only in limited quantities and many more could be sold. Armata, pendula, heterophylla, Biceana, cultriformis and Bailey ana all. make good Easter plants. In the case of A. armata the flowers should not be too much open prior to Easter; once the flowers become brown they spoil the ap- pearance of the plant, and in order to make such plants salable these discol- ored flowers should be removed. Never allow acacias to become dry, and ad- vise customers purchasing them to give them a liberal water supply; also, if they want to keep them in fresh condi- tion as long as possible, to give them as cool a room as they can. Spiraeas. For purchasers of moderate means, spiraeas are always popular. They can be profitably grown and sold at a com- paratively low price and make a really satisfactory house plant provided they get an ample water supply. While many plants will keep sufficiently moist with one good watering a day in the average living room, spiraeas must have two soakings or they will shrivel up. In A Well Proportioned Arrangement of Easter Plants. i 30 The Florists^ Review Maech 13, 1913. fact, they scarcely can be overwatered, and in place of the tag ' ' Water this plant every day," let it read "Water this plant twice a day. ' ' The old S. Japonica, while still grown considera- bly, is much inferior to such kinds as Gladstone, grandiflora compacta and astilboides, while the beautiful pink va- rieties, Queen Alexandra and Peach Bloasom, will bring even higher prices. These latter cannot be had in the best condition for Easter. They come better for Memorial day, but a good many are being grown for the coming Easter. To hold their beautiful color, keep them out of the sun when opening. Any spiraeas which are late can be given a night temperature of 70 degrees and copious water supplies. Such plants, however, must not be suddenly removed to a low temperature, or they will surely suffer. Dutch Bulbous Plants. The early Easters suit Dutch bulbs well, for by being grown along cool they become nice and stocky. For late East- ers retarding has to be done and taller plants are the result. It should not be necessary to support any of the bulbs, if properly grown. However, if sup- ports are required, use green painted stakes and green raffia, which will be comparatively inconspicuous. Such double tulips as Murillo and Couronne d 'Or, and singles like Keizerskroon, Queen of the Netherlands, Yellow Prince, La Reine, Flamingo, Pink Beauty and Duchess of Parma are popu- lar. Victoria among the bicolor, large trumpet narcissi, easily leads. It is a stocky flower. Emperor may need a little support, but Golden Spur stands up well. If the hyacinth spikes are well advanced, give a little support to them to prevent breaking. All bulbs in flower can be easily retarded in a cold pit. Late ones can be forced, but it is always at the expense of stockiness. These Dutch bulbs, being so hardy, can be stood outside the store and will not suffer from drying, cold winds as would spiraeas, ramblers or any of the forced deciduous • shrubs. Earthenware and wooden boxes made up with bulbs, with some small ferns or asparagus planted in with them, will be found quite salable. Primula Obconica. While some retailers taboo the prim- rose. Primula obconica, on account of the danger of poisoning from its leaves, it remains one of the most popular of moderate priced Easter plants. It is now in splendid condition and in little fancy baskets or hampers with a few pussy willows added it has a delightful spring effect. Of the various colors, the clear, bright pink is the best and will sell far better than either the pure white or bluish shades. Pick off any of the decayed flowers on the plants to give them a perfectly fresh appearance, and remember that they need a liberal water supply. One real drying out will mean the shriveling of nearly all the flowers. Cyclamens. For late Easters it is not easy to have cyclamens in good shape. This year they are exceptionally fine. Of course, to hold them back a cold house will have been necessary, but if they have been grown cold and airy, even as low as 40 degrees at night, they should be stocky and bristling with flowers and buds. Cyclamens cannot be as easily and cheaply grown as primulas, but any well-grown plant, provided it is of the large flowered type, will usually sell on sight. Cyclamens need a moderate water supply and do not dry up so fast as primulas and many other plants. Bhododendrons. Rhododendrons are not grown to any- thing like the extent of azaleas. They are of larger size than the latter and cannot be handled in small pots. The most popular Easter variety, and for that matter the finest of all for pot cul- ture, is that beautiful pink sort, Pink Pearl. There is never enough of this to go around, although, being as yet com- paratively scarce, it cannot be sold at as low prices as old sorts like Cunning- ham's White, roseum elegans, Charles Dickens and Boule de Neige. The rho- dodendrons should be well hardened off before being removed to a store or the flowers will wilt badly. Remember that these in common with other h&rd- wooded plants have fine, hair-like roots and must never become in the least dry at the root. ; Deciduous Flowering Shrubs. In this class are a number of varie- ties which always appeal to flower con- noisseurs, being peculiarly suggestive of spring. Lilacs are more grown than any other variety, ahd at this advanced sea- son, by being grown in full light all the time arid well hardened off, they haVe splendid foliage. It is noted that the pink and lavender shades sell better at Easter than the white ones. Marie Le- graye, single white, and Mme. Lemoide, double white, are the leaders of this color. If white and pink, or white and blue varieties are made up in large, rather deep hampers and sprays ,of mountain laurel are used to cover their lower stems, they look charming. Other deciduous shrubs in favor are the orna- mental crabapples, peaches and almonds. Care should be taken not to have these too fully expanded, for once the petdls start to drop they are not easy to sell. Deutzias, wistarias, staphyleas, Cratae- gus, forsythias and Azalea mollis are other popular plants. The last named, with its glorious shades of color, is easily the most popular and a group in any window produces a most charming effect. All these deciduous shrubs, if gradually hardened off, or grown cool, will stand a quite low temperature. Lily of the VaUey. A sufficient lot of well-grown lily of the valley in 6-inch or 7-inch pots rarely comes in at Easter. It cannot be prof- itably sold so cheaply as tulips or daffodils, but well foliaged plants carry- ing strong spikes, placed in suitable re- ceptacles, will sell before almost any other plants. The hard forced stock with a little pale foliage and drawn-up flower spikes is wanted by no one. Sala- ble plants should be grown in the light from the time the pips are three or four inches high. Then they will be a credit to anyone. Two of the New French Hydrangeai that Promiie to Displace Otakta at an Easter Pot Plant, Wf March 13, 1013. The Florists^ Review 31 The Lily no Looker is the Whole Thing at Easter, but it Still is Indispensable, in Pots or Cut. Marguerites. The fine varieties of marguerites, Queen Alexandra and Mrs. P. Sander, make great Easter plants. They do not bloom so profusely as the older and smaller flowered sorts, but their big flowers rivet attention at once. Mar- guerites stand considerable rough treat- ment, provided always they have water in abundance at the roots. In addition to the plants of large specimen size, small plants carrying a few flowers in 4-inch or 5-inch pots are salable and pretty effects can be produced with them in baskets and boxes. The yellow varieties do not make as shapely plants as the white ones, or they also would be in demand. Cinerarias. For a cheap Easter plant, the cinera- ria is in the front rank. Its many-hued flowers are hard to arrange pleasingly with other plants. Better stand them in a group by themselves in the store or greenhouse. As they do not like inuch sunshine, give them a shaded po- sition, and if instead of mixing the colors up indiscriminately, the whites, pinks, light blues, dark blues and reds are grouped together, the effect will be much more pleasing. Orchids. For high-class trade some of the more popular orchids cannot well be over- looked. While this is not the height of the orchid season, a fair assortment IS now to be had and some of these can be sold at a moderate price. Late plants of Cattleya Trianse can still be had, while C. Schroederae is in good crop. Dendrobium nobile in its many forms and D. Wardianum are beautiful varie- ties. If white flowers are wanted, noth- ing could be better than Coelogyne cris- tata, while in cypripediums the old C. villosum, Sallieri and others are to be had. One thing about orchids is that cost may be comparatively high but the flowers have great lasting properties. A drying out will not harm the plants at all and they can be carried over and flowered again if necessary. INTEENATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. The board of management has made the following dates for meetings of the societies cooperating in the show at New York: April 7. Society of American Florists. April 8. American Rose Society. April 9.

You would do me a great favor if you would let me know of a nursery where I can buy some good sized orange trees for planting in a greenhouse, to be grown for the fruit. When would be the best time to plant them? T. N. You should secure these from one of the firms in Florida or California which make a specialty of growing them. Such firms as Beasoner Bros., of the Royal Palm Nurseries, Oneco, Fla., could supply you. Winter is the proper time to secure the plants. C. W. Nantucket, Mass.— Robert B. King says funeral work has been unpriece- dentedly heavy in the last few weeks and speaks in praise of the prompt service obtained on telegraph orders sent to Boston for stock.

The sun is becoming more powerful and it will be necessary to give the glass a thin shadiAg, just sufficient to break the direct rays. The temptation to put on a heavier coating is strong when we get a brilliant day, suggestive of the tropics, but these in March are usually borrowed days and followed by dark, cold spells more closely re- sembling the arctics. Potting should be pushed ahead with C. Trianse and any other species need- ing it. Bather coarse and wiry fern fiber is better than the soft, spongy kind for cattleyas, as it wears longer, and be sure to firm the plants thorough- ly, whatever receptacle they are grow- ing in. No cattleya or other orchid loosely potted will ever thrive. Potting, when properly done, should enable any- one to pick a cattleya up by the bulbs and move it without disturbing the compost. It is a good plan when repotting to also clean the cattleyas. Use a brush that will reach right down between the top of the bulb and the leaf and clean any scale out thoroughly. This scale also will fasten itself on the bulbs and must be forcibly removed. Such insecticides as Aphine, Firtree oil and Imperial soap are all good for this purpose. • As C. Trianae passes out of flower we will be dependent on C. Sehroederse, now coming into season. This cattleya is pale in color and for some reason has never become popular. It, how- ever, is a beautiful variety and fills in the gap nicely until Mossiee and Mendellii come in season. A few Mossiee are already opening and soon there will be a good display of this easily grown and free flowering early summer orchid. A night temperature of 58 to 60 degrees will suffice for cattleyas, giving such varieties as gigas, Dowiana and Mossia; the warm end of the house except when in flower. "Watering of newly potted stock must be done sparingly until the roots are taking hold of the new compost. Better always to underwater rather than over- water orchids. Growing plants will now need more abundant supplies. All watering should be done in the morn- ing, and in spraying over on clear days plan to have the foliage dry before nightfall. Keep a sharp watch for cattleya fly; it usually comes on C. labiata, but will attack practically all varieties. Ab- normally swelled growths show the presence of the pest and the only rem- edy, a radical one, is to cut these off, cut them open and burn them. Fumigation may kill a few, as will fly papers, but the only real remedy is to cut open the growths. Phalsenopsis. At this season the beautiful moth orchid, the phalaenopsis, makes a truly magnificent show. It is such a fine and popular commercial orchid that it is not surprising to find more growers taking hold of it. In California, where the phalsenopsis is largely grown, it vies with the cattleya in popularity. Its culture is looked upon as difficult and comparatively few growers have handled it. It is true it needs some fussingorer, but given plenty of moist heat, a position near the glass, and suitable shade, there ara no special difficulties attending its culture. The phalsenopsis resents direct currents of air; anything like a draught is harmful, so ventilation must be carefully given. It succeeds well in pots, pans or bas- kets, but rather deep, cylindrical bas- kets are particularly good. It also thrives nicely on blocks with some fern fiber and sphagnum securely fast- ened to them. Just now the beautiful, much branched pink variety, P. Schilleriana, is in flower. Fifty to sixty flowers are not uncommon on this sort, sometimes as many as seventy-five to 100 being produced. The exquisite white forms, grandiflora, Bimestadiana and amabilis, are all now in season. It is unwise to leave the fully expanded spikes on the plants too long, as they" severely cripple them. A night temperature of 65 to 68 de- grees must be maintained, but on se- verely cold, windy nights it can be allowed to drop to 60 to 62 degrees. On dull days a temperature of 70 to 72 degrees should be kept, while on bright days it can be advanced to 80 degrees, with ventilation. Sponge the leaves occasionally with tepid water as a preventive of thrips and red spide? and keep a moist atmosphere, but keep water oflF the flowers, which soon be- come spotted; also be careful not to play the hose on steam or hot water pipes. Steam in the atmosphere will soon spot the white-flowered sorts. OUTLOOK FOB BULB GBOWING. Bight at the start comes forward the question, can any business be overdone? It can be answered by yes or no. The usual can be overdone, the best never. The way of the great majority often is clogged, but that of the painstaking few hardly ever. How is it with Europe! Many years ahead of us in growing, with far cheaper labor and still longer experi- ence, they are increasing their out- put year by year. But I think we can well stop a moment and take a look at the environment. We have an immense country, a population that is growing faster than production along food lines. Luxuries sometimes have to wait a bit. Flowers, the product of bulbs, are among the luxuries. Sometimes lux- 9 C 1 Sweet Peai, Orcbids, Valley, ToHpt and Narciwi in Easter Cot Flower Baskets. ■ > t^uTV^ - ' ,■ ^'^ '' ■•^ST' r5i-« ,ij,j u'iHjai^npp;;pii||j|!^Ji.Mi^l'l.;^,>i.i(.ww|«'l>>i)in!K>i>.'-'i)<«lw.in(vri. fU" ,»w,^ {^Kabch 18, 1013. The Florists' Review 33 This was a Big Basket of Mixed Spring Flowen. aries prove, in the end, to be necessi- ties. Such is the position flowers are in today. They are gradually becoming a necessity and will gain just so fast as intelligence and a love for the beau- tiful fasten themselves upon the peopje as a whole. Therefore, I take it that the future of bulb growing depends as much upon the intelligent, honest and painstaking grower as on any other factor. Put up the square deal on what you sell, the same as you insist upon receiving. Right along by the side of this put publicity for what you have to sell. No need to misrepresent or exaggerate the beauty of any flower. They came from the hand of the perfect One, and not by any jumping:jack, haphazard evolution. Put these two influences to- gether and we never need fear the overproduction of any really valuable flower. Show the people the value and thej will not only appreciate our ef- forts but will reward us financially. I believe the business of bulb grow- ing has struck a snag, if ''you will allow such an expression, and it is now up to the straightforward producer of good stock, with honest methods of handling and selling, to set the trade straight and reap the reward. The people of this country are being edu- cated faster than many realize. They are also watching the advertisements «f the goods, making comparisons, as It were, in the quiet of the hoiiii/ This f"onsultation, often around the fireside, necide^ the route fey which the next are learning it and some are profiting by honesty and sincerity. The grower suffers somewhat in com- parison with the producers of many of the necessities of life. His results largely depend on weather and he must plant, care for and harvest with this fact in constant view. His business is " largely dominated bv faith, but with that faith, borne upward by the reward that surely comes if faithful, he works on year after year with an abiding happiness that conquers all. In the bulb in which we are all more or less interested, the gladiolus, we have a good example. Year after year the bulbleta are planted with scarcely any regard to good or ill re- sults. Consequently the small or weak ones go in with the rest, and stock is kp^r* thereby. This is being remedied in some caMtR. This can be largely remedied by sifting the bulblets. Do- ing away with this evil will help the general stock. Carry this principle all along down the long row of bulbous flowers and the far-reaching results would in time surprise. I think we need have no fear of overproduction of good stock of any bulb, but we cer- tainly must have more care for selec- tion, the eradication of disease, and good keeping. The seed-corn growers are beating us by miles in carefulness and selection. New things are desirable, but the old standards have not lost their value. Twice two still makes only four, and it is fair to conclude 'twill so remain. I think we can reasonably say, put out good stock, be fair about the price, insist upon getting value received, but deliver the goods, and we need have no fear of the future in growing any bulb the market calls for.

I want them to bloom next winter. If this method of procedui-e is wrong, kindly tell me how to go abotit it to get flowering plants next winter. Is the c^op continuous aftfer they once commence to bloom? A. E. B. Your plants have been started a lit- tle early for next winter's crop. If you. have any vacant bench it would pay you better to plant them out now, placing them twelve inches apart each way, and get a crop of flowers through May and June. If topped once, the plants will send up five or six shoots eadh, all of which should be allowed to remain. An additional batch of seed, sown now, will give you good plants by the end of April, which can at that tiihe be planted out in the field, kept headed back, lifted and benched in the early part of August for winter flower- ing. Geo. E. Buxton, a successful grow- er of Silver Pink snapdragons, puts ea«h plant in a strawberry box, which he covers about one inch', and when lifting he thus gets a good ball of roots and the plants sustain little check. Of course, cuttings inserted now will also make you nice little stock to plant out about the last of April. Snapdragons do not mind a little frost and should be planted out earlier than such stock as geraniums, verbenas and petunias. C. W. SOWING SPSENGEBI SEED. Please let me know how to treat Asparagus Sprengeri seed to get the best results. Of some fresh seed that I sowed, only a small percentage ger- minated. C. B. Asparagus seed should be sown in shallow flats, containing about two and one-half to three inches of soil. A good rule to follow in regard to the depth of soil with which to cover the seeds, is to use enough to cover them- about the diameter of the seeds, or, in the case of asparagus, generally to cover them with about a quarter of an inch of soil. A thin coveriog of sand will answer well, and will keep the sur- face of the soil from baking hard. Place the flats in a temperature of 65 degrees and keep them moist, but not sodden, and there should be no trouble in germinating the seeds, pro- viding they are fresh, W. H. T. PRINCESS OF WALES VIOLETS. , When and how should Princess of Wales violets be watered and sprayed, and what ventilation is necessary dur- ing and after the process! What are the best temperatures in which to grow themf During the month of Decem- ber should they be treated different- ly? How can aphis and red spider best be fought? What is the effect of too much heat and closed ventilators on that violet? - E. L. Morning is the best time to do any necessary watering. Never allow vio- lets to become in the least dry at the root, or they will suffer severely and fall an easier prey to red spider. When you do water, give a thorough soaking. The proper night tempera- ture for single violets is 40 degrees; it should not exceed 42 degrees. No dif- ferent treatment should be given in December, with the idea of increasing the pick. No spraying should be given except near heating pipes, where spider is lia-, ble to attack the plants. Spray with nicotine or Aphine for green aphis, or fumigate with one of the tobacco pa- pers. Violets will not stand heavy fumigation. They want abundant ven- tilation. Only on the coldest nigh 1 3 should the ventilators be closed. Tco much heat and closed ventilators will mean flowers off color, a heavy cro of leaves, plenty of insect peats and au early runnin* out of the plants. C. W. DOUBLE VIOLETS IN POTS. Can anyone tell me how to grow double violets in pots to sell to locfd trade? I once saw some that carried- about seventy-five flowers to a pot an 1 they were beautiful. My location is western Massachusetts. A. F. J. Good field-grown plants should be dug up and potted in 6-inch or 7-inch pots in August. Place in a coldframe at first, keep freely aired and spray occa- sionally until established. Place in a cool greenhouse in September, giving a night temperature as near 45 degrees as possible. Bather let the heat run a little lower than higher in winter. Use soil such as you would grow roses or mums in, with a good proportion of decayed cow manure. Feed with liquid manure occasionally when they are well rooted in pots. You will find Lady Hume Campbell the best variety to grow. C. W. EUROPEAN NOTES. American readers are undoubtedly aware of the extraordinary outrage that was recently perpetrated by militant suffragettes at Kew Gardens. The glass in two orchid houses was broken and hundreds of valuable or- chids were torn from their pots and trampled under foot. An envelope bearing the words, "Votes for Women," was found among the wreck- age of glass and flower pots and the greenhouses had the appearance of hav- ing been swept by a terrible storm. Just how this outrage is to help women to obtain votes is difficult to conceive. The damage is estimated at $1,000.

Wilks; also upon James Whitton, superintendent of the Glasgow parks, and W. H. Divers, gardener at Belvoir Castle, a well knoWn gardener and writer on gardening subjects. David King, nurseryman, Edinburgh, who has succeeded W. H. Massie, seed merchant, Edinburgh, as president of the Scottish Horticultural Association, del^tred his inaugural address Febru- ary^. His subject was "Recent Ad- vanceir in Horticulture," and he ex- pressed the opinion that such advances had been more along scientific lines than on practical lines. Britain had al- ways stood high in practical horticul- ture and it was difficult to say that there had been much advance during the last half century.

You were kind and prompt in getting me the desired information regarding the pest on Rhea Reid roses for which I wrote you, . and for which I thank you. I am now writing to ask you for information through your paper regard- ing the culture of gardenias in the bench: also, how many blooms one should get per plant, and the average selling, pricji^er Mopm W.^^. ^, now be in sand or potted off. They will root in a month with a brisk bottom heat in a night temperature of 70 de- grees. Cuttings require frequent water- ing; in fact, with fairly coarse sand they can scarcely be overwatered. Keep the young plants close and shaded until established in the pots, which should be 2%-inch or 2%-inch. Later a shift can be given into 3i^-inch pots, although if the bench is ready they can go there direct. Gardenias want a light house, piped so that an absolute minimum of 65 to 70 degrees can be maintained with ease. I prefer to have the pipes below the benches, but near the ground, so as to afford some bottom heat. Use good drainage in the benches and for com- post two-thirds fibrous loam to one- third dry, lumpy cow manure. To this can be added some broken charcoal and coarse sand. Gardenias want a porous soil, through which water will readily pass. If this is not given the soil will become sour and the yellows will ap- pear sooner or later. Five inches of soil is ample. Set the plants fifteen inches apart in the rows and let the rows be twenty-four inches apart. Leave a lit- tle saucer about each plant and water in these for a time, until the roots are running through the soil freely. Too much water may bring on the yellows. Gardenias enjoy a brisk, moist heat. Mealy bug and other pests can be con- trolled by the judicious use of the hose. Right through the growing season spray the plants over in the afternoon and close up so as to have a warm, moist growing atmosphere. Always avoid any- thing like overwatering. Pinch the lit- tle plants once or twice as needed and, before they become too much grown, support by a wire stake, to which some of the stronger shoots can be tied. Some growers use no stakes, but it pays to have them. As autumn approaches, with colder "nights, use great care in watering.

Syringe on bright days, just often enough to keep the plants clean. A top-dressing of Clay's fertilizer mixed with some soot, loam and leaf-mold, not too much decayed, will bring a network of feeding roots on the surface. This form of feeding is preferable to using liquid manures. A small number of growers only are successful in flowering gardenias in winter, the time they bring highest prices. Anyone can flower them in spring and early summer. Values run all the way from $6 to $50 per hundred at wholesale. Few bring the highest price, and then only at the holidays. A fair winter price is $25 for good flow- ers with 12-inch to 18-inch stems. Short stems bring, of course, much less. The production per plant is hard to give. Those flowering in winter give far fewer blooms than such as are kept for spring crops, but it is in winter that they bring the highest prices; still there is a demand for good gardenias in the big markets the year around. C. W. THE RETAIL I FLORIST I EXPENSE OF BETAIL DELIVEBY. I should like to hear from any of my brother florists who are situated as 1 am in regard to that increasingly im- portant part of our business, the deliv- ery service. I am located in a town of about 12,- 000 inhabitants, with a large country territory, and with the nearest opposi- tion of any importance over 100 miles away. I have a small greenhouse in the outskirts of the town and a store in the business part. All the help I need is a man in the greenhouse and a sales- lady at the store. The sales run all the way from 25 cents to about $3 per pur- chase; few purchases are over the lat- ter amount, while by far the largest percentage average from $1 to $1.50. Of course, every store in town deliv- ers free of charge and so do I, but here is where the rub comes in: The free delivery on such small purchases not only eats up the profit but often devours a slice more. I am getting most of my flowers from the city and accord- ingly have to figure on the cost of the flowers laid down at my place. On the other hand, the florists in the city are doing quite a business shipping flowers out here and people are constantly go- ing back and forth; hence I have to sell tit city prices in order to sell anything at all. Now, if I deliver free of charge and have to send my man from the greenhouse to the store, have him de- liver a package or two or even three, and figure his time until he comes back again, as well as the cost of the box, wax paper, paper and string, the store expenses, etc., I am more than likely to be money out on purchases which do not amount to more than $1, while on purchases of from $1 to $1.50 I come out about even and on anything over $1.50 the profit is cut down to a con- siderable extent. A short time ago a wholesale grower from the city was here and I spoke to him about it, but, as I expected, he simply told me that I would have to deliver free at any time and anywhere, or I could not expect people to patron- ize me. Does he do the same thing f Let us see: I have a standing order with him for cut fiowers, which, with special orders sent in quite frequently, amount to from $10 to $20 per day. The flowers are all packed at a certain time and in one box. Any of the express companies will be glad to call at his place and get them, but at the end of the invoice I find a charge of 25 cents for packing and delivering. This in- cludes box, paper, string, icing, and tlie time it takes a man to do the packing. Now, how is it that the grower or wholesaler charges me 25 cents for this packing and imaginary delivering to the express company, on any order amounting to $15 per day, while I am supposed to furnish all boxes, wax pa- per, paper, string, clerk hire and inci- dental expenses without charge, and then deliver all these flowers free in small lots to all parts of town and at any time my customer wants them de- livered?"" It is simply because all the growers and wholesalers make this charge, while we little fellows tumble over one another to get the trade at any expense, without doing any calcu- lating as to whether or not the expenses connected with a sale eat up the whole profit. If we would come to an agree- ment to stop this tremendous expense of free delivery; if we would, like the wholesaler, charge our out-of-town cus- tomers with packing and delivery, we could all make the delivering pay for itself instead of being a heavy burden. In the city a boy can probably be hired for the job of delivering for about $3 per week; here I have to pay any young fellow from $6 to $8, and half the time cannot get one even at those wages. In the city the gasoline for a motorcycle or auto delivery car can be purchased for a good deal less than here. We are paying nearly 18 cents per gallon in tank lots, and for everything else correspondingly. Again, there is the delivering on Sun- day. I keep my store open on Saturday night until 10 o'clock, and on Sunday from 10 a. m. to 1 and from 7 p. m. to 9. I am not making a practice of deliv- ering on Sundays, but have a good many kicks on that. Some of my cus- tomers have even walked out without buying because I would not deliver free of charge. However, I look at it in this way: I cannot get anyone to work seven days a week for fifty-two weeks in the year by compensating him for only six days' work per week. One of us must be at the greenhouse and one at the store, and if delivering is done on Sunday, another helper is needed for this. Thus all three of us would have to work 365 days in the year, which I do not think is an enjoyable prospect for anybody. If I have to pay someone for delivering on Sunday, the expense is more than my profits amount to. If I call an A. D. T. messenger I have to Getting Packages Routed for the Deliveries, a Typical Easter Moroing Scene, in Front of a Hartford Flower Store. March 13, 1913. The Florists^ Review A Home Wedding Decoration Executed at Easter by Will Rchder, of Wilminston, N. C pay from 10 to 15 cents per package and frequently have to wait so long that the flowers are not delivered on time, which is as bad as no delivery, or worse. Besides, we live in a town which con- tains about sixteen churches. About ninety per cent of the flower-buying public are church members, or at least go to church whenever the doors are open, and, no matter what diagreements the different denominations may have among themselves, they all alike teach you to keep the Sabbath. However, coming from church, they drop into the flower store and buy a few flowers for the dinner table, and if these are not delivered for them they feel terribly put out about it. Now, how could this delivery ques- tion be managed so as to be satisfac- tory all around and at the same time lot be a source of loss? Would it do to cut delivery out on small purchases? Will it be necessary to deliver on Sun- •1 »^ -J r' « ;^MH* An Eatter Church Decoration in a Country Town. ai The Floruits' Review Mabch 13, 1913. movable date, and how the exact date is fixed, they tell us that it is fixed by the "ideal tnoon" adopted many cen- turies ago by the church. There is •.1 : not a great deal of difference between -Sf'* the "true moon" and the "ideal "-''^ - inpo4^* in their phases, but sometimes the "true moon" may just miss the "ecclesiastical moon." When it comes to fijguring just where the difference lies you touch upon a pretty complicated astronomical subject. It is safe to say, however, that Easter comes on the first Sunday- after the first full moon after March 21. Or, to put it another way, Easter is the first Sunday occurring after the first full moon, or more ac- curately, after the first fourteenth day of the moon following the vernal equi- nox. The vernal equinox invariably falls March 21, so that the Easter festival cannot come earlier than March 22 or later than April 25. Not since 1856 has Lent come in sp early as it did this year, and not for ninety-five years more will we have so early a Lent and Easter. Some day we hope it will not be a movable feast. Florists are not the only ones who would like Easter given a fixed date, and there is a strong and growing move- ment toward such a change. BASKET or LILIES. The basket of Easter lilies is-the one indispensable feature of an Easter dec- oration, no matter where or for what. It is an arrangement every florist will be called on to make times without closely together that they show no in- dividuality. The accompanying illus- tration is interesting as showing a well proportioned arrangement of lilies with pussy-willows. It was by E. L. John- son, Palmer, Mass. , . , ^ Why flowees wilt. Flowers wilt because of the collapse of the individual cells of which they are made^ up. So long as these cells are distended the flowers remain fresh. This distention is due to osmotic pres- sure. If the osmotic equilibrium — that is, the osmotic pressure within and without the cells — can be kept uniform, the flowers remain fresh. If the osmotic equilibrium is disturbed, the flowers wilt. Now, osmotic pressure depends upon the presence in the cell of a liquid containing substances in solution. The proportion and character of the substance dissolved determine the de- gree of osmotic pressure exerted by the liquid within the cell. L. Fourton, associate professor of chemistry, and Vital Ducomet, profess^ or of botany, at the National School of Agriculture at Eennes, France, have made a series of experiments during the last three years to determine the in- fluence of various solutions in prolong- ing the life of cut flowers through their influence on osmotic pressure. Over 100 varieties of plants were experi- mented with and over 100 experiments were tried on each. It was found that mixtures of mineral and organic sub- stance* were, as a rule, not so effective Basket of Lili<8 Arranged by Ernest L. Johnson,PaImer,Ma8s. number in the next few days. The one mistake most frequently made is to use too many lilies, producing 4 crowded effect. The idea of abundance always is desirable in any flower ar- rangement, but the beauty of the lily is lost when the flowers are packed so as either alone. Inorganic substances were helpful only in very dilute solu- tions, a strength ef one 'part in 10,000 giring the' best results. With organic substances a solution varying from one to ten per cent proved most efficient. The results arrived at showed that no one substance was universally help ful, though solutions of sugar were more generally helpful, than those of any other substance. The strength of the solution to be used varied with the dif ferent plants. Lilacs, lilies, sweet peas and a few other flowers were hurt, not helped, by the addition of sugar to tho water. Sugar' seemed to have no influ- ence either 6ne way or the other on marguerites, chrysanthemums and tu- lips. Nearly all the other popular flow- ers were benefited by the addition of sugar to the water in which they were kept, the life of the flower being length- ened from ten to 300 per cent. The strength of the sugar solution ""to be used varies with different flowers. With carnations a fifteen per cent sugar solu- tion is helpful; with most roses a solu tion of from seven to ten per cent in strength gives the best results. Or- chids did best in solutions varying from ten to twenty per cent of sugar. The sugar solutions accelerated the opening of buds, particularly among roses and orchids. Lilacs, though injured by sugar solu- tion alone, were helped by a twelve per- cent solution of sugar containing one part of manganese sulphate in 10,000. Chloral, ether, glycerin and alcohol in varying proportions helped certain of the blossoms, while others were helped by lime water, potash and its salts, and ammonia and its salts. The only advantage of changing water seemed to be the prevention of putrefaction; otherwise changing the water in which flowers stand seemed detrimental. The more deeply the stem was immersed in the water or solution, the better the result; that is, the water should come as near as possible to the blossom. COMPOSITE CROPS. Different Species Grown Together. In these days, when the increasing cost of production threatens to deplete the fair profits the florist deserves, the problem of "making two spears grow where one grew before" should receive large attention. And the problem is largely hinged on the question as to what different species will do well to- gether in the solid beds without emulat- ing the theory of survival of the fittest. To find out definitely what species will grow in harmony, what plants will use the different chemical constituents of the soil, what kinds will not rob each other of root formation, what kinds will help each other in the battle against their insect enemies, the stronger attracting certain pests until its weaker copartner gets a good start — these are the main points to be con- sidered in this plan of plant manage- ment. I sowed two pounds of cabbage seed with one and a half pounds of white- tipped Scarlet Turnip radish. The stand was even and I pulled the radishes out when fit for market. In the mean- time they had attracted the flea beetles and kept them from the cabbage plants. But if you wish to grow beautiful plants by old methods, try the Volga; it is such a swift, robust grower that insects are left behind in the race and insectici'.ea are quite Unnecessary. I Seven Crops in a Season. I have seen a Detroit florist grow this succession: Early in the spring Mabch 13, 1913. The Florists' Review 39 he cut a ^ood crop of spinach from seed sown in the fall; also some pansy T.lants. He plowed the land and planted lettuce plants from his greenhouse. When the lettuce was nearly market- able he drilled radish seed up the rows. When these were being pulled he planted wax beans which had been started on sod in his greenhouse. Then • ame crops of summer lettuce, fall radishes and spinach. A New York market gardener once told me that I tried to get too many (^^rops from the same piece of ground in one season. He relied on a single crop. But I would rather have the satisfaction of the Detroit florist who grew seven crops than that of the New York gardener who secured but one. I had several thousand cosmos plants which grew too rank in the beds. I thought I would try lopping off the tops, as they were touching the glass. As an experiment I stuck the slips in between the tomato rows in a hotbed. In a few days they rooted and I dis- covered that these cuttings made flow- ering plants much sooner than those from seed, besides doubling my plant supply. In fact, somef were in bloom before I planted them out in June. Cream on Cream. Gladioli seem to be a popular go- between in greenhouse plantings in this vicinity. Especially do carnation grow- ers take to this bulb. But there are those, like the aforementioned New York gardener, who desire to see but one crop growing on the same ground at the same time. They forget that if they select those kinds that do not intrude on their neighbors, whatever is added to the income from these extra sales is but cream on cream. Having 2,000 pond lily cosmos unsold one season, I planted them between the hills in a field of Golden Bantam corn; after the corn was cut the cos- mos massed the field and several thou- sand cuts of the bloom added to the season's profits. If we only knew all the workings of the underworld of roots — if we could see all plant life upside down, as it were — we (fould more easily choose those that would couple in harmony. If such plants as the gerardias are root parasites, as some botanists assert, we must beware of that class. On the other hand, those of the order of le- gumes, the sweet pea, etc., from their reputed congenial habits of growth, might be welcomed in composite flori- culture. With some greenhouse crops, such as -^\m <#.!

In solid beds, until I can deter- mine whether or not they are root parasites, I shall be slow to companion them with other kinds of plants. With the advent of hybrids having more sturdy, less wiltable bloom for cutting, with its already proved adaptability for bedding out and its ease of propaga- tion from seed or from cuttings from low side shoots, the pentstemon is on the verge of a wave of popular fashion or public favor, such as is already ex- perienced by many of its more for- tunate neighbors. Mushrooms may be grown in many beds without inconvenience to the host. Montbretias may be used quite as well as gladioli. Sea kale and Swiss chard, owing to their increasing popularity, must be given consideration. Cultivate some of the "new things" in the open during the summer; give specimens or messes to the fancy res- taurants; let them sample and whet their appetites; then try to force some to supply your trade. I have found that a bunch of flowers or hamper of some new vegetable, freely given. away, often brings a good reward in the following sales. Ulysses R. Perrine. A MABDI GBAS BOUQUET.

CLAY'S FEBTILIZEB. -*i What proportion of Clay's fertilizer should be used to a gallon of water f 8. B. A teaspoonful to a gallon of water is a sufficiently strong dose for the aver- age soft-wooded plant. Such plants as callaa, hydrangeas, marguerites and chrysanthemums will take it double that strength. Clay's fertilizer can also be applied as a top-dressing; one teaspoon- ful to a 6-inch pot should be applied to such plants as begonias, primroses, cine- rarias, cyclamens, geraniums, calceola- rias, etc. Strong growing ferns, like cibotiums and nephrolepis, are benefited by Clay 's fertilizer, but use it half as strong as for the flowering plants, and in liquid form. C. W. f the several varieties. This is univer- sally considered the commercial orchid, and no doubt it is, but what a welcome lolief are the pretty dendrobiums, of \vhich there were a few in bloom! Mr. ^'esey pointed out some new growths 'oming on and they certainly have fine prospects ahead. This being a rather "ew department on the place, they are "aturally enthusiastic over it. IHILIP C. SCHUPP. IT is an old saying that the man who rides a hobby is the worker who never feels a strain — the hobby affords the necessary relaxation from the cares of business. F. C. Schupp's hobby is Indian arrow heads. It is said his collection is one of the finest in America. Starting with the bits of flint picked up in the vicinity of his home, for the Budlong greenhouses in Chicago stand on what once was In- dian camping grounds, he has added to his collection until it represents most of the important tribes of the middle west. Mr. Schupp is manager of the selling and financial end of the J. A. Budlong estate and this winter has had also much of the responsibility for the greenhouses, because of the ill health of A. H. Bud- long, but a trip to the Indian mounds of Kentucky has put him into fine form for the heavy spring work. From here we went into the rose sec- tion. Mostly the Killarneys are grown. Mr. Vesey is enthusiastic over My Maryland, which he says has paid them perhaps the biggest returns of any va- riety on the place. Several beds had plants which were in their fifth year and were coming on with a fine crop, after having had a short rest. Rhea Reid is another favorite here. This is one of the few places where this variety has succeeded under glass, but it has done well here from the first. Sun- burst was being worked up into cut- tings as fast as could be. It promises to be a great favorite here. Mr. Vesey is a strong champion of Glories^ and he thinks equally well of KWhit^ejpondcr. Ho has both in tine Wape. ^Enchantress and White Enchan- tress are both grown extensively and well, but the first two will be given considerable space next year which now is occupied by the latter two. Rose- pink Enchantress will be dropped. In red. Victory and Delhi are grown. Vic- tory will be dropped and St. Nicholas grown in its place. Delhi has given a large cut of blooms, but lacks in color. Rosette will be increased considerably next season. A fine house of snapdragons will just about give a cut for Easter. Mr. Vesey grows these from seed annually, instead of propagating from cuttings, as most of us do. Except for the wide varia- tion of colors, this seems to be a good way to handle them. Mr. Vesey says they sell, and that is all that is needed. A fine bed of smilax was seen. A large quantity of lilies is being brought on' for Easter and they will make it just right. Gardenias are to be given a trial here next season. A nice batch of young plants, now in 3-inch pots, is coming on.

It should make a place for itself among the pink forcing roses. Five new members were taken in at the meeting and the membership list has grown far beyond any previous mark. These visits to points outside of Indianapolis are proving a great suc- cess in stimulating interest among the members, and certainly they are a great help in building up the membership.

The vine-covered archway here illus- trated is one of the many features of interest in Bona Venture cemetery, at Savannah, 6a. The photograph was taken by H. J. Corfield, a landscape gardener who has a wide acquaintance in the trade. Many florists will recognize the vine as Bhynchospermum jasminoides, though its strictly * correct botanical name seems to be Trachelospermum jasmi- noides. In every-day English it is called the star jasmine, for it has star-shaped, five-lobed flowers, which are white and deliciously fragrant. It is also fre-- quently referred to as the Malayan or African jasmine. Moreover, in the southern states, where it is a favorite best when supported on a large, strong trellis, not much less than ten feet in height. In favorable conditions it is a strikingly handsome vine, even when devoid of flowers, and in its blooming period it is often almost an unbroken mass of white. It commences to bloom in April and continues in flower till late in May. The blossoms are pendu- lous, about an inch across, and grow in clusters of five or six. In the north it is popular as a speci- men plant in greenhouses and conserv- atories, where it is commonly grown in large tubei in the form of dense bushes, attaining both d, height and width of three or four feet. It requires several years, however, to develop specimens of that character. It is propagated by means of cuttings, preferably taken with a heel in the spring, from half- ripened wood. In order to obtain satis- factory results, it is necessary to give the young plants rather careful treat- ment, keeping them in a warm house and promoting a vigorous growth. When the plants are well established, how- ever, they should be transferred to a cooler house, and during summer they may be plunged outdoors in partial shade. They should be watered freely in hot weather, but kept on the dry side during the winter. THE DAHLIA, THE FLOWER. [A paper by J. T. Fltchett, of Janesvllle, WU., for presentation before the Western Dahlia and Gladiolus Association, at Chicago, February 7, 1913.] The dahlia is not only a flower, but the flower. No other flower can give such a wide range of form and color, or such a long season of bloom as the dahlia. In fact, some growers are be- An Excellent Specimen of Ehynchoipermum Jasminoides. outdoor plant, it is familiarly known as the Confederate jasmine. It is a tender, evergreen plant, a native of the southern part of China. In this country, therefore, it is not suitable for outdoor cultivation except in the extreme south, where it flourishes ginning to try winter growing for flowers as well as to propagate plants. First mentioned by Francisco Her- nandez in 1657 as a single flower grow- ing in Mexico, it was later introduced into Europe under the name Dahlia variabilis, from the wonderful ^se with which it could be changed in form. The show and fancy types were soon developed to 9. wonderful degree, and were the only forms known until com paratively recent years. Within the last two decades marvelous advance ment has been made in producing ne^^ forms that are scarcely recognized as descended from the formal * * daylies ' of our grandmother's garden. Some thing over 6,000 varieties are now- recognized by the various national societies, classified as follows: The Types. Cactus — Petals long, narrow, edge •rolled back. Decorative — Petals and flower flat, full to center. Show and Fancy — Bound, ball-shaped flowers, petals quilled; lines are not very definitely drawn between these two classes. They are the oldest form of dahlia. Pompon — Miniature flowers, mostly of show and fancy type, although a few cactus varieties are now being introduced. Peony-flowered — Large, loose flowers, two or three rows of petals, open center. Single — Only one row, usually eight petals. Collarette — Like single, with a collar of small petals at base of large ones, usually of a contrasting color. Anemone — Two rows of flat petals surrounding the center of small tubular petals. American growers have done their share in bringing out good varieties. Frank Smith, originated in Philadel- phia over seventy-five years ago, is still the best selling fancy, while A. D. Livoni is the most popular florists' pink show. Ruth Forbes, pink, is de- scribed by the secretary of the German Dahlia Society as the first American cactus variety. Our president has to his credit a number of good varieties, among them Foster Barnes, a large white show. Thompson's Alexis, Jr., is a small counterpart of Grand Duke Alexis, with a good stem. Koerner's single white. Snow Storm, and rose pink collarette are both good. Some Good Sorts. Wonderful effects can now be pro- duced for table decorations with the almost endless variety of colors in the cactus group. The more formal deco- rative and show varieties, such as Mrs. Roosevelt, Cuban Giant, Souvenir de Gustave Doazon, Le Colosse, Yellow Colosse, Dreer's White, W. W. Eawson, •leanne Charmet and Delice are espe- cially good for church decorations. Nothing could be better than Queen Wilhelmina, white peony-flowered, for a spray. Philadelphia, Bertha von Suttner, Lord Milner, Germania and Mrs. Seybold are all good. Geisha is perhaps the most striking flower of the group, with its long twisted petals of oriental red and yellow. Culture. Any soil that will grow corn will grow dahlias. Too rich ground means rank foliage and late flowers. Give plenty of sunlight, avoid shade and spraying the foliage with cold water. At planting time divide to one eye on a division and cover four or five inches deep. Constant cultivation will accom- plish more than any amount of water- •.v^-^*^;-:- ■■>■ March 13, 1913.

When cutting the blooms, trim off surplus foliage and dip the base of the stem in boiling water for a half minute, then put in cold water for an hour oi more. Treated in this way, you will not have trouble with flowers wilting when shipped. The writer is not a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but he ventures the assertion that the next ten years will mark a large increase in the use of the dahlia as a cut flower, and also the growing of a number of varieties under glass for winter use. THE SMALL GBOWEB. [An essay by H. Klelnstarink, of Louis- ville, awarded third prize In a contest con- ducted by the Kentucky Society of Florists.] As a member of your society and your craft, and doing business on a small scale — in plainer words, being a one-horse florist and grower — I am naturally confronted with the problem of making the most of it, without inter- fering or clashing with others in the same boat. If we look back, say twenty years, we shall find that there is as much difference as night and day between the way business was done then and the way it is done today. Not only do we have to compete with enormous establishments, or factories of cut flowers and plants, which, at the de- mand for more and choicer stock, sprang up and are still springing up like mushrooms after a spring storm, but we have to take account of, and coax, the new and sometimes no bet- ter styles and fashions which make yesterday's stock a total loss on our bands today. Difficult Competition. It would be impossible for the small grower to compete successfully with the large one, on account of the lat- ter's greater capital and smaller cost of producing and marketing his prod- ucts. And that is not all, but here is the main drawback in a small place: While his big brother is contracting to deliver so many thousands of flow- ers a day, and will stand by his con- tracts even if he has to go into the open market some few times in the year and buy there himself, the small fellow is only cutting a few every day, and of course be cannot contract for even that small number; or, if he does, he will soon find that he has over- reached himself, being unable, through several causes, to live up to his con- tract. If, in times of plenty, he totes his cut around to the several stores, the proprietors of these will either tell him they do not want the flowers, or will offer such a ridiculously low price for them that he feels discouraged in- 'leed, and begins to cry "Murder!" and "Help!" saying the business is going to the bow-wows, and such things. Time to Face About. Now is the time, in the writer's opin- ion, to change front entirely, as soon as We find out that we are on the wrong track, and try it from a differ- ent standpoint. Most of the small growers have their greenhouses in the city's outskirts, and have, if they only knew it, a market right at their door without much trouble, which can be added to every year to the satisfaction of everybody.

Gentlemen: During the past year I paid you $18.20 for a half inch advertisement in the Retail Florists Department of The Review, I received through this small advertisement, from January 1, 1913, to December 31, 1913, orders to the amount of $566.00. They cane by mail and telegraph from New York to San Francisco and from New Orleans to Minneapolis. Since I allowed the senders 20^, the record is as follows: Total value of orders $566.00 Less 30f allowed senders 113.20 Net value of orders. : . 453.80 Here is an addition of $452.80 in business which could not otherwise have been obtained and at an expense of only $18.20. Since my advertisement appeared only in The Review it goes to show what the retail florists through the country lose if they do not use this medium of advertising. It also goes to show that The Review is not only there with a big "P" but that it has three more big "R's" - Readers - Reliability • ResultsI Yours respectfully. Not only is there an increasing de- mand for cut flowers in every shape or form, but the plant business is end- less, and nearly all through the year there are some kinds of plants that we can handle with both ease and profit. Several years ago, when I was visiting a brother florist, a lady customer came in and wanted a floral design made, but my neighbor told her he sold only at wholesale. Here is where he was, in my opinion, altogether wrong. In this manner he lost a trade which by this time would have made him inde- pendent of the stores and of his big brother with 100,000 or mote feet of glass. Some small growers tell me, * ' Oh, it is too much trouble to bother with these little orders, and then it is so much work to have so many different kinds of flowers and plants to grow. ' ' Of course it is trouble and worry, but it pays, and any trouble that pays ought to be good enough for everybody. A Gk)od Betail Trade. Where a small grower now has only carnations or something else on his benches, and cannot make them pay after a certain time, let him have some- thing that will pay him better, perhaps not the first year, but surely in a short while, ^et the people once know you have something good for gale in your greenhouses, and they will flock to your place and buy it. There is nothing that can compare, for the small grower, with a good re- tail trade. Once he has that, and at- tends to his business right, he can sleep without worrying about tomor- row. A great many people who live in the outskirts of our cities, being mostly of moderate means, are glad when they can call up a florist in their neighbor- hood and order cut flowers or designs or anything in the floral line, and know they will not have to pay quite such high prices as in the regular flower store, since by buying from the small grower they miss paying the profits of the middleman. In this way we would not hear so much about sur- plus flowers, but would let the whole- saler and store man fight this out be- tween themselves. Of course a great many more points could be brought out, but it will prob- ably be better to bring these out in the general discussion, in which I hope all the members will join with great good will and with no hard feelings, and so increase the knowledge that is so nec- essary in our craft.

Jr.. before the IniTlana State Florists' Association at Fort Wavue, March 4, 191.x ] The subject for the remarks I am going to make has been the absorbing topic among the allied trades for the last year, and no doubt most of those present have given a good deal of thought to this topic, namely publicity. This association was organized for the same reason that other clubs and associations were organized, the ad- vancement of the members ' interests. We have secured advancement in that we know how to grow stock better, keep down disease, and many other things of note. But the times are changing, and so must we change. Mil- lions of feet of new glass have been erected in the last year, which means a far greater supply of flowers than ever before. As j'et nothing has been done toward creating a demand to con- sume the increased supply. Well, why not now? I might say we are a fraternity, and a fraternity is only strong when its members pull together. We want to plan our business interests together, or, in other words, we want cooperation. We want to especially study what in- terests the public. The road to suc- cess lies in serving the public, and this can only be done by all taking a com- mon interest in the forward movement. The S. A. F. and Publicity. This association cannot hope to ac- complish all that we would wish. Our strongest hope lies with the national society. It is to the S. A. F. that we should lend our help and attention, as it is mainly through this body that we can hope to draw the attention of the public to our wares. Let us consider what the S. A. F. means to the average florist. It means a vacation, a picnic and a general good time. But those of you who have attended the last two conventions have found a different at- mosphere prevalent. Questions of ex- ceeding importance have come before the convention and been acted on. The florists who attend these present-day conventions are thinkers. They have come to realize that the business is not 80 easy as it used to be. At the last convention, held in Chi- cago, a publicity committee was ap- pointed. Through some mistake or oversight, this committee was given no power to act, inasmuch as there was no sum of money set aside for its use. I believe a fair sum will be forthcom- ing this year. The purpose of this com- mittee was to get out such advertise- ments and readin'g matter as will at- tract public attention in the desired direction; to send copy to representa- tive fities for all leading flower days, such as Christmas, Easter and Thanks- : giving; to send copy which will eventu- ally make national flower days of Lin- coln's and McKinley's birthday, St. Valentine's day and of Mothers' day. There are unlimited possibilities for this committee. It could suggest to the political parties of this country that they should have a special flower em- blem. Just stop and think what this one item would mean to our business. They could reach the women of this country through such mediums as House and Garden, Country Life, Ladies' Home Journal, Woman's Home Com- panion and numerous other magazines. They could teach the women how to care for plants in the house and gar- den, when to sow seeds, the varieties, how to water, and numerous other cul- tural details. Do you not think this would awaken a widespread interest in our trade? Civic Improvement. One of our big opportunities is the awakening of so many cities to civic Tbe Editor Is pleased ^^liexi a Reader presents his Ideas on any subject treated In fVIC^ As experience Is the bent teacher, so do vre learn fastest by an exchance of experiences.

WK SHAIX BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM TOU improvement. This item alone is of prime importance to us in that it arouses public interest in the beautiful things we grow, which could probably be aroused in no other manner. Civic improvement I spell with four letters: H-o-p-e. Another matter of recent date and of vast importance to us is the parcel post. The parcel post has opened un- limited territory for us to work in. Seedsmen can now quote prices in their catalogues on goods delivered to the door. This is an attractive #38ue to the average catalogue buyer. If the people learn to buy from the seedsmen through the parcel post, why not from the cut flower man? You have all noticed the lack of at tendance at flower shows. Why is this? You all know the answer. The shows have not been advertised in the man ner and places that attract public at- tention. The public has not been made to realize what it has missed by pass- ing by a flower show. We must surely realize that a flower show is one of our fortes. Why go to the trouble of get- i ting up a flower show, with all of the ] provoking problems, and not properly advertise it? I attended the National Flower Show in Boston and from the size of the crowds each day anyone could tell that a great deal of thought and attention had been given to adver- tising. The building was exceedingly large, the crowds so large one could hardly force a way through. Did it pay? Well, rather! The National Flower Show. ' Gentlemen, a big opportunity is com- ing to bring the trade under public no- tice. That opportunity will be April 5 to 12, at New York. A wise selec- tion was made when the National Flower Show committee was chosen. Every member is energetic and doing all in his power to make it a success. And I think it will be. It has been largely advertised all through the east. The entries are large, but they should be larger, and would be if the florists realized what an excellent chance they have to impress the public. All of you gentlemen should attend the show if it is possible to do so, for you will re- ceive value for value. A small way to advertise is over- looked by nearly every florist; namely, a buttonhole bouquet. Perhaps you do not realize the value of this small item. How easy it is to stop at the refriger- ator and select a nice carnation or rose and put it in the buttonhole before going downtown! We all do it at a florists' gathering, but why not at home? I am like the 'rest of you; I hate to wear a flower, simply because no one else does. Nevertheless we are overlooking one item of advertising. I think I'll advertise from now on. Showing the Way, A florists' paper has taken up the matter of publicity in this way: In a January issue it went to a great deal of trouble and expense to show the trade how to advertise properly for St. Valentine's day. It went still farther and printed numerous photographs re- garding new modes in the arrangement of boxes and decorations for St, Valen- tine's day. That issue no doubt helped a great many florists along this par- ticular line. It is a good start in the right direction and I hope they keep it up. The New York Florists' Club has taken up the question of publicity and from all reports the proposition seems to be moving along nicely. That is what all the florists' clubs in the coun- try should do. And this will be the final outcome, as the florists are awaken- ing to the fact that something should be done toward creating a demand. Covington, Ky,— W, R, Miller's Sons, who have a range of seventeen green- houses at Oakland and Wallace avenues, have opened a retail store at Eighth street and Madison avenue, one of the best locations in towit. It is a tasteful, attractive store and the public is show- ing appreciation of it. Mabch 13, 1913. The Florists' Review 47 , , PLANTING GLADIOLI. . ,., Will you please answer the following questions in regard to the culture of gladioli here, in northwestern Ohio? What is the diflference between soft and hard-shell bulbletsf Will bulblets from planting stock do as well as those from blooming bulbs? I have been told that fresh stable manure should never be used on land intended to be planted to gladioli. Part of the land on which I will plant mine for the coming season was manured last season; the other part has not been manured for several years and is not as rich as it should be. How would you manage so as to get good re- sults? Would you use commercial fer- tilizer? If so, how much and what kind? What effect does fresh manure have on them? My soil is yellow sand and rather light. If I plant America, Mrs. Francis King and other varieties side by side in rows, will they run out, or should each be planted separately? I shall appreciate an answer to these questions through The Eeview. , ' . . F- J. K. So-called soft-shell gladiolus bulblets are not really bulblets, but small bulbs of one year's growth from bulblets. Bulblets from planting stock will grow the same as from blooming bulbs. Fresh stable manure spread on ground in winter or early spring is not harmful. It would be fully as good as most commercial fertilizers, if not bet- ter. Fresh manure in contact with the bulbs, however, is too heating.

The exceedingly cold weather of the last week — the thermometer register- ing 10 degrees, with a gale from the northwest — has burned up coal and had a depressing effect on the demand, thus affecting the growers unfavorably, both in cost of production and in diminution ■of sales.

FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO. 530-60 Caxton Bldg. Chicago Whitman, Mass. — W. B. Brown, who combines landscape gardening and the nursery business with the florists ' trade, says the outlook for spring is excellent. He has the contract for tree planting at Kenberma park, Nantasket Beach, as well as a number of nice orders for public and private work at Fall Eiver, Brockton, Eockland and other places. Cleveland, O. — Peter Nichols, the Su- perior Arcade florist, who was forced into service in the Greek army in the Balkan war while he was visiting his former home five months ago, has writ- ten to a friend here, enclosing a photo- graph of himself as he appears in his Greek uniform, and stating that he is looking forward anxiously to the time when he may be free to return to this city. His wife and son, who accom- panied him on the pleasure trip to Athens, are living in their old home there. Maspetb, N. Y. — John Schmieg, re- cently in the florists' business on Juni- per avenue, announces that he is no longer in the trade. East Bridgewater, Mass. — J. K. Alex- ander recently has built a large storage house for dahlias, of which he claims to be the largest grower in the world. It has 4,680 square feet of floor space and 11,700 cubic feet of storage room. Princeton, HI. — George H. Jennings, foreman, says the W. E. Trimble Green- house Co. is preparing to add two new houses, one 9x53 and the other 8x40. These are for pot plants, but will be used for propagating next year. For next season the rose stock is to be in- creased 4,000 plants, the varieties being Sunburst, Milady, Killarney Queen and American Beauty. La Porte, Ind. — The Kaber Co. has opened its new downtown flower store, at 808 Jefferson avenue. The room is exquisitely furnished and is decorated in white and gold. The refrigerator is especially attractive and holds ten tons of ice. The counters are all marble- topped. In the rear of the store is a balcony, which is partly occupied by a well arranged workroom. It is the in- tention of the firm to discontinue all sales at the greenhouses on Fox street. Bochester, Ind. — A recent fire in the boiler shed of the Dunn greenhouses, conducted under lease by J. H. Shel- ton, caused a loss of from $200 to $300 to Mrs. Dunn, the owner of the houses, and a loss of $500 or $600 to Mr. Shel- ton. For some years Mr. Shelton has made the annual announcement, in the newspapers and otherwise, that he would give a bouquet to each person in the city whose birthday was on the same date as his own, February 14. This plan has not only aided directly in giving publicity to his business, but has also fostered in the public mind the idea of purchasing flowers as birth- day gifts and there is a noticeable in- crease in the sales for this purpose. Camden, N. Y. — The greenhouse busi- ness which Harvey B. Snow established and has conducted for many years has been sold by him to Messrs. Carl W. and Ernest D. Brown. The Brown brothers have purchased the green- houses and business, Mr. Snow retain- ing his seed business, to which he will now give his entire attention. Carl Brown has had experience as a land- scape gardener in New Hampshire, as foreman of a greenhouse in Augusta, Me., and as foreman of greenhouses in Houston, Texas, and several other western cities. Ernest Brown has been a student in the Agricultural College at Durham, N. H., studied horticulture and floriculture at Cornell University and has been employed as superinten- dent of a large estate at Wyoming, 50 The Floiists' Review Mahch 13, 1913.

Third National Flower Show, New York, April 0 to 12. 1018. Twenty-ninth annual convention, Minneapolis, Minn.. August 19 to 22. 1913. Results bring advertising. The Review brings results. Don 't think that a willingness to make allowances on complaints of customers is an evidence of fair dealing; quite the contrary, it is proof that there is some- thing wrong with the methods that per- mit the necessity for adjustments. Because the paper is sent only to paid in advance subscribers, The Review sends no subscription receipts. If the paper comes, the dollar has been received safely; if the paper does not come, the remittance has not arrived. Two well known British florists who will attend the National Flower Show are W. Wells, the chrysanthemumist who was over a couple of years ago, and R. P. Felton, the London retailer. They sail together on the Mauretania March 22. There are becoming so many quaran- tine regulations aflfecting the interstate shipment of plants and other trade com- modities that no man can be sure he has observed the details of the latest edicts. Thus far the most serious burden is on the nurserymen, but florists are beginning to be alfected and, apparently, conditions are likely to grow worse instead of better. The other day an advertiser spoke of The Review as a "western paper." The Review has more subscribers in New York than in any other state; Pennsylvania is second, but New England, with less area than either, receives more Reviews than go to any one state anywhere in the Union. Those who wish to be accurate in their speech will refer to The Review as ' * the national trade paper. ' ' Steadily if slowly the trade is getting away from the old ideas of credits and collections. The argument that this trade is different from other trades and calls for different methods than are applied to credits and collections in other lines is no doubt true, but the differences are in the direction of conservatism rather than laxity. If you don't get the money why part with your merchandise? 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. SOME PAFEB. The white paper consumed in printing this issue of The Review weighed 12,660 pounds, or considerably more than six tens. Were the pages in a single copy laid end to end it would make a strip 164 feet loHg, and the entire edition so placed would carpet a path for 343 miles. And the number of copies printed this week is only the regular edition. BIO CI.ASSIFIED QAIN. Last week 's issue of The Review car- ried nearly a page more Classified Plant Ads than appeared in the heaviest issue last season — nearly two pages more than were in the issue of the corre- sponding date, for the peak never comes until about May 1. The explanation for the strong in- crease in the Classified Plant Ads is the excellent returns the advertisers have had-^the character of the classi- fied advertisements is such that it is impossible to do much direct solicita- tion— all The Review can do is to await the word of the man with the surplus stock: first he says "Insert," and shortly he says ' ' Cut it out, the stock is sold." This way: Please change our fern ad as enclosed; we have closed out about 100,000 through your classified ads. — Newell & Ustler, Apopka, Fla., February 27, 1913. CHICAGO. The Oreat Central Market. Within the last week the market has strengthened in some particulars and weakened in others. Business is stead- ily increasing. The supply as a whole also is larger than it has been in the last few weeks and conditions generally are about as usually is the case in the penultimate week of Lent. Beauties of strictly first-class quality continue scarce and there now is little- hope of heavy cuts for Easter. There are moderate quantities of imperfect. Beauties, and they are selling at ex- cellent prices, considering quality, be- cause there is nothing better to be had. Rose crops increased last week to the- point where the retailers began special sales, the first time roses have been so offered since the Christmas crop went off. This week the supply is still further augmented, as most of the growers appear to be coming into first- class crop for Easter. The quality of the roses is excellent. All grades are abundant and excellent values are of- fered. Of course, the bulk of the sup- ply is Killarney and White Killarney,. with moderate quantities of Richmond. Mrs. Ward is in good crop with those who have planted it. Lesser quantities- of Rhea Reid, Radiance, Sunburst, Bul- garie and Maryland are offered. Kil- larney Queen is fine. Carnations are slightly less plentiful" than they have been and the market has firmed on these. The fact that St. Patrick's day falls so close to Easter is making some difference in the. situa- tion on white. There are th6i^ whe say carnations are going off crop and will not be plentiful for Easter, but March 13, 191,3.

With carnations going oflF crop with most of the growers, and the near ap- proach of Easter, conditions show an improvement over a week ago. Boses continue the weakest spot in the mar- ket and are not selling at all well. The comparatively new sorts move the best, including Melody, Radiance, Bulgarie and Cardinal, while Sunburst, Hilling- don, Ward and long-stemmed Beauties are in fairly good demand. Killarneys are overabundant, as are Richmonds. The carnation market shows some im- provement, due more to decreased ar- rivals than to better demand. Benora, Rosette and St. Nicholas are all fine now. The leaders in popularity still are Pink Delight, Gloriosa and White Wonder. Some superb sweet peas are arriving. These sell well, but there is a surplus of short-stemmed stock still. Dutch bulbous flowers are moving somewhat better; the xjuality is first- class all around. Violets are now flowering heavily, with little change in price. With an early Easter, the sup- ply will this year be larger than for several years. Marguerite Mrs. Sander sells well, as do the larger-flowered yel- lows, but small flowers are too plentiful. Snapdragon, especially pink, remains popular. Lilies are mostly quoted at $12.50 per hundred, with second grades at $10. At this time an adequate sup- ply seems likely. Of blue cornflowers the supply is as yet inadequate. Pan- sies are now of good quality, as is mignonette. English primroses, wall- flowers, calendulas, gerberas, larkspurs, lupines, anemones and quite a variety of miscellaneous flowers are seen. The cattleya market seems a little stronger, as the supply has shortened up. Gardenias are good and Boston growers will have a grand Easter cut of these. Lily of the valley has been moving fairly well. The call for as- paragus shows an improvement. Pot plant trade is becoming brisk. Lilies are now appearing in the windows, and United Refrigeration The owner of the outfit pictured above says it is fast paying for iteelf. Flowers can be kept for days in United Refrigerators and retain their brilliancy and fragrance.

There was an at- tendance of eighty, including ladies, a delegation from the Ladies' School of Horticulture, Groton, Mass., being in- cluded. All the houses were found filled to overflowing with plants in prime condition for Easter. Some 1,500 azaleas were in flower, including a num- ber of the newer sorts, such as Souv. de William Edgar, Easter Greeting and the beautiful Lady Roosevelt. Lilacs were seen in quantity and carried ex- tra fine trusses. Many thousands of lilies were seen. These carried from four to eight flowers per plant and were finely grown. While giganteums pre- dominated, a good many Formosas also were seen, also a fine batch of can- didums. Genistas were seen in all sizes, in- cluding some grand specimen plants. In rhododendrons Pink Pearl took the lead.

Metrosideros, or bottlebrush, is al- ways well flowered here and they never appeared better than now. Spiraeas, hydrangeas and a variety of other Easter plants also were seen. Many thousands of young cyclamens were coming along- for flowering next win- ter, which it would be hard .to dupli- cate. Large quantities of geraniums and other bedding plants filled several houses, while thousands of hydrangeas were being started for Memorial day. Following an inspection of the houses an excellent luncheon was served and speeches made by President W. J. Kennedy, A. P. Calder, Sr., Thomas J. Grey, H. H. Bartsch, the efficient man- ager and member of the firm; R. S. Edgar and Mrs. W. W. Edgar. Great praise was given Mr. Bartsch for the splendid condition of the stock and to Mrs. Edgar for her generous luncheon, and rousing cheers for them were given before the pleasant gathering dis- persed. Various Notes. Members of the Horticultural Club visited the establishment of Peirce Bros., at Waltham, March 5. One of the big houses of giganteum lilies was in prime condition for Easter, as fine as this firm ever has had them. There were many thousands of them, and practically all are already sold. Aza- leas and other pot plants also are grown. Boses now fill several houses and look remarkably well. Killarney, White Killarney and Hillingdon mostly are grown. A house of the last named looked first-class, with fine stems and large flowers. Several houses are de- voted to carnations.

Corner IBth and Baee Sts., PHILADELPHIA, PA. Mention The Review when you write. PHILADELPHIA. The Rising Eastern Market. The market has been fai^ with a downward tendency during the last week. Carnations have been plentiful, their support rather poor. Violets in all grades have suffered, as have Easter lilies, particularly the poor ones, and the short-stemmed flowers of sweet peas and of roses. The receipts'of southern daffodils are quite heavy. The flowers are short-stemmed, depressing the mar- ket. Greenhouse .grown daffodils suf- fer from the competition. Indications point to a good supply of Easter lilies and pretty nearly all the varieties of flowers on which depend- ence is placed at Easter, Beauties and, possibly, Richmonds may be exceptions, but on the other hand violets promise well, as do sweet peas. Prices are likely to be reasonable. A Large Greenhouse. The contract has just been closed for what will be one of the largest green- houses of the east.

Godfrey Aschmann has a fine lot of azaleas just coming into bloom; there are something like 4,000, making a beautiful show. His lilies are safe; no forcing needed to bring them into flow- er for next week. A whole house and an overflow bench of cinerarias are superb, big trusses of large, well-col- ored blooms in a variety of shades. Spiraea Gladstone is uncommonly good; not a poor plant among them. Hy- drangea Otaksa completes the list of blooming staples. Then come the bulbs — ^you just ought to see them. Hya- cinths and tulips and daffodils galore, or, in plain English, thousands of them. The foliage plants are strongly repre- sented by kentias, araucarias, which John Aschmann says are much used at Easter, and ferns. The place will yield an immense crop next week. Second and Bristol Streoter There is an air of life pleasant to see about the greenhouses of Aschmann Bros. They work with hand and. brain and their place shows it. The Easter stock is in excellent condition. Lilies, azaleas, spiraeas and hydrangeas all look well. Their enterprise is shown in the new house, 18x103, just com- pleted and filled with blooming stock, notably 5,000 hyacinths. The general air of thriftiness is pleasant to see. The benches are full of plants that one would like to have one's self; no empty spaces, no rubbish. Various Notes. Ernest F.

Lilies will be exceptionally good this year, in spite of Easter being so early, and there will be plenty of them. Spiraeas, potted roses and other potted plants are exceptionally good and there is plenty of stock to supply the demand. There is still a shortage of American Beauties. Other roses are in good demand and the supply from the wholesalers is meeting the demand for the first time in sixWeeks. Eichmonds are good and Killarneys are improving a great deal. Carnations continue to arrive in good shape. While there has not been an exceptionally large cut from any of the growers, the quantity has been suflBcient to meet the demand. Bulbous stock is plentiful, but no oversupply is known. Violets and sweet peas are still plentiful. Various Notes. Henry Kusik & Co. had a fine week, especially on out-of-town orders. They have sold great quantities of Easter supplies. A. F. Barbe expects to have 1,000 lilies in for his Easter trade and they look exceptionally well.

Y., has been purchased by A. V, Smith, manufacturer of Pearl Barley, at Marcellus Falls, N. Y. James Carter & Co., Kaynes Park, London, had eighty-four electric pea- picking machines in operation and as- sert that they are the only ones in Eng- land. In describing the machine they say: "Each operative has absolute con- .trol of her machine. She may run it at varying spffe^s, and may stop it at any point in an instant. She may even reg- ulate the flow of peas; she may have six in a row or sixty, or may have the traveling 'platform' almost covered. The advantages of this facility of control are ob\'ious: no two samples of peas are pre- cisely alike; the machine must be run at lowest speed with a scantily covered platform for some crops of peas, while the more perfect crops may need but little picking, and can therefore be passed through quickly." IMPORTS OF VALLEY PIPS. The cultivation of lilies of the val- ley in Germany is one of the oldest branches of commercial horticulture in that country, and since about 1850 ship- ments of the pips have been made to the United States in increasing quanti- ties.

SEED OROWING IN CALIFORNIA. Those who read with interest the notes on onion seed as grown in Califor- nia, published in this department of The Review for February 27, may like something more from the pen of F. G. Cuthbertson. Mr. Cuthbertson is the son of W. Cuthbertson, of Dobbie & Co., Edinburgh, and he views seed grow- ing in California from the van- tage point of a lifetime in the trade and a couple of years' experience in the west. His notes originally were written for European consumption: "California is a wonderfully product- ive state and has a marvelous climate, but the farmer, seed grower or orchard- ist has more scope for his practical in- genuity than in many other countries. The real estate man will tell you that California will grow anything with a minimum amount of trouble. Don't you believe him. In California one can find valleys with widely different cli- mates and widely different soils, and yet only a few miles apart. One valley may grow good seeds and the next one be impossible. Another valley may grow good hay and another not. It seems as though each valley specializes and in every instance of that kind the best can be produced. "The present article will deal with seed growing in California. Even in this line it is impossible to secure one spot where all classes of seeds will do well. Where culinary peas do well it is almost impossible to grow sweet peas, and where sweet peas do well other flower seed crops are almost a failure. We find onion and carrot seed doing well in one location, yet a few miles away a crop twice as great can be pro- duced. "There are many different soils in California, ranging from the heavy adobe (clay) down to a sand. The cli- mate of California is not immune from frost and during the winter months in many sections it is common to get even 10 degrees.

Oc- casionally a wet season is experienced, but that is the exception. Last year in San Juan valley less than ten inches of rain fell, and this season to January 7 only .78 of an inch has fallen. Anyone interested in seed growing can appre- ciate what this means when a large acreage has to be put in. Such seeds as sweet peas, radish and a few others must be put in before the end of the year to secure a good crop. Onion bulbs, carrots, parsnip and salsify should all be in before January. The practical man, then, will realize what the Cali- fornia seed grower has to do when rains are few and far between, before January. "Of course the land has to be dry plowed whenever the crop is off. K. FRANK DARROW p. O. Box ItSO 86 BarcUy St..

This has to be kept up right along until the growth of the crops will not permit a horse to get between the rows. Dry farming means 38 The Florists^ Review Mabch 13, 1013. a tremendous lot to the carrying of the crop till harvest time. "Of course, there are weeds in Cali- fornia, too, and there is much hoeing to be done. It is comforting to know, however, that after hoeing has been done in April there is little chance of mftre rain coming to start a fresh crop of weeds. Consequently a seed farm in California during summer has always a clean, tidy appearance. "This brings me to the labor ques- tion. This is one of the biggest items with Californian seed growers. Many people imagine that there are plenty of Chinamen to be had at a cheap rate to do hoeing and unskilled work on the ranches. Years ago this may have been the case, but now it is getting almost impossible to get sufficient help during hoeing and harvesting seasons. The Chinamen are no longer allowed to come into the state and the white man does not seem to care for laboring on a ranch. Seed growers are getting anx- ious as to the outcome. Last year the common laborer, whether Chinaman, Japanese or Hindoo, had to have his $2.25 a day. Even at that money they were hard to get and one had to travel the country to make up the number, and then they had to have their railway fare paid. It may be that the opening of the Panama canal will bring about a solution of the labor question for the 8e6d grower and fruit grower. "Yet, in spite of these difficulties, California is the greatest country in the world for the production of first-class seeds. It is a splendid country to work in' and when the difficulties have been surmounted and the plants are well under way, the grower has the great consolation that he will have results • superior in ouality to any other coun- • try. The seeds grown in California stand alone for high vitality and be- '. fore many years have passed Califor- nian seeds will have a name unques- tioned the world over, Most of the growers, are striving after, and I can say have attained in numerous in- stances, perfection in quality. It is not to be wondered at, then, that the Cali- fornian seed grower is proud of his state and the achievements it has en- abled him to attain." LOS ANGELES SEED NOTES. - John Bodger, Jr., returned March 3 from a successful eastern trip and re- ports a most enjoyable time except for a few days when laid up with pleurisy, at Detroit. He says he h greatly pleiased with the progress of the sweet peas in his absence.

This is a different state of affairs from last year, when the long continued drought gave growers such an anxious time, and also different by all accounts from conditions obtaining with growers in the northern part of the state. The asters are also going into the ground in fine shape, the soil working splendidly. The prospects all around are excellent. M. L. Germain, of the Germain Seed & Plant Co., and L. L. Morse, of San Francisco, were in attendance at the ofiice of the horticultural commissioners at Sacramento February 27 to oppose a pernicious seed bill, requiring, among other things, a guarantee of germina- tion. It is well within the possibil- ities that such a law would be set aside as unconstitutional, but it is expected that the seedsmen's protest will lend to the modification of the bill along the lines of the state legislation approved by the American Seed Trade Associa- tion.

MONTEBEY CYPBESS FBOM SEED. Will you kindly inform me in detail as to the best method of starting Mon- terey cypress seed! I have tried to raise the trees from seed here, in north- ern California, but with little success. Only a few seeds germinated. Please state what is the best time to plant and what soil is best. Should the seed be planted in the open or in a hotbed f What should the treatment be as to shading and water? W. W. As W. W. asks for the details of the entire operation, I shall commence with the gathering of the seed. The Mon- terey cypress is peculiar in the fact that the seed cones do not open on the tree until they are several years old. As each year's growth produces an abun- dant supply of seed cones, it is obvious that there must be seed of several years' standing on all large trees. This is an important point, for the riper the seed, provided the cones are allowed to remain on the tree, the better germ- inative qualities it has. Consequently, seed should only be saved from cones of the oldest growth on the trees. The young cones, although they appear to be ripe, do not give seed that will germinate easily. Although the seed keeps well on the tree, it does not do so after picking and seed that is older than one season is of little value. Take the seed and put it in a vessel, covering it with water that has been heated to about 150 degrees. It is not necessary to change this water, bat the seed should be left in it for about three days. Early in April is the best time to start cypress in California, and no heat, either above or below, is of any value. Make a bed outside, of light sand, and cover the seed about one- eighth of an inch with still finer sand. Put a shading over the bed, preferably of laths, both as a protection from birds and from the bright sunshine. Keep the bed wet by plenty of light sprink- ling. The seeds should begin to germi- nate in about a week and in eight weeks the plants are ready to prick off in to, flats. By this time they should be about one and one-half Inches high, which is the proper size^ ^n which to handle them. They can be boxed in heavier soil than that in which the seed has been grown and must then be shaded for several weeks in the same manner as was the seed bed. Plants grown in this way will be ready for sale the following winter, but can' be kept in flats for several seasons. The seed can be planted rather thickly in the seed bed, which must be care- fully leveled and lightly tamped both before and after the seed is covered with sand. See that the bed is in such shape that it will hold the water evenly, and if the entire bed is made of light soil there is little danger of giving too much water when the seed bed is made outdoors. I am inclined to think, from the remarks made by W. W., that he had his trouble either because the seed grown was not fresh or because it was saved from young cones. As Califor- nia is the native habitat of the Mon- terey cypress, there should be no trouble to grow it successfullv in this climate, provided the foregoing rules are followed. G.

The quality of the Grand Monarque daffo- dils has been elegant here and the poet- icus varieties are just coming in. There is great consternation among the damsels of Fourth street. Fred C.

H. K. Richards. PORTLAND, OBE. The Market. Business is holding up wonderfully, considering the weather. Spring seems to be here to stay. The sunshine for the last few weeks has worked wonders in bringing out the stock. Foliage is coming out rapidly on the rose bushes and shrubbery. Daffodils are bursting into bloom on all sides. Carnations and roses, especially Maids, are show- ing the effect of the bright days. On the whole, the florists are delighted, as the lilies are rather backward. If everything goes well for the next two weeks they will be just right, but not in an oversupply. Daffodils, freesias, tulips, sweet peas and mignonette are the principal spring flowers. Ramblers, azaleas, rhododendrons, genistas and lilacs are much in evidence in the win- dows. Various Notes. Niklas & Son have opened a flower stand in the New Oregon hotel. Gus Bjorkman, of Seattle, Wash., spent several days in this city last week. E. R. C. SEATTLE. The Market. Business is slightly better in all de- partments of the flower trade. The Lenten season usually brings quietness, but this year it seems to have been more pronounced than formerly. The last two weeks, however, have shown im- provement and, with Easter almost upon us, flower sellers are showing brighter faces. Stock of most varieties is fairly abundant. Roses are about the only item showing any scarcity. Carnations a|:p plentifat and bringing? poor prices for mostly poor quality flowers. Bulb stock is selling well and pot plants, ferns, etc., are moving nicely. There will be a shortage on flowering plants THE NOVELTY OF THE SEASON "RAMON A" THE NEW RED CHEROKEE ROSE This sensational and magnlflcent new climbing rose occurred as a sport from the well- known Pink Cherokee (Rosa Slnlca, var. Anemone). It Is a stronger and more rampant grower than its parent, and produces during the spring and early summer months floweih in such profusion as to entirely cover the plant; in autumn there is a secondary crop ot bloom. The flowers are much larger than either the pink or white forms, with brilliaiu golden-yellow stamens and broad petals of a glorious carmine-crimson color; an unusual shade, wonderfully striking and effective; the foliage Is absolutely mildew-proof, a rich, glossy green, so bright that it appears as though varnished. The life-like illustration in our advertisement in The Review of February 20th, showing blooms and foliage natural size, pictures its beauty stronger than mere words. The original sport occurred on the nurseries of Messrs. Dleterlch & Turner, at Monte- bello, California. They, realizing its value and great beauty, propagated over one hundred thousand plants, from whom we acquired the entire stock. This is indicative of our faith in its value, and its coming popularity is attested by the fact that we have already bookea orders for many thousands of plants, hence we feel that we are safe in stating that "RAMONA" will have the largest first season's sale of any new rose ever offered to the American trade. -RAMONA" will be of special value as a garden rose to the entire Pacific Coast, the Southwestern, Gulf and South Atlantic States; it will prove hardy as far north as Philadelphia. For planting on pergolas, pillars, porches, etc., it is a rose of unique and beautiful effect; in addition, it makes an elegant hedge plant if properly trained and pruned, affording a relief from the stereotyped privet hedges, with the added value of a rich display of color. We are offering plants of "RAMONA" at the following prices, cash with order: In lots less than one hundred: From 2-inch pots, 35 cents each, $3.50 per dozen; from 3-lnch pots, 50 cents each, $5.00 per dozen; from 5-inch pots, $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. In lots of one hundred to Ave hundred: From 2-lnch pots, $20.00 per one hundred; from 3-inch pots, $30.00; from 5-inch pots, $60.00. In lots of Ave hundred to one thousand: From 2-inch pots, $125.00 per thousand; from . 3-inch pots, $150.00 per thousand. Parties desiring to list "Ramona" can be supplied by us with copies of the colored plate shown in The Review of February 20th, at the rate of $3.60 per hundred, $30.00 per thousand; larger quantities at special rates.

Sullivan, recently with Clarke Bros., Portland, Ore., now is employed at this store, Hollywood Gardens are figuring on the erection of considerable more glass at Hollywood. For the convenience of visitors to this plant it may be stated that trains on the Northern Pacific stop there, and to visit their plant at the Highlands use the Everett interurban, stopping at Foy station.

The Seattle Floral Co. disposed of a number of large palms, etc., to the park department for furnishing the new city greenhouses. T. W. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. There is still an excess of flowers and a scarcity of business. Never have vio- lets and bulbous stock been so plenti- ful or 80 cheap. The prevailing sun- shine and warm days and nights have had the effect of bringing into bloom everything that is seasonable. Boses, however, are not quite so much in evi- dence as they have been. Carnations are a glut and are likely to continue 80 for several weeks, provided the pres- ent sort of weather continues for that length of time. Easter lilies are in good supply and move well. Valley is good, but moves slowly. Freesias are not as strong as they have been. Hya- cinths of the Dutch sorts, both potted and cut, are seen everywhere. Tulips do not move as quickly as they should. From general appearances, there will be quantities of flowering stock in pots for Easter. Azaleas, cyclamens, lilies and rambler roses look well. Various Notes. G. Krouwel, representing Speelman & ^ons, Sassenheim, Holland, is calling on the local dealers. He came to San Fran- cisco by way of Japan and reports a pleasant journey all the way from Hol- land.

The death of Nathan D, Pierce, weU known in the nursery trade in Bhode Island, is recorded in this week's obitu- ary column. Henry Augustine, of Normal, 111., waa killed by a train March 8. A brief sketch of his career appears in this week's obituary column. The western states are quarantining against the alfalfa weevil and several of them have barred nursery stock that «ome8 packed in alfalfa. Each season greater numbers of suit- ably located florists are taking up land- ■scape work and are handling nursery stock. They rarely fail to find it profit- able. De. W. S. Regan, who is in charge of the nursery stock inspection work in Mas- sachusetts, recently told the New England Nurserymen's Association that eighteen new pests have been received on imported stock so far this season. J. Johannes, who formerly ran green- houses at Rockford, 111., but who has been spending the winter at Paris, 111., has returned to Rockford to execute the landscape work at the new Dr. James Sanitarium on Corey's Bluff. QUALIFIED IN WYOMING. The law in Wyoming permits no nursery to ship stock into the state un- less it holds the license of the state board of horticulture, such license not being obtainable until the nursery has filed a bond and a sworn copy of its certificate of inspection. The nurseries which have complied with these require- ments for the year 1913 are as follows: Arlington Nurseries, Marshall Bros., proprl- «tor8, Arlington, Neb. BartelcTes Seed Co., Denver, Colo. Biltmore Nursery, 0. D. Beadle, manager, Blltmore, N. C. Bismarck Nursery, O. H. Will & Co., pro- prietors, Bismarck, N. D. Colorado Nursery Co., H. A. Goocb, secretary, Loveland, Colo.

State Nursery Co., Helena, Mont. NEW YORKERS ARE RELIEVED. As has been reported in this depart- ment of The Review, New York nursery- men have been much perturbed over the introduction in the state legislature of a bill that would impose well-nigh intolerable conditions on those in the ousiness. Last week 's issue told of a large delegation going to Albany to op- pose the bill in committee. So deter- mined was the opposition that the dele- gation was assured that this so-called Vert bill would not be reported for passage and that it will be materially modified before it is heard from again. The provision particularly objected to was one making the original seller re- sponsible in the sum of $5 for the true- ness to name any time within five years of date of sale. THE STARK FAMILY TROUBLES. William P. Stark, president of the Wm. P. Stark Nurseries, Neosho, Mo., has filed suit against the Stark Bros. Nurseries & Orchards Co., and Edgar W. Stark, president, Lloyd C. Stark, vice-president, and Eugene Duncan, treasurer, asking for the appointment of a receiver for the company. He bases his petition on the following alle- gations: "That Edgar W. Stark has never learned the fundamental princi- ples of the business; that he is not familiar with the scope or with the details of the business; that he is in- competent to run the business, and yet he dictates to the other officers all of their official acts in connection with the business.

Stark and the wife of Clarence M. Stark, who was ap- pointed his guardian upon her applica- tion to the probate court to have him declared of unsound mind, fraudulent- ly conspired and confederated together to deprive W. P. Stark of any office in the management or control of the business, and without regard for the welfare of the company took control of the affairs of the company and placed it in the hands of persons who were under the domination of Edgar W. Stark, with the result that the business is in the hands of incompetent persons, and the property is depreciat- ing in value, and in danger of being entirely dissipated. "That through the unlawful con- spiracy, Edgar W.

There are some customers who have the habit of sending 4-cent, 5-cent and 10-cent postage stamps with their or- ders. These stamps can not be used since the parcel post has gone into effect; it must be parcel post stamps and large denominations of the other kind can not be exchanged, which makes it a loss. Customers could just as well send a paper dollar or two or even a five dol- lar bill instead of stamps; one will go just as safely as the other. The next thing is that many will send a postal card asking for a price list in such a hurry that there is one thing or another forgotten. I receive them in all styles; one that contained my address and nothing else. Some- times the man's signature is missing, but the most common thing omitted is the city and state of the sender. H. W.

There is, how- ever, an active demand that for the last week has been taking up most of the offerings. Judging from present indications, this market wUl have a fairly good supply of elegant stock for Easter. Roses are being cut in larger quan- tities than a fortnight ago. Carna- tions are holding up better than was expected. All colors seem to be mov- ing nicely. A good many of our local growers have large lots of bulbous stock that will make Easter nicely. There will also be a nice lot of lilies, but it cannot be ascertained as yet whether or not the supply will be ade- quate. Double violets were the one bad proposition in last week 's good market. They simply could not find enough buy- ers at any price. Neither orchids nor valley found a good market. The offerings of green goods are of high quality. Both plumosus and Sprengeri are in good supply. There is a good call for wild smilax for the decorations for the spring openings. Various Notes. C. E. Critchell reports that this year has been by far his best in Mexican ivy. The Bloomhurst Floral Co., of Lock- land, is sending some of the best car- nations of the season to the Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange. Clarence Ohmer, of West Palm Beach, Fla., is consigning excellent plumosus to E. G. Gillett. Geo. J. Ball, formerly of Terrace Park, near this city, but now of Glen EUyn, 111., was a visitor last week. Both Sydney Wertheimer and Sam Seligman were in the city at the close of last week. Other visitors included Mrs.' Nerval Kiger, of Marietta, O.; C. G. Perkins, of Jrifekson & Perkins Co., Newark, N. Y.4^>C. P.

Mention The Review when you write. ENCHANTRESS SUPREME JHE best Sport of Enchantress up to date, possessing all the vigor and freedom that dis- tinguish its parent. Color a light salmon pink — a color that is not only very attractive, but also ono 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 th6 latter. Has shown no inclination to be a burster. The weak points of Enchantress seem to have been lost in this Sport, and a trial of four years' duration convinces us of its great value.

Best 100 Scarlet at Cincinnati show, November, 1911 Best 100 Scarlet at St. Paul show, November, 1912 Best 100 Scarlet at Cleveland show, November, 1912 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. Calsrx: — Strong, large calyx; never bursts, very much on the order of Har- lowarden. 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. 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.

Robert Miller, president of the Miller^ Floral Co., Farmington, Utah, who spent several days here last week on his way home from a trip through the east, said January 22 that of all the novelties seen on his travels he was specially pleased with Carnation The Herald. He made a trip to Joliet to see it growing and said it looked to him like a good money-making proposition for his ship- ping trade in cut flowers. He is ship- ping over a wide radius in the inter- mountain territory, where there is a good market for red carnations, and he left a good-sized order for cuttings of The Herald for delivery March 1.

Stock of all kinds seems plentiful, especially violets. There are plenty of home-grown violets to be had at 25 cents per hundred. Roses, lilies, sweet peas, carnations, val- ley, etc., are equal to the demand and of a splendid grade. The outlook for Easter is fine. From present indica- tions prices will not take that enormous rise, giving the retailer an opportunity to dispose of lots of stock at a fair price. Various Notes. The last meeting of the Kentucky Society of Florists was honored by the attendance of one of Louisville's oldest florists, John Skrobanek. The establish- ment of Mr. Skrobanek, while modest, shows splendid care and lots of skill is displayed in producing about the best stock sent to the local market. The cheap carnation sales continue, only they have become still cheaper, a local department store offering them at 20 cents per dozen. E. J, Fancourt, of S. S.

Mention The Review when you write. NEWPOET, K. I. Adolph S. Franco, for several years assistant gardener on August Belmont's estate, Bythesea, has been appointed head gardener at Mr. Belmont's estate at Hempstead, Long Island, succeeding H. Golmour, who recently died. William Jurgens is cutting several thousand fine tulips daily for the New York and Providence markets. Oscar Schultz has been conducting a special sale of azalea plants during the last week. Paul Volquardson, who fractured a couple of ribs by falling on the icy sidewalk a fortnight ago, is as com- fortable as could be expected. A petition for the dissolution of the partnership of Gibson Bros, was heard last week before Judge Barrows in the Superior Court, but the parties at in- terest failed to agree and Duncan A. Hazard was appointed receiver on a $5,000 bond. W. H. M. BOCHESTEB, TX. Y. The monthly meeting of the Ladies' Florist Association was held March 4 at the home of Mrs. Eoswell S. Nagle in Vick Park B. Boutine business was transacted, as it was the first meeting with the new president, Mrs. Charles M. W. Suhr, in the chair. The consti- tution was read and reports were heard. Light refreshments were served at the close of the afternoon, and a social time was enjoyed. The next gathering'- of the association will be held April 1, when the ladies will be entertained at the Pinnacle Club by Mrs. A. Channing Rapalje.

JOSEPH HEACOCK CO., Wyncote, Pa., Railway Station, Jenfcmtowil. I Mt'titlnn The RpvIpw when yon wrUe. BUFFALO. The Market. After a week of the coldest weather of the season the conditions changed; the sun broke out and brought a thaw. I believe it is welcomed by most of the growers, as the general conditions seem to be late stock, especially in lilies. We will have good lilies in the city, but not the quantity that is needed. Business conditions remain about the same throughout Lent, with the excep- tion of the most welcome funeral work, of which the stores had a good run last week. Week-end sales have moved a tremendous quantity of stock that oth- erwise would have gone to the barrel. Club Meeting. The big event of the Florists' Club was held Tuesday, March 4. The at- tendance was gratifying to the com- mittee and naturally a good time fol- lowed. A short meeting preceded the banquet, the principal business being the election of officers. William Legg, the pioneer florist,' was elected presi- dent. No better choice than Mr. Legg could have been made. As one of the speakers of the evening said, "we have had a reign of the younger element; now let the older men have the rule." While Mr. Legg is considerably older than the other members, he is just as young in spirit and will keep the busi- ness lively during his career as presi- dent. Mr. Brown was elected vice- president and in his little response he said that he objected to being classed as an older man. This brought hearty applause from the members. The other officers were elected as follows: E. Sav- agg, secretary; E. C. Brucker, financial secretary; Wallace Eiss, treasurer. With- out flattery, I can safely say that a bet- ter set never held office. After the meeting the banquet was held in the dining-room of the hotel and the usual good feed followed. L. H. Neubeck was appointed host and any who know or ever heard of Mr. Neu- beck in business or pleasure know that he was the ideal one for the head of the table. Mr. Kasting was the first speaker and the members of the club listened to some mighty good advice. Before^ the party adjourned nearly everyone in tbe hall responded to the call of his name. B. A. S.

The coal market continues easy, but from the principal cities comes the word that cars on tracks are not so burden- some as they were a few weeks ago and that prices are, as a consequence, a little firmer. The coal trade is one of which "you never can tell" may well be said; the opposite of what is generally ex- pected frequently happens. Last autumn there was every indication of an ap- proaching fuel famine, but except for a sharp flurry at the time fires were started there has been exactly the re- verse of the conditions that were antici- pated. Look out for the year when it looks like an easy winter market; that will be the year everybody will get pinched. A PENNSYLVANIA KANOE. I have recently come into possession of a greenhouse or houses, 75x120 feet, with five ridges or gables. It is heated by steam, with one sixty horse-power boiler and one twenty-five horse-power boiler. The twenty-five horse-power one will heat the house except on a few of the coldest nights, when the ther- mometer is 20 or '6) degrees below zero. Now I am asking for advice on the heating of this bouse. It now has for piping one 2*^-'n*'h bead or feed pipe running the vidth ot the house, and 2-inch" flows rjnnin;^ the length of the house in each ridg'' and then re- duced to 1-inch coils and a 2-inch re- turn to the boiler. In several places in the coils the piping is reduced to %-inch, I suppose to save the cost in throttles or shut -off s. The system does ifOt heat satisfactorily. The larger boiler takes too touch fuel to run it and I am thinking of throwing put the whole system and putting in low pres- sure steam or hot water. If low pressure steam and hot water H. C.

The Florists^ Review 145 THE TRAVIS GREENHOUSE ROCKER GRATE will increase your heating capacity, because you will have complete control of your draft, which means less fuel, time, labor and trouble. The mash finger grate admits air through every air space and is the only perfect design. It is impossible to avoid this construction and receive the best results. They are the only rocker grates that will handle Pocahontas coal and not waste it in the ashpit. They are adapted to the tubular, fire box, in- ternally fired or sectional boilers. They are supported the same as stationary grates. No changes in the furnace whatever and no tools are required when installing them. You can use a cheaper quality of coal. An evenly distributed draft, completely controlled, burns cinders until they are brittle and are easily rattled through the grate. The particular construction of these grates relieves the cinders without molesting the fire bed. Many of our grates have been in constant use during the winter which is now drawing to a close, and we are receiving many testi- monials telling of the satisfaction and pleasure our customers are deriving from the Travis Rocker Grate.

The boiler house, pot- ting shed and packing shed extend en- tirely across the north end of the house, Buy the Chicago Trap It has two tanks; the larger one does not move. Only the small one moves to operate the valves. Objections to the tilting Trap are overcome by carrying the weight of fixed tank and the water on special fittings, and not on the trunnions, as in all other tilting traps. Only the pilot Tank moves on the CHICAGO TRAP. Trunnions are only U inch, and packed with METALLIC PACKING, which wears indefinitely. The valves are also packed with METALLIC PACKING.

W. S. From the description it would appear that the range consists of five houses, each 15x120 feet. The description also would indicate' that the main is too small, but the data are not definite enough to determine whether the radia- tion in the returns is sufficient. If hot water is to be used, it will be well to run three 2%-inch flow pipes in each of the houses to the end far- thest from the boiler and connect each of them with two 2-inch returns. Place one flow on each plate and the other under the ridge. In case low pressure steam is installed, run a 2V^-inch flow under each ridge and connect them with six or eight 1%-inch returns. Of course, all of the pipes should have a slight fall. Place a shut-off valve on each flow and return pipe where it en- ters the house. AN L-SHAPED STRUCTURE. I am enclosing a diagram of my two greenhouses, so that you may inform me as to the best arrangement »f the piping. You will note that one of the houses is already in use and contains 400 feet of 2-inch pipe. This piping, however, does not furnish sufficient heat. How much more piping will be needed to heat the house to 60 degrees in this part of New York state, where the outside temperature sometimes falls as low as 20 degrees below zero! The flow and return pipes for the new house will pass through the older one; will that raise the temperature sufficiently? What piping will be required for a tem- perature of 60 degrees in the new house? I can not flnd a plumber in this vicinity who has ever piped a greenhouse. What do you think of generators? Do they pay for them- selves in the saving of coal? S. H. -The sketch submitted shows that the older house is 16x50 and the new house 15x60. The new house is built across the end of the older one, so that the two houses form an L-shaped structure, with the older house as the upper part of the L and with the boiler shed at Deeds Speak Louder Than Words This principle has lifted the Kroeschell Boiler from a modest position into a world's r«cord with millions of feet of glass.

When the coils reach the mother end of the house they should be joined to a 3-inch return pipe and this should be con- nected with one of the return ports of the boiler. The returns should, of course, be given a slight faU. If the highest part of each of the flow pipes is connected with the ex- pansion tank, there will be no need of air valves. By using generators one is able to heat the water to a higher temperature, and this would make it possible to get along with two less returns in each house. STEAM IN SMALL HOUSES. I am having trouble with my heating plant. I took out hot water and installea steam last year, so I could heat my resi- dence from the greenhouse boiler, I am using the old pipe ivnder my benches. I have found the pipes are scaly and stop up my pot trap, so that the pipes fill up with water. I am going to take all the pipes out this summer and clean them well. I would like you to tell me the proper way to pipe my house. I want to install a No. 1 Morehead return steam trap. Will it operate on fifteen pounds of steam f That is enough to heat my place. I have three houses, 20x60, running north and south. How many lines of pipe are required in each house to heat to 50 and ' 70 degrees, zero weather! We often have zero in this section of Ohio.

BLOOMSBUBQ, PA. The location of the Dillon green- houses was changed last fall to a new site nearby. The newer houses were removed and a new plant erected on a sidehill with a corridor at either end of the range, making it complete, with packing room, ofSce and ice vault. The verbena, which made the place famous, is still largely grown, but more attention is paid to roses. Radiance is popular. A few Perles are still grown. J. L. Dillon, Jr., has taken charge and promises to make good. Wm. Ahlers has purchased the plant formerly owned by the Bloomsburg Floral Co. and has it running in fine shape. Eoses are the main crop. TO CLEAN GREENHOUSE GLASS. Can you tell me what is a good solution to use in cleaning glass in greenhouses? I have seen an advertisement of some sort of mixture for this purpose, but it would cost too much to purchase it in Chicago and have it shipped to this part of Oklahoma. W. W. Without knowing what substance it is that you desire to clean off the glass, it is not easy to state what would be the best cleanser. If you wish to re- move soot or something of that char- acter, it will be necessary to use either a solution of lye or of caustic soda, both of which are easy to get and are not costly. But keep these solutions away from the putty as much as pos- sible, and also from the hands of the operator, as the potash and soda are both injurious to putty or to the skin of the hands. W. H. T. New Ulm, Minn.— George Dill, of St. Paul, has made arrangements for the construction of greenhouses here. Last fall he purchased three lots, one block west of the fair grounds. On that site he intends to erect two houses, each 18x100, and expects to be ready for business about April 15. His son, John Dill, who has been employed as an ex- pert florist in one of the largest St. Paul establishments, will have active" charge of the greenhouses here and the firm name will be Dill & Son.

Business was much better during the last week and the Lenten season so far has had little or no effect in the cut flower trade. Eoses and carnations are coming in more plentifully and are choice. Violets and sweet peas have been in good demand. Azaleas and bulb- ous stock sell well. Funeral orders con- tinue to be quite heavy. Various Notes. Champion & Co. report funeral orders as being heavy. This week they have several wedding decorations. At Jas. Bruce 's range on Kensington street everything is in fine shape. He is cutting choice carnations just now and by next week his roses will be in full crop. Bedding stock is thrifty. There always is an attractive window display in the store of the S. H. Moore Oo. Funeral orders are reported as be- ing heavy. At the i>lant of the Doolittle Floral Co. stock is in fine shape for Easter. The lilies will just be right and the house of azaleas is right on the dot. Roses are coming along nicely and will be in heavy crop around Easter. Bed- ding stock, which is grown in immense quantities, is strong and thrifty. Charles Munro reports funeral orders as exceptionally heavy and sweet peas and violets in special demand. This week he has two large decoration or- ders, one for Malley's, New Haven's largest dry goods store, and one for Mendell & Freedman's spring opening. Andrew McCrea reports business as being entirely satisfactory. Thos. Pattison, the West Haven flo- rist, is shipping exceptionally choice callas. He reports a heavy demand for bulbous stock. He is cutting choice White Wonder carnations at present. Boses will be in heavy crop at Easter and he expects the larger percentage of his lilies to be on time. At Jos. J. Sokol's plant everything is in good shape. His houses of lilies are exceptionally fine and the Spirsea Oladstone is certainly a grand lot. Car- nations continue in heavy crop. At Johnson's plant in Whitney ville stock is coming along nicely. For his Easter trade he has a nice lot of lilies, «pir8eas, azaleas, cinerarias and primu- las. Business is reported as being quite satisfactory. Mr. Johnson disposes of all the stock he can grow in his local retail trade. M. B. F.

Gentemann Bros, say their retail business has been steadily growing and the last year was one of the best in their career. The business was started by their father, C. F. W. Gentemann, over thirty years ago and the business has been conducted on the same site, although on a constantly expanding scale, ever since. The present members of the firm are Philip and Herman A. Gentemann, who are assisted in the business by their sister, Miss Minnie Gentemann. Their plant at 636 South Eleventh street recently has been re- modeled and is now one of the best and most completely equipped in this sec- tion of the country. In the year 1901 the two brothers • assumed charge of the plant and had it thoroughly remodeled. The present plant is 80x200. The houses are steam heated. The firm not only does a good wholesale trade, but an extensive retail business. The wholesale end covers a radius of 150 miles. ELMIBA, N. Y. The United States Cut Flower Co. is breaking ground for the addition to be built by King Construction Co. Eichard King, the superintendent, says the returns for stock this season have been far above the average, which vouches for quality. Easter stock is promising; a large batch of lilies are just right. The method of transplanting carnations from the cut- ting bed to the bench and replanting outdoors has proved such a success that the entire stock will be treated thus this season. Mr. King expects to at- tend the National Flower Show with a special exhibit of Eichmond roses. H. N. Hoffman says it has been a banner season for his nursery business. While the price of fruits is much lower, really first-class stock holds its own. JohnEudy, the carnation specialist, is giving considerable attention to vio- lets, of which there are not many grown in this section. He has a thrifty stock.

The Florists^ Review III THE DISCRIMINATING BUYER should appreciate the value of the fine points in good construction. Here are some of the fine points in the construction of GARLAND Trussed Iron Frame Houses The Garland Semi-malleable Cast-iron Gutter and Drip Conductor is used in all our Iron Frame construction. The Garland Semi-malleable Cast- iron Eave and Drip Conductor is the only cast-iron eave on the market today. Both the gutter and the eave carry a continuous glazing strip and glass stop, as well as a large drip conductor. The wooden rafters are secured to gutters and eaves by brass screws. The Ridge Casting is made of the best grade of iron and is so con- structed that it not only serves as a lock joint for the T-iron rafter, but also serves as an excellent support for the ridge. The Angle Iron Purlin is securely of a small section of angle and four is punched for glass spacing. Rafters brass screws and not clips. The T-iron house structures. The T-iron has a angle becau fastened to the T-iron rafter by the use machine bolts. All angle iron purlin are fastened to purlin by means of rafter is best adapted for steel green- great advantage over the flat bar or se of its shape, and is therefore better able to resist buckling than other shapes of steel of like weight and size. The Post Top, made of best grade of iron, holds the T-iron rafter in its socket joint and supports the gutter or eave plate. It is threaded to receive the post, making a solid joint throughout. The casting is counter-bored, so that thread is protected from corrosion. The Cast-iron Down Spout is used for draining the roof water and con- J sists of as many pieces of 4-inch cast-iron pipe as are needed and a 4- inch double hub cast-iron tee. Note that the drip conductor and pipe is tapped, into which nipples are screwed. Drainage of drip conductor is thus secured by connecting the nipples with a short piece of hose. Downspouts may be placed at any position or number of positions desired in the run of gutters. All downspouts are arranged to come inside the house. The Cast-iron Footpiece not only serves as a good foot- ing for the post, but also protects the post from corrosion. The Garland Cast-iron Footpiece is cheap insurance for your houses.

The accompanying illustration shows a wedding supper decoration done re- . ently at Mount Clemens, Mich., by August Von Boeselager, of that city. The table was seventy-five feet long and thirty-two feet wide. In the center was ;i pool of water 9 x 16, having in its center a pretty fountain. A strip of water five inches wide bordered the whole table and in this were arranged Winsor carnations and Paper White nar- cissi. Twenty-five bags of natural moss were used on the table, as well as 150 Lorraine begonias and 2,000 Komans, the begonias being supplied by Eobert Craig Co., Philadelphia; twenty-five cases of smilax and 300 Christmas trees also were used in the decoration. In the center of the room was suspended a large bell and around this were a num- ber of small bells, each of which repre- sented a month in the year. At mid- night the bells rang. Sleigh bells under the table also rang, while a large elec- tric sign changed from 1912 to 1913, as it was a New Year's eve wedding. The bells and lights, 5,000 extra ones being used, were all controlled by one man. H. S. . THE TBEND OF THE TBADE. Problems of Distribution. There are those of the more thought- ful of the men observing the progress of events in the flower business who believe that the greater enterprise has of late been manifested among the pro- ducers rather than among the dis- tributors— in other words, that the growers have outstripped the retailers. If the condition is as these persons be- lieve it to be, some interesting develop- ments are sure to ensue. If it be true that the problem has become one of distribution instead of production, it follows that the retailers will be called on to take prompt action; that if, as a body, they do not keep up with the times, then some close-think- ing, far-seeing, daring members of the retail branch will come out in front with new ways of merchandising the material at hand — either that or the re- tailing of flowers will pass into other hands. It will be another case of the survival of the fittest. If the stock is here it must be sold. How and by whom? Mass Immobile. The nature of the retail trade as it has been conducted has made it difficult to change as conditions change. It is not easy to teach old dogs new tricks, and it is even less easy, after a man has made at least a living in a certain way for many years, to turn him to a course almost the opposite of the one pursued so long. It would be difficult to chcange if we were so located that changing would do any good, but the majority of retail- floTWIts are outside the busy downtown centers and in the quiet backwater of business life. They don't know how to meet the competi- tion of the man, possibly not himself a florist, who opens a flower store on the main street and applies department store methods to its management. For the older florists who have fol- lowed the established methods, dealing principally with regular customers, giv- ing the best service that was within their ability, charging fair fixed prices the season through, doing about so much business all the time, the in- creased production of cut flowers, when it began to be apparent a few years ago, meant little more than the easier filling of orders. . Later it meant a lit- tle lower cost price and a little better profit. It did not mean much increase in volume of sales. Then the price cutter came. But the mass of the trade was im- mobile; it could not easily adapt itself to the new conditions. A few, it is true, have gone out after a big volume of sales at prices that made the profit depend as much on the buying as on the selling. In the big cities the de- partment stores have either gone into the flower business or leased space for outsiders to run flower departments. The Disparity in Prices. At first the big buyers were given an indifferent reception. Some thought them an aid, others a menace. Then as production continued to increase they But he uses only a small part of the stock that must find an outlet. So the big buyer steps in. He stands ready to take what most needs a market. Today he will have a rose sale; tomorrow, or- chids; next day, violets; Monday, carna- tions; it is all the same to him. He must have a full line, but he works principally with the flowers that are most plentiful. Of course the buyer who isn't partic- ular what he buys, and will take the lot, gets a better price than the man who wants just certain varieties, grades and quantities. And the increasing pro- portion of the production that is being sold to the department store class of retailers, or to those who are trying to compete with them, is steadily pull- ing down the average returns to the growers. The only saving clause is that it is only in a bad glut indeed that much stock goes to waste. Will Wholesalers Betoil? Much as the retailers are disturbed by the changing conditions, the whole- salers are in many instances still more discontented. Some of the growers and wholesalers feel that the retailers have not been sufficiently alert to broaden the outlet for flowers; they feel that the retailers have held prices up in the face of the rising tide of production and thereby added to their individual profits for the moment at the expense of the whole industry. It probably is not true that the retail florist has been enjoying a better margin of profit, all things considered, thdn has his neigh- bor, the butcher, grocer or dry goods man, but he may not have seen just how to increase his sales in just the way the grower would have liked. At any rate, some growers and whole- salers think it may shortly be up to them to deal direct with the consumer. Already several experiments are in progress in various parts of the country. This does not refer to those wholesalers who gradually added to their retail Wedding Supper Decoration by A. Von Boeselager, Mt. Clemens, Mich. came to be an important factor. But all is not well. The retailer who follows the old method, as nearly all still do, and who buy« only selected stock, the kind his orders call for, not the kind the whole- saler wants to sell, pays a fair price. sales until, when they found they could not well handle both, they preferred to let the wholesale end take second place rather than relinquish their retail cus- tomers. But it refers to those • who,^ after relying for years on a wholesale outlet, have opened retail stores for the* 8 The Florists^ Review Mahch 20, 1913. sale of their stock direct to the public. These experiments will be watched with keen interest. If they succeed, others are sure to try the plan, and if they fail it is by no means sure that the reason for failure will be rightly ap- praised. One of the peculiar things of this world is the number of people who can put their finger right on the weakness in the other fellow that caused him to fall down, who are sure they can succeed where the first man failed. The growers who are going into re- tailing are not, it is thought, trying to take the retailer's occupation or profit away from him. They merely are sav- ing their own bacon, as the saying goes. They see their returns decreasing while their expenses are going up and they fear that the facilities for production have increased faster than the facili- ties for distribution. They think they can see the day when the old methods will no longer serve their purpose and they want to figure out a new method before that day dawns. One grower has a chain of three stores, and several others have two retail stores each. It is simply going back to the beginning, selling, as thousands of successful flo- rists in the smaller cities sell, the product of the greenhouses in one or more downtown stores. THE GBAND ABMT EMBLEM. The illustration on page 9 shows an especially good reproduction of the G. A. B. badge in flowers. It is the work of C. P. Mueller, Wichita, Kan. Some who have made the badge will note certain variations here from the ordinary design. It is because this was the reproduction of the badge worn by an officer. From the florists' point of view the excellence of the design is that it was made on a broad green back- ground. Usually the florist makes it without a background and he has his troubles in reproducing the flag in flow- ers and getting any sort of recognizable form. Here an actual flag was used, with only the metal parts of the badge in flowers and chenille. The cycas leaves add to the striking character of the illustration, though many will ques- tion the effect in the design itself, thinking they stand too far from the piece. HYDBANOEAS. C. G. Anderson, of Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton Grove, 111., is not one of those who think that the new French hydrangeas will drive Otaksa out of the running as an Easter plant. In support of his contention that it takes some- thing pretty- good to displace Otaksa he presents the photograph reproduced to accompany this note. It shows one of the hydrangeas -flowered for blaster by Mr. Anderson. LISTEN TO 'AEBY! This is from the Horticultural Trade Journal (British) of March 5: MH. E. Philpott, florist, Winnipeg, Canada, who left Kent thirty years ago, is now on a visit to England, and attended the B. H. S. show yesterday. In the evening he was the guest of C. Engelmann, at the Horticultural Club, and afterwards attended a meeting of the Perpetual Flowering Carnation So- ciety, where he received a cordial wel- come. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Philpott said he arrived at his des- tination in Canada with fourpence in his pocket, and had now retired from business with £25,000 to his credit." CYFBESSENE. Dr. Allan F. Odell, assistant professor of chemistry in the Louisiana State University, has undoubtedly performed a distinct service to humanity in his successful isolation of the essential oil, which he named Cypressene, as the re- sult of a series of experiments with sawdust from cypress lumber and shingles. He claims, and other well known chemists agree with him, that this is the peculiar quality in the wood, cypress, that gives to it the lasting properties for which it has been famous since the earliest times. It is now more than two years since Dr. Odell began his search for the prop- erty of endurance in this wood, and after trying other methods, he took as the last one available to chemists the "destructive" process. He placed 275 gallons of sawdust in a large iron retort and subjected it to a roasting, distilling the gases and steam. This Hydrangea Otakia. process produced 125 gallons of dis- tillate— a tar-like liquid composed of wood alcohol, creosote, acid common to all woods, and the much sought Cy- pressene. This latter constituent has never been found in the by-products of other woods when submitted to a like test, and he declares ' it is the peculiar property of cypress. He thinks it is the presence of this oil that gives to cypress its endurance when exposed to trying climatic conditions and the "wet and dry" of boat-building and green- houses. In a paper read before the Louisiana section of the American Chemical So- ciety, Dr. Odell said: "Consider for the moment one use to which this tar oil might be put. In the creosoting of crossties and the like, oil from other woods is used, thereby quadrupling the life of the tie. Now, the crude tar oil from cypress, in addition to the creo- sote, contains a large amount of the sesquiterpens (which he named Cypress- ene) and this pressed into the tie would prolong the life of the tie indefinitely — for example, it should give to a hard wood, such as oak, the everlasting prop- erties of the softer cypress." If Dr. Odell is correct in his conclu- sions, and there seems to be no doubt among scientists that he is right, his discovery of the vital principle of lon- gevity in cypress wood means much to those who are forced by business con- ditions to use lumber and timbers in ex- posed places. If hardwood may be given the unequaled properties of en- durance known to be present in cypress a valuable discovery has been made. It raises then the question of supply, and that is one for the cypress mills of the south to settle. At the present, as we understand it, not a large per- centage of them are equipped for ex- tracting the by-products of the wood, but no doubt they will properly equip to meet the demand, so far as possible, for this new wood product, Cypressene.

There is a little improvement notice- able in cut flower conditions. Prices as yet show small advances only in certain lines, and no striking rise in prices seems probable for Easter. Usually Sat- urday is a good cleaning up day, but March 15 proved an exception to this rule, trade being excessively dull, and many flowers remained unsold. Bosea are decidedly soft and prices are, if any- Mabch 20, 1913. The Florists^ Review 9 thing, lower than a week ago. High ^rade American Beauties are likely to be a scarce article for Easter. Hardly uny are now to be seen and the demand tor the short-stemmed stock is poor. A Jew of the newer varieties, such as Sun- burst, Taft, Ward, etc., sell fairly well, but the older sorts are druggy. The demand for White Killarney, which has been good, has fallen oflf. Carnations are in a. little better condition than roses. As most flowers are now oflf crop, it seems unlikely that there will be any decided advance in price even on these. Violets have been having a hard time of it, but better things are looked for :it the end of the current week, and the same is true of sweet peas, which are likely to sell well. Cut lilies sell all the way from $6 to $10 per hundred. Callas are going slowly. Bulbous stock has been quite a drug of late and prices have been unprofitable. Snapdragons are more abundant. Pink shades have the call over all others. The dark shades are hard to sell. Valley is doing a little better, and is likely to be in active demand for Easter. The call for cattleyas has been rather disappointing of late. TriansB is much more popular than SchroedersB. Gardenias have been going rather slowly. The quality is ex- ceptionally good. Quite a variety of miscellaneous flowers arrive. Sales on these are uncertain. For green stock the demand shows a decided improve- ment. Pot plant trade is booming, and every local grower is pretty well sold out. It looks like a plant Easter again. Lilies are likely to be sufficient for all de- mands. Prices are $10 and $12 per hun- dred flowers and buds. Ramblers in many varieties seem to come second in popularity, but the sales of genistas, azaleas, bulb pans, acacias, etc., are all excellent. Club Meeting. There was an attendance of 150 at the meeting of the Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club, March 18, in spite of the proximity of Easter. Several new members were elected. Edwin Jenkins gave a splendid lecture on sweet peas, which was followed by an animated dis- cussion. Wni. Sim was awarded a cul- tural report of merit for grand vases of Christmas Pink, Mrs. Smalley and Florence Denzer sweet peas. There was considerable discussion on publicity, good progress being made. Arrangements were completed for the trip to the New York show, a large delegation being assured. Various Notes. The trade will learn with regret of the death, March 18, of the youngest child of E. Allan Peirce, a girl of 2 years of age. F. W. Fletcher has renamed his new snapdragon, Melrose, finding that an English variety named Aurora was al- ready on the market. Mr. Fletcher has several pink snapdragons with true waved flowers, a great advance on the hooded type. The Boston Cooperative Flower Mar- ket will hold its flower show at the market on Park street, April 12. W. H. Elliott is chairman of the exhibition committee and an attractive lot of prizes has already been secured, includ- ing several silver cups. Shamrocks were quite a feature in many retailers' windows this year. Gal- vin had one of his large windows at- G. A. R. Badsfe in Flowers by C. P. Mueller, 'Wichita, Kansas. tractively arranged with them. While there was a large sale of shamrocks, the supply was more than equal to the demand this year. John Barr is one of the most success- ful of our local growers of carnations and no better kept commercial place is to be found in this vicinity. In addi- tion to his fine variegated seedling, Mrs. B. F. Cheney, he grows White Wonder, White Perfection, Pink Delight, Glori- osa. Beacon and Winsor. His last Lord & Burnham house, 35 x 300, is now a grand sight, and he hopes to build more like it before long. Penn, on Bromfield street, has been making a special line of rambler roses in baskets at $1..10 each and has had a great demand for them. Geo. E. Buxton has a remarkable sport on his Killarney pink snapdragon, which he descriles as having more the appearance of a hyacinth spike than anything else. Great interest is being taken in the coming New York show and a large at- tendance from Boston and vicinity is assured. F. J. Dolansky & Co. have a grand crop of cattleyas and gardenias for Easter. On the latter they have the field practically to themselves, as other growers seem unable to flower the plants in winter. In Sydney Hoflfman 's window displays, which included a fine assortment of beautifully grown plants, some fine spec- imen dendrobiums from J. T. Butter- worth 's were noted last week. Thomas J. Grey, who retired from the firm of T. J. Grey Co., and sold out his interest in the business, has accepted a position with Joseph Breck & Sons, the firm with which he got his first insight, into the seed business. Mr. Grey is one of the best known seedsmen in New England and is well and favorably known by a host of private gardeners, as well as by those in the trade. Mr. and Mrs. B. Hammond Tracy will be among those attending the New York show. Mr. Tracy reports the de- mand for gladioli as being remarkably good. The Sutermeister Estate, of Read- ville, and Mann Bros., of Randolph, are each cutting some fine Spanish iris. Local growers and retailers are hoping that the weather at the end of the cur- rent week will be as mild as last week. March 15 we had a minimum of .58 de- grees, a maximum of 68 degrees, and a real summer thunderstorm, for variety, at night. R. & J. Farquhar & Co. have the greenhouses at their Roslindale estab- lishment entirely devoted to the raising of new Chinese plants, of which they have an immense stock. These will be grown at their new nursery on Cape Cod, where hybrid rhododendrons also are being finely grown. Among visitors the last week were R. T. Brown, Queens, N. Y.; J. R.

In Carnation The Herald Peter Olsem has carried forward the work begun by the late James Hartshorne. He began where Mr. Hartshorne left off. The Herald is the result of a cross between two of Mr. Hartshorne 's unnamed seedlings, one of them having also been one of the seed parents of Harlowarden. The illustration on page 11 shows the house of The Herald grown this year by Mr. Olsem at the establish- ment of the Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, 111. The house contains 6,000 plants, from March struck cuttings benched in the first part of August. The house was in good crop October 1 and it was on the bench shown that the blooms were taken that won first pre- mium in the classes for red at the St. Paul and Cleveland flower shows in November. The photograph was taken in January, when 15,000 cuttings had already been taken from the plants. To date 75,000 cuttings have been rooted and shipped, going into every state in the Union, which insures The Herald receiving a thorough trial next season. Orders on hand assure a sale exceed- ing 100,000 before the season is over. Both Mr. Olsem and Mr. Pyfer are well pleased with the way the trade has taken to The Herald and they say that the behavior of the variety in their house this season leads them to believe that it will have an even larger sale next year. CARNATION BSEEDING. [A paper by William Stuart, •t the U. S. Department of Ag^rlculture, read at a recent meeting of the Florists' Club of Washington, at Washington, D. C] When I was invited by the chairman of your program committee to give you an address on some phase of carnation breeding, my first impulse was to plead a lack of ability, as well as of time to accept such an undertaking. The per- sistence and winning persuasive powers of your chairman, however, were of such a nature that I could not well do otherwise than accept his invitation, but with this understanding, that I would not be expected to occupy much of your valuable time. It may not be inappropriate at the outset to say that my first interest in the carnation dates back nearly a quar- ter of a century, when as a young man I began a three-year greenhouse ap- prenticeship. This was prior to the day of the long-stemmed carnation, when such varieties as Boule d» Neige and Alegatiere were in their zenith. Carnation breeding was little practiced in those days. The writer first became directly interested in plant breeding some nine years ago, when, as horti- culturist at the Vermont Station, car- nation breeding was indulged in partly as a diversion and partly to study some problems connected with the work of breeding. The results of some of these studies were presented in the twentieth annual report of the Vermont Agricul- tural Experiment Station in 1908, pages 355 to 358, under the caption of "Sea- sonal Influence in Carnation Crossing Relative to Seed Production." The con- clusions arrived at from this investiga- tion were that the early crosses — that is, those made in October and Novem- ber— seemed to give a considerably higher percentage of successes, a much larger number of seeds per capsule; a higher percentage of germination and apparently heavier seed. The prob- able reason for better results from the early crosses was assumed to be the greater vigor of the plants rather than seasonal influence. Norton's Theory. In the winter of 1907-08, investiga- tions were undertaken looking toward the corroboration or disproval of Nor- ton's theory, expressed in December, 1904, with respect to the possibility of our commercial carnation being an unfixed hybrid between a single and a true double. Carnation seedlings were I classed into three groups, singles, semi- doubles and doubles. The semi-double represented the commercial florists' type, and the double, what is known as the bullhead. These investigations were pursued at the Vermont Station during the winters of 1907-08 and 1908-09, and in the greenhouses at the United States De- partment of Agriculture, at Arlington Farm, in 1910-11. The results of this inquiry are now embodied in a report soon to be issued in bulletin form by the Vermont Experiment Station. The crosses which were made may be clai^sed under five groups: 1. Single X single. 2. Single x double. .S. Commercial x single. 4. Commercial x commercial. 5. Double X double. In the first group twenty-two crosses netted 354 flowering plants, of which all were single. In group 2, single x double, forty- four crosses gave 1,004 flowering plants, of which four were single, 988 com- mercial and twelve double; percentages, respectively, of .4, 98.4 and 1.2. Six crosses in group 3, commercial x single, resulted in forty-one flowering plants, of which twenty-one were single and twenty commercial; percentages, re- spectively, of 51.2 and 48.8. Twenty-four crosses in group 4, com- mercial X commercial, netted 260 flow- ering plants, of which sixty-two were single and 198 semi-double and double; percentages, respectively, of 23.8 and 76.2. In group 5 all efforts to cross double with double were unsuccessful. This is in direct corroboration of similar efforts by Norton. It does not necessarily prove, however, that such crosses can- not be effected. In order that we may fully under- stand the significance of the above re- sults, it seems desirable to enter into a brief discussion of the principles of heredity as exemplified in Mendel's law of inheritance. Mendel's Law of Inheritance. While you are all more or less famil- iar with the Mendelian theory of in- heritance, it may not be amiss to pre- sent at this time a brief interpreta- tion of it, in order that we may better understand the discussion which is to follow. In 1900 Hugo de Vries redis- covered an old paper by Gregor Men- del, which had been presented before a scientific society in Brunn, Austria, in February and March, 1865. This paper contained a detailed account of care- fully conducted investigations with the garden pea, in which the inheritance of certain definite characters was noted. Only such varieties of the garden pea were selected for the work as had been proven by several seasons' culture to reproduce themselves absolutely true from seed. Another desideratum in their choice was that they possess op- posing pairs of unit characters, Mendel studied seven pairs of these opposing characters, one of which will be sufficient to illustrate the method he pursued. This pair of characters were round and wrinkled seed. These, being well defined characters, were easy to study and to interpret in the resulting progeny. It was found that the hy- brids of this cross, or the Fi genera- tion, gave all round seeds and this character was therefore called the dom- inant one. In the F2 generation, from self-fertilized plants, he found that there was a splitting up of these char- acters in a fairly uniform and definite ratio. On an average this ratio ap- proximated seventy-five per cent round and twenty-five per cent wrinkled. The wrinkled pea was then said to be re- cessive to the round. In the subse- jr Mabch 20, 1913. The Florists^ Review n Hoose of Carnation The Herald at the Establishment of the Chicago Carnation Ca, Joliet, III. quent generation, wrinkled seeds pro- duced all wrinkled, while twenty -five per cent of the round gave all rounds and the remaining fifty gave wrinkled and round in the same proportion as the F2 generation. From these data Mendel formulated the following nu- merical ratio for the F2 generation of hybrids: 1:2:2, or twenty-five per cent dominants, fifty per cent dominant re- cessives and twenty-five per cent re- cessives. Explanation of Terms Used. To facilitate further discussion along this line, the algebraic expression R+2RW-f E will be used to denote the numerical value of the hybrids, R denoting round, and W wrinkled, and R W the hybrid between R and W. In the hybrid R W the recessive W is written in the lower case, thus R w. Such an expression always denotes an unexpressed or recessive character. For the purpose of further discussion, it seems desirable to introduce other terms which are inimical to brevity and to clear expression of thought. The first term to be considered is that of the gamete. This term is employed by the biologist to denote the sexual cells of a plant. It is supposed to contain all of the heritable characters of a plant or animal. The fusion of a male and female gamete results in the for- mation of what is technically known as a zygote. If the fusing gametes are of a similar constitution — that is, pos- sessing identical unit characters, as in the case of pure strains of plants — th( resulting zygote is called a homozygote because it possesses a homogeneous constitution. On the other hand, if gametes of unlike constitution fuse With each other the resulting union is called a heterozygote, because it contains un- like opposing characters. Therefore each ovule and pollen grain developed in plants produced from the R w seed would theoretically contain the R and W characters, and, according to the law of chance, would combine in about equal proportions. This may be best illustrated in the following manner: Ovule Pollen Singles Crossed Witb Doubles. In group 2 we have an entirely dif- ferent proposition. Here the female seed parent possesses the S unit, and the pollen or male parent the D or dou- ble character. By combining these we get the hybrid D s, as follows: Ovule Pollen S W --- Equals R -f 2 R w -f W, or the expression of 1: 2: 1. It is important, however, to remem- ber that Mendelian inheritance only gives such an expression as the above when the plants employed are gametic- ally pure; that is, in which two oppos- ing or contrasting characters do not exist in the same gamete. With this conception of Mendelian inheritance and the factors which govern its ex- pression, we may now redirect our at- tention to the data previously sub- mitted with reference to the results secured from crosses in groups 1 to 4. In group 1 singles were crossed with singles, and it will be remembered that the resulting progeny were all single- flowered. In this case it is evident that the ovules and pollen grains of the sin- gle flowering carnation only contain the S unit character, and for that reason it is only possible for the parent plants to transmit the S unit to their progeny. Equals D s. S being recesslre, It Is unex- pressed. Theoretically, then, the first genera- tion hybrids all produce flowers of the commercial type. The data presented show that, while this was closely ap- proximated, it was not absolutely at- tained. Of the 1,004 seedlings which were flowered, four produced single flowers, 988 commercial, and twelve were classed as doubles. In the light of our present knowledge there is some reason to doubt the accuracy of the observation upon the twelve doubles noted. It is quite possible that they may have been rather fuU-petaled bursters of the commercial type. How- ever, be this as it may, the evidence seems to overwhelmingly support the idea that the single and double unit characters of the carnations are sepa- rate and distinct entities. The pres- ence of a single plant in each of four crosses may be accounted for by as- suming that, through some accident in making the cross or in emasculating the flower, a pollen grain from a single may have been transferred to the stigma from the forceps used in per- forming the operation. The percent- 12 The Florists' Review March 20, 1913. -."-"-'-"-'- S ages of singles, commercials and dou- bles from group 2 were respectively .4, 98.4 and 1.2. Theoretically, there should not have been any singles or doubles. As already explained in the case of the doubles, it is not at all certain that they were true doubles. In group 3 a different set of factors are involved. Here we have the Da hybrid ovules crossed with pollen from the gametically pure single. This cross is expressed in the following manner: Ovule Pollen D~ - - - _ S - - - - Equals D s + S. While the data obtained from this cross are too meager to permit of much generalization, it nevertheless closely approached the Mendelian ratio. Theo- retically, fifty per cent of the seedling plants should have produced single flowers and the remaining fifty per cent those of the commercial type. The figures actually obtained were 51.2 per cent single and 48.8 per cent commer- cial. Slightly different factors were in- volved in group 4. In this cross we are dealing with the unfixed hybrid in both parents, and in consequence have the opposing unit characters in both parents as shown in the following dia- gram: Ovule Pollen .- D S'--- * S In this, according to the law of chance, the probable combination would be D + 2D8 + S, or 1:2:1. The dia- gram shows how these characters may combine. The data obtained from such crosses show that of the 200 plants flowered, sixty-two produced single flowers and 198 commercial and double, or percentages respectively of 23.8 and 76.2. The theoretical percentage should have been 25 per cent single and 75 per cent commercial and double. No attempt was made to distinguish be- tween the double and the commercial. [OoDtinued on pace 56.] NEW YORK. The Market. A dull week was enlivened by a brisk business March 15, Saturday, when West Twenty-eighth street showed re- freshing activity. There are, of course, calamity howlers who decry the market as "the worst ever," but an accommo- dating and statistical dealer, referring to his sales for the last few years, found that his sales for the correspond- ing week of 1912 were just 63 cents smaller, indicating that conditions are about the same as for the correspond- ing season of previous years. American Beauties took a further tumble to 40 to 50 cents for specials, with no great business even at this low figure. The lower grades have also weakened. Teas are in good supply at 10 cents for choice blooms, down to 2 cents for culls. Choice long-stemmed Chatenays and Eichmonds bring as much as 12 cents. Dark cattleyas bring 20 to 35 cents, or even 40 cents, and move off well. Schroederae continues dull and may be had at almost any price. The quotations range from 10 cents up. Carnations are looking up somewhat and for choice white as much as 5 to 6 cents was demanded on the eve of St. Patrick's day. Commission men who have been firm at these figures have sold some, but carried over more than they sold. Many, however, have sold at 4 cents. Despite the early Easter, lilies are plentiful and of good quality; 8 cents was the top notch for choice blooms last week. Valley shows a slight improvement, but is still far from strong; fine, long, freshly cut val- ley can be had at 3 cents and good flowers at a shade under that. Gar- denias are quiet. Choice blooms are not plentiful. The run of the market brings $1 to $2.50 per dozen. Sweet peas are plentiful, particularly in the lower grades, which go as low as 10 cents per dozen bunches. For choice Spencer sorts as much as $1 or even $1.25 is paid. Violets are a little firmer, Governor Herrick bringing 10 to 20 cents, Marie Louise 20 to 30 cents and Princess of Wales 30 to 40 cents -for long-stemmed flowers. The supply is abundant. Narcissus poeticus ornatus is a drug on the market at 75 cents to $1.25 per hundred. Paper Whites are less plentiful, the supply beginning to fall off. They bring $1.25 to $2. Cal- las attract but little attention, sales being made at the previous quotation of 60 cents to $1.25 per dozen. Hya- cinths are giving out, but demand is correspondingly slack. Daffodils sold at 50 cents to $2. Southern supplies are arriving and go for a song. Tulips are quoted at $1 to $3 per hundred. Stocks are plentiful at 25 cents. Daisies bring 75 cents to $1.25 per hundred. Mignonette is in ample supply at 75 cents to $1. Supplies of antirrhinum exceed the demand at 50 cents to $1 per bunch. The prospects, a week before Easter, were for an abundance of stock of all kinds and no specially high prices were in sight. Varioua Notes. The most interesting feature of the March exhibition of the Horticultural Society of New York, held at the Amer- ican Museum of Natural History March 15, was a collection of cut orchids, the first prize for which was awarded to W. H. Waite, gardener for Samuel Unter- myer. Mr. Waite was also awarded first prizes for an oncidium, a Dendro- bium Wardianum and a Cattleya Tri- anse, all in bloom. M. Anderson, gar- dener for George W. Perkins, won two special prizes for displays of schizan- thus and of primulas. A. Anderson, gardener for Mrs. F. B. Van Vorst, was awarded a special prize for a hybrid orchid. A handsome lot of Christmas Pink, Mrs. Alex. Wallace and Snowbird sweet peas shown by John Canning, gardener for A. Lewisohn, also won a first prize. The New York seed houses uniformly report the "best season ever." And there are ample evidences of the ac- curacy of their characterization of the situation. Peter Henderson & Co. are shaving off six inches of their Cortlandt street front in compliance with the require- ments of the Bureau of Incumbrances, which has been rectifying the building line throughout the city. James Daly's Sons have a fine show of bulbous plants of their own growing at their greenhouses, Nineteenth street and Ninth avenue, at the entrance to Greenwood cemetery, Brooklyn. They have grown this year 20,000 lilies and 65,000 other bulbs and have had prac- tically no failures. It has been a ban- ner year with them. They grow other things besides bulbs; in fact, they grow everything they sell. Frank McKee, of the Fulton Street Florist, was elected a member of the board of directors at the meeting of the Greater New York Florists' Associa- tion March 12. Among the visitors last week were Frank K. Lamereaux, of Port Jervis, N. Y., and E. W. McLellan, of San Francisco. Mr. McLellan returned to New York from a New England trip, during which he visited the establish- ments of Thomas Eoland, at Nahant, Mass., the Montgomery Eose Co., at South Hadley, Mass., and A. N. Pier- son, at Cromwell, Conn. Walter E. Siebrecht says that not- withstanding the depression in sweet peas, he is getting $1.25 to $1.50 for Spencers and other special lots. He also showed some fine bouvardia, which is scarce in this market. The wife of James J. Hart, Jr., of West Twenty-sixth street, died March 14. Sidney Bayersdorfer, Paul Berkowitz and Martin Eeukauf, all of H. Bay- ersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, were in New York March 15 and looked over the floor at the Grand Central Palace with Secretary John Young, selecting a location for their exhibit at the Na- tional Flower Show. A meeting of the ladies' entertain- ment committee for the flower show was held at the call of Mrs. Traendly, the chairman, at the Hotel Woodstock, Tuesday afternoon, March 18. BOSTON SPRING SHOW. An Excellent Exhibition. Any fears held that the coming In- ternational Show in New York would adversely affect the exhibits at the Massachusetts Horticultural Society's spring show March 14 to 16 proved groundless, for few finer exhibitions have been held by the society. Messrs. Eoland, M. H. Walsh and one or two other large commercial exhibitors were not represented this year, but groups from several large private estates made up these deficiencies. The show was well arranged, by James Wheeler, and the quality of the exhibits was un- usually good. For three Azalea Indica J. L. Smith, gardener to A. W. Preston, was first, and M. Sullivan, gardener to Wm. Whit- man, second. Duncan Finlayson, gar- dener at Weld Garden, had the best pair of palms. George Page, gardener to Mrs. Frederick Ayer, was second, and William Whitman, third. For six ericas Mrs. F. Ayer was first, also for group of acacias covering 100 square feet. For specimen acacias Weld Gar- den won, with splendid specimens of A. longifolia and A. pubescens. For six hard-wooded plants of other vari- eties, second went to Weld Garden and third to Wm. Thatcher, gardener to Mrs. J. L. Gardner. For a group of rambler and other roses W. W. Edgar Co. took first prize. Cyclamens were splendidly shown. For twelve plants W. C. Eust, gardener to Mrs. C. G. Weld, led, followed by Weld Garden and Mrs. J. L. Gardner. Mabch 20, 1913. The Florists^ Review 13 First Prize Group of Cyclamens in Foreground of the Boston Spring Show. For six specimens in not over 10-inch pots competition was close, E. H. Wet- terlow, gardener to Mrs. Lester Leland, won. Weld Garden was second and Mrs. E. G. Weld third. For six Cineraria stellata, William Whitman was first and Mrs. J. L. Gardner second, the latter being first for six Cineraria grandiflora. Mrs» Lester Leland showed the best six schizanthus, immense specimens, with Weld Garden second. The prizes for Dutch bulbous plants brought out an excellent competition. The leading prize winners were Dr. C. G. Weld, Wm. Whitman, A. W. Preston, Geo. Barker, gardener to A. F. Esta- brook; B. G. Chamberlain, gardener to Francis Skinner; Mrs. J. L. Gardner and J. T. Butterworth, and in the ama- teur classes H. S. Band and Miss M. A. Band. Dr. C. G. Weld had the best twelve aniaryllis and Francis Skinner won for six pots of longiflorum lilies. For general display of spring bulbous plants Mrs. J. L. Gardner took first and second with two fine collections. For a group of orchids Donald Mc- Kenzie, gardener to E. B. Dane, was the only exhibitor. Some choice hybrids were included. For specimen orchid W. A. Manda won, with a finely flowered Phalsenopsis Schilleriana. Mrs. Lester Leland was second, with Cattleya Per- civaliana. Weld Garden was third. The rose classes, as usual, were rather lightly contested, for, with liberal prizes offered and roses hard to sell in the markets, local growers should have made a better showing. For four va- rieties, twelve blooms each, W. H. El- liott won. He also was first for twenty- five Lady Hillingdon, first for twenty- five pink, with C. Miller, and second for Killarney, the Waban Bose Conserva- tories being first. They also took the silver medal for the best new rose, with Mrs. Chafles Bussell. The carnation men made a good show- ing, the flowers being of uniformly high quality. For 100 blooms of one variety A. A. Pembroke took first and second. For fifty crimson W. B. Nicholson won, with fine Pocahontas. Scott Bros, were second, with British Triumph. For white A. A. Pembroke took first and third with White Wonder and White Enchantress, and C. S. Strout second with White Wonder. For fifty dark pink A. A. Pembroke took first with Bosette, and S. J. Goddard second with Helen Goddard. In the Enchantress shade class S. J. Goddard, C. S. Strout and A. A. Pembroke won in the order named, all showing splendid Pink De- light. For variegated A. A. Pembroke was again in the lead with Benora, Ja^es Wheeler being second with the same variety. In the Winsor shade class A. A. Pembroke and S. J. Goddard took first and second with Gloriosa. Edward Bingham took first for both single and double violets. William Sim captured all the firsts for sweet peas, with superb flowers, being in addition awarded a cultural certificate for them. There were fine lots of antirrhinums shown. For twenty-five spikes prizes went to F. W. Fletcher, James Wheeler and Geo. E. Buxton. There were eight entries for best table decoration laid for six covers. Mrs. Duncan Finlayson took first, having a lightly arranged centerpiece of Christ- mas Pink sweet peas. Wax Bros, took second, using a mixture of yellow mar- guerites and blue cornflowers. H. E. Comley was third, using yellow roses. In the way of miscellaneous exhibits William Sim had a grand display of pansies and was awarded a silver medal. He also received a silver medal for an artistic display of Princess of Wales violets. Knight & Struck Co. showed a nice collection of ericas and other hard-wooded plants. Mrs. E. M. Gill had a general display. F. W. Fletcher had a table of antirrhinums, including his new waved type. Thomas Q. Watt showed orchids, strelitzias and statices. B. & J. Farquhar & Co. received a silver medal for a fine lot of cyclamens. They also had a group of the yellow Jas- minum primulinum. Joseph Breck & Sons Co. received a silver medal for a collection of narcissi and tulips, including a number of the newer varieties. The Breck-Bobinson Co. had a nice collection of evergreens and was awarded honorable mention. E. B. Dane received a silver medal for Brasso-Cattleya Bowena. T. D. Hat- field, gardener to Walter Hunnewell, had a large group of palms and Erica melanthera and was awarded a silver medal. W. A. Manda showed several novelties: Anthericum Mandaianum, Begonia Mrs. Kimball and Nephrolepis tuberosa plumosa received honorable mention. S. J. Goddard received honorable men- tion for a seedling crimson carnation, No. 59, and H. A. Stevens the same award for his new shrimp pink seedling, Eleanor. F. B. Pierson Co. showed nephrolepis in variety. A. N. Pierson had Adiantum Farleyense and Bose Mi- lady. Charles Sander had a beautiful display of single azaleas, crosses be- tween A. Hinodigeri and other small- 14 The Florists' Review March 20, 1913. flowered azaleas, which attracted much attention and were awarded a silver medal. Eric Wetterlow had a nice bas- ket of trained genista. W. C. Rust showed a nice collection of dendrobiums and foliage plants. M. A. Patten had a fine vase of Car- nation Princess Dagmar. Cottage Gar- dens Co. received a first-class certificate for the new white, Matchless. C. 8. Strout had a fine collection of carna- tions, including Beacon, Benora, White Wonder, White Enchantress, Melody, Pink Delight, Gloriosa and Winsor. Peter Fisher received a silver medal for Carnation Gorgeous. W. W. Edgar Co. had a display of genistas. W. N. C. DETROIT. The Market. Business was rather quiet last week, as is always the case before a rush. The outlook for Eaater is good and, with the present fine weather, this year will be a record-breaker. There is enough stock to go around, but no over- supply. For some time the growers have been forcing their stock and when last week we bad exceedingly warm weather it looked as though consider- able stock would be lost, but March 15 it turned cold and saved the day. Azaleas will not be any too plentiful this year, as many came blind. The cut flower market is well prepared for the rush and when this is in print the local commission houses will be heels over head in flowers of every descrip- tion. Vaxious Notes. It appears as though the florists of the state of Michigan will win their fight against the two bills affecting greenhouse heating, which were pre- sented at Lansing recently. The De- troit Florists ' Club 's committee has had this matter in hand on behalf of the florists of this vicinity and about all that remains to be done now is to pay the bills. Many growers locally and throughout the state have already re- sponded to the call for funds sent out by Secretary Hugo Schroeter. Sam Seligman, of Wertheimer Bros., is enthusiastic about Philadelphia car- nation. Its beautiful color especially appeals to him. A baby arrived at the home of Rob- ert Klagge, in Mount Clemens, last week. The mother, who was formerly Miss Hattie Holzhauer, is doing nicely. With both of its parents florists, this little one will surely become a lover of nature. H. G. Dreyer, of Dreyer & Sons, Cleveland, was a recent visitor in De- troit, where he showed many novelties in the way of plant stands. Among the Detroit florists who will attend the New York show are Chas. H. Plumb and wife. Taepke's have a fine stock of forget- me-not plants for Easter, which have met with a rapid sale. Breitmeyer's had the decorations for the spring opening at J. L. Hudson's, which was more elaborate than ever before. Spring flowers were used. Mrs. E. A. Fetters is a strong advo- cate of woman's suffrage and is taking an active interest in furthering the equal suffrage cause. Wm. Brown is mourning the loss of his chauffeur, who has been driving his delivery cars since their installation, but who now has gone into another line of work. H. S. WASHINGTON. The Market. Business last week was not quite so brisk as it has been, partly on account of the fact that most of the days were rainy. Funeral work, however, has kept the stores quite busy and there have been some few good dinner decora- tions. Everything is in readiness for the Easter business, which ia expected this year to break all previous records. There is little doubt that there will be plenty of flowers to fill all demands and the probabilities are that the quality of the majority of stock will be good. The regular forces in the stores are be- ing augmented by the addition of, in some cases, from fifteen to thirty bi- cycle delivery boys, and any stray idec- orators who happen to be in town to- ward the end of the week will be im- pressed into the service. Club Meeting. The annual election of of&cers, plans for a banquet to be held next month and the trip to the show in New York were the main items of business at the monthly m|eting of the Florists' Club. As a result of the election Otto Bauer, of the Washington Florists' Co., will serve as president during the ensuing year, having defeated 0. A. C. Oehm- ler by one vote. On motion of the lat- ter, the election was made unanimous. The name of President David G. Grill- bortzer had also been placed in nom- ination, but he declined a reelection. George Cooke was made vice-president, William F. Gude, treasurer, and Elmer Mayberry, secretary. After two bal- lots David Bisset and William Earnest were declared elected as trustees, from a field of six. The annual banquet will be held shortly after the return of the members from the New York show. It was de- cided to have this affair open to ladies also, and to it will be invited the heads of the District government and other prominent men. Mr. Gude, chairman, reported his committee would have some good surprises in his "menu" of en- tertainment on that evening. James Wilson, former secretary of agriculture, was elected an honorary member of the club. The firm of J. R. Freeman had on ex- hibition a collection of about fifty car- nations of standard varieties. The amaryllis presented by Mr. Burns, su- perintendent of the propagating gar- dens, elicited considerable admiration because of their size. Various Notes. S. Kann, Sons & Co., at their depart- ment store, are again holding a sale of rose bushes, vines and flowering shrubs, having in all a stock of over 10,000 plants, representing fifty varieties, all of which are being offered at 10 cents each. The plants are all two years old. George H. Cooke has just returned from a vacation spent in Atlantic City and Philadelphia. F. B. August, formerly with the Rosery, Winnipeg, Man., is now with F. H. Kramer. Mr. August, prior to going to Canada, was with Ratcliffe, in Richmond, Va. C. L. L. Polo, m. — H. D. Davis is now sole proprietor of the Polo Greenhouses, for- merly conducted by Davis & Cheese- man. PITTSBUBQH. The Market. The weather of late has been almost too springlike and warm for the best interests of either the plantsmen or the cut flower growers. The plantsmen are exceedingly busy and the stock in gen- eral is just about right for Easter; some of the stock is a little "pre- vious," but not more than usual. The wholesalers had their own troubles last week, trying to dispose of the quan- tities of bulbous flowers coming in, and not with the best success. Other stock is moving fairly well, except violets, which have been somewhat of a drug on the market. Easter orders are about as usual so far this year, though for some reason the retailers hesitate more each year about placing their orders early. The retailers were favored with considerable funeral work last week, and in most cases they needed it, as there was not much going on socially. There has not been mudi special effort for Easter business so lar, as the com- bination baskets of plants have not made their appearance, so that one does not appreciate the nearness of Easter. Palm Sunday does not affect trade much, if at all. Some southern daffodils have been coming in, but are not of much value; just the same, they help to keep down the price of home- grown stock. Various Notes. E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., was a visitor in the city, drawing attention to a few lines of his stock, including his new red carnation. Commodore, which shows up so well that he dis- posed of a good number in this vicinity. The thermometers registered 70 de- grees above zero on Friday, March 14 — the warmest March 14 on record. The annual Easter show at the Phipps Conservatory, at Schenley park, will undoubtedly be finer this year than ever before. The earliness of Easter and the peculiar weather con- ditions caused Superintendent George Burke to give up the idea of forcing everything into flower at one time, and as a result the show will last longer than in other years. His arrangement of the display will undoubtedly please better than ever, as he has divided the large house into gardens. One room is a Dutch garden, which will contain all kinds of Dutch bulbous flowers. Another feature is a children's gar- den, containing all kinds of old-fash- ioned flowers. For the amusement of the children, there will also be chick- ens, rabbits, Guinea pigs, fish and ca- naries. A rose garden will contain over 2,000 plants, such as ramblers, Hia- watha, Tausendschon and a general collection of the hybrids. The collec- tion of tropical plants and ferns is conceded to be the finest in this coun- try. The show this year is the result of years of experience and reflects great credit on Superintendent Burke and his foreman, John Jones. The Phipps Conservatory at North Side park, also under the management of Superintendent Burke and his fore- man, James Moore, is ready for Easter. This show, though not so immense as the other, is the pride of the north siders. Among the special features are: A children's garden, somewhat after the style of the Schenley park \Urch 20, 1913.

Matador. Another house will contain forced shrubbery, Pittsburghers are certainly favored in having two such conservatories. The duck pin team of the McCallum Co. defeated the team of the A. "W. Smith Co^ and the Pittsburgh Cut Fldwer Co. team defeated the Ean- (lolph & McClements team on Thurs- day night, March 16, but there will bo no more bowling until after Easter. Tlie scores will be found on another page, under the head of Bowling. The Street Fakers have issued a challenge to the Wholesalers. The team of the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co, has won the last eleven games, Joe Byerly is the champion "south paw" bowler. John Sisley is the comedienne bowler. Billy Hall bowled three down the gut- ter and quit. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Har- ris on Sunday, March 16, a son. Mr. Harris already has quite a fatherly look and everybody is smoking.

Clarke. KANSAS CITY. The Market. Business for the last week has shown some improvement, largely due to an increase in funeral work, of which every florist had his share. There is enough stock to fill all orders, but no surplus. Eoses are in crop again and are good, especially Killarneys and Eich- monds. The Beauties, so far, are not as good as expected, but are improving each day. Carnations are also improv- ing daily in quality and there will be plenty of them for Easter. Bulbous stock is more plentiful and seems to be ahead of last year's stock; this is probably due more to the open winter than to anything else. Pot plants are much in demand; the retailers are look- ing in ev^ry direction for them and orders are coming in unusually early. Various Notes. The W. L. Eock Flower Co. has an enormous stock of pot plants for Easter and they are exceptionally good. The stock includes 3,000 lilies and a large variety of other plants. This firm has an exceptionally fine dark red seed- ling carnation, believed to be ahead of any other of its color, and will later place it on exhibition in New York, Arthur Newell had a good run on funeral work last week and he reports that he is making big preparations for T-aster, E. H. Frandsen has a large portion oi" his Easter stock ready, although his T'^ses were stunted on account of a I'liler accident several weeks ago. W. J.

WHEN the younger generation enters into things, new ideas and new energy usually crop up — then we say that "new blood has been injected into the business," So it is in this case, for Sidney Buchbinder is one of the mem- bers of the generation that is fast taking hold. He fairly lives with his business and his every thought is of it. Sales are first, last, and all the time with him, so it is hardly to be wondered that he writes "Salesmanager " after his name when addressing the trade. Being a member of the firm of Buchbinder Bros,, Chicago, is second consideration to being salesmanager with him. arations for Easter and he expects to sell a large quantity of pot plants at his greenhouses. He has a fine lot of Harrisii lilies. The George M, Kellogg Flower & Plant Co. is cutting a fine lot of flow- ers. The firm's pot plants are extra good, but the supply is only sufficient for the store in this city. Mr. Parker went to St. Joe last week. E. S, Brown & Son report that their shipping trade in spring stock was ex- tremely heavy last week, Mr. Brown has recovered sufficiently to be able to be at the greenhouses and he is slowly regaining his strength. The Alpha Floral Co, had a heavy run on green carnations on Saturday and Monday. They received thirty-nine cases of extra fine lilies last week. The W, H. Sawvel Floral Co. is cut- ting a fine stock of carnations and As- paragus Sprengeri, Mr, Kane, of the Peterson Floral Co., expects to break away from jury serv- ice in time to l;e at the store for the Easter rush. Jas. A. Biggam reports that he has been surprised by the large amount of decorating that he has been asked to do during the Lenten season. He has just had a busy week in funeral work. Biedermann & Son have plenty of bulb- ous stock and pot plants for their Eas- ter business, but are short on lilies, Harry Smith has completed a new greenhouse, 25 x 150 feet, and expects to huild two more immediately.

Knob Hill, was recently destroyed by fire. The report does not state the amount of the damage to the greenhouses or stock. Bugby, N.

The boiler house is 20x60 feet, of reinforced concrete construction and thoroughly fireproof. The store is said to be one of the best west of the Twin Cities. The double task of superintend- ing these building operations and at- tending to a heavy trade has made the season an exceedingly busy one. 16 The Florists^ Review Maech 20, 1913.

San Antonio, Tex. — The local florists had the heaviest hail losses in their his- tory a few weeks ago. At the nurseries and greenhouses of George C. Baker, Paul Poppe, San Antonio Floral Co. and the Mission Floral Co. the losses were heavy. In glass' alone the florists have lost about $8,000. On top of that, many plants were beaten to the ground and destroyed. The hail was so heavy that it broke tile roofs on residences. SOOIETT OF AMEBIOAN FLOKISTS.

If the growers had to hustle to get their flowering plants ready after Christ- mas, before Easter, the bedding stock men will now have a long, leisurely course to Memorial day. 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. A Detroit society paper that carries a great deal of advertising for retail florists, in its Easter issue has a full page handsomely illustrated advertisement for the L. Bemb Floral Co., of which Albert Pochelon is proprietor. Mr. Pochelou is secretary of the Florists' Telegraph Delivery. How generally the trade is using the parcel post is shown, perhaps, by the fre- quency with which subscribers send The Review samples of their stock. The man whose carnations are in specially good shape cuts a dozen, puts them in a paper box, afiixes a few cents in parcel post stamps and, as a consequence, the Ed- itor 's desk seldom is without flowers. OBITUARY. George W. Love. George W. Love, of Unionville, Pa., died March 6, at the age of 78 years. His death was due to an attack of bronchial pneumonia. He was born at Kennett Square, Pa., in 1835, and was in the carpenters' trade for some years before engaging in business as a florist. He is survived by his wife; also by a daughter, Laura; a son, Charles, and a grandson, Harold Love. George W. Love was a member of Gen. Henry R. Guss Post, No. 1, C. W. v., of West Chester; Kennett Lodge, No. 475, F. & A. M., and Eastern Star Lodge, I. O. O. F., of which he was secretary for forty-three years, having resigned lately. The Odd Fellows had charge of the funeral. Philip Einsman. Philip Einsman, treasurer of the New York Cut Flower Exchange, who had been in failing health for the last year or more, died at his home in Astoria, L. I., N. Y., March 13, at the age of 42 years. He was buried March 16. Mr. Einsman was vice-president of the New York Florists' Club for 1912 and was a member of the Society of Amer- ican Florists. He leaves a wife and nine children. One of the manufacturers of nicotine extract for greenhouse fumigating has announced that the increased cost of the raw material and the increased cost of manufacture have necessitated advancins; his price to the point where the consumer will pay $17.50 per gallon. GETTING THEIR MONEY'S WORTH. The aim of every successful editor is to. see how great a value he can give his readers. That The Review is suc- ceeding in giving a rather better value for the money than the trade ever has had, there are visible signs; but the letters that come into the office, with subscription renewals, often mention this point: Don't stop the paper; It is too valuable to miss for $1.— J. L. O'Quinn & Co., Raleigh, .N. C, March 5, 1913. We could not get along without The Review. — Lanning's Seed House, Nowata, Okla., March 5, 1913. Here Is your dollar; I can not get along any longer without The Review; I honestly think It is the best florists' magazine I ever have had the pleasure of reading. — R. A. Culbertson, Meadville, Pa., March 5, 1913. The Review never likes to lose a sub- scriber, yet the paper is stopped promptly when the subscription has run out. An expiration notice is sent, but no subscriber is annoyed by the mail- ing of bills after the time for which the paper was ordered has elapsed, or by offers to settle for half the arrear- ages when the post-office regulations compel the stopping of the paper, as they now do, after a certain more than liberal limit has been reached. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. With Easter approaching, business for the last week has been steadily on the increase. While demand has been no more than normal, stock has cleaned up more readily than heretofore, with the exception of on* or two items, in- cluding violets and the bulbous flow- ers that have been overplentiful all winter. The activities around the mar- ket, however, were those that are to be noticed when a big holiday rush is near and the decks are being cleared for action. Up to the time the first Easter orders were to be shipped the one idea was to have everything in shape for the rush when the time rolled around for the bulk of the stock to be moved out. Most of the wholesalers reported a fair number of advance orders on their books; in fact, the general opin- ion was that there were more orders filed early this year than for some time, owing to the belief that because of the early Easter lilies would be hard to get in the longer lengths; hence the out-of- town buyer was more anxious to get his order on the books than has been the case in previous years. The habit of waiting for the last minute to order has been growing and it was a welcome change for the wholesalers to have the orders on file. Monday saw a big rush of the out-of-town mail and each de- livery brought in the demands from all sections. St. Patrick's day orders had just been disposed of and it made plenty of work in sorting the orders and put- ting them in shape for attention when the stock is to be shipped. The great shortage reported is in American Beauties. Of these there are nowhere near enough to supply the demand. While good crops are not far Mabch 20, 1913.

Indeed, the quality of most of the Beauties is so poor that the out-of-town retailers have largely cut them off their stand- ing orders and have not ordered many for Easter. Other roses are in big supply, the crops with many growers being at about the highest point. Killameys are especially strong and of fine quality in both color, size of bud and foliage. There is every indication that there will be enough of these to go around. Although prices had not been stiff up to the opening of the week, there was a tendency to advance as the week grew older. Carnations likewise are in good supply. For 8t, Patrick's day there were large quantities cut, but there were not enough whites to satisfy the demand for flowers to color. Of the pink and other colors there were more than enough, for there was hardly any demand outside of the white. Bulb- ous stock was still moving slowly with the start of the week, but began to sell better as .Easter approached. Violets have been and are in tremen- dous supply. The grower who has not a full crop is the exception to the rule and the Chicago market seems to be do- ing rather better than others, for there never was a time when so many grow- ers were shipping here. Sweet peas are not so plentiful as they were and poorer flowers are making better money. Or- chids are not plentiful and prices are advancing. Stocks are in, but do not sell specially well. Callas are more plentiful than at any time this season; they are expected to sell well if lilies prove short. Smilax has become scarce and south- ern floods are interfering with the ship- ments of wild smilax. A Difference of Opinion. At the meeting of the Chicago Flo- rists' Club March 6, it was voted to lay on the table the matter of desig- nating an oflicial route to the next S. A. F. convention at Minneapolis. But under date of March 10 postal cards were mailed to members, stating over the name of the chairman of the transportation committee that the Great Western had been selected by the club. At the meeting March 6 the sentiment appeared to be strongly opposed to the Great Western and in favor of one or the other of the standard lines, the Northwestern or the St. Paul. The Cook County Florists' Association has already chosen the latter. "It was a surprise to me," said President Guy French, March 14, "that such a noti- fication should be sent out before the members of the club had voted on the proposition. The club ordered the mat- ter held open and until the next meet- ing no choice will be made. It was not my understanding that the committee was vested with power to make a choice, but was merely to make a rec- ommendation. If it has been the cus- tom in the past for the committee to make the choice I believe that it would be to the interest of the club to make a change in this regard; in fact, the action taken at the last meeting shows how the members look upon the mat- ter. Whatever road is selected at the next meeting of the club will be the ofScial route and invitations to eastern and southern clubs and individuals will be sent out asking them to join us." Over the signature of Ed. C. Toepel as secretary pro tem the following no- tice was sent out March 17: "Special Order of Business of The Chicago Florists' Club. President French announces that the special order of business for the next meeting of the Chicago Florists' Club will be: T)ie election of a secretary to fill the va- cancy caused by the resignation of Wilder S. Deamud, who is leaving the city permanently; to receive the re- port of the transportation committee, and to decide on the oflBcial route to the S. A. F. convention at Minneapolis. A full attendance is desired." Mabch 20, 1913.

President Budd announces that Mr. Shehan, of the Evening Post, has been appointed press agent. In the midst of the Easter work the trade has given little attention to the show, but it is expected that interest will develop with a rush as soon as the Easter business is over. The society is figuring on a peony show in June, a gladiolus show in August and an aster show later. Handsome posters announcing the spring show were distributed last week. The Art lastitute people are counting on the show attracting the largest crowds in the history of the institu- tion. Tim Matchen, who has charge of Peter Eeinberg's sales, Emil Eeichling, who is the greenhouse foreman, and a number of other Reinberg employees visited the Bassett & Washburn estab- lishment, at Gregg's Station and Hins- dale, March 16. N. J. Wietor says that a big week's business comes just in time, for Mon- day morning's mail brought notice that Wietor Bros, are assessed $4,100 as their share of the cost of a sewer to be laid in Devon avenue, on which the greenhouses front. A. L. Eandall is preparing to leave shortly after Easter on a European trip. He plans to visit all the principal cen- ters for florists' supplies. Al Fischer, the well-known bowler and north side retailer, was arrested St. Patrick's day for failure to show the li- cense number on his delivery car. He had thoughtlessly slung an extra tire where it obscured the number. The boys in the market think it an excel- lent joke. Winterson's Seed Store has a unique window display. It is the Barney lawn sprinkling system working away full force, each nozzle being covered by an inverted goldfish globe. John Poehlmann spent the greater part of St. Patrick's day going through the greenhouses of his company at Mor- ton Grove. Frank Johnson, sales manager for the A. L. Eandall Co., is receiving congrat- ulations over the arrival of a daughter, March 14, at his home in Eogers Park. John T. Muir has opened his down- town retail store, in the new building at the southwest corner of Wabash avenue and Monroe street. He occu- pies a fine store on the Monroe street side. The Williams' Flower Shop is in the basement of the same building. George M. Garland reached home March 18 from his winter's trip to southern California. Schiller has sent out announcements of the opening of the remodeled store formerly occupied by Koropp, at 4509 Evanston avenue. George Fisher, who makes his head- quarters with Kennicott Bros.

McKellar says that, far from losing popularity, green carnations were in greater demand this year than on previous St. Patrick's days. John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling Co., says that violets will be the whole- salers' Easter problem, the crops far exceeding those of any other Easter. Tim Matchen says Peter Eeinberg's big motor truck has an even greater advantage than the hour it saves each trip from the greenhouses to the store — the opportunity it gives for calling in an extra load of stock whenever late orders find the store ice-boxes empty. The most remarkable carnation blooms ever seen in Chicago attracted a steady stream of trade visitors to the store of C. W. McKellar March 14 and 15. There were eight flowers. The ex- hibitor was H. Both, of Lafayette, Ind. Each bloom measured a full five inches. It is a big, full, fringed red seedling, about the color of Beacon, the boldest and most striking carnation thus far seen here. Mr. Both said he has about 300 plants, and that it is so vigorous a grower that he can propagate a large quantity .any time he gets ready to sell the stock. Most of the local growers had a look at it the two days the vase 'stood on Mr. McKellar 'a counter. Mr. Iloth stated that it is not a chance seed- ling, but the result of breeding up from a cross made twelve years ago, the variety being now in its sixth genera- tion. He says he has received several offers for the stock, but has not yet de- cided on his course. He is building this year. Paul M. Bryant, formerly with E. H. Hunt and the Foley Mfg. Co., now is associated with the Paine Co., in the Corn Exchange building. W. E. Lynch, of A. L. Vaughan & Co., says the present indications are that the wild smilax shippers will be hard pressed to fill orders after Easter. Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, was walking around on crutches for a couple of days last week as a result of in- juries received from a fall. He was storing boxes on top of the ice-box when he missed his footing and fell. Harry Manheim, of Hoerber Bros., said the advance orders on file for Easter shipment were heavier than usual this year. Long-stemmed lilies were featured on most of them, it ap- parently being the opinion of the out- of-town customers that there would be a shortage in these.

The demand for pot-grown roses for Easter has not been so heavy the last two or three years as formerly in our city; nevertheless, there will be a good supply of Crimson Rambler and a few other varieties. Spirsea, both pink and white, is growing in popularity and there will be a good supply of these. A few hydrangeas will be ready for Easter. There is a heavy supply of carna- tions of all colors, but there will be no surplus, as American Beauty roses are scarce and there are none too many Killarneys. Our growers have timed their lilies just right this year, and everyone seems to have a good supply of strictly high grade stock.

Yalley is in fair supply. Hyacinths are abundant and are selling well. In more protected localities they are blooming nicely outdoors. Daffodils from the open are being sold as low as 5 cents a dozen on the street corners. Good Emperors, properly grown, are still selling in the flower shops at 50 to 60 cents per dozen, and seem to be pretty closely cleaned up. Various Notes. T. H.

He reports The Florists^ Review March 20, 1913. gr^t interest in this rose. He is prop- agating several thousand and intends to introduce it to the trade next sea- son. Mr. Joy means to grow one full house for cut flowers the coming season and says that he will exhibit it at all the flower shows. We understand that one grower is favorably enough im- pressed with the rose to place an ad- vance order for 12,000 plants. Joe Browne, proprietor of the Lischey Gardens, has been keeping several crews busy the last two weeks planting hedges and ornamental shrubs. His nursery grounds look as if a cyclone had struck them, so much of the stock had been moved.

The Gateway to the South. The business the first day of this week was just fair. There was a good demand, but everyone seemed to be resting on his oars, awaiting the stren- uous times at the end of the week. Locally, however, the week, even with- out the holiday business, promises to be a good one, for many flowers will undoubtedly be used at the funerals of some well known folks who died the first part of the week. With the Easter demand to top off, the market should be kept cleaned up the entire week. Boses continue of a good quality and in quantity should prove adequate for the Easter demand. American Beauties and Richmonds, however, are none too plentiful. For the last few days the carnation market has tightened con- siderably. It cannot be told as yet whether the growers are holding for Easter or the crop is going off. The call for white for March 17 was good, but the wholesalers tould not quite re- alize the price they had figured to get. E^er lilies will be in large supply, but the chances are they will clean up in a jiffy. All of the offerings so far have beeta good. Many good cal- las are coming in. Small bulbous stock, such as tulips, hyacinths, jonquils and daffodils, is in large supply. Practi- cally all of the stock is good. Sweet peas have been selling well. Now and then a wholesaler loses some, but an occurrence of this kind is the exciep- tion rather than the l^le. Other of- ferings, none "of which, bt the' time of this writing, are sfelling any too well, are valley, otchids, ex'cellent gardenias and single and double Vidlets.

The Bising Eastern Market. The cut flower market is quite active when the immense quantity of plants now absorbing the interest of the buy- ers is considered. There is not a heavy supply of flowers and the demand has been sufficient to take most of them* at fair prices. St. Patrick's day caused a slight aclVan«e in white carnations, which found 4heir way, dyed an Irish green, into many a^.cpi/^t lapel. South- ern daffodils continue to arrive without making much impression; they are in quite a separate class from the magnifi- cent blooms of Emperor and Sir Watkin that are produced under glass. The weather has been erratic, often quite unfavorable to production and lasting qualities, many flowers arriving too open. Indications for Easter point to an unusually good supply of violets. It is thought that the Hudson river district Marie Louise will stand first, then the singles and the Hightstown doubles. Sweet peas also promise well. There will be more short and medium-stemmed roses than fancy stock. Carnations are not likely to increase in numbers. There will be an excellent supply of cut Easter lilies, a heavy cut of valley and a mod- erate cut of callas. Cattleya Schroe- derae is likely to be unequal to the de- mand. No other cattleyas are in bloom here. Beauties will be scarce. A funny condition exists: the only Beauty grower hereaboul^ who has a real crop obtained it in two houses by aiming for Christmas! Not a good shot, you will say, yet he is one of our best growers and he has certainly hit the mark squarely. BERGER BROS. SWEET PEAS THE BEST FLOWERS t, FOR WEDDINGS.

These are a gorgeous sight, the soft pink of Otaksa harmonizing with the creamy white and contrasting agreeably with the deep lavender of the French va- rieties. They are so even and so well flowered that just to see them is a pleasure. One block of French varieties reserved for a certain buyer was es- pecially beautiful. There are 20,000 tulips for Easter, three-fourths of them Murillo, exquisitely pink, the remaining fourth divided between the Prince of Austria, the American-Beauty-colored tulip; Couronne d'Or and Flamingo. They are all well grown. The lilies are multiflorum of good height. Ed- ward Boss has reason to be proud about the condition of the place. There are good spiraeas, ferns and, last, perhaps best of all, an immense quantity of lily of the valley. Barney Malloy, who brought the valley king's crown and scepter to Walter P. Stokes, is in charge. The flowering of the pips has been re- duced to a fine art, with wonderful re- sults. Various Notes.

There is an abundance of plants for the occasion and cut flowers are all that can be desired. Roses are plen-t tiful, 'with the exception of Wards, American Beauties and Kichmonds. Kil- larneys, Tafts and Hillingdons are extra fine, ^weet peas are overabundant and it is diflScult to dispose of all of them.

An indication of the Easter activities was given last week in the increased call for potted plants in bud, and in the inquiries concerning the prices for cut flowers for Easter week. Business on the whole showed a big improvement during the week, with the usual amount of funeral work. The advent of St. Patrick's day so close to Easter had its effect upon the situation, as large quan- tities of white carnations and roses were used for "greening." Shamrocks were much in . evidence and sold well. Various Notes. F. Macrae & Sons had several thou- sand fine lilies, which they handled to excellent advantage. L.

Mention The Review when ypn wntf was largely attended, many florists be- ing present. The bearers, all florists and former associates, were Nils G. Pierson, Eugene Appleton, Edward J. Brookes and Edward Mowry. Among others present were Eugene McOarron, Robert Johnston, William E, Chappell, David W. McCoid, Cornelius Hartstra, William B. Hazard and Willis S. Pino. J. J. Karins, representing HenTy A. Dreer, Inc., was a caller last week. E. J. Johnston is cutting some par- ticularly fine acacia for this time of the season. The Narragansett Improvement Asso- ciation is preparing for its garden con- test for the coming season, entries for which must be made by April I, There will be three classes, in each of which first and second prizes of $25 and $15 will be offered. S. J. Renter & Son, of Westerly, made a great hit with miniature high hats filled with shamrocks, green carna- tions and roses, for St. Patrick's day. Willis 8. Pino has just registered a thirty-two horse-power Cadillac tour- ing car with the State Board of Pub- lic Roads. One of the most attractive window displays seen in the city for a long time was that made by Johnston Bros., on Torrance street, last week. A hand- some bougainvillea, with a spread of fully five feet, in full bloom, formed the central feature. Prof. A. E. Stone, state entomolo- gist, has sounded the alarm against the gypsy and brown-tail moths, which, he points out, have spread with great ra- pidity within the last two years, di- rectly due, it is claimed, to the failure of the General Assembly to make any appropriation for the work of suppres- sion two years ago. Edgar L. Nock, near Roger Williams park, is disposing of all the plants in his greenhouses and is going exten- sively into the growing of orchids.

The Fox Clay Products Co. has started a pottery in the south end and expects to furnish the local trade with pots. The fine weather last week kept the seed houses and the nursery men on the jump, but the cold weather with snow, March 15, slacked up their trade considerably. Ostertag Bros, report a great deal of decorating work last week. Their cut flower department, too, has been busy with all kinds of work. Trade was unusually good during Lent. The Windier Wholesale Floral Co. re- ports an exceptionally busy week with shipping and local orders in both cut flowers and supplies. Sanders' Nursery has its store and show house on Clara avenue filled with fine Easter lilies and seasonable bloom- ing plants of its own growing.

Kendel, Cleveland, O. Thirty-first annual convention at Cleveland, June 24 to 26. 1918. Field peas are reported short, some- thing not usual. Visited Chicago: Ralph M. Ward, of Ward & Oo., New York. : Seasonable weather from now on will cheer the hearts of the counter trade people. Some short varieties of beans,, that were to come out in decent force, have failed to arrive. Jobbers of the navy bean report a depressed market, but their guess is that it will not last long. Good rains in southern California have brightened the seed crop prospects there, especially on sweet peas. We hear no complaint from Rockford as to lack of orders. R. H. Shumway reports that his people are about snowed under with them. There is no longer a chance for cheap onion sets until this year's crop comes in. The market at all points is up and this spring's prices are likely to be as high as last year. The Northern Seed Co., which was or- ganized last fall at Cass Lake, Minn., is greatly pleased with the volume of trade already secured and is planning to go into the business on a much larger scale. Many of the onion growers of the central west are intending to plant a good proportion of bulbs for seed this season. Last season's good prices for market onions cut the seed acreage down considerably; as a consequence, seed of the Globe varieties, especially of the Red Globe, is in shorter supply than usual this spring. The waste in the 1912 onion set crop has completely reversed the early indica- tions. Instead of there being a surplus, with low prices, the loss has been such that there is no oversupply and strictly first-class sets are held at steadily stiffen- ing prices. Cars that do not grade up to the requirements of the best trade may still be had, however, at prices that look cheap until the stock is inspected. Alexander Forbes, for twenty-six years vice-president and general manager of Peter Henderson & Co., having pur- chased the controlling interest in the firm of J. F. Noll & Co., Newark, N. J., has opened a stand in the Cortlandt street terminal, New York, and will make a special feature of the filling of orders for commuters. Orders left in the morning will be ready for the suburbanites to pick up on their way home at night. It is beginning to be questioned if the trade is not in wrong on the parcel post. When the law was forming it was the general opinion that the zone system would prove cumbersome and that the trade would be better off under the old arrangement. The Regulations for pack- age mail do not, however, give the seeds- men the advantages they expected to re- tain and, in the middle west at least, the idea is gaining ground that seeds and plants should come under the parcel post. -TO TBADB- HENRY IVIEHE, aaedlinbm^ Germany ^^^■^^^■^^ (E8TABLI8BXD IN 1787) Growar and ■zportor on th« ▼•ry lars^at soal* of all CHOICE VEGETABLE, FLOWER and FARM SEEDS ■p«olaltl«at H— n«.

Is the California climate changing, especially with respect to rainfall, or is it merely the common experience that sea- sons run in cycles, several dry being followed by several wet, and vice versat At any rate, the San Juan and Santa Clara valleys again are considerably be- hind in necessary precipitation this sea- son. While the peas grown for seed last season in Montana and Idaho did not turn out in every respect as well as had been hoped, unusual weather conditions are held largely responsible and the acre- age will be materially increased for the 1913 cropv^ Practically all the large grow- ers have been active in the new territory j almost all winter.

The government asks for the lowest biff, And the seedsman quotes the price. Now, who shall be first to sit on the lid. Is the question that cuts the lee. The spring poet puts it right, for the seedsman is not blameless so long as he continues to quote prices when he knows that the bid he is pricing is for the purpose of the free seed distribu- tion. It is quite proper to insist that the government has no right to dis- tribute ordinary seeds free of charge, but as has been heretofore stated in this column, the seedsmen are putting themselves at a disadvantage by quot- ing, and being seemingly anxious to get the government order. It is not over- looked when a seedsman is urging every- body to "write your congressmen to oppose free seeds," and his name ap- pears at the same time in the list of those who are bidding for the order. FOBBES' NEW VENTUEE. The following is from a Newark, N. J., paper of March 8: "With changes just made in the firm of J. F. Noll & Co., Inc., local seedsmen, at 115 Mul- berry street, the management of the business has been taken up by Alexan- der Forbes, for twenty-six years con- nected with the firm of Peter Hender- son & Co. He was vice-president and general manager of that concern. Mr. Forbes has been the most active spirit in the effort to put an end to the prac- tice of free distribution of seed by the federal government at Washington." EXPERIENCES WITH NOVELTIES. Every year I try out the current nov- elties, and I shall here report some of my disappointments, for other growers may be as greatly interested in a list of the varieties that failed as in a list of the successes. Of course, it is not con- sidered that my trials serve as an ulti- matum or final decision, for soils and seasons differ. However, prospective cultivators may be so warned by others ' experiences as to proceed more cau- tiously with reference to certain red- letter novelties than they otherwise might. First, the Davis cucumber was dis- appointing to me. On sandy, clay loam soil, although it produced good vines, the fruit was slow to set and it was not till late in August that marketable quantities were picked. I ransacked the seed catalogues, and while nearly everyone recommended Davis' Perfect for outdoor planting, still I found at least one catalogue that did not advise its use for such planting, but only for forcing. I think Vickery's suits my ideas of a forcer better than Davis' Perfect. Three sweet corns tested out poor in flavor. It is possible that many people would like them, but not our household.

Among all the va- rieties we tried last season, we and our epicurean friends were most pleased with Golden Cream, which is a variety resulting from crossing Golden Bantam and Country Gentleman. Early as Gol- den Bantam, luxuriant in growth and prolific of ears, with a quality of grain that is superb, it is an ideal variety of sweet corn. The Early Prolific Bush Lima was Weak in growth, with small seeds. Bur- pee's Bush Lima is much better. One of my great disappointments last year was in the Early Detroit tomato.

Breadstone Swede turnip showed up rather inferior with us. Bell's World's Fair turned out to be the best of all we tried. Burpee's Neckless rutabaga is fine and of rapid growth. Among radishes, Crimson Giant Tur- nip, while growing large, as seedsmen claim, is uneven in contour and off in color. The Scarlet Globe and White- tipped Scarlet Turnip radishes are fa- vorites in Detroit markets. As a planter loses a whole season gen- erally by making a mistake in the choice of varieties for his planting, he may be thankful that a knocker now and then warns him of varieties that may "act up." Since the element of time is so pro- nounced in his affairs, it behooves every trucker to set aside a plot for the test- ing out of promising varieties under the local conditions on his own soils.

The matter then came be- fore Justice Pound on an application for the appraisement. In his decision he says: "The commissioner had no facts be- fore him upon which he could decide that every plant was infested with gipsy moth. He could, on the facts, only decide that there was reasonable ground to believe that they were so infested. Destruction without com- pensation is the rule where the facts may be shown with certainty. In other cases an appraisal should be had. So ordered." Some time prior to October 16, 1911, Mr. Palmer had received a shipment of azaleas and rhododendrons from Belgium and they were at his green- houses in Lancaster. October 16 two inspectors from the state department of agriculture visited the greenhouses and found an egg-mass of the gipsy moth on one plant and evidence that another plant had been similarly in- fested. They telegraphed to the de- partment asking for instructions and some days later got telegraphic in- structions to destroy the whole ship- SPRING-FLOWERING BULBS CALADIUMS With live center shoots Doz. 100 5- 7 inch $0.30 $1.80 7- 9 inch 50 3.60 9-11 inch 86 6.00 GLADIOLI First size bulbs 100 1000 America, pink $3.00 $26.00 Francis King, scarlet 2 . 00 18 . 00 Light and White florists' mixture 1.76 16.00 Good Mixed 1.00 8.00 CANNAS Two to three-eye roots lOO looo Chas.

But right here let us say that it is impossible to get better lilies from any kind of lily bulbs, for winter flower- ing, than you can get from the right stock of Formo- sum. There is more diflFerence in Formosum than most people realize. The process of assortment is now going on, in fields where attention is given to quality. Horseshoe Brand Formo- sum, size 9/10, which have bloomed this winter, have given from eight to eighteen flowers. That is, the selected stock. Next fall's delivery is expected to be as good, if not better. Any florist who cannot make money on Horseshoe Brand Formosum 9/10, had better put on a kilt and take in washing for a living. The price of a single case of this selected stock is $20, and it is the best investment in lily bulbs today that any man can make. Order now — don't wait until it's too late. RALPH N.WAR1I &C0.

The bulbous stock is about at its height now, immense numbers of .daffo- dils, hyacinths and other kinds being sent in. The whole of the stock is good and, if fresh when shipped, will carry well to all points. A number of letters shown to the writer during the present week indicate that both the service and the quality of the flowers shipped from Los Angeles are excel- lent. Violets are plentiful and sell ^irly well. Good roses from indoors sell well at fair prices and are in good supply. Large rhododendrons, cycla- mens, primulas and ferns are the best plants to be had now, with a few good Japanese azaleas. Easter lilies are scarce. Greens are plentiful. Various Notes. Luis F. Carrillo, of Mamaroneck, N. Y., paid a flying visit to the city March 8 to 10 and left again on the Southern Pacific for New York, via New Orleans, on the evening train at the latter date. Mr. Carrillo expressed himself as delighted with the country hereabouts. He leaves for an orchid collecting trip to South America, March 19. A new propagating house, 18x60 feet, has been built at the Palmyra Nursery by the Lanss brothers, in ad- dition to the new lath house and of- fice. G. Eossi & Co., of San Francisco, are about to open a wholesale house here. Several locations have been con- sidered, but at the time of writing none had been decided on. W. W. Felgate, gardener for Dr. Barlow, Sierra Madre, grows some of the finest antirrhinums in this vicinity. He was in town with some grand varieties March 10, the yellow forms being especially good. Howard & Smith opened their new store, at Ninth and Olive streets, March 8, with a fine display. The im- mense floor space was almost entirely covered with fine palms, azaleas, beau- tiful forced wistaria plants and a num- ber of the fine amaryllis for which the firm is famous. A fine location and perhaps the finest store building in the country, with the resources of this well known house behind it, seem to forecast great success. C. Morton, of the Los Angeles Flower Market, has received his new automobile, a fine Buick. W. Armacost & Co. sent in a first consignment of Easter lilies to the Los Angeles Flower Market March 10. It was fine stock, well flowered and fin- ished. The Star Nursery, of Montebello, is sending in large, well flowered plants of Japanese azaleas, daphnes and Wis- taria Sinensis. Rhododendrons formed the principal window decoration at the store of the Hayward Floral Co. last week, arranged with baby roses and Moutan peonies. H. Reeve Darling has purchased a No. 36 Chalmers-Detroit. The H. N. Gage Co. is always to the front with anything likely to be of interest to the retailer, and a fine show- ing of orchids of other kinds than the ubiquitous cattleya has been made here during the last two weeks. I noted good Lycaste Skinneri and Dendrobium nobile, both fine and well colored. Polder & Groen are shipping fine pansies and myosotis to this market. Fred R. Hills has bought a new Eeo car and is already quite an expert in handling it. The new rooming house for the help is now completed at the Dieterich & Turner place at Montebello. This will add considerably to the comfort and convenience of the men. M. L. Germain has made another trip north on business connected with seed legislation. H. R. Richards. SAN FBANCISCO. The Market. From all accounts, business is going to be good at Easter. Lent has been quiet, aside from funeral orders, which THE NOVELTY OF THE SEASON "RAMONA 99 THE NEW RED CHEROKEE ROSE This sensational and magnificent new cllmblngr rose occurred as a sport from the well- known Pink Cherokee (Rosa Slnlca, var. Anemone). It Is a stronger and more rampant grower than Its parent, and produces during the spring and early summer months flowers In such profusion as to entirely cover the plant; in autumn there is a secondary crop of bloom. The flowers are much larger than either the pink or white forms, with brilliant golden-yellow stamens and broad petals of a glorious carmine-crimson color; an unusual shade, wonderfully striking and effective; the foliage is absolutely mildew-proof, a rich, glossy green, so bright that it appears as though varnished. The life-like illustration in our advertisement in The Review of February 20th, showing blooms and foliage natural size, pictures its beauty stronger than mere words. The original sport occurred on the nurseries of Messrs. Dieterich & Turner, at Monte- bello, California. They, realizing its value and great beauty, propagated over one hundred thousand plants, from whom we acquired the entire stock. This is indicative of our faith in its value, and its coming popularity is attested by the fact that we have already booked orders for many thousands of plants, hence we feel that we are safe in stating that "RAMONA" will have the largest first season's sale of any new rose ever offered to the American trade. "RAMONA" will be of special value as a garden rose to the entire Pacific Coast, the Southwestern, Gulf and South Atlantic States; it will prove hardy as far north as Philadelphia. For planting on pergolas, pillars, porches, etc., it is a rose of unique and beautiful effect; in addition, it makes an elegant hedge plant if properly trained and pruned, affording a relief from the stereotyped privet hedges, with the added value of a rich display of color. We are offering plants of "RAMONA" at the following prices, cash with order: In lots less than one hundred: From 2-incb pots, 35 CMits each, $3.50 per dozen; from 3-lnch pots, 50 cents each, $5.00 per dozen ; from 5-inch pots, $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. In lots of one hundred to five hundred: From 2-ineh pots, $20.00 per one hundred; from 3-inch pots, $30.00; from 5-inch pots, $60.00. In lota of Ave hundred to one thousand: From 2-inch pots, $125.00 per thousand; from 3-inch pots, $150.00 per thousand. Parties desiring to list "Ramona" can be supplied by us with copies of the colored plate shown In The Review of February 20th, at the rate of $3.60 per hundred, $30.00 per thousand; larger quantities at special rates.

The weather has changed somewhat from that of last month, and while not as much stock has been brought to town, the general quality of it has been better. Carna- tions are a shade higher in price; so, also, is most of our bulbous stock. All the early varieties of narcissi and daffodils are over, but we still have the later sorts. Freesias are scarcer than they have been. There are plenty of Dutch hyacinths and valley, which move fairly well. Tulips are still plentiful and sell at low prices. For the Easter plant tjrade there will, apparently, be an abundance. Azaleas, although not as plentiful as last year, are in good shape. Cyclamens, be- gonias, hyacinths, genistas, wistarias, lilies, lilacs and various ferns and palms are seen everywhere. Easter lilies, though not abundant, will be in suflScient quantity to supply everyone. They cost the retailers from $2.50 to $4 per dozen for the cut stems and about twice that price for the pot- grown. Various Notes. E. H.

NsK,ture of Doubling in Carnations. [Oontlnned from pave 12.] Wtiile it lias not as yet been possible to m ake an especially careful study of the maature of doubling in the carna- tion, sufficient information has been de- riveci- from an examination of several hund-Ted flowers to enable us to say that many factors contribute toward doubling. The simpler and more com- mon ones are those of the multiplica- tion _ of petals, by proliferation, the con- versi on of stamens into petals, and the development of supernumerary buds in- side "the flower but outside the ovary. Tli.« presence of supernumerary or adveontitious buds seems to imply a tendency of the flowers in which they occuar to advert to the bullhead type of flcDwer. It is certain that their pres- ence in the flower is accountable for man>^ a bursted calyx, and in such in- stancies it may be necessary for us to Pays To Pacific Coast Florists : What stock have you for sale to the trade?

Mention The Review when you write. revise our current notions that a bursted calyx is due to an inherent tendency in the plant to produce weak calyxes, or that it is the result of un- favorable temperatures or conditions of growth. True, it m|iy be that the presence of supernumerary buds may indicate an inherent weakness in the plant, but have we a right to say that this weakness is solely one of an im- perfect calyx? In the light of our present knowledge, it would appear that we must look for some other ex- planation. It is evident that whatever determines the presence of these extra buds must be due to some inherent factor in the organic hereditary consti- tution of the plant. In all probability these changes occur in the earliest stages of the development of the bud. Until careful cytological studies have been made of this phenomenon, our conception regarding the determining causes of the presence of adventitious buds must be a purely speculative one.

Seedlings which apparently .produce good, typical commercial flow- ers during the early part of the season, or until the middle of January, began to develop many blooms which to all appearance were of the bullhead type. Our attention has also been called to an apparently opposite case, in which a seedling plant, producing bullheads in the early part of the season, began to develop flowers bordering on the com- mercial type. Our present knowledge would lead us to believe that there is a considerable degree of seasonal fluctuating variabil- ity in some of the seedling plants. This variability has also been noticed in the Enchantress and Mrs. Ward, and no doubt is more or less common in other fuU-petaled varieties. Advantages of Single-Double Cross. Thus far in our discussion we have simply aimed to present a report of the results which have actually been secured from the various crosses men- tioned. Our present effort will be to show that the single -double cross may offer some advantages to the plant breeder which are not found in the commercial-commercial crosses. In the first place, it has been shown that the resulting seedlings of the commercial crossed with the commercial yield ap- proximately twenty-flve per cent sin- gles, fifty per cent commercials and twenty -five per cent doubles. In other words, the possibility ^of securing a really desirable seedling is limited to fifty per cent of the progeny. In the single-double cross the breeder has 100 per cent from which to make his selec- tion. The advantage, therefore, of the two crosses is as fifty to 100 in favor of the single-double combination. In addition to this, we might mention, it frequently happens that quite desirable colors occur in the singles, particularly in scarlets and crimsons. The singles are also, as a rule, free blooming, and many of them produce flowers with long, stiff stems. They are also, as a rule, more vigorous than the commer- cial types. Similar desirable charac- ters are often found embodied in the bullheads, and with intelligent selec- tion of the parent plants it should be possible to secure a reasonably large percentage of promising seedlings. There is another factor which we have not as yet mentioned, but which seems to be clearly emphasized by our investigations, and that is with respect to the average number of seedling plants produced per cross. Our data show that the single-single combination produced 16.1 per cent plants per cross; the single-double, 22.8; the commercial- single, 6.8, and the commercial-commer- cial, 11.3. While it is recognized that a repetition of similar crosses might not corroborate these figures in whole, it is believed that the general results are indicative of greater vigor in the progeny of the single-double combina- tion. Certainly, when these data are considered in connection with the fact that the single-double cross gives, theo- retically at least, 100 instead of fifty plants from which to select, one is im- pressed with the greater desirability of employing such a cross when attempt- ing to produce or create new varieties. We are well aware that such sugges- tions are directly at variance with pres- ent recognized practice, but neverthe- less it is believed that the plant breeder can well afford to give it some con- sideration.

President Brown occupied the chair. Mrs. A. Fletcher was elected an honorary member and S. Brackett, of Locust Valley, an active member. The exhibits of plants and cut flowers were specially good. James Duthie, of Oys- ter Bay, exhibited three varieties of Freesia Tubergini. The colors in this freesia are pleasing and they are sure to become favorites for conservatory and house decorations. The varieties were Dainty, La Phare and Sweet Lav- ender. The society's prizes for the exhibits of the evening were awarded to A. MacKenzie, P. Charbonneael and J. MacDonald. A certificate of culture was awarded to J. W. Everatt, for a basket of fine mushrooms; honorable mention to J. Ingram for narcissi, and to J. Duthie for carnations. A. Wil- son, representing the plant oil firm of that name, was present and offered a substantial cash prize to be put up put up at the next fall show. It was de- cided to hold the next meeting April 16 at 7 p. m., and prizes are offered for twelve roses, mixed, twelve Darwin tu- lips and one calceolaria. J. M. ' ' I HAVE 150 varieties of peonies, ' ' says W. E.

H, LiNviLLE, of Highland, Cal., is clearing two acres additional leased land for from 60,000 to 70,000 citrus trees. L. C. EiCE & Son, nurserymen of Tropico, Cal., recently purchased eighty acres of ground and are preparing it for use. They expect to plant 500,000 olive trees. The publicity idea has reached the nursery trade: some of the growers of fruit trees want to see a united effort by all the parties at interest to increase the consumption of fruit. C. D. Oldershaw, of Bakersfield, Cal., has secured the contract for the supplying of $600 worth of nursery stock to be planted in the parkways constructed on Truxtun avenue, in that city. W. J. Palmer, florist at Lancaster, N. Y., is successfully prosecuting a claim against the State of New York because an inspector destroyed 2,260 azaleas when he found an egg mass of the gipsy moth in one plant. Geo. H. Whiting, the nurseryman of Yankton, S. D., recently purchased the stock of the Volin Nursery Co., owned by T. J. Douthit, and took a force of men to Volin with the intention of getting the stock ready for removal and closing out the nursery. GEAPTINO QUINCES. Will you kindly tell us how to graft the quince? We have good success with apples and pears, but failed with quinces last year, M. S. Portions of apple roots are best to use when grafting quinces, splicing them closely to the scion. These roots materially aid the scion in becoming es- tablished. Some growers remove them after two or three years, when the trees are of suflScient size to be set out in the orchard. Quince stock can be used when budding is done. C. W. THE STANDING OF MEMBERS. In all the trade organizations except the American Seed Trade Association the only requirement for membership is the payment of the fee — hand the money to the secretary and be at once admitted to the full privileges. In none except the seedsmen 's organization has there been any investigation of the applicant's standing or a vote on his admission, except, perhaps, some of the trade's credit and collection associa- tions. The New England Nurserymen's Association purposes to add to the value of membership by passing on the qual- ifications of those who would enter. At the recent first annual convention at Worcester the following was adopted after much discussion and reconsidera- tion : "The members of this association shall be persons residing in, and en- gaged in the growing or selling of nursery stock in New England, and shall be approved by the . executive com- mittee." A membership committee was ap- pointed, one for each state, to present names for the consideration of the ex- ecutive committee, as follows: Chair- man, Geo. C. Thurlow; Connecticut, C. E. Burr, Manchester; Maine, Herbert Jackson, Portland; New Hampshire, A. P. Home, Manchester; Vermont, F. H. Horsford, Charlotte; Ehode Island, D. A. Clarke, Fiskeville; Massachusetts, Charles E. Fish, Worcester. THE STABK FAMILY TBOUBLES. The announcement that W. P. Stark had asked for a receiver for the Stark Bros. Nurseries and Orchards Co., as a reporter put it, came * ' like a thunder- bolt from a clear sky, ' ' to the people of Louisiana, Mo. In regard to the suit, E. W. Stark, president of the company, says: "It is not true that exorbitant sal- aries are being paid. As a matter of fact, the three leading officials of the company are being paid just one-half of the salaries drawn by W. P. Stark, ex- treasurer, his son and son-in-law in past years. "In 1911 W. P. Stark made demands for salaries that the company refused to pay, and his resignation was filed vol- untarily. After two months' absence he returned and resumed his old rela- tions at the invitation of the directors. The day he returned and was reelected treasurer he drew $1,000 back salary for the two months he was absent, leaving LARGEST ASSORTMENT OF Herbaceous Perennials Includingf Hollyhocks, Hardy Chrysanthemums, Hardy Pinks and Japanese Anemones.

Instead of so doing he entered into an agreement to get control of the peach for his own benefit instead of for the company. "While W. P. Stark was still an offi- cer of this company his son, with whom he is associated, started a rival com- pany and W. P. Stark was then and still is indebted to this company. These and various other reasons compelled the ma- jority of the stockholders to dispense with his services. Our company is en- joying exceptionally fine trade and is in a prosperous and harmonious condition; harmony having been non-existent for some time past while W. P. Stark was an officer of the company. "This simply is a case of a dis- gruntled stockholder with a fancied grievance, the apparent object being to hurt this company. He doubtless thinks his new company will be the gainer by this suit by obtaining the valuable busi- ness this company has built up over the world. He is now, and has been, for many years, a director in this company and has taken an active part in the con- duct of its affairs and is largely respon- sible for its actions and policies. All of the old employees of the company many of whom have been with it from its inception, are still connected with it, and everything is running harmoniously and smoothly at the present time. "The business of the company and its financial condition under the present management is away ahead of what it was a year and two years ago, while W. P. Stark was connected with the company. "J. W. Matson, the attorney for the company, says that there is absolutely no merit in this suit and that the arti- cles published in some of the Saturday morning St. Louis papers were certainly inspired by some one whose sole de- sire is to do the company as much in- jury as possible, and not to right even a fancied wrong. The people here fully understand the motives of this suit. ' ' IDAHO TEEE OEOWEES PROTEST. Nurserymen of Idaho, under the im- pression that the State University is entering into competition with them on an unfair basis, have made an appeal to the school to retire from the shade tree business, or take out a license as the regular nurseries do. Announce- ment that the forestry department in- tended to distribute shade trees at a nominal price in different sections of the state provoked the protest from the nurserymen. It was written by Charles T. Hawkes, of Caldwell, president of the State Nurserymen's Association, and was addressed to Dr. Shattuck. The letter, which follows, explains the na- ture of the complaint: Dear Sir: It has come to the notice of aeveral nnraerymen of the state that the unlverBlty, throogh Its forestry department, Is engaging .

The busi- ness you are tfolng Is probably quite small and does not "hurt us" very much, but on account of the principle of the thing, we feel Inclined to ask you to desist from selling anything in the nursery line, since the business might be in- definitely expanded, both In yours and other departments of the state university, and since we fellows are under considerable expense for bonds and license fees that you do not have to meet. Will yon not kindly tell us If It will not be possible for you to meet our wishes In this mat- ter, or else take out a regular license and fur- nish bond as the rest of us are compelled to do? We have no objection to your distributing a few samples of the new varieties of shade trees you have tested and found useful in this region, but we think it should be without charge to the planter, since the state university Is a public institution, supported by general taxation, and we are not willing to consider black walnut and black locust new, or unknown to the public at the present time.

With Easter at our doors, both whole- salers and retailers are ready, having made extensive preparations. The show windows of the stores never looked so gorgeous and attractive as this year. Though we recently had heavy rains and a small cyclone and the temperature at present is near the freezing point, the prospect is that dry and sunny weather will prevail during Easter. The bulk of the shopping is done on Good Friday and Saturday, and both growers and retailers hope to do the same fine business as last year. With the excep- tion of Easter lilies, all kinds of sea- sonable flowering plants are plentiful and in perfect condition. Ferns and foliage plants are fine, but the demand for these is limited. Growers who sell at the public markets have been handi- capped considerably on account of the inclement weather, and even some of the most optimistic have lately been complaining. It is reported by local seedsmen that, on account of the mild winter in the north, the shipping trade in early vege- tables from local truck farms has not been so extensive as in past years, and the prices obtained for the finest head lettuce have scarcely paid for the packing. Various Notes. The Stockier Seed Co. reports a big rush in every department of its trade. Bruce Bros, have added a seed and plant department to their large poul- try business and they express them- selves as highly satisfied with their new venture. E- E.

Club Meeting. , _ At the March meeting of tlie Roches- ter Florists' Association it wai' iSfecided- to hold a flower show the' we*k of November 2 in Convention hall. The show probably will be openfed on Mon- day and continue through the week. Arrangements for the display will be started at the April meeting of the association. A bill in the Legislature that pro- vides for an appropriation of $60,000 for greenhouses for experimental work in floriculture and vegetable farming, which was introduced by Senator Bams^ perger and Assemblyman Jackson, came in for considerable discussion at the meeting. Before adjournment the fol- lowing resolution was adopted: Whereas, The growth of floriculture and the' production of flowers and vegetables under glass has been the most notable in horticulture in this state In recent years and the large capital and numbtc of people now employed demand that the increasing number of problems which threaten the industry, and with which the individual grower caonot cope because of lack of scientlflc knowledge, be given consideration by the agricul- tural experiment station, and, Whereas, No provision has hitherto been made to equip the agricultural college and experiment station to carry on selentiflc investigations r^Iaf ing to gteenbouse crops, be it Resolved, That the Rochester Florlstfc' Asso- ciation, at its monthly meeting, heartily indorsed the efforts of the New York State Federatloo of Florists' Clubs to secure the passage of a bill by the legislature making suitable appropriations for providing equipment for the teaching of floricul- ture and vegetable gaMening. A paper was read by A. H. Seeker, "Growing Sweet Peas," and C. B. Ogston, superintendent of the conserva- tory of Mrs. William S. Kimball, who is an authority on cut flowers, gave a talk on carnations, illustrating his re- marks: with specimen blooms. It was announced" that two members of the association, J, N. Keller and C. B. Ogston, had been appointed judges at the National Flower Show, to be held in New York, starting April 5.

Violets are now arriv- ing in quantity from some of the East Haven growers and find a ready sale at good prices. Choice roses and car- nations from some of the local growers are cleaning up nicely. Azaleas and bulbous stock continue to sell well. From present indications Easter trade will be up to the usual, some of the florists having booked a number of ad- vance orders as early as March 15. Various Notes. Alfred Ostermann's store was attrac- tive last week and he reports business as satisfactory, with violets and carna- tions selling well. He also reports heavy sales in green carnations and shajaroeks for March 17. Wfl|i ys. Long is receiving choice roses f rotF^his brother 's place in Ea'rt;"' ' Haven. Trade was much better last week than the we«k before, with quite a lot of funeral work. Champion & Co. report business as being good. They were showing quan- tities of shamrocks and green carna- tions, which they had a big demand for March 17. Bowden & Mitchell, of Wallingford, are sending in choice ferns, especially ■Cyrtomium falcatum. They are read- ily picked up by the stores. ,^, The Doolittle Floral Co. has cleared «ut a magnificent lot of Easter plants, probably the finest stock in town. The Easter lilies were ready on time and were booked up early. The house of azaleas was a magnificent sight. Bulb- ous stock also is forced in immense quantities. Business at the store downtown is reported as satisfactory. The 8. H. Moore Co. reports business as being exceptionally good, with or- ders for funeral work quite heavy. Genistas in exceptionally well grown plants, most artistically arranged in -Chas. Munro's store, made as attractive a window display as any in town. He had a special sale of violets March 15, which cleaned up all the stock on hand. Max Krausse sent in well grown sham- rocks, which sold well last week. M. B. F.

Please tell me how many and what size of pipes will be required for a car- nation house 27 x 80, to heat it to 50 degrees when the outside temperature goes down to 30 degrees below zero, as it sometimes does in this part of Iowa. Where should the pipes be located, on the sides or under the benches, for the best results? The house will run^ast and west, with the boiler room at the west end. The walls on the north side will be double boarded, with no glass; the south wall will contain twenty-four inches of glass. I have quite a lot of Ii^-inch pipe on hand. H. N. A. To heat the house, a boiler having a capacity to heat at least 1,000 square feet of radiating surface should be used. For the flow pipes run one 2%- inch main on each of the plates and another two or three feet below the ridge. While it would be better to use 2-inch pipe for the returns, the 1%-inch pipe mentioned will answer. About five or the returns should be placed upon each of the side walls, and eight, to be supplied by the overhead flow pipe, should be distributed under the benches. The flows as well as the returns should be given a slight fall, and if the high- est part of each of the flow pipes is connected with the expansion tank there will be no occasion for using air valves. GREENHOUSE AND RESIDENCE. I should like to have the following in- quiry referred to your heating expert. Each greenhouse firm gives me a dif- ferent estimate of the amount of piping necessary to heat my greenhouse, which is to be used for growing smilax and will require a temperature of 60 degrees in zero weather. As you will see by consulting the enclosed diagram, the house is 25 x 95, seven feet high to the eaves and twelve feet to the ridge, with four feet of glass in the sides. Beds, and not benches, will be used. The greenhouse runs north and south, with the boiler at the north end. My residence, which is also to bo heated from the same boiler, is attached to the southeast corner of the greenhouse. From the boiler a 3-inch flow will run south, under the ridge of the green- house, and then turn east to heat the residence. An. expert in the heating of residences assures me that the 3-inch pipe will furnish plenty of radiation for the whole dwelling. As the enclosed sketch will show you, the first story of the dwelling contains a library. " *" Temperature Haintained WMle You're Gene? It should be, but you don't know that It Is. How valuable would a complete record of the temperature ol each hour of the nlsiht and day be to youT A f^reat many dollars. Is the answer.

The second story of the residence contains two bedrooms, each 14x14; another bedroom, 14x16, and a bathroom, 6 x 11. Now to return to the greenhouse: Will two 214-inch flows, one on each pur- lin, feeding six 1%-inch returns on the West and five l^^-inch returns on the east, supply sufficient radiation, in addi- tion to the 3-inch flow, in this Illinois climate? The returns from the resi- dence are to be used to heat a lean-to on the east, ten feet wide, three feet oiKh to the eaves and seven feet to the "dge, to a temperature of 40 to 45 de- grees. As the 3-inch flow must go uphill, can I put the expansion tank in the resi- dence? The other flows, I thought, Could run downhill. Or will two tanks "e needed if I place the tank and gen- erator in the attic?

One tank only need be used and this can be located in the attic of the residence. By connecting the highest point in each of the green- house flow pipes with the 3-inch flow pipe leading to the residence, air valves will be rendered unnecessary. FOE EITHER GAS OB COAL. I am going to build a greenhouse in the coming summer, and of course I am on the lookout for a boiler. I want a small boiler in which I can bum natural gas, and if the gas should fail I would want to use coal tem- porarily, returning afterward to the use of gas. Here, in Oklahoma, we have stoves that contain a gas burner, with a coal grate under the gas burner. L. S. H. While it is not possible to suggest any particular size or make of boiler, since the dimensions of the greenhouse are not given, it is probable that, for the purpose mentioned, almost any boiler having a round grate could be used. The rating of the boiler in square feet of radiation should be about one-fourth the number of square feet of glass in the house. Such a boiler would heat the house using coal, and when natural gas is available the supply pipe could be carried up between the grate bars and the gas burner attached. BOILERS AND SMOKESTACK. At present we have a seventy horse- power tubular boiler, with which we are heating four houses, each 32 x 140. I should like to know how many more houses of the sfime dimensions we can heat with this boiler. We wish to main- tain a temperature of 65 degrees, and the outside temperature in this part of Idaho sometimes drops as low as 12 de- grees below zero. How high a chimney will be needed to get the best results?. The altitude of the land here is about 2,000 feet. We also have two hot water boilers, with which we are heating ten houses, each 20x100. The draft in these boilers is not satisfactory. The ** RETURN TRAPS Save condensation and it's heat. Automatically return both to boiler with out pumping.

One should be able to judge fairly well regarding the surplus capacity of a boiler by noting the ease with which it maintains the desired temperature in the present houses; in fact, a better idea might perhaps be obtained in that way than from an empirical estimate. However, using the customary calcula- .tion for the capacity per horse-power, it is probable that one additional house could be heated readily, while by crowd- ing the boiler up to its full capacity, whenever it is zero or less, a range of six houses might be handled by a sev- enty horse-power boiler. The chimney should extend at least forty feet above the point where the smoke flue enters, and fifty feet would be better. The draft in the chimney with which the hot water boilers are connected Could be improved by adding ten feet to its height. Another improvement ■^"ould be to connect the flue having the poorer draft about two feet higher. The cliimney may be too small.

It appears that there will be no shortage of any kind of flowers. Plants are unusually plentiful this year. Lilies are of fine quality and almost unlimited in • quantity. Crim- son ramblers will be a little scarce, as several of our best growers failed with them this year. Spiraeas, azaleas, hy- drangeas, lilacs, rhododendrons and bulb- ous stock are to be had in almost any quantity. There will be a good cut of carnations and roses, including Beau- ties. Sweet peas seem plentiful and are meeting with a good call. Double violets are a tough proposition. Or- chids and valley are not having a good market. Various Notes.

N.J. 98 The I^lorists' Review Mahch 20, 1913. GREENWICH, CONN. The regular monthly meeting of the Westchester and Fairfield Horticultural Society was held in Doran's hall, March 14, with President Robert Williamson in the chair. Great enthusiasm is dis- played by the members and the attend- ance maintained at the meetings is ex- cellent, especially considering the long journeys some of the members have to make. Feelings of general regret were expressed on account of the resigna- tion of the vice-president, Oscar Addor, who finds that he is not able to give due attention to the office. By the unanimous vote of the members, H. Wild was elected vice-president for the ensuing year. The best wishes of the society were extended to James Aitchison, who is about to take up his residence in an- other locality. The speaker for the evening was William Scott, of Scott Bros., Elms- ford, N. Y., who delivered a thoroughly practical address on the growing of carnations. The fact that this meeting had been set aside as carnation night brought out a large number of fine ex- hibits. The three prizes given by the society were awarded as follows: First, James Aitchison; second, A. L. Mar- shall; third, E. Johnson. Excellent cul- ture was also noted in the following exhibits: A. L. Marshall, honorable mention for Neph- rolepls magniflca. James Aitchison, cultural certificate for cycla- men and Primula malacoides. A. Wynne, honorable mention for Scblzanthus Wisetonensis. Alex. Geddes, honorable mention for carnation seedling. Thos. Aitchison, cultural certificate for vase of calla lilies. Geo. E. Baldwin Co., Mamaroneck, N. Y., highly commended for finely flowered Cattleya Lawrenceana. P. W. Popp, honorable mention for Carnation California Giant and lily of the valley. Thos. Aitchison, honorable mention for seedling amaryllis. Louis Wittman, honorable mention for My Maryland and Madison roses. Thos. Ryan, vote of thanks for shamrocks, "the genuine article." Professor Jarvis, of Yale, has prom- ised to deliver an illustrated lecture on "The Diseases of Fruit Trees" at the next meeting, and it is hoped that every member will make a special ef- fort to be present, for this lecture should prove of vital importance to all.

Violets have been in full crop every- where, and if the present warm spring weather continues there will be a shortage about Easter. Easter lilies are magnificent this year and are in great demand. H. G. MuUis has just returned from Peterborough and reports a full meet- ing of the executive committee of the Canadian Horticultural Association at the National hotel there, with Mr. Wal- ter Muston presiding. Matters were discussed in connection with the an- nual convention, to be held in that city next August, when it is to be hoped there will be something done. We pre- fer to say "something done" rather than "something doing," as the lat- ter phrase suggests more talk than ac- tion sometimes, and action is what is badly needed in the C. H. A., if one may be excused for speaking plainly. Mark Henderson was elected by ac- clamation to fill the vacancy on the Brampton town council last week. G. Muller, of the Julius Eoehrs Co., Eutherford, N. J., made a special trip here last week, in the interests of his firm. H. G. Dillemuth and J. A. Neal, of Toronto, and J. G. McDermott, of Ottawa, also visited the greenhouses. It is understood that many of To- ronto's prominent florists intend to see the International Flower Show at New York next month. W. G. P.

Ttie Florists' Review 101 Sweei Pea Houses How that sweet peas are being grown so profitably there are a lot of growers who have ceased to throw stones at a house with a moderate number of columns. They find them mighty handy to wire on. In George Schuman's 30- foot, half iron frame houses at Baldwin, L. I., there are 4 columns across the house. The illustrations show what a glorious crop he grows. He told me on January 22nd, the day we took the photos, that they were planted in July and he began cutting in September. The 12-foot vines were still blooming freely. If you should ask us, we would advise your building a house with high enough sides and enough col- umns so you could grow anything you wanted to at any time. It alwaysseemed to me like"mon- keying with destiny" to build a big, expensive house along lines adapted for growing limited things. A change in market conditions or the fickleness of fashion may make the paying flower of this season * a dead one" next. So why don't we get together and talk over our ideas of what an all- around, practical growing house would be for you? It may be that our New Canti- lever Construction is "the all-around house." If so, you ought to know why it's so. Glad to hear from you. HitchirT^gs^CLrn-party' New York Office, 1170 Broadway Philadelphia Office, Penna. Bldg., 15th and Chestnut Sts.

The Florists' Review 101 ii S-U-B-S-T-l-T-U-T-E 9f £A INFERIORITY f» That is a safe general rule; in the case of CYPRESS as THE Greenhouse Lumber it is an absolute truism. Small wonder that those who urge the ' ' substitute ' ' have but the one cry, ' ' cheaper. ' ' But the substitute is NOT "cheaper," except as to initial cost. The only business-like way to figure material costs in Greenhouse building is BY THE YEAE. There's nothing consolingly "cheap" about repair and replacement bills. The truly cheapest green- house is the one that shows the least totals — at the end of a term of years — first cost and upkeep together. By that rule CYPRESS for greenhouse construction has all other woods beaten at the start. It is the absolute cheapest, figured by the year of its life. If built of heart Cypress, with "Pecky" Cypress for cer- tain parts, the wood can not be substituted by any other material ever grown or made. Talk of a "substi- tute" is worse than bosh. It is not quite square. If contractors would say: "We can build you a greenhouse of cheaper wood," that would do, for the so-called "substitutes" are all cheaper in first cost. BUT MORE EXPENSIVE IN THE END. Do you care I You bet you do — you're a business man as well as a flower grower. "The Building Age," August, 1912, issue, page 409, in specifications for a small greenhouse says: "These timbers should be made of Cypress, for, on account of its straight grain, strength and durability, this has been found to be THE WOOD BEST ADAPTED FOR GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION."

For new work we believe the dough putty gives better results. Liquid putty, if made right, is fine for bulbing and for going over old work. Either putty is good, but the quality must be first-class. Q. What is pure dough putty made of ? A. There are several ways of making dough putty, but we think our formula is the vsbt one for all greenhouse work. We use 84^No. I best whiting, 19b pure white lead and 15% best boiled linseed oil. Our price on this putty is always less than the raw materials alone would cost you. Q. Can I make my own putty ? A. Yes. Good putty, though, can only be made in putty-chasers. Making putty by hand is slow, hard work, and there is nothing in it. Q. Will the ordinary putty do for greenhouses ? A. No. Be sure you get the formula we mention. Q. What is liquid putty made bm ? A. The formulas are all secret, but the principal f^ ingredients are whiting, lead, varnish and gum. Q. What are your prices ? A. Send for Catalogue No. 16. It tells all about it.

The Florists^ Review 11 ^ GREAT STORMS ^ SWEEI* THE WEST Easter Trade Interrupted by Sleet and Rain; Much Greenhouse Property Destroyed by Wind and Flood r^ai^^HE greenhouse industry of the [j ___ y middle west, in the days im- T mediately preceding Easter n X n and immediately following, l^^p^l received the most tremendous blow in the history of the trade. The selling end of the business was interfered with to the extent of thousands upon thousands of dollars by the storms which began in the early morning hours of Good Friday, and which continued intermittently with in- creasing violence until the night of Sunday. But the damage done to the selling end of the business was incon- sequential in comparison to the damage done to the greenhouse structures by the wind and flood. Telegraphic communication is so se- riously disorganized that only the most meager details are available. The most serious loss was in the vicinity of Omaha, where cyclonic storms wrecked the largest greenhouses west of Phila- delphia, and in the Indiana and Ohio river valley cities, where great floods followed ii£,^he wake of the wind and rain. Omaha still is cut off from full tele- graphic communication, but word has been received that the two great green- houses put up last summer by J. F. Wil- cox & Sons, Council Bluffs, are down, and the understanding is that they are a complete wreck. It is a curious fact that it is the second time that the greenhouse shown in the foreground of the accom- panying illustration has been blown down. On the afternoon of July 31, while the houses were as yet unglazed, a storm leveled the front house, al- though the rear house stood, twenty-five feet away,„ This time both houses are down, according to infornAtion received from Koy Wilcox, who now is the head of the company. These houses are 60x 1,000 feet, the two covering 120,000 square feet of ground. They are of the King iron frame construction. The brick service building crumbled and the boiler house roof went, but the 150- foot concrete chimney stood. The houses contained 60,000 canation plants, 12,000 Beauties and 25,000 Killarneys in full crop; all frozen, a total loss. The night watchman was the only man hurt. Work has been abandoned at this (Manawa) plant but business goes on as usual at the old place in the city. As the storm proceeded eastward from Omaha it hit a large number of greenhouses on its way. Eeports have been received of minor losses from a large number of establishments between Council Bluffs and Chicago, where the storm seemed to again gather intensity. Scaircely a greenhouse in the district north and west of Chicago escaped with- out more or less broken glass, but none of the losses are to be compared with the loss of Wilcox & Sons. Then the storm skipped into Indiana and Ohio, where the losses have been without parallel in recent years. No details are as yet to hand, though it is apparent that floods have inflicted enor- mous damage upon the trade. It would be bad enough because of the interrup- tion to general business, even though the greenhouses themselves had escaped damage. In the Indiana and Ohio sec- tions the loss has been by flood. As The Review goes to press, word is re- ceived that th§^ business section of the city of Dayton is many feet under water and that every flower store in that city is flooded. Those who attended the S. A. F. convention will recall tho topography: Dayton lies in a hollow. With the center of the city flooded to so great a depth the greenhouses can hardly have escaped. All through south- ern Ohio and southern Indiana flood conditions are unparalleled. And green- houses almost never are built on the high lands; the grower's favorite site is in the hollow, protected by the hills. It is apparent that as time goes on there will be a large number of reports of greenhouses being drowned out,^f not swept away. ^- At Des Plaines, 111., Hoerber Bros, suffered more severely than any other growers in the Chicago section, and two Soo line brakemen lost their lives in a passing freight caboose which was buried under several tons of brick when the greenhouse smokestack gave way about inidnight March 23. Owing to the fact that the stack fell toward the railroad track, the flying debris did no damage to the greenhouses, but the twister had already demolished two of the houses 27x300 at the southern end of the range and partly wrecked a third, all of them rose houses. In the remain- ing houses in the range of twenty-one, more or less glass was blown out and not a house escaped. Some were more seriously affected than others and great^ efforts were necessary to save the stock of roses and carnations. Every availa- ble workman was pressed into service replacing glass and closing the open spaces with such covering as could be obtained. Work was started at once on the smoke stack, in order that the boil- ers could be"* operated. The stack was 100 feet high and was broken off a few feet from the ground. F. C.

Considerable insur- ance was carried on the plant and stack and it will fully cover the loss. Busi- ness was not interrupted. H. C. Blewitt, at Des Plaines, lost one house and another was somewhat dam- aged. At Downers Grove, 111., March 23, Wellworth Farm, the establishment of John F. Kidwell and his son-in-law, Ru- dolph C. Ellsworth, suffered heavily from the blow. Four houses were dam- aged and about 12,000 square feet of glass put out of commission. The great- est damage was done when a shed 200 feet long that had been built in a posi- tion to protect the greenhouses from westerly winds was split in half, lifted in the air, carried 100 feet and crashed into the west end of the plant. One house of roses was crushed and the gable ends of two other houses torn away. The ventilating machinery was . twisted and bent until useless in the houses, while only in spots was any glass left intact. These houses were all planted in Killarney roses, which were in full crop. A fourth house had just previously given way at one end, breaking almost all the glass, but being damaged only slightly so far as the framework was concerned. Efforts were at once made to save as much of the stock as possible and with 500 yards of burlap loaned by Bassett & Wash- burn such sections of the houses as still contained any glass were covered and a gang of twenty men put to work replacing glass. At Deerfield, 111., one house of gar- denias belonging to the Deerfield Nurs- eries was demolished, while the glass of another gardenia house, as well as that of a house of Sprengeri, was blown out. These houses were 34x150 feet and the stock in the gardenia houses was lost, but it was hoped that the house of Sprengeri could be saved. John Kruchten, who is interested in the com- pany owning the plant, said 250 boxes of glass would replace the glass in the two houses damaged, but the third house was completely wrecked. At Park Ridge, 111., the storm cost August Priebs about $3,000 in damage done when one house was destroyed and part of another wrecked. Considerable glass was blown out of the other houses also. Hunt Bros., at Park Ridge, re- ported two houses hit by falling tele- graph poles, considerable damage being done. The numerous other growers in the Park Eidge colony escaped with the loss of a little broken glass. At Galewood, 111., the houses and stock of Dinstel Bros, were destroyed, only a house of carnation cuttings be- ing saved. At Mendota, 111., the Restland Floral Co., B. Katzwinkle, proprietor, lost glass in greenhouses and hotbeds to possibly a value of $500. At Hinsdale, 111., Bassett & Wash- burn 's houses were only slightly af- fected. Hail was responsible for the loss of fifty boxes of glass, which was replaced within twenty-four hours and without damage to the stock. Not a pane of glass was lost at the new plant at Gregg's Station, although the blow was severe in that region. At Detroit three houses in the estab- lishment of G. H. Taepke, on Elmwood avenue, were practically demolished. At Cleveland March 25 the J. M. Gasser Co. said: "Never before since we have been in business have the floods been so severe in our neighborhood as they are today. Scarcely any trains are in operation out of Cleveland except on the Lake Shore, and all our shipments of flowers have been returned to us by the express companies with the word that it was impossible to reach any of the various points of shipment." Ship- ments out 'of Chicago also are being taken, if at all, only at owner's risk.

It was the banner Easter in all those parts of the country where the weather was favorable; in other sections the trade was unsatis- factory and below last year just in pro- portion as the weather conditions were unfavorable, 'through the west and centering in the Mississippi valley there was a heavy storm of rain, snow and sleet in the early morning hours of Good Friday, which interrupted business seri- ously. This storm passed and Saturday before Easter was pleasant overhead, though bad under foot. The reports are quite unanimous tiat Saturday gave the florists of the entire United States the biggest ohe day's business in the his- tory of the trade at Easter. The storm .of Good Friday was followed bjr a much more severe storm sweeping from west to east, covering the valleys of the Mis- souri and Mississippi during the day. of Easter and passing on eastward. This storm not only did much damage to property interests, but it cut thousands upo|i thousands of dollars from the re- tailers' flower sales. It was most se- verely felt between Omaha and Detroit; east of this region it did not come until after the Easter business had been dis- posed of, and all through the eastern section of the country the report is that the Easter trade surpassed the best pre- vious records. Unfortunate as weather conditions were through the central states, the reports are encouraging as showing that the business is still in- creasing much faster than the popula- tion. In the storm region no deductions can be drawn from the comparative sup- ply and demand, as conditions were ex- ceptional in all respects. In the sec- tions that were, favored with pleasant | weather, all retailers found cut flowers and plants to sell almost equally well. Possibly because of the early date, lilies appear nowhere to have been in over- supply. Flowering plants in general were in greater supply than ever be- fore and, except where some special rea- son could be found for it, the stock cleaned up so well that there is encour- agement for still larger production next year. It was noticeable that everywhere throughout the country prices on cut flowers were held at practically the normal wholesale level. The days of a sharp advance ii» the price of cut flow- ers for Easter apparently are over. There was some increase in the whole- sale prices of carnations, but in many cases it proved unwarranted, and in nearly every large city market roses were advanced in price for the holiday no more than they are on any day that sees a really first-class market. The supply of roses was large. Froni all eastern parts of the country comes com- plaint of the violets, but it seems prob- able that a large part of the trouble grew out of the unfavorable weather conditions; the violet industry is not in the precarious state that some of this week's reports would indicate. Perhaps it was because of the more moderate prices for cut flowers that the cut flower business increased quite sat- isfactorily. Many retailers who report being left with some expensive plants say that they cleaned up better than usual on cut flowers. The weather conditions in some im- portant centers were extremely unfavor- able, and the interruption of telegraph and telephone service in the vicinity of Chicago imposed a handicap upon a large number of retailers in sections outside the storm area, but there is a general disposition to view the situation with philosophy, • because it is every- where apparent that the weather, and the weather alone, was responsible for any decrease in sales. The trade at large certainly was demonstrated to be upon afe healthy a footing as at any time in recent years. EASTEB TBADE IN NEW YORK. Cut flowers reach the New Yorker through three channels, by far the most important of which is a group of whole- sale commission merchants located on West Twenty-eighth and West Twenty- sixth streets. There are about thirty-five of these. These dealers kept open from 6 a. m. Saturday until 1 p. m. Sunday^ and were busy every minute of the time. The second channel is the co- operative wholesale- houses, termed ex- changes, which are maintained by (groups of growers and which are lo- cated on West Twenty-sixth street. The third channel through which cut flowers reach the public is the suburban grow- ers who sell their own products direct to the public. This group is located mainly in the vicinity of the cemeteries and depends largely on the cemetery trade for the demand. Their prod- ucts are not included in the estimates given below. Some idea of the enormous volume of wholesale business transacted in cut flowers in New YoMt on the Saturday before Easter may he gathered from the following estimates, based on con- fidential reports made to The Review. According to iheae estimates, the sales for that day and night included about 100,000 Ameiii^an Beauty roses, 400,000 - r^':^-'».^*u:. .:.i:.-*,jt^jLt^^ ^ >-a -^ I..: An% HL>.i.li>.s. . ^^t-miiu^-u .K*..*^^ 1'. ;_ . ■^.rrr-'T^^" 'A*' T-/-.. •;•-■■♦.- Maech 27, 1913. The Florists^ Review 13 other roses, half a million Easter lilies, over a million carnations and four mil- lion violets. The quantities of valley and other flowers sold are less easy to estimate. Including all varieties otf cut flowers, it may be safely said that the total retail value of cut flowers reach- ing the public through the wholesale trade on Twenty-eighth and Twenty- sixth streets on Saturday, March 22, was not far from $500,000. It was dis- tinctly a big Easter. DALEY AND HIS DESIGN. The accompanying illustration affords an excellent portrait of Martin J. Daley, of James Daley's Sons, Brooklyn, while at the same time giving an idea of the size of the design beside which he stands. Those who know Mr. Daley will appreciate the proportions; to others it may be said that there is nothing small about him — not in stat- ure, in business done, or in the size of the stone that the picture shows spark- ling on the fourth finger of his left hand. Of course the design, a horse- shoe, was for an opening — a good luck emblem — and for some unknown reason no florist ever makes a gigantic horse- shoe of anything but Beauties, set close together. EASTER TRADE NOTES. Adrian, Mich. — William Wickham says Easter trade was better than ever be- fore. Cut flowers sold best, but every- thing cleaned up. Red Wing, Minn.— John E. Sten, proprietor of the Eiverside Green- houses, leased a building on Bush street for a special Easter display. Pittsfield, Mass. — Manager Stanley G. Barnes, of the Flower Shop, opened an extra store in the Agricultural Bank building for the Easter trade. Zanesville, O. — C. L. Humphrey re- ports the Easter business as away ahead of anything yet known. He had a big stock, but 'most of it was set aside for orders by Friday. Altoona, Pa. — During Easter week A. A. Whitbred made use of three extra stores at different localities on Eleventh avenue, besides his usual display room at II2614 Eleventh avenur. Galena, HI. — B. F. Vandervate opened an additional salesroom in the O'Neill building for the Easter rush. He an- nounced the opening in the local news- papers and otherwise, arranged an at- tractive display of stock at the tem- porary store and was well repaid for his extra efforts. Sioux City, la. — Rocklin & Lehman, who have two stores regularly, rented a double store at another location for an overflow for the Easter business. They published a full page advertise- ment in two colors in one of the local papers March 19 and did a big business at all three locations. Malta, O.— W. C. Scovell says Easter trade was away ahead of any previous . year. Pot plants were in great demand, but he was not able to supply the de- mand for either cut flowers or pot plants, although he had a much larger supply than in former years. Prices were twenty-fivfe per cent higher than' usual. \*^-^ , . >r^ Martin J. Daky and a 'With-you-well Design. Martins Ferry, O. — Davison Bros, placed their stock on sale at two extra stores for Easter. One of the stores was in Bellaire, O., and the other was in the Cropper building on Hanover street, in this toiyn- Elingeriands, N*. "i'/^Fred Goldring had entirely sold out all his pot plants and cut flowers several days before Easter. Everything was well timed and, with favorable weather for de- livery, everyone was satisfied. The quantity was unusually large and the quality was fully up to his usual high standard. Geneva, N. Y.— W. & T. Cass pre- dict a big future for the new scarlet rambler, Erna Teschendorff, of which they had a limited supply just right .for t Easter. It is distinct and brilliant. The pink baby, Tausendschon, is an- other good seller. They had a fine batch .of Harriaii. Everything was cleaned out at Easter. Rutherford, N. J. — The Palm Sunday exhibition at the greenhouses of the Julius Roehrs Co., an annual event, was held this year with the usual success, and the proceeds, as usual, were add^d to the Rutherford hospital fund. The greenhouses were open on Saturday as well as on Sundaj^, and an admission of 2.5 cents was charged. Trenton, N. J. — During Easter week the Park Floral Co. occupied three stores in addition to the regular sales- room at Buchanan and Lafayette ave- nues. The extra stores were at 107 Perry street, 250 Hamilton avenue and S81 South Broad street. Auburn, N. Y.— The weather was fine and the Easter business commenced early, almost everything in the way of plants, baskets and cut flowers selling on sight. Both store men and growers are satisfied. Alfred Patrick says low prices prevailed, which made it possible for all to have flowers, and hopes that in other years this may be an example to all. MANURE WATER IN BARRELS. I should like to know what is the simplest arrangement for the use of manure water in a small plant, with about 1,600 square feet p€ floor space. B. A. A. The simplest arrangement for manure water for a small plant is to use three or four barrels, placed in the most con- venient location under cover, and to use old burlap -bags as containers for the manure, so that the manure may readily be removed from the barrels when exhausted.

FABMINQ UNDER Gl^ASS. As It Is Done in Iowa. The work conducted in a modern greenhouse establishment is no longer spoken of as gardening under glass; the correct term is farming under glass. The accompanying illustrations prove it, especially the one in which a team is shown plowing in a greenhouse, while two other teams are hauling fertilizer. Here are three teams in one house, and in the center of it, at that, and the operations are exactly farm operations, nothing more and nothing less. The big greenhouse in which the plowing is in progress is one of those recently built by the J. W. Davis Co., near Davenport, la. J. W. Davis, presi- dent of the company, is one of the Davis brothers who have built up large and successful establishments at Morri- son, 111., Aurora, 111., Streator, 111., and at Davenport. Mr. Davis went east at the time of the National Flower Show at Boston and was a walking interrogation point, for he then was planning the Davenport establishment. Few men ever have investigated the subject more fully than did Mr. Davis before deciding on the character of his new establishment. He talked with the men who believe that the best pol- icy is to cover as large an area as pos- sible for the money, and who are look- ing for quick profits, and he talked with the men who build for permanence. In the end he concluded that he would build the big houses that have become common in the east, but which are not generally built in the west. ^he Davenport Plant. As H reSult twenty-six acres of land were acquired five miles from Daven- port, on the Iowa & Illinois railway. The first work^was to get a sidetrack put in, as being of prime importance where so much building material had to be handled. Work was commen6(|d about June 15, 1911. The plant -m^ consists of one propagating house 24x 260, three houses 43x600 .ind two houses 64y2x600. These are. the flat iron rafter houses of the Lord & Burnham Co., built separately, with sufficient space between so that no shade is cast, a point Mr. Davis thinks is worth all it costs. The side walls are seven feet high, three feet being concrete. Of these concrete walls there is a total of 7,000 lineal feet in the establishment, from which one can form an estimate of the size of the undertaking in the matter of construction. On top of the concrete wall a cast-iron sill is bolted to carry the iron posts. There is a continuous line of ventilation on each side of the ridge, also on each side of each house under the eave plate. Both walls are of glass above the concrete base. The houses run east and west, with wide doors at each end, so that teams can be driven in, for emptying or filling the beds, or for plowing. There are no benches. The crops are grown in solid beds on the ground. The beds are eight inches deep and five and one-half feet wide. The Heating Arrangements. , Across the center of the houses there is a passagewa}"^ eight feet wide where the steam main is carried, the pipe being reduced as the flows for each house are taken off. The flows are car- ried overhead, on the purlin posts, with the returns on the walls. The Simonds vacuum system is used throughout and during the winter now closing excel- lent results have been secured, the houses having been heated on about one and one -half pounds of steam pres- sure in the most severe weather this winter. ' ,: There was no feature of the estab- lishment to which Mr. Davis paid closer attention than the service building; it is a model of substantial construction, convenience and thorough equipment. It is absolutely fireproof. The building is 50x140 feet, and with its tall brick chimney it gives the appearance, not of a greenhouse boiler-shed of the old days, but of a modern power plant. It is divided into two sections by a wall. On one side are six Kewanee tubular boilers, each of 150 horse-power, mak- ing 900 horse-power all told. On the other side of the wall are the vacuum and water pumps, air compressor, dy- namo and other mechanical accessories. Beyond these is the packing room. The exhaust steam ordinarily is sufficient for heating the houses. Water is sup- plied from a deep well, being forced out by compressed air into a large cistern, from which it is pumped direct to the mains, under 100-pound pressure. The Crops. So important an industry was this that the railroad company established a station at the greenhouse plant; you will find it on the time tables as Davis Gardens, and the local passenger and express cars stop at the station shown in one of the accompanying illustra- tions. Mr. Davis built liis plant not alone with the idea of permanence but with the object in view of having houses .^v-,-':;-!i: Davit Garden^ Station and the Greenhouse* Beside the Track. i A^..r\. ^.^ . 1 ,.i-r^.i».,| t4_,_ ^. •■;^v., •;. .■■■>* Mauch 27. 1913.

Cucumbers and tomatoes have been the principal crops to date, but sweet peas have been an important in- tervening crop. One of the illustra- tions shows one of the houses 64^x600 with the cucumbers just getting a good start. In one of the other pictures a house 43x600 in sweet peas is shown. The photograph was made in January. The pick in this sweet pea house aver- aged 20,000 per day for some weeks. The winter-flowering varieties were used, Boddington's seed being planted. The flowers were packed in the crates ordinarily used for cucumber shipments and most of them were consigned to the A. L. Randall Co., Chicago. The crop proved profitable, but it is figured that better stems will be had another season by less thick planting and that better stems will produce more money. The Davis Floral Co., a separate cor- poration in which J. "W. Davis is inter- ested, is now building a range of sim- ilar houses just across the railroad track from the present establishment, to grow exclusively plants and cut flow- ers for wholesaling. YOUNG SMUiAX PLANTS. I am planning to build another green- house, and I have some smilax started and want to establish it in the new house, which I hope to have completed by June 1. How shall I treat it? Some of the plants are two inches high and some are just coming through the ground. B. A. A. The young smilax plants should be potted ofif into 2-inch or 2%-inch pots aijd kept at a night temperature of not less than 55 degrees, or a little higher than that would be better. If the plants become crowded in these pots before you are ready to plant them out in the bench in the new house, it would pay to give them a shift to a la^er pot. Smilax requires plenty of moisture after the plants become established in the pots. The most serious pest that \w liable to attack it during the summer is red spider, which is more likely to appear when the plants are kept too dry. W. H. T. WHEEE TACT WOULD HELP. Will you answer this query through your columns? A large wholesale and retail florist was sending his wholesale catalogue to a good many of our cus- tomers who were not in the business. We wrote to him asking whether, be- fore sending his next catalogues, he would look into the matter and not send his wholesale list to those not in the business. This happened some time ago. Today one of our best customers came in and gave us "down the coun- try" for stopping her wholesale cat- alogue. In a town of this size, many of one's customers are one's best friends, from a social standpoint, and in this case the lady was not only angry, but had a feeling of real per- sonal grievance against the manager — a feeling of injured friendship. Now, being rather green as to busi- ness policies, we want to ask: Was it not an unbusiness-like act, on the part of the florist, to inform his customer that we were the cause of stopping her catalogue? Should he not have writ- ten that he sent his wholesale catalogue to dealers only? He not only has lost our trade, but probably our customer's, also, and while tve are small fry now, our opportunities are such that we shall not be small fry always. Besides, we always pay our accounts, and paid ac- counts, even if small, mean something more than large unpaid ones. A. F. C. A florist who deals both at wholesale and retail must be possessed of tact, patience and infinite good temper, or he will find himself constantly at arms with one or another of his sustomers. CANADIAN CUSTOMS. The following circular to importers of cut flowers, issued by the Canadian customs department, should be observed by all who ship to the Dominion: Invoices of cut flowers should show the price, number and grade of each in the shipment, classed as the case may be as special or fancy, or as numbers 1, 2 or 3, for example, as follows: Quantity Description and Class Price American Beauty Roses, Special or Fancy . . . No. 1 No. 2 No: 3 Roses (other) Special or Fancy . . . No. 1 . . . No. 2 ... Carnations No. 1 No. 2 No. 3 Violets Such cut flowers are to be regarded as having been shipped in good condition and are to be appraised at their fair market value as at the place of export in such condition.

The best way to propagate perennial phlox is from cuttings. These, taken oflE when about three inches long, will root easily in the propagating bench of a cool house or even in a close cold- frame. Keep the sun from them and keep the sand moist and few will fail to root. There is no need to pot off the cuttings before planting out, for if a cool, moist spell of weather is selected they can be planted directly from the cutting bench to the open ground, and if placed six inches apart in the rows they will produce fine heads of flowers and make nice roots for planting out or selling in the fall. In order to get an early crop of cuttings, it is a good idea to dig up a few clumps of such sorts as it is intended to propagate and place them in a cool greenhouse, but cuttings can be taken from outdoors in April and these will make nice plants the first season. Pansies. Where pansies and violas have been wintered in coldframes, the leaves or other protection should now be removed and the plants should receive a soak- ing watering and be kept freely ven- tilated. It would be well to leave the sashes on for some time, in order to get the plants into flower earlier. Lit- tle baskets of well flowered plants will be found to be good sellers and the grower who gets them in a little earlier than his neighbors is sure to "make good" with them. The covering on outdoor pansies should not be removed too soon. In the northern states we frequently get biting winds and keen frosts in the first half of April and it is always safe to leave at least a thin mulch about them. The winter now passing has been a comparatively open one, but for unmulched plants it has not been at all satisfactory. Memorial Bench Crops. With the passing of Easter there will be considerable bench space at disposal, and such crops as candytuft, ten weeks' stocks and double feverfew, most of which are probably in pots and in need of a shift, should be planted out as soon as benches are in readiness for them. In the case of stocks, if the plants are not yet of sufficient size to plant out there is no need to worry about it, as this year we have a longer gap between Easter and Memorial day than will again happen for many years. Gladioli, which are now a few inches above ground, in the benches, should be along in time for Memorial day. Keep the soil well stirred about them and let the temperature average about 50 degrees at night. Left-OTsr Easter Plants. It hardly pays to carry over some Easter plants, but there are others which should not be thrown on the rub- bish heap. Azalea Indica should not be discarded. Pick off the flowers and seed pods, and about the middle of May plant all the left-overs out in good soil in a coldframe, from which the sasl(bars are removed and where they can be readily reached with the hose and given an abundant water sup- ply. Camellias and ericas will do well if similarly treated. Genistas can be carried over if larger sizes are wanted. If not, throw them away. They should not be planted out, as they lift badly, but should be kept in pots plunged to their brims. The same ic true of aca- cias and metrosideros. Eambler roses will be of no value for forcing an- other season, but can be cut back hard, started up and planted out in May. They will make useful plants for sale in the fall. Spiraeas (astilbes) are so cheap that it hardly pays to plant them out. Calceolarias. Calceolarias are now sending up their flower spikes and should be neatly staked, using sticks painted green for this purpose. As the plants will now be well rooted in their blooming pots, apply liquid manure once in four or five days. As the flowers start to ex- pand, it may be necessary to give them a light shading from the sun's direct rays. The large herbaceous varieties are quite easily scorched. Be sure the plants are kept clear of green aphis by fumigation, as this pest will rapidly cripple them if once it is allowed to get a foothold. , ■ v. '> i Fancy CaladiumB,' |» > If caladiums are still dormant they should be started up. If they have ; been stored in a tolerably warm, dry storehouse they should be sound, but if, as sometimes happens, they are placed with tuberous begonias a large proportion are sure to be found de- cayed. Start the tubers in flats of sand and leaf-mold and do not water too freely at first. Pot up before the roots have started too much and give the plants a warm, moist house to grow in. In summer they will do well in an ordinary greenhouse, but at this early season they should Aot have less than 60 degrees at night. Starting Vegetable Plants. Many country florists do. quite a lit- tle business with vegetable plants, such as tomatoes, celery, pepper^, eggplants, lettuce, cabbage and cauliflower. Prob- ably some of these are alrejady started. If not, a sowing of all can' be made at once. The varieties will; depend to some extent on location, but as a gen- eral rule the following are good sorts to grow: Paris Golden celery for early. Winter Queen for midseason, Paschal or Boston Market for late; Bull Nose, Squash and Kuby King peppers; New York Improved and Black Beauty egg- plants; Jersey Wakefield and Danish Ball Head cabbage; Early Erfurt and Snowball cauliflowers; Big Boston and Tennis Ball lettuce. These vegetables are most salable in small flats or bas- kets, twelve or twenty-four plants in each. All like a light but rich soil. THETONVENTIOMCrD; INNOVATIONS. The August convention of the S. A. F. at Minneapolis will afford a number of novelties, in addition to its being the first time that the society has met in the northwest. The most radical change is the lengthening of the con- vention one day, the S. A. F. directors having decided to use Friday for con- vention purposes rather than turning the fourth day over to the local organ- izations, as has been done in the past. The result is that the local hospitali- ties will be postponed until Saturday, making the convention virtually a five- day affair, for the opening will be on Tuesday, as usual. Another important change is in the matter of the local hospitalities. The S. A. F. directors have taken cogni- zance of the general view that too many distractions have been provided .at recent conventions, making the meeting an outing rather than a busi- ness affair. At the request of the new directors the Twin City florists will not provide entertainments of a char- acter that will draw the visitors away from the convention hall during the four days of the business sessions. The entertainment features for the ladies will be made a feature of, and the gen- tlemen who wish to visit points of spe- cial interest on short individual trips will be taken care of, but the effort will be to center the interest in the business meetings and the trades' dis- play. It is figured that the Minneapolis convention will attract an unusually good trades' display. The trade in the northwest has developed amazingly in recent years and there is a large body of good buyers there who have not been reached at any of the recent con- ventions; it affords the exhibitors a splendid opportunity to extend their acquaintance and there already are in- dications that the trades' display will Tvr.T / Mabch 27. 1018. W-- The Florists^ Review 17 be at least as important a feature as at any previous conventions. The convention is to be held in the armory, a building which affords as good a floor space as the Coliseum at Chicago, or tho armory at Baltimore. In addition there is an excellent room for the business sessions and a number of smaller rooms for the meetings of the special flower societies. The ar- rangements are as good as the society ever has enjoyed. Another new feature will be the out- door display. An acre of ground in front of the armory has been given into the charge of Vice-President Theo- dore Wirth and he is arranging for the planting of exhibits there. This is a feature tried some years ago at Day- ton, where it proved successful, but it has not since been possible to repeat it. Mr. Wirth feels confident that he will have a splendid outdoor show, and any- one who knows the energy and garden- ing ability of the vice-president will feel sure that stock sent him for this ex- hibit will hp,ve the best of care. Work already has been begun on the souvenir album. It, too, will be an innovation, in that the shape of the book will be like the standard maga- zines, instead of the unwieldy flat form previously used for such publications. Plans for the book are well under way. A dummy has been prepared, show- ing the striking cover design and a few of the illustrations that will go into the book. The convention association will be represented at the National Flower Show at New York and work will be pushe^p^orward actively. NUcge. '.

Chicago, 111. — On application of Bowles & Bowles, attorneys for Clifford Pruner, A. F. Longren and W. F. Dunte- man, Judge Dover, in the Superior Court of Cook county, March 24 appointed T. T. Clark as receiver for E. H. Hunt, Inc. The petitioners are minority stock- holders in the Hunt corporation. Their petition alleges insolvency and misman- agement threatening the interests of the petitioners. Holden & Buzzell, the attorneys for the Hhnt corporation, de- nied that the corporation is insolvent, but did not oppose the appointment of a receiver, as some of the creditors were pressing for settlements. Holden & Buzzell state that an accountant, who has just completed an audit of the books, reports net assets of $6,000 to $7,000; bills payable, about $9,000; ac- counts receivable, $7,000; stock, $8,000, after liberal allowances for shrinkage. The principal creditor is said "to be F. A. Thompson & Co., of Detroit, the To-bak-ine people, who have instituted two suits, one for about $4,000 and the other for about $500. There is one small judgment unsatisfied. The re- ceiver now is in charge and continuing the business in the interest of all par- ties concerned. The E. H. Hunt corporation was formed in 1906 to take over the business established in 1876 by the late E. H. Hunt. The capital stock is. $25,000. The officers of the company arc: Presi- dent, K. M. Hunt; treasurer and man- ager, C. M. Dickinson; secretary, T, T. Clark. It is Mr. Clark who is receiver. For many years seeds, cut flowers and florists' supplies were handled. A few years ago seeds and bulbs were dropped to permit of concentration on the other lines, the cut flower business being the oldest in Chicago. A few months ago the cut flower department was disposed of to Erne & Klingel, Mr. Erne being an employee of many years ' standing. Des Flaines, ni. — The George M. Gar- land Co. filed a petition in bankruptcy March 20 in the United States District Court at Chicago and George T. Whit- ney was appointed receiver. The peti- tion included the following summary of the condition of the company: LIABILITIES. Wages due 24 employees $ 2,569.70 Bond Issue 4,500.00 Chattel mortgage 1,413.50 Unsecured claims 13,737.68 Total $22,320.47 ASSETS. Real estate $27,000,00 Cash on hand 87.00 Notes and securities 1,000.00 Stock 10,000.00 Bills due .1,000.00 Insurance policies 5,000.00 Patents 5,000.00 Total $52,087.00 Among the largest unsecured cred- itors the petition shows the following: Quaker City Machine Co. (note) $1,764.07 B. L. Langenbauser (note) 1,356.24 J. L. Schiller (nUte) 1,106.01 Illinois Steel Co. (note) 1,000.00 John C. Moninger Co. (note) 807.13 Geo. M. Garland (wages) 900.00 H. S.

Hedrick i- 162.93 The creditors had been pressing for several days and the filing of the volun- tary petition was to forestall an involuii- tary petition. The appointment of Mr. Whitney as receiver, and the schedules of assets and liabilities aroused some of the largest creditors, who assert that the placing of an employee in charge of the affairs of the bankrupt is prejudicial to their interests, while the Garlands, father and son, are as emphatic in de- claring that the appointment of a trus- tee not friendly to them will defeat their hopes of reorganizing the concern and putting the business on its feet again. The matter will come to an issue April 1, when the first meeting of creditors will be held before Referee Eastman. The George M. Garland Co. is one of the most widely known concerns in the greenhouse building line. George M. Garland was the inventor and patentee of the CTarland cast-iron gutter and at the time he brought it out attracted wide attention, for he was a step in advance of the times. Establishing a foundry at Des Plaines some fifteen years ago, the business grew steadily until incorporation became desirable. The officers of the company are: Presi- dent, George M. Garland; secretary and manager, Harry S. Garland; treasurer, L. C. Foyer. Various other patented features of greenhouse construction were introduced from time to time, in- cluding a truss house and a movable house, on wheels, a large range of which has been built near Detroit. Eecently an expansion of the business had been undertaken, with representation on the Pacific coast and in New England, and with a Minneapolis office in charge of S. A. Jamieson; also the factory facili-« ties were being increased at the time the financial troubles became acute. George S. Garland and his wife have been on the Pacific coast for their health this winter. Mr. Garland was summoned home last week and states that he has plans which he expects to result in the reorganization of the com- pany and the continuation of the busi- ness. ' Portland, Ind.— The Portland Nur- sery Co. has been made defendant in a suit for an accounting and for the appointment of a receiver filed in the Circuit Court here by Charles W. Mc-' Donald, receiver for the T. W. Meneray Co., of Pottawattamie county, Iowa. The complaint alleges that the defend- ant company is indebted to the con- cern of which the plaintiff is receiver, in the sum of $260.50, and that it is unable to meet aU financial obligations. Boston, Mass. — Enoch E. Fletcher filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in the United States District Court March 17, scheduling liabilities at $2,- 822.24, with assets of $993.79.

There will be a meeting on Monday afternoon, April 7, at the Grand Cen- tral Palace in New York, of the na- tional publicity committee provided for at the last convention, of the S. A. F. in Chicago, to consider the proposition of providing for a permanent secretary of the national committee to aid in ad- vancing the publicity movemeilt. All florists' clubs in the country having a publicity committee and having ap- pointed a representative to membership in this national committee should see that their representative is notified of this meeting aftid is in attendance. If unable to be present another member should be sent to represent the club. W. R. Pierson, Representative of the Publicity Com- mittee of the New York Florists' Club. OABDENEBS' FBOOSAM. The National Association of Garden- ers has completed its program for the week. Its headquarters will be the Mur- ray Hill hotel, Park avenue and For- tieth street. The secretary will be at the headquarters every morning from eight o'clock to ten o'clock from the opening until the closing of the show, to arrange for the admission cards to the show and other entertainment of the members of the T^. A. G. Season ticlcets to the show will be issued only on presentation of the association 's 1913 membership card. A meeting of the association will be held Monday, April 9, at two o'clock, in the lecture hall of the .Grand Central Palace. R. F. Felton, of London, will address the members at th^-ee o'clock on the practical usages of flowers. "WHO'S WHO-AND WHY" W. WELLS. IT is highly complimentary that, after visiting us two years ago, W. Wells should be coming back. He must like us. As everybody knows, at least, as every chrysanthemum grower knows, W. Wells is the English end of the interna- tional triumvirate that includes T. W. Pockett as its Australian member and Charles H. Totty as its American representative. Mr. Totty is the mainspring that is energizing the clockwork of the approaching National Flower Show at New York, so why shouldn't his business associate run over from Merstham, in Surrey, to attend? No reason at all, so he did. He arrived at New York this week on the Mauretania, in company with several other distinguished gentlemen who will assist in judging the show. Tuesday evening at nine o'clock members of the association will assem- ble in the men 's dining hall of the Mur- ray Hill hotel for a Dutch treat and a social evening. Wednesday the Na- tional Gardeners' and Florists' Bowl- ing Tournament will be held at Thumm 's alleys, Broadway and Thirty-first street, beginning at nine o'clock in the morn- ing and lasting throughout the day. Other entertainment will be provided during the week, which will be an- nounced during the first days of the show. HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS. Tlie Hotel Martinique will be S. A.

EVANSVILLE, IND. Easter Trade. Easter business was tremendpus, be- ing fully up to that of last Easter and in some respects greater. Saturday was a beautiful, bright day, and deliveries were made rapidly, without the extra trouble of wrapping. On Easter morning rain threatened, but did not come. The day became sunshiny and summer tem- perature prevailed, and by noon the florists ' rush was over. Mixed with the orders for Easter flowers was consider- able funeral work. Boses, carnations, violets, sweet peas, etc., were abun- dant and thousands were sold, at prices somewhat under those of last year. Among the plants most called for were Easter lilies, daffodils, jonquils and hya- cinths. Everything moved along smoothly and rapidly. Of course, the beautiful weather was "the greatest help. The kind of weather to be had was doubtful up to the last minute, as it was cold on Friday, but it warmed up suddenly and everybody was happy. Various Notes. The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. had one of the largest and best supplies of plants and cut flowers ever seen here, and it was all home-grown. The roses and carnations were extra fine and brought good prices. They had plants of all kinds in abundance and these were just about cleaned out by noon on Sunday. They had six delivery wagons going all day Saturday. An immense number of packages were sent out by parcel post. Along with all this was some funeral work. Julius Niednagel & Sons had a larger supply of plants and cut flowers than ever before, and they had a large force working overtime in order to dispose of this supply. The roses were plentiful, as well as the carnations, and they had several thousand violets of their own growing. The latter, being fragrant, sold better than those shipped in. The sweet peas were fine. A number of rhododendrons in full bloom made an exquisite showing. •T. C. Elspermann was well satisfied with his sales, which were in some in- stances greater than ever. He had a big supply of lilies, daffodils, jonquils, tulips, hyacinths, etc., and sent out load after load. He had a nice cut of carna- tions, but had to buy considerable quan- tities of these and of roses to fill tli" orders. A good deal of funeral work was also on hand. Dave Elspermann was confined to the house by illness and could not help in the rush. Extra help was engaged and deliveries were made on time and to the satisfaction of all. Miss Xellie Goodge shared in the large trade and was exceedingly busy. Her line of plants was good. Louis Fritsch had a heavy trade. His plants were good. The carnations were extra fine and had a ready sale at good* prices. Henry Seymour got his full share of the business. His line of plants was good. His carnations were excellent and plentiful. Ben Kramer was extremely busy and had a fine lot of lilies and other plants, as well as cut flowers. Carl Zeidler, on the west side, had a biff demand for seasonable plants and flowers. Royston & Fenton sold all the roses they had. Austin Wallace disposed of all of his carnations. The Evansville Floral Co., selling car- nations at 35 cents to 50 cents and roses at 50 cents to $1, seemed to be doing a good business. C. L. Niednagel sold all of his Amer- ican Beauty, Killarney and My Mary- land, all of which were of excellent quality. E. L. F. ST. Loms. The Southwestern Market. The wholesale cut flower markets were surely in good condition last week. The supply of anything seasonable was large and the quality was of the best. The early part of the week saw a big glut in violets and peas, which were sold at low prices, but these doubled up Sat- urday and Sunday, when the demand came on heavily. The same may be said of carnations; only the best sold well the first part of the week* but the latter part anything sold up well at prices from $3 to $5 per hundred. Roses were plentiful all through the week, as all the growers were in full crop. Rich- mond, the Killarneys and Maryland ranged from $4 to $12 per hundred. There was a scarcity of Easter lilies and callas and clean-up sales on these were reported. In other bulbous stock the market had a big supply of every- thing needed, some extra fine tulips, Dutch hyacinths, valley, Romans, free- sias and Paper Whites, on which no ad- vance in prices was asked. We can safely say that our local market took good care of the local florists this year and all say that Easter consignments were larger and better than in any previous year. Easter at Betail. The Easter business among the local florists was considerably ahead of last year in cut flower sales, but in the plant line it was surely beyond expec- tations. The weather was fine on Sat- urday, but Sunday a steady rain all morning hurt the transient business greatly. The sale of plants was re- markable all through. Lilies had the call above any, although azaleas and hvdrangeas had a great demand. Tulips, Dutch hyacinths, valley and Von Sions in pans were also good sellers. In fact, anything in blooming plants sold up clean by Sunday noon. The displays of these at the establishments of George Waldbart. M. M. Ayres. F. H. Weber. F. C. Weber, Ellison, Kalisch, Young and Sanders in the west end were of the highest type and all of these report the best Easter business in years. In the south end Windier, Bergstermann, Beyer. Schray, Fillmore, Kruse, Bruenig and Herzog are more than pleased with their Easter business. Bentzen, Mul- lanphy, Tower Floral Co., Ostertag Bros, and the Metropolitan say business was great in all respects. Young's downtown store, as well as their west end branch, had all they could do with their big force of help. The florists up near the big cemeteries, Meinhardt, Koenig and Nyflot, as usual, had a big demand for plants and decorations. Various Notes. Fred R. Aichner, representing the Pine Tree Silk Mills Co., Philadelphia, called on the trade last week. Robert Scott, the Shreve avenue flo- risty who grows plumosus for this mar- ket, had his ventilating apparatus badly damaged and some glass broken by a wind storm last week. Grimm & Gorly, who will move this month a few doors west, used their new place for a plant annex for the Easter rush. There were a lot of tornadoes all around St. Louis Easter, but'we escaped them. If anyone would have walked through the west end Monday morning, March 24, and looked at the show houses of the florists, one would think it had struck them, as they were prac- tically cleaned out of plants. George Angermueller says his Easter business was larger than in any previ- ous year. At the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. last week someone asked Paddy Patten if he was busy. ' ' Busy ! " he said, ' ' why, my boy, if I was to drop dead right now I wouldn't have time to attend my own funeral." One of the best arranged Easter win- dows was that of Otto Sander. His trade shows a steady increase. From reports the local retailers en- joyed a splendid telegraph order busi- ness from orders of florists outside of the city. This is one branch of the business that is growing each year. Any of those who advertise in The Review will tell you that. Henry Berning handled a fine lot of cut lilies. These were scarce and the big demand cleaned them up with ad- vance orders. The Retail Florists' Association post- poned its meeting to Wednesday, March 26, at the Washington hotel, following with a banquet. The trade extended sympathy to Henry Ostertag last week in the loss of his brother, Fred, who died after a lingering illness. The obituary column contains a full account. Riessen Floral Co., on South Broad- way, says this was one of the best East- ers. Everything sold well at good prices. A. Jablonsky had quite a heavy loss of Easter lily plants March 20, when his horse ran away with a load he was delivering to retail stores. The wagon contained 150 fine plants that were nearly a complete loss. The Windier Wholesale Floral Co. had some fine snapdragon last week. Albert Gumz says business was great. Mrs. M. Eggeling lost a big plate glass window, broken last week, doing quite a bit of damage to plants. It happened early in the week, so it did not interfere with their Easter business, which was good. The Schoenle Floral Co. has closed the store on Lafayette avenue and moved all fixtures to the new store on Grand avenue, which is run under the name of Mrs. Rosa Schoenle. Mrs. Schoenle is much pleased with her Easter business at her new location. J. J. B. McCook, Neb. — The McCook green- houses, until recently owned by E, C. McKay, are now the property of C. H. Brown, of Achilles, Kan. As another result of the deal, Mr. McKay is now the owner of a stock ranch at Achilles. Mr. Brown has already taken charge of the greenhouses. Mr. McKay will leave soon for his new home on the farm, but will retain possession of his residence property here. .. ^ J*V>.

It was a tired, red-eyed lot of pien who began to lock up their stores on West Twenty-eighth street about 1 o'clock in the afternoon of Easter, after a continuous session beginning at 6 a. m. Saturday. And many were tho flowers which had changed hands dur- ing that time, for all agreed that the receipts had been from fifty to 100 per cent greater than last year. It is true that some of the flowers came to hand in bad shape. Three days of hot, sultry, foggy weather ruined the violets and took the color out of the roses. As a consequence, the market was filled with unsalable violets. One commissiou mer- chant who is entitled to speak with authority on this particular flower said on Sunday morning that there were not less than a million violets carried over in the street, and some of them good violets, too, although the majority were of poor quality. As for prices, they ranged from 75 cents down to 20 to 30 cents, with the average greatly re- duced by the waste. Beauties brought from 50 to 60 cents for specials. In the lower grades there was a full supply going at the buyer's price. Killarney, White Killarney, Eichmond, Bride and Maid were sold at list prices in con- siderable quantities. Cattleyas of the dark sorts sold well at 30 to 50 cents, and considerable quantities of Schroe- deree were taken, but at a low range of prices. Carnations were plentiful, and as the week drew to a close it became evident that the supply was excessive and prices weakened from the top fig- ure, which was 6 cents, till at the close 2 cents was accepted for good stock. While large quantities of carnations were cleaned up, a good many were carried over. In spite of heavy re- ceipts, lilies did well, the market being jeleared at prices ranging as high as 5 "cents. Valley was plentiful and sold well, but showed no marked improve- ment in prices. Gardenias of the better grades were in demand and brought good prices. Sweet peas sold well, par- ticularly if long-stemmed. Shorts, even, were taken up fairly well and but few were carried over. Narcissi were in full supply and sold freely, but a good many poeticus were carried over. Paper Whites were no^ so plentiful and were cleaned up well. Daffodils were plenti- ful and cheap. Shipments of southern daffodils came to hand March 20 and were cleared out at 20 to 30 cents, but the heavy arrivals anticipated for Saturday did not materialize and the greenhouse flowers held up well. Con- siderable stock was carried over, how- ever. Tulips sold freely, particularly the white ones. Freesias continue to come into the market and find sale at from 10 cents up. Stocks were slow and quantities were carried over. Plants sold well throughout the week, the volume of business being unequaled and the prices satisfactory. The Easter weather was fine and the volume of business reported, both by wholesalers and retailers, exceeded all recent records^ Plants were featured by most retailers, and the quantity of plants sold has been tremendous. Flowers in Department Stores. Nearly all the New York and Brook- lyn department stores handle plants and cut flowers. C. C. Trepel, who has the flower department in several of these stores, has built up an enormous busi- ness. At Gimbel's the flowers and plants at Easter occupied the northeast corner of the basement and about 100 clerks were kept busy up to the closing hour Saturday. Bloomingdale Bros, in- cluded in their full-page advertisements on Friday an offer of one ticket to the Natioiial Flower Show for the opening night with each purchase of $1 or more in any department of the store. The tickets were given out in the flower department only, in exchange for checks. As a result of this advertisement, the services of five policemen were required to keep the crowd in order, and even- tually the crowd became so big that the fire commissioner ordered the doors closed for fear of the results of a panic in such a mob. It is not often that a florist has to be protected from his would-be patrons by the police. Many florists would like to be mobbed by buyers just once, to see how it feels. Various Notes. ' J. H. Small & Sons ' Broadway store at Easter looked like a private conserv- atory. At the foot and at the top of the stairway leading up from the mezza- nine floor to the top gallery were beau- tiful arches of ramblers in full bloom. These arches, which were grown for the purpose, were perfect in their propor- tions and most effective. At noon Sun- day the store looked bare, almost deso- late, except for the tired, happy clerks who ^ad helped clear it of plants and flowers. Max Schling had some exquisite Cattleya gigas and tiger lilies and showed an attractive lot of heather in Japanese boxes, which showed it up well. C. A. Dards reported trade about as usual, with a strong preference for the old favorites among the plants. Alex. McConnell reported an unusual- ly big demand • for lilies and a satis- factory volume of trade in all lines. M. A. Bowe had some unusually fine spiraea and had a display of filled bas- kets which went off in great shape. A. Warendorff, 1193 Broadway, showed the usual array of plants, bas- kets, etc. Among the attractive novel- ties was a twin basket of white enam- eled willow, each side carrying a 7-inch pot with an azalea in one and a Scottii fern in the other. A yellow chick perched among the green and a bow of lavender ribbon gave the whrfTe a very Eastery effect. Young & Nugent 's store is in the heart of the theatrical district and did an enormous volume of business in fancy baskets. A liberal use of ribbon characterized their display, f Downtown florists report liberal buy- ing in spite of dullness on Wall street. Warendorff 's Liberty Tower store did a great business in plants. The An- sonia store, where Mrs. Warendorff (76 years young) presides, makes an equally favorable report from the hotel district. Henry M. Robinson Co. had some fine specimens of the new rose grown by S. J. Eeuter & Son, Westerly, R. I., which, in default of a name, is known by its shipper's number, 44. They also had some handsome Mrs. Charles Rus- sell from the Waban Rose Conserva- tories, Natick, Mass. J. J. Coan, manager of the Growers' Cut Flower Co., displayed last week some Majestic carnations grown by Henry Weston, of Hempstead, L. I., that were over four inches in diameter and with 3-foot stems. It is a white, blotched with pink. This carnation was given eighty-six points at a recent meet- ing of the New York Florists' Club. A flower market will be opened soon at the northern end of Union square. This proposal emanated from the Cen- tral Mercantile Association and has been approved by Park Commissioner StoA'er. It is proposed to build a forum to be used by flower venders in the morning and by the public in the after- noon and evening. One of the commission houses re- ceived on Saturday morning a shipment of 40,000 single violets which only brought an average of about 6 cents. In his anxiety to get a big lot into the Easter market the grower held his vio- lets. As a result the flowers were too old, and even the good flowers were rendered worthless by being bunched with decaying ones. Many of the bunches were unsalable even to ped- dlers. Had this grower kept his violets picked closely he could have sent in 15,000 easily, which would have brought 75 cents on the last day, while those shipped earlier would have brought 20 to 30 cents if they had been received in good shape early in the week. The friends of J. Austin Shaw will be pleased to learn that he has so far recovered that he has been able to leave the hospital. He will probably be con- fined to the house for a week or more, bjit looks forward to the pleasure of attending the International Flower Show. Wertheimer Bros, say a large number of their customers have advised them that they will be in New York for the show and they are making extensive preparations for their reception. OBITtJAEY. Myron H. Mills. Myron H. Mills, a pioneer florist of Binghamton, N. Y., died at his home, 55 Front street, on Saturday, March 15. He retired from business a few years ago, but was well known and highly esteemed among the older gen- eration of florists. He was born in Marcellus, N. Y., April 29, 1826, and removed to Binghamton in 1870. His first wife was Miss Louise Poppel. Their daughter, Mrs. Celora E. Martin, and Mrs. Tracy Fuller and Miss Jennie Mills, the daughters of his second wife, who was Miss Augusta Webb of Wash- ington, D. C, survive him. Fred W. Ostertag. Fred W. Ostertag, at one time one of the firm of Ostertag Bros., St. Louis, died Tuesday, March 18, after a long illness. He was well known among the trade and was one of the best workmen in the floral art and decorating for big jobs. The funeral took place from the residence of his brother, Henry C. Ostertag, Thursday afternoon, March 20, at two o'clock, to Belief ontaine cemetery. He was 42 years of age and leaves a mother, brother and sister to mourn his loss. A great many of his friends attended the funeral and the floral designs were many and beautiful. J. J. B.

The Saturday Evening Post, with its more than two million circulation, cer- tainly gave the florists a big boost with the cover design on the issue put on sale March 20. With this issue The Review reaches 800 weeks of age. Not what can be called a ripe old age, but we have aimed to live a useful life and plan no change in this respect. 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. Those who put everything off to the last minute may see the error of their way in the fate of the Easter orders. Scores of those who scorned to use the mail found, when the eleventh hour ar- rived, that the telegraph and telephone wires were down and that they could not reach their expected source of cut-flower supply. There are two labor wars in progress that may in time affect florists; the silk mills and the rubber goods mills are tied up by strikes. Already some special flower colors in ribbons are unobtainable at the first hands, but the supply of rub- ber hose still is ample, for the general spring demand has not become strong as yet. An extremely handsome vase of car- nations adorned the desk of the Editor of The Review last week. They were from J. F. Brown, of French Lick, Ind., and it is possible the unusual size of the flowers was due to the Pluto water for which that resort is famous. The va- rieties were Enchantress, Washington and Pocahontas. S. J. Reuter, Westerly, R. I., head of S. .T. Reuter & Son, Inc., suffered an apoplectic stroke on the afternoon of Sunday, March 16, and was in an ex- tremely critical condition for several days. March 25 he was reported as much improved mentally, but physically weak; he is recovering as rapidly as could be expected under the circumstances. There was a notable increase in the Easter orders exchanged between retail- ers in more or less distant cities. The public gradually is awaking to the fact that the trade has facilities for de- livering orders in any distant city, and, as the knowledge spreads, the business grows. All retailers, everywhere, feel safe in taking orders for delivery in any city that has a representative in The Review's department -of Leading Retail Florists. "KIND WORDS NEVER DIE." The many words of appreciation and suggestion that are added to subscrip- tiolt,letters are welcome to the Editor — and so are the occasional kicks — be- cause they show what the trade wants in its paper, and whether or not it is getting what is wanted. An editor can come in personal contact with only a small portion of his readers; conse- quently he is dependent on the mail to keep in touch, although the growth of the subscription list and the advertising patronage — or the shrinkage! — serve as an index to the correctness of the edi- torial policy. There never will be a publication that, editorially, will suit everybody. Frank A. Munsey, one of the greatest of living editors, recogniz- ing this, says he edits his publications to please himself, believing that he will therefore please the majority of right-minded men and women. On the other hand, the average editor simply tries to find out what the readers want and then gives it to them. The wisest course frequently is not the easiest course, especially in a trade paper. The easiest class of matter to get is the write- up stuff that properly belongs in the ad- vertising section, even though it may have some little news value — the good advertisements all have that. And the easiest class of matter to write is that laudatory stuff that no one believes, not even the one written about, if he be honest with himself. But "bunk," while it may bring an advertising or- der, won't hold subscribers. It isn't the class of matter that brings letters like these: We missed our Review last week and we want It; in fact, we can not get along without It, for it is part of the office staff and Indispensable — like the proverbial fresh pop corn, the more one gets of ft the more one wants. — Hay Floral & Seed Co., BrockvlUe, Out., March 5, 1913. Enclosed find |2 to pay for The Review for the next two years. It Is a splendid paper. I often wonder where you get all the Information you give us from week to week. I would not be without the paper at five times the price. ' I appreciate your efforts to serve the trade. Noth- ing like it is published anywhere else, in my opinion. — W. T. League, Hannibal, Mo., March 11, 1913. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. It was a most remarkable Easter. There was every favorable condition for a record-breaking business, but the weather interfered and the aggregate money value of sales in this market was not so great as it has been in years when stock was not so plentiful. The wholesalers' troubles began with the breaking of telegraph and telephone communication by a big sleet storm that was general through the middle west on the night of March 20. Chicago was isolated. Telegrams ordering stock to be shipped Friday were delivered anywhere from one to three days later. It cut a big hole in the business. Even yet the wire service is not good. The consensus of opinion is that the storms are the only reason why the market did not have a banner Easter. There was an abundance of stock in most lines. Good Beauties were not to be had in any quantity. Richmond sold better than usual on that account, not only cleaning up, but running short. Of other roses there was an abundance, the quality was good and prices mod- erate. No doubt the receipts would have cleaned up and at a better aver- age price- had the telegraph orders come in on time. Mabch 27, 1913. The Florists' Review 23 it THE FINEST STOCK IN LARGE SUPPLY It is a fact you easily can prove that, length for length, our Roses carry larger and finer heads than any others on this market. We ask retailers to order freely of our Killarney, White Killamey and Mrs. Ward, for we are certain that these roses will win friends for us by making friends for those who buy of us. Mrs. Ward is in full crop and a splendid seller. Eemember we have a full line: Killarney, White Killarney, Ward, Richmond, Radiance, Sunburst, Bulgarle (Mrs. Taft). SWEET PEAS This is the time of year when you can do a fine corsage business with our fancy, long-stemmed sweet peas. We have long-stemmed sweet peas in very large quantity— can fill orders for thousands. The longest stemmed, brightest colored, special fancy Blanche Ferry and the new winter-blooming Spencer. Others will have Spencers in May— here they are in quantity in March. You can't get them anywhere else. We are the only source of supply in this market, so why not order direct? CARNATIONS We believe we are receiving better average prices for our Carnations than are being received by any other house in this market for the simple reason that our stock grades highest— few low grade carnations here. And the buyers have found that It's not what you pay but what you get that determines value. We give value. The more you think about it the more certain you are to order of us. BULB STOCK We can supply all the spring bulbous flowers in quantity, of good quality and at prices that leave the retailer a good profit. Current Price List ORCHIDS Per dos.

The supply of Easter lilies did not prove to be so large as was expected. Lilies cleaned up in good shape at rather better prices than in recent years. Carnations proved to be in something of an oversupply; some houses were able to clean up fairly well, but buyers who were sufficiently diligent were able to find a place where they could have a hand in the making of prices. This was especially the case Saturday night and Sunday morning. On the whole, prices will not prove any too satisfactory to the growers. But it was with violets that the chief trouble came. The weather at Ehine- beck was wet and warm. When the stock arrived here most of it scattered badly when the bunch was shaken, and nearly every bunch showed a few rotted flowers. The result was that even where the retailers had placed orders in ad- vance, they would not accept the goods tendered for delivery. Of course the greater part of the violets eventually found a sale through the outdoor ven- ders, but there was a discouragingly large waste. Never in the history of the Chicago market have the returns to growers been so small, and yet there was a demand for strictly first-class vio- lets. The local singles did much better than the eastern doubles, for the quality was much more satisfactory. There was the usual difficulty in | cleaning up the bulbous stock; no mat- ter how fast one sold, the arrivals were even faster. Sweet peas did fairly well, profiting somewhat by the condition of the violets. Not many cattleyas w^re in and they sold well, but some delayed shipments realized little. Stocks were difficult to sell. Snapdragons did well, but were not in large supply. Most of the wholesalers found them- selves with little business Friday, ex- cellent business Saturday and scarcely anything doing Sunday. Of the retail business there is an almost unanimous report. The storm cut a big hole in Friday's sales, Satur- day was one of the best days ever ex- perienced, and there was every pros- pect for record-breaking business Sun- day morning. Most of the retailers worked all night Saturday and before daylight found it raining heavily. As a result they changed their plans, buy- ing nothing Sunday morning and spend- ing the day in making deliveries; there was scarcely any retail trade Sunday, where normally a big corsage and mis- cellaneous counter trade is done, espe- cially by those located in residence dis- tricts. Practically all the retailers were behind last year in sales. Most of them Were stuck on plants to a greater or less degree, but not many had over- bought on cut flowers. Everyone takes it philosophically, because all agree that it would have been a banner Easter ex- cept for the storms Friday and Sunday. Various Notes. Almost every greenhouse establish- ment north and west of town lost more or less glass in the gale Sunday night, March 23. Several serious losses are reported under the general storm news on another page. The Chicago retail florists advertised for Easter more extensively than ever before. Besides neighborhood advertis- ing, several used large spaces in the daily papers. The George Wittbold Co. led off with a full page in the Tribune March 19. The Fleischman Floral Co. had a full page in the same paper March 21, and used about one-third of a page in some of the other dailies. .John Mangel used about one-third of a page in the Tribune March 19, and A. Lange increased his regular space. C. A. Samuelson had a strong showing March 21. A feature of the advertising was the emphasis placed on the statement that regular prices would prevail; no advance because of the extra demand. Bassett & Washburn received twenty- two telegrams March 22 that should have arrived March 21. Fifteen of these called for stock to go out March 21. March 23 eight telegrams were re- Mabcb 27. 1913.

This was a fair sample of what the whole- salers faced. N. J. Wietor, treasurer of the trades' committee that handled the 1912 S. A. F. convention entertainment, states that a meeting of the committee has been called for Thursday, March 27, at which it is expected that the refund of the un- expended money will be ordered. At the postoffice March 22 a letter was received addressed "To Some Re- liable Florist, Chicago, 111." The post- office delivered it to C. W. McKellar. E. W. McLellan, of San Francisco, was in town several days last week on his way home from New York and Bos- ton. He wired his people to ship some of the roses he grows under the name of Mignon, and after a five days' trip the flowers were put on sale in the store of the E. C. Amling Co., March 21. The leading retailers snapped up the novelty on sight. A. L. Bandall returned from his an- nual outing at West Baden in time for the Easter rush and went to New York, March 24, in company with Frank John- son. Mr. Bandall sails March 27 for Europe, on a buying expedition. Mr. Johnson will return March 30. J. A. Evans, Bichmond, Ind., was in town March 21.

Winterson's Seed Store reports that counter trade began promptly the mo- ment the calendar showed the arrival of spring, but that the bad weather has made the increase slow. Tim Matchen so overworked at Peter Beinberg's during the Easter rush that he was not able to come to the store either of the first two days of this week. W. J. Smyth had a big funeral Mon- day morning after Easter, keeping the force going most of the night preced- ing, after the night work of Easter. A, Paquette, formerly of Cleveland, now is with the Atlas Floral Co. The Spring Flower Show, to open April 1 in the Art Institute, is being extensively advertised. The attendance seems assured, and the probabilities are that a good showing will be made, espe- cially of roses and carnations, which now are plentiful in the market. Theodore Wirth, superintendent of parks of Minneapolis, vice-president of the S. A. F. and chairman of the con- vention committee, spent a couple of days in town last week. E. A. Hamburg & Co., who recently opened a store in the Atlas block, next door to the Chicago Carnation Co., have secured the services of Willie Abraham- son as salesman in the department spe- cializing on florists' refrigerators. He assumed his new duties just before Easter and reports having already made some good sales. Mr. Abrahamson was formerly with P. Jones, a florist, and is well known and liked in the trade. Anton C.

The plants left were mostly the larger ones. Cut flowers cleaned up better than plants. William Kidwell, on Forty-third street, did one-third more business on the three days preceding Easter this year than a year ago and sold almost completely out of plants by Saturday night. The Sunday corsage trade, how- ever, was wiped out, but no stock loss was sustained, as the store cleaned out on cut flowers the night before and did not buy in the rain. W. E. Lynch, of A. L. Vaughan & Co., says he does not recall a time when the florists, wholesalers, growers and re- tailers, had to contend with so much in the way of adverse weather conditions as March 21, 22 and 23, but adds that even at that the weather could not block activities entirely. Phil Schupp comments that it was re- markable that such small losses should . be reported around the Bowmanville greenhouses as a result of Sunday's storm, and says the only glass gone at the .T. A. Budlong place was in the Beauty ranges, where two boxes re- paired the damage. This he considers especially lucky, as these houses are now in crop. Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, says that with the exception of the lack of demand Sunday morning, the business for the week ending March 23 was the best since the firm has been in business and shipping was almost tripled over Christmas. In order to better care for the Easter rush Harry Eowe, the Monroe street florist, rented a vacant store at 120 South Wabash avenue, where baskets, pans and hampers were made up. Miss Anna Sigmund, of the Madison Moral Co., says the few days previous to Easter brought in a rush of large funeral pieces that fairly swamped the force and made it hard to get things in shape for the Easter trade. A call at the factory of the Eaedlein Basket Co. found the entire staff enjoy- ing a' breathing spell after the rush of getting out Easter orders. According to Curtis Raedlein, the flower buying pub- lic is favoring the idea of buying flow- ers in baskets more than a year ago. Raedlein Baskets Meet every requirement.

The second spring show of the Hor- ticultural Society of Chicago, and its twenty-first annual exhibition, to be held April 1 to 5 at the Art Institute, prom- ises to surpass last year 's event. Local growers and a number of private gar- deners in the city and suburbs have in- dicated their intention to send exhibits. Coming hs it does just after the Easter rush and before the big show at N«w York, it is thought that many of the local florists will avail themselves of the opportunity of showing Chicago so- ciety at least some of their floral beau- ties and decorative possibilities. Some interesting lectures will be pro- vided by professors from the University of Illinois and local speakers. The ad- dresses announced are: "Flowers for Home Grounds," by H. B. Dorner; "Fertilizers," by F. W. Muncie; "Col- or Harmony in Planting," by C. F. Kel- ley; "Flowering Shrubs in Their Order of Blooming, ' ' by Wm. A. Peterson, the well-known nurseryman, and "How to Care for Trees, ' ' by Dr. Frank Johnson, of Glen EUyn. Dr. Johnson has a really remarkable collection of material for demonstrating the how and why of pruning and tree surgery. The public will be shown how to sow seed, trans- plant and do other gardening stunts properly by K. C. Lund, gardener for Sears, Eoebuck & Co., who will be pres- ent every day. Mr. Stromback will be in charge of the bureau of information. An interesting feature will be an ex- hibit made by the Chicago Fish Fan- ciers' Club.

Some bulbs failed to produce good leaves and the flowers were only half developed. Is our soil too rich, where the plants grow fourteen or fifteen inches tall? K. N. Your spikes are just about the height they should be. Probably they have been kept buried outdoors or in a cold cellar until they have become somewhat drawn, which may account in part for their apparent legginess, but six inches of clear stem between the base of the leaves and the first flowers is all right. The fact that the flowers are loosely scattered on the spike is due rather to the varieties grown than to culture. Some sorts have flowers quite densely arranged on the stalks, while others are quite loose. In order to have stocky plants, they must be grown cool all the time and quite close to the glass. The tendency of the spikes to lengthen out is much greater after March 1 than earlier.

There were more of both plants and flowers offered than ever before. Nearly all of them were sold, the mar- ket closing stronger on Easter evening than seemed possible after a week of such extraordinary activity. There is no doubt that the receipts in dollars and cents were larger than ever before, probably much larger. The scope of the business in bloom- ing plants was remarkable. For ten days the express companies were busy carrying off the cream of the stock to other cities. Then came the local de- mand and by the time it was satisfied there was little left in the greenhouses. The lily was the principal Easter plant. Everything that was in bloom, either growing or cut, was sold at prices that ranged from 10 to 12% cents, with shorts at 8 and specials at 15 cents. The demand for lilies exceeded the sup- ply on the day before Easter. Many more could have been sold. The azalea was in brisk demand, the supply being smaller than usual. Many of the grow- ers think azaleas have ceased to be profitable and as a result there were not nearly enough. The rose showed a gain in popularity. The greater variety of the Wichuraiana class, both in the tall and dwarf types, and the improve- ment in their cultivation are responsi- ble. When well done the novel va-. rieties were eagerly taken. The French varieties were the feature of the hydran- feas. They were extremely pretty, af- ording opportunity for taking color combinations. Many Otaksa were late. Spiraeas were excellent and abundant. Gladstone was about the only variety forced, except just a few of the pink, Queen Alexandra. There were quite enough spiraeas, although in places more could have been used at the last mo- ment. Ehododendrons and genistas BERGER BROS SWEET PEAS THE BEST FLOWERS FOR WEDDINGS.

Daisies are hardly important except when well done. Valley in pots was short. Nicely flowered hyacinths, tulips and daffodils in pans and pots went even better than usual. There was little salable flower- ing stock left, either in the greenhouses or in the shops, on Easter Monday. The strength of the cut flower market at Easter was surprising when the busi- ness in plants is considered. The mar- ket actually advanced day by day until Easter morning, when there was little left anywhere. The volume of business exceeded that of last year. The sup- ply was hardly so large. Prices were higher, though never excessive, and there was little waste. The warm weather, especially on Good Friday, caused some damage, softening some stock so that it was unfit for use. The violet was the weak spot. Numbers of violets reached the city in such bad shape that they had to be thrown out, while some that were believed to be in good condition caused complaint. Tho warm weather and over-ripeness were the causes. The New York doubles and the fancy singles suffered most. Lady Campbell and the little Schoen- brun violets were the best, while some Marie Louise from the Hudson river were also fine. The price was 40 cents to $1.25 a hundred. Sweet peas are pushing the violets hard for first place as a corsage flower and they were in March 27, 1918.

Pink sweet peas were more needed than lav- ender or white. Prices ranged from 50 cents to $1.50 a hundred. White lilac was in good supply and sold well. Ev- erybody wanted Ward carnations, so that 6 and occasionally 8 cents was ob- tained. Other kinds brought 4 to 6 cents. Holding was again the bane of the carnation, the grower losing every time. It really seems that if we had a holiday every month flowers would be held, although everybody knows or should know that holding means loss, to say nothing of the dishonesty of such practices. There were not many cat- tleyas. The dark ones, Mossise, brought $9 a dozen more readily than Schroederse brought $6 to $7.50. Gardenias were corsage favorites at from $2 to $4 a dozen.

They exhausted all of the good stock. The quantity of snap- dragon offered was a surprise and it was generally taken at from 75 cents to $1.50 a dozen. Pansies did well at about $1 a hundred. Daisies dragged at $1.50. There were not many more calla lilies or mignonette than the reg- ular buyers wanted. All varieties of green were in moderate demand. Daf- fodils sold splendidly despite a little outdoor and much southern competition. There is really no comparison between Emperor when well grown under glass and the stock mentioned. The price on Emperor was $2.50 to $3 a hundred, while the southern ranged from $12.50 a thousand downward. Murillo was the principal tulip, at 3 and 4 cents. Many tulips were sold, but there were rather more than enough. The rose market was active. Special Beauties were scarce at $7.50 to $10 a dozen, figures that show how scarce they were, Bichmond was not plentiful. Prices ranged from $5 to $15, with a few fancies higher, these prices apply- ing to the other varieties of roses. White were more difficult to obtain. The market has fallen off since Easter, but there is quite enough business to consume a rather limited supply arriv- ing since the close cut for the holiday. Lilies are coming in slowly. Sweet peas are arriving more heavily, but there is a big demand for them. Beau- ties bid fair to become plentiful soon. There are no other special features to the market beyond the fact that there is a fair proportion of high grade stock and prices are moderate. Various Notes. B. Eschner and ^^rs.

It would have been hard to manufac- ture weather any nearer perfect than we had for Easter. The cool wave which was felt west of us did not reach here until the evening of March 22 and little wrapping was necessary on plants. March 21, the opening day of spring, we reveled in a shade tempera- ture of 68 degrees. This softened some cut flowers, but it was a veritable boon to the plantsmen, who were saved much expense in wrapping. Pot plant trade was unquestionably the heaviest Boston has ever known. Lilies sold out clean and more could have been disposed of. The average price was $12.50 per bud, but some went to $15, with inferior grades at $8 and $10. Giganteum was the favorite lily, but many fine Formosas were seen, also some multiflorums. Bambler roses came next in popularity, and there was quite a variety of them, including Tausendschon, Dorothy Perkins, Lady Gay, Hiawatha, Mrs. Flight, White Dorothy, American Pillar and several other sorts. The baby ramblers were in demand and there was also a large sale of hybrid perpetuals, also teas, such as Lady Hillingdon, and several polyan- thas, such as Mignonette. Azaleas seemed to be rather overdone. Whites were especially hard to move. They were, however, well flowered. Bougain- villeas were offered in all sizes and sold well; so did acaci&s and ericas. Hmall pots of the latter were in demand. Genistas, as usual, were sold in large quantities, but in them dealers had con- siderable waste,, as they do not stand long in a store. Bulbous plants were heavily sold. Murillo tulips and Vic- toria and Golden Spur narcissi were leaders in this class. Quite a few cycla- mens appeared and sold well. In astil- bes the varieties Gladstone and Queen Alexandra were most in demand. Some fine white marguerites appeared. Small pots of Mrs. Sander sold well. While the plantsmen had a first-class Easter, it can hardly be said with truth that it was the best ever with cut flowers. Boses did not make any ad- vance in, price; in fact, some varieties were hard to move at normal rates. The newer sorts sold the best and the call for white was better than had been anticipated.

With beautiful weather for the last three days, the Easter business was as good as ever, and in some cases even exceeded all previous sitles for that day, both in the plant and the cut flower line. On Saturday and on Easter morning the retailers had a tremendous rush. The delivery with autos and wagons was kept up until after mid- night on Saturday and late Sunday afternoon. The northern cut flowers were flne, with the exception of Easter lilies; those grown here were much better and naturally sold more quickly and at better prices. Club Meeting. The New Orleans Horticultural So- ciety recently held the most interest- ing and enthusiastic meeting of the year at Eolb's German Tavern. Presi- dent Herman Doescher was in the chair and Secretary C. E. Panter at his desk. It was decided to pay the full amount of $100 for the society's four shares of stock of the Southern States Fair. The site for it has been purchased and the plans have been drawn. Judging from the interest shown all over the south and even in some of the South Anier- ican countries, the fair promises to be a highly successful one. One of the ST. LOUIS, MO.

From now on, the society will meet in the Progressive Union building, where a spacious and attractive meet- ing room has been permanently rented. The society will endeavor to have many interesting features at future meetings, such as lectures by members and others, with occasional displays of plants, cut flowers, etc. For the opening feature at the new meeting room it was ar- ranged to have the president of the parking commission, Dr. Joseph Holt, deliver an address on the rules and reg- ulations of the parking commission concerning the planting and replacing of trees on the public streets of the city. On account of the greater suit- ableness of the society's new quarters, the social features will play a more prominent part than heretofore. It was unanimously voted that a letter of thanks be sent to Conrad Kolb for his generosity in permitting the flo- rists to have the meeting room for so many years gratis.

SCRIM'S, FLORIST OTTAWA, CANADA showed some fine Easter lilies, including four different types — the Creole, a home-grown product; Harrisii, Formosa and giganteum. With the exception of the last named, all were in bud and flower. Harry Papworth spoke inter- estingly on the merits and demerits of the lilies shown, explaining the supe- riority of the Creole type, of which thousands of bulbs are now grown for the nursery company exclusively. The bulbs of these lilies are free from dis- ease and are forced without trouble even for so early an Easter as this year. The specimens of Hydrangea Otaksa could not be surpassed in flower and color. The entire display created a sensation. Dan Newsham, having charge of a part of the establishment of his father, J. A. Newsham, exhibited a beautiful Calla Elliottiana in bloom, which was greatly admired. A vote of thanks was tendered to the exhibitors. Various Notes.

The retailers were favored with ex- ceptionally fine weather for Easter, which increased the volume of business to just double their expectations. Pot jdants had a heavy demand. Spiraeas sold better this Easter than last. Pans of daffodils, tulips and other bulbous stock sold well. Corsage bouquets seemed to have an exceptionally heavy demand, as the weather was fine and everybody was out enjoying new Easter suits. Lilies sold fast and there were some florists who had to turn down orders for them, as they had sold out early and no" more were to be had. Roses had the heaviest call in the cut flower line, Kil- larneys taking the lead. Carnations sold well. Cut bulbous stock sold only up to the expectation. The call for potted roses, ramblers, etc., was fine, but people here, as a general rule, do not care to pay over $~) for Easter flow- ers, which makes the call for larger plants limited. Various Notes. The city was visited with a heavy wind Sunday evening. Although little damage was done, several greenhouses report that the wind blew out a few lights of glass. .T.

Page, Des Moines. la.; Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O. Thirty-first annual convention at Cleveland, Jnne 24 to 26. 1913. Seedsmen in general report an in- creased call for gladioli this season, both from florists and the public. Counter trade is beginning to open. In Philadelphia, New York and Boston the business is ahead of last year at this date. Thad Smith has purchased an in- terest in the Griffith & Co. Implement & Seed House, at Paola, Kan., and will aid Charles Griffith in the management of the business. The Everett Seed Co., of Atlanta, Ga., which added a garden seed department last January, has already found it neces- sary to enlarge its store at 29 West Alabama street, in order to provide room for the development of the new depart- ment. The four-story warehouse of the Wal- dron Seed Co., Waterloo, Neb., burned March 18, entailing a loss of $75,000, with insurance about $60,000. None of the other warehouses in the town were in particular danger from this fire, al- though it was quite spectacular. A TORNADO passed about three-quar- ters of a mile west of Waterloo, Neb., about five o'clock Easter afternoon, doing considerable damage. The build- ings on a farm belonging to the J. C Robinson Seed Co. were destroyed and slight damage done to two other places' belonging to the company. The California seed growers would like some of the rain that has been fall- ing so copiously in other sections in the last week. The Californians could use some ten inches to excellent advantage and without it are not quite sure where they will get oflf. Crops are growing well, but the soil is moist for only about a foot. The William A. Davis Seed Co., re- cently incorporated at Bozeman, Mont., will make a specialty of the growing of seed peas and grain. The capital stock is $25,000. William A. Davis is presi- dent and general manager. B. C. Parker, also a seedsman of experience, is vice-president, and E. I. Renstrom is secretary. Both Mr. Davis and Mr, Parker are convinced that conditions in Montana make it a desirable state for growing peas for seeds. -TO THB TRADB- HENRY METTE, Quedlinboi^ Gennany "^■^^■^"^^" (Established in 1787) Orow«r and Sacporter on tbe very Iarr**t ■oale 4>f all CHOICE VEGETABLE, FLOWER and FARM SEEDS ■p«oialtl«8t Bawia, Bceta.

The canners' business is becoming of constantly increasing importance and several of the wholesale seedsmen are devoting a considerable part of their attention to it. A canner frequently buys more seeds in a season than does a fairly prosperous seed store. STOPPING THE FBEE SEEDS. We note in The Review for March 20 the reference to "Those Free Seeds," which to a certain extent crit- icises the seedsmen for quoting ordinary varieties of seed, etc., to the Depart- ment of Agriculture for the free seed distribution, nnd we think the reason the seedsmen quote the government is amply covered by the old saying, "If we don 't get it some one else will ; " and naturally they all want a finger in the pie.

United States seedsmen would not quote the department they would buy^ the seed from foreign countries. It seemed to the writer at the time, and he is still of the same opinion, that such a threat would bear little weight, if made. We question if the quantity of seed which the United States De- partment of Agriculture would purchase from foreign growers would amount to more than the orders placed with them by the American seed trade, and if the .^onerican Seed Trade Association would make a resolution and stand by it, on about the following lines, we believe the free seed distribution would soon stop; and that is, have a resolu- tion to the effect that the members of the American Seed Trade Association would not offer to the Department of Agriculture any ordinary varieties of seed and furthermore that the members of the American Seed Trade Associa- tion would not place any orders, con- tract or otherwise, with American or foreign seedsmen and seed growers who quoted seed to the Department of Agri- culture. We believe under those cir- cumstances the American, also foreign, growers would stand by their customers and turn down Uncle Sam, and it might be worthy of consideration.

"What we want is orders," said a successful New York seedsman to The Review reporter recently. "We do not care for an enormous circulation of our catalogues among people who may or who may not become buyers. We have good seeds, good bulbs and good plants. We wish to demonstrate this. Having done so, we will get repeat orders. Therefore I offer special bargains — real bargains — in my retail advertisements. The customer who sends me $1, or $20, for one of these special bargain lots in the spring is the best possible pros- pect for business when I send him my catalogue in the fall.

It pays to follow up these bargain-buyers. But the advertised offer must be a real bar- gain in value as well as price to catch the initial order and to capture repeat orders when the fall catalogue comes to hand. I recall one case where the owner of a handsome estate bought a bargain lot of cannas through an ad- vertisement, and on receipt of the fall catalogue sent in orders amounting to $70. And these orders have been com- ing in ever since. It is this kind of advertising and this kind of catalogue work that pays." C. A. M.

While the Easter of 191.3 was a bless- injj; financially, it was not smooth sail- ing all the time. Among the growers, especially those who grow Easter lilies, it was a matter of strenuous pushing; among the wholesalers, with the ever- increasing shipping trade, it also meant incessant hustle, and most of the retail- ers worked through Friday and Satur- day night, so that the end was near at hand by noon on Easter Sunday, at which time little or nothing of any con- sequence was left unsold. Weather con- ditions, up to and including Thursday, were ideal, being fairly warm, with plenty of sunshine. On Friday, from sun- rise to sunset, a disagreeable wind, ac- comi>anied by snow, kept the shoppers at home. On Saturday the sun again put in an appearance ami, even though it was cool, business was rushing. This dark sjtell also kejjt back stock which otherwise would have been fit to sell. This Easter again proved to be a plant day, with the call for Harrisii, both cut and in pots, somewhat on the decline. In cut flowers the main call was for violets and spring stock, such as sweet peas and the various bulbous lines. Gooil roses were scarce and the supply of carnations was just about equal to the demand. Several local growers of carnations came into crop just about the opening of Lent and the consequence was that the crop was gone before tHe extra demand was at hand. Various Notes. At the store of J.

We sold out clean and could have sold more violets and sweet peas if they could have been got on short notice." The A. F. Kellner Co. did a tremen- dous business and had to crowd all the church decorations into one day, Sat- urday. As the thermometers registered below freezing, it was a case of pack all plants, which, it is needless to say, did not help matters any in trying to finish up at a respectable hour. The Fox Point Floral Co. had a good supply of cut fiowers in the novelty line for Easter. The results of their first chance at growing Easter lilies were so^ encouraging this season that they will' go into that line more heavily another season. The Heitman-Oestreicher Co. reports a liberal cut of fine carnations for the last two weeks. Victory, with them, is far more satisfactory than Beacon. William Schmitz, at Thirty-second avenue and Burnham street, had a large batch of Von Sion daffodils just right for the Easter rush, and the report was that they sold at sight. The Holton & Hunkel Co. reports trade conditions quite satisfactory for Easter. They had a large batch of pot plants, which cleaned up in good shape. They were a little shy on their famous high-grade Killarney and White Kil- larney roses, for which they have gained considerable reputation. They also reported a shortage on violets. Gust Rusch & Co. refused to take or- ders for Easter lilies, either pot plants or cut flowers, after Thursday, as the supply in this locality was rather lim- ited. They also experienced a shortage on Richmond roses. They had an extra heavy call for violets and sweet peas. They report about twice as much busi- ness done as last Easter, and they cleaned up by Sunday noon. The C. C. Pollworth Co. reported busi- ness conditions fine. The firm has a large supply of cut flowers and pot plants of fine quality at the Wauwatosa plant, which were quickly disposed of. Their lily plants were of exceptionally fine quality this year. E. O.

Will 6-year-old grape vines, such as Niagara, Moore's Early and Delaware, do well in holes dug 3x4 feetf I have also put into these holes two wheel- barrow loads of well rotted cow manure. What should be done to a vine which has hard, rough lumps on the roots f Would lime help the case any! E. L. The holes 3x4 should be ample. Be sure to cut the vines back quite hard; do not leave over two or three eyes on the previous year's wood. Do not allow the manure to come in direct con- tact with the roots; mix it thoroughly with the soil before using. It is a com- mon error to put a thick layer of manure directly below the roots. Noth- ing could be worse for the vines, or, for that matter, any other plants. Cut off the roots affected as you describe. Some lime, lime rubble or old 'plaster will be good to use to improve such plants. Some bone meal is excellent to add to the soil for grape vines. C.

THAT the Horseshoe Brand Gi- ganteum fields in Japan are the finest lily fields anywhere in the World? THAT they are owned and oper- ated by the largest and strongest association of lily bulb producers known ? THAT these bulbs are disbudded very carefully in the fields of Japan, before the buds are half developed ? THAT by this procedure the main strength of the plant is reserved in the bulb ? THAT such bulbs will give larger and better flowers, more of them, with better keeping qualities, than the other kind? THAT they cost you very little more, if any, than common brands — though they are worth much more than they cost? THAT by buying Horseshoe Brand Giganteum you are en- couraging the production of bet- ter lily bulbs and helping your- self at the same time? • THAT you can only buy Horse- shoe Brand Giganteum from us — no other firm has these bulbs for sale? THAT if you order early you will have a delivery near home, as we deliver in twelve different cities throughout the United States? This saving in freight is consid- erable.

'^f^in.^^W^i?y^^^^m^f^i?i.'^i^(*^(*^.^*^(^^.>^^ i Pacific Coast DepartmentI Oroville, Cal. — Mrs. Minnie Summers has opened a flower store at 50.'{ Meyers street. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. Just on the eve of Easter there is every indication that the prices of all stock will be well maintained and that the only shortage will be in lilies. The early date, combined with the unusually cold weather, has held back the Easter lilies too long and many of them did not make the market. Those growers who did make it will reap a good harvest and they deserve it. Roses were never better than now. Carna- tions are good and there is a greater variety of plants than usual. Bulbous stock is not only plentiful, but good and of great variety. Spring flowers are perfect and there are fine cuts of iris, forget-me-nots, stocks and other kinds. Orchids are not plentiful, and more good cattleyas could have been handled. Greens are plentiful and good. At Budolph Fisher's. The name of Rudolph Fisher and Freesia Purity had so long been asso- ciated in my mind that it was with special pleasure I received an invita- tion from him to call and see his free- sias. "We have something better than Purity, ' ' he said. And he doubtless has — several things, but not in suffi- cient quantity to give to the trade as yet. The famous freesia grower has about ten acres of land, part of the world-famed "Lucky" Baldwin ranch, a few miles from the old mission town of San Gabriel. The outdoor crop has suff"ered somewhat from frost, but the majority of the bulbs are in the ten 75-foot greenhouses which were moved from the older place at Santa Anita. Freesia Purity is now too well known to need any introduction here, and Mr. Fisher has been working along the lines of a larger flower, absolutely pure white, with good substance to the petals. Many of the seedlings now flowering have these attributes, but a good deal of selection and propagation has to be done yet. One splenciid form, in particular, had a spike eight inches long, with magnificent flowers, and is surely a promising thing. Others are the purest snow white, without a stain of color of any kind, but some of these have not quite enough substance to suit the critical wishes of Air. and Mrs. Fisher. For here it should be men- tioned that Mrs. Fisher takes an active part in the hybridizing and selecting, and has a keen appreciation of the value of varieties. Besides the whites, there are a great number of colored varieties, a good self yellow being one of those aimed at. Some of the later crosses along this line come near filling the bill, and there are hundreds of showy and beautiful pinks, reds and shades of orange. Then there are some that are perfectly double, others that are semi-double, and a large number of extremely promising striped and blotched kinds. Mr. Fisher has built a fine new resi- dence for himself on the tract and intends shortly to erect more glass. Mrs. Fisher and daughter will start on an eastern trip shortly, their son help- ing in the growing end of the business. Various Notes. The formal opening of the new retail store of Howard & Smith took place March 15 and was an unqualified suc- cess. The great floor space was prettily grouped with plants of a quality seldom excelled, including some that were novelties to this town. Schizanthus Wisetonensis, while not new by any means, has not often been seen in such fine order, and there were magnificent plants of Kalmia latifolia, perfectly grown and flowered; also good azaleas, palms and ferns and some excellent plants of Phalsenopsis amabilis. There was a continuous stream of customers and visitors all day long and until late in the evening, every lady or gentleman entering being presented with a suit- able souvenir. The H. N. Gage Co. has been han- dling immense quantities of rooted car- nation cuttings in all the popular varie- ties at the store. A good idea con- THE NOVELTY OF THE SEASON "RAMONA" THE NEW RED CHEROKEE ROSE This sensational and magnificent new climbing rose occurred as a sport from the well- known Pink Cherokee (Rosa Slnlca, var. Anemone). It Is a stronger and more rampant grower than Its parent, and produces during the spring and early summer months flowers In such profusion as to entirely cover the plant; in autumn there is a secondary crop of bloom. The flowers are much larger than either the pink or white forms, with brilliant golden-yellow stamens and broad petals of a glorious carmine-crimson color; an unusual shade, wonderfully striking and efCective; the foliage is absolutely mildew-proof, a rich, glossy green, so bright that It appears as though varnished. The life-like illustration in our advertisement in The Review of February 20th, showing blooms and foliage natural size, pictures its beauty stronger than mere words. The original sport occurred on the nurseries of Messrs. Dleterlch & Turner, at Monte- bello, California. They, realizing its value and great beauty, propagated over one hundred thousand plants, from whom we acquired the entire stock. This Is indicative of our faith In its value, and its coming popularity Is attested by the fact that we have already booked orders for many thousands of plants, hence we feel that we are safe in stating that "RAMONA" will have the largest flrst season's sale of any new rose ever ottered to the American trade. •RAMONA" /v will be of special value as a garden rose to the entire Pacific Coast, the Southwestern, Gulf and South Atlantic States; it will prove hardy as far north as Philadelphia. For planting on pergolas, pillars, porches, etc.. It is a rose of unique and beautiful effect; In addition. It makes an elegant hedge plant If properly trained and pruned, affording a relief from the stereotyped privet hedges, with the added value of a rich display of color. We are offering plants of "RAMONA" at the following prices, cash with order: In lots less than one hundred: From 2-Inch pots, 35 cents each, $3.50 per dozen; from 3-inch pots, SO cents each, $5.00 per dozen; from 6-inch pots, $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. In lots of one hundred to five hundred: From 2-tnch pots^ $20.00 per one hundred; from 3-inch pots, $30.00; from 6-inch pots, $60.00. In lots of five hundred to one thousand: From 2-lnch pots, $125.00 per thousand; from 3-lnch pots, $150.00 per thousand. Parties desiring to list "Ramona" can be supplied by us with copies of the colored Plate shown in The Review of February 20th, at the rate of $3.60 per hundred, $30.00 per thousand; larger quantities at special rates.

Many thousands have been sold in this way. The funeral of the late Madame Ross, reputed the most wealthy woman in southern California, called for an im- mense amount of floral work. From the J. "W.

Among the many fine floral pieces noted at Morris Goldenson's last week was a splendid harp of violets and En- chantress carnations, with a base of Beauty roses. Mr. Goldenson reports an extremely busy time. G. Boss! & Co. report fine business since their opening. B. S. Short, formerly of San Diego and more recently of this city, bought several acres at Montebello some time ago and is considering going into rose growing there or at San Gabriel, where he also has holdings. He will probably erect some glass. A. Kakuda, representing the Yoko- hama Nursery Co., of Yokohama and New York, was in town last week. The annual report of the San Diego park commissioners contains a eulogis- tic reference to the ability of John Morley, superintendent of parks there, and also an able and practical report by Mr. Morley on what has to be done in the city parks. The report shows [Continued on page 76.] SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. With Easter close upon us, the pros- pects for good business are excellent. Stock is fairly abundant and most of the stores are busy getting in a full supply. While there is not a surplus of cut flowers, there is a fair supply of carnations. Considerable export business is being done in these flowers and the prices are good. Boses are not too plentiful, but some extra fine stock is on hand. Callas are in good demand and quite a number are finding their way to the stores. The cut supply of lilies is pretty good. In spite of all the prophesying about a shortage of pot plants, there appears to be an abundance of excellent plants of most seasonable varieties. On the morning of March 19 we had three inches of snow, which is not in accord with our usual Easter weather. Various Notes. The Burns Floral Co., in addition to a good supply of seasonable flowers for Easter, had on display • some notable specimens of cyclamens and obconicas. The Butler Florists this year are con- fining their efforts to one store. They have all the stock they have room for and pronounce pre-Easter business first-class. The H. Harrington Co. has done an exceptionally large wholesale business for Easter. The firm has a fine display of Lady Gay, Dorothy Perkins and oth- er rambler roses. Violets are good and are selling as fast as received, while the cut of valley and orchids has been excellently timed to meet the Easter sales. Mrs. L. W, McCoy has found it neces- sary to use an adjoining store for a stock joom, and has on hand a fine display of pot plants. Spiraeas, lilacs, azaleas and hydrangeas are here in abundance and show considerable cul- tural skill. Among the noticeable fea- tures are some tree peonies in bloom, showing the usual diversity of colors common to these lovely plants. Bosaia Bros, have, as usual, an im- mense stock of flowers for Easter, This Pays To Pacific Coast Florists: What stock have yoD for sale to the trade? Is it moving as it should ? No?

From their own plant they are now receiving a fine cut of roses, notable among which are their Maids and Bichmonds, showing that A. E. Buxton has not lost his skill as a rose grower. They have on display fine specimens of rambler roses in the different varieties, besides well flowered wistarias, a large supply of azaleas, hyacinths, etc. Miss Bisdon, on Union street, has her store packed full of seasonable stock. Some specimen roses she had on display will prove to be money- makers. The Crescent Flower Shop is well supplied with Easter flowers. They are installing an electric fountain in their window as a special Easter feature. The Paris Florist has, as usual, a large supply of Easter lilies, which, with other stock, make the store par- ticularly attractive. They have ac- quired additional store room on Third" avenue and, with an augmented staff for the store, are prepared to do a large business. [Oontlnoed on pace 78.] POETIiAND, ORE. The Market.

Cut flowers were plen- tiful, roses, carnations and lilacs having the first call. Violets, valley and orchids moved well, with no advance in prices. The shipping trade was brisk. It started early in the week, long-distance parcel post facilitating matters considerably. Out-of-town florists were heavy callers for stock, but the retail trade used most of the local supply. A decided change in the weather, with snow flurries and the mercury below freezing, checked the stock somewhat during the week and also the customers. Saturday was the banner day and taxed the forces to their utmost. Various Notes. Webb Bandall, representing A. L. Bandall Co., is in the city and reports business satisfactory. Ben Yentis, of Morton Grove, 111., has taken charge of the carnation section of the Martin & Forbes Co. E. K. C. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. As we draw near to Easter, every- thing is assuming a holiday appearance around the stores. Flowers are plenti- ful enough, with the possible exception of Easter lilies. These were brought forward rapidly during the warm weather in January and February and many crops are over at this time. The prices asked by the growers range from $2.50 to $3.50 per dozen, and for the pot-grown stock from $10 to $15 per dozen. While some were contracted for at lower prices than these early in the month, the quotations given are what they are considered worth at present. In carnations there seems to be a tendency among some growers to put their stock in pickle until the last mo- ment and wait for a better figure than would be otherwise obtainable. Eoses are rather scarce and are bringing good prices. Violets are plentiful and move slowly. DaflFodils are stiffening in price. Freesias are scarcer and of poorer quality. Valley is cleaned up nicely. Orchids remain the same as they have been for some weeks. Bulb- ous stock in general is getting more plentiful, with the exception of narcissi, and they are about over for the season. There is an abundance of pot stock and of fancy baskets of all kinds except lilies. Shipping orders are good. Various Notes. The Mayflower Floral Co. has opened a neat retail establishment at 33 Powell street. It is under the management of F. H. Higgins, for several vears with the Hackel Floral Co. Symacopulos Bros., of Oakland, have sold their Broadway store in that town to W. H. Forrest, who was for many years in business in San Francisco. The Valmar Floral Co. has opened a new store at 6 Valencia street. The Department of Horticulture of the Panama-Pacific International Expo- sition has announced that the creator of the finest unnamed new rose exhibited at the exposition in 1915 will be given as a trophy a cup valued at $1,000, in addition to the award made by the committee aj)pointed by the board of directors to name the rose.

In a large illustrated ad in a leading local newspaper he an- nounced a two days' exhibition of Easter stock, on Saturday and Palm Sunday. He extended a cordial invi- tation • to the public and stated that nothing would be sold during that time. A conservative estimate placed the at- tendance at 8,000, and Sam Goldring, the genial superintendent, says he never saw a more appreciative crowd. The stock was in prime condition and in- cluded practically everything from or- chids to pansies of exquisite markings. The new rose houses came in for a large share of admiration. The newest thing in tulips. Yellow Murillo, is a taker. In buildings, a concrete storage house for hardy stock is the latest; it is so arranged that a lean-to slat house will be built for summering the large stock of orchids. Mr. Danker has fifty acres of ex- cellent land that is available for nurs- ery purposes and the nucleus of the nursery has already been formed. The property, being situated on the state road, has a fine frontage in full view of the many passers-by, and cannot fail to be attractive. Mr. Danker is is- suing a neat general catalogue, in line with his artistic tastes. M. Salt Lake City. TJtali— The flower business of C. 8.

DID YOU INVESTIGATE SHAWYER 7 DID YOU KNOW- That the New York Florists' Club awarded it ninety-one points srrowincr in the benches, more than it scored it as a cut flower on the exhibition table? Its true Rose-pink color persists even when Killamey and other pinks are wretchedly pale? That no matter how strong the growth, the bud is always perfect? That while the bud is full enough to admit of its being a splendid summer flowering Rose, it will open just as free in mid-winter and is a rapid grower? If you know these things we most likely have your order. If you don't know them you should get acquainted with the facts of the case. Price. $30 00 per hundred : $250 00 per thousand.

JuA 76 LOS ANQELES NOTES. rOontlnued from pave C2.] that Mr, Morley has a grasp of the situation in the southern city that speaks well, not only for his executive siill, but also for his knowledge of the plants he is handling and their specific requirements culturally. It would be a good thing if every city in the Union had such a man at the head of park affairs, one who knows what is wanted, knows the climatic difficulties and op- portunities and can so easily describe them. San Diego is fortunate, indeed, in obtaining the services of such a man as John Morley has shown himself to be. Staiger & Mundwiler are busy with decorative work. Their stock of ken- tias in all sizes is good and they find them exceedingly useful. At the Huntington estate, at San Marino, Beaumontia grandiflora is flow- ering freely outdoors, in spite of the cold winter, and is beautiful. Solandra guttata, though badly hit, is breaking up freely and will soon be in good shape again. The outdoor cyclamens were untouched and are masses of bloom. In the orchid houses a fine lot of Cat- tleya Schroederae and various phalsenop- sis are making a good show, while the beautiful Medinilla magnifica is a sight long to be remembered. The Japanese garden is bright with azaleas, double peach, andromeda and other plants, and is a lasting tribute to William Hert- rich's skill. With the added work at the new hotel grounds, Mr. Hertrich is a busy man, but never too busy to wel- come interested visitors and show them the beauties of this really wonderful place. William Felgate, gardener for Dr. Barlow, at Sierra Madre, is planning considerable landscape work along the lines of naturalizing shrubs and flower- ing plants. He has a fine chance in this pretty little place and is surely making the most of it. The herbaceous borders here are fine, while Mr. Pel- gate 's skill as a vegetable grower is too well known to need any praise here. George M. Garland, of Des Plaines, 111., left for home March 16. H. B. Bichards. Fort Dodge, la. — C. De Mester, fore- man for the last two years for the North Floral Co., has associated himself with W. M. Colwell, a well known busi- ness man of this city, in the formation of a new firm which will bear the name of the Park Floral Co. The firm will build greenhouses on what is known as the McNamara property, opposite Oak- land and Corpus Christi cemeteries, and will also have extensive gardens, with strawberries as one of the specialties.

[Oontinned from page 63.] Sandahl & Sons have their Easter lilies in good shape, from their plant at Benton Junction. Their supply of the usual Easter stock is large and fully up to the average in quality. They report the nursery business as being much improved, compared with that of last season at this time. The Hollywood Gardens have an ex- ceptionally fine display of spiraeas and hydrangeas. They have a good supply of lUies, roses, carnations and violets, and their made-up baskets are bound to be good sellers. The Eosery is making a good show of Hiawatha and other roses. The firm has some fine specimens of spiraea and the carnations, roses and lilies are excellent. The Woodlawn Flower Shop has a beautiful combination of Genista fra- grans and azaleas on display. Some baby ramblers, well grown and flow- ered, are also pretty. They have a large supply of obconicas, good lilies and other flowers. T. E. Hopkins, of Kirkland, has just imported a carload of fine hybrid rho- dodendrons for his nursery trade. Miss A. M. Wagner, well known in the flower trade here, is now at the store of the H. Harrington Co., on Fourth avenue. J. Lussier, of the Fremont Floral Co., was successful in getting all his gigan- teums in for Easter. Frank Bell, at Brighton, got most of his in, while other growers met with varying suc- cess and some with absolute failure. The wholesale price varied from 15 cents to 22% cents. Quite a number have been shipped out of town, which will help the retail price. In most stores the charge is 35 cents per bloom, but a better result is obtained by sell- ing at a fixed price per plant. Tickets are selling fast for the Flo- rists ' Club 's dance, to be held April 2, and indications point to a successful affair. Miss Josephine Hoefinger is assisting in the store of the Paris Florist. Miss Frieda Ousterhout, well known to the trade in the middle west, is also work- ing at this store. C. Hoffmeister will resume posses- sion of his plant at Madison street April 1. Mrs. L. W. McCoy hereafter will conduct her growing department at South Park only. The wholesale houses report that they were obliged to refuse numbers of order* for lack of stock to supply them. With the cold weather that im- mediately preceded Easter, they had to use additional packing to protect their plants and cut flowers. T. W. TO QET ROOM we are compelled to make the follow- ing sacrifices. If you can use any of this stock, get your order in while the assortment is complete. 28 at 100 rate; 280 at lOOO rate. GERANIUMS— S.

ENCHANTRESS SUPREME |HE best Sport of Enchantress op to date, possessing all the vUror and freedom that dis- tinguish 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 Enchantress seem to have been lost in this Sport, and a trial of four years' duration convinces us of its great value.

[Ooncladed from pace 14.] are rare or uncommon are to be found, and the able superintendent, Charles Sander, one of the best gardeners in America, and most unassuming of men, is ever pleased to see interested visit- ors. Azaleas are a great feature here. The big specimen plants filling several pits do not flower until May and June, but many seedlings of flowering size, some of them beautiful sorts, are to be seen, and quantities of seedling rhodo- dendrons and azaleas in pans or flats just pricked out are to be seen. Olivias, or imantophyllums, fill one house and comprise all the Veitchian hybrids as well as many home raised seedlings. Nerines, or Guernsey lilies^ are also raised from seed in quantities. Mr. Sander states that he failed at first in raising nerines and clivias by covering the seeds, which would rot. Since he left the seeds uncovered he gets a fine germination. Amaryllises also are raised here in quantity. Other interest- ing plants noted were Pancratium fra- grans, Coelogyne cristata, finely flowered Phaius grandifolius and Plumbago rosea. W. N.

There was a perceptible dullness in the trade during April, but business im- proved gradually and the sale of cut flowers and plants was generally satis- factory the latter part of the month and early in May. In and out of town, weddings and funerals helped to dis- pose of the home-grown as well as the shipped stock. Gladioli, Creole lilies, sweet peas, mignonette, etc., are in constant demand and supplied by the local growers. Shasta daisies are mak- ing their first appearance, but the out- door roses cannot be sold over the counter, and as a rule are fit only for cheap work. A number of weddings are scheduled for the next month, and sev- eral orders have been placed. Land- scape gardeners are busy with exten- sion projects on the outskirts of the city and the trade naturally benefits by the increased activities in suburban de- velopment. Various Notes. William Nelson is sending in some fine sweet peas, Creole lilies and other cut flowers, and his choice stock is al- ways in demand. Charles Eble showed his first pure white gladioli, which were admired by the trade »s well as the public. In ad- dition to his PhcBnix Boebelenii, he added Cocos plumosa for the wholesale trade, and finds it a paying proposition. U. J. Virgin reported satisfactory busi- ness. He has a fine stock of Gladiolus America and Augusta and the demand for them is up to his expectations. Peter Chopin's store is always up-to- date and in consequence new custom- ers are being added constantly. Mrs. Carrie Rehm's place is always a- center of attraction, owing to the large frontage and splendidly Kept plants in and outdoors. R. E. Portsmouth, O. — Louise Koenig, of 1238 Second street, lost in the recent flood her greenhouse and entire stock of plants, and suffered heavy damage by having the rear of her dwelling, sheds and outbuildings washed away.

Show prizes on snapdragons have but little value at present. There are no rules governing the judging, and a tail-end variety in one show can easily be a winner in another show. This fact has and will keep out exhibitors, as noted in the recent shows where only two or three entries were made. SIL- VER PINK is not only the better of two varieties but of all of the varieties to date. Its beautiful color and splen- did habit of growth stands pre-emi- nently alone. There is no other variety that approaches it, and now that it will reproduce in color and habit from seed with only a few pleasing sports, it can be extensively grown at small cost. Wo have customers that got as many as 900 plants from one packet of seed, which reduces the cost to a minimum. Many varieties • of snapdragon now offered show side growth near the Of course, this can be removed at the expense of a bare stem. Silver Pink MARKETED IN FULL DRESS Side growth gracefully tapers from one inch at the flower to three and four inches at base of stem, which adds sufficient green for a well finished bouquet. Buy Silver Pink and have all that is good in snapdragons. Silver Pink is now growing in a number of foreign countries, carried there by its record and influence, which are safe, sane leaders. A good article is always imitated even to the use of its name. But the beautiful light, silvery shade of pink alone will hold Silver Pink in position. Other pink shades will have a limited use, but, as in the carnation, the one that pleases the public will remain. Recall the Lawson and all kindred shades of carna- tions. They have passed and the buyer is still calling for the light, daybreak shades. The buyer, governed by the public, rules the' situation and will ever do so. Don't spend your time and money trying to break this law. The people buy what they want, hence the great popularity of SILVER PINK — the pioneer commercial snapdragon.

The weather has been unusually warm for this time of the year; the thermom- eters registered 90 degrees several days. There has been some funeral work and the general trade is much better than heretofore. Stock is plentiful, carna- tions being a glut on the market. Good roses find a steady market. Beauties are moving slowly. Sweet peas and snapdragons are a trifle scarce. Out- door valley has put in an appearance. Callas and Easter lilies are plentiful. The recent warm weather has caused quite a stir in the bedding plant busi- ness and, from all indications, this will be a good year in that line. Various Notes. John Bertermann may be seen al- most any of these fine days, breaking all speed records in his new Premier auto on East Washington street. Mrs. Homer Wiegand, who has been in a critical condition at the Methodist hospital, is much improved. ' The Pahud Floral Co. suffered much inconvenience from the loss of a box- wood shipment, which was lost in transit. Pearl James, formerly with the Ber- termann Bros. Co., and Fred Kiel, for- merly with Alfred Brandt, have taken positions with A. Wiegand & Sons. Frank Farney, of the M. Eice Co., spent a few days with the trade here last week. William Langstaff, the veteran florist at the Deaf and Dumb Institute, has been seriously ill at his home. The last reports, however, indicated some improvement. J. A. E. Haugh, of Anderson, and J. E. Brown, of Shelbyville, were in the city last week. Alfred Brandt has become a chicken fancier. He intends to raise only pedi- greed stock. All hands at Baur & Steinkamp's have been busy planting carnations dur- ing the last week. H. L. W. Caldwell, N. J. — William Aubry is having built a $5,000 greenhouse on his property in west Caldwell. Lafayette, Ind. — F. Dorner & Sons Co., which has two ranges of houses, is preparing to make important changes in the older place this summer. Five houses will come down and four new ones, each 30x300, will go up. The place now has two heating plants. These will be consolidated and a new trap system put in, the same as the one that works so well in the newer range. JULIUS ROEHR8 CO. RUTHERFORD, N.J.

Trade was fair last week, with some increase over the preceding week. Fu- neral work was much heavier than it has been for some time. Decorations for dinners, weddings, etc., also showed an increase over last week. Stock of nearly all kinds is plentiful. Carna- tions are cheap, selling at $1 to $3 per hundred. Most of the growers are throwing some of their carnations out, so as to make room for spring stock; this will cause a shortage in home- grown stock. The blooms are becom- ing small on account of the hot weather. Boses are bringing a good price and some splendid stock is on the market; the growers seem to have a good crop on and are able to dispose of them easily. The roses are selling at $3 to $8 per hundred. Richmonds are in heavy demand. Bedding stock is moving fast and everybody is busy with the orders in that line. Various Notes. W. J. Barnes was exceedingly busy last week with funeral work and deco- rations. He furnished one of the larg- est decorations of the season. Samuel Murray reports that business is good, but nothing extraordinary. Ta- ble decorations take the lead. I. M. Bayersdorfer was in the city last week, representing H. Bayersdor- fer & Co. W. J. B. Bhineheck, N. T. — Alvah Bishop will operate James Coon's greenhouses next year, growing violets.

JOHN BAUSCHER,!MC!!ia{iss«t,Freeport, III. The Rorists' Review May 8. 1913. PITTSBUEOH. The Market. Pittsburgh began last week with a much needed rain, followed by cooler weather with some frost, but the week closed with a beautiful warm day, the thermometers registering 80 degrees on Saturday. The wholesale houses were in trouble all the week, as stock shortened up, especially carnations, and there was considerable difficulty in filling orders. There was a shortage in about every- thing except Beauties and cattleyas, of which a big cut has been coming in. With the crop of carnations somewhat off, the outlook for Mothers ' day does not seem to be particularly good. Various Notes. The Schenley conservatories tur- nished the decorations for the Mayor Magee banquet, given on Saturday, May 3. Samuel Cape is one of the enterpris- ing young men in the business. Some time ago he purchased the building on the corner of Peun avenue and Fortieth street, which he has put into shape for an up-to-date flower shop. He opened the new shop on Saturday, May 3. A. E. McCoyd, who has been conduct- ing a flower stand in the Fifth avenue arcade, discontinued it May 1. The stand has been rented, however, and will be continued by Franks & Gal- lagher, who are doing business under the name of the Philadelphia Florists. It is reported that there are some matrimonial notices due from some of Randolph & McClements' young ladies, but I am not permitted to mention names at present. The E. C. Ludwig baseball team has been cleaning up everything among the amateurs. Now, if there are any flo- rist teams anywhere in this vicinity, let Manager De Forest Ludwig hear from you. Ernest Fischer, of the firm of Fischer & Scheick, Sharon, Pa., died April 29, after a long illness. Further particu- lars will be found in this week 's obit- uary column. Clarke.

The Florists^ Review 87 lilioiGe Plants for Imnieilialfi A wonderful clock at Cur Saal, in Interlachen, Switzerland, one of the most famous and biggest tourist hotels of the world. The biggest wonder of nature the world has ever seen. See that clock? It is made of flowers! It has hands and shows the time! See that little house in the rear, also made of flowers? There is hidden a mechanism that strikes the quarter, half and the hour. What do you think this clock is made of? It is made of plants of brilliancy — mostly of dwarf begonias, the Vernon type, short va- riety, pink and red. The head gar- dener, the creator of this clock, of this famous, world-wide known hotel at In- terlachen, Switzerland, has been offered a fortune by American and other mil- lionaires of the world, to make them a clock similar to- this, but he declined the offers, saying that he was hired by ARAUCARIA EXCEL8A OUR SPECIALTY, April, 1912, Im- portation, 514. 5%. 6-inch pots, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 tiers. 14, 16, 18, 20, 25, 30 to 35 inches high, 75c, $1.00, $1.25 to $1.50.

I was fortunate enough, during my visit there, to obtain from the head gardener, the creator of this clock, a supply of seed and stock plants of those beautiful varieties of begonias to raise a sufficient crop of about 50,000 young plants in 2*4, 3 and 4-inch pots for you to use in a similar clock, carpet bed or other outside work. A bed of these begonias, pink, the Erfordii, or the bright red improved Vernon, is a joy forever. Constant bloomers, stay al- ways short and bushy, the hot rays of the sun have no bad effect on them. They can be grown in a sunny or shady place.

I am building a greenhouse 2()x60, ten feet high to the ridge and six feet to the eaves. The north wall is built of cement and lumber. The south side and the ends have two feet of cement wall and the rest is glass. Kindly tell me how to heat the house with steam, from a cast-iron boiler, stating the num- ber and size of pipes needetl.

We often have outside temperatures of 15 to 20 degrees below zero for a day or two. Our location is west central Iowa. If my idea is not practical, kindly suggest the cheapest plan. E. S. F. The temiierature desired is not stated, but if the house is to be used for roses or other crops which require a night temperature of (50 degrees, a consider- able increase will be necessary in the radiation mentioned. Instead of run- ning a flow and return pipe under each of the four benches, it is suggested that a 2-inch flow be run overhead, about two feet below the ridge, and that at the end of the house two IVi-inch re- turns be run in each direction and car- ried back to the boiler on the plates. In addition to this, there should be two IVi-inch returns under each of the four benches. These should be connected with a ]^/> inch pipe, which .should be taken off and run in each direction from the overhead flow, at a point over the ends of the benches. In case 50 degrees or a little less will answer in the coldest weather, it can be secured by means of eight 1^-inch re- turns, in addition to the 2-inch over- head flow pipe. If solid beds are used, the returns can be on the walls, or a part of them can be in the walks. FROM HOT WATER TO STEAM. W^iil you kindly let your heating c-x l»ert pass on the following question? My house is 34x70 and sixteen feet high to the ridge, with two feet of glass in the east wall and a solid con- crete wall on the west side. The house runs north and south. The south end is glass; the north end abuts agaiust my dwelling. There are six rooms in the dwelling, all heated by a hot water boiler situated in the basement.

Weather conditions the last week resembled those of midsummer and in turn rushed crops along in good shape, but all in all business was good. The demand for red carnations the last fortnight has been ahead of the supply. With this warm spell folks get anxious and the call for bedding stock, al- though it is still a little early in this locality to plant out soft-wooded stock, is more of a nuisance than a benefit. Local carnation specialists were busy as bees rushing their stock into the field last week. A warm rain May 5 was welcome. Club Meeting. The Florists' Club has not accom- plished a great deal for some time past and the time has come when it can help materially in the matter of accommodations and premium list for the annual state fair. In the past, con- ditions were such that the florists in general took no interest in the fair at all, leaving it to a few who made it their business to be there regularly, re- sulting in a rather one-sided affair. With a comparatively new manage- ment of the State Board of Agricul- ture and the aid of F. Cranefield, of Madison, secretary of the Wisconsin State Horticultural Society, new life has entered into the project. ' ' Mr. Cranefield called recently on the club's treasurer, James Livingstone, to help revise the premium list on all indoor floricultural exhibita. The revised list was taken up at the last club meeting and, with a few exceptions, it was ap- proved. As the list now reads the in- ducements for professional growers should and undoubtedly will bring out many good exhibits. In view of this fact some members thought, judg- ing by arrangements made in past years, there would not be enough room to display exhibits to full advantage. Finally it was voted to send a com- mittee of three to Madison to confer with Mr. Cranefield and see what can be accomplished to better conditions. President Leidiger appointed James Livingstone, C. C. PoUworth and H. V. Hunkel to serve on this committee. While little may be accomplished in aiding this year's fair, the present in- terest will help to further the cause in the future. The club voted to hold the annual picnic this summer and the entertain- ment committee, consisting of Walter Halliday, Nic Zweifel and Gust Eusch, with the latter as chairman, was di- rected to proceed with the prelimi- naries.

Eaton, Indiana _ Mention The Bevlew when yon wrlf . WASHINGTON. The Market. The supply of stock in practically all lines has shortened up materially since last week and this is particularly so in roses and carnations, but there are enough of these to meet all demands. Spencer sweet peas have made their ap- pearance in fair supply and are meet- ing with a ready sale. Outdoor valley has been quite plentiful during the week, but has been cleaned up well. Some good indoor peonies were to be seen. The demand for peonies is poor, as they interfere with the sale of shrubbery. Bulbous stock is at an end, although some few tulips are still to be had. Calla lilies are still in good supply and demand; the supply of Baster lilies has shortened up a great deal. Lupines still remain scarce, as the local crop seems to have been somewhat of a failure. The first dah- lias of the season have made their ap- pearance. Various Notes. William F. Gude has been chosen as head of the business men's committee of one hundred, which will seek the $300,000 necessary for the erection of the new Emergency hospital, and this is to be raised in twelve days. This committee is subdivided into groups of ten hustlers each, with a captain at the head of each group. Z. D. Blacki- stone is one of the captains and other florists are doing valiant work to bring about the erection of the hospital. Final arrangements have been made for the second annual rose exhibition, to be held May 20 and 21 in the Ma- sonic Temple, Brookland, D. C, by the Brookland Citizens' Association. The judges of exhibits will be Leslie C. Eeynolds, superintendent of the Na- tional Botanic Gardens; Belle C. Saunders, of the Department of Agri- culture, and Dr. John A. Parker. Adolphus Gude and Fred H. Kramer will go to Germany this summer with the Alinute Men of the United States, who will participate in the unveiling of a monument at Leipsic. Mr. Gude holds the rank of captain and regi- mental paymaster, and Mr. Kramer is captain and regimental commissary. Adolph Bowdler is busy receiving the congratulations of his friends; it's a boy and arrived last week. (>ude Bros.

BSLER, Sec'y, Saddle River.N.Jb 112 The Flor Review mavs, ms OINOINNATI. The Gateway to the South. The market underwent a sudden change last week, being dull one dajr and fairly good the next morning. Busi- ness started slowly April 28. The next day it picked up considerably and by the middle of the week it was good. This increased demand comes both from local retailers and out-of-town buyers. Carnations were principally affected by the change. The supply has decreased considerably, partly on ac- count of natural changes, but probably due also to a holding back of the stock for Mothers' day. The prices are again back to a high point. The rose supply is still a trifle larger than is necessary for requirements. This is true even of American Beauties; now and then some of the stock must be sac- rificed in order to move it. The great bulk of it, however, yields a fair re- turn when it is in first-class condition. The supply of callas and Easter lil- ies continues large. The latter are sell- ing better than a week ago. Some fine outdoor tulips are coming in. Only a little forced valley is being cut these days, but the supply of outdoor valley is large and includes some good oflEer- ings. Sweet peas are in fairly good supply. The good ones, particularly the home-grown ones, find a ready call. Snapdragons, too, sell nicely. Other offerings include stocks, alyssum, iris, miniature gladioli, etc. There is an adequate supply of green goods. Various Notes. After C. E. Critchell returned from Minneapolis last week he stated that the committees there had all conven- tion affairs so well in hand that if the meeting were to open tomorrow they would be ready. -fMr. Critchell 's en- thusiasm is 80 great that he declares the convention will be one of the best the organization has ever had. Joseph Goldman, of Middletown, was a heavy buyer of choice stock last week for use at the Sorg funeral at that place. George Klotter has been cutting some fine parrot tulips. W. Frank & Sons, of Portland, Ind., have been sending some extraordinarily fine Kaiserin roses to L. H. Kyrk. E. G. Gillett says this season has been absolutely the best he has ever had in wirework. The demand has been especially strong for baskets and wreaths. A. C. Heckman, Jr., and Alex. Osten- darp, of the Cincinnati Cut Flower Ex- change, are enthusiastic over the excel- lent quality of a lot of eastern sphag- num they received last week. Frank Farney, representing the M. Rice Co., and Milton Alexander, repre- senting Lion & Co., were in the city re- C61ltlT* Mrs! W. H. Guadinger, of Cynthiana, Ky., was in the city last week, buying bedding stock. C. E. Critchell has been getting in fine outdoor tulips and German iris from Tom Windram. The Hill-Heller Co. cleaned up a lot of about 1,200 rose plants at a special sale on Saturday, May 3. A. Sunderbruch 's Sons had the 50- year anniversary decoration at the Pogue stores. . — -^ John Evans, of Richmond, Ind., was in the city recently. C. H. H. - ,-' , How the'^ ^ ■; ; ^^^;^^ Irondequoit Growers Came to Build L & B Iron Frame Houses AN INTERESTING BIT OF DEVELOPMENT HISTORY THE other day several of our salesmen were lunching to- gether with the Sales Manager. I came in late, but just in time to catch some most interesting facts about how the leading growers in Irondequoit jumped from our Pipe Frame to the 40-foot Iron Frame construction. It seems that Del Titus first started buying our Pipe Frame houses a good many years ago. J. H. West & Sons, who had five of the same construction, started the Iron Frame ball rolling when they jumped from Pipe Frame houses 28 feet wide to a 72-foot Iron Framer 125 feet long, divided into three compartments. Fred Metcalfe and P. B. Pengally were the first to build the 40-foot Iron Framers. The interesting thing about Mr. Pengally's order was that he bad already signed up for a Pipe Frame house, but on visiting, with Mr. Metcalfe, the Burt Olney Canning Co.'s range at Albion, N. Y., he promptly changed his mind in favor of the Iron Frame. A similar case was C. H. Metcalfe and his brother Fred. C. H. had or- dered a Pipe Frame house, but when the materials for his brother's Iron Frame began to arrive he was so thoroughly convinced of its superi- ority that he promptly canceled the Pipe Frame order and contracted for an Iron Framer 40 x 133 feet. And then there is Anderson & Merrill. They were entirely satis- fled with their L & B Pipe Frame house and bad made up their minds to order a dup]^ate ; but, after see- ing J. H. West & Sons' and several others, they flopped over to the Iron Frame construction. The same day that Anderson & Merrill changed their minds, our friend C. W. Cole also "saw the great light " and signed up for one 40x141 feet. After the lunch was over and we were walking back to the office, our Boston man said he felt confident that " in five years' time the market growers wouldn't think of building anything but the best Iron Frame construction money could buy. The ice in the Eastern section," he said, " was broken when Alexander Por- ter put up his big Iron Framer, 50 X 450 feet, for growing tomatoes." We have just issued a supplement to our Iron Frame Catalogue, show- ing half a dozen or more splendid, big double -page illustrations of some of these houses. Send for it.

The FV^rists' Review 113 The Disastrous Storms and Cyclones of this Spring, which caused such heavy damage to the trade in almost all parts of the country, should no doubt teach greenhouse builders some lessons. While seemingly nothing can resist a cyclone when it strikes with full force, some styles of construction stood the heavy storms while others under the same con- ditions have collapsed. We recommend in our construction to use purlin posts set solid in concrete to withstand the pressure, and the purlins safely tied down to prevent the suction of the storm — and no loss has been reported to us on any of these houses with exception of one case where the storm picked up part of a shed from a distance and threw it on the houses, demolishing that part which was struck. ' We further recommend the Dietsch short-roof construction, which has no purlin poets, but the corrugated-like surface which these houses present to the storm seems to offset the force of pressure and suction and no loss has been reported to us whatever. At the same time please note that our construction, which has stood the test so well, is inex- pensive. A. DIETSCH CO.
