If the tailer secures a sufficient num- ber of permanent and profitable patrons he builds up his busi- ness. Let me define the concept "patron Everybody has a patron. At one time I had a couple of men digging a drain on my farm. A friend called to see me, and we were discussing the ques- tion of salesmanship. I said to him, "Every man has something to sell." To this he did not agree. "What, for instance," he asked, "have those men to sell who are digging the ditch for yout" I replied that they were selling their services to me. One of them did not have the goods I wanted, so that he did not continue to give me a service. He did not give me his right "Q plus Q"— quantity plus quality. He violated the law of thor- oughness and paid the pen- alty in the loss of his posi- tion. I 111 ri III II lie III II r when it came to the sordid thing of business the buyer had to beware. The modern version of this is "Let the seller beware." If you want the per- manent patron, don't do him up. The science of business is the science of rendering service — he profits most who serves best. To have the perma- nent patron one must give three things — quality always; right quantity, and mode of conduct of his business. Q plus Q plus M equals service. Service a Staple. When every employee awakens to the fact that the sale of service is governed by the same law as that which influences the price of flowers — quantity plus qual- ity of the goods delivered; when he realizes that, he will not be losing his eye- sight looking for more pay, or fostering spite against an unappreciative boss. Let us consider the con- cept "profltable." There is a big difference between a storekeeper and a merchant. Keep your eye on the profits. The man who cuts the throat of a transaction and spills the life blood of the profits is not a salesman. He is a storekeeper — an order taker. It is lamentable that ninety-five per cent of the men who set sail on the sea of retail merchandising are destined to go down on tne rock of failure. Many retailers are making less today than the travelers who call on them and load them up with goods. Keeping Customers. Now we come to the concept "per- manent." A house is known by the customers it keeps — not by those it gets. There may be no profit on the SHARP SHOTS FROM SHELDON. Business building: is the art of secur- ing profitable and permanent patrons. A house is known by the customers it keeps — not by those it gets, Advertisingr is the fire under the boil- ers of business. The vfSigging tongrue of a satisfied patron is the best advertisement in the world. Salesmanship is the power to persuade people to purchase products at a profit. Some men talk a man into buying^ and then talk him out of it again. There are too many people in the world who lack terminal facilities. That in a sense is true. As society is organized today, we must have money. There are four ways to get it — steal it, beg it, inherit it, or earn it. The latter is the only cer- tain way. If all the retail florists and clerks in the country were to die tonight, what would become of the people in the morning? This em- phasizes the great service the retailer renders. The money you get is to pay for service. If the service is little, there will be little pay. Big services generate the heat of larger pay. There are millions of men losing their eyesight looking for dividends. If they looked toward rendering Q plus Q plus M they would be doing a much greater service to the commu- nity. So if anyone asks in the future why you are in business, tell him that you are in business to ren- der a service to the commu- nity. The next concept is * * mak- ing." Emerson tells us that if a man makes a better mouse trap than his neigh- bor the world will make a beaten path to his door. That is hardly correct. Few will tear down the tall tim- ber to get to your door un- less you tell the people about the mouse trap — your business. Success in business means the mak- ing of profitable patrons. The wagging tongue of a satisfied patron is the best advertisement in the world. The wagging tongue of a dis- satisfied patron is the worst advertise- ment m the world. The florist who gives quality plus quantity and Who conducts his business properly is the lucky one. People will go blocks out of their way to buy his .product.

Noticing the reference to delphiniums in the article on "The Hardy Peren- nial Garden" in The Review of July 9, I wish to ask what treatment the del- phiniums should receive from Septem- ber on through the winter? Last sea- son I grew some fine plants in the greenhouse and left them there for the winter. No fire was kept in the win- ter and the house was not used. It was simply a coldframe. I lost the plants. What should bo the winter treatment of these plants and others of the same nature! Where can they best be win- tered here, in the climate of southern Michigan? E. S. T. Delphiniums, such as were described iu a recent issue of The Review, are sufficiently hardy to withstand a winter minimum of 20 to 25 degrees below zero; at least, they have withstood such temperatures with me, and this is probably about as cold as you will get Emblem of the Order of the Eastern Star. it. If there is a good snow protection, delphiniums are about as hardy as any perennials we have. After the first t-rop of flowers has passed, these should 1)6 cut back and a second crop will then come up for August and Septem- ber flowering. Any transplanting should 1)0 done from the middle to the end of October. Just before the ground freezes up, give your plants a top- dressing of well rotted manure. If your ( limate is extremely severe, supplement this with a further light mulch of hav or strawy litter. A thick mulch is more likely to be harmful than helpful. Delphiniums should not have wet feet iu winter, or they will rot. Give them land where water will not stand. If, for any reason, you are unable to winter perennials successfully out- doors, lift them and plant them' closely in a coldframe and, when the ground is frozen hard, cover with dry leaves; tljen place the sashes over them. The floor of a cold cellar, covered with coarse sand, can be used to pack away many perennials of doubtful hardiness, such as incarvilleas, rehmannias, knip- hofias. Anemone Japonica, Helianthus multiflorus plenus, pompon ehrvsanthe- inums, montbretias, etc. In a sandy, ]>orous soil even these stand a good (leal of cold — much more than when planted in a retentive, davev loam. C. W. THE ILLINOIS EQUIPMENT. The equipment for floriculture at the TTniversity of Illinois now consists of eight greenhouses, covering an area of 28,000 square feet, which is devoted to experimental and instructional work. In addition to this, there is a service building 35x95 feet, of two stories and a basement. Because of the backing of the Illinois State Florists' Association, the state legislature not only has provided this equipment but has made the following appropriatious for its maintenance and operation. July, 1907, to July, 1909 $15,000.00 July, 1909, to July, 1911 16,000.00 July, 1911, to July, 1913 16,000.00 July, 1913, to July, 1915 16,000.00 Newton, la. — Mrs. James Lister has sold the City Greenhouses to C. S. Simp- son, of Davenport. W. F. Behring will have charge of the plant. 12 The Florists' Review A I <.iM I. r.ti I. ii!^ . I l~.| nllll-l - .1- ']!■■ AO'ihl !i.i' I- I 1 1.

OPEN LElTCl^y^" DEADER^ SNAPP'S RELATIONS WANTED. I saw a news item from Salina, Kan., in The Keview for July 30, relating to the death of a stranger there and I write you so that you can print this and perhaps locate his relations. The man 's name was Alfred H. Snapp. He was about 65 years of age. Years ago he worked in Chicago, for a florist named Fuller. He was born in New York, near Poughkeepsie, and has a brother and sis- ter living somewhere near there. He had worked for me, in Pine Bluflf, Ark., several times in the last ten years. He had been in bad health for several years and had spells of the blues and would go away, but would come back and tell me he was going to stay till he died. We are badly in need of rain. All out- door stock is suffering. We have our carnations planted and the stock looks fine, despite the weather. Last week we opened a store in the new Hotel Pine. We will handle all. cut flowers from there, and plants from the greenhouse. Business is dull, but we hope for an improvement as soon as the weather gets cooler. Last week the thermometer registered 104% degrees in the shade. A. A. Harper. NOTES ON OUTDOOR PLANTS, An inquiry recently appeared in The Review as to why some plants of Am- pelopsis quinquefolia, commonly known as "Virginia creeper or American ivy, do not cling to walls, while others do. There are two varieties of this vine, one having no tendrils, while the other is abundantly supplied with them. I do not know that the plants can be dis- tinguished by appearance of leaf. Am- pelopsis Engelmanni is a seedling from A. quinquefolia, with larger foliage and vigorous habit; it is in every way better than the original form and clings tenaciously. Amorphophallus Rivieri, a strange bulb, producing highly ornamental foli- age and a flower of most disgusting odor, I supposed was from the tropics, but the root is perfectly hardy, some- times remaining dormant in the ground a full year and then coming up. I have found the spotted calla, Rich- ardia albo-maculata, and also R. Mrs. Roosevelt, entirely hardy in my Indi- ana climate, plants coming up in the following spring from bulbs missed in digging. I have not found Tritoma Pfitzeru satisfactorily hardy. When the plants have been left outside, even if mulched, their corms have usually been so in- jured by frost as to give an unsatis- factory growth. Gladiolus Chicago White has this sea- son again demonstrated its value. Bulbs planted April 18 began furnishing spikes for shipment July 7, and now, July 28, are practically through blooming. Au- gusta bulbs of the same size, planted alongside at the same date, gave their first spikes Jyly 28. I have grown Chi- cago White for five years. Pink Au- gusta, sent out a few years ago with a strong recommendation, has not proved to have any merit outside with us. We have not tried it under glass. E. Y. Teas. FROM THE OTHER SIDE. There are two sides to every question, as some keen philosopher remarked many centuries ago, and it is always of value as well as of interest to know what the other side has to say. In reply to the article headed "Where They Fall," in The Review for July 23, an insecticide manufacturer says: "That the insecticide manufacturers are ' being pilloried by the government, ' is truly stated, buir that the manufac- turers bring the troubles upon them- selves is not a complete statement of the case. If you could stand in the manufacturers' shoes for a few hours, you would find that we also are quite up a tree; for if we apply to the insecticide board for advice, they will render us an opinion which is not bind- ing and, if followed, may lead the man- ufacturers into court, as has been the case before. "Your suggestion that manufacturers had better lower the claims made on labels, to get within the range of prac- tical manufacturing variations, would not lead us out of the wilderness, for the reason that the insecticide law states specifically that we must name the exact percentage of the active and inert ingredients, giving us the privi- lege of naming the active ingredients contained and the total inert ingredi- ents. Now, should we overestimate the active ingredients and then attempt to balance by naming a lesser amount of inert ingredients, we would soon be hauled up for misbranding. "The great trouble is that, whereas most manufacturers are observing the spirit of the law, the insecticide board is endeavoring to enforce the law from a technical standpoint. Many products are sold which remain on the shelves for a year or two and there is possible evaporation, but the government will not take this into consideration, al- though, on the other hand, the product may be just as effective as it was when first put out. "We have a case on hand at the present time with one of our products, which the government, on analyzing, claims to have found to contain .25 per cent less of an ingredient than the label calls for. This product, before it was shipped out, was analyzed by no less than four chemists, one of them being one of the leading analytical chemists in New York city. These chemists are prepared to testify that their analyses were correct. We have submitted our side to the government, but, of course, do not know what the outcome will be. ' ' What is necessary is that the insec- ticide manufacturers get together for their own protection, though there seems to be no disposition in that direction. There is no question that many of the cases which have gone by default, had they been tried out in the courts, would have resulted in defeat for the govern- ment. All will agree that manufacturers breaking the laws should be prosecuted, but persecuting them for the sake of making a showing in one or another de- partment of the government is certainly not the intent of the law. "The fact that non-vult is pleaded and small fines are paid is due to the enormous expenses attached to contest- ing government suits. Only the other day we were discussing the pure food and insecticide problems with a firm of leading manufacturing chemists in this state and they informed us that they were interested in fighting Dr. Wiley on one of the 'pure food' cases, which was finally decided in the higher courts in favor of the manufacturers, but that it cost them over $200,000 to contest the case, experts being brought from abroad to bear out the contentions of the manu- facturers. Of course, the manufactur- ing concern referred to was an ex- tremely wealthy one. Yet, although the manufacturing chemists we refer to are a big concern, they were compelled to withdraw an article of their own from the market simply because they were not prepared to spend the money that would be involved in a lawsuit with the government, and that is the position today of insecticide manufacturers also. "You will probably agree with me from your own experience that practi- cal experiments on the part of growers have disproved and are constantly dis- proving much of the expert advice com- ing from the Agricultural Department; but the department is content to rest on its expert theories and is seldom found to be .disposed to place much faith in demonstrations by practical men.

Will you kindly advise me as to the time to take the best bud of. the varie- ties of chrysanthemums on the enclosed listt I suppose there are a few on this list of which I can take the bud at the same time, but I want good exhibition blooms. Last year I had five varieties, but could not plant my benches before September, and the result was inferior and small blooms. E. W. B. The following dates are what we con- sider the earliest that a bud should be taken in this section. Just what dif- ference there is between the conditions here and at Cleveland I cannot say, but 1 should not imagine it was much. Mrs. Wm. Duckham August 20 Chieftain September 10 Mary Donnellan September 1 Pioneer September 1 Mrs. Wm. Arnold August 5 Susie r August 10 Miss Clara Banghart. August 15 Maud Dean September 10 Wm. Turner August 25 Lady Hopetonn August 15 Dr. Enguebard September 15 and later Golden Jones September 1 to 10 Amorlta August 25 Golden King August 2S Golden Wedding August 25 Naomah August 20 Mrs. Kelly August 25 Dolly Dimple September 10 or later Golden Eagle September 1 to 10 E. W. B. will note a considerable dif- ference in the dates of some varieties, but that is partly accounted for by the fact that they are pretty late varieties. It is impossible to fix an arbitrary date that will apply to all seasons alike and to all varieties and all conditions under which plants are being handled. A grower, for instance, who propagates his stock in January will, in many cases, the first week in August be running what is known as a third crown, where- as a grower who propagates his stock in April, or early in May, perhaps, does not have a single bud yet showing on his plants. In such a case, where I would recommend, for instance, August 5 as the best date for Mrs. W. Arnold, if the plants had the requisite age and had produced one or two buds, it may be practically safe; whereas, if the bud showing by August 5 was the first bud the plant had produced, it is problemat- ical whether it would produce a perfect fiower or not. I am, of course, in the dark as to when E. W. B. propagated the plants and what condition they are in at this time. It is perfectly well understood among growers today that to get exhi- bition flowers one must have stock prop- agated from January to March to get the best results. Later propagated stock, while it will produce good flowers, will, as a rule, lack just the least fraction of size or depth to enable the grower to compete successfully with the flowers cut from plants that have been propa- gated early and kept growing steadily right along. R. W. B. says last year he did not get his plants benched until September; plants so treated cannot be expected to give good results, as by that time the growth should have been made, the bud taken and the energy of the plant diverted to the development of the fu- ture flowers. in the case of such varieties as Dr. Enguehard, which 1 have marked Sep- tember 15 and later, it does not neces- sarily follow that a bud showing earlier than this would not produce a good flow- er, but the average experience with En- guehard shows that a bud taken much earlier than this date results in a flower quite pale in color. Charles H. Totty. FEBTIUZEBS FOB MUMS. I would like to use liquid chicken manure on chrysanthemums after the bud has been taken. Kindly inform me if one part of manure to six parts of water would be sufficiently strong. Also, Peterson's Rainbow Sprinkler. if sixteen ounces of nitrate of soda, ten ounces of sulphate of potash and thirty-three ounces of acid phosphate could be used in alternation at the rate of one pound of mixture to fifty gallons of water. p q The only trouble with chicken manure IS that when fresh it is caustic and apt to burn the root hairs, which are the feeding fibers of the plant. The sug- gestion of one part to six of watef is all right if I understand it correctly— that IS one pail of the liquid in which the chicken fertilizer has been soaking to SIX pails of clear water. It is not neces- sary always to wait for the bud to show before feeding the plants. If they are strong and healthy they are greatly benefited by feeding earlier, if they have been planted seven or eight weeks in order to make them throw up a stronger bud. The old maxim not to feed till the bud shows is all twaddle. The expert grower watches over his plants and tries to keep them in perfect health from the first, feeding them as soon as his experience tells him they have ex- hausted most of the nutriment in the soil. A light soil "runs out" much more quickly than a heavy soil, as it washes away so quickly. A large per- centage of fertilizer washes through the benches anyway and is lost, but that we cannot help unless we all adopt the clever scheme of Poehlmann Bros. Co. and drain the walks into a reservoir to be used again. The chemical mixture suggested is all right, as it furnishes a complete fer- tilizer, in the usual acceptance of the term. Personally, I would use sulphate of ammonia in preference to nitrate of soda. My experiments under glass are all in favor of the sulphate, particularly when one is using other chemicals in conjunction with it. If the use of nitrate of soda on chrysanthemums is at all excessive, it will be noticed that warty growths will appear on the stems of the plants and the leaves will run small, and the plant, in fact, will get a serious check. A scientific friend tells me this is due to the denitrification of the soil; in other words, the excess of nitrogen has killed the nitrifying bac- teria present in the soil and the plant is unable to take up the feed. What- ever the explanation, the fact remains, as anyone may see for himself by ex- perimentation. Intensive cultivation, as practiced in a greenhouse in four or five inches of soil, is quite different from cultivation out in the open air, with natural condi- tions of heat and moisture and the broad bosom of mother earth to work on. Charles H. Totty. THE BAINBOW SPBINKLEB. A sprinkler that combines other qualities with its utility as a means of spraying lawns and shrubbery is the Eainbow sprinkler. Owing to its con- struction, this sprinkler shows a full rainbow and rainbow circle when con- ditions are favorable. The require- ments, says John Peterson, of Lake George, N. Y., whose photograph of the sprinkler in action is reproduced here- with, are sunshine, proper exposure and a good water supply — the stronger the pressure the better the rainbow. The sprinkler is attached to an ordinary garden hose, and needs only the extra attention to keep it in position to re- ceive the sun's rays so as to produce the rainbow effect. Fall Biver, Mass.— Chatterton War- burton says the more he sees of the Hadley rose the better he likes it. He has a rival to Killarney Brilliant and expects to see a new house planted with it for trial by a large grower near by. He will possibly have some blooms at the convention. 16 The Florists^ Review ■V-, Ar«usT ft. 1914. AFTER BENCHINO IS FINISHED. Reserving Plants for Vacancies. As soon as yoii have finished bench- ing your carnations, pot up some plants of each variety to replace those that may die here and there from one cause or another. .Just how many you will lose cannot be foretold, but we seldom fail to lose a few, and no doubt you have the same experience. Five per i-ent should be a liberal allowance for this purpose; in most cases the loss is one per cent or less. Put these into as small pots as are practical. You want them to become established as •juickly as possible, and the smaller the pot the more quickly will the plant be- I'ome potbound. Your principal loss will occur within the first four weeks after the plants are benched, and by that time the potted plants will be ready to set in where plants are missing. In case the plants have died of stem-rot, we sprinkle some hydrated lime on the soil wherever a plant is pulled up. This is usually effective in destroying the fungus, but if a second plant dies of the same disease, we take out the soil .ind replace it with new, to set the next ]>lant in. Handled in this way, the plants that are set in will be only a little behind those benched at the start and will give better results than when planted in from the field. Watering and Cultivating. After the first gooil watering you will gradually withhold the water from the roots, depending on the overhead spray- ing and damping the walks to keep the plants fresh until the roots have taken liold again. Light waterings will have to be given now and then in spots, where the soil dries out unevenly, but no heavy soaking should be given for a while, as the roots will take hold bet- ter when the soil is just moderately moist than when it is kept sodden. When the plants have taken hold and will stand up without extra spraying, you will likely find the soil in excellent <'ondition to work. Break up the crust that has formed on the surface and level it off so that a good watering may be given over the whole bed. After Ihat you will water only when the bed has dried out sufficiently to need it, al- lowing the soil to get well on the dry side before each watering. By work- ing the soil as soon after planting as it is in condition you will probably be able to destroy most of the young weed crop that usually follows the planting. This will not only save you much labor in weed pulling, but will also conserve the ]>lant food in the soil, as most weeds are heavy feeders. A Dusting of Lime. If your soil is inclined to be heavy, or if it is lack:./ig in potash, there may be a heavy scum of green on the sur- face, caused by the continuous syring- ing. In that case, you should dust hydrated lime over the soil before breaking it up. No harm will be done if you dust it over the plants as well; in fact, it will do them good by de- stroying any leaf -spot spores that may have developed while the atmosphere was kept in a humid condition. Many carnation growers make a practice of this, regardless of whether the soil is green or not. Others use Bordeaux, ap- plying it two or three times during the fall, with good results. Watch closely for any signs of leaf -spot or fairy ring. A. F. J. Baur. SHOULD PLANTS BE TOPPED? We now have our carnations set in benches from 3-inch pots. They are nice ])lants, averaging three shoots. Should these be trimmed or should we let them flower? W. D. M. If your plants are growing vigorous- ly and you can make good use of the blooms, there will be no harm in al- lowing them to bloom from now on. 1 really believe that it will tend to make your cut more continuous through the winter than if you kept the ]dants tojjped closely until September and then allowed them to come with a heavy crop. One must be governed somewhat by these things in deciding on the man- ner of handling his ])lants. One grower will try for an even cut throughout the season, while another will prefer to cut heavily at certain times at the ex- pense of the cut at other times. This must be governed almost entirely by the topping. A. F. J. B. A START IN SNAPDRAGONS. I have never grown snapdragons, but should like to try them. What temper- ature do. they require and will they do well in' partial shade? Would they grow in a house with sweet peas? Please give any information that would be helpful in growing snapdragons. F. E. S. Snapdragons succeed particularly well in a winter minimum temperature of 45 to 48 degrees, but could be grown with sweet peas, which should have 4r> degrees until buds show and ."iO degrees later. You must not attempt to grow them in even partial shade; the fullest sunlight is necessary. If you want plants for a shaded house, grow Aspara- gus Sprengeri and plumosus, ferns or some other foliage plants. For successful winter flowering, shal- low benches are the best, four inches of soil being sufficient. Plant out from .Much pots during August for flowers from October onward. These same plants will, if well cared for, bloom freely until the following July. Set the plants out 10x12 inches for win- ter flowering. Stake before they get too much grown. Kub off the side shoots from the flowering stems and. where too many shoots start from the base, reduce their number if fancy spikes are wanted. Either seedlings or rooted cuttings can be used. The for- mer possess more vigor, and if you get a good strain there will be few rogues. At this time, however, I would advise buying plants of some of the winter flowering varieties offered. Pink is far the best selling color; next to that, vellow and white. 0. W. 3C ac ac i BP Z^ i ^ SUGGESTIONS I t SEASONABLE ^ » m Heliotropes. Though some cuttings do not root easily in hot weather, there is no trou- ble in propagating heliotropes, and, if good plants are wanted, which will flower freely through the winter, cut- tings should be put in now, potted off as soon as rooted, and later planted out in a shallow bench, or grown along in pots which can be stood on a bench where the roots can be allowed to run through. Like many other plants, he- liotropes will grow freely but bloom sparsely in winter if given unlimited root run. Any left-over plants from spring sales, if potted on, plunge i i i i> S. ,T. Goddard, Pres. A. F. J. Baur, Soc y. Horseheads, N. Y.— Earl Shults has let the contract for a semi-iron-frame greenhouse, 18 x 50 feet, to the King Construction ('o. and expects to grow t' the good will of the people. It was an ugly blow to our seed mer- chants when the government gave its contract for seed to English firms. It seems as if the integrity of the home merchant were doubted. What is our seed trade going to do about it? If responsible firms did not care to take the orders the government had to give, on account of their agitation against free seed, they seem to have made a mistake. They forgot the public. For- eign seedsmen will make the most out of it and advertise it widely, and the ])ublic here will wonder, why did Uncle Sam do it? It leaves the door wide open to all kinds of harmful conjectures. Watchful waiting does not seem to have (lone, as far as the seedsman's troubles are concerned. In Union Is Strength. A union of horticultural interests would put a different aspect on this feature. The seedsmen could not make a wiser move, and for that matter all other branches of horticulture, than to join hands with the S. A. F. as a society. This great society is broad in scope, and it has charters made to suit exactly these purposes. The time is here to 22 The Florists^ Review AVGDST 6, 1914. combine; team work is what is needed. Horticulture does not produce multi- millionaires; our means are all moder- ate; so as individuals we do not amount to much, but we are strong in numbers. If we could only forget for once our special interests and feel more as a hor- ticulturist in the broadest sense of the word, we would then soon get together on a basis of mutual benefit. Of course, in numbers is where our power will be. Horticulture united will put everybody on a higher plane of life, from the hum- ble private gardener to the most exalted position in horticulture. All who go to Boston will have a chance to vote * affiliation either one way or the other. Other members who cannot be there and think favorably of affiliation, please send me a letter with just these words: "I am in favor of affiliation" — and your name. I will make the most of it. This holds good of any man in business, in any branch of horticulture, whether nurseryman, seedsman or private gardener — send me just those few words. The stronger the eflTort, the quicker the results. You don't need to be a member of the S. A. P. to show your sentiments toward affiliation. It may turn out to be the straw to show how the wind blows. Do it now. SECEETARY'S ANNOUNCEMENTS. Meeting of Chrysanthemum Society.

Members of the trade west, north or southwest of Chicago will use the Lake Shore-New York Central route to the Boston convention of the S. A. F. Following the action of the Chicago Florists' Club, at its March meeting, instructing its transportation commit- tee to select this route, it has been arranged that President Wirth, of the S. A. F., will leave Chicago, Sunday evening, August 16, on a special train over the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railroad. La Salle street sta- tion, at 8 p. m., with the Chicago Flo- rists' Club and others desirous of join- ing the convention party on the Presi- dent's Special. This train is due at Niagara Falls Monday noon at 12:04 o'clock and several hours will be spent there, the party leaving again at 3:50 p. m. the same day and due in Boston Tuesday, August 18, at 7:05 a. m. The fare from Cnicago to Boston and re- turn is $30, good for thirty days; berths Chicago to Boston, one way, lower, $5.50; upper, $4.40. The fore- going rates apply only to Boston and return. Many extended tours and side trips may be arranged returning on application to local transportation agents at equally low rates, including New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Thou- sand Islands, Hudson river, etc. All members of the S. A.

Maurice Fuld, who is known in con- nection with previous attempts to or- ganize dahlia growers, requests the pub- lication of the following notice over his signature: An inTitation is extended to every lover of dahlias to meet at a formal gathering of all American dahlia enthusiasts at Newport, R. I., on August 13, 1914, for the purpose of organizing the American Dahlia Society. This society will be founded for the purpose of promoting the Interest of the dahlia. It will endeavor to further its progress, establish a clear classification, encourage more public ex- hibitions and, last but not least.

Convention City Hotels |HE hotel committee for the Boston convention has sent out a circular letter containing the list of hotels which is here appended, with prices and other particulars. The committee has made comprehensive arrange- |-ments and in most cases can hold reservations until August 15. It will be best to write direct to the hotel for reservations, but the committee suggests that intending visitors send duplicate announce- ments to the office of the general secretary, 120 Boylston street, Boston, Boom 702, as a record, as it is the desire to help members in every way. Besides the hotels below, there are a number of other excellent family hotels in the vicinity of the garden and hall and innumerable first-class furnished rooming houses and reasonably priced restaurants. People intending to stay at Back Bay hotels, the Somerset, Nottingham, Thorndike, Westminster, Lenox, Victoria, Canterbury, Hemingway, Vendome or Carleton, or to look for furnished rooms, should leave trains via N. Y., N. H. & H. R. B. and Boston & Albany B. B. at the Back Bay stations of the roads, all others at the South Station terminal. Patrick Welch, 226 Devonshire street, Boston, is chairman of the hotel committee. The Copley Plaza hotel, in Copley Square, has been chosen as official head- quarters of the convention. It is one block from the Back Bay and Huntington avenue railroad stations. To reach this hotel, leave the train at the Back Bay station. Check your baggage to the Back Bay and Huntington avenue stations, as it will be transferred to and from the hotel without charge.

Moninger Co.. of Chicago/ This IS the fourth house in their range, all of which are devoted exclusively to growing carnations for the wholesale trade.

"War, or uo war, this week's issue of The Keview, a regular edition, all in the day's work, eats up 8,932 pounds of white paper — practically four and one-half tons. C. W. Johnson, Morgan Park, 111., secretary of the Chrysanthemum Society of America, has mailed to members the annual volume containing the report of the 1913 convention, lists of American and European varieties disseminated in the year, tabular record of the work of the seedling committees published in The Eeview from week to week during the season, list of members, scales for judging, and other data. You can say the summer is over. And that it has been a not half bad summer. With the arrival of August the green- house men are finishing the work of get- ting planted and snugged up for the new season, and the store men are busy with redecorating and the purchase of fixtures and requisites against the reawakening of the retail demand. Conditions might be Itetter than they are today, but, for flo- rists, they might be far worse. Tewksbury, Mass. — A. Roper is add- ing another large greenhouse at his range. WAE AND THE TRADE. What effect will the European war Itave on the business of florists in the United States? The probability is that general business in this country will be good so long as the big exporting na- tions of Europe are occui>ied with more urgent matters, and there never has been a time when florists did not get their opportunity to handle their part of whatever money general business activity put in circulation. But the efiFect of the war will be di- rect and quickly apparent in the matter of the supply of such trade articles as are imported. A large part of our flo- rists' supplies come from Germany and France. For the present these imports are suspended and there is no prospect of the early resumption of transporta- tion. A long conflict will mean a famine in retailers' requisites and a suspension of business for even thirty days will result in many shortages, for a large number of staple articles are brought to this country in small lots, the importers carrying no great stocks, but relying on the arrival of frequent shipments. An interruption of only a few weeks will see the present stocks cleaned up. The great quantities of material de- signed for the holiday trade are, for the most part, still in Europe; indeed, the iVench immortelles are still unharvest- ed. A war that lasts more than a few weeks will put America on its own re- sources for the approaching Christmas, insofar as florists' supplies are con- cerned. French bulbs are either in port or afloat. There should be no trouble on that score. But the Dutch bulbs for the most part still are in the exporters' warehouses. The call to arms has taken the young men, leaving only the old men and the women to finish cleaning and packing the crop. Then will come the tjuestion of transportation. At present the Holland-American line boats are running, but it seems impossible that the bulbs can get through on time un- less the war is settled within a few days,, which nobody dares hope. The supply of valley pips now in cold storage in this country would, under normal conditions, last until December or perhaps January. By not crowding the market it will be possible to stretch the supply over another couple of months, but after that the trade will have to get along without forced valley unless England raises the blockade of Hamburg. Even if the crop now ma- turing can be harvested by the few hands available, it will be impossible to put the new pips afloat so long as hos- tilities last. HONORABLE MENTION. Not a few subscribers save them- selves the bother of annual renewal bv sending The Eeview $2, $3, or some- times $5, instead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-two visits of the paper. Among those who have this week en- rolled themselves for more than one year in advance are: SKVKN YEARS. Coe, Asher .M., North Olmsted, O. THREE YEARS. Koenlg, Wm. J., Weehawken, N. J. TWO YEARS. Klenahs, Theo., La Crosse, Wis. Ruble, A. D., Indianapolis, Ind. Woerner, A., Siloam Springs, Ark. Walker Peony Farms, Hamorton, Pa. The Review stops coming when the subscription runs out. The new green notice with the last copy tells the story. Xo bills are run up; no duns sent. CHICAQO. The Market. During the last few days everyone has been too busy talking European war to have time for much business. The condition holds good in all lines; gen- eral business has been reduced by the excitement, but this is expected to wear off in a few days, when conditions will become normal. There is no appreciable change in the market. The supply of stock is ade- «iuate; there is no scarcity in any de- partment. Weather conditions have been unusually good, with the result that roses are of excellent quality. There has been some increase in the supply of AvdcsT 6, 1914.

Beauties as compared with last week; one or two growers are just coming in with nice crops from young plants. Stem and foliage are fine and the flow- ers are as large as can be expected at this time of year. Cool nights are re- sponsible for considerable mildew in the roses of growers who are careless about ventilation and heat. The principal change in the rose market is found in increased cuts of Killarney Brilliant. This novelty has been largely planted and most growers who are trying it now are cutting more -or less from the young stock. Not many are yet able to cut stems of much length, but the rose is well liked. Mrs. Eussell continues the best seller, however. Shawyer is well liked by the buyers and the receipts usually are quickly picked up. Bulgarie also is popular and seldom accumulates. Milady is much more abundant than it ever has been before at this time of year, for a number of growers planted it much more heavily this year than last, when it was on probation. Unfor- tunately, the cut comes at a time when there is little call for red roses. Carnations are of minor importance at present. Only a few _ indoor flowers now come in, but there are considerable quantities of field-grown stock. The demand is light. Instead of carnations, the buyers are asking for asters. Of these flowers there are great quantities, but the majority are extremely poor, because of the lack of rain. Really good asters are excellent property, but there is nothing in the market that is harder to move than the small, open-centered and short-stemmed stock. The daily re- ceipts run into big quantities and some of the wholesalers are finding it impos- sible to clean out at any price. The market is full of gladioli and prices are as low as they ever have been in this market, but the receipts do not prove as unwieldy as many ob- servers had expected they would be this year. Perhaps it is the dry weather that is holding back the anticipated heavy cuts, but thus far it has been pos- sible to sell everything of worth-while quality that has come in. True, there is a large quantity of mixed stock that has little value, but good America, King and Augusta still are selling in what GREENHOUSE WINDSTORM INSURANCE FLOHjAN D. WALLA££ mma serjs insurance exchange builoino Chicago Mfeutlun The Kertew wben joa write. should be a satisfactory fashion in view of last year's prices and the increase in plantings this year. Easter lilies are abundant and there has been a large increase in the supply of auratums. Bubrums also continue plentiful. The orchid supply is in only a few hands, but there is an abundance of stock and prices are low, considering the fine quality. Valley is not in large supply, but is equal to the demand. The green goods market is quiet, as it always is at this season, when cut flowers are plentiful and funeral work the chief demand. Various Notes. Chicago growers who use West "Vir- ginia smokeless coals and pay $2.10 freight are pleased with the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission published August 1, refusing the rail- roads permission to advance the rate five per cent, or 10% cents per ton. The advance, had it been granted, would have cost a dozen or more of the larger places anywhere from $300 to $3,000 per year, and all others in proportion. John Poehlmann says he thinks the war in Europe, should it prove pro- longed, will have little effect on Ameri- can florists, believing that general busi- ness will soon settle down and proceed as usual. The trade may be affected by the interruption of imports, especially of Dutch bulbs, valley pips and florists' supplies. GLADIOLI I can supply cut Gladioli now. E. E. STEWART BROOKLYN, - MICH. Mentlwi The BeTlcw whtn yon wrlfi H. N. Bruns says he sees little pros- pect of getting the new crop valley pips from Hamburg at the usual time and that he has, therefore, ceased selling cold storage stock, preferring to hold the quantity now on hand until he sees where the supply for his own forcing i» to be replenished. Miss Mattie C. Lindon, daughter oi' Mrs. Sarah Lindon, who does business as the Temple Floral Shop, at 108 Easr Fifty-first street, returned August ' from a vacation at Benton Harbor, Mich. Mrs. Lindon expects to open he- new store, at 828 East Forty-seventh street, about August 15.

The demand is not much better; a little business, enough generally for the best stock, with difficulty to dispose of the rest. Asters are the most im- portant flowers in the market. Some of them are extremely fine, but most of them are of medium grade. Prices are low on quantity lots where quality is not important. Gladioli are in heavy supply and it has taken special offers to find buyers for the surplus. Boses are in shorter supply, although the cool weather has helped their quality. The first new-crop Beauties have come. Easter lilies are quite scarce. There are few orchids in the market. Valley is in excess of requirements. The Effect of the War. The whole community has been stirred by the European war news that has come in over the cables with scant warning, spreading alarm everywhere. The immediate effect of the war on our business is marked. The great center of the florists' supply business of the country is in this city. The recalling of the ocean liners and steamships sail- ing from the German ports to New York has cut off the incoming supplies for the fall and winter. Cables were sent last week ordering that all goods ready be rushed off and later that these goods be shipped from a neutral port. The closing of all ports on the North sea is believed to end this chance of getting freight over for the present. The effect of the cutting off of im- ports, should it continue, is of interest. There are enough goods now here in practically all lines to satisfy the im- mediate demand. This, of course, can- BERGER BROS.

The French immortelles and the Austrian statice are not yet harvested. Should war continue they probably will be lost. The quantities of dried material pre- pared on the other side, for wreaths and other designs, cannot be duplicated here. Baskets, on the other hand, can and will be made here just as well as abroad, though the cost will be greater. Basket-making in Europe is often done after hours at home, or when other work is slack. Wages also are low. Here the baskets are made by men who receive excellent pay for their work, work that is a regular employment for men, not an extra for the whole family. Exactly what effect the changed con- ditions will have on the other supplies cannot be accurately foretold.

The daily receipts of gladioli here are already beyond computation.

John Hunter, with Burnett Bros., is back from two weeks' rest at Woodland beach, S. I. W. Barnwell is in the Adirondacks and Frank Muller at High- lands, N. Y. R. A. Johnstone, bookkeeper for the Kervan Co., with his family, returned July 27 from a two weeks' camping in Connecticut. L. Bonnot, under the title of Bonnot Bros., has had since January the sole management and ownership of this wholesale business. Mr. Bonnot has doubled his space and facilities and is prepared for a much larger shipping business than at any time since the firm was established, in 1902. A great many orders for flowers for the steamers which were to sail Satur- day and were held in New York harbor caused serious losses to many of the retail florists. The complaints were widespread and few of the leading firms escaped. There is no telling what the present week may develop. Herman Weiss, of 112 West Twenty- eighth street, will handle the stock of the Lone Oak Greenhouses, at Lone Oak, L. I., which were recently incorpo- rated for $100,000 by Duncan C. Arnold. William "Wincott, formerly manager of the Arnold estate, will be manager of the concern. During the convention of the Ameri- can Association of Park Superintend- ents, which will be held at Newburgh, N. Y., Augnist 24 to 27, the headquar- ters of the organization in this city will be at the Hotel Astor, The enter- tainment committee has provided for a visit to Mount Beacon, a boat trip down the Hudson, a luncheon at Arden, by courtesy of Mrs. E. H. Harriman, vis- its to Interstate park and to West Point, and an excursion by automobile through the Newburgh parks and the Tuxedo valley. August 11 to 14 the Railway Garden- ing Association will hold its eighth an- nual convention here, with headquar- ters at the Hotel Breslin. Trips to the Duke farms at Ocean Grove, N. J., and to Coney island are scheduled. Hitchings & Co. have completed J. W. Beall's iron-frame house, 61x108, at Hanover, Mass. Mr. Beall is a profes- sional architect, but has developed his florists' interests from a small begin- ning until they have become his voca- tion. W. R. Cobb, of the Lord & Burnham Co., is on his way home from Canada, where he arranged for an exhibit on the grounds of the National Exposition Co., at Toronto, for the great August horticultural exhibition. L. W. C. Tuthill has returned from Troy, O., where he attended the meet- ing of the committee appointed to pass on the tests of the new improvements which the Skinner Irrigation Co. will bring out this fall. Among those in the trade marooned in Europe are Mr. Russin, of Russin & Hanfling; Mr. Keller, of Reed & Keller, and Mrs. Jordan, bookkeeper for Wad- ley & Smythe. Harry A. Bunyard and wife are en- joying their summer at Patchogue, L. I. John Donaldson has made this beautiful town his pemifinent home and the latch- string always is out. J. Austin Shaw. SEEDLING PEBENNIAI.S. I am sowing the seed of delphinium, aquilegia, Bellis perennis, coreopsis, gail- lardia, iris, Shasta daisy, sweet william, tritoma, peony, poppy, primula, geum and nemesia, and want to advertise some of these plants for sale next spring from 21^ -inch pots. What is the best way to do this — to plant the seedlings in the pots as soon as they are large enough for potting and put them in a glassless coldframe over winter? I will cover the frame with cloth in place of glass, which will not exclude the light but keep out the snow. I will put the cloth on sashes made of plastering lath, but use no glass. I am entering the perennial plant business on a small scale and have no greenhouse at my disposal, so that I must make a start without one. F. T. W. You could winter the perennials in the way suggested, but, even in New Jersey, if you pot up the plants and give them merely a cloth covering, the frost' will break a large proportion of the pots. By using some of the better made paper pots this might be avoided, but the lat- ter are not so desirable as earthenware pots. If you decide to pot your plants this summer or early next fall, you should be able to protect them from frost.- If not, a better plan would be to prick the various seedlings into cold- frames, allow them to freeze firmly, then cover with dry leaves and later with board shutters or sashes. It will pay you to buy sufficient sashes to cover your frames. This will insure the leaves keeping dry, and when spring arrives the plants will be as fresh as when covered up. You could pot up the plants in spring if desired, but person- ally I would much prefer the plants from the frames to any which had been potted. While a few of the plants named could be carried in 2 1/^ -inch pots, such sorts as coreopsis, gaillardia, sweet william, Shasta daisy, etc., would be simply starved in such small receptacles. Nemesia, which you mention, is an an- nual, and should not be sown before February or March. All the perennials named should winter well outdoors with you, if given a light mulch of leaves or pine needles after the ground freezes. C. W. POINSETTIAS IN BENCHES. Kindly tell us through your columns the. proper date for benching poinsettia plants to get good bracts and not too long stems. We are limited for hea^ room in' the house, one bench having but three to four feet, the other bench more. Also, what is the proper date to fill pans of poinsettias? J. P. K. If you want good bracts on your poin- settias, the young plants should be benched at once. If they are now in 2% -inch or 3-inch pots and not over six inches in height, the head room you men- tion should suffice. Pans of poinsettias can be made up from now until the middle of Septem- ber. Those made up will grow moder- ately tall and should go into 8-inch or 10-inch pans; smaller sizes do not con- tain sufficient compost to support them. The pans made up late are dwarf and considerably in demand, but the bracts are, of course, small. The early made up pans will produce large bracts, and careful watering and a suitable temper- ature will insure foliage down to the pans. C. W.

LOUIS. The Market. There is little to say regarding the local wholesale market last week, as the buyers show little activity. Stock of anything in season is plentiful enough and the prices are low. The retailers say the business is at its lowest ebb, with hardly anything except funeral work, and even that is light. In look- ing over the stock at the different wholesale houses, I found a great abun- dance of roses, the bulk of them Killar- neys of the several varieties, many showing improved stem and flowers. There also are plenty of Wards and Beauties of fairly good quality. Car- nations are nearing the end. A few good ones are seen, but most of them are small and sell cheaply. Sweet peas are few. Asters are coming in quite heavily, but fancy stock as yet is scarce, the bulk of the receipts showing the bad effects of the dry summer. A few dahlias are coming in, but they sell poorly. Good gladioli are plentiful, but move slowly, as so niany of the ordi- nary sorts are offered at as little as $10 in thousand lots. Shasta daisies and Easter lilies are more than the demand can use up at present. A few light showers last week brightened up the outdoor stock somewhat. In greens the market found slow sales during the week, with plenty of fancy ferns, asparagus and smilaz. Various Notes.

The members are to take the Manchester car on Market street to Gove avenue at Webster. Subjects for discussion at this meeting will be night meetings, affiliation of the club with the S. A. F., and convention mat- ters in general. A large attendance is looked for. W. J, Pitcher, of Kirkwood, reports that his big rose house is in fine shape and that the young stock is making splendid growth. Violet and carnation plants in the field suffered a great deal this summer from the continued hot and dry weather. The loss will be about sixty per cent. A. S. Halstead, of the St. Clair Floral Co., Belleville, called last week and said that he will take in the Boston conven- tion, after which he will visit some of the large growers around New York and Philadelphia. Mr. Halstead will spend thirty days on his trip. Now that Arthur Kring, John Erlin- ger and Otto Breuning, the H. G. Berning working force, have had their vacations It IS up to the boss to take his. Mr' Berning has become one of our great baseball fans. Edwin Gerlach, formerly bookkeeper for C. A.

From Chicago they w^ill go to Boston and other cities in the east. They will be away the whole month of August. City Forester Julius Koenig says that after the new charter goes into effect, August 29, his office will come under the direction of the park commissioner. Henry Emunds, of Belleville, 111., says that his yellow Queen Helen canna! with- stood the dry summer in great shape and that the big field of it looks fine. He has a good field of carnation plants, which he will house by the middle of the month. W. W. Randall and M. A. Le Ganger, representing the A. L. Bandall Co., Chi- cago, were at the Maryland hotel from July 31 to August 5 with a line of flo- rists' supplies. The "Windier Wholesale Floral Co. is building a new office in the front of the salesroom. This week interior decora- tion will be started, Frank Windier, head of the firm, is shaping things to take in the S. A. F. convention. His trip will include New York, Philadel- phia and Atlantic City. Henry Ostertag says he will be too busy to take a vacation this summer, as he is over his head in politics. He is seeking the nomination of central committeeman in his ward and can be seen daily in his big automobile, elec- tioneering for his democratic friends. The Riessen Floral Co., on South Broadway, reports a splendid July busi- ness, mostly filneral work. Edward Buechel, head of the concern, contem- plates a trip to Sedalia and Joplin this month, to attend an annual meeting at each place. Miss M. S. Newman and Miss Arm- Arcade Floral Shop F. W.

Ayres reports unusually good summer trade, includii;g a heavy run of funeral work, with many large de- signs. Mrs. Ayres will not make an eastern trip this summer. Word has been received from Alex Siegel, who is enjoying the summer months at Mackinac Island, that he has completely recovered from his recent illness. Prof. D. R. Jones, plant pathologist at the University of Wisconsin; Prof. L. H. Harvey, of Kalamazoo, Mich., and Prof. G. H. Bretnall, of La Crosse, Wis. were recent visitors at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Henry Kahrs, for the last ten years m the employ of Grimm & Gorly, died August 1, at St. Mary's hospital, after an illness of ten days with typhoid pneumonia. He was 37 years old The remains were sent to New York Au- gust 3, for burial.

J. J. B. BOSTON. The Market. Business continues quiet. The quan- tity of flowers coming in is compara- tively small, but is more than ample for the light demand. The shipping trade to shore and mountain resorts has been disappointing and the clouded business horizon now makes any improvement improbable. Asters are just coming to the front and will soon dominate the market. Some of the growers have splendid greenhouse-grown flowers. These have longer stems, larger flowers and are in every way superior to the out- door ones. White is far the most popu- lar color. Outdoor gladioli are coming in, but as yet only in moderate quanti- ties compared with other years, owing to the abnormally cool July. Carnations still arrive from one or two growers, but there is little use for them while good asters are abundant. I do not remember having ever before seen such really good carnations so late in the summer. Quite a lot of short- stemmed roses of the new crop are com- ing in. Prices on these are low. Fair prices still are realized for the better grades. Lilies of several kinds are abun- (lant, but selling slowly. For valley and WASHINGTON D. C X QUDE BROS.CO fLORISTS 1214 r'ST.NW W£aHIN(ITON.O«.

John E. Ness and Peter Arnolt, two popular young Scotchmen from Brook- line, sailed on the S. S. Pretorian for Glasgow July 31, for a two months' tour in Great Britain. The finest asters I have seen this sea- son were grown by E. J. Ahearn, of Wellesley. These were all greenhouse- grown and it was a simple matter to distinguish them from outdoor flowers. The war situation in Europe is caus- ing serious concern to the local seed merchants. They believe Dutch and French bulbs will probably come to hand all right, but the securing from Germany of necessary flower seeds promises to be difficult unless the situa- tion clears. F. H. Houghton had a simple but charming window August 1, using large bowls and baskets of gladioli with a background of Cibotium Schiedei. Fred E. Palmer, of Brookline, is spending a short vacation in Maine. His large bed in the convention garden looks attractive. J. Newman & Son say they have had a good summer trade. Steamer and funeral orders have come in freely Galvin 's had the wedding decorations which were quite extensive, for the Rice-Ayer wedding at Ipswich August 4 In the grounds they used large numbers of hydrangeas, bays, box and other ma- terial to good advantage. They also had the decorations for Miss Appieton 's wedding at Ipswich August 5. In their window decorations August 1 I noted a nice lot of the new forms of Astilbe Arendsi and other fine perennials from the Mount Desert Nurseries, Bar Har- bor.

Co. reports business as a little quiet, but says roses are unusually good for August, while sweet peas from north shore points are excellent. B. Hammond Tracy, of Wenham, says gladioli with him are of fine quality, but unusually late in blooming. He is building a two-story house 38 x 46, to give necessary additional bulb storage facilities. Among the newest exhibitors in the convention garden are the Eastern Nurs- eries, New England Nurseries, Edward MacMulkin and Robert Craig Co, The last named firm has a bed of the newer crotona. The weather bureau says that the temperature in July was the lowest for that month since 1902. The season has been a comfortable one for stay-at- homes, but plants which en.joy tropical or semi-tropical weather have not made their usual growth. The Boston Cut Flower Co., when visited August 1, was busy on funeral work. Mr. Rosenthal has done good service of late as a member of the lo- cal finance committee for the S. A. F. convention. H. H. Rogers, of South Sudbury, has two specialties, carnations and asters. He grows both well. McAlpine & McDonald report good July business, their shipping trade be- ing beyond expectations. Frank J. Mc- Donald has just returned from his va- cation. At the store of Henry R. Comley, on Park street, I noticed, among other flowers in his always varied weekly dis- plays, neriums, Dendrobium formosum, platycodons and a nice lot of nymphseas.

Some of the local growers now in Europe who may be delayed in getting home are Thomas Stock, of Dorchesterl Charles Holbrow, of Brighton, and A Leuthy, of Eoslindale.

The first Dutch bulbs of the season arrived at New York July 31, on the Sloterdyk, from Rotterdam, four cases consigned to Maltus & Ware and two cases consigned to G. W. Sheldon & Co. Incorporation papers have been is- sued to the W. D. Wise Seed Co., of El Paso, Tex. The capital stock is placed at $30,000, and the incorporators are W. D. Wise, Charles Davis and M. J. Mur- ray. Those of the seed trade who deal in lily bulbs will be interested in the table on page 64, showing the shipments of Formosa bulbs for the season : 6,371 cases to America ; 3,559 cases to the rest of the world; total crop slightly more than 9,930 cases, as the table was prepared in Japan at almost the end of the shipping season. As forecast in The Review of July 30, L. Daehnfeldt, Ltd., of Odense, Denmark, has announced the appointment of Axel Knudsen as resident American agent. He succeeds Wm. Rehm. Mr. Knudsen was for several years employed in the Daehn- feldt export department, but has of late been a resident of Minneapolis, Minn., where he conducted a business for him- self. With lilies an everyday crop the de- mand for bulbs from Formosa has in- creased rapidly. The Formosa longi- florums are not only the earliest to be delivered but they flower earlier than either Japanese or Bermudian Easter lilies and are wanted by practically every grower who tries to cut lilies steadily. The demand has increaseu faster than production. The Barteldes Seed Co., of Oklahoma City, Okla., and the Oklahoma TraflBc As- sociation have filed a joint complaint with the interstate commerce commission against the Santa Fe, Missouri, Kansas & Texas, and other roads, stating that the rates on Spanish moss from points in Minnesota and Wisconsin to Oklahoma points are unjust and unreasonable in and of themselves, and especially when com- pared with rates from the same points to Kansas City and Joplin, Mo. ; Wichita, Kan., and Fort Smith, Ark.

If material constructed by human hands, any working parts of which can be re- placed, requires a rest, how much more does that greatest handiwork of all, of the Supreme Power of the universe, the human body, require a vacation. A florist conceived the idea some years ago that by keeping his greenhouses lighted at night, the crops would keep continually grow- ing — he discovered his mistake — his crops went back — as plant life needs rest. A continual grind at our daily labors, for such abuse man was never intended. Lay out your work so you can get away for a lit- tle vacation — not necessarily to go to Newport, Atlantic City or abroad, regulate that to the limit of your pocket book, but by all means pack your grip and enjoy a little vacation — take the better half and the kiJ- dies along, if you have them; the grown-ups can look after the busi- ness until you return. Don't say you cannot get away — many thought should Morgan pass away the world would stop — Morgan is no longer with us, but the world moves along JQst the same. Put in your Lilium Formosum for early flowering — best if you get Horieshoe Brand Formo- sum— as they are the reliable kind — then off for your vacation. Horse- shoe Brand Bulbs, particularly Lily Bulbs, average the highest percent- age obtainable — enough said. Send for the Joy Book— your's for the asking. RALPH M. WARD & CO.

SCHWAKE & CO., inc. Horticultural Importoro and Exportors 90-92 WEST BROADWAYp NEW YORK Mention The Rcrlew when yon write. most cases the questions relate specially to the shipments of bulbs which should ordinarily come in during the next sixty days. The seed trade has its fall bulb books under way — in many cases ready to mail. The question is, will it be pos- sible to procure the stock and, secondly, what will be the effect on prices! The matter is urgent. The Bulb Situation. V The French bulbs either have reached New York or are afloat. The first ship- ment of the season came in July 28 on the Sant' Anna. The Venezia arrived August 5 and the Patria is due August 12. The Germania sailed from Mar- seilles July 28 and was on the Atlantic before hostilities became acute. All the French bulbs, therefore, should get in safely and on time. The war comes just as the Dutch bulbs are beginning to move. A small shipment, mainly for S. A. F. conven- tion exhibition purposes, was on the Eot- terdam, which reached New York Au- gust 3. The Potsdam sailed from Eot- terdam August 1 with a few cases of bulbs, but the season is about a week late and the bulk of the crop is not yet on the move. At the Chicago office of the Holland-American line it was stated August 5 that the schedule of weekly sailings Rotterdam to New York will not be disturbed, according to latest ad- vices, but of course conditions are such that assurances of this sort can have little value. Of greater immediate im- portance is the mobilization of the army of Holland — it has taken a large part of the workers out of the bulb exporters' warehouses. All the young men belong to the landwehr reserves; the crops are in, but only the women and men over 45 are left to prepare them for ship- ment, to care for the land and plant next year's crop. Cable advices to a large forwarder indicate serious delay and a possible sharp reduction in ship- ments. There is, however, another as- pect of the case. Holland has lifted a bulb crop of approximately 24,000 tons (official figures show recent crops to have been from 17,000,000 to 23,000,000 kilos). Great Britain ordinarily takes one-third the Holland bulb crop, Ger- many and Austria a quarter^ France a tenth, and Russia an appreciable frac- tion. The great countries now at war use approximately two-thirds of Hol- land's bulbs, while the United States uses only about one-sixth. With Euro- pean markets closed, or nearly so, what will Holland do with its bulbs! If there is transportation between Holland and the United States it seems possible that this country may be called on to take this year a large part of the world's supply of Dutch bulbs. Valley pips would not begin to move for some weeks yet, and the greater part of the crop is grown on small plots, where the women, children and old men do a large part of the work even under normal conditions. But Hamburg will be effectually sealed by the English fleet. It probably is safe to base action on the supposition that Germany will WAR IN EUROPE NO MARKET FOR BULBS * Some of our war prices f , o. b. Rotterdam, C. 0. D.

With the reserves called out, every man under 45 years of a'ge is taken off the work on seed crops and sent to war. At the best it means delay with seeds. If the war lasts over four months it will mean that the spring seed trade in America for 1915 will have to be handled with only a small part of the usual imported supply. So long as England is at war with Ger- many there can be no hope of receiving the usual shipments from the Quedlin- burg and Erfurt districts.

Our advio* to intendlnc planters is to order at onoe. Note re- vised prices. The Sensational Australian Spancer Winter-flowering Sweet Pea, Yarrawa We have been fortunate enough to secure a small Quantity of this wonderful new Spencer Winter- flowering Sweet Pea from the raiser, Arthur Yates, of Sidney, and now offer it for the first time in America. It is far superior to the prevailing Spencer types— the flowers being exceptionally large and well fluted and waved; in color it is almost a duplicate of Countess Spencer, a delight- ful light soft rose, which lights up beautifully at night. We offer this original stock till sold, for trial, at $1.0U per trade pkt.; 8 trade pkts. for $2.75. QflQr niimi "ROSE QUEEN" is Orchid- flowering, borne on long stems, extremely free nUOC UUCCH and earlyand of pink color most attractive; is a decided acduisition, and. like all meritorious novelties, is sure to be in demand wherever grown.

Cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts promise an average crop, according to Sluis & Groot, of Enkhuisen. There was great- er variation in the various fields of tur- nips and Swedes. The acreage of man- gels and sugar beets was much reduced this year. The development of beet was late, owing to dry weather in the spring, but a middling crop is reported in prospect on a good acreage. Kadish is satisfactory, but the acreage is lim- ited. Onion has given poor results. Parsley was sown on a large scale, but only a small area survives. Spinach was not sown as widely as usual and the stand was so poor that some fields were plowed up, but the prospect on what is left is not bad. The prospect on peas is uncertain. Beans got a bad start, with a shortage of stock seed. There is a small area of parsnip, but the stand is good. Celery will be a small crop. HABBISII ABBIVINO. When the S. S.

Ferry & Co., at their expense. Payment is to be made only for such seed as they consider sufficiently clean, bright and vital for seedsmen's use; no credit being given for dirt, damaged or poor seed which has to be removed. In all cases the screenings and culls are to remain the property of the party who separates them from the crop. It is further mutually agreed that, if the erop as delivered is impure through fault of the grower, or in any other respect is, in the judgment of D. M. Ferry & Co., unfit for seedsmen's use and cannot be made fit without an un- reasonable amount of recleaning or hand-picking, D. M. Ferry & Co. may refuse to accept it in fulfillment of this contract. * * * In consideration of the faithful carrying out of the provi- sions of this agreement on the part of said G. W. Hodges, and for his services in the growing and delivering of said seeds, D. M. Ferry & Co. hereby agree to pay him at the rate of 12 cents per pound for all the seed satisfactory to said D. M. Ferry & Co. which he may deliver in accordance with this agree- ment in excess of the stock seed fur- nished him, said payment to be made immediately upon receipt of such seed, and the ascertaining by said D. M. Ferry & Co. that it is vital and fit for seed purposes. ' ' The Bight to Beject the Seed. Seeds delivered under the contract having been rejected by defendant, plaintiff brought suit to recover com- pensation. Judgment was awarded in favor of plaintiff and defendant ap- pealed to the Supreme Court, which re- versed the judgment, saying: "The contract provided that pay- ment should be made, not for such seeds as were sufficiently clean, bright and vital for seedsmen's use, but for such seeds only as the defendant considered of that character. The right was ex- pressly reserved to reject the crop, not if it was unfit for seedsmen's use, but if, in the judgment of defendant, it was unfit. « ♦ • The actual character of the seeds, whether clean, bright and vital according to some seedsmen or not, was not the matter to be determined, and was not even pertinent to that issue, except in connection with proof of bad faith." Incidentally, the court finds that the trial judge committed error in refusing to permit the defendant to show that some of the seeds had bqen tested in a laboratory of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture and found to have a percentage of vitality of fifty-four and one-half per cent and fifty-six and one-half per cent, respectively, which the company deemed to be too low to be acceptable. Defendant claimed that the average percentage of vitality for watermelon seeds is eighty-six per cent and that seeds under seventy-five per cent are not merchantable for seed pur- poses, g.

What is the cause of the pest? H. H. Ked spider is difficult to kill on cu- cumbers. It comes only -when the at- mospheric conditions are too dry. Pressure of water, well directed, is per- haps the best remedy, but the tender nature of the cucumber leaves makes it impossible to use strong pressure. If you keep the atmosphere more humid another season and attend to damping and spraying more carefully, this pest may not trouble you. C. W. KEEPING CELERY IN TRENCHES. Kindly advise me how to keep celery in a trench. How deep and wide should the trench be and how close should I put the celery in it? What would you cover it with? I wish to keep it until about Christmas. The variety I grow is White Plume. D. G. The best way to keep celery in trenches outdoors is to grow the plants in trenches dug out ten inches deep and of sufficient width to accommodate a double row. The plants can go ten inches apart and the rows should be twelve to fifteen inches apart. It is then a simple matter to hill up gradu- ally with soil and protect them. As you have probably been growing your plants in single rows, dig out a trench eighteen inches deep and a yard wide on any well-drained land. Lift with a good ball and pack close together. Every four or five feet put in a board partition. This prevents heating and the spreading of mold. Cover with soil as you proceed, except the tops of the plants; these can be covered later. When all are covered, let the ground freeze two or three inches thick be- fore putting on a coating of straw, leaves or some other mulch. A couple of wide boards, nailed V-shape, can be used on the top of the trench to throw oflf the water. An easier way to keep celery would be either in a coldframe or cellar, pack- ing the roots in sand and airing freely One of Our Prize-Winner Fansiei Johnson's Choice Strain of J Prize-Winner Pansies Flowers are of immense size, distinct colors and perfect shape.

Mention The Review when you write. ^'•trate of soda is a powerful and quick acting nitrogenous fertilizer. It should be applied at the rate of not over 150 or 200 pounds per acre, and then only to well established crops. As a stimulant to crops in need of a tonic, it is excellent, giving results in a short time. For tomatoes I have not found it a good fertilizer. Dried blood and fine bone have proved more beneficial, and good cow manure has proved supe- rior to all. Tomatoes should not be grown on the same land year after year, or they will deteriorate in quality. Nitrate of soda should never be applied in the fall and extreme caution must be used in sprink- ling it on the ground. Use care not to get it too near the plants, and remember that an overdose will do much harm rather than good. Be sure all lumps are broken up finely before spreading it on the land. "While it promotes a rapid growth, its continued use soon exhausts the land. C. W. Adelphla, N.

First I sowed the vetch, but having only a few seeds, as most of them had been destroyed by a fire near-by, I finally had only the sweet pea hybrid seed left. This was in 1887, when I was preparing to come to the United States. Comes to America. "In the fall of 1888 I came to this country, and a year afterward was given charge of H. Bolte's greenhouses, at AUentown, Pa. There I at once sowed the sweet pea hybrids. Several weeks after sowing, many strange plants came up among the seedlings, entirely differ- ent in foliage and growth. This was a most exciting time for me. Soon I no- ticed that they had begun to form buds, and about sixty days after the seeds were first sown, the first flower opened. The plants were only about twenty-eight inches high, with only a single branch. The flowers were small, only one or two of brick red, purple, and white with bluish-pink, on a stem. I kept each color separate, crossing them again with the best variety of sweet pea existing at that time. It was in this year that Henry Eckford began his great work of improving the sweet pea, and by the year 1889 there were thirty-five known varieties. "About the same year D. M. Ferry & Co. introduced the famous Blanche Ferry. This variety has put all other varieties in the shade.

"I became exceedingly busy now crossing this new variety with my win- ter-flowering hybrids. In the second generation many diflferent colors came. Three of the same shape as the Blanche Ferry were much larger; one was pink and white, one pure white, and one blue. I selected the pink and white for propagating, and named it the Win- ter Blanche Ferry. This variety began to revert so badly to the old late-flower- ing type that I have not intended to introduce it at all, but have given some seeds to many growers for test under glass. Eecrossing the Christmas Blanche Ferry with the late-flowering Blanche Ferry, again I obtained the famous Christmas Fink. "In 1893 Peter Henderson & Co. in- troduced the epoch-making white sweet pea, Emily Henderson. This I crossed again with my Christmas Pink, and the result was the pure white winter-flower- ing large hybrid which I later named Florence Denzer. This and Christmas- Pink were extensively grown for the New York stores from 1895 to 1898. The Denuand for the Seed. "Having offers for my seed from many growers, many of whom offered me as much as $150 a pound, I began to increase the seed as much as possible. I now began to advertise, and in a few weeks, to my surprise, found I had sold all the seed. The orders had been scat- tered all over the world among the flo- rists. About this same time one seed firm began to advertise the 'Earliest of All Sweet Peas,' which, on close exami- nation, I found to be nothing but my old Christmas Blanche Ferry. As I have mentioned, this variety has the tendency to revert to the late-flowering, so that only about ten per cent have come into bloom during the winter. This seed has been offered quite cheap, so that many florists have bought it and planted it extensively in their green- houses, but they are unable to cut any flowers until late in May, while those who have bought my Christmas Pink seed have picked flowers from Thanks- giving until late in the spring. Outbreak of "Sweet Pea Fever." ""From that time I devoted my entire time to the sweet pea seed, selecting only the best-selling varieties. About the year 1906 the sweet pea fever began to exist among florists. One large green- house after another was built in nearly every section for sweet peas alone.

OREGON 74 The Florists' Review AD008T,e, 1914. The annual meeting of the Idaho Nurserymen's Association has been post- poned until the time of the meeting of the state legislature next winter. California nurserymen are to have a first-rate convention this year, if early preparations mean anything. President D. W. Coolidge, of Pasadena, and Secre- tary Henry W. Kruckeberg, of Los An- geles, met a number of San Diego nurserymen at the U. S. Grant hotel in their city last week, to start the ball rolling. The fourth annual convention of the association will be held in San Diego October 14 and 15, and a live meeting is expected. For a purpose not divulged, publicity is being given the value of English wal- nut trees for commercial orchards by HoUister Sage, of Waterbury, Conn. He believes that of the 50,000,000 pounds of these nuts annually consumed by the United States the large proportion which is now imported might be grown in the northern states of this country. Cali- fornia, he states, grows about 24,000,000 pounds a year. In connection with this subject the success of E. C. Pomeroy, son of Norman Pomeroy, the Lockport, N. Y., nurseryman, is referred to. A BILL providing a place for a practical nurseryman on the state board of ento- mology is before the senate of the Georgia legislature and has received the recom- mendation of the committee on agricul- ture. At present the presidents of the state horticultural and agricultural so- cieties are ez-officio members of the board; by this bill, when the terms of the two present incumbents expire, four and six years from now, the governor is to appoint a nurseryman and a farmer to their places. The present members, presidents of the societies, are J. 0. Wade, of Cornelia, and J. T. Williams, of Bed Oak. In connection with its landscape and nursery business, the La Grange Nursery Co., of La Grange, 111., proposes to con- duct a general greenhouse business and has purchased the range of C. W. North- rup, which will be moved to the com- pany's grounds on North Brainard ave- nue. The La Grange Nursery Co. has met with such success since it was started by Henry Mehl two years ago that the proprietor's father-in-law, Julius West- phal, of Chicago, is to join him in en- larging the facilities of the concern and will move to La Grange. Carl L. Sewell, for many years with the Harrison nurseries, at York, Neb., will come to La Grange to act as general manager and superintendent of both the greenhouses and nursery. PARK SUPERINTENDENTS MEET. The American Association of Park Superintendents will hold its annual meeting August 24 to 27 at Newburgh, N. Y. The headquarters of the asso- ciation in New York city will be the Hotel Astor. The entertainment com- mittee has been busy and the members of the association in attendance will have much of their time taken up by You may diacontinu* our adver* tUament, as wa ara through with our spring shipments, but wa will giva you anothar ordar for fall, as THE RESULTS from tha ona for spring HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFAC- TORY. —Franklin DaTis Nursery Co., Baltimore.

Harriman, visits to Inter- state park and West Point, and an au- tomobile excursion through the New- burgh parks and the Tuxedo valley.- RAILWAY GARDENERS TO MEET. The eighth annual convention of the Railway Gardening Association will be held in New York city August 11 to 14. The headquarters of the associa- tion will be at the Hotel Breslin. As a form of rest after the more serious proceedings of the organization, trips to the Duke farms, at Ocean Grove, N. J., and to Coney island have been arranged by the entertainment com- mittee.

A contract to sell and "to deliver to party of the second part, in a sound and healthy condition, such and all [orange] trees now growing in our nurs- ery rows, and hereinafter described," at 30 cents per tree, was recently con- strued by the Texas Court of Civil Ap- peals, in the case of Alsworth vs. Rep- pert, 167 Southwestern Reporter, 1098, not to make the buyer liable for the price of trees which were frozen before they were dug by him. The seller claimed that the buyer must bear the loss, on the theory that title to the j trees passed when the contract of sale was made, but the Court of Civil Ap- peals said: ' ' The instrument is headed ' Purchase Contract,' and is referred to as a 'con- tract and sale.' It does not recite that the appellants have sold the trees to appellees, but that appellants agree to deliver them in a sound and healthy I solicit an opportunity to fissure on contracts for CAUFORNIA PRIVET HEDGDIG For the comin^f Autumn and next Spring's sales I have to offer over a half million California Privet, consisting of two years old in l^ij to 2 feet, 2 to 3 feet and 3 to 4 feet; three years in .3 to 4 feet, and one year in 12 to 18 inches and 1^ to 2 feet grades. The two and three year grades were carefully cut back the past Spring, are well branched and strictly first-class. I am prepared to offer exceedingly attractive prices, especially in car- load lots. Being the introducer of the California Privet as a hedge plant away back in the early seventies, it is perhaps not claiming too much to say I am headquarters for it. J. T.

The trees were sound and healthy at the time the instrument was signed, and, had it been intended that appellees should take title at that time, and with it the risk, it would have been easy to express that intention by sim- ply saying that the trees were sold and delivered to appellees. The instrument further provides that the balance was to be paid 'as trees are delivered, the delivery consisting as above described, wherein party of the second part is to dig said trees at his own expense.' By this clause the parties admit that no delivery has been made, and agree what should constitute a delivery. Constructiye or Actual Delivery? "It does not appear," the judge con- tinued, "that the trees were counted, or their number agreed upon, at the time or before the signing of said in- strument, and, while the number of the trees of the size mentioned could easily be arrived at by measuring and counting, yet it also became necessary to determine at the time of delivery how many of the trees were sound and healthy, and to separate them from I ?fu^^^^^ might be unsound or un- !!f *^^:.

A census of the nursery (greenhouse) and seed trades has been undertaken by the Horticultural Trades Association of Great Britain and Ireland, but is meet- ing with the same difficulties that de- stroyed the value of the work of the United States census in 1910 — the trade does not respond fully and accurately. The first attempt of the U, S. census bureau was to gather its statistics by means of responses to blanks sent to all known addresses in the trade. But there was no complete, accurate list, and only a small percentage of those who received blanks returned them with all spaces properly and accurately filled in. Then special enumerators were instructed to get the facts, but too late to secure the results that had been anticipated. When the trades association in Eng- land undertook a census of the industry a firm of American certified public ac- countants was retained. At a recent meeting it was reported that ' ' the in- quiry did not touch a large class of tomato and cucumber growers, who, though not nurserymen, formed a strong branch of commercial horticulture and ought, it was considered, to be included in any return made. It was arranged to take steps to enlarge the scope of the inquiry so as to take in the class de- scribed. A communication was sub- mitted from Price, Waterhouse & Co., showing that they were having consid- erable difficulty in compiling the re- turns, owing to the careless way in which some members had filled in their forms. It was also stated that only some 600 had made returns out of the 2,000 requested to do so, and that unless a larger percentage could be induced to make returns, the results of the inquiry would be obviously defective and incom- plete. It was agreed that an appeal to the trade be issued through the press, and all those who have not yet made returns strongly urged to give the mat- ter their prompt attention."

We have been haadling it for a little over two years and ought to know some- JOY! thing about it. It's a real red. It is the kind of Carnation that proves the florists' friend. Shipped over a distance, it will look as good on arrival as when sent. This feature appeals to us because we know what it means to the man who is depending on us. JOY has been described by Mr. E. H. Blameuser, of Niles Center, 111.— the man who raised it— as "a strong grower, early, very free and con- tinuous bloomer, with strong calyx and good stem." That should be good enough for anybody.

The Market. The last week has brought no change in the local market conditions, the sup- ply and demand being practically equally adjusted. Asters are rapidly becoming the predominant feature. Business is normally sluggish, funeral •work giving about all the activity no- ticeable. Various Notes. Matthew J. Leach, one of the best known florists in Ehode Island, and his two sons, Herbert A, Leach and Edward I. Leach, all of Pawtucket, have filed articles of association as M. J. Leach & Sons, for the purpose of conducting a florists' business, located at Pawtucket, with a capitalization of $40,000. Nathan Fishelson, of Joseph Koppel- man's force, and his wife are spending the summer at Sharon Springs, Mass. Eugene Seymour is putting one of his large houses at Warren to Whitman! ferns. Smith, the Florist, has had several large funeral orders recently. Among these was a large standing wreath, ten feet tall, for the funeral of Superintend- ent of Public Buildings Steere. The Providence Horticultural Co. has been driven with work during the last week in connection with the crusade on the army worm. Frederick Covill, formerly manager of the flower department of the Shepard Co., but now with a florists' concern at Montreal, Can., is spending a part of his vacation in this city. W. H. M. NEWPORT, E. I. Mrs. Carl Jurgens, Sr., is critically ill at her residence, on Bliss Mine road. The receptions, dinners and other social functions in connection with the visit of the Duchess of Marlborough have made an unusual demand for flow- ers and decorations. Wadley & Smythe have been exceptionally busy along these lines, and the other retailers have received their share of work. Table decorations are included in the premium list of the joint show of the Newport Garden Club and the Newport Horticultural Society, to be held at Bel- court August 1.3 to 15. The prizes for this class led to the expectation of fine exhibits. Other lines are well repre- sented, also. W. H. M. Canton, HI. — George W.

GODFREY ASCHMANN, 1012 West Ontario Street, Wholesale Grower, Importer and Shipper of Pot Plants Mention Tti> R^Tlrw when yon wrlt». Philadelphia, Pa. NASHVILLE, TENN. The Market. All the talk at present here is of war. Some are talking of the European war, and others of war on the drought of the last two seasons. There are more private irrigating plants being put in this season than ever before in the city and vicinity, I am sure. Florists who have been short of water are look- ing to their supply, while market gar- deners are putting in private pumping plants and the Skinner irrigating system where they can. Those who have al- ready done so are reaping a rich harvest this season. We are led to wonder if it would not have paid some of the growers to grow tomatoes and beans this season instead of roses and carnations. String beans were selling at $10.50 per barrel wholesale on the market square a few days ago. This is not really trade news, but it tells better than anything else the condition of outdoor crops. With the exception of gladioli, there are no outdoor flowers. Cut flowers are scarce. Kaiserin and Maryland are about the only thing in roses, and they are not at all good. We doubt if a dozen really high-class" roses could be found in the city today. Lilies are in good supply and the qual- ity is good. Gladioli are in good sup- ply, but the quality is poor. It is better than it was a week ago, however. Business has been better during the last fortnight than is usual at this sea- son. As the demand has been mostly for funeral work, it has been possible to dispose of the short-stemmed roses to good advantage. We have not seen a carnation that was worthy the name for several weeks. Asters are little bet- ter and they are all shipped in. Various Notes. Most of the help of the Joy Floral Co. are off on their vacations. Those who were left behind have been on the jump to get out a run of funeral work. This firm is cutting gladioli heavily at present, and the blooms are the best that I have seen this season.

During tile last cold wave, 6 above zero with a 90-niile irale blowing, one end of houses was as warm as the other, no variation at all, which speaks well for your heating: plan. There are no remarks or suggestions to make regarding your boilers, as we consider same the acme of perfection for greenhouse hot water heating in every way. The steam boiler you furnished us last summer for puntping and heating purposes Is certainly a "GEM." An easier, more effective as well as econom- ical boiler as to fuel consumption I have not seen. (Signed) GEO. .TCERGEN8, Supt. for Arthur Cockcroft. Northport, L. I., Jan. 23nd, 1914. OHIO'S CELEBRATES CYCLAMEN SPECIALIST. After using your No. 12 KroescbcU Boiler I came to the conclusion that had I to Install more boilers It would be the Kroescheli and no other. It really is a pleasure to heat, no troublt- to get the desired heat in a very short time. (Signed) CHRIST WINTERICH. DEFIANCE, OHIO. THE QUALITY PLACE OF BOSTON. Regarding the Kroescheli it is the best we. have ever had and satisfactory beyoud our expectations. It heats up especially quick and has saved us con- siderably already in the price of fuel. When we are in need of another boiler we will give the Kroescheli the first consideration. (Signed) WM. W. EDGAR CO.. WAVERLEY, MASS. A BIC^ MAN IN THE FLORICUL- TUBAL WORLD. The Kroescheli Boiler X installed last year usually runs from 10 p. m. to (i a. m. without attention. I do not have the least trouble to keep temperatures in the coldest weather. The boiler has given entire satisfaction. The Kroescheli Is the best boiler we have ever handled. (Signed) CHARLES TOTTY. MADISON, NEW JERSEY. A FAMOUS ILLINOIS BOSE RANGE. In speaking of the Kroescheli Boiler as an economical greenhouse boiler I cannot say too much. Personally I liave had the pleasure or misfortune to tire nearly every make of G. H. Boiler • m the market and I can safely say the Kroescheli is the best of them all. (Signed) CHAS. McCAULEY, RIVERBANK GREENHOUSES, GENEVA. ILL. THE WORLD'S GREATEST MUSH- ROOM PLANT. We spent $100,000 in building and equipping the largest modern musiirooni plant in the world. We purchased in every instance the best of everything we could get, and the fact that we installed a Kroescliell Boiler to furnisli our heat is sufficient evidence of our opinion of same. Since installing this boiler and oper- .ating it we have never had any reason to change our opinion. (Signed) FAI>MOnTH MUSHROOM CELLARS. INC., FALMOUTH. MASS. A WELL KNOWN CARNATION PRIZE WINNEB. The carnation range of Mr. Nic Zwei- fel, of North .Milwaukee, consists of nearly 70,(K)0 sq. ft. glass and the water plant is heated by a No. 14 and No. l.'i Kroescheli Boiler and Kroescheli Gener- ator. The product of tbe plant is known throughout the West for Its fine qual- ity. .Mr. Z. has used different kinds of boilers.

A little funeral work is about all the activity in the flower line these days. There is a scarc- ity of all kinds of stock. Roses are poor and scarce. Russell, Taft and Ward are the best roses; White Killarney holds up pretty well, however. Gladioli are excellent and they are the most abundant flowers just now. Asters are coming into the market in large quantities and they are improving in size and length of stem right along. There are a few Japanese lilies, rubrum and album, to be had now. Harrisii lilies are rather scarce. Sweet peas are getting poorer and the summer crop will soon be over. American Beauties are good, considering the warm weather. Valley is excellent and the price is mod- erate. Cattleyas are abundant. Lark- spurs, snapdragons, cut hydrangeas, candytuft, etc., are among the garden flowers for sale of late. Club Picnic. The annual outing of the Buffalo Flo- rists' Club was held Thursday, July 23, at the Bedell House, Grand Island. Not- withstanding the fact that it rained nearly all afternoon, there was a good attendance, and in the late afternoon the weather was quite clear, so that the events were run off in a satisfactory manner. These included various kinds of races, a baseball game and a tug of war between growers and storemen. Walter Leney was the star prize winner of the day, capturing firsts in the half- mile race and running broad jump and second prize in the 100-yard dash. Dinner was served at 7 p. m. and the table decoration was most artistic, hav- ing been executed by Charles Erhardt, who deserves a great deal of credit for his work. After dinner, dancing and bowling occupied the evening until a GREENHOUSE HEATING HOT WATER- Open tank or pressure systems designed by us will heat perfectly and not "blow out."

The Florists' Review 99 Oldest and Newest Greenhouse Boiler Made IT'S really forty years old and two ' years young. Forty years ago we started to make our first greenhouse boiler. Two years ago we made the last really important improvement on it— that of making the grates shake half at a time. This Bumham Boiler now is the big brother of a family of four, three of whom have long since been rele- gated to the past. This Big Brother Bumham, however, is the boiled down goodness of all the good there was in those other boilers, with the faults all skimmed off and thrown away. As it stands today it represents our half a century, and over, of greenhouse experience, and forty years of actual boiler making. We were the first to make a boil- er especially for greenhouse work. We are still the first; because there has been, or is, no second. Anything that is made especially to do a special thing, it stands to reason, should do that thing spec- ially well. The question for you to decide then, is— will you buy just a bMler.or a greenhouse boiler that actually is a greenhouse boiler? Before you make any decision, let us give you some important facts and figures. |of4,6IWiiham(o. SALK« orncESi 40?"^ ^ORK BOSTON PHILADELPHIA OHIOAOO ROOHESTER CLEVELAND TORONTO.

The Market. The market is well supplied in almost every line. Throughout last week and the first part of this week the receipts have increased steadily, until there is on hand far more than enough stock to go around. Naturally, low prices rule. The supply of gladioli continues large and includes many choice spikes. The aster cut has increased greatly and add- ed to the large local supply are the ship- ments from Michigan. These really are better than anything else in the mar- ket. Giganteum lilies are not plentiful, but apparently are sufficient in quantity to take care of all calls. The rose situ- ation is unchanged. There is plenty of stock, some of which is more or less in- different in quality, while a considerable part of the whole moves out of the wholesale houses only via the waste bar- rel. Other offerings include auratum and rubrum lilies, tuberoses, hardy hy- drangeas, dahlias and a few antirrhi- nums. The supply of greens is sufficient for requirements. Various Notes. The Cincinnati Florists* Society will hold its regular meeting at the club rooms Monday, August 10. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Critchell and C. E.

The Denver florists entertained the Colorado Springs florists at a picnic Sat- urday, August 1, at Elitch Gardens, a delightful and popular pleasure resort run in connection with the Elitch-Long Floral Co. A party of forty arrived at 10 a. m. to spend Saturday and Sunday with us. Automobiles were waiting to take them over our splendid boulevard and park system and then out to Elitch Gardens, where dinner was served. After dinner Denver's team beat the Colorado Springs team in a close and interesting baseball game, the score be- ing 12 to 11. Mrs. Euby Hodgers won first place in the married ladies' race. The young ladies ' race was won by Miss Uhra Schlesinger. Mr. Davis was the victor in the young men's race. Carl Lingenf elder won the fat men's race by a small margin. He said he got his training in the German army, only he was not in the fat men's class then. Prizes were given to all the winners. Supper was served in the gardens, un- der the magnificent old apple trees that are one of the gardens ' greatest charms. In the evening everyone enjoyed a per- formance of ' ' The Lottery Man, ' ' given by the Elitch Gardens stock company. On Sunday the visitors were taken to the places of interest about the city. R. S. DISEASED ASTERS. Can you tell me what is the trouble with my aster plants? The buds dry up. I have sprayed with Paris green, but the disease seems to continue. I am sending a specimen plant. I. H. B. The condition of your asters would seem to indicate a lack of moisture in the soil. Either this or extremes of moisture and dryness are likely to cause the trouble. If you keep |jrour soil con- stantly cultivated you will retain the necessary moisture in the best possible way. Spraying with Paris green or other poisonous substances is useless ex- cept in destroying insect pests, while there is always grave danger that Paris green will burn rather than benefit the plants. Stir the ground thoroughly and frequently. It will do far more good than any spraying. C. W. Qordon, Wis. — L. E.

There has been no change in business conditions since the first of last month unless it is that there is less doing. A marked drop in temperature materi- ally shortened the supply of stock last week, but this was hardly noticeable in view of the limited demand. The storm that struck this section Thursday, July 30, was accompanied by hail on the Vir- ginia side of the Potomac. On Sunday the mercury started to rise and the probability is that the city will again flwelter throughout the entire month. Various Notes. William F.

There were more members in attendance than ever before, and from beginning to end everything was so well planned and carried out that it would seem impos- sible for better arrangements to have been made. Toronto's "old brigade" sticks together in a most remarkable manner, and when they make up their minds to accomplish anything, they generally manage to get there. At the same time it is rather a pity that out of the list of seventy retail florists in that city not one-third of that number seem to have joined the association, whereas from towns where there are not more than half a dozen florists the pro- portion of those who attended was out- standing evidence of the real live in- terest taken in matters pertaining to floriculture in the Dominion of Canada. Opening Session. The convention opened Tuesday morning, Aug- ust 4, at St. George's hall, with E. J. Mep- stead, of Ottawa, in the chair, H. B. Cowan, the president, being unfor- tunately kept away by the death of his mother. Controller O'Neall read Mayor Hocken 's civic welcome, which was re- sponded to by James McKenna, of Montreal. The report of Julius I^uck, secretary and treasurer, was then read, the balance sheet show- ing a credit of $157.42 |or the last year. Mr. '^uck reported that there ^I'le at present 102 "K'mbers belonging to the association, and mentioned that although several new members ^'I'l joined, other mem- ^^^^_ had dropped oflF. f'lving the total mem- ^^i-«hip about the same hur .^^ ^.^^^- Consider- V .^ increased num- ho' ,^^''} ^^^« entered .;^ trade in the last s ''r*'''' *^« energetic «- rctary ^ould like to tn„u . membership ."0 up to 200 at least 0. nJpL-^'"" «^ the next •nvention.

There were over 200 present on this occasion, and after an enjoyable out- ing everyone returned to the annual banquet, which was held under attractive auspices in Exhibition park, H. B.

Many extremely handsome designs were produced by Washington florists for the funeral of Mrs. Wilson, wife of the President, and, all told, they filled more, than 150 orders. These orders started to, come to the store* late on the afternoon lof August 7, but many were not placed until Monday morning for delivery the. same afternoon. The coming of a Saturday half -jholiday and Sunday between these two dates placed the stores at somewhat of ia disadvan- tage, but everj-thing was handled ex- peditiously, George C. Shaffer furnished more than twenty designs, among them be- ing a massive standing wreath, eight feet high, containing upwards of 300 rubrum lilies forming the upper half of the wreath proper, the lower section being white asters interspersed with croton foliage. J. H. Small & Sons, with but one or two exceptions, furnished the pieces for the entire diplomatic corps stationed in Washington. The majority of these were in the form of standing wreaths and were put up in a solid way, guar- anteeing safe shipment to Eome, Ga., where Mrs. Wilson was laid at rest. While large quantities of Radiance, American Beauty, Killarney Queen and other roses were used, the tributes of the South. Aifiericahs consisted largely of cattleya, formosum and vanda orc'hids. Many of these were tied with fcows of the national colors of the countries for which they were sent. They also furnislied offerings for the W^ashington corps of correspondents, the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion, the Daughters of the Confederacy, the Gridiron Club, and for Mr. and Mrs. Theodore "Roosevelt. Stfange as it may seeni, perhaps, the first tribute to be delivered at the White Houtre was 8<»ttt on behalf of the people of Mexico. This Avas one of the more than thirty pieces furnished by the Gude Bros. Co. Z. D. Blackistone supplied, among many pieces, a standing wreath on be- half of the members of the United States Senate. The wreath proper measured a little more than three feet in diameter and was made of orchids and lily of the valley in cascade effect.

Oehmler and others all came in for a share of the business, which taxed the capacity of the White House for the proper handling of the enormous mass of flowers, which exceeded anything ever before seen in Washington. At the store of J. H. Small & Sons on Sunday I saw an enormous casket cover of Easter lilies and American Beauty roses furnished by Mr, Cum- mings of Baltimore, on behalf of the Democratic Clubs of that city. - C. L. L. NOVEL LIGHT FIXTURES. A Michigan florist is the latest to add to the stylishness and individual- ity of his store by making use of the decorative skill which is one of the req- uisites of success in this line of trade. In constructing and fitting up his new retail store last spring, E. S. Thomjisou, proprietor of the Central Seed & H"''' Co., at 179 Pipestone street, Benton Harbor, Mich., did his best to outdo the -other retailers in his part of the state without incurring expense ou* ot proportion to his field. He knew he had a good-sized job on his hands if he were to do this, and started on a lnj"* for new and unique ideas. One with which he was particularly successful is his light fixtures. Indirect ele( trif light is used in this store. To contain the bulbs and the reflectors, ^I''' Thompson used wire hanging bap'^P^*' measuring twenty-four inches in-fid^- inlaid with green sheet moss. Insio^ these, powe^'ful reflectors are biltej' and 100-watt electric light bulbs hid- den from the view of persons on thf floor. The fixtures are quite attra'tiv^ and in harmony with the business, a"' the soft glow of light diffused over th« '^T%^r?^'?»^!^fr-''--'TV"'-'';» ^'-'^J.

A traveler from that enter- prising metropolis, Chicago, who saw the unusual fixtures, immediately asked to have a set made for his store in the city. This order, rather out of the ordinary for a flower" store, was filled, and the baskets and lamps ready for lighting were shipped across the lake. The store is decorated in a way that readily adapts itself to this system of lighting. The upper walls and ceiling are of a cream tint with gold figures, while the lower walls are of a natural green finish. The furnishings are all of white enamel. These include an H- foot display case with double plate glass in front and sides, a IQ-foTQt dis- jilay case for baskets, ribbons,- f Qliage, etc., fitted into a series of sht^yeHVthat extend half the length of the siefrie ,an(l across the rear end, and five talipes. There is a large room immediate'Jy in the rear for the storage and handling of seeds and bulbs, as well as a base- ment that keeps perfectly what bulbs and stocks are needed and will accom- modate five carloads. Mr. Thompson expects to build up a prosperous retail business in addition to that in the wholesale growing of bulbs already established, and the records since the establishment of the store Just before last Easter point to that end.

There was a confereiiee of the florists' supplies and ribbons interests at Phila- delphia August 10 for welfare reasons — the Kuropean war has created such un- usual conditions that leading houses thought it desirable to talk over the policies to be pursued. It was the con- seiisus of opinion that it would lie folly to show samples of Pairoi»eaii nieichaii- (lise at the Boston convention , next week, with no stock on hand and little prospect of getting an,v. It was agreeit that each would help the other with merchandise in oros- sihle and it was the general view that th(* Wvdfare of the trade is to be cou- si ■ ,^f*'^:\ ^ f- Wreath by Mafche & Co. for Wilson Funeral. tive of the general tone of the inquiries from florists: "I am writing for a little informa- tion. Have been contemplating build- ing new houses and enlarging our ca- pacity. In your opinion, and as far as you can see, what will be the result of the European war on the florists' business? Will there be a permanent depression in the domestic trade f We contemplate going into the fern and hardy line, but do not want to go ahead if there is danger of a prolonged depression. Would you advise build- ing now, or waiting until spring, and seeing then how the business situation isf Kindly give us your candid opin- ion on this matter. Any information will be highly appreciated." No one can predict with any cer- tainty the ultimate effect of the Euro- pean war, but The Review does not anticipate that the florists' trade in this country will have a bad season. In fact, general opinion seems to be that if the war should prove prolonged it will have the result of stimulating general business in this country. * The Review has made certain plans for the expansion of its own business this fall and has as yet seen no reason to change them in the least. It is to be expected that some unusual condi- tions will develop in the next few weeks, with probably some temporary loss of business because of the uncer- tainties of the situation, but after general business has become adjusted to the new conditions The Review ex- pects to see trade in all lines go along much in the same way it did last sea- son. The florist's business in his own community may be affected, one way or the other, by the effect of the war on the special industries of his home town, but in general the trade should have a good season. In recent years the florists' business in the larger cities has had its ups and downs, but in the country towns the demand has increased steadily. Of late the in- crease has been most rapid in the midi- dle west, where the crops this season are the finest ever harvested. That western crop money will work its way through the trade. WAB AND THE TRADE. In The Review, issue of August 6, the article on ' * War and the Trade ' ' leaves out the important item of peonies, in which I am specially interested. What will become of the large import orders for September and October deliveries? If the fields of France are not devas- tated by marching armies, who will dig, divide, l&bel and pack them? If Hol- land opens her dikes, as threatened, where will her peony fields be for the next two or three years? Will this help the American grower to dispose of stock, and will the supply on hand fill the demand? Do you not believe this will increase the business in the home markets M. W. C. There were many trade items not re- ferred to in the article on "War and the Trade," that appeared in the issue of August 6. Naturally each one of these trade specialties will be affected in the same way that the main trade items are affected. The Holland peo- nies will share much the same fate as the Holland bulbs, whatever that proves to be, and the French peonies and French nursery stock will be moved about as the French seed crops are. It seems apparent that the war will result in delaying such imports as are not stopped altogether this season, and the natural result will be that American producers of competing articles will have an exceptionally good opportunity for a clean-up. A SHIPPER'S IDEAS. Those whose business depends on ocean shipping find themselves with- out an occupation, as a result of the European war. There are a great many who are affected in much greater de- gree than are florists, seedsmen or nurserymen. But the shipping trade does not look for any considerable duration of the present almost com- plete tie-up. It is expected that com- merce between England, France and America soon will begin to move again. "There are two alternatives to look for," said W. E. Peck, head of the New York shipping firm of W. E. Peck & Co., discussing the prospect of a restoration of at least a partial ocean traffic. "One is a decisive victory of a British fleet over that of Germany, rid- ding the seas of a menace of German war vessels to prey on the commerce of England and France. The other is the assigning of a portion of the British navy to convoy merchantmen across the sea from this port. "Should the conflict be drawn out over a long period, I believe the British admiralty will detach some of its fast cruisers to convoy vessels from this port to England. At the same time I believe an arrangement will be per- fected whereby the British government will issue insurance against goods con- signed upon such merchantmen. Fur- ther than that, it may be seen that British war vessels will be stationed at points along all the principal lanes of commerce, to protect British shipping." OPENING CONVENTION GARDEN. The convention garden will be opened officially by His Honor, Mayor Curley, Tuesday morning, August 18, at 11 o'clock. Delegates are requested to be there promptly at that time. John Young, Sec'y. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. At the S. A. F. convention to be held next week there will be a meeting of the American Rose Society, at which time the Hubbard gold medal will be presented to M. H. Walsh, of Woods Hole, Mass., and the silver medal to John Cook, of Baltimore, Md. Theodore Wirth, president of the S. A. F. and superintendent of parks at Minneapolis, writes: "I have some- thing which may be of value to some rose growers, particularly amateurs. We have been successful in subduing mildew by using the following prepa- ration: Water, 3 gals.; soft soap, 6 ozs.; potassium sulphide, 2 ozs. We dissolve the soap in water, then add the potassium sulphide. This spray also is good for aphis and will help along blighted buds. For mildew it is the best thing we have ever tried." Benj.

All members in a position to attend the summer meeting should make every effort to do so, to show an interest in their national association. The trip to Boston offers several days of pleasant vacation. Visitors will find much to entertain them from the horticultural point of view. There are few places to be visited in this country which would prove more interesting than a trip to Boston and its vicinity. An executive meeting of the trustees and directors, as provided in the by- laws, will be held on Wednesday morn- ing, August 19, at 9 o'clock, at the Copley Square hotel, the headquarters of the association. Many of the members going by way of New York have decided to travel by the outside line of steamers, leaving foot of Murray street, Monday, August 17, at 5 o'clock. M. C. Ebel, Sec'y.

Will you please tell me, if possible, what quantity of fish guano should be used in a carnation greenhouse 24x150, containing four beds? How often should the fertilizer be used? M. M. M. I have had no personal experience with fish guano, but others who have used it recommend the following pro- portions: As a top-dressing, use one- half to one pound per hundred square feet of bench space. I would suggest that you mix it with about six times its bulk of sifted soil and let it stand a day before using. In that way you will be able to distribute it more evenly. Used as a liquid, it is recom- mended that you use two poun country.

This is to be regretted, because, un- like all other lilies, it commences soon after the bulbs are matured to make new roots and leaves. For this reason it is to be feared that any hampers or cases which have been packed and which, due to lack of transportation facilities, are held up at the docks in France, will be seriously damaged, if not ruined entirely. The true, broad- petaled form of L. candidum comes from the north of France, usually arriv- ing here early in September. Serious delays in arrival are a certainty, and when the bulbs do arrive it would be well to pot immediately and not blame the seedsmen for what is surely far beyond their control. Candidums should not be grown in small pots; 8-inch and 10-inch are the best. These will contain three to six bulbs each, according to size. Just cover the bulbs with soil. Do not water unless the soil is quite dry. Stand the pots outdoors in the full sun, but protect from heavy rains. If the pots are heavily soaked at once, there is danger of many of the scales, or possibly the entire bulb, rotting. Use a bed of sand below the bulbs and fill in between the scales with the same material. Formosa Lilies. While the Formosa lily grows too tall in the main to be useful as a pot plant, for cutting fr.om Christmas until Easter it is invaluable. The bulbs are due to arrive soon and should be potted at once in 5-inch and 6-inch pots accord- ing to their size. There are consider- able variations in Formosa lilies. Like all seedlings, the flowers are sometimes pure white inside and out, while in other cases the outside of the trumpet is almost as dark as L. Brownii. Great points in favor of Formosa lilies are their comparative freedom from disease, the fact that they naturally flower early and the further fact that the flowers can be cut with long stems. Lilium Speciosum. Where a crop of Lilium speciosum is wanted from December to February, cold storage bulbs should be potted now. Do not place single bulbs in a pot, as in the case of L. longiflorum. Usdfe 7-inch and 8-inch pots, standing the bulbs as closely as possible in the pots in a cellar or frame, where they will be shaded and comparatively cool. If the soil is at all dry, water well; then go somewhat slow on watering until the plants are in active growth. Speciosums will start to grow quickly and must be gradually inured to light as growths appear. For cutting they will be found to do well in boxes con- taining six inches of soil. The speciosums potted last winter will now be flowering. The blooms may come out more rapidly than is desired. It is a good plan, therefore, to stand some in a cool, dry cellar. Pick off all pollen masses to keep the flowers clean. After all the flowers are cut the bulbs may be planted outdoors^ where they will give useful cutting late next sum- mer. Plant the bulbs a foot deep for best results. Japanese Iris. In order to have the best success with Japanese iris, they should be trans- planted during the present month. They do best in well enriched soil in which they can be kept well watered, or even flooded, up to the flowering period, and in winter be kept dry at the root. The soil, therefore, should be well drained. It is dampness at the root in winter, and not cold, which kills 80 many Japanese iris. Show Ptiargoniums. Show pelargoniums should now be well ripened, after a resting of some weeks on' their sides in the full sun, and they can be stood up and pruned back rather hard. Do not shake out. Repot the plants at once. Water them moderately and spray freely. As soon as they start to break freely is the time to overhaul them. Shake the soil nearly clean away, and start in smaller Sized pots than they have been growing in; also cut back the long roots at this time. Mignonette. There is no advantage in sowing mignonette earlier than the middle of August, as the plants started during so hot a period will start to flower, in spite of pinching back, at a time when the flowers have little value. Sow the seeds directly in the beds or benches a foot apart each way; Sow more seeds than are needed and thin out to- two or three in each patch. The soil should be well enriched with cow or horse manure and not less than six inches deep. Solid beds are preferable to benches, as they ensure cooler condi- tions for the roots and a more even moisture, but good mignonette can be produced in benches. Mignonette re quires a low temperature. The winter minimum should run from 40 to 45 degrees. THE DBACSNA AND CBOTON. The two places of the Robert Craig Co. require close attention to keep pace with the cultural ideas of the day. The stock grown there and the methods em- ployed express the ideas of some of the brightest minds in our profession. The draespna is undoubtedly the Dracaena Ctidgii, ■-.»■■'■, ' "^ AborKT 13, 1914. '♦•"V The Florists^ Review 19 Ficus UttUs. plant of the day. To secure perfect tiractenas of choice varieties in quan- tity has been a difficult task. To do this, plants of scarce varieties were taken to the tropics. The canes grown from these plants were brought here. From them young plants were produced superior to those imported from Europe, for the dracsena, though a mar- velously durable plant, is restive under the enforced confinement of a trans- Atlantic voyage. It is also probable that the young plants here are cooler grown than the European stock, and therefore more durable. The ambition to fill two large houses with dracffinas has been realized. This counts only the finished stock and not that in course of preparation. These two great houses of dracsnas are won- 'ierfully beautiful, a little in advance of anything accomplished in the past. They contain large numbers of the four leading varieties, amabilis, terminalis, Lord Wolseley and Massangeana. Be- sides these leading sorts, there are twenty-two others grown in quantities a little smaller. Kelleriana, the im- proved Godseffiana, highly prized for its beautiful markings, is one of the foremost. Stricta grandis is in the front ranks, because of its bold habit a"d rich coloring. An old sort, Bap- tistii, has been, considered worthy of rtMntroduction, while dear little San- •leriana has been propagated with such fiiinestness that it makes a brave show- |i'U. There are others, all excellent, '•'t make up a strikingly handsome '" ;'' farm at Westwood.

BOCHESTEB, N. T. The Market. In accordance with the usual sum- mer record, trade has been quite slack. The long drought caused many anxious moments, and unfortunately the rain (lid not come until much damage had been done. Probably nothing suffered more than the asters and gladioli. Many of the early varieties are spoiled entirely, but the later crops are quite l>romising. Large quantities of hardy phlox, golden glow and candytuft ar- rive daily. Sweet peas have also suf- fered and the supply is quite limited. Ijarge quantities of gladioli are on the market. Large shipments of Easter lilies are arriving and are cleared quite well. Valley is of good quality and is easily ilisposed of. Asters are not over- plentiful and good ones bring good prices. Carnations are poor. The new crop looks promising. The supply of roses is good, and the quality is fair. Few blooming plants are seen just now. The supply of greens is quite enough tor the present demand. Funeral and wedding orders are not at all rushing. Various Notes. n trip. '^''«s Bishop, of .L B. Keller Sons, . lust returned from her vacation, Mi '*' ^^^. ^P®"*^ ** Albany, X.

The quality of the stock is much better than that handled last year, although little rain fell during July and up to the present time. The supply of Beauties is in- creasing and the quality is excellent. The Killarneys are doing well and there are plenty of them on the mar- ket. These are holding their color well. Carnations are not considered in the way of cut flowers at present. Asters are in the lead. Of these, there are enough good ones to supply the de- mand, but the small, open-centered asters are not wanted at any price. The market is loaded with gladioli and prices are low, except for some that are exceptionally good. Various Notes. The Florists' Club held its meeting August 3, at the store of the Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co., with an attendance of twenty-eight members. Some subjects of big importance were discussed, which would have interested every florist if he had been there to take a part. A special meeting was called August 4, to decide 'the date on which a florists' picnic can be held. The place decided on was Mr. Cham- bler's grounds in Rosedale. T. A. Moseley was overcome by the heat August 4, but has fully recovered. He reports trade as good. The George M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co. entertained the Eagle florists while they were here at a convention, A visit was made to the Kellogg green- houses at Pleasant Hill. The prospects at the greenhouses are good. They have a fine lot of carnations, ros^s and chrysanthemums planted. Samuel Murray reports business good for this time of year. He is now at the greenhouses looking after his be- gonias and giving the greenhouses » general clean-up. Everything is in fine shape at present. Arthur Newell has been busy with out-of-town funeral work. Miss Mamie Klein, bookkeeper at the store, has just returned from her vacation, and Mr. McDonald has left for his home in Ohio for a few weeks' stay. The W. L. Rock Flower Co. is cut- ting some fine roses, gladioli and asters. They had a heavy run of fu- neral work the last two weeks. T. Noll & Co. have a large supply of Beauties, which are readily disposed of. Consignments of asters are coming in better shape. They also receive a fine lot of gladioli every day frona Kansas. Their business is steadily increasing. W. J. Barnes and A. Holtman, with their wives, left July 2o on an auto- mobile trip to St. Paul and Minne- apolis. They returned August 4, hav- ing covered 1,.'149 miles on that trip. W. J. B. OBITUARY. Zack Davis.

Mr. Davis had been ill for two weeks, although his condition did not become critical until the day of his death. Organic heart failure and a complication of diseases are given as the causes of his death. Mr. Davis was born in Wales and came to this country when 3 years old, having been a resident of Delaware county, O., since that time.

At the moment goldfish are one of the scarce items — and thousands of flower s^^tores find goldfish and canaries profit- able side lines. Edward Amerpohl, of Janesville, Wis., says the crops in his section of the coun- try never looked so good as now. He thinks it spells a winter of prosperity for all florists there. Neither the "Situation Wanted" nor the "Help Wanted" advertisements in The Review are running as heavy as they did last year at this time, indicat- ing less than the usual degree of unrest among the workers. All things considered, the florists' trade has come through the summer in excellent shape. There have been no important failures and not so many small ones as usually occur between Easter and autumn. Our good friend and philosopher, A. Jablonsky, has taken his pen in hand and is writing a series of letters to his son, who has left home to try the world on his own hook, the epistles being printed in the St. Louis County Herald, published at Wellston, Mo. The editor's desk has been adorned for several days by a vase of excellent asters, white, deep pink and lavender, sent by Fred Meyerhoefer, of Salem, O., who has been working at the trade for eight years and growing a patch of asters for market in his spare time, sav- ing his own seed and working up his early strain until it is extra good. 0{JE of the peculiar incidents of the last year is the way sentiment has swung in the matter of the Russell rose. The first crop cut last autumn brought back the money the growers had paid for the stock as a novelty. Then there began, in the winter, to be head shak- ings and doubts, but the wood was be- ing used for propagating. Since the young stock has begun to bloom nothing but praise has been heard for the rose. ANT SABOASM IN THIS? Will you kindly help me out by solv- ing the following? I noted in the Country Gentleman an article on the gladiolus, written by Maurice Fuld. The article told what a good market flower this is, and it also gave whole- sale prices on cut flowers. The article was for all, and encouraged everyone to grow the gladiolus. In another publica- tion for the amateur I happened on an article by Mrs. Austin, going Mr. Fuld one better, by encouraging the children to grow gladioli and telling all the little secrets. There are many such articles on other branches of our trade, such as dahlias, cornflowers, etc. Through all this popularity I found it a hard matter to sell stock to florists, as they stated the market was over- done. Would it not be -a grand oppor- tunity for. me to offer my entire stock of bulbs of thirty acres and advertise them in farm papers, magazines and newspapers at wholesale prices and sell to anyone who comes along? I think this a grand chance. Please answer through The Review. Hugo Kind. AID EDUCATIONAL GABDEN.

During the last few summers there has been a marked in- crease in the cut flower business in Chicago. The result has been a big increase in the production of stock, which has come at a time when general business has not been brisk. Prob- ably the flower business is about as good as it ever was in July and August, but the heavy increase in supplies makes for lower prices and an appear- ance of a dull market. The special feature of the week has been the difficulty of moving the gladioli. Early in the season, when it was seen how heavily the growers were buying bulbs, it was predicted that the quantity of cut flowers would exceed the needs of the market. The early part of the season did not bring in the cuts that had been anticipated and it was thought that perhaps the forebodings had been unwarranted, but now the supply is far ahead of re- quirements. Last week many of the commission houses instructed growers who produce nothing but gladioli to stop shipping, the idea being that con- signers who have greenhouses, and are shippers all the year around, were send- ing in enough gladioli to equal every demand, and that they should be given the benefit. For the first time in the history of this market it was, last week, impossible to sell all the America even by letting the buyers make the price. Those who can use moderate quantities at reasonable prices have made no great impression on the daily receipts, with the result that the greater part of the gladioli were left to be cleaned out by the job-lot buyers, who are not numerous at this season of the year. Recent rains have improved the quality of the stock. Asters are not cutting so much figure as they were a week ago. This has turned out a poor season for asters. There has been a fair demand for first- elMS stock, but most of the flowers have been of such low grade that it has been diflScult to do anything with them.,> The receipts this week are much lighter than they have been and there is a corresponding improvement in the av«rage quality. Evidently the grow- Announcement ^ On account of the war we are compelled to cancel all prices on articles imported from Europe.

There never has been a summer dur- ing which good Beauties have been so plentiful or sold so cheaply. Much of the stock now being cut is from young plants and the stems from 24-inch down are abundant. The retail stores that can do business in summer certainly can use this stock to advantage. Practically all varieties of roses are plentiful and the stock is of excellent quality for this time of year. Considerable quantities of outdoor carnations are seen in some of the wholesale houses, but they are of such poor quality that they do not command much respect. Giganteum lilies con- tinue abundant. Several houses have unusually large supplies of rubrums this summer. Until recently they have sold well, but right now it is difficult to move them in quantity. They call the rubrum lily the poor man's orchid, but the aristocrat, the cattleya, has not yet come into the usual August demand. It was to be expected that the call for orchids would be slow in July, as it always is, but ordinarily the demand picks up in August. The green goods market is quiet. There is no unusual demand for any GLADIOLI I can supply cut Gladioli now. E. E. STEWART BROOKLYN, MICH.

He regards it as unprecedented that Niagara and others of that class should have to be sold with the mixed lots. Frank M, Johnson, of the A. L.

Conditions are not any worse, however, than at this time in other years. It is well for us all to be serene and to have some one of good mana- gerial ability to attend strictly to busi- ness during this vacation season. Flowers for memorial purposes created the only noticeable demand last week. The most conspicuous of the seasonable flowers now are gladioli. '*vs- These can be bought at prices ranging ^ from $7.50 to $15 per thousand; in smaller quantities, $2 to $4 per hun- dred. Asters are next in prominence; they are plentiful, but there are only a few fancy ones, on account of the extreme drought. The better grades _aell at $1.50 to $3 per hundred and the ordinary ones at what they bring. This ^ " market is exceptionally fortunate in being supplied with an extra fine qual- ity of local grown roses; these find ready sale, because of their superiority to the shipped stock.

The war, the heat and the absence of flower buyers from home restricted the de- mand to mortuary orders and a few others. Asters and gladioli form the bulk of the supply. Asters are made up of some good and many poor. Gla- dioli are good indeed. Poor asters and good gladioli are about equally difficult to sell. Roses are a little less plenti- ful; white is short of requirements. Easter lilies are more abundant. Cat- tleyas are quite scarce. A few d hlias arrive daily. Philadelphia to Boston. It is certain that a large delegation will leave the Reading terminal at 2 p. m. Monday, August 17, for New York, there to take the Metropolitan line boat to Boston.

The August meeting of the Florists' Club was devoid of special feature, save for one important incident. It is doubtful whether any of the jolly crowd who enjoyed the tenpins and the shuffle- board, the beer and lemonade, noticed what occurred, or, if they did, gave it more than a passing thought. It was the fall of John Westcott. Historians have made even strong men shed tears with their graphic descrip- tions of the fall of Charles I, of Robes- pierre, and of Henry Clay. Surely it is a sacred duty to tell you of the fall of John Westcott! For twenty-eight years John West- cott has ruled the Florists ' Club. He generally decides who shall have the offices at the elections. He always de- cides how the club shall go to conven- tions. Everyone likes John Westcott; he is a thoroughly good fellow. The way he maltreated the transportation companies gave his friends keen de- light. Of course he had enemies, as every strong man has. Charles I had enemies; so had Robespierre; so had Henry Clay, but the way John West- cott swept his foes aside in the debat- ing battles on the clubroom floor was worth a trip over on a stormy meeting night to see. The fall of John Westcott came about in this way: Last year his power was shaken by a far-away commotion, but his hand was again seen in the October election, with its contest for the presidency. Two months ago John Westcott was placed, as he always is, on the transportation committee for the convention. Unhappily this com- mittee could not agree — a sure sign of waning power — and returned three dif- ferent reports. The club rejected all three recommendations at the July meeting and chose a diflferent route. John Westcott came to the August meeting, the time of his greatest tri- umph, sat through the routine business, 83 The Florists' Review Acaun 18, laii. aiaocai ac [^o: FLOWER BOXES which are appropriate, suggeBtive of their use, and harmonize with the quality of flowers papked, are looked for by particular florists, when purchasing their requirements in Folding Paper Boxes. s SEFTON [013 FOLDING CUT FLOWER AND CORRUGATED DESIGN STYLE BOXES have never been found wanting.

He was looking remark- ably well and spoke with vim and fire worthy of his best efforts. He taunted the opposition with commercialism, with lack of good-fellowship. He be- littled their achievements. He praised hia friends, told of what they had done for the club and, incidentally, men- tioned his own age. He looks younger. Then, with a burst of rhetorical fire- works, John Westcott took his iMt. The meeting instantly adjourned and the greatest political career of the Phil- adelphia Florists' Club passed into his- tory. Various Notes. Charles H. McKuMbin, of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., has returned from his vaca- tion at Atlantic City. Mr. McKubbin says his house's exhibit at the garden pier is in fine shape.

The weather was warm last week and trade was fairly good. However, fu- neral work made the bulk of the busi- ness. Flowers of nearly all kinds have been scarce. Gladioli are the only flow- ers which are at all abundant. Amer- ica gladioli are excellent and bring a fair price in the retail market. There are also good varieties in red, white and pink. Roses are much improved in quality, but the supply has been meager during the last two weeks. White Killarneys are excellent. Russells, Tafts, Wards and Marylands are in fine condition. Milady is improving in color and the blooms are becoming stronger. Sweet peas are of rather poor quality and the summer crop is nearing an end with some growers.

The trade is warned against a young man who has made his appearance in the New England States, who is representing himself as "Young Mr. Dreer." In one instance, on a plausible story, he secured the loan of some money from a brother florist. There is no such person as young Mr. Dreer, and William F. Dreer is not in the country at this time. August 10, 1914. HENRY A. DREER, Inc. Philadelphia, Pa. been visiting his uncle, Albert Holscher, previous to sailing for his native land. Louis J. Reuter, of S. J. Renter & Son, of Westerly, was a recent business visitor in New York. Friends of Ernest Carl and Matthew Macnair, both of whom are iu Europe, are anxious concerning them. T. J. Johnston & Co. are having the store redecorated in a combination of white and blue that is extremely effec- tive. L. A. Jillson is making an attractive display of dahlias cut on his own farm.

Cannon have incorpo- xated the Maplehurst Greenhouses of Longmeadow, with a capitalization of -$50,000. Alexander Cummings, Jr., of Hart- ford, has been taking a well-earned rest at Block Island. Mrs. John A. Macrae is in the hos- pital for a serious operation. Olney H. Williams, of Johnston, is on the invalid list as a result of • strain while lifting piping. Willis N. Pino is making an ex- tensive automobile trip through the west, his last letters being from De- troit. Albert Holscher has more than 40,000 'Chrysanthemum plants for next sea- son's supply. S. J. Reuter, of Westerly, who with his wife and daughter is in Germany, where he went several months ago for his health, saw service in the Franco- .Trussian war forty-four years ago. Edmund G. Brooke, Jr., of the T. J. Johnston & Co.j had a narrow escape from serious injury August 7. He at- tempted to pass between two electric cars that were going in opposite direc- tions, but his car was caught and crushed to ruins. Mr. Brooke crawled uninjured from beneath the wreckage. W. H.

There was a noticeable scarcity of orchids in the local market last week and this was made more pronounced by the funeral of Mrs. Wilson, wife of the President. Plenty of roses are to be had, although in the main the flowers are small. Some good Amer- ican Beauty roses from the north are to be had. Lily of the valley is good and in fair demand. Easter lilies, which are rather shorter in supply than they have been, are exceptionally good for the reason that they are being shipped in the bud and there are fewer bruised flowers. Good Augusta, King and America gladioli are to be had, but the supply has slackened up some- what. Gardenias are not overplentiful. Club Meeting. A display of Gladiolus Snow King, made by John Lewis Childs, of Flower- field, N. Y., was awarded a certificate of merit by the Florists ' Club at its August meeting. The main topic of the even- ing's discussion was the coming con- vention at Boston and a list of names obtained showed that fully seventy-five people from this city will make the trip. Among these will be Capt, Wil- liam H. Ernest, George C. Shaffer, George Daglish, Harry Lewis, Samuel Simmons, George H. Cooke and Eobert McLennan, who form the club's bowl- ing team. A vote of thanks was given to Wil- liam F. Gude and wife for the hospi- tality accorded the members, their FLOWERS delivered prompUy in Buffalo, Niagara Falls, East Aurora, Lockport, Tonawanda, Lancaster and other Western New York cities and towns. 304 Main Street BUFFALO, N,Y.

The flower show to be held early in November at the Old Masonic Temple was also brought up and the committee, composed of Fred H. Kramer, chair- man, William F. Gude and R. L. Jen- kins, reported on the project. Many new features are to be introduced. The applications of C. A. Jackson, landscape gardener at the Walter Beed hospital, a government institution, and Frank H. Bailey were turned over to a special membership committee. Richard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md., was present and spoke on the William R. Smith memorial, his remarks being supplemented by Mr. Gude. Various Notes. Wesley Clark and wife spent last week here while on a vacation trip. Mr. Clark is connected with the Phila- delphia house of S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. Local florists are wondering what they will do about their foreign stock. Those who have placed orders in Hol- land believe they have little chance of receiving the goods. However, one con- cern here which has ordered 25,000 nar- cissi does not seem to care whether these materialize or not, in view of the limited profit resulting last season. The war scare has had the effect of keeping some of the Washington florists from joining with the Baltimoreans in making the trip to the convention of the S. A. F. via the boat Howard, as was originally intended. Many will go by train. Twelve Gudes will swell the numbers. C, L. Jenkins & Sons, of Anacostia, CINCINNATI E. G. HILL FLORAL CO.

The other houses have been put in first-rate order and cement benches have been installed in all. They are just beginning to market some fine Queen of the Market asters. M. J. McCabe has gone to New York city to visit relatives. From there he will go to Boston to attend the con- vention and will make several short trips about that city. Henry Witt, of Silver Hill, Md., has erected a new house, 32x100 feet, fitted with concrete benches, which he will devote to sweet peas. He reports that his cyclamens, begonias and primroses, of which he makes a specialty, are com- ing along nicely. C. L. L. BOSTON. The Market. There is no change for the better ill cut flower trade, which is at an ex- tremely low ebb. The cutting off of practically all trans-Atlantic steamers has killed what was proving to be a remunerative branch of the business. Shipping trade to holiday resorts con- tinues away below the average, and, apart from a few weddings, there was little doing last week. Asters are ar- riving in larger numbers and the prices have dropped considerably. The quality is excellent. Queen of the Market is the leading variety, but a good many Comet also are seen. Gladioli from outdoors are much more plentiful, the hot weather of the last few days having pushed them along. King and America sell better than other sorts. Rosea are mostly short-stemmed and poor in quality. Whites continue most in demand. The yellow varieties are all inferior. Such carnations as still come are small, and the demand for them is light. Cornflowers sell mod- erately, and there is a good sale for good sweet peas. Lilies are abundant and good, with a light demand; the same holds true of valley.

Cattleyas are shortening up, but the call for orchids is poor. Green stock meets with a slow sale. Summer Exhibition. The finest summer show seen here for years was that staged at Horticultural hall August 8 and 9, and it was a thousand pities that such an exhibition could not have been arranged for con- vention week, as it would have proved a refreshing change from the Mechanics hall trade show. Fancy caladiums, phloxes, gladioli, asters, buddleias and herbaceous plants were the great features of the show, which filled the main and small exhi- bition halls, loggia and rotunda. In the gladiolus classes Chamberlain & Gage, William Sim and George Page, gardener for Mrs. Frederick Ayer, won the leading honors. Chamberlain & Gage's basket of myrtle, which won first for best hamper or basket, was a beauty. William Sim had a grand col- lection, showing Lilly Leaman, HoUan- dia, Halley and Kunderi Glory, extra fine. John Lewis Childs had a nice dis- play. His new Whitest White received honorable mention. B. Hammond Tracy had a large collection, tastefully ar- ranged. There were also gladiolus dis- plays from Miss H. A. Biordan and others. In the perennial phlox classes pre- miums went to F. J. Rea, T. C. Thur- low's Sons, Bay State Nurseries, East- ern Nurseries and M. Sullivan, gardener for William Whitman. The quality was Orders solicited for all parts of Connecticut. Hartford, Conn.

Proctor, of Topsfield, had a magnificent collection of fancy caladiums, hundreds of plants in over 125 varieties arranged artistically in beds to represent a garden scene. A circular bed in the center contained a pool of water, with fountains playing. Among a host of beautiful sorts, these were grandly colored: Lady Moseley, Noakesii, Araras, candidum, President de la Devansaye, Eio de Janeiro, Mons. Alfred Bleu, Baron Adolph de Eoths- child, General Kuroki and Sir Julian Goldschmid. This display was awarded a gold medal, and Mr. Marlborough re- ceived a silver medal for superior cul- ture. The Mount Desert Nurseries received a silver medal for a grand collection of aconitums; also certificates of merit for the new astilbes, June and Silver White. They also had grand vases of A.

An attendance of at least 1,500 is expected on this trip. For the ladies ' outing to north shore resorts, August 20, about seventy-five automobiles will be used, possibly more. All ladies con- nected with the society, both visitors and local, will be carried free. W. E. Nicholson is organizing a bowl- ing team to represent Boston in the bowling contest and has a good list of sports prepared. Only S. A. F. members can compete in the events for men, but the ladies' and children's classes will be open to anyone. As only three hours are to be allotted to sports, the events will need to be pushed through with expedition. The Baltimore delegation, due here August 17, will be taken on a sight- seeing tour to places of historic interest. They will also see Boston's beautiful boulevards and parkways. A number who hoped to attend the convention are marooned in Europe, and exhibits for the trade show, of both bulbs and sundries, are similarly held up. However, in spite of all drawbacks, we look for the best convention ever. Visitors who may think Boston is a somewhat small city should remember that while the city proper has only 675,000 people, greater Boston has over 1,500,000, and within fifty miles of the state house we have 3,470,000 people, more by half a million than either Chi- cago or Philadelphia can show in a sim- ilar circuit. A good delegation of members of the National Association of Gardeners are coming to the convention, headed by M. C. Ebel. The S. A. F. management should either change the hour they have allotted for the N. A. G. meeting or that for A. E. Thatcher's paper on VANCOUVER, B. C. R. C. McNaughton & Co.

At present the two are ar- ranged for the same hour, which makes a divided meeting a certainty. The question of affiliation so far is not favorably received locally, but local club members are willing to hear all possible arguments for affiliation before voting "No." Various Notes. William K. Nicholson is planting his last house of carnations this week. He .never had finer plants; some carry as many as thirty shoots each. Of the new varieties, Matchless, Philadelphia and Champion are splendid; so is Pink Delight, among the older sorts. Car- nations here have been planted out on the same ground for many years, but by sowing down and plowing in humus crops in the shape of winter rye and cowpeas, the soil is kept in excellent condition. Harry Quint is away on a vacation this week. He is doing a good business at his new stand, 199 Tremont street, and will have his store completely equipped with new showcases, etc., by September 1. Visitors the present week include R. C. Berckmans, of Augusta, Ga.; Miss M. A. Clark, of Ellsworth, Me., and John Young, of New York. W. R.

Careful attention to packing for deliveries to all Southern and Middle States. ius Heurlin, of the Blue Hill Nurseries, South Braintree, reached Paris just before the declaration of war. He had engaged passage home on the S. S. Amerika for next week, but that boat is now laid up in Boston and will prob- ably stay there until the war closes. Penn's duck farm remains as potent an attraction as ever on Bromfield street. The window is always crowded with interested spectators. Thomas F. Galvin last week planted a fine carpet bed in the convention garden. The bed of standard and dwarf heliotropes from the W. W. Edgar Co., dotted with speciosum lilies, is charm- ing at present. F. E. Palmer's bed is also fine. C. B. Johnson, who bought Arthur Griffin's place at Woburn some time ago, has most of his carnations housed. His two new houses will largely in- crease his output for the coming season. The windows of Wax Bros., on Tre- mont street, are always refreshing to look upon. They^are now using gladi- oli, salpiglossis, aquatics and lilies to good advantage. About half of their staff are now away on vacations. The asters and Shasta daisies now coming in from Gustave Olson, of Wo- burn, are equal to the best seen in the market. Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham, still brings in a goodly number of car- nations. He carries his plants late, and, by putting on a big force, gets his houses emptied, refilled and planted in a comparatively short time. He will plant several thousand Matchless this season. Norris F. Comley secured first and second prizes for cucumbers at the exhi- bition in Horticultural hall August 8 and 9. He showed the new cucumber, ST. LOUIS, MO.

The Market. Business is nothing extra just now; still, there is a little to do, especially of funeral work. Flowers are scarce and of rather poor quality. Boses are small and asters are scarce. Gladioli are good. Of carnations there are none. Our long drought has just been broken by a good shower. Various Notes. The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. has the roses, carnations and mums all in and growing well. They are cutting some nice Kaiserin and My Maryland. The two new houses are finished and planted. One house is planted to roses and the other to smilax, Sprengeri, etc. Julius Niednagel & Sons' roses are coming along finely. They have the carnations all planted. Their mums are in fine condition. Emil Niednagel, John Niednagel and C. L. Niednagel motored to Vincennes, Ind., Sunday, August 2, on a pleasure trip. ' C. L. JJiednagel has his roses in good shape. He has been marketing a good crop of tomatoes from his field. J. C. Elspermann and wife have re- turned from their trip to Chicago.

That there will be considerable delay in de- liveries no one doubts. This delay may be serious to a grower of bulbs, especially if he wants flowers at any par- ticular time. Many trans-Pacific steam- ers have been withdrawn from the service, and on ac- count of this disturbance in shipping, it may be advisable for you to put in a few extra cases of Lilium Formosum this year. You can get good bulbs from us at our usual prices — if you order them now. Sizes in stock are 7 to 9, 8 to 9, 8 to 10 and 9 to 10. Good, healthy, dependable bulbs.

There is, then, the probability that America will be called on to use, late in the season, some portion of the crop ordinarily used in Germany, England, France and Russia. A cable from the Holland-America line at Rotterdam states that in the cargo of the Nieuw Amsterdam, which sailed August 8, is a large quantity of bulbs and American officers of the line reiterate their statement that they expect to maintain their weekly sail- ings and to handle the bulbs as usual. August Bontoux, president of the International Forwarding Co., Chicago, states that he has advices that three carloads of bulbs consigned to his com- [»any, are on the Nieuw Amsterdam. He also has the assurance of his agents at Rotterdam that, later shipments will come along as usual. SOME DUTCH BULBS HEBE. Although the present condition of ocean transportation makes the time and amount of future receipts of Dutch bulbs a matter of conjecture, there are a few already here.

The Florists' Review BODDINGTON'S "QUALITY" CHRISTMAS-FLOWERING Sweet Peas WE ARE SUPER-HEADQUARTERS All true stocks of Winter- flowerins Sweet Peas will again be scarce this season. The winter-flow- ering Spencer types are almost a total failure, owing to the exceptional season in California this spring, and through the ravages of Aphis we regret that we are unable to offer any seed, with the following exceptions. Our advloe to IntendlnB planter* Is to order at onoe. Mote re- vised prices. The Sensational Australian Spencer Winter-flowering Sweet Pea, Yarrawa We have been fortunate enough to secure a small Quantity of this wonderful new Spencer Winter- flowering Sweet Pea from the raiser, Arthur Yates, of Sidney, and now offer it for the first time in America. It is far superior to the prevailing Spencer types— the flowers being exceptionally large and well fluted and waved; in color it is almost a duplicate of Countess Soencer, a delight- ful light soft rose, which lights up beautifully at night. We offer this original stock till sold . for trial, at $1.00 per trade pkt.; S trade pkts. for $2.75. QAQC nilCEII "HOSE QUEEN" is Orchid- flowering, borne on long stems, extremely free nU vC UUCbll and early and of pink color most attractive: is a decided acquisition, and, like all meritorious novelties, is sure to be in demand wherever grown.

ILL perts estimate that the quantity will not exceed that of last year, while at other points there is the usual reduc- tion in the crop. The harvest at Louis- ville, once a leading producing point, this year does not greatly exceed 40,000 bushels, as compared with 100,000 bushels last year. One operator speaks of the crop there as ' ' deplorable. ' ' The southern Ohio territory does not pro- duce anything like the old-time quan- tity of sets and there has been no in- crease in Pennsylvania or the west to compensate in any large part for the reduced production in the valley of the Ohio. As a result, owners of sets have taken a firm attitude. FRENCH BULBS ABBIVINQ.

BOCKY FOBD BECOVEBS. The blow administered to seed crops at Rocky Ford, Colo., which were cut down by hail, appears to have come early enough in the season so that re- planting saved the day. A. W. Creager, president of the Ebbert Seed Co., said, August 10: ' ' The seed crops in this locality have recovered extremely well from the dam- age received by hail. Having had fa- vorable growing weather, with plenty of moisture, the seed crop harvested will be close to normal." THE EUBOPEAN SEEDS. Conditions arising out of the war in Europe do not appear, this week, so alarming as they did a few days ago. Probably the change is more a state of mind than anything else, for hostilities have not developed anything of a deci- sive nature and means of communica- tion are so fully occupied with mili- tary affairs that efforts to get in touch by cable usually are fruitless. But anxiety gradually is being allayed. A taking of stock shows that the prompt arrival of the new crop is not so urgent as was at first thought. More and more each year, it seems, the trade depends on yearling seeds, the new crop not making its way through the some- what devious commercial channels in season to meet the needs of the early planters. Also, it seems probable that the English, French and Holland seeds will come dribbling along, not on time but none the less surely. Cable advices to the daily press indicate that the English government is looking to the conservation of all agricultural re- sources and that general business is set- tling down to something approaching normal. Shipping is moving in the North sea. In France a much larger part of the population than in England has been called to arms and the rail- roads have thus far been used solely for the moving of men and equipment. France is, apparently, undertaking the war with greater enthusiasm than any of the other nations. The German fleet seems to be fully occupied in protect- ing the ports of that country and it is probable that shipping between Eng- land, France and America soon will proceed much as usual. Holland re- mains neutral, although its army has mobilized, and the Rotterdam boats are rufining. The sailings have been de- layed by the general upsetting of rail- road transportation. The Holland- America line says it will bring to this country promptly anything that the seed and bulb growers are able to de- liver to the dock. The view obtains that a larger part of the Dutch bulb crop than usual will find its way to America this season unless Holland is forced to abandon its neutrality. Germany, of course, is for the mo- ment cut off from communication. No- body can more than guess what is going on there. But it seems probable that the major part of the seed crops will be saved and that they will be avail- able to America next season, when On« of Our Prize-Winn«r Panciet Johnson's Choice Strain of ) Prize-Winner Pansies Flowers are of immense size, distinct colors and perfect shape.

Roses an ex- tremely scarce and are of poor qu Uty. Carnations have been about equ il to the demand, with occasional shoiiages in some localities. Asters are coming more freely and are improvel in quality. Customers are gladly tuming to asters, as the small summer carna- tions are not satisfactory. Sweet peas continue good and are to be hjui in abundance. Various Notes. The Spokane Greenhouses, Inc., say that, from all appearances, they will be cutting a good crop of roses in a few weeks. Several benches of carnations which were cut back and are being car- ried over are now throwing a good crop of flowers of fine quality and color, The firm's gloxinias have been excep- tionally good. They had a big batch of azaleas left from last winter and these are being carried over in fine shape. They are expecting that the probable shortage of azaleas from Bel gium, occasioned by the European war, will make these as valuable as a small gold mine. At the annual sweet pea show, con- ducted under the auspices of the ladies of the First Universalist church, a handsome display of flowers was shown. A. J. Burt, Carl T. Kipp and Henry E. Reimers, who judged the show, pro- nounced the exhibit, as regards variety, quality and artistic arrangement, of j extraordinary excellence. Mr. Burt it was one of the finest displays of ^^ sweet peas grown by amateurs that he ^B . had ever seen. He calls the vicinity ^B . about Spokane an ideal country ^c^^H] sweet peas, asters and dahlias. ^1, Miss Graharh, of the store force of | Portland, Ore. — L. C. Shearer, for- merly at Rockford, 111., is starting a new establishment here. He has two houses of half -iron construction. He is now busy benching chrysanthemums. Spokane, Wash.— C. T. Kipp, presi- dent of the Spokane Florist Co., has taken a 3-year lease on the store at the Sprague avenue entrance to the new Davenport hotel. He plans to operate this as a branch of the River- side store. Portage, Wash.— A fire, one-half mile wide, in the brush near here was the cause of alarm at the greenhouses of F. W. Bibbins recently. The blaze was headed for his establishment and re- quired the efforts of fire fighters day and night to head it off. Tacoma, Wash.— The Hayden-Wat- son flower store was opened August 1 at 938 South C street. This concern represents the union of the two retail stores conducted separately by the two members of the new firm. The store is up to the minute in style and furnish- ings, and is one of the best in this sec- tion. Seattle, Wash.— The first annual show of the Pacific Coast Dahlia Society will be held in the National Guard armory September 18 and 19. Prep- arations are extensive and members of the society, most of whom are ama- teurs, are enthusiastic over the out- look. Among the judges for the show is Thomas Wylie. SPRAY FOE TAENISH BUO. Growers who have tried every for- mula suggested to rid their plants of the tarnish bug, without success, will welcome the news that a florist of Portland, Ore., has a spray which will clean out this pest in a short time. A. Hallett, who has a range at Seventy- ninth street and Forty-fifth avenue, de- clares it beats anything he has ever tried in his forty years' experience as a grower. His aster and chrysanthe- mum plants were thickly infested with the tarnish bug and leaf-miner until he tried this remedy, which destroyed them at once. Later experiments proved its success with red spider and black aphis as well. The spray, which is the result of many experiments in this line on the part of Mr. Hallett, consists of cyanide of potassium, brown sugar and water. Earthen vessels should be used for mix- ing and keeping the insecticide. Three heaping teaspoonfuls of cyanide of po- tassium and one pound of brown sugar are placed in a bowl, and over them is poured a quart of boiling water. When these are thoroughly mixed, enough cold water is added to make two gal- lons of spraj'. This will cover a solid bed of asters 50x50 feet. One pound of cyanide of potassium and thirtv pounds of brown sugar will make sixty gallons of insecticide. In order to get the best results from this spray, the plants should be as dry as possible; if they are in a wilted condition, so much the better, for they will then absorb the liquid so much I sold oT«r 85,000 obrysantbamiuu plants this ■•aaon on my l-lnoh ad In the Pacific Coast Department of Tbe Revlevr. Of course that paid me well and I am very pleased. Tou will bear from me acaln as soon as I can work up stock.— Frank WUbelm, R. F. D. Mo. 8,' Los Anceles, Cal., June 18, '14. the better and take more poison into the plant, to the ultimate fatal detri- ment of the tarnish bug and other pests. Mr. Hallett states that when he began the use of the spray there were thousands of grasshoppers among his plants, but that two days afterward he could not see any. For the tarnish bug it is necessary to spray several times to get rid of the pest and con- tinue the use of the insecticide about once a week to keep the bugs away, as they come from other sources, which cannot be controlled. The poison is absorbed by the plants with the sweet liquid, and when the tarnish bug pierces the stems it draws out the poison — and expires. It should be remembered that inasmuch as cya- nide of potassium is so deadly a poison it should not be used on vegetables or any crop that may be used as food, for the leaves will contain enough poison to cause the death of the consumer.

Monrovia begins to flower when only about one foot high and coniinues to bloom profusely until it reaches 8 feet high outdoors. It will make a splendid greenhouse variety, as the buds do not drop under any conditions The color is a deep purple outside, inside heliotrope, and it is un- questionably the finest winter-bloomlDg parple in existence. The seed has been carefully re- selected from large pods only. It was gathered in April and May in the foothill section, and is consequently mature and of high germinating power. It is an exceptionally stout grower and throws long stemmed flowers all through the season, four to six flowers to the stem. This offer will be withdrawn as soon as present stock is exhausted. C. A.

The re- moval of the oflBce from the front of the store to the center makes it quieter and gives much additional room. A 7-year-old nephew of H. N. Gage met with a sudden death at Long Beach. The little fellow had been bathing and went to the roof to hang out his suit. An air shaft with a de- fective cover was the cause of his death; he fell four stories. Mr. Gage has gone to Texas with the boy's mother for the funeral. The boy was one of twins. Prank Walter, who is well known as a gatherer of choice native and other seeds, has left San Diego and now lives in Los Angeles. He has a most inter- esting folio of photos of all kinds of trees and shrubs, as well as dried .■specimens. Among the funeral pieces at Morris Goldenson 's this week was a fine pall of pink sweet peas and Silver Pink .snapdragons, a pretty combination. A week or two away from the rose ■growing establishment of H. W. Turner shows a wonderful difference in the young stock. It has probably never been cleaner or made a better growth than this season and it certainly has never been more interesting, owing to the number of novelties being grown. The lovely pink sport of Prima Donna easily outshines them all, though, and September Morn, as Mr. Turner has named it, will surely be a world beater. It is the most exquisitely tinted pink ever sent out, while its petalage is, if anything, better than that of its par- ent. The petals have also the beautiful serrated edge of those of Prima Donna. The older propagating houses have now been removed to make way for various other buildings. It is rumored that R. W. Saakes is leaving his Main street location, where he has been so many years, for one on Broadway, opposite Hamburger's store. The subject at the August meeting of the Los Angeles County Horticul- tural Society, held in Kruckeberg's hall, August 4, was "Growing Gladi- oli," by C. E. Houdyschell, of Lords- burg. Mr. Houdyschell has been raising seedling gladioli, irises and other plants for some years and has a pleasant man- ner of speaking. He took his audience through all the phases of the work of growing and storing the bulbs, besides giving the history of many crosses, and was awarded a rising vote of thanks at the end of his speech. Bills for the picnic were presented and ordered paid. In the absence of Secretarj' Krucke- berg, Mrs. Miller, our only lady mem- ber at present, read the minutes and carried out the duties of secretarj'. The drowning at Bimini baths of the son of Fire-chief Eley, of this city, was a sad event, but the respect in which Mr. Eley is held was shown by the enormous quantity of funeral pieces made. J. M. Grant, the newly appointed countj' forester for Orange county, is already winning golden opinions from the board of forestry and the inhab- itants. He has already over 20,000 young stock planted out in the nursery and many more thousands ready to plant. All his Los Angeles friends wish him well. H. R. Richards. We are all sold out.

Notice has been filed of the dissolu- tion of the Indianapolis Forest & Nur- sery Co., of Indianapolis. F. W. Kelsey, head of the F. W. Kel- sey Nursery Co., New York city, and his wife are among the Americans stranded in Europe. At the annual meeting of the Texas State Horticultural Society, at College Station, Tex., J. H. Arbenz, of Sarita, was reelected president. TpE Phoenix Nursery Co., at Delavan, Wis., has been purchased by W. J. Moxley. William Moore, for years the foreman at the nurseries, will retain his position under the new ownership. A large greenhouse will probably be built soon and some other improvements made. The nurserymen's representative oh the committee which is to memorialize the Texas state legislature for the pur pose of obtaining a state arboretum and botanical garden is F. T. Eamsey, of Austin. The other members of the com- mittee, which was chosen at the confer- ence at College Station, Tex., July 28, are the state commissioner of agricul- ture; I. M. Lewis, of the University of Texas; E. J. Kyle, of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, and B. Young- blood, director of experiment stations. Lloyd C. Stark, vice-president and gen- eral manager of the Stark Bros. Nurser- ies & Orchards Co., of Louisiana, Mo., is being championed in the House of Eepresentatives by Speaker Clark in his efforts to reenter the navy with the rank of lieutenant of junior grade. When Mr. Stark left the navy several years ago on account of the ill health of his father and the death of his uncle. State Senator Eugene Stark, to taka charge of the business, he had attained the rank of ensign. His record in the service and at Annapolis was an excellent one; and the only bar to his reentrance to the navy as lieutenant is the objection of Repre- sentative Mann, the minority leader, who believes a law should cover all such cases. ORNAMENTAL QSOWEBS MEET. The Ornamental Growers' Association held its annual meeting at Boston, Au- gust 4 to 6, with headquarters at the Hotel Bellevue. About forty members of the association were in attendance. The greater part of the time was given over to tours of inspection of the nurser- ies in the neighborhood of Boston. On the first day the Bay State. Nurseries, at North Abington, waa^ among others, visited. The following day an auto- mobile trip through Lexington, Concord and Framingham was made. The grounds of the Breck-Eobinson Nursery Co., at Lexington; the New England Nurseries, at Bedford, and the Framing- ham Nurseries, at South Framingham, were inspected, and the party dined at the Russell House, in Lexington, as the guests of the Breek-Eobinson Nursery Co. The officers of the association are: President, R. C. Berckmans, of Augusta, Ga.; vice-president, William Pitkin, of You may discontinu* our adver- tisement, at we are through with our spring shipments, but we will give you another order for fall, as THE RESULTS from the one for spring HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFAC- TORY.— Franklin Davis Nursery Co., Baltimore, Md., May 19. 1914. Rochester, N. Y., and secretary-treas- urer, C. J. Maloy, of Rochester, N. Y. Among the local members of the asso- ciation who were responsible for the enjoyable entertainment provided were: W. H. Wyman, of the Bay State Nurs- eries; A. E. Robinson, of the Breck- Robinson Nursery Co.; Harlan P. Kel- sey, of the Highlands Nursery, and John Kirkegaard, of the New England Nurseries. The next meeting place will be New York city. JONES TO MEET OBLIGATIONS. Owing to the complete breakdown of Hiram T. Jones, proprietor of the Union County Nurseries, at Elizabeth, N. J,, following nearly a year of ill health, his wife, Mrs. Rachel R. W. Jones, is taking charge, in the expectation of straightening out his affairs and, after the obligations have been met, of clos- ing out the business, as Mr. Jones is not likely to be able to conduct it again himself. Creditors are, there- fore, being asked for two years' time; notes are to be given for fifty per cent of the indebtedness for one year with interest, and for the remainder notes for two years with interest will be given. By this means time will be given to sell the nursery stock of the concern at normal prices through the regular market. This will be sufficient to meet all the obligations, as the debts amount to about $28,000, while the stock is appraised at about $34,000. Equity in the real estate amounts to approximately $13,500, and personal property raises the total of Mr. Jones' assets to $51,000. By caring for the nursery stock for the next two years and disposing of it in the regular chan- nels and by providirfg for carrying on the business from her own resources, Mrs. Jones expects, with the agreement of the creditors to her plan, to satisfy them all d!nd close out the business. Elmer Runyan, president of the Eliza- beth Nursery Co., of the same city, is assisting Mrs. Jones in her endeavor. WOOLLY APHIS ON MAPLES. I have a double row of fairly large maples that are in the condition of the specimen sent under separate cover. Can you tell me how to clean them up? The stems and foliage are covered with woolly aphis. To destroy this, spray thoroughly with kerosene emul- sion, whale oil soap, nicotine, or any one of the various soap, oil or other sprays advertised. Use at advertised strength, but it would do no harm to make the mixture thirty-three to fifty per cent stronger at this time, when foli- age is well ripened. Use a fine, misty spray nozzle and wet every portion of wood and foliage. Choose a clear, warm day for the operation. C. W. PERMANENT PROFITS. The nurseryman who is looking to- wards building up a business that is solid financially is concerned today not so much with the question of produc- tion as with that of marketing. An irresponsible class that is present in every line of business has made the ears of the public familiar with such phrases as "cut prices" and "bar- gains," and the din of these words has to a large extent drowned out those nurs- erymen whose first consideration has I solicit an opportunity to figure on contracts for CAUFORNU PRIVET HEDGING For the coming Autumn and next Spring's sales I have to ofifer over a half million California Privet, consisting of two years old in 1^2 to 2 feet, 2 to 3 feet and 3 to 4 feet; three years in 3 to 4 feet, and one year in 12 to 18 inches and iHj to 2 feet grades. The two and three year grades were carefully cut back the past Spring, are well branched and strictly flrst-class. I am prepared to ofifer exceedingly attractive prices, especially in car- load lots. Being the introducer of the California Privet as a hedge plant away back in the early seventies, it is perhaps not claiming too much to say I am headquarters for it. J. T.

ILL Mention The ReTlew wnen yoo write. been of quality and reliability, rather than of price. But in spite of P. T. Bamum's celebrated assertion that the public likes to be humbugged, people wake up sooner or later to the fact that low prices mean low quality in the end; they do not like to be hum- bugged along the same line all the time. It is not hard to convince buyers whose previous purchases of stock have not come up to their expectations that the expenditure of a little more money would have proved a greater saving in the end. The way to put the business on a permanently profitable basis is, therefore, to educate the buying pub- lic to an appreciation of the value, financial and otherwise, of first-rate quality and of reliability. The buyers must be made to forget the phrases of the irresponsible sellers whose sole idea was to get money while they had the chance, without a thought to the good of their business or their fellow- tradesmen's business in after years. Make quality the first consideration of the public, not price. Various steps have been taken in this direction and one of the best is the usel of the reading columns of the various' agricultural papers throughout the country. An article entitled "First- class Nursery Stock, " by J. W. Stuben- rauch, the nurseryman of Mexia, Tex., which appeared in Farm and Eanch, an agricultural journal of Texas, for July 25, was an effort along this line. The opening statement, that " 'strictly first- class' trees could not be produced and sold at current prices of nowadays and leave the nurseryman any profit what- ever," serves as a text for a sermon ■ ^ie»»i— ^awigi* ^■■■^■1^1 Pi| >■■■■■ ■■■■till ^■—■iWIg' At the Convention „. * watch out for the * Badge of the Swastika Canna Mr. Wintzcr and I will be there to show and tell you about the truly wonderful Cannas of the Cooard & Jones development.

By explaining ,.J;he difference in the meth- ods of growing really good stock and those of producing stuff that will sell under the same name as the good stock, the article impresses on the reader the fact that ' * the best is none too good, ' * nor, at the same time, any too expen- sive. Once let the public be made thoroughly familiar with this idea, by the means here mentioned or any other, and the day of the "bargain" will be over and the nursery business a more profitable one. TO KILL TREE BOBEBS. My fruit, pin oak and ash trees are severely attacked by borers. Will you oblige me by telling the best method of destroying them or driving them away? T. J. Eun a piece of galvanized wire up the holes until you reach and kill the borers. You can also suffocate them by injecting a little carbon bisulphide into the holes and plugging up the holes at once with putty. Do not pile manure around the trunks of your fruit trees, as this makes an excellent harbor for the pests. Keep, if possible, a ring of eultivated ground around each tree and keep this well stirred. Encourage in- sectivorous birds, which will destroy quantities of these pests. C. W. PESTS COLLECTED IN JUNE. June was the off month of the year with the federal horticultural inspectors, judging from the horticultural board's report of pests collected from incoming consignments of stock during that month. The total number of infested shipments found during the month was barely over 200, and these included not only shipments of nursery stock but of every other conceivable representative of the plant kingdom that is listed in our country's imports. Belgium's ship- ments brought the largest number of pests of any one country, seventy-nine, and practically every one on palms and bay trees. Considering the extent of this country's exports of these two stocks, this number is not surprising. Second in number of pests was Colom- bia, but all of the cases from this coun- try were on orchids. The District of Columbia was the busiest spot for the inspectors, and sixty-five cases are re- ported in that district. New York, New Jersey and California stood next in line, with twenty-five, twenty-two and twen- ty respectively.

Business is, on the whole, decidedly slow. About every so often, during the last week, there were good spurts, but they were of short duration and did not do much to bring up the total for the week. The supply is large and prices low. On some of the shipments, the wholesalers were fortunate if the cost of express could be obtained. The best quality, 6f course, yielded fair re- turns. Gladioli and asters continue in large supply. Giganteum lilies are abundant. The rose cut continues large and includes many blooms of really good quality. These, however, find a slow market. The supply of Beauties is sufficient for all demands. Good aura- tum and rubrum lilies are offered. The few carnations that come in meet with an indifferent call. Hardy hydrangeas are excellent, but the demand varies. The green goods supply is sufficient to meet all demands. Various Notes. The effect of the European war on the staple lines in European-made goods and supplies is not worrying C. E. Critchell, for with his policy of always keeping stock up-to-date, he has suffi- cient quantities to last for some time. E. {jr. Gillett reports that the public is beginning to realize what a good summer rose Shawyer is. Mr. Gillett receives this variety from F. Benthey & Co., New Castle, Ind. Frank & Sons, of Portland, Ind., are shipping some fine Maryland to L. H. Kyrk. Mrs. P. J. Olinger, after a long stay in the hospital, expects to return home August 15. Congratulations upon her recovery are in order, as Mrs. Olinger put up a long fight against big odds. The engagement of Clarence Peter- son to Miss Mary Critchell has been announced. It is said the ceremony will take place shortly. J. F. Keller, of Lexington, Ky., was in the city last week. C. H. H.

Sr^ cents per foot of glass. It is estimated there are 106,000,000 square feet of glass in use in greenhouses in the United States, and a similar loss on this glass total would equal the enormous sum of $4,725,000. How much of this loss do you contribute every year? The saving was actual and positive. What one man can do every man can do. Let us show you how to do it. When 30 below zero, in March last, 33 well pleased florists wired us their satisfaction with the working of our boilers. Let us send you copy of their telegrams. WRITE FOR CATALOGUE AND SPECIAL OFFER (1IBLIN&CO.101 Broad Street UnCA,N.Y. ^!»W «6 The Florists' Iteview August 13, 1914. that a curtailment of production due to the departure of workers and an in- creased sale abroad would limit the supply of coal available to the west. Some foresighted retailers have bought a little additional coal. The situation has been enough to confirm the new circular price of $1.40." QUANTITY OF FUEL. I have four houses, each 20x150, with 3-foot sides and glass gables. The houses are well built and tight. With a good hot water system, what should be the temperature of the water at the boiler to keep the houses at a tem- perature of 48 degrees, with the ther- mometer registering 20 degrees outside and no wind? Under such weather conditions, about how many pounds of coal should be required to keep the water at the desired temperature dur- ing the night, using good coal? About how many pounds of coal and what temperature of water would be neces- sary to secure the same results on a night when the outside temperature is 10 degrees above zero? I am located in Delaware. C. O. It is not possible to give a definite answer to the questions asked, as it would depend upon various conditions, such as the size of the boiler, the num- ber and size of the flow and return pipes and the character of the firing. Thus, with a large boiler with a few medium sized pipes, and an elevated expansion tank or a closed system, the water might be kept above 212 degrees by heavy firing, while with a small boiler and a large area of large pipes, the temperature might be 100 degrees or less, especially if the fires were not pushed. If the radiation and boiler are prop- erly adjusted to the size of the houses, the boiler should have a rating of about 5,000 square feet, and each house should be heated by three 2%-inch flow pipes and six 2-inch returns, except the one with glass in the side wall, which should have an additional return. Piped in this way, there should be no difficulty in keeping the water in the flow pipes above 180 degrees and in the returns above 140 degrees, with an open tank system. To maintain a temperature of 48 de- grees, with the thermometer registering 20 degrees above zero outside, would require from 500 to 800 pounds of coal, according to its quality, and with an outside temperature of 10 degrees about twenty per cent more would be needed. F. R. HEAT FROM EXHAUST STEAM. I should like to get some information in regard to heating greenhouses with exhaust steam. A new power plant has been built at a distance of two blocks from my greenhouses. Would heating in this way be satisfactory, and what would be the cost of piping the steam from the power plant to the houses? I mean the cost per lineal foot. The houses are now piped for hot water. They are located in Illi- nois. The range consists of two houses 25x60, a lean-to 10x44, an office and a boiler shed. I should like to have the piping large enough to care for double the present area of glass. Please state the size of the pipe and the depth at which it should be laid. G. F. P. Do you want true heating values for your money? Many florists, to their sorrow, have made the mistake of buying cast Iron boilers, which, because of their ratings, appeared to be cheaper than the Kroeschell boiler. The extravagant rating:s of cast iron boilers are misleadins:, and liave been the cause of much disappointment and serious trouble to many s^rowers. The fuel waste is enormous when cast iron boilers are used for commercial purposes, such as greenhouse heating. ^Ovtf IMO OMt mm BoUmm warn r«- plM«d by th« KroatebeU Oreenhooae BoUer durlnc Uia pMl tlx rtan.

Not that it's a compli- cated travel, but that it's hard to picture to another what the inside of a boiler is, even with the help of interior views. So to show you exactly how it is, we finally con- cluded that the best way was to lift the lid right off like this. Now you can see that the hottest parts of the flames in the combustion chamber (or lower story) strike in the space (or fire channels) between each section, and are led each side to the side flue openings, and up into the upper story, or where the fire travel begins. By starting at this upper story, outside division or flue, you see that the hot yases pass from the front to the back, and then front and back again, before reach- From the Burnham ing the smoke box. A three times back and forth travel. Passing on their travels, between water fllled pas- sages or flues, it is plain to see that by the time the gases reach the chimney there can be very little heat left in them. Now to go back to the lower .story again, you can see that because the hottest flames, in coming in direct contact with the water bounded channels, between each section, and then drawn to the side openings into the upper story, that an equal amount of heat comes in contact with every one of the sections. It is this that makes each Burnham section equally etticient. Mainly because of this and the long fire travel, the Burnham greenhouse boiler makes the shortest coal bill.

The heating pipe should be covered with asbestos packing and should either be enclosed in a cement conduit or in sewer pipe. If the former is used it should be twelve inches wide and ten inches high inside if two pipes are used, or ten inches square for the flow pipe only. An 8-inch sewer pipe will be required for the feed pipe and a 6-inch one for the return. The wall of the concrete conduit should be about tfiree inches thick and cement slabs two inches thick can be made for covering it. If near the surface, where teams will pass over ' J. - ■ . "_»? -'»; .- I* ; c»" ' »« ^ w The Florists' Review AUOU8T 13, 1914. them, the slabs should be somewhat thicker. The exact depth at which the pipes are laid will make little diflference, but the grade should be such that the pipes will drain. Just how much such a conduit will cost will depend upon the depth at which the pipe is laid, as well as the cost of pipe, cement, labor, etc., at the place where it is to be used. If the connecting system is properly put in, the results should be satisfactory and a great saving of labor, as well as a con- siderable saving in the cost of heating. St. LOUIS. The Market. The wholesale market last week was in line to furnish almost anything the season afforded, but the demand was far from encouraging. The retailers re- port that if it were not for the funeral work, business would be at a standstill. So far, this summer has proved an exceptionally dull one. The great bulk of stock coming to this market is roses. These are of good quality, but the ma- jority have short stems. Russell, Ward and Killarney Brilliant are among the best. Gladioli are holding full sway, but only the choice ones bring any kind .of price. The common varieties have little sale. There is a large supply of asters of the ordinary grades in white, pink and purple and these hardly bring over $10 per thousand. The light pink stock of Enchantress shade sells best; white also sells well. Easter lilies also were abundant last week. These were sold at 8 cents in small lots and 6 cents in hundred lots. Single tuberose stalks are coming in, but are somewhat scarce on account of the dry weather. Various Notes.- The St. Louis County Growers' Asso- iation held an interesting meeting August 5 at the Eleven Mile House. President F. Vennemann presided over the meeting, which was well attended. A good deal of important business was transacted. W. C. Smith, head of the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co., says that while business always is slow during the sum- mer months, trade for July has been satisfactory. A. P. Geranios, secretary of the St. Louis Retail Florists' Association, says they will start holding monthly meet- ings again next month and continue to do so for the fall and winter. Notices will be sent to the members as to time and place. Albert Gumz, secretary of the Windier Wholesale Floral Co., has re- turned from his vacation trip. On his return he found quite a number of im- provements had been made in his absence. Frank Windier, head of the concern, will leave August 15 for an eastern trip.

George Waldbart, Ludwig Zimmer and Adolph Brix, who usually make a summer trip to their old homes in Germany, are glad they did not make the trip this summer, on account of the war. All the St. Louis county growers are busy preparing for the housing of car- nations. Planting has been going on for ^he last week. Those who grow roses say their young stock is in ex- cellent condition, giving promise of good crops in the fall and winter. The seed houses have had dull busi- ness during the last two months, but are keeping the working forces busy in preparing for the fall season. August Hummert, vice-president of the St. Louis Seed Co., will go with the St. Louis party to the Boston convention. At Fred Bruenig 's place in Columbia, 111., all hands are busy housing a big field of carnations. All outdoor stock has suffered greatly this summer from the drought, which still is with us. The agitation in favor of plant window boxes, begun a few weeks ago by the St. Louis Republic, seems to have fallen through, as nothing as yet has come of it at any of the Olive street residences, where a start was to have been made. Postmaster Selph has placed a few boxes on the government building on Olive street. Lechner Bros., representatives of Holland bulb growers, with oflSces and storerooms at Webster Groves, say they are well pleased with business in both loeal and shipping demand.

Mention The Review when yon write. MILWAUKEE, WIS. The Market. , There has been little change in mar- ket conditions here during the last Week. Stock in general is inferior in quality, and this makes it hard at times to fill shipping orders satisfac- torily. While some carnations are still being seen on the market, they are poor, and despite the fact that they are cleaning up, the prices realized are not 80 high as they should be. Asters are, arriving in larger quantities and dre selling well. The quality might be better than it is, and this fact retards the sale of this stock to some extent. Roses are plentiful and the stock is extra fine. While short-stemmed stock predominates, some exceptionally fine long-stemmed stock is being cut. It is really surprising the hold Mrs. Chas. Russell roses have taken on the flower- buying public. The daily call for this stock is steadily increasing and a bright future is predicted for this rose. Some fine lilies and valley are on the market at this time, but the sale is light. With the war going on in Eu- rope, it is difficult to say what we will have in bulb stock and anything that is imported, next year. Various Notes. Mr. and Mrs. F. H. llolton, who, ac- companied by their daughter, Ruth, are sojourning in the east, left Montreal, Canada, Friday, August 7.

PSOFS TO FOLLOW MUMS. Could I follow chrysanthemums with sweet peas and sweet peas with tall snapdragons, to have the latter in bloom about June and July? What time should the snapdragon seed be sownf Would the sweet peas be out of the way by the time the snapdragons should be benched? F. L. Yes, sweet peas make a good crop with which to follow chrysanthemums. If you grow main crop and late mums, these will not be out of the way before December and sweet peas sown at that time will not flower until spring. The flowering season would last until Me- morial day. If you want tall snap- dragons in June and July, you should have plants in 3 -inch pots ready to set out by the middle of April. Seed for this purpose should be sown in Feb- ruary. Seedling snapdragons may vary a little more in color than those ob- tained from cuttiiigs, but they possess greater vigor and are less subject to disease. If you had snapdragons ready to plant when your mums were cleared, they would commence to flower in March and, would persist until July. Seed for this purpose should be sown by the end of August. C. W. SCALE ON FANDANUS. I have some - fine pandanus, but I noticed scale collecting on them. What shall 1 do to get rid of it? J. 8. If there is only a small amount of scale, it might be removed by spong- ing, although pandanus leaves, espe- cially those on P. utilis, are not pleas- ant to handle. If the scale is fairly well scattered, it will be best treated with Fir Tree Oil or Aphine, at the strength recommended for scale. This should be applied when the plants are all quite dry. Be sure to damp all parts of the leaves. After a few hours, go over the plants with a fine, misty spray nozzle attached to the hose and most of the scale will have been so loosened by the soap or oil spray that it will be washed off. Repeat this occa- sionally to keep the plants clean. C. W. RED CEDAR Tr«« and Plant Tabs With stave feet; prevent floor and tub from rot. Made in sizes from 6-inch to 30- inch diameter.

There is practically no funeral work, which is about all that there is to do at this season of the year. Stock is in good supply, but there is no demand. Plenty of first- elasS Easter lilies are to be had at $8 to $10 per hundred. Fine asters are coming in at $2 to $3 per hundred. Gladioli are plentiful, America bring- ing $2 to $3 per hundred, and the ones off color are finding no sale. Some first- class short Beauties are to be had at $6 to $8 per hundred. Carnations are a thing of the past. Some first-class Shasta daisies are still available. Various Notes. Herman Junge and family and Carl Sonnenschmidt are jnotoring in north- ern Indiana. They expect to spend con- siderable time fishing at Dry lake. Mr. Junge is an enthusiastic fisherman, and he has invented a bait which, if suc- cessful on this trip, he expects to have patented. Wm. Roepke is building a new green- house at his East Washington street place. He reports business satisfactory. Wm. Smith, formerly with Ernest Rieman, has severed his connection with that firm. Clarence Thomas, with Bertermann Bros. Co., has been spending his vaca- tion in Iowa. He is one of our florist chicken fanciers, and while in Iowa gave considerable time to studying a method of raising full-grown fries in eight weeks. Fred Kiel, with the Smith & Young Co., recently invested in a Maxwell automobile. He expects to tour the state in the near future during his vacation. H. L. W. AUSTIN, TEX. The Austin Florists' Club held its tegular monthly meeting August 3 at the home of E. Frederichs, and after a discussion of native eustoma, a splen- did pale blue flower of excellent keej)- ing quality, now much in demand, when dry weather makes flowers scarce, it was decided to hold an autumn flower show, with premiums for amateurs only; the florists are to stage the show, but not to compete for prizes. The next meeting will be held at the home of Olaf Olsen. H. B. B. Springfield, O. — Burglars paid a visit to the shop of Miss H. N.

COLUMBUS, O^ The Market. Trade has been quiet here for the last two or three weeks, with stock of good quality scarce. Aside from funeral work, there is hardly anything doing. Boses are of rather poor quality, but will do in a pinch. Beauties are not plentiful, and the demand is light. Carnations are scarce. Those on the market are quite small, and the de- mand is rather light on account of the low quality. Asters are a little more plentiful and help out nicely instead of carnations, but the supply here is going to be light. Gladioli have been quite plentiful and the demand has been good. $ome really good valley is coming in, but the demand is light on them. The supply of lilies is about equal to the demand, which is not heavy. The demand for good potted ferns keeps up and it is hard to get any ferns in this market. There have been a few shipped in that will relieve the situation somewhat. Various Notes. The Munk Floral Co. reports business slow, with good stock scarce. They are handling a great many gladioli at the present time. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. reports the new house planted to roses looking fine and all the carnations housed and taking hold picely. There is a good deal of uneasiness felt here in regard to the bulb shipments. Few have been reported in, and it looks now as if there would be little chance of stock coming from across the water. J. M. Dallas Tex. — The Lang Floral & Nursery Co. deeded to the city August 3 six lots fronting on Bryan street, to be added to the Exall park tract. The price was $17,500. Grand Bapids, Mich. — R.

Under the cir- cumstances it was natural that some- thing out of the ordinary should be expected and up to a couple of weeks ago it was confidently predicted that the Boston convention of 1914 not only would set a new record for all phases of the society's activity, but would carry the banner so high that it would take years to equal the showing made here. The members of the Boston Gar- deners' and Florists' Club and the lo- cal trade committees, under the leader- ship of Vice-president Patrick Welch, set out with this idea in view and it is not due to any neglect of opportunity or sparing of effort that the result has fallen in some measure short of the high ideals they had before them. Unforeseen obstacles arose and the convention has been held at a dif- ficult time. The conditions were un- favorable, but such as no one could in- fluence. The Attendance. . The war in Eu- rope no doubt cut down the attend- ance just as it did the trades' display. Boston is the busi- ness center of one of the richest and most populous sec- tions of the coun- try. Practically all the New England trade attended, and there were splendid delegations from N ew York, Phila- •lelphia, Baltimore and Washington, while Pittsburgh ;ind vicinity sent a 1 ^presentation o f about thirty, count- V'J,' the Wfies^'^but's 'rom farther West the attendance was I'mited.

(President-elect of the Soeiety of American Florists.) trade establishments wonderfully well worth a visit and the city is full of points of historical interest, a combi- nation usually effective in bringing out a large attendance of both men and women from the corn belt and the grain States. That they did not respond in the usual number this year can be due only to the widespread general unrest resulting from too much poster type on the front pages of the daily news- papers; the invitation to Boston cer- tainly lacked nothing in whole-souled heartiness and never has a more attrac- tive program of entertainment features been provided. That this was appre- ciated through New England was shown by the large attendance from that sec- tion, to which is due the really great success of ' i^e convention. Jfbe Qarden. 'V ' , ' Instead of being daunted by the splendid success of the outdoor display at Minneapolis last year, the Boston gentlemen were en- couraged by it — they thought they could go it one bet- ter. The conditions proved not so good at Boston. At Min- neapolis the garden was right next door to the hall; at Bos- ton it could be lo- cated n o nearer than several blocks away. It was to have been expected that after the splen- did advertising ob- tained at Minneap- olis the trade exhib- itors would respond much more readily at Boston, where the possibilities of reaching the public are greater in pro- portion as the pop- ulation is greater; this proved not to be the case, for the exhibitors at a dis- tance did not seem to appreciate the opportunity; they did not come in so strongly or so nu- merously as was ex- pected.

The Florists^ Review Aquatic Display of Henry A. Dfcer, Inc., Philadelphia, io tfie G>nventloQ Garden at Boston* special order of business for the morn- ing session of August 19. At the Min- neapolis convention a plan was proposed and recommended to the board of direc- tors. It was based on the theory of permitting members of local clubs to join in a body on the payment of a re- duced rate of annual dues. This the di- rectors, after voluminous correspondence and wide discussion, decided to be not feasible. A substitute plan therefore was worked out and presented in the program, whi list shall be in the hands of the secretary by I'ecember 1 of each year. Announcement of such illrector shall be made by the president-elect on January 1 of each year. This subproposition, differing radi- cally from the one discussed last win- ter by so many local florists' clubs, -'eemed to have had little consideration, -IS nearly an hour was spent in ques- tioning George Asmus and W. F, Kast- Qg, members of the directors' commit- tee that prepared the; plan. The opposi- tion that, was apparle^t at the opening of '^e debate faded away as the directors '■ifide clear the meaning of the proposi- tion, with the result that when Thomas "oland moved that it be the sense of the 'feting that the amendments should be concurred in, the motion was carried al- most unanimously. The amendments themselves were on the ballot for the annual election, in accordance with the rules. OoTomor Walsh Speaks. During the morning session, August 19, Patrick Welch introduced Governor Walsh, who made a tremendous hit with a patriotic speech that got the members on their feet cheering the governor's sentiments. So many wanted to shake hands that the executive gave an im- promptu reception, the visitors being in- troduced by W. J. Kennedy, president of the Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club. Robert Craig spoke in response to the governor. For the Private Oardener. The afternoon session of August 19 was held in conjunction with the meet- ing of the National Gardeners' Asso- ciation, the special order of business be- ing a paper by Arthur E. Thatcher, on "What Should the S, A. F. Do for the Private Gardener?" Mr. Thatcher was called away just before the meeting opened, so that the paper was read by Secretary Young. It was followed by a discussion, which also included a gen- eral consideration of the training of gardeners to meet the steadily increas- ing demand for first-rate young men. Tbe Closing Session. The miscellaneous busmtss was cleaned up at the closing session, on the afternoon of August 20, when the results of the elections were announced. The reports of several committees were received and a paper on ' * Adaptation of Plants tot.Soil" was read^y Prof. George S. Stone, of Amherst, Mass. T^(lJ[riepdly contest between the supporters of the two popular candi- dates for the presidency resulted in the largest vote in the history of the So- ciety of American Florists. The result was: For president, C. H. Totty, 160; P. Welch, 240. All other officers were elected unanimously and the affiliation amendments were carried. INDIES' BOWUNO. Two games were rolled in the annual tournament of the lady bowlers August 19, the prizes being won in the follow ing ordpr: Mrs. F, C. Bauer, Mrs. G C. Shaffer, Mrs. G. W. Smith, Mrs. Golsner, Mrs. Traendly, Mrs. J. Manda, Miss Matilda Meinhardt, Mrs. book and Mrs. C. E. Critchell. Mrs. Bauer had the high game,; Mrs. Golsner the most strikes and Mrs. Smith the most spares. In the candlepin contest the prizes were won in the following order: Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Shaffer, Miss B. Mein- hardt, Miss L. Palmer and Mrs. George Asmus. DIBECTOES' MEETING. At a meeting of the board of direct- ors, August 20, the matter of the action to be taken in the cases of the exhib- itors who had contracted for space in the trades' display and then found themselves unable to use it was con- sidered, It was decided to retain the twenty-five per cent payment made at the time of applying for space and to remit the balance due. In the cases of individual exhibitors, this meant a remission of as much as $300, and to the society it meant the loss of over $1,000 in revenue. The di rectors also decided that it ^s uBd^atra- ble to take the acnnual Lenten meeting of the board tp S&n Francisco and rec- ommended that the> president and sec- retary only make the trip, the meeting of the fun; bOaYd to be held at Chicago or some other central city.

PEESIDENT'S RECEPTION. The society never before has had so fine an indoor setting for the annual function at which the members greet the president, his cabinet and their ladies. The ballroom of the Copley Plaza is one of the newest and most up-to-date and was well filled in spite of the drizzling rain that no doubt kept many away. It seems to rain every day in Boston this year. In the receiving line were J. J. Hess and Mrs. Hess, of Omaha; J. E. Evans and Mrs. Evans, of Richmond, Ind.; President Wirth and Mrs. Wirth, of Minneapolis; Vice- presi- dent "Welch and Mrs. Welch, of Boston; W. J. Stewart and Mrs. Stewart, of Bos- ton; R. Vincent, Jr., and Mrs. Vincent, of White Marsh, Md., Erank R. Pierson and M. H. Norton, After the long line of members and ladies had wound its way past the receiving party, dancing followed and refreshments were served. It was a late hour before the affair came to a close, LUNCH TO VISITOES. A lunch was tendered to some of the prominent local workers, visitors and members of the press at the Parker House, Tuesday afternoon. About sixty gentlemen were present, J. J. Cassidy, who recently took over Doyle's Beacon street store, acted as toastmaster, and ^•^veral gentlemen made short addresses, Hayor Curley made an eloquent speech. '6 pleased his hearers when he an- •^unced that since the opening of the convention garden he had been offered $50,000 by a prominent local lady to as- sist in its development, and he assured his hearers that the garden would soon be made one of the great beauty spots of Boston's park system. Othfer speakers included Commissioner of Parks John H. Dillon, W. P, Kast- ing. Judge C, A. Holt, Commissioner Charles Gibson, Theodore Wirth, and others, AT HORTICULTURAL HALL. In honor of the visit of the S. A. F,, the prize and exhibition committee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society got up, at three days' notice, a fine ex- hibition which filled Horticultural hall, although no prizes or even honorary awards were made. William Sim staged a magnificent lot of gladioli, filling 175 large vases, which filled half the lecture hall. He had 5,000 spikes in all. His best sorts were: America, Canary Bird, Mrs. King, Eu- ropa. Independence, Kunderdi Glory, Halley, Panama, Hollandia, Scribe, Cyn- osure, Baron Hulot, Sunburst, Dazzler, Aline, Mayor, Niagara and Wild Rose. B, Hammond Tracy staged a large and imposing bank of gladioli well arranged, C, W, Brown, of Ashland, had a good collection of named varieties, W, N, Craig showed twenty-five varieties of Wilhelm Pfitzer's newer introductions; some of the finest were Schwaben, Char- lotte Pfitzer and Aprikose. John Lewis Childs had a fine collection of gladioli. The Boston Cut Flower Co, had a fine decoration of palms and large baskets of gladioli, H, R, Comley had a similar display, William Nicholson showed a fine lot of buddleias, and Mrs. E, M, Gill, in addition to a collection of dahlias, had some fine dipladenias and allaman- das, E, F. Dwyer & Sons had a large and representative collection of dahlias, M, Sullivan, gardener to W, Whitman, had two large tables of gladioli, annuals and perennials Mount Desert Nurseries had a splen- did bank of aconitums. The Eastern Nurseries and T. C. Thurlow's Sons had imposing collections of bardy perennials, also tables of phloxes; F, J. Rea also had a large collection of the latter, R. & J, Farquhar & Co, showed hardy perennials ii quantity; also Lilium myriophyllum, Sargentiae and Henryi, a group of fancy caladiums and a large table of exhibition quality vegetables. The W, W. Edgar Co, had a fine cir- cular group of palms and other foliage plants, gladioli, gloxinias, etc, Jack- son Dawson had a collection of Calluna vulgaris, or Scotch heather, in variety. Mrs, Frank Merriam had large specimen zonale geraniums. This exhibition at- tracted a large attendance, both of con- vention members and the general public. REPORT OF TARIFF COMMITTEE. [The following Is the report of Wm. F. Gude, ctinliman of the tariff and leRisIatlve committee, presented at the Boston convention, August 19, 1014. 1 With the one exception of a reference for the adjustment of a certain classi- fication of freight rates, the committee ha« had nothing before it. In this case, after a visit to the In- terstate Commerce Commission in Washington, the matter was transferred to New York, There the commission heard R. M. Ward, of our committee, and then took the matter under advise- ment. In the event the classification is re- duced, it will make considerable differ- ence in the service rendered, as the goods will not go forward as promptly as first-class freight, Padueah, Ky.— John Van Aart, for- merly of Newtown, Pa,, who bought the entire plant of C, L. Brunson & Co. here about two years ago, has lately purchased the business of Robt, E, Rudolph, of Padueah. Mr, Van Aart will run both ranges in connection with his store. All his stock is in fine con- dition and he looks for a good fall trade. 16 The Florists' Review AuauBT 20, jl*t4. TSB part of the Fenway used for the convention garden is charm- inglj located as regards environ- ment. The setting of trees and majestic buildings, which rise on two sides of the garden, is splendid. The other sides, while well screened with trees, present a more secluded appearance. The chain of ponds and lagoons, run- ning irregularly the whole length of the garden, crossed at either end by picturesque stone bridges, adds to the beauty of the scene. Possibly the only criticism is that the land occupied by the garden is somewhat monotonously flat, not a solitary tree breaking up the entire 10-acre stretch. The making of a convention garden is no easy task. Had the S. A. P. to provide the necessary funds for making one, its treasury would be empty. The city of Boston spent about $20,000 for loam and manure for the garden. The S. A. P. guaranteed $1,500 for the gar- den's upkeep. Beceipts from those who planted beds will aggregate about $1,- 000 over this amount, but the $1,500 would not begin to pay for the labor of preparing, planting and caring for the various exhibits. Weather Conditions a Hindrance. Owing to a change of administration, necessary funds for pushing on the garden work were much delayed. Then a late and wet spring placed additional handicaps, as did the lukewarmness of many of the large exhibitors. It was the middle of May before any planting could be done, but, in spite of all draw- backs, the garden is a reality and one of which the society may well be proud. The lack of sufficient grass is one of the weak features; a few more humid days would have remedied this defect. The growth on nymphseas, cannas and other heat-loving subjects was some- what disappointing, owing to the low temperatures prevailing in Boston prac- tically all summer. Great praise is due James B. Shea, superintendent of parks and of the con- vention garden, for his achievements under adverse conditions, Kenneth Finlayson planted most of the beds, in a first-class manner, and John F. Mur- phy did a great deal of really hard work. J. K. M. L. Farquhar and all others connected with the garden de- serve words of commendation. Coming to the individual exhibitors, we find some names missing, but it is encouraging to note that those who are not represented are feeling now they made a big blunder in underestimating the importance of the Boston garden. Strong Canna Displays. Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa., had a fine showing of cannas, filling half a dozen large beds. Noteworthy among them were: Wyomingj Beacon, a splendid scarlet; Miss Kate Deemer, a fine yellow; Olympic; Mrs. W. P. Con- ard, striking; Meteor, scarlet; Mr. Saunders; Rosea Gigantea, the best rose variety in, the garden; Panama, a splen- did bedder, aad Wintzer's Colossal, a robust grower with mammoth light red flowers. Thi*'%xhibit was an extremely imposing one. A. T. Boddington, New York, had a splendid bed of Hyacinthus (GfCltonia) candicans, a large square bed of Gladi- olus America, which will be at its best a week after the convention, and a superb bed of Canna Panama. A bed of Germania montbretia was planted, but the bulbs rotted, owing to th«*.wet condition of the ground early in the season. A. N. Fierson's Large Exhibit. A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., was a large exhibitor. In one bed Paul Crampel geranium showed itself to be a fine single scarlet bedder. There were two circular beds of dwarf polyantha roses, such as Triomphe d 'Orleans, Marie Pavie, white, and Ellen Poulson. One large bed contained the best grown lot of herbaceous perennials seen in the garden, including stokesias, del- phiniums, astilbes and many other va- rieties. One large bed had acalyphas in the center, followed by Abutilon Savitzii, and bordered with Alternan- thera Jewel. Knight & Struck Co., New York, had a nicely flowered bed of Buddleia variabilis grandiflora, and another con- taining the firm's HeatheVirome Iviiin of midsummer cosmos, which had oisen in flower since early in June, with flowers equaling those of Lady Lenox in size. W. A. Manda, South Orange, N. J.,, was a large exhibitor, showing a wide variety of stock. He had several dahlia beds not much in flower, each edged with Festuca glauca. Two beds were devoted to boxes in a variety of shapes and types. Choice conifers filled an- other bed. In another I noted Begonia Christmas Eed, and a border of Antheri- cum Mandaianum. Boses, Cuphea platycentra, hibiscus. Plumbago Capen- sis, golden privet and many other plants were noted in the dozen or more beds planted by Mr. Manda. The Mount Desert Nurseries, Bar Harbor, Me., showed a large bed of coniferous evergreens and several beds of hardy herbaceous perennials, amon<> which Astilbe Davidii, Senecio clivorum and aconitums were the most note- worthy. Davenport Shows Euonymus. A. M. Davenport, Watertown, Mass., filled two beds with green and varie- gated shrubby evergreen euonymus, in which he specializes. He also had a June* B. Shea.

Palmer, Brookline, Mass., filled a bed eighty-five feet in length with the rich dark blue Petunia Veilchen- blau, bordered with Marigold Legion of Honor, with an edging of white ver- bena, a charming combination. Eastern Nurseries, HoUiston, Mass., filled a large, irregular bed with taxus and other evergreens, with a ground- work of Pachysandra terminalis. They also had a perennial bed filled with pink and white phloxes, with Viola cornuta as a groundwork. William Tricker, Arlington, N. J., had the largest collection of aquatics in the garden. Unfortunately, owing to the coldness of the water, the nymphseas had made but little growth. He had a nice bed of pennisetums; P. macroatrum in the center, followed by P. Japonicum, then P. Kuppellianum, and a border of bulbosum. Another bed, of Perry's variety of Lythrum roseum, was good, with a border of Vinca minor aurea. A. F. Coolidge, Cambridge, Mass., filled a large bed with geraniums of the best commercial varieties, all well flowered. Edward MacMulkin, Boston, showed a large bed with a central block of Physostegia Virginiana, dotted with Dracaena australis. Lobelias, gera- niums, begonias and other plants filled the rest of the bed. Dreer's Aquatics. H. A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia, had <<■ large collection of nymphseas and other aquatics. The water lilies showed ♦he lack of warm weather in their frrowth. Some of the best sorts noted \vere: N. Bissetti, Gladstoniana, Aurora, f'iorata rosea, rubra rosea, odorata sul- I'lnirea, Marliacea Candida, Marliacea ^;' ea, Mrs. C. W. Ward, Devoniensis, J'lnk Trelease, Zanzibariensis, O'Mar- ■J"y, Wm. Stone, pulcherrima and '^'•ntata. ' '"• Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., White ^!n-sh, Md., had a circular bed with a Jl^'tral mass of the brilliant double '"inet geranium, Maryland, with a dou- ble row of Scarlet Bedder, and a border of the salmon-colored Miss Lawrence. Carter's Tested Seeds, Inc., Boston, had a large, circular raised bed of the concern's special lawn seed. This lawn, seeded June 11 and first mowed June 25, was as nearly perfect as could be; entirely clear of weeds. The bed was marked off with lines of achyranthes to represent a clock, the hour figures being done in alternantheras. A figure of Mercury in bronze stood in the cen- ter of the bed. The same firm had in another part of the garden a pleasing bed of white speciosum lilies, tuberous and fibrous-rooted begonias, and Alter- nanthera brilliantissima. Peter Henderson & Co., New York, had a circular bed planted with the new deep salmon geranium. General Funston, a pleasing color, and bordered with Alternanthera Jewel. F. W. Fletcher & Co., Auburndale, Mass., had a large bed of Antirrhinum Nelrose, dwarf in habit outdoors and floriferous. Vaughan's Seed Store, New York and Chicago, had a bed of the brilliant scar- let canna. Firebird. Axel Magnuson, Manchester, Mass., showed a bed of a new maroon-colored salvia, as yet but little open. Thie bed was bordered with double white pe- tunias. Arthur Cowee, Berlin, N. Y., had a bed of Gladiolus Peace not yet in flower. H. E. Comley, Boston, had a small circular bed of cosmos. Marguerite Mrs. Sander, and coleus. S. J. Goddard, Framingham, Mass., filled a bed with the bright pink be- gonia, Gloire de Chatelaine, easily the finest bedding begonia seen in the garden. Craig's Crotons. Robert Craig Co., Philadelphia, had a large bed of the firm's newer and choice crotons, with a groundwork of freshly seeded lawn, which made them show up their brilliant colors well. These were not planted until August 14. John Lewis Childs, Flowerfield, N. Y., contributed a large bed of choice gladi- oli, which were all well in flower. Some of the best varieties were: Meyerfurst, Winsome, Gleam, Rose Spray, Sulphur King, Scribe, Snow King, Attraction, Charmer, Radiance, Sunburst, Lydia and various primulinus hybrids. E. E. Stewart, Brooklyn, Mich., showed a nice bed of gladioli, in eighteen varieties. These include some new and choice kinds. William Sim, Cliftondale, Mass., filled a circular bed with pink antirrhinum, bordered with alternanthera. W. W. Edgar Co., Waverley, Mass., had a splendid bed of standard and dwarf heliotropes, bordered with varie- gated vinca. The bed was dotted with white speciosum lilies; the latter were added August 15. B. Hammond Tracy, Wenham, Mass., showed a large bed of gladioli, with a groundwork of sweet alyssum. None of the gladioli were open for the con- vention. Galvm Shows Shield. Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., Boston and New York, planted a fiue carpet bed, on which the lettering stood tip boldly. The wording was "Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., 1847-1914, Bpston and New York." Echeverias, alternantheras and blue lobelias were chiefly Used. Bidwell & Fqbes,. Kinsnian,: 0., had a w«ll flowered ted of gladioK. The best varieties seen were: Mrs. J. Lancashire, Panama, Niagara, E. E. Stewart, Purity and Chicago White. R. & J. Farquhar & Co., Boston, con- tributed what was the largest and most imposing feature of the garden, in the form of a Japanese garden, tastefully planted. A pergola opened upon a rus- tic winding bridge about 110 feet in length, which led to a charming rustic tea house, with central table, settees, and even window boxes filled with growing plants, in the center of the lagoon. The shores of the waterway were tastefully planted with water-lov- ing subjects. Choice evergreens were used in profnsion in the shore plantings, and tan bark was used instead of stone or gravel for the walks. The firm's at The Florists' Review AnoDST 20, 1014. name was well done in alternantheras facing the entrance to this fine exhibit. Among other plants noted here were numerous clumps of the new Liliura myriophyllum, L. Sargentise, buddleias and a nqst of hardy perennials and tender plants. This firm also had beds of Buddleia superba, magnifica and Veitchiana ha. other parts of the garden, bordered with hypericums. A. H. Hews & Co., North Cambridge, Mass., contributed a number of large fancy pots and vases, which were filled with plalms by the- Boston city green- houses. W. C. Eust, Brookline, Mass., sent a large specimen Cycas revoluta and numerous large Hydrangea Otaksa. The Boston department of public grounds filled several large beds with crotons, pandanus and other foliage plants. One large carpet bed at the entrance to the garden showed the seal of the city of Boston, alternantheras, echeverias, golden euonymus and simi- lar plants being used. These were the best finished beds on the grounds and greatly helped out the general appear- ance. W. N. C. SECBETABY'S BEPOBT. [The following Is the report of John Young, secretary of the S. A. F., presented at the Bos- ton convention, August 18, 1914.] As to our trade exhibits at this con- vention, it is most unfortunate that early August found our plans greatly affected through the European war, now waging. Our exhibition has suffered greatly, in that many of our exhibitors have found it necessary to cancel or reduce orders for exhibition space. Particularly has this curtailment been felt in the florists' supply department, where samples of goods ordered for the season are ex- hibited, goods which are produced main- ly in Europe and whose delivery none of us can guarantee. Many of our exhibitors of bulbs, too, are affected, and the improbability ot the arrival of much stock ordered for distribution is reflected in the scarcity of exhibits in some of our usually well filled departments. Membership. A general increase in the member- ship may be reported. Tlie maximum membership is 2,004. By this is meant the inclusion of all members who have, at the time of making this report, qual- ified for 1914, and those who have not resigned but have been continued on the membership roll through expecta- tion that they will make good their obligations. In this connection I might state that the delinquents' list is highly satisfactory in point of quality. Our life membership also shows a gratifying S. J. Goddard 4 Florists' Tel. Del... 15 E.

With the mem- bers in good standing, and those whose dues are accounted collectible, our total membership may be considered as 2,004, of which 357 are life members and twenty-six pioneers, exempt from dues. From these figures, it will be seen that our society is advancing in mem- bership and that it is becoming more and more the representative body of the trade. It must be understood, however, that these figures are available only several days before the convention opens. As is usual, a considerable in- crease in the list of new members will no doubt be observable at the conven- tion.

REPORT ON SCHOOL GARDENS. [The following Is the report of Benjamin Hammond, chairman of the S. A. F. com- mittee on school gardens, presented at the Boston convention August 19, 1914.] Within twenty years the idea of school gardening has spread from Bos- ton to the Pacific ocean and to the Philippine islands under United States control. The economic value of this work, as is realized today, is of much importance in every town where it takes root. The value of a taste cultivated by making things grow in a small way lies in the fact that it tends at once to improve the appearance of a neighborhood. The florist's shop never is a detriment to a neighborhood, but is the example of what will make the homes of a com- munity look better. During the last year the committee on school gardens has followed up its limited work of suggestion to school trustees and qthers in every city, town or village where a member of the So- ciety of American Florists is located, by mailing to each official school body a well illustrated circular letter calling attention to this work, and apprecia- tion of this call is acknowledged by many. One of the manufacturing towns which was built on the sand dunes or waste places at the south end of Lake Michigan is Gary, Ind., and the lead- ing men of the cosmopolitan city of New York have been out there and come back home to tell, among other things, what school gardening and flower growing does to break up the old-time barrenness of a manufacturing city. This work over the country, espe- cially in the larger cities, such as Cin- cinnati, St. Louis, Cleveland, Chicago, Los Angeles, Bellingham, Worcester, Toronto, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Syracuse, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Louis- ville, Indianapolis, Grand Kapids and Kalamazoo, gives merely an idea of what is being done in centers of large population. The work is aided by seeds- men in many places. Eoses, dahlias, asters, gladioli, cannas, coleus, gerani- ums, sweet peas, etc., are evidence of the increasing appreciation by the mass of American families of flowering plants in the odd corners and waste places. Example and training are the effective ways in which to lead and elevate home taste. The development in the use and growth of flowers is nowhere more apparent than on the roofs of the great tenement buildings or apartment houses on Manhattan island; the boxes of flowers tell their own story of the yearning in human hearts for pretty things, and the florists and seedsmen of the world are the trades that help uplift humanity. Your ownniitt««'s advice .to all the people is: Keep right on the job. 80 The Florists^ Re vkw AueusT 20, 1914. THE UNCERTAINTIES caused by the European war are largely re- npoiisible for the fact that this year's trades' display fell behind the record. It had been expected that at Boston the society would have a busi- ness show second only to the record set at Chicago two years ago if, indeed, it did not raise the mark made at that time. This happy result might possibly have been attained had not the Eu- ropean imbroglio developed just as it did. In the first place, the war re- sulted in the withdrawal of all the Phil- adelphia and New York dealers in flo- rists' supplies, whose importations are tied up and who do not know when they will be able to proceed with business again on the usual lines. At 40 cents per foot this meant the cancellation of orders for space that would have brought the society some $1,500, and some half dozen exhibitors a great many times that amount. The hole cut in the show was as appreciable as the one made in the society 's caph receipts an(L served to emphasize the important place the supplies exhibits have come to hold in the annual trade show. It was a real case of being conspicuous by absence, and sadly missed. In addition to the loss of the supplies exhibits, the war no doubt was felt iu a decrease in the number of exhibitors, which approximated the number at Minneapolis last year but which did not exceed two-thirds the number who showed at Chicago or at Baltimore in the two years preceding. Probably had it not been for the unrest occa- sioned by the fighting, there would have been other exhibitors. It may have been due to any one or a combination of three factors that there was a gen- eral tendency to cut down the space used this year. While a few regular exhibitors took more space than usual, most of them took less than heretofore, which had the result of making a num- ber of displays appear crowded while the hall as a whole was scarcely well filled. The war may have had some- thing to do with this, or the slow busi- ness that generally has been experienced in the last two months, or it may be thot the society is charging too much for the space and, with plenty of room, would secure better results aad better feeling by returning to the old rates, which prevailed for some years prior to the raise two years ago to 40 cents per foot. At any rate there has been some discussion of this point and it will come up at the next meeting of the board of directors. Although there was little in. the way of outstanding not-elty, taking it all together, it made a tho'rolighlv gooil exhibition and one that would have been considered excellent a few years ago. Mechainics building, where ., the affair, was staged, affords .worlds of space, po .that the show was all in one sectiop, of the. tnain floor, but jfis not SvfeU adapted io. the purpose of obtaiq- ing in iffl^resisiVe geneciU Affeiti'. Th'e 'great ro«lBi*i«tH angular in-thape, cut up by scores of posts and with so low a ceiling that the men who have re- cently been exhibiting full sized sec- tions of big iron-frame greenhouses had this year to think up other ideas. Secre- tary Young has been handling these af- fairs so many years that his arrange- ments are excellent and there is noth- ing but praise for the way the show is handled. It is far better than in the (lays when a new local man was placed in charge each year and forced to tackle the job without experience. The staging of the exhibits in gen- eral was better this year than it ever has been before. Each convention sees an advance in the character of the booths and the effective display of the exhibits. Those who showed at Boston were : Advance Co., Bichmond, Ind. The Advance ventilating machine was shown in .two styles, nickel plated for exhibition purposes. The Big Advance machine was demonstrated in connection with .th^ pew '.truss -arm afid. the." Little' Wonder machine was sjiown for use in conservatories, etc; The- exhibit in- cluded 'pateiit pipe shaft couplings, a new rack and pinion arm to be used in connection with a new worm gear ma- rhine ^oon' to be put on the market, shelf brackets, pipe carriers, split tees,' column brackets and a split V fitting that is new. J. E. Jones and E. E. Jones, father and son, were in charge of the exhibit. They had fans, nail files and a variety of knives as souve- nirs. S. A. Anderson, Buffalo. Begonia Gloire de Lorraine years ago was found so at home at the Anderson place, where stock is grown for the use of the retail store, that quantities were produced for wholesaling — about the only item this retailer sells to th(» trade. Excellent plants were shown in several sizes. Mr. Anderson was i-i charge, Aphine Mfg. Co., Madison, N. J. This line of insecticides and fungi- cides included Nikotiana, Aphine, Fun gine, Vermine and Scaline, all attrac- tively displayed in glass jars. M. ('. Ebel was in charge. A. A. Arnold Paper Box Co., CMcaga. S. Freund, salesmanager of the flo rists' boxes department of the Arnold Box Co., was on hand with the only ex- clusive display of boxes, the line in- cluding all the ordinary green an I glazed corner lock folding boxes for .c\it flowers, designs and corsage bou- quets, but featuring novelty boxes for Christmas and St. Valentine's day. Tlie .Christmas boxes included holly, poin- settia and wreath decorations, while ,thfe St. Valentine's boxes of course car- ried red hearts. These were all in the corner lock style. The line was strong on wreath and spray boxes, Mr. Freund stating that the popularity of the wreath as a funeral design has created a large demand for a special box for the safe delivei"y of wreaths. Chatles D. Ball, HolnMttbtiri^ Pa. There were some Phoenix Boebelenii in this exhibit, but for which it would have consisted entirely of kentias, sin gle and made-up plants in a variety ot sizes. This grower has specialized on kentias these many years and do^s them well. The |>lants shown this year were not so large as sometimes have been shown, but they all were well fin ished. Charles D. Ball and Charles D. Ball, Jr., were on the ground. Lemuel Ball Estate, Wissinoming, Fa. This exhibit included kentias in sizes from 2%-inch pots to 12-inch tubs-; Pandanus Veitchii and P. utilis, Dracaena terininalis made up three to a pot, 6 inch terminalis, Ficus pandurata, Neph rolepis Scholzeli; Cocos Weddelliana, Dracsena Sanderiana and "Areca luta scens. in sizes for growing on. Jama^^ W. Wade was in charge, as for many years. . . . ' H> Ba3rersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia. Bayersdorfer & Co., at a cost of over $400 for space, hiad arranged for one of the largest exhibits the firm has ever made. H. Bayersdorfer spent fleveral weeks in Europe, principally in Ger- many, last springy planning novelties with the makers, and Sydney Bayersdor- fer is there now to watch the manufac- ture and shipment, but with communica tion cut off it appeared that trouble would be avoided by booking no more orders for this stock until the situation clears. The result was that the exhibit was withdrawn and a portion of the space used for desk and reception pur- poses only. Martin Reukauf, Stephen Greene and I. Bayersdorfer were pres ent to talk over matters with those in- terested. ** Bon Arbor Chemical Co., Paterson, N. J. This exhibit contained a complete line of agricultural chemicals, includin<; Bon Arbor prepared plant food, weed killer. Radix worm eradicator, and other proprietary articles. In charge of Ed ward Earnshaw, head of the concern L. B. Bragne & Son, Hinsdale, Mass. A table of hardy cut ferns constituted the exhibit in charge of L. H. Braguc Joseph Breck & Sons Co., Boston. The Breck corporation showed plants of Nelrose snapdragon and the Fletco paper pots, for which it is agent; also bulbs of I'reesia Purity and some nic boxwoods from its nursery at Lexinj; ton. John L. Russell was in charge. Brookland Gardens, Wobum, Mass. There were about fifty varieties of gladioli in this display, which includenard & Jones Co.> ^est Grovet Pa.> at ttie Boston Convention. staged the' ChildS exhibit: of about 100 varieties of gladiolus. The collection included the varieties originated by the exhibitor and the best European and American sorts selected by careful test. It was strong in reds, but the tendency of late has been toward light colors, and these predominated. Aline, white, sent out a few seasons ago, still showed up strongly, but Snow King, to go out this fall, is expected to assume a lead- ing place among whites. Childs was the disseminator of America, the variety that really gave the gladiolus its start as a florists' flower, and every exhibit "by Childs of course makes a feature of America. Arthur Cowee, Berlin, N. T. This was one of the largest displays of cut gladiolus blooms ever made at an S. A. F. convention, there being 170 of the usual vases and a large number of baskets arranged for effect. F. A. Kuen, a decorator from Newark, N. J., had charge of this part of the ex- hibit, which was extremely effective. A feature of the display was a collection of about 100 primulinus hybrids in ilainty colors, principally yellow with right spot. Polypodium Mandaia- 'uim of course was a conspicuous fea- riiio. The palms included kentias, ^rocas and Phoenix Roebelenii. Other **n'',iects shown included cibotiums, '^spleniums, dracsenas, alsophilas. adian- tums and many more. W. A. Manda and Robert Karlstrom were in charge. Massachusetts Agricultural College. The Department of Floriculture of the Amherst institution had a booth in charge of Prof. Arno H. Nehrling at which the college literature was on dis- play for distribution. Information was offered on the work being done for flori- culture and the purposes and facilities of the institution made clear to many inquirers. J. C. Meyer & Co., Boston. The space occupied by Meyer & Co. was used for the display of cases of thread, one kind of which became widely known in the trade under the name of Silkaline. H. F. Michell Co., Philadelphia. The House of Michell this year con- tented itself with a desk and chairs, displaying only a rack of printed mat- ter and some photographs of the seed farm and trial grounds. I. Rosnosky was in charge, but several members of the Michell were present, including the Chief. John C. Moninger Co., Chicago. A large steam boiler occupied the center of the well designed booth of the Moninger Co., in charge of N. J. Rupp, treasurer of the company, and A. Ham- marstrom, manager of its New York office. Two half sections of greenhouses were shown, one the iron-frame house, the other the pipe-frame house, embody- ing the new bolted clamps for fasten- ing pipe supports to purlins, which they think is one of the biggest little things they have hit on in a long time. Other features of the construction were shown by means of many detail sections of gutters, eave plates, bars, etc. Paint, putty, plumbing and heating fittings, pipe carriers, etc., were attractively shown. A large water color sketch showed the big plant to be erected for W. H. GuUett & Sons, Lincoln, 111. A. novelty was a miniature greenhouse, complete in every part and detail, even to the glazing, made of paper. For the ladies this exhibitor had a vanity case and for the men a souvenir pencil. J. a. Neidinger, Philadelphia. ' The stdck purchased HV Mr. Neidin- ger on his trip to Europe last spring is — nobody knows where! Most of it was to have come from Germany and France. As it was deemed unwise to show samples of merchandise that may never arrive, no exhibit was made, but a table and chairs were placed on part of the space intended to be used and George W. Hampton was present to meet customers and friends of the house and explain the situation. New England Entomological Co. Prof. Wm. Eeiff, manager of the es- tablishment of the New England En- tomological Co., at Jamaica Plain, Mass., was in charge of an attractive booth in which were butterflies in great variety, mounted on pins in boxes with the uniformity of a manufactured article. He conveyed the surprising in- formation that there is a market for such things in quantity and that florists are using them in decorating. Pan-Pacific Exposition. The San Francisco exposition had a booth in charge of Wm. Plumb, superin- tendent of floriculture, at which the business of the department was trans- acted and information given on the ex- position as a whole. E. Allan Peirce, WaJtham, Mass. This exhibit consisted of only one article, the paper pot first shown and certificated at the Minneapolis conven- tion last year and which has since been widely sold in the trade. The pot was shown in all the standard sizes. It is a made-up, one-piece article and is shipped nested, packed in fiber-board cases. Penn, Boston. One of the unique displays was that of Penn, the Boston retail florist. It consisted of a booth, three sides of which were covered with hangers on which Penn's retail ads were attrac- tively grouped, with headings showing the papers in which they were pub- lished. There were scores of ads, each one a model of effective pnWicity, cov- ering all seasons of the year and almost all lines of stock. Street oar cards were shown in frames and ther'e was a minia- ture billboard over a lawn of sheet moss. The purpose of the exhibit, which cost Penn over $200, was purely educa- tional, to show florists how the flower business has been, is and oan be in- S4 lilie Florists* Review AUQU8S i9. ].»14. creased by the use of the right kind of adTertuuig. The F. T. D. of course came in for a boost. H. S. Bogers, of the Penn promotion staff, was in charge. Pennock-Meehaii Co., Philadelphia. This exhibit, while not so large as at some previous conventions, included a considerabjl^ variety of ribbons, chif- fons and corsage ties. Instead of show- ing samples of all the materials, qual- ities, widths and colors, as sometimes has been done, the exhibitor staged principally new colors and shades, the standard flower colors having become so well known that there is little object in showing them. A large line of cor- sage pins was on display, this item hav- ing assumed considerable importance. Robert Greenlaw was in charge. E. J. Fancourt, secretary of the S. S. Pen- nock-Meeban Co., who was present, stated as an item of trade news that the sale for baskets has become so large that the company is about to engage extensively in the business and will hereafter carry a large stock of plain and decorated baskets at its Stores in Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore an^^^9ii!vpiiliimi|^.ii.wiiii I.

In charge of George M. Barrie, local agent, and Wil- bur S. Thompson, manager of the New York office. A. T. Stearns Lumber Co., Neponset. Mass. For sixty years this company has been selling greenhouses in New England, and occasionally outside. The exhibit con- sisted of a complete house 10x20, all cy- press construction, equipped with Chal- lenge ventilating apparatus, for which the company has the New England agency. A model tower and tank also was shown, but so far as could be ascertained the tank was empty. F. N. Sanborn, man- ager of the greenhouse department of the company, and Col. W. E. Sweetser, advertising manager for all departments, were in charge. Geo. L. Stillman, Westerly, B. I. One of the most attractive spots of <'olor in the hall was that made by the •lahliaa from George L. Stillman, who Krows nothing else. He had 144 bot- tles, each one containing a single bloom on a short stem. There were no two alike. Of the lot sixty-five were new varieties of the peony-flowered type raised b7 Mr. Stillman himself, and there were several new colors among them. The balance of the exhibit con- prised what Mr. Stillman considers the btest of the decorative, show, cactus apd collarette types. Among these was a new variety of his own raising, vel- vety maroon in color, that he says never throws a stem less than sixteen inches long and often thirty inches long. Storrs & Harrison Co., Palncsville, O. As for many years, the leader in this I'-xhibit was a good lot of field-grown 'Dses for forcing. The indoor department was represented by. ferns for dishes, Dracaena terminalis, Cibotium Schiedei, •^splenium Nidus-Avis, Araucaria ex- '■flsa, Asparagus plumosus, Adiantum '•"iieatum, kentias and primroses in variety. Although most of the Aples were in small sizes for growing m, S. f»'. Welch, who was in charge, was careful t'> explain that the company has forty- tour greenhouses full of larger sizes. Taylor Steam ^ecialty Co., Battle Creek., Mich. This animated exhibit was a demon- stration -of the Taylor water circulator for greenhouse heating. Operated by a small electric motor- and with a portion of the apparatus made of glass for demonstration purposes, the actual op- oration, of the mechanism could be seen. The display was in charge of J. H. Tay- lor, head of the concern. Teare & Black Co., Cleveland. These agricultural chemists, manu- facturing a large line, showed only one article, Capital Plant Food, prepared for professional florists, with sample cans for distribution. The display was in charge of G. J. Wilder and A. C. Teasdale. Vaughan's Seed Store, New York. The bulb display of this exhibitor in- clud'.d a full line of French, Japanese and Bermudian varieties and sizes and also a considerable line of Dutch stock, tulips, hyacinths and narcissi. Cut blooms of a number of varieties of gla- dioli were shown. The exhibit was in charge of J. B. Deamud and Edward HoUberg. James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y. Cooperating with the exhibitor was tbe firm of Jacob Thomann & Sons, with whom Rochester White gladiolus orig' inated, and this variety was shown in larger quantity than has heretofore been possible. It was staged in ah at- tractive manner and seemed to receive almost as much attention as it did be- fore most of those interested in the flower had been given a number of opportunities of seeing it. The Tho- nianns also put up some twenty other varieties of their own raising, only a few spikes each of most of them, and large vases of about forty standard varieties. For themselves James Vick's Sons showed blooms of each variety of aster of which they are growing seeds this year, illustrating the character of their strains. They also showed plants from the stock seed plantation of Vick 's Ruffled Giant petunia. W. H. Dildine was in charge, with numerous assistants. E. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., "White Marsh, Md. This exhibit consisted of a dozen big, beautifully flowered pot plants of the Maryland geranium, scarlet, introduced last season but not yet widely known. The plants were flowered for this pur- pose by Thomas Roland, to whom the stock was shipped last winter. R. Vin cent, Jr., was in charge, but did not stav with the exhibit. "Let the plants speak for theniselves, " was the way he put it. Balph M. Ward & Co., New York. This importer of bulbs made no dis- play of stock, but had a comfortable re^ treat where Horace Cheeseman could greet old friends and explain to them -that he .now wears the Horseshoe brand. Welch Bros. Co., Boston. A large line of staple articles in fla- .rists' supplies was put on display by Welch Bros. Co. There were staple bas- kets for cut flowers and plants in con- siderable variety, ruscus and metal wreaths, pot covers, mats, wheat sheaves, doves, sprinklers, wire, match sticks, greenhouse .insecticides, vases and flo- rists' letters. Wertheimer Eros., New York. This exhibit was divided into three sections, one devoted to corsage ties, •another to chitfons and the third to rib- bons. In the large line of corsage ribbons and ties were a number of new things, including plain and valley Silverine rib- bon, moire ombre ribbon, flowered gauze in two widths and velvet two-tone rib- bon in all flower colors. Among the chiffons the novelties noted were bridal lace, ombre, Silverine valley, gold lace in colors, Hillingdon rose yellow, and a crepon chiffon. A steel moire ribbon was shown in two widths of all flower colors and the rubber-backed ribbon was shown in narrow widths. Another nov- elty was an ombre ribbon with the darker color on both edges and light center. It was stated that moire, or watered ribbons are having special vogue among florists. Wertheimer Bros, recently have started manufac- turing ribbons at Paterson, N. J., where a factory with over 100 hands is man- aged by L. G. Wertheimer, S. B. Wert- heimer devoting his energies to the store. The exhibit was in charge of Rupert Hall and Sam. Eintracht. Williams Supply House, Utlca, N. Y. Wire designs with all the joints welded by an electric process instead of being looped as in ordinary wire work was the novel feature of the dis- play of the Williams Florists' Supply House; it attracted much attention and is said to be a cheaper process than the .old one. The EZ carnation tie also was shown on a miniature greenhouse bench. J. J. Williams was in charge. Denver, Colo.— Walter & Richmond have obtained a permit to build a green- house, at 3239 East Second avenue. The coat is $2,000.

The organization of ladies attending the conventions has grown until it now numbers 449 members, forty-nine of whom have been added since July 1 and twenty-nine of whom have joined in Boston. Of the members 185 are thought to have attended the 1914 convention. At the annual meeting, held August 19 and presided over by Mrs. Charles E. Critchell, of Cincinnati, a life member- ship was created, the fee being $10. A committee, with Mrs. W. F. Gude as chairman, was instructed to look after the late William E. Smith's collection of Burusiana and see that it is pre- served. The following officers were elected: President — Mrs. W. F. Gude, Wash- ington. First Vice-President — Mrs. George Asmus, Chicago. Second Vice-President — Mrs. G. L. Grant, Sequel, Cal. Treasurer — Mrs. Albert M. Herr, Lan- caster, Pa. Secretary — Mrs. C. H. Maynard, De- troit. On the evening of August 19 the so- ciety gave its annual reception in the grand ballroom of the Copley Plaza hotel, the attendance being the largest in the organization's history. The af- fair opened with a reception by the offi- cers, after which there was dancing un- til midnight, with buflfet refreshments. AliIEBICAN CASNATION SOCIETY. President S. J. Goddard occupied the chair at a meeting of the American Carnation Society held at Boston Au- gust 20. The Iroquois hotel was select- ed as the place for the annual exhibition and convention at Buffalo in January, the aflfair to bie conducted on the same lines as the successful one at Cleveland last January. The premium list was adopted and the retailers' display pro- vided for in the same way as at Cleve- land. Secretary Baur was instructed to prepare a program. AMERICAN SOSE SOCIETT. President Wallace R. Pierson present- ed a detailed report of the societj-'s activities at a meeting of the American Rose Society, held at Boston, August 20, and there was a lengthy discussion of the work, principally as it related to the test rose gardens, in a number of which the society is interested. E. G. Hill gave it as his opinion that bet- ter results would be obtained by center- ing the society's work in the one garden in which it is cooperating with the government at Washington. On mo- tion of Robert Pyle, it was decided that a general committee of three be ap- pointed to have supervision of all the work of the society in the matter of test rose gardens, with a local sub- committee of three to assist in the work in each of the gardens in which the so- ciety is now or may become interested. The Hubbard gold medal was presented to M. H. Walsh for having raised Ex- celsa, the rose said to be the most use- ful variety produced in the last five years. Mr. Hill made the address and Mr. Walsh responded briefly. A silver medal was awarded to John Cook for Radiance, but Mr. Cook, who is 81 years old, was unable to make the trip from Baltimore. The matter of the place to hold the March exhibition was left in the hands of the executive committee W. F. Kasting invited the society to Buffalo. FLORISTS' TELEGRAPH DELIVERY. The Florists' Telegraph Delivery is the live organization of the day and is a big factor in doing for the S. A. F. what the S. A. F. has long been unable to do for itself and that is, to bring in the retailers. Instead of waiting for the present society to make advances, this purely business organization began by making it a prerequisite for mem- bership that the applicant should also be a member of the S. A. F. President Bertermann stated that this has re- sulted in eighty-four retailers joining the S. A. F. At the annual meeting at Boston August 19, the reports of Presi- dent Irwin C. Bertermann, Secretary Albert Pochelon and Treasurer W. L. Rock showed such excellent progress in the last year that they were unani- mously reelected, as was Vice-president W. F. Gude. O. J. Olson, G. E. M. Stumpp and Harry Papworth were elected directors. The meeting was the largest and most enthusiastic the or- ganization has yet had. prospect of a highly succesisful exhibi- tion, with a large attendance of the-pub- lic assured. All that seems ileeded is a good showing by eastern exhibitors. CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY. The Chrysanthemum Society of Amer- ica was scheduled for a mid-year meet- ing at Boston this week for the purpose of completing the details for the ex- hibition to be held at Indianapolis in November, but President Kleinheinz was marooned in Europe and Secretary Johnson was not present. There was a conference between Vice-president Baur and C. H. Totty, chairman of the ex- ecutive committee, but no general meet- ing was held. Mr. Baur brought word from Indianapolis that there is every SWEET PEA SOCIETY. The American Sweet Pea Society held a brief session at Boston August 19. In the absence of President Morse and Vice-president Kirby, Ex-presddent Sim occupied the chair. Secretary Bunyard stated that there was no special busi- ness to come up at this time, but there was informal discussion as to the place for the annual exhibition of 1915, which is in the hands of the executive com- mittee to be decided. New York would like to keep the show another year, as interest has just begun to awaken in the flower and a greatly improved show- ing is confidently expected. Newport and Bar Harbor also are candidates for the 1915 meeting place. SOCIATION. ssociation held tosday, August sing its twenty- iation is in the FLORISTS' HAIl/ The Florists' Hai| its annual meeting 20, at Boston. Af tej^ seventh year the a| best condition in its career. A larger reserve fund, totaling $33,145.76; a cash balance of $27,734.80; a larger amount of risks, and a less amount paid out in losses during the last year, all point to a successful year just closed. The total number of members is now 1,609, and the total insurance covers 39,303,677 feet of glass. During the last year an equivalent of 114,056 square feet of sin- gle thick glass was broken by hail, for which the association paid $5,702.80; and an equivalent of 197,458 square feet of double thick glass was broken, which cost the association $13,822.03. Since the organization of the association, in 1887, 2,100 losses have been adjusted, involving a total expenditure of nearly $300,000. The ofKcers of the association are: President, E. G.

At a meeting of the executive com- mittee of the National Association of Gardeners, held in Boston, August 19, it was decided to hold the next annual meeting of the organization in Phila- delphia in December. In the afternoon of August 19 the as- sociation held its usual summer meet- ing with a good attendance, a number of papers pertaining to craftsmanship being presented. AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY. The annual meeting of the American Gladiolus Society was held at Boston, August 19, with a larger attendance than for several years. Nearly the whole afternoon was spent in the discussion of the society's welfare. A committee, headed by Montague Chamberlain, was appointed to .revise the by-laws. In view of the next meeting being in San Francisco, the executive committee was instructed to consider and act on a prop- osition also to hold a show somewhere in the east. An hour or more was spent in a fruitless attempt to draw a line be- tween amateur and professional grow- ers, and to get the question out of the way, it finally was referred to the com- inittee on new by-laws. The officers and ("ommittees all reported progress but nothing of special moment. The so- ;iety declined to select an official organ. ' he following new slate of officers was ♦lected: ^ President — Charles Franklin Fair- '■^nks, amateur, Clinton, Mass. , Treasurer — A. E. Kunderd, Goshen, ^tid. Secretary — H. Youell, Syracuse, N.

The society never has staged so large or fine an exhibition as it did at Boston. Its members were to be credited with practically all the cut flowers in the hall, the brightest feature of the ex- hibition. The quality was finer than usual and the staging was better. In the competitive open classes under the society's management, the following awards were made: Twenty-five spikes, Mrs. Francis King— S. E. Spencer, Woburn, Mass., first.

Gude. chairman of the committee on rose gardens at the national capital, presented at the Boston convention, August 19, 1914.] The committee has been actively at work, cooperating with the officials of the United States government, having the rose garden laid out and getting nearly fifty per cent of it planted. You will remember the conditions on which this garden is granted: That the plants and labeling should be furnished free, without cost to the government, by this society or members thereof, after which the Agricultural Department will do the planting and care for same. While the garden has only been in existence about four months, over 300 varieties of roses are already growing nicely. The rose garden is located almost in the center of the 400-acre farm used by the United States Department of Agri- culture as an experimental station for everything pertaining to horticulture and floriculture, and while it is known as Arlington Farms, it is only about ten minutes' ride from the center of the city of Washington, easy of access for anyone interested. The committee feels gratified at the progress made and indulges the hope that before our next annual convention the entire two acres will be planted and the decorative work for the making of an ornamental as well as a test gar- den will be completed.

Turf walks are to be the background. These are now being sown. The rose garden is to be surrounded by a trellis six feet high for the training of climb- ing roses, provided at appropriate points with eight-foot posts and crosspieces over the adjoining walk for the more vigorous climbers, and shorter posts for the pillar roses. It is planned also to have pergolas at the corners of the gar- den and special decorative features at the four entrances. At the most com- manding point on its main walk a low mound will be raised, from which to view the garden. On this an appro- priate, rose-covered shelter is planned, from which can be seen the Capitol, Washington monument and many other notable buildings in Washington, as well as the old LeQ mansion, at Arling- ton, and the new naval radio station. Everything possible will be done to have a beautiful garden, as well as a test garden. "Some of the growers from whom roses were expected last spring did not respond; others sent part and have sig- nified their intention of sending the rest this fall. It will take almost as many roses as we have received to finish planting the part of the garden begun this year. When we started planting in the spring we fully expected to require some of the ijndeveloped half of the garden- for piflAffing -thiB fall and next spring. We are still counting on this additional room being neeessary.

The Horists' Review « THE PRESIDENT'S m 9K ANNUAL ADDRESS |VEE, since you paid me the great honor of electing me to the highest office within your gift, I have antici- pated this hour, not so much to harvest the honors and privileges extended to your presiding officer as for the oppor- tunity to express to you my deep-felt gratitude and appreciation for your kindness and good-will toward me. My home city, Minneapolis, also bids me to extend to you again its thanks for your last year's visit. The benefits of your coming to. our city have been manifold to our people, and the lessons taught us through your convention gar- den have taken root and will bear fruit forever after. Our Conventions. I hope that your coming to the coun- try west of the Mis- sissippi river the sec- ond time in the his- tory of the society has convinced those who attended the last convention that the great western coun- try is well worthy of your coming again. I also hope that the fa- vorable reports about last year's conven- tion will convince those who did not at- tend that it was no mistake to come so far west — really, the west only begins where we met last year — and if, as a national association, we want nation-wide recognition and prog- ress, we must come west once in a while, for a twofold pur- pose; first, to help ad- vance the possibili- ties of horticultural ile\ elopment, and, sec- ond, to share in the benefits of such de- velopment. From the society's fiiiancial point o f View, last year's ven- tiif-e can also be con- s*"lered a success.

Let us extend our pilgrimages to all parts of the country and become a na- tional society from a national as well as a professional point of view. The Last Year. The twelve months passed since we last met have been busy ones for those entrusted with the affairs of our organ- ization. At the board of directors' meeting, held here last March, every member was present, and the many important questions pertaining^ to the Theodore Wirth. KPresldent of the Society of Aiterlcan Florlats.) welfare and healthful growth of the society and the many interests which it represents, were carefully considered and conscientiously acted upon. Your standing committees have also been faithful to their trusts and duties, as their reports will reveal to you. Our Flower Shows. I most earnestly believe that one of the most helpful agents in the advance- ment of our profession and the develop- ment of our interests is our flower shows. The great successful New York show of last March, held by the horti- cultural interests of that city, was made possible through the national flower shows held previously in Chi- cago, Boston and New York. We have no better means of getting next to and educating the public, our customers, to our aims, means and powers, than through such demon- strations of our skill and achievements. Those shows are the best possible adver- tisement of our busi- ness, and the compe- tition and rivalry of professional skill stimulated through .them is our most effi- cient educator and teacher. Therefore I say, let us all support our flower shows of national and local character, to the best of our ability. George Asmus, chairman of the na- tional flower show committee, reports quite promising pros- pects for the next national flower show, to be held in Phila- delphia in the spring of 1916, and I wish to extend to him and his coworkers the so- ciety's thanks for their faithful and successful work, and congratulations for progress achieved. School Gardens. It is eminently proper that we should try to exercise some influence outside of our professional boundaries, or in other words, spread the gospel of garden- ing among laymen and their people. Ben- jamin Hammond is chairman of our school gardens com- mittee, and, as such, has tried to reach every city and village ' 4a The Florists' Revkw AUGDBS 20, 1914. where there is a florist, in his efforts to create and stimulate an interest in school and home gardening. If but a small number of his appeals find a responsive chord, much will have been accomplished through his efforts and activity. Mr. Hammond's enthusiasm induces me to express the wish and hope that a goodly portion of the es- sence of his teaching will be absorbed with profit by members of the society under whoa.e banner he is making his laudable campaign. Gardening, under one name or an- other, above all, means order and clean- liness, and I have often wondered why it is that so many of our commercial establishments are such striking exam- ples of disorder, neglect and ugliness, in place of order, neatness and attrac- tiveness. I have seen some excellent examples of well-kept, attractive com- mercial establishments in the vicinity of our convention city of today, and I hope that they will bring home, to some of those in need of this reminder, the truthfulness of the saying that "we might with profit practice ourselves what we try to teach." Tariff and Legislation. As I am not engaged in the commer- cial business of our trade, I believe you will forgive me if I admit the fact that I have given no special attention to tariff and legislation as a part of my official duties. I feel that my ap- pointees to that important committee are able, and have taken good care of the interests entrusted to their care. Our society never had a more efficient and faithful officer as chairman of any committee, of whom we could say with such propriety that he is the right man in the right place, than our friend, William F. Gude, chairman of the tariff and legislation committee and our rep- resentative in Washington, D. C, his home town. I venture to say that he has, at all times, made all the hay he could for us while the sun was shining, and that every bit of it is under a waterproof roof. The Smith IVIemorial. We should indeed do our best to erect an appropriate memorial to our beloved departed leader and friend, William Robertson Smith, to whose efforts alone is due our possession of a national charter, the only one ever granted by the United States Congress to any such organization. W. F. Gude, chairman, reports that his committee is most favorably in- clined to recommend that this memo- rial shall be in the form of a horticul- tural school or garden, conducted along more practical lines than most existing institutions of this character have so far followed. To assist in such a plan of practical education, which would surely have met with the approval of him whom we wish to honor, would indeed be the most appropriate form of tribute we could give to him and his memory. Every horticulturist, professional and amateur, employer and employee, should willingly and readily contribute his mite towards such a worthy object. It behooves our organization to take the lead in this movement, and through united action we shall earn and receive the moral and financial support of the national government. Many progress- ive and influential men outside of our profession and from all parts of the country, who are also great admirers of the man whose memory we wish to perpetuate, will gladly aid us. We can- not expect to carry out so large and far-reaching an undertaking through our own resources alone, but we not only can, but must take a leading part in its launching as well as in its de- velopment. For this work we should prepare ourselves and I venture to make the following suggestions: First, that the W. B. Smith memorial committee be made a permanent standing commit- tee, similar in appointment, service and number to the national flower show committee; second, that this committee be instructed not only to further the financial and other interests pertaining to the creation of a memorial as out- lined, but that it also formulate for its own guidance a plan of work by which it would become an acceptable advisory board to the authorities under which the W. R, Smith memorial garden or school of practical horticulture would eventually be conducted; third, that the committee be requested to consider and report to the society within reasonable time the possibility and advisability of creating a professorship, to begin with, at some leading horticultural school, to be endowed by our society, whose pur- pose would be to inaugurate the prac- tical methods and means of teaching we desire to have adopted at the pro- posed memorial school. That we shall get the moral and ac- tive support of our national govern- ment in this or any other worthy under- taking, if we go about it in a right, business-like, progressive manner, I feel doubly assured by the ready assistance given us for the rose test garden now established on government land at Arlington Farms. I wish it distinctly understood that my suggestions in connection with the proposed W^. R. Smith school are not intended to cast the least reflection upon the efficiency of any one of the many excellent state colleges which have rendered us in the past service of inestimable value in many directions. Besides the services rendered through their regular courses of study of horti- culture and its branches, they have always given us willing, efficient h^p through the holders of our official posi- tions of botanist, entomologist and plant pathologist. I wish to call your special attention to the suggestions of- fered in the communication of Pro- fessor W. E. Freeman, plant patholo- gist of the University of Minnesota. His suggestions, in the main, embody the idea that we ought to inaugurate a policy of permanent constructive work in our scientific researches en- trusted to those officers. I believe he is absolutely right. This work could eventually be entrusted to the staff of the proposed W. R. Smith school, which would in itself be an assurance of the carrying out of the policies suggested by Professor Freeman. Our Convention Gardens. I can truthfully say that in all my professional life I have never experi- enced more pleasure and satisfaction than in the success of our convention gardens. The willing, enthusiastic and efficient work of our Boston friends, and the support given by the progress- ive exhibitors represented in the out- door plant exhibit at the last and this year's conventions, conclusively prove to me that I am not mistaken in placing the value of those gardens as secondais only to that of our flower shows. Our trade exhibits are most valuable and are, to a great extent, the mainstay of our conventions, but I have alwaya ielt that they are a trade exhibit puie and simple, interesting and instructive only to the trade itself. They show us all progress made from year to year in everything we need in our business iu all its many ^details. Our aims, hov. - ever, should go farther. We must sho'v ourselves, and the public as well, what we have achieved, and we must educate the latter through such appropriate ex- hibitions to make use of our labors, our knowledge and our experience to improve, beautify and better the home surroundings. We must show them how it can be done. Our mission must be to help them, and we cannot help them without helping ourselves. I sincerely hope that the convention garden will become a permanent fea- ture of our conventions, and since it is, as I believe, the adopted policy of our society to select its convention cities from its own point of view of possible advancement and benefit and not from one of offered entertainment and out- side attractions, I trust that the pos- sibilities offered by cities for such ;i convention garden will always be a strong factor in deciding where the convention shall be held. I believe that the present method of financing this undertaking will, in most instances, be the most feasible one, and that under all circumstances the society should as sume full responsibility and control of it, financially and otherwise. Affiliation. I have studiously gone through the messages of my predecessors of the last twelve years and find that the prob- lem of affiliation has been in the mind of most of them in one form or another. My personal belief is that the different kindred associations, organized for the advancement of the specialized branches of our profession to whicli they are devoted, are better able to attend to those interests than any ap- pointed committee of the national so- ciety possibly could be. Your board of directors has given this important question careful consid- eration, and I believe that the plan submitted through the suggested amend- ments to our constitution and by-laws represents the best solution of this long pending question, at least for the pres- ent. I sincerely hope that the great majority will approve the plan as pre sented and that the recommendation of the board of directors will be adopted. The main object of affiliation at this time is to establish such relative and representative connections between the national society, kindred associations and clubs as will afford united action on questions of general importance, ami this I believe the proposed amendment- would bring about. The International Union. Through Leonard Barron our atteu tion has been called to the International Union of Professional Horticulturists of Europe, organized for the purpose of protecting the .interests of commercial horticulture involved in questions of tariff and other legislation, and pro viding for the registering and nomen clature of plants and all other matters pertaining to the advancement and pro [CoDclnded on pan 46.1 AUOOBT 20, l*li. The Florists' Rev^ ADAPTATION <^ OF PLANTS TO SOILS I HE GEEATEST advance in knowledge concerning the adaptation of crops to soils has been achieved through practice and experience rather than by means of field and laboratory studies A the soil. There are many conditions iside from the surface texture which iJay a part in this adaptation, such as the nature of the substratum, depth of water table, etc.; and some insight into the subject may also be had by study- ing the distribution of plants as given in any flora. "Where a region has been settled for many generations, and de- forestation and agricultural practices have been carried on extensively, we find many changes in our soils and con- sequent modification of the flora. Some of the many factors determining the distribution Of plants are complex and difficult to eliminate from other factors, and at pres- ent not enough is known about them to determine their real significance. Soil Chajiges. An address by Prof. George B. Stone, of Am- herst, Mass., before the Society of American Florists, at the Boston convention, August 20. remain viable only a few days or weeks, while others will do so for ten to twen- ty-five or more years. Seeds with a limited term of viability must there- fore find suitable conditions for ger- mination during this time, while the others can afford to await their oppor- tunity. Moisture Plays Fart. Most garden seeds require a minimum of two to three per cent of soil moisture to germinate at all, and for the best germination a higher percentage is re- quired; therefore during dry seasons the seeds of some crops fail to catch. Purslane and pigweed seed, however, will germinate with a small amount of Ou soils which only a half century ago supported certain types of vegetation we now find an entirely dif- ferent flora owing to changes in the nature of the soil, lack of humus con- tributing largely to this modification. Some plants, such as the Canada thistle, were more common forty years ago in some locations than at present, while some other plants which have been growing for some time under cultivation have re- cently escaped and become pests. It would naturally be supposed that this is due to a change in the environ- ment, such as soil conditions or source of seed. But whether there is in plants, as in races of men, a tend- ency to aggressiveness which sometimes unaccountably breaks out al- though usually lying dormant, we will uot venture to say; still there is lome •'\ idence to support such a theory. ^ome plants are confined to bogs, ^I'lne to sandy soils, and others to heavy, " "inpact soils, and many are adapted to '» great variety of conditions. Others !"« limited to salt marshes, and still •others to territory within a few miles •^^ the seacoast. Elevation, humus and ''""I moisture play an important role in I'lnnt distribution, and some plants are ''■^^tricted by what is termed "seed i:il)it, " the seeds of certain species re- '•' "ling their germinating capacity for ^""le time and others for only a few ^^'■I'ks or even days. For instance, the '"''"'Is of the willow, poplar, alder and "tticr species native to wet locations A COMPLIMENT TO THE TRADE "The highest conception of intensive horticulture has been realized by florists and market gArdeners, and one reason why they do not receive more help from the experiment station is because their knowledge of plants and handling them far exceeds that of the men devoting their time to scientific research. When these workers begin to realize the great degree of skill possessed by the florists and market gardeners, perhaps they may be able to suggest some ideas that will be of value." soil moisture and flourish when more desirable plants will not; therefore dur- ing periods of drought we find purslane overrunning gardens and pigweed com- pletely monopolizing newly sown lawns. The percentage of air in soils plays its part in plant adaptation, as do also the chemical constituents and biological characters. The soil texture or mechan- ical properties, which are inseparably connected with the air and moisture of the soil, together with the capillarity, etc., are also important factors in crop production and plant distribution. It should be stated, however, that the spe- cific effect on plant distribution of any one of the factors mentioned is not known; still, a great deal is known con- cerning the effects of chemical constit- uents on plants, much more study hav- ing been given to this subject. Soil differs materially in its chemical com- position and mechanical properties, and the configuration of the plant is greatly modified by the different types. Even in a small territory there are characteristic variations in the soil which are of suffi- cient importance to justify specializa- tion in farming. Lettuce Soils. The river valleys furnish typical soils adapted to the growth of special crops, the meteorological conditions of these localities also emphasizing the -individ- ual character of the crops. The coarse and more friable soils of the Atlantic sea coast (truck soils) are light and porous and are used largely for such market garden crops as lettuce, cucum- bers, tomatoes, radishes, etc. The soil characteristic of the Boston district is admirably adapted to truck farming, being quite loose and easily worked. It is especially adapted to head lettuce, which is grown more skillfully and success- fully in that region than anywhere else. It is char- acterized by a predomi- nance of the coarser parti- cles and a relatively small amount of the finer ma- terials such as silts and clay. Except in some few localities the interior soils are not well adapted to the growth of head lettuce; therefore the curly or open type is grown in the heav- ier and more compact soils of the middle west. In all its stages head lettuce re- quires a loose textured soil for perfect development. These soils are manured heavily year after year, and in the greenhouse are never changed, and the large amount of organic matter furnished by the decom- posed horse manure renders the soil even better adapted to this particular crop. A more compact soil, such as that of the Connecticut valley, is characterized by the large amount of fine sand and silt. This soil has long been devoted to the growth of tobacco, onions and cu- cumbers and, to some extent, melons. It contains little organic matter, since commercial fertilizers are usee Sherman Floral Co. ^ T^^I^P^S^ rn^gnj^n' -^.y- --'. ~^7-**. .■'.»f".'t' (,' ■ ' .AoaD8T-20, 1914. The Florists' Review ^ THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. [Oontioued fiom page 42.] t.'ction of all branches of horticulture. Yottr board of directors recommends that the S. A. F. apply for membership in this organization; the expense of membership at the time of consideration was $10 per year, but the fee will eventually be increased. The board (oels that the union is worthy and en- • tled to our support and that sooner i later we. might derive benefit from such association. Each association ;i:omber of the union is entitled to be (•.presented by two delegates, and it is jsoposed that the S. A. F. be repre- s nted by proxy or by such members of (,,!!• society as may be in Europe at the time the union meets in congress, which would entail little expense, if any, on mir society. I trust that the recom- iiiondation of the board of directors will meet with your approval. Some of the vice-presidents have made use of the financial aid granted them through a small appropriation to defray the expenses of a campaign in behalf of the society. I hope that the results will prove satisfactory. I wish to repeat Ex-president Farqu- har's excellent suggestion, that our vice- presidents will be able to exercise the greatest influence by calling meetings iu their respective territories and by addressing such gatherings in behalf of our society on general topics tending to advance our aims and interests. Financially our society is in a flour- ishing condition, and under the watch- ful and experienced guidance of our most eflScient treasurer, William F. Kasting, our treasury will grow in pro- portion to our numerical strength and progressive policies. We must not, how- ever, let our prosperity lead us into untimely or, from a financial standpoint, premature undertakings which will in- fringe on our capital or overtax our income. We should build up our treas- ury, which is our working fund, and keep it intact so that eventually the income from the capital will suffice to finance our undertakings. Our first president, to whom all who have known him well refer with love, profound respect and admiration, was a gardener, and as I am also a gardener, I feel greatly honored and am exceed- ingly proud of the distinction conferred upon me in calling me to the same office which he so ably filled for the first three years of this society's existence. Since you have shown me this confidence and your good will and friendship in such a marked degree, I am led to believe that you will bear with me if I make a suggestion which I fear will not meet with general favor, but which I know Will find a responsive echo in the minds and hearts of many of our most pro- gressive and liberal minded members, and which I believe will sooner or later be most seriously considered and finally adopted. Agriculture, in its broad translation, nieans the cultivation of the ground for the purpose of raising food for man and o«'ast. Horticulture stands for the cul- tivation of a garden with three main divisions, namely, fruit, flowers and vegetables. Every florist, worthy of the Jiame, is a horticulturist, but every horticulturist is not a florist. <^onsidering the broadened interests th i^i!™^ of our society of today, and .10 liberal, progressive policies which it of t^""*^ *° follow in the carrying out ot the plans which at the present time Wm. R. Nicholson. (Chairman of Local Sports Committee.) are its principal aims and tendencies, I am of the opinion that the present name of our society is a misnomer, be- cause we really are "The American Society of Professional Horticultur- ists." Ex-president Stewart, in his message of 1907, quoted Andrew Jack- son Downing, who said, "Horticulture is the refined essence of agriculture, agriculture being the basis of all wealth," Brothers of our noble call- ing, why not make all followers of our profession feel welcome to our ranks and within them by calling ourselves what we are, horticulturists? I hope to live to see this come about. Wherever we go to hold our annual meetings, we meet the real workers, and Boston is not only no exception, but a notable example of what hard work and efficiency, together with har- mony and unity of purpose, can accom- plish. Long before we leave Boston we shall all realize what our friends here have done for us for a successful con- vention and for our comfort and pleas- ure. In conclusion, I wish to thank my fellow officers, the board of directors and the Boston workers of this conven- tion, for their splendid work and co- operation. The assistance given me by our secretary, John Young, made my labors a pleasure and not a burden, and I wish to say that it would be poor busi- ness policy to dispense with the services of our present secretary and our treas- urer as long as we can induce them to accept and retain their respective offices. OBITUARY. Mrs. E. A. Fetters. The numerous friends of E. A. Fet- ters, the Detroit retailer, will regret to learn of the sudden death of his wife, who was drowned off the Canadian shore Sunday, August 16. Mr. Fetters and his family have a summer cottage on the Canadian shore, and Sunday morning Mr. and Mrs. Fetters and their son-in-law went out fishing on Lake St. Clair. About noon a squall upset their small boat, throw- ing the three occupants into the water. Mr. Fetters, himself a good swimmer, made several attempts to save his wife, but finally became exhausted and nearly lost his own life. After clinging to the overturned boat for three hours, both he and his son-in-law were finally rescued. Mrs. Fetters was 45 years of age. She was charitably inclined, and the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Detroit Florists' Club, which was organized last winter to carry on charitable work and of which Mrs. Fetters was chair- man, was the outcome of her efforts to bring the wives and sisters of the De- troit florists into closer relationship. H. S. WiUiam H. Diehl. William H. Diehl, for the last eleven years with Penn the Florist, of Boston, and a competent decorator and designer, was drowned at Sebago lake. Me., August 13, while fishing for bass with a friend. He had hooked a large bass and, in try- ing to land it, fell overboard. Being a competent swimmer, he started to swim ashore, but was taken with cramps and sank within 200 feet of land. The deceased was well known and re- spected in florists' circles and was 45 years of age. He was unmarried and leaves two brothers and two sisters to mourn his loss. 46 The Florists' lleview AVQVHT 20, 1914. Established, 1897, by Q. L. ORAlTr.

The Review brings results. The nature of the florists' business is such that the word "credit" should not be employed. A florist should open only "accommodation accounts," the name implying that they are to be settled monthly. The florist who gives credit without, or in spite of, information as to the standing of the buyer is the same one who is lax in his attention to collections and who becomes peevish when asked to pay his own bills.

At pres- ent, however, even poor asters are sell- ing at good prices compared to the quality. Field-grown carnations are somewhat more plentiful and of some- what improved quality. There will be no shortage of roses this summer; the fall crops already arc coming on. Beauties never have been so abundant as this summer, and roses are much more plentiful than usual at this date. The market never had so great a variety of roses as it has now and the quality of the stock is ex- cellent, though really long stems are scarce. There begins to be a little better de- mand for cattleyas, although it does not take much stock to satisfy it. Val- ley is selling steadily and already there is a reduction in supply; the holders of cold storage pips are reducing the numbers put in sand, with the evident purpose of making their supply go as far as it will in case the new crop does not leave Germany. Lilies never have cut so much figure in the market during the summer as has been the case this year. Gigan- teums have been in large supply prac- tically every day since Easter and rubrums never have been grown so heavily as this year. Auratum, on the other hand, does not show an increase in supply equal to that of the other varieties. Some growers have no aura- tums at all this year, but any whole- saler who needs them for an order has no trouble in finding the stock. The situation in greens shows little change from week to week. Asparagus strings are little seen, and seldom called for. Smilax is equal to require- ments; the growers appear to all get this article ready for market at about the same time, but it is not produced in as large quantities as a few years ago. Adiantum is in light request this season. Ferns, of course, are abundant. The jobbers are beginning to consider the storage problem; many of them are contracting for smaller supplies than usual. Betailers' Outing. A boat trip, conducted by the Retail Florists' Association, down the drainage canal, through the locks to Joliet, and return, was enjoyed by its members and their friends, August 18. The boat left the Clark street bridge at 9:30 a. m., and a stop at Thirty-first and Western avenue was made to pick up members who found it more convenient to come on board at that point. Music and danc- ing were enjoyed by those who cared for them.

Notes from Maywood. A cablegram from Albert F. Amling brings the good news that he is on neutral territory, at Copenhagen, Den- mark. Judging from the message, how- ever, he seems to have been much in- convenienced. Hugo Luedtke is busy this week re- building his range of greenhouses. Henry Wehrmann returned Saturday, August 15, from a trip to the lakes. The Weiss & Meyer Co. is planting the new houses. Several truckloads of American Beauty plants from Poehl- mann Bros. Co. have already arrived. p]rnst C. Amling has an elegant lot of Eussell roses, a sight worth seeing. Walter Burhop has his place in good trim. Chrysanthemums and sweet peas are grown. Wm. Wichtendahl, who is now a Ford owner, finds that his car gives him much needed recreation. Wm. H. Amling is getting ready for his annual automobile trip to Milwau- kee, his second home.

American Beauties and the newer va- rieties of roses are the predominating crops here. Various Notes. John Poehlmann does not change his opinion of the Mrs. Eussell rose; he has said all summer that the variety is a sterling acquisition to the list. He says the one bench of plants grown last year did good work by supplying prop- agating material that gave 80,000 young plants, worth far more than the winter cut of flowers would have been. For various reasons the party from Chicago to the convention was the smallest in many years. Two special cars were attached to the Lake Shore train that left at 8 p. m. August 16', the afternoon of Monday being spent at Niagara Falls. The reservations of berths numbered thirty-two, including those from the west. Many had, how- ever, gone ahead.

While the retail end has been quiet, there are indications of some improve- ments, althou-ih funeral work has been about the only business done this sum- mer. In looking over the stock coming in daily at the different wholesale houses, r found the quality of flowers improving, due to the cooler nights we have been having for tiie last ten davs. Outdoor stock, too, is looking much bet- ter of late, though we have had no rain to speak of. Roses are in big crop just now. Beauties are quite plentiful and there is an abundance of Killarneys, Ward, Russell and Kaiserin. Carna- tions that can be classed as good are practically out of tlie market and the few coming in find a good sale. Asters are in heavy supply, but most of them are of poor quality. There are, how- ever, enough of the good quality to supply the demand. The average price for good stock is about $3 per hundred. Gladioli continue to arrive in heavy supply and are offered at low prices. The demand has been for home-grown stock. ^ Valley seems none too plenti- ful. Everbloomiug tubero.ses are com- ing in, being late this year, owing to the dry summer. A heavy cut in these is juomised. Easter lilies of fine qual- ity can be had daily at .$8 per. hundred. Fancy ferns and asi)aragus have had a good demand of late. Club Meeting. The annual meeting of the Florists' Club was held .\ugu.st U, with the Con- nou Floral Co., Webster Groves. This was the first outdoor meeting of the year and the attendance was splendid. The meeting was held on the lawn iii front of the old home of the late Chas. Counon, who was elected i)resident of the club thirty-seven years ago. Presi- dent Pilcher ojjened the meeting, with all his staff of officers in attendance. After the regular business had been disposed of, the committees were called upon for final reports. R. J. Windier, state vice-president of the S. A. F., re- ported on all matters pertaining to' the S. A. F. and said he was sorrv so small a representation from St. Louis would be at the convention at Boston.

An inspection of the well kept range, amounting to 2.5,000 feet of glass, was made. A vote of thanks was extended Mr. Connon for his entertainment and the most enjoyable afternoon spent at his place.

America is the only variety that sells well. Asters are in strong supply. Sem- ple's Branching leads, with some choice stock. Easter lilies are plentiful. They go slowly. Valley is dull. Cattleyas are scarce; indeed, it is hard to get any number. The tone of the market is a little below that of a week ago. Florists' Supplies. A brief telegram in the general news of this paper last week chronicled the im- |)ortant nieeting of the fourteen supply houses of Chicago, New York and Phila- deljihia, held in the banquet room of the Adel[)hia hotel, in this city, August 10. This meeting, the first in the history of the florists' supply business, was brought about iiy war conditions. It has occa- sioned much conmient. Here are the views given to The Review this week by two of this city's leading business men: Charles E. Meehan, vice-president of the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., thinks that it was a great mistake for the florists' supply houses not to exhibit at Boston. Mr. Meehan believes that business will go steadily on in spite of the war, that the supplies should be drawn from every available channel in this country and that samples of these supplies should have been shown at Boston; that the fail- ure to do so hurt the whole business, as well as discouraging the efforts of the S. A. F., increasing rather than diminish- ing the war scare. Bernard Eschner, president of the M. BERGER BROS. WILL BE IN A POSITION TO OFFER YOU THE BEST SUMMER FLOWERS Valley Lilies Maryland Roses Asters Gladioli Carnations YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO CALL AND SEE OUR NEW QUARTERS AT 1225 RAGE ST. PHILADELPHIA L Rice Co., believes that an exhibit at Bos- ton was impossible in the face of existing conditions. While all the supply houses had their samples already packed for shipment to Boston, there were no re- serves on hand and none likely to come. The time was too short to secure satis- factory American substitutes. Mr. Esch- ner hopes that this blow to imports will bring out the ingenuity and resources of the supply men to an extent that will lead to a great future in the business. No efl'ort will be spared to get together quickly the best that this country afford^, while ingenuity and skill are already fir work to make substitutes that will prov > acceptable. A Jolly Outing. W. F. Lacroix entertained twenty ot the bright young men of the Leo Niessc i Co. at his lilac farm at Buena, X. J • August 16. The party left this city o i the 9 a. m. train. They were met at tl ' station by Mr. Lacroix, who took then over to his place in automobiles. Tl'' AUODST 20, 1914. ..■»»»»ritm The Florists^ Review 57 [American Beauties mer flowprs.

There were a sur- prisingly large number set aside in the reserve section, fully five houses of plants; kentias that had been ordered in the late winter or spring, mostly for September delivery, a mark of con- fidence to which a house may point with pleasure. The Cocos Weddelliana range, the pride of Riverton, has taken still an- other step forward. The cocos have passed through the medium size into the size for specimen plants. Cocos Weddelliana have been produced this season that stood four and one-half feet high, perfect in symmetry and foliage. That is an achievement. Add to this that the cocos are equal, if not superior, to anything ever produced before at Dreer's; picture the tables filled with plants of size after size, and you can almost see the range of these graceful palms at Riverton. Phoenix Roebelenii is more than holding its own, for now there is a story of a man who watered his phoenix thoroughly and closed his house for five weeks.

BAYERSDORFER & CO., 1129 Areh StrMt, PHILADELPHIA, PA. nix Eoebelenii is a pretty tough plant. Areca lutescens seems to be looking up again. So good a palm ought to be kept in the front rank. The fern selection, or more properly speaking, the nephrolepis selection, has resolved itself to this: Only the best true types are grown in quantity. Bos- toniensis, Scottii and elegantissima improved, these three will answer all ordinary purposes. There is a new fern that promises well for cutting, Adiantum cuneatum California. The big cut flower men, or rather, cut fern men, are taking note of it. The fronds are green, never bronzy, and they have long stems. This color is due to the fact that the spores on the under side of the fronds are not fertile. They remain dark. Adiantum California, as it will probably be called, is reproduced from divisions. Asparagus Madagascariensis is an attractive little fern, or small specimen plant. Its neat, compact habit and structure and dark green foliage have an added charm in orange red berries that are borne even on small plants. Ardisia crenulata in 5-inch pots has been well grown and well berried on the Dreer place at Riverview. There are 3,200 of them in fine shape. Prob- ably another such lot has never been grown on this side of the Atlantic. Crotons are fast becoming a River- view specialty. Careful selection of the best varieties only and skillful culture are putting the croton into a position of prominence. Cannas are receiving much intelli- gent attention. There are some promis- ing novelties being tried, and some hopeful looking seedlings have been raiseci on that place. The Madison Basket^ craft Co.

I would like to know how to destroy wild cherry bushes, which have grown near a wall. E. L. The best plan is, of course, to dig the plants out by the roots. If you do not want to go to this trouble, cut them down to the ground and cut down any sprouts which may appear. Do this several times during the season, and you will soon kill out the cherries, which, while they are pretty in flower and fruit, are always headquarters for tent caterpillars. C. W.

William A. Peterson, of Peterson Nursery, Chicago, says orders for peony roots for fall delivery have been accel- erated by the war. Early in the season some unusually large orders were booked and now the smaller orders are coming in rapidly, giving this season the pros- pect of being the best yet. WILL MEET AT CHATTANOOGA. Convention of Southern Nursersnnen. The seventeenth annual meeting of the Southern Nurserymen's Association is to be held at Signal Mountain Inn, Chattanooga, Tenn., August 26 and 27. Appreciating the value of its work for the members of the association and for the trade in general, and recognizing the opportunities for still greater bene- fits in this direction, the organization is making a strong campaign for more members. As the advantages to be gained by a large number of nursery- men working together through their as- sociation are becoming more and more understood and valued by the trade at large, the membership list of this or- ganization should show a good increase this year. The annual dues, $2, are so small individually as to be inconsider- able. The Signal Mountain Inn, which has been selected as the meeting place, is about thirty minutes' car ride out on the mountains from Chattanooga. The hotel will furnish a fine assembly hall, and those attending can secure their meals there and return to Chattanooga for the night, if they prefer. The present oflScers of the associa- tion are: President, J. R. Mayhew, of Waxahachie, Tex.; vice-president, Har- vey M. Templeton, of Winchester, Tenn., and secretary-treasurer, A. I. Smith, of Knoxville, Tenn. The Program. The list of papers included in the program and the names of the speakers give promise of a most interesting meeting. Two features have been in- cluded, also, which are sure to promote the mutual interest of the members and the helpfulness of the gathering. One of these, the quostionbox, has always been a valuable part of the program of this association. The other, a luncheon after the morning session on Thursday, at which all those in attendance are expected to be present, will be followed by a few impromptu speeches by the nurserymen present, and will doubtless bring out points of value. The program in full is as follows: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 10 A. M. Call to order by president. Invocation. Address of welcome, mayor of Chattanooga. Response, Harvey M. Templeton, Winchester, Tenn. President's annual address, J. R. Mayhew, Waxahachie, Texas. Appointment of committees.

It was with regret that members of the American Association of Nursery- men heard last June of the tendered resignation of John Hall, who had for so long served as secretary of the or- ganization. Bealizing the difficulty of finding another equally capable man for the place, the association elected Mr. Hall to succeed himself until a successor could be found by the execu- tive committee. This committee, con- sisting of J. H. Dayton, of Painesvilo, O. ; Thomas B. Meehan, of Dresher, P; ,^ and J. B. Pilkington, of Portland, Ori ., later interviewed Mr. Hall, who agrei il to continue if the association woiiul supply additional compensation for the office, which would enable him to em ploy clerical help for detail work, etc. The committee, through the chairman, Mr. Dayton, has now advised Mr. Hall of the members' unanimous agreement to his request and of his selection lo succeed himself. The association is as sured, therefore, of the continued ser- vices of its capable secretary. CONTRACTS OF SALE. Express Agreement Necessary. One of the elementary principles of law which govern the validity of con- tracts of sale is that in order that an offer to buy or sell may result in a binding agreement, there must be an express meeting of the minds of the parties as to the goods which are to be delivered and as to the prices to be charged. Application of this principle to the nursery trade is well illustrated by the decision of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in the case of the Shady Hill Nursery Co. vs. John Waterer & Sons, 60 Northeastern Ee- porter 789. Plaintiff dealt at wholesale and retail in nursery stock in Boston, and defendant, having nurseries in England, had filled orders for plaintiff. Plaintiff wrote inquiring the cost of rhododendrons in specified quantities, sizes, quality, variety, colors, etc., and stating that plaintiff would "cable as to filling order." Defendant replied, quoting prices, stating that some of the varieties could not be furnished, and suggesting a cable code, which if used by plaintiff would mean that de- fendant should send certain specified plants of those mentioned in plaintiff's letter. In reply to this letter, the plaintiff cabled, "Ship as ordered." Headquarters for CaliM Piivet HedM A full half-million plants for the comins autumn and next spring's shipments.

Plaintiflf considered this message as the closing of a contract, whereby it bought of the defendant rhododendrons of kinds specified in its letter to defend- ant, and at the prices stated in de- fendant's letter to plaintiff. The defendant did not so consider the mes- sage, and made no reply. Having been compelled to purchase the plants else- Mhere at prices in excess of those quoted by defendant, plaintiff sued for damages measured by the amount of such excess. In denying right to re- cover, the court said: Doubtful Message No Order. "The letter of February 10 was not iiu order for any plants.

While the plaintiff was not bound to use the suggested code, if it did not do so, in order to bind the defendant by a contract, it must reply in language which ought to be understood by the defendant to mean that the plaintiff thereby ordered of the defendant cer- tain goods at certain prices. This the message, 'Ship as ordered,' did not do. There had been no order. The message might naturally refer to an order on its way by mail, or to be so sent. It could not be understood to require the defendant to send plants, as to which the only communications between the parties had been a statement that the plaintiff would want them and a request for information as to prices, with a promise to cable as to filling an order, replied to by a list of prices for such of the plants as could be furnished, accompanied by a suggestion of the form which the cable as to filling the order should take if the plaintiff desired the defendant to send those of the rhododendrons which the plaintiff had said it should want, and which the defendant could furnish. The message was not equivalent to an order to the defendant to send such of the rhodo- dendrons mentioned in the letter of February 10 as the defendant had stated prices for. If so intended by the plaintiff, it was not in terms which the defendant ought so to have inter- preted or understood, and, as it did not so understand them, there was no con- tract." S. NEWPOBT, R.

WARD'S CONCERN INCORPORATES. The nursery at Eureka, Cal., estab- lished by Charles Willis Ward, head of the Cottage Gardens Co., of Queens, N. Y., was incorporated August 1, capitalized at $75,000, of which $44,000 has been subscribed. Mr. Ward is the chief stockholder in the concern; the others are L. E. Morris, H. F. Perkins, Elsie Lutgin and David S. Ward, who have twenty-two shares each, and J. P. Mahan, who has one share. H. F. Per- kins, J. P. Mahan and C. W. Ward are the directors. As reported in The Keview for June 11, the company will grow and handle a general line of stock adapted to Pa- cific coast needs. Ornamental trees, plants, shrubbery and flowers, includ- ing evergreens, roses, azaleas and the rhododendron family, as well as classes of fruit trees for wliicli there is a de- mand, will be given attention. The nur- sery grounds will be near Carlotta, where Mr. Ward recently purchased a tract of 220 acres. Of this, 100 acres is already cleared and ready for opera- tions. About 180 acres is adapted to nursery use. LOS ANGELES. The Market.

Boses are slightly less jilentiful, but in sufficient quantity to supply the demands. American Beauties arc not so long-stemmed, but the blooms are good. Aaron Ward, Cecile Brunner and Maryland are all fair in quality and in sufficient supply. There were more of Mrs. Taft last week than of any other variety. The outdoor flowers liold on remarkably well; this is due to the fact that we have had as yet no warm weather to speak of. There are large quantities of scabiosas, gaillard- ias, coreopsis, calliopsis, etc. Sweet peas are on the wane. Now and then one sees a stray bunch of violets, but they are not common or really practical to handle, because they are soft and quite high in price. They are retailing at three small bunches tor 50 cents, with short stems and pale flowers. The most showy commodity of the week has been Lilium rubrum. Down- town florists use them almost exclu- sively for window decoration. Chry- santhemums are Welcome, a few of the I'arly yellows being in evidence. There :ire not many dahlias to speak of, but -Minnie Burgle is still the best seller !ind most in evidence. Gladioli are ^till on the market, but the better va- 'ioties are not up to the mark.

NEW SWEET PEA MONROVIA For several years this has been the best seller on the Los Angeles and otber local markets, and I have decided to offer it to the trade as long as the stock lasts at 98.00 par ounce. Monrovia begins to flower when only about one foot high and continues to bloom prof usely until it reaches 8 feet high outdoors. It will make a splendid greenhouse variety, as the buds do not drop under any conditions. The color is a deep purple outside, inside heliotrope, and it is un- auestionably the finest wioter-blooming pnrple in existence. The seed has been carefully re- selected from large pods only. It was gathered in April and May in the foothill section, and is consequently mature and of high germinating power. It is an exceptionally stout grower and throws long stemmed flowers all through the season, four to six flowers to the stem. This offer will be withdrawn as soon as present stock is exhausted. C. A.

Miss Josie L. Robbie, of Chi(?o, has been spending a few days in San Francisco, visiting nurseries and sight- seeing at the exposition. Miss Robbie is well known in the trade as one of the best-informed women florists in the state Wednesday, August 12, H. Plath, P. Ferrari and nephew, and D. MacRorie departed for Boston to attend the S. A. F. convention. These gentlemen had with them the official invitation to San Francisco for the S. A. F. con- vention in 1915. The American Florist has just com- pleted the construction of a tile floor in the window and has renovated the store in general. It presents a clean and attractive appearance, and, accord- ing to C. A. Stoppenbeck, is fully equipped for a big winter season. The Art Floral Co., which now has Julius Eppstein as one of the man- agers, has been displaying attractive windows during the last week. Huge baskets of Lilium rubrum in one win- dow and an effective arrangement of dahlias in the other attracted the at- tention of many passers-by Wednesday, August 12. Hogan, Kooyman & Co. are showing a fine lot of asters. Mr. Kooyman re- ports the shipping business quite ac- tive. He has received a consignment of over 1,000,000 freesia bulbs, which he is featuring as a specialty. Gardner A. Daily, landscape engineer, has just returned from an outing in the southern part of the state. Mr. Daily's home is at Long Beach, where he spent a good part of his time. W. A. H. SPOKANE, WASH. The Market. Market conditions remain practically unchanged. Asters, which, as a result of the extremely hot weather, were rather smaller than is usual for Spo- kane, are now improving in quality. Gladioli are coming in plentifully and are of good quality. Fine stock may be had for $2 to $3 per hundred. Car- nations are not much in demand, though the quality generally is fair. Business conditions are considered good and are fully up to the usual expectations at this season of the year. Various Notes. The Hoyt Bros. Co. is rearranging the interior of the store and adding more balcony space. Samuel Younkin thinks that when all the improvements have been finished they will have the best arranged store in the northwest. Henry E. Reimers is one florist who can safely be said to be making money this summer. His ice cream and soda fountain business, maintained in con- junction with his retail store, gives him a good income during what would otherwise be a dull time. Paul Winkler has left the employ of A. ,T. Burt, returning to his former employers in Oklahoma.

We should like to get some details i,s to how to sterilize the soil in two I. Id houses. The soil is in solid lionches. 4 W. J. P. It is not possible to sterilize the soil -vhile it is in place in the beds. As a rule, it is easier to remove two inches of soil from the surface every year or two, and replace it with fresh soil, than to go to the trouble of sterilizing it. If suitable soil is difficult to obtain, the soil can be sterilized by placing it in a steam sterilizing box for two or three hours. The box can be made four to eight feet wide and sixteen or more feet long, with sides twelve inches high and a tight-fitting wooden cover. No bot- tom is required. A coil of 1-inch or 1^-inch steam pipes, spaced one foot apart, with the outer pipes six inches from the sides of the box, should be placed in the bottom of the box, which should be filled with soil. While it will often answer if the surface soil to the depth of two inches is sterilized, a depth of four inches would be better. When one has several houses, the box may be set up in the middle of each house in turn. It is possible, by sterilizing soil in this manner, to destroy insects, bacteria and fungi, which are sometimes ex- tremely troublesome in greenhouses. I advise the use of one pound of nitrate of soda with every fifty cubic feet of sterilized soil. T. CUTTINGS BOT IN SAND. Under separate cover we are sending you a sample of the sand we use for propagating, and a few geranium cut- tings that have been in the sand two weeks. If you look carefully, you will note innumerable little white bugs, like thrips, and a few small white worms. What makes the cuttings rotf We have the same trouble with carnations, mums, and all other stock except begonias. At least eighty-five per cent of them rot. The propagating benches have been thoroughly cleaned and have a drainage of four inches of coal ashes. We have tried several different batches of sand, but with the same result. However, this is the first time we have examined ihe cuttings. We keep the glass rather heavily shaded, but it gets quite hot inside. We are located in western Mis- souri. E. F. C. The sand appears to be of fair qual- ity, but it would be improved if you added some fine charcoal or even coal ashes to it. I could not find any of the white bugs referred to. These can be killed either by sterilizing the sand with steam or soaking it with water as near the boiling point as possible.

Ehle, 224 Sanborn Ave., San Jose, Cal Mention The ReTlew When yon writtk cannot propagate geraniums, carnations and other cuttings in this sand. It is well to remember, however, that it is almost impossible to successfully propagate the plants named, and some others, during the hot months. Begonias will root at almost any season, as will practically all foliage plants. Few growers attempt the propagation of car- nations after March 1, or mums after June 1. If you wait until cooler nights arrive, say toward the end of August, you will have less trouble with gera- niums, but in your state October would be sufficiently early to start. C.

Many of us will have passed to the Great Be- yond before the convention comes here again, but we hope all who are coming this week will enjoy themselves and go away with pleasant recollections of the Hub. Various Notes. The prize and exhibition committee of the Massachusetts Horticultural So- ciety sent out requests last week for exhibits for a show in Horticultural hall August 18 to 20. Notices were only received August 14, but we hope to see a fine show all the same. On the evening of August 20 a reception will be held at the hall for S. A. F. visitors. J. P. A. Guerineau, of the T.-J. Grey Co., has returned from a vacation spent at Old Orchard, Me. A. F. Barney, of the same firm, left for his vacation August 15. At Galvin 's, business is reported as quiet. August 15 one window was filled with choice aquatics, a second one with lilies. Daily window changes will be made during convention week. W. A. Riggs, of Auburndale, has built one large new greenhouse this season. His stock of cyclamens, be- gonias and chrysanthemums never looked better. H. M. Robinson & Co. say that the war, unless prolonged, will not seriously interfere with their filling of orders, as they secured heavy stocks of European goods not long ago. Luther A. Breck and C. H. B.

The loss by drowning, August 13, of W. H. Diehl, one of the firm 's most esteemed designers and decorators, caused con- siderable gloom here when the tidings came. The store which has been occupied by Edward MacMulkin, on Boylston street, for a number of years, now is closed and advertised to let. F. W.

The annual outing of the Westchester and Fairfield Horticultural Society was held at Edwards' Rye Beach hotel Au- gust 11. A large number of the mem- bers were present, with their families and friends, and all had an enjoyable time. The trade was well represented by a strong delegation of seedsmen and nurserymen or their representatives. An excellent shore dinner was served and was appreciated by all who partook. A feature of the sports was the old-fash- ioned game of "breaking the flower pots," which caused a great deal of merriment and many a hearty laugh. The sky was overcast, which made con- ditions just right for the more strenu- ous athletic sports. The winners of the various events were as followg: CUDEBROS.CO.

The monthly meeting of the "West- chester and Fairfield Horticultural So- ciety was held August 14 at Doran's hall, Greenwich, Conn. President Robt. Williamson presided over the meeting. The attendance was not up to standard, but, considering the hot weather and other causes, it was fair indeed. Two new members were added and one name was proposed. The final report of the outing committee was received and the committee was discharged with the thanks of the society. A vote of thanks was extended to all who, in various ways, made the outing so enjoyable. Several substantial additions were received for the premium list of the fall show. The schedule will be issued in September and will be much the same as last year's. It will include a number of extra classes, for which spe- cial prizes are offered.

A fine dis- play is anticipated. P. W. P. NEW YORK. The Market. There is no market, and so there is nothing to add to last week's report. There is almost a complete dearth of demand. The weather has been ener- vating; the humidity unbearable. Roses are in good supply, but their lasting quality has been unsatisfactory. Most of the arrivals are short-stemmed and all open quickly. The call for Amer- ican Beauties from Newport and for the steamers is practically closed. There is a good supply of cattleyas, with no change in prices and but light demand. Valley holds firm at the usual summer quotations and lilies, worth far more than they bring, seldom go above $3 per hundred. No carnations worth men- tioning are in the market. A few sweet peas and dahlias are seen. The flood of asters and gladioli is now on. Both have the same low range of values. Few rise above 50 cents per hundred; thou- sands are disposed of at half that fig- ure, and the remainder to the dump. Various Notes. Ralph M. Ward is back again in New York after his visit to the antipodes and .Japan. Mrs. A. Hanig, who has been in a Brooklyn hospital for some time after a serious operation, is recovering.

The display of gladioli at Flowerfield, L. I., this year is larger and finer than ever. Those who visit Boston should round out the week with a day at Flowerfield, with I. S. Hendrickson. George E. Baldwin, the orchid grower of Mamaroneck, N. Y., reports an ex- cellent season. Four large greenhouses and fifteen acres are included in the holdings of this concern. Myer, of Fifty -eighth street and Mad- ison avenue, is building a new front to his store and making many improve- ments. Louis Schmutz, Sr., has passed his three score years and ten, and can still bowl and sing the Marseillaise as well as any of his progeny. The next meeting of the New York Florists' Club will take place Monday evening, September 14. J. Austin Shaw, Ferdinand Fleischman and his wife reached New York August 11 on the steamship Kroonland, after an eventful wedding journey abroad. They lost all their baggage and only obtained steamer passage after two unsuccessful attempts. The Provence, which was the one on which Mr. Fleischman first intended to return, was seized by the French gov- ernment, and the Imperator, on which he next booked passage, was kept in port. In traveling from Paris to Ant- werp, there to board the Kroonland, the Fleischmans lost their baggage in the confusion caused by the military in- spection at the boundary lines.

The Florists' Review 91 A QUIET WORD WITH YOU, IF YOU PLEASE, NENBERS OF THE SEED TRADE OF AMERICA WE have many friends among you, but with increasing business, we have not time to come and see all our friends, and the field is left clear for our good friends, the enemy, to sow a few tares among the wheat. Our house may not yet be so large a concern as some, but it is steadily increasing: its connection, and that because of the celebrity of the seed selections which we have been making: per- sonally at Langport for the last three generations. If you hear otherwise, it will possibly be from competing houses, who, a few years back, when we were growing for them instead of for the general Seed Trade, could find nothing but good to say of us personally, or of our stocks. ' On the matter as to whether your Government should dis- tribute seeds free, we have nothing to say. But it surely redounds to our credit that we are able to obtain a very large share of the orders of your Qovernment, the largest and keenest buying cor- poration in the seed world. Not one of you will lay his hand on his heart and say that he can logically criticise US. On our side we assure you that our prices to you are the same as to the United States Qovernment. Will you do us a favor? We know our stocks are right. You must know that we are in a position to quote right, how- ever much you may object to our being favored with a large Qovernment order. What we ask is: if you hear anything adverse to our house, to its honor, to its reliability, will you ask the person to write his statement and sign it, and will you let us know?— unless he is a competitor, in which case you will, of course, take no notice. We will play fair. Will you give us fair play? ==.

Wliile some of the representatives have contented themselves with advisinj? the trade that their orders have been shipped and that the house cables that it is able to make promi)t shipment on additional orders, others have written the most disturb- ing letters, quoting deep cuts in prices and inviting bids if the quotation is not low enough to be attractive. This refers to bulbs which ordinarily would go to the countries now at war. The disturbing quotations have, of course, gone in many cases to those who have placed orders with other parties at regular rates. The result is that many buyers want to cancel their orders, while not many of those who could use more bulbs at a price care to take hold until conditions become a little more settled. The probabilities are that after tho first shock has passed, the Holland gentlemen will recover their nerve and that the market will assume some de- gree of stability. At first there were to be no Dutch bulbs at all, unless one read The Review; then this country would be flooded, but the chance is good that general business conditions in Europe soon will adjust themseh es, that transportation will oi)en and that this country will not be used as a dumping ground for the whole croi) of European bulbs. FRENCH BULBS. Anxiety in regard to the size of the French bulb imj)orts or as to the proba- bility of a rise in prices on these stocks is now out of the question, for a com- parison of the figures of last season and of the receipts so far this season show that the full season 's supply is in this country. The imports of French bulbs through the port of New York, the port of by far the largest entry, for last sea- son amounted to something over 18,000' cases. The consignments on the steamer Patria, from Marseilles, which arrived at New York August 12, brought the total up to 18,443 cases for this season. The consignment of French bulbs come in three or four large batches of several thousand cases each, followed for a month or so by small, occasional ship- ments. The large batches for this sea- son are already here, and the receipts are already as large as those of the whole SUTTON'S BULBS of the same high quality as SUTTON'S SEEDS We can supply limited quantities of the following bulbs, delivered one month from date of order : Roman Hyacinths Spanlah Irises Narcissi Aconites Snowdrops Daffodils Jonquils Tulips Writa for Spaclai Trada Uat to WINTER, SON & CO., 64 Wall St., NEW YORK Sole Affents in America, east of the Rocky Mountains, for SUTTON & SONS, Reading, England— ''The Royal Seed Establishment" Mention The Review when yon write. -TO THE TRADE- HFIIRY IIFTTF Quedunburg, Germany lILllll I IflL I I Lq (Establlshod In 1784) "■^^^^^^ QROWER and EXPORTER on the very iarseet scale of aH CHOICE VEGETABLE, FLOWER and FARM SEEDS SPECIALTIES t Baane, Beets.

MARGARET ATLEE Is a rosy-salmon pink on a creamy-buff ground; a rich, soft color, and extremely attractive, both as Individual flowers and In the bunch. The standard ts large and wavy and In- clined to double under favorable condi- tions. The wings are equally large, wavy and well set. It runs almost uni- formly four blossoms to the stem; well poised and graceful. In all respects. It is the grandest Sweet Pea we have ever grown, either from foreign Introductions or American varieties. MARGARET ATLEE has finally yielded us sufficient seed to warrant our adopting a unique method of exploiting it. We are confident that America does not half appreciate real SPENCER SWEET PEAS, and we propose to use MARGARET ATLEE as a missionary in the hope that It will Invade every home garden where Sweet Peas can be grown. MARGARET ATLBB was Introduced In 1912, but a short crop that year and the year following prevented our offering It to the trade, and It has not yet appeared in our Contract Lists. Messrs. Lowe & Shawyer, the largest flower growers In Great Britain, simply Insisted on having some of It last season and we let them have a pound out of our planting stock, to be used for growing cut flowers for the Covent Garden Mar- ket. They had a packet of it the year previous and considered It the very finest thing they had ever seen In Sweet Peas. With them it Is a leader as a florist flower. Blver BO many people who have seen bouquets of Margaret Atlee have ex- claimed, "Are those really Sweet Peas?" Under ordinary culture they are deli- cate and refined to a degree. Under special culture for exhibition flowers they produce unusually large thick petals and enormous stems and leaves.

The onion seed acreage is light, due to the scarcity of bulbs. We are greatly in need of dry weather, with bright sunshine; only one dry week since July 1. Good grow- ing conditions, however, have j)revailed and growth is normal for the season. We need more favorable weather for rijiening and harvest. ' ' Not much is produced here that is to be directly affected by Kuropean war conditions, yet while one man's guess is as good as another 's as to the future, it is already apj)arent that the shutting off of the products of the large seed j)roducing sections of the world will have not only an immediate but a far-reaching effect on values." "The seed crops in Connecticut i)roni- ise well," said PVank V. Woodruff, at Orange. "The harvest of kale and early turnip is completed and they yielded all that could be expected. The weath- er was somewhat bad during harvest time, which delayed the deliveries to a certain extent, but most crojjs are now ready for delivery. Beets and on- ions are looking unusually well and, while the acreage is somewhat smaller than it was last year, the crop will be much larger in the aggregate. Sweet corn acreage is much larger than last yeai*, and the crop is in splendid condi- tion, many fields already in an edible state, which is one to two weeks earlier than last season. "The demand for American grown seed was never better than at present, ' ' continued Mr. Woodruff.

Our strains are selected with special care, and the seed is the best it is-possible to produce. THE BURPEE SEED CROPS, both on onr own farms and under contract, are subject to careful, critical inspection during growth, while samples of every lot are tested both for vitality and trueness to type. THE BURPEE STANDARD IN SEEDS is the highest it is possible to attain today, and yet we aim for still further bet- terment. Progress is our watchword I Planters, whether gardening for pleasure or profit, soon learn that the best is the cheapest. The cost of the very best seeds is so small compared with the value of the resulting crop that sensible planters know they cannot afford to risk seeds of doubtful pedigree— and we know just as well that we cannot afford to risk our hard-earned reputation by selling stock of uncertain character. WE ARE SPECIALISTS IN SEEDS Our entire time is devoted to producing and distributing seeds — seeds only, and only seeds of the best quality. We aim to do this one thing well. We shall be pleased to give any advice in our power as to your other horticultural require- ments. The same care is used in testing and improving the excellence of Burpee's Flower Seeds that has made Burpee's Vegetable Seeds famous. FLORISTS AND MARKET GARDENERS should write for our Blue List. This is our Wholesale Price List for those who plant for profit. The business of market growing does not warrant the use of seeds of unknown quality any more than the use of haphazard methods. We will gladly mail both our Annual, which is a descriptive catalogue, and our Blue List, which contains the right prices for florists and market gardeners. Our Blue List contains the full list of desirable florists' seeds. BURPEE'S FLOWER SEEDS FOR FLORISTS At Fordhook Farms in Pennsylvania, Sunny brook Farm in New Jersey, and our Floradale Farm in California, we are growing acres of flower seeds, especially those varieties that do best in the different localities.

Clark, at Milford, August 12, "and is of normal acreage. Although the yield has been somewhat lessened by excessive rain during July, we have a pretty good average crop. We cannot as yet estimate the yield, but think it will be at least normal. "Our onion seed crop is looking well at this time. Our acreage of this is normal, and, while the rain during the last week of July materially interfered with the setting of the seeds, the balance is coming into boll at the present time and bids fair to make a good crop. It is, however, the height of the critical stage with this crop and adverse weather conditions may yet materially affect it. We do not know about this crop until it is harvested, which will be much later than usual this season. From present indications, cutting will not start before August 20 to 25. "Sweet corn is backward, but is making exceedingly rapid progress at this time. If the present forcing hot weather continues, I believe we shall make a normal crop of this standard article. ' ' ADAPTATION OF PLANTS TO SOIL [Contlnned from page 44.] and the seedlings make better growth when the soil is slightly compacted. The total exclusion of air from seeds, how- ever, as shown by experiments with a vacuum, prevents germination. A close textured soil tends to have this same effect, depending upon the nature of the seed as well as upon the amount of air received; therefore, it becomes neces- sary to take into account the depth of the planting of seeds in practical agri- culture. Certain seeds and plants are much more susceptible to air than oth- ers, and artificial aeration of soil is often beneficial. In one experiment, where 1,500 lettuce seeds were sown in two boxes, in one of which the soil was aerated for a few hours each day, there was a gain of twenty per cent in germi- nation and forty -six per cent of growth of seedlings in the aerated soil. Lettuce or white clover seed planted in a close textured soil that has been firmly tamped will fail to germinate at all, while such seeds as plantain will germinate quite freely under the same conditions, showing that the plantain is better adapted to a close textured soil than the other seeds mentioned. In the more intensive agriculture of the future, aeration of the soil may be- L D. Pkiie, Central 6004 Mention Tte Rarlew when yon wrlt>. CHICAGO.

The gravel, coarse, medium and fine sand run from 1.92 to 24.33 per cent. The average percentage of the coarser particles in these rose soils is 9.68, while the average percentage of the finer par- ticles is 79.36 per cent. The average percentage for the silt is 22.36; for fine silts, 16.21 per cent. When these results are compared with those from the typ- ical truck garden soil, it will be no- ticed that there is a great deal of differ- ence between the total percentage of coarse particles and the total percentage of finer particles in this soil. In a typical truck garden soil, the coarser particles total 39.15 per cent, and the finer particles 40.25 per cent. The best rose soils appear to be those possessing 8 to 12 per cent or more of clay and which are well supplied with other grades of finer particles. The per- centage of the fine sand, silt and clay usually exceeds 75 per cent in an ideal rose soil, but just how important are the clay and the two grades of silt and fine sand in making up such a soil cannot at present be determined. There are many native species of plants which show an adaptation to soil texture, and many species which are confined strictly to certain types of soils.

The microorganisms of the soil also play a most important role. In general, the richer the soil, the larger the num- ber of microorganisms found. Tillage stimulates bacterial activity, and the various modifications which these in- numerable small soil organisms bring about in the soil are exceedingly com- plex and understood only in a general way. It is known that they decompose various substances in the soil; that some of them accomplish nitrogen fixa- tion, some denitrification, and others are nitrifying organisms. Besides the presence of a large bacterial flora in soils, the number of bacteria sometimes exceeding millions to the cubic centi- meter, numerous forms of fungi may be found, besides algse and various types of active animal life. In a medium containing such a vast number of differ- ent types of organisms much antagonism and a severe struggle for existence necessarily exist. It is also known that many chemical substances, such as for- malin, carbon bisulphide, etc., affect the organisms in the soil and also act as a general stimulus to plants. Volatile chemical substances have a direct stimu- lative effect on the crops and in some cases probably improve soil conditions by destroying antagonistic species. In the same way soil sterilization produces exceptionally fine crops. Soils, however, differ so greatly in different localities that while some are greatly benefited by steaming, others are affected unfavor- ably by this process. It is known that the process of steaming soils to 212 degrees Fahrenheit greatly modifies their chemical composition, and in some cases produces toxic substances which act injuriously to the crop. Russell and Darbishire found that crops obtain three times as much nitrogen and twice as much phosphoric acid and potash from steamed as from unsteamed soil. Steam- ing has a similar effect to aeration, from the fact that an exchange of gases takes place. Chemical Proces^ses. As previously stated, the chemical processes in soils are extremely complex and what may prove beneficial as a fertilizer in one soil may not in an- other; therefore, many of the fertilizer LILIUM HARRISII FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY We have received our first consignment of Harrisii, and offer a selected stock of the original true Harrisii for early forcing.

It is often possible to grow good crops with fertilizers for a few years, but later it becomes im- possible to grow the same crops success- fully in these soils, indicating that some change of an injurious nature has taken place.

MeatloB Th« IUt1>w when yon wrlt«. MILWAUKEE, WIS. The Market. Business in general is still stagnant and outside of funeral work little is being done by the local trade. A few new carnations are being seen on the market at this time and the quality of the stock is good. The old crop is en- tirely gone and the trade is turning to asters to fill the vacancy. Asters are not so plentiful as they have been for the last week or so. The quality is. as^ good as can be expected, owing to the lack of rain. The weather has been fair for a number of weeks now, with only an occasional shower to lay the dust. The supply of roses is shortening up to some extent, although the cut is still greater than the demand. The only thing that is noticeable is that the large surplus of this stock is beginning to shrink. The demand for Mrs. Charles Bussell and Pink Killarney is heavier than that for any other variety, al- though the other roses are selling well. Gladioli are still selling fairly well. As some of the stock is not up to stand- ard, the prices are low and the average is not what it should be. The supply of American Beauties seems to be increas- ing slightly. The quality is good, but the sales are not at all heavy on 'this stock. Lilies are in good supply and the stock is of fine quality. Valley is also good, but the sales on both of these are extremely light. Some fine rubrum lilies are coming in, but are not moving as well as they should. Various Notes. Miss Edith Webster has resigned her position with J. M. Fox & Son, on ac- count of ill health. Miss Webster has been with this firm for some time and she leaves many friends among the florists, who will miss her.

Even outdoor stock is scarce, because there has been so little rain, and the army worms have been doing their share of damage. Gladioli are the most abundant of any flowers and have come down in price somewhat. Asters are excellent now and they are plentiful. There are a few of the large chrysanthemum asters, which bring fancy prices. Carnations are scarce in- deed and poor in quality. Eoses are un- usually good, considering the warm weather. Killarneys are not desirable, because they open wide in a short time during the hot weather. Various Notes. A number of the trade here are at the convention. Wm. F. Kasting started Friday, August 14; with him was George Asmus, of Chicago. They madfi the trip by automobile, stopping at points of interest in the Berkshires, at Albany and at other New York towns. The following are attending the convention from here: Charles Sandiford, S. A, Anderson, Wm. F. Kasting, Joseph Streit, Eobert Scott, David Scott, Pro- fessor Cowell, Walter Amey, Fred Derch- en, George McClure, William Mansfield and Felix Alberts. L. H. Neubeck is putting in new boil- ers at his greenhouses. James Bates, of Akron, N. Y., was a visitor last week. He reports that he is busy making repairs on his green- houses and getting ready for fall busi- ness. Stroh's Quality Flower Shop had a most interesting collection of salpiglos- sis and scabiosas last week, which were raised at Stroh's farm in Attica, N. Y. Ed. Stroh is summering on the farm and will leave for a trip early in September. Business is only fair at the store, it has been reported. The W. E. Kirchhoff Co., of Pembroke, N. Y., has a new gladiolus seedling, a beautiful yellow, samples of which have been sent to this city. It is a beauti- ful color, has fine shaped flowers and resembles an orchid. It has a drooping tendency, which perhaps might be over- come if it were grown stronger. It would then become of value commer- cially. W. J. Palmer had an attractive yellow- window last week. It was made up of GERANIUMS We have a splendid lot of good 3-inch pot plants ready for imme- diate shipment, in a fine assortment of colors for winter blooming, $3.00 per 100. $25.00 per 1000. As noted in the trade papers a short time ago, there is a growing demand for a greater variety of colors. We have the best assortment in the country. Our standard list of doubles and semi-doubles con- tains 45 distinct and different varieties. Then we have a good list of standard single sorts, besides the newer kinds and novelties. We are booking orders for next season's delivery at $2.00 per 100, $18.60 per 1000, for 2-inch stock of the standard kinds. Everybody who grows Geraniums should have our catalogue. Ask for it.

It consisted of two miniature stores, that of S. A. Anderson, Buffalo, and M. S. McCoy, Seattle, Wash., show- ing telegraphic connection between the two places and the prompt delivery of orders to any place in the world. Bona fide telegrams were displayed to show that they were actually receiving orders every day by wire. The background was made up of Belgian laurel, palms and gladioli. It made a striking win- dow and attracted large crowds. E. C. A. SHELL CEEEK, TESf^. R. C. Grogan & Co., green goods dealers, state that business in general is good with them at present.

ADAPTATION OF PLANTS TO SOIL [Continued from page 102.] are burned off, owing to the presence of an excess of some caustic substance, but more commonly the leaves and stems ar6 affected, the leaves becoming abnormally colored, or they may become more or less contorted owing to the un- equal development of the tissues of the leaves. Occasionally blisters are formed, and often wilting and dying of the edges of the leaf occurs. Mal- nutrition arises from the improper use of fertilizers and manures, and is more commonly met with in greenhouses than elsewhere, cucumbers being among the most susceptible plants to this trouble. The use of nitrate of soda, pig, hen and sheep manure, and occasionally strong cow and horse manure, accounts for most of this trouble. H. D. Haskins, who has made many chemical analyses of greenhouse soils with special reference to malnutrition, has found that in some cases where mal- nutrition was common there was con- siderably more nitrogen and phosphoric acid in the -soils than in the best barn- yard manure. The average analysis of some abnormal soils which produced symptoms of malnutrition to cucumbers showed them to contain as high as PLEASE MENTION THE REVIEW WHEN WRHTNG ANY OF THSSE ADVERTISERS 122 The Florists^ Rcvkw AuoosT 20, 1914.

He found that the soluble nitrogen was 1,156 pounds in the abnormal soils as compared with 444 pounds for the nor- mal, while the potash was 6,743 pounds for the abnormal soils against 1,328 for the normal. _r The soluble phosphoric acid was 632 pounds for the abnormal soils as compared with 208 pounds for the normal, which shows a marked ex- cess in the water soluble salines in the abnormal soils. Mr. Haskins' calcula- =lions show that to furnish this amount of nitrogen would require the appli- cation of fourteen and one-half tons of a formula testing four per cent nitrogen, twenty-three per cent actual potash and ^.25 per cent available phosphoric acid ^er acre. Fertilizers vs. Soil Changing. From these observations on malnutri- tion, which is constantly on the in- crease, we cannot too strongly advise florists to go slowly in their use of fertilizers or special manures on their crops. The practice of changing the soil each year obviates this trouble to a great extent, although such crops as lettuce can be grown in the same soil for years without change when decom- posed horse manure is applied each year. Cucumbers and tomatoes, however, need an occasional change of soil to bring them ta .their highest perfection, vh^e the high' feeding usoally given to"^B»-; nations and rosef^ renders the soil ill adapted to constant use.

Mention The Review when yon write. fresh cow manure, together with the weekly use of liquid cow manure, we found it impossible to employ the ^oil the second year. When a new rose crop was planted, the roots were abnormal from the beginning and died, but when the soil was washed out thoroughly it was found to contain innumerable toxic substances and no further death of the plants occurred. Market gardeners have found, and their"observations have been borne out by experiments, that decomposed horse m^nnrB constitutes the best manure for tneir crops, and when commercial fertilizers are em- ployed, soil trouble may invariably be looked for. When we know more about the complex condition of the soils and the plants* requirements we may be able t^ make rnore ^tensive use of commercial leiiihiets T(nd special ma- nures; but Jft" 'the plesient trtrf* green- house managers must experiafent cau- tiously.

Since the prices of food so quickly took the cue and began to soar at the first announcement, almost at the first vague rumor, of war in Europe, it would scarcely be reasonable to expect that the coal market would long remain un- affected. Yet the prices of coal have been slower than those of other com- modities to respond to the upward im- petus. Among the most obvious rea- sons for this exceptional state of affairs in the coal trade are, first, the large reserve stores of coal which have been piled up, awaiting a market; second, the obstructed condition of ocean trans- portation, which makes it impossible to supply the newly created foreign demand, and, third, an unexpected dull- ness of business at some of the great factories, the proprietors of which were somewhat disconcerted by the sudden outbreak of the war and have not yet gained entire command of the situation, so fta to avail themselves of the special opportunities which the war has pro- vided for the sale of their products. Indeed, so plainly noticeable is this business depression that a prominent coal journal r^orts a "complete stag- nation in the eastern trade." As a consequence, "New England cotton mills," says the same authority, "are not taking anywhere near their cus- tomary tonnage of coal. They have not yet readjusted themselves to the con- Paint Creek Splint is Unsiirpals^a for ■^r Greenhouse^Ptirt>oses ' ^ '-^^ . .

The Florists' Review 125 CONSERVE YOUR COAL PRESERVE YOUR MONEY W E are staunch advocates of the nation wide movement for the conservation of all natural resources, and have designed a boiler for greenhouses that will produce the most heat at minimum amount of coal consumed. ^ The proper placing of the tubes in the Gem City Boilers has been scientifically developed. They are so arranged that the heated gases make two complete passes through the water in the boiler shell, allowing absolute combustion of the gases, and permitting water to absorb the great- est amount of heat before finally passing into the stack. This is a decided contrast to the usual waste- ful method of having gases enter the stack at a high temperature. ^ By actual comparison, our boilers contain more tube area per horse- power than any competitor's. A steel water leg entirely surrounds the fire-box. In our boilers there are no cast iron surfaces in contact with the fire, consequently no liability of a fractured section, a condition which is especially disastrous when occurring in cold weather, causing at least a tem- porary discontinuance of heat in the greenhouses, with the accompanying loss in frozen plants. ^ Our boiler is substantially built in all details, and subjected to a hydraulic test of 150 pounds before leaving our shops. ^ One of the prominent florists of Baltimore, Md., Mr. James Hamilton, has given us his unsolicited state- ment, that after installing one of our 50 horse-power boilers, he heated 40,000 square feet of glass, at a 50% saving in his coal bill, as compared to the type we replaced. ==^===^=^=^=^= REPRESENTED BY =^^==^^=^==^=^z:^= MORTON Mel.

There are a great many inquiries from foreign coun- tries and particularly from South Amer- ica for coal, but these inquiries cannot be turned iiito orders until the shipping situation is relieved, and until definite understanding can be arrived at as to the basis of price and as to the manner of financing sales." "However, all of these obstacles to the movement of coal are believed to be only temporary. It is expected that, when the obstacles are removed, there will necessarily be a large increase in the production of coal or a sharp rise in price, perhaps both. Are there any florists who have reason to worry about such a prospect, or have they all pre- pared for the worst by filling their coal bins? A OBEENHOUSE ON A TERRACE.

Would such a house as I have described be cheap and practi- cal! What would be the necessary pip- ing for steam, in this Illinois climate, and what ventilation would be needed? I would divide the house halfway, so as not to have to heat the whole space xintil it was all planted. Perhaps, with your experience, you can suggest a bet- ter plan than mine. G. H. C. As stated in the letter, and as indi- cated by the sketch, the intention is to have the walls of the house entirely below the level of the ground, with only the roof exposed. This plan is not advisable, especially for a house as much as thirty-six feet in width, as there should be some means of ventilation in the south wall of the house. The height proposed for the walls is not shown, but I would have not less than three feet of glass, and four would be better if the south wall is more than five feet in height. Not only is this necessary to provide for ventila- tion, but unless light as well as air is provided it would not be possible to grow good crops near the wall of the house. Besides, there would be unend- ing trouble from plant lice and other inseett, as well as mildew, rot and other fungous diseases, in the south si^|^$f the house near the wall. The sketgfi~ shows a height of eight feet for the ridge, above the level of the plates, but if the side walls are six feet in height I would make the ridge sixteen feet MARSH STEAM PUMPS Especially designed and eauipped for extreme hot water service.

The Florists' Review i m (til) (til) When it Comes to Heating Come to Hitchihgs YOU who have talked with the superintendent of power in some of the big factories, know that the power returns from every pound of coal are figured right down to almost the last cent. Guesswork is out of the question. The variation in cost or power de- livered, of even a few cents a horse- power, is often the difference be- tween the manufacturer's profit and a loss. The keenest of keen competition has made this watchful watch-dog method a necessity. The margin of profits being more liberal in the greenhouse growers' business, long- er chances are taken, and heating experiments made, which but few other industries could possibly stand. We don't want to be put down as ■•croakers," but it does seem that before long most growers must give more serious thought and attention to their heating costs. Already some of the more careful ones are demanding of our heating engineers things that two years ago would have been passed over without a second thought, no matter how forcibly we presented their import- ance. It looks as though a big change were coming when it comes to cut- ting down heating costs, or equip- ping a plant with a system of high- est efficiency. We can do just these things. Not only can, but are doing it^ Not only are doings it, but have done it. For over 65 years we have been heating greenhouses, which is a quarter of a century longer than anyone else in the field. All of which has a lot to do with your being able to depend on depending on Hitchings. And remember we go anywhere for business. Or to talk business.

There is any amount of stock of all kinds on the market and prices are not up to the average. Koses are especially plentiful and can be bought at almost any price suitable to the buyer. Gladi- oli are still a glut, except in the better grades, for which a fair demand is found. Lilies have been selling well for this season of the year. Asters are still poor and the recent rains con- siderably bruised the greater part of the outside stock; consequently good flowers are not to be had in any quan- tity and the supply has slightly de- creased even in low grades. Some out- door carnations are coming in, but they are small and in little demand. Greens of all kinds are plentiful and the prices are low. While the wholesale houses are doing a fair business, considering the amount of stock coming in, the entire volume of trade is so widely scattered among the retail stores that no individual can lay claim to any large amount of trade; hence the cry of "No business" is heard on all sides.

The drought continues and the soft- wooded stock is not producing the cuttings anticipated. The aster crop is poor. Local growers say it is much below the average. Gladioli are suffer- ing from the drought; they need a good soaking to improve the length and qual- ity of the stock. Outdoor sweet peas are again a failure. The first consignment of early Romans has arrived; the bulbs are small. The quality of the Paper Whites also is not up to standard. These are the first bulbs to arrive since the out- break of the war. Various Notes. Trillow, the Florist, has everything benched except carnations. He has been hunting for good stock, but found nothing doing. C. N. Page, of the Iowa Seed Co., is home from Rochester, Minn., where he underwent an operation recently; he says he feels quite weak and will have to take great care of himself. Harry Berreckman is again around the ship- ping department. He says his paralysis is almost gone, and he begins to handle the horseshoes like an expert at the noon hour. Hans Peter Jurguenson, of the shrub and plant department, at- tended a Danish picnic up the river and got a heavy sunburn from swimming and rowing; it caused him so much pain about the legs and arms that the doctor ordered him to take a few days' rest. . W. D. DETEOIT. The members of the trade in Detroit will read with regret the report of the death of Mrs. E. A. Fetters, which ap- pears in this week's obituary column. Wm. Dilger has just completed three tennis courts for the Timkin-Detroit Axle Co. These courts are constructed according to some original ideas of Mr. Dilger and are considered as fast as any in the country. Albert Pochelon left Monday eve- ning, August 17, for the convention. Michael Bloy is also in attendance. H. S. Louisville, Ky.— F. Walker & Co., lo- cated for a quarter of a century on Fourth avenue, are now in their new store, at 312 West Chestnut street. The building was especially designed for the use of this firm and is exceedingly at- tractive and commodious. Adjoining is a conservatory for the display of bloom- ing and foliage plants.

Some of the local florists found last week to be an extra busy one for this time of the year, while others had just ordinary business. Funeral work is still the main outlet for flowers, with an oc- casional call for a loose bouquet. Car- nations are still on the market, but are small and of poor quality. Asters are now in their prime. Vacation time is here and many florists and their assistants are away. Several had de- ferred their vacations until this week, so as to attend the convention in Bos- ton. There is not much building in this section, although a large amount of remodeling is being done. Various Notes. E. D. Tucker, of Central Falls, was exceedingly busy last week with fu- neral work. Shedden & Co. report a busy week. Frederick Hofifman is sending some specimen Lilium auratum to the Provi- dence market. W. D. Eoss, president of the Wor- cester Agricultural Society; President C. W. Breed, of the Worcester County Horticultural Society, and Secretary L. C. Midgley were visitors at Newport last week. The store of M. J. Leach & Sons is being thoroughly renovated. One of the new features will be a double win- dow; that is, a plate glass window on each side of the door. J. J. Kelley, of Valley Falls, was busy last week with funeral work. Howard W. Vose, of the Flower Shop, Attleboro, Mass., reports an extra busy week. T. F. B. AUSTIN, TEX. The Market. Splendid rains fell in this section the first week in the month, about four inches in all. The eflFect on outside stock has been good, and crinums, gladioli, sweet peas and roses are far better than is usual in our dry summer weather. Various Notes. The stock of the Hyde Park Floral Co. is now all owned by the immediate family of ijdgar Hall, who have ac- quired all the other holdings. The greenhouses are being dried out in prep- aration for fall planting. H. B. B. GREENHOUSE GLASS Write ns for prices before placing your order— we can saye yon money.

Both wholesale and retail business is quiet just now and on some days it seems to be at a standstill. The few good showers which have fallen during the last week have brightened up things considerably, and the aster crop is looking a hundred per cent better. In many cases, owing to the drought, the asters are small and short-stemmed, but a few growers who are fortunate enough to have any kind of sprinkling system have good stock. Gladioli have benefited also by the rains and they are arriving in fairly large quantities, but do not clear fast. Sweet peas are not overplentiful, but they are of good quality. A few Japanese and auratum lilies are seen and are used chiefly for funeral work. Easter lilies are plenti- ful. There is a good supply of roses on hand and good shipments arrive each dav. There is no special demand for American Beauties at this time. There are few carnations and the quality is poor. There do not seem to be any large cuttings of asters. The supply of greens meets all requirements. Various Notes. Bv way of change, H. E. Wilson had an unusually heavy run of funeral work last week. Although business in gen- eral has been quiet, this store has been quite busy of late. Some fine gladioli are being grown. Miss Lillian Wheeler, of J. B. Keller Sons, is away on a two weeks' vaca- tion, visiting friends at Mt. Vernon, L. T., and New York city. Joseph Werdein has just returned from a week's vacation. The Lord & Burnham Co. has been doing good business recently. Among the best sales are: Mr. Benedun, Pitts- burgh, Pa., material and erection of iron frame house with curvilinear roof; A. H.

The supply continued large, but the demand is hardly up to normal for this time of year. As a result, prices are low. The supply of gladioli con- tinues large and steady and the greater part of the stock is of the same high quality as at the last writing. The glut of early asters is about over and large, choice late ones are coming in. The better grades bring good prices The Easter lily cut is sufficient for re- quirements and contains some fine of- ferings. The rose market presents about the same front as at last report. There is plenty of stock of all varieties, but the sales are rather slow and the prices strictly buyers' prices. The ma- jority of them are job-lot prices. Good auratum and rubrum lilies are offered in various quantities. Hardy hydran- geas find a limited market. The supply of greens is adequate for present re- quirements. Various Notes. C. E. Critchell has been receiving some fine blooms as the first of a new cut of giganteum lilies from the Hoff- meister Floral Co.

Asters, roses, sweet peas and gladioli are of good quality and abundant. Much concern has been manifested during the last week or ten days on the part of the growers of bulb stock as to whether they are going to be able to secure their usual stock of bulbs. Assurances have been received from American agents, within a few days, that the bulbs will be forthcoming on time. Various Notes. William Cohen, with Smith, , the Florist, is taking a two weeks' vaca- tion, which he is spending at Newport and Block Island. The interior of the store of Johnston Bros, is being renovated and repainted, white and blue being the predominant colors. Edward O'Brien has gone to Utica, N. Y., where he will remain for a three weeks' vacation. Mr. Pierce, representing Lord & Burnham Co., arrived Saturday morn- ing, August 15, to superintend the erec- tion of the new house for Joseph Kop- pelman, at East Providence. Wilham Wilkinson, of Fall Eiver, was a business visitor here last week and reported he was about to build a small greenhouse, 20x50 feet. Max Fishelton, of M. Fishelton & Son, Boston, is spending a few weeks' vacation with relatives on Narragan- sett bay. Miss Kreickstein, bookkeeper for Jo- seph Koppelman, is spending a fort- night's vacation in eastern Pennsyl- vania. F. Macrae's Sons are devoting more time and glass to lilies, to the exclu- sion of mums, which have previously been featured. They will continue to raise the usual quantities of carna- tions. Morris Miller has reopened his store at 637 Westminster street after sev- eral weeks' vacation. The new greenhouses recently fin- ished by O. H. Williams & Sons, at Pocasset, are being planted to chrysan- themums. The postofTice department has noti- fied Postmaster Walter A. Kilton that trees, plants, shrubs, etc., cannot be shipped outside of the area quarantined against the gypsy and brown-tail moths. There is a provision in the quarantine, however, that permits the shipping of certain trees or shrubs out- side the quarantined area, providing they have been passed by the local representative of the Department of Agriculture and are certified to be clear from the pests.

Last year, aloDg came an order for another 30x500 and a propagating: house 15x210. Are the Dahl people satisfied? Repeat orders like this are the most conclusive answer. The southern grower must meet conditions entirely dif- ferent from the northern man. To handle such conditions satisfactorily requires a definite and extensive familiarity with the south. For a long time we have been sending our rep- resentatives on frequent trips south— monUis at a time they are gone, each year. No other greenhouse concern does it. Logically no other is equipped to handle the southern florists* needs as successfully. Ask the Dahl Co. if this is not so.

One of the most pleasant outings in the history of the Lancaster County Florists' Club occurred Thursday, Aug- ust 13, when President B. F. Barr and wife entertained the club members and a few invited guests at Avondale farm, their beautiful home on the Marietta pike. At 2:15 the party left Lancaster and upon arriving at Avondale in- spected the farm of 100 acres. Everything was found in tiptop order. The immense plantings of ever- greens, fanc;y^ shrubbery, shade trees, orchards and formal garden were of much interest to all. In addition are many acres of tobacco, corn and po- tatoes. The members indulged in sports on the beautiful lawn. In bowling on the green E. P. Hostetter, Jacob Flear, Mr. Schaefer, of York, and A. M. Herr defeated by a narrow margin L. S. Landis, Ira Landis, H. K. Eohrer and A. K. Eohrer. Pitching quoits, croquet and card playing were also in order. At 6:30 an excellent luncheon was served on the lawn. After cigars had been passed the monthly meeting of the club was called to order by Presi- dent Barr. H. K. Rohrer spoke about his recent trip to the British Isles and France, particularly of the parks and flowers seen there, and his visit to Wm. Wells, Merstham, Surrey, England. The club .decided to send a beautiful prize to be awarded in the bowling contest at the Boston convention. Also a substantial amount will be sent to Chairman W. F. Gude toward the Smith memorial fund. At the next meeting, in September, C. F. Edgar will speak on "The Florists' Business from a Eetail Point of View." Our special representative at the S. A. F. convention, Albert M. Herr, will give his report. One of the most enjoyable events of the evening was the delightful piano music by Mrs. Nellie Eichler. The illuminations about the veranda and lawn were most beautiful. On the motion of Charles M. Weaver, a vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. and Mrs. Barr for their kind hospitality. H. K. R.

AIGLST 2T, 1014. The Florists' Review THE CONVENTION AFTERMATH THE ENDING OF AN ENJOYABLE MEETING THE CONVENTION OUTING. Till' weather man is no friend of the Boston florists. He did his worst to gpoii the grand finale of the 1914 con- vention. The day of the outing dawned damp and showery. It was at first fean'il that the excursion would have to be called off, but as sailing time ap- proached the clouds lifted and the boat left rin hour after the advertised time with 1,080 persons on board, according to the purser's count of tickets. The Boston committee had planned, with special consideration for the vis- itors from the interior, to spend the greater part of the day on the waters of the harbor and only the inclemency of the weather interfered with their ar- rangements to make the outing historic in the annals of the S. A. F. To do the hospitalities the Boston florists, their families and friends turned out in large numl)ers. Considerably more than half the people on the boat were local, pres- ent to see that their guests spout an enjoyable day. The steamer Mary Standish, with a licensed capacity of 1,800, had been chartered. The trip down the harbor, always interesting to one not habitu- ated, held additional novelty because of the presence of many a war-bound boat flying a European flag. The first stop was at old Fort War- ren. This is an island, entirely covered by fortifications, at which boats ordi- narily are not permitted to land. The soldiers have a fine diamond on the parade ground inside the fort, the use of which had been secured through the issuance of a special permit by the Sec- retary of War. It was the first time most of the visitors ever had seen a United States harbor defense fort, much less the inside of one, and an hour was spent most enjoyably in parading the parapet and inspecting the quarters of the garrison and the big disappearing guns that have the power to throw a projectile twelve inches in diameter for a distance of ten miles. The baseball game. All America against the Convention City, was un- usually well contested, Old Charlie Gra- ham scoring another victory in the last half of the fifth inning by a score of 12 to 11. The Clevelander has been pitching the visitors to victory these many years, but his arm is not so good as it was in his younger days and suc- cess is less certain. His team this year was a veritable All American aggrega- tion, his catcher being Beuerlein, of Elmhurst, L. I., and his right fielder Ferrari, of San Francisco. The Boston battery was Marshall and Filson, both good, but Marshall was driven from the slab in the third inning and Celari, a left hander, was called in from center field to stem the tide. The grounds were soaked, making every plsiy a chance. After the liall game the races were started, only to be interrupted by the heaviest shower of the day and everj-- one ran for the boat, where 3,000 sand- wiches and quantities of coffee and gin- ger ale were, made quickly to disappear. The downpour held off just long enough to enable C. E, Critchell, of Cincinnati, to settle old scores with Robert Shoch, of Philadelphia, by heating him in the fat men's race. Last year at Minne- apolis the honors were the other way around. The prize this year was a ten- dollar gold piece, which Mr. Critchell promptly donated to the W. R. Smith Memorial fund. The prizes this year were all of exceptional quality and value and it is to be regretted that the events could not have been run off in such ideal surroundings under the cheer- ing influence of pleasant skies. When the shower drove the crowd to the boat an immediate start was made for a sail down the bay as far as Boston light. Then a course was set for Nantucket, where a shore din- ner was served at the new Rockland House, the best hotel on the beach. A shower that came up just as the boat land.ed at Nantucket drove everyone in haste to cover and settled down into a steady rain that put an end to outdoor amusements. At the dinner President and Mrs. Wirth w^ere presented with the chest of silver that annually falls to the lot of the presiding officer and his better half. The local chairman on entertainment was E. Allan Peirce and the local chair- man on sports was W. R. Nicholson. Each had many willing assistants and the affair certainly would have set a new mark for convention entertain- ments had it not been for the rain — the first time it has rained on Friday of convention week in more than ten years, ^\lthough there has been an occasional shower. The results of the athletic contests were as follows: KiiscliiiU ganip — All Stars. 0: Bostuii, s. Hoys' race — I'liil. Uolunil, first; Victor Iluer- liil. sccoiKl; T.

In connection with his report as Washington representative of the S. A. F., delivered at the Boston convention last week, Wm. F. Gude presented data supplied by P. L. Bicker, assistant bot- anist of the bureau of plant industry at Washington, in regard to the large collection of catalogues kept by his bu- reau for reference by the trade. Mr. Bicker wrote: "The office of economic and system- atic botany, of the bureau of plant in- dustry, maintains a large collection of nursery, seed and flower catalogues, which are used mainly in supplying cor- respondents with information as to where they can obtain certain varieties of plants. The correspondents making such requests are supplied with the names of two or three of the firms nearest to their locality. In order to make the information in these cata- logues more readily available, all names are indexed on cards 4x6 inches, with the names of all firms carrying the variety in stock stamped on the back of the cards. There are at present over 26,000 varieties included in the index of which the larger part are iii the American nursery trade. "The office of horticultural and dq. mological investigations, li^hich is malt, ing a study of the varieties of Ameri- can roses, is constantly using this iide.x in its work, and the federal horricuj. tural board utilizes it extensively as a basis for granting or refusing permits for importing stock from countries which have not approved inspctiou laws. "In order to be able to supply sinii- lar information to the trade, the index- ing of foreign catalogues has been be- gun. Catalogues for the current 5 year period are kept in the same room as the index. Those back of the 5 year period are deposited in the main lihrarv of the Department of Agriculture. "The collection probably numbers over 50,000 catalogues, a considerable number of them having been issued be- tween 182.5 and 1850. These old cata logues are of great value in tracing the history of the origin of cultivated va rieties. "These catalogues constitute a per- manent file, kept in a fireproof build ing, and are available for examination at anv time." Joseph Ileacock left Boston for Buf- falo, whence he took a steamer for a lake trip to Duluth, by way of a vaca tion. There arc 128 men who claim each to have cast that one deciding vote that sent the 1915 convention to San Fran cisco. Knoxville, Tenn., was the best rejuo- sented city in the United States at the Boston convention. With four present it was claimed that there was only one stay-at-home, an attendance of eighty jier cent. Xot even Boston itself did so well. The ladies never had a finer enter- tainment than the automobile ride up the north shore to Manchester, witli luncheon there, and, had it not rained, the Friday outing would have eclipsed anything other cities have been able to show their visitors. Boston was not a good business con- vention according to most of the ex- hibitors, but at least two salesmen are known to have taken single orders amounting to an even $1,000 each, and one of them reports two others fttr •tSOO and $900, respectively. The chances are good that the trade exhibit that will pay best in the long run was the unique display of Penn, tho first exclusive retail cut flower exhibit ever made at a convention. There was not a penny of direct return, but. a lot of florists were impressed with the idea that Penn caters for telegraph orders for Boston deliverv. Boston's mayor made a hit with the florists, but Massachusett's governor had them standing on their feet to cheer. They both are strong for flow ers and we are strong for both of tbeni. "San Francisco is entitled to the convention, so let's help get it," was the remark of many a man who is as likely to go to San Francisco as to any other convention held west of tin' Hudson. ' * You present can send the society to California," said W. A. Manda, "it"' who will bring it back? Once there the western voters will keep it on the coas't as long as they like. ' ' No worry. The average city is as glad to see the con vention go as it was anxious to haNO it come. There was considerable compiai"' that persons not exhibitors were solicit ing and taking orders in violation c' the rules. The salesman for one ilol land bulb house was distributing a '^•'' cular quoting bulbs at prices so low as to make it a crime as well as a contra vention of the rules, so the su|n"''"' tendent shut down the lid. Under the new plan of affiliation, the ])residents of the F. T. D., the Hail A^ sociation and probably one or two othci trade organizations will become dirct^ tors of the .S. A. F.

Many young men, launching into busi- ness for themselves, are too intent on capturing the dollar, or getting rich iu get-rich-quick style. In consequence they sometimes fail. The first intent of the man opening a store, or starting any other business, must be to give the public genuine service. His mind must be concentrated upon that, and the de- tails of giving such service must be worked out and put into operation. Then the rolling dollars automatically roll his way. Failure to give first concern to the customer is going at the matter back- wards. To give all thought to the dol- lars coming is to apply the brakes be- fore we get a good start. The cus- tomer's welfare is the merchant's prin- cipal concern today. OCEAN LINES RESUME SAILINGS. Although not many passengers of the class which has made this business prof- itable to florists will be booked in the near future, steamer sailings have been resumed on regular schedules by most of the large companies, except, of course, the German lines, which have definitely suspended operations. Changes may be made at any time to -meet con- ditions on the other side of the sea, but definite plans have been announced for present sailings. The Cunard line resumed service from New York to Liverpool August 15 with the Saxonia. Weekly sailings on Wednesday are the rule, and the following sailings have been given out: August 19, Laconia; August 26, Cam- pania; September 9, Mauretania; Sep- tember 12, Saxonia; September 16, Cam- pania; September 23, Lusitania; Sep- tember 30, Mauretania; October 7, Cam- pania; October 14, Lusitania. The Cun- ard service to Queenstown and Liver- pool from Boston will be partially re- stored next month, these sailings oeing announced: September 5, Franconia; September 15, Laconia; September 29, Franconia. The London line from Mon- treal and Quebec starts again August 29 with the sailing of the Andania, fol- lowed September 5 by the Ascania and September 10 by the Alaunia. The Anchor line, New York to Glas- gow, has scheduled the following: Au- gust 29, Cameronia; September 5, Co- lum.bia; September 12, Ansonia; Sep- tember 19, Caledonia. The White Star line will maintain service from New York to Liverpool on Thursdays with the Olympic, the Celtic, the Baltic, the Adriatic and the Cedric. The Cretic will probably take the Cym- ric's place in the Tuesday sailings from Boston. The French line anticipates no in- terruption in carrying out its schedule, but has revised the sailings announced for the immediate future. The sched- ule from New York now stands: Au- fust 29, Chicago; September 5, Espagne; eptember 12, Eochambeau; September 16, France. After that a steamer a week, as usual, is promised. The Holland-America line foresees no change in its sailings to Rotterdam, as announced early in the spring, except that the stops at Plymouth and Bou- logne-Sur-Mer are omitted. The sailings from New York scheduled are: Sep- tember 1, Noordam; September 8, Ryn- dam; September 15, Rotterdam. Although the above sailings have been definitely announced, changea may be made at any time, as developments on the other side of the water are learned. Half a pound will suffice. Pour some molasses over tljis mixture and then add water until it makes the whole into a paste. Leaves of cabbage or lettuce poisoned with Paris green are also eaten T^ith avidity. Scatter fresh soft coal ilbot frtely. among your plants. It is offensive to cutworms and is, at the same time, an excellent fertilizer. Fresh rhubarb leaves or pine shingles, laid here and there on the beds each evening and ox- amined in the morning, will be used as hiding places by many. Pick up and destroy these daily. Keep this war- fare up and you should soon heavily reduce the numbers of your foes. Hy- drocyanic acid gas has been tried for cutworms in carnations, but did not prove effective. Sterilization of your soil another year would be the .best plan to clean out these and all other soil pests. C. W. HYDBANOEA OTAKSA. Kindly advise us when dormant plants of Hydrangea Otaksa, imported from Holland, should be forced to bring them in for Christmas, and when for Easter. F. & L. TO DESTBOY CUTWOBMS. Can you give us the life history of cutworms and any good remedy for them besides hand-picking? We have a hard dose of these cutworms, finding them by the hundreds and almost by the thousands, both in the greenhouses and outdoors. They are doing great damage to the tomatoes and chrysan- themums, and hand-picking is an end- less job. T. H. W. Hydrangea Otaksa cannot be suc- cessfully forced for Christmas. For Easter start the plants twelve weeks in advance of that date, giving 50 de- grees at night at first, later 60 degrees, and running cooler as the flower heads develop. C. W. While hand-picking — which has to be done at night to be of any value, as these pests are night marauders — is a partial remedy, it is a slow and tedious one. The best way to destroy large numbers is to make a poisoned mash and scatter it each evening about their haunts. To a bushel of fresh shorts, add sufficient Paris green to color it. SPBAY FOB BEETLES. We send you herewith a specimen of a beetle and a leaf showing its work. As it is doing considerable damage, we would thank you for information con cerning a remedy for it. S. &. Y. C. This particular beetle I am unac- quainted with.

Use a fine, misty spray nozzle, and direct the spray be- low rather than above the foliage. So that the operation will be thoroughly ■effective, choose a sunny day, when the foliage is dry.

DISEASED DBACSNAS. I am sending under separate cover a few diseased ,plants and some spotted leaves o£ Dracocua tcrminalis. These '*s. Probably the trouble is due to the syringing, as the edges of the side hoards reach about an inch and a liali ^r two inches above the soil, making it KlifTieult to get underneath the lowest foliage.

Lii-liu aiu'e2>s requires mtrely suffi- cient shade to ]>rovent its foliage from becoming burned. The plants should be hung as close to the glass as possible and sprayed each afternoon. Where but a few are grown, dip])ing the pans or baskets in a tul) of water goes ahead of pouring water on them from the hose. Plants whidi were repanned last spring will not flower freely, like more established stock. Masdevallias. The curious and withal interesting and pretty orchids, the masdevallias, need at this season the cooler end of the cooJest house, whatever that may 1)6. Protect them from the sun 's rays. Keep them a little dry at the roots dur- ing the hot weather. Keep the ven- tilators wide oi)en all night where they are growing.. Cypripediums. Many of the cypripediums love a moist, hot greenhouse. Others, such as the old, reliable C'. insigne and its varieties, do better in a cooler house. In fact, I have never seen finer plants anywhere than some that were grown outside under the shade of trees. They never heeded wind or weather and always flowered splendidly. AH cypri- I)ediums love a spraying once a day. but it is better that they should be dry before nightfall. The flower spikes on some of the winter bloomers will be showing in a few weeks, especially on insigne and its many varieties. A striking cyi)rij)edium now flowering is ('. caudatuni. an old sort but interest- ing. Tlie sei)als anaii or basket of forn fiber and chopj)ed sphagnum moss. FORCING AZALEAS. When shoulil Azalea Indica imported from Belgium be forced to have them in time for Christmas, and also for Kaster.' F. & L. Some varieties of Azalea Tndica can be flowered for Christmas. Among them are Mme. Petrick, Charles Kncke. Deutsche Perle, Apollo, Simon Mard- ner anil Verva'noann. Start as soon as received in a brisk, moist heat and keep the plants freely syringed. For Easter, start eight weeks in advance of that date. Give plenty of heat at first, later a lower temperature. Good late sorts are Vander Cruyssen, Niobe, Empress of India and Schryveriana. Owing to the European war it is doubt- ful if many azaleas will arrive this season from Belgium. ('. W. SHASTA DAISIES FOB MABKET. I should like to know how to grow Shasta daisies profitably. I intend to grow a good patch next season out- doors. Can they be raised from seed and when should the seed be sown here, in eastern Missouri? When would bo the best time to start them from cuttings? P. J. G. The various forms of Chrysanthemum maximum, or Shasta daisy, are easily raised from seed. If sown at once, you Avill have nice plants before col,} weather. Of course, had you sown a month ago, it would have been better but it is not too late yet. The Shasta d&1n||^ are also easily propa,gate(l by divia^ of the roots. Ahwi^a and King Edward VII are extra flneWarieti* ,s of the Shasta daisy. C. W. BUDDLEIAS. At this season, when really ^ood flowers are not overabundant, buddieias l)rove of great value as cut flowers. Comparatively few country florists realize how useful they are, or even know them, and for their benefit let me say that they are Chinese sluubs which propagate almost as easily as coleus, are of rapid growth and bloom most profusely in July, August and September. The handsome reddish- violet racemes are nine to eigliteen inches long and are splendid for cutting, or in funeral work. A wreath of Buddleia variabilis rising from a loose bed of Lilium specioaum album would charm anyone. B. variabilis is the best variety for florists. The finest forms of this are Veitchiana and superba. The ]dants will grow six feet high the first season in good soil, and withstand a temperature of 20 ac ac ac <^ ^ SEASONABLE ^ i I s^ SUGGESTIONS \ ac ac Poinsettias. The latest batch of poinsettia cut- tings should have been potted up before now. As soon as they become estab- lished in their pots they will be found useful for making up into small pans, <)-inch being a serviceable size. Plants which are to be grown singly in 5-inch or 6-inch pots should now be in their flowering pots. None of the poinsettias should be given much heat; a cool, airy greenhouse or even a coldframe is what they need until the nights become colder. The time when they really need a good heat is after the bracts show. T'ntil that time arrives they do well in a comparatively cool house. French Bulbs. Just as soon as the Paper Whites and Roman hyacinths arrive, a good l)atch should be placed in flats. The Paper Whites will not need any cover- ing with loam or coal ashes, as they start readily without it, but the hya- cinths shouhl be buried for some time. .V place in the open air is just as good as any other at this season. Any rains which fall will not harm them in the least. A number of growers have tried the French Golden Spur and other nar- cissi on a small scale of late years, and nianagO/ to flower some for Christ- mas. All the bulbs may not bloom, but as the price at or before Christmas is inviting, they pay fairly well. The Guernsey bulbs are likely to cut more of a figure in future years. These flower much more freely than the French bulbs, which they immediately follow. A good many of these are now imported by way of Rotterdam. The great European war will nidiv or less delay bulb arrivals, but 1 do not look for any shortage of these; i'l fact, the prices now quoted are apjire ciably lower than in the spring. The countries at war will, no doubt, camel many orders, and America, as one of the few neutral countries, will probally be flooded with surplus bulbs, to 1"' sold on commission. The markets aie likely to be well supplied with bulb'Hi"^ flowers in the coming winter ."'I spring. Cinerarias. Now that the nights are grow in;! cooler, cinerarias are making nuifl' more rapid growth, .\nswering recti't inquiries regarding the time to >*'>^* these plants, I would say that whilt' the seed will uow germinate freely, tli'' plants will be somewhat late. Cii><'; rarias, to Vjlooni in the early part "* the new year, should now be in .'')-iii'''' jiots. They make rapid headway fr'i" AUGUST 27. 1914. The Eorists' Review 15 HI I 111' -♦ ■if. 1^^.* 'mm.

A coldframe is the ideal place for them for some time yet. Freesias. The earliest batch of freesias will now have made considerable jjrowth. Keep them in a coldframe for some time yet and protect them from rains. A second batch was placed in pans August 15 and a third lot will be started September 1. The last plantiuj,' will be made about September 2re- jiared beds as soon as of sufficient size. Be sure that any location selected is dry in winter, as fewf i)lants will suc- cessfully winter if the\^ have wet feet. Violets. Double violets can be housed at any time now. The heavy night dews aj^^ter the end of August, followed by hot days, will be found to induce the spot disease which has caused so many to discontinue their culture. Keep all runners carefully removed. Thev weaken the crowns if allowed to grow ad libitum. Single violets must not be housed for some considerable time yet. They are now making grand grow-th and runners are being produced in great abundance. Keep these removed ; it will mean a big saving in labor when the final housing time arrives. Lest anyone should be tempted to house his single violets tliis early, let me say that so doing is sure to result in failure. Singles are quite different from doubles, which latter can be and are grown under glass all the tijue in many cases. I'nless the stronger singles have their exuberant leaf growth checked by one or two moderate freezings, it will be found that no nmtter how freely the house is venti- lated they will continue to ]troduce an immense crop of leaves at the expense of flowers. Therefore do not house any singles before the early jtart of Octo- ber, unless frost comes to your assist- ance. South of New York city, No- vember will be found on the whole a safer month to house the ]dants. Many growers now find they can be left out until after mums are pulled out, Ity giving the ]>lants a light mulch to i)ro- tect them from severe frost. How much frost singles will stand without injury is an important ques- tion. All dei)ends on how warm the season has been j)rior to the first freez- ing. Tsually 26 to 2S degrees above zero is a sufficient freezing. I have found that at 22 degrees the plants were much injured; at least, their flowering (jualities later in the season proved the temperature had been too low for them. )6 The Floriiste* feview AUGUBT 27, 1014. ASTEBS AND MUMS BLIGHTED. We planted some early asters, Queen of the Market, and they seemed to grow satisfactorily until about the time they began to' bud. Then some of them turned brown and died, and, as the buds come out, they are small and brown around the edges and look spoiled when they open. Some other plants in the same bed are all right. The bed is six inches deep and they have been fed with manure water. Also, among our chrysanthemums we have some Golden Glow that were planted quite early. Some of them have started to bloom and they act in about the same way as the asters. The buds turn brown before they, are en- tirely open and any that do open are brown on the edges. The plants look fine and healthy. We should like to know what the trouble is, as we have Ijater chrysanthemums in the same bed, Strong, healthy looking plants now. I E. C. F. ■ I think the main cause of your trou- ble is probably overfeeding before the plants really need any" additional foodj at all. Asters planted in six inches of good soil should need practically no feeding. If any is given at all, it should be after the buds have formed, and in small quantities. Cut out feed- ing your asters; also give the glass a light shading. Chrysanthemum Golden Glow is an erratic bloomer. It produces flowers almost any mouth in the year. As these are of no value while good asters are in season, it is just as well to cut out any shoots which already throw flowers. Of course heavy feeding in hot weather would liave the same ef feet on them as on the asters. Do not feed any of your chrysanthemums until the buds are formed, or the same trou- ble may appear on them. Also, watcli the chrysanthemum cultural department of The Review, which will give you much valuable information from time to time. C. W. INFESTED WITH THRIPS. I am sending you under separate cover a package containing some leaves of chrysanthemums and Golden Glow which are infested with an insect which has ruined our Golden Glow outdoors and has now got into the greenhouse and onto our chrysanthemums. We have tried the nicotine sprays, but they do not seem to have any effect on the bugs. Please tell us what the pest is and what we can do to get rid of it. Some of the glass is oflf our mum house, so we cannot fumigate at present. T. B. T. B. is evidently troubled with a species of the numerous family of thrips. The only way to get rid of this pest is to get a hose connection with a fine spray, and spray the plants thor- oughly at every possible opportunity on the under side of the foliage, making it so unpleasant for the thrips that they will finallv leave. This treatment must be al>plied persistently and consistently. Used in conjunction with applications of nicotine, it is. the only method that will rid the plants of these insects, since, as T. B. says, the glass is oflF th6 house and he cannot fumigate at present. Vig- orous spraying will keep chrysanthe- mums clean when fumigation ,is not possible. Chas. H.

Each year it has made a quantity of foliage and new growth, but has shown no signs of a blOora. L. H. \K In the large-flowered section thire is nothing better for pot culture than the type known as the Caprice family. These are perhaps better adapted for pot culture than any other varieties we have, and the sales this year, ac- cording to dealers' reports, have been tremendous. These ''Cap" mums are sports from the original variety Ca- price du Printemps, a French variety which was imported some years ago, but which never received the recogni- tion it merited. Chrysanthemums of J;hi8 type are grown as pot plants, for the London marTcets, literally speak- ing, by the million. If properly grown they need no staking, as they have a dwarf, sturdy habit of growth, with short footstalks. These varieties can There is believed to be a non-blouin- ing type of w&taria in commerce. I have seen healthy plants, set out for fifteen years, which have never flow- ered. Som^tin^es, on the other hand, plants blooiM. after several years of flowerlessness. Are you pruning back your plant at all? Do not allow it to ramble ad libitum. Prune back the lateral growths tolerably hard each fall. This will have a tendency to make the plant throw flower buds. If it is grow- ing rank, a little root pruning to re- strict the vigor would be of benefit. . '-.. r. C.W. ■ Jamestown, N. Y. — -G. H.

Kindly give me some instructions in regard to taking cuttings of geraniums at this time of year. We are a little short of old stock, but what we have is fine and we should like to take cut- tings now and in the early winter. Is it best to place the cuttings in sand? Would it be best to place them out- doors in a shaded position? A. O. N. tings do not need any shade at all Give them a soaking watering; then expose them to full sun. They root well outdoors, but need protection from heavy downpours of rain. Better prop- agate under glass if you have proper facilities. C. W. The time to start propagating ger- aniums is just at hand. The bulk of them would damp off during such weather as is usually experienced in August. It is well to wait until the ear- ly part of September, especially if your cuttings are from plants growing out- doors, as these are always more succu- lent and liable to rot than such as have been grown under glass. Put the cut- tings in clean, sharp sand. Trim off the leaves quite closely and cut below a leaf joint in making the cuttings. If the cuttings are soft, let them lie on the bench a few hours to dry some- what before putting them in. The cut- PROPAOATINO GERANIUMS.

Work on what is undoubtedly the largest single order for greenhouse con- struction ever given in this country is under way at the establishment of W. H. GuUett & Sons, at Lincoln, 111. The complete range will comprise twenty- four houses, each 60x500 feet; four propagating houses, 30x460 feet, and tour propagating houses, 10%xl75 feet. The contract for the entire plant, in- cluiling the concrete work, is in the hands of the John C. Moninger Co., Chi- cago. The total cost is approximately $456,000, and 750 carloads of material will be required. As may be seen from the accompany- ing illustration, the range will be laid out in four blocks of six houses each. These houses will be of Moninger all- steel construction, and no castings arc to ln> used in them. These structures ^ill l>e connected at the middle of the hous' s by means of iron-frame cross houses. Crossways, between the blocks, ^ill *'e the propagating houses, 30x460 feet, of iron-frame construction. From the middle of the blocks of large houses run ^tmi-iron passage houses, 10%xl75, to h,^ used for propagating, to the boil- er I'^Mise, which will be located in the '■f'nt. r of the range. Tl'( re will be a separate boiler room ' ach block. The first block of for hou^. s boil will be erected with its own room and service house complete. J -Will ailU OCX V Xl^C t^KJlMO^ K^VkiX^»-<^^i^- l^ts , ;iimney and battery of boilers will ^e s unit, ready for use when the first ^^^^'"^ is finished. "When the second block is built, the boiler house will be extended, and for the other two blocks similar rooms will be erected, alongside the first. When the twenty-four houses are completed the boiler plant will form practically a unit in the center of the range. In the service building will be provided sleeping quarters and office space, as well as packing and work rooms. A modern refrigerating outfit will provide cold storage for cut flowers. A railway track will extend directly through the service building, between the large chimneys. This track will run overhead, so that dump cars can be used and the coal drop directly in front of the boilers, ready for stoking. These chimneys are five feet in diam- eter and 100 feet high, of brick, with the name GuUett in red brick. Although the service building is of frame con- struction, it is modern in every respect. It has a concrete floor throughout and is built of cypress and pine. The heating system is the Moninger vacuum system, just brought out this summer. There are eight vacuum pumps and eight boiler feed pumps to be used in the completed range. All of these pumps are to be cross-con- nected for each battery, so that the plant can be operated under any weath- er conditions and with economy. The horse-power of the boilers amounts to 2,100, an oquiv.-ilent of 210,000 feet of radiation. In each of the houses are ten benches. Four are four feet wide and six are four and one-half feet wide. Along the walks across the middle of the houses will be tracks, on which are to run cars with soil, fertilizer, etc. All the pipes, too, are carried overhead, along this walk, so that heat, water, etc., may be distributed from the middle of the houses. Although the contract was not signed until July 8, one house, 60x500, has al- ready been completed and turned over to Gullett & Sons for planting, and the steel work of the second house is going up rapidly. The John C. Moninger Co. expects to have this one completed by the middle of September. The houses are to be devoted principally to roses, carnations and pot plants, although, other stock niav be included later. NEW YOBK. The Market. The hottest week of the summer to (late is past. Several days the mercury touched 100 degrees in the shade. This and the prolonged humidity did their share in causing the verdict of "the worst week ever known in the cut flower business in New York." Nothing to compare with these conditions has ever been known here, according to the vet- erans of twenty-five years' experience. There seems little hope of any uplift in the near future, and it requires consid- erable philosophy to see the sunshine beyond the clouds. The war in Europe is already felt most seriously in the trade. What the future will unfold can only be conjectured, and it needs an enormous amount of optimism to main- tain both enterprise and hope. There is a flood of roses arriving daily. Even American Beauties were almost unmovable. Specials were of- fered as low as $4 per hundred, with no demand. All varieties of roses ac- cumulated, and any offer for them was gladly accepted. One department store offered, for its Saturday special, Beau- ties at 5 cents each, a box of flowers for 18 The Florists^ Review Aloust 27, 1914.

Following the precedent set at Balti- more, Minneapolis and Boston, the Cali- fornians will be justified in sending the S. A. F. back east in care of the same man as president who takes it west as vice-president. And they can do it. This surely has been a good summer — not one important failure in any branch of the trade. Perhaps this is due to the greater attention now being given to credits, but, on the other hand, the good luck may be due to business being better than usual. The S. a. F. convention really marks the opening of the autumn season. After the convention the store men get busy. Any incomplete remodeling or redecorat- ing must be finished at once. Supplies ordered for autumn delivery will be com- ing in early in September — and any pur- chases that have been postponed must be attended to at once.

Some houses dye it here — with German dyes — while others import the dyed article from Germany. There seems little chance of the German rus- cus getting here before Christmas and if the raw material arrives from Italy, how about the dves? It is said there are practically no stocks of dyes in this country. To show to what a bulk the ruscus now runs, one of the jobbing houses that does its own dyeing tore states that it has twenty tons of rus- cus on hand and forty tons more or- dered from Italy.

SPRAY FOR RED SPIDER. Referring to the query of R. a[., headed "Red Spider on Hardy Phlox.'" in The Review for July 30, I wish tf> say that if he will use the spray the formula for which is given in the article on "Spray for Tarnish Bug," in The Review for August 13, he will have no further trouble. Use the spray as directed, and then give another spray- ing three days later, using as much force on the spray pump as possible, lii order to get the best results, the plants should be as dry as possible before tiny are sprayed. Do not dissolve the cyanide indoors, as the fumes are injurious to the health. For this reason, if the spray is used in the greenhouse, the ventilators and doors should be bpen while the sprayinjj is done. In preparing the spray, dis- solve the three teaspoonfuls of pow- dered cyanide of potassium in one quart of boiling water, and add one pound of brown sugar; after mixing these thor- oughly, add two gallons of cold watov. The spray can be used in any eo?u- pressed air sprayer. A. Hallott. CHICAGO. The Market. The market gives only slight evi- dence of the fact that this is the closing week of summer. There is a steady improvement in the demand, but noth ing to indicate that in a few days it will be September and time for tlio market to awaken to ten months oi activity. The schools will open in about a week, but that does not seem to V)e the stimulating factor it once was. in the early days of the business it was a common remark that the opening of the schools brought the flower buyers home and started trade for the season. Now it seems to take weather that is too cold for automobiling. If the flower buyers had come home a little earlier than usual this year, the market would have been ready f<'r them. Rose crops, especially, ha^i' come on earlier this year than usuil The end of August never saw this mar- ket so well supplied with first-cla s roses. To be sure, the stems, with fc*^ exceptions, are not yet long, but t! e flowers are of excellent summer qu; t ity and the supply is considerably ahe; 1 of the needs of the hour. Beauties ha e been abundant all summer. They st'll are. The shorts are not quite so ple.i- tiful as they were, for the growers ha" e been cutting from the young plants f r several weeks.

THE crops are coming in earlier than usual and we now ar« in a position to supply first-class stock in all varieties — the standard sorts grown a little better than most men grow them, and the novelty roses that your customers will be calling for as soon as they see them — don't let it be at the "other fellow's" store. See the list for prices : |0^ BEAUTIES We shall be glad to keep you supplied with good Beauties— any length. We ALWAYS have large cuts of Beauties and you can get them here every day in the year. The stock is grown by Beauty specialists— men who grow nothing also. This week we have a big cut from young plants— plenty of short and medium stems. VALLEY We always have Valley — the famous Chicago Market Brand. ORCHIDS You can get here as m&ny fine Cattleyas as you need. FANCY LILIES These are home-grown Lilies, true Giganteums, grown from per- fectly healthy bulbs. They will reach you in excellent condition and make money foi* you. Can supply in quantity. Also can furnish Rubrums and Auratums of fine quality. ASTERS Our late Asters are quite out of the ordinary. Grown under irri- gation, these Asters are the best in market. White, pink, lavender. Try some. You'll want more. Of course we have short Asters, too, for work. GLADIOLI We do not handle the mixed stock dumped on the market by growers 01 bulbs. Our Glads are grown by specialists who grow for cut flowers only and who start with the right varieties, grow them right, cut them right and pack them right. Plenty of America, King and Augusta. FANCY FERNS By ordering of us you can get all the Hardy Cut Ferns you need. Our stock is good; we never ship anything but the best on the market. Current Price List OatttorM.

This includes the various Killarney types except Killarney Bril- liant. This rose has been largely planted for a novelty and is coming in nicely, but the space given to it is only a small fraction of the total space growers give the original type of Killarney. "White is not 80 heavily planted as a few years ago. Mrs. Shawyer has given an ex- cellent account of itself this summer. Maryland still is liked by some who grow summer roses, but many have dropped it and given the space to Shaw- yer. Sunburst is more abundant than it ever has been before; the growers have planted it heavily; it is more abundant than Ward, but the latter will come into its own as soon as the de- mand for corsage work picks up. Bul- garie is selling well; and there seldom is an accumulation, for the public likes the color. Milady will be a strong com- petitor of Richmond this season, but this is not the time for any special de- mand for red. Hadley does not yet cut any figure, though available in small ?uantitie8. Mrs. Bussell continues in avor; ever since the new crop came in it has been the best selling variety on the list. The market still is well supplied with gladioli, although the receipts perhaps are not quite so heavy as they were be- fore the growers awakened to a thor- ough realization of what the stock was bringing. America continues to be the best seller and it is so plentiful that it leaves little chance to work off the less desirable varieties. King also goes well, compared to the general run of stock. The aster season is on the wane. Lilies continue equal to all re- quirements. The call for orchids is be- ginning to pick up a little, but August has not given the prices usually ob- tained for fine cattleyas. Valley is not pressing for a market and comes nearer realizing regular prices than anything else on the list. Here and there a bunch of short-stemmed carnations is seen, the first pick indoors. A few Golden Glow chrysanthemums come in, but the supply is erratic and the de- mand even more so.

WK ARK WHOLESAURS DOINO A STRICTLY WHOLESALE BUSINESS Mention The Review when you write sale business does not get half the at- tention it deserves. Albert Sawyer, of River Forest, is devoting more attention to real estate and building business than to asters this summer. His field of the Astermum is not so large as usual and, instead of shipping to local commission houses, his daughter, Anna Grace Sawyer, expects to use most of the crop in her retail store. E. C. Amling says that the reason the cut flower business has not been good of late is that the weather has been so favorable that the people are living outdoors. ' ' Give us a little bad weather to drive the people into their homes again," says Mr. Amling, "and you will find that the flower business will pick up promptly." At the store of Kennicott Bros. Co. E. E. Pieser pointed to some fine pots of Golden Glow with the remark that it was no use getting them in during August; people don't want mums until frost. The Weiss & Meyer Co., Maywood, has doubled its plant at Maywood this season. It will all be in Beauties. John Michelsen says planting was be- gun in the new houses last week. After having made a month's auto- mobile tour to New England, Wm. A. Peterson has been spending his week ends at Winona Lake, Ind., where Mrs. Peterson is active in a young women's club. After the convention at Boston, A. L. Vaughan and wife went to Hatfield, Mass., where their daughter has been visiting for a fortnight, to spend a few days with W. E. Lynch and family. After devoting many years to the cut flower business in Chicago, Mr. Lynch is now growing tobacco on a farm in the valley of the Connecticut. Senator Kendreck has ordered an- other steam boiler from the Kroeschell Bros. Co. for his estate at Sheridan, Wyo. According to all reports, Lubliner & "Trinz are doing well on their moving picture venture this summer. They have ■Orchestra hall for ninety days at a rental of $15,000.

On the other hand, the firm has benched 40,000 plants of Bonnaffon and 30,000 plants of Chadwiek, none of the newer sorts having been found to compare with these old favorites when it comes to putting dollars into the cash drawer. Mr. Wietor says that pompons paid well last season in spite of the lower prices and that they have been planted in in- creased quantity this year. Arthur F.
