The soil in which the plants are now growing is on raised benches and is the same as was used during the seasons of 1912 and 1913. It was taken out of the bench and stacked in a pile six feet high, about fifteen feet wide and about thirty feet long, with the addition of a little ma- nure. The plants were benched in the middle of September. The night tem- perature is 50 degrees, with 10 to 15 degrees of a rise in the daytime. The varieties are the Enchantress family, Beacon and White Wonder. At this time of the year a good watering will keep the soil wet from twenty-one to ■• twenty-five days. J. N. The specimens submitted showed a bad case of stigmonose, the disease that is making such inroads on the vitality of carnations, especially the Enchant- ress family, all over the country. I have noted it also on Beacon, but have seen little of it on White Wonder. The fact that the soil you are using is old, and requires three weeks or more to dry out on your raised beds, would indicate that it is in a condition not congenial to the plants. This lack of drainage might be the cause of your trouble, or at least would aggravate it. I have seen numerous attempts at grow- ing carnations in old* soil, but seldom with anythiilg like fair success. The number of successes are so few that I am inclined to look on the whole propo- sition with disfavor. I would not think of using a batch of soil a second time without having spread it out and grown on it a good sod for at least two or more years. Even then I would doubt its value as compared with new sod. A. F. J. B. SHEEP MANURE IN COMPOST. We should like to know what ferti- lizer is best for carnations in benches. We are referring to the soil for next spring. We have a compost in which, for every four loads of sandy soil, we used one load of sheep manure. Do you think that will do as well as any other animal fertilizer? We have been told that it is not the best for the purpose; so we decided to get your advice before using the compost. M. C. J. & S. Under ordinary conditions, I would not consider sheep manure a good sub- stitutiB for cattle or stable manure in preparing your compost for next year. It might be all right to supplement the other manure with a moderate, amount of sheep manure, in case the soil lacked in fertility. Sheep manure is rich in nitrogen and is one of the best manures to use for adding that necessary ele- ment to the soil, but the soil needs more humus than would thus be provided. This, by the way, is one of the main reasons why chemical manures alone have not been found satisfactory. If you are unable to secure as much cattle or stable manure as you require for preparing your compost, you can help matters somewhat by preparing the soil before it is composted. For this you can use some of the green manures, such as soy beans or red clover, in addi- tion to what , manure you can get. I do not know what kind of sheep manure you propose to use, but if it is the kind we use — that is, pulverized and dried — then the proportion you propose is far too much. One to twenty would be plenty. A. F..J. B. HELPING ONE ANOTHER. Opportunity, it has been remarked, has a fine shock of hair in front but is exceedingly bald behind, and Albert Pochelon is one of those who hope the trade will seize while the seizing is good — and take a lot of telegraph or- ders to send out for St. Valentine's day. Mr. Rpchelon, as nearly every- one knows, is all wrapped up in the F. T. D., of which he is secretary. He has put a vast amount of effort into acquainting the trade with the possi- bilities that lie in the business of ex- changing orders among retailers. Until quite recently the work has been to get florists interested; now it is to get florists to interest the public. "Only a small portion of the possible flower buying public has been reached," said Mr. Pochelon the other day, "but the volume of exchange ord^ers has in- creased wonderfully. Business condi- tions at the best have necessitated earnest efforts, but with a sure return for earnest effort in this direction dur- ing the coming St. Valentine's period, unusual appeals for telegraph orders should be resorted to. Travel in the United States will undoubtedly be heavier during the coming season than ever before. The relationship of peo- ple living in the United States will be closer than ever, and the resultant benefits to the flower business are obvi- ous."/^ Mr. Pochelon is able to report fre- quent additions to the membership in the Florists' Telegraph Delivery and is receiving many letters showing that genuine interest is being taken in the movement to work up orders of this character. "The effort at Christmas was unpreeedentedly successful; why not do the same thing for St. Valen- tine's day and make it stand forth a winner^" he says. PALMS USED FOB DECORATING. Please let me know how to handle old palms that have been used for decorating. - Some of the leaves are lost and the others are damaged to a greater or less extent. Please tell me how to treat the plants so that the foliage will be renewed as quickly as possible. I have all the necessary heat and moisture at my disposal, but can not get the plants to grow leaves fast enough to make the work pay. C. H. P. At this season the palms that have been used for decorating will not re- cover rapidly from their injuries, from the fact that the present is the resting Caraation Laura Weber as Shown at Buffalo.

Two of the Albert Roper Varieties that will make their Debuts Next Year and the Year After. period for most of these plants. But by the middle of March, or from that date to April 1, the palms will begin to get active again, and measures may be taken to start them along. The first thing to do is to repot them, removing as much of the old soil as possible without breaking the roots. Pot firmly in as small pots as the roots will allow. Place the plants in a shaded greenhouse having a night temperature of 65 to 68 degrees; wa- ter thoroughly to settle the soil in the pots; syringe well every bright day and do not allow the plants to' get dry at the root, and with such care the plants ought to make growth fcnough to form useful stock for decora- tions next winter, A good carnation soil will answer for the compost; or, if your soil is heavy, add a little sand to it and use well rotted manure as a fertilizer. Do not apply any liquid manure at this time, for the plants will not be in condition to utilize it W, H. T. now. PLANTS FOR PORCH BOXES. Can you tell me what vines and flow- ering plants can be used in porch boxes ana will stand full exposure to the sun? F. W. H. A few suitable vines are: Vinca ma- jor, both green and variegated; Senecio scandens, or German Ivy; English ivy, Asparagus Sprengeri, tall nasturtiums, Tradeseantia zebrina, Ficus repens, Abutilon megapotamicum and thunber- gias. Some of the best flowering plants are: Zonale geraniums, which are the best of all flowering plants for boxes; verbenas, petunias, Vinca rosea, Ian- tanas; such begonias as gracilis, Vesu- vius and Erfordii; ageratums and abu- tilons. Blue lobelia makes a useful hanging plant also. C, W, FUMiaANT FOR VIOLETS. In an endeavor to oust the fly from our violet houses we have been using tobacco stems. Although the weather has been sunny and moderate, the smoke seems to cling to the violets in such a way as to render them almost unsalable. As there is a good demand for the stock, we are wondering whether you could inform us of any quicker method of exterminating the fly, so that the violets themselves will not take so long a time to recuperate after treatment. D. E. Tobacco stems make the worst pos- sible fumigant for violets. In addi- tion to making the flowers practically unsalable, there is much danger of scorching the foliage. Try nicotine pa- pers. They are effective and cleanly, and leave no disagreeable odor behind them. The liquid can also be evapo- rated. Tobacco dust is far preferable to stems and does not leave any dis- agreeable smell on the flowers. Many violet specialists now use hydrocyanic acid gas exclusively; a weak dose once a week keeps the plants healthy and, once used, it is always used. Where an all-night exposure is given, a weaker dose proves inore effective than when a 20-minute exposure is given. After the exposure, the ventilators should be opened from outdoors, C. W, A START IN VIOLET GROWING. . As you have always helped me out of my difliculties, I am bringing them to you again, I have a small house in which I intend to plant violets next season, and, as I have never handled them, I wish you would give me a little information. I should like to grow the double varieties, and also a few of the singles if there is a good single variety that will do well with the doubles. Is Marie Louise the ^%^st double variety to grow? What kind of soil is most suitable and about what percentage of clay should it contain? The soils in this vicinity are a light clayey loam and a heavy, black loam, almost muck. Which is preferable for the violets? If I pile sods and manure this spring, can I use the compost in the fall? How deep should the beds" be made and is it advisable to use drainage in the bottom? How closely should the plants be set in the beds? Would it be advis- able to plant a row of sweet peas along each 5-foot bed in January for a late spring crop? At what temperature should they be kept at night? P. E. M. Single violets succeed best in winter in a night temperature as near 40 de- grees as possible. They cannot be housed early, as the plants must have one or two moderate freezings to check the leaf growth; otherwise they make a rank growth of leaves at the expense of flowers. The best variety is Princess of Wales, Double violets will not bring the same prices as the singles and are 14 The Florists^ Review Fbbbcaky 4, 1915. z: iflbre difficult to sell if in competition with the long-stemmed, large and dark blue violet, Princess of Wales. You can probably succeed with both double and single violets in the same house if you give the single ones the cooler end of the house. The double varieties must be given 2 to 5 degrees more heat. While Marie Louise is the best colored double violet, it is more susceptible to disease than Lady Hume Campbell, which is now more grown commercially than any other double variety. The best soil for violets is a fairly heavy loam, inclined to be sandy, with one-fourth its body of cow manure added. If this can be mixed the fall before being used, all the better, but if done early in the spring, chopped down and mixed^.once before hovg^ng, it should be all right. The double va- rieties can be planted eight inches apart each way, but the singles need more room. If of a large size, 12 x 12 is not too far apart. Small plants could go a little closer. Sweet peas could be started in flats or pots and planted out as suggested for a late spring crop. Use the winter- blooming Spencers. Of course sweet peas need at least six to eight feet of head room. While violets will do in six to eight inches of soil, sweet peas should have double that depth if possi- ble. Sweet peas can have 45 degrees at night until the buds show; then the temperature should be kept at 50 de- grees, with a rise of 10 to 15 degrees in the daytime. i C. W. PEELINQ BX7LBI.ETS. I notice in the gladiolus department in The Review for January 28 that a writer uses the words corm and bulblet as if they were synonymous. Corm is the proper name of the root commonly called bulb; the small, hard-shelled off- sets are called cormels, the syllable "el" being the diminutive in the Latin. The writer who asks about peeling bulblets (cormels) is advised that if the variety is rare and high-priced it will pay to peel the bulblets, which can be done by holding the bulblet in the left hand and taking off the point and just a strip of the shell. There is a great deal of difference in the germinat- ing quality of different sorts, some seeming to have a harder shell than others. Ordinary varieties are treated by soaking for a day or so, but if the bulblets when first dug are put in boxes of naturally moist earth and kept in a cool place they will not get dry and hard. On the other hand, I have known dry bulblets to remain a year in the ground and come up the next spring. After the bulblet has been grown one season, no matter how little, it loses its shell and will start readily. Geo. 8. Woodruff. GLADIOLUS FLOWEES FOE JUNE. I want to grow gladioli for a flower show to be held here, in northeastern New Jersey, the first week in June. If I plant them out from February 15 to 20 and keep them in a cool cellar until May, do you think they will bloom the first week in June? I have grown a great many gladioli, but never have started them so early. W. K. If you have a greenhouse bench at your disposal, plant out the gladioli, in good soil, from February 15 to 20. In an average night temperature of 50 de- grees they will flower about the time named. If some come along early, you can cut them while in bud and hold them for some time in a cold cellar. I am referring now to the large-flowered gladioli, such as America, King, Klon- dyke, Brenchleyensis, Chicago White, etc. If you have no bench at disposal, plant three or four bulbs in 7-inch pots and flower in an ordinary greenhouse; or, if you have no greenhouse, pot off singly in 4-inch pots and plant in a warm position outdoors about April 10. Some would flower on time, but only a small proportion, I am afraid. C. W. AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY. The American Gladiolus Society will hold two shows next August, one at Atlantic City, which will be a mam- moth trade exhibit, not for competition, the idea being to create a greater in- terest in the gladiolus. Maurice Fuld, 1 Madison avenue. New York, has the matter in charge and would be glad to correspond with any wishing to take part. The annual meeting and show will be held at Newport, B. I. The pre- liminary schedule of prizes will be is- sued soon.

The article in the issue of The Be* view for January 14 entitled "Sun Shines Sometimes" was a most valu- able contribution, while that in the is- sue of January 21, "Fire Often, Fire Light," if followed, means the saving of thousands of dollars and better re- sults in firing boilers. A clean, level, thin fire, light firing and often, would astonish all who have not tried it. The intense heat generated and the saving of coal from this practice is well worth consideration. Either article is worth many times the cost of your valuable paper. A. W. Beiman. IT LOOKS LIKE STATICE. If you were confronted with a speci- men like that shown in the illustration on this page and asked to identify it, what would you call it I W. C. Kaber, of Orland, Cal., who sent The Beview the photograph from which the repro- duction is made, at first thought it was a statice and so did the botanist to whom he submitted a sample for identification Its name is, however, Eriogonum vimineum; Mr. Kaber chris- tens it "Pink Mist," which, he be- lieves, is easier and fits the plant bet- ter. Its home is the arid valleys of Cali- fornia, where it blooms from July to November, when almost all other an- nuals have succumbed. Being thus out of the way of horticulturists and botanists, the plant is little known. While it is a wonderful drought re- sister, says Mi. Kaber, it yields readily to cultivation and irrigation, and with little attention plants two feet in height and about the same in diameter can be grown. Further description of the plant, given by Mr. Kaber, is a»> follows: ' "The leaves, of which there are few, are nestled close, about the base of the plant. They are round and downy, and of a*silvery, greenish color. Early in the ^gaaon the stems, also, are of this color, but are destitute of fo- liage. Th|r photograph was made from a branch about ' twelve inches long, stuck into a small Japanese pot. The nodules along the fine, .wiry sl^ems are, in reality, tufts of tiny pink flowers, varying in color on different plants from pale, pearly pink to beautiful carmine rose, giving the entire plant the appearance of pink mist. / "Used as gypsophila or stevia, it is excellent; the wiry stiffness of the stems makes an ideal framework for the arrangement of other flowers, while the color lends a charm not found in anything else of the kind. Another im- portant feature is the fact that it never droops or wilts, but simply dries up, retaining its color indefinitely. If handled carefully, it can be used to great advantage in a dry state; in fact, the photograph was ipade from a dried specimen." Erk>gonum Vimineum, Pink Mist.

The Florists' Review 15 CAREFUL CATERING TO ig X COUNTRY CUSTOMERS ■1 ■" ■■ '■■ ■■ "■ " " I HE flower business, more than al- most any other busi- ness, necessi- tates cater- ing to out-of-fown trade, for home consumption is not large enough to insure success for a florist outside of the large cities. Hence, every florist who is located so that the railroad facilities are good, must expand by working up an out-of- town business. This line requires ex- ceedingly careful handling, for the motto should be "Hang on to the old customers and the new ones will come. ' ' As a rule when a florist makes a ship- ment to a small town everyone in that town knows that Mrs. So-and-so re- ceived some flowers. If they are not up to standard, his future orders from that town are going to be extremely small. But if he sends good stock, properly packed, so that the blooms arrive at their destination without hav- ing been chilled and without half the heads broken oflP the roses or the out- side petals torn off because the flowers were not tied to the box, he will in all likelihood hear from that place again. My Method. The method I have used to work up out-of-town trade is to secure a good agent in every town within shipping distance and allow him or her a com- mission on all orders, the persons ordering paying the cost, such as express, parcel post, telephoning or tele- graphing. We issue a weekly price-list to all our agents, keeping them posted on prices and flowers in stock, making a notation on the varieties that are scarce, so that they may work on the flow- , ers that are in largest supply. We also keep each agent supplied with a catalogue of il- — -lustrations of floral ar- rangements of all kinds, so that the customer may select the style, emblem or design, and / the varieties, etc., ' which he or she desires. The object is to make it as easy as possible for • the agent to secure the order and not take too much of his time. Through the agent, lot shipments may be made, bringing the ex- press charges down to a niinimum. We discour- age parcel post ship- ments whenever we ■ " " '" " ■" ■' "' " '"= A paper entitled "Floral Suggestions to Out- of-town Flower Lovers," read at the annual meet- ing of the Nebraska State Florists' Society, at Lincoln, January 19, 1915. can, for we know the handling of flow- ers is not a success when mail sacks are thrown around as they are. We do not guarantee the arrival of flow- ers on time by parcel post, as it is quite uncertain. For these two rea- sons we suggest making shipment by express when possible. Of course, local rural routes are all right for cut flower shipment, as the mail for these is not sacked. Small Profits in Plants. As to working off the surplus in pot- ted plants during the spring months, we have not paid as much attention to that end of the business of late as we did in former years. We have had con- Ed. WilUams, the Mao who put the Grand In Grand bland. siderable experience with this line, and think it better if it can bo eliminated. Of course^ we solicit out-of-town shipments of potted plants and have a nice trade in them, but we do not work it as extensively^ as for- merly. In the early days we used to keep two or three teams out from May 1 until the end of June, but the ex- pense is too great to allow a good mar- gin of profit in disposing of them in that manner now. We tried to get an agent for plants in every town in our territory, but it is hard to find the right person. Our agents for cut flowers do not, as a rule, care to deal in plants. We get good results, how- ever, by asking them to refer to us some one who they think would like to handle plants for us. During the last few years we have picked out the leading papers in our territory and placed in them advertise- ments calling attention to our agents and stating that we carry a full line of house and garden plants, on which we should be pleased to submit prices. For this purpose we have printed in pamphlet form a price-list of all our plants. Nine out of every ten inquiries result in an order, and the cost is small, for there is no commission to be paid. Then, too, when an or- der comes direct, you can ship the plants out of pots, adding an ex- tra plant or two, and the transaction is much more satisfactory all around. For these rea- sons I think this method is better than agents. Counting the Cost. Now, the cost of do- ing a shipping business is considerably larger than that of disposing of all your stock at home, for you are vir- tually doing a wholesale business. When you al- low over twenty per cent to agents, there- fore, you are giving too much. In securing new agents now we try to get them to accept fif- teen per cent. Of course, where there is competition we have to allow more, but we have a limit. I think a com- mon understanding that twenty per cent should be a uniform discount would be welcomed by the trade. Ten years ago we re- ceived practically the same prices that we are [Continued on page 72.] V y 16 The Florists^ Review Fbbbdaby 4, 1011. given them a good mulch of rotted cow manure, with some ashes and sheep manure. We have also let the beds dry out some and have then given them a good soaking. We have had only about six bright days since November 26. A. D. M. SHAWYER GOING BLIND. I would appreciate any information regarding the general treatment of Shawyer roses, to prevent them from going blind during the winter months. I have one 300-foot house planted with Shawyer roses. Two beds are planted with own-root stock and two with grafted stock. The plants were healthy when planted last June and made remarkable growth, giving us a heavy cut until the first part of December. From then on the plants made healthy growth and were practically free from mildew, but only a small proportion of the breaks set buds, the rest of thtoi going blind. This stock was carefully handled. The plants received liquid manure every other week and had one light feeding of pulverized sheep manure, applied about November 1. The plants are growing on raised beds " and are at this date in a healthy Vondition, still throwing large quantities of blind wood^ even though the breaks are heavy. Milady roses growing in the next connected house are giving excel- lent results, though they were handled in exactly the same way as Shawyer. W. J. T. ' • >. ten inches in the spring, the same as I would do to other outdoor rosesi I shall appreciate any information on this. H. M. We had a similar experience with Shawyer in one house last year, which came almost all blind, while another house planted at the same time and un- der the same conditions gave us a wonderful crop. Kightly or wrongly, we blamed the temperature. The warm house was the one that ran blind, while the cooler house, where the tempera- ture was not running higher than 53 to 55 degrees, gave us magnificent blooms. From our knowledge of the variety, I would say that the more you punish the plants the more blooms they will produce. If W. J. T. will cut the blind wood down, I think he will find the succeeding breaks will all produce flowers; at least, they did with us. It is not necessary, of course, to cut all the blind wood off the plant at the same time, but just remove a little every few days, so that the plant can adjust itself as it does when a crop of flowers is being cut, and you will find no harm will result. Charles H. Totty. Rosa rugosa, if cut back hard like the hybrid perpetual roses, will make strong growths but will not flower at all. It needs only a little pruning. Simply remove any dead or dying wood and take the ends from the long canes, r do not know which wild roses you refer to, but these also need light prun- ing. I would merely cut away any dead and apparently useless wood from them. C. W. BEAUTY ROSE PLANTS DYING. I am sending by mail, in separate cover, two shoots from some Beauty plants with which we are having trou- ble. PleasiB tell me, if you can, what causes them to turn yellow as they are doing! They are planted in benches containing good sod soil. Some of the plants are fine, strong growers, while others gradually turn yellow, the leaves wither and then the plants die. There are three lines of 2-inch pipe under each bench. We keep a temper- ature of 56 to 62 degrees at night and about 70 degrees in the daytime. We have not fed the plants with liquid manurev since November 20, but have When roses are planted in benches, it sometimes happens that some plants start growth faster than others that are planted next to them. In that case the larger plants will take up the mois- ture as they receive it, while the ' smaller plants, receiving practically the same amount, will stay continually wet. The soil around such plants will be- come sour and the roots of these plants will die. In such cases it is good policy to allow the whole bench to dry out thoroughly, only giving the larger plants just enough water to keep them from suffering. After the whole bench is entirely dry, so that, if packed solid, it will start to crack, then go over it four to six times from both sides of the bench and soak it so that the water will pour through the bot- tom. This will wash out any impurities contained in the soil, and after such treatment the soil should dry out fairly evenly. If found necessary, this opera- tion may be repeated until all the plants start to make healthy growth. By this treatment it is impossible to overwater a plant, as the soil, when allowed to dry out well, will only ab- sorb a small quantity of water and will dry out again more quickly than if given a small quantity of water at a time. The temperature for Beauties should bo kept as hear as possible to 58 to 60 degrees at night, 63 to 65 degrees on cloudy days and 70 degrees on clear days. W. J. K. BRUNS' NEW STORE. As the establishment of H. N. Bruns, at 3040 West Madison street, which is shown in the accompanying illustra- tion, was completed nearly a year ago, the term "new" is applied more with reference to its appearance than to its PRUNING ROSA RUGOSA.

For it is always kept^n the beat of order, as if the openingyiad only oc- curred last week. Mr. Bruns was a well known^figure in the Chicago trade long before that time, not only as a retailer^^ut also as a distributor of cold storage valley pips and as the grower of Chicago Mar- ket Brand cut valley. The pips are distributed from this store and the cut valley is grown in the greenhouses to the east and ^ear of the store. There are other things besides the comparative newness and perennial or- derliness of the establishment that raise it above the rank and file of flower stores, things that were planned by the owner from a long experience in the business. The large windows are the first feature to catch the eye i)i the illustration, and they, or rather the displays in them, catch the eye of the passing pedestrian just as readily. In- side, too, everything is arranged to make the selling of flowers easy for the salesman, and the buying, as nearly as possible, a necessity to the visitor. TROUBLE WITH EASTES ULIES. We are sending you, under separate cover, an Easter lily and should be glad to have you tell us what is the matter with the plant, as about fifty per cent of two cases are in the same condition or worse. The bulbs seem to make good root action, but many of them are like the sample and some have made no top growth whatever. K. & G. This is not an uncommon trouble with Easter lilies. It may be due in part to improper treatment, but is more probably owing to the bulbs be- ing prematurely dug and shipped to America before being properly ripened. Longiflorum lilies need no water after potting, if the soil is fairly moist. When they dry out, give them a soak- ing, but run them on the dry side until the pots are well filled with roots and top growths are nicely started. They must have a good heat from the start, especially the giganteums; 60 •degrees at night is all right. If started cool and kept moist, more or less dis- ease is sure to develop. The bulb sent had made a cluster of leaves and the spike was just coming up. Except for the narrow foliage it would have passed for L. candidum, the ascension lily. C. W. AN OLD-FASHIONED POT PLANT. I am sending you, under separate cover, a specimen plant of which we should like to know the name. We purchased the plants a few years ago, but never did anything with them un- til this year, when we sold more of them than of any other plants in the house. V. E. E. The plant is Eeinwardtia trigyna, also and more popularly called Linum trigynum. It is a native of India. It is an old favorite in greenhouses and makes a charming pot plant. It is lit- tle seen now in America, but still is grown considerably for winter flower- ing in Europe. C. W. MAY BE LIUUM MYRIOPHYLLUM. I would like to know the name of a lily, which I will try to describe, that I saw grown by a friend near the coast in Oregon. It is similar in habit of growth to auratum, but grows some- what taller, attaining a height of seven to eight feet. It produces from fifteen to twenty flowers to the stem. The flowers are of immense size, being eight to twelve inches in diameter, and are a pure waxy white, with a light gold band, but absolutely without specks. It blooms late in August. This lily seems to multiply slowly. I would like to know if there is any treatment that might be given it to make it increase more rapidly. T. H. W. The only lilium I am acqu'ainted with which seems to tally with your descrip- tion is the somewhat new L. myriophyl- lum, a native of China. In the east, it grows four to six feet high, carrying on stout stalks occasionally eighteen to twenty-five flowers. The flowers are white, slightly suffused with pink, with canary yellow at the center and ex- tending partway up the trumpet. It has a delicate perfume. In the east. it blooms outdoors about the middle of July. Such varieties as Japonieum, Alexandras, Brownii and giganteum do not answer your description. The last- named grows eight to twelve feet high, but the flowers lack the size of the variety you speak of. I am speaking of the true Lilium giganteum and not of the little L. longiflorum giganteum grown so much for Easter. L. myriophyllum can be propagated readily from seed. They start to flower in two years and in five years produce stout stalks. C. W. PLANTS WILTING AND DYING. I am enclosing some leaves of cycla- mens and of primulas. What is the trouble with them? Can you tell me how to prevent it? The primulas start to grow nicely; then they begin to turn brown and the plants are ruined. The cyclamens turn a reddish brown on the under side of the leaves; then the leaves wilt. Would strong feeding cause this? Please tell us how to grow strong, healthy plants. W. F. The leaves had been frozen some- what before arriving, but I should say that improper soil and dryness at the root were the probable main contribut- ing causes to the poor condition of the plants. Injudicious feeding would cer- tainly be harmful, especially if applied in midwinter. Plants of this character need some feeding when well rooted, but only in moderate doses, and once a week is often enough during Decem- ber and January. The surface soil should be stirred occasionally to keep the soil sweet and wholesome. Neither of these plants needs a warm house; a temperature of 45 to 50 de- grees at night is ample. Both succeed well in a somewhat light compost, con- taining plenty of partly decayed leaf- mold and loam, besides some old, well rotted dry manure and sand. In sum- mer they are as well or better off in coldframes, with lath shades over them during the heat of the day. It would take considerable space to cover the culture of these plants, but you will find frequent notes on them in the cul- tural calendar of The Review, C. W.

While Easter has not been a spe- cially good holiday for the sale of hydrangeas, the sale of these being de- cidedly better at Memorial day, the advent of the new French hydrangeas has completely changed these condi- tions. The French sorts, coming in such a variety of pleasing shades, in- cluding pure white, pale pink, deep pink, lavender blue and deep blue, have taken their place among the most sat- isfactory of (Easter plants. They will never displace the old Otaksa for out- door uses, as they are more delicate, but they lack the coarseness of that va- riety, and, flowering with such won- derful freedom from even the weakest shoots, they are now among the most popular plants of the present day. Plants intended for Easter flowering should have their flower heads now w^ell exposed to view, and, if they are a couple of inches across, hard forcing will not be necessary. It is better to bring them along in a temperature of 55 degrees at nignt rather than warmer. Bemember that hydrangeas want lots of water and generous feeding. If any are showing pale foliage, a pinch of nitrate of soda in the water or some soot water will soon color them up. A few specially fine varieties of H. hortensis for florists are: Bouque^ Bose, bright pink; Mme. E. Mouillere, pure white; Radiant, rosy carmine, a splendid color; General de "Vibraye, bright rose; Mile, de Tremault, large pure white; Souv. de Mme. Chautard, bright rose. This is a good season to take cut- ings of non-flowering wood from any of the hydrangeas. If these are planted out in May where they can get an occasional watering, they will maJie heavy plants fit for 8-inch pots in September. Hardy Perennials from Seed. If it is desired to work up a good stock of any of the more popular hardy herbaceous perennials and an adequate number were not raised last summer or fall, there is no better time than the present to make sowings of any desired varieties. Started now, they can be transplanted into flats, moved into coldframes by the early part of April and planted out in nur- sery rows a month later. Some of the more useful varieties to sow at this time are: Delphiniums, lychnis, aqui- legias, Shasta daisies, lupines, penste- mons, primulas, pyrethrums and Oenotheras. Sow in shallow flats of finely screened compost; one mostly leaf-mold with fine sand added is the best. Canterbury BeUs. For an early Easter it is not possible to force Canterbury bells and have them in really presentable condition. It is far more satisfactory to bring them along cool and flower them from the last of April onward. Plants which were potted m the fall and have been carried over winter in coldframes or pits can be housed now. Strip off all the yellow or decaying leaves, give the surface soil a stirring and place in a cool house for a start. A temperature of 40 to 45 degrees at night is ample for a start. You can treat the plants to high temperatures, but they will not make nearly as satisfactory plants as when grown cooler. Apart from green aphis, Canterbury bells are remarkably free from pests. Occasionally thrips will attack them, but only if they are in an arid atmosphere or standing too near the heating pipes. Canterbury bells make magnificent pot plants and the flowers last far better than when grown outdoors. Cyclamens. With the lengthening days, the little cyclamen plants are starting to grow away nicely. During midwinter there is not much apparent activity among the plants, but from now on the rate of growth will become accelerated. Perhaps your plants are potted off; if so, look over them once a week and give the surface soil a stir, also pull- ing out any weeds. If in flats, do the same. Keep the surface soil open and free from scum, and, provided you have them in suitable compost, one \ containing plenty of flaky leaf-mold, they are sure to make good headway. On clear days give them a spraying overhead, but keep them dry while it is murky overhead. A temperature of 52 to 55 degrees will suit young plants, but 10 degrees lower is best for any flowering plants you still have on hand. (Genistas. Genista plants for Easter must never have any real forcing, or they wUl not amount to much. This is a plant which must be grown cool all the time. A cold house can now receive the plants intended for Easter; any- thing a few degrees clear of freezing will suit them. Discontinue any clip- ping or pinching. This close cropping gives compact, formal looking, well flowered plants, but the racemes are smaller than those carried on more naturally grown plants and it is a question whether it is good policy for florists to continue heading in their genistas so late. Critical buyers will not take these chopped-in genistas at ' any price. They turn to the more naturally grown plants, which are vastly more beautiful and have a grace which is entirely lacking in the others. Boot cuttings of genistas now in a fairly cool propagating bench; one which suits carnations and chrysanthe- mums will prove ideal for genistas. From cuttings rooted now, nice plants in 5-inch pots can be had a year from nowii CABNATION SOIL FOB PEAS. Will carnation soil be all right for sweet peasf E. C. New carnation compost will suit sweet peas well. Sweet peas do best in a solid bed where they , can have eighteen inches of well manured soil. I would not advise using the old car- nation soil for the sweet peas. C. W. SWEET PEA AND VIOLET SOIL. What is the best soil for growing sweet peas under glass; also, for sin- gle violets? We have been using black hill ground mixed with pasture loam, with about one-third of well rotted stable manure. By mistake this year we included too much heavy clay soil, which seems to pack too much and prevents drainage. How can we rem- edy this for the present season? Will frequent cultivation help anyt E, S. Pasture loam with one-third stable manure added makes an excellent com- post for both violets and sweet peas. Cow manure is particularly good for the sweet peas. The inclusion of some clayey soil should not prove particu- larly harmful. About all you can do is to keep the surface soil well stirred, as suggested. To improve the texture of retentive soil, road scrapings, coarse sand, fine coal ashes, etc., can be used, but since your beds are planted, of course nothing of this kind can be added. C. W. SWEET PEAS NOT FLOWEJEUNO. The last week in August I planted, in ground beds, some Spencer sweet peas of the following varieties: Kin& White, Hercules, Elfrida Pearson ana* Florence Nightingale. They are now five to six feet high and are doing well, but show no sign of any flowers. We give them a night temperature of 50 to 54 degrees, with a rise of 12 to 15 degrees during the day. I would like to know when these varieties should begin flowering under the con- ditions mentioned. A. B. The sweet peas named are splendid outdoor varieties, but are entirely un- suited to greenhouse culture, except for a spring or early summer crop. The FteSCABT 4, 191 B. The Florists^ Review 19 plants you have will probably not bloom before early spring. You should have planted the winter-flower- ing Spencer type of sweet peas. The seed is somewhat high-priced, but the plants would have started flowering with you early in November. Be sure to grow these another season. You will find offers of them from a number of seed merchants in The Eeview. C. W. DISTANCE BETWEEN" PIiANTS. How many 'rows of sweet peas should be planted across a 5-foot bed and how far apart in the row should the plants stand? E. C. On a bed five feet wide you cannot grow more than two rows and get satis- factory results. The best growers run their rows lengthwise of the houses and five to six feet apart. If you set the plants' four inches apart in the rows they will be sufficiently thick. Even if you allow six inches they will easily fill the space.^ C. W. EAST MICHiaAN niEETINa. Florists Visit the Boebringers. The meeting of the Saginaw-Bay City Floricultural Society, Monday evening, February 1, at the establishment of Boehringer Bros., Bay City, was well attended considering the blizzard that was raging. Some of the officers were stalled on a derailed interurban car and for that reason the meeting was post- poned for one week, to Monday, Feb- ruary 8, at the same place. This meet- ing is important and all are asked to be present. The rose display was far better than expected. All the exhibits were staged and some choice roses were seen, with Killarneys in the lead. The honors fell to J. B. Goetz Sons, first; Wm. Boethke Floral Co., second; Boehringer Bros, third. Bay City Notes. Boehringer Bros, should be proud of their Primula obconica, as they are easily the best in the valley. JBusiness with them has been better than ex- pected. Richard Irvine is iagain busy shipping small plants for spring sales, in which he has worked up a big trade. The busy man is John Marsh; he has always an overdose of funeral work. Martin Keit, who has a store on Center avenue, is more than pleased with his move; the transient trade keeps him busy. Saginaw Notes. Chas. Frueh & Sons are cutting some exceptionally choice carnations this winter, which are picked up before the day is over. Grohman the Florist has booked many party orders and wedding decorations for this month. Wm. Eoethke Floral Co. i3 constantly kept short of stock, as business is good ■n its three stores. J. B.

Y., says the temptation to hold on to good money is strong, but he has a system by which he has built up a flrst-class business in the mailing department en- tirely through the medium of the clas- sified ad section of The Review, which, as he well remarked, was not to blame if he oversold, but rather the contrary. At the time of my- visit he was figuring on a carload of glass and a White auto truck. W. A. Wettlin, Hornell, N. Y., has made many improvements in his re- cently acquired suburban property of fourteen acres, which was formerly a farm. The location caught the eye of our worthy fellow craftsman and a fine residence is being erected, to be fol- lowed by a range of glass. T. J. Brush, Hornell, in addition to being a selling agent of the White auto truck, has several of the machines in operation. He is also a celery grower of repute and oflfers consolation to the cut flower growers by stating that the entire yield of Golden Self-blanching on 700 acres, at Arkport, N. Y., in which he is largely interested, brought 50 to 75 cents per crate this winter, in comparison with $2 to $2.50 per crate for the same quality at the same time last. year. C. E. Gunton, manager of the G. R. Oliver estate, Bradford, Pa., says Car- nation Philadelphia pleases him. It came into crop late, when prices were better, and so far it is a promising variety. George A. Heelas, Jamestown, N. Y., believes there is some truth in the common assertion that carnations have not sold so well of late, owing to the excellent counterfeits on sale. Certain it is that the day of the sleepy eye and split calyx is past, and the raiser of new varieties, the grower and ship- per of others, must eliminate these faults. The new store is attractive, and business since it was opened has far exceeded the most sanguine expecta- tions of Mr. Heelas. Lawrence Cotter, of Lakeview Rose Gardens, Jamestown, was reminiscent, harking back to the days when, as a member of the old guard, he grew roses that helped make Boston famous. He truly asserted that it is not quantity but quality that counts, and the grower who makes quality his aim is bound to succeed in the long run. Eliot Worden, Jamestown, says his new house almost paid for itself the first season and he figures on rebuilding the old range at the first opportunity. He has a snug local trade. Benjamin Dorrance, Dorranceton, Pa., commented that the fates decreed a phenomenal rose crop for the holi- days, when 30,000 blooms brought smaller returns than the cut of 22,000 of similar quality in the previous year. The crop is now off, but the plants are vigorous. W. M. BULBOUS FLOWERS FOB EASTER. We have 100 pots, also a few flats, of tulips and Golden Spur and Von Sion narcissi. These have just been planted and put under a bench in our propagating ]&ouse, in a temperature of 20 The Florists^ Review Febbuabx 4, 1915. about 50 degrees. Will these plants bloom for Easter if left in this house and not watered too muchf Should we cover them with coal ashes? As we want these plants in bloom for Easter, we should like to know the best way in which to do this. S. B. You have planted your bulbs late; too late, in fact, to expect much from them. They would start far better if kept about 10 to 15 degrees cooler and cov- ered with some coal ashes or sand. They will need seven to eight weeks in the soil before they are rooted and started sufficiently to be brought to the light, and to flower them for Easter you should place the plants in the green- house about March 10. You may be able to get something out of them, but you cannot expect any such flowers as you would have had from bulbs potted at the correct time, viz., in October or early November. C. W. CINCINNATI. The Market. Market conditions continue good; there is a steady, active call for stock that easily takes up nearly all the offer- ings. Shipping business is good. Roses and carnations are a little more plentiful than last week. The supply of lilies continues large and besides Easter lilies includes callas and ru- brums. Valley has a fair market. Double violets do not fare well, but single violets and sweet peas are al- ready enjoying an active call for St. Valentine 's day. The list of small bulb- ous stock includes narcissi, Roman hya- cinths, tulips, jonquils and freesias. Green stock, especially smilax, is fine and plentiful. Various Notes. The Florists' Club's regular meeting will be held February 8, at the Hotel Gibson. C. E. Critchell was the first whole- saler in the market to offer tulips this winter. L. H. Kyrk has been getting in some fine smilax from Water Valley, N. Y. Roger Peterson, of J. A. Peterson & Sons, was among the Cincinnatians in Buffalo last week. Visitors include Mrs. L. A.

The Gates-Judd wedding, which took place January 27, was of much interest to florists. Miss H. B, Whitted had the decorations and Perl Bros, the bou- quets. The rooms were decorated with smilax, palms and white lilac. The bouquets were works of art, of orchids and valley. C. L. L. PITTSBURGH. The Market. Pittsburgh has had a great assort- ment of weather in the last week, vary- ing all the way from zero to the pres- ent thaw, with snow and rain, which be- gan two days ago. These weather vaga- ries have had a bad effect on trade. There are plenty of flowers, as the quantities of bulbous flowers make up for the shortage in most other lines. The only really noticeable shortage is in Beauties, and somehow we do not seem so badly off without them. All other roses are particularly fine and there are just about enough of them to keep prices firm. There is some good lilac, which for some reason does not move even at low prices. Tulips and daffo- dils must be sold cheaply to move any quantity of them and the cold weather gave the violets another bad week. Various Notes. Samuel McClements is spending a few days at Atlantic City, recuperating from his recent illness and getting in shape for the filling of a number of large orders he has on his books. Wm. M. Turner, the Wilkinsburg flo- rist, was coasting with a party of friends on Friday night, January 29, on a large bobsled holding fifteen people, when, in trying to avoid running into a vehicle, they were thrown into a ditch. Four of them were taken to the hospital, seriously injured, and the others were badly shaken up. Fischer & McGrath, of New Castle, Pa., report trade as being excellent. They have tad a large run on funeral work. Mr. Fischer's residence was slightly damaged by fire January 26, but the fire department promptly ex- tinguished the blaze. J. W. Glenn, of Kittanning, Pa., will increase the size of his store by build- ing an addition in the rear and will make other changes that will greatly improve its appearance. The Pittsburgh representatives at the carnation convention returned home January 30, well pleased with the con- vention, and they report having had a good time. Clarke. INDIANA FLORISTS MEET. Guests of the Domers at La Fayette. The State Florists' Association of In- diana held its regular monthly meeting, February 2, in La Fayette, inspecting the establishment of F. Dorner & Sons Co. The delegation was met at the station and rolled out to the green- houses in taxicabs. The carnation range, with its houses devoted to this year's introductions and seedlings, was certainly a sight to behold. The house of Good Cheer is all that the name implies, being a veritable sea of buds; it surely will prove a money-maker. Pink Sensation took everybody's eye. Blooms of this variety will easily bring $2 per dozen during the winter season in any good-sized^ity. White Wonder, a leader in whites and introduced by this firm some years ago, showed up well. Seedlings of every color and habit of growth were in full bloom. The sight was bewildering. Among the seedlings was a bench of No. 271-10, a leather-petal ed medium pink; a tango red cross between Rosette and No. SI- OS, a deep cerise that looked red under ■Vv*",' .■•"',.'"■;;> ■'•'■' ,.<>■■ February 4, 1915.

The propagating houses were as clean as a new pin. In fact, the whole place looked as polished as the gold star on the breast of Theo. Dorner, who is head of the La Fayette police force. The rose range had been entirely rebuilt since the occasion of the last visit, and is of Moninger construction. Hoosier Beauty was the big attraction, although some fine pink seedlings held the eye. Fine grafted and own-root stock of Hoosier Beauty filled the benches and will be ready for shipment March 1. To supply La Fayette's retail demand, several houses are devoted to miscel- laneous stock. Gloire de Chatelaine be- gonia mado quite a hit with the visit- ors. F. E, Dorner said it is easy to handle and satisfies the customers, keeps well in the home and is a con- tinuous bloomer. A bench of winter- blooming antirrhinum seedlings were coming on, having been benched from 4-inch pots after the early mums were cut, and will be in full bloom for Easter, thus cutting two crops from the same space. In the workshop the visitors took out their pencils and made notes as to the method in which the tools and other florists' supplies are conveniently placed, all of which had been previously worked out and prominently exemplified the Dorner efficiency. The Business Session. The entire party was taken to the city and banqueted at the La Fayette Club, the entire house being at the dis- posal of the florists. After the lunch- eon, the business session was called to order by ex-President W, W. Coles, in the absence of W. J. Vesey, Jr. The increasing or decreasing popularity of the carnation was taken up and dis- cussed by Irwin Bertermann, Herman Junge, I. Rosnosky, W. W. Coles and Fred Dorner. An invitation to meet March 2 in Portland, Ind., was extended by W. Frank & Sons and was accepted. After the meeting adjourned the party visited the new retail store con- ducted by Miss Emily Dorner, whom the florists highly complimented for her efficient management and artistic ar- rangement of stock.

The city, hotels and flower stores were full of excitement last week be- cause of the many visiting florists at- tending the convention of the Amer- ican Carnation Society. There were the usual groups visiting the stores on tours of inspection, jolly greetings ac- companied by cordial shakings of hands, renewing old acquaintances and mak- ing new ones. AH stores were made to look their prettiest for the visitors. There is an abundance of all kinds of stock, including roses, carnations, sweet peas, lilies, orchids and valley; also such bulbous stock as narcissi, tulips and daffodils. Forget-me-nots, freesias, pansies, single violets, yellow daisies, stevia, cornflower, mignonette and snapdragon are to be had. Excellent white lilac and azaleas were seen. There is an abundance of all kinds of flowering plants. Various Notes. The downtown florists had special window displays during the convention, which were interesting by way of con- trast. The branch store of W. J. Pal- mer & Son had a handsome window of carnations and sweet peas in separate vases, with a background of azaleas. The Lenox Flower Shop used large vases of carnations with baskets of gardenias and assorted flowers. J. Ben- son Stafford had an artistic display of spring flowers. S. A. Anderson had an elaborate window of French baskets filled with growing plants of azaleas, tulips, hyacinths, etc., with white lilac in full bloom forming "a background. Huge cornucopias of daffodils were hung at frequent intervals. At the Rebstock branch, Dutch and colonial bouquets formed the main feature. Charles Felton deserves a great deal of credit for the designing of the deco- rations for the banquet of the Amer- ican Carnation Society. Vice-president S. A. Anderson worked hard for the success of the convention and banquet, and the result was most gratifying. Having the ladies present added a great deal to the pleasure of the company. E. C. A.

Thb carnation convention demonstrated that all the numerous coddlers of new flesh pink varieties have cut out quite a task for themselves in beating Pink De- Ught. Growers of cut flowers for the whole- sale markets will not build many green- houses this season, but the country flo- rists, especially in the middle west, will keep right on building the same as usual. Trade in the grain states never was bet- ter than now. Now that Christmas is far enough in the past to give the right perspective, it seems clear cut flowers did not suffer any more than did begonias. A great many stores refused to handle begonias this Christmas, resulting in some of the growers getting badly stuck, but a great many more stores will pass them next season and a lot of growers will be care- ful not to overproduce. The trouble is the public expects too much of begonias. ONLY ONE BEQBET. In this year of off business there seems to be only one method of selling that is working as steadily as ever. It is the classified section of The Beview. Like this: Enclosed And check for $1.50 in payment for recent geranium ad In your paper. It did the work in quick time. We bad replies from Phila- delphia, Omaha, St. Joseph, Quincy, III., and a number of other places. In fact, we received about five tlmea as many order* aa we could flU before we could get you word to kill our ad. We have but one regret, and that Is the necessity of returning good money for want of plants. — Colorado City Floral Co., by E. L. Endl- cott, January 22. 1915. "You say you would rather sell plants than cut flowers at Christmas t Well, let me tell you I don't agree to that at all." The speaker was E. Wien- hoeber, who is one of Chicago's oldest retailers, one of the largest, and whose opinion frequently is sought and always is valued for its conservatism. "Let me tell you it was only the scarcity, high price and low quality of cut flowers that ^ave the plants their start. Now it will be different. The days of holiday high prices are over. And did you have more trouble with your cut flowers than with your plants at Christmas? How about the begonias and azaleas f People expect too much of plants and when we make them good on complaint we encourage them to ex- pect more. We can put $200 to $300 of cut flowers in our machine and de- liver on one trip. How about the big, bulky, hard-to-wrap plants? "We never sold so many cut flowers as this Christmas, but we shall sell more another time. All the trade needs is the assurance that good stock can be had at reasonable prices and the Christmas cut flower business will jump. You can't get $5 a dozen retail for roses in any great quantity, but put us in position to offer good Killarney at, say "$3, and we can sell a wonder- ful lot of them and would rather do it than sell plants." S. A. F. BOABD TO MEET. The board of directors of the Society of American Florists 'will hold its Len- ten meeting at the Hotel La Salle, in Chicago, early in March. It is the rule for the board to meet in the convention city, but at its last session, held in Au- gust, it was the consensus of opinion that it would be inadvisable to try to call the board to San Francisco. Chi- cago has been selected as the most con- venient point and the call will reach the members of the board within a few days. The meeting will be of unusual in- terest and importance for several rea- sons, but most of all for the fact that it will be the first one participated in by the representatives of the affiliated societiea Those who are entitled to votes are: The Junior ex-presldent — Theodore Wlrth, of Minneapolis. The president — Patrick Welch, of Boston. The vice-president — Daniel MacRorie, of San Francisco. The secretary — John Toung, of New York. The treasurer — Wm. F. Kasting, of Buffalo. The directors — A. F. Poehlmann, Morton Grove, III.; Thomas Roland, Nahant, Mass.; J. J. Hess, Omaha, Neb.; J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati; Wm. K. Nicholson, Framlngham, Mass.; R. C. Kerr, Hous- ton, Tex. The president of the American Rose Society — Wallace R. Plerson, Cromwell, Conn. The president of the American Carnation So- ciety— Samuel J. Goddard, Framlnpham, Mass. The president of the Florists' Telegraph Deliv- ery— Irwln Bertermann, Indianapolis, Ind. The president of the Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club— H. H. Bartsch, Waverley, Mass. The president of the New York Florists' Club- Harry A. Bunyard, New Y<»k. The president of the Philadelphia Florists' Club — George Burton, Chestnut Hill, Pa. By action of the society, Wm. F. Gude, Washington representative of the organization, also is entitled to mileage to attend the meeting. Since the above was in type Secre- tary Young has sent out the following notice: "President Patrick Welch has issued a call for the meeting of the board of directors at the La Salle hotel, Chicago, 111., Monday, March 1, at 10 a. m." The traveling commission man, above all others, needs a lamp to guide him to the best opportunities, and is therefore a good judge of lighting sys- tems, metaphorically speaking. So many florists use The Review as their individual lamp to light up their road to business success that an advertiser who puts his offer in the paper steps into a veritable limelight. The strength of the illumination is what the following tries to express: I am surely well pleased with your valued pub- lication. It is a lamp unto my feet. It enables the tourist merchant and wayfarer to locate by intuition the object of bis pursuit. It Is the meat and marrow, the backbone and right arm of the profession. I certainly ought to know, hav- ing lived mostly on percentage since I subscribed for it.— C. F. Blair, Wichita Falls, Tex., Jan- uary 23, 1915. HONORABLE MENTION. Not a few subscribers save them- selves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Eeview $2, $3, or some- times $5, instead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-two visits of the paper.

Last week busi- ness was excellent; demand was suffi- ciently brisk to clean up stock in nearly all lines and the week's total for most of the wholesale houses was the best of the season to date, excepting Christ- mas week, of course. Then came a day of snow, two of rain and a cheer- less ground-hog day. The weather con- ditions were such as always result in diminishing demand; so bad a Sunday as the last day of January invariably means an inactive market Monday. Shipping trade this week is again the backbone of the market. Even shipping trade has fallen off, but not nearly so much as the city business. The general opinion is that it is primarily the result of the bad weather, and that supplies of stock have not increased enough to account in any large part for the change in the situation. It is expected that the market will revive with the return of good shopping weather. Rose crops are coming on again. The increase in supply is not yet great, but the worst of the scarcity is over; the shortage was only of a few days' dura- tion this year. Short roses continue scarce and difficult to locate, but there are enough long, fancy roses to meet the demand. The fact is that even the best stores are reluctant to pay more than 8 cents for any considerable part of their day's purchases; they want roses at 4 cents to 6 cents and buy lightly of the higher grades. In general the qual- ity of the roses is excellent. Beauties rr^ - -fc - ::-» Fbbbuabt 4, 1915. The Florists' Review 23 VIOLETS FOR ST. VALENTINE'S DAY CORSAGES February 14, especially now prices.

The general easing of the market has resulted in a relapse in carnation prices. The supply is adequate for all require- ments except those of the man who wants to buy just a little cheaper than he did yesterday — he can accomplish his purpose, but it requires some leg- work. Violets are extremely abundant and in light demand. Cattleyas continue plentiful. There is more valley than the market requires. The week has seen a large increase in the supply of jonquils and daflfodila have become fairly plentiful. Tulips also are much more abundant and the lower qualities are selling cheaply. It is a fact, how- ever, that bulbous stock has sold unusu- ally well and at excellent prices thus far this season. Freesia has had a spe- cially good run. Paper Whites are an exception; they are diflBcult to move. Romans are more abundant than hereto- fore. Sweet peas are coming in more heav- ily than at any previous date this sea- son. This has become the favorite cor- sage flower and the good Spencers, even if on quite short stems, are selling well. The green goods market shows no new feature. There is an abundance of everything on the list. Belle Washburn's Debut. The reception given Carnation Belle Washburn at Buffalo, where it won the S. A. F. silver medal, has decided Bas- sett & Washburn to disseminate the variety January 1, 1916. C.-L. Wash- burn says he believes this variety is the forerunner of a new type of carnation, one that will not have to be replanted each season. The flowers shown at Buffalo were cut from plants now in their second year. The firm reports that the variety gives twenty-five per cent more flowers the second year than GREENHOUSE WINDSTORM INSURANCE FLOKIAN D. ^WALLACE EiMNCl SERVl insurance exchange building Chicago are had the first season, and the quality also is better. Bassett & Washburn are asking for bids on the erection of five more green- houses at the Greggs Station range. These houses are to be 28 x 300 and are to be rushed for early planting to roses. The plan is then to put up five more houses of the same size for autumn planting to carnations. The Greggs and Hinsdale ranges now are of about equal size, but the Hinsdale plant will grow steadily smaller as the old houses are vacated and demolished. Various Notes. The quartette laid up last week by carbuncles and other similar affections are again on duty, except C. W. McKel- lar. John Poehlmann wears a neat patch covering one cheek, but A. L. Vaughan and T.

The only white rose planted next season will be Double White Kil- larney. Until recently the A. L. Eandall Co. has had its supply department divided in sub-departments, a man in charge of sales on each important item or group of items. Recently, however, each de- partment man was given a certain ter- ritory in which to handle sales on all lines. The new plan has been working long enough to indicate that it is a decided improvement, calculated to con- siderably increase the sales as each man becomes acquainted with the indi- vidual needs of the buyers in his terri- tory. So much opprobrium has been heaped on the Hadley rose that it is pleasant to hear John Poehlmann say his com- pany is well enough pleased with the variety so that the planting will be in- creased next season.

The trade was strongly represented in Referee Eastman's Bankruptcy court in the Monadnock block February 1, when inquiry into the case of the H. A. Fisher Co., of Kalamazoo, was begun.

Reports from the wholesale and re- tail trade appear to be quite satisfac- tory. Business has been good and prices on cut flowers have advanced over those of last week, except on the better grade of roses, which are plen- tiful. There is a scarcity of short and medium roses and the wholesalers find it hard to fill orflers for these grades. The quality of the roses is better than usual for this time of the year. Fu- neral work is responsible for the short- ago of lower grade roses. Carnations are coming in somewhat heavily, but are well taken care of at fair prices. «r^T^^^.' - Fdbbdabt 4, 1015.

Taken all in all, the beginning of the shortest month of the year finds a slightly larger supply of carnations and of roses. Carnations especially have been an important factor in the week's trading. All good flowers have brought from $30 to $40 per thousand, selling much more rapidly than did a smaller number in the week before. The price is not so good as for the corresponding week of last year, but, general busi- ness conditions considered, it is quite as good as could fairly be expected. Roses have shared in the demand to a lesser degree at about the same prices as last week, the only difference being that the shorter grades of roses are decidedly preferred to the longer, which keeps prices down. There is an improvement in sight in the orchid market; the supply of cat- tleyas promises to fall nearer to the demand than it has for a long time past. Violets continue to sell at ex- ■ tremely low prices. Gardenias seem to have waned in favor. Easter lilies are scarcer and higher in price. Forget- me-nots and wallflowers have arrived.

Smilax has been in demand for the balls. Of the spring flowers, Golden Spur, freesia and the best of the sweet peas have fared pretty well, but tulips go slowly and Paper Whites are still awfully cheap. Prices generally are lower by at least fifteen per cent on all varieties of flow- ers than they were at this time last season.

Then there is the added pleasure of seeing a quan- tity of such delicately graceful palms in all sizes, from the fernery filler to the specimen. Then again, it is some- thing to know that nowhere else in the wide, wide world can you see such another lot. Think of it! No need of going to Patagonia or even to the Isthmus of Panama; you can just go to Riverton and see the largest stock of cocos in the world today. The thing that is especially fascinating about the cocos range is the prevalence of the "Eeserved" label. This label al- ways appears on perfect stock, no mat- ter in what size. It means that speci- mens, perfect specimens, can only be Diade by growing on perfect plants and not by taking leftovers, if there are any for that purpose. This is why the plants look so wonderfully well when they reach the pedestal stage; this and of course the skillful culture that car- ries them through every stage of growth. Various Notes. Samuel S. Pennock believes that de- spite the unsatisfactory Christmas con- ditions, the season will be a fair one. Herbert W. Johnson, Jr., lost his Mercer car by fire at Haddonfield, N, J., this week. Edward Eeid paid a flying visit south as far as Norfolk, returning January 28. Mr. Eeid says the new store of Blick Florist, on Granby street, Nor- folk, is the peer of any flower store in the country. J. J. Habermehl's Sons arranged unusually elaborate decorations for the Assembly ball at the Bellevue-Strat- ford January 29. Pink Lilium magnifi- cum was freely used, together with much smilax and many plants. Eobert Q. Shoch returned from the south last week, filled with admiration for the plucky way in which the south- ern florists are meeting and overcom- ing the adverse conditions that have prevailed there. The M. Eice Co. is working overtime to get out the St. Valentine's day orders. The officers of the Ketail Florists' Association elected at the January 36 The Florists^ Review Febhuaby 4, 1915.

There is also a good stock of plants, which are selling fairly well. It is an agreeable surprise to note the way Primula malacoides is selling this year.

Following the entertainment a collation was served, after which dancing was enjoyed to the strains of Combie's orchestra until the small hours. Everyone present voted the oc- casion a most delightful one. Exhibits are not looked for at the January meeting, but Edward Winkler had a nice vase of Carnation Morning Glow, F. W. Fletcher had his splendid strain of freesia and the T. J. Grey Co. had a fine dish of mushrooms from its special spawn. Various Notes. P. J. Van Baarda, the popular repre- sentative of Joseph Breck & Sons Co., is convalescing nicely from an opera- tion for appendicitis performed at the Boston Homeopathic hospital. W. H. Ward, of Montvale, is sending in as fine Freesia Purity as I have seen this season. His myosotis also is ex- cellent. Among carnations he is grow- ing Pink Delight, White Wonder, White Enchantress, Rosette, Beacon and Benora and all are of fine quality.

He is in his seventy-fourth year, but would pass for twenty years younger. The death of Charles W. Parker, of Marblehead, January 23 in his eighty- fourth year, removed one of our grand old men of horticulture. He had been a prominent member of the Massachu- setts Horticultural Society for twenty- five years and served as president for two years. The society is fortunate in securing a splendid portrait of him for its gallery of presidents. Albert Batley & Son, of Maynard, in addition to carnations, are sending a splendid lot of callas to market. Harry Quint has opened. his fine new store at the Hotel Brunswick and is well pleased with business. The Fottler, Fiske, Kawson Co. has an attractive display of bulbous flowers in pans in its windows. Business in seeds is well ahead of a year ago. In a preliminary announcement the local S. A. F. reception committee re- ports a surplus of $800 and is wonder- ing what to do with it. Better put it in the bank at interest and use it for suitable entertainment when the next S. A. F. national show comes here. The T. J. Grey Co. reports seed busi- ness as starting up nicely. There has been a strong call for cold storage valley and mushroom spawn. F. W. Fletcher, of Auburndale, has had many visitors the last ten days, to see his splendid display of freesias, of which he has a special and carefully selected strain, larger and purer than Purity and the finest commercial freesia I have seen. He has over 100,000 bulbs planted out. A large portion are now blooming and are worth a long iourney SCHRAMM BROS.

I hope the local growers will rise to the occasion and take some of the enthusiasm of their carnation brethren. W. N. C. Writa, WIra ardara ta ST. LOUIS. The Market. The wholesale market handled a big trade last week, A shortage of stock caused a scramble among the retailers and the market was cleaned up often. The cold weather slackened up transient trade. There was a considerable busi- ness done in funeral work, but outside of this there was nothing rushing at the retail stores. All the local growers seem to be off crop in roses and carnations, as the supply on some days does not equal the demand. January 28 some of the consignments came in frozen. Sweet peas and violets are abundant and bring fair prices. Orchid-flowering sweet peas have the call. Violets, too, meet with a fair demand. Roses are extremely scarce; the demand greatly exceeds the supply. Carnations are not quite so scarce as the roses, but were cleaned out frequently. Bulbous stock is coming in heavily. Paper "Whites, f reesias, jonquils, valley. Von Sions and lilies are meeting with a good demand. Greens are plentiful and in demand. Various Notes. The Florists* Club's dance, which took place in Westminster hall, Jan- uary 27, was not the big success that was expected, as the extremely cold weather kept many from attending. About fifty couples braved the weather and all had a splendid time. Joseph Wideck, the well known west end retailer, reports that the stork paid him a visit recently and left a line baby girl, who was received with great joy.

Mar'fin Eeukauf, representing H. Bay- ersdorf er & Co., Philadelphia, were vis- itors last week. Mr. Keukauf displayed a fine lot of samples at the Hotel Jef- ferson. Joseph Haemmerl, the Marcus avenue florist, is supplying the local trade with fine blooming plants. His cyclamens and primulas are of specially fine qual- ity. C. Young & Sons Co. furnished the decorations for the annual ball of the Imperial Club, January 29. This is one of the social events of the year. Sev- eral thousand carnations were used in the decorations. Beauties, also, were used in profusion. Vincent and Frank Gorly have been doing the buying in the wholesale dis- trict of late. On some days Marion Uhlschmidt, manager of the east side branch, is also needed. The reason for this, Vincent says, is that three of a kind are hard to beat. The midwinter school graduation ex- ercises, which took place last week, caused a good demand for flowers. Some of the west end and downtown retailers report a busy day for this occasion. The Metropolitan Floral Co., accord- ing to Alex. Geranios, head of the com- pany, has outgrown its present quarters. They are planning to enlarge their pres- ent quarters in the coming summer by taking part of a neighbor 's store. William Bouche, landscape gardener at 6621 Kingsbury boulevard, says he has a busy season before him, as ad- vance orders will keep him busy until late in spring. The Robert Thomson Co., the local firm of greenhouse builders, has con- tracted for a number of new houses and the rebuilding of old houses among the county florists. Work on these will begin early in spring. Local wholesale florists say they will be well supplied with extra violets for St. Valentine's day, as their consign- ors are now in full crop. Advance or- ders for this day are already large. The St. Louis Florists ' Club will hold a most important meeting February 11.

Young, Jr., who has charge of the west end branch store of C. Young & Sons Co., will be married February 9. The name of the lucky young lady could not be learned. J. J. Karins, representing H. A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia, Pa., came here February 1 to spend a few days with the trade. William Vogel, assistant to Oscar Kuehn, at Smith's wire shop, is back at his post. He had a long spell of sick- ness, but is looking none the worse for it. Mrs. Young, wife of Charles Young, of C. Young & Sons Co., was taken to the Deaconess hospital for an opera- tion, which was successful. Mr. Young informs us that Mrs. Young is doing finely. The news came over the wire Jan- uary 28, from J. F. Ammann, the St. Louis Florists' Club's delegate to the American Carnation Society's conven- tion at Buffalo, that St. Louis was se- lected as the next meeting place of the society. Mr. Ammann was elected vice- president. This news was received with great rejoicing by the members of the Florists' Club. Mr. Ammann will tell the club at the next meeting all that occurred at the Buffalo gathering and how the next convention of the Carna- tion Society was secured for St. Louis. J. J. B. WASHINGTON, D.

The main dif- ficulty is in getting a sufBcient quan- tity of roses and carnations, as thes^ flowers are decidedly off crop. There has been quite a call for locally grown American Beauty roses, but these are dwindling in number and the quality is falling off rapidly. The best evidence of the shortage in the carnation crop is the fact that a large quantity of these are finding their way into the market before they have had an opportunity to develop fully. Snap- dragon also is quite scarce. Other flowers are overplentiful. Fine sweet peas, even of the Spencer varieties, go begging at as low as $5 per thousand. No one seems to want narcissi and quantities are thrown away. There are so many violets that . the street men are kept well supplied, and jonquils, lilacs, mignonette, and now tulips keep the market pretty well filled up. Various Notes. Robert Shoch, who covers this ter- ritory for the M. Rice Co., Philadelphia, visited the stores last week. Edward S. Schmid has been confined to his home for the last ten days, suf- fering from a severe case of the grip. C. L. L. STEAMEB SAILINGS.

Word from Ollioules leads to the be- lief that the 1916 crop of Eomans will not be smaller than in recent years. I. S. Hendrickson, representing John Lewis Childs, has returned to Floral Park after a swing around the circuit of larger cities as far west as Chicago, call- ing on large buyers of gladiolus bulbs. Of Chicago seedsmen, S. F. Leonard and John C. Leonard, of the Leonard Seed Co., and Arnold Ringier, of the W. W. Barnard Co., will be in New York next week, attending the canners' convention. The Interstate Commerce Commission has directed the Southern Pacific rail- road to refund $5.75 to the C. C. Morse Co., San Francisco, on account of over- charges on seeds shipped from San Fran- cisco to Oklahoma. Oke of a series of leaflets on culture published by W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, contains "The Story and Culture of the Red Sunflower," by Wil- matte P. Cockerell, of Boulder, Colo., originator of the variety. One result of the conflict in Europe will be to encourage other countries to increase their production of seeds here- tofore principally obtained from Ger- many, with the effect, no doubt, of turn- ing a larger part of the German crop to America. E. L. Page, president of the Page Seed Co., Greene, N. Y., has purchased the entire business established in 1852 by the Henry Philipps Seed & Imple- ment Co., which, owing to financial diffi- culties, was obliged to make an assign- ment. A new company will be organ- ized with a capital stock of $50,000 and the business carried on under the name of Page-Philipps Seed Co. In their joint report to Congress on the ocean freights situation, Secretaries McAdoo and Redfield quoted a letter from H. Frank Darrow, of New York, stating that in his exportation of grass seed he was compelled this year to pay $1.50 per hundred pounds, while in for- mer years he paid from 35 to 50 cents per hundred pounds, on the French line, sailing from New York to Havre. Gladiolus bulb market — there is none, according to some of the large producers, and it is about the same way with canna roots. Of course there is some small business going on, but the buyers of quantities to sell again are holding off.

SCHWAKE & CO., Inc., 90-92 WMt Draa^way, PKVr YOBK Mention The Berlew wbea scares them off, fearing the lack of sta- bility will result in loss of profit. It seems likely the reports of damage to valley pips en route via Eotterdam are exaggerated; if the losses were as large as some of the tales one hears they would be serious. Ealph M. Ward, New York, was in Chicago last week, headed for the Pa- cific coast. He says lily bulbs are selling better than ever, present prices encour- aging the trade to take hold. Foe the man who knows what he wants, illustrations and descriptions are not necessary, while price lists are meaning- less to the planter who does not know the game. So the catalogue writer tries to play both ends. True, the average seed stock and cata- logue contain twice as many varieties as are desirable, but with others offering them what is a seed seller to do? Can the list be cut down without a combina- tion in restraint of trade? The German seed growers are making shipments almost as large as though nothing had happened. Neither Erfurt nor Quedlinburg is anywhere near the war zone and the German system of saving everything of value has led to careful husbanding of all seed crops. There are delays in transportation by both routes. BECEIFTS OF VALLEY PIPS. The steamer Kyndam, from Eotter- dam, which arrived at New York Janu- ary 27, brought a consignment of 142 cases of valley pips for McHutchison & Co. On the following day the Som- melsdyk, from the same port, brought 684 cases for C. F. Meyer, Inc., and the Oscar II, from Christiansand, 599 cases for Maltus & Ware, making a total of 1,425 cases. Added to the 7,566 cases previously received, this makes the total to date 8,991 cases. WHY PEAS AEE PLENTY. Months ago it was reported in this column that canners were not buying peas; that the seedsmen who cater to this special demand were having trou- ble finding buyers for spot peas and a great deal of difficulty in arousing in- terest in futures. Of course the situa- tion was the direct result of the prac- tically full deliveries made on 1914 growing contracts, although there was some talk of canners' discouragement due to having a large part of the sea- son's pack still on hand. It has de- veloped that the pea pack in 1914 was smaller than in 1913 and that there is an actual scarcity of the finest grades, the surplus being the grades that al- ways constitute too large a part of the pack. It can not be, therefore, that the canners are preparing to cut down their output to any appreciable extent in 1915. We must look elsewhere for the reason for their lack of interest in peas for seed.

The result was that nearly all canners received more peas than they need for 1915; some half again as many; some ■enough also for 1916. And therein lies the discouragement for the seedsmen; there surely will come a change some day, but it probably will take either a short crop or some little time for the l)usiness in canners' peas to get back •on its previous basis. MORE HOLLAND BULBS. On the steamer Eyndam, from Rotter- dam, which reached New York January 27, were several consignments of Dutch bulbs, all of but few cases, and on the following day the Sommelsdyk, from the same port, brought another small ■consignment. At a date when, in pre- vious years, all shipments of Holland bulbs were at an end, they are this :season dribbling along and, though but 3, few each week, are making a total far above all previous seasons.

Morse, president of the American Sweet Pea Society, has been advised by James A. Barr, director of •congresses at the Panama-Pacific in- ternational exposition, that June 4, 1915, the date of the society's Pacific •coast exhibition, at the exposition grounds, has been officially designated as American Sweet Pea Society day by the department of special events of the exposition. THE FIGHT AGAINST FREE SEEDS. Eepresentative Young, of North Dakota, led the annual futile attack ■on the congressional free seed distri- bution appropriation in the agricultural appropriation bill. During the general debate on the bill Mr. Young made a speech advocating the abolition of the ■distribution on the ground that it was tiseless, as the farmers could buy the same kind of seeds at the country store. He advocated instead the distribution of new and rare valuable seeds. Mr. Young pointed out that it cost $252,- ■000 yearly to send out the free seeds. He referred to reports of recent secre- taries of agriculture for a number of yeara recommending its discontinuance, but noted that he did not find the rec- ommendation in the report of the secre- tary this year. "That may be," said Young, "that he has ceased to have any hope or faith that Congress will ■ever discontinue the distribution of garden and flower seeds." "Do I understand you to say that this money is thrown away?" asked Eep. La Follette, of "Washington. * ' Does not the gentleman think it brings the government a little closer to thousands of people who otherwise would not real- ize that the government is doing any- thing for them?

The money- would be more wisely spent if the dis- tribution wag confined to new and rartj. seeds, "Does the man receiving the seed think they come from the government 66 The Florists' Review Febbdabx 4, 1916. or from the congressman whose name is on the package!" asked Eepresenta- tive Flatt, of New York. Mr. Young said the receipt of a small package of seeds does not excite a man much. Seeds would not inspire a greater devo- tion to his country. On the contrary, the thoughtful citizen is apt to con- sider it an unnecessary and unwise ex- penditure. Representative La FoUette asked if the distribution by congressmen was not politically a liability instead of an asset? Young said it was a liability. Mr. Young said an increasing number of men in his district were considering the distribution either a waste of money or a senseless proceeding viewed from the standpoint of its being a sub- stantial aid to agriculture. He said he would vote against the item in the bill carrying any appropriation for the free seed distribution but would vote for the distribution of new and rare seeds. "It is time to lay hands on this venerable impostor, this miserable farce and costly humbug," said Mr. Young in closing. Representative Page, of North Caro- lina, moved to strike out the appropria- tion, but the motion was lost, 29 to 66. P. BIGK^EST SPINACH FLANTEB. The first shipment of the season of spinach from the farm of the Walker Properties Association, of Austin, Tex., was started north early in January and the event was fittingly celebrated with a banquet. The shipment consisted of a full carload and was valued at $1,200. This car was the first of fully 200 which it is expected will be sent during the season, as compared with 107 carloads last season. Within a week two and three carloads will go out in a shipment. The Walker spinach farm is the largest of its kind in the coXintry and its product finds a ready market in northern cities. The present price is from $4 to $7 a barrel. For the coming year over 5,000,000 cans of spinach have already been contracted for from the Walker packing plant. CATALOGUES RECEIVED. O. B.

Every article has a value; we will agree to that. The question is how to get it. It costs so much to grow a plant or a flower. You have to grow so many plants in a given space or cut so many flowers off plants grown in a certain space, to get the proper returns from it. It takes so much coal to heat that space, so much labor to care for it; there is so much money invested in it. If we would get our business on a standard basis, so that we could tell by glancing at our books whether we had made a dollar or lost one, we would all be better off. The flo- rist who figures out all these details is the most successful one today. Taking inventory is a thing that I dare say not one out of twelve florists does. Why not? How can a florist tell where he is at if he does not? , Sup- pose the bank should want a statement; he would say, "Well, I have so-and-so; my greenhouses and my land are so- and-so." Extremely intelligent! He ought to be able to say, "Yes, sir, I will have it here in a short time. I can get it off my books, for I have everything at my finger-tips, exactly what I have in stock. ' ' I would like to ask a few of the florists present what their returns were for the last year per square foot of glass, but I am not going to, for I am afraid they would hesitate to tell me. Or should I say that they could not answer me in- telligently? Utica, N.

Springfield, Mass., was selected as the meeting place for next year's conven- tion. Uve Sessions. There were some excellent papers presented, which created discussion of still greater interest and value. Harlan P. Kelsey, of Salem, Mass., assailed the practice of burning surplus nursery stock, upheld by W. W. McCartney, treasurer of the Elm City Nursery Co., Woodmont, Conn., in his address on ^'Effects of the European War on Nurs- ery Business." "That is the worst economic blunder that has ever been made in the world, ' * said Mr. Kelsey. "In every other line of wholesale and retail business there are sales of surplus stock at cheap rates. There are too many people in the soup line to burn anything that is produced. Create a market for the stock. You can sell shrubbery stock to poor people at low prices, people to whom you would not sell otherwise, and, consequently, you do not curtail your market." Considerable diversity of opinion was expressed on the subject. Mr. McCart- ney maintained that nursery stock was more permanent than most other stocks, and the market was thus less elastic than for many lines of goods. Others expressed the opinion that a love for plants ought to be created and intensi- fied and that when this is done the sur- plus stock would be taken care of. A. E. Robinson, of Lexington, Mass., seconded Mr. Kelsey, saying that not enough ornamental shrubbery was be- ing produced to burn it up, and that a love for shrubbery could be created in this country, a love which already ex- ists in Europe.

Because of the danger to American nursery stock, a public hearing was held February 2 at the Department of Agriculture at Washington to discuss a proposed quarantine on the importa- tion of all pines from Europe. During the last year imported pines have been found to be infested with the European pine-shoot moth. In Europe this is one of the principal insect enemies of pines and is especially destructive in nur- series, young forests and ornamental plantations. It kills or injures the young twig growth and deforms the tree to a serious extent. In this country the insect seems to be still confined to the European pines in Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsyl- vania, Ehode Island and West Virginia. Strenuous efforts are already being made to stamp it out, and it is be- lieved that these will be successful if no further importations of infested stock are permitted. The white pine blister rust has al- ready resulted in the exclusion of all 5-leaved pines from Europe and Asia.

Soil Disinfection Recommended. Commercial sulphuric acid has been found by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture to be an effective remedy for the loss of pine and spruce seedlings from damping off. It is quite common for the soft tissues of these young seedlings to decay so rapidly soon after sprouting that they some- times disappear before the nurseryman knows that there is anything the mat- ter with them. So common, indeed, is loss from this source that many nurs- erymen import their seedling stock from Europe. This, however, is not only troublesome, but dangerous. The white pine blister, rust has already been in- troduced into this country in this way, and continued importations of seedlings are certain to result in the establish- ment in the United States of other foreign pests. For this reason the department at- taches much importance to the recent Bobbink & Atkins NURSKRYMKN, FLOMSTS and PLANTERS RUTHERrORD, NEW JERSEY Mention The Bevlcw when yon writ*.

Box 782 Mention The Review when yon write. investigations of possible disinfecting agents which will rid the soil of the parasitic fungi which cause damping off. Of these agents the most satisfac- tory for commercial use in the major- ity of cases has been found to be sul- phuric acid. Treatment with this acid not only reduces losses from damping off but increases germination. The number of seedlings in treated beds may be from one and one-quarter to ten or even twenty times as great as in untreated beds, depending on how serious the disease is in the un- treated beds. At most nurseries, more- over, the treatment also decreases the number of weeds and causes the pines to make a better growth during their first season. At one nursery, jack-pine seedlings have grown three times as 76 The Florists' Review Fbbbuabt 4, 1918. MRS. C. W. WARD AS A BREAD-AND-BUTTER VARIETY What Mr. Fritz Bahr, the famous writer of "The Week's Work," in the Florists' Exchange of January 9, 1915, says about this variety : J " With a good many of the retail growers, throughout the middle west in particular, the great merits of Carna- tion Mrs. C. W. Ward have just been recognized and appreciated. It is one of the best of its color that we We have 40,000 cuttings of this variety ready For other varieties see Classified list in this paper. J. D. THOMPSON CARNATION CO. have today. Every retail grower should provide room for at least a few, and fairly well grown stock will sell at a higher price than any other of the standard- sorts on a glutted market." $2.60 per 100; $80.00 per 1000 All stock guaranteed. - - JOLIET, ILLINOIS Mention The RcTlew when yon write. high in acid-treated beds as in un- treated beds. The treatment is not expensive, for commercial sulphuric acid can be pur- chased in quantity at low rates. At one nursery where careful accounts were kept it was found that the entire cost of the treatment, including labor, materials and extra waterings, was less than $5 per thousand square feet of bed. On the other hand, the saving in the cost of weeding alone, which the treatment made possible, amounted to $5.30 per thousand square feet. Application of Acid. The sulphuric acid is dissolved in water and applied to the beds with a paraffin-coated sprinkler just after the seed is sown and covered. From one- eighth to three-eighths of a fluid ounce of acid should be used per square foot of bed, dissolved in enough water to make one and one-half or two pints of solution. At some nurseries it is also necessary to water the beds once or twice daily during the germination period to prevent chemical injury to the seedlings. Individual conditions, however, must determine for each nur- sery whether or not this frequent watering is necessary and exactly how much acid should be used per square foot of bed, Sulphuric acid is now in regular use on the seed beds at nurseries in four western states, Nebraska, Kansas, Colo- rado and New Mexico. Considerable quantities of carbonates, however, are contained in some soils in these states, their presence being indicated by vig- orous effervescence or bubbling when a strong solution of acid is applied. Where this is the case sulphuric acid is not likely to be effective. In one nursery in Kansas zinc chloride and copper sulphate have been found satisfactory substitutes when used in the same way as sulphuric acid. For zinc chloride one-half ounce avoir- dupois is used per square foot; and for copper sulphate three-eighths of an ounce or less. The chloride is less apt to injure seedlings, but is more ex- pensive than the copper sulphate. Despite its greater cost, however, it is possible that the zinc chloride may be preferred both to sulphuric acid and to copper sulphate even on soils which do not contain carbonate. In some northern nurseries where soil disinfection has not been resorted to, fall sowing has been found to control damping off fairly well. At all nur- MATCHIjESS was certainly a winner at the show. The claim of the orig- inator is being proved over and over again. It was ^'matchless" at the show and it will be "matchless" with the grower. MBS. WABD was shown in abundance and there was hardly a poor vase of it to be seen. This variety certainly improves with age. PHIIiADELPHIA — While beaten by Mrs. Ward on the show table, we think it was a pretty close rival and with the grower it is superior to Ward in many ways. ENCHANTBESS was there with about all her family. She is still looking well; and all her offspring, excepting Kose, appeared in very good con- dition. She thinks that even if she has to take back seat on the ex- hibition table, she is still ' ' dear to the hearts ' ' of many a grower and finds much satisfaction in that. WHITE WONDEB was shown in excellent shape and many growers will have nothing else, but our experience with it proves it less profitable than White Enchantress. CHAMPION looked good at the show but Beacon was hard to beat. We hope Champion will prove a better sort and easier to grow than Beacon. FINK DELIGHT and QLOBIOSA if they did not have such poor reputations among the growers(?) It is certainly evident that some growers can do them and do them well. GOBGEOUS and DAGMAB Oh my!

In the Sweepstakes in Class A, it defeated thirty- eight vases of all varieties. In the white, the only two vases of MATCHLESS were placed first and second. Thus it is again con- clusively proved that in quality, size and fragrance, MATCHLESS tops them all. AND BESIDES THIS MATCHLESS will produce more than any Carnation of its color, will bloom more continuously and keep better. It is absolutely non-bursting and the easiest carnation to grow in existence.

A slight improvement was noted in market conditions last week, helped out largely by the increased amount of fu- neral work, which has been well dis- tributed. While roses are generally off crop, there are plenty of carnations, narcissi, violets, freesias and other flowers. The season of cut prices in violets has set in and department stores and others are offering bunches of twenty-five for 15 cents. One of the features of the week was the exhibition of orchid plants in bloom in the windows of all of the larger downtown florists. They consisted mostly of eattleyas and were from the greenhouses of Edgar L. Nock, at Edgewood. They were fine plants and the display has caused quite a demand for orchid blooms. Varioiis Notes. The Florists' and Gardeners' Club had arranged to hold an installation of oflScers at the January meeting, but a complication of circumstances made it advisable to defer the ceremonies until the next meeting. Secretary Williarp E. Chappell read a historical sketch of the association, which was organized January 20, 1896. Alexander H. Johnson has been ap- pointed executor of the estate of George Johnson, with bonds of $20,000. The Flower Growers' Depot handled nearly 10,000 carnations January 30, at 36 cents per dozen. Large numbers of carnations were disposed of January 29, to be worn in honor of William McKinley. T. J, Johnston & Co. had the decora- tions for the annual ladies' night of Nestell lodge of Masons at the Ma- sonic Temple. The decorations for the Nicherson ball at the Churchill House last week were by O'Connor. Louis J. Renter, of Westerly, was, a business visitor to New York last week, George Stillman, of Westerly, is send- ing out his new catalogue on dahlias.

This week's story is practically a repetition of the last report. Eoses and carnations are still scarce. We have had several days of cloudy weather, which has, no doubt, shortened the cut. Beauties are scarce and it was neces- sary to substitute in some instances. The price on double violets has come down and singles can be bought cheaply, with few buyers. Lilies moved well during the week, at good prices. Paper Whites are still a glut and freesia is selling cheaply. Prices on roses and standard varieties of car- nations have gradually risen until at the present time they are up to the prices of last year, which is highly gratifying to the growers, as low prices have prevailed for so long a time some of them despaired of ever reaching the normal figure again. , Various Notes. The first Dutch hyacinths of the sea- son were seen in Samuel Feast & Sons' store last week. Walter R. Siebrecht, of New York, paid a visit last week ta Thomas Barker, manager of the Baltimore Cut Flower Co., which is the successor to the branch formerly operated in this city by the W. B. Siebrecht Co. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. William Lehr, of Brooklyn, will be sorry to learn of the death of their daughter, Elizabeth Louise, aged 7 years, January 29, of scarlet fever. The youngest child, about 2 years of age, was ill of membranous croup and its life was despaired of, so that Eliza- beth was brought to Baltimore, to Mrs. Lehr's mother's residence, where she was taken ill and died suddenly. The other child is recovering, although it was necessary to insert a tube into its throat and it is not yet out of danger. Harry J. Quick, is seriously ill at his home, Wedgecliff, with pneumonia and at the present time is in a dangerous condition. The poultry show held by J. Bolgiano & Son at their store closed January 30 and was a success in every respect, be- ing attended by many thousands of poultry fanciers from far and near. An admission fee of 10 cents was charged and donated to charity. John Rider is sending some good Oorgeous carnations to the Leo Neissen Co. iJ!t is nearly time for the election of officers for the ensuing year by the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, but as yet no candidates have been heard from. The next meetin_g will be held February 8. W. F. E. GEO. A. KUHL Wholesale Grower of Plants for the Trade PEKIN, - - - ILLINOIS Chrysanthemums MY SPECIALTY CHA8. H. TOTTY Madison, N. J.

FBANOIS SCOTT KEY This variety, raised by Mr. John Cook, is very distinct, being entirely different from any of the indoor roses grown today. Flowers are rosy red and are unusually large and double, resem- bling very much a very full, double, hardy garden rose. Coupled with its large size and double form, it is an ex- ceedingly free bloomer. It promises to be exceedingly valuable, especially for spring, summer and fall flowering, when other less double roses are . difficult, to handle. Its keeping qualities are re- markable. Strong plants on own roots, 2V4-incIi pots, now ready, $16.00 per 100, $120.00 per 1000. PRINCE E. C. D'ASENBEBG This variety might well have been termed a Bed Killarney, as it possesses so many of the good qualities of the Killarneys. In color the flowers are similar to Bichmond, but they are much more double, and it should prove a very much more profitable rose. Flow- ers have fine, straight stems on all the grades — from the shortest to the longest. It has fine foliage, comes away quickly and is even a freer bloomer than the Killarneys. We believe it is the best all-round red rose that we have today. Strong plants on own roots, 2V^-indi pots, now ready, $12.00 per 100, $90.00 per 1000.

Trade is keeping up nicely and, while stock is scarce in some lines, there is enough of something else that can be substituted. Carnations are a little scarce and they are cleaned up early as a rule. Quite a few splits are com- ing in, but they are used in funeral work. Beauties have been quite scarce. Other roses are fine, considering the cloudy weather we have had lately. Narcissi are plentiful enough to go the rounds. Komans have been in good demand and, while they were in good supply, they have been cleaned up for funeral work. Dutch hyacinths are making their appearance. Tulips are to be seen, but not in any great quan- tity. Sweet peas are more plentiful and find a ready sale. Violets are mov- ing nicely. Jonquils are scarce as yet, not nearly enough to go the rounds. Potted plants are moving well and among the best sellers are the prim- roses, cyclamens and azaleas. Various Notes. Fred'Bauman, who has been handling cut ferns, has leased a room on West Broad street and will handle cut flowers in addition to his other business. J. M. SCHENECTADY, N. Y. Florists Organizing. All the local florists were invited to attend a meeting at M. P. Champlin's, Wednesday, February 3, for the pur- pose of forming a social organization of members of the trade. This was the outcome of a social evening Janu- ary 2, when G. E. Kopper, proprietor of the Rosendale Nurseries and Flower Shop, entertained M. P. Champlin, Otto Selke, Wm. E. John, Henry Eberhardt, the manager of his store; George Mathews, his grower, and Walter Eber- hardt. The evening proved so enjoy- able and profitable that it was pro- posed on the spot that a florists' club be formed. From present prospects a successful organization is hoped for.

Can you state whether there is, any- where in the United States, a green- house that is heated with galvanized iron steam pipes and is getting good results from such pipes? This question is submitted by the head gardener of one of the large public institutions in Salt Lake City and he would appreciate an early reply. B. P. C, I am not able to cite specific cases where good results are obtained from radiation composed of galvanized iron pipe, and would say that it does not afford as effective heating surface as black pipe. The surface is not only smoother, hence furnishing a smaller amount of radiation than black pipe of the same size, but the covering given in galvanizing the pipes of itself does not «onyey or radiate heat as rapidly as black iron pipe. I have no exact fig- ures showing the relative radiation of the two classes of pipes, but a pipe coated with lampblack will radiate more than twice as much as tarnished lead and more than eight times as much as one of polished silver. From this it can be seen that galvanized pipe does not form eflScient radiation. BOILES CAFACITY ABOUT BIGHT. The boiler that I am using is thirty- six inches in diameter and ten feet long, with twenty-eight 3-inch tubes. The boiler is of the horizontal tubular type and the grate bars are 36x42 inches. Using ten pounds of steam, could I heat 8,000 square feet of glass to an average temperature of 62 de- grees in zero weather? "Would there be any surplus boiler capacity? I am returning the water to the boiler by means of a trap. I am located in east- central Ohio. I do not wish to crowd the boiler too much, as I do not think it pays to do so. T. E. F. C. The boiler described would rate at something above twenty horsepower, and at a maximum would heat about 2,000 square feet of radiation. To heat 8,000 square feet of glass to 62 de- grees in central Ohio, from 1,400 to 1,600 square feet of radiation should be used, according to the construction of the houses and the amount of ex- posure. While this leaves a small amount of surplus boiler capacity, which might be utilized by careful fir- ing, the results will be more satisfac- tory and the heating will be more eco- nomical in every way if no extra duty is placed on the boiler. BETTER USE 2y2-INCH FLOWS. We are putting up a greenhouse 31x80.

The Value of a Thermostat LET A FLORIST TELL IT TJERE is what a greenhouse man said in a letter to The Review: "The ^^ value of a thermostat in a greenhouse may possibly interest you, so I take the present opportunity of explaining its advantages. Three weeks ago I in- stalled a Standard thermostat, made by the Standard Thermometer Co., putting it in my rose house, 200 feet from the residence. After sundown each day I set the low contact hand at 57 degrees and the high contact hand at 65 degrees. The black temperature hand, to record 60 degrees, plays between these figures. Should the temperature rise or fall, the alarm bell, just over my bed, rings loudly. I consider this instrument a boon to any florist with a me- dium-sized range, for it dispenses with the services of a night fireman. With correct firing, I can keep a steady temperature of 60 degrees at night in the rose house and also in four other houses, in all about 5000 feet of glass.,"— Thomas E.

THE SYSTEM WITH Mi/oiehead M A PROVEN VALUE You'll find every progressive florist has some plan or other in mind for improving his greenhouses. And one of the most important features of any greenhouse is the steam system. That's why the moat progres- sive florists have install«i the Morehead System— the system that means perfect drainage- even temperature— condensation returned to the boiler above ground— in addition to numer- ous other advantages. But you will want the complete information. Our engineeis have enabled many a florist to increase his greenhouse efficiency where before he thought it wasn't possible. Let them help you.

If five flow pipes are used, the others should be under the purlins. About one-third of the returns should be on each of the walls and the others under the benches. CRUDE OIL AS FUEL. We have been considering the propo- sition of using crude oil as fuel for our boilers. Can you give us any in- formation as to the cost of oil for such a purpose, as compared with coal? Do you know of any greenhouse ranges that are successfully operated with oil as fuel. E. J. S. & S. When crude oil can be obtained at a price per barrel not to exceed one-half the cost per ton of a good grade of run-of-mine coal, it will be found an economical fuel, since we should also take into account the saving in the cost of firing and of handling the coal and ashes. Crude oil is quite exten- sively used for heating and power pur- poses. THBEE CALIFOBNIA HOUSES. Kindly give me some infohtjUktion about the piping of my greenhouses. I have three connected houses, each 25 xlOO, six feet high to the eaves and twelve feet to the ridge. The outside temperature in this part of California seldom falls lower than 35 degrees above zero and I want to keep the temperature of the houses at 50 de- grees. What size of hot water boiler would be needed? Would it be best to put the boiler in a pit? The houses are new and run east and west. D. E. P. Each of the houses can be heated by means of six 2-inch pipes. One may be placed upon each wall plate as a flow, and connected with two returns. I would use a boiler rated at about 2,000 square feet of radiation and would place it in a pit or cellar, so that it would be below the returns. If this cannot be readily done, a generator should be attached. Pittsfield, Mass. — Three parcels of land on Elm street on which mortgage deeds were given by Bichard C. and Paulina E.

FORT WAYNE, IND. The Market. The last week of January was char- acterized by cold, sunshiny days, which lent vigor to both the buying and grow- ing ends of the business. Sunday morn- ing, January 24, started with a run on funeral work, which continued through- out the week, combined with a demand for flowers for the sick and an abund- ance of decorative work for parties, receptions and dinners. Wholesale busi- ness also has been good, as out-of-town shipping is more than usually heavy. Floriculture is certainly holding its own here, for, notwithstanding the depres- sion in other lines of business, the ma- jority of florists are reporting a fine winter season. Bulbous stock is selling well, and azaleas and cyclamens are meeting with a good demand. Prices are good, both for plants and cut flow- ers. There is an abundance of all sea- sonable stock on the market, with spring flowers already taking the prece- dence. Various Notes. Miss Ehoda Doswell, of Geo. W. Dos- well & Son, entertained, January 27, a club of young women known as the Birthday Anniversary Club, at dinner in the English tea room. The decora- tions, which were attractive, were car- ried out in a great variety of flowers fashioned into English nosegays, which were given to the guests as favors. Among the many handsome floral of- ferings sent to the opening of the new Palace theater last week were baskets of Richmond roses, and tall basket vases of American Beauties and Lilium Harrisii, sent by the Auger Flower Shop, W. J. & M. S. Vesey, Doswell & Son and the Flick Floral Co. John D. Arentshorst, representing Baartman & Koning, bulb growers of Sassenheim, Holland, called on the trade last week and reported business in the United States as good. Other visitors during the week were: George Maunz, of Eeed & Keller, New York, and Sidney Bayersdorfer, of H. Bayers- dorfer & Co., Philadelphia.

The Market. ■ Snow every day last week, with the mercury hovering around zero, kept the florists busy in this vicinity, while the coal man was seen with a broad smile on his face. Trade is not what it might be, as there is little doing in any line except funeral work, of which all seem to have their share. Stock is not any too plentiful, except in the bulbous line. Boses are off crop. Carnations get cleaned up nicely; so do lilies, which are in good demand. Pot plants, such as primroses, cyclamens and azaleas, move well. Various Notes. The Heiss Co. reports that on some days business is rushing, but at other times there is little doing. The Miami Floral Co. reports business fair. Their roses are between crops. Geo. W. Frisch & Son, who have a stand in the market house, report busi- ness fair. They grow principally pot plants. The grip seems to have been severe on the florists in this city. Miss Katie Young, George Bartholomew, James Ewing, of the Miami Floral Co., and others are victims, but at present they are all on the road to recovery. Mrs. B. Hendrichs, formerly in busi- ness at 808 East Fifth street, has been confined to the house all winter. George W. Bartholomew had the mis- fortune to lose his delivery horse last week. G. W. B. The first annual floral and landscape gardening exposition of the Miami val- ley will be held in the Exposition build- ing, the old First Baptist church, on Main street between First and Second streets, in this city, March 1 to 6. W. Allen Barber, the manager, states that the enterprise has the indorsement of the local associations and the commer- cial organization, and that some space already has been engaged. The floor plans are ready and Mr, Barber will be pleased to forward, to anyone inter- ested, the plans and contracts for space. Dixon, HL — The Rosery Flower Shop, owned by C. O. Engle, has been moved from the Opera House block to the Beier building, on Hennepin avenue. ^^s BShen it Comes to Greenhouses Come to HITCHINGS and COMPANY Sn'l Offices Hi Fietinr ELIZABETH. N. J.

On page 1 are some general questions which may be filled out first, but in figuring the income, page 2 is the place to begin. The pages repro- duced herewith show how A. F. Lorist did it this year, using but one blank for himself and his wife. The $96 he received for contributing weekly news-letters to The Keview and the $60 received for lecturing form the $156 entered on the first line of page 2. His wife has no income that can be classed as a salary or wage. Neither of tljem receives anything that can be entered under "professions and voca- tions." A. F. Lorist runs a retail store in a town of some size, and his total receipts for the year were, according to his books, $20,104, for business was not quite so good as in 1913. To this he adds $980 he cleared on a real estate transac- tion. In this transaction his wife shared, so that the sum of $530 is entered on her line. Profits on Real Estate. It should be noted that in reckoning profits in real estate transactions, the cost of property purchased before the incidence of the income tax, March 1, 1913, includes the price paid for the property, tho expense of the purcha'se and also of the sale, and the carrying charges of interest, insurance and taxes actually paid before March 1, 1913. Of prop- erty purchased since that date the cost shall be the price paid for the prop- erty, the expenses of pur- chase and subsequent sale, and the actual price paid for betterment or im- provement, if any, the carrying charges having, of course, been deducted in the tax report. From the rooms over his store he received dur- ing the year $360 rent. As interest on notes he re- ceived $60; on mortgages, $75, and on his bank ac- count, $23, making a total of $158. His wife's in- terest on her bank account ¥3 10 /ff^/.Q. OM 10 The Florists' Review Febkuaby 11, 1915. is $18, On money invested in bonds he received $300. His wife received $180 in interest on bonds on which the tax was collected at source; so this sum is entered in column A, while her hus- band 's income from bonds, which was not taxed at soure^, is entered in col- umn B. „> . , From Fiduciaries. at,'-- • ■.;»-■•• As 'Elated last year, A. F. Lorist re- ceives $72 a year as his share of the income from property, which, accord- ing to his father's will, is not to be divided until two nephews of the tax- payer, orphans before their grand- father's death, shall be of age. These nephews are not yet 21, and our tax- payer has this sum to include in this year's report. Fiduciary means, in com- moner language, a trustee, executor, or the like. Of this $72, $20 is dividends on stock of a domestic corporation which pays an income tax. Therefore, this sum is entered farther down, on line 26, while the rest, $52, which comes from another source, not taxed, is entered on line 18. The greenhouses on the edge of town did not have so profitable a year in 1914 as in the preceding period, and the profits which fall to A. F. Lorist as a partner in that enterprise are only $1,COO. These are net profits, not total receipts. Part of this amount was in- vested in improvements in the green- houses before it ever reached our tax- payer's hands, but it must all be en- tered as income just the same. Tho Canadian corporation, in which the neighbor who had moved across the bor- der interested him, paid $240 in 1914, which is entered on line 20. During the year he perfected a piece of green- house apparatus, the idea for which had been buzzing in his head for some time, and patented it. From the construc- tion concern which is making use or this improvement, he received during 1914 royalties amounting to $342.60. Finally, on line 25, he enters $110 re- ceived in dividends from a corporation which pays a tax on its income. In completing the page, he adds up the columns A and B, then enters the total of the two on line 24, and, includ- ing the amount received in dividends, enters his total income at the foot of the page as $25,150.60. Oeneral Deductions. At the top of page 3, he puts down the expense, $16,120, of carrying on his store during 1914. Next he enters $380, interest on a loan from his banker. The taxes on the store property were $165.76. His wife, in whose name the home property stands, paid $144.18 in taxes. A barn on the home property burned down August 6, 1914, when it was almost completed, but before in- surance had been obtained. This is entered on his wife 's line under losses. The report this year requires the details of the occasion of the loss. Book accounts found to be worthless and charged oflf during 1914 amounted to $494. His wife held the note of a man who in 1914 went into bankruptcy; her loss on the note was $387.56. Both these items must be accounted in detail on the lines following their entry. In a like manner, the depreciation of prop- erty must be given in detail in addition to the entry of the lump sum. He fig- ures a five per cent depreciation on his brick store building, erected in 1909 and valued January 1, 1914, at $5,800; ten per cent on the greenhouses in the rear of his store; twelve per cent on his store fixtures and furnishings, and twenty per cent on his new White truck. Some concerns estimate the de- preciation on their trucks at twenty-five per cent, but the White Co. finds twenty per cent sufficient on its cars. His total deduction for depreciation is, therefore, $1,312. The total deductions, entered at the foot of page 3, are $19,203.50. The totals of each of pages 2 and 3 are entered on page 1, on lines 1 and 2, and the difference computed. From this amount, the net income, are de- ducted the entries on lines 23 and 27 of page 2, and the specific exemption, in this case $4,000, as the taxpayer is a married man and lives with his wife. The remainder is the taxable income, in this case $1,637.10. One per cent of this amount, the tax, is entered at the foot of the page, and the work is done. If anyone should compare the sched- ules filed last year and this year by A. F. Lorist, he must remember in so doing that last year's tax was only on the income of the last ten months of 1913, while this year's is on the entire twelve months of 1914. While, there- fore, his income seems to have in- creased, if allowance is made for the greater length of the period covered it will be found to have decreased, which seems to have been the case with most florists during 1914.

The Florists' Review RETAIL STORE MANAGEMENT WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TRADE ARE DOING MORE THAN A MONEY MATTEE. How a retail business may become, even in a department store, something more than merely commercial transac- tion is shown by the present successful riower section in the Milwaukee de- partment store of Gimbel Bros. For this there are practical reasons. The first is the young and energetic mana- ;;er, A. H. MacDonald, who for tho last eleven years has been gaining expe- lience with various middle-west retaii- I'fS. His department, covering seventy-five feet of floor space, is at the main en- trance of the store. In the large dis- 1.1 ay icebox, one section is given over u> the exhibition of made-up baskets ,111(1 corsage and Dutch bouquets; the n'st is filled with the best flowers, par- ticularly novelties. There is also a refrigerator display window in the lobby of the main en- trance, reckoned as one of the most valuable in the store, occupied exclu- sively by flowers. This is changed daily, giving prominence to something different each day. Those who know Gimbel Bros, and Milwaukee, will reaci- ily realize that thousands of people ob- serve these displays each day. Those who do not buy there, I am told, go to their own florist and ask for something similar. At first the buyers always asked the price per dozen and the usual many uncalled-for questions. As confidence was lacking, the customers would wait until their orders were filled. But in two months things were different. Mr. MacDonald had worked up a telephone trade and had an appreciative patron- age, and now the department is in the same class as other leading retailers. Another reason for this result, be- sides that of having gained the pa- tron's confidence, is the prompt deliver}- service. AH near-by deliveries are made as first calls by the regular wagons; all others are made by bpys. Before spring there will be an automobile for the exclusive use of this department. Although the department has been in operation only four months, it has a good demand for the following roses: George Elgar, Hoosier Beauty, Ophelia, Kussell, Hadley and Fireflame. Mr. MacDonald is pleased with the fact that he has never felt a need to resort to the dollar box, as his policy is "Art, quality and reasonable prices." Sasnuel Seligman. liOUISVIKLE AUTOMOBILE SHOW. The entire decorating contract of the Louisville automobile show, something of which may be seen in the accom- panying illustration, was handled by E. G. Reimers & Son Co., of that city. Taking the bare armory, with a floor space of 200 x 300 feet and not a col- umn, this firm supplied everything from the 7-foot imitation iron fence whicii divided the exhibits to the festoons strung with colored lights and bearing at intervals 100-watt tungstens. King Cotton was the feature of the; show, so far as the decorations were concerned. The whole balcony was lined with spruce trees and large cotton plants, from which hung wild smilax dotted with cotton bolls. The tall posts holding the festoons were wrapped with cotton from a height of six feet upward and bore a large cotton plant on top. The festoon wires were covered with smilax and cotton bolls and carried 900 lights in all. The exhibits were separated by imita- tion iron picket fence, ranging from four to seven feet in height. This was covered with southern smilax. At the end of each dividing fence was a large rustic stand filled with palms and foliage plants. The general effect, that of a southern garden and cotton field, excited much comment. FLOWER DAYS BY LAW. A bill is before the Tennessee State Legislature, recommending the celebra- tion of the second Sunday of May as Mothers' day, the first Sunday in June as Fdthers' day, and the first Wednes- day in November as Chrysanthemum day, all to be celebrated with appropri- ate exercises in the public schools and by the wearing of the designated car- nations on Mothers ' day, roses on Fathers' day and the placing of chrys- anthemums on graves on Chrysanthe- mum day. Mr. Lewis, a Nashville news- paper reporter, is giving the matter general publicity in the press of the state. The bill, if passed, will not make these legal holidays, but merely recommend their observance. F. B. AT A MACON MARRIAGE. The low price of cotton evidently does not interfere with the prosperity of the Idle Hour Nurseries, at Macon, Ga. The illustrations on the following ' pages show parts of a $2,000 order, recently executed by the concern, for the Dempsey-Wright marriage. To Dan C. Morgan is due the credit for the decorations. All of the stock used came from the greenhouses of his con- ciern. An idea of the quantity used may be gained from the fact that 500 orchids were distributed in the various arrangements. The bride's bouquet was of orchids and valley, the maid of honor's of white roses and violets, and the brides- maids' were of pink roses and valley. Of the decorations of the house, the following, clipped from a local news- paper, gives a brief but clear account: "The drawing room, where the cere- mony was performed, was, if possible, even more strikingly beautiful than the other rooms. The decorations here were entirely in green and white. The mantel was banked with orchids Decoration at the Louisville Automobile Show, Pint RegimcDt Armoty, by E. G. Reimers & Son Co. 12 The Florists' iRcvicw E^BBUARY 11, 1915. Bouquets in Use at a Recent Georgia Wedding. and lilies, and the improvised altar, ar- ranged in the form of an enormous shell, was made of orchids and valley and myriads of tiny lights. An aisle leading to the altar was formed by Easter lilies and white ribbon. In the next room the walls were hung with gold wall pockets filled with pink ear- nations and roses. All the mantels were banked with ferns, roses and lilies. The hall was gorgeously deco- rated with tall vases of American Beauty roses, and around the foot of the circular staircase were quantities of red azaleas, the entire stairway and landing being hung with smilax and studded with American Beauties. "In the dining room the table was exquisite, with a centerpiece of orchids, which appeared to be growing natu- rally iij a tree stump. In the room where the gifts were on display, the walls were hung with baskets of Kil- larney roses and white hyacinths. Be- tween all of the rooms portieres of smilax, valley and hyacinths were held back by ropes of orchids. F. T. D. MEETING. The Florists' Telegraph Delivery Association will have a meeting of di- rectors at the La Salle hotel in Chicago, March 2, at 10 a. m. Members are invited to attend this meeting if possi- ble. Albert Pochelon, Sec'y. BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS. Binghamton, N. Y. — Unless creditor.s show cause to the contrary, William Stewart, trustee for James W. Shearer, bankrupt, will sell to F. A. Hutchings, of this city, for $3,000, or to anyone who will pay more, the greenhouses and land on Broome street February 13. The property includes four parcels of land on which the greenhouses are sit- uated and the contents of the houses. It has been inventoried for $7,400 aside from the contents. The property is sold subject to mortgages amounting to $2,000 and a claim of $420 yearly to Frank Shearer, father of the bankrupt and formerly head of the firm of F. Shearer & Son, who is now oVer 70 years old. The bankrupt estate was inventoried at $21,174.60 at the time of filing the petition. Salem, O. — Application for a receiver for the greenhouses formerly owned by him was made by Joseph E. Bonsali February 2 in an action filed Against V. Austin Cowgill, charging violation of the terms of a contract entered into at the time the houses were sold to the latter four years ago. Judge Moore appointed J. E. McNeelan receiver, to take immediate charge of the property. Mr. Bonsali states that at the time of the sale Mr. Cowgill agreed to operate the greenhouses to the best of his abil- ity, particularly the rose houses, but that he has placed Fred Meyerhofer in charge of the greenhouses and leaset) the property to J. J. Gunn & Son, wit i the result that the property is rapidly deteriorating in value. He asks for i judgment of $10,000 against Cowgill and that the greenhouses and real estat.j be sold at public sale to satisfy th > claim. THE lUiINOIS MEETING.

Will you kindly give us some instruc- tions on the germinating of Asparagus plumosus seeds? We seldom get more than fifty per cent of them to grow. After they are germinated we have no further trouble. We sow in flats, in three inches of sandy loam, and cover the seeds to a depth of about one- fourth of an inch. Before sowing, we soak the seeds for twenty-four to forty- Koeeling Stool Overhvog by Canopy of Orchids and Valley. FBBBHAKY 11, 1S15. TIic Florists^ Review 13 «ieht hours. After sowing, we put the flats in a sand pit which is used for the propagation of coleus. This pit is in good light, with no direct sunshine, and has a slate bottom, with pipes be- neath. The bottom heat is 70 to 80 degrees. The flAti do not stand directly on the slates, bttt there is about one inch of sand in the pit. Then we sur- round the flats with lights of glass and also place glass on top, to keep in the moisture. Of course we ventilate occasionally. E. M. A. The treatment described in the fore- going letter does not seem- to be se- riously wrong, except that the covering of the flats with a case of glass is not necessary for these seeds, and might cause fungi in the soil to a sufficient degree to rot some of the seeds and thus to lower the percentage of ger- mination. A temperature of 65 to 70 degrees is sufficient for asparagus seeds, and it is quite possible that you have kept them rather too warm and moist. Some growers sow in shallow iienches in a warm house, in preference to putting the seeds in flats. W. H. T. SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. State Vice-president.

Frau Karl Druschki is often called Reine des Neiges in France and will probably be so known in the fu- ture. For Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, the names Tommy Atkins, Gloire de Louvain and Souvenir de Reims have been suggested. But, it is interesting to note, while the discussion of renam- ing goes on, the varieties are appear- ing under their old German names in the advertisements of the French trade papers that have resumed publication. Darmstadt, Germany. — "I am pleased to state," said Ludwig Heyn, proprie- tor of the grass and tree seed business of Conrad Appel, speaking January 14, "that trade with America now is in full swing. With the help of my New York agents, Loewith, Larsen & Co., I obtained quite a fair amount of my usual orders, and most of them are al- ready executed and on the way to New York, although at first some of my American friends feared not to be able to get any seed from me. By arrange- ments with forwarders in neutral ports, my export trade has been done smoothly and safely and without delay. Financial conditions in Germany are excellent in every respect; payments are coming in without delay, the banks are doing regular business, and we all have the highest confidence in our army and the kaiser, that this war will be carried out with all power and soon lead to a successful and glorious peace." Leiden, Holland. — It is reported here that when Bruges was occupied by the invading army the priceless orchid plants of Sander & Sons were evicted in order that the houses might be used as a shelter for horses. Uxbridge, England. — At the com- mencement of the war Lowe & Shaw- yer had a large acreage of crops in hand, and were paying out close to $2,500 a week in wages and salaries. They did not consider themselves justi- fied in continuing this under the cir- cumstances, so they called their men together and asked them to say which of the following two courses they pre- ferred: (1) For all to stay on who cared to, and for all to take part only of their regular wages for the time be- ing, with a promise that the part left should be paid later if all the firm's crops could be sold. (2) For a consid- erable number of hands to be paid off, and for those kept on to be paid their wages in full. The men voted unani- mously in favor of No. 1, and no men were discharged at all. Lowe & Shaw- yer have been able to market prac- tically all their produce, and in late January the last of the back wages were paid up in full. The firm has started giving the men Saturday after- noons off, except when urgent work has to be done. In these cases, and for Sunday work, Lowe & Shawyer propose henceforward to pay for all time made at time-and-a-half. They are also en- deavoring to institute a system of bon- uses and other extras under which, if successful, their men will be able to add considerably to their wages. Fbbbdabt 11, 1915. The Florists^ Review 19 NEW YORK. The Market. A stormy week, with snow and rain in equal quantities, naturally resulted in lighter shipments and quiet business. Prices were steady up to February 6, but since then have been gradually softening. The arrivals are increasing. This week probably will see again a great abundance of everything. Eoses have maintained their record as the backbone of the market. American Beauties were firm at 60 cents each for the best, and occasionally sales were made at $9 per dozen. The quality of the low grades was decidedly unsatis- factory. All the novelty roses con- tinue in limited supply and are quickly taken off the market. There is likely to be, before the week ends, a surplus of Killarney. Orchids continue to be the surprise of the market; not only is' the price abnormally low but the supply still is overabundant. At pres- ent quotations many retailers utilize them for window decoration. This flow;er is certainly the bargain of the season. There is no variation in the price of gardenias and lilies are again receding, $8 per hundred being high tide and in quantity offered at less. Valley is overabundant and prices are tending downward. Carnations also are receding and $20 per thousand is pre- dicted before the week is over. South- ern gladioli are done. Some fine tulips are here and daffodils, freesias, hya- cinths and sweet peas are abundant, while 35 cents per hundred seems to be top for violets. Club Meeting. Nearly 200 members of the Florists' Club attended the meeting February 8, President Bunyard in the chair. F. H. Traendly presented the final report on the flower show of 1914, show- ing total expenditures of $27,260 and a profit of $820, fifty per cent of which is added to the club's treasury. C. H. Totty reported for the com- mittee on the president's address, con- curring in the suggestions for affiliation with other horticultural societies, and for a permanent home for the club. J. H. Pepper moved for immediate dis- cussion and Max Schling also empha- sized the value of immediate action. Mr. Bunyard said that in answer to his circular to members, the majority of replies were favorable and over $5,000 was pledged for the purchase of bonds. A committee to consider the matter and report at the next meeting was appoint- ed as follows: F. R. Kerson, Philip Kessler, C. H. Totty, J. K. Allen, Julius Roehrs, A. T. De La Mare, W. A. Man- da, A. L. Miller, F. H. Traendly, W. E. Cobb, W. H. Duckham, H. E. Froment, G. M. Stumpp and Leonard Barron. M. C. Ebel read the resolutions on the death of Charles McTaggert. Thomas Boothe de Forest reported for the trans- portation committee for the Buffalo con- vention, and F. E. Pierson for the spring flower show. The essay commit- tee reported the engagement of Prof. Lynch for a lecture on the Panama- Pacific Exposition, with stereopticon views, at the March meeting, which will be rose night. Charles Schenck reported for the annual dinner committee. Andrew Schlevogt, Isadore IHght and Louis Strauss were elected to member- ship and each addressed the club. Arthur Herrington, F. E.

Gentlemen:- Klndly have our ad read like the one in your Carnation Number only use our regular space until further notice. It may perhaps interest you to know that we get quite a few inquiries through your paper from the Atlantic coast states. We made lately a shipment to Groton, Mass., and have just received another order from Washington, D. C. The Review no doubt covers the extreme eastern states pretty well. Yours truly, ICKES-BRAUM UILL CO. Per Q-OcJi^^ McAnney were proposed. Eesignation:; were read from Sydney Wertheimer, J. J. Beschamp, J. E. Baumann, John R. Weir, Emerson McFadden and Charles H.

Irwin, Joseph Fenrich, John Donaldson, John Miesem and Jos. Manda. J. B. Deamud's motion that every ex- president of the club be made an hon- orary member was laid on the table. The splendid lunch was donated by Philip Kessler, who received a standing vote of thanks for his courtesy. The exhibits filled the entire center of the rooms. Each exhibit received the hearty thanks of the club. They were: Charles Weber, Lynbrook, L. I., Lanra Weber and Mrs. Ernest Thalman, a fine scarlet. J. F. Marsden, Far Rockaway, a cerise-salmon carnation as yet unnamed. A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., Phila- delphia, Eureka and the seedling, Arawana, a dark, velvety novelty. A. L.

Harvey, of Brandywine Summit, Pa., who ships carnations and sweet peas to W. P. Ford, was a visitor this week. Joseph H. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., also was here recently. Wm. Elliott & Sons report the season opening well. They have received prac* tically all their European seeds with little delay. Harry A. Bunyard has decided to undertake the seed business on his own account and is located temporarily at 131 West Twenty-eighth street. Ho has been associated with Arthur T. Bod- dington for many years, and is well known by the trade everywhere in this country. The MacNiff Horticultural Co. has doubled its office force as spring busi- ness increases. The guarantee fund for the spring show is close to $7,000 and Chairman F. R. Pierson asserts that the success of the show is assured. St. Patrick's day is the opening date. The reports from the home of L. i>. Coddington, at Murray Hill, as to his recovery, are encouraging. Following H. E. Froment 's decision to move to the west side of Sixth ave- nue, other wholesalers have expressed their intention of following suit. The opening of the new subway at Seventh avenue and Twenty-eighth street wiU make the section between Sixth and Seventh avenues particularly desirable. Meyer Othile and W. M. Bishop, of Badgley, Riedel & Meyer, celebrated their birthdays on the same date last week. J. D. & Arthur Cockcroft have decided to sell their own flowers and have ac- quired space on the floor of the New York Cut Flower Co., with M. Murphy, formerly with Dailledouze Bros., aa salesman. M. A. Bowe had charge at the Gibbs- Wheelock wedding, using over 1,000 or- chids; also the Maxwell-Moore wedding at Greenwich, Conn., and several fu- neral orders for L. V. Harkness, of San Francisco, including a pall of orchids and 15,000 violets. J. A. Shaw. Reed & Keller have applied for a 20 The Florists^ Review Februaby 11, 1015. patent on a combination flower vase and electric standing floor lamp, so con- structed that fresh cut flowers can be arranged in the metal containers of the vase. There will be an exhibition by the Horticultural Society February 17 at the American Museum of Natural His- tory. Premiums are offered for cut blooms of orchids, roses, sweet peas, schizanthus, antirrhinum, freesias, and narcissus. Prizes may also be awarded for exhibits not provided for in the schedule, and such exhibits are so- licited. There will be a meeting of the society at 3:45, followed by an illus- trated lecture, by W. C. McCollum, on "The Small Greenhouse — Its Use and Abuse. ' ' MANCHESTER, MASS. The regular meeting of the North Shore Horticultural Society was held February 5, in Lee's hall. Vice-presi- dent E. H. Wetterlow in the chair. A. Leuthy, of Eoslindale, gave an interest- ing talk on palms and their insect pests, describing palm growing and selling from a financial as well as a grower's standpoint, bringing out strongly the fact that growing palms is one thing and selling them at a profit is quite another. Mr. Leuthy gave some valua- ble information as regards treatment of fungus and insect pests, scale of va- rious kinds, mealy bug, etc., and gave definite directions for the safe use of hydrocyanic acid gas. A good general discussion followed the lecture. The show committee distributed the schedule of prizes for the exhibition which is to be held August 4 and 5. The next meeting will be held February 19. W. Till, Cor. Sec'y. MOTTLY MUSINGS. The United States Cut Flower Co., Elmira, N. Y., has absorbed the La France greenhouses, in addition to rent- ing the Backer plant. Superintendent Eichard King says Geranium Helen Michell will supplant Ricard, as it keeps true to type, is more robust and is a remarkably free bloomer. Fine strikes of cuttings of this and other leading kinds are on the benches. Car- nation Mrs. C. W. Ward is giving bet- ter satisfaction than last year. Gor- geous varies in color. White Wonder is truly named. The newer kinds are having a thorough trial. Lilium gigan- teum is rooted on the benches, the pots being heavily covered with leaves. Taller plants are thus produced. The objection to starting them under the benches is lack of ventilation. Frank Marquardt, of Ralph M. Ward & Co., agreed that the lilies are amon^ the finest he has yet noted. It is still an open question here, whether grafted or own-root roses are preferable; both are grown with success. Robert Klebert, of the Hoffman Greenhouses, Elmira, believes that Rosette is a profitable carnation to grow. It may be planted more closely than many kinds, is free and the calyx does not split. It brought a better price than any others this season. H. N. Hoffman finds time, aniid his mayoral duties, to attend to his nur- sery and farms, which are increasing in extent. H. N., Jr., is taking a course in landscape work at Cornell, as the outlook for an efficient architect is fa- vorable in this locality. A. H. Woeppel, Corning, N. Y., was agreeably surprised at the popularity of the cyclamen as a holiday seller. Every plant in bloom was sold quickly and there were several hundreds. The vastly improved strain, both in flower and foliage, is undoubtedly the reason. Some fine plants that were left over are now going as fast as they bloom. The season has been a good one and preparations are seen on all sides for a heavy spring business. Andrew Yeager, AUentown, Pa., will continue the business founded by his father, whose decease was recently noted. Mrs. Andrew Yeager, Jr., is a most able assistant. D. W. Davis, Berwick, Pa., is getting his patrons in line for St. Valentine's day by having attractive reminders conspicuously placed. W. M. BRAMPTON, ONT. After two heavy snow storms during January, there came a most severe downfall February 2 and a beating rain, setting in February 5, caused the en- •tire collapse of one of the American Beauty houses 350 feet in length at the Dale Estate. There were quite tea inches of snow on the glass before the rain came, but everything inside looked secure, and as the plants were being rested for the purpose of cutting them back in a week or two, no serious danger was feared. This is the first in- stance in which the Dale Estate has suffered through any of the houses giv- ing way, and the mild weather at the end of the week it is hoped will en- able the entire damage to be set right before the colder weather again sets in. It is understood here that Messrs. O 'Fields, at Grimsby, who are large growers of tomatoes, had about 800 feet of their houses broken in by the ex- ceptionally heavy weight of snow. Bulbous stock is being cut in large quantities and a great many of the smaller growers are disposing of their stock at prices never before heard of. Roses are off crop, but magnificent or- chids are coming in so plentifully that they sell at from $5 to $20 per hundred. Wm. Seatty, who has been with the Dale Estate for the last eight years, has almost recovered from his recent illness. Jovial William was deputy reeve for 1914, and last week resigned the position to accept the appointment as town assessor at a remunerative salary. W. G. P.

Cumberland, Md. — Russell C. Paupe has purchased the Flower Shop, at 53 North Liberty street, formerly conduct- ed by Mrs. Katherine N. Bretz. The store will be in the charge of Miss Mabel Paupe, who has been connected with the Flower Shop for the last two years. Iiincoln, EL — Adolph Nielsen, of Mor- ton Grove, HI., has accepted a position as foreman of GuUett & Sons' new east side range and has moved to Lincoln, where his new duties began February 1. Gullett & Sons will plant quite largely of the newer varieties of roses at their new range and Mr. Nielsen will also be in charge of grafting a considerable part of the stock which is to be planted the coming spring at the new Gullett plant. Mr. Nielsen has been in charge of seventeen houses of Poehlmann Bros. Co., Plant B, Morton Grove, and also has been in charge of grafting opera- tions there for several years.

Ottawa., EL — Lohr Bros., who for several years have been running the old King greenhouses and have estab- lished a nice city trade, have recently purchased several acres of ground oppo- site the entrance of the cemetery on the Starved Rock road just outside the city limits at the terminal of the city railway. They are preparing for the erection of a modern greenhouse plant consisting of two houses 35 x 150, with an attractive store and a spacious boiler and service house. It is their intention to run the new place in connection with their present establishment and their new gla6s area will be devoted mostly to cut flowers and bedding plants. The location is no doubt one of the finest for their purpose which could have been found in the city. The contract for the greenhouse work was awarded to the Ickes-Braun Mill Co., Chicago. !tr. FXBBUARY 11, 1915. The Florists' Review 21 OBITUARY Jesse E. Northrup. Jesse E. Northrup, a former presi- dent of the American Seed Trade Asso elation, founder of the seed firm of Northrup, King & Co., Minneapolis, Minn,, and for nearly thirty years man- ager of the business, died February 3, at his home, 1900 Emerson avenue, south, Minneapolis, at the age of 57 years. He was stricken with apoplexy two years ago and had never fully re- covered. He was born in Salem, Mich., Decem- ber 1, 1857, the son of Elijah A. and Sarah (Brown) Northrup. His father was prominent in Michigan and was a state senator at the time of his death. Jesse attended Waterville Academy, Waterville, N. Y., and Hungerford In- stitute, Adams, N. Y. He entered busi- ness as a seedsman in 1879 and removed to Minneapolis in 1884, founding the wholesale seed house with which his name has been connected ever since. He retired from active participation in the business in 1912. He was elected president of tho American Seed Trade Association at the Rochester convention, June 11 to 13, 1901. His interest in plant life and outdoor beautification led to his service on the park board. He was a commissioner from 1889 to 1895; from April, 1900, to January, 1901, and from January, 1903, to January, 1913, when he re- signed on account of poor health. He was vice-president of the board from 1905 to 1907, and president from 1907 to 1909. Through a long part of his membership he was chairman of the im- provements committee. In his seventeen years of service as member of the board of park commis- sioners, he showed his appreciation of the natural advantages of the land- scape by means of which it was possible to make Minneapolis one of the most beautiful cities in the world. One of the pioneers in the movement for in- telligent acquisition and improvement of park territory, and of the upbuilding of connecting boulevards, he took a large part in the actual work that has resulted in the system today that has challenged thd admiration of all visit- ors. As a practical seedsman, he took a deep interest in originating and intro- ducing valuable seeds suited to north- ern conditions. He was one of the earliest preachers of the possibilities of Minnesota as a corn state and he lived to see corn grown hundreds of miles north of its 1884 "farthest north" line. Mr. Northrup was a Republican and a member of the Congregational church. Four children are living. They are a son, Edwin B. Northrup, now secretary of Northrup, King & Co., and three daughters, Mrs. Gerald Martin, and the Misses Isabel and Helen Northrup. Mrs. Northrup died several years ago. Richard Groves. Richard Groves, for fourteen years the owner of the Park Floral Co., at San Francisco, Cal., was struck by the Southern Pacific Stockton flyer Satur- day night, January 30, at San Leandro, Cal., and was almost instantly killed. He was crossing the tracks during a rain storm, and his umbrella obstructed his view of the approaching train. A brother, Frank R. Groves, in the florists' business in Oakland, Cal., was notified of the accident. After instruc- tions had been received from the par- ents, at Atchison, Kan., the funeral services were held at Oakland Monday afternoon, February 1, and the body was placed in a receiving vault. Later, when the health of the parents permits, it will be taken to Atchison, to be in- terred in the family lot. Mr. Groves was born in Atchison, Kan., January 23, 1870, where his father, R. J. Groves, is rounding out his fiftieth year in the florists' busi- ness. He went east to gain experience in special lines and opened up a busi- ness of his own in Topeka, where he remained four years. In 1903 he estab- lished the Park Floral Co., a retail con- cern, at 1437 Haight street, San Fran- sek took charge. She is continuing the business, but hopes to dispose of it. H. J. S. BALTIMOSE. Richard Groves. Cisco, near the entrance to Golden Gate park. He gradually worked into the wholesale business, and closed out the business on Haight street several months ago in order to give his whole time to the wholesale end, in which he was engaged in San Leandro at the time of his death. He was secretary of the Haight and Ashbury Improve- ment Association, an organization of business men to work in behalf of the Panama-Pacific exposition. John Meyer. John Meyer, for fifteen years florist at the quartermaster's depot at Jeffer- sonville, Ind., is dead after two days' sickness, at Portland, Ore. He was 69 years old and a native of Germany. Anthony W. Wonasek. Anthony W. Wonasek, of Milwaukee, Wis., died January 17, after a long illness. He was 34 years old. For a time he was manager of the flower de- partment of the Boston Store. Later he opened a retail store at 717 Grand avenue, under the name of the Flower Shop. He served his patrons personally until his last illness, when Mrs. Wona- The Market. We have had almost three weeks of continuously cloudy weather, something rather unusual, and its effect is felt especially in the cut flower market. The demand continues to be better than the supply. Roses are a little more plentiful, but carnations are scarce and have reached $4 per hundred, the top price this season for fancy stock. Valley has been selling poorly, and lilies, both rubrum and the Easter type, have been in little demand; even at reduced prices few sales were made. Violets have jumped from a glut a week ago to almost a scarcity during the latter part of last week, with a corresponding rise in prices. A good number of tulips are seen, of a much better quality than formerly. Golden Spur jonquils are also in good supply. The week's demand was mostly for standard stock, novelties not being much called for. There is a good sup- ply of greens. Club Meeting. The regular meeting of the Garden- ers' and Florists' Club was held Feb- ruary 8, Vice-president Hamilton in the chair. A motion to amend the by- laws was made, so that the nomination of candidates for oflBce will be made at the meeting before election instead of making the nominations and hold- ing the election both at the same meet- ing, as has been the custom. Action will be taken at the next meeting. It was decided to hold the annual banquet on the election night, as usual, and a committee consisting of I. H. Moss, James Boone and F. C. Bauer was ap- pointed to make the arrangements. It was also decided to hold the nomina- tions at the next meeting. Quite a number of members were in favor of increasing the annual dues so that more entertaining can be done for the mem- bers and their families. Various Notes. The Leo Niessen Co. is handling a fine supply of cut myosotia. Richard Vincent, Jr., has been on the go all over the state, lecturing before different clubs and organizations, and he spent this week on the "eastern sho'. " J. R. Dunkerly, of Dorsey, suffered a sad bereavement last week, losing his wife and young child after a short illness. The Pennock-Meehan Co. put a new delivery car in service last week. This car was promised in time to take care of the Christmas trade, but was de- layed in shipment from the factory. Harry J. Quick, who has been ill, is slowly recovering, although not well enough to leave his room. M. Hilpert expects to extend each of his houses fifty feet during the com- ing season. This will give him four houses, each 200 feet long. Joseph Merritt is cutting some good Gorgeous carnations. W. F. E. Ashtabula, O. — Faust & Lockwood, who formerly had their headquarters at 164 Main street, have moved across the street to 153 Main street. The new store has been remodeled and a plate- glass window installed. ) 22 The Florists' Review I Februabt 11, 1915. Established, 1897. by G. L. GRANT.

There is no white carnation in sight that looks as though it is as good as Matchless. Do you realize we are halfway from Christmas to Easter f High time to get busy Avith preparations. With wheat selling above $1.60 per bushel it looks as though the middle west could afford a few geraniums in the front yard this spring. Collections have been slowing up. The business will no longer stand for the lax methods that once suflBiced to turn a profit in this trade and it is necessary to watch credits closer and push collec- tions harder. From the quantity of advertising literature the trade is sending to The Review, it is apparent a greater effort than ever before is being made this week to interest the public in the use of flowers for valentines. This is the month of Washington, who formed the Union; of Lincoln, who saved the Union, and of St. Valentine, who kindled lots of other unions; each helping those who help themselves, in this year of grace, to sell flowers. Secretary Young has this week dis- tributed the proceedings of the thirtieth annual convention of the S. A. F. The volume runs to 348 pages and for the first time is freely illustrated, the views being those of the convention gardens of the last two years. HOW LONG, O LOBD, HOW LONO? The other day a stranger handed a florist a check for $50 to make "a de- posit" of $10 against an order. The flower man did not have $40, but offered to go out after change! "Never mind,"' said the stranger, "give me what you have; you can send the rest later." And the florist cleaned his cash drawer! Which leads to the question: Did the faker figure the neighbors were some smarter than the florist; that the grocer might put him wise if he went out looking for change for the check of a stranger ? How long, O Lord, how long can that hoary swindle be worked on men in this trade? Will the day never come when small florists can distinguish be- tween men they know and men they never saw before? Will repeated ex- posures of this petty swindle never teach the trade to "Stop, Look, Listen" and THINK when a total stranger asks cash change for a check? UABIUTY FOB LSAHY MAINS. Florists who are considering action against gas companies for loss of stock from gas escaping from mains will find of great value the article published in The Review December 25, 1913, review- ing court decisions in reference to the right of a florist to recover damages against a gas company for negligently permitting gas to escape from leaky mains and percolate through the ground into the florist's greenhouses and there kill or injure his stock. The law of lia- bility in such cases is supported by a decision which has just been handed down by the Oregon Supreme court, in the case of Sharkey vs. Portland Gas & Coke Co., 144 Pacific Reporter 1152. This case involved recovery for the loss of shade trees caused by gas leaking from a main near by. The trial court rendered judgment in favor of the com- pany, but the Supreme court reversed the decision, saying: "Illuminating gas is a dangerous thing when it eludes control, and it is incumbent upon those who deal in it as an article of merchandise to use care commensurate with its harmful nature. Of course, the diligence must be such as an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under like circumstances in managing such an article. In brief, the care must be proportionate to the danger to be reasonably apprehended from the agency under consideration." S. FLORISTS AND PARCEL POST. The parcel post has not proved of great value to florists — generally con- sidered too slow and too rough. For the shipment of supplies and for small quantities of cuttings and other stock that can be packed tightly enough to resist mailbag transportation and crushing, the parcel post is extremely useful, but not so much so for cut flowers or plants requiring quick service and careful handling. The insurance feature of the parcel post is not what the trade wants; it covers loss, not damage. The special delivery feature is fine; it is of great service to retailers in the large cities. But the C. O. D. service does not seem to be understood by the trade. Parcels can be sent C. O. D. by mail the same as express and the trade could make important use of the service. HONORABLE MENTION. Not a few subscribers save them- selves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Review $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: five years. Winkler, Edward. Wakefield, Mass. TWO YEARS. Swan & Bemdtson, Lawrence, Mass. Glauner, Wm. J., Morton Grove, 111. NelUst, John F., Grand Rapids, Mich. The Review stops coming when the subscription runs out. The green no- tice with the last copy tells the story; no bills are run up; no duns sent. MARK YOUB VALUES. A point of perhaps greater signifi- cance and importance than appears on the surface is brought up by the claim of the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., con- signee, against the American Express Co., growing out of the loss of a com- bined shipment of violets at Christmas. The loss was approximately $900, on violets from Rhinebeck, N. Y., which should have reached Pittsburgh Decem- ber 24, but which were laid over twen- ty-four hours at Buffalo, the transfer point, and which therefore were too late for the Christmas trade. The express company refuses to ad- just the claim on the ground that no valuation was declared at the time the freight was receipted for by its agent. It seeks refuge in the ruling of the. Interstate Commerce Commission and in the interpretation of the law which has said a carrier is entitled to know in advance the value of anything for which it may later be held responsible. If the express company persists in its attitude the matter will no doubt get into court, as the consignee believes it can prove gross negligence. CHICAGO. The Market. In this year of things military, prob- ably we should say that the market per- formed a right-about-face toward the close of last week, as. February 8 found conditions radically different from what they were seven days before. Dark, cold weather was one of the influences that caused supply to fall off sharply. But another strong factor was the pass- ing off of the heavy crops of carnations which have been the rule so far this season. While roses are less plentiful than at any time heretofore this year, the principal change is on carnations. These are much less abundant. Prices are considerably stronger than they were. Splits are not now so much in evidence and the average quality of the carnations is excellent. Of course, with decreasing supplies there began to be a scrambling for stock, but the increase in demand was more apparent than real. The dark weather has done serious damage to Killarney. There are not many short stems, but enough of the longest grade. While the buyers require few of the extra long stems, the stock in general is decidedly off color. The» result is that the flowers are not mak- ing the prices they usually have under like conditions of shortage. The ab- sence of Russell is explained by the statement that growers are busy propa- FlOBBDABY 11, 1016.

Eichmond is not so plentiful as it was, but there are one or two growers cutting good crops of Milady. It has been a long time since this market was so short of Beauties. The growers who are cutting any quantity are not fortunate enough to have good quality. The demand ap- pears to have subsided with the de- crease in supply and the deterioration in quality. Today more than ever be- fore the Beauty growers are convinced that this rose no longer pays. If anyone finds difficulty in getting roses or carnations, let him order vio- lets. Last week prices were the lowest of the season. It is expected that there will be a first-class demand for St. Val- entine's day, though no high prices are anticipated. Bulbous stock of all descriptions is abundant. There are none too many good tulips, but there is an oversupply of poor flowers. Jonquils have become more than equal to the demand, but there is not yet any large quantity of daffodils. Paper Whites continue a glut. Freesia is more plentiful than ever be- fore in this market, but is selling well. Easter lilies, for the moment, are in comparatively light supply. Callas are available, but are not in special request. Rubrums sell fairly well. Perhaps as good a seller as anything is the Spencer type of sweet peas. The weather conditions have been such that the plants still are dropping the buds and the supply is not large. Such good stock as is received sells on sight. Ste- via is making its final bow for the sea- son. The green goods situation remains practically without change. There is an abundance of everything in this line. A New Loop Store. Wra.

The lo- cation is excellent and affords facilities for a large business. It is understood the store will open about March 1. Incidentally, the corner of Wabash avenue and Monroe street is becoming a retail flower store center. George Wienhoeber, John Mangel and the Bo- hannon Floral Co. are close at hand and A. Lange and the Alpha Floral Co. are only a block away, with several smaller stores in near-by basements. Chicago Florists' Club. The Chicago Florists' Club gave an old-fashioned smoker at the meeting February 4, at the Bismarck hotel. Clay pipes and an abundance of to- bacco were furnished to the members. Early in the meeting, Eeinhold Schiller suggested a novel means of promoting better acquaintance among those pres- ent. Starting with the president, W. J. Keimel, each person was introduced to his neighbors with the details as to what he is and where he belongs.

Harry Friend, 108 East Fifty-first street, who has been in his present lo- cation five months, says business has not opened up as well as he expected. This, however, should be only a ques- tion of time, as he has a good stand and an attractive store. George Wienhoeber has put in a large new icebox in the basement of ^is store, for the storage of stock. It was built by the H. G. Koellner Co. His display windows are attracting much attention. W. H.

For three years Chicago florists have been using insecticides made by Fred A. Zenke, who now has progressed far enough so that he is undertaking na- tional distribution of his products. The retailers' association is working on a plan for cooperative buying that will be the special subject for consid- eration at the next meeting.

Trade has been rather quiet during the last two weeks, yet considerable business has been done. Transient trade is poor. Jonquils, daffodils and tulips are plen- tiful, and there is a vigorous demand for them. Bulbous stock in pots is sell- ing well, and azaleas, cyclamens and primroses come second on the list of desirables. The cold, dark weather of last week made roses scarce, and consequently the prices are up just now. My Maryland, Killarney, White Killarney, Taft, Ward and Milady are all good. Cecile Brun- ner is in demand. Orchid sweet peas are extra fine and sell well, having preference over the common sweet peas. Cattleyas are overabundant and are used in general work, for corsages, etc. Carnations seem to sell better than any flowers at this writing; Perfection, En- chantress Supreme, Ward and Beacon all are of good quality. Asparagus, leucothoe sprays, hardy ferns and bronze and green galas are all plentiful and good. Various Notes. The force of the two stores of W. J.
